Chapter 53: Rebuttal
Nanfeng looked nervously at the judges' seat where the expert group was, the performance of the other four singers today was beyond Nanfeng's expectations, I didn't expect them to come up with dry goods in the first competition, and they had such a wonderful performance. You must know that the works they sing can be put on the charts at other times.
In fact, the organizer also reminded Nanfeng that he could come up with excellent works to participate in the competition, but Song Jiajia did not particularly emphasize it when communicating with Nanfeng, so Nanfeng himself did not pay attention. This is easy to understand, after all, it is the first game of the competition, and the organizers must also hope that the first show can get off to a good start, so as to retain the audience, attract more viewers, and increase ratings.
If Nanfeng had considered these circumstances before, he would probably have seriously considered the participating songs, at least songs like "My Microphone" that didn't seem so official, and he would definitely not sing them. The main reason for choosing this song was that it reflected his own heart and made him like it.
Nanfeng was worried that the expert group would not like the style of the song, so in the process of elaborating before, he had already said everything that needed to be said, whether it was a hip-hop style of music or an arrogant lyrics, trying to make the expert group have nothing to say.
"I would like to ask Professor Li Gu to comment on the song South Wind." The moderator spoke.
Li Gu, director of the Huaguo Music Association and honorary professor of the composition department of the Shangjing Conservatory of Music, is one of the most prestigious music creators in China. Of course, Nanfeng didn't know this person, only that this person was very good.
Nanfeng had previously checked the personal information of eight members of the expert group on the Internet, and Li Gu had a good reputation in the industry, was very modest, and was also one of the main advocates of advocating that Chinese music should have its own characteristics.
"Nanfeng, you are still very talented as a young man, the song "Dark Fragrance" should be created by you, I like this song very much, I have always thought that we Chinese people should have their own characteristics of music, "Dark Fragrance" is a very good song, the humanistic characteristics of our Chinese country are perfectly integrated into the music." Li Gu said appreciatively.
"Xie Lu Xie Li Gu teacher, I have always believed that our country has a history of thousands of years, and our musical works should have their own characteristics, and the song "Dark Fragrance" is an attempt by me to do so, and it seems that this attempt is acceptable to the public, but because my own cultural precipitation is not enough, it is still very difficult to create this kind of musical works." Nanfeng said gratefully.
"Of course, I also think that Chinese music should not be derailed from the world music scene, we may not have to imitate the music style of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, but we also can't close the country and ignore the development trend of pop music in the international music scene. Nanfeng explained.
"What you said is very good, I don't know much about hip-hop music, but the "My Microphone" you just sang is very good, it is a very good song, I like this song very much, I hope you can continue to make good music and bring more different sounds to the Chinese music scene." Li Gu praised.
Li Gu's words made Nanfeng very happy, at least one of the eight experts Li Gu had a positive attitude towards himself, and he was very satisfied with being able to gain the favor of a judge.
"Teacher Wulin, what do you think of Nanfeng, which is also under Dynasty Entertainment?" Lao Bi asked again.
There are eight judges in the expert panel, and it is impossible for each of them to speak, but usually two speakers, one is one of the three experts in the music council, and the other is a musician from the same company. Wulin is the representative of Dynasty Entertainment, so naturally he will comment on Nanfeng, which is also the most disgusting place for Nanfeng.
"As the saying goes, Juxian does not avoid relatives, although Nanfeng is a singer under our Dynasty Entertainment, but I will not blindly say good things about him because of this." Wu Lin looked like the whole world owed me a million debts, and said proudly.
As soon as Wu Lin opened his mouth, Nanfeng knew that he had no good words in his mouth, and Nanfeng had been prepared for this, but he was also extremely unhappy. Looking at his unbalanced appearance, Nanfeng involuntarily scolded in his heart: You still wear sunglasses in the studio, you pretend to be C!
"First of all, I must be sure that this hip-hop style "My Microphone" is very mature in the form of hip-hop, and it is more mature than some hip-hop styles in Japan and South Korea at present." Wu Lin unexpectedly said a good word to the south wind.
"But I want to say that this is the competition stage for original musicians, and we not only have to see whether a song is good, but also how the song itself is structured and how the song itself is expressed." Wu Lin began to show off his professional knowledge, fooling the audience who knew little or no about music at the scene and in front of the TV.
"Nanfeng is very smart, he chose hip-hop songs to participate in the competition, hip-hop style is a very simple, very flattering form of expression in my opinion, everyone thinks this song is very dynamic, very good, this is because everyone is confused by the musical appearance of hip-hop style, except for this appearance, the expression of this song is actually very single."
"Let's talk about the structure of this song, maybe it's too professional and you don't understand it very well, in other words, if you observe carefully, you will find that the whole song is actually a melody, and then repeat and repeat, and a song is completed. The presentation is single and the structure is simple, so this song is inferior to the other four songs in my opinion. Wu Lin said politely.
"This ......" Wulin's counterattack made the host not know what to say for a while.
Originally, this show arranged two expert group members to comment, just hoping that one would sing red face and one white face, and the musician in the same company was naturally the one responsible for saying good things, but as a result, you were good at martial arts, but instead said bad things.
"I think I can answer this question live." After all, Nanfeng is a young man, and Wulin is so targeted at him, he naturally won't save face for Wulin, and he has to share his anger and swallow his anger, you Wulin is a hairy.
"First of all, in terms of form, Mr. Wulin said before that the hip-hop style of this song is more mature than that of Japan and South Korea, which shows that the hip-hop style is not so simple to sing well, otherwise there is no difference between maturity and immaturity. And the expression of this song is not as simple as Mr. Wulin said, I added the rap of black American music to the performance of the song, and I believe that this form of expression is the first time in the Chinese music scene. It may not be that successful, but I can't ignore my attempts in this area. Nanfeng politely retorted.
"As for the structure of the music, I thought I could explain that as well. Pop music is not like symphony, pop music has to be performed in just three or four minutes, and you can't have that much time for you to enrich a huge structure. ”
"In fact, all the music works in the current Chinese music scene, including "Dark Fragrance", which has just been praised by Mr. Li Gu, have the chorus part sung repeatedly, but the difference is that there will be a transitional prelude before the chorus, and the song reaches ** through the prelude, and my song is the chorus part as soon as it appears."
"I think the creation of music is like writing an essay, you can use the writing technique of wanting to promote and suppress the first, you can also use the writing technique of wanting to suppress the first, every writer can use the most suitable expression method to create, we musicians are the same, you can't use a fixed model to ask every musician to create." Southwind retorted.
Nanfeng's rebuttal won him a lot of applause, but it also offended Wulin miserably, only to see that Wulin's face was as black as his sunglasses. If Wulin just wanted to use this opportunity to teach Nanfeng a lesson at the beginning, then the two are now officially feuding, but will Nanfeng be afraid?
"Okay, now ask the expert group to score Nanfeng's "My Microphone". Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, the host hurriedly entered the next process, so as not to break out any fierce news in the first show.
Each of the eight judges of the expert panel gives a score, which is weighted and averaged to get an average score, which is then converted into 20 points, and the score obtained after the most is the score of the expert panel.
"The lowest score of the south wind is 12.5 points, although it is the lowest score at the moment, but this does not mean the lowest score, don't worry about it for the time being." The host comforted a little, "Next, I will invite the other four players to the court." ”
Nanfeng was a little surprised by this score, although he admitted that the works of the other four contestants were not bad, but Nanfeng didn't think that the song "My Microphone" was so much worse than others, but seeing the smug expression of Wulin on the expert group and the surprised expressions of the other seven experts, Nanfeng was not surprised.
Needless to say, it must have been Wulin who gave an ultra-low score, which pulled down the overall average score.
"Today's show is just a performance, the real competition starts from the next one, the official website has been opened a week ago, and more than 135,800 netizens across the country have voted on the selection of 1,000 keywords just now. The top 20 votes were shown on the big screen, and the highest number of votes was 3,428 votes, which means that in the next week, please create a song with a keyword! ”
"This keyword will be removed from a thousand keywords, all votes will be cleared, the audience on the scene and in front of the TV please re-select the keyword, as the creative theme for next week, this episode of the program ends here, welcome everyone to continue to watch the new sound generation original musician contest at the same time next week......"
The first game ended like this, although I don't know how Lu Dao was for the audience, but for Nanfeng, one of the participants, it was terrible, his own lack of preparation and the obstruction of martial arts made Nanfeng weak.
