Chapter 74 Original Song!
These words were spoken.
The entire room fell silent for a moment.
A song dedicated to all the new students?
The chubby instructor was also taken aback for a moment, then chuckled:
"Oh ho? That's interesting!"
"What's the song title? Who's the original singer? I'll have your instructor next to you find the instrumental version!"
The instructor next to him, who was in charge of playing music, had already taken out his phone, opened the music app, and was hovering his finger over the screen, ready to type.
Jiang Bai calmly uttered seven words:
"My Future Is Not a Dream".
"What? My future isn't a dream?"
The instructor who was playing the music paused for a moment, then his fingers flew across the screen.
search.
Page refreshed.
Sorry, no songs were found related to "My Future Is Not a Dream".
The instructor frowned and searched through several more music apps.
It's all blank.
"Huh? That's strange."
The instructor looked up at Jiang Bai with a puzzled expression:
"Excuse me, are you sure you've got the song title right?"
"I can't find this song anywhere on the internet?"
Jiang Bai smiled slightly.
Without offering any explanation, he simply took out his phone and stepped forward.
"Instructor, we don't need to search anymore."
"This is my original song."
"First release on the entire internet."
"Let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll send you the backing track."
boom!
Although the sentence was not amplified, everyone around could hear it clearly.
The fat instructor's eyes widened instantly, becoming like saucers.
"Holy crap?!"
"Original?!"
He snatched the microphone and shouted to the entire audience:
"Students! Quiet down! All of you, quiet down!"
"Jiang Bai from our Sixth Company is going to sing an original song!"
"I've taught several classes of students, and this is the first time I've encountered someone who dared to sing an original song during military training!"
"Everyone, perk up your ears! Listen carefully!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
The freshmen, who had been whispering among themselves, were instantly stunned.
Original?
These days, anyone who dares to sing original songs in this kind of setting is either a peerless genius or an unparalleled socialite.
Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, and Lin Le looked at each other in bewilderment.
"The third brother... can even write songs?"
"I don't know! I've never heard of it!"
"Regardless of whether it's well-written or not, let's just keep praising it!"
……
In the center of the field.
The accompaniment has been transmitted.
"Are you ready?" the instructor asked.
Jiang Bai nodded.
"music!"
The intro started playing from the speakers.
It was the sound of synthesizer keyboards, both contemporary and powerful.
Ta-da!
With its distinct rhythm and strong sense of cadence, it instantly grabs your attention.
Jiang Bai stood there, holding the microphone.
Take a deep breath.
I'm a little nervous.
I'm really nervous.
This is different from the previous cross-dressing missions.
Whether it was singing "Love You" or acting, the system thoughtfully provided "related experience" or "muscle memory," which was equivalent to having a cheat code.
But this song, "My Future Is Not a Dream," was something I won in a lottery.
There is no experience pack.
There is no muscle memory.
He relied entirely on his own voice and his very basic singing skills to pull it off!
"Don't back down!"
"This is Jiang Bai, and this is the first time I'm standing on this stage as a man!"
"If you mess up, how can you ever be a superstar?"
Jiang Bai's eyes narrowed.
[Beginner Singing Skills] Full Power!
[Heavenly Voice] Full Power On!
[Androgynous] Skill activated!
Although this skill is usually used to imitate a female voice.
But its essence lies in the ultimate control over the vocal cords.
The original singer, Chang Yu-sheng, had a high-pitched, clear, and extremely penetrating voice, which was the legendary "child's voice".
Jiang Bai's original baritone voice, while magnetic, wasn't "bright" enough.
He needs to adjust!
By using skills, fine-tuning the closure of the vocal cords can enhance high-frequency overtones!
Make the voice more energetic and youthful!
The intro has ended.
Jiang Bai raised the microphone.
He opened his mouth, and his voice echoed throughout the entire playground, carrying a sense of heartfelt conversation like that of an old friend having a late-night chat.
"Are you like me bowing my head in the sun...?"
"Working silently and diligently while sweating..."
The sound came out.
The crowd, who had initially been somewhat amused by the spectacle, instantly fell silent.
These lyrics...
That's so fitting for the occasion!
Head bowed under the sun? Sweating profusely?
Isn't this a perfect reflection of their military training these past few days?!
"Are you like me, experiencing indifference...?"
"I won't give up on the life I want..."
On the playground, the freshmen unconsciously held their breath.
"Are you as lost and confused as I once was...?"
"Wandering at the crossroads time and time again..."
Those were the days when I stayed up all night studying to get into university.
Those moments when standing at attention under the scorching sun, wanting to cry but not daring to.
All of this was brought to the fore in these few lines of lyrics.
In the three-company square formation.
A young boy with a buzz cut had tears in his eyes.
His name is Wang Qiang, and he comes from a small county in Northwest China.
To get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy, he repeated his studies for two years, secretly practicing his voice behind his family's back, and was ridiculed by neighbors and looked down upon by relatives.
After arriving in the big city, seeing his glamorous classmates, he felt inferior and lost. He even considered dropping out of school and going home.
"Confused and lost...wandering at the crossroads..."
Wang Qiang muttered to himself, tears streaming down his face.
Isn't this song about him?
These lyrics are so well written.
In the middle of the venue.
Jiang Bai's voice suddenly became stronger, carrying a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.
The power that had been suppressed in his chest began to be released little by little.
"Because I don't care what others say!"
"I have never forgotten myself!"
"A promise to oneself—a steadfast commitment to love!"
The emotions are right!
It's now!
The chorus is coming!
Jiang Bai took a sudden step forward, and with all his might, he shouted into the night sky in a high-pitched voice, enhanced by his skill:
"I know!!!"
"My future is not a dream!!!"
boom!
It was like a bomb detonating in the middle of the playground!
That shout was more than just a song.
It was a bolt of lightning that ripped through the dull night sky, a volcanic eruption that had been suppressed in my chest for a long time!
"I know! My future is not a dream!"
"I live every minute to the fullest!"
The veins on Jiang Bai's neck bulged, and his fingers gripping the microphone turned white from the force.
With the full power of the "Beginner Singing Skills" and the precise fine-tuning of the vocal cord closure by the "Androgynous" skill, Zhang Yusheng's signature clear, high-pitched, and soaring voice miraculously reappeared on this sweltering playground!
High notes, perfect!
Penetrating power is strong!
There was no sense of disharmony, only a strong youthful spirit and an indomitable cry.
boom--!
That shout sent a chill down the spines of the thousands of freshmen who had initially just been watching the spectacle. They felt as if an electric current had run through their scalps.
I got goosebumps all over my body instantly!
"My future is not a dream!"
My heart beats with hope!
Jiang Bai closed his eyes, sweat dripping down his strong jawline and onto the grass.
He recalled the confusion he felt upon arriving in this unfamiliar world, and the shame and helplessness of being forced to cross-dress.
All emotions are released at this moment through this inspirational song!
This is a man's song!
This is what Jiang Bai truly looks like when he sings!
