Chapter 217: Did you manage to get my group name?

The onlookers were originally planning to leave after seeing the change in singers, but when they saw Yu Wei's unfamiliar song title, they decided to wait and see.

No, this doesn't fit your persona!
If we're talking about Yu Wei's two most stable character settings, one is that he flops, and the other is that he spoils his own work in advance in the novel.

The latter, in particular, has been very well received in the European market and has been jokingly referred to by local netizens as a "murder prophecy".

What's wrong with revealing it in advance? Those who deserve to be killed still have to be killed...

Now they're launching a sneak attack without revealing their true colors. This isn't just inconsistent with their character; it's like a complete collapse of their persona. Who will fill the void of anticipation left by the readers?
Several important figures in the VIP seats were aware of the situation. They were very concerned about the guest's mishap and were satisfied with the handling of the matter. The audience would definitely accept having Yu Wei fill in.

Saving someone from a crisis sounds simple, but it can easily attract criticism if not handled properly.

The simplest principle is that if you want to replace a controversial artist, the person who replaces them must not be controversial.

The act of replacing someone inherently involves comparison. If you replace someone with poor character and then put someone with a scandal on the job, wouldn't that be contradicting yourself?
Yu Wei has a clean background, which is actually the point that the higher-ups value most about him. Apart from writing novels, there is nothing else to criticize about him.

Although his novel shows signs of being planned, there are no major problems at the moment. Having him fill in is not only the best solution for the concert, but also the best solution for the relevant departments.

I just don't know how his song is, "We Are a Loving Family," it sounds quite family-friendly...

The noisy crowd receded like the tide, the last whispers fading away. Pure light shone on the center of the stage, and a familiar figure slowly walked to the microphone.

Yu Wei, it's him again.

The same person made the same entrance, even without changing his costume, but Yu Wei looked different from an hour ago.

In stark contrast to the uplifting spirit of "Red Sun," he appeared quiet and sincere at this moment.

Yu Wei nodded slightly in acknowledgment. The melody quietly began to play. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to draw upon the emotional reserves deep within his heart.

This song focuses more on emotion than technique. The atmosphere is already quite lively, so there's no need for him to pull off the same tricks as before. This song needs to return to its essence.

"I love coming home to a warm, inviting light waiting for me."
I love waking up to everyone's smiling faces.

Judging from the song title, one might expect it to be a joyful family reunion song for the Spring Festival, but the opening of Yu Wei's new song is surprisingly lighthearted, an atmosphere that doesn't seem to be associated with any holiday.

Since when has family reunion become a bonus of holidays? When we talk about family reunion, we think of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the beginning of the new year. But home is always there. We don’t have to think of embracing it only under a specific moonlight.

This is also one of the reasons why Yu Wei chose "A Loving Family".

There are many songs about family reunion, but most of them are tied to holidays, so playing them at a concert would definitely diminish their effectiveness and make them less suitable.

He wanted a reunion song that could be integrated into daily life, something that could be listened to anytime, anywhere.

So he came up with this song, which is widely used as a group name.

"I like to go out and work hard for my family and my ideals."
I love my family, our hearts all looking in the same direction.

Yu Wei's clear voice flowed into the hearts of every audience member like spring water. Everyone could clearly feel that this time he was not showing off his skills, but only intended to conquer everyone with the song itself.

If the risky approach to success in "Red Sun" reflects his confidence in his singing skills, then the steady approach to success in this song reflects his confidence in his songwriting abilities.

Because the song is unhurried and unhurried, the audience has the time to listen and experience it at the same time.

The performance of "Red Sun" was so exciting from beginning to end that no one had time to savor it. Now, "We Are a Loving Family" fills that gap perfectly.

Yu Wei's opening sentences are all written in the first person using parallel sentence structure. Whether it is the light and smiles, the hard work and the gazing into the distance, they are all delicately depicting the warm and ordinary daily life.

The concept of family reunion is difficult to describe in detail, but he concretizes family warmth into tangible life moments, which is a very clever technique. It not only makes the images more vivid but also enhances the audience's sense of immersion.

The lyrical and popular style of the music is like a spoken conversation, which can easily draw the audience in.

"Give me your opinion?"

Meng Han teased Lin Puyan, whose brows were furrowed into a deep frown. Just these few words were probably enough to make the old man sweat...

"Even a well-written passage needs to be brought to a close at the end. It looks like the next few sentences will follow the same pattern. If it doesn't come together properly, it will become too scattered."

"Look again."

As a true critic and a sharp commentator in the music industry, Lin Puyan's views on issues are always insightful.

The design of this verse simulates a family gathering and singing together. Although each line is vivid and descriptive, if they don't come together in the end, it will be a mess.

Meng Han smiled upon hearing this. He wouldn't argue with others if they questioned Yu Wei's singing skills, since singing skills depend on one's state of mind. But if they questioned Yu Wei's songwriting ability, then he would really have a good chat with him.

You probably haven't experienced the despair of having a guest perform a new song every single episode...

I like to share my happiness with you right away.

I like to think of your warm embrace when I'm hurt.

As if responding to Lin Puyan's expectations, Yu Wei continues to lay out the details in an orderly manner, creating another scene of life, but elevating the mundane daily life to a higher level, transitioning to the personal emotional dimension.

There are six scenes in a row, covering a wide range of topics, but the more diverse the scenes, the harder it is to bring them back together.

Despite his critical review, Lin Puyan didn't expect Yu Wei's song to be a flop. On the contrary, he was quite curious about what kind of climax Yu Wei would use to set the tone for the whole song.

Even though everyone is reunited, we can't just keep doing things haphazardly; we need to integrate the efforts.

These are things that musicians can't see, and the audience can vaguely sense them while listening to the song. It sounds good, but it doesn't feel quite like the other reunion songs that were performed on the same stage earlier.

Someone who didn't know better might think this song was on the wrong track... We've already laid out six lines, it's about time for the climax, right?

But Yu Wei remained calm and composed, and then delivered two more short lines with simple accompaniment, which made his voice sound very textured.

"When I'm angry, I think about how great it is that you always tolerate me."

I love bringing back wonderful memories for you when I travel.

There were a total of eight scenes, which left everyone a bit confused. The details were indeed detailed, but it would be difficult to encompass them all together.

Not to mention the audience who were completely kept in the dark, Qi Luoan didn't expect the song to have been built up for so long. When Yu Wei told her the message, he only said it was a progression of life scenes, but who would have thought it would take eight sentences.

She couldn't help but hold her breath, wanting to hear what Yu Wei had come up with.

As the song enters the chorus, Yu Wei's voice gradually intensifies, and her emotions become more full. The melody and rhythm of the band accompaniment rise and intensify, which is particularly noticeable.

"Because we are family"
A loving family
It takes fate to meet
You will cherish it if you have the heart.
Why let dark clouds obscure our vision?

Something's not right, something's not right. The moment this sentence came out, Lin Puyan felt something was off. It was too fitting. The ending was so smooth that it seemed like it was meant to be.

By concluding individual monologues with a collective declaration, highlighting the significance of the family as an emotional community, this approach is not hard to guess.

But he didn't expect Yu Wei to do so well. The word "because" was brilliant. It not only connected all the previous monologues, but also answered the questions in their hearts.

A home can embrace everything, because it is a family that can accept everything that comes before it. It's that simple.

The phrase "Because we are a family, a loving family" seems to have a magical power. From the melody to the lyrics, it is imprinted in everyone's mind after hearing it, and cannot be forgotten even if they want to.

This lyric is so simple and straightforward that it has a sense of profound simplicity.

The monologue is like a whisper, the concluding section is like a declaration, and the emotional outburst in the chorus is just right, not only focusing on the theme but also enhancing the sense of ritual.

This passage, taken alone, is just a memorable chorus, but when you put it together, it's amazing. The more Lin Puyan listens to it, the more uncomfortable he feels, but when he thinks about it, it's also very clever.

As a musician, this song is breathtakingly beautiful, but as a guest performer on the same stage, he felt like dying...

"We're all family, how could this kid be so ruthless?"

"Who's family with you?"

Meng Han felt embarrassed for him after hearing this. So, he resorts to this tactic because he can't win a fight...

The old man actually took it seriously, even though it was just a song he sang.

Meng Han misunderstood Lin Puyan. In addition to the theme of family harmony and reunion, the song does indeed have a universal appeal to the idea that "all men are brothers."

Netizens listen to the melody, singers appreciate the nuances, but those on the other end of the line are looking at the overall scope of the song.

No matter how scattered the verses may be, they can all be brought together with the phrase "We are one family." This is simply the common sentiment of both sides of the Taiwan Strait. To put it bluntly, aren't we all one family?
Is there any more suitable phrase as the theme of a concert?
The most brilliant line is the following one, "Why let dark clouds obscure our vision?" That's right, how can a family let dark clouds cloud their view!

So, who is that dark cloud?

This kind of double entendre is far more effective than an overt call to action; it's subtle and pervasive, and its meaning is often implied rather than explicitly stated.

Today's concert, Yu Wei's every single detail, is exactly what they were thinking. That kid is truly a remarkable person.

The VIPs in the audience loved the song no matter how they listened to it, and even setting aside the association with "reunion," the song itself was excellent.

It's music first, then slogans; that's what they want most. If they just pieced together slogans into a song, they would be putting the cart before the horse.

Yu Wei's performance was not over yet. After throwing out this finishing touch, the climax followed one after another. The core sentence was repeated four times in a row, pushing the sense of ceremony to its climax step by step.

Hearing it once left a deep impression, let alone hearing it four times. Yu Wei's gaze swept across the audience, his eyes filled with a sincere invitation.

He gently raised his hand, making a tiny guiding gesture, and the audience immediately understood and began to sing along.

At first, there were only a few scattered sounds, but they quickly coalesced into a powerful wave of sound.

"Because we are a family, a loving family."

What else is there to say? Let's just sing! We're all one big family!

There are generally two types of reunion songs on the market: one is joyful and cheerful, and the other is deeply moving. But Yu Wei's song is neither of those. He has woven family affection into everyday life.

Family affection is a theme that is easy to evoke emotions and sadness. This is the usual theme in evening programs, and people have become numb to it after a while.

Tonight's concert featured the same routine for all the singers in the reunion segment, which left netizens confused. Why do they keep bringing up the tears when they're singing a song?

Yu Wei handled the same topic with such ease and comfort that everyone was naturally quite satisfied.

While those watching the live stream online weren't singing along, they were busy with something else: changing the name of their family group chat...

"A loving family" is not only auspicious, but also coincides with the popularity of Yu Wei's new song, making it a perfect group name.

In addition, many older people like this style, so after Yu Wei finished singing a song, he gave everyone a group name to sing.

Overnight, countless family groups called "A Loving Family" appeared across the country.
