This star is a bit wild

Chapter 5 Freshmen
Looking at the laughing and proud crowd in front of me

There are turbulent waves in my heart

Dancing wildly through the wilderness
Feel the wild and broken splendor
……

On the stage, Chu Hang lowered his head slightly, and his whole appearance became more relaxed.

Even though he had just come through time and space, he hadn't fully adapted to this body yet, but it was more than enough to handle the competition ahead. Moreover, the song he chose today was also a bit clever.

Compared with other types of music, rock music is more rugged, has a higher tolerance rate, and is more flexible on the spot. For Chu Hang, who is in the running-in period, it is naturally the most suitable choice.

"Fireworks", this song was born in 2000. It is extremely popular. Even after years, it is still popular and frequently appears on various stages. The author of this song is Wang Feng, one of the representative figures in the Chinese rock scene.

Some people say that the real Wang Feng was already dead when he left No. 43 Baojia Street, while others say that Wang Feng after going solo is a shame to the rock world, simply because he popularized and commercialized rock and roll, and desecrated the true rock and roll spirit.

But, does Wang Feng really stop being a rock star after going solo?
Isn’t “Life in Bloom” considered rock music?

Isn’t “Fly Higher” considered rock music?
Isn't "Brave Heart" considered rock music?

Only those who are weak at heart are accustomed to ridicule and denial.

People with strong hearts are never stingy with praise and encouragement.

The three albums "Fireworks", "Faith Floating in the Air" and "Nothing to Desire in Life" are so valuable that even fellow rock masters such as Xu Wei have praised them highly. Therefore, even if Wang Feng performs worse after going solo, he can still remain in the first echelon of the Chinese rock scene. What's more, Wang Feng has made an indelible contribution to the spread and popularity of rock music in China.

The song "Fireworks" is the title song of Wang Feng's first album after he left No. 43 Baojia Street and signed with a new record company. The song also perfectly presents Wang Feng's mood at the time.

He compared the human soul to a flower to describe people's thoughts on youth and life at the age of thirty. The soul burns in the fire, and either turns into ashes and blows away by the wind, or is reborn after nirvana.

When Chu Hang was choosing songs from his personal music library today, he finally decided to choose this song after considering the original owner's experience. At the same time, he also wanted to use the lyrics of this song to convey his attitude to the outside world.

Rebirth from the ashes!

restart!
……

I started to change

I'm starting to feel sleepy

I'm starting to get tired
……

Halfway through the song, it enters an interlude.

Suddenly, Chu Hang's right hand, which had been plucking the strings, stopped, and the musicians scattered around the stage also stopped in tacit understanding.

The entire stage fell into silence in an instant.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

The scene was completely silent, but in just three seconds, both the audience and those watching the live broadcast had an inexplicable illusion when they looked at the tall figure on the stage. They vaguely felt that Chu Hang seemed to have suddenly "come alive".

If Chu Hang just now was silent, lazy and lonely.

At this moment, Chu Hang is lively, enthusiastic and high-spirited.

"boom!"

The next second, thousands of lights in the entire studio simultaneously bloomed towards the audience. In the endless white light, Chu Hang slowly raised his head.

Layer upon layer of piano and drum sounds like a landslide and tsunami suddenly exploded in the studio. The impact was like a huge wave that made everyone's soul tremble. The violent and hot feeling seemed to overflow the screen, like a flame burning between high-voltage wires, spreading to everyone's heart.

……

now i'm tired
Tired like a wild flower broken by the wind
So I started to change

Become like a rolling fiery firework
……

The resounding singing voice penetrated the entire studio. Chu Hang jumped up holding his guitar. When the close-up shot was pushed to Chu Hang's face, everyone felt as if there were real fireworks flashing in Chu Hang's black eyes.

At Xinghai Media, the conference room was completely silent.

Unconsciously, the volume of the projector had been turned up to the maximum. Many people looked at Chu Hang in the live broadcast screen, who was completely immersed in the world of music. They all had a vague illusion in their hearts.

——It seems that the young man who shone throughout the summer four years ago is back!
Some people turned around in astonishment and looked at Zhao Qiongying who was sitting in the main seat. From their perspective, Zhao Qiongying was still as calm and composed as before.

However, from their invisible perspective, Zhao Qiongying's right hand hidden under the table had quietly clenched, and her knuckles even turned white due to excessive force.

'real……'

'Has it changed?'

Zhao Qiongying murmured in her heart.

In the endless light, Zhao Qiongying seemed to see Chu Hang in nirvana, and she could naturally sense the artistic conception conveyed by the lyrics of Chu Hang's new song.

However, Chu Hang had disappointed her so many times that she was now a little reluctant to believe it, fearing that this was just a flash in the pan.

"Chu Hang, I'll trust you just once, for the last time..."

Zhao Qiongying looked at the young man who shone the entire stage in the live broadcast, and she quietly made a certain decision in her heart.

……

Now I'm a little drunk

Drunk like a wild pigeon that can't find its way

So I started to change

Become like a violent and fiery firework
……

In the Mango TV live broadcast room, countless comments were refreshed rapidly like a waterfall.

"Is this still Chu Hang? When did Chu Hang start playing rock music? Aren't all the songs Chu Hang has composed love songs since his debut?" "This rock song is of very high quality. Both the lyrics and the composition are top-notch. And I feel like we've really underestimated Chu Hang. His singing skills, stage presence, and rhythm—just take this performance for example—are in no way inferior to those online singers in the main competition!"

"I'm fucking on fire!"

"Laona, come quickly, you have a savior!"

"Damn, it sounds like I want to cry, what's going on?"

"Donna sent Chu Hang an invitation to form a team!"

"At this moment, Donna's eyes were filled with tears!"

"As expected of the champion who emerged from the first season of 'The Voice of China', which was full of talented people, his strength is truly beyond words. Compared to Chu Hang, the four people in front are just like a pile of shit!"

"Why do I remember Chu Hang's singing skills weren't this strong four years ago? Could it be that being in love is just a disguise, and he's actually been secretly developing over the past four years?"

"So handsome and charming, I'm kind of in love with him!"

……

Countless comments passed by, and most of them were praises. Even if there were occasional comments from fans of the other six new generation singers, they would soon be drowned out by the huge number of comments.

After all, as the top music variety show in China, the vast majority of viewers come here simply to enjoy the music. They are relatively objective and believe that if something sounds good, it sounds good, and if something doesn't sound good, it doesn't sound good.

They won't tolerate anyone. Even Donna will be criticized if she performs poorly, let alone these new generation singers who have just made their debut.

An Yuxi, who was far away in Yanjing, sat quietly in her seat. Her watery eyes were filled with a little intoxication and confusion, and there seemed to be some starlight twinkling. Her rosy thin lips were slightly raised. If people who knew her saw this scene, they would know that An Yuxi must be in a very good mood at the moment.

A song, just five minutes passed in a flash.

After bowing, taking a curtain call, and leaving, the lights went out and Chu Hang slowly walked off the stage amid the warm applause of the audience.

In the conference room of Xinghai Media, just after Chu Hang took his bow and left the stage, Zhao Qiongying picked up the remote control at hand and turned off the projector directly.

Everyone looked back at Zhao Qiongying, and the conference room became inexplicably quiet.

"Mr. Zhao, don't you want to see Chu Hang's ranking?"

The deputy director sitting on Zhao Qiongying's right saw Zhao Qiongying turn off the projector directly after Chu Hang's performance, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Qiongying in a low voice.

"Is there any suspense about this?"

Zhao Qiongying asked back calmly, then she took out her cell phone and dialed a number in front of everyone.

The call was quickly connected, and Zhao Qiongying said straight to the point without any further ado, "Xiao Hai, you called me this morning to ask me to help you out in an emergency, and I sent the person to you. I've fulfilled your request, and now I have a request too. Is that too much?"

The person on the other side seemed to know Zhao Qiongying's temper very well, so she didn't hesitate at all: "Sister Ying, what are your requests? Tell me."

"Just two words: fair. Can you do that?"

"Of course, even if you didn't ask, I would have done it." The other party responded with a smile, then paused, and then said again: "Sister Ying, thank you for sending Chu Hang to me. He may be able to help me solve a big problem."

"It's too early to say thank you now. Let's wait and see."

Zhao Qiongying remained silent. Although she had just made up her mind to give Chu Hang one last chance, the follow-up still needed to be seen.

"Well, I'll be busy here first."

"it is good."

Zhao Qiongying responded and hung up the phone.

"Continue the meeting!"

……

Nanhu TV Station, studio director's room.

Gao Zhenhai put down the phone. Just before Chu Hang went on stage, he still looked at a loss. But after Chu Hang's performance, his brows, which had been slightly furrowed, quietly relaxed.

"I found a treasure!"

"The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared!"

Gao Zhenhai leaned his hands on the director's desk and muttered subconsciously.

Chu Hang's performance just now was enough to rank among the top three even in the fifth round of the ranking competition that just ended last week.

The original song that Chu Hang performed today was certainly wonderful, but what Gao Zhenhai valued was Chu Hang's super steady stage presence and super professional singing skills.

In addition, the rock music that Chu Hang sang today is exactly the type that is most lacking among online Chinese singers. Now they lack a singer like Chu Hang who can liven up the whole scene and compete with those foreign singers.

Although Gao Zhenhai is not sure now whether Chu Hang's current state is sustainable or just a flash in the pan or an above-average performance, it is better to have hope than not. After all, he really has no better choice now.

The assistant directors standing on both sides of Gao Zhenhai looked at Gao Zhenhai's smile that was clearly beyond words. They knew that Chu Hang had officially entered Gao Zhenhai's eyes, and their attention to Chu Hang suddenly soared.

"For the next three days, focus on promoting Chu Hang!"

Although there were still two contestants who had not yet appeared on stage, Gao Zhenhai felt that there was no need to continue watching because Chu Hang's performance was so amazing.

With superb original music and top-level performance, Gao Zhenhai felt that he was very lucky to meet Chu Hang in such a difficult situation. If the other two contestants could beat Chu Hang later, the probability would be even lower than his family grave exploding.

"understand!"

The two assistant directors responded and immediately took action...
