Perfect Life

The three Americans expressed surprise, but Liao Liao was very calm, not feeling anything wrong.

If the so-called artistic talent and musical talent are determined by singing, then Li Qian's words are of course problematic. No one else will say that the three queens of Minghu Culture are all masters of singing, Zhao Xinfu, Liu Mingliang, those are also top-notch voices. In terms of the width, thickness, and singing skills of the voice, Gerileng, a Mongolian man, can kill Li Qian in seconds, and Zhou Ye's high-pitched voice can smash Li Qian into the ground. go inside!

But obviously, Li Qian's talent in music creation kills all of them!

As early as in college, Liao Liao tried to create a lot of works by himself. Later, he signed a record company and released a single to test the water. He was barely a professional singer, and he worked hard to create. After the album "Liao Liao" became a big hit , She was not reconciled to her status as a "singer", and even went out to collect songs and tried to write a few songs of sufficient quality for herself.

Unfortunately, after so many years, she has to admit that she is indeed far inferior to Li Qian in terms of creative talent.

Even, not to mention Li Qian, as far as the domestic music scene is concerned, I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the first-class, and my talent in voice and singing is simply not on the same level!

As for coming to the United States, after she realized that she would take the international route in the future, on the one hand, she expanded the scope of her listening to music, on the other hand, she tried to understand the western music culture. In the past six months, she also tried to write a lot of English works. , but the more she learned and the more she wrote it herself, the more she understood the huge difference between Eastern and Western music.

As we all know, in the past few hundred years, first Europe and then the United States have become the center of the whole world. Especially in recent decades, the United States has developed an open mind because of its economic development, just like the Tang Dynasty in China a thousand years ago. It is indisputable. It leads global culture, not only in movies and novels, but also in music.

Not to mention the contention of a hundred schools of thought in music genres in Europe and the United States, people of all skin colors and music of various races collide here, constantly producing fresh musical elements, attracting ears all over the world who like to listen to music, just talking about music There is a huge difference in the creative process between the East and the West!

China has been consistent for thousands of years, and even in the contemporary era, it is still habitual to regard music creation and lyrics creation as something done by cultural people, and singers are simply singers who are only responsible for singing. Therefore, many Chinese Like Liao Liao, all of the singers in the song are not able to write songs at all, or they seldom sing their own songs after they have written them. There are even many singers who don’t even know the staff!

It was only in recent years that a group of so-called "singing and composing" singers began to appear in China, and a group of people began to become popular one after another, gradually establishing their status in the music world.

In Europe and the United States, there is a long-term legacy of bards, writing songs, arranging songs, playing the piano, and singing! So here, although it is still very common to sing songs composed by others, so-called "singer-composer" singers have been everywhere for decades.

Therefore, most of the Chinese singers are selected. What everyone compares is purely about the sound, the control of the sound, and the singing skills. On the European and American side, the sound is only a part, in addition, there will be many more. People, in fact, their voices are not very beautiful, but they write and sing their own songs. Because of their outstanding creative talents, they can still become emperors and superstars despite their innate vocal conditions!

And this situation, in China, especially in the early years of China, is more difficult!

It is hard to say which of the two models is superior and who is inferior, and it is even more impossible to make a rash conclusion, but at least, the current Western model is popular all over the world!

At least in recent decades, although China has been increasing its contact and communication with the outside world, cultural circles such as the music and film circles have also been deeply affected, and they have continuously absorbed nutrients from the mainstream Western cultural circles. Improve yourself, but to be honest, because of various problems, this gap has been narrowed a little bit, but at present, the gap is still very large.

Speaking of singers, such as China's He Runqing, Liao Liao, Zhou Cong, Zhen Zhen, Zhao Xinfu, Liu Mingliang, etc., the kings and queens of the music world, if they only talk about their voices, to be honest, there is no problem in the world. After all, they are from Among the billion people who stand out, all of them are top-notch voices, and all of them are particularly good at singing. Compared with many top singers in Western society, Europe and the United States, they are not inferior!

But when it comes to music creation, the Western music circle is far ahead of China in terms of the freedom of creative ideas, the breadth of music genres, and the complexity and variety of music styles.

In this regard, I only read Li Qian's "First Experience of Love" and Wang Jingxue's "Thirty-six Strategies of Love", and they were attacked and criticized by domestic critics just because a few songs adopted a very novel style. , the atmosphere and state of the domestic music circle can be imagined.

Therefore, in the past ten years, there have been Chinese singers trying to go abroad and go to the world, but apart from Liao Liao, no one has succeeded so far!

Chinese singers are the world's top, at least there is no shortage of world-class voices, but domestic music creation is not very compatible with the sound level of domestic singers.

To put it bluntly, it is about ten or eight years behind the international level.

This kind of thing involves the vision, habits, atmosphere, and other aspects of the entire music circle, but it also has a certain relationship with the appreciation taste of domestic music audiences and listeners - the creator can't write it, and the people who appreciate it can temporarily Accept the current level and don't have a strong and urgent need to hear international music!

And it was against this background that Li Qian was suddenly born out of nowhere!

Not only can he be very Chinese, very ethnic, very classical, very folk, but also very international and very global!

An Oscar for Best Score, and My-heart-will-go-on, says it all!

Otherwise, how could Liao Liao, such a proud person with such powerful abilities, be willing to follow him willingly, and even bear the identity of being a concubine by default even before entering the door, even if there is a woman on the other arm. She also endured Zhou Ai, who didn't like to see very much. Even if she became an international queen, even if she was actually qualified and capable of getting rid of Li Qian, she was enough to stand on her own in the international music scene, but she has no regrets so far?

In fact, it can be said that from the unrestrained and shocking moment of tearing off a few songs on the rooftop, to the shock of hearing "Farewell" later, I have come this way, whether it is musical talent or charisma, Liao. Liao has already become the number one big fan of Tianzi around Li Qian!

Li Qian said that he was a little bit stronger than Liao Liao. In Liao Liao's opinion, of course, it was absolutely correct, and she would even think that Li Qian's statement was justified!

Saying "a little bit stronger" is already a relatively modest statement!

However, of course, the American people do not know.

In particular, after knowing each other for a few months, having a lot of contacts, and even starting to work closely, Millie Feier, Serena Dunn and Jon Boo, who already know Liao Liao's musical talent very well. Ridges, it is inevitable to hold a skeptical attitude about this!

Liao is so talented and powerful, how can Li say that he is better than her?

Really?

…………

It was Millie Feier again, who couldn't help but say: "Qian, Liao is going to make a new album. It is said that you must have written a new song for her, right? She also invited me to write a new song for her, should we compare it? A match?"

American girls are very honest and proud.

However, Li Qian, who was used to staying in China, did not expect the other party to be so arrogant.

And... since ancient times, there is no first martial arts, no second, music, how to compare?

Do you rate it?

Li Qian shrugged, and before he could speak, Liao Liao smiled and said, "Milly, I advise you not to compare yourself with him, you will be hit very hard!"

Li Qian looked at her sideways.

This girl is picking things up!

After Liao Liao finished speaking, he turned his head to look over and winked, as if to say, "Yes, sir, I'm just picking things up!"

This is a little embarrassing.

First of all, in Li Qian's view, music is definitely different, otherwise it would not have been a big wave for decades, so many songs have appeared, released, and sold, but in the end, only those who have been widely spoken are left. It is a classic, but the competition of music requires time, the ears and hearts of listeners and fans to judge its competition!

Don't look at what he is doing in China for drafts and newcomers, but in fact, in his opinion, this face-to-face instant so-called PK, you sing a song, I sing a song, the audience and the judges rate it, it is very impersonal , is also very unfair, it will be affected by many non-musical factors.

But... Liao Liao is deliberately picking things up!

Whether it’s because of absolute trust in yourself, or if you want to show yourself to the three American friends on the opposite side, or if you don’t make a deal, in short, you can’t admit it when you are in a hurry to talk. Bar?

Li Qian turned to look at Xie Mingyuan.

Xie Mingyuan shrugged, smiling all over his face, putting on a stance of watching the excitement.

Li Qian said helplessly, "I'm very happy that you wrote a song for Liao Liao, and I don't think there is a difference between who is better than the other in creating music. No one can evaluate the songs that the two of us wrote. Good and bad..."

Before he could finish speaking, the upright girl opposite waved her hand, "No, no, no!"

She pointed to her left chest, tremblingly, and said seriously: "We are all musicians, our hearts, mine, Serena, Jon, our hearts, can all make judgments!"

Li Qian was speechless.

At this time, Serena and Jon nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, that's right! Our hearts can perceive the power of music! We can distinguish their strengths and weaknesses!"

Sounds like a bunch of fanatics!

Come on, there are decibel-measuring machines available outside, but do you have software in your heart to measure the beauty of music and the quality of movement?

At this time, Millie Phil said more seriously: "Yes! Qian, believe us! If my music is not as good as yours, I will admit it frankly, and they will admit it too!"

Li Qian looked over, and the two fanatics nodded.

Helplessly looking up at the large chandelier on the ceiling, bowing his head, Li Qian shrugged, "Okay, okay! Then I can..."

Millie Mayfair immediately jumped up from the sofa excitedly, "YES! No problem, I'll come first!"

…………

In Liao Liao's mansion, there is a piano room that covers a considerable area.

There are more than a dozen musical instruments in it, and there is actually a guqin among them. Li Qian knows that she can't play this at all. It is estimated that she bought it and put it here, purely to show off to American friends?

A group of people ran into the piano room with great interest. Even Sun Meimei, Liao Min, and Liao Liao's American assistant, Tyler Barnes, came to hear the news, and a group of people crowded into the piano room.

Opening the lid of the piano, Millie Phil found a string of notes in her hand, revealing her solid piano skills, then turned around and smiled at Li Qian and Liao Liao, and started playing the piano.

Liao Liao hugged Li Qian's arm, smiled and leaned into his ear, whispering, "This song is great!"

Li Qian glanced over.

Liao Liao returned a look smugly.

Full of provocation!

Or it can be understood that she has too much confidence in Li Qian, and she is not worried that Li Qian will not be able to come up with a masterpiece that is enough to suppress the American trio!

The piano sounded, Millie Faye's piano was really good.

The tune is in a lyrical style, and Li Qian knew it when she sang it together. This is a soul music.

Soul music has a very high requirement on the vocal control ability of the singer.

As a typical "singing out" singer, Millie Faye wrote her own songs and was very emotional. Not only did she sing with full strength, but she was also very emotional, and she was agile and heavy when she sang it. Hearing the piano, Li Qian closed his eyes unconsciously.

Li Qian's English is not very good at first. When he came to the United States last time, he made up for it for a while~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Later, he practiced his oral English quite well, but now it is a year or two later. To be honest, It's been a long time since I haven't used it for a long time, and I've regressed again. This leads to a small part of the lyrics of Millie Faye's singing. He will not sound sure, but following the lyrics before and after, they can probably string together, the basic meaning, Still understandable.

A good soul piece.

The general meaning of the lyrics should be the story of a little girl discovering herself, discovering love, and discovering the true meaning of life - such inspirational and heart-warming lyrics are relatively common in the works of many European and American singers. Surprisingly, Millie Feier's lyrics skill in this song should be slightly worse than her composing ability!

In addition, I have to say that in the eyes of the Chinese who have been influenced by various poems and songs for thousands of years, you can hardly translate the lyrics of many foreigners. After translating, you will think, I will go, this is too simple. ?

Well, if you have to rate it, in Li Qian's opinion, this should be a top rated work!

It should be able to get 65 to 70 points on the percentile system!

Don't think that this score is small, in terms of Li Qian's standards, this already means that this is a good enough work!

So, the pressure is really coming!
