The storm has just begun tonight!
The overseas live broadcast rooms even showed a level of explosion that far exceeded the imagination of domestic netizens!
certainly!
Seeing this level of god-level performance! No one's blood will not boil! Nietzsche once said: Without music, life is meaningless!
Under Lu Chen's interpretation, the song "The Lone Warrior" was as brilliant as the most beautiful chapter! The applause from the audience lasted for a long time.
Even in the relatively closed space, a resonance was formed! In the rest area below the stage, Adam and Vancia were also excited to the point of madness!
So scary!
That man on the stage is so scary!
There seems to be no trace of weakness in him!
Perfect to the point of being impeccable.
Even if you don’t understand what the lyrics are about, the heart-pounding sense of power is simply unstoppable and irresistible!
It even gives them a strong feeling that "only those who don't understand are advanced"!
So exciting!!
I thought the verse part of this song was quite dull, until the chorus came out...
Shocking! Behind the stage.
At this time, Taylor Swift was as deeply shocked as Lena.
I can’t believe a Dragon Country song could have such an explosive live performance.
In fact, Adam's stage performance was as solid and high-level as always.
But compared to Lu Chen, I always feel like something is missing.
As for what was missing, neither of them could tell for a moment.
All I can say is that Adam’s performance was within expectations.
But Lu Chen's was far beyond my expectations! Especially the chorus, which was so shocking! Yes! It was beyond my expectations!
That’s the feeling!
…
The show gradually came to an end with the cheers from the audience.
Teacher He took to the stage again and invited the judges to comment.
All the judges gave their own evaluations from their respective professional perspectives.
From the prelude, the verse, the interlude, to the lyrics, I especially praise this excellent translation.
What is a little surprising is that.
Howard, a professor at Berklee College of Music, actually has some knowledge of Chinese.
Except for Longguo Music Professor Zhang Han.
He was the only one who read the Chinese version of the lyrics.
"In fact, I want to tell the other judges that there is a fundamental difference between Chinese songs and English songs. We generally don't pay much attention to the lyrics of English songs, because the origin of Western music is piano music and symphony music. In essence, we have always focused on melody. But half of the essence of Chinese songs lies in its lyrics. If you don't understand its lyrics, it is actually difficult for us to fairly evaluate a Chinese song. This is because Chinese lyrics involve 'rhyme', that is, the final vowel of the last word must be similar or unified. And we don't care about this. So I believe that if you understand Chinese, you will like this song more, I promise!"
Howard finished.
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
"Thank you Professor Howard for your comments. I didn't expect you to have such a solid foundation in Chinese. Thank you very much for your love of Dragon Country culture. Thank you also to all the teachers for your comments!"
Teacher He led the applause.
"Then let's see how Mr. Lu Chen's song scores. First, let's look at the audience's score. Please look at the big screen!"
The data came out one by one soon.
Number of people who rated: 143.62 million.
Teacher He: "The final score is..."
This moment.
All the fans' hearts were in their throats.
Heartbeat accelerated to the extreme:
“9.63 points!!!”
"ah!!!!!!!!"
The audience screamed instantly!
…
Han Hong stood up: "It's stable! It's stable!"
Sun Nan: "Awesome! It seems that good songs really can kill everyone!"
…
Han Youshang also breathed a sigh of relief.
This score is basically safe!
…
Teacher He: "And the total score of the judging panel is..."
My heartbeat quickened again
"97 points!"
As expected.
The lowest score was again from the Japanese professor: 7 points.
"From my personal perspective, I think this is a relatively ordinary song. There are many such works in Japanese music."
He explained a little bit.
But apparently the other professors didn't care either.
Just ignore it.
"Final score: 9.66 points"
Slightly higher than Adam by about 0.2 points.
…
"Mr. Lu Chen, this is a perfect performance! If my style wasn't so different from this song, I would even like to cover it."
Adam held out his hand in congratulations.
Truly excellent singers always appreciate each other.
He recalled his feelings when he watched Lu Chen sing.
In addition to feeling that the other person is very involved and emotional.
More importantly, he felt even more the power and spirit surging from the other party's soul.
This is the most valuable state for a singer.
Of course, there is a certain gap between the two songs.
His songs are love songs.
In contrast, the song "The Lone Brave Man" reveals a unique theme from its title, not to mention its unique background of creation.
Win or lose, it doesn't matter at this moment.
Even if you lose, it is still an honorable defeat.
At least he forced out Lu Chen who was even more explosive and unstoppable than the one in the concert!
Before him.
All contestants of this variety show, including Vancia.
No player can do it.
He is the only one at the moment! …
"Thank you, Mr. Adam. Your singing skills and live performance will be unforgettable to me! I think there is no winner or loser between us. The communication of music is more important than winning or losing."
After the two congratulated each other.
Adam waved and left the stage again.
Seeing Lu Chen defeat these two super powerful singers who had defeated Longguo to the level of defending the national gate.
For a moment, including the fans at the concert and all the Dragon Country fans outside the screen, they all felt the depression that had been stuck in their chests for more than a year.
Finally, today, at this moment, I have completely and openly let it all out! This is a true peak contest! It is a fair duel!
It is a top-level competition where victory is honorable, but failure is equally admirable!
For a moment, the overwhelming sound at the scene once again engulfed everything.
Everyone was shouting Lu Chen's name.
Including outside the screen, there are countless people in countless places.
Shout Out Loud!
Everyone knew that this was not only Lu Chen's victory, but also theirs! ...
"Then, we will officially enter the second part of tonight!"
Teacher He continued to move forward with the program.
"I believe everyone has seen the previous preview. This time, as the final episode of 'Microphone', we have invited two top female singers who are currently on the international stage. If nothing unexpected happens, please give me applause!"
“Wow!”
Applause broke out.
"Money!"
“Reina!”
There was no shortage of screams from the audience.
As world superstars, the two have an astonishing fan base in China.
Even in the director's camera, some fans' enthusiasm is no less than that of Lu Chen's fans.
The influence of international superstars is evident! …
——【Oh yeah! Taylor is here! 】
——【After waiting for so long, the most influential singer is about to appear! 】
——[If Adam is the representative of male singers in the European and American music scene, then Reina is the representative of female singers! ]
——[Taylor’s singing skills are really average, not necessarily as good as the first female singer to appear, but her strength lies in her creative ability! ]
--【agree!】
——[I remember that Taylor and Reyna didn't appear? It seems that they wrote songs for them, and if they were satisfied, they would appear? Is that right? Or did I remember it wrong?]
——【Yes, you are right, that's it! 】
——【Wow, you are worthy of the treatment of a world superstar! So are you going to challenge yourself to create a work next? OMG! This is too difficult! 】
——【Please, who said that Dragon Country variety shows are not good? Isn’t this show good? Is there such a variety show in our country? This is so good! I have been strongly curious! 】
——【What’s interesting is not the variety show, but the talented Chinese singer on the stage. 】
——【Yes, that's right! But from the setting of the program, it's not hard to see that they recognize the mainstream of the European and American music scene! Because their superstars need to write songs and get the consent of our singers before they can go on stage. This is something to be proud of! 】
——【Hahaha, I was just about to say this, this is a salute from the lower-level music scene to the higher-level music scene! I like this feeling!】
…
Damn it!
What the hell?
Watching the style of the overseas live broadcast room suddenly being distorted.
Domestic fans looked at each other in bewilderment.
What does it mean for the lower-level music scene to pay tribute to the higher-level music scene?
So our polite welcome and courteous treatment were seen as a sign of weakness by these foreigners?!
this……
Suddenly, the anger of domestic fans flared up again.
——【Please, we are just following etiquette, don't get the wrong idea, OK?】
——【That is, we are a country of etiquette, and this is just out of respect for you. 】
——【Okay, if you didn't make this request, do you think you could invite Taylor and Rena? 】
——【Yes! Can you please give it to me?】
——【Have you ever thought about what it means that even your big star wants to get our big star's song? It means that your big star is also a loyal fan of Lu Chen, or at least recognizes Lu Chen's ability. Don't forget how crazy the song "Shape" made you? Including the song "See You Again" just now, you were also shouting that it was the champion single! 】
——【Fuck you, brother, what a great logic! 】
——【This wave is truly a polite version of face-riding output! Talented! 】
The comment section suddenly became a debate.
Originally, the group of foreigners were quite proud of themselves.
In the end, he was defeated by a netizen from Longguo, leaving him speechless.
Uh...it seems to make sense.
Even Taylor and Lena wanted to get Lu Chen's song.
This... the logic seems to be closed? !
…
And now, on stage.
Teacher He also briefly repeated the content of the second round of competitions, and then said enthusiastically: "Next, let us invite the world's top superstar, Taylor Foster, to take his place in the stage preparation area!"
Backstage.
Taylor and Reyna waved.
Come to the stage preparation area.
There is a light-transmitting curtain in the middle.
The light comes from behind.
Taylor Swift's silhouette was projected onto the screen, making her look mysterious and attractive! Taylor Swift even turned sideways to say hello!
This immediately caused screams from the audience!
Top superstars! Taylor Swift, who didn't even come to Longguo to hold a concert, is now just "one step away" from them! Her graceful figure has aroused endless reverie among netizens.
It is worthy of being the mysterious East!
This move of "reluctant but welcoming" is truly stunningly designed!
…
"Teacher Lu Chen, the next stage will be handed over to you again. Come on!"
After saying this, Teacher He was about to step down from the stage.
"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. He! Otherwise... I won't sing anymore."
Lu Chen made a shocking statement, which instantly stunned the netizens.
"Not singing anymore?"
Teacher He didn't even react: "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen smiled and explained: "These two songs are written in the style of Miss Taylor and Miss Reina. It's not appropriate for a man like me to sing women's songs. If I were wearing a mask, I would sing it. But now... how about forget it?"
To be honest, these two songs were written for them.
He could barely sing Reina's song.
The key is this song by Taylor Swift, it's a pure little girl's song, and he, a grown man, jumps and dances while singing a love song.
It's not like candy is super sweet! Just thinking about that picture, it's so beautiful that Lu Chen himself can't bear to look at it...
Now that the mask is off.
Lu Chen thought about it and decided not to sing...
Anyway, people want to listen to the song, they don’t have to sing it yourself.
The skills were demonstrated in the previous round.
The next two songs themselves don't have much technique to speak of.
Lena's "Love the Way You Lie" does have a passionate hardcore rap.
As for Taylor Swift's song "Love Story", if it were released in China, it would probably be called a cliché song...
But fortunately, Lu Chen has always been thorough in his work.
Before coming here, I not only recorded the pure version.
At the same time, I also found a junior sister in my company and recorded an audio version.
Since even the challenge song "See You Again" was only played once.
The following two songs can do the same.
Lu Chen immediately expressed his idea.
"this……"
Teacher He looked at the director in the audience for a moment.
But the director pointed in Taylor's direction.
Teacher He understood: "Ms. Taylor, what do you think of this arrangement?"
Taylor listened to the female translator's explanation and nodded: "OK! No problem!"
She raised the microphone directly.
It doesn’t matter whether Lu Chen sings or not.
She came here purely for the singing.
Hear Taylor's voice.
The scene couldn't help but become restless again!
“Taylor!!”
Male fans are even crazier than female fans!
Seeing that my idol is so popular in Dragon Country.
Overseas netizens couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
What a pity, Lu Chen didn’t sing? ! Why didn’t he sing! ?
Sing for me!
…
Now, everything is ready.
The scene suddenly darkened again.
All fans are looking forward to what kind of song Lu Chen will write for Taylor? …
——[Can he really write songs for girls? ]
——【It would be interesting if Taylor didn’t like it.】
——[Taylor has a sweet style. A male singer writing such a song? Frankly speaking, I still find it hard to imagine.]
Reminds me of Taylor Swift’s style.
It's not just overseas netizens who are uncertain.
Domestic netizens are actually similar.
There is only one Taylor Swift in the world.
Her musical style seems to be replicable to some extent, but no one has succeeded so far.
The instructions are not simple.
Is Lu Chen okay?!
For a moment, netizens were unconsciously worried again.
The eyes outside the screen were all wide open.
Anxiously waiting.
…
Behind the curtain.
Taylor Swift also held the lyrics page in her hand, ready to listen to it accordingly.
The lyrics of this song do fit her style, but I don't know what the melody is like? Is it really suitable for her?
…
There is almost a consensus on this issue at the moment.
Even the ten judges expressed their expectations.
They may not necessarily be fully aware of the styles of other singers.
But Taylor and Reyna's styles are almost well known.
A pop, country, sweet, and relaxed style.
One who mainly plays R&B and soul music and likes to show his attitude through songs.
It can be said to be completely different.
It is not difficult to see from the "Lone Brave Man" just now that Lu Chen's personal style seems to be more suitable for Lena.
Rather than mildew.
so……
Can he write an innocent little sweet song? The answer will be revealed soon!
…
And now, as the lights come on again.
The song title slowly appeared on the screen: "Love Story"! Composer: Lu Chen.
Lyrics: Lu Chen.
Arranger: Lu Chen.
The impact of these few lines is as strong as ever!
…
Amid the overwhelming heartbeat.
A relaxing and joyful prelude suddenly sounded at this moment!
Almost instantly.
Overseas fans all felt a strong sense of familiarity.
…
“Is this a guitar and a banjo?”
The judges immediately recognized the instrument used in this catchy melody.
These are the instruments commonly used in European and American country music.
And in the latter part of the melody, even the sounds of string instruments, organ and mandolin can be heard.
…
Taylor Swift behind the scenes also has an inexplicable sense of familiarity
This is a lighthearted, cheerful melody.
It was like walking on a country road! This seemed... to be her style! "Unbelievable! Could he really write a song in my style?"
At one point, she even felt that the prelude of this song was more Taylor Swift than Taylor Swift! …
“We were both young when I first saw you. I closed my eyes and the flashback starts.”
…
When the prelude ended, the singing began.
The lively melody touches people's heart.
There was an uproar at the scene! ...
——【What? ！】
——【OMG! OMG! 】
——【This is Taylor! Damn! This is Taylor! 】
——【I can’t believe it, God! This is clearly Taylor’s song, right?!】
——【Please, don't tell me this is true! He can actually write songs in the style of Taylor?】
——[Are you sure Lu Chen wrote this himself? This is definitely Taylor! ]
As the verse progresses.
Overseas netizens were shocked!
The person singing is a female singer.
Although the sound is a little different from Taylor's.
But that familiar feeling was too strong! If Taylor wasn’t right here! Right in front of Lu Chen!
Many overseas netizens even doubted whether this was a pre-planned script?
How on earth did he do that? Is there anything else he can't do?!
…
As the melody becomes more dynamic and cheerful.
Until the chorus.
The whole stage seemed to be full of flowers.
The refreshing and comfortable singing voice swept the whole audience.
Like a breeze blowing into the hearts of every fan.
It makes people unable to help but sway their bodies along with the melody.
Below the stage.
Even the majority of domestic fans were deeply moved by this English song.
The ups and downs of the sea of light In the director's camera, the expressions on their faces are no longer as enthusiastic as before, but purely for the music!
Relaxed, relaxing atmosphere.
Driven by the singing.
The originally hot night sky suddenly became cool!
Even Teacher He, who was standing by, danced to the melody and said, "Teacher Lu Chen! If I didn't know the whole story, I would have thought this was Taylor Swift's new song! It sounds good! This song is really good!"
Lu Chen heard this and smiled.
That must be her style!
This song "Love Story" is Taylor Swift's masterpiece that has become popular all over the world.
It’s just that Taylor Swift doesn’t have that.
I've already said that they are all big moves! Then they must be big moves! If you want to get involved, you must keep your credibility!
Thirteen million dollars, I'll take it! ...
As the music gets more and more exciting!
At this moment, all the fans in the venue were not satisfied with just sitting there, and some even stood up and danced along with the melody.
Even behind the curtain.
Taylor Swift herself couldn't help herself, and the silhouette of her dancing made people feel her excitement and joy so clearly! ...
——【Oh my god! This song is so beautiful! 】
——【This Dragon Country man is so crazy! This is much better than the songs written by Taylor himself! 】
——[Yeah, more Taylor than Taylor! OMG! It’s unbelievable! ]
——【I really love this song! This song reminds me of my first love! I found that Taylor's songs all seem to have this feeling! 】
——【Genius! Real genius! I believe if Taylor sang this song, she could dominate the Billboard charts for a year! 】
——【This melody is so addictive! So nice! So nice!!!】
——【fuck baby!! This is so amazing! It feels like any song he writes will be a champion single! If he comes to develop overseas, he will completely conquer us! 】
——【Trust me, don't let him out! He will slaughter the entire European and American music scene! I have this feeling!】
After just half of the song, the overseas live studio was completely blown away! Almost without exception, everyone was completely captivated by this cheerful and relaxing song that made people unable to put it down!
He is truly a genius! An all-powerful genius! …
Until the song is over.
The melody ends!
Everyone is still immersed in the aftertaste of the song and can't extricate themselves! Even Taylor Swift herself feels the same!
…
"So Miss Taylor, do you think this song is satisfactory to you? If so, please step out of the curtain!"
On the stage, Teacher He almost shouted out this decisive moment!
For a moment, everyone stared at the screen.
The next second! The curtain was pushed open!
That face filled with surprise and emotion suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
As beautiful as a fairy tale scene!
"Yes! I like it!"
“Wow!!”
At this moment! The screams and applause at the scene reached a boiling point again! The entire screen was filled with fans who were extremely excited.
“Taylor!!!”
“Taylor!!!”
Taylor waved his hand and walked straight to Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu Chen, you are incredible!"
It is totally unexpected.
This world superstar took the initiative to give a hug when they met!
"ah!!!"
At this moment, the scene was about to explode!
…
[Damn, sneak attack! ]
[Taylor Swift is getting better now, and can even hug my Lu Chen! ]
[Hey, hey, hey, don’t hug me! Who told you to hug me?]
Lu Chen’s female fans are collectively jealous at this moment!
How can that be possible?
He threw himself into my arms right away! …
"Mr. Lu Chen, thank you for this song. It really touched me completely."
"As long as Miss Taylor likes it, it's my honor."
Lu Chen still kept his gentlemanly steps.
Keep a proper distance.
"Can I ask a question then?"
"Okay, go ahead."
“How long did it take you to write this song?”
Taylor now really wants to know how much time Lu Chen spent writing this song.
This also shows to a certain extent his understanding of his own style.
Lu Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"Uh...if I remember correctly, about seven or eight minutes? About that time, probably around this time."
As soon as Lu Chen said this.
Taylor Swift’s expression froze on the spot.
Seven...seven or eight minutes? What?! He only spent seven or eight minutes to sing this song that made her unable to control herself?! (End of this chapter)
