253. Chapter 252 "Blue and White Porcelain"


Chapter 252 "Blue and White Porcelain"

"Xukong is really handsome!"

“I can finally listen to Xu Kong’s new song, and I’ve been looking forward to it since the program was released.”

"Singing and dancing programs are the ones that are discussed the most before they start, and they are probably the ones that are empty."

Looking at the discussion in the live broadcast room, Fat Bird had no intention of directly starting to comment.

After all, Xu Kong was about to start his singing at this time.

Along with the prelude, the name of a new song that had been trending when the Spring Festival Gala program was released appeared on the screen.

""Blue and White Porcelain""

"Singing: Xu Kong"

"Lyrics: Xu Kong"

"Composer: Xu Kong"

……

Although I had expected it for a long time, I knew that Xu Kong's new song would most likely be the same as before, and it was all arranged by Xu Kong.

But when he saw that the name of the songwriter was Xu Kong, it still seemed like a reassurance for Fat Bird.

After all, for now, Fat Bird only has such great trust in the songs written by Xu Kong himself.

"Is this a bamboo flute?"

As soon as the prelude to "Blue and White Porcelain" came out, it was quite recognizable.

This is one of the major characteristics of Xu Kong himself.

Many people know that Xu Kong himself is very capable of writing lyrics and music, but in fact, in terms of arrangement, Xu Kong also directly won the relevant awards of the three major domestic music awards last year.

Even in Fat Bird's view, Xu Kong's own arrangement ability is only due to relatively low attention. Otherwise, he would probably become one of the best producers in the industry just by arrangement alone.

This time, it is similar to the previous "Daoxiang". It is obvious that although Xu Kong's new song arrangement does not include various samples, the instruments used are obviously not traditional ones.

And the most important thing is that as soon as the intro of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" came out, it gave him a feeling unlike many previous songs.

But what exactly it is, Fat Bird doesn't know how to describe it for a while.

……

"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brush strokes, which turn from thick to light"

"The peonies depicted on the bottle are just like your first makeup"

"The scent of sandalwood comes through the window and I understand my thoughts"

“The pen is half written on the rice paper”

As Xu Kong opened his mouth, the background of the stage changed to look like blue and white porcelain.

The Spring Festival Gala is responsible for the stage design of the entire stage.

Overall, it's not particularly complicated, but it echoes the song.

"This song..."

Although Fat Bird is still not a professional, although he has been tinkering with the so-called music theory, he still only knows a little bit about most of it.

But even so, Fat Bird quickly noticed the specialness of Xu Kong's song.

The entire song, from the arrangement to the melody and lyrics, gives people an ancient charm.

But what’s more interesting is that it’s not like ancient-style songs have never appeared before.

Just because it is not particularly in line with the public's aesthetics, it always makes people feel a little old-fashioned or for one reason or another. Although there have been one or two songs that have made a breakthrough, in general, these types of songs are not at all the same as the current popular songs in the Chinese music scene. Not relevant.

But Xu Kong's song retains the charm of the ancient style, but the most critical melody and arrangement give people a completely different experience.

The arrangement and melody all have the performance that modern pop songs should have, or even more outstanding.

It's so special that for a person like Fat Bird, who knows everything, knows everything, and can tell a thing or two about any type of music, he didn't know how to comment for a while.

……

"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain and I'm waiting for you"

"The smoke from the kitchen is rising thousands of miles across the river"

"The Han Dynasty calligraphy on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasties"

"Just think of me as a foreshadowing of meeting you"

When it comes to the chorus, although there are not many high notes and dazzling singing skills.

But it was such a soft stage that seemed to be narrating, which made Fat Bird's whole body goosebumps instantly.

“Damn, it sounds really good!”

"What type is Xu Kong's new song this time? Why can't you even find a similar song style?"

"There is something special about this lyric. It looks like blue and white porcelain, but it is a metaphor for people. I feel that there is a lot of elegance in it..."

At this time, the barrages began to make their own comments.

However, compared with Fat Bird, most ordinary viewers are even less able to tell anything.

For them, whether a song sounds good or not is a very subjective matter.

So although they are all praising it, it’s just that it sounds good and the lyrics are well written, which doesn’t contain much information.

……

"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you"

"The moonlight was salvaged and the ending fainted"

"Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself"

"Your eyes are smiling"

Xu Kong's singing still continued.

The unique style of the song itself even attracted many people who originally regarded the Spring Festival Gala as background music to stop what they were doing and shift their attention to Xu Kong on TV.

"This kid Xu Kong is quite handsome."

"It looks very good..."

For Su Zhi, the reason why she took the initiative to watch the Spring Festival Gala this year was.

In addition to finally having time to spend with his parents, it was simply because Xu Kong attended the Spring Festival Gala this year.

But what she didn't expect was that her parents paid more attention to Xu Kong than she did.

Xu Kong's performance hadn't even ended yet when the two elders began to nod and praise him in unison.

This made Su Zhi quite helpless, and at the same time she didn't know how to answer the question.

But apart from that, what caught her attention the most was Xu Kong's new song for this Spring Festival Gala.

Of course she knew that Xu Kong would sing a new song, and even when she asked the real owner, Xu Kong even offered to sing it to her over the phone in advance.

But in order to retain some suspense and expectations, Su Zhi still refused.

Unexpectedly, when she heard it, as a professional singer, she certainly knew how special Xu Kong's song was.

Although it also has the charm of some self-proclaimed ancient opera music in recent years, the whole song is very different in terms of melody, arrangement, and all aspects.

It can be said that it is not the same thing at all.

In other words, Xu Kong's song "Blue and White Porcelain" is a completely new type of pop music.

It completely broke the previous dilemma of ancient opera music being niche and unable to become completely popular.

It is no exaggeration to say that the new song Xu Kong wrote this time has created a new style that has never been seen in the Chinese music industry.

The most important thing is that when ordinary songwriters write songs in a new style, there are no reference examples in the industry. They should go through a process of exploration, progress, and eventually maturity.

But Xu Kong's "Blue and White Porcelain" can be said to be a bit too complete.

It's not an experimental work at all.

Even Su Zhi, who knew Xu Kong very well, couldn't help but want to ask:

"How on earth did he do it?"

……

"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you" "The moonlight was salvaged, and the ending fainted"

"Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself"

"Your eyes are smiling"

……

As Xu Kong finished singing the last line of lyrics, the accompaniment slowly ended, and Xu Kong's performance came to a relatively successful conclusion.

Overall, Xu Kong was quite satisfied.

Although it was indeed a bit nervous, the intensive rehearsals and stage rehearsals during this period played a big role.

It was a perfect performance with almost no mistakes.

It can even be regarded as the best he has sung during this period.

In fact, the difficulty of singing this song is not too high, at least for the current Xu Kong, it is not a so-called challenge.

It is purely because of the special nature of the Spring Festival Gala that it brings some pressure that is not present on ordinary days.

Coupled with the fact that it was a live broadcast, Xu Kong felt greatly relieved after successfully completing his performance.

The director team mentioned before that Xu Kong can also choose to lip-sync.

After all, for the Spring Festival Gala, the most important thing is to ensure that there are no problems.

For example, for some singers whose singing skills are not up to par, or even those who are not professional singers at all, lip-synching is mandatory for the Spring Festival Gala program team.

But Xu Kong himself still rejected such a proposal.

However, because of the performance during the previous rehearsal, the director team directly agreed without any major objections.

The main reason is that Xu Kong's live performance is really stable. For a singer who has always been a real singer, if he is suddenly asked to lip-sync, it is easy to cause problems because he is not used to it.

……

"Thank you, Teacher Xu Kong, for bringing us new songs this time."

As Xu Kong's performance ended, the two hosts of the Spring Festival Gala walked onto the stage.

However, Xu Kong did not step off the stage after the performance was over, but was left on the stage by the other party.

Of course, all this was already planned.

Even the script was reviewed several times during rehearsals.

"Teacher Xu Kong, I want to know. In this song "Blue and White Porcelain", I can feel the unique ancient charm of China from the song. This is something I have never heard of other songs before."

"How on earth is this done?"

The host who spoke is an official host with relatively senior qualifications and experience.

Even in the Spring Festival evenings these years, there is always the presence of each other.

Therefore, the ability to control the field will certainly not make people worry too much.

Of course, the script was already correct, and Xu Kong was indeed the protagonist during the dialogue in the middle of the program, so the two hosts played their roles very competently.

……

"In this regard, we mainly rely on adding some of our own musical instruments into the arrangement, such as porcelain flutes..."

Xu Kong began to answer seriously.

The two hosts also listened carefully and nodded very seriously.

But if you don’t understand, no one will know.

However, among the people watching the Spring Festival Gala at this time, like Fat Bird, or some colleagues in the current Chinese music scene, they are quite serious.

"That seems to be this type of song. There has never been one before, right?"

—“Anyway, I’ve never heard a song with a similar style to “Blue and White Porcelain” before.”

The two hosts sang and harmonized.

Then Xu Kong opened his mouth and answered:

"I named it Chinese style..."

When Xu Kong said this, it seemed as if he was talking about a common thing.

But the fat bird in front of the screen couldn't help but say:

"Fuck!"

He could feel it before. The style of Xu Kong's song was something he had never heard before.

But what I didn't expect was that Xu Kong actually planned this.

Is this planning to create a new type of pop music?

And it’s still on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala.

What is certain is that with the quality of the song in "Blue and White Porcelain" and Xu Kong's words.

It is estimated that after this year's Spring Festival Gala, the so-called "Chinese style" will become the most discussed topic in the music world this year!

……

"Chinese style?"

"Good name. Does Mr. Xu Kong have any own criteria for defining this type of song?"

Of course, the host didn't know Xu Kong well enough to come up and ask such a question.

The relevant scripts have been reviewed before.

And most of them were written by Xu Kong himself.

"Actually, I have just started trying it myself, and there is no so-called standard."

"But I do have my own ideas that I can share a little bit."

"For example, in the past, there were many outstanding musicians who tried to integrate China's own cultural characteristics into current pop music. I should get part of the inspiration from here."

"I personally think that the Chinese style should be in line with the pattern of three ancients and three new."

"Three ancient words are our own traditional Chinese poetry, ancient culture, and ancient melodies..."

"In terms of the three new aspects, it is necessary to add some new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concept changes to the tradition. After all, strictly speaking, Chinese style is still a type of modern pop music..."

……

The conversation between Xu Kong and the two hosts actually lasted only two or three minutes.

Under Xu Kong's personal suggestion at that time, the previously unvital chat finally turned into one centered around the song "Blue and White Porcelain" that he had just finished singing, and the concept of "Chinese style".

After the director team read the relevant script, they agreed directly.

The name "Chinese Style", coupled with the theme and style of the song itself, is indeed very suitable on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala.

Of course, for Xu Kong himself, the treatment was quite terrifying.

It is estimated that there is no publicity channel with such a wide range and influence as the Spring Festival Gala stage.

It can be said that although Xu Kong only gave a brief introduction, it is foreseeable that after this year's Spring Festival Gala, the popularity of Chinese style will probably completely sweep the entire Chinese music scene, and even the entire current domestic entertainment industry.

……

If Xu Kong mentioned the so-called "Chinese style" before, which was a type of song that had never been heard before, some colleagues were a little unimpressed.

At most, I think Xu Kong did write a new song with a unique style this time, and then casually chose a rather arrogant name for this type of song.

Chinese style, Xu Kong really dared to do it casually.

However, after Xu Kong's so-called concept of "three ancients and three new" and the idea of ​​"Gong Diao Style" as the main theme came out, the expressions of some colleagues who were watching the Spring Festival Gala inevitably changed a lot.

Xu Kong didn't just randomly pick a name out of nowhere. He was completely prepared.

And there is even speculation that Xu Kong had written this song a long time ago, just to wait for a stage and opportunity like the Spring Festival Gala to be released.

Otherwise, since there are so many ideas and research, why have no similar songs been released before, or even the idea has been mentioned.

He waited until he polished an obviously mature song like "Blue and White Porcelain", and then even waited until it was released on the most influential party stage like the Spring Festival Gala.

This is a little too bearable!

Although the Spring Festival Gala is not over yet, Fat Bird can almost already think of the relevant hot searches tomorrow.

Xu Kong is so outrageous, even if it is the Spring Festival Gala, with so many people and programs participating, he can still become the focus.
