This star just wants to learn.

"Guanju" is a love poem. He cannot get the woman he wants, so he thinks about her day and night, tossing and turning. This describes his lovesickness. He uses all kinds of means to attract women, such as making friends with zithers and playing bells and drums. This is completely the social custom of the primitive times.

It can be seen that Pu Tong had a deep understanding of ancient life norms, social order, and cultural customs.”

Obviously, this poem was used as lyrics, but the first people to discuss it were not music practitioners.

Pu Tong's poem "Guanju" successfully blew up people in the academic circle. As for those in the music circle, they wanted to study it, but they couldn't understand the lyrics at all, let alone appreciate it.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty. Such a professional word needs to be appreciated by more professional cultural people...

"As a man, you should be honest and gentle, and be a gentleman. As a woman, you should be demure and dignified, and be a lady. Therefore, a gentleman will always be looking for a beautiful lady.
The combination of "gentleman" and "lady" here represents an ideal marriage. The poem "Guanju" reflects the society's emphasis on marriage and husband-wife relationships, as well as its moral requirements.

Many netizens didn’t quite understand the professional analysis of the songs by many great cultural figures, but they did understand that Pu Tong was absolutely awesome for being able to write such lyrics.

Let him take on musical challenges, he writes poetry, right?

And judging from Pu Tong's usual performance, this move was not a show of skill or pretense, but he just had too many trump cards in his hand, so he just launched a series of bombs.

Using poetry as lyrics is one victory; using calligraphy as manuscript is two victory; having a big shot seal it is three victory; going abroad is a complete victory...

It is not only Chinese people who are paying attention to Pu Tong's music challenge. After all, this is a rare music exchange event between China and the United States, and international friends are also eagerly waiting.

When Pu Tong took out this ancient poem as the challenge song, the outcome of the competition was no longer important. After all, the purpose of cultural export had been achieved and the competition was just a formality.

Besides, with such a hard song, could he really lose?

The lyrics are one thing, and the melody of "Guanju" is also excellent. As an ancient folk song, its melody structure, rhythm and emotional changes are all excellent. At the same time, the handling of the high-pitched part is quite good. The clever combination of the two can enhance the singer's emotional handling of the song during the singing process.

The singing of ancient folk songs focuses on the expression of emotions, accurate pronunciation and unified voice. Song Ying's singing perfectly met Pu Tong's expectations and was even better than expected.

I can only say that she is worthy of being a member of the national team. Her performance of the high notes was quite gorgeous, even surpassing her previous peak.

Song Ying broke through herself during the extended process of "Guanju", and her high-pitched vocal range successfully reached the world-class level. At this time, she was definitely qualified to compete with Feili.

This was also within Pu Tong's expectations.

The reason why he chose this song was not only for the purpose of cultural promotion, but also for some targeted reasons.

Queen Song's strength reached a bottleneck many years ago. If she wants to fight with Feili, further progress is inevitable.

Her voice is good enough, but the reason why she cannot make a breakthrough is that she lacks the ability to handle emotions. It is difficult to sing a high-pitched piece with just technique to express the emotion.

The melody of this song sounds simple, but in the eyes of those who know it, it is full of ingenuity.

When Song Ying first received this song, she was shocked. In her eyes, Pu Tong did not know how to sing high notes. Although his creative talent was top-notch, people who did not know how to sing high notes would easily fall into the misunderstanding of just singing high notes for the sake of singing high notes. Such songs would not be easy to sing. But Pu Tong's song was very different. It had high notes, and the high notes were embedded very harmoniously. The process of raising the pitch was logical.

The lingering style of "Guanju" can be seen everywhere. After the small turn at the beginning, the song uses two octaves to truly describe the protagonist's inner turmoil and hesitation at the time, and then eases the mood of this part through the transition between the high and low notes of the melody, slowly bringing people into a quiet situation.

The melody is then continued freely using two bars of tremolo. The tremolo here is very clever. It not only gives the singer time to build up his emotions, but also serves as a good stage for accumulating energy before the high notes.

She can easily keep the eighth rest between "窈窕" and "淑女" without stopping, expressing and emphasizing that the gentlemen at that time admired the ladies with these two characteristics. The octave of "好" in "君子好逑" in the second half of the sentence requires good vocal channel control and volume control to complete, but this is not a problem for Song Ying.

Then we enter the really intense part of the whole song, which is also the part with the highest range of the whole song.

The protagonist's emotion at this point in the song is no longer about being unable to sleep and missing someone. This is the key part of the entire song. The entire direction of the melody also begins to clearly enter the high-pitched area that is easy to express emotions. At this time, Song Ying can show off his gorgeous timbre as much as possible, thereby fully expressing his inner warmth and excitement.

It was precisely because of the previous emotional preparation and the accumulation of vibrato that her high notes were so smooth and consistent, like a tide bursting out of a dam, easily breaking through the bottleneck that had troubled her before.

It was not until she finished singing this song that Song Ying realized that it was not that she was incapable, but that she had never met a mentor. Pu Tong was this mentor. He not only saw her abilities and difficulties, but could even come up with corresponding works in a targeted manner.

Being able to produce good works is a reflection of Pu Tong's creative ability, but being able to produce songs that perfectly match the singer is a reflection of his musical realm.

At the same time, listeners from all over the world clicked on the song "Guanju". In addition to their amazement and curiosity about the Chinese poetry culture contained in it, the song's subtle and beautiful high notes also amazed everyone.

This song has a lot of charm from ancient music, combined with the intonation of related operas. This high pitch is different from the hysteria popular internationally and successfully gives foreign audiences a refreshing feeling.

At this point, Pu Tong’s goal of “cultural going abroad” has been achieved, and the next thing to consider is the outcome of the music challenge.

He clicked on the work of Philly Dell Catlin and subconsciously turned down the volume a bit. After all, the high notes of this artist were a little too overbearing.

This song has a strong sense of rhythm and the creation of high notes is more mature. The first high note successfully made Pu Tong drop his jaw.

What surprised him even more was that after the high note, there was another high note, even one degree higher than the previous one. The increase of the high notes again and again was like a shout, which made the listeners' souls tremble.

I thought it would end there, but the drum beats that continued after the second high note meant that this song was not simple.

The third high note was ready to be released. Feili used three consecutive high notes to tell everyone that she was the only queen in the field of high notes.

Pu Tong swallowed subconsciously. This opponent was a little too tricky.

Good news, I've become stronger, bad news, so have my enemies.
