Chapter 296: Rock and roll, the whole audience was excited!
On the stage, Zhang Wei strummed the electric guitar in his hand, looking like a rock boy.
Actually, he doesn’t have to actually play, he just has to pretend, after all, there is a whole accompaniment team behind him.
"The shaking red wine glass, the lips seem to be stained with blood, the unusual beauty, the unforgivable sin, who follows loyally is at best a guard, with roses under his feet, returning a kiss as comfort, pitiful ..."
Zhang Wei tried his best to imitate Jam Hsiao and started his own singing.
At the judges' table in the audience, several judges showed surprised expressions at the same time. They were not only surprised that Zhang Wei could write rock songs, but they were also surprised by the style of this song "Princess".
"It's hard rock! This kind of rock is rare nowadays." One of the judges said softly.
“No, this should be considered metal rock, right?” said another judge.
“But it sounds like pop rock to me!” The third judge gave a different opinion.
Three people, three opinions, that only shows that their understanding of rock is not deep enough. So the three of them unanimously turned their attention to Teacher Wang Feng.
When it comes to rock and roll, no one on the scene can compare to Teacher Wang Feng.
However, at this time, Teacher Wang Feng looked at Zhang Wei seriously. The solemnity in his eyes meant that he was obviously listening to Zhang Wei's music carefully.
“The night is so beautiful, no matter how dangerous it is, there are always people who stay up all night with dark eyes. Love is so beautiful, no matter how dangerous it is, I am willing to pay for all the overspending and thousands of tears.
The pain is too beautiful, no matter how painful it is, No matter how humble I am, I still want to taste the taste of being broken into pieces. You are so beautiful. No matter how speechless I am, I want to block the world with a pile of rocks. My princess, I want to occupy your beauty!"
As the song enters! At the climax, Wang Feng's mouth opened slightly, showing a surprised expression.
Obviously, Teacher Wang Feng did not expect that he could hear such a rock song.
On the stage, the lights began to flash with the rhythm of the music. After half the song, the audience was already familiar with the rhythm of the song. At this time, the power of rock music finally gradually emerged.
The sound of the electric guitar was surging like a volcanic eruption. Every note was like a spark igniting the air, and the surrounding audience began to become excited and fanatical.
The body swayed involuntarily with the ups and downs of the melody, as if being pulled by an invisible force. Every cell was dancing to the rhythm of the music, and the entire venue was filled with boiling power.
At this moment, everyone was deeply attracted by the charm of rock and roll, completely immersed in this musical feast, forgetting the constraints of reality, leaving only pure passion and freedom.
This is a metaphorical artistic appeal that transcends the boundaries of language and form and goes straight to the core of the soul. This kind of appeal comes from music and rock. It can easily awaken the passion and dreams deep in people's hearts, and inadvertently fuse people with music.
This scene seemed to have affected the judges' table, and even Teacher Wang Feng couldn't help but sway to the music.
In the background, the directors and presenters of the program were also nodding along with the beat of the music. There was a kind of Tang Bohu singing, "My family lives on the edge of the city in Suzhou. I have a house and a field at home, and my life is... "Boundless joy", the four fragrances of spring, summer, autumn and winter and Mrs. Hua's sense of sight.
Such passionate rock and roll, such a lively scene, almost everyone in the entire studio was deeply affected.
The only thing that is different is the program planning.
Facing the live audience who have been ignited by rock, the judges who have fallen into rock, and the colleagues who are swaying to the beat of the music, no matter how stupid the program planner is, they can understand that Zhang Wei sang another good song.
"Didn't it mean that he can only write lyrical love songs! Didn't it mean that his style is completely incompatible with rock and roll! Didn't it mean that he must not be able to sing rock and roll!"
Program planning Full of frustration, the program team had already begun to formulate unfavorable rules tailored to Zhang Wei, but unexpectedly it had no effect at all.
“Now we can only place our hope on the 31 public judges!” the planner thought to himself.
……
After Zhang Wei finished singing "Princess", the cheers at the scene could not stop for a long time. Everyone was still immersed in rock and roll and could not extricate themselves for a long time.
But Teacher Wang Feng on the judges' bench couldn't help but stood up, raised his hands in the air and started applauding Zhang Wei.
The director immediately cut the camera to Teacher Wang Feng. If nothing else, the program effect was definitely full.
Teacher Wang Feng took the initiative to pick up the microphone before the other judges could speak.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei was ready to talk about his dream, but teacher Wang Feng did not ask "What is your dream?"
Teacher Wang Feng commented: "I didn't expect that among young singers, there would be someone who understands rock and roll so well!"
This first comment attracted cheers from the audience.
“Your song "Princess" perfectly combines hard rock and metal styles, and also adds elements of pop music, making the whole song both wild and wild rock. Without losing the smoothness and melody of pop music.
Especially the use of electric guitar, which is very well done. Not only does it have a lively rhythmic string part, but also a fascinating solo performance, which made me feel instantly. Dynamic and energetic!
I haven't heard such unique and passionate rock music for a long time. It is no exaggeration to say that I have met no young singer who has such a deep understanding and understanding of rock music. Know, you are unique!
Your song "Princess", even in the era when I was young, was the top rock music! "Teacher Wang Feng said and made a rocking gesture towards Zhang Wei.
When Teacher Wang Feng was young, it was the heyday of Chinese rock and roll. The top rock of that era was definitely a ceiling-level evaluation. .
What’s more, this evaluation comes from the mouth of teacher Wang Feng.
Half of the mainland rock music industry has said this. How can you dare to say no? Okay, aren’t you just trying to ruin Teacher Wang Feng’s reputation?
None of these judges has such a strong reputation, so I had to follow Teacher Wang Feng’s comments and give Zhang Wei a thumbs up. .
...
The song "Princess" is more controversial because of Jam Hsiao's singing.
Some people feel that Xiao Jingteng's singing and vocal delivery are not good, not mellow, making people feel uncomfortable, and have a harsh feeling.
Some people think that Xiao Jingteng’s voice is explosive and penetrating. His slightly hoarse voice, paired with this song, is like soy milk paired with fried dough sticks, which is just right.
Everyone has his or her own preference, but there is definitely no problem with the lyrics and music of this song.
The lyrics of "Princess" are not limited to traditional descriptions of luxury and romance, but build a world full of mystery and temptation through a series of symbolic images. This kind of desire lyrics is very suitable for rock music.
The really outstanding part of this song is the tune, which is hard rock and metal, and can also incorporate elements of pop music. This is already difficult. The key is that this fusion does not lose the rhythm of hard rock. It loses the wildness and power of metal style without losing the melody of pop music.
Being able to integrate the three into one and display all the characteristics of the three is definitely a level reserved for top music creators.
The composer of "Princess" is Singapore's top music producer Li Si Song. He has a twin brother Li Wei Song who is also a music producer. The two brothers are also Stefanie Sun's teachers.
The two brothers were also singers at first, and later focused on music production. From the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, the golden age of Hong Kong music was when the two became active.
Almost all the famous singers in Hong Kong at that time sang the songs of the two brothers, including many famous songs, such as Jacky Cheung's "A Thousand Reasons to Be Sad"
There are also many classic film and television songs, also written by the brothers The two of them composed the theme song for Jackie Chan's movie "Drunken Master". The line "I'm upside down and upside down, just like the waves" should be an indelible mark on many people's Hong Kong movies.
In the late 1990s, the glorious era of Hong Kong music was gradually passing away, and the two brothers moved to Taipei. Gigi Leung, who was also developing in Taipei at that time, wrote many songs by them. The most successful song was the song they wrote for their apprentice Stefanie Sun. The famous song "It's Dark" was written by the two brothers for Stefanie Sun. This song directly caused Jay Chou not to win the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Melody Award. It was also Jay Chou's only Didn't win the Chinese Music Award.
Then "Green Light", "Beginning to Understand", "Straight Straight" and other Stefanie Sun's golden songs are also the works of these two brothers.
So in terms of level, these two are indeed top music producers. They have experienced the glorious era of Hong Kong music and have collaborated with rock bands like Beyond.
The two also experienced the rise of Taiwanese pop music, and personally made pop music queens like Stefanie Sun famous. That's why I was able to write "Princess", a song with a very unique style that perfectly blends rock and pop music.
Such an experience does not exist in the Mainland music scene, so even Teacher Wang Feng, who is famous for half of the Mainland rock music industry, was shocked when he heard this song from an amateur singer.
……
According to the rules of the competition, a 31-member public jury will decide who can stay on the stage and who will be eliminated.
At this time, more than a dozen of the 31 public judges looked embarrassed, as if they were riding a tiger that was unable to get off.
They are all moles arranged by the program team!
Before the show started, they had received instructions from the show to eliminate Zhang Wei at this stage.
But the development of the situation obviously exceeded their expectations. Zhang Wei's song "Princess" directly rocked the audience and fully demonstrated the rock attributes.
Obviously, Zhang Wei's performance is much better than other players, and much better than his opponents in PK. This kind of excitement, dancing and release by the whole audience together is the real passion that rock music brings to people.
Even people who don't understand music or rock will vote for Zhang Wei just based on the atmosphere and personal feelings.
More importantly, Teacher Wang Feng also gave a ceiling-level evaluation.
This is half of the mainland rock music industry, and the evaluation he gave is absolutely credible.
Teacher Wang Feng thinks it’s good, but you guys don’t think so. Do you, the public jury, know more about rock music than Teacher Wang Feng?
The song itself is good, and coupled with the high-level comments from the professional judges, if they eliminate Zhang Wei again, it will be obvious that this show is a shady thing.
Talent shows can be shady, but they must not be too obvious. If the gap between the two players is not big, it would be enough to create a shady story, but now the gap between the two players is really too big and there is no way to compare.
This also puts more than a dozen insiders in a dilemma. There will be a public jury voting for a while, but everyone has to appear on stage to vote for the contestants in turn, which means that each of them has to appear in front of the TV.
What should I do if I am raped? When people investigate, they find that you are an employee of Xiaoxiang Entertainment. Wouldn't everything be exposed by then?
The mole can pass information to Brother Chen, but the premise is that he cannot be exposed!
Liu Jianming knew that passing information to Brother Chen would expose himself, so he made a plan to kill Brother Chen.
And in this situation, if you don't vote for Zhang Wei, it will be clear to the world that I am a mole, come and investigate me! Wouldn't it be possible to die by then?
Just as the moles were sweating anxiously, their cell phones vibrated almost at the same time.
The dozen or so people, all normal people and not perverted, took out their mobile phones without asking children, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the voting, the program team finally issued an instruction to cancel the previous plan and let them vote according to their own ideas.
At the last moment, the program planners gave up on using the public jury to eliminate Zhang Wei.
There is no way, this is a talent show after all, at least on the surface, it must be fair and just. If it was obviously shady, the show would be bad.
......
Of the 31 public judges, 29 voted for Zhang Wei. The last two people who came to the stage to vote probably gave their votes to their opponents to comfort each other.
Zhang Wei successfully advanced to the top eight, but his game is not over, because today is a 9-to-7 game, and one person still needs to be eliminated.
Two people have been selected to advance to the top 7 before. One person was eliminated in the midfield PK, which means there are still 6 players left to compete for 5 places.
The rules of the next competition are still two-by-two PK, which will be judged by the judges. The winner will be promoted, and the loser will be determined.
After six people competed against each other, three were promoted and three were undecided. Among the three to be determined, the judges selected one person to advance, and the remaining two entered the final PK session.
The final PK still follows the old rules, the votes are cleared, and then the SMS voting number is looked at.
After seeing that Zhang Wei could also rock and roll, the other five players lost confidence and did not dare to choose Zhang Wei for PK.
No one took the initiative to challenge himself, so Zhang Wei could only go to others.
"Just pick one." Zhang Wei looked at several contestants and finally chose Big Brother Ji Jie.
Anyway, if you lose this PK, you will not be eliminated directly. At most, you will enter the final PK. With the strength of Big Brother, you should be able to survive.
Standing on the stage again, Zhang Wei did not bring the electric guitar, but picked up Lu Yunxiang’s Martin guitar.
The guitar prelude sounded. This time the music was much more soothing, and it did not have as strong a rhythm as "Princess".
"Changed the style! This one is pop rock." Teacher Wang Feng's eyes showed a trace of regret.
The previous song "Princess", with a style of hard rock, heavy metal and pop music, really shocked Wang Feng, so he was full of expectations for Zhang Wei's next song.
However, the intro of this song clearly sounds like a pop rock song.
Pop rock was really common in the Chinese music scene at that time.
The so-called after Hung Hom, rock and roll to death.
After entering the 21st century, other types of rock have no audience in China. Almost all rock is pop rock.
Wang Feng has listened to too much pop rock and sang too much.
Compared with the unique style of "Princess" just now, pop rock is not worth mentioning, and Wang Feng is completely uninterested.
This feeling is like a Tianjin person running to Chengdu, ready to taste the special Sichuan cuisine. A dish of Mapo Tofu just surprised his taste buds, but the next dish, the restaurant served a pancake. fruit.
At the same time, the prelude ended and Zhang Wei also started singing:
"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear it clearly..."
