Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Wang Xu's engagement was held in his own bar. He invited a lot of guests. There was no special ceremony. Most of them were engaged in art. Each house would put on a show. The emcee was Zhou Tao, um, that beautiful one. Police sister.

She now works as a host at Imperial TV Station, and Wang Xu asked her to help based on the concept of using the familiar rather than the raw.

Zhou Tao readily agreed. She often borrowed clothes from Wang Xu, especially after becoming a host. If it was an event organized by a TV station, then the TV station would naturally provide clothes.

But they also had to take on various private jobs to earn some extra money. Wang Xu had given her the right to borrow clothes early, and she was not polite. When something happened, she would go to Wang Chao's shop to borrow clothes. Of course, she would also help Wang Xu take some photos. Promotional photos and stuff.

In this era, things like this are not unusual at all. They are not so commercialized, and their interactions are more like friends than simple customers. Each other has a strong balance in their hearts, and they both know that each other can't go too far, so they get along very harmoniously.

Wang Xu is quite influential in the music circle of the imperial capital. With the planning of new movies, his contacts in the film circle are also expanding rapidly. Several of his businesses are growing at a speed that Wang Xu could not imagine.

In fact, Wang Xu didn't send out many invitations. He originally planned to make it a small scale one, just for the two families to get together and make it lively.

There are not many relatives in Wang Xu's family. Both his father's and mother's families are sparsely populated, and the old people all passed away early.

On the other hand, many teachers from all fields came. Naturally, Wang Xu’s teacher was invited. Both Professor Yan from the Department of Automation and Professor Bian from the Department of Materials received invitations. Professors like Teacher Luo who had been working with Wang Xu for a long time were also invited. Nature is among them.

There was no fixed teacher for Wang Xu when he was in elementary school. They all followed the big class and there was no clear teacher-teacher relationship. Although Mr. Mei fell in love with him at the time, who made him grow taller?

The real disciple of the Mei sect, the senior sister of this generation is actually Li Shengsu. This is the kind of person that Mr. Mei truly admits and has become a disciple according to the old custom.

But the Mei Sect is not just Mr. Mei. Not only did Mr. Mei Lanfang have several true disciples who were true disciples, they all have their own inheritance, forming the influence of the entire Mei Sect all over the country.

It was also because Mei Lanfang was so famous back then that half of the people who sang in Tsing Yi learned the Mei School singing style. The inheritance methods of various drama schools further broke the master-disciple model.

Although they do not have a clear teacher, it cannot be said that what they sing is not from the Mei School. It does not matter whether it is authentic or not, the key is to see whether the audience likes it or not.

In fact, after the liberation, there were Peking Opera troupes all over the country, and the specific Peking opera schools had long been confused. They were no longer as distinct as before the liberation. It was not taboo at all for Qingyi to learn the singing style of the Mei School.

However, later on, the Peking Opera market continued to shrink step by step. There was only so much food. If you took one more bite, there would be less for others. There was acrimony between each other, and then the various factions were picked up again.

In fact, even Li Shengsu didn't learn opera from Mr. Mei since he was a child. He only officially became a member of Mr. Mei after he became famous.

After all, opera singing is a very traditional business, and many people who work in this industry are still a little nostalgic.

Therefore, people who sing in Tsing Yi usually say that they sing in the Mei style, which just shows your singing style. But people generally don't claim to be the successors of the Mei Sect. After all, the Mei Sect is really an orderly inheritance.

It's like practicing Shaolin Kung Fu, but it's okay to say that you are a descendant of Shaolin, let alone speak on behalf of the Shaolin sect. As for whether you can form your own sect, that's up to the audience to decide.

Today is Wang Xu's engagement, which is considered a big day, but after all, Wang Xu has not officially become a disciple, and Mr. Mei did not come. He only sent his eldest disciple, Senior Sister Li, to congratulate and watch the ceremony.

Among the guests, the most famous one should be Wang Xu's mother's teacher, Mrs. Luo Yusheng.

Wang Xu is actually very familiar with the old lady. It can't even be described as familiar, that is, she is a grandma.

After all, he was his mother's teacher, the kind who would just call him master. Moreover, the relationship between masters and disciples in the past was really not much different from the relationship between mother and daughter, father and son, that is, they were relatives. The old lady also loved Wang Xu very much. Didn't she say that he had been particularly popular with middle-aged and elderly women since he was a child?

When Wang Xu was a child, he often went to the old lady's house to have dinner, and he also learned a lot of drum singing from the old lady.

Even after he went to college, Wang Xu often went to Grandma Luo's house. He took Wang Fei to visit her twice, but he lived far away, so he didn't move around very frequently.

Grandma Luo is old, almost 80, but she is still in good health. It is said that she can also sing the lantern drum, which is a unique skill in this industry. Wang Xu’s mother can barely sing, but she has never reached the level of Grandma Luo. Require.

This time Grandma Luo sat for a while, looked at the young couple happily together, said a few words of blessing, sent a picture with the words "flying together", and left. She didn't like places that were too busy, let alone The old lady had never been to a place like a bar in her life.

The calligraphy was written by the old lady herself. The old lady was old and originally small. However, she looked like an extremely ordinary little old lady. But she is very energetic and in good health. Her handwriting is wide open and closed, which is quite visually impactful. It looks like the handwriting of a man who hides his arrogance.

This is a strong portrayal of the old lady's life, and it is also a blessing to Wang Xu and his wife. This "flying together" does not have the lingering feeling of a young man and a woman, but more like "a roc rises in the same wind in one day, soaring ninety thousand miles." ." The generosity and heroism.

"Grandma Luo is so interesting. It feels like you are really going to fly when you write about flying together." Wang Fei looked at the unfolded scroll and said thoughtfully.

"Grandma Luo just wants us to fly, and we should fly together. The higher we fly, the better. The old lady is not the type to stick to a small world. She hopes that we will soar into the sky in our lifetime." Wang Xu also Somewhat emotional, Mrs. Luo was very open-minded in her approach to things.

Just like Han Deng Dagu has no successor, she is not worried at all. She bluntly said that these are just skills. When they are useful, people will naturally pick them up. If they are useless, they will naturally die. If there are people who listen to the Dagu book, then sing it. , if no one listens, then change it.

Maybe one day some young people will fall in love with this art, pick it up, and promote it. Maybe she just stumbled and fumbled along the way. It's just a craft. If there are people who like it, someone will learn it. Otherwise, You won’t learn well if you force others to learn.

Wang Xu didn't care if there was any connotation in it, but it did mean it. He especially appreciated the old lady's mentality. Things that young people think are vulgar now may not be considered trendy twenty years from now.

Mei Lanfang also sang in fashion dramas back then. The so-called opera tunes that came later were actually inspired by various traditional arts. Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years.

The popularity of Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan music, Ming and Qing novels has been changing, but thousands of years later, Tang poetry and Song poetry are still brilliant. Every era has the essence of each era. Just keep good records. Naturally, people who want to listen to them will read them in the future. If something is taken out and exposed to the light of day, it may one day become popular again.

The classic duet project sponsored by Wang Xu was the realization of his idea. While the artists of the older generation are still there and can still sing, they should be completely preserved to give their predecessors a memory and give an explanation to future generations.

For example, the blind man A Bing who wrote "Er Quan Ying Yue" cannot reproduce more than a dozen of his equally famous music at that time because of the backwardness of various equipment in that era.

Only "The Moon Reflects on the Second Spring", "Listening to the Pines", "Cold Spring Wind and Rain" and a few pipa songs have been preserved using wire recorders. It is really sad to think about it.

However, because of this project, Wang Xu is quite popular in the entire music industry. Today, Wang Fei only invited her teacher Professor Jin.

But in the end, more than a dozen people came. Well, people in the entertainment industry like to join in the fun, and those who have none will join in. It's just a normal operation. Didn't you see that Wang Xu held several small gatherings, which eventually turned into big parties?

Teacher Gu, Sister Mao, etc. all came, and of course Yan Weiwen, who sang "One Two Three Four" which is very popular recently.

Of course, Wang Fei's best friends also came, and among them there was someone who Wang Xu didn't expect to attend, which made Wang Xu very strange.

That is, Daejeon Jin, the eldest sister of the imperial capital music scene at the moment, um, yes, he is the eldest sister of the imperial capital singing circle. Even though she has no works at the moment, most of the tapes she records are covers. She has not got rid of the party singer. Hat, but she is the eldest sister in the imperial capital.

The simple reason why she is the eldest girl in the music industry is that she is from Imperial City and graduated from the High School Affiliated to Imperial University. No matter how she speaks or behaves, she fits the mold of a big girl in Imperial City.

Not to mention Wang Fei, she is now an international superstar. People in the imperial capital subconsciously ignore that she is originally from the imperial capital. No one in the music critic circle will compare her with singers of her generation. It seems too unfair.

The deeper reason is that this person has a straightforward personality, and his singing has a rock and roll rebellious feel. His personality is particularly attractive to the young people in the imperial capital at the moment.

At the moment, she mainly travels around. There are a lot of business performances in the imperial capital, especially various small parties, which she attends frequently.

Wang Xudu still remembers the way he performed in student uniform in the 1980s. His style was very manly, so he could really be considered a singer with great appeal in the imperial capital.

Speaking of which, Na Gege is really not as famous as Tian Zhen at the moment, especially in the Imperial Capital. She even went to Wanwan to record a record, but it didn't make her an instant hit.

Na Gege went to Wanwan this year. This time, with Qiu Likuan and Sister Qiu taking care of her, things went much smoother than in her previous life, and she encountered a lot less trouble, but that was all.

Her first CD has just been released, and the sales are not bad. This is her opportunity to truly transform into a recording singer.

But the people in the Imperial City are actually quite good at listening to music. They are not as obsessed with Hong Kong and Taiwan songs as in southern cities. On the contrary, they have a soft spot for all kinds of local original things. This is why the people in the Imperial City are now Become a gathering place for rock and roll.

There are also various northwest wind songs, which have a particularly broad audience in the imperial capital. The streets were once filled with various versions of "Loess High Slope" and "Xintian You". Tian Zhen relied on his smokey voice to perform the northwest wind with special flavor. Very popular.

In fact, Na Gege also became famous because of the northwest wind. Teacher Gu gave her the song "Shangougou", which made her stand out. However, Teacher Gu doesn't like her very much. He always feels that she has low emotional intelligence, always offends people, and rarely sings to her.

Everyone has someone who is close to them, and this is also true for various circles in the imperial capital's music industry. Tian Zhen's circle and Na Gege's circle are not the same circle.

But these two people are very funny, and no matter what happens in the future, they are both in trouble at the moment.

Na Gege's route is actually an upper-class route, belonging to the academic school, but because of her uprightness and low emotional intelligence, she lives on the fringes and is not well received by the academic school.

Tian Zhen, on the other hand, takes a lower-level route and is a member of the rock underground, but he is also on the fringes because of his uprightness and low emotional intelligence. Although she has a few friends in the rock industry, basically no one really helps her.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been singing for so many years and still have no songs of my own.

Although the two of them in their previous life were hyped up by the media all day long, in fact, they had barely met each other, were not good friends, and were not in the same circle at all.

Unexpectedly, we would meet Wang Xu earlier in this life because of him. The encounters in life are really interesting.

Tian Zhen was brought in by Lao Cui. Lao Cui and Wang Xu can be considered friends. Whether it is the relationship with Compass or their personal relationship, Wang Xu's engagement will naturally be a big deal for the rock circle. A message.

Well, there's no formal invitation. We don't pay much attention to that in this day and age. Just a phone call and that's it.

Lao Cui likes Tian Zhen very much. They have known each other for many years and have performed together countless times. They often appear at the same time in various performances organized by the famous musician Guo Feng.

This time they were performing at the same time, so I brought her along to introduce her to the famous Dong Si Wang Er.

Then, Tian Zhen got to know Na Gege and the others. They were both from the north. One was from the Imperial City who had lived in the Northeast, and the other was from the Northeast. They also liked smoking, drinking and playing mahjong. They became friends and it went so smoothly that Wang Xu was a little stunned.

Okay, looking at the two future queens accompanying each other, Wang Xu could only wish them well and was unable to complain. Well, he didn't intend to complain either. That's a good thing.

Wang Xu said that the subsequent breakup between the two of them was purely due to their immature business operations, and they suffered the loss of not having an agent.

You see, the entertainment circles of later generations respect each other, open their mouths as teachers, and shut up their seniors. It seems to be peaceful. It is all done by business. Even if there is a conflict, it is done secretly. How can it be like this era? Just do it with real swords and guns.

An important reason why Wang Xu likes the music scene of this era is that now you can really see what everyone's personality is like.

It’s hard to say in Xiangjiang, but there are celebrities from the Mainland. Basically, passers-by can roughly tell who they are.

Many singers have good songs, but everyone who listens to them knows that they are not good. Many people in the rock circle are like this. Therefore, it is difficult to have any additional emotions such as worship or idol. On the contrary, there is a sense of pride in knowing the details of these people.
