After leaving Yangyin's gate, Ying Kant did not directly return to the club, but hurried to the house. He was used to writing articles at home. At this moment, because of Li Yange's last sentence "The nation is the world", Ying Kant's mind was filled with countless inspirations. He had to go home as soon as possible, hide in the house alone, and write down his inner excitement with a pen.

"I first met Li Yange in the office of the director of the composition department of the Central Conservatory of Music. When I saw his first face, I was extremely surprised. It is hard to imagine that a young man born in 1968 and just turned 20 this year was nominated for the Oscar for Best Composer Award, which was the highest honorary award in the American film industry..."

Ying Kant wrote straight and spent more than an hour writing an article of nearly 5,000 words. Perhaps it was the soreness and swelling of his wrist, which made him put down his pen to read the article and move his wrist.

After reading the content of the article with ten lines at a glance, Ying Kant thought about it and felt that the last sentence was a bit redundant. He picked up the pen and crossed the last line. However, looking at the article that had missing that sentence, he felt hesitant and had been struggling for a long time, but finally decided to add the content of the crossed sentence.

...

...

On the other hand, when Li Yange heard Director Tang ask him to prepare for his final speech, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Director Tang, let's forget it. I've just returned to China and not resting yet, I was called from Rongcheng in a hurry. You should leave the final speech to someone else. When I really win the award, if you want to help me hold a personal speech in the auditorium, I will definitely agree with it and ensure that the task is completed."

"I still want to give a speech in the auditorium!" Director Tang gave Li Yange a blank look. He really thought that anyone could give a speech in the auditorium.

"Okay, if you don't want to, it's better not go back first these days. I guess the People's Daily will publish an article soon. It's not too late for you to leave after reading it. And since you're back, you have to take the final exam."

"take an exam?!"

Li Yange's face turned embarrassed. He hadn't read a book for two months, so why would he take the exam?

It would be fine if this was a folk music department exam, but at least he had decades of foundation, but the composition department itself has only been in more than a year, and he is still learning a lot of the knowledge in books.

"What? Don't want to take the exam?"

"Without Director Tang, even you know that I have been in the United States for the past two months and have no time to read books. I suddenly have to take the final exam. I feel unsure."

It was rare to see Li Yange's embarrassed look. Director Tang laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You must take the exam, but I have also mentioned it to the yard. No matter how your grades are, you will not delay it. It's just a formality."

"That's OK."

When Li Yange heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Director Tang instructed Li Yange not to return to Rongcheng these days and to leave after the final exam, so he turned around and entered the school. The winter vacation was about to begin, and he still had a lot to be busy with.

Watching Director Tang leave, Li Yange looked around and walked towards Chang'an Street. He originally wanted to go back to the dormitory to look for Guo Yazhi, but when he thought of the company, he decided to go back to the company first.

I don’t know how the new company’s office building has been renovated in the past two months and whether the staff has been recruited.

...

...

A few days later.

There is a hint of New Year's atmosphere in Beijing.

Because in half a month, it will be the end of the year.

Many people have been busy all year to get a good rest during the Chinese New Year and reunite with their families.

Early in the morning that day, Tang Jiaping carried a briefcase and rode his bicycle to the unit. He was a member of the preparation team for the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. Now that the Asian Games are getting closer and closer, the members of their group are getting busier, because now, except for the gymnastics performance of a large group, the rest of the performances are still to be determined.

As soon as Tang Jiaping arrived at the office, he heard Liu Chenguang sitting opposite him say, "Old Tang, why did he come so early today? Didn't you eat at home?"

"My lover has returned to her parents' home, so I bought some buns outside in the morning."

Tang Jiaping raised the meat buns in paper bags on his hand, put the briefcase on his seat, picked up the stainless steel tea cup, grabbed a little tea leaves and put it in, and went indirectly to the tea.

"Is this a conflict with my sister-in-law?"

Liu Chenguang smiled and said, "I said Lao Tang, you can't do this. If you work, you still have to take good care of your family."

"There is any conflict? Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? She went back to buy something for her family to buy more."

Tang Jiaping sat down and looked at the time on his watch. At 7:40, there was still half an hour before going to work, which was enough for breakfast.

"Have the newspaper arrived today?"

"Arrival, go get it yourself on the table in front."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jiaping walked over and picked up a few copies of today's newspapers and started reading them. When he was about to find a copy to read, a title from the People's Daily suddenly attracted his attention.

"Only the nation is the world" - "A brief discussion on how to establish cultural confidence"

Is the nation the world?

Cultural confidence?

Both words were very fresh, which made Tang Jiaping feel a little interested. He took the newspaper and quickly returned to his position.

After spreading the newspaper and quickly finding the article in the title, Tang Jiaping picked up a big meat bun and read the content of the article while gnawing.

"On January 15, 1988, the Hollywood Post announced the nomination list for the 60th Academy Awards. I think everyone is unfamiliar with this award. It is a film award sponsored by the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences. It was founded in 1929..."

"On the list of nominations for this year's Oscars, there are many famous international film soundtrack masters. They are all leaders in the industry, and Li Yange, who was nominated, is definitely well deserved..."

The first half of the article is about introducing a young man named Li Yange who won an American Film Composition Award and some Q&A content. This made Tang Jiaping frown when he read it. Isn’t it about cultural confidence, and the nation’s is the world?

Then continue reading.

"On the way to the school gate, I asked Li Yange if he had anything to say to his classmates, such as how to make his works in line with the international mainstream..."

"Li Yange answered me like this: If you want to go international, you have to create more national music that belongs to us, rather than learning Western instruments extensively and creating music with Western music as the main body. This is not a matter of being self-confidence, but to learn from the skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians and incorporate more modern elements into national music, rather than completely abandoning traditional music like some people..."

"Whether it is literature, music, poetry, or food, they are all carriers of national culture. The cultures of countries around the world are different. For example, when it comes to Britain, everyone knows Shakespeare and classical music; when it comes to France, everyone knows literary masterpieces such as Stendhal, Balzac, Duma, and Hugo, as well as world famous works such as Notre Dame de Paris, the Earl of Monte Cristo, and the Tragic World..."

"When it comes to China abroad, it is difficult for foreigners to say our cultural carriers. Perhaps some people know the Great Wall and some people know the Forbidden City, but these are not enough. We have to let foreigners know that we not only have ancient and great buildings, but also have a long cultural heritage of 5,000 years..."

"After several days of investigation, I obtained a data. From 1980 to the present, in 8 years, the number of immigrants in a certain city has reached 300,000. Among these people, there are very few who are qualified to apply for immigration. Most of them choose to marry to obtain foreign immigration qualifications..."

"Cultivation is a kind of confidence. If we don't have confidence ourselves, how can we talk about letting our culture go international? As Li Yange said, only the nation is the world.

Perhaps when many years later, foreigners can be like us, not only can they understand the cruelty and struggle in the Symphony of Destiny, but also can understand the nobleness and elegance of "Three Plum Blossoms", can experience love and beauty from "To Alice", and can also understand the heroic and wild personality in "Willing into the Wine"..."

“If you want to go international, you have to create more music for our own.

The same is true in other cultural fields. Whether it is literary works, poetry, movies, etc., only when creating our Chinese style can we go far in the international world!

At the end of my writing, I wish Li Yange can successfully win the 60th Academy Award for Best Composition. Perhaps when Li Yange's works come to the international stage, more and more Chinese people will create works belonging to Chinese culture and enter a broader international market!”
