Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 148 ZPOP Music Form (Monthly Ticket Plus )

"You all are focusing on Wu Zhuo using the song to diss Xiao Zhi. Isn't there anyone who thinks this song is awesome like me?"

A reporter wearing glasses adjusted his glasses and looked at other people.

"Yes, it's amazing. Wu Zhuo is so handsome."

A female reporter next to him stared at Wu Zhuo on the stage with an infatuated and happy look on her face. At this moment, she might have already imagined the name of her fifth child with Wu Zhuo.

“Electronic music, dance music, rap, pop music…all these elements were integrated into this song.

It’s very similar to Korean K.POP, but it’s Chinese K.POP, and it’s a completely new form of music.”

Near the stage, a man in his forties looked back at the bespectacled reporter and explained.

Then he turned back and started writing quickly in the notebook in his hand.

His name is Wang Xian, and he works for a music magazine published by United Daily News.

He is a music magazine editor and also a music critic.

Years ago, he paid attention to Wu Chao.

I've heard his album, which was praised by some media as one of the best albums of 2006.

It was also this album that made him decide to write a separate article for Wu Zhuo.

However, I don’t know much about Wu Zhuo’s style or personality.

Wu Zhuo released a new song today, and he came here specially instead of his interviewer, just to make a more detailed evaluation of Wu Zhuo's song and himself.

What he didn't expect was that the type of song Wu Zhuo sang today actually surprised him.

He has also been paying attention to Korean music in recent years and knows that their P.POP music is on the rise.

He listened to a lot of songs in this regard, including those by TVXQ and even the songs by Super Junior that caused quite a stir during promotion in Taiwan last year.

He has always felt that this form of music will definitely become a big enemy of the Chinese music scene in the future.

After all, the two sides were too close.

Also, because of the cultural similarities, if the other party rises, Taiwan, and even the entire China and the Chinese community in Asia may be impacted.

did not expect.

Unexpectedly, when he was worried about this, he actually saw a musical song similar to this musical form but belonging to China in Wu Zhuo.

Listening to Wu Zhuo's powerful singing, Wang Xian quickly wrote in his notebook:

“One day, Wu Zhuo will become the most formidable force in the Chinese music scene.

No, he is now. He is someone who can truly be compared with Jay Chou.

He already has a stylistic signature that no one else has.

I call this form of his music Z.POP.

Just like Jay Chou created a new Chinese style of music, Wu Zhuo's music may have fewer Chinese elements, but it is more inclined towards the direction of world popularity. "

……

At the same time as Wu Chao held a new song release conference, the single CD "To Someone" also began to be sold in major record stores in Taiwan.

It has also been launched on several music platforms in Taiwan.

After all, Wu Zhuo was last year's Rookie of the Year.

His "My Personal Style" was once hailed as a masterpiece by the media.

This album made him, as a newcomer, become one of the new Four Heavenly Kings in the media.

Just based on this album and his release of new songs, it is enough to attract the attention of many other singers and musicians in the music industry.

"Have you bought the record?" In a hotel in Taipei.

JJ Lin, who came to Taiwan Province to attend an event, looked at Xu Peiyun who opened the door.

Among the new Four Heavenly Kings, who pays the most attention to Wu Chao?

That is undoubtedly JJ Lin.

There’s nothing we can do, the new Four Heavenly Kings have only just started marketing.

Although several of them have been recognized by many media.

But there is also a gap here.

Jay Chou and Leehom Wang undoubtedly have the most stable positions.

Even if someone comes up from behind, it is impossible for them to be squeezed out.

There are only Wu Zhuo and JJ Lin. Both of them debuted relatively late.

If anyone else tries to squeeze into the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, one of these two will definitely fall.

And how to prevent from falling?

The natural thing is to be careful of others while continuing to accumulate your own works to make your position more secure.

For JJ Lin.

He has a slight advantage.

After all, he debuted earlier than Wu Zhuo and has released quite a few albums, all of which have good quality and sales.

He only needs to run a little faster than Wu Chao to avoid being left behind.

At that time, even if someone wanted to come up, they would only push Wu Zhuo away.

However, despite having some advantages, JJ Lin is very concerned about Wu Zhuo.

After all, the advantage was a bit small, and he was worried about being overtaken by Wu Chao.

Therefore, after Wu Chao released his new song, even though he knew it was just a single CD, he still asked his agent to buy one for him to listen to.

"Huayan is really crazy, a crappy single CD is priced at 70 Taiwan dollars.

It’s just a money grab.”

Xu Peiyun took out the CD in a gloomy tone, "However, there are still a lot of people rushing to buy it, all of them are young girls. I wonder if they stole the money from their families."

"Wu Zhuo has been very popular recently, and Jimmy Lin has been mentioning him in public, although this has brought him a lot of criticism.

But it also attracted a lot of attention to him.

Releasing a record at this time itself creates a lot of curiosity.”

JJ Lin said as he turned on the hotel's DVD player and inserted the CD to play.

Xu Peiyun bought the CD version, which had no video, only lyrics.

The prelude starts.

"It's a bit similar to 'Super Style', it's electronic music, and it should also be a dance music style."

Just by listening to the prelude, JJ Lin analyzed a lot of things.

He continued listening.

The singing started.

"Oh where do you get your confidence from?"

"You said you were once the Supreme, but I don't see any trace of the Supreme."

“I only see garbage that needs to be sorted”

"Black, white, red, blue, yellow, green, purple, which category are you?"

……

After a while, the CD in the DVD player stopped spinning.

But JJ Lin sat on the sofa, frowning and thinking.

“Electronic music, dance music, pop music, rap music… so many elements are integrated into one.

The style of the songs is very similar to those of Korean groups, but it is not a copy or cover like Pan Weibo's, but a creation based on Chinese culture.

Is this a new genre?”

"What's wrong? It sounds nice, but it shouldn't make you frown." Xu Peiyun looked confused.

“It’s different. It sounds good, but his style is more important.

Although the songs on his previous album were classic, they were all old-fashioned musical forms.

But this time he took a step forward.

His style of music is almost non-existent in the current Chinese music scene.

Luo Zhixiang and Pan Weibo can be counted, but they are copying Korea. Wu Chao is different.

He creates his own music. He may have learned some Korean K.POP and incorporated it into his own music.

This has made his musical style extremely innovative, and to a certain extent, even better than those Korean guys.

Simply put, based on this song, if those Korean groups are still on the first floor, he is already on the third floor or above. "
