My singer girlfriend is super fierce

With the strong recommendation of his classmates, Liu Minkang also became interested.

"Okay, today I will use this song "Childhood" as an example to tell you about the appreciation of the lyrics."

As he spoke, Liu Minkang searched for the song name on the teaching computer, and the result showed a bunch of songs named "Childhood", but none of them was sung by Ye Zhiqiu.

"This song has not been officially released yet."

"I can't find it on the software!"

"Teacher Liu, I'll help you!"

The enthusiastic students actively went to the stage, and in a few seconds they searched for the video and played it on the projector.

Seeing the elementary school classroom environment where Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei were in the picture, Liu Minkang was slightly stunned, and a touch of relief flashed in the depths of his eyes.

As an educator, he has always been very concerned about and personally participated in the education of many backward areas.

In fact, music is a subject with relatively high learning costs, especially for poor families. But in Liu Minkang's concept, music should not be a "castle in the air" for children from poor families. Instead, it has the power to infect and inspire people, and can bring strength to people.

Turning his eyes back to the video, it was obviously shot with a mobile phone. The clarity was OK, but the sound quality was not good. Fortunately, some noises could be heard clearly.

The video started with Yu Caiwei singing. Gradually, the whole classroom fell into silence, with only Yu Caiwei's clear, ethereal, and gentle voice like a lullaby slowly floating.

Offstage, Liu Minkang looked slightly surprised and was quite happy.

He didn't expect that Yu Caiwei also sang a new song, and this song was also very good.

It should also be from Ye Zhiqiu. Liu Minkang thought that this song has a simple melody and is catchy. It is indeed very suitable for children. Later, it can be recommended to schools in various places as a children's song...

Soon, it was Ye Zhiqiu's turn to sing.

The light and carefree singing seemed to come slowly from the sunny afternoon with the cool breeze under the big banyan tree in the village.

[Time is money

The teacher said that time is worth more than money

Day after day, year after year

A confused childhood...]

After the song ended, the song seemed to still echo over the classroom. Many listeners looked thoughtful, and their thoughts had drifted far away.

The first round of applause broke the silence, and then, warm applause rang out.

Liu Minkang took a deep breath, stood on the podium again, and asked: "Which student recommended this song just now?"

A male student raised his hand in the audience.

Liu Minkang smiled and said, "The lyrics of this song are really good."

"Then what do you think is good about it?"

The male student thought for a moment and hesitated, "Because... it can move people?"

"I don't know why. The lyrics are not complicated, but I feel like I'm recalling my childhood."

"That's right." Liu Minkang gestured to the male student to sit down, and then said, "Good lyrics can resonate with the audience's emotions, which is also the best part of this song."

"The catchy melody, from the perspective of a child, is 'heartless' and happy. The lyrics and the sadness in the song are not there at all. But for those who are a little older, it makes people feel very touched, and miss the green time, the passing years and the ignorant childhood. "

"This is the charm of lyrics, and this is also a point I have always emphasized."

"When we create, we don't have to blindly pursue the accumulation of gorgeous words. First of all, don't do anything deliberately, but should try to express your inner thoughts in ordinary and popular language..."

Next, Liu Minkang took the lyrics of "Childhood" as an example and gave a vivid appreciation class.

At the end of the course, a student raised his hand and asked loudly, "Teacher!"

"Then if I use simple and easy-to-understand lyrics, can I write a song like Ye Zhiqiu?!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Liu Minkang smiled and said, "Yes, and no."

"Simple lyrics do not mean simple connotations and simple techniques. Because it is performed in the form of singing, the lyrics often pay attention to rhyme, rhythm and word matching. We will talk about these techniques in the professional courses later."

"At the same time, it is not easy to write simple lyrics with connotations, especially for people with little experience. It is difficult to do so. Experience comes from life, and its accumulation is not something that can be achieved overnight."

Looking at the students who listened attentively in the audience, Liu Minkang said: "So, I still have to remind you."

"Don't be too ambitious. If you read more, think more, and try more in your daily life, your level will naturally improve. There is no need to take the song "Childhood" as your goal right away."

"The lyrics of this song are a simplification of complexity and a culmination of all. "At this point, Liu Minkang sighed, "In fact, I personally think that this song is the best song in the entire Chinese music scene in the past two years. It is a classic that can be passed down forever. ”

Under the stage, all the students were extremely surprised. They didn’t expect Liu Minkang to give such a high evaluation of this song.

After all, to most people, this song is just a cheerful melody and the lyrics are quite appropriate.

At the same time, on the Internet, the popularity of "Childhood" has not decreased with the passage of time, but has soared all the way.

Although this song only has a "mobile phone recording" version with poor sound quality online, it does not affect its popularity at all. In just two days, it has rushed to the top three of the "hot song list" of major music platforms.

As a certain official media reported this news and released the video of Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei singing in the elementary school classroom, tens of millions of families heard the whole song through TV.

Then, "Childhood" directly topped the hot song list with an extremely rapid momentum.

And the protagonists of the incident, Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei, their leisurely vacation was inevitably affected by this incident.

Various Ye Zhiqiu refused countless interview invitations from the media on the grounds that he was filming a movie. His agent Song Mei also called him. Although she had a deep understanding of Ye Zhiqiu's ability to "make trouble", her tone was still very helpless.

You can sing, but at least inform the company in advance!

It's so passive to bring out a classic song without any announcement. The Internet has fermented, and the company only got the news. There was no publicity at the beginning, okay?

Generally speaking, such a classic song is a "king bomb"-level resource for singers. It must be carefully produced and promoted before being released, so as to maximize the benefits as much as possible.

If it is well operated, it is definitely not an exaggeration to make a living from a song for a lifetime. There are many singers with such examples.

However, now that "Childhood" has topped the charts, it is still a version recorded by a mobile phone with table slapping as an instrument accompaniment. Is this reasonable! ?

We are professionals. If our peers see it, they will probably laugh their heads off.
