Chapter 88: The Aesthetics of the Masses
yes, I'm looking forward to it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Su Yongming smiled lightly.
In this round of competition, the song he chose for Su Xiaoya was even bolder than the last time. The last time I chose the queen of heaven, "I wish people a long time", there is still a little bit of ancient style, and this time there are almost no traces of ancient style, more of the earth's modern pop music.
"The brightest star in the night sky", this is the song that Su Yongming chose for Su Xiaoya to deal with the first round of PK.
Su Yongming doesn't understand music, and he doesn't have confidence in his taste and ears, so he just clicked on the Chinese song list of a music app and selected a female song in the top 50.
Of course, before choosing this song, he also read the comments on the Internet, "The quiet mood and romantic feelings projected in this song 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' are moving." People who listen carefully to this song will hear those persistence and pursuit of dreams and ideals, and I believe that many people will hear which one belongs to themselves once upon a time in this work. ā
So it's time to finalize this one. A little girl in her early 20s is perfect for singing about romantic feelings and dreams and ideals.
As for what kind of genre this song is, what kind of voice is suitable for people to sing, and whether it can be accepted by the mainstream music circle of Aeus, I'm sorry, this is not within the scope of Su Yongming's consideration.
For Su Yongming, I can't tell the difference between R\&B, jazz, rock, country, and pop...... For music idiots, being able to do this is already a good thing.
"I wish she could surprise me again today." Guo Qing blinked, and as soon as she talked about music, the sorrow in her tone disappeared without a trace.
"Surprise can definitely be surprised, but joy may not be." Su Yongming said with a smile.
Guo Qing's eyes were full of doubts: "So, Yongming, have you heard Xiaoya's new song?" How do you feel? ā
"Anyway, I like it. As for what other people will think, that's not something I can handle. Su Yongming also told the truth, before copying the lyrics and songs of this song to Su Xiaoya, he listened to it at least ten times, and the more he listened to it, the more he liked it.
Of course, this song is still a lot worse than the palace-level songs in his mind, but then again, it's better to come out later for those real classics.
Guo Qing thought thoughtfully: "When you say this, I'm also a little worried, Xiaoya's songs are too bold, and they may not be appreciated by these seniors in the music industry." ā
She was talking about the jury of today's competition. The face of the Yanhuang Academy Alliance is very big, and as soon as it was launched, it invited a huge jury of 30 people, among which the judges are all big names in the music industry, and their seniority and qualifications are not comparable to the boss of a small entertainment company like Guo Qing.
"Scared?" Su Yongming said gently, "If you don't want to push Xiaoya anymore, I can understand it, it's a big deal for me to do it alone." ā
Guo Qing brushed his hair behind his ears and smiled: "Yongming, you also underestimate me." I'm not just a businessman, I'm a musician. It would be a pity if Xiaoya's singing voice couldn't float to every corner of Aeus, even if it was a loss, I would do my best to help her promote it. ā
"That's not necessary," Su Yongming said with a smile, "You can't lose money." I'll make up for you as much as you lose. This is my sister, and I'm willing to spend as much as I want for her. ā
Guo Qing looked at Su Yongming and smiled sweetly, with a taste of everything being unspoken. At this moment, there was a strange emotion in her heart. If "he" was still there, he would probably be so spoiled by himself, right? It's just that from now on, there will never be anyone in this world who is unconditionally good to himself like "him......
Thinking about it, I really envy Xiao Yana.
This time, the audience does not vote for the contestants, from the current round of 36 to the final 3-person PK, all the votes are firmly in the hands of the 30-member jury.
After each contestant takes the stage, a few of the 30 judges will give their opinions, and then each will score them, and finally 18 will be determined to advance to the next round.
Naturally, there is no such thing as a repechage match, after all, this is not a star draft, but a competition in which the Yanhuang Academy Alliance entertains itself behind closed doors, and it is not responsible for the ratings.
Su Xiaoya's number drawn is No. 14, which is relatively close to the middle, which is also a better position, Su Yongming doesn't know if his father is operating in it.
There are already ten people in front of him, and it will soon be Xiaoya's turn. After the tenth person finished singing, the on-site judges commented on a few sentences according to the usual practice, and it could be seen that they were not satisfied with the performance of this contestant, but only politely praised two sentences.
Su Yongming yawned: "It's boring, I don't even have a song that makes people shine." ā
Guo Qing smiled and said: "Actually, there are a few tunes that are really good, but they all pay too much attention to self-expression, which seems too high and low, which does not meet the aesthetics of the public, but people in the music industry can hear good or bad, you see that their scores are actually not low." ā
"The aesthetic of the masses?" Of course, Su Yongming knows that in the world of Aeus, the so-called "public aesthetics" is the most taboo in works of art, and what they want is maverick and high mountains and flowing water, so Guo Qing's view of attaching great importance to public aesthetics is a bit different.
Su Yongming deliberately put on a very common argument: "Art is art, what does it matter to the public?" Isn't there a saying that what is appreciated by the public is not art, it is called kitsch. ā
"Entertainment is meant to be watched by the public. If you can't get the public to like it, then it's better to make music behind closed doors and post it online for a few confidants to enjoy. Guo Qing patiently explained to this music idiot.
What Guo Qing said is actually the most common view on the earth. It's a pity that in the world of Aeus, there are not many people who have this kind of understanding. Even the so-called entertainment industry does not have the spirit of "entertainment to death" like the entertainment industry on the earth.
Eyus's entertainment industry is full of people who think of themselves as real artists, movie stars don't sing to make money, singers don't go to variety shows to make money, and hosts don't act in movies to make money......
Therefore, this so-called entertainment industry is still a long way from the real entertainment industry in Su Yongming's mind. But in fact, it doesn't matter, under the fires of war, everything is powder.
Su Yongming doesn't really want to make his sister an entertainment superstar, as long as she has fun.
At this time, three more singers ended the performance. The judges were commenting on the thirteenth singer to appear, and there was already a faint commotion in the audience.
Su Yongming heard that there were also people around him talking: "Xiaoya is about to appear!" ā
"Is it, is the goddess finally going to show up?"
"Hey, I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm finally able to see the goddess."
"Don't make trouble, Xiaoya is the goddess of our Modu University of Arts, what does it have to do with your Yenching University?"
"That's not right what you say, the goddess belongs to all mankind!"
"If you have the ability, you Yenching University will also come out of a goddess, you are not allowed to rob us!"
Su Yongming laughed when he heard it, he looked at Guo Qing, and saw that Guo Qing couldn't help but laugh, but the light in her eyes was more determined, and she seemed to have more confidence in Su Xiaoya.
