Lin Yuan certainly understood the shock the sound engineer felt.
If Lin Yuan put himself in the shoes of the Blue Star people, he would also be shocked.
Just like the shock he felt when he first heard this poem in his previous life, as well as his admiration and love for the author of the poem, when he saw the first sentence of the poem, he already felt the breath of a masterpiece:
When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky...
If he was not a top master with perfect attainments in writing lyrics, how could he have written a lyric like "Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear"
Yes!
The song that Lin Yuan prepared this time was the famous "Song of Water Melody"!
Lyricist…
Dongpo Jushi, Su Shi!!
If Tang Bohu became a well-known talent through film and television works and a certain degree of beautification by people, then Su Shi, as the representative of the highest achievements of Song Dynasty literature on earth, is truly proficient in poetry, songs and paintings, and does not even need anyone to over-beautify him!
Especially his "Song of Water Melody" is extremely popular and has become a timeless classic that has been passed down for countless years!
Including this work, many of Su Shi's works will be passed down through the world forever and admired and worshipped by generations!
Unfortunately, such a god-level boss does not exist on Blue Star.
But now, Lin Yuan has brought this classic Song Dynasty poem to life in the form of a song!
Faced with such a classic, it is no wonder that the recording engineer would sigh that this is the most perfect lyric he has ever seen in his life, no doubt about it!
certainly.
As a Song Dynasty poem, it is unknown what the real tune of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" looks like. The version Lin Yuan obtained is a work that was recomposed by later generations based on the original lyrics.
That is the song "Wishing You a Long Life" sung by Teresa Teng.
This song is included in Teresa Teng's poetry and song album "Light and Subtle Feelings" released in 1983.
This album is a classic work created when Teresa Teng's personal performing arts career was at its peak, and it is also the first record she personally participated in planning. Different from other albums, the twelve songs in this disc are all selected from famous Song Dynasty poems, which are literary masterpieces that have withstood the test of thousands of years of history. The combination of classical and modern pop music is sung by Teresa Teng with her innate feelings, which are elegant, solemn, gentle and affectionate, and quite in the style of Tang and Song dynasties.
In the years that followed, the vicissitudes of life failed to obscure Teresa Teng's beauty. Instead, her extraordinary charm became more and more apparent with the passage of time.
As the title song of this album, "Wishing You Good Luck" became extremely popular upon its release and was later covered by many singers. It is hailed as one of Teresa Teng's famous songs!
Among them, the Chinese singing queen Faye Wong also covered this song.
Because of Faye Wong's influence, many people don't even know that the original singer of this song is actually Teresa Teng, and they all think that the song was sung by Faye Wong.
In fact, it was originally sung by Teresa Teng. This is very important and should be said three times.
Faye Wong herself is also a fan of Teresa Teng.
Once, Faye Wong was singing at a concert commemorating Teresa Teng. When the music started, photos of Teresa Teng before her death were shown on the big screen. Faye, who had her back to the screen, suddenly turned around, holding the microphone in both hands and looking at Teresa Teng devoutly, with a humble attitude like a primary school student.
No one has ever seen Faye Wong like this.
Some people may ask, then why is Faye Wong's version more famous
There is no need to use Teresa Teng’s untimely death as an explanation here.
Many people must have heard SHE’s song, "Don’t Want to Grow Up".
But few people know that this song is based on the most popular theme of Mozart's Symphony No. 40 as the chorus and main melody.
However, Faye Wong's strength is there, and the version she sang is also excellent. In addition, the quality of the song is indeed excellent, so the system not only provides Teresa Teng's version, but other versions including Faye Wong's have also been customized by the system.
in addition…
There is actually a discussion in the outside world about this song. Some people think that the composition of this song is not worthy of the lyrics.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this.
How many composers can match Su Shi’s lyrics
You should know that "Water Melody" is considered by some people in the literary world to be the pinnacle of Song Dynasty poetry. The only one in the Song Dynasty who could compete with it in the poetry world was Xin Qiji? Perhaps Yi An Jushi should also be included here? It's just that the first two are more comparable because they both have the bold and unrestrained style.
Some people even directly shouted that "Water Melody Song" suppressed the contemporary and was the number one voice of Song Dynasty poetry.
So this is a composition topic that will get you killed.
First of all, the question "When will the bright moon appear" appears, and then composing music based on Song Dynasty poetry of this level is not a task that ordinary people can accomplish.
Being able to play a piece of music without losing its quality is already very rare.
As for singing alone, you need to be a singer of the level of Teresa Teng and Faye Wong. If you don’t have a gifted voice, don’t come.
This is also the reason why Lin Yuan chose Jiang Kui.
Lin Yuan can see the shadow of top singers like Teresa Teng and Faye Wong in Jiang Kui.
Although not exactly the same—
No one is exactly the same as anyone else.
But in terms of voice, timbre, skills and other aspects, Jiang Kui is the most suitable candidate Lin Yuan can think of.
Lin Yuan did not specify which version to arrange for Jiang Kui.
He plans to polish this version that belongs to himself and Jiang Kui based on Jiang Kui's own vocal style, combining the classical style of Teresa Teng and the ethereal characteristics of Faye Wong.
Songs should be tailored to the individual.
This is the song that Lin Yuan used the system for, but during the recording process, he tried his best to produce it according to the voice of the real singer.
Perhaps there will be some adjustments to the arrangement when the song is officially recorded.
There won't be any major changes to the melody. Even if Lin Yuan uses Yang Zhongming's character card, he doesn't know where to start changing it.
It is very difficult to restore Su Dongpo's "Water Melody" in its original form with music.
Even though outsiders commented that "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" was a work with more lyrics than music, Lin Yuan had no choice but to admit it.
This poem is truly stunning!
In a world without Su Shi, dropping a song like this would be even more explosive than a blockbuster bomb!
"Let's use the song title 'When Will the Bright Moon Rise'."
The song title used by Teresa Teng and Faye Wong is "Wishing We Could Live Together Forever".
Lin Yuan would also consider releasing this song during the Mid-Autumn Festival, after all, it is more appropriate for the occasion.
However, this is released during the Spring Festival, so "When Will the Bright Moon Rise" is more appropriate.
This is also the name used in the original word.
The recording engineer certainly has no objection to this.
When Lin Yuan started to produce the accompaniment of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", Jiang Kui also began to think about where her singing strengths were, and seriously went to find a relevant teacher to do some practice, and even turned down all the notices she had...
It's not a last-minute cramming exercise.
The pressure in December was simply too great, and she had to do something to make herself more confident.
This December is destined to touch the nerves of the entire music industry!
