Start with a pop song

Chapter 47 What Are We Here For
Everyone was stunned.

He looked at Zhu Shao speechlessly.

Song Dao was also a little amused and was about to sit down.

Zhu Shao chuckled and said, "I'm just joking with you all. Since Song Dao wants to be the first to sing, let's fulfill his wish. Is that ok?"

Song's butt was almost touching the sofa, and his expression of surprise when he heard this was particularly interesting.

His handsome face was full of resentment.

Everyone immediately applauded and cheered.

I have to say that Zhu Shao's casual operation easily maximized the effect of the program.

Song Dao stood up again, muttering as he walked: "Ten years in the east, ten years in the west, one day I will also be the chief director!"

puff!
Sun Meiqi burst out laughing on the spot.

Even the shy Xue Lin couldn't stop laughing.

This sentence is so appropriate in this context.

Combined with that handsome but resentful face, this complaining joke is very funny.

Zhu Shao smiled smugly.

"You have to work harder, young man!"

Amidst everyone's laughter, Song Dao first looked at the guitar. In fact, this was definitely what he was best at.

But for this song today, piano accompaniment is more suitable.

The original owner's piano level has reached the intermediate level recognized by the system.

According to Xiaguo's rating system, it is roughly equivalent to an undergraduate degree in piano.

It’s not that great, but it’s definitely much better than amateur level ten.

He sat on the piano stool with an upright posture, and pressed the keys twice to test the sound, which made everyone's eyes light up.

It seemed that the lazy and sluggish energy in Song Dao disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The room fell silent at this point.

Lin Fei looked at Song Dao's profile with admiration.

It feels great that I am the only one who knows his true strength!

It was the song that Song Dao wrote for himself that made her speechless.

I don't understand why you have to be so hard on yourself. Can't you just write a few songs about one's life forever and with good intentions?
It's really willful, but also quite fun.

next moment.

A soft and melodious piano sound was heard.

Then——

[A person is alone in this night, unable to fall asleep]

[I really want to find someone to accompany me, I don’t want to get drunk alone]

【When I get drunk, I will cry】

[Counting the sadness you gave me]

The voice was gentle, with a hint of sadness, and accompanied by the melody of the piano, it sounded like a confession.

Everyone facing the camera showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

It seemed a little unexpected that when Song Dao opened his mouth, it turned out to be another very infectious and sad love song.

Why do you always make me haggard?

[Don't say you don't care about my tears]

[You look at me crying without even turning your head]

[After crying, the tears dried up and the heart turned into ashes]

[You don’t want to give me the beauty I want]

[How can I face my broken heart~]

The melody is simple and smooth, and the lyrics are sincere and easy to understand, perfectly showing the pain of love and the release of emotions.

Especially in the high-pitched part, not to mention the four mentors and the other three students on the scene, even the staff of the program group could easily feel that Song Dao sang very easily!

In Chanbao's words - a little love song, just the right touch.

Even in the eyes of several professionals, Song Dao can sing this seemingly simple but actually difficult song with ease.

Not taking it seriously at all.

Similarly, they can all judge it.

This kind of song with a catchy melody will most likely become an Internet hit as quickly as the two songs mentioned above by Song Dao.

It has become a popular song among singing hosts and in KTVs.

This type of song has one biggest feature: it is simple and easy to learn, and you can hum along after listening to it once; it has a strong emotional expression, and no matter whether you have been heartbroken or not, you can easily fall in love with it as long as you hear it.

“It’s another song that will be sung a lot.”

Li Jun felt a little emotional and felt that the young people are really formidable.

At his status and age, he is very tolerant and will not be like Ma Shen who says: As long as you don't meet my standards of being advanced, I will look down on grassroots people like you.

When Song Dao sang the second time, Sun Meiqi had already started humming along.

This straightforward Hong Kong girl is a bit of a hard-core person.

If it was really the work of a music tailor like the ones on the Internet, even if she had a high emotional intelligence, she would not behave like this.

There was admiration in the look he gave Song Dao at this moment.

What songwriter hasn’t written a few songs when they were younger that would embarrass their future self?
She is still very young, but she has already produced works that she is unwilling to mention and that make her feel socially doomed just thinking about them.

But it’s quite popular.

So no matter from which angle, she felt that Song Dao, brought by Sister Fei, was a very talented young man.

The key is that he is handsome, I like it!
However, the reactions of Li Jun and Sun Meiqi were not the focus of the program team.

Before, Zhu Shao asked the photographer to pay more attention to Ma Shen and Lin Fei when Song Dao was singing.

At this time, Lin Fei crossed her legs and sat on the sofa very elegantly.

He looked very relaxed, and his fingers were following the rhythm, tapping the beat gently.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Song Dao was full of admiration.

Ma Shen is more interesting.

Ma Shen, who also started out as a love song singer, has strong creative abilities, and his unique voice makes him stand out in the music scene.

He has been able to remain in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years and has no problem finding his feet.

He likes to talk big and likes to make comments on everything by relying on his seniority.

He has never had any problems so far. On the one hand, it is because he knows his limits and will not easily provoke people he shouldn't provoke; on the other hand, it is also due to his own professionalism.

Anyone who dares to criticize directly rarely makes mistakes.

So he never thought that how could a queen of Lin Fei's status take a fancy to a small internet celebrity?
Just because he's handsome?

That’s exactly what I thought before.

However, when Song Dao released his second song, Sad City, he was actually a little shaken.

It is said that catchy songs are easy to write, so why are there not many catchy songs that become popular over the years?

Why are those music tailors who use universal chords to write a song in a few minutes unable to become famous?
If he could still stick his neck out and refuse to admit defeat before, insisting that the works written by small internet celebrities like Song Dao were not good, he himself would not be able to get up.

It’s really hard to say now.

He was led by Lin Fei and directly participated in this top music variety show with huge investment.

My piano level cannot be said to be very high, but at least it is good enough.

A song with a simple melody and rich emotions could not conquer him, but if the audience felt that it was good and liked it, it was not a big problem! The key was that this big boy threw away his laziness and sat upright on the piano bench to play and sing.

Gives people a professional and beautiful sense of picture.

Everyone can debut as an idol right where they are!
The expression on his face looked like he was constipated and very conflicted.

Because he knew that the program team invited him not to praise Song Dao.

And someone did hint to him...

So fuck it, that’s fucking awesome!

After Song Dao finished singing, he stood up and bowed slightly to everyone as the piano ended.

The crowd responded with warm applause.

Sun Meiqi didn't know whether she was unaware of the grudge between Ma Shen and Song Dao, or whether she knew about it and did it on purpose.

He said loudly: "It sounds great, Teacher Song, I give you a thumbs up, it's really great!"

Song Dao clasped his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude.

Lin Fei also spoke up: "Teacher Song, this song is really good. You have maintained your standard as always."

Song Dao smiled.

Others said this was encouragement, but she said it was pure ridicule.

What does "maintaining my standard as always" mean?

Isn't it just a little disgust?

"You would never imagine that every song I sang was once very popular in another world. You could hear them on the speakers of businesses and on the motorcycles of ghost-fire boys in any corner of the country."

Song Dao thought to himself.

At this time, Ma Shen said, "I have a different opinion. What should I say about Xiao Song's song? It will probably be popular for a while, but as I said before, with your ability, you should not limit yourself to composing songs like this."

After all, it's the first song, so I'll just criticize it lightly first. But if I criticize it too harshly, it'll offend people.

Damn program team.

Ma Shen cursed in his heart.

Li Jun was the last one to say with a smile: "It's a love song, it's pretty good. Love is really an unforgettable memory in a person's life..."

Then he looked at Lin Fei and said, "Xiao Lin, don't you want to consider tasting the beauty of youth?"

Lin Fei smiled and shook her head: "I won't consider it, Teacher Li."

They didn't have much contact in the past, but when they were recording a show together, she discovered that he was a naughty boy.

Although it is for the effect of the show - there needs to be more interaction between the two main characters.

But it’s also true that I like to make people laugh!

No wonder many senior celebrities mentioned this old man and said with helplessness that he was very humorous.

The second person to come on stage was Zhong Yutong. I guess this internet celebrity has just figured out that this is not a music variety show with live voting.

The real test is off the field.

It really doesn’t matter who comes first or later, because the current order of appearance does not necessarily mean the final broadcast order.

She sat on a stool holding a guitar and smiled at the camera: "Hello, teachers and students. My name is Zhong Yutong. I come from the beautiful prairie. Today I am bringing you an original song called Beautiful Prairie."

This is a folk song with ethnic minority style, which also includes a short section of throat singing, and the quality is not bad.

This caused the people below to look surprised.

There was applause after she finished singing.

Although the program team did not arrange a review session, they have said before that they would leave all the review efforts to the market and the public.

But Ma Shen still gave it high praise.

"Yutong, you sang this song well. I also came from the grassland. Your singing made me feel the fragrance of the green grass in my hometown."

"Thank you, Teacher Ma." Zhong Yutong said generously, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Song Dao who was sitting there quietly with a smile on his face.

She is confident in her own creative ability, but feels that this song may not be better than Song Dao's.

Before coming, she was very confident and wanted to win the show.

Successful debut!

Like Kong Xi's lucky little sister, she was promoted from an internet celebrity to a real singer.

But now I suddenly realize that this idea may be a little naive.

But since I'm here, just treat it as a learning process.

At least I can meet so many celebrities that I never had the chance to meet in the past, and I can also make some friends of the same age.

Even if she continues to be her original internet celebrity singer, she can still accumulate a lot of popularity through the show.

Zhao Qi was the third to appear.

This guy also chose piano, and his level was unexpectedly good. He must have been learning it since he was a child.

The song he sang had a very grand name, called Huazhou.

The style is somewhat like that of old Huazhou, with a bit of elegance and a little bit of theatrical singing. To be honest, it's not bad to listen to.

In fact, for many songs, the feeling of listening to them live and listening to them in audio are completely different.

For example, many young people do not like to listen to the high and low bass bel canto singing style.

When watching these evening show singers on the screen, there is almost no sense of achievement.

But if you listen to it live, the feeling will be immediately different.

Song Dao once attended a dinner party where a not-so-famous baritone singer sang a main melody song a cappella.

It was very shocking and opened his eyes.

Therefore, in many music variety shows, the reaction of the live audience is very different from that of those watching on the screen.

People who were not there will never understand. It’s just a song, why would you cry?
Zhao Qi's Huazhou is highly completed and must have been carefully polished.

After the song was finished, there was a burst of warm applause.

When he walked back, Zhao Qi looked very confident. In his opinion, this Huazhou song was a sure win!

It is much more advanced than "Don't say your tears, I don't care". Unless the audience are fools, it is impossible not to like it!
Xue Lin was the last to perform, and just as she said, she sang a very quiet folk song.

The quality of the songs themselves is... just okay.

But her voice is a little too sweet.

It's not very suitable for performing folk songs that require a sense of story.

Moreover, the little queen Sun Meiqi is good at many styles, including pop, rock, R&B, electronic and ancient style, but she has rarely created folk songs.

So there is no doubt that this song is 100% original by Xue Lin.

If it is sung by a singer who is good at folk music, the effect will probably be better.

Only she herself was not so suitable.

But the crowd still gave warm applause.

Xue Lin seemed to be aware of the problem, but the shy girl was not as frustrated as people expected.

He just puffed his cheeks slightly and came to Sun Meiqi: "Sister Qiqi, you are right. I don't think this style is really suitable for me."

This frank reaction made everyone smile.

Sun Meiqi held her hand and laughed, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll help you adjust. Take your time. This is just the beginning. What are we here for?"

"Play."

Xue Lin said in a low voice, a little embarrassed.

She looks very cute and her variety show sense is instantly boosted.
