Chapter 297 A new genre, a pioneering work
The chorus of "East Wind Breaks" has finally arrived.
"Who is playing the song Dongfeng Po on the pipa?
Time peels off the wall and I see my childhood,
I still remember that we were still very young at that time,
But now the sound of the piano is faint, and you haven’t heard my waiting~"
Gu Jingshan suddenly stopped writing and slammed the notebook shut.
This action made everyone look at him.
"What's wrong, Lao Gu, aren't these lyrics bad?"
Gu Jingshan shook his head and let out a long sigh.
This appearance made Wu Gaofeng also interested, and he reached out to pause the music.
"What's going on? It sounds good to me?"
"It's not very good, it's very good." Gu Jingshan was silent for a moment and said in a difficult voice.
"Tell me about it?" Everyone was a little surprised. Gu Jingshan is a veteran lyricist, and his reputation is no less than that of ordinary celebrities. Now he is asked to write lyrics for a starting price of five thousand yuan per word. It is not too much to say that a word is worth a thousand dollars.
Everyone wants to know about the lyrics that he recognized so much.
Gu Jingshan shook his head, "Let's finish listening first."
So the music continues.
"Who is playing the song Dongfeng Po on the pipa?
Maple Leaf dyes the story and I can see through it.
I will lead you through the ancient path outside the fence,
The years of smoke and grass,
Even when they broke up, they were silent..."
After the song ended, everyone had something to say, but at the same time they looked at Gu Jingshan, because he had the biggest reaction.
Gu Jingshan opened his notebook and said, "I won't talk about the music. You are all experts, so I'll just talk about it from the perspective of the lyrics."
He thought for a while and simply turned on the projector, clicked on "East Wind Break", put the lyrics on the wall, and clicked pause.
Gu Jingshan's status in the Chinese music scene is somewhat similar to Fang Wenshan. He is Wu Gaofeng's imperial lyricist.
"Art is actually a dialogue with the world. I have always been thinking about the appearance and expression of lyrics and words after they are separated from the music melody."
"Words and music are combined, so there is a song. So if the lyrics are taken out separately, can they also be regarded as a work of art?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In fact, since ancient times, poetry itself has been a work of art. It does not need anyone to sing it, but it can still be passed down through the ages.
Speaking of this, Gu Jingshan looked a little lonely, "But unfortunately, although my attempt can't be said to be a failure, it can't be considered a success. At least no one will take out the lyrics to appreciate it alone."
"The song "East Wind Breaks" gives me hope. Maybe someone can do what I can't do and write lyrics as poetry."
Gu Jingshan was a little excited and a little emotional as he spoke, with a complicated look on his face.
"Our traditional literature pays attention to artistic conception, and artistic conception is generated on the basis of imagery. I extracted the key words of "Dongfeng Po", "cup, door, moon, candlelight, pot, wine, water, flower, pipa, falling , year, quiet, east wind, maple leaves, ancient roads, desolate smoke" are all extremely common images in classical literature, and there is nothing surprising about them."
Gu Jingshan gestured with the laser pointer on the wall, "The rare thing is that although there are so many images, this song is not piled up randomly, unlike some songs that just pile up words and make them up randomly, which looks gorgeous. , In fact, it makes no sense and can only deceive people who don’t understand anything.”
Several people were silent. They had seen this happen many times, especially the so-called ancient songs with gorgeous lyrics.
"This song reminds me of the night when the candles are burned out, the room is dark, and the wanderer who has returned from wandering is standing in front of the window holding a wine glass, watching the bright moon hanging high, drinking under the moonlight."
"This kind of scene naturally comes to mind with the music."
Gu Jingshan said so excitedly that his saliva flew everywhere, "It's very advanced to integrate these images into pop music lyrics and connect them with personal pronouns."
"In the lyrics, a lot of personification and comparison techniques are used. For example, "The candlelight that is awake in the middle of the night cannot bear to blame me harshly." How can the "candlelight" be "awake", and how can it be "harsh"?"
"This is of course a method of personification - describing the candlelight as a human being, and even the candlelight cannot bear to be disturbed or criticized, and then use this to bring out the lonely atmosphere surrounding the protagonist."
"Another example is the "warm" and "thin" in "Wine Warm, Memories and Missing Thin". This is a master who convinced me. He has mastered every word to the extreme. This is a true work of everyone who chooses words and sentences as he pleases. It is appreciated by both refined and popular tastes. ”
Gu Jingshan analyzed it for a while, and the more he analyzed it, the more excited he became.
If you know him personally, it is not difficult to understand why he is so gaffe-like.
Before last year, or to be precise, before Xu Nuo appeared, although the Chinese music scene was named after Chinese surnames, it was actually greatly influenced by the West. Before his appearance, pop music singers basically had foreign backgrounds, and their music styles were also from other countries. style.
A large number of singers sang covers and adapted songs. Gu Jingshan was not convinced and always wanted to stick to a different path. The things of his ancestors should not be buried.
"East Wind Break" allowed him to see the hope of rising, which is a new genre.
Several master composers made analyzes from the perspective of composition and arrangement.
In the end, everyone agreed that the lyrics, music, arrangement, soundtrack, rhythm, environment creation, and emotional mobilization of "East Wind Break" were all impeccable. This is a song worthy of the gods.
Wu Gaofeng deeply agrees with this. He is even glad that his album release coincided with Shen Kaiwen. At that time, he won very easily.
But if he collided with "New Era", he himself would not have much confidence.
Regardless of the role of a singer, Nuo Yan is a newcomer, but who newcomer has such a terrifying influence?
Experts say that as soon as "East Wind Breaks" came out, it was like a bomb, no, a nuclear bomb was thrown into the music circle.
The music scene suddenly exploded.
In the Avengers group.
"I may never be able to write a song like "East Wind Breaks" in this life."
"If you are more confident, you will definitely not be able to write."
They feel that although they are alive, they are actually dead. When "Dongfeng Po" came out, they were already dead.
"Looking at it from another perspective, can we also learn from Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu's method?"
"23 years old, first album, promise to become a god?"
"The promised 23-year-old, wealth and freedom, reaching the pinnacle of life, becoming a god with an album, creating miracles with a movie, my 23-year-old, three thousand is three thousand!"
"If you accept it, Promise will be the eternal god in the Chinese music scene."
There is a lot of discussion in the music circle. Many people feel that they have found a new way of thinking. As long as they follow the promise, they can make a living.
It has been proven before that they write whatever they promise, even if the quality is not good, as long as it is well written, fans will still buy it.
At this time, Gu Jingshan stood up and stated: ""East Wind Break" will be an epoch-making work, worthy of the album title "New Era"."
This is the first big shot with a big head to express his position.
Next, there are many celebrities who have relatively good relationships with each other. This is also the norm in the entertainment industry. Everyone helps each other and gradually forms a small circle.
It's just that Gu Jingshan has a special status. He doesn't belong to this circle. Strictly speaking, he doesn't belong to the big circle of the mainland music scene.
On the other hand, he represents Wu Gaofeng to a certain extent. This is also the second time Wu Gaofeng has expressed his goodwill.
With more and more publicity, market feedback for "Dongfeng Po" comes extremely quickly.
Almost an hour after the song went online, discussions were already everywhere online.
"This song uses Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu, and the instruments include erhu, pipa, guzheng, harp, piano, etc. This kind of song seems a bit fresh."
"Is it a new genre?"
Netizens are talking a lot, but they can't explain why.
At this time, the famous composer, Mr. Lu Xinzhi, stood up. The old man usually rarely plays with scarves, but it does not mean that he is an antique.
"This is a new genre. As for the naming, I personally think it can be named after the national style songs of the Chinese nation, called Chinese style."
The name "Chinese style" was immediately recognized by most people, and everyone cheered.
If "Chinese style" can be carried forward, it means that we finally have a pop music style of our own.
Whether it is rap, rock, jazz or other music, they all originate from the West, which makes it even more difficult to surpass each other.
Only by finding another way and overtaking in corners can we have a chance to fight them.
The wisdom of our ancestors is endless. For example, in the automotive field, gasoline vehicles lagged behind for decades, and the gap was almost insurmountable. Then just when gasoline vehicles dominated the world, hybrid and electric vehicles emerged.
New energy vehicles began to overtake in corners, and Liangtian lost ground.
This is the meaning of finding a new path, and the emergence of "Dongfeng Po" is that new path.
Lu Xinzhi not only provided a naming idea, but also deeply analyzed why "Dongfeng Po" is an epoch-making song.
Plus one music critic after another gave it crazy likes.
The Chinese music scene is booming, and a huge wave has swept everyone and the entire Internet.
"This song has conquered four generations of my family. My grandfather, my parents, me, and my nephew all approved of this song."
"I can no longer read "Who is playing the song Dongfeng Po on Pipa" in a normal tone!"
After repeatedly bombarding everyone's ears, this lyric has abruptly changed many people's reading habits for decades.
"Who is playing the song Dongfeng Po on the pipa?" When my eyes saw this sentence, my brain automatically replaced it with the rhythm of singing.
When Xu Nuo saw Lu Xinzhi's scarf, his expression was a little weird. The old man actually got his original name back by some strange combination of circumstances.
He interacted with the old man on his scarf, "This style is originally based on classical music and created with modern lyrics. It should be called Chinese style."
The person involved came out and expressed his approval of the new genre of "Chinese style". From then on, there was a new genre in the Chinese music scene, and Xu Nuo became the founder of this genre.
"By the way, have you listened to "Nocturne"? After listening to it once, I couldn't stop playing it."
Only then did everyone remember that there were two new songs today.
It's just that "Dongfeng Break" was so strong that everyone actually ignored the new song for a while.
