Chapter 863: Controversy
On October 12, the Xiangjiang "Star Daily" published a long review on the front page of the entertainment section: "Pop Music Conquers the Fortress of Classical Music", praising Ye Zi's actions last night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The article says.
…… Last night, Master Sun Yun's comeback concert continued, and this concert once again achieved the same brilliant success as yesterday, with more than a dozen curtain calls and returns, and the whole concert was extended to two hours and forty-five minutes before finally coming to an end. Although the direction of the author's work is pop music, this does not prevent the author from respecting the master. Here, I would like to congratulate Master Sun Yun once again on his tenacious comeback from the torture of illness.
Xiangjiang is very fortunate in the classical music scene, and Xiangjiang is very lucky!
However, the focus of today's article is not on Master Sun Yun, the author wants to talk about Mr. Ye Zi, a disciple of Master Sun Yun and an outstanding singer who has recently risen in our Xiangjiang pop music scene, and a young singer from Shencheng in mainland China.
At Master Sun Yun's comeback concert last night, Ye Zi took the stage as a disciple of the master to perform for his mentor. To be honest, the author doesn't fully understand these classical guitar pieces played by Ye Zi, but from the reaction of the audience and what the author has seen with his own eyes, Ye Zi has a deep attainment in classical guitar instruments, which the author is completely sure of. Just from the octopus-like changes in Ye Zi's left and right hands when playing, people can guess how high or low his playing ability is.
Although it is surprising that the pop singer Ye Zi, who has three platinum record sales, suddenly became a disciple of a piano master, and his profound knowledge of classical music is also amazing, these are still not the focus of the author.
What I want to talk about today is Ye Zi's last encore.
Under the strong demand of the audience, Ye Zi performed two more pieces of music after the three cheering songs. What is more special is the last encore, Ye Zi chose to sing a folk song, the name of the song is "You at the Same Table". The author likes Ye Zi's new work very much, the lyrics are fresh and natural, the melody is smooth and catchy, and until now the author can immediately hum all the melodies of the chorus.
Is it hard to write a good song?
It is difficult for many people, but it should not be difficult for Ye Zi, we have seen several songs written by Ye Zi, which are good works that can be passed down for several years, or even decades. So the fact that Ye Zi has released another good song is still not the focus of the author.
What I want to tell you today is that a pop singer sang a pure pop song in the course of a pure classical concert, and this fact is even worthy of being recorded in the history of Hong Kong pop music!
Good!
Great!
Never before had a pop singer been able to take over the stage of a classical concert with a purely pop song. The older generation of Sister Xiaofen failed to do it, Principal Tan and Sister Mei also failed to do it, and the kings who were in the middle of the day also failed to do it.
However, the young Ye Zi did it!
I don't know if there is a precedent for such a thing in other places, but in Xiangjiang, this is certainly the first time it has occurred.
This is a day for Hong Kong pop music to raise its eyebrows in the big circle of music!
Even if it's just for the scene that happened yesterday, I think it's worth revealing to all of us who work in pop music! The author hereby swears that from now on, Ye Zi, a young man, will be the singer and idol that the author will always support, even if his works are criticized as worthless, even if his voice is completely destroyed, the author will support him to the end!
Why is this happening?
This is because in the big circle of music, classical music, classical musicians, and critics have always looked down on pop music, and they believe that pop music does not help to educate Li Shu, but is just a "cheap art" that only ordinary people like to see in the streets and alleys. Only classical music is a truly high art and a true spiritual need of human beings.
We really want to thank these high-ranking people for their mercy, although they used the word "cheap" to describe our beloved pop music, but at least they left us with the word "art", and did not completely eliminate pop music from the category of music art.
What a broad heart, shouldn't all of us who work in pop music be grateful for this?
Ye Zi answered for us, and his answer was "no".
Ye Zi was the first to break the blockade and contempt of classical music for pop music, and sang a pop song of the lower riba people at a classical concert that he considered noble, high, and arrogant, which deserves the respect and praise of all our pop music practitioners!
Judging by the reaction to last night's live, pop music and pop songs were also able to capture the polite audience who came to enjoy classical music in costumes, who also gave warm applause and even crazy shouts.
Is pop music an inferior "cheap art"?
Ridiculous!
Such boring remarks, from the time Ye Zi sat on the stage of last night's concert and sang the song "You at the Same Table", from the time when the audience gave the audience applause and full applause, please ask those noble people who think they are superior to never mention it again, so as not to be slapped in the face by Ye Zi and other excellent pop singers in one way or another.
Bang bang, it hurts!
……
The long review in the Daily Star was full of bitter sarcasm, laughing and scolding classical music and the classical music circle for a while. The conflict between classical music and pop music has been going on for a long time, and such an article will certainly win the full support of all the media that belong to the pop music scene.
This is already the second attitude, but it is not over, there are other media voices of the third, fourth and even nth different voices.
For example, in Xiangjiang's "Cheng Pao", Sima Minghui's article is different from the previous two extreme attitudes of insisting on different words.
Sima Minghui, as the president of Ye Zi's Xiangjiang Fan Association, a personal friend and a special reporter, of course, must also make his voice heard in time at such a time. However, when writing this review, Sima Minghui discussed with Ye Zi and Tangtai Wenhui for a long time, and finally wrote this ambiguous and impartial comment, titled "For Ye Zi, how many surprises and wonders can we expect".
This review brushes aside the debate between classical music and pop music, which is so important to other media, and does not clearly express its position at all, and the article is based entirely on the other two points.
The first point is Ye Zi's talent and attainments in classical music, especially in classical guitar playing. In fact, this point is not too much said in the article, Sima Minghui just gave readers a simple answer to some relevant situations under Ye Zi's apprenticeship under Sun Yunmen, as well as Ye Zi's current general performance level. In the article, Sima Minghui has made the problem clear through the performance of the Shencheng Spring International Music Festival and the celebration performance of the Paris National Conservatory of Music that will take place next year.
If interested readers want to know more, they can also take out the series of reports "The Classical Journey of a Pop Singer" written by Sima Minghui during the Spring of Shencheng to re-watch, at that time, these reports attracted many loyal Ye Zi fans for "Cheng Pao".
This time, Sima Minghui directly simplified and omitted.
The second point is Ye Zi's new song "You at the Same Table", as well as the folk genre of this song. This point is the point of Sima Minghui's article.
After introducing Ye Zi's new work in detail, Sima Minghui began to write about the development history of folk songs, and continued to write about the current situation of folk songs in the Xiangjiang music scene, as well as some changes that Ye Zi's campus folk song and the next series of folk songs may bring to the Xiangjiang music scene. Lin Lin always wrote a lot, and Sima Minghui wrote all the key things that should be mentioned in this article.
Sima Minghui has unique favorable conditions, and can interview Ye Zi himself, Sun Yun, Cai Qingde, Tai Wenhui, and even Wen Wen, and obtain many first-hand information that others cannot grasp. His writing is also quite good, and the choice of words and sentences is not ornate, but it is quite concise and in place.
As soon as this article came out, it immediately caused a lot of repercussions and shocks among Ye Zi's fans in Xiangjiang. Through Sima Minghui's article, Ye Zi conveyed a clear signal for the first time, that is, the second album that fans are very concerned about has already been raised.
This album will be a folk-style album.
……
Of course, there are other different voices, but for Ye Zi and Tangtai Wenhui, this article written by Sima Minghui is what they really need. This article not only introduces Ye Zi's situation in classical music, but also conveys his news in the pop music scene, and the amount of information contained in the article is quite large.
As for the controversy between pop and classical music, which is so important to other media, it has nothing to do with us.
This is the unanimous view of Ye Zi and Yutai Wenhui. (To be continued.) )
