Chapter 257 Catching a Good Fish

As the audience listened to the loud children's voices on the screen, they felt as if they were being manipulated by Yu Wei...

This song is so good, you could have just gone through the proper process and sung it properly, but instead you started with this ear-piercing, jarring sound. Isn't that just deliberately torturing people?

Slapping someone and then giving them a sweet treat, is that what you call PUA? Only those who can withstand the devastating first verse deserve to listen to this song.

They avoided the first part like the plague, but as the second verse arrived, everyone truly came to know the meaning of "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

This song is incredibly versatile, and its themes cover a wide range of topics. The music scene hasn't seen such a comprehensive song in a long time...

After the children's choir finished singing, Yu Wei, a true professional, finally came out and steadily took over the third leg of the performance.

His singing ability goes without saying. Audiences who ran away immediately after hearing Tian Jun's opening performance would never have imagined that the song would turn out like this later on.

Yu Wei's performance brought the song's realistic concerns and emotional tension to their peak. While I wouldn't say it was completely captivating, many listeners were certainly drawn in. The song's quality is indeed high.

The lyrics express a prayer for peace while also confronting real-world problems such as war, famine, and ecological crisis.

Just in terms of scale, ordinary Chinese songs simply can't compare.

The phrase "The appearance of migratory birds brings famine and relentless war from afar" directly uses the migration of birds as a metaphor for the interconnectedness of global suffering, linking individual fate with the human community.

How many years has it been since we've seen such profound musical works in China?

Moreover, Yu Wei's song is not just about "grand narratives"; it also does not neglect personal emotional nuances.

"Youth is ignorant of the world, and rouge is stained with dust" reveals the confusion and compromise in growing up, while "Let the long-lost tears moisten your face" conveys healing and hope, forming a balance of sorrow without being tragic.

By focusing on the small and then returning to the individual, the narrative loop of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" completes from individual awakening to collective action, and is indeed everyone's tomorrow.

When Yu Wei finished singing her heartfelt song but it still hadn't ended, the audience immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

And there's more after that?
It's clear to anyone with eyes that Yu Wei's stage performances this time are all about "one mountain higher than another," with each performance better than the last.

But Yu Weigang's performance was already good enough. If we only consider the singing of this song, even if Chen Ping were alive, he probably couldn't sing it as well as him. Who else can follow in his footsteps?
The answer is no. Yu Wei's mastery of this song is the most perfect; no one can surpass him.

So this final performance wasn't led by one person, but by a group of people.

Yu Wei brought in a truckload of bread sellers to add to the final chorus. As familiar and unfamiliar voices rang out one after another, the audience finally understood the most exquisite part of the song.

This song is perfect for a duet. The lyrics, written with delicate strokes, are easy to break down into individual lines, each person contributing a line as a call to action or a cry for help, together leading to the phrase "tomorrow will be better."

No wonder Yu Wei chose the name "All Stars" for the singer of this song in the novel; he had it all planned out.

Unfortunately, the event happened so suddenly that Yu Wei managed to snag too few celebrities for free. If the authorities had brought in a large group of people for a grand concert, it would have been much more impressive.

Let's look forward to a better tomorrow...

The song came to a close with Yu Weizhen's heartfelt vocals. The song was so powerful that many people were still reeling from the experience.

The opening part of the performance was so bad it made everyone want to curse, but after patiently listening to the whole song, it was absolutely divine, truly divine.

When have I ever had any disagreements with Consort Yu?

Besides the stage design that emphasizes "one mountain is higher than another," having Tian Jun's raspy voice at the beginning is also a process of breaking down and reconstructing.

After shattering all expectations, scrutiny, and analysis, the subsequent three stages were all about reconstructing the audiovisual experience of the song.

The final chorus of stars was undoubtedly necessary, because the most outstanding aspect of this song is the timelessness of the spirit of the times.

One person cannot interpret an era; it takes a group of people to.

No one knows whether tomorrow will be better, but as the lyrics say, "Let's look forward to a better tomorrow."

This expectation itself is the most beautiful attitude towards life.

The release of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" has sparked widespread discussion. The last time Yu Wei's work received so much attention was "A Loving Family".

Music critic Jin Jun pointed out that the song elevates Chinese pop music "from personal feelings to the level of social responsibility," proving that pop music can become a vehicle for social concern.

Although it may be a bit of an exaggeration, through this song, people seem to see Yu Wei's leadership qualities.

This child might become a true leader...

"Yes, I'm here to overturn this chaotic world."

Yu Wei reluctantly got up from his knees. The netizens were all too boastful, even more so than him, a novelist. Here's the pen, you take it.
"You are Zhao Zilong?"

Qi Luoan rubbed her legs. They weren't uncomfortable when she was using them as a pillow, but they felt noticeably stiff after she got up. It seemed she still needed to practice.

"I am caviar."

It's getting late, isn't this...?

Qi Luoan paid no attention to this, seemingly having no concept of time and no notice of the obvious darkening outside the window.

Of course she did it on purpose. She's already here, so what's wrong with taking a night's rest? With a resurrection item, she's bound to play aggressively.

"Let me show you, an epic face-changing transformation."

Qi Luoan showed a screenshot of Zhou Mumu's super topic from a few minutes ago. Their comments were so interesting that they didn't even need to act anymore.

"I'm dying of laughter, Yu Wei's song backfired on the show."

"If you ask me, he deserves it. He acts like he's so great just because he can write songs. He was bound to fail sooner or later." "It's so awful I want to die. Is this Yu Wei's true level? (winking face) (winking face)"

Tian Jun's disastrous performance immediately attracted their attention. Although they knew it was a problem with an amateur's performance, they still had to laugh at him.

Does Yu Wei not make any mistakes at all?
They're happy as long as those they dislike get their comeuppance; they're good at kicking someone when they're down.

And then...and then they stopped posting anything new, and the comment section, which had been buzzing with discussion, also stopped updating.

The gloating lasted too short a time; after that, everyone fell silent, seemingly enjoying the laughter.

If the tenth episode hadn't been filmed a month earlier, Qi Luoan would have almost suspected that Yu Wei was setting up a trap, since he actually managed to catch a few haters.

They weren't even willing to drag the progress bar...

"No wonder Lao Qi likes you. You're a great fisherman. How could the Air Force guy not be envious?"

Qi Luoan didn't forget to tease her father. Although being harassed by fan groups is not a good thing, with this song, they should be able to calm down for a while.

That's how the entertainment industry is—it's all about promoting the famous and suppressing the wicked. If you're famous enough, the haters will back down; if you're powerful enough, they might even speak up for you.

The tenth episode is officially coming to an end, and the final credits will feature a preview of next week's live broadcast for 10,000 viewers, inviting everyone to watch on time.

Yu Wei usually turned off the music after listening to it, but today Qi Luoan refused to leave, so he patiently watched the whole movie.

Even after the progress bar reached zero, Qi Luoan still showed no intention of leaving, sitting there pretending not to know anything.

Aren't you going home?

Qi Luoan shook her head, as if trying to find a reason for her actions. She glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "Winter is coming soon, and it will be cold at night."

It's only a ten-minute walk, why are you cold? Just say you don't want to walk...

Yu Wei didn't expose her. Let her stay if she wants. Anyway, she's been quite safe lately, so there's nothing wrong with her staying overnight.

"Do as you please, I'm going to take a shower."

He had sweated a lot while practicing singing, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't take a shower. He didn't treat Qi Luoan like an outsider at all, and went into the bathroom as soon as he took off his coat.

What does it mean?
Qi Luoan felt that Yu Wei was tempting him. He had better lock the door, otherwise he might push it open and go in to take a look...

The sound of water filled the air, and her gaze unconsciously lingered on the frosted glass door, her thoughts beginning to wander uncontrollably.

She involuntarily, as if drawn by something, quietly moved to the bathroom door and held her breath to listen.

The sound of water became even more vivid, as if it carried warmth, and the misty water vapor seemed to seep through the cracks in the door.

What is she doing...?

Qi Luoan felt a strong urge in his lower body, forcibly suppressed his curiosity, and obediently sat back down on the sofa.

Should I take a shower before resting?
Just as she was lost in thought, a cell phone ring startled her awake. Qi Luoan felt embarrassed as she came to her senses. She had already imagined the water-saving shower session, so who would call at this hour?

She took out her phone and realized that the call wasn't addressed to her; it was Yu Wei's phone ringing next to her.

Qi Luoan leaned over to take a look, thinking it was his agent, Sister Liu, or someone else, but the number was actually saved as Ye Laodeng.

The man Yu Wei referred to as Old Man Ye was none other than her maternal uncle, Ye Shengyu…

The thought of answering the phone only crossed her mind for a moment before she dismissed it. If it were a call to her, she would have answered, but would it be appropriate for her to answer a call to Yu Wei?

What's more, it's this time of day. If she picks up the old man, he might misunderstand. Even if it's already quite suggestive, she can't just tell everyone everything.

Let's just pretend we didn't see it.

As soon as she sat back down, the phone rang again. It was Ye Shengyu calling, and he seemed rather persistent.

What's going on? Why the rush? Qi Luo'an was starting to wonder if she'd been exposed. Her uncle was calling her repeatedly, trying to persuade her to turn back...

It seems Yu Wei joined some kind of musicians' association; maybe it's for work purposes there.

Then, a third time came. If it were a stranger, Qi Luoan could relay the message, but she didn't have the courage to do so with her own relatives.

Fortunately, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly, and the person in question was finally finished showering.

After a moment, the door opened.

Yu Wei came out wearing a loose bathrobe, his hair still dripping wet, and he casually wiped it with a towel.

The bathrobe was loosely tied around the waist, and the neckline was slightly open, revealing a small patch of collarbone and chest. Qi Luo'an was momentarily dazzled. This... this... how could he not be tempting her?
She composed herself and quickly handed the phone to Yu Wei.

"Who?"

Yu Wei was clearly taken aback when he saw Ye Shengyu's contact name. What was going on? Was his uncle checking up on him?

Qi Luoan covered her mouth and shook her head; she was about to become invisible.

"Finally, you answered the phone, Xiao Yu. Those two songs you sang tonight were really good."

It's alright then, it turns out they came for the song.
