The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

When I arrived at Zeng Jingyi's house, I greeted Professor Wang Xueqin and Zeng Jingyi's father, Professor Zeng, and then sat down to wait for dinner.

Zeng Jingyi's father is also a university professor, but he is not a teacher at Yancheng Conservatory of Music. Xia Haoyang has not had many interactions with him before, so he will be more reserved in front of Teacher Zeng.

"Come on, come on, Xia Haoyang, come and sit down. We can eat soon."

"Thank you, Professor Zeng."

"I've also listened to your works. Some of them are okay, and some of them are too nonsense."

"Um, haha." Xia Haoyang couldn't explain it. After all, he didn't name the specific song he was fooling around with, so he could only laugh and scratch his hair to relieve the embarrassment.

"Songs like "Hide and Seek" and "The World We Meet Again" are still very nice, and the songs are very pleasant to the ear."

"Thank you Professor Zeng for the compliment. I personally also like "Hide and Seek"." Xia Haoyang deliberately amplified his voice when saying this.

Zeng Jingyi, who had just changed into home clothes from the room, walked past Xia Haoyang and kicked Xia Haoyang in the back.

"But Xia Haoyang, I think your previous works were more free and poetic, and your current works are more ingenious." Professor Zeng seemed to be having a serious conversation.

"Isn't craftsmanship good? Nowadays, everyone talks about craftsmanship." Zeng Jingyi casually interjected.

"For ordinary people and craftsmen, that is of course good, but Xia Haoyang is different. Xia Haoyang is an artist. If an artist is too crafty, you won't say that such a work is too bad. But if it lacks a little bit of humanistic flavor, the spread will be poor. , the influence will be greatly reduced.”

"For example, "In That Distant Place" or "The River Flows", no matter what era you are in, if you feel it with your heart, you can feel its beauty. This is art. And some of your songs now, listen to It's okay once or twice, but then I don't like listening to it anymore. This is because the craftsmanship is too heavy, just like an assembly line modeled work. If there is no freshness, it will not work."

"What we sing are originally popular songs. It's normal that you don't like them after listening to them." Zeng Jingyi defended.

"And the lyrics, what kind of songs are you singing now? The audience actually clapped and applauded. Sometimes a song has no serious meaning from beginning to end. It's all onomatopoeia. What the hell is this?"

Here we go again, in this world that likes ancient charm and Chinese style, Xia Haoyang’s K-pop is indeed the original sin.

Zeng Jingyi was speechless when she heard her father complaining about the lyrics. This was indeed an obvious shortcoming. She could only make a face at Xia Haoyang.

"Our ancient lyrics, Song lyrics are actually lyrics, such as Shuidiao Getou, Jiangchengzi, Dielianhua, these lyrics are songs, and then different authors wrote different lyrics. You see, today, thousands of years later, although they have lost The music score cannot interpret the music of that era, but the lyrics that have been passed down for thousands of years are still fascinating.”

"Standing in the dangerous building, the wind is blowing softly, looking at the spring sorrow, the sky is gloomy. In the light of the grass and smoke, I am speechless, who can follow my thoughts. I want to get drunk with the wild and crazy picture, and sing to the wine, the strong music is still tasteless. Clothes and belts Gradually, I will not regret it, but I will make people haggard because of Yi."

"When you read a poem like this, can the beauty of it be matched by today's lyrics? This is a work that has been passed down through the ages."

"Professor Zeng, first of all, you are right. Works like Liu Yong's "Butterfly Loves Flowers" are indeed famous works that have been passed down through the ages. However, Western music also has pure music like "Canon in D Major" without lyrics, which is also spread all over the world. It has been admired and appreciated for hundreds of years.”

"Yeah, yeah, canon sounds good. I even played the piano version when I was a kid." Zeng Jingyi nodded quickly.

"What's wrong? We're talking about lyrics and songs again." Piano professor Wang Xueqin walked up to the table carrying the last dish.

"Hehe, let's chat casually, chat casually." Teacher Zeng smiled. In Xia Haoyang's eyes, this was another henpecked person.

"Haoyang, how are you recently? I heard from Jingyi that you live in the company every day and are busy writing new scripts every day. When you are hungry, you order takeout. This is not good for your health. How can you make takeout at home? It’s clean and hygienic, so I thought of letting you come over and have a hot meal.”

"Thank you, Teacher Wang, for your concern. I'm in good condition recently. In fact, the company also has a kitchen. If you really want to cook, you can cook at the company. But I've been a little lazy recently. I don't eat much by myself, so I just want to sell things quickly to save trouble."

"Alas, Wanqi's matter has passed. Young people will still experience various setbacks and difficulties in the future. They should be positive and look forward."

"Yes, I know, Teacher Wang." Xia Haoyang replied softly.

"Sometimes it's hard for you to cook alone. So, if you get hungry in the future, or if you want to eat something, just tell me and I'll cook it at home. You can just come over and eat."

"Hey, let me thank Teacher Wang first."

"But speaking of it, Haoyang, your music style has changed quite a lot since graduation. You used to attach great importance to lyrics, but now you pay more attention to melody. It seems that you have gone to two extremes." Teacher Wang Xueqin also felt deeply.

"It's a bit like Linghu Chong of the Huashan Sect. The great disciple of the Qi Sect learned the Dugu Nine Swords of the Sword Sect, and then abandoned the Qi Sect and paid attention to the Sword Sect. However, both the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect are both Huashan Sect. They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to interfere with each other. It's too urgent." Zeng Jingyi said.

"I also think I look a lot like Linghu Chong. Junior Sister Jingyi has good eyesight. By the way, who is Lin Pingzhi?" Xia Haoyang also smiled.

"Bah, I don't want to be Yue Linshan, and you are the one who wants to be Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong is tall and handsome, with a beautiful tree facing the wind. Usually in novels, the male protagonist's little follower is a fat character who is funny and flattering."

"Yeah, a fat guy like me can't get on stage, so I'll write songs for you so that you can shine in front of the stage, and I'll just be the man behind you outstanding heroines."

"Mom, he took advantage of me in front of you."

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. How can I take advantage of you? I am taking advantage of all six of you at the same time."

"Okay, you're not young anymore. Eat well."

Under Professor Wang's intervention, Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi stopped bickering and started eating in a decent manner.

"But Haoyang, China is a country with a long cultural tradition. It is often difficult for you to evaluate the habits developed over thousands of years in terms of right and wrong, just like the "Canon in D Major" you just mentioned. It’s true that music that has been passed down for six hundred years is still loved by people. However, Chinese people have been influenced by Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics and so on for thousands of years, so they pay more attention to lyrics in music. You can’t think that he is wrong. Sometimes you are misunderstood or criticized, and you have to learn to understand others."

"I understand, teacher. I didn't say that it's wrong to focus on words. Good lyrics are the soul of a piece of music and can affect a lifetime. I will also pay attention to propriety in music creation in the future."

Are the lyrics or the song more important? Just as Zeng Jingyi joked about the dispute between the Huashan School's Qi Sect and the Sword Sect, there is actually no need to differentiate between them. Teacher Wang's sincere words are also for Xia Haoyang's good. In fact, only children do multiple-choice questions, but I want the adult world!
