Chapter 319 Golden Needle Award ([-])
"Uncle Wen was so blacked out by Ding Ning."

Listening to Ding Ning's eloquent talk, the corners of Fu Yueran's mouth raised involuntarily.

This guy, thanks to Uncle Wen being so kind to him, actually "hacked" Uncle Wen in such a public place, isn't this pure heart to knock Uncle Wen down from the altar?

Fu Zhou smiled and said, "It's good for him to say this openly. At least let everyone know more about domestic pop music."

"He's so straightforward, isn't he afraid of being scolded?" In the past, Fu Yueran would have worried that Ding Ning's words would soon be his turn to be hacked.

But now, it's been a year since Ding Ning's debut. During this year, he has grown extremely vigorously. For him, black is another embodiment of red.

However, she still felt that Ding Ning was a bit "too young" to say such a thing in such a public place?
"If he was afraid of being scolded, there would be no "Besieged on All Sides"."

"That is." Fu Yueran smiled.

"And some words are only qualified to say at his height. What he sees now is not only himself, but the entire music scene. The Chinese music scene may not have much room for improvement now. He said something like this , I just don’t want to have only grades and no achievements.”

Speaking of this, Fu Zhou paused: "After all, in terms of the works he presents now, there are breakthroughs in every category, but they have not yet reached the height of achievement. If he was born more than ten years earlier, his It might replace Zheng Wei, but he was born more than ten years later."

Unexpectedly, his father would give such an interpretation of Ding Ning's words and deeds at the moment, Fu Yueran suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

Is Ding Ning planning to rely on his own efforts to break the current status quo of the music scene?

In other words, do you want to influence the current music scene with your own strength?

This is too ambitious, but if it's Ding Ning, she thinks it's okay.

On the red carpet, Zang Luping showed admiration after listening to Ding Ning's words: "So, your rock music is mainly on the positive side. I used to think that you were popular because of your good music. .Now I find that you are popular because you have a correct music attitude. I rarely hear a singer say such a thing in such a public place. I don’t know if you want everyone to speak out today make change."

Ding Ning said: "One thing, I just don't want to see so many outstanding musicians, stuck in the quagmire left by their predecessors and unable to get out. Foreign folk songs and rock are constantly improving, and their influence is still amazing. , and it is still a long-lasting big category, not a niche. It is a pity that we have stagnated or even regressed.”

Zang Luping continued: "Speaking of minorities, I wonder if you can talk about a very strange idea in the current folk and rock music scene. That is to say, some people think that listening to folk and rock has a sense of superiority. And don't like the works and singers they want to be popular."

This topic is a bit sensitive, because if you accidentally poke someone's G-spot, it will make them go into a rage.

Ding Ning thought about it for a while, and said, "Actually, I have a good understanding of the idea you mentioned, and I have a deep understanding. I made my debut singing folk songs. When I gradually became popular, I often heard two voices. One is that they don’t want me to be popular. If I want to be popular, they won’t like me because I’m vulgar. The other is that I can be popular even if I don’t sing pop music. It’s so strange. Well, it's like I just have to sing pop music."

"They are essentially the same. In the final analysis, as I said earlier, Chinese people's appreciation of pop music has levels. I don't mean levels of high and low levels, but levels like a straight line being cut into line segments. Some people dabble in more, have higher compatibility, and may have multiple levels. Some people may be more dedicated and only stay at a certain level.”

"Under such circumstances, it's normal to have a rejection of other levels because you can't appreciate it. But I think it's quite strange to have a sense of superiority, especially when listening to folk songs and rock is superior. That's even more strange. I As I said just now, these two categories are very basic, they are the first wave to come, and they have been experienced by everyone, and I don’t know where the advantages lie.”

"And those who think that only pop songs can be popular, and singers of other levels cannot be popular. It means that this level can still be popular, and there is a market. The reason why it cannot be popular all the time is because there are too few truly outstanding singers and works. This is the disadvantage of being too basic, too ordinary, too entry-level, so that you have to Excellence is more difficult."

"It's even more strange because you don't want singers or songs to be popular. The birth of a good song requires a lot of investment, and the cost can easily start at [-]. And [-] profits are still easy in the digital music era, but in the previous record era. , Many people died without earning the [-] back."

"Singers also have to eat. If they can't be popular and make money, they have no motivation to move forward. It's selfish to hope that they won't be popular to reflect their own taste. When the singer they like dies, they don't really die, but Withdrawing, etc., these selfish people generally don’t have any regrets, maybe even complain. When they turn around, they will immediately fall in love with another singer.”

"What I said is more straightforward, and it may be more extreme, which will hurt some people's hearts, but I really think this kind of thinking is not advisable."

They are telling the truth, but it is not good to extend it further. Zang Luping took the topic with a smile: "Actually, your existence has broken the strange thinking of the niche circle to a certain extent. You are a typical A singer from all walks of life, you cover a wide range of subjects, I believe you have influenced the music aesthetics of a group of people, and also transformed the level of a group of people."

On the live barrage, countless people said: I am.

Ding Ning smiled: "Maybe I'm hated by others and blacklisted."

Zang Luping smiled and said: "That must be a small number. I have a piece of data here. Our organizers did a survey before the awards ceremony. The number is 5000 people. The location must be on our Hong Kong Island. Then you Do you know what the end result is?"

Zang Luping didn't clarify what the investigation was, and Ding Ning was a little confused: "I don't know what the investigation is, so I don't know the result."

Zang Luping said: "It's a survey about your songs and the songs you wrote. The conclusion is that 5000% of the 87 people have heard the songs you wrote, or the songs you sang. And this 87% Among them, 63% have heard at least three of your songs, which shows that the public has a very high exposure to your songs, and the evaluation is also very good. You know what I mean.”

If this data is true, it is indeed not bad, which means that he is also popular in Hong Kong Island. Ding Ning grinned: "I know."

Zang Luping smiled and said: "Well, I know you are embarrassed to say it, so I will say it for you. This survey shows that you are very popular in our Hong Kong Island, especially your writing "Legend of Hungry Wolf", "The Postman " and "Undercurrent" can be said to be the most popular Cantonese songs in recent years. When you came, did you hear them on the street?"

Ding Ning shook his head: "No, after I arrived on Hong Kong Island, I basically rehearsed in the gymnasium and didn't have much time to go out."

"Oh~" Zang Luping suddenly raised his decibels, looked around and said, "Friends at the scene, if you have any of the three songs I just mentioned on your mobile phone, please raise your arms and let Ding Ning see that he is in our Popularity on Hong Kong Island.”

Immediately, the audience outside the red carpet, blocked by the railings, was noisy, and many people scrambled to raise their hands to signal.

At this time, some elderly people were very surprised. It turned out that these three songs that have been very popular recently were actually written by this young man, which is quite capable.

"See." Zang Luping was very satisfied with the active cooperation of the audience.

"Thank you for your support." Ding Ning waved to the audience.

On a whim, he blew a kiss, and in an instant, the audience screamed deafeningly.

It was as if a group of bombers flew by densely, and the sound waves pierced the sky, resounding loudly.

Zang Luping shuddered on purpose, and opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Stop screaming, I'm almost deaf!"

Ding Ning's fans shouted even more fiercely.

When the screaming subsided a little bit, Zang Luping smiled and said, "Your fans are so enthusiastic, they don't seem to know that you are already famous."

"know."

"Please don't tell me."

"what!!!"

All kinds of sounds immediately sounded on the field.

Seeing the intense reaction from the fans, Zang Luping bowed to the audience with a smile: "I'm sorry, I was too talkative, you just pretend I didn't say that sentence just now."

"Okay, back to the topic." The headset received a reminder that the next group of stars is coming, and there is not much time left for the interview. Zang Luping quickly brought the topic back: "We just talked about the topic of Chinese pop music. I I would like to say a few more words here."

"As we all know, there are many categories of awards set by foreign pop music awards, such as POP, R&B, Dance/Electronic, Rock, Jazz, RAP, Country, etc. But we Chinese In the pop music awards ceremony, there are only regions and languages, as well as performance and singing. There is no distinction, because there are only a few popular categories, and now basically pop, R&B and electronic/dance music dominate the world. Others, rap And the Jazz are more marginal."

"As for folk and rock, there is no shortage of singers and a large number of works, but in terms of the current volume of excellent works, it is difficult to support a category. As for country, etc., what is country?" Zang Luping said This, deliberately looking at the audience, the scene naturally burst into laughter.

When everyone was almost laughing, Zang Luping turned around, looked at Ding Ning and continued, "I don't think this is a good phenomenon, what do you think, Ding Ning?"

Ding Ning said: "It doesn't necessarily have to be the same as foreign countries. After all, they are the origin of the birth and development of pop music, but they are imported products for us. Of course, on the other hand, we can see our pop music from this point. There is a lot of room for improvement in music. Our market has not yet fully developed, and there is still room for expansion in the aesthetics of our listeners. The acceptance of many music categories requires a strong person to spread and open, and the future is full of opportunities.”

"I think you definitely want to be another person who promotes a certain category to the whole people?" Zang Luping took the opportunity to ask.

"Uh," Ding Ning pondered for a moment, and said, "If possible, I certainly hope to be that kind of person. But in fact, I never thought of being such a person. My hope is that all the music I make will be enjoyed by everyone Anyone can like it."

"Wow, this is a more difficult goal." It is not easy for all of a person's works to be loved by a large group of people. The difficulty is no less difficult than promoting a certain category to the whole people.

However, Zang Luping is more interested in the topic he has expanded than this arduous and ambitious goal: "If you have the opportunity to become the person who opens up a new world, which category would you most like to start with?"

During the questioning, it suddenly occurred to Ding Ning that he had a rap-style work, and he said again: "I know your rap is good, "My Site" doesn't it, it incorporates rap elements."

Ding Ning thought for a while, and said: "How should I put it, rap is the same as rock and roll. It was originally an underground category. When he wants to move from underground to underground, it is inevitable that there will be divisions. Therefore, there are real rock and fake rock, real rap False rap. To put it simply, a group of people who consider themselves hard rock fans do not regard the pop rock that has been transferred to the ground as real rock. Rap ​​is similar, at least in the domestic market, the more popular pop rap is not It is recognized by hardcore rap, that is, the most traditional and original rap lovers and singers."

"When you said that sentence just now, someone might have already uttered a 'cut' at the scene or in front of the screen, and many rap artists have already raised their middle fingers in disdain. How should I put it, I'm just a simple pop singer, my ballads are pop ballads, rock is mostly pop rock, and rap is definitely pop rap."

"For me, rap is just an element that can be used. I will produce works that incorporate rap elements, but I never thought about promoting rap to the whole people. Rap ​​is a category that requires a lot of talent. To be honest, I don’t have that aspect. Therefore, my goal can only be set to make more people think it sounds good and can accept it. Spoilers are allowed, my new album has works that incorporate rap and hip-hop elements, but it is not hardcore rap.”

Rap is indeed a genre that is very particular about talent. People of the yellow race do not lack the talent for speaking, but the combination of rap and singing is not as good as it is, and the Chinese pronunciation is destined to be unsuitable for rap. This is why rap has been introduced to China for a long time, but so far The reason why it cannot become mainstream.

However, Zang Luping still likes Ding Ning's popular rap style. He said: "I am very much looking forward to your pop rap works and your new album. Can you tell everyone here when it will be available for pre-sale? "

"It's almost the end of the month." Ding Ning replied.

When his words fell to the ground, there was an elated cheer at the scene.

He released a new album, which is the most anticipated thing for many of his live fans.

"One last question." After the shouting subsided, Zang Luping continued: "Will your performance tonight involve the new album?"

"Yes." Ding Ning answered neatly.

There is a new album track, so I must stick to Ding Ning's performance!

Whether it's on the scene or in front of the screen, at this moment, countless people have the same thought.
