Now that I have met Fang Wens, although the two met for the first time, they are still strangers. But Shi Zhenqiu had limited time, and he didn't have time to communicate with the other party more, so he directly entered the stage of asking for advice.

However, geniuses don't need too many words to each other, and in the process of working together, they can naturally become confidants.

There were only more than ten days left for him to adapt and practice, so the two quickly sat down and entered the stage of communication.

As soon as he came up, Fang Wens had a curious question.

"How did you come up with the idea to adapt fireworks to be cold? This song is not easy to sing. ”

Fang Wens really couldn't understand that as a foreigner, it didn't matter if Shi Zhenqiu wanted to sing Chinese songs, but why would he choose such a difficult song as "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold"?

The difficulty of this song is not in the singing skills, but in the artistic conception.

Facing Fang Wens's question, Shi Zhenqiu smiled.

"If there is no difficulty, how can you win in the show?"

Fang Wens understood and couldn't help laughing.

As a musician, Fang Wens, like his Korean counterparts, is constantly learning.

He sees the development of music in South Korea next door, and he is also learning what is worth it.

After the program "I Am a Singer" was launched, it caused a lot of repercussions.

When Fang Wens has nothing to do, he will also watch it. At the same time, I can't help but sigh that when the industry I am in is standing still, the peers next door have actually come to this point.

Since Shi Zhenqiu joined the show, he has basically watched it all.

Shi Zhenqiu's adaptation of Gummy's "Don't" is his favorite work.

His collaboration with Zhou Jiel was originally to show pure Chinese culture and style. Therefore, Shi Zhenqiu's way of combining traditional culture and popularity is the most resonant.

However, he never thought that he would be able to cooperate with Shi Zhenqiu one day.

Not to mention that Shi Zhenqiu is internationally famous, and the singers he has worked with are all world-class people like Eminem and Bruno Mars, and as long as he is a Korean, there is no communication between the two.

As a result, I didn't expect that after seeing Shi Zhenqiu today, I realized that his Chinese was actually so good.

But Rao is like this, Fang Wens is still very worried.

Just because you speak Chinese well doesn't mean you know Chinese culture very well.

Especially ancient allusions, let alone a foreigner, even ordinary Chinese may not know it.

So when he taught Shi Zhenqiu, he said it very sincerely.

"One big difference between Chinese music and other music from other countries around the world is that the lyrics occupy a very large proportion. It can even be said that a song is so good that the lyrics are even above the melody. ”

This was really something that Shi Zhenqiu didn't know, and he couldn't help frowning.

"When it comes to music, it's not about the melody. ”

Musicians almost all over the world have a consensus that melody is the life of a musical work.

Because of the particularity of the melody, it can resonate with people's heart rate, thus affecting people's emotions.

As long as the melody is good enough, then the content of the lyrics does not matter, and the melody alone can make people sing and dance.

But at this time, Fang Wens said that in Chinese songs, the importance of lyrics is more than melody, which is completely beyond what Shi Zhenqiu has learned in the past.

Fang Wens seemed to have known that he would have questions, so he asked rhetorically: "How much do you know about Chinese culture?" For example, the Book of Songs, Han Fu, Yuefu Poems, Tang Poems, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, etc. ”

Shi Zhenqiu said sincerely: "Although I don't know a lot, I have heard a little. The more famous poems also have some understanding. ”

This answer has already impressed Fang Wens with him.

It is rare for a foreign star to be able to do this, and it is not easy.

Fang Wens said: "Then you know, in fact, what I said was sung in the era at that time. Although because of its age, it is unknown how it was sung. But that's exactly what the history books do. ”

This statement made Shi Zhenqiu a little confused, and he didn't know what Fang Wens meant.

Obviously, Fang Wens was not prepared to let him figure it out by himself, so he said it directly.

"But those poems and other things that were originally meant to be sung, although the way of singing has been lost, we modern people can appreciate the beauty of it just by looking at the words. What does that mean?"

This time Shi Zhenqiu understood, and hurriedly said: "It shows that this is the power of words, and just relying on words can show the artistic conception of those poems, right?"

Shi Zhenqiu's swift reaction amazed Fang Wens and made him even more appreciative.

No wonder this person can mix so well, just this exquisite heart knows more than countless people.

At the same time, Fang Wens also recognized Shi Zhenqiu's answer.

"The difference between Chinese and other languages is that words alone can create a painting-like mood. Writing good lyrics, even if there is no melody, is enough to be appreciated. This is the difference between Chinese music, and it is what you must understand first. ”

Shi Zhenqiu understood.

"In other words, if I want to perform the song Fireworks Easy to Cool well, then I need to understand the background and connotation of the work, and understand the story contained in each word, right?"

Fang Wens nodded, basically agreeing with Shi Zhenqiu's idea.

"The song Fireworks Are Easy to Cool is different from ordinary pop music, and there is a long historical and literary background behind it. Only by knowing the source of the allusion and understanding what kind of story it is, can we know how to grasp the charm of this song. ”

Next, it is Fang Wens's teaching time.

It was also through Fang Wens's indoctrination that Shi Zhenqiu knew that the song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" actually had a literary story that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The background of this song comes from the "Luoyang Jialanji" written by Yang Xuanzhi during the Northern Wei Dynasty.

This literary work describes the thousand-year-old ancient capital of Luoyang, which collapsed after being extremely prosperous.

In this story, a young general and a beautiful woman meet. The two fell in love at first sight and made a private agreement for life.

However, the good times did not last long, and the general was requisitioned by the imperial court to fight on the border.

However, in the era of war and chaos, Luoyang City has gone through several wars, and it has lost its prosperity and has become a ruin.

The woman withered the return of the general, but she waited for year after year, but she never waited.

In the end, the disheartened woman cut her hair and became a nun, and the ancient Buddha with a green lamp was left alive.

Years later, the general finally returned.

But by the time he came to Garan, the woman had already passed away.

People living nearby told the general that there was a woman waiting for him all the time.

The general was sad and unstoppable, feeling that the world is unpredictable, and the personnel are divided, like fleeting fireworks.

This is the source of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", and this song is also called Garan.

Shi Zhenqiu listened to it for more than an hour before he fully understood the background of the song, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was glad that he did not give up his trip to Taiwan because of trouble. If that's the case, you've lost a chance to really grasp the essence of the song.

If he only performs this song according to the information provided by the voice, he will definitely not be able to show the true charm of this song because of his lack of understanding.

In that case, if you want to be unique, it will become a luxury to have an amazing performance.

At this time, after learning about it completely from Fang Wens, he was also deeply emotional.

Sure enough, no matter the changes of the times, the beautiful and sad love story is so intoxicating. Listening to such a story, even those of us who come after us have more insights into love. ”

The same is true for Fang Wens.

"Who's to say it isn't. Hearing such a story tells us that we must seize the happiness in front of us in time. Otherwise, once you hesitate and miss, it will become a lifetime of regret and tragedy. Such an experience will never go out of style at any time. ”

In fact, he didn't know, after hearing the story of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", Shi Zhenqiu actually had more insights.

Didn't he go against his wishes, didn't get frightened because of difficulties, and made timely and courageous moves, so that he lived happily with the women he loved.

If we are afraid of the cold eyes of the world and the shackles of ethics, and we are afraid of the trouble of emotional entanglement, can we still have happiness today?

Love must be faced bravely.

Otherwise, he would have been like the general, with only painful remorse left.

Shi Zhenqiu was in a trance, as if he had also traveled through time and space, and became the general with gray sideburns who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

He is no longer the proud young man of the year, wandering in the flowery Luoyang City.

Although surrounded by a crowd of flowers, he was in the midst of a hundred flowers, and the dazzling shame turned into a never-repentant mountain alliance and sea oath.

originally made a promise to each other that they would stay together for the rest of their lives.

However, because of the hardships of the world, the two who loved each other had no choice but to fly apart, but they were separated forever.

This lovesickness has been strong for a long time, and everyone knows who is haggard for Yi. Remembering the flower road back then, not Luoyang City today.

The general, who had returned again, had become a faltering old man.

Luoyang City is not the Luoyang City of the past, and the people who once loved each other only left a green lantern.

How can such a change not make people sigh?

It can be said that during this trip to Taiwan, Shi Zhenqiu gained a lot, and the spiritual realm of the whole person has improved a lot.

After returning to South Korea, he struck while the iron was hot and immediately devoted himself to the adaptation of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold".

In addition, he also understood the true meaning of love more and began to accompany women more.

"Nuna, listen to this song. ”

In the quiet home, Shi Zhenqiu hugged Kim Tae-hee and released the adapted tune of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold".

He has already arranged and recorded this song, and delivered it to the production team.

And Kim Tae-hee was the first listener of the song.

At the beginning, the slight and almost inaudible cold melody made Kim Tae-hee's heart inexplicably rise a little sadness.

Before she could get used to the atmosphere, Shi Zhenqiu's more ethereal and vicissitudes of singing came into her ears.

It was obviously a hot summer, and she was still curled up in Shi Zhenqiu's arms, but Kim Tae-hee was stunned and felt a painful chill surrounding her, which made her shiver.

Although she couldn't understand the song, the sadness contained in it still made her mood fluctuate violently.

His eyes trembled, and he seemed to be surrounded by a feeling called mourning.

At this moment, Kim Tae-hee's ears couldn't even feel the melody that made people cry. It seems that Shi Zhenqiu's singing voice is more shocking, and it can hit her already sensitive heart even more.

I don't know why, listening to such a singing, Kim Tae-hee always has a feeling of remorse.

This kind of mood made her very scared, and she couldn't help but grab Shi Zhenqiu's hand. Only in this way can she have a sense of comfort and dependence.

didn't notice that Shi Zhenqiu was holding her arms, and he was pushing harder than before.
