Chapter 233 "I Am Ugly, but I Am Gentle"
Kevin Shen has been away from the stage for a long time. He has disappeared from the public eye since the last time he sang "The Unknown Man" with Yu Zhou.
He only returned to the public eye when he announced to join Fanxing a few days ago. Fans are waiting for him to bring new songs.
Who would have thought that he would appear directly on the stage of "The Voice of China".
"Didn't he make his debut? Why did he come up and sing?"
The audience was talking a lot.
"She should be a guest, come and try out the mentor's qualities."
Someone soon realized that this was the program team working on it again.
Seeing Kevin Shen standing on the stage, the audience felt itchy.
From God's perspective, everyone can't wait to see the reactions of the mentors.
The audience has long known that Kevin Shen's singing skills are very good, and many people present are his fans, so everyone is looking forward to it.
The music sounded, and Kevin Shen took the microphone and sang: "Every night,
In the wilderness of dreams,
I am a proud giant. "
Kevin Shen's high-pitched, husky voice immediately attracted the audience's attention.
The camera went to the instructor's seat, and the four people were listening attentively.
Zhao Lei closed his eyes and his expression was full of intoxication. It was obvious that he liked this song very much.
He Xiuyuan still had his trademark frown, resting his chin on one hand and listening carefully.
Lin Wanqing was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Shen Ruman nodded along with the rhythm.
"In the concrete jungle,
In the life of calling back and forth,
Calculating the gap between dreams and reality..."
These few sentences gave the audience a sense of immersion. Who doesn’t live in a steel jungle and is called around every day?
The boss yells at me, the customers criticize me, and my daily life is both humble and bitter.
This is the vivid inner monologue of a little man who works hard to survive all day long in the rolling world, but refuses to give up his dream.
Zhao Lei put his hand on the button but did not press it.
On the stage, Shen Kaiwen sang passionately:
"I'm really ugly,
But I am very gentle,
cold appearance,
Enthusiastic inside,
that's me.
I'm really ugly,
But I have music and beer,
A little humble,
A little cowardly,
But never back down. "
Kevin Shen's singing here is extremely real.
This song is like a true portrayal of him. Since his debut, he has missed countless opportunities because of his appearance. He has never been favored despite his ability.
Because he was promised to be chosen, he finally became a serf and began to sing.
However, even after he became popular, rumors about his appearance attacked him all the time.
Who can care less about looks? No matter how open-minded Shen Kaiwen is, sometimes he can't turn around.
If he had such handsome and unrestrained looks as promised, he might be the King of Heaven by now.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he looked like Yu Zhou, he would never be what he is now.
He also thought about whether to have a full face or something, but then he thought about it and decided not to. In fact, it was not up to him to decide whether to be ugly or not. He was destined to look like this when he was born, so he had nothing to complain about.
What's more, there are already voices on the Internet: "Although Shen Kevin is ugly, it's actually okay if you get used to it. He's quite watchable."
There are not a few voices like this, and some fans even argue with others because of this point of view.
Shen Kaiwen saw it in his eyes and was moved in his heart.
As long as you sing well, it doesn't matter.
Hearing this, Zhao Lei slammed the button.
The chair turned instantly.
When he saw Kevin Shen singing, he smiled extremely happily, waving his hands and swaying to the rhythm, and humming something in his mouth.
The audience was immediately delighted. Look, Zhao Lei also liked this song very much.
Shen Kaiwen waved his hand and continued singing: "On the endless stage,
On the other side that is not understood,
Radiate the dignity of life and self..."
"Turn around! Turn around! Turn around!" Someone in the audience began to call the instructor.
This is also a major feature of the show. The audience's reaction can affect the choice of the mentor. The louder the cheers, the more likely it is that the mentor will turn around.
After all, no matter how professional a person is, he may still miss something, but the audience has a God's perspective.
Lin Wanqing gently tapped the button.
He Xiuyuan turned around.
Shen Ruman turned around.
All four instructors turned around.
Lin Wanqing's expression was very calm, and she made no secret of the fact that she had already guessed who it was. She just raised her hand and waved it gently.
Kevin Shen bowed with a snap, which made the audience laugh.
"Good guy, Zhao Lei turned around and Kevin Shen was not like this just now. The degree of bending was completely different."
"The stage is not about fighting and killing, but also about human relations."
"I think Kevin Shen has a bright future, and the new album seems to be solid."
"There may be no point in trying to please Lin Wanqing, as this person is incompetent. If you please Lin Wanqing, you will get an unprecedented opportunity."
The audience enjoyed watching it and were also very satisfied with the instructor's reaction.
On the stage, Kevin Shen completely let go and no longer tried to suppress his voice. After all, he let go completely. The instructor could guess it after just listening to a few sentences, and the effect of the show would be much worse.
"I'm really ugly,
But I am very gentle,
The day is dim,
The night is immortal,
that's me. "
After the song ended, Zhao Lei was the first to speak, "Introduce yourself."
"Hello, teacher, my name is Shen Kaiwen."
“It’s the first time I’m on this stage, so I’m a little nervous.”
The four instructors laughed and were so nervous.
Zhao Lei said: "Kevin, I don't think I've heard this song before. Is it a new song?"
This is helping him advertise, Zhao Lei is also a good person.
Shen Kaiwen nodded, "Yes, Teacher Zhao, this is a new song written by Teacher Nuoyan."
"I think this song might hit you a little bit, you know what I mean, so can you tell me why you chose this song?"
Zhao Lei said it very tactfully, but how could Shen Kevin not hear it.
"Actually, when I got this song, I felt a little resistant. I'm obviously a handsome guy, why do you call me ugly."
Lin Wanqing blinked, "What do you say about the promise?"
Shen Kaiwen smiled self-deprecatingly, "Then Teacher Nuoyan silently pushed me to the mirror, pointed at his face in the mirror, and then pointed at my face, and then Yu Zhou came over."
Everyone laughed. Nuoyan was recognized as a handsome guy. When he stood on the stage before he debuted, everyone in the audience shouted "girls and husbands".
Yu Zhou's looks are average, but standing next to Shen Kaiwen, he looks like Pan An, and he's extremely handsome.
When three people stand together, everyone can imagine what it will be like.
"What a waste of promises!" He Xiuyuan couldn't help complaining.
"He has always been very damaging." Lin Wanqing said to herself.
Shen Ruman nodded in agreement: "Nuoyan is indeed handsome."
The camera suddenly showed Lin Wanqing.
Under the camera, Lin Wanqing wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows imperceptibly, as if she felt a crisis.
The teacher was so excited that something was going to happen to the program team. When he mentioned the promise, the camera turned directly to Lin Wanqing.
"Knock hard!"
"Hurry up and make it official! Lin Wanqing's protection of food is so obvious."
The scene returned to the stage, Shen Kaiwen said: "I want to express that everyone has imperfections, but even so, we still face life seriously in imperfection."
"Singing is my dream. Fans like my songs. It doesn't matter whether I look good or not."
After saying that, Shen Kevin felt a little relieved.
"Kevin Shen! You are the most handsome!" Suddenly someone from the audience shouted loudly.
Soon, more and more people shouted: "Kevin Shen! You are the most handsome!"
Kevin Shen almost stopped crying. He just bent down and bowed to the audience. From all directions, Kevin Shen bowed from every angle.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
The host took over the topic, "Kevin, congratulations on having all four instructors turn around at the same time and come to this stage. Do you have anything to say to the audience?"
"Thank you everyone. What I want to say is that appearance is not important. Anyone with a dream is great!"
"Shen Kaiwen is the most handsome!" someone in the audience shouted.
"Thank you Kevin, you sang a new song today. Do you have any plans to release a new song?" The host guided the topic.
Today's episode was arranged by Hongliu. Shen Kaiwen came to support it, and the program helped him promote his album.
"Yes, today's song is the first song in the album of the same name tailor-made for me by Teacher Nuoyan. The new album "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle" has ten songs. It will be online at 12 noon tomorrow. Welcome. Listen in, everyone.”
Zhao Lei envied: "Did I promise to create a new album for you so soon?"
"As we all know, Teacher Nuoyan can complete an album in one day." Shen Kaiwen touted vigorously.
"I wonder if Fanxing is still recruiting people?" Zhao Lei said coldly.
Before Shen Kaiwen could say anything, Lin Wanqing said first, "Here! Teacher Zhao, please come and I will release a new album for you right away."
Although Zhao Lei was joking, Lin Wanqing's words still moved him a little.
Who doesn’t like this kind of master songwriter who releases an album without saying a word! Kevin Shen has a new album out in just a few days.
Fanxing was established for more than a month. Yu Zhou released an album and Shen Kaiwen released an album. The speed is frightening.
Kevin Shen stepped down and the show continued to air.
#Shen Kaiwen's new album "I'm Ugly, But I'm So Gentle" is announced!
#Mysterious guest Kevin Shen was a guest on "The Voice of China", and four instructors turned around at the same time!
#I am ugly, but I am gentle.
Shen Kaiwen returned to the world, but instead of singing the bitter love songs he is best at, he came into the public eye with "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle".
As soon as the show aired, the song resonated with many people.
His appearance and the songs he sang made him quickly become the spokesperson for ugly men, but this sense of representation was still not enough until "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle".
The majority of ordinary-looking fans quickly feel a sense of empathy as soon as they hear "I'm ugly, but I'm gentle" and feel that they have some confidence in front of girls.
However, you may not realize that Shen Kaiwen is popular because of his talent, not because of his ugliness.
Ugliness is a feature, but not an advantage.
"Kevin Shen sings well! I'm ugly, but I'm gentle."
A female netizen said: "If there is an ugly boy who can love me as much as Shen Kaiwen sings in his song, then I will accept him no matter how ugly he is."
Unlike women, as long as men are talented or wealthy, being ugly is not an original sin, which is why there are so many beautiful women matching ugly men.
On this day, "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle" was resounding in the streets and alleys. The song hadn't been released yet, but many street singers had already learned how to sing it.
