Chapter 455: "Dusk" I Don't Know Where the Pain Is Even with Ibuprofen
"The King of Masked Singer" is becoming more and more popular, and many viewers who have not paid much attention to the show are also attracted by the popularity online.
Guo Jianhua is on fire.
The majestic king invited the queen to help sing, but he lost so much that he lost his pants.
This has become a laughing stock.
"Hey, Guo Jianhua actually lost? Who is the Great Sage?"
"Go and take a look."
"Are you so powerful that you can defeat Guo Jianhua without revealing your face?"
In the past, Guo Jianhua used "The King of Masked Singer" to market it every day, and it became very popular. Now the program team is using him to market it, and every drink and peck is a sure thing.
Guo Jianhua was extremely angry, but he had no good solution.
Countless people are staring at the television.
The final round of the finals is about to begin.
"I think the Great Sage can win!"
"He Xiuyuan has more advantages."
"Don't underestimate Chen Zhiqiu and Shen Kevin!"
"With the support of the promise, Chen Zhiqiu and Shen Kaiwen will kill the gods when they meet the gods."
"How come no one mentions Xiao Yuan with the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon?"
"To put it bluntly, if the Great Sage hadn't wanted to eliminate the Dragon Crossing the River, Xiao Yuan would have gone home and slept by now."
In the last round of the "Total Singer Competition", it was obviously a competition between five people, but Xiao Yuan seemed to be the superfluous person, with a very low sense of presence.
Among the remaining four people, one is the popular king, and one can kill Guo Jianhua before even revealing his face. He can be called the biggest topic maker since the show was broadcast. The other two also have gimmicks, such as "fighting against each other", "comeback battle" and "justifying their name". war".
Only Xiao Yuan has no gimmicks.
Those without gimmicks suffer the most.
Amidst the intense music, Qi Tian presided over the draw on the stage. In the last round of the competition, for the sake of fairness, the five people drew lots to determine the order.
Kevin Shen No. 1.
Xiao Yuan No. 2.
Chen Zhiqiu No. 3.
He Xiuyuan No. 4.
Monkey King No. 5.
Everyone was satisfied with the draw result.
Shen Kaiwen began to prepare, while other singers, including the supporting singers, all sat at the guest seats.
In the final battle, the program team wants to increase attention, and the singing guests need exposure, getting the best of both worlds.
Except for two people who didn't reveal their faces.
"The Great Sage should be revealed, right?"
"It's hard to say. I don't think Sunset has any intention of revealing his face."
"Should we not reveal our faces and win the championship?"
"That's really outrageous."
The audience was talking a lot, and Kevin Shen was ready to take the stage.
New songs, Shen Kaiwen will definitely sing new songs, everyone is looking forward to it.
Sure enough, the song information was displayed on the big screen.
【dusk】
【Lyrics: Promise】
【Composer: Promise】
"Dusk" was released in 2000 and caused almost no splash in Taiwan. However, in mainland China, pirated copies of "Dusk" can be purchased in almost every video store.
Zhou Chuanxiong, who had already retreated behind the scenes, discovered that so many people liked his song. It was this song that saved his career as a singer that he had already given up.
"Dusk" also dominated the major music charts from 2002 to 2004.
Starting in 2004, Zhou Chuanxiong returned to the stage as a singer.
On the stage, the prelude sounded, a sad and sad melody, and the piano seemed to have a hint of sadness.
Shen Kaiwen finally spoke:
"After the whole summer,
The sadness is not better,
Driving on an endless road,
There is a feeling of leaving oneself. "
As soon as I opened my mouth, poignancy, melancholy, and sadness came over me.
"That's the smell!" Zhao Lei slapped his thigh excitedly.
"This hoarse, bitter grainy texture is Kevin Shen's unique skill!"
Everyone at the guest table was very excited.
Zhao Lei seemed to have unintentionally said to Xu Nuo: "Promise does have two brushes. On this occasion, Shen Kaiwen can give full play to his characteristics and maybe he can win the championship."
Xu Nuo glanced at him and agreed with him, while Lin Wanqing snickered on the side.
The audience was excited.
"I would like to call Kevin Shen the king of bitter love songs!"
"The smell is too strong!"
"It seems to be hurting out of nowhere."
Pain is the first feeling of the audience.
It seems that I really saw summer passing, and my sadness became more intense.
"I can't finish a song,
Tiredness still leaves dark circles under the eyes,
In the emotional world, hurt is inevitable.
No matter how beautiful the dusk is, it will eventually be dark. "
The stage effect matches the music very well, the lighting changes from a dazzling sunset to a purple-red sunset on the big screen.
The lights gradually dimmed along with the singing, and the setting sun sank little by little on the big screen.
The lyrics full of fatalism immersed the audience in it.
Beauty is always fleeting, and so are feelings.
It is inevitable to be hurt in relationships. No matter how beautiful the dusk is, it will eventually be dark.
The whole atmosphere became sad.
Kevin Shen held the microphone and sang the chorus in a clear and bitter voice.
"I still remember that the words of goodbye from your mouth are as firm as iron,
There is an illusion that the scorching sun is burning in the darkness.
dusk horizon,
Draw a parting sentence,
Love enters the eternal night. "
His voice gradually lowered, and the stage gradually darkened.
After dusk comes night, the sun has disappeared, and Kevin Shen's voice advances into the distance in the darkness.
"I still remember the heartbroken tears falling from your eyes,
There is an illusion of burning tears in the chaos,
dusk horizon,
Cut off happiness and joy,
Love has become disillusioned. "
To everyone's surprise, the second chorus has the same melody as the first.
It is rare to repeat the melody completely and only change the lyrics, and this melody is very simple.
Songs with overly repetitive and extremely simple music have a common name - pop songs.
If they are well written, they are classics, but if they are not well written, they will fall into clichés and will definitely be labeled as pop songs.
Li Zhengyi smacked his lips: "Amazing, they played chords like 1563456 in a fancy way. I have a hunch that the chorus and the main part of this song will be repeated a lot."
Xu Nuo was shocked. Good guy, he is worthy of being a master. He guessed all of them after listening to half of it.
This song "Dusk" is indeed as Li Zhengyi said. The melody of the whole song is simple and repeated throughout. The melody is simple and catchy, and people can remember it at once.
The chorus and the main song both repeat the melody, which is a brainwashing way to deepen the impression. The audience immediately remembered the sentence pattern "I still remember it from your mouth".
The electric guitar added to the piano music at this time has a heartbreaking effect.
The stage is still dark, and Kevin Shen is standing there with only an outline.
This stage is actually more suitable for him because no one can see his face clearly.
Just looking at the outline and listening to the voice, everyone thinks that the person singing on the stage must be a handsome guy with a melancholy face. He may not be that handsome, but he must be very affectionate and melancholy.
"Great, I suggest Kevin Shen use this kind of looming stage effect in the future."
"It's amazing, I actually think Kevin Shen is so handsome."
"Without the mask and the lights, Kevin Shen is still so handsome."
The audience's sense of substitution has increased several times.
"This electric guitar is simply the finishing touch." Li Zhengyi praised it.
The accompaniment of "Twilight" is mainly piano, with a large number of minor chords, plus the electric guitar, which makes the song have a strong sense of picture.
Even if you can't see the stage clearly, you don't need to read the lyrics to feel the figure swallowed by the darkness under the sunset.
Inexplicable loneliness and desolation.
The second part of the song begins.
"I can't finish a song,
I'm tired and still have dark circles under my eyes,
In the world of emotions, hurt is inevitable,
No matter how beautiful the dusk is, it will eventually turn into night."
Li Zhengyi smiled proudly: "I guessed it right, right!"
"Great!" Zhao Lei cooperated and gave a thumbs up, stole a glance at Xu Nuo, and raised the corners of his mouth.
The magic of "Dusk" is that the audience can remember not only the climax of the chorus, but also the main song.
The general pop songs are usually circulated on the Internet with just two sentences, which sound good. When everyone is attracted to listen to the whole song, everyone finds that there are only two good sentences.
But "Dusk" is different. It is brainwashing, but not vulgar or low-level, and each section is amazing.
How simple is the melody? The audience can usually sing the latter part after listening to it.
The confident audience at the scene began to hum along with the rhythm.
This is the magic of simple melody.
At the end of the song, the chorus part of "Still remember..." was repeated four times.
"Dusk" is a typical bitter love song, and with Shen Kaiwen's bitter voice, he sang the bitterness and the desolate bitterness to the extreme.
No matter what song it is, it can resonate after it is done to the extreme, and bitterness to the extreme can also form a resonance.
The audience only felt that the bitterness spread from their ears to their mouths and then to their hearts.
It was more bitter than eating bitter gall.
The live broadcast room was full of audiences complaining.
"It's too bitter."
"I need a little sweetness to ease it."
"Not only bitter, but also painful."
"Damn Shen Kaiwen, you hurt me! Tonight is another sleepless night."
"I feel the pain of being abandoned by the whole world."
"Are there any painkillers? Give me one."
"Ibuprofen for sale in the front row."
"It's useless. Even Ibuprofen doesn't know where Shen Kaiwen hurts."
"I suggest that Ibuprofen ask Shen Kaiwen to be the spokesperson."
"Fuck, business wizard, Ibuprofen godfather Shen Kaiwen."
The audience in the live broadcast room sent barrages crazily, because it was already the end of the song.
A one-minute-long outro.
Li Zhengyi shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I sometimes use such a long outro, but I don't dare to use it often because I'm likely to be scolded. However, there are already two songs with particularly long outro today. The outro of "Earth" and "Dusk" are both quite long."
Xu Nuo's heart tightened. Did Li Zhengyi see something?
Zhao Lei was watching the fun and didn't mind making trouble. "Tell me what the reason is?"
Xu Nuo was silent.
Li Zhengyi smacked his lips: "Maybe the Monkey King is also a fan of Nuoyan."
"Tsk, boring." Zhao Lei turned his face away.
The lights came on and the song ended with applause.
Shen Kaiwen bowed to express his gratitude.
Zhao Lei commented: "Excellent composition, atmospheric lyrics, and your slightly hoarse voice, these elements come together, and the sad song king Shen Kaiwen is back again!"
Li Zhengyi praised: "I have a feeling that this song will be a big hit."
Huo Shanchuan said: "Shen Kaiwen who sings sad songs is the peak Shen Kaiwen."
Lu Hualin said faintly: "Dim the stage lights, perfectly avoid the shortcomings and show the advantages, it is simply a genius idea."
Shen Kaiwen came down and sat in the guest seat.
