Chapter 201 Chinese Style and Rock Spring
The May 68th concert officially begins.
Lin Xiaoxing was the first to perform a solo.
"The next song is from my new album."
"There is a song in my new album that was composed by Ceyong and written by Fengge."
The audience cheered.
"There is another song, the lyrics and music of which were written by Han Zhou."
"But unfortunately, these two songs have not been made yet, so today I bring you a song from the new album called "Love Disappears in the Wind."
The fans cheered in vain.
It seems that your song is not finished yet, so what's the meaning of mentioning this?
Hiding it, hunger marketing?
But to be honest, fans just love this. The atmosphere today was great. When the album mentioned today comes out, nine out of ten people at the scene will buy it.
I've bought tickets worth hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars, so what's wrong with buying an album for just a few dozen dollars?
So, by mentioning this today, we have achieved sales of tens of thousands of albums.
Lin Xiaoxing is still very cunning. He knows that if he doesn't advertise now, when will he advertise again?
Han Zhou, who was preparing in the backstage, said: "Oops, he got there first..."
Han Zhou is also planning to advertise.
But, someone has already put up an advertisement, so you do it yourself.
It's not a TV show, but there are still advertisements all the time.
Han Zhou originally wanted to promote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but now it seems that he should give up.
Aunt Mao didn't do makeup for Han Zhou today, but she was responsible for the entire costume.
After all, the outfits prepared by An Lan and Wang Xiya were too shocking when put together. It was okay for the award ceremony, but wearing them like this at a concert clearly showed that they didn't treat their fans as human beings.
So, Aunt Mao came to check it personally.
Aunt Mao knew that this would offend two scary women, but she had no choice. If she didn't come, she would offend Sister Hong, who was also scary. The key point was that her salary was paid by Sister Hong.
So, Aunt Mao must come.
"Put it on."
Han Zhou pointed at two suits.
Aunt Mao: "Forget about it, it's the concert!"
Han Zhou: "I've already bought it, it would be a shame not to wear it."
Aunt Mao: "A new song, a new style of song, this video will be watched over and over again by many fans in the future!!!"
Han Zhou: “Emm…”
"Haha, as a natural clothes hanger, clothes are just a way for me to avoid being 404ed, so just wear theirs."
Aunt Mao: "Okay, I can take a step back. Then you wear a complete set."
"You can only choose one set from An Lan's and Wang Xiya's. You can't mix and match."
Han Zhou: "White suit and black trousers, how nice."
Aunt Mao: “…”
Explosion.
After Lin Xiaoxing's solo performance, Han Zhou and others came on stage.
Lin Xiaoxing was talking to his fans: "A long time ago, Han Zhou wrote a poem. Do you remember?"
"Remember!"
The audience was very loud.
Lin Xiaoxing: "At the beginning, someone asked Han Zhou if he would compose ancient style songs in the future."
"Not long ago, a song called 'Chinese Kung Fu' came out of nowhere."
“A typical new version of an ancient song.”
The audience already knew what was going to happen and screamed crazily: "Ahhh!!!"
Lin Xiaoxing smiled: "To be honest, when we saw this song, Fengge, Ceyong, and I were all stunned."
"Completely subversive."
"You can also say it is a complete inheritance."
“It’s a completely new style of music, and the first song is very mature.”
"In Han Zhou's own words, this is called three ancient and three new."
"The so-called three ancients and three new in Chinese style are ancient poetry, ancient culture, and ancient melody. Three ancients, right? New singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts. It is a unique pop music style that is completely unique to China."
“A whole new genre.”
Han Zhou has already come on stage: "Don't introduce it too exaggeratedly."
Lin Xiaoxing was very serious: "It's worth it! Next up, 'A Thousand Miles Away'!"
The song information was given on the big screen.
Even without watching the show, the audience knows that Han Zhou takes on too much responsibility.
However, everyone was still stunned when they saw the information.
Thousand Miles Away
Lyrics and composition: Han Zhou
Singer: Han Zhou, Lin Xiaoxing
Pipa: Liu Dehai, Guzheng: Fang Jinhong, Erhu: Song Fei!
There were so many industry insiders, music critics, and celebrities at the scene.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath when I saw the list.
Liu Dehai, a pipa master , is one of the four great string musicians in China.
Song Fei, erhu master, is one of the four great string musicians in China.
Fang Jinhong, the king of traditional string instruments, is known as the two masters of Eastern and Western string instruments together with the guitarist of the 147 band.
These three people come to compose the music for the same song?
It is worthy of being called Wuliuba, a concert organized by four of the top and most popular singers in the country.
Very strong.
Han Zhou on the stage was wearing a white suit and black trousers.
After playing the role of a monk, Han Zhou shaved off his long hair that he had when he played Xing and turned it into a buzz cut, which has not grown back yet.
So, when singing this song, Han Zhou specially put on a hat that was full of sense of the times.
Han Zhou, wearing a hat, beat the rhythm to the prelude.
When the music sounded, the audience just thought it sounded nice, but the musicians were confused.
ah?
chimes?!
The prelude is chimes? Are you kidding? Is this such a big deal? Is it so fierce?
Then, the guzheng and erhu entered at the same time, and at the same time, keyboard, bass, drums and Western music also sounded.
The richness of the prelude alone is enough to overwhelm 90% of the songs in the music industry.
Of course, the audience has no idea how powerful it is, they just know that it sounds good.
Han Zhou: "The eaves are like cliffs.
Wind chimes like the ocean
I'm waiting for Yan to come back
Time is arranged
Act out an accident
You walked away quietly..."
Each sentence has five words, and the rhyme and rhythm are very similar to poetry. However, the segmentation is not poetry, but a technique of ci.
When the audience first hears this style, a fresh feeling comes over them.
However, while it is fresh, it also has a strong Chinese flavor.
No one could have imagined that something with such Chinese characteristics would give people a sense of freshness. Is this the Three Ancient and Three New Chinese style?
"The story is outside the city
The thick fog won't clear
Can't understand the dialogue
You can't hear
The sound of wind does not exist
I'm feeling
Who is on the windowsill when I wake up from the dream?
Open the ending
The future that is as thin as a cicada's wing
I can’t stand anyone! Come and tear it down~”
Many people feel that this style seems very strong, and the song itself is extremely pleasant to the ear.
Many singers and creators were secretly frightened at this time.
Creating a new style of music is a very difficult task, and many times a situation may arise.
That is, when professionals hear it, they feel blown away and their level of cognition is completely overturned.
But at the same time, fans felt nothing after listening to the song, thinking it was neither bad nor good.
However, a new style of music that makes professionals feel explosive in terms of music theory and sounds good at the same time is a very powerful thing.
This marks the full maturity of the style.
The first song of a new style of music is directly fully mature. This is just like the first time Mr. Lu wrote a new vernacular novel. The world's first new vernacular novel "Diary of a Madman" was directly ranked among the top three in the hundred-year history of new vernacular novels, and the impact it gave to other authors was exactly the same.
It's like a company developed a new means of transportation called a car. This first car in history, whether in terms of starting speed, balance, handling, comfort, or interior, would rank among the top three in the next hundred years.
This feeling is quite explosive.
As soon as many professionals at the scene heard "Thousand Miles Away", they knew that this was the birth of a classic that would be passed down for many years.
Mountain Monster BUFF, classic BUFF, two buffs combined into one, invincible.
"Is it so scary that they would bring out a new work of this level at a concert?"
However, they had no idea of how horrific this song would be!
Lin Xiaoxing: "I will take you away, thousands of miles away
You are silent black and white~"
At the scene, many people felt goosebumps suddenly appearing.
Those professionals were simply dumbfounded.
Lin Xiaoxing's singing style is similar to bel canto, tolerant, mellow, and gentle like jade, just like a modest gentleman.
It forms a sharp contrast and contrast with Han Zhou's popular singing style.
The stimulation brought to the audience by the two contrasts is too strong.
Lin Xiaoxing's way of singing this song is different from the way he sings love songs; it's softer, smoother and more harmonious.
It gives people a feeling that their ears have eaten ice cream.
The two exchanged parts, and once again it was Lin Xiaoxing's turn: "A suit of glazed white
Transparent with dust
Your flawless love
You came from the rain
Poetry of sorrow
I’m soaking wet now…”
This time, the audience felt the contrast from Lin Xiaoxing's singing style to Han Zhou's singing style.
Han Zhou just stood there, giving people a very cool feeling, so cool: "Hibiscus water surface
The shadow of the boat is still there
You didn't come back
Covered by years
You said the flowers are blooming
The past is a blank..."
Switching from Lin Xiaoxing's singing style to Han Zhou's singing style gives this beautiful song a popular and cool feel.
The strong contrast did not create a sense of tearing, but rather seemed like a match made in heaven!
The audience simply couldn’t get enough and were rapt.
Han Zhou: "I will send you away from the end of the world
Are you still
Where does the sound of the piano come from? Life and death are hard to guess
Spend a lifetime..."
The sound paused and the birds began singing.
The audience was shocked; the two people's singing seemed to tell a story from a very old time.
Lin Xiaoxing: "I will take you away, thousands of miles away
You are silent black and white
The silent era, perhaps it shouldn’t
Love is too far away! "
Han Zhou: "I'll send you away, beyond the horizon
Are you still
Where does the piano sound come from? "
Lin Xiaoxing: "Life and death are hard to guess."
The two looked at each other, smiled and sang the last line: "Spend a lifetime waiting."
This song should only exist in heaven, how often can we hear it in the world?
It’s not about how good the rap is, but does a song of this style really exist in the world?
The combination of Chinese and Western music is not something that no one has ever done before.
Many years ago, when An Lan's grandmother's generation was writing songs, they tried to use Chinese musical instruments to make electronic music.
Later, some people tried to use Western instruments to create ancient music.
Many people have succeeded.
However, this is the first time that a work has been produced that is so well integrated, giving people a strong sense of antiquity and at the same time a strong sense of freshness.
Backstage, Chen Feng looked at Zhang Ceyong: "This guy has the same style as you."
Zhang Ceyong nodded.
Zhang Ceyong's style is that he has no fixed style and has developed many new music styles.
Han Zhou also has this style.
Therefore, if Han Zhou wants to move up, he must challenge Zhang Ceyong and become the strongest king in the Chinese entertainment industry.
However, Zhang Ceyong is only less than 38 years old this year.
He said he was thirty-eight, but in fact he was two years older.
Are you going to hand over the baton now?
Chen Feng was also watching Zhang Ceyong's reaction.
But Chen Feng did not expect Zhang Ceyong's reaction.
"At the beginning, the world I saw was too small, so my talent is limited and I can only go this far."
“And Han Zhou has seen a lot of the world. Even if he has the same talent as me, he will eventually go much higher than me.”
"I can be the most powerful pop star in China, and he can compete to be the most powerful pop star in the world."
Chen Feng retreated tactically: "Ah?"
Zhang Ceyong looked towards the stage: "There will always be someone who will go. As the wheel of history rolls forward, there will always be a Chinese who will become a world superstar."
"Maybe, it's Han Zhou?"
"If he fails, he has paved the way for others to come."
"He doesn't have to follow my old path."
Chen Feng smiled: "You are really generous and you think bigger."
Zhang Ceyong smiled: "It would be nice if he followed my path, at least he wouldn't be alone."
Chen Feng was silent.
The road ahead…
Where is the future of rock music?
Han Zhou is now the number one in movie box office and has broken the TV ratings record that had been dormant for many years.
In film and television, he has gone further than Zhang Ceyong.
If he releases two or three albums, he will be the second Zhang Ceyong, or even surpass Zhang Ceyong.
Chen Feng woke up in shock, you bastard, you are trying to snatch the successor from me, right?
It was obviously me who came here first!
Chen Feng took a deep breath and made sure to sing the next song he sang with Han Zhou well!
After Han Zhou finished singing, he walked off the stage amid the audience's cheers.
Zhang Ceyong went on stage to sing with Lin Xiaoxing.
Then Chen Feng came on stage, and the three of them sang together. Then Zhang Ceyong left the stage, and Chen Feng and Lin Xiaoxing sang together.
When the chorus ended, Lin Xiaoxing had completed most of his personal mission and stepped off the stage to rest.
Chen Feng began to sing his personal songs.
There was no fan who didn't know how to sing Chen Feng's songs, and the whole event turned into a chorus.
Han Zhou was under the stage, embarrassing Aunt Mao for the second time.
Aunt Mao: "You can't wear this black skull short-sleeved shirt with a pair of blue trousers and leather shoes, right?"
Han Zhou: "It's quite hot in this weather, aren't short sleeves just right?"
Aunt Mao: “…”
Aunt Mao gave up and turned to look at the stage: "Have you ever thought about the scene where one day you sing on the stage and the whole audience sings together?"
Han Zhou shook his head.
You will never see this kind of scene in your life unless you pay more money.
A person's life is long, but also short. Han Zhou's limited singing opportunities are almost all reserved for new songs.
Singing the same song a second time? Unless it's a completely different cover version, or... the organizer offers a lot of money.
Who could say no to the fact that he gave so much?
Aunt Mao had nothing to do but put a pair of sunglasses on Han Zhou. "Flat head, skull T-shirt, blue trousers, leather shoes. Well, he looks more like a psychopath. But with these sunglasses, he looks more like a pretentious person."
"This is much better."
In the entertainment industry, being accused of sensationalism is better than being called a moron, right?
After Aunt Mao started working with Han Zhou, she felt her career was challenged every other day.
But Aunt Mao couldn't refuse because Han Zhou gave her so much.
Director: "Teacher Han, please come on stage."
"Come on, five, four, three..."
On stage, Chen Feng: "I haven't been this happy in a long, long time."
“I am really happy to hold a concert with so many good friends.”
“I am really happy to have so many fans come to the concert.”
"And what makes me even happier is that in the past few years, a rock talent has finally emerged."
"He is!"
Chen Feng handed over the microphone.
Audience: “I don’t know!”
Chen Feng: “…”
The audience laughed.
It's obvious that Han Zhou's fans who love fun did it on purpose.
Chen Feng was not angry and asked again: "He is it!!"
Audience: “I don’t!! know!!”
Chen Feng: “…”
"Stop it, if you come again, he is the one!!!"
Audience: “I won’t tell you!!!”
Chen Feng laughed loudly: "Forget it, everyone is here."
"This time, Han Zhou wrote a lot of new songs for the May 68th Yanjing concert."
“And this next one is my favorite one.”
Chen Feng: "Have you ever slept under a bridge? I have."
"Have you ever pedaled a clattering bicycle across the endless wilderness? I have."
"Have you ever dreamed of your childhood dreams in the middle of the night?"
"Your youth and mine are different, but our youth are also the same."
"One song..." Chen Feng said, looking at Han Zhou.
Han Zhou tilted his head and continued: "I don't know."
The audience laughed.
Who would believe that the new song written by Han Zhou is called "I Don't Know"? Han Zhou must be making a joke!
Although the fans are just playing memes and it is unprofessional for the performers to do so on stage, who says this is Han Zhou?
Chen Feng's face darkened: "In spring."
Han Zhou: "Then in spring."
The classic singing comes out before the accompaniment.
Chen Feng: "I still remember the spring many years ago
I hadn't cut my long hair yet.
No credit card and no her
Home without 24-hour hot water
But I was so happy at that time
Even though I only have a broken guitar
In the streets, under the bridges, in the fields
Singing the song that no one cares about! "
Which of Chen Feng's fans is not a twenty-year-old rock fan? If not, then it must be thirty years.
"Spring" exploded like a thunderclap.
To be honest, Han Zhou has sung "Existence" before, but the profound aspects of "Existence" may not resonate with all fans.
But "Spring" is different.
Spring is a song that will make old people cry, middle-aged people feel dazed, and young people feel excited.
Han Zhou: "If one day, I am old and have no one to rely on
Please keep me in that time
If one day, I leave quietly
Please bury me in this spring!"
The fans at the scene were so excited that their ears were bursting.
This is a song you want to sing along with once you hear it, but! This is the first release of a new song, and the fans can’t sing it!
It was impossible to sing along with this kind of dry excitement, it all turned into roars.
Many fans who paid a lot of money to listen to the songs were broken-hearted.
Because near them, someone was saying: “Ohhhhhhhhh!!!”
"ah!!!"
"Han Zhou!!"
Since when did Han Zhou have such irrational fans? Wasn't the female fan expelled from the fan club? Oh, male fans? That's fine.
In the audience, a middle-aged man sighed: "I often wonder, if Chen Feng gets hit by a car one day, whose songs will I be able to listen to in the future? Well, now I don't have to worry about it."
A friend who has also been a fan for 20 years complained: "Chen Feng wants to hit someone after hearing this."
The middle-aged man looked towards the stage and said, "Chen Feng...he must be worried about this too."
Friend: "Well, don't worry about it anymore."
How could Chen Feng on the stage know this? Chen Feng was still singing: "Remember those lonely springs?"
I didn't have a beard yet.
No Valentine's Day and no gifts
Without my lovely little princess
But I don't think it's that bad.
Although I only have fantasies about love
In the morning at night in the wind
Singing the song that no one cares about..."
Although Chen Feng is an old bachelor, he has no problem singing this piece.
Because this is the voice for music fans, the voice of a certain group of people, not your own voice.
Although this behavior is not rock and roll.
However, the behavior of not rocking is itself rocking!
While singing, Chen Feng gradually put down the microphone and walked around the stage.
The sound suddenly became very distant and empty:"
Maybe one day, I will be old and helpless.
Please keep me in that time
If one day, I leave quietly
Please bury me, in this spring, in this spring..."
Han Zhou on the stage took off his sunglasses and threw them into the crowd of fans: "Gazing at the blooming spring at this moment
Still as warm as it was then
I cut my hair and grew a beard
All the pains of the past are gone with the wind
But I feel so sad
The years have left me with a deeper confusion
In this sunny spring
I can't help but shed tears! "
The lyrics of this song are long, but it is so smooth to sing.
How much sincerity is needed to be able to sing rock and roll like this?
Rock music itself sometimes doesn’t pay much attention to these things, doesn’t pay much attention to rules, doesn’t pay much attention to rhythm, doesn’t pay much attention to musicality, doesn’t pay much attention to anything.
However, at certain times, being particular, being particular about everything, is also a kind of respect for one's own attitude.
Han Zhou and Chen Feng each said, "Maybe one day, I..."
'Please leave me here...'
"Please keep me here, in the spring, in the spring!"
When Han Zhou and Chen Feng finished singing, Chen Feng's eyes were already filled with tears.
If I had known that rock music would be like this now, I would have died in the spring.
Why live till this winter?
I could have gone and laid down until today, it didn't matter anyway.
But Han Zhou held up a gesture that rock and roll is immortal.
Why didn't Han Zhou write pop rock for Chen Feng? Why didn't he write classic rock for Chen Feng, but wrote songs like "The Train is Leaving"?
Because Han Zhou knows deeply that once music loses its diversity, it will be close to death.
Chen Feng is very good at writing songs, but he can write songs that are liked by tens of millions of people, but he cannot write songs that are liked by another million people.
So, Han Zhou always wrote rock songs of different styles for Chen Feng.
But Han Zhou himself is also a rock fan.
After the audience was restless for a full thirty seconds, someone finally shouted, "Why in the spring? Isn't summer suitable?!"
It's summer now. It's so hot. I feel like dying. Wouldn't it be nice to be buried in the summer?
Han Zhou: "Summer is not suitable for burying people, but it is suitable for burying little secrets."
In the other direction, someone yelled, "Where's Autumn?"
Han Zhou: "Let the autumn wind take away my thoughts and tears."
"Let's live until next spring and bury him!"
On the second floor, there was a fierce man who shouted, "You didn't even mention winter!"
Chen Feng's fans have a tacit understanding: "There is a fire in the winter!"
Han Zhou: "Okay, let's go ahead and order the songs you guys ordered. Brother Feng's next song is "A Fire in the Winter". I'm going to go get some water."
Wang Chuyang turned to look at Lin Jianqiu: "Do you want to blow it up?"
Lin Jianqiu: "One day I will sing a rock song at a concert like this and drive the audience crazy."
Wang Chuyang turned to the other side and saw Wang Xiya in a daze.
Wang Chuyang whispered: "What are you thinking about?"
Wang Xiya: "I'm wondering what to name the little princess... huh?"
Wang Xiya turned her head and stared at Wang Chuyang with sharp eyes.
Wang Chuyang: "Oh, these fans are so noisy, what did you say?"
