Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"It's interesting. Although it's biased, it's also unique. What happens next? Let's talk about it." After hearing what Wang Xu said, Professor Jin felt his eyes light up.

This was the first time he heard this kind of analysis of tunes and singing methods from the perspective of equipment and distribution methods, and it really gave him a refreshing feeling.

This kind of change in the way of thinking is something that musicians generally don't consider. They think more from the music itself. After changing the way of thinking, it seems that many incomprehensible things can be explained.

“In the 1980s, the country opened up, and many new media began to enter China on a large scale.

Radios, tape recorders, video recorders, televisions, these monophonic devices began to appear and became increasingly popular.

It is difficult for monophonic equipment to produce a sense of liveness. The original sound of the song is still the main mode of transmission. Orchestration is more important than before, but it is still a foil to the song itself.

But because the sound quality has improved, the level of the speakers is enough to express more subtle changes, and the listening environment has become smaller, people can also capture more subtle changes.

Therefore, sounds that are too high-pitched will appear harsh, while soft and beautiful singing, especially the sound of breathing that has never been heard from the equipment before, has become the favorite of the public.

Representatives of these are "Nostalgia" by Teacher Li and "Night at the Military Port" by Teacher Su.

Both songs have a soft and beautiful artistic conception, and the singing style is breathy, expressing the weak sound driven by the airflow into a very charming sound quality.

But this singing method can only be spread through highly sensitive equipment, so it spread quickly through radio and television.

The popularity of Bay Wan singer Teresa Teng is the most typical embodiment of this era. "

The more Professor Jin listened, the more interesting he became. The tall boy in front of him had always said that singing was a part-time job and that he only had to go to school as a full-time job. This seemed to fit perfectly.

This pure science and engineering way of thinking allows him to have an alternative interpretation of purely perceptual things in the field of music. This is a pure engineering interpretation of the way music is popular through technology.

Wang Xu took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a faint smoke. His slightly childish face actually had a little more mystery.

Wang Xu continued to speak:

“Afterwards, Chinese people became richer than before and could afford stereo equipment. Double speakers and four speakers became popular, TVs could also listen to two-channel stereo, and radios began to have FM stereo.

At this time, the sense of presence can be established, and the importance of orchestration begins to gradually appear.

However, the speakers of TVs and radios have low power, and the display of bass is relatively weak. However, it is also very different from the almost no bass before, and the importance of rhythm begins to show.

Therefore, pop music with complex orchestration and more emphasis on melody rather than rhythm began to spread.

At the same time, the rise of song and dance halls has led to the emergence of some high-power playback equipment in China. In song and dance halls, heavy bass and intense rhythms can be better displayed.

However, the song and dance hall has a large space, many people, and most of them are in motion.

In this complex environment, the songs themselves were not so easy to remember, so DISCO dance music also became popular at the same time.

However, due to limited conditions, it can only become popular among people who like liveliness and dancing in big cities with song and dance halls.

In the future, high-end special audio equipment with heavy bass will enter the home, and the prices of the active speakers I built will also be greatly reduced.

Stereo sound is no longer a problem, bass can be fully demonstrated, and small environments such as homes will not affect each other. At this time, music with clear rhythm, complex melody, and rich orchestration will gradually become popular.

For example, rock music is very niche now and can only be listened to live. But when various four-speaker speakers and large speakers that can show bass gradually become popular, rock music will lead a trend. "

Wang Xu spoke with certainty, and he was fooling Professor Jin like a magic stick, which made Professor Jin a little confused about the real age of the person in front of him. For a moment, he had the illusion that he was talking to a thousand-year-old ghost.

"Hey, you really dare to predict that rock and roll will become popular, are you serious?" Professor Jin didn't believe it. He had also heard of rock and roll, but that was all he felt.

This kind of music, which is famous for its rhythm and roar, is not very popular with Professor Jin, but as a type of music, it is impossible for him to ignore it.

“At least that’s the case in big cities. A high standard of living also means high income. Buying speakers is no longer a problem. Then rock music will take the lead in spreading in the city.

As for rural areas, they have to wait until the price of audio drops to a point they can afford. "

Old God Wang Xu continues his journey of deception.

"So what's your conclusion?" Professor Jin was suddenly curious about the reason why Wang Xu came up with this set of theories today.

This long speech was completely in keeping with Wang Xu's usual speaking style. Although it had its own persuasion, this obviously over-the-top speech was obviously not something that should appear in a simple chat.

"The conclusion is the importance of equipment. You see, recording equipment and playback equipment directly affect the trend of the entire music, and even indirectly affect the style of music.

As the most famous music school in the country, do you have to keep up with the times? Can the students hear anything just by relying on your broken speakers? The sound of communication. "

Wang Xu no longer hid it and revealed his fox tail. Of course, this meant that Professor Jin was very familiar with him, so there was no need to go around too much.

Today's long speech is actually just Wang Xu's whim. In later generations, he will be able to write short essays of thousands of words and share his opinions on the Internet. In this era, this hobby will naturally not be missing.

However, it is really troublesome to express your own opinions in this era. You have to write it down and submit it. By the time it is published, Wang Xu's passion has long subsided, so he has never published it in a newspaper. Something to make a pen man.

But isn’t there an audience today? As for selling equipment by the way, that’s really just a matter of convenience. Anyway, Senior Brother Li will be in charge of the follow-up operations. It is convenient for these connections and resources to be handed over to him.

In the past, Wang Jinghua helped sell recording studio equipment, but Wang Jinghua was not good at these things and was not that concerned about how to sell these things. He was still more capable in the entertainment field, so Wang Xu did not rush him. she.

I have always had the attitude of hitting three poles if there is no date, and it is the same today. I saw Teacher Jin. They have been saying that they are going to build a recording studio, but there has been no follow-up movement. I will knock on the pole today to see if it can really work. something down.
