Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapter very envious
Not long ago, Lu Chen appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States. With his current status and influence, he is fully qualified to appear in any domestic newspapers and magazines.
In fact, during this period of time, Chenfei Media has received countless interview requests from major media, but "People's Music" is different. It represents the official and orthodox mainstream and will never be star-chasing like ordinary media.
The reason why Lu Chen attracted the attention of "People's Music" was because he composed and sang "Pearl of the Orient" for the Hong Kong Return Celebration Party at the end of last month.
This song, sung by Lu Chen, Filia Chen, Liu Gangsheng and Shi Fang, has now been widely sung and has had a very far-reaching and huge influence.
The spiritual connotation and thoughts contained in "Pearl of the Orient" have actually transcended the realm of pop music. Its melody and lyrics have resonated with millions of people in Hong Kong!
The day after the celebration party, Xiangjiang Satellite TV conducted random interviews on the streets of Xiangjiang. As a result, everyone who watched the party, except foreign tourists, was full of praise for this song.
It is said that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government intends to designate "Pearl of the Orient" as a patriotic song for Hong Kong and include it in the music teaching materials for primary and secondary school students.
Therefore, the positive impact of "Pearl of the Orient" could not be ignored by "People's Music" and it sent a senior reporter to interview Lu Chen.
In fact, although Lu Chen has created extraordinary achievements in the field of pop music, he also has works with main themes, such as "I Love You China", "Beautiful Grassland My Home", etc., which naturally attract topics in the mainstream.
"I think pop music, traditional music and main melody music are never antagonistic. In fact, a lot of pop music refers to the essence of national music..."
Speaking to Tan Ling, a reporter sent by "People's Music", Lu Chen spoke eloquently: "The main melody works can also integrate bel canto, popular and national singing methods. Only by carefully interpreting the connotation of the song will it definitely make the audience love it."

"People's Music" interviewed Lu Chen on a large topic, covering all aspects of current domestic pop music, traditional music, and main melody music.
A few years ago, domestic pop music could be described as frivolous and impetuous. There were fewer and fewer original masterpieces. Plagiarism, imitation and following the trend were very serious. European, American, Japanese and Korean music flooded the market.
Lu Chen's rise to prominence in the Chinese pop music scene can be said to have changed the situation to a great extent. First of all, the folk style he brought in has injected a breath of fresh air into the music scene, greatly enhancing the status of original creations.
Over the past few years, Lu Chen has been leading Chinese pop music on a healthy and positive path. Inspired by his success, a number of outstanding writers, singer-songwriters have emerged.
Therefore, Lu Chen is fully qualified to speak on this issue.
Compared with pop music, theme music, and traditional music, the situation is actually worse and even embarrassing. Young people who grew up in the new era don't like it, and not many people are willing to listen to it. The latter two can only rely on the power of the government to maintain their existence.

The issue between pop music and main melody music and traditional music has long been one of the focuses of debate between musicians and music critics. Some people exaggerately believe that it is the impact of a large number of cookie-cutter pop music that purely pursues auditory pleasure on the market.
This is an important reason for the decline of main melody music and traditional music.
Considering the situation a few years ago, this argument is not unreasonable.
Lu Chen is one of the very few singer-songwriters in China who has spanned two major fields, and he has achieved great success.
On this big question, his answer is absolutely impeccable.
Lu Chen does not deny the problems of pop music, nor is he taboo about the difficulties faced by main melody music and traditional music, but he does not criticize harshly like many people do, but puts forward his own ideas and solutions.
There are 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 was interviewed by Tan Ling, he did not know her interview questions, so it was impossible for anyone to prepare answers for Lu Chen in advance. His answers were obviously the result of careful consideration.
This made Tan Ling appreciate the young man in front of her even more.
She smiled and said: "Thank you, let's take a rest first and let me think about a few more issues."
Lu Chen smiled: "Okay..."
After a pause, he asked again: "Reporter Tan, how are you doing, Brother Tan?"
This question was very abrupt, but Tan Ling smiled and said: "He couldn't be doing better now. He drinks tea and chats with friends every day, and occasionally goes fishing. He is really enjoying life!"
Lu Chen sighed: "It makes me very envious!"
"Then don't..."
Tan Ling smiled and said: "He has 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 she was not a biological sister, but a cousin.
At the beginning, Lu Chen didn't know that it was Tan Ling who broke the news herself.
Tan Hong and Lu Chen are both teachers and friends, and everyone knows the friendship between them. With this relationship, this interview does not seem so serious, and is much more relaxed and enjoyable.
While they were talking and laughing, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.
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, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare.
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, our company's new signee, and this is Reporter Tan."
Tong Xinyao politely bowed to Tan Ling and greeted: "Hello, Teacher Tan."
Tan Ling stood up, shook hands with her, and said with a smile: "Miss Tong is so beautiful, even more beautiful than in the photo. Speaking of which, my daughters are all your fans!"
"ah?"
Tong Xinyao couldn't believe it and said with a smile: "That's really my honor."
Lu Chen asked: "Xin Yao, what can I do for you?"
Tong Xinyao said quickly: "Mr. Lu, I'm going to Shanghai to promote tomorrow, so I would like to invite you and Sister Fei'er to have a meal together in the evening. I wonder if you are free."
"night?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I was thinking of inviting Reporter Tan to have dinner with me, so you'll pay the bill."
Tong Xinyao was pleasantly surprised: "That's great!"——
