After traveling through time, I am amazed everyone in Huayu

Chapter 189 The Music Circle’s Contempt Chain

"Thank you everyone!" Cheng Yu bowed deeply to the audience, his eyes flashing with confidence and satisfaction.

Yu Shanshan walked onto the stage and said excitedly: "Thank you Cheng Yu for bringing us such a wonderful performance!

This song "Blue Lotus" not only shows his outstanding singing talent, but also makes us feel the unique charm of the fusion of rock and folk music! "

Cheng Yu smiled and gestured, then walked off the stage.

Back at the spectator booth, Fang Xieyue gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Great, Teacher Cheng Yu! You performed this song to perfection!"

Cheng Yu looked at him gratefully and they smiled at each other.

This performance was undoubtedly a highlight of the evening.

At the same time, it also made more people remember Cheng Yu, the extraordinary singer, and Fang Xieyue, the talented songwriter.

The one-minute voting time that followed passed in a flash.

Next comes the guest comments session.

The host Yu Shanshan listened to the assistant director's instructions in the headset, and then turned her gaze to the audience seats.

She raised her lips slightly and said with a smile: "Among the nine stages performed tonight, three stages were rock songs.

Then let us first invite Mr. Bo Yong, who also composed a rock song, to tell us what you think of this song "Blue Lotus"! "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else understood the deeper meaning behind them.

The other three groups of guests who came to challenge the champion all had an expression of watching the fun on their faces.

No matter they are singers or songwriters, it is really difficult for them to judge the right thing to do when commenting on songs of the same type as their own works.

If your work is inferior and the other party's performance is better, should you frankly admit that the other party is better?

Or do you go against your conscience and insist that your work is the best?

No matter what choice you make, it will be a test of your character and emotional intelligence.

Just as everyone was secretly wondering what Bai Yong would say.

Suddenly, there was a solitary applause.

Bai Yong first clapped his hands a few times, then he picked up the microphone and praised generously:

"Teacher Cheng Yu's singing is so touching! It is simply an unparalleled audio-visual feast!"

"I really like Mr. Cheng Yu's performance. His voice is very powerful and he interprets this song to its fullest.

Especially the high notes at the end were really shocking, and I believe every audience member at the scene must have the same feeling as me."

The next second, there was warm applause from the audience.

The audience responded to Bai Yong's words with applause.

After a brief pause, Bai Yong continued, "And Fang Xieyue's level of songwriting is truly unrivaled!"

"She skillfully blends the power of rock with the warmth of folk music, like the perfect combination of sunshine and wind and rain.

It seems to have given the song a soul, making "Blue Lotus" glow with unprecedented vitality."

"She has such strength at such a young age. It's true that young people are to be feared!" Finally, Bai Yong sighed sincerely.

After saying that, he turned sideways to look at Fang Xieyue and gave her a thumbs up.

Fang Xieyue smiled and nodded slightly to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Bai Yong."

However, the assistant director seemed to think that this would not have much effect or highlights.

So, he decisively gave instructions to Yu Shanshan through the headset.

Ask her to change her questioning strategy and shift the target to another person.

Yu Shanshan understood what he meant, and immediately smiled sweetly and said:

“Thank you very much for Mr. Bai Yong’s wonderful comments. Next, let’s invite Mr. Yan Lei to listen to his unique views on this song!”

"Teacher Yan Lei is a senior rock musician with more than ten years of rich experience.

It can be said that he is definitely one of the most influential predecessors in the field of rock music.”

Yan Lei picked up the microphone, his eyes were somewhat cold, even with a hint of imperceptible disdain.

“I don’t think there’s anything special about this song ‘Blue Lotus’.

The spirit of rock and roll is rebellion and resistance, and this song seems too mild. "

There is a chain of contempt in the Chinese entertainment and music circles.

Those who play classical music look down on those who play jazz.

Those who play jazz look down on those who play rock.

Those who play rock music look down on those who play folk music.

People who play folk songs look down on those who play pop songs.

Those who play pop music look down on those who play classical music.

And this group of people, everyone looks down on those who play rap.

In Yan Lei's heart, the song "Blue Lotus" written by Fang Xieyue can be said to have accurately hit the pain points of those pure rock musicians.

Combining rock and folk elements into one song.

It is like for a person who loves delicious food, it is unbearable for someone to add cilantro and watercress, which he hates, into his favorite food.

Hearing Yan Lei's words, Fang Xieyue chuckled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the microphone and said:

"Teacher Yan said that the spirit of rock and roll lies in rebellion and resistance. I wonder who defined this?"

“Is the spirit of rock music inherently rebellious and rebellious? Has anyone ever asked rock music itself whether it agrees or not?”

"Or is this a saying that has been passed down since the early days of rock and roll?"

"Or is it you, Mr. Yan, who claims to be a pure rock musician, who defines it yourself?"

What is the spirit of rock and roll?

There is no absolute answer to this question.

The spirit of rock and roll lies in the mental attitude of the person who performs rock and roll.

Everyone has different views on the rock spirit, so the rock spirit cannot be concretized.

Yan Lei frowned and was about to open his mouth to refute when he heard Fang Xieyue's voice again.

"Also, Teacher Yan said that this song "Blue Lotus" is too gentle. I would like to ask Teacher Yan, what do you think is so gentle about this song?"

"Is it because the arrangement of this song is gentle? But to me, this arrangement sounds so exciting and thrilling!"

"Or is it that the lyrics are gentle? But these lyrics are full of yearning and pursuit for freedom, and are clearly full of passion and power!"

Fang Xieyue looked puzzled and asked, "Is it because this song doesn't have the rebellious lyrics, explosive arrangement, and unique attitude like other rock songs?"

"Then I would like to ask Teacher Yan, does all rock music have to be so stereotyped?

Or is this the only way to embody the so-called rock spirit? "

Fang Xieyue's expression was quite sincere, as if he was really seeking advice with an open mind.

But every word she said was like a sharp bullet, hitting Yan Lei directly at the vital point, leaving him unable to refute.

The atmosphere at the scene also became tense because of Fang Xieyue's words.

The audience in the auditorium lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
