Whether it is Chinese fans or foreign fans who come from thousands of miles away, the four beauty bands should be the most familiar performers everyone has seen at the opening ceremony of this World Cup.

Although every foreign fan and fan is seeing them for the first time, this can't stop them from being excited about the appearance of the four beauty bands.

Five people took the stage and stood still.

The applause and various shouts did not stop, but the four beauty bands did not speak.

This is obviously not your own concert, and you can communicate and talk to the audience at will.

Music.

There were a lot of binoculars in the audience at the scene, but the audience in front of the TV didn't have to work so hard, because the TV picture only stayed on Li Qian, who was holding the microphone stand and bowing his head for a moment, and soon transferred it to Wang Huaiyu - the Chinese audience is quite familiar, Wang Huaiyu is the all-rounder of the four beauty bands, Chinese and Western, and all kinds of instruments are very slippery.

At this time, he was playing an unknown instrument, and his voice was clear and ...... It's familiar.

With his tapping, the small bell in Liao Liao's hand was shaking rhythmically.

Like a camel bell.

Many audiences, especially domestic audiences, immediately reacted that this was the prelude to "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty".

Soon, Cao Zhan's bass cut in.

The applause and shouts of the audience finally began to fade away.

Everyone's attention was on the center of the stage.

Especially for fans like Isabel and others, they are simply trembling with excitement at this moment.

This is a bass show that has been unanimously regarded as a classic by the music circles in the East and the West after the release of the album "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" sold all over the world around the world!

High-pitched, passionate.

Standing on the stage of the opening ceremony of the World Cup at this moment, Cao Zhan closed his eyes tightly, his body shook and swayed slightly, biting his lip, and the bass in his hand was also swaying and shaking.

As a result, such a bass prelude, which has been well-known to fans around the world today, resounded in the "blue and white porcelain" stadium of more than 80,000 people.

At the same time, with the help of TV signals, it has been transmitted to more than one billion or even two billion people around the world.

At the highest tide, the bass came to an abrupt end.

The rhythm is shaky.

Wang Huaiyu played another musical instrument that everyone didn't know well.

Drum in.

Liao Liao is also fully engaged.

Bass in.

Electric guitars join in.

The camera cuts back to Li Qian's body - a familiar camera switch, in several concerts of the four major beauty bands not long ago, they once performed this work at Shuntian Station and Nanjing Station, and the live director of Huaxia TV at that time was cut like this.

Li Qian raised his head, expressionless-

"Chrysanthemum ancient sword and wine,

Brewed with coffee into the hustle and bustle of the pavilion,

Aliens worship the moon of the ancients at the Temple of the Sun,

The prosperity of Kaiyuan is fascinating!

The wind can't blow away the hatred,

Flowers, can't dye through the feud,

Snow, not reflecting mountains and rivers,

The moon can't fulfill the ancient dream.

Along the palm prints branded with fate,

Wake up tonight without dreams,

Walking into the myth of fate,

In my dream, I returned to the Tang Dynasty. ”

…………

A total of four tours in the previous month, a short break of ten days not long ago, and just two or three days ago, a few serious, completely formalized and normalized rehearsals were held, all of which made Li Qian's performance state at the peak of his time and space.

The stadium of more than 80,000 people, the world's top live sound equipment after modification, coupled with the excellent performance state of the entire band, and Li Qian's own top performance, and then, there is such a song that seems to be born for the scene, and only on the scene can it achieve its own maximum energy and the greatest appeal of the work, a heavy metal rock full of oriental charm and oriental humanistic color!

All these factors came together, and the result was that the entire National Stadium was completely shrouded by the performance of the four beauty bands, by Li Qian's voice, and by such a song at this moment!

After rock music was introduced to China, the Chinese also loved it very much, but the Chinese seem to prefer the lyrical and humanistic part of rock, light rock, pop rock, and even slow rock, in China have masterpieces that have spread all over the streets and alleys, among them, the early rock force led by the Flying Band, and some of Liao Liao's early works, plus many works since the debut of the four major beauty bands, all belong to this category.

But heavy metal music, even in the West, is not the mainstream of rock music, and in China, very few people can do it well, and gradually, even few people do it.

But I have to admit that once it is done, the charm and energy of heavy metal rock, especially the shocking power of live performances, are incomparable to other rock styles!

Rock is already a heavy weapon in all categories of pan-pop music, and metal rock is the most powerful of the heavy weapons!

Promoting Chinese culture externally, whether it is making Chinese movies or making Chinese music, in fact, Li Qian has always been cautious - from the eight Chinese songs that were stuffed into the two albums he made for Liao Liao before, to the three Chinese works stuffed into the last album of the four beauty bands, they were all in his mind I don't know how many times, they were all analyzed, thought, and entangled again and again before they were finally selected.

It can be said that a total of 11 Chinese works that have been promoted to the world before and after this have some common characteristics, that is, they must not only accurately and gorgeously show the beauty and characteristics of Chinese culture and the Chinese language itself, but also have a certain aesthetic taste that is universally accepted.

For example, Liao Liao's "Paradise" is a song that has been highly respected and loved by Western European and American music circles and fans since the album was released.

The simple and intense, intense but clear praise of his hometown, homeland, and the prairie, although the lyrics are simple, the melody is tactful and affectionate, which is not only rich in the traditional characteristics of Chinese music, but also makes fans in the non-Chinese-speaking cultural circle like it at first ear, is an important reason why the song is still regarded as a masterpiece of Liao Liao's non-English songs in the Western music scene.

Of course, Liao Liao's vast and unrestrained voice at that time, and sometimes playing with delicate voice, was also the most important thing - this is naturally needless to say.

And "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", in this album of the four major beauty bands, has a very heavy weight.

The first is that it is directly the album name used when the album was released in all Chinese-speaking cultural countries, and the second is that it is the most popular work in Europe and the United States and accepted by fans there among all the three Chinese songs on this album.

It can be regarded as a breakthrough work of the Chinese songs of the four major beauty bands in Europe and the United States!

Facts have proved that with the help of popular songs such as "The-Cup-of-life" and "We-will-rock-you", as well as the east wind of the World Cup, the album "The-Cup-of-life" released in the Western world quickly became popular, and the three Chinese works in the album have also achieved a certain degree of popularity, popularity, and even a small range of singing in Europe and the United States.

Among them, the most outstanding results, the best reputation, the widest spread, and the highest popularity are really this oriental masterpiece of heavy metal rock - "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty"!

Foreigners will definitely not understand the lyrics, although it can be seen from the translation in the lyrics book, but the translation between China and foreign countries, especially such lyrics full of oriental connotations, without their own understanding of ancient Chinese culture, it is difficult for foreign fans to understand the meaning of the lyrics of the song based on the literal meaning.

But, that's okay!

It's just this melody, it's just this kind of highly characteristic singing, it's just this kind of atmospheric style, as a rare heavy metal masterpiece, it is enough to impress Western fans.

Even a young fan like Isabel doesn't have an excessive love for heavy metal, but at least, when listening to the CD, she feels the temperament and charm conveyed by the whole song, which also makes her definitely not disgusted with such a heavy metal rock.

For a girl in her early twenties who has always lived in a clean psychological state, this kind of "not annoying" is already rare!

There will even be many Western fans, just because they like this song, they begin to turn to oriental culture, Chinese culture and Chinese characters according to the English interpretation written by Li Qian himself in the lyrics, and begin to study Chinese culture, history and civilization in their spare time.

What is the spread of Chinese culture, this is!

For example, in China, where there are not many Christians, everyone takes it for granted that Westerners believe in God, and it is the same - this is the brainwashing of the entire Western cultural and social system and aesthetic views on people in other parts of the world after two or three hundred years of Western culture.

And now, a rock masterpiece like "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", if you want to say that it has begun to brainwash Western fans, it is obviously too optimistic and too overestimating the energy of a song, but at least, it is a very good start!

Therefore, because this song has a unique oriental temperament, it has achieved a high degree of popularity, hearing and recognition in the Western music scene, making this song the most well-known Chinese work in the world by the four major beauty bands.

Needless to say, the audience in front of the TV set is not unfamiliar with this song, even for the tens of thousands of fans and fans who came from abroad at this time.

Of course, listening to the live is definitely the first time!

And as I said earlier, this song is the kind of work that feels absolutely explosive on the spot!

At this moment, as soon as the song started to be sung, Li Qian's expressionless cool appearance, and his emotional singing, coupled with the extremely excellent arrangement of the song itself, and the passionate performance of the four major beauty bands on the scene, all made it sing in the first paragraph after the start, and all the fans at the scene were shocked!

Especially the last sentence sung in this paragraph, the kind of high note that mixes true and false tones with certain Peking Opera recitation skills, a "dream back to the Tang Dynasty", soared directly into the sky, and countless people at the scene couldn't help but tremble!

At this moment, there is a feeling that the heavenly spirit cover is pierced by the singing!

Overpowered, cold hair towering for it!

…………

"The moon is reflected in the cup tonight,

Men and women weaving silk roads are busy,

The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,

Wuhua Tianbao is an outstanding person.

The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,

Paper-scented ink flying words are full of rivers,

The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,

Haojie is heroic. ”

…………

Not!

Explode directly!

That feeling of numbness in the scalp, that feeling of being overpowered, makes people subconsciously tighten their throats, and makes people shiver uncontrollably!

Then, one after another, the audience stared at the stage in the middle of the stadium, which they couldn't see very clearly, and looked at the singer on the stage who was calm and passionate!

Appearing in the close-up of the whole body of the TV screen, he is wearing an extremely clean, ironed angular white shirt, a pair of regular ordinary jeans underneath, a pair of scrub big scalp shoes under his feet, he has short hair, holds the microphone stand with both hands, and holds his head slightly high, describing handsome and clean temperament. But at this moment, because of his hard singing, his face looked white and red, and his neck would suddenly burst into bruises because of a certain action......

A calm and passionate singer.

…………

"The moon can't be reflected in the cup tonight,

Neon flashes and singing and dancing,

Just because of the incomplete story,

Mu Ran sings together, no one loses anything,

Along the palm prints branded with fate,

Wake up tonight without wine,

Walking into the myth of fate,

Dream back to the Tang Dynasty!"

…………

The camera lens skimmed over the auditorium.

At this moment, countless people's expressions were tense, extremely excited and excited.

Whether it is Chinese or foreigner.

To tell the truth, although this song has been widely circulated in the Western world in the past three or four months, I have the time, the energy, and the love of it, so I am willing to delve into the meaning and meaning behind this song, and even fans who are willing to study Chinese culture for it.

In other words, in fact, among the tens of thousands of foreign fans present at the scene, even if more than half have heard this song, it is estimated that there will not be so many who like this song, and even fewer who like this song and have deliberately done it in depth.

Even, at least more than half of the foreigners, even if they have heard and liked this song, but until now, they have not understood the lyrics and do not know what is being sung in the song!

But, that's okay!

That's when the charm of music comes into full play!

There are lyrics, there are tunes, there are arrangements, it is music, there are no lyrics, there is not even an arrangement, there is only a humming that does not understand the meaning of the words at all, it is still music!

Good music is good music!

At this time, the Chinese audience and the audience proficient in Chinese at the scene and in front of the TV can certainly appreciate the complete appearance and complete spiritual connotation and unique temperament of the whole song, but even foreign fans who do not understand Chinese and do not understand what Li Qian is singing at all will be shocked by such a song and such a shocking and amazing performance at this moment!

So, at this time, when Li Qian soared for the third time in the performance of this song, the kind of treble that blended the ga-tone treble of the full oriental Peking Opera and the treble of the chanting style, such a sentence "returning to the Tang Dynasty in a dream", directly pulled the atmosphere of the scene to the climax!

At this moment, the medium and long shots that appeared on the TV swept across the audience, clearly showing the whole process and the whole picture of the fans who were so excited and even a little crazy that they were in the audience!

Starting with a middle-aged foreign fan for a certain second, one by one, one by one, one after another in the audience, completely spontaneously stood up!

Some people are clenching their fists and shouting something, and some people are shaking their heads, jumping, and jumping like crazy!

But more people subconsciously stretched out their arms and bowed to the center of the court!

It's like a pilgrimage!

…………

The picture cut back, in the picture of the TV, Li Qian's face turned red because of excitement, with an indescribable excitement and excitement in his expression, at this moment, he opened his arms-

"Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in the past,

All friends in the world are glue paint,

The horizon is infinite and the world is wide,

There are tens of millions of buildings in Ande. ”

…………

Bass up.

Cao Zhan, who was wearing a hat, closed his eyes at this moment, his body shook wildly, crazy and agitated.

Another big show of bass!

…………

The TV screen cuts back to the audience again after giving him a full seven or eight seconds of close-up of the popular uncle, who is known as Asia's No. 1 bass player.

Because at this moment, the well-informed TV director knows very well that the crazy crowd in the audience, the dancing crowd, and the worshipping crowd are the best evaluation and praise for such a song and such an amazing performance!

Such a Chinese song can make countless foreigners in the audience who do not understand Chinese bow and worship, such a shot is even more shocking than the performance itself!

"Along the palm prints are branded with fate,

Wake up tonight without wine,

Walking into the myth of fate,

Back to the Tang Dynasty in a dream!

The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,

Paper-scented ink flying words are full of rivers,

The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,

Haojie is heroic.

Along the palm prints branded with fate,

Wake up tonight without dreams,

Walking into the myth of fate,

Dream back to the Tang Dynasty!"

…………

Agitation! Agitation! Agitation!

At this moment, there is no need to deliberately capture, because the audience is full of more than 80,000 people, and more than 70% of them can't help but stand up.

At least more than half of the people couldn't help but bow to the stage in the center of the stadium!

And the live broadcast camera of Huaxia TV, at this moment, accurately conveyed the scene that was happening in the audience to the world.

At this moment, it seems that the whole world has stopped functioning for a while.

It seems that the whole world is full of agitation!

This moment, the opening ceremony of the World Cup in China, 2002.

We, dream back to the Tang Dynasty!

***

It's hot, my heart is hot, and when I wrote this chapter, I still sweated a lot of time despite the air conditioner, and when I finished writing, I was close to semi-prostration.

If nothing else, in the peaceful and prosperous era, we have returned to the Tang Dynasty!

Because of this song, because of the excitement brought by this song, Dao Yigong sincerely asks you for another monthly pass!
