Chapter 3 Let's have some real sound shock
So... so confident.
I don’t know whether this confidence is real or fake.
Zhou Hebin crossed his legs with interest, feeling a little bit of anticipation but also a little bit of hidden worry.
He was afraid that the little boy would not be able to hold back and make a fool of himself, thus wasting the advantage of his face.
But if this is true, the gimmick of this episode is enough.
No matter what, they win.
While thousands of thoughts were running through Zhou Hebin's mind, he continued to cue the program process.
"Are you ready then?"
Shu Ming smiled a little shyly, without saying anything, but showing a small canine tooth.
Then he quickly took off the microphone from his collar and handed the microphone in his hand to the staff on the scene.
As soon as this move was made, the backstage, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and cried out in surprise.
No way——
An amateur with no talent, not only sang a cappella, but also took off the microphone.
Who do you think you are? A singer? Do you rely solely on the echo in the studio to capture your voice?
How to sing without a microphone?
Even Zhou Hebin's legs, which had just been crossed, were unconsciously lowered.
There was even more commotion among the other contestants who were watching.
"Seeking attention." One contestant snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice, secretly showing disdain.
Someone sighed deeply, feeling embarrassed for Shu Ming in advance.
But more people still——
"How can we sing without a microphone?" Someone, mixed in the crowd, murmured, expressing everyone's thoughts.
They were also confused. There was no song title and no microphone. What did this person want to sing?
Shu Ming took care of all the microphones on his body and finally nodded to the judges.
He nodded very solemnly, as if he was not standing on the stage, but in front of his beloved girl.
And he is just an ordinary young boy in the mountains, who wants to express his love through singing.
The lights came on belatedly and suddenly dimmed—
In the darkness, Shu Ming pressed his finger bones and felt the thick, familiar calluses on his hands.
Slowly calm down.
Closing his eyes, he thought of the wheat fields at home. When he was a child, he and his brother watched the sunset on the hillside behind the house, with the dark green mountains opposite.
In the twilight, the outline of the mountain is deeper than the sky, like a silhouette of the sunset reflected in the sky.
When they were tired of playing, they lay down on the soft grass on the hillside and shouted to the valley until the moon peeked out from behind the clouds. The eldest brother carried him on his back and walked on the moonlit path home.
"The moon is coming out—"
Shu Ming knew from a young age that when shouting at the mountain, one had to use cleverness.
Only by using your heart, feelings and ingenuity can you get the echo of the mountains.
"Shining on the hillside—"
The moment a simple and clear young voice sounded in the ears, it was like the spring thunder, giving every listener a heavy blow to the heart.
Then, it was as if the mountain really responded to the youngest son who had left home.
Every wall, every object, every corner of the studio did its best to echo him, as if he were actually standing in front of the valley of his hometown.
It turned out to be a folk song of an ethnic minority!
The contestants have met each other, and many have speculated that Shu Ming is wearing such simple clothes, most likely to revisit his campus image.
And Shu Ming really does look like the kind of boy that many people would have a crush on in high school.
He looks into your eyes seriously when he speaks, and his smile is very contagious. He is the type of person who makes you smile unconsciously when he smiles.
He was the boy who would wear a white shirt and ride a bicycle at school, and he was the person that girls would secretly glance at through the classroom window. What's more... Shu Ming was indeed 18 years old and in the prime of his youth!
This irreplaceable feeling of youth made many older contestants secretly grit their teeth.
But no one thought he would do this!
This guy actually came up with a trump card and used his superior natural conditions to slap everyone in the face to demonstrate!
Are you crazy? Are you going to live tomorrow?
No wonder... No wonder...
One contestant suddenly stood up backstage as if he had suddenly realized something, then sat down again in disappointment.
No wonder he wanted to pick the wheat. Even if he did, they would still feel their eardrums vibrating violently at this level.
If the microphone is placed so close, it will explode!
What’s more important is that this person, when singing folk songs, doesn’t use the normal male’s down-key version.
He used the most simple version of the folk song, and everyone could hear that he had no vocal skills at all and was just forcing it with his voice!
Zhou Hebin was shocked. This boy is not only good-looking, but also a good singer!
Also, it started out so high, is it going to continue to be a hard top later on?!
There were also contestants backstage who were praying silently in their hearts, praying that this amateur would break his voice, otherwise the subsequent situation would be very troublesome.
Shu Ming chose to tell them with practical actions:
Yes, he really can’t sing, there’s nothing he can do, he just has to do it!
The original conditions are so good, just play (bushi)
In fact, Shu Ming had never thought that someone would not be able to sing at this level. After all, everyone in his family, from his eldest brother to his aunt, and then to himself, were good at singing folk songs.
My aunt can sing higher than him, so he has really lowered his voice.
What's more, he sang the Chinese version. He had not sung the Ningyu version yet. He was more proficient in that version and could sing higher.
"I think of my brother who is in the mountains."
Shu Ming sometimes wants to ask, why hasn’t my brother come home for so many years?
"Brother is like the moon, walking in the sky, walking in the sky——"
Without any fancy adaptation, it tells what the songs in the mountains are like.
Shu Ming copied it exactly as it was on the stage.
No microphone, full real voice, hard singing.
Each word taken individually is enough to be a killer, but at this moment, they are combined together!
How do you play this! Who would just come up and flip the table?!
Even though Shu Ming has a hoarse voice, and even though there are many stiffnesses and flaws in his voice processing.
But the lingering sound after the song and the touching emotions cannot be faked.
After Shu Ming sang the last line, he lowered his long eyelashes.
A tear fell silently on his face naturally.
Under the light, it reflected a flash of light for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a "pop".
It seemed as if it was not hitting the ground, but hitting everyone's heart.
No one can remain indifferent in the face of this tear.
Even if one has a heart of stone, one would feel heartbroken at this scene.
Talent, watchability, emotion... are cleverly blended together.
But the person who caused the huge storm had no idea about it and even thought that he was just singing an ordinary song!
And this natural feeling will surely attract the audience to become black carp?!
Oh no, this kid is going to explode.
This was everyone’s first reaction.
What followed was the instructor’s applause and unanimous praise.
Zhou Hebin took the lead and gave Shu Ming an A.
The other instructors also gave Shu Ming positive feedback, with scores of either A+ or A-.
After all, Shu Ming really deserves the title, and getting an A is not a problem for him with this talent.
Just when the contestants thought Shu Ming was going to jump into Class A without any suspense, the dance instructor, the popular young actor He Ziqi, suddenly interrupted the process midway.
He adjusted the microphone in front of him and leaned in to ask, "I'd like to know more, Shu Ming."
"We all know that if you want to debut as a group, you must have excellent conditions in all aspects."
"You've only shown off your vocal abilities, but what about your dancing skills?"
Shu Ming was silent for a second, then stood obediently in the center of the stage, took back the microphone with great sincerity, and answered him: "I'm sorry, teacher, I really can't dance."
"But I can wield a big sword." Shu Ming raised his eyes, his droopy eyes looked quite innocent. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, like a straightforward puppy anxiously waiting for instructions.
"Or I can do somersaults with my bare hands...I can do two somersaults, okay?"
The author has something to say:
----------------------
The lyrics of this article are adapted from "Little River Flowing Water".
Let me reiterate that the place names are fictional. Although Xiaohetangshui belongs to our beautiful Yunnan, Shu Ming’s hometown in the article has nothing to do with Yunnan.
It's purely because the author is stupid that he likes this song and uses it to make a cameo appearance in the article.
Also, singing without a microphone is actually very common.
Some beautiful canto songs don't require a microphone, and the author has seen some original vocal methods, and the sound can be heard across the mountains. The singing can be heard from far away...
What's more, Xiao Shu is in a professional studio, and the building itself has a built-in sound-receiving effect.
Thank you all readers.
