Vlogger tops charts
15歲女孩一夜爆紅,半小時寫出B站神曲
“She got a beautiful eye, walk in a line, smile with her type; She knows all about life, never ask why, driving everyone crazy, crazy …” Everyone is surprised that this English song, She, which has so far topped the charts with more than 10 million views on popular video platform Bilibili, was produced by a 15-year-old girl, Zhang Yuxuan, in only 30 minutes.
“她目若秋水,舉步生輝,春風滿面;她穩(wěn)操勝券,從不問為什么,所有人為她瘋狂……”所有人都驚訝這首英文歌《She》,已登頂視頻平臺嗶哩嗶哩,如今播放量破千萬。其創(chuàng)作者是15歲女孩張宇宣,而她創(chuàng)作這首歌僅用了30分鐘。
“A melody suddenly popped into my head when I was having math class,” Zhang, a student at the Shenzhen Arts School, majoring in violin, said in her video titled How to Turn a Melody into a Song. “I quickly wrote down four lines of lyrics and the melody in my notebook, and after class, I rushed home and took less than half an hour to finish the song.”
“當時我正在學校上數(shù)學課,然后腦子里突然蹦出一段旋律,”就讀于深圳藝術學校,學習專業(yè)小提琴的張宇宣在她的視頻中說道,視頻的主題叫做“如何把一段旋律變成一首歌”。“我飛快地在筆記本上寫下四句歌詞和旋律,下課后立馬沖回家,用了不到半個小時就完成了這首歌。”
With her crisp voice and humorous expression, the video of the song She topped Bilibili’s recommended list. She has become one of the most popular music vlogger on the platform. Dubbed a “young Chinese Taylor Swift”, this teenage vlogger now has 1.28 million followers.
憑借著清脆的嗓音和幽默的表達,《She》很快沖上了嗶哩嗶哩的推薦列表。張宇宣也成了B站上最受歡迎的流行音樂視頻博主之一。她被稱為“中國的霉霉”,目前已擁有128萬粉絲。
Zhang told Xinhua News that the song was inspired by US actress Anne Hathaway, who played Andrea “Andy” Sachs in the Hollywood blockbuster The Devil Wears Prada. “I like Hathaway’s personality, so I wanted to write a song for her,” Zhang said. “I want to send out a message about girl power – that girls can be strong and independent but also cute.”
張宇宣告訴新華社,她的靈感來自美國著名的女演員安妮·海瑟薇,她曾在好萊塢大片《穿普拉達的女王》中飾演安迪一角。“我喜歡海瑟薇的個性,所以我想為她寫一首歌,”她說道。“我想通過這首歌表達女性的力量,她們可以強大獨立,也可以很可愛。”
Zhang fell in love with English songs when she was a primary school student. She registered on Bilibili when she was 13 years old, and in 2019, posted her first original song December Composer and quickly won many followers. In her videos, everything from bottles to pieces of candy can become musical instruments. A video titled How to Make Music at School without Instruments has been watched over 1.9 million times. In the video, she makes musical loops with a pencil bag and a desk.
張宇宣上小學時就愛上了英文歌,13歲時注冊了B站賬號,2019年,她上傳了第一首原創(chuàng)歌曲《December Composer》,迅速圈粉。在她的視頻中,不論是瓶子還是糖果,任何東西都能成為樂器。一個名為“學生黨在學校不用樂器也可以做歌”的視頻播放量超190萬,視頻中,她僅用筆袋和課桌就制造出循環(huán)伴奏的音效。
“I often come up with whimsical ideas about what I’ve seen and heard and then put them into my songs,” Zhang said. “It’s a great outlet for me to express myself, and in this way I won’t be too sad about negative things in life.”
“我看到的聽到的東西經(jīng)常會讓我腦子里有奇奇怪怪的想法,我把這些想法融入到我的音樂中,”張宇宣說,“它(音樂)是我表達自我的一個非常好的途徑,通過這種方式,我不會因為生活中一些負面的事而太過傷心。”
Zhang told Xinhua that she wants to study at a top music school, such as the Berklee College of Music in the US and become a singer-songwriter in the future. “Everything in life can be written into song,” she said. “But I still have a lot to learn including my main subjects like English skills and composition. I hope I can become a songwriter and work with the musicians I like.”
張宇宣還告訴新華社,她想要去像美國伯克利音樂學院這樣的頂尖音樂學府學習,將來想成為一名創(chuàng)作型歌手。“生活中的所有都可以寫進歌里,”她說,“但我還有很多東西要學習,像英語、作曲等一些主要科目。我希望我能成為一名歌曲作者,并和我喜歡的音樂人合作。”
