Chapter 148: Practice Room Edition
After Chen Chen's single was released, the song "There is a Warmth Called Sisters" became unexpectedly popular. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven if the length and lyrics of this song are stronger than "Buddy", the form of female singing and male voice is more novel and interesting than the more traditional songs like "One Like Summer and One Like Autumn", not everyone thinks that this song is stronger than those two songs like Lin Xiaojie, but at least there is one thing that fans and listeners agree on, that is, this is indeed a good song that is not only good to listen to, but also can be sung to the hearts of girls.
Fan Linxuan, one of the singers of this song, as the champion of "The Voice of China", originally had a very deep popularity foundation, and after the release of the new album, her popularity became even more explosive. The appearance of this song naturally made her already hot popularity even more popular. Although Chen Chen, another singer, is not as popular as Fan Linxuan's current popularity, with the popularity of this song, his popularity has also begun to accumulate rapidly, and many people have also recognized this rapper with a relatively fresh style through this song.
Chen Chen's single has two songs. After the older and more people became familiar with and liked Chen Chen through "There is a Warmth Called Sisters", another song in the single "Yanjing Native" also began to be heard by more and more people.
When many people hear the accompaniment at the beginning of this song, their first reaction is: "Isn't it a rap song? This is a three-stringed Jingyun drum? Are you singing or rapping?"
But when everyone listened to a song in its entirety, countless people began to applaud this peculiar song. The accompanying music is the accompaniment of instruments and melodies in various traditional operas, and the singing also has a bit of opera flavor, but the rap part is indeed the kind of rap that everyone knows.
As for the lyrics, it's even better. Even people who have never been to Yanjing can see that these lyrics are all about the kind of indigenous life of old Yanjing. As soon as the very characteristic words such as bean juice, Jiaoquan, and Tianqiao came out, a taste of old Yanjing came to the face in the whole song.
Those fans in the north, especially those in Yanjing, listened very energetically, and had a special feeling of empathy, as if they had returned to the old alleys of Yanjing, and they were in it, next to those Yanjing natives living beside them. And those people outside Yanjing seem to see a picture of the leisurely and lively daily life of the old Yanjing natives from this song.
In the genre of rap, many local dialect raps are very distinctive, and they also have a very fixed local preference group. Of course, the so-called dialect rap here is not a rap in more than a dozen dialects in Xiao Yao's song "Huaxia Girl", but the whole song is performed in the local dialect. Among them, the dialects of Sichuan, Guangdong, and Shaanxi provinces are relatively well-known, and their dialect rap also has a certain market in the country. And this song "Yanjing Aborigines" can be regarded as Yanjing's dialect rap. Although Yanjing dialect and Mandarin are basically the same in the pronunciation of individual words, there are still some differences between the real Yanjing dialect and the Mandarin taught in schools, and this Yanjing dialect characteristic is also vividly expressed in this song.
Chen Chen was originally a native of Yanjing, and his authentic Yanjing accent expressed the indigenous taste of Yanjing in the song very well. After this song became popular, not only many young people respected this song, but even many middle-aged and elderly people in Yanjing City who were older and not very familiar with the music form of rap began to listen to Chen Chen's song as happily as if they were listening to a play.
This song is very pleasing, and Chen Chen has become much more popular in Yanjing because of this song, but in the final analysis, the most rare thing about this song is not the Yanjing-style accent of the song, nor the incredible skills required for singing and speaking, but how the lyrics and songs of this song were created. In other words, how did Xiao Yao write such a song.
Leaving aside the emotional factor, this is first and foremost a song that feels very funny. And the most interesting part, in addition to the lyrics that very accurately describe the living conditions of the old Yanjing natives, is the genius idea of using traditional musical instruments to score rap songs. For the first time, everyone knew that things such as sanxian, big drums, and erhu could also be used as soundtracks for rap songs, and they still sounded extremely harmonious.
Thinking of Xiao Yao's performance in "The Voice of China", he personally played the erhu in "The Wrong Flower Field", and "The New Concubine Drunk" not only has a large number of traditional folk musical instrument soundtracks, but even half of the song is directly similar to the traditional Beijing rhyme singing voice of Peking Opera, it can be seen that Xiao Yao seems to have a very unusual preference and attainment for traditional Chinese folk instruments.
Some people even dug out the video materials of Xiao Yao's performance of playing erhu in the show when he participated in "Where Are You Going, Dad" at the age of five, to prove that Xiao Yao has a special preference for traditional Chinese folk musical instruments since he was a child and began to learn.
In addition, another song composed by Xiao Yao was also mentioned by Fan Linxuan. The chorus of this "Yoyo Love Song" contains the well-known lyrics and phrases in the folk song "Kangding Love Song", and in the soundtrack, there are also several passages that are obviously used as the soundtrack of traditional folk instruments such as pipa, guzheng and dulcimer. In this song, which has an unusually languid sound, like a blues jazz style, the soundtrack of these ethnic instruments also sounds very good, and there is no sense of incongruity with this very Western style of music.
The concentrated appearance of these songs also brought a wave of discussion of national musical instruments. Many music critics have also begun to discuss Xiao Yao's soundtrack style that combines folk music and modern music, and even exaggerated that Xiao Yao is a groundbreaking move, which will cause more ordinary listeners to pursue and love national musical instruments. To put it mildly, this is a great initiative to promote the Chinese national culture, and it has opened up a new path for the development of Chinese national instrumental music.
Of course, there are also many public knowledge and music critics who scoff at this statement, and even publicly criticize Xiao Yao for making national and Western instruments together nondescript, completely losing the charm and beauty of folk music. What's more, it is directly said that Xiao Yao's approach is a stain on Chinese folk music with a long history and heritage.
In the midst of this discussion and controversy, the third group of newcomers of Qijia Studio, "Women's Music Workshop", also appeared on the Internet. Because Xiao Yao said that the "Women's Music Workshop" is "visual music", the "Women's Music Workshop" did not debut in the form of an album, but directly chose to appear in front of the public in the form of stage performances. As a completely unheard of, even a completely new form of performance, the opportunity to perform on stage is not so easy to find.
To say that the best form is to appear as a guest performer at the star's concert, but at the end of the year, when various TV stations are preparing for the New Year's Eve party, the stars value the opportunity of the TV station's New Year's Eve party, and few people will hold a concert at this time. Therefore, Qi Jia Studio is ready to directly fight for the performance opportunity of the New Year's Eve party of local satellite TV for the "Women's Music Workshop". And if you want to be favored by the TV station, it seems that you can't make sense if you don't have any fame at all, so the studio put the idea on the Internet. Xiao Yao provided an idea, which is to combine the concept of Internet celebrity and the practice of many Korean brokerage companies to put idol group practice room practice videos, specially prepared a practice room with very good radio effect in the studio, and filmed a video of "Women's Music Workshop" practice and posted it on the Internet.
Although it is said to be a practice video, the "Women's Orchestra" in the video is playing a complete piece without interruption, and even the movements, expressions, and demeanor during the performance are the same as those when performing on the stage.
First of all, the "Women's Music Workshop" applied for an account with real-name authentication on Weibo, and the first Weibo posted such a practice video. Including Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying, Cheng Xi, Chen Chen, Fan Linxuan, Xiao Yao, all the artists ranked in the studio reposted this video Weibo as soon as possible and recommended it to their fans.
Then, the MV section of various video websites and music websites also began to appear in the video titled ""Women's Music Workshop" Practice Room Video", trying to spread this video on the Internet with the greatest force.
In the starting preview of the video, there are more than a dozen girls playing various ethnic instruments in the front, and there is a modern Western band composed of drums, electric guitars, basses, electronic keyboards and other instruments in the back row. This configuration is easily reminiscent of Xiao Yao's musical form that combines folk music and modern Western instruments, which is now controversial. Why did a national orchestra that specializes in playing like Xiao Yao come out, is this also Xiao Yao's handiwork?
Sure enough, after clicking on the video to start playing, a few lines of words appeared in the center of the video:
"Kangding Love Song" practice room version
Performance: Girls' Orchestra
Arrangement + arrangement: Xiao Yao
Although it is only a practice room version of the video, this video was shot with a professional HD camera. Before the performance began, the beautiful faces and temperaments of the dozen or so young girls who appeared in the picture were enough to catch the attention of many netizens.
After the performance began, everyone found that the girls in this video not only looked eye-catching, but also played very attractive music. "Kangding Love Song" is a nationally renowned folk song, but when it comes to this group of girls and the band behind them, it gives people a completely different feeling.
Not only does it have the beautiful melody of the original song, but it also has a passion that is completely different from the original traditional folk music. The rearranged and rearranged soundtrack is complemented by modern instruments such as drums and electric guitars, which makes people feel the melodic folk music and the shock of listening to a rock band live. Of course, there is a rock band here, but even in the intervals between the performances of modern Western instruments, the passages of the flute and pipa solo can still give people the shock of listening to rock music. Coupled with the beautiful faces of more than a dozen people with different characteristics in the high-definition lens, or elegant or passionate movements, or various expressions of tranquility or happiness or seriousness, this kind of audio-visual enjoyment is definitely something that netizens who watch the video have not felt before.
As a result, no matter what the critics say, countless people immediately fell in love with this kind of musical expression, and also fell in love with this national orchestra that only has a high appearance and can also bring people a different kind of shock.
In this way, the "Women's Music Workshop" managed to gain the first large number of loyal fans. (To be continued.) )
