This issue of "Time Concert" focuses on Yu Kewei's musical time.
The clothes of Yu Kewei, Zhang Jie and Lin Zhixuan are very interesting, one yellow, one green, and one red, as if coincidentally forming a group of "traffic lights".
The "traffic lights" sang Yu Kewei's songs on stage in turn, and everyone's song was very beautiful.
The best part is that it is completely different from the original song, which is refreshingly presented.
First, the original song in front of the "dancing knife", a hundred flowers are colorful.
The personnel composition of the "Time Concert" show, a large number of singers, each of them is very "able to play";
In the competition variety show, each one is a "fairy fight".
But "Time Concert" is that the immortals do not "fight", only show the immortals singing, not "fight".
In each episode, all the singers present will sing the song of one of them, that is, everyone will "dance the big knife" in front of the original singer Buddha-figure.
The skill of the master is that the original is already very good, and the new cover songs can always have different characteristics.
It's nothing to do with it, it's all beautiful.
For example, in this episode, Lin Zhixuan sang "Know It or Not, Know It or Not", and the two original singers Yu Kewei and Hu Xia were present.
As soon as Lin Zhixuan opened his mouth, the voice line full of a sense of talk and a sense of picture pulled people into a different "know it or not" picture.
Lin Zhixuan is a singer with extremely distinct personal characteristics, and his singing of "Know It or Not" naturally also has distinct personal characteristics.
Between a certain singing segment, the true and false tones are seamlessly silky;
The treble part, the high-pitched and gorgeous true tone sound line, is like the Milky Way falling for nine days.
Clear, gorgeous, raw and very beautiful.
After he finished singing, Hu Xia immediately said, fortunately, the producer did not hear you sing at that time, otherwise he would not have looked for me.
Of course, this is not to say that the original version of Yu Kewei and Hu Xia is not good, but that "Time Concert" is very good at quietly excavating in music and re-giving a song a new brilliance.
Similarly, Zhang Jie sang Yu Kewei's "Hope", which also has a different flavor.
The last time Yu Kewei sang Zhang Jie's "He Doesn't Understand", Zhang Jie asked curiously before playing: I want to know what your version looks like.
Yu Kewei "perfunctorily" went out of the realm, saying "it is the female version", and replied as if he did not fully answer, which was very terrier.
This time Zhang Jie sang Yu Kewei's "Hope", and it was Yu Kewei's turn to be curious: I want to know what your version looks like.
Zhang Jieyi gourd painting scoop, etiquette exchanges, the original return of "is the boy's version", the picture was once very hilarious.
As for Zhang Jie's performance of this "Hope", it is also very enduring.
If Yu Kewei's original version many years ago carried a few traces of grief and sadness, then Zhang Jie's version was warmer.
It is wonderful, obviously there is a sense of sadness and brokenness of the lost love song, but it is sung out of the warm sense of live participation of time gilded and youthful reunion.
In every issue of "Time Concert", there are many such moments.
This is a recombination and innovative interpretation of different styles and different genres of singing, reshaping more possibilities for music in the river of time, beautiful, and not just beautiful.
Second, there is a story of time with taste and temperature.
It's hard to imagine that this original demo of "Hope" was actually sung by boys, and it had a bit of rock 'n' roll.
Yu Kewei described it as "like Wu Bai's style".
And Yu Kewei recalled this song, recalling the recording studio that recorded this track, and the delicious smell of stinky tofu downstairs in the recording studio will always appear in the memories.
The music connects time with the picture.
For Hu Xia, the most impressive part of the memory may be the taste of marinated meat rice.
He used to have two brine meals a day for 7 consecutive months.
I have been eating marinated meat rice repeatedly, and the reason is also very simple and cheap.
Hu Xia, who debuted in the competition in the early years, and Yu Kewei, a newcomer more than ten years ago, actually had a rather hard experience.
In 2010, Yu Kewei released her first album and signed to Rolling Stone Records; the first time she went to Taipei, because she was a newcomer, she did not dare to ask to go home for the New Year.
That year's Chinese New Year's Eve, she followed her colleagues to "rub the New Year", and even the Spring Festival Gala was watched through QQ live broadcast.
As early as ten years ago, Lin Zhixuan and Yu Kewei had cooperated.
Many years ago, Yu Kewei and Lin Zhixuan, who had just debuted, sang "Single Love Songs" together.
This low-clearance and high-paste video taken by fans on the spot successfully aroused the interest of Linghua and others.
Lin Zhixuan commented on Yu Kewei many years ago: although he was green, as soon as he opened his mouth, he let people know that "there is a lot to do".
A few years later, Lin Zhixuan sang Yu Kewei's "Know It or Not" on the stage of the "Time Concert", and the time and music were very wonderful.
Third, non-competitive, smoke-free, warm program atmosphere.
There have been too many sword-rattling music programs over the years.
The implementation of the cruel last-place elimination system finally created a very strange situation: for the audience, fast songs with strong songs and strong interaction often "take advantage".
Lyrical slow songs, songs with artistic pursuits, are often easy to fall into the lower area and be eliminated miserably.
Everyone knows that this trend is very biased and problematic, but under the mechanism of live voting elimination, both singers and stage vocal teachers are trapped in it.
More and more attention is paid to the noisy and lively stage effect.
The "sense of interaction" and "viewability" in this is good, but the sacrifice of musicality and diversity is also very obvious.
The most distinctive difference of "Time Concert" is that it does not engage in elimination system.
There is no smoke, all old friends.
Abandon the elimination system of competition, do not engage in panic and nervous competitions, but engage in gentle, old friends gossip style "time song collection".
In this way, the problem of "valuing the sense of live interaction over musicality" is fundamentally solved.
In this variety show, it is not just singing, following the trajectory of time and following the vein of the work, to review the musical rings of each singer, and to see music and life in the flowing light-year trajectory.
Delicate and warm.
For example, during the time when Yu Kewei's memoir "Hope", he loved to eat the stinky tofu left behind, and Lin Zhixuan said that he loved to eat the sake-stuffed tangyuan on a small stall.
The food itself is not unusual, what is strange is the time and the story.
Lin Zhixuan said that he is 55 years old this year, but it has been 56 years since he ate this.
When Lin's mother was pregnant, she especially loved to eat this wine-brewed tangyuan (there may also be a reason for the relative lack of food at that time), and Lin Zhixuan also "inherited" the habit of loving to eat wine-brewed tangyuan over the years.
The previous generation of Lin's father, Lin's mother, and the previous generation of stall owners have become friends;
This generation of Lin Zhixuan and this generation of stall owners have eaten a friendship for decades.
It sounds very warm.
Just like the texture of this "Time Concert".
The background of the show is a small green verdant forest, with soft lights in the shade of green trees.
From the stage design to the style of the live band, to the casual conversations of everyone, it is very ironing.
It's like drinking a bowl of hot sweet wine stuffed dumplings.
Looking forward to the next edition of The Time Concert.
