Lin Xi's words caused an uproar.
Did China's music singing lead the world a few hundred years ago?
Why didn't he know?
Cai Kun had a look of disbelief as he mocked,""I have never heard of this before. Tell me, what kind of singing method is this?”
"Chinese opera!" Lin Xi said seriously.”
The scene was silent.
A moment later, some of the audience members who reacted first cheered.
Deng Rong secretly agreed in her heart.
Cai Kun's speech just now actually hid a trap. He first threw out the fact that modern Chinese music learned from the West, and then directly inferred that Chinese music was not as good as the West and had to learn from the West.
If Lin Xi followed his pace and argued, he would fall into his trap.
Lin Xi cleverly jumped out of this logical misunderstanding and directly used Chinese opera as an example to refute Cai Kun. As expected of a genius.
At this moment.
Cai Kun also knew that Lin Xi had discovered the loophole in his words, so he asked,"
"Then tell me, how is the Chinese opera singing leading?”
Lin Xi stood upright and said in an orderly manner,"
"Chinese opera is one of the three major operas in the world and has been passed down for many years. Chinese opera emphasized on using qi to vibrate sound, using sound to establish words, using words to guide sound, using sound to convey emotions, and using emotions to move people. There were many singing styles, such as solo, duet, chorus, and chorus.”
"In terms of singing style, be it control of breath, falsetto, pitch shifting, resonance, etc., Chinese opera has long been ahead of the West since ancient times.”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Lin Xi's words. Many of them were unfamiliar with opera, and they felt enlightened when they heard Lin Xi's words.
Su Zhilan looked at Lin Xi with admiration. Why couldn't he think of all this just now?
The glory of Chinese opera was known throughout the world. Cai Kun could not refute it and could only change his target.
"In ancient times, Chinese opera did have its own unique singing style and advancements. It also had its heyday, but it has been following the same routine for decades and has long fallen behind the times.”
"If you don't believe me, look at reality. There are so many young Chinese people who listen to opera these days. More of them listen to Western music than opera. Doesn't this mean that Western singing is superior to Chinese singing?”
After Cai Kun finished speaking, he even raised his head proudly.
After everyone heard this, some of them lowered their heads in shame. Many of them had indeed never heard of the quintessence of Chinese opera. It should be said that people were prejudiced against opera and felt that it was outdated. They felt that opera was something for the elderly and not suitable for the young.
One of the girls at the scene thought of how she was ridiculed by her classmates for being old-fashioned when she listened to opera when she was studying. From then on, she did not dare to listen to it anymore.
Lin Xi naturally understood. After transmigrating for so long, he already knew this world very well.
Just like in his previous life, the Chinese opera in this world was also swaying under the impact of modern pop music and gradually declined.
Nowadays, only some middle-aged and elderly people would often listen to opera. Young people preferred fast-paced, catchy, or novel and funny songs.
Even if the lyrics were meaningless and the melody was the same, the songs would be popular among netizens and become popular songs, making the singers earn a lot of money.
Under such circumstances, musicians naturally swarmed to create drool songs because the market liked to listen to them and they could make money.
Not many people were willing to spend years learning opera. Lin Xi had seen some news in his previous life. Many local operas in China were slowly lost because no young people were willing to learn them.
At that time, Lin Xi felt sorry for these ancient arts.
On the other side, Cai Kun was proud of what he had just said. He raised his chin slightly and said,
"Therefore, when musicians learn to sing, they must learn more advanced western pop music. The singing style of traditional Chinese opera was already outdated and outdated. In fact, traditional Chinese opera would eventually be eliminated. There were no traditional Chinese opera in the western developed countries.”
At this moment, the audience in the stadium began to discuss animatedly.
"That's true. If China doesn't learn from the West, how can it achieve prosperity in the music industry? Teacher Cai is right.”
"We're indeed inferior to them. Then we should learn more from the West.”
"It's true that there aren't many people listening to opera now. I reckon that it will be eliminated in a few years.”
"Teacher Cai seems to be right. Western countries do not have opera.”
Cai Kun was very satisfied with the reaction at the scene. His opinion was clearly the mainstream.
Deng Rong, Ling Fang, and the others were all secretly worried for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's expression remained unchanged as he said in a deep voice,"
"It's true that Chinese opera has been declining in recent years, but this doesn't mean that Chinese opera, or even Chinese music, is inferior to the West.”
"It is precisely because our musicians hold such an idea that they will only blindly learn Western singing methods, but they don't know how to draw nutrients from their own country's traditions and carry them forward, which led to the gradual decline of opera.”
"As a Chinese, I can't stand up and look down on Chinese music. I don't think about how to revitalize Chinese music. I only know how to kneel down and flatter the West. This kind of person doesn't deserve to be Chinese!"
"Especially those musicians who have already established themselves in the music industry. They don't deserve to be in the position and have no contribution to Chinese music at all. They keep saying that they want to develop Chinese music, but they don't do anything. They only know how to flatter and crazily export foreign culture.”
It was like thunder on a sunny day.
Lin Xi's words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder!
Cai Kun's face instantly turned red.
Some of the young people were still feeling a little inferior and ashamed by Cai Kun's words just now, but at this moment, they felt a surge of blood and qi, and their bodies seemed to be filled with heat!
The scene instantly exploded.
"F * ck, Scholar Lin Xi is too awesome. These few words made my blood boil!”
"It's too hot. You're right. It's f * cking exciting.”
" It's true. Just now, I felt that Lin Xi was still at a disadvantage, but now it feels like the tables have turned. He said it too well. I wonder if I'm watching a debate show instead of a music show.”
" Lin Xi is right about the ethos and morals of musicians nowadays. Those people who suck up to the West think that everything is good abroad. Even the air is sweet.”
"I'm going to listen to opera when I get back. Scholar Lin Xi wouldn't lie to me. Chinese opera definitely has its attractive side.”
The audience, including the judges, were all in an uproar.
Su Zhilan's spirits were lifted when she heard Lin Xi's words. She, who had been wronged and disappointed just now, instantly felt a surge of hot blood. She looked at Lin Xi with a gentler gaze.
The crew, including the director, did the same.
They didn't expect Lin Xi to take on a popular A-list singer at the competition venue.
However, Lin Xi's words were reasonable and powerful, making people have to admit defeat!
