Following Xiao Qian, Li Qingjue and others walking on the pedestrian street, Li Junya was not optimistic about their ideas.
"There are already existing cultural exchange centers and cultural palaces, so what's the use of setting them up?"
Only Xiao Qian could explain this problem to her.
"Ours is completely different from the official cultural exchange center. The official one focuses on orthodox art forms and has an official stance. The activities that can be held there are all biased towards mainstream art. But ours is for folk singers.
, a platform provided by dancers. Here you can freely exchange various music forms, hip-pop, r&b, edm, etc., it doesn’t matter. This is a platform for people who like pop music and is used to develop domestic pop music talents.
place.”
The development of domestic pop music is mainly influenced by foreign influences and followed by learning. The rest is just domestic musicians growing wildly according to their own conditions.
Despite the popularity of pop songs, in daily life, there are few places for musicians to communicate, learn and improve.
In bars, underground bands and other places, the talent pool is uneven and there is a mixed bag of good and bad, and only one out of ten talents can emerge from it.
This is also one of the reasons why domestic pop music has always been so different.
Take South Korea as an example, why can Korean pop music develop so well?
In addition to the Korean pop music industry's emphasis on learning about world trends, there are many places where you can communicate and learn within Korea itself.
How many top singing and dancing singers have come out of the famous Itaewon?
Hongdae, which advocates art and freedom, has cultivated many talented independent singers?
The outside world only sees the gorgeous and mature side of Korean singers after their debut, but they don’t know what kind of tempering and growth they actually experienced before their debut.
Can good singers be cultivated just by being trained by a management company?
This obviously doesn't work.
The cultural exchange center built by Xiao Qian is just such a stage for folk musicians to showcase themselves.
"Teacher, look, a fountain music square is being built over there. After it is completed, in the hot summer, with the colorful lights arranged around it, it will become the best psychedelic stage. Behind the fountain square, there is
The Leisure Plaza will host food stalls in the future and become the main place for leisure and consumption in the nearby area. In this way, the entire street can form a one-stop layout for eating, drinking and entertainment, creating the best pop culture destination in Shanghai."
Li Junya has already seen that around the fountain square, there are more stages of various sizes.
These stages are all made of cement and paved with marble, surrounding the fountain square. With the help of a complete lighting system, they will definitely be popular.
Xiao Qian added: "The sound effect system of this square was designed and funded by our Starlight. It can be connected to these scattered stages. If there are street singers who perform well, we can also provide them with broadcasting services to let more
People have heard their musical works. I believe that if things go on like this, some great singers will come out here."
His statement caused a great impact on Li Junya.
People in this era really don’t know much about street performances.
In many people’s impressions, doesn’t singing and dancing have to be performed in art troupes or schools?
However, under the influence of Xiao Qian, the upper pitch has changed quite a lot.
In the previous life, this music temple basically trained traditional types of professional talents. Pianists, vocalists, symphony masters, etc.
But Xiao Qian's achievements have made the school realize that pop music seems to have great potential.
Xiao Qian planned to find a time to have a talk with the school. It would be a great merit if the power of professional schools could be used to cultivate pop music talents.
After all, there are practical music majors in foreign universities, but in China, until 2020, I had not heard of any university setting up such a subject.
Everyone walked past the Fountain Square, which was under construction, and it was even more lively inside. Behind the scaffolding, decoration was being done.
"What is being built here is a musical instrument rental store. In the future, musicians who come here to play will only need to spend a small amount of money to rent instruments here and then perform in the square."
Li Junya was startled.
“What kind of musical instruments can I rent?”
Xiao Qian smiled confidently.
"Basically, mainstream musical instruments, such as pianos, guitars, violins, basses, etc., as well as speakers, amplifiers, voice changers, modems, etc., can be rented."
Li Junya was very worried.
"The instrument is very valuable, aren't you afraid that others will take it and run away?"
Xiao Qian's head is covered with black lines.
"You need your ID card or student ID card to rent..."
Li Junya was so ashamed that she didn't expect to be so embarrassed in front of the students.
As we walked further inside, it became much quieter.
"Okay, we're here."
Xiao Qian pointed to a door, her eyes filled with relief.
Everyone looked along and saw a store on the left side of the sidewalk.
Some simple awnings were built outside the store, surrounded by carefully carved railings, which were now wrapped with bright rose flowers.
The rich fragrance of flowers fills the entire street, making people feel relaxed and happy, and the mood is peaceful, without feeling the summer heat wave at all.
It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that the plane trees on both sides of the road here were very dense, which just had the effect of shading the sun.
Under such greenery, you can even dance.
Behind the awning is the front of the store. On the top of the open door is a very simple but fashionable two-letter word - Let's play!
Li Junyan became very nervous when he saw the word "ba".
"Are you sure this is a suitable place for students?"
She is a young person, and she also likes to go to bars and other places with her friends during her breaks. So after seeing her, a misunderstanding arose.
Li Qingjue quickly comforted him: "Teacher Li, don't worry, there is nothing messy here, and you are not allowed to bring it in."
Li Junya was doubtful and couldn't believe it for a moment. He decided to wait until he went in and saw it before making a judgment.
She had other questions.
"Isn't this a cultural exchange center? Why is it named like this?"
"The name of Cultural Exchange Center is too formal, and it makes people feel restricted when they hear it. Music is the ultimate expression of the free and indulgent soul, and it should not be so solemn. So I chose this name because I hope that people who come here will
, you can enjoy music freely without any burden."
Li Qingjue also said: "Xiao Qian told me that he doesn't want ordinary people to think that music is too high-end and too inaccessible. Music is a product that expresses people's emotions, and the melody from everyone's heart is art."
Li Junya was shocked beyond measure by the ease of reading the two novels.
What they said is completely different from Li Junya's long-held understanding, and is even a bit deviant.
But she doesn't know why, but she always feels that the two primary schools are closer to the essence of music.
Thinking about how her classmates were serious and nervous during class, Li Junya suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.
It seems that I can change my teaching methods in the future.
With such random thoughts, she finally had no doubts, and followed Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue into the play bar.
Once inside, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
I saw that the space inside was very vast, and I could take in all the corners at a glance.
"Because this place is open to all ages, in order to prevent young children from being bullied here, I specifically requested that the space be open. This way, all corners are under the supervision of our staff, and we are not afraid of anyone having bad intentions."
"
Xiao Qian has a better understanding of the entertainment industry than Li Junya. People who play music are not without rubbish.
Since this place is used as an open communication center, he has no way to identify who is a good guy and who is a bad guy.
We can only ask the staff here to fulfill their duties and play a complete supervisory role.
"In addition, we have also made regulations that if underage friends come here, they must leave before seven o'clock and leave their home contact information. When they leave, we will contact their homes to ensure that they get home safely."
Li Junya's eyes were full of admiration.
"Wow, you have thought too comprehensively."
Xiao Qian smiled bitterly.
"There is no other way. Only by doing this can we ensure that the atmosphere here will not deteriorate."
Apart from sighing, Li Junya really didn't know what to say.
"Now I finally clearly believe that you are really doing good things. In the future, Magic City will be such a good place where you can exchange music easily and freely, and it will definitely attract many talents to gather here. No, after I go back, I will also
My colleagues have promoted it well. From now on, we will have another place to relax and have fun."
Li Qingjue clapped his hands when he heard this.
"It would be great if the teachers could come here more often. With your supervision, I guarantee there won't be any problems here."
