Chapter 96: Only I Can Screw Over My Readers
Meng Han’s this new song is too fierce.
This melody that fuses folk music and rock music explosion power embodies his personal style to the fullest, plus the extremely infectious performance and cooperation, it can completely be called a god-tier stage.
It’s the kind of work that can enter music variety show famous scenes inventory video, the bullet comments are probably still “the only true god” and “low”.
How is he supposed to compete with this?
No, it doesn’t seem like he appeared in person either, it’s his fans who are competing… huh?
Then it’s over.
It’s not that he looks down on Xing Chao, but when the strength gap between singers is too huge, the quality of the song itself is also hard to make up for the overall impression.
What’s more, Meng Han’s this “Hou Yi” has very good quality, and it’s also an original work, in this case, nothing works.
Even if a soul-stealing song comes, you have to sing it well for it to be useful.
Meng Han, one of the soul figures in the rock music field of the music scene, has been debuting for more than twenty years, except for stubbornly challenging legends on variety shows, he has never lost, his singing skill technique is impeccable, and his stage performance is terrifyingly steady.
For such a person, paired with a high-quality original music, what does Xing Chao, an amateur music enthusiast, have to compete with him?
Don’t talk about him, Yu Wei feels that even if he goes up personally, it’s not necessarily steady, performance is not pure formula, even if the answer is copied perfectly, it can’t compare to a real top student.
In the contestant waiting area, Xing Chao’s throat was already a bit dry, he could only repeatedly swallow to relieve his nervous emotion.
As someone who often listens to music, he naturally knows what Meng Han’s this song means, this means that he, who will appear next, is going to become an unnoticed roadside one…
Logically speaking, as a music enthusiast, he shouldn’t need to be nervous, after all, losing isn’t embarrassing, but is there any loss that isn’t embarrassing?
He’s an athlete who can’t stand this word.
Actually, in the following days, Yu Wei suggested changing songs, but they were all rejected by Xing Chao.
He really likes this “Dream Chaser’s Heart”, if he can only leave one song in public occasions in his lifetime, he hopes it’s this one.
This is also something Yu Wei didn’t expect, he did initially think of mutual pitting with the reader, but unexpectedly the other party fell in love with this song at first sight.
Now it’s good, encountering a Meng Han who does surprise attacks, their group is afraid to be used as stepping stone…
The best method for singing to win strong with weak is to stay in the comfort zone, just like Yu Wei did last episode, choosing a simple and easy-to-sing song for Lin Yuting, as long as the emotion is in place, it can win.
But “Dream Chaser’s Heart” is not easy to sing, taking it to challenge a big shot with poor singing skill, it has a bit of the stubborn feeling of using short board to hit others’ long board.
They all say this song sells effort by roaring out, even if it breaks sound or goes off-tune, it won’t be demanded too much, but that’s usual, if you really want to sing it well, you definitely can’t be too careless.
Yu Wei glanced at Meng Han who was high in fighting spirit on the stage, then at Xing Chao who was uneasy, and quickly made the corresponding judgment.
Readers can pit, but can’t let others pit.
Whether it’s Xing Chao adding training intensity for him, or him giving Xing Chao some broken sound shock, in the end, it’s still “friendly” exchange between author and reader, star and fans, pure prank, not hurting harmony.
As a result, now someone is staring at them to compete, how can that be allowed?
In game team queuing, it’s normal to mess with teammates, but if the opposite side really grabs, he still has to help what needs helping…
Especially in the situation where everyone can only compete with him once, Yu Wei doesn’t want them to leave regrets, even if losing, lose together.
Xing Chao took a deep breath, was about to go on stage to prepare, but found that Yu Wei was already standing next to him at some point.
“Let’s go, do it!”
“Isn’t it my solo?”
Xing Chao was a bit slow to react, these two days practicing singing, what he practiced were all solos, now suddenly changing to chorus on the spot, isn’t it a bit too late?
“You just sing, leave the rest to me.” Yu Wei patted his shoulder, “If you can’t sing up, I’ll catch it, don’t fear broken sound, roar boldly!”
Actually, Yu Wei doesn’t care much about winning or losing, “Music Blind Box” is not a competitive music variety show, according to the original plan, he really didn’t need to go on stage, civilian contestant is the protagonist.
Who knew he was suddenly challenged… and it’s the kind that all on-site audience knows, if this loses, Xing Chao will definitely blame himself.
A challenge initiated by Meng Han, he can’t let his own reader bear it alone, letting reader protect in front of him would be too scummy.
“Can it work?”
Xing Chao still had some doubts, after all they haven’t rehearsed chorus at all, how could Yu Wei match his rhythm perfectly, that requires mastering the song to what extent to achieve…
“Just run forward.”
Yu Wei actually doesn’t have full confidence either, but the atmosphere is already here, he at least has to fight side by side with his own reader, his readers only he can pit.
The program team side completely didn’t expect Yu Wei to go on stage too, clearly this morning’s report was still solo, how did it suddenly change?
Surprise is surprise, the program’s recording can’t stop, the on-site audience is still watching, Cheng Xu quickly made the judgment, support Yu Wei’s work!
You can’t only believe Yu Wei when there are no accidents, this program’s popularity can’t be without people’s contribution, sincere cooperation, this bit of trust must be there.
After preparation is ready, the spotlight cuts open the stage’s darkness, the audience still immersed in the atmosphere of Meng Han’s “Hou Yi” just now finally reacted, the last song is about to start.
This time Yu Wei really hard to win…
Especially following the venue that just exploded, the audience’s threshold raised makes it easy to cold field, this contrast will also be very strong.
This is also the reason Yu Wei decided to go on stage together, doesn’t want his reader to be neglected.
“Where is the world full of flowers
If it really exists then I will definitely go.”
Xing Chao’s opening voice is like rough sandpaper, but Yu Wei immediately uses air voice to add a layer of soft light, making that off-tune sentence suddenly have the texture of lone courage.
First line already off-tune?
Yu Wei almost laughed in anger, bring out the spirit from long-distance running training and text live broadcast!
First time on stage singing it’s hard not to be nervous, this feeling Xing Chao also has when participating in competitions, what he needs now is a running feeling.
“I want to stand on the highest peak there
Don’t care if it’s cliff or precipice.”
Xing Chao slightly regained some state, the lyrics swirled in his mind, as if surging backs and flying dust appeared before his eyes.
Long-distance running competes on willpower, not the start, his singing cavity became more steady, keep running forward, that’s the dream chaser’s heart that hasn’t extinguished on his competition field.
Yu Wei on the right side of the stage steps forward to take the chorus, his voice clean and uplifting, carrying unworldly idealism.
Has mature and steady side, also youth hot blood, this is dream chaser’s heart.
“Maybe I have no talent
But I have the innocence of dreams
I will prove it with my lifetime.”
When Xing Chao took over singing again, every word was like steel nails on his forward path, carrying him to continue sprinting forward.
He didn’t know why Yu Wei could connect so well, but now obviously not the time to think about that.
“Maybe my hands are clumsier
But I wish to keep exploring
Give all youth without regret.”
The “qing” in “youth” was about to break sound, Yu Wei suddenly raised an octave to overlay a harmony line, wrapping that note into a gorgeous voice net.
The audience only heard double heat, no one noticed this was an acoustic rescue.
But several guests heard it clearly, Yu Wei’s control ability is too strong, can main can assist, looks like he mastered the song to the extreme.
It’s coming, the most dangerous moment descends on the iconic roar segment, Yu Wei encouragingly looked at Xing Chao, Xing Chao deep breath, like a martyr about to leap into the abyss.
And Yu Wei’s fingers suddenly clenched tight—
“Run forward!!!”
At the instant Xing Chao’s roar exploded, Yu Wei synchronously did three things: throat head down to open throat cavity, push chest cavity resonance to the limit; right heel heavily step floor to give rhythm anchor; left hand behind back signals “drop drum point” to the band.
Thus that broken sound that should have collapsed was swallowed by the violent drumstick strikes into war song’s drum points, the audience seats rose rows of stunned gazes like electrocuted.
They heard the broken sound, but this sound made their scalps tingle, precisely because of the broken sound, it had that desperate hysteria…
Broken sound is not technique decoration, but originates from the most primal shout of life.
These three words seemed to tear the air, making everyone shudder, this is already not just singing, it’s soul roaring, trapped beast breaking out!
Xing Chao felt his breath a bit scattered, blood rushed to temples yet powerless, just like seeing the finish line in competition but stumbling down.
Just when he couldn’t continue singing, a hand patted his shoulder.
Yu Wei in the side stage shadow sang the second voice part, his voice spiraled up, steadily holding up Xing Chao’s crumbling roar.
“Facing cold eyes and mockery
Life’s vastness without experiencing trials how can feel
Destiny cannot make us kneel and beg mercy
Even if blood spills full embrace.”
Xing Chao quickly regained rhythm to sing along, if without Yu Wei, he absolutely wouldn’t dare shout so regardless of consequences, having someone to back it up is different.
Being able to shout this in the program, worth it!
For the audience, the shock brought by Yu Wei and Xing Chao’s this song is absolutely stronger than Meng Han’s song, after all compared to pure musicality, this “Dream Chaser’s Heart” is naked venting.
Maybe they don’t understand music, but if let them choose one to listen second time, they will definitely choose Yu Wei’s this one, makes people hot-blooded.
The audience’s applause rose like tide, seems this is also a kind of their emotion venting, the sound wave almost flipping the entire venue’s roof.
Meng Han unsparingly offered his applause, this song very to his taste, if opportunity, he must try cover singing to see.
“Amazing!”
This song’s overall quality is slightly stronger than his work, but not exceeding too much, just the dream-chasing theme far easier to gain resonance than bow and arrow such thing.
But on performance level, their “Hou Yi” undoubtedly slightly wins, after all Yu Wei’s partner obviously had mistake, comprehensive down this match should be a tie…
“Yeah, first time chorus singing to this level isn’t it amazing?”
Tong Yulu’s voice carried some envy, if able to partner with Yu Wei for chorus once, even if let her act in Yu Wei’s movie or enter Yu Wei’s novel she’s willing.
“First time chorus?”
Meng Han thought he heard wrong, Yu Wei’s control flawless, even has a bit of turn rotten into miraculous meaning, this surely isn’t practiced for a long time?
“Program reported long-distance running athlete solo.”
“?”
Meng Han who hasn’t slept well for days suddenly a bit dazed, athlete preparing solo, meaning Yu Wei even didn’t practice singing?
Then what about that effortless control he has?
This still counts as tie…
