As the music began, Jiang Chen started singing "Mandarin Duck Play".
"The changing seasons, the chaotic shadows of flowers under the bamboo fence."
"The gentle breeze is just past its season, it feels like I'm still at home."
"Who wrote that letter from our hometown without asking when we would return?"
"Even the old tavern patrons have memories of being thin."
"Who cares about the old feelings under the candlelight? My beloved weeps outside the west window, it is not easy."
"Raising a glass, who will speak to the bright moon about her waiting for you in the distance, waiting for you to add a few more strokes to your pen?"
"I'll wait for you to play a few more tunes, and I'll wait for you to return to your hometown."
"When you pass the imperial examination with your name on the honor roll, I will write a few strokes on the inkstone, and the partridges will cry as the ink falls."
"Who understands the meaning in the melody? The broken string awaits your tying."
"Oh, my little love, don't worry, I'll only ever hold your hand in my life."
"After three rounds of wine, the moon rises above the branches, and my heart is at ease."
"Oh, my dear lady, don't worry, when spring comes, the snow will cover the tower again."
"May we live up to the promise of heaven and earth, and grow old together."
The opening rap surprised many people.
In addition to love songs, ancient style songs, traditional Chinese style songs, inspirational songs, healing songs, and folk songs, Jiang Chen can also rap.
This is a huge surprise for fans.
Jiang Chen has finally ventured into this field.
It turns out that rapping wasn't difficult for him.
It's even a bit simple.
It's so simple that you can just say it.
And it's not slow.
His pronunciation is clear.
And there's rhythm.
It sounds so good.
The Peking Opera-style vocals in the chorus sent chills down everyone's spines.
It sounds too much like a female voice.
This is the Mei Lanfang of our time.
She is a true leading lady.
No one can match him.
"My goodness, I got goosebumps."
"Especially that line, 'Oh, my little lover, don't worry, I'll only hold your sleeves for you in this life,' made me shudder."
"If Jiang Chen didn't have such masculine energy, I really couldn't stand it."
Bai Lu was dumbfounded.
Her husband can even rap.
From now on, if anyone says her husband can't rap, she'll get angry with them.
In addition, the Peking Opera-style vocals in the chorus are also amazing.
If you don't look at it with prejudice, you'll really appreciate this performance.
Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Jing Tian, and Guan Xiaotong all adore Jiang Chen.
This is truly a leading lady in the world of traditional Chinese opera.
His pronunciation was clear, and every line resonated deeply with the listener.
Those who know how to appreciate it will definitely be amazed by Jiang Chen's singing and tone.
Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, and Reba were hearing Jiang Chen rap for the first time.
This was the first time I heard Jiang Chen sing a traditional Chinese song live.
This song blends two different singing styles, which is quite innovative.
Jiang Chen has started to innovate? You can believe it?
I feel like there will be more surprises waiting for them later.
Singers Zhang Jie, Wang Sulong, Zhang Liangying, and Yu Kewei know how amazing this song is.
Jiang Chen has always pursued innovation and has never stopped.
It's impossible for them to catch up with Jiang Chen.
Human energy is limited, and so are theirs.
In particular, none of them are highly educated.
Without the help of professional teachers, it would be absolutely impossible to write a large number of beautiful, cultured, thoughtful, meaningful, and soulful songs.
"A rap performance is one thing, but to sing opera-style songs so well is just despairing."
"Even though we debuted early, we will be surpassed by Jiang Chen one day."
"Let's adjust our mindset; we can't compare to geniuses at all."
Backstage, Han Hong and Sun Nan looked at each other in bewilderment.
They found the opening rap section unremarkable.
After all, they've heard too many rap songs and are already numb to them.
However, the operatic style of the chorus made them feel ashamed.
Although they are veterans in the music industry, they can't capture that feeling in their singing.
No matter how you sing, you can't reach Jiang Chen's amazing level.
"This guy is too freakish!"
"He's practically a modern-day Mei Lanfang."
"This is a true leading lady in the real sense."
"Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi are not true leading actresses."
Despite being mentally prepared, Huang Lei, Peng Peng, and Zhang Zifeng were still amazed.
This is a brand new Chinese-style song.
This is different from the traditional Chinese style songs I sang before.
Jiang Chen doesn't seem to be keen on singing old songs.
For him, any song can be played effortlessly.
He can write songs whenever he wants to sing them.
"As expected of the strongest singer, absolutely amazing."
"The idea that a song can be written in a few minutes is not unfounded."
"Only by having this ability can one continuously sing new songs."
“He doesn’t need to make a living with old songs at all; he can become a millionaire just by singing new songs.”
Cheng Long, Zhen Zidan, and Simon Yam finally understand what traditional Chinese style songs are.
In Hong Kong, the opera they listened to was Cantonese opera.
Cantonese opera shares similarities with Peking opera, Yue opera, and Sichuan opera.
The Peking Opera-style singing in the chorus really gave them goosebumps.
They had heard similar songs in Hong Kong.
However, this is the first time I've heard rap combined with traditional opera singing style.
That's quite interesting.
They like this type of song.
"This Jiang Chen is indeed quite interesting."
"I thought he was just a pretty boy who acted cool and suave, but I didn't expect him to be so talented."
"I'll need to spend more time with him in the future."
"Perhaps we can have a pleasant opportunity to work with him."
Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Guoli all adore Jiang Chen.
The opera singing melted their hearts.
Only the older generation understands and appreciates theatrical culture.
There's a reason why Jiang Chen was invited to sing at the Golden Rooster Awards.
