Chapter 120: Nirvana
Xiao Qiong's peacock dance is very different from the dances she showed before.
If her previous dances, whether it is flamenco, water sleeve dance, or danqing fan, mainly highlight a kind of dynamic beauty, then this peacock dance, at the beginning, mainly reflects static beauty.
In the melodious music, occasionally with the melodious birdsong, Xiao Qiong's peacock is pecking in the forest, or combing feathers, or flapping wings, every movement is closely in line with the rhythm of the music.
Her shape is extremely beautiful, and her every movement is so weak and boneless, as if there is no zài in the joints of her body.
In terms of personal aesthetics, Ye Luo actually doesn't like those very exaggerated dances, the kind of dance that is high above the top with a kick and a horse at every turn, in Ye Luo's eyes, the ingredients of showing off skills are too heavy.
Sometimes when he saw the dancers pull out a horse, he felt pain for them.
But Xiao Qiong's dance is not this kind of taste. At this moment, although the dance moves she shows on the stage are absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do, they seem difficult, but they are not so prohibitive.
It's not that difficult to separate each of her movements, but it's just done in place, properly combined, and naturally connected.
So Xiao Qiong on the stage, every action is so beautiful. And when she connects these beautiful movements, it makes people feel like they are in a fantasy world, so beautiful that they can forget to breathe.
If Song Yan, who is fluttering in a red dress, playing the piano on the Yellow River Waterfall, is a classic, then the peacock dance that Xiao Qiong shows on the stage at the moment is a collection of countless classics.
And Xiao Qiong's peacock dance is more than that. With the addition of the Dai elephant foot drum, the rhythm of the accompaniment gradually accelerated. Xiao Qiong's dance moves. It is also speeding up, from static pictures to dynamic dances like flowing clouds.
In this group of dynamic dances, Xiao Qiong opened her voice - "Peacock Flying Southeast".
In the contemporary pop music scene, there has been a trend of "new singing of ancient songs".
This song is one of the masterpieces.
The original lyrics of the song. Taken from a Han Dynasty Yuefu poem, it is also the earliest narrative long poem in Chinese history. Like "West Out of Yangguan", there are ancient words, ancient songs, and ancient tunes, but the ancient words are still there, but the ancient songs and tunes have been lost.
In contemporary times, the older generation of musicians, led by Yan Wuji and Sha Fuhai, have restored and renovated these ancient songs, incorporating modern musical elements. A large number of masterpieces have been created.
"Peacock Flying Southeast" is one of them. Of course, this poem is too long, and a song can't be sung, so in terms of lyrics, Yan Wuji has also made condensed and changed it.
The peacock dance with this song is undoubtedly a perfect match, Xiao Qiong's singing voice is not fancy, she uses her perfect timbre in the middle and low registers. and a hoarse tail note with personal characteristics, telling the story. Finished the song.
is different from Song Yan's use of the surging momentum of the Yellow River, which is comparable to the singing voice of a eunuch, to shock the audience. Xiao Qiong's song and dance used beautiful stage effects, light songs and dances, which made everyone feel sincerely happy and happy.
The song is finished. Xiao Qiong's dance is not over yet, her movements are getting faster and faster, and the accompaniment is becoming more and more bright and intense, as if she is brewing the last high. Tide.
When the audience's emotions were mobilized by Xiao Qiong's faster and faster dance moves. Xiao Qiong's movements stopped.
The colorful long skirt on her lower body slowly unfolded after Xiao Qiong's movement of leaning over and closing her wings.
Peacock open screen!
The three-dimensional special effects on the stage make the end of the peacock's gorgeous tail feathers radiate countless colorful glare......
Although everyone in the audience knows that since it is a peacock dance, the peacock will definitely open the screen, but when this glare combined with three-dimensional special effects is emitted, everyone is dazzled, and then amazed.
But that's not all!
Colorful glare, slowly turning golden. On the stage, Xiao Qiong was the center, and there was a burst of dazzling golden light, which was difficult to look at.
Wait until Jin Mang is a little weaker, and then look at Xiao Qiong, only to see that she has changed from a colorful peacock to a golden phoenix!
This change surprised Ye Luo. He could guess that Xiao Qiong's long skirt must have hidden things inside, and he could change clothes on the spot. But at this moment, even the makeup on Xiao Qiong's face has been changed to gold, how did this happen?
"Sichuan opera changes face?" Yang Su muttered.
"Not bad." Zu Shaoyuan nodded and said, "This dazzling golden mang, it can only last for a second, and the audience will get bored if it is longer." Therefore, in just one second, it is necessary to complete both the costume change and the face change. It turned out that I didn't agree to take such a risk, and the Peacock Dance should be enough to deal with Song Yan, but Xiao Qiong insisted on doing so, and I couldn't help it. ”
Yang Su said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful the peacock is, it is a mortal bird after all, but Xiao Qiong, the peacock, has become a divine bird phoenix on the stage of this cutting-edge girl." It seems that her ambition is not just to defeat Song Yan......"
On the stage, after the peacock turned into a phoenix, Xiao Qiong posed an ending pose, which was still so beautiful, but it seemed to be the starting movement of another dance.
The music stopped abruptly, and the audience's reaction once again had an obvious lag, and when they realized that Xiao Qiong's dance had been completed, the tsunami-like applause and cheers immediately swept the entire studio hall!
Merina and Deng Qi stood in their chairs again, this time instead of applauding, they jumped up and down on the chair, waving their arms. It seems that the excitement in their hearts can no longer be expressed with applause.
Yan Wuji didn't applaud either, not because the song was written by his old man himself, and he was a little embarrassed to applaud. It's because now his two hands are very busy, and he is holding the wheelchair of the two queens on the left and right, looking left and right with fear, for fear that they will fall......
The rainforest of Xishuangbanna on the stage is still changing, but this time it has not become the original stage, but has transformed into a sky that exudes a faint golden glow.
In this context, Song Yan, who was dressed in a red dress, fell from the sky and slowly landed beside Xiao Qiong.
The hosts Ou Ning and Gan Jin were sent to the stage by elevator.
"I have no way to describe the wonderful journey of this PK in words." As soon as Ou Ning came on the stage, he said, "As a TV worker, I have watched countless live or recorded TV performances, but I believe that tonight's Xiao Qiong and Song Yan must be unprecedented, and maybe, it is unprecedented." ”
The two of them, one playing the piano and singing on the Yellow River, the other dancing and chanting in the rainforest. This duel of theirs is enough to go down in history! ”
"Alright, the five-minute SMS channel is now open. As the audience votes, let's listen to the judges' insights. ”
"Sister Mai, don't gesture on the chair, you are a rock diva, you have to be the strength of that female man, the peacock dance is so soft and charming to the extreme, it obviously doesn't match you."
"Sister Deng, come down too, you see that Teacher Yan has already helped you pick up your shoes, the elders can't give up, why don't you put them on first?"
In the midst of laughter, Merina stepped off her chair unsatisfied, and Deng Qi blushed even more and thanked Yan Wuji repeatedly.
"Sister Mai, you can comment first."
"I was very happy to receive this invitation from a young girl. Because I was finally able to go back to my great-grandfather's homeland and be a judge for a heavy dà TV talent competition. There is a saying in China that leaves fall back to their roots, and I also came to China with this mentality and sat here.
In order to prepare for the judges' work in this competition, I have been working hard for the past two months to review the Chinese, especially the praise words that may be used by the judges, and I have been memorizing them every day.
But today, after I saw Song Yan and Xiao Qiong's performances, I found that the words I had memorized were not enough. I can't express this compliment in Chinese, and it makes me sad. ”
At this, Merina's expression was downcast.
"Sister Mai, I think your sadness is already the highest praise for these two players." Ou Ning said in a deep voice.
"Please Sister Mai calm down, Sister Deng, what do you think?"
Deng Qi said: "What I saw tonight was a performance by a pianist and a dance artist. What an honor it is for me to be here tonight. I think as a singer, I can't comment on them, I can only appreciate them, I can only applaud. ”
"Teacher Yan."
Yan Wuji sighed and said, "I have noticed that Xiao Qiong and Song Yan were just warming up in the first round, and they were accumulating strength for the final battle. But I didn't expect that they would burst out with such a powerful force in this PK match.
The level of this PK match is the highest among all the PKs in this tournament so far. Their own singing is already perfect, coupled with Song Yan's performance on the Yellow River waterfall, Xiao Qiong's nirvana in Xishuangbanna, can be recorded in the annals of Chinese art. I think it's extremely inappropriate to judge their success or failure only by their wins and losses. There is no such thing as art.
In addition, I also noticed that Xiao Qiong's dance seems to be unfinished. The peacock turns into a phoenix, even though it is extremely beautiful, but what makes people look forward to it more is the miracle of the phoenix dancing for nine days. Xiao Qiong, is there any follow-up to your dance? ”
On the stage, Xiao Qiong spoke: "Yes, Teacher Yan." ”
"And when will I see it?" Yan Wuji asked.
"If I'm lucky, it's tonight." Xiao Qiong replied, "The second half of this dance, I prepared it for Chu Mo'er. ”
"Good. Then I wish you luck, and at the same time, I also send my blessings to Song Yan, the two of you, tonight's PK is indeed indistinguishable, and your fate can only be handed over to the audience. Yan Wuji smiled slightly and said no more. (To be continued......)
