Although the songs on “Chinese Songs” are new, they have all been carefully arranged and accompanied by teachers from the music team.
The lyrics subtitles are made in advance by the post-production team, and not only can they be played on the big screen at the scene, but they are also embedded in the live broadcast, usually in a vertical format, appearing on the right side of the screen.
As for the lyrics of Li Tiezhu’s song “Huaxia Keeps Turning”, it was written in an ethereal brush style, accompanied by a small amount of ink haloing and splash effects, which looked ancient and atmospheric.
At the tutor’s seat, Liu Le smiled brightly, arrogance written all over his large, rosy round face.
Yu Quan shook his head and applauded, “Awesome, the song is good and the words are better.”
This one is really too strong, there’s no way around it, and his next opponent is Liu Le’s team, so he has to come up with a Tian Ji Horse Race, letting the weakest group member go against Li Tiezhu.
Liu Le said, “That’s why Li Tiezhu is the genius of geniuses.”
Cai Ya cupped her face and pretended to be young, “Wow~ This song is too good, right? Holy crap! Divine melody roar!”
Yang Keqian frowned and closed his eyes, his body twitching, a characteristic of his enjoyment of music.
The live audience was enthralled by the music and didn’t make much noise, appearing quiet.
Penguin Live was different, as the audience could press pause to send pop-ups at any time, continue listening after sending pop-ups, or return after listening to a song to rewatch it while sending pop-ups:
“Arts student report, I love this song, mum no longer needs to worry about my history grades.”
“There is the beauty of chapter and costume, called Hua; there is the greatness of etiquette, called Xia.”
“Look at this situation, is Brother Serene going to sing all 5,000 years of Chinese history in one song?”
“There’s absolutely no need to be sceptical!”
“Isn’t this word much better than the previous one of love?”
“I don’t understand it, please explain.”
“Awesome!”
“This song is awesome.”
“This is a good Chinese song! What the hell were those in the front?”
“Li Tiezhu is here to strike a blow against everyone, including the four on stage.”
“It should be sung in junior high school history class.”
Li Tiezhu sang very calmly, not because in order to be able to show the vicissitudes of five thousand years of history, he pretended to be affectionate or impassioned, but chose to tell the story in an unflinching way.
After all, five thousand years of accumulation of years, there is no need to be vocal, she herself is as lofty as a mountain.
What is the difference between a slave and a prince
The Great Wall lost its deer and collapsed
The end of heroes brings a new world
Who returns with white hair alone
The camel’s bell floats to Rome
Across the desert and the sea, a place to call home.
The sparks of the Green Forest and the Red Eyebrows
The flames of the fire burnt up ten thousand families.
The story of Yan Ran is still being told.
The snake’s image of chopping off the snake
The dynasty has become a withered painting.
The hero’s past is finally a great wave of sand.
“Pah-pah-pah-pah ……”
The applause of the audience rang out, but it soon stopped because Li Tiezhu’s song didn’t stop, but suddenly drew up.
Who cross long lance to give a poem
When will it become the distant hope of Longzhong pair
See the many talented Jiangnan tigers in the Yangtze River
How long is the road to the Northern Expedition
Let the revival become empty words
I’ll give up my fame for a moment in the bamboo forest.
This section sums up the magnificent ambitions and regrets of the Three Kingdoms.
In the backstage aisle, Hei Waer and Stuffy Duner stood against the side, staring at the TV screen diagonally above them, their eyes full of admiration. The two of them couldn’t enter the match, so they could only wait here for Li Tiezhu.
Hei Waer hand pinched a balloon filled with water, fingering skilful force uniformity, exclaimed: “To believe in light! Le is the heritage of China.”
Stuffy Duner: “Really le have five thousand years of Mai?”
“You think the shell shiver?”
“That Western historians say only three thousand six hundred years?”
“That is the first clear written records of the beginning, but also do not want to aha, western civilisation monuments and artifacts, which can withstand scrutiny? Homer’s epic was written on parchment scrolls, a little bit of calculations know that we need to use up the Greek region of the parchment for decades …….”
“It doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, does it?”
“And in the face of floods, you Westerners know to build boats to escape, but the East is the Great Yu to rule the water, your Western fire is to go to the mountain of God to steal, our Chinese fire is the Suiren’s own to get out of the drop.”
“You black people have what qualifications pointing at my le nose say you westerners?”
Black Wahl: “Anyway, that’s what it means, listen to the song.”
Stuffy Tuner went to grab a balloon: “Give me a pinch.”
The song continues to float:
The Chang’an of the nine heavens
All the countries are painting the Ching Kuan.
The sages and Buddhists have written a few more mountains and rivers.
The world will come to an end
One city will redeem the country
A few revivals will end up with a broken flower.
Because of Li Tiezhu’s joining, “China’s Best Songs” has also started to gain a lot of viewers abroad, most of whom come for Aynpera Lee, especially after Li Tiezhu won three Grammy awards, and his popularity and influence in the West has further increased.
Taking advantage of Li Tiezhu, the other contestants of “China’s Best Song” were also seen and heard by those foreign audiences, and a few of them were very popular.
Among them, the most popular ones were the Band on the Mountain and Zhao Liya. The Band on the Mountain’s interesting music was refreshing to the foreigners.
Zhao Liya’s songwriting talent and sweet looks also attracted a lot of fans, she subverted the Oriental aesthetics of some Westerners, the original Chinese beauty looks like this ah!
And the most emotionless is the long-haired Huo Zhi En, at first people thought he was a girl and kinda liked him until they knew he was a guy ……
But no matter what, these foreign viewers’ favourite is still Li Tiezhu, the song “China Keeps Turning” is good, but they don’t understand it.
That’s okay, there are those who know Chinese history did the translation and explanation word by word on the pop-up screen.
“The soldier peaks of Zhuo Lu melted. Meaning, after the Battle of Zhuo Deer. This war took place 4,600 years ago and was the first war in history in which hundreds of thousands of people were involved ……”
“The Hundred Hundred Bustling Jijie. More than two thousand years ago China and the West opened up philosophical trends and the germ of ideas almost simultaneously, and the establishment of the Jixi Academy marked the culmination of the hundred schools of thought.”
“Those immortal laws extolled on the Qin Dao refer to the fact that Qin completed the first great unification of China, and the Qin Empire, which relied on legalism to rule the world, reached its peak. The Qin Road refers to the Qin Straight Road, a wide road established by the Great Qin Empire to connect the whole country, totalling tens of thousands of kilometres, most of which were used until the Qing Dynasty two hundred years ago. Personally, I thought it was an even more grand and beneficial project than the Great Wall.”
“Who crosses the long lance to give a poem, when it becomes the distant hope of the Longzhong Pair, talking about the period of the Three Kingdoms’ struggle for supremacy, which is also familiar to Westerners, the leader in the north was an eloquent statesman and an outstanding poet. And the Chancellor of the Southwest was the pinnacle of the Chinese literati, an all-round man of extraordinary ability in the fields of literature, politics, music, the military, and mechanics, whose superior intelligence was practically tantamount to foresight of the future and mind-reading.”
“Hu dust engulfed the falling sun of the Upper River Map, speaking of the downfall of the Song Dynasty. This was the first time in Chinese history that China was completely ruled by a foreign race, but this did not mean the interruption of Chinese civilisation, quite the contrary, the foreign race that ruled them lost their own culture.”
“Zhu Xian looked at the Yellow Dragon from afar and hated the fact that the national shame had not yet ended. Sorry, this one is only meant to be understood, so if you really want to figure it out go learn Chinese. Something worth mentioning is that Zhu, the founding emperor of Ming, defeated the Mongol Empire and then recovered the skull of an emperor from the Song Dynasty and buried it. The skull of this emperor had been the wine cup of the Mongol emperor.”
……
And at the show, accompanied by Li Tiezhu’s calm singing, many audience members had already reddened their eyes, of course, not with sadness but with excitement and pride.
Such is the infectious power of music that it can sing the lyrics into people’s hearts.
Revelling in the years of Kangxi and Qianlong
The world has changed
The young men of spirit
Broke the shackles of the nation
Reinventing China
Turning the rough terrain into a smooth river
After tens of thousands of miles of hardship
How many heroes live on in this world?
Those who crossed the great passes
Where are they now?
The world is left with thousands of buildings.
Five thousand years is just a fleeting moment in the universe.
How many volumes of the Dragon Totem have been written?
People are busy for the rejuvenation
Millions of people converge to form a new hope
After the change of the world
Here is the meaning of our past existence
Time is flowing
The wheel of China keeps turning
Five thousand years from now.
Li Tiezhu only used two lines of lyrics for the Tartar Qing, much less than the Three Kingdoms, because it did not deserve it.
And after writing about the Tartar Qing was raised ashes, Li Tiezhu used a long paragraph, more than any other dynasty, which …… is of course from the position of strength to write lyrics.
The song is over, the scene is still quiet.
Straight to the accompaniment sound gradually pointedly weakened, the applause and cheers of the scene only resounded, unusually warm.
The singers in the background stood up and applauded as a sign of respect.
“Wonderfully written!”
“Li Tiezhu will always be a god.”
“He’ll definitely advance.”
“What are you thinking? How can Brother Serious be eliminated?”
“He’s now the ceiling of domestic compositions.”
“It’s horrible.”
The pop-ups on the live broadcast screen were of course still active, all of them were words of praise, not just for the song, but more for the five thousand years of adoration.
The pop-up screen of the foreign programme, that translation elder brother was even more dedicated to the continuous output:
“Indulge in the years of Kang Qian, the world has turned upside down and changed. The West broke out in the Industrial Revolution during this time, technologically surpassed the West, opened the Chinese humiliation of a hundred years of history. As an aside, many historians in the West do not recognise the Kangxi-Qianlong period as a period of Chinese prosperity, it was far worse than other Chinese eras of prosperity, with confined thinking, constant uprisings, closed-door policy, contempt for technology and so on. Had it not been for the influx of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn from the West that fed more people, they would have been another short-lived Mongol empire.”
“Turning the rugged into a flat river, after tens of thousands of miles of hardship, speaking of the 25,000 mile long march, the greatest expedition in human history, bar none ……”
“If you are interested in Chinese civilisation, then this song is the best brief history book.”
“In conclusion: I am a Chinese fan, you can disagree with me, but it does exist. Five thousand years ago they fought against the Great Flood as did the ancient Egyptians, four thousand years ago they smelted fine-coal bronzes as did the ancient Babylonians, three thousand years ago they contemplated philosophy as did the ancient Greeks, two thousand years ago they went around on conquests as did the Romans, a thousand years ago they were immensely rich as were the Arabs, and now they’re going head-to-head with the Millikens. The wheel of their civilisation has never stopped turning, and it seems to be a civilisation that is always at the top! In the Chinese language it is …… your grandpa or your grandpa.”
