Chapter 117 The pioneering work "Dongfeng Break"(1/2)
Aunt Leshen has been learning musical instruments since she was a child. She also studied music-related subjects in college, and her current career is as a music critic.
Experts know the ropes, while laymen watch the excitement. It is precisely because she knows her stuff that she was shocked enough after listening to "Dongfeng Po" three times!
She didn't know what Luo Mo was thinking, and she didn't understand why Luo Mo dared to do this.
However, the genre of the song "East Wind Breaks" is very clear, and it is closer to the direction of ancient music.
Yes, of course ancient music also exists in this world. After all... the ancients also listened to music and sang!
The greatest expression of ancient music is the five tones of [Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu].
So we have an idiom called tone-deaf, not tone-deaf.
Most of the current popular music has more than five tones.
There are seven musical scales in total, and in ancient Chinese music, the seven-tone scales are missing the "fa" and "private" that ascend by semitones.
Nowadays, there are indeed some popular songs that were created based on [Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu], and many of them are quite popular.
However, Luo Mo's song is obviously different from these songs.
It is obviously very old-fashioned, giving people an antique feeling, and the lyrics and music are also very elegant, but it is very popular and is extremely in line with the current mainstream aesthetics.
In fact, Luo Mo chose this song for many reasons.
Before he started making the album, he was thinking about the unity of the album.
For songs like "Daughter's Love", he definitely wants to release the official version, otherwise the copyright will be lost.
Since he wanted to put these songs into the album, Luo Mo quickly came up with an idea.
Make an album that is "ancient" enough.
If we want to practice ancient style, how can we not have [Chinese style]?
As soon as I thought about it, the songs for the new album "Red" were immediately decided.
That is the song "East Wind Break" that cannot be avoided when talking about Chinese style!
The status of this song in Chinese style is transcendent. It does not mean that it is the most popular song, or that it is the song with the highest level... because music is also relatively subjective, and everyone has it. aesthetics.
The reason why "Dongfeng Po" has a transcendent status is that many people call it the new Chinese style, or the pioneering work of modern Chinese style.
It is a watershed work.
Since the release of "Dongfeng Po", China's music scene has really undergone drastic changes.
A craze for "Chinese style" was set off, and it is still one of the most popular styles to this day.
For Chinese people, the charm of Chinese style is difficult to resist.
This is different from the music style introduced from outside. This is something that has been handed down to us, and it has a different charm.
Since the appearance of "Dongfeng Po", the Chinese style characteristics of "three ancients and three new" have basically taken shape.
The so-called three ancients and three news refer to ancient poetry, ancient culture, ancient melodies, new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts.
If you listen to this song now, no matter whether it is your favorite or not, it will be difficult for you to imagine that this song appeared in 2003...
"Ye Huimei", the album named after Jay Chou's mother, can be said to have broken the shackles of the music industry at that time.
That year, many people were extremely shocked when they heard "Dongfeng Break".
"Can you still play like this!?"
So, this is how Aunt Leshen felt at this time.
The song "Coffee" by Zhao Xueqin can be said to be the master of music styles such as RNB.
But it is just a master.
You will be a classic in this category and a ceiling-level song in this category.
But if the song "East Wind Break" brought by Luo Mo can really shock the music world and become a big hit in China, it will be the pioneer of a new genre!
"Absolutely amazing!"
"You dare to make such bold attempts and innovations in this field. This is not what a debut album should be like!" Aunt Leshen felt that she was a little obsessed with this man.
While others are still fighting in the same fields, this young man’s debut album is no longer playing in the same fields as you.
We will set up our own business directly.
It is true that you are the king of heaven, you are the master of lyrics and music, and you are all masters in your respective fields.
However, how can a grandmaster be as good as the founder?
Aunt Leshen listened to "East Wind Break" again, and her fingers couldn't help but tap the keyboard to write a music review of hundreds or even thousands of words for it.
At least to her, the song sounds good, and she also thinks it will become popular.
A work, even if it is subversive enough, can only be called funny as long as it is not popular.
If a work is subversive enough and popular, then it is innovation in the true sense.
In her opinion, the next step depends on the feedback from the market.
It all depends on the ears of the audience!
However, no matter how it ended, she felt that Luo Mo had done something great that others dared not do and could not even imagine.
This can change the thinking of the music industry and even the direction of the future.
Maybe many singers and songwriters will be inspired by this.
Didn’t this situation suddenly open up?
What kind of ring battle, what kind of the strongest newcomer vs. the king of superstars, it’s too small! The pattern is too small!
If I write my music review around these events, I am simply sorry for this epoch-making song!
"I want to open up the situation too!" she thought in her heart.
Only three words popped into the music critic's mind.
People like Luo Mo are generally called [mountain monsters]!
………
………
Xinyu’s music director is named Qian Wei.
He is Xinyu’s third music director.
Since he became the music director, Xinyu has not made much breakthrough development in the music industry for the time being.
At the beginning, he also asked Luo Mo why this album was called "Red".
He thought it might be a bit too crazy, since it was a debut album after all.
Or should we say that "Chi Ling" and "Chasing Dreams" are both going to be added to this album, so we chose "Red" which is related to deficit?
Luo Mo waved his hand. He actually had no intention of Versailles and said, "This red refers to China Red."
Qian Wei still doesn't understand, how can an album be related to China Red?
Until he listened to "East Wind Breaks".
He thinks Luo Mo is crazy!
Obviously, just play it slow and move closer to the ancient style.
Every Luo Mo song with an ancient style has received extremely good market feedback. We will just make further progress, isn’t it great?
Doesn't a singer always develop in one field, and only when he reaches a bottleneck will he tell others that he wants to seek a breakthrough?
You haven't even debuted yet, so there's no need to be so big...
A star's autonomy will be highlighted at this time.
If Luo Mo was just an ordinary newcomer in Xinyu, then he would still have to work hard to convince the music director, but he might not be able to do so.
It's not that Qian Wei has no music appreciation ability. He personally thinks "Dongfeng Po" is very nice and very innovative. However, he himself is a conservative person and doesn't like to do things that are too risky.
Luo Mo is now at the top, and his popularity is ridiculously high. The most important thing to do now is to stabilize, rather than to "open up wasteland".
For this reason, he even went to talk to Shen Shaoqiu.
The lame man was stunned when he heard this.
The reason why he signed Luo Mo with an unprecedented S-level contract in the first place and agreed with him to open a studio was to enable the company to achieve breakthrough development and explore some previously unexplorable areas with top-notch power.
For example, some top fashion resources and some top global endorsements are not available to Xinyu, but with Luo Mo, they can fight for them.
So, he just listened to "Dongfeng Po" a few times, and then asked music director Qian Wei an extremely simple personal question: "Do you think...it sounds good?"
Qian Wei nodded and said: "It sounds good, but Mr. Shen..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Shaoqiu raising his hand.
"Then let him go." Shen Shaoqiu said.
If you want to blow up the music scene, just blow up the music scene!
