Chapter 198 "Poor and Happy"
After everyone saw these two words, doubts arose in their hearts.
"What do you mean? Is it possible that Xu Ye's song has something to do with cross talk?" "
I'm not telling you, how can cross talk be connected with pop songs?" "
No way? Isn't it true that Xu Ye's song is not a song? Is it a stand-up comedy collection?"
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 industry for combining cross talk with pop songs.
These two things are completely different.
Something 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 to combine cross talk with pop songs?
Is it possible that Xu Ye really wants to do a cross talk?
Given his mental state, it's not impossible.
There's nothing Xu Ye can't do!
At 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 were two men in coats standing here.
These two men are the pillars of Anseong's local cross talk club and Wenqu club.
Hu Guang, Wang Tai.
Hu Guang and Wang Tai both started doing crosstalk in elementary school, and later founded Wenqu Club in Anseong, which is very famous in China.
The two went to 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 really like Xu Ye's morbid nature.
Zhao Wenyuan sighed: "I really can't write a song of this style. Even if you kill me, I can't write it."
Wang Tai smiled and said: "You're welcome."
Those who talk about cross talk cannot let their words fall on 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, just use it as you like, just pay."
Everyone laughed.
Finally, twelve o'clock noon arrived the next day.
The album is about to be released!
At the same time, Wei Qingfeng and other top songs began to be uploaded.
But everyone’s album only released the first song.
They 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 popular celebrities 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 was one of the members of the jury of the wandering music program. When Xu Ye sang the preface to Lanting, he did not hesitate to praise Xu Ye at all.
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 Lantingxu is not available online at all.
The live version of the song will not be uploaded to various music platforms until after the show is broadcast.
Zhang Yao could only reflect on 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 Xu Ye's new song would create by integrating 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 have out-of-circuit work.
What if their songs are not bad.
As a result, as soon as he opened the title song of Wei Qingfeng's album, Zhang Yao felt a burst of electricity pass through his body.
After 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 more 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 couldn't appreciate the song.
Especially when he was watching the MV and listening to the song.
There were several scenes in the MV that made him feel a little irritated.
For example, going shirtless to show off your muscles, ogling, and acting cool are all done one after another.
In the end, Zhang Yao could only sigh.
"It would be nice if it was a woman."
If a woman watched it, it wouldn't be uncomfortable, at least it would be eye-catching.
Unfortunately, they are all men.
Zhang Yao made an evaluation of this song in his heart.
Works for fans.
Don’t worry about how popular it will be, it’s unlikely.
Anyway, 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 listening to this, Zhang Yao was numb.
"I shouldn't have expectations for them!"
What can I say about these songs? If you want to say they have highlights, they are full of highlights.
But it just doesn’t sound good.
It sounded like electroshock therapy was being given to the ears.
Zhang Yao can already predict 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.
Really used it.
But it’s no use to you.
Zhang Yao said he had no 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.
Aren't you going to hit the streets too?
You know, many singers will release some songs that are 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 songs are good or not, you have to listen to them to find out.
Zhang Yao looked at the only song in the album "Vulgar Music".
The song is called "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.
But while he was listening to the song, he laughed like a goose from time to time.
After 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 melody and lyrics.
That's called happiness.
It's like whenever I hear this song, my mood gets better.
"So, where are the elements of cross talk 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 was unmistakable.
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 performance, as well as pipa, sanxian, and Sihu!"
Zhang Yao is a composer himself, and he is very familiar with many musical instruments.
These traditional musical instruments are rarely used in popular music.
"Is it possible that cross talk elements were used in this section?"
Zhang Yao didn't understand what was going on here, so he immediately turned on his phone.
There is a chat group on his mobile phone, which is a group of close friends in the industry.
This group is called [Serious Music Exchange Group].
In fact, 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 some major events in the music industry will be discussed specifically for a while.
Because there are too many people in this group, Zhang Yao usually sets the group chat to not remind.
I clicked in today and saw 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.
Below are the responses from a group of people.
[I heard you say, 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.
[Take a look, this is a aria from the cross talk called "Thirteen Fragrances"]
Zhang Yao immediately clicked on this short video.
In this video, there is a performance on stage by Hu Guang, now the mainstay of Wenqu Club.
Hu Guang was wearing a black coat, and his partner Wang Tai was standing beside him.
Hu Guang is teasing, Wang Tai is flattering.
Hu Guang sang: "The paper is small and square. Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty made paper."
After hearing the first few lines, 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 element of this song lies.
This adaptation by Xu Ye is absolutely amazing.
After he returned to the group chat, people in the group had continued the discussion.
[Xu Ye's song uses the vocals and shouts from cross talk, such as "I'm a kid from whose family, and I'm stronger than Li Kui." It's 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 popular 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 posted for everyone to check.
Traditional folk arts are the treasures of Chinese civilization.
There are many places that can be explored, but no one has tried it before.
In other words, everyone finds it difficult to integrate.
Nowadays, traditional folk art is gradually declining.
In other words, cross talk still relies on a few corners to support the scene.
But what about after these hornets pass away?
Although Xu Ye's song cannot help traditional folk arts, he told people that China still has traditional folk arts.
In addition to the song itself, there is almost no breathing during the long section of the song, which places too high demands on the singer's singing skills.
Anyone who has sung this song in a KTV should have experienced this. When ordinary people sing, it is easy for ordinary people to 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. A style that has never been seen before]
Finally, a big boss in the group spoke.
The status of this boss is extraordinary.
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 fucking funny!"
"To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that Xu Ye wrote this kind of song. I'd still feel weird if other singers sang this song."
"Goodbye, 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!"
All the people in the group were 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?
