Chapter 287 The Laurel Goddess
"Some people say that the song "Qingping Diao" is not well done. I don't agree with it. I think this song is not under "Moon Man Xilou". Unfortunately, the arrangement of the whole song is so thin that it cannot The artistic conception of this word is well expressed. After all, this word was written by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang when they were appreciating peonies, and called Li Bai into the palace to write it on a whim.

"Imagine that the peony flowers that can make kings and noble concubines appreciate it and don't want to use old songs to add to the fun, must call Li Bai into the palace to write a new movement, it must be graceful and luxurious. We can also see it from the lyrics,'Yun Thinking about clothes, flowers, and looks, and the spring breeze blowing the threshold of Revlon; if you don’t see it on the top of the jade mountain, you will meet at Yaotai under the moon, "a branch of red and dew condenses the fragrance, and the clouds and rain on Wushan are in vain; if you ask who gets it in the Han Palace, poor Feiyan leans on it." New make-up', 'Famous flowers are all over the country and they are happy with each other, and they look like a king with a smile; explaining the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, the Chenxiang Pavilion leaning against the rails in the north', none of the sentences are not airy, and every sentence has the air of a noble concubine, but this song " The arrangement of "Qing Ping Diao" is really not satisfactory."

"Especially with the jewels of "The Moon Man in the West Building" in front of it, such a gorgeous movement is not as powerful as the graceful lyrics like "The Moon Man in the West Building". Not long ago, "Kong Que" was released, and this "Female Flower" was released immediately, and I didn't have time to elaborate."

"Of course, some people will definitely say that this song "Qing Ping Diao" was placed in the Tang Dynasty itself, and maybe the arrangement is not as grand as Ding Ning's current version. However, Ding Ning is obviously making pop music. Since he made What I want is pop music, so I have to look at it through the eyes of pop music.”

"There is more than one flaw in the writing. Originally, teacher Feng Liqin's graceful and full-bodied voice made up for the shortcomings of this song's arrangement, and it has an overwhelming momentum. I want to lament that the queen of the song is the song. Later, a song with a flawed arrangement can be sublimated into this with just the voice. But in the second half of Mao, a new singer was inexplicably arranged to sing."

"You want to promote a newcomer, I have no objection, but can you be careful and choose a newcomer with a voice that matches Feng Liqin, don't bring out a newcomer who is completely different from Feng Liqin. This newcomer's voice is light and ethereal She opened her mouth, I'll go, it was like a sudden downpour, drenched people, and ruined the momentum that Feng Liqin had built up before singing. She sang a few more lines, ha ha, A thin song is completely compressed into a thin piece of paper, and it can be torn to pieces with a single 'chi'."

"If Feng Liqin is singing about peonies, then this newcomer, I guess she is so intoxicated by the orchids on the bedside, or she is holding a branch of laurel there and sniffing intoxicated herself. In short, it’s just a ruin, it doesn’t match the song "Qingping Diao" at all, it’s a good tiger’s head, but she sang it like a snake’s tail."

"I can assure you that this song "Qing Ping Diao" will never be able to replicate the myth of "Moonful West Tower". It’s about to debut, but I suggest going back to the furnace and rebuilding. With her current singing skills, I bet ten packs of spicy strips, it’s impossible for her to be as popular as Zhang Xuan and Kong Que.”

On June 6, the album "Women's Flower" was released for a week, and the second wave of the title song "Qingping Tune" was officially released.

As for the title of the song "Qingping Diao", there is no doubt that they want to replicate the popular myth of "Moon Man Xilou", so many people paid attention to this song.

With much attention, the song quickly became popular, but the popularity was more accompanied by controversy.

Some people say this song is good, some people say it is not good, there are many reasons for it being good, and there are also many reasons for being bad. Different people hold their own opinions, and the result is mixed praise and criticism. Many professionals have published about this song own opinion.

The main focus of the debate, one is the song itself, and the other is Gu Xi's singing skills.

A more representative of similar reviews is a long and meager article by the well-known music critic Guo Yiwei.

After reading this long memo, Ding Ning felt that what he said was not unreasonable. It was indeed his mistake to ask Gu Xi and Feng Liqin to sing together.

Gu Xi, who is still a newcomer, was completely overwhelmed by the seasoned Feng Liqin, no matter in terms of voice, singing, or skill.

If Gu Xi's part was put first, he thought it might be better, but unfortunately the song has already been released, and it's too late to redo it now.

Whether the song will be smashed because of this is another matter, he is more concerned about Gu Xi's state now.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Xi's singing skills. She didn't perform well in this song. Compared with Feng Liqin, she was indeed too young.

But tenderness doesn't mean bad, he doesn't want Gu Xi to affect his self-confidence.

So, he called Gu Xi over and showed Gu Xi this meager article.

After Gu Xi finished reading, Ding Ning asked, "What do you think?"

As soon as "Qing Ping Tiao" came out, there were voices of controversy everywhere on the Internet. As a figure on the cusp of the storm, Gu Xi naturally paid attention to the opinions of all parties.

The article is meager, and Gu Xi actually read it once before Ding Ning showed it to her.

She was very depressed and uncomfortable at the time, and even once doubted whether she was suitable for singing. Others received rave reviews when she debuted, but when it was her turn, there were countless bad reviews.

However, under the comfort of Jiang Yu and others, she gradually calmed down.

Feng Liqin is a singer who has been famous for a long time. After decades of immersion in the singing industry, it can be said that she has become a master. She can sing everything with ease.

Compared with Feng Liqin, even An Keqing, Xia Ziyan, Zhang Xuan and the others would be blown away, not to mention that she is a newcomer, so it's normal for her to be controversial.

After figuring it out, she realized that instead of complaining about herself, she might as well reflect on herself and try to improve herself.

Therefore, she has been thinking about her own shortcomings for the past two days, thinking about how to improve her strength.

Right now, Ding Ning asked her what she thought. She thought for a while and said, "It's good. Before I officially debuted, I was given a chance to test the waters. It made me realize my shortcomings and what I lack."

Gu Xi's reaction was quite normal, her tone was calm and she didn't seem to be emotional.

But people have two sides, inside and outside, who knows what her real mood is, Ding Ning raised her legs, looked at Gu Xi and said: "Compared with Teacher Feng Liqin, you must be worse, but you are far from what is said on the Internet. This time you will be scolded, the main reason is not that you are not strong, but that you and Teacher Feng Liqin are not compatible, but I insist on combining you."

"It's because I was too impatient. I wanted to help you gain popularity first, but it turned out to be self-defeating. But it's not a problem. Only when there is a topic can be popular. I was also criticized all the way. If your singing is really comparable to Teacher Feng Liqin If you compete with each other, you may be buried in the sea of ​​people."

Gu Xi smiled when she heard the words: "Yes, many people say that you have started to hype again."

"That's not it." Ding Ning also grinned: "To praise a person for his good acting skills, we say that he is full of drama, but I am full of news, with a halo of hype, but I don't have so much energy to hype."

"It's generally a good thing." Ding Ning picked up the tablet computer on the coffee table, glanced at Guo Yiwei's meager article again, and said: "Peony has the atmosphere of peony, and orchid and laurel also have their own strengths. Putting them together for comparison, it is actually a good thing." Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and its styles are different. If you are as famous as Teacher Feng Liqin, maybe everyone will say that you are evenly divided, or that you lose in popularity."

"I think you must have read a lot of comments on the Internet. I suggest you cut it in half and look at it. If you are not good enough, you are good. Don't be too affected by your mood. Anyway, I agree with you. Ding Ning raised his head, looked at Gu Xi and said.

"Yeah." Ding Ning's words were undoubtedly a boost to Gu Xi's ears, and Gu Xi's mood immediately rose: "I also believe in myself, don't worry, not everyone is criticizing me, there are A lot of people are praising me. I won’t be defeated. You don’t have to worry about me. Although you seduced me into this path, I want to go on now. I’m quite afraid that you will Therefore, I feel that I am not suitable to be a singer, which made me worry for the past two days."

"Ha." Ding Ning said with a smile: "No matter what others say or think, I always approve of you. Just like Kong Que, she was often neglected before joining our Wanwei. I believe you have heard of her experience. But if I like her, I can make her popular, and so will you."

Ding Ning is becoming more and more domineering now, and her tone of voice seems to be very similar to her father. Gu Xi smiled and said: "That's what you said, if I don't become popular by then, don't blame me."

Whether Gu Xi will be popular or not, Ding Ning is actually not sure, but at this time, he hopes to give Gu Xi [-] points of confidence, and said: "I said you will be popular, you will definitely be popular!"

Oh, this domineering president, Fan, why is he so likable? Gu Xi smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely be popular. From now on, I will silently recite 'I will definitely be popular' every morning to whip myself, okay?"

"No, you have to shout. There is a way to learn English that is not by shouting, you have to shout." Ding Ning laughed.

"Okay, I'll shout it out." Gu Xi raised the decibel as he said, "I will definitely be popular!"

It wasn't yelling, it was sung in bel canto, the pitch was raised word by word, and finally it was so loud that everyone upstairs and downstairs could hear it, which shocked Ding Ning.

The painting style is wrong, how can you, a gentle lady, have the same nerves as my daughter, Ding Ning opened his mouth: "That's right, you will definitely become famous. Originally, I planned to let you make your debut later, but I changed it I have an idea, I plan to release a single album for you next month at the latest, just two songs."

"So fast? Don't be arrogant." Gu Xi was very surprised.

Everyone has mixed opinions on her performance in "Qing Ping Tiao", but she wanted to concentrate on her cultivation, and now Ding Ning suddenly wanted to let her debut ahead of schedule, disrupting her position.

"It's not impulsive, it's following the trend. You should read this song first." Ding Ning called up a file from the tablet, opened it, and handed it to Gu Xi.

When Gu Xi took the tablet and saw the name of the file, he was immediately elated.

"Goddess of Laurel", isn't the title of the song exactly derived from Guo Yiwei's evaluation of her? Guo Yiwei said she was Laurel, and Ding Ning added the word "Goddess" after it, isn't he just praising her?

Looking at the lyrics again, Gu Xi was extremely complicated for a moment.

"The legend is long and vast like an epic, and it records the anxiety of this period."

"The color is golden, the light of Apollo, but not as brave as Daphne."

"There is no love above freedom."

"Daphne's injury turned into a laurel tree to be stubborn."

"The laurel tree is fragrant, the night wind loves the moonlight, my love is very different."

"Never wear heavy makeup on a plain face, insist on what you like."

"The laurel trees are fragrant, and the clouds are twining with the stars. If I want to talk, I will talk."

"The boundless ocean, the vast imagination, is more extraordinary than anyone else..."

She knew the story of Daphne and Apollo.

The Roman poet Ovid wrote in "Metamorphoses" that Apollo, the sun god, fell in love with Daphne and wanted to pursue Daphne, but Daphne was unmoved.

Apollo persisted, and Daphne was chased by him to dodge everywhere. Finally, she couldn't avoid it. She had to turn to her father Lynn, the god of the river.

So Lynn turned her into a laurel tree.

When he found out that Daphne had turned into a laurel tree in order to avoid himself, Apollo was extremely regretful.

He hugged the laurel tree and apologized to her, and confessed affectionately: "You will be my tree, and I will use your branches and leaves to make my crown, use your wood to make my harp, and use your flowers to decorate my bow." .You will live forever and be crowned with victors."

This is also the origin of the word "laurel wreath".

In the story, Apollo has been chasing Daphne, but it can be said to be a sad story, which reminds her of herself and Ding Ning inexplicably.

Although she did not pursue Ding Ning explicitly, the distance between her and Ding Ning was the same as that between Apollo and Daphne.

She was leaning towards Ding Ning, but Ding Ning kept keeping a distance from her.

Even though Wanwei moved into a new office building recently, she might run into Ding Ning at any time, and the distance between her and Ding Ning did not get closer because of the geographical location.

Not wanting to disturb others, she has always avoided thinking about all the things between herself and Ding Ning.

But this lyric aroused many emotions that were suppressed in her heart, but she quickly suppressed these emotions.

Now is not the time to think about something. Ding Ning's "Laurel Goddess" is tailor-made for her at first glance. The first sentence of the lyrics describes her experience, and the following lyrics are also full of references to her. Encouragement, she really likes it.

Ding Ning is Ding Ning, he can write songs to curse people, turn around, he can also use songs to inspire people.

Can I not be popular?
Looking at this word, Gu Xi felt that she had no reason not to be popular.
