Concertgoers typically listen to the singer perform.
However, the songs sung by Ting Yu were so familiar that the audience couldn't help but sing along.
Su Yu noticed this phenomenon on stage and thus invited everyone to sing along during the final segment.
After "Hou Lai" concluded, there was no pause. A concert needs to ignite the atmosphere, and starting with a melancholic song wouldn't achieve that. He then performed "Wang Fei" to warm up the crowd.
Rock music has always been the most suitable genre for live performances.
"The night is too beautiful, even if it's too dangerous,
There are always those who stay up all night with bloodshot eyes.
Love is too beautiful, even if it's too dangerous,
Willing to sacrifice everything, with tears exceeding a thousand years..."
The flashing lights, coupled with the metal-infused vocals, completely set the venue ablaze!
This song, "Wang Fei," was the one that made Yin Na kneel on the "Masked Singer" stage, and it also became a classic rock anthem.
Many rock bands had used this song to participate in competitions, and it had appeared on various variety shows.
"It truly has to be sung by Ting Yu himself to have this essence!"
"Exactly, this metallic feel is simply invincible!"
"This ability to evoke emotion is something I've only seen at concerts by international superstars in the US!"
"Ting Yu's songwriting talent overshadows his vocal skills. In fact, even purely discussing his singing, he'd rank in the top ten on Lan Xing!"
"Ting Yu is invincible!!"
The audience below waved their light sticks.
It resembled a sea of cyan light, forming a brilliant flow of stars, breathtakingly beautiful!
The older songs performed earlier were all chosen by fan votes.
Combined with the meticulous selection by Xing Hui's planning department, the song types and styles were made as diverse as possible.
After the nostalgic love song "Hou Lai" and the rock anthem "Wang Fei," Su Yu accepted the guitar handed to him by a staff member.
He sat down and began to sing a folk song.
"A cup to the morning sun, a cup to the moonlight,
Awakening my aspirations, softening the winter window.
Thus, I can fly against the wind without looking back,
Unafraid of rain in my heart, or frost in my eyes.
A cup to my hometown, a cup to the distant lands,
Guarding my kindness, urging my growth.
So the roads north and south will no longer be long,
And my soul will no longer be adrift..."
"Xiao Chou"!
Eight cups of wine, to a lifetime!
This song was written by Ting Yu for Li Yun Chuan during the city championships.
It also became the most popular song in Li Yun Chuan's career.
Not only was the melody of this song beautiful, but the lyrics were also praised by countless music critics, considered a peak work of the folk genre in the Chinese music scene.
"This way, it's also a form of participating in Ting Yu's concert..."
Somewhere in the audience.
Li Yun Chuan was already in tears.
He still remembered the surprise when the company asked him to join Ting Yu's team, the excitement when he first received "Xiao Chou," and the happiness of singing on stage and winning the championship.
Having sung Ting Yu's songs, he had no regrets in this life!
...
After the folk song.
Next were naturally ancient-style songs.
Although "Qing Hua Ci" had the highest public demand, Su Yu had already sung it during the Spring Festival Gala. To offer a new experience to the audience, he chose his mother-in-law's song "Chi Ling."
It was also considered an early work.
Furthermore, Chen Rong had performed "Chi Ling" to its absolute peak, moving countless people to tears.
Su Yu's performance this time imbued the song with a different feeling.
"In a chaotic world, a floating duckweed, how can I bear to see the smoke of war engulfing rivers and mountains?
Though low in status, I dare not forget my duty to the country, even if no one knows me.
The audience below comes and goes, their old colors unseen.
The performer on stage sings a song of heartbreak and farewell.
The word 'love' is hard to inscribe, and her singing must be with blood to match.
The curtain rises, the curtain falls, who is the guest..."
The smooth, operatic vocals were arguably on par with Chen Rong's.
At this moment, everyone realized.
"Ting Yu not singing opera is the greatest waste of his talent."
This statement was not a jest but genuine praise.
After four songs,
Su Yu's condition was gradually improving.
Looking at the flashing light sticks on stage, and the deafening cheers and applause.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
This was the biggest stage since his debut.
Five hundred thousand audience members gave him a sense of boundlessness.
"Thank you all for coming to my concert."
Having finished four songs, according to the rehearsal schedule, it was now time for audience interaction.
"Next, I will randomly select a lucky audience member to sing a song with me."
Whoosh!
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, incredibly enthusiastic cheers erupted from below!
To be able to sing with the music industry's godfather, Ting Yu, was the dream of many!
"The camera will move through the audience, and I will randomly call for it to stop. Whoever the camera locks onto is the lucky audience member!"
After Su Yu finished speaking.
The big screen switched to the audience's perspective.
The camera moved through the audience seats.
With every area it moved to, people in that area would stand up and cheer.
They held up their light sticks, creating deafening cheers like a surging tide. This human wave formed by light sticks looked incredibly spectacular!
"Stop!"
Finally, the camera stopped, then zoomed in, locking onto a young girl in the audience.
The girl, seeing her face appear on the big screen on stage, was first bewildered, then flushed with excitement.
Soon, a staff member handed her a microphone.
"Ting Yu, hello, I... I am... I am your fan!" She was somewhat at a loss, her voice trembling.
"Don't be too nervous, take a deep breath with me," Su Yu said with a smile.
This caused a ripple of laughter throughout the venue.
The girl's face turned even redder, but her nervousness subsided significantly.
"What song would you like to request?" Su Yu asked with a smile.
"Um... I really like that song, 'Fei Yun Zhi Xia.'"
After taking a few deep breaths with Su Yu, although she was still a bit excited, she could speak without much issue, but her pretty face still had a hint of shyness.
"Oh?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "This song is quite difficult, are you sure?"
"I... I think I can..." the girl replied, looking down shyly.
"Alright, then here's 'Fei Yun Zhi Xia' for everyone!"
Whoosh!
After Su Yu finished speaking.
The venue erupted in thunderous applause once again.
"Fei Yun Zhi Xia" ranked among the top ten most difficult songs in Ting Yu's discography.
"The little girl looks so frail, why would she choose something so challenging."
"Haha, I've already covered my ears!"
"This is known as the nightmare of cover songs. I must admire her courage."
"But this girl looks somewhat familiar?"
"Indeed, I feel like I've seen her somewhere."
Although everyone didn't have high expectations for the shy girl, they still gave her applause and support. After all, "Ting Yu's fans are a family" wasn't just a saying; the encouragement they deserved would be given.
The prelude began.
The crisp sound of the piano echoed through the venue.
The previously boisterous audience gradually quieted down.
The camera focused on the girl.
She held the microphone, a blush on her face.
Su Yu nodded at her.
Finally, the prelude ended.
The next second, she began to sing.
