Chapter 1024: The sky is blue and waiting for the rain
New song!
New album title song!
And it’s a Chinese style song! These three keywords, no matter which one is thrown out, are enough to cause fans to scream, not to mention the three-in-one big surprise!
Sing! Sing quickly!
Sing it to us now!
If the audience's voices could be transmitted to Lin Fan, Lin Fan would probably be deafened by the audience's cheers at this moment!
This episode itself was a special show specially made for Lin Fan. No matter whether it was the program team or the guest team, it was impossible for them to stop Lin Fan from performing.
So, under everyone's expectation, Lin Fan took the stage again.
Watching Lin Fan take the stage, Zhou Yue in front of the screen showed a meaningful smile: "This will be an unforgettable night, because this is the first time this song will be publicly performed."
Xia Yan, who had already listened to all the songs in the new album, solemnly clicked the screen recording shortcut button on his phone, preparing to record Lin Fan's first appearance in this song.
There are other people who have heard the song in advance and are looking forward to it with great excitement, hoping to see the real reactions of all the listeners after the song is released.
The rest of the audience, however, did not realize what kind of song they were going to hear next.
In the show, Lin Fan was wearing a Chinese long gown, with an elegant temperament, standing in the center of the stage like a graceful orchid, waiting.
The prelude of the song slowly sounded, and the guests at the scene were all shocked and focused their attention involuntarily, trying to hear Lin Fan's creative ideas from this prelude.
The first instrument that reached everyone's ears in the prelude of the song was not the commonly used musical instrument that everyone is familiar with, but the Chinese drum!
And it was played on the drum side, leading the overall rhythm!
Then the clear sound of the guzheng came in, rendering the entire melody full of the emotion of the song. It was followed by the assisted piano and the bamboo flute, which came in like a startled wild goose, connecting the previous and the next, and bringing endless surprises to everyone!
The guests at the scene only felt their scalps tingling! As the saying goes, an expert can tell the difference with one move. Lin Fanguang was just a prelude, and he had already shown off to the sky. I don’t know what others think, but Liu Zhengyan has already gotten used to it.
I'm used to Lin Fan's songs, which always make a big splash and extinguish all the luck in your heart, and then step on you hard and crush you a few times, leaving you completely unable to pick yourself up again.
The audience did not have too many psychological activities, they just simply thought that the prelude was nice, fresh and pleasant, with a traditional Chinese charm, which was very comfortable and made people want to listen to it.
The bass that followed made the entire prelude sublime, and finally, with the vibrato of the bamboo flute, the main part officially began.
"The blank outlines the blue and white strokes, which become thick and light.
The peony painted on the bottle is just like your first makeup. The sandalwood fragrance is coming through the window, and I understand your thoughts. I put the pen on the rice paper halfway here——"
Liu Zhengyan: Σ(⊙▽⊙! Other guests: ⊙０⊙!! Audience in front of the screen: ⊙д⊙!!!
Oh shit!
What kind of magical lyrics are these? Brother Fan, you are not here to sing a new song, you are here to give us homework and recite the whole text, right?
The guests who were just shocked by the amazing prelude of Lin Fan's song were deeply shocked by Lin Fan's superb lyric writing ability! They couldn't believe the melody of the song they heard, and even more so, they couldn't believe every word of the lyrics they heard.
But Lin Fan was right in front of them, the melody of the song never stopped, and there was nothing wrong with Lin Fan's singing. All of this proved that no one had heard it wrong, and there was nothing wrong with their ears. Such a god-level song just appeared in front of everyone.
As we all know, lyrics occupy an important position in a song. A song without lyrics will be boring. Lyrics play an important role in the presentation of the song's storyline and the expression of the song's emotions.
Especially the Chinese-style songs pioneered by Lin Fan, which not only have very strict requirements on the melody of the songs, but also on the lyrics.
After Lin Fan’s traditional Chinese style songs became popular, countless singers wanted to imitate this style, hoping to become as famous as Lin Fan.
However, these people often only get the form but fail to grasp the essence, especially when it comes to lyrics. They cannot grasp the flavor of traditional Chinese style, so they have to use some incomprehensible words to forcibly pile them up and dare to call them traditional Chinese style songs.
But in fact, he didn't even reach one-tenth of Lin Fan's strength.
Lin Fan's lyric writing ability is praised even by bigwigs in the literary and art circles. His lyrics are full of ancient charm and blend perfectly with the classical music style, allowing the audience to deeply experience the charm of art and culture that spans thousands of years of time and space while enjoying the songs.
"The charm of the glaze rendering of the ladies' painting is privately kept
And your charming smile is like a bud about to bloom Your beauty is drifting away
Going to places I can’t go—”
These two short verses of lyrics paint a picture of a misty Jiangnan landscape in ink and wash painting for all the listeners. Among the moving water and clouds, one can vaguely see the beautiful scene of a woman in white clothes with her skirt fluttering.
The lyrics use a series of words such as "plain embryo" and "lady" to describe the elegance of the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation. Lin Fan's singing voice is tender and simple, with a hint of the rudiments of Jiangnan opera. Coupled with the retro melody, it simply touches everyone's heart.
But this is just the beginning.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain
And I'm waiting for you
Smoke rises from the kitchen, thousands of miles away
The calligraphy on the bottom of the vase imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty
Just consider it as my foreshadowing of meeting you——"
The introduction of pipa, rolling music and string music, the addition of drums and pipa that appeared in the prelude as accompaniment instruments, and the retention of the timbre of the electric guitar.
The interlude directly quotes the bamboo flute that appears in the prelude to echo the previous and the next part.
The tune is simple and elegant, sad and tender. The entire melody adopts the pentatonic scale of the Chinese nation. The whole song is created around 12356 and has distinct national characteristics.
Lin Fan also integrated his singing style with that of traditional opera, injecting new soul into the song. Combined with a retro melody and beautiful artistic conception, it goes straight into the heart, making the song more full of ancient charm, like a beautiful dream.
"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain
And I'm waiting for you
The moonlight is salvaged, the ending is blurred, like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, beautiful in its own right, with a smile in your eyes——"
The whole song from beginning to end is like a painting of Jiangnan in mist and rain presented to everyone. The prelude is like opening a scroll, a thick ink spreads in the water, the sky is clear and the rain is drizzling, and the stone bridge is thousands of miles long. At the end of the song, it is as if the scroll is being folded up, which is meaningful and endless.
But more importantly, Lin Fan created the Chinese style of pop music with the song "Dong Feng Po", and unknowingly raised the standard of the "Chinese style" of Chinese pop music with this song "Blue and White Porcelain".
And many musicians may never be able to meet this standard in their lifetime.
