Chapter 15: Excitement!
The girl who judged happened to have broken up with her boyfriend two days ago, and her boyfriend's last sentence was the most far-fetched reason: "We are not suitable." β
Knowing that she was powerless, she could only look at her boyfriend's figure drifting away, smiling and shedding tears.
"I found that laughing and crying hurts the most!" The lyrics pierced her heart, and the memories rushed to the tear ducts with sadness.
The piano melody of just a few seconds quickly passed by, and Yu Xian's singing voice came out of the stereo again:
"That hill with you and me that day"
"Singing the song of the year like that"
"Memories like that are enough"
"Enough for me to taste loneliness every day"
The green hills, the lovers who are not destined for it, the high-flying kites, the back of watching the beloved go away aloneβa picture of youth and sadness gradually becomes clear in my mind.
This main theme was not immediately followed by the chorus as the contestants or judges imagined, but the accompaniment of a friendly children's song "Little Star" was heard. The unique sound of the piano played "Little Star" mixed with the faint and sad emotional tone of the song "Contentment" made everyone present feel a slight chill in their hearts, and a feeling that was inexplicable but could evoke countless dusty memories quietly occupied their brains.
Stringed instruments suddenly appear, the piano abruptly shifts to the main theme of "Contentment", and the chorus takes advantage of the opportunity to return:
"When a gust of wind blows, the kite flies into the sky"
"Touched by the blessing of praying for you"
"Finally you disappeared at the end of the sea of people"
"I found that laughing and crying hurt the most"
"When a gust of wind blows, the kite flies into the sky"
"Touched by the blessing of praying for you"
"Finally you disappeared at the end of the sea of people"
"I found out that laughing and crying hurts the most~WOW~"
The elongated tail note is like a shout, venting the tangled emotions that he can't bear to expose but make himself miserable. "Pain" and "WOW" are perfectly connected, and the emotions expressed and expressed in the previous lyrics form an invisible giant hand, pulling people who hear this song into the ocean of memory.
Towards the end of the song, Yu Xian's voice suddenly changed, and there was a feeling of relief after falling out of love:
"If I Fall in Love with Your Smile"
"How to collect, how to own"
"If you're happy it's not for me anymore"
"Will you let go is actually to have"
"The Joy of Contentment Makes Me Endure Heartache"
"The Joy of Contentment Makes Me Endure Heartache"
Yu Xian slowly closed his voice, and the accompanying strings slowly withdrew, except for the most sad piano sound, which persisted until the end of the song.
The inner hall of the concert hall was silent, and many judges or contestants subconsciously clenched their chests with their hands and cried in low voices.
"Judges, I'm done." Yu Xian whispered into the microphone, then bowed politely.
At this time, the judges and contestants came back to their senses, and there was thunderous applause for a while.
The inner hall was very dim, and the lights were all on the stage, so it was difficult for Yu Xian to see the expressions of those people in the audience. However, the judges' bench, which was very close to him, could be seen clearly.
In the judges' seat, the two female teachers had already cried into tears, and most of their makeup was spent; The three male judges all moved very quickly to wipe away tears; There was also a male judge who could not see tears on his face, but the tear stains were exposed by the reflection of the light; The only male teacher who did not cry also crossed his hands and ten fingers to support his chin lightly, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to radiate endless sadness to his surroundings.
"Yu Xian? If I'm not mistaken, you sang it and said 'this is an original song,' and this song ...... Did you create it? A male teacher, sitting on the left, asked in a somewhat trembling voice.
When Yu Xian heard the prestige, that person turned out to be Su Qianhao, the judge who rushed to him during the audition.
"Yes." Yu Xian secretly scolded himself for being "shameless" when he spoke, but this "Contentment" was indeed brought to this world by Yu Xian, and it makes sense to say that it was self-created.
Knowing that this excellent song that touched their hearts and was extremely sentimental was actually written by this ordinary boy in front of them, the judges on the judges' bench couldn't sit still, and several of them almost wanted to jump out of their seats excitedly.
"Yu Xian, let me dare to comment on the song "Contentment" you just sang." Su Qianhao suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and continued, "The song "Contentment" you sang, whether it is the lyrics, the soundtrack, or the emotional investment when you sing, is extremely outstanding. The melody of this song sounds very simple, but it is actually a great test of the singer's singing skills when sung. β
Su Qianhao was silent for a moment, grinded his teeth, and spoke again: "In the whole song, your pitch has always been very good, but the falsetto at the end is not very perfect, and there is a bit of a rush between the gaps in each sentence in each chorus, which makes the confidence not enough and lowers some of the levels." The above are all faults that I pick out in my eggs, because this song is your own song, I will give you full marks! β
"Full marks!?"
"I heard you right, the judge said he would give him a full score?"
"Oh my God! But his musical prowess is several notches above ours. β
Hearing the word "full score", the contestants in the audience exclaimed, and then they all cast envious glances at Yu Xian.
In a corner of the inner hall, Xu Tingting, who was wearing sexy clothes, was so angry that she stomped her feet: "How is it possible?!" I haven't even gotten such a good review! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! β
Outside the window at the back of the concert hall, Li Dafen kept patting Xu Tao's shoulder: "Little Taozi, did you hear it, did you hear it?!" Out! Salted fish, you are so good! β
At this time, a female teacher also leaned closer to the microphone: "Everyone be quiet, I also want to say a few words." β
When the inner hall was quiet, the female teacher spoke: "What a "contentment"! As you all know, the theme of our semi-finals is 'Broken Love'. Before Yu Xian took the stage, we had already listened to the singing of 16 contestants. In their songs, they either pretend to be wanton and disdainful after falling out of love, or they moan endlessly about how much pain they are suffering and how deep the pain is. Especially the sixteenth, who has just come on the field, is simply a mess! β
When Xu Tingting heard this voice, it was the female teacher judge who had just criticized her for giving her a bad evaluation, and now hearing that the female teacher had also come out as a negative teaching material, made her so angry that she was almost crazy. The most terrible thing is that he originally wanted to play in front of Yu Xian and create obstacles and desperate situations for Yu Xian, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not be a handful of rice, but would become a stepping stone for Yu Xian!
Xu Tingting angrily raised her pink fist and swung it to her right hand, unexpectedly hitting the metal frame of the seat, and the pain from her right hand and the unwillingness in her heart forced her tears to quickly gather and flow.
"! What is this teacher's name? That's a great point to say! Haha, that slut is probably going to be angry to the point of seven orifice jets! Li Dafen outside the window was even more happy to dance, eager to break through the window immediately, hug the female teacher, and then turn around and taunt Xu Tingting again.
The governess paused and said in an affirmative tone, "I must admit that I don't have much research on music. However, music is not for insiders, but more for us ordinary people to enjoy. So, I'll give you full marks too! β
