Chapter 203 "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon"

Chapter 203 "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon"

The day of the “I Am the King of Singers” charity performance.

Bird's Nest Stadium.

At six o'clock in the evening, with still an hour before the performance, all the staff and singers were ready to go.

In the director's office.

[Master Wei Guang's "Human Love" is my favorite charity song! 】

[The song was good and the singer sang well. The donations raised over 40 million. It was a great success as a charity performance! ]

Hong Bo stared at the screen and scrolled the mouse wheel, smoking one cigarette after another.

Yesterday, a charity concert by singers from the mainland and Hong Kong was held in this venue. It is the same venue. I don’t know how the effect will be presented and how the fundraising situation will be. As a director, I feel a lot of pressure.

Weibo was flooded with praise for yesterday's charity performance.

Hongbo doesn't ask to surpass, he just asks not to lose too badly.

…

…

Backstage singers' waiting room.

After putting on makeup and changing his clothes, Lin Zhixing came to the lounge and instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

The two giants of Hong Kong City are no match for Lin.

He is no longer just an ordinary singer-musician.

"Flag of Victory" was selected as the theme song of this World Cup. China's winning of the right to host this World Cup can be said to be a once-in-a-century opportunity.

The theme song he created naturally became a milestone in the music industry. If you want to have such an opportunity again, you will have to wait at least another few decades.

He also defeated many well-known creators in the competition, and his works made them willingly withdraw from the competition.

With the double-layer gold plating, it can be said that its fame has greatly increased at this stage.

"Xiao Lin, you are my God!"

Relying on her good relationship, Zhao Weiwei ignored the others who wanted to talk to Lin Zhixing, pulled him to her side, and gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

"It's amazing that your song has been selected as the theme song for the World Cup. In the future, you will be singing on the stage all over the world. You must be so jealous of me."

"It's still early."

Lin Zhixing waved his hand and said modestly: "I just wrote the song, and it's still unknown who they will ask to sing it."

Yu Jiang smiled and said, "I will definitely choose you."

"That's right."

Zhao Weiwei suddenly remembered, took out her phone and opened WeChat, asking for advice: "Your voice accompaniment yesterday was so interesting, now the whole network is imitating it, teach me!"

"Okay, no problem."

All the singers backstage looked at Lin Zhixing with envy. If he could really sing on the world's stage as Zhao Weiwei said, then that opportunity would be much better than the title of "King of Singers".

Guo Jiahe, who was waiting with a group of Super July M members, had a complicated expression on his face at the moment.

The rookie students who were once looked down upon now have to admit that if the current trend continues, their future prospects will be better than their own.

As the leader of a boy band, I still rely on my looks to be honest. Those women call any handsome guy their husband and are all playboys. When I get older, my popularity will definitely decline.

Moreover, a boy band with many singers and dancers is destined not to last long. It will probably be disbanded in one or two years at the shortest and three or four years at the longest.

Where will I go if I leave this group?

Lin Zhixing is different. As long as there are no conflicts in the group, they can live off their current music library and have no problem living off their past success until retirement.

Even if he was no longer popular in the later period, even if he performed in rural areas, he could easily earn hundreds of thousands per show.

The scary thing is that in addition to being a singer, he also has the title of songwriter.

Moreover, almost every song he sings is popular, and he has turned a humble top eight singer into an idol among students. I guess there are a lot of singers asking him to write songs for them now.

"Flag of Victory" was selected as the theme song of the World Cup. With this, the value of songwriting has been raised. In the future, you don't even need to sing, you can live a worry-free life by writing songs.

Your own failure is terrible, but your opponent's success is even more heartbreaking.

"Why!"

Thinking of this, Guo Jiahe sighed, and then he was suddenly stunned.

opponent?

When did I start to think of him as my opponent? ...

…

6:40 pm.

The audience outside the venue has already started checking their tickets to enter, and looking from the ticket gate, it is simply a grand competition.

Fans from all groups held up light boards, posters, and cheering sticks, comparing their size, brightness, and conspicuousness.

The audience in the first row at the front of the venue are all very special.

There were musicians, singers, and people invited by the organizers, all waiting for the charity performance to begin.

Huang Xiao, who was invited as a special judge of the show, was also invited to participate. He invited his old friend Zhao Weiguang to watch it together. The two were drinking tea and chatting.

Zhao Weiguang took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that the young man named Lin Zhixing also composed a song for this charity performance?"

"Yes."

Huang Xiao nodded, and seeing his old friend staring at him with a curious look eager to know the answer, he joked, "Don't be nervous, I haven't heard that song before."

Zhao Weiguang glared at him and said, "If the charity song he wrote is better than the one I wrote yesterday, I will..."

"how?"

Huang Xiao's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "Are you going to retire and stop writing?"

Zhao Weiguang patted his old friend's thigh, smiled and shook his head, "I'm almost 60 now, I don't have the courage to bet like young people in their twenties or thirties. If this song is better than mine, I will praise him and promote him to everyone I meet, so that he can get better and better."

Huang Xiao nodded and smiled in his heart: "I'm still unsure."

…

Backstage of the performance.

At this moment, the singers are also doing warm-up and vocal exercises, determined to perform at their best.

Lip-syncing is impossible. If you dare to lip-sync in such an occasion, you will be banned without any discussion.

"Everyone, play your best tonight and try to raise more money for charity!"

Hong Bo held a piece of paper with the order of performance in his hand and announced the order: "Ku Miao and Fang Jian, you will open the show tonight. Song Ge and Wang Jiawei, you will be the second. Jia He, you and your partners will be the third to perform, which will be the climax of the night."

"Director Hong, don't worry!"

Zhang Donghai, a member of Super July M, patted Guo Jiahe on the shoulder and assured Hongbo: "We will definitely live up to your expectations and blow up the whole audience."

Lin Zhixing nodded silently.

It is ranked after "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon". I hope you won't find it boring.

"Miracle of Leap and Ran Iijima came in second, and at the end of the performance everyone sang "Tomorrow Will Be Better" together."

"good!"

…

…

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The audience was all in place, and the "I Am the King of Singers" live broadcast room opened on time. With passionate background music, the host of the party took the stage.

After some opening remarks, the first round of singing began.

Fang Jian and Ku Miao took the stage and sang a more lyrical song.

In addition to song information, the stage screen also displays real-time donation status. If the audience enjoys listening to the song, they can click on the link in the live broadcast room to make a donation.

This is actually a test for the singers. If few people donate after the performance, it proves that the songs they sang did not impress the audience.

In this situation, Lin Zhixing couldn't help but think of the 1991 Ecstasy Gala.

Without any official organization, hundreds of Hong Kong stars spontaneously donated money to the East China flood. Jackie Chan did seven somersaults for 250,000 yuan, Andy Lau was hit by a rock on his chest and vomited blood on the spot, and Sylvia Chang sang while holding her child.

The entertainment industry was really warm that year.

…

After the opening song ended, the donation pool had accumulated to 2.05 million.

"Thanks to Ku Miao and Fang Jian for singing, and thanks to the friends who donated. The excitement continues, and now we invite Wang Jiawei and Song Ge to perform the song "Pointing to the Moon with the Left Hand"!"

[Left hand pointing to the moon]

【Singer: Wang Jiawei & Song Ge】

【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】

【Composition: Lin Zhixing】

【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】

"Wow, Wang Jiawei and Song Ge are a team. This is the first time I've seen this combination!"

"Oh yeah, where are the people? Is this song not suitable for boys to sing?"

"They both have great high notes, and we'll soon know who has the better one. I'm really looking forward to it!"

There was warm applause at the scene, and everyone was looking forward to the performance of these two powerful singers.

Amidst the applause, Song Ge, in a white dress, led Wang Jiawei, in a red dress, to the center of the stage, and cheers rang out again.

A melodious prelude sounded at the scene, and Wang Jiawei held up the microphone and spoke slowly.

"Hold the earth in your left hand and the sky in your right hand"

"The palm lines cracked with lightning in ten directions"

"Time has been quickly exchanged into years"

"Three thousand worlds are like nothing you have ever seen"

This song is in 4/4 time, with strong, weak, second strong, weak from the beginning to the end. As soon as Wang Jiawei opened her mouth, there was a swirling and rising momentum.

"Holding a flower in the left hand and dancing with a sword in the right hand"

"Ten thousand years of snow fell between the eyebrows"

"A tear ah ah ah"

“That’s me ahhhhh”

Song Ge, who had been lowering his head to gather his emotions, raised the microphone and started singing.

From the very beginning, the song gradually progressed, with waves of music rolling layer by layer, each one higher than the last, making all the pores of the audience open up.

The live broadcast room was flooded with comments.

"Wow, this chant is absolutely amazing!"

"I use my left hand to check the time and my right hand to do homework. There are 100,000 endless homework books~"

“Holding the bowl in my left hand, holding the noodles in my right hand, I’m so hungry~”

Every time Lin Zhixing heard this passage, he felt a little distracted.

Holding a flower in his left hand and dancing with a sword in his right hand, the image of Yue Buqun has always lingered in my mind.

…

"The left hand snaps the fingers while the right hand plucks the strings"

"The boat is ferrying across the water of the Forgotten River"

Song Ge's characteristics lie in his incomparable voice, unique pronunciation and a fairyland-like feeling, which many internet celebrity singers cannot achieve.

He is also adept at many vibrato, tone transitions and coloratura techniques, and does not use pure head voice in the high notes, retaining a unique timbre and clear articulation.

His excellent singing ability is well demonstrated in this song.

"Pointing at the moon with the left hand and taking the red thread with the right hand"

"Give you and me the love we wish for"

"In the moonlight ahhhh"

"You and me ah ah ah"

In the chorus, Wang Jiawei enters with a bass voice and goes in softly.

She continuously spiraled the melody higher and higher by crossing her vocal range, from bass to treble, spanning three octaves, pushing it higher and higher layer by layer, and also incorporating the bel canto soprano singing method, making it quite difficult to sing.

This song really doesn't have that flavor when it's sung.

She sang with an ethereal and fairy-like feeling. Not only was her singing penetrating, but her high notes were also clearly pronounced.

The control of strengths and weaknesses was particularly perfect, and it stopped abruptly at the most exciting part and returned to a low hum. This irresistible feeling deeply attracted the audience.

"Oh my god, a truly talented singer is singing!"

"My scalp is tingling from listening to the chanting. Is this a preview of the final?"

In the middle of the first row of the audience.

Huang Xiao and Zhao Weiguang looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

They didn't analyze the lyrics, but they sounded rather fantasy-like and thought they were probably written for a fantasy drama.

I really like the arrangement by Huang Xiao. This song is one of those songs where the singing is great, but the arrangement is even better.

There is a kind of majestic sadness, magnificent, twists and turns, ethereal and graceful, combined with music with a strong Chinese style, it is like unfolding a delicate and moving colorful picture.

The song starts off with a slow and gentle singing, and as the tempo quickens, the voice becomes louder and louder, with a sense of grandeur and layers of emotions that give it a sense of story and picture.

The high-pitched drum beats that appear from time to time seem to strike deep into people's hearts, and the high-pitched "ah~" that soars into the sky is so satisfying to listen to.

Zhao Weiguang shares the same view. He believes that this song is excellent in terms of melody, lyrics, emotional skills in singing, etc.

On the gorgeous stage.

The singing of Song Ge and Wang Jiawei gradually got better and better, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

"The left hand turns into feathers and the right hand turns into scales"

"In one life, I was in the clouds, in another life, I was in the woods"

Wang Jiawei's singing gives people a feeling of seeing through the world, very noble, very pure, and looking down on everything.

Song Ge was trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself. He had a heart-breaking feeling. His powerful singing skills made people feel as if they had experienced it before and penetrated into people's hearts.

Both are invincible and perfect, but they just give people different feelings. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. It all depends on personal preference. There is nothing to compare. They are both at the peak.

…

On stage and screen.

"3.02 million."

"4.08 million."

"5.89 million."

The donation data began to surge, and the growth rate shocked director Hong Bo, who even began to suspect that he had arranged the wrong appearance.

Backstage of the performance.

Guo Jiahe and all the members of Super July M were silent, shocked by their extreme high notes.

Zhang Donghai's face turned red after making such a boast. Looking at the current atmosphere, is it possible to surpass them? "I pick you up with my left hand and put you down with my right hand"

"When I put my palms together, you are all taken back into my heart"

"One stick of incense ah ah ah"

"You are the same as me"

It’s time for the final chorus of the song.

When the two sounds are interwoven together, it has to be said that they are extremely beautiful. It is simply "this song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world?"

The sound is absolutely divine, lingering for three days. It is absolutely impeccable in terms of aesthetics, and can even be said to have reached the extreme.

The audience waved their cheering sticks wildly, venting their excitement.

"This song is so stunning, gorgeous, with climax after climax, reaching the peak. What is a musical feast? It is this kind of song that you can listen to and hum, fill your mind and linger in your ears for three days."

Backstage of the performance.

“God-level scene!”

Lin Zhixing gave his evaluation silently. Looking at Song Ge singing hard on the stage, a picture suddenly emerged in his mind.

God: "Little pigeon, be good and eat another bite."

Pigeon: “No.”

God: "Be good, just one bite, muah."

Pigeon: “No.”

God: "Oh my goodness, just one bite is not enough, one bite."

Pigeon: “Okay, ah…”
