Chapter 630 Iron-blooded Heart
Chapter 630 Iron-blooded Heart
The continuous and rapid ascending string music made the atmosphere tense and exciting.
The drum beats simulated by the electronic synthesizer, like the sound of horse hooves, instantly bring the audience into the story world of "war and smoke everywhere".
Along with the string music, there is also a singing voice that is as overwhelming as yellow sand. The majestic and heroic momentum makes people feel as if they are facing the vastness of the desert.
This is a perfect opening!
It's a feeling that no music from any martial arts drama has ever brought.
It can be said that as soon as the prelude sounded, the four words "heart-stirring" spontaneously appeared in Zheng Yu's mind.
Looking at the song title "Tie Xue Dan Xin", even before he heard the singer open his mouth, he felt that the song was already a success!
But the next female voice that spoke amazed Zheng Yu with the first sentence!
'It seems I've seen it before in a dream'
'Turbulence in the Heart'
Many people did not expect that the martial arts song created by Zigui this time was in Cantonese.
The singing voice is extremely penetrating. Just by listening to one sentence, you can feel the singer's strong breath control and wide vocal range.
'Let go of worldly affairs and end sorrow and resentment'
'Together to the Horizon'
Cui Peng's voice is gorgeous, clear and elegant, which matches Ye Xin's voice very well.
For people in Beizhou who are familiar with him, it is a surprise to hear Cui Peng’s new songs again. This is almost the strength of a singer, which is really not seen in a long time.
'Chasing grass in all directions, the desert is vast'
After the two of them sang a line, before Cui Peng finished singing his line, Ye Xin sang another line:
'Cold wind blows/the sky is blue'
Two completely different lines of lyrics, two voices, one hard and one soft, collide with each other in such a contradictory yet incomparably harmonious way.
'I'm not afraid of the snow and frost blowing in my face'
'Vines and trees connected'
The following part is almost the same.
'The Condor Heroes, Drawing the Bow and Galloping Across the Great Wall'
'Strong wind and sand/vast wilderness'
A painting with the scenery of the frontier and the lonely smoke in the desert as the background is unfolding.
'Laughing and proud in this life without getting tired'
'The vines and trees are entwined'
'You should know that love is like flowing water'
'The sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless'
The different lyrics and images, some broad and some lingering, are equally consistent with the delicate emotional changes in the singing.
'It's a mess that can't be sorted out'
'Various changes'
Cui Peng's voice became more powerful and majestic, with a hint of tenderness in it. Ye Xin's voice was high-pitched and full of tenderness, yet heroic and resolute.
In their voices, there is the high spirits of the martial arts world, as well as the chivalrous spirit and tenderness.
'The calamities of the body are also in the heart'
'The Dilemma of Gratitude and Loyalty'
As the two sang this line, their voices overlapped again.
Love between young men and women and loyalty and righteousness in martial arts seem to merge into one at this moment, together forming the story world that many people yearn for.
This "simple" song completely overturned Zheng Yu's impression of martial arts-themed songs after just one listen.
Such a song that sounds full of profound meaning must be very consistent with the plot.
Zheng Yu's expectations for this drama have reached their peak at this time.
It’s a pity that there are still ten hours before the show starts.
Zheng Yu felt quite regretful and clicked on 'Single Repeat'.
After listening to it several times and spending the whole morning, he finally wrote a music review of several thousand words.
As usual, Zheng Yu released it on major platforms.
Given his popularity as a music critic and the buzz surrounding the new song itself, this extremely long review quickly circulated.
The title of the music review [Poetic and picturesque lyrics and music, the perfect answer to the theme song of a martial arts drama] makes it clear at a glance how highly Zheng Yu praises this song.
His music reviews are as usual, first negative and then positive.
At the beginning, I said that I had no expectations for Zigui's new martial arts work. It was not because I was not confident in Zigui's ability, but because I was not confident in this subject matter.
He then listed several examples.
As a fan, Zheng Yu was very worried that Zigui would fail.
But the result was really unexpected.
Far from disappointing, the new song made him feel that if all the martial arts-themed songs were taken out separately, this song would be ranked first.
And from whichever angle you look at it.
In terms of composition, Zigui uses a scale system with quite ethnic characteristics, called Yaleyu mode. This mode makes the melody sound ancient and vast, which is consistent with the background of the new drama previously announced by Tangxing Company.
In addition, the combination of modern instrument techniques and classical music elements is a dialogue and fusion of modern and classical music. The highly visual musical language has proven that such innovation is extremely successful.
——For the parallel world, this is a combination of Chinese and Western.
From the perspective of lyric writing, the opening evokes memories and sets the tone, which is a common "starting point" in literature.
The lyrics are concise and simple, sketching out a picture of the scenery outside the Great Wall with just a few words.
Not to mention the contrast between the heroic and tender artistic conception.
There is also the recurring chorus part, the line "It's difficult to break the bond between gratitude and loyalty", which condenses the spiritual core of the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes": finding a balance between personal feelings and family and country.
The lyrics and music of this song are both top-notch.
The singing part was not bad either.
The two voices, both strong and soft, merge into one, with timbre, range, and even emotion perfectly complementing each other.
Zheng Yu even sighed in the end of his music review, saying that if singing voices could also make a couple, then he would ship the singing of these two people!
After putting forward a well-reasoned argument, Zheng Yu also wrote a sentence at the end of the music review about the only shortcoming of this song.
——The lyrics, music and singing are so good that his expectations for the plot are infinitely high. This will make him have preconceived ideas and make him prone to nitpicking about the new drama.
There are many people who agree with Zheng Yu's idea.
Especially those who were amazed by the new songs.
At the same time, Zheng Yu's music review also created a good advertising effect, and more and more people went to listen to the song.
The topic of "Tie Xue Dan Xin" was on the hot search headlines in just a few hours.
[The lyrics are just a few words, but they perfectly match the meaning of the song and the purpose of the music. The intention is really high.]
[Is Ye Xin a newcomer at Tangxing Entertainment? Her singing skills are truly impressive. She can sing with Teacher Cui without falling behind. There are only a few in the industry who can do that.]
[The song's polyphony is incredibly advanced, way above 90% of pop songs!]
Ye Xin is said to be a retired contestant from a certain program. Her performance there... well, how should I put it... your shady dealings with the production team are too obvious, aren't they? Such a talented singer, and you almost ruined her.
[Hahaha, I watched that show. Ye Xin kept singing songs that didn't require any singing skills, and they were all cute. I can only say that the singing was fine, but it was inappropriate.]
[I really want to ask the director of that show if he regrets it now]
[Teacher Cui must have come out again for this song. Zigui is really strong.]
[Before listening to the song: "Martial arts? What martial arts? I don't even care to watch that kind of drama." After listening to the song: "I'd love to see what kind of plot is worthy of such a song of such artistic value!"]
……
It is very rare that the online reviews of the new song are almost one-sided.
