Superstars of Tomorrow

Wayne said that he was too out of touch, and Fang Zhao was still thinking about it when he went to Qi'an Conservatory of Music the next day.

As a music creator, Fang Zhao will challenge some styles of music that he has never been exposed to and is not good at. People in the music circle will mention Fang Zhao's four-part series of "One Hundred Years of Destruction", which seems to be a success. Fang Zhao's signature music style, the combination of classical and trendy, has led to the formation of a wave of symphonic epic music in the circle that is a perfect fusion of traditional and electronic music.

But whether it is a global lecture tour or a symphonic epic, after a few months, it is gradually forgotten by people. , seems to have found a new attention type.

Fang Zhao's works are classified as academic, and have been praised by many professionals, but they are not very "people-friendly". Xue Jing has already told Fang Zhao about this.

"Academic things are long-lasting and short-lived. They are long-lasting because of their influence and the many meanings about life and history contained in them. , is worth learning for later generations, but it is only limited to the circle of academic music, it cannot be regarded as a pure pop category, and the trend it caused does not last long, which is why it is said to be short-lived.”

As Wei En and Fang Zhao mentioned in the communicator yesterday, reducing the content of traditional instrumental music and increasing the proportion of electronic sound effects is more acceptable to the public in the new century.

Using a more direct expression?

Fang Zhao had studied many popular music in the new century when he created the series "One Hundred Years of Destruction". After that, he combined electronic music with traditional instrumental music.

Fang Zhao understands what Wei En said, but his understanding is not strong enough. Fang Zhao knows that these things cannot be answered in school, just like the "academic" and "liberal" mentioned by Xue Jing. The difference is that "liberals" belong to the category of "non-academics". Professionals in the circle prefer to call "liberals" "street schools", which are more casual, more complicated, and more wild, but at the same time, they are more close to the people , are more easily accepted by the general public.

Fang Zhao was requested by the Qi'an Conservatory of Music to come and teach the students three times a week. On this day, as usual, after the class, he solved some doubts and difficulties encountered by the students.

Why is this class not being delivered online? It is to facilitate the communication between students and teachers and to solve problems conveniently.

Although Fang Zhao's qualifications are far inferior to other teachers in the college, he is very popular and has a high attendance rate every class. Why?

One is that Fang Zhao is indeed capable, and it is not limited to music creation. In addition to the profession of music creator, he is also a department manager of Silver Wing Media. In Silver Wing, this position is already quite high, and many of them have decades People with work experience may not be able to climb to such a height, but everyone also knows that Fang Zhao's success cannot be replicated, and it belongs to the type of coexistence of luck and strength.

Another reason for the high popularity of this class is that Fang Zhao only graduated for more than a year, so he is not much different from the students. He feels easier to get close to, without much sense of distance. It is convenient to solve academic problems and make friends. After the relationship is established, can you give yourself a hand?

Therefore, if there is no way to replicate Fang Zhao's success, then hold on to Fang Zhao's thigh.

Many students don't call Fang Zhao "teacher", but "senior brother", and feel that this title is easier to get close to.

When Wang Die pretended to be a student to investigate Fang Zhao, he also came to Qi'an Conservatory of Music to ask some students about Fang Zhao's impression.

"He's a nice guy. He's very kind. Although he doesn't talk too much and doesn't smile often, he's patient enough. What a kind brother."

This is what Wang Die learned about Fang Zhao from those students, but after knowing the truth, Wang Die especially wanted to say to those students who kept coming to Fang Zhao: What kind of fart! If you know what he looks like on the other side, don't be scared! ?

After Fang Zhao finished his class that day, some students did not leave immediately, but came over to ask Fang Zhao some questions.

"Brother, help me to look at this music score. I always feel that this part needs to be changed, but no matter how I change it, it feels wrong. Here, this is a few versions that have been changed. It sounds wrong. Brother, what do you think about this section, how should I change it? asked a senior student.

Fang Zhao looked at the score, and said, "Here, try lowering it a bit... and then lower it, it's too low... Yes, that's it."

"Hey, it seems to be really different."

After the one was resolved, the people behind immediately squeezed over. Fang Zhao remembered him. This is a sixth-year student who will graduate next year. He recently formed a band with two other classmates. He performed part-time in a nightclub and was currently composing. The music for graduation also seems to have encountered problems.

"Brother, listen to this passage. I think that in order not to repeat the previous one and prevent listening fatigue, an instrument sound should be added. I don't plan to use electronic sounds. I want to change to a traditional instrument. However, traditional instrument music, I'm not very good at it either, I asked a lot of people and changed a lot of instruments, but I can't get the desired effect." The student had a bitter face and scratched his hair, he felt that he had been thinking about this issue for the past two days , The hair on the head has lost a lot.

"Which ones have you chosen?" Fang Zhao asked.

"I have chosen a lot. Oh, by the way, these are the ones I chose. I have saved more than 20 kinds of traditional musical instruments." The student said. In fact, he didn't try all the more than 20 kinds of traditional musical instrument sounds stored, but he just bought them as a package when downloading the sound effects.

Fang Zhao knew that he was not telling the truth when he saw the twinkling eyes of the child when he spoke, but he didn't point it out, but said: "Play the sounds of your more than 20 traditional musical instruments one by one."

"Ah? Oh." The student followed suit.

"Change it, change it again, change it again, change it again... OK, that's it."

"This? I think this is obviously not suitable." The man hurriedly said, he had heard this when he first downloaded the material of the instrument, the trumpet sound, but he immediately ruled it out when he heard it. The timbre of the slag is too sharp, and it obviously doesn't match the music style of the song "Degenerate and Sinking" he created!

"Don't 'what you feel', try to integrate into your works, and tell me your thoughts after listening to it." Fang Zhao said.

"Okay...Okay, that, brother, don't listen to the latter ones anymore? I'll play those for you to listen to, very quickly, don't waste much time. Just a minute!"

The student hurriedly released several stored instrument sounds. He really didn't like the one Fang Zhao chose. The sound of the trumpet was the one he disliked the most.

"How is it?" the student asked expectantly after the release.

"No change." Fang Zhao said.

"...Okay then, I'll go back and try first." The student thanked him helplessly and left.

When Fang Zhao left the classroom, it was past six in the afternoon. He didn't ask Zuo Yu to pick him up today, but let Zuo Yu stare at Wang Die in the game.

After going to the school's staff cafeteria for a simple dinner, Fang hailed a taxi and went to an entertainment venue suggested by Wayne - "space".

"Space" is the name of this nightclub. It is said that it was opened by an electronic music master, and electronic music is mainly used here.

It was only after 7 o'clock when Fang Zhao arrived, which was still very early for people with rich nightlife.

"This is the first time, sir? Are you alone? Do you have any requirements?" A waiter asked Fang Zhao when he led him in.

"Just me, find a place suitable for listening to music." Fang Zhao said.

The waiter paused and looked at Fang Zhao in surprise. Come to the nightclub just to listen to music?

"What?" Fang summoned the waiter to stop and looked over suspiciously.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm sorry, but if you only listen to songs, please go this way." The waiter turned around and led Fang Zhao over.

Just looking at Fang Zhao's age, the waiter thought that Fang Zhao would go to lively places where they could quickly interact with each other like other young people. He is a person who lost his love, failed in his career, encountered setbacks, etc., but this person in front of him doesn't look like he is disappointed. He spends so much money to come to this high-consumption place, just to listen to a few songs, what is the plan? ?

Fang Zhao didn't pay attention to the waiter's strange gaze. A song came from his ears. The electronic sound effect was a beat slower than the fast-paced electronic music popular nowadays, but the rhythm was still strong, and a short rap was added in the middle. The singing style is more casual, and the singer has a bass-like voice, as if chatting.

On the other side of the performing arts hall, under the somewhat cloudy light, young men and women walked around, swaying their bodies to the rhythm, and crossed their eyes as they passed by, revealing mutual tacit smiles. Youthful publicity and recklessness, with a sense of indulgent luxury.

At this time, Fang Zhao really felt: The generation gap is really big!

However, Fang Zhao is a person who dares to practice. In order to create a style of music that is more acceptable to young people in the new century, he is willing to change it.

Or, just like Wayne suggested, learn to be lively, passionate, and flamboyant?

Do you want to go and follow the disco?

Sorry for being unwell and a bit late. Another short chapter.
