573. The next trend?
After Chen Zhixian walked around, he basically called everyone who should say hello.
After harvesting a lot of praise.
Chen Zhixian returned to Feng Gang and others.
In fact, every social occasion has a central point.
Of course, there may be more than one central point, but different people pay different attention to it.
For example, for this celebration banquet tonight, Chen Zhixian may be the central point in the eyes of the singers and artists present.
However, for film and television stars, talents like Feng Gang, Lin Muran, Ou Junlong are the central points.
Then, when the two center points overlap, naturally, there is only one center point left on the scene.
Chen Zhixian was called by Feng Gang.
"Come on, Xiao Chen, the topic we just talked about is related to you, so you can talk about it too." Feng Gang said with a smile.
"What topic?" Chen Zhixian looked puzzled.
"We just talked about how to judge the next trend. Xiao Chen, you have used ten folk songs to rekindle the trend of folk songs. You can hear the songs you wrote in the streets and alleys!" Lin Muran said with a smile.
By the way, I forgot to say that although Lin Muran has been around the three major European film festivals, in fact, he is not a purely literary film director.
On the contrary, as the domestic market grows bigger, Lin Muran's films are becoming more and more commercial.
This made Lin Muran get criticized a lot, but he didn't care at all.
"Actually, in my opinion, the so-called trend, to put it bluntly, there is a top work that is popular enough, and then someone follows the trend, and then the so-called trend is formed. Of course, the most difficult thing to judge is this top work that can drive trends!" Feng Gang said with a smile.
"It's not all right? Lao Feng's "Search" has both received good reputations and a high popularity of topics. Although there are some follow-up works, they are not on the table and have not caused the so-called trend, right?" Lin Muran said lightly.
"I think to cause a trend, the top works are important, but more importantly, they must be replicable." Lin Muran said again.
"Yes, it really needs to be replicable. Otherwise, if there are too few works, or the quality of works that follow the trend is too poor, how can it be said to drive influence and form a trend?"
Chen Zhixian was eating melons aside and watching the directors express their opinions, which was quite interesting.
"Xiao Chen, as the saying goes, bystanders are clear, and those in the authorities are confused, but if you don't understand at all, you are an outsider. You happen to be a lyricist and songwriter, and you have written scripts like "Search". So, you are not an outsider. From your perspective, tell everyone what you think?" Lin Muran smiled and pushed Chen Zhixian out.
"This, I won't show off my skills, right?" Chen Zhixian said with a hint of laughter and cry.
"What kind of team shows off? In fact, you are the real trendsetter. After talking for a long time, none of us has really set off any popular trend. Instead, you, the folk songs dominant list, have indeed made folk songs bloom for the second spring, so you have a say better than us!" Feng Gang couldn't help but say.
"Yes, Xiao Chen is talking. It's not a formal occasion. Everyone speaks freely and don't have any scruples!" Lin Muran also smiled and nodded.
"Yes, let's talk!"
Everyone was urging Chen Zhixian to speak out.
"Then I'll throw my bricks and attract my eyes. Of course, it's just my personal opinion. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me." Chen Zhixian no longer shy.
"Just from the fact that this time I dominate the list, there are actually three categories of my ten songs." Chen Zhixian said with a smile.
"The first category is mainly narrative songs such as "Lilac Flower" and "Birch Forest", with the themes all about love, and it is a sad love."
"The second category is "You've Always in Life", "You're a Deskmate", "Childhood", "Those Flowers", etc. The themes are all related to youth."
"The third category is songs like "Chengdu" and "Ms. Dong". These songs are considered urban folk songs, but they are all niche."
"It seems to be the top folk song list, but in fact, in my opinion, this so-called folk song trend is not appropriate, or rather, it should be a youth nostalgia storm!"
When Chen Zhixian said this, some of them were thinking about something, while others lit up their eyes.
Chen Zhixian continued: "The two songs, "Lilac Flowers" and "Birch Forest", seem to be not the theme of youth, but love, but in fact? The protagonists of the stories in the two songs are in great years! So, in fact, although these two songs are sad folk songs of love, they are actually unable to escape youth!"
"Not to mention the campus folk songs behind, these songs have one characteristic, that is, the purpose of these songs is to evoke people's memories and youthful memories."
"On the contrary, songs like "Chengdu" and "Ms. Dong" are no longer youthful."
"And the market's reaction also proves that what really set off this time is not the trend of folk songs, but the theme of youth and nostalgia!"
"The big sale of songs such as "You, My Deskmate" and "Childhood" shows that playing the card of youth and nostalgia is very effective!"
"So, can we learn and sell the same thing in the film and television industry? I think that if film and television works are about to set off a trend, then the theme of youth and nostalgia is undoubtedly the most likely."
"Just like Director Lin said before, to set off a trend, what is needed is reproducibility. I think that movies with the theme of youth and nostalgia have the characteristics of reproducibility!"
"Because, if you want to set off a trend, you must first have a popular foundation. This is the same as the song. Why is "You, the Deskmate" so popular? It is because this song has a huge popular foundation."
"Who hasn't ever been a deskmate? Who hasn't ever been a deskmate buried deep in your memory? So this song can resonate with them."
"The same is true for movies. If you want a series and a theme to become a temporary trend, then this series, or theme, will inevitably resonate with the public easily!"
"Baoba!" As Chen Zhixian finished speaking, everyone suddenly applauded.
"It's well said, youth nostalgic theme, tsk tsk, we old guys are really blinded by the eyes. If you think about it carefully, there are really not many such topics, but can this kind of topic achieve success? The answer is very obvious! This is a topic worth digging deep! Of course, we old guys, forget it, the youth of us old guys is different from the youth of your generation. However, Xiao Ou, you can try it. Maybe it can really set off a storm of youth nostalgia for you!" Lin Muran said with a smile.
Everyone nodded.
Chapter completed!
