This man knows how to hype

Chapter 145 Who would cry when listening to music?

"Watch Xu Xiyu's live broadcast? Why?" It was around 11: in the evening, and an hour had passed since Xu Xiyu's live broadcast ended.

In the live broadcast room of a well-known e-sports player [Wzz] on D station, he just finished playing a game. Suddenly, he found that there were a lot of barrages in his live broadcast room for no apparent reason.

All the barrage comments were asking me to search for Xu Xiyu’s live streaming clips.

So, while waiting in line to enter the game, he opened D Station and started searching.

While searching, he asked, "Is Teacher Dan doing something new?"

As soon as this question was asked, the comments in the live broadcast room started to scroll wildly.

[Yes, I made a very funny thing. You can search for "one meat and one vegetable", it's very funny]

[Yes, yes, I laughed so hard that tears came out]

[Host, don't believe them. This song is very easy to make you cry. It's better not to listen to it. You will cry later.]

"Crying? Impossible, the host never cries when listening to songs." After seeing the barrage, Wzz stretched out a finger and waved it towards the camera.

Then, he clicked on the song titled [“One meat and one vegetable”, a song Xu Xiyu dedicated to the two elderly people who raised him]

"Is this song written for his grandparents?" Wzz looked at the title, then read the introduction, and asked casually. While speaking, his hands did not stop, but directly clicked on the video.

This video has been edited and does not directly start with the clip of Xu Xiyu playing and singing.

It should be mentioned here that Xu Xiyu created "One Meat and One Vegetable" more reasonably in the later stage of the live broadcast. So this song is written for the creative background of his deceased grandpa and grandma.

The person who uploaded the video moved the creative background to the front.

Actually, he didn't make up the background of this creation, because when he listened to "One Meat and One Vegetable", he thought of his grandparents.

The video starts playing.

Xu Xiyu's slightly low voice began to sound: "For children in our rural areas, parents usually work outside to earn money, so I was raised by my grandparents like many of my friends...

My grandfather passed away when I was in the sixth grade, and my grandmother passed away three years later... I didn't cry, I didn't cry at that time...

later?

I did cry afterwards, but it was a long time before I cried.

It was about ten days after my grandma passed away. I was cleaning the house that day and I don’t know what happened, but I suddenly couldn’t stop.

To be honest, before I started crying, I didn’t seem to realize that she was really gone…”

As Xu Xiyu finished her story, the song "One Meat and One Vegetable" slowly began to sound.

"Sunrise and sunset..."

A few minutes later……

[Anchor, anchor, please speak, why are you covering your face? ]

【Wzz: Impossible, the host never cries when listening to songs. 】

[I told you not to listen to it. I can’t listen to this song a second time. Really.]

[Before listening to the song: Hehe; After listening to the song: No hehe]

[Who can stand this? I can’t stand it, even Xu Xiyu couldn’t stand it when she sang this song herself]

[To be honest, I was able to hold on, but when Xu Xiyu couldn’t hold on, I couldn’t hold on any longer.]

[Yes, yes, I feel the same way. I couldn’t handle the moment he choked up. I couldn’t handle it even more when he ran away holding back his tears after singing.]

"You guys... are really... eh, doing these things so late at night..." After a long while, Wzz wiped his tears and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long while, he suddenly sighed: "No, this song written by Xu Xiyu is too good, right? I always thought he could only write love songs."

"'Xiaochou'? What 'Xiaochou'? This song is not also written for grandpa and grandma, right? Then I won't listen to it. I can't stand it with my brothers. I really can't stand it at this time of night."

"It's not written for grandpa and grandma. OK, then I'll go and listen to it."

Another few minutes passed...

"What the hell?? Teacher Dan is really amazing! No, didn't he write love songs like "The Rest of My Life"? Why do these two songs feel so different in quality? Could this be his true strength?"

"Singing 7 new songs live? And, damn, I'm going to listen."

"No, no, I'm not in a good mood today. I'll play after I finish watching his video."

On the other side, in the live broadcast room of a well-known female game anchor from Huya, she looked at the barrage of comments on the screen and said: "Who can cry when listening to the songs nowadays?

No, it’s not that I’m setting a flag, it’s just that the current songs really can’t move people, you know, the old songs might be better...” A few minutes later...

[Anchor, wipe your nose]

【Today, I have seen the four words "tears streaming down one's face"】

[Good fellow, tears broke down at the speed of light, is this what you said, you won’t cry? ]

[It was indeed the speed of light that caused tears to fall, less than three seconds]

"It's not that I cry quickly, it's that I really can't stand hearing the words 'Actually, I'm doing OK', really..."

The same scene also happened in the live broadcast rooms of big anchors on major live broadcast platforms.

Asking anchors to listen to "One Meat and One Vegetable" has become the latest hobby for some fans. And for many marketing accounts, they have more content to create.

It didn’t take long before videos titled [A collection of major anchors’ reactions to “One Meat and One Vegetable”] began to appear on the internet one after another.

Of course, not only the major anchors are watching, but people in the music industry are also paying attention to Xu Xiyu’s live singing videos.

A bunch of well-known music critics and musicians came out to express their opinions.

The most eye-catching among them is a man named Wei Liliang, who is a well-known senior in the music industry. His status is similar to Liu Huan on Earth.

Of course, this is different from Liu Huan who doesn’t talk much online.

As one of the big names in the music industry, Wei Liliang can be said to be "disappointed" with the current pop music scene.

He often said that the current music scene is not good. Especially after the advent of the short video era, there is a set of formulas that lead to homogeneity;

There are those who engage in plagiarism and act as music tailors;

There are also those who only ponder one or two sentences without considering the overall quality of the music;

All in all, it’s just like what a certain musician on Earth said, “Many of their songs are very popular, but I feel they’re shit when I listen to them.”

Although Wei Liliang never said this, he certainly felt this way, and he often criticized on the Internet. He is such an old veteran who always criticizes.

Today's attitude has completely changed.

He praised Xu Xiyu's songs highly on the Internet.

After Xu Xiyu sang seven new songs, he wrote seven long reviews.

Every long review is sincere and heartfelt.

Every long review expressed his admiration for Xu Xiyu without any concealment.

For example, there is a passage in his review of "One Meat and One Vegetable": [I remember I once said that many singers now believe that high-level music lies in the complexity of the arrangement.

By the way, the same is true for singing skills. There are still many singers who use the ability to sing high notes and how many octaves they can span as the criteria for judging their singing skills.

I actually know why this happens, it's to cover up the lack of creative ability. Whether it's complexity or technique, it's just a fig leaf for some musicians.

Now, Xiyu's song "One Meat and One Vegetable" has torn off this fig leaf.

This song tells everyone that good music does not need those pretentious things.

If it does, it is the icing on the cake; if it doesn’t, it is still a piece of brocade.

Some music is just a piece of rag. No matter how many flowers are embroidered on it, it is still a rag! 】

Comments on "Xiaochou": [I can't write this lyric. It's true that every generation has its own talent. Finally, a new and impressive person has come to the music industry. Congratulations!!!]

Comments on "I Want You": [What I appreciate most is the insertion of a Pingtan tune of "Big Nine Links" in the song. The combination of tradition and modernity is very interesting. I encourage other singers to seek inspiration from tradition...]

Comments on "I Only Care About You": [Both the lyrics and the music have a solid feel of classic songs, which is very rare in today's impetuous music creation environment...]

Comments on "Our Song": [The song is playful and cheerful, which proves that Xiyu is able to handle different styles of music. His songs are not all sad...]

To be honest, some of Wei Liliang's comments did help Xu Xiyu offend some people, but he has always been a straightforward person, so he definitely didn't have any bad intentions.

Fortunately, he did not directly name and criticize other singers, otherwise it would have really caused a fight.

But if he doesn't name anyone, netizens will do it for him.

Because of this, topics related to Xu Xiyu, which already had explosive traffic, became even more popular after being named.

The next afternoon, Zhang Yiyuan, who had been filming a night scene at Hengdian and slept till now, knew nothing. As soon as he met his assistant, he heard a piece of news that shocked him.
