Although Wang Lihong came on stage with an electric guitar and played for a while, when he actually started singing, he didn't use the electric guitar at all. He went up with the electric guitar, probably just to look cool.
Maybe the electric guitar will be used in the later songs, but when singing in the front, he kept holding the guitar on his body, like a pendant.
The first song he sang was "Four Seasons" from his first album "Rival Beethoven". It was a very ordinary little love song, and its style was very different from his later songs. .
Not only is the song style different, but Wang Lihong's singing method is also very different from his later ones.
As soon as Wang Lihong opened his voice on the stage, Wang Zuxian looked surprised, "Is he taking the route of Brother Xue You?"
Zhou Yan smiled and didn't blame Wang Zuxian for saying that. Wang Lihong's singing in the early days was indeed very similar to Brother Wuying, with resonance and all.
Furthermore, Wang Lihong grew up in the United States and his pronunciation is a bit inaccurate, which is similar to when Zhang Xueyou sang Mandarin songs.
It must be said that Zhang Xueyou has a great influence on the new generation of singers, at least in terms of singing.
Many singers imitated Jacky Cheung's singing voice in their early days. Wang Lihong on stage, as well as Jay Chou and Lin Junjie who later debuted, all sang in Jacky Cheung's singing voice in their early days.
Everyone thinks that Zhang Xueyou’s singing method should be standard singing method. Learning his singing style is learning from a standard singer.
Wang Lihong's live performance is actually quite good. After all, these songs are not difficult. Although some places are unstable, it is understandable. After all, he is still young and has not experienced too much live training.
The audience was also very generous and kept applauding Wang Lihong, because they felt like they were listening to a college student version of Zhang Xueyou giving a concert.
The audience in the audience is getting bigger and bigger. Originally, there were almost no people where Zhou Yan and the others were standing, but after Wang Lihong sang a few songs on the stage, a lot of people were crowded here.
Most of the audience who came to the band stage before were here specially, and only a few were passers-by to join in the fun. However, when they heard the noise, the large group of people who joined in the fun finally arrived.
Wang Zuxian was very puzzled when she listened to Wang Lihong's performance on the stage, because she really didn't understand why Zhou Yan was interested in such an ordinary new singer.
Although Wang Lihong's performance is pretty good, to be honest, these songs of his are really nothing special, and there is nothing eye-catching about them.
The performance has lasted for a long time and many songs have been sung, but Joey Wong did not remember any of them.
The singing voice is also a bit too ordinary, and the fact that she imitates Zhang Xueyou also loses points for her. For such a singing style, it is enough to have a Zhang Xueyou.
Because no matter how similar he is, he cannot surpass Jacky Cheung. In that case, why not listen to Jacky Cheung?
If Zhou Yan had not seen Wang Lihong's later performance, he would probably have the same feeling as Wang Zuxian. The album "Beethoven" is indeed unremarkable and has completely integrated into the era.
The only advantage of the entire album may be its integrity, that is, the style of the entire album remains consistent from beginning to end.
But integrity sometimes sacrifices diversity. In other words, this album has basically no ups and downs from beginning to end.
After listening to the first song, and then the fifth song, I feel that the two songs are like the same song, the homogeneity is too serious.
There is a song in the middle that uses an electric guitar, but Zhou Yan feels that the arrangement of this electric guitar is not very good. For all the songs in the entire album, Wang Lihong can sit behind the keyboard and sing while playing.
Zhou Yan felt that Wang Lihong’s creative talent was not explored in the early albums.
There are two possibilities for this. One is that he did not have enough creative freedom when making his own album, and even if he had creative talent, he was restricted.
Another possibility is that Wang Lihong still has his own style in creation, and his level is not stable enough.
Wang Lihong, who was standing on the stage at this time, would not think so much at all. He was immersed in great joy, because he saw more and more spectators under the stage, and they were almost standing on the lawn. Full.
This was the first time since his debut that he sang in front of so many people. Even though it was outdoors and it was free, it was enough to excite him.
And the response from the audience was also very good, they all supported it.
He has even begun to look forward to how bright his stardom will be after the new album is released in August.
......
The performance came to the final stage very smoothly. Seeing that there were more and more people around, Zhou Yan might run into trouble if he didn't leave, so he said to Wang Zuxian, "Classmate Xiaoxian, Let's go."
"Yes."
Wang Zuxian nodded. She also felt that it was not convenient with more and more people around.
Then the two turned around and were about to leave holding hands.
At this moment, a voice came.
“Zhou Yan!”
Zhou Yan followed the voice and saw a tall young man standing not far away, with many people separated from him, looking surprised. Look at him.
And this shout directly attracted the attention of the people around him.
Wang Zuxian's hand that was originally going to hold Zhou Yan's was retracted, and she stood back at the same time.
She was more disguised than Zhou Yan when she went out today. In addition to a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, unlike Zhou Yan, who only wore a hat and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
People only noticed Zhou Yan and did not see Wang Zuxian who was retreating next to him.
After being recognized, Zhou Yan was very calm. He first glanced in Wang Zuxian's direction, then took two steps in the opposite direction, smiled and waved around.
Seeing Zhou Yan waving, many people realized that it was really Zhou Yan and immediately came over.
Soon, many people gathered next to Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, you are really here. We came just because of your recommendation."
"Yes, the performance tonight was very good."
"Have you finished rehearsing?"
"When did you come?"
...
Not everyone at the scene knew Zhou Yan, but they heard that a big star was here, and they all wanted to come and join in the fun.
Seeing the crowd around him, Zhou Yan was having a headache. The situation here was too complicated. If it caused chaos, unnecessary trouble might occur.
But just when he had a headache, the young man who called him just now called several people over and gathered around him to keep others out.
Two of them, Zhou Yan still remembered, they also went to the entrance of the concert hall in the afternoon.
"Everyone, please pay attention to order."
"Don't squeeze in this way."
One of the young people asked next to Zhou Yan, "Teacher Zhou Yan, where are you going now?"< br>
"Send me out."
The young man nodded, "Okay."
Then several young people gathered around Zhou Yan and escorted him out. However, it was not easy to squeeze out because the crowd was already very dense at this time.
There were so many people at the scene, many of whom were fans of Zhou Yan’s music, so when they heard Zhou Yan’s name, they all flocked here. Zhao Weilun couldn't help but pat his head when he saw the crowds coming here. If he had known better, he wouldn't have called out to so many people.
After they left the concert hall today, they hyped up tonight's performance in Daan Forest, and the gathering was basically Zhou Yan's music fans.
The situation here quickly attracted the attention of Wang Lihong and others on the stage.
Just at this moment, a song ended, and Wang Lihong immediately went to ask the staff, "What happened?"
"It seems that Zhou Yan is here." the staff replied.
Just now they discovered the situation there for the first time and have already sent people over to take a look.
"Zhou Yan?" Wang Lihong looked surprised, "Is it the musician Zhou Yan?"
Of course Wang Lihong knew Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan is not only famous in Taiwan, but also in Europe and the United States. Young Chinese people in the United States basically know Zhou Yan's existence.
"That's right. I heard someone calling Zhou Yan."
Just when Wang Lihong didn't know what to do, Li Shoquan ran over and said to him, "You take a rest first and drink. "Saliva, let me go take a look."
Seeing Li Shoquan, Wang Lihong felt more at ease. He nodded and ran to drink water.
Li Shoequan led the staff and walked in the direction of Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan and several young people here spent a lot of effort, and when they were about to squeeze out of the crowd, they heard several staff members calling him from behind.
"Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan."
"Zhou Yan."
Zhou Yan originally thought it was a music fan calling him, so he ignored it, but the other party soon caught up with him.
Li Shoquan and his staff surrounded Zhou Yan and the others from outside the crowd, blocking them.
Zhou Yan didn't know Li Shoquan, but he recognized the staff.
"You..."
Li Shoquan smiled and said, "Hello Zhou Yan, I am Li Shoquan."
Hearing Li Shoquan's self-introduction, Zhou Yan nodded suddenly. Although I don’t know Li Shoquan, I have heard his name.
"Hello." Zhou Yan responded politely, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Li Shoquan smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, it's our honor for you to come to the scene. Are you interested in coming up and saying a few words?"
Zhou Yan immediately understood what Li Shoquan meant. He wanted to He went on stage to say good things to Wang Lihong.
After all, Zhou Yan is now very famous in the music industry. If he comes forward to say good things to Wang Lihong, it will definitely be a good thing for Wang Lihong.
Zhou Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "No problem."
Seeing Zhou Yan's promise, Li Shoquan happily brought the staff together to help Zhou Yan find a way out.
Originally, when everyone saw Zhou Yan was about to leave, they all wanted to squeeze towards him. But now that he was about to take the stage, they stopped pushing and took the initiative to leave a way for him to come out.
The way to the stage was very ordinary, and Zhou Yan appeared on the stage quickly.
Wang Lihong stood on the stage and followed Zhou Yan with his eyes. When Zhou Yan came on stage, he quickly came over to shake hands with Zhou Yan and said, "Hello, Teacher Zhou, I am very happy to meet you."
The young man was very polite and even bent down when shaking hands.
Zhou Yan came to prominence in his early twenties. It only took him a few years to break into the world of music, film and television. Now he has countless followers throughout Asia.
Wang Lihong is about the same age as Zhou Yan when he debuted, so Zhou Yan is a real senior to Wang Lihong.
"Performed well today." Zhou Yan encouraged with a smile, and then apologized, "I originally wanted to leave quietly, but I didn't expect that someone would recognize you, causing your performance to be interrupted."< br>
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Wang Lihong wanted to say some scene words, but he couldn't say many scene words, so he could only say this.
At his age, many people are still in school, so it is normal to be shy.
Most of the members of the Piano Youth Orchestra are older than Wang Lihong. In Zhou Yan's eyes, Wang Lihong is similar to his students.
"I heard that you came back from the United States?"
Wang Lihong nodded and answered truthfully, "Well, I grew up there when I was a child."
" Yes, domestic music needs fresh blood from people like you who have been exposed to Western music. You know Western music better than others and can bring back good things from the West. You also hope to promote the good things of our nation. . ”
Wang Lihong was stunned for a moment, Zhou Yan’s teacher smell was too positive.
Zhou Yan probably also realized that he should not preach to Wang Lihong when they first met, and said with a smile, "You are still young, and there is still a long way to go..."
Well, it's a bit like preaching again.
"Okay, let me say a few words to the audience."
Wang Lihong nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."
Zhou Yan smiled and said The staff member took the phone and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Yan."
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was warm applause and cheers, especially the audience sitting in the front rows. They all clapped so hard that they wished they could have a hundred hands.
Many of these people are members of the Beishi Support Club and are loyal fans of Zhou Yan.
When the applause gradually subsided, Zhou Yan continued, "Welcome to Wang Lihong's outdoor concert today. Actually, Wang Lihong and I didn't know each other before today. It was just a coincidence. I saw his performance information, so I came here specifically to see it.”
“The results did not disappoint me. His performance was very good, his stage skills were solid, and his song arrangement was also very exciting. It is very gratifying to have such an outstanding young singer. I hope that he will get better and better, and I also hope that everyone can give more support and encouragement to young musicians. "
Wang Lihong also said at this time. He said, "Thank you very much for Teacher Zhou Yan's appreciation and encouragement. I am also very honored for Teacher Zhou Yan's appearance. I hope everyone can always support Teacher Zhou Yan. Teacher Zhou Yan will hold a concert in Beishi in the next few days. I also hope that everyone can Thank you for your support.”
What Wang Lihong said was a very ordinary scene, but many in the audience laughed.
“We want to support, but we can’t buy tickets.”
“Yes, the tickets have been sold out a long time ago.”
“Zhou Yan will hold one more show in Beishi , we will definitely support it.”
“Open more games”
After hearing what the audience said, Wang Lihong scratched his head and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Seeing Wang Lihong's bewildered look, Zhou Yan also smiled. This guy still has too little stage experience and is relatively shy, so he is still a bit weak in handling such a scene. (End of this chapter)
