Chapter 309: The Olive Branch Rushed to Hand
"Okay, what a good seedling...... Alas, it's a pity that he is now forty years old, can he still be considered a seedling?"
"Of course, teacher! You don't know how famous this singer is in our Xia country now, you have heard his voice just now, just like a person in his early thirties, and even you think it was sung by a girl's family when he sings in a playful voice!"
Liu Dehou hurriedly introduced Jiang Kan's body to the teacher, and also explained the songs that Jiang Kan had sung before, as well as the relevant information of "Xia Guo Good Singer" that he participated in this season.
"Good, good, good!"
After hearing this, the old man nodded heavily, and praised Jiang Kan three times in a row!
"This kid, this voice, was born in our era, I just fought for this old life, and I want to take him under the door and train him to become a world-famous Danjiao! Ahem......
Hearing the old man praise Jiang Kan like this, Liu Dehou's heart somehow unexpectedly rose with a strong sense of envy!
But hearing the teacher's cough, Liu Dehou hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand and stroked the old man's back to help him calm his breath.
"It is only when such an offspring emerges that our music art in the Xia Kingdom can make great progress, and it ...... Xiao Liu, Master, I'm very interested in his popular opera adaptation and singing method!"
As the old man spoke, his eyes flashed with essence.
"You have also felt how much effort and hardship you have suffered over the years to promote and carry forward our Peking Opera art......
"But let's talk more about the results, hehe...... If we talk behind closed doors, we don't think there will be much repercussions among the people, right?"
The old man picked up the cup, moistened his mouth slightly, and continued.
"Today's young people are all influenced by the West, or in other words, it is due to the influence of more and more popular and popular "modern" music styles, and our traditional culture and art are gradually declining, and the influence is not as good as day by day."
"I'm really afraid that one day, our generation will be gone, and the generation of middle-aged people like you who are willing to dedicate themselves to the traditional opera art will also be old, and no one in this Xia Kingdom will be willing to stand up and fight for our cause......
"Originally, in the face of this situation, not only our Yanjing opera, but also the various opera genres across the country, there is no such thing as a good way."
"But the song you gave me a new perspective and a new inspiration for me!"
The Xia Kingdom on this planet also has the same colorful folk opera art as the earth.
But in recent years, it has gradually declined with the erosion of popular culture.
Some of the older generation of opera artists are more flexible, and they have begun to think about how to modernize and improve these classical operas, so that they can rejuvenate and revitalize.
The specific method is to intercept a certain section of a specific opera as Hu Keqin sang "Night Soldiers on the Battlefield" before, and the lyrics are vernacular, and the song is popular.
That is, to make the lyrics easy to understand, so that the soundtrack becomes inclined to pop music, and there are no longer so many traditional percussion instruments such as drums, gongs, cymbals, bangzi, etc., which are too noisy and complicated, and then the proportion of melodic instruments such as Yueqin and Jinghu is lowered in the performance, and modern electronic organs, guitars, pianos or various composite instruments such as horns, sheng, and flutes are added.
It's a bit complicated to say, but that's the overall idea of adaptation.
But compared to the new direction of the development of opera art on the planet, the way to do so is a bit anachronistic and backward.
It will give people a kind of earthy but not foreign, want to be retro but have a strong modern atmosphere, want to be popular but still retain too many classic elements to lead to a situation that cannot be popular.
The new trend of theatrical music on the earth is a new form of music that is constructed with the main idea of "opera", and its main body does not emphasize "absolute tradition", but uses it
The lyrics of "like ancient" and "non-ancient" combine the classical elements of opera arrangement, and then use more female voices to sing the climax part of the "danjiao" to highlight the "opera" part.
In the rest of the song, the ordinary singing tone and popular vernacular lyrics are still used, and they rely more on the "ancient meaning", making the lyrics appear crepe and full of ancient style, not just the "antiquities" themselves like the lyrics in Peking Opera and Hui Opera.
Take the previous popular song "Guanshan Wine" as an example.
"Several years of wind and snow swept the blade, and the wind and the lonely day,"
"Look at the rocky places, generally rugged and thin......"
These lines are ordinary vernacular and ordinary singing, and the lyrics seem crepe and full of ancient style, but they are not really "ancient texts".
but
"I ordered wine from Guanshan, and it was in my throat for a thousand years,"
"There is also a boiling snow drink and a certain ...... wind and clouds"
It is a typical part of the opera, which highlights the feeling of "opera", but does not deviate from the sense of fashion, making the rhythm seem too old, refreshing the listener, and at the same time arousing their curiosity about "opera" itself.
In the same way, after listening to Jiang Kan's song "The New Concubine is Drunk", the old gentleman's thinking was also completely opened, and the film that had always been in his mind that could never be pierced became transparent!
"This is a new way to promote our opera art!"
Zhang Kuanhou has been an opera artist all his life, and he has always been a very flexible and open-minded person.
At this moment, he doesn't think Jiang Kan's approach is "deviant".
On the contrary, I feel that such songs and such "opera" singing methods will arouse the interest of some groups, especially young people, who are not interested in opera, so as to serve as an introduction, and gradually become interested in opera itself, and then begin to study and research.
Even if there are 100 or even 10 people out of 10,000 pseudo-opera lovers who like this kind of "opera" and really love Wu and Wu, and fall in love with traditional opera?
It's better than the current situation where there are not one or two people out of 10,000 who like it, right?
"Xiao Liu, I'm quite interested in this Jiang Kan, you see it like this...... When are you free, why don't you go to Rongcheng to visit him and talk to him about my thoughts? I'm a bad old man, and I'm not in good health, otherwise I should have taken the initiative to visit him...... Ahem......
The old man's eyes radiated a light called "hope", and the smile on his face was even brighter.
"No problem, teacher, when I am busy during this time, I will personally visit this Mr. Jiang in Rongcheng, and discuss with him the ideas and ideas for the creation of this kind of "opera" song, and strive to find a way for us to reach a long-term cooperation and better make greater contributions to the promotion and development of our opera art!"
Liu Dehou nodded heavily, reassuring his teacher, and his face was also filled with a happy smile.
"Jingle Bell~"
Jiang Kan, who had just returned home from work, was turning on the TV to watch a drama and relaxing, when the mobile phone on the table rang.
He picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, but found that it was Zhao Yu calling.
"Teacher Zhao? Haha, why did you remember to call me, is there something wrong?"
He turned off the TV and put his phone in external mode.
"Well, it's true, I want to ask if you can spare time in two days? Because I am the singer of the opening song of "The Legend of the New White Snake", some media plan to conduct an interview with me and take some tidbits of the recorded song. I just want you to be the author of this song, and let you go with me to the crew for an interview."
So that's the case?
A warm current flowed into Jiang Kan's heart, this Zhao Tianhou is really kind, the crew should have wanted to rub off on her diva's traffic to arrange this tidbit, but people immediately remembered to let themselves go with the interview to rub off on their popularity.
Who said that Zhao Tianhou is a cold person, this is not very enthusiastic!
「
Haha, since that's the case, you must be free, but have you mentioned this to the program team, wouldn't it be nice if I went directly?"
Although he is a newcomer, Jiang Kan, who has been immersed in this vanity fair for half a year, will definitely not miss this opportunity to promote himself.
But he was a little worried that if Zhao Yu took him on his own initiative, the program team would have opinions or embarrass himself.
"Hey, my Teacher Jiang, you don't go out to see, are you on fire now? has won the first place in three consecutive episodes of "Good Singer", how can the crew still have opinions? I don't know if it's you who they want to interview, I'm just an add-on!"
When Zhao Yu heard this, he was also laughed angrily, feeling that you, the champion who is currently very popular, really don't know how outrageous your reputation is among the people!
"Hey...... Teacher Zhao is really humorous, it's not like I'm touching your light...... That's okay, you can ask the assistant to send the schedule to my agent Zhang Lingling, and she will help me follow up. Well, okay, Mr. Zhao also have a good rest, it's been a hard few days, goodbye."
After saying goodbye to each other, Jiang Kan was half-lying on the back of the sofa, holding the mobile phone with the screen still lit in his hand.
"Hey, am I so popular now?"
After all, the previous decades of life and work have made Jiang Kan develop a habit of liking to squat at home, in current terms, he is a little "homely" and not extroverted.
Naturally, I don't know what level of love those netizens and the masses outside has reached.
Let's just put it this way, now he walks on the street, without a mask and sunglasses, at least in Rongcheng, he will definitely be recognized.
And there is a lot of chance that someone will be asked to sign autographs and take group photos.
But to say that diva-level superstars have to take the initiative to play with themselves......
"Hehe, on the one hand, it's because I saw the help I can bring her, after all, "Once in a Thousand Years" was given to her, and on the other hand, maybe it's because of Xiao Feiyan, after all, it's her aunt......
Thinking of this, Jiang Kan still had a headache, and he didn't know how to face the little girl's feelings for him, so he could only pretend not to know and treat it as a better friend.
It's been less than half a year since I divorced Xiaojuan, and it seems that it's a little early to talk about this.
"Jingle Bell~"
Half an hour later, his phone rang again, and it was Zhang Lingling.
"Hey, Brother Kan, you have a really big face!"
As soon as I answered, it was Zhang Lingling's energetic voice.
"People Zhao Tianhou took the initiative to invite you to rub his heat! You can make such a cold person take the initiative so much, and you are the only one for so many years!"
After all, as everyone knows, Zhao Yu is quite difficult to deal with, he has excellent talent, he was taught by famous teachers, graduated from a famous school, and his father is still the fat and iron buddy of the chairman of Feiyang Entertainment, who ranks among the top three in China......
So since her debut, it has been smooth all the way, which person who doesn't have long eyes has eaten a bear's heart and a leopard and dares to obstruct her road to fame?
I never have to look at anyone's face, and I don't have to worry about whether I am in the way of others.
Anyway, she can basically get what she wants, and the people she doesn't want to pay attention to can't interfere with her at all.
Didn't see Jiang Lili before?
So Niu Bi's first-line singer has also debuted for more than ten years, with a wide network and countless friends.
But in the face of Zhao Yu's competition, isn't it just how to be scolded in front of the camera? I didn't even hesitate to tear you apart.
Although Jiang Lili also resisted, but was not eliminated in the first round of the tour? There's no chance to fight back!
It can be seen that in this music circle, it still has to rely on strength to speak.
Zhao Yu can really be regarded as the eldest sister recognized as a queen in the entertainment industry.
Jiang Kan, who can be appreciated by such an eldest sister and take the initiative to invite, is really the first time Zhang Lingling has seen her for so many years
people.
"Her agent said that she had already contacted you directly and agreed, right?"
Zhao Yu called Jiang Kan directly, also because of her straightforward and heroic temperament, otherwise, according to the consistent rules of the entertainment industry, the agents of both parties contacted each other first, and then told the singer himself.
But Zhang Lingling didn't care about it, although as a woman who had a little affection for Jiang Kan, she did feel a little sour when she received a call from the other party's agent, but as a qualified agent, she quickly restrained this emotion and began to talk about things.
"Yes, I want to participate, after all, I can have some exposure, and secondly, I also watched the old version of "The Legend of the White Snake" back then, and I like this drama very much, and visiting the crew can also allow me to get close to the actors and see how they film."
Jiang Kan didn't hear Zhang Lingling's little emotion, but chatted with her happily.
"Okay, then I'll continue to communicate with her agent, it is expected that it should be the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can make preparations first."
After chatting for a while, the two sides hung up.
"Brother Kan has such a good external image and such a good popularity, Director Hu Zibin has another opportunity for him to participate in the movie, and this time he can visit the crew of the TV series "The Legend of the New White Snake......
After Zhang Lingling hung up the phone, she began to force herself not to think about whether there was something between Zhao Yu and Jiang Kan, and let herself think about it differently.
"Is this an opportunity for Brother Kan to also take the opportunity to change into an actor? Singing and acting, and it's good to make a cameo appearance as an actor once in a while!"
