Volume 1 The Story Begins with Tian Tian Chapter 061 Singing Competition
Tang Dashu is only seventeen years old this year, and he is in the stage of adolescence and voice change, and his voice is still sharp, so the most distinctive part in singing is the treble part. This feature has been continued later, such as "Love is You and Me", "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and other things are handy, and they have repeatedly performed brilliantly with their partners in KTV, which is a reserved program.
However, he prefers Cantonese songs, and in this regard, he is confident that he can bite the words more accurately than any student at school. After graduating, he worked in the south for three years, but he didn't learn anything else, and with his good language talent, he did gain in learning Cantonese. Of course, this matter is currently classified and absolutely unknown.
The 90s was the time when Hong Kong and Taiwan singers were popular, and the economy was strong and naturally had more right to speak, so at this time, the streets and alleys could hear music that was pleasant but could not understand the lyrics, but it would not affect the spread, and even the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala were made fun of Cantonese people speaking Mandarin. As a trendsetter of the times, if the students in school can't hum a few Cantonese songs, they don't count as singing, and they don't know that the Four Heavenly Kings, Zuo Lin Right Li, Luo Dayou, etc. are otaku of the times.
If you sing Cantonese songs in a singing competition and use guitar accompaniment, I believe it will make a strong impression on the judges and the audience. And on a stage like a school, the impression is the ballot.
The main reason is that the news that Tian Tian may also appear gives Tang Dashu the motivation to compete, otherwise he would not struggle to get up---- how nostalgic is the hot quilt nest in winter? Especially if there is no requirement to go out on holidays!
Xu Feng's original song was indeed "You at the Same Table", but he immediately fell into confusion after being "vetoed" by the collective. After all, I am not a professional singer, and as a vocational student at the same level as high school, how difficult it is to prepare a fairly proficient tune!
So the result of the two of them is that the campus folk songs are too popular, don't Tang Dashu can sing Xu Feng can't play, Xu Feng can't play Tang Dashu don't be good at singing... In the end, I chose a song "Fake Monk" by Cui Jian.
Tang Dashu chose it because this song is very in line with his current state of mind: lovelorn, lonely, stubborn, self... Brother is brother, blooming different fireworks. According to analysis, the lyrics of "False Monk" are full of irony, and there is also an image of rebellion, but also a kind of self-expression, and there is a distinct personal heroism.
Cui Jian, like him, rejects love and everything else as the coordinates of his actions.
And Xu Feng's choice of it is purely simple tune. For this "rising star" in the music industry, it is important to ensure that he does not make mistakes in his first competition under unwell conditions, and secondly, this song is the only one that can cooperate with each other after the discussion between the two, and he values Tang Dashu's voice and the feelings expressed in the song more. In order to discuss the best, Tang Dashu sang a total of five songs.
Another song selected was Chen Baiqiang's "What to Ask for in Life", which was also a very popular song at the time, and the reason for the selection was that it could have a bonus in Cantonese and Xu Feng. The reason why I use it as a substitute is because it is a test of my personal playing level, and it is still very raw for the time being, and it takes time to practice. If the preliminary round can be shortlisted, this song will be used as the final round.
The rest of the time is to memorize the lyrics and practice the tunes. Tang Dashu was already experienced in a hundred battles, and he had just participated in the debate competition, so there was nothing to say about the on-site experience. However, because Xu Feng was in battle for the first time, he spent half a day fantasizing about various performances on stage, which caused Tang Dashu to comfort him instead: "You just play the guitar, it's not you who sings, you're nervous!" "I don't have diamonds, and I dare to do magnetic work, and I didn't see my brother singing so well and didn't go to the competition!
Because of the rehearsal, the plan to find an opportunity to ask Tian Tian had to be canceled, but I don't know if she really participated. It would be nice to see her in the arena, and naturally continue the good feeling of last night, maybe she can achieve something beautiful.
At lunchtime, many people in the class knew that Tang Dashu was going to perform on stage, so they all said that they wanted to go to the stage.
Don't talk about grades and popularity, Tang Dashu still mixes very well, especially with girls. Because Dian Yuanyuan, Li Ping and others are cadres of the Youth League Society, they must attend this kind of activity organized by the League, and Shen Jing is also happy to applaud and cheer him at the dinner table.
In colleges and universities, grades are important, but various activities and competitions are also essential. The former strengthens people's minds, and the latter exercises people's abilities, both of which are righteous paths.
Singing is not as good as dancing, the latter is a niche activity, and singing is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. The New Year's Day singing competition was held in the school auditorium. It is said to be an auditorium, but it is actually a corner of the restaurant, which originally had a stage and a curtain. However, there can be a lot of people sitting in the audience, and it was originally a restaurant, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
Before seven o'clock in the evening, the restaurant was already full. If it were normal times, a singing contest would not be so sensational, and the key is that this New Year's Day is Wednesday. I don't pick up and down, and I have to go to class tomorrow, so some of the students who are ready to play all night are here, and the students who have nothing to do are also here, plus the judges and teachers and the cadres of the group of teachers, all together.
It was not until this time that Tang Dashu was sure that Tian Tian really participated, and he sang the song "Is It Snowing There" that he has never forgotten!
Because it is a preliminary round, there are as many as 40 singers who have signed up. These people will select the top 10 to compete in the final round to be held this Saturday night and determine the final position, and I have heard that the prizes are huge, even if the encouragement prizes (which are traditionally for the participants) are good and attractive.
Because of the large number of participants, only the three consecutive people who are about to play will prepare in advance behind the scenes, and everyone else will sit in the audience. So Tang Dashu didn't see Tian Tian, which is a pity. I just met yesterday, and I have a good impression, and I want to consolidate the results today, but I don't know if there is a chance.
The singers are all amateurs, and the level is naturally uneven. Even if you sing well, you are only competing for your good voice, and you can't talk about your skills, after all, you are not from a conservatory of music. But fortunately, everyone is very serious, and the interaction between the audience is also very warm, but it is also lively.
Except for the students who came in halfway, the rest of the audience basically took the class as a link, and Tang Dashu and Xu Feng were naturally with the main force. The two only remember coming in eighth---- which was not a good time, but it was by no means bad. After the third song, a program list came from Dian Yuanyuan, and Tian Tian was found in his thirties, almost at the bottom.
But he couldn't think about it too much, he and Xu Feng were about to prepare. There are so many people, it's fake to say that you are not nervous, the first three singers have obvious trills in two tones, and one forgot the words halfway through singing, they must all be nervous ghosts. Fortunately, his on-the-spot ability has been exercised in the workplace, and no one can see that he is actually a little apprehensive in his heart, and he can only see a super calm Tang Dashu. Instead, he was comforting Xu Feng: "After the host reports the scene, don't start in a hurry, adjust your state first." ”
Xu Feng completely lost his previous high-spirited performance, and sweat broke out on his forehead in the winter. He is not a very outgoing person in the first place, and it is the first time he has played, so it is inevitable that there will be some reactions. I believe that in this state, if it is self-playing and singing, there will be a question mark over whether it can be completely over. However, looking at Tang Dashu, who was calm and calm, he suddenly felt that he had a backbone in his heart, maybe it was really a lucky time to be on stage with him tonight.
The long and exciting wait was until the host announced: "The next song "Fake Monk", sung by the two classmates of the 96 higher vocational class, Tang Dashu and Xu Feng, everyone is welcome!" The hearts of the two of them sank to their stomachs. Shrinking the head and stabbing it is death, stretching out the head is not necessarily, when it comes, the courage is stronger, maybe this is the momentum of young people, right?
Compared with the first seven singers, who were all musical accompaniments, Xu Feng hugged the guitar and Tang Dashu caused a small sensation when they entered. In these years, people with skills are more popular than people without skills, and the idea of not avoiding oneself in Tang Dashu, two handsome artistic guys with good manners appeared, and it should attract attention.
It is appropriate for the higher vocational class to take the lead in warming up, thanks to a few well-known boys who love to coax such as Zhan Jianxun and Lu Changrong, and their role is reflected at this time. Of course, what is remarkable is that all the girls are not suspicious of hiding in the circle of male classmates and screaming, Tang Dashu can see Shen Jing clapping her hands very unladylikely, and he can vaguely hear her scream. From this point of view, the 96 higher vocational class deserves to be a united class and a friendly class.
"False Monk" is a very famous rock song, the tune is not complicated, and this is also a song that makes Xu Feng, who is not in a good state, more satisfied. In order to attract the firepower (attention) as much as possible and make Xu Feng feel more comfortable, Tang Dashu imitated the appearance of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, picked up the microphone and waved his hand as he walked: "Friends in the audience, how are you?!" ”
The laughter sounded, and the louder the coaxing became, although this kind of trick could not be more old-fashioned at the concert, but as a student, he dared to make it on this occasion, which was absolutely unprecedented in Beijing Institute of Technology. No matter how well you sing, as a "singer", you must first calm the scene, so that the momentum will naturally come, and rock songs are suitable for singing like this. This is also Tang Dashu's words to comfort Xu Feng: "Only by showing your face can you save your face." "It's almost shameless to emphasize.
There was Tang Dashu's gag, Xu Feng calmed down for a while, and felt much more natural. The 30-second guitar foreshadowing is very natural, and it can be seen that Xu Feng still has some skills, at least he has stage fright, and the guitar is still played in an orderly manner. This time is enough for Tang Dashu to brew his tone:
"I'm going from south to north
I'm going to go from white to black
I want people to see me
But don't know who I am..."
At first, I couldn't let go of it, but I felt like I was singing. There is only one Tang Dashu in the world, and only his greatest wish after being reborn is not to aim at the high-ranking officials Houlu or even to yearn for a life of drunken dreams and death, and beautiful women like clouds, but to pursue his own dreams.
The dream of youth, the dream of beauty.
