Let you host the artist, how can you become a superstar

Chapter 290 0289: Sweeping the hip-hop circle
Hip-Hop is the most widely popular hip-hop music. It originated in the street culture of country M in the 20s, and quickly went to the world, becoming a mainstream pop music genre with international influence.

In today's pop music scene, hip-hop and rap (Rap) have basically been integrated, and can be regarded as a pair of inseparable brothers.

On Earth, at the 2009 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Jay Chou used the song "Nunchaku" to let people across the country know and understand this brand new music genre.

Afterwards, rap and hip-hop soon became the main types of music in the Chinese music scene, especially popular among teenagers.

It's the same situation on Blue Star, it's just that the people and time have changed.

As a representative of the new generation of hip-hop singers, Xu Chenyi relies on his own strength and capital operation.

At the beginning, he also wrote hip-hop songs. After signing with Penguin Entertainment, with a gold medal songwriter like Fang Wushui, he seldom wrote it himself. I went to write it myself.

Although he no longer creates music, his liking for singing and being a hip-hop singer has not changed.

but.

In the two years since Xu Chenyi came to Huafeng Media, he was basically acting. Even if there were songs to sing, they were popular songs rather than hip-hop songs.

Therefore, his influence and status in the hip-hop circle has been in decline.

And when he saw that the three songs sent by Django were hip-hop songs, his joy was beyond words, and he almost jumped up and cheered.

"calm down!"

Xu Chenyi took a deep breath, trying to calm down his excitement.

You know, at this time and at that time, after Jiang Ge won ten awards at the Golden Melody Awards and made history, the songs and scripts he wrote are hard to come by. To get a song itself is a very rare thing. Not to mention songs that suit my appetite, and there are still three songs.

His heart skipped a beat for a while, then gradually calmed down, and he focused on the song information.

"In the Name of the Father"...

……

"Inverting the Earth"...

……

"General Order"……

……

Xu Chenyi quickly scanned it several times. The lyrics of the three songs are quite different in style. The melody cannot be felt from the numbered notation for the time being. Fortunately, there is an accompanying audio in the WeChat message.

So, he opened the attachments and listened to them one by one.

The melody is super nice and the musicality is very high, this is his first feeling.

Xu Chenyi's evaluation of a song is mainly divided into two aspects, namely "pleasantness" and "musicality". The former is equal to marketability, and the latter is equal to artistry.

The degree of good-sounding is based on each person's different understandings, different preferences, etc., based on their own subjective judgments, and it is a conclusion that is not supported by certain music theories.

Commenting on the level of music requires a certain basis of music theory as a support. Even if you don’t know how to express how to judge the level of music, you should at least tell what is good.

To put it simply, a good song is not necessarily a musically rich song, on the contrary, a musically rich song must be a good song.

Xu Chenyi combined the lyrics and the melody, savoring the three songs repeatedly. The expressions on his face ranged from surprise to great shock. The song "In the Name of the Father" is amazing.

Generally speaking, the main rap part of hip-hop songs has no melody, and what comes out of Rap is only rhythmic. However, the main rap part of this song not only has melody throughout, but also incorporates polyphony and bel canto.

Especially the one-and-a-half-minute long prelude, first the saxophone, bass, and guitar are broken down, and the drum kit is slowly added, and then enters the main song, advancing layer by layer, without repetition, which makes the whole song sound more textured.

That's for sure, because this song was first broadcast simultaneously on more than 7 radio stations across Asia that year, and a total of 16 million people listened to it, so July [-] is also designated as "Jay Chou Day" every year.

"The melody of this song is as exquisite as a magical workmanship, what kind of hip-hop songs I sang before!"

Xu Chenyi became excited again, already lying on the sofa and dancing.

In fact, in this impetuous era, the output of singers and songs is very high, but many of them can't get out of the circle, and the popularity of singing is very limited. It is very rare for a singer to have a song that can be recognized by everyone. Something many young singers aspire to achieve.

He has always wanted to have a hip-hop song whose name can be thought of when he mentions the title, and now he has it, which is "In the Name of the Father".

Of course, the other two songs "Inverting the Earth" and "General's Order" have their own characteristics and are pleasant to the ear, but they are still a bit short.

Xu Chenyi shared the news with Guan Yansi as soon as he recovered from his mood: "The three songs given to me by Director Jiang are going to sweep the hip-hop circle."

Guan Yansi was waiting in the waiting room of the airport. After seeing the news, she typed a reply: "Your wish has been fulfilled, then sing well, and don't disappoint Chairman Jiang's expectations."

------

Early the next morning.

Jiang Ge entered the office and was surprised to see Xu Chenyi inside, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Then, seeing him with two panda eyes, he said again: "Sang all night?"

Xu Chenyi scratched his scalp and said, "I've been practicing since I got the song."

Django sat down on the sofa opposite him, and said, "Then take a good rest, just let me know on WeChat if you have something to do, you don't need to come to the company."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern. Actually, I'm fine. I'm in good spirits. I often play games with Lin Yu all night during the holidays." Xu Chenyi smiled, and then said: "After a night of research, "Inverting the Earth" and "General Order "Basically there is no problem, but "In the Name of the Father" cannot be sung well."

As he spoke, he scratched his scalp again and said, "So, I came here to ask you for advice."

Django smiled and said, "This song is more difficult to sing."

Just kidding, "In the Name of the Father" is known as one of Jay Chou's three most difficult songs to sing, the other two being "Ninja" and "Stop the War".

Xu Chenyi smiled wryly, "It's not easy to find a rhythm."

That's true.

Although the style of "In the Name of the Father" is particularly easy to remember and very "top-notch", it is difficult to find the corresponding rhythm for those rap lyrics, the pronunciation is fast, and the lyrics are dense.

Another reason why it is difficult to sing is that the singing and rhyming of Jay Chou's songs are quite special. Sing twenty words consecutively in less than three seconds.

Django stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the recording studio and sing for me to see what your problem is."
