Chapter 161. The Four Great Mad Kings
There are two versions of this "Water Flower" in Chinese and Cantonese, and the person who sang the Cantonese version, the standard level exceeded everyone's imagination, which immediately caused a round of applause.
Chen Xiaotang was accustomed to listening to the Chinese version he composed for Tan Yonglin, and suddenly heard such a Cantonese version and could not adapt to it for a while, but with the familiar and melodious tune, he soon found that the Cantonese version of the song was also very good.
HG is already a popular Cantonese song, "Flowers in the Water. Although Chinese is classic, the taste of Cantonese is more suitable for the taste of these HG people, and with the performance of the singer, it has made the guests emotional, many people hit the beat with their hands, and a few excitedly, directly whispered softly, echoing it.
Under the light, Chen Xiaotang suddenly found that the male singer's lips were thick and ruddy, if it was a woman, it would be enough to be called "flaming red lips", but he was a man, and he couldn't help but feel a little too surname~.
His voice was a little hoarse, just a little bit, which increased the magnetic surname of the song, singing and turning around to do all kinds of affectionate movements, which tested people's performance ability, he was extremely devoted, Chen Xiaotang also beat for him, even the pineapple boy who had been disdainful couldn't help but beat the beat.
Just when Chen Xiaotang thought that this was the case, the singer once again surprised Chen Xiaotang, and when the second main song was switched, Cantonese became Chinese lyrics: "In the bleak rain and cold wind~ How much prosperity is like a dream~ Once thousands of purples and thousands of reds~ Blown down by the wind and suddenly looking back~ Love is like a cloud of smoke~ Like water, flowing away~ Leaving no trace~ I saw the flowers in the water~ I want to keep a touch of red ......"
This subtle switch made the scene resound a cheer, although the Cantonese is original, but the Chinese lyrics are more intimate, this bridge is icing on the cake, the song reaches the end, he has a powerful ending action, perfectly completed!
There was applause at the scene, mixed with a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and immediately someone held a flower basket and put it in front of the stage, with his name written on the red ribbon - Cai Fenghua!
"It turned out to be him!" At this time, not only Chen Xiaotang, but even Liu Dehua and others also recognized this person.
Guan Zhilin smiled slightly: "Yes, it's him." He is Cai Fenghua. Speaking of which, he is still your predecessor, he worked in wireless in his early years, especially for singing, and won many awards in the wireless light song club. Later, for some reason, he terminated the contract with TVB, joined Sony Records, released records, and sales were still very good. It is said that even Tan Yonglin praised his singing skills, but I don't know how he could sing here......"
"What else, of course it's for money, he sings here for one night, it's enough for me to sing for a month!" Pineapple said jealously.
It's no wonder that Cai Fenghua is very popular at this time, he can't help singing well, and he is also tall and handsome, because he has a pair of thick red lips, so he has the nickname "Prince of Red Lips"; And because he once had a song called "Prince Charming", he has the title of "Prince Charming". In the early days, Cai Fenghua's image and typhoon were similar to the same period of the original singer Tamaki Koji, so he was also called "HG Tamaki Koji". Today's career seems to be developing smoothly, it can be described as a spring breeze, full of ambition, and he has his own expensive sports car in and out, which is very popular.
But apart from Chen Xiaotang, who knows how miserable Cai Fenghua will be in the future? !
Because of a nonsense blurted out, he was unlucky for more than 20 years, and from the former "Prince Charming", he was beaten to the "Four Crazy Kings" of HG.
As a guest in his previous life, Chen Xiaotang was fortunate to watch a concert when he made a comeback.
At that concert, he was "retired" for more than 20 years because of a comment on Zhang Guirong "Instant brilliance does not mean eternity", and finally stood up again. Cai Fenghua obviously cherished this opportunity, thanked the fans for their love many times this night, and sang for more than two hours, and even regained the popular "double encore" tradition in the music industry back then, and repeatedly returned to sing. However, in the much-anticipated "breaking the news" link, Cai Fenghua was disappointed -- he was expected to blow up the inside story of the turmoil of the year, but in the end, he only said a few words vaguely and avoided his attitude.
There was also an episode in the concert that night, Cai Fenghua accidentally tripped over the carpet on the stage while singing, and after getting up, he laughed at himself: "Get up if you fall once, get up again when you fall down......"
"Ten years have passed in a daze, and I can no longer distinguish each other's mistakes. In the past, it was fruitless, and today it is remedied. Bury the pain of yesterday, please come back to accompany me, and then ...... with me in this life" Chen Xiaotang remembers clearly that at the beginning of the concert, Cai Fenghua made the audience sigh with a song "Ten Years". In the following time, "Self", "Maybe", "Yes and What", "Absolute Emptiness", ...... Dozens of old songs, almost all of which can be reminiscent of Cai Fenghua's bumpy star journey.
However, Cai Fenghua hardly communicated with the audience about his past experience. From beginning to end, he wore sunglasses and a hat, wrapped himself tightly, and no matter how the fans cheered and screamed, he never showed half a smile, but just used his singing voice to fulfill the opening admission: "I'll give it my all tonight!" ”
After the first "encore", he returned to sing his masterpiece "Absolute Emptiness". After that, the audience thought the concert was over and left the venue one after another, but he reappeared when there were less than half of the audience left, and sang another song. Before saying his final goodbye, he bowed deeply to the audience on the four sides of the stage many times and said "thank you" countless times.
Cai Fenghua's "retired" originated from the second season selection of HG Wireless's "Golden Songs" in August 1985. At that time, as the first-generation host of "Golden Songs", Cai Fenghua sighed in front of the Hong Kong audience after Zhang Guirong's three songs were selected: "Instant brilliance does not mean eternity. ”
Although he explained afterwards: "That sentence is just a feeling, it is an emotion for the artist's career, not for anyone." And Zhang Guirong also helped him speak: "Don't blame him, he is the kind of person who doesn't know what he is talking about when he speaks, and only knows about hitting the board after speaking." But this incident directly caused Cai Fenghua to lose his job as the host of "Golden Songs", and he has disappeared from the entertainment industry since then.
Later, according to insiders, in fact, Cai Fenghua's sentence of "disaster comes from the mouth" back then was still followed, but he was interrupted at the time, and he didn't finish it. So someone asked what the latter words were. And Cai Fenghua just said calmly: "This matter has passed." And turned the conversation around, refusing to reveal what his "unfinished words" were at the beginning.
What impressed Chen Xiaotang even more was that in the middle of the concert, Cai Fenghua seemed to have tripped over the stage carpet, suddenly fell on his back, and the hat he was wearing on his head also rolled aside, revealing his bald head that he had covered all night. The audience exclaimed. I saw Cai Fenghua quickly pick up his hat, put it back on his head, and then half-lie down and calmly sang half of the lyrics, Fang Shiran got up. "Pediatrics, don't worry." He said, then added self-deprecatingly: "If you fall once, you get up, and if you fall again, you get up again...... This is my life. I don't give up because of your support, you know? ”
His pride and strength are also shown in the "heart-to-heart talk" with the master of ceremonies. When the other party talked emotionally about how difficult it has been for him over the years, and how the friends around him have helped him, Cai Fenghua interrupted her quietly and said to the audience: "Today's Cai Fenghua is the first person to show after the redecoration and opening of the gymnasium!" "The pride has not changed.
"I like applause, I'm not afraid of boos, and I'm most afraid of being silent." "This is the first time, and I hope that you can all accompany me for many, many times in the future." These are the two most "begging" sentences that Cai Fenghua said to the audience that night. And the audience at the scene also showed a righteous "not abandoned" attitude towards this veteran singer who "does not give up", and gave applause and support from beginning to end.
"This is a concert that makes people feel the impermanence of fate, and it also makes people reflect on what we can do in the face of fate." Chen Xiaotang sighed after the concert.
At this moment, looking at Cai Fenghua who was high-spirited on the stage, it was difficult for Chen Xiaotang to associate it with the decadent and unlucky bald middle-aged man in his previous life.
Are they really the same person?
Or maybe you're dazzled?!
I don't know, for Cai Fenghua, Chen Xiaotang actually has an indescribable feeling, I don't know if it is a sigh for his fate, or an incomparable admiration for his indomitable spirit.
Perhaps, there are both feelings.
At that moment, Chen Xiaotang remembered the plan hidden in his heart - the performance plan at the carnival charity gala, why not sing? Like Cai Fenghua, respond to the audience with singing and laugh proudly on the stage?!
Chen Xiaotang, who has never been crazy about songs, suddenly has an impulse, he really wants to learn to sing, especially hoping that he can be like those big singers, dazzling on the stage.
However, like being an actor, being a singer is not so simple.
First of all, you must have qualifications, the five tones are incomplete, and you can only sing "Leo" and hum "Nunchucks"! -- Do whatever you want, don't be embarrassed here, this is the 80s, not the 21st century, the more shameless the greater.
Secondly, you learn the skills of singing, being a singer is not as everyone thinks, just open your mouth, they also need to practice singing, at least the lung capacity must be large enough, otherwise you will not be killed by the fans when you start a concert, and you will already be suffocated to death.
Finally, you have to understand the table type. To put it more clearly, it is to know the ability to control the stage, otherwise you stand on the stage, like a monkey, who will watch? If you play well, you can win a banana, and if you don't play well, those fans will make you eat bricks!
To sum up, if you want to be a singer, it is not so easy, you need talent, if you don't have talent, you must have acquired luck, if you don't have luck, you must study hard, if you want to be lazy, you must have the guidance of a famous teacher, without the guidance of a famous teacher, you just go home and dream in vain!
Chen Xiaotang is obviously not the kind of person who likes to dream in vain, he knows that his time is running out, and in ten days, it will be a carnival party, and he must bloom his brilliance on that stage. Even if the brilliance does not bloom, it must be like a blind artillery battle to make people start-in short, it is to fight.
But how to fight, then in the shortest possible time, learn practical singing skills, you have to sing skills, you have to rely on your voice to make a splash. To do this, does he have to find a very good teacher, Tan Yonglin? People are busy filling records and holding concerts, where are you empty? Even if you have written a few songs for others, but in this era, it is difficult to say that human affection is a thing, what if you bring it up yourself, what if people want to refuse and are embarrassed to refuse? Isn't it embarrassing for everyone...... Zhang Guirong? Not to mention, although he helped him regain his old love, it was ...... Everyone is just a one-sided relationship, so you can't bother others too much, right...... In addition to these, Chen Xiaotang's target is locked on the stage - Cai Fenghua, the most unlucky unlucky ghost and the most crazy guy in the future HG entertainment industry.
At this moment, Chen Xiaotang wanted to ask affectionately: "Is it okay for you to be my teacher?!" ”
