Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 325 "So this is a domestically produced Japanese comic!"

"Okay! Continue!"

Professor Yu Zhen nodded, signaling the students to continue their discussion.

If an inappropriate analogy is used.
This is actually a basic relationship where demand determines supply.

Under a society and a national culture.

Although individuals have very different aesthetics and values, they still share a common consciousness.

This awareness determines one's artistic preferences.

"The artistic image that the Xia Kingdom has always presented has been relatively introverted and profound, because only introverted and profound artistic expression can carry the thoughts and philosophies accumulated in the long history of China."

"To give an inappropriate stereotype, when appreciating artworks with Xia Dynasty elements, one might feel that one needs to calm down and carefully experience the aesthetic conception, and might even feel that the painting style has become a landscape painting."

"It's not that this kind of aesthetic and expression is bad, but because the same type is too rampant, the market is full of works of this type, and the collective aesthetic is seeking change."

The students' words immediately resonated with many.

They immediately started chatting, one after another.

change.

This is what society needs.

Since we're all music students, we naturally know why.

Before the rise of pop music in Xia Guo, all works were strictly regulated. Even the slightest hint of romance would be considered a huge problem.

Music once rejected emotional expression, or rather, the emotional expression between men and women.

At this time, a group of senior figures did indeed step forward, risking their own futures to further break these shackles.

For example, Chen Yingna's teacher's group was the main force at that time.

At the time, such a breakthrough was a great thing, because it was about bringing music back to the people and back to the essence of expressing emotions and feelings.

Romantic relationships are the most impactful subject matter.

However, this kind of development has now become a concept abandoned by history.

Originally, all that was needed was to open a channel so that music could carry more emotions, but due to the spring effect, the harder it was compressed, the harder it rebounded. As a result, it ran wildly on the single musical theme of male-female emotions, never to return.

In modern times, it has become a rather distorted music market—the streets are full of love stories, but other emotions and feelings are nowhere to be seen.

"Indeed, it's all sentimental, so sentimental I'm about to throw up."

"Thinking about it carefully, it's true. When there are too many love songs and similar works become rampant, the affected and pretentious parts will naturally become more and more outrageous."

"No matter what musical style it is, it seems that they can't escape the clutches of love songs. Combined with the delicacy and artistic conception that Xia Guofeng is most likely to use, it is very rare for music to have such a strong aggressive creation."

I listened to the discussion among my classmates.

Professor Yu Zhen did not speak, nor did he say who was right or wrong.

The significance of this discussion lies not in the conclusion, but in inspiring students to think independently about art from their own perspectives.

"Of course, this is only one of the reasons. As I said, it needs to be considered in the context of the current social environment."

The students continued to speak.

"In the past, our country was weak and we had to endure everything."

"Artistic expression tends to be introverted, and it needs this introverted spirit to develop steadily and accumulate strength before making a breakthrough."

"But times are changing. In today's society, people are increasingly unwilling to see things accumulate and then suddenly burst forth. Instead, they want to unleash something big all at once after holding back for so long."

"This is true in every field."

"Now, do we still need to project a calm and reserved image? In fact, the need for such an image is gradually decreasing."

"In its place should be a young and passionate image full of vigor and determination."

"This is the origin of aggression."

“I think many young people like electronic, hip-hop, rock, or epic instrumental music not because they are rebellious, but simply because they want to release this pent-up aggressive desire.”

Professor Yu Zhen smiled and nodded.

Being able to connect changes in musical preferences with social changes is a way of thinking.

This principle is actually quite easy to understand.

However, they often find themselves in blind spots.

What do you do if you can't beat someone in a game?
It's definitely going to be a cautious, low-key approach to development.

If you add some appropriate background music at this time, it will definitely be understated and calm. If you play DJ music in this situation, someone will definitely smash your speakers.

But if you've developed your character, are you still going to keep farming minions?
That must be the thrill of battle.

Turn on the stereo, I'm going to fuck him!

Who's playing love songs? Everyone's almost asleep, let's get a little exciting.

This is the need for emotions.

"I must say, Li Can's music has always been very aggressive. Even before he composed music for games, it had a strong sense of exhilarating combat. After composing music for games, this trend became even more pronounced."

"This is not just good luck. Li Can's works clearly express this idea, so he deserves to be popular."

"Indeed, that's the trend in recent years. I'd even bet that in another two or three years, while love songs will still hold the top spot in the market, there will be more and more people who are dissatisfied with love songs and more and more people who are looking for excitement. And these people will be younger."

"Actually, this is also related to the fast pace of modern society. It's much easier to explode with a restless emotion than to soothe it."

"The buffs are maxed out! The market style is too homogeneous, society changes too quickly, and too much emotional buildup will make you sick. Obviously, Dr. Li Can is a miracle worker, treating a serious illness with a serious one?"

"Hahaha, I laughed."

The students' discussion started to go off-topic.

Professor Yu Zhen has truly lived up to his reputation this time.

As the students gradually became more abstract, it seemed as if a serious illness was about to fill the air.

He immediately coughed lightly.

"Each generation has its own way of expressing itself. As times change, the image of Xia Kingdom art is by no means static. Keeping up with the times is the most important thing."

"What art fears most is being confined. Calmness and restraint are two extremes, and we must always pay attention to the balance. Young people should have their own music, and there's nothing wrong with that. Music creation can be even bolder."

Ok?
Grasp the key words.

Students are constantly being educated.

Professor Yu Zhen's intentions were all good, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

However, they did not realize that Li Can's influence in some aspects seemed a bit too strong.

I would never have thought of that.

Today's discussion will contribute new ideas to the major ward.

I don't know about other things, but at least this "being a little bolder" has definitely been remembered by the students.

Some students with practical experience are already eager to try it out.

He was originally a content creator in the anime editing section.

Now I can be completely carefree and let myself go.

After returning to the dormitory.

Deeply moved, the students unanimously opened a collection of works by Li Can.

Experiencing the various style transitions in a state of extreme mental dysphoria, the brain gradually splits into eight parts as well.

Despite causing such a significant impact, Li Can acted as if nothing had happened.

They reunited the entire band and headed to a quieter life together.

When the day arrived, everyone felt a sense of novelty and looked at Li Can in unison.

The sun had just set, and lo and behold, here it comes.

It has a somewhat abstract feel to it, like applying eye drops, much like spending your money and then hitting your child.

It can be considered a different kind of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" approach.

"Won't Chan-ge get killed?"

"No, not at all. There's no rhythm involved. It's just that you know what people are really thinking."

"You know what, it's actually quite exciting. It feels like the room owner is next door, but I'm playing cards with the lady of the house."

"Not only that, but when we came out, the room owner was all smiles and said 'Arigato'."

“Strange, really strange, it’s all the fault of ‘Sunset Over the Waves’.”

Lin Feng and Chen Gang started chirping quietly.

Besides the music festival performances, this trip also included...

Game soundtracks, anime cameos—all of these had to be addressed simultaneously. The trip was conducted discreetly, without much fanfare.

First, I went to the game development studio of Sony's "Eternal Origin" to discuss the tasks and learn about the upcoming promotional content.

Immediately afterwards, they headed to another studio under Sony.

The collaboration on the anime has already been decided.

Pure rock theme.

In order to make money from the anime and manga community, they named it "Girl Rock".

The content is very well done.

There are no romantic entanglements between men and women, nor any scenes that cause stomach aches.

It's simply a story about a group of girls who get together to form a band, the band's growth, their individual growth, and the deepening bonds between them.

There's no shortage of anime featuring bands, whether it's rock-and-roll humor, clashes, collaborations, amazing teamwork, or stage mishaps—enough to easily support a series of ten or more episodes.

Furthermore, band culture is very popular in Japan, and with the added appeal of anime and the "Devil Power" gimmick, even just a teaser could easily become a viral sensation.

Anime as a music-themed work.

Of course, the musical content needs to be taken into account.

Even before Li Can and his group arrived, the initial plot and requirements for the animation had been delivered to Li Can. Based on the requirements, Li Can had already assigned the songs to appear and sent out demos.

This time, the purpose is to create live-action soundtracks for anime that has reached 80% production quality.

after all.

There are many things that just anyone can create.

The director and producer of the anime "Girls Rock" is Junpei Saito.

They can make rock-themed anime.

Besides the fact that Junpei Saito is a first-rate anime director, the most important reason is naturally that he is a seasoned rock music fan.

After receiving news that Li Can and his group were coming, he couldn't sleep most of the night and excitedly went to the airport, where he waited all night.

The moment he saw Li Can and the others, Saito Junpei felt that everything was worth it.

"Li Jun!"

Saito Junpei was not good with words, but he burst forth with tremendous enthusiasm.

Li Can felt that this person's enthusiasm made him think that he was not entirely innocent.

Little did he know that this was already the result of Saito Junpei's best efforts to restrain himself, since being too enthusiastic would be a burden in the local context.

"Welcome to Japan, Mr. Li. Please follow me."

In the paraphrasing of the translation.

Saito Junpei bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle and extended his hand to invite Li Can and his group to get into the business vehicle.

We continued walking until we arrived at the studio.

Saito began to introduce the studio's team.

"This is Takeuchi, this is Yada, this is Lu Xin, and this is Zhao Wen."

"?"

As Saito explained.

A question mark appeared on Li Can's face.

Good guy.

One-third of the people in the entire studio are Chinese.

How come they've all ended up fighting overseas?

"Brother Can!"

Lu Xin was the first to greet them, starting directly in Chinese.

Saito couldn't understand.

This feels very complicated.

Your idol is communicating with your subordinates in their language, which you can't understand at all.

Damn, you're so arrogant!

She glanced helplessly at the translator beside her and realized that the translator seemed even more helpless at that moment.

"Huh? So many Chinese people, I really didn't expect that."

Upon hearing Li Can's words, Zhao Wen chuckled and responded.

"That's normal, Brother Can. Several years ago, all sorts of Chinese people started flocking to the Japanese anime industry. Many of these people went back to China to work independently, and they could even take on outsourcing orders from Japanese anime companies. It's very common."

"."

Li Can fell silent.

I am aware of this matter.

I never imagined it would explode to this extent.

Go abroad and come home with him, yes.

"So, in other words, many Japanese anime and manga in recent years have actually been created with the participation of Chinese people?"

"It's not just that. If you ignore the adaptation of the text and only look at the drawings and storyboards, you could call it a domestic animation."

"?"

"Great, great, great domestic product!"

Li Can smiled.

But before they could even laugh a few times...

Lu Xin then told something even funnier.

"Now many Japanese anime are hiring action directors from China, along with some illustrators. They are also firmly in charge of screenwriting, content adaptation, and music. Now that you're here, Brother Can, the music has become domestically produced."

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Gang and Lin Feng exchanged a glance and laughed first.

The others also wore smiles.

Saito couldn't understand the words, but he could understand the words!
It was obvious that they had a very pleasant conversation.

He immediately began to praise Lu Xin in his heart.

Good lad, I'll give you a red envelope later.

Saito then smiled with satisfaction and relief, nodding and smiling obsequiously.

I don't know what they're laughing at.

But he was definitely laughing.

The translator heard everything and noticed the changes in Saito's expression.

In an instant, his expression turned quite strange.

But in the next instant, they were taken into custody, seemingly afraid of being discovered as abnormal. They understood everything but kept quiet.

Saito didn't introduce himself, and Li Can didn't ask either. Although the translator had taken on a job for Sony and was working in Japan.

But he was actually a person from the Xia Kingdom.

"My lord, what are they talking about?"

Saito asked about the translation in a low voice.

The translator was finally able to smile, which relieved the stiffness in his face.

"Saito-san, Lu is introducing the project team's work history and some industry matters to Li-jun, and they also discussed some future collaboration details. The exchange was very pleasant!"

"Sode snee! Enjoy!"

Saito nodded, then smiled even more.

It was pleasant, of course it was pleasant. Saito saw the pleasure clearly and naturally didn't feel anything unusual.

I was already quite relieved, and now I'm even more relieved.

This is sure!

Start promoting now!
He immediately beckoned to a staff member and quietly gave instructions.

He immediately raised his head, looking at the delightful scene before him with pleasure.
