That burst of applause!
That frenzy!
Again to an incredible degree.
The entire night sky was boiling.
"Thanks!"
On the stage, Lu Chen bowed to the audience.
…
"So this is the experiment he was talking about."
After listening to the entire song.
Qian Keli, Lu Jianguo, and too many other musicians finally understood what Lu Chen meant by “a new attempt”.
If we talk about the previous national style works such as "Blue and White Porcelain".
It is to combine ancient style and popular music, and create a new national style based on the theory of "three ancients and three new".
Then this song "Jiangnan" further integrates traditional Chinese style and love songs.
It turns out that the traditional pentatonic scale can also be used to write such modern pop music.
“It’s simply breathtaking!”
Lu Jianguo was deeply shocked.
He didn't know how many more surprises Lu Chen would bring!
But the only thing that is certain is that every surprise he gives is a cognitive astonishment! "Seven Miles of Fragrance" has already been a complete astonishment.
As a result, this song "Jiangnan" is even better than "Qilixiang"! In this variety show tonight, Lu Chen actually brought two epoch-making masterpieces in one go!
And the advantage of these two songs is that they truly have unbeatable melodies!
What does "melody is invincible" mean? The fury and excitement in the overseas live broadcast room at this moment is the most vivid answer! ...
——【Endless aftertaste! 】
——【Longguo music is really mysterious and great! 】
——【It impressed me! 】
——【I want to go to Dragon Country, I want to go to Jiangnan! 】
——[The lyrics of this song are really hard to understand! I don’t understand what they mean.]
——【If you really like this song, you shouldn’t complain or criticize it. You should take the initiative to learn Chinese and truly feel its beauty! 】
——【Yes, that's right! Only someone like me who has studied Chinese can fully understand what this song is about! It's really beautiful! 】
Before he knew it, the number of people online in the overseas live broadcast room had soared to 80 million! And what was particularly surprising to Han Youshang was that
The overseas live broadcast room of "Microphone" after the initial surge in the number of viewers.
On the contrary, when he was singing Chinese songs during this stretch of the journey, he entered the second frenzy phase.
What’s even more incredible is that the retention rate during this period is much higher than any time before.
So Han Youshang had every reason to believe it.
It’s not that Longguo Music can’t go global!
But before that, there was not enough good music to attract overseas fans! If the melody is good enough!
Even foreigners will fall madly in love with it.
For example, "Qilixiang" and "Jiangnan"! From the comments on the barrage, it is not difficult to see that Lu Chen seems to be creating an unprecedented Dragon Country fever!
He is single-handedly raising Dragon Country music to a world-class level!
…
And now, on stage.
When Lawrence curiously asked what the unique instrument in the prelude was, Lu Chen explained, "It's called a dongxiao, an ancient traditional instrument of our Longguo."
Lawrence and others said the instrument was incredible.
"The music of Dragon Country is an infinite treasure!"
Howard, a professor of music at Berklee, expressed deep emotion.
"Mr. Lu Chen, I also have a question for you."
Professor Zhang Han of Longguo Music also asked: "There is a line in your lyrics, 'circle, circle, circle', which puzzles me, but strangely, it fits the song very well and is a memorable anchor. So I want to ask, what does this line mean?"
As soon as these words came out.
Several other judges also suddenly became curious.
That’s right, the translation of these lyrics also left them completely confused.
This is completely different from the lyrics of Western pop music, and is not in the same system or category.
They simply can't read it, let alone understand it.
But the uniqueness of this lyric makes it very different from the whole song.
"This line of lyrics is actually quite easy to understand. I used the Chinese words 'symbolism' and 'metaphor'. Jiangnan is a water town, so it must be raining. Can you imagine, when raindrops fall on the ground, will they create circles of ripples? That's the origin of the 'circles, circles, circles'. I wrote it this way to parallel the following line 'every day, every year, every day'."
As soon as Lu Chen finished his explanation, not only did the judges suddenly understand, but all the fans also understood.
"Great! Now I understand everything after you explained it like that. I was wondering why this line of lyrics is so weird, but so appropriate in this context. So that's what's going on."
Professor Zhang Han couldn't help but show a look of admiration and respect! To be able to write lyrics to this level, one can imagine how sophisticated and ingenious Lu Chen is!
The other judges also roughly understood it.
"Mr. Lu Chen, Professor Zhang Han, I know the lyrics of your Dragon Country music are very sophisticated, but do they need to be sophisticated to this extent?!"
Writing lyrics like this was simply incomprehensible to Lawrence and others.
Their Western music never pays so much attention to the lyrics.
"Professor Lawrence, this is the charm of Chinese!"
Howard gave a thumbs up.
"Well, it seems that it's not that Dragon Country's music is not good enough, but that the aesthetic threshold of Dragon Country's music is too high!"
I saw that "Seven Miles of Fragrance" and "Jiangnan" conquered these top professors with their unique charm.
Lu Chen was also modest in a limited way.
Next, there is the last song left for tonight! That is: "The Greatest Work"! If "Seven Miles of Fragrance" and "Jiangnan" can both receive good recognition.
Then Lu Chen has reason to believe it.
This song will totally win them over!
However, before singing this song, Lu Chen had a piano solo, so the stage had to be set up, the piano had to be brought up, and the costumes had to be simply changed.
"So, please wait a moment!"
The stage lights dimmed again and the staff worked non-stop to set up the scene.
…
"Fuck! Fuck! We have to take action! We can't wait any longer! Absolutely not wait any longer!"
"That's right! We have to take action! I told you not to let him sing Chinese songs! Damn it! The Dragon people are too insidious!"
Looking at the countless viewers in the comment section who were attracted by Longguo Music.
A group of overseas executives finally couldn't hold back any longer.
I never expected that this variety show would have such a sinister trick! Using the popularity of Taylor Swift and Rena, the purpose is to export Dragon Country music!
This is absolutely intolerable! At this moment, there is no need to consider or hesitate! Everyone's opinions are highly unified!
This live broadcast room must be killed as soon as possible!
Even if it means repeating the same price as last time!
We must get him! We can't let Lu Chen continue to sing the Dragon National Anthem in front of the whole world! His threat is too great! ...
And on the domestic Internet.
#Lu Chen conquers foreigners with Dragon Country music# This short title has already become a hit!
All Dragon people are witnessing an even more miraculous moment! Will it be even more explosive? ! Will it? ! This is almost the only grand event in Dragon music history! At this moment, the topic has reached its peak!
It went viral on all major platforms! It even reached the point where it was targeted by the film sellers in Australia!
…
And now, about two minutes later.
The lights at the scene were ringing with the overwhelming heartbeat.
Suddenly it shines again!
"ah!!!!!!!!"
The screams started again.
On the stage, a piano decorated in Gothic style was placed there! Lu Chen, who was sitting in front of the piano, also changed into a suit with a good texture.
More elegant and handsome! This scene made the overseas live broadcast room even more explosive.
——【Will he not sing and play the guitar next?】
——【He can also play the piano? 】
——【Hou Lixie, what on earth does he want to do with this Gothic style piano? Is he going to sing an English song again?】
…
"The next song is also the last one to be released tonight. As for the style, as you can see, it is more Western. As for what it is like, you will know later. I hope you will like it!"
As soon as the words fell.
The title of a song appeared on the screen: "The Greatest Work"! Composer: Lu Chen.
Lyrics: Lu Chen.
Arranger: Lu Chen.
Singer: Lu Chen! …
However, this time everyone's attention was not on those lines of arrogance.
Instead, I was instantly attracted by the song title that was so arrogant that it was unbelievable.
"The Greatest Show"?!
…
Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! …
At this moment, the ten judges were suddenly shocked!
Countless fans were stunned!
Even Qian Keli and Lu Jianguo were horrified when they saw the title of this song!
"The Greatest Show? He used that as a song title?!"
"What is this kid going to do? What on earth is he going to do?!"
There has never been a song title that is so eye-catching and thrilling! Today they have finally opened their eyes! Instant!
The anticipation that had been pounding in his chest was completely ignited on the spot!
Or is it an exaggeration?! At this moment, not only the fans, but even Qian Keli couldn't help but have this thought in his mind!
After all, Lu Chen is only 25 years old! It is the most brilliant moment! And today is a global live broadcast! It is hard not to make such a small speculation.
…
In the live broadcast room, a song introduction appeared: "This is a song about time travel, telling the story of Lu Chen turning into a time traveler to meet the masters in the 20th century!"
…
——【Time travel? Gift crab! 】
——【This introduction attracted me! 】
——【He said that this song of his is the greatest work! ? 】
——【HAHAHA! A sudden high profile! 】
——【OMG! Such a big tone? I want to see how good this song is! 】
Overseas netizens were also confused.
"The Greatest Work"? Not to mention Dragon Country or any of their countries.
Throughout the history of art, whether it is painting, music, or other arts, which author dares to say that his work is the greatest work? Aren’t the Chinese people always very humble and low-key?
How come it suddenly became so high-profile to such an unbelievable degree!
What a strong contrast!
This has aroused the curiosity of countless netizens to the extreme! …
Now, the music begins!
When the spotlight was on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen placed his hands on the piano, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then his fingers pressed the keys!
Just a few short notes.
The classical music atmosphere, like dazzling gold powder, sprinkles all over the stage.
In an instant, the whole space was shining!
…
"This is?!"
Lawrence and the others all pricked up their ears.
At this moment! Music finally entered their comfort zone!
Every melody seems to be automatically analyzed as a palace movement.
So, the first melody of this prelude...
It's actually Chopin's playing style!
Then the music started to get noticeably more intense.
From the melody, we can hear that Lu Chen is playing the music quickly in a left-right cross-play.
This technique is advanced content for most pianists and requires a lot of talent!
It's a real test of his playing skills! Can't believe his piano skills are so good?
Once again, I was caught off guard and unexpected! Keep listening! In the following long section, Lu Chen actually used Rachmaninoff-style major chords continuously.
——"What?!!"
Lawrence was stunned!
this……
Isn't this pop music? Why did Lu Chen use classical music to write the prelude?!
It is difficult to describe in words the feelings of Lawrence and several other music professors at this moment.
If this were a classical music performance, there would certainly be nothing wrong with this!
The key point is that this is pop music, right?
The combination of classical and pop music has always been a huge challenge in the world music scene.
Few people can combine them successfully.
All the successful ones are music superstars and geniuses.
Looking back at history, there are only a handful of such cases.
However, right now, the young man in front of him was going to answer this question in front of fans all over the world and even in front of several judges who were definitely experts?
How confident is he to dare to do this? !
The boundaries of this question are too narrow!
It is so narrow that even the slightest problem will be magnified infinitely!
Tolerance will be greatly reduced!
After all, classical music is the soul and core of the entire Western music !
Source!
No blasphemy allowed!
And now, Lu Chen actually dared to do this!
At this moment, a large number of thoughts flashed through the minds of Lawrence and others.
Almost subconsciously, everyone frowned!
How will he handle it?! …
On the stage, Lu Chen's fingers were like agile spirits, playing the piano quickly! There was one thing that Lawrence was extremely surprised to discover.
In terms of piano proficiency alone, Lu Chen has actually reached almost the highest level among non-pianists!
He can actually play the piano so well?! …
With continuous Rachmaninoff-style major chord progression.
The final breakpoint is on a G key!
Neat and simple!
Impeccable!
However, Lawrence's heartbeat did not slow down, but accelerated instantly! Here it comes!
What should he do next?!
How to connect classical music to pop music.
This is crucial!
It can be said that success or failure depends on this one move! If the connection is not good.
The degree of fragmentation of this prelude will instantly ruin the entire work!
Yes! It is that serious!
This is the charm and nobility of classical music!
Musical themes that cannot be desecrated! …
On the stage, the break ended with the first half of the piano solo.
The main melody of the song really comes into play at this moment! "Da Da Da!"
Drum beats advance.
Different from the intense piano prelude, with the appearance of this melody, the soothing nature of the music becomes more apparent.
Relieved the tension on the piano part!
It's so smooth! ...
And after hearing this melody.
With a buzzing sound, Lawrence and the other ten judges were suddenly moved! Suddenly, six of them stood up on the spot.
This naturally includes Lawrence.
"Houli Crab! This is..."
"This is... Tchaikovsky's musical expression?!"
After the first Chopin-style piano melody, Lu Chen first used Rachmaninoff-style major chord progression, which was already amazing and thrilling! But in the B section prelude connection part, fuck!!!
He actually used a melody from Tchaikovsky, a representative of the post-classical period, to complete the progression of the entire prelude!
At the same time, it is accompanied by drums and violins to complete the beat transition! Successfully entered the channel of pop music! ! "What!!! Fuck!!!"
The world is spinning at this moment!
Lawrence's mind went blank. It was unbelievable and soul-shattering. How on earth could he write a prelude of this level?
How on earth did he write it!
Then think of the theme of "time travel"!
I thought he would use the lyrics to explain the concept!
But it’s not like that!
But it's a prelude!
The prelude is fully reflected! Through Chopin's piano interpretation, it progresses from classical to post-classical!
The concept of time travel and invisibility has already been completed! Oh my God! How terrifying this guy must be! How terrifying!
Lawrence's pupils exploded instantly! He was almost crazy!
At this moment, not only him!
There are several other professors.
Without exception!
Everyone felt the incomparable shock in this prelude! And the terrible thing about this shock is! The more professional, the more shocking!
The more shocked I was, the more horrified I felt! Is he really just a pop singer?
Is he sure he is not an artist?! Can this prelude be written by the entertainment industry? Is this the kind of musical talent that the entertainment industry should have?!
Is this it?!
Too strong!!!!
How could this guy be so strong and crazy! Could it be that God was really born in the East? ! !
…
Explosion!
Explosion! ! Spend time with your family during National Day
Hehe, please understand. I will resume updating twice a day soon!
Two hundred thousand words a month will not be less
