Song Xingfei nodded, thinking it was the songwriter's request, which was understandable.
Fei Fei sighed, "I know this Wen Chu. He's somewhat famous, but people online say he sings without emotion, just pure technique."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun became interested: "You know all this?"
Feifei nodded: "I've heard his songs. His former company should have terminated his contract. Now he's a freelancer, and when he's not working, he does live streams online."
"Of course, even if I just casually sing a couple of lines, I'm better than the average internet celebrity. I don't need a sound card for my live streams, and I still have quite a few fans."
With that, Liu Yun understood.
Singing on live stream is fine, but if he were to actually go on stage, the audience's expectations would be higher, and they would feel that he lacks emotion.
"These days, it's really not easy to find a singer who's all about technique!" Liu Yun's curiosity grew even stronger.
Nowadays, singers are judged by their popularity, and with all sorts of effects and auto-tuning, the skill threshold has been lowered.
In such an environment, how could there be a singer who is all about technique?
How strange!
Song Xingfei was taken aback: "According to you... it really is..."
Before long, Liu Yun saw a thin boy walk in.
She's very slim, but her face is slightly round; she's definitely in the same category as Yin Tian.
Her face shape makes her look younger.
Considering that the average height of male celebrities in the entertainment industry is 1.8 meters, he is considered short, probably around 1.7 meters.
She wasn't wearing any makeup, not even a bare-faced look... that's really honest!
Her features are a bit ordinary, but the proportions are great, making her a face that's perfect for makeup.
Overall, it's decent but unremarkable.
Moreover, the way Wen Chu walked in made him seem very nervous; his back was slightly hunched, which was a sign of a lack of confidence.
After a brief self-introduction, I started singing.
It has to be said that you can tell a person's skill just by their first words.
As soon as the voice came out, Liu Yun's brows relaxed.
"My sword, where shall it go? Love and hate, I cannot be devoted to only one..."
It's hard to imagine that someone with such a small build could have such a loud, fleshy voice.
A typical loud-voiced singer, with enunciation reminiscent of singers from the 1980s, each word clear, pitch incredibly accurate, and tone remarkably stable.
Even without the music playing, it felt as if I could hear the melody.
Liu Yun was surprised; this person's performance was absolutely amazing!
She appeared nervous, but it didn't affect her singing at all.
The voice in this song is not as deep as the original singer's, but it has a rare youthful spirit, still unrestrained and bold. The song unfolds a picture of the ups and downs of the martial arts world.
The sound reached a climax, echoing throughout the factory shed.
Keep in mind, this was done without any equipment or loudspeakers...
If this were a martial arts world, he would be a master of the Lion's Roar technique.
A song was over before we even realized it.
Song Xingfei exclaimed in surprise, "As expected of someone with perfect skills, I really can't hear a single flaw."
Fei Fei: "It really is amazing... right!"
Liu Yun chuckled: "Be confident, you really are very capable."
"It's a tragedy of this era and this industry that singers like these don't become popular."
The three whispered among themselves, and Wen Chu grew increasingly nervous.
Song Xingfei: "It's true that everyone says he sings without emotion."
Liu Yun: "...Standardization, is this really not a publicity stunt bought by a competitor?"
"Tell me, is this performance good or bad?"
Feifei: "It sounds great. The clips I watched before came back to me. The clips used the instrumental music from this song."
"It was automatically substituted."
Song Xingfei couldn't deny it: "It really sounds great."
Liu Yun concluded: "A typical victim of the Gresham's Law principle of 'bad money drives out good money'."
Fei Fei couldn't help but say, "Director Liu, please speak up! I feel like he's about to break apart standing there. Why don't we choose him?"
Liu Yun coughed and said, "Your voice is good, and you sing very well, but your posture and expression tell me that you are not confident in your abilities."
Wen Chu scratched her head and said awkwardly, "Everyone says that I sing without emotion, only with technique."
"I've never sung an OST before. I'm afraid that I won't have enough emotion to express the mood of a song that you can only hear the sound of."
Liu Yun laughed: "No feelings?"
"That's not how it is. How should I put it? Your technique is amazing, so amazing that it has become an instinct for singing. You can completely mask all your emotions as soon as you open your mouth."
"At the very least, in this song, your technique will always be 100 points, and your emotion will always be 80 points."
"But in reality, if the emotion in a song reaches 80 points, it's already top-notch. It's just that if your technique is even better, what most people can see is the highest level."
"Also, you can hit high notes effortlessly, so don't make too much of a show of force or look too fierce... You need to learn to manage your facial expressions. Being pleasing to the eye is not just about your singing voice, but also about the image you project while singing."
Fei Fei and Song Xingfei were shocked. "Oh, is that so?"
It's not that there's no emotion, but rather that technique always outweighs emotion, creating a difference in how people perceive it.
Of course, looking back now, it's possible that the competition was also a key factor.
Liu Yun: "Can you sing it again? Xingfei and Feifei, turn your backs and listen. Don't think of this as the emotionless singer that people online are talking about."
"By the way, take out the fight scene we saw that day and watch it carefully."
Encouraged by Liu Yun's look, Wen Chu took a breath and spoke again.
Every word, every sound, was exactly the same as the previous time.
It's actually more accurate and better.
Seemingly, the praise boosted his confidence considerably.
Since his debut, he has been constantly questioned. Everyone said that he sang without emotion, and even the company thought so. As a result, he received fewer and fewer resources and eventually gave up on him.
