After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

"Bright Star" is the latest talent show launched by Xingrui Entertainment.

Most of the participants in the program are trainees from Xingrui Entertainment, and amateurs who were invited or passed the "preliminary audition".

They can sing and dance on the stage, perform musical instruments, and even do acrobatics and magic tricks.

After the performance, judges in various fields will give scores, and the audience will vote to decide whether the contestants stay or go.

To put it simply, it is a program for Xingrui to select artists, and by the way, use this program to make one or two newcomers famous.

Chu Kong was specially arranged by the company as a pop music judge in order to attract more audiences.

The show officially begins at 8 o'clock on Saturday night.

After the host came on stage, the other judges' performances were all very exciting.

The director team breathed a sigh of relief backstage as they watched the real-time ratings soar.

Chu Kong came out of the lounge and kept greeting his seniors who were going backstage to change clothes.

When he reached the stage entrance, he turned around and whispered:

"I always feel like those people are looking at me in a weird way. Am I wearing too plain clothes today?"

"You think too much!"

Those people were not just looking at Chu Kong's simple attire; they were clearly trying to find trouble with him.

Only a fool like Chu Kong couldn't see that, and still greeted him so enthusiastically.

Chu Yue patted him on the back of the head unceremoniously, reminding Chu Kong to go on stage.

At this time, all the extra lights on the stage dimmed, leaving only a spotlight shining on Chu Kong's figure holding the microphone.

He was dressed very casually today, and indeed looked simple compared to his previous gorgeous and varied looks on stage.

The big screen behind him showed the new song he was going to sing:

"Sorrow"

Lyrics: Zigui (Mao Buyi)

Song: Zigui (Mao Buyi)

Singer: Chu Kong (Mao Buyi)

The songwriter of the song is very popular in itself.

Most of the people who were watching the show and discussing Chu Kong's clothes shifted their attention to the songs.

The sound of the accordion carries a hint of sadness.

The prelude is quiet and distant.

'When you walk into this happy place'

'Carrying all the dreams and thoughts on my back'

As soon as Chu Kong opened his mouth, he instantly amazed everyone.

Even his fans have never heard such a deep and magnetic voice.

'All kinds of faces/makeup'

'No one remembers what you look like'

Chu Kong lowered his head and put aside the unnecessary thoughts in his mind one by one.

'After three rounds of drinking/You are in the corner'

'Singing stubbornly/a bitter song'

The deep and powerful voice seems to be telling a story.

The unhurried melody is like an old gramophone placed in the corner on a quiet afternoon.

'Listen to him being drowned in the noise'

'You pick up your glass and say to yourself'

Chu Kong's voice became gentler.

Not to mention his fans, even passers-by will be attracted by his singing.

'A toast to the morning sun/A toast to the moonlight'

'Awaken my longing/soften the cold window'

'So I can fly against the wind without looking back'

'Not afraid of rain in the heart/frost in the eyes'

The melody of the chorus is still simple.

If we only look at the structure of the music, this song undoubtedly does not have much technical content, and will not be popular among people who pay attention to this aspect.

But with the lyrics and the singer's affectionate performance, this song will undoubtedly resonate with the audience.

'A toast to my hometown/A toast to the distant place'

'Guarding my kindness/urging me to grow'

'So the road from north to south is no longer long'

'The soul no longer has nowhere to go'

The whistling sound during the interlude adds just the right amount of spice.

Casual, relaxed, and with a touch of warmth.

'A toast to tomorrow/A toast to the past'

'Supporting my body/heavy shoulders'

'Although I never believe in the saying that mountains are high and rivers are long'

'Life is short, why bother to think about it'

When Chu Kong sang to this point, the camera quietly moved to the host.

There was a glimmer in the host's beautiful eyes, and tears seemed about to fall at any moment.

This is the most real reaction of the people who listen to the song.

Chen Yulin, who was watching TV with his family, also heard this song by chance. In the end, he couldn't help taking a photo and posting it on Weibo.

[Chen Yulin V: @Zigui, those who know you know that you are a lyricist, and those who don’t know you think you are a poet]

The accompanying picture was a scene of Chu Kong singing on TV in the living room.

With Chen Yulin’s emergence, there is no need to worry about the popularity of the new songs and programs.

'One to freedom/One to death'

'Forgive my ordinariness/dispel the confusion'

'Well, after dawn, I always leave in a hurry'

'Sober people are the most absurd'

Chu Kong closed his eyes, and the last song seemed to be a relief, but also seemed to be self-mocking.

When the last word of the song fell, the few audience members at the scene applauded.

The host, moved by the singing, came forward with slightly red eyes.

"Writing about life with wine, Mr. Zigui's lyrics are very touching. Of course, our Chu Kong's interpretation is also great. If you were a contestant, I would definitely vote for you without hesitation. It's a pity that you are a judge."

Chu Kong smiled suddenly, feeling a little embarrassed.

The show continued, but Chu Kong's performance caused quite a stir online because of Chen Yulin's Weibo post and several recommendation posts on the music forum.

Judging from the composition of this new song, whether it is the accordion, guitar or drums, it actually sounds quite relaxing and comfortable.

With the lyrics, there is a bit more sadness and bitterness.

The lyrics are the soul of this song.

Eight glasses of wine, a toast to a lifetime.

The song is titled "Xiaochou", but there is not a single word "sorrow" in the lyrics.

Based on the lyrics alone, it is impossible for this song to rank low on the New Songs Chart.

Due to the merger of the two continents’ Weibo, it is much more difficult to get on the Weibo hot search list than before.

Under such circumstances, Chu Kong Xiao Chou still ranked third on the hot search list that night.

The second day of the broadcast of "Bright Star".

First, an A-level singer from Wansheng Media found that he could no longer maintain his tenth position on the list and dropped directly to eleventh place.

Then several singers from Blueprint were informed of the ranking changes one after another.

Tangxing Entertainment, which appeared on the list like a flash, appeared again in the eyes of peers from the two major companies. Until then, they really took a serious look at Zigui, the "genius songwriter".

But they still didn't take it too seriously.

"Since Dongzhou said he was a genius, he must be quite capable. It's not surprising that he's in the top ten of the list."

"Yeah, but the number one on the list is our brother Sen, don't worry."

"Then guess what rank will Zigui's song get in the end?"

"Number seven."

"I guess fifth."

Before the group finished speaking, the ranking list that was changing in real time on the conference room screen changed again.

"Xiaochou" jumped directly from ninth to seventh.

Everyone in the Blueprint Music Department looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

However, they didn't expect that the song would have such great potential.

The day after they had a meeting to discuss it.

"Xiaochou" ranked fifth.

Then two days later:

New Song List 01: "Xiaochou", with a total download volume of 5000 million.

The rocket-like speed of climbing the charts once made people in South China feel like they were having a heart attack.

The musicians in Nanzhou finally understood how everyone in the Dongzhou music circle felt when Zigui first debuted.
