This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 985: Follow Me with Gun in Hand (asking for monthly ticket)

By the time Zhao Jiping arrived, Hao Yun had already become part of the Music Association's big family.

One reason is the appreciation he received from music masters such as Min Huifen.

Hao Yun is not a boastful person. What he says has substance, especially when he attributes other people's attributes to himself.

Secondly, Hao Yun is indeed preparing a movie related to folk music.

This is a rare event for folk music.

There are a lot of swindlers these days. They dare to cheat people just by taking a few photos with successful people.

But Hao Yun is obviously different.

He may even have a finished script in his hands.

Especially after learning about Hao Yun's status in the director industry, the success of "Whiplash" has made everyone more looking forward to Hao Yun's new film.

After the meeting officially started, basically everything in the front had nothing to do with Hao Yun.

What concerns him is the election phase.

Zhao Jiping was elected as the new Bamboo Chair of the Music Association by the Board of Directors with an overwhelming majority of votes, and then he nominated the candidate for Deputy Bamboo Chair.

In addition, there are consultants, honorary chairmen, etc.

Before the voting, Zhao Jiping had a session to introduce the deputy bamboo seat, which was considered as helping to canvass votes.

When it was Hao Yun's turn, Zhao Jiping obviously spent longer time introducing himself than the other candidates for the vice-chair position.

First, I introduced Hao Yun’s creative resume.

The focus is on his soundtracks, several of which have been selected by institutions such as the Central Conservatory of Music and musical troupes, and performed in many concert halls at home and abroad.

Now when the name is mentioned, many people will suddenly understand.

It turns out that he created it.

Many soundtracks have been selected by well-known directors at home and abroad as film soundtracks.

This is not low.

Zhao Jiping is a master of film music composition. The fact that he was selected as a member of the Music Association shows that he has a high status in film music composition.

Of course, Teacher Zhao did not forget to help Hao Yun brag about his Grammy achievements.

Hao Yun is the first Chinese to win a Grammy Award twice.

The Chinese are different from the Chinese.

There is also the singles chart of Miguo Billboard.

Two songs from Hao Yun's new album made the list.

The song "Shape of You" successfully entered the Billboard Hot 100, reaching its highest point at number four, and is still on the chart.

Another song "See You Again" was equally successful, topping the music charts in many countries including the UK, Australia, and Germany, and its best result on the Billboard Hot 100 was fifth place.

This list is of great value.

The first Asian to enter the list was Japanese singer Sakamoto Maru in 1963, whose song "Sukiyaki" topped the Billboard Hot for three consecutive weeks.

Another song, "Chinese Night", also entered the Billboard Hot 58 at No. .

His two songs were later covered by many European and American singers, including Anita Mui and Chen Shuhua from Hua Xia.

Then there are the Japanese girl group Pink Lady and the Japanese band YMO, but neither of them made it to the top of the list.

The most recent is the popular girl group Wonder Girls, who entered the Billboard Hot 76 at No. with the song "NOBODY".

Hao Yun entered with two songs, one fourth and one fifth.

If it were a European or American pop singer, and with enough publicity, these two songs would probably stay at the top of the charts for more than ten weeks [Note 1].

Hao Yun has broken many records in the pop music scene.

It's a pity that his mind was not on music, so he neither cooperated with the record company in promoting the album during its release phase, nor did he show off after the song reached the top.

The singer Felix is ​​even more mysterious and low-key than Sia Fuller.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal.

At most, there is a guy called Hao Yun who has a yellow skin and a white heart. He is very good at writing English songs. As a Chinese, he gave himself an English name and became popular in Europe and the United States with his English songs.

Musicians who are more tolerant would think that Hao Yun is quite amazing.

Some conservative people may misunderstand Hao Yun because of this.

Fortunately, Zhao Jiping did not fail to praise Hao Yun's new album, which ranked 32nd on the Billboard album chart. This is also Hao Yun's first album to be listed on the Billboard.

Not all the songs on the album are in English.

There are Mandarin songs such as "Beijing Welcomes You", "Actors", "A Kiss for the End of Time" and "A Glimpse of Beauty", as well as Cantonese songs such as "Naked" and "Angkor Wat".

There are also several pieces of pure music, many of which reflect Chinese elements.

These Chinese songs are forced sales. If you buy Hao Yun’s new album, you have to buy the Chinese songs.

Now that I've bought it...

Then give it a listen, it really has some brainwashing effect.

Anyway, as Hao Yun's album sales increased in Europe and the United States, these Chinese songs also spread.

There are more and more foreigners on the Internet who can sing a few lines or speak a few words in Chinese.

Isn’t this a form of cultural communication?
After the introduction, Zhao Jiping also talked about the reasons why he nominated Hao Yun.

That's a musical movie.

Concerts and musicals have actually developed quite well, with performances taking place almost every day in major cities.

Unfortunately, the music is too highbrow and not appreciated by the general public.

Therefore, Zhao Jiping hoped that Hao Yun could combine music and movies for promotion.

This is a long and arduous task, but any positive and meaningful attempt should be given exceptional support.

With such strong "endorsement" from Teacher Zhao, Hao Yun and other vice-chair candidates were all passed with high votes in the subsequent election process.

Nothing unexpected happened.

In fact, as long as it is not too outrageous, it is difficult to be nominated and not selected.

After all, there are only 14 deputy seats, and only 14 candidates were nominated today.

Only when a candidate does not receive a certain percentage of votes will a new candidate emerge.

The vice-chairmen who were selected also came on stage and delivered speeches one by one. "Everyone here is my senior, my teacher!"

"My education experience was rather bumpy. I didn't know how to work hard when I was young, but I worked hard later. I started learning music when I was around 20 years old. I studied music theory with teacher Li Meng, who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, and learned guitar, guzheng, drums, and piano. I also learned suona and erhu from a folk musician..."

“While learning the instrument, I wrote the script for Whiplash, which led to some success. I began to think about the connection and promotion between film and music.”

“I think movies cannot be separated from music, and music can also be used as a carrier for movies.”

"Thank you for not looking down on me because I am young and ignorant, and for supporting my idea of ​​a musical film and giving me a chance to try."

"In the Music Association, I am just a learner, an explorer..."

"I have only studied for a short time, my knowledge is not solid enough, and I am reckless, but being young has its advantages. At least I am energetic and strong. When I need young people to work hard, please don't hesitate to help me."

“Thank you all again, I hope the Music Association will get better and better!”

Hao Yun didn't say much, but his words were clear and most importantly, he kept a very humble attitude.

The other deputy bamboo seats are not as shameless as him.

They are all famous musicians, and none of them are any worse than the others, so they simply cannot bow down.

However, Hao Yun made it clear that he was just a rookie.

This is the best choice. He is young and is from the pop music field, so there is really no need for him to emphasize his position as deputy bamboo mat.

Gun in hand, follow me, kill Ji Ping, and rob the blockhouse.

No one would form cliques with him, and Zhao Jiping, the "mentor" would instead be wary of him.

It's just right now.

There was warm applause from the audience, and a staff member handed the appointment letter of deputy bamboo seat to Hao Yun with both hands.

He picked up the certificate, which officially marked him as the vice-chairman of the Music Association.

After Hao Yun finished the conference, someone found him and reissued his Music Association membership card.

It is stamped with the seal of Fu Gengchen, the previous head of the Music Association.

Hao Yun was probably the last member of the Music Association approved by Fu Gengchen.

General Fu is the director of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe and the president of the PLA Art Academy. Hao Yun also met him at today's venue and received a long speech of encouragement from him.

In general, I met a lot of big guys today.

The attitude towards him is pretty good.

Of course, the value of the Music Association membership certificate is not as high as the deputy bamboo chair appointment letter, but it is also a rare status, and most people cannot join even if they want to.

Open the treasure chest of the Music Association member first. If nothing goes wrong, you will get a medium-quality treasure chest.

But what came out was very interesting.

a book!

Book: A Guide to Writing Popular Songs.

It seemed that he felt that the thesis was not worthy of his position as deputy bamboo mat leader, so it was okay to just give him a book.

I just don't know if there is any publishing house willing to publish it.

I don’t even know whether students working in this field will buy this book if it is published.

Hao Yun didn't have much hope of getting the music association membership card.

Initially, the Directors Guild only gave a membership card with a capacity of 300 points. This time, there are 500 points, which is already very good.

The key point is still the appointment letter of deputy bamboo mat.

At first, Hao Yun was quite worried whether this letter of appointment could be considered a certificate.

After all, it is a time-sensitive thing.

When the next Zhu Xi comes to power, Hao Yun might be fired.

As for the next person to take over Zhao Jiping's job and run a music association, Hao Yun is not so ignorant of the immensity of the world.

This time it's all pie in the sky.

The minimum requirement for using a bamboo mat is a stone mill falling from the sky.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "China Musicians Association·Deputy Bamboo Seat Appointment Certificate", which can store 650 attribute points]

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the certificate treasure box (top quality)]

【Open the treasure chest】

[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure chest (superior), and obtaining lyrics and music +10 (permanent), script/soundtrack/music "La La Land"]

As soon as you see the name, you know it is a musical movie.

Not only did they put together a soundtrack compilation, they even helped adapt the musical.

That's so thoughtful.

After Hao Yun finished the seventh meeting of the Chinese Musicians Association and returned home, he discovered that the script of "La La Land" was from abroad.

If he had not been the vice president of the Music Association, he would have gone directly to Hollywood to make this movie.

Maybe he'll win an Oscar.

But he is now the vice president of the Music Association, and what he said cannot be ignored.

Cultural dissemination became his responsibility.

However, Chinese translation is a thankless task. "La La Land" is more difficult to translate into Chinese than "Whiplash".

Fortunately, Hao Yun has translated many foreign films into Chinese, and he has become very proficient at it.

Moreover, he did not expect to translate it completely into Chinese. Judging from the content of the script, it is not very realistic to translate it completely into Chinese, and it will only end up being a hodgepodge.

Hao Yun intends to create a fictional city, or downplay the urban background.

Construct a musical utopia.

Then incorporate some traditional Chinese music elements into it.

As for the style, it must be all about art, photography, art, music, love...

Try it boldly, as long as you don’t lose money, just have fun.

At his level of wealth, there is no need to be cautious about a single movie.
