Chapter Eighty-Seven: Carry It Forward

"Song Yan's "Spring Snow in the South of the Yangtze River" has been completed. We can already see from the enthusiastic response from the audience that she was so good in the first round tonight. Ou Ning said.

"However, to be finally convinced of the success of her song tonight, we must ask our three professional judges to score her performance in this round."

"Sister Mai, or will you come first?"

"Wow!" Merina couldn't wait to speak, "Song Yan is really beautiful. The feeling that this song gives me is beauty. The beauty of the people, the beauty of the set, the beauty of the singing, every detail of her on the stage intoxicated me.

If I were a boy, I would definitely go crazy after her. I am not familiar with the singing of her main song and chorus, but I am amazed by the effect of singing.

I finally know now that Chinese pop music can have so many Chinese elements, and China's 5,000-year-old splendid culture is like an inexhaustible treasure trove of pop music, which makes me envious. ”

"Sister Mai, please give points."

"94 points."

"Okay, Sister Deng, it's up to you."

Deng Qi smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to chant a poem: "I was not born when you were born, and I am old when I was born." You hate me for being late, and I hate you for being early. I believe everyone knows the origin of this song. The genius of Saibei, the beauty of Jiangnan, has no fate, poignant and heartbroken. ”

Speaking of this, Deng Qi's words changed: "But the artistic conception of this song itself is not poignant, but optimistic and thriving." In the snow-capped Jiangnan water town, the hope of spring is bred.

The singing of this song, Song Yan's handling was very successful.

In this song, she mainly uses popular singing, but the main song adds the end note of the opera, the chorus, and the national singing method. These two kinds of grafting or compatibility are actually very difficult, and Song Yan has done it impeccably.

What's even more rare is that while singing, she can also take care of the entire stage.

Her posture, her gesture of holding the umbrella, the position of the umbrella, and her gaze are actually changing all the time, blending seamlessly into the background. Her song is like a picture scroll, slowly opening in front of us, with distinct layers and beautiful colors. ”

"Sister Deng's evaluation is very high, so what is the specific score?"

"95 points." Deng Qi said.

"Wow, another 95, this is the second 95 of the day. Mr. Yan, what do you think? ”

The camera gave Yan Wuji a close-up of his face, and then the national audience found that Yan Wuji was actually laughing.

"Lord Yama smiled? Am I dazzled. Zu Shaoyuan, who was beside Ye Luo, rubbed his eyes, as if he didn't quite believe the scene he saw.

On the stage, Yan Wuji said with a smile: "The adaptation of an ancient song that has been handed down for generations is difficult because of people's deep-rooted impressions. Song Yan's "Spring Snow in the South of the Yangtze River" is undoubtedly a subversion of tradition, and there is an element of adventure here. But I personally believe that if the tradition is good, it should not only be inherited, but also carried forward.

The so-called inheritance is to copy it as it is, so to carry it forward, it is necessary to make some changes according to the new environment, so that it is easier for people to accept it today. The adaptation of this song, in my opinion, is a kind of development of traditional ancient songs.

"Spring Snow in Jiangnan", which is available in school texts, as long as you have been to school, you know this song.

But now no one sings this song in karaoke, why? Because the whole song is 8 minutes and 43 seconds, only accompanied by the guzheng, no matter how beautiful the melody is, it also seems monotonous, of course young people don't like it. This is the disconnect between tradition and reality.

Then the adaptation of Song Yan's song has great significance.

The most important thing about a song is not whether it is included in the text, but the degree of folk singing, which is where the vitality of a song lies. "Tianshan Snow Lotus" and "Spring Snow in the South of the Yangtze River" can span thousands of years and are familiar to us, relying on the degree of singing. But today, the popularity of these two songs is declining, which requires us musicians to make changes if we want to inherit the ancient Chinese songs.

So tonight's "Spring Snow in Jiangnan" is undoubtedly a success. I would like to thank this arranger, who has given a thousand-year-old song a new lease of life. Therefore, Song Yan's score will break through my 90-point cover standard.

Yan Wuji said this, paused, and Ou Ning immediately received: "Teacher Yan, please give points!" ”

"I'm not done yet." Yan Wuji glanced at Ou Ning lightly.

Ou Ning broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Then you continue." ”

Yan Wuji continued: "If you look at it from the professional perspective of the adaptation. The song has been changed very well, but there are still minor flaws. may be because of the limitation of the singer's singing time on stage, so that the two parts of the main song and the chorus of this song and the transition part are slightly hasty, which makes Song Yan's two completely different singing voices too close, and the integrity is somewhat lacking.

This problem is easy to solve, there are two solutions: first, the transition accompaniment is lengthened by another twenty seconds, and second, Song Yan's chorus, a gradual change in the singing tone, I believe that with Song Yan's singing skills, there is no big problem. ”

Yan Wuji's words made Ye Luo next door nod more than once.

This paragraph is to the point, not only to the point, but also to propose a solution.

It's an old-timer, and the experience is too rich!

After all, it's not those melodies of the other world in my mind, and the adaptation of Ye Luo's song is completely based on my own arranging skills.

If Chu Moer's performance plan has the addition of songs from another world, then for Song Yan's guidance, Ye Luo is completely relying on his own musical literacy.

After appreciating the beautiful melodies of another world, Ye Luo's musical literacy is indeed improving rapidly, but if he wants to be perfect, it is impossible for Ye Luo to think about it himself, so he can only do his best.

"So, what is Mr. Yan's final score?" Ou Ning asked.

"92 points." Yan Wuji said.

"Okay, the average score of the professional judges is 93.67 points, let's take a look at the scores given by the public judges, please raise your card."

"This time, the Volkswagen judges gave a high score of 91 points!"

"Song Yan's final score, 184.67 points! With a slight advantage of 0.34 points, she surpassed Xiao Qiong and is currently ranked first! ”

This result made Ye Luo breathe a sigh of relief, this time, Chu Mo'er was not worried at all, what he was worried about was Song Yan, for fear that he would make a big mistake and pit others, but fortunately, the final result is not bad so far.

"Next up is Lingnan's music elf Yu Yiyi, who will continue to bring her original songs tonight."

"We applaud, please!"

In the room, Zu Shaoyuan asked, "Yu Yiyi's original tonight, what is the theme?" ”

Yu Yiyi's music director shrugged: "It's the same old look, bitter." ”

"Isn't it? Isn't the effect of singing bitterness in the last round bad? This girl doesn't know how to go the other way? Zu Shaoyuan was puzzled.

"Hey. You don't know, I'm nominally a music director now, but I can't get my hands on Yu Yiyi's songs at all. This kid writes and sings songs on his shoulders, and has more small ideas than anyone else, so I can only give some opinions on the overall effect, and then she may not necessarily adopt it. ”

"The little girl is a little arrogant."

"She's really confident, but I can't deny that she does have the capital to be confident. Later, I also figured it out and simply let her play freely. ”

"How about her original song tonight?" Zu Shaoyuan asked.

"It's better than the last "Lonely Boat"."

Accompanied by the words of these people around Ye Luo, on the stage, Yu Yiyi appeared on the stage holding a guitar.
