Chapter 121: The popular ballad was born ahead of schedule
Xu Meiyun took the stage for the second time and sang the song "Black Hair Floats Up".
This is a song from the famous female singer Hang Tianqi, which was on the 1990 Spring Festival Gala and became one of the most popular songs in the Asian Games in the same year.
"Black Hair Floats Up" has a bright and cheerful melody, a strong sense of rhythm, and positive lyrics, and it was very popular at the time, but it was not easy to sing well.
In the previous song "A Thousand Words", Xu Meiyun almost copied Teresa Teng's original beauty, and in this second song "Black Hair Floats Up", Xu Meiyun sang it perfectly in a completely different style.
Xu Meiyun sang while dancing in minuets on the stage with the rhythm, flicking her long hair at the node of the beat from time to time, and cheers and whistles in the dance hall came and went.
Even Chen Wen couldn't help but follow the rhythm, knocking on the table with his hand and beating the beat.
After singing the song, Xu Meiyun bowed slightly to the venue and returned to Chen Wen like a gust of wind.
"Meiyun, it's awesome for you, you can actually control two completely different styles, and they are both so perfect!" Chen Wen admired from the bottom of his heart.
"That's right!hee!" Xu Meiyun took a sip of orange juice.
Blinking her big eyes, Xu Meiyun said, "Awen, when will you go on stage to sing one?"
Chen Wen thought for a while: "The songs here are too old, I want to sing a new song, maybe the band can't play it." ”
"Ah, there are songs we can't play?" The guitarist came to the side with a plate containing three bottles of beer and two small plates, and happened to hear Chen Wen's words.
The guitarist put the beer and small saucers on the table and said, "This is a little bit of our band's heart, and I hope we can both laugh at it." ”
Chen Wen hurriedly said: "Please sit down, please sit!"
The guitarist pulled a chair from a nearby vacant seat, sat down and said, "Sir, your girlfriend sings at the best level we've heard in the last month or so. Here, cheers. ”
Chen Wen and Xu Meiyun also raised the wine bottle together, and the three of them touched it.
The guitarist said, "Sir, you said you wanted to sing a song, but you were worried that we wouldn't be able to play it?
When Xu Meiyun was singing, Chen Wen pondered for a while, and in his previous life, he liked Zhao Lei's songs very much.
Chen Wen wants to sing "Chengdu" today, and he plans to change the lyrics, change the "Chengdu" in the title and lyrics to the Bund, and change the "Yulin Road" to "Zhongshan Road".
Thinking of this, Chen Wen said: "The title of the song is "The Bund", which is a ballad written by myself. ”
The guitarist suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder you are worried that our band will not play, sir." You have your own original song, we haven't heard it, and of course we won't play it. ”
Chen Wen thought that although he couldn't play the guitar, a bar guitarist he knew in his previous life once revealed a secret, as long as he mastered some chord fingering, he could play any accompaniment.
Chen Wen said: "Actually, it is not difficult for me to accompany this song. ”
Chen Wen talked about the names of several chords in the key of E, as well as the order and the attention to the door, and the guitarist understood it after listening to it, and said that there was no problem.
In Xu Meiyun's expectant gaze, Chen Wen took the stage.
---------------------------------
Before taking the stage, Chen Wen hummed the prelude melody on both sides, and the guitarist was already able to ensure that it was played.
As for those chord accompaniments, they are as common to the guitarist as drinking water and eating.
In this way, the famous "Chengdu" appeared in advance, and the song title was changed to "The Bund".
"Good evening, friends. "Tonight, we're honored to have a musician who brings us an original song of his own, called 'The Bund,'" the band's lead singer said, holding the microphone and saying, "Tonight evening. Next, please enjoy. ”
The classic melody sounds, and the guitarist plays a gentle and elegant intro.
Chen Wen's magnetic and vicissitudes of voice sang this song that will be loved by countless people in the future:
It wasn't just last night's wine that brought tears to my eyes
What makes me reluctant is not only your tenderness
How long is the rest of the road, you hold my hand
What makes me feel embarrassed is the freedom to struggle
Separation is always in September, and memories are the sorrow of longing
The weeping willows of late autumn kissed my forehead
In that rainy town, I never forgot you
The Bund, the only one you can't take away, is you
Take a walk with me on the streets of the Bund, oh oh oh
It doesn't stay until all the lights are out
You'll pull my sleeves, and I'll put my hands in my trouser pockets
Walk to the end of Zhongshan Road and sit at the door of the tavern
。。。。。。
The audience was silent, and everyone was shocked by this moving song.
It wasn't until Chen Wen finished singing that the scene suddenly erupted into crazy cheers.
Several members of the band stepped forward and hugged Chen Wen in turn.
The lead singer said: "This gentleman, I have never heard this original song of yours, it is really beautiful!"
The guitarist said, "Sir, this song of yours is so good, it's really my pleasure to be able to accompany you!"
At this time, the owner of the dance hall also came over from the backstage, a fat man in a gray suit.
"Hello sir, I am the manager of this dance hall, my surname is Chen, what do you call me?"
"Hello Manager Chen, I also have my surname, and I belong to you. Chen Wen replied.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, we were one family five hundred years ago!" Manager Chen warmly shook Chen Wen's hand.
Manager Chen continued: "Mr. Chen, I heard this song of yours backstage, and I was shocked!
Chen Wen smiled: "Then thank you Manager Chen!"
"Again, again!" At this time, the shouts of the guests resounded in the hall, at first it was shouted by others, and then it developed into almost all of them shouting in unison, and the sound was spectacular.
Hearing this, Manager Chen smiled and said to Chen Wen: "Mr. Chen, the friends at the scene are so enthusiastic, do you see?"
Chen Wen also felt that he felt very good when he sang just now, and he was still unsatisfied, so he promised: "Okay, then I'll sing it again, and I'll trouble the big brother of the band!"
"Ah Hui, prepare!" Manager Chen said to the guitarist.
"OK, boss!" the guitarist agreed.
Chen Wen is ready to take the stage again.
"Please wait!" the lead singer suddenly shouted.
The crowd looked at him curiously.
"I'm going to get the tape recorder! Wait for me for a minute!" the lead singer ran backstage, returning a moment later with a tape recorder on his shoulder.
Hey, it's twice the size of a 21st-century computer case!
Chen Wen hadn't seen such a big "antique" for a long time.
Chen Wen said to everyone, "Wait a minute, I'll go say hello to my friend." ”
Chen Wen told Xu Meiyun the news that he was about to sing on stage again, and the beauty cheered happily.
Chen Wen took the stage for the second time and sang "The Bund" changed from "Chengdu".
The melody is not complicated, the lyrics are beautiful and concise, and when Chen Wen sang it for the second time, a small number of audience members were able to sing along.
"The Bund, the only one you can't take away!"
"Walk to the end of Zhongshan Road and sit at the door of the tavern!"
The audience in the audience followed Chen Wen's rhythm and co-authored together.
The atmosphere was so warm!
After Chen Wen sang for the second time, the audience was boiling!
Manager Chen took the stage first and shook hands with Chen Wen.
Manager Chen said: "Mr. Chen will come to our dance hall in the future, and he will be free of charge!
Chen Wen smiled: "Then I will thank Manager Chen!"
