Chapter 291: Moonlight
Saturday night at half past seven.
Fifteen minutes before the latest episode of "The Voice of Dreams" started.
Huang Guolun and Mu Chunmei, who were lying on the hospital bed, made a video call and watched the latest live broadcast of "Dream" together.
In the past, Mu Chunmei would personally appear on stage on Saturdays, and this night was the first time she watched "The Voice of Dreams" in the hospital room, and she finally realized what it was like for Huang Guolun to watch them perform in front of the TV in the past.
Fortunately, Mu Chunmei was not alone this night, her mother had come to Hangzhou to accompany her.
Huang Guolun's ward was even more lively.
Huang Guokun, Cui Xiaoli, and Yang Xiaoying are all here.
These people are like overseers around Huang Guolun, afraid that Huang Guolun will use his smartphone to do other things.
Cui Xiaoli is the most cong (ji) Ming (zei), and took the initiative to help Huang Guolun hold the mobile phone, so that Huang Guolun could lie down and chat with Mu Chunmei while eating apples.
Huang Guokun also gathered in front of the camera to chat with Mu Chunmei. He kept sighing, it was a pity not to see the showdown between Mu Chunmei and Beyond this week.
At the same time, they were also lamenting that Yao Ming's throat was swollen, and they couldn't take out their best state to challenge Beyond this night, and they all sweated for Yao Ming.
When the show was about to start, Huang Guokun called Liu Qing and asked Yao Ming about his current situation.
The news he heard made Yao Ming even more worried.
Yao Ming had a fever again at night, not only did his throat not improve, but his body became weaker.
Liu Qing was very worried about whether Yao Ming would be able to hold up a song today.
The Kunlun music team at the scene no longer prays for Yao Ming's good performance, as long as Yao Ming can stick to a song, they will be thankful.
At 7:45 p.m., the show started on time.
At the beginning of the show, Hua Shao greeted Mu Chunmei through the screen to help Mu Chunmei recover as soon as possible.
Those viewers who always said that they were tired of watching Mu Chunmei before, were told by Hua Shao, and they really missed Mu Chunmei.
When Mu Chunmei was there, they didn't cherish it, or they were envious, jealous and hateful.
Now that Mu Chunmei is gone, the stage of "Dream" seems to be blank all of a sudden, and these people are beginning to miss Mu Chunmei again.
With such a mentality, I don't know if it's appropriate to use "cheap" to describe it, and there seems to be no more appropriate word other than "cheap".
Fortunately, Beyond's popularity is high enough, and the four members sit side by side on a super-sized mentor sofa tailored to them by the program team.
As soon as the camera was given to the four Jiaju, the scene immediately burst into boiling cheers and applause.
I believe that many viewers in front of the TV can see Beyond on the stage of "Dream", and they are also very excited and looking forward to it.
Huang Guolun saw Huang Jiaju who had just passed his 58th birthday through the camera, and he was overwhelmed with emotion.
Fortunately, he is not a fan of Paul, otherwise he would have felt very strange when he saw the 58-year-old family foal.
Time is like a carving knife, carving traces of vicissitudes that are difficult to hide on the face of the family.
Just like the star master, the family foal at this age is already a "grandfather gray", and superstars like them disdain to use hair dye to cover the traces left by the years on their bodies.
Although it has gradually shown its old state, the insistence on music in Jiaju's bones has never changed.
No matter how the general environment of the Chinese music scene changes, their band's heart of insisting on the purest music will never change.
This can be seen from the fact that their own eponymous label "Beyond" has singers who do not repair their voices, do not fake sing, and do not go along with the general environment.
Although such stubbornness and persistence have caused repeated setbacks in the development of their music company over the years, even if there are only a few of them left on this road, they will continue to move forward, just like their band's most classic "Sea and Sky" sang: "If you abandon your ideals, anyone can do it, even if one day only you and I will be together." ”
On TV, a small film of the teacher's song began.
The focus of everyone's attention this week is definitely which song Beyond will sing.
After the results were revealed, many people were surprised - Beyond's song this week was actually a Hakka nursery rhyme - "Moonlight"!
Just listening to this name, many non-Hakka people may not know which song this is, but as soon as the melody sounds, everyone will immediately realize and say: "Oh, it turned out to be this nursery rhyme." ”
Many Beyond fans hope that Beyond can sing a particularly passionate piece this week, even though they know that Jiaju is old and his voice is not very strong, but everyone still wants to hear Beyond sing a more powerful piece instead of this kind of children's song.
As soon as the results of this song came out, many people complained on the Internet, scolding the program team for not respecting Beyond, such a big-name band came, and actually assigned them this kind of children's rhyme, isn't this a joke!
Although this show has always had the style of playing a mentor, and always gives the mentor some very strange or funny works, you must know that Beyond is an X mentor!
When the previous X tutors came to "The Voice of Dreams", they would be assigned works that were particularly in line with their singing style, with the exception of Hua Chenyu.
Unexpectedly, this second exception is Beyond.
No one can imagine how nursery rhymes like "Moonlight" fit well with Beyond, which has always insisted on taking the rock route.
So much so that some radical fans began to scold the ancestors of the program group for the nineteenth generation on the Internet.
The program team was really wronged by being scolded this time, because this song was proposed by Beyond to be sung, not by them.
Cui Xiaoli is also a little fan of Beyond, and after seeing this result, she guessed expectantly: "Will the great god of Jiaju change this song "Moonlight" to a rock version? If it is changed to a rock version, "Moonlight" should be very cool!"
Huang Guokun, who knows the inside story, said with a smile: "They haven't changed, they just sing the most traditional version of "Moonlight". ”
Cui Xiaoli was stunned: "Won't you?"
Huang Guokun said: "Sure, it was Liu Qing and I said it, they secretly went to see the Beyond rehearsal, and they put together "Moonlight" and "Forever". ”
The eternity in Huang Guokun's mouth is the most famous song written by Beyond in the 21st century in this plane, but it is still a lot worse than "Sea and Sky".
Huang Guokun followed up and told Huang Guolun and a few others about some of the insider gossip he knew.
According to the news that Huang Guokun got, this time Beyond is to push newcomers, and the newcomer they brought has a very special identity, she is the girlfriend of Jiaju's son, named Liu Jialan, only 20 years old this year, is a newcomer singer from a folk music class, and is very good at singing tradition and pop.
Liu Jialan has debuted in Xiangjiang for almost two years, and her popularity in the music scene there is okay, but her popularity in the mainland is very average.
She is a potential newcomer focused on cultivating by Jiaju Company, and she is also the most eye-catching one of the post-00s in the Xiangjiang music scene.
This time, Beyond took Carina Lau to "The Voice of Dreams", just to test the water, I heard that there will be a series of promotion plans in the future, and the Beyond label is bound to make Carina Lau an iconic figure among the post-00s singers in Xiangjiang.
Since the plan to promote Liu Jialan has long been set, Beyond's appearance on stage this time will definitely give Liu Jialan a lot of room for development, and Jiaju will definitely not steal the limelight of his prospective daughter-in-law, but to escort her and strive to let her have the most beautiful performance.
Huang Guolun heard Huang Guokun say that Jiaju came to promote his prospective daughter-in-law this time, and he couldn't help but think of the rhubarb peach again, and he felt sad for a while......
Eight o'clock sharp.
A new round of challengers is on the scene.
In order to pay tribute to Beyond, the program team set the opening track for the four new challengers to be Beyond's classic inspirational song "No More Hesitation" -
……
"Boredom sees hesitation, it is not easy to achieve the ideal, even if you have confidence, your fighting spirit is suppressed"
"Who decides me to go or stay, and determines the universe in my heart, I just want to wave to the ideal with both hands"
"Ask how high the day is, the ambition is higher than the sky, and the mentality of self-confidence and immortality will live to old age!"
"Oh oh, I have the story in my heart, write each paragraph by hand, gain and loss, happiness and sorrow and dreams!"
"Oh oh, even if there is a trauma, do not retreat, the dream will be realized one day, and the world of the dream in the bottom of your heart will finally be seen!"
……
Although he is recovering from a serious illness, Huang Guolun's ears are still very sensitive.
He could hear that the Cantonese spoken by these four challengers was not particularly standard, although they practiced the song hard and practiced each Cantonese pronunciation very well, but after all, they usually don't speak Cantonese, even if they are familiar with it, their Cantonese pronunciation is a little different from those who usually speak Cantonese.
However, the flaws are not hidden, the singing attitude of these four newcomers and the youthful passion radiated by them are still very impressive.
Among them is a short boy, the subtitles show that his name is Nie Zhiwen, his voice is quite textured, a bit of Chen Yixun's shadow, and he belongs to the type where you can feel that there is a story in him with one mouth.
When singing in chorus, this Nie Zhiwen did not highlight the charm of the four, but Huang Guolun still heard it keenly, this kid's singing voice is very recognizable, and he is a potential seed.
After the four of them sang "No More Hesitation", when Huang Guokun asked him who he was more optimistic about who could stand out in this competition, Huang Guolun said that Nie Zhiwen's singing was a bit interesting, and he was more optimistic about this newcomer.
Mu Chunmei's ears are also very poisonous, and she can also hear that this Nie Zhiwen sings extraordinarily, expressing the same point of view as Huang Guolun.
Huang Guokun and Cui Xiaoli were more superficial, thinking that another big-breasted girl who could soar high notes was even more powerful, and they all guessed that this big-breasted girl named Zhang Hanhan could get a blood.
In the part of the computer assignment mentor and challenger battle, Yao Ming finally appeared.
In the shot, the smile on Yao Ming's face was a little weak and pale, and Huang Guolun couldn't help but sweat for Yao Ming again.
After that, the show entered the one-on-one battle between mentors and challengers.
Sure enough, as Huang Guolun and Mu Chunmei expected, Nie Zhiwen surprised the national audience with a very storytelling cover in the competition of single-handing Chen Yixun, and pressed Chen Yixun, who sang comic works, and won a rare victory.
When the big-breasted girl Zhang Hanhan and Lin Yilian went head-to-head, her performance was relatively average, although her treble was very distinctive, but it was only limited to the treble with characteristics.
Her singing emotions are pale, and she is not the opponent of an old and strong diva like Lin Yilian, who was defeated by a relatively large disadvantage.
The other two challengers did not have much impact on Lin Junjie and Zhang Huimei, and they were also blocked from the door of the "Dream" concert.
After the first four sets of duels, the atmosphere of the scene gradually warmed up.
Everyone is looking forward to the ultimate battle between Beyond and Yao Ming at this time.
In the applause and cheers of all the audience, mentors, judges, and staff at the scene, the four elders of Beyond appeared.
This kind of palace-level band stands on the stage, regardless of their age, their aura is dominant.
Before the singing began, the audience burst into minute-long applause and cheers.
The four elders of Beyond, led by Jiaju, were very moved when they saw the audience so enthusiastic, and bowed again and again to thank the audience.
Then, Jiaju led to the music team and introduced Liu Jialan, who was standing in the chief harmony position, to everyone.
Until this moment, a close-up of Liu Jialan appeared on TV.
Many domestic audiences are seeing this female newcomer with a kind of classical beauty all over her body for the first time.
is like a person in the play who came out of "In the Mood for Love", Caramu Lau appeared in an elegant black and gold cheongsam this night, and her image was eye-catching, making millions of viewers remember her appearance in an instant.
Although in terms of appearance, she is not as beautiful and fragrant as Mu Chunmei, but Liu Jialan's tall and elegant overall demeanor is very outstanding, and at first glance, she is from a beautiful background, no wonder Jiaju's baby son will fall in love with this girl.
Under the guidance of the on-site staff, the audience gradually quieted down.
This time, Beyond took the stage, and they didn't need other music team members to help them play, they were all on their own.
After greeting the audience again, Jiaju took the lead in playing the guitar in his arms.
Traditional music sounds.
When you close your eyes, it feels like listening to a big brother playing the piano by a campfire, and the tune is very melodious and gentle.
Accompanied by Huang Jiaju's guitar solo, Liu Jialan sang with a very deep rhyme and drama.
She opened a warm and affectionate folk ink painting in front of everyone's eyes with one mouth, which instantly made many ears on the scene pregnant, and everyone was more impressed by this female newcomer at once-
……
"The moonlight shines on the ground, the prickly cub obediently falls off the bed, I hear that my grandmother wants to plant seedlings, and my grandfather wants to go up the mountain to see the cow, oh ~ oh ~ oh ~, the baby baby is growing tall and grown, help the grandfather to see the cattle and sheep, oh ~ oh ~ oh ......"
……
Liu Jialan sang a whole paragraph, during which Jiaju looked at her with a kind smile and accompanied her, until the last "oh oh" helped to harmonize the tone, or people who don't know still think that Jiaju is a supporting role today.
However, a legend is a legend, and the family foal only made a few "oh oh" sounds, and the familiar timbre caused a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.
Huang Guanzhong's guitar and Huang strengthened bass, as well as Ye Shirong's drums, sounded at the same time, and the music seemed to blow Beyond's exclusive horn, and a grandfather's gray family horse was finally about to open his voice!
