On the other side of the temporary dormitory, Wei Chengan lowered his head and packed his things.
Liu Yanzhou turned on the TV and clicked on the Lychee Station.
Zhang Die was packing his clothes: "You still want to watch TV now?"
Liu Yanzhou: "Look, we will soon leave the center of civilization and go to a desert."
Zhang Die: "Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth. If you still say that in Banana Country, you will be scolded to death in minutes."
Several people packed their things silently.
Yang Cong on TV: "Today, Hope and Searchlight have temporarily withdrawn from the competition, so we will welcome two replacement singers and a big devil!"
"The first veteran player to appear is...the Rubik's Cube!"
The Rubik's Cube took the stage step by step, and on stage with him was a male singer wearing a pineapple hood.
Yang Cong and the others asked with a smile, if they were the first to appear on behalf of the veteran players, would it be embarrassing if they lost?
You will never lose if you respond domineeringly with the Rubik's Cube.
And Pineapple Head is not an easy person, so he smiled and said he would definitely win.
When the first group of PK was underway, the Rubik's Cube began to sing, and many viewers in front of the TV were shocked.
In the previous few issues, Rubik's Cube performed like a second-tier singer. The strongest moment was when he met Searchlight, where he showed a rock and roll as pure as flowing water. That episode was the most eye-catching.
But failed miserably.
But this time, the high pitch of the Rubik's Cube reached an alarming level.
The powerful sound pressure, the strong texture of the sound, and the thickness made the audience dumbfounded.
Anyway, I was hooked after listening to the song.
Even Yang Cong, Lu Jin and others couldn't help but stand up and applaud. Zhou Quanou even said bluntly: "It seems that after the initial discomfort, the Rubik's Cube has now adapted to how to unleash its true strength while hiding its identity."
"This kind of singing skills and singing methods always feel familiar to me, but among my acquaintances who are good at high notes, there seems to be no such timbre... I still have to think about who it is."
Rubik's Cube has never wanted to be eliminated and dared to explode like this. That means he has mastered the method of hiding his own voice. With his strong skills, he quickly mastered the method. Now when he sings, the effect is no different from when a first-line singer shows up to sing.
This kind of power exceeded Pineapple Head's expectations.
And Pineapple Head sang a deep bass song.
The bass is very impressive.
However, it is not suitable for competition.
Professionals all know how awesome this is, and audiences who like bass are hooked. However, for most audiences, the pineapple head is far inferior to the Rubik's Cube.
This time, the Rubik's Cube created a new world and finally won!
The devil almost cried, it was not easy, but he finally won.
The identity of Pineapple Head is another question.
Yang Cong: "I'm sorry, I really wanted to keep you on the stage, but you didn't hide yourself. I heard who you are."
The audience was very confused.
Doesn't this hide itself?
Why didn't I hear it?
Yang Cong: "I remember the year before last, I happened to see a child who won third place in the youth singing competition and was accepted as a disciple by teacher Yu Peiling of the national team."
"I remember this voice at that time. After such a long time, your control of bass songs has become more and more mature, and you have changed a lot of bad habits."
"In terms of singing skills alone, if you make your debut in the entertainment industry now, I am very optimistic about your future."
Lu Jin: "Brother Cong, do you know me?"
Yang Cong nodded: "You are Qu He."
The audience didn't know who it was, so they could only vote according to what Yang Cong said.
More than 600 people voted to confirm that he was Qu He.
Pineapple Head held a cotton hooded mask on the stage and showed his handsome face: "Oh, I was recognized."
Yang Cong smiled: "Xiaohe, you should be working in the art troupe now, right? This time?"
Qu He: "The program team found my teacher and asked her to participate in the show. However, the teacher was preparing to perform abroad, so she recommended me to come. Unexpectedly, I lost the first show."
Rubik's Cube stepped forward and gave Qu He a hug: "You are very good, but the bass is worse than the treble, so you are not suitable for the competition."
Qu He was not originally from this circle, so he accepted the defeat calmly and waved goodbye.
Then I was invited to join the guessing team.
The second one to appear is the Red Duck.
This time, I finally didn’t meet the big devil.
The opponent came on stage. She was a short female singer wearing a long skirt whose figure could not be seen clearly. She wore a veil and her name was "Veil".
Liu Yanzhou: "It's time for the red duck."
"How can you say that at such a young age, you can beat the top singers and the potential kings?"
After packing his clothes and starting to get his shoes, Zhang Die looked up at the old-fashioned TV in the dormitory: "I'm so strong and can do everything. How can we compare?"
Wei Chengan: "We are younger."
Being younger means infinite possibilities.
But sometimes, the success rate is not high.
Han Zhou stood on the stage and swayed.
Veil: "Hello, Mr. Roast Duck."
Han Zhou smiled awkwardly: "Hello, little sister steamer."
Yang Cong: "What if someone is older than you later, call them little sister?"
Han Zhou: "I believe she would like to be called little sister."
Veil: "I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm not a student. It's inappropriate to call me little sister. It seems like I'm pretending to be young."
Han Zhou understood: "Oh, then call me Miss Sister."
"Steamer lady."
Veil made a bow by holding her skirt: "Thank you, but it's not Miss Steamer, it's Miss Veil!"
Lu Jin: "It sounds familiar, the way you talk sounds familiar!"
Lu Jin was so excited. After so long, he finally seemed to have a chance to guess someone correctly!
veil:"……"
"We haven't met before."
Lu Jin said angrily: "Huh?"
"Really……"
Hope broken.
Zimo smiled: "Which one of you will sing first?"
Han Zhou: "Ladies first?"
Veil: "Let me go first. I'm afraid I won't dare to sing after the roast duck."
After deciding who would sing first, Han Zhou walked to the side stage.
The question also appeared on the screen behind the big stage.
【Poems of Modern Characters】
"You can choose to write it yourself, or use five-note music to adapt an existing song, or use a song to change the lyrics into ancient poetry, and use a song to express your love for a modern Chinese figure."
This topic is almost the exact opposite of Han Zhou’s topic [Rock of Historical Figures].
Many modern celebrities are remembered and wrote songs.
However, it is really difficult to sing a modern character using ancient poetry or ancient music.
Veil stood on the stage, and the song information appeared on the big screen.
"Sheng Dan Jing Chou"
——In memory of Mr. Mei Luochun.
There is also Peking Opera in this world, and there is also a master named Mei, named Mei Luochun.
Obviously, this person is considered a modern figure, and this song should have been written and sung by him.
As soon as the prelude came out, everyone probably knew that it was a serious ancient-style composition.
It is made strictly in accordance with the pentatonic scale, Gong-Shang-Jiao-Zheng-Yu.
The so-called pentatonic scale refers to the five tones of "do, re, mi,".
The name of the tune with Gong as the main sound and the knot sound as the tone (style) is called Gong Tiao.
When writing music in the pentatonic scale, you must start with the palace tune, and after five sections, move to the feather tune.
It also means that it is calm and atmospheric at first, but low-pitched.
Until the end, high and high.
The tonality should be in the fifth section, and the five tonality should be improved.
It's almost impossible to succeed when writing songs and writing lyrics.
Everyone listens.
From the beginning, Veil's voice was relatively stable and her singing sounded very ancient.
But the ancient rhyme means the rhythm is slower.
Tune it one tone after another, all the way to the high pitch.
The audience was a little stunned.
If you want to play it like this, it will be too difficult to say it nicely.
The first part sounds good, the last part has a good high-pitched sound, but the middle part... is a bit inconsistent.
Because playing with five notes must be divided into sections, but when divided into sections, the subject and the melody must be changed, while the rhythm must remain consistent.
This song can be said to be very artistic, but... it doesn't sound good.
Yang Cong still applauded in support: "Actually, many people in China are trying to write ancient songs, but they haven't found a practical way yet."
"Someone suggested that some parts of the song should be old and some should be new, so as to change some things in the song to achieve the purpose of a new national style."
"Some people also say that we only need to change the format of music writing, and still use the things that have been passed down to write orthodox Chinese style."
"But this aspect is very difficult. This time Veil has made such an attempt, which deserves encouragement."
Lu Jin also nodded: "Indeed, the melody is very good, but it is difficult to write the lyrics according to the five tones, because the form does not match modern songs."
After all, one is a song that may last ten or twenty minutes, and the other is a song that can only last three or four minutes. It would be nonsense if these forced combinations can completely satisfy the five tones one by one.
It's basically impossible to do.
But if the performance of the music is simply reduced, then why write the five notes?
But the sound of the veil has an ancient charm.
Yang Cong: "I think the veil is very powerful, very similar to a female singer who is good at Chinese-style songs, but... I'm sure it's not, so I'm a little confused."
Lu Jin: "Watch the Red Duck's performance first, and then take your time and guess."
Han Zhou came on stage from the side stage with a smile on his face: "Come on!"
Han Zhou and Veil high-fived each other before taking the stage.
Han Zhou's question was also displayed on the big screen:
【Rock of historical figures】
"You can choose to write it yourself, or use a well-known song to change to rock music, or a well-known rock song to change the lyrics, and use a song to express the attitude of a Chinese historical figure."
On the stage, the red-skinned duck stood still.
Everyone is waiting.
Lights and heartbeats begin marking the start of the show.
Song information also appears on the screen.
"Blue Lotus"
——Huai Xuanzang
Singer:Red Duck
Lyrics, music and arrangement:Red Duck
Write a rock song for Master Xuanzang? Everyone is still confused.
Han Zhou spoke directly:
"Nothing can stop
your yearning for freedom
A fantastic career
Your heart is free from worries~"
It started singing a cappella as soon as it started, and it wasn't until the words were blocked that the drums started to sound loudly at the same time.
Be the first to win.
Zhang Die, who was collecting water cups, raised his head in shock.
Rock?
Is this rock? Is it such pure rock?
Liu Yanzhou: "As expected of a red-skinned duck. After only listening to four sentences, the veil has already been lost."
The red-skinned duck stood still on the stage, looking very quiet, strumming the strings of the guitar in his hand, and occasionally looking down at the strings. Because wearing a hood didn't look good, he tilted his head and looked through the slit in the hood to see if he was playing in harmony.
:
"Through the dark years
I also felt hesitant
The moment you lower your head
Only then did I realize the path under my feet..."
If you look at the lyrics alone, it's hard to imagine that such watery rock music was written for Xuanzang.
But if you first know that this is written for Xuanzang, and then read the lyrics, you will have a different feeling.
Not only that, but I also felt hesitant.
It's simply torture.
For more than ten years, I traveled west to search for ancient scriptures from the birthplace of Buddha.
Along the way, there were countless crises that could have driven Xuanzang to death in the desert.
However, Xuanzang took step by step and never looked back.
How many times has he regretted it? Or wanted to give up?
The music is like water, the lyrics are like water, and it is understated, but it is even more difficult and valuable.
After knowing that this song was written for Xuanzang, I felt even more excited.
Who has not experienced hardships? Who has not encountered hardships? Think about Xuanzang, who has been moving forward for more than ten years. Are the little difficulties and tortures he encountered really still torture?
The red-skinned duck on the stage whispered:
"The free world in my heart
So clear and far away
Blooming and never fading
Blue lotus~"
After Blooming and Never Fading came out, everyone was waiting, waiting for a result.
Just like Xuanzang returned after more than ten years had passed and obtained the scriptures.
Red Duck's refreshing "Blue Lotus~" was like an aria, making all the listeners' souls tremble.
Even across the TV screen, many viewers were dumbfounded.
You can tell it's rock and roll.
Rock music that nourishes all things like water. Have you never heard this kind of song before?
Moreover, this sounds too good, right?
Han Zhou on the stage was playing the guitar. Of course, that was just a supplement.
The real interlude is in the background music of the broadcast.
During the playing of da da da da, many people were waiting for an explosion.
Explode? If you think too much, will rock music explode?
"Through the Dark Years
I also felt hesitant
The moment you lower your head
Only then did I realize the path under my feet~"
Repeat, repeat.
Xuanzang is repeating.
You are repeating.
I'm repeating it too.
Repeated every day.
Day after day, day after day, forever repeating.
But at this time, many people's images of Xuanzang being tortured while walking on the road disappeared.
In fact, Xuanzang was not tortured at all.
Indeed, his body was walking among the lonely smoke of thousands of miles of yellow sand and desert.
However, his eyes were always looking at the blue lotus in the distant country of Tianzhu.
What he pursues in his heart is a lotus in front of the Buddha.
With every step he takes, he gets closer to the blue lotus in his heart and closer to his other shore.
How could he feel pain? If he felt pain, he would have gone home long ago. He was happy with it!
"Through the Dark Years
I also felt hesitant
The moment you lower your head
Only then did I realize the path under my feet~"
Again, this time, many people have realized that there is nothing explosive about this song.
Actually, this song can be everything.
Because this song is comfortable.
But there's no doubt about it, it's rock 'n' roll.
Some people say that rock is a music style, but they do not understand rock at all, because rock pursues power and tells reality.
"Blue Lotus" won't turn into a light rock just because you sing quietly, nor will it turn into a heavy rock just because you roar, nor will it stop being rock just because a pop singer sings it.
Under the calm singing of Blue Lotus, a sense of power is conveyed to those who need it.
People who don't need it will only hear good music, but if they don't hear power, they won't hear rock music.
People who need strength will burst into tears when they hear it.
Just like this, Zhang Die burst into tears.
On the TV, the red-skinned duck opened his hands and raised his head on the stage:
"The free world in my heart
So clear and far away
Blooming and never withering
Blue lotus~"
When the last line was sung, many people were confused, some were excited, and some sighed.
In the judging panel, Zhou Quanou burst into tears and raised his head, not wanting to let the tears fall.
In front of the TV, Zhang Die overturned the box, raised his head and shouted: "Lan! Lotus~Hua~ah!!!!!!!"
Everyone in the whole building heard it.
In fact, the blue lotus itself is a metaphor.
The lotus is the supreme plant in Buddhism and represents the Buddha himself.
Many people think that Xuanzang went to find the Buddha to pay homage to the Buddha.
In fact, Xuanzang did not pay homage to the Buddha at all. Xuanzang was not looking for the Buddha.
Because Xuanzang was looking for wisdom.
If it was just to worship the Buddha, after all the hard work to find the blue lotus, Xuanzang could stay in front of the lotus, with the green lantern ancient Buddha always accompanying him and the wooden fish scriptures throughout his life.
No, Xuanzang sought wisdom in order to spread it.
Xuanzang looked for the blue lotus not to find the blue lotus for himself, but to bring the blue lotus to those who had never seen the blue lotus.
Whether the Buddha is a Buddha or not, whether the Buddhist scriptures are Buddhist scriptures, is no longer important to Xuanzang, because at that time, Xuanzang himself was the Buddha, and he himself was the Blue Lotus.
This is why so many people who really study Buddhism and history stubbornly believe that Xuanzang actually found nothing after arriving in Tianzhu. It was he who wrote down his insights along the way into Buddhist scriptures and brought them back.
It’s because if you can do things that only a Buddha can do, you can write sutras that only a Buddha can write.
I can sing the Blue Lotus because I am a Blue Lotus.
Only when you have wisdom will you seek wisdom.
The blue lotus is here. When you are hoarse, you have the power.
When you speak softly, it means you are plain and natural.
If you are calm and distant, that is because you have Zen in your heart.
Those who feel the most deeply know what they have.
People with a simple understanding will also be moved by Xuanzang's long journey of 18,000 miles, and fantasize about the scenery along the way, and look forward to one day putting on a backpack and embarking on the journey.
Who is the big devil in the fourth issue? No one cares anymore.
Win or lose?
No one cares whether you win or lose.
In the super talk, some people praised it, but some people still haven't turned around.
On the barrage, someone said: "I resigned. Just now, early tomorrow morning, I will pack my bag and set off."
Someone responded: "Tomorrow morning? I'm already on the train going west."
Someone else responded: "Train? I drove off in my car."
Someone responded: "Car? I rode a motorcycle. By the way, I approved all the people who resigned from me. I want to leave myself. It's not appropriate to keep them."
Someone said: "Aren't bicycles bad?"
"What difference does it make? It's just that I can't walk yet."
"After listening to "The Ordinary Road" last time, I wanted to leave. This time I heard "Blue Lotus" again. Sorry, I have to look for Blue Lotus for myself."
"I... suspect that the red-skinned duck is a conspiracy of China Petroleum, a partner of China Petroleum, and a gold medal salesman of China Petroleum."
In the dormitory, Zhang Die overturned the box.
When he came back half an hour later, the program had finished broadcasting. Zhang Die had not seen the third set of PK at all.
This time, Zhang Die packed a bunch of books into the box.
A bunch of music, hip-hop basics, and books that I had learned at Tianle but had not read carefully.
This time when he went to Banana Country, Zhang Die knew that others would see him as making a fool of himself.
But I can't make a fool of myself. I will come back just like Xuanzang.
Xuanzang's blue lotus is wisdom.
My blue lotus is sincere.
What kind of program is not a program, it actually doesn’t matter at this moment.
Weibo's hot search #blueLotus# ranked first.
When a person writes a topic composition and writes a song that directly ranks first in the hot search, there is actually no suspense about the outcome of the program. Even if it loses, the program may be scolded for several years.
And outside the program, there is a super talk about "The Voice of Dark Gold".
I don’t know how many people who usually only watch TV, don’t play much online, and haven’t logged into Weibo in a year or two, are frantically begging the program team to quickly come up with the original music and publish it to music software.
The next morning.
#TheWorldisSoBigIwant to See# has topped the list of hot searches on Weibo.
An ordinary young girl wrote in her resignation letter: "The world is so big and I want to see it. I hope I can find the Blue Lotus."
This is the first time in the past two years that an ordinary person with a non-social news protagonist has topped the trending search list.
From this day on, "The Ordinary Road" and "Blue Lotus" are called two parts of resignation.
No one thought that the third part was already coming.
Because the topic that the red-skinned duck drew was, "Regrets of Youth Without Regrets".
