Cui Jian: Rock has been treated unfairly

Rock godfather Cui Jian, and now look at what things are a lot of peace, and not so angry - in addition to the rock itself. Yesterday, publicity for the December 24 concert in Shanghai, in the interview with this reporter, talk about the status of rock 'n' roll is still a bit unhappy: "Rock 'n' Roll to become the mainstream of the TV talent, I actually feel very sorry, why so long before Rock development to the extent now? been rock are being treated unfairly. "

Rock attention only now is a pity

Although almost every year to participate in a music festival or other activities, but Cui Jian has been 20 years not in Shanghai opened their own concert, this time he hopes to bring a "more complete and more in-depth works show. "Shanghai is actually a better attitude towards rock than a lot of the so-called northern cities," he said.

However, even so, the rock's status in China, Cui Jian talks are still sigh endless. "In Western markets, the rock occupy about 70% of the share, but in China, due to reasons of cultural environment and business climate, we feel the rock is not suitable for Chinese music the rock also 'enjoy' marginalization treatment." He said. " now draft a lot of people sing rock and roll, television can only convey a rock performances, but I think, from the TV to see the Rock, is considered a relatively mainstream works. "

Rock now seems only beginning to mainstream, so the Cui Jian feeling regret: "People think rock and roll is not fashion, and to some extent even become something of a hostile, it seems the more fashionable the more they should not touch the rock. Actually in the West, this contest has many rounds, but the rock was still there, but in China, people just started to accept Rock. Mainland Rock is looking at Hong Kong and Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan learn Japan and South Korea, Japan and South Korea over and over again with Europe and the United States, are misplaced. Overall, the rock never seems to have not become the mainstream of Asian music. "

The rock is still lack of a good producer

In the interview, over 50 years old Cui Jian, still retained the Zhilaizhiwang personality, but the title of the "Rock godfather" he said frankly unworthy: "Because I think my work too. Album Slow, because Unlike those people in my work is the assembly line. "and the reason, he said" all the best producers in China today do pop music went, leaving a group did not experience the music people do try to figure out rebuffed in Rock. "

"I need a good producer, from abroad, please, the sound done particularly beautiful can, but I lost my strength. Particularly difficult to find my voice," he said own confusion,, rock musician confused.

However, he is not pessimistic, he said he can see the rock now. "Rock energy, either continue or accumulated to a certain extent, burst out," he said, "Now, a lot of good rock bands out, lonely summer the top floor of the circus like Shanghai, Beijing, and they are particularly hard confidence to do it you can see the progress, musical instrument sales rose from an annual musical instruments fairs, a large number of young people playing musical instruments, but they may stay away from the media, when one day you will know, those people were all up.
