Chapter 53 The Master of "Leave" illuminates the 1980s

The scene was quiet, and everyone was watching Chen Lin at the press conference.

Either out of politeness or really listened to it.

When Chen Lin was telling these things, his voice was very light, and he did not have the special means of adjusting the atmosphere as ordinary talk show actors. Just like ordinary chats, it made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

"I still remember that my dad told me that he saved up change for several months in order to buy a photo of Tan Yonglin's "Love in the Roots."

"In fact, the whole world was thawing in the 1980s. We just reformed and opened our eyes to understand the world. Almost every day, Western things have been spread to China!"

"By the way, I almost forgot that in the 1980s, there were also a group of writers, Wang Shuo, Su Tong, Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Lu Yao, Jia Ping'ao, etc.!"

"Of course there is Michael Jackson who emerged in the 1980s! A group of American music masters including Madonna, U2, Guns and Rose, etc."

"There is one thing worth mentioning. In 1985, a large-scale music performance in the world, LiveAid, was to save the Great Famine in Africa. From 1982 to 1984, Africa suffered a great famine for three consecutive years. At that time, a British band lead singer named Bob Geldof, aimed at raising funds for the famine that occurred in Africa. It was an unprecedented star-studded event in history."

"Everyone knows that European and American musicians are different from our country. They generally do not participate in the platter singing. For that concert, more than 100 famous singers from all over the world participated in this charity performance. Among them were Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springstin, Tina Turner, Elton John, Queen, U2, Madonna Siconi... In fact, our country also wanted to perform a show at that time, but it was not approved by the above. It was an application submitted by Lao Cui and the others. Of course, we also made a concert of 'Let the world be full of love' by a hundred singers! There are also Taiwan, and they called 'Tomorrow will be better'."

"At that time, the global communications satellite network broadcast live broadcasts to more than 140 countries, attracting nearly 1.5 billion TV audiences in total. At the same time, raising 80 million US dollars!"

"Music changes the world! The greatest and most important performance on earth!"

"As a scholar said, 'As long as the familiar musical melody sounds, it will immediately arouse people's infinite nostalgia for the 1980s!'"

"The 1980s, an innocent era, a hot era, a perfect era where various pop cultures are integrated, and a time of endless fine products. In that era, you can feel the endless aftertaste of film and television works, very cool musical melodies, and the dynamic and passionate Disco dance steps everywhere..."

"Masters come in groups, including movies, literature, and music. The stars are blooming, but they do not leave any of them when they leave. This is the law of literature and art, regardless of the East and the West. When it is mediocre, all fields are mediocre."

"Jay Chou today, everyone thinks it's very good, but it's still impossible to compare with Luo Dayou, who was alone and alone, awakening the entire Taiwan society with music, or Cui Jian, who woke up millions of people with one voice. Because today are entertainment stars, it's impossible to match the large number of artists who made great contributions to the entire people, society, and the times and the country at that time! The same is true in the United States. Do you say that today's ladygaga, Taylor Swift, can you compare with those back then? Can you compare with U2? Can you compare with Michael Jackson?"

"In the 1980s, the most important things happened in the world in the last century, such as the collapse of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the most powerful military empire in the world, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the collapse of Eastern Europe marked the whole world towards peace. You may not know that before the 1980s, many people in the world were preparing to wear umbrellas every day to prevent atomic bombs. Today, the younger generation did not understand that era. That era was called the Cold War between the East and the West. There were tens of thousands of atomic bombs aimed at each other. Just press this button and the earth was destroyed! At that time, the people of the East and the West were ready at any time and there would be no such war!"

"The Cold War finally ended in the late 1980s, and the people of the world moved towards peace. The masters awakened the spirits of various countries that had been destroyed in the 1960s and 1970s, and regained their faith! But those masters did not expect that the faith they regained and the rebuilt ideals were lost in various countries in just over twenty years! The whole loss was unexpected, and it may be because the light in the 1980s was too dazzling, so when it was extinguished, it came very quickly!"

"It only took more than 20 years from the beauty of that time to the decline of the present! From 100 years ago, generations of young people have always been in the world, roaming the world with the dream of transforming the country, and wanting to be the masters of the world. The same was true 20 years ago. The ideal of young people now becomes that I want to be the masters of a room. If you ask a young person's ideal, he will tell you directly, I want to be famous, I want to make money, I want to buy a house, I go! Buying a house has become an ideal!"

"I often see young people discussing on Weibo, saying, "Those who write poetry must have bought houses, or they don't even write poems in the place where they live?" I said you should read Du Fu's "The Song of the Thatched Hut Destroyed by the Autumn Wind": "In August, the high wind in autumn is roaring, and the three-fold thatch on my house is rolling up. Why do you have to buy a house first when doing anything? He doesn't know how many young people destroyed their homes for their ideals for their ideals, and now young people are firmly convinced that if they don't buy a house, they have to sleep on the street. In fact, half of the people in the United States do not buy a house!"

"The Oscars in the 1980s had a great movie selected every year, but after watching the Oscars, no one would buy it and put it in the bookshelf to collect it. The same is true for us. At that time, there were "Loess Land" and "Farewell My Concubine" now... Now is an era where masters are still alive, but they can no longer make a living movie.

"The 1980s was the peak of the field of culture and art. I envy those who grew up in the 1980s, especially those in their forties today, because when they were in their teens and early twenties, they were all lighthouses on the sea, illuminating the sea!"

"So why people call this generation of people with ideals? It's not that they have any ideals in their natural genes, but because they grew up under the light of a bunch of idealistic masters, and the sea was illuminated by the lighthouse, and you know where you are going. Even if the lighthouses are extinguished later and the sea is dark, they basically know which direction they are going. Although there may be a lot of dust and soil on the road, they will be swayed by commerce, but the general direction will not be wrong, and they still have to go to that place."
