Chapter 18 I am who I am
"New Voice Season" waiting area.
Listening to the director's voice in the headphones, Zhou Ziwu took a deep breath.
Just like when he was on the side of his body, he tried his best to fill every corner of his lungs with fresh air until he could no longer inhale.
"Huh~"
As the exhaust gas was exhaled, there were also his various distracting thoughts.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind - to sing the next song.
Not for anyone, only for yourself.
"Countdown to ten seconds."
In the headphones, Yang Shan's voice sounded again.
On stage.
The singing of Wang Can and Zhang Di ended. They stood on the descending lift platform and waved to the audience of "New Voice Season" for the last time.
"Nine."
"eight."
The dazzling lights in the studio went out one after another.
Auditorium.
Tutor seat.
Main stage.
Chu Qingqiu, wearing a black dress, sat in the darkness and stared directly in front of her.
"three."
The entire studio was completely dark, and the scene with hundreds of people was so quiet that it could be heard.
"two."
"Dongdangdang."
In the darkness, a gentle piano sounded.
"one."
"Bang!"
A beam of chasing light illuminates the figures in the center of the stage.
Zhou Ziwu, Chu Qingqiu's husband.
The identity of the figure appeared in the hearts of the audience.
The piano sound disappeared, and a very short silence appeared again in the audience.
“I am what I a”
"I will always love me like this."
A low male voice rang out.
Zhou Ziwu stood in the light, looking at the depressing "Black Sea" ahead, and for the first time after the official announcement, he made his own voice to the world.
It is singing, it is like confiding, and it is like whispering.
In this way, he responded to all the happenings this week.
This week, he had an extra wife in the name of the law.
During these seven days, he suffered unbearable online violence by ordinary people.
During these 168 hours, he was scolded by more than 100,000 people at the same time.
The only parents who loved him were crying and disappointed because of this incident.
"Dang thump~"
The disappearing piano sound appeared again, still as gentle and sad as hell. But slowly, the piano sound began to move from gentle to high, until the highest point, and ended abruptly.
“Happiness is, there is more than one way to be happy.”
"The most honor is that everyone is the glory of the Creator."
"Don't dodge, live for the life I like."
"Standing in a corner of light without any need for ink."
At this moment, in this dark studio, he was the only one standing in the light.
This song "I" comes from a palace-Leslie Cheung on Earth.
As a star, Leslie Cheung is undoubtedly extremely successful, with film, television and music, and all-round development. Throughout his life, he has no black spots in character or professional level.
He passed away in 2003, but until 2022, the 19th year after his death, there was still a commemorative concert held in Shenzhen specifically for his birthday.
What makes people even more incredible is that his fans are not only middle-aged people, but also younger generations like those born in the 2000s and 2005s who died, they were just children or even unborn.
However, even so, he will still be attacked during his lifetime.
In 1997, Leslie Cheung publicly expressed his love for his childhood friend and friend Mr. Tang at the concert of 97. In that era, this was a taboo love that was regarded as a rebellious one.
The unscrupulous media scolded him so much that the public's disacceptance also put him under tremendous pressure.
He could have chosen to conceal this relationship and make his life easier, but he did not. Instead, he chose to openly, just like the song: I will always love me like this. I will stand in the corner of light without any need for ink.
This song expresses not only his attitude towards this love, but also his attitude towards his own life.
At this moment, off the stage.
In order to record the reactions of the tutors, the lights on the tutor's seat have been quietly turned on.
Chu Qingqiu looked at Zhou Ziwu on the stage, his eyes shining.
She knew that he had recorded a song before, but because of Du Qing, she had never heard the full picture of the song.
Today, it was the first time she had listened to him singing this song in full. Although there were only a few sentences, her ears were directly conquered.
She had to admit that the man who sang on the stage was a bit handsome.
At the same time, a thought in her mind that had been suppressed began to sprout slowly.
The other three mentors beside her wandered between the two with confusion.
In addition to Chu Qingqiu, the "movie star" used to attract traffic, all three of them are old cannons who have been living in the music industry for many years.
The quality of this song is undoubtedly absolutely top-notch. But they have no impression of songs of such quality.
Original, for sure, the question is, who wrote this song?
They didn't get any news from the program team, so they could only guess.
Zhou Ziwu?
But when did he write songs?
However, if it weren't for him, it would be hard to explain.
Because judging from the lyrics, this song is obviously used to respond to the fact that Chu Qingqiu fans scolded him after the two officially announced it a few days ago.
Could it be that Chu Qingqiu paid for someone to write songs to cleanse her husband’s infamy?
Very likely.
However, this has another problem.
Qingmeng has been trying to develop in the music industry for so many years, but their attempts have all failed without exception.
The reason for the failure is not only the inability of their own singers, but the quality of the song is also another important factor.
As for the quality of the songs they collected, in a nutshell, it will be no longer popular for anyone to sing.
From singers to songs, it is absolutely rare to happen in large companies like Qingmeng. Therefore, Qingmeng has the title of "Music Desert" in the industry.
This is the company that can get Zhou Ziwu such a high-quality song to help him turn it over?
This seems even more impossible.
Excluding all the wrong answers, the rest is the one that is closest to the truth.
I'm afraid, this song was really written by Zhou Ziwu himself.
Thinking of this possibility, they were even a little lucky.
If he hadn't eliminated early, but had advanced to today's final night as a player, there seemed to be no suspense to the title.
On stage.
Zhou Ziwu devoted himself to this song, so he did not notice the reaction of the instructor.
He tightened his hands holding the microphone, took a deep breath, and sang the sentence he wanted to sing the most in "Me".
"I am me, a firework of different colors."
"The sky is wide, so you must be the strongest bubble."
You said I was a "toad" and "lost luck", and I don't accept your definition.
Because only I can define me.
I will always love me like this.
