I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Qin Yunshang has a powerful background and is capable. If she is still not as good as Lu Chujiu, it can only mean that Chen Liang is much worse than Guo Xiaoran.

That implicitly proves that among these people, Guo Xiaoran has the strongest skills in lyrics and music.

Jia Yi's fan base has always disliked Chen Liang.

So, before Qin Yunshang even took the stage, countless comments began to attack her, insulting and cursing Chen Liang.

Not only that, but some comments tried to sow discord between Qin Yunshang and Chen Liang, saying, "Being in the same group doesn't mean sharing the same fate. Chen Liang's shortcomings don't affect Yunshang's strength."

There were also people who brought up Jin Lan to try and pick a fight with Chen Liang, saying, "Chen Liang, that kind of country bumpkin, is best suited to Jin Lan's country flower singing skills. Even if you gave him a Yunshang'er (a type of traditional Chinese dress) song, he wouldn't be able to use it well."

In short, the live stream was a chaotic mess.

In the studio, Qin Yun Chu felt very angry looking at these comments.

However, there were too many of these disruptive comments, and she couldn't interfere, much less let the online trolls speak up for Chen Liang.

She hadn't listened to Chen Liang's new song, and now she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Is Chen Ya still writing those quirky songs?

If Qin Yunshang happens to run into Ren Jinqing's sensitive spots and gets a sharp tongue from him, neither of the two mentors will dare to give her a high score.

That would anger Qin Yunshang's fans, making them think that the song you wrote for our Yunshang is bad, and they might retaliate by voting against it, which could cost us the first place.

Although winning first place in this round wouldn't matter to Chen Ya, Qin Yun Chu still didn't want him to lose.

After all, he's a top-tier talent, and Qin Yun Chu admires him so much. If he really loses, she'll be somewhat disappointed.

……

On stage, Chen Ya turned to Qin Yunshang and asked, "Are you confident?"

Qin Yunshang pouted and said, "Of course I have it, unless you lack confidence in yourself."

Chen Ya smiled. At that moment, the host was calling for Qin Yunshang to come up on stage.

Qin Yunshang picked up her guitar and went upstairs.

The host exclaimed in surprise, "Is Yunshang'er going to sing and play the guitar again? Is it going to be another folk song like last time?"

Qin Yunshang sat down on the stool and said, "That's right."

When she said she was singing folk songs again, many people in the live stream frowned.

Chapter 442 I remember

There's a reason why Qin Yunshang sings folk songs.

In the previous round, she sang a folk song. After the competition, some professionals analyzed that it was because Jia Yi didn't have enough time to compose, so she wrote a folk song.

Singing folk songs allows Qin Yunshang's personal abilities to mask the shortcomings of the lyricist and composer.

After all, folk songs are very simple. As long as your singing skills and performance are good, you can sing them very well.

This time, she sang folk songs again, and many of Yunshang'er's fans were getting restless.

Many extreme Yunshang'er fans started hurling insults in the live chat:

"You're making my Yunshang sing folk songs again? Are these songwriters just lying around because they're guaranteed second place?"

"Look on the bright side, maybe they're not giving up, but preparing to focus their efforts on the next song?"

"Is Yunshang'er only fit to sing folk songs? You know my Yunshang'er's strengths are singing and dancing, yet you insist on making her do something she's not good at—testing her limits?"

"Sisters, give Yunshang'er more confidence. Our Yunshang'er can still win first place singing folk songs. At the same time, don't give these lousy lyricists and composers any leeway. Keep criticizing them!"

"I didn't believe them when they criticized Chen Liang earlier, but now it seems true. Chen Liang can only write some vulgar songs, which are perfect for Jin Lan. But if you give him Yun Shang Er, he won't be able to do it."

……

However, the noise of the comments didn't reach Qin Yunshang's eyes. She hugged her guitar, strummed the strings, and began to sing.

“wuuu——wuwuwu——wu”

Qin Yunshang hummed softly, the guitar strings vibrated, the backstage harmonies joined in and began to work their magic, the lights went out, and a gentle and tolerant atmosphere enveloped the venue.

As her voice rang out, all doubts vanished.

I was carrying luggage that was heavier than my body.

Swimming into the bottom of the Nile

After several flashes of lightning, a cluster of halos was seen.

Not sure if this is the right place...

Her singing and playing seemed to have improved compared to last time.

Her singing voice seemed to create a rich atmosphere, drawing people in effortlessly.

Unlike Jia Yi's song, this song is more subtle in its emotions, but it is also purer.

If Qin Yunshang's performance in the previous song was excellent, then this song is completely devoid of any performance; it's as if she's telling her own story on stage.

"I Remember" is a youthful song included in Zhao Lei's album "Shuqian Street Boy".

It is a song dedicated to mothers.

This song was released just one year ago, and it quickly won one of NetEase Cloud Music's Top Ten Songs of the Year and Top Ten Golden Songs for the 10th Anniversary.

Although it wasn't as widely known and sung as "Chengdu," this song still shines with a brilliance that its era cannot obscure.

Good songs stand the test of time and will become popular again and again years later. This song will be no exception.

Chen Ya originally didn't want to release this song at this time, after all, this was just a talent show with a strict contract, and he couldn't decide the release method himself.

However, Qin Yunshang touched him. Giving her this song didn't make him feel particularly heartbroken.

In addition, she does need a signature song to support her idol career.

A representative work is a song that a singer can immediately name when their name is mentioned. Many young, popular male celebrities lack such a representative work.

Everyone knows about singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball, but no one knows the names of the songs they sing.

That won't work.

A signature piece is like a martial arts skill, essential for navigating the entertainment industry. If you're about to be beaten to a pulp, this skill can turn the tide; if you want to go further, this skill can help you rise to the top.

"I Remember" is a song that can serve as a representative work and support any singer to dominate the music scene for a time.

Qin Yun Chu has helped Chen Ya a lot, so this song is a way of repaying that favor. Today, he will pass on his skills to Qin Yun Shang on the spot, so that she can become a saint on the spot!

"I remember this was a forest."

There is a hillside behind.

The jujube trees on the hillside every autumn

We filled our pockets with dates.

I remember that besides friends, I also

He was your uncle

You always like to follow me around.

Just for those few copper coins…

Meng Xing watched Qin Yunshang's performance and listened to the lyrics, his eyes looking a little confused.

He turned to look at Jia Yi and found that he was also confused.

He was immediately relieved.

Turns out I'm not the only one who can't understand the lyrics!

Not only the two of them, but most of the viewers in the live stream didn't understand what the lyrics were.

"What do these lyrics mean? Why are there mentions of the Nile River and lightning? And how do scissors take away luggage?"

"Shh, don't try to understand, just feel."

……

Guo Xiaoran's expression was somewhat solemn.

This time, when Qin Yunshang went on stage, knowing that Chen Liang was behind the scenes, he was actually relieved.

He had watched the live broadcasts of the first two rounds of the competition, and he knew Chen Liang's capabilities well. Someone who could write lyrics like "Ah Zhen fell in love with Ah Qiang on a starry night" could not possibly surpass him in lyrics.

But as soon as Qin Yunshang opened her mouth, he realized something was wrong.

Laymen watch the spectacle, experts see the details. Chen Liang's song has a very common half-step descending melody. To be honest, it's mediocre. You can tell he could write it too.

But the acting was absolutely amazing!

It feels like you're just randomly building a wall with pebbles, and suddenly, out of nowhere, you've built the Louvre.

Anything simple that is made this powerful is no longer simple.

Moreover, there's clearly something hidden in the lyrics this time, although he doesn't know what it is.

It's neither "Your gentle smile is like plum jam" nor "Ah Zhen fell in love with Ah Qiang." This time, the lyrics are simple and plain, but they contain hidden meanings, concise sentences, and vivid imagery.

Guo Xiaoran is also a songwriter. Others might find the lyrics incomprehensible, but he can tell at a glance that there's something special about them.

He turned his head and looked at Ren Jinqing, who was sitting sideways in the front row.

Aside from listening to Guo Xiaoran's songs, when listening to other people's songs, this old man would close his eyes slightly, cross his legs, and listen attentively while nodding.

But this time was different. When Qin Yunshang sang, his expression was incredibly serious.

Guo Xiaoran felt uneasy.

What does Grandpa Ren's expression mean? Does it mean he particularly dislikes it, or that he cares about it a lot?

I can't tell them apart, I really can't!

"Don't cry, my dearest, my best playmate."

Spacetime is a circle, a straight line, or a bend.

We will meet again eventually.

At a certain corner of the city, as the sun sets.

In a window screen amidst the myriad lights of homes

People gather while suffering from amnesia.

Qin Yunshang's singing voice drew everyone in.

Her voice was clear, with steady high notes, accurate low notes, and soft mid-range notes, as if she were telling a story, and her humming was as natural as breathing.

Even He Su and Yu Xiaoxiao were captivated by the song, swaying their heads along.

Although I didn't understand the lyrics very well, I felt a strong connection to them.

Jin Lan looked at Qin Yunshang on the stage with mixed feelings, feeling that the lights above her head were a bit too bright.

She was a little jealous.

Even she could tell that this song was completely different from the other songs sung by others, and even different from the two songs Chen Liang had written before.

This song is bound to be a hit. It might even top the music charts as soon as it's released on the platform, and become even more popular than "Ah Zhen Fell in Love with Ah Qiang".

So she was jealous of Qin Yunshang, jealous of her voice, jealous of her popularity, jealous of her background, and everything about her.

Why is it that I couldn't sing such a good song even though I collaborated with Chen Liang twice? But she was able to stand on the stage like she was shining.

Jia Yi, standing beside her, was still harboring resentment towards her, believing that she had dragged him down. Heaven knows how much Jin Lan regrets it now.

How come I didn't realize back then that Chen Liang was so strong?

How come we didn't realize back then that it wasn't that he lacked ability, but that he was always accommodating himself?

Yes, Chen Liang used to always say that she was tone-deaf and would scold her at the drop of a hat.

But he still wrote songs for her diligently and helped her find solutions, so much so that after two rounds, no one noticed that she was actually seriously off-key.

Compared to Jia Yi, Chen Liang is simply a gentleman, strong and kind.

Jin Lan is now filled with regret, deep regret.

She felt like a big pig's head. Maybe even worse than a pig's head.
