Chapter 350: I Love His Song
Zhang Sheng participated in the North American "Singer".
This matter has sparked heated discussions in China.
Zhang Sheng was also blocked at the airport because of this.
Kylin Video Network actually didn't promote this show so hard.
There is no need to advertise it as such.
Zhang Sheng himself has an amazing amount of traffic.
Now, the fifth episode of the show is on the air.
Although the Kylin video network is not synchronized, after the opposite side is played, it will be launched immediately.
Zhang Sheng's North American "Singer" won the championship!
As soon as this news came out, it was on the hot search in an instant, and it was at the top of the list in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the news came back, the website was already online.
Instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
A Chinese singer, competing with their singers on a North American music program, won the championship in one fell swoop.
To say that it is taller, that is to fight for the championship for the country.
Domestic fans are naturally curious about how Zhang Sheng won the championship.
Under Zhang Sheng's Weibo, there are words such as "cow break" and "awesome".
Isn't it amazing?
It's amazing.
won a first place as a Chinese singer.
It's really hard.
But Zhang Sheng did it.
And this matter has obviously caused quite a stir in the domestic music circle.
Among them, Han Qing and other singers who are familiar with Zhang Sheng couldn't help but sigh on Weibo.
Other singers who are not familiar with Zhang Sheng are also indispensable to express their admiration.
As for whether it was really admiration, a voice of admiration, or some other purpose, it is unknown.
Maybe it's the heat.
Maybe I want to pat Zhang Sheng's ass.
Zhang Sheng is definitely a big man in the circle now.
He's not just talented, he's capital.
The kind with abundant capital.
Naturally, he is not as good as a sycophant.
In fact, it is not only the domestic music circle that has caused a sensation.
It's the same in North America.
Because after "We Will Rock You" appeared on the major music charts in Europe and the United States, Gaga's indiscriminate killing, almost unbeatable.
Straight to the top of the list.
It can be said to blind the eyes of countless people.
That's the work of a Chinese singer!
Zhang Sheng became famous in a fight.
The company team registered him with an account on Twitter.
The attention instantly exceeded hundreds of thousands, and in the blink of an eye, it broke millions.
One can imagine how hot he is.
Of course, compared with those North American singers competing on the same stage, Zhang Sheng's popularity and popularity are obviously a lot worse.
Even among those singers, Zhang Sheng is the least popular, and Zhang Sheng can't compare to him.
This is just the beginning, though.
Zhang Sheng went to Los Angeles this time, and did not stay with his cousin anymore, but stayed in the hotel arranged by the program team.
I poured a jet lag at the hotel.
The next day, John came to pick him up and go to the recording scene.
Rehearsals, recordings, and basically toss into the evening.
"Congratulations, your song is now in the top ten of the major music charts, look at its popularity, the top of the list is expected." John smiled and chatted with Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng is on fire, and he will also follow the camera more.
And the better Zhang Sheng's performance, the longer he will stay on this show.
The exposure of this show is amazing.
Perhaps, his career can improve because of this.
"Thank you, I borrowed your good words." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.
Is "We Will Rock You" expected to top the charts?
There must be.
In addition to the quality of the song itself, I am afraid it is also related to the popularity of the show.
The song is good, the platform is good, how can it be buried?
"You were the first in the last period, so it is unlikely that you will be eliminated in this period." John said, "What song are you going to sing this episode?" β
"Mandarin song!" Zhang Sheng smiled and said.
The first in the last period, this issue is much less naturally stressful.
Singing a Chinese song can be regarded as an explanation to domestic fans.
He sang English songs on the stage of "Singer" in North America, which was naturally criticized by some people in China.
Although the public opinion is not very big and within the controllable range, if you keep singing English songs, I am afraid it is also a little inappropriate.
What's more, Zhang Sheng himself also feels that as a Chinese singer, it is indeed a little unreasonable not to sing Chinese songs on this stage.
John obviously didn't expect it, and when he heard Zhang Sheng say that he was going to sing a Chinese song, he showed a surprised expression.
He didn't say anything, though.
What singer sings, the program team generally does not interfere, not to mention that he is just a temporary agent.
Before, John didn't know much about Zhang Sheng.
But now that I understand it, I'm a little cautious.
This person is not only a singer, director, and actor, he is also the planner and copyright owner of the show "Singer".
really annoyed him, and I guess I'm going to roll up and leave.
The program team will definitely give him this face.
Perhaps, singing Chinese songs can give the audience a sense of freshness.
You're red and surrounded by good people.
This is true in the domestic entertainment industry, and it is obviously the same abroad.
Zhang Sheng obviously felt that both the staff of the show and the singers were obviously more friendly and enthusiastic to him than before.
Shortly after the rehearsal, the game will begin.
He rehearsed at the back.
Before the game, it is natural that the draw will determine the order.
"How many would you like to play?" Dolly asked Zhang Sheng with a smile.
"Ah, me?" Zhang Sheng saw the others looking at him, and then smiled, "First! β
"Why?" Ella asked, confused.
Others were also surprised.
Everyone knows that the order of appearance also has an impact on the ranking.
The last one to play, with a big advantage.
"Get on stage early, the performance is over, it's time to take a break!" Zhang Sheng said, "Jet lag is very tiring. β
"It's good to have no rest!" Borui looked at Zhang Sheng and said.
However, Zhang Sheng's mental state seems to be good.
"It's fine!" Zhang Sheng said, "The main thing is to return to China immediately after recording the show, and take a break." β
"Why is the schedule so full?" Robertson said, "Isn't there a saying in your country called the combination of work and rest? β
"Oh, it's not that the schedule is full." Zhang Sheng said, "I made a movie before, and I needed to keep an eye on it in post-production. In addition, there are also songs that are ready for contesting. β
This topic will only be talked about in two sentences, and it will not be talked about deeply.
Zhang Sheng is not only a singer, but also an actor and director.
Robertson and others naturally heard about it.
It is said that the movies he wrote and directed were very popular in China.
The box office does not seem to be less than one billion Chinese dollars.
One of them is more than 3 billion Chinese dollars.
Converted to dollars, that's more than 600 million.
It's remarkable.
A movie can break 600 million, and it is very good to put it in Hollywood.
And it's just a single market.
The order was quickly determined.
Zhang Sheng was not the first to play, but he was also forward.
He was the third to appear.
The first is Borui.
His performance is stable, and the audience reaction seems to be better than in the previous period.
Theodore, who then appeared on the stage, sang a jazz-style song.
The audience also seemed to have a good response.
After Theodore, Zhang Sheng took the stage.
The audience's response was as enthusiastic as other singers on stage.
There was also a lot of shouting.
Zhang Sheng didn't say anything, and nodded at the band.
βAve Mariaβ
At first, it was like a silent statement, and then the depressed and black atmosphere conveyed by the female voice BGM undoubtedly set the tone for this song.
Nearly a minute later, the real intro begins, with drums, guitars, and goosebump-inducing screams kicking off the song's mystery.
The song is: "In the Name of the Father".
Whether it was the audience or other singers, they all showed surprise at this time.
And when Zhang Sheng spoke, they were even more surprised.
This time he actually sang a Chinese song.
"The cool morning dew, the wet black dress, the fog on the stone road, my father is whispering. Mercious Father, I have fallen into the kingdom of sin, and I do not see it. Forgive me, my conceit is engraved with a sense of loneliness."
The style of the song "In the Name of the Father" is particularly easy to remember, coupled with the special collocation of retro music piano, supplemented by the fusion of Italian and opera, the tune jumps out of the general pop music style, and the style is even more eye-catching.
The main chorus part, first enter the first rap, this rap is different from other raps, it has a seemingly helpless sense of persecution, and there is an obvious echo of the urging and shouting at the beginning.
This undoubtedly further deepens the black atmosphere and unknown color of the song.
So that the listener can have a more three-dimensional and more tangible feeling.
The arrangement of this song is also operatic, which matches the overall feel and theme of the song.
The lyrics are based on "Heavenly Father, Godfather, and Father", explaining the godfather's helplessness, father's compassion, and heavenly father's selflessness.
It shows that in order to reach the top, a person must give up some freedoms and concepts that he should have, but often behind the glory he gets only lonely companionship, and the innocent days of the past no longer exist and cannot be repeated.
This song has a strong story.
The occasional "scream" that jumps out can be seen as a clown who suddenly peeks out of the night with half of his head.
The audience couldn't understand the lyrics, but they felt a sense of urgency, as if they were pretending to be calm, as if they were pretending to be okay before they died.
At the end of the song, a piano fades in, and the insertion of the female voice re-emphasizes the oppressive and black color output, and the rap stops to form a restless and serene contrast with the piano and the female voice.
This seems to imply that you are powerless in the face of something helpless.
The gunfire inside is also very cleverly laid out.
After the last shot was fired, the shouting and moaning had brought the whole song to a close.
At the end of the song, the melody that runs through the whole song is about to end, and the terrifying and eerie screams gradually increase at this time, more like the last cry and struggle.
The sudden screaming was interrupted for a moment, and before "it was just dawning", there was a sudden more scream.
The song ends.
There was silence in the audience.
"This song seems to tell a story that is not told deep inside."
Borui suddenly said to his temporary agent next to him.
His temporary agent could only nod in agreement.
He didn't understand.
"The arrangement is amazing." Robertson came back to his senses and said, "The composition part is also very interesting, there is no particularly obvious chorus part, and the melody loops low, supporting his RAP. Whether it's the piano SOLO or bel canto, or the prelude prayer, or the gunshots, it's more like the bridge and soundtrack in the movie. β
"I love his song! The prelude to his song uses many delicate techniques to make people think deeply. β
Robertson seems to really like it, and there is a lot of Mandarin.
"Thank you! I'm Zhang Sheng, a singer from China! β
Zhang Sheng said a word, and then got off the stage.
