Chapter 147 The lore of 'Blue and White Porcelain'!
Chapter 147 The ultimate kill of "Blue and White Porcelain"!
An ancient song, Liu Hongsheng sang it gracefully and gracefully.
Although this is not his singing style before, the foundation of his singing skills is there, and he can still perfectly control the cover of an ancient song.
After singing, the audience responded with thunderous applause.
The applause was warmer than that given to Li Caiwei.
Especially the older audiences still have a lot of affection for Liu Hongsheng.
After Liu Hongsheng finished singing, He Hao had a post-competition interaction:
"Thank you Liu Tianwang for bringing us such a beautiful ancient song. The tenderness that falls with your fingers is the tenderness that makes you look back and smile. This sentence gave me goosebumps.
"This season of "Singing" has been recorded for four episodes, and tonight is the fifth episode.
"In the previous four periods, your results were very good and you were ranked second. Do you have a chance to break the curse of second place tonight?"
Liu Hongsheng smiled and replied: "I am very confident tonight."
He Hao continued to ask: "So, Liu Tianwang thinks he can defeat Fang Xing tonight, right?"
Liu Hongsheng thought about it and said, "Fang Xing hasn't sung it yet, so it's hard to say. But I'm still confident about the last song related to him."
Judging from the reaction of the audience, his applause after singing was indeed much louder than Li Caiwei's.
Therefore, he still has confidence in this.
Moreover, he had finished listening to "Life is Like a Summer Flower" sung by Li Caiwei. Although it was also very good, the live effect was not as good as his "Indus Night Rain".
He Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Caiwei, did you hear that? King Liu Tian attaches great importance to you."
"Fair competition, fair competition." Liu Hongsheng added.
"Okay, now it's the last singer's turn. Let's ask Liu Tianwang to go down and rest first."
He Hao began to introduce the last singer:
"I think even if I don't introduce it, the audience will know who the last singer is.
"Among the starting singers, there is only one left who has not yet appeared.
"Then this singer is the one mentioned just now, the singer who produced "Life is Like a Summer Flower" for Singer No. 5.
"Speaking of this singer, it's a bit scary. In all the seasons of "The Voice", there is only one four-time winner.
"So, who is this singer?
"Let's invite him on!"
The audience already knew who the last singer was.
Therefore, when Fang Xing stepped onto the stage under the backlight, a chorus of shouts erupted from the venue.
"Fang Xing! Fang Xing! Fang Xing..."
Familiar feeling.
It was the same cheers last time.
The luck blessed by the Four Crowns has built up extremely high expectations in the hearts of the audience.
This expectation is a double-edged sword.
The audience's expectations are high. If you sing well and meet the audience's expectations, the feedback from the audience will be very enthusiastic.
However, once the effect of the competition fails to meet the audience's expectations, the expectations will be broken, causing the audience's reaction to fall to the bottom.
The audience was so enthusiastic.
He Hao had to make a quiet gesture and said: "Friends from the audience, the last singer has already felt your enthusiasm.
"Next, it's time for the interactive session before the competition. Let's ask Fang Xing a few questions, okay?"
The audience at the scene finally slowly became quiet.
He Hao glanced at the card and asked: "The audience has high expectations for you, are you a little nervous this time?"
"It's okay." Fang Xing replied in a normal tone.
"Are you really not nervous at all? You have to know that as the first four-time winner on the "Singing" stage, the audience's expectations for you are not generally high. As long as you sing just a little bit, the audience may have high expectations for you. I'm not satisfied with my performance." He Hao continued to lighten the mood.
"It might be normal in the future, but not tonight." Fang Xing replied with a smile.
"Are you so confident? You have to know that the theme of tonight's competition is recognized as difficult." He Hao continued to delve deeper into this question.
"Tonight's song, really, I think it's too much." Fang Xing said.
"Really? Is it a song that conforms to the five-note rhythm of 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu'?" He Hao asked.
"certainly."
"You are the last singer to appear. Most of the singers before you sang ancient songs. So, are the songs you are going to sing tonight also ancient songs?" He Hao continued to ask.
"I like to compete with other singers in the same genre, that's what makes it interesting." Fang Xing replied with a smile.
"So, the last song tonight will be an ancient song that conforms to the five-note rhythm of 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu'. Audience friends, are you looking forward to it?" He Hao asked loudly.
The audience's expectations were aroused, and they responded loudly: "Look forward to it!"
The audience at the scene was indeed very enthusiastic, but He Hao raised the audience's expectations too high. Once the audience's expectations were not met, the results would be disastrous.
The singers watching the game in the rest area felt the tense atmosphere.
Since the singers who have finished singing rest in the lobby of the rest area, there is no need to separate.
Therefore, the three female singers naturally sat together and started chatting.
"Teacher He raised the audience's expectations too high. If I were me, I would be so nervous that I couldn't even express my voice." Shen Xiyin patted her chest, imagining herself standing on the stage now, feeling terrible.
Li Caiwei also nodded and said: "Yes, the audience's expectations are too high, which is not necessarily a good thing. I'm really worried about him."
Xu Xinzhen joined the topic and said: "Caiwei, aren't you in the same company as Fang Xing? What song did he prepare? You should know. Even the song you sang was prepared by him."
Li Caiwei shook her head and replied: "I really don't know. I feel like I don't have enough time to practice singing these days. Besides, I can't help with Fang Xing's singing, so I don't know very well."
Shen Xiyin joked: "Impossible, Sister Caiwei must know some inside information, please tell me."
In fact, Li Caiwei doesn't know everything.
She heard from Qiao Yinghong that this time Fang Xing wanted to take the first place again, so he prepared a very strong song.
However, it was impossible for her to tell the singers at the scene: Fang Xing's song was very strong and he wanted to take first place.
After saying this, no matter whether Fang Xing won the first place or not, she was doing him a disservice.
Therefore, she still shook her head and said: "I just heard that it is an ancient song, but I have never heard the song, and it is the first time I heard it tonight. Speaking of which, I am also looking forward to it."
…
on the stage.
He Hao asked the last question: "Having said that, the audience at the scene can't wait anymore, so we won't continue to grind. Tell the audience loudly, what is the song you are going to sing tonight?"
Fang Xing paused for two seconds before slowly saying: "The song "Blue and White Porcelain"."
The proportion of songs that conform to the five-note rhythm of "Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu" is actually very small in pop songs, but a few of them are terrible.
Bao Boli's endorsement was snatched away, and it was Liu Hongsheng who came second in "Song" and then turned around and cut the price the next day to grab the endorsement.
Even if Fang Xing has a good temper, he still remembers this way of doing things.
"Singing" is the most professional music variety show in China, so Fang Xing did not play tricks and went straight to the nuclear bomb level.
"Blue and White Porcelain" was written by Fang Wenshan, arranged by Zhong Xingmin, and composed and sung by Jay Chou. It is included in Jay Chou's album "I'm Very Busy".
The song swept through all the major award ceremonies that year, winning three of the most valuable awards: Best Song of the Year, Best Lyrics of the Year, and Best Composer of the Year.
Lyrics by Fang Wenshan, music by Jay Chou, and arrangement by Zhong Xingmin.
Everyone is a leader in the industry and created this Chinese-style song with great care.
It can be said that "Blue and White Porcelain" is the ceiling of Chinese-style songs on the earth.
The charm of the lyrics and music is worthy of careful consideration and taste.
After Fang Xing said the name of the song.
The lights at the scene dimmed.
Every time this lighting effect appears, the audience knows that the competition is about to begin, so they immediately calm down, hold their breath, and listen carefully.
Fang Xing took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then turned to look in the direction of the band, signaling that it was time to start.
A sound of guzheng was heard, and the prelude sounded.
The fresh and melodious tune immediately drew the audience into the beautiful ancient melody.
As soon as the prelude started, the audience at the scene suddenly had the same feeling: another prelude to kill!
The songs that Fang Xing sang before include many songs with this kind of lethality.
Together with the prelude, the music is enough to make people intoxicated.
It instantly draws the audience into the beautiful and graceful artistic conception, which can be called a model of ancient charm.
As soon as the prelude started, the audience couldn't help but applaud, but after just two claps, they quickly stopped.
In the melody, in addition to the guzheng, there are also flutes, violins, cellos, jazz drums, and guitars, which fully interpret the classical beauty of elegance.
Fang Xing's mood followed the rhythm of the piano, and he slowly picked up the microphone and sang:
"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brush strokes, which are thick and light.
“The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup
"The sandalwood slowly shines through the window and I understand my thoughts
"The pen is half-written on the rice paper..."
There were only four sentences, and the audience couldn't help but take a deep breath and concentrate on listening carefully, for fear of missing any sentence.
Some viewers could not help but shake their heads and exclaim in their hearts: Absolutely amazing!
Not only the audience at the scene, but also the singers who gathered in the rest area to watch the performance after singing, were even more shocked.
The more professional a singer is, the more clearly he can hear the power of this melody.
When Liu Hongsheng heard the prelude of this song, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Then, when the four main lines were sung, his expression continued to drop, as if the surrounding temperature had also dropped.
Just from the intro, he knew that the song was ridiculously strong.
After listening to the four lines of the main song, he discovered that the lyrics of the song were as terrible as the music.
Not only that, the arrangement also sets off the ancient charm of the entire first half of the song.
Therefore, Fang Xing only sang four lines, and Liu Hongsheng had a bad premonition in his heart.
Unless Fang Xing overturns, this song will maintain its current quality and it will be another invincible song.
This time, Liu Hongsheng had given up on Puxiang and went to another record company that was good at producing ancient songs to re-arrange the song "Wutong Night Rain".
When the song was first finished, he was very happy after listening to the mixed demo.
Because this song is of high quality.
Both lyrics and music are capable of competing for titles, and he is confident that his singing skills will be fine.
As long as nothing happens, he will compete for first place tonight.
When he competed, the reaction of the audience also proved his opinion.
The song "Wutong Night Rain" is very strong.
However, when he heard "Blue and White Porcelain", he knew something was wrong.
However, now there is no other way except praying.
…
on the stage.
Fang Xing used a voice full of ancient charm to interpret the artistic conception of the song and sang the most classic refrain:
"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain and I'm waiting for you
"Smoke curls up thousands of miles across the river
"The Han Dynasty writings on the bottom of the bottle imitate the elegance of the previous dynasties.
"Just think of me as foreshadowing my meeting with you..."
The main song was already amazing, but as soon as the chorus came out, the audience seemed to be lifted up by the song, and their hearts were taken away by the song.
Audiences who could understand the relationship between "The sky is blue and the misty rain" and its relationship with blue and white porcelain praised this poem for its well-written lyrics.
In ancient times, the best color of Ru kiln porcelain was azure.
Only the most perfect azure color can interpret the perfection of porcelain.
However, it is very difficult to produce a beautiful azure color.
Because that cannot be accomplished by manpower alone. It depends on whether God will reward you or not.
The most beautiful azure color needs to be fired under a specific humidity.
However, in ancient times, the process of firing porcelain could not accurately control the humidity of the air.
Therefore, if you want to bake azure, you can only wait for a misty and rainy day.
Moreover, even if it is a rainy day, the humidity may not be suitable.
This means that if you want to bake a perfect azure color, you can only try your luck on a rainy day, and the probability of success is very small.
Therefore, every piece of azure porcelain passed down is a priceless treasure.
The efforts of countless porcelain craftsmen have been put into it, and you may not be able to see a blue misty and rainy day in several years or decades.
It wasn't just the audience who was immersed in the singing.
The three female singers gathered together in the rest area, their faces full of admiration.
Shen Xiyin couldn't help but shook her head and praised: "Why does it feel like Fang Xing is getting more and more scary? Tonight's song, I'm afraid there is no ancient song in the music world that I dare say is better than this song "Blue and White Porcelain"."
Li Caiwei was also filled with admiration in her heart.
Among the singers at the scene, she was the most familiar with Fang Xing.
She also knew Fang Xing best. Even so, she was also shocked when she heard "Blue and White Porcelain".
When we were discussing song selection before.
She was also worried that her request to sing "Life is Like a Summer Flower" would affect Fang Xing's song selection.
At that time, Fang Xing said that he had prepared a song called Wang Zhao.
Li Caiwei thought at the time that this might be another song she chose after "Life is Like a Summer Flower" was given to her.
Now, after hearing "Blue and White Porcelain", she knew that what Fang Xing said at that time was true and was not meant to comfort her.
Once this song is sung, there is no reason not to take first place, and Liu Hongsheng cannot stop it.
Moreover, she became more and more amazed by the resonance of Fang Xing's singing voice.
When she was in "Rising Star", she collaborated with Fang Xing in "Red Ling". Fang Xing was also very strong at that time, but at that time, she was still confident that she would not fall behind when singing with Fang Xing on stage.
However, now she no longer has this confidence.
Fang Xing's chest resonance when singing the chorus and the use of mixed vocals made the whole song extremely beautiful.
Even Xu Xinzhen on the side had a strange expression, sometimes staring and sometimes frowning.
She became famous for her ancient style songs and was called an ancient style goddess by netizens.
She has sung many popular ancient songs, but none of them can compare with this song "Blue and White Porcelain".
That's how scary it is.
As a first-line female singer in China who became famous for her ancient-style songs, she was actually impressed by other people's ancient-style songs.
She was really convinced.
In fact, she had heard Fang Xing sing "Fireworks Easily Cold" on "Tomorrow's Star".
That song is also very strong.
However, at that time, Fang Xing's singing ability was not as strong as it is now.
Moreover, the song "Fireworks Easily Cold" was not sung by Fang Xing alone. The singing skills of the teammates were uneven, which also led to the song "Fireworks Easily Cold" having shortcomings.
But now this song "Blue and White Porcelain" has completely convinced her.
She was even a little envious.
She had an idea in her mind that if she sang "Blue and White Porcelain", she might be able to transcend the ranks of first-line singers and become an ancient style queen with this song.
It's a pity, now she knows how to sigh in her heart.
…
On the stage.
After the interlude, Fang Xing began to sing the second verse:
"The white and blue koi fish leapt at the bottom of the bowl.
"When I copied the inscription in Song script, I was thinking about you.
"The secret you have hidden in the kiln for thousands of years
"Extremely delicate, like an embroidery needle falling to the ground..."
The second verse of the song is different from the first verse, the artistic conception is equally beautiful and graceful.
The audience at the scene began to clasp their hands and put them on their hearts, listening quietly to this audio-visual feast.
This was the best song they had heard tonight, and it was simply a god-level performance.
Every note of the melody that Fang Xing sang was as accurate as if it were nailed to the music staff. It didn’t require any modification at all. The melody was as impeccable when sung live as when played on a CD.
The singer takes a break.
Shen Xiyin raised his hands, made a bowing gesture, and said in admiration: "Kneel down, I bow to the ground."
Xie Yuwen even shook his head and sighed: "This is going to win five consecutive championships..."
When Liu Hongsheng on the side heard these words, his expression became even stiffer.
The ancient harmony continued to play, and finally came to the last part of the chorus:
"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain and I'm waiting for you
"The moonlight was salvaged and fainted, and the ending
"Like the blue and white porcelain passed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself.
"You have a smile in your eyes..."
The song enters the ending, and even the piano sound in the ending is so melodious and beautiful.
When the last sound of the piano fell, the audience was still unfinished and waited quietly, hoping that there would be one more sentence.
However, this song is complete here.
Fang Xing slowly put down the microphone, waited for a moment, and after his emotions were separated from the artistic conception of the song, he held his chest with his hands, turned to the band, and bowed in thanks.
The musicians in the band nodded in response.
They were also impressed by the song and sighed in their hearts that they were very satisfied to be able to participate in such a performance.
Another moment passed.
One audience member applauded first, and then the whole audience followed suit.
Thunderous applause resounded throughout the studio hall and lasted for a long time.
The audience applauded and shouted: "One more song! It's so nice!"
However, this is the competition stage for "Song", not a concert, and there is no second song.
After Fang Xing sang, he thanked the audience, then turned around and walked off the stage to rest, waiting for the final ranking results.
