Music, Movies and Life

I remember chatting with a friend when we first met, talking about movies, I said that movies are all about life, higher than life. I didn't think anything was wrong, but my friend vomited, as if I was talking about a well-known truth but thought it was my own invention. Yes, maybe my expression is a bit rustic.

I like watching movies, I like them very much. Thanks to DB, I have a collection of hundreds of discs, and I have the honor to experience a lot of life that I can never experience in my life, although most of them are only artistic. I am very grateful to those excellent actors who split their personality into a completely different state and let others feel it. It's great. Although not chasing stars, there are a few actors who like them from the bottom of their hearts, Jiang Wen, Chen Daoming, Xu Jinglei, Liu Ye, and a few from Hong Kong, Wu Zhenyu, Liu Qingyun, Huang Qiusheng. European literary films are good, the old guy Giuseppe Tornatore's things are good-looking, beautiful Sicilian legends, but watching war is watching the brand of war on a woman through the eyes of a child, classic; Paradise Cinema, tell the world what kind of person he is A person born for the film, pure; the first English film, The Pianist at Sea, The Legend of 1900, a piano genius can only calmly face the 88 black and white keys on the piano, but cannot face or even refuse to touch this The mundane world with thousands of paths and billions of choices, philosophy. Quentin Tarantino, this geek, in each of his films, everything seems to have some sort of arrangement, life is a game, and the story is a game, Reservoir dogs, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction Pulp fiction, it makes people watch Ups and downs, had to admire his wrist.

On the 51st, I bought a pair of Hi-Fi, Jinlang's 707 box, which I have longed for, and added a Denon 1500 power amplifier to make myself feel cool. A friend came to my house and saw a CD, The Miracle Makers, that was a miracle maker. Bein & Fushi, the world's top violin collecting and trading company, provided 30 guqins worth more than $100 million, including the 1737 King Joseph, from his and many private collectors' collections. Elmar Oliveira completed all of them in two days. The audition and performance were recorded by top recording engineer Mark Levinson. The Chinese title "500 million Qin Wang" is more than 500 million! Imagine how busy those insurance companies must have been during those days of tape recording. Looking at the 18th century violins in the introduction, my friend said she had no idea why those ancient violins were so valuable. I thought about it and had a good idea. I took out a DVD, and I said, you'll know after you've read it. After watching the red violin of the Canadian Francois Girard and listening to that CD, my friend said, I don't want to go home. Obviously, Elmar Oliveira touched the sensitive nerves of people's heart while rubbing the four strings of the guqin.

The story is about a 1681 qin that has experienced centuries of wandering, traveling between continents, connecting countless people and events. I told my friends that, in addition to its incomparably beautiful sound quality, a piano with such a long history is more of the accumulation of those historical stories. When this violin was in Vienna, it was a prodigy who accompanied a monastery, but the prodigy had a short life and died of a heart attack while playing it for the nobles; this violin was exiled to the famous British violinist by the hands of wandering gypsies In Pope's hands, the woman and the violin inspired his surging creative inspiration, until the woman discovered his infidelity, shot the violin with a gun, and left angrily, and the violinist committed suicide in melancholy; The Chinese servants in the violin family drifted to China. The shopkeeper in the pawnshop took the gem of the headpiece and put it away until a mother and daughter took it away. The pressure was finally saved by a music teacher who was kept in the attic. Along with many other violins, the red violin was returned to the Duval auction house by the Chinese government. The irony of the ending is that the forensic expert played by Samuel Jackson used a fake to replace the real one, and it was during the audition who spent more than 2 million to defeat the Abbey and Pope Fund (I don't know what the piano is In the case of "red violin") evaluation of a so-called master violin with no special features.

After watching the disc and listening to the CD, a friend suddenly asked me a question that seemed to have nothing to do with music and movies. Why is it so popular and sought after in Europe? It always revolves around music and the king of art, but when he arrives in China, he is picked up by others. The jewel of the headstock, the later story has always had nothing to do with music?

I was speechless. For a while, I remembered a topic I had argued with a foreign friend a long time ago, why there is no pure music in China. Foreign friends say that your Chinese musicians will only go everywhere, and will not really go into life and use music to discover and sublime life. I am right, because the Chinese have been poor for too long, and they are afraid of poverty. Unlike your Europeans, relying on Government subsidies can also lead to a good life, and in Germany it is even better not to work than to work. Musicians can drink beer, travel around the mountains and rivers, and express their feelings as artists if they want, while Chinese musicians are always struggling on the edge of life. Even if they become famous, they are afraid that one day they will be beaten back to the prototype, and they desperately use this fame to accumulate wealth. Even if they don't want to, they will be tricked by some brokerage company. It turns out that artists are also human beings, and they also have a vulgar side. They also have to eat, drink, and have sex. Sadly, in the past two hundred years, the humiliation of the country's history and the lack of social security have made China a vulgar mess. Finally, there is a national treasure director like Chen Kaige, who can export films like "With You", especially his black satire on the violin teacher played by him has deepened my admiration for him, a man who knows self-examination. Self-critical cultural man. The little protagonist in the story is a rare genius, who is saving this vulgar world with his pureness. In the end, the child gave up the chance to win the show and played the violin for his father at the station. It was really sensational. In addition to his love for his father, I also felt his anger towards the people around him. Watching it, I would cry too. . Not only because I remembered the scene of learning piano when I was a child, if art is only for the pursuit of fame and fortune, it is destined to be the sinking of art. Considering that there are still nearly 100 million poor people in this country with a population of 1.1 billion, it is obviously demanding how many artistic grades the whole people have.

How many times have I dreamed that I can have huge wealth, I can make some very pure artistic things for China, make movies like "Dream of Red Mansions", and make some music like Liang Zhu. Huge wealth will not fall from the sky. If I have no background, I have to know how to live a good life if I want to get wealth. And after all, art is still derived from life. Maybe more people now feel the same way or movies like "Blind Well"! Money, power, life, prostitutes, environmental pollution, embezzlement, theft, fighting, violence, television, internet, rice, oil and salt, toilets, ......
