Chapter 129 The most beautiful thing is "Qili Xiang"
7pm.
Everything is ready, Zheng Tao, the chief director of "Song", announced that the second phase of the competition has officially begun.
He Hao walked onto the stage under the lights, raised his emotions, and said enthusiastically: "Welcome all singers, guests, and the 500 judges present to the stage of "Song".
"Tonight is the second competition, which will determine the fate of two singers, or even three singers.
"In addition to the seven starting singers, in a certain preparation room, there was also a mysterious kick-off singer who did not appear.
"We all know that in the last competition, two singers were selected as targets for eviction.
"One is Fang Xing and the other is Chen Lizhu.
"Chen Lizhu has already been kicked out once, so she won't be kicked out for the second time tonight.
"According to the rules of kicking, this mysterious kicking singer can choose the target of kicking again.
"Would he choose the same goal again?
"Viewers, are you very curious?
"I'm also curious, but tonight I won't whet everyone's appetite and directly announce the target chosen by the mysterious singer.
"That's... Fang Xing!
"That's right, it's Fang Xing again, the singer who played in the gym. He chose the same goal in both competitions.
"Let's wait and see whether the kick-off will be successful."
The audience at the scene began to get excited.
"That's what makes the show good."
"Choosing the same goal in both games looks great."
"Who is the singer? Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
The 500 people present at the hearing were all very concerned about the news about "Song" on the Internet when they were at home.
The news posted at the top of Weibo has been on trending searches.
Therefore, many on-site hearings have seen this Weibo.
"I feel like this singer who kicked off the club is going to be in trouble. Fang Xing, this guy, even posted on Weibo asking if he should be more ruthless or ruthless."
"The fun people on Weibo all said they would be ruthless. I have never seen anyone so outrageous."
…
on the stage.
He Hao continued to talk about the scene: "Then, the first singer will appear on the stage tonight. Who is he?"
At this point, he paused, glanced at the audience, and interacted with the audience: "In the last competition, the first singer to appear was Fang Xing. Audience friends, I think he will be the first to appear tonight.
?"
"Let him go!"
The audience in the audience shouted loudly.
He Hao did not continue to talk about it and said directly: "That's right, the first singer to compete is Fang Xing, just like last time.
"Actually, Fang Xing was originally ranked seventh, but in the end it was changed to Chen Lizhu.
"I understand you. By the time the last singer finishes singing, you must have forgotten what the first singer sang."
The audience in the audience retorted loudly: "No!"
"Really not?"
He Hao smiled and continued the interaction: "Then let's see if he can leave an indelible impression in the hearts of the audience and invite the first competing singer."
Fang Xing walked out from behind the stage against the backlight, came to the center of the stage, and stood next to He Hao.
He Hao started to ask: "You are the first one to appear again. How do you feel?"
Fang Xing shrugged and replied, "It's just fine."
He Hao continued to ask: "We just announced the goal of choosing the singer to kick off the hall. Do you already know it?"
Fang Xing nodded: "I know, you chose me again."
"What do you want to say about the choice of this singer?"
"There's nothing to say, just sigh. Hey..."
The audience at the scene suddenly became noisy.
"This is a bit too much. What does this sigh mean?"
"Is this a sigh for the singer who kicked him out? Don't be kicked out later, this sigh is amazing."
"I don't know why, I really want to see him kicked out, but I also want to vote for him."
Amidst the discussion of the audience in the audience.
He Hao then asked: "I heard that you did not come alone tonight, but brought many people with you."
Fang Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, I invited the symphony orchestra from my alma mater to help with the accompaniment. The leader is Professor Li Xiuqin from our Donghai Conservatory of Music."
The camera panned over Li Xiuqin and the First Symphony Orchestra of Donghai Conservatory of Music.
He Hao also greeted: "Welcome Professor Li."
Immediately afterwards, he asked: "What song are you going to sing for such a big battle tonight? You should remember that tonight is a theme competition, right? The theme is 'The Taste of First Love'."
"Remember, I sang the flavor of first love into every note of the song." Fang Xing answered fluently as if reading a script.
"Whose smell does this belong to?" He Hao asked curiously.
"Does this show need such explosive news?" Fang Xing joked.
"Ha! I'm just asking, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Let's continue talking about the song. If you had to use one word to describe this song, what word would you use?" He Hao laughed and continued to ask.
"beautiful."
Fang Xing's answer was concise and to the point.
"The more I talk about it, the more I look forward to it. Then tell the audience, what is the name of this song?" He Hao asked the last question.
"The title of the song is "Qili Xiang"." Fang Xing slowly read out the name of the song.
"Let us hand over the stage to Fang Xing." After He Hao said the last sentence, he turned and walked off the stage.
"Qili Xiang" was written by Fang Wenshan, composed and sung by Jay Chou, and arranged by Zhong Xingmin. It is included in Jay Chou's album of the same name "Qili Xiang".
This song won 3 awards for Best Composer, Producer, and Arranger in Hong Kong TVB's Top Ten Golden Songs.
It also won many awards including the 27th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards and the 11th Global Chinese Music Chart for Best Song of the Year.
There is a saying in the music world: The sweetest thing is a garden party, and the most beautiful thing is Qilixiang.
The lyrics and music of "Qili Xiang" are both beautiful and describe everything that loving someone should look like.
Moreover, the arranger of this song is Zhong Xingmin, who is known as one of the three giants of arrangers.
In terms of arrangement, Zhong Xingmin used string music.
The string section in the song uses violin, viola, cello, and double bass, with a strong lineup.
…
on the stage.
The lights rotated, and more than a dozen spotlights focused on Fang Xing.
Fang Xing turned around and gave a thumbs up in the direction of the orchestra, indicating that he was ready.
Professor Li Xiuqin picked up the baton and looked at the musicians of the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra.
Everyone is ready.
Lu Xiang'er stood in the first violin section, took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.
She was a little nervous because it was her first time to perform on such a big stage.
She looked up at the person under the spotlight, feeling very happy.
When I saw him on TV before, I wondered if one day I would be able to stand on the same stage as him.
Especially in "Chi Ling", she was particularly envious of Li Caiwei.
However, she studied violin and her singing was only at KTV level. She could not stand on stage and sing a chorus like Li Caiwei.
She originally thought she wouldn't have such an opportunity, but she didn't expect that this time she actually came to "Singing" to accompany him.
She really wanted to do well, but the more she wanted to do well, the more nervous she became.
She took a deep breath and said to herself: "I have practiced it many times. The melody is engraved in my mind, on my fingers, and in my muscles. I can perform well."
After all the musicians are ready.
Professor Li Xiuqin gestured in the direction of the director.
The guide plays the accompaniment.
The sound of wind suddenly echoed in the studio hall.
It was as if a breeze was blowing, blowing up waves of notes.
This rumor is the beginning of "Qili Xiang".
It is a sample of the wind sound in an open place in the suburbs, and made into an accompaniment background.
When the wind blew, Professor Li Xiuqin waved his baton downwards.
The sound of the vibrator sounded, and the tinkling sound of the vibrator was bright and clear, blending with the sound of the wind, which immediately gave people the feeling of a breeze blowing on their face.
Then, standard instruments such as guitar and drums were added.
The prelude immediately stirred up the enthusiasm and joy of summer.
And the refreshing coolness brought by the summer breeze is just right.
Just listen to the intro.
The other six starting singers in the viewing room all raised their eyebrows.
This prelude is simply too beautiful to be true.
The intro of this song is not like "Nocturne", where the melody starts at the beginning and shows the killer intro.
The prelude of "Qili Xiang" progresses step by step, first the sound of wind, then the vibrator, and finally the guitar, drums and other musical instruments are added.
Just the prelude, the performance has a sense of layering.
Progressing bar by bar, the emotion of the melody is interpreted to the extreme.
In the singer's rest room at the Kick Hall.
As soon as Shen Xiyin heard the prelude, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and almost blurted out: Another prelude to kill!
However, she did not say anything, but secretly glanced at Li Siqi next to her.
She murmured in her heart: This intro sounds quite ruthless. I wonder what will happen when it comes to the main song. If the whole song is as good as the intro, Li Siqi will be dead.
The audience at the scene was also brought back to the summer in their memories by the prelude.
The whole audience listened quietly, waiting for the main song.
Fang Xing picked up the microphone and sang with a summery voice:
"The sparrows outside the window are talkative on the telephone poles.
"When you say this, it feels like summer.
"The pencil in my hand goes back and forth on the paper.
"I can use a few lines to describe who you are to me..."
As soon as the main song comes out, the audience is immediately drawn into a fresh and sweet story.
It's not pain, it's not sadness, it's just that summer, that sweet and ignorant relationship.
Sparrow, pencil, cat, saury, strawberry...
Various scenery come together in the song, telling a summer story so vividly.
Those beautiful memories are like strawberries, too good to bear to eat.
Immediately afterwards, the melody of the chorus rose.
Fang Xing continued to sing with a gentle melody filled with memories and emotions:
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain.
"Butterflies on the window sill are like beautiful chapters flying in a poem.
"I continued to write and put "I will love you forever" at the end of the poem.
"You are the only one I want to know..."
The chorus uses a gentle melody to express emotions. After listening to it, people feel a little bit of strong emotion, staying in that sweet summer.
The melody of this song is not as passionate as the previous songs, but the summer described in the song is so beautiful that it can only be stored in memories.
After listening to the chorus.
Shen Xiyin sighed inaudibly.
Even though it’s just the first chorus, I can already tell what level this song is.
At this level, if the singers behind don’t use their best skills, they will most likely take first place again.
As for Li Siqi next to him, he has little hope.
In the viewing room of the first singer.
The six starting singers all had different expressions.
Some starting singers want to compete for the first place, and some singers want to keep their starting position, as long as they are not eliminated.
The singers who just want to keep their starting position are in a good mood. After hearing the chorus for the first time, they basically don't think about competing with "Qili Xiang".
As for singers who want to compete for first place, their expressions are even more complicated.
The style of this song "Qili Xiang" is completely different from "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", but it depicts the taste of first love so beautifully.
This makes it extremely difficult for the singers behind to sing "The Taste of First Love" again.
With Zhuyu in front, no matter how she sings, she looks like fish eyes.
Someone in the audience began to mutter to themselves: "Sure enough, it's not a little cruel, but a hundred million cruel!"
However, the chorus is not the most exciting part of the song.
The chorus ends and enters the interlude.
The melody suddenly changes from E-flat major to C minor through off-key techniques.
The melody becomes softer.
The sound of wind and vibrato are intertwined, just like the breeze blowing through the clear spring.
The tinkling sound of falling water droplets echoed in the melody.
The sound of wind and water droplets convey a different flavor, with a hint of melancholy and sadness, just like the sweetness of first love, but there is always a little bit of confusion.
Immediately afterwards, the magnificent string music sounded, instantly lifting the melody, making the audience's eyes widen in shock.
The First Symphony Orchestra of Dongyin played indulgently and used short interludes to show off their musical talents.
Lu Xiang'er half-closed her eyes and played along with the melody, as if she was drifting in a river of notes.
This river is filled with notes of golden light and is magnificent.
This section is very shocking.
It raised the level of this song from very strong to ridiculously strong.
After listening to the chorus for the first time, Shen Xiyin felt that this song was strong enough and had the strength to compete for the first place tonight.
However, when this interlude came out, the performance of the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra swept the audience, making her eyes widen.
She sighed in her heart: Not only is Li Siqi gone, but the other first-time singers are also gone.
She couldn't help but steal another glance at Li Siqi next to her.
It would be fine if Li Siqi was a member of a boy band with a bronze butterfly swimming level, but he might not be able to hear how strong this song is.
However, Li Siqi has a little bit of strength in vocal music.
It doesn’t matter how good you sing, at least you have the ability to tell the quality of a song.
therefore.
When Shen Xiyin peeked at him, his expression was so ugly.
…
The music continues to play.
At the end of the interlude, intensive drum beats sounded.
The arrangement changes from the key of C minor back to the key of E flat major.
Fang Xing raised the microphone and sang the chorus for the second time:
"The plump ears of rice make this season happy.
"And your cheeks are like ripe tomatoes from the field.
"You suddenly said to me, Qilixiang's name is very beautiful.
"At this moment, I just want to kiss your stubborn mouth..."
The lyrics of the chorus continue to enrich the story and emotions.
Rain, fallen leaves, ears of rice, tomatoes, seven spices... and finally the stubborn mouth.
Fang Xing used all his emotions to perform this chorus, and many memories came to mind, including a sweet and regretful relationship in his previous life, and a girl playing the violin standing in the dark.
The regrets of the past and the sweetness of the present blend together.
These are all memories and belong to me.
At the end of the song, Fang Xing's singing revealed a kind of hope. When he sang, "I just want to kiss your stubborn mouth right now," the past and present merged together, converging into the appearance of a girl, who looked like her, but also
Not like her.
It's just that this kind of emotion can only be expressed in singing.
In reality, no matter how courageous you are, you can't say it out loud.
Fang Xing took a deep breath, raised the melody again, and sang the last chorus:
"Butterflies on the window sill are like beautiful chapters flying in a poem.
"I continued to write and put "I will love you forever" at the end of the poem.
"You are the only one I want to know."
Sing the entire song in one go.
It seemed like a gentle song, but Fang Xing tried his best to vent the emotions in his heart, and suddenly he felt much more relaxed.
In the ears of the audience, this song is gentle, but the more you can understand the emotion in the song, the more intense the emotion in the song will be felt.
At first glance, this version sung by Fang Xing seems to be about the beauty of first love.
But the singing is full of more emotions, which seem to be very simple emotions, but difficult to feel thoroughly.
After the last note fell, a long time passed before thunderous applause broke out.
Fang Xing stood on the stage, took a few deep breaths, then turned towards the First Dongyin Symphony Orchestra, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed in thanks.
Li Xiuqin returned the favor with the orchestra.
The applause of the audience never stopped.
Some viewers have even begun to shed tears. The more experienced the audience is, the more they can feel the emotion in the song and the easier it is to be infected.
at the same time.
The singer in the kickhouse is taking a break.
The editor said aloud: "Li Siqi, you still have ten seconds to decide whether to kick out. Because this is the second competition, if you choose to give up, you will no longer have another chance."
Li Siqi's expression was very solemn.
When he came, he was still very confident, but after listening to Fang Xing's song, his whole body felt bad.
In terms of emotion, this song is more intense than any other song in the first show.
However, he no longer had a choice.
If I had listened to my agent before and changed my goal of playing in the gym, the situation would not be as bad as it is now.
However, the matter has come to this, and there is no choice.
Either give up and act as if you have never been on this show, or you can just bite the bullet and get on with it.
He gritted his teeth, reached out and pressed the kick button.
