Chapter 603 "Fireworks Fade Easily"

As soon as the prelude sounded, the audience felt something was wrong. This music seemed to be even sadder than the story.

This song "Fireworks are Cool" won the 2011 Best Composer and Best Lyricist awards. This is already commonplace for Jay Chou and is not a big deal.

The real strength of this song is that everyone thinks it is a "Chinese style" song, that is, the pentatonic scale corresponding to "Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu".

Even the die-hard fans think so, but this song that looks like Chinese style is not Chinese style at all.

In Chinese style songs, the two notes 4 and 7 rarely appear, such as "Dong Feng Po" and "Lanting Xu", while "Fireworks are Cool" has a lot of 7.

Of course, Xu Nuo did not tell the audience what style this song is, first, everyone can't understand it, and second, there is no need to do so.

There are still masters in the live broadcast room, and they have given up their expectations for Chinese style.

Facts have proved that this genre sounds great, but it is really difficult to write good works.

And the instruments used by Xu Nuo made everyone believe that this is not Chinese style.

Guitar, piano, drums, none of them are classical instruments, all are Western instruments.

He put his hands on the piano, but he didn't play it. Zhao Lei's guitar started first.

The audience didn't think it was a big deal. In their opinion, it was normal to start with the guitar. Many singers rely on guitar accompaniment.

But in the live broadcast room, the composers were a little confused.

Guitar singing, that's what you play when you are solo. No one will start with a guitar for serious arrangement.

They all don't understand this operation.

Then, Xu Nuo pressed the keys with both hands, and the cold melody began to sound.

The piano was cold and sad, and the guitar was solemn and low. They intertwined together, making the whole atmosphere even sadder.

The story Xu Nuo just told made many people unable to get rid of that sadness. Now that the music sounded, it was even more difficult for everyone to get rid of it.

"The sound of prosperity has escaped into the empty door, which has exhausted the world.

The dream is cold and the debt of love has been accumulated throughout life.

If you accept the life and death waiting,

waiting for the rings of years."

Xu Nuo's voice is very clear, but when he sings, his voice is a little low, like a sad general.

The lyrics are poetic and picturesque, and the melody is melodious and graceful. The audience feels as if their hearts are gently grabbed by something.

The faint melody falls on everyone's heart like raindrops, stirring up waves of ripples.

In the live broadcast room, the composers who are ready to run away almost popped their eyes out.

They are full of question marks.

Why can piano and guitar write a song with a very "Chinese style" feature?

Why are there so many "7" in the melody, but it sounds like "Chinese style"?

There are no traditional instruments such as erhu, pipa, and flute, and the scale does not avoid 7, but it still sounds like a "Chinese style" song.

The masters were all dumbfounded. They had tried to compose music with 12356 countless times, but found it difficult to come up with good ideas.

Missing two notes is a huge challenge for most people.

But Xu Nuo, the founder of the school, actually started using 7. What does this mean?

Is he going to overthrow the school he created?

"Whose soul was broken by the broken floors of the pagoda?

I ran straight to the collapsed mountain gate with a broken lamp.

Let me wait for history to turn around,

Wait for the wine to be mellow, and wait for you to play a guzheng song."

In the main song, the lyrics vividly describe the Galan Temple in the story.

The general who fought for many years and went through life and death, when he came back, he saw only the collapsed mountain gate. Under the green lamp and ancient Buddha, the beloved woman was left with only a lonely soul.

I can never wait for that glass of warm wine, and I can never wait for that guzheng song.

Coupled with the melancholy piano, solemn guitar, and mournful violin, the audience collectively broke down.

At this time, someone noticed that Lin Wanqing was sitting in front of the drum set and had not played the drum set until now.

This is very unscientific.

Although the drum set appears in this song "Fireworks are Easy to Cool", it is not normal.

The audience could not figure out how to combine a passionate instrument like the drum set with a sad Chinese love song.

After the main song was sung, the music almost did not stop.

The next second, Lin Wanqing moved.

Everyone thought that the rhythm of the chorus might change greatly, such as becoming more passionate and more powerful.

After all, it was a song sung in the tone of a general, so it was reasonable to become passionate.

However, many people subconsciously prayed that it would not happen. The low and sad main song was very consistent with the atmosphere of the story. If the rhythm was suddenly changed, the artistic conception created by the song would be ruined.

Many people even hoped to let the drum set go.

Lin Wanqing beat the drum set with both hands.

The sound of the drum set was gently added to the music.

It was not as intense as everyone imagined. This feeling was very wonderful.

Lifting it heavily and letting it go gently, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"The rain fell and the grass and trees were deep in my hometown.

I heard that you were always alone.

The mottled city gate was occupied by old tree roots.

The echo on the stone slab was waiting again."

In the chorus, Xu Nuo's voice did not rise substantially, but the emotion went a step further.

I think the generals who were fighting outside would always think of that woman whenever the drizzle continued.

A heartless person may not be a true hero. A general who cares about others obviously has more human brilliance.

The audience was intoxicated, and the masters who were peeping at the screen in the live broadcast room were completely dumbfounded.

Xu Nuo pronounced the words very clearly, and they heard it very clearly.

Li Zhengyi shook his head and sighed.

These sentences used the "introduction, development, turn and conclusion" just right. It's nothing, it's just the lyrics, and he also has the ability to write such lyrics.

What really made him sigh was such lyrics and composition. The reason why the pentatonic scale does not include 4 and 7 is not that they are exclusive. The key point is that 4 and 7 are a little conflicting with the pentatonic scale.

The main reason is that 4 and 7 are not in sync. Writing in an incompatible scale is easy to create a sense of abruptness.

4 to 5 is a big step up, and from 5 to 4, it comes down all of a sudden, and the momentum is gone, which is difficult to handle.

Then can we not use 4 and 7? Of course, if not, just use the pentatonic scale, at the cost of two fewer scales.

But "Fireworks are Easy to Cool" is very unusual. It not only uses 4 and 7, but also connects perfectly. The use of semitones makes the whole song natural.

"The rain falls in the old hometown and the grass and trees are deep.

I heard that you are still guarding the lonely city.

The sound of the shepherd's flute in the suburbs falls on that wild village.

It is our fate to take root."

The cold and desolate singing voice and the low and mournful music render this atmosphere to the extreme.

The scene is very quiet. It is April, and the Qingming Festival has just passed. How can people not feel sad when hearing such a song on the ancient road in the suburbs?

The gentle drums and sad piano play the classical style that only traditional instruments such as erhu, flute, and guzheng have.

This is no longer a new style, this is a breakthrough.

In the live broadcast room, Li Zhengyi felt for the first time that he might not have a chance to catch up with Xu Nuo.

He originally wrote a "Chinese style" song during this period and planned to release it at some time. However, after listening to this song that is not Chinese style but better than Chinese style, he felt that it seemed unnecessary to release it.

"Listening to the laughter of youth makes many people envious,

The history is too gentle and unwilling to write,

Fireworks are easy to cool, and people are easy to separate,

And you are asking me if I am still serious."

Personification is a common technique in literature. Youth becomes a young and beautiful girl, and history becomes gentle.

The gentle history and lively youth bring endless imagination to everyone.

However, the tragic ending has not changed. The more beautiful the imagination, the more sad the ending is.

Fireworks are easy to cool, and people are easy to separate.

No matter how bright the fireworks are, they will go out in an instant, and the beautiful love is the same, which is fleeting.

Li Zhengyi kept sighing that such words could not be written, no matter whether he looked up the classics or racked his brains, he could not think of such lyrics.

Cultural heritage is something that cannot be seen at ordinary times. Only when it is really used can we know its importance.

"Who is still waiting for the deep love of generations after a thousand years?

How can the history not be true to Wei Shu Luoyang City?

As if you are passing by the door of the previous life,

Follow the world and follow me to wander for a lifetime."

Not only Li Zhengyi, but other songwriters who peeked at the screen also shook their heads and sighed.

There is nothing special about the images of the empty door, annual rings, mountain gate, tree roots, and fireworks. Educated people can write them, but Wei Shu Luoyang City is not something that can be written casually.

The Wei here is not Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, but the Northern Wei. Wei Shu Luoyang City cannot be understood without some knowledge.

The country is broken, but the mountains and rivers are still there. The city is covered with grass and trees in spring.

The old friend has gone, and the general has no worries.

I fought for half a lifetime and killed countless enemies, but I couldn't give my beloved a complete home.

Everything seemed to be yesterday, but yesterday can never go back.

The atmosphere on the scene was a little too sad, the audience's eyes were wet, and the audience in the live broadcast room also broke the defense.

After two verses, the sadness has accumulated to the peak.

At this time, Xu Nuo used a rap to dilute the sadness.

"The rain falls in the old hometown, the grass and trees are deep,

I heard that you are always alone,

The mottled city gate is occupied by old tree roots,

The stone slabs echo with waiting,

The rain falls in the old hometown, the grass and trees are deep,

I heard that you are still guarding the lonely city."

The rhythm is faster, the emotions are more intense, and everyone is pulled out of the sad atmosphere at once.

The Chinese style melody, coupled with the Western rap, is actually not inconsistent.

It's okay to be sad, but being too sad is not a good thing.

Many people don't understand the principle of too much is as bad as too little.

When hearing this rap, many people were dumbfounded.

It is difficult to understand that rap is added to Chinese style songs.

However, the artistic conception of this song has not been destroyed, and it seems that the general and the lonely grave are still in front of us.

After the compact rap, the song finally came to an end.

"The sound of the shepherd's flute in the suburbs falls on that wild village.

It is us who have taken root in the land of fate.

It is us who have taken root in the land of fate.

Listening to the sound of rain in the Kalayam Temple, we hope for eternity."

It was repeated twice in a row, and finally the wish in the heart was expressed: "eternity."
