"I'm done singing, thank you!"
Su Qin put his hand away in a chic manner, gently pulled the folk guitar behind him and carried it, and then picked up the microphone and said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a while, his gaze was fixed on Li Jun in the judges' seat: "Teacher Li Jun, I have already completed a song on the spot according to your requirements, so, now please ask Teacher Li Jun to comment, I wonder if Teacher Li Jun will think that my song "You at the Same Table" is also plagiarized?" ā
Swish!
The eyes of the audience were all cast on Li Jun on the judges' seat.
The lens of the camera also gave Li Jun a big close-up.
The atmosphere at the scene was frozen to the extreme for a while.
Li Jun looked at the judges beside him, he wanted to say Su Qin, what kind of and thing are you writing, this can also be regarded as a song! But after he looked into the eyes of the judges around him, he couldn't help it, he looked around again, looked into the eyes of the nearby students, and after a while, without saying a word, he took off the "judge" sign hanging on his chest and slammed it on the table, and then, he left the table angrily.
Teacher Li Jun...... Teacher Li Jun ......" Su Ge stood up and shouted a few times, but Li Jun instead quickened his pace, and Su Ge opened his mouth, but, in the end, he just sighed and sat down.
Bang bang bang.
In the gymnasium, I don't know who took the lead in clapping his hands, and after an instant, thunderous applause rang out, deafening.
Li Jun, who had just walked to the door, was stunned when he heard these applause, and after an instant, he kicked the door angrily, "Fuck your mother!" He yelled angrily. But he really tried too hard, just once, there was a heart-piercing pain on his toes, the toes may have been broken, his tears flowed down instantly, and the whole person sat on the ground in pain.
At some point, the applause gradually subsided.
So, Mr. Su Ge picked up the microphone: "Su Qin, thank you for your singing, thank you for making us have such a wonderful experience tonight." After saying that, he took the lead in clapping his palms, and after that, the whole gymnasium once again resounded with wave-like applause, which was deafening, and the roof of the gymnasium was about to be lifted.
This time the applause lasted for a very long time, very, very long, so long that everyone was stunned for a moment, and then, after coming back to their senses, everyone's applause rang out again, and the applause, which had just weakened a little, became enthusiastic again.
If it weren't for Su Ge standing up and saying, "Okay, okay, everyone come here, otherwise I think this applause will continue until tomorrow morning", and I am afraid that the applause will continue.
After all the voices were quiet, Su Ge picked up the wireless microphone again and said: "Su Qin, the song "You at the Same Table" you sang just now and the song "Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk" you sang before seem to have the same style, but as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a description of this kind of music in our ready-made music system, so, can you tell us all about how you wrote such music?" I've been thinking about how to write music that sounds good and is easy to pop for a while, but to be honest, I still don't have a clue. Su Qin, please tell me about your experience. ā
"Okay." Su Qin nodded.
Tonight's competition was originally a college student campus singer competition, but looking at the current appearance, it seems that it is about to become a creative example teaching display, however, for such a situation, Su Qin is actually happy to see it, his biggest goal now is to show his face more, show himself more, attract more fans, and do so, which will obviously help him achieve his goal, so he gladly accepts Mr. Su Ge's proposal.
Clearing his throat, Su Qin spoke; "Before I talk about my creation of these two songs, I would like to ask you a question, what kind of music do I, you, and everyone here, ordinary people like us, want to listen to, or rather, what kind of music do we, ordinary people, need?"
As soon as Su Qin asked this question, the people present, especially the judges in the first row, and many literary and art reporters, were stunned in their hearts, and said that this question still needs to be considered?
However, after a while, many of them, especially those who are engaged in commercial music, experienced a second or two of disapproval, but their hearts were tight.
Especially when everyone suddenly remembered the speech made by Her Majesty the Queen on New Year's Day entitled "What kind of art do we need", the confusion in their hearts is even stronger.
Yes, what kind of music do our people need?
What kind of path should our music take in the future?
Su Qin looked around, smiled faintly, and then continued: "I'm not a professional, so I can't say the truth that it's too big, too good, too incisive, but I'm also an ordinary person, so I know what kind of music I want, I'll take eating as an example, I think our current music, such as Kunqu Opera, such as symphony, such as concerts, such as popular songs like "Nobody Sleeps Tonight", these music, good or not, of course, these music, whether artistic or what, They are all treasures in the history of human culture, and are the highest embodiment of human spiritual civilization, in my words, these music and art are like a big meal in our diet, not only full of color, flavor, and nutrition, but also extremely rich in nutrition. ā
"It's a fitting analogy." Suge smiled.
"No problem." Other judges and teachers also said.
"Agreed." A lot of the audience also cheered along.
Su Qin smiled and said, "Then I'm going to ask you next, the big meal is so good, so in our daily life, do we eat a big meal every day?" ā
Belch? What do you mean?
Many viewers were stunned and failed to understand.
Yes?
Several judges, as well as some literary and art reporters, were also stunned, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all seem to have understanding.
Teacher Su Ge frowned, and after a moment, he slapped his thigh with a snap: "Wonderful! What a wonderful analogy! ā
Su Qin then continued: "The big meal is very good, we all know this, but in real life, ordinary people like us can't go to eat a big meal every day, why, some people may say that the big meal is too expensive and can't afford it, of course, this is also a reason, but I think that if everyone has the opportunity to eat a big meal every day, everyone will only have one result, and when they hear the words go out to eat a big meal, they want to vomit." ā
"It's true!" Some nodded in agreement.
"I support this statement, to be honest, what I'm most afraid of now is going out to eat, rather than going outside, I'd rather drink gruel and eat pickles at home every day." Suge smiled and agreed.
Su Qin smiled and continued: "Actually, I'm the same, although the big meal is delicious, but if you ask me to eat it every day, I don't want to, I prefer to eat roadside stalls than big meals, what mutton skewers, what shabu-shabu, what stinky tofu, I prefer these, why is this happening, I don't know." I'm just wondering, is our music the same as what we eat, art music is of course very good, just like a big meal, whether it is color, flavor or nutrition, it is impeccable, but we ordinary people are more willing to eat roadside stalls, more willing to eat home-cooked side dishes at home, so the music we people need is not a big meal, but a roadside stall, but home-cooked side dishes!
Why this is happening, I don't know.
Maybe ordinary people like us will have joys, sorrows and sorrows every day, when we are happy, we want to express, when we are angry, we also want to express, when we are sad, we want to express, when we are happy, we also want to express, but what do we use to express it, do we use "Symphony of Destiny", or "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night"? ā
As soon as Su Qin's question came out, the people present, especially the judges and those literary and art reporters, were all stunned: "Yes, we ordinary people need to use music to express our emotions, but these current music, either too abstract, or too high-minded, or basically have nothing to do with everyone's life, what do you use to express it?" How many people will pay attention to the fate of the universe, and how many people want to study fate itself, but everyone just wants to live a simple and ordinary life! ā
Su Qin looked around and said conclusively: "So, I think that the music we had before was art music and elegant music, but it was not the music that our people needed most, we ordinary people, we just wanted to listen to some good music, we only wanted to listen to some music that could express our emotions, for example, when we graduated from our senior year, we just wanted to hug our brother and drink beer together and sing "Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", instead of going to the concert hall to listen to "Nobody Sleeps Tonight", For example, when we happened to hear the news of the same table when we were children, we just wanted to sing a song "You at the Same Table" while drinking, in a word, the music that we ordinary people need is music that can express ourselves, and it is precisely because of this that I think that at this year's New Year's Day speech, our most respected Queen will deliver a speech entitled "What kind of art do we need", because our great Queen Majesty has seen that the future era will be an era of self-expression, It will be an era with the common people as the core, so our esteemed Majesty the Queen will ask those of us who do art to seize the time to change......"
