Chapter 224: Hu Ji's Evaluation
The melody of the father's grassland and mother's river has a strong Mongolian tune style, and at the same time combines the emotional expression of Chinese poetry. As a result, this highly regional niche song has been promoted to the whole country and has become an important part of a universal national collective culture.
The lyrics of the song's lyricist have a high artistic conception, which is breathtaking...simple and full of extremely high ideological connotations. The author is completely from the point of view of a homesick wanderer, to express the wandering child's longing for his hometown.
At Zhang Yu's request, Hu Ji showed different states in different positions of the song to express a state of mind that the singer is meditating, calling, and waiting.
In terms of accompaniment, Zhang Yu also paid more attention to the musical instruments of the accompaniment...I did not choose the more noisy electro-acoustic instruments, but chose the orchestra, and at the same time matched the traditional national musical instrument Matouqin. Zhang Yu just wanted to show the openness, vastness and ethereal nature of the prairie.
After Hu Ji finished singing, the audience was silent... It seemed that people were immersed in those beautiful thoughts and pictures, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
After Hu Ji finished singing, he then saluted the audience... The audience began to applaud sparsely, and the applause grew louder and louder, and finally the accompanying screams were deafening.
...
Tian Hao came to Hu Ji's side and said, "It's so good! Are all the songs written by Zhang Yu so good? What about the three teachers, what do you think? Is it similar to mine?"
Lu Ling sighed and said, "It's so beautiful! This kind of beauty in music is something I've never felt before. My father's prairie and mother's river, listening to this song really makes me feel as if I have seen the boundless vastness. Hu Ji, you sing so well, it can be said that you are very sincere in your emotions, and it makes me feel that children from afar miss their hometown. It’s great! Hu Ji! Really.”
Applause from the audience... "Thank you teacher!"
Xu Bingyi said: "From my point of view! Hu Ji, the river song of your father's prairie mother, which you sang, is already in the category of classics. The earth's own national culture. I like this song very much! Even when I listened to it just now, my tears were streaming down. Great Hu Ji! Right now, you are the best singer in the pop group."
Applause from the audience... "Thank you teacher!"
Yan Bo said: "I have to say! Zhang Yu is really a genius. To know that there is no one in China who can combine tunes with regional characteristics into Chinese and sing them in Chinese, and who can match them perfectly. In fact, I have been sighing from time to time these years! The westernization of domestic pop music is too serious.
Young people blindly pursue, what are the so-called R&B, JAZZ, ROCK, Blues, etc... these popular Western music forms! On the contrary, he has gradually forgotten many things about his own nation. I'm not trying to say that Western music is bad. It is the world music, which should be in a state of great integration, which ensures that while each has its own characteristics, it is gradually integrated into new music, which is the future development trend of world music. Zhang Yu has done this perfectly, taking into account the form of regional tunes, and at the same time increasing the broad spectrum of language and words. The orchestration, arrangement, and harmony matching are also in line with the current popular elements. This can be said to be a A comprehensive system sounds simple, but it is difficult to do. Hu Ji, your emotions are just right. It can be said that this song is sung wonderfully, it is unimaginably wonderful. "
The audience let out a deafening shout again... Hu Ji breathed a sigh of relief in the applause and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yan!"
Tian Hao said: "Hu Ji, this song of yours has won unanimous praise from the three teachers. Do you want to say something?"
Hu Ji said: "First of all, I would like to thank the three teachers for their affirmation of me! Then I would like to thank the composer Zhang Yu for giving me such a beautiful song to sing. Finally, I would like to thank the band and the help that accompany me. My teachers who lengthened the key of Khumai. It is the joint efforts of everyone that finally achieved this beautiful and touching song. Finally, I hope that all Chinese wanderers who are wandering abroad, no matter where in the world you live , don't forget the mountains, rivers and rivers of your hometown. I hope everyone can come back often to see this vast land that nurtures our Chinese nation. Thank you!"
...
Clap clap clap clap! Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded Hu Ji...
...
"That's great!" Tian Hao turned to the audience with a smile and said, "Friends! If you like Hu Ji's singing, then you can rate him in the next scoring session. I repeat, we will Among the valid votes received, 10% of the lowest score and 10% of the highest score are removed, and we will take the average score for the remaining scores, which is Hu Ji's final score. Please prepare... The scoring begins! "
The countdown on the screen started... The audience began to enter the score they thought was correct with the scorer in their hands.
55, 54, 53... 3, 2, 1, 0!
At the end of the sixty seconds, Tian Hao said, "The scoring is over! The channel is closed, and Hu Ji's score has been determined. We will reveal his score on the spot at the end of the show."
"The National Professional Singer TV Competition, sponsored by the Golden Dragon Wine Industry Group..."
The audience burst into screams... The exit music also sounded, Hu Ji was happy, waving his arms, and walked off the stage.
...
Dai Bin, who was sitting on the second floor of Asian Music, and the people next to him were discussing Zhang Yu's two unimaginable works... Dong Wenshan sat on the seat, expressionless and silent.
...
The eleventh person on the stage was Cai Lin from the professional singing group. She sang the song "Red Flag Red". Lu Ling thought her performance was excellent. Xu Bingyi said he liked it very much. Yan Bo thought it was not bad, but his voice was a little thin.
...
Tian Hao said: "The singer below is the last contestant to appear tonight. The teachers should be familiar with Tang Yuxin's contestant. What do you think of Tang Yuxin's next performance?"
Lu Ling said: "Looking forward to it!"
Xu Bingyi said, "I'm looking forward to it!"
Yan Bo said: "I look forward to it!"
Tian Hao heard the words: "The three teachers said so little! This is the first time during the national competition. Can Mr. Yan Bo explain! Why don't you say a few words?"
Yan Bo said with a wry smile: "We have nothing to say about Zhang Yu's works! Just wait and listen!"
Hahahahaha! The audience laughed... (To be continued.)
