Chapter 569 Killing the Changshan Man (2)

"what is this?"

On the contestants' bench, there was a girl with a relatively straight personality who defended Hao Shuai, but her voice was not loud enough that the two people on the stage could not hear her.

Professionals can actually tell which one of the two songs is better after listening to it. The difference in singing skills alone is quite obvious, but they didn't expect that the gap in public evaluation would be so big in the end.

The key point is that the melody of Hao Shuai's songs is not bad. If he is making some experimental music that is completely unacceptable to ordinary people, then the score will be low.

But Hao Shuai's songs are definitely catchy, but you need a certain threshold to like the song.

Therefore, many people in the players' gallery could not accept this result.

On the stage, Jin Ya's expression looked a little unnatural, but Hao Shuai didn't express anything, and his face was very calm.

During the instructor's comment session, Yang Li said: "What I want to express is that the performances of both contestants were very good and they both performed to the best of their ability.

Therefore, there is nothing to question about getting this result. This is just the first competition. It does not mean everything. There will be opportunities later. "

It was a mild comment, and both parties comforted him, which eased the atmosphere on the stage.

Luo Quan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to let Hao Shuai express his opinion.

The camera showed Hao Shuai, and he smiled heartily: "Actually, I had already guessed this result when I chose this song as my performance piece."

"How do you say this?" Luo Quan looked at him seriously.

"Chinese rock music is dead." Hao Shuai smiled and made an outrageous statement that surprised everyone.

The reason why it was said to be a riot was because a music program with a rock band theme was aired a while ago, which received a lot of attention and praise. Many powerful rock singers and bands appeared on it, and their works were all pretty good.

It stands to reason that although China's rock music started late and has no scope, it is not going to die immediately.

However, among so many people present, Luo Quan was the only one who did not show a surprised expression.

Because she knew that Hao Shuai was probably right.

Rock and roll is a major category, let alone in China, even in the world, it seems to be half-dead.

How popular was rock and roll in the 1970s and 1980s? Almost everyone in the West does not sing, and countless great bands, singers and even musicians have emerged.

Nowadays, most of the top 100 albums in the world selected by music magazines are rock albums, and the greatest band is also a rock band.

However, even rock music with such a glorious history eventually lost its dominance and came to an end after the times gradually changed.

The type of music is often related to the background of an era.

During the time when rock and roll emerged, Western anti-war, decadent, rebellious, indulgent, and hippie labels were all quite distinct.

And these labels have also become the reason for the prosperity of rock and roll.

The same principle can be seen in China. During the same period of time, rock music dominated in the West, while model operas and popular songs dominated the scene in China.

I can’t say which one is better or worse, but obviously both have their own historical background.

As for the label after the new century, it is probably fast-paced and entertaining to death.

The level of thinking has become lower, the public has become more entertained, and it can be used all over the world.

So, pop music and rap took off.

As for rock music, after the disbandment of Abraham Paradise, it has actually become second-rate.

Although there are still many loyal fans, the number of new fans is decreasing every year, and the new additions to the market are far less than those of other types of music.

After all, in the eyes of mainstream music fans, hard-core rock music is a bit noisy, and the vocals at home may not be as good as those of ordinary singers.

If it's just for fun, it can't be compared to electronic music DJs.

Now tens of thousands of foreign musicians are listening to dance music in the open air, shaking their heads and dancing, getting very high.

But there are not many rock bands that can organize more than 10,000 people.

Love music band is currently the most popular and influential rock band in the world. At that time, many rock veterans once thought that this was the clarion call for the revival of rock music.

As a result, it is actually just an elegy. Rock music no longer has the background of this era and is a thing of the past.

Therefore, Luo Quan didn't have much problem with Hao Shuai's shocking remarks except that he felt it was too early.

However, some words should not be said even if they are true, as they may offend others.

"Hao Shuai, do you know what kind of rhythm will be encountered when these words are spoken?" Luo Quan doesn't know whether the program team will eventually edit his words into the official program, but if it is for the topic, it will definitely not I missed such a "shocking" speech.

"I know, maybe my language is a bit extreme, but I feel that there is really no soil in China."

Hao Shuai paused and changed his tone to a more serious tone: "I actually hope that rock music will develop better and better. I want to contribute my own strength to it, but I think it is difficult."

"No matter how difficult something is, if you don't do it, how will you know if it can be done?" Luo Quan showed a smile, "Never give up and face difficulties. This is also the spirit of rock and roll. In addition, If there are always excellent works released, salvation is definitely not impossible.”

"Thank you, teacher, I understand." Hao Shuai bowed to Luo Quan, and the color in his eyes became more determined.

This conversation had a very positive meaning for him, and a group of mentors were also very fond of this talented and thoughtful young man.

Of course, this does not change the result of his defeat in this competition.

Jin Ya defeated Hao Shuai by a big score and entered side A, while Hao Shuai entered side B.

Although the result was not recognized by the players, it also reflected an aesthetic trend of the public from the side.

After all, most professionals still have to serve the public with their works. Not everyone can create the music they like without any scruples, because as long as they are human beings, they have to cater to the public in order to make money.

Of course, being popular is not bad, as long as it is original and thoughtful, it is already very good.

Everyone knows what the Chinese music scene is like right now. Luo Quan would rather see more original singers like Jin Ya than let Chinese tailoring masters like Cao Fan become popular again.

The good news is that although the public's aesthetics are too popular, the program crew's aesthetics are still relatively online.

Not many of the contestants selected this time wrote assembly-line songs. Everyone’s style is quite unique, and it is not a static pop music. Some songs are of quite good quality and have quite rich elements.

The recording was divided into two sessions, lasting more than four hours in total. Forty-three contestants performed on stage one after another. Although the public ratings sometimes contradicted the instructors, most of the time they were relatively accurate.

After listening to forty songs, several instructors felt a little overwhelmed.

If you can be on the show, the songs must be commendable. Fortunately, there are five instructors, so it is not too tiring to take turns to comment.

As for the quality of the songs, it can only be said that even after screening, they are still uneven.

There are good ones, but there are also quite a few bad ones, and most of them are the type where you can't get up and get down.

However, we encountered a surprise at the end. A male and female group dressed in period costumes presented an unparalleled music feast to everyone.

After listening to it, Luo Quan said bluntly that the quality of the song and the appeal of the performance, coupled with a large dance team, would be enough to qualify for the Spring Festival Gala.

In terms of ability, this is definitely one of the two best performers in this show. The other one is Hao Shuai, who has the best singing skills in the show.

In terms of listening experience, this group's works are more suitable for all ages, and are full of Chinese-flavored mythological epics. After listening to them, it feels like watching a large-scale mythological love series.

This group and Hao Shuai are at the beginning of the contestants' performance, and the other is at the end of the contestants' performance, which can be regarded as echoing from beginning to end.

After the contestants' performances are over, it's the mentor's turn.

As mentioned before, the instructor will perform randomly on the show and record the songs into the show's soundtrack.

As the chief instructor, Luo Quan naturally has to be the first to come, and the songs will also be broadcast before the first episode, which has the meaning of attracting attention.

Of course, it is said that it is a good idea, but it still depends on the specific quality of the song, and this time Luo Quan completely took the lead and came out on top.

At the end of the program recording, when everyone was waiting to call it a day and go back to rest, Luo Quan gave them a soul-stirring performance.

After the song ended, everyone's fatigue was instantly swept away, leaving only indescribable sadness and emotion.

Many players couldn't help but shed tears. They finally knew why geniuses are called geniuses.

Compared with them, who were called geniuses in the past, they were nothing compared to Luo Quan.

After the song was sung, Luo Quan's live tour of the show came to an end, and she would have to provide guidance through the screen in the next few episodes.

The next night, the preview of the show had already topped the homepage and hot search list of Bilibili website.

The editor was quite nimble, and the five-minute program clip was cut out in one night, and the atmosphere was so heightened that it can be described in one word, that is, it is full of attractions.

In fact, just the fact that Luo Quan serves as a mentor is already very interesting.

Since being cheated by I Am a Singer last year, Luo Quan has not taken on a show again. After a year, Luo Quan once again appeared on a variety show. This "annual update" cannot be missed by fans and passers-by.

Fans have long known that Luo Quan will be participating in a variety show, but they didn't know that it was a music variety show. However, judging from the subject matter, it seems that it is to discover young domestic creatives. He has great ideas and a very strong lineup of mentors. There will not be much in terms of professionalism. question.

But if it's just this, it's not enough to make this show a hit.

The song Luo Quan sang for the show's original soundtrack took on this important task.

When the program trailer was released, the live video of Luo Quan's song was also released. In less than half an hour, the number of views exceeded three million.

Not only Bilibili, but other platforms have also triggered huge discussions.

There is this sentence in the comment area of ​​the song: This is a song that makes people emotional just by looking at the title.

Song title: Kill that Changshan man.

(PS. The original song is about killing that Shijiazhuang man, Shijiazhuang was called Changshan in ancient times)

The song begins with a gentle guitar, followed by a slightly melancholy organ solo.

Fans who are familiar with Luo Quan's music style know that the more gentle and gentle the beginning of the music is, the more likely it is that there will be earth-shattering situations in the middle and later parts.

"Everlasting Love" is like this, and "My Heart Will Go On" is also like this.

But before the fans could react, they were shocked as soon as the lyrics came up.

"

I get off work at six o'clock in the evening and change out of my clothes in the pharmaceutical factory.

My wife is making porridge and I'm going to drink a few beers.

Live like this for thirty years until the building collapses

The darkness deep in the clouds, the landscape that floods the bottom of my heart

Crazy people mall at the octagonal counter

Buy a fake gun with a fake bill

Defend her life until the building collapses

Night covers the North China Plain, and sadness soaks her face

………………………”

Many fans were shocked when they saw this lyrics.

In addition to the sharp words and breathtaking intentions, it is also because many of the things described in these lyrics have actually been experienced by them.

Songs with realistic themes are often shocking because they are too realistic, and Luo Quan's singing takes this shockingness to the extreme.

The person sung in the song does not refer to just one person. It is you, me and him. It refers to all the unfortunate people who suffered in that era.

It is precisely because of similar experiences that fans who hear this song feel so sympathetic, and they carry an indescribable anguish and sadness in their hearts.

What's even more sad is that after listening to this section, they began to fear that the song would be banned because of these lyrics.

That such pessimistic thoughts would arise is itself a tragedy.

But in any case, Luo Quan sang about the people's misfortune and unwillingness in this song, and made a cry on behalf of that group.

The passionate and exploding electric guitar in the second half of the song symbolizes the collapse and recasting of rules.

A new order will eventually be built on the ruins, but how many people will remember those who sacrificed for it?

Will it be completely forgotten if it is killed?

This is a question that the song leaves everyone. Luo Quan has completed her task as a singer.

And the discussion that the song will trigger next is other people's business.

After the song was released, there was a frenzy of discussion across the Internet.

This is an achievement that Luo Quan has never achieved since her debut. Even her most popular songs have never reached hundreds of millions of discussions like now.

Fortunately, GQT praised this song, which means official recognition of this song.
