Chapter 567

"Thank you for your wonderful performance!" After Liu Youyuan, the second performer, walked off the stage, Xiao Yao returned to the stage again and began to continue the work of the host. Before introducing the next competition song, Xiao Yao specially praised it: "whatever else, I think Youyuan has made great progress in Chinese. What do you think?"

Liu Youyuan sang a Chinese song just now. This is his second time to sing a Chinese song in this program. At least in terms of pronunciation, it is much better than when he sang a Chinese song last time. This is the recording of the eighth game of this season. It takes almost two months. Obviously, Liu Youyuan has been learning Chinese continuously and diligently in these two months. Xiao Yao can hear it and points it out to the audience by the way.

"Yes The audience applauded and yelled.

"Thank you Liu Youyuan, who has already reached the middle of the channel in front of the stage, stops after listening to the translation of Zhang Qiao, the agent next to him, turns around and bows to Xiao Yao on the stage. He didn't have a microphone in his hand at this time, so he was a little far away from Xiao Yao. The noisy environment made him not sure whether Xiao Yao could hear him, and he didn't want to shout. So when he said it, he exaggerated the two Chinese characters of "thank you". Because at this time, Xiao Yao was attracted by his action of stopping and looked in his direction. Whether he can hear or not, he can see.

"Next, I'd like to introduce the next competition song," said Xiao Yao after seeing Liu Youyuan thank you for leaving. "The name of this song is" when you are old ", which is adapted from a poem by the same name written by Irish poet William Butler Yeats."

"Wow ~" hearing the song adapted from the poetry of a great foreign poet, there was a cry of surprise in the audience, and Xiao Yao laughed with satisfaction.

"Qin Xiaodong!"

"Qin Xiaodong!"

Some people in the audience yelled and Xiao Yao's smile froze on his face.

In fact, it's not surprising that the audience has such a reaction. Qin Xiaodong started his career as a campus singer. Although he graduated from Shuimu University, he won the nickname of "music poet" for his elegant temperament, elegant conversation and the full literary atmosphere of his previous songs. Moreover, among his previous songs, he not only had a semi original work of re writing words in Chinese for a Korean song, but also brought an unpublished original new song like Xiao Yao in the last scene. Although Xiao Yao has also published three famous modern poems and composed a new song for Song Ci "song melody", his image is quite changeable and jumping, far less than Qin Xiaodong's image of "music poet" which has been kept for more than ten years. Therefore, Xiao Yao said that when he adapted the songs from the poems, the audience's first reaction was Qin Xiaodong, not Xiao Yao.

"Well? Ha ha ~ "Qin Xiaodong, who watched the live broadcast in the room, was also stunned by the audience's shouts, and then he was happy to see Xiao Yao's unhappy face.

"Stop!" Xiao Yao raised his hand and said, "although brother Xiaodong has a nickname of" music poet ", he is not the only singer who can write poems, and he is not the only one who can adapt poems into songs."

"I knew that a singer in this program also wrote poems. Have you ever heard of" birds and fish "? Have you ever heard of see and don't see? Have you ever heard of if talent is not recognized? Also, have you ever heard of Gong Chen's water tune song Xiao Yao threw out a series of questions to the audience.

"Oh ~" the audience responded, and the cheers were mixed with some "heard" shouts.

"If he doesn't, I really don't remember that this little guy has written a lot of excellent modern poems," Qin Xiaodong said, stopping laughing and looking at Xiao Yao on TV. "Now when he says that, how can I feel that the nickname" music poet "is more suitable for him?"

"I've heard of the water melody. Which capitals he said were his poems?" In another room, Hong Wei also looks at Xiao Yao on TV and asks his agent Wu Youdao.

"Well," Wu You nodded, "flying birds and fish is written by him to his girlfriend. Seeing and not seeing and if talent is not recognized were all taken out by him when he took part in the art examination of the performance Department of Shenxi opera last year. They are all modern poems. In fact, he recited an ancient poem Qinyuan spring snow when he was attending the ancient poetry conference, which was also written by himself. These are all excellent poems that have been popular in the literary circle for a long time last year. They have also been published in literary magazines. "

"No wonder he was able to write the same lyrics as the ancient poetry in the last" zhumeng Ling ". He turned out to be a poet." Hong Wei shook his head and said, "what kind of evil son did Xiao have?"

On the stage of the studio, when Xiao Yao introduced his song, some staff came up to make preparations. There are only two staff members coming up, one of whom is carrying a chair, one is carrying a microphone stand, the other is carrying a guitar and one is carrying a metal stand. After Xiao Yao asked the audience a series of questions, one had already set up his chair and microphone in the middle of the stage, while the other stood with his guitar waiting for Xiao Yao."Next, please enjoy the performance of the next singer." Xiao Yao said, turned and walked to the dim position in the middle of the stage, sat down on the chair, put the microphone in his hand on the microphone rack, and took the guitar and the metal rack from a nearby staff member.

The staff left, and the lights in the middle above the stage came on. Seeing Xiao Yao, the audience immediately cheered and screamed again.

At this time, Xiao Yao was the only one on the stage. He was sitting on a black chair, holding a very common primary color wooden guitar in his hand, and a harmonica stand was hanging around his neck. A harmonica was placed on the harmonica stand, just a little below his mouth. In front of him, there is a microphone stand which holds the microphone not far from his mouth and is almost at the same height as his mouth.

Such a scene immediately reminds many people of the scene of Xiao Yao playing three kinds of musical instruments and singing "those flowers" in the last blind selection of "the voice" the year before last. Although Xiao Yao has only two kinds of musical instruments, one less tambourine than at that time, it is exciting for the audience to see the singer playing two kinds of musical instruments at the same time on this stage.

Some audiences with a good memory even remember that when Xiao Yao performed three kinds of musical instruments at the same time in the "good voice", it seemed that he was dressed as fresh as today with a white shirt and blue jeans, and then made some unreasonable guesses: "is this the standard configuration for Xiao Yao to sing folk songs?"

In Xiao Yao's mind, he performed all three instruments together in the sound the year before last. This time, he only played two instruments at the same time. It's not a trick for him at all, but others obviously don't think so. In addition to Xiao Siqi's calmness, several singers in the rest room have their own reactions to Xiao Yao's plan to play two kinds of musical instruments at the same time.

"Playing two instruments at the same time? What a cow Liang Xueying looks at Xiao Yao on TV and praises him.

"I knew that this boy had to do something different in every game!" Hong Wei touched his forehead and sighed.

"It seems that it's less than the voice of the good year before last. Does he give us face?" Qin Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Is he going to play two instruments at the same time? Can he do it? " Liu Youyuan in the hall looks back at his agent Zhang Qiaodao in surprise. Because there was a Wei shile who finished the competition next to him, Liu Youyuan asked this question in Chinese as he drew a line.

"Yes," Zhang Qiao nodded and replied in Chinese. "When he took part in a competition the year before last, he played three kinds of musical instruments at the same time. Besides guitar and harmonica, he also played a tambourine on the ground with his feet. There is a video of his game on the Internet. If you want to watch it, I'll find it for you later. "

"Really? I want to see it, too. Can we see it together? " Wei shile also said. Wei shile is also very surprised by Xiao Yao's image, and is also very interested in how Xiao Yao can play three kinds of musical instruments at the same time.

"OK, no problem!" Zhang Qiao said, "when Xiao Yao played three kinds of musical instruments at the same time, it was a hot topic. It was easy to find the video of the competition two years ago on the Internet."

On the stage, Xiao Yao, who was ready, motioned to the conductor Liu Tong and gently plucked the strings of his guitar. With the sound of the guitar, the piano in the live band began to sound.

"When you are old, your hair is gray, and you are sleepy. When you are old and unable to walk, warm yourself by the fire and remember your youth...

after a simple but moving prelude, Xiao Yao's clean and simple voice rings. Gentle tone, soft expression, very easy to let the audience quiet down, quietly listening to Xiao Yao's singing.

This is a song adapted by Zhao Zhao according to the poem of Irish poet Yeats, but what impresses us more is the performance of Li Jian and Mo Wenwei at the Spring Festival Gala in I am a singer. Xiao Yao thinks that this song is not suitable for female singers, so he basically ignores the version sung by Mo Wenwei. Now the song brought to this stage is a combination of two versions by the original authors Zhao Zhao and Li Jian.

Although "I am a singer" and Xiao Yao's "singer" are very similar programs in his previous life, Xiao Yao's song now appears as an original song. He never intends to show his ability of "splicing" songs in this program, and there is no world famous song "life of the rose" in this world, so Xiao Yao is still the best composer Based on Zhao Zhao's original version, he did not use August photo studio in the prelude as Li Jian did, and added a melody of rose life in the middle.

However, Zhao Zhao's original version is written for his mother, and the whole song is slightly decadent, while Li Jian is more in line with the meaning of the original poem to sing for lovers. Therefore, Xiao Yao, who has never been decadent, not only sings less decadent than Zhao Zhao, but also keeps two changes in the lyrics in Li Jian's version. In the beginning, "nap by the fire" was changed to "warm by the fire", and in the last sentence, "I wish this song was for you" was changed to "I want to sing this heart song for you." It's just that without the melody of rose life, Xiao Yao gave up the part of "I can't keep all the years" added by Li Jian.Zhao Zhao's song is basically two repetitions of two different lengths of "when you are old". In the middle of the two repetitions, there is a musical interlude containing the harmonica sound, and this interlude has also become a dazzling moment for Xiao Yao's performance.

"Wu ~"

after the first half of the song, the song came to the interlude. Xiao Yao also lowered his head and put his mouth on the harmonica in front of him to play. At the same time, he kept playing the guitar with the sound of drum and piano.

Seeing the expected scene, many audiences want to stand up and cheer and scream. But Xiao Yao's gentle and soothing song is a song that needs to be listened to quietly. The audience who have been brought up by Xiao Yao's previous singing can't bear to make too much noise to destroy the artistic conception of the song, so we just express our attitude to Xiao Yao's performance with a burst of applause.

"That's great!" In the rest room, several other singers are also intoxicated to listen to Xiao Yao's singing and playing. Even Wei shile and Liu Youyuan, who saw Xiao Yao playing two musical instruments at the same time for the first time, are also shocked at the bottom of their hearts. They don't use too fierce words and body movements to express themselves and destroy their feelings of listening to the song.

"When I am old, I will sing this song for you ~"

in the original version of Zhao Zhao's previous life, the song ends with a half minute musical instrument performance. In this place, Xiao Yao retained the way of ending with musical instrument performance, but added a harmonica accompaniment to the original soundtrack. So at the end of the last sentence, he bowed his head to the harmonica again and showed the audience the skill of playing harmonica and guitar at the same time.

Seeing that Xiao Yao once again demonstrated the skill of playing both instruments at the same time, there was another round of applause, which was not too fierce. And as Xiao Yao continued to play, the applause did not disappear as in the interlude, but gradually turned into the audience shaking their bodies or heads and patting their palms to echo with Xiao Yao.

In the audience's soft clapping, Xiao Yao's right hand swept over the guitar string for the last time, and his mouth also left the harmonica. At the same time, the sound of piano and drum in the accompaniment gradually dissipated into the air with the sound of guitar and harmonica. After performing the whole song, Xiao Yao looked up at the audience for the first time with a gentle smile on his face.

This time, the reaction of the audience was obviously enthusiastic, and many of them stood up with red eyes. However, there is still no cheering and screaming. Even the audience who stand up with red eyes, just like those who sit in their seats, just clap silently.
