Lancheng, in a certain community.

Li Kun was half-lying on the sofa, with his wife and daughter next to him. The family was watching the program "Singer".

"Ah~ so cool!"

Taking a sip of cold beer, Li Kun let out a comfortable moan.

He was a little regretful two days before he was eliminated from "Singer", but later he found out how good it was.

Li Kun complained in his heart, since he participated in that perverted show, he has never enjoyed it so much!

Although I was singing alone, the whole team was following along.

Since joining the show, every day of singing, arranging, rehearsing, and competing on stage has been like clockwork. Li Kun seems to have regained the feeling of participating in the talent show before his debut.

The biggest difference is that those who compete on the same stage in "Singer" are all perverts.

——For example, Ye Zhiqiu.

When he learned that Ye Zhiqiu was going to sing rock music, Li Kun suddenly became interested.

On the screen, Ye Zhiqiu walked onto the stage amidst the cheers of the audience, and his daughter, who was in the third grade of junior high school, also screamed.

"Ye Zhiqiu is so handsome!"

Immediately, her daughter became dissatisfied and said to Li Kun: "Dad, you lied to me. I clearly reminded you to help get Ye Zhiqiu's autograph."

Li Kun blushed and said quickly: "Didn't I forget it?"

"Don't worry, your dad and Ye Zhiqiu are buddies, we can get as many signatures as you want!"

"I want the signed physical album of "Chinese Style"!"

Li Kun was stunned, "That guy released a physical record again?"

In the era of digital media, from a business perspective, physical records with high costs and high prices are really not as profitable as digital albums.

Recording, sending the master tape to the factory for copying, mass production, and transportation to all parts of the country. If you have this time, you might as well spend more money and effort on multiple advertising spaces.

But the sales of physical records are of great significance to a singer.

For example, Zhang Yifan, despite his huge number of fans, has sold over a million digital albums, but releasing physical records will definitely be a hit.

First of all, the target user group is wrong. Zhang Yifan's music style is a singing and dancing type, which emphasizes stage performance rather than the quality and connotation of the songs. The average age of fans who like this type is relatively young and they do not have the habit of buying physical records.

Therefore, even though Zhang Yifan's new album has achieved the status of "Diamond Record", in the eyes of traditional rock musicians like Li Kun, they are still a little dismissive and do not regard her as a real singer.

However, traffic stars like Zhang Yifan are still doing well. It can only be said that reality is too cruel, and it is too common for bad money to drive out good money.

However, Li Kun admires Ye Zhiqiu from the bottom of his heart. This guy is the best seller of physical records in recent years.

"Not yet." When Li Kun's thoughts were lost, his daughter beside him said, "But it will definitely come out, so make a reservation first."

"Dad, you can't lie to me again."

"Okay, okay." Li Kun took another sip of beer and agreed, looking at the picture on the screen.

Ye Zhiqiu is wearing a black T-shirt, dark gray ripped jeans, and holding a guitar today. The overall look looks... handsome and youthful.

Li Kun shook his head. This brother's style is not good. If he has no clothes, he can borrow two leather jackets from him. He can't be cool when he sings rock music.

...

Ye Zhiqiu stood in the center of the stage, behind him were the entire orchestra members who were performing with him.

The picture on the big screen behind the stage now turned into darkness like a dark night, with twinkling stars hanging in the night sky.

Everyone understood that this stage design echoed the title of the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

It's just that... the artistic style on stage was a bit different from the rock style that everyone expected.

The performance started with a piano prelude to the song.

Against the background of the stage, which is like stars in the dark night, the long piano sound also seems particularly empty, blooming with sporadic light in the deep and vast night sky.

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu, who was in the center of the stage, strummed the guitar strings in his hand.

The sound of guitar strings gradually calmed down the audience who were expecting an explosive performance, and at the same time, an idea flashed in their minds.

——This seems to be a different rock song.

And Ye Zhiqiu's singing at this time also confirmed everyone's suspicions.

【The brightest star in the night sky

Can you hear clearly?

The one who looks up

Loneliness and sigh in my heart]

As soon as the first lyrics came out, Li Kun at home sat upright on the sofa.

This is... britpop? Very few people play this style.

In the eyes of the public, rock music may often be associated with words such as "angry" and "screaming", but in fact, the connotation of rock music is much more than that.

Rock and roll is the most real emotion, a form of music that expresses the singer's true inner voice. This voice can be criticism, or of course it can be something else.

And what Ye Zhiqiu sang seems to be a rock song that expresses emotions other than "anger".

Li Kun suddenly became interested and looked at the screen intently.

On the stage, Ye Zhiqiu's voice was still low.

【oh the brightest star in the night sky

can you remember

once walked with me

The figure disappearing in the wind]

At this point, I originally thought it was a metal rock song with an explosive style. The audience, who seemed a little uncomfortable at first, was gradually attracted by the lyrics.

Entering the chorus, Ye Zhiqiu strummed the guitar intensively, and his voice changed from a low chant to a clear one.

【I pray to have a transparent heart

and eyes that shed tears

Give me the courage to believe again

Oh, go beyond the lies to embrace you

Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence

Whenever I'm lost in the dark

Oh~ the brightest star in the night sky

Please guide me to get closer to you]

The moment the chorus sung with a unique singing voice came out, many in the audience had goosebumps.

It sounds great! This was the first thought of many viewers. Only then did everyone realize that rock music can still be sung like this.

...

Huaicheng, in a room somewhere.

Peng Fei was sitting in front of his desk, which was stacked nearly half a meter high with review materials, such as "Sea of ​​Questions", "Three Years of Simulation of the Five-Year College Entrance Examination", "Ten Sets of In-depth Questions" and so on...

There is also a page-turning calendar with "273 days left until the college entrance examination" written in red pen.

The college entrance examination results have come out. Peng Fei did not do well in the exam and is preparing to repeat the exam.

At this time, Peng Fei put down the pen in his hand, and the program "Singer" was playing on the mobile phone he was holding.

As a repeat student, I see my former classmates excitedly looking forward to college life, but I am immersed in various test papers day after day. The boredom, pressure and boredom in my heart are indescribable.

Peng Fei's only entertainment is to watch variety shows once a week to relax a little.

At this time, when he heard the lyrics "Whenever I am lost in the dark night, the brightest star in the night sky, please guide me close to you" sung by Ye Zhiqiu, Peng Fei felt that something was touched in his heart.

In my mind, the brightest star in the night sky is the moment I look forward to when I get my name on the gold medal list.

Everything he is doing now is moving towards this goal, and this lyric inexplicably gives him strength.

Peng Fei took a deep breath and patted his face hard.
Chapter completed!
