Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 16 The Chinese Music Scene is Saved (3)

Finally, it was Zhou Yumeng's direct mentor Bai Jing's turn to give her comments.

The name Bai Jing is not unfamiliar to Chinese people. Perhaps, on this land of China, this name even represents the childhood and youth memories of a generation.

Because she was none other than the powerful figure who carved out a path for herself in that golden age twenty years ago, making her name known to all the stars in that era, and was also hailed as a queen of her generation.

"This song doesn't have a very high vocal range or many technical skills, but it still gives people a sense of immersion, like being there in a dream."

Bai Jing picked up the microphone and said, "There's not much to say about singing techniques, because the two people before me have already said everything I wanted to say."

"Hahahahahaha."

A burst of pleasant laughter erupted from the audience, which served as a fitting response to the little joke.

Bai Jingcai continued, "I noticed that you're wearing your school uniform today, and you even had a new hairstyle. Why is that?"

"Because these are memories from my youth."

Zhou Yumeng raised the microphone and said, "Just like the song I sing, this song, in a sense, is a song written for 'entrustment' and 'hope,' or you could say 'cherishing.' I think it's not just about the present, but also about the beautiful memories we once cherished in our hearts. This is a beautiful encounter that the world has given us."

Just like a saying I really agree with.

Life is sometimes like a train journey. When you board it, you know where it will eventually take you, but you don't know what kind of people and scenery you will encounter along the way. These are all unknowns.

Then, during this process, every time you look out the window, you are very likely to see some scenery that you have never seen before, and that will leave a deep impression on you, so beautiful that it will touch your heart and make you remember it.

You might also encounter some people with whom you had a pleasant conversation and felt like you had known each other for a long time.

However, these people may not ride with you to the final destination. They only bought tickets for intermediate stops and will get off before you, disappearing from the journey forever.

However, this does not mean that these things are not worth remembering. I believe that all the things that made you happy or unhappy on this journey are still beautiful memories, or rather, important memories, that are worth celebrating and remembering.

Moreover, if, many years after you reach your destination, you happen to meet the person who once accompanied you on a journey, and they reappear on another of your journeys, I think that feeling will be even more memorable and cherished.

That's why I wear a school uniform and have my hair short—because that's the way I came from.

“Very good understanding.” Bai Jing nodded approvingly: “This is a great attempt; you’ve successfully drawn people into your story.”

“Yes, music has energy, which comes from the expression of the most fundamental human emotions. Emotions should be the priority,” the last mentor added.

"Thank you, teacher." Zhou Yumeng bowed slightly again.

The host then took over the conversation: "Okay, now it's time to move on to our final stage. Let's shift our focus back and temporarily leave the window that good music has created for us."

Let's welcome all the finalists back to the stage, where we're about to determine tonight's ultimate champion.

As the host announced the start of the next stage, the remaining contestants returned to the stage.

The method for selecting the champion in the final of "Treasure Voice" is also very simple.

That is, popularity is determined by a real-name voting system by the audience at the venue and in front of the television or live broadcast.

The person with the highest popularity score wins.

The same applies to the runner-up and third place.

"Let's vote by logging into the official website or calling the hotline, as shown at the bottom of the screen!"

The vote counting has officially begun. This moment is a celebration for all the viewers watching the final.

Without hesitation, he clicked on the official link to Xiao Zhongge's site, logged into the website with his mobile phone number, and cast his vote for Zhou Yumeng.

"Zhou Yumeng will win!"

In the dormitory of Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

Xia Shen, Qi Yixiang, Zheng Xingqi, and Wen Xiong all took out their phones and started voting, contributing to Zhou Yumeng's victory.

In every household, men and women of all ages began to cast their precious votes for their favorite contestants.

Perhaps in this day and age, when time is increasingly precious, people's patience is dwindling, and they are too lazy to pay for anything tedious, the fact that so many people are willing to spend time voting seems to confirm the value of the phrase "the power of music."

Back at the scene, the final result was quickly determined.

"So, we hereby announce that the grand champion of this year's 12th season of 'Treasure Voice' is—"

The host flipped through the list of winners and shouted it out.

"Zhou! Yu! Meng! Let's congratulate her!"

“Ohhhhhh——”

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd, reaching high into the sky, with no attempt to suppress the overwhelming emotions.

At the same time, news of Zhou Yumeng's victory continued to top and impact the trending search lists on various platforms.

Of course, this also included the song "What the World Gave Me," which spread rapidly.

This speed is extremely rapid.

"I told you! I told you, Zhou Yumeng would win!"

"There's no suspense at all, it's like a game-changer. This contestant who sings all original songs is way too good. And Zhou Yumeng is a stat monster. Her singing skills are no worse than those other contestants. What's even more amazing is that she can still express the emotions while maintaining a high level of performance."

"Actually, in some ways, this song is not a very good song, nor is it very suitable for a competition, because it is too quiet and there is not much room for showing off skills. It can be said that this is a very bold attempt."

"But this is such a good song, it really made me cry. I could hear it all over my head, especially when it came with Zhou Yumeng's words later on, it really made me cry so much!!"

"Zhou Yumeng today really gives people a unique feeling, very much like the girl in my youthful memories. I wonder if she sang this song for someone."

"It's for me to sing!"

"Upstairs, my pee is yellow! I'll do it!"

"This is what a good song should be like, this is the kind of popular work in the Chinese music scene. Isn't this much better than 'Dried Silence,' 'Stubbornly Obsessed,' or that DJ and that tailor?"

"Don't compare that kind of trash to this kind of song, okay? That's blasphemy."

"Hahahaha, it's amazing to still hear such high-quality works now, the Chinese music scene is saved!"

"No. Hasn't anyone noticed who composed and wrote the lyrics for this song? Take a closer look at that name, doesn't it feel a little familiar?"

"Hmm? Xia Shen, the composer, arranger, and lyricist??"
