Upon hearing the name of the guest she was most interested in on TV, Lu Wanxing unconsciously sat up straighter and eagerly asked the person next to her:
Which song is Chen Yubai going to sing tonight?
"do not know."
"Huh?" Lu Wanxing looked surprised.
"I'm not responsible for choosing the songs."
Lu Wantang had already answered Chang Yun's same question.
I don't intend to say much more right now.
Lu Wanxing understood: "Then let's guess a poem?"
Lu Wantang refused, saying, "Even if I guess right, it's a new song you haven't heard before."
Lu Wanxing shrugged: "Although I know they're all new songs, can I guess a range?"
Lu Wantang: "Then I'll guess—"
Having piqued someone's interest, she slowly said, "Chen Yubai can sing a song in the common language of Xizhou."
Lu Wanxing: "..."
He sighed and rubbed his forehead, his gesture and posture mirroring Lu Wantang's occasional reactions perfectly.
"What I mean is, what kind of songs does Chen Yubai sing? Ballads? Rock? You've written rock songs before, or maybe dance music? Judging from the song themes, are they mostly love songs? Or inspirational songs? Nostalgic songs?"
As she spoke, Lu Wanxing began to count the song choices of the previous groups of guests.
Whether it's a soothing ballad or a vibrant rock song, whether it's a sad love song or an inspiring one, the guests have already sung them all.
Dolly even sang some of the sweet songs.
It seems unlikely that Chen Yubai will stand out from the crowd in terms of talent selection.
"If I were Chen Yubai, and I knew beforehand that I would be the last one to appear, I would definitely have a difficult choice..."
As he recounted each program, Lu Wantang couldn't help but think of the pile of new songs she had given to Chen Yubai.
There are quite a few songs in the common language of the West, which is English.
Most of them are classic works from parallel universes.
There are many songs that can still inspire a large-scale sing-along.
However, Chen Yubai did not know before the competition that he would be the last to perform, and he could not change his song at the last minute.
Therefore, the possibility of 'unleashing a powerful move' is not very high.
Nevertheless, Lu Wantang didn't think there was anything wrong with the songs she provided.
Whether Chen Yubai can get a high score depends on his own performance.
Amidst a jumble of thoughts, the stage had already been handed over to Chen Yubai.
[Is it another new song?]
I look forward to Chen's performances the most; he always sings new songs.
[Chen is a very talented lyricist and composer]
[Should we just assume it's a new song? That would be awkward if it isn't.]
[The last one is very stressful; I hope Chen Yubai will be okay.]
……
The comments on the screen before the performance started were scattered.
Most of them are very curious about the new song.
Under the lights, Lu Wanxing, dressed in a denim jacket and a white hooded sweatshirt, walked onto the stage with light steps, as if she were strolling on campus.
"Hello——"
He raised his hand to greet everyone, full of youthful vigor.
After a few intermittent drumbeats, and with almost no intro, Lu Wanxing began singing directly:
'Hey, once upon a younger year'
'Hey, flashback to those old days'
'When all our shadows disappeared'
When all the shadows have passed
'The animals inside came out to play'
'Hey, when face to face with all our fears'
'Back then, we faced all our fears head-on, unleashing the wildness within us.'
The rhythmic and upbeat melody seems to transport you to a story from long ago.
'Learned our lessons through the tears'
'Learning to grow up through tears'
'Made memories should never fade'
Those memories will never fade.
Chen Yubai's voice is clear and infectious, making people unable to help but recall the carefree days before they grew up.
The scene, which had been somewhat noisy because of Lu Wanxing's greeting, immediately quieted down.
'One day my father told me
Son, don't let it slip away.
One day my father said to me
Child, don't let time slip away in vain.
'He took me in his arms, I heard him say'
'When you get older'
He said to me from his arms.
'When you grow up'
'Your wild heart will live for younger days'
'Think of me if ever youre afraid'
These passions can only live on in youth.
'When you feel lonely and scared, just remember that I'm here for you.'
This is clearly an electronic dance track.
It blends styles such as rural and folk songs.
The lyrics are like a remembrance and reminiscence, as well as a warning and encouragement.
The former tends to be slow and lyrical, while the latter leans towards inspiration, with melodies that are often very uplifting and can inspire people's fighting spirit.
But this song is different from both.
The rhythm is brisk but not exciting, leaning more towards dance music.
Chen Yubai's gentle voice is a perfect match for this song.
Because it's very lively, he makes a lot of small gestures while singing, such as nodding his head or waving his hands, as if he's keeping time.
Such a scene unconsciously improves the mood of the viewers.
'He said, one day you'll leave this world behind'
He said, "One day you will leave this world."
'So live a life you will remember'
So let's travel and sing along the way, and enjoy every day to the fullest.
The lyrics and melody of the chorus are catchy and very easy to remember.
Many people who heard this passage could already foresee that it would become another classic song by Zigui.
The father's words serve as a reminder to everyone not to forget their original aspirations and to always retain their love for life.
Countless people couldn't help but let go of their 'burdens' and join Chen Yubai in shaking their heads and swaying their bodies.
'My father told me when I was just a child'
My father told me this when I was young.
'These are the nights that never die'
'How many years have passed, it seems as if they are still here.'
'My father told me'
My father said...
