Even I can't write this song!
With the performance by the National Music Band, the second half quickly arrived:
...
"The plantain outside the curtain invited the sudden rain, the door knocker invited the verdigris"
"And I passed through that Jiangnan small town and invited you"
"In the splash-ink landscape painting"
"You were hidden from the depths of the ink color"
The ancients hung curtains at door and window openings and along corridors, and planted plantains in courtyards, hence the saying "plantain outside the curtain."
Nan Ye continued to sing while painting. Beside the railing where the lady leaned, he painted a plantain tree half-hidden by a rock garden.
At the end of the corridor was a door, and on the door was a rusty door knocker.
Was the rain decided by the plantain?
Was the rust decided by the door knocker?
Did I pass through the Jiangnan small town to meet you?
Of course not. These two lyrics are unreasonable, yet "unreasonable and wonderful."
The wonder lies in this word "invited."
It wasn't the plantain inviting the sudden rain, nor the door knocker inviting the verdigris, nor me "inviting you"; everything happened naturally.
Even without music critics explaining these two lines, everyone could still hear the profound meaning contained within them.
It was truly ineffable.
"The sky-blue color waits for the misty rain, and I am waiting for you"
"The moonlight was scooped up, blurring the ending"
...
The song slowly concluded under the exquisite performance of the National Music Band.
And Nan Ye's painting of a lady holding a vase was also nearly complete after adding close-up details.
The plantain swayed slightly, as if blown by the evening breeze. The beauty wore light gauze depicting ink mountains and clear waters, gracefully unfolding. Her entire demeanor appeared dignified, elegant, and poised.
The blue and white porcelain vase held in her arms, with a touch of purple and green inserted, appeared even more noble and elegant.
But it always felt like something was missing?
Suddenly, Nan Ye wrote a line of poetry on the painting:
"Where the sky clears after rain and clouds break, this color will be made for the future."
This was mastery of calligraphy exchanged from the system; his characters floated like drifting clouds and were vigorous like startled dragons.
It strongly felt like Wang Xizhi was reborn!
The painting was finally complete!
At this moment, the camera gave the painting a five-second close-up.
When the accompaniment completely finished, the video returned to Nan Ye's hand.
The hand holding the calligraphy brush slowly lowered, and the camera gradually darkened along with it.
Until the end, the entire live stream went black.
For a full minute.
And during this minute, no one actually left a comment.
The entire live stream was completely clean, making it feel very unreal.
Many people who entered later found it very strange. Although there was nothing, why were there 25 million people in the live stream?
Truly bizarre!
It wasn't truly bizarre, but rather that the audience was still immersed in the song, the painting, and the continuous imagination.
...
It wasn't until a minute later, when Nan Ye and the National Music Band reappeared in the live stream, that everyone finally came back to their senses.
[Mom asked why I was staring blankly at my black-screened phone. I really wanted to say, the black screen wasn't decided by me, it invited me!]
[Hahahaha, the person upstairs learns really fast. Although the song is over, during that minute just now, I felt like I returned to the moment when sky-blue porcelain was fired in ancient times.]
[I'm different from you. I felt like I entered the painting of the lady holding a vase that Nan Ye painted. That scene was too beautiful!]
[Although I don't know if that minute was accidental or intentional. But what I want to say is, this minute allowed my thoughts to be empty, to imagine infinitely. It was so comfortable!]
[So Nan Ye's calligraphy is also so beautiful. He's truly showing off a lot...]
[...]
That's right, this one-minute long screen was indeed intentional.
It was an idea proposed by these professional cinematographers, and Nan Ye ultimately adopted it.
It is actually similar to the 64-second static screen in "Neon Genesis Evangelion."
It has the same effect through different means!
It's about leaving you more room for imagination...
Just when everyone still wanted to say something, Yu Guizhou suddenly spoke.
"The song is good, the lyrics are good, and the painting is good too!"
"The song is like a painting, and the painting is like a song!"
"From the arrangement, lyrics, to the vocal style, it's as if naturally formed, a complete whole."
"It is definitely one of the peaks of current Chinese style songs!"
"It's also the best one I've heard in nearly twenty years, worthy of being a classic!"
...
Yu Guizhou hadn't been this excited in a long time.
Honestly, the songs in recent years have been hard to listen to.
However, today's qing hua ci made him overjoyed.
This is what a good song should be like!
So he didn't hold back his praise and said everything he could think of.
Little did he know how impactful his words were to the audience!
[If I hadn't heard this song and watched this live stream, I would really have thought Yu Dad's account was fake, that it was a marketing account.]
[One of the peaks of Chinese style songs, oh my god, Yu Dad means that this song is hard to surpass!]
[No, no, no, it's more than that. The arrangement and lyrics are hard to surpass, and even that stage and that painting are hard to surpass.]
[That's right, this is definitely a performance unprecedented and unrepeatable. It's just a shame I can only watch through the screen instead of live. I'm sure it would be even more amazing if I were there!]
[My opinion is the same as Yu Dad's. This song is truly a masterpiece of the last twenty years!]
[This is definitely the song Yu Dad has recognized the most in recent years. If Yu Dad says this song can enter the classic version, then it definitely can!]
[...]
It was only after the National Music Band's reminder that Nan Ye knew who Yu Guizhou was, and he quickly expressed his thanks:
"Thank you for your recognition, Yu Dad. You're exaggerating too much!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Guizhou said something even more explosive.
"Actually, I've been looking for an apprentice recently, and you are one of my choices. This is also why I came here today."
"If this song was also outstanding, I would have proposed my idea."
"But after listening to this song, I was wrong!"
"I found that I can't teach you much anymore."
"Because this song, even I... couldn't write it!"
Yu Guizhou's words were truly like a spring breeze, stirring up a thousand layers of waves.
A song that made even a Song Queen feel inferior.
Then it can't be described as exaggerated or outrageous.
But terrifying!
Great terror!
[My god, what did I just hear? Yu Dad actually said he couldn't write this song?]
[Does this mean that this qing hua ci has already reached the level of a Top Producer, this...]
[I always thought Xiao Ge was still far from being a Top Producer. I didn't expect him to already start sprinting towards it!]
It wasn't just that he didn't expect it, but everyone didn't expect it.
Ran Yunfei of Xingxing Entertainment sat in his chair, stunned.
What does it mean for this song to be even more amazing than Yu Guizhou's?
This isn't human, okay!
Is he a pervert who popped out of a rock!
A thought quietly emerged in his mind...
