Chapter 612: Chinese Style
After the party with Han Boqi and others.
Wang Xie began to wonder what song to use next.
It has nothing to do with the title of "Father of Words", it is more that Wang Xie wants to officially start to really establish his status among musicians.
So how to lay it?
That's of course – chinoiserie!
But it's well known.
Earth Star jumped directly from the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty to the modern society of the Federation, so there is no concept of China for the time being.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, even if Wang Xie still calls this style "Chinese style", no one else can say anything that is not.
On Earth, he is the founder of this new style of music.
He can call it whatever he likes.
Wang Xie himself has a special affection for the style of "Chinese style".
In addition to the fact that it is a new and open-minded style, it is more of a seasonal movement brought to him by "Chinese style" songs.
In fact, there is no standard definition of "Chinese style" in academics, and different people have different opinions.
However, most people agree on nothing more than a few.
Chinese-style music mostly adopts the main theme of "Gong Tone Style", that is, the pentatonic style based on Gong Yin, and the names of the five tones are Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu.
The Chinese style makes extensive use of traditional musical instruments in the arrangement of music: such as the erhu, guzheng, flute, flute, pipa, etc.
The Chinese style of words pays attention to the conciseness, refinement and use of context, and uses ancient Chinese poems or legends in the subject matter, which is rich in traditional cultural elements.
Of course, the most important thing is the three ancient and three new proposed by Dong Chou, the originator of Chinese style that defines Chinese style and creates a new chapter of Chinese style.
That is, ancient words, ancient culture, ancient melodies, new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts.
However, Wang Xie himself believes that "Chinese style" cannot be regarded as a musical style, but more of a cultural phenomenon or cultural concept, or that the songs contain traditional classical cultural conceptions.
For example, "pentatonic style", in fact, the folk music of many countries, many pop music, and modern music use the pentatonic scale, and it cannot be said that the pentatonic scale is Chinese folk music, which is Chinese style.
For example, a large number of traditional musical instruments, opera, and folk music are used to sing, which is generally called the ancient style.
For example, the use of Chinese stories and ancient poems and other Chinese elements, this is called national style.
Even for example, the "Three Ancient and Three New" proposed by Dong Chou, but he only achieved perfect unity in songs such as "East Wind Breaking" and "Hair Like Snow".
Therefore, Wang Xie feels that Chinese style is a kind of artistic conception, and if it is not certain concepts together, it is Chinese.
Only when you hear it, you will subconsciously feel that this is Chinese style.
And as for whose song to choose?
Wang Xie almost didn't think about it, it must be Dong Chou, it can only be Dong Chou, and the only choice is Dong Chou.
In addition to the fact that he is the originator of Chinese style, more reason is that only Jay Chou's Chinese style sounds.

It's the right taste.
Or to put it another way.
If Jay Chou does not have the bonus brought by Chinese-style songs in his music career, then he can be regarded as a top singer and an excellent musician at most.
But with the Chinese-style Jay Chou, he is the real ceiling of the Chinese music scene.
This is also one of the reasons why Wang Xie chose "Chinese style" as a way to establish his position.
In the culturally barren place of Dixing, the new style of song "Chinese style" represents two words.
Invincibility!
However, when it came to choosing which song to choose, Wang Xie made a difficulty.
Because there are too many Chinese style classics in Jay Chou.
"The East Wind Breaks", "Hair Like Snow", "Blue and White Porcelain", "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", "Chrysanthemum Terrace", "Orchid Pavilion Preface", "Thousands of Miles Away", "Red Dust Inn", "Red Face Like Frost"...
Even songs such as "Dragon Fist", "General", and "Dao Ma Dan" can be regarded as Chinese style.
hastily calculated, there are dozens of songs available for Wang Xie to choose from.
How to choose is indeed a difficult question.
If this kind of thing can really get out, I guess other musicians will be mad.
Just when they were scratching their ears and cheeks for a song, Wang Xie was worried about choosing that song.
That's the difference between people.
Forehead.
The difference between an ordinary person and an ordinary person with a system.
So Wang Xie slowly started to subtract.
Remove a top score.
After all, you can't open it up as soon as it comes up, so "Blue and White Porcelain" definitely can't be chosen.
Remove some heresy.
After all, Chinese style was born for the first time, so it's better to be regular, so you can't ask for fast songs such as "Dragon Fist" and "General".
Exactly 30 minutes later.
Wang Xie looked at the "Lady" and "Dongfeng Break" left at the end, and was stunned.
He himself is actually more inclined to "Lady".
This is Dong Chou's first Chinese-style song, although it uses the arrangement of Western tunes, but the antique lyrics are written to indicate the official launch of "Chinese style".
To borrow the phrase of the "famous" well-known short, big tight teacher again.
"In 2000, I heard "Lady" for the first time on KTV, and when I saw the lyrics, I was shocked and thought what this thing was. Then I immediately listened to it 10 times in a row, and on the one hand, I was amazed that the lyrics could be written like this, and on the other hand, I was amazed by the seamless relationship between the lyrics and songs. ”
This is also the reason why Wang Xie is hesitant.
Because for ordinary people, this "Lady" is a little too weird, and it has an obvious experimental nature.
If it's a regular competition or release, it doesn't matter if you take it out.
But the opponent is Han Boqi, and the other party's buffs are stacked a lot, and he came up with such a song that is not particularly normal, and it is estimated that the odds of winning are not great.
Although he said that he didn't particularly care about the title of [Father of Words].
But it's much better to get it than not to get it.
He doesn't covet the title of "Father of Words", he just wants people to call him "Dad".
What man doesn't want someone else to call him "Daddy"?!
So when Wang Xie reluctantly crossed out "Lady", only "East Wind Breaking" was left on the paper.
Wang Xie let out a sigh of relief.
"East Wind Breaking" is also very good.
If "Lady" is Dong Chou's first Chinese style, then "East Wind Breaking" is Dong Chou's first Chinese style.
This song does mark that "Chinese style" has officially become a new musical style.
For example, the pentatonic form, Chinese elements, and the three ancient and three new ones mentioned above.
can find a correspondence in this song.
If you choose the song, you're 90% done.
Copy... It won't take more than a few minutes to write a song.
It's just time to finalize who will sing.
This song "East Wind Breaking" is actually not very difficult to sing, and even all the singers he knows can sing it, regardless of gender.
As long as you can sing along with the lyrics.
However, Wang Xie decided this time that he would sing this song himself.
This is the first "Chinese style" song on the earth, and he is reluctant to give it to others.
