Perfect Superstar Chapter 98

PS Chapter 98 – Directly Promoted
Tan Hong sat up straight, and became attentive and serious.
Chen Fei’ers eyes were wide open, and there was a touch of surprise in her eyes.
Zhen Zhen gently nodded her head, the corners of her lips was filled with a knowing smile, and had a trace of joy in discovering a treasure.
Lin Zhijie was silent and no one knows what he was thinking.
The 1,500 spectators at the scene were quietly listening to Lu Chen’s singing, and no one was making any noise.
The style of this song “Life on A String” is quite different from Gao Feng’s “In Spring”. Although the lyrics are sentimental and nostalgic, the style and mood of the song is not gloomy and depressing, but full of gentle affection.
Lu Chen’s interpretation of this song, without any impassioned or heavy sorrow, is casual or even lazy, giving the impression of an autumn afternoon, and he’s in a boulevard covered with frost and red leaves, sitting on a bench and singing by himself, telling passer-by love stories of his own.
“……
Love life on a string,
I can’t sing forever.
On the empty road,
Covered with confusion.
I’m willing to struggle,
With mixed feelings of hope,
After all, it’s still the same,
It’s not the end you want, Isn’t it?
……”
At the chorus part, the mood changes. It’s about looking for an answer that’s already known. The power of emotion is greatly enhanced!
To be fair, “Life on A String” is inferior to “In Spring”. It lacks the passion and climax that makes people feel numb and trembling. Therefore, it is very difficult to touch the hearts of the audience. If the title of the song did not coincide with the theme of “Singing China”, Lu Chen might not have chosen it as the first song to sing in the qualifying round.
But it is still a good work. At least it is pleasant to hear, and he is able to show off his talent with it!
At least the audience feels very comfortable listening to it, smoothing out their fluctuating mood caused by listening to “In Spring” just now.
“……
It’s not as good as everything,
You and I are fine!
Anyone is afraid of complexity,
Let’s simply live a simple life!”
In 4 minutes, Lu Chen finished singing the song “Life on A String”.
There was a warm of applause in the studio, but not as enthusiastic as before, and only a small number of audiences got up.
The four judges applauded at the same time, but none of them stood up.
The applause soon quieted down. Chen Fei’er said, “Lu Chen, I like this song very much. You are a very talented singer and composer, so I am very happy to give you a full mark!”
Applause broke out again.
Lu Chen bowed and said, “Thank you, Teacher Chen!”
The Queen of Sweet Song’s beautiful voice sounded very sincere, and she really likes the song without any pretense, and her evaluation of Lu Chen is very good, so she gave him full score.
It’s just that Lu Chen feels that this sentence seems a little strange.
Zhen Zhen said, “Nowadays, in the domestic pop music world, there are not many people who can really sink down to create works of their own, especially young people, and you have shown me the future of original works and the power it has. I hope you will continue to work hard to create better and better works!”
“Like Fei’er, I’ll give you a full mark!”
“Thank you, Teacher Zhen Zhen!”
At this moment, Tan Hong coughed twice and asked, “Do you have any other works?”
Lu Chen nodded. “Yes.”
Tan Hong’s eyes lit up and asked, “Can you sing another song?”
In the qualifying rounds, some contestants were eliminated by four red light before they even finished half of their song, while others sang a complete song, and were able to stay on the stage to communicate with the superstar judges.
And the reason for that is strength!
Tan Hong himself is an excellent singer, and he has always been very serious about original works.
Therefore, unlike Chen Fei’er, he didn’t think that Lu Chen’s beautiful song should be passed with full marks. He’s paying more attention to the talent of the latter.
In the circle, Tan Hong also has a good reputation for promoting future generations.
He was giving Lu Chen a chance to show off himself.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment.
Chen Fei’er noticed his hesitation and hurriedly said, “Big Brother Tan, why don’t you let him sing his other works in the quarter-finals?”
Lu Chen’s hesitation made her misunderstand that Lu Chen could not come up with a better song than “Life on A String”, which disappointed Tan Hong and affected his popularity.
Although this is a very small thing, one should know that the qualification round is also broadcasted live to the national audience. Lu Chen’s first performance score is already very high, but if his other works are much inferior and his singing is unsatisfactory, he might lose points.
Chen Fei’er’s thoughts were exquisite, and she has a favorable impression of Lu Chen. Therefore, she politely reminded.
Tan Hong also realized this and said, “Un, it’s better to sing it in the quarter-finals.”
He was just purely happy to see Lu Chen’s talent, and forgot for a moment that this was a talent show.
Letting Lu Chen sing another original song was against the rules.
To everyone’s surprise, Lu Chen answered, “Teacher Tan, Teacher Chen, in fact, I have a piece of work that has already been sung by contestant No. 0029 before me.”
Contestant No. 0029?
The four judges, together with more than 1,000 spectators at the scene, were stunned – what work?
Zhen Zhen was the fastest to react. She asked in an incredulous tone, “You’re saying you wrote “In spring”?”
As the editor-in-chief of Pop Music magazine, Zhen Zhen’s question is not very standard, but everyone could understand her shock and everyone felt that this was inconceivable!
The lead song of the Wandering band’s first album, “In Spring”, which has gotten popular inside and outside the circle, has just been sung by Gao Feng and won countless praises. Moreover, it was filled with vicissitudes of life and profound works. But unexpectedly, it was written by a young Lu Chen?
Many people were unable to believe it and the studio was in an uproar!
Tan Hong and Chen Fei’er looked at each other.
Neither of them thinks that Lu Chen is lying.
As the first live talent show of Beijing Satellite TV, “Singing China” is broadcasted not only to China, but also to most of Asia, and its influence is bound to be great.
So, if he lies, then the lie is too easy to expose. What face will he have in the circle in the future?
And Lu Chen doesn’t look like a man who wants to ruin his future here, therefore what he said must be true.
It’s incredible, but it’s true.
Lin Zhijie suddenly said, “I remember that the Wandering band’s “In Spring” was composed by Lu Chen, and their other two songs, “I Want to Have A Home” and “Reason to be Strong”, similarly were also your work!”
Lin Zhijie, the music director of Flying Stone Records, has always paid great attention to the new trends in the industry and the new works, so he immediately recalled them.
Lu Chen smiled and said, “The Wandering band and I used to sing in Houhai Forget Worries Bar.”
He didn’t forget to put up a small advertisement for Forget Worries Bar, which can also be regarded as returning Chen Jianhao’s favor. (TN: Chen Jianhao gave Lu Chen a pass card so that he didn’t have to go through the audition. Chapter 87.)
Chen Fei’er murmured, “That’s very impressive…”
She has heard all three songs of the Wandering band, and her favorite song is “I Want to Have A Home”.
Unexpectedly, they were all written by Lu Chen.
The opening match of “Singing China” really opened a big treasure!
Tan Hong nodded hard.
Lin Zhijie smiled bitterly and shook his head. He continued, “Lu Chen, I must apologize to you!”
“Because just now I thought you were the kind of singer who likes to be sensational, but now I know I was wrong, so in order to make up for my mistake, I decided…”
Before his voice fell, he suddenly raised his right hand high and slapped it hard at the big golden button in the middle of the judges’ table!
Buzz ~.
The deafening sound resounded through the whole studio, accompanied by the muffled sound of “bang bang bang”, and countless colorful confetti from the high ceiling fell. The scene was brimming with joy and festive atmosphere.
At the same time, on the background screen of the large stage, at the same time, there appeared several golden characters of “Congratulations for advancing to the top 32”!
Direct promotion!
Lu Chen does not need to participate in the quarter-final round, and was directly promoted to the top 32!
