Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 551 "Seven Friends"!
Liu Jian used to be so high-spirited.

He who stood by Li Zhifan back then was arrogant and domineering.

But today's Liu Jian is indeed quite depressed, and fate has dealt him a heavy blow these years.

After Xue Jingfei's plagiarism incident, all relevant personnel were fined. Both Xue Jingfei and the producer Zizi were imprisoned. Liu Jian was also sentenced to six months in prison. After he was released from prison, he was removed from the position of music director of Golden Emperor Entertainment.

After sitting idle at home for a year, Liu Jian formed a band with a few friends. They are all uncles. He plays the guitar in the band. He just released a Cantonese album in the middle of the year, and he is still popular on the ground in Xiangjiang. , but can only accept some performances in China.

The possibility of entering the mainland is not impossible, but every member of this band has reached a certain age, and everyone wants to be safe. They are content to be able to make a living in Xiangjiang and support their families. become too busy.

This time I came to the Christmas carnival not because of how popular their band is, but because of the contacts they have accumulated over the years.

What's more, the local Christmas carnival held in Hong Kong must of course support local musicians and Cantonese songs that are about to disappear, so the organizers are also willing to give them this opportunity.

But he didn't expect Li Zhifan and Liu Jian to meet on this occasion.

In fact, when Liu Jian came, he knew that he would definitely meet Li Zhifan today, so he walked cautiously, evasively, and even wore sunglasses, but Li Zhifan still saw him.

The moment the two looked at each other, Liu Jian hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Li Zhifan's gaze, trying to divert his gaze.

Lin Feng, the lead singer of the band on the side, knew about Liu Jian's affairs, and immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing? Why are you afraid of him? This is our territory. Keep your spirits up and use us on stage later." The music proves itself!"

Liu Jian was silent for a moment, and then said: "I still remember what he said back then, Chinese music is the most important thing! Yes, if I insisted on creating at that time, at least I created it internally, and Xiao Hai was not encouraged to copy foreign music. , nothing will happen later, and Feifei will not go to jail!"

"Feifei will come out in another year. Don't worry. When she comes out, you can tell her with your grades that we have not been in vain all these years!" Lin Feng glanced at Li Zhifan's direction, and then said, "This is Xiangjiang , Our songs are in Cantonese, which is the most cordial to most of the audience, so as long as the atmosphere and momentum are up, it’s not a problem to overwhelm him.”

"This……"

is it possible?
Liu Jian smiled wryly, but under Lin Feng's encouraging eyes, he still nodded: "Okay!"

……

Carnivals are the same as music festivals, each guest has at least 10-30 minutes of time, and those who can sing for 30 minutes are all big names, like Li Zhifan, originally 30 minutes, but because they carry K2M, and K2M performance time is also counted In these three 10 minutes, so calculated, he only had 25 or 6 minutes.

The band is still Chaoyang Park, Zhang Yao and others came three days ago, but they are not guests, so they went backstage with Liu Zexin earlier, and now they are resting in the car in the backstage parking lot.

Seeing Liu Jian, Li Zhifan didn't know what capacity he was participating in, so he arranged for Liu Zexin to inquire.

Liu Zexin glanced at Liu Jian's direction, and immediately got up to ask the host.

After a while, Liu Zexin walked back and said, "He is now the guitarist of the Tiannan Band, and the Tiannan Band also participated in this carnival, and they performed just before you!"

"The previous one?" Li Zhifan narrowed his eyes, "Such a coincidence?"

"Coincidentally?" Liu Zexin said, "You are performing at ten o'clock, so they are the hot spot in front of you! Every hot spot guest in this carnival will sing Cantonese songs arranged by the organizer, and the organizer wants to support it. "

Under the general trend, Cantonese songs have shown signs of decline. Even if a musician in Xiangjiang writes a very good song, the first thing they do is to find a great lyricist to write the lyrics in Mandarin, and then recommend it to a big-name singer to sing.

Cantonese songs now only have two forms. One is the product of planning. For example, if the company plans to release a Cantonese album to a Cantonese singer, it will first find a lyricist to write the Cantonese lyrics, and then contact the composer to compose the music, or choose from those selected Find a similar song from the rest of the score, and hand it over to the lyricist.

There is another form, like Tiannan Band, who write their own songs and lyrics. Their work direction is to serve the local performance market, and serve the opening and ending songs of Hong Kong movies, so they only write songs in Cantonese.

But they also expect their songs to become popular, because once they become popular, there is a great chance that they will be picked up by big-name first-line artists to fill in Mandarin lyrics for cover songs.

"Well! I see!"

Li Zhifan thought for a while, stood up and said, "I'll talk to Zhang Yao and the others, and I'll be right back."

"Go ahead, think about what you need to prepare, and don't fall off the stage." Liu Zexin instructed.

"I know!"

Li Zhifan walked to the parking lot at the back and saw Zhang Yao and Xu Ming smoking cigarettes and chatting with several musicians at the same time.

Seeing Li Zhifan, Zhang Yao hurriedly stamped out the cigarette butt, walked up and asked, "Has the plan changed?"

"Yeah!" Li Zhifan nodded, "Let's talk in the car."

After working together for so long, the few of them had formed a very high tacit understanding. Li Zhifan must have something to do when he came here now. The biggest thing should be a change of plan.

There are several reasons for this change, one is that the time has changed, and the other is that the content of the song has changed.

Although I don't know which one it is, since Li Zhifan admitted it and came to look for it in person, it means that the matter is quite serious.

But after getting in the car, Li Zhifan said: "I just adjusted the song order, the original "Seven Friends", put it first!"

"Okay! But...why do you want to change?"

While everyone agrees, questions remain.

Li Zhifan said truthfully: "Because the one in front of me is Liu Jian, the one I told you about, the former music director of Golden Emperor Entertainment."

"It's him? How did he become a singer?" Xu Ming asked curiously.

"Not a singer!" Li Zhifan explained, "He's a guitarist in a band, and now he's formed a band, which seems to be only active in Hong Kong, and only sings Cantonese songs!"

"Understood!"

Zhang Yao smiled, "Zhifan, don't you still hate him now?"

"Remember what you hate!" Li Zhifan smiled calmly, "To be honest, if I hadn't met him today, I would have forgotten about this guy, but I will sing a Cantonese song after them, which will definitely arouse the amazement of the audience. I want They have this reaction."

Zhang Yao nodded and asked Li Zhifan, "Are there any other changes?"

"No, it's cold today, put on your coat when you go on stage, don't catch a cold!" Li Zhifan opened the door and got out of the car.

"The temperature isn't that cold, it's cold in the capital!" Ye Bei waved her hand and handed over her scarf, "If you're afraid of the cold, I have a scarf here, do you want to wear it!"

Before Li Zhifan could speak, Xu Ming teased, "Forget it, he's going to wear this scarf back, and my sister-in-law might be jealous!"

"That's right, then I won't give it!"

"You really..."

Li Zhifan smiled, but also had nothing to say.

……

Backstage.

After Li Zhifan came back again, it was already nine o'clock, and the carnival activities officially started.

After the host grandly introduced the event, it was already 20 minutes later that he began to invite the first guest to come on stage.

Tonight, there are only two important guests at [-]:[-] and [-]:[-]. Li Zhifan is at [-]:[-], and at [-]:[-] is Chen Yilei, who just won the Golden Music Award for Best Cantonese Male Singer.

If it was Chen Yilei before the Golden Sound Award, his level is not high enough to perform at this point, but it is precisely because of winning this award that his resume in the industry has suddenly become more beautiful, and his level has also been raised to a higher level.

At this moment, Chen Yilei was not in the background, after all, he only came on stage at midnight, so he probably was either resting at the hotel or eating and drinking at a nearby night market stall.

Nine forty.

The Tiannan band left the backstage and went to prepare.

Before leaving, Liu Jian couldn't help but glanced back at Li Zhifan, his dark eyes revealing resentment, but after only a quick glance, he quickly turned his head and left with the team.

Li Zhifan also glanced at him casually, but even when he saw his eyes, he didn't take it seriously.

When they took the stage, Lin Feng, the lead singer on the stage, shouted in Cantonese: "This is Hong Kong! Cantonese is our home field! Drive away everyone else! Come on! Let us roar!"

As soon as the Chinese language falls, it is exciting heavy metal rock music.

Although it is said that rock and roll is immortal, the rock and roll style of the Tiannan Band has really become an old-school music style. Like the pop music of the 80s in the last century, it has been unable to attract a new generation of fans.

However, the audience is also divided into age groups. They still have an audience. Those stubborn, old, and conservative locals in Xiangjiang are their fans, but most of these fans are because of "Cantonese" itself, and very few of them are Because of the genre.

……

"Zhifan, you should get ready!"

When Tiannan Band sang the first song, Liu Zexin reminded Li Zhifan.

"Ok!"

Li Zhifan stood up, "Where are Zhang Yao and the others?"

"Already notified, they went directly to the stage to prepare, and they will not come in!"

Liu Zexin said, "It's cold outside, put on a coat!"

"No need!" Li Zhifan waved his hand, "You look at the time, after about 20 minutes, let the two of them go to the backstage to prepare, and you can't be late if you are one step ahead."

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Liu Zexin put the coat in his hand back into the bag, watched Li Zhifan walk out of the backstage, and just sat down.

stage side.

Zhang Yao and five people have arrived.

"Are you ready?" Li Zhifan walked up and asked.

"That goes without saying!" Xu Ming curled his lips, "It's only a piece of cake, our hope is your national tour."

"Haha, easy to talk about!" Li Zhifan grinned, feeling bitter in his heart. It seemed that many people around him were also looking forward to this concert, but he was too busy to spare time, but it seemed that it should be put on the agenda.

Nine fifty-five.

Zhang Yao took the band members to the stage to start preparations.

Li Zhifan also picked up his custom-made exclusive microphone.

The performance is seamless, with a maximum of 1 minute, so there must be no mistakes in this instrument. The tuning has been tested as early as yesterday, but at this moment today, it still needs to be tested again.

Nine fifty-five.

The Tiannan band finished their performance and left from the other side of the stage.

Li Zhifan walked onto the stage under the dark lights and walked directly to the front of the stage.

There are 15 meters between the stage and the audience, and there are three rows of fences, just to prevent the audience from rushing up and causing accidents.

Li Zhifan stood at the edge of the front of the stage. At ten o'clock sharp, the moment the piano sound fell, he took a deep breath and got ready to sing.

After the prelude, a beam of white light hit Li Zhifan from behind, and his voice followed:

"For her, I forced myself to talk about love again!"

"Break up again to get to know people!"

"If it is difficult to get back together, let go as soon as possible, and let go of everything!"

"Again, you can still love yourself without a lover!"

"Forget or feel sorry for yourself!"

"Stop laughing and say that sinking into those bitter seas will be harmful!"

The moment he sang, the audience was stunned——

"Cantonese?"

"Li Zhifan sang this..."

"Wow! Such standard Cantonese!"

"It surprised me that!"

"When did he learn Cantonese?"

"Isn't Li Zhifan from the capital? Even many Xiangjiang singers don't have such standards?"

There is no background screen on the stage, so the lyrics can only be heard.

If the Cantonese pronunciation is not accurate, the audience in the audience must not understand what he is singing, and they have to think about it, but the time of a song is limited, only a few minutes, and each sentence is very fast and dense, it is impossible to let him sing. people think.

But at this moment, at least in the ears of all local audiences in Hong Kong, they can clearly hear what Li Zhifan is singing.

However, Cantonese is also divided into Hong Kong and Cantonese and Cantonese in the Mainland. Cantonese is different in each place in Guangdong, Guangxi, and there are audiences from other cities in the Mainland, so some people can't understand what Li Zhifan is singing, but this part tonight People make up only a very small part.

……

"Because I'm strong enough to use my pain to convert it into love, so that I can't worry about her!"

"I can't remember that I also have the right to love!"

The stage lights suddenly came on, and Li Zhifan raised his head in an instant, and took a few steps back toward the stage. His left arm was wide open, and his right hand was holding the microphone in front of the stage. From a distance, it looked like he was embracing the audience with his left hand.

And the chorus part also sang from his mouth in the next moment:
"Who ever took care of my feelings!"

"Be gentle with me, kiss my wound!"

"The consolation that can be obtained is that the lovelorn is grateful to the loyal dog after being rescued!"

On the side of the stage, the Tianan band, who had just left the stage and hadn't returned to the backstage, were all shocked. From the moment Li Zhifan spoke to now, they finally realized that this guy can really sing in Cantonese!
And it's extremely standard Cantonese, not the kind of Cantonese with a slight foreign accent that I have only learned for a few months or even a few years.

This kind of articulation is very clear and full of breath, which is not something that ordinary Cantonese singers can achieve at present. Even if Chen Yilei comes up, he will definitely lose to Li Zhifan.
