Chapter 61: Music is a very personal art
Rock is just a form of music.
Like pop, electronic, folk, punk, classical, jazz, none of them should carry too much meaning.
Playing rock with spirit and singing with emotion are the two biggest prejudices in the Han music scene today.
As a musician, after listening to Han Chen's comments, Shen Yiran felt a little disgusted, he could accept any criticism from his works, but he couldn't tolerate this kind of malicious speculation.
What's even more ridiculous is that as a practitioner, on such a stage facing the national audience, Han Chen actually uses his private spiritual experience to measure the creative attitude of musicians, if it is not grandstanding, then it can only be narrow-minded in understanding.
So, when the host asked him how he felt, he said his dissatisfaction very seriously:
"I don't know when it began, there are fewer and fewer people in our country who are serious about studying music, and some musicians even do not hesitate to mislead the audience to advertise themselves.
Here, I just want to say, please give rock back to music, and even all music to music itself, we can talk about the arrangement of music, we can talk about lyrics, we can even make a point about a piece of Solo.
But please don't use your personal spiritual experience as a standard to measure the quality of music! Don't criticize musicians' creative attitudes based on speculation!"
After speaking, Shen Yiran looked directly at Han Chen in the guest seat.
"Enough, Let the Storm Be More Intense" is a piece that the band has been arranging around the clock in a hotel room.
Actually, it was originally two songs, two C-grade music cards from the game.
They are the rap "Enough" written and composed by Luo Zhixiang, and the rock "Let the Storm Come More Fiercely" composed by Yu Quan.
Because these two songs alone could not fully express Shen Yiran's complex emotions during this time, he made a bold decision to mix the two songs.
Considering that the styles of the two songs are not the same, the original song of the previous song even used electronic music from beginning to end, which made Shen Yiran not have a lot of options when making arrangements, and after repeated rehearsals and revisions, he decided on the final performance form.
The singing method of the black voice with a cappella vocal accompaniment does not dare to say that it surpasses the original singing, at least the two songs are interpreted in a completely different style.
"Uh..."
saw the sharp eyes under Shen Yiran's mask.
Han Chen smiled awkwardly, although the other party didn't call him by his name, as long as he wasn't a fool, he could hear that the object of insinuation in his words was him.
"This guy is a powder keg, whoever lights it will blow it up!"
Secretly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Han Chen decided to take a step back first, today's recording has created a perfect image, and he doesn't want to continue to stalemate with this stunned young man on the stage.
So, after thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile:
"I feel very relieved by the speech of our contestants, I can feel that their concerns about the music industry are from the heart, and here I take back my previous doubts about their creative motivation, and this kind of rock spirit in them is worth learning from every rock person. ”
In the console, Lin Xiangxiang was surprised that Han Chen actually took the initiative to choose to back down, just when she thought that this recording could be over, she only heard an unrelenting voice from the headphones:
"Mentor Han Chen, take the liberty of asking, you have always emphasized the spirit of rock and roll, what kind of spirit is this?"
That's right, Shen Yiran didn't plan to pass the topic along with the other party, in music, he is a more serious person.
In his opinion, it is precisely because too many popular stars like Han Chen talk about the rock spirit in the show all day long, which has led to the fact that the current Han rock circle is about to become immortals.
Those fans who were influenced and misled, when they couldn't remember all the basic music theory and mixed catalog, shouted terms such as soul, body, and thought one by one, and by the way, they held the spiritual stick to criticize other styles of music, and some even raised rock to the height of philosophical speculation.
Such a development trend is not right, even the godfather of underground rock and roll The Fly Band once bluntly said: Aside from the music to talk about the connotation, those who say it are bad, and those who believe are stupid.
"The spirit of rock and roll, the spirit of rock and roll is ......"
was suddenly asked by Shen Yiran, Han Chen was a little speechless for a while, he doesn't like rock and roll, and his understanding of rock music all comes from Sofun Encyclopedia.
But he knows that the concept of rock and roll spirit is sought after by many people, so he will always hang these four words on his lips.
"There's so much to rock and roll that if we have any questions about it, we can discuss it privately at that time. ”
I didn't know where to start for a while, Han Chen wittily brought the question over, and when he heard such an answer, Shen Yiran had no intention of continuing to ask.
Originally, he wanted to provoke Han Chen to confront him, so as to expose the rock spirit in these people's mouths in tall coats in front of the audience.
However, due to the other party's avoidance, his questioning did not have the desired effect.
But if you think about it carefully, people are soft-spoken, even if he pierces the window paper of the spiritual rock man now, how many people will think and reflect?
"Congratulations to the band for receiving the recognition from our mentors, let's give them a round of applause, and we hope that they can bring an even better performance when they take the stage next time!"
Walking off the stage in the host's talk, every member of the band has an inexplicable sense of powerlessness, through the recording during this time, they feel that compared with other music programs, "First Voice" has done a very good job in respecting music.
However, even the rock mentor defined by this show puts the so-called spirit above the body of music, and you can imagine how bad the Han music industry has become.
"Old Shen, are you desperate?"
On the way back to the lounge, Zhang Yaobang asked a question with a smile, as a student of the Conservatory of Music, there is a sentence written in the preface of each textbook:
"Music is a very personal art!"
However, it is such a basic and simple truth, Han Chen who was sitting in the guest seat didn't know that when he heard him speculate on his personal spiritual feelings, Zhang Yaobang's mood instantly fell to the bottom.
In his opinion, even if the tutor opposite scolded him in terms of arrangement, creation, etc., he was happier than now.
"What's there to be desperate for? It's just Han Chen, and he can't represent the entire music industry. ”
Shen Yiran whispered a word of comfort, and after speaking, it seemed to increase his confidence, and then added:
"Even if the Han music circle is dead, it's a big deal, just create a new one!"
