Chapter 125 This song is the backbone of the nation (1/3 ask for a monthly ticket)
"Hiss...hiss..."
On Friday morning, Yang Qian finally took out the new song. Holding the lyrics printed on A4 paper and looking down from top to bottom, Jian Jinchuan couldn't help grinning and gasped several times.
"The lyrics you wrote are true..."
Jian Jinchuan feels that the word "good" is a bit weak to describe it.
But using too literary and artistic words to describe it cannot express my inner excitement and surging at this time.
In the end, he could only couldn't help but slap the table:
“TN is really good!”
It's a little vulgar, but it's fun enough!
Of course, although Jian Jinchuan couldn't put it down and read the lyrics again and again, with endless aftertaste, when he looked at Yang Qian, the appreciation in his eyes was even more direct and intense, and he couldn't hide it at all!
"I have thought that you are very good at writing songs before, but today the teacher wants to really say this. Xiao Yang, your song writing ability is definitely one of the best among the younger generation. Even in the teacher's mind, you are
First!"
Jian Jinchuan spoke of the word teacher affectionately. Obviously, at this time, he cherished Yang Qian's honorific title to him more than ever.
"No, no, Teacher Jian, you are exaggerating. I am not as good as you say."
Yang Qian was not in a presumptuous mood. He clearly knew his true level and deserved it.
"It's no exaggeration, Xiao Yang, just by looking at the lyrics of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", I think you can deserve such an honor. Teacher, my blood boils with excitement after reading it. Is the music score ready? Can you sing it?"
Jian Jinchuan waved his hand. He stopped being polite to Yang Qian. This song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down", he was eager to hear its full aspects as soon as possible.
"The score is ready, but I haven't had time to make the accompaniment yet, and I feel that if I play this song on guitar, it won't be powerful enough and the momentum will be too weak. So, I'll sing it a cappella for you now..."
Yang Qian stood up while explaining.
Why stand up?
Because this song cannot be sung while sitting, you have to stand, hold your head high and stand tall on the ground!
In the two days after getting the song, Yang Qian basically spent all his time practicing except uploading the song's lyrics and music to the copyright platform for registration.
You know, just like Jian Jinchuan's praise, Yang Qian also loves this song.
It can even be said that this song is his favorite song since he got the system!
Its music, its lyrics, the expectations and confidence it expresses for national rejuvenation and national rise, and the majestic momentum and national backbone it displays!
Yang Qian has no reason not to work hard to sing it well!
Yang Qian has already given up playing guitar and singing because this song is not suitable for playing and singing while holding a guitar!
Even if he can't play the piano, he must stand up, like the Great Wall that cannot fall, and sing out all the spirit of this song!
"Sleeping for hundreds of years..."
When Yang Qian speaks in Cantonese with a clear accent and a clear accent.
Jian Jinchuan was shocked again.
"Wait a minute, your song is in Cantonese?"
Jian Jinchuan couldn't help but interrupt Yang Qian.
"Yes, it's in Cantonese. Teacher, look at the typical Cantonese expression 'Which one wishes to admit himself'?"
Yang Qian nodded and briefly gave an example to Jian Jinchuan.
This is obviously not the grammar of normal Mandarin.
Cantonese likes to invert, like "you shixian" (you eat first), which many people like to talk about, and "怐你不得" (can't find you) are inversions of sentences.
There are also inversions of words, such as "xiao xia" (late night snack), "it doesn't matter" (it doesn't matter), etc.
Many of these are used in Cantonese songs.
This is also the reason why Cantonese lyrics can rarely be sung with Mandarin pronunciation, and if you want to sing them, you have to re-write the lyrics.
Even if the musical inaccuracies can be ignored, simply reciting the Cantonese lyrics in Mandarin will sound particularly awkward because of these inverted sentence patterns.
Of course, inversion is not used much in this song, but there are many wording habits that are unique to Cantonese.
Jian Jinchuan is also from Guangdong Province, and he is also well versed in this. It's just that just reading the lyrics made his blood boil. How could he remember to pay attention to these details?
Now, under Yang Qian's reminder, Jian Jinchuan brought the lyrics printed on A4 paper to his eyes again, looked at them carefully, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Go on, you keep singing."
After hearing the first line, Jian Jinchuan knew that Yang Qian's music lived up to such good lyrics. Now he felt ashamed and motioned for Yang Qian to continue. He regretted that he had interrupted his singing just now. He didn't know if it affected his mood.
brewing.
"After sleeping for hundreds of years, the Chinese people are gradually waking up..."
Yang Qian was not affected. He still sang with deep affection in his eyes and sang loudly.
What else is used to stir up emotions?
This song, even though it was originally sung by Huo Yuanjia, was about people who came to their senses at that time and knew that they wanted to drive out the Tartars and revitalize China.
But isn’t it also very appropriate to use it now, in today’s turbulent period surrounded by wolves?
"Open your eyes,
Watch carefully,
Who would want me to admit myself..."
Regardless of the fact that there are some young people who worship foreigners who pop up from time to time to act as clowns, and regardless of the fact that there are still some trash somewhere waving foreign flags, we, the younger generation of Chinese, still have patriotic blood in our hearts.
, know not to forget the national humiliation, and we will strengthen ourselves!
…
When he got this song, Yang Qian was eager to sing it himself.
This desire is countless times stronger than the desire during "Keep the Roots".
Of course, Yang Qian is also a little worried that he will not be able to control such a majestic song like "Keep the Roots".
But fortunately, this song is not like many military songs and many patriotic songs that require the use of high notes to sing.
What it needs is not shouting at the top of your lungs, but righteousness and unwavering faith!
Especially since it was still in Cantonese, Yang Qian found that when he sang in Cantonese, his voice became calmer and mellow, not as clean and youthful as when he sang Mandarin songs.
Maybe this is also related to the particularity of Cantonese pronunciation!
But Yang Qian would not dwell too much on these issues. He practiced for two days, practicing Xu Xiaoming's version of articulating and breathing patterns.
This is not easy. You must know that Xu Xiaoming can sing with such uprightness and momentum because he has learned martial arts since he was a child. Even before he became a director, he was a martial arts instructor. His first work was with Uncle Long.
.
Yang Qian couldn't imitate others' posture of singing while practicing kung fu, but in terms of breath control, he could imitate it with the experience given to him by the system.
In fact, it is also a word, stable!
And it’s not just the kind of stability that’s even and stable, it should be the kind of stability that doesn’t change even if the mountain collapses in front of you!
…
Yang Qian practiced for two days, but he didn't dare to sing well, but his pronunciation and breath control obviously made Jian Jinchuan, a director who knows music very well, listen happily.
Coupled with the lyrics, Jian Jinchuan couldn't help but fold his hands together, but it was only after Yang Qian finished singing that he was willing to praise loudly and applaud vigorously.
"good!"
The same cry came from outside the door.
Jian Jinchuan walked over and opened the door. Only then did Yang Qian see his colleagues in the documentary editing department who were still desperately covering Shan Junyang's mouth.
Obviously, it was Shan Junyang who couldn't help shouting.
Others must have heard his singing and gathered around him.
This is normal, after all, Jian Jinchuan's office is actually just a small cubicle in a large office, not an independent director's office.
Yang Qian sang sonorously and powerfully again without holding back his voice at all. Of course they would hear him.
"Director, I'm sorry, Xiao Yang sang this song so beautifully, we just wanted to listen to it."
The only girl, Mi Jingjing, was pushed out by everyone and carefully apologized.
"It sounds good, right? It sounds good! You see Xiao Yang is patriotic and has written such a meaningful song, but you are still fooling around here. Young people must shoulder the responsibility of rejuvenating the country, and they must go in this direction when making documentaries.
Work hard! Why don’t you hurry up and get to work!”
Jian Jinchuan deliberately taught him a lesson.
He also secretly used sentences from other people’s lyrics.
In fact, Mi Jingjing can't understand Cantonese very well, and neither can Liu Yanbing. Mo Keping and Shan Junyang are better off because they are from Guangdong Province.
But this does not prevent them from appreciating Yang Qian’s song!
Mi Jingjing vaguely understood some of the lyrics, which was enough to feel that her thoughts were surging, her feelings were mixed, and some emotions were stuck in her throat, and she seemed to want to shout them out.
I'm just sorry...
Jian Jinchuan's words brought them back to reality, calmed down a little, and quickly slipped back to their respective positions.
Of course, before leaving, the four of them couldn't help but glance at Yang Qian with admiration and praise.
Jian Jinchuan closed the door, his eyes similar to theirs.
This song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" gave him too many surprises. The lyrics were so good and the excellent composition also convinced Jian Jinchuan of this "student".
"Teacher Jian, actually I still need to learn more from you, because I can sing this song, but there is one thing I don't think is good enough."
Yang Qian waited until he finished praising him before he started talking.
This guy, except when he was singing, was a little excited and excited, but now he has calmed down again.
"What's not good enough?"
Jian Jinchuan listened to Yang Qian sing it once. He didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with other people's versions like Yang Qian did.
Without comparison, there is no gap. To Jian Jinchuan's ears, Yang Qian's singing was already good enough!
"I have paid great attention to practicing my pronunciation and pronunciation, and I have also practiced breath control, but I feel that the momentum is not enough. I don't know if it is because I have never been a soldier or practiced martial arts. This song should have a positive atmosphere.
Awe-inspiring, my singing feels rather weak..."
Yang Qian actually wanted to ask Jian Jinchuan if he could express such shocking power through more rigorous vocal resonance.
"You can't use too many techniques in this song. Using too many techniques would be bad. Have you ever heard that a heavy sword has no edge, and a great skill has no workmanship?"
Jian Jinchuan shook his head, not agreeing with his idea of using skills to make up for it.
"Then, Teacher Jane, what should I do?"
It’s not that Yang Qian doesn’t know that the best singing should be to simplify the complex, but just to simplify the complex, there is still no way to solve his core problem at this stage.
"You yourself said just now that you have never been a soldier, so you are not masculine and upright enough. Then if you become a soldier, won't you have experience, feelings, and the righteousness you want?"
Jian Jinchuan smiled and put down the lyrics he couldn't put down, and looked at Yang Qian.
He seemed to be asking, are you willing to accept such a challenge?
