Chapter 363: Punk's Reflections
The eleventh edition of the original good song competition has come to the fifth song.
The biggest advantage of the two ghosts tonight is that the two songs are in a state of continuous release. So when they brought two very different kinds of rock music to the stage, the contrast was even more dramatic.
Different from psychedelic rock with magical colors, the second competition song of the two ghosts is very direct and simple, although it is pleasant, but both the melody and the arrangement seem much more straightforward.
The length of the song is not long, about three minutes.
This kind of rock music, if it is taken out alone, may make some viewers feel a little unenjoyable. But this song is placed after psychedelic rock, as if after using a meal of big fish and meat, I feel a little greasy, and suddenly I present a porridge side dish, the taste is light, and it is comfortable to eat.
So in Ye Luo's view, the two songs of the two ghosts tonight are a set of combination punches, with completely different styles, but they complement each other.
The response from the audience was also very good, and the applause was overwhelming. The accomplishments of the music duo in rock music made all the audience feel sincere admiration.
"Alright." Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "The second rock song of the Lingnan Music Duo is like this. Director Ye, I, an old teacher, are going to test you again, what style of rock is this song by the two directors Yu just now? ”
Ye Luo rolled his eyes, and the audience below laughed again.
Actually, since the start of this show, Ye Luo's words have not been much, especially in the past two episodes, when the two ghosts also found the feeling of doing the show, his words seemed to be even less.
It's not that Ye Luo has nothing to say, but he feels that he has won five consecutive championships in his hand, and he usually talks less, don't steal the limelight.
It's a pity that his age is there, and he is still a student, this kind of problem. Ding Shaoyang could only come to ask him, ask Chen Tianhua or the two ghosts, Lao Ding had already been killed by white eyes.
Therefore, Ye Luo can't do it without expressing Xiàn: "The two directors Yu put this song after psychedelic rock, which is ingenious. Make the whole show very complete.
Director Yu also introduced just now that psychedelic rock, which prevailed in the sixties of the last century, is a peak in the development of rock music, or commercial rock music.
The cultural background of psychedelic rock is the 'hippie' movement in the United States. At that time, hippies liked to sit in groups on the waterfront and in the park to chat, play musical instruments, and sing, and this kind of gathering was called the 'carnival rally'.
When the crowd at the rally grew, the rock band began to perform. This is the fertile soil in which psychedelic rock was born and grown.
But this rally grew more and more frenetic, and finally lost control, and during one of the performances of the band Rolling Time, a fan near the stage was murdered in the chaos. This event led to the end of the 'hippie' movement in the United States, and psychedelic rock also collapsed.
Rock 'n' roll in the sixties. Represented by psychedelic rock, it was gradually commercialized. Rock 'n' roll gradually entered a sad situation. For the sake of commercial gain, bands and musicians are increasingly lacking the sensitivity and resistance that rock music should have.
The incident that happened at the performance of the band also caused self-reflection and thinking among musicians and fans at that time, and this reflection deeply influenced rock music in the 70s of the last century.
After that in England, because of the economic depression. Unemployment was very high, and another cultural movement was launched.
This is the 'punk' movement, rock music under the influence of the 'punk' movement, we call it punk rock.
This kind of rock music was a great subversion of commercial rock at that time. It is also a kind of return to the original rock music, advocating the rock triad.
The so-called three chords refer to the song is composed of only the simplest three chords, without embellishment at all, in the most direct, powerful, and naked way to express what they want to say, and the song itself is often very short, only two to three minutes.
After this kind of rock music spread to the United States, American music fans, who experienced the pain of the hippie movement and were tired of commercial rock music, recognized this music form very much, so soon, punk rock became popular in Europe and the United States.
The second song that Director Yu dedicated to everyone just now is punk rock. Putting punk rock after psychedelic rock is intended to follow the history of rock 'n' roll. ”
Ye Luo rarely said such a long paragraph in one breath on this stage, and after finishing speaking, the audience responded with warm applause.
Ding Shaoyang nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Director Ye, I think with your eloquence, you should just stay in school to teach after graduation, and stop coming out to make music and compete for jobs with a few of us old guys." ”
Ye Luo smiled and didn't take a stubble.
Chen Tianhua said: "Director Ye was right just now, but since it comes to punk rock, I think there is a point that can be extended a little.
Punk rock, which gave birth to a revolution in the history of rock music, actually led to another thread in the development of rock 'n' roll, that is, the so-called 'do-it-yourself' and 'independent' concepts.
Rock 'n' roll' is a form of music that is known to have an unusual emphasis on 'individuality', but before punk rock, this 'personality' was usually expressed by a kind of 'spokesperson' - a rock star, which was reinforced by the wave of commercialization in the 70s.
Punk rock, and is not satisfied with this form of spokesperson.
What punk rock advocates is to dethrone the monopoly of celebrities' right to speak. Let all people who love music 'do it themselves' to create zào music and express themselves, and let everyone really 'independently' engage in music. Rather than letting tradition, authority, or big corporations become a fetters to both music and self-development.
With the rise of punk rock, or the awakening of the idea of independent music, the individualism and individuality in rock music began to enter a new level. It also laid the foundation for the success of the non-mainstream movement in the 90s, when 'non-mainstream' music became 'mainstream'.
Then I think that the holding and broadcast of our original good songs column will give the Chinese music scene a positive significance, which is equivalent to the significance of punk rock to rock music.
Our domestic pop music, in the last few years, was dominated by singers, not songs. I can also be honest to say that at that time, the songs themselves could not be sold for money, and the record company mainly relied on singers to make money.
And now, with the rise of Director Ye, the situation is different, the soil of original music is becoming fertile, and the enthusiasm and loyalty of music fans to the original music is increasing day by day.
Countless of us who love music, whether they are music lovers, music practitioners, or students of music conservatories, after entering the new century, your best era is coming.
Since the beginning of the original good song mentor competition, everyone has also seen that my grades are relatively poor. I am a commercial musician, and my poor grades mean that everyone's pursuit of musical personality has broken through the shackles of routine and templated commercial music.
For me, this is both gratifying and a sense of crisis.
Today, I listened to Director Yu's punk rock, which made me feel a lot of emotion......"
When Chen Tianhua said this, he suddenly remembered something, and said to the director of the scene: "It seems that what I said is too long, right?" ”
In response to Chen Tianhua, it was not the director's answer, but a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Ye Luo was also applauding, and Chen Tianhua's words were very weighty.
After Ye Luo and Chen Tianhua finished their introductions and comments, ten minutes passed.
Ding Shaoyang looked at the time and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. We have several mentors, each of us has more words than the other today, and you may not be able to make it to dinner tonight. Mentors, let's get tighter. ”
Yu Zuo said: "I didn't expect that our brothers' graffiti work would cause Director Chen to think so deeply, which flattered us. Okay, tonight, all the works of our brothers are on it, and next, it should be Director Chen's second work, right? ”
"That's right." Chen Tianhua nodded.
Chen Tianhua's second work is better than his first one.
is still in the category of pop rock, and the textbook-style works of commercial music are of extremely high quality, but after experiencing the psychedelic and punk duo of the two ghosts, Chen Tianhua has obviously lost half of the way in the realm of rock and roll.
Although the audience's response was still very enthusiastic after the song ended, Chen Tianhua's face sank like water.
Ye Luo could see that Chen Tianhua was reflecting.
Judging from the few songs that have ended tonight, the two ghosts show their understanding of rock music and superb rock skills, while Ding Shaoyang shows his firm and open rock attitude.
And Chen Tianhua didn't show anything, he just did commercial music as always. Although the song is beautiful, in the realm, it loses.
This kind of inferiority in the realm, if Chen Tianhua doesn't say it himself, Ye Luoding Shaoyang will naturally not say it, maybe the audience will pass in a daze, and it is not certain who is good and who is bad in the last three results.
But Chen Tianhua did not hide this, but admitted it calmly.
This kind of courage to completely abandon his prestige as the first person in the world for more than ten years and review it in public made Ye Luo admire it very much.
But after thinking about it, Ye Luo was relieved again. It is precisely because Chen Tianhua has such character and resilience that he was able to surpass Ding Shaoyang more than ten years ago and sit firmly on the throne of the first person in the world.
Just when Ye Luo was thinking about these questions, Ding Shaoyang's second work on the stage was almost performed.
This song Ding Shaoyang invited out his rock trump card, after the first day of domestic rock, Zhen Zhi.
The song she brought made Ye Luo feel very interesting.
It's a mountain rock, a form of rock that combines the string sounds of country music with the structure and lyric style of rhythm and blues music. It's also very exciting.
Unconsciously, the seven competition songs on the stage are finished, and immediately, the last competition song of this scene, which is also the second rock work of Ye Luo's current program, is about to debut. (To be continued......)
