Chapter 9: The Birch Forest
When will the leader sing this song "Birch Forest" for everyone to hear? Looking at the touching lyrics, I am filled with anticipation for this song by the leader
Ye Yang opened his notebook and began searching online to see if there were any similar materials. In case someone later asked how he suddenly got the inspiration to write this song, he would have something to say!
Regarding "Birch Forest," the instrumental accompaniment requirements for this song are not very high; a guitar and an accordion can perfectly interpret this piece. Although it loses some charm without the accordion, with just a guitar and my playing skills, handling the preliminary selection is absolutely no problem!" Thinking of it, Ye Yang quickly downloaded the song "Birch Forest"
Ye Yang contemplated for a moment and ultimately decided to copy the original article, pasting it into the relevant section of his novel as a free chapter for publication. He also indicated the source of the article to prevent any unnecessary copyright disputes
Hard work pays off for those who are diligent. Ye Yang has indeed found a good piece of material, telling a story from the Soviet Union, specifically about a soldier during World War II. The story itself is not particularly moving; it is a piece of literature advocating for peace and opposing war. However, when paired with the lyrics of the song "Birch Forest," it takes on a unique flavor
It can be said that the song "Has Anyone Told You" is undoubtedly an excellent work in terms of quality! Moreover, this song officially gained nationwide popularity during the Happy Boys singing competition, so it is certainly appropriate for this song to participate in the selection for the Male University Singing Competition
"Has anyone told you" is a good piece to save for later, what else could be good? Ye Yang noted down the song "Has anyone told you" and then began to rethink what other good options there might be, but after thinking for a long time, Ye Yang could not come up with any other good songs
Ye Yang has listened to these songs and once admired Pu Shu for a long time, making the selection much easier
Does the great one still write songs? Truly a polymath, please share a photo...
Compared to the original text, the grandiose words are even more touching. Truly, this is the foremost master of the internet, with a writing style that is unparalleled
Moreover, the first thought of this song comes from the impression in his *picture* book, where Chen Chusheng is always seen sitting on a stool, holding a guitar, singing and playing by himself. Therefore, this song "Have You Ever Been Told" is also very suitable for guitar performance! It can be said that in every aspect, "Have You Ever Been Told" is an excellent choice
After downloading the song, Ye Yang tried it out and if he were to evaluate it himself, he would say it is perfect! However, Ye Yang began to worry about the lyrics of this song. It clearly depicts a story related to war, beautiful yet desolate. If asked about the inspiration behind the "creation" of this song, how should he respond?
As a singer with limited influence, Chen Chusheng achieved significant success in Shenzhen with the song "Have I Told You". This song reflects the lifestyle of the people in Shenzhen, resonating with them, and it won the Top Ten Original Songs Award at the 2007 Pengcheng Song Festival.
It should be particularly noted that Ye Yang's cheating device is impressive not only because he can easily learn skills in this area by downloading various online materials, but more importantly, the information he obtains through consuming data at https://www.hetushu.com can be intuitively reflected! For example, if Ye Yang has downloaded the audio file of "White Birch Forest," he can sing with the exact same feeling as the original singer Pu Shu, or perfectly reproduce this song
Which song by Pu Shu are you referring to? Since he has a goal, Ye Yang began searching online using his iPhone 4S cheat tool. Pu Shu's body of work is not particularly extensive, but he does have quite a few classic pieces. Among his representative works, "Those Flowers," "White Birch Forest," "Life is Like Summer Flowers," and "She is Sleeping" have all enjoyed immense popularity at one time or another
"Has anyone told you" is indeed excellent, but without the right mindset to listen, it is difficult to discern the profound meaning of this song, let alone evoke resonance from the judges. Ye Yang does not believe that the judges in the preliminary rounds can maintain such a calm demeanor when evaluating each contestant. This is akin to the college entrance examination essays, where the examiners often skim through most of the papers and grade based on their impressions. This is also why many teachers provide students with exam strategies.
Singing this song in the preliminary selection seems somewhat inappropriate After much contemplation and deliberation, Ye Yang ultimately decided to abandon this tempting idea
However, Ye Yang did not leave empty-handed. The first thing that came to his mind was Chen Chusheng's "Has Anyone Told You?" Before rising to fame, Chen Chusheng was a performing singer in bars in Shenzhen. He created this song based on his own life experiences, and during his first performance on stage, he received enthusiastic support from the audience, with even one customer offering 100 yuan to the sound engineer to help him make a recording.
Holding his newly purchased guitar, Ye Yang returned to the hotel, lost in thought. The next day marked the beginning of the preliminary auditions in Nanning. According to the number he received from his online registration, it would likely be his turn around 10:30 AM tomorrow. Time was not on his side. Although Ye Yang had prepared his performance pieces in advance, he suddenly felt uncertain about them, so he needed to rethink his plan.
Oh? "Life is like summer flowers?" Ye Yang inadvertently caught sight of the four characters "Life is like summer flowers," and was instantly captivated. These four characters reminded Ye Yang of a once-popular singer, a creative artist often said to be no less talented than Jay Chou—Pu Shu! Pu Shu's musical style is distinctive and possesses an indescribable quality that makes one irresistibly drawn to it, and one cannot help but fall in love with it.
Ye Yang thought for a long time but could not come up with any particularly good songs! In his previous life on Earth, he had listened to quite a few songs and could even hum along to most of them. However, it was truly not an easy task to conjure up songs suitable for guitar performance from thin air without any references!
Later, Chen Chusheng brought his song to participate in Hunan TV's main program "Happy Male Voice." During the Xi'an competition, he officially performed "Has Anyone Told You" in the 10 to 1 round, shocking the audience. In the subsequent challenge rounds, he earned the title of champion, truly elevating both the song and his own popularity.
