Chapter 317: The Hill
"Thank you Xiao Yao and "Immortals" for the wonderful performance they brought us, or I should remove Xiao Yao's name and just thank "Immortals"!" After Xiao Yao left the venue with the four band members, the host Ke Jun returned to the stage to continue his hosting work, and opened his mouth to laugh as if teasing Xiao Yao.
"Phew~"
From the moment the host recited the advertising words at the beginning, Ke Jun seemed to be not very good with Xiao Yao. Hearing Ke Jun say this, some boos rang out in the audience.
"Don't shush, everyone!" Ke Jun waved his hand and said, "The reason I say this is that, as far as I know, Xiao Yao is still a member of the band "Immortals", which everyone can also see from their clothes just now. ”
"Oh~" The audience made a sudden sound.
"By the way, that light suit on them is cool," Ke Jun gave a thumbs up, and then smirked, "I have one too!"
"Phew~" The boos rang out again.
Something similar to Xiao Yao had already done once before when he participated in "Quick Book". Ke Jun could understand Xiao Yao's intentions, so he helped push it again when he was hosting.
Whether it was complaining about Xiao Yao's absence from the recent express book in the singer's rest hall before, or complaining about Xiao Yao's way of reading advertising words at the beginning, these were all deliberately pretended by Ke Jun for the sake of the effect of the show, and he didn't really have any opinions about Xiao Yao. On the contrary, he is also looking forward to more cooperation with Xiao Yao, an obviously promising young star, in the future. This kind of easy help will not be let go of what can be done. Of course, like Xiao Yao, the advertisement for this help is also more vague, and does not directly mention the name of Xiao Yao's personal brand, so that the sponsors of the show can't find fault.
helped Xiao Yao push a wave of brand advertising, and Ke Jun also returned to the normal flow of the show and began to introduce the next singer.
According to the ranking of the first round, the next singer to appear is Qin Xiaodong. After Xiao Yao's original new song, Qin Xiaodong, who appeared next, made the same choice as the previous singers, and brought a piece of his previous masterpiece to the audience.
The style of the song is campus folk, and although there are some arrangements and soundtracks for tonight's live performance on the final stage, the overall style of the song has not changed. After the audience became extremely excited because of Xiao Yao's very burning rock song, Qin Xiaodong, who appeared next, also used this folk song to calm down the emotions of the audience quickly.
This is a work more than ten years ago, and it is the title song of Qin Xiaodong's first solo album when he debuted as a campus singer, which is not only a masterpiece, but also his famous song. In addition to once again showing the quiet and gentle power of his singing voice with this song that is very in line with his usual image, Qin Xiaodong also used this song to present a "memory kill" to the audience! Judging from the expressions of the audience after listening to it, Qin Xiaodong's performance obviously hit the hearts of the audience.
After Qin Xiaodong's performance, the next singer to appear on the stage was Xiao Yao's father Xiao Siqi's turn.
"The next singer to bring you a new song!" Ke Jun said with a smile after thanking Qin Xiaodong for his performance, "This song is still not written by himself." ”
"Oh?" the audience looked puzzled again.
"I know you're already guessing who the author of this song is," Ke Jun said with a smile, but he didn't clear the audience's confusion, and changed his tone, "I won't introduce the author of this song." We are a competition to sing a program, not a competition to write a song. Since it's not a song written by the singer himself, it doesn't matter to you. Next, please enjoy the new song brought to you by Xiao Siqi, "The Hills"!"
", it won't be another song written by Xiao Yao, right?"
"Eighty percent is, Xiao Siqi was originally a singer-songwriter and rarely sang other people's songs. can be used to sing in the finals, except for his son, there should be no one else. ”
"Not necessarily, Mr. Shen Yinan is Xiao Siqi's teacher, and now he is a person from Xiao Siqi's studio, maybe it's Shen Lao's song. This is the final, can Xiao Yao's song be more stable than Shen Lao's?"
"What's wrong with the finals? Xiao Yao's songs are not worthy of being sung in the finals? There are three new songs of Xiao Yao in the finals tonight. ”
"If it was written by Xiao Yao, why didn't Ke Jun say it?"
"Are you afraid that the audience will vote for Xiao Siqi for Xiao Yao? Ke Jun also specially said that this is a show that is more than singing and not more than writing songs!"
Although Ke Jun said that he would not introduce the author of the song, it was inevitable to guess the author of the last song in Xiao Siqi's show on the Internet, and even the audience at the scene couldn't help but mutter. However, whether it was the discussion of netizens on the Internet or the muttering in the hearts of the audience, they all stopped when Ke Jun left the stage and the lights came on the stage.
The lights above the stage are lit up, and the scene on the stage is displayed in front of the audience. On the slightly empty stage, only Xiao Siqi sat on a chair with an acoustic guitar in his arms, and a standing microphone stand stood in front of him.
Xiao Siqi wore a simple, even slightly wrinkled blue denim shirt, gray slacks, and black slacks. The guitar in my hand is not only ordinary, but also looks very old, although it looks very well maintained, but it is inevitable that some mottled traces of age can be seen from the color of the cabinet. In addition to costumes and guitars, Xiao Siqi's makeup has also changed a lot, and he has long lost the handsome image he had when he sang with Ye Jiaying in the first round, and his originally exquisitely groomed hair fell on his head casually, and a few strands of gray hair that I don't know if they had been highlighted or not.
"Damn, Xiao Siqi also played and sang by himself, but how did he become like this?" The audience who saw Xiao Siqi on the stage was surprised in their hearts, and they didn't care to guess who the author of his song was.
Everyone knows that Xiao Siqi can play musical instruments, and Xiao Yao has publicly said more than once that he learned to play musical instruments from his father Xiao Siqi, but Xiao Siqi rarely performs live performances and sings when he performs. Xiao Yao has played musical instruments in so many episodes of this show, which has caused countless topics, but Xiao Siqi, as Xiao Yao's musical instrument teacher, has only played a handpiece with Xiao Yao once in one episode. Seeing Xiao Siqi appear holding the guitar and looking like he was going to play and sing by himself, many viewers' first reaction was to feel surprised, but when they saw Xiao Siqi's style and dress, the audience was only surprised, but not happy.
"I wanted to say it but I haven't said it yet~"
Through a song by Qin Xiaodong, the audience's emotions and moods brought by Xiao Yao's rock song have long calmed down, and now due to the surprise of Xiao Siqi's appearance, the environment at the scene is very quiet. In this unusually quiet environment, Xiao Siqi approached the microphone in front of him without warning, and spoke like a chat.
said that there was no warning, because the band on the scene did not start to accompaniment, and Xiao Siqi himself did not pluck the guitar strings in his hand, if it were not for the obvious vicissitudes of life in the voice of Xiao Siqi's sentence, and the rhythm was also very rhythmic, many viewers would wonder if Xiao Siqi was chatting with the audience before the performance began.
After this recitation, Xiao Siqi plucked the strings of the guitar and continued to sing as if chanting:
"There's a lot~"
The guitar sounded, and after the first sentence was sung, the flavor of the whole song began to be stronger, but this kind of singing method is really rare for the audience in this world.
"I saved it because I wanted to write a song~"
"Let people sing softly ~ faintly remember ~"
"Even if I finally forgot it~, it's worth it~"
This is a singing that seems to have no skills, and it sounds like Xiao Siqi is simply "speaking" or "reading" the lyrics. It stands to reason that this kind of singing should have made people feel relatively bland, but with Xiao Siqi's magnetic voice full of vicissitudes and texture, the audience feels a special attractive taste when they listen to it.
"Maybe I'll have a trickle of thoughts in my life~"
"Luck into a river~"
"Then we each end ~ looking at the bend of the river ~"
"Finally dare to be bold~ hippie smiling face~ face~ the difficulties of life~"
"Wow~" Hearing this, a small sigh also sounded in the audience.
Although so far, there is still only a thin guitar sound in the accompaniment, the audience did not feel the slightest dullness and boredom, but gradually sank into Xiao Siqi's singing, and was completely captured by Xiao Siqi on the stage, and many audiences have already felt the extraordinaryness of this song.
"Maybe we never mature~"
"I haven't known yet, I'm getting old~"
"Although the young man is still alive in his heart~"
"I look back frequently because I am uneasy~"
"Ignorant pleading, ashamed to ask for help~"
"Tirelessly climb ~every hill~"
Hearing this, some viewers seemed to understand why Xiao Siqi on the stage appeared with such an image. Xiao Siqi has always been a relatively pure musician, rarely appearing on TV shows, and later after opening a studio with Ye Jiaying, there are fewer opportunities to appear on TV. Most of the audience's deepest impression of Xiao Siqi is still the unreliable father who has no musical talent to say on "Where Are You Going, Dad" more than ten years ago, but has low living ability.
He gives people the impression that he does seem to be a little "immature", and he has always been a "young man" in his heart, but after all, more than ten years have passed, and his son has grown up and can stand on the same stage to PK with him, and he is indeed "about to get old". More than 20 years since his debut, step by step to the present, whether it is his emotional life, children's education, or his own career, he has indeed crossed a lot of "hills"! Some people even associate the previous sentence "Maybe the trickle of my life will become a river, and then we will look at the bend of the river at one end" to the head of Xiao Siqi's wife who died unexpectedly and Xiao Yao's biological mother Chen Zilin.
"Over the hills~Although the head is white~"
"Chatter~The sorrow that I don't give ~"
"Before you see immortality as you wish, you will lose yourself first!"
"Over the hill ~ only to find that no one is waiting~"
"Chatter~ I can't call back tenderness~"
"Why can't I remember, last time, who gave the hug, and when~"
However, this is obviously not a song in which Xiao Siqi sings about himself, or not just sings about himself. The song entered the chorus, and the soundtrack was not richer, but Xiao Siqi's singing had a small explosion, as if it was sung in the lyrics, and it felt like reaching a certain height and climbing over a hill. But also because of the lyrics, the audience did not think about Xiao Siqi's life anymore, but remembered themselves. Although Xiao Siqi has experienced the ups and downs of life in the first half of his life, he is now a happy family and a successful career, and he definitely can't talk about "sorrow", "lose himself" and "no one waiting"!
A song, a performance, the audience can listen to the song from remembering the singer's experience to resonating with their own experience, this song, this performance, is definitely very successful.
"I didn't mean to hide it, and I didn't intend to make you sentimental!"
"How many times have we been drunk and unhappy, cursing that life is too short, sighing and hating late~"
"Let the woman put on her makeup and cry, and it doesn't matter!"
Entering the main song part of the second paragraph, with the progression of emotional expression and sense of power in Xiao Siqi's singing, especially when hearing the word "you" in "I don't intend to make you sentimental", the whole song seems to have changed from Xiao Siqi's emotional monologue to a dialogue with the audience, and the audience's sense of resonance is even stronger. Some viewers even shook their heads slightly in their hearts and sighed: "How can such a song full of life insights be said to be not "sentimental" if it is not "sentimental"?"
"It's a pity that we never mature~"
"I haven't been able to know it yet~I'm already old~"
"I tried my best but still didn't understand the young people around me~"
"Find a reason for yourself casually, tease your love, the influence of fate, and fight back unexpectedly, until you die!"
In the second half of the main song, Xiao Siqi's singing voice also became more and more powerful, and the lyrics made the audience feel more and more heartbroken.
"Over the hills~Although the head is white~"
"Chatter~The sorrow that I don't give ~"
"Before you see immortality as you wish, you will lose yourself first!"
"Over the hill ~ only to find that no one is waiting~"
"Chatter~ I can't call back tenderness~"
"Why can't I remember, last time, who gave the hug, and when~"
After the end of the second main song, Xiao Siqi sang the chorus that entered the second section without pause. And with Xiao Siqi's fierce guitar strumming, the drum kit sounded, and the magnificent strings also joined the accompaniment of the song, and the whole song officially ushered in a big climax.
"Wow~" Under the accompaniment of this magnificent soundtrack, the realm of the whole song has also been significantly improved, and Xiao Siqi's voice with a full sense of vicissitudes and power has a greater psychological impact on the audience.
Some audience members stood up from their seats with red eyes and excited expressions, and silently gave Xiao Siqi a standing ovation. Unlike the standing ovation of some of the audience in previous performances, most of the audience who stood up this time were older in the 40+ and 50+ age groups, and they didn't cheer or scream when they stood up. Yes, only heartfelt applause!
"Over the hills~Although the head is white~"
"Chatter~The sorrow that I don't give ~"
"Before you see immortality as you wish, you will lose yourself first!"
"Over the hill ~ only to find that no one is waiting~"
"Chatter~ I can't call back tenderness~"
"Why can't I remember, last time, who gave the hug, and when~"
After a string-based interlude, Xiao Siqi sang the chorus of the song again, and under the background of the increasingly strong strings, Xiao Siqi's singing voice gave people more and more shock. Such a song that can make people empathize, look back on their own lives, and then feel something, think about it, and feel something, has also conquered more and more audiences at the scene. Gradually, the audience in the two oldest age groups all stood up, and some in the 30+ age group also began to stand up. And the 20+ and 10+ two age groups with less life experience and slightly lower feelings, many viewers who felt "unconscious" also stood up.
