"General" is the song Jiang Yuan will sing at the opening ceremony of this chess championship.
A rap song with Chinese style, included in Jay Chou's special album "Qili Xiang".
Among Jay Chou's many hit singles, this one is not considered unpopular.
The lyrics are even based on the theme of chess, and it is particularly appropriate to sing them at the opening ceremony of the championship.
With the expectations of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, Jiang Yuan stepped onto the stage.
The costumes for this performance are also a set of new Chinese-style costumes with gold as the main color specially customized for this performance.
In order to fit in with the event, chess elements were also incorporated into the clothes.
Just looking at the costumes, they look good, but they are not universal. The clothes are good-looking, but they are not necessarily suitable for people.
But when you put it on Jiang Yuan, it looks very good even in person and in clothes.
The moment Jiang Yuan appeared on the stage, the audience in the venue also cheered.
The seats closer to the stage are occupied by chess players from national teams around the world.
Cheng Li was one of the participating chess players from China. Seeing Jiang Yuan appear on the stage, his emotions also fluctuated.
When he participated in competitions before, he would listen to songs sung by Jiang Yuan before the competition.
Recently, I have become very fond of the song "General" that Jiang Yuan will sing next, and I am planning to use it as my pre-game battle song in the near future.
I was also very surprised to hear Jiang Yuan's live version before the game this time.
"Isn't this Hong Shixian?" Cheng Li was just getting excited when the Peninsula player next to him made a surprised sound.
"Yes." Cheng Li subconsciously spoke, but he didn't expect that even the players from Kimchi Country knew Jiang Yuan.
The chess championship attracts a lot of attention because of the game itself, but the opening ceremony attracts less attention than the official game.
However, with Jiang Yuan as the opening guest, the opening ceremony was much more lively than the previous ones.
Compared with the live broadcast, the online live broadcast of the opening ceremony is more lively, and the barrage in the live broadcast room has turned on the screen-swiping mode.
【Ah ah ah ah ah so handsome! 】
【I'm coming!】
【Opening lineup! Looks great!
】
【I’ll just say hello to my husband!】
【The live broadcast is so powerful!】
[The prelude has already begun to ignite!
】
As soon as the prelude of the song began, the drums were already beating, and the guitar and string sections also started up one after another, violently impacting the eardrums of the audience.
This time, Shen Yi's dance troupe was also participating in the performance with Jiang Yuan. They had formed a formation around Jiang Yuan and started dancing to the rhythm.
At the same time, in the accompaniment, the distinctive rhythmic sound of scratching throughout the whole song also made many audience members start to move subconsciously.
Jiang Yuan stood in the center of the stage, adjusted his ears, and his body also moved gently to the rhythm.
The intro to "General" was a song he had listened to many times and found it very cool. In the intro part, he was grooving to the rhythm while brewing his emotions, and started singing after settling on the beat.
"The arrows of time all point to the place where you failed and returned."
"You will move forward, but eventually you have to get used to surrender."
"Of course, the sixth step is your biggest fatal injury."
"I stand still, out of habit, and do everything silently."
As soon as Jiang Yuan started singing, his rapping voice was like a scalpel, hitting the beat accurately and controlling the accompaniment extremely well.
This is not the first time Jiang Yuan has sung the song "General" live.
But last time because it was a music festival, I had to deliberately conserve my energy, but this time it was different, I immediately felt full of energy.
In the opening few lines, Cheng Li sang with a bit of enthusiasm. The live mic was all on, and it was no worse than the studio version, and even more impressive.
"It's just a polite opening."
"The screen horse has a restrained spirit and can overcome strength with softness."
"Twenty-sixth move, five guns into four, just a tentative measurement."
"Thirty-three moves, Che Erpingqi's attack, I'm afraid you can't defend yourself from hidden attacks."
Lines of lyrics came out of Jiang Yuan's mouth, and matched with the lyrics on the stage screen, the audience could hear them very clearly.
Especially some players in the front row immediately became excited when they heard the layout and moves in chess being rapped by Jiang Yuan.
Cheng Li found that the team members next to him seemed more excited than himself.
But Cheng Li can also understand. After all, the reason why he likes to listen to this song is that every time he listens to it, he will have a feeling of being possessed by the second soul, which can quite arouse his emotions.
"This is a bloodless battle, only self-esteem will be hurt."
"The iron rule of success and failure is no different from reality."
"The old man holding the birdcage stood aside and patted me on the shoulder."
"I guess he was thinking the same thing as me!"
In the first verse of the main song, Jiang Yuan's singing maintained a frivolous and uninhibited feeling, and the texture of the singing made both the live and online audiences feel very comfortable.
If the previous paragraph made many chess players feel immersed in listening to it, then this short paragraph touched the audience's point even more.
Most of the audience at the opening ceremony were those who bought tickets for the first day of the game. They were basically passers-by to Jiang Yuan, and a few happened to be fans of Jiang Yuan.
Some chess fans are not very interested in Jiang Yuan's performance itself.
But after listening to the lyrics carefully, my thoughts changed and I felt that the lyrics were quite appropriate.
In their eyes, every chess game is like what the lyrics say, a bloodless battle with iron rules for victory and defeat just like reality.
And the words of the old man carrying the birdcage made many uncles who came to the scene feel very comfortable.
On the stage, Jiang Yuan was completely immersed in the performance of the song. The end of the verse transitioned to the chorus very naturally.
"Look at me!"
"Relax my fingers! My gaze is like a dragon! Treat the enemy as empty!"
"My tactics are endless! I attack like the wind! Use a bicycle to enter the palace!"
"Run over your depressed face!"
The chorus was a rap with a melody, and Jiang Yuan walked to the front of the stage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Every sentence is sung sonorously and powerfully, with full momentum.
The dance amplitude of the dancers around him also increased, which instantly ignited the mood of the scene.
Many spectators were led to stand up from their seats and danced their arms.
In the player's box, Cheng Li's fingers were gently tapping the rhythm beside his thigh. In fact, he already wanted to get up.
Nearly half of the song was sung, and the online live barrage atmosphere became more and more popular as if it were live.
【Damn! This is too hot!】
[It’s really amazing to sing like this on the live broadcast of Quan Kaimai!]
【Hearing this makes me want to play chess!】
[Oh my god, Jiang Yuan is in great shape today, he’s so strong!]
[God-level scene is available!]
【It’s so awesome! The shark is going crazy!
】
【This is a perfect performance!】
On the stage, Jiang Yuan finished singing the first chorus and came to the interlude of the song.
The arrangement of the interlude has changed, retaining only the sound effects of strings and scratching, while adding the timbre of the Indian sitar.
Co-writing this interlude, Jiang Yuan and the dancers performed a small dance in coordination, which once again enriched the level of the live performance and raised the atmosphere of the scene to another level.
The interlude dance part ended, and the backup dancer casually threw the microphone in front of Jiang Yuan.
The skills previously opened through the system seemed to have no effect, but the skills that helped Jiang Yuan contribute many cool clips at the music festival were 100% activated when connected to the microphone.
Jiang Yuan took the microphone from the air seemingly casually, and just in time clicked the tempo to start singing the next verse.
"I'm thinking about the tide, what is static braking?"
"Can the fog in the mountains and forests be used as a cover-up?"
"The trajectory of the moon and stars is the same as the formation of the Lin army."
"Isn't Fenglin Huoshan a heavy warrior?"
Jiang Yuan walked carefully and took the microphone, and with the second verse of lyrics that had a sense of strategizing, he once again made the scene cool.
The barrage has already filled the screen with the shape of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh".
In the audience, Cheng Li had to admit that this section was so handsome that he was moved to his heart.
"So handsome!" The person next to him sighed at the right time, which made him feel that he was sighing from his own heart.
Cheng Li turned around and was surprised to find that the person who sighed was actually a player from Kimchi Country.
As a Kimchi national chess player who specializes in Chinese chess, he is relatively familiar with Chinese.
But it's still a bit far to understand rap, but I was still impressed by Jiang Yuan's performance.
In addition to liking this kind of song with a strong sense of rhythm, another part of me is attracted by Jiang Yuan's typhoon, which is indeed very handsome.
Furthermore, I never expected that Hong Se-hyun in the TV series I followed would be so contrasting on stage, and I was completely attracted by this reverse charm.
"In the end, I will definitely be the one strategizing, and you will give up resistance in the end!"
"I'm looking up at the sunset, you bow your head and leave quietly!"
"Listen to me, victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. You don't need to take it to heart!"
"It's because I'm only suitable for Wushuang!"
This paragraph, besides being crazy, is still crazy!
Jiang Yuan immersed himself in the song and sang with his head raised slightly, and his performance of this section also exuded a kind of just right madness.
After this part of the singing ended, it went directly to the chorus, which made many audience members feel numb.
It also made many chess players excited.
Just a performance at the opening ceremony has already reminded many people of the scene when their opponent leaves the field victorious.
Why Cheng Li likes to listen to this song is because it has a sense of immersion and momentum.
Whenever he wins, Cheng Li plays this song silently in his heart.
Currently listening to the live version sung by Jiang Yuan, I can't help but follow the lyrics and outline the picture in my heart.
He planned the strategy. After the general won, he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. The sunset reflected his silhouette. He then said in a low voice, "Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists!"
Just imagining this middle-class section made Cheng Li's lips curl up.
"Take care of me!"
"My fingers are relaxed! My eyes are like a dragon!"
"When the enemy is empty! I shoot left and right!"
"My momentum is like a rainbow! Use all the artillery and horses!"
"When the troops are approaching the city, it's useless to escape!"
On the stage, Jiang Yuan was completely immersed in the performance.
In the chorus part, each sentence is more powerful than the other.
This kind of performance state also completely infected the emotions of the audience.
Many audience members who originally liked or were fans of Jiang Yuan's songs had already stood up from their seats and started getting excited with the rhythm of the song.
The passers-by and the audience were also infected by the emotion of the song.
Such lyrics and performance style really made them so handsome that they also stretched out their hands and gestured in the air.
The kimchi country player next to Cheng Li couldn't restrain himself and jumped up from his seat.
At the same time, it also attracted the attention of Cheng Li's teammates.
After noticing the players from Kimchi Country, they also discovered something was wrong with Cheng Li.
Cheng Li, who was still immersed in his sophomore fantasy, had a smile on his face while listening to the song, which made his teammates feel a little stunned. How come they were so stupid after listening to the song?
After another chorus ended, another chorus followed.
However, this section is more layered.
The original rap part was recorded in advance by Jiang Yuan and added to the accompaniment.
The rap continued, and Jiang Yuan took the trumpet from the backup dancer and sang the melody.
"The sun smiled through the cracks in the leaves and warmed my sweet dreams."
"Only the thrush in the cage envies the sky, but no one ever understands"
Jiang Yuan's singing was processed by speakers at the scene, which was somewhat similar to the studio version.
The layered listening experience also gave many listeners at the scene goosebumps.
Compared with the previous rap part that was full of frivolity, this section had a leisurely and comfortable feeling. Cheng Li couldn't help but squint his eyes while listening to it.
During the last chorus, Jiang Yuan put down the trumpet again and sang with a real voice to a similar effect, showing different levels and completing the song.
The song ends here, and the outro is a sample of the recorded version.
In order to get closer to the original version, Deng Ge specially sneaked into the park and watched the old men play chess for an entire afternoon before recording it.
The noise in the park, and the uncle’s last words, “Uncle (General Beibei)!”
It brought the entire performance to an end.
At the end of the performance, Jiang Yuan led the dancers present and bowed to the audience before preparing to leave.
The audience immediately responded enthusiastically to Jiang Yuan's performance.
There was endless applause and cheers.
There were also many contestants in the contestants' seats who were inflamed by this song, but they also applauded with restraint as the camera panned.
Even the Kimchi Country players who jumped up before fell silent.
"Handsome! "General" is so handsome!
"At this time, Cheng Li jumped out.
While clapping and shouting, he stood out among the other players.
Even Jiang Yuan, who was about to step down, noticed what was going on here.
The teammates around him were startled at first, and then they all smiled.
In any case, after this song "General", morale was indeed lifted.
【The shark is crazy, the shark is really crazy!】
[This live version is directly like a god, I say!]
[I just woke up early in the morning, and I woke up immediately!]
[The whole song is high-energy, it’s really crazy!]
【It would be perfect to put it at the opening ceremony!】
[I won’t say it anymore. When I go to the chess room to play chess, this song will be the BGM!
】
[How can there be such a cool song as "General"! 】
【Not much to say, I’m going for a loop! 】
When Jiang Yuan left the scene, the response to the barrage was also explosive.
