Chapter 725 "Stars" (5)
The song "Stars" is one of the masterpieces of Vitas, a famous singer in his previous life and known as the "Prince of Dolphin Sound".
At the beginning of the 20th century, this song took the Asian music scene by storm as soon as it was released. It held one world tour concert after another and became a smash hit.
After more than ten years, this song was adapted by singer Zhang Jie and sung on a music variety show, and became popular again.
After confirming to participate in the halftime performance of the "Asian Music Awards", Ye Zhiqiu chose this song.
Not for anything else, just to shock my Korean colleagues.
At the same time, performing this "hell-level" difficult song is also a challenge that Ye Zhiqiu actively seeks pressure and gives himself.
During the filming of "The Prequel of Sword and Fairy", he was unshakable and practiced vocal music for at least an hour every day to stay in shape.
But sometimes practice alone is not enough. This kind of stressful stage performance can stimulate your potential to the greatest extent.
The original lyrics of this song are in Russian. Ye Zhiqiu does not understand this language, so he used the version sung by Zhang Jie and adapted it into English and Chinese versions by writing the lyrics himself.
In the prelude, there is a melancholy singing voice that seems to be floating from afar, which was recorded by Ye Zhiqiu himself in advance.
As the accompaniment played on the stage, the atmosphere, which had been heated due to the previous singing and dancing performance, gradually became quiet.
——This should be a quiet, lyrical song.
all the listeners thought.
After the prelude, Ye Zhiqiu slowly raised the microphone.
【I don’t know how many times
I ask myself
Why am I born? Why do I exist?
Why are the clouds flowing and why the storm continues...]
Under the spotlight, when Ye Zhiqiu's clear and ethereal singing voice came out, almost all the viewers on the scene and on the screen were shocked at the same time.
It sounds great! And the sound is great!
In the audience, many singers looked in shock. In just the first sentence, Ye Zhiqiu explained why he was specially invited by the organizer to be this special guest.
Everyone saw that at the beginning, Ye Zhiqiu not only sang a cappella, but also used falsetto. Just this understatement made many singers at the scene feel numb.
Only people in the industry know how difficult this is, and this is a stadium with tens of thousands of people!
If you don't have absolute confidence in your own strength, who would dare to play like this...
Surrounded by deep blue lights, the stage has a quiet atmosphere, and the ethereal singing blends together. Everyone's eyes are firmly attracted to the voice in the center of the stage.
On the stage, Ye Zhiqiu's singing continued.
[But it’s not easy to reach the stars, even the nearest one
And I'm even more unsure whether my strength is enough...]
At this point, Ye Zhiqiu's tone is rising, and his emotions seem to be accumulating.
As the last line of the main song ended, the accompaniment and singing disappeared at the same time, and the entire stage fell into complete silence for a moment. At this time, the emotions in the singing seemed to have accumulated to a climax.
Something is coming, and the same thought flashed through the minds of all the listeners.
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Zhiqiu made the first move since he started singing besides holding the microphone.
His right hand was clenched and raised high.
Following this action, the next moment, a high-pitched sound that pierced the sky filled the entire audience.
【I will wait patiently
and prepare yourself
Set foot on the road that leads to my dreams and hopes
Don’t burn yourself out...]
Like a volcano erupting, it instantly released a flame-like extreme high-pitched sound, shocking everyone in the audience.
Many singers in the audience had shocked eyes. At this time, their mouths were slightly opened unconsciously, and their expressions were out of control.
Crazy! Absolutely crazy!
Also, what kind of fairy song is this!
At first I thought this was a sad, gentle song, but I was totally wrong...
This high note...was it sung by a human!?
In the audience, members of the MISSSIX girl group lightly covered their mouths with their hands and widened their eyes. Their expressions were not too indecent, but they were obviously shocked to the point of losing their beauty.
Cui Junyi, who had "q'd" Ye Zhiqiu a few minutes ago, and Li Chengshi on the side, had shock and disbelief in their eyes.
They expected to be invited as guests. Of course Ye Zhiqiu had a few tricks up his sleeve, but as the leader of the men's team with a higher reputation internationally, Cui Junyi was more confident in his own abilities.
And obviously, the scene before him far exceeded what he could have expected.
Who would have thought that this kid from China, who was so sad one moment, would turn against him like a tsunami the next second...
The two looked at each other, and Li Chengshi raised his chin slightly as a gesture. Cui Junyi was startled. Under Li Chengshi's unquestionable gaze, he gritted his teeth and nodded lightly as if he had made some determination.
Li Chengshi then retracted his gaze and looked at the stage again.
After the first chorus ended with a high note that shook the audience, before many of the audience could react, at some point behind Ye Zhiqiu, there were two children, a boy and a girl, on the stage.
At the end of the first chorus, the singing of the two children seamlessly continued.
In the clear and translucent singing, Ye Zhiqiu slowly lowered his right hand, closed his eyes, and shook his head slightly along with the melody as if enjoying it.
There are even children!
At the "Asian Music Awards" stage performances, there are many singers, but this is the first time for two children to sing...
The key is that the clean and pure children's voice is completely natural in the arrangement of the song's melody, without being abrupt at all.
Compared with the previous singing and dancing of groups such as "XFire", Ye Zhiqiu's song is like a breath of fresh air, or a strange one, giving people surprises one after another.
The audience at this time was completely stunned by Ye Zhiqiu.
To put it simply, it’s just two words.
advanced!
After the children's voice ends, the song enters the B section.
【No matter how far the journey is, I will never look back.
No matter how many mountains stand in my way, I will conquer it in order to find myself...]
