Chapter 386: What Is Called Hall-of-Fame Level?

On stage, after the climax of the song's second chorus ended, Tian Ming stepped forward.

He did not put down the microphone, because his rap section was still to follow.

Honestly, many people mistakenly believe that Ceng Yi has very few lyrics in Phoenix Legend songs.

Like in this song "Free Flying," his rap parts are actually very numerous, and he also has to do the harmonies for the singing parts. Therefore, he is almost singing from beginning to end.

It is worth mentioning that although everyone now respectfully calls Ceng Yi the "Baron of Phoenix," in the music videos for many of his early songs, his style was truly a bit hard to look at.

Among them, the music video for "Free Flying" is one of the representatives...

It belongs to the type where, after watching it, you would want to crawl into the screen and beat him up.

It's just too obnoxious!

Although it is clear that he seems to have deliberately created this effect...

At this moment on the "King of Love Songs" stage, Tian Ming began a rap segment that did not repeat what came before.

"【This is the feeling of my journey,

It shouldn't let me continue this pain.

Don't cover me, I will insist on walking forward,

The wind of the primal realm accompanies our tracks.

...】"

The Goddess of Music listened to these lyrics and couldn't quite understand them.

But for some reason, the performance by Xue Ning and Tian Ming gave her the feeling of being in the middle of a vast grassland.

The most fatal part was that after Tian Ming rapped eight lines in one breath, he began to enter a repetitive rhythm again.

It's just that before, every time he said "Yo—", there would be a half-beat pause.

This time, he actually replaced the sound of "Yo" with... "Giddy-up—"!

Yes, it is exactly that "Giddy-up—" that many people shout when riding a horse!

"Does he really not feel like he's suffering from social death?" the Goddess of Music covered half her face and couldn't help but say.

"Don't his family members watch his show?" the Goddess of Music wondered.

This man was actually standing in the center of the stage, emitting a full aura as he let out three "Giddy-up— Giddy-up— Giddy-up—" shouts.

Then, he made a cool gesture with his hands, pulling his elbows inward as if holding the reins of a horse, and shouted loudly: "【Whoa—!】"

"Deadly, it's truly killing me!" the Goddess of Music said.

"Why can't this habit of mine of feeling embarrassed for others ever go away!" she thought.

However, it really is so hype!

The most absurd part is that the entire stage underwent a shocking change at this moment.

You don't have time to continue being embarrassed, because as Tian Ming made the motion of pulling the horse's reins, those two huge curtains rose accordingly!

It looked as if he had pulled an invisible rope and lifted the curtains!

As mentioned before, the two curtains had almost covered both sides of the stage.

Only one-third of the space in the center of the stage was left.

At this moment, as the curtains rose, the camera focused on the two curtains, and everyone first saw pairs of shoes and trouser legs.

It was a group of people wearing formal attire!

Many people, a great many!

And at the moment the curtains rose, the entire accompaniment changed completely.

The song itself already followed a grand route, but at this very instant, it truly began to give people a sense of majesty.

The reason is simple: behind the curtains was an entire symphony orchestra!

Yes, on Earth, the famous Philharmonic Orchestra once held a symphony stage specifically for Phoenix Legend songs.

The shock and surprise it brought to people were unparalleled.

Luo Mo directly modified the final interlude of "Free Flying."

He smoothly integrated the symphonic version into it.

The Goddess of Music looked at this scene, and one could say she was dumbfounded.

"Even the conductor is here!"

"Isn't this the Huihuang Orchestra?" the Goddess of Music recognized this group at a glance.

"This is one of the top orchestras in the country; tickets are always snapped up, and it's always packed!" The Goddess of Music couldn't imagine that they had actually been invited.

This orchestra has been following a "people-friendly" route in recent years.

Their motto is: "To create symphonic music that ordinary people can also understand."

This is a path only they can take.

Because in terms of artistry and the like, they have basically already reached the top in the country.

Therefore, they had new pursuits.

Luo Mo had asked Ke Ming and Ning Dan to contact them, and he sent the symphonic version of "Free Flying" directly to them.

The Huihuang Orchestra was certainly very interested in the invitation sent by Luo Mo.

After all, Luo Mo's songs like "Nocturne" incorporated a large number of classical elements, and they found songs like "The Seventh Chapter of Night" and "In the Name of the Father" to be astonishing.

As soon as the Huihuang Orchestra heard the symphonic version of "Free Flying," they agreed to the collaboration request.

They felt it was very interesting and were willing to give it a try.

Listening to this majestic interlude, the Goddess of Music felt her scalp tingle for a moment.

The huge contrast brought by this shift made one's mind sway, and it was deeply shocking.

She even couldn't help but gently pat her left leg, because she felt that half of her body had gone numb.

What does it feel like when the country's top symphony orchestra suddenly goes full throttle for you?

"This isn't a pop song; in this instant, it's a 'Battle Anthem'!" As a music critic, Leshen quickly found the best adjective.

Yes, it just gives people the feeling of an incendiary battle anthem.

Especially with a conductor standing with their back to the audience, conducting the band.

This visual sense and the auditory impact it brings are enough to reach the pinnacle!

The entire song has almost achieved a metamorphosis at this moment.

The bullet comments are going crazy right now.

"I'm done for!"

"I'm so thrilled I'll be suffering from insomnia tonight!"

"Is symphonic music actually this shocking?"

"Suddenly I want to go to a concert."

"Are we sure this is the same song!?"

"If I couldn't tell the efficiency was about the same, I would have thought they were two completely different songs!"

"Explosive! Too explosive!"

"High energy throughout, combatants, follow me!"

In the professional judging area, many lyricists, composers, and music critics stood up in shock, hands raised to their ears.

They looked at each other, none of them expecting such a scene to suddenly unfold.

It is clear that Luo Mo prepared two songs for the singers under his studio this time. The first, "Annual Rings", was meant to play with some tricks in the lyrics. And this second one, "Free Flying", is about the music.

A hall-of-fame level band even makes many audience members feel that they haven't just raised the ceiling of this song, but have elevated the grade of the entire program!

Backstage at "King of Love Songs", there are still several competing singers who haven't even started singing yet.

Tong Shu's "Annual Rings" had already made many people feel immense pressure. Now, the appearance of the Huihuang Orchestra has made them extinguish even their will to fight.

——It's not that our side lacks spirit, it's that the enemy is too terrifying!

"How did Luo Mo think of doing it this way!"

These singers do not know that this symphonic version of "Free Flying", which they feel has already reached the peak, is merely Luo Mo testing the waters.

After all, in that performance with the Philharmonic Orchestra, what made everyone feel the most stirred was not the song "Free Flying".

It was another song that listeners jokingly call "Lunar War March".

That feeling, the sensation it gives people can be summed up in six words —— "Going to blow up the moon!"

………

………

The interlude, lasting several dozen seconds, did not make the audience feel it was too long; in fact, it left many wanting more.

Watching the program, Leshen knew clearly that this piece of music was definitely not the end of the song.

According to the normal song format, the chorus should be sung a few more times.

The instrumental sound alone is already this top-tier; if it were paired with Xue Ning's highly penetrating, powerful singing voice, and Tian Ming's harmony………

"Then it wouldn't just be half my body going numb!" Leshen guessed in her heart.

Sure enough, at an appropriate beat, Tian Ming and Xue Ning picked up their microphones and naturally blended their singing voices into it.

It is very strange; although this is the first time hearing this song, over half of the audience has already completely memorized the first line of the chorus in their minds.

The camera swept across the live audience, and many were even opening their mouths to sing along.

The memory hook is too strong; it is directly branded into everyone's minds.

The singing voice echoed throughout the entire stage.

"【In your heart, flying freely!】"

"【Brilliant starlight, wandering eternally!】"

"【The direction of the path, shining upon my heart!】"

When singing the last line, Xue Ning and Tian Ming turned to the side, the two of them facing each other to sing loudly.

"【The distant frontier, follow me——】" At this point, there was a pause of two beats.

Immediately after, Xue Ning's legs slightly bent under her gown, her entire body slightly hunched.

This is equivalent to sending a signal to the audience.

——Sister is about to hit a high note!

She opened her palm and sang the last three words: "【Go to the distance——】"

The pitch of the final word "distance" was already extremely high, and she held it for a full dozen seconds in one breath.

The symphony orchestra also pushed the music to its peak at this moment.

The control of a hall-of-fame level orchestra at the finale is truly too strong.

And the National Team-level singing of Xue Ning and Tian Ming was actually not suppressed by the symphony!

I have to say, the harmonies of Xue Ning and Tian Ming are too strong. If it were other singers, their voices would be completely insignificant in front of the instruments, directly crushed, even making people only hear the instruments and ignore the singing.

But them?

The human voice and the instrumental sound overlapped, making the entire program tonight reach its peak at this moment!

Leshen felt she had fallen into a pit and couldn't get out.

Everyone was marveling at Luo Mo's imaginative creation.

Little did they know his idea was actually very simple.

"You can think this song is vulgar."

"You can also think this song is elegant."

"I have no other ambitions."

"I just want everyone to..."

"—listen and be thrilled!"

(PS: First update, requesting monthly tickets.

Also, those interested can go search for the collaboration between the Philharmonic Orchestra and Phoenix Legend; listening to it might refresh your perception. "Free Flying" was really just a small test of their skill, and it is absolutely not the most thrilling song.)
