Chapter 114 Open Air Concert
The Hollywood Bowl is one of the most important cultural and entertainment venues in California and even the world. Since its official opening in 1922, it has hosted countless music performances, large and small.
The audience here today is somewhat special. Chinese, who are ethnic minorities, make up the majority. People come from California and even all over North America to gather under the shell-shaped stage of the amphitheater to see what is in their hearts. The "Light of the Chinese" - Yang Ye.
In the past three years, Yang Ye has brought more than three high-grossing Kung Fu movies to Chinese people in North America. His feat of defeating the American boxing champion and sweeping the Oscars has greatly changed the image of Chinese people in North America and made countless Chinese To be proud and proud is to be proud.
This is the largest performance since Yang Ye started his concert tour. There are more than 20,000 spectators at the scene. Apart from him, it is impossible for any Chinese singer to perform.
The square was buzzing with people. Yang Ye looked at the rosy faces of the four little girls and said softly: "Xiao Min, Xiao Xian, Xiao Yi, Ying Ying, don't be nervous, just like usual rehearsals."
< br>"Yes!" The four little girls nodded heavily, but their voices were trembling.
“Come on, high-five!”
Yang Ye smiled and high-fived the four little girls while encouraging: “Come on!”
Zheng Donghan came over and said: “ Mr. Yang, there are still twenty minutes left before the game starts!”
Yang Ye nodded, pulled Zheng Donghan and Deng Lijun aside, and said, "I think the four of them are too nervous. Something might go wrong when we go up."
Deng Lijun said: "Don't talk about the four of them. I'm a little girl. I've never sang in such a big place."
Yang Ye shook her hand and said with a smile, "Calm down, you are already a veteran. "How many years have you been on stage?"
Teng Lijun thought for a moment and said, "In 1962, I started performing with the Jiusan Kang Band, so it has been fifteen years."
“Then you have been on stage since you were nine years old?”
Teresa Teng proudly said: "Yes, in 1963 I participated in the Taiwan Huangmei Tune Singing Competition and won the championship."
Yang Yegong cupped his hands and said: "I admire you! Why don't you teach a few children? Give them some experience?”
“Just call me and give me a kiss.”
Yang Ye hugged Deng Lijun and gave her a deep French kiss. The four children not far away saw it. She covered her eyes in shock, then opened a slit with her fingers and peeked.
“Are you satisfied?”
"Nice!"
Teng Lijun was satisfied and taught the four children to relax.
......
"Gently hold your face and wipe away your tears. This heart will always belong to you, tell me that I will no longer be alone. Staring deeply at your face Eyes, no more words are needed. Hold your hand tightly, the warmth has not changed..."
Four children, wearing snow-white skirts, stood on the shell-shaped stage in the open square, He gently sang the theme song of this concert "Let the World Be Full of Love".
In the childish singing, Yang Ye appeared on the stage wearing a white tunic suit, and the audience burst into cheers.
“We rejoice together, we endure together, and we have the same expectations.”
“We share hardships, we pursue together, and we cherish the same love.”
"No matter whether you and I have known each other before, whether we are in front of me or in the horizon."
"I sincerely wish you happiness and peace..."
Yang Ye sang passionately, and the lyrics fit the situation inexplicably. No matter where we are in the world, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we all have the same blood. On such an occasion, the audience felt very moved when it was sung by a person they regarded as a hero.
Later, Yang Ye sang "Chinese Folk Song" again.
Yang Ye has been famous for a long time, and many Chinese people can sing his songs. As a result, a grand chorus of ten thousand people formed at the scene. Many people were infected by the atmosphere and even cried while singing, leaving other non-Chinese audience members at the scene baffled.
After singing the two songs, the distance between Yang Ye and the audience has become much closer, and now it is time to change the style.
Yang Ye took off his tunic suit and wore only a small vest, revealing his toned muscles and raising one arm high. He was about to start rocking out, and there was a burst of cheers from the audience.
The drums and lights on the stage suddenly became dynamic. Yang Ye took the microphone and shouted: "Everybody!"
After shouting, he raised his hands and started clapping along with the rhythm. In this day and age, audiences are generally quiet when watching performances, and passionate responses are rare unless they are really excited.
The performers on the stage rarely take the initiative to guide the audience to interact with them.
As was common in later generations, the singer waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone sing together!"
Then the microphone is pointed at the audience and everyone sings together, which does not happen now. As for Wu Bai's kind...
Now, Yang Ye not only actively claps his hands, but also has the sounds of clapping and stamping his feet in the live sound effects.
As a result, under this deliberate guidance, the audience quickly participated excitedly!
Amidst the passionate clapping and drumming, Yang Ye sang:
Buddy you'rea boy make abignoise (Buddy, you are a child who can only yell loudly)
Playing in the streetsgonna bea big man someday (Playing in the streets hoping to become a big shot one day)
Yougotmudonyourface (You made yourself disgraced)
Youbigdisgrace (Extremely embarrassed)
Kickingyourcanallovertheplace (Kicking the tin can everywhere Kick it away)
Singing (Sing loudly)
Wewill, wewillrockyou! (We will rock you)
Yang Ye waved his hand, and tens of thousands of spectators immediately sang along with him: Wewill, wewillrockyou!
At this moment, Yang Ye was like a lead singer and a cheerleader directing the audience, and everyone's enthusiasm was aroused.
Even the security personnel on site couldn’t help shouting: Wewill, wewillrockyou!
The neat applause and slogan-like chorus suddenly resounded over Hollywood.
When the lights and the audience in the entire venue change neatly with the rhythm, all the audience can feel is the unparalleled shock brought by rock music.
After singing "WeWillRockYou", the audience was already excited.
After all, although everyone has seen many concerts, this is the first time for me to have such a sense of participation and such a novel experience.
Now, in addition to more than 10,000 Chinese, there are thousands of viewers of other races.
Some of them became fans of Yang Ye after watching his action movies, and some came here to join in the fun.
Yang Ye sang some Chinese songs, which they didn't understand, and they didn't have much sense of participation.
How could Yang Ye allow this to happen? So he specially selected a few English songs.
Since you spent money to listen to music, you can’t let your money go in vain!
As soon as the song "WeWillRockYou" came out, the scene immediately became excited.
Next, Yang Ye seamlessly switched between Chinese Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, English and other languages, and sang more than 20 popular songs in one breath.
The largest number of overseas Chinese are from Fujian. Fujian is a place with eight mountains, one water, and one farm. In the past, when life was difficult to survive, the only option was to worship Mazu and go to sea to earn a living.
Yang Ye specially presented a Hokkien song "You Will Win Only If You Love to Work Hard", which can be said to be very thoughtful.
“When you lose your ambition, you can’t help but sigh, and when you’re down and out, you can’t help but feel scared. Even if you lose hope, you will be drunk every day, soulless and body-like, like a scarecrow.”
“Life can be compared to the waves on the sea. , Sometimes it rises and sometimes it falls. Good luck or bad luck, you have to work according to your destiny. Three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work, and love will win..."
Inspirational and inspiring lyrics, The tourists at the scene burst into tears and almost regarded Yang Ye as a relative.
Yang Ye came off the stage to rest, and Teresa Teng came on stage as a guest performer. Her song "Hometown Man" hit the Chinese audience with another 10,000 points.
The Chinese in this era are different from the Run people in later generations. Many people were forced to leave their hometowns out of desperation, but their feelings for their hometown are still there.
In the era when Yang Ye originally lived, the Chinese were either Run people or ethnic Chinese. They basically had no feelings for their motherland, and their hometown was nothing.
Subsequently, Teresa Teng sang another English song "Moonlight Lover" and a Cantonese song "Walking on the Road of Life", both of which received overwhelming applause.
The two returned to the stage, and of course they sang together to spread the dog food. After the audience was almost exhausted, they ended the performance with the song "Descendants of the Dragon".
"There is a river in the far east, and its name is the Yangtze River. There is a river in the far east, and its name is the Yellow River..."
The chorus of tens of thousands of people resounded through the sky, Yang Ye sang in Hollywood The meeting was a complete success.
