Chapter 70: Lukang Town
"If your husband is from Lukang Town, do you see my father?
My family lives at the back of the Mazu Temple, in a small grocery store that sells incense.
If your husband is from Lukang Town, do you see my lover?
I think she was eighteen when I left home, with a kind heart and long curly hair!
Yanjing is not my home, and there are no neon lights in my hometown.
The streets of Lukang are the fishing villages of Lukang, and the people who burn incense in the Mazu Temple.
Yanjing is not my home, and there are no neon lights in my hometown.
The early morning of Lukang and the dusk of Lukang, the people wandering in the civilization......"
At this time, as the sound of the prelude became louder, in order not to disturb the singing of the national sister-in-law, the more than 1,000 audience members immediately quieted down, as if someone had pressed the mute button.
Under Tang Yun's interpretation, a different rock work slowly entered the ears of the audience, Xiao Ran is very partial to this "Lukang Town", in his previous life, its author was the music godfather known as Treasure Island, and this is the most personal style song in his first album.
This song is no longer a simple commercial song, it has a certain political criticism, under Xiao Ran's modification, the original lyrics of Lukang Town has become an ideal utopian world, and there is no real zĂ i, and the city in the original lyrics has also become Yanjing, which is regarded as the most representative first-tier city.
And the first-line bustling city in this song has long become synonymous with pollution and erosion.
In the version that Xiao Ran heard in his previous life, it was obvious that the performance of the music godfather playing and singing by himself could not completely interpret this song well, but it was the performance of another female singer at the biennial summit of a program, which Xiao Ran loved the most, so he chose to let Tang Yun interpret this rock work.
"If your husband returns to Lukang Town, will you sue my father?
Yanjing is not the golden paradise I imagined, and there is no dream in the city!
In my dream, I returned to Lukang Town, and the people worshipping in the temple were still religious.
The years can't hide the simple smile of her father, and the girl in her dream still has long hair.
Yanjing is not my home, and there are no neon lights in my hometown.
The streets of Lukang are the fishing villages of Lukang, and the people who burn incense in the Mazu temple ......"
At this time, when the second lyrics sung by Tang Yun came out, some audiences were already fascinated, because most of the 500 audiences with voting rights were actually not Yanjing people, they were North drifters like Xiao Ran.
Far away from their hometowns, looking for opportunities to get ahead in the most prosperous first-tier cities, looking for their dreams, because of the huge pressure of life, they are busy every day, so they have no time to stop and watch TV, let alone the recent hot show The Voice of China.
And it is precisely because they have not watched this show that they will be invited to become the voting audience on the spot, everyone stopped what they were doing, just because the program team gave one person an appearance fee of thousands of yuan, but the program team did not manipulate the results like other programs, so they were not required to vote for anyone!
Xiao Ran is also targeting these voting audiences who have left their hometowns, so he chose "Lukang Town" to be sung by Tang Yun in the intra-group showdown.
Tang Yun's interpretation of "Lukang Town" is no longer the traditional rock singing method, and even the soundtrack uses a piano, but the essential rock ideology of this song is still very intact.
It's just that from the singing, Tang Yun has adopted a Nini way, just like telling a story, tell the audience if you have ever cared about the changes around you, most of the North Drifters who stay in Yanjing yearn for life in the big city, but when they really stay in Yanjing, they know that the life in the big city is not as beautiful as they imagined......
And just when the listeners thought that the song only had two melodies that kept changing, they found that the next melody changed again.
"When I sing this song again, can I sing like wind and rain?
The home that can't be returned, the small town of Lukang, the young people who left home back then.
Yanjing is not my home, and there are no neon lights in my hometown.
Prosperous cities, transitional towns, people wandering in civilization.
I heard that they dug up the red bricks of their hometown and built a concrete wall.
People back home get what they want and lose what they have.
A mottled wooden board on the door was engraved with these words.
Children and grandchildren will always bless the passing of incense from generation to generation......"
Singing this, the audience understood the profound meaning of this song, which was also the first political song of the godfather of music in the previous life.
This song shocked countless people with its spicy and critical lyrics and strong shouting tune, even if Xiao Ran in the previous life first heard "Lukang Town", it had been more than 20 years since it was published, but at that time, it still completely shocked Xiao Ran's heart, so that Xiao Ran has always had a preference for this song.
Yanjing is not the golden paradise I imagined, and the city does not have my original dream.
This lyric alone completely shows the lyricist's confusion and thinking, and it can be regarded as a true portrayal of those who drift north in the bustling city and whose dreams are broken.
So after this song was performed by Tang Yun, some people immediately began to stand up and applaud, and then more and more audiences were driven, and the audience immediately applauded.
The first match of the first group duel of the Wei Na team was completed, and at this time, after the announcement of the host Shao Hua, the five hundred spectators began to vote.
At the same time, the 99 on-site reporters in the media seats also began to use their laptops to constantly tap on the keyboard, using words to express their views and feelings on the first group of duels.
And these contents will also appear in live broadcasts, on major live broadcast websites and TV, also in the form of text advertisements, which is why these media will send reporters to the scene, and they are sent by their own elites.
I just hope that these reporters can write convincing content on the spot, after all, in the two-on-two duel, which one will be promoted and which one will be eliminated has always been a controversial topic, especially when the strength and fame of the two singers are very strong.
There is no doubt that Tang Yun and Wu Zhen are like this, one is an old singer with fifteen years of singing experience, and the other is a rising star, with the support of Xiao Ran, an all-round musician with a natural voice and a strong arranger and lyrics behind him.
And if there is controversy, there will be topics, and what these on-site reporters have to do is to create a topic by supporting one of the singers and strengthen their company's exposure!
