On the stage, Xu Nuo said into the microphone: "This "Broader Sea and Sky" is dedicated to everyone present and to the audience in front of the TV. I hope everyone will never give up on their ideals."

For the third song of "New Era", Xu Nuo chose Beyond's classic song "Broad Sea and Sky".

Among Cantonese songs, this song ranks among the top in popularity in history.

However, this song was not well received when it was first released.

On May 26, 1993, "Broader Sea and Sky" was officially released. However, at the beginning, this song was almost drowned in industrialized saliva songs.

At that time, most stars became famous by singing covers and arrangements of Japanese songs, and no one cared about their original songs.

The album "Joy and Fury" that contains this song was given a low score by magazines. "Broad Sea and Sky" received average results, and almost no media mentioned this song.

The band Beyond lost to Grasshopper for the sixth consecutive year in the Best Group Award.

Wong Ka-Kui also said disheartenedly: "Hong Kong only has the entertainment industry, not the music scene."

Wong Ka Kui, who was disappointed with the Hong Kong music scene, chose to go to Japan to expand the market. However, life in a foreign country was not easy either. After being fed up with the cold looks and ridicule, Wong Ka Kui wrote the song "Broader Seas and Sky".

Sadly, on the 29th day after the release of "Broader Sea and Sky", 31-year-old Wong Ka Kui unfortunately fell off the stage and died 6 days later.

The life of this talented singer came to an abrupt end, and "Broad Sea and Sky" became his swan song.

After the accident in Ka Kui, various radio stations in Hong Kong unanimously chose to broadcast "Broader Sea and Sky".

After Ka Kui leaves, wherever there are many people, this song will definitely create cohesion and become a song that unites everyone.

Since its debut 31 years ago, "Boundless Sea and Sky" has never fallen off the altar. No matter where we are, as soon as its melody sounds, it always makes people feel the urge to burst into tears.

Due to the huge impact of this song, there are overwhelming comments on the Internet. However, these comments are full of comparisons, insults, self-deprecation, mutual insults, blind exaggeration and malicious belittling.

The music circle has become a rice circle. It doesn’t matter whether the music is good or not, but who sings it is important.

This is probably one of the reasons why Ka Kui said, "Hong Kong only has the entertainment industry, not the music scene."

Many people don't love music as much as they say, they just like celebrities.

When Ka Kui was alive, all Beyond members only sang "Broader Seas and Sky" twice, which was a pity for the entire music industry.

Such a song, even in Blue Star, should be known to everyone, so Xu Nuo chose to reproduce "Broad Sea and Sky" on the stage of the finals.

Even the look is the same as when Ka Kui sang "The Years of the Tiger" at the Contact Life concert.

This is a tribute.

At the same time, it is also an encouragement to everyone. "Broader Sea and Sky" is naturally suitable to appear on a stage like competition.

The camera shows a close-up of Promise, with her muscle lines looming under the light, exuding strength and passion.

The whole person exudes the aura of male hormones.

The applause, whistles and cheers at the scene could not subside for a long time.

The sleepiness of the audience in the live broadcast room was immediately driven away, and everyone became energetic.

"Can the director please mark the pants so that they look more interesting?"

"Exposed on stage"

"Want to see."

"Brother, give me a license plate."

"Fuck, you guys are really perverted!"

The women in the live broadcast room were very excited, and the men were the most excited.

At the same time, Xu Nuo's appearance was also posted online.

# shock! The famous singer reveals her clothes in public on stage!

When the scene finally quieted down, Xu Nuo snapped his fingers and the lights dimmed, giving people a sense of loneliness.

The prelude is played on the piano, the starting key is not high, the rhythm is very slow, concise and powerful.

The three people stood separately on the stage, with Xu Nuo standing in the middle.

But the more it played, the lower it became, and the more it played, the heavier it became. It was obviously a hot summer day, but there was an inexplicable feeling of desolation caused by the cold wind.

After just a few notes, the accompaniment almost disappeared, and the listener's mood became low and empty.

Just then, the promised song sounded:

"Today, I watched the snow drifting by in the cold night,

Drifting far away with a cooled heart,

Chasing in the wind and rain,

I can't tell the traces in the fog,

The sky is vast and the sea is vast for you and me,

Will it change (who is not changing)?”

The harmony part was sung by Kevin Shen.

When he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked that it was in Cantonese.

This is the first time Xu Nuo has shown that he can speak Cantonese.

Cantonese songs have long developed into a genre in the Chinese music scene. Among the most classic and popular songs, "Broad Sea and Sky" has a place. Only a few songs such as "Shanghai Beach" can be compared with this song.

It doesn't matter if you don't know Cantonese. It doesn't affect everyone's singing of Cantonese songs, especially this song "Broad Sea and Sky". Even if you don't know how to sing, you can still hum a few lines.

"What! Promise can also speak Cantonese?!"

"Isn't he from Jiangcheng?"

"Beautiful boy, I'm from the Northeast and can also speak a few words. Isn't it strange?"

"What a surprise. This is No Yan's first time singing a Cantonese song. Is there anything else he can't do?"

Nowadays, few people compose Cantonese songs. On the one hand, the pronunciation of Cantonese is very difficult, and the pronunciation must be standard. Six tones and nine tones are even more difficult. On the other hand, many people are too demanding about Cantonese songs. This kind of harshness is not Not to the music, but to the singer.

So now fewer and fewer people sing in Cantonese.

The audience was shocked, especially those from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions.

"This pronunciation is very standard."

"As a person from Jiangcheng, it's shocking enough that he can distinguish l from n, in from ing, and he can also sing Cantonese, which I didn't expect."

"Treasure singer, right?"

Someone suddenly remembered, "By the way, Lin Wanqing also sang a song "Shanghai Beach" before. Could it be that she taught it?"

"How to teach? Mouth-to-mouth teaching?"

"Tell me more about mouth to mouth."

The barrage in the live broadcast room gradually went off track, and the style became more and more crooked.

Xu Nuo spoke in Cantonese, which really surprised everyone.

What is even more surprising are the singers in Hong Kong. The sense of crisis in their hearts is getting stronger and stronger. Cantonese songs are already their last moat. If this is broken by others, will they still have a place to stay?

Everyone is surprised that the third song of "New Era" is actually a Cantonese song, and also surprised by how exciting this song is.

It is obviously a midsummer night, but with just a few lines of this song, it seems that everyone has been transported to a cold winter snowy night, where everyone will change after being disheartened, sleepy, windy and snowy, and bruised all over.

At this time, the rhythm of the piano on the stage changed, from being vague to nothing, and the two accents were struck repeatedly, firmly and full of power.

The voice of the promise was also thicker, and the steps were difficult to move forward firmly on the windy and snowy night.

"how many times,

Enduring the cold looks and ridicule,

Never gave up on the ideal in my heart.

I was in a trance for a moment,

If you feel a sense of loss,

Unknowingly it has faded,

Love in my heart (who understands me)"

The lyrics displayed on the big screen moved everyone. The slow and heavy piano sounded a little lonely and desolate.

On the stage, the string orchestra remained motionless, with only the sound of the piano and three singers, lonely instruments and lonely singers.

It is also a lonely dream.

In the camera, the students backstage had red eyes, as did Xia Qi, who had just won the championship.

Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou on the stage even had tears in their eyes.

On the road to chasing their dreams, they have experienced countless cold looks and ridicules.

The words Shen Kaiwen heard the most were: "You'd better give up as soon as possible, no one will like you."

"It's better to be in a class than to have unrealistic dreams."

He has also seen many people who have the same dream as him, and then under pressure, give up sadly and return to mediocrity.

Who understands me? Shen Kaiwen glanced at Xu Nuo and Yu Zhou on the stage.

If it weren't for this shirtless man singing, he might really not be able to bear it.

When Shen Kaiwen looked over, he happened to see Yu Zhou across Xu Nuo.

The two people's eyes met, and nothing was said.

Brothers in distress, even the situation is the same.

On the road to chasing their dreams, fortunately they met Xu Nuo, a man who single-handedly made them famous.

The audience is also sympathetic. Many people have wandered and endured hardships for their ideals. The road to pursuing their ideals is long and arduous.

"Boundless Seas and Sky" vividly expresses the struggle of such frustrated people in life and their desire for ideals.

The audience has lost count of how many times they have heard songs about dreams on stage tonight, but they are not tired of it at all.

Just like that graduation ceremony, they listened to ten graduation songs in a row and felt that they still had more to learn.

Everyone has great patience for good songs.

They listened to the song quietly, and Nuoyan's singing voice was still gentle, delicate and full of boldness and uninhibitedness.

Up to this point, the overall feeling of the song is low and depressing, but everyone knows that the chorus will definitely be more exciting.

Because until now, there has been no movement from the string orchestra on stage, which is not normal.

This fully armed string orchestra cannot be just a decoration, nor is it in line with the style of the promise.

The piano slowly and powerfully plays a cold and intriguing melody, and in the atmosphere of loneliness and pain, the chorus is sung.

"Forgive me for my unruly indulgence and love of freedom in this life,

I am also afraid that I will fall down one day~oh~no,

Abandoned the ideal,

Anyone can do it,

How can I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me~"

There was still no movement from the string orchestra, and there was only the promised roar on the stage, but in this atmosphere it was more like a wail.

The three words "you can" were bitten very hard, and the voice was a little hoarse, as if he was hoarse.

The sentence "Forgive me for my unruly indulgence and love of freedom in this life" was like a heavy hammer that hit everyone present.

It doesn't matter if you are not understood, it doesn't matter if thousands of people laugh at you, as long as there is one person willing to support you, it is worth it.

For the singer on the stage, even if there is only one person listening to him singing, even if there is only one person who understands him best, it is still worth it.

The first half of the song ends with the promise of a slightly hoarse roar.

Everyone seems to have seen an inspirational story. A person who has experienced hesitation and pain and struggle, is indomitable in the face of difficulties, and pursues his ideals and strives for self-improvement is standing on the stage.

The hearty performance on stage makes people feel the urge to burst into tears.

While the audience was deeply immersed in this emotion, the music suddenly became quiet, and the song dropped from high to low in an instant.

This leaves everyone wondering what the second half will be like.

repeat? Or are there new changes?

Intuition tells them that the second half will not be a simple repetition.

Because the instruments on their bodies have not moved yet, the string orchestra waiting on the stage remains motionless.

On the stage, the piano accompaniment almost disappeared. In the first 1 minute and 44 seconds of the song, there was only the sound of the piano, which seemed extremely lonely.

In fact, the original name of this song is "Piano Song". In this song, Ka Kui changed the previous guitar-based accompaniment and chose to use piano to cut in, which is completely different from previous songs such as "Glory Days".

The sound of the piano disappears, and now silence is better than sound.

The next moment, the string orchestra finally moved, and the exciting drum set sounded, making the audience excited.

Amid the passionate drum beats, Xu Nuo spoke.

It's still repetitive lyrics, but everyone's feelings are completely different from the first half. If the first half is unwilling and roaring, then the second half is high-spirited and uplifting.

The audience couldn't help but sing along. There were 80,000 people. They came from all over the world. Their pronunciation was different and it was not standard Cantonese at all, but their feelings were the same.

At this moment, the audience from the Cantonese-speaking area was very tolerant.

"Today, I am watching the snow drifting by in the cold night~"

Everyone sang together, and some audience members who didn't know how to sing simply hummed the lyrics instead.

But it doesn’t matter, the atmosphere is here, and no one will laugh at him.

"Still free to myself,

Sing my song forever,

Traveling thousands of miles~

Forgive me for my unruly indulgence and love of freedom in this life,

I am also afraid that I will fall down one day~oh~no,

Abandoned the ideal,

Anyone can do it,

How can I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me~"

All the instruments were spread out at once, and the music was magnificent and majestic. The music seemed to be surging and surging on the stage, with every beat becoming more determined and every beat stronger.

Difficulties and twists, loneliness and hesitation not only did not crush the people on the stage, but instead burst out with more powerful power.

Everyone thought of a sentence: Everything that can't defeat me will only make me stronger.

At the end of the song, there is a chorus of three people. In this song, Xu Nuo is the lead singer, Shen Kaiwen is responsible for the harmony, and finally it is a chorus of three people.

The song's momentum reaches its peak, majestic and unstoppable, as if it wants to crush all the frustrations and hesitations and throw them away into the sky.

Many people at the scene had tears in their eyes.

On the stage, Xu Nuo finally picked up the guitar that had been hanging on his body for more than four minutes and played a one-minute guitar solo.

The shrill, choked sound of the piano resembles the cry of a lonely goose. This was Huang Guanzhong's 1996 performance, known as the "crying guitar."

Few people play a one-minute guitar solo like this. This is the prerogative of genius. Most people who play like this will definitely be scolded by the audience.

The hearty "Sea, Sky and Sky" ends here.
