Chapter 202: I Only Have Feelings for You
Chapter 202
Especially every time he plays the piano, fans always say, \'The one sitting in front of the piano must be a prince\', which shows how highly our audience evaluates Teacher Gu.
Today, at the invitation of fans, I sincerely invite you on behalf of all fans to come up and sing, because too many fans like to hear you play the piano, but some fans also want to hear you sing. We finally decided to invite you to sing and play the piano. Do you feel embarrassed?"
Gu Minghua took the microphone:
"Of course I don\'t feel embarrassed. It is my honor that my works can be appreciated by everyone."
As he spoke, he walked up and said,
"But the preparation was hasty. My singing is not very professional, please bear with me."
After saying that, he opened the piano key cover and performed "Meet You" by Sun Yanzi.
"What will be the dialogue when I meet someone
How far in the future is the one I\'m waiting for
I hear the wind from the subway and the sea of people
I\'m lining up holding the number card of love
..."
When Gu Minghua performed, the whole audience kept quiet, even breathing slowed down, for fear of missing a note. What surprised them even more was Gu Minghua\'s singing voice.
Just as he had said before, although he had studied music since he was a child, singing was never his forte. He put more energy into composing. Although he occasionally wrote lyrics, composing was where his interest lied.
When he sang, he did not use any skills. It was precisely because of this that his singing voice sounded sincere and moving.
He only sang a short paragraph and walked to the center of the stage and bowed to everyone after finishing. Only then did the applause sound.
[Hayden is really great!]
[Brother, debut! Are there any competitions that brother can participate in?]
[The competitions your brother participates in are all formal international competitions. This time he probably didn\'t come to enter the industry either, but was only invited as a music consultant. According to a friend in the industry, Hayden has received a job offer from a university. Of course, there are also other bands that want him, but he hasn\'t made a decision yet.]
[Then it must be the Imperial Capital College of Music. I heard my teacher say they were going to recruit some teachers with high musical literacy after school starts.]
...
After Gu Minghua left, the stage finally welcomed the next performance.
The lights dimmed...
"A smile, no matter how beautiful or sweet it is, is nothing special if it\'s not yours..."
"Tears, no matter how bitter or salty, with your comfort it\'s sunny again..."
"No matter how close or tight, without a hug it still feels too far..."
"I only feel something for you in the whole world..."
The curtains slowly opened, the spotlights on the stage lit up, fifteen people, divided into groups of three, struck poses under five spotlights.
Different from the vibrant original song, the adapted work presented on stage was more like a musical.
Daniel sat to one side a bit nervously. Although the result of this adaptation was from everyone, the way of presentation was actively proposed by him. At that time it was also questioned by Lei Mei, who was also a mentor, but after repeated changes, his idea was finally adopted.
Nervous the whole time...
Only when he heard bursts of cheers from under the stage did he breathe a sigh of relief. The overall strength of this group was still good, so the result was fine.
Everyone who came to the scene today felt it was worthwhile. The performances prepared by the four instructors were very carefully designed.
The subsequent five-person group match included Qin Wei, Sun Tiantian and others singing "Yueya Bay",
Jo Sixiao, Wei Lai, Shen Qingqing and others singing "Knife Horse Maid",
and Xin Ya, Yan Jinyu and Zhang Yuru singing “Foreveryoung".
What impressed people the most was Kong Yi, Si You and others singing "Nameless", perfectly showing each person\'s characteristics, and the cooperation between them could be called perfect.
After a short break, it was finally time for today\'s individual match.
Whether on or off stage, everyone was looking forward to yet nervous. After this individual performance, the artists would be compared with the preliminary by the media to see if there was any improvement at a glance. Moreover, there was additional paid voting by the audience in this competition, accounting for a large proportion of the total score.
The audience was also very nervous. There were their idols on stage, and no one wanted their sister to get low votes and be eliminated, because that could only mean her fans were useless and couldn\'t even vote.
So this was not only a survival match between artists, but also a contest for face between fans.
Just as the various fan groups said before, this competition concerned their sister\'s face. They hoped everyone would wholeheartedly vote only for their own.
The first on stage was Xin Ya.
In the preliminary, her singing and piano performance of "Every Breath You Take" was excellent. From the first public performance to now, her performance had always been excellent and stable. It was just that she didn\'t have much popularity with the public, plus no popular works, so every time after her performance was praised, that was it.
However, Rising Star Entertainment was still very optimistic about her. After all, she was excellent in every aspect except for one big breakout opportunity.
For this, the company spent a lot of money buying votes just to debut her.
This time, Xin Ya chose a song "New Bud" written by a singer from her company for her.
Judging from her performance this time, as long as the votes were supportive, advancing was absolutely no problem.
The next contestants also successively showcased their works. Most of them were actresses with rich performance experience in front of the camera but lacked stage experience. So they seemed a little immature in the preliminary. After being honed over this period of time, they had all made different degrees of progress, and many had made breakthroughs.
Qiao danced the “Banished Fairy” that everyone had been most looking forward to this time. Fans had been hoping she would perform it again, but she had never given any response.
And this time she took the initiative to perform it. Compared to the first time she danced it many years ago, this time the immaturity was gone, replaced by a touch of charm and allure.
Her dance skills had not deteriorated with age thanks to her self-discipline and never giving up.
The barrage reached a climax during her performance. After all, she had many fans and had always been very popular with the public. So every time she took the stage, she would become the center of attention.
So when people talked about her online, they all felt she was undoubtedly going to debut in C position in this competition.
Youyou also found her own style. Her dance foundation was indeed good, but jazz had never suited her. She chose street dance this time, which seemed to better demonstrate her explosive dancing power.
As for Tiantian, she still focused on her vocals. Although her dancing had also improved greatly, transforming someone in a short time was really difficult, and the gap with professional dancers was still very obvious.
But her dance this time did make a small shocking impression on the audience.
Her talent for dance was indeed limited. Every time it relied on her hard work. But in this personal performance, she also proved one thing to everyone:
Often if you work hard enough at one thing, even if you don\'t have talent, you can still go very far.
Next was Qin Wei. Her performance was also what everyone looked forward to the most. After all, she was a bit of an outlier on the preliminary stage, neither singing nor dancing, entering the competition in almost last place.
Surviving several rounds of competition without being eliminated was a miracle in itself.
All along the way, opinions of her were polarized.
But anyway, everyone was now heatedly discussing:
[Is she going to stir things up this time? Or is she going to demonstrate real skills?]
