Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 28 The Original Voice
Friday night at 11:[-], Huaxia Headquarters, NO.[-] studio hall.

"Is the scene OK?"

"On-site OK, on-site OK."

"Okay, sound mixing, lighting, filming, all departments are ready.

Competing singers enter the arena, the host is in place, ten, nine, eight, seven, six... three, two, one, start. "

At the order of chief director Wen Zhuoran, two beams of strong light from the top of the studio hit the stage, and the recording of the fourth phase of "The Voice of Originality" officially started.

"Hi everyone, welcome to the competition site of "The Voice of Originality". I am Jiang Liang, the host of this show."

As soon as Jiang Liang, the host in a black striped suit, stepped onto the stage, there was a burst of thunderous applause from the audience.

"Today is the fourth issue of "Original Voice". After the previous three rounds of fierce competition, two original musicians left our stage with regret. If someone leaves, it means that there will be new singers joining us. .”

Jiang Liang waved his hand back, and the silhouettes of An Lin and Shen Yuelou appeared on the big screen immediately.

"In this issue, we welcome two singers who kicked the hall, one is the original singer An Lin who is recommended by the fans on the official website, and the other is the original singer Shen Lin who is recommended by the professional production team to the program group. Moon Tower."

After introducing Shen Yuelou and An Lin's program selection methods, several interviews began to be broadcast on the big screen, which were the evaluations of An Lin and Shen Yuelou by competing singers or music producers.

"An Lin is a very good musician, and he maintains the innocence of a boy in his songs."

"I have listened to all of An Lin's works. He is sincere and his musical quality is also very good."

"I am optimistic about An Lin, his future is limitless."

……

"Teacher Shen is a genius. His talent in songwriting and song singing is so good that people are jealous."

Well-known singer Su Jin said so.

"At his age, I haven't seen a better musician than him."

The famous composer Zhu Guoping gave a relatively conservative evaluation that he thought.

After playing the two sets of interview shots, Jiang Liang immediately said to the audience: "Next, let's invite No. [-] kicker singer An Lin to bring you the song "Paper Spaceship in Dreams" with the warmest applause. "

"Anlin, come on, mom loves you!"

"An Lin! An Lin! An Lin!"

······
After the host Jiang Liang introduced the No. [-] singer who will be on stage, the audience immediately shouted the name of singer An Lin.

Shen Yuelou was sitting in a room in the backstage of the studio. Through the TV in the small room, he also saw An Lin on the stage.

He is not tall, thin and small, with a rather handsome appearance. He wears rimless glasses and holds an old acoustic guitar in his arms. He looks very quiet and shy.

On the stage, An Lin flicked the guitar and sang in a low voice: "When I was young, I had no one to accompany me. I folded a paper spaceship and flew and flew... until the end of my dream."

Halfway through An Lin's "Paper Spaceship in Dreams", a staff member hurried to Shen Yuelou's room and told him that he was ready to go on stage.

Following the staff to the side of the stage, Shen Yuelou happened to hear Jiang Liang say on the stage: "I'm asking No. [-] kicking hall singer Shen Yuelou to bring you a song "Love and Death"."

Jiang Liang left the stage quietly, and the lights on the stage dimmed suddenly.

When all the lights of the film crew and the eyes of the audience gathered on the stage, Shen Yuelou, wearing a blue gown, holding a folding fan in one hand and a microphone in the other, stepped onto the stage with light and shadow.

With a handsome face, a tall and straight body, and a clean temperament cultivated in more than ten years of Peking Opera training, he caught the audience's attention as soon as he appeared on stage.

"Wow, this guy is so handsome!"

"Shen Yuelou? I've never heard of it. There doesn't seem to be such a character in Yanjing's original music circle."

"It's gaudy and looks like this. If I can write and sing the song well, I'll eat the voting machine in my hand on the spot."

……

Shen Yuelou smiled gently, and when the audience gradually became quiet, he nodded slightly in the direction of the band.

This official performance is different from the version rehearsed yesterday.

After the rehearsal yesterday, I felt that the arranger in the program group did not compose the song as I wanted, so Shen Yuelou had to go to Zhu Guoping to re-arrange the song.

All Western musical instruments were discarded, replaced by ancient Chinese musical instruments as much as possible, and the main musical instrument was changed from piano to guqin.

The sound of the guqin sounded. Compared with the soothing and mournful piano prelude of the previous version, the sorrow of the guqin has a touch of remoteness and desolation, which is more in line with the artistic conception of the lyrics and music of "Love".

"From dusk, looking at the setting sun in the sky, I think of your face in a trance.

After all, looking back, it is inevitable to add sentimentality, sigh lightly, those good times of ours. "

The moment Shen Yuelou spoke, the audience couldn't help but let out a "wow" in unison.

"Stunning, really open your mouth and kneel."

"His timbre is also so special. It is not only textured, but also very recognizable."

"It's so stable, the breath is so long."

……

Amidst bursts of exclamation from the audience, Shen Yuelou continued to sing intoxicated: "The night is still young, the stars fall into the eye sockets, picking up a soft light.

The breeze blows, flickering candlelight, dancing alone without anyone watching, leaving petals floating in the wind.

I want to store all the past and make up a beautiful dream.

Maybe the illusion will hurt more in the end.

Fake joy, so why not?No one is sharing.

You were once my frontier,

Resist all my sorrows.

The west wind is broken, and the old friends are gone, now exiled by love, trapped in the center of tears. "

Hearing this, many music fans have been completely overcome with emotion. They are all secretly praying for a climax that can enhance or soothe their sad emotions.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh
...Haahahahahahahah..."

The plaintive voice, the sad tune, and the sobbing sound of the hole flute that suddenly joined in at this moment, immediately touched the tears of most of the audience.

"It's such a beautiful singing, it's so beautiful that it makes people feel sad."

"Mr. Shen's voice is too penetrating and contagious."

"It's so sad, my nose is a little sore."

……

The sobbing flute gradually receded, and the sound of the piano and the drum appeared alternately, and Shen Yuelou sang softly again: "From the twilight, look at the setting sun in the sky.

The night is still young, and the galaxy flows alone.

The sky is sunny and the scenery is beautiful. If you are not by your side, you can go to the sky, so what? "

At this point, the frequency of the piano and drums gradually became denser, and Shen Yuelou's voice suddenly increased by an octave, giving off a feeling of desolation and excitement.

"The boat passes through the airport, feeding loneliness. Frost falls in the wilderness, and tears are shed."

After a period of desolate and exciting falsetto singing, Shen Yuelou began another plaintive and lingering high-frequency singing: "Ah...ah...haaah...haaahhh."
