Chapter 20: Like a confession, but also like a farewell
The whistling sound was like the roar of distant waves.
Electric guitar, exploding melody.
As the first bar ends, the drums come in, making the prelude more complex and fuller.
However, the rich prelude was no match for the richness, depth, and heaviness of Han Zhou's first word:
"I must have said I loved you hundreds of years ago
You just forgot, and I didn't remember either.
I must have said I loved you hundreds of years ago
It’s just that you forgot, and I didn’t remember either…”
The fast-paced melody and the not-so-fast lyrics make it feel like the rhythm of classic songs from the 1980s and 1990s.
The use of melody is the most popular melody style at the moment.
The instruments used are the most classic four-piece band plus the sound of electronic music.
Chen Feng tilted his head back: "Psychedelic rock!"
Psychedelic rock is easily resisted by the general public.
Just like in the previous life, in this life, there is also capital that is pushing psychedelic rock idols, who are jokingly called magicians and mages.
Chen Feng didn't expect that Han Zhou and An Lan would sing this for their last duet.
However, as soon as An Lan's voice came out, Chen Feng knew that this song was a success again.
Crisp, the kind of attraction that is unique to girls, the fresh breath that can be heard from the voice:
"I have walked by, passed by, never met
Looking back, turning around, it's still wrong
You and I have never felt it, bumping into each other at the street corner
Collision at the intersection
Your mother didn't tell you
Say sorry if you bump into someone
Today was fine.
Love will miss
Love is wrong! "
An Lan's voice was very crisp and clear, yet had a little depth. It was a completely pop singing style, and her voice was like the sound of nature. It instantly woke up the audience who were intoxicated by Han Zhou's deep voice, and they swayed to the rhythm of the faster-paced lyrics.
Lin Xiaoxing took a deep breath and shook his head: "I always feel that Han Zhou writes music with his heart and writes lyrics with his feet."
"I give full marks to the music and 60 points to the lyrics."
Chen Feng shook his head: "If this song is a simple love song, it is true, but this is psychedelic rock."
"I give the music 95 points, and the lyrics full marks."
Lin Xiaoxing was a little surprised, but he didn't know much about psychedelic rock, so he didn't continue the discussion.
However, Lin Xiaoxing's words also reflect the thoughts of a large number of passers-by.
What do you think of the song "Psychopathic Song" ? What do the lyrics say? Did you write the music with your heart and the lyrics with your feet?
But if viewed from the perspective of a big name in ghost music, the lyrics are stunning.
In today's information-rich world with no shortage of content to occupy the market, once any niche music breaks through the circle, it means that the song has reached the limit of this niche music.
These songs even have the power to change the status quo of the industry.
This is the case with "Song of Psychopath" and also with "Missed by Lover".
Before the lover missed each other, when people heard the words psychedelic rock, they either didn't know what it meant or thought of a wizard performing a ritual on the stage.
At least after "Missed by Lover", many people know that psychedelic rock can also be good to listen to.
This is the most outstanding and top-notch contribution to niche music.
For the general audience, this is another good song that can be played on repeat.
More importantly, when singing, An Lan's heavenly voice, without deliberately pursuing a sense of power, has elevated its layering and quality to a higher level, a true queen-level voice.
At this moment, Han Zhou was simulating the state of a soulful love song singer.
Han Zhou discovered that by simulating the states of certain specific types of singers to get into the role, the quality of the songs he sang would improve significantly.
This time, it was the first time to test it on stage.
"I must have said I loved you hundreds of years ago
It’s just that you forgot and I didn’t remember either…”
When it was repeated for the second time, the entire audience was stunned.
In addition to its excellent composition, the excellence of the singing of this song is also fully revealed.
Same song, same melody, same lyrics.
Han Zhou and An Lan sang together.
The story is mainly told by An Lan, and it is like a woman who has experienced love and is explaining the love she once gave up from a hindsight perspective.
As for Han Zhou's harmony, his voice is like that of a man who stubbornly recalls the deep affection he felt when they first met hundreds of years ago.
An Lan seemed to be saying goodbye to the past.
Han Zhou seemed to be confessing his past.
"I have walked by, passed by, never met
Looking back, turning around, it's still wrong
You and I have never felt this before, bumping into each other at the street corner!!!"
Same lyrics, same melody.
An Lan was like a person who was calmly telling about a past love affair and then letting it go with the wind.
Han Zhou was like a person who regretted that he did not do well enough in the previous relationship and wanted to hold her again.
This sense of contrast adds another layer of psychedelic emotion to the psychedelic music and lyrics.
Feeling lost? Good memories?
Thinking about something? Reminiscing about the separation?
A person clicks on the Recycle Bin on his computer desktop and mocks his past before emptying it.
The other person frantically searched for the past on the computer, and finally found the memory in the Recycle Bin. He treated it as a treasure and restored it carefully.
Simple words, repeated endlessly.
Endless repetition.
Some people have that picture in their mind.
A person, with deep nostalgia, suddenly thinks of going somewhere to find the past.
As a result, I unexpectedly met the person I wanted to find on the road and bumped into him.
Just as he was in tears, the other party snorted impatiently, "Don't you say sorry for bumping into someone?"
The man didn't get a response, so he looked up and saw the man in tears, his eyes full of confusion.
It’s like now, two people who don’t know each other at all meet by chance, and one person crashes into the other’s world.
The other person doesn't have this special feeling.
Thus began a relationship that was destined to end in vain.
When the lyrics repeated themselves, Han Zhou's voice became increasingly depressed, and An Lan's mood became increasingly cold, the third story happened again.
A person is in a dark basement, venting his frustration. He may be playing drums, boxing, or pulling his hair.
The other person's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't know what caused him to have such a momentary palpitation.
Han Zhou on the stage's voice became lower and lower, and his presence should have become less and less.
But many people looked at Han Zhou.
In front of An Lan, Han Zhou looked ordinary, but also more affectionate and regretful.
An Lan on the stage became increasingly cold and ruthless, and should have been someone people should stay away from.
But next to Han Zhou, An Lan attracted more and more attention and made people feel more and more lovable.
It was as if there really was a love story happening on this stage.
Everyone is a poor person.
Not all feelings can last forever.
Most of the world is about missing, losing , and regretting.
People like to be nostalgic, sad and lament.
"You and I have never felt the same, bumping into each other at the street corner
Collision at the intersection
Your mother didn't tell you
Say sorry if you bump into
Today was fine.
Love will miss
Love is missed..."
At this time, Han Zhou was still opening his mouth, but his voice was so low that no sound came out.
Only An Lan's voice became more and more intense.
The drums became more and more intense, the guitars became more and more intense, and the psychedelic electronic sounds became more and more intense.
The lyrics are getting more and more intense, but the lyrics are obviously the same and have not changed at all.
"Da da da da da!"
When you miss your lover, everything is gone.
The ending sound rang out, which was very strange.
It sounded like all the music had stopped and only the drums were still playing.
Then I felt something, no, that’s not right, it’s not the drum set, it’s the guitar that’s still sounding.
When I listened again, it still felt wrong. The guitar was no longer playing, but the psychedelic electronic music was still playing.
The last time I listened to it, no, that’s not right, the psychedelic electronic music was not playing, it was the sea in the distance that was still playing.
When I finally heard the sound of the sea, it seemed that there was wind blowing.
Listening again, I found that it was the speakers of the stereo that were making a harsh noise.
Then, all sound disappeared.
At the scene, the audience was immersed in the ending sound and couldn't extricate themselves.
At this time, An Lan was already in tears.
Han Zhou next to him had a blank expression on his face.
When singing this song together, the two of them couldn't have any form of interaction. Even holding hands would ruin everything.
The moment she let go of the microphone, An Lan burst into tears. She turned around and hugged Han Zhou's waist, her cheek pressed against Han Zhou's chest, tears streaming down her face.
Han Zhou was gazing into the distance, no one knew what he was looking at, but the audience knew that Han Zhou was in a trance as usual.
No one would have thought that just a show, just a random grouping of people, would actually create a pair made in heaven.
This is a song for two people.
It's like a confession, but also like a farewell.
It sounded like an apology, but also like a farewell.
It feels like cooperation, but also like farewell.
It's like declaring that they are the best group on the stage, but also like the last song before bidding farewell to the stage.
Even now that Han Zhou has come out and said that he is quitting the entertainment industry, the audience will think, oh, so that's how it is.
Not surprising at all.
Of course, Han Zhou just has some brain problems and is a bit mentally ill, he is not low in IQ and would not do such a thing.
On the stage, the audience, even the photographer and director, gave the two twenty seconds to hug each other.
It also gives the audience twenty seconds to savor and recall the song.
Many audience members realized that this was the last time Han Zhou and An Lan would sing together on the stage of "Superstar of Tomorrow", and they felt a little reluctant.
Even though the two of them had only sung two songs together.
A tough guy stood up and shouted, "Director! Change the competition system! Let them continue to sing!"
Then there was joyful laughter.
An Lan then let go of his hand with tears on her face and a smile.
Han Zhou also came back to his senses and took out a ball of tissue paper that was crumpled into strange shapes from the pocket of his performance suit.
An Lan knew that Han Zhou had taken that food from someone else's stall when he was eating braised pork.
"Help me wipe it." An Lan said this instead of taking the tissue.
Screams were heard at the scene.
Han Zhou's expressionless face turned into a smile, and he took a piece of paper to wipe An Lan's tears.
A competition? What competition? What is there to compare?
They have lived here for hundreds of years, what is there to compete for?
When the "Tomorrow's Superstar" episode ended, Chen Feng announced the second half of the competition system, which would be a one-on-one PK elimination system with eliminations in each round until the finals. No one discussed or raised any objections to the system.
Each circle has its own things to discuss.
Every circle is discussing that An Lan is going to become a superstar.
Debut is a diva...
Wait, did she make her official debut?!
It seems like she hasn't even made her debut yet.
Of course, when discussing this, we must discuss that when Han Zhou’s talent and Han Zhou’s mental illness appear in the same brain, it is too difficult to separate them.
He is a lunatic in the eyes of passers-by and a god in the hearts of his fans.
Although the number of the former far exceeds that of the latter.
After the show was broadcast, discussions on the Internet were overwhelming.
However, neither Han Zhou nor An Lan had the mind to think about it.
Because the PK competition is about to be recorded, Han Zhou and An Lan will have two rounds of PK here, and the next time will be the finals.
