Chapter 547: On the Plum Side
William Hanks was indeed shocked.
Just a prelude brought him so much impact, you must know that the song was only played for less than 40 seconds at this time.
But just as William Hanks was pondering, the singer named Wang Li officially began to sing.
"This is the fairy in the painting in which Mengmei fell in love, and the one is Liniang's death for love..."
As the "father of words", I should have paid more attention to the lyrics.
However, this lyric is completely a description of a certain story, so William Hanks has no way to evaluate it at all, and can only write it from the perspective of writing.
And now he is more interested in Wang Li's singing style.
Only then did his judgment be correct, this singer named Wang Li did sing rap.
And this song called "On the Plum Side" does not have a clear paragraph boundary, the previous melody is followed by a rap, and there is a sense of unexpected cohesion one after another.
Even as a senior musician, he even gave birth to a kind of "Alas, this section hasn't been sung yet?" No, rap after melody? What's the operation?!" Amazing.
The rap was originally fast-paced, and William Hanks really didn't know which story of Qin Chuan this was, so he simply gave up and listened to the song.
And the next rap that goes up and down did not live up to his expectations, and the rhythmic song put him into a state of enjoying the music.
】
Until he was keenly aware that the melody was changing, Wang Li, who was rapping, also switched from rap to R&B singing very smoothly.
"The flowers falling on the plum side are like snow, who is pitiful, and the wind blows suspense on the willow side, life and death are as people wish..."
In the beautiful area, rap is simply rap, which is judged according to the criteria of articulation, speed, rhythm and content, and does not add other things with bells and whistles.
But in this rap song, this sudden R&B style of singing is more like the finishing touch, bringing unparalleled listening enjoyment to this song.
In particular, there is a lot of harmonic color and rhythm, and William Hanks simply loves this feeling.
So he simply closed his eyes and enjoyed the song with complete devotion.
And when he closed his eyes, he really felt more details.
For example, in the middle part, the opera he didn't know actually used a three-track chorus, with bass, printing, and melodic singing intertwined, and he even felt like he was listening to a small symphony.
Another example is that in one of the sections, the melody can be described as unconventional, divided into four parts every two measures, and with few chord changes in the minor key, the continuation of the lead engine is also just right to avoid the low-level error of the same three notes in a row and the same repeat of three consecutive sections with two repetitions.
Of course, there are more details, and he is afraid that his book friends will not be able to understand the number of words in water, so he simply won't say it.
But he didn't just close his eyes and admire it.
But after a simple rap and the percussion accompaniment of the gong, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Because Wang Li actually entered high-energy rap again.
"I don't know when love will appear in Meibian, in real life or only in dreams, the romance described in the Peony Pavilion is incredible..."
As the rhythm of the gong is getting faster and faster, the speed of Wang Li's rap is also getting faster and faster.
William Hanks simply counted in his heart, and the number of words spit out by this singer named Wang Li was at least 8 words per second.
He didn't count how fast it was (12 words per second), but he hadn't heard such a comfortable rap in a long time.
What's even more commendable is that he heard this lyric very clearly, and it has little to do with the content of this work.
It's a complete freestyle, and it's a freestyle that belongs to Wang Xie.
Of course, this singer also sings very well, presumably Wang Xie deliberately added this freestyle to let this singer show his ability to the fullest.
But William Hanks thinks Wang's goal has been achieved.
He has completely remembered this singer called Wang Li, and if he releases this type of song in the future, the first tool man that comes to mind in his mind is Wang Li.
And with the end of Wang Li's last freestyle, the song has finally ended.
But William Hanks couldn't calm down for a long time.
He reworked the song in his head, and the structure started with rap, added melody, then chorus, and then to opera, and ended with freestyle.
In the end, he came to a conclusion that this is an exclusive American freestyle song by Wang Xie that integrates oriental opera elements and R&B style singing.
This is one of the best songs that blends Eastern and Western cultures.
William Hanks really wants to open Wang Xie's mind now, he doesn't know what kind of imagination Wang Xie has, in order to integrate oriental opera with the rap of the beautiful region.
It's so well integrated.
As a child born in the beautiful district, he is both proud and a little ashamed at the moment.
He is proud that the local music form of the beautiful district has appeared in the Dahua District, a cultural mecca.
And he was ashamed that rap, a niche music form, or a niche music form belonging to the beautiful area, was played in Wang Xie's hands.
Who are the musicians in the beautiful district?
William Hanks doesn't know it now, but he feels the same way that Shinichiro Ikebe felt when he heard "Sea of Flowers".
Presumably, if they discuss this matter in the future, they will have a great resonance.
Soon though, William Hanks sat up straight again.
It's not like no one has ever appeared in Dahua as a form of music, but it's always been an unpopular genre.
In the words of many netizens, that is, "I might as well listen to this as if I listened to the number of treasures".
But Wang Xie has given new life to this form of music, and he doesn't know if the audience is willing to accept it.
So he clicked on the comment section with trembling hands.
"Wow, this song "On the Plum Side" sounds strange, but it's strange and good."
"Haha, I shook my legs like crazy when I listened to this song, it was so cool."
"Is the last stanza sung? I can't read it that fast. ”
"The paragraph of 'falling flowers and snow on the plum side is so good, I have listened to it several times, just to listen to these few sentences, it is great!"
"I always thought that Mr. Wang Xie would write a martial arts song, but I didn't expect him to write a song about "The Peony Pavilion", a routine that I never expected."
"Hahaha, I thought about it for a long time before I remembered that Mr. Qin Chuan actually wrote a book called "The Peony Pavilion".
"It's well written, but it's really niche."
"Wang Xie and Qin Chuan are worthy of true love, and the treasures in the corners can be turned out."
"What's more, Mr. Wang Xie seems to have helped Qin Chuan change this "Peony Pavilion" into various opera versions such as Cantonese opera, Peking opera, Kunqu opera, etc., of course, his original intention may just be to please his mother-in-law."
"Listen carefully, the opera in it is Kunqu Opera, but unfortunately there are not many young people listening to it now."
“……”
Looking at the praise in the comment section, William Hanks finally let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that it's not that netizens don't accept the form of rap, it's mainly that other people write it too badly, who wants to listen to a dialect version of Shulaibao.
Of course, William Hanks didn't stop there.
He also knew:
This song "On the Plum Side" was created based on Qin Chuan's "Peony Pavilion".
The opera in the song is Kunqu Opera.
And.
Wang Xie can even write operas?!
