From the moment he stepped onto the main stage, a crane camera dropped from above the stage, projecting his figure onto the live broadcast screen. His entire body was covered in camouflage clothing, and his expression could not be seen.

Until he stood in the center of the stage and was given a full-body close-up.

Yang Xiuxiu held her cell phone and subconsciously sat up straight. Her father, Yang, who was sitting in a rocking chair beside her, glanced at the TV screen and then shifted his gaze to the book in his hand.

He is not interested in these things and is here just to enjoy the family atmosphere.

Mother Yang went to clean up the fruit plate and could hear the sound of water running from the faucet in the kitchen.

At the bar, a group of fans were waving their cheering lights and staring at the big screen. Table Mountain's mobile phone was also playing the program and accumulating the number of copies.

The movement in the show did not stop as a piano was pushed up.

There was some commotion among the audience. Just like when Huo Yingjie sang and played the guitar before, it was obviously the same this time, except that he changed from guitar to piano.

The two opponents in the finals seemed to have the same idea.

"Has it started yet?"

At Yang Xiuxiu's home, Yang's mother came out wiping her hands and happened to see the scene on TV where Lu Qingfeng sat down in front of the piano.

"Xiu Xiu, I remember you said this child plays the violin,"

She sat down next to her daughter and asked.

"Well, he started learning the violin in high school. After he became proficient in it, he switched to piano when he started college."

Yang Xiuxiu said without turning her head.

"You've only been learning for a few months, and you can perform live so soon?"

Yang Ma was stunned

Because she also plays the piano, there is a small upright piano covered with a dust cloth in the corner of the living room.

Although it's just a hobby, I've been playing the piano for more than ten years. I know that it's easy to get started with the instrument, but how much effort is required to master it.

"It's been quite a while. You haven't seen his progress when he was practicing the violin."

Yang Xiuxiu was very calm. She had seen a lot and was used to it.

Mother Yang didn't ask any more questions and looked at the TV.

On the stage, Lu Qingfeng sat down in front of the grand piano, and the song title "Light" appeared on the big screen behind him.

Deng!

The camera's perspective fell on his hands, his slender ten fingers rested on the distinct black and white piano keys. As the first note sounded, the melody played by his left hand's fingers rustled like dead leaves falling.

The so-called finger rolling is one of the basic skills that must be learned in piano playing, which is to use different fingers to play the same note in turn.

Why not just use one finger?

In addition to the fact that continuous "one-finger Zen" will make the arms and wrists stiff and sore during long-term playing, it can also cope with songs with too fast a tempo. At the same time, the different lengths of fingers can bring changes in timbre even when playing the same note.

Last but not least, the use of different fingers can bring a sense of lightness to the melody during the playing process.

It's the basics, but it doesn't seem easy to master.

Yang Ma knew this, but the people on TV were very proficient in using this technique, and their playing was definitely much better than hers.

Mother Yang knew that she was just an amateur and her level was not high, but she had been practicing for so many years. She originally thought that according to what her daughter said, even if this young man named Lu Qingfeng was gifted, he was at most amateur level.

Now it seems that he is a professional pianist.

Have you really only been practicing for a few months?

The doubt remained in her heart, but the music style that was completely different from the previous stage attracted her attention. If nothing else, at least this melody caught her preference for music.

The interval of a major third should have a bright feeling, but the slow performance reveals a sense of sadness.

Thanks to the close-up of the camera, you can clearly see that the main melody jumps between C6 and G6.

After a two-bar piano prelude, the singing finally begins.

Lu Qingfeng moved closer to the microphone.

"On the sea, a wind blew;"

"White clouds are rushing towards the land;" |

"The monsoon carries away the sand..."

The singing style is weak and breathy, with each word pronounced with a faint breath, which has both a sense of illusion and penetration. In the final tail, the volume gradually becomes fading, like a feather that touches the heartstrings.

Mother Yang shuddered.

How can a boy's voice be so beautiful?

Dad Yang put down his books.

"The four seasons, the alternation of cold and warm;"

“What a vibrant life;”

"And traces of withering..."

Different from the first show which focused on mobilizing the atmosphere on stage, this song did not seem to stir up the audience's passion, but rather expressed itself in a leisurely manner.

On the current stage, this style of music does not have an advantage, but the people on the stage use their ultimate timbre to draw everyone's attention into the mood of the song.

“It’s the sudden storm that hits while you’re running;”

“It is the light of a burning match in the darkness;”

“Perhaps you cannot guess the unknown fate;”

"Like a shooting star it flies without knowing its destination..."

The singing voice continues to rise in the flowing rhythm of the piano, gradually revealing the theme of the whole song.

The main part uses a lot of breathy sounds, which conveys the fragility of fate like duckweed and drifting dust. The imagery of the lyrics also penetrates deeply into the hearts of the audience through the singing.

It makes people feel that he is singing about himself and everyone.

"Light" is another representative work of Zhou Shen.

Composer Qian Lei is also the author of "Big Fish". His other works include "As Wish" and "The Lone Brave Man", which shows how good he is at composing.

The song "Light" is the theme song of the sixth episode of the documentary "Forbidden City". It takes the history of the late Ming Dynasty as the starting point. Even though Emperor Chongzhen worked hard to govern the country, he still could not save the dynasty from its demise.

This is also the core of the song: When people try their best but cannot change the outcome of failure, what else can they do?

It is the spirit of individuals who, despite being small, strive to shine in the vast river of history.

"But, I am willing to believe it;"

"You, the smallest, weakest, softest, and most fearless one;"

“I responded with all my strength and effort;”

“No matter how boundless, endless, or unsolvable there is always a glimmer of hope;”

"Shine yourself."

……

And for Lu Qingfeng, this is who he has always wanted to be since he came into this world.

Work hard to pursue your dreams and become a shining idol.

Illuminate others as well as yourself.

The piano interlude has changed, with the traditional instrument xiao added to the melody background, followed by electronic instruments and drums. The rich layers also make the whole song brighter.

When everyone was quietly appreciating the performance without any change, a Peking Opera recitation sounded.

"Don't listen to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind"

"A raincoat to protect me from the rain and mist"

"A final chat in Changyin Pavilion"

"Six hundred years is a drop in the ocean, a dream in the vast ocean"
