Chapter 72 Two Flowers

Just when Lu Yuan and Su Xin met, "Chi Ling" was already popular all over the Internet.

That dramatic tone that was hard to distinguish between true and false amazed countless people.

The first reaction of many people when they hear this song is, can pop music still be sung like this?
In just a few hours, the number of visits to Lu Yuan's personal blog soared rapidly.

One hundred thousand!

million!

800 million!
900 million!
In less than half a day, Lu Yuan’s record of highest number of visits to his personal blog in a single day was set again!

"Chi Ling" launched the message section of the blog, and the number of comments from netizens increased sharply. Every time F5 was pressed, several or even dozens of new messages would pop up.

[The opera and Kunqu opera are so amazing! !This is Chinese style! ! 】

[Opera, Chinese romance, so beautifully sung! 】

['Don't laugh at romantic dramas, don't laugh at people's absurdities, ask questions about youth, and sing about prosperity and death.' When I heard this, I felt an inexplicable sadness. 】

【Lu Yuan! !Pay for my tears! ! ! 】

[Brother is great, Mina loves you! 】

[The female lead in the MV performed so well, and her figure is definitely well-founded. 】

【Yuanbao is the best!Ingots!rush!rush!rush! 】

[Lu Yuan, just because of this song, I, who never chase stars, have become a fan of you. 】

In the evening, Mr. Lu Zaiyi, the famous Chinese composer, published a blog post, which immediately added to the popularity of "Chi Ling".

"The Fusion of Popular Music and Opera Elements" - Lu Zaiyi
[Pop music is the most common form of music in today's society. Its content is easy to understand, its personality is distinctive, and it has very unique musical characteristics.

In recent years, Chinese pop music has gradually become more localized, and the wave of Chinese style has gradually emerged.

Among them, the integration of pop music and opera elements has always been the focus of the author's observation.

Chinese style can be traced back to the Republic of China.

The melody of "Song of Hundred Flowers" and "Waiting for the Master to Come When the Flowers Bloom" by singer Zhou Xuan during the Republic of China were partly taken from traditional Pingtan and ditties in Suzhou and Xicheng.

After the reform and opening up, "Hometown is the Capital" and "Singing Mask" created by Yao Min (composer) incorporated elements of Peking Opera and are also classic masterpieces of opera and pop.

In the 90s, Chen Sheng's "One Night in Beijing" introduced the chorus of Peking Opera Hua Dan, 'one night in Beijing', which was also a successful combination of opera and pop.

After the turn of the millennium, my country's Gulf Province has also set off a wave of national style craze. Works such as "East Wind Breaks", "Flower Field", "Hair Like Snow", etc. are all outstanding works that have emerged from this round of national style craze.

Among mainland singers, young singer Lu Yuan is also one of the best.

The author paid attention to Lu Yuan because his granddaughter was chasing stars. I watched a show with my granddaughter that day and happened to hear the song "Wukong".

What first caught my attention was the accompaniment of "Wukong". The arrangement of this song introduced a large number of ethnic instruments.

The large-scale quotation of bamboo flute and erhu not only does not appear obtrusive, but also complements the piano and drums.

The lyrics are a mix of vernacular and classical Chinese, and are performed in the form of opera rap and opera singing, which have the characteristics of both opera and popular songs.

It was a successful attempt.

Compared with "Wukong", which has only been touched upon, the song "Chi Ling" is undoubtedly a step forward.

This time, Lu Yuan quoted more national instruments in the arrangement, including guzheng, erhu, flute, fishing drum, and pipa, which did not destroy the overall harmony of the arrangement.

National musical instruments and orchestral, piano and other musical instruments complement each other one after another.

In addition to the arrangement, Lu Yuan's singing performance is also a highlight.

Both traditional opera and popular music attach great importance to the use of breath.

Traditional opera pays attention to the Qi sinking in the Dantian, that is, using abdominal breathing to increase the breath pressure, from the lower abdomen to the oropharynx, and then to the center of the eyebrows, three points are connected in a line, and the sound is relatively concentrated and bright.

Pop music pays attention to the overall resonance, that is, the resonance of the chest, mouth, and head cavity, and the three major resonance cavities are mixed.

Although both opera and pop music focus on resonance, traditional opera pays more attention to the mouth and head cavity and avoids the use of chest resonance.

Singing popular songs has slightly lower requirements for head cavity resonance and relies more on the resonance of the mouth and chest cavity.This is also a significant difference between traditional opera and popular song singing.

When Lu Yuan performs the opera part of "Chi Ling", he mainly uses the resonance of the head and mouth, and hardly uses the resonance of the chest.

This is a typical opera performance.

……

(Omit 2000 words of appreciation)
In short, "Chi Ling" created by Lu Yuan is undoubtedly a masterpiece that combines opera and popular music, and deserves recognition!

Written on the [-]rd of August in the year of Dinghai in the western suburbs of Magic City]

Mr. Lu Zaiyi may not be well-known to the outside world, but those who know the industry know his status in the music industry.

He is the current Vice Chairman of the Chinese Musicians Association, Chairman of the Magic City Musicians Association, and Vice Chairman of the Magic City Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

In China, people with his status would generally not comment on a certain singer easily.

This time, Mr. Lu Zaiyi not only commented on "Chi Ling", but also mainly praised it, which represents the affirmation of the mainstream music circle.

It is extremely rare for a pop star to receive such praise.

Although this blog post did not cause much response from the outside world, within the music circle, it was nothing less than a thunderbolt.

The next day.

"Chi Ling" debuted on the TOP100 of [-] Hot Songs, landing directly at number five.

No.1: Chasing dreams with a pure heart——Lu Yuan

No.2: The secret that cannot be told - Jay Chou
No.3: Those Years——Lu Yuan

No.4: Crescent Bay - FIR Orchestra
No.5: Chi Ling——Lu Yuan

No.6: Daoxiang——Lu Yuan

No.7: The love that the sun never sets - Jolin Tsai
No.8: Happy to be poor - Huaer Band

No.9: The wind is rising——Lu Yuan

No.10: Magic City——Lu Yuan

An album that has been released for more than two months can still firmly occupy four of the ten slots. What kind of staying power it has.

Steady scary.

In addition to the four songs in the new album, Lu Yuan still has two singles on the list, one of which ranked first and the other ranked fifth.

Six of the ten seats occupied, and half of the country was no longer enough to describe Lu Yuan.

10 month 5 number.

The popularity of "Chi Ling" continues to soar, pushing out "Crescent Bay" and "Those Years" successively to enter the top three.

Lu Yuan's single is so crazy that he doesn't even spare his own people!
"Those Years" was mercilessly killed.

According to the current momentum, how long can the second-placed "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled" stop him?

Seeing this phenomenal popularity, the media in Wanwan became excited again.

What kind of monster is Lu Yuan?

Couldn't even Jay Chou stop him?

The song "The Untold Secret" is not just a musical work, it has the double blessing of movie + Jay Chou.

But even so, the ranking of "Secrets That Cannot Be Told" on the new song list is still in jeopardy.

　I have opened a group. If you are interested, you can join the group to chat. Also, do you have any accelerators that you would recommend to those book friends who are very resourceful?
　　The official bulletin board website suddenly became unavailable. It was fine yesterday, but the information is hard to check.
