Chapter 348: Poetry-like subtle and euphemistic flowers in water (1/3 Monthly Ticket)
"In the cold dream,
I can't get together with you,
Maybe the tears in my heart,
Unable to erase..."
If the Cantonese at the beginning caught everyone off guard, then after getting used to it, Yang Qian's somewhat retro Cantonese singing is still very comfortable to listen to.
As long as they have not been exposed to Cantonese songs or Cantonese movies and TV shows, they will not find the Cantonese of this song difficult to understand.
Because of the smooth Cantonese singing style, the soothing rhythm of the eloquent voice, and Yang Qian's appropriate emotional expression, it is still easy for the audience to hear it clearly, or at least know the general idea.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it at all. The melodious and elegant melody of this song and Yang Qian's poetic Cantonese singing can also make you feel the hazy beauty of "Flowers in the Water"!
"Fate lets me hold it in pieces,
Loving each other is too hard and tiring,
Don't want to fall into this fire,
I hope to forget the sweet dreams..."
It’s still the main song, but the neatly contrasted lyrics make it very comfortable to listen to.
In particular, Cantonese has different rhymes and word patterns from Mandarin. Just like retro poetry, it has a unique charm of classical Chinese that lingers in Yang Qian's cadence of words.
"It sounds great!"
In the team seats, many students put aside the tension of the game and immersed themselves in the melody of this song.
"Do you think Teacher Yang's accents are so flavorful?"
"That's right! Every accent is sung in time, but it's like reciting. You can't feel that he is singing in time."
"The key is to write the lyrics well!"
There were also people discussing quietly.
"Let me face it
Even if I add my sin
A warm pile of hair..."
Liao Changbin couldn't help but clasp his hands and count them.
"What are you counting?"
Ning Manli saw it and thought he was calculating how many points she could score after this, so she couldn't help laughing.
"Counting the number of words in these paragraphs, each sentence is basically seven words!"
But Liao Changbin didn't seem to care too much about the gains and losses of this game. He seemed to stumble upon a good work and couldn't put it down to study it.
"Yes, this song sounds just like a poem!"
Ning Manli nodded in agreement.
Yes, this song is like a poem, with rigorous wording and a beautiful and neat format!
It is more like poetry, with a poetic and picturesque artistic conception, meaningful and thought-provoking emotions...
The songwriters of "Flowers in the Water" are all Jian Ning.
This name actually comes from a pen name. His real name is Liu Yuhua, and he is one of the most unique lyricists on the planet.
Because he was penned very early, his works are not particularly numerous, but such as "Lovesickness in the Storm" and "Falling Snow" (the one written by Priscilla Chan's "Looking at the Snow Falling Again") are both very popular and popular among everyone.
Favorite song!
Just as the pen name "Jian Ning" - simplicity and tranquility - expresses, his creative concept does not pursue gorgeous and complex words and overly deep and sad artistic conception.
Simple and calmly telling some feelings, this is his style!
The same is true for "Flowers in the Water".
"Like flowers reflected in water,
I can only look at it but not take it off,
Like the fragrance of hair floating in the wind,
The emptiness and indifference passed away..."
The emotions expressed in "Flowers in the Water" are actually similar to "It's better not to see you again" and "Long Time No See", both of which are love not found and regret of loss.
But because they are different lyricists, the way of expression is still different after all!
"Better Not See You" and "Long Time No See" are more direct, tearing open the scars bloody and revealing them to the audience, making people feel the heart-rending pain in the seemingly indifferent singing!
Jian Ning's "Flowers in the Water" is much more subtle. It is more like a person who has experienced this, occasionally recalling this regret in the middle of the night, secretly blaming himself and feeling sad.
But just like what the lyrics say, the protagonist thinks very clearly!
He knew that this past relationship was ultimately just a flower in the water, which could not be seen or touched. No matter how hard he couldn't let go, he had to pretend to be relieved rationally in the end!
Therefore, for Yang Qian, compared with "Better Not See You" and "Long Time No See", which are sharply worded and deadly, it is more difficult to sing "Flowers in the Water", which is sad and sorrowful, but also subtle and melodious.
Fortunately, Yang Qian never behaves impatiently on stage!
For such a song, in his somewhat delicate and poetic emotional expression, he was able to steadily perform above the standard!
Of course, emotional expression is important, but Yang Qian's singing skills are not bad either!
The processing of the ending sound of "flower" in "Like Flowers Reflected in Water" is textbook-level.
The sound that sounded a bit like a sigh made people suddenly feel the magic of "flowers in the water", and they could also feel the helplessness revealed in it.
And it is also connected with the next sentence "can only look (sounds like: empty)". You can even use ethereal to describe the feeling that such singing brings to the audience!
The same treatment can also be found in the words "pick off", "flower fragrance", and "empty".
Listen carefully, the combination of the artistic conception of the lyrics and the singing voice is wonderful!
Therefore, Yang Qian's song seems to be very ordinary, without any high-pitched bursts, but in fact it contains a lot of small details. This also makes many judges who like to pay attention to singing skills marvel, and their eyes are filled with admiration.
This is rare!
You know, the first two students, even Cao Weihong, who sang very well, were criticized very critically by them.
"Yet let me see you,
I don’t want to avoid it many times,
I am not afraid of ups and downs,
But please get drunk together..."
Yang Qian only sang it once, and many viewers were mesmerized!
The Erhu playing as a transition in the middle is also eye-catching.
"How can this be compared? There is no comparison!"
Dong Huanyu, who was sitting on Ning Manli's team seat, was about to kneel down to listen.
With such an "original" piece in hand, Dong Huanyu felt that the original song he planned to sing in this segment was not original at all!
Not to mention the quality of the songs, just talking about the arrangement, the songs I wrote are just like a draft!
Yang Qian's songs are all exquisitely arranged, and every orchestration is just right and never redundant.
This erhu makes people feel the strong ancient charm, and it matches very well with the poetic lyrics of this song.
"It's really incomparable. Qiao Donghai has probably lost even before he sings! Look at the judges' expressions."
Wei Xiaochuan pointed to the judges' seat.
"It feels like they are not here to score, they are just here to attend the concert..."
Isn't it?
The more than fifty judges at the judges' bench were all so intoxicated that they even forgot to be reserved and shook their heads.
But Yang Qian's performance also impressed them.
Yang Qian on the stage doesn't feel like he's here to compete. He enjoys the stage. Although he doesn't move much, his posture of closing his eyes and gently twisting left and right on the stage to the melody also makes people feel
Make him feel calm and relaxed.
Who has the confidence to defeat an opponent like this who sings well and is not nervous at all?
"I hope I won't be ranked next to Teacher Yang in the future. Even if I lose, I won't lose so crushingly!"
Dong Huanyu didn't even have a chance to come into contact with Yang Qian, so he clasped his hands together in lamentation and began to pray.
The same idea also appeared in other people's minds.
Even Jing Jiawei, the leader of their team, couldn't help but think so.
Whether it's better or not is another matter, but it would be better if we didn't run into him so early!
