Chapter 812: Singing
After a brief narration introducing Lu Qing's next performance, Jiang Yuan left the stage.
Some fans at the scene had been looking forward to Lu Qing's appearance for a while.
This time, as a performing guest, Lu Qing will bring the first stage of the album's pre-release song at Jiang Yuan's concert. The news that this is also the first time the pre-release song will be released has already begun to circulate on the Internet.
The venue has also been equipped with special photography equipment to record Lu Qing's performance, and will release the official live video after the concert for promotional purposes.
The stage lights went off and on again, and between light and darkness, the singer standing in the center of the stage had changed.
Lu Qing was wearing a performance costume that was very unique to him: a black leather jacket with a floral shirt underneath, which was exactly the combination that Lu Qing had liked since he was young.
For example, the concept of Lv Qingxin’s album this time is quite similar to the previous one, or it continues the style of the previous one, and the main design concept is still retro.
As soon as Lu Qing came on stage, the audience burst into warm cheers, showing the enthusiasm that one should have towards a guest.
Lu Qing had seen such a grand occasion before, but being welcomed to this extent at other people's concerts still made Lu Qing smile unconsciously.
He smiled and waved to the audience, but quickly focused his attention on the guitar in his hand, ready to perform.
In Lu Qing's latest album, part of the tracks were composed by Lu Qing himself, while Jiang Yuan provided the songs for the other half of the album.
In the end, the song chosen to be performed as the album's pre-release song was a very classic piece provided by Jiang Yuan.
"Existence", Wang Banbi's representative work, also has many popular cover versions.
Jiang Yuan also felt that this song was quite suitable for Lu Qing to sing.
As Lu Qing took a deep breath, the name of the song began to appear on the big screen. His fingertips pressed on the strings, and the singing officially began.
"How many people are walking, but are stuck in the same place,
How many people live as if they were dead."
As soon as Lu Qing started singing, her voice touched the hearts of many listeners.
The fans present basically held an objective perspective on Lu Qing's performance, and now they calmed down and listened attentively to Lu Qing's singing.
"How many people love, yet seem to be separated,
How many people are smiling, but their eyes are filled with tears"
In the opening few lines of the song, Lu Qing's voice sounded relatively slow. As he grew older, Lu Qing's singing also carried a sense of storytelling that was difficult for others to imitate.
This kind of charm is used just right in this song.
When Lu Qing was singing, the stage design also moved along with the song.
A stick-drawn animated version of the MV made specifically for the song was playing on the big screen, matching the song like a series of exclusive illustrations.
At the same time, the place where Lu Qing was standing was also a rotating device in the center of the stage.
In order to allow the audience in different directions to see the front during the performance, the small stage on which the singer stands will slowly rotate during the performance so that the singer can sing towards different audiences.
“Who knows where we should go?
Who understands what life has become! ? "
As the song progresses, from the soft singing at the beginning, it gradually becomes more passionate and carries more abundant emotions.
"Should I find an excuse to continue living?
Or take flight and stay angry."
As Lu Qing played the guitar as accompaniment, his voice began to become higher and higher. Also because of the decline in vocal function due to his age, there was a more tearing tone in his singing.
"How should I exist~!"
Lu Qing sang the last sentence of section A. After finishing this sentence, the other musicians in the band started at this moment.
The drum beats sounded, and Lu Qing did not stop playing the guitar. Other instruments also joined in the accompaniment to enrich the interlude.
The stage lights instantly turned golden, and the entire stage, viewed from space, looked like a golden cube.
Such a scene at this moment, coupled with the interlude, gives people a brilliant feeling, and the emotions are immediately pushed to the right place.
The ultimate sound effects on site also made the audience unconsciously sway to the rhythm and enjoy the music.
For a moment, the audience had a hallucination of the quick transitions in the movie, and the content of the song itself also made the listeners think, and their emotions surged for a moment.
The interlude lasted about half a minute before the mood of the music dropped and Lu Qing began to sing the second part of the song.
"How many times have I been honored, yet felt humiliated,
How many times have I experienced ecstasy, yet suffered so much pain"
After the passionate interlude, Lu Qing's singing remained unaffected. He still followed his own rhythm and his output was very stable.
"How many times have I been happy, yet my heart is broken,
How many times have I been brilliant, yet lost my soul."
As Lu Qing sang, he obviously immersed himself in the emotion of the song.
When Lu Qing first heard this song, he liked it very much. He felt that on the one hand the song expressed the sense of impermanence in life, while at the same time the lyrics were asking how one should exist.
But this kind of melody and the power of the singing bring with it a sense of firmness that can be well conveyed to the hearts of the audience, which makes Lu Qing feel fascinated.
At the moment, the fans at the scene were listening to Lu Qing's singing attentively, and it was obvious that they were deeply immersed in the singing.
A line of lyrics may not seem to have much meaning at first glance, but after reading it carefully, it can leave a deep impression in your heart.
Every word in the verse part of the song can resonate with the audience, and at this moment, it creates a connection with the audience.
"Who knows where our dreams should go?
Who understands what dignity has become?"
In the second part of the song, the accompaniment becomes richer, and the emotions conveyed by Lu Qing's singing become more turbulent.
There is already a roaring tone in the singing, and the line "How should I exist" is sung again, although the lyrics and melody are the same as the first paragraph.
But the listening experience conveyed to the audience is completely different. Based on this sentence, each listener has his or her own unique feeling.
Some people were impressed, while others simply admired Lu Qing's singing.
After the second part of the song ended, the song entered the interlude again, continuing an upward trend.
After an interlude ended, Lu Qing started singing the next part.
The bright lights on the stage swept across the audience, and everyone suddenly felt like they were watching a live version of a music competition.
In the last part of the song, Lv Qing was also trying his best to control his emotions. It was the first time for Lv Qing to perform the song "Existence", and he was quite excited. If he was not careful, he would easily overdo it.
Fortunately, the last part of the song also requires more extroverted emotions.
Therefore, some minor distortions in this section do not seem to be a big problem. After all, Lu Qing has a good grasp of the scale of distortions, which are just at the point where they are a little bit broken but not completely broken.
However, after Jiang Yuan changed his clothes backstage, he couldn't help but sweat when listening to this part.
After all, it is the first performance of the song. It would not be good if the voice breaks too badly.
Fortunately, Lu Qing managed to keep the singing going in this section.
"Do you want to find a reason to go with the flow?
Or move forward bravely and break free from the cage.! ! "
By the end of his singing, Lu Qing was already in a roaring state, and this kind of singing was extremely able to touch the hearts of the audience.
Many audience members' hearts trembled violently at the scene.
After this sentence, the music stopped and the whole audience fell into silence for a moment.
During this pause, the sound of breathing could be clearly heard at the scene. Lu Qing also took a deep breath and sang the last sentence.
"How do I exist!"
After the last note was sung, the music started again and the lights continued to flicker. At this time, Lu Qing was holding his guitar and looking around the scene, breathing slightly.
The finale lasted brilliantly for a while before it was time for the curtain call.
After the performance, Lu Qing bowed to the audience and expressed his gratitude.
At this time, fans at the scene also gave warm applause to express their love for the performance.
A new song that can immerse the audience in listening carefully and resonate with it is itself a demonstration of the singer's strong ability.
After Lu Qing expressed his gratitude to the audience, Jiang Yuan also reappeared on the stage at this time.
When Jiang Yuan appeared on the stage, wearing a new outfit, the fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim.
It was a completely different voice from the one Lu Qing heard when he was standing on the stage.
Hearing the noise at the scene, Lu Qing couldn't help but look back, and saw Jiang Yuan appeared behind him through the lift platform.
However, as for Jiang Yuan's outfit, I had already seen it during the rehearsal, so I didn't react much.
For the fans at the event, all of tonight’s costumes were seen for the first time, which kept the feeling very fresh.
In addition, Jiang Yuan's new outfit was also quite visually impactful, making everyone exclaim involuntarily.
Speaking of which, Jiang Yuan's current outfit looks somewhat similar to Lu Qing's.
She was wearing a shirt printed with complex flowers. Sunflowers, blue roses and other brightly colored flowers appeared on the white shirt like an ink painting.
It's definitely not an outfit that's suitable for normal street wear, but it's very appropriate for magazine shoots or concerts like this.
After Jiang Yuan took over, he handled the role very well, and it was also very suitable for the fiery atmosphere of summer in the next chapter.
After the fans at the scene reacted, Jiang Yuan stood beside Lu Qing and started chatting with him.
"Welcome Brother Lu Qing to our Chapter 1.5!" Jiang Yuan raised the microphone to welcome him.
Led by Jiang Yuan, the fans at the scene once again cheered enthusiastically, causing Lu Qing to smile and wave his hands.
"I still remember that during the last tour, Brother Lu Qing also served as our guest performer in some of the shows."
"Now, the performing guests have also been reserved in Chapter 1.5." Jiang Yuan said and made a little joke.
Hearing this, Lu Qing also nodded, "Yes, compared to the last round of tours, I think the atmosphere on site is still just as hot."
"But the slightly different thing is that this time, Brother Lu Qing brought some works for everyone." Jiang Yuan listened to what Lu Qing had to say and gave him a break again.
The official video on the side was still being recorded, and was also preparing for Lu Qing to promote his new album.
These had all been arranged before the concert began, and Lu Qing understood what he meant and immediately introduced them.
“The song we just performed, “Existence” is”
As he spoke, Lu Qing began to talk about his understanding and thoughts about the song.
The audience had just finished listening to this piece of music, and when Lu Qing talked about it, they were more willing to learn more and seemed to understand it quite well.
"This first song will be released soon." Lu Qing said, and also announced the official release time of the song.
"If you have time, you can listen to it more often." Jiang Yuan also played the role of a supporting actor and helped promote it.
After introducing the pre-release song, it is inevitable to introduce the entire album that Lu Qing is going to release, which is also the introduction part of the performance.
"This album has some similarities to the last one. Jiang Yuan specifically said that the name of the album cannot be announced yet."
“But just like ‘The 1997’, this is an album produced by Jiang Yuan.” Lu Qing said, and the fans at the scene immediately let out a “wow” sound.
Apparently because of Jiang Yuan, I also listened to Lu Qing’s previous album a lot.
"Yes, but this time I was quite busy, so more of the work was done by Brother Lu Qing and our music director Deng Ge." Jiang Yuan took over and spoke modestly.
“Because there is a live video recording, I can also tell Brother Lu Qing’s fans that the concept design of the album is still based on the retro theme.”
Jiang Yuan looked at the camera and helped introduce the album, after all, it was an album produced by his own studio label.
After the brief introduction, Jiang Yuan and Lu Qing looked at each other and began to introduce the next song.
"Just like the previous album, we still have duets in this album." Lu Qing said, causing cheers from the audience.
"Yes, the new song to be performed today is not just a pre-release song." Jiang Yuan followed up.
At this time, the staff on the stage also quickly made some preparations before the performance, and microphone stands were placed in front of the two people.
"The name of the song is very suitable for our clothes." Lu Qing said, taking off his jacket and revealing the floral shirt underneath.
Jiang Yuan also plugged the microphone into the microphone stand in front of him and followed Lu Qing to complete the song announcement, "Flowers"
