Chapter 97 "Fireworks Easily Cold"

"Fireworks Easily Cold" was written by Fang Wenshan, arranged by Huang Yuxun, and composed and sung by Jay Chou. It was included in Jay Chou's 2010 album "Cross Era".

And won the "Annual Golden Melody Award" at the 2010 BJ Pop Music Ceremony.

The story background of this song is taken from "Luoyang Jialan Ji" written by Yang Xuanzhi in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The story tells the story of a general who was ordered to garrison Luoyang City during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Liu Song Dynasty.

While guarding Luoyang, he met a woman in the city.

The two fell in love at first sight and became privately engaged for life.

Not long after, the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded, and the general was ordered to go out. When he said goodbye, he took the woman's hand and said, "When I return after victory, I will marry you..."

The two said goodbye reluctantly. The woman stood guard at the gate of the city, watching the general galloping off to fight, gradually disappearing...

The war lasted for several years, the war was chaotic, the situation was turbulent, and the city of Luoyang was reduced to ruins in the war.

The woman had no hope of waiting for the general, and finally she was ordained as a nun in Jialan Temple.

When the general returned from the battlefield and found the ancient Jialan Temple where the woman became a monk, she had already passed away.

People told the general that there was a woman waiting for him here.

This is a poignant story, all integrated into this song.

Because of this story, this song has another name, called "Jialan Rain".

…

Many singers have covered this song.

Among them, the version sung by Lin Zhixuan in "I Am a Singer" has a deep and rich voice texture, which is very nice to hear.

Lin Zhixuan's singing skills can be ranked among the top in the Chinese music industry. It is said that he can record songs in the recording studio over and over again.

Because he sings live at the same level as in the recording studio, he is even ridiculed as a singing machine without emotion.

In addition, Zhou Shen also sang this song in "Flowing Song". The high pitch is ethereal and clear, and it is worth listening to.

This time the performance stage.

In order to show the characteristics of Lu Ming's voice, Fang Xing merged the two versions.

In the second chorus, the version sung by Zhou Shen is added as the high voice part, sung by Lu Ming.

In the live broadcast screen.

The lights dimmed.

The program staff pushed the stage props onto the stage.

Fang Xing's team of six people stood at various locations on the large props.

The prelude of "Fireworks Easily Cold" sounded.

The spotlight shines on Shao Yu, and the special effects of the big screen and stage props are combined to present an ancient temple.

Shao Yu stood at the gate of the ancient temple and sang the first line of the main song:

"The sound of prosperity escapes into the empty door and disturbs the world.

"The dream is cold, and a lifetime has passed, and there are many love debts.

"As you acquiesce, life, death, withering away, etc.

"Waiting for one round, another round of growth rings..."

Immediately afterwards, Guo Keda walked across a wooden bridge, took over the melody and sang the second half of the main song:

“If the pagoda has several layers broken, whose soul will be broken?

"The pain went straight to a broken lamp and a collapsed mountain gate.

"If I wait any longer, history will turn around.

"When the wine is fragrant, I'm waiting for you to play a guzheng song..."

At this point in the melody, there is an accent, the tune rises, and it enters the climax of the chorus.

Fang Xing raised the microphone and sang with a magnetic tone:

"It rains heavily, and the vegetation in my old hometown is deep.

"I heard that you are always alone.

“The mottled city gate is surrounded by old tree roots.

"What echoes on the stone slab is, wait a little longer..."

In the second half of the chorus, Li Wenbin and Hu Chenglin joined in.

Fang Xing led them to harmonize with his inclusive tone.

The multiple harmonies and the sound are rich and powerful, like bursts of bells and drums, reverberating in the audience's cochlea.

"It rains heavily, and the vegetation in my old hometown is deep.

"I heard that you are still guarding the isolated city.

"The sound of the herdsman's flute on the outskirts of the city fell in that wild village.

"The fate took root because we..."

The song isn't over yet, it's just the end of the first chorus and an interlude.

The audience gasped at the same time and wanted to cheer, but were worried about ruining the artistic conception of the song.

The audience watching the live broadcast opened their eyes wide and listened attentively.

The barrage of troll netizens began to flood the screen:

【Why is there no high-energy warning? 】

【Why didn't anyone remind me to wear Sennheiser?】

【This song is so nice!】

[Professional verification, high quality A4, perfect vocal score, explosive tone. 】

【This artistic conception is amazing!】

[Okay, you don’t need to sing the rest. I won’t listen to it. I’ll play this song again.]

[This is embarrassing. Wu Junchen still wants to appear in the finale, but he is stepping on the curb.]

[Are you too anxious? Can't you at least wait until this song is finished? Haven't you noticed? Lu Ming hasn't spoken yet.]

[Really, Lu Ming was sitting in the pavilion with stage props and didn’t even open his voice from the beginning to the end. 】

【If this is the case, I have already had a premonition of something.】

【High energy warning!】

[Every department puts on headphones and prepares to withstand the impact!]

In the barrage of high-energy early warning.

The song enters the second chorus.

As the audience expected, the melody rose again.

Lu Ming stood up and began to sing the high-pitched chorus.

When Guo Keda was rapping for the last part, Lu Ming joined five groups of super high-pitched singers, and his singing voice soared into the sky: "Ah..."

Then, the song entered the last section, and the accompaniment became lighter, fully revealing the singer's voice.

"The sound of the herdsman's flute on the outskirts of the city fell in that wild village.

"Fate took root, it's us.

"Fate took root, it's us.

"Listen to the sound of rain in Jialan Temple and look forward to eternity."

After the whole song was sung, the scene remained quiet.

Because the audience was so fascinated by the performance, they were worried that if there was more to come later, shouting would affect the entire performance.

It wasn't until Fang Xing waved to his teammates and bowed to the audience together that thunderous applause broke out.

At the same time, live broadcast barrages also broke out:

【It sounds so good!】

[I thought "Chi Ling" was good enough, but I didn't expect this song to be so good. 】

[This song is not only nice to listen to, I find the lyrics even more beautiful. It should be telling a poignant story. When will Fang Xing reveal the background story? 】

【The lyrics, music and singing are simply invincible.】

[What Fang Xing said before is indeed correct. After "Fireworks Easily Cold" is sung, it doesn't matter whether the other teams sing or not. 】

[Fang Xing is just too ruthless, how can the people behind him sing? 】

[That’s right, what was the front group singing about? Why did I forget it? The back group... doesn’t need to come out. 】

[Who decided this proposition? Let Fang Xing throw out this kind of bomb, or two at a time.]

[Isn’t it a tailor-made proposition given to Fang Xing by the program team? 】

[It’s OK. Chaoyin Culture is the sponsor of the program, and it also has the right to operate a limited group. I don’t believe this proposition without Chaoyin Culture’s involvement.]

[I’ll give you a few keywords, search and you’ll know the inside story. Chaoyin culture, Li Yucheng, ancient style singles.]

The barrage started to quarrel.

Some conspiracy theories believe that the proposition is fishy and that the program team is favoring Fang Xing.

Some netizens feel that the proposition chosen by Chaoyin Culture was still submissive.
Chapter completed!
