Chapter 350: Inverted Rap
In the tenth episode of the recording of original good songs, the first three songs were completed, and the atmosphere at the scene was very high.
Ding Shaoyang guided the topic before Ye Luo's new song began to compete: "Today's competition may be the most academic of all the music program recording processes at present.
Each of our mentors has temporarily put aside the victory and defeat, but is showing his exploratory results for the topic of how to make rap popular in China.
No one has a standard answer, and tonight, eight competing songs may be eight very different reference answers.
And to measure these answers, which is closer to the truth. This criterion is very clear.
That's eight songs, which song is more popular with everyone, and which song has the most votes.
The music itself cannot be compared, but the popularity of Cheng dΓΉ is supported by a number of jΓΉ, which is the most straightforward way.
In the end, the results of the mentors' exploration come down to the winners and losers of the mentors.
It is precisely because of this that the 500 audience judges here tonight, the results of your votes will have a heavy meaning. β
Ding Shaoyang said a long sentence, Ye Luo nodded while listening, and felt that although Lao Ding's words and deeds in private were a little uninhibited, when it came to a formal occasion, he pretended to be a high-ranking person, and he also looked like him.
Ye Luo was nodding his head here, but he didn't expect Ding Shaoyang next to him to suddenly change his words, pointed at Ye Luo and said: "So, you don't have to favor Director Ye because he is handsome, young and golden, popular, and a local fighter." Don't be subjective, we try to be as objective as possible in evaluating all eight of the songs in tonight's competition.
Tonight, we recognize the song but not the person. Do you think it's good? β
Ye Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly, Ding Shaoyang had been laying the groundwork for a long time, looking like he knew the righteousness. In the end, it was to limit himself.
"Good!" Someone in the audience responded, followed by applause.
Chen Tianhua said: "Director Ding is right.
Although Director Ding advocated at the beginning of the show that everyone should not use tonight's episode to frame the development path of rap music in China.
But we also have to be realistic to see that after gathering so many top domestic musicians. The results of our exploration may indeed affect Chinese rap music, so the voting options in everyone's hands tonight will be a little heavier than in the past.
But don't be stressed. With your ears, with your heart, listen and feel the eight new songs we have for you tonight, and then choose the three that you think are the best, and that's it. β
Yu Zuo smiled at this time: "The two of you look worried about the country and the people are really awe-inspiring. But I think. The audience will naturally have their own neutral and objective understanding, which does not need to be reminded too much. Let's not talk about it, I'd love to hear Director Ye's new song now. β
Yu You also said: "Yes, Director Ye just said that he found a way, and we want to see what the solution is." β
β¦β¦
Niu Xueyi got up very early this morning, not to go to school, but to go to Shangdu TV as a member of the expert jury. Participate in the live recording of original good songs.
The significance of the so-called expert hearing in the program. Actually, it's soy sauce. There is nothing too important for them to do, and the camera is given very little.
Niu Xueyi's main task is to comment on each song one by one after listening to the show, and then the program team will insert it into the program according to the effect of the review. As a supplement to the comments of the live tutors.
Niu Xueyi's attainments in pop music are extremely high, and he is actually not inferior to Ding Shaoyang, Chen Tianhua, and Shuanggui. People like this kind of person with a high vision and a straight temperament are commenting. They don't say much good things.
Some things that are advantages or highlights in the eyes of other musicians are common in Niu Xueyi's eyes, and they should be scolded if they are done, and they should be scolded if they can't be done.
So although Niu Xueyi has been here for several episodes, and his comments are also penetrating, when it was officially broadcast, he was all pinched off by the director team, and he never showed up at all.
The tenth issue of the original good song recording, Niu Xueyi also came, sitting not far behind Ye Luo, in the first row of the audience.
Rap music, as one of the mainstream of international pop music, is relatively cold in China. As a university professor, Niu Xueyi has his own academic opinions.
Niu Xueyi's research is more systematic, but overall, it is similar to what the two ghosts summarized before.
And what goes a step further than the twin ghosts is that Niu Xueyi proposed a complete solution. And last year, I sued Ye Luo for this plan.
But at the same time as teaching, Niu Xueyi also said: "This kind of plan may cause great controversy. I believe that other top musicians in China are not unaware of this, but they just don't dare to think about it, it's too risky. This is too much conflict with the traditional Chinese way of singing.
So I'll just say it, you can listen to it, I don't recommend that you adopt it......"
Before the fourth competition song debuted, Niu Xueyi looked at Ye Luo's figure on the mentor's stage, and looked a little worried.
Niu Xueyi listened to the conversation between the mentors before, and he knew that Ye Luo was going to adopt that plan.
He suddenly regretted it a little, and told Ye Luo about this method, because it was possible to make Ye Luo's newly rising music road suffer a huge setback.
But at this moment, it is already ready to be sent and has to be sent. Even if he Niu Xueyi shouts to stop now, even if Ye Luo listens to him, the program team will not do it.
"Still too young." Niu Xueyi muttered softly, "I thought he had a stable temperament, but I didn't expect him to be reckless." Anyone wants to get it, but it's too risky! β
At the same time as Niu Xueyi was muttering, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed.
Ye Luo's first competition song is about to appear.
The audience fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone wanted to see what kind of answer Ye Luo would write on this exam paper.
There is no blue floor lamp lit up, and there is no effect of a singer coming from a distance.
Then, in the midst of darkness, a prelude with the smell of metal rock sounds.
From a simple electric guitar strumming, to the addition of a drum kit and then an electronic drum with a subwoofer. This prelude is impregnated layer by layer, step by step. It was as if the audience's emotions were lifted step by step, and it took nearly thirty seconds for the audience to complete the transformation process from silence to burning.
At the same time as the 30-second prelude, the stage lights were slowly brightened up as the music progressed.
Lou Jun. This seventeen-year-old boy is not afraid on the stage, facing the lights and the eyes of thousands of people on the field.
It's not that he's naturally bold, it's a stage of this magnitude that he faces almost every night.
After Rob's bar was renovated, the stage was about the same size as this studio, and Lou Jun went to perform every day for a few months. His stage style has long been in its own right.
I saw Lou Jun raising his head, beating at his feet, and his fingers were playing with the microphone.
At this point, the microphone flips between his fingers, which is very smooth and effortless, and it looks cool.
Students should be able to see that this is a variant of turning the pen, but Lou Jun is born with a pair of big hands. The microphone appeared small in his hand.
A set of hand-to-microphone was completed, exactly after the end of the thirty-second prelude. Lou Jun quickly brought the microphone to his lips and started rapping.
"The smell of smoke is permeated by the Iwayaki shop, and next door is the Kokushu Museum.
Mama-san in the shop, there are three stages of tea ceremony.
The boss who teaches fist and foot martial arts, practices iron sand palms, and plays the Yang family gun.
Hard foundation kung fu is the best. There will also be a golden bell cover iron cloth shirt.
I am used to their son, and I have been exposed to it since he was a child.
What kind of knives, guns and sticks, I play them all like that.
What weapon is favorite, nunchucks are soft and strip steel.
I want to go to Songshan, Henan Province and learn Shaolin and Wudang.
β¦β¦β
Song Title: "Nunchuck"
Lou Jun leaned back beside him. There was a beautiful pianist sitting, and if you looked closely, it was Yu Yiyi.
Yu Yiyi was dressed in a cheongsam and had an erhu on her knees. After the end of the second verse, Yu Yiyi began to play the erhu.
The audience at the scene was stunned.
Because the lyrics of this song go very fast, and Lou Jun raps by inverting words, the pronunciation of the words is not correct, so even if there are lyric prompts on both sides of the stage at this time, everyone can't keep up.
But slowly, everyone's emotions were mobilized by the music.
Wait until the second chorus together, Yu Yiyi's erhu melody is used as the background, lined with Lou Jun's rap. The audience couldn't sit still.
Niu Xueyi sat in the front row, looking at Ye Luo's calm back on the mentor's platform, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Although it is inevitable that this kind of expression will be debated in this way, in terms of the overall effect of this song, it should be able to break through the resistance and gain the recognition of most music fans.
This is the charm of the quality of the song, everything else is fake, and good sound is king.
Unconsciously, this proud disciple of his own has already walked ahead of himself on the road of music.
After the stage, a gong sounded, ending the song, and also pulling Niu Xueyi's mind back to the scene from his embarrassment.
The screams of applause that rang out around him were deafening.
Niu Xueyi stood up for the first time in this show and began to applaud.
"Good job, boy!" Niu Xueyi applauded and shouted loudly to Ye Luo.
Under the loud noise, Ye Luo still heard the call of the master behind him, because this voice was too familiar to him.
Ye Luo turned around, also stood up, and bowed deeply to Niu Xueyi.
After integrating another Ye Luo's memory, Ye Luo knew that Niu Xueyi's plan was actually completely feasible.
Singing inverted characters has been a taboo in Chinese singing standards since ancient times.
The so-called inverted words, the earliest refers to the singing of the opera, without distinguishing the sharp group sound and misreading. Until now, it means that the lyrics of the song are not pronounced correctly. Singing without inverting words has always been the most basic standard for Chinese singers to sing.
And rap, because there is a speaking part, in terms of reading the sound, the requirements are actually higher than singing. Singing can be done without distinction, but speaking is not possible, the four tones of Chinese characters: Yin Ping, Yang Ping, Shang Sheng, and Go Sheng, must be taken into account.
This leads to the current popular rap in China, which is difficult to arrange, has a single presentation form, and lacks musicality.
Niu Xueyi's plan is to break the pronunciation standard of Chinese characters, crush them, and completely transform them into musical language to embody them.
Of course, this is a kind of adventure, Niu Xueyi dared to think and speak, but he didn't do it, because he was just a teacher and couldn't make it. Other musicians in China may dare to think about it, but they dare not say it, let alone do it.
But in another world, this taboo has long been broken. It turns out that the inverted rap, the effect is very good.
This song "Nunchuck" is the answer given by Ye Luo. (To be continued......)
