Chapter 296: Chinese Style Masterpiece "Dongfeng Po"

Xu Nuo's first album "New Era" has a total of four songs, all of which are classics, and netizens are waiting for the follow-up.

After returning to Shanghai, Xu Nuo hurried to finish three songs first.

Then he posted a Weibo: "Three new songs of "New Era" "Dongfeng Po", "Nocturne" and "You Once" will be uploaded at 12 o'clock, welcome to listen."

Three songs, one is the pioneering work of Chinese style, one is a pioneering work of classical music plus rap, and one is the pinnacle of folk music.

Since the album is called "New Era", the songs included cannot be too ordinary, at least they must make some breakthroughs in style and type.

As soon as this Weibo was released, it attracted widespread attention.

There was a lot of discussion in the comment area.

"What does Dongfeng Po mean? Do you think my Dongfeng 41 is too broken? Okay, I'll buy two more packs of cigarettes to support you."

"It sounds a bit like the name of a ci tune, but I searched it and there is no such poem."

The popularity on the Internet is so high that the song has not been released yet, so it is directly searched.

#Nuoyan's new song "Dongfeng Po" is suspected to be ancient style.

#"Nocturne" is suspected to be classical music?

#"You Once" is of unknown style

One song, one hot search, the arrangement is clear.

The kingdom established by the first four songs began to play its power at this time. Not long after the Weibo was released, the whole network was discussing the three new songs.

The words mentioned most by netizens are "become a god!" "beat!" "explosive kill!" "open a new era!"

It is indeed an album that is destined to be a god. Now it seems that the name "New Era" is still a bit conservative. It should be called "You All Come Together" to fit the album's temperament.

How strong is this album? Let's put it this way. When he announced "Seven Miles of Fragrance" as the first song, some people expressed their approval of the album, and there were many such voices.

When "Coral Sea" and "Boundless Sky" were released together, everyone in the music circle urgently stopped the song release plan.

It was everyone, including superstars, top singers, and top traffic stars.

When "Compendium of Materia Medica" came out, the rap world was also in mourning.

It was over.

Everyone knew that it was impossible to do anything, and rushing forward now would be a death sentence.

So an unprecedented scene appeared in the music. For more than ten days, no new songs were released.

It can be seen how much they feared this album.

Many people are praying that this album will end here, and the rest will be better, so that they may have a chance to surpass it.

But they may be disappointed, because "Dongfeng Po" is the eternal god of Chinese style songs.

The birth of this song is a major event that is destined to go down in history in the Chinese music scene.

On July 31, 2003, the album "Ye Huimei" was released, which included "In the Name of the Father", "Sunny Day" and the pioneering Chinese style song "Dongfeng Po".

This song appeared in the Chinese music scene like a nuclear bomb.

"Dongfeng Po" is the pioneering work of Chinese style, and it is also a controversial peak work, because there are also big bombs like "Blue and White Porcelain" later, and only Jay Chou can beat Jay Chou.

Before "Dongfeng Po" came out, Chinese style songs refer to adding some ancient Chinese allusions as the creative background of the song, using modern music to sing the classical flavor, and singing in various ways.

It can only be said to be music with ancient style.

After "Dongfeng Po" came out, the Chinese style genre began to rise.

This song tells everyone that it is not called Chinese style if there are ancient elements. The real Chinese style should

Meet the "three ancients and three new" standards.

The three ancients and three new refer to ancient poems, ancient culture, ancient melodies, new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts.

It sounds difficult, but it is not easy at all.

Because Chinese style music mostly uses the main melody of the "palace mode", and a large number of Chinese instruments are used in the arrangement: such as guzheng, flute, pipa, etc.

Not only that, the greater difficulty is that the Chinese pentatonic scale is not easy to compose music. The pentatonic scale is also called "gong, shang, jue, zhi, and yu".

The biggest difference between it and other scale forms is that it does not have fa and si, but only do, re, mi, sol, and la.

This is the origin of the five-tone incompleteness.

How can you play without two notes?

There are indeed geniuses in the Chinese music scene who use gong, shang, jue, zhi, and yu to write songs, such as "A Laugh in the Sea" and "May We Live Long", which are both Chinese style in a broad sense.

However, these songs are more Chinese style than fashionable.

In a narrow sense, Chinese style must be "three ancient and three new", so it is generally recognized that "Dongfeng Po" is the originator of Chinese style.

After "Dongfeng Po", a new era of Chinese style songs officially began.

Since then, the Chinese music scene has ushered in a new genre "Chinese style", and a wave of Chinese style has swept in.

In the past 21 years, Chinese style songs have emerged in an endless stream, and many classic works have also appeared later.

Jay Chou's pentatonic song "Dong Feng Po" boldly uses piano, pipa, electric drums, guzheng and other instruments in the arrangement, making this song have a Chinese style melody while also having a Western fashionable rhythm.

"Dong Feng Po" has the skeleton of Chinese classical music and the flesh and blood of Western pop music.

Xu Nuo put this song in the fifth place, to be honest, it is a bit unfair to "Dong Feng Po".

However, the order of position does not matter, after all, the other songs are also king bombs.

This is a song that is destined to disappoint all those who expect him to be a stunner.

After receiving the news, major music platforms immediately produced copywriting and promotional posters.

The homepage is a big push, arranged, and it is accompanied by a few words "epoch-making work!"

This is a recognition from the music platform. To this day, the four songs of the album "New Era" have already killed countless albums. Whether it is an epoch-making work has almost been a consensus.

App flash screen pop-up window, arranged.

App message push, arranged.

This time, major music platforms gave all the recommended resources to Xu Nuo.

On the one hand, it was goodwill towards Xu Nuochang. This person has been too scary recently. The CCTV interview was obviously sending a signal of praising him.

Whether it was asking questions or promoting him in disguise, it expressed support from CCTV.

Moreover, there was an invitation for cooperation from the Military Art Center, and the golden body became armor.

On the other hand, no one released new songs during this period, and the recommendation positions were given to recently popular songs. The recommendation resources were unprecedentedly abundant.

Under such circumstances, the exposure of "New Era" was beyond imagination.

At twelve o'clock noon, the much-anticipated new song was launched.

If nothing unexpected happened, there was still an accident. The server was stuck and the page could not be entered.

Netizens expressed their anger and complained that the music platform was rubbish and they could not even open a page.

However, the old fans were very calm and gave new people some scientific knowledge.

"Calm down. It is common for servers to be overwhelmed for anything related to Nuoyan."

"Yes, Weibo has crashed several times, and Qiyue.com has also crashed."

With the scientific knowledge of the old fans, everyone calmed down.

Ten minutes later, all major music platforms returned to normal.

Everyone told each other, "You can listen to the music now!"

So netizens flocked to listen to the music.

At this time, the king Wu Gaofeng was listening to the music.

He Xiuyuan was also listening to the music.

Zhou Hongyuan sat upright and clicked on the play.

It can be said that most people in the music circle were listening to the music.

Wu Gaofeng was looking forward to it. The first four songs gave him a big surprise.

His intuition told him that there might be more surprising songs later.

As a singer, he loves music and naturally loves really good songs.

In the office, several composers were with him, and he casually clicked on the music.

The clear and clean piano sound sounded slowly, the melody was gentle, the lyrical meaning was very strong, and it was easy to exaggerate emotions.

Wu Gaofeng nodded slightly. This prelude alone showed the composer's skills.

Although it was not as exciting as the prelude of "Seven Miles of Fragrance", it was also a rare masterpiece.

At this time, other instruments were suddenly added to the accompaniment. Listening carefully, it should be the sound of traditional instruments.

"Is this the guzheng?" Wu Gaofeng turned his head and asked.

"Yes."

Everyone is not a weak person. Even if they are not masters of classical instruments, they can tell them apart.

Accompanied by the accompaniment of the guzheng, Nuoyan sang with injury and loneliness.

"A lamp of parting sorrow, standing alone at the window.

I am behind the door, pretending that you are still here.

It is more lonely to revisit the old place when the moon is full.

The candlelight awake in the middle of the night cannot bear to blame me."

Listening to this song, Wu Gaofeng slowly closed his eyes and uttered a few words like a sigh, "Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu!"

As a veteran king, he found something wrong at the first time. He has also been studying classical music, but no one has succeeded in a song based on "Gong Shang Jiao Wei Yu".

It's too difficult, at least Wu Gaofeng thinks so.

He opened his eyes and looked around at the masters present. Everyone had the same stunned expression.

Wu Gaofeng was shocked. Did this song start like this or has it always been like this?

As we all know, songs with five-note scales are not easy to write and difficult to write well.

Because you only have five scales, how can you write differently from others?

It's not difficult to use it occasionally.

But if...

Wu Gaofeng shook his head. That would be terrible.

Nuoyan is a person who always likes to play tricks. Maybe he is just showing off his skills?

With such a glimmer of luck, he continued to appreciate the music.

The song continued.

"A pot of drifting, wandering around the world is hard to swallow.

After you left, the wine warmed the memories and missed you.

Water flows eastward, how can time be stolen.

The flowers bloomed and matured once, but I missed it."

The melody is graceful and the lyrics are elegant.

It is exquisite and graceful, but it has the feeling that great joy must be easy.

Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu correspond to 12356, and this song "Dongfeng Po" is arranged and combined according to these five scales.

Wu Gaofeng sighed in his heart after playing with it.

On the other side, the lyricist Gu Jingshan, who has worked with him for many years, was mumbling something in his mouth and writing something in his hand.

Wu Gaofeng understood him very well. It is an occupational disease for lyricists to be picky about words. Whenever he encounters wonderful lyrics, he will behave like this.

Gu Jingshan muttered to himself as if no one was around, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling.

Obviously, he has been immersed in it.
