Not long ago, Lu Chen had just appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States. With his current identity and influence, he was fully qualified to appear in any domestic newspaper or magazine.
In fact, during this period of time, Chen Fei Media had received countless interview requests from various major media, but "People's Music" was different. It represented the official orthodox mainstream, and would never chase stars like ordinary media.
The reason why Lu Chen was able to attract the attention of "People's Music" was because at the end of last month, he wrote and sang "The Pearl of the Orient" for the celebration party of Hong Kong's return.
This song, sung by Lu Chen, Chen Fei 'er, Liu Gangsheng and Shi Fang, had been widely sung and had a very profound and huge influence.
The spiritual connotation and ideas contained in "The Pearl of the Orient" had actually transcended the field of pop music. Its melody and lyrics resonated with tens of millions of people in Hong Kong!
The day after the celebration party, Hong Kong satellite TV conducted random interviews on the streets of Hong Kong. As a result, everyone who watched the party, except for foreign tourists, was full of praise for this song.
It was said that the Hong Kong Special District Government intended to set "The Pearl of the Orient" as a patriotic song of love for Hong Kong and be included in the music textbooks for primary and secondary school students.
Therefore, the positive impact brought about by "The Pearl of the Orient" could not be ignored by "People's Music", so they sent a senior reporter to interview Lu Chen.
In fact, although Lu Chen had created extraordinary achievements in the field of pop music, he also had works with themes, such as "I Love You China", "Beautiful Grassland My Home" and so on. Naturally, there were topics in the mainstream.
"I think pop music, traditional music and theme music have never been opposed. In fact, a lot of pop music refers to the essence of national music …"
In front of Tan Ling, the reporter sent by "People's Music", Lu Chen spoke with confidence and assurance: "Theme works can also combine bel canto, popular, and ethnic singing into one. Only the careful interpretation of the song's connotation can definitely make the audience love it!"
The theme of the interview with Lu Chen by "People's Music" was very big, involving all aspects of current domestic pop music, traditional music, and theme music.
A few years ago, domestic pop music could be said to be vain and impetuous. There were fewer and fewer original works. The phenomenon of plagiarism and imitation was very serious. Music from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea flooded the market.
LuChen has emerged in the Chinese pop music world, which can be said to have changed the situation to a great extent. First of all, the folk song style he brought has injected a clear stream into the music world and greatly enhanced the status of original works. (TN:
Over the years, Lu Chen has been leading Chinese pop music on a healthy and positive path. Inspired by his success, a number of outstanding writers and singers have emerged.
Therefore, on this issue, Lu Chen was fully qualified to speak.
Compared to pop music, the situation of mainstream music and traditional music was even worse and even more awkward. Young people who grew up in the new era did not like them, and not many people were willing to listen to them. As a result, the latter two could only rely on the power of the government to maintain their existence.
The issue between pop music, theme music, and traditional music has long been one of the focuses of debate among musicians and music critics. Some people are extreme that it is the impact of a large number of monotonous pop music that purely pursues auditory pleasure on the market, which is an important reason for the decline of theme music and traditional music.
Combined with the situation a few years ago, this argument is really not without reason.
And Lu Chen is one of the few singers in China who has crossed the two fields, and he has achieved great success.
On this big issue, his answer is absolutely impeccable.
Lu Chen does not deny the problem of pop music, nor does he avoid the dilemma faced by theme music and traditional music. However, he does not criticize them severely like many people, but puts forward his own ideas and solutions.
With examples such as "I Love You China" and "Pearl of the Orient", Lu Chen's answer is naturally very convincing.
Even Tan Ling, who has interviewed many famous musicians and well-known scholars, can't help but secretly marvel.
Before Lu Chen accepted Tan Ling's interview, he did not know her interview questions, so it was impossible for anyone to prepare an answer for Lu Chen in advance. His answer was obviously the result of careful consideration.
This made Tan Ling appreciate the young man in front of her more and more.
She said with a smile, "Thank you. Let's take a break first. Let me think about a few more questions."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay …"
After a pause, he asked, "Reporter Tan, how is Big Brother Tan recently?"
This question was very abrupt, but Tan Ling smiled and said, "He can't be better now. He drinks tea and chats with his friends every day, and occasionally goes fishing. He is really enjoying life!"
Lu Chen sighed, "I'm very envious!"
"Don't …"
Tan Ling said with a smile, "He is retired. Your life has just begun. If you really retire, how many fans will be disappointed!"
The two of them were talking about Tan Hong. Tan Ling was Tan Hong's sister, but not his biological sister, but his cousin.
At first, Lu Chen didn't know it. It was Tan Ling who revealed it herself.
Tan Hong and Lu Chen were teachers and friends. The friendship between the two was well-known. With this relationship, the interview didn't seem so serious, and it was a lot more relaxed and pleasant.
While they were talking and laughing, the door of the room was knocked gently.
Lu Chen turned his head and said, "Come in …"
The door opened and Tong Xinyao poked her head in. When she saw Lu Chen and Tan Ling sitting and talking, she couldn't help but shrink her head. She wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Lu Chen asked doubtfully, "Xinyao, why are you here? Come in and talk. "
Tong Xinyao's pretty face turned red. She nodded quickly and walked in obediently, "Teacher Lu …"
Lu Chen introduced to Tan Ling, "This is Tong Xinyao, a newcomer signed by our company. This is Reporter Tan."
Tong Xinyao politely bowed to Tan Ling and said, "Hello, Teacher Tan."
Tan Ling got up and shook hands with her. She said with a smile, "Miss Tong is so beautiful. You are more beautiful than in the photo. My daughter is your fan!"
"Ah?"
Tong Xinyao couldn't believe it. She said with a smile, "That's really my honor."
Lu Chen asked, "Xinyao, what can I do for you?"
Tong Xinyao quickly said, "Teacher Lu, I'm going to Huhai for publicity tomorrow, so I want to invite you and Sister Fei 'er to dinner in the evening. I don't know if you have time."
"In the evening?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I want to invite Reporter Tan to dinner, so you can pay the bill."
Tong Xinyao was surprised, "That's great!"
