  • Influences of Music's “Chinese Style” Trend on Related Industry's Profit
    Influences of Music’s “Chinese Style” Trend on Related Industry’s Profit Making Strategy Sizhe Liu Shanghai World Foreign Language Academy, Shanghai 201101, China Email: [email protected] Abstract: “Chinese style” is a new music genre that has developed rapidly in China since the 20th century. As its populari- ty rises, which forms a “Chinese style” trend, the music gradually becomes commercialized and thus affects the profit mak- ing strategy of related firms. In the research, the author is going to explain and evaluate these strategies and their causes. Keywords: Chinese style, popular music, industry, audience 1. Introduction The rapid development of “Chinese style” popular music in China has greatly changed the field of popular music since 21 century. This popular music genre, involving traditional poetry, traditional melody, traditional culture, modern singing method, modern arrangement, and modern concept, attracts a huge number of young audiences. The author, in a new angle of view, analyses Chinese style music in the perspective of economics. Because many related industries of Chinese style music want to seize this opportunity of the music genre’s popularity, various strategies are used to make a profit. The effectiveness of these strategies and their influences to the future development of Chinese style music are worth exploring. Therefore, in this study, the author analyses and evaluates the profit making strategies of the related firms. 2. Literature review From databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP, the author found that early researches have fully analyzed the music musical features of Chinese style music in both aspects of composition and lyrics.

  • An Ideological Analysis of the Birth of Chinese Indie Music
    REPHRASING MAINSTREAM AND ALTERNATIVES: AN IDEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BIRTH OF CHINESE INDIE MUSIC Menghan Liu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill Esther Clinton © 2012 MENGHAN LIU All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis project focuses on the birth and dissemination of Chinese indie music. Who produces indie? What is the ideology behind it? How can they realize their idealistic goals? Who participates in the indie community? What are the relationships among mainstream popular music, rock music and indie music? In this thesis, I study the production, circulation, and reception of Chinese indie music, with special attention paid to class, aesthetics, and the influence of the internet and globalization. Borrowing Stuart Hall’s theory of encoding/decoding, I propose that Chinese indie music production encodes ideologies into music. Pierre Bourdieu has noted that an individual’s preference, namely, tastes, corresponds to the individual’s profession, his/her highest educational degree, and his/her father’s profession. Whether indie audiences are able to decode the ideology correctly and how they decode it can be analyzed through Bourdieu’s taste and distinction theory, especially because Chinese indie music fans tend to come from a community of very distinctive, 20-to-30-year-old petite-bourgeois city dwellers. Overall, the thesis aims to illustrate how indie exists in between the incompatible poles of mainstream Chinese popular music and Chinese rock music, rephrasing mainstream and alternatives by mixing them in itself.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Stephen Chow: the King of Comedy, Oct 6—12
    BAMcinématek presents Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy, Oct 6—12 “The reigning king of Hong Kong comedy.”—J. Hoberman Co-presented with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York. The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 8, 2014—From Monday, October 6 through Sunday, October 12, BAMcinématek presents Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy, an eight-film retrospective of the Hong Kong actor, writer, and director. Chow’s audaciously anarchic comedies combine surreal sight gags, non sequiturs, extensive pop culture quoting, and gravity-defying martial arts to sublimely silly effect. Endlessly inventive, the reigning king of Hong Kong mo lei tau (―nonsense comedy‖) yields unfiltered cinematic pleasure. Initially prominent as a children’s television star, Chow became synonymous with mo lei tau, a style of film comedy in which traditional melodramas and kung fu tales are peppered with rapid- fire, fourth-wall-breaking slapstick bits and corny puns. A bigger box-office draw in his homeland than Jackie Chan or Jet Li, Chow—who cites Spielberg and Kubrick, along with Jim Carrey, as influences—has used his clout in recent years to fashion himself as an auteur, scripting, editing, and directing a series of high-budget, homage-filled blockbusters. Typical of Chow’s earliest hits, Johnnie To’s Justice, My Foot! (1992—Oct 8) casts the actor as a fast-talking lawyer whose mouth gets him into trouble, and whose kung fu-fighting wife gets him out of it—one of many tough, smart heroines Chow uses as foils for his feckless alter egos.
