【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

“We want the feeling that even though we are lacking oxygen, we can still sing well,” Li Shuirong added.

“Oh, yes~” Lin Pin’er pointed at the chorus and said, “Especially the line: You will come to find me.

If this line is sung by two people, it will have a sense of fate. It's like you also want to find me, and I'm sure you will come to find me. It feels a bit like telling a story..."

Li Shuirong felt that his heartbeat was in sync with hers at this moment. He just understood the feeling she was talking about, and she only wanted to tell it to herself. This was the sense of fate she was talking about, which was sublimated at this moment...

The two then hurried out to find Professor Chen. Their song "Oxygen" not only needed the electric piano accompaniment in the synthesizer, but also some string and flute solos, and the tone needed to be adjusted to the best by Professor Chen.

February 2.14th, Valentine's Day: Rong Yong Bai Chuan Live House:

Flowers sent by everyone were placed in a staggered manner at the door. The display board for the famous bands specially invited this month was two meters high. The long corridor was covered with photos of various performing bands, including a poster photo of Li Shuirong and Lin Pin'er, with the two leaning back to back, and the introduction below was printed with "Poetry Meets Song·Band" moly&noly.

The background wall behind the main stage is more than six meters high, with top-notch speakers and lights installed overhead, basically achieving studio-level stage audio-visual effects. The stage lights are like a dreamy light and shadow brush, swaying freely in the darkness, or like falling stars, dazzling. The stage is transformed into a gorgeous universe; or like a colorful chain in the sky, agile and elegant, covering the performance with a colorful coat; or like a mysterious magic wand, where the focus is, emotions and atmosphere are instantly ignited, and the flickering pulls the audience's heartbeat and breathing, making every moment a visual feast, immersed in this fantasy movement composed of light and shadow.

In the box on the third floor opposite the main stage sat the VIPs they had invited today. The wall facing the stage was made into a huge floor-to-ceiling window, where people could stand and watch the performance below. The speakers in the box were also connected to the stage.

The warm-up singers came on stage first. The first performer was a male folk singer, who sat and sang by himself. The friends who bought tickets and entered the venue followed the singing and slowly moved towards the stage. He sang one of his own songs, and then an adapted classic song.

There weren't many people at the moment. Some of the audience members who had gathered on the stage were holding up their mobile phones to record videos, while others were singing along quietly. The lights behind the stage were shining on the male singer, who was singing with ease and comfort.

Lin Pin'er was a little nervous while waiting for the performance. Her hands holding the white microphone were slightly sweaty. Li Shuirong encouraged her silently. In fact, he was also very nervous.

After a long time, it was their turn to go on stage. The two of them were as steady as veterans who had experienced countless performances. Lin Pin'er was wearing a white floor-length gown with a neckline in the style of an ancient Greek dress, which wrapped around her slender neck in layers. Her long black hair was loose, and two white ribbons were faintly visible behind her neck.

Li Shuirong was dressed in a white suit. He walked onto the stage with a wooden guitar on his back, and then adjusted the distance between himself and the synthesizer next to him and stood still.

"Hello everyone, we are "Poetry Meets Song Band", I am moly."

"I'm Noly." After introducing himself, Li Shuirong directly played the prelude of "Ru Yan" on the guitar. He made great changes from the original version, and it was like listening to a brand new song.

"Only if you are willing to close your eyes can you have a beautiful dream

Don't let regret cloud your past

Maybe only fragments can make memories bloom

Why not use porcelain flowers to piece together tomorrow

Who will lead me to find the model of happiness?

But I am trapped in the mystery

Who left me a lingering horizon?

The token is the sunset glow

Missing like a swallow

It dances on the tip of the tongue

(Dancing tongue)

If it's true love

Taste a bit of bittersweet

(bitter and sweet)

Thoughts

Pushing and rubbing in time...

Professor Chen adapted Li Shuirong's guitar into a rhythm guitar version with some percussion, making the whole song more lively.

In the private room upstairs, several elders gathered under the French windows, some holding red wine glasses in their hands.

"It sounds like Xiao Chen modified the guitar, right? It's completely your style." Professor Yue asked Professor Chen next to him softly.

Chen Chen immediately started talking. He bent down slightly to whisper to Professor Yue: "Their original version was too soft, although it was very emotional. But it would be rather flat if sung live, and the audience wouldn't be excited, so the effect would be average. This version will make the audience feel the rhythm..."

Grandmother Jia stood beside Chen Chen. She had good hearing. She could hear a few words of their conversation. She turned to listen to the song seriously. Her daughter, Pin'er, was like a little fairy today. She stood and sang gracefully, with a graceful figure, and occasionally swayed her body to the rhythm.

When it came to the middle guitar solo, Mrs. Li's eyes began to well up with tears. The man in front of her was no longer the one in her heart, but he was so similar to her that she couldn't help but choke up.

Jia Baoyu is tall, he stood behind his mother. He kept recording with his mobile phone, and he wanted to be the first to post it on social media and CP groups. He wanted to show off his sister's first performance, and he even thought of the text content.

Teacher Nie stood alone at the edge, her eyes slightly closed, listening carefully to the deficiencies in her voice so that she could go back and plan the content for the next class. However, her student had good innate conditions, her voice was extremely clean and ethereal, her elasticity was good, her breath was relatively stable, and her nervousness was still audible, but it did not affect the performance. As she went on stage more often and became less nervous, these problems would be solved.

After a song was sung, an audience member shouted, "Magic."

Lin Pin'er cleverly responded to her cry: "Magic? Magic Moly? (laughs) Thank you! Next, we still have time for one song. I'll sing you a hypoxic version of "Oxygen". I hope you like it. If you can sing, you can sing with us." She was originally prepared to say something, but not entirely to adjust the atmosphere. It was mainly to buy time for Li Shuirong. He needed to put his guitar on the shelf next to him, and then adjust the synthesizer and microphone stand.

Seeing that he was ready, the two exchanged glances. Over there, Li Shuirong played the prelude quietly with the sound of an electric piano.

Sinking deeper and deeper

I start to miss you

I am so lonely...

Ok……

Falling into a love that is getting colder and colder

I can't breathe

I want you

Haha…

People live on a breath of oxygen

Oxygen is you...

If you love me

You will come to me

(You will come to me)

You will know me

(Will know me)

Can't live fast

(I can’t live fast)

The two people's harmony is very good, and the story they tell is very much like lovers who have been in love for a long time, forced to separate. Then, although they are far apart, they strive to run towards each other.

After the first chorus ended, the song turned into a flute solo, and then the accompaniment began to join the string music. Professor Chen also added a track for them that day, using water droplet sound effects as drum beats, which sounded as if it was pushed up a level, but not too loud, which matched Lin Pin'er's ethereal voice very well and perfectly interpreted the adaptation of the song.

Shi Xiangyun was preparing at the bottom of the stage, she had already mixed in the first row. When Pin'er finished singing the last line, she squeezed to the edge of the stage and handed out a small bouquet of white jasmine flowers that she had prepared in advance.

"Moly, you are awesome. We love you!"

Lin Pin'er was moved the moment she saw the bouquet, and her eyes were filled with tears again, but when she heard her shout, Lin Pin'er burst into laughter again.

When Lin Pin'er leaned over to take the bouquet, Shi Xiangyun led everyone to scream, and the atmosphere in the venue instantly became particularly good.

Lin Pin'er held the microphone and cleverly said to Xiangyun in the audience: "Take care of your voice! Love you!" Then she and Li Shuirong bowed to the audience and left the stage.

The official performance began with a long section of playful and lively jazz music. This section was also written by Lin Pin'er, but she only wrote a small part to serve as a temporary transition for them.

The bands that took the stage afterwards were some famous bands in Beijing with their own unique music styles, covering a variety of music genres including light rock, rap, folk, funk, pop, jazz, punk, etc.

Shi Xiangyun's band was the third band to perform on stage. They first sang their original song, which had already been released and the company also agreed to let them promote the song live.
