Chapter 354 (1/2)
On the one hand, most of Madonna's songs are very suitable for live performance. On the other hand, Queen McGonagall also pays enough attention to the rehearsal and preparation of the concert.
Just for one thing, Madonna is crazy about fitness in order to support the high-intensity World Tour physically. She almost turns herself into King Kong Barbie, which is beyond the reach of many singers of the same level.
So no one's success is easy.
When the concert officially started, although many audiences came here tonight for Simon, they still screamed and screamed with singing and dancing in the hot atmosphere.
After half an hour, when Madonna finished singing a song of ”holiday”, she didn't immediately start the next song, and the light on the scene went down. The audience inside and outside the scene and countless TV viewers immediately realized that Simon westrow was going to appear.
Sure enough.
In the dim light around, a figure slowly rises from the bottom of the stage. It seems to be wearing black, and the figure is a little fuzzy, but you can see a very eye-catching double headed guitar.
Madonna reappeared on the edge of the stage, a beam of light hitting her, microphone in hand, and asked aloud, ”next, who's on the stage?”
Mixed with shouts like ”Simon” and ”westero”, more just screaming.
There were tens of thousands of people.
A deafening scream.
Madonna waited for the scream to slow down, raised her hand and pointed to the stage. Her voice was a little more mysterious, and she said, ”look, fire!”
There was a startling sound tearing the air around.
There was a real fire.
Many viewers even think they are hallucinating.
Attention was drawn in the moment.
The second string.
Third.
With the sound, the light on the figure in the middle of the stage is not bright, but it is enough for everyone to see the figure clearly.
Punk full of a strong black dress.
It's also an amazing guitar that has never appeared on the stage. It's much bigger than an ordinary electric guitar. The white body in the shape of Steampunk, the orange double head handle, a metal tube running through the center of the body and extending to the top of the head, and the last piece is like a silver exhaust hole of a motorcycle, and almost a sharp long knife.
If there is a second passer-by on the scene and he has seen George Miller's Mad Max: the road to fury, he will be able to recognize this flaming guitar in a glance.
The fact is, of course not.
However, this did not affect the audience's amazing feeling after seeing the guitar.
On stage.
After three crackles, the string began to hum.
Short and low.
It's like a swarm of bees, but it's not the wild bee dance that many people expect.
It's more like.
An invasion and spread.
Many people think of Madonna's last sentence again. Instead of saying ”welcome Simon westero,” she said, ”look, fire!
it's fire.
It's a flame.
It's very important to be on the stage. This slightly ironic remark is actually a wise saying. Whether it's Michael Jackson or Madonna, or many other stars, they all stick to it.
Now that he's decided to play, so is Simon.
Since the meeting before Madonna's concert in April, Simon has been thinking about this issue, and has discussed it with Madonna's team many times.
By chance, the crazy Max: the road to fury, which surprised many fans and filmmakers in my memory, and the flaming guitar, were heard. Simon called together some of Hollywood's best props and professional guitarists to discuss the feasibility.
Without considering the cost, we did it.
Then came the opening solo.
”Wild bees” is naturally the first consideration, but after trying, the stage effect is not so good.
Simon also tried to play freely.
Many experiences in his memory have made Simon understand that as long as a fast and passionate prelude, it can firmly attract the attention of the audience.
However, because of the inspiration brought by flame guitar and the previous practice, I finally created a complete song.
Fire, fire.
On the stage, with a strong aggressive tune, sometimes hasty, sometimes violent, sometimes buzzing, sometimes explosive, more and more audiences seem to have a burning feeling of the spread of fire.
What's more.
When the tune occasionally reached its limit, the metal tube on the top of the double headed guitar burst out again.
It turns out that just now is not an illusion.
There's a real fire.
Then, the atmosphere burned, and there was another crazy scream.Backstage exit, looking at the wanton man on the stage, Janet's eyes worship, she certainly won't miss her beloved man's concert.
Under the stage, Lisa Collins, like many people around her, screams wildly without concealing her emotions. Subconsciously, she always looks at the little girl named Jennifer beside her. She is worried that the little girl with a red face holding a card will suddenly faint.
Outside Brenda berry arena, watching the performance of a figure on the huge screen, more than 100000 people also began to scream.
In front of the TV sets of thousands of families, they felt the fiery atmosphere of the concert, and countless people regretted that they could not fly to New York regardless of everything.
Although the guitar solo named ”flame” is only 2 minutes and 20 seconds, it is destined to become a classic in the hearts of countless guitar lovers after tonight.
When the tune starts to last, the flame in the jet is no longer intermittent, rushing frantically to the sky, as if to burn everything.
The live music and lighting are also more confused.
Then.
Prosperity is the darkness.
Two minutes, 20 seconds.
It seems that God made a snap of his finger, everything stopped suddenly, and the stage returned to darkness.
”Ah, ah!”
”Ah, ah, ah!”
the screams on the scene became more and more crazy, and countless fans looked at the dark stage and yelled a name.
The darkness lasted for three minutes, and the cry lasted for three minutes.
Originally, I was worried about whether my idol would be suppressed by Madonna, the heroine of this evening, and whether it would not meet my expectations in my heart, and even whether it was just a show as some gossip media said.
Now, all the worries are gone.
The figure just now is his own God.
My own God.
This night, even just 2 minutes and 20 seconds, is worth the trip.
Under the infield stage, because of the cry of the little girl beside her, Lisa Collins was the first to recover. She wanted to comfort the girl a few times, but she didn't move in the end.
I made up my mind to see that guy again.
I want to touch him again!
When the light on the stage lights up again, the Steampunk atmosphere has just disappeared, and the stage tone turns bright.
When the accompaniment sounded, Madonna's fans immediately heard that it was her Latin style dance music La Isla Bonita. Then Simon and Madonna appeared on the stage together.
Simon has just changed his black suit, a casual white suit, and his guitar has been replaced by a folk song.
Madonna is a tassel style dress.
When Madonna started singing, Simon was both a guitarist and a dancer.
It seems that he should be the guitarist on the stage, the accompanist, the guitarist and the accompanist who can easily capture the light of the heroine.
At the end of the song, although it was not as amazing as the song ”fire” just now, the applause and cheers in the room were still intense.
After Simon left, he became Madonna's home again in the next half hour.
Although the applause is still, cheering is still, but everyone in the room is inevitably looking forward to the appearance of a figure again.
In fact, Madonna has long considered the possibility of such a situation, but she does not care.
Simon westero's position in this concert is destined to be the icing on the cake. Although this ”flower” suppresses the scenery of ”Brocade”, it is destined to be an embellishment.
And, in any case, Simon can't get her job.
After the concert, there will be tours in several southern states of the United States and Europe. Madonna believes that because tonight, the attendance of the rest of the tour will definitely be much higher than expected.
The duration of the concert is 120 minutes.
Simon will play three times, so he will play 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes respectively.
