Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 301 Advantages and Disadvantages of Cantonese Songs
First: The pronunciation system is too complicated, and northerners cannot understand it. In most provinces and cities south of the Yangtze River, Cantonese has not become popular, which makes the dissemination and promotion of Cantonese music difficult.

Second: Cantonese’s complex and changeable pronunciation rules and the exquisite and elegant words and sentences make many people retreat. On the other hand, the development of mainland music and the impact of European and American music have given the public more choices. Under such circumstances, the promotion and dissemination of Cantonese songs will become more and more difficult.

Liu Wei said a lot of eloquent words, Yu Dongqing listened carefully, and he was quite to the point. It seems that this guy really did his homework.

But Huang Qihui was not happy when he heard it, and immediately retorted: "Mr. Liu, the Cantonese pronunciation system is complicated. This is not his shortcoming but his advantage! The reason why Cantonese songs are good is because of the Cantonese tone system and pronunciation structure. There are 19 consonants and 56 consonants in total. The final vowel also includes Cantonese with nine tones and six tones, as well as its own unique way of saying and using words, and its charm is much stronger than your so-called Mandarin songs!"

Huang Qihui's words immediately won the approval of Xiangjiang musicians, you actually called the advantages of Cantonese songs as disadvantages.

Liu Wei's words did not show weakness, and argued hard, saying that this is the truth, and you have to admit it.

All of a sudden, the meeting room became lively, vying to evolve into a Mandarin song or a Cantonese song, which is better?In the end, the three musicians from Li Wanwan also joined in, and the conference room suddenly became lively.

Yu Dongqing didn't get involved.

He doesn't like this kind of emotional quarrel very much, it's boring.

Since the communication is not calm?

Look at that Huang Qihui, like a fighting cock.

Feeling bored, Yu Dongqing took out her phone.

Xia Wenxi, as the host of the meeting, of course would not tolerate the meeting room being like a vegetable market, and immediately stopped everyone's emotional debate, and the meeting room immediately fell silent.

Liu Weici was overwhelmed, so he took the opportunity to take a breath, took another sip of water and noticed that Yu Dongqing, who hadn't said a word just now, was playing with his mobile phone.

In fact, Yu Dongqing didn't play with her mobile phone, but the teacher in the parent group sent some pictures and videos of the class, and one part was sent to him privately.

In the video, Yu Tongtong didn't pay attention to the lecture in class and whispered to Xia Yunxing at the same table, but was found out by the teacher and criticized by name.

In the other part, Yu Tongtong fought with Xia Yunxing again, and they made each other cry without exception.

Yu Dongqing looked at it and sighed.

fail.
Fortunately, now I have a good relationship with Xia Yunxing's father, and I won't worry that the other party will come to my door.

Of course, in the private chat on WeChat, Yu Dongqing still apologized to the teacher, saying that he would discipline his daughter strictly.

Liu Weici tapped Yu Dongqing's arm lightly: "Hey, Dongqing, help me."

Yu Dongqing put down her phone, although she usually thought that Liu Weici was a bad person, but at this time she had to say a few words for him.

Huang Qihui, who was sitting across from him, noticed Liu Weici's little gesture. He looked at Yu Dongqing with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yu, how many Cantonese songs have you written? They are different from those who have never written Cantonese songs. Cantonese songs are better than Mandarin songs. I think you have a deep understanding of the advantages of it?"

Ah?
This guy is very, never forgetting to hurt others.

You are right, Cantonese songs do have some advantages over Mandarin songs in terms of tunes, but I don't like your tone of voice now.

Yu Dongqing smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, I just want to ask you a question. You said Cantonese songs have many advantages, but why are they not as popular as Mandarin songs?!"

Huang Qihui's face suddenly became ugly.

It hurts my heart.

No matter how fancy you are, Cantonese songs are limited to Guangdong and Xiangjiang.

No matter how popular Cantonese songs are and how many fans and listeners there are in the mainland, they are still not as popular as Mandarin songs.

Moreover, this trend is becoming more and more obvious, and the scope of Cantonese songs in the mainland market is shrinking day by day.

This is an indisputable fact, but Xiangjiang musicians are unwilling to admit it.

"As a song in a small language, he has inherent disadvantages, just like what Mr. Liu said just now, there is no solution to this."

As musicians, how to maximize strengths and circumvent weaknesses so that Cantonese songs can continue to prosper and not decline is what we urgently need to consider instead of fighting for Mandarin or Cantonese songs, which is meaningless. "

After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, the conference room was silent.

"Mr. Yu." As the host, Xia Wenxi took over the topic and asked, "How do you think Cantonese songs can be kept prosperous!"

"First, strive to produce high-quality goods! Everyone understands this, so there is no need to say more. Second, expand the content of Cantonese songs, not just limited to love, love, love songs, you can write about family and country feelings, and life philosophy!"

What Yu Dongqing admires most is the classic Cantonese songs created by the older generation of musicians in Xiangjiang, which are full of national, national and humanistic feelings.

Cantonese songs in this time and space are a bit lacking in this.

"In addition, the types of Cantonese songs have also expanded. It can't always be popular songs. Folk songs and rock types can all be written in Cantonese!"

"Writing rock and roll in Cantonese? Mr. Yu, are you right?" Huang Qihui took over the conversation, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Why can't Cantonese songs be written about rock?" Yu Dongqing asked seriously.

"Mr. Yu, I know that you are very fond of folk songs and rock, but it is undeniable that both in the mainland and Hong Kong are niche, otherwise how could there be no foothold in Hong Kong?"

"No place to stand?" Yu Dongqing sneered: "That's because I haven't created folk songs and rock songs that belong to Cantonese songs! Especially rock!"

As soon as Yu Dongqing finished speaking, the Xiangjiang musicians sitting opposite were a little agitated. Doesn't this mean that these Xiangjiang musicians can't write Cantonese rock?
Actually, not much.

"Mr. Yu, did you write Cantonese rock?" Huang Qihui asked.

"I'm trying to write." Yu Dongqing's face was calm.

"Then I respectfully ask Mr. Yu to finish writing as soon as possible, and I will listen with all my ears." Huang Qihui sneered.

Yu Dongqing smiled slightly, but did not answer.

The whole day's seminar and exchange meeting ended, although it was generally flat, but Yu Dongqing's speech still caused some sensation.

Soon the TV network reported the content of the exchange.

"The Cantonese pronunciation system is too complicated, and it is difficult to spread and promote Cantonese music."

"Cantonese's complex and changeable pronunciation rules and the exquisite and elegant words and sentences make it more difficult to create, which is not conducive to the development and growth of Cantonese."

Yu Dongqing's views have been disclosed on the Internet, and there are some praisers and more critics.

Of course, many people even scoff at creating Cantonese-style rock.

Creation is difficult.

Whether the creation sounds good or not is even more difficult.

Huang Qihui has always adhered to this point of view.
