Chapter 788: The Child's Singing

On the outskirts of Jinan Prefecture, vehicles were speeding on the road leading to the districts and counties below.

Whether it is the old driver or the passenger sitting in the passenger seat, they are actually just ordinary fans. They only care about whether the songs are good or not. They don't care about or be interested in some technical problems and the like.

But the exception is that when a certain song is so good that ordinary fans like him like it very much, but they can't think of any better words to praise it, they will especially like someone who is more knowledgeable than themselves. Experts or great people can comment and praise from some more professional angles or higher perspectives, so as to satisfy a certain ritual-like sense of identity deep in their hearts.

Moreover, this phenomenon basically exists in almost all industries related to "creation", such as music, art, literature, film, TV drama, opera, dance, architecture, etc.

And in fact, there are quite a few people with this mentality—if a certain work of art is really good enough to arouse the resonance of most people!

And obviously, "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty" has achieved this.

So at this moment, in fact, many ordinary fans who turned on the radio and listened to this program did not feel bored or impatient in the face of such a pure chat program. On the contrary, many people did not choose to change channels, but He listened with relish.

And while listening to it, I can't help but think: "Look! Let me just say, this song is awesome!"

At this time, in the radio program, the dialogue between the host Mina and Zhou Zhipeng is still going on.

Zhou Zhipeng, in particular, was talking eloquently at this time, "The music elements contained in an album like "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" are very many and very rich! Generally speaking, our singers, or producers People, in order to ensure the unity of content and style of an album, they basically have no guts to do so! What do other people do? I will choose one or two works in an album and mix them into Some fresh music elements, so as to moderately expand on the basis of maintaining their own style. Why? Because playing too much, adding too many styles, too strong, few people can hold it! Play If you don’t, you’ll be timid and embarrassing! It looks like you’re not good enough!”

"But Li Qian is obviously not like this. He has never been like this. Just like back then, we can now know that the "Sister and Sister Stand Up" by Wu Xingwusu should be his real first album as a producer. Yes, at that time, as a fledgling, he already dared to mix a lot of styles and elements into an album! So under his guidance, Wuxingwusu at that time, within an album, there is a world-renowned Songs and dances and electronic dance music, as well as lyrical orders like "Farewell", are regarded as classics until now! As time goes by, not only have they not lost their color and become outdated, but they have become more and more important! Think carefully , up to now, title songs like "Sister and Sister Stand Up" were so popular back then, and even set a precedent for a generation, but now, it is estimated that many fans will feel that "Farewell" is the most enjoyable song! Then when it comes to the current "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty", Li Qian has done even better and bolder!"

"How bold is he? Or how powerful is his ability? Some fans may have felt it, but they are not professional after all, so they understand it in their hearts, but they can't express it. Here, I can do it for everyone. After some analysis, I believe everyone will understand: Oh, right! So that’s the case! I believe everyone will have such an idea after hearing what I said!"

"Well, all ears!" Mina said.

"What Li Qian has done in this album, the ten songs, in terms of major musical styles, include electronic dance music, rock, and there is also a heavy metal rock song, which was not common in Chinese rock music in the past 20 years. Heavy metal style hard rock, then, of course, there is pop, POP, the opening arrangement of the song "The-phoenix", I even heard a strong symphony style! And at the end of the album, what is it? "My Motherland" , an extremely authentic approach to our own Chinese folk songs!"

"Then, this is not the end. From a small perspective, or geographical factors, fans who are interested in music from all over the world may also be able to hear that this album is not just a cross-category It also incorporates a lot of music and culture from all over the world! For example, "Come-on, Jime", ah, come on Jimmy, right? I believe that many fans will feel a little weird after listening to it for half a minute. A little familiar, a lot of elements of Indian dance music, and a lot of elements of electronic dance music that are currently popular in foreign countries, that is, in the European and American music circles!"

"Oh... yes, yes! Indian style!"

"Yeah! Take another example, "We-will-rock-you" and "We-are-the-champions". Although these two works sound different, they actually listen to a lot of European and American rock music. You will find that these two songs are pure European rock in the 1980s! Very retro, but very flavorful! To be specific, the most popular insect band in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s, you put these two songs Putting it in their albums of the year, it will definitely not be inconsistent in the slightest, and it will be perfectly integrated! Moreover, it will be the pinnacle of work if it is put in the album of such a master of rock and roll music!"

"Oh, that's right! Then I will find some more albums by the Insect Band and play them for everyone. Let's listen to them and feel the sense of integration that Professor Zhou said."

"Well, of course, and, "The-Cup-of-live", what is this? A typical Latin dance song! And the Latin style of this song is put on those Latin-style superstars in the United States. Compared with the works, I dare say that they are not inferior!"

As he talked, Professor Zhou Zhipeng talked eloquently from the beginning, and became more and more excited and excited when he talked. However, it can be felt from his tone that he is talking about this matter very seriously.

His tone of voice and his earnestness made everyone who is listening to this program clearly feel that he is expressing his inner admiration for these songs and this album very seriously.

"Also, the song "Waka-waka" is very unique. According to the explanation given on the song page of the CD, it is the language of the indigenous people in some African tribes. The translated meaning is probably 'lightning', The copywriting is said to be done by Li Qian himself. It seems that he prefers to call the Chinese name of this song "China Moment". However, the name of this song "Waka-waka" is very particular. The drums in this song, the sense of rhythm, is definitely the rhythm of Africa! The style of the whole song is also full of the unique rhythm of African music! As for bands like "The-phoenix", If some psychedelic rock style things appear in other people's albums, they are definitely worthy of a good review, but they appear in the album "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty". Frankly speaking, such a small direction is simply not worth it. Mention!"

"Actually, if you look back and count, Indian dance music plus electronic dance music, Latin style, pure Chinese folk songs, plus old-school classical rock, plus heavy metal, we all know that the British like heavy metal the most! There is also a song " African music like Waka-waka...can you imagine? They put the whole world in one album, ten songs!"

At this moment, Mina didn't know what to say anymore.

For a moment Zhou Zhipeng's voice was very high-pitched, and he seemed extremely excited. On the other hand, yes, I also felt it when I listened to it, but it was not as clear and macroscopic as listening to Professor Zhou Zhipeng's analysis.

Hearing what he said, after analyzing it, and then thinking about it, I can't seem to find anything to refute!

It seems to have to be admitted that this album is exceptionally powerful and exceptionally different!

As Professor Zhou Zhipeng said earlier, "This is a great album!"

At this time, the whole program almost became Zhou Zhipeng's chatter show.

He continued to say, "Actually, is it easy to achieve this method of integrating many music styles? It's easy to achieve. It's a big deal for a song and a style! But in Li Qian and the Four Great Beauties Before this album, no one dared to do it, at least I have never heard of any album that dared to do it! Why? Afraid of chaos! To do this, first, you must make each style unique, Do everything well, first of all, it is difficult, second, you have made so many styles, all of them are very good, but you, a singer and a band, must be able to control the singing soul of this album. Different works!"

"These two points, any one point, can wipe out more than 99% of the singers and bands in the world! It is difficult for the remaining one percent to be perfect in both points! But now, this "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", in my opinion, is close to perfection!"

"oh……"

"And what moved me most? I mean this album, what moved me most in this album is that after they mastered so many styles with ease and made wonderful creations and interpretations, they finally In the end, it was still neatly put away, and in the end, all of this, these creations, these great attempts, these shocking breakthroughs, in the end, turned into a patriotic heart!"

"Ah... "My Motherland"!"

"Yes, "My Motherland"!"

Zhou Zhipeng said with emotion, "After so much hustle and bustle in front, so many happy shuttles between various music styles, and so many fresh or classic music creations, in the end, they returned to the clean In the beginning, a pure patriotic heart! And, I remember you mentioned just now, that this is the first time you heard Li Qian sing like that, with that voice, right?...I can tell You, when I was recording this song, I was already surprised! Or it can be said that I was not surprised that Li Qian could write a pure national style and folk song like "My Motherland", but he put K set it so high, and he said he wanted to sing it himself, not for Liao Liao or He Runqing, I was terrified at the time!"

"The K of that song is very high. I remember it was SO-H? Anyway, it would be difficult for a female voice to sing. Liao Liao's voice is top-notch. I originally thought that song was written for her. I don't think it's a big problem, but later, Li Qian said that he wanted to sing it himself. Then, we recorded that song about thirty-seven or eight times! Thirty-seven or eight times! Let's put it this way, as long as the rehearsal is good, The Four Great Beauties can usually record a song about ten times, but that song was recorded thirty-seven or eight times, nearly forty times, which is very rare!"

"We all know that the most commonly used part of Li Qian's singing is actually his alto. His alto is very nice, full-bodied and clear. It's not that he can't sing high notes, but he sings too high. Now, the stability and beauty of the voice will be much worse, some of his voices...hehe, I am not afraid of offending him, some of his voice lines, some ranges, are actually very unpleasant!"

"Of course, the reason why "My Motherland" was recorded so many times was that it was easy to sing broken notes many times in the beginning, but in the end, in fact, many times it was slightly out of control emotionally. Even if In the end, it was the version that was finally presented to everyone. Everyone went back and listened carefully. In the last section B, his voice was a little floaty and a little too sharp. This was purely a technical error, or the voice was not enough. control!"

"However, I would like to say that technically and in terms of singing skills, this song may only score seven, ten, seven points. , its quality also has a gap, but when Li Qian sang this song, the kind of emotional investment, the mellow feeling brought to the whole song, and the kind of emotional explosive power are all his previous works. They can’t even be compared! The song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is also very powerful, but at best, it is only half as powerful as "My Motherland"!"

"It's an extremely clean folk song. Li Qian expresses it in a place that is completely out of his own good range, but it just expresses the strong but natural patriotism to the fullest!"

"I want to say that although there have been countless patriotic songs in China for so many years, this song will definitely be recorded in the annals of history! It will definitely become an unsurpassed classic! Maybe one day, this song will be changed Soprano singers will interpret it more smoothly, freely and mellow technically. However, I believe that even after decades, the song that leaves the deepest impression on us must still be sung by Li Qian This version, the subtle tremors in those voices, the sincerity and purity, and the singing of a child!"
