"Teacher Chen, let's not talk about this for now. Have you dabbled in folk songs by Teacher Chen?" Qiu Xuyang asked.

Chen Zhixian was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Folk songs? In this regard, Teacher Qiu is an expert, right?"

That’s right, Qiu Xuyang’s famous work can be said to be a lot of space in folk songs.

In contrast, Hu Shuo's creation of folk songs is worse.

This actually has a lot to do with the environment they are in.

Qiu Xuyang is from Baodao, which is the official language and also in Mandarin.

Hu Shuo is from Hong Kong Island, but the legal languages ​​of Hong Kong Island are Cantonese and English. In his early years, he almost wrote Cantonese songs.

Therefore, Hu Shuo is indeed not good at folk songs.

Qiu Xuyang is different. Baodao once had a folk song hurricane, and even mainland China has received a great impact.

In that era, for some well-known reasons, folk songs and rock songs became the mainstream of the mainland music scene in that era.

But I have to say that the era of folk songs is actually over.

Nowadays, it is difficult for you to see any folk songs that can make it on the sales list every year.

But in fact, it is not because people no longer love folk songs, but because there are fewer and fewer excellent folk songs.

Even Qiu Xuyang has to compromise with the market, and he has not published any more folk songs for many years.

However, most of the folk songs that are sing continuously are written by Qiu Xuyang.

"It seems that Teacher Chen is hiding deeply. It's like this. Have you heard of the Dandelion Folk Music Festival?" Qiu Xuyang asked from the other end of the phone.

Chen Zhixian really knew this, because in my memory, the Dandelion Folk Music Festival was held in Huanhai City during his college years.

"Well, I know, it was held in Huanhai City. I have been there with my classmates before." Chen Zhixian asked in confusion.

"That's true, it can also be said to be influenced by the Opera and Music Festival. If you want to change the past model for this Dandelion Folk Music Festival, you also know that this time, there are many good songs in the Chinese Opera and Music Festival, and the key is that the market response is very good." Qiu Xuyang said.

Then he continued: "Although the Dandelion Folk Music Festival was quite good in the past, it was mostly cliché. The old folk songs from the past were sang, but the influence was worse than that of a year, and it could even be said that only feelings were left."

"This time, inspired by the Opera Music Festival, the Organizing Committee of the Dandelion Folk Music Festival wants to learn from the Opera Music Festival model and create original folk songs, but you also know that it is hard to cook without rice."

"There is no problem with singers. Some old folk singers agreed to participate, but folk songs have declined after all, and they are no longer mainstream in the market. There are fewer and fewer lyricists and musicians who write folk songs. Most of the new folk songs circulating now are original works by folk singers, with uneven quality."

"So, in order to expand the influence of the folk music festival, Dandelion Folk Music Festival has brought sponsorships from platforms such as Huaxun Music and Yiyun Music to promote folk songs. So, I came to me and I have agreed. How about it? Teacher Chen, should I come and have fun?" Qiu Xuyang finally explained his purpose.

In fact, there is another thing that Qiu Xuyang didn’t say, that is, Chen Zhixian is a popular one now.

It can be said that Chen Zhixian played a very critical role in the Baodao Music Salon or the Chinese Opera and Music Festival.

Therefore, the Dandelion Folk Music Festival specially named Chen Zhixian, but Chen Zhixian's debut was too short, and although his circle of friends was not small, no one knew Chen Zhixian and had no friendship in the Dandelion Folk Music Festival.

For this reason, Qiu Xuyang was specially invited to be a lobbyist.

In fact, for famous lyricists like Chen Zhixian who don’t have to worry about resources and cannot sell songs, it doesn’t matter whether they participate in the music festival or not.

But for music, if you can invite famous lyricists like Chen Zhixian, who are currently the hottest musicians in the music industry, you will be very attractive to those singers first.

Although the music festival is actually not short of money and the appearance fee for singers is not low, it is really unlikely to have such a big game like the opera music festival.

At the Chinese Opera and Music Festival, although there are countless big names participating in it, in fact, in terms of appearance fees, most singers only charge friendly prices.

Because of the Chinese Opera and Music Festival, the background is so scary.

Many domestic singers have to give face to endorse several universities.

Therefore, the appearance fee of An Wanru and Liang Qiuhua is not high, and they are more likely to charge a friendly price.

But Dandelion Folk Music Festival is different. This music festival is a commercial music festival, so naturally we need to consider the issue of balance of income and expenditure.

But if you can invite a big-name musician like Chen Zhixian and Qiu Xuyang, then as long as this news is released, there is absolutely no need to worry that the singers will not come to the door.

"When is the specific time to hold this? What are the requirements?" Qiu Xuyang spoke, and Chen Zhixian couldn't refuse.

And on the other hand, Chen Zhixian is actually quite interested in Folk Music Festival.

"The hosting time is on the fifteenth of next month, and it lasts for a week. This year's venue is held in Dinglilac Town in Yunbian. As for the requirements, because this year's Dandelion Folk Music Festival needs to refer to the opera music festival model, it is best to write two folk songs. As for the singer, it depends on your own choice. This time, the Dandelion Folk Music Festival has great ambitions and has invited many veteran folk singers to participate. It seems that it is not difficult to find a suitable singer to sing." Qiu Xuyang said.

"The scenery in Dingxiang Town is good. Teacher Chen can bring his girlfriend over for a walk." Qiu Xuyang said with a smile again.

"Okay, but I'm really showing off my skills in folk songs. At that time, Teacher Qiu, don't laugh at me." Chen Zhixian said with a smile.

"This is not like the genius lyricist Chen Zhixian I know. You should say that it will be better to have a conversation at that time." Qiu Xuyang joked.

"Teacher Qiu was joking, folk songs, Teacher Qiu called second, who dared to call first, I grew up listening to Teacher Qiu's works." Chen Zhixian's words were not just a compliment, but a fact.

To be honest, Qiu Xuyang is really crazy in this regard.

Let me put it this way, more than half of the works that are sang the most popular and hailed as classic folk songs are written by Qiu Xuyang. Qiu Xuyang not only writes good songs, but also has high yields.

Someone once did statistics. When Qiu Xuyang was the most powerful, he wrote nearly a hundred works in a year. Can you imagine this?

Qiu Xuyang can be said to be definitely a legend in the Chinese music scene in this regard!

"Haha, although I know you are flattering, I will be disrespectful to your Teacher Chen's flattery!" Qiu Xuyang said with a loud laugh.

"Okay, that's it. There will be people from the Dandelion Folk Music Festival to contact Teacher Chen later!"

After saying that, the two of them said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Chapter completed!
