Chapter 242 Exclusive Interview with Jetlin (Please Subscribe~Monthly Pass!)
Soon after Li Shaojie chatted with the person in charge, he met Wang Qian, the host of this exclusive interview with "Face to Face".

Wang Qian's reputation is very good.

However, Li Shaojie felt that
Anyway, as long as it's not Lu Datou.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Wang Qian smiled very politely, stretched out her hand reservedly, and shook hands with Li Shaojie.

"Sister Wang is polite, just call him Shaojie."

Wang Qian looked at the young man in front of her.

The first impression is that it is very easy-going, approachable, and even a little down-to-earth.

It's very comfortable to communicate, without airs, or the arrogance of a genius.

It seems to be different from the image that has been popular on the Internet for a long time.

"Haha, then, Shaojie, let's sit down."

"Ah."

The two sat on chairs, facing each other.

Wang Qian smiled slightly.

"The format of this interview is very free. After recording today, it will be broadcast on Saturday. There will be no malicious editing out of context in the editing of the video. Sensitive topics will also be discussed and played. You can answer with confidence."

Li Shaojie nodded.

The cameras around him have already started working.

The recording of the interview was very casual.

This is also to try not to put pressure on the guests as much as possible, and to make the interview content of the program more realistic.

After all, this show is not something that simple traffic stars can be on. There is no need to deliberately tinker with a series of things here.

Most of the people who can appear on this program are top players in the industry, or even leaders.

Even some actors, singers, and people in the entertainment industry have achieved certain achievements because their works have reached a certain height.

Even if it is popular, at least you have to be a person with something.

And the popularity requirements are very strict.

At least, more guests are very NB bigwigs in other walks of life.

As one of the youngest artists in China, Li Shaojie's current popularity is hard to compare with previous guests. He came to this show purely because of the hard quality of his works.

Soon, the recording officially started.

"Shaojie, I'm curious about one thing."

Wang Qian asked with a smile.

"It's hard to see a music practitioner who can be involved in so many music industries."

Immediately, he began to count the various identities that Li Shaojie had appeared all along.

"Music producer of popular songs, soundtrack engineer, creator of national opera, serious music composer, pianist, conductor, and even performed as a performer himself."

"The style is also very broad. Not to mention the various styles of pop music, even in the soundtrack, it is enough to see a very, very variety of music forms."

After glancing at Li Shaojie, Wang Qian asked the first question.

"So Shaojie, what's your opinion on music as a whole?"

"Well, it's actually very simple."

Li Shaojie smiled slightly.

"In my opinion, music is not only for pleasing, but more, it is a carrier of cultural emotion. Therefore, in the creation, the first thing I have to consider is whether my music has some Well-crafted stuff, or...can carry something."

Li Shaojie's words made Wang Qian nod her head.

After a pause, Li Shaojie continued to speak.

"Of course, although I don't want to please anyone, but in terms of music expression, I often focus on the audience's first experience. I often say that music does not need to be understood, but it must be felt."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qian was a little dazed.

Before you said that your music is not for pleasing anyone, but later you said that you should think in terms of the audience's experience?
Seems inconsistent?

Do not!
Soon, Li Shaojie's next sentence made Wang Qian suddenly realize.

"There is no conflict between these two points, because I think music should be [elegant]. This elegance refers to cultural and spiritual connotations. Don't fiddle with vulgar tastes and ensure positive energy. Musicians should pay attention to society and give back to society."

Li Shaojie smiled slightly.

"It's not about being lofty and self-centered. The content should be unique and the thinking should be elegant, but it must not be divorced from the masses."

Wang Qian nodded, and the look in her eyes was even worse.

This Li Shaojie is very good at talking! !

It seems that the next interview will not be boring! !
"It seems to me that someone has criticized you for being too elegant, or sometimes your creations are very vulgar."

Wang Qian finally started to ask some more explosive questions.

"For example, some remarks attacking you on the Internet, how do you usually view these remarks? How do you view the concept of [elegance and vulgarity]?"

"I never watch it because it's bullshit."

Brother Jie didn't hesitate at all.

Straightforward!

From the looks of it, it seemed that some gossip was not taken seriously at all.

"I'm just an ordinary musician, and I try my best to make excellent music in my mind."

"In my opinion, it is important to please the public, but people still need to insist on their own, especially those who are engaged in art."

"If you can't produce a work, everything is fake. I will only look directly at those opponents who can produce excellent works."

"Follow the trend? Don't know anything and still love to pretend? That's fine."

With a slight smile, Li Shaojie shrugged.

There was a bit of disdain on his face.

So he said vividly.

"The dog at the entrance of the village saw something wrong, so it barked."

"But other dogs in the village followed suit, although they didn't know why."

"Although you can't make refrigerators, you may not be able to comment on refrigerators, but at least you need to know that you are talking about refrigerators, and not pointing at the steamer and discussing refrigerators with me. Answering such questions is a waste of time."

Wang Qian couldn't help muttering something in her heart.

Dude, this is really merciless.

Still, it's a pretty good answer.

"The concept of elegance and vulgarity, in my opinion, is actually a very immature and superficial concept of art and aesthetics."

Li Shaojie shook his head.

"There's no distinction between refined and vulgar. There are only positive and negative content, and the difference between easy-to-understand and obscure works."

Li Shaojie's words immediately aroused Wang Qian's curiosity.

The dispute between elegance and vulgarity has long existed.

But there are really few who directly deny both parties and the concept of "elegance and vulgarity".

This time, Wang Qian's eyes lit up.

"Whatever can express my thoughts more and expand the tension of the first experience, I will use whatever, instead of being limited to the so-called elegance and vulgarity that follow the rules."

Li Shaojie smiled slightly.

"If we talk about elegance and vulgarity, then as far as art itself is concerned, it is natural to pursue elegance and resist vulgarity, vulgarity, and vulgarity."

Then, the voice changed.

Li Shaojie said seriously.

"But if it's popular, then I think music should not only pursue elegance, but also popular."

"Abscure music exists, so making better music easier to accept and more popular is what we musicians should work on."

"As for insisting on talking about the public and the minority, I can only say that musicians, music, at least myself, are not superior."

Li Shaojie pouted.

It's like classical music that seems to be "complex, complicated, elegant and difficult to understand" in the eyes of the public
In fact, there are many melodies that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

There is no so-called threshold of appreciation, but it is very simple.

"Actually, more music is not as difficult to appreciate as many people imagine. It is certain that it can be passed down for hundreds of years, thousands of years, profound, more artistic value, and more meaningful, but it is definitely not because of obscurity."

"No matter what kind of music it is, it never actively shuts people out. All the thresholds come from one's own arrogance or arbitrary self-definition."

"Self-definition?!"

This word immediately caught Wang Qian's attention.

"Yes! If you say you can't accept the so-called [elegance], it doesn't come from knowledge, let alone ignorance, but more from self-definition."

Li Shaojie spread his hands.

"It's like, music is close to you, but you say [I don't have art bacteria] [I'm just a layman]. It’s hopeless].”

"Others kindly want to explain to you, and you immediately say [Yes, you understand medicine and I don't understand it, but I understand myself]. In this way, it is easy to attribute it to preferences, and to recognize things [difficult to accept in a short time] as Become something [I don’t like it, I can’t accept it].”

Wang Qian almost laughed out loud.

But Li Shaojie continued to chatter.

It seems to be a complaint that has been complained for a long time.

"Not to mention, there are still people who use the most one-sided view to talk nonsense, comment in the name of art, and deify art."

"This also leads to cognitive errors for many people."

"It's as if I searched on Baidu before going to the doctor, and then told the doctor [Your diagnosis is wrong, you should give me XX medicine, you should give me XX treatment], isn't this a joke?!"

Shrugging, Li Shaojie concluded.

"But in the final analysis. No matter when, no matter what the situation, giving up on yourself and defining yourself or others very arbitrarily is the most deadly arrogance."

"Haha."

Wang Qian couldn't help laughing twice.

But he couldn't help but nodded at what Li Shaojie said.

"So, in Shaojie's eyes, music is essentially no different from the masses?"

"Yes, at least in my personal eyes, I don't think any kind of music is noble or vulgar, and I don't deliberately classify any kind of music into the public and the minority."

Li Shaojie nodded, then shook his head again.

Sighed.

"Some music has more content and more layers of expression. It will definitely be a little slow to accept. After you accept it, the experience you get will be more three-dimensional."

"Complicated things are hard to get tired of, but the audience is small, and simple things have a wide audience, but they are easy to get tired of."

"The task of a musician is to master a balance, or to create different creations according to different needs."

Li Shaojie's words made Wang Qian look serious.

This is an excellent practitioner, some thoughts on his own industry!
Wang Qian nodded.

He has his own unique views on art, which seem to be different from many others.

Perhaps, such abnormal thinking and abnormal insights are the reason why he can create excellent works at such a young age!

"It's hard, isn't it?"

"It's hard, but do it."

Li Shaojie nodded.

"Someone has to do it."

It was the first time Wang Qian heard this kind of answer, and she couldn't help but feel as if she had a new idea.

In the past, maybe I just thought that music is music, but I just feel good or not.

But now it seems that the division of music is not only the genre, but also the function.

In other words, functionality is a way of "classifying" music! !

For example, some songs are naturally concise and easy to understand for publicity.

Like military songs, the melody must be simple, the rhythm strong, and catchy, easy to cheer up! !

And some music is to carry more ideological, cultural and historical connotations, which naturally require a more complex level to express the countless event elements that are difficult to describe in words.

Like some really grand serious music.

And some music is to set off the atmosphere and create an atmosphere.

According to different functions, the focus of creation is also different! !

"So, is it like the song you wrote for non-profit cultural creation, "Live Hard"?"

Wang Qian smiled slightly.

"It is easier to sing, and the memory of the melody is deeper?"

"um, yes!"

Li Shaojie nodded with a smile.

When mentioning Li Shaojie's previous public welfare cultural creation, Wang Qian suddenly thought of a new topic.

"So, to carry out this kind of public welfare creation is also based on your idea of ​​giving back to the society?"

If you say, normal people, you must nod.

Even if it's not, but nodding, it must be more beneficial to yourself.

But obviously, Li Shaojie is not a normal person.

"Yes or no."

Li Shaojie frowned, thought for a while, and said.

"Actually, I do have the idea of ​​doing something, but the reason is different."

"You know, at the beginning I planned to write a brilliant masterpiece, to use the voice of the world to tell Chinese stories."

Li Shaojie immediately began to narrate.

As if suddenly excited, Wang Qian was taken aback.

Immediately, a series of completely irrelevant incidents that easily lead people to go astray
Just like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

"So, based on this idea, I saw Dunhuang, because Dunhuang is an important place to communicate with the Western Regions in history. Whether it is cultural philosophy, it can be helpful to [World Voices, Chinese Stories]."

"So, I'll just watch the Mogao Grottoes."

"So, I'm going to study Buddhism."

"So, I'm going to practice it."

"."

"That's why I came up with the idea of ​​such a cultural and creative project!"

Li Shaojie chuckled and let out a long sigh of relief.

I think what I explained was simply too concise.

But Wang Qian was already a little dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the excellent professional skills, it is very likely that he would be entangled in the fog!

"Haha, that's how it is."

Wang Qian quickly changed the subject.

"You said a new work?! It turns out that you have been preparing for a new work during this time!"

"About Dunhuang? Can you tell me what impressed you the most when you were creating?"

"Well, there are."

Li Shaojie thought about it carefully, then nodded seriously.

"When I was collecting materials in Dunhuang, I heard a local Dunhuang culture expert once told me a story about Dunhuang."

"To be honest, this story made me feel a lot of emotions, and I also strengthened my belief in doing something."

"Oh? Can you explain it carefully?!"

Wang Qian became curious.

Dunhuang has always been regarded as synonymous with splendor, mystery and simplicity.

Wang Qian is no exception.

"Ah."

Li Shaojie nodded, organized his thoughts, and spoke slowly.

"That's a [sinner] story"
