Chapter 14: The Soul Singer (13)
As soon as he started singing, Chen Shujie unconsciously sat in the position where Zhou Yin had just sit, and the accompanying assistant immediately asked people to switch the content played on the big screen in front of him to the front desk singing scene.
Not only is it Wu Tianyu's most distinctive work in the early days, it has an unusual meaning for Chen Shujie, like all those who come to the concert for this song, it represents a period of youth, confused and ignorant, but full of longing.
As soon as Qingyue's singing sounded, Chen Shujie was stunned, which was completely different from the singing method he was familiar with. As I continued listening, I was surprised to find that the same connotation was given different vitality and could bloom such an unimaginable flower! It's not the song he's heard countless times, but it's the song he's heard countless times! It's just that the interpretation of the lyrics and songs is more thorough and more infectious!
Because the boss always listens to it in the car, Wang Tezhu is also very familiar with this song, and he was surprised that Cheng Dù was not much lower than Chen Shujie, so he couldn't help but come up, "He sang this song like this, ...... do you think of it?" ”
Chen Shujie raised his hand to stop Wang Tezhu and motioned him not to speak yet, so as not to interrupt his train of thought.
The repertoire of Wu Tianyu's concert is arranged in strict accordance with the order in which he has been created over the years.
After that, it is a graceful campus song, Wu Tianyu's clear and smart voice conquered the audience again, when singing to the second half, all the people in the audience who can sing began to chant in a low voice, different from the hot singing scene of other popular stars, Wu Tianyu can use his own music to create zào artistic conception, drive the atmosphere, in the fresh and melodious campus songs, everyone's mood is quiet, as if in the blue sky and white clouds, carefree campus life, When they sang along, they were also subconsciously very tactful and gentle, not wanting to spoil the beautiful atmosphere with a noisy voice.
This is a real chorus of 10,000 people, all of them are emotionally engaged, serious interpretation, even if everyone's voice is not loud, but gathered together, the shock can not be underestimated, the thick and soft singing resounded throughout the audience, even the backstage staff also have a lot of things in their hands, gathered together to show the front desk scene in front of the big screen to stop and watch.
At the end of the song, the applause was even longer and warmer than just now. This applause is not only for Wu Tianyu, but also for himself.
Next are two love songs that were widely sung a few years ago, which are Wu Tianyu's masterpieces of that period, and the affectionate and graceful style of music is becoming more and more mature and perfect.
Zhou Yin simply stood on the stage, holding the microphone in his hand, and performed affectionately, his standing posture was very natural, and his elegance was a little more transparent
The excellent order of the scene was maintained until the intermission, after Zhou Yin bowed, the automatic lifting plate under his feet was activated, the white beam hit him, and the figure slowly disappeared into the stage.
The audience woke up to their senses, and a loud burst out, and the deafening applause accompanied by the shouting of Wu Tianyu's name almost toppled the dome of the stadium.
Chen Shujie let out a long breath, turned around and asked Wang Tezhu, "What do you think?" ”
Wang Tezhu has followed him for many years, has a lot of eyesight, and his thinking is also very clear, "Wu Tianyu's two previous singles have all been retained, and they have not yet reached the level of tonight. ”
Chen Shujie nodded, "Yes, he deliberately hid his strength before. Wu Tianyu knows how to market himself very well, the previous single release is all foreshadowing, and he will be worth twice as much after tonight's concert! Thinking of Wu Tianyu's previous series of practices, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "No wonder he attaches so much importance to this solo singing!" ”
Suddenly a little depressed feeling of capsizing in the gutter, Chen Shujie always thought that Wu Tianyu was a musician who was dedicated to art, and like most talented artists, he had a high personality and was unwilling to be flexible.
Who knew that he actually looked away! Wu Tianyu showed himself in a more direct way! disdainful of begging for people, let alone hugging his thighs, bypassing a series of invisible rules in the entertainment industry, he perfectly interpreted with a series of highly actionable operations and arrangements: talent is willful!
After tonight, Wu Tianyu's status in the domestic music scene will rise to a new height, and it is well deserved!
Wang Tezhu remembered other 'important' things, took out his mobile phone to find a secluded place to dial Minister Li's number, and after asking in a low voice for a while, he came back with a wry smile on his face, "Our cooperation agreement with Wu Tianyu actually missed the right to record and broadcast this concert. ”
"Leaked?!" Chen Shujie was very dissatisfied with this word, if that was the case, he would let Minister Li leave class tomorrow.
Wang Tezhu explained, "It can't be said that it was missed, it should be said that it was not taken seriously." Minister Li said that because Wu Tianyu and we were not even officially singers when we talked about cooperation, we only agreed on the distribution ratio of tickets and advertising revenue for concerts that were only likely to be organized. Because he wanted to ensure that he did not lose money, Minister Li set the share ratio very high at that time, and Wu Tianyu proposed to want the recording and broadcasting rights of the concert as a quid pro quo. ”
Chen Shujie snorted, "Lao Li thinks that no one may want the recording and broadcasting rights of this concert, it is better that the tickets and advertising revenue are real money, so he agreed?!" He's got a long way to go! ”
Wang Tezhu felt that this could not be blamed on Minister Li's lack of foresight, at that time, no one knew that Wu Tianyu had this strength, and Minister Li dared to make a decision to invest in cooperation with him, so he only smiled and made no noise.
Zhou Yin is going to sing the theme song of a TV series next.
Wu Tianyu has written theme songs and ending songs for many film and television works, which is one of the most successful. The TV series is the theme of spy warfare in the last century, and this song is full of the drunken gold fans in the metropolis in that passionate and turbulent era, the turbulent passion and soft atmosphere, as well as those heroes who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die for the sake of their beliefs and ideals.
In order to match the style of the music, and at the same time to add some new atmosphere to the scene, Zhou Yin changed into a dress that male dancers usually have when dancing international standard dances. The snow-white palace-style shirt, the placket is decorated with delicate frills, and the top two buttons are unbuttoned, revealing a small piece of fair-skinned, thin but not weak chest, which makes his Qingjun Sven temperament mixed with a little bit of □□, not much, only a little bit, but it makes people itch after seeing it. The bottom/body is slim black trousers, and the waist is surrounded by a very wide belt, which outlines the chic figure with thin waist and long legs.
A female dancer in a flaming backless dress dances with him.
Zhou Yin is actually very good at dancing and tango, both of which have been studied and practiced hard for the role during filming in the past, but in order to match Wu Tianyu's temperament and the atmosphere of this song, he chose a smooth and elegant waltz this time.
The deliberately lengthened prelude became the background music of this dance, and when Zhou Yin danced with her beautiful female dance partner, the audience's cognition was refreshed again, it turned out that Wu Tianyu is not only music!
His tall figure, good appearance with temperament, good sense of musicality, and coordinated and beautiful movements make his dancing posture also very charming.
When a singer's singing skills, appeal, stage performance, and external image index reach the peak together, his comprehensive charm is almost unstoppable, and he will be a well-deserved darling of the music world!
The dance designer carefully adapted the dance steps to be more suitable for the singing scene, and then the female dancers had a large solo dance, and every time she rotated to Zhou Yin's side and cooperated with him to make movements, it was a highlight.
Wu Tianyu's singing voice is still the soul of the stage, and the gorgeous melody with hidden strength brings people back to that era of drunkenness and war, some people are drunk and dreaming of death, and some people are fighting for their ideals!
At this time, in addition to appreciation, it is superfluous to say anything, and even Chen Shujie sat in the background and finally abandoned the inertial idea of always carrying a business model, stared at the screen silently, and completely immersed himself in this audio-visual feast. I was even a little glad that for some special reasons, I came to the concert in person tonight on a whim.
It is undeniable that although Chen Shujie has fully supported Wu Tianyu's solo singing before, he is not very optimistic about the practice of rushing to hold a concert after only being a singer for more than two months.
But halfway through the concert, all his ideas have been overturned, this is not a quick product that has only been prepared for two months, Wu Tianyu may have been preparing for this moment for ten years? Twenty years? From the moment he aspired to be a musician, he was slowly accumulating and maturing, and every song was a milestone, pouring all his understanding and perception of music and life! It is an undeniable work of art.
After that, there are still two affectionate and moving love songs, which is an area that Wu Tianyu has devoted the most effort to before the age of thirty, and has formed his own unique style, the beginning and end of the tune, and the tactful turning of the lyrics are perfect, which were sung by a powerful singer and an idol singer before. It belongs to the classics that everyone is familiar with, and at this time it is sung by Zhou Yin, and it fully expresses the advantages of being interpreted by the creator himself, his understanding of the lyrics and songs is profound and thorough, or the meaning of these lyrics and songs is given by him, this advantage allows him to sing lightly, skillfully and tactfully, and express the artistic conception in the song in a meticulous manner.
Each song is a surprise for the listener, and the already familiar melody is given a new connotation and raised to a new level.
And Wu Tianyu, as the original creator of these songs, singing better will not offend those singers who have already sung these songs, after all, those are his songs, and he naturally knows better how to express and interpret them.
And then naturally. These two songs are popular, and they can be found in the top three of the major charts recently, and they resonate with the audience the most.
Sure enough, not long after Zhou Yin sang, it once again triggered a spectacular chorus of 10,000 people.
Chen Shujie only listened to the first half and knew that Wang Tezhu was right, Wu Tianyu's recorded singles were not as good as the current singing level. It's a means and a kind of self-confidence, which you would never dare to do without perfect control over your music.
suddenly remembered that if it was the ninth song, what would Wu Tianyu sing the last song?
It is self-evident how important the last finale track of a solo concert is, it stands to reason that it is Wu Tianyu's latest creation, his first song, and the song with the best response, since he has arranged the singing repertoire in this way according to the chronological order of creation, it must be the last one, how did it become the penultimate song?
I was thinking that the ninth song sung in this show had ended, Zhou Yin and the audience calmed down a little, and made a gesture to ask everyone to listen to him quietly, the action was very playful, he had a good temperament, and it was not ugly to make, and it was very pleasing.
After the audience laughed, it was a lot quieter, Wu Tianyu's clear voice sounded, not slow, not slow, with incomparable solemnity in the peaceful timbre, "The last song of tonight's concert is my new work, and it is also my most satisfying work so far, I dedicate its first song to every listener who is listening to this concert, you are the driving force and source of my creation, I will always love you!" Raising his voice slightly, "The name of this song is called!" To you! ”
After a while, the audience began to buzz, and the audience was still immersed in the excited afterglow of a song just now, which was the most high-pitched song among all Wu Tianyu's released works, which had pushed the atmosphere of the concert to a high / tide, with this foreshadowing, everyone couldn't help but look forward to the last song, which could make Wu Tianyu say the most satisfied! That won't disappoint everyone.
Chen Shujie also sat up straight unconsciously, he had an intuition, and the next song would have a profound impact on him.
It kicks off with a solo piano recital, with an explosive accent that instantly strikes a tremor in people's hearts, followed by ups and downs, full of intensity, and unrestrained excitement that makes the listener's blood boil.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Tianyu's voice that seemed to touch the soul of the listener sounded, no longer the previous Qingyue melodious, but full, gorgeous and full of shocking power!
The crowd wondered how he could sing these two very different effects with the same voice. I only know that this song has completely jumped out of Wu Tianyu's previous style, and the passionate music is like an invisible huge whirlpool, and the people present can't extricate themselves after being involuntarily involved in it, so they can only follow the ups and downs together!
The style and context of Wu Tianyu's singing this night are very clear, which is an abbreviation of his personal music career. From confusion and ignorance to youth and hope; romantic, beautiful, then melancholy, sentimental; After that, it was very inspirational and high-pitched, until the last one - shocking! A beautiful piece of music that touches the soul!
The comment that everyone in the room could think of was 'Shocking!' ’
The singer on stage is not just singing with his vocal skills, he is singing with an incomparable passion for music! Singing with your soul! The power of music is brought into full play, and it is directed at people's hearts. The gorgeous melody and the impeccable sound hit the ear drums, blooming like fireworks in my mind, and the passion was so wonderful that people wanted to cry and go crazy!
Everyone knows they've come to the right place tonight!! Wu Tianyu was born for music, it's so exciting! I believe that those who are lucky enough to come to this concert will have a common feeling, that is, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime!!
Chen Shujie clenched his hands, and at this extremely shocking moment, he thought of the 'sincerity' that Wu Tianyu said when he rejected him!
Wu Tianyu didn't accept him because he was not sincere!
Chen Shujie once thought that this was a bit naïve, even the stupidity of an artist.
It's not naïve, and it's not stupid! It is this unparalleled sincerity that has made his music career brilliant! ——Chen Shujie believes that after tonight, Wu Tianyu's music road will be brilliant!
It was very long, the singing lasted for ten minutes, and after the end, it was deafening applause and shouts, and the applause lasted for at least twenty minutes.
The first person to greet him was not the staff, not his assistant, nor the agent Sister Bao, but Chen Shujie, the boss of Taimei. Chen Shujie's face was solemn, but his eyes were very bright, staring at him fixedly, and stretched out a hand, "Congratulations!" Very exciting! ”
Zhou Yin's whole body was about to fall apart, and after relaxing, the soreness spread all over every joint, every muscle, and his voice was a little hoarse, but his mood was unprecedentedly relaxed and happy. This time, he saw respect in the other party's eyes, and it was no longer superior, so he caught Chen Shujie's outstretched hand, shook it, and smiled slightly, "Thank you!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I felt a flower in front of me, and then I was hugged heavily into a very thick chest.
Without waiting for him to struggle, Chen Shujie quickly let go of his hand, "Have a good rest, your voice is hoarse." I'll see you in a few days. ”
Zhou Yin was hugged in public for some reason, and when he heard such a sentence again, he couldn't help but immediately refute, "I have already said that we are not suitable." ”
Chen Shujie is full of confidence, "It will be appropriate, and I will be very sincere about the target I have identified!" ”
Zhou Yin, "This ............"
"You'll see." Chen Shujie patted him, "Hurry up and remove your makeup and change clothes, go back to rest early, don't hold a celebration party at night, the company will help you hold a large-scale event in a few days." "No more verbose, just take the people and leave first.
The staff gathered around, followed by his little assistant and Sister Bao with a smile on her face.
Zhou Yin didn't plan to go to the celebration banquet at night, for this concert, he overloaded for more than two months, and finally successfully completed the task.
Sister Bao was considerate of him, although she was full of congratulations to say, but she controlled herself, and after expressing it concisely, she asked the assistant and two staff members to send him back, and she stayed with the work team to celebrate the banquet.
Zhou Yin knew that it was not good for him, the protagonist, not to participate in the next celebration banquet, but he was really tired and urgently needed to return to the soft big bed at home, sink into it, and then sleep to death.
Zhou Yin finally insisted on going home, he didn't even bother to take a shower, threw his coat away, and threw himself directly on the bed, when Matthew called.
Zhou Yin sighed and picked it up, Matthew's love on the phone was very high, "Wu! I watched your concert. ”
Zhou Yin was a little strange, "How can you see that the concert is not open for live broadcasting?" ”
Matthew smirked, "I can see it if I want to." ”
Zhou Yin didn't want to dwell on it too much, "Okay." ”
Matthew, "Awesome! Wu, no one can resist your charm on stage, I think I'm in love with you! ”
Zhou Yin's face was expressionless, and he looked into the phone, "Thank you!" ”
Matthew was dissatisfied, "Wu, I'm serious!" ”
Zhou Yin was patient, "I'm also very serious, thank you." ”
Matthew snorted, "I rarely talk to people about feelings, you should feel honored and not routinely thank you!" How, think about it, right? ”
Zhou Yin was about to die, covered his mouth and yawned, and then said into the microphone, "I'm sorry, Taimei's boss Chen Shujie just made the same request to me, in order, I need to consider him before I think about your proposal." ”
Matthew sighed, was silent for a while, knowing that Zhou Yin still had no idea about him, so he had to give up, and couldn't help but say before hanging up the phone, "I know you like Mai Chengyue, but since you don't want to play and only talk about very strict feelings, then I solemnly advise you to give up on him as soon as possible." His family would not allow it, and he was born into such a family with more responsibilities than ordinary people, and he had no qualifications to be willful. If he leaves the family regardless of it, it only shows that he is cowardly and irresponsible. So you guys can't do it! ”
Zhou Yin smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone, but his tone remained steady, "I know that on the third day he went back, I received a letter of apology that he couldn't come during the winter vacation." But he's still young, and when he can't make his own decisions, I'm not going to judge anything right away. ”
…………
Zhou Yin hung up the phone, and the overwhelming feeling of sleepiness hit him again, as if he was about to fall into a deep sleep that would never wake up.
This felt very familiar, and it seemed that he had experienced such a deep sleep before he became Wu Tianyu.
Zhou Yin was a little helpless and a little relaxed, after all, this is Wu Tianyu's body, Wu Tianyu's feelings, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take care of things in the future.
There is no reason, Zhou Yin just knows that Wu Tianyu has not left, he is here, fighting side by side with himself, without him, he would not be able to complete those difficult singing and creation! Perhaps they are different individuals of the same soul in different parallel spaces, so they can fit together.
The moment he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep like shock.

Ten years later.
Summer.
The winners of the Ethereal Music Award were announced in the drunken summer and high expectations.
The Ethereal Music Award is awarded every three years, and has become the most valuable award in the domestic music scene with its absolute authority, fairness and wide influence.
And this time, veteran musician Wu Tianyu undoubtedly became the biggest winner again, winning three awards for Best Lyricist, Best Composer, and Best Male Singer.
Given Wu's sheer strength, almost no one was surprised by this result, and many speculated that he would become the youngest ever winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the next Ethereal Music Awards.
Wu Tianyu is a legend in the music world, the most talented musician, and the most low-key singer.
He began writing songs at the age of 17 and wrote many classics in the following decade or so, while he himself was in the background, and most of the time he couldn't remember who created a well-known song.
At the age of 30, his career entered a brief low period, and some peers wrote anonymous articles mocking his "clichés" and "unchanging melodies".
After a quiet rest, Wu Tianyu forcefully refuted the attack in a way that shocked everyone. He walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and performed the latest works by himself, with a passionate and shocking music style, and perfectly achieved a self-breakthrough.
Many people still can't imagine why Wu Tianyu, who has such a perfect singing voice, is so calm between the ages of seventeen and thirty, and in the most passionate years of his life, how he is willing to live quietly behind the scenes with a calm mentality, and only seriously be a songwriter!
In today's impetuous world, this state of mind that is willing to be lonely and only loyal to music and art is admirable.
That concert has almost become a myth, and no one has been able to surpass it to this day. And Wu Tianyu has never held a concert since then, which makes that one and only one more precious!
In the decade that followed, he released singles that could be counted on two palms, but each one was a classic, enough to sustain his legendary status in the music world.
Wu Tianyu is still low-key, living in seclusion, and has almost no friends, but he has a close friendship with the famous French director Matthew, and during Matthew's filming, he is often seen meeting Wu Tianyu during his break, and the two eat together, or go to the neighborhood together.
Chen Shujie, the head of Taimei Entertainment, is also a figure that can often be photographed by the paparazzi lurking near his home, but in view of Chen Shujie's status in the rivers and lakes and the control of Taimei Group over the media, it is impossible for this matter to be taken out for hype, only insiders in the circle tacitly believe that the boss of Taimei is enthusiastically pursuing Wu Tianyu.
Chen Shujie himself also generously let this go, and did not make any evasion or justification. It's a pity that no matter how raging the fire of gossip is, it can't compete with the washing of time, so many years later, Wu Tianyu is still alone, and no matter how outrageous the rumors are, they will naturally subside.
=========
On a secluded path next to XX Park in Z City, a small coffee shop with an elegant environment sits next to the road.
The decoration of the coffee shop is very stylish, the coffee served is also fragrant and delicious, and it is rumored that its owner is the music legend Wu Tianyu, and people often come to visit, so although the location of this shop is not good, it is very remote, but it is also tepid to do business.
In the early morning, there are few pedestrians on the road.
A tall and handsome man walked slowly down the side street, he should be a tourist who came to this coffee shop, and stopped a student with a school bag on the way, "How do you get to Xinyue Coffee Shop?" ”
The student casually pointed to the road, "That's over there." ”
The man asked, "Is the door open?" ”
"It's open, and that store opens very early every day."
The man hesitated and asked, "How long has that coffee shop been here?" ”
The student was asked, scratching his head, "I don't know this, what are you doing?" Ask about these, is it a journalist? Looking up and down at the man, he didn't feel like it, "Anyway, I've lived here since I was a child, and that coffee shop has always been there." ”
The man's face shook, and he thanked him and continued to walk forward.
After a while, I saw Xinyue Coffee Shop. Like many coffee shops, there is a wrought-iron medallion engraved with the name of the shop in front of the door, but if you look closely, you will find that the pattern on the plaque is very interesting, it is two bicycles meeting head-to-head.
The man stood in the doorway for a full five minutes before taking a deep breath and pushing the door in.
The store is warmly furnished, with low fabric sofas and small round tables, each with a beautiful little vase with a flower or two in it, and the smell of coffee fills the air.
It's still early, and there is only one person sitting by the window in the store, wearing a very refreshing light-colored short-sleeved shirt, sitting there, you can also see that the figure is long, the face is very elegant, and the traces of time at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes make him exude a very unique charm. He was looking out the window with a leisurely attitude, looking at the scenery on the side street.
The tall and handsome man walked over, his hand hanging at his side clenched and relaxed, relaxed and clenched, "Hey, long time no see!" ”
Wu Tianyu raised his head, as if he saw an old friend who had only met a few days ago, and showed a smile, "Chengyue, long time no see!" ”
Mai Chengyue looked at him stunned, this is still the person in his memory, but his temperament is more mature and introverted! The artistic atmosphere that once fascinated him around him is also stronger, "What a coincidence, you often come here to sit?" ”
Wu Tianyu shook his head slightly, and said in a gentle tone as if talking about today's weather, "No, I only come once a year, that is, today every year, sit from morning to noon, drink a cup of coffee, look at the scenery outside, miss some past events, and wait for someone by the way." Looking at the calendar on the wall, "This is the tenth time I've been here." ”
Come once a year,
This is the 10th time!
Come and see the scenery,
Nostalgia for the past,
Wait for someone......
Mai Chengyue's tears burst out of his eyes, he is already thirty years old, for a man of this age, tears are a very strange thing, so strange that its appearance will be accompanied by trembling and pain in the heart, "Fool! What if I hadn't come! ”
Wu Tianyu's eyes also flashed with water, but his tone was still very calm, as if he was saying something that was taken for granted, but he spoke very slowly, and said word by word, "I will continue to wait, wait-to-me-old, wait-to-me-die!" ”
Mai Chengyue's ears seemed to ring what Wu Tianyu said to him many years ago after practicing hard singing: There are two things in my life that will be respected forever and will not be compromised for any reason, one is my music, and the other is my love!
He really did it, the music interpreted with his soul, and the love that he waited for with his life!
Walking over, slowly squatting in front of him in slow motion, Mai Chengyue looked up at him, and told him with a solemn oath, "It won't take so long, you've already waited!" ”
Probably because he felt that it was □□ quiet in the morning, the little boy who mixed coffee behind the bar turned on the stereo and played a new song by Wu Tianyu: .................. lifemaybesad,butit’salwaysbeautiful…………
