"I'm going to let go, keep quiet."

Liang Siyan gave a warning and clicked on the page of lyrics.

Most of the lyrics of the songs released by Lu Wantang are worth pondering, not to mention that this ancient style song will also incorporate "opera" elements. Everyone will definitely need to see the lyrics later.

As soon as he finished speaking, the play button was released and the melodious sound of the zither reached everyone's ears.

The melody of the prelude is like a trickle of water, beautiful and gentle.

Later, the sound of erhu joined in, and the melody became magnificent, as if it was about to tell a dramatic story.

It was the first time for them to listen to Lu Wantang sing.

Therefore, when the prelude was about to end, everyone sat up straight, afraid of missing a word.

And Lu Wantang did not disappoint them.

'When the Swallows Leave/Red Beans on the Southern Branch'

'Don't ask when you will return from a distant place'

Lu Wantang's voice was originally very pleasant.

The song he sang at this time sounded as good as expected.

'Who guards the clear waters of Xiaoxiang alone'

'I don't know what night it is'

Just by looking at the first few lines of the lyrics, you can see the difference between the lyrics of so-called ancient style songs and those of other popular songs.

To use an inappropriate adjective, it is actually a bit "literary".

'When the swallows return, there is no trace of the beloved'

''Should be intentional/this departure'

'I don't want to have a long-lasting love

'Traveling far and wide/Thousands of miles'

Between a few lines of lyrics, Lu Wantang also thoughtfully noted the poems used in the lyrics.

For example, Yan Shu's "Mulanhua": After the swallows and wild geese have passed by, the orioles return, and I count the myriad threads of life.

Wang Wei's "Lovesickness": Red beans grow in the south, and in spring they sprout a few branches. I wish you would pick more, for this is the most nostalgic thing.

There is also Meng Jiao's "Xiang Fei Yuan": The beautiful eyebrows are lost thousands of miles away, the water of Xiaoxiang is blue and the sky is empty.

Like the other world, most of Blue Star's traditional poetry has been preserved.

However, those poems, like traditional musical instruments, are not given enough attention. No one would have thought that many poems of the ancients might be similar to lyrics and could be sung, so no one has ever thought of composing music for the poems.

As for incorporating poetry into lyrics like this, even fewer people would do it.

'He splashed ink and wrote'

'She dances with her sleeves in a dream'

The lyrics of this song, the first part obviously describes a girl waiting for her lover to return, but the swallows have already flown back south and her lover is nowhere to be seen, so the girl travels thousands of miles to look for him.

The last two sentences describe the activities of the two people in different situations.

'He' is splashing ink and writing calligraphy or painting.

And 'she' is hiding her expectation of reuniting with her lover in her dance.

'Love in the play, love in the play'

'Strangers Meet'

The previous scene was so beautiful that it even made people full of expectations.

But when the two really met again, the beautiful fantasy was shattered piece by piece.

At this moment, Lu Wantang's singing became much louder and higher.

'In the Flowery Land'

It is the singing style of Huadan in Peking Opera.

This kind of sound is definitely not the result of singing with a suppressed throat.

Bai Lian and others were even more amazed after hearing this.

'She sang about meeting an old friend in a foreign land'

'Every step and every sentence is about lovesickness'

'The people in the audience are on the list of winners'

'I never recognized old acquaintances on stage'

Every step and word spoken by the person on the stage revealed their longing for each other, but the people below the stage were so successful that they didn't even recognize each other.

'When he talked about the wedding night'

'Everyone congratulates the beautiful woman and the talented man'

'I haven't heard a word of sighing in the play, but there is a love-crazy man'

The four great joys of the ancients were rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and getting one's name on the imperial examination.

In just a few sentences, he described the last three happy events.

But the actor was not happy to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign land.

Just a few lines of lyrics seem to bring people into the scene of the story.

The infatuated man is still singing on the stage about the sweet past, perhaps it is also a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman.

However, the unfaithful man was in the audience saying that he was about to marry someone new and accepting congratulations and blessings from the people around him.

Such a scene is ironic.

The more I listened to the interlude of the zither, the sadder it sounded.

'When the swallows leave, the branches are full of red beans'

……

'Strangers Meet'

Countless people are listening to this song.

The lyrics are not difficult to understand.

When people are amazed at the fusion of opera and pop music, they can't help but imagine the whole story.

On the stage, actors are singing operas about talented men and beautiful women. Halfway through the song, they may not be able to help but lament and then shed tears.

When people in the audience see this scene, they will only think that the actress is too immersed in the role, but they don’t know that she is singing about herself.

'She sang/Meeting an old friend in a foreign land'

……

……

'I haven't heard a word of sighing in the play, but there is a love-crazy man'

When we meet strangers, it seems like we have known each other before.

It was another piece of opera tune, and the listeners were left wanting more.

Less than half an hour after the song was released, nearly 100,000 people left comments in the comment section.

[Is this the singing voice of opera? No one told me that opera could be so beautiful before!!]

[Love it, love it, worthy of being Lu Wantang, worthy of being the composer of Tangxing Entertainment, always able to come up with something new]

[I understand. The first thing I will do when I get ashore is to kill the person I love. You are not lying to me.]

[Although the lyrics are made up of many poems, they don’t feel like a pile of words at all. The whole story is clear and very touching]

[Is this ancient style? Please send me more songs like this, thank you]

[Will the competition not require other teams to write songs like this? Is three days really enough?]

[My grandma likes to listen to opera. I now understand her aesthetic a little bit, but the opera style is still very different]

[Most unfaithful people are scholars. This story is really too hard to accept. It is very painful to listen to, but the song is also very nice. Sigh]

[Did no one notice that the singer was Lu Wantang himself?!]

[I suggest the composer to debut directly! She can write and sing, and has a face like that. It would be a shame if she didn’t debut, Ms. Lu Wantang!]

[I hope there will be another teaching video to teach us how to sing in opera style. I want to learn this song]

……

It is impossible for the comment section to be 100% positive. There are some that may be unpleasant, but they are quickly drowned out by other positive comments.

After this song was released, it was just ordinary listeners who left comments below at first.

Afterwards, many certified singers also left comments, and all of them said that they were amazed.

The comments about the opera singing teaching video were pushed to the top of the comment section.

Lu Wantang replied, "I will record a video when I have time." He also reminded everyone that ancient style songs do not necessarily have to have opera singing styles. The songs that Zigui released before also fall into the category of ancient style songs.

Her reminder made many contestants who were watching the song's comment section feel relieved.

To those who don't understand opera singing, "Tan Chuang" is simply an "advanced version" of ancient style songs.

However, having this song and several other songs by Zigui that were previously classified as ancient style songs as "examples" is enough.

At least Shengnian made a summary himself, and when Lu Wantang helped to look at it, he didn't find anything wrong with the points in his summary.

["Exploring the Window" lyrics: Dongfang Qianyue; music: Guo Fenglin; singing: Guofeng Xinyu, Fushengmeng and Xiyinshe]
