Chapter 247 The Chinese style that has gradually become a [cultural phenomenon]

"Chinese Style" is on fire!
This album quickly set off a storm called "Chinese Style" during the National Day holiday.

In particular, the two songs "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Red Ling" almost entered the charts at a flashing speed.

F4's "Meteor Shower", Hu Jing's "Love's Support", Sun Yanzi's "Green Light" and "Little Lucky", Jay Chou's "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Red Dust Inn", Wang Lihong's "Only", Leo Ku's "I Want" I really want to".

Including several old songs of Cao Xuan's "Bright Stars", as well as several popular new songs released in September.

Yang Qianhua "Wild Child"

Yuquan "Deep Breath"

"I'm Really Hurt" and "If This Isn't Love" by Zhang Tianwang

【SHE】First Album "Lovers Are Not Full"

Na Young "Let's Smile"

Shuimunianhua "I Have You in My Life"

Among these people, Yuquan is a popular singer in the mainland in the past two years, and he is already regarded as a front-line singer. Shuimunianhua is slightly less famous and influential than Yuquan, but it should not be underestimated.

Yang Qianhua is a young female singer who has been relatively successful in Hong Kong in recent years.

Even when the Hong Kong music scene declines in the future, she is one of the few people in the Hong Kong music scene who can carry the flag with Eason Chan and Joey Yung, and "Wild Child" is her masterpiece.

Naying doesn't need to say much, although she has been rubbed and beaten by Cao Xuan, she seems to be very annoying.

But in reality, she is considered to be one of the few mainland singers with commercial performance and top-tier Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities.

Although the albums in the past two years have not reached the height of "Conquer" at the beginning, they have also achieved stable results and sold well, firmly occupying the position after the first day of popularity in the mainland.

【SHE】Actually, judging from their achievements and fame, they are considered the weakest of this group of singers. They were almost left out because of the 911 incident when the album was released.

But in the end, he survived, and not long after his debut, he broke the shackles of many Taiwanese artists, and successfully attracted a certain degree of small attention in the mainland.

So although it is not worth mentioning now, considering the follow-up commercial potential, it is the strongest among this group of singers.

As for Zhang Tianwang, to be honest, now Li and Guo seldom directly participate in the music competition.

Model worker Liu Tianwang has been releasing songs steadily, and his competitiveness is regarded as the first echelon. On the contrary, Zhang Tianwang, although he also releases songs, has little desire for competition. In the past few songs have been lukewarm.

However, this year's two title songs are of good quality and easily made it to the list, regaining a bit of the heroic appearance of the four heavenly kings.

honestly. The quality of the new songs in September was very good. It once formed a fierce competition with the previous top songs.

However, at the beginning of October, Cao Xuan's "Chinese Style" will be released.

As soon as "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Red Actress" were on the list, they took the [-]th and [-]th positions respectively at the beginning.

Then facing the ass of the song on the top, he rushed all the way crazy.

Songs that were not ranked in the top ten had no room for resistance at all, and songs that were not ranked in the top five were able to hold on for a while, but they were quickly defeated.

The two songs went crazy, blood flowed all the way.

Not to mention those outsiders, even Cao Xuan's own songs were not spared. He first slaughtered the songs of "Bright Stars" and "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow", and then began to besiege "Dongfeng Po".

On October 10th, "Blue and White Porcelain" defeated "Meteor Shower" and ranked second, officially launching an impact on "Dongfeng Po" at the top of the list.

For the first time, there was a large-scale "split" among Cao Xuan's fans because of the ranking of songs.

In the past three years on the charts, Cao Xuan's fans have beaten Ren Xianqi, defeated Naying and Xie Feng, competed with Wang Fei and Zhang Huimei, and competed with the four kings.

Last year's battle of killing the list and conferring the gods was almost a battle against the entire music scene.

In order to play the rankings on demand, the pocket money and even the meal money were charged to the phone bill, bombarding the on-demand numbers of radio stations and TV stations 24 hours a day, his voice became hoarse, and he called on relatives and friends to help Cao Xuan make the rankings.

Cao Xuan's reputation is not only sung by himself, but also with the help of fans all the way.

The brilliant record made Cao Xuan's fans proudly independent in the fan group, already a bit domineering like "I don't speak first when spring comes, which bug dares to make a sound".

However, now that Cao Xuan's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, many times he doesn't need to deliberately hit the charts, and can get excellent results just by relying on his fan base and huge popularity.

Not only did Cao Xuan feel a little "how lonely being invincible", the fans were also bored.

Also for National Day, Xiangjiang's Xie Feng also released an album, and the title song "Perfume" landed on the charts.

Excited Cao Xuan fans are gearing up, ready to focus on exporting old enemies.

In the end, Xie Feng didn't know whether it was because of the quality, or because he arranged the main battleground to Xiangjiang, and didn't focus on promoting the song in mainland China.

The enthusiasm of Cao Xuan's fans was poured into the water, almost flashing his waist.

I don’t know if it’s because of poverty or boredom, but suddenly there was an "infighting" internally. Some people supported "Blue and White Porcelain" to enter the list, and some people supported "Dongfeng Po" to defend the competition.

Our own people fought with our own people.

Supporters of "Dongfeng Po" feel that this song is the foundation of the Chinese style, and the lyrics, music, rhythm, and sound are all excellent.

Fans who like the song "Blue and White Porcelain" think that the song, tempo, and sound are all excellent, and the lyrics are even more amazing. It is the true pinnacle of Chinese style.

Some of these fans are bored, some follow the rhythm, and some are really advocating for their favorite songs. There are many discussion posts on the Internet.

After all, everyone likes the same singer and the same style. Many people even like two songs, but they prefer one of them.

This is also very common in the original time and space. About "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Dongfeng Po" who is the representative of the Chinese style is almost a daily topic for Jay Chou fans.

It's not just the fans who are noisy, some music critics also have different opinions on these two songs.

In contrast, most people in the industry prefer "Dongfeng Po", but "Blue and White Porcelain" has more loyalists.

Ordinary fans argue because they just stick to their own ideas and may not be able to output any effective opinions, but professionals are different, internal debates are more intense, and the things they come up with are also organized.

In addition to fans and music critics, even many people from other industries joined in the fun.

A collector and folklore research expert named Ma Weidu picked out the common-sense mistakes in the lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain".

It is impossible for the Hanli and Song style inscriptions in the two sentences of "The book on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty" and "I copied the inscription in Song style but thought of you" to appear on blue and white porcelain.

As soon as this remark came out, many people were dissatisfied immediately. Some people thought that he was trying to catch Cao Xuan's popularity, find fault with him, and deliberately grab people's attention.

Some people think that Cao Xuan may have made some intellectual mistakes, but he may not be knowledgeable. This kind of unpopular knowledge is unknown to many people, which is understandable.

On a large scale, the popularity of this matter is not high, but Cao Xuan still responded positively in a variety show on Beijing TV.

"In fact, I have checked the information on this issue, and there are indeed cultural common sense issues, not only the inscriptions in Han Li and Song style proposed by this expert, but also the sentence "the sky is waiting for the misty rain, and I am waiting for you" a mistake.

Blue-and-white porcelain has no azure color, and the azure color is greener, and it appears more in Ru kiln. If there is a comparison, the title of this song should not be "Blue and White Porcelain", but Ru kiln.

And according to the actual situation, after the rain is over, it should not be the sky blue to wait for the misty rain. There is a timeline misalignment here, and it is also for the effect of the lyrics.

Therefore, the reason why I still insist on writing in this way after knowing that there are obvious mistakes is mainly to fight against rhymes and shape the overall artistic conception and hazy beauty of the lyrics.

Most of the time, our lyrics are more artistic, and we pay more attention to imagery and implication. The logic and plot of many words cannot be unified with reality.

Of course, if it has caused trouble to some people, I would like to express my apologies. In future creations, I will work harder to find a balance between music and words, and try to be as real as possible. "

In addition to explaining these, Cao Xuan also thanked Ma Weidu and felt that it would be good to bring up these mistakes so as not to mislead the public, and appealed to everyone to learn more about traditional Chinese culture.

Cao Xuan generously admitted his mistakes, and explained the reason for such creation from an artistic point of view.

This statement has been recognized by many people. Indeed, as Cao Xuan said, many of these films, songs, paintings, literature and other creations have artistic additions, and exaggeration is normal.

If you really want to be serious, then there are countless slots in any work.

For example, the geographical location in the four famous novels "Water Margin" is simply horrible, and the various performing arts plots of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can make the historical parties vomit blood with anger.

No work can be perfect. If you want to highlight something, you will inevitably have to sacrifice something.

Ma Weidu also responded afterwards, saying that he only looked at it from the point of view of the collection industry, because they pay more attention to the authenticity of porcelain when they collect.

In a sense, he is using his own industry standards to flaunt the standards of others.

For Cao Xuan's explanation, Ma Wei expressed his approval, and strongly praised Cao Xuan's efforts in promoting Chinese traditional culture.

But aside from this point, after this wave of operations, Lao Ma's reputation among the public has doubled several times, and he has begun to move from the collection circle to the front stage.

Others also saw the benefits of this wave of enthusiasm, and many cultural figures also entered the venue one after another, analyzing and studying various Chinese-style songs such as "Blue and White Porcelain" from various angles.

It is said that there are also professors of the Chinese Department who directly took a few songs to the university classroom, analyzed the allusions and the use of words, and even picked out some grammatical errors in a few songs.

Even middle school teachers joined in the fun, planning to use "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Dongfeng Po" to produce papers for students to take exams.

The concept of Chinoiserie has become more and more popular, and even gradually transformed from a pop music trend to a cultural phenomenon...
