Chapter 330 Love is Simple
"'Love is Simple'? Is it a love song?"
“If you use the word ‘love’ as a title, you must be prepared to write a world-class love song!”
"Come on Fengqi Wutong, let's have an audio-visual feast!"
Feeling the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge smiled at each other, stood up and walked onto the stage confidently and calmly.
Before leaving, Lin Zhixing looked back at Hua Futing behind him.
There was a brief eye contact, and the gazes were so intense that it seemed as if a fierce spark had erupted.
Hua Futing met his gaze straightly, and felt that it was a bottomless abyss, making him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
The slightly upward corners of his mouth seemed to be saying goodbye.
And Lin Zhixing caught a glimpse of strong hatred in Hua Futing's eyes.
It was clearly he who did the bad thing first, and he acted as if he had done something very wrong to him.
"Will it be an R&B song?"
Tao Ji, who had just finished singing, looked at the two people on the stage and was looking forward to their performance tonight. He hoped that it would be in the R&B style so that they could achieve musical exchange.
The stage lights suddenly dimmed.
The staff pushed a white piano to the center of the stage. When the lights came on again, Lin Zhixing was already sitting upright in front of the piano, and Song Ge, wearing a white dress, stood beside him holding a microphone.
"Wow, are you going to play and sing by yourself today?"
The audience looked at Lin Zhixing, who was handsome and artistic, and were full of anticipation for their performance tonight.
【bite!】
[The difficult difficulty of the system task is enabled. Get an "A rating" from four judges. Completion rewards include a random song from Earth and a song selection card! ]
The system prompt sound suddenly sounded.
Hard difficulty?
Lin Zhixing was not disturbed by the situation. Under the expectant gaze of the audience, the melody sounded from his fingertips. The steady 4/4 beat progressed slowly and was very simple and unpretentious.
“I forgot how it started”
“Maybe I just have a feeling for you.”
"Suddenly I found myself deeply in love with you"
“It’s really simple”
Compared to the previous issue's "Dong Feng Po" with very gorgeous lyrics, music and arrangement, this issue seems to have returned to basics, simplifying things, and apart from the piano, there is only a melancholy cello ensemble.
Lin Zhixing is extremely emotionally devoted and full of flesh and blood, and in a trance he is like a gramophone carrying a hint of nostalgia for forgotten love.
Judges' seat.
“Wow!”
Li Zonghua looked at the lyrics paper of "Love is Simple" in his hand and listened to Lin Zhixing's singing. He was very surprised by his work tonight.
The music and arrangement seem like old techniques from many years ago.
The song now sounds like a naked woman, expressing it too clearly.
Li Zonghua actually prefers this old way of expression.
The melody is simple and clear, the lyrics are straightforward and sincere without being greasy, and the arrangement is not too full, drawing the audience's attention to the vocals. A simple piano introduces the slow narrative, and then moves the audience with sincere emotions.
Simplicity leaves room for imagination, but filling it up too much will have a negative effect. After all, melody is meant to express emotions.
But if you listen carefully, you will find that this song attaches great importance to the fluency of the song, which is so smooth that most people cannot even notice its brilliance.
Although the lyrics are simple, ordinary, and even a bit corny, they touch people's hearts. If you listen carefully, you can find that he used the simplest words to express meanings that are not superficial.
The lyrics and music are so natural. While setting off the emotions, they make the listeners feel no pressure at all. It is like a gentle teacher, guiding and guiding, and the experience is excellent.
“Although this song is called Love is Simple, it is not simple at all!”
Li Zonghua looked at Lin Zhixing, who was singing passionately in the center of the stage, with great admiration, and placed the scoreboard with "A rating" on the table at the top.
…
Center stage, under the spotlight.
Lin Zhixing, who played and sang by himself, was getting better and better in his performance.
"Love till the earth is dark and the sky is dark, it doesn't matter"
“It’s hard to decide what is right and what is wrong”
"No regrets for following love day and night"
“That crazy person is me”
"oh"
Player seats.
Tao Ji's eyes gradually turned red as he was savoring Lin Zhixing's new R&B song.
Lin Zhixing's interpretation of this song completely exceeded his expectations.
It is not easy to sing out the deep affection and determination for "love", he also sang a little grievance and coquettishness, the emotions are very three-dimensional, how affectionate a man can write such a song! Listening to it, Tao Ji realized belatedly that his eyes were wet.
He hadn't been moved to tears by a love song in a long time.
What moved him about this song was completely different from ordinary love songs, which are often touching because of the resonance of the lyrics or the poignant beauty of the melody.
But for this song, Tao Ji was completely moved to tears from a third-party perspective. He felt how this singer could be so affectionate...
He looked at Lin Zhixing singing passionately in the center of the stage, and an adjective suddenly popped up in his mind.
——The most affectionate in Chinese music!
…
The mood at the scene continued to rise, and the song reached the chorus. Song Ge raised the microphone to sing the backing vocals for Lin Zhixing.
"I LOVE YOU"
"I can't help loving you baby"
"Say you love me too oh"
"I LOVE YOU"
"Never want a baby"
"Losing You"
The part with strong R&B characteristics finally arrived, and Tao Ji was once again very surprised.
There is a popular saying on the Internet: Not allowing Tao Ji to sing with inflections is as uncomfortable as not allowing northerners to pronounce erhua sounds.
As a professional who likes to play vibrato, Tao Ji thinks that Feng Qi Wu Tong's vibrato can make a comeback on the stage of this music Spring Festival Gala...
No wonder he dared to agree to compete in R&B with his sister Tao Ranran. Now it seems that they really have the ability!
The audience was moved by the song and it received rave reviews.
"It's nice, the lyrics are simple, but it makes me want to hold back my tears and listen to it to the end."
"Wow, how come he has so much energy and his emotions are so strong that they are overflowing!"
"Oh yeah brother is the most sincere, determined, and affectionate man in the world!"
Inside the studio.
"Director Jia, this is unbelievable. Feng Qi Wu Tong's popularity is rising so fast by singing lyrical songs!"
Director Jia Wen, who was deeply immersed in the song, ignored the staff reporting new data every few seconds. After watching five episodes, this has become their routine operation.
If this Spring Festival Music Gala had a Popularity Award, they would definitely be the ones raising the toast.
…
Gorgeous center stage.
"Love till the earth is dark and the sky is dark, it doesn't matter"
“It’s hard to decide what is right and what is wrong”
"No regrets for following love day and night"
“That crazy person is me”
"Oh I LOVE YOU"
Whenever Lin Zhixing sang the simple song "I LOVE YOU", his transitions, which were smoother than Dove's, coupled with Song Ge's harmony, made the audience seem to see light in him.
Following his piano and singing, love seems to have become really simple!
Auditorium.
Xiaowei, immersed in the song, burst into tears and couldn't help muttering.
"No contact because of your indifference"
“I don’t take the initiative because I’m afraid of disturbing you”
"I have ten thousand reasons to want to see you, but I lack the identity to see you!"
My friends couldn't stand it anymore and suggested, "Brother, be an agent, it will be less awkward when you contact her!"
Xiao Wei said: "I am working as a security guard in her community now!"
…
…
"Never give up baby"
"This is your right to love"
Finally, with a turn like the bends in a mountain road, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge performed brilliantly. The audience, moved by the song, gave generous applause and praise, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
“It’s very enjoyable. Although there are no fancy words or awesome rhymes, and the words seem ordinary, they are very profound and touching when put together!”
"That sounds great, you guys are awesome!"
"call……"
Hua Futing, who was sitting in the audience, let out a long sigh after listening to the whole song, and his drooped back gradually straightened up.
In his opinion, Feng Qi Wu Tong's song "Love is Simple" in this issue was not as difficult to deal with as "Dong Feng Po" in the previous issue, and he smiled as if relieved.
However, he did not dare to take it lightly and still had to fight at his strongest.
"good!"
The host Wang Bing walked back to the center of the stage with a smile and said, "Thank you Feng Qi Wu Tong for your wonderful performance. Now, please invite the five judges to comment on their performance tonight!"
The camera turns.
Li Zonghua was the first to raise the "A rating" scoreboard and said: "After listening to two R&B style songs in a row, I want to talk about the difference between Tao Ji and Feng Qi Wu Tong."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. The audience could only listen to their personal preferences and wanted to hear what the professional judges thought of the two of them.
Hearing the warm applause, Li Zonghua smiled and explained.
"Tao Ji's songs tonight are like a magician in the restaurant. His performance is very novel and fun, attracting your attention and making you forget to eat. He enjoys watching them. Sometimes he is gorgeous, and sometimes he returns to pure feelings. He likes to play with rhythm and melody, and is both restrained and unrestrained. If you find resonance, the more you listen, the more you enjoy it. His songs are more likely to be liked by young people with literary tastes."
"And the song of Fengqi Wutong tonight is like a hungry person who has a hard time finding a restaurant. He finally finds the restaurant and likes it more and more. He feels surprised and happy. He excavates the most simple and popular joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, writes songs based on his own emotional experience, and expresses it in a Westernized way. It is most touching to people with certain experience and sensibility!"
After listening to Li Zonghua's comments, the audience applauded again. He not only used professional terms, but also easy-to-understand examples, which were concise and clear.
The first judge who commented spoke so carefully that the remaining four judges just made a few simple comments and gave their scores.
Wu Boqiang thought that the arrangement and composition of this song were a bit old-fashioned and too retro, and gave it a "B rating".
The remaining three judges Luo Desheng, Zhang Wuying and Zhang A-mei all gave an "A rating".
Luo Desheng didn't want to give this rating, but he had no choice.
In the last episode, in order to help his apprentice, he had already encountered a wave of online violence from Fengqi Wutong fans. If he gave them a "B rating" again in this episode, his reputation would really be in jeopardy.
Fortunately, Wu Boqiang gave them a B rating, so his apprentice still has a chance to win.
"Okay, thank you Feng Qi Wu Tong for your wonderful performance. Who will be the next singer to perform? Please look at the big screen!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the atmosphere became tense. The singers were reluctant to perform after Feng Qi Wu Tong, fearing that the performance would be a dull occasion.
Player seats.
Hua Futing, who was sitting in the second row, looked at Feng Qi Wutong walking towards his seat and his nose was crooked with anger.
It looks like the challenge we promised in the last issue has been postponed again!
After Feng Qi Wu Tong sat down, Hua Futing couldn't help but ask, "Lin Zhixing, didn't you say last time that you would challenge me this time?"
"Um?"
Lin Zhixing turned around and looked at Hua Futing who was angry and annoyed, and forced the corners of his mouth to turn up, and explained: "I'm not very satisfied with my performance this time, so forget it..."
"you!"
Hua Futing looked at his teasing gaze and trembled with anger.
Similarly, Luo Desheng, who was sitting on the judges' panel, was also bewildered, and looked back at the contestants' panel with a puzzled look on his face.
Didn't the disciple say that Feng Qi Wu Tong would challenge him in this episode? Why didn't the challenge happen? What was going on?
…
【bite!】
[The difficult level has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "My Deskmate" and a song selection card! ]
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.
“It’s so retro!”
Lin Zhixing, who had just sat down, couldn't help but sigh.
The song "You, My Deskmate" by singer Lao Lang is undoubtedly the most outstanding campus folk song in the 1990s. Many people say that no matter when they listen to this song, they can recall the throbbing of their youth at the age of fifteen or sixteen, that kind of serious and clumsy love.
This song is also the earliest "folk type" song that Lin Zhixing has ever heard.
If I were to perform this song "You, My Deskmate", I would have no rivals in the folk song competition on this stage.
…
"Good for you! Good for you, Lin Zhixing!"
Hua Futing was not stupid. He was caught off guard by Lin Zhixing's trick the first time, and the same trick didn't work the second time.
He vaguely guessed that Lin Zhixing had played tricks on him twice, which might be related to the previous message.
In order to increase the chances of winning, I deliberately gave them wrong information.
That is why they play tricks on themselves, take revenge on themselves, and deliberately waste their own high-quality works time and time again.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
Hua Futing knocked his forehead, feeling very depressed and like a stupid donkey.
"I won't be fooled by you again!"
The contestant information on the stage screen gradually stopped scrolling and finally froze.
[Summer Blown by the Wind]
【Singing: Leaping Miracle】
【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】
【Composition: Lin Zhixing】
【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen the song title. It looks like this is a new song that Oh Ye Bro wrote for them!"
"This is the first time that Feiyue Miracle will sing the new song written by Oh Ye Ge on this stage. I am really looking forward to it!"
The three words "Lin Zhixing" are the best proof of the quality of the song. Before Dong Chen and Ji Yu appeared on stage, the audience became excited after seeing the song information and gave warm applause.
The host Wang Bing stared at the screen and announced, "Okay, next we have the Feiyue Miracle Band to perform the song "Summer Blown by the Wind". Please welcome them with applause!"
