Chapter 823: The Age of the Wind (Part II)!
Heung Kong's economy began to take off around the 70s of the 20th century, when it was known as the Asian Tigers along with South Korea, Wanwan and Singapore. With the development of the economy, the scale of the industry is gradually on the right track, and the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang has also ushered in a glorious period.
From the end of 1949 to 1966, Hong Kong films entered a golden age of unprecedented prosperity. During this period, the prominent pattern of Hong Kong films was the parallel development of Cantonese films and Chinese films, not only the number of creations increased sharply, but the staggering number of more than 200 films produced annually was unprecedented in the history of Hong Kong films.
On the other hand, television sets began to become popular, and the first batch of Cantonese TV series received an unprecedented enthusiastic response in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Singapore and other Chinese Cantonese-speaking regions.
If there is an appeal, there will be development, film and television and songs are inseparable, the audience likes Cantonese dramas, then the wind that belongs to Cantonese songs will come, and Cantonese songs will become pigs standing on the tuyere!
People want to listen to Cantonese songs, but the old drama Cantonese opera can't keep up with the times, which means that Cantonese songs must have a huge change!
In the past 20 years from 50 to 70, due to their unique geographical and historical reasons, the people of Xiangjiang have accepted and localized global pop culture earlier and more conveniently than the mainland, which has made full preparations for the advancement of Cantonese opera.
From the late 60s to the early 70s, the non-mainstream Cantonese opera scene gradually began to change, and Cantonese genre songs absorbed the most popular Wanwan pop music, British and American pop music elements on the basis of classic Cantonese opera, and improved the dramatic tone of Cantonese opera, making it more popular and popular.
Then in the mid-70s, the golden age of Hong Kong TV dramas officially came, and riding on the strong wind of Cantonese TV dramas, Cantonese songs once again underwent earth-shaking changes, and another unique style was created, abandoning the dramatic singing and rigorous written lyrics of Cantonese opera, and changing the Cantonese opera singing tone to folk singing, without any embellishment of the original sound, simple and natural, smooth and beautiful. The lyrics are written entirely in the most secular Cantonese slang, which is vivid and humorous, and full of vitality.
This genre is known as "Ghost Horse Song", which quickly became popular after its birth and laid the foundation for the popularity of modern Cantonese songs, and then the two major genres of classical style and ghost horse song jointly set off the curtain of the era when Cantonese pop songs became the mainstream songs of Hong Kong for more than 20 years.
"That's what I'm talking about when the wind rises. The Cantonese music genre, which is only in arrears with the east wind, naturally takes off when the wind comes. ”
Su Luo smiled and pinched Tang Yike's little face, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and continued.
"Okay, that's it for today's story, this is the early development of the Cantopop scene.
In this journey, we can see the most graceful inheritance in the world, Cantonese music from Cantonese opera to Cantonese pop songs, although its form of expression has changed dramatically through continuous innovation, but the inner flesh and blood have never been discarded.
When we look back at the brilliance of Cantopop songs, we will find that the proudest thing about the Cantopop music scene is that its brilliance is open-ended and creative, and it is by no means just a passive follow-up to the turbulent era of the European and American music scene at that time.
Cantopop is open to all new and old forms of European and American pop music, but the content has its own spiritual level and flesh and blood, which is also the core factor that it can truly become a classic era.
As for the reason why the popular music in the mainland is so weak and cannot develop, I think it is because the current popular music in the mainland is actually a tree without roots and water without a source.
Just copy other people's things, but forget the root of their own culture, impetuous, now it looks quite prosperous on the surface, but in fact there is only a layer of skin, there is nothing flesh and bones, a poke will explode, all he meows is waste, no one can fight. ”
can't blame Su Luo for being too arrogant and has no one in his eyes, in his previous life, Su Luo thought that mainland music was too rubbish, a group of people who didn't know what the so-called fresh meat sang didn't know what it was, and there were only a handful of artists who really worked hard. After coming here, it is even more lonely and empty, and the overall level is not as good as in the previous life, this situation is ...... It's hard to bear.
Of course, Su Luo is not nonsense, you can be arrogant but you can't be blindly arrogant, in the previous life, there were countless outstanding singers in Wanwan, but among the superstars in the same period, only Jay Chou is an irreplaceable existence in people's minds, the absolute memory of a generation, why? The creator of Chinese Chinese style songs!
In this time and space, which of the pop songs that Su Luo took out by himself and integrated into traditional culture did not cause a sensation, such as "Give You a Little Color", why could it cause such a huge response, many listeners felt numb on their scalps when they heard it, and then they were so excited that they burst into tears, screaming loudly, "This is the song we should have!"?
What is the way it should be?
The fusion of modern rock and Huayin old dialect, modern rock is just a form, and Huayin old dialect is the absolute core soul, flesh and blood.
And this flesh and blood is precisely the collective inner appeal of the Chinese after the take-off of the contemporary economy, we need our own things, we need our own popular culture, we need a sense of identity!
Therefore, although the ancient style song is only a vague concept, it became popular in the world as soon as Su Luo proposed it, and now it is sweeping the ACG world, and the people who mix the ACG world are still young people, and young people are cheering like this, and it is not the call of the development trend of the times?
Mentally handicapped music critics will say that it is entirely because Su Luo's influence is too great now, and Su Luo is a hero who creates the current situation......
Although you're praising me, you still have to tell the truth, right, bullshit!
Lao Tzu is just passing by, just in time for this era, and it just so happens that the era I have experienced is a little faster than your era, of course, I can see it more clearly.
Observing the world of lower dimensions with a higher-dimensional mind, it is natural to be able to know the world at a glance, and this is how the omnipotent Daluo Da Shen came about.
On the other hand, if you observe the world of higher dimensions with a lower dimensional thinking, the world of higher dimensions is completely obscured, and fans who are known as "face slapping experts are accurate by a dozen and one is accurate", which is also how the ruthless pit master comes.
Compared with the current mainland music scene, the experience of mainland pop music is similar to that before the 70s in Xiangjiang, the economy took off, the policy called for enhancing national cultural self-confidence, and the people wanted to hear things that belonged to the Chinese, the time and place were favorable, and there were huge opportunities.
After seeing this clearly, it is too normal for Su Luo to become popular, even if Su Luo does not have the memory of his previous life, not to mention how good he can mix, at least he will not mix too badly.
Now it's a plug-in, and the context of the development of the times is very clear in my eyes, then this era should belong to me!
But what about the next era?
I don't know. The deterministic world that Su Luo sees is just a cross-section of a frame on the timeline in the infinite changes, what will happen in a frame, no one can predict, Su Luo naturally hopes that it belongs to his own baby apprentice, so he will talk so much to Keke, take the rise of the Cantonese music scene in Xiangjiang as an example, reading history can make people wise, and learning from the past can know the future.
Su Luo was a little in a hurry, how could Keke fully comprehend it now, he had to take his time.
"That's... Then Master, after the wind rose, how did the comprehensive and innovative Cantonese pop songs inherit the flesh and blood of Cantonese traditional music?"
Late at night, the senior sister fell into Su Luo's arms and muttered.
"Ha!" Su Luo hugged Xiao Keke and took a sip, "Well, go to bed first, and sing it to you tomorrow, I will sing to you all the muscles and bones in Cantonese songs I know, and take you to re-understand it again." ”
"Good!"
"Good night. ”
"An An. ”
