Ning Wei was in a good mood, which Duan Yiran and Du Jian could both tell. To be precise, Ning Wei had been in a good mood for a while. A few days ago, he even wrote a sweet song for the first time ever.

It was a miracle.

It's no exaggeration to say that Ning Wei writes about life, travel, and every detail of life, but she has almost never written a decent sweet song. Even when sweet songs were popular in the music scene a few years ago, Ning Wei didn't manage to come up with a single one.

Ning Wei is better at writing about his own experiences. Given his usual aloof demeanor, the other members of "Blue" find it hard to imagine Ning Wei singing sweet songs.

—It feels like they'll drop a bomb while singing.

Duan Yiran and Du Jian are also creating music, but their compositions are not as consistent as Ning Wei's. Every song Ning Wei produces is a masterpiece. Duan Yiran and Du Jian occasionally write one or two songs that are far above average in quality. However, overall, Ning Wei is responsible for most of the creation of "Blue".

In the words of his fans, perhaps it is precisely because Ning Wei is not good with words that he puts all his thoughts and feelings into his songs, which is why his songs can move his fans.

Ning Wei was in a fully charged state at this moment, and Duan Yiran guessed that he probably drew strength from the song "Fly".

Duan Yiran was also surprised. He had heard Ji Yan's cover of "The Traveler". Compared to when he sang "The Traveler", Ji Yan was more skilled at handling the song "Flying", but he did not abandon his own style.

Besides Ji Yan, the performances of the other members of the "Wings" group were equally amazing.

Duan Yiran is the keyboardist, Du Jian is the guitarist, and Ning Wei is in charge of singing for "Blue". But that doesn't mean they can't sing. When they hold concerts, they will sing a few lines in response to the fans' requests. However, compared to Ning Wei, their singing skills are much worse. In Duan Yiran's opinion, people who can't sing don't need to be singers.

Idols are at the bottom of the social hierarchy because, in the public's perception, good-looking people become actors, good singers become solo singers, and only those who are mediocre, who seem to be good at everything but are actually not good at anything, become idols. As long as they have enough members, their popularity will naturally rise, and no one will notice if individual members make mistakes.

Idols rely on fans for survival. They gain popularity and fame through their fans, but at the same time, their shortcomings are overlooked by fans, or even if they discover problems, fans will choose to ignore them.

Most fans have a simple requirement for their idols: don't date.

The song "Fly" just now really refreshed Duan Yiran's understanding of idols.

He hadn't seen "Idol Generation" and didn't know the specifics of when "Wings" formed, but he was certain that if "Wings" could maintain the quality of their song "Fly," they would definitely have a place in the music scene.

...

After the performance, Ji Yan and the others quietly sat down in the second row of the audience. The "blue" live show was about to begin, and they definitely didn't want to miss it.

“This is at least the front row VIP section, a ticket costs four figures.” Fang Yu held up a finger, “Enough for Teacher Ji to treat me to hot pot ten times.”

Ji Yan: "? Why should I treat you to this? I'm still a genuine debtor."

“I’m different, I’m a mortgage slave.” Fang Yu patted Ji Yan on the shoulder. “A debtor is still a debtor, but I’m a slave.”

Ji Yan: "I have never seen such a shameless person."

"Teacher Ji, don't be so stingy."

"Heh." Ji Yan looked at Lu Wei and Xie Mingxuan. "How come I never realized he was so shameless before?"

"I only found out after the group was formed," Lu Wei sighed. "It was too late to return it."

In the end, after discussing it, the group decided that Xie Mingxuan would treat them to hot pot. As their relationship grew closer, Ji Yan and Fang Yu had figured out Xie Mingxuan's calm exterior and honest nature. The two of them were always eating and drinking for free, and Xie Mingxuan was very indulgent towards them.

Lu Wei: "..."

well.

However, when "Wings" first formed, they never expected the group to develop to this point. At that time, they thought the group might disband and even worried about what they could do after the group disbanded. But now—for all the members of "Wings," now is the best moment.

Lu Wei cherished this time, and he believed Xie Mingxuan felt the same way.

...

After a while, "blue" finally appeared on the stage.

Sitting in the second row of the audience, Ji Yan and the others could clearly hear the shouts coming from behind them, one wave after another. Although this meet-and-greet was not actually "blue's" home ground, their enthusiasm still overshadowed everything else.

This is "blue".

When Ji Yan went to ask for autographs, he felt that "Blue" was just an ordinary person. Lead singer Ning Wei had a quiet personality, and keyboardist Yi Ran and guitarist Du Jian did not have the airs of big stars. But just as he felt at the concert, once the members of "Blue" stood on the stage, they had a captivating power.

It was as if, at that moment, ordinariness vanished from them, and the entire stage was suddenly taken over.

Ning Wei wasn't exactly handsome; his looks were only slightly better than the average person. But when he started singing, Ji Yan found it hard to take his eyes off him.

This song is called "Migratory Birds," and it's the theme song that the "Blue" band sang for director Li Xiang's film. It was the work that won director Li Xiang the Chang Kong Award, the highest award in the film industry. This song, "Migratory Birds," earned "Blue" the Chang Kong Award for Best Original Film Song shortly after their debut.

Ning Wei's voice has a powerful ability to move people. When he is completely immersed in it, the penetrating power of his voice, the emotions he expresses through the song, his explosive power... Ji Yan can hardly describe it in words. He only feels that at this moment, his whole body is boiling because of Ning Wei's voice.

He could hardly distinguish between the Ning Wei who was signing autographs for him and the Ning Wei on stage; it felt as if two souls lived inside each other's bodies.

It sounds sooooo good!

The closer he got to "blue," the stronger the feeling became. Ning Wei's singing blew towards him like the wind, making his heart restless.

Ji Yan had always thought he sang well. His cover of "The Traveler" was loved by many fans, and some even said that his cover was second only to the original. But now, looking at Ning Wei's performance, Ji Yan truly realized the gap between himself and Ning Wei.

This wasn't jealousy. Ji Yan had always liked Ning Wei's songs, and he just wanted to get closer to "blue" because "blue" was his goal.

The live stream chat was buzzing with excitement as viewers watched the "blue" performance.

"It's so good! I could listen to 'Migratory Birds' a hundred times and never get tired of it."

"One song, 'Fly,' and one song, 'Migratory Birds,' today I heard the best live performance ever."

“I love ‘blue’, my eternal god.”

The performance of "Blue" continued. In the footage, the audience noticed that Du Jian had walked off the stage with his guitar at some point, stood in the front row of the audience, held a microphone, and sat next to "Wing". He first let Xie Mingxuan sing a verse, then let Lu Wei and Fang Yu sing a verse, and then the microphone was placed in front of Ji Yan.

"Double fandom ecstasy! Will 'Blue' interact with 'Wing'?"

"But I'm more worried that Ning Wei will be angry, hahaha, wow, their voices are so compatible, Ji Yan and Ning Wei!"

With the microphone held in front of him for a long enough time, Ji Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue singing. He didn't know why Du Jian kept holding the microphone for him—after listening to Ning Wei's version of "Migratory Birds," Ji Yan realized that although he could sing the song, he could never capture the essence of the other singer's voice.

Actually, the "blue" label on this song isn't very strong. After all, it's the theme song for director Li Xiang's movie. To ensure that the songs serve the movie perfectly, director Li Xiang usually doesn't choose songs already written by a certain singer, but rather handles everything himself. The song "Migratory Birds" tells the story of a girl from a water town in Jiangnan breaking through tradition and running towards freedom. The song fits the "blue" style very well, but it's one of the few works not created by "blue".

However, in the eyes of the viewers watching the live broadcast, Ji Yan and Ning Wei's duet did not ruin the artistic conception of the song "Migratory Birds". On the contrary, their voices blended together at this moment, full of emotion, and brought the same emotion to the audience.

"It sounds great!!"

"Ji Yan's cover of 'Blue' is already very good, and his duet with Ning Wei is also great. Moreover, they don't have that feeling of having to suppress each other in some duets. They are always cooperating with each other."

+1.

Before the audience had had enough, Du Jian put away the microphone and went back on stage.

"Great! But I still hope there will be more."

"It sounds really good!"

This scene was naturally posted on Weibo by viewers watching the live stream. In any case, it's not easy to hear Ning Wei sing outside of a concert, let alone have the rare opportunity to sing with other singers.

"It's incredibly beautiful. I don't think Ning Wei and Ji Yan are particularly technically skilled singers, but their songs are both incredibly moving."

"Actually, that's what makes it difficult to sing. Some singers' songs are like that; they don't sound like they have any special skills or show off their techniques, but you'll know how difficult it is when you actually sing them."

"The two of them sang 'Migratory Birds' very well; Ji Yan's voice and Ning Wei's voices really complement each other."

What surprised netizens even more was the tacit understanding between the two when they sang – Du Jian suddenly took the microphone from them. When they sang, Ji Yan and Ning Wei did not have any rehearsal or command. They sang their own songs, but their voices blended together perfectly, even better than if they had rehearsed many times.

Netizens even felt that if they had rehearsed too many times, the two might not have been as natural as they were just now.

"I'm really looking forward to the Wings Group and the Color Group singing together."

"Hey, Du Jian just did it on a whim, but everyone in the 'Wings' group sang wonderfully. Xie Mingxuan, Lu Weifang, and Fang Yu's voices are all unbeatable."

"Those who have been following Wings Group all along say that their singing skills were definitely not as good as they are now when they first debuted with Idol Generation. They persevered step by step and finally made it to the top."

The members of "Wings" were actually a little confused. Fang Yu blinked and asked, "We just sang a duet with Ning Wei?"

"Um."

"I've already decided to stop washing my eyes after seeing my idol, and now I can't even brush my teeth anymore?"

Ji Yan, Xie Mingxuan, and Lu Wei: "..."

If possible, they would like to stay away from this person.
