"Is he singing an old song or is there really a new one?"
"The host himself said it, and you still don't believe it? Would he joke on such a big stage?"
"I dare to guess that Zhang Wei's new song will definitely be in Cantonese!"
"Do I even need to guess? Zhang Wei is in the Ting Yu Singer Group, which was born for Cantonese songs!"
"I hope it's a love song. After all, this is an internal entertainment stage, so don't make it too high-end."
"If Zhang Wei is singing a new song, is it possible that Gong Ju Ren and Jiang Xiao E will also have one?"
"Hiss... three new songs in one night!!"
"If that's the case, then I'll f***ing love Ting Yu!!"
The bullet comments exploded at this moment!
The host said there was a new song, and Zhang Wei had already gone on stage. On such a big stage, he wouldn't joke.
Therefore, Zhang Wei would definitely sing a new song from Ting Yu.
Furthermore, based on his understanding of the singer group, Zhang Wei was crowned king with the Cantonese song "Fu Kua," so it was very likely he would sing a Cantonese song.
As for Jiang Xiao E and Gong Ju Ren, it was a bit harder to guess.
However, during the red carpet interview, the audience was very disappointed because Ting Yu was clearly just making promises. They thought there wouldn't be any new songs in the short term. No one expected him to make a feint and give all the audience and fans such a big surprise!
On stage.
Zhang Wei gazed at the audience.
These were not ordinary audience members; they included almost all top singers in the internal entertainment industry and various musicians.
In the past, he dreamed of being invited to such a top-tier feast, and he would have been happy just sitting in the audience.
He never expected that he would now be able to stand on stage, be watched by so many peers, and cheered for.
Zhang Wei's gaze turned to a certain position in the front row of the audience.
That was Su Yu and Lin Yan Yu's seating.
Although he couldn't see them clearly due to the lighting, he still slowly bowed in that direction.
"Thank you..."
A large part of the reason he could go from rock bottom to the peak was Su Yu's help.
Without Su Yu, there would be no him today.
Zhang Wei was a grateful person. Just like his senior brother Li Yun Chuan, who stayed with him through his darkest times and never left him, Zhang Wei, who was now far more popular than Li Yun Chuan, often brought his senior brother to events.
"A kindness of a bowl of rice, repaid with a gushing spring," this was Zhang Wei's principle in life.
On stage, the lights gradually dimmed.
A spotlight shone down.
Then, a black classical piano appeared on the stage.
Zhang Wei took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, and sat down in front of the piano.
As a singer, his piano skills were not as monstrous as Su Yu's, but having been in this industry for so many years, he knew how to play and sing.
He placed the microphone on the stand and slowly closed his eyes.
His fingers pressed the keys and gently struck the notes.
A dull and sad piano melody began.
"Next Year Today"
Performed by: Zhang Wei
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
Zhang Wei's voice was very suitable for singing Eason Chan's songs, and his skills and capabilities were very strong. Su Yu's positioning for him was also Eason Chan. This song, "Next Year Today," as the Cantonese version of "Ten Years," was the most suitable choice for the lead single on Zhang Wei's album.
"If this chandelier were to fall,
Perhaps I would cease to exist.
Even if you don't love me,
We don't need to part..."
Zhang Wei's deep and magnetic voice emerged, sending a shiver through many of his peers present.
This kind of voice was simply born for love songs. Not to mention the imagery in the song, that chest resonance that brought melancholic emotions was a killer for Chinese people who loved love songs!
"If at this moment I were to become severely demented,
I wouldn't need love at all.
Dreaming in bed forever,
I wouldn't be sad for the rest of my life..."
The lyrics were still full of imagery.
That heavy mood, rendered by the piano music, gradually made people feel like they were lying in bed in an empty room,
Staring blankly at the chandelier above.
If the chandelier fell at this moment, would it all be over?
The pain of not being able to move on after a breakup is perhaps only understood by those who have experienced it.
The feeling of helplessness and powerlessness made one want to escape reality. The deep sorrow even made one want to give up everything to alleviate the inner sadness and loneliness.
"One must learn to survive bravely.
I will make new wishes again,
For instance, learning to endure a breakup..."
The pain after a breakup might seem foolish to outsiders, but the person involved knew that some things needed time to heal, and some feelings needed time to settle.
As the accompaniment gradually intensified, the heaviness brought by the piano music and the song's emotion gradually became a little brighter.
One always has to learn to endure. Brief gatherings and partings, or the regrets left by time, are all part of life.
The meaning of growth is to record all those regrets in one's heart. Learning to bear the pain of losing a deeply loved one is a necessary path to growth.
Under the spotlight, Zhang Wei sang passionately while playing.
Side lights illuminated his face, outlining his mature yet slightly weathered features.
His slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and at this moment, they were filled with tears.
As a singer, one needs to experience emotions no less than an actor.
Zhang Wei was a man with a story, but like the song, he had long learned to endure and lick his wounds alone.
"Suddenly, Zhang Wei looks so handsome at this moment. I've never seen such a passionate man!"
"Art truly makes a man attractive!"
"Ting Yu still understands Zhang Wei very well. This song perfectly matches his voice, it's perfect!"
"It's actually a love song, and a love song with a very internal entertainment style!"
"For those who just broke up, I couldn't handle it after just a few lines..."
Songs are the best bridge for conveying emotions.
A singer with good vocal skills can perfectly express the emotions of a song, allowing the audience to resonate with the singing.
And at this moment, Zhang Wei achieved it!
"Next year today,
Don't be insomniac again.
May the mattress have changed.
If we happen to meet,
Perhaps at a friend's wedding feast,
Anxiously awaiting your appearance..."
A passage of lyrics so humble that it choked every audience member!
The heartbreak had reached a point of despair, where one told themselves to pull themselves together, yet still thought about what it would be like to meet again next year.
Even after experiencing the hurried passage of life, even after witnessing the hustle and bustle of the world, seeing that familiar person would inevitably cause some discomfort, unease, and confusion, nervousness, and anticipation.
As the drum beat entered, Zhang Wei picked up the microphone from the stand and sang as he walked to the front of the stage.
The spotlight followed him. He looked directly at the audience, bowed slightly, and sang. His forehead was already sweating from the passionate performance.
However, that deep and magnetic singing voice was like a thorn piercing the audience's hearts.
Even the singers present were moved by his singing, with some even raising their hands to clap along to the rhythm!
