Whether it's the driver Lao Ren or the passenger sitting in the passenger seat, in fact, they are just ordinary fans, they only care about whether the song is good or not, and they don't care about or are not interested in some technical issues and other things.

But the exception is that when a song is particularly good and will be particularly liked by ordinary fans like him, but can't think of any more awesome words to praise, he will especially like to have experts or cattle who are more expert than himself, and can comment and praise it from some more professional angles or higher visions, so as to satisfy a certain ritual-like identity in his heart.

Moreover, music, fine arts, literature, films, TV dramas, opera, dance, architecture, and so on, almost all industries related to "creation" basically exist this phenomenon.

And in fact, there are not many people who have this kind of mentality - if a work of art is really good enough to resonate with most people!

And it is clear that "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" has done just that.

So at this moment, in fact, many ordinary fans who turned on the radio and listened to this show did not feel bored and impatient in the face of such a purely chat-style program, on the contrary, many people did not choose to change the channel, but listened to it with relish.

And while listening to it, I can't help but think, "Look! I'll just say, this song is awesome!"

At this time, in the radio program, the dialogue between the host Mina and Zhou Zhipeng continued.

In particular, Zhou Zhipeng was talking eloquently at this time, "There are a lot of musical elements contained in an album like "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", which is very rich and very rich! Generally speaking, our singers or producers, in order to ensure the unity of an album from content to style, basically have no courage to do this! What are other people's practices? That is, I will choose one or two works in an album and incorporate some fresh musical elements, so as to moderately broaden on the basis of maintaining my own style. Why? Because you play too much, there are too many styles to join, and there are too many heavy ones, and very few people can hold it! If you can't play, you will show timidity, and you will be embarrassed! It seems that your level is not enough!"

But Li Qian is obviously not like this, he has never been like this. Just like back then, we can now know that the "Sister and Sister Stand Up" of Wuxing Wusu back then should be his real first album work as a producer, at that time, he was a fledgling, and he already dared to mix a lot of styles and elements into one album! With the passage of time, instead of losing color and becoming outdated, it has become more and more weighty! Thinking about it carefully, up to now, a title song like "Sister Sister Stand Up" has been popular for half the sky back then, and even opened a precedent for a generation, but now, it is estimated that many fans will feel that it is still "Farewell"! Then in the current "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", Li Qian has done it more powerful and bold!

"How bold is he? Or how strong is his ability? Some fans may have felt it, but after all, they are not professionals, so they understand it in their hearts, but they can't say it, here, I can do an analysis for you, and I believe that everyone will understand it as soon as you hear it: Oh, yes, yes! I believe that as soon as you listen to what I say, you will have such an idea!"

"Well, listen up!" Mina said.

"What Li Qian did on this album, ten songs, in terms of big music style, including electronic dance music, rock, and one of them, heavy metal rock, hard rock in the heavy metal style that was not very common in Chinese rock for 20 years, and then, of course, there was pop, POP, the opening arrangement of "The-phoenix", and I even heard a strong symphonic style! And at the end of the album, what is it? "My Motherland" , a way that is so authentic that it can no longer be authentic in our own folk song in China!"

And that's not all, in terms of small aspects, or geographical factors, fans who are interested in music from all over the world and who are more involved in music from all over the world may also be able to hear that this album is not just a matter of crossing multiple genres, it also incorporates a lot of music and culture from all over the world! For example, "Come-on, Jime", ah, come on Jimmy, right? I believe that many fans feel a little weird and familiar after listening to it for half a minute, a lot of elements of Indian dance music, and a lot of elements of electronic dance music that are currently popular in foreign countries, that is, European and American music scenes!"

"Oh...... Yes, yes, Indian style!"

"Yes! For example, "We-will-rock-you" and "We-are-the-champions", although these two works don't sound like all the way, but in fact, if you listen to a lot of European and American rock, you will find that these two songs are simply pure European rock in the 80s! To be specific, the most popular insect band in the British seventies and eighties, if you put these two songs on their albums that year, it will definitely not be the slightest dissonance, perfect integration! Moreover, it is also the pinnacle of the album of such a rock and roll master!"

"Oh, that's right, then I'll have to find some more albums of the insect band, mix them up for everyone, let's listen to them, and feel the sense of integration that Professor Zhou said." ”

"Well, of course, there's The-Cup-of-live, what is this? Typical Latin dance music! And the Latin style of this song, put on the American Latin superstars, I dare say, is not inferior!"

As he spoke, Professor Zhou Zhipeng began to talk more and more excitedly, but from his tone, he could feel that he was talking about this matter very seriously.

His tone and seriousness make everyone who is listening to this show feel very clearly that he is seriously expressing his inner worship for these songs and this album.

"Also, the song "Waka-waka" is very unique, according to the explanation given in the song page of the CD, this is the language of the indigenous people of some tribes in Africa, and the translated meaning is probably 'lightning', and the copywriting is said to be made by Li Qian himself, it seems that he prefers to call the Chinese name of this song "Chinese Moment", however, its, the name of this song "Waka-waka", but very particular! The drums in this song, that sense of rhythm, is absolutely African! The style of the whole song is also full of the unique rhythm of African music for a week! As for something like "The-phoenix" with some psychedelic rock style, if it appears on someone else's album, it is definitely worth commenting on, but appearing on the album "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", frankly speaking, this kind of small direction is simply not worth mentioning!"

"In fact, if you look back, Indian dance music plus electronic dance music, Latin style, pure Chinese folk songs, plus old-school classical rock, plus heavy metal, we all know that the British are the most fond of heavy metal! There's also an African music like 'Waka-waka...... Can you imagine? They put the whole world in one album, ten songs, in this mere one!"

At this time, Mina no longer knew what to say.

For a while, Zhou Zhipeng's voice was very high-pitched, and he seemed extremely excited, on the other hand, yes, he also felt it faintly when he listened to it, but it was not as clear and macroscopic as listening to Professor Zhou Zhipeng's analysis.

Listening to what he said and analyzed, I looked back and couldn't seem to find anything to refute!

It seems that it must be admitted that this album is unusually powerful and unusually different!

As Professor Zhou Zhipeng said earlier, "This is a great album!"

At this time, the whole show almost turned into Zhou Zhipeng's own chatter.

He continued, "In fact, is it easy to achieve the practice of integrating many musical styles in this way? It is easy to achieve, it's a big deal about one song and one style! But before this album of Li Qian and the Four Great Beauty Bands, no one dared to do it, at least I had never heard of any album that dared to do this! Why? Afraid of chaos! To do this, first, it requires you to make each style unique and do it well, first of all, it is very difficult, and second, you do so many styles, all of them are very good, but you are a singer, The soul that a band has given to this album must be able to handle so many different styles of composition!"

"These two points, any point, can wipe out more than 99 percent of the singers and bands in the world! The remaining one percent is difficult to achieve perfection in both points! But now, this "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", in my opinion, is close to perfection!

"Oh......"

"And what particularly touched me? I mean, this album, what particularly touched me in this album was that they mastered so many styles with ease, and made wonderful creations and interpretations, and in the end, they still put it away neatly, and in the end, all of this, these creations, these great attempts, these shocking breakthroughs, in the end, all turned into a patriotic heart!"

"Ah...... "My Motherland"!"

"Yes, My Motherland!"

Zhou Zhipeng said with emotion, "After so much hustle and bustle in front of them, so many wishful shuttles between various musical styles, and so many fresh or classic music creations, in the end, they returned to the clean beginning, a pure patriotic heart! Moreover, I remember you mentioned it just now, saying that it is the first time you have heard Li Qian sing like that and in that voice, right?...... I can tell you that I was already shocked when I recorded this song! Or I was not surprised that Li Qian was able to write such a pure national style and folk song as "My Motherland", but he set K so high, and he said that he wanted to sing it himself, not for Liao Liao or He Runqing, I was frightened at that time!"

"The K of that song is very high, I remember it was SO-H, anyway, even a female voice will have a hard time singing, Liao Liao's voice is top-notch, I originally thought that the song was written for her, I don't think it's a big problem, but later, Li Qian said that he wanted to sing it himself. So, we recorded that song about 378 times! Thirty-seven or eight times! Let's put it this way, as long as the rehearsal is good, the four major beauty bands can usually record the song about 10 times, but that song has been recorded 378 times, close to 40 times, which is very rare!"

"We all know that Li Qian usually sings, the most commonly used part, is actually his alto, his alto is very good, very mellow and very clear feeling, he can't sing high notes, but singing too high, the stability of the voice, the degree of beauty, etc., will be much worse, some of his sounds ...... Hehe, I'm not afraid of offending him, some of his voices, some vocal ranges, are actually very unpleasant!"

"Of course, the reason why "My Motherland" was recorded so many times before it was completed, there were many times in the front that it was easy to sing broken notes and the like, but in the back, in fact, many times it was a little out of control emotionally. Even at the end, it's the version that is finally presented to everyone, and everyone goes back and listens carefully, and in the last B section, his voice is a little floating, a little too sharp, which is a pure technical mistake, or rather, the sound is not enough to control!"

"However, I want to say that this song may only score seven points, ten points, and seven points in terms of singing skills, and its quality is also poor compared to those alto-based songs that Li Qian used to control, but the kind of emotional investment that Li Qian sang when he sang this song, the mellow feeling brought to the whole song, and the kind of emotional explosiveness that all his previous works cannot be compared! The song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is also very powerful, but the degree of power is only "My Motherland" at best Half of that!"

"An incomparably clean folk song, Li Qian expresses it in a place that is not at all in the vocal range that he is good at, but it precisely interprets the strong but natural patriotic feelings to the fullest!"

"I want to say that although there have been countless patriotic songs in China for so many years, this song will surely go down in history! It will surely become a classic that cannot be surpassed! Maybe one day, this song will be sung by a soprano singer, and it will be interpreted more smoothly, freely and mellow from a technical point of view, but I believe that even after a few decades, the most impressive thing about this song will definitely be the version sung by Li Qian, the subtle tremor in those voices, those sincere purity, and the singing of the child! ”
