"The wind was blowing, I tried to hold your hand,
But the rain gradually,
Grew so heavy I couldn't see you,
How much longer until I can be by your side,
When the day clears up,
Maybe I'll be a little better..."
As he reached the chorus, Gong Juren straightened up slightly, holding his guitar.
His voice grew stronger, adding more emotion to the song.
Paired with the breathtaking lyrics and melody, he was the absolute focus!
The oppressive feeling of a rainy day, combined with the anticipation of clearing skies, perfectly captured the innocent sincerity of youth!
He put down his guitar and stood up from the stool, holding the microphone in one hand and slowly extending the other, a look of reminiscence on his face.
The next second!
"Once upon a time, someone loved you for a long time,
But the wind gradually,
Blew us so far apart,
It was hard enough to love you for one more day,
But in the end of the story,
You seemed to say goodbye..."
Wow!
The venue instantly erupted!
These lyrics were like knives, repeatedly slashing through the audience's hearts!
This song wasn't an emotional onslaught from "Cracks," but a beautiful memory, a beautiful emotion, a beautiful story.
Without asking about hardship or storms, if you remain pure, you can be eternal!
Although the outcome described in the lyrics wasn't good, this was the true essence of youth.
Meeting the person you want to care for your entire life at the wrong age.
This was a regret etched in bone and soul!
"His emotional life is so fulfilling, why do his love songs make people cry so much?!"
"Do you think his nickname 'Rainy Day Melancholy Producer' is for nothing?"
"If 'You Must Be Happy' was adult love, then 'Sunny Day' is not just love, but youth!"
"Sorry, my youth was only games and no love, but it doesn't stop me from crying like a dog while listening to this song!"
"Listening to the song, my heart felt sweet, but the sweetness hid a deep bitterness. Rainy Old Man is playing with us!!"
The barrage of comments in the live stream was so dense it was impossible to read.
The audience was deeply moved by the song, touching the softest part of their hearts.
"The accompaniment is still guitar, what is Rainy doing?" Mo Yan's focus was different.
He knew that if Rainy appeared on stage, he would have his own plans. He originally thought Rainy would appear during the interlude, but he hadn't made any moves since the beginning.
"Perhaps it's just a small ensemble," Jiang Qian guessed.
"Impossible," Mo Yan shook his head and continued, "I know him. If it were just an ensemble, he would have incorporated the music into the backing track and wouldn't have appeared in person."
Mo Yan finished speaking, and Jiang Qian and Zhou Qingshan nodded in agreement.
They concurred with Mo Yan's assessment.
And then their anticipation for Rainy's performance grew even stronger.
"The day I skipped class for you,
The day the flowers fell..."
The song had entered its second playback.
The stage lights gradually dimmed.
"The wind was blowing, I tried to hold your hand,
But the rain gradually,
Grew so heavy I couldn't see you..."
Boom!!
A thunderclap sounded!
The accompaniment suddenly stopped!
Rumble!
The sound of heavy rain began.
"Holy cow, it's raining, I haven't brought my clothes in yet?!"
"Why did the accompaniment stop? Is it a performance accident?"
"It's not rain, it's the sound of the accompaniment!"
Just as the audience was bewildered by the sudden change.
The deep and melodious sound of a cello began.
The camera panned to Su Yu in the corner.
He lowered his head slightly, his left hand dancing on the strings, his right hand pulling the bow slowly.
The stage lights simulated a heavy downpour, and under the close-up of the camera, Su Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, his face devoid of extra expression, his chiseled features looking exceptionally serious.
"Hiss... He actually knows the cello, and plays it so well!"
"So damn handsome!!"
"Ahhh! My husband!!"
Many audience members let out screams!
A man concentrating is the most handsome, especially a man concentrating and showcasing his talent.
Su Yu was now a man with all buffs stacked, and under the camera, he was simply captivating!
"So it starts from this position, that's quite unusual!" Mo Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt comfortable.
From the beginning of this song, he had been waiting for Su Yu's performance.
Now it had finally arrived, and a deep sense of satisfaction permeated his heart.
In the singer's area.
Jiang Xiao'e made a fangirl gesture: "Ahhh! Teacher Rainy is too handsome!" Jiang Qian, despite her age, made a fangirl gesture.
Zhang Wei nodded deeply. He suddenly missed the days when he was with Zhang Yang, because if Zhang Yang were present, he would definitely say that classic line now, making Su Yu's show of skill even more perfect.
To be honest, Gong Juren was a bit dazed by Su Yu's cello performance. He was clearly the protagonist on this stage...
However, after a brief moment of mental adjustment, he accepted reality.
Brother Yu was like the bright moon; no matter how low-key he was, his brilliance could not be concealed.
He was too outstanding!
He couldn't compare himself to him!
Suddenly.
The cello music came to an abrupt halt!
Under the thunder and rain, the drums joined in again, and Gong Juren instantly put away his admiration for Su Yu.
He held the microphone with both hands and sang with all his heart!
"Once upon a time, someone loved you for a long time!!
But!
The wind gradually blew us so far apart..."
The high notes changed here, making the audience incredibly excited!
It was as if all the previous oppression was released at this moment.
At the same time, there was a sense of release in the singing.
After all, youth is just youth; there is still a long road ahead.
Some people are just passersby in life, small regrets in memories.
When the entire song was finished.
Su Yu and Gong Juren put down their cello and guitar respectively and walked to the center of the stage, bowing slightly to the audience to express their gratitude.
Immediately, the audience erupted with thunderous applause!
Amidst the applause, Gong Juren followed Su Yu to the producer's area.
"A very powerful song," Mo Yan said to Su Yu, without hiding his praise.
"You flatter me," Su Yu replied humbly.
"Don't be so modest, this song is definitely top-notch in pop music," Mo Yan said, stroking his chin and smiling, "The song is called 'Sunny Day,' but the whole story happens in the rain. 'If you are well, it will be a sunny day.' It's a very thoughtful song, and I really like this arrangement."
If listening to the song had moved them, Mo Yan's words gave the audience a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
"Holy crap, you're right, I just realized it!"
"I was just thinking, the song title doesn't seem to have much to do with the song, but Teacher Mo Yan's line 'If you are well, it will be a sunny day' made me instantly amazed!"
"Simple yet profound, Teacher Mo Yan is right, this song is definitely top-notch in pop music!"
"Compared to the song's meaning, I prefer the song's prelude. If other producers had such a beautiful melody, they would definitely use it repeatedly in the song, but it's a pity that Rainy only used it once."
"I have a premonition that under the interpretation of music critics, 'Sunny Day' will surely reveal many astonishing things!"
