Chapter 493 "Thousands of Miles Away"
Xu Nuo and Zheng Guangming stood behind the scenes, listening to the music.
The clear and melodious bell sounded, and then the traditional musical instruments came on stage. The crispness and ancient style intertwined to form an auditory impact.
This prelude brought everyone into the quaint atmosphere.
At this time, the curtain slowly opened, and Xu Nuo, wearing a sophisticated white suit, looked at the audience with a smile on his face.
There was a burst of applause at the scene.
Zheng Guangming did not appear, and everyone did not find it strange. He would definitely come out in a while.
At this time, the curtain closed again.
Xu Nuo raised the microphone and sang.
"The eaves are like cliffs, and the wind chimes are like the sea.
I wait for the swallows to return.
The time is arranged to stage an accident.
You quietly leave."
The lyrics at the beginning create a strong sense of picture.
The beautiful lyrics, someone is looking at the wind chimes on the eaves, waiting quietly.
The feeling of missing, under the rendering of music, spread all at once.
The first three lines of the verse are very clever. The eaves are like cliffs, the wind chimes are like the sea, and I wait for the swallows to return.
The name of the song is "A Thousand Miles Away". There is no word describing the distance in the first three lines of the lyrics, but it makes everyone feel a thousand miles away.
The cliff is a thousand miles high, the sea is a thousand miles deep, and the swallows are a thousand miles away.
There is a sense of poetry in the implicitness.
"The story is outside the city, the thick fog cannot be dispersed,
the dialogue cannot be seen clearly,
you can't hear that the sound of the wind does not exist,
it's me sighing."
It's already very nice to listen to the verse alone.
Unlike some songs, the climax is okay, once you are attracted to listen to it, you will find that there are only a few lines worth listening to in the whole song.
It is common to fill in the gaps in songs.
But with so many people at the scene, no one would think that Xu Nuo would fill in the gaps.
Because this song is dedicated to his mother.
The last song dedicated to his mother was called "Listen to Mom", which has been included in the piano teaching materials of the Conservatory of Music.
A professor figured out the meaning. Every sentence of the main song rhymes with "ai". It's not amazing, but at least it's better than the lyrics written by most singers.
It's obviously a performance of two people, and the other protagonist Zheng Guangming has not appeared until now.
This situation makes many people a little puzzled.
Generally, the distribution of lyrics for chorus songs is more reasonable. It's rare that Xu Nuo sings alone and the other person hasn't appeared yet.
So everyone is guessing when Zheng Guangming will appear.
He is willing to sing at such an old age, and he will definitely not be fooled casually.
On the stage, Xu Nuo continued to sing.
"Who is on the windowsill when I wake up from the dream?
Open the ending,
The future as thin as a cicada's wing can't withstand anyone's demolition."
The last tail note is slightly elongated, and the tone is upward.
Those who know the business know that this means that the climax of the chorus is about to begin.
Everyone looked at Xu Nuo with burning eyes.
But Xu Nuo put away the microphone, made a gesture of invitation, and stepped aside.
The clear and long singing voice sounded.
"I send you away from thousands of miles away. You are silent and black and white.
In the silent era, perhaps love should not be too far away." At the same time, the curtain slowly opened, and Zheng Guangming, dressed in a white suit, walked slowly to the center of the stage.
Although he was very old, his voice was still clear.
"I send you away from the end of the world. Are you still there?
Where does the sound of the piano come from? Life and death are hard to guess. I wait for a lifetime."
Suddenly, the bel canto singing method appeared, and many people were extremely surprised.
Although Xu Nuo had said before the opening that there would be bel canto, everyone was still very surprised.
Bel canto singing is actually a mixed voice singing method, which uses the human body's resonance cavity to amplify the sound, and the pronunciation is very wide, which is a disadvantage in the singing of pop music.
Because of the continuous upgrading of sound microphones, bel canto singing is no longer necessary to deliberately create resonance.
The era of bel canto has passed, and only the older generation of audiences still like this singing method.
Is the era of bel canto really over?
Everyone found something different. Although Zheng Guangming held the microphone, he did not use it.
In other words, the singing just now was produced by him using the human resonance cavity he created!
In the auditorium of 3,000 people, even the students at the back could hear his singing.
This is the strength of bel canto.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned: "Fuck, bel canto can be played like this?"
A new genre in pop music, Chinese style can also play bel canto?
There was warm applause at the scene.
This was the spontaneous applause of the students. This bel canto was so shocking that it was beyond their imagination.
It was shocking, but the key was that it sounded good.
In the past, everyone didn't like bel canto very much, thinking that this singing style was particularly old-fashioned.
Now everyone realized that it was not that bel canto was not good, but that they didn't hear good songs.
The part sung by Zheng Guangming was very memorable.
But the more amazing part was still to come.
As soon as Zheng Guangming finished singing, Xu Nuo immediately raised the microphone.
"Hearing the sound of tears, I went into the forest to look for white pear blossoms, but only found a line of moss.
The sky is beyond the mountains, and the rain falls on the flower platform. My temples are gray.
Hearing the sound of tears, I went into the forest to look for white pear blossoms, but only found a line of moss.
The sky is beyond the mountains, and the rain falls on the flower platform. I am waiting for you to come."
After the beautiful canto, there was actually a rap.
The music professors in the front row were all stunned. They thought Xu Nuo would come up with something new, but they didn't expect that beautiful canto would be combined with rap.
The two unrelated singing styles blended together without seeming abrupt, but rather a sense of naturalness.
Unfortunately, this was a class, so there was no stage effect, and no lyrics, otherwise these people would be even more shocked.
This rap lyrics is a classic among classics.
“Hearing the sound of tears, I entered the forest, looking for white pear blossoms, but only found a line of moss” is quite ancient, and can be regarded as the culmination of three-line love letters.
The extreme contrast made the students at the scene forget to applaud.
The two people on the stage, one black and one white, one old and one young.
One is young and promising, singing rap, and the other is white-haired, singing beautiful voice.
The ancient style and r&b cross-fusion, Xu Nuo’s slightly low voice contrasts with Zheng Guangming’s clear singing.
The students were all boiling.
“Fuck, can you sing like this?”
“Can rap + beautiful voice be combined together?”
“Teacher Zheng is still as good as ever.”
The people at the scene lowered their voices and whispered quietly, and no one blamed them for disturbing the two people on the stage singing.
Because it is really hard to hold back, emotions need to be vented, otherwise it is easy to get sick.
Zheng Guangming began to sing:
"Your flawless love is transparent in the white of glass,
You came from the rain and poeticized the sorrow. I am wet now."
Without a microphone, his singing is still full of breath.
Applause finally sounded, as if the students had just woken up.
Xu Nuo raised the microphone and continued to sing.
"The shadow of the boat on the surface of the lotus is still there, but you don't come back,
Covered by the years, the flowers you said bloomed in the past and became blank."
If he didn't use a microphone, he could achieve the same effect as Zheng Guangming, but there was no need.
Since the most exciting part has been given to him, let's send him to the west.
Zheng Guangming raised his hand: "Who opened the ending on the windowsill when I woke up from the dream?"
Xu Nuo followed up with his hand: "The future as thin as a cicada's wing can't withstand anyone's demolition."
One person said a sentence, and the audience at the scene listened in fascination. The beautiful voice and pop music switched repeatedly, firmly grasping their ears.
In the second half of the song, the two of them sang a line each, and then sang the last line together.
In fact, Zheng Guangming's lyrics are the essence of this song.
"I send you away from thousands of miles away, you are silent and black and white,
In the silent era, perhaps we should not love each other too far away."
Some people at the scene already knew how to sing, and they began to hum along with Zheng Guangming.
Xu Nuo continued to sing: "I send you away from the end of the world, are you still there,
Where does the sound of the piano come from? Life and death are hard to guess,
Use a lifetime."
There is a foreshadowing here, what to do with a lifetime?
Although there is no MV and no stage effects, everyone can hear this story from the song.
Great times plus small people are destined to be a tragedy.
Destiny is never determined by small people. The future of small people is like a cicada's wing, seemingly beautiful, but actually broken at the touch.
At the end of the song, it also entered the climax of the whole song. The two sang alternately, staggered, with completely different styles and voice characteristics, but perfectly integrated.
In the last sentence, Xu Nuo picked up the microphone and sang: "I send you away from the end of the world. Are you still there?
Where does the piano sound come from?"
Zheng Guangming followed up: "Life and death are hard to guess."
The last two sang at the same time: "Wait for a lifetime."
This is also the only sentence in the whole song that the two sang together.
The two looked at each other and bowed at the same time.
The song ended.
The scene exploded, and the students stood up collectively and gave applause to the two.
Zheng Guangming, a 60-year-old man, sang in such a large auditorium without a microphone, just with his own voice. Even those who have not learned bel canto know how difficult it is.
What makes people admire more is Xu Nuo. He gave all the most classic parts of this song "Thousands of Miles Away" to Zheng Guangming.
This is a rare thing in his singing career.
As the original singer and creator, making such a choice requires great courage and a broad mind.
Because many people think Zheng Guangming sings better.
When the bell rang, the students were still applauding and reluctant to leave for a long time.
They loved this kind of course, which had both practical and theoretical aspects, and in the end they could listen to Xu Nuo sing in person, which was a great deal.
Soon, the video of "A Thousand Miles Away" was posted online.
"This is so beautiful!"
"Wow, Zheng Guangming, my grandma's favorite."
"Nuoyan actually invited Zheng Guangming to come out, he has been out of the entertainment industry for a long time."
"The beautiful voice is really beautiful!"
"He is indeed a genius in lyrics and music, he can even combine RNB and beautiful voice."
"Am I the only one who thinks Nuoyan is awesome? He is actually willing to be a supporting role, this is the first time in history, right?"
"After all, Zheng Guangming is the idol of the Queen Mother, this is very reasonable."
Zheng Qiuyun, who returned home, also saw the video, which was sent to her by Xu Ke.
She looked at Xu Nuo and Zheng Guangming in the video and smiled with some relief.
When she was young, who hadn't been a fan? Zheng Guangming was just a star she liked back then, and she only remembered that he had mentioned this a few times.
Unexpectedly, Xu Nuo actually remembered it.
Go home and give him chicken legs.
