It's actually kind of exciting...?
She glanced at Mo Li beside her, her slightly flushed cheeks carrying a hint of resentment.
However, to her relief, Mo Li seemed completely absorbed in her work at that moment.
While adjusting the equipment, he explained some key points of singing "The Goddess Splits the Temple" to Yun Jin.
After overhearing their conversation, the other girls also began to feel curious and expectant.
The songs to be added to the storyline seem to be of the opera genre?
As traditional Chinese opera is something that Jingliu and the others naturally know about, Jingliu and the others are familiar with it.
However, like the general public in China, they had only heard of it but knew nothing about it.
My only understanding is that I can't understand it and can't listen to it at all.
If it were really added to the game... would anyone actually like it?
Immediately, a strong sense of curiosity was mixed with a hint of anticipation, hoping that Mo Li could bring them another different kind of surprise this time.
Professor Han also looked at his daughter in the recording studio with anticipation:
"It's finally starting! I've been looking forward to this moment for so long!"
Meanwhile, Yun Jin was also ready in the recording studio.
"Boss, I'm ready!"
After saying that, she took a deep breath before turning on the microphone.
Mo Li cooperated and played the pre-prepared accompaniment.
The next moment, a percussion ensemble began, consisting of instruments such as the clapper, guzheng, drum, and cymbals.
Following closely behind was Yun Jin's beautiful singing voice.
……
"How lamentable—"
"A lone goose in autumn is hard to find again."
"A fool is obsessed with resentment, hatred, and madness."
……
The moment the gongs and drums sounded, not only Jingliu and Kafka, but even Professor Han shrank back, somewhat overwhelmed.
To Professor Han, the opening accompaniment of the song alone gave her a feeling of being both strange and familiar.
The gentle percussion did indeed have the feel of the opening of a Peking Opera, but at the same time it was quite different from Peking Opera.
Because the opening of Peking Opera is composed of instruments such as the single-headed drum, clappers, large gong, small gong, cymbals, etc.
As the saying goes, a performance is only half the show.
The drummer, who leads the percussion, is essentially the conductor of the entire play.
This demonstrates the importance of percussion in Peking Opera.
What she didn't expect was that the opening of the song imitated one of the most important parts of Peking Opera!
But because the instruments were different, it was probably because of this that she felt a sense of both unfamiliarity and familiarity.
This change, coupled with Yun Jin's extremely skillful blend of soft sighs, perfectly showcased the beauty of the Beijing dialect.
That's why she felt an unparalleled sense of amazement when she first heard it.
I just felt goosebumps all over my body.
And after the song begins—
The low-frequency percussion, combined with the high-frequency Beijing-style singing, creates a broad and ethereal feeling, instantly transporting the listener to a scene where a past scroll is slowly unfolding.
Even though there were no images at the moment, the images automatically appeared in her mind.
……
"It is only because that evil animal sacrifice will surely bring disaster~"
"If it weren't for the heroine drawing her sword, everyone would have perished."
……
When Yun Jin sang these two lines, various musical instruments began to play in succession.
A distinct sense of tempo and rhythm emerged.
The musical style also gradually shifted from the initial melancholy to a heavier, more intense, and dangerously fast-paced rhythm.
And the lyrics, starting from this line, officially shift into a narrative.
……
"Mortal bonds are hazy, but immortal bonds are boundless~"
"The joys of family life have faded, and the invitation to the Crimson Mansion has been extended."
870 "The Crimson Silk Binds the Woodcutter Whose Wood Has Rotten Axe Handle"
"Traces of wild geese on snowy mud are distant~"
……
At this moment, everyone present, except for Mo Li, was dumbfounded.
A song... can be written like this?
Can traditional opera be sung like this?
If all operas were sung like this, wouldn't no one go to listen?
Of course, this is just the opinion of Kagami and Kafka, two laymen.
Professor Han thought to himself—singing it this way still sounds good.
Although it lost some of the original flavor of traditional opera, it did retain the unique characteristics of traditional opera.
It's more than enough for simply popularizing culture.
Thinking of this, Professor Han couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mo Li, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
This kid... is really amazing!
Leaving aside the music itself, she neither understood nor knew anything about this kind of ancient-style music that leaned towards pop.
But judging solely on the lyrics, they are absolutely brilliant.
Words convey meaning, and meaning resonates with emotion.
It not only tells a touching story in its entirety, but also contains many beautiful lines such as "High art may not be unknown, for there will always be kindred spirits and elegant words."
She had previously heard Mo Li say that this song needed to be listened to in conjunction with the game's storyline to achieve the desired emotional impact.
But now it seems that even just listening to it on its own, it's still an extremely excellent song.
All I can say is... impressive!
.......
Chapter 489 Fairy Girl: Dame~!
Even after Yun Jin's performance ended, Kafka and Jing Liu were still deeply moved.
Having lived this long, they must have heard of traditional opera.
Of course, I overheard those things by accident.
And those operas left them with the impression that—
A group of people were banging and beating drums and gongs behind them.
Two people were singing a story in front of them, their voices trembling.
The pace was slow and boring; they simply couldn't listen to it.
Besides, if there were no scripts displayed below the television, they wouldn't understand a word.
but now……
This piece, "The Goddess Splits the Temple," is also performed entirely in the style of traditional Chinese opera.
However, the feeling they experienced was quite different from that of traditional opera.
nice!
Fairy!
The exquisitely beautiful vocals, paired with the stunning accompaniment, are simply breathtaking.
It even gave them a sense of—
Should I go back and see a few plays, to relive that urge...?
