Chapter 78: This is true madness for love.
"Huh? This song?"

"Not original?"

"Haha, Shen Qingqian has run out of ideas and can't come up with any original songs."

“I told you long ago, no one can maintain a peak creative state continuously, and he will eventually stop writing new songs.”

"Hilarious! I thought Shen Qing would pull out a killer song for the finals, but she just 'Crazy for Love.' She really ran out of inspiration..."

"Li Yuchun is definitely going to win the championship."

"..."

Faced with the ridicule and sarcasm from other fans, the fans were powerless to refute.

all the time.

Zhang Liangying's works are all original and captivating.

Now that it's suddenly not original, they're finding it a little hard to adjust.

The fans in the studio kept calling out Liangying's name and cheering for her, but everyone was very nervous.

The same goes for Li Lei.

He thought Liangying would start with a killer song, so he flipped the table.

but……

The current situation caught him off guard.

Seeing his wife and sister laughing heartily made him feel uneasy, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Just wait and see, Liangying's singing skills are definitely up to par, no worse than Liu Ruoyin's!"

Younger sister: "Are you kidding me? That's Liu Ruoyin!"

Daughter-in-law: "Exactly!"

……

Chengdu.

Bistro.

Zhao Lei, an 18-year-old who fled Beijing, ended up in Chengdu.

Tonight is the finale of "Super Girl," and he's having barbecue and drinking beer with some newly acquainted colleagues.

Upon seeing Zhang Liangying appear on TV, Lei Zi immediately put down his lamb skewers—to show his respect for the goddess!
"Lei Zi, your goddess has arrived."

"Why are they singing Liu Ruoyin's 'Crazy for Love'? Didn't Shen Caizi write a song for him?"

“This song is not easy to sing. If you can’t capture Liu Ruoyin’s essence, it might cause her to lose a lot of popularity.”

"Choosing this song was too risky; it wasn't a good choice."

"However, her dress tonight is so beautiful, so gorgeous."

"..."

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Choosing a song with such a strong personal style is indeed too risky. I don't think Shen Qing would make such a mistake unless it was his idea."

Another young man said, "I think so too! Shen Qing has always been a good song picker... This song was probably chosen by Zhang Liangying herself. I feel like she wanted to use this song to confess her feelings to Shen Qing?"

Zhao Lei laughed and said, "That's possible! Everyone already knows that my goddess admires Shen Qing, so it's normal for her to confess on the final stage."

After saying that, everyone at the table downed a drink.

We eagerly await Jane Zhang's performance.

……

A group of judges and directors in the audience, including Hei Nan, He Jiong, Chang Kuan, and Xia Qing, were also discussing among themselves.

As musicians, they know that "Crazy for Love" is very popular, but also very difficult to sing.

Hei Nan: "From a technical point of view, Zhang Liangying should have no problem. The main thing is that feeling. I don't know if she can find it."

Chang Kuan: "Ke Yimin should be able to sing it."

Ke Yimin: "Oh well, never mind. I'm fine with the technique, but I really can't figure out the feeling of unrequited love."

He Jiong: "I feel that her choice of this song was not a wise one. I will compare her with Liu Ruoyin."

……

at the same time.

The accompaniment music started playing.

But many people were taken aback because this was not the intro to "Crazy for Love" that they were familiar with. Why did it have a rock and roll feel to it?
"adaptation?"

"Yes, it's an adaptation! I knew Shen Qing still had inspiration; there's no way he couldn't write a new song."

"Adapting is just as difficult as creating an original; after all, it's too hard to surpass Liu Ruoyin's version."

"Since Shen Qing has asked Liangying to sing this song, he must be confident!"

"Corn and Pen, speak up!!!"

"Let me show you what the ceiling of the adaptation industry is."

"..."

Zhao Lei was extremely excited in the tavern.

He clapped enthusiastically, hoping that Zhang Liangying would bring everyone an auditory feast.

……

in the audience.

Ke Yimin leaned in and asked Hei Nan, "Do you think the adaptation will be successful?"

Hei Nan thought for a moment and nodded, "He changed the ballad style to rock, it should be a different experience!"

at this time.

Zhang Liangying raised the microphone, her fair face full of resentment and helplessness, having fully entered the singing state.

"I come from spring."

You said you wanted to break up in the fall.

I promised I wouldn't be sad for you.

"..."

The first few lines are sung in a similar style to Milk Tea.

Zhang Liangying's deep bass is quite mellow and textured, and those who like her voice will find it very captivating and enjoyable.

The feeling was like a beautiful woman whispering softly in your ear on a drizzly morning.

Let alone men, even women can't stand it.

Itchy and numb.

That's not all!

Shen Qing had Zhang Liangying add some edge tone techniques, and a sense of elusiveness, as if she were about to drift away.

But that's not enough~
Far from enough!

These few lines didn't surpass the original singer's level; they just gave people a novel feeling.

To truly compare the strengths and weaknesses of this song, you must wait until the chorus.

Only the chorus~
Only then can you truly appreciate the charm contained in "Crazy for Love".

Why is it always like this?

You are deeply hidden in my heart.

I want to ask you...

Do you want to or not?

"Stay with me until the end of time"

If love is this sorrowful

"..."

At this point in the song, Liangying's voice rose a notch, adding several clever transitions, and the rhythm also became faster than before.

It was quite obvious that his emotions had escalated, like the eve of a storm when he finally found an outlet for his feelings.

In this part of her performance, Liu Ruoyin evokes the image of someone holding a glass of red wine, standing by a window, slowly reminiscing about the past. Her emotions are calm and understated, conveying a sense of someone who has been through it all.

Even in the chorus, Liu Ruoyin gives people this subtle sense of narration, as if they have been separated for a long time.

No wonder her mentor, Mr. Chen, had her record for three years on and off. Perhaps Liu Ruoyin lacked the kind of tearing emotions he wanted, the kind that comes from a recent breakup or a struggle between two people.

It's worth noting that Chen Sheng's singing is incredibly infectious. For example, his song "Leave the Sadness to Myself" is so emotionally charged that it instantly draws listeners into the mood the song is trying to convey.

As for Chen Sheng, he would probably prefer Zhang Liangying's version.

Some people might say: I just love Liu Ruoyin's singing!
Actually, what they liked most was Liu Ruoyin's voice. Liu Ruoyin's timbre is quite unique; it's a very textured mezzo-soprano.

I've asked you day and night, but you never answer.

How did you become like this?

"..."

When she sang the two lines before the chorus, Zhang Liangying could hardly contain her emotions. She stared in Shen Qing's direction with a burning gaze and genuine feelings.

As listeners, everyone could feel Liangying's emotions.

It's not just from her expressions and movements.

Even with her eyes closed, you could hear the inner universe that Liangying was about to unleash.

"I want to hear the next line!!"

"Here it comes, here it comes, the climax is here, success or failure hinges on this line."

"Oh my god, I'm so nervous."

"Look at Liangying, she looks like she's about to cry."

"Is this what genius is? She uses her emotions too much."

"I just realized that Liu Ruoyin's emotions were too calm when she sang this part. It didn't sound like the song title says 'madly in love' at all. It was Liangying who was truly infatuated!"

"..."

The four-second pause, far from being abrupt, actually heightened everyone's anticipation.

Fans, hosts, contestants, judges, directors, and even Wang Peng, the CEO of Tianyu Media, standing at the control room window, all eagerly awaited the upcoming explosion.

Wang Peng: Damn it, I shouldn't have gotten so excited!

Liu Ruoyin paused for only two seconds here before starting the chorus.

If her emotional release value in the verse is 3, then it's probably only 6 in the chorus.

But Zhang Liangying did indeed rise from 4 to 8.

In an instant, the audience was engaged.

This is the advantage of adapting a ballad into rock music; rock music emphasizes the release of emotions.

"I want to ask you if you dare~"

"Love me like you said you would."

Angry roar!

Tearful sound!
C5 strong mix, with an impromptu key shift in the outro, a fiery shout... perfectly showcasing the courage to go all in for love!

That one sentence was enough to send chills down your spine. If there were a mechanism to turn around, the judges would have all turned around by now.

The fans were utterly shocked.

Then a huge surprise welled up inside me.

Just a moment ago they were worried that the adaptation wouldn't be successful, but now, that anxiety has completely disappeared.

What is meant by a benchmark for adaptation?
This is the standard answer!
Almost all the viewers in front of the screen, including Liangfen, Biqin, and Yumi, had the same expression: amazement!

"How can such a small body of hers unleash such powerful strength?"

"Oh my god, did Shen Qing dump Liang Ying? Otherwise, why would he be so heartbroken..."

"Nonsense, Shen Qing is right here in the audience."

"Brothers, don't forget to vote! Make sure Liangying wins the championship."

"I'll definitely vote for your best photo!"

"..."

At this moment.

Li Lei was finally able to speak loudly, and he excitedly ran around the living room.

Zhang Liangying's current performance is enough to crush Zhou Bichang and Li Yuchun, causing her wife and sister to look on with anger: What are you showing off for?!
"Of course I'm showing off!"

"Once Liangying finishes singing, her vote count will definitely skyrocket. I need to have Xiao Wang keep an eye on the data!!"

Li Lei said excitedly.

……

"I want to ask you if you dare!"

"As crazy in love as I am!"

"I want to ask you if you dare..."

"Love me like you said you would."

"..."

The final, pronounced "love me" went completely wild for the fans.

At this point, they could be completely certain that Zhang Liangying's version was in no way inferior to Liu Ruoyin's.

For some people, they already believe that Jane Zhang's singing surpasses that of Rene Liu.

Zhao Lei is one of them.

He, who plays rock music, has become a complete fan of Jane Zhang!
No, that's not right!

Zhao Lei has become a complete fan of Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying.

"I wish I could write a song like this! Shen Qing is amazing!"

"I really want to find Shen Qing and become his apprentice!!!"

"..."

Zhao Lei thought excitedly.

I thought Zhang Liangying's emotions had reached their peak, but during her subsequent performance, her emotions escalated once again.

This is the advantage of high-pitched singers!
It can elicit emotions that mid-to-low-range singers cannot achieve by pulling out high notes one by one.

"powerful!"

"too strong."

"If Liangying isn't the champion, I'll eat shit while doing a handstand."

"Xiao Wang, has Liangying's vote count increased?"

"Haha, a surge?"

"Okay, okay, Xiao Wang, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to KFC tomorrow..."

……

on the stage.

After Zhang Liangying finished singing the last line, tears blurred her vision. She covered her eyes and tried her best to calm herself down.

Li Xiang quickly handed her a tissue.

At this moment, the entire venue was silent.

He Jiong murmured, "Is the genius on the Super Girl stage just the threshold to her? This gap is despair-inducing. Will Li Yuchun still be the champion? Will Wang Peng still forcefully interfere?"

Think of this.

He Jiong turned around and looked in the direction of the broadcasting studio.

Wang Peng was there...
