Chapter 394: It's Time to Live at a Different Pace (5K)
"Looks like you're putting a lot of pressure on them, Xiao Zhou."
As the "captain" of the Chinese side this time, Wu Bixia, who was born in 1975, smiled at those people who were a few years older than herself, and teased.
Han Hong 1971, Sun Nan and Zhou Xiaoou 1969;
Mo Wenwei 1970, Qu Ying 1971, Sun Yue 1972.
The entire Chinese singer team is also 77-year-old Zhou Hui and 81-year-old Zhou Yi are younger than her in age, but she still overwhelmed Sun Yue with her excellent strength and achievements in the field of art, and became the "captain" of the team this time-
Because Zhou Yi is now also a member of the Music Association, to her is more or less half of her own person, Wu Bixia's attitude towards him is obviously more cordial than others.
Zhou Yi is responsible for the external face, and she is responsible for the lining of the formation.
In a sense, it can also be regarded as a two-person system.
"Sister Wu, I'm actually very nervous."
Zhou Yi lowered his head slightly, the expression on his face was not the slightest abnormal, and his mouth was slippery, and he also classified himself into the ranks of nervousness, jokingly: "You have to learn more from Sister Wu in this regard." ”
Wu Bixia, a top talent who has already played her own code name in the field of singers, is nicknamed "Oriental Nightingale".
Because her actual height is less than 1.5 meters, Wu Bixia was despised and persuaded by many people to retire when she first embarked on this road, but now she has become the "Oriental Nightingale" who can represent the official in various international occasions for artistic performances.
The effort and diligence put in is not enough for outsiders either.
Zhou Yi has always respected this kind of national team predecessors with tenacity and super strength.
Although she knew that this was just a polite remark, Wu Bixia still couldn't hide a smile on her face when she heard Zhou Yi say this: "When I performed abroad, after the people of those countries knew that I was from China, many people would blurt out your name - Yi Chou, Spike.
"For so many years, you are the first to have such a high-profile singer abroad."
She still understands the simple truth of the sedan chair being carried by everyone, especially since this is still a fact, not an apocryphal.
"Sister Wu is polite."
"I'm not polite, look who's coming?"
“?”
Zhou Yi slowly typed a question mark, then turned his head to look at Wu Bixia's line of sight, and a beautiful figure in a lady's suit immediately came into view-
There is a slight smile in the bright eyes, the short hair with the shoulders is slightly curled, and the tan hand-cut women's suit looks chic and capable.
Three-star little princess, Li Yinxin.
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Wu Bixia, who was on the side, got up from her seat with a smile and chose to leave under the pretext that she had something. Others, such as Sun Nan, Han Hong, Sun Yue and others, all looked back and forth on the two of them strangely, and then tacitly chose not to see it, and turned their heads to do their own thing.
"Why are you here?"
Li Yinxin shrugged her shoulders and threw her handbag to her place casually: "KBS executives gave me tickets at the dinner party before, and it just so happens that I am bored at home, and I am idle when I am idle, so I might as well come and see your performance." ”
"Then you're more at home than I thought." Zhou Yi pursed his lips noncommittally.
"Each other, each other."
Li Yinxin was not angry, knowing these days, she was already immune to Zhou Yi's cold poisonous tongue attribute, and she could even fight back with reciprocal sanctions: "There will be such a day in the future, when you grow up." ”
"You mean I'm not grown up yet?"
"Isn't it, little brother?"
Li Yinxin, who was sitting on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, spread her right arm on the back of the chair, looked at him slightly sideways, and shook the two fingers of her right hand: "I'm two years older than you." ”
Zhou Yi laughed, and after the tip of his tongue quickly swept over his lips a few times, he was just about to speak, when a shout from the staff came from behind him, interrupting his spell casting note-
"Hopefully you'll have a good performance tonight, or I'll probably say in the media that you've let me down."
Li Yinxin playfully pouted in the direction of the stage: "Others will be afraid of you and jealous of you, but I won't." ”
"I hope you can understand Chinese."
Zhou Yi, who turned his back to her and paced away, left one last sentence, as well as the middle finger gesture that expressed disdain.
Chinese and Korean singers who eat melons are amazed by the relationship between the two friends.
Because of the previous tracking reports by the South Korean media, the news that the relationship between Zhou Yi and Li Yinxin is okay can be said to be flying all over the press circles in China and South Korea, and many people actually find it hard to believe that these two can become friends before they see it with their own eyes.
After all, a chaebol daughter, a born commoner.
But now it doesn't seem like that's the case, and it's clear that their relationship is not bad.
Returning to the team, Zhou Yi, who began to follow Wu Bixia to start the process, also ignored those curious eyes, and confirmed the performance plan of his two songs, the number of performers, props, etc., to the staff of KBS TV.
For a party of this level, although no one will change the song temporarily before the start, the procedure must still be followed.
"For the song "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs", the band staff finally decided to use our own people in the second rehearsal to avoid miscommunication with Koreans and cause stage accidents."
Qian Jiang, who had completed all the confirmation processes, also came over to report to Zhou Yi, who suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the three figures who were mixed with a group of musicians and dancers waiting to be used as a background board on stage at this moment-
Fly Band.
A band that Warner just signed this year.
Of course, the current they are not the top band that debuted at the peak. In order to brush his face, when he knew that Zhou Yi would sing the old song "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs" at the Sino-Korean Song Conference in addition to the new song "Young China Says", Chen Zeshan directly stuffed these three people over.
In the name of beauty, it will be more convenient for their own people to use, and Koreans know if there will be any problems.
Originally, Zhou Yi hadn't decided which old song to use, and he tried songs that could make the atmosphere such as the rock version of "On the Plum Side" and "Jingwumen".
But in the end, after synthesizing the specific effects of the rehearsal scene, he still chose "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs" to create an atmosphere at the beginning.
The three members of the band are guitar, bass, and drummers on the song, and he himself is the lead singer and part-time guitarist.
To be honest, if it hadn't happened to meet this time, Zhou Yi really wouldn't have noticed that the Fly Band had actually signed into Warner.
After everything was arranged, Zhou Yi, who found his seat in the guest seat according to his name, sat down, and diagonally opposite not far away happened to be Lee Jung-hyun, the popular dance music queen of the Korean side.
The latter apparently noticed him as well, smiling and nodding in acknowledgment.
In the audience, Li Yinxin, who came to see Zhou Yi's performance because of envy and "jealousy", watched the curtain of this year's China-Korea Song Meeting being opened by the four hosts - to be honest, if it weren't for seeing the translation of Zhou Yi's song poke herself, she really wouldn't have come here.
In her opinion, this group of singers is like that, even if it is Li Zhenxian, who is known as "Zhou Yi's old enemy".
Several of Lee Jung-hyun's fire songs, such as "Wow" and "Ali Ali", are too noisy in her opinion. It's okay to listen to it a few times or a dozen times, but if you listen to it more, she will feel unusually noisy and irritable.
I don't know why this kind of electronic dance music has become so popular to this point, which is very puzzled by Li Yinxin.
What makes her even more puzzling is that Sun Yue, a female singer in China, is still learning this style of music - the kind that has not learned the essence.
However, it was not only her who couldn't bear to look at her, but also Zhou Yi.
When Li Zhenxian and Sun Yue, two so-called Chinese and Korean female singers and dancers, joined forces to perform on stage, he almost didn't manage his expression well-
It's not that Sun Yue's performance is very bad, but that she really doesn't match electronic dance music.
How to say it, Zhou Yi is not very interested in her performance in "Wow" sung with Li Zhenxian - it feels like Na Ying twisting her waist and singing "Eyebrow Flying Color Dance" while dancing on KTV?
The young Li Zhenxian is jumping and jumping, lively like a girl;
72-year-old Sun Yue is over 30 years old, and he can only twist his waist on stage at an age, and the twist is still relatively stiff, and he has fallen behind in appearance, and he is a little embarrassed when he laughs.
The only thing that can be praised is the sound pressure, Sun Yue still showed his ability as one of the kings of the mainland volume, and when singing the chorus, he immediately sang after finding that he wanted to cover Li Zhenxian's voice.
It can only be said that there is no salvation.
If Li Zhenxian and Sun Yue sing a song "I Wish You Peace" together, Li Zhenxian will also be ugly.
In Zhou Yi's opinion, Sun Yue is really not suitable for this kind of singing and dancing.
As the so-called goddaughter of former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, this woman actually found that she couldn't compete with Tian Jin and Na Young as early as the end of the last century, so she found another way to start learning the Korean dance music style, and changed her career to sing and dance halfway through the road, preparing to be a singing and dancing singer to overtake in the corner.
As a result, the popularity is still not as good as year after year.
In the end, she found that the comfort zone that suited her was still the same as before.
If it weren't for the title of the China-South Korea friendship ambassador and the goddaughter of the former president of South Korea, it would be difficult to say that Sun Yue would be able to appear on the occasion of the China-South Korea song meeting - Na Ying was pressed to withdraw, and Han Hong retreated to the "second line".
At this time, Sun Yue still has the ambition of making a last-ditch effort.
It's a pity that in the end, the mud can't support the wall-
Na Ying retired from the entertainment industry for many years due to emotional problems, and after returning, she was still able to regain her diva crown with the quality of her songs;
Han Hong directly made herself the undoubted first sister in the mainland in the next two years.
Only Sun Yue hyped himself for a long time, but he didn't catch a single hair - known as the goddaughter of the former president of South Korea, but he couldn't even speak Korean, and finally retired disheartened.
"Haven't you arrived at Zhou Yi yet?"
In the audience, Li Yinxin watched China and South Korea sing one after another, like Han Hong singing "That Sea", Sun Nan singing "Rescue" and singing the theme song of "My Sassy Girlfriend", etc., frowning slightly, turning her head and asking her personal female bodyguard.
"Come on, Miss, he's the finale."
“……。”
As the biggest singer of this party, Zhou Yi's show was nailed to the penultimate and third positions.
Even, after he finished singing, he could stand directly on the stage without leaving, because the final chorus was Chinese and Korean singers singing "Friendship on Earth" together.
It's just that I don't know if the Korean side did it deliberately or accidentally, Zhou Yi's program order was arranged just after Sun Nan.
When Sun Nam sang the theme song "I Believe" with Shin Seung-hoon from South Korea, the host began to introduce Zhou Yi, who appeared next-
"Next, let's welcome the young singer Zhou Yi from China......"
Backstage, Zhan Wenting, who was so nervous that she had begun to take deep breaths, held the bass in her hand tightly, and she picked up the bass tonight when she was originally positioned as the lead singer of the band; Beside her, guitarist Aqin, who is also a member of the Fil band, was also a little shaky.
"Don't be nervous, just relax, just follow the feeling of our rehearsal."
Chen Jianning, the captain and keyboardist of the Feier band, was quite calm, and even had the heart to enlighten his two members. Tonight, he will be in charge of the drum kit on stage.
"......"
The three of them were communicating with each other, and Zhou Yi, who had changed into a long trench coat, had already appeared in front of them-
"Brother Yi."
"Brother Yi ......"
Even if the three of them are older than Zhou Yi, only Chen Jianning, who is ten years older than Zhou Yi, has this qualification not to be called brother.
After all, he was already a senior music producer in the industry before he founded the Fil band.
"Come on."
Zhou Yi, who saw these three people, didn't say anything, just smiled and encouraged: "Just follow the feeling during the rehearsal." ”
"Hmm."
Facing the "amiability" of this true god of the company, Ah Qin and Zhan Wenting glanced at each other, forcibly suppressed the complicated thoughts in their hearts, and nodded heavily.
A minute later, after the host finished the introduction, the lights of the entire Sino-Korean song concert were also dimmed.
In the next second, an alarm like a siren sounded at the scene-
Then came the red "cordon" lights that began to flicker and rotate in the venue!
“???”
In the audience, Li Yinxin, who had reviewed the song "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs" early, was a little stunned between her eyebrows-
What's going on?
Does the original song have this opening?
Deliberately adapted?
"You're crying so tired, you're hurting too deeply, you're loving too stupidly
"You're crying like the end is coming~"
When a bright light hit the center of the stage, the siren immediately stopped, and Zhou Yizheng, who was wearing a long purple and black trench coat, stood alone in the center of the stage, hanging an electric guitar on his body, holding a microphone tripod with one hand, and snapping his fingers with a bit of jazz flavor-
The more soothing piano prelude sounded with the man's whispered monologue singing, and Zhou Yi under the white light seemed to be a gentleman with a bit of naughty and childishness-
“OH~,Yeah~~”
With the end of snapping his fingers, Zhou Yi, who happened to finish singing the first lyrics, continued to snap his fingers with his left hand, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in some kind of slow jazz rhythm and twisted his body gently, like a Gu king, bewitching the fans under the stage to scream!
"Ahhh!!hhh
"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!! Zhou Yi!! ”
“……”
Regarding the screams and cheers that suddenly erupted from the audience, the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth rose in an upward arc, and his left hand with snapping his fingers slowly pointed to the stands facing him, and the direction of that finger happened to be the area where Li Yinxin was sitting-
"So you listen to slow songs, very slow songs, and your heart is like a knife when you listen to them
"Isn't it time to change the rhythm~
“OH~Yeah~~”
Obviously, the title of the song is called "Sad People, Don't Listen to Slow Songs", but the beginning of this solo song with a bit of jazz adaptation is slow to make the eyes of all the audience shine -
Then, the singing stopped, snapping his fingers and paused, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the red siren sounded again, and the constantly flashing alarm lights instantly turned the venue into a "blood red"——
The flickering light ball continued to sweep down Zhou Yi, who was dragging the microphone tripod backwards with one hand, giving people the feeling that he had just broken the law by singing a slow song, and he was going to turn himself in.
Until, he slammed the tripod at his feet!
It's like a signal of the start of a carnival, and the addition of the common undertone instrument erases in rock undertones makes the audience vibrate-
Chen Jianning, who was sitting next to the drum kit, after hooking the wipe, the drum beat violently began to challenge the eardrums of the audience; In an instant, guitars and basses with a strong sense of rhythm and venting joined in, which directly contrasted with the previous slow jazz!
The pop-rock style exploded instantly, and at this moment, it directly conquered the audience's visual and auditory senses with the extremely contrasting performance before and after, and many people who couldn't understand the lyrics were swaying left and right with the passionate guitar drum beat of the song!
"You're crying so tired, you're hurting too deeply, you're loving too stupidly
"You're crying like the end is coming!
“oh~oh!”
is still exactly the same singing section, but at this moment, Zhou Yi's singing voice is extraordinarily rock-textured, and the range of body movements is no longer limited to snapping his fingers, but directly plucked the strings after singing this paragraph, and the electric guitar swept away the haze in the listener's heart-
"Stop asking who's right and who's wrong
"Who's who's who's wrong, and who's indebted!"
Zhou Yi, who was hanging an electric guitar, jumped forward on the spot, raised his hand and pointed to the audience area directly in front of him: "Anyway, if you are wrong, you will lose, anyway, you will be happy with yourself!" ”
And it was precisely this jump that ignited the enthusiasm of the audience after a long absence!
Li Yinxin, who was also shaking her head and shaking her body to follow the rhythm, just looked at the free figure on the stage that seemed to be shining, and she smiled very happily!
This song is exactly her heart, and it is the voice she wants to tell her parents and family-
Don't ask her who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, and don't mention to her who owes whom in this family.
She doesn't want to think about anything now, she doesn't want to do anything, she just wants to empty herself-
Whether it's wrong or lost, anyway, not many people in this world care about whether they are happy or not, whether it is parents or elder sisters, they have all become slaves of interests.
Since there is no one to accompany herself, then she will accompany herself, because happiness is the most important thing!
As the song goes: it's time to live in a different rhythm.
She also wants to change her life.
Looking at the man on the stage who freely swayed the charm of pop rock, Li Yinxin saw for the first time what the true charm of freedom is like - the man named Zhou Yi is wantonly swaying that charming freedom!
