Chapter 189: "Rice Fragrance" vs. "Wind Blowing Rice Waves"

Chapter 189: "Rice Fragrance" vs. "Wind Blowing Rice Waves"

In the spotlight.

A fresh and melodious accompaniment sounded, and Fang Jian, who had gathered his emotions, raised the microphone and spoke slowly.

"Golden waves of rice are surging under the blue sky in the distance"

"That's where you and I once loved each other"

He is like an unpolluted piece of jade, which, under the polishing of time, exudes a restrained breath and sings in his own way, like a cup of mellow wine, which will emit aroma over time.

The audience felt particularly relaxed while listening to this song, as if they were on a path in the field with golden rice in front of them.

Before I knew it, I closed my eyes and listened quietly.

Off screen.

Xiao Sun is a working man and not a fan of celebrities. This was his first time watching this show and also his first time listening to this song.

Closing his eyes and listening to the song, a dream-like picture appeared in his mind.

There is a field in front of me, surrounded by golden waves of wheat.

A man was walking in the ever-expanding wheat waves under the orange-red sky at dusk, with a dog following him, barking and sticking out its tongue. The breeze, carrying the smell of harvest, blew warmly towards his face.

"It's so beautiful! How can there be such a meaningful song?"

Xiao Sun was deeply intoxicated by the song and said to himself, "From now on, I am your fan!"

…

On the gorgeous stage.

“Hmm… la… hmm… la…”

Fang Jian sang softly, and the picture created by the song was one in which everything was very clean and pure, just like his clear voice.

Judges' seat.

As a native of Gangcheng, Huang Xiao does not have the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival. This is the first time he has heard Fang Jian's song "Wind Blowing Rice Waves".

He looked at the lyrics in his hand, listened to Fang Jian's humming, and fell in love with the song.

He felt that the song, in a fresh and simple way from beginning to end, gave people a sense of joy and enjoyment of getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city and returning to the countryside. It also expressed a nostalgia for the simple and beautiful past, awakening the purity deep in people's memories.

At the same time, Huang Xiao also likes the emotions expressed in the song.

Although the original intention was to write about missing a past relationship, there is no sad emotion in the lyrics.

On the contrary, it is this peaceful freshness, gentleness and brisk rhythm that makes us believe that this kind of nostalgia brings comfort rather than a burden.

Compared to some other romantic songs, such as love is hurt and heart is broken... this song's description of love is really a breath of fresh air.

Huang Xiao almost pressed the "add vote" button.

Fortunately, I suddenly remembered Lin Zhixing and decided to wait until he finished singing before deciding on the distribution of the extra tickets.

In the channel.

"You are indeed a musical poet!"

After listening to this song, Lin Zhixing recognized his singing ability and the title of "Music Poet".

The song is like a prose poem that returns to the innocence and simplicity of human nature. It has beautiful artistic conception and is sung beautifully, making people feel particularly comfortable listening to it.

At this moment, the nervousness in my heart suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a sense of excitement, the excitement of competing with excellent singers.

【bite!】

[The system mission is activated at a difficult difficulty level. Defeat the music poet Fang Jian. After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth and a song selection card.]

The system prompt sounded suddenly, and Lin Zhixing was stunned for a moment.

The "difficult" difficulty task that has not been seen for a long time has appeared. The rewards are also different from before the system upgrade, and two rewards are given.

The emergence of difficult tasks also means that tonight will be a tough battle!

"Come on, you can do it!"

…

Singers waiting room.

"This is nothing, there is really no rival in this topic!"

Yu Jiang listened to the song and looked around at the singers in the room, but couldn't find anyone who could compete with him, not even Wang Jiawei who had always dominated the charts.

Her strength is high notes, so she is not good at singing such delicate songs.

Zhao Weiwei nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I also think that first place tonight belongs to him."

After listening to Fang Jian's songs, more than half of the singers in the waiting room felt that they had no chance of winning.

…

“Hmm… la… hmm… la…”

Finally, after a beautiful humming, Fang Jian finished the singing.

The audience seemed to have experienced a spiritual baptism. They all had an intoxicated look on their faces and gave very enthusiastic applause.

“A beautiful, relaxing song!”

"I fell in love with this song. I suddenly wanted to sing in the fields."

"No one can beat Brother Jian on this topic, just give him the prize!"

…

“Thanks to Fang Jian for the wonderful performance!”

After Lin Zhixing returned to the stage, he raised the key and introduced: "Now, please welcome the Fengqi Wutong band to perform the song "Rice Fragrance"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, information about the song appeared on the stage screen.

【Rice Fragrance】

[Phoenix perches on the sycamore]

【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】

【Composition: Lin Zhixing】

【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】

"Rice Fragrance? From the name, does it also describe the mood of rice fields?"

"Although Oh Ye-ge is very good and I like him, but with the excellent performance just now, I think it might be a dull occasion..."

"Come on, I believe in you, go and win Fang Jian's song!"

The audience was talking about it. Fang Jian, who had just sung, was too good. Although they recognized Lin Zhixing's creative ability, they were generally pessimistic about it. "

Singer's waiting room.

Seeing this, Guo Jiahe's mouth curled up slightly, "Ah, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. You're competing with Fang Jian in the same genre and theme. How can you win?"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu were not worried about this at all. Even if they couldn't beat Fang Jian, they wouldn't be ranked last. It wasn't a life-and-death game, so it wasn't a big problem.

…

On the gorgeous stage.

The lighting changed to warm tones, and a photo of a golden rice field background was cut onto the screen.

Lin Zhixing and Song Ge's outfits today are also simple in style, which fits the stage very well.

As the prelude played, the chirping of crickets and the laughter of children, accompanied by the accompaniment of guitar, made everyone's eyes light up.

It is no exaggeration to say that the sound of crickets at the beginning alone can bring the audience back to their childhood memories...

"Wow, you are indeed a master of composition. This prelude is even more gorgeous than the previous song "Wind Blowing Rice Waves"!"

The audience's attitude changed and they were full of expectations for this song.

Amid the anticipation of the crowd, Lin Zhixing waved his hands and raised the microphone to sing softly.

"If you have too many complaints about this world"

“If you fall, you won’t dare to move forward.”

“Why are people so fragile and depraved?”

"Please turn on the TV."

“How many people are trying to bravely move forward for their lives”

“Should we be content?”

“Treasure everything even if you don’t have it”

The Blue Star audience doesn't quite understand this lyric. Actually, Jay Chou wrote it to encourage people not to give up easily.

Turn on the TV and look at the people who experienced the 2008 earthquake. They are all trying hard to survive. Why should you give up so easily? When it came to the chorus, Song Ge raised the microphone and sang along.

"Remember you said home is the only castle"

"Keep running along the rice-fragrant river"

"I know the dream of my childhood"

"Don't cry, let the fireflies take you away"

"Countryside songs are an eternal reliance"

"Go home and return to the original beauty"

Off screen.

"I thought Fang Jian was invincible, whose general is this?"

Xiao Sun, who just became a fan of Fang Jian, was downloading the song "Wind Blowing Rice Waves" on his computer. With the sound of cicadas chirping, he was immersed in the song "Rice Fragrance" again.

Closing my eyes, I seem to be back in that summer memory, remembering the days when there were no mobile phones or computers, and I had fun playing around the village with my friends.

We climbed trees together to see the scenery, held bamboo poles with spider webs wrapped around them to catch dragonflies on the ridges of fields and cicadas on tree trunks, fished in the cool stream but always caught tadpoles, rode on the peach and plum trees of our neighbors to eat fruits that hadn’t ripened yet, and after watching martial arts movies, we imitated the hermit masters and fought randomly, and when we were tired of running, we lay on the grass and watched the sunset...

We always play until the adults call out our nicknames and tell us to eat. When the sun sets, we run in groups to our homes where the smoke from the kitchen rises. In the dusk, our little figures are stretched very long...

When I was young, I always wanted to grow up quickly so that I could visit those "big cities" that the adults talked about. But when I grew up, I found that these cities had no legends of lush grass and singing birds, but only cages of heavy pressure.

Later, I finally left, and slowly began to miss it. It seemed like I hadn't smelled the fragrance of soil and rice flowers for a long time. When I was the happiest, I didn't understand what happiness was. "Things have changed and people have changed" is really a cruel word.

"I took so many exams, but I didn't expect it was to leave home."

Xiao Sun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

…

On the gorgeous stage.

"I fell asleep leaning against the scarecrow, singing and feeling the wind."

"Oh~oh~ the guitar sounds even more crisp in the afternoon amidst the chirping of insects"

"Oh~oh~ I'm not afraid of heartbreak when the sun shines on the road"

“Treasure everything even if you don’t have it”

Lin Zhixing's singing is getting better and better, and the atmosphere at this moment is not inferior to that of "Fang Jian" just now. After the singing emotion B reached 30 points, there was a significant improvement in the emotional infection of the audience.

Song Ge is not good at rapping. Today she was only responsible for the chorus part, which made her really experience the pleasure of slacking off.

Judges' seat.

Huang Xiao was very glad at this moment that he did not give Fang Jian an extra vote, because he liked the song "Rice Fragrance" so much.

The melody and lyrics are very simple, it is a relaxing country music, with simple chords, and the perfect use of insects and flute sounds, blending the three elements of childhood, countryside and reality together.

The hip-hop folk style of the song, the rap that incorporates the beauty of the countryside, and the warm and inspiring lyrics sing out the beauty of childhood, simple happiness, and nostalgia for hometown, as well as the insights into life.

The most valuable thing is that it advocates a simple and happy life, emphasizes finding meaning in a simple life, and pursuing happiness rather than fame and fortune.

“It’s absolutely amazing!”

Huang Xiao pressed the "add ticket" button without hesitation.

Singers waiting room.

Except for Guo Jiahe, all the singers had no objection to Huang Xiao's "increasing votes" operation, including Fang Jian who had just finished singing.

"The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" only allows the audience to see the beautiful scenery, while "The Fragrance of Rice" not only allows the audience to see the beautiful scenery, but also brings the audience back to their childhood and allows them to gain some insights.

"Dawn of Rice" was awarded the best "Song of the Year" at the 2009 Golden Melody Awards.

In today's society where people pursue fame and fortune, and in an era when brainwash songs and love songs are popular, there are very few songs like this, so it is normal for them to shock a lot of people.

"Xiao Lin is so awesome!"

Yu Jiang and Zhao Weiwei looked at each other, knelt down to Lin Zhixing, and took back Fang Jian’s words that he would take first place tonight.

Guo Jiahe looked at Fang Jian who was completely immersed in the song beside him, curled his lips, and thought to himself: "You won't lose to him tonight, will you?"

"If I lose to a novice like him, I might as well just give up the title of Music Poet!"

…

"I cried after listening to this. Brother Oh Ye used the simplest and most innocent words to bring me, a person in my 30s and 40s who has experienced many hardships and been dragged by desires all my life, back to the starting point of life, back to my childhood when I had nothing but was still happy. Thank you!"

"I just got fired, and listening to "Rice Fragrance", I felt that everything was not so bad. Thank you for this song, thank you for my idol, for making me feel that life can still be beautiful!"

"I am a fan of Oh Ye Ge, and I think this song can be as famous as his "In the Name of the Father."

The live broadcast room received rave reviews and the audience was very impressed with the song.

In fact, if the melody and lyrics of a song are matched perfectly, it will be remembered by people.

"Rice Fragrance" has this feature. The beautiful melody and rhyming lyrics interweave to create a picture, and "continue running along the river of rice fragrance" is very three-dimensional.

Other famous lines, such as "The sparrows outside the window are chattering on the telephone poles", are also rendered with scenes + special words. There are many details that are full of visual sense, which makes it easy for people to get into the plot of the song.

…

In the recording hall.

As Lin Zhixing sang, the audience waved their hands together. The atmosphere was completely better than when Fang Jian just sang.

"Don't give up so easily like I said"

"If you can't pursue your dream, just change it to another one."

“Color your life brightly”

"First paint love with your favorite color"

As Lin Zhixing was singing, the music suddenly stopped, and he said softly: "Smile!"

This line of lyrics made the audience smile unconsciously. They thought the sound system was broken just now, but when the melody came back the next moment, it was so comfortable.

“Success and fame are not the goal”

"Making yourself happy is the meaning of life"

"The paper airplane from my childhood has finally flown back into my hands"

Off screen.

Every word of the lyrics touched Xiao Sun's heart, and he was deeply moved.

The naughty child has long been polished by society into a strong adult, but now the paper airplane of childhood has flown back into his hands.

He has now forgotten how to fold a paper airplane, and although he can listen to whatever he wants through electronic devices, he still thinks the radio at that time was really nice.

"Just smile. Success and fame are not the goal. Making yourself happy is the meaning."

He really liked this line of lyrics.

There is a feeling of the simplicity of the great way and the wisdom appearing foolishly.

Isn't the meaning of life to be happy? What is the purpose of this life on earth? We should do something that makes us happy so that our life will not be wasted, so as to avoid regrets a hundred years later.

When Xiao Sun heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at the close-up shot of Lin Zhixing on the phone screen.

"I would like to call you the second strongest person in the world. Sorry, the strongest person in the world is me in the shower!"
