Cai Xukun has become the king of rock and roll. Is it a distortion of the list or a loss of aesthetics?/Tuchong Creative

Popular music pierces the cultural undercurrents of our society with a sharp touch. It allows listeners to enjoy themselves while feeling melancholy. Between emotional reversals, bad money drives out good money, and fans bully ordinary listeners, thus creating a generation of young people who have no songs to listen to and can’t listen to songs.

Rock fans never expected that the hottest rock singer of 2019 would be Cai Xukun.

According to the Golden Tower Awards list, the top 1 favorite rock music of college students in 2019 is Cai Xukun’s "Rebirth", with a comprehensive score more than 30 points higher than the second-place New Pants Band.

The introduction to the Golden Tower Awards says it is "the most authoritative award in the Chinese campus market."

On the music charts that require fans to brush the charts, no one can shake the status of ikun (Cai Xukun’s fan name, homonym "Ai Kun") – even Jay Chou, the national idol, can barely match it.

In September, Jay Chou’s new song "Say Good Don’t Cry" maxed out the whole network, and as soon as it was online, it contracted nearly half of the hot searches on Weibo, and sold 2.88 million digital albums in just one hour.

But according to the latest "2019 China Data Music List", Cai Xukun’s EP sales in 2019 still far exceeded Jay Chou’s.

"The music market in 2019 is a win-win situation for the’Battle of Kunlun ‘." This sentence is not a good word for Jay Chou’s "Sunset Red Fans" or the ikuns who are struggling to win the rankings.

When Tengger is singing Wolf in Cantonese with Yang Mi, what other music is unacceptable?

All the quarrels between the needle and the wheat were silenced with the emergence of "Wolf Disco", a rap song that crossed the boundaries of earthy taste and literature, and was definitely a hit at the end of last year.

It has not only repeatedly topped the major music charts, but also appeared on the New Year’s Eve party of Hunan, Jiangsu, and Oriental in different forms this year.

The Internet Divine Comedy has once again become a brainwashing melody that we cannot avoid. Gyms, restaurants, bars… Every corner of the public place is urging us to draw rainbows on the left, dragons on the right, and Guo Fucheng on our chests; entering the virtual world, we receive all kinds of confusing "authoritative" music lists.

Mr. Zheng once described the current music charts as crap on the talk show "See You Tonight at Nine," but on the recent broadcast of "Roast," he said: "I have no right to judge music, because there is no music anymore."

The Tibetan Mastiff who refused to be docile seemed to be unable to do anything except not evaluate it./"Roast"

Even the former "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" Zheng Jun, who was so direct against major music platforms, could be said to be risking the world. After all, no one was willing to admit that his music taste was not good, and fans couldn’t accept that the songs he brushed out every day were defective music.

Everyone is forced to accept the cultural outcome of this business logic. Can this generation of young people really not listen to music? Or is it true that the Chinese people today have no songs to listen to?

Young people with no songs to listen to

It can be said that the "holy war" that fans brush the list originated from Wu Yifan.

In November 2018, Wu Yifan’s debut album "Antu" landed on the US iTunes music chart. Kris Wu, a slightly unfamiliar name to American netizens, overtook A sister Ariana Granda, Lady Gaga, Queen and others within a few days, representing American fans to exclude others from the top three.

Forbes reported that "Wu Yifan brought Chinese music to the West with a new album." Although this way of boosting popularity with money and yelling is not very glorious in hindsight, it at the time showed many fans at home and abroad the power of Chinese "bots" (water army) and made the world foresee the huge scale of the Chinese mainland music market.

The farce ended, and the results were cleared./@ifeng.com Dafeng

According to the "2019 China Digital Music Industry Research Report" released by iResearch, the size of China’s digital music market has reached 7.63 billion yuan in 2018, an increase of nearly 60% year-on-year.

The "2019 Global Music Industry Report" released by the International Federation of Phonographic Records IFPI shows that China has soared to seventh place in 2018 after entering the world’s top ten music markets for the first time in 2017.

Under the huge music market, there are many young people who have no songs to listen to.

According to the "2019Q3 Chinese Digital Music Industry Quarterly Report" released by your music chart, the largest proportion of popular songs in the Q3 quarter of 2019 was OST (film and television soundtrack).

As the saying goes, "Since ancient times, bad movies have produced good songs". Nowadays, there is no audience to watch good movies, and even good songs can only be collected from movies and TV dramas.

I watch dramas to listen to songs./"2019Q3 Chinese Digital Music Industry Quarterly Report"

In addition, the second most popular songs are from idol stars, accounting for 25% from 19%. In comparison, powerful singers and independent musicians are relatively weak.

Veteran powerful singers have chosen to reach the younger generation by singing OST songs. After many years of silence, singer Lin Zhixuan sang the theme song "Drunken Dream Past" of the anime "Master of the Devil Dao · Xianyun"; a melodious "Do You Know It or Not" made Hu Xia and Yu Kewei, two "old singers", return to the attention of fans.

Compared with male singers, the leading female solo singers in the Chinese market in 2019 are very scarce, with only 3% of the songs on the list becoming popular.

Among the leading female singers, Li Yuchun and Deng Ziqi are still the mainstays, and among the remaining female singers, nearly 50% are online rookies.

The slump in the Chinese music scene has almost become a recognized fact, but many young people who rely on film and television theme songs, new albums by idol singers, and online brainwashing divine songs to enrich their playlists will never admit that their musical aesthetics are inferior to others. Even if life is a mess, their musical taste is still perfect and invincible.

A few days ago, NetEase Cloud Music launched its 2019 annual personal summary report, and the circle of friends was immediately flooded with screenshots of various reports. It is rare for contemporary people to share their inner secrets so directly. Music has given us this opportunity.

Scholar *** once said: "Song playback, song ordering, song sharing comments, promotion, and learning to sing songs all reflect a kind of auditory egocentrism, which is a manifestation of narcissistic narration in the Internet age."

Under the general identity anxiety in society, people use pop music to reinvent their identity, and the significance of this load in songs exceeds the quality of the songs themselves, so that young people who "have no songs to listen to" no longer actively seek better music.

The draft "killed" Chinese pop

In June 2015, Mr. Wang Feng, who was deeply troubled by "making headlines", was completely angered by a candid photographer. He published an article through his studio titled "Without Wang Feng, the mainland music industry lost half of its country", stating that he had never cared that he could not make headlines. The article also posted various data reports to prove that without Wang Feng, mainland music would be "miserable" and "lost half of its country".

The name "Wang Banbi" came from this, becoming a label that Wang Feng could never tear off, but looking at the current domestic pop music scene, there is some truth to this.

The people who laughed at Wang Feng back then probably didn’t expect that they can’t wait to have a few more Wang Feng now./Tuchong Creative

Wang Xiaofeng, a music critic, once said that "one Wang Feng could rival all the rock singers in China." "Wang Feng understood how to take both rock and pop markets, and he was the first singer to let performers blur the concept of rock and pop."

As a "traitor in the eyes of rock listeners", Wang Feng’s way of fusing rock and pop is to become a mentor on "The Voice of China" and ask all the contestants who come to compete – "What is your dream?"

Since the birth of "The Voice of China", there has been a story group specially responsible for planning the stories of the contestants. The rock youth who once vowed to bloom in the rock industry has become the introduction to the sad and inspirational stories of the contestants in the talent show. I wonder if such a life experience can make his later singing career "fly higher".

"The music show is essentially a sign of the music depression," Mr. Li once said. "It’s ultimately a show, a trick." And this grand and long trick is about to kill the last breath of mainland pop music.

Wang Xiaofeng commented in his article "Where has the music gone?"

"The draft has directly caused today’s listeners to lose their aesthetic judgment of music. In the ears of TV viewers, the only word left in the aesthetic judgment of music is’singing skills’. They are more disturbed by the so-called inspirational life, gossip news, and gags. These contestants are instantly magnified to be very three-dimensional, but their music has become extremely dry."

Grassroots stars are propelled forward by a wave of overnight fame, with agencies providing blind and discerning young people with the lowest level of music products, convincing them that this is the best music.

The industry and aesthetic standards originally mastered by record companies were preempted by variety shows.

"These draft stars urged by catalysts have no professional achievements at all, and naturally they lack celebrity temperament. They are just celebrities under the saliva of social media," Wang Xiaofeng commented.

The deformed market mechanism is bound to produce only snobbish businesspeople and lazy speculators. Li Ronghao, who has assembled a team to produce new songs and finally released them from September to December, must have a deep understanding of this.

However, the audience’s enthusiasm for the talent show will not be diminished in the slightest. Every poor piece of music, when it is heard by the audience, the audience is trapped in this quagmire and cannot break free.

Only pop, no music

In 2001, six years after the death of the famous Taiwanese music producer Yang Minghuang in a car accident, his friend Huang Shujun was still deeply saddened by the death of his friend. Therefore, he chose the occasion of 1995 and released the song "Change 1995" to tell his nostalgic friend about the changes in the world after his departure.

There is a line in the lyrics: "Only pop, no music, I see that you are out of sight and clean, and it will be a good thing."

The prophecy of "only pop, no music" also entered the 21st century, and it has not been broken to this day.

The blogger @ChineseRock Rock Hell once said: "The so-called music industry is also quite interesting now. It never mentions the quality of the songs, and it calls out how many songs have been sold. After the end, the manuscript will be released, and the Chinese music industry will be revived. Everyone is happy."

The willful neglect of song quality is in part due to the failure of popular music to gain intellectual favor.

How many more songs can you listen to for your sweetheart?

According to the "Report on the Survival Status of Independent Musicians in China" released by NetEase Cloud Music in 2016, the professional level of independent musicians in China is still very low, most of them are self-taught, and only 11.8% have received professional and systematic music training.

Listeners and the pop industry as a whole don’t care, they all follow the pleasure principle – the industry creates the desire to consume, and the audience creates the consumption.

Fans’ enthusiasm for songs has been divorced from the music itself, and songs have become a symbol for listeners to prove their aesthetic taste and a host for material consumption.

But soaring chart numbers cannot disguise the collapse of the music industry as a whole. Audiences will one day tire of old-fashioned lyrics, cover adaptations, plagiarism, and brainwashing songs that always make it to the charts.

Last May, the BBC published an article analyzing how emotions like sadness and loneliness have become more prevalent in song lyrics since the 1980s, and that pop music today is more aggressive and fearful than it was in punk’s heyday.

Popular music has pierced the cultural undercurrent of our society, allowing listeners to enjoy themselves while feeling depressed. Between emotional reversals, bad money drives out good money, and fans bully ordinary listeners, thus creating a generation of young people who have no songs to listen to and can’t listen to songs.

　 　 Towards the end of the year, various rankings have been released one after another. As of December 8, the cumulative box office of the mainland this year has broken through 20 billion, and the New Year’s War has also started. Taiwan has taken stock of the annual box office rankings in advance, and the figures show that among the top ten Chinese-language films, more than half of Taiwan’s local films account for. Jiao Xiongping, a well-known filmmaker, wrote an analysis saying that "Taiwanese films seem to be completely different from the Greater Chinese-speaking circle in terms of taste and taste". In connection with the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, which ended last month, and other films have been recognized by important awards, while mainland films and co-productions have gained little, Jiao Xiongping believes that Taiwanese films are getting farther and farther away from the Greater Chinese-speaking

Key Analysis: Taiwan Taste VS Chinese Film Trends

Reviewer: Jiao Xiongping

　 　 After taking stock of the performance of Taiwan’s film market at the end of the year, it will be found that local films have fully covered Taiwan’s Chinese film market. Mainland films have no influence, while Hong Kong and mainland co-productions, although biased towards mainland tastes, rely heavily on the popularity of directors. In addition to Zhou Xingchi, Wong Kar-wai and Tsui Hark have been at the bottom of the top ten best-selling films, and they are far from the championship and runner-up results.

Which local Taiwanese films are popular?

　 　 ,,, "Mayday Noah’s Ark",, all show how Taiwanese audiences only watch movies with a Taiwanese flavor with a high standard of "Taiwan consciousness".

　 　 "The Big-Tailed Bass Eel" evokes memories of the 1980s and 1990s for Taiwanese audiences of the cabaret pig show, the underworld oolong, yellow accent + local Taiwanese guests, the absurd situation, allowing the audience to enjoy the vent-style joy and laughter in the theater; "The Chief Shop Master" is a long and nostalgic recollection of Taiwan’s local "table culture" (outdoor banquets, not paying attention to tables and chairs, and the food is also high-quality and cheap). The story barely has a bridge of competition and search experts, playing with advertising-style gimmicks and Taiwanese songs and dances, which are very popular with young audiences; "Seeing Taiwan" is definitely a real "love Taiwan" movie that is populist to the end. The director rents a plane to shoot Taiwan from above, not only seeing the beautiful scenery of Taiwan’s strange mountains, but also lamenting the damage to this land (industrial pollution; over-exploitation of nature by sightseeing), so that audiences who cherish Taiwan’s heaven and earth flock to it.

　 　 "Mayday Noah’s Ark" emphasizes 3D and has loyal fans of the band; "Ambition" records the inspirational process of a group of marginalized girls in Taiwan’s beautiful women practicing tug-of-war and struggling to win the world championship; "Transformation" (the title of the mainland film) discusses the downfall and life of a TV show’s outdated idol. These are all fake Taiwanese-style movies. Even if the aesthetics are biased towards TV/variety shows and the performances are exaggerated and stereotypical, their affinity should not be underestimated.

The rise of audiences in southern Taiwan

　 　 Similar to the rise of audience tastes in second- and third-tier cities in mainland China, these films are also the re-emergence of southern audiences and influence the market. In the past, the box office of Taiwanese films was 1:1 outside Taipei and Taipei (the film festival is collectively called "South"). Now it is 1:1.5 or 1:2. The taste influence of southern audiences overshadows the northern metropolitan culture, and Taiwanese is blooming everywhere.

Lord Xing can’t beat "those five years"

　 　 Although the fourth highest box office was invested by a mainland company and starred by Bai Baihe, about 90% of the film was filmed in Taiwan, and the other actors were all arranged by Taiwanese people. In addition, the time and place are unknown, making it look like a Taiwanese film on the surface.

　 　 As for Wong Kar-wai and Tsui Hark, two Hong Kong directors, who spent a lot of money to shoot and sell in the mainland, they only sold for 30 to 40 million Taiwan dollars (about 6 million-8 million yuan), which is very different from the success of hundreds of millions of yuan in the mainland. In addition, the expensive Zhou Xingchi can’t even sell "The Five Years Stolen".

The meaning of the Golden Horse Awards

　 　 These Taiwanese-style films have few opportunities to enter the mainland market (except for films such as "Mayday Noah’s Ark"), which also makes Taiwanese films farther and farther away from the greater Chinese-speaking circle. In particular, Ang Lee took the lead in giving all the Golden Horse Awards to Taiwanese films and Singaporean films. Faced with the prosperity of mainland local films, Taiwanese films seem to be diametrically divided from the greater Chinese-speaking circle in terms of taste.

One concern: Which movies are Taiwanese netizens most satisfied with this year?

　 　 The annual Yahoo Satisfaction List recently announced the latest list. In this "User Satisfaction List T O P10", Taiwanese local films "Seeing Taiwan" and "Ambition" won the first, second and sixth places respectively.

　 　 No. 1: "Seeing Taiwan"

　 　 No. 2: "A Rock to the Moon"

　 　 No. 3: "The Silver Soul Finale: The Eternal House of Everything"

　 　 Fourth place:

　 　 Fifth place:

　 　 Number 6: "Ambition"

　 　 And number seven:

　 　 8th place:

　 　 Number 9:

　 　 Number 10:

　 　(Statistical time: as of November 11, 2013)

Yahoo Review

　 　 No. 1: The director of "Seeing Taiwan", Zeppelin, is a "hot-blooded fool" who uses aerial photography to capture the beauty and sadness of the entire Taiwan’s mountainous coast. If it weren’t for this angle, the audience would never have believed that Alishan’s sun viewing place was next to a large hollowed-out cliff, which was shocking and visible.

　 　 No. 2: "A Rock to the Moon" This documentary discusses the group portraits of fathers in a rare and seriously ill family. They form the band’s motley army "Sleepy Bear Tyrant". Others form a group competition to get a name, and they form a group to prove themselves, which moves the index.

　 　 No. 6: "Ambition" This inspirational work tells the rise of the tug-of-war team among the beautiful women. Guo Shuyao’s dedicated performance helped her win the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer! The first step of a generation of "otaku goddess" to become an actor, she did it.

A Follow-up: Discussion on "Lost in Thailand" in Taiwan "

　 　 Last week’s report (hereinafter referred to as "Lost in Thailand") officially **** theaters on November 29. In the first three days of the first weekend, the Taipei box office only made 100,000 New Taiwan dollars (about 20,000 yuan). The gap between the results of the two places is so large that it is dumbfounded. Why? After the report was reprinted by Sina, Time Network and Art En Information, it caused a lot of discussion, and some netizens from Taiwan gave their answers.

　 　 @Taiwan Movie FunClip: In Taiwan, the box office quality of mainland films has little to do with the release time or publicity. The key is to "take money out of your pocket" and enter the cinema. Taiwanese movie fans are used to choosing "foreign films" to be worth the ticket price; and the popular Taiwanese films must also be recommended by netizens word of mouth. Diehard fans of mainland films, after all, are niche. Unless there are well-known Hong Kong and Taiwan artists participating in the performance in the "co-production", the box office cannot be guaranteed…

　 　 @Stiven937: Movies released in Taiwan are usually released simultaneously around the world. The movie "Lost in Thailand" has a lot of laughs, but it has been broadcast dozens of times on tour buses in Taiwan. Students may have seen it on buses for various outdoor activities. How can they go to the cinema to watch it again?

　　China Broadcasting News on December 9, 2008, the end of the year kung fu blockbuster, reflecting a generation of martial arts guru, Bruce Lee master Ip Man’s legendary life story of the film "Ip Man" held a grand premiere in Beijing, in addition to starring Donnie Yen, Xiong Dailin, Ren Dahua and martial arts director Hong Jinbao, producer Huang Baiming and other main creators, just in the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" successfully played "spicy housekeeper Wang Xifeng" beautiful woman star Li Wantou and many other film and television stars were also invited to cheer for the film said to be the best-looking action movie in 2008, and claimed that it was worthwhile.

　　Li Wantong, who is about to star in the kung fu blockbuster "King" with Hong Jinbao in 2009, has been working hard to practice kung fu recently. Although the film director has always emphasized that as long as there is enough, she still refuses to relax at all, saying that it is a very rare opportunity to work with such a kung fu superstar, and she must be prepared.

　　In the espionage drama "The Final Contest", which is about to hit the national TV screen at the end of the year, Li Wantong plays the heroine Qin Muyao, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, who has already had a good time playing stars, but she said that those action scenes should not be comparable to the action scenes in real kung fu movies. Although the filming is also very clean, there is no very beautiful routine or very exciting action scenes in the end. She also hopes to take this opportunity to challenge herself and learn from Kung Fu kings like Hong Jinbao and Liang Xiaolong.

　　For the movie "Ip Man", Li Wantong said that he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and now he finally saw it, and he was really shocked and moved. Donnie Yen, Hung Jinbao and Fan Shaohuang are all action actors he likes very much, and Ren Dahua is also an actor he admires very much. Ye Weixin and Huang Baiming are all Hong Kong directors he hopes to cooperate with very much. Their strength no longer needs to be described in words. The action movie they jointly produced will not disappoint fans. For the heroine of the film "Sister Cheng" Xiong Dailin, Wan Tong expressed his envy that she could act with Donnie Yen, and hoped that he could have such an opportunity in the future.

203X!

23:50

In 10 minutes, my car will be destroyed. The sun will rise tomorrow as usual, and there will be no gasoline cars in this world.

Many years ago, countries introduced countdown watches for fuel vehicles one after another, but people at that time did not take it seriously. They optimistically estimated that it was impossible to completely eliminate fuel vehicles, and at most, fuel and electricity were mixed. But this day has not only come, but also is very thorough, very crisp, and even a little cruel.

I am the last people in the world who still own a gasoline car. We are the car nails of this era. We will die sooner or later, and it will only take time. The world around us is already electric. My wife, my eldest daughter, my youngest daughter, although she is only 14 years old, she already has her own car, because the driverless mode does not require her to be an adult, nor does she need a driver’s license.

23:51

Back then, my driving coach was a middle-aged frustrated man, very thin and tall, who didn’t talk much. He didn’t have the habit of scolding people, and he wouldn’t ask students for Chinese cigarettes, but I still bought him every few practice sessions because I thought he was lonely.

I am also lonely.

At that time, I was unemployed and lovelorn, and every day I had a stone stuck in my heart, causing trouble with the world. In the hot June, no one at the driving school practiced driving, so I decided to practice. When I got dizzy from the sun, the coach drove the car to the shade, and we smoked one by one.

The driving school is gone. Where has the coach gone?

23:52

The reverse parking that tormented me is still tormenting me hilariously.

After the large-scale application of electric vehicles, there is a reversing mode in the car, and the computer can help the owner to park accurately, which directly leads to companies, shopping malls, and even residential areas to reduce the parking space to a little bit. Refusing to park automatically, like me, I used to reverse the car and put a rudder directly into the warehouse, but now I have to turn the steering wheel several times. It almost brought me back to the terrifying moment when I took the driver’s license test more than ten years ago.

23:54

Six minutes to go. Six minutes to myself.

Ever since I have a car, what makes me most happy is not the pleasure of driving, but the feeling of sitting in the car in a daze. Turn off the engine, the car becomes quiet, and I can hear the crunch of leather when I move my body.

The car became a container for me to be alone, without fuel, rice, oil and salt, without intrigue, and the highly concentrated energy after driving was released in an instant. It also became my only unscrupulous place to cry. Sitting in the car wrapped in steel, I was like a baby, and it didn’t matter if I cried.

No more.

The accurate positioning notification of the smart electric car allows my wife to know that I have arrived at the door as soon as possible. If I don’t go home in time, it will attract her attention. Sorry, this gaze is the burden of my speechless look back.

23:57

But I can’t say I’m not happy, and people who are dependent and needed have no right to be unhappy.

From the moment I formed a family with my wife, I vowed to be someone who would bring her happiness as well as my own.

I still remember the first time I went on a date with my wife. I was waiting for her downstairs in my second-hand car. I was afraid that she would dislike my car, so I wiped it well before going, and even the floor mats were dusted, trying my best to be spotless.

The first date was a success, if not for the wife throwing up before getting out of the car.

The second-hand car had many problems. The door rattled, the brakes were stepped on for a meal, and the most important thing was that the gasoline smell was heavy. The wife said that she wanted to vomit when she got in the car.

23:58

I am the 367th person in the world to still own a gasoline car.

Owners of fuel vehicles have a separate cloud community, each with their own virtual coordinates. When someone switches to an electric vehicle, their coordinate indicator will no longer light up.

More and more lights are going out around the world.

It is said that at midnight tonight, there will be intelligent machines controlling public order towing my car.

Friend asked me, why do you stubbornly drive a fuel car? Are you refusing to move forward and want to go against the trend?

And at that moment, I had the answer: I don’t want to go against the world; I just simply don’t want one choice. The tide pushes us forward, but it shouldn’t take away the right to choose.

I like the smell of gasoline, I like the feeling of not so smooth at the beginning, I like to sit in the driver’s cabin in winter and wait for it to wake up. It is my memory, it is an era.

23:59

I hastily opened the door and strode home.

Goodbye, fuel truck.

This article is purely fictional

The story takes place in 203X. At that time, the fuel cars in the world completely disappeared. I am grateful for the time when gasoline cars accompanied human beings. The author boldly imagines how people’s lives, work, emotions, etc. will change in the virtual future, and whether those constant warmth and pursuit are also worthy of our occasional reflections today… In the next issue of "After the World Without Fuel Vehicles…", we will continue to walk into your/my/his future car world.

In the picture, an ordinary old man and an ox are guarding the tomb, and they go to Qiu Lai in spring, where flowers bloom and fall.

He is Zhang Jueqian, the father of Zhang Renya, the guardian of the first party constitution. In order to entrust his son, he made up a story of "the son died outside" and hid the communist party Declaration in his son’s cenotaph, and guarded it for more than twenty years.

People guess whether he guards the treasure, but few people know that he guards his son and his faith.

In the unit "Guarding" of TV series "Ideal Shines on China", Zhang Jueqian’s ordinary and great life reappears in front of the audience.

Ideal Shines on China is an important theme creation to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Unlike many TV series with grand propositions, the topic selection of Ideal Shines on China avoids familiar high-profile figures and is mostly unfamiliar faces of the audience.

This is the case with Guardian, and so is the fifty-fifth letter.

Recently, the film and television monologue interviewed two directors, Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi, and reviewed this wonderful experience with them and looked forward to the new direction in the future.

Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi are with the general director Dongyu Fu.

Of the 40 stories in Ideal Shines on China, Guardian and Fifty-fifth Letter are two units with slow rhythm and few conflicts.

The former is aimed at Zhang Renya and Zhang Jueqian, the father and son’s lifelong waiting and guarding, while the latter starts with the letters of Chen Yian and Li Zhiqiang, the husband and wife, showing the feelings of people who are dedicated to the revolution. Both stories are told, hitting the hearts of the audience in the spring breeze and rain.

In fact, this is also the effect pursued by the two directors.

On the topic selection, Dongyu Fu, the general director, gave the director great autonomy. After watching the whole prototype story, each director can submit five target topics, and finally pick out two of the five topics that are the most sparking and touching.

In this respect, the goals of Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi are clear from beginning to end: text first, theme second, emotion first.

In Xiaoou Zhao’s view, theme creation is not a shackle for them, but a positive theme orientation. He hopes that there will be a breakthrough in the form of expression. "When a director shoots a work, the first thing he needs to look at is the perspective. From different angles, the story will show different styles. After reading 40 topics, we set a standard, that is, we hope that this story is good-looking and worthy of refinement. Because only by looking good can the audience understand what the story wants to express. "

Zhao Xiaoxi on the left and Xiaoou Zhao on the right chat with actor Lin Yongjian.

On this premise, Guardian and Fifty-fifth Letter came into the sight of Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi.

Without a strong narrative style, these two topics are more in line with the China population’s "great voices are heard, elephants are invisible" and "like a cup of tea, it can make the audience taste slowly, and the taste will have stamina in the end. You will know the weight of the phrase’ Red China will definitely appear’ that the people in the play have been saying. " This is the goal that Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi are eager to achieve.

But after the choice, the problem really came.

If the audience watched TV dramas like reading novels before, the impression of Ideal Shines on China is like a poem. Each episode is about 30 minutes long, with concise length and light weight, and tells a long or short story of the times.

Although the form is novel, it also brings a big problem to the two directors: how to tell a person’s decades in half an hour? How to make every minute of the play have enough information to output? How to make the plain story firmly grasp the audience’s sight?

"I think that the most important thing to tell a story that spans several decades is to firmly grasp the motives, motivations and goals of the characters, and try not to talk about the side details." In Zhao Xiaoxi’s view, the shorter the space, the stricter the requirements for narrative structure and logic.

Therefore, although there are regrets, trade-offs are essential.

In the first edition of the script, whether it is Guardian or Fifty-fifth Letter, the writers Chen Xuan and Hu Yating are full and true in the details of their lives. For example, the separation of Zhang Jueqian and his second son in Guarding, the villagers’ comments on Zhang Jueqian’s behavior, and the fifty-fifth letter in which Li Zhiqiang made a cot and clothes for his children, as well as the sacrificial Zhang, are all described in detail.

However, after comprehensive consideration, Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi decided to reluctantly give up what one favours and delete some "branches and leaves". "Because" Ideal Shines on China "is not like a TV series, many relationships can be discussed, so we just need to tell a character or a story thoroughly."

The story can flow smoothly, but in terms of details, Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi hope to give the audience enough detailed and thorough feelings.

"We chose the story before the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In fact, the shooting process is more complicated than modern drama." In Zhao Xiaoxi’s view, although there was more room to play before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, all kinds of historical details had higher requirements than modern dramas. "If the props and details of the era are wrong, it will be difficult for the audience to have a sense of substitution in that era."

Therefore, even a 25-minute short play, Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi did no less research, data collection and on-the-spot investigation than a long TV play.

"When filming Guardian, I went to Zhang Renya Memorial Hall. It is not only to understand his life experience, but also to examine some details of that era. Including what kind of leaflets Zhang Jueqian saw at that time, I went to the historical materials museum to check a lot of samples for reference. What version of the communist party Declaration is buried under the tombstone, what kind of blood has just been obtained, and what it is like to dig out from the tomb, we must verify it. "

If the preparatory work for Guardian is a primary edition, then the preparatory work for Fifty-fifth Letter is an advanced edition.

What are the 55 letters of Chen Yian and Li Zhiqiang in the play? Has the handwriting changed? What were Chen Yian’s clothes like in different wars? How did it change before and after joining communist party? Although these shots are all a flash, the weight of history is on them, and Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi dare not be careless.

In addition to verifying props, before filming "The Fifty-fifth Letter", Xiaoou Zhao and screenwriter Hu Yating also visited Chen Yian’s descendants in depth to learn about his life. "What kind of house does the mother live in, how did her mother bring him up, and what is the father in her mother’s mouth?"

Even the drama of Chen Huangming, the son of the opening credits, looking for the restorer Lao Yuan with old photos is a true story that he and the screenwriter learned in the investigation of collecting wind. Later, at the suggestion of Liang Zhenhua, the chief screenwriter, Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi took this scene as a breakthrough point to connect the past with the present and look back on the past from the perspective of modern people.

This has also become a design widely praised by the audience. Compared with the story of Gao Dan, I just want to take a look at the story of my father’s son, which is ordinary but very substitutive.

In fact, this kind of treatment also contains some selfishness of Zhao Xiaoxi. For a long time in the past, he was partial to Yu Hua’s Living. The narrative that tells the story of an ordinary person’s life has touched him greatly. Therefore, he also hopes that through this opportunity, he will tell the sufferings and joys of ordinary people in that era.

This point is also shown in "Guardian". For example, when entrusted by his son, Zhang Jueqian’s first reaction was to care whether he was injured. Before sending my son away, I want to put four eggs on him; In the long wait year after year, the ox who accompanied him was only left with a bell …

　

"In fact, these two units are all about concretizing beliefs into emotions. Zhang Jueqian chose to guard the communist party Declaration because of the affection between father and son. Because of love, Li Zhiqiang and Chen Yian chose revolution and waiting in turbulent times. They all have human feelings before they can rely on their beliefs. "

Draw nutrients from the most solid soil, so that Guardian and Fifty-fifth Letter can stand firmly on the balance pole of documentary and drama. In this regard, Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi feel gratified, but also very grateful for the support and help of the team behind them.

"It is a very happy thing that everyone can agree with a goal and then continue to contribute to it." Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi always believe that the production of a good drama needs all the trust on the professional basis.

"Our screenwriters are very supportive of our changes, and they have also given us great help. For example, Hu Yating, the screenwriter of "The Fifty-fifth Letter". Her brushwork is exquisite, and her desk work is fully done. She has written many small details that have not been photographed in the play. We have held many creative meetings together and solved the problem bit by bit, and finally we presented such a work. "

Such a creative concept is also what Xiaoou Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxi long for. Therefore, they chose to reach a strategic cooperation with Hello Youth Media led by Liang Zhenhua, the chief screenwriter of Ideal Shines on China.

"After the cooperation of" Ideal Shines on China ",I am very happy to cooperate with companies with original ability and production ability, hoping to combine our advantages and create better works for everyone in the future."

This will be a win-win cooperation. Based on creation, all things can be born.

Venue: Lianyungang Press Conference Hall

Moderator: Yang Yan, Deputy Director of Party Group Work Department of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration

Publisher: Bao Jilai, deputy director and spokesperson of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration; Yin Wenwei, vice chairman of guannan county CPPCC and director of Transportation Bureau; Wu Xiaojun, deputy director of Lianyungang Guanhe Maritime Department.

Issue: Introduce the cancellation of ferry in Guanhe area of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration.

Yang Yan: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends of the news media!

Today, we held a press conference on "Cancellation of Ferry in Guanhe Jurisdiction of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration" in Lianyungang Press Hall.

Attending the conference were Bao Jilai, deputy director and spokesman of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration, Yin Wenwei, vice chairman of Lianyungang guannan county CPPCC and director of the Transportation Bureau, and Wu Xiaojun, deputy director of Lianyungang Guanhe Marine Department. They will tell you about the cancellation of the ferry in Guanhe area of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration and answer questions that media friends are interested in.

I am Yang Yan, deputy director of the Party Group Work Department of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration, and today’s press conference is presided over by me.

Today, we are fortunate to have invited Xinhua Daily, Xinhuanet, Yangzi Evening News, Modern Express, Netease News, Lianyungang Radio Station, Lianyungang TV Station, Lianyungang Daily, Cangwu Evening News, Lianyungang Publishing and other media friends. Welcome to the conference!

First of all, please invite Comrade Bao Jilai, deputy director and spokesman of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration, to make a press release.

Bao Jilai: Good morning, leaders, guests and friends from the press!

Today, we are here to hold a press conference on the cancellation of the ferry in Guanhe jurisdiction of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration. Here, on behalf of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the friends from the press attending the meeting! At the same time, I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to all sectors of society who have long cared about and supported Lianyungang’s maritime development!

In 2019, the evacuation of four crossing lines in Guanhe area was officially started. Up to now, all ferries have completed the examination and approval of ferry cancellation, and the ferry lines under the jurisdiction of Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration have all been cancelled. The ferry operation in the jurisdiction has completed its historical mission and the ferry trip has come to a successful end.

The evacuation work is related to people’s travel, and we must uphold a prudent and scientific attitude. The four crossing lines of Guanhe River were set up in the early 1990s, which once carried the heavy burden of communication between residents on both sides of Guanhe River. With the development of land traffic, the increase of ship traffic flow on the water and the aging of ferries, ferry trips have not adapted to the current situation and become a major risk threatening the water traffic safety in Guanhe waters. In order to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property, under the leadership of the people’s governments of guannan county and Xiangshui County, the competent departments of the county people’s government, the township people’s government where the ferry is located and the maritime administrative department have coordinated and promoted, and now the approval has been revoked. The ferry boarding facilities will be dismantled according to law, and the original ferry will be dismantled.

Here, we also call on residents on both sides of the strait to cooperate with the evacuation work, cherish their lives and put an end to private crossings.

Thank you!

Yang Yan: Thank you for the press release.

The following is a question-and-answer session. Please ask reporters and friends to ask questions on related issues.

Reporter: Hello, please briefly introduce the background of this ferry evacuation.

Wu Xiaojun: First of all, thank you for your concern about our work. I will answer this question.

There are four original ferry lines in Guanhe area of Lianyungang Maritime Bureau, namely Dazui-Chenjiagang ferry line, Jiudui-Dawan ferry line, Badui-Haian ferry line, and Sandui-Shuang Gang ferry line, with a total of eight ferries, which were set up in the early 1990s. At that time, apart from the Xiangshui 204 National Highway Bridge, no other bridges were erected in the lower reaches of Guanhe River, and the exchanges between residents on both sides of the strait mainly depended on ferries. Since the ferry lines were set up for nearly 30 years, they have been safely ferried for nearly 1,500 years.

The evacuation of the ferry is mainly due to the changes in the internal and external situations. First, with the rapid development of economy and society, many bridges such as Xiangshui 204 National Highway Bridge, Shenhai Expressway Guanhe Bridge, lianyungang-yancheng railway Guanhe Bridge and Guanjiangkou Bridge, which have basically met the travel needs of residents on both sides of the strait, are no longer an inevitable choice for residents on both sides of the strait to travel by ferry. Second, due to the effective management of the waterway in Guanhe Estuary and the continuous extension of the combined transport area between Guanhe River and Haihe River, the navigation environment of Guanhe River has changed greatly, and the trend of large-scale ships is obvious, and the traffic flow of ships has increased by orders of magnitude; Third, there are great security risks in the current ferry mode, such as the obvious aging of the ferry. In recent years, there are 349 hidden dangers of ferry safety detected by the maritime department alone, which seriously threatens the travel safety of people on both sides of the strait.

These changes in the internal and external situation have made the evacuation work very necessary and urgent.

Reporter: Hello, what supporting measures are there after the ferry is cancelled?

Yin Wenwei: Thank you for your question. I will answer this question.

After the ferry is cancelled, as the competent department of the industry, we will work with the maritime department and the township government where the ferry is located, relying on the supervision and coordination mechanism of the ferry withdrawal to jointly promote the follow-up work.

First, vigorously carry out publicity and mobilization. Through media release, posting the announcement of ferry suspension, etc., actively announce the ferry withdrawal information through multiple channels, and explain it to residents on both sides of the strait, calling on them to actively cooperate and guide them to take the initiative to choose land travel.

Second, continue to strengthen ferry supervision. Combined with the special rectification activities of safety production, we will continue to carry out inspections on the original ferry, increase the intensity and frequency of inspections, and resolutely put an end to the occurrence of private crossings.

The third is to dismantle the ferry facilities in an orderly manner. Timely follow-up work, including the cancellation of ferry households and the dismantling of ferry boarding facilities, will be done to ensure the orderly progress in accordance with the law and ensure the safety of people’s lives and property in the ferry area.

Thank you all.

Reporter: Hello, please briefly introduce the impact on the navigation safety of Guanhe waters after the evacuation.

Bao Jilai: Thank you for your question. I will answer this question.

It is obvious that the cancellation of ferry has brought favorable changes to the navigation environment. With the rapid economic development on both sides of Guanhe River, the navigation capacity and demand of Guanhe River have been greatly improved, and the port throughput and ship traffic flow have increased by orders of magnitude. With the demand of large-scale ships and fast navigation, the crossing of ferries poses a great threat to the navigation safety of passing ships, and the thrilling scene of "passing by" occurs from time to time. Once it cannot dodge, it will bring about dangerous accidents of group deaths and injuries. After the ferry is withdrawn, the ascending and descending ships are no longer worried about the crossing of the ferry, just as we are no longer worried about pedestrians and non-motor vehicles crossing the road when driving, so we can sail more quickly and safely, which not only improves the navigation efficiency in water areas, but also improves the water safety level.

Thank you.

Yang Yan: Thank you again for your introduction and answers, and thank you media friends for attending today’s press conference. Please contact our staff if you need to continue the interview.

This concludes today’s press conference. Thank you!

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the operation and sales of fireworks and firecrackers have entered the peak season. In order to further thoroughly implement the spirit of the national, autonomous region and Tongliao video teleconference on safety production and the special action requirements of Tongliao’s "100-day attack" on safety production, recently, the Zhalute Banner Market Supervision Administration and the Banner Emergency Bureau jointly launched a special investigation and rectification campaign for fireworks and firecrackers.

During the inspection, law enforcement officers checked whether the fireworks and firecrackers distribution enterprises and temporary retail stalls have obtained the fireworks and firecrackers business (retail) license, focusing on the mandatory requirements such as the source of fireworks and firecrackers, inspection report, product level, discharge instructions, warning words, production date and shelf life. Operators are also required to strictly implement the incoming goods inspection system and the system of claiming certificates and tickets, establish and improve the ledger of incoming and outgoing goods, store fireworks and firecrackers according to the requirements of warehouses and storage limits, and resolutely prevent fireworks and firecrackers with incomplete signs and signs that do not meet the mandatory national standards from going on sale. At the same time, operators are required to enhance their awareness of safety precautions, earnestly fulfill the main responsibility of safety, store fireworks and firecrackers in a safe and standardized manner, promptly investigate potential safety hazards and prevent safety accidents.

In the next step, the Banner Market Supervision Administration will continue to strengthen the supervision of the quality of fireworks and firecrackers, severely crack down on illegal acts of selling fake and shoddy fireworks and firecrackers, prevent unqualified fireworks and firecrackers from entering the market, effectively protect the consumption safety of fireworks and firecrackers, and ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.
