The last comment reminded many people: is this song rock or folk?
They couldn't answer this question; it was up to the four major bands to judge.
Strangely, none of the four bands rushed to say a word; they all remained silent.
"Ms. Karen, would you like to say a few words?"
"Teacher Mangosteen, please stop drinking. We have important business to attend to!"
The surrounding customers all hoped that a few people could analyze it, since their knowledge was not sufficient to fully appreciate the piece.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the four people's gazes kept meeting:
"You go!"
"Why don't you go instead!"
"I can't do it, you do it!"
"..."
In the end, Karen took the lead: "It's not that we don't want to talk, but we don't know where to begin."
After all, this song is amazing, so amazing that even we couldn't compose a piece like it.
Karen's words definitely stirred up a huge controversy:
Wow, is that exaggerated? Even Black Mirror, a band ranked so high, thinks they can't produce a song like this, then who can?
【Wow, that really scared me! If I hadn't been watching the live stream, I would have thought this part had been maliciously edited.】
[I can't take it anymore! The more Karen says this, the more I want to know what makes this song so amazing!]
[...]
Karen knew that these people wouldn't give up unless she explained herself properly: "Alright, I'll tell you what I heard!"
First, there's the melody and style.
This song is very different from traditional rock, and I believe everyone can hear that.
What's amazing is that it was composed using the traditional Kyushu pentatonic scale, namely Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu.
This musical style not only showcases the charm of traditional music but also incorporates elements of modern rock music, making it a wonderful blend of rock and traditional Chinese elements.
It's not over yet!
This piece not only blends traditional Chinese style but also incorporates folk elements.
From a certain perspective, it is perfectly fine as a folk song.
Furthermore, its melody and chord curves are very robust.
In particular, the first line, "Nothing can stop you from yearning for freedom," is thought-provoking and the performance is straightforward and expressive, which fits the basic form of rock music.
The song blends rock, traditional Chinese style, folk, and pop elements, and the resulting work is so complete and seamless.
"How difficult do you think it is?"
After Karen's analysis, everyone understood immediately.
There are very few people who can create rock music using the five tones, and even fewer who can write good songs.
Four distinct styles are perfectly blended into one song, no wonder Karen said she couldn't write a song like this.
Karen continued, "Now let's talk about the lyrics!"
Both the song title and the lyrics contain the words "blue lotus".
What is a blue lotus?
It is actually a kind of Zen flower.
It has rich connotations and symbolic meanings in both culture and religion.
It embodies purity, nobility, wisdom, and innocence, representing eternity that never fades.
Now that you understand these points, look at the lyrics. Aren't they written around the blue lotus? Aren't they filled with a strong Zen flavor?
This is why, even though the melody isn't particularly rousing, we can still draw great inspiration from it, reflecting more on life and freedom, and developing a stronger desire for our dreams.
May your soul be as pure as a lotus, and may your life be as free as the wind!
This is not just a song, but a symbol of a spirit.
Such works are extremely rare throughout history…
Karen's evaluation of "The Blue Lotus" is undeniably high.
No one stood up to refute it; they felt the song deserved such high praise.
"Among all the rock songs I've listened to, this song is in the T0 tier. If I had to give it a score, I'd give it 9.5!"
This is Karen's final assessment of "The Blue Lotus".
[Wow! So far, Karen's highest score is 9.6, but this song actually got 9.5! Oh my god!]
Many songs that received a score of 9.2 or higher from Karen have become classics.
[We asked Mr. Mask to write rock music, and unexpectedly, he created a classic!]
[Wow, so Mr. Mask possesses the same talent and charisma as Qingchuan?]
From this perspective, it makes sense that Teacher Lin Sen chose to make a comeback, because he has found someone comparable to Qingchuan.
I'm already looking forward to seeing how far this new masked band can go.
No, no, no, I only have one question now: who exactly is Mr. Mask? Someone who can write this kind of work can't be an unknown nobody, right?
People have gained some understanding of Mr. Mask's abilities.
But the more they learned, the more curious they became, and the more eager they were to know the face behind the mask.
For a time, the reputation of Mr. Mask even surpassed the surprise brought by Lin Sen's comeback.
Just as Lu Jiuning once said, as long as the song is good, even without taking off the mask, this identity can be known to the world.
With the end of "Blue Lotus," the live stream also came to a close.
The live stream reached a peak of 521,000 viewers, achieving today's target.
"Well done!"
This filled Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning with even more elation.
Just as Lu Jiuning was about to close the live stream, he suddenly remembered that there was one more routine he hadn't done.
"Mr. Mask, this episode is all about rock and roll, just like you wanted. Next time, we're going to pick an even more challenging theme!"
Having achieved his goal today, Bei Chen was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said boldly, "Come on, pick whatever you like. If you can stump me, you win!"
"If any of you can stump me in any episode, the drinks for that episode are free, it's on me!"
These words made the customers below even more excited:
"Alright, alright, there's a reason why he likes Mr. Mask. Based on that statement alone, we should find him a character with a high level of difficulty."
"He's so generous. I love Mr. Mask's gambling spirit. We've got electronic music, we've got rock music, and we've added more difficulty to the mix, brothers."
“You can’t pick folk songs. ‘Blue Lotus’ can also be considered a folk song, so Mr. Mask is definitely not afraid.”
"What else is there to choose from?"
"How about the ancient style? And it can't be a simple ancient style; it needs to incorporate some traditional Chinese culture from the Nine Provinces."
"Holy crap, you're pushing the limits to the extreme! Hahaha, which producer would dare take this on?!"
