This star’s style is wrong

"Young and Promising" is a song written, composed, arranged, and sung by Li Ronghao.

The song won the Billboard Radio China Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award in 2018.

There is a very interesting joke about Li Ronghao.

Li Ronghao: You can’t even think of making a penny from me.

Because Li Ronghao produces songs, he will take care of all the work of lyrics, composition, arrangement, singing, instruments, harmony, strings, recording, mixing, mastering post-production, etc.

One person is a team, and there is no need to pay people to work.

The reason for this is that before Li Ronghao officially debuted as a singer, he was a mixer and also wrote songs for others.

Therefore, he can do all the work of making songs.

The lyrics of "Young and Promising" are not very gorgeous, but use simple words to tell a story that is deep in the heart.

This story is heartbreaking, but it is in the past, and only blessings are left.

Therefore, this song does not contain hysterical shouting, but a mature tone of nostalgia for the past after experiencing life.

Fang Xing often sang this song before.

Moreover, the more I sing this song, the more I can understand what is expressed in the lyrics.

Many of the stories written in the lyrics have been experienced by Fang Xing.

TV, smashed wall panels, and a bowl of hot porridge.

Fang Xing has experienced it all, so he feels deeply.

During those days when he was on the verge of despair, Fang Xing didn't even dare to see anyone. He just wanted to lock himself in someone's basement and let loneliness and despair consume him.

As written in the lyrics, Fang Xing smashed the wall panel, but the wall panel was not broken, but his fist was broken.

Because of what I have experienced, even though I know this song is not suitable for competition, I still choose this song.

Singing is inherently a way of expressing emotions.

What Fang Xing wanted was to use this song to express what he wanted to express in his heart.

This is also something that needs to be pursued after vocal skills reach a certain level.

…

The stage lights dimmed and the scene fell silent.

The spotlight shone down, and Fang Xing stood under the light, his head lowered, and there was a deep loneliness in the silence.

Before the prelude even started, the story in the song spread out.

Then, the piano sound of the band came out and the prelude started.

Fang Xing raised the microphone and started singing in a deep and simple voice:

“The TV keeps flashing and the contact information has not been deleted.

"You treated me well, but I ruined it by mistake.

“We also thought about having a place to sleep and eat.

"How can I endure it? I'm working day and night and can't even get the down payment..."

The four lines of the song are not fancy words, but they tell a story about a problem that many young people are facing.

The ever-increasing housing prices are no longer affordable by hard work.

When you meet someone you want to live your whole life with, you want a place that belongs to both of you.

Just working day and night can't make a down payment.

The four seemingly ordinary lyrics are written so realistically that they are a bit cruel.

Fang Xing spent his days living in the basement in this cruel state of mind.

When the first four lines of the main song were sung, the seemingly plain voice seemed to have magic power, revealing this real and desperate state of mind to the audience.

The entire studio hall fell silent, and the audience listened with solemn expressions.

It's as if you can feel the despair and roar hidden behind this plain singing.

As long as the verse can draw the audience into the story told by the song, the song is half successful.

However, Fang Xing did not pay attention to the audience's reaction, but was immersed in the song:

“I smashed the wall panel and it hasn’t been repaired yet.

"A bowl of hot porridge, you were afraid that I wouldn't have enough, so I kept half of it and took it away.

"Describe it to you, your eyes will often be red in the future..."

When the last four lines of the main song are reached, the mood progresses again.

The first four sentences tell the origin of the story, and the last four sentences tell the story's process.

Smashing the wall panels, a simple sentence, expresses how much helplessness and struggle.

A bowl of hot porridge once again wrote about her kindness to me.

Two people who originally loved each other couldn't beat reality after all.

Fang Xing still clearly remembered that she had also looked forward to the future together and described a happy life in the future.

Having a family, working, living, and having a child makes life complete in the hands of two people.

However, reality and time changed everything.

During those two years of living in the basement, all the beautiful things I dreamed of were in vain.

Both people know that the other cares about them, but the more this happens, the less they can face reality.

A single sentence of "I don't need your pity" that your self-esteem has been violated can ruin everything.

At that time, Fang Xing thought it was self-esteem, but later he discovered that it was actually inferiority complex.

Extreme self-esteem is inherently inferior.

After listening to the last four verses of the verse, the audience's chest began to rise and fall. They felt the story told in the song and the heavy struggle in the story.

feeling bad.

This is the first feeling of the audience when they hear this song.

This song is so real that people dare not recall it.

…

In the lounge area of ​​the first singer.

After the singers finished singing, they all sat in the lobby of the rest area. During the intervals between the singers singing, they would discuss a few words from time to time.

However, when Fang Xing sang, no one spoke.

Moreover, the more people who have experienced setbacks, the more they can feel the frighteningly real helplessness and struggle in this song.

When Shen Xiyin heard this, his expression became a little solemn.

She has never experienced this, and her feelings are not that deep, but she knows that the story told in the song is true and has seen similar stories with her own eyes, so she is still touched.

Moreover, when she finished listening to the main verse of this song, she immediately discovered that this song and Liu Hongsheng's "The Past" are completely different styles.

Although this song is very popular because of the theme song of the TV series "Once Upon a Time", the lyrics are actually a bit divorced from reality.

The story told in "Once Upon a Time" is the story of two characters who live in the plot of the novel.

"Young and Promising" is just the opposite. The stories it tells are the stories around you, and even the stories about yourself.

Therefore, there are two songs, one floating in the air, and it sounds like a romantic drama story.

The other one is so real that it’s breathtakingly real.

…

Fang Xing did not cry out the heart-wrenching emotions in his heart, but like a man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life, he hid his emotions and guilt deep in his heart.

Therefore, when it comes to the chorus, the emotional expression is still restrained:

“If I was young and accomplished and I didn’t feel inferior, I would know what preciousness is.

"I feel guilty for not giving you those beautiful dreams.

"If I had been young and wise enough to advance and retreat, I wouldn't have let you suffer on my behalf.

"At the wedding, have a few more drinks with your current partner..."

The chorus sings about the regret and guilt in my heart.

If I had been young and promising at that time, maybe everything would have been different.

It's just that there are no ifs in life.

The hardships and setbacks experienced can never be changed.

In this relationship, there may have been quarrels, complaints, and incomprehension.

But after experiencing more in life, all that remains is "guilt".

Because the good things promised were not fulfilled, there is no hatred in this feeling, only guilt.

Because when you meet the right person at the wrong time, by the time you get to the right time, things have changed.

The past has passed after all, so not to bother is the last concern.

This regret can only stay in the bottom of my heart and become each other's memories.

When we meet again, we can still smile and nod, just like two familiar strangers.

Fang Xing poured all the emotions hidden in his heart into this song.

The voice full of stories sings into the hearts of the audience.

It's so real that people dare not listen to it a second time, but it often sounds and I can't help but listen to it.

By the time of the last chorus, the melody and accompaniment become passionate.

The emotions expressed by Fang Xing once again progressed and once again hit the hearts of the audience.

"If I had done something good when I was young and had not felt inferior, I would have experienced regret.

"Money and status, once you achieve it, you really want to take it back..."

When the last verse of the main song was finished, the accompaniment began to play back, the melody returned to calmness, and the last line was sung:

"At the wedding, have a few more drinks and wish me a promising future."

This sentence.

What I wish for is not that "I" are young and promising now.

But, the "me" that I once was.

This line is also the most regrettable line in the whole song.

If the "me" who once lived in a basement, struggled desperately and was bruised and bruised in the face of life, could be young and promising, I wouldn't have so many regrets.

It's just that there are no ifs in life.

There is no going back.

Finished singing the last line.

Fang Xing lowered his head and stood quietly on the stage, recovering his emotions bit by bit.

The scene was still quiet, and Fang Xing seemed to be able to hear the "me" he once was, facing the desperate life, hiding in a deserted corner, crying silently.

However, Fang Xing did not cry on the stage. Instead, he quietly collected his emotions, put back all the helplessness and struggle that surged from his heart, and sealed it up again.

When the audience saw this scene, many people's eyes began to turn red.

Some viewers even began to quietly wipe the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

A tearful male audience member gritted his teeth and cursed: "This song is so uncomfortable to hear. I really don't want to vote."

"Coming to the show, can't it make me happy?"

The surrounding audience also felt the same way.

“This song is so fucked up!”

"This bitch singer has such achievements at such a young age. He is obviously very promising at a young age. Why would he write such a fucking song!"

Not just the audience.

Other competing singers were also touched by this song.

When Liu Hongsheng just finished singing, his expression was still very excited.

Because he performed very well tonight, even better than during the rehearsal.

Moreover, the arrangement of the whole song was magnificent, and the response from the audience was very enthusiastic.

Therefore, he originally thought that tonight's first place was already a certainty.

However, after listening to Fang Xing's "Young Promising Young Man", his expression became solemn.

In fact, Liu Hongsheng did not become the king from the moment he debuted.

Moreover, at the time when he debuted, technology was not as advanced as it is now.

When he first debuted, he released albums that no one bought, sang in bars, and had bottles thrown at him.

It can be said that he has experienced everything in "Promising Young Man", but in other forms.

Therefore, even though he looked at the song with a colored eye, he was still touched by it.

You can imagine how the audience will react to this song.

Moreover, after these several competitions, Liu Hongsheng felt more and more terrible about Fang Xing.

The melody and lyrics of the song "Young and Promising" are obviously very bland.

There was no grand melody or gorgeous rhetoric, but just such plain words were sung by Fang Xing into the hearts of the audience.

It is not difficult to sing a gorgeous song well, as long as you have good vocal skills, you can do it.

It's very difficult to sing a plain song to the point of being engrossed and sing it into the hearts of the audience.

However, Fang Xing did it, and even his opponents were touched by the singing.

Liu Hongsheng suddenly began to worry about tonight's performance ranking.

He felt that tonight's first place was a little unstable.

The only reason that gave him hope of winning first place made him even more helpless.

Although the song "Young and Promising" sings to the hearts of the audience, it may not win high votes.

Because after listening to this song, the audience will definitely feel uncomfortable and may not be willing to vote.

…

on the stage.

After the music stopped for ten seconds.

He Hao was about to return to the stage and conduct an interactive question with Fang Xing.

However, Fang Xing did not wait for He Hao to come on stage, bowed to the audience and said, "Sorry."

Then, he turned around and walked off the stage, and went to the restroom backstage alone.

He Hao was stunned for a moment, but with rich hosting experience, he immediately put things right: "It seems that this singer is too involved in the drama and needs to be alone.

"Then let us invite the next singer. The next singer is tonight's replacement singer. He is from Chaoshan and has studied Teochew opera.

"Let's invite tonight's replacement singer, Wang Tingwei!"

Behind Fang Xing, there are two singers competing, Wang Tingwei and Xie Yuwen.

It's just that the audience at the scene was brought into the story of "Young and Promising" and couldn't get out at all.

As a result, the songs sung by Wang Tingwei and Xie Yuwen were never able to arouse the audience's emotions.

When Wang Tingwei and Xie Yuwen were singing, they could already feel the audience's low interest.

They had guessed the reason, but there was nothing they could do about it.

No matter how they play, they can't bring the audience back from "Promising Young People".

This also caused the applause at the scene to be sparse after they finished singing.

After all the singers finished singing, the 500 judges on site began to vote.

After the votes are ranked, the program team notifies the singers to go to the final ranking announcement hall.

The eight singers sat in a row again.

Because Liu Hongsheng was the fourth to sing, and Fang Xing was the fifth.

So, the two of them sat on the two chairs in the middle.

To Fang Xing's left was Wang Tingwei, the sixth replacement singer to appear.

Wang Tingwei took the initiative to reach out and say hello: "Hello, I am Wang Tingwei. You sang very well just now."

Fang Xing shook hands with him calmly and said politely, "Hello, I'm Fang Xing, and you sing very well too."

Wang Tingwei was more talkative and continued: "I heard that you have won two championships in a row, and you may win three consecutive championships tonight."

"Don't dare." Fang Xing waved his hands modestly.

Wang Tingwei's words were heard by Liu Hongsheng on the other side, which made his face look even more ugly.

After waiting for a few minutes, Zheng Tao came over with the final result and stood in front of the eight singers.

As expected, Zheng Tao continued his great work of exciting people. After going back and forth several times, he first announced the results of the competition.

This time the singer was unsuccessful, and Shen Xiyin retained her ranking with a slight advantage.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Tingwei's ranking was announced, ranking third.

Then Xie Yuwen ranked fifth and Xu Xinzhen ranked fourth.

After everyone's rankings were announced, the first and second place were left.

The two singers whose rankings have not yet been announced are Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng.

"Director Zheng, you are getting worse and worse. You left the first and second place until the end, again Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng." Although Xie Yuwen's ranking is not high, it is not too dangerous, so he is very relaxed now.

Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng sat next to each other, but neither spoke to each other from beginning to end.

This made the air between the two of them seem to freeze.

Zheng Tao obviously deliberately caused trouble and kept the ranking of the two until the end.

He continued to whet his appetite: "This time, the difference in votes between the first and second place is very small, only two votes.

"The first place received 273 votes and the second place received 271 votes. The difference is very small. It can be said that they are evenly matched."

When everyone heard the vote count, they all took a deep breath.

The difference between the two votes is almost no difference.

In this case, whoever comes first is likely to win.

Liu Hongsheng pulled up his suit and sat upright.

When he heard the vote count, he felt hopeful of winning.

Zheng Tao continued: "Since Fang Xing has won two consecutive championships, if he wins the first place again tonight, "Song" will have the first triple crown.

"So will there be a Triple Crown winner in "Song"? Do you think it will be possible?"

Xie Yuwen said impatiently: "Hurry up, do you know how the barrage scolded you in the first episode of the program?"

Zheng Tao didn't mind at all and said, "If scolding me can increase the ratings, then please let the audience scold me as much as they want."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Hongsheng and asked: "Liu Tianwang, do you think you have a chance to win first place tonight?"

Liu Hongsheng coughed, gestured to Fang Xing next to him, and said politely: "It's hard to say. Fang Xing sang really well tonight. I was touched. But after listening to it, I felt a little uncomfortable."

Zheng Tao kept smiling and said, "It's not just you who feels uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable too."

Then, he looked at Fang Xing and asked, "What about Fang Xing? Do you think you can still take first place tonight?"

Fang Xing forced out a sly smile and replied, "It's hard to say. When I was on stage, I heard the audience say they were too uncomfortable to vote."

Zheng Tao asked: "Have you ever thought that this would be the result?"

"I thought about it."

"Then why did you choose this song?"

"Because this song is what I want to express. As long as I sing it to my satisfaction, nothing else matters." Fang Xing replied.

Zheng Tao nodded and said: "Okay, tonight's ranking is officially announced, he is... Fang Xing!

“Congratulations, the first Triple Crown winner of ‘The Voice’.

“The audience proved one thing with their votes tonight, as long as the singing can move them, they will respond with their votes.

"Thank you for singing "Youth and Promise" tonight, thank you for your sincerity."
