Chapter 86 Li Xiao: Chu Ci is sure to win
The January Spring Festival period in the music industry, also known as the "War of the Gods" in the industry, finally ended in the early morning of February when the charts were locked.
"it is finally over."
“This year’s War of the Gods is also exciting, but the end of the War of the Gods also means the beginning of a new season. Has the ranking changed now?”
"not yet."
“There is usually a delay of a few minutes in season leaderboard updates.”
“Those three top-notch new songs have been released, and they are all recommended now. As expected, they are all old-fashioned.”
"listen and see."
“The quality of this Shinhwa song is quite good!”
“I’m listening to Nathan’s song, and the quality is nothing to say!”
“Listen to this song produced by Tianguang, and it seems that the quality is on par with "The Snow on the Broken Bridge"!"
“It’s a little bit worse.”
“Chu Ci’s new song has also been released?”
"Fafa, my software has paid attention to Chu Ci. The name of his new song is "Luzhou Moon"?"
“Luzhou month?”
“I suddenly thought of Bai Di’s “Moonlight”.”
"It's interesting. Chu Ci's new song seems to be written about moonlight."
“Isn’t it plagiarism?”
“Hahahaha, it’s not that bad, it’s probably just a coincidence of elements. After all, many ancient songs use moonlight as their theme.”
In conversation.
Many people started to listen to the song.
At this time, Zhou Hanjin, the king of Tianguang Singer, was making love on the bed with his girlfriend Li Xiao. The bed sheets were very messy at the moment.
Sudden.
Li Xiao’s cell phone rang.
She opened the page on her mobile phone and saw a software prompt [The Chu Ci you are following has released a new song! 】
“Are you still following him?”
Zhou Hanjin curled his lips slightly and said.
Li Xiao nodded, then followed the prompts and clicked in, and immediately saw Chu Ci’s new song message.
Lyrics written by: Chu Ci
Composer: Chu Ci
Arranger: Songs of Chu
Song title: Luzhou Moon
As expected, it was a standard match for a singer-songwriter. The corners of Li Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and then she clicked play. Regardless of the competition for rankings in December, she still liked this Chu Ci very much.
Zhou Hanjie said nothing.
His ears were perked up.
The intro of the song started.
Zhou Hanjin muttered: "Guzheng, guqin, viola, electronic keyboard, piano, and there seems to be an erhu guitar and drum set. The arrangement is slightly better than "The Snow on the Broken Bridge", but this guy's singing skills are actually quite amateur, but the song is simple, so many people I just can’t hear it.”
“Listen to the song.”
Li Xiao interrupted Zhou Hanjin.
Zhou Hanjin curled his lips, obviously not too fond of Chu Ci. At this time, a song sounded in his ears:
“When I was a child, I stole someone’s light by chiseling the wall.
Now I am reading leisurely under the lamp, and my red sleeves add fragrance
Having lived a half-life of fame is just a lie..."
Lan Xing also had a similar story about chiseling a wall to borrow light. Zhou Han could understand it, but he was a little confused on the second sentence, but even Meng Dai Gui could understand it. Maybe he was studying hard and was too busy to comb his hair?
Look at the following words...
Damn, the writing is so awesome!
No matter how cold Zhou Hanjin is about Chu Ci, he has to admit that this guy is really good at writing lyrics. He doesn't have the rhetoric of most ancient songs, but tells stories in a eloquent way.
“The haze and orioles fly along the road in March, and the grass grows
I saw my hometown in the flying catkins
I don’t know if you are still in Luyang
A strand of black hair is treasured for a lifetime..."
There was no black spot in the lyrics, which only made Zhou Han feel miserable, so he tried to find fault with the melody, but after listening to these two verses, there was nothing wrong with it!
Even…
It seems better than "The Snow on the Broken Bridge"?
Just when Zhou Hanjin was thinking this, Li Xiao said softly: "This song should be written later than his last one, and the melody creation is more mature."
It’s not that the singer can’t write songs.
It’s just that his writing is not as good as those of big-name songwriters.
But no matter how a diva like Li Xiao can't write songs, her appreciation of composition is still undoubted. Of course, the same goes for Zhou Hanjin. He agrees with every word of his girlfriend, although he is still unhappy. This Chu Ci seems to be really good. thing.
“The lovers on the bridge are in and out of pairs”
Hong Yao by the bridge sighs that the night is too long
The moon is shaking and people are hesitant
A song of mourning came from Wupengli..."
This is the last verse of the main song. The previous narrative begins to explode emotionally here, and the chorus is introduced, and the melody becomes more and more catchy:
“Luzhou moonlight shines on my heart
The moon under the moon is no longer what it used to be
Too many hurts are hard to express
Sigh, it was just commonplace at that time..."
When I listened to "The Snow on the Broken Bridge" before, Li Xiao's biggest impression was that this Chu Ci is very good at using lyrics and sounds to depict a sense of picture.
This time.
The picture depicted in Chu Ci is more concrete. The scholar who has become famous returns to his hometown and meets the heroine who is "a treasure of a lifetime" under the moonlight. However, after many years, she seems to have changed, or maybe she has changed herself. It was full of thousands of words, but at this moment, I suddenly didn’t know where to start.
However, the next lyrics broke Li Xiao's understanding, or the artistic conception was more hazy, and the imagination space became vast:
“Luzhou moonlight, pear blossoms, cool rain
Who are you next to now?
The moonlight of my hometown is deeply imprinted on my heart
But I can’t shed the tears I once shed..."
It turns out that the reunion between the two was just the singer’s imagination! As the years go by, your appearance has gradually become blurry to me. So what if we actually meet?
Time has changed.
Perhaps you are married, and I have a partner by my side. What can be regretted are memories, but what can be heard is mourning. The connection between seeing and not seeing is very subtle, contrasting reality and falsehood, and vividly showing the hesitation of people's hearts.
At this time.
Zhou Hanjin suddenly said: "The drum beats are so dense."
Li Xiao was dumbfounded. He was deeply moved by the content of the song, but Zhou Hanjin was paying attention to what instruments were used in the arrangement.
Ancient style songs are about mood.
It just so happens that this stinky man doesn’t understand emotions.
“Don’t you think this lyrics is better than “Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow”, or don’t you find a wonderful design in this lyrics?”
Li Xiao asked.
Zhou Hanjin nodded: "It feels like an upgraded version of "The Snow on the Broken Bridge". Both the arrangement and the lyrics have been upgraded. For example, I just said that the drum beats are very dense. This is one of the reasons why the song is ear-catching, because it will be treated this way. Make the sense of rhythm stronger..."
“I’ll tell you the lyrics!”
“The lyrics are quite good. [Sigh: It was common at the time]. This sentence is quite interesting.”
“You may still be saved.”
This sentence does have a deep artistic conception, almost poetic language, or the whole song is full of poetry.
It’s just that neither of them knew it.
This sentence is a quote from Nalan Xingde's "Huanxisha·Who Thinks of the West Wind Cooling Alone", "Don't be frightened by wine and fall asleep heavily in the spring. Gambling books will disappear and the fragrance of splashed tea will be gone. At that time, it was just ordinary."
This is poetry.
It’s a pity that there is no Nalan Xingde in this world.
While the song continued, Zhou Hanjin did not talk nonsense this time, but just felt silently, with some inexplicable throbbing in his heart. He used a very vulgar sigh:
Poor, it’s a heart-pounding feeling.
This heartbeat feeling gave Zhou Hanjin some myocardial infarction.
Because he suddenly thought, if he came across this song on the season chart...
Can you win?
Zhou Hanjin was a little unsure.
What displeased him the most was precisely this uncertainty.
Zhou Hanjin suddenly remembered that his girlfriend had said before that there was a wonderful design in the lyrics, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. "Where is the wonderful design?"
"end."
Li Xiao’s eyes were dark.
Zhou Hanjin was even more puzzled: "The ending?"
At this time, the song ended, and Li Xiao said word by word: "Light, window, fragrance, false, long, country, Yang, Tibetan, double..."
What is the last word of each lyric?
Isn’t it just rhyming?
Zhou Hanjin was thinking like this, but the next moment he suddenly exclaimed: "The pronunciation of the end of every line of this guy's lyrics is ang!"
This design is indeed exquisite!
Chu Ci must be a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
No wonder the pressure on Yun’s feet feels so comfortable, it turns out there is another reason!
This lyric is amazing. The pronunciation at the end of the sentence in the whole song all ends with ang, but there is no sense of being forced. Everything seems to be natural. It not only tells the story in the song well, but also uses the skills of writing lyrics. And the cultural heritage of the lyricist is revealed!
“Now believe it.”
Li Xiao sighed with emotion: "This is a very scary newcomer. It may not be worse than your Bai Di. Just like you said that the drum beats are very dense, but the use of piano is also just right. It incorporates this modern atmosphere and combines it with classical instruments." Adding an antique charm, the two complement each other and each has its own place.”
Professionals have many levels of analysis when listening to songs.
Zhou Hanjin said thoughtfully: "No wonder this song has a slow and medium tempo, mainly to echo the lyrics. The drum beats are like the reading of sentences in poetry recitation, which makes people feel a sense of ups and downs. He not only When I write songs, I also write poetry.”
He had not thought of this part before.
It was only after my girlfriend prompted me to wake up.
Of course, if it were "Chu Ci" himself listening to the two chatting here, he would probably look confused, and finally say "fuck you, that's awesome..."
"Another point!"
After admitting that this guy did have some ability, Zhou Hanjin calmed down and said, "Do you feel that Chu Ci's singing skills seem to have improved a little bit compared to before?"
"A little."
Li Xiao nodded, "This song is actually more difficult than "The Snow on the Broken Bridge". The main difficulty is that it is in a higher key. He sang it in falsetto and the tone was maintained very well. This is indeed an improvement."
“But still weak.”
Zhou Hanjin smiled and said that it was just a little better than "The Snow on the Broken Bridge". Maybe this guy also knew that he was not good at singing, so he wrote this kind of ancient style songs that were not difficult to sing.
“It doesn’t matter at all.”
Li Xiao took a deep breath, "Even you and I think this song is so good, so is there anyone else on the season list who could be Chu Ci's opponent?"
Zhou Hanjin was silent.
There is no singer king or queen in this month's season list, only three first-line singers, from Tianguang, Shinhwa and Nathan.
Those three people are really there, and there is a high probability that they cannot stop Chu Ci...
“Let’s listen and see.”
Always listen to the new songs of those three before making a judgment.
Li Xiao nodded, and then he and Zhou Hanjin took turns listening to the works of the three first-line singers.
Finish listening.
Li Xiao said without hesitation: "Chu Ci won."
Zhou Hanjin didn’t say anything, but he acquiesced in his girlfriend’s judgment. This was a new song with a better overall quality than “Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow”, and there was basically no reason to lose.
Depend on!
Is what this guy got really Bai Di's script?
I recommend a friend's book "Into Unscience", a scholarly article that changed the history of science and technology. If you are interested, you can read it.
