Chapter 693 Concert Guest 1
Chapter 693 Concert Guest 1
'But the night hates the day'
……
Fate is too crazy / Every blink / is mysterious.
Chu Kong's emotional shifts from suppression to outburst were extremely strong.
The two men, one in black and one in white, looked at each other again, and their voices sang in unison.
'The pair of black geese in the backlight'
……
Pick a day
The interlude still features piano sounds and synthesizers.
The original version added the sound of wild geese calling, which sounded like a mournful cry.
Then electric guitars and drums will replace synthesizers.
But since this was a concert, the two made some changes to the song.
With a sharp bird cry, the two stood facing each other.
'Wu~oh~'
The chants gradually rose in pitch.
It almost drowned out the rousing electric guitar sound.
'Wu~oh~'
The electric guitar ensemble and the violin ensemble combined to create a more intense sound.
Their voices mingled once again.
'Bruising/bleeding under the skin'
'Despair within the cells / is crying out for justice'
The two, now playing in the same key again, still seemed to be in complete control.
The mixed voice technique was brought to its fullest extent, and the singing skills were textbook-level.
Lu Wanxing, in particular, possesses a bright timbre that makes his powerful mixed voice unparalleled in its penetrating power. No matter who he is singing with, he is an undeniable presence.
'Being whipped by fifty-three days of loneliness'
Before Chu Kong could finish his last word, Lu Wanxing responded with a high-pitched note.
'Wait for night to ask day'
……
……
Make a funny face with me
The two singers either sang together or each sang a line separately, their voices flowing seamlessly together.
It's like two people who already have a great understanding are just letting themselves improvise.
After a long note, the two singers raise the key again in the next section.
The alternating high notes of the two singers instantly pierced the eardrums of countless people.
'Calling out to the night to ask the day'
……
'Night kisses day'
……
Saying goodbye is less desirable than forgetting that you might see each other again.
'wu——'
'today'
At the height of their performance, the stage lights suddenly blazed on and focused on the two singers.
The two, singing with focused intensity, seemed to be radiating light.
Countless people felt their scalps tingle during the conversation.
It wasn't until the piano music, no longer somber, began to play and the two whispered to each other, ending the song, that everyone came back to their senses.
Immediately following was a flurry of cheers that gradually became orderly.
There were also excited screams from the fans.
"Ahhh, so handsome!"
"Chu Kong! Look here!"
"Lu Wanxing is so handsome!"
Lu Wanxing let out a soft breath, as if she had finally accomplished something important.
"Are you nervous?" Chu Kong asked.
“A little,” Lu Wanxing laughed. “Mainly because when we practiced privately, it didn’t seem like we were… emotionally intense? We didn’t sing with that much enthusiasm or enjoyment, so it might be hard to replicate in the future.”
"I feel the same way," Chu Kong agreed. "This means that this adapted version must be very successful. What do you guys think?"
He pointed the microphone at the audience, his eyes occasionally glancing at Lu Wantang below the stage.
"Yes!"
The uniform response sounded like a slogan.
It's clear that the fans were also very excited.
Lu Wantang gave two thumbs up with great tact.
"Are you all still wanting more?" Chu Kong asked again.
"Yes!"
An even louder reply rang out.
Chu Kong nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's sing the second song."
Lu Wanxing chimed in: "The song title is 'Keywords'."
Chu Kong: "This song was also written by Teacher Zigui. I personally like it very much. It's my new single that I'm listening to on repeat recently. I hope everyone will support it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three large characters "keywords" appeared on the big screen.
Upon hearing that it was a new song, the fans erupted in cheers.
Then the sound of an acoustic guitar appeared.
The piano and guitar sounds blend together, creating a simple melody.
It is a gradual build-up brought about by strings, which is very characteristic of Zigui's personal style.
Like the opening line of many stories, 'Once upon a time'.
Sometimes, no matter how many times you listen to it, you can't help but want to keep listening.
Moreover, these story-filled preludes are not fixed phrases like "a long, long time ago".
As the prelude ended, a clear voice rang out:
Love yourself well, and someone will love you.
This optimistic statement
'The look of happiness / It feels so real to me'
'Adjective not found'
The lyrics hit the mark right from the start, resonating with the listener.
The scene fell silent again.
Immediately following was Chu Kong's voice, slightly lower than Lu Wanxing's:
'Silence is concealing / an overflowing passion'
'Only auxiliary words remain'
There's a sense of security when you call my name.
Lu Wanxing's singing followed immediately:
'The position of fallen leaves / composes a poem'
Time is passing / Our story begins
The delicate and flowing words are like a beautiful modern poem, and when paired with a tune with a distinctly traditional Chinese style, it makes you feel as if you can see a landscape painting when you close your eyes.
This is the first time.
Let me see that love can be both generous and selfish.
'You are my keyword'
'wu~'
The two exchanged a glance, as if it were a signal, and naturally began to chant.
The incorporation of lyrical strings makes their singing sound like storytelling, and through the story they interpret their inner thoughts, infecting all listeners with their emotions.
I'm not quite sure/the best way to love.
'Is it a verb or a noun?'
I really want to tell you / my most naked feelings.
'But then he forgot the words'
The two singers' voices blended very well, their singing flowed naturally, and their duet was very pleasant to listen to.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people can only roughly distinguish between the two voices, and then judge who sings better or both sing well by whether they think it sounds good.
Lu Wantang, sitting in the front row, keenly noticed that Chu Kong's voice was even more moving when he sang this song.
Is it because his voice is a bit deeper, or because he is a few years older and has more experience?
She cannot make a judgment at the moment.
The chorus on stage continued.
'Parting and reunion are inevitable, as are tears and laughter.'
'I'm not afraid of the subtext'
There's a kind of peace of mind / that comes from knowing my name is in your heart.
Mutual affection and deep feelings between people bring a sense of security.
This is undoubtedly a popular love song.
The song's meaning, as the opening line suggests, is about revealing the balance between love and self.
'The position of fallen leaves / composes a poem'
Time is passing / Our story begins.
The falling leaves and the poem create a romantic and poetic atmosphere, foreshadowing the passage of time and the beginning of a love story.
This is the first time.
Let me see that love can be both generous and selfish.
'You are my keyword'
Generous yet selfish, this contradictory quality expresses the essence of love as both giving and taking; willing to give selflessly, yet hoping the other person belongs only to oneself.
This also confirms the status of the other party's 'keywords': important and unique.
