Chapter 50: The Rare Silence
"Come on, come on, meet ninety-eight!"
"Meet in the silver moonlight, meet in the warm affection, come, come, meet ninety-eight, come, come, meet nineteen-ninety-eight, meet in the sweet spring breeze, meet in the eternal youth, meet heart appointment, heart appointment, meet year after year, no matter how close the world is!"
Two female voices, one high-pitched and bright, the other ethereal and pure, are matched together at this time, and the effect is perfect!
At this moment, more than a billion viewers around the world who are watching the Spring Festival Gala are subconsciously looking at the TV screen intently - the vast majority of ordinary people do not understand any aesthetic theory, nor do they understand music theory, and they may not have taken a serious music appreciation class in their lives, but they do not delay everyone's ability to appreciate good things and good music at all. Whether a song is good or not, most people can hear it as soon as they hear it.
And this song "Meet Ninety-Eight", to the point or not, that's another thing, that's just an external gimmick, the most important thing is that the light and lively feeling in the lyrics and tunes is enough for every listener to feel at the first time.
So, the fact is, a bad show, no matter how hard you jump, readers should still do what, the Chinese New Year is often a family sitting together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, at this time, someone commented on two sentences, maybe they chatted about the sky by the way, maybe someone wants to take the opportunity to go to the toilet or something.
As soon as a good program came out, the audience in front of every TV gradually quieted down, no longer discussed, no longer chatted, and watched and listened carefully. It seems that I am afraid to miss every beautiful detail.
There was no applause. There are no compliments either.
In front of the TV at the moment. There are just pairs of wide eyes and a room full of singing.
In contrast, this is a show that can "quiet down".
…………
For many fans, the two goddesses, one black and one white, on the TV screen at this moment, of course, are extremely familiar faces, but this "familiarity" can only be said to be relative.
The so-called familiar, Zhou Yan debuted earlier. As early as 1990, she appeared on the Spring Festival Gala as a newcomer, but at that time, first, she just sang the one-minute Dalian singing, and second, the people at that time were much less receptive to her fresh and avant-garde. Since then, she has never appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again.
And Liao Liao, although his debut was several years later than Zhou Yan, has been since his debut. From "Persistence" to "The Sound of the Waves Remains". and then sang "Meet Ninety-Eight" with Zhou Yan this year, but she has been on the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, and every year is the highlight of the solo, and this year, she is responsible for the finale of the eleven o'clock period!
It can be said that within the music circle, Liao Liao and Zhou Yan's popularity are equal, and even to a certain extent, Zhou Yan's ethereal and unique voice will be more liked by many musicians than Liao Liao.
However, when this popularity is put into the entire record industry, when fans, media, etc. are counted, then Liao Liao's current popularity and influence will be several times that of Zhou Yan, forming a crushing trend!
To put it simply, Zhou Yan is more niche, while Liao Liao is more popular.
Because to a certain extent, don't look at Zhou Yan who has been popular for so many years, but she has never been popular enough - she belongs to the typical kind of person who is a hit, but she is not popular, which makes some people like it and are fascinated, but more people have only heard her name, and maybe occasionally heard some news about her, and have a vague impression of her.
On the contrary, insiders know that the more popular it is, the more embarrassing it is.
You say it's popular, many people know her, have heard of her, and even talk about it, you say it's not popular, but many people just rely on a very one-sided understanding of her, they subconsciously think they know her, and then stay away from her.
For example, Zhou Yan, when it comes to her, many fans in China will say: "Oh, the diva, she is very individual." Her songs are said to be good. This "supposedly" alone is enough to make the record company want to cry without tears.
Because many people are like this, the more they have heard and known, the more they subconsciously do not buy her albums, which eventually leads to many people who have heard of a certain singer, many years have passed, but they have never heard a song of this singer.
And now, suddenly there is such an opportunity, with the help of the invincible super program of the Spring Festival Gala, with the help of such a good song as "Meet Ninety-Eight", many people, many people who have only heard of Zhou Yan, but have not heard her singing, were suddenly "pressed" on the sofa like this, and honestly listened carefully to every song of Zhou Yan's singing!
Then, countless people were instantly moved!
This ethereal and pure voice is definitely the only one in the world, and it only belongs to Zhou Yan's voice!
All of a sudden, the original definition and representative symbol of the name Zhou Yan in my heart were directly replaced by such a beautiful and ethereal voice and such a song!
Many people suddenly found out: It turns out that Zhou Yan's singing is really good!
Compared with Zhou Yan, Liao Liao, who has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, is still a goddess, although her aura is powerful and her voice is almost invincible, but everyone is familiar enough with her, so she has lost a lot of amazement.
Hearing Zhou Yan sing so well, everyone will think: Wow, it turns out that Zhou Yan is so good at singing!
But when I heard that Liao Liao also sang so well, and sang with Zhou Yan, everyone would only think: Well, it's okay!
Because you're Liao Liao!
You sing well, that's normal, what's there to be surprised about?
On the contrary, if you don't sing well, then it's called news!
But, then again.
Previously, Liao Liao's public and Zhou Yan's niche were all aimed at the record industry. And when this background expands to the entire entertainment industry, when this stage becomes a Spring Festival Gala facing more than a billion viewers, it can be said that songs. And singers. It's just a part of the vast national entertainment system.
Even Liao Liao, who is now at the peak of popularity in the record industry. If you really want to look at it in the entire entertainment industry, of course, she is also a prince, but if you really talk about popularity and popularity, her ranking must be at least outside the top ten.
Not to mention anything else, the popularity of many comedians is much greater than that of her, a singer diva!
But at this moment. Even for many fans who are already familiar with and like Liao Liao, this song "Meet Ninety-Eight", a work sung by two divas, also brings them a strong sense of freshness.
Yes, one of the most important things in this world is called freshness.
In the past, Liao Liao appeared on stage for two consecutive years, but he sang the most popular song on the album released in the past year, in short, it is an old song, a song that everyone has heard. So. Audiences and fans will look forward to it. will want to see Liao Liao on stage, but for the song itself, except for reviewing the past and finding that you still like the song so much, there is almost nothing new to speak of. And there is no freshness, Liao Liao appeared, everyone praised it, and then ...... Then, of course, there is no then.
Liao Liao is here, singing, it's good, then it's over!
But this time, the new song, the two divas sang in duet, and the song was good enough, and at the moment on the stage, the two of them were dressed in black and white, atmospheric and natural...... It can be said that the freshness is simply full!
Therefore, in fact, at this moment, with this melodic "Meet Ninety-Eight", although more and more people have "discovered" Zhou Yan for the first time, there are also a huge number of marginal fans who have suddenly "opened" Liao Liao.
…………
It should be said that the song "Meet Ninety-Eight", purely from the perspective of lyrics and songs, is difficult to say how classic it is, but its ethereal and ethereal meaning is absolutely superior.
When such a good work is sung by the right person at the right time, the impact it has on people's hearts is absolutely beyond the texture of the work itself.
In the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, this song "Meet Ninety-Eight" has become a spiritual coordinate of that time and space and that era with the help of the perfect expression of the two divas. The two divas began to land in Hong Kong and Taiwan with the help of this song, and the other instantly covered the mainland from the original Hong Kong and Taiwan divas, and their influence was unparalleled for a while.
The interlude is very short, Zhou Yan's expression is indifferent, she raises her fingers, and her attitude is leisurely and playful, "The song is leisurely, penetrating the green of spring, putting on new clothes, when the time comes tomorrow." ”
And then, Liao Liao smiled lightly, "Listen quietly and speechlessly, that gentle breath, so quickly let us, hug, hug, embrace each other's dreams." At this time, Zhou Yan cut in, and the two sang in chorus, "You greet me with warm eyes, and welcome the joy and joy I brought from yesterday, and the joy ......"
This song is not difficult for Liao Liao, this is basically her usual singing path, and she is familiar with it. But for Zhou Yan, it was almost the first time she sang this kind of work that was so "orthodox", so "honest", and not maverick enough.
Therefore, at this time, although the two of them are in different directions, they are both full of firepower, showing the uniqueness and texture of their voices to the fullest with the appropriate rhythm of this song.
Because of this, it is extremely rare that this song made thousands of families on Chinese New Year's Eve, which should have been extremely warm, strangely appear silent for more than four minutes and nearly five minutes.
And because of this rare silence, Liao Liao instantly went to the next level, and Zhou Yan quickly made up for her last shortcoming compared with Liao Liao at the fastest speed.
That is, a wider audience.
So, when the two finished singing for the second time, when the smart violin showed out, even Li's father and Li's mother shook their heads, and exchanged a few words of opinion in a whisper, and they seemed to be very satisfied. And when the five-minute song finally ended, Xie Bing couldn't help but lean over and said: "If this song is sung like this in the Spring Festival Gala, the two of them will ...... next year."
Li Qian shrugged his shoulders and said, "As long as you don't set fire to the house, the others will go with them!"
