The day after the sponsored ad auction, Zheng Xiao and MJ met in the hotel room where he was staying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because the concert was already urgent, and there was less than a month left, it was imperative to finalize MJ's new song.

MJ has written a total of three new songs for his China concert this time.

There are so many new songs to prepare for a concert, which has never been seen in MJ's previous concerts.

The names of these three songs are: "The Great Wall", "The Forbidden City", and "Among Heaven and Earth".

"Zheng, you can help me see if my lyrics are not written properly, if you can help me point it out, then thank you so much." MJ took out the three songs he had composed and handed them to Zheng Xiao, and said very sincerely.

"Okay, Mike, I'll tell you when I'm done, okay?" Zheng Xiao said as he took the paper containing the three songs into his hand.

"Thank you!" MJ nodded in acknowledgement.

"Mike, that's so kind."

Zheng Xiao said and began to look at these three works of MJ.

These three songs are naturally written in English, the sentences are concise and powerful, the rhythm is brisk, the melody is simple, and it is catchy, try to hum it, it feels great.

All three songs are in the style of slow rock.

The so-called slow rock, also called soft rock, is the opposite of hard rock. Slow rock refers to the kind of songs that inherit the framework of the work of rock singers and creators, but soften the boundaries of rock music's tough style.

When creating these three songs, MJ tried to break free from the shackles of cultural history and extend its tentacles to the philosophical proposition of thinking about the development of human destiny and civilization.

Taking his song "The Great Wall" as an example, in his lyrics, he wants to reflect on the pros and cons of the Great Wall to the Chinese nation, what are the benefits of building the Great Wall to the country, and what are the disadvantages? He tried to elaborate on this issue, but unfortunately, he did not know enough about Chinese history and culture, so his reflection was superficial and a little shallow.

Similarly, both the songs "The Forbidden City" and "Among the Heaven and Earth" have the same problem.

In the process of Zheng Xiao watching the song, MJ sat there quietly, crossed his hands, put them on his lap, his lips were tightened, and his eyes were staring at Zheng Xiao, he was a little nervous.

Zheng Xiao finished reading the three works, looked up and smiled at MJ: "Mike, the song is very well written, I tried to hum it, the melody is very beautiful and passionate, very energetic, very good three slow rock!" I really like it! ”

Zheng Xiao gave MJ a thumbs up as a token of appreciation.

"Zheng, I know that my works still have a lot of shortcomings, don't lie to me, just tell me, let me modify them well to make them look more perfect." MJ shook his head and said, "I know, you must have a lot of ideas of your own. ”

"Yes, these three songs have a slight flaw, which is mainly caused by cultural and historical barriers, Mike, what do you think Qin Shi Huang's purpose in building the Great Wall was?" Zheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, the purpose is to resist the invasion of the northern nomadic Xiongnu, after the Great Wall was repaired, the Xiongnu cavalry could not drive straight from the north to attack the Central Plains, which well protected the people in the Central Plains, protected the agricultural civilization, so, it is a wall of peace, is a wall built for peace." MJ thought about it carefully and said his opinion.

"That's right! Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, the purpose is to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, in fact, from the beginning of the Warring States period in China, the northern Zhao, Yan, Wei and other countries have begun to build the Great Wall in the northern adjacent area of their own borders, the Great Wall of Qin is just to connect the Great Wall of several other countries, forming the Great Wall of Qin that stretches for thousands of miles. However, since the Great Wall was repaired, in the course of more than 1,000 years of historical development, this long wall has been destroyed many times, and then it has been rebuilt again and again. ”

"But, Mike, you know what? In fact, this wall cannot really resist the invasion of foreign iron hooves, and it is only an unrealistic ideal to use a wall to defend the huge mainland of China. When a nation wants to try to defend itself in a strategic defensive posture, she will find that her defense is full of holes and cannot be prevented at all! ”

Zheng Xiao smiled and expressed her opinion.

"I know that in the history of China, there have been countless large-scale invasions by northern nomads, and there have even been many times when northern nomads crossed the Great Wall, invaded the Central Plains, destroyed the Han dynasty, established a foreign dynasty, and humiliated the Han people. But, Zheng, I think this kind of thing often happens when the end of a dynasty has completely decayed and declined, and the Great Wall still plays a considerable role in defending against foreign aggression. From the construction of the Great Wall, we can also find that the Han people are true pacifists, they do not want endless wars, they just want to keep the enemy with bad intentions out of the Great Wall, and then let their dynasty and people enjoy eternal peace. MJ made his point.

Since ancient times, the Han nation has not been an enterprising and aggressive nation. On the one hand, it can be said that this is peace-loving, and on the other hand, it can also be said that it is a lack of enterprising spirit and a strong ideology of moderation.

There is something unique about this idea.

This view is also the core idea of the poem "The Great Wall" written by him.

Through this song, MJ celebrates the peace-loving and war-hating Han nation.

He believes that if all other nations in the world love peace as the Han people, then the world will be a much better place.

This idea is still more of a theme.

However, when this idea is put into this song, it makes the song seem not high-style, and it is a bit inferior.

"Mike, what I want to say is that it is this long wall that is put into the long history to evaluate merit and demerits, and it is this long wall that is bad!" Zheng Xiao said in a surprising voice.

"What? Why do you have such thoughts? MJ was surprised.

The Great Wall is the pride of the Chinese nation and the eighth wonder, shouldn't every Chinese be proud when talking about the Great Wall?

How could Zheng Xiao criticize the Great Wall and think that this wall has broken the great things of the Chinese nation?

This idea seems very unusual among the Chinese.

This can't help but make MJ wonder.

"I'll break it down for you."

Zheng Xiao smiled and opened his mouth, "The feudal dynasties of China have adopted a hostile attitude towards foreign races, and they believe that those who are not of our race will have different hearts!" Therefore, they did not want to come into contact with those northern nomads, did not want to communicate and trade with them, they wanted to isolate those foreign races from the Central Plains, and let them fend for themselves outside the desolate and impoverished fortress. ”
