Chapter 977 The more games the better the performance (two chapters in one)
"Ouyang, have you ever imagined that you could reach the current finals?"
On vcr, the host of the talk show asked about Ouyang Xiaoqing.
"Yes, I have imagined and even fantasized about winning the championship (laughing) and being very glorious. But I never thought it could really come true, and I never thought I could be so close to the championship. So now
Sometimes I still wonder if everything I am experiencing is a dream."
Ouyang Xiaoqing said neither humble nor arrogant.
She usually gives the impression to Americans that she is relatively reserved, and her personality is not that outgoing or flamboyant - which is also in line with their stereotype of Chinese people.
However, Ouyang Xiaoqing is not completely shy, and she doesn't even like to be modest. She prefers to speak out frankly about what she thinks.
If you want to win the championship, you just want to win the championship. What's there to be so coquettish about?
"I heard that the song you prepared is about heroes?"
"Yes!"
"Do heroes mean anything special to you?"
"What I need to say is that the heroes here are not the omnipotent heroes in Hollywood movies. As my music teacher Yang Qian said, the Chinese are not without faith. They have their own unique culture.
The concept of faith. There is an old saying in China, 'Do your best and listen to destiny' - we have done everything we can, tried our best, and left the rest to god. So the hero I want to sing is not
A certain person is not a god, but a certain force, or belief, that originates from our hearts. It is the hero that can truly make us strong and unbeatable!"
After Ouyang Xiaoqing finished speaking, vcr was over.
The camera returned to the scene. On the dimly lit stage, there was only a faint beam of light coming from top to bottom. This kind of light could not clearly see the faces of people. It could only slightly illuminate the outline of Ouyang Xiaoqing on the stage.
The glimmer of light seemed to make her bare skin and curly hair shine brightly, and was diffused with a faint purple color.
Yes, Ouyang Xiaoqing got a perm today.
This is of course a deliberate stage look. The curly hair looks more mature. Of course, it must be matched with an evening dress that exposes the shoulders and even the collarbone.
No, just when the music in the background sounded and Ouyang Xiaoqing hummed with a gentle nasal voice to add color to the melody, other lights gradually lit up on the stage. The audience and judges all expressed their gratitude for the appearance of today.
Ouyang Xiaoqing, an elegant and graceful girl, marveled in admiration.
The contrast is so great!
In the past, Ouyang Xiaoqing was thin and short, coupled with the unique petiteness of Chinese girls. In the eyes of American fans, she was just a little girl who had not yet grown up.
Although today's Ouyang Xiaoqing did not grow taller or stronger overnight, she wore special high heels, had her hair permed, and was "transformed" into an evening dress. The makeup team of the show also gave her beautiful makeup.
, although it is not a bright red lipstick, it is still relatively thick.
All of a sudden, her appearance and temperament have greatly improved. Even judging from her confident expression when she is standing on the stage, the audience can't help but wonder if she is possessed by a certain diva singer!
How did she become so mature and beautiful all of a sudden?
Of course, whether today's game is good or not is secondary. What can make Ouyang Xiaoqing win the admiration of the audience as soon as she comes on is her singing voice!
"there's a hero,
ifyoulookinsideyourheart.
youdooafraid,
ofwhatyouare......"(Note 1)
(Translation: If you search your heart, you will find a hero. You don’t have to worry about what kind of person you are.)
Many viewers may not be able to appreciate the meaning of the lyrics, but looking at Ouyang Xiaoqing standing on the stage in an old-fashioned way holding a microphone stand and singing, and listening to her heavenly voice, it's hard not to be intoxicated.
In the charming night!
The American audience is not illiterate; most of them have a shallow understanding of music.
It can be said that as soon as Ouyang Xiaoqing opened her mouth, many people recognized the flavor of "r&b" rhythm and blues.
This kind of song is as retro as Ouyang Xiaoqing's performance, but its freedom and spontaneity are almost engraved in the genes of American audiences! Therefore, as long as it is good to listen to, its audience will be all over the United States, and it will be overwhelmingly popular.
Most people accept and love it!
"Her singing voice is simply the most charming treasure in the world!"
When Jimmy Cagan was by Yang Qian's side, he couldn't help but admire him.
Yes, even though he had listened to Ouyang Xiaoqing practice this song "Hero" countless times a few days ago, now listening to Ouyang Xiaoqing's singing on the stage, he was still amazed again.
"I performed a bit beyond my level today."
Yang Qian actually nodded in affirmation.
Of course, Ouyang Xiaoqing's voice has always been very good. Yang Qian said that her extraordinary performance was not based on her voice, but her emotional expression of the song, which gave Yang Qian the color changes in the timbre of her voice.
Progress has come.
It can be said that Ouyang Xiaoqing may have almost invincible musical talent, but her control of songs is far from the level of diva singers, especially those top female singers in Europe and the United States.
, there are even changes that others improvise, which Ouyang Xiaoqing needs to learn and accumulate over several years or even more than ten years!
But today, this girl seemed to explode under pressure!
In the opening section, she not only sang steadily and well, but the bright and soft emotional power contained in her singing voice could accurately stir the hearts of the audience!
It’s as if the person standing on the stage right now is a diva singer!
So beautiful!
"there's answer,
ifyoureatoyoursoul,
ahatyouknow,
willmeltaway…”
(Translation: If you search your soul, you will find an answer, and all your sorrow will disappear...)
The beauty of the lyrics was gradually felt by the audience, especially after Ouyang Xiaoqing's increasingly gentle voice and eyes were conveyed in the photographer's lens while singing!
Just like in a love story, there is a beautiful and considerate girl patiently encouraging the injured boy. That warm power inexplicably stirred up the hearts of many viewers!
It seems that there is no setback, no sorrow, no scar that cannot be healed! As long as she has her soft eyes and soft smile...
"I swear to God, her smile will charm countless American young men to death!"
Jimmy Cagan patted Yang Qian's shoulder hard and sighed.
It can be felt that if Jimmy Cagan was not an uncle in his fifties, he might not be able to help but chase Ouyang Xiaoqing, just because of this gentle smile of bowing his head.
wrong!
It’s hard to say!
Americans are relatively open when it comes to emotions. Why is there an age gap of more than thirty years? Is this a gap that can hinder love?
Gender can't stop you, so what does age mean?
Yang Qian could only shake his head with a wry smile.
When did this girl learn this trick?
It was even performed!
Jimmy Cagan doesn't know Ouyang Xiaoqing, but as her master and a good friend she has known for so many years, Yang Qian doesn't understand Ouyang Xiaoqing's character?
Although she is not unruly or shy, she is definitely not the tender type!
It can only be said that after taking the stage, she suddenly became enlightened and grasped the password of traffic...
However, this is not something Yang Qian can control.
As a master, he has done a good job by introducing his apprentice and paving the way for her. He cannot take care of everything. He must even constrain the apprentice's future style and line. He must ask her to sing as seriously as he does.
?
“...sowhenyoufeellikehopegone,
lookinsideyouarong,
andyou'llfih,
thataheroliesyou…”
(Translation:...So when you feel that all hope is lost, look for the answer within yourself, and then you will become stronger, and finally you will discover the fact that there is something hidden in your heart.
A hero!)
Interrupted by Jimmy Cagan, Yang Qian almost missed a wonderful performance by his apprentice on the stage.
That's when she sang "lookinsideyouarong", she actually turned her head and pulled the microphone.
Yes!
Not only did she hit the high note of the word "inside", but she also sang it so smoothly that it didn't affect the audience's hearing at all. It was so smooth that it was amazing!
Yang Qian was also surprised by Ouyang Xiaoqing's stage performance.
You must know that Lamech's action was not in their previous design.
In other words, Ouyang Xiaoqing just improvised on the spot!
Improvisation is very good, because what she sings is "r&b", what she plays is variation, and what she plays is improvisation.
But in Yang Qian's view, behind Ouyang Xiaoqing's improvisation is her completely relaxed performance state!
Because if you are too tight, not only will you not be able to perform anything innovative, but you will also forget the actions you prepared in advance, and even make relatively low-level mistakes.
Only when she sings truly relaxed and comfortable will she be able to present new things and at the same time produce a tone that even Yang Qian is full of praise for.
...
"The hero is in my own heart!"
Perhaps, many American audiences will be intoxicated by Ouyang Xiaoqing's singing at first, and will be amazed by the brightness and warmth of her tone. But as the lyrics gradually reveal themselves, the appeal of this song to them begins to go beyond the scope of music.
.
A boy who was often bullied at school suddenly touched his chest. He only cried when he was bullied. He only knew that he locked himself in the room and licked his wounds. He only knew that he complained about the darkness of the world. But this time
Then he felt his heart beating violently.
It's so vibrant and full of energy!
And you are so outstanding and full of possibilities!
Yes, the hero is in your heart, you are your own hero!
You shouldn't be afraid, you can become stronger, you can become braver, let them look at you and recognize you!
A girl who suffered many setbacks on the road of art and was already bruised and bruised also found strength.
You are not that bad, even without the encouragement of your family, even if you fail over and over again, even if everyone says you are a loser.
But aren’t you persisting? Aren’t you braver than many young people who escape reality and indulge themselves?
You should be outstanding, but you haven't discovered that you can return like a hero. You are your own hero!
There was also a single mother who was cleaning the table in the restaurant. Her tired and numb face was warmed by the radiance in her eyes looking at the small TV.
You have been sad, you have been confused, you have been afraid, you have been desperate!
But now you are your hero, and you are your baby's hero!
Even if you are the only one facing this cruel world, you should believe in your inner strength and your own infinite possibilities!
One day, I will make enough money to buy my own car, set up a stall selling ice cream, run my own business, and support myself and my children!
My child, your mother is a hero, a hero who cannot be defeated!
In fact, for many American audiences, including little boys, young girls, and single mothers, their first favorite contestant was actually pole dancing Catherine.
Catherine is not an inspirational example. Although she is a pole dancer, she is not born in the world of mortals. On the contrary, Catherine is a dancer with a professional background and has appeared on many stages.
Later, she encountered pole dancing. Not only did she love it, she was also willing to use professional choreography and stage performance to transform it, transforming it from a dancing role into a real stage art, and even a stage performance.
The art of auditioning!
But Catherine is an American and a mother. She seems to exude a special aura that makes people move and admire her.
Until tonight, Ouyang Xiaoqing sang "hero"!
The sentence "sowhenyoufeellikehopegone,lookinsideyouarong,andyou'llfih,thataheroliesyou" resonated with many viewers!
When you feel that all your hopes are shattered, you should not give up. You should look into your heart and make yourself stronger. In the end, you will find that you are your own hero.
It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. Your strength does not need to be set off by others!
(Note 1: "Hero" is a song released by Mariah Carey in 1993. The songwriters are Mariah Carey and Walter Vanessa - he is Mariah Carey's record producer
There was an episode in the birth of this song. At that time, there was a movie "Hero" (translated as: Little People, Big Hero) that asked Mariah Carey to sing the theme song of the movie. Because the schedule was not suitable, the film company asked Huatea to sing the theme song.
·Vencer came to write the song and then invited another female singer to sing it. At that time, Waterea Vanserv and Mariah Carey mentioned this matter, and Mariah Carey had the inspiration to create the song.
, the two collaborated to write this song in less than two hours, but Mariah Carey also felt that this song was written for someone else, so she did not consider her own preferences. It happened to be written by Mariah Carey at that time
Her husband, Tommy Mottola, the president of Sony Music at the time heard it and insisted that Mariah Carey sing it herself. Later, Mariah Carey sang this song and created a classic! Of course,
Tommy Mottola is not a good person. He spied on Mariah Carey and brought a lot of mental pressure to Mariah Carey. Fortunately, he later divorced.)
