Chapter 406 Cheng Yi Jie Lun Ben Lun

Zhihu, [How to evaluate "Waiting for you to finish class" in Cheng Yi's video "I made a song in the style of Zhou Milk Tea"]

This question has 2.45 million views, 2879 followers, and 102 comments.

It topped the hot list with a crushing attitude.

Among them, the most popular answer is this.

[Cheng Yi’s song gave me a strong sense of déjà vu as Jay Chou, it’s very much the essence of Jay Chou!

As for why I say this, it’s because in my understanding, Jay Chou is, to a large extent, a similar person.

Almost there:

Too lazy to think about the album cover (see interview)

Too lazy to think about the album title (obviously)

Too lazy to think about the lyrics (too many examples)

In summary:

When I release an album or a new song, I just mess around with the packaging. I just slap the name on my head and pick it up. Anyway, my lyrics are done casually.

Fang Wenshan? What Fang Wenshan? I didn’t know I had a song singing: Wenshan, when you finish writing the lyrics, will I release the next album?

However, the above is just his self-defeat after all.

Behind this is actually a kind of conceit.

In a song, everything else can be almost the same, but the music itself cannot. Composition, arrangement... are what he understands as the biggest content of a song.

Therefore, after he finished his self-deprecation, he never forgot to add: It’s good if the content is good.

Older fans all remember "Black Humor". When the emotions are simmering and about to burst out, the sentence "There may be something wrong with your head" is so heartbreaking.

Newer fans remember "Kill" in "Heroes"...

But judging from the lyrics of "Sunny Day", it's not that he doesn't have the ability to write a lyric that Shen Yun has.

He is just relatively indifferent.

His lyrics follow the melody, the picture, a combination of intentions from the heart, or a splicing of emotions. In any case, it is completely different from Fang Wenshan's rhyme-note writing method, where he first finds the rhyme and then connects the sentences.

model.

This is why Jay Chou's lyrics are more touching.

On the other hand, the song "Waiting for You to Finish Class" imitated by Cheng Yi is simply the conclusion of the Zhou Dynasty!

Find a few random sentences from "Waiting for You to End get out of class":

I found a job, very close to your dormitory

When I started to learn how to make egg pancakes, I discovered that you don’t eat breakfast

Oh, you passed me by again

What do you listen to in your headphones?

Can you tell me?

(ps: Thanks to a friend who added that when I watched Cheng Yi’s video, I directly pulled up the song without watching his creative process, so I don’t know that his story was based on fans, but it does not affect my answer.)

These lyrics are embarrassing to read.

It made me feel like I was facing "Black Humor" and "Peninsula Iron Box" again, and I couldn't help but close my eyes.

However, doesn’t this just show that Cheng Yi imitates to the core?

I have learned this skill of squandering natural resources and wasting music!

Then you listen to it a few more times.

What did you see later?

That secret secret love, that cautious liking, that indecisive hesitation...

My God, how many people’s youth is reproduced yesterday in these few lines, in the poor guy in the song who is imprinted with traces of you and me?

Therefore, Cheng Yi’s song is really amazing!

God, God, he imitated Jay Chou and imitated the original one!

God, God, this song is as good as some of Jay Chou's songs!

This song really has the makings of a song!

I already have a premonition of the scene where major music platforms are calling Chengyi’s mobile phone in a series of fatalities!

————

By the way, Cheng Yi said that if he received 3 million likes, he would invite Jay Chou to sing this song no matter what, and now it has exceeded 500,000!

The progress of the comment area is being updated in real time!]

"Yes, yes! It sounds beautiful as soon as you hear it!"

"Why do emotional lyrics need to rhyme? Even if I am the King of Brother K, I may not be able to sing love perfectly!"

"The number of likes has reached 900,000!"

"30,000 likes in one hour, 200,000 likes in five hours, 920,000 likes in 24 hours, 3 million likes, there is really hope!"

[Anyone...

It's that kind of...

When I listened to it for the first time...

I didn't find it amazing...

There are even some...

A small disappointment??

Then the second time, the third time...

Goosebumps arose...

And then it’s like, damn, it’s very similar to some of my experiences...

Damn it, why do I remember him/her?...

Cheng Yi is a bad guy...

Now I declare to be a Cheng Yi fan!]

"Me too, I think it's okay the first time I listen to it. The second and third time I listen to it, I feel like I just want to put down what I'm doing and cry."

“The story in the song is so touching!”

"It would be perfect if Jaylen sang!"

"The stamina is really great, and I am very slow to raise my hand... I was also bombarded by illegal blog searches at the beginning. I felt that it didn't meet my expectations, it wasn't that good, and it didn't sound good... Now I suddenly feel incomparable!

"

[Rather than saying it is an imitation, it is better to say that this is a sincere tribute!

In my opinion, the temperament of the whole song is actually closer to "How Are You", but the segmentation logic of "Confession Balloon" is used to allow the song to use a relaxed tone to express the slight pain of secret love, and the desire to get close but not being able to

The sultryness that dares to be faced directly is mixed with a bit of inferiority complex that feels unworthy of the heroine.

For those who failed to get into a good school in "Split (Leave)", the only option is not to leave without smiling, but also to sell egg cakes in the morning, sing "Confession Balloon" in the afternoon, and watch the starry sky in "Starry Clear" at night.

The arrangement intention of the intro is similar to that of "Sunny Day"... The arrangement method of the main song is based on "Handwritten Once Upon a Time"... The shamisen that expresses longing in "I Miss You, I Write" is added in the interlude, and the strings are added to make the melancholy faint.

dye.

If Cheng Yi didn't have such a strong musical talent, if Cheng Yi wasn't a true fan of Jay Chou, he wouldn't have been able to write this song!

Everything is indispensable!

Hey, please let me express my thoughts using a song by Jay Chou:

From now on, the comics everyone will read will be comics drawn by my fans, and the songs everyone will listen to in the future will be songs written by my fans!

Which song is this? Please type it in the comment area!]

"Like it, the analysis is spot on!"

"Is the song you are talking about "Blue and White Porcelain"?"

"It's clearly "The Offering of Love""

"Don't make trouble with your love, okay? Can you at least choose one of my songs?"

"Okay, may I ask if it's "One Centimeter Distance"?"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to kill him!"

"What's the matter? Why do you suddenly want to kill someone?"

"'One Centimeter's Distance' is a stupid person plagiarizing Jay Chou's song. It is a problem that will definitely explode among Jay fans."

"Laugh to death, okay!"

There are also a large number of comments, some of which analyze the advantages of Cheng Yi's song "Waiting for You to End get out of class" from the perspective of a professional arranger, some of which do market analysis, and some of which simply describe their own feelings when listening to this song.

Some people are more boring and have an experimental spirit, so they listen to Cheng Yi's song to their friends to see if they will mistakenly think it is a song by Jay Chou!

…

Taipei City, Daan District.

On Heping East Road stands a 38-story luxury building.

On the top floor of the building, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, an exotic-looking young woman was sitting on the sofa, looking at her mobile phone happily.

At this time, a man with a round figure wearing pajamas walked past her.

The woman stopped him and said mysteriously:

"Honey, hubby, come here and I'll play a song for you!"
