Chapter 105 Nocturne
When the camera was focused on Jiang Qin, every one of the Imperials was extremely picky.
[Is this the Federation female who was said to be able to bring down our Empire's music scene? She looks weak and frail, not that impressive.]
[For a little female like this, I'm afraid I'll just scold her and she'll cry and report me.]
[Can someone so young really come up with so many songs? It can’t be…]
[Anyway, I don't believe such a small female could be stronger than Mr. Carl and Mr. Jones. I can only say that this might just be a trick by someone who was prepared.]
The fans at the scene didn’t have time to look at the laptop at this time, so only the Jiang fans in the live broadcast room responded.
[This is hilarious! Why are there still people questioning Jiang Qin's song purchases?]
[Of course, it’s because they can’t afford to lose~]
[Anyway, losing to the Empire is what we deserve, and winning is cheating.]
[I understand. Your Empire is number one in the universe. Please step back.]
…
Some people find the barrage of comments annoying, so they simply use gifts to clear the screen.
The second place winner was the elven composer, Ize.
His partner soon took the stage.
The prelude is a melodious organ sound, but it is a synthesized one, not very authentic, and it has been fine-tuned.
Chanting is the elves' comfort zone.
They just rapped a prayer spell in Elvish...
Although it is different from traditional rap, it cannot be said to be off-topic.
Well...well, Jiang Qin didn't understand anyway.
I guess a lot of people didn’t understand it, but the score given by the main referee was also pretty good.
Some of the judges may not have understood the lyrics, but they understood the melody and gave it an average score.
I don't know how to grade it, so I just followed others and gave it a similar score.
Finally it’s Jiang Qin’s turn.
The audience immediately sat up straight, waiting for the singer to come on stage with great anticipation.
***
Fu Jie was also wearing a suit today, with the collar of his white shirt open in the same messy manner.
The dancers came on stage one after another. Jiang Qin sat in front of the piano, with a faint white light shining on her head, as hazy as moonlight.
A melodious prelude sounded on the stage...
Jiang Qin lowered her eyebrows and pressed the piano keys gracefully with her hands.
"A swarm of bloodthirsty ants is attracted to the rotting flesh.
I look at the lonely scenery with an expressionless face
After losing you, the love and hate began to become clear..."
Unique lyrics, pleasant melody, and rap that sounds like a narrative.
No grimace or cynicism.
Rap isn't just about diss-style words; it can be elegant and beautiful, too.
"When the dove no longer symbolizes peace
I was finally reminded
The vultures are being fed in the square.
I use beautiful rhymes
Describe the love that has been plundered..."
Rap is not Jiang Qin’s forte, but she has her favorite idols.
She doesn't like the kind of rap that just curses whatever comes to mind, she only likes Jay Chou's rap, which is like a work of art.
The tune is so beautiful that just listening to the prelude is enough to make you a god.
Especially this nocturne.
For a long time, there has been a saying circulating in the Chinese music scene: As soon as the nocturne plays, go on stage to receive the award!
It's enough to see how awesome this song is.
"Play Chopin's Nocturne for you
In memory of my dead love..."
The only regret is that she hasn't uploaded Chopin's Nocturne yet, so it might be difficult for interstellar people to associate it with that piano piece.
Pure piano music has the magic to cleanse the soul.
She liked it too.
As expected, the treasure trove of Earth’s entertainment is so vast that she is afraid she will never be able to replicate it even if she spends her entire life on it.
…
In the judges' seats, many judges closed their eyes and began to listen with ecstasy.
There was no noise in the audience, only countless glow sticks and cheering boards waving gently.
Only the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't stop themselves from saying a few words:
[Who says Jiang Qin isn't good at it? This song is more than just a rap; it's clearly a work of art.]
[Um...but is Fu Jie having trouble keeping up with the warp speed? Why is his speech a bit unclear?]
[It's possible. After all, the singing part is very clear, but the spoken part is unclear.]
[Is it possible that this is how the song is sung?]
[Indeed, with such a beautiful melody, the unclear pronunciation becomes the icing on the cake.
If the lyrics were too clear, it would have taken the spotlight off the song, since the lyrics are also excellent.]
[No one would give such a good rap a low score, right?]
[It's hard to say, this is quite different from the popular rap nowadays, but it shouldn't get a low score. After all, wasn't Ize's song even more outrageous?]
[Heh, a hypnotic song like this is worthy of being called rap? Why not let your little female write a book instead?]
[It doesn't sound good. I don't recognize it as rap. It's passionless and too elegant. Rap should be used to express things that we wouldn't dare to say normally!]
[Like, "That bastard, I'll kill him sooner or later"? Hard to comment...]
No matter whether netizens admit it or not, as long as the mastermind admits it, it’s fine.
Not only did he acknowledge it, he also gave it a high score.
Even the judges couldn't help but comment, "This song is undoubtedly the most beautiful rap I have heard in all these years.
Before today, I didn’t even recognize rap as a form of music, because I had listened to a few songs before that were quite unbearable to the ears.
So I've never had a good impression of rap.
But today, my mind has been changed!"
Judge No. 58 even asked Jiang Qin, who was still on the stage, "Ms. Jiang, are you selling the copyright of this song?"
Jiang Qin thought for a few seconds and shook her head. "Sorry, I need to prioritize the company's arrangements for this song."
In fact, the real reason is that this judge is from the mechanical family.
She felt that she was a little narrow-minded and didn't want these works to be lost to foreigners, so she didn't consider it at all.
The federation is so big, is it still impossible to find someone to buy the copyright?
Maybe after I get back, Tianwen Entertainment will come to me and want to buy the copyright for Fu Jie to sing.
However, judge No. 58 didn't know what she was thinking, but instead thought it was as she should.
After all, Jiang Qin is participating in the program on behalf of Tianwen Entertainment. As a composer from the company, she must have some concerns when doing things. This is normal.
He just felt a little regretful because he really liked the song.
What a pity.
Although rejected, judge No. 58 still gave it a high score of 95.
The next singer to come on stage sang Jones's work.
Compared with Jiang Qin's elegance, his rap style is wild.
The melody is uplifting and the lyrics are bloody and bold, or more accurately, cruel.
But it was obvious that he grasped the public's preference. At least the male audience in the venue were all excited.
The howling of wolves, tigers, and various wild beasts can be heard everywhere.
However, most people still frowned, especially the females, whose faces were full of discomfort and disgust.
