This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 181 This is called not turning back
The first tune of this song starts very, very high!

Moreover, there were all kinds of rapid changes in key, and a long list of lyrics that needed to be sung in one breath... just listening to them, the students felt like they were suffocating.

Although this song may not sound as good as the previous ones, the singing skills are indeed at their best.

Zhou Yanliu stood on the stage and used her voice to express a fact to everyone - her strength had not declined at all after her return.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"That Zhou Yanliu is finally back!"

"This song is awesome, this is Zhou Yanliu."

“Sounds great!!!”

"I wonder if there is some inside story behind Zhou Yanliu's scandal? Could it be a misunderstanding, or someone has slandered her?"

"Speaking of which, this song is so difficult. Zhou Yanliu can sing it herself, but what should we do when the students want to sing it? Have you ever thought about this problem?"

"Look at this performance, it seems that the other mentor didn't come up to perform."

"I also want to ask, what should the students do?"

"Didn't Xu Feng's song have the same problem last time... Why did Zhou Yanliu knowingly commit the same crime?"

"I give up. Can't the students not blame the instructor if they can't sing well? It's the same song, but you can't sing it well while others can. Can't you reflect on your own problems?"

"Teacher Zhou Yanliu sang so well, could you please not mention irrelevant people?"

"It's great that they can give you such a good singing example. Don't ask for too much. This is just a variety show. The mentors are not the students' parents."

"Tsk, last time Xu Feng performed, I saw something online that said something different."

"It's fine as long as it sounds good, why bother so much?"

Some people even started screaming and calling Zhou Yanliu's name loudly.

"..."

The students who listened to the song for the first time did not look like the audience.

This song... is too difficult!
The first group was able to perform so well in the first round and get a good ranking, thanks in large part to the excellent song selection.

Not only does it sound good, it also allows students, who are singers of a lower level, to fully demonstrate their abilities.

But what happened this time?
"What the hell?!"

"How are we going to sing this song?"

"Oh, I'm not surprised at all."

"Is such that."

"Be prepared. We may not be able to keep this dormitory."

"..."

With Xu Feng's previous experience as a lesson, all mentors should be aware of one thing - the songs they give to students should not be too difficult.

As the winner of the previous round, Zhou Yanliu should be more aware of this matter.

Why did you choose such a difficult song in the second round?
Judging from the results of the group competition just now, the students in Xu Feng's group were not bad in level, but because they were unable to handle the songs chosen by the instructor, they ended up with a very average ranking.

If it weren't for the fact that "A Song Not Written for Anybody" is good in itself, this ranking might be even lower.

However, Zhou Yanliu's song actually sounds quite ordinary.

It's all supported by various showmanship.

Xu Feng’s song is at least nice to listen to. Even if he didn’t sing it well, this factor will be taken into consideration when giving the final score.

But if Zhou Yanliu's singing skills are not up to standard, the result of her singing would be really like "scrap metal"!
It can never be saved!
Why did Zhou Yanliu suddenly abandon her previous successful experience? Why did she make the same mistake that Xu Feng made?
Is it just to prove your strength?

However, the instructor's choice of songs cannot be changed, so no matter how many doubts the students have in their minds, they can only keep them to themselves.

Several students who were ranked higher and had received A grades even began to consider leaving the team.

In the past, the team environment and atmosphere were not good, but the students with good grades and top rankings would still endure it.

But if they can't even hold up their only achievement, many people will really not want to stay.

There are only a few reasons to follow a mentor and join the mentor's team.

Either you like this mentor, or you want to follow this mentor and stay in this group until the end.

Either the group is very strong, and by joining this group you can easily get a good ranking and gain more exposure.

Either it has emotional value, it’s fun to sing and film variety shows in this group, and the group members are all very friendly.

Zhou Yanliu's group only has results, and once the students, especially the stronger ones, find out that their group can't even maintain their results, it's not surprising that they have all kinds of thoughts.

"..."

On the stage, Zhou Yanliu's performance ended quickly.

The spotlights gradually faded away, and the light returned to the stage again, and applause broke out at the same time.

The host walked onto the stage and praised with a smile: "Teacher Zhou Yanliu has demonstrated her strong and superb level. She is worthy of being a mentor."

Lei Zhihui, who was responsible for music production and did not participate in the chorus this time, paved the way for Zhou Yanliu and also walked onto the stage.

But the expression on his face was not very good.

To be honest, if it weren't for the company's arrangement, he would have wanted to quit at this moment.

Zhou Yanliu didn't say much: "It's OK."

The host asked again: "Why did Teacher Zhou Yanliu suddenly perform such a difficult song this time? Aren't you worried that the students won't be able to sing well?"

Their program team has already received the song that Xu Feng is going to sing backstage.

Xu Feng learned from the last lesson!
Why doesn't Zhou Yanliu develop her own strengths, but instead learns from others' failures?

Of course, the host didn't ask these questions - because judging from Zhou Yanliu's own performance, the result of this singing was still very good.

Zhou Yanliu had obviously prepared for this question. She said calmly, "I think it's not a normal mentality to avoid something you don't know."

“Singing is something that needs improvement and learning. We can’t always stay in our comfort zone.”

"I think my team members and my team need such enterprising singers."

“Challenging high difficulty is what a singer should do.”

"..."

The host wanted to laugh a little, but nodded anyway: "Thank you, Teacher Zhou Yanliu, for your wonderful performance. Thank you. Let us welcome the next instructor. Please come on stage!"

Zhou Yanliu's words seemed flawless, as if she was really considering the students and seemed to make some sense.

But if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is all nonsense. There are natural differences between people. There are things they are good at and things they are not good at.

It is unreasonable to force art students to fight in wars and physicists to do archaeology, and even call it a challenge.

In the music industry, it is a consensus that male singers are relatively more suitable for low notes, while female singers are relatively better at singing high notes. This is determined by innate factors.

What you should do is find your strengths and play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, instead of insisting on doing things you are totally not good at.

Many singers are not unwilling to work hard, but just don’t want to rush in the wrong direction.

There are songs that they can sing well, and everyone has different development directions. What's the point of forcing them to develop in the direction of high notes? What's the point?

"It seems that Teacher Xiaobai doesn't quite agree with Zhou Yanliu's point of view." Xu Feng sat in the guest seats and glanced at the big screen that was counting the scores.

"Well... I said I admire Mr. Xu Feng's ability to foresee things, do you believe it? Zhou Yanliu actually didn't care about anything and insisted on singing such a difficult song."

Xu Feng glanced at Cheng Luan's gloating expression and nodded slightly: "She is completely planning to turn this variety show into a stage for herself to be exposed. It seems that she doesn't care about other people, even her mentor partner."

"The final score was 91 points, which was not unexpected. The technical scores were all very high. The song selection score was okay because of the singing skills, but it was still a drag."

"..."

"Teacher Xu Feng, even though this instructor is only a second-tier star, two of his works are really good. I have studied them specifically."

"..."

"Although this person is a top star, I think the hype is greater than his ability. It's because the whole team is good enough, the songs and lyrics are good, and the lead singer's credit is not that big."

"..."

"And this teacher... Unfortunately, in order to be fair, the program team made the scoring mechanism for the songs more mechanical."

After each conclusion, Bai Yao would list a lot of professional knowledge and use various examples to explain it with great enthusiasm.

After commenting on several singers, Xu Feng suddenly asked, "Teacher Xiaobai's theory is very solid, so what do you think of Sister Huan?"

"Sister Huan is amazing. She can sing, write lyrics and compose music. She's a bit of a hexagonal warrior. Maybe the only shortcoming that's not a shortcoming is that she's not particularly proficient in playing musical instruments?"

"And me?"

"Teacher Xu Feng, Teacher Xu Feng is a little complicated." Bai Yao sighed, "Because it's hard for someone to act so well... Because most singers can't imagine what problems people with bad singing will encounter, but Teacher Xu Feng can imitate it vividly."

"This may mean that Teacher Xu Feng's realm is really high?"

The songs that Xu Feng sang randomly really left a deep impression on Bai Yao.

As for other attributes, Bai Yao did not comment.

Although his theoretical level is not very good, there is no need to say more about how high his level is.

Xu Feng continued to ask: "What about Teacher Xiaobai, how do you evaluate yourself?"

"Haha, if you're new, just practice more? I can only ask Teacher Xu Feng to guide me more?"

To be honest, Bai Yao's level is not bad - under her guidance, many students in the group have changed their previous bad habits of unscientific singing and are truly on the right track.

It can be said that in terms of progress, Xu Feng and Bai Yao are definitely the members of the group that have made the fastest progress.

"..."

After a few jokes, the teachers who were ranked before Xu Feng had almost finished their performances.

The scores of most tutors are basically stable at around 85, and the gap is not too big.

Except for the two popular singers, who scored 79 points, falling below the 80-point mark of the mentor group.

……

After sending the guests off the stage, the host glanced at the booklet in his hand and said with a smile: "Then, the next ones who will bring us a wonderful performance are Teacher Xu Feng and Teacher Bai Yao."

"I heard that Mr. Xu Feng's latest album is selling very well, with one million copies sold on the first day! On behalf of the program team, I would like to congratulate Mr. Xu Feng. Maybe he will be nominated for an award soon."

“Without further ado, let’s look forward to the wonderful performances presented by the two teachers!”

"A little spoiler, this time Mr. Xu Feng is going to serve a new song again."

The reason I mentioned the album is because of the request from the sponsor, Meishe Technology - they currently have no products that need endorsements, and the sponsorship requirement is to help promote Xu Feng's album on stage.

At the same time, we should also emphasize sales.

The audience immediately started to cheer: "Wow!"

"I've noticed that Xu Feng rarely sings songs he's sung before. Have you noticed?"

"Yeah, it seems like he always sings new songs every time he performs, instead of old ones."

"You won't go back, right, Mr. Xu Feng?"

"So, every live performance of his is actually a swan song, the kind that you can't miss?"

"From the current situation, I guess so."

"That may not be the case. Xu Feng hasn't held a concert yet. When he holds a concert, he will definitely sing it again. What singer wouldn't sing his classic songs at a concert?"

"Okay, then may I ask when Xu Feng will hold a concert? Who would pay him to host such a large-scale personal event?"

"Uh, this..."

"Why not ask his biggest fan? He can open a company for the dean, so it's not too much to ask for a concert."

"Of course, if possible, it would be best to build a mental hospital for Xu Feng."

"Sister, I remember you gnashed your teeth whenever you mentioned her. Why are you asking others to do things for you now? Didn't you say before that you also wanted to sit in the passenger seat of Xu Feng?"

Xu Feng is handsome, talented and young. Although his style of doing things is relatively abstract, he also has a group of loyal female fans.

Fans who don’t care about anything else and only care about appearance can be found everywhere.

It’s just that Xu Feng himself doesn’t pay much attention to his fan circle, so many bad things can’t find him.

"Haha... that's different. Well, a concert is a benefit for all fans."

"When I talk about Xu Feng, I feel the atmosphere is much more normal. When Zhou Yanliu was performing just now, I almost suspected that it was all a scam."

"..."

Before leaving, Bai Yao glanced at Zhou Yanliu and said in a friendly tone: "It seems that Teacher Zhou Yanliu is very confident in her students? I hope your group can continue to be brilliant."

After saying that, Bai Yao ignored Zhou Yanliu's somewhat ugly expression and walked onto the stage with Xu Feng.

"Good afternoon, dear audience friends..."

Xu Feng picked up the microphone, paused for a moment, and said, "Next, I will bring you my new song, 'Lonely Patient'."
