Chapter 297 A new genre, a pioneering work
The chorus of "East Wind Breaks" has finally arrived.
"Who is playing a song on the pipa, Dong Feng Po,
The years are peeling off the wall and I see my childhood,
I still remember that we were all still very young,
>
And now you have never heard the faint sound of the piano, my waiting~"
Gu Jingshan suddenly stopped writing and closed the notebook with a snap.
This action made everyone look at
“What’s wrong, Lao Gu, are 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 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.
Everyone wants to know about the lyrics that he recognized so much.
Gu Jingshan shook his head, "Let's finish listening first."
The music continued.
"Who is playing the east wind breaking on the pipa?
The maple leaves dye the story and I can see through the ending.
I will lead you through the ancient road outside the fence,
>
In these days of smoke and grass,
even breakups are silent..."
After the song ended, everyone had something to say, but at the same time they looked at Gu Jingshan, because he reacted The biggest.
Gu Jingshan opened his notebook and said, "I won't talk about the music. You are all experts, so I will only talk about it from the perspective of lyrics. "
He thought for a while and simply turned on the projector, clicked on "East Wind Break" and 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 talking to 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 alone, 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."
""East Wind Breaks" "This song gives me hope. Maybe there are people who can do what I can't do and write lyrics as poems."
Gu Jingshan said with excitement and emotion. complex.
“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" as "cup, door, moon, candlelight, pot, wine, water" , flowers, pipa, fall, year, quietness, east wind, maple leaves, ancient roads, wild smoke" are all very common images in classical literature, which is not surprising."
Gu Jingshan holds a laser pointer He gestured 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 up random words. They look gorgeous, but in fact they are nonsense. Can fool people who don’t know 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 holding a wine glass, standing in front of the window, watching the bright moon hanging high, drinking under the moonlight.”
“This kind of scene comes to mind naturally with the music.”
Gu Jingshan said so excitedly that spittle flew everywhere, “Incorporate these images into pop music lyrics, It's very advanced when connected with personal pronouns."
"The lyrics use a lot of personification and metaphor, such as "the candlelight that wakes up in the middle of the night, can't bear to blame me", "candlelight". "Sober", 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 of 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. "Elegant and popular alike."
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 Hua, it was actually greatly influenced by the West. Before his appearance, pop music singers basically had foreign backgrounds and music styles. They are also the styles of other countries.
A large number of singers sang covers and adapted songs. Gu Jingshan was unconvinced and always wanted to stick to a different path. The things of his ancestors should not be buried.
"Dongfeng Po" allowed him to see the hope of rising, which is a new genre.
Several composer masters 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 "Dongfeng Po" are all impeccable. This is a song that can be conferred by gods.
Wu Gaofeng deeply agrees with this. He is even glad that he released an album 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?
As an expert knows, when "East Wind Breaks" came out, it was like a bomb, no, a nuclear bomb was thrown into the music circle.
The music industry 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 it."
They feel that although they are alive, they are actually dead Well, they were already dead when "East Wind Break" came out.
“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, an album becoming a god, a movie creating miracles, my 23-year-old, three thousand is three thousand!"
"I am convinced, the promise is Chinese The eternal god in the music industry.”
There is a lot of discussion in the music circle. Many people feel that they have found a new way of thinking and can make a living as long as they follow the promise.
It has been proven before that they will write whatever they promise, even if the quality is poor, as long as it is written well, fans will still buy it.
This is when 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, to a certain extent, he represents Wu Gaofeng's meaning. This is also the second time Wu Gaofeng has expressed his goodwill.
More and more publicity has made the market feedback for "Dongfeng Po" come extremely quickly.
Almost an hour after the song went online, discussions were already everywhere online.
“This song uses Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, and the musical instruments include erhu, pipa, guzheng, harp, piano, etc. This kind of song seems a bit fresh.”
“ Is it a new genre?”
Netizens are talking about it, but they can’t explain why.
At this time, the famous composer master, 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 name, I personally think it can be named after the national style songs of the Chinese nation. It is called Chinese style."
The name "Chinese style" has caught the attention of most people at once recognition, 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. The emergence of "Dongfeng Po" is that new path.
Lu Xinzhi not only provided a naming idea, but also gave an in-depth analysis of why "Dongfeng Po" is an epoch-making song.
Plus one music critic after another gave 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 am now It is no longer possible to read "Who is playing a Dongfeng Po on the pipa" in a normal tone? "
After repeatedly bombarding everyone's ears, this lyrics has been changed by many people for decades. reading habits.
"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 mistake.
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. He expressed his recognition of the new genre of "Chinese style", so from then on, a new genre appeared 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 at all."
It was then that everyone remembered 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.
