"Is that the opening theme he wrote for Shenzhou?"
"Yes, I was also surprised when I first found out. By the way, he has another identity: a piano master."
Inside the venue, countless eyes were focused on Lin Rui.
Discussions about Lin Rui have been ongoing.
Some people were surprised by Lin Rui's youth, while others were surprised by his talent, but actually, not many people paid much attention to the songs Lin Rui was going to sing next.
There were plenty of so-called prophets around, who could tell that it was rock music just by looking at the stage setup.
However, most people are not optimistic about Shenzhou's rock music, even though the song was written by Lin Rui, who is also the lead singer.
Some people were dismissive, some watched coldly, but others were expectant, even excited.
The general public, especially those in China, are getting excited. They never expected that Fu Shen would give them such a big surprise, and they were even more surprised that the authorities would be so considerate as to give Fu Shen a fourth-series appearance!
"Why would someone suddenly want to do rock music?"
"Judging from this, is it still the 'madman's song?"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Director Luo was somewhat puzzled.
At this moment, he was sitting in the office with Ren Hetai, watching the opening ceremony of the World Arts Festival.
They wanted to experience the spectacle of 500,000 people gathering together, but unfortunately, they couldn't find a way to buy tickets.
"Lin Rui has always been a very sensible kid. He chose the 'Dianyu Song' song, and the organizers even arranged for him to perform fourth. Don't you understand that?"
Ren Hetai looked like he had everything under control.
Director Luo, who had long since learned his lesson, was somewhat surprised: "So, this was a deliberate arrangement by the authorities?"
"right."
Ren Hetai nodded: "I received news that many of the songs submitted this time were in foreign languages."
Despite his doubts, Director Luo remained silent.
Ren Hetai could easily see through Director Luo's little scheme, but he didn't expose it: "I can completely understand the official approach. Just think about it, can the quality of a song really be determined solely by the melody?"
"No." Director Luo shook his head cooperatively.
"In my opinion, a good song has a melody as its body and lyrics as its soul; neither can be missing."
"What ranking do you think songs like 'Jiangnan,' 'Nocturne,' and 'Coral Sea' would achieve at the World Arts Festival?"
Faced with Ren Hetai's question, Director Luo instinctively wanted to say something like, "At the very least, top three."
But suddenly he stopped himself from saying what he was about to say, because he inadvertently caught the playful look in Ren Hetai's expression.
"Principal, with the quality of these works, it shouldn't be difficult to get a good ranking, right?"
They have made some progress.
Ren Hetai smiled knowingly, remaining silent despite his apparent understanding, and slowly said, "I don't know if we can achieve a good ranking, but I'm certain that Lin Rui will never use these songs at the World Arts Festival."
Director Luo was completely speechless. He admitted that he couldn't quite keep up with Ren Hetai's train of thought.
"No matter what kind of work it is, the ranking will never be determined by us, but by the people on the judging panel."
Ren Hetai sighed, "Of the ten judges, probably only one or two can understand our country's language."
Director Luo suddenly realized, "So that's where the problem lies!"
"Principal, wouldn't our country's athletes be at a disadvantage if this were the case?"
"uncertain."
Ren Hetai smiled slightly: "I was surprised that some very strong superstars were not selected for the World Arts Competition. After I sorted them out, I found that these people who were not selected were not very good at, or even did not understand foreign languages at all."
"Later I heard that there were some changes in the World Arts Festival song library, so I have reason to believe that the authorities had made arrangements in advance."
After a pause, Ren Hetai waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this now, the song is about to start."
Sure enough, Lin Rui was already standing in the lead singer's position in the camera's view.
In front of him was a standing microphone.
Of course, he wasn't the only one on stage.
Wen Wenxuan sat in front of the drum set, Xiao Jingyu carried an electric guitar on his shoulder, and Chi Tianju had a turntable in front of him.
As for Zheng Jiayou, he sat in front of the piano, and on the piano was also a microphone.
A scene with 500,000 people!
You don't even need to look; even with your eyes closed, you can feel the gazes coming from all directions!
Are you under pressure?!
have!
Xiao Jingyu, Zheng Jiayou, Wen Wenxuan and Chi Tianju were all a little unsettled, feeling the pressure of this unprecedented sense of being on the field.
Even their fingers were sweating. They glanced at Lin Rui in front of them and found that he looked perfectly calm. His composure, even in the face of 500,000 pairs of eyes, made them both envious and curious. They seemed to want to know if Lin Rui had any secrets to dealing with pressure.
Unfortunately, even if they had the knowledge, they couldn't simply learn it and apply it immediately.
Perhaps sensing the tension among the four, or perhaps having anticipated it beforehand, Lin Rui made his move.
Emotional halo!
Start!
Synergy Halo!
Start!
Conductive light halo!
Start!
"What's wrong with me... why am I suddenly excited?"
"Yes! This is a chance to make a name for yourself!"
"Not only the 500,000 audience members here, but also audiences throughout China and even the world are watching my next performance!"
"I shouldn't feel pressured, I should feel lucky!"
At this moment, Zheng Jiayou's breathing became rapid.
The panic in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by sharpness and determination.
Not only him, but Xiao Jingyu, Wen Wenxuan and Chi Tianju also changed their expressions.
"These people are quite strange."
"I can tell. You were so nervous just now, how come you suddenly..."
Whether they were at the scene or watching the live stream, there were many discerning viewers.
They were very familiar with Xiao Jingyu and his group's previous performance, and many of them had even been gloating, waiting for Shenzhou to make a fool of itself.
But to everyone's surprise, the contrast between Xiao Jingyu and the others' current mood and their previous demeanor was truly astonishing.
Before anyone could think about it, suddenly, a low and undulating melody began to play.
Almost instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to the prelude.
Many professional rock musicians used to seem indifferent to this.
But at this moment, surprise was clearly seen in their eyes, and this surprise was growing stronger as the prelude continued.
Just then, Chi Tianju skillfully began to play with the turntable in front of him. His skillful yet elegant technique earned him nods of approval from many of his fellow band members.
Whether at the scene or watching the live stream, many people began to hold their breath at this moment, because even they themselves couldn't understand why their palms were already trembling after just a prelude!
Without any preparation?
Is this exciting?
Before they could react, Xiao Jingyu's right hand fingers moved downwards, and Wen Wenxuan's drumsticks began to strike in a crisscross pattern.
"God!"
Someone exclaimed!
At that moment, many of his fellow rock musicians had already stood up instinctively, their eyes filled with disbelief.
