Truly excellent ancient songs do not use gorgeous words and heroic experiences to create the so-called artistic conception. Instead, they tell the story completely and contain the emotions under the words, allowing the audience to think about it.
Cliched expressions, overly straightforward emotions and exaggerated rhetoric are essentially the ancient version of shouting about wheat, although this form of shouting about wheat has not really become popular in the market.
Moreover, the simple lyrics can be regarded as a model of ancient Chinese literature. The rhetorical techniques in Chinese literature contained in the classical charm lyrics are delicate and tactful, rich in the bookish expressions of sentimental expressions of ancient Chinese literati, as if green olives are in the You can savor it slowly and for a long time.
Analyzing it from a musical perspective, the chords used in the verse and chorus are actually common standard pop songs.
This kind of chord arrangement is much more interesting. Of course, it is mainly reflected in the chorus. The main song still uses the universal chords of pop songs.
Although the whole song is Chinese-style, it does not highlight the melody that Chinese music should have. There are a lot of repetitions of the same sound, which is dull.
If you sing it alone, you will feel that it is weak in terms of emotional promotion, even a little pale, and there is not much that is really worth pondering.
Unlike "Butterfly Lovers", even if you just hum the melody, there is still a lot worth savoring.
But of course there are no flaws, the motive development is reasonable, and there is also a contrast between the two phrases of the main song.
And because Liu Qingshan made a C-section transition in this version to sublimate the emotion, this song still has that strong national feel.
The important thing is that he wants to promote Chinese style and let the future pop music field incorporate more and more Chinese elements. However, apart from the lyrics, this song cannot really talk about the art of music. value.
The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you
The moonlight was salvaged and the ending fainted
Just like the blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself, your eyes are smiling
...
At this time, as the chorus appeared, a chorus scene appeared on the scene. Although many people were holding their mobile phones and reading the lyrics, after all, this song had just been released today.
But there is no doubt that this song brings surprises to people who like music. It has the quality that even after listening to it many times, it still feels like it can’t get enough.
Huaguofeng, a somewhat vaguely defined style, has just emerged. Both the creative enthusiasm of musicians and the emotions of the audience are in a passionate stage.
Therefore, this song is bound to be a hit, and due to the uniqueness, groundbreakingness, and novelty of the lyrics, it will keep the topic of Chinese traditional music popular for a long time.
Just this first sentence can make people appreciate the uncanny literary skills in the lyrics.
The most critical step in ancient ceramics is the firing process. The azure glaze of blue and white porcelain cannot be formed by itself.
The moment the celadon comes out of the oven, it must be a misty and rainy day, so that the glaze color will gradually turn into a dreamy azure color.
This kind of weather is rare. Just as I am waiting for "you", "I" don't know when this "you" will appear, so I will wait quietly and treat it as a foreshadowing of meeting you.
This song expresses a kind of beauty that takes into account both purity and elegance. It is a unique Chinese aesthetic point of view and is a work based on the creative logic of the classical pentatonic scale.
The content contains a tragic story similar to Butterfly Lovers' story of traveling through time and space, where things become attached but cannot be combined.
It is a song that is sublimated from the aesthetic point of view to the positive energy of the heart. It also conforms to the requirements of social harmony. It is a song full of noble sentiments.
As for the creative aspect, it is a folk ballad in a pentatonic minor key, delicate and cold, with continuous transitions and transitions.
The arrangement first used guitar to embellish it, and then incorporated a layer of modern people's thoughts on the ancients.
The whole song is orchestrated with guzheng, which is very beautiful and refreshing. It fully demonstrates the meticulous thinking and unique style of the Chinese people, and it has a sense of the intersection of ancient and modern times.
The final climax is repeated, and the Western string music echoes it, which intensifies the sense of narrative, which is amazing, magical and mysterious.
This is also a rare scene where Liu Qingshan uses an accompaniment tape.
Singing, the effect actually made him feel very good.
After the song ended, he brought up the issue.
Master Li answered him with a smile: "Live accompaniment first tests the singer's ability, because the live band is different from the previously recorded accompaniment tape. The sound quality of the drums and piano played now sounds better, and it can make people feel better." The audience is immersed in the feeling of the scene. The accompaniment tape is equivalent to accompanying the original singer, and you are the original singer, so of course you will feel comfortable!"
Li Zhongsheng followed up by saying, "Celebrities in Europe and the United States have strong control over the scene. They are basically accompanied by live bands and do not play accompaniment tapes like in the Chinese circle. Moreover, there are very few car accidents in Europe and the United States, which illustrates a lot of problems."
Master Li nodded: "Mr. Liu is very strong in both singing and field control. This is already recognized in the industry! Unfortunately, despite your efforts, many of our colleagues still pretend not to see it and are still doing their own thing! It's not as good as that Ying, when someone questioned this matter, she even boasted that the accompaniment tape was also recorded with my own voice! Listen, how ignorant!"
Eric Tsang quickly stopped him: "Brother Tian, please don't harm me, this show must continue!".
Master Li said angrily to him: "Just because there are so many of you in our circle, such unprofessional singers will continue to exist!"
Li Zhongsheng smiled and helped Zeng Zhiwei out: "Brother Tian, you can't kill him with one stick. It is still advisable to use accompaniment tapes appropriately in some situations. The conditions are limited. Not all performance conditions are met!"
"That's the truth, but as the queen of mainland music, I'm not satisfied with such open and honest talk. The accompaniment tapes were also recorded with my own voice. When I was eight years old, I wouldn't have said such stupid things. It's simply demeaning. Human IQ!"
Eric Tsang sneered: "Today is a special session for Mr. Liu and Ms. Jin, let's discuss the matter!"
Master Li cupped his fists and raised his hands to Liu Qingshan who was walking down, "I'm sorry, I just can't hold my words in my heart, I speak too bluntly!"
Liu Qingshan said happily: "I also hate this kind of people and this phenomenon. We both have the same point of view!"
He was very smart and immediately highlighted his own factors to prevent Master Li from suffering more criticism.
Anyway, the whole world knows what he dislikes about that person. It's rare that Xiangjiang is a place where people can speak more casually. He doesn't mind being a villain and adding fuel to someone's fire.
However, he also quickly changed the topic: "I admire Mr. Huang Zhanhuang the most, but it is a pity that the old man has passed away, otherwise I would probably have learned from him. His contribution to Chinese music is unparalleled!"
Master Li suddenly became depressed: "Mr. Huang is my lifelong friend. I was the one who posted his obituary back then. In my mind, he is the real music master. What a pity!"
"Mr. Huang also has a bad temper, but he is also very funny. Remember, he also gave you the nickname Garfield!" Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile.
Master Li nodded: "He has a bad temper. Once he helped me write the lyrics for the song "Ask Me". He felt that two or three words in the lyrics he wrote were not very good, so without Huang Caizi's knowledge, I made the changes myself, which made the old guy scold me in the newspaper for three days! But later on, the two of us were still good friends, and we didn’t stop cooperating until his death. The year before last, I was very concerned about Mr. Huang’s death. It’s still very peaceful. It’s just that I don’t listen to his songs anymore.”
When he said this, Master Li's eyes were filled with tears, and Jin Xishan kindly handed him a tissue.
In fact, Master Li is not Mr. Huang’s confidant, but someone else, the legendary musician Gu Jiahui, who is known as the godfather of the Hong Kong music scene and Jin Yong in the music industry. He is the composer of the Hong Kong Philharmonic's masterpieces such as "Under the Lion Rock" and "Heart of Iron".
However, Master Li and these two big guys are considered a golden combination. They have worked together many times and their friendship has been maintained.
The reason why Liu Qingshan mentioned Mr. Huang was because he wanted to buy the adaptation rights of "A Laugh in the Sea".
Then he talked about it,
Master Li smiled and said, "Just ask me for this matter! Why do you have a special liking for this song?"
Liu Qingshan explained truthfully: "Because this song is so classic, I think it would be very suitable to use it in "Ip Man"."
Master Li slapped his thigh: "Because it is too classic, in the subsequent versions of "Swordsman", "A Smile in the Sea" has become a repertoire, otherwise the audience will think that they are watching a fake "Swordsman". "Swordsman". Your point of view is right. Since it is related to kung fu, it is very appropriate to use this song!"
"My more intention is to promote this song overseas. Since we want to promote our Chinese style, I don't think anyone can write anything that can surpass "A Laughter from the Sea". With a little bit of modern rap, I think I have the ability to use it to impress those foreigners!"
"Well, although it is an old song, it is the accumulation of history and culture. It has strong traces of time, a profound historical background, the emotions of several generations of people's lives, and is the crystallization of people's thoughts and ideas!"
"Do you also agree with me enabling it?"
"Yes, I have watched "Ip Man". It is a rare real Kung Fu movie, and it talks about the feelings of family and country. The fact that this song can be spread and still sung today is inseparable from the feelings of the son. First of all, it is not popular in the Chinese speaking circle. There is a gene that can be circulated again! As for whether it can be recognized by more foreign gentlemen, it depends on the quality of your video!"
"I am confident that I can successfully shoot the second part, and I can ensure that the action scenes in it are all real kung fu!"
"This is also what we older generations look forward to most. I am optimistic about you, so leave this matter to me!"
At this time, Chen Yixun raised his hand to express his opinion: "I strongly request to participate in the recording. It is also my inner expectation to sing this song. We will sing the melody part, and you will complete the rap! Boss, please consider me, and I don't want to do it all." Share the money and make a contribution voluntarily!"
