Chapter 239 Deviant Chinese Style Songs
The singing session was still going on. After Li Yimu and Nan Xiaoyue returned to the lounge, they closed their eyes and meditated, reviewing the songs to be sung in the second round of the peak finals.

The reason for the song is that he accompanied Nan Xiaoyue to watch a TV series. The hero of the TV series was a general who told his beloved girl that he would marry her when he came back. As a result, the war continued for several years.

The girl waited for a year and a year, but still did not see him come back. Many people advised her to get married, but she refused to listen. In order to avoid those who came to propose marriage, she shaved her hair and became a nun and continued to wait.

Finally the general came back. He searched everywhere for the girl's whereabouts, but he couldn't find it. Later, someone told him that in a certain monastery, a monk with shaved hair and turned into a nun had been waiting for him.

He rushed to the monastery, but got the bad news that she had gone west
This sad story led to the song in the dream, the title of the song is "Fireworks Are Cold", a "magic work" that has shocked Li Yimu countless times!

First of all, when this MV video first appeared in his dream, he was shocked. The reason for the shock was not how exquisite the MV picture was, but because it revealed a cheap atmosphere from the very beginning, with simple sets and ordinary ancient costumes , making Li Yimu think it was a random song.

What shocked him next was that the author of this song was actually the singer who wrote "Daoxiang" and "General". The moment he appeared in the MV, he directly gave Li Yimu a huge sense of contrast.

No way, can this genius also write bad songs?Then he uttered the first line of lyrics, which made him dispel this idea, and began to appreciate and memorize the score.

Did you think the shock was over?No, the real shock came after he pulled the sheet music off.

He couldn't help being shocked again: "Is this really a Chinese style song?"

Listening to the lyrics and melody in the dream, he obviously felt that it was Chinese style, but in the score that was picked up, he was confused for a moment, because there were a lot of "west" in the whole score.

The traditional Chinese five tones are "Gongshangjiao Zhengyu", that is, "Duolaimisola". Of course, the sounds of "Bianzheng" and "Biangong" also appear occasionally, that is, "Fa" and "Xi". But traditional pentatonic music uses very little of these two tones.

It can only be said that the reason why a genius is a genius is because he can control things that ordinary people cannot control, do things that ordinary people cannot do, and jump out of the "rules" that ordinary people set up by themselves, for example, in a Chinese style song , adding a lot of "west".

The sound of "Xi" is not easy to control. When this sound appears, it is easy to make people look forward to it, because its appearance often means that the song will rise to "Duo", and the momentum will go further.

But this song is used a lot, but every "west" is used just right, so that people can't find any shortcomings.

What still shocked Li Yimu was that in the phrases of this song, some chords were used that should not appear in Huaxia style songs at all.

When it came out, Li Yimu thought that his pitch was wrong, and there was something wrong with his hearing, but when he played it on the piano, he was shocked again.

Take the second-to-last and first-to-last lines of the chorus as an example, the Bm7 chord directly transitions to the E7 chord, such a seemingly deviant design, because of this chord change, the four phrases of the chorus are directly completed. The four elements of "initiation, inheritance and transformation".

At that time, Li Yimu knelt down. He believed that if such a score was in the hands of anyone who understands music theory, he would not believe that it was a Chinese style, but it happened to be.

Even if there are no lyrics, no vocals, and only the performance of musical instruments, you can still hear the feeling of Xiao Su's desolation.

Li Yimu was greatly shocked by the composition, and even more shocked by the arrangement. After listening carefully to the accompaniment of the song, he unexpectedly discovered that this Chinese style song has no national instruments, and all the accompaniments are composed of Western instruments!
At the same time, it also changed Li Yimu's inherent point of view: "Who said that Chinese-style movies only have red lanterns, and who said that Chinese-style music can only use Gong Shangjiao to sign feathers?"

The release of this song not only shocked Li Yimu, but also shocked his arranger team, Yang Jinbao, and Su Tairan.

They looked at Li Yimu, shocked what kind of genius this is to write such an unorthodox Chinese melody, this innovation is too bold.

Even Su Tairan couldn't help saying to Li Yimu: "I've been taught!"

Li Yimu was so frightened that he quickly dodged the master's bow, and said to himself: "I'm not a genius, but a genius porter!"

On the stage presentation of this bold song, Li Yimu had a disagreement with his arranger team. They believed that the vocals should be emphasized and the presence of instruments should be reduced. The song part was only accompanied by piano, and the interludes of guitar were replaced by Chinese instruments. Erhu enhances the feeling of bleakness.

At the same time, they also felt that they could slow down the rhythm a bit, and let Li Yimu sing a kind of eloquence, telling everyone a sad and moving story.

But Li Yimu believes that the original version should be maintained, because he thinks that the genius in the dream really doesn't know that using Chinese musical instruments will make the music more Chinese?His uselessness is obviously deliberate, just to tell others that Huaxia Feng does not only do that, but also does this!
Therefore, Li Yimu firmly believed that the original version should be maintained. The two sides were at a stalemate. He asked the teacher, the deputy music director of the program, Yang Jinbao. After listening to the explanations of both parties, he immediately stood on the same side with Li Yimu.

Wang Chengang and Sun Xiangyi still believe that if they switch to the erhu and strengthen the vocals, they can exaggerate the bleak atmosphere and get more votes.

"Is the ranking really that important? I think it is more important to open this door of innovation, so that more and better music will flow in, making our Chinese music scene better and better!" Yang Jinbao asked back.

"Well said!" Li Yimu applauded. In fact, he didn't have any lofty ideas to open the door, but simply thought that the original singer should be respected.

"The matter of opening the door, we can do it in the production of the follow-up album!" Sun Xiangyi retorted.

"There is a thing called preconceivedness. If it is a first-release song, I don't care about adding erhu, lowering the vocals, etc., but after all, the first performance of this song is on the stage of "Singer"!" Li Yimu replied.

"Okay, your song is up to you, and we can only offer opinions!" Sun Xiangyi stopped talking immediately, and the other members of the arrangement team also fell silent and started to work.

Only Wang Chengang complained indignantly: "You think everyone is a genius like you, dare to deviate from the orthodoxy to write about the Huaxia style, even if the door is opened, no one will be able to come in, cut it!"

"Then I can't help it, at least I have done what I should do!" Li Yimu said.

Yes, it's really not certain that someone can follow in.

　To be honest, the first thing I thought about was the song "Fireworks Are Easy to be Cold", which appeared on the stage in Lin Zhixuan's version, but when I was collecting information, I accidentally saw a great god talking about it in the software "Share the story I just made up". The analysis of this song found that there is a mystery in this song. It is a "deviant" Chinese style song made by deliberately using a lot of "Western".

　　After reading the analysis, I decided to maintain the original design of the song. I didn't want to change the version, so I felt that the change was not right.In addition, I didn't want to write too professionally, but I didn't say a lot of points, because I was afraid that everyone would not feel how strong this song is.

　　Either it is said that the master is different, I think Jay Chou is awesome, he can only talk about awesomeness, people say that he can use a large piece of music theory analysis as evidence, the space is limited, only a small part of the article is written, if you are interested Friends can go to see the original answer, search for this song and the first answer is it.
