Perfect Life

The applause resounded like thunder, resounding throughout the No. 1 studio. {щww{suimеng][lā}

The song "Once Upon a Time" may not be the kind of song that will be evaluated as pleasant to sing in the eyes of the general public, nor will it become a popular on-demand hit in KTV. Even, this song is only based on style. It is already doomed that it will not be the kind of work that is very popular.

However, the so-called degree of singing, for music, is only a measure of its universal value, especially its popularity and commerciality. In contrast to the degree of singing, there is another concept called the degree of hearing- There are some works, for various reasons, such as the singer is not popular, such as the style is niche and alternative, etc., it has not become a hit song to some extent, but there are always some people who have heard it and like it very much Yes, so those who like it will be very happy to recommend and promote it to their friends around them.

Because these songs are often sung into people's hearts.

What falls in the ear and hums in the mouth will eventually fade away and fade away with the passage of time, but what is sung into the heart will become more and more radiant with the passage of time.

As a result, the former was eliminated, but the latter gradually settled down and became a classic in the eyes of a generation.

"Once You" belongs to the latter.

It's not that there is no popular gene at all, and it's not that it can't be popular, because in essence, it should be regarded as a folk rock, and folk music is a kind of music that belongs to China only, and it is the love of the Chinese people, so , In fact, this song has a kind of temperament that people like in its bones, but... it is too simple and too bland.

But the situation and the situation are different.

If someone else sings this song, even if he sings it better than Li Qian, the fate of this song is likely to rise little by little while dormant, starting from a relatively small age. The public reputation began to accumulate, and gradually spread its influence, taking a typical niche work to become a classic.

But now, the person who sings this song is Li Qian, and the stage where it meets the audience for the first time is the Spring Festival Gala.

The people are popular enough, the attention is high enough, the songs are good enough, the listening ability is absolutely excellent, the singing ability also has a certain level, the stage is big enough, and the audience is large enough.

If such a piece of work would be considered good by three out of ten listeners, and only one would fall in love with it as soon as he heard it, then now, through the Spring Festival Gala and through Li Qian's singing, now , the song was pushed to a billion viewers at once!

Don't say one-tenth, even if only one percent of the audience will like this song as soon as they hear it, it is enough to make this song an absolute hit in the next year!

And now, apparently, it has conquered and won the extreme love of the part of the fans it deserves!

The applause did not stop.

The Spring Festival Gala needs applause, but the arrangement is very tight and consistent due to the length of the program. Therefore, no matter how enthusiastic the applause is, it must not last for too long. The director team has warned many times about this in advance.

So, amid the applause, Li Qian nodded slowly in thanks, "Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!"

At this time, the rest of the band also bowed to thank the audience.

When the applause finally subsided, Li Qiancai said again: "Then, the next song, "Flying Higher", is for everyone. I wish everyone a higher and higher level in the new year."

Li Qian's voice fell, and soon, the music began to sound.

At this moment, whether it is the live audience of Huaxia TV's No. 1 studio or the audience in front of thousands of TV sets, whether they like it or not, they quickly withdraw their attention and turn their attention to that stage again. And the quiet face on the stage.

Fly higher - does this name sound like an inspirational song?

It seems to make people feel more or less, it will be a little bit too far from rock and roll, but, who knows? Since the release of the last album, everyone has begun to understand. If you think about the albums that Li Qian has made in the past few years, everyone will understand more clearly: Li Qian has never been a type of author or type of singer. The noodles are very complex, and the styles that are good at are also very many.

So, no matter what kind of new work he will come up with, everyone will not be too surprised.

Just like the song "Once Upon a Time", for fans who are familiar with Li Qian and the Four Beauties, they will pat their chests and tell you that this song and this style are among the sect master's previous works. Nothing has appeared before, obviously, this is something new!

The prelude is a bit long.

The trumpet voice was low, as if something was brewing and accumulating.

Li Qian held the microphone stand with one hand, looked straight ahead, and had a Shen Yi face.

Originally, the Spring Festival Gala program group of Huaxia TV set aside eight minutes of performance time for the four beauties, and also allowed one minute to fluctuate up and down, leaving them to flexibly control according to the length of the song, the conditions can be regarded as quite loose. , in the Spring Festival Gala, is a rare treat.

But later, Li Qian and Cao Zhan discussed re-arranging the two songs and suppressing the duration of the two songs. After rehearsing several times in the company, everyone was not satisfied, so Li Qian found the director Team, I hope to add a little more time, and give the director team both the full version and the castrated version.

To be honest, no matter who is the director, this is a big problem.

Before a song or a piece of work is reviewed by the market, no matter how skilled the veteran is, he can't be completely sure of its future, but for a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, it can give eight beauties to the four beauties at once. Minutes and the performance time of the two songs are already under a lot of pressure. Both songs are new songs, and they are both works that have not been released on the market and have not received any public praise at all, which makes this pressure even more. times, and now, if the time is extended, it will even exceed ten minutes...

You must know that the time when the Big Four Beauties are on stage is the finale of the whole party. If you give them a few more minutes, it means that other programs must be deleted. In case the new songs of the Big Four Beauties are not picked up by then To an ideal attraction and ratings, the success of this party will be marked with a huge discount!

It was too risky for the show crew.

However, Li Qian insisted.

In the end, after repeated discussions with the director team, they finally decided to take a subsection from a folk art program and leave the saved three minutes of stage time to the four beauties.

Therefore, both songs were moved to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the state of the recording studio.

"Once You" is about four minutes and twenty seconds long.

And "Flying Higher" lasted six and a half minutes!

This means that at such a high-standard and high-standard party, the four beauties alone won eleven minutes of performance time!

But only in this way, the foreshadowing, gradual progress, climax and reverberation of a song can form a complete succession and transformation, and the power contained in the song can be truly explained and vented.

Rock also pays attention to splendor and climax, and it is also very important, but rock has never been presented with a few highly sung B-segments. Compared with POP pop songs, it is more fancy songs. The overall sense of structure formed by the structure - only with a mat, that flavor can come out!

However, even in rock works, the prelude to this song is quite long. The prelude alone is more than 50 seconds long - the time allocation has always been extremely nervous, and the Spring Festival Gala is almost measured in seconds. In other words, this is already equivalent to the total length of a performance that an ordinary singer can get!

However, such a long prelude is not for nothing.

The low-pitched trumpet always fluctuated in the dark pressure.

Even if you are not a professional, you can still feel the dark and oppressive atmosphere.

The sound of the trumpet gradually fell, and on the TV screen, Li Qian released the microphone and hugged the guitar tightly.

When the trumpet sound gradually faded away, he finally opened his voice——

"Life is like a river,

Sometimes quiet, sometimes mad,

Reality is like a shackle,

Bind me, I can't break free. "

The guitar always follows slowly, and then, the A1 section ends, and the drums begin to join. The rhythm of the whole song gradually turned from a dark and low atmosphere to a kind of entanglement.

When people raised their heads, it seemed that they could vaguely see that behind the dark clouds, the sun did not seem to be really far away, but was blocked by the dark clouds—

"This enigmatic life is sharp as a knife,

It hurt me again and again,

I know the kind of happiness I want,

in that higher sky. "

The sound of the drums caught his breath, and then, even more high-pitched than the previous sentence, Li Qian's voice was very unrestrained—

"I'm going to fly higher, fly higher!"

At that moment, there seemed to be lightning tore apart the dark night and the dense dark clouds above, and there seemed to be a ray of sunlight that suddenly penetrated the clouds below and spread all over the world!

At this moment, when you look up, golden light fills your eyes!

At this moment, everything you see is bright, everything is shining!

In the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, I don't know how many people subconsciously swallowed at this moment, and their breathing became rapid-the two minutes of dark pressure before, at this moment, finally. Ushered in a violent catharsis!

At this moment, there seems to be golden light in Li Qian's voice!

"Dance like a gust of wind, break free from your arms!

I want to fly higher, fly higher!

The wings roll up the storm, the heart roars!

Fly higher……"

After singing the last sentence, Li Qian's voice was withdrawn again, calm and low.

The drums haven't gone away, the guitar is unhurried, and the bass is absent.

"Flying all the time, always looking,

But I found, can't find it.

If you really want it, it's a liberation,

Cut first, the net of temptation.

The kind of life I want is more splendid,

I want a bluer sky,

I know the kind of happiness I want,

in that higher sky. "

At this moment, the camera swept across the auditorium, just to capture dozens of people at the same time, and suddenly stood up at the same time!

That arm, raised high!

That fist, clenched tightly!

However, at this time, everyone has no intention to wonder how such a lively and "unruly" scene would appear on such a serious program as the Spring Festival Gala, because at this moment, in front of countless TV sets, there are thousands of Countless people, subconsciously following the rhythm and singing of Li Qian, suddenly clenched their fists!

"I'm going to fly higher, fly higher!

Dance like a gust of wind, break free from your embrace!

I want to fly higher, fly higher!

The wings roll up the storm, the heart roars!

 …”

At this moment, the top of the head is bright, and the foot is the boundless wilderness.

At this moment, I don't know how many people can clearly feel that everything that they can perceive is slowly but constantly rising!

Under the clear sky, if you are willing to open your arms, you can have everything!

At this moment, faith and desire are growing like crazy, savage and rude!

At this moment, you finally begin to believe that as long as you are willing to run towards your ideal, then you will be omnipotent!

The mood is excited, the feelings are excited!

Everything, the past, the present, the future, and even my entire life, began to shine brightly!

"I'm going to fly higher, fly higher!

Dance like a gust of wind, break free from your embrace!

I want to fly higher, fly higher!

The wings roll up the storm, the heart roars!

 …”

again and again.

The loudest and most powerful part of Li Qian's voice pulled such a climax to a very high level, filled with an indescribable sense of tearing!

I don't know how many people have heard the scalp tingling!

The drums were loud.

Cao Zhan stood next to Li Qian again, exaggerating and acting like crazy.

Although this is not the solo of the bass, the bass and drums have completely overpowered the guitar. Of course, all of this is to set off the voice that shouts the strongest voice in life.

I want to fly higher!

Rock music started in China in the 1970s, flourished in the 1980s, and declined in the 1990s.

In the 1970s, it was still a grass-roots culture in China, and it was a niche thing for a small number of people. Even in the whole of China, there were only a limited number of people who knew that there was such a music category as rock music in the world, so the Spring Festival Gala did not have its share.

In the 1980s, it became popular all over the country. The Flying Band was even the top-selling music force in China, surpassing folk songs, folk songs, and sweet songs. But at that time, rock and roll could only survive on the cassettes of young people. In the value system of society, it is difficult to be elegant.

Therefore, the Spring Festival Gala continues to look down on it.

In the 1990s, as young fans gradually grew up, the whole society's understanding of rock music gradually became normal, and they began to be willing to give it a positive evaluation and recognition, but rock music no longer had its own representative power, so that Even if the Spring Festival Gala opens the door to it, it can't come up with a qualified band or a big enough work.

Therefore, the Spring Festival Gala and rock and roll continue to be insulated.

Finally, to this day, Li Qian, together with the four beauties, represented rock and roll for the first time on the highest and biggest stage in China - the Spring Festival Gala!

This is the relatively niche music category of rock music. For the first time, it has stood at the focus of all audiences, representing all rock music, and accepting the scrutiny, criticism and observation of every audience.

What Li Qian has in his hands is a rock music work that, in his opinion, is better than "Flying Higher", but from the very beginning, when he decided to accept the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala to take the stage, and began to record the second album of the four beauties, He had already made up his mind - it represented the first time that rock music, which has grown wildly in China for more than 20 years, was on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time to be reviewed by a billion audience. What he wanted to sing was "Flying Higher" "!

It can't be said that it has nothing to do with the hope of becoming popular, but when Li Qian chose this song, he really didn't include these things. He just wanted to present the most positive and positive part of rock music to the audience. audiences across the country.

Yes, rock and roll has the hustle and bustle of heavy metal, the hoarse shouting, and even the exasperated tyranny, and the gloom of a dead ash, but it also has an uplifting bright sunshine!

Life is like a big river, sometimes quiet, sometimes crazy.

Such simple and straightforward lyrics, to be honest, only speak of literary grace, it is by no means a good quality, but it is such a candid attitude that makes the whole song full of an indescribable sense of observation.

In this regard, "Flying Higher", which belongs to the category of pop rock, and "Once You", which is closer to folk rock, have seemingly different but actually flesh-and-blood emotional tones.

That is, every listener can find the living self in the song!

What they talk about, what they miss, what they look forward to, are all emotions that are universally applicable.

Therefore, "Once You" is so moving, so smiling and sentimental, and "Flying Higher" is so emotional and high-spirited!

"Fly higher,

Fly higher,

Fly higher,

 …”

In this cry, after such a long, almost exhausting, extreme explosion, the whole song finally came to the end in the agitated minds of all the listeners.

When the last note fell, there was thunderous applause.

The five people on the stage put away their instruments, and Liao Liao also put down the drum sticks and stood up. Then, the five people walked to the center of the stage, shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, and bowed to the audience in unison.

The applause at the scene suddenly became more and more enthusiastic.

The whistle sounded again.

Many people got up from their seats and stood up.

At this moment, even many people who didn't like rock music at first, but were slightly disgusted by the "riots" on the scene since the four beauties took the stage, also stood up subconsciously.

Therefore, for the first time in the history of the Spring Festival Gala, nearly 80% of the audience stood up and applauded.

Yes, among them, there are many people who have basically never listened to rock and roll before, and even many people, not only have not heard of rock and roll, but even resisted and disliked this kind of music in their hearts, and what's more, In the hearts of many people, rock and roll is completely equated with "men with long hair", "no three or four", "a bunch of hooligans", "smoking, drinking, fighting drugs, playing with little girls".

However, I have to say that, representing the genre of rock music, the four beauties who first appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and the two works they brought, really gave them the inherent impression of rock music in their hearts. Suddenly there was a great change.

The beauty contained in the blandness of "Once You", and the inspiring and pursuit of better spiritual power in "Flying Higher", made them suddenly feel that rock music, or it can be said, is the four beauties. , and their rock music, it turns out that it can also give people such a good feeling, and can also bring people such positive emotions!

Just for this, for the dazed memories and faint sentimentality just now, for the shivering and tingling feeling when I hear "I want to fly higher" The audience, who knew nothing or even harbored ill feelings, also stood up willingly at this moment and gave themselves the warmest applause.

Because, no matter how harshly you look at it, you have to admit that this kind of music, no matter what kind of music it is, is good music!

At this moment, in the thousands of households across the country, in front of thousands of TV sets, listening to the thunderous applause and whistles coming from the TV sets, watching the camera lens passing the captured image In the auditorium that stood up in unison, countless families suddenly became lively.

Some people are still reminiscing, still sighing, still immersed in the turbulent emotions just now, unable to extricate themselves, and because of this, their faces flushed and muttered to themselves; Chong is sighing loudly at the people around him; some people can't help but ask, is this the four beauties? Is this Li Qian? Did you see the title of the song just now? Was the song just now called "I Want to Fly Higher"?

Others grabbed their father's or mother's arm and shook it desperately, "Dad, Mom, I like these two songs so much, I want to buy this album..."

On the TV, the five members of the Big Four Beauty Band crossed their shoulders, bowed deeply for the second time, then took two steps back, turned and walked towards the end of the stage.

At this time, the applause is still continuing, the crowd has not yet sat down, but the host has stepped onto the stage, hoping to use a louder voice to attract the attention of the live audience, "Thank you, thank you, the four beauties, thank them for all of us What a wonderful performance! Then the following..."

Outside the TV, I don't know how many people there were, and couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

Some people said it at the time, but some people just couldn't help muttering in their hearts, "Why are there only two songs!"

The camera followed the backs of the five people until they finally walked off the stage and disappeared out of reach of the lights.

However, although their performance is over, the completed performance has not disappeared.

The performances, not even just in the shots, in a way, they ended, but from the moment they ended, the real savage growth began ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because from then on, they It has penetrated deep into the hearts of many people.

From tonight, rock music has entered the hall of elegance.

From tonight, rock music, in everyone's heart, will no longer be a music that means depravity.

Since tonight, the names of the four beauties have remained in the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers.

Since tonight, "Once You" has become a generation's favorite.

Since tonight, "Flying Higher" has become the most inspirational voice in the whole of China.
