On June 20th, the Strawberry Music Festival was broadcast live on watermelon video, and a cloud music show came.
Every year at the Strawberry Music Festival, folk songs are one of the main forces, and this time, Chen Rei became the representative of the folk songs, singing alone for 30 minutes in front of the empty audience.
Speaking of Chen Grain, there should be no one who likes folk music who does not know her. In 2014, with a "Wonderful Ability Song", she became popular all over the Internet, and her ethereal voice and unique style made her unique in the folk circle and opened up a new path.
And her personality is also very bold and straightforward, often speaking without covering her mouth, once she was a teacher on a talent show, the director asked her what kind of person she wanted to choose, she said bluntly: "I want to choose someone who can make me orgasm." ”
When it comes to love, she's more direct.
First of all, she openly fell in love with the female designer Zhu Xing, without worrying that someone would make a fuss about her gay identity. Later, he broke up with Zhu Xing and liked a male singer of a band, but he also did not shy away from it and boldly showed love on Weibo.
Therefore, in addition to Chen Rei's music being widely concerned, she herself has become a great point of controversy.
And in the folk circle, there is a female singer-songwriter who is more controversial than she is.
Compared with Chen Grain, this female singer-songwriter has some inferior creative ability, stage ability and singing ability, but she is much luckier than Chen Grain, and she has become famous without experiencing too many ups and downs, gaining countless fans and becoming the top of the folk music circle.
But people are afraid of being famous pigs are afraid of being strong, and after becoming famous, she has been greatly controversial.
Some people say that she has no culture and writes lyrics without nutrition;
Some people say that she did not sing, and the live singing was a mess;
Some people say that her songs are all plagiarism, and they cheekily write lyrics and compositions as themselves;
……
This person is flower porridge.
First, the guitar girl Douban became famous
Flower Porridge is not a girl who has been exposed to music since childhood, and she does not have a special love for music, until college, Flower Porridge because she thinks it is very handsome to play guitar and began to learn guitar and music.
Not long after learning the guitar, Hua Congee had the idea of writing songs, she listened to many folk songs, rock songs, because there is only one guitar, so the style is biased towards the simplest folk songs.
But at that time, Hua Congee did not want to make music, because when she entered the university, the school had just been upgraded to a book, the school was very strict, and Hua Congee only regarded writing songs as an interest.
Later, she uploaded several demos she wrote to Douban, which was loved by many people, and then a "Old Chinese Medicine" directly made her popular.
The lyrics of "Old Chinese Medicine" are simple and popular, with a little yellow, and the tune is very simple, which makes people catchy, and the degree of singing at that time was very high.
Sister is an old Chinese medicine doctor also laughed all day to hear someone bragging, I am a kick sister is an old Chinese medicine doctor, I also go out and sometimes find two boys to play a 3P (flower porridge "old Chinese medicine")
With "Old Chinese Medicine" and the same type of "Song of Di Si" and "Rogue" and other songs, Hua Congee became famous in the folk circle and won the title of "Female Rogue".
After becoming famous, Hua Congee was very busy, and performances large and small followed, leaving her no time to take care of her studies, so she chose to drop out of school in her junior year and concentrate on making music.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, it is too easy to become famous, and the whole network has caused controversy</h1>
Hua Congee's musical path is immature, she does not have a good musical literacy, does not have a good writing foundation, and does not have a sophisticated production team, only because she is famous, she wants to make music.
This leads to her songs having little depth, and the lyrics are always very simple, giving the feeling that "I can write on it".
But the heat of flower porridge has been rising. With the help of the power of Douyin, her songs "Out of the Mountain" and "Thieves Will Go" exploded all over the Internet, and the number of fans also multiplied geometrically, approaching millions.
However, the iron law of the entertainment industry is that as long as you are popular, there will be black materials.
First of all, some netizens dug out a song she sang many years ago, "Mother Wants Me to Get Married", plagiarized the Russian folk song of the same name, from the song title to the lyrics are all the same, but Hua Congee wrote the lyrics and composers on the NetEase cloud as themselves.
This topic directly appeared on Weibo hot search, netizens talked about it, and the flower porridge team quickly responded, saying that this song was a cover song before, which was ignored when packaging and uploading songs, and had obtained the understanding of the Russian folk song translation teacher.
It's over.
Later, a university professor suddenly appeared and bluntly said on Weibo that the lyrics of the flower porridge "Thief Will Go" were not comprehensible, and he also picked out the faults in it.
Flower porridge directly faced the battle, forwarding the other party's Weibo to ask "close your ass".
At this question, fans also joined the battlefield and besieged the university professor. Netizens couldn't watch it, voluntarily joined the camp of professors, and tore up with the flower porridge faction.
At the same time, due to the ancient style of the song of flower porridge, the ancient wind circle has also been attacked by netizens, and the fans of the ancient wind circle have said that "the song of flower porridge is not an ancient wind song at all, we do not carry this pot", and together with the netizens in the professor camp, they have fought against the flower porridge faction.
The whole Weibo exploded, the battle between the two sides lasted for a long time, although there was no victory or defeat, but the black powder of the flower porridge increased a lot, and the controversy about her continued to ferment on various online platforms.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, porridge music and responsibility</h1>
Objectively speaking, even if Hua Congee's music has been improving, she has only barely reached the standard of a folk singer, and there is nothing particularly outstanding, and the depth of her lyrics is still insufficient.
But why can flower porridge become the top stream?
In fact, I think the public has always had a misunderstanding of music, music is an art at a high level, and an entertainment product at the lowest, because the public's musical aesthetic and emotional needs are different.
But there are always people who stubbornly have high requirements for music, as if music must express something with depth, so these songs of Hua Congee make them very unimpressed.
But in fact, it is precisely because the music of the flower porridge is simple and easy to understand, so that the distance between her and the fans has become very close, and more and more people like to listen to her songs.
Folk, antique, rock, pop... All of these songs are just a name, a label, and it does not represent the song itself.
Whether or not you can make the listener resonate and shorten the distance with the listener is the most important thing in the song.
Like Jaylen's songs, these songs in the middle and late stages, such as "Say Good Don't Cry" and "Wait for You to Leave Class", are not outstanding songs, and there is no comparison with his early songs, but the public still likes it, and it can still be screened on the whole network as soon as it comes out.
Because this is Jay Chou, everyone can resonate with his songs and have feelings for his songs.
(Not to compare flower porridge with Jaylen, just an example)
The song of flower porridge also has the same nature, although simple, although slightly monotonous, but it can resonate with fans. That's why she became a top stream.
In the face of the attack of black powder, Hua Congee has never shown weakness, either to recoil or to ignore.
In an interview program of NetEase Cloud, Hua Congee responded to this: I never read the comments of black powder, but I will scold them on Weibo, for example, I have sent a message "The people who black me are big Shabi" before.
Such words that are easy to attract public anger dare to be sent directly on Weibo, which is also absolute, and it can be said that flower porridge is also the only file in the folk circle.
However, aside from the song, Hua Congee, as a public figure, did not do a good job and did not fulfill his due responsibilities.
Although celebrities are also people and have the right to express their emotions, since they have become public figures, they should be responsible for these 4 words and should always abide by some rules.
Not being able to enjoy the benefits of a public figure and break the shackles of its rules and say that I want to do it will not only make her personal reputation worse and worse, but also affect her fans.
So, she can still do the song according to her own ideas, but it is necessary to learn how to become a qualified public figure.
It's her responsibility to herself, and it's also her responsibility as a role model for fans.
