"Whether it's the northwest wind or the southeast wind, it's my song, my song..."
Listening to Su Yue's a cappella singing, the more you listen to the dialect, the more it feels like "Loess High Slope", although in There are differences in lyrics and melody.
But just in case, I still cautiously ask, "What's the name of this song?"
"Just like the lyrics say, it's called "My Song"."
Su Yue looked around and asked everyone present for their opinions.
Xu Peidong, Huang Yihe and others praised it, saying that this northwest-style ballad fits the theme of this Spring Festival Gala very well.
“That’s really the best!”
Su Yue was surprised and happy. Since he started to engage in pop music creation, the mainland music scene has been filled with the most songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Of course, Hong Kong and Taiwan songs have brought vitality to the mainland music scene and inspired a lot of mainland musicians, but for the young generation like him who have experienced mainland music education, they always have one ambition, which is hope. Your own music can be rooted in your own national culture.
“But the lyrics need to be slightly modified.”
Dialect is smiling.
Huang Yihe said: "Yes, yes, let Teacher Fang polish it up."
"That's no problem. If Chen Zhe knows that the songs he writes can get Teacher Fang's guidance and guidance, I will definitely be happy to revise it!”
Su Yue told the truth. In fact, the current version of "My Song" is not the first draft written by Chen Zhe, but the version revised by friends.
"As you say, you have written several versions?" Fang Yan asked curiously.
"Not many, just three or four."
Su Yue said: "Anyway, whoever we guys think writes better will be the one who owns it. That's it, you change one stroke, I say, a few My friend sat down and made some corrections. After finishing the corrections, Chen Zhe wrote another version, and the current version of "My Song" came into existence."
Fang Yan suddenly realized that it was no wonder it was similar to "Loess High Slope", but it was not the original version. Songs, co-authors are pieced together.
"Teacher Fang, how do you think this song should be changed to make it more appropriate?" Su Yue took out a pen and paper, his face full of sincerity.
“The first thing is the name, “My Song” is not northwest wind enough.”
Fang Yan said: "I think since the song was inspired by the Loess Plateau, why not call it "Loess Plateau"?"
Huang Yihe, Wang Min and others discussed with each other and finally agreed that compared to The title of the song "My Song" and "Loess High Slope" not only points out the region, but also contains a national style. Considering the "national" theme of the Spring Festival Gala, it is indeed slightly better.
"Since the name has been changed to "Loess Gaopo", I think the lyrics at the beginning can be changed like this."
Fang Yan said: "My family lives in Loess Gaopo, and the strong wind blows from the slope. Whether it's the northwest wind or the southeast wind, it's my song, my song." Then he looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Su Yue, "What do you think?"
“Okay!”
Although Huang Yihe knew little about music, his intuition told him -
Once this song is broadcast on the Spring Festival Gala, it will definitely become a classic that is popular and widely sung across the country, and will even be popular among generations. remember!
…………
After having lunch in the cafeteria of CCTV, Fang Yan returned to the Humanities Club leisurely.
At this time, the editorial office was empty, with few people.
After all, the drafting, typesetting and other work for the December issue of "People's Literature" have been successfully completed.
Unfortunately, Yu Hua's "Going Away at the Age of Eighteen" failed to be selected due to insufficient quality, so we had to settle for the next best and published it in "Contemporary".
The front page is reserved for the manuscripts Fang Yan obtained from the Jin army, especially Ke Yunlu's "New Star" and Zheng Yi's "Old Well".
Glancing around, his eyes quickly fell on Zhu Wei, who was reading the latest issue of "World of Reasoning".
"Hey! Are you watching "Song Ci, the Punisher of the Song Dynasty"?"
"Teacher Fang!"
Zhu Wei jumped up and stood up.
Fang Yan patted his shoulder and motioned for him to sit down, "Is there any case you like here?"
"Yes! It's Shi Wenjun's case. I really didn't expect the murderer. He turned out to be Song Ci's father-in-law!"
Zhu Wei said: "I didn't expect that Song Ci would kill his relatives out of justice and personally bring down his biggest backer in the court." "I also like this case. .”
The two chatted about the case in "Song Ci, the Punisher of the Song Dynasty".
Suddenly, Zhu Wei suddenly remembered something, "Teacher Fang, look at me, as I was talking, I forgot what the editor told me."
Fang Yan asked : "What's the matter?"
Zhu Wei said: "The editor-in-chief didn't say what it was specifically. He just said that if you come back to the company in the afternoon, he will ask you to come to his office."
"I know."
Fang Yan said with a smile: "I just want to talk to him about asking for leave."
Watching Teacher Fang enter the editor-in-chief's office, Zhu Wei was puzzled, " Asking for leave? Mr. Fang Where are you going to go on leave?"
Just in front of the dialect, Wang Meng asked the same question as Zhu Wei, "Where are you going to go this time?"
"Japan."
The dialect "confession and leniency" explained that when 3,000 people visited China, they were invited by Okuyama Ronghe Shochiku Film Company.
"If that's the case, then go ahead."
Wang Meng said: "But from now on, you will have to stay in the editorial department and focus more on "People's Literature" 》
“You are...”
Fang Yan thought he was blaming himself for not doing his job properly, but he didn’t expect that he would be wrong.
Wang Meng explained: "At the beginning of next year, your secondment period will be up. At that time, as soon as the relationship is transferred, you will be a formal member of "People's Literature" and you will also be the deputy editor. Do you think I should give you more salary?" Increase the burden!”
Fang Yan was greatly surprised, “Deputy editor? Am I promoted again?”
Wang Meng joked: "Why, you are not happy?"
"Look, who would think that he was promoted!"
Fang Yan said, "I just feel that this is progress. Isn’t it a little too fast? After all, I have only been the editorial director for a year.”
"You can demote talents in any way. If you really want to talk about speed, there is someone faster than you."
Wang Meng said in a low voice that the organization has decided to make an exception for Zhu Wei from an ordinary clerk. Promoted to deputy director of the editorial department.
Fang Yan was shocked, "Zhu Wei is the deputy director, what about Lu Shuyou?"
Wang Meng took advantage of the Fourth Literary Congress and began to adjust the entire "People's Literature" and even the entire humanities society personnel structure.
After all, Wang Meng is now the vice chairman in charge of daily affairs, and "People's Literature" is exactly the publication of the Writers Association.
Liu Jianqing, Cui Daoyi, and Wang Chaoyin are still the deputy editors of "People's Literature", and Dialect replaced Zhou Ming's position.
What Zhu Wei will replace is Lu Shuyou’s seat. Zhou Ming, Lu Shuyou, Yu Deli and others will be transferred to the Writers Association.
"Is it related to the debate about 'root-seeking literature' in the ministry a few days ago?"
Fang Yan was keenly aware that those who were transferred from the editorial department of "People's Literature" were basically Editor of Western Literary Routes.
“It’s not just this reason, it’s also related to the ‘four modernizations’ of cadres.”
Wang Meng said: "Of course, the most important thing is that the slogan of 'creative freedom' has been raised at the Literary Congress. Therefore, in the future, the selection of manuscripts for "People's Literature" will naturally develop in a diversified direction. Old comrades such as Zhou Ming and Lu Shuyou treat Western The attitude of literature is too extreme and it is easy to Confusing the thinking of other comrades will be very detrimental to the development of future work, and even the reform of "People's Literature""
"I kind of understand what you mean"
Fang Yan said. : "Let Zhu Wei be promoted to deputy director in an unusual way. You Do you want him to help me?"
Wang Meng nodded, "From now on, the direction of "People's Literature" will be decided by you and me. How to implement and implement it, you can Leave it to Zhu Wei and Wang Fu to do it." Then he extended his hand. A finger, "After all, in fact, the purpose of running the journal next year is to mobilize the possibilities of various types of creation and mobilize the enthusiasm of writers in different fields of literary creation..."
"Yes , editor-in-chief! ”
I swear in dialect that I am just a humble social instrument to hold the fruits of your careful consideration. (End of this chapter)
