Chapter 416 Authority
After finishing the outline of "Premier Zhou's Diplomatic Situation", Xu Qian began to think about what song to sing in the tenth issue of "I Am a Singer"?

"New style?"

When Xu Qian saw this keyword for the first time, he already knew it.

Because countless traversers have given him new answers!
There are many keywords that can meet the new style of music, such as "new folk songs" and "new rock". . . . . . . .

But there is no doubt that the most shocking thing is always the "Chinese style"!
Why so many senior travelers choose to sing Jay Chou's works, it's because Jay Chou is really awesome, and his Chinese style is really awesome!
Before Jay Chou, Taiwan also had many singer-songwriters such as Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Tong Ange, Qi Qin, Wang Jie, Zhang Yusheng, Zhou Huajian and so on!

Hong Kong also has bright and prosperous times, such as Principal Tam, Four Heavenly Kings, Leslie Cheung, Sam Hui, etc.!

But many songs from that time were adapted from Japanese songs.

At that time, the Japanese singer Nakajima Miyuki almost raised half of the music scene!

It is not unreasonable for Wong Ka Kui to say that there is no music scene in Hong Kong.

Of course, this is because we don't have the songwriting gene in our bones!

We are still very good at writing lyrics. We Chinese are number one in writing lyrics in the world. We can write such beautiful lyrics in a narrow and cramped score! (Why is it a bit like a short and tight tone...)
. . . . . . . . . . .

Just when everyone was annoyed that the Chinese music scene was stagnant, or even regressed.

A man named Jay Chou was born out of nowhere, and he truly brought the power of innovation to the Chinese music scene!
A large number of outstanding original singers headed by him, such as Wilber Pan, Lin Junjie, Stefanie Sun, etc., were released. It was also the last glorious era of the Chinese music scene!

Jay Chou really represents an era!
Someone once asked on Zhihu: "How popular is Jay Chou?"

Nima, there are tens of thousands of comments.

Here are a few of the comments: "I have really liked him for many, many years. Although I listened to "Nunchaku" and "Tornado" when I was young, I didn't feel much about him. I didn't really like him. It wasn't until the summer of 04 that I listened to "Qilixiang" ", I began to like him a little bit. At that time, he was not my super idol. One day, a female classmate in the class argued with me that Jay Chou was the hottest in China. I said he was not as popular as Jacky Cheung. As a result, a dozen or so girls in the class were attracted to "thought reform" me. They were a star they didn't know at all, and they tried their best to convince me that Jay Chou was the most popular in China..."

"I remember that one year Wilber Pan was very popular and he was about to catch up with Jay Chou. The next year JJ Lin was very popular and he was about to catch up with Jay Chou. One year Wang Leehom was very popular and felt that he was about to catch up with Jay Chou. There was a time when Luo Zhixiang was very hot and felt that he was about to catch up with Jay Chou. Jay Chou became popular, and then Eason Chan was very popular and felt that he was about to catch up with Jay Chou, and then Mayday was very popular, everyone discussed whether Ashin could catch up with Jay Chou by going solo, and felt that Jay Chou was very popular every year, and everyone else took turns to catch up."

. . . . . . . . .

So why are Jay Chou's songs so popular?
Someone said: The most powerful thing about Jay Chou is that he has become an irreplaceable part of his youth, just like those shining days never come back.

Jay Chou naturally has an element of an ancient "storyteller". In fact, at that time, it was Jay Chou's creations other than love songs that first occupied my heart. Stand out among many popular songs.

His songs are rich in subject matter!

Diversified themes such as "Cowards" against drugs, "Terraces" advocating environmental protection, "William Castle" which promotes Chinese Kung Fu culture, which is full of humorous and imaginative themes of fairy tales, "Ninja" which draws on Japanese culture and strong Japanese style, and "The End of the War", which is widely praised by many boys, belongs to this list.

. . . . . . . .

Chinese style songs, that is, add some ancient Chinese allusions to the songs as the creative background, use modern music to sing the classical flavor, the singing methods are diverse, the style of the music is biased towards the traditional oriental performance, some oriental instruments are added, the tone of the song is mellow, Huihuan has a traditional oriental aesthetic, because it fully complies with the "three ancient and three new" standards. The music mostly adopts the main theme of "gong mode", and a large number of Chinese musical instruments are used in the arrangement: such as erhu, guzheng, Xiao, pipa, etc.

I don't know when "Chinese style" has been closely linked with "Jay Chou".

This is all because the "Chinese style" was really formed in "Jay Chou"!
In July 03, Jay Chou released a very conspicuous work "Dongfeng Po" in the album "Ye Huimei". It is the first Chinese style song that completely meets the six standards of "Three Ancients and Three New". The direction brings out the antique Chinese taste, Jay Chou's singing has laid the basic singing method of Chinese style songs, Fang Wenshan has also laid a solid foundation for him to fill in the ancient meaning of Chinese style lyrics.

Up to Jay Chou, the style of the Chinese style has basically taken shape - the lyrics have Chinese cultural connotations, and new singing and arrangement techniques are used to enhance the atmosphere of the song. Light and other song styles.We have another choice for listening to music in the future, it can take us back to experience the taste of music that is completely Chinese!

In terms of the "three ancients and three new" in the connotation of the song, the profoundness of the Chinese style should be based on Jay Chou's "Dongfeng Break" as the watershed, and the Chinese style songs began to take shape!
There are many songs about "Chinese Style".

Jay Chou's "East Wind Breaks", "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties", "Blue and White Porcelain", "Fireworks Are Cold", "Thousands of Miles Away" and so on all belong to this list!
Others include Tao Zhe's "Unforgettable", Wang Leehom's "Beside the Plum", Lin Junjie's "Jiangnan", "Cao Cao", and Wu Kequn's "General Order" are also Chinese style songs.

. . . . . . . . . .

So which song did Xu Qian choose?
In fact, among these Chinese style songs, Xu Qian's favorite is "Blue and White Porcelain". "Blue and White Porcelain" is so beautifully written, like poetry, lingering and beautiful, just like the modern version of Liu Yong's words!

But a person must have a beginning and an end, and he decided to sing "Dongfeng Po" for his first Chinese style song!
After all, this is the first song that truly establishes the "Chinese style", and it is the pioneering work of the "Chinese style" song!
Then the Chinese style songs in this world will start from it.

"I don't know what kind of impact "Dongfeng Po" will bring?"

Xu Qian thought so in his heart.

He has confidence in this song, and he is no longer an unknown person. Now he has become a superstar, he has become an authority, which is very, very convenient for promoting Chinese style!
