After Su Cheng's"Dragon Fist" was uploaded to the official page of World Music Storm (WMG), the ranking was not high at the beginning, and it can even be said to be very low.

Come to think of it, WMG has been held for so many years, and Chinese music has not been in the top 16 for many years.

When you come to the homepage of World Music Storm, you can see more than 200 songs. It is difficult for normal people to listen to all the songs.

At most, they can only listen to the first few dozen.

So there is such a phenomenon that the number of likes for the songs ranked at the top will increase.

No one cares about the ones ranked at the bottom.

However, there was an exception in the past two days.

That is Su Cheng's"Dragon Fist".

As time goes by, the number of likes has increased rapidly.

Two days have passed since the public display, and the current ranking has rushed to the 30th place.

Over 100 million likes in two days is a good result.

The top 30 can already attract the attention of many people.

For example, Martin, the president of the Vienna Music Association.

He is browsing the participating songs on the homepage of the website.

This year's World Music Storm Competition will be held in Vienna.

Martin is one of the members of the organizing committee of this year's WMG.

In addition to fans' likes, the organizing committee also has voting rights for the participating songs, and the proportion is not low.

They need to carefully appreciate and taste each entry to prevent missing a high-quality work.

At this time, Martin clicked on the entry with a Chinese name.

As a senior musician, he has listened to a lot of Chinese songs. He also has a certain study of Chinese.

Chinese songs are mostly lyrical, and the songs are generally very soothing. The slightly faster ones are also the kind of relaxed and bright.

The Chinese characters at the beginning of the MV and the flashing martial arts movements made him brighten up.

Chinese elements!

Martin is personally very interested in Chinese culture, but Chinese music is too poor in expressing culture.

They are all love stuff. Martin has never seen a song with Chinese elements at the beginning.

In the MV, after the song name disappears, Su Cheng appears in a blue shorts. He stands on a Chinese drum and hits the drum head with a drumstick in his hand.

The Chinese drum is different from the Western drum. Its waist is thicker.

The Western drum has a shallow waist and a distinct barrel structure.

The drum sound slowly becomes rapid, and then stops when it reaches a peak.

Martin couldn't help but exclaimed:"Amazing!"

Before he could finish marveling at the drummer's performance, he saw Su Cheng do a front flip over the drum and start practicing.

""Chinese Kung Fu!"

Martin also knew a little Chinese, and he pronounced these words very clearly. He has always been fascinated by Chinese Kung Fu.

He watched the MV with great concentration, watching the more than 50 people practicing with great momentum.

He was afraid of missing a move.

He even began to learn the moves of Chinese Kung Fu.

Then, in the MV, Su Cheng began to sing.

Martin was stunned. Although he didn't understand what Su Cheng was singing, he could tell that it was a rap song.

He had never heard Chinese rap before, mainly because of the pronunciation problem, and it was difficult to sing well.

But this did not prevent him from following the rhythm of Su Cheng's rap and starting to beat the beat.

It didn't matter whether he could understand it or not.

Anyway, even if you are Chinese, if you hear Su Cheng's"Dragon Fist" for the first time, you probably won't understand it if you don't read the subtitles and lyrics.

""Amazing!"

Martin exclaimed after listening to the song.

The whole song uses traditional Chinese instruments, and Martin couldn't even tell how many instruments were used in total.

This is the president of the Vienna Music Association who has a certain understanding of Chinese culture.

In addition to the Chinese instruments, there are also Chinese rap and Chinese Kung Fu.

Although he didn't understand the lyrics, he could imagine that the lyrics are definitely full of Chinese elements.

After listening to it, Martin exclaimed,"This......This song is underestimated, it is definitely one of the top 16 songs!"

Then, he forwarded the MV of"Dragon Fist" to his YouTube account.

This is his personal style. When he encounters music he likes, he will forward it on his personal account.

The influence of the president of the Vienna Music Association is very large.

In just two hours, the number of likes on this forwarding quickly exceeded 10,000.

Wei'er was sitting in a cafe at this time. She was also a contestant in the Global Music Storm Competition.

Seeing that Martin forwarded a Chinese song, she immediately clicked to watch it.

She didn't understand Chinese at all, and didn't know what Su Cheng was singing.

But music knows no borders, and the melody of"Dragon Fist" deeply attracted her.

However, the instruments in it were too unfamiliar to Wei'er.

After listening, she immediately replayed it and showed it to her friend Yuri across from her.

Yuri is a Huaguo fan, and among Wei'er's good friends, he knows Chinese culture best.

Also a singer, participated in this year's Global Music Storm Competition

"Cool!" Yuri gave his evaluation,"Chinese Kung Fu! Awesome!"

Yuri also thought the song was very good.

But the angle was different from Wei'er's.

"Did you hear what instrument was used in this piece of music?"Wei Er saw that Yuri had finished listening and asked quickly.

"God, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't seen the instruments he used before."

Wei'er asked in surprise,"What do these instruments look like?"

She is getting more and more curious now. As a musician who has been exposed to various instruments since childhood, how could there be so many instruments that she has never seen before.

It is normal to say that she doesn't recognize one or two of them. But it is incredible that she doesn't recognize all the instruments in a song.

She must recognize the drums at the beginning of the MV, but they are a little different from what she usually sees.

"This is a traditional Chinese musical instrument!"Yuri said excitedly.

Then he opened his mobile phone album and found photos of Chinese musical instruments.

He pointed them out to Wei'er one by one.

"This is the pipa, this is the guzheng, this is the erhu! This is the suona......"

Yuri knows everything

"Where can I see what they really look like?"After seeing the pictures of these instruments, Weier became even more curious. She was eager to know how they were played.

"There is a musical instrument store over there that I often go to. They have all these. Yuri seemed to be showing off his favorite toys.

"It's not far from here, just two streets away."He said as he pulled Wei'er out.

Yuri was very excited now.

Someone suddenly became interested in the field he was familiar with.

He had to show it off.

Not long after, the two came to the musical instrument store.

The decoration of this store was very luxurious and it covered a large area.

Wei'er came here often.

But she never noticed that there were traditional Chinese musical instruments in the store.

The music culture of the beautiful country is very prosperous, but it does not mean that Chinese music is also popular here.

For example, the Chinese musical instruments in this store are all placed in a remote corner, and no one cares about them.

Wei'er touched these instruments that she had never seen before with great curiosity, and now she had the urge to play them.

"Yuri, I want to learn a Chinese musical instrument. Do you have any suggestions?"

Yuri was very happy to see someone like his hobby.

He pointed to an instrument and suggested:

"If you want to learn, you must choose this, a unique instrument in China"

"My friend said, it is the king of musical instruments!"

"Playing it can send people away!"
