The legend of rebirth

Chapter 350 Answers
When Ding Shaoyang heard Ye Luo's answer, he seemed to be aware of it, and raised his brows, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Tianhua smiled: "It's kind of interesting, but before that, please listen to me first."

While speaking, the stage went dark again.

Today's lottery for Chen Tianhua is [-]nd and [-]th.The second competition song is his.

Appearing in the depths of the stage are two singers.

Judging from the body shape, one is fat and round, and the other is tall and thin, both are men.

This is like talking about a cross talk, Ye Luo is secretly happy, but he knows in his heart that Chen Tianhua's move must be extraordinary.

When the lights on the stage were turned on, the two singers showed their true faces.

Then the audience's reaction was not the same as Zhen Zhi's appearance. There was only polite applause, and the screams and whistles were completely inaudible.

And these courteous applause were also given to one of the singers, who was Ruan Xin, the king of jazz.

Originally, this singer was basically unknown, but he had appeared in the sixth episode before, and this episode was just aired last Friday, so the audience at the scene recognized him.

Another tall and thin singer, not to mention that the audience couldn't recognize him, even Ye Luo didn't know who it was.His facial features resemble Ruan Xin, but he is much younger, in his early 20s, and he is much taller than Ruan Xin.

"Who is this?" Ding Shaoyang obviously didn't know this young singer, he turned his head and asked Chen Tianhua.

"Ruan Ziyu." Chen Tianhua smiled slightly.

"I've heard the name before, and it's a good rap." Ding Shaoyang said.

"He is also Ruan Xin's son." Chen Tianhua added.

"Oh, that's how it is." Ding Shaoyang smiled, "Then this song should be jazz rap, right?"

When Ye Luo heard it, her heart moved.

Ding Shaoyang's speculation is indeed very reliable.Because Ruan Xin is the king of jazz.

Jazz rap, now available in Europe and the United States, is tantamount to combining classical jazz with the most popular rap, and using a popular way to rejuvenate jazz.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tianhua shook his head: "No, it's soul rap."

"Oh?" Ding Shaoyang nodded, "That's not bad."

Ye Luo knew in his heart that Ruan Xin was not only the king of jazz, but also a soul singer.He is good at both jazz and soul music, and almost no one in China can sing better than him.

Jazz and soul music are two different types of music, which are somewhat similar and can be easily confused.

The reason for the similarity is that both evolved from blues, among which jazz is based on traditional British and American music, and combines blues, ragtime (a kind of black music) and other music types.

Soul music is the product of the combination of blues, rock music and black gospel music.

In terms of style, jazz is more about improvisation and singing, while soul music uses less instruments and occasionally improvises, such as the European and American soul singer Amel.

Jazz rap and soul rap are actually based on popular rap, and then incorporate some jazz or soul music elements.

At this time, the two singers on the stage, in Ye Luo's view, their responsibilities should be very clear. The lead singer of this song is actually Ruan Xin's son, Ruan Ziyu.

And Ruan Xin is actually an accompaniment singer, singing with soul, in the middle of the song, as a background to set off the rap in the foreground.

Ye Luo didn't need to listen to this method. Just thinking about it, he felt very clever.

Because of the strong contrast between the two kinds of music, the slow and melodious soul and the fast and passionate rap are presented at the same time, with a very rich sense of layering, and both rhythm and charm can be considered.

This Chen Tianhua is indeed a top expert.

The performance on the stage was just as Ye Luo expected, and it was Ruan Ziyu who played the leading role.

Ruan Ziyu should be regarded as inheriting his father's career and also a professional singer.

But the difference is that Ruan Ziyu loves rap.Ye Luo has heard of his name, because in recent years there have been several very interesting rap songs on the Internet, the singer and creator is Ruan Ziyu.

The popularity of this name should still be good, but no one knows that he is Ruan Xin's son.

The father likes jazz and soul music, and the son likes rap music. The two styles are very different.

Now, in order to help his son, the father is willing to come on stage as an accompaniment singer. If this is a story-based music program, there will be a lot of speculation in it.

It's a pity that this is a serious music program, so no one mentioned this aspect.No one cares about the story behind it, only the performance on the stands.

And the performance of the Ruan family father and son on the stage also embodies that sentence-brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle.

A perfect song.For the rap part, Chen Tianhua used pure Chinese, passionate and generous, with some social criticism.

Then in the climax part, Ruan Xin's soul music accompaniment was added. There are no lyrics, just singing, but it seems to be the finishing touch.

After the song was sung, the performance of the audience was completely different from the appearance of the two fathers and sons, and the response was very enthusiastic.The two singers impressed everyone present with their skills.

"That's good." Ding Shaoyang applauded: "Although the father and son chose different musical paths, Ruan Xin's talent and dedication to music have been completely inherited by Ruan Ziyu. This rap is of a very high standard."

"Director Chen's composition of this song is also very good." Ye Luo said, "The interweaving, collision, and fusion of soul music and rap music are very exciting.

As far as the proposition of how two different styles of music appear in the same song, this song can be called a textbook. "

Having said that, Ye Luo hesitated for a moment.

As a pop song, Chen Tianhua's song actually has problems, but tonight's theme is rap, so this problem is not serious. Ye Luo thought about it, but still felt that it was fine.

"Indeed." Yu Zuo said at this time, "As far as my personal technical judgment is concerned, this song should be higher than Director Ding's song just now."

"Old Yu, although I drank you a lot last night." Ding Shaoyang smiled, "But you can't avenge yourself publicly."

Yu Zuo shook his head with a smile: "I'm telling the truth, although the song you just played was good, but it has technical flaws, Director Ye has already mentioned it just now."

Yu You also said: "But having said that, the problem you encountered in the first song, Director Ding, is also a problem that has been a headache for us. We brothers have always wanted to do rap music, especially rap rock. But the pronunciation of Mandarin It is hard, and it can be done, but the effect is not as good as English, and it feels like shouting for drinking.

We have also tried to use Cantonese or Hokkien to solve this problem, but the results are mediocre.

We also analyzed the reasons and found that apart from the problem of pronunciation of Chinese characters, we Chinese have a cultural incompatibility with this kind of emotional rap.

Chinese people are more introverted and pay attention to internal cultivation.

Although modern society has opened up a lot, the cultural imprints of thousands of years have penetrated into the bone marrow and will still affect us aesthetically.

When we listen to English lyrics, we will be substituting into the cultural environment of Europe and the United States, so we will feel that this is normal and should be like this.But once we switch to Chinese lyrics, such a straightforward way of speaking will make us feel uncomfortable.

Director Chen's song just now is very good as a whole, but as a pop music, it is flawed because of this problem. "

Ye Luo couldn't help but nodded, this is exactly what the hero thinks and agrees with, Chen Tianhua's song does have this problem, he hesitated just now and didn't say it.

I only heard Yu You continue to say: "Then how to solve this problem, we two brothers think that we should start from two aspects.

First, first of all, to solve cultural problems.For European and American rap, we must discard the dross and extract the essence.More optimism, better intentions and feelings.Rap that is purely venting is not in line with Chinese culture, so it might as well be removed.

The second is to solve the pronunciation problem.The pronunciation of Chinese characters is correct and round. As Director Ding said, it has more momentum but not enough agility. It is difficult to express the sense of rhythm of rap music.We are still figuring out how to solve this problem.

Uh... did I take too long? "

Yu You thought about it after talking for a while, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"You spoke very well." Ye Luo smiled, "Continue."

Ding Shaoyang was also laughing: "It's really good. I can see that you two brothers, it's not that you don't know how to speak, but that you don't want to speak. To be honest, you speak clearly and logically."

Yu You smiled shyly, indicating that he had finished speaking.

Chen Tianhua followed with a smile and said, "Anyway, it's your turn next. Your words are indeed good, and your ideas are very thoughtful, but how well you do it, let's just see the effect."

The third competition song in this show is Shuanggui's.

Shuanggui's first song today surprised Ye Luo a little.

The idea of ​​this song is very good. It sings about the modern changes of Hong Kong Island, from being occupied by the British to returning to the motherland.A lot of events are sung in, the accompaniment is rhythmic bliss, and the flavor of R&B is very strong.

As for the lyrics, the method they adopted was just one word: hurry up!

The lyrics are very dense, and the singer's speaking speed on stage, although there are variations of fast and slow, is extremely fast overall.

And this singer is also a well-known "electric mouth DJ" in Taiwan, Ren Jiayou, born with a quick mouth.

This kind of dense lyrics, as a new song, is actually not very beneficial.There is no popularity in itself, and the audience's ears can't keep up with the singer's mouth, so the degree of acceptance is inevitably compromised.

But fast has its advantages. Once you speak fast, the transition to articulation will be more hasty, which to a certain extent alleviates the problem of lack of agility in Chinese rap.

Therefore, the overall feeling of this song, Ye Luo thought it was very good, very pleasing to the ear, followed the lyrics of the song all the way, and finished listening to it without knowing it.

This attempt by Shuanggui is their understanding and attempt of the future path of Chinese rap.

Although this song has bright spots and slight flaws like Ding Shaoyang's and Chen Tianhua's previous ones, but the awareness has come, the direction is right, what they lack is just an opportunity.

Maybe give them another year or so, and they will be able to get out of this road very smoothly.

In another world, how popular rap music is accepted by the public in China, and how to solve these technical difficulties, someone has already given the answer.

And this answer was in Ye Luo's mind, and it was about to appear on today's stage.
