Chapter 8: Surprise the audience

The sound of the piano simulated by the electronic keyboard sounded low, slow and heavy, and the slightly dark tone made people quickly enter the tragic atmosphere created by the song. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was just a prelude to four bars, and all three judges had different expressions, but the mood was the same - surprise. The "originality" of ordinary amateurs, that is, Ge Hong's so-called "playing guitar and sweeping chords", mostly uses "three chords", and it is good to be able to use "seven chords". But Le Zhengjun's prelude was low with a strong sense of tension and confrontation, and Ge Hong and Geng Yu couldn't hear what kind of chord it was. However, Liu Le heard it, using nine chords, nine chords are used a lot in jazz, but most of them are high stacked chords, but this piece is actually non-high stacked, and the chord notes collide together, forming a strong sense of harshness, and it is difficult for ordinary people to tolerate such a sound, but ......

Why does this prelude sound so comfortable? Low, and nervous, makes people's hearts feel as uneasy as lifting strings and empty, uneasy, and also a kind of comfort? What does it feel like? Liu Le even sat up straight unconsciously, he knew that the person in front of him must be professional!

Le Zhengjun took a deep breath and sang the first sentence softly:

"Winter Night Snow, Dark Starwind~Invasion~Month~"

Liu Le suddenly felt his scalp tingle! This voice, this melody!

Le Zhengjun's voice is slightly low and hoarse, as if he is quietly telling an old and sad story, and the melody at the beginning occupies a small register, which is in line with the first element of pop music "pop": a small note is less notes, and fewer notes are easy to sing!

What's more, it's simple and it sounds good!

Just listen to the singing and continue to sing:

"The old man enters the dream~dream~night~"

In the second sentence, Liu Le was even more surprised, the voice was still the same, as deep and undulating as an ancient well, but as a singer of his level, he not only heard the breathtaking magic in Le Zhengjun's voice, but also heard how this melody was written! This melody is very similar to the first phrase, but it is very different, according to common sense, this kind of similar and very different things do not exist in the world, but there is in music! This is a "reflection" technique! Turn the melody of the first line upside down like looking in a mirror!

Thinking of the "reflection", Liu Le was even more cold sweat oozing from his forehead. Reflection is just upside down, easy to say, hard to do! Why? It's not easy for you to have a good melody for the first time, and then you turn this melody upside down, and it's good, what level is this? Explain that your first sentence is excellently written! Fabulous!

Just listen to Le Zhengjun singing:

"Things are like smoke~~Words to the ice~Condensation~Knot~"

"The heart has no soul ~~not passing~no~reading~"

Hearing this, if it weren't for the fear of interrupting Le Zhengjun's singing, Liu Le would have jumped up!

Four lyrics, four melodies, four phrases, perfect structure! Where's the perfection? In the "four"? No! And in the inner musical logic! Between these four melodies, the classic relationship of "starting-bearing-turning-combining" is perfectly formed! "Start" is the beginning. The beginning seems to be the easiest, as if anyone can; "Inheritance", that is, to inherit the previous sentence, the logical relationship between the reflection technique used in this song and the previous sentence is a perfect "inheritance"; The third sentence is called "turn", which is to change the musical material of the first two sentences, introduce new musical materials, and slightly sublimate the musical emotion, but not too much separation from the first two sentences; The fourth sentence is called "together", which is the most difficult step, to have a melody, including all the content and emotions of the first three sentences! This requires a lot of composing skills!

Ordinary singers can also write four melodies, but there are not many people who can do the two steps of "start-bear", and those who know how to use the three steps of "start-bear-turn" are already masters! And there are probably very few people in the pop music scene in China who can do "starting-inheriting-turning-combining"! is Liu Le himself, and he can only occasionally achieve it in his works after the age of forty!

Why?

"Start-Bear-Turn-Together" is not a secret, but a rule, and it is not difficult to follow the rules in music, but! The higher the degree of obedience to the rules of music, the less "melodical" the work will be, that is, the "good" or "catchy" in the secular sense! Classical music doesn't care much about that, so it's easy to "take the lead and turn around" in classical music, but pop music is a must! This is digging into the roots of pop music! If the melody is too obscure, or too awkward, it will greatly affect the circulation of pop music, because the reason why pop music is pop music is not only because there are singers to sing and someone to listen to, but also because anyone can sing it!

At this time, after the four lines are sung, the original prelude appears here again, and after listening to the four lines, the prelude becomes meaningful.

"The words are well written." Geng Yu whispered, but suddenly felt Liu Le's angry gaze, and he suddenly realized that his words had disturbed Liu Le's listening to the song! He was so frightened that he hurriedly sat down and listened to the song.

Le Zhengjun sang again:

"The snub of Guanhe is a red decay ~ reduction,

"The evening scene is sparse and the soul is moving~ broken."

Liu Le nodded slightly, this is a repeat of the first paragraph of the four phrases, but there are slight differences, Liu Le secretly said "wonderful"! What's the trick? It's in this "slight difference", because it's exactly the same, it makes people auditory tired, it's completely different, and it breaks the feeling that the first paragraph brings.

"Try to ask, how many ~ ~ robbery ~ ...

"Alone with memories, but the Tao seems to be ordinary~ words."

After singing four more verses, two paragraphs, the main song is completed. It is still "starting and turning", due to the difference of "slightly", the "combination" of the last sentence is also very different from the "combination" of the first paragraph, the last sentence of the first paragraph is downward, lower, creating a feeling of "not reading it", and the last sentence of this paragraph is suddenly upward, from the word "find" to the word "often", a big step, this is a true and false sound conversion!

When Ge Hong heard the high note of the word "Chang", her stiff face could no longer hold back, the muscles on her face were relaxed, her mouth was half open, and her eyes were wide open, looking at Le Zhengjun. This word "often" is really powerful! All the previous tones were not high, the atmosphere was dull, and she couldn't hear the singer's singing skills, she had to admit that Le Zhengjun's voice was very good, but a good voice didn't mean that he could sing. However, this sentence of true and false tone conversion is smooth and smooth, which is really amazing! He can sing! And he's good at singing!

The piano sound is a brief little cadenza that immediately enters the chorus.

Le Zhengjun took a sharp breath, and the whole voice raised an octave, sweeping away the hoarseness of the previous voice, and becoming high-pitched and bright:

"Light as sand, but non-stop.

"It's as light as the wind, and it's cold and bloody.

"A dream in ten years, since the youth fought for the silver grate festival.

"Zhu Yanfei, love Hongchen is cold and heartbroken."

As a judge, Geng Yu can barely feel his breath! What a strong impact! It pressed down on him like a mountain! Make him feel like a dwarf standing in front of a giant!

On the contrary, she felt her heart beating faster! This voice! It's an octave higher, and the young man in front of him is actually using a real voice! This is a higher sound than the word "Chang" in his falsetto voice in front of him! True voice! So powerful! Whoop? Accuse?

Liu Le clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, as if he was facing a great enemy, why? Just because his musical attainments are even higher! Geng Yu and Ge Hong were stimulated, he felt it! And even more intensely than the two of them! If the melody in front is well written, this is the skill of composition! Here, this voice, that's the skill of singing! How high is the word "fly" in "Zhu Yanfei"? In the pop music scene of all China, there are no more than five fingers who can sing this sound with a real voice, and it is so complete, not difficult, and not cramped!

"Genius!" Liu Le's mouth moved, and these two words popped out.
