Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 223 Yu Wei, you did a great job!

"Xiao Yu, what's the meaning of this Japanese song?"

Although the production team only provided a few rehearsal clips, Chen Jinyi seemed to like the melody, which is why she asked this question.

She still likes to read the lyrics when listening to foreign language songs, even if she doesn't understand them, at least she can figure out what the song means.

Many foreign language songs are very popular in China, with catchy and well-known melodies, but when you look at the lyrics, they are all vulgar and tasteless.

Qi Luoan and Qi Yuan also wanted to ask this question. Although they were both there at the time, to be honest, they didn't understand the Japanese song.

"Auntie, this song is about motherly love."

"To the Future" is told from a first-person perspective, depicting a daughter's journey from rebellion to understanding her mother, which is completely different in theme from the Chinese version, "Later".

There was no translator during rehearsals, but the production team will still provide subtitles during the actual performance. "Music Blind Box" isn't such a shoddy production.

Yu Wei just replied casually, but to them it sounded a bit off: maternal love, so that's what this song is about?

There's nothing wrong with the song itself; he's free to sing whatever he wants on the show. But the fact that it's a song about maternal love at this particular time... it just feels like it has a hidden meaning...

Anyone who didn't know better would think Yu Wei put together a song as a greeting gift to test the waters, but it turns out he's trying to change his tune.

Although the show was filmed a few weeks ago, the broadcast time can be calculated. It's not impossible that he was planning this all along.

Qi Luoan couldn't help but glance at Yu Wei a few more times. Could this kid be pretending to be ignorant, deliberately carrying two bottles of milk and acting stupid, waiting for his true pledge on the show?
If only that were the case! She could work even harder and win over her parents' approval so they could hold the wedding banquet the very next day.

Yu Wei, you did a great job!
Qi Yuan thought he had successfully disrupted things, but he didn't expect there to be another expert. This is what musicians are like; they start building their favorability half a month in advance.

What kind of spell did my little sister cast on Yu Wei to make him go to such lengths to please our mother?

Despite our best efforts to prevent it, we still couldn't stop it. How infuriating!

Qi Yunming had only one thought in mind: What about mine?
You're only singing about maternal love and not paternal love, right? You can't be biased. He may not care about these things, but what the mother has, the father doesn't. Who can stand that?

Actually, they were all overthinking it. Yu Wei brought out this song simply to make dumplings for the appearance of "Later".

The amateur contestant I was drawn to be from Japan happened to be a Japanese person, and she sang the original song along with it, which was perfect.

"Come and watch it together."

Chen Jinyi smiled subtly upon hearing this. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, since she had come across this, she might as well give it a listen. She wasn't someone who could be fooled by just any song.

Seriously, haven't they been washing the dishes for way too long? By now, they've almost finished washing all the dishes from a Manchu Han Imperial Feast...

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei exchanged a glance with Qi Luoan, quickly washed his hands, and sat down, pretending that nothing had happened.

In fact, Qi Luoan's expression was obviously a little strange, but everyone's attention was diverted by Yu Wei's timely song, so no one noticed.

"By the way, do you really know martial arts?"

Qi Yunming suddenly remembered the scene of the physical education class on the show earlier. Yu Wei's movements were very standard and left a deep impression on people.

Although he had never made a kung fu movie, he knew a little about it. Could it be that Yu Wei's kung fu movie script was for real?

"I can learn."

With high emotional intelligence, she said that she could learn what she didn't know. In fact, Yu Wei had already mastered it, but at this time she definitely had to put on a gradual and progressive appearance.

Asking questions means you're learning; don't ask what level you're at.

Qi Yunming didn't say it, but he felt more respect for Yu Wei. She actually learned a skill for the script he wrote casually. Her professional attitude was truly commendable.

The performance officially began, and when the program team arranged for Yu Wei to be the first to appear, the comments section became noticeably more active.

The hype surrounding the concert hasn't died down yet, and netizens have an exceptionally high level of goodwill towards Yu Wei, naturally leading to high expectations for his new song.

Another group shared the same thought as the audience at the time: Yu Wei rarely starts a match and prefers to play with his backhand, so they didn't know how effective it would be.

Seeing the comments praising the show's production team's arrangements, Qi Luoan just wanted to laugh. He must be regretting this episode of "Music Blind Box" to the core.

Just as Yu Wei had guessed, the production team did indeed provide bilingual subtitles for Rio Sakura's performance, and there was even a scrolling summary of the lyrics at the bottom of the screen.

The taste is right. I used to hear this segment on foreign language songs on TV, and I never expected him to use it.

Rio Sakuratani's voice was gentle and clear, which surprised Chen Jinyi. Her singing skills were quite impressive...

She suddenly remembered what she had just said. Her own daughter seemed to be inferior to others; her singing skills were clearly not comparable. She had spoken too soon.

Although there is a translation, the first few sentences are still a bit hard to understand. What about the future underfoot? It's not clear at the moment how they relate to maternal love.

However, the melody of the song is really nice. If it could be adapted into a Chinese song, it would probably be very popular.

“My mother gave me so much warmth. She told me to move forward with love. At that time, I was young and ignorant. She held my hand and we walked together to where we are today.”

Seemingly in response to Chen Jinyi and the others' confusion, lyrics about memories of their mothers quickly appeared on the screen.

These few lines seem unremarkable due to the translation, but when paired with a simple and gentle melody, they still manage to move the audience.

That's the power of music; even with simple, descriptive content, a good melody can still immerse you in it.

Chen Jinyi thought the song was praising maternal love, but the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she felt, and even felt inexplicably sad.

As you listen further, you realize that the song expresses a daughter's guilt towards her mother, frankly admitting her lack of understanding of her mother when she was young, and regretting it deeply later.

Rebellion is basically in the nature of every teenager, and this contradictory mentality easily resonates with listeners, especially young people who have left home to pursue their dreams. "But then again..."

Chen Jinyi couldn't help but look at Qi Luoan. Speaking of this rebellious woman and her daughter, shouldn't someone say something?

"Why are you looking at me? I'm being very good."

These remarks drew contempt from everyone, including Yu Wei. They had never seen a well-behaved girl call her mother "Little Chen."

Qi Yuan listened with increasing joy. Yu Wei's song was indeed praising maternal love, but it was also a daughter's "self-reproach edict".

Wow, I almost thought Yu Wei had been bewitched by Qi Luoan and wanted to write a song to please his mother, but I didn't expect him to choose this moment to deliver a heavy blow to his little sister.

The song's portrayal of a daughter's guilt and gratitude towards her mother acts like a mirror, reflecting her ugly behavior.

Yu Wei, you did a great job!
I almost misunderstood you, brother. That's right. Yu Wei is his chosen future star. How could he be bewitched by Qi Luoan?

He risked his life to rid the people of evil; only someone with that kind of courage deserves to be called his brother.

In the latter half of the song, Rio Sakuratani's singing, combined with the lyrics, became even more moving.

The line, "That kind of gentle kindness sometimes makes me hate it. If I leave, I will definitely listen to my mother," directly expressed her guilt and resonated with many viewers.

People often hurt the people who care about them the most because of trivial matters and their own willfulness.

When the familiar melody played again, some sentimental netizens felt a lump in their throats; this song was almost unfair.

Yu Wei was still the same pastor, wielding the "gentle knife" technique with unparalleled skill; his combo punches were increasingly unpleasant to listen to.

At the end of the song, Chen Jinyi finally understood that the footsteps and future mentioned at the beginning of the song were not unrelated to maternal love, but rather indirectly confirmed the eternal companionship of maternal love.

No matter how rugged the road ahead may be, there is always light in the future, and the warmth of a mother's hand is already imprinted on her palm.

She's not exactly sentimental, but this song still moved her, not only because it was about maternal love, but also because it was about her daughter.

Chen Jinyi was once that disobedient daughter, so the feeling brought about by this change in identity is particularly profound, and she also greatly appreciates it.

If Yu Weizhen only wrote about maternal love, she would feel that the boy was "flattering" her. The daughter's perspective is the highlight of the song.

It wasn't until the whole song was played that everyone realized, "Wasn't Yu Wei on stage with us? Why didn't he sing?"

This is where the show's editing shines. When Rio Sakuratani was performing this song live, almost the entire audience was watching Yu Wei. He only played the guitar and didn't sing, which made everyone feel quite uncomfortable.

However, in the main program, the production team didn't even give Yu Wei any screen time, but gave Sakura Rio a lot of close-ups.

With the lyrics translation and their general meaning attracting attention, they almost forgot Yu Wei was on stage.

It wasn't until Yu Wei stood up after the song ended that they realized the kid hadn't uttered a single word the entire time.

This doesn't make sense. The host clearly announced it was a chorus, but this Japanese song didn't even have any harmonies.

"What are you doing?"

Qi Yunming never expected Yu Wei to act like this. He must have truly mastered his skills, not singing a single line and just slacking off.

"Don't worry, just watch it."

Qi Yuan couldn't resist giving away spoilers; he had to stand up for his good brother.

"Yes, don't worry, just watch."

Qi Luo'an echoed his agreement, and the brother and sister reached a rare consensus, which surprised both Qi Yunming and Chen Jinyi.

This kid is really something else. Not only does he make his daughter unable to forget him, but he can even get his own son to travel thousands of miles back...

The next second after their hesitation, Yu Wei raised the microphone, and the scrolling lyrics at the bottom of the screen disappeared, replaced by new song information.

"Later" is a song that starts abruptly, seemingly illogical. At first, everyone is confused, but then they understand the meaning the moment they hear the intro.

The melody was too familiar because they had just heard it before, so Yu Wei's two songs are one song with two lyrics?
"She also needs a mother's love."

Human emotions have a threshold. Just now, when we listened to Rio Sakuratani sing, everyone was moved and felt emotional. Our emotions have been almost exhausted.

Chen Jinyi is, after all, a host, and she understands the audience. No matter how well Yu Wei sings, the audience won't be moved.

She thought this to herself, but nodded with satisfaction when she heard the first line of the song.

"Later I finally learned how to love."

Unfortunately, you've long since gone and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

The song that the production team had kept hidden all episode was finally revealed. When Yu Wei sang the first line of the song with deep emotion, the audience realized something was wrong.

In the Chinese version, instead of singing about family affection and gratitude, he started singing about the regrets of love, right? That's something they didn't expect.

"I didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve."

Chen Jinyi cast an admiring glance at Yu Wei, while Qi Luoan rubbed his hands together shyly upon hearing this.

Yes, they definitely had something up their sleeve.
