Chapter 230: "The Mask" and "The Empress"
Many audiences couldn't understand the lyrics, but they fell in love with the song just by listening to the melody. Just like many people who know nothing about English; once they hear an English song, they fall in love with it, even though they can't understand a single word of the lyrics.
Therefore, music has no boundaries. Good songs, no matter what language they are in or where they come from, are still loved by everyone. And the best part of this song is just about to start...
A slightly passionate voice suddenly 'exploded' in the ears of every audience member, even the accompaniment became more fiery.
"Like wearing a mask to conceal the fatigue, facing the artillery fire still wearing a relaxed expression, emotions should not be agitated, still lifting heavy like a feather to dissolve all pressure as if it had vanished..."
This sudden chorus instantly ignited the fire in everyone's heart, a surge of excitement to clench their fists tightly, a desire to sing aloud. Even the audience who couldn't understand the lyrics could sense that the song was very inspiring, as if it was strongly encouraging everyone to do something. This spiritual connection tormented the 'dark side' in people's hearts, 'roasting' it until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Outside the study, three 'little tails' had already sneaked in, hiding in a corner where Jiang Siming couldn't see them, enjoying the live performance with full satisfaction.
"I didn't expect Oppa to sing so well~~~" Lin Yun'er looked at Jiang Siming beside the piano with starry eyes, feeling the charm of this Eastern man from another side, his excellence far exceeding her imagination. Although she couldn't understand the Chinese lyrics, Lin Yun'er felt that this song was a hundred times better than the Korean songs sung by those sickly-sweet boy bands in her country!
She believed that if the lyrics were erased and rewritten in Korean, the song would certainly become a hit in Korea as well! Moreover, Jiang Siming, who was playing the piano, was incredibly handsome. Lin Yun'er wished she could run over and give Jiang Siming a passionate kiss, becoming his little fan girl. This was also the first time Yin Zhirou heard Jiang Siming sing. She realized that a few songs she had heard online recently, all titled Jiang Siming, were said to be composed and written by a game streamer.
At the time, she thought this streamer was truly talented, even more so than professional singers. Now she finally knew that this person... was her man!
"Xin Yi, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yin Zhirou complained softly to Wang Xinyi.Wang Xinyi said with a smile, "I just wanted to give you a surprise. See, aren't you super excited now?"
Yin Zhirou didn't argue, instead, she nodded in agreement, "At first, I thought he only knew how to play the piano. I didn't expect his singing to be just as good. It's such a waste that he's not a star."
"Haha, I've said it before, but he said he's not interested in the entertainment industry." Wang Xinyi tilted her head, gazing at Jiang Siming with nothing but admiration and love in her eyes.
At this moment, the song reached its most intense part. Jiang Siming's fingers flew across the keys, the veins on his neck becoming slightly visible.
"If you take off your mask, perhaps your face will turn red. Riding the evening breeze, go in pursuit of the carefree stars. Getting rid of false tolerance, I can't really understand. The youthful green of our younger years, harboring ideals, even if it hurts..."
These lyrics truly moved a large number of people from the Guangdong-Hong Kong region, as only they could understand the sentiments and aspirations in the lyrics. This song has a strong flavor of Beyond's songs, inspiring, uplifting, and stirring. It wasn't until Jiang Siming's piano playing came to an end that the audience recovered from the song.
"Jiang Moye has activated the Emperor rank in Ming's live broadcast room!"
"Jiang Moye, Emperor, gives 50 Super Rockets to Ming's live broadcast room!"
[Jiang Moye]: I'm a genuine Cantonese person, and hearing this song really touched me. Thank you, Ming God, for writing this new song; I love it so much! It feels like I've found the flavor of listening to cassettes again, with songs back then being so inspiring, passionate, and beautiful!
"Feng Lu Gui Hai, Emperor, gives 10 spaceships to Ming's live broadcast room!"
[Feng Lu Gui Hai]: I'm from Hong Kong, and I also really enjoy this song. It's love at first listen. I haven't heard such a good Cantonese song in a long time. In recent years, Hong Kong singers have rarely released Cantonese songs, all focusing on expanding their market with Mandarin songs. I didn't expect to hear such a beautiful new Cantonese song here, awesome, awesome, awesome! I will definitely visit this live broadcast room more often in the future!...
There were many more such comments and bullet screens. For the audience who love Cantonese songs, this was a grand gift. Many viewers felt a bit regretful that if Jiang Siming had sung the song before twelve o'clock, the potential value would probably have risen by another ten million. However, most of the comments came from people from Guangdong and Hong Kong. After all, many couldn't understand the lyrics of the song, and the live broadcast didn't provide subtitles for them, so they didn't have much of a feeling. They just felt that the melody of the song was very flavorful.
Suddenly, Jiang Siming remembered that this song had a Mandarin version called "Empress of the Sky." He might as well play the Mandarin version for everyone at once. Many in the audience didn't understand, but it was okay. Find your next read at empire
"This song also has a Mandarin version called 'Queen of Heaven,' which I'll dedicate to everyone!" said Jiang Siming.
After speaking, his fingers continued to dance over the black and white keys, singing "Queen of Heaven." The accompaniment was identical to "The Mask," except for the lyrics. However, "Queen of Heaven" presented a completely different artistic conception compared to "The Mask," yet it was equally beautiful, satisfying the audience's ears and winning their hearts completely.
"Tomorrow, I'll record these two songs and upload them online. Alright, that's all for today's live stream, goodbye!" After singing the two songs, Jiang Siming quickly ended the live stream with no intention of sticking around to chat. The audience, having heard two new songs today, were quite content. Everyone eagerly awaited the UP owner to produce the edited versions of the songs to listen to them all night, then look forward to Jiang Siming releasing the official versions tomorrow. Just as he got up, Jiang Siming noticed three pretty girls standing in his room, smiling at him.
"Hey, when did you all come in?" Jiang Siming asked, puzzled. He had been singing all along and didn't notice anyone coming in.
"We've been here for a while, ever since you started singing," Wang Xinyi said with a grin.
"Oppa, your singing is so beautiful! Come be the main singer for our Girls' Generation!" Jiang Siming's face turned dark when he heard this, and he immediately went over and gave her a few smacks on the butt. What does it mean to be the main singer for Girls' Generation? Damn, this idea seems not bad. Girls' Generation are all beautiful, if I go...
Cough, stop, I don't want to be in a girl group!
"Ouch, Oppa, you're bullying me, I'm going to bite you, ah uw~"
"If you dare to bite me, I'll bite you too, I'll bite your mouth!"
"Mm~" Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou exchanged looks, covered their mouths, and quietly left the study. The atmosphere in the study changed instantly
