Chapter 219 Some bold choices

“Don't forget me, I beg,Nothing, compared, no worries or cares…”

(Don't forget me, I beg you, the world without you is meaningless, no one is worried, no one cares...)

On the stage, Jiang Mengying looked up at the ceiling at 45 degrees and stretched out her hand and sang like a grudge. Everyone could feel the emotion of trying their best to keep her from her body language and singing.

Unexpectedly, her song is still bilingual in Chinese and English, and a large English show was released in the chorus.

Perhaps in Jiang Mengying's view, imported objects such as orchestra and bel canto singing are not matched with some English singing styles, and it seems that there is only a little meaning.

That will prompt her to add English to the lyrics.

Just like in some documentaries introducing China in Europe and the United States, there will definitely be "Man Should Be Self-reliant" and "Sweet Honey" as background music, otherwise it will not be "authentic" in their opinion.

Although it sounds good to do this, at least to those who know English, it is excellent, the songs are also very good, and the lyrics are also meaningful.

However, in this world, the artistic level of the East and the West is actually comparable. There is no east wind that overwhelms the west wind, nor overwhelming the east wind. It is probably at a level where no one obeys each other and everyone has the same influence.

In this case, most countries in the Chinese cultural circle are not very good at listening to English songs and Hollywood blockbusters.

Because the various cultural products produced in the Chinese cultural circle are already rich enough, there are dozens of large-scale production movies with investments of hundreds of millions of yuan every year, and there are also various Chinese golden songs and songs every year.

The most important thing is that the cultural invasion of Chinese culture has been done well. People in 20 or 30 countries in Asia have grown up watching Chinese movies, TV series, and listening to Chinese songs for decades.

This is very similar to Ye Weiyang's previous life in the 1980s and 1990s. From Japan and South Korea to Southeast Asia, they are all pursuing Hong Kong stars.

In this case, Jiang Mengying sang an English song on the stage of "I Am a Singer and Writer", which was not so pleasing. At least half of the audience couldn't understand...

Although musicians often say that good music is not limited to language, no matter what language you sing, it can touch people.

But, let’s admit the reality. There are still more ordinary people in this world, and there are not so many musical cells to think about these.

Science has no borders yet, why isn’t everyone a scientist?

Many viewers couldn't help but post barrages and complain after hearing Jiang Mengying start singing English.

"I sang well, why did I start adding English? It's inappropriate."

"Chinese songs are Chinese songs, English songs are English songs. What's the matter of half English and half Chinese? Is it just half listened to?"

"I have to have not heard English songs for three or four years. There are no English songs that are popular all over the world recently. Why is Jiang Mengying thinking about singing English?"

"Hey, yes, the only English song that has become popular all over the world in recent years is Alena's "Dream". These are all songs from more than four years ago."

As we chatted, the topic of the barrage deviated a little, and everyone actually started to talk about English songs instead of continuing to concentrate on appreciating Jiang Mengying's stage.

Look, this is the disadvantage of singing English songs in Chinese programs.

Although I can't understand it, at least 50% of the audience will be distracted and cannot completely substitute and resonate.

This is a very disadvantageous situation in competitive shows!

Unless it is sung to a professional jury or judge, such competitions that rely on public voting and audience ratings cannot be sung in English.

Because this means that the innate way of keeping half of the audience who don’t understand English out, silently raising the threshold for listening to music.

When Jiang Mengying's English chorus was finished and then turned back to Chinese, many viewers had already developed a sense of separation from the song. The amazing effect created at the beginning was at least half dispersed.

Only the public judges on the scene, almost everyone has the ability to appreciate English songs, and at the least they can understand English. They do not have this sense of separation and are still intoxicated by listening.

The song structure, lyrics and music fusion, the arrangement of the special string orchestra, and Jiang Mengying's use of some bel canto singing styles, each point was very popular among the public judges.

In terms of professionalism and audibility, this song is perfect, at least in pop music, it is already the best among the best.

After a song was sung, the last ending sound was lingering, and the 301 public judges all gave enthusiastic applause, and the enthusiasm of the palms to be red.

Chu Qiu raised his hands and applauded, while still feeling unsatisfied: "It sounds nice, the switching between Chinese and English is very silky, and he cleverly used two sets of rhymes. The Chinese rhymes and English rhymes are completely different. They are not simply translated into Chinese or English translations!"

"You can hear that Jiang Mengying has put in a lot of effort in this song, and she has done it very well!"

"The band is a bit dangerous. Jiang Mengying has been holding it in for a long time. I wonder if there are any songs that the band can compete with "Sunny Day" on the band."

"But it feels difficult, it's not that easy to get a good song."

Hearing Chu Qiu's sigh, Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows: "That's not necessarily."

She was still full of confidence in Ye Weiyang, and Zhou Ting was not very interested in English. She has been a poor student since she was in school, so she actually didn't have a high sense of substitution for this song, which means she thought the arrangement and melody were good. If you really empathize with the song, it wouldn't be possible.

So she is still looking forward to the performance of the band that never closes.

In the backstage, the band members who were ready to go on stage at this time were actually a little worried.

"Weiyang, this song is so strong, can we win?" Puding said with some trepidation and disconfidence.

After all, Jiang Mengying is a veteran singer. She performed very well tonight. It can be said that she has shown her peak strength.

The band has only debuted for less than a year, so it would be strange if Pudding is not afraid.

"It's okay, this song is very good, but Teacher Jiang still has a trick. The competition tonight is live broadcast, and the audience votes."

Ye Weiyang smiled and said calmly: "If it was voted by the public judges, I was actually quite worried. After all, the public judges are very professional, and they evaluate songs from a professional perspective. Compared with professionalism, our "Once Upon a Time" may not be able to compare."

"However, today's voting rights are in the hands of the audience. There are not so many reasons for the audience to judge the quality of a song. In fact, there is only one principle. Can you understand it? Whether it sounds good or not, do you like it or not!"
