Chapter 11 The Legendary Man
Jing Xiaoqiang didn’t know that Zhou Di would become extremely popular in mainland China more than 20 years later.
It's like this rare genius.
However, with Zhou Qingyun in charge, the new song show in the evening had a more academic atmosphere.
Because Zhou Qingyun strongly requested Jing Xiaoqiang to change his clothes before singing again. How could he wear this greasy floral shirt and beach pants that hadn't been washed in days? Was this unworthy of such a good voice?
Jing Xiaoqiang made excuses: Tomorrow, he will be in charge of the class for the drunk Alex at the West City Theater. When he is hiding in the orchestra pit conducting his own independent band, he will be wearing the same clothes.
Zhou Qingyun glared at the band members and got angry: "He's still a child, it's normal for him not to know the rules, don't you understand either?! Hurry up and find some clothes from the band!"
Except for the principal, everyone is basically a top student of Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Even if they are working, they are still afraid to face such a leader at the department head level. They hold back their laughter and sneak away to rummage through clothes in the prop room. One meter eighty is enough, right?
The child is big enough.
Then I forced Jing Xiaoqiang to put the cover on him and told him not to work in the afternoon. Let's practice this new song first. We're rehearsing with the orchestra. It doesn't matter which song we practice.
So the dancers who rushed to buy tickets to get in at night, or to be more precise, the audience, were shocked as soon as they stepped in!
The entire symphony orchestra
There wasn't much room left on the dance floor!
Their expressions were all very serious, as they were concentrating on flipping through the music scores that had just been copied in front of them.
The conductor was thinking more seriously about how to make this new piece of music stand out.
So scared.
The audience had no choice but to move inside along the wall, still feeling excited.
Two dollars is worth it even if it's just to listen to the symphony.
But the main thing is to speculate whether there will be a new song, because Jing Xiaoqiang was seen wearing a swallowtail dress and acting pretentiously on the stage.
Many people just want to laugh.
As long as you have seen him wearing a floral shirt, beach shorts and flip flops before, he looks so funny now in comparison, and he even wears a bow tie!
Many girls were whispering and pointing at each other.
Jing Xiaoqiang was actually asking the orchestra to sit as close together as possible to make room on the dance floor, as this was the business of the nightclub manager, who needed to earn money from ticket sales.
In fact, the manager kept saying it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, anything is fine!
He merely contracted the orchestra's venue and hired a few people to perform part-time, so he never dared to mess with the orchestra's bigwigs.
In the afternoon, even the band leader and music director came to watch.
Zhou Qingyun frowned even more. How could such a good voice be heard in such a cramped place?
But seeing Jing Xiaoqiang waving and greeting some regular customers with a smile on his face, almost bowing his head, it seems that this is music that should reach the masses?
So she didn't say anything.
As soon as six o'clock arrived, the orchestra started playing on time. This was mainly because after the afternoon rehearsal, everyone was a little excited and wanted to see what the song would sound like in front of the audience.
So basically I was reluctant to leave work on time and was ready to call it a day after just one integration.
So Jing Xiaoqiang became the legendary man in the history of Shanghai dance halls.
Who has ever seen a symphony orchestra singing to the accompaniment in the Shanghai Ballroom?
The piano started, and the violin gradually came in. Just this prelude made all the audience hold their breath...
Why do audio enthusiasts often use the sound field of an orchestra to analyze the grade of equipment? A symphony orchestra is basically the highest level presentation of human-made music. Every instrument and every sound performed is the result of thousands of years of accumulation.
Of course there are experts who can play beautiful music with very simple equipment, but the vast majority of small bands, both in terms of instruments and skills, are nothing compared to such a big scene.
No matter what kind of band you have heard before, you will be impressed by this fully armed band!
But when Jing Xiaoqiang grabbed the microphone and started singing in his tuxedo, the accompaniment was still the accompaniment after all...
The orchestra's music performance immediately becomes the background for the vocals.
The long and slightly hoarse singing voice is like an electric iron, ironing the soul and making it smooth!
And it’s the kind with steam function, so it’s not hot, but gentle and comfortable.
The adjective used in later generations is: Su.
Such a sweet voice that can melt your heart.
Some of them can understand English, even better!
Look into my eyes and you will see what you mean to me;
Find your heart, find your soul...
This song has become the pinnacle of love songs around the world, with its melody, rhythm and lyrics, and is complemented by such a sweet singing voice.
The lethality can be imagined.
The girls looked at the focused man on the stage, their faces blushing and eyes sparkling!
The men were surprisingly nonchalant.
Originally, there were quite a lot of old snakes who came to the dance hall just to flirt. There were more wolves than girls, especially the beautiful girls, who would often attract many people to invite them.
But at this moment, the girls are not here to flirt, they are here to be moved and attracted, and it would be a real spoiler if anyone interrupts their appreciation.
There was no sound inside or outside the rehearsal hall, and all the air vibrations were contributed to the orchestra and Jing Xiaoqiang.
Jing Xiaoqiang was in good condition too. He kept his eyes closed throughout the whole process as if paying tribute to the beauties from all over the world that he had met before.
This song is the theme song of a movie, and it is easy to form a sense of the picture after watching and listening to it.
The legendary identity of a chivalrous thief like Robin Hood and his love, hatred and passion with women are intertwined in those legends and epics.
Let him get intoxicated easily.
So it’s absolutely full of emotion, and real feelings are poured into the singing.
For Jing Xiaoqiang, it was no less than a love-making process between a man and a woman, just like he was facing the affectionate confession of a beautiful woman.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw pairs of tender eyes, as if they were all saying I want...
As a singer, does it feel good for him to PUA the whole audience?
The musicians are happy too.
To be honest, as members of a symphony orchestra, you are all high-brow and high-brow, facing the audience either in a well-educated theater or at various evening parties.
But most of the time it's easy to face a bunch of blank stares or sleepy-eyed gift tickets.
This is in Shanghai, where the cultural level is generally high.
These days even solving the problem of food and clothing is put first.
The level of the dance hall is not high, but at least most of the people who come here love singing and dancing. It’s just that due to their education level, they cannot be exposed to high-level music.
Therefore, the musical cells of this audience group are more popular than those they have been exposed to before.
The sight of people being attracted and intoxicated by popular music made them feel the same way. As Jing Xiaoqiang said, isn't this what music means when it enters the hearts of the people?
The so-called lingering in the beams three feet long is to describe the current feeling.
The singing and music gradually faded away, but it seemed that the feeling was still lingering in my heart and would not go away for a long time.
After several seconds, Zhou Qingyun clapped again: "Good! You could have held back a little more when changing the tone. The first part was good, but in the second part, you might have wanted to exaggerate the deep affection and deliberately dragged it out a bit. It's unnecessary. It would have been superfluous if you dragged it out any further!"
This is insight. A good teacher may not be able to sing the Queen of the Night's aria, but she can impart guidance on how to do better.
At this point, Jing Xiaoqiang no longer needed any guidance on techniques; instead, he understood the artistic feelings immediately.
Hmmm, nod.
He turned and bowed to the entire orchestra.
The orchestra also applauded and thanked him.
A heartfelt rendition of thanking each other.
Then it led to applause from the audience, who followed suit as if they had just woken up from a dream!
The excitement was so intense that my palms turned red. Those who came later and only heard half of the song almost cried. Is there any more? !
Huang Xuerong and her sisters were a little late because singing usually starts around 6:30 to 7:00, and they rushed over after get off work.
I was so anxious that tears came out, but I was also happy because I knew that Jing Xiaoqiang had another song that was liked by many people.
happy!
Jing Xiaoqiang saw his friends, who were his work colleagues in his mind, and smiled and reminded the band members: "It's time for you to get off work. You should go home to cook and pick up the kids. How about another try?"
I had some mischievous thoughts in my mind. I wanted to clean up the rental house this afternoon, and you interrupted me to rehearse...
As a result, the musicians were reminded one after another, and the married women immediately woke up from the trance of the music, jumped up one after another and said, "Yes, yes, let's quickly return to the real life of firewood, rice, oil and salt."
More than half of the band disappeared from behind the stage!
For the orchestra, it was still the planned economy era, and the day after get off work was the most important.
The audience was a little dumbfounded by the thunderous applause.
Zhou Qingyun was helpless.
But Jing Xiaoqiang took off his suit and took the bass from the jazz band that was already in place. He turned to everyone and said, "So... I'm giving you this movie theme song "I Do it for You" from Citi in a different way. I hope you like it. Friends who like dancing can also try it..."
The result was screaming!
The girls screamed one after another!
Then I watched a tall girl come on stage, which was even crazier!
Professor Zhou simply sighed and said, "What kind of environment is this? It's so hard for you to sing here, kid."
