On December 10, the day before the question of "Chinese music is finished", Xu Ruyun, a singer who has warmed countless people with a Yun-style singing voice, sent a long Weibo, in which she said that following the time story of each "family" traveled through time and space, moved in fragments, laughed or shed tears in the memories, "These are very precious experiences and processes for me."
On December 10, Xu Ruyun released a long Weibo thanksgiving "Time Family"
What inspires all these precious time stories is Hunan Satellite TV's new program "Time Concert".
In Douban, netizen "Zhu Shan wants to read a PhD" frankly admitted that he "has not seen such a music program": under the starlight of Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie, singers who can completely string together the fifty years of Chinese music in the Chinese music scene do not PK, no competition, they sit around the stove, and use the form of letters of "once upon a time when cars and horses were slow" to derive the time of hooking a certain song in the past.
And when the music sounds, the unforgettable silhouettes of their lives are ready to come out, and the audience is also inspired by the notes to remember the times, and then harvest the touch.
Those people, those years
Music touches the fate of the warm "time family"
Is it feasible to use a program to depict the flow of Chinese music? The answer to this proposition is obviously hidden in the setting of the main structure of "Time Concert" -
Tan Yonglin, who has been a singer for 51 years, Lin Zhixuan, who has spanned 30 years of musical time, Xu Ruyun, who has been on the stage for 26 years, Zhang Jie and Phoenix Legend, who have spent 17 years chasing dreams, and Yu Kewei, the youngest but also witnessed the changes in the Chinese music scene in the past 12 years... When they sat around, it was a good time for Chinese music for more than fifty years.
What is the relationship between music and people? The answer given by "Time Concert" is that it connects the past self with the present self, and can also make people of different ages and personalities become confidants and family members because of a certain melody.
This magical chemical reaction is interpreted through the way of "letter", and it is touched by the time musicians taking turns to cover the masterpiece of "Zhuang Lord".
Last Friday, the "Time Concert" that had just been broadcast came to Xu Ruyun's special session, and at the stage of reading the letter, Yu Kewei wrote a letter to herself in 2009, when she officially became a singer through the fourth place of "Super Girl", so that everyone remembered the name yu Kewei for the first time, precisely because she sang Xu Ruyun's 1996 work "If the Cloud Knows" on the stage.
On the same day, Zhang Jie's letter was written to himself in 1988. At the age of 6, he got a green-skinned electric train specially bought by his grandfather because of a high fever, which was the first electric toy in Zhang Jie's life, and behind the toy was his grandfather's care and the old man's hope for his "dominance".
Zhang Jie integrated his feelings and memories into Xu Ruyun's "Beautiful Dreams Come True" released in 1998, and his mother, who loved to sing "One Man Show" mentioned in the first program, was also stored in the mobile phone this time to "sing" in front of Xu Ruyun's eyes.
It's the singer and the listener. Yu Kewei and Zhang Jie grew up listening to Xu Ruyun's songs, and were recognized by the public through Xu Ruyun's songs or helper songs when chasing their dreams. These experiences intersect with the feelings that arise from them in the same time and space, and the healing feeling of love and companionship comes into being.
Xu Ruyun's hand-drawn stick figure of "Time Family"
If Lin Zhixuan, Xu Ruyun and Phoenix Legend are the big brothers and sisters in the "Time Family", Zhang Jie and Yu Kewei are the younger brothers and sisters who are cared for and grown up in the "Time Family", and Tan Yonglin must be the well-deserved big parent in this warm-hearted family.
The audience who chased the show all the way must not forget the letter written by Xiao Ke to Tan Yonglin in the fifth issue of his "zhuang lord". In the letter, Xiao Ke asked Tan Yonglin to "not be old", "Because you are old, we are all old, only if you are not old, we will always be students of Fengsheng Middle School." ”
This sentence not only poked at the tears of all the singers present, but also made the audience in the barrage cry until they could not help themselves. As Xu Ruyun said, Tan Yonglin is the big parent in the "Time Family", and in fact, for Chinese music, Tan Yonglin, who witnessed its 51 golden years, is not also a parent?
The time when music gathered together, the sense of healing given by the collision of hearts, was naturally revealed in Xu Ruyun's hand-painted stick figure of "Time Family" on December 10. In Douban, some netizens said that seeing a group of friends singing old songs at night reminiscing about the past is really a "sad and romantic" thing, and those people have never faded out of the fans' memories in those years.
Those songs, those feelings
Letters and notes open a slower travel of time
Not only has a strong "family feeling", but also countless good songs throughout the time. In the statistics of hardcore audiences, the 8-episode "Time Concert" has made people recall nearly 70 classics.
It is worth mentioning that the "singing" of "Time Concert" does not only stay at the cover level, but also the re-arrangement of the creative team has given many classics new vitality.
In the second phase of the show, Yu Kewei sang a clip of Tan Yonglin's "Flowers in the Water" on the social platform because of "fairy fluttering". Some netizens commented that Yu Kewei made the original classical tone with some modern flavor when singing, "just right for the measure".
Music critic Er Di was even more praised for this version of the adaptation, saying that the Chinese-style adaptation made the classic "foggy into a more mirrory, watery, and magical... Let this song look like it grew naturally from the 1980s to the 10s, showing the evolution of the music scene that followed the times."
In the third program, time musicians covered the legendary works of the phoenix, and "Time Concert" gave many god adaptations that made people shocked in addition to the "difficulty" expected by the audience - Xu Ruyun sang "Lotus Pond Moonlight", and was stunned that the colorful bell divine song that was popular all over the country sang the charm of Ono Lisa Bassa Nova;
Lin Zhixuan's cover of "Lady Xiangxiang" made fans describe him as "singing and dancing rapper leather clothes wild and show off the upper body", "The adaptation of this song is too surprising, and the grounded folk song style suddenly becomes foreign and advanced here!" ”
Behind every good song, there is a story.
The first episode of "Time Concert", broadcast on October 22, with the power of classic old songs and unknown stories, lived up to the expectations of winning the first place in the three networks and the highest variety show in the same period.
The program of the day chose to let the time musicians write to the musical time they most wanted to return to, Tan Yonglin wrote to himself who sang "Friends" in 1985, when the music of "the stars flow, with you on the same road" sounded, the young Tan Yonglin, Mui Yanfang, Andy Lau appeared on the screen, making many "post-70s" audiences red eyes;
Lin Zhixuan's letter was written to himself in 1998, when the 32-year-old "grabbed" "The Tears of the Mona Lisa", making this song the signature love song of the 90s, and engraving the common sentiment of young people of that era who were "sentimental but not sad";
Li Keqin's letter was sent to the TVB parking lot in 1992, and late that night he hid in the car to catch the lyrics, and wrote until the rising sun, "Red Sun" was issued, and since then it has become a battle song for people in adversity to encourage themselves...
Subsequently, the cover of each issue of "Time Concert" highlighted the charm of the intersection of music and time, just like Lin Zhixuan saw his parents who took him to the cinema in 1977 in the aftertaste of "Love Movie", Zhang Jie responded to his grandfather's expectations in "Dreams Come True", and the audience in front of the TV set also returned to the time when they had listened to these classics.
"The roughly chronological arrangement of songs comes from near and far, and the time travel that opens is actually enough for us ordinary people to remember the first half of our lives." On October 30, "Zhu Shan wants to read a doctorate" wrote in Douban that when he slowly grew up from a primary school student who listened to those songs for the first time, he slowly grew up into the backbone of family and society, "when he was overwhelmed, he encountered such a program using music as a carrier, so that we could also revel in when we were alone, stay more, and remember more." ”
"Stay" and "healing" should be the viewing experience that "Time Concert" most wants to let the audience harvest, that one classic, that year that has been re-turned out, the singer's story, the audience's emotions, hidden in the letters, notes, immersed in the aftertaste of time since then let the fast-forward moment "slow" up, this sincere and loving return, giving the show a long romance.
