Li Jinglin understands the senior's concerns very well.
Parental matters
It is indeed troublesome and difficult to deal with, and it has always existed after so many years.
However, Li Jinglin must support such an attempt.
No matter what the parents think.
The objective fact is that with the update of the Internet and electronic technology, the market for games is bound to exist.
If you don't occupy it, others will, and you will become even more passive at that time.
Games are one of the largest cultural carriers in the Internet age and one of the most important means of publicity.
then.
After chatting with Zhao Mingya for a few words, the time for the next interview was determined.
Three days later.
In a small teahouse.
A series of small "private meetings" were held.
In addition to Li Jinglin and Zhao Mingya, there is also an old professor.
Guqin artist Professor Song Liguang.
When they met, Li Jinglin's attitude was very respectful.
He bowed and shook hands with Mr. Song.
"Hello, Mr. Song."
"Hello."
Professor Song smiled kindly.
"Li Xiaoyou, the youngest and most powerful genius in the Chinese music industry, finally has the opportunity to meet him."
"Mr. Song, you are overly complimentary."
After respectfully asking Professor Song to sit down first, Zhao Mingya and Li Jinglin sat down one on the left and one on the right.
After the tea was served, the door of the box was closed.
The teahouse is not luxurious, but the environment is quite good. Many people nearby are willing to come here to discuss business.
After brewing a pot of Nanjing Dangui, I didn’t get straight to the point right away.
"This tea was carefully selected and bred by the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences from the offspring of the natural hybridization of Wuyi Mountain cinnamon. It is a very good Southern Fujian oolong tea."
Mr. Song chuckled, and his hand movements were neither hasty nor slow.
Li Jinglin didn't understand tea, but looking at Mr. Song's actions, he felt that Mr. Song must know tea very well.
The old Song in front of me.
He is a very famous and hardcore conservative in the music industry.
Almost most conservatives follow Song Lao Ma's lead.
To convince him is to convince the conservatives.
"Mr. Song, I actually don't understand tea. I only drink it happily. I don't understand the price. For people like me who don't understand tea culture, good tea is good tea."
Li Jinglin smiled slightly.
"Of course, the prerequisite is that this thing must be tea. People who know tea should take the initiative to share something, instead of letting unscrupulous tea merchants use the gimmick of real famous tea to pass off quality."
Zhao Mingya raised her eyebrows slightly.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Li Jinglin has really grown up and started talking in circles.
After the two sat down, this initial confrontation
It's about sharing your own opinions.
Mr. Song ordered this kind of tea, and what he meant by those words was obviously "the development of music cannot be impatient, and attempts in any direction should be allowed to take its course as much as possible".
This is what conservatives think too.
However, Li Jinglin did not directly respond to Mr. Song's statement, but took a different approach and said:
[Experts may appreciate the quality of music content, ideas, music theory, and philosophy, but as the largest audience group, their sense of music and art is just their senses, and good tea is nothing more than good-tasting tea. 】
[On this basis, it is more necessary for real artists to integrate into young entertainment, so as not to be led by monsters "in the name of art" to bend laymen's understanding of music and art. 】
Mr. Song raised his head slightly.
He glanced at Li Jinglin in surprise, and then laughed.
This kid wants to tell himself
It is certainly necessary to view the content from an insider's perspective, but sometimes it is also necessary to view the work from the audience's perspective.
"Haha, what you said makes sense."
Mr. Song smiled kindly and was unwilling to make any more detours.
"Then today, let's talk about this game music."
Li Jinglin nodded.
Although Mr. Song is very old-fashioned and one of the biggest conservatives.
But it doesn't mean that Mr. Song is an ignorant and bad person.
on the contrary.
Song Lao played a great role in promoting the Chinese guqin art.
At that time, it was Mr. Song who followed in the footsteps of his teacher and traveled all over the country to observe, study and record the guqin art of various schools.
Finally, he mastered it and made a great contribution to the inheritance of Guqin in modern times.
He is a truly respectable and practical artist.
"In fact, there must be game music, and there will definitely be it. You young people, you really should have your own stage. My old man, I have no objection to this."
Mr. Song smiled slightly.
Put down the tea cup.
Sighed.
"But if we old guys also get involved and do marketing, then"
The words were not fully spoken, but both of them understood.
There is absolutely no problem for musicians to participate in game music, bind culture with games, and export culture.
The problem is that.
To promote this thing, we need to market it on a large scale.
The main focus is a collaboration between "young entertainment" and "real artists".
Make artists more grounded.
Make popular entertainment more sophisticated.
Only by creating such a sense of contrast and allowing more truly skilled seniors to enter the field of vision of young people can culture and beauty be conveyed to young people in the form of games.
Otherwise, shouting slogans is just a formality.
That's the same as not doing it.
But once the publicity and marketing starts.
Correspondingly, there may be some criticism and rhythm.
What Li Jinglin wants is to get the "national team" off the field quickly and integrate it into the entertainment industry.
And there is a hint of conservatives headed by Mr. Song.
What I want to do is follow the natural development of music, and don't actively promote this matter to avoid causing bad feedback.
The purpose is the same.
Cognition is the same.
We all know that this is the future development trend.
It’s just that one thinks it’s necessary to “cut the knot quickly” and the other thinks it’s necessary to “get it done slowly”.
"There is no time, I can't wait any longer, Mr. Song."
Li Jinglin shook his head with a wry smile.
If we only look at internal issues, then developing slowly is the best and safest option.
But now the question is.
There isn't that much time.
“The traffic era has destroyed normal music progress and aesthetic progress, and now global aesthetics are being degraded.”
Li Jinglin sighed.
"Don't stop eating because of choking. If you still worry about this or that, children who grow up in an environment with distorted aesthetics will no longer be wise in the future."
Mr. Song frowned slightly.
Li Jinglin uses words very neatly.
"Aesthetic distortion", not "low-level aesthetics".
The problem now is not aesthetic inferiority, but aesthetic distortion.
"Art serves different classes. Whether it is high-level art or low-level art, neither one is bad. Each has its own application and serves different people. This depends on the level of knowledge and psychology. What I’m talking about is the wisdom of superiority and inferiority.”
Li Jinglin frowned.
Continue talking.
“But the problem now is not a dispute between high art and low art, but the absence of art.”
"It is not a dispute between high knowledge and low knowledge, but a direct reduction of intelligence and anti-intelligence."
Li Jinglin's words made Mr. Song frown.
Cognition of the current young entertainment group
It is indeed insufficient.
It’s not that we are out of touch with the masses, but at least we are out of touch with the young masses.
Li Jinglin’s cryptic words.
In fact, I am talking about the older generation of artists led by Mr. Song.
With the rapid development of the times, people have poor ability to accept new things and poor attention.
It is difficult to adapt to the rapidly developing information age in a short period of time.
"Well, we old men are indeed a little behind the times."
Mr. Song smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He was not angry, but accepted the fact calmly.
In fact, Mr. Song has always believed that the future of the music world belongs to young people.
It's just like a grandpa is afraid that his grandson will run around and get hurt.
I always want to use my wisdom in this life to help future generations and make them safe and secure.
I'm just worried.
"Actually, I have really summarized a lot during this period."
Looking at the two of them.
Zhao Mingya smiled slightly.
He spoke slowly under the gaze of the two people.
"Our country pursues people's art, but due to the limitations of education and knowledge, the development route itself is to move from low-intelligence to high-intelligence. In terms of artistic development, we must also ensure that we have sufficient high-level artistic prerequisites. down, focusing on low-level art.”
If this sentence is spoken.
It's bound to cause quite a stir.
A group of anti-intellectual and ignorant people will start mindless refutations before they understand the academic definition of "low-level".
Academically speaking, high-level and low-level are not emotional and are only distinguished from many aspects of rational content such as logical framework, composition, and content.
Most of them describe the precision and complexity of the structure.
Among them, there is no good or bad distinction.
The wrench is simple, the production process is inferior, and the usage method is inferior, but does anyone look down upon the wrench? Is this derogatory?
Obviously it doesn't count.
The same is the engine.
There are definitely differences between aerospace engines and tractor engines.
But are they both good and bad engines?
No.
Although low-level art and high-level art are both arts and are academically superior, there is no distinction between them.
It's just a different purpose, that's all.
It is more derived from psychological concepts, the distinction between "high intelligence" and "low intelligence".
Just like pop songs and Beethoven, academically speaking, there is always a high level and a low level.
But this is only from the academic perspective of music.
The composition techniques of pop songs are very simple. Compared with classical music, the composition difficulty is not at the same level, and the musical knowledge contained is not equal at all, so they are distinguished by "high and low".
That's all.
Academically, there are also analyzes of the superior and inferior aspects of Water Margin and A Dream of Red Mansions, but that is only from the perspective of academic argumentation. It does not mean that the two books should be ranked higher or lower, nor does it mean that they have different statuses.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be called the Four Great Classics.
"The next development direction should obviously be with the expansion of education, from low-level art to high-level art that is more difficult to understand and with a higher knowledge threshold, and to start to improve aesthetics and upgrade from a perceptual and rational level."
simply put.
Aesthetics and art are like food needs and food.
When you are broke, your first priority is to have enough to eat.
Then, there’s meat.
Next, eat well.
Keep moving towards the ultimate goal - everyone can enjoy high-quality food.
"However, the expansion of economic and financial development has led to aesthetics not only not upgrading and developing, but also not staying still. Instead, it has been wildly downgraded and returned to the most primitive sensory desires. This is not a good thing."
Zhao Mingya's words made Li Jinglin start to nod.
simply put.
At that time, we were very poor, there was famine, and we couldn't even afford food.
Naturally, you have to eat enough first, then consider the nutrition of meat, eggs, milk and vegetables, and then consider the taste.
After the efforts of countless experts.
The diet of the common people has reached the level of "eating full", "eating meat" and "delicious".
Next.
We are working hard towards "high quality".
But a group of ghosts and monsters began to appear, despising food technology, criticizing the food industry, disrespecting the facts of development, and completely forgetting how much effort it took to go from eating enough, to eating meat, to eating well.
I just want to engage in original ecology and try to bring mankind back to the ancient era of "pure nature and no additives".
The big, round and red carrots are the result of decades of hard work by experts from the Agricultural College, just so that the public can eat good ones.
But there are some mentally retarded people who are praising some native, shabby-looking, bumpy, small potted carrots that make me shed tears just by looking at them.
This is the "aesthetic degradation" reflected in food.
People with low intelligence and position are often willing to regard themselves as high-ranking people and define "this is good, you have to appreciate it" in the form of commands. On the contrary, people with high intelligence and position are willing to regard the audience as the same people as themselves. Empathize with them and feel with them.
That's what's interesting.
In terms of artistic creation, people with high-level art and high-level aesthetics often have a low attitude, but low-level art and low-level aesthetics tend to have an extremely high attitude. This is the reason why "high-level" and "low-level" are given praise and blame.
The boss is exploring the boundaries.
But the little red guy started to cause trouble.
That's the problem with the music industry right now.
While the real big guys were exploring the boundaries of music, the middle-level people began to instill the so-called "artistic concepts" into the grassroots like a fake and a tiger, which caused the grassroots to be disgusted with "art" and resented the big guys.
Instead, these little red guys reaped a lot of benefits.
"So, in response to these problems, I feel that real artists must step aside quickly and focus once again on building a bridge between low-level art and high-level art to occupy some space."
Listen to Li Jinglin's words.
Mr. Song frowned, but couldn't help but nodded.
The meaning of the words is very simple.
To sum it up:
[Let the real bosses suffer all-round consequences, parachute directly into the entertainment and culture field of young people, follow the hobbies of young people, go for entertainment, and smash all the weird things that pretend to be gods and ghosts]
"Song Lao, compared with the development of the cultural line."
Li Jinglin took a sip of tea.
"This criticism is not worth mentioning!"
That is to say.
High art is about exploring boundaries, low art is about serving the public.
The functions of the two are different, just because the degree of academic complexity will distinguish "high and low", it does not mean the level of status or the superiority or inferiority. It is actually different from the so-called "artists".
It doesn’t mean that something that “caters to low tastes” must be low-level art, because that stuff doesn’t constitute art yet.
Low-level art is necessary and must exist.
Even vigorously developed.
And there must be a bridge between lower art and higher art.
Of course, low-level taste does not mean low-level aesthetics, and the two are not the same definition.
Low-level aesthetics is just a level of cognition based on knowledge. This does not have any derogatory or positive connotations. It is probably that everyone has low-level aesthetics and high-level aesthetics. It’s just that there are specialties in the art industry, so the aesthetics displayed in different fields Perception is also different.
And low-level taste refers to superficial sensual desires.
