First of all, let's talk about one thing: After the last chapter was sent out, I was a little dissatisfied with the end of the part, so I made a small repair, added a few words, and subscribed to the early friends, and friends who subscribed from the non-starting point, I may have seen the old version. I suggest you can go back and take a look. Of course, not looking at it doesn't affect the next look.

***

As mentioned earlier, the song "Don't-Break–My-Heart" is in the category of pop rock. And the so-called pop rock, as the name suggests, the taste of pop is still relatively strong, so, to a certain extent, this style of rock music, compared with heavy metal, compared with the so-called pure rock music, has a wider audience.

Reflected in a specific album, that is, only three weeks after the release of the album "Fake Monk", the song "Don't-Break–My-Heart" has surpassed "Fake Monk" and "Flower Girl" successively, and topped the Voice of China Radio Golden Melody On-Demand Chart.

And in the following week, the song that hit the second place on this list was also a pop rock, "Ronin Love Song".

Therefore, even the most fanatical people who love rock and roll in their hearts have to admit that in comparison, rock music is indeed a relatively niche music genre - at least relative to pop pop, it is true.

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

If it is singing heavy metal, the "fairy spirit" in Zhou Yan's voice is estimated to be not, not only will it not help the expression of musical feelings. On the contrary, it may contradict each other. makes the whole song sing-down nondescript. But sing pop rock like "Don't-Break–My-Heart". Really, Zhou Yan's voice, in this song, is like a fish in water.

In fact, when listening to her sing this song, Li Qian couldn't help but think: pop rock like "Don't-Break–My-Heart", and rock like "Fake Monk" in the direction of BLUS, are really suitable for Liao Liao and Zhou Yan to sing. Maybe when you're free, you can consider it...... Well, in fact, he himself knows that at least in the recent past, it is really difficult for him to be idle.

…………

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

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

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

Zhou Yan stopped when she heard this. Turn your head and look over.

In fact, not only her, but also Liao Liao and Cao Zhan, when they communicated in advance, they all knew one thing, what Li Qian said, the plan is a total of five songs - of course, the audience doesn't know.

Therefore, although she knew that she should step down at this time, Zhou Yan still stopped and looked at it curiously, as if she wanted to hear Li Qian report the name of the song before stepping down.

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

are all people who have heard the scene, many of them are still frequent visitors to the music festival, and they must come almost every year, everyone naturally knows that Li Qian said the fourth song, which means that it is almost over, and it can no longer be sung.

So, when the first person spoke, everyone then put their hands over the horn and shouted, "Let's do it again!"

Li Qian smiled, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said again: "OK! ”

The scene was suddenly thunderous.

After the applause subsided, Li Qian said again: "We all know that the Changping Music Festival is rock and roll, and it is also a folk song, so the next one, I am going to sing a folk song for everyone......" Speaking of this, he immediately raised his hand, made a downward posture, and said: "Please don't applaud, thank you! Please don't applaud!"

The applause that was about to burst out quickly disappeared.

The scene of twenty or thirty thousand people was almost silent, and everyone looked up at Li Qian.

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

Speaking of this, he suddenly half-turned around, looked at Zhou Yan, Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun and Liao Liao on the stage, smiled with some apologies, and said, "I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you all along, because I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job, so ...... Think of it as a surprise, okay?"

No one spoke, everyone just looked at each other.

It is not uncommon in China to compose music and sing those poems left by the ancients. Especially for Li Qian, it shouldn't be a rare thing. After all, he single-handedly initiated the music style that is now unanimously called "Chinese style" by the domestic music scene, and he also wrote ancient lyrics like "Farewell", which are put into the masterpieces of Song Ci and do not lose battles. compose music for ancient poems...... How old is it?

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

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

And turning around, Li Qian said seriously to the audience: "Yes, I'm not sure if what I'm doing is good or bad, he should be regarded as an experimental product of mine." If this kind of work can be liked by everyone, then I hope that in the future, I can write more works with a similar style to listen to everyone. Maybe it's me who sings, maybe Liao Liao sings, He Runqing sings, or...... Well, it is also possible to sing it for Zhou Yan. All in all......"

He paused, waved his arm unconsciously, and said, "An immature idea, a style that may not be popular, and an ancient poem that will be interpreted by many experts as homosexuality and love works in ancient and modern times. But I'm a singer. But just treat it like a beautiful love poem. Fortunately. The Changping Music Festival is a good enough and tolerant enough stage, so I dare to give it a try here and sing it to you. So...... OK！”

Li Qian's eyes had already seen that the staff had sent a guqin up, Wang Huaiyu got up to take it, and sat cross-legged on the stage on the spot, the guqin was on his lap!

As early as when Li Qian said that it was an ancient poem that was interpreted as a "same-sexuality-love work", there was already a faint commotion at the scene. It was difficult to maintain silence anymore, and at this time, seeing that the staff actually sent a guqin up, the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene couldn't help but whisper one after another.

Everyone seems to be very quiet, but tens of thousands of people whisper together, and the voice will still be very loud-

What kind of work is this, it seems that it is going to be sung by playing the guqin?

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

At this time, in the background, when someone is quick to pass the news. Many singers and agents at the scene were surprised. And Xie Jinshun and Xie Mingyuan are father and son. But they couldn't help but glance at each other, and their eyes were immediately a little surprised.

As Li Qian said just now, there is a new work, I want Xie Jinshun to comment on it, since that time, Xie Mingyuan has been thinking about what Li Qian's so-called new work will be, but he didn't think of it-is the guqin to do the matching? Could it be that he wants to sing the ancient style? But no, he said it, he wrote a new song by himself!

"Ding......

Wang Huaiyu, who was sitting on the ground, tried the piano under the attention of the whole audience, and made sure that there was no problem, but he adjusted the radio position of the microphone a little, and then nodded at Li Qian.

Li Qian also nodded with a smile, turned around, and said, "Then, OK, the following "Yue Ren Song" will be given to everyone." ”

Yue Ren Song?

I finally heard the name of the song, but no, the vast majority of people at the scene have not yet learned the ancient poetry to that extent, so when I heard this name, I immediately felt that it was ancient, but ...... I don't know where it came from, who wrote it, or what was written in it.

On the contrary, backstage, many musicians suddenly lit up when they heard this name - especially the lyricist, who may not be so familiar, but this can be called the earliest poetry in China, they at least know and have an impression.

For example, Xie Jinshun.

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

Xie Mingyuan has studied music since he was a child, and when he grew up, he traveled around to study, and later settled in France for many years, and his foundation in Mandarin was inevitably thinner, at this time, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at his father.

The father and son looked at each other, and the old man Xie Jinshun whispered: "The ancient poems of the pre-Qin period are from "Shuo Yuan". ”

Xie Mingyuan was stunned when he heard this.

At this time, the guqin on the stage had already sounded.

Tens of thousands of people at the scene were silent, and everyone stared intently at Wang Huaiyu who was sitting cross-legged on the stage.

The sound of the guqin, simple and elegant, does not calm down, for many people, they can't hear the beauty at all, but...... Fortunately, even people who have never heard the sound of the guqin before at least know that this is a musical instrument that has been circulating since ancient China for a long time, and will inexplicably feel that playing this thing is very high.

The sound of the piano is melodious, 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, from a slight place, with an almost imperceptible voice, Li Qian finally began to sing-

"Tonight, the middle of the boat......"

When he opened his mouth, tens of thousands of viewers in the audience were stunned - almost no one had heard Li Qian sing in such a thin and low voice! Even Liao Liao and Zhou Yan had never heard of it!

But I have to admit that his simple voice, the wind is light, and when he receives the word "flow", he is almost silent, only a little breath between his lips and teeth, and with the fluttering of the guqin, it is simply full of breath.

It was these two sentences that made many singers in the background, especially the father and son of the Xie family, suddenly show a look of surprise when they heard it. Especially the old man Xie, the original calm and bleakness on his face seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and at this moment, he rarely showed a look full of interest.

You must know that he has been vigorously advocating the ancient style since more than ten years ago, although with little success, even his own many creations and attempts, all of which ended in not being recognized by the music industry and the pop music world, but advocating the ancient style, advocating digging out a deeper beauty from the Chinese classical culture, to enrich the current music scene, and even through the form of songs, the Chinese classical culture, the oriental culture to the world, but it has always been the old man's mind.

It is precisely for this reason that when Li Qian's "Farewell" came out, the old man didn't care that Sony and Hua Ge were rivals in the shopping mall, so he excitedly wrote a manuscript at that time, praising this kind of ancient Chinese style work!

And now, this old man who has been immersed in music all his life can hear it with just one ear, this "Yue Ren Song", not only the lyrics are absolutely authentic classical poems, but even the tunes seem to be following the classical path, and even ...... It's possible...... The old man couldn't help but think excitedly: Will he compose the music completely according to the "Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu"?

Yes, foreign music is based on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Duremi Fa Laxi, these seven tones to determine the scale, but in the ancient Chinese music inheritance, it has always been the five tones of "Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu".

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

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

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

At this time, Li Qian had already continued to sing: "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 amplification equipment, and of course, relying on the silence of the fans at the scene - even how clear the lip and tooth sound, no matter how light, how light it seems to be only one breath, it is clearly delivered to the ears of everyone at the scene.

Of course, the lyrics are really too old-fashioned, it's good to have lyrics to read, and if you look at the words, you can guess if you don't understand it, but when you listen to the scene, it's a new song, of course, there are no lyrics to see, so, in fact, the vast majority of people are completely confused about many of the sentences in it.

Tonight, today, this understands, no problem.

Gotta be in the same boat with the prince...... I can probably understand it.

However, for people who are not familiar with and don't know the original poem, the four words "in the middle of the boat" really can't even figure out which four words these four words are.

Fortunately, even if you don't understand the literal meaning, it's not enough to be an obstacle to appreciating the song, the tune, and the ancient poem—at least, the general meaning can be guessed.

What's more, Li Qian sang so emotionally!

In the face of such a beautiful song, at the Changping Music Festival at this moment, tens of thousands of people deliberately converged all the sounds, and tried to capture every subtle breath transmitted from the sound, and felt its fluttering beauty in the silent place.

And at this time, the sky is pitiful......

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

***

There are two remarks to say:

First, Mr. Tan Dun released an experimental album called "Nine Songs" in the nineties of the last century, which is very experimental, and most people are not easy to like it, but if you are interested, you can still listen to it. It can be said that during that period, Tan Dun was still in the exploration period, and by the time he composed the music for "Yue Ren Song" and the soundtrack for the movie "Night Banquet", in fact, his exploration and direction were relatively mature.

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

Finally, I sincerely ask for a few monthly passes! )
