Chapter 295 Self-inflicted humiliation!
The scene was extremely exciting, and a situation that no one expected happened.
No one could have imagined Lu Zheng's counterattack, but it was extremely sharp, which made Long Zhongyun lose face, but he could do nothing.
What Lu Zheng did was just to give Fan Duoduo a few poems. A talented man and a beautiful woman were not worth mentioning in this way.
For example, on this occasion, how many people gave Fan Duoduo poems and lyrics? But what was so bad was that Lu Zheng's lyrics to Fan Duoduo became Fan Duoduo's most sharp weapon to fight back against Li Qianqian. Just one song "Shuituo Songtou" turned all the advantages accumulated by Li Qianqian into nothingness.
Long Zhongyun, who has always been praised for his talent, has almost become a joke now. Aren’t he always yelling to compete with Lu Zheng?
Lu Zheng didn't even need to meet him, just because he gave Fan Duoduo a poem that Long Zhongyun was defeated.
At the scene, everyone on Li Qianqian had no idea, especially Li Qianqian, who looked flustered and didn't know how to grasp the current situation next.
When she looked back at the mat behind her, she found that the thick stack of poems on the mat was now less than half of them.
Needless to say, many talented men have secretly taken away their works. Lu Zheng's song "Shuitu Songtou" scared many people's courage and made them feel ashamed.
Before this, they dreamed that Li Qianqian could sing their works and become famous by this. But now, they are hiding from this matter like a plague, because no one is willing to humiliate themselves.
Lu Zheng is so famous in Jiangnan, and his lyrics are widely circulated. Every one of his lyrics is the pinnacle. How dare ordinary people fight such a talented man?
Li Qianqian was extremely disappointed. She dared not sing lyrics easily now because she was worried that once the lyrics were sung, Fan Duoduo won the lyrics sharply, another talented man on her side would become a laughing stock.
However, when the situation has reached this point, it can be said that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, because today's courtesan competition has reached this point, which is the lyrics. Could it be that Li Qianqian will lose the courage to sing lyrics next?
Also, Long Zhongyun is known as a gathering of talents. Does Lu Zheng's song "Shuitu Songtou" make so many talents lose the courage to write lyrics?
Li Qianqian's eyes swept across the faces of many talented men. No one dared to look at her, and everyone's eyes showed timidity.
Which talented man doesn’t cherish his feathers? It’s a natural thing for a talented man to cherish his fame. Because a courtesan competition made his reputation plummet, and even became a laughing stock. It was too much of a loss, and no one wanted to.
Long Zhongyun's face turned green. It turns out that after he became ugly, the others were even cowardly. He claimed to be friends with talented men all over the world. All of these talented disciples around him became soft-legged shrimps?
If you raise troops for a thousand days, you can use troops for a while. Since these people can't be used at critical moments, why do you still support these people? All of these people can get out of here.
As soon as he thought about this, the cloud in the dragon said:
"You usually claim to be outstanding in your talent and learning. Could it be that you have achieved success because of a poem by someone else? Don't you feel ashamed? How can a real man easily lose his life?"
Long Zhongyun suddenly became angry, and Ruan Shaolin stepped forward in the crowd and said, "Miss Qianqian, I have a poem that should be able to catch the girl's eyes. I beg Miss Qianqian to sing!"
Ruan Shaolin stepped out with a very excited expression. He fought repeatedly against Lu Zheng and had never won once. It is no exaggeration to say that he was almost red now.
He didn't believe that Lu Zheng could make all the lyrics in the world. There were so many lyrics, and at least hundreds of lyrics. How many lyrics could Lu Zheng make hundreds of lyrics?
Even if Lu Zheng can make so many words, can he guarantee that these words are top masterpieces? This is simply impossible. Ruan Shaolin doesn't believe that there are such powerful people in this world.
The strategy Lu Zheng used was nothing more than bluffing. He was indeed talented and famous. His talent and reputation in Jiangnan was very intimidating. Lu Zheng took advantage of this and made people dare not challenge him.
In fact, many talented men present understand this principle, but everyone thought in their hearts, what if the words they made happened to be on the scroll Lu Zheng gave to Li Qianqian? And they happened to be very good? What should I do? Wouldn't I be fooled?
Everyone lacked the courage, and Ruan Shaolin stepped forward at this time, and Li Qianqian got some comfort. She quickly read Ruan Shaolin's lyrics.
This poem is extremely simple, called "Remembering Jiangnan". When Li Qianqian saw this poem, she frowned slightly. Such a poem is too ordinary. Is Ruan Shaolin really a good choice?
Her thoughts changed and she hurried to read Ruan Shaolin's works. When she saw the works, she was secretly shocked. Immediately, she understood Ruan Shaolin's thoughts again.
"Remembering Jiangnan" is just because it is ordinary, so there are many works and more excellent works. Throughout history, you can think of four or five famous works written with this poem "Character".
Ruan Shaolin's poem is indeed distinctive and is undoubtedly a masterpiece, even less than the previously recognized masterpieces.
Under such circumstances, if Lu Zheng really had a poem called "Remembering Jiangnan", if he only surpassed Ruan Shaolin, he would not feel that it was too great in everyone's hearts.
Unless Lu Zheng can surpass all the previous masterpieces, only in this way can Lu Zheng's talent and knowledge be impressed in everyone's hearts!
As soon as he thought about this, Li Qianqian secretly praised Ruan Shaolin for his meticulous thoughts. Indeed, it is even more difficult to produce excellent works with a well-written lyrics by famous artists. It is already amazing that Ruan Shaolin can write excellent works. Lu Zheng can really write excellent works in any coincidence?
Even if Lu Zheng can write excellent works, can he surpass his predecessors? Throughout history, I wonder how many talented people have written the lyrics of "Remembering Jiangnan". Can Lu Zheng surpass so many famous masters?
Li Qianqian suddenly felt confident in her heart. She moved her lotus steps lightly and walked towards the direction of the high platform. She sat in front of the guqin, playing the guqin with both hands, and singing:
"Spring is gone, I am thankful to the people of Luocheng. The weak willows raise their sleeves in the wind, and the orchids are like scarves. Sitting alone also contains them.
When spring passes, we cherish the bright sunshine. There are still peach blossoms and flowing water, and there is no saying that the bamboo leaves are drunk in front of you. I only like the blue sky..."
As soon as Li Qianqian sang this song, the familiar rhythms that everyone was familiar with immediately caught many people. The people on the scene were all talented, and everyone was very smart, so naturally everyone could understand Li Qianqian's intentions.
"It's "Remembering Jiangnan". Hey, I didn't expect Ruan Shaolin to have such talent and be able to make such a masterpiece!"
"Yes, this is a good lyrics, and Miss Qianqian chose well. "Remembering Jiangnan" is too common. There are probably more than a dozen lyrics that are often sung on the Qinhuai River alone! Many famous artists have masterpieces of "Remembering Jiangnan". It is obvious that Miss Qianqian sang this lyrics to test Lu Zheng!"
After Li Qianqian finished singing a song, the audience was restless, and everyone looked at Fan Duoduo. Li Qianqian stood up and said, "Miss Duoduo, please?"
Fan Duoduo smiled slightly. She deliberately spread the scroll in her hand and then closed it. An elusive smile appeared on her face, and then she walked towards the high platform slowly.
On the high platform, Fan Duoduo played a very mysterious and complex melody of the guqin. Listening to the melody of the guqin, it was first complicated and gradually became simple, and finally it made people suddenly enlightened. At this moment, Fan Duoduo suddenly sang:
"The south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the scenery is once known. The sunrise, the flowers in the river are redder than the fire, and the river water in the spring is green like blue. How can you not remember the south of the Yangtze River?
I remember the most in Jiangnan, Jinling; I look for osmanthus in the moonlight in the mountain temple, and look at the tide on the pillow of the county pavilion. When will I visit again?
Jiangnan remembers, followed by Wu Palace; Wu wine with a cup of spring bamboo leaves, Wu wore two dances and drunken lotus. I met again sooner or later!"
"Boom!" Fan Duoduo sang this, which caused a sensation in the audience. Lu Zheng's poem... My God, this is the most standard style of the lyrics of "Remembering Jiangnan", and the rhythm of the lyrics is exactly the same.
You should know that "Remembering Jiangnan" is so popular that many variations have been derived in a standard style. The main reason for these variations is to avoid repeating the works made by predecessors and to create new works, but the lyrics, cards and singing styles cannot be changed.
According to the rules, the lyrics sing in front of Li Qianqian, and the lyrics sing by Fan Duoduo behind, as long as the lyrics and lyrics are paired, they can use the variation of the lyrics "Remembering Jiangnan", and there will be many changes.
But now, Lu Zheng’s lyrics are neat, and what’s even more incredible is that his lyrics are really wonderful. In the lyrics of "Remembering Jiangnan", Lu Zheng really closely follows the theme of "Jiangnan", and portrays the grand scene of the Qinhuai River to the paper.
"The flowers in the river are redder than fire when the sun rises, and the river is green like blue when the spring comes." It is so beautiful! Such a beautiful scenery can make people intoxicated even if you see it at a glance.
When a poem writes about such a state, instant change can make people feel open-minded and that feeling cannot be expressed in words. It is really wonderful!
The same lyrics, when Lu Zheng's lyrics were sung, it made people ignore all other works. At first, everyone thought the lyrics sang by Li Qianqian was very good, but now they have forgotten them all.
Experts can tell if there is anything at all. Today, all the experts are present. The lyrics sung by Fan Duoduo are almost flawless, suppressing Li Qianqian again. Ruan Shaolin wants to take advantage of the opportunity and stand on the shoulders of his predecessors to defeat Lu Zheng. This plan completely failed. Lu Zheng's lyrics are not only higher than him, but even higher than everyone else. It can be said that there is no one in front of him. They are so strong and have the ability to crush everything!
"Okay, this poem is so good!" Suddenly someone shouted loudly, and the talented man beside Fan Duoduo finally felt proud. The previous haze was instantly swept away, and their spirit seemed to have recovered immediately.
Chapter completed!
