Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Everyone in the group was extremely envious of Shen Yutong. As soon as the competition started, they immediately tuned in to "The Wind Blows Through the Wheat Fields".

The food in someone else's bowl always tastes the best; in their eyes, this song is simply irresistible...

The pastoral style is not common in the Chinese music scene, and even Yu Wei had never touched on it before. This is his first pastoral song.

As expected of a sniper rifle he personally issued, it's definitely different.

Qi Yuan and his group were extremely envious; the moment the intro started, their envy, jealousy, and hatred reached their peak.

A string of exquisite piano notes leaped out, each note like a carefully polished crystal, clear yet not shrill.

The most wonderful thing is the faint, almost imperceptible electronic beat; in just a few dozen seconds of prelude, a three-dimensional and exquisite acoustic space is constructed.

A sense of tranquility, like that of nature, washes over them; even from the very first note, they are already experiencing the atmosphere of pastoral music.

Chapter Three: [General.]
To put it simply: [It'll do.]
Great Ape: [Barely audible.]
The captivating prelude was accompanied by the sound of teeth grinding, and just then, Shen Yutong's voice rang out.

Under the distant blue sky
Golden waves of wheat rippled across the fields.

The very first line of lyrics stunned them; there were no metaphors or subtle hints, no direct declarations of emotion, only a picture.

Yu Wei has many songs that evoke vivid imagery, but this one is different; it has a cinematic quality...

First, there's a wide panorama of azure sky, then the camera slowly pans down, revealing golden waves of wheat swaying in the wind.

They "saw" this scene, not only because of the detailed description in the lyrics, but also because Shen Yutong's voice itself had color and texture.

She pronounced the word "azure" very softly, with her vocal cords barely vibrating. She used her breath to push the sound out of her lips and teeth, truly like the slightly unfocused gaze when looking at the distant horizon.

The "golden" tone dipped slightly, a hint of warmth spreading through the throat, but the tone remained restrained, allowing the vowels to resonate naturally.

The most wonderful part is the word "surging". Shen Yutong handled it with extreme softness, each word like a wheat ear bending elastically in the wind. They could even hear the rustling sound of wheat awns rubbing against each other.

This isn't singing; it's practically a meticulous painting of sound.

Shen Yutong is naturally adept at uncovering the poetic quality of songs. In her hands, this song is like a devout believer meeting their master, a perfect match.

Even many of her fans were somewhat surprised; her performance this time was quite unexpected.

Clearly, through this song, she grasped that glimmer of hope for taking things a step further.

As the verses continued, everyone's astonishment grew; Shen Yutong's performance completely overturned their understanding of "good singing skills."

Her voice always seemed to hover on the edge of breath, with many of the final notes almost disappearing into the air, only to be precisely picked up at the beginning of the next sentence.

"When the breeze carries the scent of harvest"

The wind blew against my face

I remember your gentle words
It brought tears to my eyes.

As the chorus approaches, the melody finally begins to rise and fall noticeably, but it remains restrained.

Shen Yutong's voice here was infused with a bright warmth, like sunlight finally piercing through the clouds and illuminating a corner of the wheat field.

Just when they thought the song would go straight into the second part, the following section brought the most stunning moment of the entire song.

Without any lyrics, Shen Yutong began to repeatedly chant "Hmm..." The melody was extremely simple, just a few notes looping.

But within this cycle, the harmony grows richer and richer, layer upon layer, like the clouds at dusk being dyed different shades of gold, orange, and crimson by the setting sun.

Her "hmm" is no longer just a syllable, but a true complex of sighs and longing. All the previous lyrics seem to have been a prelude to this chant. People's understanding of pastoral songs and poetry is limited to beautiful lyrics, but Yu Wei goes against the grain, arranging the most brilliant part of the song as a wordless chant, without a single word.

This is the most exquisite part of the entire song, and the core of its aesthetic expression.

The vocal section accounts for nearly a third of the entire song, with the rhythmic cadence of the acoustic guitar arpeggios resembling the undulating waves of wheat, while the vocal humming sounds like the wind sweeping across the wheat field.

The two work together to simulate the original rhythm of nature, which is what the song title refers to as "the wind blowing through the wheat fields".

This interplay of silence and sound carries emotional weight and is a paradigm of Eastern aesthetics of leaving blank space.

As the beautiful singing fades, the song's ending is handled with great poetic flair. All the complex arrangements gradually disappear, leaving only a few crystalline piano notes that gently strike again and again in the boundless silence.

The pastoral scene referred to in "The Wind Blows Through the Wheat Fields" may not be far away, but rather within everyone's ability to hear the sound of the wind.

The wordless melody will eventually grow into new seeds of wheat deep within every weary soul, eternally rolling with the rhythm of life.

Everyone took off their headphones. The night remained silent, but their hearts seemed to have undergone a silent baptism.

They were amazed by the song's unique style, and Yu Wei's creative ability was well showcased, but Shen Yutong's performance was undoubtedly outstanding in bringing it to life.

To put it simply: [It'll do.]
Great Ape: [Barely audible.]
Qi Yuan and the others were still envious, but after listening to the song, they were more convinced. Despite their envy, they realized that even if they were to sing the song themselves, they couldn't capture the same feeling...

Rather than saying Yu Wei was biased, it's more accurate to say that their strength was insufficient. It's a very simple reason: the sect leader's realm was too high, and ordinary disciples couldn't use the magical treasures he bestowed.

If they don't work hard to keep up, even if Yu Wei wants to carry them in the future, their skill levels will probably be mismatched.

The netizens, still immersed in the lingering charm of the song, snapped back to reality and realized they were still in a competition. However, given the current situation, there was no need to consider who to vote for.

"So You're Here Too" is also good, but it's not particularly original. This song, "The Wind Blows Through the Wheat Fields," is truly breathtaking.

In addition, Shen Yutong's perfect performance is definitely a plus, and there's no doubt that she deserves to advance.

There were no gimmicks or off-field maneuvers in this match; it was purely a musical exchange, and everyone made choices based on their own hearts.

Soon, Shen Yutong's votes took a significant lead. Although everyone felt sorry for the other local singer, that's how competitions are. After watching "Top Idol" for so long, everyone got used to it.

Overnight, the vote difference widened again, and just as the competition was about to come to a conclusion without any controversy, an unexpected change occurred.

The next day, a student studying in Japan posted a video. It consisted of only a screenshot and AI voiceover, but this video, which had no technical merit whatsoever, became the butterfly wings that set off a hurricane.

"Things are getting better. I never thought I'd still be able to hear Yu Wei's songs while I'm abroad."

["The Flower That Is Loved and the Flower That Is Not Loved" - Yu Wei, ranked seventh on the new song chart.]
This song title... sounds familiar.

While some people were still wondering why Yu Wei released the song behind everyone's back, some netizens suddenly realized that this was the Japanese version of "So You're Here Too".

It's at number seven on the new song chart, it's actually that popular?

Keep in mind that this song was only released last night. For a work by a "foreign singer" to climb to number seven is already incredibly fast.

Although it's just a new song chart, this is already a peak that no Chinese singer has ever reached. Yu Wei, that kid, is quietly doing great things.

The most outrageous thing is that this song was almost eliminated in the novel competition...

Seeing the vote difference that had become as wide as a chasm, many netizens couldn't help but have a thought.

Is it because people don't know its value?

Or has Sakura never had anything good to eat? (End of Chapter)
