Chapter 1026 The only one who can defeat Brother Fan is Brother Fan!
Overnight, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" swept across China at a crazy speed.
This song could be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys. The school radio station also started playing the song on loop. Even major social media platforms were flooded with this song.
Especially the music critics, they were simply going crazy, one by one they published long articles as if they were writing a thesis, all of them were arguing about how good the song "Blue and White Porcelain" was, what made it good, and what level it was in the music scene.
A long and eloquent article is no longer enough to satisfy the music critics' desire to express themselves, and some even specially recorded commentary videos.
Fans and passers-by clicked in to watch the video out of curiosity. Wow, a song that is only four minutes long, but the commentary video took an hour and a half!
This is indeed a bit scary, but fans couldn't help but click on the commentary video out of curiosity.
As soon as the video came out, Huang Jie's chubby round face appeared in front of the audience: "Hello everyone, it's me again, the famous Lin Chui Huang Jie. Friends who are familiar with me know that in my place, you don't want to hear any bad words about Brother Fan.
If everyone agrees with this, then you can just listen to me. If you don’t agree, put a cross in the lower left corner, and leave. Don’t come again.
So are you ready? I'm about to start!"
It has to be said that Huang Jie, as a senior fan of Lin Fan, is still very famous in the industry. Ever since Lin Fan released "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" that year, Huang Jie has become a loyal fan of Lin Fan.
As long as it is a song released by Lin Fan, Huang Jie can praise it from beginning to end in various ways, without repeating himself. But when it comes to other singers on the market, Huang Jie is not so easy to talk to. He is never vague when he should be sarcastic, and never uses a single dirty word when he should scold.
It is a famous double-standard brand in China.
In addition, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is the title song of Lin Fan's new album that he has been working on for two years. No matter from which aspect, it is an impeccable and perfect work.
This kind of work is Huang Jie's favorite, because even if he praises it with his eyes closed, he doesn't have to worry about praising it wrongly. What's more, this song has too many details and there are too many things worth praising.
However, Huang Jie understood that if something was too professional, the general public would not be able to understand it. Instead, it would make them feel bored because of their misunderstanding.
So there are some rules for how to praise.
So the first thing Huang Jie said was: "The word that moved me most in the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is the word 'wait'.
What are you waiting for? The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you. This line of lyrics has a history.
We know that the most critical step in firing porcelain in ancient times is the firing process. As for the pure and top-grade azure color of Ru kiln, there is a saying that azure color after rain is a very difficult color to make, and porcelain will only appear azure color under misty and rainy weather conditions.
This kind of weather is hard to come by, we can only wait.
And the saying of sky blue color also has its origins.
It is said that in ancient times, Ru kiln was used exclusively by the royal family. After the kiln officials finished firing the Ru kiln, they asked the emperor to name the color. When the emperor saw this beautiful porcelain, he wrote with a stroke of his pen, "After the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds are bright. This color will be used in the future." Therefore, sky blue became the official color name of Ru kiln porcelain.
Huang Jie's explanation, which quoted from classics, immediately elevated the literary quality of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" to a higher level.
In addition, Huang Jie did a lot of homework, breaking down each line of the lyrics and explaining to the audience in detail what techniques Lin Fan used here and what rhetoric he used there, as if he was interpreting a song as an excellent ancient Chinese essay.
The key is to make the words meaningful and every sentence hits the point, making this one and a half hour commentary video not only not long-winded but also interesting and making people unable to stop listening.
Moreover, the story about "the blue sky waiting for the mist and rain" became extremely popular on the Internet and soon spread throughout the entire network.
【萌萌rabbit: So there is such an allusion in Fanfan’s lyrics? Oh my god, I thought it was just written like this for the sake of rhyme. It turns out that I misunderstood Fanfan! Fortunately, I didn’t blindly publish my opinion on the Internet, otherwise I would be embarrassed now. 】
[Tremble, mortals: Is the singer-songwriter circle so competitive now? If you don’t know a little bit of historical allusions and little-known knowledge, you are not qualified to write lyrics? Facing an all-round contestant like Brother Fan, I just want to say that it’s too difficult for other singer-songwriters! ]
【See through but don’t say it, we are still good friends: Please, is Brother Fan an ordinary singer-songwriter? Brother Fan is a literati! Do you know what a literati is? He is the one who can write a "Journey to the West" in classical Chinese and make the Chinese government announce that this book will be included in the list of must-read extracurricular readings for students! You compare Brother Fan with ordinary singer-songwriters? Singers and songwriters will cry! 】
…
As soon as this news came out, everyone suddenly realized: Yes, Lin Fan is no longer just a simple singer-songwriter! This guy seems to have completely become the successful person that everyone dreams of: he makes movies, and the movies are big sellers; he makes TV series, and wins the annual drama king; he appears in variety shows, and they become phenomenal; he releases albums, and they attract everyone's attention! All of the above can also comfort everyone, saying that they are all within the scope of the entertainment industry, and even if he succeeds in everything, it is not too much.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
But Lin Fan insisted on writing piano music, concertos, comics, and novels—even classical Chinese versions—and he succeeded in all of them. Isn’t that infuriating? So, pity other singer-songwriters and expel Lin Fan from the singer-songwriter circle. This guy should just have his own cultural circle. Anyway, no one can compete with him in the circle where he is.
Huang Jie concluded his video with a summary: "In the context of popular music, 'Chinese style' pop songs are a unique form of music that has swept across China.
The influence of "Chinese style" songs cannot be underestimated. It changes the traditional concept of music in people's minds. Of course, the popularity of "Chinese style" is attributed to musicians represented by Lin Fan, who updated the concept of pop music and presented a perfect music feast to the public.
Nowadays, "Chinese-style" songs influence the music appreciation level of most young pop music lovers, and also promote the inheritance and development of "Chinese-style" songs.
The song "Blue and White Porcelain" will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of the current "Chinese style" songs. As for whether there will be someone who can break Brother Fan's record and write a better Chinese style song in the future, I will wait and see.
But, there is one thing I have always said! The only one who can defeat Brother Fan is Brother Fan!"
