Chapter 201: Subverting the Folk Style of the Chinese Music Scene
If it weren't for Emperor Yin's mention of the name "Xinsu" on Weibo, many people would have even forgotten the word "Xinsu".
In fact, most netizens do not know Xinsu, but even if they don't know Xinsu, they all remember the song "365 Days of Thinking of You".
A few months ago, "365 Days of Thinking of You" sung by Chen Zhi, who was originally a little transparent singer, as the theme song of "Temptation to Go Home", was released on the Internet and Yunyun, and it directly hit the first place on the new song list.
In addition to the fact that singer Chen Zhi's voice is very compatible with this song, the main reason for this achievement is that the lyrics of the song "365 Days of Thinking of You" can be called the peak.
In terms of song production alone, especially the level of arrangement, this song can almost be compared to the ceiling of lyrical pop in today's Chinese music scene!
At least when Emperor Yin was talking about this song at that time, he had already given a very high evaluation.
The song is very invincible.
So now, when Emperor Yin mentioned the original creator of "365 Days of Thinking of You" on Weibo, netizens quickly reacted.
"365 Days of Thinking of You" is written by heart!
According to the analysis of the sound emperor, although "Under the Flying Clouds" and "365 Days of Thinking of You", which made him feel that the creative techniques were inconsistent with the usual methods in the music industry, there were no actual similarities, but his intuition as a gold medal composer told him that the two songs had something in common!
Both songs are great and the production is excellent.
In addition, the composition of both songs is inconsistent with what is customary in the music industry.
You say it's a wild way, people are really not a wild way, it can only be said that this kind of creative technique is ahead of its time for the current Shui Lanxing pop music circle.
Both songs seem to come from an alien planet.
Or even the same alien.
And because the rules of "The Masked God of Songs" are that the guests either cover the songs of other singers, or they can only sing their own unreleased original works.
As a result, Emperor Yin came to the speculation that the rat-headed duck is a mental element nine times out of ten.
This speculation is unreliable at first glance, but under the careful tasting of netizens, it has become the most likely possibility at present.
Since Xinsu released the ruthless goods of "365 Days of Thinking of You" a few months ago, it has been silent.
At the beginning, there were still people who were looking forward to any new works from Xinsu every day, after all, everyone could see the high level of Xinsu from "365 Days of Thinking of You".
But since then, Xinsu has not been heard from.
Gradually, everyone seemed to forget that this person had appeared and surprised everyone.
Now that it has been mentioned again by the Sound Emperor, netizens have also recalled the amazement when "365 Days of Thinking of You" just appeared, how could that feeling not be like the feeling when I first heard "Under the Flying Clouds"?
Although the two songs can't fight together, the kind of surprise and surprise that has never been seen in the Chinese music scene is similar.
Can a song still be written like this?
Can you still sing like this?
Soon.
Emperor Yin's speculation that the rat-headed duck was a heart element began to go viral.
In addition to the original fans of Yindi, a large number of other netizens also learned about this situation.
As some professionals in the music industry spoke out in favor of Yindi's speculation, the discussion of the real identity of the rat-headed duck was Xinsu surged with a terrifying momentum.
"Xinsu! No way! It's been half a year since I had any news! Result now tell me that the rat-headed duck is a heart element? β
"So who is Xinsu!"
"Xinsu is the author of "365 Days of Thinking of You"! This song has been popular since it was released some time ago, a proper phenomenal song, you won't have heard it, right? β
"I don't mean who the heart is, but who the heart is."
"What do you mean?"
He meant that...... Even if the rat-headed duck is the heart element, but the heart element is the same as the rat-headed duck! No one has ever seen it, and the devil knows who it is! β
"When Xinsu uploaded "365 Days of Thinking of You" on Yuefu Online, everyone felt that this was the handiwork of a big guy who opened the vest, but Xinsu flatly denied it in the post at the time."
"So who will the heart be in the end?"
"Who knows?"
On the Internet, the question about the possibility that the rat-headed duck is the heart element, and about who the heart element is, lasted from the evening until the next day.
Because the identities of rat-headed duck and Xinsu are quite mysterious, netizens' curiosity and desire to eat melons and watch the excitement are full, so the popularity of related topics has not declined at all, even on the second day, it is still at the top of the hot search list.
In the afternoon.
In the "Masked God of Songs" program group in the magic capital, most of the staff are still sitting in the office area and discussing this matter.
Some people who are full of curiosity are really uncomfortable because of the feeling of being like ants crawling in their hearts, and even try to find Huang Xiang, the director of the program team, in order to get some clues from the director who knows the identity of the rat head duck.
They didn't want to ask Huang Xiang about the true identity of the rat-headed duck, after all, according to the rules of the program team, even if it is an insider, only a very few people can know the identity of the guest.
It is impossible for Huang Xiang to tell them the identity of the rat-headed duck because they are members of the program team, if this is the case, if this matter is leaked out, and the outside world learns the true identity of the guests through this cheating method of "examiner leaking questions", then the credibility of the "Masked God of Songs" program will be as low as freezing, and without this unknown veil to support the fun of the show, the overall failure of this season of the show will become a certainty.
Therefore, for the curiosity of this part of the staff, Huang Xiang can only keep silent.
Huang Xiang had just sent away two colleagues who had come to inquire about the situation, and at this time, he was frowning and pondering in the office.
After the broadcast of the "The Masked God of Songs" program yesterday, both the ratings and the discussion on the Internet far exceeded the previous seasons.
The reason for such excellent results is naturally because the rat-headed duck and the song "Under the Flying Clouds" are too good to play.
This season's overall ratings of "The Masked God" are bound to set a record.
And the rat-headed duck or Xiao Ning may win this season's championship.
Everything was going on as Huang Xiang expected before, and he should have been in a good mood, but because of the topic of "Xinsu" that has continued last night until now, in addition to being happy about the excellent results of the show, he is still full of wonders.
"The rat-headed duck is a heart element?"
"How can it be a heart element?"
"The rat-headed duck is obviously Xiao Ning......"
Huang Xiang can naturally figure out this truth.
What made him wonder was Emperor Yin's analysis on Weibo, even if he knew the true identity of the rat-headed duck, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
Huang Xiang pursed his lips, and recalled everything about "Xinsu" in his mind.
Although he is the director of the TV station, he is in charge of music variety shows such as "The Masked God of Songs", so it is naturally impossible for him not to understand the general movements of the music industry.
"365 Days of Thinking of You" has exploded before, and this song is what Xinsu did, and he roughly knows it.
However, Xin Su is like a worldly master who lives in seclusion and cultivates in the mountains, after throwing out the bombshell of "365 Days of Thinking of You", he directly returned to the mountains and forests and did not move at all.
"Thinking of You for 365 Days, this song was analyzed by a large number of gold medal lyricists and composers in the industry in addition to the sound emperor at that time."
"They all came to similar conclusions."
"That is, this song was created in a completely different way from the usual technique in the Dragon Kingdom music industry, and this creative method is not only not bad but ahead of its time."
"It's like this song shouldn't be in Dragon Country."
"Think of you for 365 days."
"Under the clouds...... It feels that way too. β
"It's a coincidence, but maybe it's really just a coincidence?"
At this moment, the assistant entered the office and handed over a USB flash drive.
"Director Huang, Xuanji Entertainment sent the details of the guests' song selection for the next round of program recordings, and the people at Xuanji said that in order to make the program team better prepared, the guests also specially recorded a demo this morning, you can take a look first."
The assistant left, and Huang Xiang inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.
Click on the folder.
The first thing he checked was the song selection information recorded by Xiao Ning in the next round of programs.
"The song title is ......"
"Ordinary Road?"
If you look at the title of the song just like this, the name of Xiao Ning's song is indeed mediocre.
"It's so ordinary......"
Although he said so to himself, Huang Xiang, who knew Xiao Ning's strength, didn't think so in his heart.
He clicked on the lyrics, the score, and then clicked on the demo audio file.
With the expectation of Xiao Ning's song, he pressed the play button.
"Hovering
On the road
Are you leaving
Via Via
fragile
Proud
That used to be what I used to be
Boiling
Restless
Where are you going
Via Viaβ¦β¦β
The demo duration is not long, just the duration of a main song and a chorus.
After listening, Huang Xiang fell into a stupor.
Because!
It's a ballad song!
As soon as you hear it, you know it's a ballad!
"How dare he engage in such a niche thing on the show "The Masked God of Songs"?"
"But ......"
Huang Xiang pursed his lips, trembled his eyebrows and said, "This folk song ......"
"It's weird."
"It's completely different from those traditional folk songs in the Dragon Country music circle!"
"It's new!"
"This feeling is new!"
"It's like ......"
"This technique is ahead of its time in today's Dragon Country music circle, especially in the niche category of folk songs......"
"Wait!"
"Ahead of the curve?"
Ahead of time!
Isn't "365 Days of Thinking of You" ahead of its time?
Isn't "Under the Flying Clouds" ahead of its time?
This "Ordinary Road" is starting to advance again?
It can't be so coincidental!
A crazy idea was born in Huang Xiang's heart.
"The rat-headed duck is Xiao Ning, that's no problem."
"And the heart is ......"
"It's Xiao Ning too?"
After having such a thought in his heart, Huang Xiang opened his mouth widely.
Don't say it.
It's really possible!
The creative technique of "365 Days of Thinking of You" is inconsistent with the usual methods in the music industry.
"Under the Clouds" also has this problem.
And those "The Lonely Brave", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Dream Chaser", "Bicycle", "All the Way North" or something......
Isn't that the problem all there?
It's all new, it's amazing to listen to, the creative techniques are not the usual techniques in the Dragon Kingdom music circle, and some of the songs feel quite advanced!
Huang Xiang thought of this, and the whole person was stunned.
"I'm grass!"
"That's a good possibility!"
"Xiao Ning is a rat-headed duck! It's also a heart element! β
Xiao Ning!
Rat Head Duck!
Heart!
These three people can easily cause heated discussions on the Internet!
And now it looks like these three people are actually one person!
"Terrifying!"
"I, Nima, are so terrifying!"
After spending half a day digesting this situation, which can be called a "horror story", Huang Xiang tried to calm down and listened to "Ordinary Road" again.
And after another demo, Huang Xiang was deep
I took a breath.
"The level of this song "Ordinary Road" is also a little higher!"
"As soon as you hear it, you know it's a folk genre, but it's completely different from those folk songs in the current Chinese music scene!"
"Is he going to use this song to subvert the folk style of the entire Chinese music scene?"
"This Xiao Ning ......"
"It's too strong!"
After picking up the teacup and taking a big sip of tea, the doubts and shocks in Huang Xiang's original heart all disappeared.
Instead, the expression was excited.
"In the last round, no one would guess "Under the Flying Clouds" in the last round."
"This time take this song "Ordinary Road", no one will guess ......"
"No one would have thought that folk songs could be so real and so beautiful!"
β¦β¦
Two days later.
The second round of recording of this season's "The Masked God of Songs" went ahead as scheduled.
Because the performance of the rat-headed duck in the last round of "Under the Flying Clouds" was too rebellious, in fact, during the entire recording process of this round of the show, whether it was the audience or the judges of the guessing group who were most looking forward to, or what kind of new surprises the rat-headed duck could bring to everyone.
Some people think that the rat-headed duck who took out "Under the Flying Clouds" in the first round will run out of food and go high and low, after all, "Under the Flying Clouds" is too amazing from song to singing, and it is difficult to copy or break through.
Others think that the rat-headed duck is likely to still have ruthless goods, otherwise it would be impossible to be on "Under the Flying Clouds" in the first round.
And when the final recording process was taken, all the mysteries were revealed.
"Ordinary Road", which is enough to subvert the current folk style and genre of folk music in the current Chinese music scene and have an impact on the entire folk song field, is released.
It was as if the world had fallen silent for a moment.
Whether it is the guessing team, the judges and the audience, they are completely blindsided.
Who would have thought that the rat-headed duck would also have a ballad?
Who would have thought that his ballads could be so top-notch?
The most confused person is Zhang Yi, the "talker" of the guessing group judges.
The list of five people he gave in the last round according to "Under the Flying Clouds" is all around the popular lyrical style of "Under the Flying Clouds"!
All speculation is leaning on pop lyricism!
As a result, Nima's round of rat-headed duck came to the first ballad!
So during the subsequent recording process, Xiao Ning's singing ended, and when the other guessing group judges asked Zhang Yi what he thought of the performance of this round of rat-headed ducks, Zhang Yi's guess last time seemed to be inaccurate.
Zhang Yi's mentality is broken.
"I'm playing Nima!"
The next chapter moves on to the next challenge, and the show only writes the details of when it was broadcast.
