After Liang Xueying''s introduction, the audience were eager to be the first to see Xiao Yao''s performance. It''s a pity that Xiao Yao''s appearance sequence is very low. None of the singers in front of him is Xiao Yao, and he can''t satisfy the audience''s desire to see it first.
"The next competing singer will bring you a new original song." After the performance of Liu Youyuan, the fifth singer, Liang Xueying began to introduce the competitive repertoire of the sixth singer.
"Here we are at last!" The audience cheered. As soon as I listen to Liang Xueying''s introduction, I know that it''s Xiao Yao''s turn to be the next singer.
"When you hear this, you know who the next singer is, right?" Liang Xueying continued with a smile to the cheering audience, "of course, only one of our top six singers is left, except for him. The name of the song he brought is "zhumeng Ling", which sounds very ancient. As for what the song and the performance are like, let''s invite the next competing singer to have a look. "
Amid the applause and cheers, Liang Xueying stepped off the stage and stood in the open space in front of the audience, looking forward to Xiao Yao''s appearance with the audience.
The light on the stage dimmed down, and a figure appeared in the channel behind the backlight stage.
"Why?" Looking at the figure appearing in the passage, the audience made a startled sound.
Although she still can''t see her face and make-up, from this figure alone, whether it''s Liang Xueying, the live audience, or other singers and agents watching the live broadcast in the lounge, they can''t help but wonder if the person in the corridor is Xiao Yao. From the shadow of the backlight, the singer''s lower part of the dress is very long and wide. The hem even exceeds the ankle position and drags to the ground. It looks like a skirt. What''s more prominent is the singer''s head, which seems to have a very high bun. Xiao Yao is a boy with short and broken hair. From this shadow, it doesn''t look like Xiao Yao.
In the audience''s startled voice, the shadow of the backlight also slowly came out from the channel to the front of the stage. Looking at the figure walking posture, everyone''s suspicion is even greater.
Xiao Yao is a tall man. He takes a big step when he walks. He runs back from the stage for the second and third time. He walks very fast. Even as a kicking singer, his first appearance is slow. It''s just a slow pace, and every step is very open. But this time, the figure moved forward slowly with small steps, and with the steps, the whole body of the figure also swayed in a small range and rhythm, looking completely like a woman.
Finally, when the figure came to the center of the stage, the light on the top of the stage was still not on, but directly began to make preparations. Some staff moved the musical instruments and chairs to the stage, and then a dozen female figures walked up the stage from the rear side of the stage, or sat or stood behind the figure in the middle of the stage. And all the audience, including singers and agents, are still confused.
All the figures on the stage are still, indicating that the preparations have been completed and the audience is completely quiet. At this time, the light above the stage lights up, and we finally see the figures on the stage.
"Damn it! Is this Xiao Yao? " Many of the audience jumped up from their seats in surprise, and those who were still in their seats also held their heads in disbelief.
"My God Liang Xueying in front of the audience is also surprised to cover her mouth.
"Oh, I''ll go!" In the rest hall, after the competition, Hong Wei, who was watching the live broadcast, was so surprised that he bounced up from the sofa. He turned to Xiao Siqi and said, "Lao Xiao, is this your son?"
"I can''t tell from my face." Xiao Siqi said, "but we are all on the stage. This is not the Wei shile, is it? Also, have you forgotten his song "the new princess is drunk" in the final of "good voice"
"He turned half of his make-up into all his ancient clothes," Qin Xiaodong said in surprise. "Is he going to be a male actor and sing Beijing Opera on the stage?"
On the other side, Zhang Qiao and Liu Youyuan whispered something in their ears. Liu Youyuan also changed from a puzzled expression to surprise. His eyes, which were not big, became bigger and bigger. They were almost round!
"Is this the big boy just now?" Wei shile, who is still waiting in the room, also leaves the sofa and stands in front of the live TV, pointing to the TV picture and asking the people around him.
No wonder everyone is so surprised, because the one who appears in the middle of the stage at this time is the whole costume of Huadan in Beijing opera.
It''s an ancient Silk costume. The bright red coat is full of gold and silver embroidery patterns of flowers and birds. Looking up from the wide belt with arc raised in the middle of the waist, the upper part of the robe is a double breasted style. The open neckline reveals a moon white blouse with silver piping inside. The lower part of the skirt is not only wide enough to cover the whole foot, but also long tail It''s on the ground. The hair on both sides of the head is close to both sides, covering the whole ear. A bun with a length of more than 20 cm is combed on the top of the head. There are many exquisite headdresses hanging on the head and bun, which shows what is called "full head jade".The most characteristic is makeup. Snow white face is a red lips, turned into a willow leaf eyebrows, under the eyebrows is outlined a pair of Danfeng eyes, below the eyebrows, two eyes of the eye position covered with red, and from under the eyelashes began to fade.
With such a typical Huadan makeup on the stage of Beijing opera, people can''t see the original appearance of Xiao Yao. If it wasn''t for this stage and such a ranking, I believe no one would dare to say that the enchanting Huadan standing in the middle of the stage is Xiao Yao.
In the face of the audience''s crazy screams, Xiao Yao on the stage didn''t say anything, just nodded to the conductor Liu Tong on the side of the stage.
However, Liu Tong, the program music director and orchestra conductor at this time, did not react at the first time. Instead, he stared at Xiao Yao with the same big eyes as the audience on the stage. When rehearsing, they don''t wear makeup. Every singer rehearses in casual clothes. It''s also the first time to see Xiao Yao dressed like this. The orchestra conductor is a bit silly. They even doubt whether this one on the stage is Xiao Yao or not. Therefore, they are rarely absent-minded for a short time. Fortunately, Liu Tong soon recovered. Without a microphone, he coughed, raised his hands and waved down, and the accompaniment of the band began to ring.
The prelude starts with the sound of drum, dulcimer and guzheng, and there are also some piano and guitar sounds in the middle. However, on the whole, the two kinds of folk music are mainly dulcimer and guzheng. Ten seconds later, four beautiful erhu players sitting on the chair on the stage also move, and the sound of Erhu and big violin is added to the accompaniment, which is also the new voice Erhu is also a kind of folk music.
"There are both folk music and western music in the prelude. It seems that Xiao Yao has produced another song that combines folk music with modern music like new princess drunk." Hong Wei looks at Xiao Yao on TV and nods to Xiao Siqi. Although the TV picture is a close-up of Xiao Yao, Hong Wei, a professional singer, can tell what musical instruments are used in the accompaniment only by the prelude music.
The audience at the scene can see the actions of the musicians of modern musical instruments on both sides of the stage. Even if they can''t hear the differences between the accompaniment of various musical instruments like Hong Wei, they can see that Xiao Yao''s score combines modern Western musical instruments with traditional Chinese folk music. Many audiences also think that although Xiao Yao is completely an ancient costume of Huadan in Peking Opera, his performance is definitely not just to sing Peking Opera for everyone.
"Sandalwood leads through the window lattice, dark night comes, paper cutting remembers the silhouette. I can see that Xiao Yao''s hair is white, the story is rugged, his heart is not equal, and he says "destiny ~"
sure enough, when Xiao Yao began to sing the first main song at the beginning of the song, although he was as gentle as a girl, he still sang it in the original male voice.
"It seems that it''s really a song like" new princess drunk ", but the lyrics seem more ancient, like ancient poetry." Hear Xiao Yao this beginning of a paragraph, not less attention from Xiao Yao''s appearance to Xiao Yao''s singing people in the heart secretly nodded.
This is a song written by Dong Zhou and his old partner Fang Wenshan to Li Yugang, the original singer of the new princess drunk. The song is very similar to the new princess drunk in style, but in the lyrics of the main song, the words written by Fang Wenshan sound like an ancient word, which is more concise and ancient than the narrative lyrics of the new princess drunk Rhyme. Xiao Yao moved this song to the world, the melody and lyrics are unchanged, but in the arrangement and accompaniment, according to the configuration of "women''s music workshop", he added the music of Pipa and flute, which makes the whole song more folk music flavor.
"The dream makes the floating life half awake, who is fateful and sighs the fame of the city. When I came to the chorus part of the song, Xiao Yao, who used to stand still and sing, walked forward two steps. He held his chest up and put on a graceful gesture of Huadan in Peking Opera. His left hand cocked up an extremely enchanting orchid finger, and his mouth turned into a female Jingyun singing that imitated Huadan in Peking Opera, making the scene and the rest room more comfortable The audience got goose bumps.
"Wow ~" the audience who had already been prepared heard Xiao Yao''s Jingyun singing, they were all excited and gave out a lot of screams and cheers.
At the end of the first chorus, the song goes into an interlude. On the stage, Xiao Yao''s arms hang down, and his wide sleeves fall down to the ground. Xiao Yao raised his elbow with one hand, put his hand slightly behind him, and gracefully rotated on the stage. The two water sleeves also fluttered and swayed with Xiao Yao''s rotation.
"My God Looking at Xiao Yao''s classical dance when he was still playing interlude, the audience under the stage widened their eyes again, clapping and screaming like crazy.
"Sandalwood leads, window flower penetrates window lattice, dark night comes, paper cutting remembers silhouette..."
the second main song begins, Xiao Yao''s classical water sleeve dance also comes to an end, changing from graceful Huadan''s posture to the original relatively ordinary standing posture, and switching back to the original male voice in the tone of singing. It''s also at this time that the audience''s voice is slowly getting smaller.
"Emei frowns, sorrow is neighbor, fate is over ~ I midnight, tears full of Jin, don''t believe ~ I love autumn into the forest, but marriage is like leaves floating, and I hasten to find the past life ~"The lyrics of the two main songs and the chorus of Xiao Yao''s former "new princess drunk" are the same, while the lyrics of the first half of the second main song of this "dream chasing order" are the same as the first main song, but in the second half, they are different lyrics. The sentence structure and the number of words of this passage of lyrics are the same as those of the first main song, which are also beautiful, concise and like ancient words, reflecting Xiao Yao''s strong writing skills. This also makes the audience feel that Xiao Yao''s song sounds better than "new princess drunk". Whether in writing or singing, this song is like an advanced work of Xiao Yao''s songs. The audience also seems to feel Xiao Yao''s progress in this song.
"The dream makes the floating life half awake. Who listens to me, my heart will enter the piano. Once upon a time, silk and bamboo were light, but they were very sad ~ "
in the second part of the chorus, Xiao Yao incarnated into Huadan in Peking Opera, put up Huadan''s actions on the stage of Peking Opera, and once again changed his voice to imitate Huadan''s Beijing melody.
The goose bumps on the audience came back, and cheers and screams rang through the studio again.
After the second chorus, the song came to the final stage. Instead of changing into the original male voice, Xiao Yao continued to sing two chorus in Huadan''s Beijing accent. During this stage of singing, Xiao Yao walked around the stage while singing. A little more knowledgeable audience can see that Xiao Yao''s walking gait, posture and left hand movements are all slow version classic movements often demonstrated by Huadan on the Beijing opera stage. This is exactly the result of Xiao Yao''s special training with Mr. Mei Qingchang in Yanjing in the past week.
At the end of the stage, Xiao Yao, a Peking Opera actress, was excited. The applause and cheers almost never stopped, and the sound was still higher than that, which was almost like lifting the ceiling of the studio.
After the last sentence of the song, Xiao Yao has turned to face the audience, kneeling on the ground, head down, hands on the chest, and the expression on his face is heartbroken.
"Xiao Yao!"
"Xiao Yao!"
The lights on the stage dimmed, but the audience stood up one after another, raised their hands, clapped and yelled rhythmically.
"Thank you ~" the light on the stage lights up. Xiao Yao, who has stood up and faced the audience again, continues to thank the audience with Jingyun''s female voice. Then he moves his hands to his left chest, bends his right leg back, slowly bends his knees, crouches down and bows his head, giving you an ancient woman''s Wanfu ceremony.
Women''s voices and ancient women''s etiquette make the audience who think that the performance is over again in a trance, and then there are more cheers and shouts.
