Chapter 284 Music Criticism Debate, Cyber ​​Yue Lao

A few days later, "Chinese Song Festival" (recording and broadcast) was broadcast on TV and aroused even greater repercussions.

At this time, in addition to the god-level scene, more people began to pay attention to the quality of the two songs "Confession Balloon" and "Xingqing".

We know from the popularity of their previous lives that these two songs are very popular and are among the sweet songs that the public likes to listen to the most.

Although the world has changed, music is the common language of the world (Wilson), and most listeners, whether they are fans or not, still like these two songs.

So in the video of the concert, when it comes to these two songs, the barrage densely covers the entire screen, turning it into a confession wall——

[Zhang Xiaodong, I like you! 】

[Peng Lili, Class [-], Grade [-], let’s be together after graduation, okay? 】

[Confess to Liu Xiangting if you get 100 likes! 】

【Help every dream of life and death. 】

【Paulie will always love Brother Niu! 】

[Zhang Lei (Love) Li Pengyu]

【etc! What was going on in the barrage just now? 】

Block all the barrage of these confessions, and the barrage will be sparse, and you can see the comments on the song:
  [I was shocked by the confession. These two songs are simply aphrodisiacs for the soul. Listening to them makes me want to fall in love. 】

[These two songs must not be listened to when you are single. They are too heart-wrenching. They are simply a song about dog abuse. 】

[Stop talking, I used to smile very sweetly, but now I can’t laugh anymore. Why is love so sweet, but I am suffering alone? 】

[I bet that Su Zhe is definitely in love. The songs he writes are full of the sour smell of love and no longer have the fragrance of being single. 】

[The previously released "Just Love You" is also a sweet song. There are already three sweet songs in this album. 】

[It’s not like all 12 songs are super sweet love songs, right? Then this album should be called "Diabetes". After listening to it, I will fall ill. 】

[It’s called “All you singles, come and see my super sweet love”! 】

【Wang! 】

Although there is some ridicule in the comments, it can be seen that most listeners like these two songs.

But in art criticism, the public is often the group with the least say, and even popularity can be considered a negative buff.

——I have the same preferences as the public, so am I still considered an elite?

As a result, some music critics came forward to criticize Su Zhe.

They didn't dare to talk about music theory anymore, knowing that they couldn't understand it better than Su Zhe, so they started to find fault with their singing skills:
  [The enunciation is unclear. Has Su Zhe's singing skills declined to this extent? 】

[If it weren’t for the lyrics and subtitles, I wouldn’t be able to understand what Su Zhe sang. 】

[Su Zhe only focused on balloons and fireworks, but forgot the most important part of the song. 】

【Really disappointed me. 】

The pronunciation problem they mentioned does exist because the two songs Su Zhe sang happened to be Jay Chou's songs.

In his previous life, Jay Chou was criticized for his unclear enunciation since his debut, and was even nicknamed "stammering".

In this regard, Jay Chou explained that he treats the human voice as an instrument that must be integrated with the melody, so the words cannot be pronounced too clearly, otherwise it will be a bit abrupt.

Moreover, Wanwan accent originally likes legato sounds, such as "Wo Xuan伱", "Jiang Zi", etc.

Melodic fusion plus legato, of course the sum total is not very clear.

When Su Zhe sang the cover, he considered changing it, and even sang a version with clear pronunciation. It was still good, but just not as good as the original version.

So after trying several times, he still chose Jay Chou's singing style, but he didn't have a crooked accent and his enunciation was clearer than Jay Chou's.

But even so, he was criticized by music critics for being unclear.

Su Zhe didn't respond at all.

On the contrary, You Mengli was a little angry and said on Weibo:
  [When singers try to pioneer exploration, there are always some people pretending to be sophisticated and sarcastic. 】

There are also music critics who want to argue with her, saying that she has no brains to protect Su Zhe, and scolding her for being love-brained.

So You Mengli posted several Weibo posts in a row:

[Richard Strauss said: The-human-voice-is-the-most-beautiful-instrument-of-all, but-it-is-the-most-difficult-to-play (human voice) is the best instrument, but the hardest to play). 】

[This is called instrumentalization of the human voice, that is, the human voice can follow the melody line or step on the rhythm points like an instrument, and form a state of joint performance with other instruments. 】

[When I was exploring the instrumentalization of the human voice, I found that Chinese and English are different. The latter can be read together (for example, "not-at-all" can be read together as "Naotaitao"), which is easier to process; but Chinese needs to be properly processed. Only when the words are pronounced vaguely and the words are as continuous as possible can it be successfully transformed into an instrumental music. 】

[Of course, in addition to pronunciation, there are more tricks. For example, Su Zhe uses modal particles to connect the pronunciation and melody when he sings high notes. The choice of modal particles must conform to...]

You Mengli spoke so professionally that the music critic shut up after being refuted and had no idea how to refute.

The passers-by watching the battle were also stunned and exclaimed:
  [You Mengli is so professional! 】

[As expected of a talented musician, she is so amazing and so talented! 】

【Her Royal Highness competes in the competition! 】

[The whole beating was too cruel...]

You Mengli is very humble:

[Everyone is exaggerating. I am just exploring, but Su Zhe has already released mature songs. He is a great musician! 】

After Su Zhe saw it, he replied to her with six key points:
  【…】

It means: You are overthinking, I just sang according to the original version, I don’t know anything about vocal instrumentalization, you are the master.

He even suspected that Jay Chou didn't think so much, but just instinctively felt that singing this way sounded better.

(This is not to disparage Jay Chou. He himself said, "The principle is to listen to what sounds good." In fact, relying on instinct requires more talent, and studying theory is the way for mortals to approach genius.)
  But You Mengli felt that Su Zhe meant:

Does it need to be explained if it’s so simple? You have nothing to do?
  The onlookers thought the same thing, and felt that Su Zhe had higher theoretical attainments, but he was just too lazy to explain it to mediocre people.

[High, really high! 】

[I thought You Mengli was powerful enough, but I didn’t expect this person to be even more unpredictable than You Mengli. Whose general is this? 】

[I have said it many times, music critics should not criticize Su Zhe arbitrarily. You are still on the first level, he is on the fifth level, and now You Mengli on the third level has defeated you. 】

[I don’t have a long memory, so I got slapped in the face again, right? 】

While everyone is laughing at the music critics, You Mengli’s fans are paying attention:
  [Wait a minute, You Mengli has a very "little" personality. She doesn't even talk back when she's bullied or scolded. Why are you so excited today? 】

[The first time I saw You Mengli quarreling on Weibo, I felt very uncomfortable. 】

[Why is she so excited about Su Zhe? 】

Fans had a bad feeling.

Fans of butter cake CP are extremely excited:
  ["You can scold me, but you can't scold my brother"! It’s so sweet! 】

【kswl! Other CPs are evil, but butter cakes are the sweetest! 】

[The two of them are just like each other. They understand each other's musical concepts. Sapiosexuality has fascinated this couple. Please keep it locked. 】

[I can’t imagine that if two people have a child, can they surpass Beethoven and Mozart? 】

[I suggest them to get married as soon as possible and call on the country to respond. You can have two children in three years and three children in five years. The future of the music industry depends on your children! 】

[And Yao Changcheng, don’t mess with those shabby blue shoes, go home and have more children. The future of men’s and women’s basketball depends on the gender of your child! 】

The music review debate post inexplicably turned into a birth control post. This group of CP fans were bitter and resentful when their parents gave birth to Su Zhe, but they just watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal when they gave birth to Su Zhe.

Not only that, the video for the latest episode of "Chinese Song Festival" also inexplicably turned into a "Wishing Pond".

During the two songs "Confession Balloon" and "Xingqing", countless people posted barrage confessions, completely covering the screen.

There are many people who have confessed, and of course some of the successful ones have come back to fulfill their vows:
  [We are already together, thank you Su Zhe! 】

[I’m not going to lie to you, I just confessed my love on the barrage and received the confession message from my partner. 】

[It’s so clever. I didn’t believe it when I read metaphysics, but I just posted the other person’s name in the barrage, and the confession was successful immediately. 】

They did not lie, but this is called the survivor effect——

People who have failed to confess are busy shutting themselves off, so how can they have the mood to come over and say it doesn’t work?

So those who come to fulfill their wishes are all successful, aren't they?

But the mental state of contemporary netizens is that they talk about being anti-feudal and superstitious and believe in materialism, but in practice they believe in metaphysics.

Drawing cards in the game requires metaphysics, let alone confession. I heard that the spirits here come to make wishes regardless of whether they listen to the songs or not.

Originally, there were many inexplicable "wishing pools" on the Internet. For example, Liu Heluo posted a bunch of people asking for koi on his Weibo. Now, "Confession Balloon" and "Xingqing" in "Chinese Song Festival" have also become famous "cyber wish-making" "Chi", specializes in marriage.

There are even categories for some reason:

Men chase women and send barrages in "Confession Balloon", while women chase men and send barrages in "Xingqing".

Including single courtship, this is also the case. Su Zhe himself was confused:

"This isn't a toilet, so why are there separate genders?"

"Chinese Song Festival" was even more surprising, seeing the number of clicks and comments rising crazily, instantly exceeding the previous highest record, and it is still rising.

It's a pity that the real Wishing Fountain requires throwing a coin, but the cyber Wishing Fountain only requires posting barrages and making no money. Otherwise, it would be a Yuelao Temple, and incense is absolutely indispensable.

This made them sigh with emotion:
  "Su Zhe is awesome! You really need to treat him right!"

When Su Zhe received a thank-you call from the concert, he felt dumbfounded and thought it was just an interesting coincidence, until the system prompted——

[Positive character: Cyber ​​Yuelao (8%)]

[Drawing Reward: Turning Flower Rope (Beginner Level)]

Su Zhe: ...

"There are too many flaws, isn't it? What kind of bad character is Cyber ​​Moon? How can I improve my progress? Do I want to open a dating agency online? Or become the host of "If You Are the One"?"

"What kind of reward is the flower-turning rope? Because Yue Lao is good at pulling red threads, can he know how to turn the flower-turning rope?"

This shabby reward was completely ineffective, and this shabby character design was not attractive either. Su Zhe had no motivation to improve at all:

"Forget it, just let it grow moldy in the system. I don't want to be the elder of the moon."

Although the "Cyber ​​Moon Elder" persona did not appeal to him, after his fame spread, more people heard these two songs, and countless fans begged him to release an album quickly.

Su Zhe also finally released the title of the new album "Past CD" and the titles of all 12 songs.

After seeing the playlist, everyone finally decided——

These 12 songs are all love songs!

So music critics found a new angle and began to criticize Su Zhe.

Don't be surprised, why are they keeping an eye on Su Zhe? Of course it’s for the heat!
  How can there be any heat in praise? No matter how good the praise is, can anyone praise it well and in all kinds of ways?

impossible!
  So we must criticize! The so-called curse on Su Zhe made him famous.

For music critics, only by criticizing popular stars and criticizing popular songs can they gain the greatest popularity.

In addition to gaining popularity, they also want to gain higher status and money.

——Because for anyone who makes comments (evaluations), the most profitable way is to collect protection fees.

For example, when American film critics are at their peak, calling you trash may cost you hundreds or tens of millions in box office; praising you for being excellent may also increase your box office by hundreds or tens of millions.

Not to mention that some top film critics can also affect the awarding of awards, which is all fame and fortune.

Therefore, even the seven major studios have to pay protection fees to them. It is not necessary to confuse right and wrong, just to have a slight bias is enough.

On the contrary, in China, it is too obvious that film critics take money to do things (even "The Promise" praised it), resulting in little authority and low influence on the box office.

Not to mention music critics, they are similar to online reviews. The more they criticize a song (online article), the more popular it becomes.

The best domestic example of commentators charging protection fees is Gree Tiger, which caught Apple’s parent company and slapped it.

Although some of them are true, the tendency is too obvious. I just want to extort protection money. I didn’t expect that the other boss was talking about a talk show...

In short, music critics are targeting Su Zhe:
  [I can only write sweet songs, but Su Zhejiang’s talent is exhausted. 】

【The King of Ballads has fallen! The entire album is actually filled with love songs. 】

[Although I haven’t heard the other songs in the album, so I don’t know the quality, but the subject matter is single and only writes about love. He is no longer the Su Zhe who once focused on ideals and friendship. 】

[No way, Su Zhe made so much money from filming romance movies, and finally found the traffic password. How tiring it is to write about ideals and life! It’s better to write about love, it’s simple and profitable! 】

This time the music critics were slapped in the face and were too smart to talk about the quality anymore, but they kept insisting on the subject matter, and it was really hard for fans to refute.

No matter what Su Zhe thinks, music critics say that he only writes about love as depravity, vulgarity and lack of progress.

Even Huang Dapao, who had shied away from fighting when he saw Su Zhe, thought he had found the perfect opportunity to step in and stepped forward to start a team:
  [Some music fans may not understand why Su Zhe only writes about love, but music critics say he is not enterprising. Because you keep doing the same subject matter, it is easy to become homogeneous. In the end, you write almost the same songs. Isn’t it just to fool the fans? 】

He felt that his comments were fair and there was no risk of being slapped in the face:

If you write about the same subject in a short period of time, won’t it lead to homogeneity? If they are homogeneous, can they still all be high-quality products?
  Can he still write 12 exquisite love songs?
  impossible!Absolutely impossible!
  "The three songs he has put out for promotion now are definitely the title songs. The remaining nine songs are probably all average."

Huang Dapao had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

As a professional music critic, he certainly knows that an album is very strong if it has these three title songs, and he cannot force every song to be a masterpiece.

In addition to selected albums, it is impossible for singers from the previous golden age to have one album that is all excellent!
  With one ace song and a few excellent songs, it is considered a top album.

But he has to be picky.

So Huang Dapao boldly fired, posting several Weibo posts to denounce:

[Some fans said that I scolded Su Zhe out of revenge and looked down on me! I am mourning the loss of a musical genius! 】

[This album may have achieved greater success, but Su Zhe lost my respect forever. 】

[Fame, fortune and success are the biggest traps for musicians! Poverty is the creator's greatest gift. 】

[Su Zhe has fallen into the trap of money. He is now a successful boss, businessman, and producer, but he has begun to gradually lose his identity as a musician. 】

[I boldly predict that his acting and screenwriting abilities will also disappear due to the corrosion of money. Alas, another talented creator defeated by money. 】

In response to this, Su Zhe still did not respond. He did not allow him to gain popularity and only posted on Weibo as usual:
  [Tomorrow, the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet. What song do you think they will listen to? 】

Fans responded one after another:
  [Of course it's "The Past CD"! 】

[Hurry up and release it, I can’t wait to listen to "You Will Marry Me Today"! 】

[In order to be able to sing this song at the wedding, I even postponed the wedding. Please post it quickly. 】

In addition to fans, there is also Mr. Du, a well-known safety measure brand, who habitually gains popularity:
  [Meet once a year, it doesn’t matter what song you listen to, the key is to use up this box. (Link: Teacher Du’s Chinese Valentine’s Day special price, 1 pieces per box)]

Su Zhe: ...

First of all, Mr. Du, why did you not pay the promotion fee for advertising?
  Secondly, what song you listen to is very important! Must listen to "The Past CD"!
  Finally, isn’t using up 12 a bit too much?

Wouldn’t it be – from Deluxe to mineral water to watermelon juice?

As expected, the comments are also discussing:
  [Isn’t 12 times a bit harsh? 】

【is it a lot? I have done it more than ten times, haven’t you? 】

[If you want to say that, I can only say - yes, yes, yes, too few, I even did it twenty times! 】

[Oh, my boyfriend is like this, and it still smells good like fruit! 】

[My boyfriend smells like cologne! 】

[The gardenia smell I passed by is related to my daily diet. 】

[Starting to roll up the flavor? Then I also have a floral scent - heather. 】

【Only you are honest...】

[Okay, per capita annual salary of one million, per capita 12, per capita [-] centimeters, per capita half an hour, per capita [-] times, what else? Please add on. 】

[There are also 985 per capita, BBA per capita, large villas per capita...]

[Seeing this, in real life I would drool with envy; but online, I would say you have to keep working hard. 】

Su Zhe saw that the topic was getting wider and wider and the speed of the car was getting faster and faster, so he immediately and ruthlessly deleted Teacher Du's reply.

But for some unknown reason, a three-piece set for Chinese Valentine’s Day has spread online——

Flowers, Teacher Du, and "The Past CD".

Su Zhe: ...

He doesn't want to be bundled with Teacher Du at all.

As a result, Yan Xiling called him specifically to ask:

"Just now Mr. Du's marketing department contacted us and wanted to cooperate to launch a "Past CD" co-branded model. There are 12 pieces in a box. Each piece has a lyric printed on it. The styles are ultra-thin, granular, and threaded... They are willing to give hundreds of dollars. Wanlian will give you [-]% of your sales as a fee!"

Teacher Du is indeed the brand that knows best in online marketing, and its ability to capture popularity is so strong.

But Su Zhe had never heard of any celebrity endorsing this kind of product, let alone co-branding it.

He is in a hurry:

"Sister Yan! Are you crazy?"

Yan Xiling laughed loudly:
  "Just kidding you, I immediately refused and told them it was for another price. But it was really interesting. I have never heard of such a collaboration. And Mr. Du is the best at catching hot topics. Since they all want to co-brand, I I have a hunch that the new album is going to explode!"

 I have actually seen some female netizens comparing the tastes of each other online, with fruity, floral and milky flavors coming out.

  By the way, there is an English paragraph in the middle, which does not count as a word count at the starting point. Don’t worry, it won’t trick you into subscribing.
