Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

Surprisingly, Ding Dasheng didn't refute him. He nodded and said, "To produce a masterpiece that amazes everyone in every round of the competition, let alone in the rock scene, there are very few people in the entire pop music scene who can do that..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Just like you said, as a music critic, although I am disappointed, I also know that the Cheetahs are destined to win tonight, and even Zhou Yang can't stop that."

Perhaps because Cheetah's "Heartbroken Utopia" didn't meet many people's expectations, I silently lowered my expectations for Zhou Yang's work this time.

Even a cheetah can't produce three consecutive winning handsets, let alone Zhou Yang, who started to underperform in the last round.

Soon, as the stage lights changed, Zhou Yang and her teammates were already on stage.

It was the same familiar routine: Zhou Yang brandished his guitar and shouted:

"Secondhand Roses, Rock Music Festival Grand Finale~"

"Accepting guests!"

The audience's response was even more enthusiastic than in the previous round.

The next second, the large screen behind them displayed their performance for the evening:

Walk Away with Style

Lyrics: Zhou Yang

Music by Zhou Yang

Arrangement: Zhou Yang

The familiar three-part routine, Zhou Yang is now a well-known eccentric in the rock scene, so his mere name naturally doesn't reveal anything about him. The drum beats paired with the electric guitar intro still didn't attract enough attention from the audience.

"

Heaven and earth are vast, and travelers come and go in haste.

The tide rises and falls

Love and hate, life and death, growing old together

How many people can see through it?

The mortal world is turbulent, and love is deep and unrequited.

meeting and parting

... "

The atmosphere changed abruptly as soon as the first few lines of the verse were sung.

Laymen listen to the spectacle, experts listen to the details.

This song, created in 1991, is almost Yeh Yi-yi's most popular work. In 1993, at the 4th Golden Melody Awards, in addition to winning the Best Song of the Year, the two composers also won the Best Composer Award for the song.

Getting back to the main point, the audience felt that the song "Walk Away with Style" lived up to its name, with a popular and smooth melody. After countless heavy metal and hysterical songs, this new work gave people a feeling of complete exhilaration.

Compared to the audience, the bigwigs in the front row all had solemn expressions.

Ding Dasheng turned his gaze to the side and said, "Zhou Yang's song is pretty good."

Hua Rongcheng nodded and said solemnly, "When the melody started just now, I even felt like I had traveled into an ancient costume drama, but upon closer listening, it also absorbed the musical style of Hong Kong in the 1990s. It's a pity..."

At this point, he switched to a tone of exasperation, saying, "This brat's singing is absolutely terrible, utterly awful..."

On stage, Zhou Yang showed absolutely no self-awareness, and even went all out:

"

Keep half sober and half drunk

At least you're there for me in my dreams.

I'm betting my youth on tomorrow.

You exchanged true love for this life.

Time knows not how much sorrow humanity has endured.

Why not live life to the fullest?

Why not live life to the fullest?

Why not live life to the fullest?

... "

Regarding this last song, Zhou Yang also struggled with it. The reason is simple: when Aunt Long covered this classic song in her previous life, there was a great deal of controversy. Some people thought that he ruined the classic and transformed an original classic song into an extremely vulgar and cheesy hit.

However, some people believe that this is a bold attempt to promote local culture, combining the styles of Aunt Ye and international superstar MJ with local folk instruments, thus forging a completely different musical path.

Therefore, this song was once jokingly referred to as "MJ possessing Aunt Ye to play the suona and dance the Yangko in Northeast China".

Compared to Aunt Long, Zhou Yang, apart from imitating the other's strange singing style, was "much more restrained" in other aspects, without heavy makeup or outlandish clothing.

Furthermore, fans around the world haven't heard the original version, so they naturally have no way to compare it.

Time knows not how much sorrow humanity has endured.

Why not live life to the fullest?

Why not live life to the fullest?

Why not live life to the fullest?

I'm betting my youth on tomorrow.

You exchanged true love for this life.

Time knows not how much sorrow humanity has endured.

Why not live life to the fullest?

'

Ding Dasheng looked at Zhou Yang on stage, who was holding hands with all his teammates and thanking the audience in all directions. He shook his head regretfully and said:

"This song could be considered his first truly worthy work, but unfortunately his poor singing and outdated arrangement greatly diminished its appeal..."

Hua Rongcheng nodded and said, "I hope this song will find its true owner in the future."

Ding Dasheng then teased, "Your own son is about to take over ahead of schedule. Doesn't that disrupt your future plans?"

Hua Rongcheng originally planned for the Cheetahs to win the championship this year, which would be a perfect ending. Zhou Yang, the rising star, would temporarily be relegated to second place, and he would personally help him take the top spot two years later.

Who knew that Cheetah's lackluster performance and Zhou Yang's stunning rendition of "Walk Away in Style" would catch everyone off guard.

As if to confirm Ding Dasheng's idea, almost all 100,000 audience members stood up, vigorously waving their glow sticks and shouting in unison:

"Champion! Champion!"

"The champion of secondhand roses!"

"Champion! Second-hand rose champion."

"..."

Ding Dasheng looked around and realized that the outcome of the secondhand rose contest was already decided for the night. He then joked, "Chairman Hua, hurry up and prepare to present the award to your son. There's no suspense about who will win the championship."

Once the staff had finished counting all 100,000 tickets, the enormous golden trophy was carried onto the stage. Not only the ten bands performing that night, but also the 20 bands that had been eliminated earlier, all returned to the stage. The exciting awards ceremony was about to begin.

The host strained to shout out each word with all his might: "Now, on behalf of the organizers, I officially announce that the champion band of this year's rock music festival is: Er-Shou-Yue-Ji..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers, and Hua Rongcheng strode confidently onto the stage.

"Next, please welcome Mr. Hua Rongcheng, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Music Association and Chairman of the Chinese Rock Association, to present the award to the champion band..."

Zhou Yang tapped the gleaming gold trophy in his arms, a playful urge stirring within him. "Grandpa," he said, "this isn't real gold, is it?"

Hua Rongcheng smiled and shook his head.

"Gold plating?"

Hua Rongcheng shook his head again.

"That is?"

"Stainless steel plated with brass"

Undeterred, Zhou Yang asked again, "Is there no bonus at all?"

"Get lost!"

"..."

Afterwards, members of each band came up to hug Zhou Yang and his bandmates. Compared to the opening, these old guys were now completely convinced. When it was Lao Liang and the Cheetah Band's turn, he patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder forcefully and said:

Keep going! The future is yours.

Zhou Yang immediately replied, "That's true now too."

"Hahaha~"

The two of them burst out laughing.

After the event concluded, the organizers hosted a lavish farewell banquet to thank the participating bands and industry leaders.

At the dinner table, Hua Rongcheng specially arranged for Zhou Yang, the newly crowned champion, to sit next to him, showing him great prestige.

After glancing at the championship trophy he subsequently tossed on the ground, Hua Rongcheng asked with a smile, "So, how does it taste like being a champion?"

"That's all there is to it."

Zhou Yang's nonchalant expression immediately drew laughter from everyone at the table.

"That kid, he got the benefit but is still acting innocent."

"Looking at his expression, I really want to punch him."

"At 23, the youngest champion in the history of rock music festivals, that's incredible."

"Look at him, he's putting on an act."

"..."

After the laughter subsided, Hua Rongcheng said earnestly, "Take these two years to reflect and prepare, and then keep up the good work at the next music festival..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "I won't be coming next time."

Why?

The rock music festival was finally starting to look promising, but he didn't expect this kid to quit right after winning the championship.

"Not to mention the low appearance fee, the champion doesn't even get a prize. Let whoever wants to come, come."

He wasn't trying to show off, but this rock music festival, in terms of both its competition format and the participants, was incredibly outdated.

Subsequently, Zhou Yang, the champion, finally began to suffer. Thirty band members almost took turns attacking him, and he was forced to drink until he blacked out.

"How much did Yangyang drink?"

"In the entire pop music scene, these rock musicians are the biggest drinkers; almost everyone of them is an alcoholic."

In the end, Lei Mingkai, Wang Man, and a group of team members personally carried the unconscious Zhou Yang back to the hotel.
