Chapter 606: The decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City
Hao Yifeng has been following this high-profile controversy, and he originally thought that the poison would not really stand up as the public expects. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Because according to what he knows, the relationship between Poison and the "Idol Project" is good, and Cheng Xiaoyu is the director of the "Idol Project", and there is nothing strange about the two of them cherishing each other and knowing each other, so the chances of getting up are not very high.
However, he didn't expect that it was "poison" that actually sent a song "Compendium of Materia Medica" with such an obvious provocation, Cheng Xiaoyu only took Chinese medicine as an example yesterday, saying that the Chinese tradition is too closed, and today Poison wrote a song with obvious content to respond, this is to be just!
He just listened to the "Compendium of Materia Medica" a few times and was thinking about whether Cheng Xiaoyu would respond, but he didn't expect that there would be countless people who said that Cheng Xiaoyu had also posted a song, Hao Yifeng couldn't wait to click on Cheng Xiaoyu's "whisper", and sure enough, there was also a music link.
Both of them are musicians he admires very much, although he selfishly prefers the obvious style of "poison", but it does not mean that he does not recognize Cheng Xiaoyu's level, he has always been looking forward to Cheng Xiaoyu can create works that shock him, but although the works presented by Cheng Xiaoyu in the "Idol Project" are of a very high level, they are too commercial and are not his dish.
The music of "Guilty Crown" is indeed of a very high level, more than one grade higher than the current Chinese music, but it also makes him unable to see the style and characteristics of Cheng Xiaoyu's music, lacking a recognizable label, unlike the personal style of "Poison" is so obvious and strong, what makes him resentful is that although Cheng Xiaoyu's works are all-inclusive, they are indeed all European and American music, and lack the charm of China.
Originally, this showdown should be the highlight of the year-end awards season, but at present, it seems that Huaxia Music, which is only judged by the market, has been abused to the fullest, so the ending is easy to see. But now this music showdown has nothing to do with the market, it is purely a battle with music as a weapon, and whoever has a high level will have the eyes of the masses.
Hao Yifeng is personally optimistic about poison, after all, there is no doubt about the attainment of poison in "Chinese style", and poison has been committed to the research of Chinese style music, if it is a competition in other aspects, Hao Yifeng of course thinks that Cheng Xiaoyu's chance of winning may be greater, but it is only Chinese style music, Hao Yifeng feels that the lyrics and songs are soaked in poison with a strong Chinese flavor is more certain.
But all this is just speculation, Hao Yifeng excitedly clicked on the link sent by Cheng Xiaoyu, there was no explanation on it, and there was no name, he put on the headphones and clicked play, for a short time at the beginning, there was silence in the headphones, as if it was a long silence in the dark. (BGM< Berklee College of Music Super Cool Folk Music Plays "Hot Girl", Baidu search for the previous sentence, a station and Youku can find the video, I will send a link in the comments later, but not necessarily all)
The first thing that came was the distant slightly crisp sound of electric steel, like a morning bell in the twilight, and also like a countdown before bringing in, and then the ocarina broke through the vast silence, at this moment Hao Yifeng was like a chivalrous man standing on the city wall looking at the rising sun, and the sound of the piano slowly entering was like a river flowing in the distance through the empty wilderness, because of the sound of the ocarina, a strong breath with a sense of ancient pictures came to the face.
Hao Yifeng admired in his heart that he was worthy of being born in a professional class, and his foundation was really good, and the simple three musical instruments created an incomparably lonely and magnificent grand scene, but what surprised him was still to come.
Then the sound of the ocarina receded, the main theme was replaced with gourd silk, and the transformation of musical instruments was used to drive a slight change in the style of music, Hao Yifeng could only secretly applaud here, Cheng Xiaoyu's interpretation of traditional musical instruments was too exciting, how could ordinary people string the ocarina and gourd silk together, and create another completely different artistic conception, as if taking the audience, from the morning sun rising in the mist, into the mountains and rivers with a light rain, at this moment has come from the city wall of the wilderness to the winding Li River between the water and clouds, At this time, he seemed to be standing on a bamboo raft to the music, watching the fishermen in the robes rowing with poles in the rain.
After the flute was changed again, the rhythm of the music began to speed up, and it passed the initial loneliness and gentleness, as if from the Li River into a turbulent Yangtze River, with thousands of walls on both sides.
But the music seemed to have just begun, Hao Yifeng heard that the rhythm was still speeding up, and then suddenly the electric sound cut in, and the music began to steepen, as if there was a terrifying waterfall in front of him. Hao Yifeng's heartbeat is getting faster and faster, he is looking forward to Cheng Xiaoyu's turn, and after paving the way for so long, the climax finally came.
At this time, Xia Shamo's low chant through the fog, through the rainy season, through the clouds, through the long river, through time and space exploded in his ears!
"Hot girls are afraid of not being spicy since they were young, hot girls are not afraid of being spicy when they grow up, and hot girls are afraid of not being spicy when they get married......."
This adapted song is actually "Hot Girls", it's incredible, it's incredible, it's incredible, it's amazing! Hao Yifeng opened his mouth wide, unable to believe his ears.
In the next musical instrument, Hao Yifeng burst into tears in an instant, this is suona, the sound of suona comes in, the whole painting style changes abruptly, as if standing on the top of the mountains, sitting and watching the years rise and fall, time is like a beautiful painting, like a slide to present the dust left by history in front of Hao Yifeng's eyes, but the speed is getting faster and faster, with a section of suona, and then the electronic music completely enters!
Instant explosion!
...............
After listening to Hao Yifeng, he wiped his tears a little, he originally learned suona, played suona for more than ten years, and can also play the difficult famous song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" (this song is used in the wedding venue), but after graduation, he went out to run, whether it was in the countryside or in the city, people would rather let someone who had just learned the saxophone for two months to play "The Moon Represents My Heart", and he was not willing to let him come to a song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", and now almost no students will learn this instrument, Hao Yifeng once felt that he could no longer see the future of suona.
Suona at this time has very few people to practice, the first everyone feels rustic and tacky, second, now the houses are all snail dwellings, this instrument is really loud, there is no place to practice, but large folk orchestras need more than a dozen suona, can only find some other wind music to practice suona temporarily.
In folk music, many girls are the first choice for guzheng, and most of the people who learn musical instruments in a comprehensive university are even guzheng, but a national orchestra only needs one or two, so it has also caused the current situation of extremely uneven distribution and employment.
Hao Yifeng couldn't help but click play again, this adaptation of the southern Hunan folk song "Hot Girl" really made him have to admire, and Cheng Xiaoyu's understanding of Chinese folk musical instruments is profound, and the ingenious use of Chinese folk instruments can only be described as breathtaking.
Suona is not bad to hear, but no one has studied and excavated.
Hao Yifeng excitedly posted a "whisper" "Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City".
"Poison" "This Morning Compendium" hangs as always, and many people probably can't understand the lyrics, so I'll interpret it for you.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" is just a name, a metaphor, and the metaphor is a medical book for the treatment of ideological pathologies, and the "poison" here is to express dissatisfaction with the state of the demise of national consciousness.
He called on everyone to cherish traditional culture and not worship foreign culture, expressing his indignation at the extinction of the culture and music of the Han nation, which is now gradually westernized.
The zombies in the lyrics refer to the modern Chinese people, a group of Chinese people with the face, but they have forgotten their ancestors, they have long lost their national culture and national spirit, and they only have a shell of money worshippers, who like fragrant car beauties, and forget their roots who like Westernized pop trends.
Of course, the bad thing about this song is that in the lyrics, the name of the medicine is a bit messed up for rhyme. It is a work that is above the level of profound connotation.
What surprised me was Director Cheng's adaptation of "Hot Girls", which is actually not an adaptation, but a completely rearranged new music that borrows elements of the folk song "Hot Girls".
Arrangement is a re-creation of a musical work, usually referring to the different ways in which a work is expressed. The general way of working is to compose and complete a certain part of the unfinished music (such as the main melody, main melody and chord progression of the music, relatively simple form and musical prototype of arrangement, etc.).
Cheng Xiaoyu's arrangement is a bold and innovative use of national musical instruments as a whole, his arrangement is very careful and has his own ideas, the original song of "Hot Girl" will be relatively bland, and it lacks a strong point for the singer to bombard the audience.
Generally, the adaptation of the immovable broadsword will directly enhance the intensity of the rhythm, the loop of the hook, the power of singing, and other simple methods to cater to the stimulation required by the live.
But Cheng Xiaoyu's adaptation is like a drastic move, very different from the original song, basically only maintaining the original few words, changing the rhythm from 4/4 to 8/12, and the original folk song has become a refreshing modern music, which makes people basically can't think of the original song.
Following the change of the main theme of the national musical instrument, you can hear and see the endless history from the audio, Cheng Xiaoyu advances each paragraph, step by step to the apex, when you listen to it, you don't realize it, but slowly you are brought to the apex of an emotion by him.
In general, his arrangements are bold, thoughtful, and tailor-made, and the use of national musical instruments has indeed taught many folk musicians a vivid lesson. All you can feel is that this is a genius.
This first matchup, regardless of the influence of their music in your mind before, the two of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are on equal footing, I can only say that this kind of music duel is really awesome!
Vogue! Daring! Sharp! It's just exciting, if Chinese pop music is all such masterpieces, who wouldn't like it?
I wish there was another round.
What Hao Yifeng didn't expect was that not only was there a next game, but this showdown had just begun.......
