Hearing Gu Jiahui's gaffe praise, Chen Lang just chuckled and nodded, while Chen Shufen on the side was surprised.

Although Chen Shufen is not a senior music creator, as an experienced industry insider, she can also see that these ten songs are indeed rare good songs, coupled with the affirmation of Chen Lang's talent and consistent trust, Chen Shufen believes that this will still be a big hit.

But Gu Jiahui's words made Chen Shufen hear something else, this record may not only be a big hit, but also a name in the history of Hong Kong pop music?

When making Chen Lang's previous five records, Gu Jiahui would also praise Chen Lang for the songs he wrote, but it was by no means even to the point of gaffe now, is this record really extraordinary?

Chen Shufen's heart beat a little faster when she thought of this, Chen Shufen was worried about Chen Lang because of Alan Tam's strength and the speed of two records released every year, afraid that Alan Tam would defeat Chen Lang, which would be a huge blow to Chen Lang personally and to LL Records.

From the momentum of "Love Trap", it can be seen that there is a huge threat from Alan Tam, and Alan Tam will definitely release a record in the second half of the year, compared to Chen Lang, who only releases a record in the middle of the year, in the crazy January awards season every year, Chen Lang is likely to fall behind, and if Alan Tam is re-elected as the most popular male singer, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, after Chen Shufen heard Gu Jiahui's scene, she asked eagerly, "Is there anything very different about this record?" ”

When talking about "big difference", Chen Shufen obviously accentuated her tone.

"You've also seen these ten songs, so you should know what style of songs they are." Gu Jiahui looked down at the manuscript in his hand again and asked.

"Of course, although I am not a professional music creator, I can still see this kind of song with an obvious ancient Chinese style." Chen Shufen nodded.

"You only see that this is an ancient Chinese song, but you don't realize how these ten songs are different from the previous ancient Chinese songs, and it is these differences that surprise me, because these differences are an innovation, a perfect fusion, it creates a new and perfect world, which opens my eyes and fascinates me." The more Gu Jiahui spoke, the more excited he became, and finally even turned into a roar.

Chen Lang nodded secretly in his heart when he saw Gu Jiahui's gaffe, including himself, when countless fans heard this style of song for the first time, their first feeling was shocking, good-sounding, and classic, and they may not be able to accurately express their shock in words, but this antique word, a graceful but popular song, has been deeply rooted in everyone's minds.

In his previous life, as a fan, he could feel this kind of shock, and the shock of a real music giant like Gu Jiahui was undoubtedly a hundredfold, a thousand, and ten thousand times stronger.

"That's ...... Well...... Magical? Chen Shufen was once again shocked by Gu Jiahui's gaffe, but there were both doubts and expectations in it.

"It's probably not clear if you're not a real music creator, so I'll tell you about it." Gu Jiahui saw Chen Shufen's doubts and said seriously.

Chinoiserie, or Chinese style, is an art form or lifestyle that is based on traditional Chinese culture, contains a large number of Chinese elements and adapts to global fashion trends, and is widely used in the field of pop culture, such as movies, advertising, music, clothing, etc.

Chinese-style songs, that is, directly using or adding some ancient Chinese allusions and poems to the song as the background of the creation, using modern music to sing the classical taste, singing in a variety of ways.

Chinese style songs have a long history, but there is a clear dividing line and judging criteria.

Generally speaking, the songs that use ancient Chinese allusions and poems as the background of creation and sing with modern music are all Chinese-style songs, but this is not the same as the Chinese-style songs that many young people understand, and most of the Chinese-style songs that young people understand come from the Chinese-style songs of Tianwang Zhou Dong.

There are many Chinese-style songs with a wide range of meanings, and the forms are even more varied, such as Teresa Teng's record "Faint Love", which is the first record in the Chinese pop music scene to compose music with ancient poems, which can also be regarded as Chinese-style songs, but Teresa Teng's songs are obviously very different from Jay Chou's Chinese style.

In order to distinguish them, Chinese-style songs like Teresa Teng can be called classical Chinese-style songs, and after years of development and evolution, modern pop Chinese-style songs have emerged.

Modern pop Chinese style is divided into pure Chinese style and near Chinese style, and the Chinese style songs in the mouth of young people today are actually pure Chinese style of modern pop music, with Chou Dong's "East Wind Breaking" as the dividing point.

Before the birth of "East Wind Break", after years of development of modern pop Chinese style, many songs that are very close to pure Chinese style were born, which is an approximate form of Chinese style, an attempt to explore nostalgia, such as "Rear Window", "Ambush on All Sides", "Nunchuck" and so on.

After the birth of "East Wind Break", the standard of pure Chinese style songs was established, pure Chinese style is the combination of three ancient and three new (ancient words, ancient culture, ancient melody, new singing, new arrangement, new concept) of the combination of Chinese unique music, lyrics have Chinese cultural connotation, the use of new singing and arrangement skills to set off the atmosphere of the song, the song with the nostalgic Chinese back/scene and rhythm of the combination, produce subtle, melancholy, elegant, light and other song styles.

Pure Chinese style songs, referred to as Chinese style, the style of music is biased towards the traditional oriental performance, adding some oriental instruments, the tone of the song is tactful, looping, there is a traditional oriental beauty, similar to the Chinese style, the style of words pays attention to the conciseness of the language, refinement and the use of context, with the use of some poetry and literature, through some rhetorical techniques in Chinese, such as metaphors, borrowing, etc., to express the artistic conception of the song, such as "father-in-law migraine", "red dust inn" and so on.

At the same time, the Chinese style is mainly based on classical Chinese or ancient poetry. With this criterion, it is possible to rule out certain songs that are not Chinese-style. For example, Tao Zhe's "Whose Heart Does the Moon Represent", the song is very beautiful, and the rewriting brings infinite surprises, but because the rhetoric uses modern literary colors, it can only be positioned as an R&B-style resinging song.

A similar example is Hong Kong's Wei Lan's re-singing of "You Won't Come Tonight (Cantonese)", which was very successful, but because its rhetorical style is mainly modern, it should be classified as R&B.

At the same time, there are many commonly used singing methods of Chinese style songs, such as borrowing R&B singing, spiritual songs, black music, Rock, and Rap may also become elements of Chinese style, China is modern China, so in addition to history and culture, it is necessary to use new things from foreign sides to express new forms. China is also a China facing the world, not only to make music for Chinese, but also to make music for foreigners.

After the success of Chinese style, there are many people who follow the trend everywhere. The pursuit of ancient melodies, or the pursuit of "ancient" lyrics, emerges in an endless stream. But at the end of the day, chinoiserie isn't just about blending ancient music, or just a platter of a few ancient words. The real Chinese style still needs the pursuit of content, or it needs to have real connotation, not something superficial. Chinese style is not so simple three words, but the integration of Chinese culture, and culture, is heavy.

In short, Chinese-style songs are divided into classical Chinese-style and modern pop Chinese-style.

Modern pop Chinese style is divided into pure Chinese style and near-Chinese style.

Pure Chinese style is a song that meets the six conditions of three ancient and three new, and near Chinese style is a song that cannot meet certain conditions but is very close to pure Chinese style.

It's 1985, this kind of Chinese style songs are still in the classical Chinese style era, compared with modern pop Chinese style songs, classical Chinese style songs are more ancient, the lyrics directly use Song lyrics, and the arrangement is also ancient, without much breakthrough, this situation leads to these songs full of ancient meaning, but not modern enough, not popular enough, some of the high and low meaning.

In response to this situation, a small number of musicians in the music world are also studying how to better combine the precipitation of ancient Chinese civilization with modern pop music, collide with more brilliant sparks, and be more easily accepted by the majority of fans, especially teenagers.

This kind of research and development was not completed until 2003, when Dong Zhou's "East Wind Breaking" came out, and it took a full 18 years during this period, and you can imagine the hardships and hardships.

But now, ten mature Chinese-style songs that perfectly combine the classical and the modern have suddenly emerged, which makes it difficult for veteran music creator Gu Jiahui not to be shocked.

In fact, Chen Lang was also hesitant to come up with pure Chinese-style songs in one step before, but after thinking of Alan Tam's love trilogy and the terrifying release speed of two records a year, in order to increase his certainty of winning, Chen Lang decided that it would be better to go directly to the first step.

Needless to say, the classicism of these ten songs, after all, they are the best that has stood the test of time, plus Chen Lang is now famous and popular, it is not difficult to sell well, but in order to cope with Alan Tam's two records and the sharpness of the newly crowned king, Chen Lang's records must occupy a unique and great position in the music world while selling well.

After creating a new genre of Chinese style, Chen Lang's influence and status in the music industry, as well as his popularity among fans, will reach a higher level, and there is no need to worry about falling behind in the competition with Alan Tam because he only releases one record a year.

To put it mildly, just the achievement of creating Chinese-style songs is enough for Chen Lang to eat his old book for a lifetime, with this kind of solid foundation, even if there is only one record a year, it is definitely not inferior to Alan Tam, who is highly productive and high-quality.
