This star is wrong

Chapter 138 "Young and Prosperous" is really uncomfortable
"Youth and Promise" is a song written, composed, arranged and sung by Li Ronghao.

The song won Billboard Radio China's 2018 Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Award.

There is an interesting joke about Li Ronghao.

Li Ronghao: You don't want to make a penny from me.

Because Li Ronghao produces songs, he will take care of all the work of writing lyrics, composing, arranging, singing, musical instruments, harmony, strings, recording, mixing, mastering and post-production.

One person is a team, and there is no need to spend money to hire people to work.

The reason for this is that Li Ronghao was a sound mixer before he officially debuted as a singer, and he also wrote songs for others.

Therefore, he can do all the work of making songs.

The lyrics of "Young and Promising" are not very gorgeous, but use simple words to tell a story deep in my heart.

This story is heart-wrenching, but it is in the past, and all that remains is blessings.

So there is no hysterical cry in this song, but after experiencing life, I miss this past in a mature tone.

Fang Xing used to sing this song often.

And this song, the more you sing, the more you can understand what is expressed in the lyrics.

As for the stories written in the lyrics, many Fang Xing have experienced it.

TV, smashed wall panels, and a bowl of hot porridge.

Fang Xing had experienced it all, so he was deeply touched.

During those days when he was on the verge of despair, Fang Xing didn't even dare to see anyone, he just wanted to lock himself in a basement alone, and let loneliness and despair swallow him up.

As written in the lyrics, Fang Xing smashed the wall, but the wall wasn't broken, but his fist was broken.

Because of this experience, even though I know this song is not suitable for competition, I still choose this song.

Singing is a way of expressing emotions.

What Fang Xing wanted was to think about what he wanted to express in his heart and express it with this song.

This is also something that needs to be pursued after the vocal skills have reached a certain height.

……

The stage lights dimmed and the scene fell silent.

The spotlight came down, and Fang Xing stood under the light with his head lowered, revealing a deep loneliness in the silence.

Before the prelude started, the story in the song spread out.

Then, the piano sound of the band came out, and the prelude sounded.

Fang Xing raised the microphone and began to sing in a deep and simple voice:
"The TV keeps flashing, and the contact information has not been deleted.

"You treated me well, but I ruined it by mistake.

"I also thought together, there is a place to sleep and eat.

"But how can I go through it? Day and night are upside down and I can't even make up the first payment..."

The four-line song is not a gorgeous rhetoric, but it tells a problem that many young people are facing.

The ever-increasing housing prices are no longer affordable by hard work.

When you meet someone who wants to live a lifetime, I hope there is a place that belongs to two people.

It's just working upside down day and night, and you can't make a down payment.

The four seemingly ordinary lyrics are written too realistically, and the reality is a bit cruel.

Fang Xing spent his days living in the basement in this cruel state of mind.

Singing the first four lines of the main song, the seemingly plain voice seemed to have magical powers, revealing this real and desperate state of mind to the audience.

The entire studio hall fell silent, and the audience listened solemnly.

It seems that in this plain singing, I can feel the despair and roar hidden behind it.

As long as the verse can pull the audience into the story the song tells, the song is half the battle.

However, Fang Xing did not pay attention to the audience's reaction, but was immersed in the song:

"The wall panels were smashed by me and haven't been repaired yet.

"A bowl of hot porridge, you are afraid that I won't have enough, so keep half of it and take it away.

"Describe it to you. In the future, you will often have red eyes..."

When the main song reached the last four lines, the emotion advanced again.

The first four sentences tell the origin of the story, and the last four sentences tell the process of the story.

Smashing the wallboard, in a simple sentence, expresses how much helplessness and struggle.

A bowl of hot porridge has written all about her and her kindness to myself.

The two people who were originally in love were no match for reality after all.

Fang Xing still clearly remembered that the former her had also dreamed about the future together, and described a happy life in the future.

Having a home, working, living, and having a child makes life complete in the hands of two people.

However, reality and time have changed everything.

During the two years of living in the basement, all the good things I had dreamed of were in vain.

Both know that the other cares about them, but the more they do, the less they can face reality.

A sentence of "I don't need your pity" that thinks that your self-esteem has been violated can destroy everything.

At that time, Fang Xing thought it was self-esteem, but later discovered that it was actually low self-esteem.

Extreme self-esteem is inherently low self-esteem.

After listening to the last four verses of the verse, the audience's chest began to rise and fall, feeling the story told in the song and the heavy struggle in the story.

feeling bad.

This is the first feeling of the audience when they hear this song.

This song is too real, so real that people dare not recall it.

……

In the rest area of ​​the starting singer.

The singers who finished singing all sat in the lobby of the rest area, and they discussed a few sentences from time to time between the singers singing.

However, when Fang Xing sang, no one spoke.

Moreover, the more people who have experienced setbacks, the more they can feel the terribly real helplessness and struggle in this song.

When Shen Xiyin heard this, her expression was a little dignified.

She hadn't experienced these things before, and she didn't feel that deeply, but she knew that the stories told in the song were true, and she had seen similar stories with her own eyes, so she was still touched.

Moreover, after she finished listening to the main song of this song, she immediately discovered that this song and Liu Hongsheng's "The Past" are completely different styles.

Because of the theme song of the TV series "The Past", although this song is very popular, the lyrics are actually a bit divorced from reality.

The story told in "The Past" is the story of two characters who live in the plot of the novel.

"Youth and Promise" is just the opposite. The stories it tells are the stories around you, and even the stories about yourself.

Therefore, there are two songs, one floating in the air, and listening to it is a romantic drama story.

The other one is so real, it's suffocatingly real.

……

Fang Xing didn't shout out the heart-wrenching emotion in his heart, but like a person who has gone through vicissitudes, he hid his emotion and guilt in his heart.

Therefore, when it comes to the chorus, the emotional expression is still restrained:

"If I am young and promising and not inferior, I know what is precious.

"Those beautiful dreams were not given to you, and I will be ashamed all my life.

"If I was young and determined to advance and retreat, I wouldn't let you suffer for me.

"Drink a few more glasses at the wedding, and your current one..."

The chorus sings the regret and guilt in my heart.

If at that time, I was young and promising, maybe everything would be different.

It's just that there are no ifs in life.

Those difficulties and setbacks experienced can never be changed.

In this relationship, there may have been quarrels, complaints, or incomprehension.

But after experiencing more in life, the only thing left is "guilt".

Because the good promises were not fulfilled, there is no hatred in this relationship, only shame.

Because at the wrong time, you meet the right person, and when you arrive at the right time, things have already changed.

The past is over after all, not to disturb is the last concern.

This regret can only be kept in the bottom of my heart and become a memory for each other.

When we meet again, we can still smile and nod, just like two strangers with familiar eyes.

Fang Xing injected all the emotions hidden in his heart into this song.

The voice full of stories sang to the hearts of the audience.

It's so real that people dare not listen to it a second time, but it often sounds, and I can't help but listen to it.

By the time of the last chorus, the melody and accompaniment become passionate.

The emotion expressed by Fang Xing advanced again, hitting the hearts of the audience again.

"If I was young and capable and didn't feel inferior, I would have tasted regret.

"Money status, I won it but really want to get it back..."

After the main song was sung for the last time, the accompaniment began to recover, the melody returned to calm, and the last line was sung:
"At the wedding, drink a few more glasses and wish me a young and promising future."

this sentence.

What I wish is not the current "I" who is young and promising.

Rather, the former "I".

This line is also the saddest line in the whole song.

If the "I" who used to live in the basement, faced life, struggled desperately, and was covered in bruises, could be young and promising, I wouldn't have so many regrets.

It's just that there are no ifs in life.

There is no going back.

The last sentence is over.

Fang Xing lowered his head, stood quietly on the stage, and gradually recovered his emotions.

The scene was still quiet, Fang Xing seemed to be able to hear the "I" who used to be, the desperate life opposite, hiding in a corner where no one was, crying silently.

However, Fang Xing on the stage didn't cry, but calmed down his emotions quietly, put all the helplessness and struggles in his heart back, and closed it up again.

The audience at the scene saw this scene, and many people's eyes began to turn red.

Some spectators even began to quietly wipe the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

A tearful male spectator gritted his teeth and scolded: "This song is so uncomfortable to listen to, I really don't want to vote."

"Come to the show, can't you make me happy?"

The surrounding audience felt the same way.

"This song sucks!"

"This dog singer, who has such an achievement at such a young age, is obviously young and promising, why did he write such a fucking song!"

Not just the audience.

Other competing singers were also touched by this song.

When Liu Hongsheng just finished singing, his expression was still very excited.

Because he played very well tonight, even better than in rehearsal.

Moreover, the arrangement of the whole song is magnificent, and the audience's response is also very enthusiastic.

Therefore, he originally thought that tonight's first place was a sure thing.

However, when he finished listening to Fang Xing's "Young and Promising", his expression became serious.

In fact, Liu Hongsheng didn't become a heavenly king as soon as he debuted.

Moreover, in the era when he debuted, technology was not as advanced as it is now.

When he first debuted, he released albums that no one bought, sang in bars, and was thrown bottles.

It can be said that he has experienced all the things in "Young and Promising", but in other forms.

Therefore, even if he looked at the song with colored eyes, he was still touched by it.

It is conceivable how the audience will react to this song.

Moreover, after these several competitions, Liu Hongsheng felt more and more that Fang Xing was terrifying.

The melody and lyrics of the song "Youth and Promise" are obviously very plain.

There is no magnificent tune, no gorgeous rhetoric, but it is this kind of plain words that Fang Xing sang to the hearts of the audience.

It is not difficult to sing a gorgeous song well, as long as the vocal skills are at home.

It is too difficult to sing a mediocre song to the point that it penetrates into the hearts of the audience.

However, Fang Xing managed to do it, and even his opponent was touched by the singing.

Liu Hongsheng suddenly began to worry about tonight's competition ranking.

He felt that the first place tonight was a little unstable.

The only reason that gave him hope of winning the first place made him even more helpless.

Although the song "Youth and Promise" sang to the hearts of the audience, it may not necessarily win high votes.

Because the audience must feel very sad after listening to this song, and they may not be willing to vote.

……

on the stage.

After the music stopped for more than ten seconds.

He Hao was about to return to the stage and have an interactive question with Fang Xing.

However, Fang Xing didn't wait for He Hao to come on stage, and bowed to the audience, "Sorry."

Then, he turned around and stepped off the stage, and went to the backstage bathroom alone to wait.

He Hao was stunned for a moment, but with rich hosting experience, he immediately made things right: "It seems that this singer is too involved in the show and needs to be alone.

"Then let's invite the next singer. The next singer is tonight's replacement singer. He is from Chaoshan and has studied Teochew opera.

"Let's invite tonight's replacement singer, Wang Tingwei!"

Behind Fang Xing, there were two other singers, Wang Tingwei and Xie Yuwen.

It's just that the audience at the scene was brought into the story of "Young and Promising", and they couldn't get out at all.

As a result, the songs sung by Wang Tingwei and Xie Yuwen were still unable to arouse the emotions of the audience.

When Wang Tingwei and Xie Yuwen sang, they already felt that the audience's interest was not high.

They've guessed why, but there's nothing they can do about it.

No matter how they play, they can't bring the audience back from "Young and Promising".

This also made the applause at the scene sparse after they finished singing.

After all the singers had finished singing, the 500 on-site hearings began to vote.

After the votes are ranked, the program team notifies the singer to go to the final ranking announcement hall.

Eight singers, sitting in a row again.

Because Liu Hongsheng was the fourth to sing, and Fang Xing was the fifth.

So, the two sat on the two chairs in the middle.

On Fang Xing's left is Wang Tingwei, the sixth replacement singer.

Wang Tingwei took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, I'm Wang Tingwei, you sang very well just now."

Fang Xing shook hands with him calmly, and said politely, "Hi, I'm Fang Xing, and you sing very well."

Wang Tingwei was more talkative, and continued to chat: "I heard that you have won two championships in a row, and you may win three consecutive championships tonight."

"Don't dare." Fang Xing waved his hands modestly.

Wang Tingwei's words were heard by Liu Hongsheng on the other side, which made his face even uglier.

After waiting for a few minutes, Zheng Tao came over with the final result and stood in front of the eight singers.

As expected, Zheng Tao continued his quest to whet the appetite. After going back and forth a few times, he announced the result of the kick.

This time, the singer was unsuccessful in kicking the pavilion, and Shen Xiyin kept the ranking with a slight advantage.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Tingwei's ranking was announced, ranking third.

Then Xie Yuwen ranked fifth, and Xu Xinyu ranked fourth.

After everyone's rankings were announced, the number one and No.2 were left behind.

The two singers whose rankings have not yet been announced are Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng.

"Director Zheng, you're getting worse and worse. You left number one and number two for the last, and it's Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng again." Although Xie Yuwen's ranking is not high, it's not too dangerous, so it's very easy now.

Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng sat next to each other, but they didn't speak to each other from the beginning to the end.

This made the air between the two seem to freeze.

Zheng Tao obviously made trouble on purpose, so he left the ranking of the two to the end.

He continued to tantalize: "This time, the difference between No.1 and No.2 is very small, only two votes apart.

"No.1273 votes, No.2271 votes, the difference is very small, it can be said that they are evenly matched."

When everyone heard the number of votes, they all took a deep breath.

The gap between the two votes is almost non-existent.

In this case, it is possible for anyone to take the first place.

Liu Hongsheng pulled up his suit and sat upright.

Hearing the number of votes, he felt hopeful in his heart that he would win.

Zheng Tao went on to say: "Since Fang Xing has won two consecutive championships, if he takes the first place again tonight, then "Singing" will have its first triple crown.

"So, will there be a Triple Crown in "Song"? Do you think it will?"

Xie Yuwen said impatiently: "Hurry up, do you know how the barrage scolded you in the first episode?"

Zheng Tao didn't mind at all, and said: "If scolding me can increase the ratings, then please scold me as much as you want."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Hongsheng and asked, "Liu Tianwang, do you think you have a chance to win the first prize tonight?"

Liu Hongsheng coughed, motioned to Fang Xing who was next to him, and said politely: "It's hard to say, Fang Xing sang really well tonight, and I was touched. It's just that after listening to it, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Zheng Tao kept smiling and said, "It's not just you who are uncomfortable, but I am also uncomfortable."

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Fang Xing again and asked, "So what about Fang Xing? Do you think you can still take first place tonight?"

Fang Xing squeezed out a half-hearted smile, and replied, "It's hard to say. When I was on stage, I heard the audience say that they were too uncomfortable to vote."

Zheng Tao asked: "Have you ever thought about this kind of result before?"

"I thought about it."

"Then why did you choose this song?"

"Because this song is what I want to express. As long as I sing to my satisfaction, nothing else matters." Fang Xing replied.

Zheng Tao nodded and said, "Okay, the official announcement of the No. [-] ranking tonight is... Fang Xing!
"Congratulations, the first Triple Crown winner of The Song.

"Tonight's audience proved one thing with their votes, as long as the singing can move them, they will use their votes to respond.

"Thank you for singing "Young and Promising" tonight, and thank you for your sincerity."
