Chapter 256: This Is True Music
“Please take my song
back to your home
Please leave your smile behind.”
The catchy singing, full of warm and inclusive strength, simply and powerfully expressed the essence of sharing and friendship.
The audience in front of the screen never expected Yu Wei to bring such a song full of childlike innocence; a few simple lines directly sublimated the entire program.
The laughter and joy from the music class just now seemed to become the biggest Easter egg of this song, exchanging singing for smiles to express the essence of music, and leaving singing is leaving memories and knowledge.
This song perfectly interpreted the meaning of music class, and it could even rise to another level: this is the beautiful vision of musical exchange around the world.
Music has no borders and doesn’t care about geography; even if separated by oceans and thousands of miles, it can still resonate with listeners and bring smiles.
Although Yu Wei’s song is simple, its implication is ridiculously profound, with a flavor of The Great Dao is Simple. It doesn’t seem like a singer’s representative work, but more like a song that could be included in textbooks…
No wonder Yu Wei didn’t write this song into the novel; it’s different—it’s meant to go into music textbooks.
Has Yu Wei evolved to this extent already?
Just with this song, he could leave his name in Chinese Music History. Singer and musician are two different concepts; the audience can clearly feel that Yu Wei is transitioning in that direction.
No need for the later “Tomorrow Will Be Better” to appear; this children’s song alone could shut up those who think Yu Wei has regressed.
They can’t understand complex songs, but this kind of work suitable for all ages reveals the level at first listen—no one can be stubborn about it.
“He’s so good at writing children’s songs.”
Everyone says Yu Wei is great at writing inspirational songs, but Qi Luo An personally feels this guy writing children’s songs is god-level among gods. “Treading Waves” gave people a lantern show, and this “Singing and Smiling” goes without saying.
Children’s songs only play in the high-end league.
This is unintentional for Yu Wei; children’s songs inherently don’t spread easily, and under innate disadvantages, those known to everyone are without exception masterpieces—very easy to exceed standards.
Yu Wei doesn’t redeem or remember complex songs; children’s songs are just his comfort zone. Without cheating, he could still be the king of children’s songs.
Qi Luo An, on the other hand, thought crooked right on the spot: so enthusiastic about children’s songs, looks like this guy really likes children…
Although the program was still continuing, the audience’s focus had already shifted. Chi Leying’s on-site reaction let Yu Wei casually sing to summarize.
As a result, Yu Wei directly used a song to summarize the meaning of music class, and the audience was perfectly children—is this inventory?
Did Yu Wei ever think before that he could go teach elementary school music class in the future? Obviously not, so how did he manage to be so perfectly timed?
This can’t be a work he wrote on the spot, right? Impromptu creation of music at this level— is he even human…
Looks like there’s only one explanation: the program team has a script, and arranged this performance for Yu Wei’s song.
Because Yu Wei is too heaven-defying, netizens have no choice but to believe it’s a script; otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.
The program team was forced to suffer reputation damage.
Think carefully and you’ll know it’s impossible; they can act, but can those fifth grade children act too? If their excitement and thrill are all acting, then domestic entertainment’s future is doomed.
As the program camera cut to the doctor group’s Su Xinnan and Meng Han, Qi Luo An finally had time to open her mobile phone and peep into Zhou Mumu’s Super Topic.
This afternoon there were still people sarcastically criticizing Yu Wei’s new song, but now they’ve quieted down and started a new round of self-hypnosis.
“Is it possible that Mu Mu forwarding Yu Wei’s new song isn’t full of twists and turns, but just wants us to help AI vote to eliminate Fei stuff?”
Yu Wei didn’t expect it could be interpreted this way. If Zhou Mumu wanted to eliminate Fei Hong, wouldn’t she just ask him for guest singing? Why all these twists and turns?
Can only say that after lying so much, even they themselves believe it.
The doctor group’s segment was too professional; it even made Yu Wei drowsy. He glanced at Qi Luo An next to him, who was happily playing on her mobile phone, and suddenly had an idea.
“Sit properly.”
Qi Luo An was stunned upon hearing this and subconsciously sat more upright. Isn’t her sitting posture already standard? Teacher addiction acting up, huh?
Who knew Yu Wei’s next action would make her hold her breath instantly. He didn’t speak, just turned sideways and gently rested his head on his own crossed legs.
This sudden intimate move made Qi Luo An’s body stiffen slightly. Who knew this kid would suddenly play this, and quite cleverly too.
Yu Wei was lying supine and could clearly feel the warmth of her legs.
This perspective was very novel; he could see Qi Luo An’s slightly trembling lowered eyelashes and her lightly pursed lower lip due to tension.
“What are you looking at?”
Qi Luo An directly flicked his forehead with her finger. Taking advantage is one thing, but staring too—getting bold, huh?
“Okay, okay, I’ll watch television, alright?”
Yu Wei simply rolled over from flat lying to side lying, but after being rubbed by his head like this, Qi Luo An felt an odd tingling, itchy.
“Don’t move around.”
Is this right?
Qi Luo An’s initial stiffness gradually melted away. She looked down at the familiar face on her legs and felt warmth in her heart.
She hesitated, then raised her hand, her fingertips gently threading through Yu Wei’s hair, stroking tenderly like combing feathers.
Time seemed to slow down.
The program on television was still noisy, but for them, it became vague distant background noise.
Yu Wei felt like he was floating on a gentle ocean, the warmth under his pillow his only anchor, the waves of clear-scented atmosphere making him even sleepier unconsciously.
“If I were a guy, your head would already be propped up.”
Qi Luo An’s shameless complaint shattered the warm atmosphere. This guy is still too perverted…
Yu Wei was instantly startled awake a bit and subconsciously nudged his head inward, as if to verify, but the next second he was stopped by Qi Luo An’s forehead flick.
“Pervert.”
“What pervert? Your big aunt flow, I’m just using my head to warm your belly—good intentions treated as donkey liver and lungs.”
6, using head to warm belly, huh? He can actually say such nonsense…
Those two used to joke without any propriety before, and now with no constraints at all, their banter became somewhat shameless. As they chatted, the program’s performance began.
First up was Chi Leying’s “Youth.” Although the adapted version shone at the Capital Concert, the original version taking the stage was a first.
Compared to AI’s emotionless version, Chi Leying’s performance was full of infectiousness. Not only did the on-site audience sing in chorus, even the bullet comments were rows of lyrics support.
Although probably brushed by Chi Leying fans, this song was indeed made famous by her, with good public appeal too.
No wonder artists like joining the national team; for many passersby not following the entertainment industry, artists praised by official media are definitely not bad.
With the adapted version paving the way, the original’s response was also good. Chi Leying rode this song to trending search again, forcibly squeezing in despite big melons around.
“Tonight there will probably be little musicians writing CP fanfic harming Chi-Yu again, sigh.”
Chi Leying fans are too career-focused, loving strong duo shipping points. Yu Wei is their ideal brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, she struck first!
While they were still writing fanfic to fantasize, this man was already pillowed on her legs, heh heh heh…
“Laughing like a villain—no one’s robbing you.”
Others just like his works; only Qi Luo An truly loves eating the history he writes. Yu Wei can tell which is better.
Qi Luo An said nothing, just kept stroking Yu Wei’s head. After so long pillowed, she didn’t feel her legs sore.
Maybe it’s related to her liking to put laptop on legs for writing; she really trained it.
Su Xinnan’s performance clearly didn’t hold the stage; bullet comments dropped a lot while she sang, only easing when Meng Han appeared, but still mediocre response.
Their song choices were too bland, completely unable to effectively rouse the audience after the first song exploded the venue. Pressure was once again on Yu Wei.
Audiences familiar with Yu Wei’s style already guessed what would happen next. Dare to give him pressure? Then it’s over…
“Just thinking about what’s coming next makes me want to laugh.”
Teacher Tian Jun’s singing is still fresh in mind; even after rehearsing together these past few days, she still couldn’t fully immunize.
When the soothing melodious prelude started, the audience didn’t know what was coming, until a wave of “high energy ahead” bullet comments popped up.
The first batch of listeners who finished were already deaf, specially turning back to remind audience friends to turn down the volume.
On-site audience had no such worry, but when the program airs, some fans turn up volume to fully enjoy Yu Wei’s songs—the scene’s tragedy is imaginable.
Unfortunately, the bullet comments’ warning was too late. Tian Jun opened half a beat late, and his broken-gong voice directly gave the expectant audience a heavy critical hit.
What is this? I ask you, what is this?
Netizens gasped in shock; has “Music Blind Box” finally reached the tormenting audience segment? The tone-deaf civilian has arrived.
Tian Jun’s simple two lines tortured the audience to the point of pain; this was the first time they couldn’t focus on Yu Wei’s song.
More despairing, they noticed Yu Wei on stage had no intention of intervening; this state was going to continue.
This song is actually called “Tomorrow Will Be Better”; listening further, they felt they might not see tomorrow’s sun…
Has this program finally got a civilian that even Yu Wei can’t carry? Actually directly choosing to slack off?
The audience never felt a song so long, though Tian Jun actually only sang a short segment.
Seeing him retreat, everyone felt like they were granted amnesty. Honestly, they didn’t catch what Tian Jun sang earlier.
“Gently knock awake the sleeping soul
Slowly open your eyes
Look at the busy world
Is it still lonely spinning nonstop.”
The tender childlike voices rising directly soothed their mental wounds; at this moment, the loud singing was pure salvation.
This is what real music is!
Yu Wei’s move was too ruthless; following Tian Jun, anyone pulled up to sing would sound good, let alone these children who weren’t bad.
Like hearing heavenly music, ears cleared; only then could they savor Yu Wei’s song. The soothing yet grand melody directly captured their attention.
This retro arrangement pulled them back to childhood instantly; the children’s humming was dreamlike, not only soothing the earlier “wounds” but also evoking their childhood memories.
Yu Wei’s most skilled memory knife, though late, arrives. Clearly first listen, yet it pulls them into memories?
Non-existent memories increased…
Damn, writing this would get stuck in review, holy crap.
