Chapter 296 Chinese style masterpiece "East Wind Breaks"
Xu Nuo's first album "New Era" released a total of four songs, the first one is a classic, and netizens are waiting for the follow-up.
After returning to Shanghai, Xu Nuo took the time to finish three songs.
Then he sent a scarf: "The three new songs of "New Era", "East Wind Breaks", "Nocturne" and "The Past You" will be uploaded at 12 o'clock. Everyone is welcome to listen."
Three songs, One is the pioneering work of Chinese style, one is a pioneering work of classical music combined with rap, and the other is the pinnacle of folk music.
Since the album is called "New Era", the songs included cannot be too ordinary, at least they must make some breakthroughs in style and type.
As soon as this scarf was released, it attracted widespread attention.
There was a lot of discussion in the comment area.
"What does Dongfeng Po mean? Do you think my Dongfeng 41 is too bad? OK, OK, I'll buy two more packs of cigarettes to support it."
"It sounds a bit like the name of a brand, but I searched and found this poem.”
The popularity on the Internet is so high that the song hasn’t been released yet, so I’ll arrange it first through hot searches.
#Nuoyan’s new song "East Wind Breaks" is suspected to be an ancient style.
# "Nocturne" is suspected to be classical music?
#"Once Upon a Time" Unknown Style
One song and one hot search, the arrangement is clear.
The power established by the first four songs began to show its power at this time. Not long after the scarf was released, the entire Internet was discussing the three new songs.
The words most mentioned by netizens are "Fengshen!" "Hit!" "Explosive killing!" "Start a new era!"
It is indeed an album by Fengshen. Now it seems that the name "New Era" is still a bit conservative. It should be called "Let's Go Together" to fit the album's temperament.
How strong is this album? Let's put it this way, when he announced "Qili Xiang" as the first song, some people expressed their approval of the album, and there were many such voices.
When "Coral Sea" and "Broad Sea and Sky" were released together, everyone in the music industry urgently stopped the song release plan.
It’s everyone, including superstars, top singers, and top streamers.
When "Compendium of Materia Medica" came out, the rap world was also in mourning.
It’s over.
Everyone knows that there is nothing you can do about it. If you rush forward now, you will die.
So there was an unprecedented scene in music. For more than ten days, no new songs were released.
It shows how afraid they are of this album.
Many people are praying, hoping that the album will end here, and that the next album should be lowered, so that they may have a chance to surpass it.
But they may be disappointed, because "Dongfeng Po" is the eternal god of Chinese style songs.
The birth of this song is a major event in the Chinese music scene that is destined to go down in history.
On July 31, 2003, the album "Ye Huimei" was released, which included "In the Name of the Father", "Sunny Day" and the pioneering Chinese style work "East Wind Break".
This song appeared like a nuclear bomb in the Chinese music scene.
"East Wind Break" is the pioneering work of the Chinese style, and it is also the pinnacle of controversy, because there are other hits like "Blue and White Porcelain" later, and the only one who can beat Jay Chou is Jay Chou.
Chinese style songs, before the release of "East Wind Break", refers to adding some ancient Chinese allusions to the songs as a creative background, using modern music to sing a classical flavor, and singing in various ways.
It can only be said to be music with an ancient style.
After the release of "East Wind Break", the Chinese style genre began to rise.
This song tells everyone that Chinese style does not mean it has ancient elements. The real Chinese style should
comply with the standard of "three ancients and three new".
Three ancients and three news refer to ancient poetry, ancient culture, ancient melodies, new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts.
It sounds difficult, but in fact it is not easy at all.
Because Chinese style music mostly adopts the main melody of "palace style", a large number of Chinese musical instruments are used in the arrangement: such as guzheng, Xiao, pipa, etc.
Not only that, but the greater difficulty is that the Chinese pentatonic scale is difficult to compose, and the pentatonic scale is also called "Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu".
The biggest difference between it and other scale forms is that it does not have fa and si, only do, re, mi, sol, la.
This is the origin of tone deafness.
How can you play without two sounds?
There are indeed geniuses in the Chinese music scene who use Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu to write songs, such as "A Laugh in the Sea" and "May People Live Forever", which are all Chinese style in a broad sense.
However, these songs have more than enough national style but not enough fashion.
Chinese style in a narrow sense must be "three ancients and three new", so everyone agrees that "Dongfeng Po" is the originator of Chinese style.
After "East Wind Breaks", a new era of Chinese style songs officially opened.
Since then, the Chinese music scene has ushered in a new genre "Chinese style", and a wave of Chinese style has swept across.
Over the past 21 years, Chinese-style songs have emerged one after another, and many classic works have also appeared in the follow-up.
Jay Chou's pentatonic song "East Wind Breaks" boldly uses piano, pipa, electric drums, guzheng and other musical instruments in the arrangement, giving the song a Chinese-style melody and a Western fashionable rhythm.
"East Wind Break" has the skeleton of Chinese classical music and the flesh and blood of Western pop music.
This song, Xu Nuo, was placed at the fifth song position. To be honest, it was a bit aggrieved.
But the order of position doesn’t matter, after all, the other songs are also top hits.
This is a song destined to "disappoint" all those who expect him to stretch his hips.
After receiving the news, major music platforms immediately produced copywriting and promotional posters.
The home page has a large promotion and arrangement, with the words "An epoch-making work!"
This is a recognition from the music platform. To this day, the "New Era" With only four songs on the album, it has already exploded into countless albums. Whether it is an epoch-making work or not is almost universally agreed upon.
App splash screen pop-up window, arrangement.
App message push, arrangement.
This time, all major music platforms have promised recommendation resources.
On the one hand, it is goodwill towards Xu Nuo. This person has been terrible recently. The CCTV interview is obviously sending a flattering signal.
Whether it was asking questions or promoting him in disguise, they all expressed support from CCTV. Moreover, there was an invitation from the Military Art Center to cooperate, and the golden body turned into armor.
On the other hand, no one has released new songs during this period, and the recommendation slots are all given to recently popular songs. The recommendation resources are unprecedentedly abundant.
Under such circumstances, the exposure of "New Era" is beyond imagination.
At 12 noon, the much-anticipated new song is online.
If nothing else, something unexpected happened. The server was stuck and the page could not be accessed.
Netizens expressed their anger and complained that the music platform was rubbish and could not even open a page.
The old fans are very calm, and in turn, they educate newcomers.
"Calm down, for anything related to promises, it is common for servers to be overwhelmed."
"Yes, yes, my scarf has collapsed several times, and Qiyue.com has even collapsed."
< br>Under the popularization of science by old fans, everyone calmed down.
Ten minutes later, all major music platforms returned to normal one after another.
Everyone rushed to tell each other, “It’s time to listen to music!”
As a result, netizens flocked to listen to the song.
At this time, King Wu Gaofeng was listening to the song.
He Xiuyuan was also listening to the song.
Zhou Hongyuan sat upright and clicked on play.
It can be said that most people in the music industry are listening to music.
Wu Gaofeng was looking forward to it. The first four songs gave him a big surprise.
His intuition told him that there might be more surprising songs later.
As a singer, he loves music and naturally loves real good songs.
In the office, several master composers were with him, and he casually turned on the music.
The clear and clean piano sound sounds unhurriedly, the melody is gentle, the lyrical meaning is very strong, and it is easy to exaggerate the emotions.
Wu Gaofeng nodded slightly. This prelude alone fully revealed the composer's skills.
Although it is not as exciting as the prelude to "Qili Xiang", it is still a rare masterpiece.
At this time, other instruments were suddenly added to the accompaniment. If you listen carefully, it should be the sound of traditional instruments.
“Is this the guzheng?” Wu Gaofeng turned around and asked.
“That’s right.”
We are not weak, and we can tell whether we are masters of classical instruments or not.
Accompanied by the accompaniment of the guzheng, Nuoyan sang with injuries and loneliness.
“A lamp of sorrow, standing alone at the window.
I am behind the door, pretending that you haven’t left yet.
The old place is even more lonely like revisiting the full moon,< br>
The candlelight that wakes me up in the middle of the night cannot bear to criticize me harshly. "
Listening to this song, Wu Gaofeng slowly closed his eyes and uttered a few words almost like a sigh, "Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu! "
As a veteran king, he noticed something was wrong immediately. He has been studying classical music, but no one has ever succeeded in singing a song based on "Gong Shang Jiao Wei Yu".< br>
It’s too difficult, at least that’s what Wu Gaofeng thought.
He opened his eyes and looked around at the masters present. Everyone’s expressions were the same.
< br>
Wu Gaofeng was shocked. Did this song start like this or has it always been like this?
As we all know, pentatonic songs are not easy to write, and it is difficult to write well.
Because you only have five scales, how can you write differently from others?
It’s not difficult to use it occasionally.
But what if...
Wu Gaofeng shook his head, that would be too scary.
Nuoyan is a person who always likes to play tricks, maybe just to show off his skills?
With such a bit of luck, he continued to enjoy the music.
The singing continues.
“A pot of wandering, wandering around the world is hard to swallow.
After you left, the wine warmed my memories and I missed you.
When water flows eastward, time is stolen.
The flowers bloom and mature once, but I miss them. ”
The melody is gentle and the lyrics are elegant.
Exquisite and graceful, but it has the feeling that great joy will come easily.
Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu corresponds to 12356, and the song "East Wind Breaks" is arranged and combined according to these five scales.
Wu Gaofeng sighed as he was having fun.
On the other side, the lyricist Gu Jingshan, who had worked with him for many years, was mumbling words and writing something in a notebook in his hand.
Wu Gaofeng understands him very well. It is a lyricist's occupational disease to chew on words. Whenever he encounters wonderful lyrics, he will behave like this.
Gu Jingshan murmured to himself as if there was no one around, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling.
It was obvious that he was addicted.
