Chapter 410 National style album and the queens

Time entered 2011, and the Chinese music scene, which was supposed to be slowly declining, did not enter the Silver Age.

Although those music critics are constantly criticizing, they are still very optimistic about the future of the Chinese music scene.

Even though it is difficult to sell physical albums, compared to the previous life, the situation is undoubtedly much better.

There is a "monster" like Lu Yuan in China. Overseas albums easily sell tens of millions, which is in sharp contrast to the domestic market.

When the relevant stakeholders were setting the pace, they kept talking about how many copies of Lu Yuan's English album had been sold.

Over time, the relevant domestic departments have become much more vigorous in dealing with infringement than in the original time and space.

Some well-informed people have already noticed the change in wind direction.

Next year (Lunar New Year), the relevant departments will take a heavy blow at the issue of piracy and infringement!

This is the result of the joint efforts of film and television companies, record companies, legal circles, international public opinion and other parties.

Perhaps, the 'strictest copyright order' will be born two or three years in advance.

Officials are paying more and more attention to copyright issues, which has also given the recording industry a glimmer of hope.

The new generation power discovered by "The Voice" has added a vitality to the Chinese music scene.

New generation singers such as Zhao Lei, Li Ronghao, Hu Xia, Ping An, Jike, Chopstick Brothers, Guan Zhe, Jin Zhiwen, Deng Ziqi, Yang Zongwei, Yuan Yawei, Zhang Hexuan, etc., gradually came to the stage and became well known to the public.

Among these singers, there are both capable singers and songwriters, who have filled the vacuum period left by the "fading" of the big-name singers.

Finally, because of Lu Yuan, the music styles in the Chinese music scene are also diversifying.

It is no longer popular lyrical music that dominates the world, but works in folk, rock, R&B and other genres are also slowly increasing.

(PS: Let me explain a little, there is YY here, but it is not excessive YY.

Don't underestimate one person's influence on the music scene. Just talking about domestically, Luo Dayou directly changed the style of the Chinese music scene.

There are even more in foreign countries. The popularity of soul music, RAP, R&B, electronic music, rock and other genres is inseparable from the collective accumulated strength, and it is also inseparable from the individual/band leading the trend. )

The first to break through was the folk song track.

Zhao Lei was the first folk singer to break out of the music industry on a large scale. His name as a "folk poet" became more and more famous, and he seemed to be taking up the banner of folk songs.

Other folk singers such as Li Daimo, Ma Di, Song Dongye and other folk singers have also begun to appear in the circle on a small scale.

On the rock circuit, some niche bands such as Universal Youth Hostel, Escape Plan, GALA, Lonely Summer, etc. have also attracted attention.

Some of them have participated in "The Voice", auditions, or national competitions. However, rock music has a small audience in China, and they did not achieve very good results in the end.

The starlight is completely occupied by Deng Ziqi, Yang Zongwei, Zhang Hanyun and others.

But even so, a group of rock fans noticed them.

Music critics have given high praise to "Kill That Shijia Zhuangzhuang" released by Magnum Youth Hotel.

Those independent rock bands and musicians also have mixed feelings about Lu Yuan. They both think Lu Yuan is awesome, but also lament that Lu Yuan is degenerate.

They are the first ones to notice the improvement in the music scene environment.

The album can be sold.

There are more and more music festivals in various places, all of which are inseparable from that man.

But those salivating songs written by Lu Yuan were really hard for them to understand.

It felt like a billionaire running down the street begging for food.

'I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked! '

soon.

The time has come on January 1st.

The much-anticipated album "Photos of the Past and the Present" is officially released.

The album cover of "Reflecting on the Past and the Present" is very simple. The bright moon in the night sky takes up 90% of the cover, and there is a line of small words written in the lower right corner of the album title.

[People today do not see the moon of the past, but this month once illuminated the ancients] Although Lu Yuan did not promote it on a large scale, there were still queues outside many video stores on the first day of the album's release.

Lu Yuan will not give up the release of physical records. Even if digital albums take over the mainstream in the future, he will not abandon this area.

Starting from noon, music critics from all walks of life have published music reviews of "Looking at the Past and the Present".

Yan Jun, editor-in-chief of Tomorrow's Music Circle, couldn't wait to update a long article on his personal blog.

[Surprising new album - "Photography of the past and present"

After Lu Yuan's new album was released, the author immediately bought the CD. The moment I saw the album's inner pages, I was really pleasantly surprised.

Oh my god, Lu Yuan finally gave up on the saliva song.

Although there are a few songs in this album, overall, this album is full of sincerity.

The majestic "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth", the youthful passion "Huaxia China", the folk poem "Once Upon a Time Slow", the ancient style "Phoenix Flying", and the national rock "Splashing Ink" are all excellent works.

My favorite is the cross-century collaboration "Qing Ping Tiao", in which the king of the new era and the queen of the old era jointly perform the eternal masterpiece of the poet Li Bai.

Cooperation that spans thousands of years!

The first half of the song is gentle and tender, and makes you cry as much as you complain. Even though it is a semi-finished demo, you can still get a glimpse of the queen's style.

The second half of Lu Yuan's performance was warm and affectionate, like a trickle, reaching deep into the soul.

The uncomplicated arrangement fully demonstrates Lu Yuan's personal voice characteristics, which is rare in other songs.

In the author's mind, the two are equally matched.

There is no distinction between superior and inferior!

……

correct.

At the end of the article, he criticized "Uncommon Words" and "Su Muzhe" by name. These two songs rhymed for the sake of rhyming, completely abandoning the storytelling of the songs.

Without these two songs, I would give "The Past and the Present" ten points. With these two songs, I can only give it 8.9 points. 】

After the blog post was published, some colleagues who followed Yan Jun immediately left comments below for interaction.

These comments are basically discussions based on the article itself.

However, it didn’t take long for the style of the comment section to change.

Lu Yuan's fans have more or less paid attention to some music critics because of him. After all, "Tomorrow's Music Circle" is a magazine created by Lu Yuan.

The [Children of Tomorrow] selection activity is also in full swing.

Therefore, Yan Jun, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, is also on the attention list of some fans.

At first, fans were certainly happy to see Yan Jun's various boasts, but when they saw the subsequent criticism, they were immediately unhappy.

Although Lu Yuan's fans span all age groups, those older and relatively rational fans think Yan Jun's comments are very objective, but in the eyes of some extreme fan groups, criticism is wrong!

then.

The comment area went crazy. It went from a harmonious discussion to a heated discussion.

Yan Jun couldn't laugh or cry when he saw those comments.

He must be happy that the music critic is being noticed by music fans, but he really can't understand some of the comments.

Are only praises allowed in this world?

No dissent at all?

So what do we need practitioners like them for?

Living in praise all day long, what will happen to a person?

Go to heaven where you are?
