Chapter 288: Literary Youth
The first song of Ye Luo's main song this week is "Cloudy Sky" sung by Qin Shiyue.
As soon as the prelude came out, Ding Shaoyang raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face was as if when he ate the soup dumplings, he bit the skin and tasted the soup inside, which tasted good.
The fine and melodious piano, the electronic drum with the sound of the tambourine, the whole intro is very special, with jazz charm and the taste of Central and South Asian folk songs, but it is not strong.
After a brief prelude, Qin Shiyue's singing voice sounded.
"It's cloudy, in a room where the lights aren't on, when all thoughts settle little by little.
Love, whether it is spiritual opium, or a boring pastime at the beginning of the century.
Cigarettes, in a puddle of aperture, and his picture is at hand.
Silly two people, how sweet they laugh.
β¦β¦β
Ding Shaoyang listened to all the songs of Ye Luo before, and they all had the demeanor and mentality of a senior master.
On the one hand, he really appreciates Ye Luo's musical talent, on the other hand, he also has his own pride, even if Ye Luo's songs, he Ding Shaoyang can't write them, but Ding Shaoyang's own style, Ye Luo can't imitate it.
This is also the most critical reason why, up to now, although Ding Shaoyang has been defeated again and again in the main line song, he can still barely compete with Ye Luo. Ding Shaoyang has his own characteristics, and under the strong impact of Ye Luo's music, Ding Shaoyang's music still has a market and can stand.
With this pride and heritage, Ding Shaoyang can not be arrogant or impatient and calm when facing all of Ye Luo's new songs.
But today, when the leaves fall in the zone. When the progress bar of "Cloudy Day" in the player became longer and longer, when the lyrics and tunes of the song were revealed in Ding Shaoyang's eyes and ears little by little, Ding Shaoyang's former freedom gradually faded from his face, and was replaced by a sinking face.
The cigar smoke was sandwiched between his fingers, and the ash was getting thicker and thicker, crumbling, but Ding Shaoyang never took another puff.
Until "Cloudy Day" is all over. Ding Shaoyang snuffed out the cigar. His expression was solemn and he didn't say a word.
Li Yiming was also silent.
This song, at first glance, sounds a little flat. There's no treble. It is a mixture of folk and jazz to form pop music. But the taste in this song is extremely strong.
And this is also Ding Shaoyang's best style. Even the lyrics of this song are Ding Shaoyang's consistent style.
Ye Luo's love song not only looks like Ding Shaoyang, but also seems to be slightly better. In particular, the delicate and well-placed description of the lyrics, and the maturity and sophistication of the mentality, made Ding Shaoyang and Li Yiming shudder.
This kind of song, the requirements for talent, not to mention for the time being, just emotional experience and mentality, must be a person from the age of thirty-five to be able to have. And Ye Luo is twenty-one years old this year.
After listening to this song, the pride in Ding Shaoyang's heart was gone.
A while ago, when the song "Moonlight Serenade" came out, Ding Shaoyang was secretly refreshed in his heart, but now, he suddenly began to sympathize with the music ghosts. Because of the music style he is best at, the taste of being beaten by Ye Luo, he is also tasting it at the moment.
A few minutes later, Ding Shaoyang came back to his senses a little and muttered, "It's really a monster." β
Li Yiming nodded heavily, obviously agreeing with his master's statement.
At this time, Ding Shaoyang looked around and found that so many cameras were staring, and he felt that his watch just now was slightly out of shape, so he smiled and said, "Ye Luo's song is really beautiful." β
"But the two episodes of this week's love war are also good. The style of the three songs is similar, and it is impossible to talk about who is good and who is bad. Li Yiming immediately said: "The key is to see how Ye Luo's next song is, this one alone is not enough to decide the outcome of the game." β
"Don't take victory or defeat too seriously." Ding Shaoyang reminded his apprentice, and then said, "Listen to the next one." β
Li Yiming answered and clicked on Ye Luo's second song.
This song is sung by Lou Jun, which is also the title song of Lou Jun's first solo album.
The prelude is a rondo-like piano, four short melodies in a row, the melody is tactful and low, but also very close, as if it is wandering in place.
As soon as this prelude comes out, the style of the piece can be seen from the small to the big, which is reflected as a kind of emotional dilemma. Although this method is too obscure for ordinary music fans, a musician of Ding Shaoyang's level is still known at first sight.
Writing songs to the level of Ding Shaoyang, the pursuit of the effect of the song is not just good. They will use the language of music, and in the structure of the song, they have higher requirements and, sometimes, some personal imprints.
Not only the vocal melody and lyrics, but also the selection of each instrument in the accompaniment, and the compilation of the melody of the accompanying instrument, are all expressions of musicians.
Some musicians' expressions are just good for ordinary music fans, but real insiders will be amazed when they sound it.
The prelude to Ye Luo's song, Ding Shaoyang understood it, and then he faintly felt bad in his heart.
This song, Ye Luo handled it so delicately and rigorously, this round of extraordinary, this kid is going against the sky.
Soon, accompanied by electronic drums, Lou Jun's soft and glutinous voice began to sound in the recording studio.
"A lonely lamp stood at the window, and I pretended you weren't gone behind the door.
The old land is more lonely like revisiting the full moon, and the candle flame that wakes up in the middle of the night can't bear to criticize me.
A pot of wandering wandering is difficult to enter the throat, and after you leave, the wine is warm and reminiscent of thinness.
How to steal time when the water flows eastward, and the flowers will ripen once they bloom, but I miss it.
β¦β¦β
Ding Shaoyang listens to Ye Luo's songs, except for the time when he listens to "Half a Moon Serenade", he generally doesn't read the lyrics. But as soon as the first lyrics of this song came out, Ding Shaoyang immediately stretched out his hand and turned the laptop computer in front of Li Yiming to his eyes.
Because of the lyrics of this song, Ding Shaoyang feels very special, the language is simple and peculiar, just listening, you may miss the excitement.
After listening to the main song, Ding Shaoyang was already greatly moved.
There are countless ways to express sorrow with music. But Ye Luo's this, constantly using rondo style, coupled with timeless and simple lyrics, renders the word "sorrow" so thickly and colorfully, so rich that the power penetrates the back of the paper and the Cheng dΓΉ that comes to his face, Ding Shaoyang asked himself if he could do it.
I don't know if Ye Luo is intentional or unintentional. In the first song "Cloudy Day", Ye Luo is equivalent to saying to Ding Shaoyang, you will, in fact, I will too.
Then this song "East Wind Breaks", Ye Luo is saying, I will, you won't.
Ding Shaoyang was free and easy, although he was depressed just now, but now he also saw it, just smiled wryly and didn't say anything.
And immediately, as soon as the main song passed, the piano, which had been hanging far away before the chorus, was suddenly replaced by a pipa.
A few days ago, Ding Shaoyang was just at Ye Luo's house and played pipa music on the spot. Pipa, Ding Shaoyang is the descendant of the authentic northern pipa and a master among the masters. He didn't expect that so soon, Ye Luo would use the pipa in the song. Not only did it be used, but it also made the pipa the finishing touch of the song.
After "East Wind Breaking" was played, Ding Shaoyang sighed: "Ye Luo, this kid, Fanwai Song, these two songs come out, whoever comes will give it for nothing." Especially this song "East Wind Breaks", even if Yan Wuji returns to the top, it is estimated that he will not be able to write it. β
"The lyrics of this song are too strong." Li Yiming sighed, "Writing lyrics, I don't think I'm bad at asking myself, after listening to this song, I suddenly feel as if I can't write lyrics." There are some sentences in this poem, which cannot be analyzed grammatically, but the feeling of listening to it is not very relevant. The blend of ancient poetry and modern grammar is stunning.
With this poem alone, Ye Luo is enough to be compared with the two major domestic writers, Fang Wenhai and Lin Yang. β
"The lyrics of a cloudy day also have this level." Ding Shaoyang said, "The lyrics and styles of these two songs are completely different, but the subtle Cheng dΓΉ is almost the same. I used to listen to Ye Luo's songs, and the lyrics were sometimes not very exquisite. But today, it seems that his kind of unrefined is also intentional, for the sake of easy understanding. You see, once he pays attention to him, no one can pay attention to him. β
Speaking of this, Ding Shaoyang glanced at the cameraman next to him and said, "Okay, the above paragraph, pinch it off, I didn't say it." β
"Naturally, I'll pinch." The on-site director nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "By the way, Mentor Ding, "Dongfeng Po", this song title is very strange, I am personally a little curious, can you help me solve my doubts?" β
Ding Shaoyang glanced at the director of the scene. If the students asked him this question, he would slap the table and curse, because this question should be known to students from serious conservatories. It's just that this on-site director is not in this profession, and it's normal to not know.
Ding Shaoyang then turned on the professor mode of the Conservatory of Music, and patiently explained: "The east wind is broken, one is broken, and the other is broken." What is the east wind, let's put it aside for now. What is broken, broken is broken. Of course, the breaking here is not breaking the east wind, if that's the case, this song is about martial arts, splitting empty palms. β
Speaking of this, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
Ding Shaoyang continued: "Break it, it's the song that breaks. The scientific name is Qu Po, which refers to the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties in China, when the big song was broken, one of the passages was used to compile it into a song and dance, and then performed live, most of which were in tune without words.
So from the grammatical point of view, "Dongfeng Breaking" and "Dongfeng Breaking" are ancient songs, and "Dongfeng Breaking" is one of the tunes, which is now filled with new words by Ye Luo and reinterpreted.
According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Shi, the sage of words, once made the famous song "East Wind", but this song has now been lost. So the melody of Ye Luo's song is a paragraph in "East Wind", there is no way to verify.
But whether it is a tribute or inheritance, in short, this "East Wind Breaking", as a popular song, with this kind of song title, it shows that our Ye Luo mentor is also a literary and artistic youth. (To be continued......)
