Chapter 193 Singing Off the Cuff
Without third-party interference, Tong Yulu is now in a winning position and can start preparing her victory speech and considering song selection.

That afternoon, she posted a Weibo post about her feelings about the competition. She couldn't be too excited since the specific results weren't out yet, but sharing her feelings was still acceptable.

[I tried some new things this time and found them quite interesting. Just enjoy them for fun, don't take them seriously. I'm not as crazy as I appear in the videos.]

Thanks to my assistant @小鹿呜呜, Sister Yang accompanied me through many takes to achieve the desired effect; the helmet was quite stuffy.

Special thanks to Yu Wei for the script, @YuWei.
Now we know who turned her into that...

You, Yu Wei, what have you done to him?

Upon seeing that such an abstract joke was written by Yu Wei, netizens instantly understood: "Oh, it was him. No wonder."

After all, he was the one who created the famous "giao" scene, and that thing is still circulating online and is a frequent visitor to the parody video section.

Now they've come up with another "giegie". Yu Wei is truly wicked. He himself follows the traditional path of letting his works speak for themselves, but the advice he gives to others is all crooked and unorthodox.

The key is that his unorthodox methods actually worked. Not only could abstract art make him famous, but it made him famous very quickly. For years, idols went unrecognized, but one day, abstract art made him known to the world...

This is clearly not the right path for celebrities, but for them, becoming famous is the top priority, let's just say they haven't become famous yet.

They cultivate themselves step by step, and they guide others without any taboos. The evil sect leader is the leader of the righteous path. How could they have such a dream?

Qi Luoan was so angry he laughed when he heard the news. No, it was one thing for Yu Wei to be doing abstract things, after all, it wasn't the first or second time, but how could he be aiding the enemy?

Xiao Lu Jie won and took the song, so Yu Tong is going to be on edge again.

"You don't need to worry about that, she won't choose 'Peach Blossom Promise'." As the organizer of the event, Yu Wei still had an overall view of the situation.

"Why?"

Qi Luoan had no doubt about his statement. She was just curious about where Yu Wei got his confidence and how he knew so much about people.

It's really something to worry about...

“She can’t sing the high notes in ‘Peach Blossom Promise’.”

"6."

The daily insult to deer.

This reason is certainly not convincing. Even if you can't sing a good song, you won't lose out by choosing it. The reason Yu Wei thinks this way is actually because of timing.

At this critical juncture of the team's disbandment, Tong Yulu doesn't need to choose a song; if she does, it might immediately be classified as company property...

She only wanted to get through this on her own because she didn't want to be tied down by the company; she probably wouldn't willingly jump in at this critical juncture.

Tong Yulu is quite clever. Take her post from this afternoon, for example. Her statement, "Don't take it seriously," shows that she has mastered the psychology of netizens' rebelliousness. The more she says this, the more stable her abstract persona becomes.

"Reasonable."

Qi Luoan thought about it and realized that this made sense. If Sister Xiaolu didn't compete with them, then they should have a sure thing.

She was still doubtful at first, but now she was somewhat certain that Yu Wei did it on purpose, deliberately slowing down her and Shen Yutong's song progress, and then deliberately arranging for several contestants who were sure to beat the AI ​​to be placed before them.

She repeatedly gave people the illusion that her song was about to be stolen, but each time the other person didn't choose it, just to make Shen Yutong anxious.

Holy crap, how could Yu Wei be so mean?

"That's a wicked sense of humor, I like it."

Qi Luoan thought he was bad enough, but he didn't expect there were still experts who used songs as cat toys, huh?

Shen Yutong: You two are a scoundrel!
Of course, jokes shouldn't go too far, and she would still explain things clearly to her best friend, although it was indeed quite amusing to see Yu Tong crying like that.

Honestly, Yu Weike didn't think that way. He was just arranging the matches in order. You can't rush and cut in line.

After the afternoon's recording began, Chi Leying's gaze towards Yu Wei noticeably changed. So it turned out he was the one who gave her nemesis the advice...

This tactic, though unorthodox, has a high chance of success. Tong Yulu's singing skills aren't much better than AI's, and AI also has the advantage of a new song. Under these circumstances, it's indeed difficult to win using conventional methods.

Either release a higher-quality song to defeat the AI ​​head-on, or hire a powerful external helper like she did. Alternatively, there's Tong Yulu's strategy.

To achieve abstraction that AI cannot.

Without a doubt, this third method is more suitable for Tong Yulu, after all, she really has an abstract talent and can learn it in no time.

Chi Leying was at a loss for words, unsure whether to laugh or cry. She had put in a lot of effort to persuade Teacher Zhong to come out of retirement, but Yu Wei had solved the problem with ease.

But she really couldn't use this trick, because she wasn't abstract enough... It's a talent, something you can't learn, and besides, she had to save face.

"Come help me set the tone during music class later."

There's no hope of getting Yu Wei to help her take the lead, but Chi Leying can still manage to create some entertainment value by partnering with him.

"I'm a Chinese language teacher."

Yu Wei had little experience teaching music, but she remembered learning in class before, "The sun in the west is about to set, and Weishan Lake is quiet."

He remembered it because a few of his buddies in class sang so enthusiastically that they practically blew the roof off; they were all old-timers from the Railway Guerrilla.

"In the music field, you are still the most authoritative."

This was indeed Chi Leying's honest opinion. "Besides, the kids in the class all like you, and they behave better when you're around."

If it were a teammate, Yu Wei would definitely be reliable. It was also her first time taking a music class, and although she had watched a lot of online classes, she was still unsure of herself.

She couldn't handle the children, but Yu Wei could at least act as a pillar of stability.

"Alright, I'll just consider it a rebirth into fifth grade."

The production team definitely supports Yu Wei going to sit in on the program. Even if he's just there as a mascot, viewers will love seeing him on screen.

Five minutes before class started, Yu Wei followed Chi Leying to the door of Class 3, and coincidentally, they ran into the leaders who were observing the class that morning.

"What are you..."

"just looking around."

Yu Wei couldn't help but look down. "You're just casually looking around, right? If you're going to listen to a lecture, then listen to a lecture. What's there to hide?"
How could they not hide it? To be honest, they were a little scared by Yu Wei this morning. They thought they would be fine in the music class this afternoon, since Chi Leying seemed easy to talk to. Who would have thought that Yu Wei would come along too?

"It's okay, everyone can listen together."

Yu Wei's words did sound quite authoritative. The leaders exchanged glances, and then they knew what else to say but to just listen to the lecture quietly.

Chi Leying didn't say anything. In this situation, the pressure of having acquaintances present was obviously different from not having acquaintances present. Calling him over was definitely the right thing to do. The students were quite surprised to see Yu Wei come to listen to the class, and they would turn around from time to time to see what he was doing.

Not only because he is a celebrity, but also because everyone's liking for Yu Wei increased significantly during this morning's Chinese class. Children know who is good to them, they just don't know how to express it.

Chi Leying had indeed prepared a lot. She first taught the students to recognize some simple musical notes, something many half-hearted music classes don't even teach.

"The half note is like an old man, walking slowly and with a long duration, walking~ walking~, while the quarter note is like a child walking, walking and walking."

Chi Leying's voice was gentle and patient, and she was good at giving examples. She praised Yu Wei regardless of whether the answer was right or wrong. Yu Wei felt like she was being coaxed into becoming an embryo.

Teacher Chi, are you really not considering becoming a teacher?

After explaining musical notes for a few minutes, Chi Leying started explaining rhythm, using clapping and stomping to help students feel it, creating a great classroom atmosphere.

The photographer naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity and quickly captured the moment, which was exactly the effect the production team wanted to achieve.

The rhythm exercises and games lasted for more than twenty minutes before Chi Leying clapped to stop them and restore order to the classroom, before moving on to the final song request segment.

Her non-celebrity guest, Teacher Xiao Bei, does this job all the time. The children can listen to whatever they want, and a class is over after listening to a few songs.

Today, Chi Leying also requested songs, but instead of using the all-in-one machine, she sang them for her classmates herself.

Firstly, it can enhance the classroom atmosphere and the program's effect; secondly, it can strengthen the relationship between teachers and students and showcase Chi Leying's approachable side.

Finally, she also took the opportunity to showcase her musical abilities to the audience, maintain her popularity, and expand her fanbase.

Ultimately, Chi Leying's actions are driven by self-interest.

Actually, this step is very risky. After all, students can easily come up with all sorts of song requests. If she can't sing the ones that are too difficult or too obscure, wouldn't that be counterproductive?

This is where Chi Leying's cleverness lies; she specifically called Yu Wei over, and there was another reason behind it.

The students liked him a lot. The kids were eager to perform, and when Yu Wei was around, they would spontaneously vie to request his songs...

Yu Wei's singing style is familiar to many, and with Yu Wei present, the show's effect will definitely be enhanced, making it easier for the show to go viral.

Her meticulous planning and thoughtfulness were evident in just one lesson.

Yu Wei belatedly realized that he was somewhat impressed by this cunning; he himself hadn't suffered any loss, so he decided to play along and pretend not to see it.

Sure enough, as soon as the song request session started, someone requested "A Person Like Me". Kids these days actually like to listen to such profound songs?

Chi Leying certainly didn't sing the whole song; she just sang a short chorus. Her voice was clear, her technique was good enough, and her performance was quite outstanding.

The second song was also his song, the latest one, "Peach Blossom Promise." The kid still has too much of a desire to perform, so he wanted to say something different from others.

Chi Leying had also practiced this song, and a few simple lines were no problem for her. With her heartfelt singing, the classroom atmosphere gradually reached a climax.

The photographer was grinning from ear to ear. This was exactly what they wanted to shoot! They should have invited Chi Leying earlier; she knew exactly how to create a good show!

Song requests came one after another, mostly Yu Wei's works, with the occasional other song that Chi Leying could also handle.

Music class has almost become Yu Wei's private show. Even when someone tries to disrupt the class by playing the piano piece "Castle in the Sky," Chi Leying can hum a few lines, showing her full expressiveness.

However, as the music class came to an end, the frequency of students requesting songs slowed down significantly. Yu Wei had requested almost all the songs, and the children couldn't think of any others for the time being.

"Teacher, is there anything we haven't heard of before?"

The girl cautiously raised her hand, seemingly wanting to fulfill just a small wish.

When she said she hadn't heard a song before, she wasn't referring to just any unfamiliar song, but rather to Yu Wei's other songs, since they had just been discussing this topic.

"This teacher isn't quite sure."

Actually, there were a few more songs that the students hadn't mentioned, but Chi Leying understood what the little girl meant and didn't make any decisions on her own.

The question seems to be directed at her, but it's actually directed at Yu Wei. The children know that Yu Wei is a great singer, but since she's a teacher and doesn't sing, they feel like something's missing.

Especially after being moved by Chi Leying's performance, everyone has such a high level of goodwill towards Yu Wei, so they definitely want to hear some of his original singing.

The production team tactfully switched the camera to give Yu Wei a close-up, saying, "Come on, as the king of kids, you can't just hide it away, can you?"

Everyone says Yu Wei likes Tibetan songs, so I'm going to bring out some of my stockpiled ones today.

"This……"

Yu Wei slowly stood up, seemingly seeking Chi Leying's opinion, since this was, after all, her home turf, and she shouldn't overstep her bounds.

Chi Leying was about to say it was nothing when the bell rang, so she changed her mind and smiled, "It's not my class anymore, so feel free to do whatever you want. Just consider it a way to wrap up the music class."

Although get out of class had ended, the eyes of the forty-odd children were wide open, and Yu Wei really couldn't refuse.

He usually writes and sings a song at a time, but there are still songs he hasn't performed before, such as "Blue Lotus" and "Hill".

These two songs, well, they sound a bit melancholic, and their style clearly doesn't fit the current atmosphere; they're not really appropriate for the occasion.

How about singing some songs that weren't written in the novel?
The idea sounded crazy at first glance, and it really was crazy, but Yu Wei still had a bit of confidence in it.

As the number of songs mastered increased, the intersecting lines formed a network, eventually creating a few small knots.

He might not have an epiphany overnight, but with more practice, the technique will gradually become second nature, and his musical level and singing skills will definitely improve.

Now, he can at least sing some simple songs without any problem. Simple songs are easy to sing, and he can remember the lyrics even without reciting them.

"Then I'll just sing a little song on the spot."

He decided to take a bold step and give it a try.

Even if he didn't sing well, given his current reputation, there would surely be great scholars who would defend him and interpret it as him deliberately singing like that to connect with the children.

If you succeed, everything you say will be right, and there's nothing to worry about.

No one knew what Yu Wei meant by "singing off the cuff," so they could only wait expectantly for him to speak.

Hearing his new song on such an occasion is definitely a bonus, and it's very memorable.

Yu Wei recalled a simple elementary school song from 86, which was very fitting for the occasion and perfect for summarizing.

Please give me my song
Take it home

Please leave your smile behind...
