Several judges discussed and sent Zhou Yingchen to answer everyone's questions, Zhou Yingchen was also prepared for this question, picked up the microphone and paused and said, "Xia Shamo's performance in this song is perfect, why 0.2 points are deducted is because she chose an English song, she also chose an English song in the last qualifying competition, and her singing was flawless, I also deducted 0.2 points." ”

Zhou Yingchen pushed off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at the manuscript paper, and continued: "In recent years, singing English songs has become a fashion for singers. However, whenever I ask these people, most of them don't know the meaning of the lyrics. I have always insisted on my own views on the issue of Chinese people singing foreign songs, and I have put forward the idea that "singing should belong to the mother tongue" more than once in class. Because of this incident, some teachers who encouraged students to sing English songs even approached me for reason, questioning my behavior of "contrarian" among students. Actually, he didn't understand what I meant. My point of view is not to reject or deny the idea of learning to sing English songs, but to make students understand why they should sing English songs. As a person who studies pop music, learning English songs is a compulsory course, and it is not a question of whether you can learn it or not, but it must be learned. Why? Because, European and American pop music is stronger than us. I have been studying Western pop music for more than ten years, and I know the power of European and American pop music, and the reason why I put forward the idea of "singing should adhere to the mother tongue" is because I think that our 'Chinese civilization' is also very strong, and we must use our own culture to counter foreign culture. Therefore, English songs should be learned, but I feel that learning it is only a process, not a goal. ”

Zhou Yingchen's fingers were dipped in saliva, turned a page of manuscript paper, and continued to say: "Language is the root of a nation's culture. Isn't it a serious problem for a country's television screen to be filled with foreign songs? I have met many students who ask them to sing Chinese songs, and someone even said, "I don't usually sing Chinese songs, I usually sing English songs." He thinks that Chinese music is vulgar, but we have so many good pop musicians in China, such as Zhang Xueyu, Li Huan, and Gao Shu, and these people are actually a very terrible cultural blind stream. At that time, Taiwan was occupied by Japan, and Japan adopted the "Imperial Movement" to force Taiwanese people to speak Japanese and sing songs in Japanese. What a terrible cultural invasion this is, and how serious are the consequences if a people's language is assimilated? Nowadays, the admiration of European and American culture among Chinese people, especially young people, has begun to spread, and learning to sing English songs is one of the most obvious phenomena. ”

"However, we have to tell young people that liking foreign things must be based on cultural introspection and be rational. Last year, four students from our school made it to the finals of the Golden Bell Award Pop Music Competition, and they showed their strength at one of the school's events. After the performance, I said to the dean next to me, these four students must not go far, why? Three of them sang English songs, and only one was slightly weaker in Chinese. I think, we have 2,000 students studying pop singing, can't we find a good singer who can sing Chinese? As a result, only one student who sang Chinese songs won the bronze award, and all the other students were unsuccessful. The "Golden Bell Award" is such a government award that represents the country, and you can "play" with English songs, if you can win the award in this way, I don't think it will be okay to win this award. Here Xia Shamo is no longer just singing English songs, she sings originally, and even her creation discards her native language, which is undesirable, so even if she sings well, I can't give her full marks here. After finishing speaking, Zhou Yingchen looked at the group of people in the stands seriously, and seemed to be very satisfied with his words, but in fact, he was secretly glad in his heart: Fortunately, Xia Shamo chose an English song, so that he still had a reason to find a reason, otherwise he really didn't know what to say.

Zhou Yingchen's righteous remarks against the "crown of sin" from the perspective of national righteousness made all the audience feel that what he said was not unreasonable. The on-site director was also very satisfied with Zhou Yingchen's performance, he successfully brought the audience from the singing competition to the cultural struggle, and many audiences with strong national consciousness have been led crookedly, and they feel that what Professor Zhou said is quite right.

Seeing that the audience was quiet, the director felt that the situation had been controlled, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and took the microphone and asked, "Do you still have any questions about Professor Zhou's answer?" ”

The audience was silent, and when the other party stood on the commanding heights of national righteousness, there seemed to be no reason to refute him.

Cheng Xiaoyu stood on the stage and looked at Xia Shamo's somewhat lonely expression, knowing that she seemed to recognize that what the other party said was reasonable, and the pride of the Chinese nation in this time and space was a bit too arrogant. The song was chosen by Cheng Xiaoyu, and now he has to stand up and carry the pot.

He stepped forward and said to the director of the scene, "I have something to say. ”

Before the director of the scene could react, Cheng Xiaoyu took the microphone in Xia Shamo's hand and said loudly, "I wrote the song "listen", let me first talk about why this song was written in English. As an expert in the audience, the judges should know that English is indeed more suitable for singing than Chinese in pronunciation, its biting and line cavity are easier to find a more ideal vocal state than Chinese, English pronunciation is easier to change than Chinese pronunciation, English speaking is flat, so when singing, it can sing a variety of up and down tones. The pronunciation of the Chinese language itself is divided into equal ups and downs, and when singing, this intonation will limit the tonal change of the melody. The song "listen" is extremely difficult to sing, if it is changed to Chinese lyrics, it will be difficult to express the complete artistic conception, and many singing skills are also difficult to use, such as the kind of rotation and ornamentation that are difficult to sing in Chinese, so when writing this song, I first considered how to express the music I wanted to express in an ideal state. In the end, English was chosen, simply because it was the most suitable. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu stood on the stage and talked eloquently, paused to see that no one came out to refute him, and continued, "I don't agree with Professor Zhou's raising of the singing competition to the height of national righteousness. Art is not measured by national borders, it is not politics, it is not economic, it is not selfish, it has the characteristics of being very loving and benevolent, Beethoven thinks it is more revealing than truth! If you are a nationalist, don't study art, because your own thinking is limited by national borders, not to mention that there are 56 ethnic groups in China alone, and you will never be able to do it to the extreme without tolerance! Nowadays, young people prefer European and American pop music, because of the problems of Chinese musicians themselves, stubbornly conservative and not enterprising, the low quality of music, as the mainstay of the music industry, you don't dig into your own reasons, but blame others for doing too well, so you have to resist cultural invasion, this reason I really think is a little funny. And as a singing competition, whether you sing well or not is fundamental, because if you sing in English, it doesn't make sense to be the first. According to your theory, why do you hold a piano competition? It's all about playing foreigners' works, and you can't learn things like piano and violin, they were all invented by foreigners. Excessive self-esteem is inferiority, and there is no Chinese people's inclusive temperament at all, what art do you study? Oh, I see Professor Chou is wearing a Rolex, right? There are so many good watch brands in Huaxia, why don't you buy domestic ones? Want to buy Swiss? It turns out that you don't support Chinese civilization as you said! ”

Zhou Yingchen's face turned pale, and he put the hand resting on the table under the table, and the audience was also confused by this war of words. They felt that what Cheng Xiaoyu said seemed to be very reasonable. (To be continued.) )
