From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

"Maybe I shouldn't ask

Let your peaceful heart ripple again

It’s just that my love for you is beyond the limit

I want to have everything about you

I shouldn't have asked

I shouldn't let you bring up the past again

It’s just how to get rid of the shackles in my heart.”

"norwegian wood" is originally a song by the Beatles. Every time Naoko listens to this song, she will feel that she is alone and lost in the depths of the cold and frozen forest. This is a symbol of the hesitation, fear, groping, and confusion that young people must go through.

.

In the 1960s, the island country has entered a highly developed capitalist society. The economy is developing rapidly, and people's spiritual crisis is also increasing day by day. The abundance of material life and the expansion of human desires have caused a serious imbalance in the spiritual world.

The prosperity of the city cannot hide people's inner anxiety.

People living in cities are like rootless duckweeds, lonely, nihilistic, and lost, but unable to face strong social pressure. They don't know how to meet the challenges of the real world.

Naoko is not an exception, just a typical one. After Kizuki died, she also struggled desperately and wanted to open her mind to a whole new world. But she failed and could only build a dream world in her heart, a mind that is opposed to reality.

The world is as poetic as picturesque.

But dreams are dreams and reality is reality.

The opposition and entanglement between the real world and the dream world made Naoko's inner pain and soul struggle even harder. In the end, she could only escape this pain by ending her own life.

Naoko's first love Kizuki is also a typical example. Because he could not bear the pressure of the real world, he chose to commit suicide without any warning.

Even the lively Midoriko is actually a typical example, feeling anxious, empty and lonely inside.

There is a scene in the book where Watanabe and Naoko are walking aimlessly on the street together. The bustling crowds, the rushing traffic, and the noisy city sounds are the most realistic reflection of the world in the book "Norwegian Wood". A surrounding

A completely unfamiliar world, a world that is obviously crowded but feels empty. Through the perspectives of Watanabe and Naoko, the author vividly displays the anxious, empty inner world, confusion, and fragile living conditions of urbanites.

Wu Bai's "Norwegian Wood" is a song based on this world. The heroine in the song is Naoko, but she is just a typical one. Wu Bai only shows the world from Naoko's perspective.

Therefore, although the melody of the whole song is beautiful, it is also very sad. The song is filled with confusion, loneliness, anxiety, emptiness, and fear.

If you want to sing this song well, you must understand the story in the song.

Fortunately, Wang Xuan not only understood the story in the song, but also read the original work of "Norwegian Wood". Therefore, Wang Xuan knew very well how to sing this song and what emotions he should sing it with.

So his singing is full of sadness, confusion, anxiety and emptiness.

This song is actually a rock song. In the chorus, Wang Xuan's voice is obviously very loud, but it is also full of sadness, like shouting and roaring, with regrets, contradictions and helplessness.

Defense broken!

Wang Xuan's singing made most of the audience break their guard.

Although they didn't know the story in the song, they could feel the sadness, anxiety, loneliness, and emptiness in Wang Xuan's singing... It was a kind of sadness that made people burst into tears, anxiety that made people hesitate, and loneliness.

The loneliness, the confusing emptiness...

At this moment, the audience, except for a few heartless ones, had one comment: the men were jealous, as if their eyes were blinded by the wind and sand; the women covered their mouths, tears streaming down their faces as if they were free of money.

Even a few judges are no better.

Liang Xiaoru, who was more emotional, turned around calmly and wiped away her tears. Li Yiqun and Wang Banbi had sore noses and looked up at a 45-degree angle. Gu Jiahui's expression was complicated, as if he was stuck in a long memory.

"Let me take your heart out

Try to dissolve it slowly

See if I'm still perfect in your heart

Do you still care about me at all?

Still love me and can't help myself

Is there a place in my heart that I have never been to?”

It wasn't until the next verse of the main song started that the audience calmed down, and so did several judges.

"This song is amazing." Li Yiqun sighed.

"It's really great. This is a tragic rock song, using the most exciting tunes and singing the most tragic songs. This type of rock music is rare in China, only a handful." Wang Banbi commented.

"Mainly, this style of rock music is very difficult to create. The rock melody is exciting and inherently high. It is almost a contradiction with sadness and is difficult to combine. However, I am not surprised that Baihu can create this kind of song. Previously, his song "

"You Are Not Really Happy" is a tragic rock song. But the song in front of me is even more tragic than that." Gu Jiahui commented.

"And the rhythm of this song is very good. If Bai Hu hadn't performed it in a sad tone, and if the lyrics of this song weren't filled with sadness, I would have almost thought it was a high-energy song." Li Yiqun said.

"No, Yiqun, you are wrong about one thing. The singing tone of this song was not actually determined by Bai Hu, but the melody tone of the song." Gu Jiahui said.

"Lao Gu is right. It is undeniable that the rhythm of this song is very good, and it belongs to the type that can make people's bodies sway, but its melody is sad, and the sad melody tone determines that this song can only

If you sing with sad emotions, if you sing with cheerful tunes, it will be a big overturn scene, which is commonly known as being emotionless and wrong." Wang Banbi agreed.

"Indeed, if anyone dares to sing this song with a cheerful tune in front of me, I will severely criticize him, ruthlessly." Gu Jiahui said again.

"Hey, hey, hey! I was just expressing my personal opinion. I didn't say that the melody of this song is not sad, and I didn't say that this song can be performed in a cheerful tone. Why did I get beaten up?" Li Yiqun was very angry.

Innocent, I feel like I have been shot innocently. Although his creative ability is average, he is not unable to hear the melody, tone and style.

"We didn't beat you up, we just expressed our opinions." Wang Banbi spread his hands.

"Anyway, I can joke about anything, but I am serious about music." Gu Jiahui said.

"..."

"Actually, I'm very curious about how Bai Hu composed this song and what kind of story is in this song. The emotions in Bai Hu's singing are so complicated that people can't help but fall in, feel sad, and can't help but feel sad.

I feel confused and even a little desperate." Liang Xiaoru said, changing the topic.

"I'll just ask him later. I'm actually a little curious," Wang Banbi said.

.....

"I shouldn't have asked

I shouldn't let you bring up the past again

Just a shackle in my heart

How can I be freed?”

Wang Xuan finished singing, but the entire scene was still filled with a sad atmosphere. Most of the audience was still indulged in Wang Xuan's singing, sad, confused, lonely, depressed, anxious, empty... bursting into tears and unable to extricate themselves.

It took a long time for everyone at the scene to come back to their senses, and warm applause burst out at the right time.

If the two songs sung by Enchantress and Erha are the kind of cheers that make the audience's emotions soar, then the song "Norwegian Wood" by Bai Hu is the kind of sadness that makes the audience feel depressed, reaching rock bottom.

, after the bottom, there was a complete rebound. Many people chanted Bai Hu’s name.

Suzaku, Yama, and Black Swan smiled bitterly, looking at the white tiger on the stage, thinking that he was really a formidable opponent.

Erha, the enchantress is lucky.

Fortunately, this is only the semi-finals, and there are three promotion places. If it were the finals, and they faced White Tiger, they would not be able to win this round.

Happy songs or sad songs, of the same quality, which one is more touching?

The answer is a sad song.

In real life, no one likes sadness, but when listening to songs, most people like to listen to sad songs, because sad songs can easily touch a soft place in the heart and can evoke some feelings that are still in the heart.

Memories that are in the corner but don’t want to let go.

Not to mention the song "White Tiger" is simply invincible!
