Chapter 833 Jay Chou Music Ranking (16)

Jay Chou’s trilogy of suspended wire spare tires are “The End of the World”, “Quiet” and “Black Humor”.

This song "Quiet", as the second part of the Diansi trilogy, I don't know how many times Ancient Silk cried like a similar one. The lyrics of this song are simple and clear, and there is no need to say much.

Let’s talk about arrangement and music. The arrangement method of this song is similar to the ultimate part of the trilogy. Both the first part of the main song and the chorus piano accompaniment, and it is just piano accompaniment. In the second part, drum beats and strings are added. Although it is similar, the artistic conception is very different. This is a very strange feeling. You can experience the composer’s different emotional attitudes and moods. "Quiet" is a completely spared state of mind, reluctance, pain, calmness, relief, and giving up. For different parts, the strength and rhythm of the piano and drum beat are different. Given that the overall method is similar to "Black Humor", here we will only talk about the highlights and differences in the details.

Here I will talk about "Quietness". At the beginning of the few lines, "Only the piano is left...", the tune is very quiet, with a little sadness of the balls, and the piano is also progressing slowly. Until "You are not reluctant to leave" begins to gradually intensify the pain, and "forcing yourself to leave" is already in pain. "You want me to say how embarrassing you", the piano is obviously much more powerful at this time, and every note is sonorous and powerful, and the tune and singing are a bit hysterical. Until the last sentence, it returns to dullness. When the second time, in addition to adding drum beats and strings, the chorus is added after

Duan Repeat is a very outstanding place. With the powerful heavy drum beats, the emotions are released between ups and downs. About 50 seconds and 02 minutes and 50 seconds, is it "I" or just an auxiliary tone after "You are not reluctant to leave"? It is very memorable. The interlude piano is extremely pleasant, especially the sudden drum beats. It seems that the thoughts of despair are awakened. 4 minutes and 20 seconds, several heavy drum beats push the whole song to the climax, and the emotions reach the peak. 4 minutes and 42 seconds. "I will always live well", step on the rhythm of the drum beats, and cooperate with the singing style, and express my emotions to the extreme.

The song "Quiet" is always a popular song for major KTVs. Many people think that the song "Quiet" is easy to sing, and the high notes are not particularly obvious. Unfortunately, few people can sing this song well. One of the key reasons is that they did not grasp the key to this song. If you listen to this song carefully, you will find a very obvious place. Many places of this song are actually fluctuating, breathing, height and low, and even many places go from low to high, or from high to low in one sentence. For example, "I will force myself to leave." For example, "I don't have this talent, and you will accept him." "I really don't have talent, and quiet is not so fast", "I really", these words are hard, "no talent" is lazy. This situation is repeated at the end

The chorus is particularly obvious and is also the most critical part of the whole song. This feeling should be both hard and lazy. But the breath of this song must be sufficient at all times. How to keep the breath? Try to enter the state quickly. Try to pretend to vomit, retching, or hiccups, which is not to make you really vomit... Of course, will your abdomen be cheered up when you make the sound of "vomiting"? Touch and watch, and then keep this state as long as possible, and then learn to pronounce it in this state, "the amount of amount of amount"". Don't stop in one breath until the breath is exhausted, practice more. In fact, the song "Quiet" is particularly suitable for beginners to practice breathing. In addition, there is another part of this song that is the ending resounding. It will be very good if the breath is practiced.

This song "Quiet" is almost the introductory song that many Jay fans have officially become a brain-breaking entry. It is one of the songs sung by Jay, many people's favorites. At that age when he was a little thoughtful and melancholy, almost most of his melancholy was entrusted to this song, the piano in the prelude, every lyrics, every melody, and even every drum beat behind them, were once so familiar. Together, there were only piano music and full memories.

After "Quiet", Du Xinghe released Fang Yajun the 8th place in his mind "Blue and White Porcelain"!

...

The plain embryo outlines the blue and white pen tips to turn into thinner ~

The peony depicted in the bottle is like your first makeup~

I understand the thoughts of Ranran Sandalwood through the window~

I put half of the pen on rice paper~

...

Glaze color rendering the charm of the lady's pictures is hidden privately~

And your sweet smile is as if it is about to bloom~

Your beauty is scattered~

Go to a place I can't go ~

...

The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain~and I am waiting for you~

The smoke from cooking stoves rises ~ thousands of miles across the river~

The calligraphy on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty~

Just think of my foreshadowing for meeting you~

...

The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain~and I am waiting for you~

The moonlight was salvaged ~ the ending was faint ~

Like the blue and white porcelain that has been passed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful on its own~

Your eyes are smiling ~

...

The white and green koi are leaping at the bottom of the bowl~

I miss you when I copied the Song font signature~

The secret you have hidden in the kiln for thousands of years~

Extremely delicate like an embroidery needle falling to the ground~

...

The banana leaves outside the curtain make the rain suddenly and the door ring makes the green ~

And I passed by the Jiangnan town and got you offended~

In the ink-splashing landscape painting ~

You were hidden from the depths of the ink ~

...

The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain~and I am waiting for you~

The smoke from cooking stoves rises ~ thousands of miles across the river~

The calligraphy on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty~

Just think of my foreshadowing for meeting you~

...

The sky is blue waiting for mist and rain~and I am waiting for you~

The moonlight was salvaged ~ the ending was faint ~

Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, you are beautiful on your own~ You have a smile on your eyes~

...

From "A lonely lamp of separation stands at the window" in "The East Wind Break" to "You are sad and beautiful when you are separated" in "The Snow" to "The Snow is sad and beautiful when you are separated" in "Thousand Miles Away" to "I will send you away, and thousands of miles away, you are silent black and white", separation and hatred are the eternal theme of the singer. "Blue and White Porcelain" is another Chinese style sung by Jay Chou, but its sorrow and separation are described more graceful and delicately, hidden more implicitly and charming, as if green olives are in the mouth, which can be slowly savored.

In terms of artistic conception, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a misty and rainy ink and water landscape in the south of the Yangtze River. The water and clouds can be vaguely seen as the white clothes and plain sleeves fly; in terms of the lyrics and sentences, "Blue and White Porcelain" is a simple heart paper written with a beautiful pen ending to the window. The strokes are tortuous because the heart is like a double silk screen, with thousands of knots in it; in terms of melody, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a mountain spring stream flowing quietly on the stone in the breeze, clear, transparent and winding and looping, with endless meaning; these three are superimposed in one place, "Blue and White Porcelain" is like a mountain spring stream flowing quietly on the stone in the breeze, clear, transparent and winding and looping, with endless meaning;

The song "Porcelain" is just like its name. It is just like the best celadon that "beautiful by oneself", which is washed away with all the dew, is simple and elegant, fresh and smooth. The guzheng is teasing, the teeth are crisp, and the pipa is gurgling. The Chinese style of "Blue and White Porcelain" is particularly moving. Jay Chou uses a series of words such as "simple embryo", "lady" and "Han Li" to describe the style of blue and white porcelain. Jay Chou's singing style is tender and simple, with a little bit of the prototype of Jiangnan opera. The wonderful lyrics and retro music form a masterpiece.

There is no doubt that for a pure Chinese style, "Blue and White Porcelain" is undoubtedly the ultimate and perfect, and is the pinnacle of Fang Zhou's Chinese style works. From the first album "The Lady", Fang Wenshan showed his own Chinese classical literature, and what about his partner Jay Chou? When choosing the lyrics, Jay Chou favored Fang Wenshan's self-confessed works, which made Wenshan appreciate his partner more and more. It turned out that Fang Wenshan always prepared many lyrics for easy choices for the sample handed over by Jay Chou, while Xiao Zhou always chose the one he loved most, such as "The Lady". Later, Wenshan began to slowly understand Xiao Zhou's preferences, and the subsequent wild and imaginative work became more and more comfortable, "Narclaw" and "Shanghai 1943".

After a period of attempts and exploration, Fang Zhou's combination of Chinese classical culture and Western pop music has gradually taken shape. In the album "Ye Huimei", Jay Chou adopted the Chinese classical "Palace Mode", that is, the five-tone mode of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu. Under the standard of "Three Ancients and Three New", he wrote a unique work "Dongfeng Po", and Fang Wenshan was the first to have a song title as a song title, and wrote an antique lyrics. From then on, the Chinese style finally had a milestone work.

In fact, "Dongfengpo" is not just a Chinese style, but should not be just a Chinese style. Due to its experimental and innovative nature, "Dongfengpo" is more like a combination, a new style of diverse and diverse music. The emotions contained in it are also sad. For the ancient style, it is not so pure but just not so pure, which also makes "Dongfengpo" more possibilities.

Back to "Blue and White Porcelain", when the Chinese style is becoming increasingly mature and perfect, Chinese style songs that are increasingly ancient-style and charm have become the new standard. After experiencing the baptism of "Thousand Miles Away", "Chrysanthemum Platform", and "Hair Like Snow", fans and the public's ears have become increasingly aesthetically fatigued. For Jay Chou, who is about to release a new album, there is a long way to go for Jay Chou, who is about to release a new album. Under the Chinese style offensive of a latecomer, under the siege of Jiang Lang, and under the siege of his talents, can Jay Chou complete that gorgeous reversal?

The surprising "Cowboys are Busy" surprised everyone. Many people should like this song after listening to it too much. Occasionally, they will feel very happy. In fact, this American country song is definitely a sincere work now and has a lot of charm. But when I heard it, it was no longer the taste of Jay Chou, and it was gone and it felt proud when I heard it.

Looking back many years later, many people will find that a pretty good song actually gave people another choice on the list. But at that time, many people were extremely disappointed. Almost all the fans of Jie's at that time would feel disappointed when they listened to that song. In this case, the second wave of "Blue and White Porcelain" came! It was so devastating! Du Xinghe only remembered that a guy in his dormitory who never listened to Jay Chou's songs and despised Jay Chou, and he ran for the whole afternoon!

Du Xinghe can still remember his feelings when he listened to "Blue and White Porcelain" for the first time. That was four words: natural! Eight more, flowing clouds and flowing water, like a spring breeze! Sixteen more, fresh and refined, gentle and elegant, with endless aftertaste!

No song by Jay Chou can bring such a deep feeling to him when he first listened to it, and other singers are even more vague. If he had to rank at that time, he would basically sweep the one-on-one challenge. I want! Fight! Ten! A feeling of numbness in my whole body, and I still have a lot of joy in my ears.

Next is the influence of this song. The singing level is already cloudy. You can hear passers-by humming everywhere on the university campus. The singing level can no longer represent the height of this song, but the influence.

First of all, this song became a hot topic of online discussion, and the major rankings were basically the first. Later, it was directly used as a test question, which triggered a wave of discussion at that time. Regarding whether it should be used as a test question, Meng Fei also participated in the discussion on this matter in the program. Later, the Olympic preparations, facilities with blue and white porcelain as the theme became hot topics, such as the opening of the Olympic blue and white porcelain Olympic subway line in Beijing, such as the blue and white porcelain atm cash machine on the street. In the end, even the Olympic etiquette lady also wore blue and white porcelain dresses, and the last Jing De-speaked. This was a piece of news at that time: "The more national it is, the more global it is. In today's highly developed modern civilization, blue and white porcelain (elements) are an important part of Chinese elements.

With its unique charm, it continues to extend outward. Jay Chou's song "Blue and White Porcelain" is sung throughout the country. It is worth mentioning the use of blue and white elements in the Olympic Games, such as the latest release of blue and white elements series in the Olympic etiquette clothing, the entrance and exit of the Olympic branch Beitucheng Station with the characteristics of "blue and white porcelain". Telephone booths of blue and white elements, etc., more and more designs are constantly injecting blue and white elements, which further sublimated the blue and white elements. Blue and white elements are no longer the patent of porcelain. The use of modern architecture, clothing design and other aspects shows the unique charm of blue and white elements." It can be seen that the effect brought by this song at that time has actually driven an industry and has been widely used by designers.

At the Golden Melody Awards in the second year, "Blue and White Porcelain" was also the only one. Even Jay Chou joked that it would be better to go out on the ep if he knew it. In the same year, Jay Chou sang "Blue and White Porcelain" solo on the Spring Festival Gala, which also made the popularity and influence of this song reach its peak! At this point, we can say that Jay Chou counterattacked in the Chinese style, and the counterattack was so powerful.

Let’s look back and see why this song was so powerful when it first came out? This has to start with the song itself.

Let’s talk about the words first.

Fang Wenshan took great pains to write this poem. How did this poem come about? How was it completed? It is said that Fang Wenshan met several friends who appreciated antique art. In the chat with them, sometimes bronze, sometimes Song porcelain, sometimes Ming and Qing furniture, etc., which span thousands of years of talk about the past and present, he triggered his motivation to use the Chinese artworks that have passed down from generation to generation as the name of the song.

At that time, the first thing Fang Wenshan thought of was bronze ware. It was originally intended to use bronze ware that began to be cast during the Shang Dynasty as the name of the song, using the thickness of bronze to symbolize the steadfastness of love; using the mottled copper rust of thousands of years to describe the vicissitudes of the world; and using the inexplicable inscriptions on the vessel to illustrate the mystery of the oath.

But when I first started writing, I found that the tune of Jay Chou's song was gentle and gentle, elegant and unworldly. So much so that all the scenes of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River appeared in his mind. Also, because the bronzes at that time were also made into weapons to kill enemies at the same time, this made the three words "Bronze ware" too thick and clumsy, and full of the smell of fighting smoke, so the lyrics that were still in the conception were given up before they could be finished writing.

Later, Fang Wenshan selected Ru kiln porcelain, which was once prosperous during the Song Dynasty, mainly because of its rarity. Due to the war and the glaze formula and kiln changes in the firing process, there were only more than 70 Ru kiln treasures that have been passed down from all over the world, which is a national treasure and is extremely precious.

But the problem arises again, because the pure and top-quality Ru kiln only has one color, which is "sky blue", with no fancy patterns at all, and the shape is simple and elegant. In my opinion, it looks like the works of a master of minimalism today. Although it has a simple connotation and a durable texture, it always feels that it is not enough to describe a bizarre and changeable love, love and hate.

Although I did not use Ru kiln as the lyrics name in the end, when I collected writing materials, I wrote the first sentence of the chorus "The rain passed the sky and the sky was blue and the clouds were the future." This sentence was rumored to be written by Emperor Huizong of Song. Because the Ru kiln was specially used by the Song royal family at that time, the kiln officials completed the fire of Ru kiln porcelain and asked Emperor Huizong to name it, Emperor Huizong of Huizong of the emperor criticized: "The rain passed the sky and the clouds were blue and the clouds were the future." After that, the sky was blue and the color was the color named by Ru kiln porcelain.

But later Fang Wenshan gave up using Ru kiln as the name of the song. In addition to its characteristics not suitable for lingering love, the name of Ru kiln was also slightly less sad enough. After several twists and turns, the song name was finally confirmed to be used as the most representative export artwork of blue and white porcelain in the early days of the Tang Dynasty and has lasted for more than a thousand years.

When Fang Wenshan determined the lyrics of "Sky Blue Waiting for Misty Rain", he wrote the second line of the chorus "And I am waiting for you", so the keywords in the first line of the chorus were born: "Sky Blue Waiting for Misty Rain, and I am waiting for you". Because the sky blue described in the lyrics cannot appear on its own, it must patiently wait for a rain that will not come when it will appear in the clear sky with the cumulus clouds. Because sky blue will appear after the sky clears, and rain will appear first before there will be sky blue. But Fang Wenshan said the opposite, if you want to see sky blue, you can only wait for rain first. Also, the reason why you use "smoke rain" instead of "rain" is purely because the artistic conception of misty rain is relatively beautiful.

The use of the word "火" in the lyrics is Fang Wenshan's experience from the famous verse of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng: "There is no tree in Bodhi, and the mirror is not a platform; there is nothing in it, so where can dust be caused?"

When writing the sentence "Banana leaves make the rain and door rings make the green", Fang Wenshan first used the classical Chinese phrase "Banana leaves make the rain and door rings make the green" to use the scenery into the mood, and then followed the next paragraph in more vernacular "And I passed by the small town in Jiangnan and provoked you" to think that the parallelism was the same. Because the banana leaves and door rings are both static objects, they can only passively wait for the sudden rain and slowly oxidize the green after the years erode; but the "I" synonymous with the personal name is different from the banana leaves and door rings because "

I can move freely, so I accidentally met you by passing through a small town in Jiangnan. I did not wait for you passively, but instead came to know you actively. So although they both used the verb "名" but their initiative and passiveness were completely different. Moreover, in this word Fang Wenshan used three characters "名" in a row. The characters have the same meaning but different usages, which are very interesting. In short, Fang Wenshan wrote this song very hard, but also has a sense of accomplishment.

It can be said that the lyrics of this song are the pinnacle of Fang Wenshan. The lyrics use a lot of rhetorical techniques, which is comparable to textbooks.

Like a metaphor: Taking "the secret you have been hidden in the kiln for thousands of years, very delicate, just like an embroidery needle falling to the ground" as an example, "the secret you have been hidden in the kiln for thousands of years, very delicate" is the "metaphor"; "like" is the "metaphor"; "the embroidery needle falling to the ground" is the "metaphor". Judging from the principle of metaphor "using imagination to explain or describe abstract things with concrete and familiar things", imagination cleverly connects "delicate secrets" and "embroidery needle falling to the ground" in

Together, they present a subtle relationship with each other: the "secret hidden in the kiln for thousands of years" is so delicate that it is carefully cared for, for fear that it will be broken when touched, just like an embroidery needle falling to the ground, so light and subtle, but with a little danger. The sentences "The peony depicted in the bottle is like your first makeup", "Your sweet smile is like a bud, and "Like the blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation, you are beautiful in your own eyes, and your eyes are smiling" are also the complete reflection of the metaphor.

Liedi: Liedi can not only make the tone harmonious, but also strengthen the meaning revealed by the words. "The banana outside the curtain causes sudden rain and the door knocker makes the green, and I passed by the small town in Jiangnan and provoke you" is used in this way. "The banana" that has the intention of provoking it actively makes "banana" and "door knocker" seem to be angry. The banana no longer just accepts his fate and lets the storm drain its body, and the door knocker no longer passively waits for the banana to dye it, and then compares the next sentence "And I passed by that, causing the small town to provoke you", and the whole picture is even more alive. The third paragraph and the fourth paragraph "The sky is waiting for mist and rain, and I am waiting for you" belongs to the category sentence.

Transformation: The most commonly used lyrics in "Blue and White Porcelain" is transformation, such as "I understand the thoughts of Ranran Sandalwood through the window", "I understand the charm of the picture of ladies", "Glaze color renders the charm of the ladies and is privately hidden", "Writing the Han Li at the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty", "The moonlight is salvaged and the ending is faint", "In the ink-splashing landscape painting, you are hidden from the depths of the ink color", "The banana outside the curtain makes the rain and door rings make the green", etc. "A wisp of your beauty drifts away, and goes to a place where I can't go" also belongs to transformation. In this sentence, "beauty" is imitated and becomes a wisp of fog that can float in the air, and goes to a place that the protagonist of the story cannot reach. Beauty is no longer seen. The boundary between people and things is blurred and ambiguous, but the meaning of the word has also become profound and complex.
