Chapter 822: The Age of the Wind (Medium)!
Ignoring the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Su Luo continues his time journey with Cantonese songs.
In the field of Chinese pop music, there has been a rare phenomenon in the global pop music scene, that is, a dialect that most people do not understand has become the mainstream voice that leads the pop music trend. In the last two decades of the last century, it really existed in China, and it is still talked about today, and this is the Cantonese song.
Cantonese songs are also synonymous with the Hong Kong pop music scene, which has witnessed the rise and fall of Hong Kong's commercial culture represented by pop music.
Telling stories to studious baby apprentices, Su Luo will always be in a happy mood. In fact, Cantonese pop songs have to be sorted out, it is really troublesome, Cantonese pop songs have absorbed countless pop music elements from other countries and regions, to speak one by one, 1 million words can not be finished, but there is an absolutely clear vein to be found, which is the inheritance and development of traditional culture.
To this day, there are still many people who only regret how our traditional culture can not find a way out, and how our traditional music cannot keep up with the trend of the times. In fact, someone has already done the right demonstration, and it is in Guangdong.
Let's separate the opera scene of the Cantonese system, and then look at how the three giants of the Cantonese system, Cantonese opera, Cantonese opera, and Cantonese music, have developed.
There are too many kinds of Chinese folk opera, there are about 270 kinds of operas, and there is no need to say much about the glory of the past, but with the continuous changes of the times, people's aesthetics are also constantly changing, and the most popular art in the past must continue to evolve and innovate to adapt to the trend of the times.
Cantonese opera, known as the red bean of southern China, originated from southern opera, formerly known as "Guangdong opera" or "big opera", which is popular in Lingnan and other Cantonese settlements. However, in fact, Cantonese opera was not sung in Cantonese at the beginning, and it is difficult to verify the specific origin history, but the Cantonese opera we are talking about now has actually only taken shape for more than 100 years.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Cantonese opera underwent major changes, and the original "Ten Professions" singing voices were gradually classified into three categories: big throat, flat throat, and sub-throat. Xiao Sheng changed from the original false voice to the real voice, creating a flat-throated singing voice, and the language of Cantonese opera changed from using 'stage official dialect' to using the Guangzhou dialect. The benefits are obvious, Cantonese has nine tones and six tones, and it is a few points more expressive than Mandarin.
And, here's the point, the basic tone of Cantonese opera has gradually decreased from E to C, and the basic tone has been lowered!
We all know that drama is very difficult to sing, without a little talent and ten or eight years of hard work, you can't sing it, and you can't sing it well. The drama of high and low music and popular PK, the drama of mass acceptance will be directly seconded.
Only when someone sings can it be widely spread and popular, and everyone can't sing, how can they play happily together?
Artists also have to eat, and ordinary people want to join in and play, so wonderful things happen.
After these major changes were made in Cantonese opera, it was immediately accepted by the audience, and then the Cantonese opera women reacted quickly, whether it was the art of singing, the use of language, the basic modulation, etc., Cantonese opera artists fully accepted the changes of Cantonese opera at that time, absorbed the essence of Cantonese opera singing, and improved it, and reduced the form of Cantonese opera singing to zero, creating an unprecedented prosperity of Cantonese opera.
As a result, the glory of Cantonese opera in the 20s and 30s of the last century was created, and Cantonese opera with the flesh and blood of Cantonese opera was very prosperous.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Cantonese opera was brought to Xiangjiang by Guangdong immigrants and widely sung, and it gained a new life in the early 50s.
It's just that in the early days of Xiangjiang, the most mainstream songs were still English songs and Chinese songs, and although Cantonese opera was reborn, it could never be on the stage, and it could not get out of the image of low-class music.
Until the 70s, the Cantonese music scene in Hong Kong had not yet become a climate, but it was still in an era when the local dialect was dominant. Ethnic minor tunes and Anglo-American pop songs are popular, Cantonese songs are only the second corner, and there are very few Cantonese songs (era songs) in the real sense, and most of the songs sung in local Cantonese are adapted from Cantonese opera. In addition, the economy of Hong Kong is taking off and changing with each passing day, under the impact of Western pop music trends, the Cantonese opera style of singing is not easy to be liked by the new generation of young people.
This means that either Cantonese songs will decline after that, or he will have to adapt to the trend of the times and make changes.
After a piece of history was told, the senior sister was nervous, looking at Su Luo with a blank eye, and then how did Cantonese pop songs rise to become the mainstream of the Xiangjiang music scene?
"Is it because the genius of the 70s Xiangjiang predecessors was born to create Cantopop songs and turn the situation around?"
Su Luo grinned and continued, "Ahem, don't worry, looking back at every big era in the history of art, there must be outstanding people who will open the curtain first, and the first generation of Xiangjiang Xiangjiang Cantonese pop music predecessors in the 70s are undeniably dragons and phoenixes among people, but in the eyes of the master, this is just the accident of events."
Why do you say that, is it only the 70s that there are geniuses who emerge? 50s, 60s are gone? The answer is no, there are leaders in any era, but why did they rise in the 70s? This is what Master wants you to learn the most, and you will be at the helm of a dreamer in the future. ”
Many people say that the rise of the Cantonese music scene is due to the fact that the pioneers of Cantonese pop songs in the 70s changed the development of trends.
Su Luo never thought so, the feat of his predecessors must be worshipped, but after jumping out of the frame with the eyes of a helmsman, it is clear to think about a few questions simply.
Is it that without Jack Ma, there would be no e-commerce? No, e-commerce will inevitably appear in the process of Internet development, which is the inevitability of the general trend.
The entertainment industry in this time and space is backward, and many people say that their appearance is epoch-making, is it that without Su Luo, the entertainment industry in this time and space would not have risen? No, after China's economy takes off, the people who have solved the problem of food and clothing will inevitably pursue a higher level of spiritual enjoyment, and there will be development when there is demand, which is the inevitability of the general trend.
Even, there is no Xu Guanjie in this time and space, and Cantonese pop songs such as "Hui Huang Shuangsheng" are the originators, why are Cantonese pop songs still unique and rising strongly in this time and space? The decisive factor is still the inevitability of the general trend!
"Let's first analyze the inevitability of the rise of Cantopop songs, what are the three elements of success?"
Senior Sister raised her little hand: "The time and place are favorable!"
Su Luo continued to ask: "Cantonese song music has a profound artistic heritage, and it has the artistic value of not losing or even surpassing other languages, which is one of them; So what's missing?"
Senior Sister quickly raised her little hand again: "Heavenly time!"
"That's right, in the 50s~60s, what Xiangjiang lacked was not genius, but time. Why did the Hong Kong Cantonese pop scene rise in the 70s, because the wind came, and after a rain, the seeds germinated and broke through the ground!
