You're about to retire from the entertainment industry, yet your concerts are still so popular?

Chapter 87: Paving a New Path for Traditional Chinese Style?! You actually sang it live?!

Special Guest Area.

"No! This singing style... it sounds like a Qingyi opera style?!" Li Yuguang jumped up, quite agitated.

Clearly, he also noticed that the mournful and melodious singing voice subtly carried some opera skills!

"Qingyi Opera? What does that mean...?" Jin Haiji and the others all turned their heads and looked at him in confusion.

Traditional opera has been in decline for many years.

Younger singers like Wang Xinlin and Yu Menglong have absolutely no exposure to the theories and common knowledge of traditional opera.

"When Qingyi is mainly performed by Dan (female) roles in Peking Opera, the vocal techniques used in her singing are called Qingyi vocal techniques."

Li Yuguang explained slowly.

"Hiss~" Zhang Yiming suddenly gasped!

"You mean Ye Chen incorporated elements of Peking Opera into his singing techniques?" He gripped Li Yuguang's arm tightly with both hands.

A chill ran down my spine!

You've even managed to incorporate elements of traditional opera into pop music!

How am I supposed to catch up with you now, Ye Chen!

In an instant, a complex mix of emotions enveloped Zhang Yiming.

"I was wondering why this ancient-style song had such a familiar feel to it, so bright, melodious, and full of classical charm? Turns out Ye Chen referenced Peking Opera singing techniques!" Li Shuyuan stared at Ye Chen, her mind racing.

It was as if he was constantly reviewing Ye Chen's vocal transition in the chorus in his mind.

Professor Zhang, standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something.

He suddenly asked, "Mr. Li, the singing of this Qingyi style is indeed quite impressive, but... you don't need to get so excited."

Others were more or less curious as well.

Mr. Li Yuguang, although not a master of traditional opera.

But he is also a person who is very knowledgeable about traditional opera.

Even if Ye Chen's song really does have elements of traditional Chinese opera singing, it shouldn't have elicited such a strong reaction.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuguang slowly sat back in his chair and gave a wry smile: "Ye Chen's two ancient-style songs are actually two new ways of singing them."

"Especially this song 'Moonlight,' setting aside the difficult vocal transitions, this way of incorporating opera techniques really revitalizes ancient-style songs!"

"Think about the music scene today, how much of it is truly original Chinese music?"

There was a brief silence when he asked the question.

The music scene is relatively pure in the traditional Chinese style circle, but traditional Chinese style songs are not easy to break out of the mainstream.

For so many years, they have barely managed to maintain their income as singers of traditional Chinese style songs by selling OST copyrights or being invited to sing for films and television dramas.

"Even Huaqing Entertainment, which focuses on traditional Chinese style, was acquired by Shengtang. It is conceivable that the traditional Chinese style circle has long been overtaken by the market of traffic love songs."

Li Yuguang added with a mix of regret and lizard-like sarcasm:

"But in the future, if traditional Chinese style songs can learn from Ye Chen's model, they will definitely be revitalized!"

……

"Therefore, junior brother's song 'Moonlight' is very avant-garde! It's extremely innovative!"

On the phone screen.

Murong Sujin patiently explained to Lin Shengnan.

"In that case, our traditional Chinese style can really learn Ye Chen's techniques!" This excited Lin Shengnan immensely. "Could it be that our traditional Chinese style circle is really about to flourish?!"

"Sister Murong, you've also been studying since you were little, and you're Ye Chen's senior! Why don't you try incorporating Huangmei Opera into your songs?"

Her question stumped Murong Shujin.

There's a huge gap between theory and practice.

Murong Shujin gave a wry smile: "Don't get so excited. The opera elements in this song aren't obvious enough. The audience and the singer are focusing on the transitions and the difficulty."

"This 'Moonlight' is probably an experiment by Junior Brother Ye Chen. He may still be exploring this fusion technique."

"But if he doesn't leave the scene, he might actually succeed in integrating into the scene within a year, and immediately take our traditional Chinese style circle to new heights!"

Off-screen.

The assistant was utterly shocked by the two's discussion!

According to these two beautiful women, the boss has truly paved a new path for ancient-style songs!

……

At this moment, on short videos.

Yi Song, a national first-class pianist, is sharing her piano performance experience in her live broadcast room.

"Grandma! Look! It's a live concert broadcast!"

The little grandson rushed into the music room, beaming with pride.

He was watching videos of Ye Chen singing revolutionary songs in Chongqing in the living room when he suddenly came across a live stream of Ye Chen!

The sheer power of the live performance sent shivers down his spine even as he listened to it on his phone!

"A concert? No interest." Yi Song shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

Why would I, a musician, pay attention to vocal music?

Besides, why should I be making comments in the live stream when it's someone else's concert?

I'm almost retired, why can't I find something to do?

Everyone has their own way of dealing with things.

Yi Song naturally didn't want to get involved in the controversies of the music industry.

"Grandma! It's Ye Chen's concert! Look! Ye Chen is singing 'Moonlight' right now!" The grandson pointed at the screen. "Didn't you say his songs were hard to sing and that he was prone to messing up his live performances?"

At the same time, Ye Chen's melodious singing voice came from her grandson's phone.

[Passing the test of love! Who dares to try...?]

Upon hearing the latter part of the chorus, Yi Song felt a chill run down his spine!

Even with the compressed radio and speaker of two phones on the ground, the sound is still so moving!

Yi Song snatched the phone from his grandson, his eyes wide with disbelief!

Three words, fifteen pronunciations!

He, Ye Chen, just sang it so softly?!

But watching the live broadcast with synchronized audio and video, she had no choice but to believe it.

She even tried to imitate a line: "Who dares to cross the threshold of love?"

"Just this one line! Fifteen vowel turns! Ye Chen didn't miss a single one!"

"His hand movements are so steady! Is this just his first song?"

"Grandma, this is Ye Chen's third song already," the grandson said, his throat dry as he swallowed. "The first two were 'Da La Beng Ba' and 'Hard to Recite Sutra'..."

Yi Song's pupils constricted sharply: "Singing three such difficult songs right at the start? And this is only the third song, yet he can sing them so steadily!"

……

on the stage.

In the last few lines, Ye Chen remained as steady as a CD, without the slightest sign of cracking.

"Gazing at the bright moon, my heart is filled with sorrow."

"The hatred of a thousand ages will be tasted in reincarnation~"

"Who's the craziest when they close their eyes?"

"The unpredictability of this world~"

Those who dare to love are destined to be hurt throughout their lives.

After the song ended.

Li Jian, one of the audience members, was completely dumbfounded.

"No way, such a gentle, melancholic, and poignant vocal performance! You really sang it live?!"

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, in disbelief.

Didn't everyone say you're the prince of drooling? With your singing skills, who's spreading rumors about you all over the internet?!

You should at least come out and clarify something!

That almost made me believe those old men's nonsense!

……

Meanwhile, on the phone screen...

"Ye Chen! Last time you sang 'The Sun,' this time you sang 'Moonlight'! How come you're always so popular?! You seem to be able to make any song a hit?!"

Lin Shengnan watched the live stream with gritted teeth, feeling utterly helpless!
