Chapter 838: Dong Chou's Music Ranking (21)
……
Who is playing the pipa ~ a song of the east wind breaking ~
The years peel off on the wall ~ see when I was a child ~ I still remember that we were all very young that year~
And now the sound of the piano is faint~I wait, you haven't heard it~
……
Who is playing the pipa ~ a song of the east wind breaking ~
Maple leaves will dye the story ~ I can see through the ending ~ I will lead you through the ancient road outside the fence~
The years of barren smoke and grass ~ even the breakup was silent ~ ……
The writer of this passage is in sorrow,
But I don't know who is playing a song called Dongfeng Po on the lute,
The lute song is long and miserable,
can't help but remind people of their childhood,
It's as if those two little guesses are right in front of you. ~Top Novel,www.
The sound of the piano is long,
The years are quiet,
In the blink of an eye,
Autumn is passing and spring is coming,
Spring comes over autumn,
The story of the two little guesses has been dyed with the yellow of the years with the maple leaves,
We walked the ancient road outside the fence together,
The years of barren smoke and vines,
Even the breakup was a silent silence.
Writing here, I don't know if Wenshan cried,
It is estimated that most of the people who understand are crying.
Since ancient times
The saddest thing is parting,
There is nothing more important than things and people.
But does anyone really understand these two things?
Where stories have happened in the past,
To this day,
Revisiting the old place,
How can it not cause that deep melancholy,
A sentence of revisiting the old land has made many people cry.
There is a revisit to the old land in Zhuxian, which makes people sigh so far.
After Xiao Fan was found to have used the Soul Eater Bead and returned to Dazhu Peak,
He is about to face the change and return to the Houshan bamboo forest,
The bamboo shadow is swaying, the bamboo waves are bursting, the past is like a tide,
This kind of revisiting the old place can't help but make people feel empathy when reading it.
This is not only the place where Xiaofan has been cutting bamboo since he was a child.
It's also a place where I was a childhood sweetheart with my sister,
If it's just such a revisit to the old place,
I won't deliberately mention it here,
Just when Xiao Fan's thoughts were flying,
Baguio suddenly appeared in the back mountain.
"You, how did you come here, it's too dangerous!"
"I don't care, I, I just want to see you."
"Idiot, you speak!"
"Sit down." "Wait!" Xiao Fan wiped the bamboo, "You sit down now!" ”
"You sit too."
"I'll sit down! What are you doing on the ground? ”
"Why are you so nice to me?"
"Even if all the treasures of the world were placed before my eyes,
It's not as good as the sleeve you wiped the bamboo for me. ”
How many years later, you look back.
Do you remember what someone said to you back then?
Xiaofan revisited the old place twice in total (the third time and the second part are not listed),
For the first time,
The second time is ten years later,
The first time I revisited the old place, my thoughts flowed
The second time, it was already a matter of time
The first time I was just melancholy,
The second time, I was teary-eyed.
……
After finishing the word,
Let's talk about the music again.
I don't know how many people have praised and even studied the words of "East Wind Break".
There are a lot of so-called appreciation on the Internet.
But you can hardly find anyone talking about this song.
The word Dongfeng Po can be said to be perfect to the extreme.
But I still have to say,
Everyone was a little overestimating Fang Wenshan's words.
And ignore the song,
Maybe even Wenshan himself overestimated.
Of course, that's not good. But it's true.
in other words
It is an overestimation of this impetuous fast food style of today's society as well as pop music.
For example,
If someone writes a poem about Li Bai's wine,
Do you think that's a great thing?
It doesn't count,
You won't even know about it.
It's a sad thing to have to face.
The box office of Fang Wenshan's self-directed movie just illustrates this point.
The word Dongfeng is indeed very good,
But it's better to say than to be drinking.
That's really unrealistic,
This example actually wants to illustrate one thing,
The success of Dongfeng Po,
It must still be attributed to the arrangement and the music.
As the carrier of the song, the words are naturally faced and studied by everyone for the first time.
In other words,
If you depart from this piece and the arrangement.
This poem will lie lonely in Wenshan's carrybook and is not enough for outsiders.
Dongfeng breaking,
The reason why perfection is so incomparable,
It is the perfect match between the tune and the arrangement system that is not lost to the lyrics in the slightest.
I have achieved the realm of 1+1 """ "2".
Before the song,
Would love to rap first.
It has been said that
Dongfeng Po can be described in eight words.
Sadness but not sadness, joy but not lewdness.
It is precisely because of these eight words,
Let the east wind break in a few years,
The overwhelming advantage is infinitely ahead of various Chinese style works in the later period.
When Jay Chou was singing this song,
At the beginning I used one word,
insipid
I guess someone has to laugh,
That's right, it's really bland.
These two words are not so easy to do.
A singer on stage,
I can't sing and cry,
The audience was amused.
It's teasing.
If a singer is on stage,
Singing faintly,
But the audience couldn't cry,
This is the god of songs.
Eason Chan has a song called "It's better not to see you for a long time" than to see it.
Infinitely close to that bland state.
Inside the blue and white porcelain,
Jay Chou has some timbre that deliberately imitates the transposition of opera.
It's refreshing.
Huo Yuanjia even had a flower cavity in it.
And the east wind breaks.
Now listening to the east wind and still sighing,
I don't know if Jay Chou did it on purpose or if it was purely a coincidence.
The whole song goes down,
Jay Chou's bland and infectious singing timbre is moving!
Jay's own voice is very calm,
Placid
The listener's heart is already turbulent.
Good singer,
Have fun.
Sometimes happy, sometimes too sad.
And the east wind is good to break,
Every second of Jay Chou's whole song,
all maintain a peaceful state of mind,
That faint sadness is naturally revealed, and it is still evocative.
Sadness but not sadness, joy but not lewdness.
It's really not that easy.
Let's talk about the tunes and arrangements.
It was mentioned earlier.
Dongfeng Po is a pentatonic type,
Palace, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu five tones
For the Western scale, it is
do-re-mi-so-la
Yes, there is no fa and xi
But we say that this should not be the standard of Chinese style,
The reason why Dongfeng broke became the standard,
Or is it because of the ancient rhythm that Jay really followed,
Jay Chou once played Chinese style live on the piano,
Having said something like this,
"These scales are more suitable for Chinese style according to such tunes"
It can be seen that he has studied the rhythm of classical Chinese music.
Instead of creating a zào blindly.
Looking at the whole song,
It's an antique tune.
Aged treatment,
What is worn,
That's nothing new in the world of antiques.
It's a special treatment that makes it look like an old thing.
This song is.
How did Jay Chou make it old?
The first is the pentatonic scale
The second is the ancient rhyme.
And then there is the system zuò.
Don't forget that the producer of this song is still Jay Chou.
The overall structure of this piece is as follows:
Intro A-B Interlude B Outro
In the arrangement,
The whole song begins with a piano entry,
A four-bar prelude played by the piano,
This intro melody is wavy.
As soon as it came up, it was endless, giving people a strong feeling of ancient Chinese style.
In the following singing, the arrangement has a touch of synth guitar.
The guitar keeps repeating a pattern,
The piano is still there.
The next phrase A is "a pot of wandering ......" here.
Start adding the drum kit,
The accent is very particular and should be a typical R&B rhythm.
This rhythm has never been interrupted,
This modern sense of intervention makes the whole song rich and innovative.
Then the performance of the guzheng begins, on the pentatonic scale. Comfortable!
The B-segment band configuration is basically the same as A.
The coordination of a drum kit, a guitar, a lute,
Modern classics in one.
Here comes the most crucial part.
The interlude part of the erhu is integrated,
Dominate the main theme.
If you only understand the classical Chinese style of this song,
Then you only understand 30%.
If you understand the song of the barren smoke and vines.
Then you understand 50%,
If you understand the lute of this song,
Then you understand 80%,
If you understand the erhu solo of this song,
You can really understand the song.
The next b' is about the same as a,
The pipa wheel fingers added to the back make people tremble.
The desolation of the bleak wind can't help but flatten,
As if in the barren smoke and vines,
But
We say,
The pipa breaking song pays attention to the rapid rhythm,
And it's layer after layer,
At this moment of breaking,
before it is integrated into the erhu,
After all, the pipa is just a charm,
Who will take on the great responsibility of artistic conception,
Only my big erhu is also!
The erhu with the interlude and coda is the most brilliant part of this song.
The whole song is drifting, lonely, sad,
is the real sustenance.
Can't help but make people clap fast!
Don't blow.
This song belongs to the type of the first time to become a god,
But
Jay Chou's early songs.
There are too many who have become gods too soon,
And in the long years,
can still maintain enough freshness in the single cycle,
The east wind is second to none,
Perfection to the extreme is the best annotation of this song,
Perfect word
Perfect song
Perfectly made zuò arrangement
Even the perfect MV
Coupled with the time test of more than ten years to this day,
The king of Chinese wind.
Undoubtedly!
……
Fang Yajun only listened to it once, and praised Du Xinghe in his heart for ranking this song in the top three. This song is well deserved.
After "East Wind Breaks", it finally came to the second place! - "Nunchuck" with a big explosion of rhythm! This song is also Du Xinghe's divine comedy that shocked and pushed Chen Xi before! He let it go to Fang Yajun, and it was stupid to listen to Fang Yajun directly!

In the nineties of the 20th century, the era of the Four Heavenly Kings kicked off.
The Hong Kong-Hong Kong Golden Melody Awards witnessed the glory of that decade,
Andy Lau's "Days Together" took the lead in winning the most popular male singer.
Jacky Cheung's "Love You More Every Day" also won the Golden Melody Gold Award,
Liming's "I'm Sorry I Love You" was also shortlisted for the top ten golden songs,
Aaron Kwok's "Should I Go Away Quietly" won the best newcomer.
In the next few years, the Four Heavenly Kings monopolized the Hong Kong-Hong Kong music scene, Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye" took the lead in entering the Taiwan-Bay music scene, and the Four Heavenly Kings began to really become popular in the Chinese music scene, and the advent of the era of the Four Heavenly Kings also announced the end of the era of the so-called "emperor superstar" of "Zhang and Tan". In fact, it is not difficult to see from these names that the so-called Emperor of Heaven includes the company's monopoly on various awards. All fully reflected the excessive commercial packaging at that time, which also laid a painful foreshadowing for the Hong Kong music scene 10 years later.
Since the 90s, the most impressive things in the mainland are various folk songs, "You at the Same Table", "Brothers Sleeping on the Top Bunk", and "Xiaofang". At the same time, a rock fire is slowly burning in the land of China. Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, and Zero Point represent the three major band forces. The three heroes of Magic Rock have become the idols of countless people, and of course rock and roll may be a little far away from pop music. Zheng Jun and Xu Wei are a little closer to the popularity, "Naked-Naked", "Cinderella", etc., still sound classics. At that time, the Taiwan-Bay music scene was Li Zongsheng's "Mortal Song", Zhou Huajian's "Let Me Be Happy, Let Me Worry", and Luo Dayou's "Tomorrow Will Be Better". In short, it was the last glory of the Chinese music scene. Unfortunately, it is only superficial.
End of the twentieth century. The four heavenly kings are not there. Excessive commercialization, boasting, monopoly, and lack of success have led to the decline of the Hong Kong-Hong Kong music scene. Mainland rock has died in the body, and the Chinese music scene is dead. All kinds of glamorous sounds, all kinds of fried cold rice. This superficial brilliance has finally come to an end, and it is time for change.
Nicholas Tse began to follow his own rebellious path at the end of the century, and he is the most resounding name of Hong Kong after the Four Heavenly Kings! Nicholas Tse, who began writing songs at the age of 16, finally signed a contract with Emperor and began the Nicholas Tse era. In 99, the Chinese album "Thank You for Your Love 1999". Popular in two and three places, the era of Nicholas Tse officially ended the era of the Four Heavenly Kings who monopolized the Chinese music scene for more than ten years. People are starting to look for something new. The Chinese music scene needs more technical and original talents, rather than commercial products that can be kings as long as they have a good skin and a good voice. Excessive packaging and commercialization have buried creative talents, but fortunately, Nicholas Tse's genes are not bad.
There was a god-like man in the West around the 90s. MJ, R&B seems to have become the mainstream of the West, and MJ's R&B style not only helped him become the king of Grammy R&B male singers, but also made him the king of world pop. Taiwan-Bay has come to the forefront in this regard, Du Dewei, Tao Zhe, and Haring have become pioneers in exploration, and the Chinese world has begun to explore R-Rhythm in the R&B world.
Two thousand years A.D.,
A singer in the Taiwan-Bay region debuted,
The debut album "Jay" was sung by Alpha's almost brainwashed TV and radio stations,
A new style of music that is localized is beginning to make more and more people want to stop.
Almost all the people in the circle have also begun to pay attention to one,
The boy who composes the music very neatly,
His name is Jay Chou.
The rich R&B style of the debut album made everyone's eyes shine,
but,
Do you think he's going to go down this path like this?
In 2001,
"Fantesi" was released,
Jay Chou's unique musical reform began,
rhythm
has become Jay Chou's whimsical and unique weapon,
r&b?
laugh
My music is not called R&B,
Please call me,
J-style music.
finally
The rhythm explosion of "Nunchuck" is here!
"The sign of the sick man of East Asia
I've kicked it away
Hum! ”
When talking about this song, let's first tell a story related to this song.
To make a long story short, at that time, Du Xinghe's cousin who loved Jay was only in the third year of junior high school, and he was still a junior high school monk, and the first time he heard the nunchuck should be half a year after the release of Fantesi, and there was no way for the small county town to lag, and old JAY fans also knew that Jay Chou's first album was only tentatively released in Taiwan. Nowhere else is it at all, the 2001 Golden Melody Award won the best album of the same name, and the first one won the best album, it is difficult to think about it or not. It was only after that that the release of Fantesi began to be in full swing. In the next six months, Jay Chou began to become popular, and nunchucks bore the brunt, of course, this popularity began in first- and second-tier cities, including Hong Kong and other places. The first time I heard nunchucks, to be honest, Du's cousin didn't appreciate it, he was a person with a good temper with Jay, and the first thing he liked must be that he couldn't open his mouth and love before the West Yuan. But he really didn't appreciate the nunchuck at first.
The first time he listened to it, he could only sigh that it was too noisy and funny. At that time, nunchucks were really red, but responsibly speaking, there were more jokes, and this song was a comic song. It has become a black dot forever, and it still is, but gold always shines, and tape is a magical thing. You've used it, and you know that it's quite troublesome to fast forward and rewind, and it's easy to reel, and the reel is the cylindrical magnet pillar on the player that sucks the tape out, and it's still stuck. You have to take it out, then smooth it out and roll it back in pencil. Or just roll it with a pencil to fast forward and rewind, so it's troublesome, most people hear from the beginning to the end, and then turn over and continue. The key is that in fact, whether the nunchuck was liked or ruined at that time basically depends on whether you have this song on the tape in your hand, and then the number of times you listen to this song. After many times, Du's cousin began to think the song was quite funny. After many more times, he began to feel that the arrangement was good, there were many highlights, and after falling in love, he felt that the rhythm exploded! His feeling is the same as most of the early fans, this song is really explosive for them!
What is Rhythm? To put it bluntly, rhythm is a kind of change, a regular or irregular phased change, in music, rhythm is the relationship between the length of the notes, and it is a phenomenon of the strength and length of the notes. Some people will ask if that beat is the rhythm. Actually, it can't be said that the beat is a unit that can be used to measure the rhythm of calculations. This short paragraph may be helpful for the following analysis.
Okay, now let's get down to business.
Let's talk about the words of this song first, in fact, there is nothing to say about the words of this song, use nunchucks, hum hahe. Although it has become a buzzword, it is more of a fun.
The song nunchucks was named nunchucks as early as in the demo, and Jay Chou named them nunchucks, which sang, use nunchucks, hum; I'm Jay Chou, huh. Jay Chou wrote this song to pay tribute to his idol Bruce Lee.
What Fang Wenshan got was a proposition composition, and his writing was still good, which was exactly the same as Jay Chou's whimsical interpretation, and it still makes people recall the sentence, "A cigarette I don't smoke, once it has been put away for many years, it has always been by my side." This taste is like the famous Internet buzzword of that era: with a cigarette, wander the world...... At that time, you knew how to pretend to be forced? At that time, my whole body trembled after reading this sentence. Every word will make people think. Then the lyrics of the whole song are like an exhibition of weapons, and those who are interested can count how many kinds of weapons there are.
Let's move on to the tune.
Here are a few questions to ask: What is the style of the song? Rap? Does the song have a melody? Is this song being sung? In other words, is the song sung or spoken? To answer these questions, we might as well go back to the basics, what is singing? That is, what is melody and how is it different from rhythm? (To be continued......) R527
