Chapter 534 Evaluation of Liu Qingshan
Director Hou is a deputy, and he also belongs to the lineage of Director Qi, but the most interesting thing is that his name is actually Hou Taizhang. It is said that this pleasant homophonic name has been passed down to the ministry.
So Hou Taizhang has been trying his best to guide everyone to add the word "deputy" when addressing his position. Only people who are close to him will not call him according to his wishes.
At this time, the stage was not temporarily interrupted because of the costumes. Jin Xishan was wearing clothes that had been changed long ago, but Liu Qingshan was still wearing the same outfit. Besides, there was no reserve suitable for his size on stage.
The song they sang was called "No. 18 on the Bund" and was "composed" in response to a request from Shanghai City. The other party wanted him to come up with a song with obvious Shanghai characteristics.
No. 18 on the Bund, located at the Nanjing intersection of the Bund in Shanghai, was originally the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank of England in China.
Now it has become a top comprehensive consumer building integrating flagship stores of world fashion brands, internationally famous restaurants, bars and art exhibition halls.
The first and second floors bring together world-class luxury clothing, accessories and jewelry stores, which represent the consumption concept of the elite. It also makes every guest who lingers here overlooking the elegant atrium and gazing at the bright chandeliers instantly become a wanderer.
Vanity Fair full of clothing and jewelry.
The fourth to seventh floors bring together gourmet food and bars from all over the world. The fifth and sixth floors are among the top 50 restaurants in the world. The terrace on the seventh floor has become a must-visit place to enjoy nightlife in Shanghai.
No. 18 on the Bund, which once witnessed the prosperity of the city's Bund, has now become the focus of the city again.
It not only redefines the new look of the prosperous city of Shanghai, but also establishes new models and standards for the technical quality considerations of historical building protection and commercial marketing strategies.
Coincidentally, the city government has just applied for its Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Protection Award to UNESCO, which shows the status of this building in the hearts of Shanghai locals.
So he searched for this song and made it the content of today's performance, and also completed the task assigned to him by Shanghai City.
I don't know what you are thinking
It’s still that place and that street.
That lingering place
Could it be that the balance of love has tilted?
Rainy Night (A Street Too Familiar)
All the feelings (no longer so warm)
Rainy night (feeling of heartache)
A moment's sight (the sky is snowing in the dark night)
No matter how many reasons (too many excuses)
Nothing can replace (your feeling of love for me)
No matter how many pictures (too many reasons)
Everything becomes an end
This is a duet between men and women in the true sense. It is rare for men and women to perform it at the same time, and the cooperation between the two is extremely important.
Compared with many songs that are useless or have no content, this song is really good.
The nice melody and lyrics don't have strong shades, so you won't get tired of listening to it.
The main melody of the lyrics is the sorrowful confession of burying the past, as if it is telling the ups and downs of the world in a relatively plain singing voice, and singing about the light and dark feelings of men and women.
The style of music takes the emotional line as the main axis, and uniquely incorporates a strong Shanghai style with a slightly blue sad temperament, which coincides with the special significance of No. 18, an ancient building on the Bund.
Perhaps outsiders' feelings will be reduced a lot after listening to it, but when it appears in the ears of Shanghai locals, it gives an extra sense of familiarity and intimacy.
Especially when singing here, Liu Qingshan specially added two raps, one is a Shanghai dialect rap done by him, and the other is an English rap by Jin Xishan.
If the previous paragraph brought a knowing smile to Shanghainese people, then Jin Xishan’s English rap was a surprise to everyone.
Because she has never tried singing in this style, and explaining the state of lovelorn in this way makes people see another shining side of her.
The two raps are perfectly integrated into the whole song, and there is no mechanical patchwork at all. Even Liu Qingshan's use of dialect does not sound funny at all, and it fits seamlessly with the sad theme of the theme.
Then the chorus part came, and the whole song suddenly sublimated a lot, with profound meaning and classic charm.
I don't know what you're thinking (you know it)
It’s still that place and that street Oh (the night we broke up)
That lingering place
Could it be that the balance of love has tilted?
I know exactly what you're thinking (I don't know)
It’s still that place and that street.
(The place where we met) everything ended
I understand that love is not everything you want
If you listen carefully, you will find that it is almost perfect and impeccable. Every word and every sound has the shadow of past hurt, but it also brings a sense of new life and difference.
The melody is beautiful, the arrangement is fresh, and the slightly soft electric feel is so comfortable that you won't feel tired if you repeat the song without falling into the trap.
The whole song is like a long stream of water, and the ending of the chorus is also very smooth and comfortable.
The piano intersperses between the sentences like flowing water, leaving the first half blank to create an atmosphere; the middle part is urgent to promote the emotion; the back end makes full use of Liu Qingshan's vocal range advantages to create a vaguely magnificent momentum, but it is not obtrusive at all.
At the beginning of the two people's singing, there was a cold tone, and the sound was polished and grainy. Unlike the previous energetic and dynamic performance, this time it was like a collection of emotions hiding in the dark and ready to go out.
A brand new music style, full of innovation and breakthrough elements that subverts previous perceptions, will bring people a deeper understanding and freshness of music.
This is almost the norm in Liu Qingshan's works, and it is also the reason why whenever he releases a new song, it will attract special attention from both the industry and outside.
Among the people in the monitoring room at this time, there was an expert scholar in music. He was the second treasure temporarily invited by the leadership of Shanghai Satellite TV.
In fact, Liu Qingshan knows this person and has even worked with him before. Because "The Voice of China" is a major music production, the TV station spent a lot of effort in advance to invite him over.
He was sighing at this time: "Shanzi's unique innovative ability in music is almost unrivaled in the world. This is the main reason why every one of his English songs can firmly dominate the European and American music charts!
"
"Mr. Liu's ability in music is really so terrifying?" This is a homophone that the deputy director couldn't help but ask.
Erbao smiled and shook his head: "I don't want to admit that there are people with better musical literacy than me. Unfortunately, this is reality! You may not know it if you are not in this industry. I remember that at the Hong Kong premiere of "Kung Fu", the little girl Taylor
The song she sang live became popular again. In just three days, it shot to the top of the charts in more than a dozen countries, knocking out even Michael Jackson from the top spot which he had held for five weeks!"
"So, the good voice created by him is still worthy of the market's expectations?"
"There is no doubt about this. He also has the same uniqueness in program planning. Moreover, our China's The Voice is launched at the same time as the same program in Europe and the United States. It is only expected that the wave of The Voice will sweep the world.
thing!"
"But our negotiations with them didn't go very smoothly. The main reason is that some people in our station thought that Mr. Liu's asking price was too high!"
The person who said these words was the director of the station, Qi Liangzhuo. The meaning of his words was very profound, and anyone could hear what he meant.
What caused him unhappiness was that he was not the only one in the management of Shanghai Satellite TV. The other deputy directors had their own support, and their attitude towards this project was very political. If you support him, you will oppose it.
Take a stand.
Although Erbao is not a member of the officialdom, he has extensive experience. However, because of his love for music, even if he knows that the person in front of him intends to use him as a weapon, he still intends to express his suggestions truthfully.
"In fact, if you ask around in our industry, you will know that Shanzi has made enough concessions in our country. Several TV stations in London, Seattle, and New York are examples. If the conditions proposed by Xueyu this time are artificially raised,
Those TV stations have been attacked by lions!"
His answer made Qi Liangzhuo very satisfied, and he was also keenly aware that someone around him looked unhappy.
So he decisively decided to strike while the iron was hot: "I heard that this person seems to be in the ministry. Have you heard about the personnel changes caused by the Naying incident in Kyoto?"
Erbao has no intention of being involved in the fight on the stage, but he hopes to become the music director of The Voice.
Because it is not easy to get this opportunity, he is not the only one with the ability to participate in the mainland market. Moreover, he is only forty years old and does not have deep qualifications.
So he deliberately followed his words to help others: "This matter is not a secret in Kyoto, many people know it! But if Shanzi is not running it, I don't know it, but I heard that he has connections in many ministerial departments, and even
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is constantly dealing with him!"
Qi Liangzhuo is a good person. When he heard this, he knew that his goal had been achieved, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Since it is on the same schedule as similar programs in Europe and the United States, is it possible to invite people from there to guest star in our programs in the future?"
"It's completely possible! As far as I know, Shanzi's influence in the European and American entertainment circles is higher than that of our mainland, and even the fan base there is much stronger than here!"
"Er Bao, from what you said, your personal relationship with Mr. Liu is not bad?" someone suddenly asked.
Erbao nodded: "There are some personal contacts and cooperation."
"Then what is your evaluation of this knowledge?"
"Liu Huan and I have discussed this topic in depth. What we have in common is that we are unfathomable, will retaliate, attach great importance to emotions, have a strong national psychology, and have an immeasurable future!"
Liu Qingshan himself did not know these things behind the scenes. At this time, after a short break, he stood on the stage with others.
