Perfect Life

First of all, let me say something: after the last chapter was sent out, I was a little dissatisfied with the ending part, so I made some minor repairs and added a few words. Friends who subscribed early, and friends who subscribed from non-starting points, may see it. is an old version. I suggest you all look back. Of course, if you don't look at it, it doesn't affect the next look.

***

As mentioned earlier, the song "\\t-Break-My-Heart" belongs to the category of pop rock. The so-called pop rock, as the name suggests, has a relatively strong flavor of pop, so to a certain extent, this style of rock music has a wider range than heavy metal and so-called pure rock music. audience.

It is reflected in a specific album, that is, just three weeks after the album "False Monk" was released, the song "\\t-Break-My-Heart" has surpassed the "False Monk" one after another. " and "Flower Girl", topped the Voice of China's Golden Melody On Demand list.

And in the following week, the song that made it to No. 2 on this list was also a pop rock, "Ronin Love Song".

Therefore, no matter how fervently rock and roll people are in their hearts, they have to admit that, by comparison, rock music is indeed a relatively small category of music—at least compared to pop, it is.

And pop rock, in fact, is the best way to make rock more popular.

If you sing heavy metal, the "fairy spirit" in Zhou Ai's voice is probably not good. Not only does it not help the expression of musical feelings, but it may contradict each other, making the whole song nondescript. But singing pop rock like "\\t-Break-My-Heart", really, Zhou Ai's voice, in this song, is like a duck to water.

And in fact, when listening to her singing this song. Li Qian can't help but think: pop rock like "\\t-Break-My-Heart". And the BLUS-oriented rock like "The False Monk" is really suitable for Liao Liao and Zhou Ai to sing. Maybe when you have time to spare, you can consider... ok. In fact, he knew it himself, at least recently. It's really hard to be idle.

…………

After Zhou Hao sang a song, the scene was suddenly filled with shouts and applause like a tsunami.

Zhou Yan smiled and bowed slightly. Said "thank you", then turned and stepped off the stage.

Li Qian watched her take a few steps. He suddenly said, "Uh...this is the fourth song!" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and flashed four fingers at the bottom of the stage.

Zhou Ai stopped when she heard the words. Turned his head to look over.

In fact, it's not just her. Liao Liao, Cao Zhan and the others knew a little when they communicated in advance. As Li Qian said, the plan is to have a total of five songs - of course, the audience does not know.

Therefore, even though she knew that she should step down at this time, Zhou Hao stopped and looked over curiously, as if she wanted to hear Li Qian announce the song name before stepping down.

At this time, as soon as Li Qian said this, someone in the audience immediately shouted: "One more song!"

They are all people who have heard the scene, and many of them are regulars at the music festival. They come almost every year. Naturally, everyone knows that Li Qian said the fourth song, which means that it is almost the end and can no longer sing.

So, when the first person made a sound, everyone then put their hands on the trumpet and shouted loudly: "One more song!"

Li Qian smiled, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said, "OK! OK! I want to sing another song."

The scene suddenly burst into cheers.

After the applause subsided, Li Qian said again: "We all know that the Changping Music Festival is both rock and ballad, so for the next song, I'm going to sing a ballad for everyone..." Having said this, he immediately He raised his hand, made a downward pressure, and said, "Please don't applaud, thank you! Please don't applaud!"

The applause that was about to rise at the scene just disappeared quickly.

The scene of 20,000 to 30,000 people was almost silent, and everyone looked up at Li Qian.

Li Qian said: "I ask everyone not to applaud because I have something extra to say. The song I'm going to sing next is a ballad. To be precise, it should be a love song. It's... a song The ancient love poetry from two or three thousand years ago, I think it should be regarded as a folk song at that time, so I recomposed the song for it."

Having said this, he suddenly turned around halfway and looked at Zhou Cong, Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Liao Liao on the stage, with a little apology in his smile, and said, "I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you all this time, because I'm not sure, I Is it good or not, so... just treat it as a surprise, okay?"

No one spoke, everyone just looked at each other.

It is not uncommon in China to compose and sing the poems left by the ancients. Especially for Li Qian, it should not be considered a rare thing. After all, he single-handedly initiated the music style that has been consistently called "Chinese style" by the domestic music circles, and he also wrote "Farewell" like "Farewell". Compose music for ancient poems... how big is it?

However, everyone could hear that Li Qian spoke very solemnly.

Therefore, not only a few people on the stage, but also the fans in the audience, including those singers who are waiting in the backstage at the moment, as well as Xie Jinshun, Xie Mingyuan and others, all had solemn expressions on their faces.

When he turned around, Li Qian said seriously to the audience: "Yes, I'm not sure if what I'm doing is good or not. He should be regarded as a test product of mine. If this kind of work can be enjoyed by everyone. If you like it, then I hope that in the future, I will be able to write more works of a similar style for everyone to listen to. Maybe I will sing it, or maybe Liao Liao will sing it, He Runqing will sing it, or... well, maybe it will be for Zhou. Sing. Anyway..."

He paused, waved his arms unconsciously, and said, "An immature idea, a style that may not be popular, a song in ancient and modern times will be interpreted by many experts as a homosexual work. It is an ancient poem, but as a singer, I just treat it as a beautiful love poem. Fortunately, the Changping Music Festival is a good enough and tolerant stage, so I dare to try it here and sing it for Listen. So... OK!"

Out of the corner of Li Qian's eyes, he saw that the staff brought up a guqin, and Wang Huaiyu got up to take it. He sat cross-legged on the stage on the spot. Guqin on the knee!

As early as when Li Qian said that it was an ancient poem that was interpreted as "a work of homosexuality and love", the scene was already faintly disturbed, and it was difficult to keep quiet. At this time, he saw that the staff actually sent a guqin up . The tens of thousands of spectators at the scene couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Everyone seemed to be quiet. But when tens of thousands of people speak in a low voice, the voice will still be loud——

What kind of work is this, it looks like. Want to play the guqin and sing?

And it seems that even Zhou Ai and Liao Liao don't know about it?

In the background at this time. When someone quickly spread the news, many singers and agents at the scene were all surprised. And Xie Jinshun and Xie Mingyuan father and son. But they couldn't help but look at each other, and there was some surprise in their eyes.

What Li Qian said just now. There is a new work, and I want Xie Jinshun to review it, from that time on. Xie Mingyuan was thinking about what Li Qian's so-called new work would be, but he didn't think about it -- would the guqin be the accompaniment? Could it be that he wants to sing the ancient style? But that's not right, as I said, he wrote a new piece by himself!

"Ding……"

Sitting on the ground, Wang Huaiyu, under the attention of the whole audience, tried the piano and was sure that it was all right. He just adjusted the position of the microphone a little, and then nodded to Li Qian.

Li Qian also smiled and nodded, turned around, and said, "Then, OK, the following song "Yueren Song" is for everyone."

Vietnamese song?

I finally heard the name of the song, but no, the vast majority of people at the scene have not yet reached that level of knowledge of ancient poetry, so when I heard the name, I immediately felt so ancient, but... I don't know where it came from. Who wrote it, and what was written in it.

On the contrary, in the background, when many musicians heard this name, their eyes suddenly lit up - especially the lyricist, who may not be so familiar, but at least they still know this work that can be called the earliest poetry in China. , there are also impressions.

For example, Xie Jinshun.

The old man's eyebrows jumped a few times, but he didn't speak.

Xie Mingyuan has been studying music since he was a child, and when he grew up, he traveled around to study. Later, he settled in France for many years. His foundation in Chinese was inevitably weak. At this time, he couldn't help turning his head to look at his father.

The father and son's eyes met, and the old man Xie Jinshun whispered: "The ancient poems of the pre-Qin period are from "Shuoyuan"."

Xie Mingyuan was stunned when he heard the words.

At this time, the guqin on the stage was already ringing.

There were tens of thousands of people at the scene, and everyone was staring at Wang Huaiyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the stage.

The sound of guqin is simple and elegant. If you don't calm down, for many people, you can't hear the beauty of it at all, but... Fortunately, even people who have never heard the sound of guqin before, at least Knowing that this is a kind of musical instrument that has been circulating since ancient China long ago, and inexplicably feel that playing this thing is very high.

The sound of the piano is long, clear and continuous.

Tens of thousands of people listened with bated breath.

For a full minute, the sound of the guqin enveloped the entire venue.

Then, starting from a vague place, with an almost imperceptible voice, Li Qian finally started singing——

"Today, He Xixi, the middle of the boat..."

When he spoke, tens of thousands of audience members were stunned - almost no one had heard Li Qian sing in such a thin and low voice! Even Liao Liao and Zhou Hao had never heard of it!

But I have to admit that his simple voice was very light and cloudy. When he received the word "flow", it was almost silent, only a little breath between his lips and teeth, coupled with the swaying of the guqin, Simply refreshing.

That is, these two sentences made many singers in the backstage, especially the father and son of the Xie family, suddenly showed a look of surprise when they heard it. Especially the old man Xie, the calm and indifferent face on his face seemed to have disappeared in an instant. At this moment, he rarely showed a look of high interest.

You must know that he has been vigorously advocating antiquity since more than ten years ago. Although he has achieved little success, even his many creations and attempts have ended in not being recognized by the music industry and the pop music world, but he advocated antiquity, Advocating to excavate deeper beauty from Chinese classical culture to enrich the current music scene, and even promote Chinese classical culture and oriental culture to the world through the form of songs, but it has always been the old man's mind.

That's why, when Li Qian's "Farewell" came out, the old man didn't care that Sony and Huage were rivals in the market, so he excitedly wrote a manuscript at that time, adding a lot to this ancient Chinese style. Appreciate! It is equivalent to taking the initiative to stand up and support Li Qian and the five elements and Wusu combination at that time!

But now, this old man who has been immersed in music all his life can hear it with only one ear. Not only the lyrics are absolutely authentic classical poems, but even the music seems to follow the classical path. , even... it's possible... The old man couldn't help thinking excitedly: Will he compose the music exactly according to "Gongshangjiao Zhengyu"?

Yes, foreign music is scaled according to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Du Ruimi and Laxi, these seven tones, but in ancient Chinese music inheritance, it is not. It has always been the five tones of "Gongshangjiao Zhengyu".

The so-called "five tones" in the idiom comes from this.

To put it bluntly, this is the purest Chinese culture!

At this moment, how could the old man not be excited! How can you not look forward to it!

At this time, Li Qian has continued to sing: "What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince."

His pronunciation is light and clear. However, relying on the current advanced technology, relying on a reliable radio and amplifier equipment, and of course, also relying on the quietness of the live fans - no matter how clear the labiodental sound, no matter how light, it seems that there is only one left. The sound of one breath was clearly sent to the ears of everyone at the scene.

Of course, the lyrics are really old fashioned. It’s good to have the lyrics, but if you read the words, you can guess what you don’t understand. But when I listen to the scene now, it’s a new song. Of course, I don’t have the lyrics to read. Therefore, in fact, the vast majority of people are completely confused about many of the sentences in it.

Today is what day, what day is today, I understand, no problem.

I have to be in the same boat with the prince... and I can probably understand it all.

However, for those who are unfamiliar and do not know the original poem, the four characters "Zhangzhou Zhongliu" really do not even understand which four characters are these four characters.

Fortunately, even if the literal meaning is not understood, it is not enough to become an obstacle to appreciating this song, this tune, and this ancient poem - at least, the general meaning can be guessed.

What's more, Li Qian sang so emotionally!

In the face of such a somber and emotional song, at the Changping Music Festival, tens of thousands of people deliberately restrained all the sounds, trying to capture every subtle breath conveyed by the sound, and feel it in the silent place. That swaying beauty.

And at this time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ God is pitiful...

Zhou Hao and Liao Liao looked at Li Qian's eyes, they were as bright as the sun!

Two remarks to make:

First, in the 1990s, Mr. Tan Dun released an experimental album called "Nine Songs". It was very experimental. Most people don't like it easily, but if you are interested, you can go Listen. It can be said that at that time, Tan Dun was still in the exploration period, and when he composed the music for "Yueren Song" and composed the music for the movie "Night Banquet", in fact, his exploration and this direction were relatively mature.

Second, in addition to Tengger and Zhou Xun's version of "Yueren Song", there is also Liu Yang's version. If you haven't heard this song before, you can listen to the first two versions, each with its own charm. If you have already heard the two versions and like them, I recommend you to listen to Liu Yang's version. The version performed by Li Qian in this article is closer to Liu Yang's style, not as fierce as Tengger's force. In my understanding, this should also be an expression that is closest to the meaning of the ancients.
