The mournful melody made everyone feel heavy-hearted.
At this point, the music slowed down.
People noticed that the lights on Su Can had disappeared, and he was standing in the darkness.
Meanwhile, another spotlight shone on Luo Yang.
Luo Yang's face now bears a weariness and heaviness beyond his years.
The accompaniment has also changed.
It has the same melody as the first verse, but with a different arrangement.
Su Can was a song that was changed at the last minute after Chen Kai's aunt, pop diva Wang Xiaona, made critical remarks.
The live band didn't have time to rehearse.
His accompaniment was an electronic version redeemed from the system.
But the system only provides configurations for top-tier musicians.
The accompaniment Su Can is now playing is like a super luxurious music band is accompanying him and Luo Yang.
This time, Luo Yang will be performing a song featuring the suona!
The accompaniment by Su Can at the beginning is a combination of Chinese and Western elements, with complex arrangements that create a beautiful sense of cultural collision.
The accompaniment now mainly uses the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) with guitar as a secondary instrument, and the arrangement has suddenly become simpler.
The melancholy of those folk tunes only deepened.
Luo Yang barely managed to speak amidst the mournful sound of the suona horn.
"The plum blossoms in the third nine-day period of winter have turned the snow on the mountains red."
The audience was surprised to find that Luo Yang sang the same song as Su Can, but through different arrangements and singing styles, he conveyed two completely different moods.
The viewers who were listening attentively to the music couldn't help but type out their opinions on the keyboard.
The number of bullet comments skyrocketed!
[My goodness, these two sing so well!]
[Her opening remarks were completely different; they amazed me!]
Is Luo Yang's singing really that good? How come I never noticed before?
Su Can delivered a solid performance, but this song truly brought out the brilliance of Luo Yang!
Why does Luo Yang's singing feel more expressive?
Su Can sang even better; her voice conveyed a sense of compassion and empathy.
[Ke Luoyang's feeling is more real; he sings with heart-wrenching pain.]
The crowd continued to discuss it.
Luo Yang continued singing.
"How long has the clear, cold river flowed?"
"Like a traveler who goes away and never returns."
"The girl stood alone at the door with tears in her eyes."
"How many autumns have passed in a single glance?"
"The snow seals the door, but we still send out the God of Wealth."
"The raging fire cannot burn away the person in my heart."
"Frost flowers fill the window on this auspicious day."
"We've decided to spend our lives together."
The last sentence suddenly rises to a high note.
The singing had a powerful penetrating quality that sent shivers down one's spine.
Although Luo Yang's voice and emotions were copied by Su Can using a copy card, Luo Yang was younger and had more perfect vocal cords.
His high notes are arguably even louder than Xiao Shenyang's.
[Waaaaah, Mommy, this kid sings so well!]
[I really didn't expect Luo Yang, who looks so unremarkable, to possess such skill!]
Am I the only one who thinks this song is well-written?
The two singers sang two different versions, but both were incredibly moving!
[The song opens with that feeling of heavy snow blocking the mountains and firecrackers everywhere in Northeast China. As a Northeasterner, it brought me to tears!]
[What kind of genius is Su Can, writing such wonderful lyrics?]
After the suona interlude, Luo Yang's voice became even higher and louder.
"The setting sun over the northern frontier is her red makeup."
"A mountain of pines and cypresses served as bridesmaids."
"Waiting for her lover to return home in glory."
"In this life, I will only be with you."
The powerful emotional impact drew the audience into the discussion.
[Got it! Su Can sings from the observer's perspective, while Luo Yang sings from the experiencer's perspective!]
[Su Can: I saw a young man from the next village get married! Luo Yang: I'm that young man who got married!]
Su Can is the storyteller, while Luo Yang is the groom waiting in the story!
Su Can's singing is desolate yet serene, conveying a profound love and compassion amidst suffering. Luo Yang, on the other hand, sings of the heart-wrenching pain of losing a lover!
After listening to "Blue and White Porcelain," what kind of deity is Su Can? After listening to "Northeast Folk Song," what kind of extraordinary talent is Su Can?
[The description upstairs is spot on! Blue and white porcelain embodies the ultimate beauty of vitality and poetry, while Northeast folk songs are filled with the ultimate desolation of death and reality!]
Su Can is terrifying!
At this moment, the stage lights changed again.
It's fully lit up.
Even in the shadows, Su Can was bathed in light.
Luo Yang took a few steps forward.
The two began their duet, each using their own timbre and singing style.
"The sound of gongs and drums fills the air as the first month of the lunar year begins."
"Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, a carpet of red petals fell to the ground."
“Every household lit up lanterns.”
"Another year of good harvest."
The lyrics are repeated twice, each time with a different melody.
The first melody is soaring, followed by the section about the setting sun over the northern frontier, creating a sense of musical progression.
But the second melody became low and gentle, with endless sorrow flowing from the song.
The song ends here.
The audience hadn't quite recovered yet.
What happened? Does this story have no ending?
Did the girl reunite with her lover?
[I bet they've reunited. Wasn't the opening scene about the young man rushing to catch a train? He's back! Otherwise, why would they mention lanterns and firecrackers at the end? Isn't that a celebration?]
[I listened carefully twice, and it seems they haven't returned! The second verse describes a traveler who leaves and never looks back, while the girl waits on and on. But in the end, every household lights lanterns, yet neither the girl nor the boy appears. So the girl is waiting in vain!]
[Holy crap, I have a feeling the girl is dead!]
[Isn't Luo Yang's song about the perspective of a pitiful young man who returns to his hometown only to find his lover has passed away?]
[Using a joyful scene to depict sorrow—that's pretty impressive!]
To be honest, I'm not from Northeast China, and I've been working here for ten years. I don't usually feel anything deeply from songs, but this one made me cry!
[Has no one mentioned the arrangement? I heard suona, guzheng, flute, pipa, yangqin, guitar, drums, and bass (feel free to add more) in the accompaniment, especially the shakuhachi, it's absolutely amazing!]
[You sang so well! Don't let him leave the stage! Lock Su Can and Luo Yang to the stage and keep singing, a million more times!]
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Su Can hugged Luo Yang to celebrate the successful completion of the six-minute song.
This impromptu training session was a test for both of them!
The live stream's popularity has once again broken records!
Zhang Xiaoxiao received instructions.
"Eliminate Luo Yang, stabilize Su Can first, and let Su Can advance if necessary."
Zhang Xiaoxiao understood that this was because Su Can's popularity and talent were too outstanding, and forcibly suppressing public anger would be difficult to quell.
The director wants to give up on Chi Xia.
Zhang Xiaoxiao walked onto the stage and said, "Let's take a look at the popularity first."
"Currently, Su Can is ranked first in popularity in the elimination zone, while Luo Yang is at the bottom."
"According to the rules of the competition."
Su Can smiled and picked up the microphone: "I have something to say!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "!!"
[Hahaha... Zhang Xiaoxiao is in danger!]
