Author's note: I went home today, and I didn't have a code word during the day. But you don't have to worry about making up for it, because tonight is an all-night code.

Dividing line

"How many people have loved your youthful and joyful hours

Admire your beauty, fake or sincere

There is only one person who still loves your pious soul

Love the wrinkles on your old face

……”

Ye Yu's faint and warm singing voice came from the TV, echoing in this small living room, which seemed to be difficult to disperse for a long time.

"Grandpa......" Looking at his grandfather, who was in a somewhat wrong mood, Xu Xiyi called softly.

Hearing this, the old man Xu Yongchang came back to his senses, sighed softly, and said, "Grandpa, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the room first." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xiyi nodded lightly.

As soon as he stood up and walked two steps, the old man Xu Yongchang stopped, took out his mobile phone and handed it to his granddaughter, and said, "When it's time to vote, help me vote for him." ”

Xu Xiyi took the phone and nodded.

The old man Xu Yongchang sighed softly again, slowly walked to his room, and looked at his back, which seemed to be more old and lonely.

After returning to his room and sitting at his desk for a long time, he gently opened a drawer, took out an old yellowed photograph from it, rubbed it gently, and muttered something in his mouth.

……

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is it because you are not feeling well? The family was watching the King Race, and the middle-aged man suddenly asked suspiciously.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "I'm old and my energy is not good, so I'll go back to the room first." You take your time. ”

The man was about to ask something more, but he was screwed hard by his wife.

The middle-aged woman smiled: "Okay, Mom, you can go back to the room first, pay more attention to rest, and take care of your body." ”

The old man nodded.

When the old man returned to the room, the man looked at his wife suspiciously.

And the woman said with some hatred: "It's really not wrong to say that you have low emotional intelligence." Dad passed away just two years ago. Mom obviously remembered Dad after listening to this song just now, are you a fool?! ”

Hearing this, the man suddenly smiled innocently.

The woman sighed and was helpless. Who made himself fall in love with this fool?

……

"When we get old, will we be like this?" On the street, the woman looked up at the big screen on the corner of the street, a little distracted, and asked softly.

The man was stunned. He smiled mildly and said softly, "When you are old, I will sing this song to you." ”

……

"When I'm old, my eyebrows are lowered

The lights are dim

The wind blows your message

This is the song in my heart

When I'm old, I wish I both

This song is sung to you

……”

The last guitar note fell, and after two seconds of silence, thunderous applause rang out.

"Good! Awesome! ”

"Ye Yu, you're so powerful!"

"What a warm, so durable song!"

Listening to the sound from the audience, Ye Yu smiled slightly. He stood up and bowed to the audience in thanks.

The song "When You Are Old" he chose this time is a song composed by Zhao Zhao in his previous life, and the lyrics are adapted from the modern poem "When You Are Old" by the Nobel Prize winner and famous Irish poet Yeats.

In the previous life, this song was sung by Li Jian and Karen Mok, relatively speaking, its original singer, who is also the composer Zhao Zhao, is very famous.

In this regard, Ye Yu was a little emotional. A good work wants to be a complete fire. It takes opportunity and timing. In terms of songs, it is often related to the stage and the singers.

Li Jian covered the song on the stage of "I Am a Singer", while Karen Mok covered the song on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Some people may think that Li Jian and Karen Mok sing better. But this song can suddenly become popular, and no one can deny the role of the stage.

In addition, Zhao Zhao said that this song was written for his mother, and Ye Yu felt that it was really far-fetched.

First of all, Yeats's "When You Are Old" was originally a love poem, and some classic verses you directly adopted. Can it be applied to a child's love for their mother?

Secondly, "How many people have loved your youthful and joyful hours, loved your beauty, false or sincere, and only one person still loves your pious soul and loves the wrinkles on your old face" These lyrics are obviously about love!

Because, the contrast between "how many people" and "only one person" implies another meaning, and I, like everyone else, "love the joyful hours of your youth, love your beauty", but I am different from them in that my heart remains unchanged under the passage of time and the great waves and sands, because in addition to this, I "love your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face".

How can mother's love be described in this way?

Moreover, these few sentences deliberately emphasize the appearance of a woman when she is young and aging, which is obviously about love!

Ye Yu didn't know if Zhao Zhao really wrote it to his mother, or if he said it for other purposes, but he felt that it was far-fetched and unreasonable to say that this song was a child's love for his mother.

Therefore, Ye Yu did not hesitate to launch it as a love song.

……

"Damn, can this guy write anything? ! Improvised, let him sing it? Fack! Fark !! ”

Looking at Li Pengpeng, who was frantically throwing things to vent his anger in his heart, Xia Junxiong didn't dare to speak, and stood aside cautiously.

originally thought that Ye Yu wanted to improvise and sing to death, and he was dying, but within a few minutes, someone slapped him over.

Improvised singing or something, it doesn't bother him at all!

Although this song "When You Are Old" sounds ordinary at first glance, light as water, and nothing special, but if you listen to it carefully, it is unexpectedly warm and touching. In the current impetuous Chinese music scene, this unpretentious song is precious!

Especially its lyrics, which are very well written!

Unlike those lyrics that are piled up by flowery rhetoric, the lyrics of this song are simple and plain, but they use a variety of artistic expressions, just like a modern poem!

For example, "When you are old, your hair is gray, and you are drowsy, and when you are old, you can't walk, and you take a nap by the fire." "Memories of Youth" is an artistic technique of hypothetical imagination, which shows in the minds of the audience a picture of old age, by the gloomy fireplace, reflecting the cheeks of aging lovers.

And "how many people have loved your youthful and joyful hours, and loved your beauty." False or sincere, only one person still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face" is a very obvious contrast.

In addition, in the lyrics, the fire is also a very important image. Take a nap by the fire. It represents the arrival of life's rest moment; The lights are dim and uncertain, suggesting the passing of time and the blurring of memory, setting off a trance-like and melancholy atmosphere; Finally, he mentions the hearth fire, although it is dim, but it still shines, symbolizing that through the long night of life, love will never be extinguished.

And the repeated singing of "love your pious soul, love the wrinkles on your old face" also means that this relationship will not fade with the passage of time, but will last for a long time!

You have adopted so many artistic expressions. Is it really writing lyrics?

You're writing poetry, aren't you?

Xia Junxiong was speechless in his heart, and when he looked at Li Pengpeng, who was crazy, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, because the vase he smashed just now was worth hundreds of thousands!

After smashing things for a while, Li Pengpeng suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Junxiong and said coldly: "Didn't you say that he definitely couldn't write?" ”

I'll go! Didn't you just say that he couldn't write it?

Xia Junxiong complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, but showed an expression of helplessness and self-blame. Then he bowed his head deeply.

Li Pengpeng stared at Xia Junxiong for a while, his face softened slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not your fault." I thought the same thing as you just now. We didn't expect this guy to improvise a new song. ”

Xia Junxiong hurriedly said, "Thank you, chairman." However, Chairman, I have something that I don't know if I should say or not. ”

"Say it." Li Pengpeng waved his hand.

"In my opinion, Ye Yu can't be regarded as improvised to write this song, but he must be counted. That's only half of that! Xia Junxiong's words were astonishing.

"Oh? What do you mean? Li Pengpeng became interested.

"Chairman, when I was in college, in order to pursue my wife, I used to specialize in modern poetry for a period of time, and the lyrics of Ye Yu's song ......" Xia Junxiong analyzed it with Li Pengpeng and concluded, "It's not easy to improvise singing, and it's not easy to write poems on the spot, if the two add up, it's impossible!" Therefore, I guess that Ye Yu may have written a modern poem called "When You Are Old" before, and he just changed the poem slightly this time and composed the music for it. In other words, the lyrics are already there! So, I said that even if he wrote an improvisation, he would only be half of it! ”

Hearing Xia Junxiong's meticulous and reasonable analysis, Li Pengpeng suddenly felt a lot more acceptable in his heart. After all, who would have thought that this guy would actually write a similar poem? And the so-called improvisational song is just composing the music for his poem!

It's despicable!

Li Pengpeng cursed in his heart.

……

The free display time of the eight players is over, and the first game of the 16-8 promotion tournament officially begins.

The first is to draw lots to select opponents.

On the stage, the other seven contestants secretly glanced at Ye Yu, and smiled bitterly in their hearts, God bless, don't draw this guy!

Those classic songs, if the company can give them a song, I am afraid that I will be ecstatic. And even during the king competition, the company will try its best to provide new songs for itself, but there are not many new songs of that level in the whole company!

Besides, the new songs given by the company are only for temporary use, and they may not be published by themselves at that time!

And what about this guy? actually one after another, good songs are taken out as if they don't need money!

In particular, he actually improvised a song just now!

What a god-like opponent!

Ye Yu glanced at it casually, and found that Ji Gaojie, who ranked first in the preliminary round, and Tang Ziqin, the only one who had spoken a few words to him, were not there, and they were both assigned to the second game.

Soon, the lottery ended, and Xue Lezhan of Tianya Entertainment drew Ye Yu.

Suddenly, the others looked at him with pity, and then looked away again.

As the saying goes, dead friends, not dead poor people!

Oh Midha!
