Chapter 810 Tradition and Change

Zhang Yu said: "Why? This is a complicated question. I'm afraid I can't explain it in a few words. In fact, when I perform abroad, the target audience is naturally foreigners. I want the foreigners to buy it and applaud us. Then It must meet the aesthetic standards of foreigners. Our folk music, in the eyes of foreigners, meets the standards of curiosity, has never heard it before, and is fresh, but because Chinese and Western music cultures are fundamentally different, although it sounds It's novel, but it has no beauty to them. Like classical Chinese, Chinese people feel beautiful, but do foreigners feel that way? So in my opinion, if we want to sell our culture to the world, then we must Flexibility, other than that, there is no other possibility."

Lin Jiankai frowned when he heard this, and said, "Is it still a traditional culture that can be adapted? Isn't that the two devils, nondescript?"

Zhang Yu Wenyan smiled and said: "So this is embarrassing! Unless we want to maintain 100% purity of our own culture, then we can make this kind of change without cutting it. But is it possible! Because of the great fusion of world cultures, this It's not just an imagination, but a cultural trend. It's like Hanyu Pinyin! Isn't this a clear manifestation of cultural integration? Does anyone still think Hanyu Pinyin is not part of Chinese culture?"

Lin Jiankai nodded when he heard the words... It seems that from this point, it is difficult to object to Zhang Yu's statement!

Zhang Yudao: "In fact, cultural fusion is everywhere, but most people don't want to admit it. Just like those ancient music that has been popular in recent years, many works during this period advertised themselves as 100% Chinese style and 100% cultural restoration. You must know that this is a very funny statement! Because many works during the period included guitars, basses, and drums, how could it be a 100% cultural restoration? Even if the relationship between musical instruments is not mentioned, then the harmony used to construct these music What about the system! Many works were created using Western harmonics. During the period, not only were the genres templated and the style formatted, they sounded almost the same. It can also be said that in these works, except for those rare words that others could not understand, It has nothing to do with traditional culture at all. It can be said that this is a kind of two devils with cultural fusion!"

Jiang Chenxuan, who was sitting next to him, heard this and interjected: "Our company is currently planning to help me package a series of antique works to cater to the market. Listen to you! There seems to be something wrong."

Zhang Yudao: "You think so, you just misunderstand what I mean. I mean, cultural fusion is everywhere, and its existence and value should not be denied because of those so-called vanity. If folk music wants to go global, it must accept the fusion of Western music into a new kind of music. If folk music does not want to accept this kind of fusion, then there is no way to go global. Many people may think that there are many Chinese in the world. Even if you don’t go to the world, folk music can survive. But you must know that if you don’t cannibalize other people’s market, you will release your own market and let others cannibalize it. The same is true for music! The lyrics part is basically a skeleton built with other people's Western music system, isn't this an alternative sadness to our national music system?"

After hearing this, Lin Jiankai was silent for a while... Then he said, "Then according to what you said, fusion means that the traditional things will disappear. If you don't integrate, the traditional things will disappear?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It can only be said that no one in the world will stop the pace of cultural integration! If ethnic music does not change, the market size will only get smaller and smaller, and it will only disappear sooner or later. Just say In China before the New Wave culture swept the world, those ancient musical scores, let alone playing, are rare now even people who can understand them. In fact, it is already struggling at the stage of national treasure in the archives! Many people just don’t want to admit it. A hundred years later,

Some people will regard the current ancient style music as 100% traditional music, not Erguizi. In fact, this statement is also correct, because it is born on the basis of Chinese culture. Without Chinese culture, it would not exist. Then it is not a part of Chinese culture, so what is it? The only difference is that it will be more stereotyped, losing the soul and essence of Chinese culture. This can only be said to be a regret with inevitability! "

Lin Jiankai nodded when he heard the words, and said, "It seems that the music of our nation wants to go to the world and make changes, it can only be an inevitable thing."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Even if you offend people, you have to say it! That's for sure."

Lin Jiankai said: "In fact, the internationalization of folk music has a long history in China, but it's easier said than done. Only a talented musician who has a thorough understanding of Chinese and Western music can do this. In my opinion, Xiao Zhang, you mean something like that!"

Zhang Yu Wenyan smiled and said: "I don't dare to say such a big thing! I can only say that this is a systematic project! Of course, my ability is limited by me alone. But I will try it if I have the opportunity! With such a little ability, it would be a pity to do nothing.”

Lin Jiankai said with a smile: "That's great! There is a talented musician like you doing this, I believe it is much stronger than a hundred people like me. By the way, Mr. Zhang, I hope that after returning to China, you If time allows, let's see if we can come to our Guodu Chinese Orchestra for guidance. If you have a master-level guidance like you, we will surely let those old guys understand that the internationalization of Chinese national bands is still a problem. There are those difficulties to solve."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I have a chance! It will be interesting to discuss this issue with the teachers at that time."

When Lin Jiankai said this, he talked a little about the bamboo flute... Anyway, I happened to have the opportunity to sit next to a master like Zhang Yu. I wonder if I wasted this precious opportunity by saying goodbye.

How to say Zhang Yu is now a top master in the field of music, there are not many people at home and abroad who can compare with him to tell the truth, and many questions can naturally help Lin Jiankai answer his doubts. This also made Lin Jiankai more and more surprised by Zhang Yu's insight, which was 10,000 times thicker than he thought... Could it be that a genius is really so awesome?
