Chapter 14
That night, Du Xiwen grabbed Chu Qiu to listen to the DEMO, but Chu Qiu couldn't hold him back, so he played him the rough version recorded on his mobile phone. The master tape was sent to the company for post-production, and he still couldn't get it for a while. .
"Would it be strange to write lyrics together? When the time comes, the lyrics will be written in two styles, which may not sound very effective."
Du Xiwen had never written lyrics for a song before. He didn't think he was a singer-songwriter. He thought he didn't have the talent and potential, but it didn't mean he didn't want to. He took it to heart.
"I've already thought of the name of this song. It's called "Answer". You just need to write what you want to say."
"I think I'll..."
Chu Qiu brushed the hair on the top of his head and said, "You will definitely write well. Don't worry, we still have a lot of time."
"Then can I let you read what you wrote first?" Du Xiwen was both excited and nervous, he was very worried that he would write a bunch of shit and embarrass Chu Qiu, "I will imitate your style and change it. From time to time, maybe your fans will mistakenly think that it was written by you alone, and you almost missed it, so you should not blame me."
"Even if they know you wrote it, they won't say anything about you. I gave you this song. You can write it however you want."
I write our story into a song for you, with those unspeakable feelings, secrets hidden in my heart, love hidden in no one's corner, compose them into music and lyrics, and sing them to you .
After returning to the villa, everyone went back to their rooms to take a shower, and then Fang Shengkuo called the team members to his room for a meeting, and opened the envelope in front of everyone. Unlike before, this time the judges not only decided who Go to the public performance, and also decide the solo and chorus candidates for them.
"Wow, I finally heard the chorus of Kuo'er and Moon!" Liu Haosheng whistled with the card and jumped up cheering, "This must be the decision made by Teacher Zheng Hengren, God knows how much he wants to see you The stage of cooperation between the two."
Fang Shengkuo said: "Don't expect too much from me, I will be very stressed."
"Dancing is impossible, let's sing a ballad this time." Mu Qi hasn't sung while standing quietly in the show. Every time he performs on the stage, he sings and dances, and can turn the audience high kind of.
"Can I sing Japanese songs?"
"Which song do you want to sing?"
"Well! I really want to! I'm just waiting to sing with you!"
The remaining four people didn't know what charade they were playing. After listening to it for a few times, Lu Tao couldn't help asking: "What song are you going to sing?"
"Lion Heart by SMAP."
"I like this song so much!" Cai Xing was the first to raise his hands in agreement, strongly supporting them, "The harmony of this song is very nice, you can try it."
"Maybe we need to trouble the band teacher to help us re-arrange the song... I'll talk about this later, let's talk about Gao Fei first! Do you have any thoughts on the repertoire for the public performance?"
The program has been aired for twelve episodes so far. It stands to reason that everyone has performed at least once on the public stage, but Gao Fei is an exception among them. He has not performed a public performance so far.
Gao Fei's purpose of coming here is very clear, not to become famous, but to come here to study with outstanding talents in the industry. Staying here for half a year can be worth his four years in school, so he has always tried his best to put his talents on stage Leave opportunities to others and reduce your own sense of existence.
"I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you tomorrow."
"The next episode should be very exciting. We have Gao Fei and the 'Wang Zha Combination', which will definitely amaze the audience!"
Several people chatted for a while, and finally Mu Qi saw that the time was a little late, and said, "Go back and rest first, and I have to take promotional photos tomorrow morning."
After the others left, Fang Shengkuo played "LionHeart" on his mobile phone. When the song ended, he asked, "How do you know I like this song?"
Muche said: "You play this song on loop every day in the dormitory for a month, I don't think it's hard to know."
"Then you like this song because you were poisoned by me?"
Mu Qi's heart beat faster when he saw Fang Shengkuo's straight eyes. He pretended to cough and turned his head, and said, "Yeah, what else? During that time, I dreamed of this song every day."
"Then let's sing it casually first?" Fang Shengkuo leaned over and squeezed into the same bed with Mu Qi, and stepped on his calf with cold feet, "The lyrics happen to be marked in Roman accents, so just sing along."
Fang Shengkuo and Mu Qi, one is used to touching each other, and the other is used to being touched by the other party, maybe they don't think there is anything wrong with them, in the eyes of others, their interaction is a bit too close up.
"Sing it for me, I haven't even read the lyrics, it's like a monk chanting after a while."
Fang Shengkuo neither forced nor refused, directly fast-forwarded the song to the climax part, and sang softly along with the music: "Your を守るため、そのために生まれてきたんだ."
His voice is very soft, like snowflakes falling in winter, falling on people's shoulders, body and heart.
"あきれるほうどに、そうさそばにいてあげる."
Mu Qi is lying when he says that he doesn’t know Japanese. When he was a child, he loved watching anime. In order to keep up with updates in real time, he taught himself Japanese. It’s not professional, but daily listening, speaking, reading and writing are no problem at all.
His favorite part of the whole song is the part that Fang Shengkuo is singing now. These lines fit his heart so well that he forgot for a moment that he couldn't speak Japanese just now, and blurted out: "This part Let me sing it, I quite like these lyrics."
"Ah?" Fang Shengkuo paused the music and said, "You can understand Japanese songs? Didn't you say you can't? Qiqi, you have a little secret with me!"
"I didn't say I don't know Japanese," Mu Qi gently pushed his head on his shoulder, moved his body up a bit, and let him lean on his arm, "I just don't know how to sing this song very well." Song, don't slander me!"
Fang Shengkuo didn't ask too much about this question, and he generously gave these few lines of lyrics to Mu Qi, and immediately asked for credit: "I've been so kind to you, shouldn't you cook for me?"
"When I was in school, I cooked a small stove for you every day, and I didn't see you offering to wash the dishes for me."
"Although I don't seem to be doing anything, I only know how to eat for nothing." Fang Chengkuo paused for a while, frowned, thinking about whether he had done anything useful, and said cheekily, "Actually, I did for nothing. Eat and drink for nothing, but I have made you improve your cooking skills!"
"Then do I have to thank you for my parents?"
"That's not necessary, this is what I should do."
At night, Mu Qi was woken up again by Fang Shengkuo kicking the quilt with a huge range of motions. He saw half of Fang Shengkuo's body was outside the quilt. A large piece of skin was exposed in the air, and the sleeves of the pajamas were all shrunk to the forearm.
Mu Qi pulled the quilt from Fang Shengkuo's body and covered him again, fearing that he would kick the quilt again later, so he simply hugged him and put his big hands on his waist.
Fang Shengkuo was crushed uncomfortably, and moved restlessly. Mu Qi patted him on the back lightly, humming an unknown tune, and put him back to sleep.
I don't know when it started, they just put the bed together when they slept, and they started to sleep under the same quilt. Every time they slept until midnight, Fang Shengkuo hung on Mu Qi's body like a koala. When he woke up, half of Mu Qi's body was numb.
If other people know that they cover a quilt every night and sleep together in their arms, it will be lively, and a sentence from one person can tear down the roof.
It was Friday in a blink of an eye. In the past week, they adapted and practiced the performance songs under the guidance of the music director. Without the previous weekly acceptance, they were not idle, but busier than before, because They are all inexperienced rookies in music arrangement, and they are either arranging or discussing arrangements with band teachers all day long.
For example, the song that Chu Qiu and Du Xiwen will sing this time is called "Sorry, I Love You". The original song is "Snow Flower" sung by Japanese female singer Mika Nakajima. It is a cover song that is very familiar to the audience.
In their cover this time, they used a lot of strings and wind instruments as accompaniment, making the whole song sound grand and grand, coupled with the crisp and melodious piano sound, like a ship floating in the sea following The tide ebbs and flows.
The playlist for public performances is usually released a week in advance. Fans and audiences exploded instantly after seeing the performance list and repertoire of this episode. "I'm Sorry, I Love You" that sang to people's hearts with Chu Qiu, and "Lake Baikal" by Teacher Qiu Tao... It can be said that every song in this program can explode into gorgeous fireworks on the stage.
The order of appearances in this show is also very exciting. The two most popular CP pairs on the show are on stage next to each other. Deng Tingsheng and Qiu Tao are also in front of each other. Fans said that this episode can be renamed "CP Battle".
At the beginning of the show, the host Jiang Sheng announced the new competition rules, and then went directly to the singing session. The process went quickly and was not muddled at all.
The first group was Du Xiwen and Chu Qiu's "Xiqiu Combination". They each wore a white shirt with a blue suit jacket. The difference was that Chu Qiu's jacket was a windbreaker style, and Du Xiwen's was a bit oversized. loose fit suit.
The two stood on the left and right sides of the back of the stage. The lights were off for a few seconds, and then slowly turned on when the piano teacher pressed the first key. The warm yellow light shone from above their heads, and their eyes closed slightly. , the hand holding the microphone was placed in front of the body, and the other hand was hanging by the side to beat the time gently.
It is rare for this song to be played by Chu Qiu. His deep voice was infinitely amplified through the microphone, as if a magnet was firmly attached to his throat, and every sound and every word hit people's hearts.
Du Xiwen's singing voice was melodious and clear. The moment his voice came out, it seemed as if a ray of light pierced the dark night. The warm and dazzling golden light spread infinitely from the sky to the earth, and it was like strands of golden threads vying to get into the ear and wrap around it. Your eardrums are intoxicating.
Until the last climax, the two of them had a good grasp of the emotion that melted into the song, and they were able to take it in and out freely. The emotion that was suppressed and could not be vented, they expressed it well through their singing, it was love that could not be obtained , It is also a pity to miss it.
They kept getting closer while singing, but they never looked at each other. Even if they were singing face to face, both of them closed their eyes pretending to be affectionate. , perfectly missed every time Chu Qiu looked at him.
Especially when Chu Qiu sang "I know how much you depend on me now", she stared straight at Du Xiwen with naked and affectionate eyes the whole time, while Du Xiwen lowered his head and avoided caught his gaze.
The fans in the audience anxiously waited for a stare at each other, wishing they could rush up and press the heads of the two of them and yell "Give me a look at each other", some brave fans shouted "Du Xiwen take a look at him", I almost went to find a speaker to shout.
It may be that Du Xiwen heard their shouts and was finally willing to open his eyes to take a look. He took a step forward with one foot, kept the other foot on the spot, and leaned forward slightly. They looked at each other and sang that song together. The sentence "I exist because of you, don't leave my love".
When Du Xiwen pulled the sound to the highest point, his voice and all the accompaniment stopped at the same time, and the scene was so quiet that no sound could be heard for a few seconds.
"Haven't told you I'm sorry I love you
I can't breathe without you
I can't watch you cry for miles
It's just that I haven't worked up the courage yet."
The moment Du Xiwen's voice sounded again, the scene was so quiet that only his singing was lingering in his ears and breathing, his voice was slightly trembling and crying, and he grabbed the clothes on his chest with his hands. Or body movements all show the meaning of "love that I couldn't express because I didn't have the courage".
Then, the strings and piano sound joined again.
"Haven't told you I'm sorry I love you
Even if one day you leave your body
I still can't separate from you
I will continue to be with you
say i love you
haven't told you yet"
The last part is also the chorus of the two. This time they did not deliberately not look into each other's eyes, but looked at each other calmly, full of emotion, and sang the last note of the song perfectly.
After singing, the lights gradually turned off, and the fans sitting in the front row noticed a small detail, that is, after the song ended, Chu Qiu wanted to hug Du Xiwen, but he stretched out one hand, but in the end he didn't know why , paused in the air for a second and then retracted it, changing it to a "please" action, asking Du Xiwen to go first, and the two walked to the center of the stage one after the other.
Yan Jing said: "Your stage performance today is the best among the thirteen episodes. Singing is an art. An excellent work of art is not only about the external gorgeous image, but also depends on its content and form. The singing voice It is your exterior, which is the most intuitive feeling and impression for the audience, and whether you can tell a complete story through singing is the interior. Today you have combined the two very well, giving us and the audience a A perfect stage performance."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Thank you, Teacher Yan Jing."
"This song has been sung by many singers, and there are many different versions. Your performance today has added a touch of color to this song," Qin Leyang rested his elbows on the table, the microphone was circled by the tiger's mouth, and his eyes With approval and a smile, "The same song, performed by different people, expresses different emotions. Your singing just now gave me a heart-wrenching feeling, not like love. Unrequited lovers are more like unrequited same-sex love, because they are not accepted and understood, so they can only hide it in their hearts, and have no chance to even confess their confession, the story is very strong and very good."
Their song touched almost everyone present, Fang Shengkuo was sung and cried by them, he wiped away his tears several times in a few minutes, the crying was very real.
"Keep your tears away, we'll be playing soon." Mu Qi sighed helplessly, relying on the fact that he was wearing a white shirt, he directly took his own sleeve to wipe his tears, obviously there was a staff member standing behind him, as long as he said One sound and they'll come over with tissues.
"I couldn't help it, they sang so real."
"It's true that you cry."
Fang Shengkuo cried so hard that his voice became nasal when he spoke. He himself was taken aback, took several deep breaths to calm himself down, and said with a bitter face: "It's over, the singing will be out of tune and broken in a while." .”
"Don't you think..." Mu Qi hesitated to speak for a while, but after thinking about it, he didn't continue. He sighed and said, "Their song is really touching, and we have to work hard."
In front of the stage, Du Xiwen and Chu Qiu, who had finished accepting the comments and got the scorecard, walked off the stage from the other side. They got the best result of the program so far - all excellent.There was thunderous applause and endless cheers. The members on the sidelines excitedly jumped down from the moving ladder to hug them. No one knew that behind this achievement was their true feelings, a heart that was buried in the corner and could not be seen .
It's too late for them to meet each other, and it's too late for them to fall in love.
What they chose at first was not this song, but a song from a musical. At that time, they happened to be listening to the song on Yu Li’s mobile phone, and suddenly they played this song. I don’t know who said "" I think this song is also good", they immediately decided to sing this song, no matter what others said, they would not change it.
Chu Qiu once said that he and Du Xiwen are soulmates in terms of voice. He has never felt that anyone's voice can match him so well. He feels that Du Xiwen is a treasure bestowed on him by heaven.
If we could have met earlier, and sooner, perhaps we would not have such regrets in our lives.
