Two days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Thursday again.

The live recording of original songs has come to the tenth issue.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, Ye Luo's business car fought for a while during the rush hour, and finally sent Ye Luo to Shangdu TV Station.

Ye Luo walked into the studio hall and found that he was the earliest today.

After the rehearsal ended yesterday afternoon, Ding Shaoyang pulled Ye Luo to drink again. Ye Luo was originally going to go, but Chu Mo'er was afraid that Ye Luo would hurt himself by drinking, so although she didn't say anything, the look on her face was not very good-looking.

In Ye Luo's world, Chu Mo'er is respected, and seeing that his girlfriend was unhappy, Ye Luo could only decline Ding Shaoyang's invitation.

Ye Luo estimated that last night, Ding Shaoyang, Chen Tianhua, and Shuanggui drank together, otherwise they would not be the first to arrive, because Biquan Hotel is much closer to here than Jingshan Community.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Ding Shaoyang came.

"You're in luck last night." Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "If you really come, you won't be able to go back." ”

"How much did you drink?" Ye Luo asked.

"These three rookies said that one person and a half catty, but in the end I drank a catty, and they drank a catty." Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "Then I want to drink a second one in the middle of the night, and they all don't do it, which is a disappointment." ”

"Lao Ding, drink less." Ye Luo persuaded, "You are not young anymore, don't let Teacher Deng wait for you for so many years." ”

Ding Shaoyang smiled and said, "It's okay, I can't die." Let's worry about the other three, this point hasn't come yet. ”

The on-site recording usually starts at 8 o'clock on time, but of course the instructor has to come first, because there is also a change of clothes, makeup, etc.

At half past seven, Chen Tianhua and the two ghosts finally came, and their spirits were not bad. Ye Luo also drank with them. Knowing these people, the amount of alcohol is okay, and they are in their forties, and they are in good health.

After a while in the dressing room, the instructors came to the instructor's chair at eight o'clock. Start taking your seats.

While the instructors were putting on makeup, the audience had already begun to enter, and by the time the instructors were in place, the auditorium was full.

As soon as a few mentors appeared, there was no need to say much about the excitement of the scene.

At eight o'clock, the director's countdown ended, and the recording officially began.

Wang Xiao took the stage first: "Audience in front of the TV, audience judges on the spot, good evening. In this issue. It is the tenth issue of our original Chinese songs, but everyone here, except for the mentors, is here for the first time.

First of all, let me introduce the types of music that we will be competing in this issue.

Tonight, our four mentors. It will challenge one of the most popular and popular music themes in the international music scene.

This kind of music. Although it is not mainstream music in our country, I am sure everyone has heard or heard of it before.

It's just that: pop rap.

In particular, tonight's audience will be more fortunate than the previous episodes, as there will be eight competing songs tonight. It's all the work of a few of our mentors here.

From this time onwards, the students will only join the competition as arranger assistants.

Okay, let's take a look at the voting rules for this field......"

Wang Xiao finished saying the rules that were exactly the same as the previous one, and then said, "Mentors. Please come on stage and draw lots for the order of competition. ”

Ye Luo followed several mentors and walked onto the stage.

This time, Ye Luo was drawn to the fourth and fifth places, and the two songs came in succession.

Ye Luo has been lucky lately, and he can sign it. However, in this round, because the two songs are produced by the mentor, the level is balanced, and there is no phenomenon that the second song of zài is the main force of canvassing, so the difference between good and bad is not too big in tonight's signing.

After the signing was decided, the mentors returned to the mentor seat, and Ding Shaoyang began to guide the topic.

"Pop rap is a type of rap music, and to put it bluntly, it is a combination of pop music and rap music." Ding Shaoyang said, "At present, in our country, pop rap is still in the embryonic, exploring, and unfinalized stage, and there is actually no strict identification standard for this music genre. And tonight's exam question, everyone should pay a little attention to it, is pop music with rap elements.

The so-called rap elements, that's more. The rap music in the Americas includes the West Coast, the South, the Old School, the Midwest, Latin, the hardcore, etc., and we in China have also had rap since ancient times.

So there are so many types of rap that add countless possibilities to our competition tonight.

In China, pop rap has not yet been finalized, so the songs of several of our mentors tonight are also in the exploration stage, don't think that this is the standard Chinese pop rap.

Do not let our explorations imprison your minds.

Every musician must have their own understanding of pop rap, and the sparks that burst out between various genres, different voices, and different ideas are the vitality of music. ”

Ding Shaoyang's opening remarks won bursts of applause from the audience.

Ye Luo is also applauding, competing with musicians of this level and realm is also a lot of gain for Ye Luo.

Chen Tianhua said at this time: "Director Ding's words won my heart. Okay, let's gossip less, let's enter tonight's competition first, Director Ding, please first. ”

Today's first competition song is Ding Shaoyang's new song.

The lights on the stage dimmed, and a female singer flashed in the depths of the stage pointed by the dark blue floor lamp.

As the stage lights turned on, the audience was boiling.

The first singer sent out by Ding Shaoyang today is Zhen Zhi after the first day of domestic rock.

Zhen Zhi's appearance was already very glamorous, but today she was wearing heavy makeup, and her whole body was wrapped in a tight leather coat, with curves, which made people's blood gush, and in her arms, there was an electric bass.

The electric bass is a bit bulkier than the electric guitar, but Zhen Zhi is tall and looks very coordinated.

Behind Zhen Zhi, the live band also walked on the stage, with drums, two electric guitars, and a keyboard.

Seeing this diva on stage, Ye Luo probably knew the style of Ding Shaoyang's first song tonight.

This is supposed to be a rap-rock, Rap-Rock.

This type of music. In fact, it is an extension of rap metal in metal rock, which has a more organized melody and more complete and harmonious lyrics than metal rock, which is equivalent to leaning in the direction of popular music.

This style of song is available abroad, but it is basically not seen in China at present. And this kind of song abroad. It's mostly for love, and it's full of swearing.

Ye Luo couldn't help laughing, what kind of roast duck, cross talk, the so-called leak on Lao Ding's wine table a few days ago was really all nonsense.

However, Ye Luo still has some expectations for this song. I don't know how Ding Shaoyang will transform this kind of music into Chinese pop rap.

On stage, Zhen Zhi's fingers began to flick on the bass, between the white and long fingers and the bright red nails. The color contrast is strong and eye-catching.

At the beginning of the song, there is a "funk" flavor.

The so-called "funk", which is also translated as "stop percussion" in English, evolved from black jazz and is also considered to be the predecessor of disco music.

This type of music does not emphasize melody and harmony. The emphasis is on the strong rhythmic rhythm of the electric bass and drums.

Stop-percussion was once popular in the United States in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and then Americans became aesthetically fatigued. This genre fell into a low ebb, and after the 90s, it mostly appeared as a retro style of pop music.

The beginning of Ding Shaoyang's rap-rock song is a sudden stop percussion, the electric bass and drums are beautifully arranged, and the prelude is together. The audience was nodding or swaying to the rhythm.

This way of entering the prelude is very well guided, and it can draw the audience's attention to the song for the first time, and be in a good mood. Listening to the song is very relaxing.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Zhi's voice sounded, at first it was singing, low voice, and her voice seemed to have been sharpened by sand and stone, full of grain.

And the main and chorus are high. Between the tides, the elements of rap were added by Ding Shaoyang.

This rap is an English rap.

With Ye Luo's English ability, he can understand it, but as for how much the audience understands, he doesn't know.

After the English rap ended, and then the chorus of Chinese lyrics, Zhen Zhi's iconic volcano sounded, and the audience was shaken by this voice, and the waves of people surged.

Ye Luo couldn't help but nodded, the live effect of this song is really very good and infectious.

But the problem is that in the embodiment of rap elements, Ding Shaoyang copied the way of rap rock in Europe and the United States, and even the lyrics are in English.

In Ye Luo's opinion, he was somewhat suspected of being lazy, and he began to hesitate, and when the tutor commented for a while, whether to say it directly, or to put it lightly.

As a program mentor, when I heard that there was a problem with a song, Ye Luo said that he definitely wanted to say it, but the ways and methods and language organization still need to be considered.

After the song was performed, the audience responded very well.

"Director Ye, do you have something to say?" Ding Shaoyang is a personal essence, and he looked in all directions, and when he saw Ye Luo's thinking look, he already knew it in his heart, and asked directly.

"The quality of this song, very high." Ye Luo smiled, planning to touch the hair first, and then comment when it was comfortable, "Especially the funk at the beginning, it is very beautiful." But I have a question, I don't know what Director Ding thinks. ”

"If you have a problem, just say it." Ding Shaoyang said.

"The rap part of this rap rock, let's not talk about the proportion first, why did Director Ding choose English for the lyrics? Isn't it better to use Chinese? ”

"I'll tell you the truth. This song, my earliest version, this rap is in Chinese. Ding Shaoyang said, "But it sounds awkward." As soon as the English lyrics were changed, it was comfortable. I summed it up, this may be due to the characteristics of our Chinese pronunciation, our Chinese pronunciation, between words and words, when rapping, than English can be more sonorous and powerful, but the coherence is much inferior, the sense of rhythm is difficult to reflect.

Therefore, once in this kind of rap rock, Chinese rap will seem to be incompatible with the accompaniment and slightly monotonous.

As a Chinese, I really want to rap lyrics in Chinese, but I can't solve this problem for the time being, so for the sake of effect, I have to use English lyrics.

I think after this episode of the program is broadcast, how to solve this problem technically, you might as well work together to see if there is any other way. ”

"Oh......" Ye Luo nodded, "There is a way to do this." ”

"What's the solution?" Ding Shaoyang asked.

"I'll hear it later." Ye Luo smiled. (To be continued......)
