Chapter 420: Nanping Evening Bell
Live broadcast, the lights are shining.
Only the stage was dark.
Several staff members dressed in the same black are quietly setting up the background to prepare for the next He Xiao's performance, and the camera is given to another small stage at this time, and the host is passing on it.
The use of this kind of storyboard is a common means in live broadcasts, and the Spring Festival Gala is also in this form, Liao Yuqing, as the famous director of the Spring Festival Gala, should naturally be successful.
After the arrangement of the main stage was completed, the host on the small stage also finished talking and began to announce the next contestants.
"The next contestant is interesting, because he has created many miracles in the music industry, and he is also the brightest star on the stage of "Singer", he is the young original singer He Xiao who won eight regular season singers in a row!"
"Let's use the warmest applause to welcome He Xiao and his guest singer Zhang Ya to the stage!"
The host's voice fell, and the camera flashed directly to the main stage, and the 40,000 pairs of eyes in the audience looked at it together.
I saw that on the stage at this time, the dazzling lights had been lit up, showing in front of everyone's eyes was a clear blue ocean, and the background picture was a few trees glowing with green light.
And below the jade tree, a black piano was already horizontally there, pitch black and bright, spotless.
On top of the black and white piano keys, a pair of white jade-like palms rested gently there.
Not far from the piano, Zhang Ya stepped on high heels and wore a white dress, like a Guanghan fairy falling from the sky, slim and elegant.
Such a special appearance immediately amazed many people, and the close-up shot was given to the two of them for the first time.
He Xiao took a deep breath, brewed slightly, and the next moment his hands began to dance on the piano.
The soothing and light background music slowly came out at this time, making the whole scene quiet all at once.
Compared with Kavin's high-pitched roar just now, He Xiao's performance was too quiet.
"Is he going to sing a slow song?"
Backstage, many of the contestants blinked, looking thoughtful.
On the Internet, the performance has not yet started, and the barrage is much looser, except for the fans waving their flags and cheering, they are basically speculative messages.
"The most awaited combination is here (*^β½^*)"
"Xiaoya rush forward for me!!"
"He Xiao's advantage in this issue is really big. β
"Are you going to sing a love song this time?"
"Master's love song is a must" (??????)"
"Looking forward to it~"
He Xiao has performed many excellent love songs before, and the closest one is "I Only Care About You" sung at the wedding, which can be said to have captured a large number of netizens.
So this time, as soon as the soothing song prelude came out, many people began to speculate before and after the screen.
Some people say it's a slow song, while others say it's a love song.
In the eyes of everyone's various expectations, in the broadcast screen, He Xiao played the piano elegantly and slowly spoke.
I hurried into the forest. β
"The forest is thick. β
"I can't find his whereabouts. β
"I saw the tree shaking the wind. β
The voice was extremely soft, warm like the March sun, gently shining on everyone's cheeks.
As soon as the camera changed, it was given to Zhang Ya, she looked ahead, her eyes half-squinted, as if she was intoxicated by the melody.
I hurried into the forest. β
"The forest is thick. β
"I can't see his whereabouts. β
"I only heard the Nanping bell. β
Zhang Ya's crystal clear voice was also full of tenderness at this time, and both of them were humming softly.
"Ahhhhh......h
The two very different voices are intertwined with each other at this time, and they become an incomparably beautiful harmony every second.
"Silence the voice!"
Many viewers in the audience were amazed, and it is no exaggeration to say that this harmony alone has beaten many so-called singers in China.
Both of them are top-notch voices and singing skills, and after the combination, the effect is naturally outstanding.
"Nanping evening bell. β
"Drift in the wind. β
"It's like knocking on my heart. β
This section has been used in falsetto chorus, but it still sounds low, very soft.
"Nanping evening bell. β
"Drift in the wind. β
"It seems to be urging me to wake up my lovesick dreams. β
Zhang Ya walked to the side of the stage, He Xiao, who was playing the piano, and sang softly while smiling, her sweet voice seemed to be heavenly.
Offstage, several singers who have finished performing are watching the performances on the stage seriously.
He Xiao has 800,000 basic points, which undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on everyone, so although it is a little unpleasant to say, everyone actually hopes that He Xiao can make a mistake.
Calvin Rost has been staring at the stage intently, he only knows a little about Chinese, and he can't understand the meaning of the lyrics at all, but he can feel the style and melody of the music, and know that this is a very gentle slow song.
As the saying goes, music knows no borders, and that's it.
This obviously relieved him, he was famous for his high notes, but he had never heard of He Xiao being famous for his lyrical slow songs, using his best parts to attack the opponent's weak points, and the odds of winning undoubtedly increased a lot.
On the stage, Zhang Ya walked to the piano, stretched out a hand to caress the piano surface, and sang:
"It woke me up from lovesick dreams. β
"What's the use of acacia. β
He Xiao didn't look at the keys at all, raised his head and looked at Zhang Ya, played blindly with ten fingers, and responded:
"I walked out of the forest. β
"I saw the sunset red again. β
The song is sung here, everything is relatively normal, Zong Shaohong and Kavin in the audience are relaxed, this is really a slow song lyrical, the audience has just experienced Kavin's high-pitched bombardment, and may still be immersed in it, now singing this type of song is obviously a bit out of place, maybe He Xiao really had a very low number of votes in the first round.
It's time to turn over!
However, just when the two groups of contestants in the audience were a little lucky, on the stage, after another melody, the style of painting suddenly changed.
I saw Zhang Ya take two steps forward, one hand slowly raised up in the air, and sang with He Xiao.
"Nanping evening bell. β
"Drift in the wind. β
"It was like knocking on my heart. β
Kavin's face changed, and Zong Shaohong also stood up, because the rhythm of the song at this time began to be wrong, and all the beats were rising and rising!
I saw He Xiao raise his head, staring at the sky with burning eyes, and Zhang Ya clenched his palm, as if he was accumulating strength.
Two voices, a man and a woman, continued to converge at this time.
"Nanping evening bell. β
"Drift in the wind. β
"It seems to be urging me to wake up my lovesick dreams. β
After the sound fell, all the melodies disappeared at this time, and the whole scene suddenly appeared a moment of silence.
The audience shook their hands with glow sticks and paused slightly, looking confused, but Kavin and Zong Shaohong seemed to feel something, and their heartbeats intensified inexplicably at this moment.
After seeing the performance on the stage as if it had paused in time and space, Zhang Ya suddenly tore off the long coat she was wearing and threw it to the ground, and He Xiao, who was playing the piano in the back, also jumped on the piano and stood on it.
"Nanping Evening Bellβ"
"I hurried into the forest, and the forest was full of clumps (rap)"
"Drift in the windβ"
"I couldn't find his whereabouts, only the tree that was rippling"
"It's like knocking on my heart. β
"I hurried into the forest, and the forest was so thick that I couldn't see his whereabouts, only the rap of the Nanping Bell."
With Zhang Ya's sudden high note, all the musical instruments on the scene exploded in unison, like a muffled thunder, blowing up the 40,000 people at the scene.
Immediately afterwards, countless shouts came out in the audience, and the figures with no end in sight suddenly stood up, Xie Yan, Zong Shaohong and many participating singers behind the scenes also grew their mouths in a daze.
The performance of this scene in front of me is really shocking!
Zhang Ya is angry with high notes, He Xiao is rapping wildly, and the most important thing is that this kid is standing on the piano and posing with a posture of "the master wants to go to the sky".
The treble is mixed with rap, bombarding people's ears at the same time, but it is surprisingly good.
I don't know how many people feel their blood boiling at this moment, and the adrenaline is constantly soaring.
Zhang Ya: "Nanping evening bell, drifting with the windββ"
He Xiao: "Nanping evening bell, drifting with the wind, it seems to wake up my lovesick dream, it awakens my lovesick dream, what is the use of lovesickness (rap)." β
Zhang Ya: "It seems to be urging me to wake up my lovesick dream." β
He Xiao: "I walked out of the bush forest and saw the sunset red again, I walked out of the bush forest and saw the sunset red (rap) again." β
Chorus: "Ah......h
With the end of the last rap, the melody reached the highest point of the whole song, He Xiao sang with Zhang Ya, soaring high notes, no lyrics, only a "ah" hummed in falsetto!
It was these two "ahs" that refreshed everyone's perception of treble, they didn't expect that Zhang Ya could shout, and He Xiao could shout!
Moreover, He Xiao's single treble is twenty seconds, and after changing his breath in the middle, it is another twenty-second long treble.
This undoubtedly confuses many people.
After a brief moment of shock, Calvin Rost began to dry his mouth with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
He is known as one of the top ten tenors in the world, so why laugh at this?
And this song is obviously a slow song lyrical, why did the pitch suddenly become so high, and even added a rap? What kind of arrangement is this?
Zong Shaohong was also stunned, although he was not young, but his mentality was very trendy, he knew that the current music is very changeable, and there are many forms of performance, but this style is also the first time I have heard of it.
This song is called "Nanping Evening Bell".
is more famous in black mobile phones, the original song is Cui Ping, and it is a song composed in 1958.
The song title "Nanping Evening Bell" is located on the south bank of Fuhai in the Old Summer Palace, east of Guangyu Palace, a cross-shaped pavilion.
The eaves of the pavilion hang the Qianlong imperial book "Nanping Evening Bell", this scene has the same name as the Nanping Evening Bell of Hangzhou West Lake, and is one of the small ten views of the Old Summer Palace.
A niche song that writes about scenery has been widely circulated in the past few decades because of Cui Ping's moving, and has been covered by many singers such as Fei Yuqing, Cai Qin, Huang Ling, Hua Chenyu, and Su Shiding.
Among them, the more famous is Fei Yuqing's version, which was once a household name, and it was not until Hua Chenyu's cover that this song had a new spokesperson.
The version sung by Hua Chenyu and Su Shiding in the semi-finals of "The Battle of Heaven" is extremely bold, subverting the audience's previous perception of the song, such as adding rap elements, etc., so that "Nanping Evening Bell", which is full of joy and tenderness, has become a trendy hit.
Even the perfect combination of Hua Chenyu and Su Shiding's voices made Fei Yuqing on the side look a little confused, saying that he would not be able to sing in the future.
This is indeed a rare high-quality masterpiece in Hua Chenyu's works.
Playing and singing, harmony, switching between high and low octaves, stable bass, and the length of the B-flat treble is more challenging than usual, and the most terrifying thing is to suddenly fly on the piano and sing rap, but the face is not red and the heart is not beating.
And at the end, he sang two sixteen-second trebles with Su Shiding.
This also led to the sublimation of the whole song, after all, this was originally a cheerful and lyrical slow song, and he was able to add rock and hardcore rap elements on the basis of such tenderness, but the conversion was naturally not embarrassing, which is quite rare.
This has also led to the rapid popularity of the immortal golden song "Nanping Evening Bell" among young people, and all major music software platforms have achieved a lot of results, and the music area of Bilibili and other barrage websites has also reached millions of playbacks.
He Xiao re-interpreted Hua Chenyu's version of "Nanping Evening Bell" with Zhang Ya today, from the lyrical slow song in the front to the extreme treble in the back, this magical transformation can be described as stunned.
The audience of 40,000 people was all boiling and screaming.
Especially He Xiao played at a super level on the basis of the original version today, and those two sixteen-second trebles were yelled at by He Xiao to twenty seconds!
And Zhang Ya is also quite powerful, in the case of He Xiao's temporary strengthening of the treble, she followed without falling for a second, and the strength of a generation of divas was undoubtedly displayed, domineering and leaking.
The stadium of 40,000 people is filled with their voices everywhere.
Even long after the treble has ended, the aftermath is still lingering.
The audience in front of the TV was also stunned, although they were not at the scene, they still felt the atmosphere through the broadcast, and then left messages on the Internet.
"I'm!"
"The scene exploded!"
"Master is too handsome, right?"
"Sister Ya tore her clothes and opened them up. β
"Invincible!"
"My goosebumps duck. β
"High energy! nuclear energy!"
This paragraph is obviously too shocking, so that the Internet quickly reached a boiling state like the scene.
"It woke me up from lovesick dreams. β
"What's the use of acacia. β
"I walked out of the forest. β
"I saw the sunset red again. β
On TV, in a long shot that rotates around the stage, Zhang Ya, who is in the center of the picture, does not change her face, her breath is orderly, and she softly sings the last lyrics.
At this point, the performance officially ended.
