"The Endless Sound" has officially come to an end.
Before I knew it, this Hong Kong Philharmonic variety show had aired eight episodes, and its cumulative views had exceeded 2.4 billion.
is popular, has ratings, and is controversial. Even though the main purpose of the program is to promote the Hong Kong Philharmonic, in fact it is promoting the Hong Kong Philharmonic non-stop. There are still viewers who love the Hong Kong Philharmonic questioning whether the program is consuming the Hong Kong Philharmonic and questioning whether the program is overplaying the nostalgia card. The latest long comment from Douban It reads, "The Hong Kong Philharmonic does not need to become a collective memory."
But the Hong Kong Philharmonic is a collective memory. This is a fact, and the fact cannot be denied.
When a variety show "hooks" the HK Phil's hearts among peers in the circle of friends, they miss every HK Phil golden song, and even miss their own HK Phil era. It can be the era of the four kings, or it can be The era of and Tan Zhang competing for the hegemony of can also be the era of New Hong Kong Music. It doesn’t matter anything. When a variety show does this, it is a successful variety show.
As for the future of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, its story and its destiny cannot be controlled by a variety show. The reason why people involuntarily substitute the fate of the Hong Kong Philharmonic into a variety show is precisely because the Hong Kong Philharmonic is too lonely. But what this program should do is, in fact, it couldn't be simpler. It is to provide a few more wonderful stages and a few good songs for those who love Hong Kong music and those who will love Hong Kong music.
In the Sigong stage that just ended, judging from the results, the Keqin team, which was once overpowered by the women's team, finally counterattacked and defeated the Miriam team.
's three golden songs also went to the men's team. "Real Man", a collaboration between Lin Zixiang, , Magic Flash and Mosaic, won the Best Chorus Golden Song Award, and Hacken Lee 's "Lovers in the Rain" won the Best Solo Golden Song Award. Award, the golden song chosen by the audience is also Hacken Lee's " red sun ".
But at least to me, this result is actually unimportant. What is really important is that the moment the whole audience sang "Red Sun", I felt the moving power of the Hong Kong Philharmonic again.
Hong Kong happiness is like life, "Even if your destiny is ups and downs, even if your destiny is twists and turns, even if your destiny is threatening you, if life is boring, don't shed tears. It's sad, and you shouldn't give up. I want to be with you forever in my life."
When music variety shows collectively failed, even the stage of "Lang Jie 3" was questioned as not what it used to be. How could "Continuous Sound" be unique?
Just this moment on the stage is moving.
1, Ye Qianwen all sang "Lover's Confidant" to this extent, why did they still miss Li Jian's "Flowers in the Water"?
"The Sound of Life" is good at everything, but the program rules are too confusing.
Judging from the results, the last game was the home court of Team Keqin. "Love" sung by Ye Qianwen, Zhou Bichang and Yan Mingxi beat "So Close So Far" by Hacken Lee and Shan Yichun. Li Jian, Min Lee, 's powerful combination defeated Zeng Bit, who fought alone. "Real Man" sung by seven men beat Rainie Yang 's solo, Zhou Pakho, , and Lin Xiaofeng's "We Grew Up Like This" "" defeated Miriam Yang 's "The Last Rose".
Generally speaking, those who sing in chorus are better than those who sing solo, and those with more people beat those with fewer people. When
arrived at this stage, it turned into a "Solo Collaboration Melee" started by 18 groups of singers, a 1V1 showdown in 9 rounds. To be honest, the level of this game is quite high. From my personal perspective, it is second only to Ergong who contributed to "Bicycle" in the first round.
Keqin team's lead Pakho Chau sang Nicholas Tse 's " hits with one hit".
When I wrote this song, Nicholas Tse's music was at its most powerful. He was never as lighthearted as he is now, and the song also carried a fire.
Zhou Baihaosheng sang this fire.
The entire stage design is a combination of water and fire. As soon as Pakho Chau opens his mouth, he is full of youthful ambition and is on fire.
The young man has nothing to hinder, and he sings about a vast sea and sky, no matter whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of war, the young man just keeps moving forward. The fire on the stage, the water splashed by Pakho Chou's feet and the waves of the song complement each other, and the atmosphere is majestic and distorted. Combined with the great stage scenes, the one-hit-and-miss landscape allows the ambition to be released from the pressure and become more enlightened.
Originally, I was not very optimistic about Zhou Pakho being "recommended" by TVB, but this performance made me change my attitude. He is qualified to stand on this stage.
Rainie Yang and Anqi , who were dueling with him, unexpectedly sang " is willing to replace you " by Ekin Cheng , which is also an interlude in "Young and Dangerous 3: Covering the Sky with One Hand", and was sung by Chen Haonan and Little Stutterer love story.
Audiences of this generation most know Ekin Cheng as the man who monopolized the most exciting special effects in the Hong Kong film era, but few know that he was actually a frequent guest at the Hong Kong Philharmonic's major award ceremonies during his peak period. The most golden songs are still from the "Young and Dangerous" series.
In "Young and Dangerous 3: Covering the Sky with One Hand", Little Stutter was shot to death by Zhang Yaoyang 's character. When Hao was holding Little Stutter's body, this song played, so this song is actually about his lover. Leaving, only the corridor of memories remains.
Rainie Yang and An Qi cooperated very well. The dancers danced beautifully with the emotions in their songs. The two actresses were also beautiful and sang the lingering emotions of the song, "It seems like heaven and earth are choosing me." With you, just like me, I have met life and death again. I have no choice but to say goodbye to you with tears and heartache. I can't let you take your place at this moment." It seems that I hope that the singing will make all my regrets go away, but the more I sing, the more I can't let go.
The only flaw is that the female chorus is actually not the best combination to interpret this song, and the two voices are very similar. Even if the two voices blend together well, it is still difficult to sing the despair in the song. With a hint of romance.
However, in the end the two of them defeated Pakho Chau.
The duel between Shan Yichun and Zhou Bichang is a real strong showdown.
Shan Yichun, who sang "Love for You", was in good condition. She collaborated with Hacken Lee on Jacky Cheung 's classic song "So Close So Far". Whether it was the control of rhythm, melody, or the mastery of word pronunciation, he was able to advance and retreat freely.
In her personal stage, her low singing and low singing are still moving, her breathy voice is wrapped in love, and as the stage lights ripple, there is a beautiful artistic conception of holding a child's hand.
But Zhou Bichang's "Half of You and Half of Me" is more groundbreaking.
Zhou Bichang, who is known as the Hong Kong Philharmonic's own person, does have her own opinions on the Hong Kong Philharmonic. She won half the song selection in this competition. She chose the Queen of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Peng Ling, who has been on par with Faye Wong and Sammi Cheng "Half of You and Half of Me".
Most viewers who have listened to Peng Ling's " Prisoner Bird " thought that she was a traditional Hong Kong Philharmonic singer. In fact, she sang punk style songs in her 1999 album "A Flower", using music to tell the story of female power. This song.
Zhou Bichang has always been good at singing powerful songs. With the rhythm of the songs, Bibi danced heartily on the stage, and the rock style full of "la la la la" overflowed, as if there were springs under his feet, and as soon as he stepped on the floor, he was passionate Rock waves are like waves rolling in.
As soon as the atmosphere at the scene started, I knew that the winning side was already on her side, and sure enough, Zhou Bichang won.
The most anticipated showdown in this game is undoubtedly the ultimate battle on the stage - Ye Qianwen vs. Li Jian.
Since this was the finale of the match, both teams sent out singers with the highest winning rate in the team. The singer with the highest winning rate on the Keqin team was Li Jian, who had never lost in individual battles.
Ye Qianwen from Team Qian Hua is even more powerful. She competed 4 times and won all of them. She is also the only undefeated singer among the 16 groups of singers.
She is still the biggest killer move to restrain the big devil Lin Zixiang. The characteristics of Lin Zixiang's participation in "The Sound of Life" are: he has never lost when meeting others, and he has never won when meeting Ye Qianwen. played against Ye Qianwen twice, once in a single duel and once in a duet of his own "Dare to Love, Dare to Do", and lost both times.
In this performance, Ye Qianwen sang her golden song "Lover's Confidant". As soon as the melody was played, the audience recalled it. The Mandarin version of the song was " Make Me Happy and Let Me Worry " sung by Zhou Huajian.
In fact, Stephen Chow is also a good singer in Cantonese songs. He has sung all the most difficult Cantonese songs and the most difficult to recite sutras. I wonder if "The Everlasting Sound of Treasure Island Season" can invite the big devil to come out.
Back to Ye Qianwen, this song talks about the dilemma between friendship and love. The confidant is already a friend, the lover has not yet become a lover, and moving forward and backward are all entangled. When singing this song, Ye Qianwen was in a new relationship with Lin Zixiang, so this song was particularly touching.
But many years later, when I sang "You and I have become close friends, we may never fall in love, but I'm afraid we can't foresee it", the song surpassed the hesitation in love back then and added a sense of after all the sails have passed. The song is light and breezy, and what it sings is the sudden enlightenment of "walking together is the best, whether it's a lover or a confidant".
Ye Qianwen became the big devil in "The Sound of Life". Naturally, she has the right to be a big devil. She is definitely not a queen, but has extraordinary strength that combines the weight of time, the presentation of technology and the emanation of feelings. After singing this song, I You will feel that you don’t need to listen to the rest of the song, Ye Qianwen has already won, because it is difficult to lose if you sing to a level that breaks through the classic original version.
did not expect that she would suffer her first defeat. The loser was Li Jian who continued to sing Mandarin.
Since Li Jian participated in the show, some netizens complained about his non-standard pronunciation. Sangong collaborated with Miriam Yeung. Li Jian rapped the Mandarin version and there were definitely people who criticized him. Others criticized him when singing in Cantonese. He might as well sing a version that he felt comfortable with, so he sang the Cantonese song "City Mark" in Mandarin. After
was released, it was even more impossible for Li Jian to go back. This time he sang "Flowers in the Water" which has a Mandarin version and was sung by Alan Tam on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
If singing skills were to be compared, Li Jian would definitely not be able to beat the accomplished Ye Qianwen. would win because of his unrivaled popularity among the audience and his excellent arrangement.
Before I even started singing, I invited Lin Zixiang to recite "Huanxi Sand", which was like adding the finishing touch before finishing the song.
After the violin and piano accompaniment, the audience heard the difference as soon as Li Jian's clear voice came out. Li Jian slowed down the melody. The original song of
itself has a very strong oriental classical flavor, the lyrics are as beautiful as prose, and the melody has the simplicity and elegance of ancient poetry. What
sings is that the most unforgettable thing in the world is, the beauty of the beauty in the mirror, the beauty of the flower, the beauty of the tree.
Li Jian's arrangement injects his personal understanding into this Hong Kong music's pinnacle of Chinese style. The helplessness of the flowers in the water is diluted a bit, and there is a bit more relief of the past, but overall it is still the original song. Taste, the whole song flows slowly from the stage, sad but not sad, like flying flowers falling.
If the original song is about helpless flowers falling away, flowers in the moonlight in the mirror, then what Li Jian sings about is how many prosperous dreams are like flowers flying into the heart.
In "Our Song", Li Jian and Alan Tam once sang "Legend in the Water" which is a combination of "Legend" and "Flowers in the Water". I believe Alan Tam will also be satisfied with this version.
2, Hacken Lee deservedly won the best of the game, but he is still the best in my heart.
However, the best song in this game did not come from this peak showdown, but from the "" of and Huang Kaiqin " selected by Hacken Lee. Lovers in the Rain".
Let me sigh first. Huang Kaiqin is also an underrated Cantonese singer. Most viewers have only heard of his " Late Autumn ". In fact, he has many golden songs that are very classic. Hacken Lee also deliberately chose the classic singing of this veteran singer, which also recommended the Hong Kong Philharmonic from another level. Isn’t the Hong Kong Philharmonic the Hong Kong Philharmonic’s unpopular good songs?
This song is also adapted very wonderfully. The intro is Hacken Lee's own "Deep Deep", the interlude includes two lines of an English song with the sound of falling rain, and the end is another masterpiece of Huang Kaiqin's " Sad Lover " 》.
But the key thing is Hacken Lee's singing, which brings it all together.
Some people have always said that Hacken Lee's singing is like a walking record player, but what he lacks is emotion. But it also depends on what is being sung. The reason why this song is so beautiful is because of Hacken Lee's singing, and you can hear his intention - not just technique, but singing the deepest beauty of Cantonese songs.
Especially the high note in the last paragraph, I really think it is beautiful. The feeling of vulnerability and submergence is the pain of a desperate move, but also the moving feeling of a sudden glimpse.
If Hacken Li was successful in the past by being consistent and stable, then this time he was successful in singing the most touching moment, bringing every listener into the real rainy night, and letting the drizzle fall. The listener's shoulders.
This Cantonese song is full of chops and confusion. It cannot be sung by anyone but a top master, and Hacken Lee is that top master.
But in fact, Cantonese songs also have an extremely inspirational side, and the person who brought Cantonese inspirational singing to a peak is also on the scene -
Of course it is Lin Zixiang.
Actually, when I first started participating in the show, I was a little worried because Lin Zixiang's condition in the first show was not that good.
Unexpectedly, this 70-year-old man became more and more courageous as he sang, and his condition has returned to its peak in these games.
Lin Zixiang has returned to the top, who dares to say that he can beat him?
's last game was the most classic. He kept sending warm Mosaic and Magic Flash to his opponents, and directly packed them up and asked Lin Zixiang to lead them.
It would be difficult to replace anyone else. Lin Zixiang is one person who can support two people. Everyone was worried that "Real Man" would be a flop, but unexpectedly he sang the best song on the show.
The audience thought this was arranged by the program team, but when they saw the feature film, it was Lin Zixiang who took the initiative to invite Mosaic band to sing "Real Man", and suggested adding Magic Flash because they have rap.
A true master is to inspire younger generations. The Hong Kong Philharmonic is what it is today because of masters like Lin Zixiang. How he supported new singers like Andy Lau back then is the same today.
In this scene, Lin Zixiang sang " Who Can Understand Me ", Zheng Guojiang 's classic work, which I haven't seen for a long time.
In fact, He Jiong also said that this old inspirational Hong Kong Philharmonic golden song, will this audience still like to listen to it?
But as soon as Lin Zixiang opened his mouth, I knew he was going to win. It wasn't that was not easy and was not good at increasing bits, but that Lin Zixiang was just a dimension reduction attack. How many people can make He Jiong, Wang Zulan, , and Shan Yichun all cry?
This song is touching, because the control of the voice, the temperament of the song, the meaning of the work and the stage performance are all integrated with each other. Lin Zixiang's sense of rhythm and sentence fragmentation fully present Zheng Guojiang's works, which is both powerful and sincere. , the eyes, posture, voice, and emotions have all truly entered the song, and it's hard not to be touching.
Many people think that singing inspirational songs with high spirits is enough. This is why so many inspirational songs are not impressive at all, because without loss, there is no rise. Without loss, how can there be counterattack?
But Lin Zixiang sings all the losses and gains in life into his songs.
He said that this song was originally sung to himself, but now he wants to use this song to sing to young people, "Take the road ahead boldly to chase your ideal journey and move forward step by step with confidence, no matter how hard the wind or rain, you will not give in."
It seems that all the ups and downs in life are sung into this night, which is enough to move people. Who would have thought that at the end of the song, Lin Zixiang closed his eyes and kissed the audience affectionately. This is no longer just a singer, but artist.
Art touches the soul directly.
3. Why does "The Sound of Life" seize the traffic password? Because it sings the love and meaning of the Hong Kong Philharmonic
In the context of the overall downturn in the music market, "The Sound of Life" has encountered controversy, but it has generally won a win-win situation in terms of reputation and ratings. What is its traffic password?
My answer is that there is no traffic password at all, or in other words, a good song is its traffic password.
Even if the arrangement is indeed flawed, it still contributed to the most classic stage with the most music variety this year. This is enough.
So far, "Unconditional", "First Love", "With Love", "Half Moon" and "Dancing Street" and "Lovers in the Rain" have won the Best Solo Golden Melody Award.
"Best Losing Friend", "I Want Your Love", "Dare to Love Dare to Do" and "Real Man" won the Best Collaboration Golden Song Award.
"Boundless Sea and Sky", "Thousands of Songs", "Hello in the World", "Next Stop Queen" and "Red Sun" won the Audience Choice Golden Melody Award.
Not only the magical couple of Lin Zixiang and Ye Qianwen let the audience know the power of classic Cantonese kings and queens, but also new generation singers such as Zeng Bit, Yan Mingxi, An Qi, Shan Yichun, etc. also shined through the program.
From the bright lights shining on Zeng Bit, and his cheerful dance appearance, the audience knew that a new generation of Cantonese singers had already emerged.
In addition to these selected golden song stages, there are also many regrets.
For example, in "High Mountains and Low Valleys", three girls, Miriam Yang, Zhou Bichang, and Shan Yichun, performed this song with almost no flaws.
How can "Bicycle" by Lin Zixiang and Zeng Bitit not be worthy of the annual stage?
Compared with the variety show itself, these stages and these golden songs seem to fly over mountains, lakes and concrete forests in the empty and deep time and space of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, flying over the loneliness and coldness in the lives of so many listeners, all the way through time and space. At this moment, just like Karen Yeh sang in the episode "Drunken Life" of "The Two Heroes", "No matter how slim my expectations are, hope can make me step into the future."
Why is the Hong Kong Philharmonic so moving? Not just the lyrics, not just the melody, but so many powerful singers who have sung their lives into the melody, singing "The heart is dejected while running around, the road is full of twists and turns, and one day I want to go back but it's too late." .
also sang "No matter where I go, the dream in my heart will not change. It is rebirth and awakening. The dream will always be in the world."
This is also the meaning of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, just like the song "Red Sun" that was sung by the audience at the end of this performance. No matter how ups and downs life goes, it has accompanied countless you and me through countless nights.
Life is like the moon above your head. Life is full of ups and downs, but no matter what happens in life, the persistence and companionship of countless nights is probably the charm of the Hong Kong Philharmonic.
Just one note and one lyric will make you feel that life is just like this. I cried and laughed tonight, and when I get up tomorrow, I will still "use singing and laughter to win the appreciation of my close friends."
If you can sing the love and justice of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, such a variety show is certainly worth it.
