Chapter 261 Xu Kong is several versions ahead of the entire Chinese music scene!
"Who is playing the pipa, a song breaks in the east wind"
"The years are peeling off the wall, but I still remember when I saw my childhood"
"We were all very young that year"
"But now the sound of the piano is faint, but you haven't heard my waiting"
……
As soon as Dongfeng Po's chorus came out, the audience watching the live broadcast was so excited that they couldn't express their emotions.
During the Spring Festival Gala, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" was not only stunning, but actually gave everyone the biggest feeling. It was nothing more than Chinese style, a genre that they had never been exposed to before.
I just think it's novel and I can't find anything similar to it.
In fact, not many people can really know what the so-called Chinese style is.
Subsequently, many people followed the trend and claimed to be Chinese-style music in the market.
But it doesn't have the very unique charm of "Blue and White Porcelain" at all, especially the melody. It's really hard to remember after listening to it once, and it's hard to forget.
But when the song "East Wind Breaks" came out, the familiar feeling came back.
Although the two songs are different in almost every aspect, anyone who has listened to the two songs can tell that the two songs are of the same genre.
That is the so-called Chinese style.
The melody, artistic conception, and more importantly, the arrangement of modern pop music combined with the unique ancient charm of China are completely different from the previous parody.
"It's this kind of smell, it's the same as the feeling that "Blue and White Porcelain" gave me at that time."
"This is the Chinese style. I would say that the previous songs were too poorly imitated."
"I think this chorus is better than "Blue and White Porcelain". Xu Kong did not write "Blue and White Porcelain" just after inspiration. He has now completely mastered the Chinese style."
……
The audience who were watching the live broadcast started to get excited at this time.
Before the live broadcast of "Singer" started, everyone still had a lot of doubts about Xu Kong's new Chinese-style song.
But now that the song comes out, Xu Kong hardly needs to say any defense or explanation. The song "Dongfeng Po" itself is the best response that can make everyone just shut up and listen to the song.
"In these days of smoke and grass, even breakups are silent"
Xu Kong's singing in the first half has just ended, and what follows is the instantly recognizable erhu solo.
Compared with the piano, which was just a supporting instrument in the prelude before, now it has completely become the protagonist. The atmosphere is created with a touch of sadness, but it makes people feel as if they are immersed in the scene. The goosebumps on Fat Bird's body are almost like He got up in an instant.
"I feel that the quality of this song "Dongfeng Po" is not inferior to the previous "Blue and White Porcelain", or even higher!"
"Although the creation methods are similar, no matter the arrangement, melody and lyrics, they all have a more natural feeling..."
Fat Bird said these words almost subconsciously.
There is no way, because he is different from traditional music critics. Some music critics in the past wrote their song reviews after listening to the songs or watching the performances, thinking carefully about their wording or ideas.
But as for Fat Bird, the ones with better data are his impromptu and sharp comments.
Not to mention that this kind of talent is rare, but it is true that Fat Bird is currently the number one person on the track.
I was born to eat this food.
So after he made this comment, he realized that he was still a media judge on the scene and quickly stopped.
But these words still reached the ears of the music director who was already familiar with him, as well as many surrounding media judges.
It happened that these comments hit the hearts of a few people. Although they didn't give much feedback, in fact, several people around Fat Bird were silently nodding in approval.
……
At this time, the two people in the lounge who had just finished the performance had different expressions.
Lan Shu was out of danger of elimination due to the number of votes, and he was in a relatively relaxed state.
But in comparison, she didn't feel that much about Xu Kong's performance.
It's not that she doesn't know the influence of Chinese style and the quality of Xu Kong's "East Wind Breaks".
But in her opinion, these actually have little to do with herself.
After all, Xu Kong is indeed the protagonist of this episode and has not run away, so although she is not convinced that she was fooled, it is hard to be happy.
The main reason was because he contacted Xu Kong through Jian Junfang last time.
I want to invite the other person to dinner and invite him to sing at the same time.
But because Xu Kong suddenly had something to do, he left Star City directly after the recording.
Being rejected from an appointment is not a pleasant thing to happen to anyone, but because the opposite person is Xu Kong, it is difficult for Lan Shu to lose his temper.
This has caused Lan Shu to feel very conflicted. On the one hand, she really doesn't like Xu Kong, and even feels disgust in her heart from time to time.
Especially when I think of the other person at such an age, he can have such high popularity and influence.
Comparing myself to my past self, it is inevitable that there is a big gap in my heart.
But in addition, Lan Shu has a need for Xu Kong's songs.
Since she had to ask for help from others, she could only hide her little emotions as much as possible.
After all, when the matter was not yet determined, although Xu Kong broke the appointment, it was not a complete rejection.
……
The one who is very different from Lan Shu is Su Yuwei.
She only got 80 votes this time. Strictly speaking, although she sang a new song, her results were definitely not ideal.
It is even on the verge of being eliminated.
But for her, when she heard Xu Kong's "Dongfeng Po" at the scene, she really felt like singing it into her heart.
Instead, I briefly forgot about my unsatisfactory results in this period.
……
"Singer Xu Kong, the final number of votes is..."
"95 votes!"
This is the first performance to receive 90 votes, and if nothing else goes wrong, it should be the first one.
After all, Chinese style is so popular now.
Coupled with the quality of this song "Dongfeng Break", it can only be regarded as a normal and trivial matter to win the first place.
As the corresponding public opinion and influence of the song continue to ferment, the discussion about Chinese style and the impact of this new song are expected to sweep the entire Chinese music scene in a short time.
The emergence of Chinese style is destined to change the current pattern of the music scene.
Just because there have been so many new Chinese-style songs imitating "Blue and White Porcelain" in a short period of time, it is estimated that more influential and capable songwriters will end up in the future.
At least Xu Kong has now proven that the Chinese style he proposed on the Spring Festival Gala was not just a casual talk.
Two new songs with such a high degree of completion are enough to completely rectify this new genre of music.
……
The remaining two singing kings and two powerful singers from Europe and the United States will follow.
The stage performance is actually not bad either.
But because Xu Kong's previous performance of "Dongfeng Po" had such a high sense of presence, no one paid that much attention to the subsequent performances.
The final votes came out, and one of the European and American singers came in second place with 91 votes.
Xu Kong naturally won the first place without any suspense.
However, it can be seen that the average number of votes in this issue has dropped significantly compared to the previous year.
Although they are still the same singers, even the king of singers and the queen of singers still cannot guarantee that they can perform so well in every performance. At most, it just has a relatively high lower limit.
Of course, Xu Kong's words are indeed a special exception.
The main reason is that the nature of this program has changed since he announced in advance that he would sing a new song with a Chinese style.
Other singers, even singers like Jian Junfang, can still only serve as a backdrop.
Fortunately, the other singers actually had no intention of competing with Xu Kong for first place, so after the votes were counted, the atmosphere among the guests was still relatively harmonious.
The one who was eliminated this time was not Su Yuwei, who had only received 80 votes before.
But another European and American singer.
He was just one vote away from Su Yuwei, and his score of 79 votes allowed him to bid farewell to the "Singer" stage in advance.
But they didn't look too sad.
I get a high appearance fee, but I actually don’t care too much about my ranking and performance on this show.
Now I feel relaxed as if I got off work early.
……
The live broadcast of "Singer" is over, but related discussions and public opinions have just begun to ferment.
Especially the song "Dongfeng Break" for Xu Kong, it was no surprise that it was at the top of several charts on the two major music platforms, and even the live video was popular on various video websites.
Except that Chinese style itself has been highly discussed recently.
The main thing is that the song "Dongfeng Po" itself is of sufficient quality to become a hit. Even if there is no previous foreshadowing of "Blue and White Porcelain", with the melody, lyrics and unique arrangement style of "Dongfeng Po", it will still be popular after the live broadcast of "Singer" Be the center of attention.
As the on-site media judge, Fat Bird naturally started to comment as soon as the show ended.
As the leader of Xu Chui, who has always been recognized by himself, naturally the entire song review is mainly praise.
But apart from that, the most important thing is that he mentioned that after the end of "Dongfeng Po" this time, Xu Kong's position as the founder of Chinese style has been completely secured.
And in some other styles, there are a large number of well-known singers who have quite representative works.
Only this so-called Chinese style, it seems that no one can play it clearly except Xu Kong.
Whether he is just riding on the popularity, or he is really inspired by Xu Kong, he is a well-known songwriter who started trying to create Chinese style.
There is still an unbridgeable gap between Xu Kong's two songs with such a high degree of completion.
"In terms of Chinese style, Xu Kong is several versions ahead of the entire Chinese music scene!"
……
Fat Bird’s reviews have never been particularly professional.
Even compared to some traditional music critics, it can be said that there is no comparison in terms of professionalism.
But every time when relevant hot events come out, everyone can find that Fat Bird is still the most popular Internet celebrity and music self-media.
It's the same this time. The comment that Xu Kong is ahead of the Chinese music scene in several versions was directly used as relevant news headlines by various media and marketing accounts.
If you really only read this sentence, this is undoubtedly putting Xu Kong on the fire.
Even if Xu Kong has received all the honors he should have received, no one will question his traffic or works in any aspect.
This method of directly comparing Xu Kong with the entire Chinese music scene is definitely vulnerable to criticism from the outside world.
But after adding the premise of the Chinese style, no one can stand up to refute it.
The main reason is that Xu Kong has obviously been studying his so-called Chinese style for a long time.
But it just happened that I waited until I had such a high degree of completion and quality of work before I started to let the outside world know about it.
Under such a premise, there is no such thing as Chinese style, which is only three to five years old. It is really like Xu Kong's unique patented style.
Let alone following the trend, even imitating is not that simple.
……
"I am not contacting you this time to scold you."
"On the contrary, I also think your idea is quite good, so let Su Yuwei slowly approach Xu Kong..."
In the hotel at this time, Su Yuwei's agent knew that when she received a call from Xu Yaqin, the company manager, that the other party had probably watched the live broadcast of "Singer".
But I had already prepared to be criticized or scolded, but the other party's attitude was quite strange.
Not only did Xu Yaqin not blame her for her unauthorized decision, she also gave a positive attitude towards it.
He said that he could continue to let Su Yuwei continue to intentionally make friends with Xu Kong.
He even hinted that if possible, he would let Su Yuwei spend some time on this aspect.
Su Yuwei's agent naturally understood instantly.
Because that's what she thinks.
"As for Yuwei, maybe she can't speak so directly..."
"It's best to guide slowly."
As the manager of the artist department, Xu Yaqin is quite familiar with Su Yuwei, a newcomer that the company is highly promoting.
The other party has always been well protected within the company.
Although she is not a little girl who is inexperienced in the world, if she is directly asked to seduce Xu Kong or something, it will probably arouse the other party's disgust and resistance.
In this regard, she and Su Yuwei's agent have the same idea.
……
"I know..."
Agent Su Yuwei silently agreed.
In fact, her initial idea was to do it quietly behind the company's back.
But it was discovered at this time, and with the support of Xu Yaqin, the manager, it was not unacceptable.
Neither of them are naive people.
Both of them knew that if Su Yuwei and Xu Kong really became friends, or exchanged music or something, they could get Xu Kong to help write songs or even get other benefits.
Su Yuwei's biggest advantage is herself.
And both of them have their own little thoughts.
According to Su Yuwei's manager, the main hope is that Su Yuwei can get two hit singles from Xu Kong.
This will be of huge benefit to Su Yuwei’s future career development.
As for Xu Yaqin, a senior executive of Jiying Media, she is thinking further ahead.
In addition to being able to use Su Yuwei to improve the relationship between the company and Xu Kong.
Maybe if something happens between the two of them in the end, relying on Su Yuwei, Xu Kong might be able to use it for herself in the future.
Joining Jiying Media is a bit too far away.
But asking the other party to help write songs is just a trivial matter.
The reason why both of them are so confident is actually because Su Yuwei is indeed a very obedient type of artist.
Since joining Jiying Media, I have almost followed the route arranged by the company, without even showing any small signs of resistance.
Naturally, it makes people feel that there is no problem in controlling and handling it.
