Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

boom--!

This statement was like a bomb, exploding simultaneously in the studio and all the live broadcast rooms.

"He can no longer tailor-make the most suitable songs for each singer as he used to. So he could only come up with a high-quality song that didn't quite match the singer to complete this collaboration."

Zhou Ke's tone was full of regret and a hint of barely perceptible arrogance: "A song that is extremely repressed and needs to be interpreted with the most authentic voice was paired with a voice that has its own reverberation. This is undoubtedly the biggest failure of this performance and a mistake by Teacher Luo Mu."

He looked at Feng Yuxi and made his final conclusion: "The song is good, but you are not the most suitable person to sing it. Therefore, I cannot pass you."

Feng Yuxi's face darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly.

He can accept people saying he doesn't sing well, but he can't accept people questioning Teacher Ling, who gave him the opportunity, because of him.

Just as he was about to speak, a furious curse came from a corner of the audience:

"You don't know anything!"

Gu Yang suddenly stood up from his seat.

His movements were so large that the chair was hit with a loud bang.

shhhhh--

In an instant, everyone's gaze, including the cameras on the stage, turned to this corner.

The director reacted very quickly, immediately giving it a close-up shot.

When Gu Yang's face, now maskless and radiating anger, appeared on the big screen, the entire audience gasped.

"So...so Yang?!"

"My God! It's Gu Yang! What's he doing here!"

"Holy crap! A once-in-a-lifetime reunion! Gu Yang was there during the final song!"

The host was also stunned; he had never expected such an unexpected situation.

Zhou Ke frowned, clearly annoyed that his commentary had been interrupted: "Excuse me... audience member, please sit down. It's time for the mentors' comments."

"Comments?" Gu Yang sneered, his voice not loud, but it carried clearly throughout the room through the microphone that the person next to him hadn't turned off. "You call that a comment?"

He took a step forward and looked directly at Zhou Ke on the mentor's seat.

"Music is meant to convey emotions. If we only pursue so-called 'fitness,' how can music develop?!"

Gu Yang's voice, like a sharp blade tempered in fire, instantly shattered the subtle and eerie atmosphere in the studio.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The chat in the live stream went crazy.

[Holy crap!!! What is Gu Yang doing?! He's going head-to-head with the judges?!]

[Ahhhhh, he's so handsome! Yangyang's right! He doesn't know anything!]

[Are you crazy?! This is a live broadcast! Doesn't he care about his career? Is it worth it for Feng Yuxi?]

[What does the person upstairs know! He's not doing this for Feng Yuxi, he's protecting Teacher Luo Mu!]

[Gu Yang is now a fiercely protective husband! Anyone who dares to say a bad word about Luo Mu will be the first to explode!]

Zhou Ke's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

He has been in the industry for many years and holds a prestigious position. Wherever he goes, he is fawned over. Never before has a junior dared to point his finger at him and scold him like this in front of a national audience!

"You!" He pointed at Gu Yang, his hand trembling with anger. "Who are you? A pretty-boy idol who relies on his looks, what right do you have to comment on music here?!"

"I'm not qualified?" Gu Yangqi laughed. "My qualification is that I understand this song better than you."

He took another step forward, fully exposed to the light, his gaze fixed intently on Zhou Ke.

"You said Feng Yuxi's voice is electronic and doesn't suit this song. Let me tell you, that's precisely what makes this song so wonderful!"

"The loess soil has been transformed into asphalt roads, the old wooden doors have been replaced by security doors, and the little yellow dog at the village entrance is gone. Everything in the song represents a past that can never be returned to. And Feng Yuxi's voice represents the cold, helpless 'present'!"

"Using a modern, even slightly detached voice, to sing about the most genuine longing—this stark contrast and sense of separation is what truly brings to life the sorrow of things changing and things never returning!"

Gu Yang's voice grew louder and louder, resounding with conviction.

"You only heard the so-called 'mismatch,' but you couldn't hear the ingenuity of the creator and the emotions the singer poured into it! You didn't understand the song at all!"

"You..." Zhou Ke was speechless, his face turning red.

He wanted to refute it, but found that he couldn't find any strong arguments at the moment.

Because what Gu Yang said seems to make a lot of sense.

He had indeed felt that contrast just now, but subconsciously categorized it as "incongruity".

"That's just sophistry!" Zhou Ke could only shout, his voice trembling with fear.

"Soliciting nonsense?" Gu Yang scoffed. "I think the one who's truly lost their touch, their thinking is rigid, and they can't understand new things is you, aren't they?"

"Insolence!" Zhou Ke slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

The host broke out in a cold sweat and quickly rushed over to smooth things over: "Oh dear, Mr. Gu Yang, Mr. Zhou Ke, let's talk this out. Understanding music is subjective, everyone has their own perspective..."

"There's no point in judging it personally." Xia Meng, a mentor who owns a Teddy dog, stood up and snorted coldly.

What she dislikes most is people like Zhou Ke, who usually enjoys the benefits of being a popular celebrity while relentlessly criticizing others, and immediately exaggerates any minor issues.

She picked up the microphone, facing Zhou Ke with a gentle smile, but her eyes showed no sign of backing down.

"Professor Zhou Ke, you are a senior figure in the field. I read many of your music theory analyses when I was young and benefited greatly from them."

She first praised and then criticized, changing the subject abruptly.

"However, the 'suitability' you just mentioned is the most basic standard by which industrialized assembly line engineering measures a singer. According to this standard, sweet songs need to be performed by sweet girls, and rock songs need to be performed by rugged guys. This can save costs and reduce the trial and error rate, which is not wrong."

Xia Meng's voice was calm and unhurried, yet it clearly resonated throughout the entire venue.

"However, this does not mean that this is the only correct option. Now that we have a good song, we don't need to consider the cost or the trial and error rate, so why can't we integrate, collide, and break the rules?"

Why can't electronic music blend with folk music? Why can't modern sounds express nostalgia?

She looked at Feng Yuxi on the stage, whose palms were sweating with nervousness.

"I actually think that Teacher Luo's choice was a stroke of genius."

"The theme of this song is 'loss' and 'no going back'. If you find a singer with a similarly rustic and weathered voice to sing it, it will only express 'nostalgia'."

"But Feng Yuxi's voice, that clean, slightly electronic-textured detachment, itself represents the 'present'. A 'present' that has already been integrated into the cold city, looking back at that warm past that can never be returned to."

"This sense of emotional disconnect, expressed through sound and core emotion, is the true soul of this song!"

"It's not just a simple 'nostalgia,' but the ultimate sorrow of 'things have changed and people are no longer the same.' Professor Zhou Ke, you only saw the form, but you didn't understand its spirit."

After he finished speaking, the entire room was silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous applause.

"Well said!"

"Teacher Xia Meng is awesome!"

"This is what professional commentary looks like!"

Yang couldn't resist going up to ask for their contact information.

"Exactly! Teacher Xia Meng is awesome!"

Teacher Xia Meng really hit the nail on the head.

Ling Luo smacked his lips, pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and said that he really had just been heartbroken for a long time because of Gu Yang... And, does Feng Yuxi happen to have the time and opportunity to sing this song recently?

This was also the only time he didn't consider the timbre of Feng Yuxi and Zhang Minghui.

But seeing Gu Yang standing beside him, who was in a foul mood, he could only soothe him by saying, "Don't be angry. I'll release a song to slap him in the face when I get back."

"Really?" Gu Yang said fiercely, "Then you have to sing it for me, I'll curse him to death."

"Okay, here you go."
