Chapter 107 A random song, a desperate attempt to save the day
I've been making fun of my brother's singing, dancing, and rapping in my novels every day, and today it's finally Yu Wei's turn to rap...

It's just divine punishment from the star official of the Mao day.

The drumbeats pounded down with each heartbeat, and Yu Wei twirled the microphone in his hand, the first word bursting from his throat as the air currents carried it.

"Look at these mountains, valleys, and rocks
One river after another

Let the river stars rush and the wild geese fly.

"One bay after another."

His voice wasn't as deep as Zeng Yi's; he could only sink his voice into the C3 low register, like a rock falling to the ground.

Yu Wei slightly tucked his chin and steadily lowered his Adam's apple, his breath surging up from deep within his abdomen, resonating in his chest cavity to produce distinct and clear articulation.

Every plosive sound, "壑" and "川," was as sharp as if carved by a knife, yet there was not a trace of hoarseness from throat compression. Only then did the audience realize that the song had rap elements.

Subconsciously, everyone's pupils dilated. Yu Wei was actually rapping. When did he learn this?

Is this still the same gentle and kind ballad singer from before?
Although Yu Wei had shown off his skills before, his singing style was generally similar, while his rapping was a completely different path.

Rap emphasizes using the natural rhythm and vocalization of spoken language to interpret lyrics, which is not easy for inexperienced singers.

Yu Wei clearly has no rapping experience, so how did he become so proficient?
If it's not off, it's on?

"What a fuss."

In the audience, only Meng Han sat calmly. So what? Yu Wei started rocking right away and he didn't say anything. In his opinion, rap was already considered relatively easy to get started with.

Shouldn't the most surprising thing be that Yu Wei wrote a rap song?
He can learn to rap in a few days, but his songwriting skills are undeniable.

The opening rap section of the song is basically a solo performance by Yu Wei. The depth of his abdominal support and the smoothness of his enunciation are quite enjoyable to listen to.

But problems soon arose. Just like with Shen Yutong earlier, the amateur singers in the chorus couldn't keep up...

When Fang Ze took over Linghua's high notes, his voice became noticeably strained. He tried desperately to tilt his head back to support the high notes, but his Adam's apple rose uncontrollably, and his breath leaked out from between his teeth.

"I paint my mountains and rivers with my brush

The sword's edge, sharp as a thousand bolts, paints this majestic scene.

His voice was bright and clear, and his high notes were amazing at first listen. But when he transitioned to the middle range, a crack appeared. The pitch of the second half of the sentence suddenly fluctuated by half a degree, swaying like a kite with a broken string.

This is a typical amateur singing style, with breath breaks between words and high notes forced by brute force.

If we can't hit the high notes, we'll fake cry or laugh to avoid them...

Yu Wei immediately took a half step to the side and wrapped his own strong mixed voice around it, the metallic resonance instantly filling the thinness of Fang Ze's voice.

This time, we can't turn the impossible into reality; we can only barely get back on track.

I tried my best!

Fang Ze noticed the look in Yu Wei's eyes, which, besides being encouraging, seemed to be telling him to steady his breathing and not strain his voice.

Yu Wei's actions were somewhat unexpected by the audience. Both were amateur contestants who made mistakes, but Shen Yutong sang well on her own, while Yu Wei sang well on her own and also helped her sing along.

It's not fair to say one is clearly superior, but Yu Wei's behavior is definitely more likable.

In the previous episodes, there were quite a few instances of celebrities putting on individual shows. Everyone says that this show is about hearing everyone's voice, but what's the point if it just becomes a show where celebrities show off their skills?
Only Yu Wei considers the needs of ordinary people. Although his songs are indeed difficult to sing, as long as he can break through his own limitations, he can achieve the same effect as in the first two episodes and leave behind classics.

Even if he can't break through to the level he achieved today, he will still play support in every little detail. What more can be said about his attitude?
Actually, the audience has more or less misunderstood the other singers. It's not that they don't help ordinary people, but that they can't help them.

When performing live, it's good enough if you can sing well yourself, how can you spare the energy to help others?
This near-perfect mastery of the song is something only Yu Wei could achieve...

"Let me hold the Qin and Han dynasties in my heart"
"Dreaming of returning to the Tang Dynasty to paint peonies."

When the fast-paced rap section begins, Yu Wei's rhythm fully unfolds, with words bursting forth like a string of arrows, yet the listening experience remains clear.

Listening to his wonderful performance, everyone acted as if the little incident from earlier had never happened.

When have I ever had any disagreement with Minister Yu...?

One good thing about rap is that it has a strong rhythm and it's easy to get caught up in it. Yu Wei has a very precise control over the rhythm, and before you know it, some people in the audience are nodding and stomping their feet to the beat.

"I paint my mountains and rivers with my brush

The sword's edge, sharp as a thousand bolts, paints this majestic scene.

Fang Ze took on the challenge of the chorus again. This time, he listened to Yu Wei's advice and did not overwork his vocal cords. Instead, he slowly and smoothly sang the chorus.

The high notes pierced the sky, but the larynx position also rose accordingly, and the pharyngeal voice was dry and harsh, like sandpaper rubbing. There was obvious improvement, but it was still far from good enough.

Yu Wei's impromptu rescue was textbook-worthy. He suddenly lowered the harmony and used the booming low-frequency sound pressure of his chest cavity to add a layer of richness to Fang Ze's shrill high-frequency sound.

He didn't criticize Fang Ze too much. Life isn't a novel; there aren't that many sudden enlightenments. It's already quite good that he could make significant progress the second time.

It's not bad, at least...

The audience really liked this supportive singing style. Fang Ze's efforts in singing such a difficult chorus so well deserve respect, and Yu Wei's assistance also deserves recognition.

He essentially used his own strength to weld the broken melody back onto track.

This should be the essence of the show "Music Blind Box": singers use their professionalism to make up for the lack of talent among amateurs.

Perhaps this performance wasn't perfect, but it's the real sound.

"Highest point Shigatse"

Standing on the Himalayas

Heavy snow in the far east

"Snowflakes are falling on the banks of Mohe." During the climax, Fang Ze, with Yu Wei singing along, completely let loose. By this point, he was already better than his girlfriend, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

His high notes, devoid of any technical skill, were still sharp and piercing, but Yu Wei's harmonies were very steady. When the two sound waves collided, Fang Ze's sharpness was actually lifted up by Yu Wei's voice, unexpectedly creating a magnificent sound like a snow-covered peak.

But the chorus didn't go so smoothly. After Yu Weigang saved the day, Fang Ze ran into trouble again.

The reason was that he subconsciously tried to imitate Yu Wei's throat position, but his skill was not good enough and he could only squeeze out a whimper that leaked air.

Damn, I spoke too soon. This young couple is a match made in heaven; they're both terrible at games and love to have fun...

Even a rescue attempt couldn't keep up!
"Remembering the smoke signals of war in the far west"

The wind swirls around Kashgar

The southernmost blue sea and sky

The dragon soars out of the sea, the waves surge to the heavens.

Yu Wei cut in like lightning, replacing the highest note with a strong mixed voice, gradually stabilizing the flaw.

He already had a lot of lyrics to write, and the series of actions had exhausted Yu Wei. When the landscape painting was retracted on the big screen, he actually felt a strange sense of relief.

The applause from the audience was mixed with admiration. Choir singing is about making up for each other's weaknesses with one's own strengths, and Yu Wei did a great job in this regard.

Although this match wasn't as perfect as the previous ones, it was just as moving and amazing as the previous ones.

Fang Ze's repeated mishaps and Yu Wei's frantic efforts to put out the fire left them with an unforgettable scene. Isn't that more entertaining than a solo performance?

As the final notes faded, sweat soaked through Yu Wei's collar. Saving the moment was like putting out a fire; these were all traces of his battle with the out-of-control vocal register...

"It's clear that Professor Yu Wei put in a lot of effort. Let's randomly select a lucky audience member to give a comment."

Is it truly random?

It was impossible to think about; the production team was clearly up to no good. Sure enough, the host didn't even bother to act and directly chose Meng Han.

In the previous episode, Meng Han's dizziness was somewhat related to Yu Wei. This time, Yu Wei's group's performance had significant flaws, and the production team clearly gave Meng Han a chance for "revenge."

There was no malice intended; it was just for the sake of creating a good show. After all, anyone with eyes can see that Yu Wei's singing was perfectly fine.

"This song is indeed quite different from Yu Wei's previous style, but the overall quality is not bad."

"As for the performance..."

Meng Han was silent for a moment, then explained seriously, "Yu Wei's rescue was like new roots growing from a crack, piecing together the majestic landscape into a complete picture."

"I think only he can bring this imperfect yet vibrant landscape of sound to life. More than a perfect performance, I think this imperfection is the soul of the performance."

His comments were largely in line with the audience's thoughts; the performance did have flaws, but it was also quite genuine.

Yu Wei and Fang Ze were like two tour guides, leading them step by step to unveil the beauty of the mountains and rivers and appreciate the magnificent scenery of the motherland.

Mountains and rivers are not without flaws, but it is precisely because of the existence of cracks and deep seas that we need to work together to piece together the imperfections into a complete landscape.

Teacher Meng is a respectable person. Instead of mocking him for his missteps as the program team suggested, she elevated the discussion to a higher level.

His comment elevated the song's message considerably, extending its meaning beyond the venue.

Shen Yutong listened very carefully. If she had to point out any shortcomings, she personally felt that the lyrics of the song were a bit bland.

It's not that the lyrics are bad, it's just that they're too straightforward, which is quite different from Yu Wei's previous style...

His songs used to always contain a touch of poetry, which Shen Yutong greatly admires, but she didn't hear it in this song.

There's no good or bad in it, but phrases like "all men step forward" and "brothers and sisters dance together" are indeed quite different from Yu Wei's previous subtle aesthetic.

Perhaps this creative concept that appeals to both highbrow and popular tastes is what she lacks.

The third performance was by Su Jian's group. He was working as a salesman on this episode. I've known him for a long time, but Yu Wei doesn't think she's ever heard him sing before.

I wonder what level this guy is at...

"I'm a salesperson, and I'm proud of it."
Running on the peak track

I have no attachment to the thorny path.

"There is light ahead, shining brightly."

As soon as Su Jian opened his mouth, Yu Wei couldn't hold back anymore. He didn't know where Su Jian had chosen this amazing song from, and he just made a fool of himself.

The song he chose was so corny it was almost unbelievable, and you could even explain it away by saying it was deliberately abstract. But the fact that he could sing such a simple limerick off-key is just unbelievable.

It seems that being a singer isn't the right path for him...

"Young dream chaser salesman"
Working from dawn till dusk to run business

Avoid the security guard and go around the front desk

A cold rejection is inevitable.

The audience was initially silent, then erupted into a tsunami of laughter.

Some people were laughing so hard they were slapping their thighs. Yu Wei even saw Meng Han trying so hard to suppress his laughter that his face was contorted. It was really hard for someone his age to still be holding back laughter.

Originally, everyone thought there were flaws in the performance of "Landscape Painting", but now it seems that Yu Wei can still perform for another thirty years.

When have I ever had any disagreement with Consort Yu...?
