Chapter 303
The lights dimmed.
The three words "Lanting Xu" on the stage screen were particularly conspicuous.
Not only Zhang Yuanzhou was surprised, but others also didn't understand why Lin Zhixing did this.
"Does Lin Zhixing have any grudges with Zhang Yuanzhou? Zhang Yuanzhou sang "Lanting Collection" in the last episode, and Lin Zhixing sang "Lanting Xu" in this episode?"
"I heard that there is a grudge between them, which started from the movie "Huo Yuanjia". It seems that it is quite fierce."
"It was only a week after the last recording. I guess the quality of this song should not be better than Zhang Yuanzhou's song?"
"Wuhu, the gunpowder smell is strong!"
The audience was full of expectations for Fengqi Wutong's performance when they learned that it was a grudge game, and the number of people in the live broadcast room continued to rise.
Amid the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge, dressed in Chinese style, walked to the center of the stage calmly and confidently.
[Ding! ]
[Singing skills (emotion) proficiency +1 point. ]
[Current: Emotion B (47/50). 】
Lin Zhixing, who collected the fragments of Zhang Yuanzhou's singing, blushed.
It's embarrassing to hit the cook after eating.
Judges' seat.
Zhang Amei saw the song information, her eyes widened a little, patted her thigh, turned her head and asked Li Zonghua beside her, "I remember someone sang a song called "Lanting Collection" last time, it seems to be the Zhang Yuanzhou just now, right?"
"Yes."
Li Zonghua nodded.
Zhang Yuanzhou's "Lanting Collection" last time left a deep impression on me, and I also gave it a high evaluation.
——I prefer to study music and lyrics, I think you have a talent in this area. Under this proposition, I think no one can beat your song.
Whether it's too early to say this on stage, it depends on their performance in a while.
Luo Desheng hugged his shoulders, looked at Lin Zhixing who was bowing his head in the middle of the stage, and said in his heart: "If you want to get a high score, do your best. I will use the most stringent standards to require you!"
...
The center of the gorgeous stage. Under the spotlight, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge looked at each other, and after seeing that they were ready, they nodded to the music teacher on the sidelines in tacit understanding.
As the play button was pressed, the prelude of "Lanting Xu" flowed out and slowly spread to every corner of the recording hall.
The tortuous sound of the erhu was very amazing. Before the person opened his mouth, it seemed that there was an inexplicable melancholy atmosphere overflowing, and even a feeling of waiting for a beautiful woman in reincarnation for several lifetimes.
The prelude alone made everyone's eyes light up.
"Don't ask me how old I am. I'm in a state of emotional fragmentation now."
"I think the prelude of Feng Qi Wutong's song is better, because I can't hear it later without membership."
"Lin Zhixing is really average. If you want to say who is good, it has to be Beethoven, known as the Western Lin Zhixing."
The camera gave the judges.
"This prelude is nice!"
The rock godfather Wu Boqiang looked at Lin Zhixing who nodded slightly to the music in the center of the stage, nodded with great appreciation, and sighed at his powerful composing ability.
The prelude of the last episode "Yellow Man" was invincible, but I didn't expect that the prelude of this episode "Lanting Preface" would still be amazing.
Li Zonghua, who had just closed his eyes to listen, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, lowered his head and anxiously flipped through the lyrics of "Lanting Preface" on the table.
Contestant seats.
"His prelude is amazing! The picture appears in my mind when I listen to it."
"The prelude of "Lanting Preface" has already won "Lanting Collection"!"
"It's normal that the composition is not as good as Lin Zhixing. He composed for two orchestras in "The Summer of the Orchestra" and no one can beat him. He can be called the father of contemporary music!"
Zhang Yuanzhou listened to the singers in the back row talking about it, his face turned red and white, angry and helpless, because what they said was right.
Objectively speaking, the prelude of his song is indeed not as good as Lin Zhixing's song. Let's look at the overall quality!
...
The prelude of the song filled the expectation. Under the expectation of the audience, Lin Zhixing slowly raised the microphone and spoke.
"Lanting calligraphy is like flowing clouds and running water"
"Under the moon, I push my heart as carefully as your footsteps"
"It is easy to copy the thousand-year-old stele"
"But it is difficult to copy your beauty"
"Who can give the true heart to?"
"His singing voice is like thick ink dipped in the fine brush strokes, singing out a wisp of ink fragrance and ancient words, flowing clouds and running water.
"As expected of the man who wrote "May We Live Long" and "Will Enter the Wine", the lyrics have a poetic flavor!"
At first listen, although the audience did not understand the meaning of the lyrics, they felt that they were not sharp.
Zhang Yuanzhou only listened to a few words of the lyrics, and his heart was immediately chilled.
Not only is the prelude of his "Lanting Collection" not as good as this "Lanting Preface", but the lyrics are like plain language in comparison.
…
“Shepherd’s flute plays, rice wine and a few dishes of side dishes”
“The afterglow of the sunset is like your shyness and drunkenness”
“The copy is easy to write, but the ink fragrance will not fade and leave the aftertaste with you”
“Who is surrounded by a line of cinnabar”
The camera is given to Song Ge, who is still stable when she sings next. The audience seems to be in the mist and rain. The sense of narration is fascinating.
“Ge Ge is so stable! Always let people put their hearts in their stomachs. They will definitely advance today!”
Ji Yu in the audience was very involved in watching, as if he had forgotten that he was here to participate in the competition, as if he was watching a live show.
Dong Chen glanced around and saw that the singers in the back row were staring at the stage with admiration and envy, and the corners of their mouths gradually rose to their ears.
“Awesome? This is my big brother and sister!”
…
In the center of the gorgeous stage.
When it came to the chorus of the song, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge held hands and sang affectionately to each other.
"It has nothing to do with Fengyue, I am waiting for your reply"
"With one stroke of pen, there are thousands of waves on the shore"
“No matter how I interpret the word love, I can’t write it right.”
"And I only lack the understanding of a lifetime"
The harmonious chorus of the two seemed to condense the two forces into a pen and a plate of ink, outlining the emotions in people's hearts stroke by stroke.
As soon as these four lyrics came out, the audience was deeply shocked.
Many viewers have never heard such a beautiful melody, as well as original words and phrases. The recording scene at this moment is like a magnificent city of art, cultivating the audience's souls in a world full of music.
"It has a very oriental artistic conception and a feeling of traditional Chinese culture. Without cultural heritage, I would never be able to write such lyrics! Lin Zhixing is really awesome!"
"This is the taste of Chinese style. Those who pile up a lot of rhetoric in the name of Chinese style and then add some plagiarized tunes to call it Chinese style are really shameless!"
"This is no longer a song, this is a work of art!"
Jury seat.
“This creative technique is wonderful, it’s really thoughtful!”
Li Zonghua listened to the music, bit his nails and looked at the lyrics on the A4 paper, and nodded in admiration.
He saw the mystery hidden in the song. The theme was not about love, but about the longing for love that cannot be achieved.
It also uses a lot of ancient elements and allusions to express longing for the sweetheart. The writing is beautiful, the charm is long, and it is truly excellent.
As soon as the chorus came out, there was no doubt which of the two songs performed better.
The level of "Lanting Preface" is far higher than that of "Lanting Collection", and it is simply not a heavyweight song.
After understanding the song, Li Zonghua smiled and shrugged.
It seems that as a judge, I have to leave room for future comments.
Player seats.
"Lost!"
After listening to the chorus part, Zhang Yuanzhou felt that there was no suspense at all. His songs were inferior to others in all aspects. He couldn't even find a single point that was better than "Lanting Preface", not even one.
He sighed deeply and lowered his head silently, while mentally calculating the current usage of the song.
Today's "Blue and White Porcelain" is my second best work.
At present, it may be as good as today's "Lanting Preface", and the hope of victory is relatively slim.
To Zhang Yuanzhou, Lin Zhixing was no longer just a cloud hanging in the sky, but an endless sky. No matter how hard he tried to fly, he could not escape from this sky.
After thinking for a while, he made a bold decision in his heart.
Since my second best work failed to beat him, I will challenge him with my strongest song "West Wind Break" in the next issue.
"If fate is determined by fate, I will break this fate!"
Zhang Yuanzhou vows to regain his face in the next issue and fly out of this world.
…
off screen.
Chinese teacher Xiao Fei was filled with admiration after listening to the song "Lanting Preface".
Through a few strokes of emotion, a story is created.
The lovesickness as deep as the sea and the endless melancholy give people a sense of fantasy and romance. He also uses rhetorical techniques such as duality and metaphor to create artistic conception, and uses spiritual words to integrate "love" into calligraphy. Love and calligraphy complement each other, which can be said to be an extraordinary artistic conception.
“It’s so good!”
Moved by the song, she typed a line in the comment area.
——Tomorrow I will talk about the preface to Wang Xizhi’s Orchid Pavilion, and I finally have the opportunity to play Fengqi Wutong’s song to the students!
…
Gorgeous center stage.
"It has nothing to do with Fengyue, I am waiting for your reply"
"Handwriting has no shame and no fear of right and wrong in the world"
"It rained on the banana leaves for a few more nights."
"I'm waiting for Chun Lei to remind you who you love."
Finally, with a beautiful and melodious chorus, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge made a perfect ending to the song, and the audience burst into applause.
"I announce that this song has been selected into Lin Zhixing's four masterpieces! "Preface to Orchid Pavilion" and "Daoxiang", you can add the remaining two songs!"
"The work is so excellent that there won't be another Lin Zhixing in the Chinese music scene in another hundred years!"
In the studio hall.
Director Jia Wen looked at the continuously rising live broadcast data and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
She didn't expect Fengqi Wutong to be so popular. In the last episode, a song increased the number of people online by 600,000 in the live broadcast room, and in this episode, the number of people online in the live broadcast room increased by 800,000.
"It's too exaggerated. Please stick to it until the end!"
…
When the music ended, the host Wang Bing walked back to the center of the stage with a squinted smile, "Okay, let's ask the five judges to rate Fengqi Wutong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense. The audience felt that with the performance of this song, it was inevitable to improve the ranking, depending on whether they could sit in the first row or the second row.
At this moment, Lin Zhixing was also a little nervous, wondering whether the judges' scores would meet his expectations.
"I like your song "Lanting Preface" very much!"
Zhang Amei raised the B rating sign without hesitation and said seriously: "This "Lanting Preface" is the best Chinese style work I have heard this year. Thank you very much for letting me hear such an excellent work. I hope you will Keep it up for the next issue!”
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge bowed to express their thanks, and the camera turned.
Wu Baqiang gave a thumbs up and praised: "Except for the boys stealing half a beat at the beginning of the second verse, the rest of the singing is almost flawless, and the songwriting is also excellent. Keep up the good work!"
After saying that, he also raised the B-rated scoreboard.
Li Zonghua also gave a B rating, "As a song with "Lanting Preface" as its title, the lyrics and music are so well written. I take back what I said in the last issue, you guys are so good!"
Zhang Yuanzhou's face burned when he heard Li Zonghua's comments, and he almost said that he was not as good as them.
Zhang Wuying also raised the B-rating scoreboard and said: "The teamwork as a group is perfect, and the song performance is also very good. Keep up the good work!"
Four B ratings mean that it is safe to advance to the second row.
The audience burst into applause, and fans waved cheering sticks, feeling happy for them.
The camera turned and showed Luo Sheng sitting in the C position.
Standing in the center of the stage, Lin Zhixing's eyes fell on him. In view of the previous unpleasantness, he was very curious about how he would rate himself.
"My opinion is different from everyone else's."
Luo Luo Sheng held up a sign with a C rating and explained his point of view: ""The Preface to the Lanting Collection" is not a work about love. You gave it a title, but the content is mainly about love. I don't think it is very suitable."
His comments aroused heated discussion among the audience.
Some people were sympathetic to his views, while others were opposed to his views, and the reviews were mixed.
Fang Wenshan once said that he regretted naming the song "Lanting Preface" and wanted to name the song "Indifferent to the Wind and Moon"...
Lin Zhixing felt that he had intentions against him, but he had no way to refute his point of view.
"Thank you Fengqi Wutong for your wonderful singing. Who will appear next? Please look at the big screen!"
Amidst bursts of applause, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge waved and left. They walked straight to the second row of the contestants' seats and sat next to Zhang Yuanzhou, who had also advanced.
【Ding! 】
[The special mission has been completed. Congratulations to the host for getting the song "If You Also Heard" and a song selection card! 】
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.
This song "If You Also Heard" is a song written by Jay Chou for Zhang Huimei. It is one of Zhang Huimei's most famous songs.
This song is a very high quality ballad.
When he mentioned the ballad, Lin Zhixing thought of the system confrontation mission, and his eyes fell on Cheng Huan, one of the new four kings in the back row.
In the future, I will definitely compete fiercely with him in the field of lyric songs.
"Lin Zhixing, you deliberately targeted me, right?"
"Um?"
Lin Zhixing turned his head in surprise and found Zhang Yuanzhou beside him, frowning and glaring at him.
"No……"
Lin Zhixing shook his head with evasive eyes.
"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not."
Zhang Yuanzhou shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a serious face: "There is something I want to tell you in advance."
"What?"
Zhang Yuanzhou said: "In the next competition, I will use my right to challenge you! I will use my best work, and I hope you can also use your excellent work, so as not to say that I suddenly attacked you and you were not prepared."
"Remember we are at the same level, whoever loses will be eliminated!"
