Chapter 734: Reflection

PS: xiexieEhime, lack of moon bow, and the tip of the small master!

According to the current situation, in China, Feng Xiaoyun's popularity is higher than Han Geng's.

As the first Chinese to debut in South Korea, the aura of this title is limitless.

Once Han Geng relied on this title to become a pivotal heavy idol.

But now, this title is on Feng Xiaoyun's body.

Again, compared to the newly emerging Dark.L, SGWannaBe is the leading boy group of A.P company.

Therefore, Feng Xiaoyun's fame and status must not be ignored.

Because of this, his first solo Chinese solo album has also attracted strong attention in China.

Taihe Wheat Field Company showed great sincerity and worked this album.

Since the album hit the shelves on May 1, Feng Xiaoyun has been touring in China. He can be seen in many well-known programs and broadcasts.

The effect of the publicity is gratifying, and with the excellence of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", the results of this album from the beginning are amazing.

On the "Chinese Music Billboard", "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" is in the leading position with an absolute advantage.

All music websites have also put the song in a prominent recommendation position and promoted it emphatically.

Since the beginning of the new century, with the retirement of a generation of singers such as the four great kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as folk singers such as Na Ying and Lao Wolf in the mainland, China's pop music has been in a state of hesitation.

There have been no amazing excellent works for many years, which also makes fans hungry.

In 02, Eason Chan's song "Ten Years" dominated the scene, and Daolang's "The First Snow in 2002" also became the golden song of the year.

But to be honest, if these two songs are released five to ten years in advance, it is estimated that they will not even be able to make a wave.

That splendid era. It is the era of Andy Lau's "Forgetting Love Water", Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye", Jackie Chan's "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", Na Ying's "Seeing Flowers in the Fog", and Faye Wong's "A Woman Who Is Easy to Hurt".

At that time, there were too many good songs.

So much so that the aura of Chinese songs has been exhausted, so that today's singers and composers have nowhere to start.

Today's musicians, in addition to blindly learning the existing models of foreign countries, have lost their own characteristics.

I studied Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and tried to get closer to my own image, but I never studied how to shape my own unique pop music culture.

This is the current situation of Chinese musicians at this time.

This is also the fundamental reason why as soon as Jay Chou was born in Weishenme's previous life, he was shocked and finally grew into a representative of Chinese pop singers.

But I don't know what the reason is in this life, and I haven't seen this Chinese king until now.

Choi Jung-won once consulted with Mr. Wu's company. I haven't heard of the name Jay Chou either.

It seems that because of his rebirth, he really fanned this heavenly king.

Anyway, Feng Xiaoyun is really completely popular this time.

With the swan song of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", he is the most popular singer in China at this stage. Not one of them.

Although the popularity of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" did not surprise Cui Zhengyuan, he didn't expect it. What a shock this song has had on the Chinese pop music scene.

Compared to the current situation of a sluggish sound. The appearance of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" is like a clear spring washing away all the dust and haze.

The fresh air it brings has finally found an ideal habitat for Chinese fans, who have suffered from the poison in their ears.

The lyrics with a complete antique charm and a very popular arrangement are perfectly combined.

For the Chinese who grew up in Tang poetry and Song lyrics, this is their new music.

Those things I love you and you love him. Aren't you tired of singing? We're tired of listening.

Where is the way out for Chinese pop music? 》

The editor-in-chief's essay was published in a special issue of the well-known entertainment magazine "Contemporary Music Circle", which focused on Feng Xiaoyun's "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold".

"Honestly, I'm ashamed. He has been engaged in the promotion of popular music for many years, but he has never been satisfactory. For the future of pop music in China. As a worker buried in it, I am also very confused. ”

"Five to 10 years ago, we never had to worry about that. Because we have Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Faye Wong, Na Ying, Anita Mui, Gao Feng, Yuquan, Old Wolf and countless other excellent singers. At that time, excellent musical works emerged one after another, and almost every day brought new enjoyment to our ears. At that time, we never had any concept of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. Because in those days, we were the front, and our pop music culture was always at the top. ”

"So since when did our pop culture become the decadent it is today? There are many reasons for this, and if you really talk about it, you can't talk about it for a few days and nights. Although the editor is playing with words, such a large system project is obviously not within my ability. ”

"There are political reasons, economic reasons, and market reasons. Some can be said, some can't, so I won't talk about it. ”

"Today we will use a topic that can be discussed to talk about one of the reasons why Chinese pop music weishenme is in the current situation. This should be a reason, at least that's what I think. ”

"In the 80s, Anita Mui was singing "Woman Flower", in the 90s, Andy Lau was singing "Forget Love Water", and in 02, Mr. Eason Chan was singing "Ten Years". The song is a good song, a classic good song. But we should note that even though the time span is almost thirty years, there is little difference in the style of these songs. ”

"Thirty years, how many thirty years can there be in life. In today's ever-changing Shijie, what does it mean to be unchanged for 30 years? ”

"Let's compare in the same direction, because the topic revolves around this "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold". So the comparison object we chose is South Korea, where the author of this song, Mr. Choi Jung-won, lives. ”

"Thirty years ago, there was not even a concept of pop music in South Korea. At that time, what was popular in Korea? tort。 Many people may not know what kind of music it is, it feels very unfamiliar, right? ”

"Tort is a folk song unique to Korea. There is a market only in Korea, so it is an unheard of genre for us foreigners. ”

"At that time, in addition to tort, Hong Kong and Taiwan music was popular in Korea. Even European and American pop music can't enter the market, but it is our territory. ”

"However, our Korean counterparts are not satisfied with the status quo and have been striving to develop a pop culture industry with their own characteristics. While we are stagnating, Korean musicians have figured out a style of industry that suits them. ”

"While we were still cheering for Chinese-style folk songs, a number of new-age pop singers such as Fire Truck, HOT, Turbo, and Crystal Boy had emerged in Korea. Eventually, relying on these new pop singers, Hallyu finally became a popular phenomenon. ”

Here, I just want to ask all Chinese musicians. What have we been doing all these years? ”

"It's the same situation, another 10 years later, and we're still the same. However, our neighboring counterparts have begun to absorb our own unique culture and integrate it into the field of pop music. There were "Blue and White Porcelain" and "East Wind Break" in the past, and the existing "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold". When the Koreans occupy this road, what should our pop music do? ”

This special article of "Contemporary Song Circle" is like a rock shock, and it has awakened all Chinese who are interested and aspiring to pop music.

yes, what are we doing after all these years?

Will we be completely reduced to the dumping market of others after the advanced culture of a foreign country has absorbed the local elements that we are proud of?

At the same time, Mr. Liu Huan, the guest of the latest issue of "A Date with Luyu", also talked about Cui Zhengyuan in the interview.

"At the Spring Festival Gala the year before last, I was fortunate to get acquainted with Executive Cui. At that time, he had some creative things that needed to be used in my studio, so I saw first-hand the whole process of making music using computer software. ”

Thinking of the situation at that time, Liu Huan was still a little incredible.

"In my recording studio, I had a music synthesis software system that was the most advanced in the whole of Shijie. This is what Executive Director Cui said, and when he saw it at the time, he was also surprised. ”

"I didn't expect Teacher Liu Huan to keep up with the shijie trend." Here, Chen Luyu complimented.

Liu Huan was not happy, but said with emotion. "No, the installation of this software system at that time was recommended by a foreign friend. He said that in foreign countries, this thing is now used to synthesize music, so I just put it in style. To be honest, I didn't know how to use this software at the time, it was just a decoration there. ”

"Is that software expensive?" Chen Luyu asked.

In her mind, the price of the software should be very common, otherwise Liu Huan would not buy it.

Liu Huan stretched out two fingers and replied, "Two thousand dollars." ”

Chen Luyu couldn't help but speak, "No, after spending so much money, you bought a set of things that can't be used?" ”

Liu Huan spread his hands and said in a very embarrassed manner: "No way, I found out when I installed the software, it was all in English." And it's all very obscure technical terms. At that time, no one in China understood it. ”

"Then how is Mr. Choi Jung-won operating? Isn't it clumsy? Chen Luyu asked curiously.

On the contrary, Mr. Choi Jeong-won is very quick to use. Come to think of it, it takes more than three hours to make a song. Liu Huan recalled. (To be continued......)
