After dinner, everyone walked to the nearby KTV.
This is the first time Xu Yiyang comes to KTV after his rebirth.
The KTV that Chen Meng ordered has a relatively high-end decoration. After entering, it feels no different from the KTVs of later generations.
As soon as they entered the private room, Zhao Xin and several other bedmates rushed to buy drinks, snacks and fruit plates, and soon the large coffee table was filled.
Xu Yiyang recalled that when he was in college in his previous life, he would occasionally go out to sing a song with his classmates. Several boys sang from beginning to end until their throats started to smoke, and they were reluctant to order a bottle of drink.
However, right now, he, his bedmate, and Shen Lele have a much stronger financial foundation than contemporary college students. Therefore, not only do they not feel too much pressure on such consumption, but they are all rushing to pay and buy things.
After getting ready to sing, everyone encouraged Xu Yiyang to sing first.
Xu Yiyang didn't refuse, so he ordered a Chinese song that Gu Sijia liked most in her previous life, "Midnight Serenade" by Hacken Li.
In KTV these days, the automatic song requesting system is very primitive, relying on a thick playlist and a huge remote control.
Each song has a fixed ID number. You must first find the singer on the playlist, then find the song, then find the ID number of the song, and then use the remote control to enter the ID number to complete the on-demand playback.
Xu Yiyang looked at the playlist and poked his finger at the remote control for a long time before finally clicking on the song.
He sings pretty well. Although he doesn't dare to compare with professionals, at least he can hold his own in KTV.
When singing in a KTV, the reverberation is turned on enough and there is a delay sound effect. Anyone with a good sense of rhythm and all five tones can sing well.
Gu Sijia was a little surprised when she saw Xu Yiyang ordered this song. This song was indeed quite famous, and more people ordered it in KTV, but she still found it incredible that Xu Yiyang ordered this song as soon as he came up.
This is one of my favorite songs, and it is also my favorite Chinese song. Xu Yiyang actually picked it as my favorite as soon as it came on. This coincidence is a bit too coincidental.
So, she subconsciously concentrated all her energy and listened to the prelude of the song silently.
Xu Yiyang looked at Gu Sijia quietly and saw her looking at the screen intently. He couldn't help but recall every bit of the two of them in their previous lives. He recalled how every time he went to KTV, she would sing this song to her, and he suddenly felt a little involved. , after the prelude was over, he actually didn’t follow.
So I could only say in embarrassment: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't keep up with the beat. Let's sing again and again."
No one took it seriously. Chen Meng took the remote control and pressed the replay button directly.
This time, Xu Yiyang did not dare to be distracted, but sang the song with concentration.
The song "Moonlight Serenade", like a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan classic songs of the year, is a cover of a Japanese pop song.
However, it is undeniable that a large number of cover works were very successful back then, such as this song by Hacken Lee, Rene Liu's "Later", Ren Xianqi's "Sad Pacific", etc.
Xu Yiyang's singing is very heartfelt, and it is indeed a bit amazing to everyone's ears. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Xu Yiyang has been singing this song for more than ten or twenty years. Both his voice and emotions are very proficient, so the effect of singing is Very good too.
After singing a few words, Gu Sijia's eyes sparkled. She had been caught by Xu Yiyang's voice and was immersed in it.
Tong Yuewei still had the standard nymphomaniacal face of a fan girl, her eyes kept staring at Xu Yiyang, reluctant to blink.
As for Shen Lele, she was similar to Gu Sijia. Her attention was attracted by Xu Yiyang's singing. Although she was also surprised, compared to the many shocks Xu Yiyang gave her, this was nothing.
After singing the song, there were some ripples in Gu Sijia's heart.
She couldn't help but secretly think in her heart that for some reason, Xu Yiyang always released a strong attraction in various aspects. After listening to him sing this song, her affection for him deep down in her heart was sublimated again. a bit.
She felt more and more that she and Xu Yiyang should have an indescribable fate, as if the two had known each other in a previous life.
When I came to China Overseas for an interview, I met him when I was most nervous. It was his words that helped me dispel my doubts and unconfidence, and even "spoiled" me a standard answer in advance.
Later, by chance, the two of them were assigned to the same class. The School of English had the largest number of freshmen at COOIC. With so many students and so many classes, being able to be assigned to the same class can only be described as fate.
And his behavior style and way of speaking are all in line with my highest expectations for men, and even exceed these expectations.
Moreover, his taste in food is highly consistent with his own.
What's even more amazing is that you can even sing your favorite song right away.
If Tong Yuewei hadn't fallen in love with him first, she would have even felt that he was the other half tailor-made for her by God.
Thinking of this, Gu Sijia felt very disappointed.
At this time, everyone had already started to encourage Shen Lele to sing a song. Chen Meng simply asked Shen Lele directly: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to sing? I'll give you some!"
"sister in law?"
As soon as Tong Yuewei heard Chen Meng's name for Shen Lele, her expression immediately became very aggrieved and depressed.
So he whispered in Gu Sijia's ear and asked, "Are Xu Yiyang and Shen Lele together?"
Gu Sijia whispered: "Probably not."
Tong Yuewei asked: "Then why do they call Shen Lele sister-in-law?"
Gu Sijia said: "I don't know about others, but Chen Meng has always called her that. It's probably a joke between the few of them, after all, they play so well."
"Okay." Tong Yuewei breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Shen Lele's acting style is quite generous. Since everyone encouraged her to sing, she simply agreed and said, "Then please order me a copy of Zhang Huimei's "Bad Boy" and I'll see if I can sing it." , if I can, I will sign up for this song. If I can’t sing it, then I won’t sign up for the show.”
Chen Meng immediately made an OK gesture, held the playlist, and found the ID number of the song.
Zhang Huimei's song "Bad Boy" can be said to be her masterpiece among her masterpieces.
This song was specially tailored for her by Zhang Yusheng. The lyrics and music are both written by Zhang Yusheng. It is also one of the classics in the Chinese music scene.
The song was still very popular at that time, the rhythm is very strong when it comes up, and the style of the whole song is relatively wild, which is difficult for ordinary female voices to control, especially those who sing softly and like to sing Liang Jingru as soon as they enter the KTV. It is difficult for a girl to control the style of this kind of song.
If you don't feel "wild" when singing this song, your feeling will be greatly reduced immediately.
It's like singing Faye Wong's "Boring". If you want to sing like her, you have to have that cunning feeling.
Therefore, Xu Yiyang didn't know whether Shen Lele could sing this kind of song well.
However, when Shen Lele opened her voice, he realized that all his worries were unnecessary.
Shen Lele's singing voice is very aura and powerful. As soon as she opens her mouth, she can reach 80% or even 90% of Zhang Huimei's singing voice, which shocked everyone present.
She just sang the first verse, "You're saying I don't want to leave, you're saying I don't want to leave, you're saying I'll never let go." The guys who were sleeping with her immediately clapped and applauded.
Gu Sijia and Tong Yuewei were also very surprised. They really didn't expect that everyone was a KTV player, so how could a "professional level" suddenly come up? As soon as he opened his voice, he immediately opened up a gap with everyone else. Even Xu Yiyang was far behind.
Xu Yiyang was so shocked when he heard her singing halfway through. If Shen Lele really performed such a song in front of all the teachers and students in the school, the atmosphere would be really explosive!
Moreover, when performing this kind of song live, it is best not to sing it alone.
It would be best to have a professional hot dance team to dance with her and let her stand in the C position and start singing. In that case, the scene will definitely feel more exciting!
Therefore, Xu Yiyang has made up his mind at this moment. He will go out to find a professional backup dancer team for her tomorrow. He will spend his own money to hire a backup dancer team for her, and he must give her a good performance that will amaze everyone.
When Shen Lele sang the last "Bye-Bye-Bye-Bye-Bye-Bye", several boys stood up and applauded excitedly.
Xu Yiyang is forty years old, and he can't hold back his excitement. He has been in KTV for many years, but he has never heard of anyone who can sing this song so tastefully. It is perfect.
So, after Shen Lele finished singing, he immediately said: "Lele, your singing is so awesome! Impeccable!"
Shen Lele asked with a smile: "Really? Am I good at singing?"
"That's great!" Xu Yiyang gave a thumbs up and said seriously: "I will find a dance team for you tomorrow. When the time comes, there will be a singing and dancing performance, which will definitely blow the whole school's teachers and students off their feet."
Shen Lele said: "Don't have to go to such trouble, right?"
Xu Yiyang said: "No, no, the bigger the show, the better. It would be best to find a band to rearrange the song, weaken the electronic music part, and then add some heavy metal to create a rock version. "
"Rock version?" Shen Lele asked in surprise: "What does that feel like?"
Xu Yiyang asked her: "Have you heard of Joan Jett? She is the aunt who sang "I Hate Myself For Loving You"."
Shen Lele shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."
Xu Yiyang asked again: "You haven't heard the song yet?"
Shen Lele still shook her head: "I've never heard of the song..."
Xu Yiyang thought for a while and said, "Have you heard of Andy Lau's "I Hate My Infatuation"?"
Shen Lele nodded and said, "I've heard of this before."
Xu Yiyang said: "'I Hate My Infatuation' is the song I translated. The lyrics are different and the arrangement is slightly different, but the melody is the same."
Shen Lele said: "The song "I Hate My Infatuation" seems to be quite rock and roll. Do you want me to sing "Bad Boy" in that style?"
"Yes!" Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "Actually, the original English version of this song has a more rock-oriented arrangement than the version sung by Andy Lau, and the guitar tone in it is also more metallic. When it comes to the version sung by Andy Lau, The metallic taste has been weakened a lot, and the guitar tone is more plastic.”
"I guess it may be that the Hong Kong music scene was not used to the feeling of heavy metal at that time, or the Hong Kong musicians at that time could not produce such a pure metal taste, so the overall trend was a little more popular. Looking back, I will see if there are any reliable rock bands in Zhonghai , let them re-arrange and re-record a version of "Bad Boy" with a heavier rock flavor, so that the live performance will be better."
Shen Lele asked: "You don't have to go to such trouble, right? Everyone seems to sing with accompaniment. Now you have to find a backup dancer and re-record the accompaniment. The cost is also very high..."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it. I'll make the arrangements. Either we don't act, or if we want to act, we'll act as best we can."
