My wife is in my arms

Chapter 519 Selling Songs Part 2

Cover songs are more intriguing than the originals.

In this regard.

Zhang You didn't know how to comment. Although this kind of thing is very common in the music industry, as the person involved, the diva must feel bad. If she feels bad, Zhang You must feel bad too.

And there is precisely no solution to this kind of problem.

Let alone professional singers, even non-professional singers would have no difficulty covering "I Don't Want to Be Like This" and "Just Like You," unless it's a specific type of song that no other singer could possibly cover successfully except for the original singer.

Thought for a moment.

Zhang You then chose to give up.

The main problem is that he simply couldn't find a song that was only suitable for a female singer to sing, and that no one else could sing. Wawa's "I've Crossed the Ocean to See You" was a success, as it matched his voice very well and he put in 100% of his emotions. Yet, it was still successfully covered by Liu Mingxiang. Apart from her, Sandy Lam and Rene Liu also sang it very well.

Male singer Emil Chau also sings very well, not to mention Jonathan Lee himself.

It's not that there aren't original songs that can't be surpassed, like "Big Fish," "Stars," "Moonlight," and "Left Finger Pointing to the Moon," etc.

Can…….

Zhang You was also helpless.

Professional singers are most afraid of having their songs covered by other professional singers, but unfortunately, the rules of "Special Voice" are precisely to cover other singers' songs.

After the performance of "Just Like You," Zhang You, sitting in the host's chair, smiled and applauded. Objectively speaking, the singer did indeed sing well.

"Thank you, Teacher Yan Zhong, for your wonderful performance. From your singing, I could hear the deep affection and tacit understanding between a man and a woman as they accompany each other, as well as their unspoken farewell."

Zhang You walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and said, "Time never speaks, yet it answers all questions. How many people promised to spend their whole lives together, but as time goes by, it all becomes a thing of the past?"

Jiang Yiren, sitting in the backstage dressing room, felt a twitch in her eyelids.

"How many people have said they'd be friends for life, only to turn around and become the most familiar strangers? As the original creator of 'Just Like You,' I really like Yan Zhong's singing. He sang about the loss, gain, letting go, and growth of adults. The final 'Applause for you,' ending with a high note, seems to express a longing for you to always be there."

Teacher Yan was a little embarrassed by the praise.

No wonder he can write such beautiful lyrics; even his praise of others sounds exceptionally cultured.

A round of applause erupted from the audience. After Zhang You finished speaking, he turned to the big screen with a smile and said, "Honey, we still have to work hard! But this is my fault. If you don't do well today, it must be because of me. I don't have much say on the show 'Special Voice,' so I can't pull any strings for you."

The singers backstage laughed.

The cameraman was very clever; he turned the lens towards the program's director.

Director Ning was seen laughing so hard he was doubled over.

As the recording of "Special Voice" progressed, he felt that the production team had made a huge profit this time.

The 10 million yuan investment not only secured Jiang Yiren, but also the winners of the Best Composer and Best Arranger awards. More importantly, several singers have covered Jiang Yiren's songs since the recording began. If the rules of the game hadn't been clearly stated before recording, they would have had to pay a lot of money just for covering other people's songs.

Moreover, Zhang You is indeed very good at setting the mood.

They are just as good as professional hosts.

Jiang Yiren rolled her eyes. Before she even went on stage, her husband already thought her ranking wasn't ideal. This undoubtedly proved that... in other people's eyes, her singing skills couldn't compare to Bai Li and Yan Zhong.

However, recalling the performances of the two singers just now, Jiang Yiren felt helpless.

Both are powerful singers; neither of them is weak in vocal skills. Especially since they must have done thorough research on their covers beforehand, knowing which singing style would produce the best results. I suspect they'll even compare their performances to hers during the recording.

Next up is Teacher Haiqing. He didn't cover Jiang Yiren's song, not because he didn't want to, but because Teachers Bai Li and Yan Zhong had already taken his turn.

He covered Yan Zhong's famous song "Misty Rain on the City Tower".

One after another, they finished their performances.

Finally, it was the turn of singer Jiang Yiren. Zhang You had heard her cover of Lan Xiao's song "Xiang Si Yu" at home last night.

Zhang You unscrewed the cap and took a refreshing sip.

This was the sponsor's request. They probably knew it was the first time he'd joked about their brand, so during the recording of the second episode, the production team required Zhang You to drink something during the show... He could drink a few sips, but he had to do it by twisting open the bottle cap.

Putting aside his initial excitement, Zhang You continued listening to his wife's singing.

"Knowing that longing is bitter, I still choose to suffer the pain of unrequited love. When this longing turns into tears and rain, a torrential downpour begins in my heart..."

last night.

Zhang You was taken aback.

Listening to it again today, it's still incredibly powerful.

This word... it's really impossible to write without a vivid imagination. It does highlight the theme of the song and uses an exaggerated metaphor. Zhang You has also heard Lan Xiao's singing. There's nothing to say, the lyrics are exaggerated, and even the singing style is exaggerated. He keeps hitting high notes. The singer didn't hit any high notes, but... anyway, Zhang You is very curious about why this song became a representative work.

Thank you Jiang Yiren for singing.

Done.

Zhang You didn't offer any comments, but directly said, "Now please pick up your devices and score the wonderful performances of the singers."

Zhang You turned to look at the big screen.

Jiang Yiren, dressed in a black belted long dress, also looked over. Soon, the answer appeared on the big screen. Zhang You announced the rankings directly, saying, "Congratulations to teachers Bai Li and Lan Xiao, you are the first place winners of this episode. Second place goes to teacher Yan Zhong. Third place goes to Hai Qing and Chen Yao. Last place goes to..."

Zhang You smiled and looked at Teacher Tan Yao, saying, "It's a pity, Teacher Tan Yao, your and my wife's team is in last place."

Tan Yao gave an awkward laugh.

Jiang Yiren covered her face with her hands. If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have listened to her husband's choice of Bai Li's single "Night Camellia" released last year, instead of insisting on singing "Rain of Longing".

Program recording ends.

Bai Li was worried he'd forgotten, so she came over to remind him. Then, with her personal assistant Li Jing, on the way home, Jiang Yiren asked, "Am I a terrible singer?!"

"It's not a problem with your singing ability, it's that you chose the wrong song."

Zhang You replied very seriously.

Having been in the music industry for so many years, the diva's singing skills, while not comparable to top singers, are certainly not weak. After a slight hesitation, Zhang You asked in return, "Will you listen to me?!"

"..."

Jiang Yiren was stunned.

Then he shook his head and refused, saying, "Don't even think about getting me to do that kind of thing for you again."
