Chapter 68: Chinoiserie
Hearing that Xu Qian was going to release a new album, Zhong Na immediately called Xu Qian: "Mr. Xu, are you going to release a new album?"
Xu Qian nodded: "Yes." ”
Zhong Na said: "When the time comes, consider us Yi Yun, for Mr. Xu's new album, our Yi Yun's bid is definitely not low." ”
Xu Qian said: "I will give priority to Yi Yun." ”
Zhong Na said: "So what is the name of Mr. Xu's new album?"
Xu Qian replied: "Chinese style." ”
Zhong Na: "Chinese style?"
Xu Qian explained: "Chinese style, that is, adding some ancient Chinese allusions to the song as the creative background, using modern music to sing the classical flavor, singing in a variety of ways. The style of music is biased towards traditional oriental performances, and some oriental instruments are added, and the tone of the song is tactful and looping, which has a traditional oriental beauty. ”
Zhong Na was taken aback after hearing this: "Teacher Xu, you are going to open up the world." ”
Zhong Na was a little surprised, Xu Qian was completely trying to open up a new style of music, which was really amazing.
Xu Qian is going to be a groundbreaking generation of grandmasters, and he really deserves to be the future leader of the Chinese music scene.
Zhong Na said: "Mr. Xu, can I listen to it after you finish writing a song?"
Xu Qian said: "Of course you can." ”
Xu Qian's first album was "The First Heart", and the second album directly threw out Wang Zhan, which is "Chinese Style".
He wants to shake up this Chinese music scene.
The Chinese music scene in this world has fallen into a period of stagnation for a long time, not to mention singers like Zhou Wang Lintao, even if it is Wu Kequn, second-tier singers like Zhou Chuanxiong are all well-known here.
Chinese style is closely associated with a certain fat man.
A certain fat man does represent an era, one person dominates the first two decades of the 21st century, and his opponents are definitely not weak, Wang Leehom, Lin Junjie, Pan Wilber, Tao Zhe, Mayday, SHE, Fei'er Band, Zhang Jie, Xu Song, Jolin Tsai, Sun Yanzi, Xue Zhiqian, Eason Chan......
These singers are well-known in other eras, but living in Jay Chou's era is sad, one person is king, and everyone bows down.
If you talk purely about influence, Teresa Teng, Jacky Cheung, and Jay Chou are the only ones, and Faye Wong is the back.
Humanitarian: The most powerful thing about Jay Chou is that he has become an irreplaceable part of his youth, just like those shining days never come back.
Jay Chou naturally has an ancient "storyteller" factor, in fact, at that time, the first thing that occupied my heart was Jay Chou's creation of other love songs, whose wide range of themes, unique mood, and full imagination stood out among many pop songs.
His songs are rich in themes!
Diverse themes such as "Coward" against drugs, "Terraces" advocating environmental protection, "Fort William" that promotes Chinese kung fu culture, and "Ninja" based on Dongying culture and strong Japanese style, and "Death to Stop War", which is widely praised by many boys, are all among them.
Chinese style is really formed by a certain fat man, or he is the master of the whole.
In July 03, Jay Chou launched a very conspicuous work "Dongfeng Po" in the "Ye Huimei" album, which is the first Chinese-style song that completely meets the 6 standards of "three ancient and three new", the song brings out the antique Chinese flavor in an all-round way, Jay Chou's singing has laid the basic singing method of Chinese-style songs, and Fang Wenshan has also laid a solid foundation for the ancient meaning of Chinese-style lyrics.
By Jay Chou, the Chinese style of music has basically taken shape - the lyrics have Chinese cultural connotations, the use of new singing and arrangement techniques to set off the atmosphere of the song, and the combination of the nostalgic Chinese background and the current rhythm produces a subtle, melancholy, elegant, light and other song styles. We have another choice for listening to songs in the future, which can take us back to feel the taste of music that completely belongs to China!
On the connotation of the song, the "three ancient and three new", the profundity of Chinese style should be based on Jay Chou's "East Wind Breaking" as a watershed, and Chinese style songs began to take shape!
There are many songs about "Chinese Style".
Jay Chou's "East Wind Breaks", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Blue and White Porcelain", "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", "Thousands of Miles Away" and so on all belong to this list!
There are also Tao Zhe's "Can't Forget", Wang Leehom's "In the Plum Side", Lin Junjie's "Jiangnan", "Cao Cao", and Wu Kequn's "General Order" are also Chinese-style songs.
Xu Qian was preparing to produce the "Chinese Style" album and wanted to choose songs.
"Dongfeng Breaking", "Blue and White Porcelain", "Jiangnan", "Nanyin", "Cao Cao", "I Like You", "Big Bowl Wide Noodles", "General Order".
It seems to be mixed in with two strange songs.
"I Like You" is a Cantonese song, sung by Chen Baiqiang, this song is actually Chinese style, or ancient Chinese style, just like "A Laugh in the Sea", it is also Chinese style, but it is not as perfect as the later Chinese style.
"Big Bowl of Wide Noodles" is a fan's work, which is used to make up the numbers, and the safflower also needs to be lined with green leaves, so this song is used as a green leaf.
But to be honest, the big bowl of wide noodles also has a strong Chinese style element, so it's not off topic.
The eight songs on this album can be said to be carefully selected, with Cantonese, Chinese, and rap elements, which are perfect in the face.
Xu Qian was the first to record "East Wind Breaking", which is a pioneering work, after all, this is the first song to establish "Chinese style" in the true sense, and it is the pioneering work of "Chinese style" songs.
Xu Qian is very attentive to this album, this is also an album that established his status, he was a fledgling before, so those classic songs did not exert their maximum power.
It's like a child dancing a dragon slayer.
But now that he has become a famous young hero-level figure, it will be different if he dances the dragon slayer knife again, at least he can shoot lasers, this is a necessary way for him to officially go to the road of grandmaster.
Xu Qian's next time was still leisurely.
Although his fans commented under his scarf.
"Wait for the first day of Xu Qian's new album. ”
"Waiting for the next day of Xu Qian's new album. ”
"Waiting for the third day of Xu Qian's new album. ”
"Waiting for the fourth day of Xu Qian's new album. ”
。。。。。。。。。。。
Xu Qian still lives at his own pace, first of all, he naturally sleeps, then he plays games, then he codes, then he chats with Shuishui, and then he makes albums.
The time of the day still flies very fast, and finally Xu Qian's first song is completed, this song is "East Wind Break".
Xu Qian immediately sent this song to Zhong Na, and Zhong Na also began to listen to this song "East Wind Breaking".
