When Ding Shaoyang heard Ye Luo's answer, he seemed to be aware of it, and raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Tianhua smiled: "It's a little interesting, but before that, listen to me first." ”

As he spoke, the stage went dark again.

Chen Tianhua's signing today is two and seventh. The second competition song is his.

Emerging from the depths of the stage are two singers.

Judging from the body shape, one is fat and round, and the other is tall and thin, both of whom are men.

This is like talking about cross talk, Ye Luo is secretly happy in his heart, but he knows in his heart that Chen Tianhua's shot must be extraordinary.

There were a dozen lights on the stage, and the two singers showed their true faces.

Then the reaction of the audience was different from Zhen Zhi's appearance, only polite applause, and the screaming whistle was completely inaudible.

And these ceremonial applause are also for one of the singers, and this person is the king of jazz, Nguyen Sin.

Originally, this singer was basically unknown to anyone, but he had been on the sixth episode before, and this episode was just broadcast last Friday, so the audience at the scene recognized him.

Another tall and thin singer, not to mention that the audience can't recognize it, Ye Luo doesn't know who it is. The eyebrows and eyes are a little like Ruan Xin, but they are much younger, in their early twenties, and they are much taller than Ruan Xin.

"Who's this?" Ding Shaoyang obviously didn't know this young singer either, so he turned his head and asked Chen Tianhua.

"Ruan Ziyu." Chen Tianhua smiled slightly.

"I've heard this name, and the rap is good." Ding Shaoyang said.

"He is also the son of Nguyen Sin." Chen Tianhua added.

"Oh, I see." Ding Shaoyang smiled, "Then this song should be jazz rap, right?" ”

Ye Luo heard it in his ears, and his heart also moved.

Ding Shaoyang's speculation is indeed very reliable. Because of Nguyen Sin. He is the King of Jazz.

Jazz rap, which is now also available in Europe and the United States, is equivalent to combining classical jazz with the most popular rap to make jazz shine again in a popular way.

Who knew that Chen Tianhua shook his head: "No, it's soul rap." ”

"Oh?" Ding Shaoyang nodded. "That's not bad either."

Ye Luo knew in his heart that Ruan Xin was both the king of jazz and the soul singer. He is good at jazz and soul music, and basically no one in China can sing him.

Jazz and soul music are two different types of music, some of which are similar and can be easily confused.

The reason for the similarity is that both evolved from the blues. Jazz, among others, is based on traditional British and American music, with a blend of blues, ragtime (a type of black music) and other musical genres.

Soul music, on the other hand, is the product of the combination of blues, rock and black gospel music.

Stylistically, jazz is more about improvisation and singing, while soul music is less instrumental and occasionally improvised. For example, Amer, the soul singer of Europe and the United States.

Jazz rap and soul rap are actually based on pop rap. And then put in some jazz or soul music elements.

At this time, the two singers on the stage, in Ye Luo's opinion, should have very clear responsibilities, the lead singer of this song is actually Ruan Xin's son, Ruan Ziyu.

And Ruan Xin is actually a backing singer. Singing with a soul, in the middle of the song, as a background, to set off the rap in the foreground.

This technique, Ye Luo does not need to listen. Just thinking about it, I think it's very clever.

Because of the strong contrast between these two kinds of music, the slow and melodious soul, the fast and passionate rap, are presented at the same time, the sense of layering is very rich, and the rhythm and charm can be taken into account.

This Chen Tianhua is really a top master.

The performance effect on the stage, as Ye Luo expected, was Ruan Ziyu who took the lead.

Ruan Ziyu should be regarded as inheriting his father's business, and he is also a professional singer.

But the difference is that Ruan Ziyu loves rap. Ye Luo has heard of his name, because in recent years, there have been several very interesting rap songs on the Internet, and the singer and creator is Ruan Ziyu.

The popularity of this name should still be okay, but no one knows that he turned out to be the son of Ruan Xin.

The father likes jazz and soul music, and the son likes rap music, and the two have very different styles.

Now, in order to fulfill his son, the father is willing to go on stage as a backup singer, and if this is a story-based music program, there will be a lot of things to fry in it.

It's a pity that this is a strict music program, so no one mentions this aspect. No one cares about the story behind it, just look at the table xiàn in the stand.

And the Ruan family's father and son's table on the stage also printed that sentence - fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers.

It's a perfect song. In the rap part, Chen Tianhua uses pure Chinese, which is passionate and generous, with some social criticism.

Then in the high. In the tide part, Nguyen Sin's soul music accompaniment was added, there were no lyrics, just chanting, but it was like the finishing touch.

After this song was sung, the audience's expression was completely different from that of the two fathers and sons, and the response was very enthusiastic. The two singers used their skills to impress everyone at the scene.

"That's good." Ding Shaoyang applauded: "Although the father and son have chosen different musical paths, Ruan Xin's talent and dedication to music have been completely inherited by Ruan Ziyu. ”

"Director Chen's song is also very good." Ye Luo said, "The interweaving, collision, and fusion of soul music and rap music are very exciting.

In terms of the proposition of how the two different styles of music appear, in terms of how the same song appears, this song can be called a textbook. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Luo hesitated.

Chen Tianhua's song, as a pop music, actually has problems, but tonight's theme is rap, so this problem is not strict, Ye Luo thought about it, and still felt that it was okay not to say it.

"Indeed." Yu Zuo said at this time, "As far as my personal technical judgment is concerned, this song should still be on top of Director Ding's song just now." ”

"Old Yu, although I poured you a lot of wine last night." Ding Shaoyang smiled, "But you can't declare a personal vendetta." ”

Yu Zuo shook his head with a smile: "I'm telling you the truth, although the song you just now has a good effect, but there are technical flaws, Director Ye has already said it just now." ”

Yu You also said: "But then again. Director Ding, the problem you encountered in the first song is also a headache for us. My brothers and I have always wanted to do rap music, especially rap rock. However, Chinese is hard in pronunciation, and it can indeed be made, but the effect is not as good as English, and it feels like shouting a drinking order.

We've also tried to solve this problem in Cantonese or Hokkien. But the results are mediocre.

We also analyzed the reasons and found that in addition to the problem of Chinese character pronunciation, we Chinese have a cultural incompatibility with this kind of emotional xù venting rap.

Chinese are more introverted and pay attention to inner cultivation.

Although modern society has opened up a lot, the cultural imprint of thousands of years, deeply rooted in the bone marrow, will still make us aesthetically impressed. affected.

When we listen to English lyrics, we will substitute into the cultural environment of Europe and the United States, so we will feel that this is normal and should be like this. But once we change to Chinese lyrics, such a straightforward way of speaking will make us feel uncomfortable.

Director Chen's song just now is very good overall. But as pop music, it is slightly flawed, and it is in this problem. ”

Ye Luo couldn't help but nodded. This is exactly what the hero sees, Chen Tianhua's song does have this problem, he hesitated for a moment just now and didn't say it.

I only heard Yu You continue: "So how to solve this problem, our two brothers think that we should start from two aspects.

First. The first is to address cultural issues. For European and American rap, we must remove its groove and extract its essence. More optimism, better ideas and feelings. Pure venting rap is not in line with Chinese culture. You might as well remove it.

The second is to solve the pronunciation problem. The pronunciation of Chinese characters is correct and round, as Director Ding said, there is more momentum, but not enough agility, and the rhythm of rap music is difficult to reflect. How to solve this problem is still in the process of exploring.

Belch...... Am I taking too long? ”

Yu You remembered after talking for a while, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"You're right." Ye Luo smiled, "Go on." ”

Ding Shaoyang was also laughing: "It's really good, I can see that you two brothers can't speak, it's not that you don't know how to speak, but you don't want to speak. ”

Yu You smiled shyly and signaled that he was finished.

Chen Tianhua followed with a smile: "Anyway, it's your turn next, it's really good, and the ideas are also very thoughtful, but how well it is done, let's just see the effect." ”

The third competition song in this game is the double ghost.

The first song of the two ghosts today made Ye Luo a little surprised.

The idea of this song is very good, it sings about the modern changes of Hong Kong Island, from being occupied by the British to returning to the motherland. A lot of events are sung in, the accompaniment is rhythmic Briss, and the taste of R&B is very strong.

And in the lyrics, the approach they take is one word: quick!

The lyrics are very dense, and the singer's speech speed on the stage, although there are variations of fast and slow, is extremely fast overall.

And this singer is also a well-known "nozzle DJ" on Taiwan Island, Ren Jiayou, who was born with a fast mouth.

This kind of dense lyrics, as a new song, is actually not very favorable. There is no singing degree in itself, and the audience's ears can't keep up with the singer's mouth, so it is inevitable to discount Cheng dù in accepting Cheng dù.

But fast has the advantage of being fast, once you speak fast, the transition of biting words will be more hasty, which is also on a certain course, alleviating the problem of insufficient agility in Chinese rap.

Therefore, the overall feeling of this song, Ye Luo thinks it is very good, very pleasing to the ear, follow the lyrics of the song all the way, and listen to it before you know it.

This attempt by the two ghosts is their understanding and attempt of the future path of Chinese rap.

Although this song has highlights and slightly flaws with the previous songs of Ding Shaoyang and Chen Tianhua, the consciousness has arrived, the direction is right, and what they lack is just an opportunity.

Maybe give them another year and a half, and they will be able to get out of this road very smoothly.

In another world, how pop rap music is accepted by the public in China and how to solve these technical difficulties, someone has already given the answer.

And this answer is in Ye Luo's mind, and it is about to appear on today's stage. (To be continued......)
