Rock!
Without a doubt, this is rock and roll!
Only rock and roll can push a live performance to a frenzy!
Countless fellow rock musicians were filled with shock, but even more so with anticipation!
This prelude alone has already earned them extremely high praise.
Of course, apart from a few people, these peers no longer look at others with prejudice. They only have one thought: that the song should continue to perform well and that it should not disgrace the soul-stirring prelude!
As if sensing the expectant and enthusiastic feelings of these people, Lin Rui's hands instantly grabbed the microphone that was hanging upside down in mid-air.
“Im tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface”
That's really nonsense!
Many of our overseas counterparts breathed a sigh of relief.
They were genuinely worried that if the song were sung in the Chinese language, they would become frustrated because they couldn't understand the lyrics.
But clearly, their worries were completely unnecessary!
However, some of their peers frowned slightly, feeling that this rock song was not quite what they had expected.
However, this is only the beginning, so these people haven't thought much about it yet.
"Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes”
This time, more of my colleagues were frowning.
To be precise, even many rock music enthusiasts were somewhat puzzled.
Aside from the intro, the style of this rock song is completely off; it doesn't feel like traditional rock at all.
To be precise, it's more like a pop song.
Of course, many peers or amateur rock fans don't care. On the contrary, they think the song is performing quite well so far.
As for leaning towards pop music?
Does it matter?!
Is there a conflict between pop music and rock music?
No!
Besides, isn't it good to have more innovation?
We're all rock musicians, why would you expect us to stick to the old ways?
Please!
We rock musicians, who doesn't scoff at sticking to the rules?
At this moment, Zheng Jiayou took a deep breath and began his first rap.
“Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow”
At this moment, even seasoned rock musicians were at a loss for words.
It's one thing to stick to pop music, but they've even gotten into rap?
Although rock music occasionally incorporates rap, the results are generally not very good.
So gradually, rock and roll returned to its original purpose.
No one expected that on such a high-profile stage, the Shenzhou band would be so unconventional.
Not only did it lean towards a pop style, but it also incorporated rap!
Despite their many opinions, even the most vocal critics have to admit that, if they were to rate the song as it stands now, they would be willing to give it at least nine points, provided they don't go against their conscience!
Even though this song leans towards pop and incorporates rap, I never felt any sense of incongruity from beginning to end!
The profound meaning of the lyrics and the lead singer's amazing singing skills made them feel a deep sense of empathy!
“Every step that I take is another mistake to you”
"This lead singer is amazing!"
"I would give him full marks for his emotional expression!"
"Have you noticed? This lead singer's pronunciation is extremely standard. Compared to him, I doubt that I am a native of China."
Whether at the scene or watching the live broadcast, many people's attention was focused on Lin Rui at this moment.
Just as they were discussing this, they were suddenly surprised to find that Lin Rui on the stage had taken off the microphone.
At the same time, his expression became very subtle, giving the impression that he was preparing to completely release all the negative emotions in his heart!
“Ive become so numb I cant feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
Ive become this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you”
Fuck!
At this moment, even those peers who had previously questioned pop style and rap were speechless with shock.
Watching Lin Rui's heart-wrenching screams in the close-up shot, and listening to the melody and lyrics constantly reaching their ears, at this moment, they felt nothing but shock!
Not just the audience!
At this moment, the contestants from various countries were also dumbfounded!
"Fuck! This is world-class music!"
"I simply cannot understand why Shenzhou would use such a work in its opening ceremony!"
"That's right, if this song were used in a rock project, it would definitely be a gold medal."
"I now have serious doubts about what kind of opponents we will face, and what kind of works we will be working on?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the athletes' private rooms from all countries fell into a deathly silence.
Earlier that morning, Shenzhou assigned the song that could have easily secured a place in the symphony category to the opening piece.
Today, they used a rock song that could have dominated the opening ceremony.
How much confidence must one have to dare to be so extravagant?
Seeing their competitors falling into self-doubt, the team leaders from various countries seemed to want to clarify something, but then they realized that something was wrong.
Because they weren't sure how many hidden gems Shenzhou had in its song and lyric library.
Both masterpieces were used in situations that should have appeared but shouldn't have. Putting yourself in their shoes, if you were the person in charge of Shenzhou, would you allow this to happen given the shortage of stock or the poor quality?
Absolutely not!
This is definitely a trump card!
Anyone with a modicum of rationality would not allow such a work to appear so easily; it must either not appear at all, or it must win an award!
Moreover, China is the host country for this World Arts Festival!
I probably won't do something like putting on a show when I'm not. After all, if I can't produce a good piece in a real competition, then even if I'm the star of the day, I'll only be ridiculed even more mercilessly in the future!
"Forest!"
"Forest!"
"Forest!"
…
Some audience members couldn't sit still any longer; stimulated by the rock music, many of them stood up and kept shouting.
The atmosphere seemed to have a magical quality, or perhaps it was as contagious as a virus. At that moment, the people around also stood up, and some even shouted enthusiastically!
"Does Auntie also like life?"
Two girls who looked to be in their early twenties were looking at the middle-aged couple beside them with curiosity.
In their view, ever since Fusheng appeared, the middle-aged couple had been in particularly high spirits, and compared to the audience around them, the two of them were quite something.
"Of course I like it."
Dong Juan waved towards the stage and replied.
"I didn't expect my aunt to be a fan of celebrities. That's quite a surprise."
The two girls were at a loss for words.
Of course, they chanted the name of the God of Floating Life just like everyone else, only they did so in a slightly more subtle way.
Compared to the middle-aged couples around them, they felt they were definitely fake fans.
"Following celebrities? What kind of celebrities?"
Seeing the two little girls looking puzzled, Dong Juan said with pride, "That's my son."
