Chapter 15 Exploring Music
After four hours of fierce battle, the first half of the semi-final came to an end, and the first 25 players all finished performing.
At this time, the highest score on the field has been replaced by Ni Zhen, an original innovator launched by Arrow Target Records.
shocked the audience with a rock song full of "free and easy", and when Ni Zhen took off his baseball cap to close the field, he got a super high score of 485 points.
ranked second and third, still He Huimin's 467 points and Wu Zhilong's 462 points.
As of halftime, the tenth-ranked singer only scored 406 points.
Such a result is ironclad and will not make it to the finals.
Unless the 25 singers in the back sleepwalk collectively.
Obviously, this is impossible, because several of the singers who are guaranteed by the four major players only played in the second half of the game.
The intensifying atmosphere was frozen in the moment of intermission.
With the director's order, the battle of No. 1 Shed has come to an end temporarily.
The singers, judges, and listeners were given an hour and a half for dinner to recuperate.
By half-past seven, the second half of the battle will start on time.
During this period, Lin Jianguo took Chen Hua and found Du Xinghe and Xu Nuo.
The four of them had dinner at a tea restaurant next to the Fuwan Bandstand.
During the meal, Chen Hua and Du Xinghe Haohao discussed the idea of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream".
Du Xinghe told Chen Hua that the original intention of creating this song was not to use "Bao Qingtian" as the ending song, but to deliberately make such a song to experiment with classical Chinese culture and modern pop music, and see if it can form a new style, so as to stimulate the increasingly uncreative pop music scene.
It's like throwing a pebble into a lake, and as long as it can stir up a ripple, his goal will be achieved.
After hearing Du Xinghe's statement, not only Chen Hua, but even Lin Jianguo and Xu Nuo, who didn't know much about it, were shocked by Du Xinghe's pioneering spirit and talent!
Du Shan's son is obviously more thoughtful than his father! Dare to do it more!
After that, Lin Jianguo sent Xu Nuo back to the company to rest and recuperate.
Du Xinghe and Chen Hua changed cafes and continued to talk about their music.
found that Chen Hua, a mature lady who is as cold as Anita Mui and looks like Xiao Song Jia, is a woman who understands music very well, and Du Xinghe is very energetic.
As the first music director of Huashi Hongyan, Chen Hua usually feels very cold, but in fact, her appearance is sweet.
Her skin is extremely delicate and fair, not worse than a 25-year-old woman, and even more delicate.
Time seemed to have only left a few traces in the quiet eyes behind Chen Hua's black-framed eyes.
But this trace is by no means a chaotic impurity, but an intellectual charm that washes away the lead, not charming, but extremely feminine.
Du Xinghe saw Chen Hua wearing a red tube skirt for the first time, and thought that the mature little Song Jia had also crossed over with him.
However, when he came into contact, he found that this woman's personality was quite cold, probably because she had been cold for too long.
In Du Xinghe's remaining memories, there are memories of his father and Lin Jianguo joking with Chen Hua, and he knows that this woman is a 36-year-old celibate.
Only when talking about music, Chen Hua's eyes will exude enthusiasm, and that kind of attitude of devotion makes Du Xinghe very eager to talk.
In fact, after coming to Shijie for so long, Du Xinghe has formed a lot of his own opinions on the pop music scene here, but he has not communicated with others, and he can't say whether his judgment of the pop music scene here is accurate.
Now that he has the opportunity to communicate with a veteran musician like Chen Hua, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to learn and improve.
In the café, drinking bitter coffee, Chen Hua gave the same answer as Du Xinghe in response to Du Xinghe's criticism of the increasing lack of creativity and enthusiasm of mainstream musicians.
She also feels that most musicians are mechanically creating so-called best-selling songs and pop songs, which greatly overdraws the universal consumption power of the pop music scene.
In the face of huge commercial temptations, too few people can pursue their ideals from beginning to end like Du Shan, without going along with the general trend.
Sooner or later, the market will become saturated and eventually decline.
When the time comes, new industry leaders will be needed to create new horizons.
Now what Du Xinghe has done is to integrate classical Chinese style into pop music, which in Chen Hua's view, is so meaningful.
After hearing Chen Hua's statement, Du Xinghe strengthened his judgment on this shijie.
Although after the Xinhai Revolution, Shijie here has undergone earth-shaking changes, but thousands of years of historical and cultural deposition have not fundamentally changed the traditional spirit and essence integrated into the bones of the Chinese.
Music, a cultural form that sprouts in people's hearts and is closely related to people's souls, has naturally not deviated too much.
Grasping this, Du Xinghe has more confidence in the popular song "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" launched by himself with Chinese style as the core.
In fact, throughout the development history of modern pop music in the past 100 years, the theme of Chinese style has always run through the development of Chinese pop music.
This point has been studied in depth by Du Xinghe as early as when he was studying at the Central Conservatory of Music.
Whether it is the jazz pop music based on Jiangsu and Zhejiang minor tunes in old Shanghai in the early years, or the Hong Kong pop music of Gu Jiahui, Li Xiaotian and others in the seventies and eighties that integrated the rhythm of Cantonese opera, or even the modern Taiwanese folk song movement pioneered by Yang Xian, they are all based on the folk music with a strong Chinese style, which finally laid the foundation for the early styles of various schools.
Du Xinghe has found such a rule, Chinese pop music, every stage of development, starts with the trend of "Chinese style", and after a certain stage falls into a low ebb, some musicians pick up this theme again, and open a new chapter in another stage.
It's like the reincarnation of fate, it's magical.
The reason why "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" can sell well in the last shijie is that it has caught up with the good times, and Chinese pop music is in a period of transformation.
It's a pity that this style didn't last long, because of excessive consumption, without digging deeper, and was finally eliminated.
When waiting for the "Chinese style" to reincarnate nirvana again, it will be Jay Chou's birth.
Now Shijie here seems to be showing this kind of reincarnation.
Determined that the possibility of "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" being a big hit was very high, Du Xinghe asked Chen Hua to have Yun Shijie's singer sing this song.
He only sold the film and television broadcast rights of this song to Huashi Hongyan, and the other copyrights are still controlled by Yun Shijie.
"Are you sure? I paid 200,000 yuan to buy out this song with all the copyrights, and you didn't sell it? ”
The figure proposed by Chen Hua is already outrageously high in the industry.
