Chapter 400: Ballad Savior
This is called 'feelings'.
It is said that human beings are a kind of nostalgic creatures, and time is constantly rolling, and when they enter the next stage, they are forced to give up or lose a lot of things.
But until a certain moment is brought up again, when the past buried in the depths is opened again, at this time, people will be nostalgic.
Nostalgia for something that was once there, but is not the same now.
Maybe "Childhood" is to grasp this mentality of people.
Some industry professionals analyzed.
But there is no doubt that the explosion of "Childhood" also made the outside world more aware of YOYI's creative ability and ability to guide popularity from a more indirect perspective.
Moreover, YOYI actually plays folk songs?
This makes many people have a question mark in their hearts.
As a contemporary music genre that is highly sought after by literary and artistic youth, folk music has always had a place in the Chinese music scene because of its fresh, elegant and soothing characteristics.
Or to put it another way, in the severity of the audience and loyal listeners of the ballad, the ballad is the highest.
Once in China, there was also a trend of folk songs, at that time, it was simply a white shirt acoustic guitar everywhere, and she was on campus.
Just like hip-hop and electronic music now, folk music has had its glory days, although this trend has eased somewhat due to the explosion of more new things and the gradual loss of freshness in the mixed circle.
And the sudden popularity of "Childhood" is tantamount to pushing this representative music into people's eyes in this New Year.
A few days later, there are only a few last moments left before the end of the Spring Festival holiday.
At this time, the sales volume of the entire online digital single of "Childhood" has reached 15 million copies of the air horror!
What is this concept? Even if the sales price of a single song is not high, the price of "Childhood" is 3 yuan.
In mainland China alone, the sales of digital ED singles have reached 45 million, nearly 50 million!
This is already more than the sales of YOYI's best-selling electronic music single in mainland China.
..... Of course, this is without counting global sales.
After all, due to the particularity of "Childhood" as a folk song, the response of this song in the overseas market is not very good, and it can only be said that with YOYI's international popularity, it has been a little blessed, and it is in a posture of not being up or down, and not being distempered.
Of course, the form is different, and the audience is also different, maybe part of the reason for the explosion of "Childhood" is because of the story.
At this time, almost the whole network began to discuss various topics related to "Childhood".
Especially Zhihu, as always, various professional data parties have appeared, and they have carried out a serious analysis.
For example, the topic of Zhihu's temporary hot search is: [Why are folk songs now becoming mainstream? 】
Answered by: John Beglinn (a miserable music critic. )
Why are ballads now mainstream? In fact, broadly speaking, 90% of what is popular on the market today is not a real ballad...
First of all, if you have listened to the songs of Song Ye, Chen Hongyu (currently skeptical?), Brother B (also a rock and roll singer), and Dylan abroad, then you will find that the songs that are currently popular are all similar to folk songs, but the words do not have the level of "I can't always be waiting waiting on you" or "The drama and the police read the psalms again".
This has a lot to do with the current rise of mourning culture, in recent years, everyone has eaten this set, young people feel that this kind of music is "very literary" and begin to love folk songs, but they lack the ability to discriminate.
How many people's impression of folk songs is stuck in the stage of 'acoustic guitar', 'white shirt', 'that she'?
People even have vague definitions, which makes all kinds of stinky fish and shrimp appear in the market, and then pseudo-"ballads" appear... Since then, folk songs have gradually evolved into synonymous with "vulgarity"...
Since then, the field of Chinese folk songs has been full of sorrow.
At the same time, it seems to me that they wrap their "works" in words that seem deep but actually don't make sense.
It's just a bunch of fake folk songs dressed in folk skin, and it's just a big hit.
In my eyes, folk songs must have true feelings, thoughts, and souls. Instead of piling up rhetoric, it is an impetuous product that conforms to the trend.
It should be the same as poetry, with a soul and a story that belongs to what you want to tell, instead of Lao Tzu wearing a white shirt, Lao Tzu loves her a lot, what the hell.
But when it comes to the appearance of "Childhood", at this time I saw a glimmer of Chinese folk songs, really, I never thought that one day I would see this scene in an electronic music producer, written by a hundred DJs.... Or it can be said that a real ballad was sung.
There is no doubt that there is no useless accumulation of words in the overall lyrics of this song, and all that people can hear is the story to be told in it, which is a simple past, but it is also intriguing.
This is how much I love her, although I don't have an acoustic guitar, I don't have a white shirt, I use a DJ player, I can grow up with you.
Perhaps this is the confession given by YOYI.
There is no doubt that in this impetuous era, the appearance of "Childhood" seems to me to be like a shot in the arm, which briefly saved this smoky circle played by people who played with tickets.
A ballad ephemeral savior? I have to admit that this thing is really an out-and-out talent.
Any culture that becomes mainstream symbolizes the emergence of dross.....
.....
This is Zhihu, the emergence of a problem, widely sought after and praised by people.
At this moment, Yangcheng, among the Tang family.
Tang Youyi silently looked at the information about himself on the Internet, but he didn't say a word.
"Recently, a lot of people have said that you don't do your job." Tang Youyan complained on the side.
"It's okay, I won't put too much effort into the ballads, the main focus is still biased towards the original." Tang Youyi replied, he didn't feel anything.
Maybe when he first debuted, the single became popular and the continuous discussion of the work increased, which made him very happy, but now, he is used to it.
"Have you booked your ticket?" Tang Youyi asked suddenly.
"It's booked." It was Wang Yanran who answered, and said with a smile: "We booked a ticket to go back the day after tomorrow." ”
"Happy times always go by so quickly." Tang Youyi sighed sadly.
He has lived a very fulfilling life this year, it has been two spring and autumn years since he came to this world, and it seems like time in the blink of an eye.
But compared to the loneliness and celibacy of the previous year, the situation has changed a lot.
But that sense of belonging has also been truly found.
"Then I'll have to go back and face the busyness."
