Chapter 58 "Suddenly Missing You"



"I wonder what the four band members in the audience think?" Lu Jiuning asked this question after Tian Xin turned the camera around.

Everyone else turned their attention to the four bands and suddenly realized that the four bands were somewhat like mentors, while the Masked Band was the student.

Karen and Mangosteen were actually used to this format; it was just a change of environment.

Since the young lady has asked this question, it wouldn't hurt to talk about it.

But they first looked at the Firefly and Ghost bands around them, "Do you have anything to say?"

Ghost Band's lead singer, Gui Tai, made no comment. Inspirational songs are different from their style, so it's hard to give an evaluation.

Jiang Jing from the Firefly Band stood up: "I won't comment on the composition and arrangement, but this song showed me that the two lead singers are amazing."

Your voices and techniques are very rock and roll; I believe your upcoming songs will be even better. I'm looking forward to them!

Saying it or not saying it makes little difference.

But people in the entertainment industry have to learn some nonsense literature.

"Let me say a few words!" Mangosteen pushed Karen forward, as Karen was more adept at speaking.

Karen is, after all, the lead singer of the highest-ranked band in the live music scene, so her persuasiveness is only stronger.

"The arrangement of this song is a bit simpler, but that's okay, the vocals of the two lead singers make up for the shortcomings of the arrangement."

One more thing, in the second verse, Mr. Mask's outburst surprised me. I was looking forward to your follow-up outburst, but it didn't happen!

It was so long afterwards, I thought there would be a chorus or something, which is a bit of a shame.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion, or what I hope to hear, and it doesn't mean that this kind of composition is bad.

The lyrics are alright; at least they're memorable.

Overall, this song doesn't sound like something a rising star band would write; it's more like an explosion from a band that has been working together for a long time.

Overall, it's pretty good. If I had to give it a score out of 10, I'd give it 8.5!

After Karen explained it, everyone realized what had happened:

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a rising star band at all. What rising star band could write music like this?

[Karen actually gave it an 8.5! I remember on a rock music show, Karen usually gave scores of 6.5 or 7, rarely anything above 8, let alone 8.5.]

[Don't you even look at this? Can those bands' songs compare to this one?]

[There's really no comparison. This piece has a deeper meaning, rather than just showing off skills and posing...]

Karen's score of 8.5 surprised everyone, but it was quickly forgotten because they felt the song deserved that score.

“Oh, right, there’s one more thing I wanted to say!” Karen sat down, but quickly stood up again.

Everyone quieted down to see what else Karen wanted to say.

"Sen is like an older brother to me. His comeback surprised all of us."

To be honest, I came here today specifically for him.

That guitar solo was still as brilliant as ever.

I can tell that Brother Sen is having a lot of fun.

In his creation, Mr. Mask gave you the opportunity to showcase your talents, which is similar to Qingchuan back then.

I understand why you're making a comeback now. Congratulations, Brother Sen, on finding another great partner.

I also hope your songs will get better and better!

The music scene today is a mixed bag, or rather, excellent original works are becoming increasingly rare.

Having such a good band can at least make up for a lot of things.

Lin Sen picked up the microphone and said briefly, "The following songs will only get better and won't disappoint you!"

The first song already received such high praise, what will the next two songs be like?

Everyone's expectations have been raised once again!

After the lead singers finished their evaluations, Tian Xin held up five fingers to Lu Jiuning, meaning that the live stream had gained 5,000 viewers because of the two lead singers' comments.

For a total population of over 200,000, 5,000 is not a lot, but even a small mosquito is still meat!

At this point, what the Masked Band lacked was fame and popularity.

"Thank you for your feedback, teachers. Now, let's move on to our second song!" After saying that, Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning stepped back, clearing the stage for them.

Everyone looked puzzled until Lu Jiuyuan stepped to the front of the stage, at which point they realized what was happening.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Xiao Jiu is also one of the lead singers!

Lu Jiuyuan's fans got excited. It's been two years, and this guy is finally going to release a song!

Song: "Suddenly Missing You"

Singer: Lu Jiuyuan

Performed by: Masked Band

Lyrics and music by: Mr. Mask

(This song, actually performed by Mayday, was written and composed by Chen Hsin-hung!)

This song is one of Mayday's successful works, and it won the 2009 Golden Melody Award and the Best Composer Award in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

When it was first released, it became a hit in half of the music scene. Even more than a decade later, the song still has a large audience and is one of the must-sing songs in KTV.

Calling it a phenomenon is no exaggeration.

As the stage lights went out, the customers sat up straight, knowing that the next song was about to begin.

When the lights came on again, a piano appeared on the stage, and Bei Chen was sitting in front of it.

Then his slender fingers began to dance across the piano keys.

It turns out that the accompaniment to this piece incorporates piano elements.

With Bei Chen's top-notch piano skills, playing this song is incredibly easy.

In addition to piano music, the prelude also includes string chords.

Given the bar's current setup, it's not big enough to accommodate a string section, so Lin Zhixia has to record it in advance and play it when needed.

The gentle piano melody, accompanied by strings, takes on a deeper meaning of emotion and longing, thus setting the main tone of the song.

At the 19-second mark, Lu Jiuyuan's singing voice began to appear:

"What I fear most is a sudden silence."

"What I fear most is a friend's sudden concern."

"What I fear most is the memory; it suddenly churns and twists, causing unbearable pain."

"..."

Lu Jiuyuan's voice is not as deep as Bei Chen's; it is brighter.

As for singing skills, they are not as good as Bei Chen and Lu Jiuning, and they are not perfect. They can only be said to have a solid foundation and can hold their own.

But he has a unique characteristic that others don't have...
