Chapter 1242: Chapter 1046: Bring in the Wine Chapter 1242: Chapter 1046: Bring in the Wine On stage.

Xia Fan bows and exits.

The applause from the audience below is enthusiastic.

“It feels a bit bitter in my heart.”

“I initially thought it was about a mentor-student romance, turns out it’s about farewell.”

“Suddenly reminded me of a time I played a game, took in a newbie disciple just like this, his heart was all about leveling and slaying monsters, but I was just enjoying the scenery in the game, then I couldn’t beat him anymore, he went on to mentor someone else.”

“I feel this plot really fits some martial arts games.”

“You can see it as a master taking in a newbie player, later the disciple learned everything and didn’t need the master anymore, their contact gradually lessened, the master eventually quit the game, the disciple grew up and started taking disciples, remembered the master who had always followed him, but couldn’t find him anymore.”

“Kind of tear-inducing.”

“It’s clearly not a romance plot, yet it still feels heart-wrenching.”

“I wonder how good Xian Yu is at playing games; with his genius, even games must be easy for him.”

“I don’t play games, but that doesn’t stop me from liking this song.”

…

Zhong Continent.

“Darn it!”

“Looks like he hasn’t been completely squeezed out yet!”

“Xia Fan, give it your all, completely drain him!”

“I kind of feel Xian Yu is a bit drained, this song with effects and plot, shows he doesn’t have many tricks left.”

“Previously opera performer also used this tactic, combining song with plot, enhancing the immersion.”

“This story is too distressing.”

“My eyes are too shallow, almost teary.”

At this point.

The male commentator suddenly said, “The lyrics of this song are a bit sloppy.”

“Indeed!”

The female commentator nodded: “Without the plot, the lyrics really are plain, are they just written to fill in the plot?”

“Strictly speaking, this song is weaker than his previous works, but the emotional storyline compensates for these weaknesses, and Xia Fan indeed sings it superbly. Apart from Wei Haoyun, other female singers in Yu Dynasty are not to be underestimated, but this also just proves my judgment was correct!”

The male commentator said seriously: “Xian Yu doesn’t have many songs left!”

The live room immediately erupted in noise!

They were all waiting for Xian Yu to run out of songs!

Zhong Continent continuously losing to Xian Yu made everyone hardly expect a direct revenge, rather hoping he would be drained by the competition!

…

Discussion continues among various continents.

The first round is still ongoing.

Eight contestants advanced, Xia Fan ranked fourth.

Advancing was successful, but compared to Xian Yu’s previous scores, Snowy Brow was indeed a bit weak.

“This round isn’t very stable.”

Lu Sheng suddenly said with a smile.

Lin Yuan nodded: “It’s a bit risky, but the experiment was quite successful.”

“What experiment?”

Yin Dong beside was stunned.

Playing music experiments in Blue Songlympics?

Though the core coaching team can know all the entries in advance, given the number of projects, it’s impossible to pay attention to every detail.

“Just keep watching.”

Lu Sheng knew the inside story, his smile rather meaningful.

Yin Dong pouted, feeling completely unworried inside.

In the classical music contest, other Maestros from Qin Continent had no ideas, leaving everything to Xian Yu to handle, it was almost a sure win already.

Why?

Because Xian Yu, as long as he is willing to bring out classical style songs, can totally dominate.

…

Soon after.

The second round begins.

This time Xia Fan drew the number six card.

Stepping onto the stage again, Xia Fan took a deep breath, then nodded gently towards the staff.

The next moment.

Song information appeared on the big screen.

Title: To the Tune of Intoxication

Lyrics: Xian Yu

Composer: Xian Yu

Performer: Xia Fan

Actually, this song was intended for Wei Haoyun.

Wei Haoyun did not participate in the ancient-style song competition, proactively telling Lin Yuan that lets Xia Fan sing this one:

“You winning would be the same as me winning.”

Lin Yuan had no objection, and Xia Fan was also singing the song carrying Wei Haoyun’s expectations.

As for the ancient-style competition.

Who says it must be classical style?

This song is certainly a knockout!

Exhale the first word, and it’s half of the glorious Tang Dynasty!

What other songs in the world are more ancient-style than this?

Middle State live room.

The male commentator opened with, “Is ‘Song of the Wind’ a type of lyric meter name?”

The female commentator nodded, “First of all, the word ‘Jiang’ in this context should be pronounced as ‘Qiang’, not ‘Jiang’. Secondly, this isn’t a lyric meter name, but a melody from the Han Music Bureau’s short flute and cymbals.”

The male commentator: “…”

He felt illiterate.

Today, this profound and artistic female commentator continued:

“I wonder if the lyrics can live up to this song title. I’m not disparaging the opponent, but honestly, the lyrics of ‘Snowy Brow’ just now were completely unimpressive to me. If it weren’t for the plot integration, they would seem even worse.”

Actually, the female commentator was also puzzled.

She had heard someone mention that Xian Yu’s lyrics were very well written.

But from watching these competitions, she really didn’t think Xian Yu’s lyrics were that good.

At this time, Middle State did not yet join the merge.

Middle State people of course did not know about Xian Yu’s creation of ‘Song of the Wind’, nor had they seen the original.

In fact.

Even after merging, not everyone from each continent had read ‘Song of the Wind’.

Singing this song on the Blue Songlympics stage has an invisible advantage as it could help promote Xian Yu’s poetry.

“The commentators got owned again.”

“Xian Yu isn’t balding at all.”

“There he goes with another ancient-style song!”

“But it’s a fact that ‘Snowy Brow’ got lower scores than Xian Yu’s previous songs. I think the commentators weren’t completely owned, Xian Yu really is starting to wear down.”

“It’s mainly because the lyrics are mediocre.”

“This Xian Yu from Qin Continent seems to really enjoy writing both lyrics and music, composing is beyond reproach, but the lyrics indeed are quite ordinary, including the one he previously wrote ‘Sunny Day’, I feel the lyrics aren’t good enough.”

“And that ‘Song of the Wind’, the lyrics are so-so, mainly good because of the melody itself.”

“Many composers like to do this, including some Maestros from our Middle State; they also like to play like this, having to write lyrics for their own compositions, as if no lyricist understands like they do. Actually, it’s not necessary; lyric writing and composing are different things.”

If people from other continents knew that Middle State people were questioning Xian Yu’s lyrics, they would probably laugh out loud.

It has that “piling up fancy words as Li Qingzhao” feel.

Too strong a flavor.

This is a gap in information.

In fact.

When the song title appeared, aside from the clueless Middle State, live rooms from every continent exploded!

Clearly.

Many people knew ‘Song of the Wind’!

Even many commentators couldn’t help themselves; their expressions changed and they blurted out “Don’t you see”.

Qin Continent live room.

Numerous netizens were even more ecstatic:

“Song of the Wind!?”

“Isn’t that the lyrics previously written by Xian Yu!”

“That’s from Han Music Bureau, but you’re right, it’s that song, Xian Yu turned ‘Song of the Wind’ into a song?”

“These lyrics are simply awesome!”

“I rank it alongside ‘May all happiness belong to us.'”

“Didn’t think this could also be written into a song!”

“Can Fish Papa’s melody capture that kind of feeling?”

“The original lyrics are indeed very bold!”

“Looking forward!”

“If this can be written, then it’s the greatest ancient-style ever!”

“By the way, Middle State probably still doesn’t know about Fish Papa’s poetic talent since they haven’t joined the merge?”

Eh?

Seems like it, really?

People couldn’t help but recall the first time they heard ‘Song of the Wind’, their expressions turning peculiar—

Face the gale!
