Chapter 109 People like me
Others either went on stage to perform or were silently preparing in the audience, but as for Yu Zhou, he was drinking.
Blow on the bottle.
Different from the first time, this time the director even prepared a plate of peanuts for him.
The audience laughed like crazy, "There are also peanuts, why don't you order some skewers?"
"Hahaha, I'm really convinced, the program team is very good at handling things."
"Show me what to do if you're hungry?"
Yu Zhou is obviously not on the field, but he is competing on the field. People can also attract attention.
The program became so popular that the director smiled with a smile all over his face.
On the first episode of the program, Yu Zhou made all the audience remember his name with his song "Relief of Sorrows", and there were memes on the Internet about him drinking before going on stage.
The second program, a "Single Love Song", made the mage who had been targeting him rarely choose silence.
For this episode, the director will naturally not miss this opportunity to increase the ratings.
When Yu Zhou came on the stage, the host's first sentence was: "How much did you drink today?"
"A small bottle." Yu Zhou raised the bottle in his hand and made waves.
The sponsors laughed like crazy, they were so conscientious, "Give him more money!"
"The fifth contestant, Yu Zhou, brings you the new song "People Like Me"."
The lights on the stage dimmed, and Yu Zhou sat on a high stool in the middle in the darkness.
A soothing and calming piano sound sounded.
Yu Zhou’s deep and magnetic voice sounded, and the lights on the stage lit up little by little.
“A wonderful person like me
I should have lived a glorious life
How come I have spent more than twenty years
still drifting in the sea of people..."
The few lines Yu Zhou sang did not have any advanced skills. Just show your true feelings
It should be noted that Shaori Nayunzhi was once the best in the world
When he was a child, Yu Zhou felt that he was a great person, handsome, and others praised him for singing well.
But as he grew older, he realized more and more that he might not be that special after all.
The feeling of being forgotten by everyone made him feel uncomfortable, unwilling, but powerless.
Until Haiyin Entertainment spotted him, Yu Zhou was overjoyed and felt that he was indeed gifted. Winning the title of King was like picking something out of a bag.
However, reality hit him hard. There were many talented people, but the company was just casting a wide net.
The moment he figured it out, he accepted his own mediocrity, and then tried to change his destiny through hard work.
All efforts failed.
Yu Zhou’s plain voice began to rise, as if he wanted to talk about something.
“A confused person like me
A searching person like me
A mediocre person like me
How many other people have you seen?”
The simple and unsophisticated lyrics, but every word touches the heart, and resonates with many viewers.
Although "Someone Like Me" is not as shocking or exciting as the previous "Xiaochou",
but every lyric penetrates into the audience's heart.
In this vast sea of people, everyone is an ordinary person.
How many people can become extraordinary people?
Most people are confused in the busyness. They have a little time to think, but they are immediately coerced by the busyness and stumble forward.
Confused, unwilling, and finally doing nothing.
Three stages of life:
Accept the ordinaryness of your father,
Accept the ordinaryness of yourself,
Accept the ordinaryness of your children.
At the end of the first paragraph, Yu Zhou held the microphone in both hands and lowered his head slightly.
The old audience suddenly became energetic: "Come on, come on, classic whistle."
"I've been waiting for this for a long time."
"It makes me want to pee."
"Upstairs, you are really a talent."
Following that, The clear and melodious whistle spread throughout the audience.
Many people at the scene started whistling.
Adding whistles in the interludes of songs has become Yu Zhou's unique skill.
The three instructors on the stage have different expressions.
Although the mage was swaying to the rhythm, his face had no expression. Boss Yang seemed to be immersed in the singing, and Qianqian smiled very happily.
The melodious whistle ended and Yu Zhou continued to sing.
“A vulgar person like me
I never like to pretend to be serious
Why do I occasionally hear old songs
Suddenly I am stunned"
The lyrics are always simple, but they can get into the hearts of the audience.
Plain tunes, ordinary lyrics, not intense or high-spirited, but refreshing like a glass of old wine
It seemed like every lyric was talking about itself, and the audience resonated strongly with it.
“It seems like you are talking about me.”
“Everything is fine, but sometimes when I hear a certain song, I feel a little overwhelmed.”
"Me too."
"Stop talking, I'll smoke a cigarette."
"I'll take one with you."
"I wonder if Yu Zhou was hired by the advertiser. These three songs cost a lot of wine and cigarettes."
It's a pity that the tobacco won't let you go. Advertise, otherwise the program team will get another sponsorship, and the director will shoot his thigh directly in the background.
“A cowardly person like me
Everything should be done with some reserve
How come I have ever thought about risking my life for someone?
Have you ever risked your life for someone?
Have you ever risked your life for someone in your life? ?
A pig’s head chasing a swallow?
Is Cadillac chasing high-speed rail?
Is Kawasaki H2 chasing high-speed rail?
Is the 22-year-old semi-truck running on the national highway at a speed of 140 kilometers per hour?
Is it a 1v5 ride to campus alone for three days in 2022?
No matter how cowardly a person is, there will be times when his blood boils over.
Is it just worth it?
In love, when someone must be desperate for their own safety, the outcome is actually doomed.
“A lonely person like me
A stupid person like me
A person like me who refuses to be ordinary
How many people are there in the world?"
At the end of a song, the lights on the stage were still dim, making it difficult to see Yu Zhou’s face.
The lyrics scrawled on the screen, the lonely figure in the center of the stage Singer.
There is no stage effect, no live cheers, no deafening music, just Yu Zhou singing in a low voice on the stage.
The audience has the illusion that they are not at the show. , but it's a bit like being in a bar.
Lonely listener, lonely resident singer.
The scene was silent, and many people's eyes were red.
No matter how classic a song is, there will always be people who dismiss it because they cannot relate to it.
However, this is a song that is enough to impress most people.
The plain melody and heart-wrenching lyrics sing too much of the hypocrisy in the bones of ordinary people like us.
Lies never hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
"Someone Like Me" is a song that is more poignant than "Relieve Sorrow". It is like a sharp knife, layer by layer, it wraps up those things that have to be wrapped up in the human heart. The skin is peeled off, and in the end only the original innocent heart remains. There is nothing specific in the lyrics, but the most vulnerable points of the human heart are everywhere. The pain in the hearts of ordinary people is all sung in this song.
The lyrics use parallelism to take care of all aspects of people. There is always one word that can touch people's hearts.
You don’t need to sing so vividly, the audience will figure it out on their own.
"Would anyone feel sorry for someone as incomprehensible as me?"
Yu Zhou lowered his head and sang the last line.
Use sincerity and kindness to give the last knife. This knife is like a causal weapon, ignoring defense, ignoring the target, and stabbing straight into the heart.
Will anyone feel sorry for me?
Yu Zhou issued a soul torture, but no one at the scene could answer.
Because I feel sorry for myself, I wonder, where are others? Do others feel sorry for me?
In this comparison and involution society, everyone is competing to see who is taller, who is stronger than who, and who can run faster, for fear of being mediocre or being ignored.
Yu Zhou sat down and told everyone in a plain singing voice: It doesn’t matter, we are all like this.
All living beings, you and I are ordinary people.
Just like this song, you, me, and him are all such people. We are ordinary, but not mediocre.
If no one cares about us, then we can just feel sorry for ourselves.
Not sentimental, not sensational, not showing off skills, using ordinary singing style and simple lyrics to tell a story to everyone.
A story about ordinary people.
The music stopped and there was a brief silence.
Yu Zhou raised the microphone, "I am Yu Zhou, a person just like you."
The words have not yet fallen.
There were cheers and screams.
The applause was like thunder.
Accompanied by a crisp whistle.
Yu Zhou bent down to thank him.
"Yu Zhou Yu Zhou Yu Zhou."
Someone took the lead and shouted his name.
All the spectators were cheering his name.
This is the first time that someone has been treated so enthusiastically by the audience since the show was broadcast.
"Xiaochou" brought cheers from the audience, but no one called his name like this.
"Single Love Song" shocked everyone and the whole audience sang loudly, but no one shouted his name.
But now, "Someone Like Me" has made all the audience shout his name spontaneously.
Yu Zhou didn’t know what to say, so he simply bowed to the audience again.
The atmosphere at the scene became more lively now, with the audience, host and judges all cheering.
Until the scene calmed down, the host said: "I plan to go back and listen to this song a hundred times again, because I am also such a person."
It was the judges' turn to comment, and everyone looked at the mage, curious about what amazing words he would say this time.
Maybe it was because he was moved by this song, maybe because the popularity of two consecutive songs hit him hard in the face, maybe because he was affected by the pressure of public opinion, maybe because Nuoyan was too popular during this period.
This time, the Master finally changed his attitude towards Yu Zhou. He did not treat Yu Zhou coldly or sarcastically. He also gave himself a step up: "This song is very good. I think people still have to push it." , after forcing you, your song is also very good." Then he voted for his own contestant.
There were a lot of boos at the scene.
Boss Yang looked at him with red eyes: "Thank you for your words. Will anyone feel sorry for a mysterious person like me?"
"This song of yours is at least a good addition among folk songs, but I hope you can win like me, so I vote for your opponent." Qian Qian, who defended Yu Zhou twice in a row, said made an unexpected decision.
Two votes versus two votes, Yu Zhou and another opponent need to decide the winner based on the real-time popularity on the spot.
Yu Zhou is full of confidence in this. With the popularity of the first two songs, he is no longer the unknown person he was at the beginning. At this moment, "Xiaochou" and "Single Love Song" have dominated the charts on all major platforms.
Coupled with the support of a promising reputation, it can be said that he is already the most popular contestant on this show.
He could not imagine the possibility that he would lose.
On the big screen, the voting results came out. Yu Zhou crushed his opponents with 2 million votes and successfully advanced to the top nine.
Well deserved!
The applause sounded again and lasted for a long time.
"Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to the top nine."
"You deserve it!"
"Yu Zhou, is this song tailor-made for you by Teacher Nuo Yan?"
The host always uses honorific titles for Xu Nuo, not only because of the director's explanation, but also out of respect from the heart.
“No.” Yu Zhou unexpectedly denied it.
“No?” The host was slightly stunned.
“Is this a song written by Teacher Nuoyan for myself?”
The judges all shook their heads, "It doesn't look like it. Teacher Nuoyan was famous at a young age and became a master composer at the age of 22. Who dares to say that he is ordinary?"
Yu Zhou nodded, "Actually, when I got this song, My first reaction was that Teacher Nuoyan was so awesome that he actually wrote a song based on my experience.”
He smiled sheepishly and said, “I was touched and ready to thank him.” ."
"What then?" the host asked with interest.
The audience is also very interested in the story behind the creation of the song.
"Teacher Nuoyan stopped me and said don't be so sentimental."
"Hahaha."
The scene was filled with laughter.
Yu Zhou raised his head and said seriously: "Teacher Nuoyan said that this is a song for everyone. He said that no matter who he is, he will have a small and fragile side."
" Only by accepting your own ordinaryness can you gain inner peace. ”
The applause broke out again, much more enthusiastic than before.
“Thank you Teacher Nuoyan and thank you Yu Zhou for giving everyone this heart-warming song.” The host applauded gently, “From watching the live broadcast, I found that there is a question that everyone is curious about. "
"Say."
"Why did Teacher Nuoyan write a single love song in the second round?"
Yu Zhou revealed one? Smiling awkwardly but politely, "This matter involves Teacher Nuoyan's privacy."
The audience and judges were immediately enlivened, and their gossip souls were burning brightly.
"Okay, okay, I just love hearing this."
"Say it quickly."
Yu Zhou cupped his hands in front of the camera, "Teacher Nuoyan, please don't do it if you see it." Hit me.”
“It’s actually because it’s Singles’ Day.”
"???"
Yu Zhou saw everyone's doubts and added: "Teacher Nuoyan is a hard-working single, so he was full of resentment that day and decided to spread some poison on everyone."
“Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard.”
“Nuoyan is actually single? Isn’t this a sense of substitution?”
“Even if I am single, I still have A single man with money and good looks.”
"Didn't there be scandal rumors two days ago?"
"Do you believe the scandal? Yu Zhou has refuted the rumors."
The host echoed a few words, which was also explained by the director, Let him clarify Nuoyan's scandal at the appropriate time.
"Then Yu Zhou, the next round of competition..."
"Yes." Yu Zhou replied before he finished: "It's still Teacher Nuoyan's new song."
The crowd cheered.
In front of the TV, Liu Shulan was so sad.
“Look at Yu Zhou, he has been tepid for so many years and how hot has he become in just a few years.”
“What is it like?”
"Now outsiders call Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou the Hengha Generals of Promise, and they call them Haiyin Entertainment Two Heroes." Liu Shulan glanced at her and said quietly.
"Very good." Lin Wanqing said calmly.
Liu Shulan hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel and said: "I think this guy Xu Nuo did it on purpose. He gave out good songs one by one, but in the end he had nothing."
"Yu Zhou Shen Kaiwen is also from the company.”
“Oh, can it be the same? Can their relationship with Xu Nuo be compared to yours?”
“What is the relationship?”
Good guy, I typed more than 300 words of gratitude by hand, and I feel numb
