First, the album listing press release:
Jay Chou's Pirated Album, Bridge Section and the original Guwan have been released.
Hou Xian, a signing artist of Dongsheng Century, recently released his first "Quanchuang" album "Ancient Night". As a new artist in the Mainland, Hou Xian is really versatile. The ten songs of the whole album, from lyrics, composition to later arrangement, are all arranged by Hou Xian. Moreover, the title songs of the albums "The West Chamber" and "The Bridge" have been circulating for a long time, so Hou Xian not only won the grand prize in singing competitions such as "The Star of China", but also sat on the top of a famous radio chart for six weeks with his single "The Bridge".
Because the fans put the songs on the internet for audition when they were playing on the radio, "Bridge Section" was circulated on the Internet without any formal promotion. The popularity of "Bridge" plus Hou Xian's R&; B style, so that pirates mistake Hou Xian's Bridge for the title song of Jay Chou's latest album in 2005, and illegally produce and distribute it. At present, there are not only several versions of Jay Chou's "New Album" named "Bridge Section", but also the Jay Chou version of "Bridge Section" MV. Pirates cut Jay Chou's previous MV pictures into Hou Xian's "Bridge Section" and "The West Chamber" MV pictures, and released DVDs and VCDs. The boss of a contract company in Hou Xian said with a smile that pirated videos can be spread on the Internet. Although pirates are hateful, this time they saved the company money for filming mv. The "leading actor" is Jay Chou.
Hou Xian, who started composing bands in college and participated in various singing competitions, engaged in editing and producing advertising music after graduation from college, and later became a signing artist of Dongsheng Century with Bridge. Speaking of his songs being regarded as pirated in Jay Chou, Hou Xian said that he actually didn't like others to compare Jay Chou with himself. Although he also likes listening to Jay Chou's songs, he feels that his R&B style is different from that of Tao Zhe and Jay Chou, but it was originally created by Hou Xian and named "Gongdiao R&; B "-that is, China's classical Gongdiao melody, with R& being the most popular; B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Pop and electronic music technology "play", so the name of Hou Xian's new album is called "Antique". The new album has been fully listed, and Hou Xian will also celebrate the listing of his first album in the form of his first concert in June+10, 5438.
Second, the term explanation of the album "Antique"
Quanchuang:
It is called Quanchuang because all the songs of the whole album, from lyrics and songs to later arrangement and production, are arranged by Hou Xian alone. Hou Xian was created by skilled running-in with senior sound engineers in Taiwan Province.
Ancient times:
It implies that the style of the whole album inherits the vein of classical court music from the bones, which will make everyone feel a strong taste of blue and white ceramics from words and music.
"play":
Is to use the most popular R &；; B, Hip-Hop, rap, Pop, electronic and other musical techniques "play"! PLAY-play gongdiao r&; B The concept of music freely runs through every note of Gu Wan.
Why is it named "Guwan"?
Hou Xian said: "I hope my music is like a delicate antique carved by time, because only works of art like antiques can surpass fashion! Become something more tasteful and popular. " Hou Xian will use his accumulated time to precipitate and carve out pop music that everyone likes to collect.
"Palace carving r &；; What kind of idea is "B"?
Hou Xian said: Gongdiao singing belongs to the essence of his own culture, that is, a musical tendency in ancient rhythm, which is different from R &；; B There are many similarities between the majors commonly used in music styles. In addition, the drawl and transliteration of the ancient palace tune "Yiya" are different from those of western R&; The transliteration skills in B are also surprisingly identical. So the two can be very smoothly integrated. With the addition of Gongdiao, the tune of Blue and White has a stronger flavor, with local oriental color, without losing its popular charm. Palace Model and R&; The combination of B-type pop elements can make the nation transcend tradition, make fashion return to the nation, and deduce something with its own unique style.
How to understand the word "postmodern"?
Hou Xian said: Postmodernism is a feeling, and everyone has his own understanding. For me, it is one of the understandings of postmodern chords to use Gongdiao to be popular, to use classicality to reflect modernity and to use antiquity to describe the present.
What are the deductive features of this album?
Hou Xian said: according to the classification of songs, the tunes of the whole album are basically singing in Gongdiao style, which is more traditional and with a little R&; B's transliteration technique is the biggest reason why Chinese and western styles can be perfectly integrated in songs. It is also your greatest feature.
How is the music structure of this album arranged?
Hou Xian said: This album has various themes, such as ancient times, modern times, Renaissance, fantasy and realism. I have made many attempts, and the style is also Gongdiao R &；; Mainly based on B, it combines hip-hop, rap, pop, electronic and other musical techniques, hoping to bring you a rich musical experience.
Third, the album introduction
Hou Xian, a musical genius, made his debut album "Ancient Bay" with ten songs, including the title songs "The West Chamber", "Bridge" and "Little White", all of which were arranged by Hou Xian. As a cutting-edge "Quanchuang" musician in Chinese mainland, Hou Xian created the original "Gongdiao R&; B "pop genre has undoubtedly become the second most popular genre in Jay Chou and Tao Zhe" R&; B "new forces. "Palace carving r &；; B ",that is, China's classical Gongdiao melody, R& is the most popular; B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Pop and electronic music techniques "play". "Guwan" can be described as "Gongdiao R&; B's first album "Ancient Times" and Canon's "Playing Beauty" are records that should be put together with readers of China's classical literature. It is reported that Hou Xian's The Bridge and The West Chamber are very popular. Pirates even mistook Hou Xian's Bridge for the title song of Jay Chou's latest album in 2005, and produced and distributed it. They even cut Jay Chou's previous MV pictures into Hou Xian's "Bridge" and "The West Chamber" MV pictures, and distributed pirated DVDs and VCDs.
Fourthly, the concept of song music:
West wing:
Quoting the famous novel "The West Chamber", in the way I understand, using Gongdiao and R&; "Seeds of Love", 12 years ago, I met the scholar of the young lady in the West Chamber, and 12 years later, the person nominated by the gold medal came to nothing. The emotional lines that embody the modern meaning, and this feeling of using the past as a metaphor for the present, may be Hou Xian's postmodern music style, easily accepted court-style pop melody and intoxicating artistic conception. Let The Romance of the West Chamber become the model of Hou Xian Palace R&; Represents a musical work.
Bridge part:
Originally intended as a plot segment in the film, the flashback structure was adopted. The ancient song "Moonlit Night on the Spring River" with the feeling of old records at the beginning became a naughty R&, and the walls, classrooms and first love of childhood gradually emerged, followed by the rhythm of R & ampb pop music, which set off the romantic childhood scenes one by one: the romantic encounter between grandparents, the old movie played by my father, the cordial nagging of my mother, and the middle pipa playing. Bridge evokes a bridge buried in everyone's childhood for many years.
Xiaobai:
Xiaobai was originally a cute little white dog in Crayon Shinchan, and later became everyone's favorite nickname. Cut to the chase, the voice of "Lala" brings out the pure and refined artistic conception of "Xiaobai". Small white key, simple major, simple rhythm and simple lyrics will make you catchy with comfortable rhythm in less than half a minute. "Little White" expresses the unique simple state of mind of "Little White" in pure love with a tone almost like a child. Xiao Bai's image is exactly the same. In the arrangement, with the popular rhythm, rap and colorful guitar, the complicated arrangement is made into a simple feeling, which sounds simple, but it is not.
It's so truant:
This song with the theme of playing truant is the first in music. At the beginning of a recitation of Tang poetry in a private school, I heard a bookboy beating the rhythm, and then the teacher severely reprimanded him. However, the rhythm of beating rang again, and a solo of "Sheng" instrument was brought into the naughty hip-hop rhythm style, which was brisk and fluent. Classicism is mixed with rebellion, which vividly shows the true thoughts of new mankind. In a truant tone, he made a naughty "revision" of Tang poetry and Song poetry in his book. The word "truant" in the lyrics is actually a person who refuses to be bound by the feudal teaching system, but has an extremely bookish pursuit of self-music. In ancient times, being extremely bookish meant that a person specially endorsed others and read books for others, which broke the embarrassing burden of students' overloaded study under today's exam-oriented education system. It is a brave song to criticize the defects of modern education with an ancient background. In addition, the whole song has a strong Gongdiao color in singing and arrangement. Suddenly, a tap dance music with Scottish violin and applause added a special feeling of children's interest to the music.
Only love Martians:
The popular word "Martians" spread from the Internet and became a classic narration in Stephen Chow's shaolin soccer. Vulgarity refers to a guy who doesn't know anything, but in Love Only Martians, the lovelorn young people prefer to find simple Martians rather than face the complicated love entanglements of the earth again, which is a "new love song" of youthful frivolous romantic fantasy. The combination of light rock melodies full of Scottish style and electronic style, coupled with unpretentious singing, shows the helplessness of young people after falling in love. In arrangement, the smooth concerto of violin and Jinghu brought fresh and refined special effects. Soft-paced rap highlights the psychological state of teenagers' troubles and easily resonates with everyone. The combination of classical tradition and alien science fiction is unforgettable.
Ai Dong:
Coincidentally, the abbreviation of "Tokyo Love Story" is also called "East Love". When you listen carefully, you will know that this love is not that love. "Love in the East" describes "the love story in the East". It describes an ancient couple who secretly conveyed their feelings by riddles. Finally, they were bound by feudal ethics, and the young lady married someone else. They were heartbroken and separated. At the beginning, the palace was full of high and low notes, and the whole song was written.
Goldbach guessed:
Do famous mathematical conjectures have anything to do with popular songs? In this song, the two are endowed with a wonderful connection. The feelings of two people plus one person are complicated and confused, even if the master guesses for a lifetime, there is no result. Goldbach conjecture made a classical R&; B's bold attempt. This song begins with a piece of18th century western classical piano music, followed by a strong R&; B rhythm, even joined the swing style at the climax, and made a new attempt. Piano and guitar concertos jumped out at the door and the end, accompanied by the singing of China traditional opera, which filled the whole song with the spark of bold collision between East and West.
To Anna:
A melodious Russian organ played slowly, which made people think of "Night on the outskirts of Moscow", and then China's flute weaved a beautiful exotic love. In the lyrics, two people live far apart and can only express their thoughts through letters. Beijing on one side and Moscow on the other. Different cultural backgrounds have the same yearning. The whole piece of music is played by organ and flute, which constitutes an ancient or foreign love song and is the biggest highlight of To Anna.
Kick the pavilion:
Kicking the Pavilion, from the mysterious opening to the jumping hip-hop rhythm, coupled with the drum code of Peking Opera in the middle and the singing of babbling, conveys the decisive spirit and national integrity of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers with dramatic plots, which belongs to the songs with brilliant auditory effects in the album, the Hua Dan cavity harmony of the quintessential Peking Opera, and the climax part of the combination of true and false sounds, from the initial sword drawing, kicking the door and breaking in, to the imaginative lyrics conveying ". More importantly, this year marks the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. It goes without saying whose pavilion Hou Xian is kicking.
Nine times out of ten:
When falling in love and breaking up, the lover's sixth sense intuition is accurate and strong in nine cases out of ten. This is a love song about the gray mood when we leave. From the description of the scene when we broke up, to the comparison of meeting and parting at the climax, plus some lazy singing methods and RnB-style melodies of guitar and piano, the memories of lovelorn love and the pain between them are vividly expressed. From the beginning to the climax, "happy sadness" is the biggest highlight.
