The first time I knew the name "Ye Xiaogang" was many years ago, I saw an article about him in Wenhui magazine. The content is forgotten, and I even remember the way the name is written, so that yesterday I watched his fifth symphony "Lu Xun" in the grand theater, and I wondered for a while about the name "Ye Xiaogang" on the background poster, it is reasonable to say that such a big music will not have such a low-level flaw, so I went to the Internet to check, this is even more confusing, almost "steel", "gang" half, but also finally found a little "clues", when calling Ye Xiaogang, he often wrote articles as "Ye Xiaogang". It can be used as a pen name or stage name. Changing the side of the first stage name, I can only think of the big beauty Lü Xiuling (Lü Xiuling).
Grades 77 and 78 of the Central Conservatory of Music, the first batch of students recruited by the Central Conservatory of Music after the reform and opening up, Ye Xiaogang was like Song Yunhui in "Great Rivers and Great Rivers", catching up with Deng Xiaoping's first batch of political trial amnesty to enter the highest school of Chinese music. He had been a fitter in the factory for 6 years, and every art examination was stuck in the political audit. The 77th and 78th grade composition departments are like a blowout after ten years of suppression of Chinese music creation, and they are still insurmountable composition myths. Ye Xiaogang, Tan Dun, Qu Xiaosong and Guo Wenjing, who are known as the "four talents" of the composition department, are among the best. And Ye Xiaogang is not only a well-deserved face value, but also the first one in the "Four Bigs" to hold a concert of works and win the most awards.
Guess where they are
The legend of the 77th and 78th grade composition department also benefits from the novel "You Have No Choice" by Liu Sola, who also came from that composition department, anyway, every time I see a composer in Liu Sola's class, I will subconsciously go to the next number with the characters in the novel, although the writer definitely has her cunning tricks of "splitting and reorganizing" and "Zhang Guan Li Dai", but forcing "peeping out the end" is also a low-level fun that our readers enjoy tirelessly. The good-looking and earliest successful characters in the novel should all have the shadow of Ye Xiaogang. The influence of that novel on me was so deep that at yesterday's concert, when I saw the elegant and graceful cellist, I would think of the beautiful girls in the orchestra department in the novel, watch the opera singers pull the mouth of the boss and sing, and remember that the students of the composition department in the novel said that the vocal music students were "calling donkeys", and they couldn't help but "flutter" on the spot. It is estimated that the actors waiting to sing will be a little surprised, is it so funny to sing an opera?
Ye Xiaogang once said that composers want to see in 100 years to see if anyone will still play your works 100 years later. Listening to his works, you can see that he also demanded his own creation according to this standard. Although the symphony originated from the West, but as a Chinese musician want to make achievements in art can not completely follow the old stereotype, in last night's symphony, we heard some Chinese national instruments such as bamboo flute, pipa and other dialogue with Western instruments, especially when the sound is a highlight, people can't help but search for the direction of the sound on the field, when all the instruments are played, Xi is still a presence that cannot be ignored. It's like a national voice in a symphony.
Writing Lu Xun with music is the dream of Ye Xiaogang's youth, before the "musician dream" he once did a "writer's dream", the first month's salary as a fitter was used to buy a set of "Lu Xun's Complete Works", read it repeatedly for a long time, it can be said that Ye Xiaogang's writing skills were first inherited from Lu Xun, and so far every time he re-reads Lu Xun's works, he can also inspire some new insights. Based on the profound understanding of Lu Xun's works, Ye Xiaogang was able to complete it so well, a leap from text description to musical portrayal, so that Lu Xun's characters were vividly resurrected in music.
Ye Xiaogang has composed e ri e for a large number of films, including Chen Yifei's film "After Dusk", Xu Anhua's "Half Life", "Jade Guanyin" and so on. As the most handsome composer, Ye Xiaogang also made a movie "Born Beautiful and Difficult to Abandon" in a movie "Piano Sound Like a Complaint", or the male protagonist, because the shooting process was too nervous, wasted a lot of film, so that he deeply felt that he could not rely on his appearance to eat, or had to rely on talent.
