“This song is quite addicting after listening to it too many times.”
After singing the song, Deng Ge made this comment.
"Unforgiven" is indeed not one of Deng Ge's favorite songs.
However, Deng Ge estimates that this song will have a good effect as the theme song of a TV series.
After all, he didn't even watch the show, but after listening to it a few times, he was already a little bit hooked.
"We won." Jiang Yuan said while watching the voting results on TV.
Zhuang Meilan stood center stage with the former rapper, and the results were revealed, "Unforgiven" successfully won.
It can be regarded as a coincidence. Before the series was aired, the song "Unforgiven" was actually not easy to be popular.
But combined with the program effect of "Voice of the Times", it's a bit off the mark.
In addition, Penguin TV's recent marketing of the drama "The Temptation of Going Home" has been quite aggressive.
It is frequently searched for, and the hot searches related to "Unforgiven" have already been arranged, causing a certain degree of heated discussion on the Internet.
The level of being outside the circle is still much higher than Meng Ziyang's fan-limited OST.
"Which song will Lao Lu sing tonight?" Deng Ge asked curiously after watching the first stage of "Unforgiven".
"The 1997" contains a total of ten songs, five of which were written by Jiang Yuan.
Two songs have been released before, and today Lu Qing is going to sing one of the other three songs.
"Guess what?" Jiang Yuan did not answer directly.
On TV, it will be Lu Qing's turn soon.
One of the benefits of live streaming is that there aren’t too many interruptions between each performance.
Hearing this, Deng Ge thought for a while. The songs that Lu Qing was mainly promoting for his album this time were the five songs that Jiang Yuan put out.
Apart from the title song, it is a song that is more suitable for tonight. Deng Ge immediately had the answer, ""Life is like a summer flower"!"
On TV, the host began to announce the scene, and the answers were unanimous.
"It's really this one!" Deng Ge looked a little excited.
Lu Qingchen has composed so many songs, and this is his favorite.
It was okay at first, but after listening to it a few more times, I became more and more aware of the charm and power contained in the lyrics and music.
The song "Born Like a Summer Flower" is the title track of Pu Shu's album released in 2003.
On the TV screen, Lu Qing stood on the stage, the music played, and the performance officially began.
With a few crisp sounds of drummers hitting each other's drum sticks, the lights came on.
Then the drums were beaten, other instruments came in at the same time, and the harmony group also began to sing.
"cwala Qiumu...cwala Qiumu..."
The harmony group sings lyrics with unclear meanings, and at first glance you might think they are in some niche language.
But in fact, this is what Pu Shu himself hummed when he was composing this song.
Although the meaning is unclear, it also has its own unique vitality.
Especially in the opening moment, the chorus suddenly sung under the golden lights is very powerful.
Lu Qing stood in the center of the stage, singing along with the harmony group.
Deng Ge sat in front of the TV and listened very attentively, even though he already knew that this short paragraph was just humming casually.
But he still felt that these unclear lyrics contained a special moving power.
The opening chorus ended, with guitar accompaniment, and Lu Qing began to sing.
“I don’t know how long I have been sleeping in the darkness.”
“I don’t know how difficult it is to open my eyes.”
At the beginning of Lu Qing's singing, the singing voice was a little low, but the emotion and sense of narrative were just right.
It's like telling the prologue of a story.
"I came from afar, and you happened to be there too."
"Infatuation lingers in the world, I am wild for her..."
Lu Qing's singing is paired with the accompaniment of the live harmony group, and the music is mixed with emotional reflections, with regret and hope coexisting.
After the verse section ends, it transitions to the chorus.
Different from the explosive "Fireworks", the chorus of "Life is Like a Summer Flower" is more like a quiet flame burning in the darkness, calm but powerful.
"I am this dazzling moment, the flame that flashes across the horizon."
"I risk everything for you to see me, I will burn out and never come back"
The same song will produce different reactions and feelings in the ears of different listeners.
For example, right now, when Jiang Yuan and Deng Ge are in the same space, their feelings are completely different.
Deng Ge has listened to this song many times, but this is the first time he listened to the live version, and he has a completely different feeling.
The picture on the TV screen is as gorgeous as the lyrics, but the reflection in Deng Ge's child's hole reflects the past time.
Some hidden emotions in my heart boiled up at this moment.
"I'm here, right here"
"As short as a sudden shock, as gorgeous as summer flowers"
Lu Qing sang loudly. He could control this song very well and made no mistakes.
Immediately after the chorus, there was another singing in an unknown language that started with "cwalaqiumu".
Compared with the opening, the singing in this section is more powerful.
After Deng Ge's emotions surged with the song, they were released at this moment, and he was choked up for a while.
"This is such a beautiful and regretful world. We just hugged each other and laughed and shed tears..."
Lu Qing's singing continued, and after another verse, there were three consecutive choruses.
This time the chorus should be sung more powerfully than the first verse, and at the same time it has a more hopeful feel.
Jiang Yuan sat in front of the TV and listened, feeling a little confused.
Some people are good at singing and can bring people into their songs.
Lu Qing on the stage at this time, in Jiang Yuan's eyes, was like a gorgeous blooming summer flower.
The lyrics of the last chorus have also been changed. At the same time, the harmony group is also singing beside it, and the two duets are overlapped.
It seems like people can see summer flowers blooming and flames splendid...
"I am this shining moment...I want you to love me no matter what..."
"There are springs all the way, and thorns all the way."
"As short as a sudden death, as gorgeous as summer flowers"
After the last chorus, Lu Qing lowered his singing voice and finally sang, "This is a world that cannot stay for too long."
The concert ended here, and the barrage exploded one after another.
【Master Lu is awesome!】
【Sing me till I burst into tears!】
[Is the middle section in Tibetan? The singing is so moving!]
【This song is so beautiful and gives people a very hopeful feeling! 】
[The lyrics are really good. I wanted to scold Jiang Yuan for being bad at writing songs.]
[A very powerful song, watch my Luye tulle finals this time! Buy the new album.]
After listening to the song, Deng Ge's mood returned to normal.
He likes this song very much and it can arouse his emotions while listening to it.
But these emotions were also re-understood during the singing of this song.
He especially liked the last line of the song, "This is a world that cannot stay for too long."
It is precisely because this is a world that is destined not to stay for too long, so we should not indulge in past emotions. Life and lunch are as gorgeous as summer flowers.
After Lu Qing's performance, Jiang Yuan also took out his mobile phone, logged into Weibo, found the pure enjoyment version of "Life is Like a Summer Flower", forwarded it and recommended it.
【Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves.】
Jiang Yuan directly copied out famous verses from Rabindranath Tagore's "The Birds" translated by Zheng Zhenduo and used them as recommendations.
Not long after it was posted on Weibo, related topics quickly became popular.
[A song with beautiful and powerful lyrics, and Lu Qing sings it well!]
[Interlude Wudi, what language is it in? Have you heard of it? 】
[Another high-quality new song, this one is a must-buy from Lu Qing’s new album!]
...
Jiang Yuan briefly glanced at the discussions on related topics, then turned his attention to the TV and continued watching with Deng Ge.
After Lu Qing finished singing "Life is Like a Summer Flower", she successfully won the first round and entered the second round of the finals.
In the second round, Lu Qing still sang the songs from the new album, but they were not the five songs Jiang Yuan sang.
It is a rock song written by Zheng Qingyang.
Although the program "Voice of the Times" does not have a very good reputation, the final stage still attracts a lot of attention, and it is a good stage for singing.
In the second round, Lu Qing sang a song called "Walking in the Summer Night"
It is a rather cheerful rock song. Lv Qing himself also participated in part of the lyrics. Zheng Qingyang composed the main body of the arrangement, while Deng Ge was responsible for fleshing out the details.
So when this song was played on TV, Deng Ge was also very involved.
He was calling Lu Qing the whole time.
Finally, the final results of "Voice of the Times" were announced.
Although it was not stated explicitly that it was Lu Qing who won the championship, he was awarded a Era record as a symbol, which was actually the same as the championship.
After witnessing Lu Qing successfully win the first place, Jiang Yuan and Deng Ge were in a good mood.
After all, Lu Qing is now considered one of his own family members.
Returning to the music scene and winning the championship again will be very beneficial for the release of the next album.
Although Deng Ge has not officially joined Jiang Yuan Studio yet, he feels that it will be a matter of time.
After watching "Voice of the Times" at Jiang Yuan's house, Deng Ge said goodbye and left.
Lu Qing successfully won the first place and was once again on the hot search list.
At the same time, the response and reputation of "Life is Like a Summer Flower" have also spread, and music critics have commented and shared their opinions, including Chen Hai.
【I listened to a lot of songs in the new year.
I was watching "Voice of the Times" today and I was particularly moved when I heard the song "Life is Like a Summer Flower" sung by Lu Qing. The lyrics and melody were very touching.
Sometimes, it is inevitable to indulge in past memories, some regretful moments, all kinds of unhappy memories, and words that are difficult to express to others that are buried deep in your heart.
On the bright side, this is called emo in a relaxed tone, but when you can't get out of it, it's depression.
Listening to Lu Qing singing "Life is Like a Summer Flower", I felt like I was being caressed by the warm sun, and like a warm current flowing through my heart. When the song in the middle of the song, which I don't know what language it was in, I felt the regrets and unhappiness of the past.
All the good emotions were slowly melted away.
After listening to the whole song, a certain kind of power fills my heart. Just like what the song says, life is short, so you should make it worthwhile. There will be thorns, but there will also be spring. Look forward and live this short life well. I hope you will too.
Blooming like summer flowers!]
Chen Hai wrote a short essay, which cannot even be classified as a music review.
It is just a short experience after listening to the song, but it has received more likes and reposts than some professional reviews from the perspective of lyrics and composition.
The first stage performance of "Born Like a Summer Flower" raised the public's expectations for Lu Qing's album to a higher level again.
As a standard work, "Walking in the Summer Night" has also successfully received certain praise.
The night Lu Qing won the first place, the pre-sale sales of the new album "the 1997" once again caused a huge increase.
In one night, nearly 20,000 albums were sold.
More than 10,000 of them are the most expensive CD+tape version.
One week after the finals of "Voice of the Times", the sound sources of "Life is Like a Summer Flower" and "Walking in the Summer Night" were released one after another.
The song "Life is Like a Summer Flower" has great staying power and was only released two days after it was broadcast on stage.
As soon as the sound source was released, it shot to No. 1 on the real-time charts. Such a song has won the love of many listeners.
It dominated the charts for several days, until the day Lu Qingqing's album "the 1997" was officially launched for sale.
On May 15th, at 12 noon, Lu Qingqing’s album was officially launched with great fanfare.
All major music software also cooperated with the promotion. Half an hour before the album was released, the recommendation position on the homepage of the software had special effects to match the album concept.
A tape-style pop-up window, click on it to jump to Lu Qingqing's album page.
The album contains ten songs.
The five songs produced by Jiang Yuan are in addition to the three songs that have already been performed.
The other two songs, one is "New Boy" by Pu Shu, and the other is "St Dance" by Wu Bai.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The lyrics of the song "new boy" coincide with the concept of Lu Qing's album, so they were edited by Lu Qing.
In addition, the melody of this song is really nice and catchy.
As for "St Dance", I was selected solely because of Lu Qing's timbre.
The other songs included in the album, except for the one written by Zheng Qingyang, are also written by several veterans in the rock circle, and each one is of an online standard.
In this way, a rich and conceptually brilliant album was born.
Originally, according to the original plan of the studio, the short film shot by Lu Qing for this album would also be released online together with the album.
But because the later work has not been completed, the launch can only be postponed.
After "the 1997" was released online, offline record stores cooperated with the promotion and began to sell a large number of products.
Basically, most well-known audio stores in China are mainly promoting Lu Qing's new album.
At present, the total album sales have reached more than 150,000, which shows that Lu Qing's appeal is still very strong.
At the same time, the studio is also considering arranging autograph sessions, album tours and other activities for Lu Qing's album to coordinate with the promotion.
At the Blue Sky Video Store, Zhang Xiang walked into the store with a tape player and bought a tape of "The 1997".
This is the first time Lu Qing has bought a record since his band disbanded.
Pick the tape and pay.
After walking out of the store, Zhang Xiang couldn't wait to unpack the package, put the tape into the machine, and put on the headphones.
A familiar voice came from the headphones. In the past, Lu Qing's voice would be introduced as a narration at the beginning of every tape.
This time is no exception, just slightly different.
[Hello everyone, I am Lu Qing, this is my latest album "the 1997", let's go back to the late 1990s of the last century...]
The narration ends and the music starts.
Zhang Xiang stood in front of the record store, carrying an old-fashioned player and wearing headphones, and his thoughts began to rewind along with the music.
