Chapter 238: Shocking Huaxia Style
PS: Add a more chapter for the "White Don't Chop" classmates, and there is a third update at nine o'clock! Thank you for your continued support, I love you to death......
In these years when the record market is extremely shrinking, being able to release a record can already be said to be a proof of the strength of a singer, which was unthinkable before.
In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, as long as you have a little strength, releasing a record is nothing at all, and there are two or three records a year for those who are powerful, and there are records coming out every year, if there is no record, it can only mean that the singer is lazy, and will even be criticized by the outside world for being unprofessional.
But after 2000, especially after 2010, the global record market has shrunk significantly, especially in China, due to the rampant piracy, a singer can release a record is enough to show that the singer is very powerful. As for how often it will be issued, it doesn't matter anymore, one a year, one every two or three years, or even four or five years to sharpen a sword. In addition to this, there are talent singers who have never released a record after signing with a record label!
However, this kind of singer who has not released a record is still called a "singer".
Comparing before and after, it can't be simply said that the current singers are N grades worse than the singers of the past, but it is a fact that the gold content has dropped again and again.
For singers, both the future and the money are bleak.
However, even in this embarrassing situation, every singer is still struggling to release a record and never gives up.
One is to prove your strength. In the music world, there is no explicit rule on which singer has a high status and which singer has a low status, but an invisible distinguishing criterion still exists, and this criterion is achievement. The singers who came out of the wild road had a lower status than the singers sent out by the academy, and the singers who sold well on the records had a higher status than the singers who sold poorly. Singers who have released records have a higher status than singers who have not released records, which is not only recognized by industry insiders, but even the outside world thinks so, unless you are so beautiful that you look against the sky.
The second is for the future.
In the wave of the information age, rapping is for interest and art, who believes it? Look at those talent singers who swore during the competition that they were for their hobbies and what dreams they dreamed of. And then there is a show with a large number of viewers in tears, who is not watching the joke?
There are such cases, but they are rarer than rare animals, and most of them are still going for the future.
The future here is twofold: career and money.
Releasing records is no longer the purpose of singers to make money, they are just for fame. With fame, they can make money by walking through walks and advertising endorsements. Of course, it's also for life. A singer with a bit of strength, waiting for more records and enough songs. Then you can hold concerts to make money, but the shrinking record market has made singers who have the courage to hold concerts more and more rare.
So in the past few years, the majority of the audience has seen countless singers active on the TV screen, or participating in celebrations and singing, or participating in variety shows, or directly serving as guests of variety shows, judges of talent shows, etc., some singers are still active in the music scene, and some singers don't know where they came from. You have to be a mother to know who these singers are, either singers who have been out of gas for five or six years, or who have been out of gas for more than ten years. There are even singers who have been out of fashion for twenty or thirty years.
Many people are sighing: "There are so many famous singers like dogs!" ”
Of course, there are also many people who gloat and say: "Happy Puben!" How cold and noble it used to be, it turned out to be this face, this is for art? "They're disgusted by the out-of-the-box singers who keep saying it's for art, but keep jumping up and down on the TV screen.
Jay Sun has been in the limelight for more than ten years, but he has not been in the limelight for the past two years. Gradually, they fell into this dilemma.
If nothing else, he can continue to be in the music industry for a few years with the large number of fans he has accumulated, but then he will become a veteran musician in the industry who does not produce records.
In the past few years, although Jay Sun has released records, he can still make money. But compared to holding concerts, advertising endorsements, and making movies, the money for releasing records is not enough for his own expenses. Therefore, Jay Sun began to appear in movies constantly, and everyone knew that the focus of his work was shifting.
Jay Sun once boasted that he would sing until he was eighty years old when he held a concert, but let alone an outsider, even he himself didn't believe it. Because it takes four or five years to fry cold rice, it stinks after forty or fifty years!
The shrinking record market, but the frequent emergence of various singing contestants, has led to the emergence of newcomers, intensified competition, and Jay Sun's decline in the music scene has become more and more obvious.
If you want to say that it is more prominent in the Chinese music scene, there is only Lin Yuner, a super dark horse, who sold the first record under the tutelage of Stephen Zhao.
Now, whether the "Blue and White Porcelain" created by the veteran superstar Jay Sun and Stephen Zhao can break the sluggish situation, everyone present will wait and see.
"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white strokes,
The peony depicted on the bottle is just as good as your first load.
Ran Ran Sandalwood through the window I know,
……
……”
With the melodious and graceful melody sounding, those who are waiting for it are immediately stunned!
Under the beautiful melody, in the elegant lyrics, the tactful and delicate parting sorrow is hidden subtle and charming, as if the green olives can be slowly reminiscent in the mouth, and a hazy Jiangnan ink landscape painting scroll slowly unfolds in everyone's minds, antique, evocative, and fragrant.
"This ...... This ......" Liu Xiangxiang, a reporter from "Huaxia Music Daily", was so shocked that her voice began to tremble, and after half a ring, the whole person became lost and depressed, and muttered unconsciously: "Blue and white porcelain? Oh my God, how could there be such a strong Chinese-style pop song? Is this still a pop song? ”
Kang Wenbin, a reporter from "Music World Daily" next to him, took over the words and sighed: "This is a pop song, but it is a pop song born from a perfect combination of rich Chinese culture, and it is a pop song that really belongs to China. This song is well deserved, and he is not wrong at all! ”
Yuan Ke, a reporter from "Magic City Week", said with a fascinated face: "Although I don't know anything about music. But just listening to this song, I felt the rich Chinese culture, I don't believe it if it's not the Chinese style, I must give 32 likes to Xing Ye and Jay Sun when I go back, one is well created and the other is sung well. A golden partner! ”
Pop songs, like many modern things, are imported from Western culture, and for a long time they could only rely on the snort of Western culture.
Although it is said to have done a very successful job in Chineseization, it is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and paint the bones, which seems to be in line with Chinese culture, but it is still a typical Western style in its bones.
"Blue and White Porcelain" is different, from the lyrics to the song, to the singing. All the elements in it have a strong Chinese culture, and for the first time, pop songs have been Chineseized in the true sense.
As reporters of professional music newspapers, Liu Xiangxiang and Kang Wenbin's understanding of music is naturally professional, and they naturally felt the great significance of "Blue and White Porcelain" for today's Chinese music scene for the first time. That's why they say that the Chinese style is well-deserved.
As for other reporters who are not laymen, although they can't comment on "Blue and White Porcelain" from a professional point of view, they all have ears. has their own cognition and discernment ability, and there is no problem in hearing the unique elements of China in "Blue and White Porcelain".
Chinese style. "Blue and White Porcelain" is well deserved!
“……
Such as the hand-me-down blue and white porcelain is beautiful,
You've got a smile on your face! ”
When the last word "meaning" was sung by Jay Sun's voice, it suddenly gave people a lingering sound, and the scene was quiet for a whole minute, because everyone was unwilling to wake up from the antique artistic conception created by "Blue and White Porcelain".
"Encore!" A reporter suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
The others glared at him at first. Annoyed he shattered their reverie, but the next moment they all became excited, and they also raised their hands and shouted, "Encore! Encore! Encore ......"
The atmosphere suddenly became hot, and the surging enthusiasm was stirring. It's like a concert.
"Encore" is a transliteration of the French "Encore", which means another song, which is usually only shouted by crazy fans when the popular superstar has a concert, many kings and queens have not enjoyed this kind of treatment, Jay Sun has enjoyed it, but it was a long time ago.
Jay Sun never expected that it was now the press conference, and less than 100 people came to attend, and he actually enjoyed such a treatment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he could only cry and laugh, and then sighed in his heart: "Stephen Zhao, where did you come from?" ”
The reporter who questioned the "Chinese style" before, although he is still sitting here with a cheeky face, his face has been suffocated red, and he is also sitting on pins and needles. He knew that he had lost face and lost his hair this time, and he would definitely become the laughing stock of insiders after today, and he couldn't help but be annoyed: "I've always heard people say that no one should question Zhao Xingchi, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be true, this is really cheap!" Perhaps, I should consciously write a resignation report when I go back? ”
Jay Sun finally responded to their call for "encore", and said loudly with a smile: "Everyone is so enthusiastic, I can't let everyone down, as long as "Blue and White Porcelain" is listed, everyone will support the genuine version." Below, let me sing another Chinese style song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" for you, I also hope you can like it. ”
"Your tears are weak and wounded.
The miserable white moon bends and bends, hooking the past.
The night was so long that it condensed into frost.
Who is in the attic, icy despair.
……”
You don't have to finish listening to the song, just listening to the beginning, including the reporter, everyone present was shocked, couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked at Jay Sun with a complicated expression, looked at Zhao Xingchi sitting on the stage, and then quietly listened to Jay Sun's singing, savoring the poignant and blurry "Chrysanthemum Terrace".
All of a sudden, the scene fell silent again! (To be continued......)
