Chapter 129: The Eve of the Great War 3
After singing a song, I dedicated these courtiers around the emperor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info some people can't help but sigh in their hearts. The ancients appreciated music and had such a discussion. Constant temperature asked Meng Jia: "Listening to music, silk is not as good as bamboo, and bamboo is not as good as meat, why not?"
Meng Jia said: "Gradually approaching nature."
Silk here refers to orchestral instruments, bamboo, flutes and the like. Meat, on the other hand, refers to the human throat.
The meaning of this dialogue is that the person who asks asks why listening to strings is not as good as listening to the flute, and the flute is not as good as the human singing.
The person who answered said that because it was closer to the real and natural.
Although this dialogue is the remarks of the people of the Jin Dynasty, of course, the people at this time can also hear with their ears the advantages and disadvantages of the songs sung by the palace maids.
Xiaomei Xiaozhu is the best age for seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, and she sings such a soulful and gentle music. The purity of the girls' voices is really vividly played by them. Those who listen to it feel that after the song is over, it is refreshing, and they can't help but fall for it.
Until Xiaomei Xiaozhu and the others stepped down, the people who listened still didn't come back to their senses. Some people closed their eyes and groaned, and some people shook their heads. A group of sour literati are such a character. It's completely unsightly.
When they enjoy good music, they only care about their own aftertaste, regardless of the hard work of others to give them performances. Would it be nice to give at least two rounds of applause? Is!
Back below, Xiaozhu asked Ritsu Kagawa with a smile: "General, am I singing well?"
Ritsukagawa said, "It's much better than me."
Is this a compliment? Xiaozhu walked to the side with some puff.
After listening to Kong Rong's song "Our Ocean", he felt a lot. The songs of their time were sung by men and women. Like Cao Cao, once he also danced and sang, and became a rock star.
But most of the singer's lyrics are verses. There are strict rules. It's not like Ritsu Kagawa, the length is arbitrary, and it's as clear as words. This is simply unheard of for Kong Rong.
And if you taste it carefully, there seems to be a different meaning in the words. This opened his mind and made him realize it suddenly. It turns out that it is not only the law that can carry far-reaching literary implications.
And Ritsu Kagawa, who writes lyrics so uniquely and uniquely, is really a maverick character. made Kong Rong have a strong curiosity about him at this time, and he felt that this person was really unfathomable and difficult to understand.
He has a little bit of an exquisite mind about Ritsu Kagawa here, and Ritsu Kagawa is there, but at this time, he is going to arrange for Xiaozhu Xiaomei and a few of them to go up to perform. At tonight's feast, they had to sing several songs. Together with the dance choreographed by Wei Wen's brother and sister, they had to survive the night.
I just sang a song "Our Ocean", and the effect was good, but this time Ritsu Kagawa was even more bold and directly asked Xiaozhu and them to go up and sing "Prettyboy". And it's in English.
Ritsukagawa didn't mean anything special by doing this, he just felt that music could be transmitted independently across language barriers. Like when he first listened to this song "Prettyboy", he didn't know what this song meant, but that didn't stop him from thinking it was good.
His mission tonight is not only to educate people, but also to entertain them. Since the purpose is this, of course he has to arrange tonight's "concert" according to his own wishes.
And this song was also popular in Asia back then, which shows that this is a song that can better cater to the preferences of Oriental people.
Of course, this is completely crazy, and Ritsu Kagawa is also laughing at herself. There is no risk, though. Even if no one likes to listen to this song, so what? He's just choreographing an unpopular show.
He doesn't need to guarantee ratings to anyone, and he doesn't need to get any advanced capital from it. This is just a game of ticket nature for him.
So he can promote some of the things he wants to introduce to this era according to his own preferences.
Xiaomei and Xiaozhu really went on stage to sing the song "Prettyboy". When Ritsu Kagawa taught them to sing the song in Chinese characters, they suffered a lot because they couldn't remember so many lyrics.
If the lyrics were meaningful, they would remember a lot, but the ones Ritsukagawa wrote for them were simply garbled. Thankfully, they remembered it in the end.
Ritsukagawa knew they could remember. Because in his original time and space, many people who didn't know foreign languages used this method to practice singing foreign language songs. Annotate the sounds of foreign languages in Chinese, and then sing them word by word.
Of course, people who sing foreign songs can also practice singing Chinese songs in this way, which is a way that can be used in both directions. People who don't know Chinese can mark the sounds of Chinese in their native language and sing word by word.
Let's see how Xiaomei and Xiaozhu sing tonight.
The music sounded, and Xiaomei Xiaozhu's singing voice also sounded at the same time:
Ilieawakeatnight

M2M's songs, it's so sweet. The first time Ritsukagawa heard it, it was incredible. Singers of foreign women generally do not have songs in the style of little girls. Ritsu Kagawa thought at the time that this must be considered an anomaly. r> And such a fresh song, of course, also attracts people's attention. Because in addition to the gentle and soft tune of this song, no one can understand what Xiaomei and Xiaozhu are singing.
Halfway through the song, Yang Biao Kong Rong ran over to him. Kong Rong asked: "General Lu, what is this song sung by the palace maids?"
Ritsukagawa looked at Kong Rong and said to him, "Does Taishou-sama think this song is good?"
Kong Rong hesitated slightly, and then said, "There is no flavor."
Ritsukagawa said: "Since Lord Taishou thinks that this song is still good to listen to, then what Lord Taishou thinks in his heart is what they are singing, that is. And why bother to get to the bottom of it? ”
Kong Rong was stunned for a moment at his words, then sideways, and then thoughtful.
Listening to music is inherently a very subjective thing, and the imagery that an individual evokes in his heart after hearing a song may have nothing to do with the creator's intentions. Why did he wear it like that?
Kong Rong is deeply aware of some teaching.
The three of them had a discussion that was close to academics here, but they didn't expect that at this time, there was chaos on the performance stage.
Xiaomei Xiaozhu and Xiaozhu had just sung the second part of the song, but among the people who participated in this dinner tonight, one of them suddenly rushed to the middle of the field, reached out and grabbed one of Xiaozhu's arms.
This made Xiaozhu just let out a scream at that time, she didn't expect anyone to do such a thing to her. The performance was interrupted at that time, and the palace maids on the field were also flustered.
After this person grabbed Xiaozhu, he stretched out his hand to pull Xiaomei again, and said drunkenly: "Beauty, go home with General Ben!" General Ben will love you both very much. ”
They were in chaos here, and the courtiers who watched the performance also had a commotion.
