Xu Peng was slightly out of breath. He hadn't warmed up beforehand, so this section of Luohan Fist was a good opportunity to loosen up his muscles and bones. He was still a little embarrassed by the praise from the teachers.
"Dear teachers, this is all because I have persisted for more than ten years. It's like eating and drinking; it's something ingrained in my bones. To be honest, I haven't played that well. I'm a bit slow-witted."
Fang Yang handed over a few sheets of paper. "Wipe your sweat first. As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way. Innate conditions are very important, but hard work is also essential. Judging from your current performance, you've already done very well."
Chen He patted Xu Peng on the shoulder, "Silly boy, things are different now than in ancient times. Martial arts are just for strengthening the body. Do you really want to be like the heroes of ancient times, leaping across rooftops and roaming the world with your sword? You're already doing very well as you are now. As for talent, is it really just about talent? Times have changed, and there are still significant differences."
Xu Peng scratched his head, unsure what to say. Huang Guang found it amusing but didn't tease Xu Peng further. It was getting late, and it was time to give the young man a chance. Xu Peng had already received enough screen time that day, and they couldn't let Mu Yu down. "Little Yu'er, it's getting late. Why don't you sing a song? It would be the perfect finale for this episode of our variety show, and it would be a treat for our viewers in the live stream!"
"Okay, Teacher Huang!"
Mu Yu readily agreed, and found the instrumental version of the song "Don't Be Afraid" that Fang Yang wrote for her when she debuted on her phone. Without a microphone or recording device, she sang along to the rhythm:
MAI--A-HEE MAI-A-HU9
MAI-A-HO MAI-A-HA-HAMAI-A-HEE MAI-A-HU
······
The lyrics, which originated from her mother's childhood admonitions, are a nonsensical tale of a young girl facing difficulties with courage and confidence. Although older people may find the lyrics incomprehensible, they are extremely popular among young girls. This allowed Mu Yu to gain a large following among young girls as soon as she debuted. Moreover, the song perfectly matches Mu Yu's girl-next-door image, and its popularity has left the entire music industry baffled!
In the music department of Yuewen Entertainment Media, there aren't many artists yet, and Zheng Xiuli is in charge, so the music department isn't under much pressure, and there's not much competition among the artists. Therefore, Mu Yu still retains that childlike innocence, which is quite fitting for this song.
This was Fang Yang's first time hearing Mu Yu sing live. The reason he gave Mu Yu the song "Don't Be Afraid" was to test her vocal timbre and see if she could develop a sweet song style. However, he was busy filming and the company also had its own composition department, so Fang Yang naturally didn't have time to pay attention to the performance of the singers he signed later.
For most ordinary people, a lifetime of hard work is sometimes not as valuable as a single moment of brilliance in front of the boss, especially in large companies. You might work for decades without ever having the chance to impress the boss, let alone make them remember you.
Knowing that the opportunity was rare, Mu Yu naturally would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance. She used all her skills and immersed herself in singing. Even without the necessary conditions, she performed at an excellent level in her a cappella singing!
At first, he didn't feel anything, but after listening for two minutes, Zhang Ze felt goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't help but rub his arms vigorously. "Oh my god, it's too salty. I'm too old. I'm afraid I'll get diabetes!"
Zhang Ze's words drew eye rolls from the others. It wasn't until Mu Yu finished singing that Huang Guang clapped his hands and said, "Although it's not easy for people our age to accept such sweet songs, existence is its own justification. As long as there is a market, it is a bright path. Moreover, Xiao Yu'er's voice is very suitable for this path. President Fang has a sharp eye and has thought out Xiao Yu'er's future path long ago."
"To be honest, this is the first time I've heard Xiaoyu sing live!" Fang Yang waved his hand. "Although every singer dreams of having a versatile voice, a distinctive voice can help someone debut quickly. Xiaoyu has such qualities, so we can't let her talent go to waste. Listening to Xiaoyu sing live today, I feel that she was truly born for this. Her singing skills have also improved a lot. Singing a cappella really shows her superb singing skills!"
"Then Mr. Fang, you must give our little Yu'er a lot of guidance. It's so rare to find such a well-behaved and adorable girl these days!" Although they had only spent a few days together, Chen He was already very fond of Mu Yu, this well-behaved and adorable little girl. Having seen so many delicate and pretentious actresses on set, Mu Yu's qualities were especially rare.
"From birth to old age, a girl is a precious flower in her mother's eyes, and she needs to be carefully protected at all times. So, the admonitions are not limited by age. They accompany a girl throughout her life and are passed down from generation to generation! Your singing skills are already up to par, but in terms of emotion, there is still a bit of a lack. This is not a problem with your level, but just a difference in life experience. Of course, from the perspective of a daughter, it is also fine."
Seeing that Mu Yu was listening attentively, Fang Yang gave her some pointers: "You should practice your singing techniques more often. I just want to remind you that every song has its own story. Everyone may have a different understanding of it, but the soul of the song is the same. If you want to sing well, you need to deeply understand the meaning of the song and then infuse it with your own emotions. Only in this way can the audience resonate with the song and touch the soft spot in their hearts. Otherwise, even the best song will become just a pop song."
Mu Yu pondered, "No wonder I always felt a sense of loss after I finished singing. It seems the reason lies here?"
“Every song that becomes a classic must have its own soul. Songs and singers complement each other. A good song can make a singer, and it can also make many singers. Singers may be buried, but songs will never be. Perhaps a pearl will be hidden for ten or twenty years, and then be discovered by someone unintentionally and shine brightly. So I hope you will treat every song that is put in your hands with care and not let it be buried!”
There are countless examples of songs whose original singers were unknown before being covered and became wildly popular across the country. The most famous ones include "A Diao", "How Much Love Can Be Relived", "Legend", "Love You", "In the Spring", "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Come Home Often", "I Will Love You Even If I Die", etc. Each of these songs was unknown when it was first covered, but became incredibly popular afterward. It has to be said that pearls were hidden in the dust, and gold will always shine in its time!
