Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 132 You Should Say Goodbye Loudly
On May 16th, Zhou Ziheng’s second concert in Singapore.

The guest of this event is Zhang Yu.

Yes, it’s the original songs of “The Moon’s Trouble” and “Unrequited Love for a Flower” copied by Zhou Ziheng.

Maybe it’s a matter of compatibility, Zhang Yu personally likes "The Moon's Trouble" and "Unrequited Love".

After being invited to attend Zhou Ziheng's concert, I made a request.

He wanted to sing "The Moon's Trouble" or "Unrequited Love for a Flower" with Zhou Ziheng.

Anyway, any one of the two songs will do.

Of course Zhou Ziheng agreed to this.

After discussion, the two decided to sing "Unrequited Love for a Flower" together.

Fifty-five minutes into the concert, Zhang Yu came on stage.

Zhou Ziheng introduced him first.

Actually, no introduction is needed.

Although Zhang Yu's development momentum in the past two years is not as strong as in the late 1990s, he is still well-known in the Chinese music scene.

Last November, his song "Good Intentions" won the Golden Melody Chart championship for two weeks in Singapore and Taiwan.

In addition, Singapore has always been the private domain of the Taiwanese music scene. Excluding the influence of local singers, Taiwanese singers have the greatest influence here.

Therefore, Singaporean audiences are naturally quite familiar with him.

However, whether the audience knows him is one thing, and introducing him himself is another.

This is the most basic respect.

Even if Teresa Teng came to Zhou Ziheng's concert, Zhou Ziheng would still need to introduce her.

After introducing Zhang Yu, Zhou Ziheng handed the stage to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu will first sing a solo of his song "Good Intentions".

Then, Zhou Ziheng would change his clothes and come back from the toilet before singing "Unrequited Love for a Flower" with him.

The song "Good Intentions" is still very popular.

Zhang Yu's singing did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience.

When the song reached its climax, some audience members even sang along.

"You said you wanted to escape"

“It’s destined to settle down”

"Love is gone, love is extinguished"

"Do you want the remaining hollow?"

……

The sporadic singing of the audience even reached the backstage where Zhou Ziheng was changing his clothes.

Unfortunately, "Good Intentions" is not an easy song to sing.

Most fans will sing the two lines "You said you wanted to escape, but you are destined to settle down."

And then, then they won’t.

This is actually the norm, unless you are a professional or someone who is trying hard to learn.

In fact, many songs in the music industry are the kind that are easy to sing except for the climax, while the other parts are not so easy to sing.

That’s the case with “Well Intentioned.”

To a certain extent, even professional singers may not be able to sing this song well.

After four and a half minutes, "Good Intentions" was completed.

Zhou Ziheng also changed into new clothes and style.

Ever since the photo album became a big hit, Zhou Ziheng's styling has been bold and seductive.

Although it is feminine, we have to admit that it makes sense that this style will become popular in the future.

Although the time was short, Irene dared to take such a high annual salary as Zhou Ziheng, which shows that she has some ability.

In just a few minutes, she completely changed Zhou Ziheng's look.

Zhou Ziheng's new look features a white performance outfit, his hair dyed grey, and black lines painted on his face that resemble flames.

This made him look evil, like a demon.

However, this shape is really cool.

The audience immediately screamed and cheered after seeing Zhou Ziheng's look.

"I'm giving this song 'Unrequited Love for a Flower' to all of you!"

Zhou Ziheng shouted loudly.

Then he exchanged a glance with Zhang Yu and looked towards the live band.

The band understood immediately and the passionate music began to play.

The accompaniment for concerts is usually not played directly from tapes.

It is the live performance that we choose.

This requires a band with very strong live performance capabilities.

Zhou Ziheng's concert band is not top-notch, but it is also first-rate in the Chinese music scene, and their abilities are absolutely beyond doubt.

As soon as Zhou Ziheng made a gesture, the passionate music began.

The audience all stood up and waved their arms to the rhythm.

The sound of drums, guitars...all kinds of music mixed together to create a musical feast.

Zhou Ziheng started singing first:
“Everyone said to forget him”

"After many twists and turns, each of us goes his own way"

"Everyone knows that you can't let go"

……

After he finished singing his part, Zhang Yu also sang in a low voice:
“You lied to everyone”

“Is sweetness easier to disguise?”

"Enviable love"

……

Because Zhang Yu was going to join the chorus, Zhou Ziheng slightly changed the song.

The song was directly changed into the later version by Hu Yanbin and Bai Jugang.

Zhou Ziheng thinks this version is an absolutely explosive live performance.

Especially the farewell part where they sing high notes to each other, it can give you goosebumps.

However, this version also has a disadvantage, which is that it requires the singer to be able to sing high notes.

Zhou Ziheng himself doesn't need to worry, because he can sing high notes, but he seldom does so.

It’s Zhang Yu.

Originally Zhou Ziheng was worried about him.

But he was really overthinking it.

Zhang Yu’s songs actually are the kind that require a very high vocal range to sing.

If Zhou Ziheng can do it, then naturally he can do it too.

on the stage.

The first few sentences were just a prelude, both of them held their voices low, just waiting for the explosion.

However, this made the fans in the audience feel uncomfortable.

During the prelude of the song just now, the melody was so passionate.

Everyone subconsciously expected it to explode.

As a result, both of them lowered their voices, which made the fans feel uncomfortable.

Just when everyone was feeling a little uncomfortable, the climax came.

After Zhang Yu finished singing his part, Zhou Ziheng raised his voice.

“You should say bye loudly”

"Even if the tears flow"

Zhang Yu did the same, and when it was his part, he gradually raised his voice.

It can be heard that both of them are still holding back their voices.

But the suppressed emotions of the audience and fans clearly began to be released at this moment.

The two of them sang a few verses in low voices.

The first verse of the song is almost over.

The second paragraph starts over again.

However, this time, the music rhythm started to rise, and in the new section, the duo's singing rhythm also obviously accelerated, and their voices also became much louder.

Zhou Ziheng has been very popular in the past two years, so there will naturally be no shortage of professionals in his concerts.

At this time, there was only one person sitting in the audience.

Jiujian.

He is an all-round musician in Singapore. He began to show his singing and songwriting talents in the late 80s. He has won the Best Composition Award at the Xinyao Festival and the Taiwan Songwriters Association's Best Single of the Year Award, and has sung many Xinyao classics.

At this moment, after seeing the two people singing on the stage, he immediately sat up straight.

A song, especially a high-pitched song, usually starts out slowly and rises in pitch.

But you can still roughly tell how intense the climax will be from the first line of lyrics.

Of course, this is the case when there is no intentional pressure.

If it's not suppressed, when it reaches the climax, you can roughly infer how loud the climax will be from the first line of the lyrics.

It was just like when Xiao Shenyang sang "The Red Flowers Are Blooming" on the Spring Festival Gala in later generations. Because the beginning was too high, the subsequent climax did not burst out.

At this time, in Jiu Jian's opinion, Zhou Ziheng and Zhang Yu's pace had obviously risen very high, and ordinary people would not dare to rise so high.

Jiu Jian certainly didn't think that these two people made a mistake.

Both singers on the stage are famous singers and would not make such low-level mistakes.

Then, there is only one reason.

on purpose.

They're going to soar.

And this is indeed the case, when the foreshadowing part ends and the climax comes.

Zhou Ziheng and Zhang Yu started to quarrel with each other.

"You should say goodbye loudly"

"Even if tears flow"

"This heart-breaking and entangled love"

“Let’s just forget about it.”

He suddenly sang a high note, catching the audience off guard.

But they quickly reacted, stood up, and stared at the stage with burning eyes.

"Still pressing?" Jiu Jian was stunned.

He clearly felt that the two of them were still suppressing their voices and had not reached the highest note.

Zhou Ziheng: "Say goodbye loudly, be brave enough to love and be brave enough to break up"

Zhang Yu: "The heart that died for love will come back to life one day"

At this point, the rhythm has reached its highest point. This time it was Zhang Yu's turn to sing first, and he was the first to raise his voice higher.

"Say goodbye loudly and see who can't leave"

Zhou Ziheng is in charge of the tone this time, "Don't cling to silly love words about forever and ever."

After singing this line, Zhou Ziheng did not pause, and his voice suddenly rose:
"Say goodbye loudly, don't be afraid that no one loves you"

……

It's soaring.

The two of them sang the climax part repeatedly, their voices getting higher and higher, and they sang a crazy competition on the stage.

If you are one level higher, I will be one level higher than you.

The fans at the scene went crazy.

Everyone was waving their arms wildly, with excitement on their faces.

This was definitely the most exciting concert they had ever attended.

They had never seen a scene like this where two top singers were competing with each other on the stage in high notes, neither of them willing to give in.

It is precisely because they have never seen it before that they are excited.

Everyone knows that the ticket was worth it tonight.

They became fans, and there were also media at the scene, most of whom were from Singapore.

At this moment, the reporters' faces turned red with excitement, and they were snapping away frantically with their cameras.

"call……"

After the song was finished, both Zhou Ziheng and Zhang Yu were catching their breath.

In the following sections, the two of them really acted as the audience thought. They were unwilling to admit defeat to each other and wanted to outdo each other, so they raised the syllables higher and higher.

The two of them raced straight to the end.

They looked at each other and could both see the smile in each other's eyes.

"How was our performance just now?" Zhou Ziheng turned to the audience.

"it is good."

"awesome!"

“We want to listen more!”

The fans in the audience were obviously still excited and loudly expressed that they wanted to listen more.

"I can't sing anymore. I'll sing for you again when I have the chance. Now, let's move on to the next part!"

How could Zhou Ziheng possibly perform so well again? If it happens again, he won’t be able to hold the concert because he won’t have the energy to sing the following songs.

He took the initiative to pull Zhang Yu over and said, "Remember, he is Zhang Yu, a singer who is very worthy of everyone buying a cassette record of his.

I am very grateful to him for cooperating with me to bring you this: an audio-visual feast.

Now, let us give him a big round of applause."

clap clap clap...

Warm applause echoed throughout the audience.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

Zhang Yu thanked the audience with some excitement.

This performance was his most perfect one in recent years.

He himself was excited about it.

Amidst the applause, Zhang Yu slowly stepped back and left the stage.

Although he really wanted to stay on the stage.

But this is obviously impossible, this is Zhou Ziheng's concert, not his.

After Zhang Yu left the stage, Zhou Ziheng took another deep breath to adjust his breathing and continued to interact with the audience.

"Now, I don't know what song to sing, so let's play a game.

......"

……

The number of people attending this concert in Singapore was only over 8,000.

But influence is definitely rare.

The next day, photos of Zhou Ziheng and Zhang Yu competing against each other at the concert dominated the headlines of 80 percent of entertainment newspapers in Singapore.

"It was an unprecedented performance, with two singers competing with each other on stage in high notes, giving fans a performance that will go down in music history."

“This is a talented singer.”

“A concert that fans will remember for 20 years”

"Zhou Ziheng is young, but he is not just an idol. He is a talented creator and a talented singer."

"Zhou Ziheng and Zhang Yu will be among the top singers in the Chinese music scene"

It's so popular.

After the concert, it became the hottest news in Singapore.

Even a large number of media in Hong Kong and Taiwan reported on this incident.

Because the concert was so popular, fans were talking about it.

Everyone who has watched this concert proudly said that they had watched this concert.

Those who didn’t see it asked around and even hoped that Zhou Ziheng could add another concert in Singapore.

But this is obviously impossible.

However, those fans who haven’t seen it now have a chance.

Because on the third day, the Singapore TV station came to the door in person.

They bought the television broadcast rights for the concert for S$100,000.

Don't underestimate 100,000 Singapore dollars.

According to the current exchange rate, 100,000 Singapore dollars can be exchanged for more than 900,000 RMB.

This is absolutely a sky-high price.

It was also the first time that a TV station purchased Zhou Ziheng’s concert copyright.

This is definitely a very happy thing for Zhou Ziheng.

Of course, Zhou Ziheng also knew that Zhang Yu’s contribution was indispensable to the success of this concert.

On the 18th, Zhou Ziheng specially invited Zhang Yu and his wife to have dinner together as a way of thanking him.

Zhang Yu and his wife also readily agreed.

The two arrived as scheduled that night.

"Come on, come on, I don't know what dishes you like, so I just ordered some at random. You can eat whatever you want, no need to save money for me, just go for it."

Zhou Ziheng and Huo Wenxi led the two to their seats with a smile.

During this time, he looked at Zhang Yu's wife a few more times.

Xiao Huiwen, pen name Shiyilang, if you add her last name, it is obviously Xiao Shiyilang.

This person is amazing.

Most of Zhang Yu's songs were written by her.

This is a talented woman.

Of course, Zhang Yu is not bad either, and most of his songs are composed by himself.

This is the standard case of a husband and wife teaming up to conquer the world.

"I have to thank Brother Yu this time. If it weren't for you, this concert wouldn't have been so successful."

After sitting down, Zhou Ziheng raised his glass to thank Zhang Yu.

He means it sincerely.

Without Zhang Yu, his concert would indeed be successful, but it obviously would not be as popular as it is now.
