Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 60 If you want to chase someone, chase a star like Lu Jiang

The students responded weakly.

This kind of ancient Chinese text, which is a compulsory course, is indeed a bit boring for today's children.

However, the head teacher's teaching method today is a little different.

He immediately asked, "Today, we will listen to music while attending class."

The students' eyes suddenly lit up.

BJ's classrooms are relatively advanced compared to other classrooms in the country.

But after entering the second year of high school, no matter how advanced or active you are, you will still be overwhelmed by various schoolwork.

Everyone still remembers that the last fun class was half a year ago.

So when the head teacher said this today, everyone immediately became interested and started guessing what song it would be.

Among them, only Xiaomei had a premonition of the situation.

really.

The Chinese teacher then took out Lu Jiang’s new album.

The whole class cheered.

Lu Jiang’s new album is released today.

Because she has to go to class, Xiaomei is the only one in the class who has heard the song.

Everyone has been curious about this for a long time.

What made everyone even more excited was that the head teacher actually openly used songs by pop singers in his courseware?

This is still relatively conservative in today's classroom.

This behavior is incredibly stimulating.

Everyone was very excited.

Of course, there are huge doubts.

What is the relationship between Lu Jiang’s song and "Preface to the Lanting Poems"?
Everyone looked at Xiaomei.

Xiaomei covered her face in embarrassment: Don’t look at me, I didn’t buy an album this morning!

Fortunately, the head teacher didn't pay attention to this detail.

He kept the audience in suspense and then inserted the tape into the classroom radio.

Afterwards, the beautiful melody of "Lanting Preface" resounded throughout the classroom.

At this moment, everyone in the class was stunned.

"How do you feel?" asked the head teacher with a smile.

Everyone: "That sounds good!"

"Oh, what's so good about it?"

The head teacher asked again.

But no one could explain why.

Seeing this, the head teacher asked everyone to open the textbooks, focus on the "Lanting Preface", and then began to explain the courseware he had prepared for the whole morning.
The greatest significance of Jay Chou's Chinese-style songs is that they break the boundaries between tradition and popularity.

It not only allows the audience to enjoy the charm of music, but also plays a role in promoting Chinese traditional culture.

His songs incorporate rich Chinese cultural elements, such as historical stories, traditional festivals, classical poetry, etc., which have enabled these traditional cultures to be more widely spread and accepted in modern society, and subsequently led the trend of the Chinese music scene.

Therefore, the original time and space blue and white porcelain is included in the textbooks not because of Jay Chou's fame, but because traditional culture is crushed by Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan. When the younger generation does not have much interest in traditional culture, the three ancient and three new Chinese style pop music appears, filling the gap in the adaptation of traditional culture to modern pop.

It was also after Chinese-style songs became widely popular that the domestic pop scene truly turned its attention to the treasure of traditional culture.

First it was music, then movies, and then it spread across the board.

Then, after more than a decade of development, the country's strength increased.

Later, with the hard work of a group of outstanding practitioners, it was explored and developed.

Domestically, foreign pop culture has once again taken a high position in the contempt chain.

The invasion of Western culture is no longer an unstoppable one, and Chinese culture has even begun to counterattack abroad.

Foreigners only discovered this when they came into contact with China's excellent culture.

I used to think wowotou was delicious, but that was because I had never eaten good ones.
And before that, I was like most students today.

Speaking of traditional culture.

Old-fashioned, outdated and unfashionable are the biggest labels.

Most people can't muster much interest.

To put it in a broader sense, this is a manifestation of cultural insecurity.

To put it simply, this is something of the past after all.

Compared with European and American popular culture, which represents advancement and trends, the obscure classical Chinese literature and conservative culture will naturally fall behind.

Of course the beauty of traditional culture lies there.

But if you want to experience the beauty of it, the threshold you need to cross is extremely high.

Now, Lu Jiang reinterprets the beauty of tradition through popular music. The lyrics of the songs incorporate the artistic conception of the original text of "Lanting Preface" or give it a modern interpretation.

The combination of Chinese and Western styles leads the trend while going beyond popular categories.

By learning these lyrics, everyone felt for the first time that they were so close to the ancients.

The ability to appreciate classical literary works is also growing rapidly.

At this moment, the students in the class felt proud for the first time.

Proud of Lu Jiang.

Proud of mainland singers.

I am also sincerely proud of the splendor of traditional culture.
After a lively Chinese class.

Although I was assigned to write a review after listening.

But everyone was in a very happy mood.

This was the first time that everyone was so interested in Chinese homework.

Xiaomei once again became a little star.

Everyone was ordered to listen to the songs, and she was the only one with songs, so she had to be the focus.

So Xiaomei finally completed her experience of pretending to be better.

"Come one by one, don't worry. If you're really anxious, I'll go to the radio station and broadcast it publicly later!"

"Little Beauty Niu Pen!"

"."

Wait until school is over in the evening.

The students went home and bought albums instead.

If you don’t have money or can’t buy it, just turn on the TV or radio and listen to music.

And "Lu Jiang·Chinese Style" was sold out after one day.

At this time, the eight new songs have already been released on various platforms across the country.

in a few days

Xiaomei's class finally decided on "Running" as their class song.

There’s no way, even though the two Chinese-style songs are so good.

But it's not really suitable for chorus.

So I can only reluctantly give up my love.

Class one’s song is “Running”.

Class 2’s performance was “The First Dream”.

Class three is "The Wind Rises".

Class 4
Hey!
Although your Class 4 is a specialty class for art and sports, you shouldn't be too unconventional!

"Don't Go Home Until You're Drunk" is the class song. What's the matter? Have you all been drinking?

Change it quickly!

What to change?
I think Lu Jiang’s songs are pretty good.

Chinese style, right?

There is also "The First Dream", look how inspiring it is.

He made a movie and won an award, bringing glory to the country.

If you want to chase someone, just chase a star like Lu Jiang.

Why are you chasing him for other reasons?
Yes, I’m talking about Xie Tingfeng. His hairstyle is just like that of a second-rate guy!
Did you hear that? Change the class song quickly!

The principal walked away cursing with his hands behind his back.

The students in Class 4 really wanted to retort that "Not Returning Without Being Drunk" was also written by Lu Jiang.

But in the end I held back my laughter.

Such situations occur frequently across the country.

"Lu Jiang·Chinese Style" has a total of eight songs, three of which are inspirational and two are Chinese style.

These five songs were given the privilege of being played on campus in 99.

Of course, not all schools allow pop music on campus.

But this also helped Lu Jiang gain a large number of young fans on campus.

Perhaps these student fans, most of whom have no money, cannot bring a very positive impact on Lu Jiang’s current album sales, but students will grow up one day.

When they grow up listening to Lu Jiang's songs, they leave school, enter society, and have their own jobs and income.

By then, the feedback these young fans will give Lu Jiang will be countless times greater than it is now...
