Perfect Superstar

PS Chapter 60 – The Undercurrent Raids

The fourth song is still a new one. For this PK live show, Lu Chen has prepared five new songs to be sung in [Whale TV].

He had sung “Love in The Wind” first, followed by “The Brother Who Slept on My Upper Bunk.” And then “Cinderella” as the third song. All of this just to lay the groundwork. And as the fourth song is still an original, this will help keep his current popularity and improve it further.

The audiences are always fickle, and Lu Chen is relying on a continuous stream of original works to conquer everyone.

But before singing the next song, in accordance to his usual practice, he wanted to express his gratitude to those local tyrants who rewarded him.

The rewards and appreciations are the daily life of the anchors. Many small anchors are even grateful and gave thanks to those who reward them 100 fish balls. And in doing so, they can attract fans to increase their popularity and make the viewers enjoy a sense of achievement.

Lu Chen couldn’t do that. It’s not that he is putting on airs, but there are just too many people rewarding hundreds of thousands of fish ball. If he had to thank each one of them, then during his live show, he would not be able to sing and will just be thanking them.

Most importantly, he won the love and support of his fans, not by selling his mouth, but by his strength!

Of course, local tyrant fans like Li Bai should be thanked.

“... I would like to express my heartfelt thanks... With your support, I will have the motivation to fight!”

“The following song is also my original work. It is also a folk song. Similarly, this is my first time to sing this song...”

“I hope you like it!”

......

While Lu Chen thanked the local tyrants and fans, Suiyu’er An entered the Lu Fei live broadcasting room.

Obviously, that was not his real name. His real name is Sui An, the editor of Yunjing Music Network.

Yunjing Music Network, founded in 2007, is one of the top five music websites in China. Sui An has joined this website as an insider for five years. He can be regarded as a senior editor.

In addition, he now has a temporary status, that is, he is one of the 12 judges of [Whale TV] PK live show. He has the power to score and evaluate 24 anchors and has the ability to influence the final ranking.

When he entered Lu Fei live broadcasting room, he was in a rather bad mood.

Before he went to Lu Chen’s live broadcasting room, he was in a live broadcasting room that belong to a female anchor called “Lady Rain”. The female anchor was very beautiful and well-dressed which could be scored at least 8 points.

But what was she doing? She was singing a song for three minutes that usually takes one minute. Most of the time, she was just pouting, frowning, squeezing her face and shaking her chest. That chest that’s B cup was squeezed until it looked like a C+ cup.

Sui An was disappointed after watching it for three minutes. If it weren’t for his responsibility as a judge, he wouldn’t have stayed there for more than three seconds.

As for Lu Fei, the theme of his show is called graduation season. It seems a little interesting and fits in with the current season. But what is campus folk song? And in the introduction of the theme, it is said that all the songs that he will be singing are original works. A new generation of talented person in folk song...

Do young people nowadays not blush when they boast?

As a genuine person in the industry, Sui An is very helpless. On one hand, the influence of domestic pop music is declining. On the other hand, new people are all claiming that they are able to write original works. But the result was its all garbage songs and they will coax their fans to pay a lot of money.

As an editor of the music website, Sui An has encountered too many of such things. So, when he saw that it was an original work, he had the urge to spit.

Therefore, he simply didn’t have any expectations at all. He evaluated it as the anchor just wanting to draw in money.

As soon as he entered the broadcasting room, Sui An saw a young man holding a guitar against the microphone.

His impression instantly turned bad.

Sui An instinctively wanted to click on the “exit” button in the upper right corner, but decided to tolerate it and move the cursor to “playback” button.

Sui An was given a Privilege Account by the official of [Whale TV].

On the Privilege Account, he could not see the barrages on the screen or reward information in the live broadcasting room, and he will be invisible. He will also be able to play back past live content. He would start at the beginning and give the young man three minutes.

If the young man can’t attract the interest of Sui An in that three minutes, then he will say goodbye to the anchor.

As for the 10 blue whales in his account, he will not waste even one.

Live broadcast playback begins.

Three minutes later, Sui An sat motionless, with a look of surprise on his face.

Because he discovered that he almost missed a talent.

He never dreamed that the song sung by the anchor named “Lu Fei” was really an original work, and a very good one. At least, it can’t be compared to the few folk songs in the recent years!

“Love In The Wind”, campus folk song, an original work...

Sui An suddenly had the feeling that he has found a treasure and he couldn’t help but get excited.

After the first song was finished, Sui An repeated the song and listened to it again. Then, he proceeded to the second song.

“The Brother Who Slept on My Upper Bunk”!

It was still an original work. It has a similar style. It was sang perfectly and was very moving. Sui An was completely speechless.

When did such a talented young man emerge from the declining folk song circle?

Sui An is 100% sure that these two songs have never been heard before, but the host’s face is very strange.

Then the third song, “Cinderella”.

Sui An’s face became flushed. He didn’t know how to describe what he’s feeling at that moment. He has already passed the age where he couldn’t easily get affected, but he was too excited!

He did not hesitate to send out 5 of the 10 blue whale points in his account.

A blue whale represents a positive comment. The more positive comment the anchor gets, the more it affects the final ranking.

The reason why Sui An didn’t send out all the blue whales was that according to the rules, he could only send 50% to one anchor.

Sui’an was still not satisfied with 5 blue whale points. He copied the link address of the live broadcasting room, opened QQ, paste and sent it to two friends in the circle: “You should see this young man and listen to his songs!”

His two friends are also judges of [Whale TV] PK live show.

Sui An was someone who would rather not use the blue whale points in his account and never send them out easily, but right now, he hated that his vote is limited for the anchor named Lu Fei.

So, he needed the support of his peers.

If the PK live show let those people who just act coquettish come to power, Sui An will feel sorry for the show!

Lu Chen knew nothing about it. When Sui An replayed the live broadcast, he sang the fourth song of graduation season.

The name of this new song is called “The Bright Times Of Early Youth”.

“Returning once again to the month of May in late spring,

There weren’t many people at the market in the early hours of the morning.

A child was singing in front of the door.

Sunlight shone upon and warmed the creek.

Willow catkins were blown by the great wind.

The people beneath the trees’ shadows wanted to sleep.

From this moment onward, those who were silent started being happy,

Puppets who’d shed the bitterly cold winter.

My melancholic white dress shirt,

The first cigarette inside the pocket of youth,

The me who’d come to understand love for the first time

Never dared to speak to you about it...

......”

The first song of the graduation season theme, “Love In The Wind”, tells about love. The second song, “The Brother Who Slept on My Upper Bunk”, represents the friendship between boys. The third song, Cinderella, is about girl’s fantasy of love.

Then this song “The Bright Times Of Early Youth” is mainly about nostalgia, nostalgia for the time of youth, nostalgia for the innocent era, nostalgia for the ignorant love, nostalgia for simple life and carefree days.

The lyrics — the house covered with ivy vines, the neighbors under the eaves, persimmon trees, radio — all reflect a strong sense of nostalgia. Listening to him sing will make the listener feel as if they are back to that wonderful time.

The song resonates most with people born in the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. Because they have a deep memory of that era!

“......

The youngster who knew no moderation and only wanted to play held onto [his] comic book, never letting go.

What accompanied me in going to sleep,

Were the moon’s worries

And a pillow filled with fantasies,

A pillow covered in drool.

......”

Vaguely in a dream, do you often recall the past years?

“A good song, reminds me of my childhood...”

“Childhood +1. During childhood when I was still in the countryside, I played every day, go fishing, catch frog, and catch mud.”

“There is no village now, only farmhouse.”

“I want to eat maltose, big rolls, oranges, popsicles...”

“I am waiting for the food from above poster.”

“My favorite radio was lost by my mother, 5555 ~”

“Have you seen a comic book?”

“I want to say...”

“What ugly song is being praised by some people? Is this a joke?”

“This is considered to be hot list level? Did you cheat?”

“Hehe...”

All of a sudden, the screen was bombarded with barrages.

And the number is getting more and more!
