"People spend a lot of money to poach employees, so they don't care about the compensation. When we receive a resignation report from one or two people, the other party has even made arrangements for their families. Our group is very defensive!"
Bao Qiming's frustrations don't stop there. They, who are nominally music celebrities, are actually hanging around in national-level units and earning dead wages.
The number of overseas performances has decreased, and the opportunities for earning extra money have become less and less. For this kind of profession, the employment opportunities outside are extremely narrow. It seems that going out is the only way to change the current situation of survival.
"I personally think that self-protection cannot always rely on being complacent. Once you have good works, you should take the initiative to go out and let other bands envy your band's strength and actively defect to you. Wouldn't it naturally resolve the crisis of frequent poaching? "
There is nothing taboo about, Liu Qingshan bluntly expressed his views.
"Not to mention the leaders of the department, even I, the troupe leader, understand this. But there is a lack of good works! There are only so many famous songs in the world. Which symphony orchestra doesn't have a few of them? Can our troupe receive foreign performances? Isn’t it because of a few songs by a few old members? But the freshness has passed, and foreign orchestras have obtained permission to perform through music exchanges, so our group doesn’t have much to worry about!"
Liu Chengyi, another deputy in the regiment, couldn't help but speak at this time: "I keep turning over and over again those original pieces. Classic masterpieces like "Ode to the Yellow River" are not so easy to create! Looking at us People of this generation are getting older, they are no longer capable, and they cannot keep up with their creativity. Even when they take their own members out to participate in certain activities, they will get some overt and covert looks!"
In fact, Liu Chengyi's actual age is not very old. He is in his prime career in his forties, but his appearance is prematurely aging, and he is actually bald at this age.
However, this person's reputation in the international music scene is even greater than that of the leader Bao Qiming. For example, he mentioned that China's top symphony work "Ode to the Yellow River" was one of the main creators back then, but he was still He has not officially started his career, and has always refused to acknowledge his role in it.
Liu Qingshan had already made a plan before he arrived, and he took the opportunity to speak out: "Three teachers, have you ever thought about adding electronic music effects to the traditional symphony? With all due respect, sticking to the same old routine and not forging ahead with something new It’s only a matter of time before the music style is eliminated by the market!”
"Add electronic sound effects? This is not a new idea. Someone has tried it before, and it will be despised by some traditional bands!"
Bao Qiming was stunned when he heard this, and the look in his eyes showed that he was a little disappointed.
"I understand what you mean. A large-scale performance at the national level, a magnificent music hall, and a few electronic music DJs covered with tattoos on the stage of a band of hundreds of people are indeed a bit out of line! But we might as well Run it another way, such as using the improved masterpiece as a dubbing film for a Hollywood blockbuster."
Liu Qingshan was not surprised by the other party's attitude.
"Hey, that makes sense, go on!" Not only Bao Qiming, but the other two people couldn't help but straighten their bodies and listen.
"As long as a piece of music becomes popular along with the movie, it will be easily accepted to be performed in the auditorium, but the premise is that the original work has an influential publicity channel."
"Are you capable of composing a similar piece of music?"
"As a junior, let me tell you the truth, maybe you don't like to listen very much! I personally think that a symphony is nothing more than a type of instrumental music, a large-scale suite containing multiple movements played by an orchestra. As long as the framework of the main melody The positioning is accurate and it sounds grand enough. With the addition of various orchestral music, it is not difficult to create that epic musical effect!"
Seeing the three invited guests, they all half-closed their eyes and remained silent at this moment. Xing Wei on the side quickly spoke up to help Liu Qingshan explain: "Shan Zi's meaning sounds a bit arrogant, even a bit arrogant, but I dare to say The reason why he came out is because of his unique insights into abilities!”
Bao Qiming smiled and waved his attitude to express his attitude: "Xiaowei, don't be nervous. I know very well what abilities Mr. Liu has. I am not surprised at all that he can say such things. I wonder who else in the world can publish classic works repeatedly?" Never stop?"
Liu Qingshan turned sideways, looked at Fan Shengyang's position, raised his hand to gesture to him with the shape of the computer, and then said: "There is a song in my computer, which was originally intended to be used as a soundtrack for future movies! But because of all the The computer programming effects used only have some of the actual sound effects of the symphony, but it is finally beginning to take shape. Can you guys give it a listen first?"
His words were true. After the Punk Brothers bought him special electronic music equipment, he almost always carried it with him and used his spare time to record some famous songs for later generations.
By the time Fan Shengyang opened the relevant file, Liu Qingshan had already connected the computer to the loudspeaker and further explained: "It requires a female voice to sing. The current effect is only 30% of that of playing with a real orchestra, but it can generally be heard. The music is so exciting!"
The next thing he clicked to play was the famous epic pure music "Victory".
After a few simple-sounding piano melodies at the beginning, strong electronic drum beats and orchestral music suddenly sounded.
A majestic, shocking melody full of male hormones and heroic spirit, instantly made everyone's hair almost explode.
The impact is extremely strong, the aggressive melody progresses layer by layer, and the grand, epic, and iron-blooded style appears.
At a certain point, Liu Qingshan, who was holding a microphone, suddenly sang a female voice. The aura of killing with a sword became more and more shocking with passion, directly penetrating the deepest part of everyone's soul.
All the negative emotions were swept away at this moment, and his blood boiled as if he were witnessing a grand scene of defending his country.
All he wanted to do was follow the blare of charge and move forward without hesitation, even if countless people around him were falling.
It is more like a majestic and tragic farewell melody with the most picturesque feel. If you close your eyes, you will see a scene from a high point, overlooking the two armies fighting, the drums are beating in unison, the soldiers are charging into the battle, holding the will to die. A heroic scene of determination to win.
Especially in the part where the female voice sings, the most soul-stirring song penetrates everyone's soul, making them tremble with shock.
The whole song is very long, lasting seven or eight minutes. After the music is finished, the dull expression on everyone's face still remains.
Bao Qiming's voice sounded a little trembling at this time: "The domineering power of The Return of the King, the modern application of classical techniques, the soul-shaking masterpiece! Mr. Liu, you are a true music master!"
Naturally, he did not dare to accept such high praise. Liu Qingshan was very aware of the disadvantages of his age.
However, he didn't hide anything and told the reason for such a design.
"Compared with ordinary songs, pure music has great adaptability. That is, when you listen to a piece of pure music, you will hear different emotions depending on your mood. Victory is victory and can give people a sense of sensory images. The reason why I chose to express it in English is to reduce the initial reaction of Chinese people to the meaning of the word, and then get down to it and truly feel the auditory shock brought by this kind of pure music! Therefore, the naming is a bit of a coincidence. "
He did not directly address the common sense of impetuousness among ordinary Chinese people, rather than the fact that, like Westerners, the acceptable musical forms are wider.
This is not to deliberately belittle the low quality of the Chinese people, but the time for China to accept various forms of music is still short, less than 20 years.
Therefore, giving this type of music a foreign name is far more noble than the Chinese meaning of victory.
But this is just his superficial wording. The deeper meaning is that he does not want his original intention to be changed by external forces.
The main target market of this song "Victory" is still Hollywood. If it were replaced by the Chinese version of "Victory", its effect and influence would only be much worse.
"Just say it directly, there is a latent mentality of worshiping foreigners in our country! Now, unlike in the past, the country is more tolerant and open to folk language expression, and there is no need to be secretive. Especially in the music industry , it takes a long time for foreign monks to be able to chant sutras, I understand your intention!"
Bao Qiming did not say it out loud. In the early days of his debut, Liu Qingshan first chose to go overseas to get a layer of gold for a similar reason.
And the fact that he was able to make a popular debut in China quickly at such a young age has a lot to do with first becoming famous in Hollywood.
This kind of relationship is particularly effective in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, with Liu Qingshan's current rapid rise, he would have suffered a series of blows from his peers.
"Uncle Bao, Shanzi's worry is not unreasonable. There is a huge difference between similar expressions of personal thoughts expressed by you and by him himself, just because his qualifications are too shallow."
Although they both belong to the music circle, ordinary singers and pop musicians are still ignored in national music groups such as the National Symphony Orchestra.
This is closely related to the ancient sense of superiority of those who engage in serious music, and the phenomenon of seniority in this group is not much lower than that of the folk literati class or the traditional artist circle, or even worse.
Therefore, whether it is Liu Qingshan's self-justification or Xing Wei's echo, they are trying their best to avoid this kind of thing.
"Okay, I accept your reminder. To be honest, I originally planned to change the name of this song. From a national perspective, having a Chinese title can indeed highlight our country's own music creation ability. . But since you are so smart and point it out in a roundabout way without waiting for me to say something, I can only agree with it!"
This person has actually been misinterpreting Liu Qingshan's main intention, and he really believes some of his words.
"As for its copyright and usage rights, Uncle Bao, no, Captain Bao, should have some personal suggestions, right?"
This is Xing Wei's attack again. This person is very shrewd and immediately realized the great significance of this piece of music.
