Chapter 936 Learning(1/2)
Since they met Fang Wens, although the two met for the first time, they were still unfamiliar with each other. However, Shi Zhenqiu had limited time and had no time to communicate with each other, so he directly entered the stage of asking for advice.
However, geniuses don’t need too much words, and they can naturally become confidants in the process of working together.
He only had more than ten days to adapt and practice, so the two of them quickly sat down and entered the communication stage.
As soon as he came up, Fang Wens had a curious question.
"How did you think of adapting fireworks to make it easy to get cold? This song is not easy to sing."
Fang Wens really couldn't understand. As a foreigner, it didn't matter if Shi Zhenqiu wanted to sing Chinese songs, but why did he choose such a difficult song "Fireworks are easy to cold"?
The difficulty of this song is not in singing skills, but in artistic conception.
Facing Fang Wens' question, Shi Zhenqiu smiled.
"If it's not difficult, how can you win in the show?"
Fang Wens then realized and couldn't help laughing.
As a musician, Fang Wens, like his Korean colleagues, is also constantly learning.
He saw the development of music in Korea next door and was also learning something worthwhile.
Once the program "I Am a Singer" was released, it caused a great response.
Fang Wens will watch it when he has something to do or not. At the same time, he can't help but sigh that when the industry he is in is still in place, his colleagues next door have actually reached this point.
Since Shi Zhenqiu joined the show, he has basically watched it all.
The song "Don't" by Shi Zhenqiu is his favorite work.
His cooperation with Jay Chou was originally intended to show pure Chinese culture and style. Therefore, Shi Zhenqiu's way of combining traditional culture and popularity is the most resonant.
However, he had never thought before that he would be able to cooperate with Shi Zhenqiu one day.
Not to mention Shi Zhen’s famous internationally, the singers he has worked with are all world-class people like Eminem and Bruno Mars. He is a Korean, so he can’t communicate with each other.
Unexpectedly, after meeting Shi Zhenqiu today, I realized that his Chinese was so good.
But even so, Fang Wens was still very worried.
What you say in Chinese does not mean that you have a good understanding of Chinese culture.
Especially the ancient allusions, let alone a foreigner, even ordinary Chinese may not know them.
So when he taught Shi Zhenqiu, he spoke very sincerely.
"There is a big difference between Chinese music and other world music, that is, the proportion of lyrics occupies a very large amount. It can almost be said that the quality of a song is even above the melody."
This was really something Shi Zhenqiu didn't know, which made him frown.
"As music, it shouldn't be more important to melody."
Almost all musicians around the world have a consensus that melody is the life of a musical work.
Because of the particularity of the melody, it can resonate with a person's heart rate and thus affect his emotions.
As long as the melody is good enough, the content of the lyrics is not important. Melody alone can make people sing and dance.
But at this time, Fang Wens said that in Chinese songs, the importance of lyrics lies in the melody, which completely exceeds the knowledge Shi Zhenqiu had learned in the past.
Fang Wens seemed to have known that he would have some questions for a long time, so he asked back: "How much do you know about Chinese culture? For example, the Book of Songs, Han Fu, Yuefu poetry, Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuanqu."
Shi Zhenqiu said sincerely: "Although I don't know a lot, I have heard of it a little. I also know a little about the more famous poems."
This answer has already made Fang Wens look at him with admiration.
It is no longer easy for a foreign star to achieve this.
Fang Wens said: "Then you know, in fact, what I said was sung in the time. Although it is unknown how it was sung because of its age. But this is true in history books."
This statement made Shi Zhenqiu a little confused and didn't know what Fang Wens meant.
Obviously, Fang Wens was not prepared to let him figure it out, so he said it out directly.
"But even though the singing style of those poems that originally needed to be sung has been lost, modern people can appreciate the beauty of them just by looking at the words. What does this mean?"
This time Shi Zhenqiu understood and quickly said, "It means that this is the power of words. Just relying on words can show the artistic conception of those poems, right?"
Shi Zhenqiu's quick reaction surprised Fang Wens and admired him even more.
No wonder this person can do so well. His exquisite heart alone has surpassed countless people.
At the same time, Fang Wens also recognized Shi Zhenqiu's answer.
"The difference between Chinese and other languages is that words alone can create a painting-like artistic conception. Writing good lyrics, even without melodies, is a literary work that is enough to appreciate. This is the difference between Chinese music, and you must understand first."
Shi Zhenqiu understood.
"In other words, if I want to express the song "Fishings" well, then I have to understand the background and connotation of this work and understand the story contained in each word, right?"
Fang Wens nodded, basically agreeing with Shi Zhenqiu's idea.
"The song "Fireworks are easy to cool" is different from ordinary pop music. It has a long historical and literary background behind it. Only by knowing the origin of the allusion and understanding the story can you know how to master the charm of this song."
Next, Fang Wens' teaching time.
It was also through Fang Wens' indoctrination that Shi Zhenqiu realized that the song "Fireworks are easy to cool" actually has a literary story that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The background of this song comes from "The Legend of Galan in Luoyang" written by Yang Xuanzhi in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
This literary work describes the thousand-year-old capital Luoyang City, which was prosperous and collapsed after the collapse.
In this story, a young general meets a beautiful woman. The two fall in love at first sight and have a private lifelong life.
However, the good times did not last long, and the general was recruited by the court to fight on the border.
However, in the era of chaos, Luoyang City has gone through wars and has become a ruin.
The woman's return of the general, but after waiting for years, she never waited.
In the end, the discouraged woman cut her hair into a nun, and used the ancient Buddha in the green lamp to fulfill her life.
Many years later, the general who fought outside finally returned.
But when he came to Kalan Temple, the woman had already passed away.
People living nearby told the general that there was always a woman waiting for him.
The general was sad and sighed that the world was unpredictable, and the people were divided into two parts, just like a fleeting firework.
This is the source of "Fireworks are easy to cool", and this song is also called Galan Song.
Shi Zhenqiu listened for more than an hour before he fully understood the background of the song and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was very glad that he did not give up his trip to Taiwan because of trouble. If that were the case, he would have lost the opportunity to truly master the essence of this song.
If he only performs this song according to the information provided by the voice, he will definitely not be able to show the true charm of the song because of the lack of insight.
In that case, if you want to be unique and have amazing performances, it becomes a luxury.
After learning about Fang Wens completely, he was also deeply moved.
"Sure enough, no matter the changes of the times, beautiful and sad love stories are so intoxicating. Listening to such stories, even if we later generations have more insights into love."
The same is true for Fang Wens.
"Who said no? Hearing such a story tells us to grasp the happiness in front of us in time. Otherwise, once hesitation and miss it, it will turn into a regret and tragedy for a lifetime. Such experience will not be outdated no matter how long it is."
Actually, he didn't know that after hearing the story of "Fireworks are easy to cold", Shi Zhenqiu's insights were actually more.
Didn’t he just live happily with his beloved women without going against his wishes, being scared by difficulties, and taking action in time and courage.
If you are afraid of the cold eyes and ethical constraints in the world, and are afraid of the trouble of emotional entanglement, can you still have the happiness today?
If you love, you must face it bravely.
Otherwise, he would be like that general, with only heart-wrenching regret.
Shi Zhenqiu was in a daze, as if he had also traveled through time and space, transforming into the general who had been through the battlefield for a long time and had gray hair.
He is no longer the proud young man of the past, wandering in the flowers-filled Luoyang City.
Although surrounded by the flowers, he was among the flowers, turning into a vow of unrepentance with the dazzling and dazzling beauty.
I originally made a promise to each other and stayed with each other for the rest of my life.
However, because of the hardships of the world, the two people who were in love were helpless and separated, but they were separated forever.
This love is longing for you over time, and who knows how to be haggard for you? I remember the road of flowers back then, but it is not Luoyang City today.
The general who came back again has become a staggering old man.
Luoyang City is not the Luoyang City that year, and the only one green lantern left behind by the person they once loved.
How can such an accident not make people sigh?
It can be said that Shi Zhenqiu gained a lot during this trip to Taiwan, and his entire spiritual realm has improved a lot.
After returning to South Korea, he struck while the iron was hot and immediately joined the adaptation of "Fireworks are easy to cool".
In addition, he also understood the true meaning of love and began to be with women more.
"I'm no, listen to this song."
