"We never grew up,
Before we knew it, we had aged,
Trying hard but still not understanding the youth around us!"
Before the performance, An Ye Tu said this song was a gift from Ting Yu to Mo Yan.
Now, everyone could also hear that this song was not just singing about Mo Yan, but also responding to the controversy surrounding An Ye Tu's off-key performance.
"Ting Yu is a genius!"
Liu Huan took a deep breath, surprise evident in his voice.
In the public's perception, what was most important in singing?
Some would say singing in tune.
However, most of the last words in this song did not land on the beat, yet it sounded incredibly harmonious.
Others would say singing in tune.
Yet, a large part of this song also had no melody, performed through speaking.
Under these circumstances,
Who could say that An Ye Tu did not sing this song well?
Clearly,
The more professional the person,
The more they could understand how astonishing An Ye Tu's interpretation was in the conservative Chinese music scene!
"Finding excuses for yourself,
Responding to the temptations of love, the twists of fate,
Fighting back beyond your strength, until death, Da Feng Novel
Over the hills..."
The entire song, only in the second chorus, gradually incorporated other instruments.
The moment the strings appeared, it suddenly felt like a sudden realization.
And all the groundwork laid before,
Exploded in an instant!
Backstage,
Mi Lu suddenly spoke, "Isn't this bullying!"
Her voice carried a hint of grievance.
This tone, coupled with such a unique singing style, was a complete emotion harvester.
No more to say.
Let me cry first!
"Chattering incessantly, the sorrow of time slipping away,
Responding to the temptations of love, the twists of fate,
Fighting back beyond your strength, until death!
Why can't I remember who last gave me a hug
And when..."
At some point,
The barrage of comments was uniformly flooded with the same text.
"One more!"
"One more!"
"I'm going to light up two!"
This song was too soul-crushing!
Listening to it made the heart feel heavy!
Especially with the addition of An Ye Tu's voice, full of a sense of vicissitude,
It flowed like a river, unhurried, telling a story.
Even the final burst of energy carried a sense of vicissitude.
Every line held the taste of time!
Every line was like looking back at the past and speaking to the youth.
The venue was silent.
Even after the song ended,
There was no applause,
No waving of light sticks.
Everyone was quietly savoring the song's transmission of time.
On the judging panel,
Liu Huan took a deep breath, "This song is definitely Ting Yu carrying it!"
That's right.
A typical case of the song carrying the singer.
"He's telling everyone what the soul of a song is," Han Qi said happily.
Ting Yu had been silent for so long.
Finally, he spoke out.
He spoke out in his strongest way.
Letting everyone intuitively understand what the soul of a song is.
"I didn't understand it, but my nose felt a little sore..."
Yin Na cried.
She, who loved high notes the most, found her eyes welling up with tears in such a simple song.
Even she didn't expect to be moved to tears by such a gentle song.
She didn't understand, but she was deeply moved.
This was Yin Na's current state.
"Alright, before we didn't know An Ye Tu's gender, then we didn't know which city he was from, and now we can't even guess his age!"
"It's hard to imagine young people singing with such a deep sense of vicissitude, but if he's not young, then an old person wouldn't be able to sing the feeling in his previous songs."
"A monster! This rabbit is a monster!"
...
Mi Lu was singing a love song.
Her trump cards were all used up in the previous two rounds, and her survival until now was purely due to luck.
However, she also knew that her luck had completely run out.
Reaching this point was already very satisfying, and she had no regrets.
During the judge's review segment.
"Teacher Mo Yan, I'd like to hear your critique of An Ye Tu's narrative singing style. With your extensive experience, you should know something, right?" Yin Na was most curious about this; she had been singing for so many years and had never heard such a style.
Not just her.
The audience watching the show was equally curious.
After all, this was the first time they had heard such a singing style.
Truly, rap!
"Actually, I don't understand it very well either." Mo Yan held the microphone and shook his head with a smile, "However, I've analyzed it. The singing and speaking in this song are not arranged randomly but are intentional. Which lines should be sung and which should be spoken are arranged according to the narrative structure of storytelling. And haven't you noticed that when he sings, it's similar to the Beijing rhyme drum?"
Mo Yan's words caused a stir of surprise in the audience.
Everyone thought An Ye Tu's speaking and singing were done casually, but no one expected there to be such a method to it.
"In short, thank you for this song Ting Yu gave me. I like it very much." Mo Yan finally smiled.
He had intended to write one song and then announce his retirement, but he had lacked inspiration.
However, this song gave him endless inspiration!
"As expected of a senior," An Ye Tu murmured softly. Da Feng Novel Network
The structure of "起承转合" (qǐ chéng zhuǎn hé - introduction, development, turn, conclusion).
This is the essence of the singing style in the song "Mountain Hill."
The first two lines sung represent the 'qǐ' and 'chéng,' the third line spoken represents the 'zhuǎn,' and the fourth line returns to singing, giving a sense of 'hé.'
The most important aspect of a story is its structure.
Similarly, within this 'zhuǎn,' there is also a speaking method.
That is, the first few words are spoken, and the latter part is sung.
This is the rap mode of Beijing rhyme drum. Old Beijingers all know that the Beijing rhyme drum method is to speak first, and then the last few words are sung with some tonal variations.
This is a highly narrative singing style, especially suitable for storytelling.
The song "Mountain Hill" tells a story of a middle-aged person looking back on the past and lamenting the impermanence of fate, making it a perfect match for this singing style!
Mo Yan's critique made Yin Na marvel repeatedly.
Like most people, she thought An Ye Tu was just singing casually, but no one expected it to contain so much depth.
"Teacher Mo Yan has commented on the song, so I'll comment on the singing technique," Liu Huan suddenly picked up the microphone.
Everyone's interest was piqued upon seeing this.
Liu Huan cleared his throat, looked at An Ye Tu, and said with a smile, "My comment on An Ye Tu's song is that there is no technique, only emotion."
