sunday evening game!

[presumenothing]

Borrowing off nnozomi's rec game – reply with a number between 1 and 436 and I'll give you the corresponding vid off my Zhou Shen playlist!! (Which is, yes, a whole 436 vids long XD)

ETA: This is also running on Tumblr with extra commentary! All the songs ahoy.

Of course it's that long xD

Hm, let's go early on the list! 13?

[presumenothing]

Of course!!

#13: the official Hunan TV upload for 大鱼的天堂, aka that one incredible showstopping duet with Tengger! For which I genuinely cannot give any stronger recommendation than "just go watch it already", though I'm sure you already have XD the whole ending part never fails to give me the chills even though I've listened to it infinity many times by this point.

[shadaras]

Ahhhh yes I have definitely watched that before <3 It's always worth another watch/listen! (The animated section catches me by surprise every time, still!)

333

玫瑰与小鹿 aka The Rose and The Deer, which also happens to be his first single ever, from way back in 2015! It's such a nice peaceful tune.

[xmarksthespotwhereistand]

84?

[presumenothing]

临安初雨 aka First Rain in Lin'an – it's so ethereal that I'd never believe it was for a mobile game XD definitely one I'd love to hear him sing live now, unlikely as that is!

[elenothar]

77!

(I just checked, and apparently my own Zhou Shen playlist only has 297 videos in it (watch me bury the urge to find three videos, stat))

[presumenothing]

…I kid you not, #77 is literally the 2060 performance of 浓情淡如你 with the ridiculously beautiful virtual backgrounds and even more ridiculously great singing, because the numbers apparently have it out for us??

Buuuuut since I've already lost my marbles over this before, have #76 – the multilingual version of 花西子 aka Florasis, which is frankly just unfairly OP as a cosmetics advertisement in either version, with super-beautifully-styled MVs to boot.

Also, mood on the remaining 3, one must have the Round Numbers!!

[elenothar]

Tyranny of the numbers! I say, definitely watching that vid again.

... I failed to realise Florasis is supposed to be an ad, which rather makes your point.

[nnozomi]

That is a lot. 242?

[presumenothing]

Oh, I haven't heard this one in a while – 暗示, it's a fun one especially on the ending part! Though admittedly a little odd-one-out compared to most of his other songs XD

(And yes, the playlist is actually long enough that there are whole parts I miss out on despite putting it on shuffle quite often…)

[nnozomi]

Oh, that's a sweet one! Musically very much up my alley, so I'm glad I chose it. And the little coloratura twiddling at the end is hilarious. (I know Western opera is not most people's thing around here, but Zhou Shen cast as Cherubino in Marriage of Figaro would be SO GOOD. Or even just singing the relevant arias...)
(sorry, this is what happens when I stay awake until this hour. 晚安.)

[presumenothing]

It's literally hilarious you should say that, because I went back to confirm my vague recollection and you've got the nail right on the head – Liao Changyong (who he met on 声入人心 aka Super-Vocal, though this comment was on another show) did invite Zhou Shen to play Cherubino, though it didn't happen (or at least hasn't happened yet?) possibly due to scheduling reasons. But yes, clearly the suitability is real XD
