Chapter 92 A landscape that nourishes the soul

I have been to Pingliang in Longdong many times.That is the place where Mr. Zhao Jiping was born.Pink buckwheat flowers bloom all the way to the sky, interspersed with dark green corn groves.Occasionally old willows with dark trunks stood among the fields, casting shadows on the earth.There are many old houses in the village, with faded and reddish Spring Festival couplets pasted on the wooden doors. There are fruit trees in front of and behind the houses, which are not carefully pruned.Not too far away, there will be a pond, with thick reeds planted beside the pond, and on a small hill, there is a black and thin man leading a horse, his figure is set off by the light blue sky behind him.In the distance, there are suonas whistling and whirring—the folk customs here are simple, and it is a tradition to love art. In the universities in Gansu Province, almost half of the art students come from this place.

There are also some places related to him, such as Shahu Lake in Ningxia, in the middle of the golden desert, there is a vast and bright clear water, fluctuating in the midday sun, and the reeds are shaking gently in the middle of the water - that is Zixia Fairy holding the boat where it appears. The most touching piece of music in "A Chinese Journey to the West" appeared at that time.In addition, there is also the Moon Gate in "Red Sorghum" in the Western Studios of Zhenbeibao, and the location of "Yellow Earth" in northern Shaanxi.Danner said in "Philosophy of Art" that "the geographical environment also determines the artistic style", and Zhao Jiping grew up in such a place. Most of his film and television music works in his heyday are related to these places.

But now, in the judges' seat of the singer contest, when he was speaking under the bright lights, would he think of these scenery that nourished him in a trance? Those landscapes that once nourished us, those long, slow early lives, matter to us.For the artist, it is like the rhizobia on the roots of plants and the fat on hibernating animals, which will provide nutrients for consumption for a long period of time.And when Zhao Jiping left all these things and the scenery that he could see, he declared that his consumption would be greater than his savings.What's more, the difference between Zhao Jiping and other musicians is that he is dramatic and has a sense of pictures. His talent needs people and things other than music to be opened—this may be given to him by his painter father. .He needs colors, pictures, plots to mobilize and stimulate him, propositions, situations to be set, even a little bit of urging, a little bit of restriction—something that may become a bondage to others, but it is a soul to him The drumbeat is the fermentation room for cultivating the spirit of concentration.His characteristics determine that he was born for Chinese films in the 1980s. He is a supporting facility for that era that was vigorous, full-bodied, and enthusiastic, and had aspirations and ideals for the West.

And now, the 1980s have passed, the scenery that nourished his soul has gradually faded, his soul and life partner (the first audience for all his works) has passed away, and the once exciting Chinese cinema has paled.He has a job, he performed his large-scale symphonic Peking opera and national symphony "Ode to Peace", but the times couldn't give him what he really needed-a passionate and thick movie, in the cautious "Mei Lanfang" Here, his discreet presence is almost imperceptible. In the wind of the city, I was silent even if I was full of lovesickness.The red mantle falls, the play is over, he is implicated by the happiness at the moment, and he can never go back, and the "80s" and the scenery that nourished his soul have become a hometown that he can't go back to.
