Chapter 1478 Prejudice(1/2)

Yang Ming was also quite surprised when he soon learned from Minister Guo that the top officials of the government would provide certain conveniences to help promote the "Butterfly Lovers" movie and music.

This was a complete surprise.

When he first chose to film "Butterfly Lovers", he just wanted to thwart Zhao Jianfeng and the others, and also make them feel disgusted.

But he really didn't expect "Butterfly Lovers" to have such a big influence.

It actually made the top officials of the government decide to focus most of their resources on "Butterfly Lovers" and abandon the TV series of the same name co-produced by Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment.

But it makes sense when you think about it.

They are all movies and TV shows with Butterfly Lovers themes, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Yang Ming's "Butterfly Lovers" is not even close to the TV series produced by him.

This is without taking into account the influence of the violin concerto of the same name.

The National Symphony Orchestra's live performance at the National Grand Theater Concert Hall became an instant hit after it was broadcast live.

The whirlwind of Butterfly Lovers swept across East Asia.

Several countries have invited national symphony orchestras to perform in their respective countries, and the conditions and benefits are quite generous.

It brought a smile to the face of old regiment leader Qin.

At his age, he has long looked down on the struggle for interests.

Now he just wants to leave something of his own in the history of the symphony orchestra, which is enough.

The "Butterfly Lovers" Violin Concerto composed by Yang Ming undoubtedly satisfied the wishes of the old leader Qin.

Although this classic piece was not composed by Mr. Qin himself, it will definitely make the National Symphony Orchestra's most significant mark on the road to the nationalization of symphony.

This is enough.

These days, old guys in the music industry call him frequently to congratulate him.

The National Symphony Orchestra has struck a treasure.

This song "Butterfly Lovers" is enough to keep the National Symphony Orchestra busy for ten years.

Captain Qin was in a happy mood and full of emotion.

He also didn't expect that he just wanted to help Yang Ming by arranging the orchestra to record Yang Ming, but who would have thought that this violin concerto composed by Yang Ming would bring such a big return?

Now let alone China, several countries in East Asia, after watching this live broadcast, have invited their national symphony orchestras to perform, enough to fill up their schedules for next year.

It can be seen that the song "Butterfly Lovers" has a huge influence.

Art knows no borders.

The same is true for music.

The popularity of "Butterfly Lovers" in East Asia has also attracted the attention of music circles in other countries around the world.

However, after listening carefully, they admitted that this was a very rare violin concerto, but it definitely did not reach the level reported by the national media in the East.

It's a bit exaggerated.

After this news comment was spread back to China, other East Asian countries took the lead in refuting this comment before the local music circle could respond.

"No matter when it comes, there will always be a cultural gap between the East and the West. Just like the Western classics are like heavenly scriptures to us, and the classics we are proud of are just playing the piano to them!" - "North Korea News"

》!

"Perhaps in terms of technique, "Butterfly Lovers" has not reached the heights that the Western world says, but emotionally, this is the musical holy book of our Eastern world. A poignant love legend that has been passed down for thousands of years, now perfectly interpreted with music, this

This first violin concerto is definitely one of the greatest breakthroughs in the history of modern Eastern music." - Japan Daily.

...

The two loyal brothers of China and the two largest media outlets in China have righteously refuted the views of the Western music industry in their respective news reports.

In their view, it's not that "Butterfly Lovers" is not a classic, but that the Western music circle doesn't understand it.

I don’t understand the origin of Butterfly Lovers.

The domestic media saw that the media from both countries seemed to be more excited than the parties involved, and they couldn't help it.

In other words, they are unwilling to lag behind.

No matter what, they can be regarded as Yang Ming's natal family.

Now if two outsiders stand up to support Yang Ming, they won't be laughed out of their colleagues in the world if word spreads!

Therefore, within a short period of time, several local media, including those large state-owned media, once again launched free advertising for "Butterfly Lovers".

Oriental Dream Factory.

Yang Ming was being interviewed in the office for a program of his own TV station Phoenix TV.

There was no other way, Wu Yuanzhi called several times, and he really couldn't refuse anymore.

After all, it is your own company.

It just so happened that he recently came across the fact that "Butterfly Lovers" was not well received internationally, and he felt the need to say something.

In the office, the staff were already ready. The lighting engineer gave a signal to the director, and the director nodded to indicate to the host that the interview was okay.

The host is Wang Qing, one of the leading hosts of Phoenix TV. She is mainly famous for her image as an intellectual beauty.

"Mr. Yang Ming, this is my first time interviewing you. I don't know how to call you better. Do you think I should call you boss or Director Yang?"

After saying this, Wang Qing took the lead and started laughing.

When Yang Ming heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle. He gave the host a thoughtful look.

But he knew that this was a little trick by the other party to liven up the atmosphere, so he didn't take it to heart.

From one aspect, it also shows that this host is really brave.

Dare to say anything.

Even my own big boss dares to tease me.

If you really want to call Big Boss Yang Ming what Wang Qing said, it would be reasonable and correct.

"It's better to call me Mr. Yang." Yang Ming smiled and shook his head and said easily.

Today he appears as a lyricist and composer. Whether he calls him the boss or Director Yang, it is not appropriate.

"Mr. Yang, "Butterfly Lovers", which you directed and acted in, has become popular in East Asia in recent times and has aroused strong responses among the vast number of movie fans. Especially the violin concerto you composed is still fresh in people's memory.

It has been called the natural sound of classical music by many well-known people, but this statement seems to have been criticized internationally in recent times. What do you think of this?"

Wang Qing did not hide anything and directly raised the core of today's interview.

The interview Yang Ming gave her was not long, so she asked the topic directly without delaying any time.

Hearing this sentence, Yang Ming had already expected it. He sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then said slowly and seriously: "When evaluating a piece of music, the melody is very important, but it is not decisive. Otherwise Bartok would have been dismissed."

Choked to death!"

Béla Viktor Janos Bartók, the great Hungarian composer.

After the death of this composer, he has become more and more respected in the Western music industry in modern times, and is considered a composer comparable to Beethoven in talent.

However, the composer's initial creative style was also not a style favored by the Western music industry. Instead, it was based on Hungarian folk music and blended with the mainstream style of Western music to form a new music style.

Therefore, when Yang Ming brings this person up now, he is mocking some people in the West who always look at people through colored glasses.

Since Bartok can be recognized, why can't "Butterfly Lovers" be recognized.

This is obviously caused by the cultural gap between East and West.

"In my opinion, "Butterfly Lovers" has a poignant and graceful story as the background. The music only needs to express this emotion reasonably. For Chinese people, this is a song that does not require any musical training to feel and move.

, a sentimental work, if I were to give you Mozart’s Fourth Violin Concerto and ask you to tell the story in it, it would probably be difficult for most people.”

Speaking of this, even Yang Ming himself couldn't help laughing.

After all, Wang Qing was not in the professional music circle. When Yang Ming mentioned Bartok, she didn't know what the purpose was. But now when Yang Ming mentioned Mozart, even if she didn't know much about music, she still listened to Mozart's name.

Passed.

When she heard what Yang Ming said now, she also smiled and gave Yang Ming a thumbs up in her heart. This big boss of hers was indeed not inferior to anyone else in terms of words.

"In terms of difficulty, it does not mean that the harder it is, the higher the achievement. Not to mention Bartok, a madman, there are many composition students who can write music that challenges the limits of performance, but their achievements and

Which one is better than Bach who used a few simple notes to create the sky? The results are self-evident."

"In fact, saying this is not to prove how great "Butterfly Lovers" is, but to let our people know that what the West likes is not necessarily what we like; similarly, what we like to listen to is not necessarily what they like.

’s favorite.”

"I created "Butterfly Lovers", and now if any Chinese person hears this music, he will immediately know that it is a piece of Chinese music. That is enough."

"It doesn't matter whether it's great or not, and it doesn't matter whether it's a classic or not. What's important is that it's a song that people can tell as soon as they hear it is telling a Chinese legend."

"I did not create this music for the world, but specifically for the nation!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Ming showed a determined expression on his face.

With memories of his past life, no one cares more about the great country complex that fills every cell than him.

The interview was very short, and then Wang Qing asked two or three more questions, and Yang Ming answered them all positively.
