Chapter 45: Rushing to the Top [Thanks to "Star Black Earl" for the reward]
Gao Shan entered the keyword and searched, and it actually came up for her!
NetSheng Music, Lin Fan’s original song, "I Caught a Cold in That Corner".
Wangsheng Music offers a free trial listening opportunity, and Gao Shan did not hesitate and clicked on the trial listening button.
A melodious and clear piano sound came out from the player. Gao Shan was not a professional musician, so she couldn't tell how great the piano accompaniment was. She simply thought it sounded nice.
Then Lin Fan's voice came in along with the accompaniment.
It was still the same "Darling, darling, darling" from the first stage, but compared with the studio version, Lin Fan's singing skills have improved significantly, and his emotions are fuller and more fitting. With the piano accompaniment, the whole song is even better! Gao Shan was immediately moved and clicked the paid download button! After downloading, she couldn't help but post it on her Weibo to recommend this song to her friends.
[On that high hillside: I recommend a new song to everyone, it's really great! #《我那一天角落患寒风》@晨星-林凡]
After Gao Shan posted the super blog, she refreshed the page and saw someone replied to her.
[This ID has been blocked: Sister! I also downloaded it! It’s really great! ! ]
[Your education is prenatal education: handshake! I downloaded it too! ]
[Here comes a 1986 chicken feet: set as mobile phone ringtone~~~~~~~~~~]
…
Seeing that her favorite song was liked by her friends, Gao Shan had a sense of satisfaction of "encountering a soulmate in the mountains and rivers", and could not help searching for relevant information about #《I Had a Cold in That Corner》# in Chaobo.
One of the music critic's blogs caught her attention.
The ID of this critic is [Moral Integrity is Too Expensive for You to Afford], and he claims that he never makes bad money, never whitewashes bad songs, and only focuses on good music. He published a long review on the song "I Caught a Cold in That Corner".
Gao Shan didn’t understand the professional knowledge at the beginning, so she simply skipped to the end and only looked at the results.
[Moral integrity is too expensive for you to afford: Real pure music is a purely auditory art. It should be abstract, non-propositional, non-semantic, and express everything entirely through the musical content itself.
In the art form of songs, since almost all songs have lyrics, the music part has lost its independent meaning to varying degrees, and most of the weight is placed on the lyrics that can make the music popular, straightforward, and universal. It completely serves the content of the lyrics and limits the music to a specific answer. Therefore, the real musical connotation of pop songs is actually not much.
But this song is a typical exception. It abandons the lyrics that restrict the music itself, and completely uses pure music to interpret the connotation. The vocals are instrumentalized, and the internal harmony, tonality, and color of the music are used and brought into play to a high level. The depth of the music far exceeds that of ordinary songs, leaving the audience with more imagination and different understandings, thus realizing the synesthesia, abstraction and multi-interpretation of the music.
So I think that although this song is short, it is a rare masterpiece among popular songs!!!
However, I feel it would be better if this song was sung by a female voice! 】
The evaluation can be said to be very high!
More importantly, this music critic himself has many fans. As the saying goes, fans grow with the times. His fans have very similar musical tastes to his own. Such a long review from him directly brought a wave of exposure to this song.
He is not the only music critic like this.
A well-known pianist on Chaobo also made a comment, but his focus was not on the song itself, but on the piano accompaniment of the song.
[Zhou Xin: A successful musical work is the composer's original ideological motivation, which drives his creative inspiration and makes his work rich in profound ideological connotations, imaginative and expressive.
Through the performers' highly skilled playing techniques, good music works can be conveyed to the audience. The musical performance should be dominated by emotions and should be a perfect combination of sensibility and rationality.
Music that simply shows off skills is soulless, so the two must be organically compatible and interdependent to achieve the ideal effect.
Therefore, playing the piano also requires superb skills. I can tell you responsibly that the piano accompaniment of this song "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" is of such high level that it is internationally famous. I think this person should not be an unknown person in China, but unfortunately he does not want to reveal his name. 】
In today's Chinese music scene, although records are in decline, the sales of songs are not low. If calculated solely by sales, today's digital albums can even beat the records of previous talented singers.
But passers-by didn't buy it.
Because most of these sales are driven by fans' votes, the songs are only popular within the fan circle. But if you ask passers-by if they know the songs of a certain idol, nine out of ten passers-by will tell you that they have never heard of it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Not only have I never heard of it, but even if I have heard of it, it is still difficult to accept.
Even hearing the name of a certain idol makes me feel disgusted. It's nothing, it's just that the fans are too hyping, but the idols and their songs are totally inconsistent with the fans' praise, and the fans still insist on recommending them to passers-by, it would be strange if I didn't feel disgusted.
But Lin Fan's song is different. First of all, it was not hyped up by fans, but the quality of the song itself is excellent, which won the favor of passers-by and has a certain passer-by base.
However, since the song was not recorded and uploaded during the first stage, this part of the passers-by base was not fully utilized and fell into silence.
Then, students from the Morning Star program took the initiative to help Lin Fan promote on Chaobo, which attracted some attention.
Next came a group of dedicated fans centered around Wang Lingli, who, with the help of the attention forwarded by the "Morning Star" students, helped Lin Fan promote his new song within the fan circle.
Finally, these three parts of attention were brewed and worked together to bring enough exposure to "I Caught a Cold in That Corner", which attracted music critics and completely pushed up the popularity! So there are passers-by like Gao Shan who waited until the "Morning Star" theme song task was over before watching the edited version of the initial stage rating. When they heard this song for the first time, they found that they liked it very much, and then downloaded it from the music platform, and couldn't help recommending it to friends, but found that their friends had already downloaded it!
Gao Shan, not knowing whether to be happy or regretful, clicked on Wangsheng Music again and found that the song "I Caught a Cold in That Corner" had been listed on the original music chart this month! The ranking was not low! Seventeenth! You know, when Lin Fan uploaded this song, a week had actually passed in May!
