Chapter 979: It's sweet if you don't sing
"The name of this new song is 'Just Love You'!"
Xiao Yao introduced the title of the song amid the cheers of the audience, waved his hand to pluck the strings of the guitar on his body, and played the prelude to the song.
“Yeah~Wohh~Yeah~lalalala~”
When the sound of the drum kit sounded in the prelude, Xiao Yao came to hum. After the humming ends, the song officially enters the main song.
"I've always wanted to say to you that you give me happiness that I can't think of, like an oasis to a desert. Say, you will always accompany me, be my roots and wings, let me fly, and have a nest to go back to~"
From the title of the song "I Love You", the audience knew that Xiao Yao's song must be another sweet love song of confession. Sure enough, when Xiao Yao's first lyrics were sung, many viewers were moved by the lyrics of Xiao Yao's song and even "sour".
It wasn't just the lyrics of the opening paragraph that moved and "soured" the audience. With Xiao Yao's singing, the audience found that the lyrics of the whole song were very "sour".
"I am willing, I can give everything and it will not be a pity", "Just together, watching the passage of time, remember the way we love each other", "I love you and love you, there are sorrows and joys, and there is meaning in your plainness", "I love you and love you, sweet and reassuring, that feeling is you", "Give everything to protect you", "Don't give up, don't leave, don't care how much wind and rain there is along the way", "Put it in the palm of your hand, and the brilliant happiness is all for you"...
Every lyric that appeared synchronously with Xiao Yao on the electronic screens above and behind the live stage made the audience feel the taste of love.
The song "I Love You" sung by Xiao Yao is a love song written and sung by Tao Zhe in his previous life, and he has won awards such as "Chinese Song of the Year" and "Top Ten Golden Melodies" in that world, which can be called a classic love song golden song. In this world, the effect is also very good.
The beautiful melody, Xiao Yao's gentle and magnetic singing voice, and of course, those affectionate lyrics and sentences, all made the audience intoxicated.
At the end of the song, the audience naturally gave warm applause again.
"Does it sound good?" Xiao Yao asked the audience below with a smile.
"That's good!" shouted the audience cooperatively.
"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and continued, "Sing a new song, and then sing an old song." ”
"The next song," Xiao Yao continued, "I remember seeing some netizens commenting that this song is a rare song in my work that was released directly on the album without first coming out of the live version." Here, I would like to correct this statement, in fact, this song also has a live version first, but the live version is not in China, but on the streets of the United States, and the English version is also sung. ”
When Xiao Yao said this, the main camera at the scene gave Sun Tingting a shot.
After singing the first two songs with Xiao Yao, Sun Tingting retreated to the area where the live band was located at the back, and temporarily became an accompaniment musician. When Xiao Yao sang "Perfect", Sun Tingting played the violin in the accompaniment. Although the lighting in the band area is dim and the audience can't see it very clearly, the effect of the camera approaching is different from the eyes of the audience under the stage. In the preview screen of the camera, you can clearly see Sun Tingting showing a knowing smile.
The audience of this show is very close to the stage, and the big screen behind and above the stage is only used for two purposes: showing a special background to set off the atmosphere of the scene and displaying lyrics, and it will not cut the close-up picture of the performers on the stage from the camera.
"What song?" The audience didn't see Sun Tingting on the big screen, and without this prompt, many people began to think about what the English song that Xiao Yao introduced was sung on the street abroad.
"Today here, of course, I still sing the Chinese version for everyone. Xiao Yao didn't sell the guanzi for the audience to guess, and directly revealed, ""Love has to be given to everyone!"
"Oh~" The audience below cheered.
"Listen to the English version!" shouted an audience member amidst a cheer.
The Chinese version of this song "Love Must Be Done" was included in the double CD album released after Xiao Yao participated in the "Singer" program. Because Xiao Yao's performance in the "Singer" program was very amazing, Xiao Yao's popularity in participating in the show had not subsided when the album was released, and the sales of the double CD album were quite good. As the only "new song" on the album, Xiao Yao's fans are still familiar with this song.
Xiao Yao's album was the Chinese version of the song, and fans had heard the Chinese version, and many fans didn't even know that there was an English version of the song before. After hearing Xiao Yao's introduction, many audience members felt that they wanted to hear Xiao Yao sing the English version they had not heard. As an audience at the scene, what everyone thinks, they shouted out.
"The English version is just that the lyrics are different!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "The melody is the same! There are already a lot of English songs to be sung tonight, this one is still singing the Chinese version!"
"No matter!" shouted a young girl in the front row of the stage, "I haven't heard the English version, I want to listen to it!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yao thought for a moment and nodded, "Then sing half in English and half in Chinese!"
"Wow~ Xiao Yao actually compromised!" some of the audience members were surprised in their hearts.
Xiao Yao rarely changes because of the fans' requests. Even if it's only half compromised, it's a rare thing for the audience. Immediately, there was a louder cheer.
Xiao Yao's right hand waved, and a familiar melody sounded, and the audience quickly quieted down.
Xiao Yao said that English and Chinese sang half each, that is, the song was divided into two, the first main song and chorus in the first paragraph were sung in English, and the second main song and chorus were sung in English.
This "Love Must Be Done" is one of the most widely circulated songs of Harlem Yu Chengqing in the previous life, Xiao Yao went to the street outside the Chambers Conservatory of Music to sing to Sun Tingting to listen to the English version translated by himself. Although the English version of this song was not officially released, Xiao Yao did not forget the English version of the lyrics translated at that time.
In the first half of the English part, Xiao Yao sang the same English lyrics as he sang to Sun Tingting on the street outside the Chambers Conservatory. Sun Tingting listened in the back, and also recalled the scene of the year, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a smile again, causing a camera at the scene to pull Sun Tingting closer again and give her facial expression a big close-up.
After singing the song, the audience still gave applause and cheers without hesitation.
"Thank you. After Xiao Yao thanked the audience as usual, he said into the microphone, "Next, it's a new song!"
"And new songs? Is this going to be an old song and a new song in turn?" thought to the audience, "Isn't it true that half of the songs tonight are new songs?"
After the previous song "Just Love You", the audience's sense of surprise at Xiao Yao's new song has decreased a lot. After all, Xiao Yao has always been known as a "musical genius", and since there is more than one new song tonight, the difference between two new songs and three new songs is not very big for them.
It's just that the performance arrangement of this new song and old song makes everyone a little excited and looking forward to it. If this is the case, it means that Xiao Yao will sing a lot of new songs tonight. Of course, the audience who thinks like this just remembers that Xiao Yao seems to often talk about new songs and old songs tonight, so they will have the feeling that new songs and old songs are performed in turn, and they don't notice that the previous "The Most Beautiful" and "Perfect" are two old songs in a row.
"I want to ask first, are there any friends from Guangdong Province on the scene today? Do you know Cantonese?" Xiao Yao did not directly start to introduce the new song, but looked at the audience and said, "Please raise your hand if you know Cantonese!"
"Huh, it can't be a Cantonese song, right?" The audience was a little puzzled by Xiao Yao's sudden question, but some people still raised their hands very cooperatively.
"Not much!" Xiao Yao looked at the few arms raised sporadically, frowned slightly, and continued, "For the next new song, I have two versions of the lyrics in Chinese and Cantonese. Personally, I prefer the Cantonese version of the lyrics, and I want to sing Cantonese more, but there don't seem to be many people who know Cantonese on the scene!"
"Oh~" The audience was stunned, and then someone shouted, "Sing each of the two versions!"
"Not good!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "The lyrics of this song are a bit sweet, and I don't want to give some people double the stimulation." ”
"Wow~" There was a burst of boos at the scene, and some audience members shouted, "Which song are you singing tonight that is not sweet?"
"Okay," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Actually, I think it's stupid to sing a song with the same melody twice, even if the lyrics are different!"
"Sing half of each!" shouted another.
"Still coming?" Xiao Yao smiled, then shook his head and said, "Not good!"
"I think it's okay, even if you don't understand Cantonese, you don't necessarily can't understand Cantonese songs, and there are lyrics on the scene!" Xiao Yao looked at the audience below and said, "That's it, if you want to listen to the Cantonese version, please raise your hand!"
There was a bang below and an arm was raised.
"There are more people raising their hands than not raising their hands!" Xiao Yao looked down and nodded with a smile, "Listen to everyone, I sing Cantonese!"
"Let those who want to listen to the Chinese version raise their hands, and there are more people who raise their hands than those who don't!" Sun Tingting, who was standing behind, complained in her heart, "This guy is too cunning! Obviously, he wants to sing Cantonese, so he has to listen to everyone's opinions!"
"The next new song, "Love You More Every Day" is for everyone!"
Xiao Yao said the name of the song, but did not start the performance immediately, but took off the acoustic guitar he was carrying from his back while turning around and walking to the area of the band behind him, and placed the removed acoustic guitar on a vacant guitar stand. While Xiao Yao walked back to play the guitar, Sun Tingting walked to the front of the stage, moved the microphone stand with the microphone used by Xiao Yao to the piano on the side of the stage, and adjusted the height and position of the microphone to the approximate height and position when Xiao Yao sat on the piano bench and sang.
"Oh~" The audience let out a huge cheer and scream.
Sun Tingting's actions indicate that Xiao Yao will play and sing the piano in the next song, but the audience cheered and screamed not because Xiao Yao was going to play the piano in the next song, but because Sun Tingting went to help Xiao Yao move and place the microphone stand and adjust the height position to prepare for Xiao Yao's performance.
"These two people are really tacit and considerate!" Many audience members sighed in their hearts, "Seeing them like this, it feels sweeter than listening to the songs they sing tonight!"
In the performance of this show, the staff will not go on stage without special circumstances, but most of the audience does not know this rule. When Sun Tingting sang "Lucky" with Xiao Yao earlier, Xiao Yao helped Sun Tingting move the microphone stand, and thoughtfully helped her adjust the height of the stand. Now Xiao Yao turned around to play the guitar, and Sun Tingting thoughtfully helped Xiao Yao prepare the microphone stand.
The actions of the two of them helping each other place and adjusting the microphone stand were very natural, not deliberate at all (Sun Tingting went back to the back band area after singing and took the microphone stand by herself, Xiao Yao didn't grab it), it seems that it is a matter of course to help each other do these things, without any special expressions or movements. Compared with the songs they sang tonight, it seems that the casual behavior of the two of them stimulates everyone more.
Sun Tingting seemed to know very well about the position Xiao Yao was used to sitting and the height at which she sat down, and walked back without waiting for Xiao Yao to come to the piano to sit down on the position and height of the microphone.
Xiao Yao put down the acoustic guitar and walked to the piano on the side of the stage, and only smiled at Sun Tingting when he staggered past her.
Because of the volume, the piano on the stage is placed on the side of the stage, but Xiao Yao is the performer, and his position is the center and focus of the stage. When Xiao Yao walked to the piano, the two spotlights above the stage adjusted the direction and angle at the same time, shining on the piano and Xiao Yao's position.
The audience could clearly see that after Xiao Yao sat on the piano bench next to the piano, the microphone on the microphone stand placed by Sun Tingting was indeed just a little in front of Xiao Yao's mouth, and the position was quite accurate.
After Xiao Yao sat down, he still didn't start immediately, but looked in the direction where Sun Tingting was. After Sun Tingting, who helped Xiao Yao get the microphone stand, walked back to the musician, she picked up the violin and rested it on her shoulder, held the bow in her right hand and lightly rested it on the strings, and also looked at Xiao Yao's direction. Seeing Xiao Yao's view, Sun Tingting smiled and nodded.
At this time, another follow-up light above the live stage lit up and shone on Sun Tingting in the musician area.
"Wow~" Seeing Sun Tingting appear in the pillar of light, the audience made some more calls.
Xiao Yao saw Sun Tingting nodding and pressed his fingers on the piano keys. At the same time as the piano sounded, Sun Tingting's right hand holding the bow also moved.
When Xiao Yao sang "Perfect" before, Sun Tingting also played the violin in the accompaniment. But the difference is that the violin sound in the song "Pefect" is not particularly prominent, and in this song "Love You More Every Day", there are only two instruments at the beginning of the prelude, the piano and the violin, and only some drum beats are added at the end, and the main instruments are still these two. This is also the reason why the on-site director deliberately gave Sun Tingting in the musician a spotlight at this time.
Looking at Xiao Yao playing the piano and Sun Tingting playing the violin in the two bright areas on the stage, even if Xiao Yao had not yet spoken, many of the audience had already been moved by them on the stage.
