Chapter 341 Protein and Middle Finger

In fact, to some extent, works like "The Song of Yue People" are definitely not for ordinary fans - for the vast majority of normal fans, works like this, once in a while, are still I think it's good, and I even think it's quite high. But in fact, it is impossible for them to really like this kind of works.

Yes, even after listening to it, many people will feel that opera is really DIAO, and Peking opera is really skillful and exquisite, but it is useless. You let them sit on a chair and listen patiently for more than an hour. They can't stand it, they can't love it, but you let them stand in a stadium and listen to a great concert--if it's a rock concert, it's even better--they will be excited with every part of their body. Every capillary is surging with hot blood.

It’s not that they think opera and Beijing opera are bad, it’s just that those things make most ordinary people feel alienated immediately, feeling that although that thing is good, it doesn’t belong to them, and they can’t enjoy it.

In a word: Those things are too far away from their lives. So they will reject it from the heart.

The so-called high-ranking and low-ranking people are by no means empty words.

Even at the current Changping Music Festival, these audiences who come to the scene should be regarded as more reliable, relatively high-end and niche fans in China, and should be regarded as one of the few potential audiences for works like "Yue Ren Song" One of the groups, but to be honest, there are relatively few people who really understand and like it.

No way, three thousand years ago, this was definitely one of the best and most outstanding love songs at that time, but three thousand years later... Brother, what are you singing about?

If the pop style is the music style with the largest audience, then in China, folk songs that belong exclusively to China are a kind of pop music direction second only to the pop style. Sometimes, when they meet some outstanding At the time of writing, folk songs are not much more popular than popular ones. Compared with them, rock is really only a relatively niche category.

But even rock and roll has an audience that is many times larger than the ancient style that musicians have exhausted their efforts to create. The "Yueren Song" sung by Li Qian is exactly such a kind of audience. Narrow works.

But...it's a music festival!

This is not a Spring Festival Gala that requires family reunion, nor is it He Runqing's concert.

The audience who often come here to listen to music must be the audience with the strongest ability to accept various styles of music among the domestic audience groups-this is a very open stage!

And Li Qian didn't intend to please his fans here.

Furthermore, the relatively narrow audience does not mean that there is no audience.

Especially, this is a singing scene!

When the scene was so quiet, so quiet that only the sound of the piano and his own singing remained, Li Qian knew that the purpose of his trip had been basically achieved.

Although in retrospect, there may be many fans who do not like this type of work, but it does not prevent them from sinking into this deep and distant artistic conception at this moment.

Singing the song "The Song of Yue People" requires quite high singing skills.

Vocal chords, breath, labiodental, nasal... are very complicated, and the beauty is only in the subtleties.

In short, the reason why I chose to work overtime to release this song with Wang Huaiyu, and the reason why I sang this song at the opening ceremony of the music festival, is that I encourage certain explorations at the music festival. This gesture encourages domestic musicians to make more and richer music, and for him, it can be regarded as a phased summary of his progress and growth in the past few years.

So, the result is that even though some people will involuntarily show a look of confusion——

Um, yes, yes, yes, I think he sings DIAO very well!

But... what was he singing about?

However, among the 20,000 to 30,000 ordinary fans at the scene, most of them have already been immersed in the remote artistic conception created by the singing, listening to it leisurely and fascinated.

And some experts, such as Xie Jinshun, Xie Mingyuan and his son, Liao Liao, Zhou Mo, Cao Zhan, Zhao Xinfu, etc., were even more impressed by what they heard, and were deeply touched by it.

On the stage, Li Qian sang more and more emotionally.

The sound of the piano is faint, and he is half sad and half chanting——

"Being ashamed is good, don't be ashamed.

I was so upset that I learned about the prince. "

On the stage, Wang Huaiyu sat down cross-legged, playing the piano with his heart, Li Qian was holding the microphone, eyes half-opened and half-closed, completely forgetting himself, while Liao Liao and Zhou Mo looked at him in surprise, both of them made no secret of the fact that they were in their hearts at the moment. fire of love.

And Li Qian finally sang the climax of the song——

"Mountains have trees and trees have branches,

The heart says you don't know. "

This is definitely Li Qian's best performance in recent years.

Almost everything, the control of voice, the control of breath, the investment and restraint of emotions, have reached the best state he can achieve so far.

There are only a few lines of lyrics, long and slow rhythm, almost singing and mourning!

When he finished singing, he held the microphone, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and listened quietly to the sound of the guqin.

Everyone thought there would be a second time, but no, after Li Qian stopped his voice, about 20 or 30 seconds later, the Guqin sound stopped. When the last sound lingered in and out of the venue, Wang Huaiyu took a deep breath and stood up holding the piano.

The entire audience was slightly confused.

Li Qian nodded his thanks.

The scene was extremely quiet.

But Li Qian was not prepared to wait for the audience's applause, he chose to leave the stage without hesitation.

Seeing his actions clearly, many people came back to their senses, and then applause rang out.

Of course, some people applauded sincerely and liked it so much, while others simply agreed, or in other words, to save face for Li Qian.

Those who are satisfied will naturally not ask for anything more at this time. From the perspective of those who understand and like it, the song just now is like a small order, but it has a long meaning. This time, I can gain so much A song, contented!

However, there are more people who have been holding back for a long time!

From the beginning to the present, Li Qian actually only sang the song "Shame on the Ground", isn't it!

Although Liao Liao sang, Cao Zhan sang, and Zhou Mo sang, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile, but everyone still wanted to hear Li Qian sing even one more song—the one just now I don't know if it sounds good or bad, it doesn't count!

So, someone took his head and shouted, "One more song!"

And then, more people shouted, "One more song!"

But it was useless, only Liao Liao said, "Thank you" when he got up, and Li Qian even just nodded at the audience area when he walked off the stage, and made a gesture of clasping his hands. Besides, there is no intention of turning back.

As a result, some people were confused, and some people complained.

The audience chattered——

"Fuck, did you understand just now? That song...how do I feel..."

"Actually, that song is pretty good, but... I want to listen to the lead singer rock!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't sing rock and roll, just like the last time at He Runqing's concert, you can also sing a folk song! As a result... I don't think I can understand that song. Suddenly I feel like a bitch!"

"You can't say that. In fact, that song is quite good. I guess you didn't pay attention to it?"

"Damn! The leader's song, and it's so solemn, can I not listen to it? But I really don't like it! I love to listen to folk songs, and I also like to listen to contemporary folk songs. He made a folk song from 3,000 years ago. It's amazing to like it!"

"..."

Wang Xiaodao, who was also a little confused, has already stepped onto the stage, first praised Li Qian's singing skills, and then hurriedly announced the next guest to appear on stage.

But when Li Qian and the others left the stage and came to the backstage, the reaction from the backstage was completely opposite to the front.

As soon as he stepped off the stage, Cao Zhan couldn't help complaining to Wang Huaiyu and Li Qian, "I said you two are hiding too deeply, no wonder he asked Lao Wang for a drink recently and he said he was not free and would never come! So you The two are holding back this! But I have to say, this song is DIAO!" Wang Huaiyu laughed, but Li Qian looked calm.

After entering the backstage, Zhao Xinfu was the first one to come over to say hello, and said, "Young Master Qian, the height of this song is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Admire, admire!"

After Li Qian said a few words of politeness, more people came running over, and almost all of them looked amazed—a layman watching the excitement, and an expert watching the doorway. It's normal for ordinary audiences not to understand or like it. If professional singers can't understand or appreciate it, then to a certain extent, it can be said that his love for this profession is not in place.

Because the composition, arrangement and singing skills contained in this song have almost reached a wonderful level!

Of course, when Xie Mingyuan came over, the first thing he said was, "Humble, be careful! I admit that you have done a great job with this method, but this method cannot be sold in China!"

On the contrary, it was Xie Jin who thanked the old man and retorted to his son excitedly: "Music that cannot be sold is not necessarily good music! How many people can understand Van Gogh's paintings? Kafka's novels were not written by him during his lifetime." No name?" Then, the old man looked at Li Qian with a straight face, and said loudly: "Boy, you did a good job! This song is also well written! Everything is good!"

Li Qian chuckled when he heard the words, half explaining half self-deprecatingly: "I just want to try it out. In fact, the ideas and things are not too mature. And...the market is not mature. I just think that this kind of things , it was still necessary to do it, so I did it. Someone has to do it!"

Mr. Xie Jinshun nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, but Xie Mingyuan was speechless.

But after a pause, he said again: "Or, if you want, Sony has channels all over the world, you know that. I think you can consider cooperating with Sony for this album, and I will help you Promoted to the world, this authentic Chinese taste may not be popular in China at present, but it is difficult to say it internationally!"

Hearing this, Li Qian just smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Promote internationally...that's what I will definitely do. But not now, nor with Sony, and...not just this way."

After a pause, he smiled again and said, "When you turn around and stop working at Sony, what about the two of us doing this together?"

Xie Mingyuan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "My good fellow, I'm still trying to persuade you, but you're planning to poach me?"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, "There are no absolutes in this world!"

…………

Night, villa.

Liao Liao put his head down and worked hard for a long time. After finally finishing his work, he ran to the bathroom, vomited and rinsed his mouth, and then ran back to see Li Qian lying there with his eyes squinted, looking as if he was out of his mind after being so refreshed. At that time, I leaned over and breathed out at Li Qian, "Smell, you can smell it yourself, are you flirtatious!"

Li Qianyi refuted her sternly: "That's protein!"

Liao Liao gave a "tss" and said disdainfully, "Next time I'm done blowing, I'll come and feed you, okay?"

Li Qian raised his middle finger without hesitation.

Liao Liao returned the middle finger!

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the performance of the Four Great Beauties at the Changping Music Festival can be regarded as anticlimactic, but that is obviously not Liao Liao's view. On the contrary, in her opinion, the "Yue Ren Song" is simply too awesome.

Otherwise...without being involved in favoritism, how could Da Liao Liao be the kind of person who would easily agree to be bitten by Li Qian!

When she also lay down, the song was still spinning in her mind, so she couldn't help but stand up again, looked at Li Qian, thought for a while, and asked, "Hey, why don't we make today's song?" Bar?"

Li Qian nodded, then shook his head again, "I want to do it. But I don't want to make this song right now. I will consider doing some classical things later, but this song... the market is still too narrow! Whoever wants it later, give it to me." Make the soundtrack for those film and television dramas!"

Liao Liao blinked his eyes and wanted to say that it was a pity, but then he thought again, Li Qian has always done things very methodically, since he planned it like that, he must have his reasons, so he didn't say any more. Said, just couldn't help asking curiously: "I know you, since you have one, you must have others. How about it, you have to have works of this style, right?"

Li Qian looked at her with a smile, and said, "You, don't make such an idea. Later, I will help you make another album. Well, in short, it will be a very DIAO album!"

Liao Liao snapped his fingers, "That's it!"

But after a pause, she was still curious, and couldn't help but said: "What kind of album are you going to make, even if you hum a few words for me first? Will it work? Let me have fun first!"

Li Qian opened his eyes to look at her, saw her hopeful face, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Well, let me tell you a story!"

Liao Liao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "Okay! What's the story?"

Li Qian thought for a while, and said: "In a certain place, of course in our country, there is such a little girl. Her older sister is dumb, but the two sisters have a very good relationship. Then one day, her older sister suddenly disappeared. , just disappeared completely. She chased many people and asked, father, mother, neighbors, but no one answered her, so, gradually, she just knew that her sister went to a far away place to serve the gods It wasn't until she grew up that she found out that her sister had died, but the death was very sacred, because she dedicated herself to the gods, and her skin had been made into a sacrificial drum..."

***

There is another song called "Sister Drum".

In a real sense, this is the first work that has achieved international reputation for the domestic music scene.

Then, OK, Wen Qing is over, this section of the plot related to "Yue Ren Song" is really not scribbled, and you will know it later.
