Chapter 55

~6 min read 1,068 words

The violin could still be heard, as if weeping, as if pleading, then teasing once more.

Why is only a crescent moon left, remaining in my sky?

From tonight on, all contact will be severed."

The young girl’s voice was unique and ethereal, filled with rich emotion.

It was just like a drifting, celestial sound falling from the clouds of the night.

At the same time.

She had also made significant progress in her singing technique.

Already at a Level 4 professional standard, it allowed her to handle the vast majority of songs with ease, no longer having the minor flaws in pitch transitions or insufficient breath control as she had before.

And at this moment.

Outside the screens of the livestream, the friends listening to the song all wore expressions of surprise, delight, and astonishment.

"Cantonese?"

"You Mingyue's new song is actually a Cantonese song?"

In the current music scene, it had been a long time since a new Cantonese song had appeared.

Is the audience for Cantonese songs broad?

The answer is yes!

Just like in the previous life of the Middle Kingdom, twenty or thirty years ago, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry also developed rapidly, having its own golden age with a galaxy of stars.

Countless people of the older generation grew up listening to Cantonese songs and watching Xiangjiang movies.

And now, many of the new generation, influenced by their older parents, do not reject Cantonese songs and Xiangjiang movies; on the contrary, many of them love them very much.

It is just that with the decline of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, many Xiangjiang entertainers have come to the mainland to make a living, and it has become difficult for Xiangjiang to produce good Cantonese songs and movies.

It must be said, this is a regret.

To this day, it has been many years since a new Cantonese song appeared in the world.

Therefore, this song made the audience feel pleasantly surprised and astonished; the song awakened their memories.

……

The singing echoed in the room; the sorrowful violin, the melodious piano, paired with Xu Mingyue’s soft and beautiful voice, created a unique effect.

At the same time.

The secret room, which the young girl had transformed into something like a KTV room, also had special effects.

Colored lights flickered in the room, just like the stars filling the night sky, dreamlike and illusory, and the bright moon in the song was the young girl herself—she was as her name suggested.

Xu Mingyue, full of deep affection, continued to sing:

"People are like the bright moon in the sky, impossible to possess.

Love is like a song that has passed, leaving only remnants, unable to be saved, then parting.

Why is there only disappointment, filling my emptiness?

This night, there was no kiss goodbye..."

Beautiful lyrics, beautiful music, beautiful melody, a stunning young girl, dreamlike lighting... plus the talent for empathy.

At this moment.

Countless viewers had an immersive experience.

They were intoxicated by the audiovisual feast.

And among them, the viewers from Yue Province had the best experience.

Cantonese—people from other parts of the Huaxia nation might not understand it, but they had no problem at all.

"So good!"

"It's been many years since I heard such a good Cantonese song."

"My DNA is moving."

"The little sister, the Poison Queen, sings with such flavor."

"Indeed, the pronunciation is very standard, and the emotion is very full."

"Actually, the little sister is full of flavor all over."

"You're acting suspicious."

"Ahhhhh, the singing is killing me, help."

"..."

And in the livestream, there was no lack of professional music personnel or staff from entertainment companies.

At this instant.

They almost all frowned at the same time.

It wasn't that the song wasn't good.

It was that the song was too excellent.

Some songs, you don't like them the first time you hear them, and you still don't like them the next time.

Some songs, you don't like them the first time, but the more you hear them, the better they get.

And some songs, you are amazed the first time, and they become classics the next.

"Serenade of the Half Moon" was the latter type.

They had only heard half the song, yet they already felt it was a classic.

"Su Xue, it's difficult again..." a staff member from Rolling Stone Entertainment gave a bitter smile.

It’s not that our side lacks strength, it’s just that these twins are too monstrous!

A classic-level new Cantonese song—it’s been many years, and no one in the music scene has written one, yet these twins have written it. Who can you reason with about this?

And it happened to be Su Xue who ran into them again and again.

One can only say... this is fate.

In fact.

The song "Serenade of the Half Moon" is truly a classic.

Just like Cantonese songs such as "Like You," "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," "Thousands of Songs," and "Glorious Years."

From the golden age of the Xiangjiang music scene, it has remained popular all the way to the present.

Classics never go out of style.

At this moment.

Amidst the piano accompaniment, Lady Jiang Yu suddenly raised the pitch.

"Still speaking of forever, never thought it was just an excuse.

Never realized we were about to break up."

The violin, piano, and orchestral harmonies erupted all at once here.

The climax, the chorus of the song, had arrived.

"When my heart, every minute and every second, is still occupied by her.

She is like this moon, still not opening her mouth.

The violin plays a solo, playing as the bright moon leans halfway into deep autumn.

My longing, my desire.

Until the future..."

The notes in the climax are not particularly high.

A young girl can handle them with ease.

Here.

There are actually two ways to sing it.

One is to sing with high notes, which makes the whole song feel very fiery, explosive, and high-energy, leaving the listener with a sense of catharsis.

The other is the original version's style.

The young girl chose the original; while the high notes are explosive, they would affect the emotion of the entire song, and the mood would not be as full as the original.

Furthermore.

This is inherently a quiet and soulful song that leaves one feeling very melancholic after listening.

Singing it with high notes would just seem strange.
