Chapter 74 500 Miles
Record the scene.

On the spacious stage, gorgeous lights shone on everyone's faces, and Mrs. Hua was controlling the stage skillfully.

"The one who will be on the stage next is He Xiao, the only voice owner who has asked his mentor for advice for two consecutive rounds and succeeded in both."

Hearing this name, the audience immediately burst into warm applause. Obviously, the audience has been waiting for it for a long time.

With a smile on his face, Young Master Hua paused and said, "In the third round of challenge, he chose Teacher Carol. Can he succeed? Let's wait and see!"

When the camera is shown on Carol, her complexion is not very good and she looks very nervous.

Even though she was very confident in her own round, when she thought about Xiao Wangnian and An Miaoxuan's successive defeats, she still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, his English songs are definitely not as good as yours. This is your home game."

Sitting next to her, Xiao Wangnian comforted her.

Carol exhaled a long breath, made a winning gesture, and cheered for herself.

The reaction of the instructors, coupled with the tense soundtrack, made the audience a little breathless, and the atmosphere was immediately enhanced.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, Hua Shao turned sideways and shouted towards the backstage exit: "Let us welcome now, the voice with the best performance so far——He Xiao, return to the stage!"

As soon as the voice fell, the lights on the scene instantly became extremely colorful.

The figure of He Xiao stepped onto the stage, nodded to Young Master Hua, and the two passed by each other.

The stage is now handed over to He Xiao.

He stood on it and became the new master.

Six orange lights descended from the sky and concentrated on him, coating him with a halo.

Except for one meter around him, the rest of the entire recording hall was plunged into darkness, and the feeling of focus rushed to my face.

It has to be said that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV has done extremely well in terms of stage effects, and it is worthy of being a veteran and strong satellite TV.

He Xiao nodded to the band teachers at the back of the stage. They understood, the strings were plucked, and a soothing prelude came slowly.

Very relaxed, very carefree.

It seems that people have traveled to a sunny afternoon and are drinking afternoon tea leisurely.

And outside the window, a green leather train was playing a long flute, passing slowly on the rails, scaring away the geese flying south.

The prelude only lasted a dozen seconds, and many audience members got involved in it.

The five mentors on the high platform all showed surprise.

Zhang Ya immediately praised: "It's really a powerful arrangement."

Xu Tianheng also nodded again and again, looking at Carol: "Is this a folk song?"

"That's right." Carroll's expression was quite serious at this time. As soon as an expert made a move, he would know if there was something. As a singer who has refined the composition, just a few tens of seconds of prelude is enough for her to hear a lot of things. coming.

This English ballad by He Xiao is definitely a masterpiece.

Hearing the comments from the mentors, everyone looked forward to the stage.

At this time, He Xiao held the microphone with both hands, immersed in the melody, and sang the first line of lyrics following his feeling.

"If-you-miss-the-train-I'm-on."

(if you miss the train I'm on)

"You-will-know-that-I-am-gone."

(that is, I have left sadly alone)

"You-can-hear-the-whistle-blow-a-hundred-miles."

(Listen to the whistle that stretches for hundreds of miles)
This opening startled everyone.

Very pure English!

For this song, He Xiao did not know how many times he practiced it repeatedly. He closed his eyes and it was also the same when he opened it.

If under such high-intensity exercise, he still can't grasp these two lyrics firmly, then he really has a problem with his memory.

The lights on the stage change with the melody and are colorful.

And on the big screen behind He Xiaozheng, there is a Chinese translation of the lyrics so that the audience can understand.

In the mentor group, Xiao Wangnian and An Miaoxuan whispered to each other, as if surprised by He Xiao's performance.

Carole's face was full of solemnity. He Xiao's English song was really authentic, and the style was similar to her English folk songs. It could be seen that a lot of effort was put into it and it was specially prepared for her.

Coupled with this catchy folk song, if it is sung, it will definitely be a masterpiece of fire.

Zhang Ya stopped talking. She was the most popular existence among the instructors, and she was also the one who spoke the least. Most of the time she sat there quietly and listened to the contestants singing songs.

In the words of director Wang Shi, this is called "not having a strong sense of variety". It is difficult for a star without a sense of variety to support a show.

But fortunately, Zhang Ya's high popularity made up for this shortcoming.

She just sat there doing nothing, eating melon seeds with her legs crossed, and a large number of people were willing to watch.

However, although Zhang Ya didn't speak, her eyes were full of drama, her big sparkling eyes stared at He Xiao, her expression changed several times.

It seems to be thinking, can a person really be talented to this extent?
Listen to the beautiful melody and gentle voice, no one will not be intoxicated by it.

"A-hundred-miles, a-hundred-miles."

(One hundred miles and one hundred miles take me away)

"A-hundred-miles, a-hundred-miles."

(A hundred miles and a hundred miles and I can't go back)

"You-can-hear-the-whistle-blow-A-hundred-miles."

(The whistle that stretches for hundreds of miles will tell you the news of my departure)
The audience looked at the lyrics and listened to the melody, and basically understood the meaning of the song.

This is a folk song that expresses the wanderer's reluctance and nostalgia to his relatives. It narrates the bitterness of the wanderer, shabby, penniless, so embarrassed, so far away from home.

"Lord, I'm-one, Lord, I'm-two, Lord."

(One hundred miles and two hundred miles gradually go away)
"I'm-three, Lord, I'm-four, Lord."

(I can't go back after three hundred miles or four hundred miles)
"I'm-five-hundred-miles-away-from-home."

(Before I knew it, I was more than five hundred miles away from home)

In a blink of an eye, the train had traveled five hundred miles.

The wanderer sat blankly in the corner, watching the familiar city drift away through the car window, watching the rows of straight telephone poles retreating rapidly, thinking of seeing him on the car, standing on the platform with gray temples The old father, the homesickness in his heart could not be restrained.

These five hundred miles are the hard way of life!
In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, how many wanderers have left their hometowns, gritted their teeth and persisted in the difficult days, just to return to their hometowns after many years, and look like a person, so that everyone can look up to them.

Among them, some people succeeded, and since then they have been high-ranking officials and rich salary, and they have no worries about food and clothing.

But whether they are rich or poor, the nostalgia in their hearts will never be erased.

The hometown is the root, it will germinate in the heart, and it will accompany you for a lifetime, and no one can cut off your own roots.

"Not-a-shirt-on-my-back."

(Now I'm in rags)

"Not-a-penny-to-my-name."

(still penniless)
"Lord, I-can't-go-back-home-this-a-way."

(God how can I just go home like this)
"..."

The song is very well known in the world of black phones, and it's called "500miles," or "500 miles."

As a folk song, this song has become popular all over the world, has been sung widely, and has been covered in many languages. Its classic degree does not need to be questioned.

He Xiao liked many of the hundreds of English songs, but in the end only this one caught his eye and completely moved him.

With touching lyrics and a beautiful and soothing melody, He Xiao believes that there is no reason for this song to fail.
