The crowd was actually a little agitated, and then Jing Xiaoqiang's slightly hoarse voice was heard.
It is still a mix of Mandarin and Cantonese, but this time the ratio is much higher, almost two-thirds to one.
Jing Xiaoqiang did not re-write the lyrics like Beyond did when they released their own Mandarin version, as he does not have the ability to do so.
Besides, his purpose is to help Beyond increase its publicity and increase its popularity in the mainland market in advance, rather than going to RB.
So it's probably easier to just use the original version.
Normally, songs about parents tend to be profound or even heavy, but this song is very warm and beautiful, and the lyrics are light-hearted and affectionate, close to life, without the kind of entanglement that makes one sing to death.
“A pair of hands that cannot be modified.
Bring out the warmth that is always behind you.
Even if it's nagging, I'll always pay attention.
I feel guilty for not knowing how to cherish..."
To be honest, in that era when songs about love were everywhere, Beyond, which often pursued depth in its songs, was really considered a fresh band.
Works that are too popular usually don't last long, and songs that are too rock are usually hard to accept.
It is not difficult to write a cool, profound and niche song. You can find a lot of such authors by looking through the history of music.
It is not difficult to write a vulgar and clichéd single that quickly becomes popular on the streets. There are countless such singers in every country.
However, it is difficult, very difficult, and extremely difficult to write a piece of music that is both pop and rock and can be sung for a long time.
The fact that "Really Love You" is still the preferred song for various Mother's Day celebrations over the past thirty years shows the power of this song.
One still has to understand the meaning of the lyrics to impress people. This was also the work he created after returning empty-handed from Pingjing.
After these two years, at least people in Shanghai can accept this kind of warm song with a rock flavor.
The entire dance hall was even quieter than before.
At the same time, it is also Jing Xiaoqiang's true feelings. In his previous life, he was willful and reckless, wandering around the world, and failed to take good care of his parents.
Now he is rushing to Shanghai, trying desperately to buy a few houses as a foundation. He doesn't have any extravagant desires or material demands. He just wants his parents to live a happier and easier life.
So he poured his emotions into it that the eyes under the Venetian mask closed involuntarily, as if telling of his longing for his parents and his guilt over the long years.
Who would have thought that after the song was finished, many people would leave: "I'm going back to see my mom..."
"I really miss my mom. Come back tomorrow, come back tomorrow!"
"Thank you for the great song. I suddenly feel like I owe my mom a lot. I'll go back and spend some time with her..."
But more people took the opportunity to squeeze in and followed the main crowd to make a fuss: "Also, also, the second song just now was obviously not this song!"
"Yes, yes, we heard the prelude, it's completely different!"
Some of those guys who were so moved that they wanted to go back to see their mothers suddenly turned back and asked: "Anything else? Any more songs?"
The entire dance hall was in a state of chaos, but it immediately quieted down after a few clear and melodious piano sounds that sounded like the beauty of a palace.
Jing Xiaoqiang put a lot of thought into the arrangement. Beyond was formed in 1983, and they signed contracts with underground bands and started to release albums in 1986. By 1993, when Huang Jiaju died in an accident, they had released a lot of works and more than a dozen albums.
Even if many rock bands are famous, it is usually good enough for them to have one or two hit songs in an album.
Many bands even rely on one album or one or two songs to make a living for their entire lives.
However, beyond can maintain five, six or even more songs in one album that are sung for many years in the middle and late stages.
This ratio is very shocking.
But it was indeed immature in the early days, and a large proportion of the songs failed to make it to the mainstream.
In this case, the song is definitely not popular enough.
Jing Xiaoqiang simply picked out those popular hits that he was familiar with from the albums that had already been released and put them together again.
And the more tender ones such as "I like you", "I really love you" and "Cold rainy night" are put in the front.
Sure enough, this actually first love song of Beyond, after being sung in Mandarin, immediately gained amazing resonance!
The street lights gradually brighten, they walk in the rain, look at each other silently, hug each other silently, the warmth is gone, only coldness remains, tears and rain, a bitter smile, the love ends, they don’t want to go home... It’s simply a romantic MV.
The lyrics have a superb visual effect and the visual effect is first-rate.
In addition, the melody is very outstanding and pleasant to listen to, making it sound silky smooth, flowing naturally and advancing layer by layer.
Almost everyone can feel the sadness when love conflicts with ideals.
The song starts with the sound of dripping rain, and there are not many ups and downs throughout the whole song. There is contradiction in the soothing feeling, and helplessness in the sadness.
It doesn't take much, just listen to it twice and you'll feel like singing along.
Last time, Jing Xiaoqiang tried singing in Cantonese in a dance hall, but no one could understand him. Who knows what emotions he was expressing?
Now it is easy to captivate the whole audience.
To the extent that Jing Xiaoqiang tried to reduce the proportion of Cantonese as much as possible. As for singing, his purpose was not to become famous himself, but to make these songs as popular as possible.
To be honest, without his strong foundation, he would have been forced to sing in Mandarin, and many of the ending sounds of the words would have been uncomfortable, and he had to rely on his hoarse singing voice to provide a smooth transition.
Just don’t change the words.
lazy.
Neither will I.
Even the manager of the dance hall was standing at the door and nodding frequently. He understood the consequences of Jing Xiaoqiang's insistence on covering this series of songs.
Use his unique singing voice to eat it!
Jing Xiaoqiang now had a clear idea in his mind, so he naturally cut off his mouth ruthlessly, sang and left.
The entire dance hall was still deeply immersed in that mood. After a moment of silence, everyone started to cheer after hearing the reactions of some individuals: "Do it again! Do it again..."
Then they all burst into laughter.
Because the long-legged girl who had been sitting at the back door beside the stage suddenly jumped up and stretched out her arms to block the door, with a smile on her face and puffed cheeks in a pleading manner: "Sing! Sing again, it sounds good!"
He then offered the cup of water: "Drink some to moisten your throat, it sounds good, I brewed a secret recipe..."
She has an exotic and dignified appearance with a touch of classical beauty. The jeans and bat shirt look fashionable and playful, and the two pigtails make her look more stubborn.
Everyone laughed when they saw it, even Uncle Cheng laughed along.
Who would feel uncomfortable looking at a beautiful woman?
Jing Xiaoqiang felt that he couldn't get away except by carrying the idiot away, so he just turned around and looked. The dancers in other directions quickly tightened the fences, making sure they were not allowed to leave until they sang.
I had no choice but to return to the stage: "This is the last time. I will only sing five songs every night, but these songs will probably be released on tape. I hope everyone will come and support me then."
The scene was really applauded...
Jing Xiaoqiang suddenly realized that this was just a small fan meeting.
When the tapes were released, this was the method used to spread them.
So after going on stage to sing Cold Rainy Night again, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he leaned against the door and listened to the musicians begin to play the three songs repeatedly, slowly pondering the details.
"Cold Rainy Night" is very popular, and one of its characteristics is the bass solo. Generally speaking, the bass is the background bass and rarely serves as the main melody, but this song was promoted by the bassist who wrote the lyrics, so the band also gave the bassist a very long solo period in the middle.
This solo has basically become a must-practice piece for domestic bassists in later generations.
Apart from some of the technical difficulties which can be used as exercises for beginners, it seems that those who cannot play this part are not competent enough.
However, the score he copied out skipped this part, because for a new song, it would be easy for the audience to lose their concentration if everyone had to listen to the bassist's solo for such a long time for no reason at all.
This is also a characteristic of musical choreography, which is to capture the audience's attention from beginning to end.
Don't miss the theme because of sentimentality.
But this part can be reflected in the tape, so he listened to it while simulating it with an unplugged bass.
This was his practice.
However, Lu Xi raised the SLR camera in her hand and took a picture quietly, capturing the back view that made her feel extremely at ease.
Then he just leaned there and grinned foolishly.
Even a fool can see that this fool only has eyes for this man.
Whether it is "I Like You" or "Cold Rainy Night", the rich emotional world seems to have strengthened her determination.
But how can such a star-chasing feeling become reality?
After ten o'clock, Jing Xiaoqiang finally nodded and turned to leave, and Lu Xi hesitated to speak.
Jing Xiaoqiang suppressed his pity, came out to discuss with the manager of the nightclub who was waiting, and left without looking back.
We can't let this fool remain immersed in illusions.
After sending Uncle Cheng off, on the way back to the hotel, Jing Xiaoqiang thought clearly that he would rent another house and not cook fitness meals in that kitchen anymore, and he had to completely cut off this connection.
If things really don't work out, he might as well give up the cosmetics business.
Such a good girl shouldn't be hurt in such a messy relationship.
But the reality is not so easy to separate.
After the weekend, Jing Xiaoqiang hurriedly rushed into the classroom with his lunch box and sat down. The seat next to him had already been reserved for Du Ruolan by his classmates.
Of course, no one was surprised when Pan Yunyan sat down on both sides.
But just as we were talking about yesterday's video recording, a teacher from the Academic Affairs Office poked his head out the door of the classroom and said, "Jing Xiaoqiang, Jing Xiaoqiang from 90 Dance Art? Come to the office."
Pan Yunyan smiled secretly: "Fortunately, I didn't answer for you today. Could it be that the gave you good news? She said yesterday that it would take some time before the broadcast."
Du Ruolan was more worried: "Did we offend Mr. Sun, the teacher of the professional course?"
It seems that they all know everything about Jing Xiaoqiang.
