Chapter 164 Top Configuration "Shanghai Beach"
The curtain on the stage was drawn and the lights dimmed.
The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is one of the top orchestras in China. All their performances are basically packed and tickets are hard to come by.
When the crew released the news, the entertainment industry was stunned. Brother, it's just a new song, why are you still cheating?
There is actually a contempt chain in the music industry. Guitarists look down on flute players, and piano players look down on guitars. The top of this contempt chain is the symphony orchestra.
For ordinary songs, it is good enough to have a few musicians. Some accompaniments are simply electronic sounds, which are just for listening.
For more formal ones, a band will be invited to play live accompaniment, which is more than a little better than ordinary accompaniment.
The top configuration is the symphony orchestra, with a team of hundreds of people playing accompaniment.
For example, the current scene.
Shanghai Grand Theater, the top symphony orchestra + the new queen Lin Wanqing + the composing genius Nuoyan, from venue equipment to personnel, the configuration is full, luxurious to extravagant.
Many people subconsciously compared the two songs with the popular song "Love Song of the West Sea".
Singers: Queen Lin Wanqing vs. unknown Lao Dao.
Composers: Master composer Nuoyan vs. newcomer Xiake.
Bands: Shanghai Symphony Orchestra vs. amateur ranger.
Venue: Shanghai Grand Theater vs. Gobi Tent.
The huge contrast has aroused great expectations for the comparison between the two songs, whether it is the audience or the live broadcast room.
On the stage, the curtain slowly opened, and in the middle was Lin Wanqing wearing a cheongsam, with her long legs particularly eye-catching.
On the stage, there was a group of people in formal suits, and a white-haired conductor with his back to the crowd.
"Fuck, what a big deal, the entire symphony orchestra is out!"
"The conductor is here too!"
"I never thought that I could listen to their performance on the live broadcast after not getting tickets for the symphony orchestra."
Many people in the live broadcast room came for the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and they were excited to see this.
The audience burst into applause, and the conductor turned around and bowed to the audience.
The symphony orchestra stood up and bowed and then sat back in their seats.
The violin, cello, drums, piano, trumpet, suona... almost all the instruments on the stage were included.
The conductor turned his back to the audience and saw that everyone was ready. He stretched out his hands, holding the baton in his right hand, and joined his hands.
Suddenly, he raised his left hand and waved the baton in his right hand in the air.
The next second, the magnificent music was in full force, shaking everyone's scalp numb.
Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!
The ultimate auditory enjoyment made the audience subconsciously hold their breath, for fear of disturbing the performance of the symphony orchestra.
In the live broadcast room, the barrage was crazy.
"Friendly reminder, you can breathe while listening to music."
"You should have said it earlier, I'm almost suffocating."
"It's shocking!"
"It's just a prelude, and the scene of the surging river appears in my mind."
"It's so grand, magnificent, passionate, heroic and generous."
"I'm a little worried whether Lin Wanqing can catch up. As far as I know, she has never worked with a symphony orchestra. This song starts so high. If she can't catch up, it will be a huge blow to her."
Not only the audience was worried, but Xu Nuo in the audience was also sweating.
The effect brought by the symphony is indeed extraordinary. If Lin Wanqing's voice is not heroic and unrestrained enough, she will be more likely to be suppressed and unable to raise her head. For her who is currently popular, once this happens, she will inevitably become the target of criticism from others.
The conductor's gestures slightly pressed down, the music slowed down a little, Lin Wanqing bowed slightly, raised her left hand, held the microphone and spoke.
"The waves are running, the waves are flowing...
The surging river water never stops,
It washes away all the things in the world,
It becomes a surging tide."
Using the surging river water to describe the luxurious Shanghai not only makes people feel the vitality of the Magic City, but also makes people feel the prosperity of the Magic City.
Lin Wanqing, who is wearing a cheongsam, and the huge symphony orchestra is also wearing suits and cheongsams today. When the music sounded, everyone suddenly traveled to that turbulent era.
The picture of the surging river water seemed to emerge in front of us, and the turbulent changes in the Magic City were vivid.
The opening knee series, except for the director Duan Qiuping and Xu Nuo, everyone else was stunned.
No one has ever known that Lin Wanqing can not only sing such a magnificent voice, but also sing in Cantonese, and she has never shown it before.
Everyone realized that their impression of Lin Wanqing was still too one-sided. The queen of love songs? No, no, no, this is obviously a misunderstanding of her.
Singing softly, bursting high notes, rich and unrestrained, it seems that there is nothing she can't handle.
Is the promise really so magical? Can you actually dig out all the characteristics of Lin Wanqing?
Many people present were moved. Freshness is the secret to their popularity, but how can everyone's style change so easily?
If Nuoyan has the ability to change others, then they will also have a chance.
For a while, many people looked at Xu Nuo and cast a kind look at him.
Xu Nuo looked puzzled. You guys just listen to the song, why are you looking at me suddenly?
The live broadcast room was even more lively.
"Fuck, Cantonese?"
"It's simply a treasure singer. What else can't she do?"
"Who said Lin Wanqing can't keep up? Stand up."
"Explosion, how can her voice be sometimes ethereal and sometimes magnificent?"
"I can't imagine how happy Nuoyan is."
"I'm jealous."
On the Bund, by the Huangpu River.
The clever street singer connected his phone to the speaker and opened the live broadcast room to play "Shanghai Beach".
In front of him was the surging river, and in his ears was the symphony accompaniment of "Shanghai Beach", which made him feel fully immersed.
It was even better than listening to this song in the Magic City Grand Theater.
There were many people watching the scenery by the river. Looking at the waves on the Huangpu River, they suddenly heard the majestic music, and everyone was attracted.
It was so vivid, the surging river water never stopped, and it was mixed into a surging tide.
The music became soothing, with a little sadness, and Lin Wanqing's voice continued to come out.
"Is it joy or sorrow?
I can't tell laughter and sorrow in the waves,
success or failure,
I can't tell what's going on in the waves."
The sadness and joy of life, right and wrong, success and failure, were rolled up by the waves, mixed into a ball, and rushed away with the surging river.
I can't tell joy or sorrow, and I can't see joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
In the Magic City Theater, the conductor resisted the urge to look back at Lin Wanqing.
He was actually reluctant to take this job. First, the time was too short, and second, he had extremely high requirements for songs. Ordinary songs would not be in the eyes of the orchestra.
Symphony accompaniment is not something that can be coordinated with all songs. If the singer's strength is not good, he still has to adjust the rhythm.
The key is that they don't even have time to practice together. If someone from above hadn't come to find them, they wouldn't show up today.
They have to listen to official instructions no matter how awesome they are.
When Lin Wanqing spoke, the conductor listened with his ears perked up, ready to adjust the rhythm according to Lin Wanqing's performance at any time.
What he and everyone else didn't expect was that Lin Wanqing's voice was not suppressed by the music at all, but showed extremely strong penetration.
The coordination with the majestic music was perfect, and the conductor was also excited and stopped suppressing the rhythm.
He raised his hands upwards, and the drums suddenly became urgent, and the sound suddenly increased.
Lin Wanqing also raised her voice, and the human voice and the sound of the instrument were perfectly intertwined. She began to sing the most emotional part.
"Love you and hate you, do you know?
Like a river that never stops flowing."
These two sentences, "Is it love or hate, do you know?", resonated strongly with the audience.
Love, hate, and hatred, cannot be commented on, especially the sentence "Do you know?"
It can be called a soul question, which makes everyone silent and causes countless people who have experienced pain in their relationships to feel sad.
Grudges, love, hate, and hatred, are like the surging river, which will never return.
"Turning thousands of bends and turning thousands of beaches, the struggle has not been resolved."
Just this one sentence seems to tell the ups and downs of life, and the endless open and secret struggles.
The wind is surging, the disputes are endless, and the entanglement of love and hate is even more grudges.
Life is full of helplessness. After going around in circles, no one's life is smooth sailing. Even the river water will crash on the beach and bleed.
Although it has gone through thousands of difficulties and obstacles, turned thousands of bends, and stepped on thousands of beaches, it still cannot find a harbor where it can be safely docked.
This is Shanghai, which is full of crises and dangers, and it is also a tidal flat full of opportunities and challenges.
The voice became low, and Lin Wanqing stretched out her voice, singing out the turbulent struggles on the beach of Shanghai and the deep tenderness of men and women.
"There are joys and sorrows,
Even if I can't distinguish between laughter and sorrow,
I still want to turn over thousands of waves,
It's enough in my heart."
At the end of the first paragraph, everyone in the Magic City Grand Theater was as quiet as a chicken, intoxicated by the music.
On the Bund, more and more people gathered around the street performers.
Everyone looked excited, enjoying the beautiful scenery and listening to beautiful and moving music. The greatest enjoyment in life is nothing more than this.
"Love you and hate you, ask you if you know?
Like a big river that can't be stopped,
Turning thousands of bends, turning thousands of beaches,
It has not calmed down the struggle here."
"I still want to turn over thousands of waves,
It's enough in my heart."
Lin Wanqing finished singing, the music gradually stopped, and the applause from the scene sounded like thunder, and it lasted for a long time.
Lin Wanqing bowed to the audience with graceful gestures, and after responding to the audience, she bowed to the orchestra.
The white-haired conductor turned around to return the greeting, and all the orchestra members stood up and bowed.
The applause rang out again, but this time it lasted longer.
The song cleansed everyone's soul, and the audience wanted to clap their hands off.
On the Bund, everyone was applauding, screaming, and cheering, making the street artist feel a little dizzy.
But he knew that the applause was not for him, but for the Magic City Symphony Orchestra and Lin Wanqing.
The music ended, and the street artist simply sang live.
Although many people don't understand Cantonese, it doesn't prevent them from liking this song. Classic music can touch people's hearts without lyrics.
In the live broadcast room, "Shocking!" filled the entire screen.
A song made everyone who listened to it feel excited and their scalps tingled. The charm of music was infinitely magnified under various luxurious configurations.
