When three Chinese appeared on the big screen, the hall that had been quiet was a little more noisy, European and American singers, mainly white and mixed-race, black slightly inferior, Latino again, almost no Asian. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For one, there are very few Asians in the United States.

Second, because the timbre of Asians is indeed somewhat different from that of Europeans and Americans, the vocal cord structure is generally not as thick as that of other races, but this is not the fundamental reason why Asians are not as good as Europeans and Americans.

For European and American singers and Asian singers, especially East Asian or Chinese singers, taking the technique transposition that is the longest used in pop music as an example, the difference in the use of the two is not caused by the difference in vocal cord structure, but by the difference in language.

Chinese people pay attention to the right words when they speak, and they sing too. In English, there are a lot of tail sounds (e.g., -s-p-te), and words such as the.through are pronounced differently and in different ways than Chinese.

Not to mention that there are a lot of legatures in English, such as I'm.we've, etc., it would be very strange to pronounce English in a way that is like Chinese.

In addition, there are many English syllables, and the speed of speech is very fast when singing English songs. Jazz aside, if an English song is sung by Chinese and European and American singers together, it will cause the audience to think that European and American singers are particularly awesome in transcribing, and Chinese singers are a bit scummy in comparison.

In fact, if you are an Asian singer or a Chinese singer who grew up in Europe and the United States since childhood, you will not feel much worse than European and American singers when singing English songs.

But because of the color of the skin, it is difficult for these Asians who can sing to have a chance to stand out, unless your singing skills and talent are enough to surpass a large number of European and American singers, no company is willing to praise an Asian, after all, you belong to a minority group in the United States, although most Americans say that this kind of race is equal, but in fact, everyone believes in white supremacy in their hearts.

As an Asian-American who grew up in the United States and is now a director who eats in Hollywood, Cheng Xiaoyu can be said to have a deep understanding that most people in other countries have misunderstood the United States because of movies and TV series, and the United States' favorite thing to do is to blame other countries for human rights problems, so most people think that the United States is a paradise for the working masses and a country that believes in fairness and justice.

In fact, the United States is a typical double-standard country, for example, as its senior ally, Saudi Arabia, which is still a monarchy and dictatorship, will not be blamed.

And within the United States, the execution of political correctness such as racial equality is very strange.

On the one hand, Cheng Xiaoyu can realize that even if you are rich and powerful, once you speak in line with the political correctness of racial equality, you will immediately attract overwhelming criticism, and may even cause extremely heavy economic losses.

But on the other hand, as an Asian American who grew up in the United States, he also knows that the basic personal safety of minorities is almost not guaranteed.

White police officers can arbitrarily arrest and even kill black people in the streets, but they will not be punished in any substance, even sanctions. In the same case, whether the perpetrator is black or white also has a great impact on the verdict.

Even more tragic are the minorities of Native Americans and Asians, whose legal rights are far less protected than those of blacks and Latinos. It could even be argued that political correctness does not protect Indians at all, and it rarely protects Asians.

Without him, it is just because these two ethnic groups are small in number and have little influence.

The reason why Asians rarely have accidents is because Asians are generally more honest and rarely cause trouble in American society, but even the most hardworking and forbearant ethnic groups are still not recognized by the mainstream American society and have almost no political status in the United States.

Although the situation improved at the end of the twentieth century because of the growing unity of Chinese and Asian Americans, you can see that Chinese Americans still only form circles with Chinese Americans, and there are no whites who accept Chinese Americans into white circles at all, unless they intermarry.

No matter how hard Chinese Americans try, it is impossible to be recognized by mainstream American society, only elites like Cheng Xiaoyu can be accepted, but how many rich and "talented" people like him are still Chinese born in the United States?

Not long ago, because he was a leader among Chinese Americans, he was invited to join the "Committee of 100" (C-100), an elite organization of Chinese Americans.

President Wu Yanghua personally invited him, to talk about the "100 people", among the Chinese can be said to be a famous name, the world-renowned cellist Ma Liyou, the great architect Bei Luming, the Chinese-American politician and the United States ambassador to China Luo Jiahui are all members of the 100 people.

And President Wu Yanghua is the first Asian and Chinese law school dean in California history, and has been selected by industry publications as the most influential dean in the field of legal education in the United States.

But was mercilessly rejected by Cheng Xiaoyu, because the concept was different.

These older generation of Chinese immigrants are essentially committed to de-Chineseization, and are committed to making Chinese people completely integrate into American society and become American citizens, which is completely contrary to the new generation of Chinese people of Cheng Xiaoyu's generation who are proud of their Chinese ancestry, and even have a greater sense of superiority over their own blood and skin color.

Those people of the older generation who came to the United States on J-1 student visas to work as second-class citizens when China was not yet developed in the eighties and nineties are looking down on the new generation of Chinese people in their bones, and they are full of Cheng Xiaoyu, a new generation of Chinese who buy luxury goods, drive luxury sports cars, and eat swallow and abalone wings, who first think that they are the descendants of the dragon, and look at the nouveau riche relatives in the countryside.

Cheng Xiaoyu also has a very deep understanding of this, so when he just started making movies in Los Angeles, some Chinese newspapers also ridiculed him, the third generation of red, and he was too lazy to care about these Cheng Xiaoyu, but now that he is also famous, he wants him to join the organization and touch the light of him, a new celebrity.

Sorry, no way.

Cheng Xiaoyu is very clear, if Chinese Americans want to win political status in the United States, it is simply impossible, after all, Huaxia is the most powerful opponent of the United States, no matter how you cut it, your skin color is your label.

Blacks, Latinos, Indians, and even Muslims who are making trouble everywhere can have sweetness because they can be assimilated, and these people can die with a little cultural identity in their home country, but it is difficult to leave much of a sense of belonging to the country.

The United States is the country they want to "belong to" for a long time.

The situation of the Chinese people is naturally very different, especially in recent years, when the Chinese people have taken charge of the world with the United States in the 21 st century. Many Chinese people in the United States wish that they could have equal opportunities between China and the United States, so how can they only give up on the United States?

Therefore, the position of the Chinese in the United States is really embarrassing.

Cheng Xiaoyu spends a lot of effort to put Xia Shamo on the throne of the queen of heaven, and also wants to open the door to mainstream society for Chinese Americans, not to mention that Michael Jackson was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, at least he hopes that through his own efforts, he can bring a golden age to Chinese Americans.

For a moment, Cheng Xiaoyu's thoughts drifted a little far because of the discussion around him, indeed, it was a little strange for a Chinese person to appear in a talent competition with singing ability as the main purpose.

Skin color aside, it makes sense for American musicians to look down on Chinese musicians, after all, Chinese pop music is all played with neon, and neon is the stuff of Americans 30 years ago.

After all, pop music was created by Americans in the thirties of the last century, and its birth and evolution are closely related to American history and culture, at most with some British influences.

Today, there are more than 300 genres, and each of them has a lot of audiences, but only the Chinese people only sing about the motherland, the army, and the national unity, and it was not until the reform and opening up in the 80s and 90s that they came into contact with rock and folk songs, which Americans have played rotten.

It wasn't until Cheng Xiaoyu appeared that the whole of China set off the RNB trend, and the reason why the RNB trend in China didn't come out until Cheng Xiaoyu appeared, which is also the reason why Cheng Xiaoyu was able to beat Chinese musicians.

Because in order to accept RNB, it is necessary to abandon the traditional melody with Chinese national characteristics before switching to R&B, which is dominated by rhythm.

This is not only a change in the music itself, but also a change in the way it is sung. As a language like Japanese and Chinese, the independence of syllables and semantics is completely different from the large number of adverbs in English singing.

However, Huaxia is dominated by singers, that is, the composer should write songs according to the singer's singing characteristics, rather than how the composer thinks it is good, how it hangs, and how it will be popular.

Before Cheng Xiaoyu, heavy words and light songs, heavy melodies and light rhythms have always been the characteristics of Chinese pop music, until Cheng Xiaoyu teamed up with Poison to come up with a series of blockbuster works, which began to change the listening habits of Chinese people.

It is no exaggeration to say that Cheng Xiaoyu and Poison are milestone-level musicians in today's Chinese pop music scene, you can imagine Jay Chou + countless billboard top songs + K-POP brainwashing stream, this kind of Chinese musicians who can crush Chinese musicians who are still in the folk + rock period from the advancement of music, how big the impact on Chinese music in this era is.

Cheng Xiaoyu also thought carefully about why Chinese musicians are still so backward in the 21st century and are still playing music that is not advanced enough, which is also caused by historical and cultural reasons and interests.

First, China does not have Hong Kong and Taiwan, as Cheng Xiaoyu remembers, where Chinese and Western cultures exchange and collide.

Second, as mentioned earlier, the creation of a Chinese song is dominated by singers and the market, and the musician's right to speak is completely ignored.

Third, in China, the most vocal among musicians is the lyricist, and the lyricist can be used as a marketing point of the pop music model, in the development of pop music for so many years, only Chinese music, heavy words and light music, is also one of the fundamental reasons why Chinese pop music lags behind European and American music.

Most Chinese people know those Chinese lyricists who can write a good poem, which is a tradition since ancient times, such as Liu Sanchang, and modern memories such as Lin Xi, Huang Weiwen, and Fang Wenshan can become godfather-level characters.

But who can say who the composers of those big hits were?

Aside from those musicians who have come to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, such as Dong Chou, Lin JJ, and David Tao, how many people know Sanbao, Zhao Jiping, Mak Zhenhong, Chen Xiaoxia, Lei Songde, Ze Risheng, and Guo Weiliang?

However, in the European and American pop music scene, the status of composition, arrangement, and mixing is higher than that of the lyricist, which also causes the cultural differences between the East and the West in the composition of a song.

So Cheng Xiaoyu, a demon who combines lyrics, songs, and arrangement, and has a strong background, can shake the entire pop music scene by himself and become the creator of Chinese pop music in this time and space.

At this time, even Cheng Xiaoyu himself didn't know how much change he had brought to Chinese pop music.

But one thing he knows is that he has brought an incomparable singer to Huaxia, a female singer who is qualified to stand on the podium of the Grammy Best Female Singer and represent the highest level of today's music scene.

At this time, Xia Shamo, who was wearing a white dress and looked a little thin and restrained, had already walked through the narrow and dark corridor from the interview area and headed towards the stage.

She walked out of the corridor, facing the sky, and came to the center of the brilliant stage with light steps, more than a thousand audiences, most of them had no expectations for this Chinese girl, only a little sparse applause, all of which were sent by Cheng Xiaoyu.

But Xia Shamo's expression was still indifferent, the chasing light hit her, the piano prelude sounded, she held the microphone stand in front of her, and the momentum of the whole person changed.

The Empress is coming.
