$ Chapter 410 "Bleeding Love"

Zhou Yan didn't shirk anymore, he hugged the guitar and started to ponder.

His guitar skills are average, and he doesn't practice, so there aren't many songs he can play live. After all, he can't sing, so he can only play solo.

If he could sing, strum a few chords, and sing a verse for the audience, the difficulty would be much lower.

After thinking for a while, he finally said, "At this time, it should be dawn in the United States, and today happens to be the premiere of another song I wrote for Mariah Carey. Since it is such a coincidence, then I Let me play this song for you.”

Before Zhou Yan could say the title of the song he was going to play, someone from the audience shouted out, "Someone like you."

Some people also shouted the English name of this song, "someone like you!"

Hearing the audience shout out the name of the song, Zhou Yan also laughed, "Yes, it's the song "Someone Like You". This song was not only included in the movie "Sense and Sensibility", I also put it in the "Yu Linglin" album. You haven't heard the song version yet, but it won't take long for this song to be spread in China. If I don't sing well, I'll give it to you. Let’s do a solo.”

Zhou Yan has compiled a solo section for this song, so he can play it directly without having to worry about it.

In fact, with Zhou Yan's ability, he can improvise solo on any song. This is a very simple thing for him.

It's just that his guitar skills are not good enough. Even if his brain can keep up, his hands can't keep up.

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he began to adjust the guitar in his arms and prepare to play. At this time, the audience in the audience was very cooperative and made no more noise, quietly waiting for his performance to begin.

It was completely dark now, and the sound of waves came from the sea, mixed with the sound of the wind, reminding everyone that they were at the beach.

The guitar solo compiled by Zhou Yan is actually quite complicated technically, but now that he plays it by himself, he must reduce the difficulty. Some of the more complicated techniques have been directly simplified by him.

Of course, even a simplified solo can still conquer the audience's ears.

Compared with the soundtrack in "Sense and Emotion" and the live recorded version of "Yulinling", Zhou Yan's solo is much simpler. After all, there is only one guitar and there is very little that can be done.

But simplicity is better than simplicity. The audience doesn't understand that much, so they think it sounds good. As for the harmony and texture, they don't understand and don't care.

Since the 1980s, the trend of learning guitar has become popular in China, especially in Pengcheng. At that time, young people holding guitars and wearing bell-bottom pants could be seen everywhere on the streets.

Many young people learned to play the guitar with a fire stick and full of enthusiasm.

Although these people are wild in their ways, their feelings are sincere.

It can be said that the guitar is the most familiar instrument to the general audience, and its popularity is even higher than that of the harmonica.

So when they saw Zhou Yan playing solo, the audience was naturally very happy and very kind.

If Zhou Yan was playing instead of holding a guitar, but holding a violin, the melody might be better, but the feeling to the audience would be different.

Xu Guanwen had already retreated to the side of the stage, with his hands behind his hands looking at Zhou Yan in the center of the stage who was seriously playing his solo.

He had also learned about Zhou Yan's music, and when he learned about Zhou Yan's music, he was deeply moved because Zhou Yan's music style was too avant-garde and special.

In the past 20 years or so, pop music in Hong Kong has developed rapidly. Although songs like "Iron Tower Ling Yun" have special meaning, to be honest, they are too simple and old-fashioned. Even Xu Guanwen himself admits it.

Xiangjiang's music development over the years has actually been following the path of Neon. Many of their songs imitate Neon's style.

Most of them are like this, some are imitating Europe and the United States, and the remaining small part are innovating on their own.

Unfortunately, even if we are innovative, it is difficult to be very new.

As a creator, Xu Guanwen deeply understands that when a person creates, he will always be influenced by his predecessors.

In all walks of life, as long as it involves creation, it is basically like this.

No one can create something out of thin air. Many things created by people have the shadow of others.

The same is naturally true for the development of music. It usually involves learning, imitating, and then improving, so the development of music can be followed step by step.

But Zhou Yan's music is different. His music seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and its style is different from other songs at the moment.

His music not only does not follow neon music, nor does it imitate Europe and America.

Although Zhou Yan's music is not a new music form, the way it is produced is different from other songs.

For example, the song "Yellow" is a typical British rock song and does not escape the major category.

But when you listen to "Yellow" together with other British rock songs, you can hear obvious differences.

Xu Guanwen didn't study music, so he didn't know why. He only knew that the music written by Zhou Yan rarely had the flavor of the times.

The same goes for this song "Someone Like You". It is an obvious pop song. You can hear blues and gospel in it. These are all existing things.

Many people do not mention subversion when they mention Zhou Yan, because what Zhou Yan has done has not subverted anything.

The "avant-garde" of his works lies more in the details, and these details are precisely not easy to be imitated.

Just when Xu Guanwen was listening carefully to Zhou Yan's solo arrangement, he suddenly heard that Zhou Yan pressed a wrong chord.

It was obviously pressed wrong, not intentionally, because it sounded very discordant, and the same place was played once before, and it was different from this one.

Xu Guanwen smiled. Zhou Yan's guitar level is not very good, that is, the level of an amateur. With this level, I am afraid that most bands cannot get in.

However, although Zhou Yan's guitar playing level is average, Zhou Yan's posture of playing guitar is very good.

First of all, Zhou Yan knows how to hold the guitar handsomely, and his posture of holding the guitar looks like a master.

Secondly, Zhou Yan has a good figure and looks handsome, which adds points to the performance effect.

Xu Guanwen believes that if Zhou Yan can sing, he can be popular all over the country just holding the guitar.

Good-looking, but too much advantage, his brother Xu Guanjie is a typical example.

Zhou Hong watched Zhou Yan solo on the stage from the audience, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He came to join in the fun tonight, and what he wanted to see most was his brother's performance.

Although Zhou Yan has many concerts, Zhou Hong has not seen many of them. Most of the time, he saw them on TV.

It is also a rare opportunity to watch his brother's performance up close.

Zhou Hong suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his mother always liked to stand at the window of their house in the evening and play the bamboo flute. At that time, he was his mother's most loyal audience.

Now that his mother is gone, he has become his brother's audience again.

Wang Zuxian, who was sitting on the other side, held her chin and quietly appreciated her boyfriend's performance.

Although they have been together for several years, Wang Zuxian is still fascinated every time she sees Zhou Yan playing an instrument.

As long as Zhou Yan has an instrument in his hand, it seems to glow.

It seems that there is an invisible and intangible field around him that can control people around him and make them unable to move.

A solo was very fast, only about four minutes, and Zhou Yan finished playing it very quickly.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the audience had been completely ignited.

To be honest, before Xu Guanwen came on stage, the tourists on the scene were a little disappointed.

There were a few programs in the previous eight programs that were remarkable, but overall they did not meet their expectations, especially the skit and stand-up comedy, they really couldn't feel the charm of them.

In the previous eight programs, the audience's highest voice was Jiao Huang's Peking Opera, but the most impressive part for the audience was the part where Li Xiaoran danced on the stage, after all, beautiful women are really pleasing to the eyes.

Later, Xu Guanwen came on stage to sing a song "Iron Tower Lingyun", which really excited the audience and finally felt like watching a show.

They came here today mainly to see the performances of the stars.

At this moment, Zhou Yan's performance pushed the performance to a climax.

Without anyone leading the rhythm, the audience shouted in unison, "One more, one more!"

Many of the audience at the back had already stood up and waved to Zhou Yan excitedly.

Zhou Yan looked at his watch and smiled, "Thank you for your enthusiasm, but it's really late. We haven't eaten yet. Tonight's performance is over..."

Before he finished speaking, the shouts of the audience below the stage rang again, directly covering his voice.

"One more, one more."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the audience, Zhou Yan smiled helplessly, then patted the microphone and said, "Ahem, everyone, be quiet."

After the sound calmed down a little, Zhou Yan spoke again, "How about this, I'll play another song, and then we'll end."

"Two."

"Three."

"One hundred."

Hearing someone shouting one hundred, Zhou Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes. This really treated him as a donkey pulling a mill in the production team.

"How about this, I'll give you a multiple-choice question."

Multiple-choice question?

After hearing Zhou Yan's words, the audience at the scene were all confused. What does it mean to give them a choice?

Is Zhou Yan going to make them laugh and give them two choices, listen or not?

"You have two options to choose from. The first one is that I can continue to play three songs for you."

"Three songs!"

Many audience members exclaimed.

Although someone just shouted a hundred songs, it was just a joke. They all knew that the celebration banquet would start soon and Zhou Yan would not be able to play too many songs. They would have made a fortune if they could play one or two more songs.

Now Zhou Yan actually said that he could play three songs for them, which naturally made them overjoyed.

If he played three more songs, he would play a total of four songs today. You know, even in Zhou Yan's concert, he could not solo so many songs live.

Some people couldn't help shouting, "I will choose the first option."

However, some people were calmer. Since it was a choice question, would the other options be as attractive as this one?

"What about the second option? What is it?" someone asked.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "The second option is that I will play a song for you."

"One?"

The audience showed puzzled expressions? They all wondered if they had heard it wrong.

One option was one song, and the other was three songs. With such a clear difference between the two options, even a fool would know which one to choose. What is the point of such a multiple-choice question?

"Well, one song." Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Of course, since it is one song, it must be something special. If you choose the second option, you will hear a song you have never heard before."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence, but soon, there was a warm cheer.

"New song!"

Hearing this cheer, some audience members who were late to realize that Zhou Yan was going to play a new song.

"Let's choose the second one." Someone shouted.

"Yes, let's choose the second one."

Soon, more and more people shouted that they wanted to choose the second one.

That's a new song. Even a fool would know to choose the second one. Choosing the second one, they are all lucky people who witness the release of the new song.

Not to mention the choice between three songs and the new song, even if it is between a hundred songs and the new song, they will choose the new song. After all, the next song is always better.

Zhou Yan nodded, "Since everyone's opinion is so unanimous, then next, I will bring you this one..."

At this point, Zhou Yan paused for a moment and finally uttered two words, "waves."

Obviously, this is a temporary name, and many viewers also realized this. Many people even looked back at the waves behind them.

The song Zhou Yan is about to play is of course not called "waves". Its original name is "bleeding love", which translates to "bleeding love".

Hearing this name, you can feel the pain and sadness conveyed by this song.

The reason why Zhou Yan did not use the original name is because the version he played next was not too sad.

Zhou Yan rearranged the chords of this song to make the song relatively lighter and sound like waves. It happened that they were on the coast, so Zhou Yan named it "waves".

…

After Zhou Yan’s modification, “bleeding love” doesn’t sound like bleeding love, but rather like “spreading love”.

The lyrics of this song describe the pain of love, just like being cut and bleeding continuously.

But Zhou Yan’s modified version sounds more like the feeling of lovers who love each other deeply and want to see each other all the time.

Although it can’t be called a sweet song, it is indeed very romantic. This is also one of Zhou Yan’s rare romantic songs. (End of this chapter)
