Rock and Roll: Glorious Years

After bowing to express his gratitude, Bian Lang was still caught up in the song and unwilling to let go of his emotions.

Niu Boyi, displaying his high emotional intelligence, ignored the audience's excitement and stood up, turning to the fans behind him and gesturing for them to calm down, saying, "Everyone, please calm down. Let's hear what Teacher Liu Yao has to say about Bian Lang."

Liu Yao, who had been standing the whole time, gave Bian Lang a thumbs up: "Awesome! Bian Lang, come down here and let's talk. I want to cover this song and release an EP!"

These words, instead of calming the audience down, were like pouring a spoonful of cold water into a hot oil pan, causing it to explode!

"A cover of an EP? Yao-jie is just faking it, isn't she? She almost never covers other people's songs, and she doesn't even praise someone that much, does she?"

"Who is Yao-jie anyway? Does she need to dress up like this? But releasing an EP of covers is really going too far!"

"I support Yao Jie, I think this song suits her perfectly."

Among them are many people who are not rock music fans but like Liu Yao.

Those fans of Xia Yuxi and the young heartthrob felt a pang of jealousy upon hearing this.

"What's so good about this song? The lyrics are so aggressive, it's not pleasant to listen to at all, and the singing technique is terrible. Anyone can sing it as long as they have a loud voice. It's not nearly as difficult as our Yu Xi's song."

The fan who said this was sitting close to the mentors' seats, and because his voice was quite loud, Niu Boyi heard every single word.

With the goal of creating a entertaining program, he posed the question to Pan Jianhu: "Professor Pan, as a professional, what's your opinion on what this audience member just said?"

As one of the top rock music producers in China today, Pan Jianhu felt it was necessary to use this program to share some basic common sense with music fans.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "What this music fan said is actually quite right. If this song is in its original key without any adjustments, the four sets of high notes in chest voice throughout the song do indeed place a high demand on vocal function. Just how high exactly?"

It's about the falsetto note Xia Yuxi sang at the beginning; you can try singing it with your natural voice! But to say this song doesn't require technique is a huge mistake. The vocal breaks in this song are almost entirely at A4; without lowering the key, even among professional male singers, I believe it would be very difficult to sing it without professional training.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuxi, backstage, feigned an expression of utter understanding and admiration. But inwardly, she cursed Pan Jianhu: "Tiger, there are so many singers, there's no need to use me as a comparison! And what's going on here? They just put out a song and a mentor wants to cover it?"

Niu Boyi tried it himself according to Pan Jianhu's instructions, then chuckled, holding his back, "I don't have that ability."

Lin Yaorong added at the opportune moment: "I really envy Bian Lang for having such a good voice. When he stands on the stage, he can leave you speechless as soon as he opens his mouth."

Many audience members naturally didn't understand what was going on, but since the two big shots had said so, no one else could raise any further questions.

Once Niu Bo saw that the audience had completely calmed down, and Bian Lang seemed to have come to his senses as well, he began to ask him, "Bian Lang, why did you decide to showcase this new song on this show?"

Bian Lang had already detached himself from his emotions. He tossed his electric guitar behind him, picked up the microphone, and sincerely said, "I hope this song can be heard by fans on Aquamarine Star soon."

Niu Boyi thought Bian Lang was praising the show, and as one of the main creators, he naturally had to return the favor: "I think with my knowledge, I can't give a professional review of your song, but I want to give a non-professional listener's evaluation, which is..." Just as he was about to raise the scoreboard with 5 written on it, Pan Jianhu stood up and interrupted him directly.

"I think it's a bit unfair to the other contestants to use a scoring system to evaluate Bian Lang's song. I suggest we just give him an S-level captain card!" After saying that, he looked at the other contestants one by one.

After receiving nods of approval from everyone, and with Niu Bo exclaiming in shock, Pan Jianhu personally took the S card and handed it to Bian Lang on stage.

"Then let's congratulate Bian Lang on becoming an S-class captain." Pan Jianhu's evaluation was too high. Niu Boyi was afraid that something might happen, so he wanted to finish quickly and let the next contestant come up.

At this point, some audience members disagreed.

"Why? Our Yu Xi got 23 points and an S grade, so why doesn't he even need to get a score?"

"Shut up, that's just to save face for your idol. Tiger means that even a perfect score wouldn't be enough for this song, so don't upset your idol."

"Indeed, Bian Lang's voice alone is worth 25 points, and when paired with this song, it's simply unethical."

The people in the rest area understood perfectly. Old Zhao bluntly said, "They gave me a 23. The maximum score for Bian Lang's song is 25, so it's really inappropriate. Tiger is being lenient with us."

"Who says otherwise? Compared to Bian Lang, my 21 is like the difference between a passing grade and a perfect score. Bian Lang is awesome! This song, I, Kai Zi, am convinced!"

After Huang Kai finished speaking, the others echoed "Awesome!" They saw the audience's reaction, and while they felt envy, jealousy, and resentment, they also felt genuine respect.

It feels like Bian Lang really brought honor to rock musicians on stage this time, and all the musicians who came with him were also proud.

The group led by Xia Yuxi only seemed to be exclaiming in surprise!

Xia Yuxi was extremely annoyed, feeling that his S-level captain position was no longer appealing at all. He was there to bring viewership to the show and thought he would be the focus of the episode, but Bian Lang stole all the limelight.

Xia Yuxi clenched her right fist, and the thought of seriously competing for victory arose in her mind!

When Bian Lang returned to the lounge, many people stood up and applauded to welcome him.

After we sat down, musicians kept coming over to chat. Some were straightforward, while others were as shy as flower buds. In any case, they all meant the same thing: they wanted to be on Bian Lang's team when they were choosing members.

As they chatted, the two guys' performance ended, and all seven captain positions were filled. The three S-level captains are well-known, and the four A-level captains are Huang Kai, Lunzi, the keyboardist, and a female lead singer.

However, a problem arose here. During the break in the rest area, the host interviewed the musicians and found that more than half of them expressed a strong desire to collaborate with Bian Lang, which was completely unexpected by the production team.

Fearing something might go wrong, the production team decided to abandon the original plan to form teams on-site and instead have all 31 contestants come on stage to thank the audience. The team formation would be recorded without an audience, so that if any problems arose, they could be re-recorded without worrying about the audience spoiling the plot in advance.

To appease the dissatisfied audience, after recording was stopped, Niu Bo asked the musicians to sign autographs for the fans present as compensation.

Xia Yuxi walked towards the audience seats and saw that nearly half of the audience was calling his name. Only then did the frustration in his heart ease a little.

But at that moment, he saw Bian Lang take a poster from a little girl in the front row and sign it. The little girl was wearing his Xia Yuxi support outfit.
