Chapter 055 Angry Clown
The plain voice sounded, and the room fell into a brief silence again, especially Kim Hyun-A who was daydreaming and didn't react at all.
Min Xianyi's eyes also shook violently, and she even showed a little bit of anger. At this moment, she felt greatly insulted.
"Uncle! Do you know how to sing? 85 points? 85 points?"
Just when Kim Hyo-yeon and the others were too surprised to speak, Kim Hyun-A suddenly jumped to the ground, one foot without shoes on, and pointed at Jung Soo-Hyung and yelled. At this moment, Kim Hyun-A had no idea of etiquette at all. If it weren't for the fact that Jung Soo-Hyung was tall and strong, she would have punched him.
"HyunA!" Min Xianyi came back to his senses, suppressed the brewing anger, and screamed.
Facing the gazes of these girls and the angry look of the girl named Hyun-A, Zheng Xiuheng's expression did not change. Instead, he ignored her, turned his head and looked at Min Xianyi and said, "If we only talk about feelings and the sensibility of the song, and don't count the fact that you are competing, maybe I would give you 100 points, but in fact, to be fair, the first verse part is actually perfect, and even the gaps in the melody are completely captured. It's really amazing..."
"Then why..." Kim Hyun-a shouted again, looking a little annoyed, but unfortunately Zheng Xiuheng ignored her directly.
"However, from the moment you entered the chorus, your emotions exploded. Although emotional involvement is a necessary quality for a singer, especially for a song like this, excessive emotions are not necessarily a good thing. From the chorus on, your pitch was problematic, whether it was the trembling voice or the chaotic breathing in the high notes, which made the pitch seem extremely uneasy, although your emotional involvement covered up some of it. Problems are problems, and you can't avoid them no matter how much you invest. Because this is a competition, I don't need you to be convinced by my 85 points. If you think there is a problem, I can leave now!"
At this point, the looks of others changed, and they seemed even more surprised. They thought that this senior in the windbreaker was just a handsome guy passing by, but unexpectedly, he actually pointed out the problems when Min Xianyi was singing.
Min Xianyi also opened her mouth slightly and looked surprised. The anger and the feeling of being insulted in her heart disappeared instantly. After thinking carefully, she realized that the man was right.
"It seems that you have agreed with me. If there is no problem, continue singing. It will be ten o'clock soon... Well, in my heart, I still want to give you a higher score. In fact, I am also deeply moved, but now I can only say sorry. In addition, as a suggestion, if you have time, do more aerobic exercise. Although it is due to excessive emotions, the instability of the intervals in the high notes reflects a small part of your lack of breath. Judging from your singing ability alone, you should have undergone very strict and long-term training, so it can only be a problem of insufficient breath. This needs to be strengthened by doing more aerobic exercise!"
Zheng Xiuheng fully felt Min Xianyi's pain, even more than anyone else here, but sorry, everyone has their own pain. He didn't know what Min Xianyi's pain was, and it was impossible for him to share it, so his answer was very fair, but at the same time there was some small unspeakable emotion, so he gave some advice.
This is one of the rare times that Zheng Xiuheng has talked so much with others, especially about music.
"Senior, are you a music teacher?" Jin Xiaoyuan, who was sitting behind Min Xianyi, suddenly asked, looking really surprised. Previously, I was immersed in such emotions and completely ignored these problems. Although I may not be able to hear as many flaws as Zheng Xiuheng, I can still hear some basic ones.
"No, let's start the next song. I really don't have much time!"
"Uh, okay!"
Min Xianyi was no longer angry with Zheng Xiuheng at this moment. She carefully recalled the performance just now and was completely immersed in the emotions of pain and self-blame. She really forgot something, although such a performance did not disappoint people.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior..."
After saying that, Min Xianyi looked at Kim Hyun-ah's blushing face again, and suddenly couldn't help biting her lower lip, with a strange expression. At this moment, the girl's face flushed, and she stood there not knowing what to do.
This is the legendary slap in the face. Kim Hyun-A was so ashamed at this moment, and at the same time, she really wanted to kill this bastard uncle in the windbreaker. This time she really had no face at all.
"Pierrot Smiles at Us, HyunA-si, can you help me click it ? Number 10214."
"Uh, ok, ok!"
Kim Hyun-ah came back to her senses and hurriedly turned around to request a song, while Park In-jung, who was sitting in the middle, had already picked up the microphone. Kim Hyun-ah really thought that Park In-jung was a good person for helping her out. Looking at the expressionless man in the windbreaker, she thought to herself, "He must be a perverted teacher from some school!"
Zheng Xiuheng ignored this and looked at the three panicked girls behind him, then looked at the expressionless girl holding the microphone, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Pierro is Smiling at Us" is a song released by Kim Won-hsuan in 1990. Apart from other things, if we only talk about the style, this song is a dance song. Although the lyrics are meaningful and the composition of the song is also very good, it is really difficult to achieve perfection if it is just sung, especially the version without any arrangement in KTV. Even if it is perfect, compared with Min Xianyi's singing, the difficulty coefficient is much lower.
But the weird thing is, you said you were competing with others, but you didn't choose a song that was easy to sing, but you chose a song that was obviously impossible to express perfectly. Was it because you were moved and wanted to admit defeat? Or was there some special battle strategy? I guess this is why the girl behind was panicking.
Because he didn't understand or know these girls, Zheng Xiuheng didn't know what this operation was, but it was very strange.
Min Xianyi and Kim Hyun-ah also looked confused. This choice was really strange.
The light flute sounded, and the prelude of the song began to play amid everyone's confusion. Although Kim Hyoyeon and the other two wanted to say something, they finally gave up because they had known each other for more than a day or two, and since Injeong had chosen it, there must be a reason.
“Wow!”
The song hasn't started yet. Kim Hyun-ah, who just sat back on the wooden platform, was embarrassed because she had just accused the man in the windbreaker. She also didn't want to see him, so she sat with her back to him. As a result, just after she sat down, her two feet were still hanging, and suddenly she saw Park In-jeong stood up suddenly, which scared her. In such a narrow place, is she going to dance? Is this a plus? And isn't she afraid of hitting the ceiling? Look carefully, this sister is just tall enough to hit the ceiling!
Just when everyone was frightened, the prelude ended, Park In-jeong raised her head and started singing with fire in her eyes.
"Wearing a red hat
I often dress up as a clown with a smile
Behind the bright smile
There are unknown tears
Even though I am miserable, I still smile
I'm also very beautiful
Everyone wears black tie
Can't say anything
Although people were dancing and laughing
I hate that kind of smile.
While drinking and looking for love
Aren't we living by forgetting the truth?
I prefer the smiling clown.
I prefer sad clowns instead..."
This song is sung with anger, and no one knows why Park In-jeong is so angry. It is a song with a strong rhythm and a relatively light melody, but when Park In-jeong sings it, there is an extra sense of anger.
But they couldn't hear what Park In-jeong was angry about. They just felt it was strange, really strange.
If we only talk about voice and current singing, Park In-jeong is not worse than Min Sun-ye, but what is this weird emotion? Even Kim Hyo-yeon and Kwon Yu-ri can't figure out what's going on with this friend they have known for several years?
There are many interpretations of clowns, but apart from movies, TV shows, and novels, clowns generally refer to comedians, often seen on stage, in circuses, variety shows, carnivals, children's programs, and birthday parties. When they perform, they often wear oversized shoes and strange costumes, and their faces are often painted, especially the nose. These weird and funny costumes bring laughter to the audience, and usually clowns will entertain the audience by making themselves look ridiculous.
I like clowns more than the world today, and I smile at the loss, hypocrisy, and forgetfulness of reality of people in modern society.
A real smile…is the Joker’s smile real?
Zheng Xiuheng understood the girl's anger. She was singing "I prefer the clown who laughs", but she was extremely angry and disagreed with him emotionally...
This is another example of an emotional outburst, but this time Zheng Xiuheng can’t be said to have fully understood it. Instead, he was infected by Park Injeong’s singing.
Sometimes songs bring a certain commonality.
"Don't I look like a clown?"
Hiding in the darkness, doing dirty things, still keeping a clean appearance, but unable to stand in the sun and smile...a smile from the heart, I have forgotten it for a long time.
Zheng Xiuheng found a commonality with that emotion in Park In-jeong's singing, because the clown in the words was singing about himself, hating and disliking himself.
"What on earth am I doing?"
"Now is not the time to play games, to be empty, lonely, and bored. Do you really want to be a clown for the rest of your life?"
Zheng Xiuheng has a deep understanding of what it means to live like a clown. No one except herself will ever know what kind of face is hidden under the thick foundation.
Whether in the past or now, Zheng Xiuheng only realized at this moment that everything... has not changed.
