Chapter 151: Prose Poems Written by My Father
"It was autumn, and the wind was so lingering.
"Reminds me of them, those helpless eyes ......"
In the prelude to the intro strings, Li Caiwei raised the microphone and began to sing with love for parents and children.
The song "It's Dawn" was written, composed and sung by Han Hong, and arranged by Xiao Ke. In 2001, the song won awards such as the Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year.
The song continued to be sung when a loud bang was heard that shook the valley.
The audience felt the sadness in the song, and their hearts began to tug.
Fang Xing sat in the rest room, listening to Li Caiwei's singing, and felt that her singing had exceeded his expectations.
After this song was sent to her, I only heard her rehearse it twice in the company, and then she didn't continue to follow, but went to prepare her own song.
Therefore, it is not clear to what extent Li Caiwei can sing this song later.
However, when I heard the main song today, I knew that she had really been looking for the emotions in the song these days, and she did catch it.
This song, if it is sung by a young female singer who has no children, it is difficult to sing that emotion.
After having a child and becoming a mother, there will be more emotions in my heart that are soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
Li Caiwei put this emotion into the song and interpreted the song very movingly.
When the last chorus was sung, Fang Xing was even a little moved.
"I wanted to hold his hand tightly
"My mom told me I hope there will be more
"See the sun come out
They laughed
"It's dawn......"
Some of the more emotional audience at the scene began to redden, and they sobbed quietly.
Singer rest area.
Shen Xiyin listened to the whole song, and her eyes were full of envy.
She really envied Li Caiwei.
Obviously, when she was in "Tomorrow's Star", she was Fang Xing's mentor.
But it's only been a few months, and it's time to be in "Singing".
Fang Xing became the starting singer, and she was just a kicking singer.
The starting singer is nothing.
However, she was able to win the first place in every competition, which made her not know what expression to use to face Fang Xing.
Moreover, she was very sure that Fang Xing didn't rely on luck to win the first place.
Especially in "Blue and White Porcelain", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Qili Xiang", the absolute crushing won, and no one can shake the first position.
If that's all there is, it's nothing.
What makes her even more envious is that Li Caiwei got the song produced by Fang Xing, and it seems that she is going to kill indiscriminately in "Singing".
After listening to this song "It's Dawn", Shen Xiyin didn't dare to think that the song he sang just now could compete with this song.
Although there are three singers behind, Shen Xiyin already knows in his heart that this song "It's Dawn" is definitely at the level of protecting two and fighting for one.
Whether you can take the first place depends on what song you sing in the back.
Li Caiwei was originally just a quasi-first-line singer, and she has been silent for several years.
If it weren't for Fang Xing's sudden appearance and giving Li Caiwei a chance to take off again, Li Caiwei would most likely remain silent, and it would be difficult to have a chance to turn over.
However, because of Fang Xing's appearance, Li Caiwei was given the opportunity to sing in "Tomorrow's Star".
The song "Red Ling" directly brought Li Caiwei back to the public eye.
Immediately afterwards, another song "Painting Heart" directly slaughtered the list and became the hottest film and television golden song this year.
Now, on "Singing", it is another song "It's Dawn", showing the posture of reaching the top.
Shen Xiyin is really envious, these good songs, just give her a song, she can take off.
The debut of the girl group, although the first two years were very popular, but after the disbandment of the limited group, if there is no work out of the circle, it is basically outdated.
In fact, her original agency also sent a song invitation to Fang Xing Studio.
It's just that within a few days of sending it, I received a reply that politely refused.
Obviously, the plan to invite songs was not handed to Fang Xing at all, and it was returned in the business cooperation department of Songshi Records.
The reason for being returned is actually quite simple.
Her current limited group contract is still with Chaoyin Culture, and it will expire in eight months.
Now, Songshi Records and Chaoyin Culture are fighting so fiercely that it is unlikely to help her make songs at this time.
Therefore, she only has envy now.
……
In another lounge.
After listening to "It's Dawn", Liu Hongsheng's expression was even more exciting.
Last game.
Although he couldn't suppress "Blue and White Porcelain", at least he suppressed "Life Like a Summer Flower".
Therefore, he did not take Li Caiwei in his eyes in this scene.
He is a heavenly king, and he doesn't need to take a quasi-first-line singer in his eyes.
Not to mention.
In the last game, he had suppressed Li Caiwei and defeated the song produced by Fang Xing.
Therefore, he is very confident that he will pull one back in this game.
For this reason, he found Long Whale Records and recreated one of his golden songs that fits the theme of family affection.
Originally, he was full of confidence, but after listening to Li Caiwei's singing "It's Dawn".
He began to feel the slightest bit wrong.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, as a professional singer, he can hear that the lyrics and singing of this song are top-notch, and the emotions expressed are also strong to the extreme.
Especially in the last section of the chorus, the call is like a hammer that smashes into the hearts of the listeners.
When the picture swept over the audience, Liu Hongsheng even saw the audience's eyes sobbing red.
This made Liu Hongsheng nervous, and began to worry that the song he prepared might not be able to suppress "It's Dawn".
What worries him even more is that Fang Xing has not played yet, just a Li Caiwei has made him feel a great threat.
The songs that Fang Xing made for Li Caiwei are so tricky, what will happen when Fang Xing appears?
Liu Hongsheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
……
After Li Caiwei finished singing, He Hao came to the stage and praised: "Thank you Caiwei for bringing us such a moving song, and then, it will be the turn of the singer who produced this song." ”
When the audience heard this, they already knew who was going to appear on the stage, but this time the audience did not call out Fang Xing's name.
Because the audience at the scene was still immersed in the sad singing of "It's Dawn", they couldn't get out for a long time.
"Please Cai Wei go down and rest first, and we will invite the next singer." He Hao made a gesture of please.
Fang Xing walked out from the back of the stage and stood in front of the audience with a calm expression.
When the audience saw Fang Xing appear, some red-eyed viewers complained a little: "Why do you write such a sad song?" I can't even get out tonight. ”
He Hao began to ask questions before the competition: "Fang Xing, the theme of tonight's competition is family affection, we have listened to a song you made just now, which is to use a child's voice to tell the thoughts of your parents."
"You've listened to this song too, what do you think of Cai Wei's performance? Did you live up to your expectations? ”
Fang Xing nodded and replied: "It has exceeded my expectations, in fact, I have only listened to this song twice and rehearsed it, and then I began to prepare my own song." So, what the final presentation will be, I just knew. ”
He Hao began to do things: "Cai Wei's performance is already so good, do you still have the confidence to surpass her?" After all, you made both songs, which one do you think will move the audience more? ”
Fang Xing thought about it for a while and replied: "This is not necessarily, the feelings of the two songs are very sincere, I can only say that I will try my best to interpret the next song well, as for the final ranking, it all depends on the decision of the on-site hearing." ”
He Hao then asked: "Cai Wei sang "It's Dawn", which is to use a child's tone to tell her thoughts about her parents. So what is the song you are going to sing next? ”
Fang Xing said slowly: "It's about father and son. ”
He Hao continued to do things according to the intention of the chief director, and asked: "If you want to compare two songs, what is the difference between these two songs?" ”
Fang Xing thought about it for a while before replying: ""It's Dawn" is actually about an accident in which parents protected their children with their lives.
"The next song tells a more ordinary story, and most people have experienced it to a greater or lesser extent.
"So, the next song sings about the stories around everyone and the emotions in everyone's hearts."
He Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "I see, since it's all said here, let me tell you, what is the name of this song?" ”
"It's called 'Prose Poems Written by My Father.'"
Fang Xing slowly said the name of the song, and even when he read the name of the song, his voice entered the context of the song, and there was a kind of simplicity of seeing the truth in the peace.
"Okay, let's hand over the stage to Fang Xing, and the competition will officially begin." He Hao finished the last sentence and turned around and stepped down.
"Prose Poems Written by Father" is a song written by Dong Yufang and composed and sung by Xu Fei.
This song vividly illustrates the father's love and responsibility for his children, as well as the helplessness of the children when they perceive the passage of time and the father is old.
This song, Li Jian's cover version of "I Am a Singer", is more like a prose poem, and the emotions expressed are more touching.
Li Jian's cover version changed the lyrics and changed the daughter to a son, expressing the relationship between father and son.
It also makes this song more suitable for male voices.
Therefore, what Fang Xing wants to sing is also a version of Li Jian's cover.
The spotlight of the stage fell on Fang Xing, and the scene fell silent.
Fang Xing looked sideways in the direction of the band, signaling that the band could start.
A melodious and gentle piano prelude sounds.
Fang Xing listened to the prelude, slowly closed his eyes, and recalled the appearance of his father in his memory.
When the emotion was blocked in the throat, I gave birth to the feeling of not vomiting and unpleasant.
Fang Xing slowly raised the microphone and began to sing:
"In 1984, the crops were not yet harvested.
"My son was lying in my arms and sleeping so sweetly.
"Tonight's open-air movie, I don't have time to watch it.
"My wife reminded me to fix the pedals of the sewing machine.
"Tomorrow I'm going to my neighbor's house and borrow some more money......"
The main song uses plain words to tell the trivial things that a financially constrained family encounters in life.
It seems to be a flat story, but it is something that the previous generation has experienced to a greater or lesser extent.
Fang Xing has experienced it in two lifetimes, and Fang's father in this life, in order to buy an electronic piano for his son when he was a child, he also needed to ask relatives to borrow it.
Perhaps different from the TV plot, Fang's father was not coldly regarded by his relatives, and after buying an electronic piano for his son, he saved money and paid back the money little by little.
That incident was just a very ordinary thing, and the relatives also knew that Fang's father was going to buy an electronic piano for his son, so it was so refreshing to borrow money.
Fang's father and Fang's mother are the kind of characters who owe others a penny and feel uncomfortable, even if they are frugal, they have to pay back the money.
That period of the past, there was no grudge, no revenge and slapping in the face, it was just an ordinary thing in the life of that generation.
However, when Fang Xing saw the electronic piano that could still make sound in the past ten years, he knew how rare Fang's father was that piano.
Even if that piano is placed now, it is no longer worth much.
Fang Xing still remembers that in order to buy that electronic piano, he cried when he was a child.
Now that I think about it, I really didn't understand it at that time.
The lead song is sung to the last two lines:
"The child had been crying all day and clamoring for cookies.
"The blue polyester shirt is painful to my heart.
"Squatting on the edge of the pond and giving himself two punches......"
It's still a flat narrative, and the stories told have happened in thousands of families.
This kind of flat narrative is not difficult to sing, but it is very difficult to sing well.
The more ordinary the words, the more they need to be expressed with deep emotion.
Fang Xing spent two lifetimes of memories of his father, and sang this main song in a voice as smooth as poetry.
The story told also makes the audience empathize.
However, since the song is really flat, it is still difficult to impress the audience if it is just like this.
In the singer's rest room.
After listening to this main song, Liu Hongsheng showed a smile on his face.
Because the song is so peaceful, it's like a poetry recitation.
Even if he could hear it, Fang Xing used his solid vocal skills to interpret this main song just right, and he saw the truth in Pingtang.
It's just that on the competition stage of "Singing", Pingtang means that the ticket is low.
Originally, Liu Hongsheng was still worried that Fang Xing would also put a big move, so his fierce opponents tonight would not be one, but two.
Now, after listening to the main song, he is much more relieved, at least this flat prose poem is no match for the family song he wants to sing.
Judging from the current situation, tonight will be the first place for him and Li Caiwei.
In the end, he can't be sure who can win the first place, but even if he can't get the first place, as long as he defeats Fang Xing, he has already achieved his goal.
It's just that he didn't wait long for him to be happy.
"Prose Poems Written by Father" sang the chorus, and the melody and lyrics suddenly changed, and there was a big reversal.
"These are the words from my father's diary
"It's a legacy of his youth
"Prose poems left behind
"Years later, I watched it in tears
"My father is old like a shadow......"
As soon as the chorus came out, all the stories told in the previous main song were turned into the contents of my father's diary.
Originally, the main song was in the voice of his father, singing about the trivial matters of the family's life.
Because these short stories take place around thousands of viewers, it is easy for the audience to feel the emotions in the songs.
It's just that if these stories are just told in the voice of a father, then this song is too thin.
No anti-theft
The appearance of the chorus has taken the song to a new level.
The story told in the main song has become the text in my father's diary and the prose poems left by my father's youth.
By the time the son saw these words, the father was already old.
This relationship between father and son suddenly gushed out like a spring.
The melody and lyrics of the chorus are sung directly to the hearts of the audience.
The audience, who was originally just lamented by the trivial matters, suddenly tightened in their hearts, and involuntarily remembered their father.
I think of when I was a child, my father was running around for life.
At that time, my father may not have much ability, but he supported the family with his shoulders.
When you are not a parent, you will never know whether the emotions written by your father in your life are strong or ordinary.
When I have a child, I can really understand this feeling.
It was an emotion that could not be described in words.
No amount of flowery rhetoric is used to depict it, it will only make this relationship not pure enough.
Only by using the most simple words to tell those real life trivialities can people slowly experience the emotions expressed in the song.
This song, the beginning is flat, and as soon as the chorus comes out, it reminds the audience of the old father at home.
Let the audience at the scene begin to review themselves, how long has it been since they called home, how long has it been since they have seen their father's appearance, and whether there are many more gray hairs.
For the audience, "It's Dawn" is indeed very moving, but it is not a story that happened to him after all.
But "Prose Poems Written by Father" sings about the father in everyone's heart.
on stage.
Fang Xing poured out the emotions in his heart and finished the last chorus:
"This is the footprint left by that generation.
"After a few storms, the traces are about to be erased.
"This land brought tears to my eyes.
"It buries how many sad pasts.
"Oh...... Whining...... Woowoowoo......"
At the end of the last humming, Fang Xing put down the microphone, and his inhalation voice was moist and nasal.
Many viewers at the scene have already decided to make a phone call home when the show is over.
It's just that not every viewer still has the opportunity to call home.
Some middle-aged viewers have moist eye sockets.
At their age, many people have been teased by life and have forgotten how to cry.
However, when I remembered the old father in my memory, tears still soaked my eyes.
They have become fathers of their children, who are still young and may not understand this emotion.
But they thought that one day, when their children grew up and heard this song, they would also think of their father as they do now.
After Fang Xing finished singing, he lowered his head to collect his emotions and opened his eyes, letting the moisture in his eyes slowly dry out.
It's been a long time.
The scene slowly burst into applause.
The applause slowly became enthusiastic from the beginning of the sparse pulling.
Many tearful middle-aged audience members at the scene basically didn't applaud before, but this time they applauded desperately with red eyes.
The applause became more and more enthusiastic and enduring.
Until Fang Xing bowed and said, "Thank you." ”
The applause of the audience slowly slowed down and returned to quiet.
After returning to silence, the audience did not engage in head-to-ear discussions as before.
In the first few episodes of the show, after the song was sung, the audience at the scene would discuss whether the singing was good or not.
However, after listening to this "Prose Poem Written by My Father", after the audience applauded, they just sat in their seats and collected their emotions.
