Chapter 256: The Empty City
After the singing. Whew
The big screen behind Nangong Yu revealed the song information.
"Dream East"
"Word: Nangong Yu."
"Song: Nangong Yu."
After seeing these lines, the audience was in an uproar.
"It's really Nangong Yu's own original work?"
"Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, Nangong Yu is the top in this batch of contestants in terms of singing skills and creative ability." Whew
"I'll just say, Nangong Tianwang has never composed a national style song, so this is not his handiwork."
Although there is a great god behind Nangong Yu, none of the judges on the scene suspected that his father wrote it, after all, the style difference between the two is too great.
The style of the singer is basically fixed, and even if you try something new sometimes, you can see the shadow in it.
Of course, the phenomenon of "Didi ghostwriting" is also quite a bit in the music world.
In the early years, some music companies bought some songs in order to build momentum for their own artists, and then said that they were composed by their own singers, to market the song point of singer-songwriters.
It's a rare practice now.
In addition, Nangong Jianye, as a dignified king, would not consider this way of ruining his reputation to help his son, no matter how bad he was, it was completely unnecessary. Whew
This was followed by question time from the judges.
There are 100 judges on the scene, and it is impossible for each of them to ask questions once, only a few judges will ask questions to the contestants.
Basically, all I asked was about the song.
In the face of the various professional questions mentioned by the judges, Nangong Yu also answered them fluently.
not only fully introduced the creative concept of this song, but also expressed his understanding of music.
With such a confident appearance, he doesn't look like a rookie player who has just participated in the draft.
"This Nangong Yu came to participate in this draft, which is really a dimensionality reduction blow to other singers." Whew
"He's really good."
"It's over, Nangong Yu has started this way, if there are no better songs than him in the future, it will be very boring."
Eventually, it was time to vote.
There were 100 judges on the scene, and 90 lights were lit.
In other words, Nangong Yu scored 90 points.
The score is mainly based on singing skills, of course, in order to support original singers, this show is still a bonus condition.
If the contestant sings an original song, he will get a certain amount of extra points, and if it is an excellent original song, then the bonus points will be even higher. Whew
Nangong Yu not only sang well, but also brought an excellent original song, so he received an excellent score of 90 points.
You must know that the scene is full of professionals in the field of music, and they are very discerning.
Being able to give Nangong Yu such a high score is not because of his father's face.
After getting a high score, Nangong Yu was still determined.
"Thank you."
He bowed calmly to the judges' bench and left the stage.
If you were the other players, you might be smiling from ear to ear at this point. Whew
But Nangong Yu still remained calm.
This shows his self-confidence and pride.
Maybe it's because the score is in his mental expectations, or maybe he feels like he deserves a high score.
After Nangong Yu left the stage, the game continued.
But the next players are a little more difficult.
With Nangong Yu playing so well in front, they were under a lot of pressure.
In such a comparison, the gap between Nangong Yu and these players is very obvious. Whew
"Sure enough, with such an excellent Nangong Yu in front of me as a comparison, these players suddenly seemed to be dark."
"Alas, it's boring, I guess I'll be interested in listening to the song next."
"Tormented ......"
The judges complained.
The draft is like this, once there are too good players in front of you.
When its brilliance is illuminated, the sparkle of the players behind it will be obscured.
A few hours passed. Whew
Some of the judges are already sleepy.
After all, it takes a few hours of concentration to keep it focused, which is a very draining thing.
From the very beginning, they will listen carefully to each song, and now, only the better songs will carefully analyze the lyrics and arrangement.
It is true that some of the players' results will suffer as a result.
When it was the turn of the 87th player to take the stage.
The judges saw a young man with long hair and a literary style walk onto the stage.
It was the first time for Xue Yang to appear on such a big stage, and he was extremely nervous. Whew
Every step was very difficult, and I was about to get to the center of the stage, but something unexpected happened.
Xue Yang's feet slipped and he accidentally fell to the ground.
The scene suddenly resounded with the laughter of the judges.
"Hahaha, this contestant is too funny, is he here to perform comedy?"
"Didn't you see, he just walked with the same hands and feet."
"Sure enough, I'm still young, I guess I was lucky to be chosen, and I don't seem to have any stage experience at all."
All in all, Xue Yang's appearance suddenly made the hundreds of judges in the audience sober up a lot. Whew
Not only did everyone laugh, but some people even concluded that Xue Yang's strength was very poor, and they didn't expect his performance.
It's all fun to watch.
Xue Yang got up from the stage with a red face, hurriedly walked to the center of the stage and stood up, constantly adjusting his breathing to calm his mood.
After all, you can't sing with a red face.
But I can't remember this kind of thing, and the more anxious I am, the more nervous I become.
At this time, the director wearing a cap who was staying under the stage was communicating with the staff.
At this time, not only the scene, but even the audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter. Whew
Such a funny scene simply brought a lot of laughter to the boring draft.
Even many people think that this is deliberately arranged by the program team.
After a long while, there was no music to play.
The judges in the audience were puzzled.
"Hey, why hasn't it started yet?"
"It seems to have been arranged by the director, and it is estimated that there will be some time for this young man to adjust."
"Yo, you can still have this preferential treatment, who is this person?" Whew
Everyone was puzzled and whispered in the audience.
At this time, Xue Yang had already adjusted his breathing.
The director in the audience nodded, and then gestured to the staff.
The accompaniment then sounded.
When the prelude sounded, the judges' seat, which had been whispering, suddenly fell silent.
The opening is a prelude to the compounding of multiple instruments, and it is easy to navigate without being cumbersome.
Strings collide with wind music. Whew
This arrangement is very interesting when you listen to it!
The judges in the audience immediately lifted their spirits.
Xue Yang was on stage, with his head down, holding the microphone in both hands, not knowing what he was thinking.
He may be nervous, or he may be trying to get into shape.
A prelude that has already aroused the curiosity of the judges.
Now what they are more curious about is Xue Yang's open voice.
Hopefully it won't be crossed. Whew
After a while, Xue Yang held the microphone in both hands, raised it, and then slowly opened his voice:
"It could be a lonely ......"
"The air is getting thinner......"
"The city is full of neon and desert ......"
When this voice appeared, the audience was in an uproar.
This voice...... Isn't it the No. 987 player who was popular before!
Many of the judges suddenly came to their senses. Whew
No wonder the director was so kind before, deliberately giving this seemingly inconspicuous contestant time to adjust his state.
It turned out to be a "big coffee"!
Xue Yang's singing on the stage, with the advancement of the song, is gradually getting better.
"Too deep, too much, love will go crazy......"
"Let you, free, spend your time in my misery......"
The shock of the judges was unsettled, and wave after wave.
It's hard to imagine that such a magnetic voice could come from the mouth of a young man. Whew
The contrast is striking.
At this time, Xue Yang seemed to have found the feeling of singing in a bar.
He is a dreamer, and because he has been failing, he has become inferior and has a lot of doubts about himself.
But at this moment, when singing, he is confident and happy.
Xue Yang raised his head so that everyone could see his face clearly.
That face that looks ordinary, but reveals perseverance.
At the same time, the climax part sounds: 娧
"This city is so empty......
"This memory is so fierce......"
"This street is full of traffic......
"Who can I hug ...... with?"
……
It is a small county town thousands of miles away from Kyoto.
Downstairs in the old community, a bunch of neighbors gathered who went downstairs to enjoy the shade after eating. Whew
Children are playing around.
Gentlemen play chess and poker.
The old ladies gathered together and chatted about the latest gossip.
The scene was a lot of fun.
Modern high-rise communities have rarely seen such a scene.
Don't talk about neighbors, you may not know anything about the neighbor's surname on the other side of the door.
Most of the communities that still maintain this phenomenon are old communities or demolished houses. Whew
"Yo yo yo, Sister Wang, your son is really promising, he earns hundreds of thousands a year by learning a computer, when will he find a daughter-in-law."
"That's it, I'm looking for a daughter-in-law instead, isn't the daughter of Chen Lao Er in our community a flight attendant, she is white and beautiful, and she is a good match for your family."
Listening to the praise of her son all around, Aunt Wang was very useful and waved her hand:
"Oh, I don't get involved in the affairs of young people, what does he like."
A few old ladies chatted about their children's current situation.
One of them suddenly looked at Aunt Xue, who was only smiling but not speaking, and asked curiously:
"Sister Xue, what is your son doing now, why have I never heard of you." Whew
As soon as these words came out, an old lady next to her hurriedly gave the speaker a look and signaled her not to talk nonsense.
Who doesn't know that Aunt Xue's son is drifting in the north, and he is not the kind that is famous, and he rarely goes home all year.
If you don't expose people's shortcomings, almost everyone will not take the initiative to pull Aunt Xue to talk about these topics.
"My son is in BJ."
Aunt Xue replied very simply, and smiled very reluctantly.
The man didn't know if it was deliberate, or if his brain was pumping, and he sighed:
"When Xiao Xue was learning music, I told you not to support him, we are all ordinary people, and it costs a lot of money to learn art, but you don't listen. Whew
Later, it was good for him to be a music teacher, but he had to go to BJ to pursue his music dream.
Xiao Xue is not young now, right? As a result, there is no car and no house.
You still have to talk to Xiao Xue, be pragmatic, celebrities are not so easy to be, there are more than one billion people in Xia Kingdom, how many stars can be produced?
It's not that material, it's better to come back to work early to save money and marry a daughter-in-law, which is the life that we ordinary people should live. ”
This aunt's conversation box opened and couldn't be contained at all, especially when the word "ordinary people" was spoken, it was even more accentuated.
It may seem like a kind reminder, but it is not kind to say it in such an educational tone.
The neighbors around could only sigh when they saw this. Whew
This aunt and Aunt Xue's family have a deep grudge.
The source of the contradiction is not a big deal either.
The community is a demolition house, and they are all demolition households from the countryside.
At the beginning, this aunt's family wanted to raise pigeons on the top floor, and later Aunt Xue's family said that this was occupying public resources and took the lead in opposing the aunt's family's approach.
Since then, this aunt has held a grudge against Aunt Xue's family.
There is no shortage of picks on weekdays.
If you find an opportunity today, you have to damage it even more. Whew
At this time, Aunt Xue's face was not good-looking, but she couldn't find anything to refute, so she had to smile bitterly: "Yes, I'll go back and talk to him." ”
She didn't want to argue with the other party, she just wanted to turn the page over the matter quickly.
For so many years, she and the child's father have been persuading Xue Yang to come back to work early, but Xue Yang is too persistent.
A while ago, my son told him that he had found a serious job at BJ and was still on probation.
This made her very happy.
But I didn't plan to say it, after all, my son's job hasn't settled yet.
At the beginning, the two spent a lot of money to support Xue Yang to learn art, and received the opposition of many relatives in the neighborhood. Whew
This has always been a knot in Aunt Xue's heart.
But now, she no longer fantasizes that her son can get ahead and get back the face that the whole family lost.
As a mother, she just wants her son to find a comforting job and live in peace.
As for the eyes of others, she has endured it for so many years, so it doesn't matter.
Although her son's suffering outside has never been mentioned for so many years, how can she not know?
Aunt Xue thought about it, and there was inevitably a hint of darkness in her eyes, and she could only smile bitterly in the end.
At this time, the aunts next to them were still accusing the aunt with their eyes. Whew
And the aunt didn't care about this, arrogantly crossed her arms, and didn't care at all about their pointing.
She just did it on purpose.
Besides, what she said is also true.
Who made the son of the old Xue family unproductive?
And yet at this very moment.
A young mother who took her son downstairs to play, but she was sitting on the side and watching the live broadcast with her mobile phone, exclaimed:
"Aunt Xue, come over and take a look, is this Xiao Xue!" Whew
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the people around them.
Aunt Xue walked over slowly, and several aunts beside her also followed curiously.
Young mom showing her phone screen to everyone.
Aunt Xue's eyes were not very good, and her eyes were empty.
When she saw a man with long hair who was singing, she was shocked.
The aunt who came forward next to her also exclaimed:
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Xue! I'm so familiar with his hairstyle! "Whew
A young mother holding a mobile phone turns off her Bluetooth headset at this time.
The singing voice came out of the small mobile phone.
"This city is so empty......
"This chest hurts so much......"
