This star is a bit wild

Chapter 14 A Sign of the Times
"Lydia? Chu Hang actually chose Lydia? Who gave him the courage? Is my brother so brave?"

"Lydia is a triple champion, she's the one who ripped through the entire Chinese camp. How desperate must Chu Hang be to choose to challenge Lydia?"

"Awesome! I admit that the Singer production team really understands the audience. Isn't this the most interesting part?"

"This seems to be the first singer who dared to challenge Lydia since the show started, right?"

"Hot Fact: Chu Hang and Lydia are the same age, but the former is already a rising star in the European and American music scene, while the latter has only performed well on 'The Voice of China'. The gap is huge!"

"As a pure passerby, to be fair, Chu Hang's performance in the qualifying round was quite impressive, and that original song 'Fireworks' was also very good. I've been playing it on repeat for days!"

"Donna: It's over, the sky is falling. I thought a rescuer had arrived, but I didn't expect a death squad to come!"

"Damn it, Chu Hang, you're going to lose tonight. You have such an important match today, and you were still arguing with me online last night. Are you still a fucking human?"

"Yo, I found a licking dog, suck suck suck~"

……

According to the discussions among netizens in the past two days, some people speculated that Chu Hang might choose to challenge Su Hong and Yang Anjin, and some people speculated that Chu Hang would choose three other foreign singers to challenge, but no one speculated that Chu Hang would choose to challenge Lydia.

The reason is simple, the winning rate is too low.

Although the performance Chu Hang put on in the qualifying round was amazing, it depended on who Chu Hang was compared with. Compared with the other contestants in the qualifying round, Chu Hang was indeed rare, but if compared with Lydia, Chu Hang was still a little bit inferior.

……

In Donna's preparation room, she was also unaware of Chu Hang's choice in advance, so when she saw on the high-definition realistic TV that Chu Hang chose to challenge Lydia tonight, just as netizens joked, the smile on Donna's face suddenly froze.

Brother!

Is it that the appearance fee given by the program team is not high enough?
Why can't you get over it?
There are so many easy difficulty dungeons, but you have to grind the hell difficulty, right?!
Facing the live camera, Donna forced a smile and praised Chu Hang, but in fact, she was thinking a lot. Although she was trying hard to control her emotions, many attentive netizens still discovered some clues, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.

……

In the preparation room, Lydia was daydreaming, thinking about where to get a midnight snack after the show to reward her Western stomach that had suffered for many years, but she never expected that someone would suddenly cue her.

Ok?
Are you being challenged?

Lydia, who was daydreaming, quickly came back to her senses. She looked at Chu Hang, who was holding a whiteboard on the high-definition and realistic TV. A strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she suddenly became interested in tonight's game.

“Lidya, Chu Hang chooses to challenge you.”

The personal assistant sitting next to Lydia reminded her.

"Wow!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Lydia covered her mouth with her hands and showed a hint of surprise at the right time.

……

After the singer who announced the result decided on the challenger, the whole program got on track. Lydia was pulled out from the original sequence of performances, and subsequent singers took her place in turn. As the challenger, she will be the last to appear tonight.

The first singer to perform today is a foreign singer named Flora Rogers. She is best at jazz music and is about the same age as Donna. Because she is very dedicated in every competition, she has won the love of many people although she was not well-known in China.

The opening and closing positions are often more difficult.

For example, in the last show, Su Hong was unfortunately drawn to the opening position, and he unfortunately chose a rock song that he was not familiar with. The result was terrible. The show had just started, and the hot search about [Su Hong is unpleasant] was already at the top of the hot search, causing Su Hong to fall deeply into emo before the live broadcast was over.

Today, the songs Flora chose were still in her comfort zone. Although the order of performance was not satisfactory, there were no obvious major problems with the whole song, and it was considered a normal performance.

After Flora's successful opening, the online singers began to take the stage one after another. I don't know if it was because the psychological pressure of the announcement competition was relatively small, Donna and Su Hong, who had not been able to perform stably in the first two rounds, performed very well in this round. Another Chinese singer Yang Anjin still sang the same folk songs.

In the blink of an eye, the show came to an end.

"Boss, it's our turn to prepare for the performance."

After receiving instructions from the director team, Xia Sijia turned to look at Chu Hang beside her and gestured.

"OK, let's go."

Chu Hang nodded slightly, picked up his electric guitar, stood up from the sofa first, and then, led by Xia Sijia, walked towards the backstage for the performance.

Soon, Chu Hang arrived at the preparation area, where he saw the challenger he had chosen for tonight.

"Hello, hello, I'm Lydia."

This European and American pop diva has a typical Western appearance and skin color, with three-dimensional facial features and a tanned complexion. Tonight she wore a black off-shoulder dress that perfectly showed off her voluptuous and sexy figure. Her long brown hair naturally draped over her shoulders. She looked elegant and confident, and very charming. That kind of charm transcends countries and races.

"Hello, I'm Chu Hang."

Chu Hang reached out and held the other party's right hand, which was offered to him. Their fingertips touched briefly before separating, and he responded with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to your performance, keep going!"

Lydia looked very relaxed. Chu Hang could tell that she was really looking forward to his performance tonight, and her encouragement came from the heart.

"The same to you!"

The two exchanged a few brief words and then didn't say anything else because the host Han Zheng in front had already started announcing the show.

Chu Hang held his electric guitar and walked slowly towards the designated location. However, he had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned back.

"Scarlett, can I borrow your sunglasses?"

Chu Hang pointed at the sunglasses that Xia Sijia wore on her collar as a decoration. They were a pair of retro cat-eye sunglasses with a narrow and slender frame.

Xia Sijia was stunned for a moment, then quickly took off the cat-eye sunglasses from her collar and handed them to Chu Hang: "Boss, take them and use them as you like!"

"Thank you, I'll give it back to you after the show."

Chu Hang smiled at Xia Sijia, then returned to his designated position.

"Next, let's welcome tonight's singer Chu Hang to perform another of his original songs for us. Let's give him a round of applause!"

As the host Han Zheng's voice fell, the stage lights slowly dimmed. At the same time, for the audience watching the live broadcast on TV and the Internet, several words slowly appeared in the lower left corner of the screen.

……

Song: Shame

Singer: Chu Hang
Lyricist: Chu Hang

Composer: Chu Hang

Arranger: Chu Hang

……

"Thumping!"

"Thumping!"

"Thumping!"

After the simulated heartbeat sound rang three times in succession, the entire stage quietly lit up. Then, Chu Hang, wearing a red crystal denim suit and cat-eye sunglasses, slowly walked to the center of the stage.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps...

In just less than ten steps, Chu Hang's temperament changed drastically. If Chu Hang was humble, sunny and introverted before going on stage, then Chu Hang at this moment was completely arrogant and unruly, and his arrogance was that of contempt for everything.

Lydia, standing in the preparation area, looked at Chu Hang's back and could naturally feel the changes that had taken place in Chu Hang. This made Lydia's eyes look even more strange, and her curiosity was completely aroused.

……

Chu Hang walked to the center of the stage. Although his eyes were covered by cat-eye sunglasses, everyone could still feel Chu Hang's coolness and arrogance.

People often say that being handsome is a feeling.

At this moment, Chu Hang gave everyone this feeling. Even if you didn't look at his face, but only saw his figure, you would still feel that he was very handsome.

After the scene was completely quiet, Chu Hang raised his right hand holding the pick and swept it hard across the strings.

The next second, the surging sound waves created by the electric guitar surged out.

“Yi yo——”

“Yi yo——”

……

In the crowd

both you and me
Meet each other and think about each other
In the crowd

是 你 是 我
Pretending to be decent and smiling
……

There was no long prelude, no long preparation. Chu Hang's voice with a metallic sound and full of power instantly swept the whole audience. He started with the high note of A2, making everyone present experience what it means to reach the peak at the beginning.

……

No need to say too much
Know it yourself
What do you and i want to do

Don't care too much
There is no need to be sad

One day you will understand me
……

Passionate rhythm and unrestrained shouts.

Chu Hang's crisp, high-pitched and passionate singing made everyone's adrenaline soar. It was almost ten o'clock and it was just a new song, but the feeling of blood boiling spread quickly like a virus, making everyone's hearts restless.

This is the charm of "Shame"!

This represents the pinnacle of Chinese rock music in Chu Hang’s previous life!
At the 1994 Hong Kong Hung Hom concert, Dou Wei opened the curtain of Chinese rock music with the song "Shame". At that time, everyone felt that "Shame" was just the beginning and the future of Chinese rock music would be even more brilliant.

However, no one would have thought that thirty years later, "Shame" is still an unsurpassed classic. It is like a mountain that is difficult to climb, making all rock music fans unforgettable, and it has become a symbol of an era.

Even today, thirty years later, whenever the prelude of "Shame" sounds, it still makes countless people in the streets and alleys involuntarily get agitated, and it still spreads everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Before drawing the [Musician] talent card, Chu Hang had not planned to sing this song tonight, because it was too difficult to perform the song perfectly.

In the past, there were countless singers who chose to cover "Shame", but not to mention surpassing him, there was no one who could even match Dou Wei. Even Tao Zheji was forced to the point of laying eggs on the spot, but he still couldn't sing it.

Although the range of this song is not wide, it only has one octave, and the highest note only reaches a8. Its high notes can only be considered a normal value in rock songs, but the problem is that the composition of this song writes this octave interval entirely in the middle and high pitch range, and even the main chorus has no obvious tone difference.

That is to say, during the five and a half minutes of this song, the singer's voice does not get any chance to relax or rest. He must ensure that his vocal cords are always in a state of high tension and high-frequency vibration, and he must also complete the highest note of a2 that is repeated more than ten times.

In addition, the singing of the entire song must always be crisp, passionate, clear and thorough, and cannot rely on screaming to hit the notes, which further increases the difficulty of singing this song.

Under this circumstance, the song "Shame" sung by Dou Wei at the 1994 Hong Kong Hung Hom concert became his last song, and he also earned the name "Dou Xian".

If you are even three points like him, you will be at your best.

If you are 70% like him, you can be called a god.

In his previous life, even at his peak, Chu Hang could only be 70% like him. But today, Chu Hang can already be 100% like him, or even...

Beyond!
