Chapter 285 Discussion on 'Dongfeng Po'

"A new piece of Chinese style, "East Wind Breaks" teaches the music world what the real Chinese style is."

“Currently, there are endless Chinese-style works, but not many are really popular. Most of them are shoddy works that follow the trend.

Finally, Li Hyuk couldn't stand it anymore, so in addition to writing songs for other singers, he also brought a piece of Li's Chinese style work in the true sense."

"The Chinese style in the music world is in chaos. Li Hyuk simply came down to direct the traffic and tell everyone how to write Chinese style."

The media praised "Dongfeng Po" very highly, and it caused a higher response than "In the Name of the Father". Although "In the Name of the Father" can be regarded as a ceiling-level work in terms of pop music artistry.

But the significance of "East Wind Break" lies in that it is a pop music work based on traditional culture.

The combination of tradition and pop has both height and breadth, and this song has also opened up a certain middle-aged and elderly market for Li Hyuk. After listening to this song "East Wind Break", many middle-aged and elderly fans fell in love with Li Hyuk immediately, not to mention that they fell in love with him immediately.

At least the impression has improved.

Needless to say, the young fans almost praised Li Hyuk as a god.

The two consecutive songs released indicate that Lee Hyuk's fourth album is different. However, what makes fans regret is that "Dongfeng Po" was only glimpsed on "A Date with Lu Yu" and the sound source was not released.

But this did not stop the resourceful netizens. After the program "A Date with Lu Yu" was broadcast, some netizens immediately cut out a video clip of Li Hyuk singing "Dongfeng Po" and posted it on the video website.

Station B has a video playback function in the background, and it can also play in a loop, so Station B is regarded as the player of "Dongfeng Po".

After netizens uploaded it, the number of views immediately exceeded one million.

Logically speaking, netizens who spread it without permission violated copyright, but Fantasy Records did not pursue the case.

Because this is also beneficial to the promotion of the new album, fans will not give up the entire album just because of one or two songs that are overdrawn in advance.

If there are such fans, it can only be said that it is a pity that he missed one of the best Chinese albums.

There are fourteen tracks in this album. Fans are amazed by Lee Hyuk's talent. At the same time, there is no shortage of arguments on the Internet that Lee Hyuk released this album perfunctoryly.

This does make sense. After all, it has only been one year since the last album was released. Other singers generally release albums every two or three years, but in recent years they have not released albums at all.

But Li Hyuk was different. He maintained the rate of one ticket a year for three years.

Everyone is very doubtful whether Li Hyuk can continue to release high-quality Chinese albums after three high-quality albums, and whether, as the Golden Melody Award said, Li Lang's talents are exhausted.

But now it seems that everyone's worries are unnecessary. These two songs alone are enough to open up the reputation of Li Hyuk's fourth album and even attract some fans who did not originally pay attention to Li Hyuk.

Many music critics and scholars of traditional ancient poetry culture have begun research on "Dongfeng Po". Mr. Liu Junyi, a famous traditional folk musician and traditional culture research scholar, published a long review in his column and gave "Dongfeng Po" a high praise.

of praise.

"I think this song "Dongfeng Po" has redefined the modern popular Chinese style songs. It cannot be said that "Dongfeng Po" is the pioneer of Chinese style. There are many songs before this song, including several songs written by Li Hyuk himself.

"Dongfeng Po" is very different from these songs, redefining Chinese style songs and making it mainstream.

The so-called Chinese style is mainly due to the music, which uses the traditional Chinese pentatonic scale Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu to compose the music, which has a few fewer notes than the current popular concerts.

Coupled with Li Hyuk's own antique lyrics, it becomes the distinctive feature of Li's Chinese style, which is more clearly defined than other earlier Chinese styles.

So just from the feeling of listening to this song, it will not disappoint. I personally think that young people and older people will like it, and it has profound feelings. It is the kind of song that becomes more and more interesting the more you listen to it, and it will not be like a saliva song. After listening to it a few times, I no longer feel it.

Therefore, I feel that this song is the foundation of modern Chinese style, and it is truly suitable for all ages, from 60-year-olds to teenagers, everyone can enjoy this song happily."

Another musician Yuan Shanghe gave his evaluation from a professional perspective:

"From a vertical perspective, compared to the retro-style painting, for "East Wind Breaks", I prefer the painting style of the Republic of China.

From a horizontal perspective, compared to "Shanghai 1943", the tune of "East Wind Breaks" more accurately describes the lonely and beautiful chapter of Shanghai in the Republic of China.

The piano of Western instruments is used to highlight the contrast, and the familiar Wang Fang opens the song. The power of the melody of this song is reflected in all aspects of details, including the intro, interlude and outro.

563623,5326237232, this is the main theme line. The note of 23 becomes the main line through the prelude melody. The low eyebrows and the formal playing seem to express the sorrowful emotions in the heart that are constantly being cut off and confused.

The melody is gentle and tight. The three tones of 5, 6, and 7 are arranged before 23, just like knitting a sweater. One stitch is followed by another, creating short ups and downs, establishing the tone at the beginning, and introducing extravagant thoughts.

The first percussion track begins to appear, allowing the narrative to progress slowly.

'A lamp of separation and sorrow is standing alone at the window. I'm pretending behind the door that you haven't left yet.'

The harmonic progression of C-Em7-f-Dm7-G-C in the first four bars is really rare. The minor chords use seventh chords, followed by the ascending perfect fourth major triad.

The melody still uses multiple overtones as a solution, and progressive convolutions are used in the three consecutive tones 1, 2, and 3 in the pentatonic scale..."

Yuan Shanghe also talked about a lot of things later, which is equivalent to reading "Dongfeng Po" from the inside out.

It talks about too many very professional things. Except for people who study music and have a little understanding of it, most other fans don't realize it.

Anyway, I only know that Yuan Shanghe is playing "Dongfeng Po", so there is no problem.

Some netizens ridiculed that within two days, music critics and musicians from all walks of life had analyzed his song from the inside out in less than two days.

But analysis is analysis. As long as you learn some music, anyone can analyze it.

Therefore, the difficulty of music is not to analyze, but to create works worthy of analysis. Li Hyuk is the kind of musician whose works are recognized as worthy of analysis. Otherwise, no one would analyze Yuan Hua's music, but Li Hyuk would The music does not play.

In recent years, there have been more and more people analyzing Li Hyuk's music. Hundreds of essays have been written on the analysis of "Lady" by music students. However, in the past so long, no one else has created another "Lady". "Lady" come.

Again, the same chords and the same melody can be varied by good songwriters, but ordinary singers can only keep repeating themselves, so that their songs sound the same.

All in all, because of the two high-quality songs, the public has been looking forward to Li Hyuk's new album for a long time.

This expectation is the same not only within China, but also abroad, such as Japan and South Korea.

Especially among island countries, who is most obsessed with traditional Chinese culture is undoubtedly the island country next door. It is no exaggeration to say that most Chinese people do not admire traditional Chinese culture as much as island people do.

Therefore, as soon as the song "East Wind Breaks" came out, various scholars in the neighboring island country couldn't sit still, and various media and newspapers praised Li Hyuk's song.

When Chinese fans saw the performance of fans from the island country next door, they undoubtedly had mixed feelings. Everyone was very happy that Li Hyuk could go abroad and be recognized, but at the same time, they also began to criticize themselves because of the loss of too much traditional culture.

In this regard, Li Hyuk did not expect that a song would actually trigger a discussion on traditional culture.

Another thing worth mentioning is that "Shanghai 1943" will be included in the textbooks of major primary schools in Shanghai in September. This is another huge honor for Li He.

My relatives at home have passed away, and I have to go back to my hometown to take care of funeral arrangements. I may not be able to keep up with the updates. Please forgive me...
