Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

First: the pronunciation system is too complex and cannot be understood by northerners. In most provinces and cities south of the Yangtze River, Cantonese has not become popular, which makes the dissemination and promotion of Cantonese music very difficult.

Second: The complex and changeable pronunciation rules of Cantonese and the exquisite and elegant wording and sentence making of Cantonese have made many people give up. On the other hand, the development of mainland music and the impact of European and American music have given the public more choices. In the future, the promotion and dissemination of Cantonese songs will become increasingly difficult.

Liu Weici said a lot of words eloquently, and Yu Dongqing listened carefully, and it was quite pertinent. It seemed that this guy had really done his homework.

However, Huang Qihui was not happy after hearing this and immediately retorted: "Mr. Liu, the pronunciation system of Cantonese is complicated. This is not a shortcoming but an advantage! Why Cantonese songs are so good is because of the Cantonese tone system and pronunciation structure. There are 19 initial consonants and 56 consonants. The rhymes also include the nine tones and six tones of Cantonese, as well as its own unique sayings and wording methods. Its charm is much stronger than your so-called Mandarin songs!"

Huang Qifui's words were immediately agreed by Hong Kong musicians. You actually turned the advantages of Cantonese songs into disadvantages.

Liu Weici did not show weakness and argued hard, saying that this is a fact and you have to admit it.

Suddenly the conference room became lively, and the competition evolved into which one is better, Mandarin songs or Cantonese songs? Finally, three musicians from Li Wanwan also participated, and the conference room suddenly became lively.

Yu Dongqing did not participate.

He didn't like this kind of emotional quarrel, it was boring.

Since it is not good to communicate calmly?

Look at that Huang Qihui, he looks like a fighting rooster.

Yu Dongqing felt bored and took out her mobile phone.

As the host of the meeting, Xia Wenxi certainly would not tolerate the meeting room being like a vegetable market. She immediately stopped everyone's emotional arguments and the meeting room immediately became quiet.

Liu Weici couldn't resist anymore, so he took the opportunity to take a breath, took another sip of water and noticed that Yu Dongqing, who had been silent just now, was playing with his mobile phone.

In fact, Yu Dongqing didn't play with his mobile phone. The teacher in the parent group only sent some pictures and videos of the class, and one of them was sent to him privately.

In the video, Yu Tongtong was not paying attention in class and was whispering to her classmate Xia Yunxing. As a result, she was discovered by the teacher and criticized.

In another section, Yu Tongtong fought with Xia Yunxing again, and without exception, she beat the other party to tears again.

Yu Dongqing sighed after looking at it.

Failure.

Fortunately, I now have a good relationship with Xia Yunxing's father, and I won't worry about him coming to visit me.

Of course, in a private chat on WeChat, Yu Dongqing apologized to the teacher and said that she would strictly discipline her daughter.

Liu Weici gently touched Yu Dongqing's arm: "Hey, Dongqing, help me."

Yu Dongqing put down the phone. Although he usually thought Liu Weici was not a good person, he still had to say a few words for him at this time.

Huang Qihui, who was sitting opposite, noticed Liu Weici's little move. He looked at Yu Dongqing with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yu, you have written a few Cantonese songs, which is different from those who have never written Cantonese songs. Cantonese songs are better than Mandarin songs. I think you have a deep understanding of its advantages, right?"

Ah?

This guy is very good and never forgets to harm others.

You're right, Cantonese songs do have certain advantages over Mandarin songs in terms of melody and expression, but I don't like the tone of your voice now.

Yu Dongqing smiled and said: "Mr. Huang, I just want to ask you. You said that Cantonese songs have many advantages, but why are they not as popular as Mandarin songs?!"

Huang Qihui's face suddenly turned ugly.

This is heartbreaking.

No matter how fancy you are, Cantonese songs are only limited to Guangdong and Xiangjiang areas.

No matter how popular Cantonese songs are and how many fans listen to them in the mainland, they are still less popular than Mandarin songs.

Moreover, this trend is becoming more and more obvious, and the scope of Cantonese songs in the mainland market is shrinking day by day.

This is an indisputable fact, but Xiangjiang musicians are unwilling to admit it.

"As a song written in a minority language, it has inherent disadvantages. As Mr. Liu said just now, there is no solution to this problem."

As musicians, how can we maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses so that Cantonese songs can continue to prosper and not decline? This is what we urgently need to consider, instead of arguing whether Mandarin or Cantonese songs are better, which is meaningless. "

After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.

"Mr. Yu." Xia Wenxi, as the host, took over the topic and asked: "How do you think we can maintain the prosperity of Cantonese songs!"

"First, work hard to produce high-quality products! Everyone knows this and it goes without saying. Second, expand the content of Cantonese songs. They can't just be limited to love, love, love songs. You can write about any kind of family, country, and life philosophy!"

What Yu Dongqing admires most are the classic Cantonese songs composed by the older generation of musicians in Hong Kong in that time and space, which are full of national, national and humanistic feelings.

Cantonese songs in this time and space are lacking this.

"In addition, the types of Cantonese songs have also expanded. They can't always be popular songs. Folk songs and rock types can all be written in Cantonese!"

"Write rock in Cantonese? Mr. Yu, are you right?" Huang Qihui took over, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Why can't Cantonese songs be written about rock?" Yu Dongqing asked seriously.

"Mr. Yu, I know you praise folk music and rock music very much, but it is undeniable that they are niche both in the mainland and in Hong Kong. Otherwise, how could they not have a foothold in Hong Kong?"

"No place for it?" Yu Dongqing sneered: "That's because we haven't created our own folk songs and rock music! Especially rock music!"

As soon as Yu Dongqing finished speaking, the Hong Kong musicians sitting opposite were a little commotion. Doesn't this mean that Hong Kong musicians like themselves can't write Cantonese rock?

Actually, not much.

"Mr. Yu, did you write Cantonese rock?" Huang Qihui asked.

"I'm working hard to write." Yu Dongqing's face was calm.

"Then I respectfully ask Mr. Yu to write it as soon as possible. I'm all ears." Huang Qihui sneered.

Yu Dongqing smiled slightly and did not answer.

The whole day's seminar and exchange meeting ended. Although it was generally dull, Yu Dongqing's speech still caused some sensation.

Soon the TV stations and networks reported the contents of this exchange.

"The Cantonese pronunciation system is too complex, making the dissemination and promotion of Cantonese music difficult."

"The complex and changeable pronunciation rules of Cantonese and the exquisite and elegant wording and sentence making of Cantonese increase the difficulty of creation, which is not conducive to the development and growth of Cantonese."

Yu Dongqing's views were disclosed on the Internet, and there were some praisers but even more critics.

Of course, many people scorn the creation of Cantonese rock.

Creation is difficult.

Whether the creation sounds good or not is even more difficult.

Huang Qihui has always adhered to this point of view.
