Chapter 35: More than just a love song
Before tonight, Gu Fei was still unconvinced by the fact that he stopped in the top four of the group (out of 100 points), and he felt that the reason why Yu Shengan blew up the field and advanced and easily defeated himself was because he had accumulated a lot of popularity, and the two were not on the same starting line, so the competition was originally unfair.
In addition, compared to Cantonese songs, I am obviously better at singing Chinese songs, and the most proud of several original works are all Chinese songs, if this competition is not "Good Cantonese", I may not lose so ugly.
However, all these self-consolation thoughts came to naught with Yu Sheng'an's song "Exaggeration".
He realized an extremely cruel truth: if he and Yu Sheng'an PK Chinese, he would die an even more ugly death.
It's not that his "Exaggeration" is better than his Cantonese songs, but that his free-flowing and easy-to-use posture when singing is even more flawless.
The most terrifying thing is that this is just a song he picks up randomly when he passes by the square, and if he really participates in the competition, he may come up with a better work?
Of course, I have to admit that he was once again inspired by Yu Sheng'an's singing, especially when he heard the lyrics "If you are good enough, but you can't get ahead, at least you don't have a second me", which shocked inexplicably.
Perhaps, Zhao Shucai's sentence is really not wrong:
"On the stage of "Good Cantonese", I only lost to Yu Sheng'an. ”
......
After Yu Sheng'an finished singing, he bowed to the cheering crowd of onlookers, exchanged a few words with Gu Fei, left contact information for each other, and then returned to the hotel with his band mates.
At this moment, the square was almost full, but everyone did not riot and warmly saw off Yu Sheng'an to leave.
With Yu Sheng'an's current fame, he has already earned a song by prostituting him for nothing when he goes to a square, not to mention that he has also taken a video, and when the clip is finished and uploaded to social networks, he will inevitably receive a wave of envious likes and messages.
In fact, before 11 o'clock in the evening, the video of Yu Sheng'an singing in the square has begun to swipe the screen on Douyin, Weibo and Moments.
"Do you have to be exaggerated, meaningless right and wrong and true and false, pomp, packaging, and price comparison, who is the big winner......"
Throughout the night, countless people were brainwashed by the melody and lyrics of this song, and the part of the fans who were used to listening to Yu Sheng'an sing Cantonese also suddenly woke up, and Yu Sheng'an also sang "Ten Years".
For a while, the heated discussion about this song on the Internet quickly overpowered other related topics:
"It's not because I listened to this song, I almost forgot that Yu Sheng'an is still a master of singing Chinese songs!"
"I like Yu Sheng'an's Cantonese songs, but I look forward to his Chinese songs even more, and I hope he can produce more works like "Ten Years" in the future!"
I have to say that the appearance of his new song is so timely, it simply scares the current exaggerated atmosphere of public opinion. ”
"Please pay attention, this song is not only for those skewers and high-grade black, but also a reminder for some fans of Yu Sheng'an, don't be too pompous!"
"I have never had the opportunity to go to the scene of "Good Cantonese", and the TV program that has been edited and post-produced is not real enough, after watching the videos taken by netizens, I really feel that Yu Sheng'an's live is too explosive, and I must go to a concert of Yu Sheng'an when I have the opportunity in the future. ”
......
When Yu Sheng'an took "Exaggeration" to harvest the topic of frenzy, and finally formed a general trend, the news of his second bombing was mentioned by everyone again, and the two topics came together and began to sweep the hot search list.
"After the stage of "Good Cantonese" exploded twice, I can still sing lyrics like 'Who cares about what you think after the end of the show and after the curtain ends, who cares what you do', 'I just hope to catch your ears at some point and sing the first note for your musical dreams', I know that this man I am chasing!"
"Yu Sheng'an tells us an unbreakable truth: all arguments are meaningless, use works to speak!"
A large number of discussions formed a wave and maintained the heat, which attracted the attention of various yellow V, blue V and marketing accounts.
In comparison, the remarks of those skewers and high-grade black are very insignificant.
The entertainment industry is Vanity Fair, the most snobbish, utilitarian and realistic, once the general trend comes, even the most brainless sunspots will temporarily stop and wait patiently for the next opportunity to come.
This is especially true for professional black PR.
When they realized that Yu Sheng'an's current positive public opinion was irreversible, they immediately withdrew their troops, they didn't want to go against the majority of netizens at this time.
Moreover, now as long as there are remarks on the Internet that maliciously kill Yu Sheng'an, a large number of netizens will leave a message below to reply:
"Do you have to be pompous?"
not only made you punch the cotton, but also took the opportunity to promote Yu Shengan's new song.
This is the benefit of having a good work, which can provide a strong confidence for the artists themselves and their fans.
"What are your cooking achievements?"
"Oh, there is no actual performance, five hit songs in a row, two explosions, eight hot searches, and three times by the people's newspaper......"
This kind of real hard honor, just a simple list as if it is being touted.
The task given by the black publicists is to fight against the strings, but if one is not careful, everyone may be regarded as a friend, which is very embarrassing.
......
Donghai Peace Hotel.
Bao Fan sat in the room, staring at the mobile phone screen intently, looked at it for half an hour, threw the mobile phone aside, pinched his temples, and complained to himself:
"This Yu Sheng'an is really powerful, casually pretending to be a wandering singer and singing a song, you can be on the hot search ......"
Thinking of this, another thought couldn't help but pop in his heart: "It would be nice if Han Yue also had this skill." ”
After a short break, he picked up his phone again and sent a message out: "Ready to start Plan C." ”
Subsequently, he switched to the Weibo page and clicked on the homepage of "Lu Manni".
......
Jingyi District, a high-end apartment.
Mu Yushi sat on the sofa with a glass of milk in his left hand, and pulled the tablet on the coffee table with his right hand from time to time.
Just as I was looking at it happily, a WeChat prompt came to my mobile phone, which was a message from Gu Yun, the person in charge of public relations:
"Mr. Mu, is it your proposal for Yu Sheng'an to go to the square to sing? ”
Mu Yushi took a sip of milk and replied: "I didn't propose it, it should be his own temporary idea, and the effect is really good." ”
......
Lang Hotel.
Yu Sheng'an hadn't slept at this time, he was hesitating to choose the song for the group finals, and suddenly found that several WeChat groups were discussing the song "Exaggeration" he sang in the square.
So he looked at the news on the Internet by the way, and found that he was on the hot search again.
Netizens are really discussing the video of him singing "Exaggeration" in the square.
The original singer of this Chinese version of "Exaggerated" is Lin Zhixuan, who himself likes the melody and music of the Cantonese version of "Exaggerated" too much, so he specially asked someone to refill the lyrics.
The lyrics of the Chinese version are more straightforward, whether it is description or lyricism, they are all broken, tactful, unsubtle, and a few lyrics are also famous, praised by many fans.
However, the popularity of this song is not as good as the Cantonese version, not that it is not a good to listen to this kind of radish and cabbage debate, part of the reason may be because the Cantonese version of the "exaggerated" temperament is more incisive and more gloomy and paradoxical, especially under Eason Chan's interpretation with three points of evil, which can quite capture people's hearts.
Yu Sheng'an swiped Weibo for a while, so he stopped paying attention, put down his phone, and returned his attention to the selection of new songs.
After some screening, there are now three songs left in the notebook:
"Can't Say Goodbye"
"Song of a Thousand Thousand Que"
Long Live Friendship
After pondering for a while, I simulated it several times in my heart, and finally circled the first song, that is, Principal Tan's "Can't Say Goodbye".
This song is also one of the most widely sung Cantonese songs, and it can be called Principal Tam's signature love song.
However, as the song spreads from era to era, its extended meaning has become more and more far-reaching, and it has long gone beyond the category of simple love songs and has the universal meaning of "farewell".
Say goodbye to lovers, break up after graduation, and say goodbye to old friends...... Even when a favorite athlete retires or leaves, this song is a tear jerker.
What's more, this song was also the first song that came to his mind when he got the theme of the group finals.
As for "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", if he just listened to the original song Chen Huixian's version, he wouldn't be so entangled, the original version is classic enough, under Chen Huixian's interpretation, the whole song reveals a sense of parting, and at the same time, because of Chen Huixian's personal experience, she has integrated a bit of girlish feelings into the song - that is the meaning that Yu Sheng'an can't cover anyway.
However, as a bar singer, Yu Sheng'an has not only listened to the original song, but also listened to the cover version of his brother Leslie Cheung.
The last song, "Long Live Friendship", also fits the theme, but on the one hand, it is not as popular as the first two, and on the other hand, to present the song more perfectly, a choir is needed, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of rehearsal, so it is relatively easy to cross out.
