The legend of rebirth

Chapter 209 Flowers
After Tang Jinxiu performed a series of quick and skillful operations, Ye Luo first saw the titles of the two extra songs of Love War this week.

"Maya", "Flowers".

As soon as Ye Luo saw the titles of these two songs, Ye Luo felt a sense of superiority, but he didn't know it.

Yu Yiyi crawled over again, sat cross-legged next to Ye Luo, turned her head to observe Ye Luo's expression, as if she wanted to see some frustrated look on Ye Luo's face.

Ye Luo took a look at this girl and said with a smile: "Let's test you first, Maya, what do you mean?"

Yu Yiyi pouted with a dissatisfied expression, and said, "Teacher, although I am not as good as you in writing songs, I am still a gifted child who can skip three grades in a row. You think it is difficult to get me with the content of this kind of cultural class." ?"

"Okay then." Ye Luo nodded, planning to let this little girl go, but forgot her true nature of talkative, once she opened her mouth, she kept talking, making Tang Jinxiu want to hit the play button originally hand, had to stop.

"The Maya is an ancient nation in Central and North America. This nation has a very strange phenomenon, that is, the civilization is retrogressed.

When European colonists landed in America, they found that this nation was a very backward farming civilization, without metal products, and the farming method was the oldest Pamir farming method, where one crop was planted and one crop was burned, plant ash was used as fertilizer, and there was no wheel at all. .

However, when the Spaniards investigated the ancient books of this civilization, they discovered that the Mayans had advanced knowledge of mathematics, characters, and astronomical calendars a long time ago, especially their astronomical calendars, which were amazingly accurate. The earth's calendar, 5000 The year is only one day away.There is also a Zhuojin calendar that people still don't understand. From the perspective of current astronomy, this should not be the calendar of the earth, but a calendar of a planet that we cannot observe at present.

Then came the question: such a backward civilization, who can't even use bronzes, needs such advanced knowledge of mathematics and astronomy and calendar?They don't even use wheels, so how can they build such magnificent buildings and cities?
The only explanation is that civilization has regressed.But the reason for this retrogression of civilization has always been a mystery through the ages, and some people think it is aliens..."

"Okay, okay." Yu Yiyi spoke very fast, and Ye Luo just said so much, and Ye Luo hurriedly stopped Yu Yiyi from continuing, "Everyone sitting here, either already A graduate student, such as Brother Hu, or a student student at school, such as your advisor, me and your instructor's wife. Although you are also an elementary school bully, this knowledge is really not new. Let's listen to the song first. .”

"Oh!" Yu Yiyi lowered her head and closed her mouth.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Tang Jinxiu shook his head and smiled, reached out and pressed the play button.

Soon, a prelude with a strong R&B style sounded in the dance room. The combination of musical elements was very complicated, and a strange drum combination was added.

After a melodious and special prelude, the voice of Nie Hua, the number one R&B king in China, rang out.

"Dating back [-] million years ago, feathered snakes were hidden in the section of the temple.

Calculate the half chord of the wheel that meets you.

......"

The tune of this song is very smooth and pleasant, and the overall production level is hard to compare with "Mermaid". Moreover, in the lyrics, Ye Luo can tell that Ding Shaoyang used a lot of Mayan allusions.

Ding Shaoyang inlaid this kind of allusion very cleverly. People who don’t understand the history of the Maya will not find it profound. Know that there is another mystery.

For example, "[-] million years ago" at the beginning seems to be an exaggeration, but in fact, the Mayan history recorded on a stone tablet on the top of Queruigua Mountain can indeed be traced back to [-] million years ago.This is also an eternal mystery, because [-] million years ago, the earth was still in the "Paleozoic Era", when trilobites were swimming in the sea, not to mention humans, even dinosaurs had not yet appeared.

"Feathered snake" refers to the wonder of "the feathered snake descending to earth" in the Kukulkan Pyramid.Feathered serpent was regarded as the sun god in Mayan civilization.

Every spring and autumn equinox, when the sunset is westward and the sun is slanting, the shadow of the Kukulkan Pyramid will form a wavy shape like a snake body, and it will be integrated with the head statue of the Feathered Serpent at the bottom of the ladder. The image reflected by the change of angle is like a snake swimming.

Another example is the word "wheel".The Mayans actually had the concept of wheels, which can be supported by archaeological pottery patterns.However, in the life of the Mayans, it was not applied.It is also an unsolved mystery that the Mayans could paint or not use the wheel, a tool that can greatly promote the progress of civilization.

After listening to the whole song, Ye Luo realized that at the end, Ding Shaoyang compared Maya's civilization regression, this historical puzzle, to the phenomenon of IQ regression that occurs when a man and a woman fall in love.

After listening to this song, ordinary people should feel a little curious and strange.But if music fans are willing to look for "Maya", there will still be a sense of historical heaviness in their hearts.

Strangeness and heaviness set off each other, and love and history correspond to each other. In this regard, when it is tied with the arrangement of "Mermaid", this "Maya" is slightly better in terms of lyrics.

"It's indeed a good song that appeals to both the refined and the popular." Ye Luo nodded and smiled, "It seems that Director Ding has become serious this time."

"This song is just a warm-up." Hu Jianing said, "The next song will be even more powerful."

"Yes." Yu Yiyi said, "I thought Ding Shaoyang was just playing in "High Buildings" and "Street Market" before. This time, "Flowers" is finally written by him, it's really nice."

"Then listen." Ye Luo nodded to Tang Jinxiu.

Sure enough, at the beginning of "Flowers", a high-end atmosphere immediately filled Ye Luo's mind.

In the prelude of this song, Ding Shaoyang obviously used a symphony orchestra with more than three pipes. The opening was magnificent and the melody was so beautiful that it was almost epic.

After hearing the prelude, Ye Luo immediately knew who the singer of this song was.

Among the current Tian Lai records, the voice can perfectly control the symphony orchestra, only Deng Qi after the first day in China, there is no second one.

Although the symphony orchestra is magnificent, the accompaniment of popular music is not used much.Firstly, the cost is high. A three-pipe symphony orchestra has about 110 members, and a four-pipe orchestra has [-]. Not to mention the appearance fee, the recording studio cannot accommodate so many people.

Second, the symphony is magnificent and powerful at the same time. The voices of pop singers, limited by their singing methods, are not strong enough and will be suppressed to some extent.

As for commercial music, people are mainly praised, not music. What should be highlighted is, after all, the singer's voice.Therefore, for popular music with orchestra as accompaniment, it should be orchestrated on a small scale.Or, just don't use it at all.

So in today's domestic pop music scene, there are only two female singers capable of leading a large-scale orchestra in Ye Luo's eyes, one Deng Qi and one Song Yan.

Today is also a coincidence, Ye Luo and Ding Shaoyang's sideshow showdown, one is R&B vs R&B, and the other is Deng Qi vs Song Yan.

Deng Qi is a legendary female singer. She has a master's degree in vocal music. Not long after her debut, she swept all the music awards in the Chinese music scene with "Phantom". Lammy nominated song.In the past ten years in the Chinese music scene, she is a well-deserved first day queen.

In the judges' seat of the young girls, Deng Qi appeared very low-key and humble.But Ye Luo knew that when this female singer actually stood in front of the microphone, she would still be the mountain that Chu Mo'er and Song Yan needed to look up to.

In this song "Blossoms", Deng Qi's voice is amazing when it shines out. It is an indistinguishable singing style that combines bel canto and popular sounds: beautiful, clear, graceful and noble, which can impress and captivate listeners at once. By.

So far, the singers who have appeared in Ding Shaoyang's special area are all top singers in the domestic three kings and four queens, and they are all masters.

It’s just that the other singers can only say that they have completed Ding Shaoyang’s songs very well, and can express what Ding Shaoyang needs to express with their voices. Only Deng Qi, with her singing skills and voice, can express Ding Shaoyang’s songs well. songs for further bonus points.

For this song "Flowers", Ye Luo only had one word for her evaluation: beauty.

The style of music is very retro, like old songs from more than ten years ago, or even 20 years ago, but it is really beautiful.The tune, lyrics, and arrangement are all very beautiful, and the artistic conception is also beautiful.

This is a song intended to sing praises. Deng Qi's vocals are accompanied by orchestral music, as if singing all the beauty of love in the world, like layers of blooming flowers.

"Ding Shaoyang, you really are a great master. You did a great job!" Ye Luo couldn't help applauding after hearing this.

This round, Ye Luo did not come up with the best song, and deliberately wanted to see if Ding Shaoyang could win the game, but this does not mean that he deliberately let the water go, after all, "The Mermaid" and "Suddenly Want to Love You" are also very popular. There is an extremely high standard.

Looking at it now, Ding Shaoyang is really good. The standards of the two songs "Maya" and "Flowers" are indeed slightly better.And just like Ye Luo, Ding Shaoyang also echoed the previous episode, "High Building" is a criticism of reality, while "Prosperity" is a praise of love.Since it is called Fanwai, the requirements in this regard are naturally not high, but Ding Shaoyang obviously has higher self-requirements.

The game is like this, it is interesting to win and lose.Originally, Ye Luo was still sweating for Ding Shaoyang, afraid that he would play off.If Ding Shaoyang can't pull back this time, Ye Luo will hang and beat him for many rounds, which is not suitable.

Because next Saturday, the two mainline songs that Ye Luo will present are almost invincible.
