NIP Chapter 754: Brave Heart
Chapter 754: Brave Heart
Chapter 754: Brave Heart
When the audience shouted Jiang Yuan's name together, Jiang Yuan came on stage again and exchanged the stage with Ye Xuanqi.
The fourth song that Jiang Yuan was going to sing was "Brave Heart", a single that left a deep impression on the audience during the movie screening.
At the same time, as the song with the most outstanding sound source performance among all the soundtrack singles, when the name of the song appeared on the big screen, the audience responded enthusiastically.
Jiang Yuan returned to the stage, still wearing the white suit he had worn during the previous performance.
After all, it's not a special concert, so there's really no need to change costumes frequently.
Jiang Yuan stood in the center of the stage. After the big screen displayed the song title, it directly played the original clip of "The Return of the Great Sage" which used this song as the BGM.
[“Dragons really can fly”
“Free and beautiful”
“I wish I could fly”
】
This clip shows the conversation between Jiang Liuer and Monkey King Bajie when they see the white dragon flying in the sky.
The scene of a white dragon flying in the sky between the blue sky, white clouds, green fields and green mountains gives people a particularly refreshing feeling when watching it on the spot.
Using the original animation as an introduction at the beginning of the performance immediately made the audience feel fully involved.
[“One day, if you are strong enough and brave enough, you will be able to control them.”]
After the Monkey King said this line, the volume of the animation's original soundtrack began to be gradually turned down, and the musicians on the scene started playing.
The sound of the electric guitar began to roar in an instant, which was extremely exciting. The color of the cheering lights in the hands of the audience also changed to light blue, symbolizing the sky, echoing the stage scene.
The venue installation arranged a breeze to blow at the right time, which immediately made the audience feel as if they were in a movie. The environment and music gave them a sense of freedom and comfort.
At the same time, the original film was still playing on the screen, but this time the BGM was replaced by Jiang Yuan's live singing.
"I am not a stone, nor a tear,
I'm just a little bird, looking for the direction of home."
Jiang Yuan held the microphone and sang softly, his voice like a story humming in the wind, singing into the ears of the audience.
Combined with the light-looking movie scenes, everyone unconsciously waved their glow sticks.
In many cinemas, the audiences who were watching the live broadcast of the soundtrack concert had basically just watched the movie or watched it again.
When I heard Jiang Yuan's first live performance of this song again, I felt an extremely strong sense of immersion in the song.
"I am not a grain of sand, nor a sigh,
I'm just a kid, looking for love."
Accompanied by the dynamic drum beats, Jiang Yuan's singing seems very shallow.
Without using too many techniques, the lyrics were sung in an almost plain way.
It not only conveys the emotions of the song, but also takes the listening experience into consideration.
After the transition to the main part of the song, when it comes to the chorus, the accompaniment of the song begins to explode.
The musicians' fluctuating emotions can also be felt in the passionate music. Matching the accompaniment, Jiang Yuan's singing voice suddenly rises and becomes high-pitched in the chorus.
“This is the feeling of flying~~!
This is the feeling of freedom~~!!”
Jiang Yuan held the microphone high up, and when it came to the chorus part, he went full throttle.
Different from the previous light-hearted performances, this allows the audience to feel the emotions in the song more intuitively.
"Dancing in the wind in a sky covered with blood,
With a brave heart that never cries!"
The song is sung with a rock background, which perfectly echoes the animation clips on the big screen.
Jiang Yuan completely let go of the style of singing rock songs, which had a particularly inspiring power for the audience.
The first chorus conveys a sense of vastness very well, making the audience's emotions become much more excited.
"This is not a fantasy, nor a delusion,
This is what I firmly believe a brilliant life looks like."
After finishing the first chorus and transitioning to the second chorus, Jiang Yuan's singing became much more relaxed, with a more casual and freehand feel.
The auditory experience is more concrete, with a brighter and more unrestrained feeling than the first paragraph.
After a few verses, the second chorus of the song begins again.
The accompaniment roared, and Jiang Yuan completely let go of his voice and sang wildly.
With his excellent voice and function, he sang out the rock texture that the song required.
“This is the feeling of flying~~!”
When Jiang Yuan sang the chorus again, Lu Qing in the backstage couldn't help but envy Jiang Yuan's voice, or rather the condition of Jiang Yuan's voice.
At the beginning, Jiang Yuan had no intention of singing the song "Brave Heart" himself.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, if we match the timbre of the original song, it would be a song more suitable for Lu Qing.
However, in the end, because my condition had declined compared to my early years, I felt that it would be difficult to perfectly perform this song with my current abilities.
In addition, he was unwilling to complete the recording of the entire song sentence by sentence, so Lu Qing finally refused to sing this song, thinking that it would be more appropriate for Jiang Yuan to sing it himself.
Although he refused, Lu Qing definitely didn't mean that he didn't want to sing this song.
On the contrary, Lu Qing made this decision only after trying many times and failing.
It is always easy to feel sad when people are no longer young.
Lu Qing was a little emo, but was soon infected by Jiang Yuan's singing and immersed in Jiang Yuan's performance again.
While gently clapping my hands, I was also imagining in my mind that the performing singer was replaced by myself.
“This is the feeling of running~~!
This is the feeling of breaking free~~!! "
In the B section of the chorus, Jiang Yuan sang more and more passionately.
The audiences in the audience were also in a state of continuous shock.
After another passionate chorus, the mood of the song drops again.
The song does not have a bridge setting and directly transitions to another verse.
“I am not a stone.”
The same lyrics, but sung with different emotions and tones, convey a completely different feeling to the audience.
Compared to the first paragraph, there are more layers and subtle emotions.
It was like entering a low point, but at the last moment, at the last chorus, the emotions burst out again. At this time, the original animation on the big screen had finished playing.
At this moment, a mixed clip specially edited for this segment was also played.
The exciting scenes matched Jiang Yuan's singing, instantly boosting the emotions.
"Running wildly with your head held high on a land full of sharp blades,
With a brave heart that never cries!"
Jiang Yuan sang all the way to the last sentence of the song, and the whole scene gave the audience a feeling of glory and power.
After the performance, Jiang Yuan waved and greeted the audience.
At the same time, the audience below the stage also responded with extremely enthusiastic cheers.
"Good evening, everybody!"
Jiang Yuan greeted him, then paused for two seconds, waiting for the reaction of the people on the scene before continuing.
"In the first half of this year, I often spent my days performing and greeting the audience."
"But it's been a while since we last greeted each other like this." While greeting, Jiang Yuan reviewed Zi's concert.
This topic immediately attracted responses from some audience members.
Some fans even shouted for another show, which sounded particularly crisp in the small venue.
Jiang Yuan paused for a moment before responding, "It will be available in the second half of the year."
After a brief response, without waiting for the audience's reaction, Jiang Yuan quickly changed the topic back to today's concert.
"But today, the main focus will be on the performance of our movie soundtrack."
"So far, our movie box office has officially exceeded the 1.5 billion mark."
"This is a great encouragement to all of us and the main creative staff. Thank you very much to everyone here and to the audience who may be watching our concert in the theater now." Jiang Yuan expressed his gratitude to the audience.
At the same time, it was also a small celebration of the good result of breaking through the 1.5 billion box office.
However, there was another celebration session on the day, so Jiang Yuan did not elaborate on it.
"Today's performance is our billion-dollar box office convention event."
"At the scene, several singers from our original soundtrack came to perform movie songs for everyone."
"Next, there's another one." After a brief talk, Jiang Yuan began to introduce to the audience the songs that Shang Yaner was about to sing.
Among the many OST tracks, the one handed to Shang Yaner for singing is also a very important one.
Currently, it is the second-highest-growing single from Dai Quan, "Wukong"
Shang Yan'er was chosen to perform the song, and this song was also specially arranged and sung by Sa Dingding.
The original song sings about rebelliousness and helplessness, but this version of the song is more gentle and sad, which is more in line with the current situation of the Monkey King after his frustration.
As a traditional Chinese style single, Shang Yaner is also very contagious when performing it on stage.
The opera tune in the song gave many audiences goose bumps.
At the same time, this song, sung by a female voice, has a high and clear texture that touches the hearts of many listeners.
Even during the interlude, people began to clap and admire unconsciously.
While waiting for the performance to end, the whole place burst into applause.
For a song that is also very suitable for live performances, after Shang Yaner performed the live version, the audience at the scene and in the theater felt the charm of the performance more intuitively.
"Shang Yaner's performance on this song was really steady!"
“I feel like the quality of the singing is much higher than the studio version!”
"Sure enough, your voice is well suited for singing bigger songs like this!"
"The singing voice is really amazing."
"Are the songs on the soundtrack about to be finished? Is it time for the performance? I wonder what songs they will sing."
After Shang Yaner finished her talk and left the stage, the audience couldn't help but start chatting.
On the one hand, I was amazed at the completeness and stunning performance of Shang Yaner, and on the other hand, I was looking forward to the subsequent arrangements of this concert.
After all, when buying tickets, the minimum performance time and performance repertoire for this performance were clearly written.
The minimum number of songs required for registration is twenty, so many audiences buy tickets to the scene, not only to watch the performance of the original soundtrack, but also to see the commercial performance compilation of top-notch lineup such as Jiang Yuan and others.
However, after Shang Yaner's performance ended, Jiang Yuan returned to the stage again and sang another song on the soundtrack.
At the beginning of the soundtrack performance, Jiang Yuan chose to perform a wordless version of "Empty".
When this part was about to end, Jiang Yuan also gave the audience a beginning and an end connection.
The song also ends with "Empty", just like the ending song of the movie.
But this time the version sung is the one with lyrics.
Singing the same melody almost simultaneously on the spot can easily make the audience feel bored.
After all, the song is quite long and some melodies are repeated.
However, after the audience listened carefully, they discovered that there was a version of this song without lyrics.
Jiang Yuan indeed sang with a very different feeling.
The previous wordless version of the opening gave the audience a more ethereal and ethereal feeling.
Although the version with lyrics also has these characteristics, the expression of emotions is obviously more direct and intense.
The previous version has melody and chanting, but this version has more complex emotions and different pronunciation.
So after listening to it, the audience had a different feeling.
After another version of "Empty" was sung, the part of the soundtrack performance of "The Return of the Great Sage" came to an end.
Next, without letting the atmosphere get dull, Jiang Yuan took the initiative to take on the role of host for the day and began to move on to the next segment.
That is to let Ye Xuanqi and others return to the stage again, and the film's main creative team including Jiang Caihua will celebrate the movie's box office exceeding 1.5 billion together.
After Jiang Yuan's cue, the staff on site pushed a specially made cake onto the stage.
Before cutting the cake, Jiang Yuan also gave each main creative member time to speak individually.
Everyone was allowed to say whatever they wanted to the audience, and finally the cake was cut on the stage, with some given to the audience in the front row.
While ensuring the experience, the whole process was carried out very quickly, taking less than ten minutes.
At the same time, the voice actors present will dub a section of animation, and the transition part in the middle will be over, and the concert will officially enter the second half.
