What do you think about Wang Zijian’s ridicule of the song “Once Upon a Time Slow” in his talk show as having no common sense?

In fact, many viewers are familiar with Liu Huyi and this song. In the middle of last month, when Liu Huyi took "Once Upon a Slow" to the stage of CCTV's three original music reality shows "Chinese Good Songs", the song was included in Liu Huan's original album "Xi Xin".

Liu Huyi said that he accidentally saw Mu Xin’s poem on the Internet at the end of last year and was deeply moved by the sentiment in it. "The first sentence that caught my eye, 'I remember when we were young, everyone was sincere and said one sentence,' hit me. Teacher Mu Xin's writing seems simple and unpretentious, but in fact every word is precious. He uses ' The shop selling soy milk is steaming. Such words with a strong sense of life brought us back to our childhood. When I saw this sentence, I immediately thought of the roadside stall where I bought breakfast on the way to school in elementary school. I felt that simplicity and leisure. I wanted to write a song about time to express my thoughts on my musical path."

Liu Huyi, 30, lives in Wuhan and has been involved in music since 1994. After studying composition in the Affiliated High School, he spent 21 years engaged in composing and 10 years focusing on behind-the-scenes work. He has served as an arranger for many large-scale music festivals and TV music programs.

“The poem describes that simple and kind era, and those distant times and past events come to mind again and again like old movies.” Liu Huyi believes that the reason why this song is so popular among everyone I like it precisely because Mu Xin brings everyone's thoughts back to the "slow pace" that is lacking in today's society.

Be sincere enough to fit the feelings of the poem

However, composing music for a modern poem posed quite a challenge to Liu Huyi.

“Modern poetry is completely different from ordinary lyrics in terms of rhyme, sentence structure and syntax. We must be more careful in the music and melody so as not to destroy the connotation of the words. Teacher Mu Xin is good at using the most refined and colloquial words to create The visual and nostalgic feeling came to my mind. In the end, the principle I decided on was not to show off my skills, not to be verbose, but to be sincere and sincere. I think it is more appropriate to write and sing in a confiding tone. ”

Sure enough, as soon as this song met the audience, it received rave reviews. Many viewers expressed their inner feelings online. "Long and delicate, revealing the simplicity and warmth of human nature, tear-jerking and heart-warming." "The whole Spring Festival Gala was drunk by "Once Upon a Time Slow", full of aftertaste, and transported back to the past in memory." "When I go back to my hometown, I will accompany you. Walking around with my old father, I feel the old days of "Once Upon a Time Slow""

Music critic Ren Erdi commented on the "beautiful artistic conception" of "Once Upon a Time Slow": "Carefully appreciate the words 'Become Slow'. The two parts of "Emails Are Slow" exude not the beauty of the melody, but the slow rhythm of the words. "Music critic Aidi Ren also wrote a blog post for it: "The lyrics are beautiful, the music is also beautiful, and it's actually still beautiful. It uses the composition technique of Mongolian long tune, and you can tell at first glance that it is from a professional background, and uses Mongolian elements to achieve the effect of leaving blank space."

Liu Huyi said that the melody he put in the "Pastoral Song" is also the same. After careful consideration. "Because the simplicity and sincerity contained in the Mongolian long tune is exactly the state that people born in the 70s and 80s now generally aspire to."

Mu Xin's disciple Chen Danqing also expressed his feelings after hearing "Once Upon a Time Slow" recognized. "Teacher Chen Danqing said when I was on the phone that the appropriate interpretation of "Once Upon a Time Slow" in a musical way gave the poem new connotation and was of certain significance to the dissemination of Mu Xin's works.
