In fact, Hua Chenyu’s criticism of Li Yuanjie’s phenomenon, from a professional point of view and from the most basic point of view, I think is very correct and there is no problem at all.
From a music professional perspective, level 6 chords are actually the most basic, so I think Hua Chenyu is right to criticize Li Yuanjie. As a musician, this most basic musical harmony He should know it and be proficient in it, so his question is not tricky, nor is it meant to embarrass him.
And the chords used in that song were ordinary chords. Hua Chenyu asked him about the new harmony at the scene. He said it was OK, but he didn’t know this basic harmony, so he learned from the two songs at the scene. It can be seen from personal conversations that Hua Chenyu is not targeting him or making things difficult for him, but that as a musician, he does not even know the most basic chords. This is the most taboo thing for a musician, and I think If he was really capable, others would not ask him about such basic things. It is precisely because he gives people the impression, or from other angles, that he does not even know the most basic things, so Only people would ask such basic things to test him.
So as a musician, we must admit that the aesthetics of music in the entire Chinese language and even in Asia, we must tend to give top priority to melody, so among some of the Asian music we hear , most of the melodies are placed in the first place, and the arrangement of the entire song is only a supporting role. In our Chinese music scene, which is special, we often put some lyrics in the first place, or put them together with the melody. This creates a very harmonious relationship between the final lyrics and the melody.
So as an amateur singer or a professional singer, we must take music seriously. Since we like this music, we should understand it from the basics. As a professional, we must understand this The most basic kind.
