"Uncle Wen, this is flying up by Ding Ning's black."

Listening to Ding Ning's eloquent conversation, the corners of Fu Yueran's mouth involuntarily raised.

This guy, Uncle Wen is so good to him, and he actually "hacked" Uncle Wen in such a public occasion, isn't this pure heart to knock Uncle Wen off the altar.

Fu Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay for him to say it publicly, at least let everyone know more about domestic pop music." ”

"If he says it so bluntly, isn't he afraid of being scolded?" Before, Fu Yueran would be worried that Ding Ning would say such a pass, and it would be his turn to be hacked so much that he flew up.

But now, it's been a year since Ding Ning debuted, and he has grown extremely strong in this year, and black is already another embodiment of red for him.

However, saying such a thing in such a public place, she still thinks that Ding Ning is a little "too young"?

"If he is afraid of being scolded, there will be no "Embattled"."

"That's it." Fu Yueran said.

And there are some things that can only be said at his level. He now sees not only himself, but the entire music world. The Chinese music scene may not have much room for improvement now, he said this, he just doesn't want to have only achievements and no achievements. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Zhou paused: "After all, with the works he has come up with now, there are breakthroughs in each category, but they have not yet reached the height of achievement." If he had been born more than ten years earlier, he might have replaced Zheng Wei, but he was born more than ten years later. ”

I didn't expect my father to give such an interpretation of Ding Ning's current words and deeds, and Fu Yueran suddenly felt a sense of sudden realization.

Is Ding Ning ready to rely on his own efforts to break the current status quo in the music industry?

Or rather. Do you want to single-handedly influence the landscape of today's music scene?

This ambition is big, but if it's Ding Ning. She thought she could.

On the red carpet, after listening to Ding Ning's words. Zang Luping showed a look of admiration: "So, your rock 'n' roll is mainly in a positive direction. I used to think that you can be popular because the music is well done. Now I find out that you can be popular because you have a proper musical attitude. I rarely hear a singer say such a thing in public like this, I don't know if you want everyone to make a change when you say it today. ”

Ding Ning said: "One thing, I just don't want to see so many excellent musicians, trapped in the quagmire left by their predecessors and unable to get out." Foreign folk songs and rock are constantly improving. The influence is still very amazing, and it is still an enduring big category, not a niche. And we are stagnant, even backwards, which is a pity. ”

Zang Luping continued: "Speaking of the minority, I don't know if you can talk about a very strange ideological concept in the current folk and rock music scene. That is to say, there are people who think that they have a sense of superiority in listening to folk songs and rock, and they don't like the works and singers they want to be popular. ”

This topic is a bit sensitive, because if you are not careful, you will poke at the G-spot of some people. Let them thunder.

Ding Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I have a good understanding of the kind of ideology you said, and I have a deep understanding. I made my debut as a folk singer. In the past, when I was slowly turning red, I used to hear two voices. One is that you don't want me to be popular, I want to be popular. They won't like me because I'm vulgar. The other is that I can also be red. It's weird that you can be popular without singing pop music. Looks like I have to sing pop music. ”

"They're essentially the same. In the final analysis, as I said earlier, there are layers of Chinese people's aesthetics of pop music, and I don't say that this level is high and low, but like a straight line being cut into line segments. Some people dabble in more, have higher compatibility, and may have multiple levels. And some people may be more dedicated and only stay at a certain level. ”

"In such a situation, it is normal to have a rejection of other levels because of the inability to appreciate. But I think it's quite strange to have a sense of superiority, especially for listening to folk and rock, which is even stranger. As I just said, these two are very basic categories, and they are the first wave to come, and they are all experienced by everyone, and I don't know where the superiority is. ”

"And those who think that only singing pop songs can be popular, and singers at other levels can't be popular, which is also a very strange idea. Now there is no shortage of folk singers who are famous in the draft, and many folk songs are also popular. If they can be popular, it means that this level can still be popular, and there is a market. The reason why it can't be popular all the time is because there are too few really good singers and works. This is the disadvantage of being too basic, too ordinary, too beginner, so that it is more difficult to be excellent. ”

"It's even stranger if you don't want singers or singers to be popular. The birth of a good song requires a lot of investment, and the cost often starts at 100,000. And 100,000 profits, now the era of digital music is quite easy, put aside the previous record era, many people did not earn the 100,000 back and died. ”

"Singers also have to eat, if they can't be popular and can't make money all the time, they have no motivation to move forward. It's selfish to hope that they are not popular to show their taste. When the singer they like dies, not really dies, but quits, etc., these selfish people generally don't have the slightest regret, maybe even complain. Turning around, they immediately liked another singer again. ”

"I'm saying it more bluntly, maybe it's more extreme, and it will hurt some people's hearts, but I do think this kind of thinking is not advisable."

It's all the truth, but it's not good to extend it any further, Zang Luping took over the topic with a smile: "In fact, your existence has broken this strange idea of the niche circle to a certain extent. You are a typical singer from niche to popular, with a wide range of themes, I believe you have influenced the music aesthetics of a group of people, and also transformed the level of a group of people. ”

On the live barrage, countless people said: I am.

Ding Ning smiled: "Maybe I'll be hated because of this and put on the blacklist." ”

Zang Luping smiled and said, "That's definitely a minority." I have a data here, and our organizers did a survey before the award ceremony. The number is 5,000 people, and the location must be on our Hong Kong Island. And then do you know what the end result is? ”

Zang Luping didn't say what the investigation was, and Ding Ning was a little confused: "I don't know what the investigation is." So I don't know the result either. ”

Zang Luping said: "It's a survey about your songs and the songs you wrote. The conclusion is that 87% of these 5,000 people have heard songs you have written, or songs you sing. And 63% of these 87% have heard at least three of your songs, which shows that the public has a very high exposure to your songs and the evaluation is also very good. You know what I mean. ”

If this data is true, it is indeed not bad, which means that he is also popular on Hong Kong Island. Ding Ning grinned: "I know." ”

Zang Luping smiled: "Okay, I know you're embarrassed to say it yourself, so I'll say it for you." This survey reflects your popularity on Hong Kong Island, especially the "Legend of the Hungry Wolf", "The Postman" and "Undercurrent", which are arguably the most popular Cantonese songs in recent years. Did you hear it on the street when you came? ”

Ding Ning shook his head: "No, after I arrived on Hong Kong Island, I basically rehearsed in the gymnasium, and I didn't have much time to go out." ”

"Oh~" Zang Luping suddenly raised some decibels. Looking around, he said: "Friends at the scene, there is any one of the three songs I said just now on your mobile phone, please raise your arms and let Ding Ning see his popularity on our Hong Kong Island." ”

Pause. Outside the red carpet, the audience who were blocked by the railing was in an uproar, and many people scrambled to raise their hands to sign.

At this time, some elderly people were surprised, it turned out that these three songs have been very popular recently. It's actually written by this young man.,It's quite capable.。

"See." Zang Luping was very satisfied with the enthusiastic cooperation of the audience.

"Thank you all for your support." Ding Ning waved his hand to the audience.

On a whim. He made a flying kiss motion, and in an instant. The screams were deafening.

It was as if a group of bombers flew by in a dense manner, and the sound waves pierced the sky with a loud sound.

Zang Luping deliberately shuddered, and opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Don't scream, my ears are almost deaf!" ”

Ding Ning's fans shouted more fiercely.

When the screams subsided a little, Zang Luping smiled and said, "Your fans are so enthusiastic, they don't seem to know that you are already famous." ”

"Yes."

"Please."

"Ah!!h

Immediately all kinds of noises rang out on the field.

Seeing the fierce reaction of the fans, Zang Luping smiled and bowed to the audience: "I'm sorry, I'm talking too much, you just don't say what I just said." ”

"Alright, back to business." received a hint in the headset that the next group of stars was coming, and there was not much time left for the interview, so Zang Luping quickly pulled the topic back: "We just talked about the topic of Chinese pop music, and I still want to say a few more words here." ”

"As we all know, there are many categories of awards set up by foreign pop music awards, such as pop, R&B rhythm and blues, Dance/Electronic/dance music, rock rock, Jazz jazz, RAP rap, Country and so on. But our Chinese pop music awards ceremony is only divided into regions and languages, as well as performances and singing. It can't be divided again, because there are only a few red categories, and now it's basically pop, R&b, and electro/dance music that dominate the world, and the rest, rap and jazz, are more marginalized. ”

"As for folk and rock, there is no shortage of singers, and there are a lot of works, but in terms of the current number of excellent works, it is difficult to support a category. What about the countryside and so on, eh, what is the countryside? When Zang Luping said this, he deliberately looked at the audience, and the scene was naturally full of laughter.

When everyone was almost laughing, Zang Luping turned his head, looked at Ding Ning and continued: "I don't think this is a good phenomenon, what do you think, Ding Ning?" ”

Ding Ning said: "It doesn't necessarily have to be the same as abroad, after all, they are the root of the birth and development of pop music, and they are imported to us." Of course, on the other hand, it can be seen that our pop music has a lot of room for improvement. Our market has not yet developed, our listeners' aesthetics still have room for expansion, and the acceptance of many music genres needs a strong person to spread and open, and the future is full of opportunities. ”

"I guess you want to be another guy who is going to spread a certain category to the whole people, right?" Zang Luping took the opportunity to ask.

"Uh", Ding Ning groaned slightly, and said: "If I can, of course I hope to become such a person." But in fact, I didn't want to be such a person, and my hope is that everyone can enjoy all the music I make. ”

"Wow, that's a tougher goal." It is not easy for all of a person's works to be loved by the majority of people, and the difficulty is no less than promoting a certain category to the whole people.

However, Zang Luping is more interested in the topic he has extended than this difficult and ambitious goal: "If you have the opportunity to become the one who opens up a new world, which category would you most like to start with?" ”

During the questioning, he suddenly thought that Ding Ning had rap-style works, and he said: "I know your rap is good, "My Territory" is it, it integrates rap elements. ”

Ding Ning thought for a while and said, "How to say, rap is the same as rock, it was a relatively underground category at first. When he was going to move from the ground to the earth, there would inevitably be a division. As a result, there is the saying that real rock fake rock, real rap fake rap. To put it simply, a group of self-proclaimed rock fans don't regard pop rock as real rock. Rap is similar, at least in the domestic market, the more popular pop rap is not recognized by hardcore rap, that is, the most traditional and original rap lovers and singers. ”

"When you said that sentence just now, maybe someone had already made a 'cut' in front of the screen, and many rap artists had already raised their middle fingers in disdain. How to put it, I'm just a simple pop singer, my ballads are pop ballads, rock is mostly pop rock, and rap is definitely pop rap. ”

"For me, rap is just an element that can be used, and I will produce works that incorporate rap elements, but I have never thought about promoting rap to the whole people. Rap is a genre that requires a lot of talent, and to be honest, I don't have that talent. So, my goal can only be to make it sound good and acceptable to as many people as possible. Spoilers aside, my new album has a mix of rap hip-hop elements, but it's not hardcore rap. ”

Rap is indeed a very talented category, and the yellow race has no shortage of talent for speaking, but rap is combined, it is slightly inferior, and the pronunciation characteristics of Chinese are destined to be unsuitable for rap, which is also the reason why rap has been introduced to China for a long time, but it has not become mainstream so far.

However, Zang Luping still likes Ding Ning's pop rap style, he said: "I am very much looking forward to your pop rap works, and I am also looking forward to your new album." Can you tell you when it will be available for pre-sale? ”

"It's almost the end of the month." Ding Ning replied.

When his words landed, the scene immediately resounded with a cheerful cheer.

He released a new album, and for many of his live fans, that is the most anticipated thing.

"One last question." When the shouting subsided, Zang Luping continued: "Will your performance in the evening involve the tracks of the new album?" ”

"Yes." Ding Ning answered cleanly.

There is a new repertoire, and it must stick to Ding Ning's performance!

Whether it is in the scene or in front of the screen, at this moment, countless people have the same idea. (To be continued.) )
