All the hosts exited the stage and the lights flickered on and off.
On the stage, there was nothing but a piano and Jiang Siming sitting in front of the piano.
The scene was so quiet that one could hear the needle drop, everyone was looking forward to Jiang Siming's new song.
Wang Han in the audience and the deputy director who came to watch were all smiles. They seemed to have seen the ratings of this episode of "Tian Tian Shang Shang" skyrocketing.
Jiang Siming never sang when he was in Kuaiben.
In addition to the previous "Singer", if you want to hear Jiang Siming sing, especially new songs, you can only do so in his live broadcast room...
The quiet scene was interrupted by the sound of Jiang Siming's piano.
The plaintive sound of the piano spread out from the stage, instantly washing away the originally lively atmosphere.
An inexplicable sadness lingers in everyone's heart.
Only truly powerful singers have this ability to listen to music and express emotions.
All it takes is a prelude and a note to bring your emotions into it.
Composition skills and piano skills are indispensable.
The eloquent notes are like bitter wine seeping into the soul, making people's breathing begin to feel a little suppressed.
The tone has been completely set before the song even begins.
"The first dawn shines through the window, the sun shines on the West Bridge, and the clouds sway
I miss the corners of your clothes that swayed slightly in the breeze
Gilded wood carving, ripples of time
Closed seven years ago
Because I spend my whole life just for you..."
The previous melody was echoed repeatedly, and the rising thoughts seemed to have found an outlet and were vented all at once.
It also seems to indicate that the story will be sung and delivered on a tray.
This first paragraph alone makes everyone feel the familiar Chinese style.
The lyrics are as carefully crafted as a piece of beautiful jade, making people unable to help but read between the lines and have a sweet aftertaste.
Dawn, the same as dawn, both mean that dawn has arrived.
The windows were illuminated by the morning sun, the bridge to the west was illuminated by the sun, and only the clouds were swaying alone in the sky.
This whole sentence was reduced by Jiang Siming to just eleven words.
From this first sentence, you can feel how powerful the lyrics are.
If anyone can write like this during school, even if you get zero marks in other classes, your Chinese teacher will spare no effort to love and care for you.
And a poignant story is automatically generated in everyone's mind.
On this sunny morning, a special day, I thought of a girl who was no longer here seven years ago.
This girl must be the person the protagonist loves most, otherwise how could he write for her?
"The rain wet my eyes
Relying on the well and looking forward to returning to the hall every year
What I'm most afraid of is that I'll tear up two lines without realizing it..."
The tears were obviously made in memory of a loved one, but they had to be said to be wet by rain.
I hold back my emotions and don't want to let them out.
Despite this, he would still lean by the well at the entrance of the village every year, hoping that his beloved would come back.
Only then did everyone remember that in a few days, it would be Qingming Festival.
The festive atmosphere was enveloped in advance, which made all the audience's hearts tighten when they heard it, as if someone had suddenly touched the softest place in their hearts.
For a moment, I felt the urge to burst into tears.
Jiang Siming's playing fingers suddenly accelerated, and the rhythm of the song suddenly rose to an emotional peak!
"I am wandering in the world and cannot find your paradise
Put the bottle in the east and the mirror in the west, wishing you could not forget it
It’s Qingming rain again, and the chrysanthemums are sent to you
Sing your favorite song softly..."
If everyone could still control their emotions during the prelude, many older audience members shed tears after hearing this.
Life, old age, illness and death, good and bad, there will always be someone, either a relative or someone you love, who passes away.
Why is there Tomb-Sweeping Day? Isn’t it just to let everyone express their condolences?
Especially the audience whose loved ones passed away were in tears.
After you leave, the world will not be a good place without you.
I am left to wander around in this world without any purpose, and I will never find your voice, face or face again.
Maybe the Qingming Festival is the only time to connect the world and heaven.
So every year at this time, no matter how far away I am, I will come back to your grave to visit you and sing you your favorite songs.
"There is a harp in the distance, it is so ethereal, its sound is making it rain.
Juanjuan tell yourself what's on your mind
The moon shadow is longing, the fireworks are heavy, the candles are red
The old dreams of the mortal world have become empty..."
Talented men and beautiful women, talented men and beautiful women, red candles swaying.
Among the branches above the moon, the two of them were chopping wood, washing crops, and making a fire by the shore of the stove.
What a happy time this is.
However, all this is just an old dream in the mortal world and has passed.
What's left is endless thoughts and sorrow.
The people who cried were not only the audience, but also Wang Han, the program director and the deputy director.
This song is not only a sad story, but also a memory that resonates in the hearts of many people.
It wasn't until the music ended that everyone realized with a sense of disappointment that the song had ended.
Jiang Siming left the piano and the hosts returned to the stage.
The lights come back on again.
"A Ming, what's the name of this song?" Wang Han asked impatiently as soon as he came on stage.
Jiang Siming replied: ""On the Qingming Rain""
"What a great name. It's very appropriate. When I hear a song like this when the Qingming Festival is coming, I feel like you're going to trick countless listeners into crying when you air this program."
Wang Han sighed with emotion, but soon he remembered something again and asked curiously:
"By the way, I just listened to this song. There is a section called 'Putting a bottle in the east and a mirror in the west'. What does this lyric mean?"
Jiang Siming explained with a smile: "This is actually an Anhui custom. Hui-style buildings all face north and south, with the table facing east and west, a vase on the east, a mirror on the west, and a bell in the middle."
"The meaning is that the bell will be alive (sound), the bottle will be quiet (mirror), and I hope the deceased can rest in peace forever in heaven."
Everyone was suddenly stunned, including Wang Han, who shouted for knowledge.
After the song is sung, it’s time for the show to end.
With Wang Han's skillful closing speech, the recording of this episode of "Tian Tian Shang Shang" came to a successful conclusion.
After Jiang Siming had dinner with Wang Han, that evening, he took Liang Tian back to Shanghai.
The program was soon broadcast nationwide on the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day, during prime time.
Because of the arrival of Jiang Siming in this episode, Mango TV's ratings surpassed those of its peers, firmly occupying the top spot in the ratings!
Jiang Siming's song "Raining on Qingming Festival" even broke the Internet and major music platforms.
On the occasion of the Qingming Festival, this song is simply a tearjerker!
Jiang Siming also understands. On his Gulu Weibo, everyone is begging him to play the recorded version.
He had recorded it at the company the day before.
The recorded version of "On the Qingming Rain" adds a lot of instruments and the sound quality is purer, which improves the quality of the song by several levels.
For a time, this song took the top spot on all music platforms with lightning speed!
