Chapter 288: Campus Ballads

Since the 80s, Guangzhou has been the birthplace of Chinese pop music, which set off the heyday of China's record industry and achieved the first batch of pop singers.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the eighties and nineties, more than 90% of the country's audio-visual distribution market was occupied by companies in Guangzhou, and a large number of well-known singers of Chinese pop music at this time were also concentrated in Guangzhou.

Jiang Xun finally got a commission of five cents, five cents per box, that is, for every two boxes of tapes sold, he could get one dollar.

"Xunzi, this is more profitable than you filming." After negotiating the right thing, Wu Jianbang breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's also more profitable than you make TV." Jiang Xun said with a smile. Both of them laughed, "You're not afraid of losing money?" Jiang Xun asked again.

This, it really made Wu Jianbang chuckle in his heart, but he immediately laughed, "You don't understand this, you have to pack it." ”

The music market also pays attention to the right time, place and people, and the first large-scale "star-making" of the Chinese pop music scene also started from Guangzhou, the birthplace of pop music.

When the concept of "TV" did not exist in the mainland, record companies in Guangzhou began to use video tapes to promote singers.

At the annual order fair, when other record companies only provide auditions, the sound and colorful music videos suddenly catch the attention of the merchants, and this kind of music promotion method can be described as unique.

……

The recording in the studio went smoothly, and Chen Xiaoqi personally handled this aspect. Wu Jianbang prepares for the shooting of V.

"Ah Xun, your music style, how do we define it?" Such a straightforward and soothing style of music makes Chen Xiaoqi difficult, not rock, not the northwest wind, not the Beijing-style drum, and not the Jiangnan song.

Fresh, like the woods after rain, quiet, and the smell of herbs.

"Let's call it a campus ballad, the ...... that our college students sing to college students," Jiang Xun said with a smile.

"Campus ballads?" Chen Xiaoqi was silent, he thought about it for a long time, and there was really no more appropriate name than these four words, these four words seemed to be poetic, coming from the hazy youth.

"Okay, it's called a campus ballad." Chen Xiaoqi immediately made a decision, he personally brought coffee to Jiang Xun, and touched the cup with Wu Jianbang and the three of them, and used it as a substitute for coffee.

"Ah Xun, you are the pioneer of campus folk songs......" Wu Jianbang put a high hat on Jiang Xun.

But the hat is not good-looking, or Chen Xiaoqi is affordable, he looked at the manuscript in his hand, "I wrote a song this year, which is different from your campus ballad, but I feel that you can sing ......"

Oh, what song?

Jiang Xun took the manuscript and only glanced at it, and he knew that this was the song "The Sound of the Waves Remains" that was circulated in later generations.

Take away a fishing fire, let it warm my eyes, leave a true feeling, let it anchor by the maple bridge, helpless, I have alienated that emotion, many years later, I found out, back in front of you......

The creation of "The Sound of the Waves Remains" was inspired by the Tang poem "Fengqiao Night Park".

Chen Xiaoqi thinks that the sorrow described in "Fengqiao Night Park" may be nostalgia or other sorrows, so he adds love to it.

"I wrote the lyrics first, and it took me three months to compose the music." It can be seen that Chen Xiaoqi cherishes this song very much.

Well, "The Sound of the Waves Remains" has been sung for a long time since its inception and has become a classic work in the pop music scene in Chinese mainland.

Although it is a popular song, it skillfully uses Tang poetry and has the charm of classical poetry, and when the heart-wrenching lyrics sound, it will always remind the listener of Zhang Ji's "Fengqiao Night Park".

"Master Xiaoqi, I sang." Jiang Xun stretched out his hand.

Chen Xiaoqi is very happy, Jiang Xun's voice and appearance are good, and he will add color to this song.

Wu Jianbang is even happier, and Punch Records now regards Jiang Xun as the biggest cash cow.

The popularity of Guangzhou singers, in addition to their looks and good songs, the most important thing is "packaging".

Guangzhou is the first region in China to implement the contracted singer system, borrowing from the packaging model of Hong Kong and Taiwan, tailoring songs according to the characteristics of singers, and then launching them to the market after careful planning

Now, he wants to pack Jiang Xun well.

Shooting V is part of the package, and at the request of Jiang Xun, the shooting was carried out at Jida.

Wu Jianbang didn't look for a local girl, "This girl is from Peking University of International Business and Economics, and she has taken a few advertisements for me, and I feel that her temperament is very good......"

Oh, Jiang Xun nodded, "What's this girl's name?" ”

"It's a girl on the grassland, Senjidema ......" Wu Jianbang smiled, "Well, she's almost there......"

Jiang Xun looked at the script silently, he was very familiar with Wu Jianbang, and he also had a tacit understanding with each other.

"Director......" A tranquil director came into his ears, and Jiang Xun couldn't help but raise his head.

The sun shines in through the window, it is very dazzling, and in the dazzling light, a girl in a white dress is shrouded in the sun.

Jiang Xun slowly stood up, he put his hand in front of his eyebrows, and looked at the girl in front of him carefully, Wu Jianbang introduced with a smile, and when Jiang Xun held the slender hand, he smiled.

"Are you Yongmei?"

This is her Chinese name, but her temperament is as tranquil as a chrysanthemum, swaying in the breeze.

Well, they are all dressed in white, walking on the green campus, this year's midsummer, the fruits of midsummer are very fragrant......

"You, who are at the same table, I have heard it, and everyone in our dormitory can sing it." In between shooting, Yongmei and Jiang Xun sat side by side on the campus bench, the wind blowing the green leaves, and the sound was loud.

Jiang Xun smiled and handed Yongmei a drink with a smile.

At this time, sitting on campus is carefree and very comfortable.

Yongmei took it, turned sideways, and looked at Jiang Xun affectionately......

She really didn't expect to see Jiang Xun in Guangzhou, and she became the heroine of V.

This is the dream of many girls in Beiping, but this dream has come true today.

"I'm not dreaming...... "Yongmei stroked her long hair.

"Isn't youth just a dream?" Jiang Xun's gaze went over her head and looked into the distance.

"Shoot, snap!"

Jiang Xun's state is also too good, this confused and heartwarming gaze, which little girl can stand it?

is really worthy of being a Plum Blossom Award-winning actor! Wu Jianbang boasted fiercely in his heart.

The wind blew, Yongmei's long hair floated by, the state of the two was too natural, such a good shot, Wu Jianbang didn't want to miss it.

"I guarantee that the circulation will exceed one million." Looking at Chen Xiaoqi looking at the monitor, Wu Jianbang swore an oath.

With sales of 1 million copies, it will definitely set a record for the annual sales of domestic singers' albums! It will definitely be the first place in the Southern Audiovisual Ordering Fair!

He looked at Jiang Xun again, but Jiang Xun had already stood up, and in front of him, it seemed that an old man was coming......

Teacher Lin Xi of Jinan University was waving to him......

……

Jiang Xun will return to Beiping tomorrow, and Yongmei will go back together.

The night before leaving, he decided to take a look at Chen Xiaoyi, commonly known as Tanban.

When he saw Chen Xiaoyi wearing blue overalls, Jiang Xun almost smiled, blue overalls, yellow shirt, more soil.

"Is this your classmate?" Yongmei looked at the group of migrant girls in front of her, and couldn't tell who was an actor and who was a real worker.
