The Greatest Showman

One Hundred and Ninety-One Bole Appeared

George Slender (-s1ender) walked into Pioneer Village, walked to his usual old position, ordered a single malt whisky, then leaned back in his chair and watched the performance quietly. W?W㈠W?. 81ZW. COM

The singer on the stage looked like a boy next door, without any halo, if thrown into the crowd, he would soon be swallowed up and drowned, which made the whole performance full of an approachable style, but hidden in the melody. The faint sadness in it was so real that George couldn't help but closed his eyes and tasted the lyrics carefully.

I have to say, George had a little surprise.

Now there are more and more singers, but the threshold has been lowered. On the one hand, it is because of the grass-roots fame spree set off by "American Idol", and on the other hand, because the commercialization of the music market is rapidly accelerating. Music is a commodity, and factors such as the singer's appearance, commercial value, and market response are taking up a larger and larger proportion. Instead, essential elements such as singing skills, musical sense, pitch, and creative ability are being ignored.

However, now the boy next door's sense of music is eye-catching, and more importantly, the lyrics and melody of this original song are really good. Such creative singers are becoming more and more rare now, which is one of the important reasons why a singer with certain creative ability but indescribably amazing is recognized by the Grammys.

Although it is said that only listening to one song now, George can't draw a conclusion for the time being. For example, the boy next door's voice is still a little unstable, and the stability of the treble processing remains to be investigated; for another example, the creative achievement of this song is worthy of recognition, but it is only a flash of inspiration, and it is still an iceberg of talent corner.

However, the emergence of such singer-songwriters is indeed a surprise, and the music market needs more such fresh blood. Otherwise, when music becomes a real fast food, the market will become more and more sluggish and completely meaningless.

After the song was finished, Stanley came over and sat down in the empty seat next to him. With a familiar smile on his face, George spoke directly and said critically, "You called me specifically for this big boy. came here?"

Although the performance just now was not bad, it was far from "stunning", and it was not worth his special trip. Could it be that the pioneer village has fallen to this point? How bad is the music market already? Just the emergence of a young singer with creative ability, Stanley can't bear it anymore? Inviting him to the bar again and again to identify?

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed." George's vicious tongue had no scruples at all, and he complained without hesitation.

Stanley was really familiar with this old friend, and he didn't mind at all, but chuckled, "The older you are, the less patience you are now.

Even you are like this, so what more can we ask the market? "

A rebuttal made George roll his eyes, but he couldn't refute. He picked up the whisky on the table, took a sip, and refused to respond.

Stanley raised the corners of his mouth proudly, but instead of directly cutting into the subject, he turned to the left and said, "Have you eaten dinner? Still the same?"

"No one eats your dinner here except that dish." George waved his hand with disgust on his face, as if to chase away flies, and drove Stanley away.

After singing the "Top" song, Ed finally calmed down. The fiery applause at the scene encouraged him. The next performance got better and better, and finally returned to his usual level. Thirty minutes sounded like a long time, but in fact it was over in a blink of an eye. Ed couldn't help but feel reluctant, a little excited, and a little disappointed, and let out a long sigh, "The last song tonight, after asking the original After the author's consent, I adapted the song, hoping to express my respect a little bit."

Ed calmed the boiling and tumbling in his heart a little, and began to outline the strings again. After the melody sounded, someone in the bar blew a whistle. The cold bar added a touch of popularity, which made Ed's mouth rise. stand up.

"Ophelia," Ed chose the song, not only because it was a product of the night he and Renly met, but because it reawakened his inner firmness to his dreams. More importantly, Renly's creative talent once again opened Ed's eyes, whether it was "Cleopatra" or "Ophelia", the lyrics contained poetry and beauty, amazing, hidden The deep meaning behind Shakespeare's writings is worth savoring over and over again, and Ed is truly admirable.

Obviously, Ed is not the only one in the bar who likes this "Ophelia" and is familiar with Renly Hall. Those whistles are the best response, and even Neil and the others in the bar are high Raising his hands, hitting the beat, he joined Ed's singing.

The "Ophelia" performed by guitar is a little weak, the joy and freedom between the melodies have decreased, and the negative emotions of sadness and loss have become more intense, flying up and down in the clear guitar strings. . Ed's singing skills are not amazing, but his voice has a kind of narrative ability. With the ups and downs of musical symbols, the story naturally emerges in his mind, which makes the whole song come alive.

"Oh, Ophelia, you've been on my mind since the beginning of the century; oh, Ophelia, God made a fool like me fall in love."

George's hand holding the whiskey couldn't help but stop in mid-air. This song really brought amazing taste, the flowing melody, the profound lyrics, the contrast between joy and sadness, the maturity and freedom in his gestures, You can clearly see the dazzling talent of creation.

In terms of commercial value, the "top" just now may be better, because the integration of popular elements will make it easier for the public to accept; but in terms of artistic value and song completion, George personally thinks that the latter song is slightly better All in all, this is a song worth savoring.

Ed's performance is really good, even better than the other songs just now. The story behind the lyrics is deeply immersing in it, but what is embarrassing is that Ed's treble is not stable, he put the melody into it. The edges and corners are smoothed out, and the interpretation is explained in a straightforward way, which is moving, but has less impact on the soul.

Objectively speaking, Ed's stories are closer to life, such as "Top", where simple metaphors and simple narratives hide his life comprehension; but "Ophelia"'s story is more poetic and more esoteric , just like a thick "Complete Works of Shakespeare", you must have enough life experience and you must calm down in order to taste the flavor.

In the creation of music, not only the experience and talent of the creator can be seen, but also the hidden background, culture and even class, which is also an important reason why music ranks as one of the seven arts.

What George is even more curious about is, what style would it be if it was performed by the original creator? Who is the singer who created "Ophelia"? In George's mind, the appearance of Johnny-cash (Johnny-cash) could not help but emerge, vicissitudes, decadence, gloom, sophistication, dullness, irritability, and it is very likely that he is still a poet or literary creator... This makes George even more. Further thought of Bob Dylan.

After singing a song, Ed took a curtain call amid the applause of the crowd, then put the guitar behind him, and said into the microphone, "My performance is over tonight, and next, I will invite 'Ophelia' The original author of this song came up, and I hope he can interpret the original version of the song to everyone, then it will be everyone's blessing. Personally, I am looking forward to it.”

The remark made everyone chuckle, and Ed continued into the microphone, "Gentlemen and ladies, please... Renly Hall."

George cast his gaze toward the side stage, and saw a big boy in a white T-shirt and black jeans—literally, that immature face that looked exactly like a boy.

For folk songs that require ideological precipitation and experience, age is the greatest wealth, and the ups and downs of life experience are the only way to create a melody. People often say that suffering is torture for life, but for art It's a treasure, that's what it means.

But the big boy in front of him now looks less than thirty years old - no, he should be less than twenty-five years old, this is really too young, unbelievably young.

Although there have been many geniuses in history, for example, Leann-Rimes stunned the United States with his 14-year-old debut, and he won two Grammy trophies the following year, writing the The history of the youngest Grammy winner has not been broken until 2017, but Li An belongs to the country pop genre, not the folk song.

George's first reaction was that it was definitely not created by the big boy in front of him, the real creator should be someone else. After this explanation, things suddenly become more reasonable. But the problem is that even if it's not writing, just singing, without enough life experience, the singer can't understand the vicissitudes of the song. Ed's performance just now is typical, so the big boy in front of him... Does he want to sing" Ophelia"?

This isn't some youngster's "Truth or Dare" game.

George couldn't help but be a little repulsive. He didn't like people taking music as a joke. I don't know if Ed's introduction was wrong, or his understanding was wrong, or Stanley's vision was wrong? Looking at the young big boy on the stage, George began to resist from the bottom of his heart: the first impression got worse - even if he knew that the other party hadn't done anything at all.

Many times, the first impression is so mysterious, a simple little detail, or an inexplicable action, the heart has already made a judgment; but such a simple judgment will often determine thousands of things. Character Relationships.

George decides: he doesn't like the big boy.
