When only Su Yu remained on stage, a pure white grand piano slowly rose in front of him.
Su Yu, dressed in a black suit, sat down at the piano, and the moment he did, the audience instantly quieted down.
This was a sign of their cultivation, and also their respect for Su Yu, the Blue Star music scene's top lyricist, composer, and musician.
Moreover, they didn't want to miss Su Yu's first French work!
In their opinion, the significance of this moment was truly profound.
Su Yu's fingers began to dance and fly across the piano, and a romantic and warm melody instantly reached the hearts of everyone present.
For those who didn't understand music, the first impression was simply beauty!
The prelude melody of this song was truly too beautiful.
However, for lyricists and musicians, they felt that this prelude alone could be released as a pure instrumental piano piece.
There was no other way; Su Yu's achievements in pure music were also top-tier among the lyricists and composers present.
Many of Su Yu's pure music works were their favorites.
Ivan from Russia, Fischer from Germany, and Lucia from Spain all showed intoxicated expressions at this moment.
It was clear that the piece Su Yu was playing was more capable of moving a woman's heart.
What surprised everyone was that the prelude to this song was genuinely a bit long, having unknowingly passed over a minute.
Just as they were guessing when Su Yu would begin to sing, a spotlight fell on another part of the stage, and Han Jiangxue appeared, dressed in a dark red rose cheongsam and styled in a Republican era fashion.
Her appearance stunned both the live audience and netizens from various countries.
Compared to Bi Huo, who was only highly known within China in the previous season, Han Jiangxue's international recognition was clearly higher!
One reason was the song "Free Loop" that Han Jiangxue sang in the previous season; even now, this song is still on the hot song charts in various countries.
Another reason was her identity as Su Yu's official girlfriend, which was even more terrifying.
Heaven knows how many people, both domestically and internationally, envied this identity and secretly hoped the two would break up, so they could have an opportunity.
However, Su Yu truly left no opportunities for the enchanting women outside when it came to relationships.
"Han Jiangxue! I'm going crazy! Is there really such an easter egg?!"
"Su Yu, that old scoundrel, is indeed biased! When it was Xue Qing and Bi Huo, he didn't go on stage to play the piano, but now that his girlfriend is here, he's more real than anyone!"
"Holy cow, Su Shen probably only knows how to play the piano; a duet is probably out of the question!"
"Jiangxue Goddess! I finally waited for you, good thing I didn't give up!"
...
Just as domestic netizens were frantically sending barrages of comments, and foreign netizens were expressing endless envy.
"Des yeux qui font baisser les miens, Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche..."
Amidst Han Jiangxue's warm and tranquil singing, the song's information finally appeared on the big screen.
"La vie en rose" (Life in Pink)
Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement: Su Yu
Vocals: Han Jiangxue
The song "La vie en rose" is a song with a considerable sense of history, having been released in 1947.
It is an extremely classic French chanson.
This song even appeared on China's Spring Festival Gala stage, performed at the time by French national treasure actor Sophie Marceau and Huan Ge.
Of course, the version Su Yu presented was not the original, but a brand new version that Su Yu himself adapted from many covers.
However, Su Yu did not change the pure piano accompaniment; instead, he embellished it based on the original version.
Regardless, the moment Su Yu playing the piano and Han Jiangxue singing appeared on stage together, they had already completely won.
For the French audience present, this French chanson truly demonstrated Su Yu's sincerity.
And isn't this sweet yet intense love, which gives endless hope and imagination, also very romantic?
This beautiful "La vie en rose" finally ended amidst countless people's reluctance.
No one doubted the possibility that this "La vie en rose" would become an extremely classic French song.
The applause continued even after Su Yu and Han Jiangxue left the stage hand in hand, which made Ida Shoichiro, who was preparing to go on stage second, even more helpless.
As for nervousness?
Perhaps because the song was too soothing and romantic, his anxious heart, on the contrary, was very calm.
Good music truly has such magic; it can genuinely soothe the soul.
Backstage, Su Yu did not let Han Jiangxue leave but kept her directly in his dressing room.
This made the female lyricists and composers from several countries who wanted to talk to Su Yu about music and life a bit hesitant to approach.
If they were to compare musical and lyrical talent, they could certainly overwhelm Han Jiangxue, the singer.
But if they were to compare looks, figure, and temperament, Han Jiangxue truly surpassed them by a long shot.
Moreover, Su Yu didn't even care for their proud lyrical and compositional talents!
One could only say that when discussing professional music knowledge, there was more to talk about?
But Su Yu's achievements were not only outstanding in music; he also dabbled in film, calligraphy and painting, and poetry, with an incredibly wide range of interests.
On stage, the works of various lyricists and composers were successively performed.
At the beginning of this session, the tension was greatly reduced due to Su Yu.
However, when their respective works truly took the stage, the sense of silent confrontation could not be hidden at all.
Now that the regular season has entered its later stages, it's impossible not to show some real skill if they don't want their overall scores to look too bad.
Moreover, these first batch of debuting lyricists and composers, after a period of rest and accumulation, have also gathered some high-level works.
But Ida Shoichiro, who had played several consecutive matches, was starting to feel the strain.
Coupled with his negative buff from today's death slot, his performance was truly underwhelming.
Chris from the US also had a bit of a king's return aura this time; Su Yu felt he would be the strongest contender for second place in Episode 16.
Then there were Ivan and Lucia; the strength of these two female lyricists and composers also should not be underestimated.
Of course, who can break through in the end will depend on the preferences and choices of fans from various countries.
The final segment was naturally the drawing for the host venue of Episode 17.
Now only four home venues remained: China, the US, Germany, and Italy. Su Yu, who drew first, finally wasn't unlucky this time and directly hit a red ball on his first try.
Episode 17 of the Blue Star Concert will also be held at China's home venue!
Upon hearing this, Chinese audiences and netizens felt a bit teary-eyed.
Su Yu's 'little unlucky hand' was famous; he was almost never lucky.
However, with a 25% chance, Su Yu wasn't that lucky either.
Just as Su Yu, Han Jiangxue, and their group were preparing to leave France, an unexpected group of people were approached by the French organizers.
This caused Su Yu's return plan to be delayed.
