♂』Chen Yu delivered a series of jokes, and in a full hour and a half, he only recited one song, "Green Flowers in the Army," and he hadn't even finished it yet, but everyone in the audience was laughing hysterically.

Chen Yu's stand-up comedy is truly unmatched, it's amazing!

Liu Yun couldn't help but admire Chen Yu. He talked about a song for over an hour and still hadn't finished. To be precise, he hadn't said anything at all, but it felt like he had said a lot.

"Let's go back to the song 'Green Flowers in the Army.' Actually, this song is really suitable for officers and soldiers. It doesn't require high singing skills or a unique voice. It's just a simple green song for the army."

Now we'll move on to a live teaching session. Let's sing "Green Flowers in the Army" together. I don't want you to show off your skills or your vocal timbre. I know that everyone here is a talented person with unique musical abilities, but this song doesn't need that.

Let's sing quietly and wholeheartedly! This is a video I edited; you can watch it along with it! Think of it as a group karaoke session—have a great time!

As I said before, this song is meant to be sung with feeling. As our beautiful lady just mentioned, it's a song with a folk-style arrangement that reveals a pure sentiment," Chen Yu said, opening the video he had brought.

The video that Chen Yu had edited began to play, accompanied by familiar background music.

Those present were naturally familiar with this song, given its immense popularity during the Spring Festival Gala. As soon as the rhythm started, everyone immediately switched to "The cold wind blows, the leaves fall."

The army is a green flower

My dear comrade, don't miss home...

The chorus of thousands of people was very powerful. Although each person sang very "softly", these thousands of "soft" voices merged into a torrent.

A torrent that swept across the land.

"How do you feel?!" Chen Yu asked with a smile to everyone.

"It's great! I wasn't really into it at first, but then I was completely immersed. It felt like I was a soldier. It was amazing!"

"Yes, once you're inside, the emotions are truly indescribable!"

Listening to everyone's comments, Chen Yu smiled and said, "When everyone sings this song together, it has a very different feel, because this feeling is not unique to one person, but belongs to thousands of soldiers and disciples."

"I salute them here!" Chen Yu said, giving a military salute.

"Although I've never been a soldier, I know what it's like to be one. Don't ask me why, I'll tell you: it's because I'm Chen Yu, a man known as a prodigy!" Chen Yu said with a playful tone.

"Your Highness, is it really okay for you to act so arrogantly?! I know you're very capable, but this kind of haughtiness is really not admirable."

"Yes, Your Highness, you're too arrogant!"

"I've seen people show off, but I've never seen anyone show off like this!"

"I knew it. You guys are really something. I won't say any more. Every year, the country recruits college students to join the army. You can go and experience it for yourselves. If a man wants to be complete, he must go through the process of serving in the army."

Of course, I'm not just talking nonsense here. In three to five years, after my life has settled down, I might choose to serve in the army for two years. If you go now, in three to five years you'll all be officers, and I, a greenhorn, will have to greet you all with "Good day, Commander!"

The students in the audience laughed; they all longed for such a day, but would that day ever actually come?

Maybe?

Next, Chen Yu analyzed the song "Hair Like Snow." When Chen Yu talked about this song, all the old professors in the audience began to straighten up, knowing that something good was coming.

The purpose of my visit here today is to hear Chen Yu, the founder of the Chinese style, interpret this concept.

In this regard, no one can deny or compare to Chen Yu.

This is universally acknowledged!

"What I'm about to say may be familiar to you or unfamiliar to you. But that doesn't matter. I believe many teachers and students here are here for this. We've talked a lot of nonsense before, it's time for the real stuff."

The concept of "Chinese style" was not first proposed by me. On the contrary, many people had tried to do so a long time ago, but they did not make any breakthrough progress, but they laid the foundation. I defined Chinese style by standing on the shoulders of these giants. Of course, I have always believed that this is just my personal opinion. The music world is vast and profound. Although I have some cleverness, I would never dare to be presumptuous.

Although I have gained some fame and popularity now, it doesn't mean anything. At most, I'm just lucky that my creations are liked by everyone, that's all.

Some people may know that the Chinese-style music in my mind mostly uses the "Gong mode" as its main melody.

As music students know, the pentatonic scale is a unique national musical scale in my country. The five notes are Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu, which respectively represent "doremisolla" in Western music. However, there is no "fasi" note in classical Chinese music. The scale with Gong as the tonic is called the "Gong scale".

Secondly, the music arrangement extensively utilizes classical Chinese musical instruments such as the erhu, guzheng, xiao, and pipa.

These are things that everyone knows, things that can be found everywhere online and are also common knowledge in books.

Now comes the important part: I define Huaxia style as "three ancient and three new"—that is, a unique Chinese musical style that combines ancient poetry, ancient culture, ancient melodies, new singing methods, new arrangements, and new concepts.

The lyrics are imbued with Chinese cultural connotations, and the use of modern singing techniques and arrangement skills enhances the song's atmosphere. The song combines a nostalgic Chinese background with rhythm to create a style that is subtle, melancholic, elegant, and lighthearted.

Chinese style can be divided into two types: pure Chinese style and near-Chinese style. Pure Chinese style is a song that meets the above six conditions; near-Chinese style is a song that does not meet some conditions but is very close to pure Chinese style.

Actually, "Hair Like Snow" is not a true example of Chinese style; as I just mentioned, it is only close to Chinese style.

Today I'm going to bring you a truly authentic Chinese-style song, the purest and most standard one!

Give me five minutes to prepare. I've already set up the instrumental track for this song, and this part can perfectly showcase its beauty!

When Chen Yu said that his song "Hair Like Snow" was not the purest form of Chinese style, everyone was stunned. They all thought that "Hair Like Snow" was the standard Chinese style, and they analyzed it according to that standard. But now the creator of Chinese style is telling them that they are wrong. It is not the purest form of Chinese style, but a close relative and variant!

This had a huge impact on them! (To be continued.)
