"How dare you claim to be brave?"
Seven-String Tom started chanting, the starting tone was not high, but it carried a confidence and power that penetrated people's hearts.
Since the singer's introduction focused on the words "Stoney Sept" and "Battle of the Bells", these are recent "hot news".
Many guests put down their wine glasses and sat upright to listen to the last song at the banquet.
"Earl asked angrily, do you dare to stop our army from setting foot in this town?
The red armor is like fire, the black armor is like abyss, and the two swords clash to determine victory or defeat."
When singing "Earl roar angrily, dare to block our army?", Tom deliberately raised his voice, as if he was imitating the lord's arrogance; when singing "Mysterious armor is like the abyss", when the other protagonist in the poem, Hei Earl, appeared on the stage, he lowered his breath again, revealing a firm depth.
Someone who was sensitive in the hall had already heard what he was singing, and took advantage of the pause in the voice to suddenly start clapping and applauding.
At this time, many people from the group of musicians responsible for accompaniment joined in, echoing Seven-String Tom, and sang in unison. "Red Earl fights black Earl, flying lion claws and fierce vultures."
The bells in the stone hall rang and clanked, the swords were drawn and thunder rose, the cold light shone coldly——"
In the hall, more and more people are picking up on the lyrics. It seems to be the same type of song as "Rainy Season in a Certain Gold Mine".
The so-called "red armor is like fire, black armor is like abyss, and the two swords clash to determine the winner or loser", doesn't it mean "the colors are different, the power is not inferior, and each shows his magical power to determine the winner." Well!
And that "red Earl fights black Earl" is "red lion fights yellow lion, claws and claws are sharp and merciless."?
Well, it's hard to comment.
Intentional touch Westerlands The founder of the big gold mine was sitting in the banquet, smiling and quietly enjoying the songs composed by Tom.
Peake of Starpike was once the same as Lannister of Casterly Rock. They both regarded House Reyne of Castamere as their enemies.
Peake killed the "Red Lion" me, and the "Red Lion" Roger also chopped off seven Peake's heads. If Lord Tywin hadn't struck first, by the time Starpike regained his breath, a similar situation might not have happened----
The singing enters the middle part of the main song and climaxes one after another.
Tom in the field has begun to sing his high notes. As a large number of musical instruments such as wooden harps, violins, and flutes join in the performance, the melody of the entire poem becomes more powerful and exciting.
"The Red Lord leapt forward proudly, the Black Horse dared to take my three swords?
Akainu, please don't utter arrogant words, I will let you die today!
Your sword is too slow and you have an opportunity to take advantage! The Black Lord sarcastically said, "Look at me slashing your armor and it will shatter! The Red Lord stared angrily."
The sound of the accompaniment gradually increased, and the rhythm of Tom's singing also became more rapid. A large amount of information in the lyrics poured into the minds of the audience, forming scenes of the two parties confronting each other before their eyes.
The rhetorical exchanges between the commanders and the urgency of drawing swords to fight give people a sense of life.
Stoney Sept The scene of the two armies fighting is especially before our eyes.
As the chorus began, the musicians joined the chorus again and chanted in unison. "Black Earl fights against red Earl, the dragon steel is sharp and merciless, the stone hall bell rings, Heartsbane falls in response, and the claws are broken in two pieces."
The stone hall bell rang, Heartsbane fell in response, and the claw was broken into two pieces——"
The harpist suddenly plucked the strings and made a crisp "clang" sound, which exactly simulated the tragic sound of a person being defeated and his sword broken and his hand broken.
The lingering sound was like the end of a battle.
The silence only lasted for a moment, and was replaced by enthusiastic cheers. A burst of cheers instantly erupted in the Riverrun hall.
Regardless of its quality, this is a "main theme" song, and in this scene, no one dares not to buy it.
The guests at the wedding banquet raised their wine glasses, or knocked continuously on the edge of the table, or shouted spontaneously in unison, "Tom! Tom----Black Earl! Black Earl! Black Earl----"
Tom in the field bowed again and again, and "Black Earl" himself stood up from his seat under the high platform, raised his glass high, responded to the shouts of the crowd, and said in a cadence, "This glass is for victory! Here's to Stoney Sept, I also respect this good song - I hope that the bells and sword songs of Stoney Sept will always be entangled in the nightmares of those defeated generals, so that the tyrant on Iron Throne and his corrupt sycophants will always remember this defeat!"
"To victory!"
"To Victory""
Amidst the excitement, Mr. Earl, who had finished his toast, quietly sat back in his seat.
At first, he was not sure about the artistic standards that Westeros people would accept, so he used "The Rains of Castamere", which was always high on the "Hot Song Ranking" in the Western Continent, as a reference.
Of course, at the beginning, he did not use Jon Clinton to duel with himself as the protagonist in the ballad, and he was not particularly adapted to the overall style of the Westeros ballad.
After meeting Seven-String Tom, who had a relationship with Nightsong, Titus paid for the mission and gave Tom the general framework and part of the script content to adapt into music.
Titus produced several drafts for this purpose and gave them to troubadours who were very interested in this matter.
It also includes some clear plot directions, such as:
Stoney Sept After the First World War (after the defeat of Chibi), when the royal army was on the run (on the way Cao Jun escaped), Jon, who had lost his arm and was defeated, laughed miserably (Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed). Everyone asked, "Why is Hand of the King (prime minister) laughing?"
Jon (Cao Cao) replied, "I laugh at that Peake's lack of strategy, and the false king Robert's incompetence (Zhuge Wumou, Zhou Yu Shaozhi). If I use troops, I will ambush an army here. Even if we are not captured, we will definitely lose another journey and suffer huge losses----"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of men and horses coming out of the side. The leader was a ghost-faced black armor, holding a fist-headed lance (leopard head with eyes, holding a snake spear eight feet long), it was none other than Starpike Earl (Zhang Yide from Yan)----
However, according to Tom, this kind of adaptation is not easy to make. It needs to be in line with the actual situation and regional characteristics of Westeros, so that short and concise poetry themes can be chosen.
One step ahead is a genius, a few steps ahead is a freak.
Titus Earl said that he listened to the professionals and did not insist too much on his original case, so he came up with the current version of "Black Earl Fights Red Earl".
All I can say is that I hope the villain in the song, the red-haired Mr. Jon, will also like it.
He didn't even let Jon "die" like Tom sang in the song, which was considered the end of his kindness----
Right.
Anyway, there is no copyright law here at Westeros, let alone restricting the use of the portrait rights of hostile characters----
Titus saw the enthusiastic feedback from the audience today and couldn't help but feel confident.
He planned to discuss with Tom, a top talent in the mainland music industry, to expand the plot of the song.
Try to upgrade the story of "Battle of the Bells" into a drama script with a more complex structure and grander scenes. Then hire a famous actor group from mainland China to rehearse the new drama together.
After the play was completed, while financing and planning, several theater troupes were arranged to perform tours in various places, continuously deepening Starpike's influence and reputation among civilians.
Again, I hope the villain in the song, the red-haired Mr. Jon, will also like it----
Regardless of whether the redhead likes it or not, if this is done, it will not only increase Starpike Earl's popularity among the people, but also be beneficial to Titus's follow-up package.
Thinking about his plan to "promote a career", Titus only chatted a few words with Seven-String Tom, and then he was busy dealing with the big and small nobles from all over the world who came to socialize with him.
The Reach people show off, Stormlands people show off, Vale people are most influenced by Andals knight culture, the North people are the most direct, and Riverlands people as landlords are the most moderate----
He was already a popular man, but nobles were reserved, so he didn't bother him when he came up earlier.
Now that the song has been sung and the wine is flowing, everyone puts down their pretensions and deepens their relationship with the hero in the song, or makes a toast to congratulate each other.
In a short period of time, Titus stole the spotlight from four newcomers.
He didn't get out until the important part of the day came.
That important link is--
Westeros style wedding ceremony!
Titus After a little review, I found that the ethnic customs of the Western Continent can no longer be described as "wild".
That's pretty wild----
