Chapter 502: "Far Away Her"
For most young singers, they have never seen the top singers of the older generation like Zhang Juncheng perform live, even if it is a leader of the young generation with a high degree like He Xiao, they have only witnessed it once by chance at the Huading Award ceremony.
Therefore, in the face of the open and secret battle between Quan Xiaoren and Zhang Juncheng, most of the people present were very looking forward to it, and the long guns and short cannons in the hands of many media reporters were already aimed at the stage.
On the small stage of the cafΓ©, under the command of Quan Xiaoren, the sound of the accompaniment is not very abrupt, the cycle is gradual, a little higher, and the electric guitar on Quan Xiaoren's shoulder is also plucked down at this time, and the strings are like a long sword out of the sheath, echoing in the sky.
Then, the drum kit, bass and other instruments also erupt together, like a volcano ready to go, and the dynamic melody rushes into the sky.
I have to say that as the godfather of rock and roll, Jeon Hyo-in, his ability to arrange rock music is really unsurprising, just a few notes, and the charm of rock music is undoubtedly displayed!
It's a skill that is hard for others to learn, and it's all inseparable from talent, experience, and control over the rhythm of music.
"Wake up another me in me. β
"A faint light that is about to go out. β
"Wake me up, open your eyes. β
"Yes, wake me up!"
In the passionate prelude, Jeon Hyo-in sang in his native language.
Although he, like Li Shengxin, sings something that few people can understand in the audience, the effect is different.
Whether it is the rhythm or melody of the music, it is much higher than Li Shengxin's level!
"I really didn't expect that Quan Xiaoren, who hadn't sung on stage for a few years, was not old, and this level didn't seem to be much worse than when he was young, right?!"
Many singers present were immediately attracted by Quan Xiaoren's performance, and even Long Yelin, a king-level figure in the mainland of the Chinese music scene, also reacted in the same way and couldn't help but marvel.
He Xiao, who was sitting in the audience to rest, also frowned slightly, seriously comparing how much Quan Xiaoren's music level was different from himself, and finally he had to admit that he sighed, this Quan Xiaoren's strength was above him.
This is a very terrifying thing, you must know that He Xiao has almost reached the peak of the Chinese music scene now, whether it is singing skills or song quality, there are very few people who can surpass him, Lin Yunkai is now far away from He Xiao.
It is no exaggeration to say that among the singers I know, except for the cheap uncle Zhang Juncheng who picked up, and Zhang Ya, who is close to him, He Xiao has never scared anyone.
Even Li Shengxin, who has the name of a Korean singer, He Xiao only relied on a song "Kiss Goodbye" to crush him.
And now, after the godfather-level figure made a move, He Xiao felt an obvious gap for the first time.
"Sure enough, there are people outside the human world...... The level of entertainment in this world is not much worse than that of a black mobile phone, how many old monsters in the music world have not come out of the mountain?"
Looking at Quan Xiaoren, who was performing on the stage, and Zhang Juncheng, who was always watching indifferently on the side of the stage, He Xiao's heart involuntarily sounded the alarm bell.
He realized that he still didn't work hard enough, and if he wanted to reach the top of the entertainment industry step by step and become famous at home and abroad, he had to defeat these seniors one by one, otherwise how could he be qualified to enter the Global Performing Arts Hall of Fame?
If you want to reach the top of the Asian music scene and enter the international music scene, it is not enough to rely on Isabella's trophy.
Maybe he needs a bigger opportunity to use as a springboard.
Silently thinking in his heart, Quan Xiaoren's performance on the stage is also over, the steady typhoon, the orderly atmosphere, and the divine arrangement are all surprising, where is this still a fifty-year-old bad old man, who is clearly full of Han Fan's charming uncle.
"Ah, Brother Juncheng, did my performance make you a little dumbfounded? If you want to admit defeat, you can do it now!"
Quan Xiaoren walked off the stage, and the pair of sharp eyes glanced at Zhang Juncheng, and the meaning of the challenge was self-evident.
As the godfather of a generation, if he doesn't make a move, he will do it, and once he does, he must achieve his goal and produce results, and he is destined to divide the winner and reshuffle the situation in today's Asian music scene.
"Lao Zhang!"
Many singers in the Chinese music scene panicked, and even the big brother in the mainland, Xie Yan, who has a national team-level singing skill, also showed strong worries at this time, the Chinese music scene has just stabilized, and it is difficult to withstand the twists and turns.
Zhang Juncheng still had a faint smile, he stood up, his height of 1.8 meters was like a mountain in front of Quan Xiaoren, looking down at this old opponent who was chasing the pinnacle of glory in the Asian music scene with him when he was young, and suddenly burst out with a strong confidence and aura, and said:
"Jeon Hyo-in, 20 years ago, you defeated me at the Asian Music Festival, and I won all the best lyrics, composition, and singer awards, do you think you can get back to the venue today?"
A dusty past was told, and there was an uproar at the scene, and Quan Xiaoren's face sank a little.
The Asian Music Festival is a very influential event in the world of He Xiao, jointly organized by several well-known awards in Asia, held every six years, each session is a gathering of heroes, competing for the highest honor in the field of music.
Twenty years ago, Zhang Juncheng, who reached the top of the Hong Kong music scene, was nominated for the three most prestigious awards of the festival together with Quan Xiaoren, who has not yet become a godfather-level figure, and a well-known Japanese love singer Hanesa Kohei.
The final result is self-evident, Zhang Juncheng relied on an album released that year to directly win three awards, standing out among many nominees, which was the most glorious moment for the entire Chinese music scene in Asia.
It was also at that time that the Hong Kong media worshipped him as the god of songs, and then the title gradually spread, and it has been used to this day.
When the past was brought up, Quan Xiaoren was obviously a little stimulated, he snorted, didn't pay attention to Zhang Juncheng anymore, and just waited for his performance.
The mouth cannon is strong, and you have to have real skills.
"Teacher, I'm finally going to hear your singing again, come on, let me see how much you still have in the past. β
Zhang Juncheng opened his voice, which was undoubtedly exciting, and Chiyo Guyi's eyes burst with light, and he muttered to himself in his heart.
The countless media present also had green eyes and pointed their cameras at the stage.
After Zhang Juncheng stood in the center of the stage, the scene was quiet, and the sound was almost inaudible, which was the least respect for a generation of singers.
The lights dimmed one after another at this time, and bursts of melodious melodies sounded, which was a very simple tune, not as fancy as the current music.
Everyone at the scene seemed to calm down at this moment, which was a completely different reaction from listening to Jeon Hyo-in's performance.
He Xiao listened to the tactful and long prelude, and a trace of familiarity rose in his heart, and he stared at the stage without blinking.
Above, the singer looked into the distance with clear eyes, holding the microphone in his hand and gently swaying to the melody, about thirty seconds later, he finally opened his mouth and sang the first lyrics.
"Let the cold wind gently blow the sunset. β
"I'm used to thinking about her every cold night. β
She was far away, and she could understand it at this moment. β
"This love is in my heart, and I always remember it. β
As soon as Zhang Juncheng spoke, the scene was suffocated.
What kind of sound is this?
It's natural!
The calm breath, the sad singing, the fluent and standard Cantonese pronunciation, almost every word and sentence, are knocking on the depths of everyone's hearts.
"Sensei......" Chiyo Yai's breathing began to increase imperceptibly, her eyes glowing with an indescribable light, staring at the figure on the stage that was infinitely radiant at this time.
And He Xiao was shocked more than anyone else at this time, because he had already heard the origin of this song, which was the classic work of the god of song in parallel time and space, "Distant Her"!
This song, from the beginning of the melody sounded, He Xiao felt familiar, when Zhang Juncheng spoke, he immediately confirmed his idea, it is the classic and long-lasting song in the black phone.
It's just that the song sung by Zhang Juncheng is slightly different from the song by Zhang Geshen in the black mobile phone, and the lyrics have changed, such as the first sentence "Let the evening breeze gently blow the sunset" has become "Let the cold wind gently blow the sunset".
The melody and vocals have also been slightly changed, but despite this, they have at least reached eighty percent similarity.
He Xiao doesn't know what the principle is, it must be the similarity of the parallel world, after all, the so-called parallel world is just based on a certain side of the copy, the two never intersect, each has its own culture, customs, but in some aspects, it is incomparably the same.
"Far away, she can't go home again. β
"I always had her in my heart. β
"Far away, she can know the concern in my heart. β
"Enthusiasm hasn't changed, no matter how vicissitudes it has changed. β
"Hahaha~~~~~~~~"
The song has reached its most emotional part, and all the instruments burst out in unison, weaving together this natural note that belongs to them.
And Zhang Juncheng's treble part is also handled extremely delicately, even if it is not much better than when he was young, there is no key drop at all, and there is no trace of the situation that the body can't bear it, and it is so easy that it is scary.
Many singers at the scene are amazed, it is rare to be able to sing at this level at the age of fifty-seven, because they are not young anymore, and now they are singing songs from their youth, and they have obviously felt that it is difficult, the treble can't keep up, and the bass can't come down, which is a common problem.
"This old boy actually deceived us too! I'm really worried about him in vain!" Lin Yunkai looked angry, but at the same time he was happy.
He Xiao saw Lao Lin's appearance, he was a little crying and laughing, Xiao Wangnian said very seriously: "Senior Lin, it's normal that you can't sing, after all, the body conditions are here, but you can't think that Senior Zhang is not good, people's body is well-proportioned and shapely, and they usually pay attention to exercise at a glance, and their breath is stable!"
"Go to the side!" Lin Yunkai saw that someone was making fun of his figure again, and his beard suddenly flew away, especially Xiao Wangnian's face was full of seriousness, and he couldn't see the meaning of ridicule at all, so he was even more shocked.
β¦β¦
The other side.
As Zhang Juncheng took the stage and proved himself with his strength, everyone already understood that the former god of song was still not ready to retire.
"Zhang Ge's divine treasure knife is not old!"
"His control over music is incomprehensible. β
"Unbelievable, he is fifty-seven years old this year, how many years can he shelter the Chinese music scene?"
"Perhaps...... Until someone comes along to replace him. β
The sound of shock sounded one after another in the corner tower of the cafΓ©, and almost everyone was amazed by Zhang Juncheng's self-certification, and singers of other nationalities also had different reactions.
For example, the Indian singer, he didn't speak, because he has always been difficult to eat in the Asian market, his goal is focused on the European and American music scene, and Chiyo Guyi has a completely different reaction, her eyes are not as sad as she imagined, but a kind of happiness and happiness, it seems that Zhang Juncheng's level is still a good thing.
Or to put it more clearly, Zhang Juncheng is her goal and the driving force to move forward, and before Zhang Juncheng falls, she will work harder to cultivate her talent in music.
Li Shengxin was stunned, he was one round younger than Zhang Juncheng, he was only in his thirties this year, but Zhang Juncheng was almost sixty, so he had never heard of Zhang Juncheng's scene.
At this time, the other party spoke, and the word came into his ears, and he realized how naΓ―ve he was, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the scene of a generation of singers was better than CD.
In addition, the song "Distant Her" was originally a classic among the classics, although it only appeared for the first time in this world, but in the parallel world in the black mobile phone, it has been tested by the market for decades, and it is the same as "Kiss Goodbye", which belongs to one of the few works that the god of song is proud of.
In that world, the original song of "Far Her" is "Romantic Railway" released by Shinji Tanimura in 1985, the original lyrics express that the author is wandering alone on the platform of an unknown train station, looking at the heavy snow, and the thinking triggered by the left and right sides of the railway has nothing to do with love, while the Cantonese version is written by Hong Kong lyricist Pan Yuanliang, under the very infectious voice of Jacky Cheung, it deduces a different taste, giving the song a sad love story and giving the song a new soul.
This song has won the Golden Melody Award for the Top Ten Powerful Songs in Xiangjiang, and has been circulating in the Chinese music scene for decades and has endured.
The media reporters from all over the world in the audience were already stunned.
Today's birthday banquet is definitely unique, He Xiao sang a song "Kiss Goodbye", Zhang Juncheng sang a song "Distant Her", both are classics, domineering and leaking to the world to prove the strength of the Chinese music scene.
It is still a leader to be denied in Asia!
