Chapter 31 Opening Ceremony
August 8, 2022 at 8 p.m.
The opening ceremony of the quadrennial Global Games will begin at the Phoenix Returning Nest Stadium in China.
The opening ceremony will be broadcast live in more than 100 countries around the world.
The rare event, which was held in the powerful ancient country of the East, attracted far more attention than before.
After dinner, many people start to stay in front of their computers or televisions, counting the time expectantly.
I am more active than ever to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The squares of various cities are much quieter tonight than before, which makes many overtime parties a little uncomfortable.
"Where did the aunts run away today? Why don't you dance? ”
"It is said that I went to watch the opening ceremony of the Games."
"Oh yes, the opening ceremony, hurry up, get off work early today!"
At eight o'clock, the audience was seated, the leaders gave speeches, and the athletes entered.
At nine o'clock, the opening ceremony performance officially began.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"It's time to start!"
"Sit down!"
"Quiet!"
Countless people who stood in front of the TV were in high spirits.
Those who play with their mobile phones put down their mobile phones in their hands.
Those who are chatting with people also stop talking.
Busy people pause what they're doing for a while.
Many people who didn't have time to rush home gathered under a huge screen in a certain square.
Everyone looked up, eyes fixed on the screen.
Looking forward to it.
The next moment, on the huge dark stage, the soft lights gradually lit up, and a band of more than 500 people appeared neatly in the spotlight.
They were dressed in uniform costumes, their expressions were solemn and solemn, and they condensed a momentum of being ready to go, like an army about to go to battle.
They sat in an arc, with a small area in the middle, and it was pitch black.
In the midst of all the bated breath.
The information of the work appears on the live broadcast screen:
Victory
Composer: Whale Fall
Performers: Whale Fall, China Night Weiyang Symphony Orchestra.
Who is Whale Fall?
Many people immediately had such doubts in their hearts.
There are also people who know this name and rub their eyes in a letter that they dare not believe?
How is this possible?
How could it be a whale fall?
Why is it a whale fall?
Strictly speaking, although Yu Hai has released some songs under the name of Whale Fall before and has also become a gold medal composer, this name is quite unfamiliar to many people who do not pay attention to the music industry.
After all, the composer is also a behind-the-scenes job.
Just before anyone could recover from the composer's message.
The orchestra conductor raised his baton.
In the next second, the rhythm of cello as the mainstay, violin and soft drum sound sounded, not slow, smooth and powerful.
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted.
From the very beginning, they felt a sense of majesty.
Then the sound of the piano joins, with encouragement and motivation, and the army is overwhelming, and we need to work together.
This was the preparation before the war, and many people suddenly had such a feeling in their hearts.
Good music has such a charm, there is no need for lyrics, the melody is the best interpretation.
It's going to be a war!
From the very beginning, the music captivated everyone's ears and aroused everyone's emotions.
They seem to be able to imagine a magnificent scene through music, heavy, magnificent, and magnificent.
In the 32nd second, the heavy drum beat fell, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the atmosphere was majestic.
This is a moment of severity, and every drum beat is a build-up of strength that builds up the courage and strength of everyone to fight.
"Bang! Bang bang bang ......"
The heavy drum beat is like a beating on the hearts of all the listeners, powerful, heavy, and pressing.
In the huge stadium, there was silence in the crowded audience, and everyone's emotions were brought into the music, and their faces were serious and calm.
Especially the athletes sitting in front of them. They felt the blood boiling in their chests, the desire for victory began to pile up layer by layer, condensed, and their muscles tensed unconsciously.
The scene of urgency is coming, becoming more and more tense, more and more urgent, and more and more difficult to contain.
It was as if the heart had been caught, and it was beginning to be difficult to breathe.
A minute later, all the band members were moving, and the atmosphere was tense and urgent.
The indomitable momentum was piled up to the top.
Such a scene seems to tell everyone that we have made sufficient preparations, and the soldiers of the whole army are like bows and arrows with a full string, ready to attack.
We are not afraid of life and death, we are not afraid of swords and guns, and we will not hesitate to fight the consequences.
In every home, on the street, outside the subway station, outside the square, everywhere the lights are on, everyone is looking up, with serious expressions, staring intently at the screen.
Their eyes were hot, their emotions tense, and their momentum was high.
Just when everyone's emotions were mobilized, their fists clenched excitedly, and their enthusiasm was not vented, a light suddenly lit up in the originally dark place in the center of the stage.
A slender figure, draped in a black cloak, was slowly carried to the center of the stage by the lifting platform.
Who's this?
What is he going to do?
This kind of doubt came to everyone's minds.
In the next second, Yu Hai slowly raised his head, and the soft light completely presented his handsome face in front of the global audience.
Like the most perfect work of art, flawless, Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world.
It's thrillingly beautiful, and it's miserable handsome.
Anyone who saw this face, for a moment, seemed to have forgotten even to breathe.
At this moment, many people even forget where they are for a moment, their eyes are fixed on the screen, and they can't take their eyes off.
At a glance, it is nothing more than that.
In this world, how can there be such good-looking human beings?
Is this what the world should be?
He is...... Who??!!
Then, they saw that the man, who looked like a passerby, raised his hand and held on to the microphone stand.
In the hot eyes of everyone's expectation, doubt, and curiosity, his lips opened slightly.
In the next second, a high-pitched, thorough, passionate, androgynous voice accompanied by the ticking of the clock sounded in everyone's ears, until it broke into everyone's hearts and set off huge waves.
It was as if the soul was shaken by the sound of heaven, which made everyone lose their minds, fall, unable to resist, and unable to extricate themselves.
The thorough feeling that the heavenly spirit cover had been lifted jumped straight to the door of the head from the soles of the feet.
Shivering.
This voice injects hope into the desolation and tragedy, turning a thousand times and reverberating.
At this moment, someone opened their mouths wide and was dumbfounded, and someone was shocked and moved and burst into tears.
Some people stood up as soon as they were excited, while others were weak and slumped in their chairs.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds at this time:
In this world, how can there be such a beautiful sound?
Is this a human voice?
It's not a human being standing on the stage, is it?
Their emotions were controlled by the voice, and they couldn't help themselves, they got carried away.
In the chanting, some people heard the tragedy of the strong man who never returned, and some people heard the courage of pride.
More people feel that there is a wave of anger in their chests that is aroused, agitated and agitated.
This heavenly sound is a clarion call for progress, and it is also a blessing and encouragement from God to the earth.
Because of His presence, we have nothing to fear.
Then there is the sonorous voice of the chorus, short and firm, as if cheering for the soldiers.
"At the Dawn"
"After Dusk"
"Never Ending"
……
The original lyrics of Victory are in English, here changed by Yu Hai into Chinese, and each word is sung so short that many people would not even recognize the specific content if it were not for subtitles.
But no one cares.
The melody is enough to make the theme clear.
We are about to enter the battlefield, we will give it our all, and we will win.
It's a song that motivates athletes.
In the field of the Games, isn't it necessary to have such a spirit of fighting against the odds?
After all, there is only one champion.
The athletes at the scene only felt passionate and adrenaline soaring at this time, as if they had been stimulated.
Come on! Fight for victory!
At this moment, I have nothing to fear!
The chorus ends with the violins, and the rhythm gradually eases down, a short pause after a charge.
The violin's voice is long, full of helplessness and sadness.
It's a mourning, but also a sigh.
Then the piano progressed layer by layer, and Yu Hai raised his hands again.
Everyone subconsciously slows down their breathing and prepares for God's baptism.
In their expectant gaze, Yu Hai stood at a distance of one meter from the microphone, his lips slightly open, and his voice filled his ears.
Welcome to the sound of heaven!
His expression was calm and calm, and he sang effortlessly and lifted his weight.
There is a gelding singer on Earth, Farinelli, who is said to have a vocal range of more than three octaves.
Yu Hai, who turned on the sound of heaven, could easily reach this level.
Even if they have been prepared, when many people hear this natural sound again, they are still full of excitement, their pores are dilated, and their whole body is soft.
It felt like the soul was washed over.
Don't get me wrong, it's just cool!
Sing a little more, keep going, don't stop!
The rhythm of the music gradually accelerates, and the drums, pianos and other instruments support the high-pitched vocals, which is the determination to fight in one go, the firmness to win, and the ambition to completely destroy the opponent.
This is also the dawn of victory in sight, the final charge.
The music was like a wave after a wave, pouring towards the audience.
Many people's faces were already red.
Some people clung to the armrests of the seats with both hands, some leaned forward, stretched their necks just to get closer to the stage, and some people stood up, even with the people in the back row, they all stood up in an uproar, forming a square.
On the stage, the chorus joined, like a guard guarding the main general's side, wanting to become a strong barrier, and it was impossible to do it.
Yu Hai's beautiful singing and musical instrument performance are perfectly integrated, and in a thousand turns, it depicts a magnificent scene for everyone.
There is a sense of tragedy, anger and hope in the hearts of the people.
War is cruel, there are losses and wins, sacrifices and redemptions.
It's the same in the arena, there is only one champion, and there are always people who can only look up to others to reach the top.
So, athletes, as long as we do our best, as long as we fight hard, even if the result is not satisfactory, there will be no regrets.
After four minutes and fifty seconds, the battle was over, everything was calm again, and the music returned to the slow and powerful rhythm of the cello at the beginning, and the sound gradually became smaller until it stopped.
End of the show.
