Chapter 146: Blue and White Porcelain Without Borders
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
To quote Gao Xiaosong again, this guy said that Chinese are not suitable for songs, and when the Chinese music scene is the most popular, it is actually when he buys a large number of songs from Japan to fill in the lyrics by himself. Actually...... That's right.
But there are many people who are already angry just by hearing this kind of rhetoric, they stood up and slapped Gao Xiaosong in the face with a practical example, this person is Jay Chou.
Jay Chou is really powerful, no matter what you say, Jay Chou is amazing, not great. For a period of time after 2oo5, the singers of the entire Chinese music scene, if your title song wasn't Jay Chou's song, then your album wouldn't be able to sell at all! Well, that's an exaggeration, but by and large, it's a fact!
The Chinese music scene has ushered in the last false prosperity since about 2oooo, and the content of the prosperity is similar to the singer war in the Japanese music scene today, Stefanie Sun, Xiao Yaxuan, Jolin Tsai, Liang Jingru and others dominated the Chinese music scene during this time, and after that, it was Jay Chou's one-man era. It can even be said that Jay Chou alone carried the entire Chinese era after 2ooo years and the singer gradually faded out.
Such a first-class genius, if in a mature and complete market, may be able to achieve an unparalleled record. But the reality is that he can only be an immortal king in that deformed market.
When the market gradually takes shape, there will naturally be enough good singers and songwriters to come out, but after the market is destroyed, Jay Chou will be the last king forever.
In Jay Chou's Chinese style, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" should be the most "Chinese", not only because of Fang Wenshan's amazing lyrics, but also because the song can be composed with folk music instruments throughout the whole process.
This song has actually been practiced by Zhou Xiao for a long, long time, although this song is not difficult. But in the end, he is only a person who has only debuted two singles, has sung more than a dozen songs, and has experienced all Japanese music, it is difficult for him to quickly adapt and sing that strong Chinese style, and he himself locked himself in the recording studio for more than two days before finally walking out of the recording studio with being's teacher and completing the recording of the song. In fact, in the past two days, Zhou Xiao has not only been recording CDs, but more often than not, he is studying singing with this teacher who also does not know what Chinese style is. Studying how to sing Chinese style and Chinese flavor is what he did the most in the two-day recording studio.
And the harvest is also very big, after the song recording is completed, Zhou Xiao can better grasp the live singing method of this song, even the teacher who was invited to be was completely in love with the Chinese style, which was "created zĂ o" by Zhou Xiao, and went directly to the musical instrument store to buy an erhu and squeaked it up after leaving the shed......
And now, standing in the square in front of Kogenji Station. He was finally going to sing this song in front of people for the first time.
Li Xuejiao's dulcimer sounded, compared with Jay Chou's version, the arrangement and orchestration of this version have some differences. In general, I changed a few musical instruments, and there was a hint of Japanese music, but overall, I could still hear the Chinese flavor at once.
Zhou Xiao let out a sigh of relief. Holding the microphone and singing.
"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white strokes...... The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup......"
Of course, unsurprisingly, almost no one understands.
Yes. It's just that almost but not completely no one can understand, except for Zhou Xiao and the girls behind Zhou Xiao, he can clearly see that the eyes of a few obviously travelers on the side of the square immediately lit up.
"Yes, that's right, I did sing Chinese, and I sang much clearer than Jay Chou's guy, how about it, this lyrics...... It's beautiful, isn't it? Zhou Xiao looked at the few tourists who knew Chinese, and thought interestingly in his heart.
Of course, at the same time, his singing did not stop.
"Ran Ran Sandalwood knows what is going on through the window...... The pen on the rice paper is half set aside so far......"
Except for these few people, no one can understand what Zhou Xiao is singing, but the music is ...... The lyrics and language really play a small part...... Otherwise, how could there be so many people who like foreign songs when they don't know a foreign language......
The quality of a song does not depend on the beauty of the lyrics first, the most important thing first, of course, is whether it is good or not, fortunately, this "Blue and White Porcelain" is absolutely good enough.
The young man's clear voice sang a melody that was supposed to appear 6 years later, which was actually very classic and beautiful, and under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people outside the Gaoyuanji station, a rather beautiful picture was formed.
Although the gentle singing was only a few minutes, even the three people in front of the monitor were already intoxicated, and their hands in front of the camera were slowly beating the beat, intoxicated by the melody brought by Zhou Xiao.
Finally, after the song was played, Zhou Xiao, who had finished singing the last lyrics, moved slightly to the side, and bowed slightly to the onlookers in front of him.
"Papapapa......" There was applause in the square, and almost all the onlookers were sincerely appreciating the performance of Zhou Xiao and the women's twelve orchestra behind him.
Zhou Xiao turned around and gently pulled out Li Xuejiao, the girl he had recruited from China, from the dulcimer, led her to the front of the person, and bowed deeply again with the girls behind him. And as he bowed, the applause in the square was louder again.
"Thank you, everyone......" Zhou Xiao, who straightened up, took the microphone and said: "What we recorded just now is the content of the title program that I will broadcast on Wednesday night and Thursday early morning in two weeks, these girls around me are from the Chinese folk music orchestra "Women's Twelve Orchestras", if you think my performance with them today is good, please be sure to watch "Zhou Xiao's Fast Flickering Journey" two weeks later, and thank you for your support to us. â
The show ended here, and after arranging the follow-up finishing touches on the spot, Zhou Xiao returned to the monitor where the black mayonnaise and Aoi Miyazaki were on the side of the square with a few cameras.
"Papapapa......" Zhou Xiao heard applause as soon as he entered the room, and it was not just the three guests standing in the room who applauded, he now, the entire crew has now gathered together, and everyone is applauding for this wonderful show created by Zhou Xiao.
The same applause is not only resounded at the recording site of the program, when the second episode of the program is broadcast to the end, accompanied by the applause in the TV, many viewers who are in front of the TV, may also burst into applause, and there are some stores that are open all night, and they just turn on the TV to watch this episode of the program, and they are quiet from the middle of the program, and almost all the customers and clerks who are watching what is happening on the TV applaud.
In fact, a flash mob, in the eyes of people thirteen years later, is probably very ordinary, at least there will be no surprises or fanatical scenes, but now in 2oo1, the flash mob action or performance art has not yet been revealed, and, compared with the flash mob that has just been revealed, what Zhou Xiao is doing now is a very professional and complete flash mob performance!
At first, the flash mob was just a group of forum users, tacitly gathered together, and did some strange and fun things, and it was not until a while later that the flash mob evolved into a performance, and from ordinary performances to professional performances, it was another layer of evolution, as for what Zhou Xiao is making now, the professional is not just a singer and a folk music group, but a whole program team! Every few cameras and every shot are edited professionally!
It can be said that what Zhou Xiao presented to everyone from the beginning was the sense of surprise brought by the flash mob movement in a mature state more than ten years later! And this is Zhou Xiao's biggest reliance on this title show.
In the end, when this episode of the program was broadcast, the attention of the whole of Japan was once again focused on Zhou Xiao, and the surprise he brought to people was not over. (To be continued!)
