Chapter 121 The Torch Is Really in His Hand
The director immediately gave the camera to the audience, and everyone's expression was super surprised. The only exception was of course Yan Ran, whose eyes were shining.
Is this "arrogant"? This is very arrogant, but... so handsome!
"If you can talk, say more!"
The audience in front of the screen really likes this rhetoric.
"'I don't believe that the long night is coming, because the torch is in my hand', this is the coolest rhetoric I have heard this year!"
"Add a new sentence to my quotations."
"It depends on who says it. If Xu Rui says this, it's very handsome and domineering. If someone else says it, it may be so stupid and second-rate!"
"Others are all about winning and winning the championship, but Xu Rui doesn't take these people seriously at all, and directly rises to the future light of the music scene. This is called pattern!"
Tang Fei didn't expect Xu Rui to be so good, and gave him a thumbs up.
The host was surprised and delighted: "This declaration is powerful. It seems that you have great confidence in the next song. I think the audience can't wait!"
Tang Bie smiled and said: "I believe this song will not disappoint everyone's expectations."
"Okay, the next stage belongs to you." After that, the host stepped back.
Xu Rui stood in the center of the stage, holding the microphone: "Then next, this song "Mountain and River Map" is presented to everyone."
The lights gradually dimmed, and then the ink spread from the feet of the two people, and the sound of drums and chords full of Chinese style sounded, which immediately surprised the audience.
Then Tang Bie's long-tune chant full of national feeling was accompanied by the sound of drums and strings. The grand and distant atmosphere gradually spread, and people's hearts could not help but surge.
But no one expected that Xu Rui would rap as soon as he opened his mouth, but it did not make people feel disappointed or inconsistent at all.
"Look at this mountain with thousands of ravines and rocks
Connecting one river after another
Let the river stars run across the river
Form one bend after another
Compose this picture of the phoenix dancing
The mountains are too high to reach
Splash the ink and write with full pen
Moisten my beautiful mountains and rivers
..."
The director immediately gave the camera to Wu Zhou. As a rapper, he opened his eyes wide at this moment, with a surprised and funny expression.
Other mentors did not expect that Xu Rui would perform a rap in the last show, and Tang Fei also subverted her previous image. Unexpectedly, she was wearing a watercolor dress and singing in ethnic style at this moment, which made people feel even more amazing.
"To the highest point RKZ
Standing on the top of the Himalayas
To the east, it snows heavily
Heavy snow drifts by the Mohe River
To the west, I remember the smoke of war
The wind makes a circle in KS
To the south, the blue sea and sky
The dragon rises from the surging waves
..."
Xu Rui's rap has already made the audience's blood boil. The strong sense of picture makes them seem to be overlooking the vastness of the motherland. After that, Tang Bie's singing directly made everyone boil.
"Paint my mountains and rivers with a brush
Paint this majestic with a thousand-foot sword
The surging river is like a dragon and a snake
I paint my China with my ink and color!"
When hearing the last high note, many people in the audience at the scene and in front of the screen jumped up directly, as if they wanted to express their feelings with this high note.
"The blood is boiling, the blood is boiling!"
"Is this Tang Fei? It feels totally different, so heroic."
"The stage effect is also superb, and the painting slowly unfolds, it is the painting of the mountains and rivers of the motherland, this song is amazing!"
Xu Rui's rap begins again.
"Let me put the Qin and Han dynasties in my heart
Dream back to the Tang Dynasty to paint peonies
Silver hooks and iron paintings are not faded
I outline the magnificent rivers and mountains
..."
She Jianqiu, Weibo ID "Bayinfu", a well-known music critic, is more tolerant of folk songs and Chinese style music, and is very critical of electronic music and rap music, and rarely says good things, but his distinctive style has also earned him a lot of loyal fans and haters.
He watches every episode of "Original New Generation" and comments on every song, mainly criticizing. Even Xu Rui, except for the song "Run to", which he praised a little and admitted that he was moved, he basically did not praise or criticize other songs.
However, in the eyes of many fans, his non-criticism is already the greatest compliment.
She Jianqiu felt that everyone had misunderstood him. Was he a person who was stingy with praise and deliberately created a persona? He was not. Didn't he praise him in "Run to"!
It's just that there are too few good music nowadays, and even fewer good songs that can conquer him. Xu Rui is indeed good and worth paying attention to, but don't exaggerate too much.
With this mood, just now Xu Rui said that he was the person holding a torch in the long night of the music world. She Jianqiu was different from other audiences. He was not excited and even a little disdainful. It's not a good thing for young people to be too arrogant!
But now, he is really convinced.
"Tang Yin, Bo Ju Gong, Wang Shanren Xi Meng Pu Chang Juan
Qu Yuan, Taibai, Du Fu, Su Shi, Lu You, hundreds of poems
Look at how many years these great rivers have been flowing
Look at the majestic green mountains, the aura of heaven and earth
..."
He is a rapper who hates, but he doesn't feel disgusted at all when listening to Xu Rui's rap.
Like many audiences, after listening to it once, when Tang Fei sang "Danqing Bu Yu..." again, he couldn't help but shout out those two words in his heart!
The sound of the military drum and the guqin really rang in my heart, outlining the memories that have been passed down for thousands of years.
As the sound of "splashing ink" ended, a complete picture of the motherland's rivers and mountains appeared in front of everyone on the stage. From south to north, from east to west, 9.6 million square kilometers, the sky is high and the land is vast, the splendid scenery is magnificent, and the history is long, which makes people feel the urge to burst into tears.
Xu Rui and Tang Fei looked at each other, and they both felt the joy and pride brought to each other by the success of this performance from each other's eyes, and then he looked in the direction of Yan Ran.
Yan Ran, like everyone else, stood up and cheered and applauded. Seeing him looking over, she smiled and raised her hands, first giving him two thumbs up, and then putting her hands together to form a heart shape.
This scene was captured by the director keenly.
The audience who were praising the song were inevitably impressed, but in this situation, it seemed normal.
"If I were Yan Ran, I might have rushed up to the stage and kissed him!"
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly want to see this scene."
"Will Yan Ran come?"
"Girl, don't be reserved."
Unfortunately, this song is about mountains and rivers, and what is surging in her heart is pride, not love. Miss Yan Ran is still rational!
She Jianqiu in front of the screen couldn't wait to open Weibo and typed quickly: "After hearing "Mountain and River Map", I realized that I didn't really hate rap for so many years, but I hated the Western rap that promoted "xx is all stupid, I am your father". If you tell me that all the rap in the Chinese music scene is like "Mountain and River Map", then I love rap!"
In the barrage and comment area, many people held the same idea as him.
"It's so exciting, especially the line 'I will paint my China forever', which makes my scalp numb. I never realized that Tang Fei's singing skills and high notes are so strong before."
"She actually has a voice for singing folk songs."
"Although domestic rappers have begun to pay attention to abandoning the influence of Western rap culture, there are fewer venting-style complaints, and they have begun to focus on the positive side and convey positive emotions, but there are still too few excellent works like "Mountain and River Map."
"Thousands of words can be summed up in four words, Xu Rui is awesome!"
"I declare that the torch is really in his hand!"
