Wang Shu continued to sing, and the audience listened attentively.
"I think this song is the best performance of the day!"
"This is true original work, comparable to many masters!"
"If all original works can match the quality of this song, then the Long Country music scene will be in a golden age!"
At this moment, the eight professional judges on the spot also began to discuss.
As established singers in the music industry for many years, they could find no obvious flaws in this song, whether it was in the lyrics, composition, or vocal performance.
It could be said that this song was basically flawless.
"Do any of you know this singer's true identity?"
"I don't know, I've searched my mind several times!"
"I'm also wondering, there shouldn't be many singers in the industry with such vocal skills and creative ability, but I really have no impression!"
The eight judges in the hall also became curious about Wang Shu's identity.
Because they had searched their minds many times, but none of them matched the person on stage.
"They say to quit your arrogance
Like wiping away dirt
They say to climb the stairs
And the price is to bow your head
Then let me not ride the wind
You are as proud of that lonely courage
Who says those who play an ordinary game are not heroes"
Sentences full of power echoed through the entire broadcast hall. The audience's eyes were filled with tears, and their expressions were serious.
One middle-aged man with a crew cut, sunglasses, and a straight posture had tears in his eyes behind his sunglasses.
As the saying goes, a man doesn't shed tears easily, unless he is deeply hurt.
As a soldier, he had served in the military for thirty years.
Although he was now a commander of high rank,
Today, when he heard this song, he couldn't help but recall the past.
He had also been stationed with his comrades in desolate regions for several years, and he had also been surrounded and faced despair.
But it was in such despair that they fought their way out and moved towards rebirth!
However, after many years, those former comrades had all passed away.
Some died on the front lines of anti-drug operations, and some disappeared in desolate regions.
Their fates were unknown, and their deeds were unseen.
But they were still the lonely heroes in the darkness, the heroes of the people!
"Communicate with the production team, I want to see this singer!"
The man in sunglasses said to a young man with a similar haircut beside him.
"Understood!"
After the man replied decisively, he directly left his seat in the audience and headed for the show's office.
"What? The commander wants to see him?"
In the show's office, the man with the crew cut, after stating his identity, conveyed the commander's wishes.
Zhou Tao, the chief director of the show, was also surprised that his program had such an important guest.
He couldn't help but show respect, but he was surprised that this important figure wanted to see Wang Shu.
"Sir, I will arrange it as soon as possible. Please wait in my office!"
Gong Tao quickly agreed.
"This matter must be kept confidential!"
The young man with the crew cut emphasized with a solemn expression, then turned back to report to the commander.
In the control room, Gong Tao couldn't help but wonder if Wang Shu had done something to alarm such an important figure!
"Do you want to go with the most humble dream?
Fight, fight with the most arrogant dream?
To the sobs and roars in the dark night
Who says only those standing in the light are heroes?"
On stage, Wang Shu poured all his energy into interpreting this song.
Only after the last line ended did he take a deep breath.
"This song is dedicated to everyone who works hard. You are all lonely heroes!"
After the song ended, Wang Shu picked up the microphone and said to the audience.
"He's so good, he's going to make us cry! This song is simply too good!"
"To be able to write a song of this level, I think it's already legendary!"
"Everyone is a lonely hero! That was so well said!"
The audience members present also wiped away their tears at this moment.
Their spirits were also uplifted.
Everyone is a lonely hero in life.
After the performance, today's competition officially concluded.
Following that, the three contestants advancing to the next round were announced.
They were Qi Tian Da Sheng, Mi Lu Xiao Jing Ling, and Yang Tuo.
The other three singers would have to compete again for a spot in the next round.
This naturally included Wang Shu's opponent for the day, Zhang Liangying.
"Although I lost to you, I am convinced. Your song is very well written and sung!"
As they walked backstage, Zhang Liangying smiled at Wang Shu and said.
"You are also good, it's just a pity you were in my group!"
Wang Shu glanced at the plump beauty in front of him and said directly.
In his opinion, Zhang Liangying's performance today could have ranked among the top, but unfortunately,
The rule of the show was that contestants were paired up and competed against each other, so Zhang Liangying could not advance.
"Don't worry, I'll see you in the semifinals!"
Zhang Liangying said confidently.
She was convinced she lost to Wang Shu, but that didn't mean she was inferior to others.
"Qi Tian Da Sheng, come to the director's office!"
Suddenly, Gong Tao's voice came from Wang Shu's earpiece.
The other singers also looked at Wang Shu with confusion.
However, Wang Shu still headed to the director's office.
"Director, what do you need me for?"
When Gong Tao reached the office door, Wang Shu was already standing there and asked directly.
"Cough cough, it's not me looking for you, it's the commander inside looking for you!"
Gong Tao coughed awkwardly and reminded Wang Shu.
Wang Shu couldn't help but glance inside the office.
Indeed, he saw two men with crew cuts and sharp eyes. They looked like they had military backgrounds, because they had a certain aura similar to the retired soldiers in his crew!
"Hello, commander, is there anything you need me for?"
Wang Shu walked into the office and said to the older man sitting there.
"Are you planning to talk to me with a mask on?"
He Guang couldn't help but smile slightly and said to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu then realized he had forgotten to remove his mask, and quickly took it off.
"I didn't expect you to be so young, about twenty years old this year?"
When Wang Shu removed his mask, He Guang couldn't help but marvel at how young the singer was.
"21!"
Wang Shu replied.
"Your song is very well written!"
He Guang continued.
"Thank you for the compliment, commander. Which song are you referring to?"
Wang Shu looked confused, not knowing which song the other person was talking about.
"Do you have many songs?"
"Yes!"
He Guang was surprised by Wang Shu's answer.
"I'm talking about the song 'Lone Warrior' you just sang. I want to use it as our recruitment propaganda song!"
He Guang directly stated his intention.
"It's a great honor!"
After hearing the other party's words, Wang Shu finally understood the commander's intention.
"I also want to invite you as the singer of this song! But we need to strictly review your past records! Are you willing?"
He Guang continued.
This was a necessary procedure. If Wang Shu had a bad record, using his song as propaganda would harm the reputation of the military!
"No problem!"
Wang Shu replied with a smile. After all, he hadn't done anything illegal since transmigrating to this world.
He had only been treated to a foot wash by a friend, but foot washing wasn't illegal, was it?
Wang Shu quickly recalled his past and confirmed that he had not committed any illegal acts.
"Okay, the director has already given me your contact information. I will contact you for specific details later. I look forward to our cooperation!"
He Guang then got up and left the director's office.
"Wang Shu, you're amazing, the official wants your song!"
After He Guang left, Gong Tao patted Wang Shu's shoulder excitedly.
It was known that many artists nowadays wanted to cooperate with official bodies, which not only elevated their status but also allowed them to connect with high-level figures.
However, official bodies were very picky about the artists they collaborated with, and without good work, they would essentially ignore you.
This was a collaboration opportunity that many big stars couldn't even beg for, but Wang Shu had managed to get it today.
"It's mainly thanks to Director Gong's opportunity, but I need to discuss something with you!"
Wang Shu suddenly remembered that the singers on stage today had sung his songs without paying royalties.
"What is it?"
Gong Tao looked confused, not knowing what idea Wang Shu had come up with.
"Those two people on stage today sang my songs. Can you settle the royalties?"
Wang Shu said to Gong Tao with a smile.
"You're really greedy for money. I'll pay for it. If anyone else sings it later, I'll pay for it too!"
Gong Tao shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Wang Shu, the money grubber, never missed an opportunity to make money.
Having achieved his goal, Wang Shu left contentedly.
He returned to the hotel accompanied by Xiao Su.
"Boss, I feel like your song today is going to be a hit again!"
At the hotel, Xiao Su said to Wang Shu excitedly.
"Be confident, remove 'I feel'!"
Wang Shu said directly.
"Boss, aren't you too confident? What if it doesn't become a hit?"
Xiao Su teased.
She noticed that Wang Shu had become increasingly confident lately.
He was different from when he first participated in the program at Xiangnan TV.
"Xiao Su, of all the songs I've sung, and written, which one hasn't been a hit?"
Wang Shu said to his assistant.
Xiao Su couldn't help but recall carefully. Although her boss had only sung a few songs, it seemed that every single one of them had become a sensational hit.
It was just that Wang Shu hadn't signed with a record label or had legitimate audio sources on music platforms, so the subsequent popularity of the songs hadn't kept up.
Seeing his assistant recalling diligently, Wang Shu got up and sat in front of the computer, continuing to busy himself with his side business.
