I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 232 The Wind of Hualiu

Zhu Yiwen deliberately promoted Chinese-style songs. Firstly, it is the general trend. Secondly, the national pride of the domestic public is gradually increasing. The foreign moon is no longer round. Many imported styles that were popular in the past, such as rap and rock, have become popular in recent times. It has been declining since the beginning of the year and has become a very small category.

However, the status and popularity of Chinese style songs are constantly increasing. It is precisely because of this opportunity that Haijiao.com spent a huge amount of money to announce the holding of the Chinese Style Cup Contest to generate some traffic for the website.

Unexpectedly, Chinese-style songs are indeed very popular, but their traffic is concentrated on a few songs at the top of the pyramid.

For example, "East Wind Breaks", "Lanting Preface", etc.

Although a large number of participating songs can be regarded as Chinese-style, they may be due to the poor level of the creators. In short, they feel that they are not as good as "Lanting Preface" and "Dongfeng Po".

Just like some girls, after dating a rich, handsome man, they no longer look down on ordinary boys.

Of course, there are some outstanding ones, such as "The Old Tree in Front of the Door" or the newly released "Misty Rain in Luoyang". In terms of lyrics and composition alone, they are already comparable to "Lanting Preface" and "East Wind Break", or even better.

But overall, the series of Chinese-style songs written by Wen Chao Gong are already in the first echelon of the Chinese music scene today, and are completely top-notch, so no one can compare with them.

That's why Zhu Yiwen specially discussed with Wenzhao Gong himself, hoping that the other party would release another Chinese style work to add another fire to the National Style Cup competition.

And now, a brand new song appeared in front of him, and it was a newly recorded song. It was even a song that Zhou Dingran sang for the Spring Festival Gala stage...

Thinking about it, I’m still a little excited!

At this moment, as "Blue and White Porcelain" was playing on his mobile phone, Zhu Yiwen gradually calmed down and listened to the song carefully.

The first thing that came into my ears was a piece of percussion. The muffled drum sound was immediately recognizable as the sound coming from the guitar case. Then, cymbals, guzheng, and flute synthesizers also joined in, playing a comfortable melody. .

This prelude alone is already ahead of too many songs, and when the singing came, Zhu Yiwen was instantly attracted to his attention.

"The embryo outlines the blue and white, and the strokes are thicker and lighter.

The peonies depicted on the bottle are just like your first makeup..."

Zhu Yiwen has a deep research on Chinese style lyrics and music. It is precisely because of his preference that the National Style Cup can proceed so smoothly. When this song came, combined with the song title "Blue and White Porcelain", Zhu Yiwen instantly flashed a picture in his mind picture.

A piece of plain embryo is being outlined with a pen to outline the appearance of blue and white, and the body of the bottle is gradually painted with peonies, just like you who have just put on light makeup...

As the song passed on, the description in the lyrics gradually took shape in Zhu Yiwen's mind.

At this moment, Zhu Yiwen felt that the pores all over his body were opening, and he almost cried out in comfort.

Sure enough, only true Chinese people can understand China’s classical charm.

The most important thing is that only the five notes of Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu were used in the creation of the song. This is a serious and authentic Chinese-style work.

Similar Chinese-style songs may seem a bit bland at first, but as time goes by, such songs will not add any sense of the times. Even if you listen to them five, ten, or even twenty or thirty years later, It still feels like a new song that just came out.

This is the most powerful thing about Chinese-style works. Time will not leave any traces on it, and you will never get tired of listening to it anytime.

Even hundreds or thousands of years later, other popular music will gradually disappear, but lyrics such as "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Orchid Pavilion Preface" will most likely be included in poetry appreciation collections and leave their name in history. After all, even Song lyrics were not popular at that time. It is also used for singing.

Even in the previous life, someone once said that in terms of the beauty of Chinese style lyrics, Fang Wenshan is not inferior to Li Shangyin and Li Yu.

Although I don’t know if it deserves such a high evaluation, it is at least an affirmation of the top contemporary Chinese-style lyrics.

When Zhu Yiwen listened to "Blue and White Porcelain" with great concentration, and then looked up at Zhou Dingran, the light in his eyes flashed, as if he was about to kneel on the ground and call his adoptive father the next moment.

Zhou Dingran turned off his cell phone and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, this is the work I submitted to the Spring Festival Gala. It has now advanced to the second Spring Festival Gala rehearsal. As for whether it can be included in the Spring Festival Gala, I am somewhat sure, but I can't draw a conclusion now." It’s too early.”

When Zhu Yiwen heard this, he raised his voice excitedly: "Are you kidding me, a song like this can't be included in the Spring Festival Gala? The entire Spring Festival Gala program team should resign!"

Liu Ruyan smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, don't get excited. It's okay to say what you said in front of us, but don't let others hear it."

Only then did Zhu Yiwen come back to his senses, calm down his excitement in time, and said with a smile: "I don't know how to express my love for this song. Really, this is the first time I have heard such a strong Chinese style. work, I even feel that it has epoch-making significance for the Chinese music scene."

Liu Ruyan was surprised when she heard this. Although she was also very optimistic about the song "Blue and White Porcelain", Zhu Yiwen's comment really made her look at the song with new eyes.

Zhou Dingran nodded and said: "Since Mr. Zhu said so, then spread this song to Haijiao Internet Cafe first!"

"Pass it, pass it now."

Zhu Yiwen was afraid that something might change later, so he immediately agreed, and then said: "I will call the planning and marketing department and ask them to work overtime overnight to strongly recommend this song on the homepage of the website. This recommendation will be extended to The Guofeng Cup competition is officially over!”

This is a song that Zhu Yiwen specifically asked Zhou Dingran to come up with. Otherwise, this song will most likely have to wait until the end of the Spring Festival Gala to be released.

And now that Zhou Dingran was such a big deal by selling to Zhu Yiwen, Zhu Yiwen naturally reciprocated and immediately called all departments to start working overtime to prepare to push the song "Blue and White Porcelain" to all users of Haijiao.com.

So on this night, when many people were still discussing the news about celebrities such as Zhou Dingran sweeping buildings in major new media companies, another new song by Zhou Dingran was released ahead of schedule.

Many online users who were browsing Haijiao.com received in-site SMS push notifications from "Blue and White Porcelain" at the same time.

After seeing keywords such as Zhou Dingran and Wen Chaogong, many people immediately clicked to enter the page to play.

Then, when "Blue and White Porcelain" was played over and over again, countless netizens who loved Chinese style fell for it.

"These lyrics are even better than "Lanting Preface". I was so beautiful that I cried!"

"The new song "Blue and White Porcelain" is completely independent from the new album. It is said that Zhou Dingran specially composed it for the Guofeng Cup."

"I asked why so many people were discussing the news about Zhou Dingran sweeping the building at Haijiao.com headquarters tonight. I thought it was to promote "Legend", but I didn't expect that a new song was released, and it was free of charge."

"I feel that this is definitely a major release to hit the top of the Guofeng Cup. Otherwise, Zhou Dingran could have released this song on his next album!"

""Blue and White Porcelain" has a chance of winning the National Style Cup for Best Singer, Best Lyricist, Best Composer and Best Song. These four best honors are worth 40 million. No wonder Zhou Dingran can't wait to release this song."

"I thought "Luoyang Mist and Rain" was already invincible, but I didn't expect this song "Blue and White Porcelain" to come out. It's so beautiful, it's a song that makes me cry!"

"The singing method of this song is very interesting. In fact, looking at all of Zhou Dingran's Chinese-style works, the singing method is particularly interesting, but it sounds a little unclear in enunciation. But I don't think this is a shortcoming, but it is a very high level. !”

"Among all Zhou Dingran's works, only the Chinese-style songs have unclear articulation. Other songs such as "Once Upon a Time", "Ordinary Road", etc. are all very clear!"

"This is actually not Zhou Dingran's problem, but a problem with the limited listening comprehension of most of our listeners, because every line of Chinese style is very sophisticated. If you are not a top-level competitor in Tang poetry and Song lyrics, it is impossible to understand the song without reading the lyrics. "

"Actually, sometimes it's problematic if the words in Chinese-style songs are too clear, and the ethereal artistic conception will be lost."

"Yes, yes, it's best if nothing is too clear. Hazy beauty is more advanced."

"This is a special phenomenon. Many people often think that those who don't understand are the ones who are advanced."

"The song "Blue and White Porcelain" was a bit confusing the first time I heard it. But when I listened to the lyrics for the second time, I had an illusion of enlightenment for a moment, and then I was deeply immersed in the beauty of the lyrics. I think it is Chinese style. The unique charm of the work.”

On Haijiao.com, countless people had a big discussion about the song "Blue and White Porcelain". Almost no one denies the excellence of "Blue and White Porcelain", which makes this song almost completely negative online.

It was also under this rhythm that at twelve o'clock that night, "Blue and White Porcelain" relied on its explosive popularity to land in the top three of the Guofeng Cup and the top ten of the hot song list.

At eight o'clock the next morning, "Blue and White Porcelain" was promoted directly to the top of the Guofeng Cup and third on the hot song list thanks to the vigorous promotion of Haijiao.com.

Its popularity far exceeded all the songs in the Guofeng Cup competition, making many fans of songs such as "Luoyang Mist and Rain" and "East Wind Break" dumbfounded.

"The ranking is too fast!"

"Is co-writing the entire Guofeng Cup a joke?"

""Lanting Preface" was released so early, and its popularity has been so high, but now it has lost to the just-released "Blue and White Porcelain"?"

"I have deep doubts about the value of this list and the rules for its inclusion!"

At one time, some people doubted that "Blue and White Porcelain" was the product of a behind-the-scenes operation, but after listening to the entire song, such doubts gradually dissipated.

Because anyone with a little bit of literary and musical literacy can see that "Blue and White Porcelain" has a high style and beautiful lyrics, not to mention unprecedented, but it definitely has a crushing dominance in the music world of this era.

And "Blue and White Porcelain" enjoys benefits that other songs don't have at all. For example, text messages on the official site are pushed like crazy. Tens of millions of users on the entire website have received song push. And when such a high-quality song is pushed in front of them, everyone Almost all users who are interested in Chinese-style songs added this song to their playlists.

Most users even play the song on repeat all night long.

Not to mention tens of millions of netizens, even if there are only millions of people circulating the single all night, they will definitely have such explosive power of terrifying popularity.

The release of "Blue and White Porcelain" also caused Zhou Dingran's popularity to skyrocket.

Because this time the news push of Haijiao.com is for all users on the site, regardless of age group, so almost all users of Haijiao Music Network, ranging from 80-year-olds to young children, are here. One day I received a push from the site for "Blue and White Porcelain".

The audience of this kind of top-notch Chinese-style songs will basically cover all age groups, especially the older people are, the more they like such songs.

So it can be seen that in the past two days, the singing of "Blue and White Porcelain" can be heard in many public places. Even some middle-aged and elderly people have changed their mobile phone ringtones to this song. Some people also follow "Blue and White Porcelain" when taking TikTok videos. "Blue and White Porcelain" lip-synced the song, as if the song became popular all over the country overnight.

With the popularity of "Blue and White Porcelain", the popularity of "Legend", the title song of Zhou Dingran's new album, has waxed and waned. It is not at all as popular as a title song should be.

Although "Legend" firmly occupied the new song list after its release, it was firmly crushed by "Blue and White Porcelain" on the hot song list, leaving no room for improvement.

However, this did not surprise Zhou Dingran. In fact, he had low expectations for the song "Legend" before this. When the original author Li Jian sang this song, it was already tepid. Later, after it was covered by Faye Wong in the Spring Festival Gala, it became popular all over the country overnight, and even became a mark of the times.

Zhou Dingran's current perfect singing skills are even higher than Li Jian's. Although he sang the song "Legend" perfectly, compared to Faye Wong's top-notch ethereal singing when performing this song, he is still two different singing effects.

To a certain extent, it can be said that each has its own merits.

This is caused by the different singing styles of the songs themselves.

For example, Faye Wong will definitely not be able to sing the same songs as Xu Wei and Pu Shu when singing the songs "The Way You Were" or "The Ordinary Road".

Another example is Liu Huan's "Song of a Hero". No matter how great Faye Wong's singing skills are, she can't interpret the flavor of "Song of a Hero".

But in terms of Zhou Dingran's singing skills, he can perfectly control "The Way You Were", "The Ordinary Road" and even "Song of a Hero".

Even for a song like "Legend", Zhou Dingran can sing with an effect of over 95 points.

However, there is still some gap in achieving Faye Wong's singing performance in the Spring Festival Gala. This is not a gap in singing skills, but a gap reflected in the fundamental difference between male and female voices.

Even so, "Legend", sung by Zhou Dingran, as the title song of the album, still exploded in popularity after its release.

Although it is not as popular as "Blue and White Porcelain" recommended by the entire Internet, as a singer, Zhou Dingran's release of the title song of his new album completely crushed all singers at the same time.

The only thing that can beat Zhou Dingran’s new songs is Zhou Dingran’s new songs.

The release of "Blue and White Porcelain" also made Zhou Dingran's popularity even higher.

Not only did the deputy director of the Spring Festival Gala program Fang Shengyu call again, informing him that Zhou Dingran had advanced to the next round of rehearsals.

Even Zuo Qiu Liang, the chief director of Zhejiang Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party, couldn't help but make a video call to Zhou Dingran, asking Zhou Dingran to sing the song "Blue and White Porcelain" at this year's New Year's Eve party.

"You don't know how popular the song "Blue and White Porcelain" has become since it was released."

Zuo Qiuliang was furious when he said during the video call: "The director of the station specified that he wanted to hear this song at the New Year's Eve party. In addition, many Chinese teachers across the province called and wanted to have this song "Blue and White Porcelain" appeared on Zhejiang Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party just to let this song influence and modify the music aesthetics of today's teenagers. Don't always play TikTok songs all day long. Listening to such songs too much will indeed be a bit harmful to young people. "

Zhou Dingran was a little embarrassed because he didn’t say that his songs such as “囍” and “Drowning” are also extremely popular songs on Douyin.

"And I heard that you have signed up for the Spring Festival Gala for this song? Has it entered the second rehearsal?"

Zuo Qiuliang said energetically: "This is even more worthy of our New Year's Eve party. A song can not only be on the New Year's Eve party, but also the Spring Festival Gala. This is so impressive. In the music world, you can win with this song." lifetime."

Zhou Dingran smiled and said, "I'll think about it."

In fact, before that, he planned to sing some songs from the new album at the Spring Festival Gala. However, "Blue and White Porcelain" has really become popular since its release. Especially many elders who don't listen to pop music, during morning exercises or In my spare time, I would play this song on the radio and enjoy it while shaking my head while listening and humming along. It was a lively atmosphere.

"No need to think about it. The more popular the song "Blue and White Porcelain" becomes, the greater your chance of appearing on the Spring Festival Gala. When you sing this song on TV to people all over the country, it will definitely become a hit!" Zuo Qiuliang said with a smile: " Even some middle-aged and even elderly people probably can’t put it down for your song. I even feel that as soon as this song comes out, the award for the best song of the year at all major award ceremonies will go to you!”

This sentence is not without purpose.

As the end of the year is approaching, the invitation lists for major music festival award ceremonies have begun to be officially released. Heavyweight awards such as the Chinese Music Golden Melody Awards and Global Chinese Music Charts will be held in mid-January.

Although Zhou Dingran has not received an invitation yet, it is basically certain that he will have a place at this year's awards ceremony.

The songs released as Fathead Fish alone almost dominated the Chinese music scene in the second half of the year. It would be strange if Zhou Dingran's name was not included in the lists of these award ceremonies.

As long as Zhou Dingran wins a few awards and his new album achieves good results, Zhou Dingran's status in the music world will skyrocket.

In the past, he may have been extremely popular, but after all, he didn't win any awards, and no one endorsed his achievements, so calling him the top singer in the music industry is a bit unfair.

But when all the awards and honors are received, the Chinese music scene will usher in an era completely dominated by Zhou Dingran.

The name Zhou Dingran will also be well-known by the domestic and foreign music circles in the future. When Zhou Dingran reaches the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene, it will also be of great significance for the expansion of Chinese pop music around the world.

With the quality and popularity of Zhou Dingran's current works, Hualiu style will become popular all over the world and it will be just around the corner.
