Chapter 67

Listen...

I haven't deliberately hidden ~ nor do I intend to make you sad ~

How many times we reveled until drunk ~

Cursing life as too short ~ lamenting the regret of meeting too late ~

Letting women cry until their makeup runs ~ without a care ~

...

Regretting that we never grew up ~

Not even understanding ~ before we grew old ~

Striving but still not comprehending ~

The young people around us ~

...

After crossing the first small hill, Lin Zai Shan almost didn't take a break and immediately started the B1 segment of the performance.

Continuing the journey of life.

At this moment, the melody of the guitar in his hands was no longer as light as before; the use of the strings was clearly more varied, and his voice was noticeably deeper.

It's like climbing a mountain, reaching the peak, and just as you're about to catch your breath, you find a higher hill in front of you.

You might rest for a moment, then reorganize and move toward the higher hill.

But sometimes, life doesn't give you the chance to rest.

Perhaps for fame or profit, you don't want to give up such an opportunity.

As the saying goes, if you don't advance, you will fall behind.

There are always enemies chasing you from behind; if you stop moving forward, you might lose all your previous efforts, or even fall off the cliff.

At this moment, you must grit your teeth and keep moving forward, no matter how bitter, how tired, or how much you struggle, you cannot stop.

At this moment, Lin Zai Shan is overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles, setting aside the influence of the arrangement, using his talent, perseverance, and effort to move toward the second peak.

As soon as the B1 segment began, Guan Yaling, who had been listening intently, immediately held her breath, trying her best to feel and appreciate the subtle changes in the emotional power conveyed in Lin Zai Shan's voice.

Such a delicate layering of emotions elevated Guan Yaling's listening experience to a new level!

Originally, when listening to the first segment, she was simply unable to resist Lin Zai Shan's voice.

Now, feeling the profound and intricate structure design in the song, Guan Yaling immediately felt a deep respect for this handsome white-haired uncle.

In a daze, she felt as if she were listening to the works of the revered Master Li by her side.

The taste of life, the meticulous and profound perspective, all carried the style of a grandmaster!

Who is this uncle?

Guan Yaling became increasingly curious about Lin Zai Shan's identity.

A musician who could write such a work was almost certainly not an outsider. His voice, with its top-notch timbre, could not belong to an outsider. But the few renowned masters in the industry did not include such a person!

Guan Yaling turned to look at Li Zongheng beside her, really wanting to ask: "Big Brother Li, do you know this senior? Why does he remind me of you?"

Li Zongheng was also wondering who this "young" person was, who could write such a layered and profound work.

25 years ago, Li Zongheng was already a top producer at Arrow Target.

Although he hadn't produced an album for Lin Zai Shan, Li Zongheng knew Lin Zai Shan.

With a talent-cherishing attitude, Li Zongheng had a deep conversation with Lin Zai Shan about life when Lin was 18, but unfortunately, Lin didn't leave a good impression.

Now, seeing the other person again, Li Zongheng couldn't recognize this weathered middle-aged man as the once rebellious rock youth.

Looking at Lin Zai Shan, Li Zongheng felt a sense of familiarity but couldn't recall who it was.

Lin Zai Shan's heart-rending high notes left a deep impression on Li Zongheng.

If Lin Zai Shan's voice hadn't changed, Li Zongheng would have recognized him, even if Lin Zai Shan turned to ashes.

But now, Lin Zai Shan's voice had undergone a qualitative change, becoming extremely weathered and emotional, which puzzled Li Zongheng.

In the Chinese pop music industry, no one was more experienced than Li Zongheng, a living fossil. He knew exactly how many good voices there were in the industry.

The voice of the singer in front of him had never appeared in the industry.

Is this a folk musician?

Looking at the old guitar he was holding, it seemed to have a long history.

Such a musician, who had never surfaced in the industry, made Li Zongheng feel a sense of loss for the entire Chinese music scene.

But good things are never too late.

As long as he comes out, it's worth digging into.

Li Zongheng came to "Singer" as a mentor not only to win a championship for Arrow Target but also to discover talented new singer-songwriters.

Lin Zai Shan, whether in singing or songwriting, was exactly what Li Zongheng was looking for.

The more he listened, the more he liked this young uncle with white hair.

The more he listened, the more he felt it deeply.

Like Guan Yaling, Li Zongheng clearly felt the subtle changes in the layers of Lin Zai Shan's voice in the B segment.

At this moment, there should be an arrangement to support the song, making it more atmospheric.

The framework design of the song was very thoughtful.

This is a big song with layers, and it shouldn't just have a single guitar accompaniment.

With Ma Xiaodong's musical素养, he should have created a high-level arrangement for this song, but the singer had already finished B1 and B2, and the music team hadn't followed up.

Li Zongheng looked at the direction of the music team with some doubt.

Seeing that they were all listening to Lin Zai Shan intently and not preparing to play, Li Zongheng was taken aback: "Such a good song, why not do an arrangement? What is Ma Xiaodong up to!"

The lack of an arrangement made Li Zongheng feel a bit regretful.

However, Lin Zai Shan's next performance immediately erased Li Zongheng's regret.

Not only did it erase it, but it also gave Li Zongheng a huge surprise!

...

Find a reason for yourself ~

Temptation of love and fate ~

Fighting back with all your might ~ until the end ~

...

In this bridge section, Lin Zai Shan's voice suddenly became powerful!

Previously, he had been holding his breath, using his voice to climb steadily, climbing, climbing... finally reaching the mountain's neck, just one step away from the peak!

At this moment, Lin Zai Shan gathered all his strength and courage, his voice becoming particularly resonant! It was like delivering a powerful punch, shattering all the previous difficulties and obstacles in one go!

A bridge leading to the second major climax, like a surging river!

Water overflowing the mountain!

This wasn't just crossing a hill; he was being lifted to the peak by a flood!

...

Crossing the hill ~! Though my head is already white ~!

Ranting about the sorrow of time not waiting for me ~!

Not yet achieving the eternal ~!

I have already lost myself ~!

...

Crossing the hill ~! Only to find no one waiting ~!

Ranting, the tenderness can no longer be recalled ~!

Why can't I remember who gave me the last embrace ~!

At what time ~!

...

What's wrong with not having an arrangement? Lin Zai Shan used his voice to elevate the melody!

Standing tall among the peaks!

When looking back with white hair, Lin Zai Shan's voice suddenly had a commanding and majestic presence!

In such a powerful climax, there was a light and easy transition, reflecting on the vicissitudes of life.

Following a strong, lonely, and time-pressing sorrow, Li Zongheng was moved to exclaim!

"——Brilliant!"

Rarely, Li Zongheng clapped for the singer before the performance was complete.

Originally, Li Zongheng thought this song was a hidden gem in his heart.

But Lin Zai Shan's performance elevated the song to a new height!

This made Li Zongheng extremely delighted!

The younger generation surpasses the older!

Li Zongheng rarely felt this way.

But at this moment, feeling Lin Zai Shan's outstanding performance, Li Zongheng had this thought.

Like a lightning bolt splitting the sky, Lin Zai Shan's second climax was a sudden and brilliant advance, almost making Guan Yaling jump out of her mentor's chair!

Her large chest shook violently!

Her emotions had been climbing with Lin Zai Shan's voice, and suddenly, she stepped on the hill! Then, looking back, the sense of a lonely and powerful figure emerged, the contrast and impact made Guan Yaling truly impressed!

Clap —!

As Lin Zai Shan stood alone on the peak, Zhou Qinghua turned his chair for Lin Zai Shan!

Originally, Zhou Qinghua also thought there would be an arrangement to push the song to a higher level.

Unexpectedly, without an arrangement, the singer-songwriter used his voice to elevate the song. Zhou Qinghua, known for his singing, gave Lin Zai Shan a thumbs up and turned his chair.

Even if the other person was from Arrow Target, Zhou Qinghua couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Such singing and songwriting, complementing each other, moving from the heart to a shock, was truly extraordinary for Zhou Qinghua!

The entire audience was沸腾!

Lu Chen, with her big belly, was shouting passionately, and the five disciples were completely hyped up. At this moment, Lin Zai Shan was a god in their eyes!

At the edge of the stage, Park Dae-cheng unbuttoned another button on his shirt, sweat pouring out layer by layer!

If not for his work, he would have joined the audience in clapping and cheering for Lin Zai Shan!

The people in the music team were also excited!

Lin Zai Shan's live performance of "Hill" was a hundred times more exciting than the small sample they had heard! Too thrilling!

Only Ma Xiaodong was dumbfounded, still hugging his arms, his fat face completely numb.

He was so impacted by Lin Zai Shan's voice that he felt a bit dizzy — what just happened? How did his voice suddenly leap so much!

Seeing the entire audience clapping and praising Lin Zai Shan along with Li Zongheng, Ma Xiaodong felt his face burning, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable!

He had heard the original version of "Hill" by Lin Zai Shan and knew the song's meaning.

But now, Lin Zai Shan's sudden leap made Ma Xiaodong stubbornly believe that this treatment completely destroyed the song's meaning!

He was singing just to sing! No longer from the heart!

How could Lin Zai Shan not be singing from the heart?

This was singing from the heart!

With the sudden surge of reaching the peak of life, Lin Zai Shan used the most dominant way to climb the second hill of life!

When he saw the third, even higher hill, almost without a visible peak, Lin Zai Shan no longer struggled or hesitated.

With the two lifetimes of life experiences, slowly plucking the new strings of the old guitar, he could smile and sing.

The old, faded guitar, 24 years ago, gave a new life to the 13-year-old man.

24 years later, it would give a new life to the 37-year-old Lin Zai Shan.
