Chapter 289 "Broad Sea and Sky" appears
On the stage, Xu Nuo said into the microphone: "This "Broad Sea and Sky" is for everyone present and also for the audience in front of the TV. I hope everyone will never give up in their hearts. The ideal."
The third song of "New Era", Xu Nuo chose Beyond's classic song "Broad Sea and Sky".
Among Cantonese songs, this song ranks among the top in popularity in history.
However, this song was not well received when it was first released.
On May 26, 1993, "Broader Sea and Sky" was officially released. However, at the beginning, this song was almost drowned in industrialized saliva songs.
At that time, most stars became famous by singing covers and arrangements of Japanese songs, and no one cared about their original songs.
The album "Joy and Fury" that contains this song was given a low score by magazines. "Broad Sea and Sky" received average results, and almost no media mentioned this song.
Beyond, on the other hand, lost to Grasshopper in the Best Group Award for six consecutive years.
Wong Ka Kui also said frustratedly: "Hong Kong only has the entertainment industry, not the music scene."
Wong Ka Kui, who was disappointed with the Hong Kong music scene, chose to go to Japan to expand the market. However, life in a foreign country was not easy either. After fed up with the cold looks and ridicule, Wong Ka Kui wrote the song "Broad Sea and Sky".
What is sad is that on the 29th day after the release of "Broader Sea and Sky", 31-year-old Wong Ka Kui unfortunately fell off the stage and died 6 days later.
The life of this talented singer came to an abrupt end, and "Broad Sea and Sky" became his swan song.
After the accident in Ka Kui, various radio stations in Hong Kong unanimously chose to broadcast "Better Seas and Sky".
After Ka Kui left, as long as there are many people, this song will definitely create cohesion and become a song that unites everyone.
Since its debut 31 years ago, "Boundless Sea and Sky" has never fallen off the altar. No matter where we are, as soon as its melody sounds, it always makes people feel the urge to burst into tears.
Due to the huge impact of this song, the comments on the Internet can be said to be overwhelming. However, these comments are full of comparisons, insults, self-deprecation, mutual insults, blind exaggeration and malicious belittling.
The music industry has become a fandom. It doesn’t matter whether the music is good or not, but who sings it is important.
This is probably one of the reasons why Ka Kui said, "Hong Kong only has the entertainment industry, not the music scene."
Many people don’t love music as much as they say, they just like celebrities.
When Ka Kui was alive, all Beyond members only sang "Broader Seas and Sky" twice, which was a pity for the entire music industry.
Such a song, even in Blue Star, should be known to everyone, so I promised to reproduce "Broad Sea and Sky" on the stage of the finals.
Even the look is the same as when Ka Kui sang "The Years of the Tigers" at the Contact Life concert.
This is a tribute.
At the same time, it is also an encouragement to everyone. "Broader Sea and Sky" is naturally suitable to appear on a stage like competition.
The camera shows a close-up of Promise, with her muscle lines looming under the light, exuding strength and passion.
The whole person exudes the aura of male hormones.
The applause, whistles and cheers at the scene could not subside for a long time.
The sleepiness of the audience in the live broadcast room was immediately driven away, and everyone became energetic.
“Can the director mark the pants so that they look more interesting?”
"Exposed on stage"
"I want to see it."
"Brother, give me a license plate."
"Fuck, you are really perverted!"
The women in the live broadcast room were very excited, and the men were the most excited.
At the same time, Xu Nuo's appearance was also posted online.
#surprise! The famous singer reveals her clothes in public on stage!
When the scene finally became quiet, Xu Nuo snapped his fingers and the lights dimmed, giving people a sense of loneliness.
The prelude is played on the piano, the starting key is not high, the rhythm is very slow, concise and powerful.
The three people stood separately on the stage, and Xu Nuo stood in the middle.
But the more it played, the lower it became, and the more it played, the heavier it became. It was obviously a hot summer day, but there was an inexplicable feeling of desolation caused by the cold wind.
After just a few notes, the accompaniment almost disappeared, and the listener's mood became low and empty.
At this moment, the promised song sounded:
“Today, I watched the snow drifting by in the cold night,
I floated far away with a cooled heart,
>
Chasing in the wind and rain,
I can’t tell the traces in the fog,
The sky is vast and the sea is vast for you and me,
Can it change (who is not changing)”
The harmony part was sung by Shen Kaiwen.
Everyone was shocked when he opened his mouth, it was actually in Cantonese.
This is the first time Xu Nuo has shown that he can speak Cantonese.
Cantonese songs have long developed into a genre in the Chinese music scene. Among the most classic and popular songs, "Broad Sea and Sky" has a place. The only song that can be compared with this song is "Shanghai Beach" Waiting for a few songs.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know Cantonese. It doesn’t affect everyone’s ability to sing Cantonese songs, especially this song “Broad Sea and Sky”. Even if you don’t know how to sing, you can still hum a few lines.
“What! Promise can speak Cantonese?!”
"Isn't he from Jiangcheng?"
"Beautiful boy, is it strange that I, a Northeasterner, can also speak a few words?"
"What a surprise, this is the first time Nuoyan has sung in Cantonese. Let’s sing, is there anything else he can’t do?”
Nowadays, few people compose Cantonese songs. On the one hand, Cantonese pronunciation is very difficult, and the pronunciation must be standard, and it is even more difficult to master six tones and nine tones. To make things even more difficult, on the other hand, many people are too harsh on Cantonese songs. This harshness is not on the music, but on the singer's speech.
So now fewer and fewer people sing in Cantonese.
The audience was shocked, especially those from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions.
“This pronunciation is very standard.”
“As a Jiangcheng native, it’s shocking enough that he can distinguish l from n, in from ing, and he can also sing Cantonese, which I don’t think of. I thought of it."
"Treasure Singer, right?"
Someone suddenly thought, "By the way, Lin Wanqing also sang "Shanghai Beach" before, could it be her? Taught?”
"How to teach? Mouth-to-mouth teaching?"
"Tell me more about mouth-to-mouth."
The barrage in the live broadcast room gradually went off track, and the style of the painting became more and more crooked.
Xu Nuo spoke in Cantonese, which really surprised everyone.
What is even more surprising are the singers in the port area. The sense of crisis in their hearts is getting stronger and stronger. Cantonese songs are already their last moat. If this is broken by others, they will still have a place. land?
Everyone is surprised that the third song of "New Era" is actually a Cantonese song, and also surprised by how exciting this song is.
It is obviously a midsummer night, but with just a few lines, this song seems to transport everyone to a cold winter snowy night, where everyone will change after feeling disheartened, sleepy, windy and snowy, and bruised all over.
At this time, the rhythm of the piano on the stage changed, from being vague to nothing, and the two accents were struck repeatedly, firmly and full of power.
The voice of the promise is also thicker, and the steps of moving forward with difficulty are moving forward firmly on the windy and snowy night.
“How many times,
Enduring the cold looks and ridicule,
never gave up on the ideal in my heart.
A moment of trance, a feeling of loss,
Unconsciously it has faded,
Love in my heart (Who understands me)"
The lyrics displayed on the big screen moved everyone, the slow and heavy piano, a little lonely and desolate.
On the stage, the string orchestra did not move Like a mountain, there are only the sounds of piano and three singers, lonely instruments, and lonely singers.
In the camera, the eyes of the students in the background were a little red. The same goes for Xia Qi who won the championship.
Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou on the stage even had tears in their eyes.
On the road to chasing their dreams, they have experienced countless cold looks and ridicules.
What Shen Kevin hears most is: "You should give up as soon as possible, no one will like you."
"It is much better to find a class than to have unrealistic dreams. ”
He has also seen many people who have the same dream as him, and then under pressure, give up sadly and return to mediocrity.
Who understands me? Shen Kaiwen glanced at Xu Nuo and Yu Zhou on the stage.
If it weren’t for this shirtless man singing, he might really not be able to bear it.
When Shen Kaiwen looked over, he happened to see Yu Zhou across Xu Nuo.
The two people's eyes met, and everything was unspoken.
Suffering brothers, even the situation is the same.
On the road to chasing their dreams, fortunately they met Xu Nuo, a man who single-handedly made them famous.
The audience is also sympathetic. Many people have wandered and endured hardships for their ideals. The road to pursuing their ideals is long and arduous.
And "Broader Sea and Sky" vividly expresses the struggle of this kind of frustrated person in life and the desire for ideals.
The audience has lost count of the number of times they have heard songs about dreams on stage tonight, but they are not tired of it at all.
Just like that graduation ceremony, they listened to ten graduation songs in a row and felt that they still had more to learn.
Everyone has great patience for good songs.
They listened to the song quietly, and Nuoyan's singing voice was still gentle, delicate and full of boldness and uninhibitedness.
Up to this point, the overall feeling of the song is low and depressing, but everyone knows that the chorus will definitely be more exciting.
Because until now, the string orchestra on the stage has not made any movements, which is not normal.
This fully armed string orchestra cannot be just a decoration, nor is it in line with the style of the promise.
The piano slowly and powerfully plays a cold and intriguing melody, and in the atmosphere of loneliness and pain, the chorus is sung.
“Forgive me for my unruly indulgence and love of freedom in this life,
I will also be afraid that one day I will fall~oh~no,
I have abandoned my ideal,
Anyone can do it,
Even if I am afraid that one day it will be just you and me~"
The string orchestra still did not make any movements, and there was only a roar of promise on the stage, but in this atmosphere it was more like a mournful cry.
都You can bite those three words very hard, and your voice is a little hoarse, as if you are hoarse.
The words "Forgive me for being uninhibited and uninhibited and loving freedom in this life" are like a heavy hammer, hitting the audience hard.
It doesn’t matter if you are not understood, it doesn’t matter if thousands of people laugh at you, as long as one person is willing to support you, it is worth it.
For the singer on the stage, even if there is only one person listening to him singing, even if there is only one person who understands him best, it is still worth it.
The first half of the song ends with the promise of a slightly hoarse roar.
Everyone seems to have seen an inspirational story. A person who has experienced sorrow and hesitation, experienced pain and struggle, is indomitable in the face of difficulties, pursues ideals and strives for self-improvement is standing on the stage.
The lively performance on stage makes people feel the urge to burst into tears.
While the audience was deeply immersed in this emotion, the music suddenly became quiet, and the song dropped from high to low in an instant.
This leaves everyone wondering what the second half will be like.
Duplicate? Or are there new changes?
Intuition tells them that the second half will not be a simple repetition.
Because the instruments on their bodies have not moved yet, the string orchestra waiting on the stage remains motionless.
On the stage, the piano accompaniment almost disappeared. In the first 1 minute and 44 seconds of the song, there was only the sound of the piano, which seemed extremely lonely.
In fact, the original name of this song was "Piano Song". In this song, Ka Kui changed the previous guitar-based accompaniment and chose to use piano to cut in, which is completely different from previous songs such as "Glory Days".
The sound of the piano disappears, and silence is better than sound at this time.
The next moment, the string orchestra finally moved, the exciting drum set sounded, and the audience was excited.
Amidst the passionate drumbeats, Xu Nuo spoke.
It's still repetitive lyrics, but everyone's feelings are completely different from the first half. If the first half is unwilling and roaring, then the second half is high-spirited and uplifting.
The audience couldn't help but sing along. There were 80,000 people. They came from all over the world. Their pronunciation was different and it was not standard Cantonese at all, but their feelings were the same.
At this moment, the audience from the Cantonese-speaking area was very tolerant.
"Today, I am watching the snow drift by in the cold night~"
Everyone sang together, and some audience members who didn't know how to sing simply hummed instead of the lyrics.
But it doesn’t matter, the atmosphere is here, and no one will laugh at it.
"Still free myself,
Sing my song forever,
Travel thousands of miles~
Forgive me for my unruly indulgence and love of freedom in this life,
I will too I’m afraid I’ll fall down one day~oh~no,
Abandoning the ideal,
Anyone can do it,
Even if I am afraid that one day it will be just you and me~”
All the instruments were spread out at once, the magnificent music, the momentum Majestic, the music seems to be surging and stirring on the stage, each beat is more determined, and each beat is stronger.
The difficulties and twists, loneliness and hesitation, not only did not crush the people on the stage. , but burst out with more powerful power
Everyone thought of a sentence: Everything that can't defeat me will only make me stronger.
At the end of the song, there is a chorus of three people. In this song, Xu Nuo is the lead singer, Shen Kaiwen is responsible for the harmony, and the last is a chorus of three people.
The song's momentum reaches its peak, majestic and unstoppable, as if it wants to crush all the frustrations and hesitations and throw them away into the sky.
Many people at the scene had tears in their eyes.
On the stage, Xu Nuo finally picked up the guitar that had been hanging on his body for more than four minutes and played a one-minute guitar solo.
The shrill, choked sound of the piano is exactly like the cry of a lonely goose. This is Huang Guanzhong's 1996 performance, known as the "crying guitar."
A one-minute guitar solo, very few people play like this. It's the privilege of a genius, and ordinary people will definitely be scolded by the audience if they play like this.
This is the end of the hearty "Sea, Sky and Sky".
