Zhu: Are you from Yingkou? I heard that you have been infatuated with a few yuan erhu since you were six years old. But your mother makes violins? Why did you learn to play the erhu instead of the violin? Did you answer your sentence "I can't be like others"?
Guest: Yes, "I can't be like others."
Zhu: "I have always pursued being different." I remember that you were transferred to the Air Administration Song and Dance Troupe on 1985. Are you under pressure?
Zhu: The popular songs in the early 1980s and the mid-term "Loess Plateau" and "Journey to the Sky" rolled up the northwest wind and flourished. How do people in society seek their own creative style in idolization and following the trend? . Did the prevalence of pop music and northwest wind at that time attract and impact your creation? Is there a specific goal?
Guest: At that time, some similar works were created, but none of them were circulated. I realized it in a very distressed state, but I didn't have a clear goal and still cared about meditation.
So how did the consciousness of creating this kind of Peking Opera with Beijing accent and Beijing rhyme germinate?
Guest: I met Liu Lei, the editor of China Record Club, when I changed the name of Peking Opera for my friend's band. She casually said, "Yao Ming, you are so familiar with Peking Opera. Can you write a song with the repertoire of Beijing Opera? " My heart thumped at that time. Back to the group, I immediately went to see Mr. Yan Su and asked him to write about Beijing. There are many people singing about Beijing. Can we make a new breakthrough? Can you surpass the previous classics? The serious teacher objected, and I said, "Just write about Beijing, write about Beijing's humanities, and I want to compose music with the tunes of Beijing Opera." The serious teacher felt very fresh after listening to it. After a night of deliberation, he handed me the lyrics of My hometown is Beijing the next day.
Zhu: When I got the lyrics, what kind of banqiang was used as music material in Beijing Opera? How did the first sentence come out? (Take singing as an example) What is the initial reaction after writing the same song thinking and means?
Customer: When the actress An Dong sang for the first time in the studio, all the people present were so excited that they declared themselves great.
Zhu: In other words, a new form of "opera songs" between songs and operas was born.
Was later sung by Li Guyi?
Guest: 1988 Before New Year's Day, Teacher Yan Su asked for a soundtrack and recommended it to Yuan, director of CCTV's New Year's Eve party. Because of his sensitivity to Beijing opera, unforgettable 1988 was recognized by him. When Li Guyi dedicated Beijing dialect and Beijing flavor to hundreds of millions of TV viewers with his sweet voice, it quickly became popular in China.
Zhu: This work has become a milestone in China's music scene. "Beijing is my hometown" made you famous overnight and became the pioneer of traditional Chinese opera.
Thank you very much, Mr Liu Lei, for hitting the nail on the head.
Zhu: Good works come from composers and singers, but composers are not necessarily famous?
Guest: (for example) 1. Conversations and jokes with Li Guyi; What happened on the train leaving the army.
Zhu: The audience only recognizes the psychological balance of the actor but not the author, Mom?
Guest: when I am unbalanced, I will laugh at myself: "from a distance, I am a big pier;" Looking closely, I am haunted; From a close distance, I am a composer. "
Zhu: A few years ago, I heard that your business card said "Musical wage earners" on the front and a limerick on the back.
Guest: Yes. "Five elements of tadpoles, big Lu plus Ling Huang, elegant, but actually poor."
Zhu: It should be said that you have found a new path, which is unique. Finding the foothold of feeling and creation, works came out one after another, and works such as Qianmen Love Big Bowl of Tea and Singing Face were published one after another, which won wide attention from the music industry?
Zhu: Your work is also difficult to understand. However, in your works, the northeast people have a deep attachment to Beijing folk culture?
Guest: The Beijing composer joked: Speaking of our works, how can we ask our Northeast brothers to give us a plate?
Zhu: It should be said that the innovation of opera songs has attracted the attention of the national music and opera circles. It was once mixed, but it became more and more popular. Now these works have become teaching materials in art colleges. Right in the middle of the sentence, "Success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He." I know that you have created many other works besides operas over the years?
Guest: The art song "The Great Yellow River"; Film and television drama: The Journey to the West's lyrics; Movie: lyrics of "the length of a hometown"; Xiaojing Hutong and Zhu Yuanzhang; Spring Festival Evening: Dance music, drunken drums, Huang Doudou dance, etc. Zhao Benshan's essay "Red Sorghum Model Union" won the first prize for writing, performance and composition. Peach and Plum Cup and Mother River. I call you mom! , Golden Bell Award, etc.
Zhu: If Yao Ming has an indissoluble complex about Beijing, then he has a special liking for his hometown in Northeast China. Did you compose the music in Zhao Benshan's sketch "Red Sorghum Motorcycle Team" a few years ago? I can also feel the fiery and unrestrained character of the Northeast people. There are also music and songs from Zhao Benshan's TV series "The King of a Country".
Zhu: The art song "Yellow River"? There are four cs. Li Shuangjiang, president of PLA Art College, joked: My students can't sing "Yellow River Talk" and can't graduate. "Yao Ming made my tenor steel cannon!
Zhu: in recent years, there are not only songs and parties, but also some TV dramas?
As a sequel to Journey to the West, your lyrics "Tian Tong Avenue is Wide and Wide" became the most watched program in China. Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiaojing Hutong, Dashilan, Baiwei Life, etc.
Zhu: What is the indissoluble bond between erhu and your future creation? At that time, there were more than 20 songs closely related to Beijingers at the Spring Festival Gala of "Beijing dialect and Beijing rhyme" held by Beijing TV Station 1990. Yao Ming composed 65,438+00 songs, such as Singing Face, roasted sweet potatoes and Siheyuan. These songs are Beijing Opera, with modern rhythm and historical flavor.
Zhu: That hearty, chic and beautiful Peking Opera song still lingers in our hearts. It tells the local customs of Beijing, promotes the quintessence of Chinese culture, and also expresses the stubborn feelings of the northeast people in Yao Ming. Ok, that's all for today's program. Thank you for watching! Thank you too, Miss Yao Ming! Audience friends, enjoy music and tell stories. Let's meet again next week!
