The legend of rebirth

Chapter 349 There is a way

Two days passed quickly, and it was Thursday again in a blink of an eye.

The live recording of original good songs has come to the tenth issue.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, Ye Luo's commercial vehicle struggled in the rush hour, and finally sent Ye Luo to Shangdu TV Station.

Ye Luo walked into the studio and realized that she was the first one to come today.

After the rehearsal ended yesterday afternoon, Ding Shaoyang dragged Ye Luo to drink again.Ye Luo was going to go, but Chu Mo'er was afraid that Ye Luo would be hurt by drinking, so although she didn't say anything, she had an unpleasant look on her face.

In Ye Luo's world, Chu Mo'er is the most respected. Seeing that his girlfriend is unhappy, Ye Luo can only decline Ding Shaoyang's invitation.

Ye Luo reckoned that last night, Ding Shaoyang, Chen Tianhua, and Shuanggui had a lot of drinks together, otherwise he wouldn't be the first to arrive, because Biquan Hotel is much closer than Jingshan Community.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Ding Shaoyang came.

"You were lucky last night." Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "If you really came, you won't be able to go back."

"How much did you drink?" Ye Luo asked.

"These three rookies agreed to have half a catty each, but in the end I drank a catty, and the three of them drank a catty." Ding Shaoyang laughed, "Then I have a second drink in the middle of the night, and they quit, which is a disappointment. "

"Old Ding, drink less." Ye Luo persuaded, "You are not young anymore, don't let Teacher Deng wait for you for so many years."

Ding Shaoyang smiled casually: "It's okay, I won't die yet. Let's worry about the other three, this point hasn't come yet."

The on-site recording usually starts on time at eight o'clock, but of course the instructor has to come first, because there are changes in clothes, makeup and so on.

At 07:30, Chen Tianhua and Shuanggui finally arrived, and they were in good spirits.Ye Luo also drank with them, and knew that these people could drink well, and they were in their forties, and they were in good health.

After chatting in the dressing room for a while, before eight o'clock, the instructors came to the instructor's seat and began to sit down.

While the instructor was putting on makeup, the audience had already started to enter the arena, and when the instructors were in place, the auditorium was also full.

Needless to say, the liveliness of the scene was as soon as a few tutors showed up.

At eight o'clock, the director's countdown ended and the recording officially began.

Wang Xiao first came to the stage: "Every audience in front of the TV, audience judges on the spot, good evening everyone. This issue is the tenth issue of our original Chinese songs, but everyone here, except for the instructors, is the first come once.

First of all, let me introduce the type of music we will be competing in this issue.

Tonight, our four instructors will challenge one of the most popular and popular music genres in the international music scene.

Although this kind of music is not mainstream music in our country, I believe everyone has heard or heard of it.

There it is: pop rap.

In particular, compared to previous episodes, tonight's audience will be more fortunate, because tonight's eight competing songs are all written by our mentors present here.

Students, starting from this period, they will only join the competition as arranger assistants.

Alright, let's take a look at the voting rules for this field..."

Wang Xiao finished talking about the same rules as the previous one, and then said: "Mentors, please come on stage and draw lots for the order of performance."

Ye Luo walked up to the stage with several instructors.

This time, Ye Luo got the fourth and fifth places to play, and the two songs were played consecutively.

Ye Luo has been lucky recently, and he can draw any lottery.But this round, because the two songs were produced by the mentor, the level is balanced, and there is no phenomenon that the second song is the main canvassing force, so there is not much difference between good and bad in tonight's lottery.

After the lottery was confirmed, the mentors returned to the mentor's seat, and Ding Shaoyang began to lead the topic.

"Popular rap is a kind of rap music. To put it bluntly, it is a combination of pop music and rap music." Ding Shaoyang said, "Currently in our country, popular rap is still in its infancy, groping, and has not yet been finalized. In fact, there is no strict identification standard for the type of music. But tonight's exam question, everyone should pay attention to it, it is pop music with rap elements.

There are so many so-called rap elements.The rap music in the Americas includes West Coast, Southern, Old School, Midwestern, Latin, hardcore, etc., and we in China have also had rap since ancient times. One of the national singing methods we tested in the last issue is rap sing.

Therefore, so many types of rap have added countless possibilities to our competition tonight.

In China, popular rap has not yet been finalized. Therefore, the songs of our mentors tonight are all in the groping stage. Don't think that this is the standard Chinese pop rap.

Don't let our exploration imprison your thoughts.

Every musician must have his own understanding of popular rap. The sparks that burst out between various genres, different voices, and various ideas are the vitality of music. "

Ding Shaoyang's opening speech won rounds of applause from the audience.

Ye Luo was also applauding. Competing with musicians of this level and realm was a lot for Ye Luo.

Chen Tianhua said at this time: "Director Ding's words won my heart. Alright, let's stop gossiping and start tonight's competition. Director Ding, please go first."

Today's first competition song is Ding Shaoyang's new song.

The lights on the stage dimmed, and a female singer flashed out from the depths of the stage where the faint blue light pointed.

As the stage lights came on, the audience erupted.

The first singer sent by Ding Shaoyang today is Zhen Zhi after the first day of domestic rock.

Zhen Zhi's appearance was already very gorgeous, but today she was wearing heavy makeup, and her whole body was wrapped in a tight leather jacket. The curves were full of curves, which made people's blood spurt, and there was an electric bass in her arms.

The electric bass is bulkier than the electric guitar, but Zhen Zhi is tall and looks very coordinated.

Behind Zhen Zhi, the live band also took to the stage, with drums, two electric guitars, and a keyboard.

Seeing this queen on stage, Ye Luo probably knew the style of Ding Shaoyang's first song tonight.

This should be a rap rock, Rap-Rock.

This type of music is actually an extension of rap metal in metal rock. Compared with metal rock, the melody is more organized and the lyrics are more complete and harmonious, which is equivalent to relying on the direction of popular music.

There are songs of this style abroad, but it is basically not seen in China at present.However, this kind of foreign songs are mostly about venting emotions, and they are full of swear words.

Ye Luo couldn't help laughing, what about roast duck, cross talk, the so-called leaks on Lao Ding's wine table a few days ago, they were all nonsense.

However, Ye Luo still had some expectations for this song.I don't know how Ding Shaoyang will transform this kind of music into Chinese pop rap.

On the stage, Zhen Zhi began to move her fingers on the bass. The color contrast between her fair and slender fingers and her bright red nails was strong and eye-catching.

At the beginning of the song, there is a taste of "funk".

The so-called "funk" is the English "funk", also translated as "sudden stop percussion". It evolved from black jazz and is also considered the predecessor of disco music.

This type of music does not emphasize melody and harmony, but emphasizes the strong rhythm of electric bass and drums.

Sudden stop percussion music was once popular in the United States in the 80s and 90s. Later, when Americans became tired of aesthetics, this type of music fell into a low ebb. After the [-]s, it mostly appeared as a retro style of pop music.

The beginning of Ding Shaoyang's rap rock song is a sudden stop of percussion, the electric bass and drums are beautifully arranged, together with the prelude, the whole audience is nodding to the rhythm, or shaking their bodies.

This way of prelude entry has very good guidance, which can attract the audience's attention to the song at the first time, and the mood is happy, and the state of listening to the song is very relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Zhi's voice sounded, at first it was the libretto, with a low voice, the voice seemed to have been honed by sand and stones, and it was full of grain.

And between the climax of the verse and the chorus, elements of rap were added by Ding Shaoyang.

This rap is an English rap.

With Ye Luo's English ability, he could understand it. As for how much the audience understood, he didn't know.

After the English rap was finished, and then the chorus with Chinese lyrics, Zhen Zhi's iconic volcanic sound sounded, and the audience was shaken by this voice to stand up, and a wave of people rose up.

Ye Luo couldn't help nodding. The live effect of this song was really good and full of appeal.

But the problem is that Ding Shaoyang copied the way of rap and rock in Europe and America, and even the lyrics are in English.

From Ye Luo's point of view, he was somewhat suspected of being lazy, and he began to hesitate. When the tutor commented, should he say it directly, or just take it lightly and let it go.

As a program instructor, if there is a problem with a song, Ye Luo said that he will definitely say it, but the method, language organization, etc. need to be considered.

After the song was performed, the audience responded very well.

"Director Ye, do you have something to say?" Ding Shaoyang is a fine person, and he has an eye for all directions. Seeing Ye Luo's thinking expression, he knew it in his heart, and asked directly.

"The quality of this song is very high." Ye Luo smiled, and planned to rub it along the hair first, and then comment after feeling comfortable, "especially the funk at the beginning, it's very beautiful. But I have a question, I don't know What does Director Ding think?"

"Just tell me if you have any questions," Ding Shaoyang said.

"Let's not talk about the proportion of the rap part of this rap rock. Why did Director Ding choose English for the lyrics? Isn't it better to use Chinese?"

"I'll tell you the truth. This song, my earliest version, this rap is in Chinese." Ding Shaoyang said, "But after listening to it, it feels awkward no matter how you listen. Once the lyrics are changed to English, it will be comfortable. I To sum it up, this may be caused by the pronunciation of our Chinese. There is a clear distinction between words and words in our Chinese pronunciation. When rapping, it can be more sonorous and powerful than English, but the coherence is much less. The sense of rhythm It's hard to embody.

Therefore, once in this kind of rap and rock, the Chinese rap will appear to be out of tune with the accompaniment and a little monotonous.

As a Chinese, I really want to use Chinese rap lyrics, but I can't solve this problem for the time being, so for the sake of effect, I have to use English lyrics.

I think after this program is broadcast, how to solve this problem technically, everyone may wish to work together to see if there is any other way. "

"Oh..." Ye Luo nodded, "There is a way."

"What way?" Ding Shaoyang asked.

"Let's listen to it later." Ye Luo smiled.
