"The wind continues to blow, I can't bear to stay away, and there are tears in my heart. I don't want to look at you with tears. There are so many happy memories in the past, why not pursue them with you..."
Zhang Weijian was playing and singing affectionately on the stage, but the four instructors who turned to face the audience had mixed reactions. Su Rui was tapping her fingers in time, Xu Xiaofeng was humming along with the song, and Zhen Ni and Lin Zixiang were interacting in a funny way.
.
"Wow, this contestant's singing skills are pretty good!" Lin Zi said with a smile.
Zhen Ni said: "You take pictures."
Lin Zixiang said: "There is someone in my team who has a similar style."
"Listen again, listen again!" Jenny said, sticking out her tongue and making a face at the camera.
Li Hacken's father was so excited in front of the TV that he jumped up in surprise and said: "Zhen Ni is making faces. Zhen Ni is actually making faces at me..."
Zhang Weijian on the stage was obviously a little anxious. He saw that halfway through the song, none of the instructors turned around, and there was a sudden break in the B section.
In the original "The Voice of China", most of the songs sung by the contestants have been re-arranged, giving the audience a refreshing feeling, and even better than the original songs. Unfortunately, midi technology in 1982 had not yet been developed
Popularity, re-arranging and singing a song is very troublesome, and the cost is almost as high as producing a single for a star singer.
It will probably take another four or five years for midi technology to become mature and popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which will greatly reduce the cost of music creation, save a lot of band players' expenses, and shorten the working time in the recording studio. A whole TV cultural evening
Composition, orchestration, and recording only require one music director and one recording engineer to complete the composition (arrangement), orchestration, performance, and recording of instrumental music.
Only then will the record industry usher in a boom period, with various small record companies and studios springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Of course, piracy will also become more rampant.
Phoenix TV's "The Voice of China" is limited to the contemporary era, and there is basically no special arrangement. It is just the original song sung from the record. Since there are star singers in front of them, it is difficult to highlight the personal characteristics of the contestants when singing the original arrangement.
This also makes the competition between players extremely fierce.
"Turn, turn!"
Seeing that Zhang Weijian was about to finish singing a song, but none of the instructors turned around, the audience couldn't help but shout.
Participating in the recording of a program is completely different from sitting in front of the TV and watching TV. A one-hour program on TV takes two to three hours to record, and a more rigorous program director may even spend six or seven hours.
These live audiences originally came for the four masters. They spent the same amount of money to watch two movies to buy tickets. After the recording of the program began, they gradually turned their attention from the four masters to the stage.
, when I see a singer I like, I can’t help but encourage my mentor to turn around.
Li Hacken also shouted in front of the TV: "Turn, turn, you can sing so well and you still can't turn!"
"Keep every tear in your eye, why do you still shed it silently intermittently? Why do you still shed it silently intermittently..."
When he sang the last verse, Zhang Weijian's heart dropped when he saw that the instructor still didn't turn around. After feeling a little frustrated, he simply abandoned his unnecessary thoughts and sang quietly, putting aside his years of hardship and his dream of singing.
It's all sung through singing.
"Why is it still flowing intermittently and silently..."
Just when Zhang Weijian sang the last line, Lin Zixiang and Su Rui suddenly clicked the mechanism at the same time, and the electric swivel chair made with HK$50,000 turned around.
"Boom!" Seeing the two instructors turning around at the same time, many viewers at the scene and those in front of the TV stood up in excitement.
When the last note fell, Lin Zixiang and Su Rui's swivel chairs turned completely, and Zhang Weijian shed two lines of tears.
Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni also turned around after singing. Seeing Zhang Weijian crying, Xu Xiaofeng comforted him: "Adjust your emotions and take your time."
Zhang Weijian pulled his sleeve sideways and wiped away all the tears. He choked with red eyes and said, "Okay."
Lin Zixiang said: "First introduce yourself."
Zhang Weijian took off the microphone and said: "My name is Zhang Weijian, I am 17 years old."
"Then you are still a student?" Su Rui asked. In fact, she had a player information form in her hand. Although Zhang Weijian's information was not completely recorded in it, the staff had drawn a red line in his occupation column to remind him of the four
The instructor directly asked more topical questions.
Zhang Weijian shook his head and said: "No, I have already dropped out of school."
Xu Xiaofeng asked: "Is it because you are not good at your homework and don't like reading?"
Zhang Weijian said excitedly: "Although my homework is not very good, I also want to continue studying like other students. However, I have to make money to support my family, so I can only drop out of school and work."
Jenny asked: "Where are your parents? What do they do?"
Zhang Weijian said: "My father used to sail a boat and would go home for three months every year, but he would beat my mother as soon as he came back. When I was 13 years old, my father ran away with a woman and never came back.
However, my mother supported us three siblings by working as a servant and raising children."
Su Rui asked: "So you are the eldest brother in the family and you have to drop out of school and work to make money to support your younger brothers and sisters?"
Zhang Weijian nodded and said, "Yes, my younger brothers and sisters are better at homework than me. They will definitely be able to get into college."
The TV screen cut to the audience in the front row. A person invited by the program team started to cry after applying eye drops, and then everyone began to applaud.
Zhen Ni asked: "Then what are you doing now?"
Zhang Weijian wiped his tears and said: "I was a singer in a bar, but I was fired some time ago. In the past two months, I have been selling fish eggs at a stall in front of a school."
Lin Zixian asked: "What is your dream?"
Zhang Weijian said: "My dream is to become a professional singer. I can make a lot of money by publishing records, so that my mother no longer has to be a servant, and my younger brothers and sisters can go to the best schools."
"Pa bang bang..." There was another burst of loud applause.
Xu Xiaofeng wiped away tears and said: "You can do it, Ah Jian, you are now standing on the big stage of Taiping Theater."
Lin Zixiang pointed at Xu Xiaofeng and said to Zhang Weijian: "Xiaofeng used to be just like you. She often came first in school when she was a child, but she dropped out of school when she was in the second year of secondary school and supported the whole family by singing."
Zhang Weijian bent down and bowed to Xu Xiaofeng.
Lin Zixiang patted Xu Xiaofeng and said, "Xiaofeng, please encourage the young people."
Xu Xiaofeng did not speak, but left the table directly and came to the stage and gave Zhang Weijian a silent hug.
If anyone got hugged by Xu Xiaofeng at the concert, the audience would definitely scream, but now it is thunderous applause.
Hacken Lee and his son also shed tears watching it in front of the TV. I don’t know how many people in Hong Kong are moved by this at this moment.
As an international metropolis, Hong Kong does have many wealthy people, but there are also countless grassroots families like Zhang Weijian. Zhang Weijian’s experience represents countless grassroots individuals in Hong Kong. Feeling the same, I don’t know how many viewers became Zhang Weijian at that moment
supporters.
This is true at the grassroots level, and young people are even more moved by the experiences of Zhang Weijian and Xu Xiaofeng, inspiring these impulsive young people to pursue their dreams.
Similarly, the audience also has a good impression of the four mentors. In the past, stars were aloof and unconventional. Under the deliberate packaging of record companies, stars were far away from ordinary people.
However, the four mentors' antics, fun, and tears in the show made them become ordinary people again, and they suddenly narrowed the distance between them and the audience. While the participating singers became famous, the four mentors also became famous.
It's a surge in popularity.
Then it was time for the power reversal, and it was Zhang Weijian's turn to choose his mentor.
Lin Zixiang took the lead in canvassing votes: "Ajian, do you know why I turned around at the last moment?"
Zhang Weijian forced a smile and said: "I didn't sing well before."
"Not bad," Lin Zixiang said: "You had a lot of ideas after you came on stage, and your singing skills were already very proficient, but you never put your emotions into singing, and you felt that the person and the song were separated. After that, you started to get nervous. Not only did your voice break, but you also lost your breath.
It's not enough. It wasn't until the last few sentences that you entered the state. I turned around for your last singing."
Lin Zixian bowed and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Lin Zixiang said: "Come to my team. You know that I am also a music producer. I can help you change some of your minor problems, and I can also help you overcome stage fright and nervousness."
Su Rui also started canvassing for votes: "Wei Jian, like you, I am also a resident singer. I sang in a club in Taiwan for three years, in the Hilton Hotel for six years, and then in a Western restaurant for three years. I
I have sung along the way. I know the resident singers very well, and we must have something in common. Come on, come to my group!"
Lin Zixiang interrupted: "Ajian, can you sing Mandarin songs?"
Zhang Weijian said: "I can sing a little, but I'm not very good at it."
"That's right," Lin Zixiang said with a smile, "Asu sings Mandarin songs, you are not the same."
Su Rui said anxiously: "Hey, I can also sing Cantonese, okay? I also won the best performance award in the wireless station's singing program."
"Really? Why didn't I know?" Lin Zixian looked like a scoundrel.
Su Rui asked: "If you don't believe me, I will sing you a Cantonese song live."
Zhen Ni, Lin Zixiang and Su Rui are all friends, and she took the opportunity to cheer at this moment: "Wow, Ms. Su Rui, the Queen of Happy Drinks and Mandarin Language, is singing live for everyone!"
Xu Xiaofeng was not idle either, calling to Zhang Weijian: "Ajian, please give the microphone to Miss Su quickly."
Zhang Weijian simply took out the microphones next to him, gave them to Lin Zixiang and Su Rui respectively, and said, "How about the two teachers sing a love song to each other."
"Duet, duet!" The audience, led by the nurse, began to cheer loudly.
The scene became full of joy, and the sad atmosphere just now was swept away. Lin Zixiang and Su Rui couldn't stand the instigation and began to sing Cantonese love songs on stage.
After the duet ended, Zhang Weijian chose Lin Zixiang to be his mentor.
"La la la..." Lin Zixiang acted like a villain and ran to dance in front of Su Rui's seat to celebrate. Su Rui was speechless because of Lin Zixiang. The two made the audience laugh out loud again.
laugh.
Hacken Li's father was also laughing in front of the TV. He thought the program was so interesting.
