“Yeah, not bad!”
“It’s a very creative angle!”
The others murmured and nodded in agreement.
Qian Keli looked down, and the moment he heard the main song, he was quickly attracted by the words.
As his eyes moved, his expression gradually changed, from initial calmness, to slight surprise, and then to shock! "Read it, Lao Qian!" Shan Xiang couldn't help but urge.
Qian Keli seemed to be frozen for a moment. He took a deep breath and looked deeply at Lu Chen. A smile inexplicably rose at the corner of his mouth, as if he had experienced an unknown shock in a very short period of time.
Then he softly read out the first line of the lyrics: "I started writing about this country, and the blood of our nation is tens of thousands of miles long. Over the past six hundred years, the descendants of the dragon have gone through wind and rain."
His voice was not loud, but his pronunciation was clear and melodious, as if it had its own sound effects, which immediately caused an echo in this quiet space! Shan Xiang frowned slightly, and all his thoughts were immersed in the lyrics, constantly dissecting, interpreting, and savoring them.
Then my heart skipped a beat.
I feel that the first sentence of the lyrics is awe-inspiring and unique!
"This land" is the land where my Huaxia family has lived for generations, and it is the home that countless ancestors have watered with their sweat and wisdom.
Starting to write means opening a new chapter! The bloodline of the nation is tens of thousands of miles long, what a grand concept!
Our nation has been passed down for thousands of years, and its bloodline has never been interrupted. No matter how many storms it has experienced, the descendants of the dragon have always held on to this land and passed on the national culture and spirit.
And "several centuries and six hundred years".
It also condenses the countless historical changes witnessed by the Forbidden City into one sentence! It is written as a living history book, recording the ups and downs it has experienced.
After reading just the first few sentences, Shan Xiang was shocked by the refined and beautiful writing style, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of pride.
It seems as if I can see those brave and fearless ancestors writing magnificent chapters on the stage of history.
"Good! These sentences are well written!"
He couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Qian Keli continued reading: "This central axis of the capital is like a gentleman's unshakable integrity, and the glazed tiles on the Nine Dragon Wall. History has declined and risen from here!"
"boom!"
This time, it was even more explosive! Shan Xiang's head buzzed, he couldn't believe it! The momentum and structure of the second paragraph were even more unrestrained! The central axis of the capital, just five words, named the location of the Forbidden City, the writing was brilliant, and the portrayal was as sharp as a scalpel! The next sentence described the Forbidden City from a "geographical location" to a gentleman's integrity, adding emotion to the image!
The artistic conception is so unbelievable! The sentence "On the Nine Dragon Wall and the colored glaze on the tiles, history declines and rises again" is even more eye-catching!
It describes the history in the images and embodies the freehand brushwork in the details! It is unforgettable!
Shan Xiang took a breath of cold air.
Lu Chen only took a brief tour of the Forbidden City with him, and he had such a profound and accurate understanding?! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it!
It is no exaggeration to say that even famous writers cannot write short sentences as precise as Lu Chen's! Because Shan Xiangzhen has tried, but the effect is really poor.
It can be said that these lyrics really touched Shan Xiang's heart.
Therefore, this also made him feel a strong sense of entanglement! On the one hand, he was looking forward to the follow-up excitement, but on the other hand, he was afraid that the follow-up would not be as good as before, and would end in a whimper.
However, Shan Xiang's worries were obviously unnecessary.
Because next, something even more explosive is coming!
Qian Keli's voice became louder and louder: "This dragon scale once fell to the ground with a clang like broken ice. A piece of scale represents an inch of heart, and I can't bear to listen to the story!"
The whole office seemed to be swept by a clanging atmosphere! After hearing this line of lyrics, Shan Xiang's hands trembled violently.
Dragon scales symbolize the nation and culture, and also symbolize this country! Once upon a time, these dragon scales may have fallen to the ground for various reasons, as painful as broken ice.
But every dragon scale carries an inch of national heart.
Those drifting stories are the pain of history and the memory of the nation.
However! It is these experiences that make the Forbidden City more precious and the national culture more tenacious!
Shan Xiang's eyes instantly turned red! What beautiful lyrics! Not only did they capture the shape, but they also captured the soul!
It writes about history and background! The sentence "I can't bear to listen" is an incredible way to shape a flat perspective and a sentence into a very three-dimensional one, giving the emotions a place to settle and creating a strong resonance!
Breathtakingly beautiful!
It can be said that up to now, there is not a single word in the lyrics that is not interpreted perfectly!
In just a few sentences, the charm of the Forbidden City that Shan Xiang had been longing for was expressed!
Can such lyrics really be written in just forty minutes? ! Obviously, Lu Chen said with his actions: Yes! Without waiting for Shan Xiang to calm down.
The following lyrics come again: "People observe etiquette and keep their hearts calm, the melodious guqin plays the heart of a gentleman. I am awake and waiting for the echo, circling the great Chinese civilization."
This line of lyrics instantly made Shan Xiang's mood fluctuate! From this extreme to that extreme! People observe etiquette and keep their hearts calm, which is the traditional virtue of the nation.
Lu Chen seems to want to tell his fans with this sentence that in this noisy world, we need to maintain inner peace and adhere to propriety and morality so as not to be confused by the disturbances of the outside world.
The lyrics are profound in culture, but the truth is simple!
The melodious sound of the guqin seems to come from time and space, playing out the nobleness and indifference of a gentleman's heart.
At this moment, although Shan Xiang could not hear the sound of the piano, he could hear the beautiful melody echoing in his ears.
It’s as if I see the ancient literati playing the piano and reciting poems in a quiet courtyard, free and peaceful.
It was not until the second half of the sentence: "I am awake and waiting for the echo, circling around the vast Chinese civilization" that Shan Xiang felt deafened!
It seems to be telling him that as the inheritors of civilization, we should also be aware of our responsibilities, wait for the echo of history, and let the great Chinese civilization shine more brilliantly in the new era!
Could a 25-year-old boy really write these lyrics?! At this moment, Shan Xiang was really stunned!
Completely confused!
The lyrics are beyond description of how beautiful they are.
Give a warm round of applause to Lu Chen.
…
"Respect the past I put down my pen
The vast yellow land of the East The ink splashed in the mountains and rivers wiped away
I only see the rugged Chinese spirit..."
…
Qian Keli continued to read, resoundingly! Every line of the lyrics was as precious as gold!
In that lyrics.
The light in Shan Xiang's eyes became brighter and brighter! Surging! Magnificent! Shocking!
Until the last paragraph of the whole lyric, which Qian Keli recited with great enthusiasm: "Lift up the destiny of the nation and revive it again, travel the world to find dragon scales, and let the dragon's bloodline grow into a forest!"
At this moment, it completely and thoroughly exploded!
The surging blood surged wildly in everyone's chest! A burning emotion spread in everyone's heart!
Everyone present felt their brains go blank! Only in their minds, the roar of dragons and tigers remained, rising straight to the sky! This sleeping Chinese true dragon!
It was as if the lyrics of this song contained the most deafening dragon roar !
At this moment, everyone stood up! Lu Chen clapped crazily!
It seemed as if he would not stop until his palms were smashed to pieces!
"Teacher Lu Chen, the lyrics of this song are so well written and so shocking!"
Shan Xiang rushed forward and held Lu Chen's hand, excited beyond words.
From Lu Chen's perspective, the old dean, who was even a few years older than Qian Keli, actually had tears in his eyes!
"The lyrics of this song really impressed me! Mr. Lu Chen, I can say without exaggeration that asking you to write this song is definitely the best decision I have made this year! Thank you! Thank you very much!"
The applause around became even louder!
Everyone present was also overwhelmed with emotion.
They were all moved by the lyrics, impressed by the cultural connotations, and truly amazed by Lu Chen's creative talent.
It can be said that this song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" is no longer just a musical work.
These lyrics are simply art! Among all the songs in the domestic entertainment industry, there is no song whose lyrics have such a profound interpretation of culture and high praise for the national spirit!
But this song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" did it!
Just by looking at the lyrics, this song can inspire love for the country and pride in national culture! What a terrible penetrating power of words!
Qian Keli made the final statement at this time: "This song sings the momentum of the Oriental dragon taking off!"
Shan Xiang nodded: "Yes, it sings the momentum of the Oriental dragon taking off! Well said! Oh, no, it should be written about the momentum of the Oriental dragon taking off?"
But after thinking about it again, he understood: "I see, it's a metaphor. Look at my brain. I was so excited that I was a little incoherent. Don't be offended, Teacher Lu Chen."
But Qian Keli shook his head: "I am not using a metaphor, I am just singing! This is a simple musical notation with a melody, so when I read it, I have already sung the song silently in my heart. You hear the lyrics, and I hear the singing!"
As soon as these words came out.
The whole place was silent.
Shan Xiang's pupils suddenly shrank and he said, "What! In just forty minutes, he not only wrote the lyrics, but also the music?"
As an outsider, he naturally didn't know what simplified musical notation was.
I thought the part with the strokes and lines was a special template.
Qian Keli smiled and said, "This is not just lyrics, but a complete musical notation! In other words, it has sound."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Chen.
Although the emotions were concealed very well.
But the peripheral vision in his eyes still couldn't suppress the turmoil in his heart.
The stormy waves that have been surging since the beginning! "Lu Chen, how about you sing a cappella for them to hear?"
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Lu Chen.
Shan Xiang's eyes lit up: "Teacher Lu Chen, is this okay?"
Lu Chen smiled and stood up: "What's wrong with that? Dean Shan, everyone, let me show you my ugliness now."
"Teacher Lu Chen, you are too modest!!"
When Lu Chen took the musical notation, there was a moment of silence at the scene.
Everyone stared at him with wide eyes! Lu Chen cleared his throat, looked at the music score, and got into the mood!
The next second, the song started: "I write about this country!"
Even though it’s just a cappella!
But as soon as Lu Chen opened his mouth, it was like the roar of a dragon from heaven and earth!
The whole Dragon City is singing at this moment!
