Chapter 845 Amazing Performance
There was a lot of voices.
Whether it is a Chinese fan or a foreign fan who came from thousands of miles away, the four beauties bands should be the most familiar performers you have seen at the opening ceremony of this World Cup.
Even though every foreign fan and fan is seeing them in real life for the first time, this can't stop their excitement for the appearance of the four beauties.
Five people stepped onto the stage and stood still.
The applause and all kinds of shouts have not stopped, but the four beauties did not speak.
This is obviously not my own concert, and I can communicate and have dialogues with the audience at will.
The music starts.
There were a lot of binoculars in the auditorium, but the audience in front of the TV didn't have to work so hard, because the TV picture only stayed on Li Qian who was holding the microphone stand and bowed his head for a moment, and then it was quickly transferred to Wang Huaiyu—Chinese audiences are fairly familiar with it. Wang Huaiyu is an all-rounder in the Four Great Beauties, and he is very good at all kinds of musical instruments in China and the West.
At this moment, he was beating an unknown musical instrument, the sound was very clear and... very familiar.
Accompanied by his tapping, the small bell in Liao Liao's hand was shaking very rhythmically.
It's like a camel bell.
Many viewers, especially domestic audiences, immediately realized that this was the prelude to "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty".
Soon, Cao Zhan's Besche came in.
The applause and shouts of the audience finally began to fade away.
Everyone turned their attention to the center of the stage.
Especially fans like Isabel and others, they were trembling with excitement at this moment.
This is a bass show that was unanimously regarded as a classic by music circles in both the East and the West after the album "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" was released all over the world and sold all over the world!
High-pitched, passionate.
Standing on the stage of the opening ceremony of the World Cup at this moment, Cao Zhan closed his eyes tightly, his body swayed and swayed slightly, biting his lip, and the bass in his hand was also swayed and swayed.
As a result, such a bass prelude, which has been known to fans all over the world until today, resounded through the "Blue and White Porcelain" stadium with more than 80,000 people.
At the same time, with the help of television signals, it was delivered to more than one billion or even two billion people around the world.
At the climax, the bass stops abruptly.
The rhythm shakes.
Wang Huaiyu played another musical instrument that everyone didn't know well.
Drum into.
Liao Liao also devoted himself wholeheartedly.
Bass in.
Electric guitars join in.
The camera cuts back to Li Qian's body - a familiar camera cut. In the recent concerts of the Four Great Beauties, they once performed this work at Shuntian Station and Nanjing Station. At that time, Huaxia TV's The on-site director cut the shots like this.
Li Qian raised his head, expressionless——
"Chrysanthemum ancient sword and wine,
Being soaked in coffee into the noisy pavilion,
Alien races worship the moon of the ancients at the Temple of Sun,
Kaiyuan prosperity is fascinating!
The wind can't blow away the long-lasting hatred,
Flowers, impermeable to family hatred,
Snow cannot reflect mountains and rivers,
The moon cannot fulfill an ancient dream.
Fate is branded along the palm lines,
Sober up tonight without dreams,
Follow fate into myth,
Back to the Tang Dynasty in the dream. "
…………
There were four touring performances in the previous month. Not long ago, he had a short ten-day rest, and in the first two or three days, he conducted several serious and completely formal rehearsals. All these made Li Qian's The state of performance is at its peak since he came to this time and space.
A stadium with more than 80,000 people, the world's top live audio equipment after refitting, coupled with the excellent performance status of the entire band, and Li Qian's top performance, and then, there is such a song that seems natural It was born for the scene, and only on the spot can it achieve its own maximum energy and maximum appeal, a heavy metal rock song full of oriental charm and oriental humanistic color!
All these factors came together, and the result was that at this moment, the entire National Stadium was completely enveloped by the performance of the four beauties, Li Qian's voice, and this song!
After rock music was introduced to China, Chinese people also love it very much, but Chinese people seem to prefer the lyrical and humanistic part of rock music. Light rock, pop rock, and even slow rock have masterpieces that have been spread all over the streets and alleys in China. Among them, the early rock force headed by the Flying Band, some of Liao Liao's early works, and many works of the Four Great Beauties since their debut, all belong to this category.
But heavy metal music, even in the West, is not the mainstream of rock music. In China, few people can do it well, and gradually, even few people do it well.
But I have to admit that once done well, the charm and energy of heavy metal rock, especially the shocking power during live performances, are unmatched by other rock styles!
Rock is already a heavy weapon among various genres of pan-pop music, and metal rock is even more powerful among the amazingly powerful heavy weapons!
To promote Chinese culture to the outside world, whether it is making Chinese movies or making Chinese music, Li Qian has always been careful—from the eight Chinese songs that were stuffed into the two albums he made for Liao Liao to the four major songs. The three Chinese works that were stuffed into the last album of the Beauty Band were all passed through his mind countless times, and they were finally selected after repeated analysis, thinking, and entanglement.
It can be said that a total of 11 Chinese-language works that have been promoted to the world before and after this have some common characteristics, that is, they must not only accurately and beautifully show the beauty and characteristics of Chinese culture and the Chinese language itself, but also have A certain global aesthetic taste.
For example, Liao Liao's "Heaven" is a song that has been highly respected and loved by Western music circles and fans in Europe and America since the album was released until today.
The simple but strong, strong but clear praise of hometown, homeland and prairie, although the lyrics are simple, the tune is mellow and affectionate, which not only has the traditional characteristics of Chinese music, but also can make non-Chinese-speaking cultural circles fans The style that is immediately pleasing to the ear is an important reason why the song is still regarded as a masterpiece of Liao Liao's non-English songs by the Western music scene.
Of course, the expressiveness of Liao Liao's expansive, unrestrained and sometimes delicate voice at that time was also the most important thing-it goes without saying.
And "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", in the album of the Four Beauties, is extremely important.
One is that it is directly the title of the album used when it was released in all Chinese-speaking countries, and the other is that among all the three Chinese songs in this album, it is considered by Li Qian to be the most popular in Europe and the United States. A work of idiosyncrasy accepted by the fans there.
It can be regarded as the breakthrough of the Chinese songs of the four beauties in Europe and America!
Facts have proved that with the help of popular songs such as "The-Cup-of-life" and "We-will-rock-you", and also with the help of the World Cup, "The-Cup- The album "of-life" quickly became popular, and the three Chinese works in the album have also gained a certain degree of popularity, popularity, and even popularity in a small range in Europe and the United States.
Among them, the one with the best performance, the best reputation, the widest dissemination, and the highest popularity is indeed this oriental masterpiece of heavy metal rock - "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty"!
Foreigners definitely don’t understand the lyrics. Although you can compare them with the translation in the lyrics book, the translation between Chinese and foreign countries, especially the lyrics full of oriental connotations, if you don’t have your own understanding of ancient Chinese culture , just based on the literal meaning, it is difficult for foreign fans to understand the meaning contained in the lyrics of this song.
But it does not matter!
Just this melody, just this very distinctive singing voice, just this kind of atmospheric style, as a rare heavy metal masterpiece, it is enough to impress western fans.
Even a young fan like Isabel does not have an excessive love for heavy metal, but at least, when listening to the CD, she can feel the temperament and charm conveyed by the whole song, which makes her love such a heavy metal song. Rock and roll, there is absolutely no feeling of disgust.
For a girl in her early twenties who has always lived in a clean state of mind, this kind of "not annoying" is already very rare!
There will even be many western fans, just because they like this song, they will start to be interested in Eastern culture, Chinese culture and Chinese characters based on the English explanation written by Li Qian himself in the lyrics book, and start to be interested in Chinese characters. Chinese culture, history and civilization, some amateur study.
What is spreading Chinese culture, this is it!
Just like in China, where there are not many Christians, everyone takes Westerners’ belief in God for granted. It’s the same—this is after two or three hundred years dominated by Western culture, the entire Western cultural and social system , aesthetic views, and the brainwashing of cultures formed by people from other parts of the world.
But now, for a rock masterpiece like "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", if you say that it has begun to brainwash Western fans, it is obviously too optimistic and overestimates the energy of a song, but at least, This is a very good start!
Therefore, because of the unique oriental temperament of this song, it has achieved a very high popularity, popularity and recognition in the Western music scene, making this song the most well-known band of the Four Beauties in the world. A Chinese work by .
The audience in front of the TV does not need to say, even for the tens of thousands of fans and fans who came from abroad at the scene at this time, this song is no stranger.
Of course, listening to the scene is definitely the first time!
And as I said before, this song is the kind of work that absolutely explodes on the spot!
At the moment when the song started to sing, Li Qian's expressionless cool look, and his emotional singing, coupled with the excellent arrangement of the song itself, and the passionate singing of the four beauties on the spot The performance made the first verse after the beginning, and all the fans at the scene were shocked by it!
Especially in the last line of this passage, the high-pitched voice that mixes true and false sounds with certain Beijing opera reciting skills, "Back to the Tang Dynasty in a dream", soaring directly into the sky, countless people at the scene couldn't help it Ji Lingling shuddered!
At this moment, there was a feeling that Tianling Gai was pierced by the singing!
The whole body was electrified, and the hairs stood up!
…………
"The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,
Men farming and women weaving silk are busy along the road,
The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,
Wuhua Tianbao is outstanding.
The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,
The fragrance of paper and ink are flying all over the river,
The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,
Heroes are heroic and bright. "
…………
Well!
Explode directly!
That feeling of scalp numbness, that feeling of being electrified all over the body makes people subconsciously tighten their throats and make them shiver uncontrollably!
Then, one after another, the audience stared wide-eyed at the stage in the middle of the stadium, which they could not see clearly, and looked at the calm and passionate singer on the stage!
Appearing on the full-body close-up of the TV screen, he was wearing an extremely clean white shirt with ironed edges, a pair of regular jeans on his lower body, and a pair of frosted leather shoes on his feet. With short hair, holding the microphone stand with both hands, holding his head up slightly, he has a handsome appearance and a clean temperament. But at this moment, because of his hard-working singing, his complexion looked pale with a tinge of redness, and the veins on his neck would suddenly pop up because of a certain movement...
A calm yet passionate singer.
…………
"The bright moon cannot be reflected in the cup tonight,
Neon flickering dance and peace,
Because of the tone-deaf story,
Singing dully no one loses anything,
Fate is branded along the palm lines,
I wake up without wine tonight,
Follow fate into myth,
Back to the Tang Dynasty in my dream! "
…………
The camera pans across the auditorium.
At this moment, countless people's expressions were tense, and they were extremely excited and excited.
Whether Chinese or foreigners.
To be honest, although this song has been widely circulated in the western world in the past three or four months, I have the time, energy, and love enough, so I am willing to delve into the meaning and meaning behind this song. Fans who are even willing to study Chinese culture for it are a small group of people after all, and more ordinary fans, even if they like this Chinese rock song, it is basically impossible to do in-depth research.
In other words, in fact, among the tens of thousands of foreign fans present, even if more than half of them have heard this song, it is estimated that there will not be so many who like this song, but those who like this song Songs, and those who have deliberately done in-depth understanding, are even rarer.
What's more, at least half of the foreigners, even though they have heard and liked this song, have never understood the lyrics or what is being sung in the song until now!
But it's okay!
The charm of music is revealed precisely at this time!
There are lyrics, a melody, and an arrangement. It is music, but there are no lyrics, or even an arrangement. There is only a humming that does not understand the meaning of the words at all, and it is still music!
Good music is good music!
At this time, the Chinese audience on the scene and in front of the TV and the audience who are proficient in Chinese can appreciate the complete appearance, complete spiritual connotation and unique temperament of the whole song, but even those who do not understand Chinese or understand Li Qian What are the foreign fans who are singing, at this moment, they will also be shocked by such a song, such a shocking and amazing performance!
So, at this time, when Li Qian soared the high note for the third time in the performance of this song, that kind of high note that blends the high note of Ga and the style of reciting Bai, which is full of oriental Peking opera, such a sentence "Back in the dream" Tang Dynasty", directly brought the atmosphere to the climax!
At this moment, the COSCO lens that appeared on the TV and swept across the audience clearly showed the whole process and the whole picture of the audience's excitement to the point of madness!
Starting from a middle-aged foreign fan at a certain second, one after another, one after another, all the fans in the audience stood up spontaneously!
Some people are yelling something with clenched fists, some people are shaking their heads, jumping, jumping like crazy!
But more people subconsciously stretched out their arms and bowed towards the center of the court!
Like a pilgrimage!
…………
The screen cuts back, and on the TV screen, Li Qian's face was flushed because of excitement, and there was an indescribable excitement and excitement in his expression. At this moment, he opened his arms——
"Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan,
Friends all over the world are gluey,
The horizon is infinite and the world is wide,
There are tens of thousands of buildings in Ande Guangsha. "
…………
bass.
Cao Zhan, who was wearing a hat, closed his eyes at this moment, his body was shaking wildly, crazy and agitated.
Another bass show!
…………
After the TV screen gave him a close-up of the popular uncle known as Asia's number one bass player for seven or eight seconds, he cut the screen back to the auditorium again.
Because at this moment, the well-informed TV director knows very well that the crazy crowd, the dancing crowd, and the worshiping crowd in the auditorium are the most appreciative of such a song and such an astonishing performance. Great review, and best compliments!
Such a Chinese song can make countless foreigners who don't understand Chinese pay homage to the audience. The scene like this is even more shocking than the performance itself!
"Fate is branded along the palm lines,
I wake up without wine tonight,
Follow fate into myth,
Back to the Tang Dynasty in my dream!
The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,
The fragrance of paper and ink are flying all over the river,
The bright moon is reflected in the cup tonight,
Heroes are heroic and bright.
Fate is branded along the palm lines,
Sober up tonight without dreams,
Follow fate into myth,
Back to the Tang Dynasty in my dream! "
…………
Agitation! Excitement! intense!
At this moment, there is no need to deliberately capture it, because the auditorium of more than 80,000 people is full, and more than 70% of the people can't help but stand up.
At least more than half of the people couldn't help but pay their respects to the stage in the center of the stadium!
And the live footage of Huaxia TV, at this moment, accurately conveyed the scene that was happening in the auditorium to the whole world.
At this moment, it seems that the whole world has temporarily stopped functioning.
It seems that the whole world is full of agitation!
At this moment, the opening ceremony of the World Cup in China, 2002.
We dream back to the Tang Dynasty!
***
It's hot, and my heart is hot. Writing this chapter, even though the air conditioner was blowing, I still broke out in a lot of sweat. After finishing writing, I was almost half-stretched.
If nothing else, in the peaceful and prosperous age, we have returned to the Tang Dynasty!
Because of this song, the excitement brought about by this song, Dao Yigeng sincerely asks you for another monthly pass!
