How did I become famous?

Chapter 144 Fang Bie is a musical genius

"On this windy day"

I tried holding your hand

But then, the rain gradually grew so heavy that I could no longer see you.

How much longer until I can be by your side?

I'll probably feel better when the weather clears up.

The only light on the set shone down from above, enveloping Su Mulin and the piano.

With a light touch of her fingers, the piano music, along with the chords of the guitar and drums, and her languid, melancholic voice, filled the studio.

Su Mulin did not pursue the so-called high notes.

This song doesn't need to be shouted out with all your might.

It's the kind of thing that's very special and unique.

A touch of melancholy, a gentle longing.

Su Mulin did not open her eyes while playing and singing.

She didn't use much force; she was simply telling a story.

She knew that this song might be about Fang Bie's story.

It was his thought, and it was also his feeling.

She will carefully consider Fang Bie's feelings.

The faint scent of laundry detergent on the shirt neutralized the tobacco smell, creating a subtle pine fragrance that lingered around my nose.

Su Mulin closed her eyes, feeling that Fang Bie was right beside her.

This song is different from others, but it is also my own.

She felt a little intoxicated.

Across the stage, Ye Lun stared at the girl under the lights.

He tapped his hands silently to the beat, and his feet lightly touched the drumbeats.

He suddenly felt like laughing.

Su Shi said that his sister's abilities were no less than his own, which Su Shi originally thought was just boasting from a brother who doted on his sister.

I didn't expect him to be so lenient.

Her singing skills were on par with mine, far exceeding my emotional investment, and her piano skills were several levels above mine.

This person is actually an amateur singer?

Or is she herself, or is she the so-called judge who is evaluating her?

It's hilarious.

Beside him, Lin Qingjie also looked at Su Mulin under the lamplight.

But his eyes were unfocused.

He wasn't looking at Su Mulin.

He was "looking" at Fang Bie.

It is Fang Bie, the one who wrote "Blue and White Porcelain" and this poem "Sunny Day".

This is a song completely different from "Blue and White Porcelain".

A touch of romance, a touch of melancholy, a touch of nostalgia.

This is a song written for youth.

Su Mulin doesn't look very old. Although she fully expressed the emotions in this song, it still felt a little lacking.

At that moment, the sound of a cello began to play.

Lin Qingjie closed his eyes.

He reminisced about his past.

Those were his youthful days.

There was a girl at school who liked him a lot, and he liked that girl a lot too.

That's how they got together.

But later, he went abroad to further his studies in music in pursuit of his dream.

They were still writing letters.

I wrote nine letters in total.

The first letter was sent a week apart from the second.

Then came two weeks, a month, two months, four months, and a year.

By the time he received the ninth letter, he had lost contact with the girl.

Years later, while sorting through old things, he came across those letters.

It was then that he realized something: the first word of those nine letters, when put together, read, "Lin Qingjie, I like you so much."

Su Mulin's singing continued

Once upon a time

Someone has loved you for a long time

But the wind gradually blew the distance much farther.

好不容易

One more day of love

But at the end of the story, you seemed to have said...

Bye-Bye"

Lin Qingjie opened his eyes and felt his eye sockets burning.

He knew that this feeling was called empathy.

Through this song, he reminisced about the past.

"pity."

He sighed. Unfortunately, Su Mulin's singing was still a little short of the perfect one in his mind.

It's not that Su Mulin sang badly.

In order to create a resonance with the audience, high notes are usually chosen to enhance the atmosphere during live performances on stage.

But Su Mulin didn't do that; she simply told a story, a melancholy story.

In fact, among these 32 contestants, Lin Qingjie already believed that Su Murin was the strongest one.

But he has even greater expectations.

He hoped that the songwriter and composer, the musical genius Fang Bieng, would personally sing the song.

He wanted to know what the effect would be if the song were performed at its full potential.

He had never looked forward to it this much.

Looking at Su Mulin in the center of the stage, Lin Qingjie smiled.

Because he thought of a segment from "The Amateur Singer".

Then he will be able to witness the musical genius's performance.

"Holy crap! Forgive me for being speechless, but right now, that's the only thought on my mind!"

"Yeah, why does it feel so choked up inside me even though she didn't hit many high notes?"

"This girl has a story. Was her 'playing the victim' just now actually sarcastic? I don't think someone who can sing this kind of song would be the kind of annoying person who deliberately flaunts their wealth."

"This girl is definitely not an amateur singer! Is she some kind of newcomer that a company is preparing to launch?"

Online viewers watching the live stream were stunned!

This song is absolutely amazing.

It's not just amazing, it's a classic!

Unlike those catchy pop songs that you forget after one listen.

The melody of the song lingered in their minds even after Su Mulin finished singing it!

The lingering sound echoed around the beam for three days without being noticed.

That's about it.

It's strange, really. There weren't many high notes, and it was just a nice song.

But many people have found that they can no longer forget the melody and lyrics of this song.

Fang Bie was sitting on the sofa in the company office, laughing.

His past life and his life here overlapped and merged in his mind.

His mind was filled with the lyrics of "Sunny Day".

He even started humming along when Su Mulin was singing halfway through.

After humming the song, he lit another cigarette.

But I only took one puff.

He leaned back, a cigarette between his fingers.

After all, it's "Sunny Day".

This song won the Best Song Award in Hong Kong and Taiwan at the 10th Global Chinese Music Awards in 2003.

It was also a hit song that won the "4th Global Chinese Music Awards" Most Popular Song of the Year in 2005.

This song seems to have the most comments on NetEase Cloud Music.

Fang Bie couldn't remember anymore.

But when Su Mulin was playing and singing, he actually saw the shadow of Jay Chou.

On stage, the music has ended.

But for a very long time, no one spoke.

The four judges had already stood up, and even after the song ended, they did not sit down.

After a while, just as the director was about to give a hint through the earpiece, Lin Qingjie spoke up.

"Is this song an original work?"

"Yes."

Did you write this?

"No, I only arranged the music. The original composer is someone else."

"Is it Teacher Fang?"

"Yes."

"Besides 'Blue and White Porcelain' and 'Sunny Day,' does Teacher Fang have any other original works?"

"some."

How many?

"a lot of."

Can you tell me?

"Sorry, I need his permission."

"Could you please provide my teacher's contact information? I would like to visit her in person."

"Sorry, I need his permission."

"Are you familiar with the top eight round of 'The Amateur Singer'? That round requires a guest singer to perform with you. Could you please invite Mr. Fang to join us?"

"Sorry, this also requires his consent."

Lin Qingjie sat back down.

He is now both expectant and excited.

Sure enough! Fang Bie... no! Teacher Fang should come to the music industry!

Many songs?

Even if it falls short of the level of "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Sunny Day", it doesn't matter!

Why would he bother making movies?

Let someone else handle that kind of thing!

Lin Qingjie had never looked forward to the show two episodes later so much.

He will definitely make sure the production team finds a way to invite Teacher Fang!

As for Su Mulin not making it into the top eight in the next round...

How is that possible!

Even if she underperforms, I'll still pull some strings to get her into the quarterfinals!

At that moment, Lin Qingjie forgot that he had opposed recommending Su Mulin for admission before the show started.

The remaining three judges also had many questions to ask, and they even wanted to get Fang Bie's contact information and visit him in person to invite him to write a song!

But Lin Qingjie had said too much, and they didn't have much to say.

They exchanged a wry smile, and Ye Lun said, "Congratulations, the last spot in the top 16 is yours. Looking forward to your performance next week."

After a pause, Ye Lun coughed and asked, "Although it's not entirely in accordance with the rules, I still want to ask, are you still singing an original song next week?"

"Yes." Su Mulin nodded, "It's an original song with lyrics and music by Teacher Fang."

"Very good, then I look forward to your performance next week." Ye Lun smiled. "To be honest, I've never felt a week go by so long."

"Damn! It's so hot!"

Fang Bie, who had been praised for so long, felt her face getting hot while watching TV.

Is our side perhaps a musical genius?

Even a veteran superstar like Lin Qingjie calls me "Teacher Fang"?

It was really fun, but I felt a little embarrassed.

If Liu Mang and his cronies were here, they'd probably be laughing their heads off.

I, a guy who sings off-key, was actually called "teacher" by two superstars.

The young lady, why does she have to brag about herself like that for no reason?

Tsk, though I won't admit it.

But

Fang felt a little pleased.

He felt even more relieved after opening Weibo and seeing the #SunnyDay# trending at lightning speed, and after reading the praise from netizens.

But soon, he felt uncomfortable.

Are the top eight contestants going to have guest performers?

That Lin, what kind of superstar, specifically requested that I sing as a guest?

What's the point of singing?!

Why would you want to embarrass yourself?

If I had a photographic memory and if I could sing well, I would definitely push myself to the top!

What about "Give Me a Song's Time" from the Double J concert, what about "Separate Trips", what about "Today You're Marrying Me", what about "I Have Feelings for You", what about "Listen! Who's Singing", what about "What If"?

What? If I had my own system, even "The Monster" wouldn't be out of the question!

But I'm not good at it!

Should I go up and sing "King of Karaoke"?

This is also one of my go-to songs at karaoke.

But can this be done within a week?

No way! We have to find a way to get the young lady eliminated in the top 16!

As usual, I'm asking for your votes~
