Chapter 693 Rock and Roll Night


Next came the Hong Kong rock bands, starting with Tai Chi.

They played at home and were greeted with crazy screams from fans as soon as they took the stage.

There are not many people playing bands in Hong Kong, and the members of several bands overlapped in the early days.

Lei Youhui of the Tai Chi band formed a band with Liu Yida of Tat Ming's group, and another member Deng Jianming formed a band with brothers Wong Ka Kui and Wong Ka Keung.

This is the same as the rock band in Beijing. In the underground period, they all helped each other, and only after becoming commercialized did they have permanent members.

There are very few rock fans in Hong Kong, only a few thousand people. If a rock album is released, even if everyone buys it, the sales volume will only be a few thousand copies.

It's difficult to support yourself through rock music, so if you want to become famous by playing in a band in Hong Kong, you have to compromise with reality.

Both Tai Chi and Beyond have been commercialized for many years, and they have chosen to become more popular.

Tai Chi's songs sound good and inspirational, but compared with the previous bands, they always feel a little less shocking, and they don't sound that exciting when played live.

Despite this, the local music fans still showed their respect and roared loudly along with the band. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

When Beyond came on stage, the atmosphere became even more heated.

Yang Ye helped them tailor the movie "Broader Sea and Sky" last year, which packaged music with comedy and achieved good box office results.

In the movie, the song "Broad Sea and Sky" runs throughout, which is equivalent to using a blockbuster movie to make a super advertisement for a song.

Especially at the end of the movie, Wong Ka-kui sang "Boundless Sea and Sky" in the ruins without an audience, which was extremely infectious.

After the movie was released, the album originally titled "Joy and Fury" was renamed "Broader Seas and Sky" for sale. The sales exploded, making Beyond finally promoted to a first-line singer.

When he appeared on the stage at this moment, he was naturally very popular and his momentum was extraordinary. Tens of thousands of people roared like a tsunami, and he actually had the aura of dominating the world.

The three songs "Glory Years", "Broader Seas and Sky" and "Really Love You" were performed in one go, forming a chorus for the whole audience.

Li Binbin next to Yang Ye was infected by the atmosphere and sang along, but the pronunciation was a bit harsh.

Yang Ye didn't care. Li Binbin was not from Cantonese. Yang Ye sang like this in his previous life.

After singing three songs, the fans felt that they were not satisfied and refused to let them get off the stage and strongly demanded another song.

"One more song!"

"One more song!"

Gigi Gigi and Li Binbin also shouted loudly along with the crowd.

The fourth child took a look at where the organizer was. Zhang Yaorong from the celebrity acting company saw that the atmosphere was so lively, so he asked Qiu Litao, the on-site director, with his eyes.

Qiu Litao nodded, and Zhang Yaorong raised his hand and made an OK gesture.

Jiaju was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Uncle Rong, for "No More Hesitation"!"

This sentence is not only announcing the title of the song, but also seems to be praising Leslie Cheung.

In the sound of joyful music, the four sons sang together: "Boredom sees hesitation. It is not easy to achieve your ideal. Even if you have confidence, your fighting spirit is suppressed."

The whole audience immediately sang along: "Who decides whether I go or stay, decides the universe in my heart, I just want to rely on my hands to wave to my ideal..."

Beyond's songs are also very popular in the Mainland, and they are not only popular in the Cantonese-speaking area, but also in the north.

Seeing that the atmosphere was so lively, all the mainland players turned their attention to He Yong, and it was his turn to play.

People are divided by region and group, so they naturally hope that He Yong can win back the victory.

Dou Wei handed his cigarette to He Yong: "They are very awesome, Da Zhuang, don't let me lose a few points!"

He Yong snorted, took Dou Wei's cigarette, took a deep puff, and said, "I'll stun them to death!"

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and rushed out with his guitar in his arms.

The band is in place, the drums are beating, and the curtain is slowly raised.

He Yong picked up the guitar, jumped up and strummed the strings violently. With a "bang", the place immediately became excited.

This guy is wearing a blue and white sea soul shirt and a bright red scarf tied around his neck. The look is very funny.

The guitarist next to him, Deng Acura, has long flowing hair, wearing a white vest and black shorts. If you don't look carefully, you would think he is a girl.

The two of them jumped up and down on the stage and played the piano together, getting very excited.

Gigi Gigi and Li Binbin finally understood why Yang Ye said there was another young man with bipolar disorder. It turned out to be this guy.

He Yong's debut song is "Girl is Beautiful". The song is actually not very good, but he is very good at pretending to be cool and has various concave shapes on stage.

I saw him pointing at the audience, freezing the frame, and loudly saying: "Girls in Hong Kong, are you beautiful?"

There was a burst of response from the audience: "Beautiful!"

Mok Wenwei, in particular, shouted the loudest, and even Yang Ye couldn't help turning his head to look at her.

This girl grew up abroad. After returning to Hong Kong for so long, it was the first time she heard such an exciting rock scene and she was so excited.

He Yong screamed on the stage: "Girl, girl, you are beautiful. Police, police, you have a pistol..."

Karen Mok stood up from her chair, jumped up and down, raised her hands in the air and applauded desperately. She had already forgotten her last name.

You can tell me how good this guy sings. He is just running around and yelling on the stage, but everyone in the audience is very excited.

When it came to the second song "Garbage Dump", the atmosphere became even more exciting. Some people were so excited that they tore off their clothes and ran around naked with rags thrown around. They were quickly restrained by security personnel.

After that person made such a fuss, the atmosphere at the scene became even crazier.

Zhang Peiren later said that the person who ran streaking was Huang Qiusheng, but he was not.

Huang Qiusheng personally responded to this incident and also released photos of him at the scene. He was wearing a leather jacket and leather pants that could not be torn apart. There was another person running around naked.

Zhang Peiren said this for the sake of hype.

In addition, the four heavenly kings' expressions of admiration on the spot were also fake. They were not present at all. Others called them clowns, but they even came to support them. Isn't that mean?

Just when many in the audience had forgotten their last names, He Yong invited his biological father, Mr. He, and Dou Wei came on stage again with a flute.

Amidst the melodious sound of Dou Wei's flute and the ups and downs of Mr. He's three-stringed instrument, He Yong sang "The Bell and Drum Tower".

"My home is just inside the Second Ring Road. People here have so much time. They are chatting about whose family is good and bad, and they are watching what brand of cigarettes you take out. The hard-working people in the small restaurant are from other places. Fellow villagers, their expressions look like mine. They ride their bicycles on fallen leaves and watch the sunset disappear. They can no longer see the Yinding Bridge and the Western Mountain clearly..."

"This one is better!" Gigi said. "For the previous songs, I feel like my head is going to explode."

He Yong's previous songs were purely for venting. He stuffed European and American punk and metal into his own songs, swallowing them wholeheartedly without digesting them. In fact, they were just noise.

When it comes to the song "Bell and Drum Tower", it introduces the characteristics of northern folk songs. The melody is catchy and easy to sing, and it has become quite popular.

It feels like a once unruly punk boy. When he returns to the Bell and Drum Tower and is infected by its quiet and peaceful power, looking back on the past feels like a dream.

"The Bell and Drum Tower is inhaling the dust and smoke, letting you paint his face. Why can't I hear your voice? It's too noisy and chaotic now. You have been watching for such a long time. Why don't you speak anymore? Who asked the question? So difficult, there are correct answers everywhere.”

A few years later, when this young man with bipolar disorder was performing in Beijing, he shouted the name of a model worker in Beijing on the stage, "Are you beautiful?"

This act of committing suicide soon caused him to be banned and could no longer appear on the stage.

Later, he went crazy, burned down his family's house, and was admitted to a mental hospital for a time.

Decades later, most of his music has been ignored. Only this song "Bell and Drum Tower" has been handed down and is still being sung.

After singing the song, He Yong said in the melodious sound of the flute: "Thank you. For having the opportunity to perform in Hong Kong, we should be especially grateful to Jade Bird Music Group and Radio Television Hong Kong.

But what I want to thank most is Zhang Peiren and Jia Minshu of Moyan Culture. They have made a lot of contributions to Chinese pop music, and future history will prove this.

Friends, let us spend this wonderful night together, thank you for coming! ”

Before this guy came on stage, he harshly called the Four Heavenly Kings trash, but now he acted humble and polite, bowing deeply to all sides of the stage! ……

The Tang Dynasty Band was the last one to come on stage, and Ding Wu started chatting awkwardly: "Good evening, friends from Hong Kong!"

There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and then he stuttered: "I am very happy to have the opportunity to spend this rock and roll night with you. I hope that I can... make friends with you, make friends, and become a friend together. A flying bird ”

Their first song was "Flying Birds."

Ding Wu's words were stuttering, but drummer Zhao Nian's drums were really cool. The audience shouted along with the drums: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Ding Wu studied Qin Opera, and he combined Qin Opera with rock and roll. There is a desolate and exciting flavor in his singing.

When Zhang Peiren heard Ding Wu's song for the first time, he said to him: "You are not rock and roll. Your music is like a sharp knife that can penetrate people's hearts. I suggest you give this kind of music a name. It’s called Knife Song.”

There are many similarities between Qin Opera and rock music. Some people even call Qin Opera the "ancestor of rock music".

Zheng Jun once said: "In the whole of China, there is no music like Shaanxi Qinqiang, which is direct, bold, desolate, and shouting. Music in other places is more subtle."

Because of this, most of the rock singers in the 1990s came from Shaanxi, such as Ding Wu, Zhang Chu, Zheng Jun and Xu Wei...

In Shaanxi, there is also an "old tune". Wang Quanan once showed it in the movie "White Deer Plain". It is very exciting. After listening to it, I feel that all rock music is weak.

Later, Tan Weiwei adapted it into "Huayin Laoqiang Yishou", which was brought to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and became popular all over the country.

The Tang Dynasty Band ended with a song "The Internationale":

"Arise, hungry and cold slaves. Arise, suffering people all over the world! The blood in your heart is already boiling. We must fight for the truth..."

This is the most powerful song in the world. When its music is played, it can make countless people's blood boil.

When the proletariat of the world sings this song and takes to the streets, countless ruling classes will tremble.

Even in Hong Kong, a highly developed capitalist society, when Tang Dynasty sang "The Internationale" on the stage, many people still stood up, waved their fists, and sang along!

"The old world is in ruins. Slaves, get up, get up! Don't say we have nothing, we want to be the masters of the world!"

In the exciting music, Yang Ye also sang along, completely forgetting that he was now the capitalist who should hang the street lights.

This is the end of tonight's rock and roll night, and all the participating bands take the stage to thank the audience.

Zhang Peiren, the organizer of this event, took the microphone and expressed his gratitude to the musicians, the audience, especially the musicians in the front row.

The camera panned over the guest seats, all of them were familiar faces with thunderous names.

When it finally settled on Yang Ye, the whole audience screamed.

Zhang Peiren said: "Did we forget someone?"

"Forgot... there's a rock singer!"

He shouted, and everyone on and off the stage immediately shouted Yang Ye's name.

"Yang Ye! Yang Ye!"

Yang Ye has not sang for a long time, but on this occasion tonight, Yang Ye also stood up very cooperatively.

Under the spotlight, he turned around and waved to the audience, and there was another burst of warm cheers.

Amid the waves of cheers, Yang Ye jumped onto the stage with great agility, took the microphone from Zhang Peiren's hand, put it in place, stretched out his hands and clapped a few times.

Needless to say, the musicians on stage and the fans in the audience immediately cooperated closely and seamlessly.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"...Wewill, wewillrockyou!"

"Sing together!"

Yang Ye waved his hand, and tens of thousands of spectators immediately shouted: "Wewill, wewillrockyou!"

Neat applause and slogan-like chorus resounded over the Coliseum.

Although he has not been on stage for a long time, his powerful ability to control the field is beyond the reach of all the bands tonight.

He Yong, a young man with bipolar disorder, jumped up and down on the stage, trying his best to arouse the audience's emotions, but he couldn't do it with Yang Ye's gentle wave.

At the guest table, Karen Mok and Li Wen were sitting together. Li Wen jumped up excitedly, stood on the chair, and roared along with everyone.

After the song was finished, Karen Mok couldn't help but complain: "You just said I was crazy. I think you are crazier than me."

Li Wen stared at Yang Ye on the stage and said without looking back: "Can it be the same?"

"One more song! One more song!" The audience was still not satisfied and wanted to continue.

""Queen's Road East"!"

""Shameless"!"

Li Wen also followed suit, shouting: ""Nunchaku"! "Nunchaku"!"

Her voice was so high in decibels that it actually stood out among the noise.

What was even more unexpected was that there was actually someone carrying nunchucks at the scene.

"Go on!"

The man roared, took out his nunchucks and threw them towards the stage without fear of hitting anyone.

Fortunately, Yang Ye had quick eyes and quick hands. He ducked and took the nunchaku in his hand.

Seeing his agility, the audience cheered loudly.

Yang Ye said: "Don't throw things on the stage. What if you hit someone?"

Yang Ye is no longer a young man and does not want to jump up and down on the stage. He said: "Since everyone is so happy today, how about I sing a new song for everyone?"

"Wow!"

After the first "Voice of China", Yang Ye has never appeared on stage or released a song.

Even after releasing the first album for his four students, he rarely wrote songs for others.

After waiting for four years, I finally got a new song tonight?

"This song was written when I was doing BJ's before. It's called "One Night at BJ's" and I give it to everyone."

As soon as the title of the song came out, Dou Wei, He Yong and others felt that this guy did it on purpose.

We came all the way to have a Hong Kong night, and you jumped on the stage and sang some BJ all night?

Yang Ye asked Jia Kui to lend him his guitar and started playing and singing by himself. Ye Shirong quickly cooperated with him with drums.

"OneNightinBJ, I left behind a lot of love. Whether you love it or not, it is all the dust of history.

OneNightinBJ, I left a lot of feelings. I dare not ask for directions at midnight, for fear of walking deep into the flowers..."

This song incorporates Peking Opera singing into rock music, and is a model of the combination of Chinese and Western arts.

The lyrics are desolate and sad, and it seems that there is a touching story hidden behind the song.

It's just that Yang Ye's reputation is not very good. Everyone knows that he is an LSP.

When people listen to it, they feel that this must be Yang Ye's song to pick up girls.

Look at what these lyrics say, it leaves a lot of love in BJ, and it’s like being surrounded by hundreds of flowers. It’s really romantic.

But only locals like Dou Wei and He Yong knew that Baihua Depeng was actually the name of a place and an alley. (End of chapter)
