Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 84 Shape of You
  It is normal for a British native like Emma not to know Wen Hao.

Not to mention actors like her who were in different industries from Wen Hao, even among the track and field athletes present, except for Bolt, no one knew that Wen Hao was actually a singer.

After knocking Bolt off the stage, Wen Hao cast a slightly apologetic look at William.

William raised his hand, indicating that the stage would be handed over to him.

This party is not a serious public place, nor is it a private place where only close friends come and go. As long as these young people don't go too far, he will maintain his self-cultivation as a prince.

Wen Hao took the microphone and started in a humorous style:
  "There is a Chinese idiom called "throwing a brick to attract jade." I don't know if I am the jade, but I believe that my friend Usain should be the brick, and this brick should wake everyone up. "

"Hehehehe-"

Everyone in the yard smiled cooperatively.

"Many people here didn't know me before, and even now many people may not remember my name, but it doesn't matter, I will let everyone know me in a special way."

As Wen Hao spoke, he patted the guitar in his hand, turned sideways to William and said:
  "When I first came in, Mr. William guessed that I was a musician, and I said he was half right. The other half was: I play the guitar well, and I can also play the piano and violin. I can indeed be considered a musician.

"The half I didn't guess right is: I'm actually a singer, um, a signed singer with EMI Records."

As soon as these words came out, some people in the crowd echoed "Wow".

It's polite, but also a bit surprising.

Wen Hao's identity as a track and field athlete was already known to those present before.

Although the world youth record holder is far inferior to top players such as Asafa Powell and Bekele, he can definitely be regarded as a young elite when looking at the world.

But this identity he suddenly revealed: a singer signed by EMI Records?
  There were also artists signed by entertainment companies, such as Jessie J, who had sung on stage before and is now a signed singer by Sony/ATV Publishing.

But Wen Hao on stage, in addition to his identity as a track and field athlete, actually also hides his identity as a contracted singer?
  Not everyone can claim to be a signed singer, especially if he is a signed singer of EMI Records. He really can't be a singer if he has no ability.

Out of curiosity, the British young elites in the yard suddenly discovered that some of their friends who were from the East like Wen Hao began to learn more about science.

"I testify that Wen Hao is indeed a singer, and his album sales are still very high in East and Southeast Asia, ranking among the top three in the annual charts!"

"He is not only a singer, but also a rock singer. The first single is really hot and explosive. It's a pity that there is no English version, otherwise it will be a killer."

"Of course I am his fan! He can run, sing, and is handsome. Who wouldn't like him?"

"."

While whispering, under Wen Hao's command, the lights at the scene changed from the colorful colors made by Bolt and others to a single warm white light.

It was only at this moment that many people at the scene took a serious look at his appearance for the first time.

In fact, if we don’t understand it carefully, whether it is a Westerner versus an Easterner or an Easterner versus a Westerner, it is inevitable that they will be face-blind under normal circumstances.

But when it comes to appearance, we are all human beings, and there may indeed be some differences in aesthetic preferences, but in fact they are all pretty much the same.

In the eyes of Orientals, faces like Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, and Emma Watson must be beautiful; faces like Leonardo, Beckham, and Robert Downey Jr. Ni is definitely handsome.

Similarly, in the eyes of Westerners, actresses such as Fan Bayi, Son Ye-jin, and Shin Hwan Yui are naturally beautiful; faces like Dawn, Hyun Bin, and Nakamura Takuya are also handsome.

As for Wen Hao, he is also the kind of person who, at first glance, would think he is "handsome" regardless of whether he has a Western aesthetic or an Eastern aesthetic.

Tall figure, upright posture, handsome face, masculine temperament.

In addition, he is still wearing the No. 7 jersey. With this association, it seems that there is still a bit of Beckham's meaning.

Some of the girls present felt regretful because photography was not prohibited at this party, but they just didn't bring their cameras because they thought it was troublesome and missed the opportunity to take photos of the handsome guy.

In front of the stage, Annie was skillfully setting up a camera. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and naturally she would not miss it.

I just felt a little worried. Whether Wen Hao sang "Chasing Dreams" or the other two songs, they were all Chinese songs and most of the guests present could not understand them.

If it is original, let alone the local British people, how many percent of those international students or Chinese can understand it without the lyrics?

But looking at Wen Hao's confident look, she wasn't going to say anything. Maybe he would settle for singing a familiar English song?

While Wen Hao was preparing on the stage, he used his peripheral vision to look at his surroundings from time to time.

Soon, he saw Emma walking towards the stage with small steps.

On her delicate and pretty face, her eyes were still a little red. Wen Hao didn't know why she was crying before, but it was definitely related to this party.

Thinking of her pitiful look before, he had an idea and finally decided on the song he would play tonight.

I brought a high chair and placed it in the middle, adjusted the microphone stand, and added an extra microphone and placed it at the same height as the sound hole of the guitar.

"Next, I want to sing an original song for everyone. It was inspired by it, so I haven't decided on the title yet."

The onlookers who were already whispering became even louder, but he believed that when the prelude started and the singing started, they would immediately quiet down and listen carefully.

After making a gesture to the console, the lighting engineer dimmed the lights outside the stage in cooperation. Now Wen Hao's center of the stage really attracted the attention of the whole audience.

"Zheng~~~"

A strum begins, which also reminds the people present: It’s time to be quiet, now, listen to me singing!
  Then, a brisk guitar intro sounded, followed by Wen Hao's singing:

The club isn't the best place to find a lover

(This club is not a place to find comfort)

So the bar is where I go

(So ​​let's go to the bar)

Me and my friends at the table doing shots

(My friends and I were having a toast at the table)
   Drinking fast and then we talk slowly

(Drink it in one gulp and then slowly complain to your heart)
  .

After the first lyrics and melody reached their ears, the onlookers at the party did not remain silent.

Only this time it was no longer discussions and noises, but a series of low shouts of surprise, which gathered into a sea of ​​amazement.

"Thank you for the generous gift! It's really original!"

"Oh Maikar, can this melody and these lyrics really be written by Chinese people?"

"It's not specially arranged by EMI, right? But the quality of this piece of music can be promoted and released directly. There is no need to go here."

There were many young singers and musicians present who were proficient in music, and they could naturally appreciate the quality of the song "Shape of You".

It is precisely because of this that they use foul language one after another.

No, bro, you are a Chinese, it’s just that you can write such a good song, and you are not ambiguous about the lyrics at all?

Not to mention anything else, just the line "Put Van The Man on the jukebox". You racked your brains a lot in order to write this line, right?

Those who are knowledgeable are listening to the melody, guitar techniques, and details of the lyrics, while those who are not knowledgeable are already following Wen Hao's singing, the melody and rhythm of the song, shaking their heads, and even twisting and dancing. For example, Bolt, after hearing the phrase "Me and my friends", felt that the lyrics were sung to him, and he was doing exaggerated and funny dance steps in response to Wen Hao's singing.

This means that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

At the party at this moment, even someone as reserved as William naturally followed the melody and rhythm of the song, nodding and beating the beat.

On the contrary, Emma, ​​whose eyes were red from crying for some unknown reason not long ago, was now staring closely at the figure on the stage with an indescribable gaze.

Emma clearly remembers that when Wen Hao sang the first line: "This club is not a place to find comfort, so let's go to the bar," his eyes were on her.

Wen Hao must have noticed that her eyes were red from crying before, so he felt that she had a bad experience at this party, and she wanted to go to the bar herself.
  So, did he modify this lyrics from the original lyrics, or was this song sung just for her?
  Anyway, from the first sentence, Emma has already regarded herself as the heroine of this song.

Girl, you know I want your love

(Girl, you know I want your love)
   Your love was handmade for somebody like me

(Your love is only for people like me)
  .

Grab on my waist and put that body on me

(Just put your arms around my waist and bring your body close to me)
   Come on now, follow my lead

(Come on, just follow me)
   Come—come on now, follow my lead

……
  By the time this part was sung, the whole party was already in a state of excitement. All the onlookers spontaneously started to follow Wen Hao's singing and started to beat the music. The sound of "papapapa" was heard endlessly.

While enjoying the song, the eyes of the men and women present gradually became ambiguous.

The lyrics seem quite straightforward at first glance, but after thinking about it for a while, I discovered that there is a hidden meaning.

Good guy, isn’t this making fun of yourself in public?
  But compared to the "serious" Xiao Huang song, the lyrics of Wen Hao's song are not too explicit.

It's like a young beauty taking off her clothes, but dancing through a hazy gauze curtain. It's astringent, but not completely astringent.

If you use Chinese language, it means "still holding the pipa and half covering your face".

The hazy beauty is the most attractive.

I'm in love with the shape of you

(I am trapped in the love that is in your name)

We push and pull like a magnet do

(Like magnets that attract and repel each other but do not separate from each other)
   Although my heart is falling too

(My heart has also fallen with you)

I'm in love with your body

(Your body also makes me extremely attached to you)

.

By the time this part was sung, the young men and women at the party were already in a state of ecstasy. A few couples, or those who had known each other for a long time, were already kissing each other passionately.

At the same time, there are also many young men and women hanging out together, dancing to the rhythm. If love comes, it is still unknown whether a further relationship may develop.

The lighting engineer of the party was also very sensible and changed all the lights in the yard to colors that could highlight the ambiguity.

Wen Hao was still sitting on the high stool, playing the guitar and singing.

Several bold girls had already enthusiastically ran onto the stage and danced around him.

He could roughly imagine that once the song was finished, the girls' red lips might be vying to be printed on his cheeks.

But since he chose this song "Shape of You", his goal was clear from the beginning.

Therefore, he completely ignored the girls competing for beauty around him. Sometimes he cooperated with Anne's camera lens, and sometimes he raised his eyebrows to Miss Hermione in the audience.

I'm in love with your body

(I fall in love with your wonderful body)
   Every day discovering something brand new

(Every day with you is so brand new)

I'm in love with the shape of you!
  (I am trapped in the love that is in your name)

When the last line of the lyrics was sung, when the last note of the guitar accompaniment faded away, the cheers and applause of the young men and women present, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly surged out like a wave of enthusiasm.

"Awesome Wenhao! Perfect scene!"

"Wen! I love this song so much! Tell me what it's called?!"

"I love you Wen! I want to give you a monkey!"

Hehe, he said he wanted to give birth to a monkey, but his body just stayed there motionless. How could he give birth?
  Look at these girls who have been on stage ready to go. Their red lips are imprinted on my face!
  Wen Hao struggled to push away the girls who were already clinging to him, and then shook hands and hugged William, who came on stage with a smile on his face.

William picked up the microphone that Wen Hao used to record the guitar, and coughed twice. After seeing his actions, the originally noisy atmosphere at the party quickly quieted down.

“This is really a handsome and beautiful performance. I can’t believe that such an original song with absolutely high quality melody and lyrics will appear at my party!
  "And Wen Hao, I don't know much about music, so I hope the elites here who are proficient in music theory can tell me whether the quality of this song and Wen Hao's singing ability are good or bad?!"

Along with William's field-controlled questions, singers and musicians distributed in every corner of the party responded one after another.

"Prince William! I dare say that once this song is released, it will definitely sweep all the major charts in the UK!"

"It's smaller, the pattern is smaller! Be bold and sweep across Europe!"

"No, no, no, it should sweep across Europe and the United States!"

"Hey hey hey, have you all forgotten that Wen is Chinese? How can we not bring China into the list?"

"My dear, this is an English song, and we in South Korea also welcome it very much, Smecta!"

After listening to the responses for a while, William didn't care whether what they said was true. Anyway, Wen Hao's song pushed the party to the climax. This was real.

So he patted Wen Hao on the shoulder and asked: "Okay, my dear Wen, let me tell you now, what is the name of this song? If it has not been decided before, then let's decide it in front of everyone. !”

Wen Hao smiled and nodded, raised the microphone and said:

"Thank you, thank you for your likes! In fact, I thought of the title of the song during the singing process, and it's called "Shape of You"."

"In addition, the inspiration for this original song actually came from a girl at tonight's party who surprised me at first sight."
