West Lake City.
Inside a student dormitory on Zhejiang University campus.
Yu Jingruo was sitting on the sofa in the small living room wearing beige pajamas, hugging her legs tightly with her hands, and looking at the TV screen with slightly hazy eyes.
Next to me sat my only roommate, who was also a graduate student from another school. She was also wearing pink pajamas and holding a notebook. She was writing something on the notebook while watching the TV. Then she put the notebook down, looked at the TV carefully, and asked softly, "Jing Ruo, Professor Wang and Senior Liu Ruonan's singing was so touching. When they looked at each other, I felt touched. It's amazing!"
Yu Jingruo just nodded, then gently wiped the corners of his eyes without saying anything.
Soft and simple guitar music started playing.
The nostalgic and sad atmosphere instantly emerged.
Wang Qian's clear, mellow voice with a mature and sentimental tone appeared.
"Give you a CD from the past."
"Listen to our love back then."
“Sometimes I forget.”
"I'm still in love with you..."
The voice went straight into the minds of Yu Jingruo and the other person. Yu Jingruo couldn't help but let the tears flow down her cheeks. She quickly buried her face in her hands, leaving only a pair of red eyes that were still shedding tears, and she vaguely looked at the figure on the screen on TV.
The roommate also fell silent and stared at the TV screen motionlessly.
Liu Ruonan's voice appeared.
“I can’t sing songs like that anymore.”
"When I hear it, I blush and hide away."
“Although I often forget.”
"I still love you..."
Liu Ruonan's voice seemed to come from the sky, ethereal with a hint of sadness, extremely full of emotions, and a slight trembling feeling as if she would cry at any time, which made people feel heartbroken when they heard it.
The roommate couldn't help it either, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, he quickly took a tissue to wipe them, and then forced himself to remain calm.
"Jing Ruo, they both sang so passionately, it was so touching! How can a song be so touching?"
The roommate spoke in a low voice with a slight crying tone, staring at the TV screen with red eyes without blinking!
Yu Jingruo hummed and said nothing, but just stared at the TV screen, looking at Wang Qian, a strong impulse growing in his heart.
…
Baojia Street Band.
Ru Ke and the other four were also watching the TV screen very quietly at this moment, and everyone pricked up their ears.
After just a few words, everyone's eyes were red.
Who hasn't clicked yet
Even if you have never been in a relationship, who doesn’t have memories of ambiguous secret crush
Yang Zixuan sniffed and said softly, "Professor Wang's song is so tear-jerking."
The voice was choked.
The others all nodded at the same time.
However, Ru Ke said: "They sang so well and performed so deeply. Their emotional expressions were very accurate, and their voices were full of the emotions of the song. In this respect, they were better than Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang just now."
None of them spoke, but nodded in approval.
Liu Shengnan's gentle, ethereal voice, full of nostalgia and sadness, burst out again.
Liu Shengnan: "Because of love, I won't be sad easily."
On the TV screen, the two people slowly approached each other, their eyes met, and the emotions in their eyes were almost too strong to be dissolved.
Wang Qian: "So everything looks happy."
Liu Shengnan: "Because of love, we grow simply."
Wang Qian: "I can still go crazy for you at any time..."
Liu Shengnan: "Because of love, how can there be vicissitudes."
Wang Qian: “So we still look young.”
Liu Shengnan: "Because of love, in that place."
Wang Qian: "There are still people wandering there."
The two of them were almost touching on the stage, and they sang softly together.
“People coming and going!”
The end of a paragraph.
However, the singing of the two continued to echo in the ears and hearts of several people.
Xiong Jia wiped his eyes and said nothing.
Yan Ru praised: "The singing of these two people is really catchy and touching. This song does not have too many changes and showmanship, it is just simple lyrical! This is the best test of singing ability. The simpler it is, the harder it is to sing well. Professor Wang and Liu Shengnan expressed the emotion of this song perfectly. The emotion almost rushed out of the TV. I almost cried."
Yang Zixuan nodded: "Yes, these two are really a great combination. Professor Wang didn't even show off his skills in this song, and Liu Shengnan also showed her strength. If it weren't for Qin Xuerong, I would have thought that Liu Shengnan and Professor Wang were a couple. These two acted so realistically..."
Ru Ke stared at the two people on the screen without blinking, without saying a word, but her expression remained calm.
…
Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang, who were standing at the stage entrance, also remained silent at this moment.
The two of them feel it more directly and deeply here!
original…
After the performance, Hu Wenjiang thought he had secured victory because he and Chen Xiaowen felt that their performances were perfect.
He didn't believe that Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan could beat their perfect performance.
but…
Now, there was a hint of shock and a hint of uneasiness in Hu Wenjiang's eyes.
Because, as a professional and powerful singer, he can feel the slight gap between his and Chen Xiaowen's performances and the other two.
In terms of pure singing skills, there is almost no difference. The two performances are equally good and there is no flaw to be found in either.
but.
In terms of the emotional expression and appeal of the song.
Hu Wenjiang felt that there was a big gap between them.
After all, this was the first time he and Chen Xiaowen worked together, and they were not familiar with each other before, or even knew each other at all, and they had only been rehearsing for a week.
Therefore, they were able to sing the song itself flawlessly.
At the beginning, the two of them were still not so compatible in terms of emotional coordination.
Although, the expression of their songs is clear enough for many people to be involved in them and not feel the flaws in their lack of tacit understanding.
However, only by comparison can we know the gap and cause hurt!
Compare them with Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan now.
The difference is obvious. The two of them cooperate with each other so well that they seem like an old couple who have been living in love for many years.
Hu Wenjiang was somewhat shocked.
Chen Xiaowen was just purely appreciative, looking at Liu Shengnan with a hint of longing and envy in her eyes.
She wanted to sing this song in duet with Wang Qian instead of Liu Shengnan.
She had never been in a relationship nor had she ever liked anyone, so although she could understand and relate to the emotions of the song, she was not moved to tears. She just watched the two people singing with appreciation, and she admired them for being able to perform the song so deeply.
The strong emotion allowed her, who had no idea what love and liking felt like, to feel it clearly.
sharp!
Chen Xiaowen praised in her heart.
However, she thought that it would not be bad if she cooperated with Wang Qian.
It's a pity that she didn't have the chance.
The singing is floating!
Simple music plays slowly.
Liu Shengnan's cheeks flushed slightly as she sang softly.
"I can't sing songs like that anymore. I will blush and hide away when I hear them."
“Although I often forget.”
Wang Qian sang along, "I still love you!"
Liu Shengnan took a step forward and stood in front of Wang Qian. She looked at Wang Qian with eyes that seemed to drown him. She couldn't help but gently reach out her hand to Wang Qian while continuing to sing, "Because of love, I won't be sad easily!"
Liu Shengnan's voice trembled slightly more obviously.
It seems sad, it seems sorrowful.
In fact, it was her inner anxiety.
At this moment, she was afraid that Wang Qian would reject her.
Wang Qian looked at Liu Shengnan's eyes and couldn't help being melted by the emotions in Liu Shengnan's eyes in the mood of the song. Then he couldn't help but reach out and hold Liu Shengnan's slender hand, which was a little hard and rough due to years of practicing musical instruments. Then he gently squeezed it and sang along: "So everything looks happy."
The two held hands and faced the camera.
Liu Shengnan couldn't help but smile. She felt so happy that she was like being deeply immersed in the mood of the song and Wang Qian's hands. "Because of love, we grow up simply."
Wang Qian: "I can still go crazy for you at any time."
Liu Shengnan: "Because of love, how can there be vicissitudes."
Wang Qian: “So we still look young.”
Liu Shengnan: "Because of love, in that place."
Wang Qian: "There are still people wandering there."
Wang Qian saw Qin Xuerong looking at him not far away, smiled, and then tried to pull away his hand from Liu Shengnan, but found that Liu Shengnan was holding it tightly and he couldn't pull it away.
So many people are watching.
Wang Qian could only naturally let Liu Shengnan hold his hand and continue singing with all his heart.
They sang together: "People come and go!"
There was a brief pause.
Liu Shengnan also saw Qin Xuerong not far away, and immediately came to her senses. She smiled and nodded at Qin Xuerong, then gently let go of Wang Qian's hand.
Everything happened naturally and smoothly.
It was as if the two of them were holding hands just to interpret the mood of the song.
Now the two people's performance is about to end.
So, we separated.
Wang Qian sang softly: "I'll give you a CD from the past, so you can listen to our love back then."
Liu Shengnan: “Sometimes I suddenly forget.”
The two finally sang together a soulful and melodious song: "I'm still in love... with you..."
The song ends.
The scene was still extremely quiet.
The four mentors all straightened up and stared at Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan.
Thousands of audience members were staring at Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan, as if they were still immersed in the mood of the song.
The host Daji, who was standing at the entrance not far away, forgot to go on stage immediately.
The members of the director team stood in front of the camera and forgot to direct the scene...
All the viewers in front of the TV did not wake up immediately at this moment.
…
Li Qingyao sat on the sofa, stroking her wedding photo with Wang Qian with one hand, and wiping her eyes with a tissue. The carpet next to her was littered with tissues.
Even though the song is over.
However, Li Qingyao did not stop her movements, nor did she stop sobbing. She was still lost in her memories, her eyes were red from crying, and the pain and regret in her heart were incomprehensible to others.
…
Yu Jingruo wiped his eyes, then went to the bathroom to wash his face, then quickly put on a coat and went out, still wearing simple beige pajamas underneath.
The roommate was startled and quickly shouted, "Jingruo, where are you going? It's so late!"
Yu Jingruo: "I have something to do. I will be back soon. It's a little late. Don't lock the door."
The roommate stared blankly at the still open door, then quickly rushed out and shouted, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"Need not!"
Yu Jingruo has disappeared.
The roommate closed the door helplessly, and was relieved to see that Yu Jingruo's phone was not left behind. He could still contact him by phone if there was anything.
…
Zhou Qinghua was the first to wake up.
After all, he was a director, knowledgeable and emotionally stable, so he came to his senses after ten seconds.
Although Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan had already bowed to express their gratitude, the scene remained quiet.
Zhou Qinghua immediately picked up the intercom and whispered, "Daji, hurry up, hurry up, don't let it become a dull moment. People in the atmosphere group in the audience, don't just stand there, applaud immediately..."
The scene immediately became active.
No longer a quiet still picture.
The host Daji was quickly awakened by the sound of the headset and immediately strode up, but he first wiped his eyes and then rubbed his face to make himself look more energetic and less sad, then put on a smile and walked quickly towards the stage.
The atmosphere group placed in the audience by the program team was also immediately awakened. More than a dozen people in the middle and several corners stood up immediately and applauded wildly, wiping their eyes while clapping.
Then, the whole scene suddenly came alive.
All the audience were awakened and stood up and applauded.
The four mentors also stood up and applauded Wang Qian.
Yu Jingruo was more emotional. She also clapped while gently wiping her eyes, being very careful not to ruin her makeup.
Snap, snap, snap…
The scene was extremely quiet just now.
Suddenly there was thunderous applause.
Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan bowed to everyone again to express their gratitude.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin all bowed again to thank everyone for their applause. They stood behind Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan, quietly playing supporting roles.
The host Daji walked up quickly and came to the side of Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan. He did not speak immediately, but enjoyed the warm applause from thousands of people below.
Snap, snap, snap…
But…
The applause lasted longer than the host and the program crew expected.
Thirty seconds and it hasn't stopped yet.
One minute!
Still no sign of stopping.
One and a half minutes!
Still going.
Two minutes...
Everyone was still applauding, and the applause showed no sign of weakening at all, and was still as enthusiastic as at the beginning.
The four mentors were still standing and applauding, their eyes all looking at Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan.
The program team must take action.
The applause could not be allowed to continue.
Zhou Qinghua said: "Daji, say something to attract everyone's attention. The atmosphere group starts to cool down..."
Daji immediately said, "The applause is so warm and long-lasting. Professor Wang and Liu Shengnan are indeed a king-bomb combination. As expected, they conquered everyone as soon as they appeared on stage. However, everyone must be tired after clapping for so long. Let's take a break. Let me interview Professor Wang and Liu Shengnan first."
A dozen people in the atmosphere group in the audience stopped clapping and sat down one after another. Influenced by this, the others also calmed down. Soon the applause stopped and everyone sat down one after another.
The four mentors also stopped clapping and sat in their chairs. Like all the audience, they looked at Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan with sharp eyes, their expressions somewhat gloomy and sad.
Wang Jingyu couldn't help but speak first: "In the past ten years, I haven't cried because of a song. Today is the first time I cried while listening to a song in ten years. Professor Wang, Liu Shengnan, your singing was so emotional that even I was moved to tears. This song is not difficult in terms of singing technique, but it has a sense of returning to nature. Every word of the lyrics seems to touch my heart, and every note seems to be a memory."
"Of course, the most important thing is the collaboration between the two of you. It was really perfect. I never thought that two people could sing a song to this level. Just now, I thought Xiaowen and Lao Hu's performance was perfect."
"Now, I want to take back what I just said. Although I am Xiaowen's mentor, I still want to tell the truth. They are quite different from you in terms of emotional expression. Although, in terms of singing skills, you are all similar, both are powerful singers, and the rhythm coordination is perfect. However, in terms of the expression of the emotions of the song, you and Liu Shengnan are truly perfect, and they are a little bit behind."
"If I didn't know Xuerong and saw Xuerong watching from the sidelines, I would have almost thought that you and Shengnan were in love."
Wang Jingyu said a lot in one breath because she was deeply touched and recalled many memories from the past.
Finally, she made a joke.
There were some laughs as well.
The program crew could also focus the camera on Qin Xuerong who was standing in the audience.
Qin Xuerong stood there gracefully, smiled at the camera and waved gently. Her calm, elegant and confident temperament was not inferior to Liu Shengnan on the stage.
Liu Shengnan on the stage also smiled at Qin Xuerong.
Applause broke out again.
This is a gift from everyone to Qin Xuerong.
Everyone knows about Qin Xuerong's existence and that she is Wang Qian's girlfriend.
Therefore, everyone recognized her very much.
However, Qin Xuerong's image has not spread widely on the Internet.
Previously, several self-media outlets used photos of Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong taken in Shanghai to hype the photos, but they soon disappeared. The photos were not spread, and there was no hype. Several self-media accounts disappeared.
Other self-media outlets all smelled something, so they never hyped Qin Xuerong. If they wanted to hype someone, they would use Wang Qian's songs and classes. No one focused their hype on Qin Xuerong anymore.
but…
Qin Xuerong appeared on TV today with such high ratings.
There will definitely be a lot of reports about her later.
And Wang Jingyu also expressed the feelings of almost everyone.
Just now when Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan were singing, the rich emotions were everywhere.
That's the smell of damn love.
The two of them were like a couple deeply in love.
Until the performance is over.
The emotions between the two slowly dissipated.
Now the two of them are still standing on the stage together, but there is a sense of distance between them, as if they are just ordinary friends.
Wang Jingyu finished speaking.
Cui Wenfeng also continued, "Jingyu said it very well. This is how I feel. In fact, when you, Wang Qian, said that you would not sing rock this time, I was a little disappointed. I look forward to your rock more and like it more. However, you and Shengnan sang the song Because of Love so well. You conquered me with the purest singing. There was no showmanship, no restless rhythm, just simple singing!"
“This time it’s really about the essence of music, which is to express the most essential emotions and go straight to the heart.”
Wang Qian said to Wang Jingyu and Cui Wenfeng: "Thank you Sister Yu and Brother Feng for your love and support. You are too kind."
Qin Han said: "No, they didn't give me an award. This is the truth. I just want to tell you guys to upload the song quickly. I want to download it and play it on repeat!"
Qin Han's words livened up the atmosphere and many people in the audience laughed.
Sometimes Qin Han's sudden humor is really interesting, and it's possible that it will become a hot topic after the show ends.
Liu Junhua clapped his hands and said, "Lao Qin is right, upload it quickly. We are all fans now and we all want to hear this song first."
Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan smiled at each other, and then said almost at the same time: "Thank you..."
Daji finally got the chance to speak: "Okay, let me interview you two. Professor Wang, Shengnan, is this your first collaboration?"
Wang Qian nodded: "Of course, this is our first cooperation!"
Liu Shengnan also nodded slightly.
Daji continued, "You only have one week to rehearse, right?"
Liu Shengnan said, "Yes, I came to Xihu City right away when I received Professor Wang's invitation, because I was afraid that I would not have enough time to rehearse."
Daji asked curiously, "How did you manage to sing with such tacit understanding and emotion in such a short time?"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "This is a reflection of strength and talent. Xiaowen and Teacher Hu only had one week, but they sang well."
Wang Qian happened to see Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang standing at the entrance looking at him, so he immediately took the opportunity to praise them.
He truly has admiration for Chen Xiaowen and Liu Shengnan, both of whom are true geniuses.
Chen Xiaowen smiled at Wang Qian and said nothing.
Hu Wenjiang smiled awkwardly, as he felt that his singing was not as good as Wang Qian's.
Murong Yue, who was standing behind Wang Qian, suddenly said softly, "In fact, they didn't rehearse for long."
This sentence was heard by everyone.
Daji immediately changed the interview subject and asked Murong Yue, "Xiaoyue, you said they didn't rehearse for a long time? What do you mean?"
Murong Yue smiled sweetly at Wang Qian, and then said, "I mean, they only sing once or twice a day to maintain their form, so they don't actually rehearse for long. I think they are both born singers. When they sing, they can quickly grasp the rhythm, the mood and emotions, and then sing it perfectly."
Daji looked at Jiang Yu again and asked, "Jiang Yu, is what Xiaoyue said true?"
Jiang Yu nodded and said "hmm" without saying anything. He glanced at Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan.
Daji turned around and looked at Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan: "Professor Wang, Shengnan, so, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue both said that you didn't practice for a long time, right?"
Zhao Wei and He Fulin's faces froze for a moment. Are we two invisible
Why doesn't anyone seem to see us
Wang Qian smiled and said, “Practicing twice a day is already a lot.”
The scene was quiet again.
The smiles on the faces of the four mentors froze.
The host Daji's hand holding the microphone also shook.
They are all insiders and they all know very well how hard it is for a truly professional singer to practice a song.
Those new and popular singers don't count, because they are not that serious.
For example, Cui Wenfeng and others need a month or so to practice a new song. If everything goes well, it would be great if they can complete the recording in a month or so.
If things don’t go well, it’s not uncommon to take a month or two to complete the recording of a song!
so…
Those singers who take album production seriously and release one album a year are considered very productive. It takes more than half a year to record an album and another half a year to release and promote it. There is no time to rest.
Of course, there are also those who record faster and can produce an album in one or two months.
After all, that is a very small number!
but…
Even for this extremely small number of people, it takes several days to record a song, and they have to sing and record non-stop day after day to keep finding the feeling and the state.
Instead of just singing it once or twice a day like Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan.
When recording songs in the recording studio, they are recorded almost word for word. For post-production editing, the best and most emotional time among the singers will be selected and one or several sentences will be edited out. Other sentences will be edited out from other singing times. It is even possible to edit out one or two words from one singing. Finally, they are combined together to form a complete song and recorded into the album!
After singing it once, all of it can be recorded into the album at the end, without the need for post-production.
Almost none!
perhaps.
Liu Shengnan is one of them.
Because, in the several albums released by Liu Shengnan, most of the songs were recorded in one go, without any post-production editing or splicing. A very small number of songs were edited in post-production, but not word for word, but rather large sections of editing and splicing in two or three performances.
This is a reflection of a singer's strength and talent.
So, under everyone's quiet gaze.
Liu Shengnan said: "Well, I think twice a day is enough. We chat more and discuss music together, maybe this is what makes our cooperation more perfect. Only when we understand each other's music and attitude better can we cooperate more tacitly, because we know each other's music."
Applause rang out again!
This time, the four mentors stood up first and applauded together.
Because no one else could quite understand what Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan were trying to express.
However, the four mentors, as top professionals in the industry, understood very well what they were talking about, so they understood the difficulty even more, and admired, appreciated, and envied the talents of these two people even more!
This is not just a gift from the ancestors.
Instead, the Grand Master put the food directly into their stomachs.
You don’t need to eat it yourself...
Just fill you up.
Even more.
It can be said that the ancestor planted several acres of rice in the stomachs of these two people.
Let them never go hungry.
God just loves these two people so much.
The hardware talents such as voice are so good.
Passive talents such as musical talent and musical literacy are also extremely good.
It makes every singer envious and jealous.
Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang, who were still standing at the entrance, also applauded.
Chen Xiaowen remained calm. There was no envy or jealousy in her eyes when she looked at Liu Shengnan, because she believed that her talent and strength were no less than Liu Shengnan's, and if she worked with Wang Qian, she would not be any worse.
However, she would not compare herself with Wang Qian.
Because she felt she was unworthy!
Hu Wenjiang, on the other hand, felt a little ashamed of himself. He couldn't achieve the same level as Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan, and was still far behind.
Four people on stage.
He is indeed the clown.
Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan bowed gently to the four mentors and everyone who was applauding.
The host Daji smiled and said, "Well, it seems that Professor Wang and Shengnan have really conquered everyone. Now let's see what scores the four mentors will give them."
