I believe that many viewers have the same doubts as Mr. Si Chen, why is this "Love That Never Dies" not a Cantonese song? Now let me explain it to you in detail.

Friends who often listen to songs will definitely find a problem, that is, Cantonese songs that are obviously very good, but why are they not as good as they used to be sung in Mandarin?

I think the most important reason is because Cantonese has a lot of tones. Mandarin has 4 tones, while Cantonese has 9 tones, which is quite richer than Mandarin. Moreover, Cantonese still retains the fossil 'into sound' in ancient Chinese that has disappeared in Mandarin, that is, short sounds, such as the common 汐 (jik), 月 (yut), and 的 (dik) in Cantonese lyrics, but these three characters in Mandarin have become long sounds 汐 (xi), 月 (yue), and 的 (de).

And if a song has a lot of high and low pitch changes and long and short tones, the song will be very three-dimensional and will be very beautiful.

But if the Cantonese song is replaced with Mandarin singing, the three-dimensional sense of this syllable collocation will disappear, and the song will naturally not be so good. ”

Qin Yan explained, and the audience was thoughtful, after all, most of the audience at the scene were Yanjing locals, and they didn't know much about Cantonese.

Li Zun finally opened his eyes and nodded again and again.

Compared with Si Chen, who didn't know how to pretend to understand and deceive, Qin Yan undoubtedly had real skills and really knew Cantonese.

Qin Yan paused slightly, and then continued to explain: "By the way, there is also a very important consonant rule for Cantonese songs, which is also not found in Mandarin songs.

As I have just said, Cantonese has 9 tones and 6 tones, such as fen, and Cantonese has nine kinds of tones: fen, fen, xun, burn, fen, hu, fa, and Buddha, and the tones are yin ping, yin shang, yin go, yang ping, yang shang, yang go, yin in, middle in, and yang in. There is a coincidence here, that is, the Cantonese pronunciation of 0-9 is exactly used up to these nine tones, which are 3, 9, 4, 0, 5, 2, 7, 8, and 6.

And these 9 tones are divided into four areas according to low, low, high, and high tones, from low to high are 0, 2, 4, 3 four tones, and the remaining five tones are assigned to 0243 according to the same or approximate pitch, which is called '0243 word filling', all songs can be replaced with 0243 before filling in the lyrics, first occupy the pit, think of the lyrics and then fill in. ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

When Qin Yan said this, the audience applauded in amazement.

It's really a long time to see, but I didn't expect Cantonese songs to have this kind of word-filling rules.

The Heavenly King Li Zun had already stood up excitedly.

"Haha, the afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying. I can't imagine that in this era, there are still young people who know the '0243 word filling'. Qin Yan boy, since you know the '0243 word filling method', then the old man, I will test you, just in the song "Love That Never Dies", 'The rising tides, the wind and frost under the moon, the rhapsody under the night rain, and the slight fragrance of wild flowers', if you were asked to follow the '0243 word filling method', how would you write these four lyrics? Li Zun asked.

Qin Yan showed a confident expression and said, "You always want to test me for a difficult question." Hehe, if I use "0243 word filling" to write, the syllables of these four sentences should be 02404, 24303, 24303, 43303, and finally modify the original lyrics according to these syllables, which can be changed to ......

Well, I think it's easier to understand these lines than to sing them to everyone, and please ask the band teacher to give me a rhythm. ”

In everyone's doubts and expectations, Qin Yan waved his hand at the band when it came, and the latter nodded and directly gave accompaniment.

Qin Yan began his own singing.

"The tide recedes and rises,

The moon is cold and windy and frosty,

The rhapsody of the night rain,

The faint fragrance of wildflowers,

Accompany me in the starry night fantasies,

Fang Zhi didn't need to be too nervous. ”

In just a few words, Qin Yan showed good Cantonese singing skills, and what is even more surprising is that it is clear that Qin Yan has only slightly changed the order of the lyrics, but it sounds much better than the original Si Chen's version, and it feels like a completely different song.

The audience applauded warmly, and they already understood a little in their hearts.

No wonder the three judges didn't want to comment on Si Chen's singing, and Li Zun unceremoniously criticized Si Chen.

After such a circle, it turned out that Si Chen didn't even understand the rules of composition and lyrics in Cantonese, and his song "Love That Never Dies" was obviously just a Mandarin song, but he forcibly changed it to Cantonese singing, so in the end, the tiger could not be an anti-dog, but the three judges missed it in front of him.

When the scene quieted down, Qin Yan asked Xiang Li Zun.

"Teacher Li Zun, do I want to continue?"

"Haha, enough is enough, Qin boy, you are really powerful enough, let my old man say the rest himself."

Li Zun motioned for Qin Yan to go back, and then continued: "Everyone should remember what Qin Xiaozi said about the consonant rules just now, and the words he filled in just now are in line with this rule, we can easily find from Qin Yan's singing just now that the tone of the lyrics he rewrote is completely consistent with the tone of his usual speech, so that the song will not sound weird and distorted, so authentic Cantonese songs will never hear the lyrics wrong."

Mandarin songs, on the other hand, have only four syllables, which cannot cover all vocal ranges, and can only be adapted to the rhythm through pitch transposition, which also makes it easy to mishear the lyrics, such as 'gossip' is easy to hear as 'six-eyed flying fish'.

Having said that, let's go back and look at Si Chen's original version of the lyrics, hehe......"

Li Zun stopped at this point, then shook his head and looked at Si Chen, whose face was flushed.

Obviously, if he doesn't continue, he will save face for Si Chen.

In other words, Li Zun is saving face for Qu Da Sito.

After all, Si Chen doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and now he can be regarded as having exhausted his foreign appearance, and he has also lost Si Tou's face.

At this moment, all the audience looked at Si Chen in the center of the stage with a disdainful look, feeling that this guy was really embarrassed today.

The matter of Si Chen's "beating a woman" two days ago has not passed, and now he has been killed by Qin Yan and Li Zun together, and the fact that he is "cheating and not knowing how to pretend to understand" is really a loss of face.

The stage is, the already aggrieved to the extreme, Si Chen can't hold back anymore.

If he doesn't think of a way, how can he have the face to mix in the entertainment industry in the future.

"Teacher Li Zun, I don't agree with your statement! What age is it now, and the old-fashioned '0243 word filler', which restricts the lyricist's play, should have been removed a long time ago! In addition, it is now the world of Mandarin songs, and Cantonese songs must be integrated with Mandarin songs in order to survive, so I feel that the lyrics I wrote are in line with the current trend of music development, and your kind of lyrics is wrong, and you are turning back the wheel of history! Si Chen argued loudly!

After listening to Si Chen's words, the audience was in an uproar.

Most of them think that Si Chen is arguing with strong words, and a person who can't even speak Cantonese is qualified to talk about the trend of Cantonese song development?

What's more, Qin Yan's lyrics that have been revised according to the Cantonese lyrics rules just now are indeed much better than Si Chen's original version.

Of course, there are also some people who think that what Si Chen said makes some sense.

After all, times are progressive, and many of the rules of the past should also evolve with the times.

As a result, there was a mess in the audience, and many people looked at Qin Yan and Li Zun, waiting for their explanations.

After all, Si Chen denied what they said before, and also defined their opinions as "feudal dross" and "turning back history".

But at this moment, Qin Yan and Li Zun had no intention of justifying, the two glanced at each other, and then smiled in unison.

Hehe, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, so why waste spit?

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Si Chen thought that they were dumbfounded by what he said.

The audience was also full of doubts, and they all speculated that Si Chen's statement was really reasonable?

At this moment, Qu Bo, a famous music critic who had not spoken, stood up suddenly.

"Enough! I didn't want to say it, after all, Sito and I had a good relationship back then, but now that you are so unrepentant, I will teach Sito a good lesson on how to behave and do things! ”

Qu Bo's shouting made everyone stunned, and everyone knew that something big was going to happen.

But everyone didn't expect that Qu Bo's next words directly killed Si Chen with a knife and nailed him to the pillar of shame in history forever.
