Chapter 351: Mother and Son
Ye Luo's first competition song was completed, and what was presented on the spot was a shocking and even sensational effect.
The applause lasted for a long time, and there were screams.
"Ye Luo, I'm going to give you a baby!!" There was a female fan shouting in the back, her voice was sharp and clear.
"Ye Dashen, I will also give you a child!" A man's voice rang out.
Ye Luo had goosebumps all over his body, turned his head and said with a bitter face: "You are also judges, so it's not appropriate." ”
"Director, the two audience judges just now, I asked that their voting rights be canceled." Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "This is obviously a fan of Director Ye, and he actually broke into the interior of our judges." ”
"These two are not audience judges." The director smiled, "It's our staff." ”
"Oh, that's pretty much it. Then you just go with Ye Luosheng, it's okay, Chu Mo'er's side, I will persuade you. Ding Shaoyang made a joke, "As for the gay man, this difficulty is indeed a bit big, but I believe you will succeed." ”
When the audience's applause and laughter calmed down, Ding Shaoyang began to formally guide the topic: "So what do you think of Director Ye's new song just now, Director Chen, you come first." ”
Chen Tianhua bowed his head slightly and said: "The arrangement of this song uses so many musical elements that it is dizzying.
The rock instruments are all in it, as well as the instruments of Chinese opera, and there is even a piano solo in the middle. So many musical elements are integrated into a rap song, and there are many but not chaotic, so that the effect of the whole song is both dynamic and gorgeous.
In terms of arranging skills, Director Ye's song. It is enough to prove that he is a top master in the current Chinese pop music scene.
But our topic today is the road. How should Chinese rap go. Director Ye's song adopts a very bold approach, which can be said to be a different way. The pronunciation of Chinese characters. He broke it all.
To be honest, this method, several of our other mentors, dare not think but do it. After the broadcast of this episode, Director Ye's song is bound to cause a discussion in the music circle.
But what I want to say is that when we rap the road to music, the narrower and narrower it is, when we are a few. The tutor, who is known as the strongest musician in China, racked his brains for today's exam question, and even struggled slightly. Perhaps, this is the time when it is time to break and stand up.
Director Ye's new song today has bold technical means, gorgeous song effects, and a strong will, which I personally appreciate very much. ”
After Chen Tianhua finished speaking, he began to applaud.
The audience also burst into applause. Ye Luo was also applauding.
Chen Tianhua's words have a sense of love and support for Ye Luo. Ye Luo is naturally comprehended.
Yu Zuo also said at this time: "In fact, the show has been going on so far, after Director Ye got off the stage, the champion of the field has already been the king. Our other mentors, if we can grab a championship in his hands, it would be better, and if we can't, forget it. The skills are not as good as people, and there is nothing to say.
Today's exam question was agreed upon by Director Chen and me, and the purpose is to explore whether rap music can continue to develop in China. Can you find a path of your own?
Compared to this, we don't really care about the outcome of the individual.
So tonight, Director Ye just gave his answer, which is very bold and beautiful.
Whether this answer is a bewitching devil or a holy angel, we, the teachers, do not make a final conclusion tonight, and we have no right to make a conclusion.
The key to the success of a music style lies in its popularity among music fans.
However, as a musical style, I don't think it's enough to have just one song. ”
"That's right." Ding Shaoyang continued, "Actually, two songs are not enough, but they are better than one song, and the next one is still Director Ye's work, let's enjoy it together." ”
Ye Luo remained silent throughout the whole process, in fact, he also wanted to observe whether this style of rap could be accepted. It should be said that it is not a big problem, because the cultural backgrounds of the two worlds are so similar.
It's just that there will definitely be controversy in the end, and there will be another world, but now Ye Luo will not be afraid of any controversy.
In the current realm of Ye Luo, it is normal to have controversy, and controversy is a help.
The lights on the stage dimmed again, and Ye Luo's second competition song was about to start, and the audience quickly quieted down.
The wait was anticipating, but it wasn't pretty, but fortunately it didn't last long, and after a few seconds, the melody began to play.
On the big screen in the middle of the stage, photos began to appear.
This is a group of photos of the son growing up and the mother getting old, one a year, a total of twenty, from the birth of the son to the age of twenty.
Slowly, as the son's eyebrows and eyes in the photo gradually grew, by the thirteenth and fourteenth photos, everyone recognized that this little boy was Ye Luo.
Twenty photos, each stay for about two seconds, so this prelude, which is forty seconds long, is much longer than the original song, and is a very warm set of piano melodies specially compiled by Ye Luo for today's competition.
In this group of photos, Ye Luo was picked up from his own photo album. Father Ye Tianming is the boss of fish, who fishes outside all the year round, and he and his mother are often the two people in the family.
From childhood to adulthood, Ye Luo's feelings for his mother are very deep, looking at this photo, Ye Luo's eyes turned red unconsciously.
He hadn't looked at these photos carefully before, even when he was choosing photos for this episode, Ye Luo was also starting from the effect to find some suitable ones, and mainly to pick photos that didn't look so frustrated.
Sitting on the mentor's seat at this time, when these photos were magnified in high definition and presented one by one, Ye Luo saw that her mother had changed from a young and beautiful fisherman's girl, one a year, to a middle-aged woman with a distorted figure and white frost on her temples, and the sourness in her heart came out unconsciously.
At the time of the forty-second prelude on the stage, two female singers have already taken the stage.
Li Xiuyun and Chen Lu, as soon as the prelude passed, the two opened their voices together.
"Kids, do you have a lot of question marks?
Why is it that while others are reading comics, I am learning to draw and talk to the piano.
While others were playing games, I was leaning against the wall and reciting my ABCs.
I said I wanted a big plane, but I got an old tape recorder.
Why should you listen to your mother, you will begin to understand this passage when you grow up.
As I grew up, I began to understand why I ran faster and flew higher than others.
In the future, everyone will read the comics I draw, and everyone will sing the songs I wrote.
Mother's hard work, don't let you see it.
Warm recipes in her heart.
When I have time, I will shake her hand more and hold her hand and sleepwalk together.
Listen to your mother and don't let her get hurt.
I want to grow up quickly to protect her.
Beautiful white hair, sprouting in happiness.
Angelic magic, warmth and kindness.
……”
Song Title: "Listen to Mom"
This original version is a boys' song, but the girls perform it in a duet, which is just as good.
Stylistically, this is a rap with a light rhythm, a light music that should make people laugh and make people happy.
But when the camera captures the expressions of the audience listening to the song, this is not the case.
Some viewers' eyes were red, some viewers were a little distracted, and some had tears rippling.
In this song, Ye Luo made some adaptations to the original song in the second half, replaced the lyrics involving the names of the people, and created another paragraph, but the overall effect is still very consistent with the original song.
Coupled with the group of photos before Ye Luo, this song suddenly had a tear-jerking effect. Although this song is being performed through the mouths of Li Xiuyun and Chen Lu, all the audience knows that this song should be Ye Luo's heart.
After the song was completed, the audience was applauded like a torrential rain, but there was no screaming, everyone was infected by the warmth of the song, and the applause represented respect.
Waiting until the surroundings were quiet, Ding Shaoyang said: "Hey, Director Ye, no, didn't you just say that your mother is the proprietress of the barbecue restaurant?" The third stage of the tea ceremony! How can you look at a real person, a smell of sea salt? ”
"Isn't it okay to have a seafood-themed barbecue restaurant?" Ye Luo glanced at Ding Shaoyang.
"Okay then." Ding Shaoyang smiled, "I don't dare to dig deeper, in case you really know how to double-leave, I can't beat you." ”
After a burst of laughter, Ding Shaoyang straightened his face and said, "Okay, Director Ye's second song has been finished." A very warm song, although the style of music is not the same as the previous "Nunchuck", but in terms of rap techniques, it is still the same way, singing upside down.
After these two songs, I feel that this style of rap can be said to be a consolidation of style. I believe that with Director Ye's talent, this style of rap music can still be written.
So what is the market prospect of this kind of music, Director Chen, you are the first person in China's commercial music in the past ten years, why don't you analyze it? Although we don't draw conclusions, we still need expert opinions. ”
Chen Tianhua smiled and said: "I think this kind of rap music, at the beginning, will inevitably encounter some resistance, because after all, this kind of singing is subversive.
But we also have to see that the music quality of Director Ye's two new songs is very good, which is also his consistent feature.
I believe that the market, in the end, will still choose good music, not good music.
From the perspective of us musicians, conformism means stagnation. Innovation is always a good thing, even if it is a failed innovation, it is a good attempt.
I still have this attitude, and I appreciate Director Ye's pioneering achievements in Chinese rap music tonight.
Whether it's courage or skill, he deserves my respect.
Personally, I think that the pop rap style presented by Director Ye tonight will inevitably become popular in the future as the mainstream trend of Chinese pop rap. (To be continued......)
