Recently, have you watched the drama "Sea of Stars"? You who have watched the play will definitely have a deep impression of the role of Liang Bing, she is atmospheric and righteous, cute and inspirational, or the heroine Jane Ai's mentor and friend, love and kill each other' life mentors.
It is Liu Tao who plays Jian Ai, and it is Dai Xiaoying who plays the role of Liang Bing.
Dai Xiaoying is an excellent actor and an excellent singer-songwriter. Moreover, Dai Xiaoying seems to have not let the identities of film and television and music "use each other" at the level of topics and hot spots all the time. Her music has always been pure, that kind of pure goodness.
Dai Xiaoying's songs are really good, and anyone who has heard it can appreciate it. And this kind of good listening, not the kind of simple melody to catch the ear of the good sound, but on the basis of pleasant sound, people can sink, through the mirror image of the song, see their own appearance, recall their own past, as well as those who have loved, done things, experienced things... And so on and so forth.
For example, the latest release of "Language" today.
Which Chinese, when he was young, he did not go to "Language". When we were young, we always just used "Language" as a textbook, learning pinyin, learning words, and learning composition through "Language", for a good result, but also for a vague future and life.
And this time Dai Xiaoying's "Language" really makes people feel a concrete life. The poems on the blackboard, the prose on the homework book, when these familiar figurations jumped in the ears through music, suddenly found that "Language" was actually a certain script of life.
Many of the classic passages in those "Language" textbooks are related to our lives, and even we occasionally walk into those sentences and those scenes. As a result, "Language" is no longer a textbook, but a life.
What is the purpose of listening to music? Some people say it is just for pure sensory entertainment, some people say it is pleasant to the ear and touch people's hearts. Of course, these points are important, but it seems to me that the highest level of music, in addition to these, should be the kind of touch, the kind of touch that reminds you of something through music and lyrics, through playing and vocals, and can trigger something.
For example, the song "Language" makes the "Language" textbook and the life script form a connection, which is not only an innovative and heartfelt concept and angle for the creator, but also forms an emotional impact and thinking echo on the listener.
When the song "Let's Two" was released at the beginning of this year, I specifically mentioned the association between Dai Xiaoying and Li Zongsheng. This connection is not to say what formal image, or even a rigid set of relationships, but the creation and expression of Dai Xiaoying in the past two years has indeed reached the experience of "crossing the hill".
That kind of sighing song tone, that kind of self-singing calmness, coupled with the real and pure temperature expression in the music, now Dai Xiaoying has formed his own distinct musical expression system from the musical level, and this system has nothing to do with the external style, just like many singer-songwriters in the eighties and nineties, this system is first of all an inner temperament, and from the inside and outside to form a style.
Just like the song "Language", although the tune is simple and the interpretation is simple, it has great thickness. This thickness, first of all, stems from The emotional density of Dai Xiaoying.
The lyricist Dong Yufang's musical texts not only write about those who are ruthless in the world, but they do not lead the works to the unworthy negativity and decadence of the human world. Although it sounds cruel, the whole song is a process of constant collision with self and life, without specific answers, but truly restores our lives.
In particular, Dai Xiaoying's narrative tone rises and falls, and even in the interpretation of the sentence "People who watch drama do not need to read the script", through the natural drama of the sentence, it presents a virtual and real interaction sense similar to "I sing on the stage, you look offstage", and also makes life and the script suddenly appear in front of the listener's eyes, forming an emotional impact.
Although, many people will still give her the label of "Youze Song" because of Dai Xiaoying's identity. However, in my opinion, Dai Xiaoying obviously through filming, through the involvement of various themes and roles, so that he can have a better environment and conditions than ordinary singer-songwriters, so that he can combine his own music "Language" textbook from a variety of different lives.
Even from the perspective of a music singer-songwriter, Dai Xiaoying is unique, not only has an excellent lyricist like Dong Yufang as a long-term partner, but also has formed a distinct personal music system in the composition of melodies and the interpretation of vocals.
Dai Xiaoying's singing and composing not only has the purity and authenticity of folk songs, but also has the pleasant and beautiful sound of popular music, as well as the unique sensibility and delicacy of female creators. And on the whole, it is also on the basis of urban pop music, but without losing the fresh and frank texture, the expression of emotions is also a grievance, a relief, both helpless and calm.
For people with certain life experience, Dai Xiaoying's songs are undoubtedly good works for healing and healing. They are not obscure and profound, but they are not too shallow, they can reach the soul, they can talk to themselves, they can also sort out their own lives, and adjust the relationship between themselves...
On the one hand, there are film and television drama works such as "You Fei", "Heavy Fire on the Moon", "My Motherland and Me" and "Street Baby", on the other hand, there are music creations such as "Rhythm", "Noise", "Wear", "We Two" and "Language", Dai Xiaoying walks a similar and not similar life at both ends of art.
In film and television dramas, she is diverse and changeable, while she is distinct and unique in musical works. To a certain extent, the former is accumulation, the latter is an export, and it is also very similar to our life, but most people who cannot create can only activate their own experience and life through the works of others.
The only regret is that the interval between Dai Xiaoying's songs is too long, and in the era of traffic, do we need more such singers and voices. They don't need to rush the charts and slaughter the charts, they need us to face the music, the collision of souls, and on a certain night, after three rounds of drinking, let the text become life again, maybe cruel, but listen to people's desires.
