Chapter 303: Various Reactions After the Great Fire of Divine Comedy

The situation was very obvious. The original song that Gu Xiao had carefully prepared and thought could make a comeback and let the audience feel the passion, shock, and style of rock music did not touch the audience at all...

Even the audience's reaction was not as good as the previous song "The Only One" sung by Jiang Yuan. Although this song was also performed by the band, its style was indeed not rock. Gu Xiao also thought that it was not exciting enough. In short, in his mind, songs of this style could never compare to real rock music.

After the scene fell silent, when the "Meet" band left the stage, there was sparse applause from the audience, but more students were actually complaining -

"The performance just now was so noisy. I don't know what the guitarist was yelling into the microphone. I'm speechless."

"After all this time, how come Yuan Shen is not the lead singer in the second song? Why is she arranged to be the supporting harmony?"

"The screaming and roaring parts of the instruments are too harsh. When I heard the lyrics like 'holding a pen, wanting to write something, thinking it's a weapon, able to speak for justice', why did they yell the word 'justice' so loudly? It really made me feel dumb..."

"The second song has no prelude at all. It just starts with yelling. What on earth is he venting about? The lyrics are also confusing. It feels so literary and self-congratulatory!"

"Forcing rock music and trying to show off your high standards is like this. It's better to let the fate god sing sweet songs..."

"This kind of campus party stage is not suitable for singing original songs. It doesn't make people feel involved at all!"

……

The audience's reaction was very real. Originally, pure rock music is relatively niche. When everyone was listening, they found that the lead singer of the second song was not Jiang Yuan. She was more responsible for the harmony. This was such a bummer!

Jiang Yuan sang the last low-pitched part, and her voice was still ethereal and full of emotion, but the problem was that some audiences felt that the first part was too noisy and too agitated, and they could not appreciate it at all.

This kind of song is actually quite suitable for being performed at a music festival, with the audience all standing and dancing along to the rock music. But now the audience is sitting in their seats, and they really can't appreciate the rock music that Gu Xiao promotes.

All we can say is that there was indeed a big problem with Gu Xiao's song selection, but he did pay more attention to the band's self-expression. He thought that such "self-entertainment" could resonate with more people, let everyone feel the passion of rock and roll, and even convey his rebellious spirit. However, the result was not satisfactory.

Of course, there were also a small number of audiences who quite appreciated their performance, especially the second song, which felt very passionate, bold and unique, and they made the original rock music look quite realistic.

Jiang Hengyu thought that the song "But" was quite interesting, especially after knowing that the lyrics were written by Wen Shun. He thought that the lyrics were full of personal feelings and were clearly written for a deceased girl, perhaps the girl in that world.

Unfortunately, songs of this style are destined to be niche, but those who like them or are in tune with them will love them very much and will savor them endlessly.

Jiang Hengyu filmed the entire "Meet" band's first stage performance. Regardless of the audience's reaction, he personally appreciated their performance very much.

Jiang Yuan's performance can still be said to be impeccable. She completed the tasks assigned to her by the team perfectly without forcing herself to be in the spotlight.

But the facts have proved that if the band does not let her be the main C, then its upper limit will really be low, and it will also be a complete waste of her singing skills and talents.

When Gu Xiao arrived backstage, he immediately apologized to all the band members in frustration. He felt that he had to take the blame. He had clearly tried to make the band a hit on this stage, but in the end, his stubborn choice of songs led to a Waterloo.

Naturally, the other band members comforted him, and Jiang Yuan also said that it was not a big problem. Personally, she quite liked the performance of the song "But".

This song is in another world, from the band "Caodong No Party". Jiang Yuan likes their style very much. She likes songs like "Mountains and Seas", "Mud", "Vat", "Big Wind Blows" etc. Anyway, once you like their songs, you will be very addicted to them.

When Gu Xiao heard that even Jiang Yuan still recognized him and didn't mind being arranged to sing harmony, he felt touched. This young lady was so gentle and considerate!
It's obvious that she is an incredibly talented singer, but she doesn't compete with others in the band and behaves very well as a team player. He is so lucky to be able to form a band with such a girl!

……

The New Year’s Eve party on campus of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School came to a successful conclusion.

The most impressive program of the entire evening was undoubtedly "Night of Confession" performed by Jiang Yuan and Jiang Hengyu.

As for the "Meet" band's debut performance, it unfortunately became a footnote to this glory.

A few days later, videos of various programs at the No. 1 Middle School New Year’s Eve Gala were uploaded to Bilibili.

Among them, the program "Confession Night" was also posted on the official Weibo of Jiangzhou No. 1 High School. As a nationally renowned top high school, it certainly has a Weibo account, and it releases similar videos every year as promotional materials.

However, what is more embarrassing is that the incident that caused a sensation across the country at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School was the "snowball fight in the cafeteria" incident. The public opinion at the time was very strong and the school's image was affected.

This time, Principal Kong Weiguo feels that the opportunity to wash away previous stains has come. This video can truly showcase the "highest quality" of No. 1 Middle School. As the saying goes, the strange cry of an owl can never cover up the clear voice of a phoenix!

Therefore, the official Weibo account of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School not only released the video that had undergone post-production to become more sophisticated and clearer, but also bought traffic promotion to directly push it to the hot search list!
The Weibo post directly praised Jiang Yuan, a talented woman, saying that her performance conquered everyone, and pointed out that "Night of Confession" was also an original violin piece by Jiang Yuan, which was a very pleasant song.

The school official who posted on Weibo directly defined this song as a "confession song" that Jiang Yuan wrote specifically for her alma mater, Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. It was her New Year's gift to her alma mater. Of course, there were instructions from Kong Weiguo behind this. He knows too well how to take credit and how to take advantage of others.

In fact, the "confession" in "Confession Night" does not mean "confession", but "tell" or "tell".

However, every audience will have a different understanding. Once a work of art is created, its creator cannot dictate how others interpret it, such as "Oda is just a manga artist, what does he know about One Piece?"

Some people understood it this way after listening to this song:

The "prelude" before 1 minute and 40 seconds depicts the girl's confession of her long-time crush, and her shyness is hard to conceal in her joy and excitement, and she is a little nervous in her anticipation. The climax after 1 minute and 40 seconds, the girl puts the crystal-like dream in her arms, and finally musters up the courage to run towards the boy, but trips over a stone when she is about to reach the end, and the dream mirror in her arms shatters to the ground. She bends down to pick it up, and repeatedly pieces it together with tears, and when she looks up, they are no longer themselves.

Three minutes and ten seconds, when love has become a thing of the past, all affection is given with a faint smile.

Four minutes and fifteen seconds, loving each other without disturbing each other, and the years are peaceful.

This kind of understanding is a classic imagination. No matter what kind of music you listen to, a love story will emerge in your mind.

After Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School spent money on promotion, the performance video naturally became popular, and the song "Night of Confession" spread quickly!
Originally, this violin piece was a widely circulated "Internet celebrity BGM" or "divine song" in the original world. It was very popular on Bilibili and Douyin, and countless people played it with other instruments. Many people have heard its melody, but they may not know its name.

A layman who doesn't know much about violin instantly felt that Jiang Yuan, who could create such beautiful and easily popular music, was simply a super talented woman, full of cool!
While this video was on the hot search list on Weibo, it also went viral on Bilibili, mainly because its appearance effectively hit back at those haters who had previously criticized Jiang Yuan for only being able to cover sweet songs!
Those haters who questioned Miss Jiang Yuan’s identity were also dumbfounded. In the video, Yuan Shen, wearing an elegant dress and playing the violin, had the temperament of a young lady!
The comments below the video are full of praise:

“It’s a very visual piece of pure music, very moving!”

"I don't know why, but when I heard this song, I couldn't stop my tears from flowing."

"When I hear it, I get an indescribable feeling in my heart. It can't be described in words. It touches people's hearts. I feel it is a great piece of pure music."

"A person who is almost thirty, after listening to the whole thing, cried like a child, like water flowing through the bottom of my heart, rolling up slightly turbid memories, the rough palms beside my face, the back that supports the world, the cheeks that have lost their color..."

"I can only listen to the music attentively when I watch the video for the third time, because in the first two times, I was completely mesmerized by the beauty!"

……

Those fans who were attracted by Jiang Yuan’s “Sweet Song Special” before are now completely terrified. This slap in the face came too quickly. Let’s see which other haters dare to criticize her for being vulgar again!
However, fans still underestimated the fighting power of the haters. They couldn't find any points to criticize, but they could find other ways to do so.

Taking advantage of the popularity of "The Night of Confession", some haters deliberately went to Zhihu to ask questions, such as how to evaluate the violin piece "The Night of Confession" composed by a talented high school student?
Some Zhihu bigwigs who thought they knew the business immediately started their performances——

"For people who don't have much musical literacy, it's really nice to listen to. But as you gain more knowledge, you'll find it lacks depth. It's the same as when middle school students read Chinese science and engineering literature. When they become graduate students, they will treat Chinese literature like trash, but when they don't have the corresponding knowledge, they still think it's cool. This song "Confession Night" is just like that."

"First, if a violin major spends a lot of time playing and studying "The Night of Confession", he will probably be beaten to death by his professional teacher. Secondly, this song "The Night of Confession" is nice to listen to. But in front of classical music, it is like the popular popular novels and martial arts comics in front of serious literature and classical literature. Apart from being 'cool', most of them are not worth studying in depth."

“I came here uninvited, and my main goal is to be a reasonable person.

As an ordinary violin lover, this song does not impress me. The structure of the song is too simple and the melody is not very catchy.

The only thing I think is good is the very quiet classical pentatonic music at the beginning and end (2535 1656) similar to the dulcimer in the arrangement. It is very quiet, and you can imagine the bamboo forest swaying in the breeze. From the calm beginning to the gradual outpouring of emotions, becoming passionate and sincere, and then returning to tranquility at the end, this is a very seriously made piece of music, and you can hear all of this.

But I think the bad part is the melody, which is a bit monotonous. Either the arrangement is too simple, or there is not much room for the melody to develop.

If it were me, I think the climax in the middle part might be better as polyphonic music. And maybe the expression in the first paragraph is not detailed enough. It would be better if the vibrato of some long notes could be louder, like the feeling of Paon.

Summary: This is a song that was made very seriously, but the emotional expression is a little lacking. Considering that it was composed by a high school student, I can only say that it is quite suitable for the other party's age. "

"After listening to it, you feel it's over? Really. It's just so-so. I don't understand why it's so popular, and I also don't understand why someone can analyze it so clearly. Well, you must be very good at Chinese reading comprehension. I rarely listen to instrumental music, and my favorites are xxx and xxxx. These two are really good. After listening to xxx, I felt like smacking my lips. It was so memorable. I felt that it was too short. It would be better if it was longer, and I want to listen to it again and again.

But why is "Confession Night" so popular? Can anyone tell me?
I'm not saying it's negative, I just think the confession night was too bland, so bland that the emotions were too deliberate, like an act. It was just sad for the sake of being sad. There was no real emotion mixed in.

Ordinary listeners, passers-by, if you are unhappy with what you see, just criticize me. "

"This violin piece is really low-level and too vulgar. I feel like it's a waste of time to listen to such a piece. I think it became popular purely because of the gimmick. After all, the person who created it is a beautiful girl, haha."

"If you want to play this piece, you might as well go and watch Jiang Yuan perform in a band. That's much more impressive. Ordinary people really don't have any musical taste at all!"

After the Zhihu bigwigs gave this answer, the haters immediately felt relieved and started to repost the post everywhere.

However, what no one expected was that some big names in the performing arts community directly expressed their admiration for Jiang Yuan, believing that she had made huge contributions to the promotion of violin music and hoped that she could continue to work hard.

The fans then gained the upper hand again, and they used the praise from these real big shots to slap the faces of those "Zhihu big shots", saying that they were just being sour and jealous.

Since "The Night of Confession" is so cliché, why can't you create one?

So the Zhihu boss who was slapped in the face brought out the classic theory of customers and chefs. Does it mean that for a customer to comment on whether a dish is delicious, he must also be able to cook?

We have not denied Jiang Yuan's talent, and we admit that the song "Night of Confession" is nice, but from a professional point of view, it is really just that!
Besides, Jiang Yuan is just a high school student with no background. It is understandable that he cannot create high-quality classical music...

In the end, such arguments often end up in nothing, because the more popular something is, the more those who claim to be high-class will look down on it.

If "The Night of Confessions" was only popular in a small circle, it probably wouldn't be looked down upon by some guys who claim to be high-class. But it became so popular beyond the circle, so it has "original sin", and these guys naturally dislike it.

In any case, Jiang Yuan did become famous thanks to this magical song, and those who had previously questioned her status as a young lady were also slapped in the face!

As her popularity increased rapidly, someone finally revealed that she was indeed not Jiang Xiyan's biological sister, but she was undoubtedly the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and her father was Jiang Zhihao!
