Verse 76: Undercurrents surge

In the early morning, during the rush hour, at a certain intersection near the No. 1 exit of Jing'ansi Station of Shanghai Metro Line 2, the crowd is surging, crowded on the side of the road and waiting for the green light to turn on.

A little east of the intersection to a dozen meters of the roadside, there is a newsstand, early in the morning has opened the window to do business, next to the pavilion there is a pancake stall, to catch the subway office workers to provide breakfast, at this moment there are two people standing in front of the stall waiting for their pancakes to be ready.

A man with a briefcase and a suit passed by, paused in front of the newsstand, and said to the owner inside: "A copy of The Sound of Music." At the same time, he handed over a five-dollar bill.

The boss took the money, took a magazine and handed it to him, and after taking the magazine, the man in the suit left, came to the side of the road and stopped waiting for the red light with the others, and by the way, picked up the magazine in his hand and prepared to look at it twice.

The Sound of Music is a magazine dedicated to music information.

In China, although the number of specialized music magazines is far less than that of comprehensive digest magazines such as "Nine Moons", and there is no comparison with fashion magazines such as "Vogue", and the overall sales are even more unforgettable, but after all, it also has its loyal customer base.

"The Sound of Music" is one of the best-selling and largest customer groups.

As a weekly magazine, "The Sound of Music" is released every Friday, and the content is mainly for pop music, reporting and commenting on recent new singers and new albums in the music industry, as well as some character interviews or something, and the cover of each issue is a character, mainly some well-known music figures, such as Luo Xianyang, Xia Shiqiu or something.

It can be said that if you want to achieve something in the Chinese music scene, being on the cover of "The Sound of Music" is one thing you must do first, and its huge influence in the field of pop music has also made "The Sound of Music" the bible of the pop music scene.

However, on the cover of this issue, what caught the eyes of the man in the suit was no longer the exquisite character photos of the previous issues, but a black shadow of the silhouette of the character.

The man in the suit was stunned.

He has watched "The Sound of Music" to this day, and it is the first time he has seen a photo of a person on the cover of "The Sound of Music", what is the matter with the black shadow of the silhouette of the characters in this blockbuster? Could it be that the photographer of "The Sound of Music" has dropped so much that the light is not well adjusted, so it has caused a mess to be filmed? But even so, wouldn't they have taken a new photo, why did they just put it on the cover when they couldn't see anything?!

On a closer look, the title above the black shadow of the figure's silhouette is in bold letters in three large artistic fonts.

Chinoiserie!

The last exclamation point was especially large, with iron and silver hooks, as if to hook a person's heart out of his chest.

The rest of the cover is a concise title for some of the main content of this issue, and there is also the name of the silhouette of this character, Brother Transliteration.

It didn't take long for the green light to turn on, and the man in the suit quickly withdrew his gaze, looked straight ahead, followed the flow of people, and entered the subway station after crossing the intersection.

Today I was lucky, I just got off the subway and came, but there are too many people in the international metropolis of Shanghai, and the subway is extremely crowded, not to mention the seats, and I am thankful that I can find a place to stand safely.

The man in the suit was also in this situation where he was a person in front of and left, and he skillfully pulled his hand up in a way that was wrapped around the silk hand of a golden snake, and put the magazine in front of him and read it again.

After opening the magazine, I turned the page and there was a Chinese style feature on the cover, and the picture still did not appear as a singer, but a porcelain.

"In this column, this is probably the first time that we have started with a porcelain statue instead of a picture of the singer, which is related to today's topic...... From ethnic to popular, from folk to rural, from rock to R%B, China's modern music scene continues to develop, constantly innovating, and becoming more and more perfect...... We've been calling for a new voice to emerge, and now, this new voice is coming, and it's Red Dust Inn......"

"Adding folk music to modern pop music, "Red Dust Inn" is not the first person to eat crabs, three years ago Qin dialect master Wei Qiran made such a bold attempt, and launched an experimental album "West Sigh", but the market response is sparse, which seems to prove that this road is not working...... In addition to Wei Qiran, a few musicians have also made similar attempts, but if you look at the market, they have all failed, which seems to tell us that this road is not going to work, but albums like "Red Dust Inn" prove that this statement is wrong. The reason why it doesn't work is simply because we haven't found the right path......"

"Every song on this album is so new and eye-catching, due to space limitations, only one of them, "Blue and White Porcelain", will be used as an example...... On the artistic conception, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a hazy ink landscape in the south of the Yangtze River, and between the sprouts of the water and clouds, you can vaguely see the white clothes and skirts of the Yiren flying one after another; on the words and sentences, "Blue and White Porcelain" is a plain note written by the pen end of the beautiful window, and the twists and turns of the pen are only because the heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots; on the tune, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a mountain spring stream flowing quietly on the stone in the breeze, clear and translucent and winding loop, and there are many inexhaustible meanings; these three are superimposed in one place, and the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is just like its name, just like that' Self-care and beauty's celadon superlative, washed away lead, simple and elegant, fresh and smooth. The guzheng is plucked, the tooth plate is crisp, and the pipa is murmuring...... It's so unique that after listening to a song, you don't need anyone to prompt you, and you will naturally sort it out from the music of No. 1 Middle School...... This is a national innovative music style born out of Chinese culture, and this is exactly what we are calling for...... At the same time, the album producer also revealed to us the correct way to walk this road, **** is not the new sound we want, blindly tradition will not work in today's environment, only the organic combination of the two, in order to truly get out of our own road...... Although we were not able to interview the mysterious transposition brother himself, we did not make a trip in vain, Mr. Han Chang, the music director of the other party's record company, talked with us for a long time, and showed us the other party's thinking when making this album, which can be summarized by 'three ancient and three new', specifically ancient words, ancient culture, ancient melody, new singing, new arrangement, new concept ......"

"This is a talented all-round musician, and we seem to be able to foresee that with the launch of this "Red Dust Inn", with the introduction of the guiding ideology of the three ancient and three new, more Chinese-style pop songs will emerge one after another, and the pop music scene is likely to have a new genre from now on, a new genre that belongs to us......"

"The Sound of Music" can be blown much more than Han Chang, and from a professional point of view, it is much more convincing than Han Chang's general words, and it is almost about to blow this "Red Dust Inn" to the sky. And it was also when he saw the middle and saw some of the song titles, especially "Blue and White Porcelain", which finally reminded the man in the suit of his memory.

When he was watching the music show in the past two days, he hadn't heard this song again, but because of the characteristics of the MV, he hadn't paid attention to the singer's name, and now he knew that it was sung by this guy called Brother Zhuanyin.

That song is so good, he's humming it now.

……

Not only "The Sound of Music", with the six songs on the list, many music magazines have noticed this guy called Brother Zhuanyin.

Although the rankings are not very high, as a newcomer in the music scene, there are six songs on the list at the same time in an album, which is completely the prelude to a big hit! Even many first-line singers can't do it.

They seem to see a new star in the music scene, a future diva is rising, and the new concept of "Red Dust Inn" is also so unique and topical, which makes them make relevant reports, for fear of falling behind their peers.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the music market, an undersea volcano has erupted, and undercurrents are surging violently beneath the surface.
