Chapter 8 When You're Old
After personally sending the second elder to the second studio, there was a prompt from the on-site director to prepare the singer in place in the headphones, Du Xinghe hurriedly carried the guitar and was taken to the preparation hall by Wu Xi.
There are also a few singers who have not appeared, and they all met Du Xinghe during the rehearsal yesterday, and they have all experienced Du Xinghe's magnetic voice, and they are all amazed by this uncle. At this time, Du Xinghe was about to appear, and they all went to the backstage passage, ready to watch Du Xinghe's live performance.
The countdown to the debut came from the headphones. The host Hua Shao is recording a fast-mouthed advertisement, and after reading it, Du Xinghe will appear on the stage.
At such a tense moment, Du Xinghe seemed very calm. If he didn't have the experience of traveling through another world, indulged in ten years, and got such a precious opportunity to appear on stage, I believe he would be very nervous, because he cherished it, because he didn't want to make mistakes, and he couldn't make mistakes.
But now, having experienced magical encounters that others have not been able to experience in several lifetimes or dozens of lifetimes, having seen so many winds and waves, and even dying n times, his mind has long become calm and calm.
In his opinion, with such physical skills as brute force and super memory, no matter how he mixes, he can get ahead in this real world. The stage of "The Voice" is just a shortcut for him. He is only 26 to give full play to his strength, there is no need to be nervous about anything. In his mind now, there shouldn't be anything that can make him nervous, unless the shadow patch in his brain has flare-up, and he is really dead, it will be possible to be nervous, otherwise, nothing else will cause him too much interference.
Du Xinghe was not nervous, but Wu Xi's two fat palms were sweaty, and he told Du Xinghe vigorously: "Cannon, don't be nervous when you go on stage." Just sing it calmly. It's best to close your eyes and don't look at the four instructors' turns, otherwise their snapping turns may affect your performance. ”
Du Xinghe smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't tell me, I know what to do." ”
Wu Xi waved his fat fist at Du Xinghe. Encouraged: "You must come on!" Earn some face for our Beijing gentlemen! ”
Du Xinghe said with a smile: "I don't need to earn the face of the Beijing gentlemen." As he was talking, the director in the headset prompted, let Du Xinghe enter the channel and appear!
Du Xinghe patted Wu Xi's fleshy shoulder, stopped talking nonsense, adjusted his breathing, and walked along the passage with posters of the champion students and mentors of previous seasons to the live broadcast hall.
Along the way, he couldn't help but think of being in another world. accompanied Xu Nuo to participate in the Fuwan Youth Song Competition, and at that time, Xu Nuo mustered up the courage to step onto the stage to change her fate. Now, it's his turn to take the path that will change his destiny.
After going through so much, he will never let the opportunity in front of him slip away.
With high fighting spirit and a heart that was so calm that it was almost indifferent, Du Xinghe took the stage with a guitar.
The four instructors all sat with their backs to the stage, and they couldn't see the new student on stage.
More than 300 spectators saw a middle-aged uncle wearing a well-fitting simple white T-shirt without any pattern and distressed jeans holding a guitar on stage. They all responded with warm applause.
When Du Xinghe was in another world, he experienced many bigger scenes. So he wasn't nervous, seeing so many people applauding him, including the people in the program team, he bowed deeply for everyone.
There is no one in the program team who has watched Du Xinghe's rehearsal who is not moved by his vicissitudes of life and affectionate singing, especially those who know the story behind him. People who know why he sings this song, as soon as they hear his singing, they can't help but sour their noses, and tears can't help but jump down. No matter what their past life history has been, in front of moving music. All people are fair, they will be moved by music, they will be moved by love.
Hua Shao accompanied Liu Yun and Du Jianhua to watch the live broadcast on the stage in the second studio. As soon as Liu Yun took the stage in Du Xinghe, he couldn't help it. Once upon a time, Du Xinghe on the stage was so high-spirited that he could even be described as self-respecting! But after being "oppressed" for so many years, his son has grown old to his current appearance, compared with Du Xinghe in his memory, how could she, a mother, not be heartwarmed? Isn't it uncomfortable? Before Du Xinghe started singing, Liu Yun was already choked.
Du Jianhua is the leader of the organ, and big scenes are not uncommon, but now that he sees his son overcoming so many difficulties and finally returning to the stage, the joy in his heart is beyond words. Under such joy, his expression became a little solemn. I don't know why, he was a little worried about Du Xinghe's performance. After all, Du Xinghe has not been on such a big stage for a long, long time, and he has not sung in front of so many people for so long, can he still sing well? Participating in "The Voice" this time is definitely a double-edged sword for Du Xinghe, if Du Xinghe plays well, then the road behind may accumulate thick and thin, and the road behind will be flat! But if Du Xinghe doesn't play well and leaves a psychological shadow, then his music path behind him will not be easy. Out of such worry, Du Jianhua's expression became so solemn.
In the center of the stage, after Du Xinghe bowed, the scene fell silent.
Na Ying knows how to observe the reactions of those audiences, and generally when students with very distinctive characteristics appear on the stage, the audience's reactions will be very special, but this time the audience's reactions are decent, and there is not even any excitement. She wondered in her heart, this new student on the stage should be very ordinary? However, she is the most aware of the criteria for the program team to arrange the order of students, and she knows very well that the first student to appear in the second half of each blind audition video is a topical character. This time, this student did not cause a sensation on the scene when he first appeared on stage, it seems that this may be a student with a very moving singing voice or a story behind it! With such a mentality, Na Ying smiled playfully, and couldn't help but peek at Haring, who was sitting next to her and sitting on the far left.
Haring also glanced at Na Ying with a clear heart, waiting for the performance of the new students.
Jay Chou sat on the other side of Na Ying, while Wang Feng sat on the far right of the other side of Jay Chou. Both of them habitually closed their eyes, ready to carefully read the students' singing with their ears and hearts.
Because Du Xinghe played and sang this song by himself, he didn't need the accompaniment of the band, so at this moment the members of the band were also relaxed, and Wang Xiaodong sat in the chair of the chief conductor. Turning to the stage, they were all paying attention to Du Xinghe's performance. During the rehearsal before, they all listened to Du Xinghe's song, compared to "Distant Her" with a big pomp accompaniment, the song that Du Xinghe was going to sing was a small song. It's a very distracting kind. In terms of shock alone, Du Xinghe's original song "Distant Her" shocked them far more than the song he was about to sing. However, the song that Du Xinghe wants to sing, under the interpretation of his special voice, is particularly touching. Especially for those who are professionally engaged in music, they have usually heard too many songs, and it is actually quite difficult to find a relatively quiet song that moves them. But the song that Du Xinghe is about to sing has done it. It's not just because the original author of the song wrote it well. The more important reason is that Du Xinghe's voice is too magnetic, too story-like, as soon as his singing voice comes out, it is like spreading out a piece of drawing paper in front of people's eyes, the small song is a sketch, the big song is an oil painting, each style of song. It can make people feel like they are in the purpose, which is really rare. So these band members are very concerned about Du Xinghe's table.
Du Xinghe sorted out the guitar in the center of the stage. Then he bowed slightly in the direction of the executive director and signaled that he was ready to sing.
The executive director gave Du Xinghe a countdown prompt in the headphones: "3...... 2…… 1…… Walk. ”
With the instructions of the executive director, Du Xinghe gently plucked the strings and opened his voice in a soft voice.
He sang Zhao Zhao's "When You're Old".
This song was dedicated to his mother.
More than half a month ago, when he opened his eyes from the hospital bed. When he first saw his mother's hair turn gray, his whole world was turned upside down. The impact was as great as he had ever died before!
In my memory, the beautiful mother has become so vicissitudes of aging. This is really something that Du Xinghe can't imagine and can't accept!
At this moment, imagining the shock of that moment, and also imagining the moment when the future mother really gets old, his singing voice slowly spreads-
……
When you're old~your hair is gray~
Drowsy and groggy~
When you're old~you can't walk anymore~
Take a nap by the fire ~ reminiscing about youth ~
……
As soon as the first section came out, the four tutors immediately knew what song Du Xinghe was singing. This song was sung by Karen Mok at the Spring Festival Gala before, and it is one of the more popular songs this year.
There are many singers who have sung this song, and the four mentors have also heard different versions, but as soon as the new student's version appeared, or rather, when his voice appeared, the four mentors all felt that their hearts became very calm, which is a very wonderful feeling, because only the voice that can show great imagination can make the singing voice make people's mood peaceful and calm, but any little restless sound cannot make people's mood completely peaceful.
And this new student, his singing voice seems to be very flat, there are no waves, but his singing voice is pregnant with a special magnetism, which can be said to be a unique story-type quality, this kind of voice you may not remember it at once, but as long as you hear it, you will immediately be inspired by a lot of vicissitudes or ethereal imagination, a bit of Eason Chan's texture of seeing the truth in simplicity.
In just this small section, the four tutors all had a deep first impression of Du Xinghe's singing.
Especially Wang Feng, he heard that Du Xinghe was playing and singing by himself, and did not ask for other bands to accompani, the texture of this independent folk song is a temperament he likes very much. Hungry, he almost didn't immediately slap the button to turn around for Du Xinghe.
But it's a pity that his hand is a step slower, Na Ying, who is a scramble, when Du Xinghe sang the first sentence of the Xiao Gao-Chao section, an inexplicable tear welled up in his heart, as the only female mentor this season, she was sensitive and sensitive, and she slapped the button to Du Xinghe without hesitation, and she was the first to turn around!
Du Xinghe didn't close his eyes and sing, he stood in the center of the stage, holding the guitar, his mind was full of his mother's hard work, his eyes were completely scattered, he saw Na Ying turn around for him, but his mood was not affected in any way, immersed in Zhao Zhao's touching song "When You Are Old", he restrained his feelings and sang deeply-
……
How many people have loved the hour of your youth singing~
I love your beauty ~ fake or sincere ~ Only one person still loves your pious soul~
Love the wrinkles on your old face~
……
When you're old~your eyebrows are lowered~
The lights are dim~
The wind blows ~ your news ~ This is the song in my heart~
……
A small high-tide cycle singing, Du Xinghe's singing voice has been as calm as a pen at the beginning, outlining a picture of an old man in his last years. Most people know that this song is dedicated to his mother by the author, so when Du Xinghe sang here, everyone was moved by Du Xinghe's deep monologue, and many people had in their minds what their mother looked like in her twilight years, and the feeling of sadness and heartbreak involuntarily came to mind, and the eyes of soft-hearted people had begun to get wet.
After Na Ying turned around, she saw a middle-aged uncle singing with a guitar, the lonely voice, with such a connotative singing voice, made her sensitive suffer an inexplicable impact, and her tears took out of her eyes for some reason, this situation made her realize that Du Xinghe's singing charm was stronger than she imagined. Such a singing voice is like a wisp of clear water in the impetuous social Shura field, which is really commendable.
After listening to the end of the first paragraph of Du Xinghe, Wang Feng felt a simple but supreme realm of Du Xinghe's unity of the piano, and finally couldn't hold it back, and "snapped" to Du Xinghe and turned around for him!
In the second studio, Hua Shao had told Liu Yun and Du Jianhua before, when your son performs, you must cheer for him and help him turn around. But Liu Yun and Du Jianhua are both cultural people, and their personalities are more introverted, so let them shout "turn", "turn" and "turn", they really can't shout, they both like to hide their feelings in their hearts.
Just when Du Xinghe sang the first sentence "When you are old", Liu Yun couldn't hold back and began to wipe her tears, but she kept her mouth closed, only choking her throat, and not letting herself cry. just endured it so hard to help Du Xinghe support the field. She knew that the shots of her and Du Jianhua in Studio 2 would also be on TV when the time came, and she didn't want Du Xinghe to see them crying, and she didn't like to cry with joy. Now she just wants Du Xinghe to live peacefully and sing steadily, which is enough. (To be continued......)
