75. It's like waiting for the wind to come
"I think one of the main reasons why Chinese rock music has not yet entered the mainstream market and has not been accepted by the public is that there are not so many music appreciators and acceptors."
"For example, at the flyover, if you want to have an opera performance, maybe there will be people going to join in the excitement in the first few performances, but in the future, you basically have to rely on free tickets to ensure that the theater is not empty, because our mainstream aesthetics are not in this area."
"Of course, I'm not saying that rock and opera are necessary aesthetics."
"There are many things that can be aesthetically pleasing in my country, such as our Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Qin dialect ancient tunes, which are all aesthetics, as well as cross talk, which is also aesthetics, and they ...... internally a few years ago."
Zhang Jinfan said that he wanted to expand on cross talk, after all, there has been a person in the cross talk industry in the past ten years, although there have been a lot of doubts and frictions, but it has barely completed a leap forward development.
However, he started and stopped, he was optimistic that Lou San could become the person who carried the flag, but unfortunately, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes.
Lu Chengkang sat across from him and didn't speak, just listened silently.
The people in front were too irritable, although they came in alone one by one, but the two sides seemed to be scolding the street in the air.
Some people on the front foot said that now there are more music festivals, and there are more platforms and opportunities for display.
Another person on the back foot said that most music festivals now are just to deceive the audience to buy tickets, the lighting can't keep up, the sound can't keep up, and the audience experience can't keep up, just to make money and kill the Chinese people's mood for rock and roll.
Some people say that the national football team makes money, but do they play well? If you think about it, I am engaged in rock and roll to make money, I advise you to find a job as soon as possible, go to work honestly, this line of work is a kind of strength in your bones, and you must be energetic.
And then the next person said, I want every rock singer to be rich, millionaire, billionaire, so that more young people will say, I want to be a rock singer.
Some people say that to rock 'n' roll, you must at least ensure that you survive and survive.
Some people also say that the biggest problem now is that the people in the circle have an idea, survive, whatever, survive, but do you want cockroaches to survive, can cockroaches have thoughts?
Lu Chengkang can't say that any of these people are wrong, what they say seems to make sense, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that they are too one-sided and too subjective.
And Zhang Jinfan is on another level, he can choose himself and look at the problem from an objective perspective.
Zhang Jinfan was silent for a few minutes before continuing to look at the camera and said: "I think a good ear is that you can listen to rock and roll, you can also listen to the piano, and then taste a piece of opera, so how rich our ears are." ”
"Didn't you say that like a child, I love hamburgers, and mom you buy me burgers. One day the child will grow up, he will be willing to eat something else, when they start to think about life, about society, I hope that rock and roll, folk songs, these so-called niche things, can give them some spiritual strength. ”
Hearing this, Lu Chengkang glanced at his own Nizi.
Lu Jiajia, who was innocently lying on the gun, rolled her eyes and felt speechless.
What she thought to herself was, what are these people who are not too young to worry about?
Now is the era of self-media, you go to Beep Station to open a channel and shoot some vlogs, not only to talk about your spirit, but also to develop some young fans, and to make some money, isn't it fragrant?
It's just that the atmosphere has always been very solemn, and she didn't dare to say these words.
Zhang Jinfan did not see the interaction between the two.
He continued: "Of course, this has to expand the aesthetic on its own. If we point to the person who is eating the burger and say, "What are you eating?" then that's prejudice, it's a very wrong thing. ”
"So I think that the so-called commercialization of rock 'n' roll, it's not a matter of a certain point, it's a big thing, and it needs to be worked together by all parties."
"I believe that one day, it will go hand in hand with mainstream music, but I hope that the process will be gradual and not impetuous and pulling."
"So aren't you impetuous?"
Lu Chengkang was a little disdainful of his old friend's words.
Lou Santou seven, the 30th concert was held as scheduled, and what to say step by step.
Soul home? What about Nyima's eggs? Of course, this is a nasty word, and it is not interesting to pick it up.
Zhang Jinfan shook his head and didn't say anything more, just got up and signaled that he was done.
So Lu Chengkang also got up, shook hands with him very formally, and sent him out of the house.
Everyone is an adult and has their own independent thinking.
At this point, except for Qin Qingguo, all the people in this room have said their opinions.
Lu Chengkang looked at Qin Qingguo.
Qin Qingguo crossed his feet and held a cigarette, indicating that he had nothing to say.
Lu Chengkang was not reluctant, he turned back to Lu Jiajia and said, "Nizi, let's go back." ”
He spent more than two hours listening to the opinions of the room, and then suddenly he didn't want to stay here.
He felt that these people were blindfolded by something, or they were all pretending to be deaf and dumb, which was not interesting.
And to condolence this kind of thing, as long as the heart arrives, there is no need to offer a flower, and then say two words of condolence to the family, it is considered to have come.
Lu Jiajia followed the second uncle out of the room and looked at the "alternative" posthumous picture in the mourning hall.
It was a full-body photo, and from the angle of view, the person taking the picture was squatting and looking up from the side.
The person in the photo is smiling brightly, his long hair is flying in the wind, and his hands are open to embrace the sky, as if waiting for the wind to come.
The curly-haired woman who was leaning against the door smoking a cigarette before said to Lu Jiajia: "This is what he took after recording "Qilin". ”
During the two-hour "interview", Lu Jiajia was very impressed by this woman named Luo Shan.
Not because she's the only woman.
It's the other people in the room, all talking about their opinions and ideas, only she said her own thing, and then apologized to the camera.
In '97, she had a sudden attack on drugs at the airport, got into a taxi, and asked the driver to take her to buy drugs like crazy, and then the driver took her to the police station.
This is the first drug addict to be exposed in the domestic entertainment industry, from the rock circle.
More than 20 years have passed, and the first female voice of domestic rock has experienced drug rehabilitation, re-forming a band, disbanding the band, and getting married.
Now she is the mother of a child.
Luo Shan smiled at Lu Chengkang and said, "My husband is also a director, so I have the opportunity for you to work together." ”
Her husband is French.
She currently lives in France, returning to China to attend a concert in the memorial of Lou San.
"I'm curious, who called you back?" Lu Chengkang suddenly asked, "Is it Jin Fan?" ”
Luo Shan was a little surprised by Lu Chengkang's question, but still said: "It was Zhang Renpei, the person in charge of Huashi Mainland Company, who contacted me, and I talked to him twice, and I felt that this person was quite thoughtful and emotional. ”
She said, gesturing, "He played a big role in bringing us together." ”
Lu Chengkang's footsteps walking out stopped.
Zhang Renpei knew that the "new folk song revival trend" in Wan Chai was pushed by him, but he didn't expect to come to the mainland now.
Luo Shan said that this person has a lot of thoughts and feelings, but from another point of view, Lu Chengkang feels that he is more like a businessman or a trader.
Lu Chengkang has seen a lot of this kind of person, and a moment ago you thought that he was like-minded with you, and everyone spoke together side by side.
Then all of a sudden, he turned around and shook hands with the main theme.
Eventually, you find out that this person is no longer known to you in a split second, and he has become a "boss".
Luo Shan saw that Lu Chengkang was interested in this matter, so he continued: "It is said that at the beginning, the concert of 'Qin Chuan' was talked to by him and San, and after the three accidents, he also helped arrange the follow-up treatment, oh, by the way, it seems that Huashi has made a big move." ”
Lu Chengkang frowned: "What do you say?" ”
Although he knows a lot of people, after all, he is in the director's circle, and no one has really told him about it.
Roshan lit a cigarette, "They have come into contact with a lot of bands in the circle, but they don't seem to have done it well, they think that the important thing for a band is only the lead singer, and they are only willing to give the lead singer a contract, and they are not willing to sign the musicians together." ”
Lu Chengkang looked back at the flowers in the mourning hall and said, "It's not that they didn't do it well, it's that you have to cooperate with them." ”
This is a dance of art and capital, and if you want to go on stage, you must at least take off your boots that will hurt people.
I believe that one day, it will go hand in hand with mainstream music, but I hope that the process will be gradual rather than impetuous tugging.
Lu Chengkang understood the meaning of Zhang Jinfan's words, and it turned out that he had thought about it from the beginning.
This is not at all what he thought at first, these people in the circle want to use Lou San's funeral to promote the commercialization of rock and roll.
Instead, some outsiders used Lou San's death as a chessboard or a ladder.
From this point of view, Zhang Jinfan and Qin Qingguo, who are barely half capital, have also seen through it, but they can't say it.
So there are people here who are also making efforts.
It's just that now Zhang Renpei of Huashi is on one side, and I don't know who the person who ended up on this side is.
