Shuangqing City.
Su Yu's parents and a group of relatives have returned to their rural hometown.
Although everyone had made some money from the booming noodle shop business and bought houses in the city.
Everyone wanted to return to their hometown for the New Year.
And everyone could also worship their ancestors together.
In previous years, New Year's Eve dinners were eaten separately.
But this year was special. Since everyone wasn't in their hometown, the stoves and other kitchen facilities hadn't been organized. So, they decided to have a reunion dinner at their eldest aunt's house.
This time, everyone knew that Su Yu would be on the Spring Festival Gala, so after dinner, they gathered to watch it.
"Mom, why isn't Xiao Yu ge not out yet?" Su Xiaoling hadn't seen Su Yu for a long time and missed him dearly.
"He should be a little later. Your Xiao Yu ge is opening the porcelain segment." Su Yu's father, Su Zhengguo, hadn't stopped smiling all day.
Returning to their hometown this year, Su Zhengguo and everyone else had been the center of attention. The village knew that the Su family had produced an amazing Su Yu.
Furthermore, many young people from neighboring villages had specifically come to the Su family home to catch a glimpse of the big star Su Yu. Unfortunately, Su Yu hadn't returned for the New Year this year, so they didn't get to see him.
Not only the young people but even the village head and village officials had visited the Su family.
"Our Xiao Yu is attending the Spring Festival Gala. You'll be able to see him tonight."
Whenever someone asked about Su Yu, Zhang Guizhi would proudly explain.
In the eyes of rural people, the Spring Festival Gala was a program for the entire nation. Being able to appear on this program was incredibly glorious, far more impressive than any entertainment celebrity.
Therefore, upon learning that Su Yu would be on the Spring Festival Gala, the entire village felt proud of Su Yu.
"It's starting, it's starting!"
"Quick, Xiao Yu ge is about to appear!"
Su Xiaoling and Gu Qianqian sat cross-legged on the living room sofa, pointing at the TV screen.
The Spring Festival Gala had now entered the porcelain segment.
"Porcelain has always been a treasure of Chinese culture, and China is also known as the hometown of porcelain. So, let us now experience the beauty of porcelain together!"
As the host took the stage and finished speaking, the music began.
The prelude to "Blue and White Porcelain" was as beautiful as a landscape painting, delicate with a hint of melancholy. This song only used the five notes of Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu. Although classified as ancient style, it was significantly different from ordinary ancient style songs.
After analysis by many music critics and experts in the field, it received everyone's recognition.
Although at the beginning, some people questioned the lyrics of this song for being not rigorous, with the praise of many literary giants, the lyrics were selected for textbooks, and with official approval, all doubts disappeared.
It is worth mentioning.
Because Ting Yu's songs like "Blue and White Porcelain," "Lanting Xu," and "Yan Hua Yi Leng" had a unique style, even though they were classified under ancient style songs, they were different from ordinary ancient style songs. They could be considered a pioneering style.
After official and industry authorities discussed it, a separate category was created for this style.
Chinese Style!
That's right, just as the government had been promoting traditional Chinese culture from the beginning, "Blue and White Porcelain" was released, followed by several other songs in the same style, which led many producers to imitate it.
Therefore, with the promotion from the government and authoritative figures.
The new classification of Chinese Style was completely separated from ancient style, becoming a classification exclusive to Ting Yu's style.
Blue and White Porcelain
Vocalist: Ting Yu
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
As the song information appeared on the big screen.
Applause erupted from the audience.
Because it was the grand Spring Festival Gala, the audience members were not ordinary people. They included government officials, outstanding talents from various industries, and elites from all walks of life.
These people naturally did not cheer and scream like fans. Although the Spring Festival Gala stage was lively, it was generally more solemn than entertainment programs.
"The plain embryo is outlined with blue and white brushstrokes, thick then light,
The peony depicted on the vase is just like your first makeup.
The slowly rising sandalwood incense through the window, I understand your thoughts,
The brushstroke on the Xuan paper stops here, leaving half..."
Su Yu's distinctive pronunciation and singing style emerged.
This gave the song a new feeling.
Lin Yanyu's singing was excellent. Her interpretation of "Blue and White Porcelain" also carried a feminine gentleness.
While Su Yu's interpretation added a melodious and graceful touch, making the entire song more like a painted scroll with a stronger visual sense.
"Ting Yu's Chinese Style songs, this is the only one sung by someone else, right?"
"That's right. I've been expecting him to interpret 'Blue and White Porcelain' himself. Now my wish has finally come true. And the feeling he sings with, although his pronunciation is still unclear, that flavor is truly something only he can sing."
"Indeed, it has that authentic feel. Mainly, this singing style is too recognizable. I used to suspect that Dark Night Rabbit was Ting Yu, but now I think it's impossible. Ting Yu's flavor is too distinct, it's definitely a personal signature."
"Didn't the internet spread that Dark Night Rabbit is Lin Yanzhi?"
"Not necessarily. From what netizens have dug up, Lin Yanzhi hasn't shown any particularly outstanding singing skills. His foreign music is mainly electronic. While Dark Night Rabbit is someone who can go head-to-head with a singing god. As long as Lin Yanzhi doesn't display his singing skills, I won't believe he's Dark Night Rabbit."
"Damn it, when Ting Yu sings, just listen properly. Why are you talking about other singers? Cherish the opportunity. He rarely performs live."
In the eyes of netizens, after the city competition ended, Ting Yu hadn't sung on stage for a long time.
Even if this wasn't a new song, it was still his reinterpretation of a song.
The Chinese Style songs created by Ting Yu, only "Blue and White Porcelain" was not sung by himself. Now that his own version is out, it can be considered fulfilling fans' dreams.
"The sky-blue waits for the misty rain, and I am waiting for you.
The cooking smoke curls up, a thousand miles across the river..."
The first line of the chorus was so beautiful that countless people changed it to their personal signatures.
Mo Yan, as a music maestro, was naturally invited to the audience.
He had praised "Blue and White Porcelain" countless times. He only regretted not being a judge at the event at the time, otherwise, this song wouldn't have been affected by public opinion and wouldn't have needed the efforts of many industry insiders to re-emerge.
Moreover, he had pointed out more than once on social platforms that the judges at the time not only lacked skill but also were undeserving of their positions.
"It's too beautiful. Both the lyrics and the arrangement are definitely ancient style. It lives up to its reputation as the pinnacle of Chinese Style!"
Mo Yan was so excited that he almost stood up, and Shen Jinghong beside him quickly held him back.
"Teacher, don't get too excited. Maintain your image..." he said in a muffled voice.
Shen Jinghong had a complex feeling towards Ting Yu, like a rival and a friend.
The reason for being a rival was that he lost to Ting Yu in the city competition, and now in "Masked Singer," because of the combination of Dark Night Rabbit and Ting Yu, he had been unable to win the championship.
Being suppressed by Ting Yu made him very unhappy.
The reason for being a friend was that he genuinely admired Ting Yu's talent from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, because he often played the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" with the singer group, they had long become friends.
Therefore, his feelings for Ting Yu were very complicated.
