Entertaining Children

  Chapter 462 SingMeToSleep

Seeing Xiao Yao, who was wearing a hat and mask, stood in front of the DJ stage, Gong Chen took a small step forward and raised the microphone in his hand to his chest. The audience knew that this was the beginning of the performance, so it was slow. Slowly fell silent.

  It is different from four violinists and one cellist when performing "faded" on the electronic music program, and a piano was also placed on the scene. For tonight’s performance of this song, there are only two people on the stage, Gong Chen in the front and Xiao Yao in the back. Although the previous version of "SingMeToSleep" also has a violin accompaniment version, Xiao Yao also intends to make this song a string version like "faded", but for the debut of this New Year's Eve party, Xiao Yao was prepared purely. Electronic version.

   Xiao Yao watched the scene calm down, and reached out and started to operate on the midi keyboard in front of him. There is another difference between this new song tonight and "faded", that is, the prelude of this song is so short that it almost feels like there is no prelude. With the sound of the music, Gong Chen almost immediately began to sing.

   "WaitASecondLetMeCatchMyBreath, RemindMeHowItFeelsToHearYourVoice..."

In the beginning of   , Gong Chen’s voice still has a slightly sad taste. Many of the audience had heard of "faded", so when Gong Chen spoke, some of the audience felt a touch of deja vu. At this time, the audience was still relatively quiet, feeling the ethereal voice of Gong Chen attentively.

  "YourLipsAreMovingICan\'tHearAThing, LivingLifeAsIfWeHadAChoice..."

  Like "faded", the beginning part of this song is also four sentences, and it is also accompanied by a relatively single piano sound, but this time there is no piano at the scene, and the sound is played by Xiao Yao using the midi keyboard to simulate the piano tone. From the fifth sentence onwards, Xiao Yao stretched out a hand and began to operate the pad in front of him, and also began to add an electronic melody to the accompaniment.

  "Anywhere, Anytime, IWouldDoAnythingForYou, AnythingForYou..."

   "Yesterday, GotAway, MelodiesStuckInsideYourHead, ASongInEveryBreath..."

  But this song is not the same song as the previous "faded" after all, except for the different lyrics and melody, the mood of the whole song is also different. The whole song of "faded" expresses a state of confusion and searching, but from the fifth sentence of the song with the accompaniment of electronic melody, Gong Chen’s singing lyrics and her expression appear more determined. The harmony and strength also allowed this song to start to lift the spirits of the audience.

  "SingMeToSleepNow, SingMeToSleep, Won\'tYouSingMeToSleepNow?SingMeToSleep..."

After all, this is the stage of the New Year’s Eve party, not the scene of a pure music competition program, so when the chorus part was sung, Gong Chen no longer just stood quietly on the stage and sang, but walked around on the stage. Get up and start interacting with the audience. As she slowly approached the audience and made interactive actions such as waving her hands, the audience who had started to get excited with the melody and rhythm of the song were no longer quiet and began to wave to Gong Chen on the stage.

After the chorus part was sung, Gong Chen, who just walked back to the middle of the stage, put down his right hand holding the microphone in a larger motion, and at the same time, gently jumped and turned, bent over and lowered his head, and waved his left arm down. At this time, the accompaniment matched her movements with a very fast-paced electronic drum beat. As she finished this action, her jumped body fell to the ground, and a particularly heavy drum beat sounded in the accompaniment, and a row of fireworks exploded on the edge of the live stage, and a big screen appeared on the scene. With the image of exploding fireworks, the lights on the scene suddenly became brighter. Several movable white spotlights light up and begin to swing irregularly.

  At this time, the song entered the interlude part. The music in this interlude is more intense, and it also has the common melody and rhythm of electronic dance music. The audience at the scene finally cheered along with it. Everyone began to raise their arms and wave them, and from time to time there was a scream or two.

  In the interlude part of the song, not only the music rhythm and stage effects have changed, but Gong Chen on the stage also started to swing his body in accordance with the music and made some simple dance moves. As if to match Gong Chen's dance, after the fireworks were scattered, several dry ice machines on the edge of the stage spewed a burst of white smoke. However, unlike Gong Chen’s last song, he sprayed smoke onto the stage to create a "fairy air" environment. This time, the white smoke was sprayed straight up into the air, in order to drive the scene again. atmosphere of.

  Sure enough, with the spray of several strands of dry ice this time, the screams of the audience on the spot immediately rang a lot.

  "RememberMeNoTimeCannotErase, ICanHearYourWhispersInMyMind, I\'veBecomeWhatYouCannotEmbrace, OurMemoryWillBeMyLullaby..."

At the end of the interlude, after Gong Chen began to sing the second verse, the audience gradually stopped cheering and screaming, but did not let go of their raised hands. Instead, following Gong Chen’s singing began to change Flick the rhythm back and forth and beat the beat with the music.

  "SingMeToSleepNow, SingMeToSleep, Won\'tYouSingMeToSleepNow?SingMeToSleep..."

Although this song is an English song, the lyrics are relatively simple, especially in the chorus, there is almost only one lyrics, so when Gong Chen sang the chorus for the second time, some audiences could not help but sing along with her. Up.

  When the song entered the interlude again, without Gong Chen’s deliberately jumping and waving, a row of fireworks exploded again on the scene, and the white spotlights again lit up and swayed irregularly. On the stage, Gong Chen’s dance moves were even larger than those in the first interlude. He even pulled down the hood on his head, pointing his finger at the audience and shaking her head while shaking her beautiful head. Long black hair.

Driven by Gong Chen, the audience was more excited and happy this time than in the previous interlude. Many people got up from their seats and began to twist their bodies up and down with Gong Chen. The screams and cheers were also wave after wave.

  The dry ice machine on the side of the stage sprayed white smoke again, pushing the screams of the audience up again, and the second interlude ended. However, at this time, Gong Chen did not raise the microphone to his mouth to continue singing, but continued to leap on the stage to guide the atmosphere of the scene.

  "A-anytime, IWouldDo-DoDoDoDo...TimeAway, Yesterday-DayDayDay..."

The accompaniment music also did not return to the melody of the main song or start another transitional melody before the chorus. Instead, Xiao Yao operated the electronic audio equipment to perform a similar scratching of a pre-recorded song of Gong Chen. Repetitive processing like this to give the whole song an end.

  With the fall of the last note, Gong Chen also strolled to the middle of the stage facing the audience, bowed to the audience and signaled the end of the performance of the whole song.

   Accompanied by Gong Chen’s action, the audience once again burst into enthusiastic applause, cheers and screams.

  Although it is only a short three-minute song, the entire performance of this song can be said to be very exciting. From music, singing to the stage lighting, all the audiences on the scene have a feeling of being at the European and American electronic music festival, and they feel that they are extraordinarily accented and high-spirited.

  Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, Xiao Yao, who finished the song, also walked out from behind the DJ console, walked to the front of the stage and bowed slightly to thank the audience, and stood side by side with Gong Chen. Seeing Xiao Yao walking to the front of the stage, the cheers and screams of the audience immediately became much louder.

"Thank you very much for the wonderful performances YS and Gong Chen brought us." Li Hai also walked onto the stage from the side of the stage at this time, stood beside the two of them, and said to them, "Although this song of yours It's called "SingMeToSleep", but judging from your performance just now, I'm afraid no one can listen to your song and fall asleep. Do you think?" In the last sentence, Li Hai turned to the audience and said of.

   "Yes!" many viewers shouted excitedly.

"Thank you all!" Gong Chen smiled and said to the audience, "This is the first time this song has been publicly unveiled, so I will present the live version to everyone. This song will be combined with "faded" to produce a single. Please support me at that time."

   "Buy!" Immediately, many audience members shouted.

  "Are you using our New Year's Eve party to advertise in public?" Li Hai was slightly surprised.

  When rehearsing before, there was no such thing. Neither Xiao Yao nor Gong Chen mentioned to the program group that they would release a single.

   "Can't it?" Gong Chen blinked playfully and smiled at Li Haidao.

   "Uh... of course." In fact, it's just one sentence, and it's still live broadcast. Of course, Li Hai can't say no in public.

   "That will be fine." Gong Chen said with a smile, then turned to the audience and said, "Thank you again, and wish you all a happy new year! Goodbye!"

  Speaking, Gong Chen put the microphone in Li Hai’s hand directly, waved to the audience, and then exited the stage from the back stage channel.

   "Hey...Is this going away?" Li Hai looked at the two microphones in his hand and was speechless for a while.

  Looking at Li Hai's appearance, countless audience members laughed out loud.

   "Gong Chen just left? He has a personality!"

   "She sang and danced just now, as if she had changed after wearing black clothes. What about the goddess fan?"

   "What does Li Hai want to make with one person and two microphones? Pass one to Xiao Yao next to him."

  "At last year's New Year's Eve party of Xiangnan Satellite TV, Xiao Yao was responsible for the funny part. Why is he so cool this year? I stood there without saying a word."

  At the same time, there was a burst of discussion among the audience.
