don't call me singer

Chapter 1470 To write a song that can be sung
The definition and standards of "popular music" are formulated by the United States.

Typical pop music originally came from the combination of African American music and white folk songs.

In every previous era, the United States has dominated the evolution of popular music.

From jazz, country, rock and roll, in every era, the United States is the leader and leader.

However, after the worldwide popular trend shifted from rock to hip-hop, hip-hop music occupies a higher and higher proportion on various pop music charts in the United States.

But the aesthetic orientation of the world has not been completely unified.

The trend of pop music in the United States is the same as their society that shouts "Black Lives Matter" but is actually fragmented, as well as the political system that is riddled with holes. Aesthetics have made people all over the world regard him as Guigao.

Or, it is this huge market in the East that has begun to "uncompromise" and "not follow".

Hip-hop programs for several years in a row did not make this kind of music a new darling, and most of the stars that were released had to go back to the semi-underground.

China's music scene still has its own needs.

It’s okay to say that the music aesthetics of most people in China is not good, or it’s okay to say that Chinese people are not trendy.

Anyway, that kind of music that scolds and disses each other and provokes each other just doesn't conform to Chinese values.

In this era, music is also fragmented.

Some musicians who flaunt innovation, especially some musicians with high traffic, are clamoring to make original music while creating, or hire a team at a high price to create an all-English album and all-English songs.

These albums seem to be very high-end, and the producers also have English names. Except that the people who released the albums are Chinese, they seem to have no relationship with Chinese people.

In fact, after these songs are often released, they don't have much popularity or popularity.

It's more like a means of brushing your resume.

At the same time, the songs that are really liked by the people and spread wildly on various new media platforms are often Chinese-style songs. It can't be called excellent, but it can still explode.

This illustrates two points.

First, Chinese people's demand for Chinese localized pop music is already an irreversible trend.

Second, there is still an extreme shortage of excellent Chinese localized pop music, and you can’t hear good Chinese-style songs. Listeners who have a high demand for this would rather lower their demand to listen to worse works, and they don’t like it. Go to listen to some so-called "trendy" songs as instructed by awards, compulsions, and scorn chains.

Fortunately, they still have Gu Xiaobai, and Gu Xiaobai's several albums have greatly filled this gap.

But at the same time, it also aroused greater hunger and thirst.

How can two or three albums be enough?
We want more!
When you know something is delicious and you like to eat something, of course you want to eat more!

At the scene, the singers of the school song competition also looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Chinese style? What kind of Chinese style?" Someone raised his hand and asked, "Which kind of Chinese style is Jay Chou's, or the current ancient style? Or Xiaobai's Chinese style?"

The three Chinese styles are still different.

Jay Chou's is a Chinese-style reconstruction of western music with lyrics, melody, and melody; Gufeng is a pile of Chinese elements including lyrics and musical instruments; and Gu Xiaobai...is a Chinese-style classic that is directly deconstructed from the core of music theory.

"Any kind is fine, as long as everyone likes it!" An Ge said.

Then he paused: "Can you write that kind of Xiaobai?"

The words "hahaha" caused the audience to burst into laughter.

No one knows how Gu Xiaobai's music was written. Those songs seem to have come from ancient times, but they have been packaged and reconstructed in modern times. Aesthetics of modern people.

His "Song, Dance, Poetry" can be regarded as a master of this style. From the melody to the musical instruments, none of them are familiar to everyone, as if they have traveled from another world.

But it sounds good.

Like some kind of incredible magic.

"Then Xiaobai is taking too much advantage!"

"This first one is beneficial to Xiaobai, it's too much!"

"Brother An, did that little brother really plan to give birth to a monkey for you? Or is he a fan of Xiaobai? He came here to draw lots for Xiaobai?"

"That's right, I'm Xiaobai's fan!" Outside, the little brother standing in the crowd shouted.

Brother An's face darkened: "..."

The audience burst into laughter again.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

This little guy can really do things!

Brother An got angry and said: "I originally asked the audience to draw the second one too! Now that I'm angry, I might as well draw the second one myself!"

He reached into the box, and a few seconds later, he took out a card and put it in his mouth.

Then he put the box down with both hands, took out the cards, and unfolded them.

Next to it, the camera panned up again.

"The second rule: pass the song."

"Singing?" The singers, audience, and netizens at the scene were puzzled again.

What kind of rule is this?
Now, everyone hears many songs every day.

You can hear Chinese songs, English songs, Japanese songs, Korean songs...

But the phenomenon is the same in both foreign and domestic pop music circles—music that can be heard and sung along, and that can be heard everywhere, is often still the old songs from 20 years ago.

There are so many new songs every year, and so many hot ones.

However, it seems that there are still few pieces of music that can settle down and make people linger on.

Even the way popular music is popular has changed. The songs that people sing, listen to, and often hear are suddenly split into completely different types. Those songs that are popular now, you also like to listen to them, But never to sing, some songs you can sing but never hear because they are dead.

All of a sudden, the world feels weirder and more fragmented.

Nobody knows what happened.

In modern popular music, the human voice is becoming more and more like an instrumental music, because there are too many playing devices.

and so……

"Singing" doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

You don't have to be able to sing to experience a song.

You just have to listen, or even just watch.

Therefore, in various TV series and in various Hollywood movies, when the hero and heroine want to express their emotions, the songs they sing are often old songs from decades or hundreds of years ago.

"In this competition, the song you created must be catchy and easy to sing, and not have too many difficult skills. In other words... this time you should try to use only the melody and lyrics to make a fuss. "
