Chapter 395

Yu Chengan's article about Gao Shuang's film soundtrack first attracted widespread attention among Weike's fans.

However, no matter how low-key Yu Chengan was at ordinary times, after all, the identity of Emperor Qu was here.

Moreover, "Kung Fu" has only been released for half a day, and there is very little authoritative analysis available in all aspects.

Except for the reporters who were invited to report, the others couldn't even grab the movie tickets for the day.

Seeing that this wave of heat has already exploded, but he can only stare blankly.

The professional analysis released by the Qu Huang, Yu Chengan, is equivalent to solving everyone's urgent needs.

Messages posted on Weike can not be reposted without special markings, and they can generally be @reposted directly.

As a result, various media and enthusiastic netizens seem to have found an outlet to vent, and the article tops the hot headlines at a frantic speed.

Under this wide dissemination, a large number of music and composition-related professionals soon noticed.

Take a look at the title given by Yu Chengan:

""Kung Fu" - the pinnacle of movie soundtracks, a new height of traditional Chinese music!!!"

Among them, two particularly dazzling words are used, one is "peak" and the other is "new height"!
It is barely acceptable to say that Gao Shuang's film soundtrack is the pinnacle of China.

After all, starting from "Crazy Stone", his perverted investment in the soundtrack has been obvious to all.

But what kind of music dares to take on a new height in the traditional Chinese music that has been developed for thousands of years?
Such exaggerated words made many musicians doubt the source of the article for the first time.

And there are three exclamation marks in a row at the end of the title.

This has to shock a Qu Huang into what kind of continuous amazement can be used?
Yu Chengan is a truly authoritative presence in the Chinese music industry.

Why is his long analytical essay so imprecise?

But when these music circles skipped the forwarding link and entered Yu Chengan's Weike, they realized that all this was actually true? !
It's just out of line! ! !

Wang Xingren's Quhuang review has ended, and the World Association of Literature and Art has approved his Quhuang identity.

Just wait until the end of the new year, about one day in March, when the composer's union level officially changes, you can really be promoted to the second level.

And how did Wang Xingren ascend to the throne of Qu Huang?

There are careful people who have done research on this!
Since officially joining the Composers Union in May last year, in less than a year, he has released dozens of songs that dominate the charts.

It turned the world of Chinese pop music upside down!

This also made his trade union level go up like a rocket.

But the general pop music works can only send him to the gold medal ranks at most is the limit.

If you want to go further, you need to have "palace-level" works to support.

And Wang Xingren does have several brushes...

The "palace-level" pop music version "Nocturne" and the classical piano "Nocturne" series have not only exploded the domestic music circle.

He also took advantage of the trend to turn over various foreign music charts!
Pushed him to the edge of Emperor Qu's promotion.

What's even more unexpected is that "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker" as the soundtrack in his last film are actually two magnificent "palace-level" long symphonies! ! !

Regardless of what his original intention of creating was, just releasing the two "Symphony of the Palace" as the soundtrack to the film made a group of composers unable to help but scold them as insane...

It was also the advent of these two "symphonies" that allowed Gao Shuang to cross the chasm that countless people have worked hard for all their lives, and truly reached the pinnacle of Chinese music.

From his past works, it is not difficult to find that Gao Shuang's creative style has certain rules.

He is very good at pop music, but also deep dive into classical and symphony of Western music.

As for Chinese traditional music?

It is undeniable that Gao Shuang has created some.

The earliest folk rock pioneer work "One Night in Peking" set off a frenzy of localization of rock and roll in China.

Subsequent "Chi Ling", "Knowing", "Big Fish", etc. also have a strong traditional Chinese style.

However, these calculations are only the development of the popularization of traditional music, not pure folk music.

To say the most authentic piece of pure folk music is actually the castanets chased in the movie "Stone".

But that's just an eye-catching soundtrack, and it can't be composed independently.

Therefore, it is generally believed that Wang Xingren Gao Shuang wants to combine his popular music or Western music techniques with traditional Chinese music.

But this attempt is only in the exploratory stage.

As for pure traditional music, it is definitely incomparable with his pop and western music.

This is in line with the general perception of "genius".

Extensive dabbling in a certain industry, with extraordinary ability and understanding for one or two fields!
And Yu Chengan, the "new height of traditional Chinese music", is exactly on the "weakness" that Gao Shuang is least favored by the public.

It's kind of weird anyway!

Filled with doubts, the musicians began to read Yu Cheng'an's analysis, word by word, which was almost "to kill".

The entry point is quite normal, starting from the simple original soundtrack of the film, focusing on analyzing the emotional expression and creative techniques.

At the beginning of each analysis, Yu Chengan also attached a link to the original song on the music platform.

Although most people haven't seen the movie, they can appreciate the essence of many creations by watching these analyses while listening to music.

In the first half of the article, Yu Chengan focused on analyzing "Song of the Wanderer" and "Sabre Dance".

And for these two pieces of music marked with eye-catching "palace level" label.

The musicians were silent for a while after listening to these two pieces, but there was already a distorted face roaring wildly in their hearts:
came back!
He is back! ! !
After being silent for two or three months, "Wang Xingren", who was concentrating on making movies, once again used his "palace-level" soundtrack to arouse the fear of being dominated by the great devil in the hearts of composers...

It's just that this time everyone seems to have calmed down a lot.

Having been devastated so many times, those with a bad mentality have already gone crazy...

However, there are still individual unlucky composers complaining under the music link.

"I... what should I say?"

"Why? Did you release a song this month?"

"No. [-] has just been on the list, and he is about to reach the top!!!"

"Brother, listen to my advice! It doesn't matter whether Gao Shuang is releasing a song or a movie in the future, just walk around and it's over."

"But I'm posting a Spring Festival song! If you miss this month, you can only wait for next year..."

"Condolences..."

"It's good to leave..."

"Ask you how much sorrow can you have, it's like a river of spring water flowing east!!!"

……

With these two "palace-level" Western music as the foundation, the doubts in the hearts of musicians have not subsided at all, but have even become more intense.

No problem!

Isn't this what Qu Huang Gao Shuang is best at?

In particular, the violin solo "Song of the Wanderer" is a rare masterpiece even in the "palace level"! ! !
With such two western music as the foundation, why didn't Yu Quhuang mention it separately in the title, but instead put it under the name of "traditional music"?

Could it be that Gao Shuang's "traditional music" works can surpass these two?

It's as if Gao Shuang pointed at the noses of a group of musicians and said arrogantly: Even my shortcomings are the peaks that you can't reach!

It's so fantastical...

However, this idea has only just appeared in everyone's mind, and the fact has severely slapped everyone with a loud ear scratch!
Anyone who clicked on the next music link at will, and was ready to listen and watch the analysis, was caught off guard by a majestic suona sound.
The loud suona sound, with overwhelming momentum, pushed the atmosphere to its climax in the first second!

This moment!

Countless people just feel their scalp tingling!

The super compressive ability that the composers have exercised has been pushed clean by the sound of the suona! ! !

The sound of the suona gradually decreased.

The pipa sound of the fast round fingers is clear and coherent, with dots forming lines.

The big string is as noisy as a torrential rain.

Xiao Xian whispered.

Pushing, pulling and rubbing, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

The bouncing seven-finger wheel is soft and angular.

With the addition of various musical instruments one after another, the taste of the classics spreads freely.

That kind of enthusiasm seems to have injected infinite power into the human body!

Until the end of the song, the composer who came to his senses hurriedly looked at the song name displayed on the music platform.

"Knife Club Overture"! ! !
Composer: Wang Xingren
Performance: Huaxia Chinese Orchestra

This is a real folk music, and it is a complex folk music symphony!

Suona starts!

That is an effect incomparable to all musical instruments, and the adrenal glands of everyone in front of the screen are stimulated rapidly!
The suona is followed by the pipa, with a lively voice and a feeling of tension.

The two drum beats that appear at the beginning, the bass drum, are strong and powerful, with both shocking power and a deep and tense atmosphere.

This big drum has been deliberately "manifested" and recorded quite domineering, and more frankly, "ru Mao drinks blood"!
The whole "Prologue" is magnificent, even domineering.

For Huaxia Music, which has always been reserved, such a shocking opening is the first of its kind in history!
Yu Chengan also made a sharp comment on this overture in his analysis:
"Xiaodaohui Suite" is a subversive interpretation of traditional Chinese music ensemble! ! !
If Gao Shuang saw this evaluation, he would probably give Cheng An a thumbs up.

The composer of the suite is Shang Yi, a famous Chinese music master.

Interestingly, although Master Shang Yi received formal music education, he studied violin and Western music creation in college.

The "Xiaodaohui Suite" is a stage symphony he was invited to create for the dance drama "Xiaodaohui".

The master of Shangyi, who is not strict with tradition, combines the characteristics of Western symphony, and has made great innovations on the basis of pure folk music.

This has created an immortal classic and added a strong touch to Chinese folk music!
The prelude of "Knife Club Suite" is the most frequently used movement in the soundtrack of Xing Ye's films.

For example, in "Journey to the West", the Supreme Treasure was dotted with three moles to look after the demon mirror, and the Supreme Treasure became Sun Wukong before he fought the Bull Demon King.

"Deer Ding Ji" Hai Dafu made his appearance as Guan Gong, and the emperor used this soundtrack when he appeared on the stage to expose Wu Xiang Huang.

In "Kung Fu", "Small Knife Club Suite" not only rendered the tragic atmosphere when Ah Xing was beaten with all the joints and meridians broken, but also added the finishing touch at the critical moment when the broken point became a butterfly.

The comment area of ​​the "Prelude" section was full of listeners who were shocked and couldn't help themselves.

"It exploded!"

"My Wang Huang is invincible! The opening is a classic taste!"

"As soon as the suona comes out, who will compete?"

"In the folk music, Wang Huang seems to love suona very much, he is going to play with him!"

"The big drum at the back is also quite shocking!"

"The use of pipa and erhu is also very brilliant."

"This is the first time I listen to folk music and my blood boils! Absolutely!"

"Each each other, I used to think that folk music was super earthy, but I didn't expect to be able to be so excited..."

"Prelude? Is there more to come?"

"This is just the opening. The full name is "The Little Knife Club Suite". The story is very strong. It is recommended to listen to it all."

"I always thought that Wang Huang was good at Western symphony, but I didn't expect folk music symphony to be so smooth?"

"Actually, you can still hear some shadows of Western symphony, but it's a little inappropriate to describe this level as slipping."

"?"

"That's pretty slippery!!!"

The whole suite consists of seven movements, which are "Uprising", "Victory", "Protest", "Night Attack", "Ask for Help", "Breakthrough", and "Decisive Battle"!
The prelude part corresponds to the uprising, and the other movements are also distinctive and the themes are clear.

After listening to all, the musicians fell silent again...

The young figure that flashed in his mind can always break everyone's inherent perception of him time and time again, and this time was no exception.

For the "new heights of traditional Chinese music" mentioned by Yu Chengan in the title, it is reluctant to accept...

The level of "Xiaodaohui Suite" is so high that few people can match it in China's current music circle.

Even among the eight emperors of music, there are probably only two people who study folk music who can compete with Wang Xingren on the creative level.

But one of them is already ninety years old, and the other is Yu Chengan, the author of this article!

And Yu Chengan said in a long article: "On the symphony arrangement of folk music, there is a difference between myself and Gao Shuang. If you want to discuss the use of a single instrument in folk music, it is hard to beat the horse!"

Many musicians resented Yu Chengan's modesty.

It is undeniable that Gao Shuang's piano and violin creations are at the top level.

But Yu Chengan is also the best in China in terms of folk music!

Even his promotion to Qu Huang was due to his creation and research on the guqin.

If Yu Chengan is not as good as Gao Shuang in the use of individual instruments in folk music, wouldn't it be a disguised admission that Gao Shuang is already No. 1 in Chinese folk music?

How old is Gao Shuang?
If you want to play a musical instrument deeply, you have to go through countless years of repeated practice and pondering.

No matter how talented you are, there must be a limit!
Judging from the current situation, Gao Shuang has almost mastered the piano and violin.

At the same time, he has a broad understanding of the instruments used in Western symphony and even folk music symphony.

Even modern instruments have unique insights and perceptions.

Then how much energy and time does he have to practice a national musical instrument to the peak level?
Have you practiced the guqin level beyond the level of guqin that Chengan has played all his life?
……

It's a pity that this kind of resentment was called again in the blink of an eye...

At the end of the analysis, the last big tree that killed the camel finally appeared!

Pipa solo "House of Flying Daggers"!
In the remarks of the music, Gao Shuang thoughtfully filled in the words "Battle of Gaixia".

It is to explain the background of the music description.

The Battle of Gaixia is not much different between Bluestar and Earth, and the stories of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are also widely circulated.

With this same historical background, understanding the music is much easier.

Although the whole piece is not long, it can be divided into thirteen paragraphs.

From the preparatory stage of the war, the pipa is used to simulate the sound of war drums, and the ring fingers are used to simulate the sound of horns, so as to arrange formations and point generals.

In the combat part, the Chu army was surrounded by water, and to the climax of the battle of Jiulishan, the lute's superb and complex string twisting skills were used to truly reproduce the tragic war.

Embarrassed on all sides, suggesting that Xiang Yu was defeated.

At the end of the final war, Xiang Yu committed suicide, Liu Bang triumphed and returned to the dynasty, and the music ended.

The whole song is magnificent, full of the chilling sound of golden horses!

This "House of Flying Daggers" expresses a magnificent epic scene in the form of a single instrument solo. It can be said that the Chinese pipa performance art has been brought into full play!
For this piece, Yu Chengan's final comment was surprisingly simple, with only four words:
"Stop the Mountain"! ! !
