Chapter 150 Playing Pigs and Eating Tigers "Under the Flying Clouds"
On the day of recording the third episode (Part 2) of "I Am the King of Singers", it was 2:00 p.m.
In the hotel room.
"Ahem, what are you laughing at?"
Yu Jiang had a severe cough so he went to the hospital. When he returned to the hotel, he saw Zhao Weiwei holding a mobile phone and smiling. He walked over to see that she was watching Lin Zhixing's "My Territory" competition video.
"Nothing, just looking around."
Zhao Weiwei knew her boyfriend didn't like it, so she turned off the video and asked with concern: "What did the doctor say?"
Yu Jiang sighed and said, "It's not serious. He advised me to quit smoking. I said I could quit smoking at other times, but I just couldn't control the urge to smoke after meals. He told me that I could only smoke two cigarettes at most after meals."
Zhao Weiwei nodded and advised: "Then listen to the doctor and quit smoking gradually."
"Um."
Yu Jiangcong took out a cigarette box and lit one.
Zhao Weiwei frowned, "Just agreed, and now he's smoking again."
"I just had dinner."
Yu Jiang took a deep puff and blew out a smoke ring, saying, "I'm afraid I'll have to eat ten meals a day."
Zhao Weiwei: “…”
Yu Jiang pulled up a chair and sat down, pointing to the phone beside the bed. "I watched the video of 'My Territory'. Many music producers on Weibo praised this song. It's very popular."
"oh."
Zhao Weiwei nodded, raised her eyebrows and asked, "So what do you think of the song?"
"It's really good. His creative ability is really amazing."
Yu Jiang flicked the ash from his cigarette, frowned slightly and said, "If his future songs can reach this level, I don't think Pan Shuai can be his rival."
"You were right last time. Their style has changed too much, and our track is too single. If they can keep it up, our loss to them may really be a foregone conclusion."
Zhao Weiwei poured a glass of water for her boyfriend and nodded, "Not only is he amazing, he can even make the company's singers famous by writing songs for them, so let's just keep a normal mind and see where we go."
Yu Jiang put out his cigarette, smiled and said, "Why don't you go back and have a good chat with him and ask him to write a song for us. You've helped him so much, he won't refuse you if you ask for help."
Zhao Weiwei's face immediately changed when she heard this. "I help them because I like them. I don't have any other thoughts."
…
…
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Inside the hotel restaurant.
“I’m so full!”
Dong Chen patted his belly and stretched lazily with contentment.
Ji Yu gave him a glare and said, "Greedy guy, eating so much will affect your singing."
Dong Chen smiled and waved his hand, "There are still three hours left. I've already digested it. Besides, I'm so familiar with "A Glimpse of Love". It's okay."
Because Lin Zhixing didn't release any new songs suitable for them, they could only sing old ones. "Sigh" had been sung on stage before, and "A Glimpse of Beauty" was more suitable.
"Wait for me, I saw someone I know."
Lin Zhixing took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then stood up and walked to the seat two tables away.
Song Ge turned his head and took a look. Sitting at that table were Sun Haoan and a man wearing glasses, who was about fifty years old. He looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
"Teacher Wang, why are you here?"
Lin Zhixing walked up to the man with glasses and shook hands with him. He was none other than "Wang Dongsheng" from the lyrics department of Haisen Records and the second place winner of the Weibo lyrics competition.
We had an exchange at the last Weibo Night, and no matter who won or lost, on the surface everything was okay, so I came here specifically to say hello.
"Brother Sun."
He nodded to Sun Haoan beside him.
"I came here to do some work and meet an old friend."
The person Wang Dongsheng came to see was Huang Xiao. He also planned to participate in the World Cup song selection and wanted to hear his old friend's opinions on the creation.
I work in the same company as Sun Haoan and have written many songs for him. We have a good relationship and I also met him for dinner.
"Sit down, sit down, sit down and chat for a while."
Wang Dongsheng asked Lin Zhixing to sit down and chatted with him with a smile: "You have created a lot of amazing new songs recently."
"You are too kind."
Lin Zhixing smiled and waved his hands, and said, "It's still a long way to go. I like your lyrics very much. With Brother Sun's emotional interpretation, it's really touching to listen to."
Praising two people in one sentence, no matter whether it is true or false, it makes people feel comfortable anyway.
Wang Dongsheng and Sun Haoan looked at each other and both smiled.
【bite!】
【When you meet a strong opponent, you will become stronger! 】
[System mission is enabled with simple difficulty. Use a lyrical song to change the proud two people's attitude. After completing it, you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth.]
"this……"
Lin Zhixing was stunned when he heard the system prompt.
Sun Haoan raised his lips slightly and said, "Singing lyrical songs is indeed my forte, but the reason why I can move the audience is mainly due to Teacher Wang's lyrics."
Wang Dongsheng benefited greatly from the praise from both of them.
He smiled and waved his hand, looking at Lin Zhixing, and asked in a somewhat arrogant tone: "Xiao Lin, I see that you seem to be better at composing rap and love songs, right?"
Hmm? At such an old age, he is still very strong. Is "Under the Sea" bad? Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, "It's like this, I am good at these two categories. I have wanted to try to create other types, such as lyrical, but the songs I wrote are a bit average, or I don't have enough accumulation."
Wang Dongsheng suppressed the upward curve of his lips and said, "It is indeed difficult to write lyrical lyrics, because you have to find resonance with the audience in order to move them. If you have any questions about lyric writing, you can talk to me and we can improve together."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."
…
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Zhixing did not go back to the room with them, but went to find the staff to change the song.
I originally planned to sing "Can't Help Falling in Love" tonight, but considering the current situation, the ballad "Under the Flying Clouds" is more suitable.
…
…
Ten minutes before kick-off.
Singer's waiting room.
After the drawing session, Dong Chen asked curiously, "Brother Lin, how much did you draw?"
Lin Zhixing said: "Second."
Director Hong Bo read the order of performance tonight and handed the note to the host Lin Zhixing.
Lin Zhixing took the note, took a look at it, and immediately frowned.
The first contestant to perform tonight is "Sun Haoan", who also sings a lyrical song. It's a bit stressful to perform after him.
I went on stage to pick up the fragments he dropped, and my singing technique (emotion) was upgraded to level B. I don’t know if my singing ability can be recognized by the audience.
…
Eight o'clock in the evening.
With a gesture from the on-site director, the live broadcast of "I Am the King of Singers" officially began, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room instantly filled the screen.
"First, the sofa!"
"Jiahe husband, you are the best!"
"Oh yeah, come on, use your strength to make this place your territory!"
"From 'I Am The Rap King', come on Fengqi Wutong!"
The amount of barrage and the initial number of online users have increased compared to the previous period, with some new viewers who like "The King of Rap" and "My Territory" added.
…
The stage lights flickered, and amid enthusiastic applause, the host Lin Zhixing walked to the center of the stage and stood under the spotlight.
"Good evening, audience friends!"
After the opening words, Lin Zhixing introduced the show, "Now, please welcome the lyrical prince Sun Haoan to the stage to sing the song "Love is Like Tide" for everyone!"
As soon as Lin Zhixing finished speaking, Sun Haoan's fans in the audience went wild.
"Wow! The masterpiece is here!!!"
"My Haoan is finally going to make it to the top of the rankings at the beginning of the third period? Yay!"
The audience's reaction made Lin Zhixing feel a little stressed.
…
Amidst waves of applause.
Sun Haoan walked to the center of the stage and sang emotionally with his voice that was full of stories. The audience was fascinated and waved their hands in unison, as if they were catching up with the concert.
Below the stage, Wang Dongsheng, who was sitting in the audience, was also very satisfied with the song. He felt very lucky to have the song he wrote sung by such an excellent singer.
In the channel.
"Dove, I'm a little nervous, what should I do?"
Lin Zhixing looked at Sun Haoan's exceptional performance on the screen and whispered to Song Ge beside him.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Song Ge looked at him, who was pursing his lips, and consoled him, "I think I sang this song well. It's good enough if you can answer 60 points."
"What about you?"
Lin Zhixing turned his head and asked.
Song Ge said calmly: "I answered 140."
"6, I'll lie down then."
Liu Liu, the photographer who was in charge of shooting in the passage, opened his eyes wide in surprise after listening to their conversation, "Is this the Pigeon God?"
…
Soon, Sun Haoan finished singing.
The high-quality performance was flawless and the fans gave her thunderous applause.
“Thanks to Sun Haoan for the wonderful performance!”
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge walked onto the stage together. “Now my partner Song Ge and I will bring you a song that will make you miss home, ‘Under the Flying Clouds’!”
The song information appeared on the stage screen.
[Under the Flying Clouds]
[Phoenix perches on the sycamore]
【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】
【Composition: Lin Zhixing】
【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】
"Under the flying clouds?"
Looking at this name, the audience was a little confused.
"A song that makes you miss home?"
It is easier to resonate with love songs, but it is more difficult to resonate with songs that make people miss home. Some black fans plan to listen carefully to the songs, and if they can't do it, they will start to criticize.
"Another new song, great!"
Huang Xiao and Wang Dongsheng were very interested in Lin Zhixing's new song. They were very focused and planned to analyze the song carefully.
Singers waiting room.
Dong Chen listened carefully throughout the whole process, pursed his lips, and said: "He is quite strong. Brother Lin and the others sing the same type of songs, which is a bit difficult to beat!"
Ji Yu patted his hands and said, "Trust them."
Inside the surprise singer's compartment.
The remaining two surprise singers looked at Feng Qi Wu Tong on the stage and did not dare to act rashly. They decided to listen to the song before considering whether to launch a surprise attack.
…
The soothing accompaniment slowly sounded.
On the gorgeous stage, under the spotlight.
Song Ge, who had been lowering his head to build up his emotions, slowly raised the microphone and sang with deep emotion.
“The wind makes the clouds grow flowers that fill the sky”
"Silently blooming under the dark clouds"
“And then where did it go?”
The sound is very nice, and the main melody of the song is like working late into the night, and after get off work walking on the bustling city streets, looking at so many people in such a big city, everyone has their own joys and sorrows, but none of them have anything to do with oneself.
An inexplicable feeling of loneliness came over me.
The audience was quickly attracted, but they could not understand the meaning of just two lines of lyrics.
“How are you doing walking in the sea of people?”
“Do you miss home again?”
"The burning dream in my heart"
"How long has it not spoken?"
If Song Ge's singing is to pull people's emotions, then Lin Zhixing's singing is to let people vent.
Admit it, you're homesick.
I miss my mom and dad who always nag to the point of being annoying, and those home-cooked meals, but now I can only order takeout when I’m alone outside.
On one end is the dream, on the other end is the hometown, but migrant workers are halfway, and it is difficult to have both, so they can only wander back and forth.
During the day, workers are all struggling warriors. Warriors are bound to get injured, and the scars left during the day can only be bandaged alone at night.
How I wish I could get the warmth from my family, but in reality, when I return to my small rental house, I am only accompanied by a cold quilt.
"The home I thought I had forgotten under the flying clouds"
"Tell me not to worry about the pain and fear"
"Oh, I am wearing memories and sand on the way"
"Under the flying clouds I looked at the strait"
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge's voices fit together very well. After he upgraded his singing emotions, although his performance was not as good as Song Ge's, it was enough to move the audience.
"I admit that I still miss him when I walk on the moonlit beach"
"Oh wait, I heard the wind is very strong ahead."
Different from other healing songs that convey straightforward encouragement, this song is closer to a person's inner life. It is very gentle and peaceful, like being caressed on the heart. It is very light but has excellent healing effects and is easier for people to resonate with.
Judges' seat.
Huang Xiao looked at the recorded lyrics and shook his head in surprise.
The melody is very memorable, ethereal and intoxicating, as if you are really singing under the flying clouds. Coupled with the heavenly voices of the two people, it is very attractive.
People will always be exposed to the sharp edge of life at some point, but when listening to this song, you will feel that even at high altitudes, you can be stable, and even under dark clouds, there is no need to panic or be afraid.
"Xiao Lin, you are really good!"
During the interlude, barrages of comments started to appear in the live broadcast room.
"I am moved. There are not many people who can tell stories with their songs. Even fewer people can tell warm stories with their songs. The layering of the song is really great."
"The two voices match very well, and with the blessing of good lyrics, it is so healing."
…
After the interlude ended, Lin Zhixing started singing.
"My heart feels sore and numb when it's rubbed in the clouds"
"But the longing crawls in my dreams"
“Is there anyone worth waiting for in the future?”
The singing is accompanied by the hissing and friction sound of the inner wall of the saxophone brass instrument, which perfectly embodies the feeling of "sour and numb", "lonely and helpless".
“Loneliness is a windbreaker that wraps up fear”
“But I am brave.”
“It doesn’t matter if no one remembers me”
“The future is waiting for me to take it”
On the other side, Wang Dongsheng in the audience was deeply moved by the second verse of the lyrics.
His favorite line was sung by Song Ge, "Loneliness is a windbreaker..."
Just looking at this verse of lyrics, it talks about being strong, but when it is sung, it has a sense of "pretending to be strong", or in other words, it is to cheer oneself up after venting the emotions.
So what if you are afraid? You are wrapped in a windbreaker and no one has seen through you yet. Keep on being brave. If you keep on being brave, you may get the future you want.
Wang Dongsheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You call this not being able to write a lyrical song?"
