Its difficulty nearly reaches a full five stars because it is originally an English song.
Even if your spoken English is excellent, the flavor brought out in song still won’t match the standard of a native speaker.
This is like a foreigner singing a Chinese song to Chinese listeners—it’s undeniably torture.
Plus, at Tsinghua College, there are quite a few foreigners.
If this song isn’t sung well, it’s absolutely a dealbreaker!
Therefore, even the most talented students of the music institute wouldn’t dare to choose an English song for tonight’s welcoming party.
Moreover, from the very first sentence, Thephoenix is essentially explosive!
The rhythm, it could be said, if sung well, would definitely blow the whole audience away.
But, can this kid in front of us do it?
Not only Meng Xinyu and Zuo Qingluo, even the ever-solemn An Jiu was taken aback.
As a half-Chinese, half-American, she knows all too well what this song represents.
Any performer who can sing this song well is guaranteed to set the audience on fire.
And over the years she has been in Huaxia, she’s never seen anyone dare to attempt such a challenging song!
“Can you sing it well?” An Jiu asked slowly, skepticism creeping onto her frosty face!
Zhang Fan shrugged and chuckled, “Only one way to find out!”
Give it a try?
Meng Xinyu almost bit his tongue.
Dude, you’re telling me to ‘give it a try’ at the welcoming party?
If you mess it up, you’ll be slaughtered by thousands of people!
“Alright, Zhang Fan, you go prepare, and just wing it when the time comes!” said Li Liang, then he walked away.
Meng Xinyu was close to cursing his mother.
For the first act, they’re going to appear onstage with Zhang Fan.
What would the audience think?
They would believe Zhang Fan is one of their music institute’s own.
If Zhang Fan botches it later, the ones getting scolded will be them, the music students!
Damn it, why should they take the fall when Zhang Fan is the one showing off?
He absolutely objects first!
However, with Li Liang having made his point, what could they do?
“Bro, don’t screw it up.
If it’s not going to work out, change the song!” Meng Xinyu said with a bitter tone.
Zhang Fan shook his head, “I’m going to listen to Thephoenix first.”
As he spoke, Zhang Fan also took out his phone, plugged in the earphones, and sat in the corner with his eyes closed, listening.
He was aware of Thephoenix’s difficulty, but how could he live up to his 100,000 Spiritual Value without challenging himself?
And having soared through Faded, why back down now?
Lyrics, to Zhang Fan, are no pressure—he needs to focus on memorizing the whole song’s melody and rhythm by heart.
Ten minutes later, Meng Xinyu walked over, patting Zhang Fan’s shoulder with a look full of worry in his eyes.
Damn, this is Thephoenix we’re talking about!
“Has it started?” Zhang Fan asked!
“Yeah,” Meng Xinyu nodded, twitching his mouth before asking again, “Are you really okay with Thephoenix?”
Zhang Fan nodded, “Should be no problem.”
In over ten minutes, he listened to Thephoenix three times, having mastered the melody and rhythm.
Nothing difficult!
Meng Xinyu’s brows were tightly furrowed, ‘Should be no problem?’ Damn, why does that sound so unnerving!
Immediately, he turned around and said to the guy beating the drum set, “Shen Hang, go call Zhang Xian and the others over.”
“They’re already at the door,” Shen Hang said.
“Then let’s go,” Meng Xinyu said.
At once, Zhang Fan, An Jiu, Zuo Qingluo, and a few others also walked out.
At the door, Zhang Xian and a group of people holding guitars, basses, and other instruments were uncontrollably excited!
However, at this moment, the square was already filled to the brim, with thousands of people clustered together, creating a spectacular buzz.
But their gaze, at times, turned toward the direction of the rehearsal room.
Because An Jiu and Ai Lan, two of the top ten campus beauties, would also make an appearance.
Especially at the thought of Ai Lan’s dance, a group of people were boiling with excitement.
That figure, those dance moves, damn, they were all jack-off material!
However, at this moment, the Face-Slapping Group was also seething with excitement.
“He Yang, why isn’t the video connected yet, damn it, I can’t wait anymore, thinking back to the days, Zhang Fan singing ‘Exaggerate’ had me crying my eyes out.”
“Yeah, yeah, when is Zhang Fan coming on stage!”
“Damn it, He Yang, if you mess this up, I swear I’ll personally go to Tsinghua to chop you up!”
“Hahaha, brothers and sisters, I’m at the scene, hahaha, it’s a good thing I didn’t go back, otherwise, I would’ve missed out big time today.”
At the scene, over a hundred people started waving their silver light sticks.
They were the very bunch that had been squatting at the entrance of Tsinghua since the morning waiting for Zhang Fan.
Originally, they were having a gathering of over a hundred people, but as soon as they heard Zhang Fan was going to perform, they rushed over immediately.
Damn, thank goodness I didn’t go back.
“Damn it, you jerks, how could you be at the site!” a group of people cursed.
“Hehe, have you forgotten?
We were waiting for Zhang Fan this morning!”
Over a hundred people were smug beyond compare!
He Yang stood beside a high platform, fiddling with the camera non-stop.
After a while, he finally opened his laptop and started tapping on the keyboard.
“Yang Haochen, give me the live broadcast account,” He Yang said.
“OK!” Yang Haochen directly gave He Yang the account.
“Hurry up, my big knife is already thirsty for action.”
“Damn it, I’ve been refreshing for ten minutes now, He Yang, are you up to it or not!”
The Face-Slapping Group Headquarters’ QQ chat room had completely exploded, with 99+ replies in an instant!
“OK!” He Yang replied, then pressed the Enter key.
Suddenly, the group of people waiting in the live broadcast room screamed in excitement.
“Impressive, the image quality is so damn clear.”
“Is this Tsinghua?”
“Woah, why is there no one?”
He Yang laughed, what a joke, if he couldn’t manage this gadget, how could he call himself a top Computer Science student.
As he controlled the camera to rotate, the live broadcast room exploded.
“Shit, this many people?”
“It must be over ten thousand, right?”
Seeing the dense crowd, a bunch of guys were stunned.
“Are you kidding, our Tsinghua’s new student welcome event, could it be weak?” He Yang laughed.
But the next moment, screams suddenly erupted.
An Jiu, Zhang Fan, Meng Xinyu, and Zuo Qingluo slowly made their way towards the stage.
By their side, Zhang Xian and a group of others were guarding them like bodyguards.
“An Jiu, An Jiu, An Jiu!”
Tens of thousands of people stood up at the same time, even though they were behind computer screens, the group from the Face-Slapping Group could feel the explosive atmosphere.
He Yang also busily adjusted the camera!
“Woah, Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan!”
“My god, Zhang Fan is the first to go on stage, that’s freaking awesome!”
“Hey, that girl is so beautiful.”
“Shit!
Absolutely gorgeous, and a mixed-race beauty at that.”
“Damn, what the hell are you dumbasses looking at?
We’re here to watch Zhang Fan!” a group of girls immediately scolded.
“Ahem, watch Zhang Fan, sure, but in our spare time, let’s appreciate some beauties, right?”
However, just at that moment, Zhang Xian and his group made their move.
The sound of instruments began to play suddenly.
