Zheng Xiao finished writing the song, put down the pen, and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was only about ten minutes in the past.
"Zheng, finished writing?" MJ was surprised.
"That's right, it's done, Mike, take a look, how it feels." Zheng Xiao smiled and handed him the song.
MJ picked it up and started reading.
The first two sentences shocked him.
For nothing else, the lyrics are very powerful and imposing, which makes people feel a lot.
MJ naturally knows that in this song "The Great Wall" written by Zheng Xiao, "he" refers to Qin Shi Huang, this song begins with the unification of China by Emperor Qin, and tells the story of a Chinese nation that has been building the Great Wall for more than 2,000 years.
It's a really good song!
Although this song involves a lot of Chinese historical information, it may be a little puzzling for Westerners. However, because this song unfolds in the form of a narrative story, Westerners can understand even if they do not know the historical allusions of the Qin Emperor's construction of the Great Wall.
"Good song, it's really good! I was deeply moved by this song, Zheng! You're so talented! I like this "The Great Wall", I think, it will become one of my masterpieces, Zheng, you make a price, I want to buy it! MJ obviously liked the lyrics of the song so much that after reading it, he immediately asked to buy it.
Zheng Xiao listened, shook his head and smiled: "Mike, this song is not for sale!" ā
"Ahh That's really, it's a pity, but I understand you, it's up to you to sing this song or it would be more appropriate. MJ was disappointed, but also understanding.
"Mike, I don't sell it, but I can give it to you for free!" Zheng Xiao added with a smile, "You sing the English version of "The Great Wall", and I sing the Chinese version of "The Great Wall", how about it?" ā
MJ was stunned.
He just heard Zheng Xiao say that he would not sell it, and thought that Zheng Xiao was planning to sing it himself, but he didn't expect that he was going to sing it for free.
He was very impressed.
"Zheng, this is a good song, a very meaningful song that is likely to attract strong public attention, you are also a great English singer, in the world, in fact, the market for English songs is larger than Chinese songs, don't you think this is a huge loss?"
MJ said to Zheng Xiao very seriously.
"Mike, my roots are in China, I actually prefer Chinese songs, I'll sing you the English version of this song, and then, I can also put it on my new English album." Zheng Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Zheng! I appreciate your kindness. I've just rearranged this song in my mind, and I'll sing it to you, how about it? MJ thanked him and changed the subject.
He's a music nerd.
When I saw such a good lyric, when I just read it, the melody of the arrangement had already begun to appear in my mind.
This made him a little uncontrollable, and he was eager to sing the melody in his heart.
"Okay, Mike, you sing, I'll help you with the score." Zheng Xiao smiled and raised the pen in his hand, meaning that he was ready.
"Then I'll get started."
MJ picked up the piece of paper with the lyrics on it, got up from the couch, took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and then, with a mouth, he began to sing.
He sings a bit blues style, mixed with a little R&B melody, and the rhythm of the singing at the beginning is relatively clear and concise.
All in all, beautiful.
Zheng Xiao listened and wrote down the score quickly.
And the MJ, who sang unwillingly, also completely let go, twisted himself in front of Zheng Xiao and walked up the stage, singing loudly.
MJ's singing is very unrestrained and smooth, and there are no pauses or stumbles because this is trying to compose a new song.
He just sang the whole song in one go.
Zheng Xiao also wrote down the simple score.
Zheng Xiao was impressed in her heart, and said in her heart: He is worthy of being a legendary singer who is a genius! Score a new song, and sing it in one go.
Moreover, he sang so perfectly that he hardly needed to modify it.
There are probably not many people in the world who can do MJ like this, right?
"Smack, smack, smack!"
Zheng Xiao applauded.
"Mike, great arrangement! Sounds good, I wrote it all down. Zheng Xiao handed the memorized score to MJ.
MJ took it, read it, changed a few details with a pen, and then said to Zheng Xiao with a smile: "I haven't had such a smooth arrangement inspiration for many years, Zheng, it's your lyrics that have brought me a lot of inspiration!" Our first cooperation was very tacit and successful! Come! Celebrate! ā
MJ reached out and slapped his hands with Zheng Xiao.
Next, the two began to discuss the lyrics of the song "Forbidden City" written by MJ.
The lyrics of MJ are written about the vicissitudes of history, and they lament the fleeting prosperity.
It's not impossible to write like this, but I still feel a little vulgar, and the depth of thought is not enough.
Zheng Xiao suggested that if he wanted to write the song "The Forbidden City" well, he must change his perspective and grasp the two points of human nature and desire-hope to unfold and sing.
The supreme imperial power of the prosperous palace fell into the dust of history
The laughter of the beauty of the warbler and the swallow is frozen in the picture, and the beauty has been yellowed by the time lock
The cruel and ruthless conspiracy caused the heads to be cut off by a big knife, and the blood splashed the screen of history
All the struggles, all the struggles, all the bloody stories, all revolve around the expansion of one's desires.
When this desire is allowed to grow, it will give birth to the monster of imperial power, which crushes everything and controls everything, and is the only one in the world!
This song is to be criticized.
Criticize the distortion of human nature.
How critical desire can be whitewashed as a high-sounding feudal shackle and put this shackle around everyone's neck. As a result, there was a person crying, the whole world mourned, and a person was angry, and the whole country was bleeding.
The emperor on the altar pretended to rule the huge empire with a series of foolish policies.
Zheng Xiao and MJ said a lot.
MJ was once again persuaded by Zheng Xiao's point of view, and he asked Zheng Xiao to help him rewrite the lyrics of "The Forbidden City" again.
Zheng Xiao wrote a song according to her own ideas.
The natural lyrics were once again highly appreciated by MJ.
MJ believes that the lyrics of this song are as good as "The Great Wall", and they are just as amazing and admirable.
Good lyrics naturally have exciting ingredients, and the lyrics of "The Forbidden City" made MJ excited again, and he improvised the music again and sang "The Forbidden City" directly.
However, this time the style of the song adopts the style of hard rock, after all, there is a sharp criticism of human nature in this song, and the weight of hard rock will be heavier, and it will also touch the outer hard shell of human nature. (To be continued.) )
