Chapter 485 "A Journey on a Mountain Road"
The next guest to come on stage was another guest.
Good things should be savored bit by bit.
Having both Kevin Shen and Yu Zhou on stage at once can indeed increase the ratings in a short period of time, but after they are used up, it will inevitably decline.
Yu Zhou was placed in the position of the last guest.
After the other two guests came on stage one by one, Yu Zhou finally came on stage amid the cheers of the audience.
The host smiled and said, "Yu Zhou, I heard that you fought for this opportunity. Can you tell us what happened?"
Before Yu Zhou answered, Kevin Shen, who was sitting next to him, snorted heavily.
The audience saw that there was a story! They immediately became excited.
"Kevin, come on, tell me, is there any inside story?"
Kevin Shen said, "Originally, I was the guest invited by the program team this time."
"There is such a thing?" The judges also started gossiping.
"What happened later?"
"Later, the boss wrote a song for me, which is "Actually Nothing." Kevin Shen said and glanced at Yu Zhou.
"I'm happy when there's a new song."
Yu Zhou picked up the microphone and continued, "Are you happy? You're clearly here to show off, so how can I stand this!"
The audience laughed.
"We all understand what happened next. Yu Zhou found Nuo Yan again, and then they each sang a song."
"It's just like people competing for favor in the harem."
"Shock! There's intrigue within Fanxing, and the singers are fighting fiercely!"
Shen Kaiwen said indignantly, "I just wanted to share my joy with him, maybe I was a little proud, but he didn't like it."
"So you each sang a song?"
"That's right."
They both nodded at the same time.
The judges couldn't help laughing, and sighed that they were really lucky to have the most talented thigh in the entertainment industry.
The contestants were speechless. Whose artist would have a new song as soon as he cried? If it was so easy to get a new song, they would want to cry every day.
Let alone crying, it's not impossible to recommend yourself.
The stadium with tens of thousands of people was very lively.
This season of "The Strongest Love Song King" continued the previous tradition, and the finals were held in the stadium.
The venue was almost full, and the top audience felt like they were watching a B-ultrasound.
But even so, this did not stop their enthusiasm.
Yu Zhou received a cheer before he started singing.
In the jealous eyes of the crowd, Yu Zhou picked up the microphone: "This song is for everyone who is on the road."
The audience was looking forward to it. Every time Yu Zhou sang a song, it was the kind of song that was particularly heartfelt.
Warm, inspiring, and the more you listen, the better it sounds.
The song information was displayed on the screen.
[A Journey on the Mountain Road]
[Lyrics: Nuoyan]
[Composition: Nuoyan]
[Singer: Yu Zhou]
"A Journey on the Mountain Road" is from Mao Buyi's "Xiao Wang". On a certain platform, this is also a song with millions of collections and hundreds of thousands of comments.
And recently, because of the Olympics, this song has been suddenly mentioned again.
Using this song to give to the contestants is indeed a good choice.
Yu Zhou looked at the densely packed audience below the stage and the contestants who were waiting for the battle, and slowly spoke.
"Whose dream is left on the bluestone?
An autumn rain drops flowers on the ground.
Travelers are hurrying on their way,
Visiting people in all seasons."
The song is slow, low-pitched, slow, and low-voice, which is in line with Yu Zhou's usual style.
The audience was amazed. The lyrics of this song are more ancient, which is very different from the simple and heart-wrenching lyrics before.
"Is Yu Zhou going to change his style?"
"I think this is a good thing. Keeping the same style all the time can get boring sometimes."
"That's right, as long as you don't lose your own characteristics."
The imagery in the lyrics is indeed what ancient songs like to use.
The song continues.
"Just like the sky broke the outline of the distant mountains last night,
I remember that we forgot to say a long time ago,
After a leaf twists and turns, there is another bumpy road,
I can't get out and can't see through it."
The judges also nodded. Although a lot of ancient imagery is used, the combination of this imagery easily reminds people of the misty Jiangnan water town.
The biggest difference between gorgeous lyrics and lyrics with a lot of words is the scene after the combination of images.
Many singers pile up words in their heads when writing songs, and even don't look at the meaning of the words at all.
These images are a bit confusing, even nonsense, and it's even more funny to delve into them.
But this song is very good. Once the images are combined, everyone knows what it is singing.
The lyrics are gorgeous, but easy to understand.
The audience is happy to listen, but the judges are sighing that Nuoyan is awesome.
Without changing the easy-to-understand characteristics that Yu Zhou relies on to become famous, he can actually change him to a gorgeous ancient style.
Several judges looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
"I want to join Fanxing!"
Unfortunately, they have no way.
Yu Zhou held the microphone with both hands and sang softly.
"The mist in the valley kisses the haze,
How many love words are hidden under the dead leaves,
The returning bird that flies across the sky,
It doesn't ask you and doesn't answer you."
Not all lyrics have to be heartbreaking, and not all emotions have to make people cry. Different occasions should have different songs to express emotions.
"A Journey on the Mountain Road" is such a song with some poetry, which gently provokes the audience with light thoughts.
When singing, the lyrics also fully pay attention to the blank space of emotions, especially "The returning bird that cuts through the sky, it doesn't ask you and doesn't answer", leaving a lot of room for imagination.
What is the question? What is the answer?
Or, some things will only be told to the destined people.
This light emotion infected everyone, and the audience gently waved their light sticks left and right, expressing their support for Yu Zhou in this quiet but direct way.
Yu Zhou looked at the tens of thousands of audiences below the stage and waved his hand in response. He continued to sing while holding the microphone.
"Just like the outline of the distant mountains was broken by the skylight last night,
I remembered that we forgot to say it a long time ago,
After a leaf twists and turns, there is another bumpy road,
I can't get out and see through it."
This beautifully written lyrics is repeated. When listening to it for the second time, some contestants and judges finally tasted the taste of it.
First of all, the word "zhapo" is rarely used in modern Chinese, and it is only used in ancient poetry.
The more famous one is "the silver bottle is broken and the water is bursting", but here it is "the sky breaks the outline of the distant mountains", the predicate of the adverbial modifier taking the object, the usage is very amazing.
And "a leaf twists and turns" is also a common technique in ancient poetry, deliberately adjusting the usage of quantifiers to highlight the purpose of twists and turns.
The song is ethereal and beautiful, as if a landscape painting of Jiangnan is unfolding in front of everyone.
The contestants and guests are all applauding for the wonderful song.
But the most exciting part of the song has not been sung yet.
Yu Zhou held the microphone with both hands and sang the last part, which is also the most poetic part of the whole song.
"The gurgling water finally passed through the mountains,
It seems that you are still persistent after many years."
Li Bai has a poem: The light boat has passed thousands of mountains.
At that time, he had just been demoted to Baidi City, but not long after, he received an imperial edict from the court and set off for Jiangling.
Originally thought to be a huge setback, those difficult-to-climb mountains were left behind the boat little by little.
Mountains and rivers are so dense that there seems to be no way out, but there is another village with willows and flowers.
In the last scene of "Chang'an 30,000 Miles", Li Bai lay on the boat and shouted "The light boat has passed through thousands of mountains", and everything has gone with the wind.
This sentence has moved and encouraged countless people for thousands of years.
When Yu Zhou sang "The gurgling water finally passed through the mountains", the judges were shocked.
The audience applauded spontaneously.
Li Bai's poems have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are naturally classics among classics.
Although no one dares to say that this lyric can compete with Li Bai, it is a superior work in terms of artistic conception and wording.
It is not as high-spirited as Li Bai, but it has a sense of tranquility.
Good or bad, it will all pass, everything will return to calm, and it will make people suddenly enlightened.
Chicken blood can really inspire people, but sometimes people don't need to be so excited, they just hope to calm down.
"Has Baiyun also heard your story?
Laughing at you and me,
Has Baiyun also heard your story?
Laughing at you and me."
Yu Zhou bowed slightly and greeted the audience.
"A Journey on the Mountain Road" ended just like that.
The audience felt that they hadn't heard enough, and the song had ended. After a few seconds of stunned silence, applause broke out at the scene.
The applause was like a wave, spreading from the front row to the back, and then from the back back to the front row.
Yu Zhou stood there quietly, and he felt that he seemed to have fallen in love with such a stage.
He sang quietly on the stage, and tens of thousands of audiences listened to the song quietly. If he sang well, everyone would spontaneously applaud.
The audience in the live broadcast room hadn't heard enough, and immediately began to search for video recording clips.
"It's nice. It sounds a bit plain at first, but isn't that what life is like?"
"Another way of saying 'the boat has passed through thousands of mountains.'
"Yu Zhou is still such a warm person."
"If you ask me, the real awesome person is Nuoyan. He wrote all these songs."
"Today is basically Nuoyan's lead singer. Kevin Shen and Yu Zhou are singing on the same stage, and Phoenix is competing for the championship."
"It's a pity that Nuoyan didn't come, otherwise the ticket would be worth it."
But everyone can understand that although Nuoyan has been in the industry for a short time, his status is rising every day. If he is really invited, the show will probably become his home court.
This show seems to be a little unworthy of his popularity.
The guests are invited to add more highlights. In addition to heating up the venue, the effect has long exceeded expectations.
The finals officially began.
Amid the cheers of the audience, the contestants took the stage one by one.
When Phoenix came on stage, the scene burst into the warmest applause.
The camera scanned and captured the audience holding the Phoenix Band banner, and netizens were a little suspicious whether they had seen it wrong.
Because many of the people holding the banners were quite old, they were already elderly audience members.
