Inside the club.
In the room.
The music carries a hint of melancholy.
There is a sense of heaviness mixed with melancholy.
The opera fathers in the room savored the prelude of "Blue and White Porcelain" carefully.
The verse, first sounded:
"The blank outlines the blue and white strokes, which become thick and light.
The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup
The sandalwood fragrance is coming through the window, I understand your thoughts
I put the brush halfway down the rice paper…”
As the first verse of the main song sounded, Lu Sheng, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly raised his head, and a ripple passed through his heart.
Pure and simple.
Elegant.
The gentle and delicate lyrics accompanied by the melody have a neoclassical style. Just these lyrics amazed him in an instant!
It's not just Lu Sheng.
The other people in the room also had different looks on their faces, obviously they were all amazed by the lyrics!
"The charm of the glaze rendering of the ladies' painting is privately kept
And your sweet smile is like a bud about to bloom
Your beauty is fading away
Going to places I can’t go…”
The lyrics were still intoxicatingly beautiful. As the song continued, the waves in Lu Sheng's heart finally began to rise and fall!
puff!
Just like a stone falling into the center of a lake, ripples spread out in all directions!
He subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture, causing the chair to rub against the ground, making a slightly harsh sound.
The friction sound was fleeting.
No one spoke at the scene, but the Qu fathers present raised their heads one after another, and there was an obvious change in their eyes!
In the crowd.
Yin Dong and Ye Zhiqiu looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other's eyes!
Just at this moment.
The singing voice suddenly raised its pitch!
Melancholy and desolation are like raindrops in the clear autumn, falling continuously, as if only singing is left between heaven and earth!
"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you
Smoke rises from the river thousands of miles away
The calligraphy on the bottom of the vase imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty
Just think of it as my foreshadowing of meeting you
The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you
The moonlight was salvaged and the ending was blurred
Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful in its own way
You have a smile in your eyes..."
Crackling, pearls big and small fall on the jade plate!
The soft melody still carries a hint of hesitation and desolation, as if a cool breeze suddenly blows in the continuous drizzle, penetrating into everyone's heart!
Cold!
But it’s scalding hot!
Everyone's expression changed, and a look of horror appeared on the faces of all the composers at the same time. In the room where there was only melody, a standard and unified look of astonishment formed!
So stupid!
All stupid!
The confidence on Lu Sheng’s face was no longer there!
His body tensed up almost instinctively, but his mouth was slightly open!
The instruments were plucked with abandon.
The traditional playing technique creates a slow and leisurely melody, which flows deeply and shallowly in the room with a feeling of separation and parting. The song carries an indescribable simplicity and heaviness, as if it were stained by history and time.
Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu!
The ultimate in simplicity!
The ultimate shock!
When the song ended, the whole room was silent!
The next moment.
The silence was broken.
The noisy voices merged into one, making the whole room boil!
“This is the culmination of the neo-classical style!”
"I thought no song could surpass 'Dong Feng Po'. Even Lu Sheng's song had to take a different approach, but this song did it!"
“The five scales are used to the fullest extent!”
"How is that possible!"
"The beauty of the scenery, the beauty of the metaphors, the beauty of the emotions, all these elements are combined in such a harmonious way. This song is even more impeccable than "Dong Feng Po"!"
"… "
Amidst the chaotic voices, all eyes were focused on Lin Yuan's expressionless face, but everyone's mood at the moment was completely different!
No one expected it!
Xianyu actually wrote a song that surpasses "Dong Feng Po"!
In a trance.
Someone else looked at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled bitterly and couldn't help but said to Lin Yuan: "Can you show me the lyrics?"
"good."
Lin Yuan took out the music score and handed it to the other party.
Suddenly.
All the music masters surrounded Lu Sheng and looked at the music score of "Blue and White Porcelain", and they were still whispering to each other while appreciating the music.
"really."
Looking at the lyrics, Lu Sheng looked at Lin Yuan with some bitterness: "Your skill in writing lyrics is really amazing."
The blue sky is waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you.
What kind of talent is needed to write lyrics like this
If the ancient Chinese style song "Wishing You a Long Life" is undoubtedly the pinnacle, then the song "Xian Yu" is the pinnacle of the vernacular style lyrics, and it is undisputed!
beside.
Ye Zhiqiu said with emotion: "In terms of composition and arrangement, the two songs are on par with each other, but the lyrics make the difference between the two songs."
"yes."
Zheng Jing next to him sighed: "But overall, this song "Blue and White Porcelain" is more powerful."
"If you take each standard of the song individually, the difference is very small."
Yang Zhongming spoke, and even his voice at this moment couldn't help but carry a hint of strangeness: "I can only say that Xianyu's song titled "Blue and White Porcelain" has reached the pinnacle of neo-classical music in terms of comprehensive scores."
Everyone nodded.
In terms of lyrics, composition, and even arrangement, "Blue and White Porcelain" scored extremely high in every aspect, but it is not much better than Lu Sheng's songs. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are on par with each other.
The same is true when comparing it to "Dong Feng Po".
However, taking all factors into consideration, "Blue and White Porcelain" is clearly better, especially the lyrics of this song, which seem to be tailor-made for neoclassical style songs!
The mood of the whole song comes half from the melody and the other half from the lyrics.
With the combination of the two, "Blue and White Porcelain" has completely reached a height that no one can match!
"I can do it too."
Yin Dong suddenly said this to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng rolled his eyes.
Everyone laughed.
yes.
This time, anyone can do it.
after all.
Whoever goes up will lose.
…
The Qu dads came quickly and left quickly.
When everyone left with endless emotion, only Yang Zhongming, Zheng Jing, Lin Yuan and Lu Sheng were left in the room.
"It was my fault."
Lu Sheng smiled calmly: "I really made a fool of myself today."
Lin Yuan shook his head seriously: "Blue and White Porcelain wins in terms of lyrics, and Mr. Lu Sheng's composition is not inferior. I am also convinced by your work."
Not being modest.
Lin Yuan was speaking from the heart.
In terms of composition alone, "Blue and White Porcelain" did not definitely win over Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng’s opponent is not himself, but the combination of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan!
If we just compare the composition, Lu Sheng's "Water Charm" can definitely compete with Jay Chou!
After all, "Blue and White Porcelain" only won Fang Wenshan.
You know, Fang Wenshan is one of the top lyricists on the planet, and the lyrics of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" are Fang Wenshan's masterpiece!
Just imagine this.
If "Blue and White Porcelain" did not have the perfect lyrics written by Fang Wenshan, would this song still stand out among Jay Chou's many similar songs and become the pinnacle of Chinese style in the minds of countless people
"Don't comfort me."
Lu Sheng smiled calmly: "Although I am a face-conscious person, I am not someone who cannot afford to lose. You can use this song in December. I will quit in November."
"That's not necessary."
Lin Yuan shook his head and said something shocking:
“In fact, this song ‘Blue and White Porcelain’ was originally planned to be released in November.”
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed in shock!
Yang Zhongming and Zheng Jing next to them also showed stunned expressions!
The three of them looked at each other.
Isn't this song Xianyu's trump card for the battle of the gods?!
The fact that these three people were shocked shows how shocking what Lin Yuan said was!
“Do you have any better songs for December?”
Lu Sheng's voice changed: "Don't act on impulse, I took the initiative to give in, you don't have to feel that you have taken advantage, after all, you have already defeated me!"
“There are still songs in December.”
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's not better, but it won't be too bad either."
Yang Zhongming had a strange expression on his face: "Are you serious?"
Zheng Jing couldn't help but said, "Don't mess around. If this song is released in December, even if Zhongzhou takes action, it will be difficult to match this song!"
"It shouldn't matter."
Lin Yuan also had some hesitation in his heart, but he finally decided to put "Blue and White Porcelain" in November, although considering the quality of the song, there would be no problem putting it in December.
Besides…
Why should I ask others to give in? Everyone has the freedom to choose the time to release a song. I am not right in this matter, but I will inevitably let down Uncle Yang and Aunt Zheng's kindness.
Thinking of this.
Lin Yuan said to Yang Zhongming and Zheng Jing: "Thank you, Uncle Yang, thank you, Aunt Zheng."
"Since you have made this decision, you must have your reasons. It seems that I have underestimated you."
Yang Zhongming waved his hand: "I didn't intend to do this, but it was your Aunt Zheng who insisted that I come forward, and I couldn't bear to see you use your trump card in November. Now that you have a trick up your sleeve, I don't have to feel guilty towards Lu Sheng."
"This is my fault. I should have discussed it with you in advance."
Zheng Jing smiled cheerfully, "I was afraid you would feel embarrassed, so I told you at the last minute. But you don't have to think that this is against the principles. The music industry has a tradition of greeting each other, and the music masters all have some tacit understanding in this regard. There's no need to make a big deal out of it. Think about it, didn't you give way to others before?"
“That’s true.”
Lu Sheng smiled and looked at Lin Yuan: "The year I won the twelfth consecutive championship, Brother Zhong Ming gave way to me once. If Brother Zhong Ming had made a move, I really wouldn't have won the twelfth consecutive championship that year. In this respect, you are better than me."
The three of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry at this result.
Everyone thinks Xianyu only has one trump card.
That trump card will be used in December!
However, who would have thought that Xianyu actually had a trump card in his hand!
Whether it is November or December, Xianyu is sure of success!
None of the three suspected that Lin Yuan was trying to show off.
The result will be known in December. There is no point in being stubborn at this time. What's more, this is related to the crucial 12th consecutive championship. No one will joke about such a thing!
"Let's have dinner together tonight."
Lu Sheng suddenly said, "My song will be released as usual. There is no need to find a special date. Anyway, you are not going to change the schedule."
"OK."
Lin Yuan agreed.
Lu Sheng's songs allowed Lin Yuan to see the strength of this world-class composer.
If the song he picked out was not "Blue and White Porcelain", and he only competed with Chinese-style songs, I'm afraid I really don't have any other songs in November that can definitely beat the opponent.
certainly.
What I am saying here is that apart from "Blue and White Porcelain", Lin Yuan doesn't have any song that can definitely beat the opponent, but he can still produce some songs that are evenly matched with the opponent.
that's all.
The four of them made an appointment for dinner.
During the meal.
Lin Yuan and Lu Sheng exchanged contact information and surprisingly got along very well.
"Actually, the War of the Gods is not that scary for you. I have experience in this matter as someone who has been through it."
"What experience?"
"My experience is that when a songwriter wins 11 seasons in a row, there will be many people supporting you in the 12th season regardless of the quality of your songs. This is called helping others achieve their goals."
"Those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters?"
"What you said is interesting. No wonder you can write a song like 'Blue and White Porcelain'. In short, the season ranking is not a pure competition of strength, and you can't ask everyone to be completely fair. If people just like a certain singer or a certain composer, what can you do? For example, if you are a newcomer, then even if your song is better than mine in November, I will still win in the end because I am the composer. These off-site factors are all things that affect the ranking of the season ranking, so you have leverage, and you will find that a group of people will help you. Of course, if your song is not good enough, off-site factors cannot play a decisive role."
"Um."
The two chatted a lot.
It was basically Lu Sheng who was talking and Lin Yuan who was listening.
Lu Sheng didn't mind Lin Yuan's taciturn personality.
Geniuses have different personalities.
In Lu Sheng's opinion, Lin Yuan's personality is very much to his liking.
Yang Zhongming next to him was busy eating, occasionally joining in the conversation.
Only Zheng Jing looked at Lin Yuan and Lu Sheng with a strange expression:
Who would have thought that these two would be rivals in a battle for the season standings in November
The dinner is over.
Lin Yuan took the bus home.
It was exactly half past ten in the evening.
There are less than two hours left before the season leaderboard is updated.
On the Internet.
The discussion about the competition between Lu Sheng and Xian Yu for the November season ranking has been going off the charts!
"There's still an hour and a half left!"
"I don't know who will win or lose between Yu Dad and Lu Shen!"
"I like both sides, and I can accept whoever wins or loses, but when comparing their achievements, I always feel that Yu Dad is a little bit on the edge."
"Hasn't there been an expert who analyzed it? It's 40% to 60% between the two."
"Some people say it's 30% to 70%."
"The one who said that Yu Dad is Xiao Lu Sheng is too much. Isn't this implying that Yu Dad will lose?"
Countless people are analyzing the battle between Xianyu and Lu Sheng for the November season rankings online.
The most widely accepted conclusion is “40% to 60%”.
Envy Fish four, Lu Sheng six.
However.
Just as this argument has taken root in people's minds and the time for the season leaderboard to be updated is approaching.
On the blog.
Lu Sheng, the top composer of Blue Star, the winner of the last twelve consecutive championships, and known as the youngest songwriter in history, suddenly released a special update:
I listened to teacher Xianyu's new song today. I was stunned after listening to it. I will lie down and admit defeat in November, but I will definitely not postpone it. I suggest everyone listen to my song first. This song should not disappoint everyone. But if you listen to Xianyu's song first and then listen to mine, you may be disappointed. So, is this considered a spoiler
A photo was attached below the post.
In the photo, Lu Sheng's cheeks were red, as if he had drunk a lot of wine. He and Xianyu stood side by side, and they both made a classic scissors hand gesture to the camera at the same time.
Duang!
Netizens from all continents were dumbfounded!
