Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

“I woke up and slept in the moonlight. The waning moon makes me miss you.

I don’t want to wake up, who will understand. I’m afraid that when I open my eyes, you’re not here…”

Li Wen, wearing a snow-white dress, stood on the stage and sang "Moonlight Lover" emotionally.

Her body movements were extremely coordinated, and her singing style was a combination of Chinese and Western styles. When she sang the song the second time, she switched to English and had an impromptu chant at the end, which brought out the whole song to its fullest.

After the song was over, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and the five mentors were all amazed.

This is the last group match of the fourth season of "The Voice of China", which will determine who from Zhang Guorong's team will be qualified to perform on the stage of the peak night.

The four mentors of the fourth season of The Voice of China are Zhang Guorong, Lin Zixiang, Huang Zhan and Zhang Qingfang.

Both Zhang Guorong and George Lam were mentors in the first season. George Lam served for three terms, while Zhang Guorong was a mentor for the second time.

He was originally planning to retire after one term, but he regretted it and wanted to go on stage every day.

Zheng Donghan fooled him by saying that becoming a mentor didn't count as regretting his decision because he hadn't made a comeback, so he came.

It's good that you're here. After taking this step, it's only a matter of time before you make a comeback.

Since The Voice of China is very popular in Taiwan, there must be Taiwanese singers in the mentor lineup. Last season, Luo Dayou himself was the mentor.

Among the local Taiwanese female singers in the 1990s, the most powerful ones were probably Chen Shuhua and Zhang Qingfang.

Chen Shuhua is a "mama's girl". She has to bring her mother with her even when she goes on a date with a boy, and she can hardly live independently without her mother.

Later, her mother died unexpectedly, and she became autistic, locking herself in the house and never going out again.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Shuhua to be a mentor, but Zhang Qingfang is not only a good singer and very popular, but also a host, so she is very suitable to be a mentor.

As for James Wong, although he has a hoarse voice when singing, his musical quality is absolutely top-notch and his speech is very humorous, making him very suitable to be a mentor.

Yang Ye had previously agreed to be Zhang Guorong's dream mentor. Because of the Olympics, he went to Europe and the United States for a tour. He returned to Hong Kong two hours before the recording of the group stage began, and finally made it in time.

George Lam said: “CoCo, you sang the song “Moonlight Lover” in both Chinese and English today, and added the impromptu singing afterwards. You have a lot of ideas in your arrangement.

Maybe it’s because you grew up abroad, your previous performances were dominated by European and American singing techniques, with less Chinese elements.

But today, you combined European and American singing techniques with the graceful oriental singing style, making this song present both national and western characteristics, which is great!

The original author of this song is here today, so I won’t comment too much, but I really feel that this song is tailor-made for you!"

George Lam gave a very high evaluation, Li Wen bowed and said: "Thank you, teacher!"

After George Lam finished speaking, it was the turn of another mentor, James Wong. James Wong had a very good relationship with Yang Ye, George Lam did not dare to comment, but he did.

James Wong commented: "In my mind, the Chinese singer who sings English songs the best is always Leslie.

But now there is one more person. CoCo, you and Leslie becoming master and apprentice is a perfect match.

As for the song "Moonlight Lover", when commenting on it, we cannot avoid the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" does not have the heroic spirit of other martial arts films, but has deep humanistic connotations and was very popular in the United States at the time.

Because it showed Americans a social norm from the East, which caused them to think deeply.

The song "Moonlight Lover" is used to interpret the connotation and meaning of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

It expresses the deep and forbearing waiting, the implicit and strong love, and the original intention of never regretting until death in the movie. The soundtrack is majestic and the composition is deeply touching.

Your singing style is very unique and your performance is very soulful. It expresses a person's persistence and regretlessness in love. I agree with Lam that this song seems to be tailor-made for you."

Zhang Qingfang commented: "CoCo, your singing today was both passionate and restrained, and it appropriately expressed the complex emotions in the song. It not only made people feel the warmth and beauty of love, but also made people experience the pain and helplessness of love. You used music to tell everyone a poignant love story."

The three mentors praised the contestant to the utmost.

When it was Zhang Guorong's turn, he said, "CoCo, today should be your best performance in the past few months. The three mentors have praised you too much.

Here I would like to point out some shortcomings in your singing. When you were entering the song, your voice trembled a little, which shows that you were very nervous and had emotional fluctuations.

I have always believed that your singing is very mature, and it shouldn't have happened like this today.

Fortunately, you adjusted yourself immediately, and your singing got better and better, and you gradually got into the groove.

Uncle Chan praised you for singing English songs well, but he didn’t mention that there is a problem with your pronunciation in Mandarin.

Of course, this is understandable because you were born in Hong Kong and grew up in the United States.

Your Mandarin is already great, but you can still improve!

As for this song, big brother, you tell me about it!"

Zhang Guorong waved his hand and the camera turned to Yang Ye beside him.

Yang Ye thought for a moment and said, “When we create Chinese-style songs, we often use the traditional Chinese pentatonic scale, which is Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu.

What about the song "Moonlight Lover"? Although it is also a Chinese-style song, it does not follow the pentatonic scale. It was derived from the original soundtrack in the movie and the folk song sung by Xiaohu.

Today I want to say that when I was shooting "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I was heading straight for the European and American markets, so when I was composing the music for the movie, I also borrowed some techniques from European and American pop music.

Several mentors today said that the song you sang is a very good combination of Chinese and Western elements, and I think so too.

Your life background determines that your singing style is very international, which happens to perfectly match the original intention of creating this song.

If I could have met you eighteen years ago, I would have let you sing the theme song of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

"Wow!"

There was an exclamation from the audience because the original singer of this song was Teresa Teresa.

Yang Ye personally certified that Li Wen is more suitable for the song "Moonlight Lover" than Deng Lijun. This evaluation is too high, even a bit of flattery.

However, Coco Lee's singing was indeed amazing, and the audience was mesmerized by it. Since the author of the song personally certified it, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Amid the applause, Li Wen bowed to Yang Ye and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, thank you Sir Yang!"

Huang Zhan laughed and said, "You mean, Coco is more suitable for you than your wife?"

Yang Ye said helplessly: "Hey, please don't drive recklessly in public places, okay?"

Huang Zhan was familiar with Yang Ye and knew what he meant by driving. He curled his lips and said, "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you so anxious? I mean, do you think Coco is more suitable for this song "Moonlight Lover" than Teresa Tang?"

Yang Ye nodded: "Of course Lijun sings very well, but in terms of the concept when this song was originally created, CoCo is very suitable."

"You openly say that other women are good. Are you ready to go back to the washboard?"

Yang Ye snorted disdainfully: "Who's kneeling on the washboard?"

"So tough?"

"Now is the computer age, I kneel before the keyboard!"

"Hahahaha!"

Yang Ye immediately backed down, and even suggested a novel way of kneeling on the keyboard, which made the crowd laugh so hard that they almost choked.

The show went on in a cheerful atmosphere.

Among Zhang Guorong's group of students, Li Wen's strength is undoubtedly the most comprehensive.

With strong singing skills, varied music styles, a healthy image, and excellent singing and dancing skills, he won first place in the group without any suspense.

On the stage, the host announced that Li Wen had received a ticket to the "Peak Night" and would represent Zhang Guorong's team to compete with three other contestants for the annual championship at the Hong Kong Coliseum's 10,000-person concert. Amid warm applause, Zhang Guorong walked onto the stage and hugged Li Wen to celebrate.

Several other mentors also followed and Li Wen happily hugged each of them.

When she hugged Yang Ye, she could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears with a "wow".

This happened so suddenly that the host, the four mentors, and the audience were all stunned. They didn't understand why Li Wen suddenly became so excited and lost her composure.

Zhang Qingfang, who was standing by, whispered to Zhang Guorong, "She should be a fan of Jazz, right? That's why she's so excited?"

Zhang Guorong nodded. This was the only explanation!

Yang Ye gently patted Li Wen's shoulder and said softly, "Don't cry, don't cry!"

Li Wen raised her head from Yang Ye's shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Can I tell you something?"

Yang Ye nodded: "Okay!"

Li Wen shrank her nose and said in a trembling voice: "Eighteen years ago, in Hong Kong.

There was a two-year-old girl who was born with a defect in her left leg and could not walk normally.

Her mother took her to the hospital, and the doctor said she needed surgery to correct it, but the cost was very high and her mother couldn't afford it.

Moreover, the success rate of surgery is very low, and even if it is done, it may not necessarily improve the condition, unless you can go to a large hospital in the United States, where the conditions are better.

At this time, an uncle came to the hospital to visit his injured friend. The uncle was a very nice man and he donated a large sum of money to the hospital.

When the dean accompanied him to visit the patients, he discovered the little girl and learned about her condition.

He decided to help her, so he took her to the United States, to the best hospital, and asked the best doctors to perform surgery on her.

The operation was successful. After a long period of rehabilitation training, the little girl learned to walk again and she was reborn.

She thought that she couldn't let down the kind uncle and her healthy left leg, so she told her mother that she wanted to dance.

For more than ten years, she has been living hard and dancing to her heart's content.

She fantasized about appearing in front of that uncle one day and dancing the most beautiful dance for him. "

……

Li Wen quietly tells the story of a little girl's new life.

Her tone was slow, deep and touching.

The people around her and the audience in front of the TV all knew that what she was talking about must be herself.

It would have been fine if it was just the people at the scene, but when it was broadcast on TV, the story was accompanied by soft music.

In front of the TV, many housewives were quickly infected by Li Wen's emotions and wiped away tears along with her.

Lin Chunjiao leaned on Zhang Zhiming and watched TV, sighing: "She is so good now, she can sing and dance, thanks to that kind man. You say, that kind man...could it be Young Master Yang?"

Zhang Zhiming said affirmatively: "If not, why would Coco say it in front of Yang Juxia?"

Lin Chunjiao sighed: "Young Master Yang is really kind-hearted! If Young Master Yang hadn't saved her, she would have had a very hard life, right?"

Zhang Zhiming nodded: "She was quite lucky. She met Yang Juxia and was sent to the United States for surgery. Most people don't have the ability to save her even if they want to."

Lin Chunjiao asked, "Tell me, it's been eighteen years, does Young Master Yang still remember this incident?"

"Although the operation was expensive, it was just a drop in the bucket for Yang Juxia. He probably forgot about it long ago!"

"Oh, I really hope he still remembers her!"

Li Wen finally finished her story. She looked at Yang Ye and asked carefully, "Do you still remember me?"

Yang Ye gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said softly: "Of course I remember, you are Xiao Meilin!"

……

"Wow!" Lin Chunjiao jumped up excitedly, pointed at the TV, and shouted excitedly to Zhang Zhiming: "He remembers her! Oh my God, he remembers her!"

In front of the TV, countless viewers were amazed by this wonderful fate.

A sick little girl was given a new life because she was rescued by a kind person.

From then on, she carried her beautiful ideals with her and eighteen years later, she stepped onto the stage of "The Voice of China".

She won the group championship after overcoming all obstacles, and at this time, she reunited with her savior.

This scene is so touching and tear-jerking.

In the dormitory of Baiyang Company, Mo Wenwei was watching TV and finally realized it.

"I said she almost cried when she saw the Lord. It turns out that the Lord is her savior. That's too good to be true. No..."

Mo Wenwei was originally happy for Li Wen, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because she and Li Wen are both favorites to win this year's Voice of China.

If Li Wen and Yang Ye have such a connection, then the champion of this session... wouldn't it be Li Wen?
However, Mo Wenwei was only worried for less than a minute, and immediately smiled in relief: "I really thought too much!"

Yang Ye himself had been a mentor on The Voice of China, but he only came in fourth place with Elva Hsiao that year.

Yang Ye couldn't even win the championship himself, so how could he help Li Wen win it?

Perhaps the more likely possibility is that, because Yang Ye wants to avoid suspicion, Li Wen will lose the opportunity to win the annual championship.

But, it’s hard to say. Yang Ye didn’t care too much about the opinions of the outside world when he did things.

"Oh, there are so many people with connections this year!" Mo Wenwei sighed.

Suddenly, Li Wen and Yang Ye appeared to be old acquaintances.

The champion of the Huang Zhan team is called Zheng Zongji.

This authentic Ji has an even bigger background. He is actually the son of Zheng Donghan, the president of Baiyang Records, and the authentic prince.

When Zheng Zongji came out to participate in the competition, it caused a sensation.

However, the person in charge of Star TV said: "We will not avoid relatives or enemies when recommending people from within the family. Zheng Zongji's musical talent is obvious to all. We guarantee that he will compete fairly with other contestants."

He even brought up the fact that Yang Ye had failed to bring out a champion in the past to shut everyone up.

Although this incident made many contestants dissatisfied, Zheng Zongji was indeed quite capable. As soon as he started singing, everyone shut up.

The singing is so beautiful!

Mo Wenwei was sighing when the phone rang. She picked up the receiver and heard Zhou Xingchi's voice.

"Karen, come to my house and watch a movie with me!"

"Okay, what are you looking at?"

""effort"!"

Mo Wenwei couldn't help but sigh, thinking, is it really that good? You must have watched it at least twenty times! (End of this chapter)
