Chapter 116: The New Concubine is Drunk
"When I'm Gone" is a lyrical rock song, and in the eyes of some people, lyrical rock is not even rock, but just a little rock to play some light songs. Chen Huanxuan, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", chose such a song as a song that is very suitable for Fan Linxuan, because she is not a singer who is good at singing rock songs. This song can not only use the incomparable musical expression of the live rock band to drive the emotions of the audience, but also avoid the voice out of control because of singing too high like Xu Yuan in the last game, and at the same time it fits Fan Linxuan's voice characteristics and vocal range, which shows that Chen Huan has indeed put a lot of thought into it.
Of course, Chen Huan's thoughts were not in vain. Judging from the performance of the audience, Fan Linxuan's song touched a lot of live audiences, and even Xiao Yao, who was preparing for makeup in the dressing room backstage, had to sigh in his heart again after listening to Fan Linxuan's singing scene played on the TV in the room: "Lyrical rock is really more moving than simple love songs in ordinary pop music." ”
After the more than four-minute performance, many people in the audience were sung by Fan Linxuan to stand up. The applause and shouts were also impressive.
After hearing this, the four instructors also shook their heads and applauded. Even if you don't talk about the live expressiveness of the rock band, just as far as the part of Fan Linxuan singing just now, the four mentors feel that it is already impeccable. It seems that Fan Linxuan wants to go all out to fight for the votes in the first round, and wants to try to widen the gap with the other three players in the first round. Anyway, in the eyes of Yu Qing and Yi Kun, their students' first round of songs should not be able to compete with Fan Linxuan, so I don't know how Xiao Yao's first song performed. Listening to Shen Na's meaning just now, Xiao Yao's most powerful song seems to be placed in the first round?
After Fan Linxuan and her three teammates stepped down the stage in greeting, the lights above the stage dimmed again. The audience could see that a staff member had removed several instruments from the stage, and then something had been brought up. Unlike the instruments of Fan Linxuan's band just now, all the things that were carried by the staff this time were placed at the back of the stage.
Seeing that people sat next to the musical instruments or sat on the chairs with the instruments, the audience who felt that they had finished the preparation was looking forward to Xiao Yao's debut, but after waiting for four or five minutes, Xiao Yao was not seen on the stage, and the audience couldn't help but whisper.
Just as everyone was about to make a noise, the lights on the stage went out completely, and the stage suddenly fell into darkness, and even the figures on the stage could not be seen.
"It's over, looking at it like this, Xiao Yao is definitely going to be a moth again. Yu Qing smiled bitterly, "Every time he plays tricks, I am both nervous and excited." ”
Some of the audience who were impatient and ready to coax listened to Yu Qing's words, suppressed the boos on their lips, and looked at the stage patiently and curiously.
After more than ten seconds, the lights on the stage turned on, although the brightness was not high, but the audience could see the scene on the stage clearly.
The stage structure of the studio is a rectangular stage at the back, followed by a semicircle in front. The auditorium is also a semi-circular stage with a semi-circle around the front end. In the past, the performance area was basically on the semi-circular stage in front. Everyone can watch the performance on stage from different angles. And this time, when the lights came on, everyone noticed that all the people and objects on the stage were concentrated on the rectangular stage in the second half. The entire band, including Xiao Yao, who appeared on the stage, was shrunk at the back, and everyone could basically only see them from one direction in front.
After the lights were turned on, Xiao Yao appeared on the stage so suddenly, and the audience didn't see how Xiao Yao came out at all. Even after coming out, Xiao Yao was very strange, he was dressed in white and white pants and did not face the audience in front of him, but stood sideways with an oval dark brown thing in his hand, leaving only the left half of himself to the audience, and the standing microphone was also placed in front of his side. Was he going to sing into the backstage aisle of the stage? Was his girlfriend standing there watching him?
Compared with the audience's attention to Xiao Yao, the mentors first paid attention to the live band.
"Wow, the battle is not small," Chen Huan counted the instruments on the stage and said: "Guzheng, pipa, Xiao, flute, Xiao Yao was not addicted to playing erhu last time, did he simply move a folk orchestra this time?"
"What is he holding in his hand? How can he stand so far away that he can't see clearly. Chen Huan asked Shen Na sideways.
"Oh, he's holding a xun in his hand, which is also a traditional musical instrument. Shen Na replied, "As for why you stand so far away, you will know after watching the performance." ”
"Not only the Chinese orchestra, but also the drums, electric guitars, and basses are also on stage, and he is going to play with folk music and Western instruments again. Yu Qing also said, "Yo, and the violin, huh? This time the violinist is not her girlfriend?"
"The violin was the main accompaniment instrument in the last song, there was a violin from beginning to end, Xiao Yao just pulled her girlfriend's, this time the weight is not much, Xiao Yao doesn't need his girlfriend to go out. Shen Na explained with a smile, "You also said that bringing a girlfriend up is to abuse a dog, why don't you abuse a dog and bring a girlfriend up?"
"Poof~" The audience was amused by Shen Na again.
"Next, please enjoy the "New Concubine Drunk" brought to us by Xiao Yao!" Chen Nan felt that the discussion of the mentors should be about the same, so he opened his mouth and announced.
""The Drunken Concubine" is a well-known Peking Opera repertoire, dare to call it "The New Concubine is Drunk"? It seems that this little guy has a lot of spirit, and this first song is really a big move. Chen Huan couldn't help but add.
"Woo~" Xiao Yao put the Xun in his hand to his mouth, approached the microphone and blew it. The simple and mellow, low and tragic timbre came together, and suddenly there was a desolate smell that filled the entire studio.
"Zheng~" Before the audience could feel this desolate taste, the sound of a guzheng sounded slightly abruptly, sandwiched in a coherent Xun sound, which suddenly gave this desolation a different taste.
Xun then blew a section, and Xiao Yao put Xun down. Then a continuous sound of the guzheng sounded, and then the sound of Xiao and the flute gradually joined, and with the sound of a drum, the pipa played the main theme instead of the guzheng, and the rhythm of the whole piece also increased. After a bar, the slightly violent timbre of the bass also begins to appear and merge with the lute, and the addition of the drum kit to control the rhythm gives a very peculiar soundtrack experience. Then the piccolo soared out a sound similar to Ma Xiao in a super high pitch, which suddenly gave people a feeling of shock in their hearts. Later, the electric guitar and violin were added.
The whole prelude adds up to more than forty seconds, such a wonderful prelude, so that Xiao Yao has not even opened his mouth to sing, it has already made the audience and tutors feel a huge shock in their hearts.
"The snowflakes of that year fell on the plum blossom branches, and there was too much sorrow left next to the Huaqing Pond that year, don't say who is who is wrong or right, I just want to get drunk with you again in my dreams~" Xiao Yao handed the Xun in his hand to the musician who was playing the guzheng on the side, and sang with one hand holding the microphone on the stand. It's just that in the process of singing, he never turned to face the audience.
"Sounds good!" was the audience's first feeling. is different from the songs Xiao Yao sang before, after singing a few sentences in this paragraph, the audience felt that Xiao Yao's voice singing this song was particularly clear and clean, and there was a particularly gentle taste in his voice. Although Xiao Yao was also very gentle when he sang "Courage" when he looked at Sun Tingting playing the violin before, that kind of gentleness was male, but in this song, although Xiao Yao sang a male voice, he gave people the feeling that he was as gentle as a woman like water.
"The gorse hairpin jade scratching my head is a gift you gave me, the neon clothes and feather clothes have been reincarnated for you to sing and dance for you, the sword gate is your deep miss for me, Ma Weipo is willing to break the soul for true love~" Xiao Yao continued to sing.
The audience who heard this also had a little understanding, it turned out that the entire lyrics were described from a woman's perspective, no wonder Xiao Yao sang so tenderly. But this is obviously supposed to be a song sung by women, why did Xiao Yao sing this? How did he write it from a woman's perspective? Of course, the audience who thinks this way basically ignores that the song is called "The New Concubine is Drunk".
Although it has little to do with Peking Opera's "The Drunken Concubine", it is really the story of Yang Guifei, no wonder it is called "The New Concubine is Drunk". Chen Huan nodded and said secretly in his heart. Xiao Yao's voice is clear and clean, and he is not a rap to sing, Chen Huan, who likes to pay attention to the lyrics of Xiao Yao's songs, naturally listened to the lyrics of this song clearly, and he also knew a lot about history, and when he heard the words Huaqingchi and Ma Weipo, he naturally knew that these lyrics were written from the perspective of the character Yang Guifei. "It's just that, although the word is well written, but he made such a big band battle, if it is just like this, it seems a little untasteful. Chen Huan shook his head with some regret, "Look at what his chorus looks like." ”
After singing the main song, Xiao Yao took down the wireless microphone on the stand with his left hand, and as a sharp flute sounded again in the interlude, Xiao Yao pinched the microphone and turned around, revealing his right half of his body to the audience, and at the same time sang the female voice with the Peking Opera Tsing Yi singing method learned from Mei Qingchang: "Love and hate are in an instant~ Raise a glass and look at the moon like the sky~ Love and hate are boundless~ Ask you when you will fall in love." The chrysanthemum platform reflects the bright moon ~ Who knows that my love is cold ~ drunk in the king's arms ~ dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty love ~"
"Oh my god, what is this?!" Seeing Xiao Yao turn around, countless viewers covered their heads in disbelief.
Xiao Yao, who turned around, was wearing a set of ancient women's clothes that are often seen on TV, in the white loose placket silk dress, you can see that the upper end of the purple cloth skirt below is directly to the chest, it seems... There was also a curvature on his chest, and something like a black cloth ribbon seemed to be still tied to the top half of the arc. From the part that the audience can see, this is obviously the costume of a noble lady in the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the big screen above the scene also released a close-up of half of Xiao Yao's face. I saw that on the right half of Xiao Yao's face, the skin was abnormally fair, the red lips, the pink eye shadow, the eyebrows had become very thin, and the hair was wavy and attached to the forehead.
Looking at Xiao Yao on the stage again, it is normal to hold the microphone in his left hand, but with his singing, his right hand is also moving like Danjiao singing on the stage, and from time to time the orchid fingers are not to be said, and even the whole body is bent and twisted as if there are no bones in line with the lyrics.
And the three mentors except Shen Na all looked straight at this time. Even Shen Na, who had watched Xiao Yao's practice and rehearsal, kept shaking her head with a smile on her face at the moment.
After the chorus of the Jingyun section is sung, a very intense electric guitar sound sounds. Xiao Yao also turned around again, revealing his left body in ordinary casual men's clothes, installed the microphone on the microphone stand, and began to sing the second title song.
It was only then that the audience seemed to be awakened by the violent guitar sound, first looked at each other in disbelief, and saw from each other's eyes that they were not hallucinating just now, and then looked at Xiao Yao on the stage.
The main song of the second paragraph is exactly the same as the first paragraph, and the lyrics and tunes have not changed much, but the audience was shocked by Xiao Yao's female dance style and singing voice just now, and they haven't had time to reminisce, how can they still care about whether the second paragraph and the first paragraph are exactly the same. And it's better if it's the same, and they didn't feel like they had heard it the first time they heard it.
"It's coming again, it's coming again!" Hearing the end of Xiao Yao's main song, many viewers widened their eyes nervously and read in pieces, for fear of missing a picture.
Sure enough, after the main song ended, Xiao Yao took off the microphone again and turned around, showing the audience the ancient costume on his right again, and at the same time once again sang the Beijing rhyme of the chorus with Tsing Yi's singing voice.
This time, the audience was no longer stunned, and stood up directly from the audience, letting out applause and screams that almost toppled the ceiling of the studio.
"Your Majesty, let's have another drink~"
In the closing stages of the song, the entire soundtrack is left with only the sound of the flute and a few piano notes as the finale. And here, Xiao Yao put the sentence in the middle part of the old version at the end as the end of the vocal part.
"Have another drink? Do you want to sing this Peking Opera again later?" many viewers thought expectantly.
As a result, the sound of the whole band's instruments became less and less, and the sound became lower and lower, and then, the lights above the stage went out, and the whole stage fell into darkness again. (To be continued.) )
