Lin Chudong was stunned for a moment, "Alright, I'm good with that."
"Then it's settled. Bring the band this time, and we'll record for two episodes straight."
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Yin asked excitedly.
"The program team invited us?"
"Yeah, you heard it too. Two episodes straight, first a supporting performance, and then a challenge in the second episode."
"Great!"
Wang Zhi said excitedly, "Brother Fei, you said you'd bring a musician for the guest performance. Are you bringing me?"
Lin Chudong shook his head and pointed at Guo Xiaoliang. "I'm bringing Xiaoliang. I'll send you a score later. You practice it quickly. It's a prelude, and it's not easy. Yang Han and I will sing with you."
Guo Xiaoliang was immediately excited. "Great! Brother Fei, I'll definitely practice hard!"
Guo Xiaoliang was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that since he was the newest person in the company, Brother Fei would bring him on for such a good program first.
Wang Zhi looked dejected. "Brother Fei, I'm your first underling! Why didn't you bring me first?"
Lin Chudong patted his shoulder and said,
"Firstly, you're a bassist, and I need a prelude for the acoustic guitar."
"Secondly, you'll be on in the second episode, so don't worry."
"Third, your looks are still a bit lacking compared to Xiaoliang; to put it bluntly, you're not handsome enough."
Wang Zhi's lips twitched. "Brother Fei, you're being too harsh."
"It's not that I'm being harsh, it's just that reality is cruel."
Jing Feifei suddenly sang from the side.
"In a tiny company, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, there's a tiny bassist, so angry he screams for his mom."
Wang Zhi:…
Liang Yin clapped her hands and said excitedly.
"Everyone get ready, we're going to Changsha to record the show! I'll book the tickets tonight! We leave Friday!"
...
The next morning, Lin Chudong received a package – an electric guitar.
The moment he opened it, Lin Chudong was stunned.
It almost blinded him! This guitar was so flashy! Covered in diamonds!
Chen Jianguo was dumbfounded, "Wow, this was glued on by hand, wasn't it?"
Lin Chudong touched it; indeed, it was glued on by hand. If he took this on stage, the effect would be explosive.
He glanced at the sender. Lin Chudong was a bit surprised and quickly sent Deng Siqing a message on WeChat.
"Sister Deng, I received the guitar. Did you make it yourself?"
"Hmm, do you like it?"
"I like it very much. You shouldn't have," Lin Chudong said, touching the instrument. He was a little flattered. Sister Deng was too kind, wasn't she?
Deng Siqing rubbed the blisters on her hands, staring at the WeChat interface and smiling foolishly.
He said he liked it, did he mean he liked me? …
After putting away the instrument, he headed straight for the Film and Television Base.
Lin Qiqi was here to make a guest appearance today, and everyone was very excited, but no one dared to disturb her while she was working.
Lin Qiqi was a little dissatisfied with the role, "Da Fei, why are my lines just those few phrases over and over? Besides preparing for the drug test, it's just preparing for the drug test. Give me more lines."
Lin Chudong said, "I wanted you to play the female lead, but Sister Song wouldn't allow it. It's just a guest appearance. That's enough."
Lin Qiqi pouted, "Alright."
After putting on her makeup and the cameras started rolling, Lin Qiqi immediately got into character.
A girl in her early twenties was made up to look like a police chief in her forties, and there wasn't a hint of awkwardness. Lin Qiqi's acting skills were quite impressive; she didn't just rely on her family connections and her incredibly beautiful face to get where she was.
"Great, cut! Congratulations to Qiqi for wrapping up her scenes!"
Lin Qiqi shrugged. This was the fastest she'd ever wrapped up a role.
After filming ended, Lin Qiqi pulled Lin Chudong into the break room and closed the door, saying,
"Da Fei, I learned something fun."
"Oh? What's fun?"
Lin Qiqi took out a cup of milk tea and two straws.
She put one straw into the cup, then put the other straw in her mouth.
"Mmm..."
Lin Qiqi gestured for Lin Chudong to bite the other straw.
Lin Chudong's cheeks immediately flushed slightly. This young lady had clearly learned this from a short video. These short videos nowadays were really poisoning young people!
Lin Chudong bit the straw, and milk tea went from the cup into Lin Qiqi's mouth, and then into Da Fei's mouth.
Lin Qiqi's face was flushed, and after taking a few sips, she said.
"This is called imported milk tea. Is it good, Da Fei?"
"Delicious."
Lin Qiqi found a chair and sat down. "I'm going to film tomorrow. Stay with me for a while today."
"Okay."
Lin Chudong also sat beside her. The two of them were in this empty rest area, but they didn't feel bored at all.
Lin Qiqi reached out her hand and put it in front of him.
"Hold hands."
Lin Chudong offered his hand, and the two of them held hands.
Holding Lin Qiqi's warm little hand, Lin Chudong felt more relaxed than ever before.
These past few days have been exhausting. I have to rehearse with Yang Han in the evenings, and the show recording is the day after tomorrow. Luckily, my physique is +1, or I really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Lin Qiqi said, "Sister Song asked, when will you give me the song for the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Wait until I finish filming this drama. Did the director's team contact you for the first audition?"
"No, Sister Song said I don't need the first audition, just the second one."
"...Alright."
There's still a gap, isn't there? Look at her; that's what it means to be a big shot.
After finishing her milk tea, Lin Qiqi said, "Da Fei, massage my feet for me."
Lin Qiqi lifted her leg and rested her small foot on Lin Chudong's leg.
After taking off her shoes and socks, Lin Chudong massaged her feet.
"I'm so tired, my feet ache."
Lin Chudong sniffed, "They don't smell bad."
Lin Qiqi's face flushed immediately, "Stinky big fly, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
On the day of the third episode recording of I Am a Singer.
Lin Chudong originally didn't want the crew to take a break. The Film and Television Base and the equipment were all calculated by the day, and he could go record in the evening after finishing filming.
However, Liang Yin was worried that he was too tired, so she gave everyone an afternoon off to ensure they were in the best mental state.
Lin Chudong took a nap on the plane, and his energy and spirit immediately recovered a lot after landing.
Liang Yin was a little surprised, "Da Fei, you're made of iron, your physical fitness is quite strong."
Lin Chudong smiled. This was all thanks to the Constitution +1. If he drew a few more, he might be even stronger. Of course, he was talking about physical fitness, not anything else.
This business trip was again a collective effort of the entire company, plus a Yang Han who rushed back specifically to rehearse with Lin Chudong.
Lin Chudong said, "Sorry to put you through this, it's been hard on you."
Yang Han could have waited for him in Changsha, but she specifically flew back just for the rehearsal.
Yang Han smiled, "It's nothing. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun for me to wait there for a week. It's better to stay in Magic City."
The group got off the plane, and the director's team sent someone to pick them up.
Coming to Mango TV, Hong Wentao walked over warmly and shook hands with Lin Chudong.
"Musical genius, I'm counting on you for the ratings of these two episodes."
Lin Chudong smiled, "Director, you flatter me. It's an honor for me to be on this phenomenon-level variety show."
Hong Wentao said, "If these two episodes go well, then it's the finals. I'm planning to broadcast both episodes of the finals live. Da Fei, you need to work hard and make it to the finals."
Lin Chudong said, "Okay, I'll work hard. I love live broadcasts."
Hong Wentao:…
He had also watched the program "Shout It Out to Me" during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala broadcast. If Da Fei, this kid, went live, he didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause.
But fortunately, this was a variety show, not as serious as the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Even if something went wrong, it would just be considered part of the show's effect, and Hong Wentao didn't care.
"For the first episode, you're going after the queen, Zhang Yiran. Is that okay?"
"Okay."
"We'll record the first round first. I liked the duet score with Yang Han. What song are you singing for the second round's challenge?"
"No More Hesitation."
"Great, that suits me. Let's go in and do makeup, rehearse once, and then start the official recording."
Alright!
Two hours later, the show recording officially began.
When Zhang Yiran took the stage, the help-singing star they saw was the veteran singer Xu Feng!
Zhang Yiran and Xu Feng sang a heartfelt duet of Eternal Love, instantly igniting the crowd. Sister Zhang and Xu Feng's duet perfectly performed the song.
Xu Feng was also a实力派 [powerhouse] in the music world, with extremely strong singing skills. The two of them were a perfect match, and their performance this time also won everyone's applause.
Hong Wentao was extremely satisfied and said,
"Da Fei, Sister Zhang's performance is hard to follow. It's up to you."
Lin Chudong nodded.
After Zhang Yiran's song ended, she stayed on stage, enjoying the applause for a while, and then said,
"Next, please welcome Yang Han and her helper. I don't know who this mysterious guest is. Please give them a round of applause!"
The stage was completely dark.
Then, a spotlight shone, illuminating the side of the stage, where the musicians were.
Guo Xiaoliang sat on a chair, holding a guitar, and began to play a beautiful acoustic guitar intro.
Liang Yin and the others in the audience got excited, "Xiaoliang is pretty handsome!!"
Wang Zhi pouted, "Not quite as good as me."
After about twenty seconds of the intro, the lights suddenly dimmed.
Guo Xiaoliang only had this short amount of stage time, but he was already satisfied. This was Brother Fei's effort to get him a performance opportunity.
Otherwise, he would only be able to sit in the dark musician's area off to the side.
Then, the lights came up from behind.
Two black shadows appeared in everyone's view.
A man and a woman walked hand in hand.
The audience below immediately gasped.
"Da Fei! It's really Da Fei!"
The prelude ended, and the two walked under the spotlight.
Yang Han's ethereal voice resonated throughout the venue.
"Every day I need your love
I want you to guess my thoughts I_love_you I just want you to make every day of mine exciting Say it every day
What exactly is true love? I_love_you How much can be said faster than imagined!"
This time, there was no emotional build-up, no fancy theatrics, just a sweet, direct attack from the moment they opened their mouths!
Instantly, the entire audience erupted in cheers!
Liang Yin, backstage, crossed her arms and said, "They're just singing, why do they have to hold hands?"
Chen Jianguo glanced at her. "It's a performance. That's just how love song duets are. Are you jealous?"
Liang Yin quickly denied it. "What am I jealous of? I was just asking! Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Chen!"
Chen Jianguo smiled and continued watching the performance.
Even after hearing Yang Han's voice a hundred times, it was still incredibly stunning.
The two of them held hands, standing in the middle of the stage, just like a couple in love.
Although Yang Han was a few years older, she looked very young, and they were quite a match.
Lin Chudong picked up the microphone, and his voice, full of magnetism, filled the entire venue.
"Is it that our emotions are too abundant and generous,
Or is it heaven's arrangement?
Is it that we were originally of the same kind,
Or unwilling to be too well-behaved?
It was that one time when the appointment didn't come,
Leaving me to cry like a child.
Is it that we were eager to prove our existence?"
还是不爱会发呆."
Lin Chudong's opening lines immediately ignited cheers from the audience.
As expected of Da Fei, every performance was stunning.
Unlike before, Da Fei didn't bring his guitar this time. There was no rock and roll, only a gentle duet.
He was no longer the unrestrained figure of the past, but instead, he seemed a little shy.
"Da Fei looks like a shy young man!"
The two sang together.
"Both: Must Love ---
Lin Chudong: Otherwise, where does joy come from? Both: Must Love Lin Chudong: Otherwise, where does sadness come from? Both: Must Love Lin Chudong: Otherwise, I'll lose my future Both: Feels like I can't help myself, so I fail
But every day is wonderful…"
The voices of the two perfectly blended, a textbook duet.
Sweet, absolutely sweet.
So sweet it was cloying.
The melody of this song was catchy, and the two singers' extreme performance made everyone feel sweet in their hearts.
This sweet attack was another knockout! Zhang Yiran's side was also a duet, and both were very good, but compared to this one, it immediately lost its soul.
Of course, everyone knew that Lin Chudong and Yang Han actually had no scandals, just a collaboration to sing a song, but even so, this performance gave everyone the feeling of watching a romance drama.
Such an audio-visual feast was undoubtedly another god-level performance!
"Every day I need your love
My thoughts are for you to guess..."
In the final verse, Yang Han finished the song. Both of them had a rosy glow on their faces, just like shy lovers, which further ignited the cheers and standing applause of the entire audience!
Chen Jianguo rubbed his beard and said, "Being young is really good."
Jia Lu said, "Fei-ge's song is truly amazing. I even want to set it as my mobile phone ringtone."
"You can squat at the recording studio later. As soon as Fei-ge finishes recording, you can download it. You'll be the first to use this ringtone."
"You have a point!"
After the entire cast finished singing, Hong Wentao stood up and said.
"Everyone, we'll take a fifteen-minute break. We'll record the second round shortly!"
The audience, all industry professionals, understood the routine.
Recording two episodes at once was already a considerate move; some shows would record five or
six episodes in one go, practically exhausting the audience.
While the audience rested, Hong Wentao led the contestants to the break room and said, "Alright
everyone, it's time to announce the rankings. To make the recording smoother, I won't reveal them
beforehand. Get yourselves ready, and try to keep your reactions genuine."
Everyone nodded; after all, this was pre-recorded, not live, so they needed to create a good show effect.
"Alright, ready, 3, 2, 1, go." "Next, I will announce the rankings for this episode of I Am a Singer."
"Everyone says I like to create suspense, so I'll be direct this time." "I'll announce the last place first."
"The last place in this round of voting goes to Wang Xu and Li Shudong."
Several singers' gazes landed on a young singer. Wang Xu stood up helplessly, bowed to everyone,
and his guest performer also looked somewhat dejected.
This program was too challenging for him. Everyone was belting high notes, which he wasn't good
at, so this ranking was inevitable.
"Next is the first place." "The first place in this round of voting..." "Yang Han, Da Fei!"
"Vast Skies and Endless Seas" Seals His Godhood
The recording wrapped up. Lin Chudong suggested he head back first, while the others could enjoy themselves in Changsha.
They'd come all this way, no point in wasting the plane tickets. He could handle things with the crew.
But Liang Yin and the others refused, insisting they all go home together.
Wang Zhi and the others didn't understand the film industry, but they were diligently studying it. Liang Yin, especially, had bought several books about being a manager and would always sneak in a read whenever she had a moment.
The common trait among this group was their hard work. With everyone pulling in the same direction, the company would develop even better.
Back at the film base, they worked day and night, and within a few days, they'd finished filming all the scenes.
"That's a wrap!"
"Everyone, good work!"
Everyone applauded, full of anticipation for the show and completely convinced by Lin Chudong.
They watched a short clip, and it was quite brilliant; this show's broadcast effect would certainly be extraordinary.
"In the next few days, everyone go to the recording studio to dub the post-production audio, and then the work will be completely finished."
Li Xiaomai asked, "Brother Fei, where are you planning to release this show?"
Lin Chudong said, "I haven't decided yet. After the finished product comes out, I'll go around and ask. There are only a few online drama operators, so I'll see what price they can offer."
Deng Yong said, "Brother Fei, contact me when the time comes, and I'll introduce you to some people."
"Okay, thanks a lot."
The filming wrapped up, and Qian Duoduo approached Lin Chudong with the bill.
"Da Fei, the settlement is complete. The actors have all been paid, and we have a little over two million left."
Lin Chudong nodded. His initial budget was under ten million, but with the sponsorships they secured, they ended up with fourteen million. Still, they'd spent twelve million.
There was no help for it; the expenses were just too high. Once he got into the crew, Lin Chudong realized that money flowed like water. They were spending hundreds of thousands every day.
He wasn't satisfied with many things, and the only way to fix it was to spend more money. For one explosion scene, the makeup alone cost hundreds of thousands. That scene was the most important one in the entire drama. Skimping on it would make the whole thing look cheap.
Everyone had been working hard for half a month. Liang Yin treated everyone to a bath to relax. Then, she booked the plane tickets; they were heading to Changsha tomorrow morning.
That night, I Am the Song King aired.
Everyone was on the second floor of the bathhouse, watching on their phones while they were in the sauna.
Da Fei's appearance instantly caused the comments to explode.
"Holy shit, the show's awesome! They said they'd get Da Fei, and they got Da Fei. I love this show!"
"Da Fei and Yang Han are such a perfect match. They look like a golden couple when they're together."
"That guitarist earlier was also super handsome. Five minutes, and I need his contact info!"
"This song, Can't Help But Love, as expected, is another Da Fei production. This song is a big departure from his usual style, isn't it?"
"It's so good! I'm setting it as my ringtone!"
"You guys might not believe it, but I saw Liang Yin's band perform at a live house for thirty yuan back then..."
"Da Fei can actually rap..."
"That musical prodigy, no kidding, I'm calling it, Da Fei is number one this round."
"..."
Quite a few people were watching the show at this hour.
In a hotel in Hengdian, Lin Qiqi was lying on the bed with a strawberry-flavored lollipop in her mouth, watching on her phone.
Seeing the two of them come out holding hands, singing a duet with such feeling, she immediately pouted.
She paused the video and switched apps, opening Baidu and searching.
"What's the relationship between Da Fei and Yang Han?"
"Da Fei rumors."
"Da Fei's ex-girlfriend…"
Unfortunately, most of the search results were about her.
Meanwhile, Shen Jianbin and Sun Jie were, as usual, watching at the company, but this time Su Yulin was with them.
Shen Jianbin said,
"It's rare for Yulin to join us for a late-night snack. Want a drink?"
Su Yulin shook her head, "No thanks. My TV at home is small; the company's TV is more comfortable to watch."
Seeing the two singing a duet on TV, Shen Jianbin said, "How about it, Yulin, are you jealous?"
Su Yulin: Heh.
Sun Jie looked dejected, "Where did Da Fei pull all these songs from? His songwriting wasn't this amazing back then, was it?"
Da Fei had become famous back then, but he was only mildly popular. The songs he wrote were only good enough to be in the top fifty of the hit charts.
But now, look at him. He left the band and every song he releases is a hit. It's damn weird.
Shen Jianbin said, "I went to see him the other day, wanting to swap the band's song copyrights for his No More Hesitation, but he wouldn't. He doesn't even care about our songs anymore."
Sun Jie sighed, "What can we do then? Just watch him succeed?"
Shen Jianbin said, "Let him do his thing. We'll do something else, overtake him on the curves. We can go on more variety shows, and then we'll have everything."
"Yulin, we've arranged a few variety shows for you. You can pick which ones you want later. You're the company's cash cow now."
Su Yulin had a blank expression and said nothing.
She wasn't performing, so what else could she do besides not going on variety shows?
Hang out with those two every day, drinking and eating hot pot?
At this time, Cheng Huanhuan was also pulled over by Deng Siqing, watching the show in front of the TV.
Cheng Huanhuan said angrily, "You had to watch it, and now look, your Mr. Right is holding hands with someone else, your heart must be broken, right?"
Deng Siqing said, "Like I just entered the entertainment industry? This is nothing. It's just singing."
Cheng Huanhuan snorted, "What if he's filming a movie and has a kissing scene with someone else, would you be jealous?"
Deng Siqing frowned. Da Fei was already involved in film and television, and it wasn't uncommon for directors to direct and star in their own films.
Many directors, when they encounter beautiful actresses, will even get involved themselves to take advantage, and then cut the intimate scenes in post-production.
They get their benefits without ruining their reputation; there's a lot of scheming involved.
Deng Siqing said, "What's wrong with kissing scenes? Which idol drama doesn't have kissing scenes nowadays?"
"What about bed scenes then? If Da Fei sleeps with someone else, or just shoots a Category III film, can you accept that?"
"Cheng Huanhuan, are you sick? Are you deliberately asking me these kinds of questions?"
"She's getting agitated, Deng-jie is getting agitated."
"Go die! Look how handsome Da Fei is, he's wearing the clothes I bought for him!"
"Yes, yes, yes, even the underwear inside is what you bought."
...
"The first place in this episode goes to Yang Han and Da Fei!"
The barrage of comments immediately erupted with strings of "666"...
Just as everyone expected!
With Da Fei's performance, there was simply no suspense.
Even if the diva brought in Xu Feng, she would still be defeated by "Can't Help But Love"!
At the end of the show, there was a promotional animation and a preview for the next episode, featuring a mysterious challenger who was about to arrive.
Seeing the silhouette, everyone burst into laughter.
"The mysterious guest isn't so mysterious, I could tell it was Da Fei with my toes."
"Haha, the show's producers are so funny, mysterious but not entirely."
"Da Fei is finally on I Am the Song King, with an invincible aura, get ready to win!"
"The challenge of the knockout round isn't small; he has to get into the top four!"
"Are you looking down on Da Fei? Da Fei will go straight to the top two."
"First place, The You of the Past is a lock."
"..."
After the show aired, the effect was explosive. Hong Wentao called to inform him about recording the next episode tomorrow.
Liang Yin booked the tickets and said,
"Da Fei, we'll be getting offers for variety shows next, right?"
"Yeah, pretty much. You can filter through them. No dating shows, and you can pick the rest. Don't take anything in November. December is fine."
It's almost November now. If all goes as planned, they'll record one more episode of I Am the Song King, followed by two live final broadcasts. Plus, the release of Beginning... November will be busy.
December should be free, except for the second review for the Spring Festival Gala. They could probably take on one or two variety shows then.
Ideally, guest appearances, not permanent ones. Just a chance to show face and make some money, without getting tied down.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
"Get a violin ready for tomorrow. I'll wear that black hoodie again. And get a white dress ready for Xiao Jing."
"Okay. Is Xiao Jing going on stage?"
"Yeah, I'll talk to Director Hong later. I'm going to handle the stage design this time."
The next afternoon, Lin Chudong and his group arrived at Mango TV in Changsha.
In the makeup room, Hong Wentao said, "Da Fei, your plan is good. We'll rehearse it later, and if there are no problems, we'll follow your lead."
"Okay, thank you, Director Hong."
"It's nothing. I know you're using a piano this time. I've arranged for a Steinway for you. Be careful with it when you use it."
Jing Feifei's eyes lit up. "Oh, a Steinway?"
Hong Wentao smiled and gave a few instructions before getting busy.
He felt somewhat apologetic because he had restricted Lin Chudong's song selection in the previous round. Providing a piano was meant to be a gesture of compensation.
Wang Zhi said, "Even I, who don't play the piano, know about Steinway. How much does that thing cost?"
Jing Feifei replied, "Over a million."
"Tsk tsk, it really is a big production!"
Lin Chudong patted Jing Feifei on the shoulder, "Xiao Jing, you're the star today, do your best."
"Don't worry, Fei-ge."
"I mean, don't overdo it, be a little more quiet."
"...Okay."
The recording began.
Lin Chudong was the first to stand on the stage, becoming the host. Having been first for two consecutive episodes, the program's popularity was bound to be extremely high when it aired.
Lin Chudong emerged from the darkness, immediately eliciting cheers from the entire audience!
Everyone became excited and screamed when they saw Da Fei appear.
Da Fei's popularity was now no less than Yang Han's. Last time, Da Fei won first place in his debut, unstoppable.
If Da Fei could take first place again this time, he would be absolutely legendary!
"Hey, everyone, how are you doing!"
Da Fei's signature opening line once again triggered enthusiastic screams from the audience.
"I am honored to be the host of this episode."
"Director Hong asked me today to predict my ranking for this episode."
"I told him very clearly, I will definitely be number one this episode."
Lin Chudong paused.
"Or maybe second, or third?"
The audience below immediately burst into laughter.
Director Hong's routine had been played out by everyone.
"Alright, no more jokes. Let's welcome the first contestant of this round, Wang Xu!"
Wang Xu, who was at the bottom last episode, was the first to perform this episode.
He's a decent singer, but unfortunately, everyone in this show is a big shot.
Wang Xu was practically in tears. He'd hoped Da Fei would be a good target to beat, but instead, he got first place. It looked like Wang Xu was definitely going home this week.
After several rounds, it was Da Fei's turn.
Lin Chudong held the microphone, standing on stage, and began his opening remarks.
"Six months ago, I was the lead singer of Da Fei Band."
"Three months ago, I was a guitar teacher at a music store."
"Now, I'm here on the stage of I Am the Song King as a challenger."
"Life sure does have its ups and downs."
"The next singer sees music as a lifelong pursuit…"
At this point, applause erupted from the audience. They knew it was Da Fei's turn!
"I'll perform 'Vast Skies and Endless Seas' for everyone."
Lin Chudong smiled, picked up the diamond-encrusted guitar from the ground, took a few steps back, and stood behind the microphone stand.
Then, the spotlight shone on the center of the stage.
Beside Lin Chudong, there was a Steinway grand piano. Jing Feifei, in a white dress, sat on the piano bench, facing sideways towards the audience.
Lin Chudong stood behind her, the two of them, one in white and one in black, looked extremely harmonious.
The other musicians were in the darkness on either side.
The venue fell silent. After a few seconds, Jing Feifei slowly raised her hand and pressed down hard.
Her slender, long fingers were filled with power at that moment, and the sound of the piano resonated throughout the entire venue.
The pure piano prelude was like the piano's hammers striking the strings in people's hearts, striking directly at their souls.
The slow and shocking prelude ended, and Lin Chudong's voice began.
"Today, I, watch the snow fall in the cold night, With a cooled heart, drifting far away.
Chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish shadows in the mist,
The Vast Skies and Endless Seas, you and I,
Will we change?"
The backup vocals followed softly, singing, "Who hasn't changed..."
The audience below was completely captivated. Another Cantonese song, and an original one at that. Everyone frowned, reading the lyrics on the screen behind, waiting for Da Fei to blow the roof off again.
Backstage, Zhang Yiran narrowed his eyes.
He had been informed of the original song less than a week ago. Could he have created another hit song?
"How many times have I faced cold stares and ridicule
Never giving up on the ideals in my heart
A fleeting moment of feeling lost
Unknowingly, it has faded
Love in my heart (backup vocals: Who understands me)"
The first two verses were purely piano accompaniment.
The camera cut back and forth between Lin Chudong and Jing Feifei. Jing Feifei was wearing a white dress, completely shedding her usual rocker vibe. She looked like a sweet, delicate girl. The cameraman was practically shoving the lens in her face; she was probably the musician who got the most screen time in the entire show.
During the chorus, Lin Chudong's pick swept across the strings, and in the darkness, Jia Lu's drums kicked in.
"Forgive my life's uninhibited, unrestrained love for freedom, I am also afraid of falling one day... oh, no Who can abandon their ideals? Who would be afraid of only you and me one day!"
Da Fei's high notes and vibrato instantly ignited the audience.
Yang Han's high notes were piercing, but Da Fei's were just as strong, giving a feeling of hitting the soul.
At the end of the first verse, applause thundered.
The audience below were all captivated. Backstage, Liang Yin was sweating. Xiao Jing, come on!
Da Fei bringing Jing Feifei on stage this time felt a bit risky to her.
Xiao Jing is still a bit unreliable. She's like a time bomb; it's terrifying if she suddenly blows up.
