Chapter 297: New School, Pioneering Work

The chorus of "Dongfeng Po" finally arrived.

"Who is playing a song of Dongfeng Po with the pipa,

The years are peeling off the wall and I see my childhood,

I still remember that year when we were still very young,

And now the sound of the piano is faint, you haven't heard my waiting~"

Gu Jingshan suddenly stopped writing, and snapped the notebook shut.

This action made everyone look at him.

"What's wrong, old Gu, are these lyrics not good?"

Gu Jingshan shook his head and sighed deeply.

This look also made Wu Gaofeng interested, and he reached out to pause the music.

"What's the matter? I think it's pretty good?"

"It's not pretty, it's very good." Gu Jingshan was silent for a moment, and spoke with difficulty.

"Tell me about it?" Everyone was a little surprised. Gu Jingshan is a veteran lyricist, and his reputation is no less than that of ordinary stars. Now he is asked to write lyrics, starting at 5,000 yuan per word, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one word is worth a thousand gold.

Everyone wants to know about the lyrics that he can recognize so much.

Gu Jingshan shook his head, "Listen to the end first."

So the music continued.

"Who is playing the song Dongfeng Po with the pipa,

The maple leaves dyed the story and I saw through the ending,

I led you through the ancient road outside the fence,

In the years of smoke and grass,

Even the breakup was silent..."

When the song ended, everyone had something to say, but they all looked at Gu Jingshan at the same time because he had the biggest reaction.

Gu Jingshan spread out his notebook, "I won't talk about the song, everyone is a master, I will only talk about it from the perspective of the lyrics."

He thought about it and simply turned on the projector, clicked on "Dongfeng Po" and projected the lyrics on the wall, and clicked pause.

Gu Jingshan's status in the Chinese music scene is a bit similar to Fang Wenshan. He is Wu Gaofeng's exclusive lyricist.

"Art is actually a dialogue with the world. I have always been thinking about what kind of appearance and expression the lyrics will have after they are separated from the melody of music."

"Words and music are combined, so there are songs. Then, can the lyrics be taken out alone and regarded as a work of art?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In fact, since ancient times, poetry itself has been a work of art. It does not need someone to sing it, and it can also be passed down through the ages.

Speaking of this, Gu Jingshan looked a little lonely, "But unfortunately, although my attempt cannot be said to be a failure, it is not a success either. At least no one will take the lyrics out alone to appreciate them."

"The song "Dongfeng Po" gave me hope. Maybe someone can really do what I can't do and write lyrics as poems."

Gu Jingshan said with some excitement and some emotion, his expression was very complicated.

"Our traditional literature pays attention to artistic conception, and artistic conception is produced on the basis of imagery. I extracted the key words of "Dongfeng Po", "lamp, door, moon, candlelight, pot, wine, water, flower, pipa, fall, year, quiet, east wind, maple leaf, ancient road, wild smoke" are all very common images in classical literature, which is nothing surprising."

Gu Jingshan gestured on the wall with a laser pen, "The rare thing is that although there are so many images, this song is not randomly piled up, unlike some songs that only pile up words and make up nonsense, which seem gorgeous, but in fact are nonsense, and can only fool people who know nothing."

Several people were silent. They have seen a lot of this, especially the so-called ancient style songs, the lyrics are so gorgeous.

"This song reminds me of the night when the candles are burned out, the room is dark, and the wanderer who has returned from his wandering life holds a wine glass, stands in front of the window, looks at the bright moon, and drinks in the moonlight."

"This scene naturally appears in front of my eyes with the music."

Gu Jingshan said excitedly, spitting everywhere, "Incorporating these images into the lyrics of pop music and connecting them with personal pronouns is very advanced."

"In the lyrics, a lot of personification and metaphor techniques are used. For example, "The candlelight awake in the middle of the night can't bear to blame me", "The candlelight is so bright that I ... How can it be "awake" and how can it be "critical"?

"This is of course a technique of personification - describing the candlelight as a person, not even wanting to disturb or criticize the candlelight, and then using this to bring out the lonely atmosphere lingering around the protagonist."

"For example, the "warm" and "thin" in "Wine warms memories and misses thinness" are masters that make me convinced. Every word is picked to the extreme. This is a real masterpiece of a master who uses words and sentences at will, and it is appreciated by both the refined and the popular."

Gu Jingshan analyzed it for a while, and the more he analyzed, the more excited he became.

If you know him, it is not difficult to understand why he lost his temper.

Before last year, to be precise, before Xu Nuo appeared, although the Chinese music scene was named Hua, it was actually greatly influenced by the West. Before he appeared, pop singers basically had foreign backgrounds and their music styles were also the styles of other countries.

A large number of singers covered and adapted songs. Gu Jingshan was not convinced and always wanted to insist on taking a different path. The things of our ancestors should not be buried.

"Dong Feng Po" gave him hope for rise, it was a new genre.

Several composers made an analysis from the perspective of composition and arrangement.

In the end, everyone agreed that the lyrics, music, arrangement, soundtrack, rhythm, environment creation, and emotional mobilization of "Dongfeng Po" were all impeccable. This is a song that has become a god.

Wu Gaofeng deeply agreed with this. He was even glad that his album was released at the same time as Shen Kaiwen. At that time, he won very easily.

But if it was released at the same time as "New Era", he himself would have no confidence.

Don't look at the role of singer. Nuoyan is a newcomer, but which newcomer has such a terrifying influence?

Experts see the doorway. When "Dongfeng Po" came out, it was like a bomb, no, a nuclear bomb thrown into the music circle.

The music circle exploded all of a sudden.

In the Avengers group.

"I may never be able to write a song like "Dongfeng Po" in my life."

"Be more confident, I definitely can't write it."

They feel that although they are alive, they are actually dead. When "Dongfeng Po" came out, they were already dead.

"From another perspective, can we also learn the method of Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu?"

"At the age of 23, with his first album, is Nuoyan going to be a god?"

"At the age of 23, Nuoyan was financially free and reached the peak of his life. He became a god with an album and created miracles with a movie. At the age of 23, I made 3,000!"

"I give up. Nuoyan is the eternal god of the Chinese music scene."

There was a lot of discussion in the music circle. Many people felt that they had found a new way of thinking. As long as they followed Nuoyan, they could make a living.

It has been proved before that they wrote whatever Nuoyan wrote. Even if the quality was a little worse, as long as they wrote well, there would be fans who would buy it.

At this time, Gu Jingshan stood up and said: "'Dongfeng Po' will be an epoch-making work, worthy of the album name 'New Era'."

This is the first big man who has a good reputation to come out and say.

Next came many stars who had a good relationship with Xu Nuo. This is also the norm in the entertainment industry. Everyone helped each other and slowly formed a small circle.

It's just that Gu Jingshan's identity is special. He doesn't belong to this circle. Strictly speaking, he doesn't belong to the big circle of the mainland music scene.

On the other hand, he represents Wu Gaofeng's intention to a certain extent. This is also the second time that Wu Gaofeng has expressed his goodwill.

With more and more publicity, the market feedback of "Dongfeng Po" has come particularly quickly.

Almost an hour after the song was released, the discussion on the Internet was everywhere.

"This song uses Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu. The instruments include erhu, pipa, guzheng, harp, piano, etc. This kind of song seems a bit fresh."

"Is it a new genre?"

Netizens talked about it, but couldn't say why.

At this time, the famous composer, Mr. Lu Xinzhi, stood up. The old man usually doesn't play Weibo, but it doesn't mean that he is an antique.

"This is a new genre. As for the name, I personally think it can be named according to the national style of the Chinese nation, called Chinese style."

The name "Chinese style" was recognized by most people at once, and everyone cheered.

If the "Chinese style" can be carried forward, it means that we finally have a pop music style of our own.

Whether it is rap, rock, jazz or other music, they all originated from the West, which makes it even more difficult to surpass the other party.

Only by taking a different path and overtaking on the curve can we have a chance to fight with them.

The wisdom of our ancestors is infinite. For example, in the field of automobiles, oil vehicles have lagged behind for decades, and this gap is almost insurmountable. Then, when fuel vehicles dominated the world, hybrid and electric vehicles came out.

New energy vehicles began to overtake on the curve, and the two Toyotas retreated step by step.

This is the significance of taking a different path. The emergence of "Dongfeng Po" is that new path.

Lu Xinzhi not only provided a naming idea, but also deeply analyzed why "Dongfeng Po" is an epoch-making song.

In addition, one music critic after another gave crazy likes.

The Chinese music scene is blowing, and a huge wave has swept everyone and the entire network.

"This song has conquered four generations of my family. My grandfather, my parents, me, and my nephew all recognized this song."

"I can no longer read "Who is playing the song of Dongfeng Po with a pipa" in a normal tone!"

After repeatedly bombarding everyone's ears, this lyric has changed many people's reading habits for decades.

"Who is playing the song of Dongfeng Po with a pipa", when the eyes see this sentence, the brain automatically replaces it with the singing rhythm.

When Xu Nuo saw Lu Xinzhi's Weibo, his expression was a little strange. The old man actually took back his original name by mistake.

He interacted with the old man on Weibo, "This style is originally based on classical music and created with modern lyrics. It should be called Chinese style."

The person concerned came out to recognize the new genre of "Chinese style", so from then on, there was a new genre in the Chinese music scene, and Xu Nuo became the founder of this genre.

"By the way, have you listened to "Nocturne"? After listening to it once, I couldn't stop listening to it."

At this time, everyone remembered that there were two new songs today.

It was just because "Dongfeng Po" was so strong that everyone forgot about the new songs for a while.
