Chapter 360: A Little Pit
Nowadays, most genres of music are based on a few types of music and then merge with each other.
In recent decades, musicians, like scientists, have been doing test-tube experiments in the real yĆ n room, or like chefs, in the kitchen with various spices, trying to taste the taste.
What is the taste of this kind of music with that kind of concert, and what is the appropriate proportion?
With the continuous progress of these realizations, and then through the selection of the market and the ears of listeners, most of the music genres that have survived today were once smash hits.
For example, the previous jazz rap, jazz rock, and even jazz itself evolved in this way, combining a variety of older music genres, and gradually integrating and developing.
Lyrical rock, or soft, slow-paced rock, is also one of them.
This kind of music was born in the early 70s of the last century, and originally referred to those rock music based on folk without electroacoustic instruments, which is a combination of folk and rock.
Later, rock music that used electroacoustic instruments, but had beautiful and smooth melodies, was also classified in this category.
In the American record industry, lyrical rock is known as the "middle way", with a little more rock attitude than ordinary pop music, and a little less tough and boisterous than orthodox rock music.
This kind of music, in Ye Luo's impression, has a feeling of "chivalrous tenderness".
The first song of tonight's competition is just that feeling.
The lights on the stage dimmed, the floor lamps lit up, and in the depths of the stage, a tall singer figure flashed.
As soon as they saw this size, the audience immediately guessed who it was.
The love general in Ye Luo's hand, a male singer who sings well in rock, who else can he be besides Rob, who is 1.86 meters?
Applause and cheers ensued, and Rob's two albums came down. Now a rising rock star. In terms of prestige, it is naturally slightly inferior to the three kings who have accumulated for several years or even more than ten years, but its popularity has faintly surpassed it.
Rob's stage style is one word, horizontal.
There will be no smile on the face. On stage, he was strict and serious, as if someone else owed him money. But he is willing to work hard, whether it is the flower work of the electric guitar or singing, no matter how tired he comes, he is full of sincerity.
Whether it is a small commercial performance or a high-end stage like today, he treats everyone equally, but all performances. It won't be discounted.
The young man is young, as big as Ye Luo, with a good body, a bright voice, and dedication, so he has an excellent reputation for commercial performances, and he is so busy all day long that he doesn't see anyone.
For today's song, Rob didn't carry an electric guitar. This is the first time he has taken the stage.
A spotlight shines on the stage, illuminating Rob's knife-like facial contours. It was still the same face as if others owed him money, his face sank like water, and he adjusted the height of the microphone stand next to him with his hand.
Immediately after a very beautiful keyboard melody and the sound of cymbals on the drums, Rob held the microphone with both hands and began to sing with his eyes closed.
"You find a reason. Let me balance.
You make an excuse for me to accept.
I know what you're thinking, and you can't see how I'm feeling.
It's dark and the wind is cold.
ā¦ā¦
Do you love me?
I don't know what to say.
Do you love me or not?
Tear off the hypocrisy, and maybe I'll be better.
Do you love me?
I don't know what to do.
Do you love me or not?
Wake yourself up. I won't be sad anymore. ā
Song title: "Love Me or Not".
The melody of this song is beautiful, and the lyrics are heartfelt.
Rob rarely sings a song quietly on stage like this, Ye Luo knows him very well, he has ADHD when he is young, and he can't be idle for a moment. When I grew up and went on stage, I couldn't play the guitar and almost couldn't sing.
Even if he goes to the studio to record, Rob is used to holding a guitar in his hand, and for the recording effect, at most it is not plugged in, but he must play and sing.
But in this song, Ye Luo asked him to put down the guitar and only sing, not play. When recording for the first time on Sunday, Rob was all kinds of awkward, and in the end, Ye Luo had no choice, so he gave him a trick.
"When you go on stage, you just hold the microphone with both hands, and your fingers work hard to play the guitar as you do. Anyway, others can't see it, and you enjoy it yourself. ā
As a result, when I watched it today, the effect was really good, Rob held the microphone in his hand, and the whole song was performed very steadily.
Coupled with the contrast between Rob's tall and iron-clad tough guy image and the soft and watery style of the song, the whole performance effect is very three-dimensional.
Although the song was milder than the average rock song, by the time Rob finished singing, the audience's response was not at all tepid, with standing ovations, cheers and screams, and the sound of jumping feet almost tearing off the roof.
Especially a few female viewers, just now Rob sang on it "Do you love me?" Here's the response: "Love! ā
After singing at this time, words like "Rob I want to have a child with you" are quite conservative, and there are even more unbearable, Ye Luo feels that after this episode of the show is broadcast, Rob has to kneel on the washboard in front of Zhang Jiaqi.
After waiting for a minute, the surroundings slowly quieted down.
Ding Shaoyang nodded, and began to perform his duty of topic guidance: "Sure enough, it is a slow rocking song, and Rob just now gave people a feeling on the stage, a hundred steels are made into fingers, and he sings really well." Director Chen, what do you think? ā
"It's really good to sing, I originally thought Rob only had a high note, but I didn't expect to perform such lyrical rock, and still be able to score three points. It seems that Director Ye has been supporting him with all his strength since the beginning of the new girls' finals, it is not unreasonable, the young man does have a good foundation.
Among today's domestic rock singers and male singers, he is considered to be at the top. ā
"yes." Yu Zuo continued, "This kind of lyrical rock, let a pure rock singer interpret it, in fact, it is very difficult, often it will sound very blunt, even far-fetched.
But Rob didn't have it tonight, he just showed a little bit of clumsiness, which matched his stage image very well. It's like an ancient chivalrous man with a resolute temperament and strong martial arts, and when facing his daughter's affection, he feels confused and confused.
This feeling brings out the feelings that this song wants to express, very well.
This singer is very powerful. ā
Ye Luo listened quietly, he was very happy at first, Rob was his small, everyone praised him for singing well, of course Ye Luo was happy. Just listening slowly, Ye Luo felt that this was wrong.
This is an original and good song, not a cutting-edge boy. What does it mean that a few of your mentors only talk about the singer, but not the song itself?
Of course, Ye Luo won't ask this, but just slander it in his heart.
He was the latest to arrive today, and it is estimated that the other mentors had formed an offensive and defensive alliance when they were sitting in the dressing room earlier.
However, this kind of offensive and defensive alliance doesn't really want to suppress Ye Luo, it really wants to suppress, it was suppressed early on, and they won't wait until the penultimate issue to remember, they should do it for the effect of the show.
If this first song, several mentors will praise the sky, and Ye Luo has five consecutive championships in hand, there is no need to listen to the songs after this issue, there is no suspense at all, which is not good for the ratings.
But Ding Shaoyang, Chen Tianhua, and the two ghosts let them talk nonsense with their eyes open, saying that Ye Luo's song is not good, and they can't do this kind of thing, so they can only avoid the important and trivialize the singer.
Thinking of this, Ye Luo nodded, it can only be like this.
After praising the singer, Ding Shaoyang began to systematically introduce the history of the formation of lyrical rock and various genres, and spoke for about ten minutes.
Then Yu Zuo and Yu You added for more than ten minutes with great interest, and finally Chen Tianhua summed up for another five or six minutes.
For nearly half an hour, Ye Luo listened to it yawning for a long time, and when he thought about going back to the broadcast, this paragraph was estimated to be pinched.
But Ding Shaoyang did this, Ye Luo understood. And it's clear that the on-set director is also acquiescing to them.
"Love Me or Not", as the first song recorded in this issue, is too strong, and it is not easy for the audience to get in and out.
For the live effect of some of the following songs, it is necessary to add a section of this lethargic professional knowledge lecture in the middle.
Let the audience get out of the song just now, and then accumulate a little more anticipation for the next song.
With Ding Shaoyang's life experience, if they really want to pit Ye Luo, then Ye Luo is impossible to prevent. This kind of pit is a very reserved pit, and Ye Luo turned a blind eye and acquiesced.
Anyway, tonight's last song is also Ye Luo's, and they can't play this trick a second time. (To be continued......)
