This Star is Legal But Sick

Chapter 198 "Being Poor and Happy"

 After everyone saw these two words, doubts arose in their hearts.

"What do you mean? Is this song by Xu Ye related to cross talk?"

“I’m not telling you, how can cross talk be connected with pop songs?”

"No way? Could it be that what Xu Ye released was not a song? But a collection of stand-up comedy?"

At this time, countless eyes were staring at Xu Ye's movements.

 But this prompt word, everyone is completely confused.

There is no precedent in the music world for combining cross talk with pop songs.

 These two things are completely different.

 Things that cannot be hit with eight poles.

After seeing this prompt, many singers began to speculate on Xu Ye's song style.

 However, I had no idea what it would be like.

 This is too weird!

 How do you combine cross talk with pop songs?

Is it possible that Xu Ye really wants to do a cross talk?

 Given his mental state, this is not impossible.

What can’t Xu Ye do?

This time, the curiosity of netizens was immediately aroused.

 What kind of song will it be?

 At night, this is the recording room of a large studio.

  Xu Ye, Zhao Wenyuan, and other staff members completed the recording of the song.

 Besides the two of them, there are two men wearing coats standing here.

 These two men are the pillars of the local cross talk club and Wenqu club in Anseong.

 Hu Guang, Wang Tai.

 Hu Guang and Wang Tai both started doing cross talk in elementary school, and later founded Wenqu Club in Ancheng, which is very famous in China.

 The two of them attended the Spring Festival Gala by talking about cross talk.

 Hu Guang and Wang Tai both had smiles on their faces.

They have heard about Xu Ye for a long time, and they must know that people who talk about cross talk have a sense of humor.

 They quite like Xu Ye's morbid nature.

Zhao Wenyuan sighed: "I really can't write a song of this style, even if I were killed, I wouldn't be able to write it."

Wang Tai smiled and said, "You're welcome."

 Those who talk about cross talk must not let their words fall to the ground.

Hu Guang said to Xu Ye: "I think this song is quite interesting and I want to use it."

Xu Ye said: "Of course you can use it, you can use it whatever you want, just pay."

 Everyone burst out laughing.

 Finally, it was twelve noon the next day.

 The album is about to be released!

 At the same time, top songs by Wei Qingfeng and others began to be uploaded.

But everyone’s album only released the first song.

　　 are also the title songs of this album.

 Their songs are all produced by professionals in the industry, and even the MVs have been filmed.

  After all, the faces of traffic stars are also one of the selling points, and it would be better if there is a MV to watch.

 Senior composer Zhang Yao has been in front of the computer for a long time.

 He ​​is one of the jury members of the wandering music program. When Xu Ye sang the preface to Lanting, he did not hesitate to praise Xu Ye.

 Zhang Yao likes the song "Lanting Xu" very much.

 What is Chinese style?

 This is called Chinese style!

But it is a pity that the second episode of Wandering Music has not been broadcast yet, and the audio source of Lanting's preface is not available online at all.

 The live version of the songs will not be uploaded to various music platforms until after the show is broadcast.

 Zhang Yao could only recall it silently in his mind.

 Zhang Yao has no doubt about Xu Ye’s creative ability.

 He ​​was also curious about what kind of sparks would be created by Xu Ye's new song, which combines cross talk and music.

However, Zhang Yao still opened the songs of Wei Qingfeng and others first.

After all, their songs are produced by big guys in the industry, so you still have to listen to them.

 It is not impossible for top players to make out-of-circuit moves.

 What if their songs are not bad.

 As soon as he opened the title song of Wei Qingfeng's album, Zhang Yao felt a burst of electricity pass through his body.

 When Wei Qingfeng opened his voice, Zhang Yao felt like he was being numbed by electricity.

 “Damn it, you can’t sing without electricity, right?”

 Zhang Yao was speechless.

The further he listened, the tighter Zhang Yao’s brows became.

By the time the song ended, he was already leaning back in his chair, his eyes dull.

 “I don’t understand, I don’t understand.”

Zhang Yao said that he could not appreciate this song.

Especially when he watches the MV and listens to the song.

There were several shots in the MV that made him feel a little irritated.

For example, going shirtless to show off your muscles, ogling, and looking cool are all done one after another.

 In the end, Zhang Yao could only sigh.

 “It would be nice if it was a woman.”

　　It wouldn’t be uncomfortable if a woman watched it, at least it would be eye-catching.

 It’s a pity that they are all men.

 Zhang Yao made an evaluation of this song in his heart.

 Fan-oriented works.

 Don’t think about the spread of the song, it’s unlikely.

At any rate, he won’t put it on the playlist as a single.

After listening to Wei Qingfeng’s songs, Zhang Yao went to listen to songs by Zhou Xiaohu, Wu Zikai and others.

 After hearing this, Zhang Yao felt numb.

 “I shouldn’t have expected anything from them!”

　What should I say about these songs? If you want to say they have highlights, they are simply highlights.

 It just doesn’t sound good.

 It sounds like electric shock therapy is being given to the ears.

Zhang Yao can already anticipate these top-notch publicity methods.

 For example, some advanced foreign music techniques were used in this song, but they were not recognized by the market because they were too advanced.

 It’s really used.

  But it’s no use to you.

Zhang Yao declined to comment and opened Xu Ye’s album list.

At this time, Zhang Yao felt a little uneasy in his heart.

This is the first song in Xu Ye’s album.

Won’t you also rush to the street?

You should know that many singers will release some songs that are not well received but not popular. In fact, they don’t necessarily know whether the song will be a hit or not before they release it.

 They just think that my song is very advanced and must be good.

 In the end, reality slapped them hard.

Zhang Yao was a little worried whether Xu Ye would also follow this path.

But worries are worries. Whether the song is good or not, you have to listen to it to know.

 Zhang Yao looked at the only song in the album "Vulgar Music".

 Song title "Poor and Happy".

 After seeing this song title, Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment.

 “How can you be happy when you are poor?”

 He complained in his mind and clicked play.

 The prelude of the song came, a burst of lively piano sound.

 Zhang Yao was attracted immediately.

 Just kept listening.

 While he was listening to the song, he laughed like a goose from time to time.

By the time he finished listening to the entire song, Zhang Yao’s previous psychological shadow caused by electronic music had completely disappeared.

　　“Isn’t this song too funny?”

 Zhang Yao was already grinning from ear to ear.

This song has a strong flavor both in the melody and the lyrics.

 That’s called happiness.

 It’s like my mood gets better once I hear this song.

“So, where is the cross talk element in this song?”

Zhang Yao didn’t know much about cross talk, but he heard an accompaniment in the song, and the instruments used were traditional instruments.

That voice is very obvious.

Zhang Yao immediately bought the song, downloaded it, put on his best headphones, and listened to that section specifically.

“It seems to be the big drum used in Beijing Yun Dagu performances, as well as pipa, sanxian, and sihu!”

Zhang Yao is a composer himself, and he knows many musical instruments very well.

These traditional musical instruments are rarely used in popular music.

“Is it possible that elements of cross talk were used in this paragraph?”

Zhang Yao didn’t understand the rules here, so he immediately turned on his phone.

There is a chat group on his mobile phone, which is a group of good friends in the industry.

This group is called [Serious Music Exchange Group].

 Actually, it’s not very serious inside. Everyone usually talks about cars, houses, and the stock market. Anyway, anything that has nothing to do with music.

 Only for some major events in the music industry, everyone will talk about them for a while.

 Because there are too many people in this group, Zhang Yao usually sets the group chat to not remind.

When I clicked in today, I found that there was no one in this group, but they were discussing Xu Ye's new song.

　　【Did you hear it? I heard it! This adaptation by Xu Ye is wonderful. 】

 A songwriter from Beijing sent a message.

 The following is a group of people's responses.

　　【I heard you saying, Riddler, get out of the group chat! 】

　　【Speed, speed, this song by Xu Ye is so nice! 】

  【Where is the cross talk? 】

Seeing that someone had already asked the question he wanted to ask, Zhang Yao did not send any more messages.

 After a while, the composer who said he heard it before posted a short video.

　　【Look, this is a aria from the cross talk "Thirteen Fragrances"】

 Zhang Yao immediately clicked on this short video.

 In this video, there is a performance on stage by Hu Guang, who is now the mainstay of Wenqu Club.

 Hu Guang is wearing a black coat, and his partner Wang Tai is standing beside him.

Hu Guang is teasing, Wang Tai is praising.

Hu Guang sang: "The paper is small and square. Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty made paper."

 After hearing the first few sentences, Zhang Yao's eyes lit up.

 The melody of this section is indeed somewhat similar to the melody in Xu Ye's song.

After listening to the entire aria, Zhang Yao finally understood where the cross talk elements of this song lie.

 Xu Ye’s adaptation of this piece is absolutely amazing.

 After he returned to the group chat, the people in the group had continued the discussion.

[Xu Ye's song uses the vocals and shouts from cross talk, such as "I am the child of whose family, and my body is stronger than that of Li Kui." It is adapted from the shouting melody in "Selling Cloth Head" . 】

　　【The climax of the chorus is an adaptation of the traditional cross talk verse "Thirteen Fragrances"】

It’s hard to imagine that Xu Ye can perfectly integrate these elements and pop elements into this song. 】

Some people in the group who understand the method have begun to explain it to everyone.

 Some videos have also been released for everyone’s convenience.

 Traditional folk arts are the treasures of Chinese civilization.

 There are many places that can be excavated, but no one has tried it before.

 In other words, everyone finds it difficult to integrate.

 Nowadays, traditional folk arts are gradually declining.

 In other words, cross talk still relies on a few corners to support the scene.

 How can we wait until these hornets pass away?

Although a song by Xu Ye cannot help traditional folk arts, he told people that China still has traditional folk arts.

 In addition to the song itself, the long section in the middle of the song is sung with almost no breathing, which places too high demands on the singer's singing skills.

 This point, if you are a person who has sung this song in a KTV, you should have experienced it. When ordinary people sing, it is easy for ordinary people to just take a breath and the lyrics have already reached the next line.

 Can’t keep up at all.

[If I have to say it, I personally think this song is also a work of Chinese style, but it is not a traditional Chinese style. How to put it, I would like to call it "Ye style Chinese style". It is very special and is the best on the market. Unprecedented style]

 Finally, a big boss in the group spoke.

The status of this big boss is not ordinary.

 After he finished speaking, everyone discussed it and felt that what he said made sense.

 After everyone finished chatting about professional content, the style of the group changed.

 “This song by Xu Ye is so **** funny!”

“To be honest, I’m not surprised that Xu Ye wrote this kind of song. I’d still feel weird if other singers sang this song.”

“Bye bye everyone! Yesterday my wife found out that all my money was taken away. Now I am really poor and happy! The single is on a loop!”

“If you want to be happy, you have to be Xu Ye!”

These people in the group are full of praise for Xu Ye's song.

What are you thinking about? Just be happy!

 Zhang Yao had only one idea left in his mind.

What a top-notch person, you deserve to release songs at the same time as Xu Ye?
