The song Lin Rui took out was "Those Flowers," which he had won in a previous raffle.
Also from that parallel dimension called Earth, this song has two versions there, and the one Lin Rui brought out was a rearranged acoustic guitar version.
This version not only enhances the guitar accompaniment but also strengthens the folk elements in the song.
Uncle Qiao, who is skilled at creating folk songs, felt this song more deeply than others, which is why he was so moved that he called it art!
Li Mubai's singing skills are better than Han Jiayu's; it's a clear case of who is better.
However, judging a singer solely on their singing ability is not rigorous enough. While singing ability is an important criterion for evaluating a singer, it is not the only factor.
Because, there is a saying that a song and a singer can be well-matched.
Therefore, there is a saying that often circulates in the industry: people choose songs, and songs also choose people.
Driven by a gentle melody, Li Mubai's audition gradually came to an end.
However, the atmosphere at the scene was subtle, with everyone looking preoccupied.
"Didn't Mu Bai sing well? I think he sang very well."
Seeing these big names in the composition department remain silent, even the seasoned Luo Qi lost his previous confidence.
If she was in such a state, Li Mubai, as the person involved, was even more on edge.
"What do you think?" Zhong Hanli still frowned, looking at Uncle Qiao beside him.
“We should be thinking the same thing,” Uncle Qiao nodded.
"It doesn't make sense. The same melody and the same lyrics, why do they sound different?"
Zhong Hanli looked at Han Jiayu, then at Li Mubai, his surprise and doubt deepening.
"Perhaps Lin Rui can tell us about this," Uncle Qiao suddenly smiled.
…
Lin Rui cleared his throat and looked at the nervous Han Jiayu and Li Mubai.
"I already have someone in mind, and before announcing the result, I'd like to share my thoughts with you."
Lin Rui first looked at Li Mubai: "In terms of pitch and rhythm control, you two are evenly matched. However, Han Jiayu is slightly inferior in terms of timbre."
Uncle Qiao, Zhong Hanli, and the others nodded secretly, clearly agreeing with Lin Rui's assessment.
"As for the aura, it's not that Han Jiayu did a bad job, but Li Mubai's was more sustained. He has a natural advantage in this aspect."
"Of course, all of the above points can be improved through practice, but the width of your vocal range will directly affect your future potential."
“An excellent singer often has one thing in common: a wide vocal range that allows them to adapt to songs of different styles.”
“Vocal range is a crucial dividing line between professional and amateur singers. You have an advantage in vocal range to become professional singers, and I hope you can continue to develop it.”
Both Li Mubai and Han Jiayu appeared to be humbly accepting instruction.
Although Lin Rui was younger than them, they dared not underestimate him in the slightest, nor did they feel any resistance. On the contrary, they were secretly delighted.
"All of the above is digression. What I really want to talk to you about is the most important emotion in music."
Lin Rui looked at Li Mubai: "Your singing skills are better than Han Jiayu's, I never deny that. You must be wondering why, since you are so excellent, I didn't let you sing 'Those Years'?"
Li Mubai nodded instinctively; this was indeed a knot in his heart that he couldn't get over.
"It's very simple, it's about feelings."
Lin Rui asked casually, "You've probably never been in a relationship, right?"
"ah?"
Not to mention Li Mubai, everyone in the room was taken aback by Lin Rui's sudden question.
"No...no...no..."
Surrounded by so many people, as if they were watching a national treasure panda, Li Mubai's face flushed red.
"So, I finally chose Han Jiayu."
What kind of reason is that?
Just because you've never had a girlfriend?
Li Mubai was stunned, Luo Qi was stunned, and even Han Jiayu was stunned.
He never expected that he would be able to win the hit song "Those Years" not because of his talent, but because of his first love who had broken up with him.
At this moment, Han Jiayu felt uneasy and somewhat innocent, as if she was silently complaining: The clown is actually myself.
"Just because I've never been in a relationship?"
Li Mubai pointed at himself, looking aggrieved. "How can you blame me for this?"
There are plenty of single people in the world, and there are many ways to humiliate someone. Why are you so outstanding?
Should I really find a girl and delve deeper into some of life's truths?
This kind of thing seems really troublesome!
Should I get a girlfriend?
Li Mubai was trapped in a vicious cycle, his face turning pale and then flushed.
Pfft!
"That young man is so naughty, he bewitched Li Mubai with just a few words."
"Brother, stop teasing him, he's getting so anxious."
"But I only found out today that Li Mubai is not only a virgin, but also an innocent young man. This is big news! If her female fans find out, do you think they'll break down our company's doorstep?"
"That's possible. Although Li Mubai isn't as handsome as the young man, he's still very popular with girls."
As Chen Duoduo and Lu Ye teased him back and forth, Li Mubai couldn't help but think of his female fans' fiery enthusiasm, and he suddenly shivered.
No dating allowed!
Women are terrifying!
“I wasn’t kidding him, I was telling the truth.”
Lin Rui's honest and unassuming demeanor left everyone present speechless.
"The song 'Those Years' evokes in listeners the emotions of regret and nostalgia for first love."
"If you have no romantic experience, all your performances of this type of song will just be imitation, and the songs you sing will be empty and soulless."
"Therefore, it cannot resonate with the audience, let alone create a vivid image."
"I heard his story in Han Jiayu's singing, so I ultimately chose him."
I see.
At this moment, Li Mubai understood that the reason he was not selected was not due to a lack of ability, but simply because his resume was blank when it came to matters of the heart.
Uncle Qiao lowered his voice and spoke to Zhong Hanli: "I think I understand the problem that has been troubling us before."
Zhong Hanli nodded: "Unbelievable. I've been making music all my life, and I still can't see things as clearly as a young person."
Lin Rui looked at Han Jiayu.
"Your story has given you a great advantage in love songs, but it has also become a stumbling block for you."
"During your audition just now, I only heard your heartfelt words: the girl who keeps you up at night, and your first love that you can't let go of."
Han Jiayu's face turned pale, and Lin Rui smiled and comforted her: "Of course, it's good to sing out your feelings. It would be the best choice in any other situation."
"But this is an officially commissioned mission. If we just interpret it based on personal feelings, it will fall short of the intended meaning."
Han Jiayu was introverted, but not stupid. He knew he had lost the election. Although he was disappointed, he felt even more grateful to Lin Rui.
"Thank you, Teacher Fusheng. I will definitely overcome my shortcomings."
Han Jiayu's words came from the bottom of his heart. If Lin Rui hadn't pointed out his shortcomings, his entire singing career would probably have been stuck in a dead end.
With a sigh, it seems it's time to say goodbye to my past.
From now on, he will not be the person he was yesterday, but the person he will be tomorrow, a better version of himself!
Lin Rui didn't look at Li Mubai, but instead looked at Uncle Qiao and Zhong Hanli.
"Uncle Qiao, Uncle Zhong, what did you hear in Li Mubai's singing?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Rui would pass the buck to him. After thinking for a while, Uncle Qiao smiled and said, "It's the reluctance of leaving the ivory tower and going our separate ways."
Zhong Hanli pondered for a long time before finally saying, "It's about reminiscing about youth and the innocence that can never be returned to."
Uncle Qiao and Wallace Chung exchanged a glance and nodded slightly to Lin Rui.
In fact, everyone present already knew the answer in their hearts.
Clothes!
I'm completely convinced!
I'm convinced!
Seeing Li Mubai looking somewhat bewildered and apprehensive, Lin Rui smiled and extended his hand: "Congratulations. From now on, I'll have to work overtime to record the song as soon as possible."
