Chapter 417 Professional

You Woxing obviously had a very high opinion of Gu Qingge's stage performance this time!

Of course, he is very well-known in the Chinese music scene in this world. In fact, when he appeared on the show with long hair and an artistic style, there were barrages of comments saying "Dad Qu", of course there were also barrages of comments saying "Scumbag", and there were also barrages saying that this season's "Road to the King of Singers" is really interesting. After all, You Woxing's ex-wife Yang Xiaolian is also here, and they want to see how You Woxing will evaluate Yang Xiaolian.

Anyway, many viewers who like to watch melons are already waiting to watch them. The breakups and reunions, love and hate between You Woxing and Yang Xiaolian have always been a hot topic of discussion and confusion.

But it must be admitted that without You Woxing writing songs for her, Yang Xiaolian would not have become a queen of the music scene. Of course, many of You Woxing's songs can only be performed perfectly by Yang Xiaolian, because those songs were written specifically for her.

In fact, the combination of these two people complements each other. They have always been a very tacit partner and have collaborated on many classic songs.

Unfortunately, no one expected that they would go their separate ways one day.

For Gu Qingge's fans, You Woxing's high evaluation naturally made them excited.

It's just because You Woxing's status in the pop music scene is so high that his evaluation of singers has always been very strict and objective. He will point out any flaws without hesitation, and the singers can only endure and accept his criticism. His extremely high musical literacy makes his criticism always to the point.

You Woxing is not the kind of musician who deliberately finds fault with others, so many singers are actually willing to accept his criticism, which can help them further improve themselves.

But this time, Gu Qingge's stage performance even won praise from such a demanding top musician as You Woxing. What does this show?

This shows that Gu Qingge's stage performance this time not only shocked the audience, but also received high praise from even the most professional musicians!

From this perspective, Gu Qingge is really amazing. Her songs are both commercial and artistic.

In addition to You Woxing, He Shan, a music professor at the Central University of the Arts, also commented on Gu Qingge.

He Shan was an old-school person who had never heard of Gu Qingge at the "expert meeting" before. His attitude was criticized by the barrage of comments.

"This old professor from the Central Academy of Arts has never heard of Gu Qingge. I'm really looking forward to his reaction after watching Gu Qingge's performance."

"This He Shan from Zhongyi is blatantly biased. He recommended Li Jie over Gu Qingge."

"This professor places too much emphasis on seniority. He's rejecting Gu Qingge, who's not even 20 years old yet can participate in 'The Road to the King of Songs'!"

"Ge Ge, please slap me in the face and prove yourself with your singing!"

…

Of course, He Shan also listened to Gu Qingge's "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon" in its entirety. After listening to it, he had only one thought in his mind: why is this genius from Huayi? It would be great if he was from our Zhongyi!

This Gu Qingge, although younger than Li Jie, is undoubtedly more talented than Li Jie...

Of course, He Shan would not directly say that Gu Qingge is better than Li Jie, but since Gu Qingge's next competitor is Li Jie, he is a little worried about Li Jie's ranking in this round.

He Shan commented:

"Let me first interpret the lyrics of the song 'Left Hand Pointing to the Moon' -

Pointing at the moon is a diagram of the six realms of reincarnation, in which Sakyamuni Buddha explains to the world the method of transcending reincarnation, except that in the diagram the Buddha uses his right hand.

Holding a flower in his left hand and dancing with a sword in his right hand is the image of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

The snow that has been falling between the eyebrows for ten thousand years refers to the white hairs of the reward body of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The ferry across the Wangchuan River refers to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

In Buddhism, "trouble" is used to express people's confusion, and confusion is caused by the karma created by greed, anger, and ignorance, which will eventually lead people to hell. Red lotus in Buddhism corresponds to the Red Lotus Hell, which is the very hot one, but in the lyrics it should be a metaphor for the secular world.

Even so, he is still unwilling to purify his six senses and still wants to have distracting thoughts. It can be seen that although he knows that he is going to hell, he is still fearless. What he insists on is more important than not going to hell.

In fact, a one-part song would not use such a wide range of tones.

Generally speaking, songs with one section give people a rather bland feeling, because the limited length does not allow for more phrases to be used to express the emotions.

And considering the singing problem, if the vocal range is too wide, it is easy to have inconsistent vocal ranges and a strong sense of fragmentation when singing in such relatively short sentences.

but!

These are not a problem for Gu Qingge.

She can still express the emotions of the song layer by layer, and still sing it smoothly from the high notes back to the low notes quickly.

Therefore, only she can break the convention and create such a song. If someone else were to cover it, the problem might not be that they can't sing it, but that they would run out of breath before reaching the high notes, or there would be a sense of running out of breath when switching from high notes to low notes. It would be impossible to achieve the same relaxed and natural feeling as her.

I have never paid attention to this very young singer Gu Qingge before, which is a huge loss for me personally.

Now, I know her completely.

Gu Qingge's reputation as a talented woman is well-deserved!"

I have to say that although He Shan is an old-school person, as a music professor at the Central University of the Arts, his cultural literacy and personal experience are quite impressive!

The other experts only commented on Gu Qingge in a general way. For example, a well-known radio DJ commented like this:

"This song 'Left Hand Pointing to the Moon' was written by her herself, and the whole melody is so catchy!

She effortlessly showcases all vocal ranges, expressions, and techniques. She's beautiful, creative, and a fantastic singer!"

I feel like any music fan can make such an evaluation.

However, He Shan started directly from the lyrics of "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon"!

When the audience listened to this song before, they could hear the Zen meaning, and there was also a Sanskrit sound in the middle. But for an old professor like He Shan to directly connect the lyrics to a specific Bodhisattva, this can only be said to have a very deep cultural accumulation!

This kind of interpretation is really not something that ordinary music fans can come up with. People haven't even bothered to savor the lyrics of this song, they are just intoxicated by the melody...

No wonder the barrage at this moment has become like this——

"Professional! Everyone, put professionalism on the public screen!"

"Professor He Shan, although he didn't think Gu Qingge was qualified to participate in 'The Road to the King of Songs' during the expert meeting, his current comments are still quite objective!"

"He Shan's expression changes so quickly, it's really funny. But seeing him praise the talented Gu so much, I feel so comfortable all over!"

"Professor He Shan is truly capable, worthy of being a professor at the Central Academy of Arts. He must be wishing Gu Qingge were also a student at the Central Academy of Arts..."

"The slap in the face came too quickly!"
