Perfect Life

Thursday, June 29, 1998.

an ordinary day.

Office workers are still rushing around on buses and subways that have been in operation for a few years. The students are already preparing to enter the final exam and are intensively reviewing. The third-year students in high school and junior high school are slightly special, because they are about to face the college entrance examination and the senior high school entrance examination. Just as parents are asking for a little break, in a few days, they will all have a long two-month vacation.

Even for many senior high school students, after taking the college entrance examination, it means that the school stage of life will be completely over, and they will find their first job in life.

But for the media, especially the entertainment media, as well as China's film and television industry, today is a special day.

The three-year-old drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is finally about to start.

From the initial conception, approval, script writing, and new studio of this play, to the establishment of the director team, to the selection of actors nationwide, the entire crew was officially established, and all the way to the shooting period, it has always been at the height of the domestic media. Under the lock of attention and intensive reports, every new action will become the focus of entertainment.

The attention of the media means the attention of the public.

The influence of the masterpiece "Three Kingdoms" is absolutely unparalleled in China, and even in the entire Chinese cultural circle and the entire East Asian cultural circle. If we only discuss the category of novels and stories, it can definitely surpass the story of the Water Margin rebellion, the story of Ximen Qing's Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian, and even Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace can't compare to it.

Examining the five thousand years of Chinese civilization history and rummaging through all written works, only two books, The Analects of Confucius and Tao Te Ching, have been able to stabilize the popularity and influence of this novel.

Perhaps, for the vast majority of ordinary people, even the Tao Te Ching cannot compare with its influence.

Cao Cao. Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Lü Bu, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu. Lu Su, Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Pang Tong. Fa Zheng, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, Zhang Liao...

This half-historical and half-romance novel, perhaps purely on academic value, is not comparable to "Water Margin" or "Journey to the West", "Jin Ping Mei" and other works, but one of the wonderful characters one after another started from historical facts. , spread in the mouth. It was practiced in pen and ink, and finally deeply engraved in the minds of the entire Chinese nation. Almost every Chinese person can mention the first two paragraphs, and discuss one or two with others with reason.

Even, many of the characters in this famous novel are relatively crudely described. They are all familiar to many Chinese people, such as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who are beautiful and heroic, such as Mrs. Gan, who is known in history as "white as jade", such as Luoshen Zhen Mi, who was eagerly grabbed by Cao Pi, and Xiahou Dun who has cut his ears and a single eye. And "there are no generals in Shu, Liao Hua is a pioneer"...and so on.

To a certain extent, it can be said that he is the first history education that almost every Chinese can receive.

Therefore, the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", from the relevant leaders of the propaganda and radio and television departments, to the entertainment circle, and down to the ordinary audience, seems to be a bit extraordinarily important.

Especially when the time entered June, Huaxia TV station launched an overwhelming publicity for this TV series. The various channels of their own TV station were originally expensive advertisements, and they began to smash them desperately without money. TV stations, under the strong institutional influence of Huaxia TV, have also begun to be flooded with publicity, speculation and discussions about this TV series to a certain extent.

Even among the people, this TV series is gradually becoming a hot topic of discussion among ordinary people after dinner and during work breaks.

Can it truly restore those wonderful stories in the original work?

Can the actors perform the peerless demeanor of those strategists and generals?

I hope the so-called TV series will not ruin this great book!

…………

And so on, and so on.

The cast list has already been revealed, and now the increasingly developed media and media have begun to count the origins, origins, and past of the main role-players in this drama two or three weeks before the broadcast. The roles that have appeared in the past, the evaluations obtained, etc., together with the make-up photos released by the crew, newspapers and magazines, have sold well.

Just looking at the makeup photos, it can be said that the evaluation is generally positive.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun... On the whole, the choice of this group of actors and their appearances can generally meet the psychological expectations of the audience, at least they will not be evaluated as too bad. In particular, the costumes, props and art make-up of this show have been praised by a considerable number of historians as "generally near here", and some scenes and stills released by the crew in advance also show that this TV series has a very strong " Sense of history".

The reason is actually very simple. For the whole play, from the beginning of the filming concept to the final editing, from the beginning to the end, more than 40 famous domestic historians have been invited to participate in it. It is strange that there is no sense of history. !

At that time, everyone knew that no matter whether it was a makeup photo or a still photo, it could not fully represent the image created by the actors, nor could it represent the specific quality of the play, how well the actors performed, and how good the play was. We still have to wait for the TV series to actually be staged before we can evaluate one or two.

Then, waiting, waiting, talking, talking, June 29, finally came.

This night, I dare not say that there are thousands of people, but at least, the audience who are willing to sit in front of the TV is more than 30% higher than usual, and more than half of them are directly locked in a set of programs of Huaxia TV.

…………

For the music circles that are not relatively closely related and are not absolutely closely connected, the launch of Huaxia TV's annual historical drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also one of the major focuses in the near future.

This music circle refers to the overall music circle, which includes major domestic art groups: song and dance troupes, orchestras, record companies, major art and music schools, and a large number of musicians, music critics People, etc. The concept of the so-called pop music world is much smaller than the concept of the music circle. It's just a part of the music scene.

For the entire music circle, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also a big event.

Since the filming concept of this play was proposed, there have been many famous and non-famous musicians in the industry, especially major music colleges and universities, who are discussing the idea of ​​the soundtrack for this play, and when the play really starts construction . Major record companies have begun to come to the door one after another, striving to win the soundtrack of this influential annual drama.

And at the same time, headed by the chief producer and chief director Feng Yumin, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" crew also visited a number of well-known domestic musicians and composers, and once tried to convene these big figures to temporarily set up a soundtrack team. Strive to come up with a soundtrack of sufficient quality for this drama.

For a long period of time, the industry has been discussing who should pick the lead in the soundtrack of this play. One after another, famous musicians who are well-known in the music industry and even enjoy a high reputation in the world have been mentioned one after another. The gorgeous and blinding master-level soundtrack team and the composition of the theme song of the episode have also been imagined and pinched by professionals in the industry in discussions again and again.

However, when the dust settled, countless people were surprised to find that the crew of this play finally chose a record company called "Minghu Culture" to undertake the soundtrack!

And his lead soundtrack. And the creator of the theme song and episode is Li Qian.

Once the news came out, it's hard to say that the entire music circle was in an uproar, but at least a lot of musicians were stunned.

Li Qian is very popular, everyone knows him.

Although the pop music scene is only a part of the music circle, it is the largest connection window opened by the music circle to the outside world and the general public. More than 95% of the audience are the audience of popular songs, and less than 1% of the audience are Little or no pop music is heard. Mainly listening to symphony and concerts.

Even the most old-fashioned and traditional musicians cannot ignore the existence of pop music.

Therefore, with Liao Liao, Wuxing Wusu, He Runqing, and the four beauties becoming popular in the north and south, Li Qian is the chief producer and first talent in the industry. It's getting bigger and louder. In the relatively closed traditional music industry, as well as in the political, ethnic, military and other music circles, that is, in the music circle outside the pop music circle, Li Qian has also become very famous.

No matter whether you approve of his music or not, you are no longer qualified to say that his music is not good, because people all over the country think it is. His music is great!

Furthermore, the principal of the highest institution in the domestic music industry, who is one of the leaders of the entire music circle, would issue an invitation to "Come and be a professor" to Li Qian, a 20-year-old boy who is still in college.

But... this is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

It's okay to say other ordinary historical dramas, such a big drama, such a big drama that is expected by the whole country and has a different meaning to the Chinese, but actually found a 20-year-old boy to oversee the music. business!

Many people are dissatisfied and questioned from the bottom of their hearts!

Acknowledging Li Qian's status and strength in the pop music world is one thing, acknowledging his status and strength in the music industry as a whole is another matter, and you will know after a little thought that a political and military drama like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he The required soundtrack must be based on majestic, elegant, mighty, and tragic melodies. This is definitely not something that someone who has only done popular songs for a few years can easily pick up!

To take over the soundtrack of this play, there are those famous international musicians and composers in China!

You know, it is said that when they were working hard to win the soundtrack of this play, whether it was Sony, Xinda, or Huage, Dongfang, Asia and other record companies, they all contacted the famous masters in the industry. And promised to give priority to them to undertake the soundtrack and songwriting work of the entire TV series.

But in the end, the soundtrack of this play was completed by a 20-year-old boy!

Because orchestras, folk bands, etc. joined the recording successively, and many musicians and singers also joined to sing the theme song and episode of this TV series, the industry more or less began to understand Li Qian's soundtrack ideas. , Although the people who participated in the related soundtrack work have signed a non-disclosure agreement in advance, this kind of agreement has always only been able to take care of the main things and dare not be circulated at will, but it is impossible to keep all the details secret. Even so, there are still countless musicians and composers in the industry, who have given great doubts about the quality of the soundtrack of the whole play.

To put it simply, Li Qian's age, experience, achievements, and status are not enough to give people enough confidence to believe that he can do a good job in the soundtrack of this play.

Although the people in the industry who have participated in the soundtrack of this play, including Lu Shuming (Cheng Suping's mother) and other composers, have given great affirmation to the play's soundtrack and lyrics, and this play In an interview, Feng Yumin, the chief producer and chief director, also repeatedly emphasized that he firmly believes that Minghu Culture and Li Qian can do a good job of soundtracking and writing lyrics for this play, but it is useless, and I have not seen the real thing , If you don't hear it with your own ears, you should still doubt it!

And now, finally, the play is going to air.

No matter what he praised, praised, questioned, or slandered, everything will finally be revealed.

So it is conceivable that nearly the entire music circle is collectively paying attention to the start of the first episode of this TV series. Speaking of the soundtrack, the first episode may only be the first episode, and it is not yet possible to complete the soundtrack for the entire play. In conclusion, but the overall style and ideas must have come out, which can already be used by experts to get a glimpse of the leopard.

In particular, the theme song and ending song of this play are definitely coming out!

Moreover, if this drama is relatively in line with the original work, many people speculate that the first episode should be in Taoyuan, and those who are familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms and this book know that this drama is the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The starting point and the power point, so an episode is probably inevitable!

Well, this time it's only the first episode, and there must be three songs.

Now let's see what level Li Qian can come up with!

…………

Because the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is already a very popular topic among the whole people, and Li Qian is a very popular popular figure, so Li Qian played the role of Sun Ce in the play, and Li Qian was in charge of the whole TV series. The composition of the theme song, interlude and soundtrack has long been a very public news.

For Li Qian's fans, fans, and his "brothers", looking forward to Li Qian's music, and looking forward to Li Qian's Sun Ce, has become a very important part of the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". reason.
