Chapter 120 The Waves of "Under the Sea"
"It's broken, it's broken!"

In the backstage center, Hong Yang looked at the live broadcast data displayed on the screen, his face flushed with excitement, and he stood up directly from his seat.

"Bai Xingjian! Feng Shiqi! You two are awesome! The number of people online, the number of barrages, the popularity, all have been broken by you!"

Hong Yang clenched his hands in front of him, trying his best to suppress his excitement.

The camera operator Li Yue was nodding his head at this time. He was very happy to listen to the song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" sung by Fenghuang Yufei today.

Director Lao Lin smiled and looked at Hong Yang: "Director Hong, today is the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and it's such a happy event, shouldn't we celebrate it properly?"

"Celebrate! This must be celebrated!"

Hong Yang looked back at the people in the backstage center and spoke in a hurried and powerful voice: "The plan to go to Nan'an Villa tonight remains unchanged. Tomorrow we will take a yacht to the Changsong River for a tour. Family members can be brought along!"

As soon as these words came out, cheers broke out in the backstage center.

"Director Hong is awesome!"

"Director Hong, I love you!"

"The Phoenix is ​​flying and will die!"

It was very lively here, but the scene in the studio was unusually quiet.

Until a moment later, the applause broke out like thunder on a summer night, far surpassing any previous performance.

The sound waves at the scene were like an overwhelming tidal wave, shocking every contestant in the preparation room and the audience in front of the screen.

"Absolutely! It's worthy of being written by Yoyo-kun!"

"It sounds good. It sounds really good!"

"Like "In the Name of the Father", listening to "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" is like watching a movie. It has a strange beauty."

"Brother Yoyo, I'll give you the pen. Go write the script and make a movie!"

"I thought Bai Xingjian's rap was already great, but I didn't expect him to sing the chorus in the last part with a high note. I was so shocked that I dropped my sanitary napkin!"

"Is this the Hexagonal Warrior?"

"Indeed! Bai Xingjian's chorus at the end is so cool, it's like a rat eating a cow's ass - rat eating cow's ass."

“Although Goddess Feng only sang a few lyrics today, her voice is so beautiful!”

"It's over! The melody of this song has been lingering in my mind. I have to send in my liberal arts exam this afternoon."

"It's only one o'clock now. I can probably sleep for half an hour before taking the exam. Everyone, I'm leaving first!"

……

Gu Zetao's team's preparation room.

Wang Yaqi had nothing to say.

Today's song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" is undoubtedly another shocking song. Not only the song is shocking, but even Bai Xingjian on the stage is shocking.

When Wang Yaqi heard the chorus sung by Bai Xingjian just now, she couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.

This feeling can probably only be described as astonishing.

Li Zhenxi's expression at this time was also very complicated.

He felt that Bai Xingjian had really become a huge, insurmountable mountain standing in front of him, making him feel suffocated.

Li Zhenxi took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "With such a strong creative talent, was Bai Xingjian blessed by a god?"

The Thorn Youth Group on the side was also discussing.

"Holy crap, with such a huge reaction from the audience, they're not going to get more votes than us, are they?"

"It's possible. After all, this song is really nice."

"Bai Xingjian is truly a genius. His song is unmatched by ours."

"Captain Chen, you don't rate him so highly, do you?"

The members of the Thorn Youth Group all looked at the captain who had just spoken, Chen Zhuohao.

"You don't write songs, so you can't feel the details in this song. It's no exaggeration to say that this song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" has gone beyond the scope of ordinary pop songs. It's no exaggeration to call it a work of art."

Chen Zhuohao said with great emotion, then smiled and said, "Fenghuang Yufei actually sang this song today. This is something we should be thankful for. After all, if they sang this song at an important point in the competition, no one would be able to take the victory away from them."

After hearing what the captain said, the members of the Thorn Youth Group felt awe-inspiring.

Wang Yaqi's expression at this time was also quite complicated.

……

“Thank you Fenghuang Yufei for the wonderful performance!”

On the stage, Sanshui's passionate and cheerful voice was heard.

After wonderful comments from the four groups of mentors, it was time for the thrilling voting session.

The voting results will be out soon.

Phoenix in Flight: 795 votes.

A super high number of votes. Among the 801 audience members, only 6 people did not vote for Fenghuang Yufei.

Fenghuang Yufei successfully surpassed the Thorn Boys Group and temporarily became the number one on the list.

"Oh my god! This number of votes is too high!"

In the Lin Qingying team's preparation room, Tang Tang stared at the broadcast screen with his eyes wide open.

"This support rate is really high." Le Yan said in surprise.

"Brother Xingjian is truly amazing!" Su Liang exclaimed.

"The number of qualifying spots has been reduced by one." Huang Hai counted on his fingers.

Four popular groups have appeared since the start of the live broadcast. Judging from the number of votes, these four groups are definitely sure to advance, so there are still four spots left for advancement.

If this trend continues, the situation facing the band Legend will be quite precarious.

On the stage, after Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi left the stage, the big screen started to jump again.

The camera is focused on the contestants of the four major teams who are preparing but have not yet performed on stage.

Except for the roadblock drift combination who were wearing helmets, the facial expressions of the other contestants were quite solemn.

Because no one wants to perform after Phoenix Flies.

It's too easy to end up with a dull situation.

Although all the contestants thought so, there was always one group that had to perform on stage next.

The big screen stopped ticking, and the words [Black Tiger] and a photo of the members appeared in front of everyone.

This is a group from Xu Wenzhou's team, and like Legend, it is a band.

Their strength was very good and there was no dull atmosphere at the scene because of Fenghuang Yufei's heart-stirring performance just now.

A passionate and exciting rock song continues to stir the audience's emotions.

The final number of votes was not bad, 765 votes.

Although this number of votes ranks last on the list, we cannot blame the Black Tiger band. We can only blame the fact that the previous four groups were indeed difficult to surpass.

The group following the Black Tiger Band is September Morning, from the Birds and Fish Team.

They also performed well and received 761 votes.

Surprisingly, the next groups, Keqila and Qiuye, made some small mistakes, which made many viewers sigh.

The mentors of the two teams, Xu Wenzhou, Qiao Xi and Su Ning, couldn't help but show surprised expressions when their group members made mistakes.

Why are you suddenly coming to this important meeting today?

The final voting results were not ideal, with Keqila only receiving 635 votes and Akiba receiving 681 votes.

Such a result left fans of the two groups speechless.

"Really? I waited for you guys for so long, and you ended up pooping a big pile of shit for me?"

"I didn't expect you to make mistakes on such an important stage today. You two are truly a perfect match!"

"With this number of votes... is there anything else to look at? As long as the Legend combination of Lin Qingying's team doesn't make any mistakes, they will definitely advance."

"Two great philanthropists, willing to make their own team suffer even more in order to help other teams gain more success."

"Really, such a kind heart makes me cry!"

"With this attitude towards your performance, you are only fit to participate in the resurrection match."

The screen was filled with comments expressing disappointment and mockery.

Just as netizens thought, Legend band did not make any mistakes on stage today, and the rock song they performed also received 758 votes.

It was a close call and ranked eighth on the list.

The seventh is the Roadblock Drift combination of Gu Zetao's team, and their votes are 760.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You and Feng Shiqi's stage successfully ranked first! ]

[Task Reward: Blind Box of the Work*1, Attribute Points*6]

After the ticket count for the last performance stage was announced, Bai Xingjian saw the prompt message on the panel.

At this moment, the atmosphere on their side was very lively.

The three members of the legend band who successfully advanced to the top eight are already very happy.

"I thought I was going to be eliminated today, but I didn't expect to advance to the quarterfinals!"

Le Yan's face was filled with a smile of overwhelming joy.

"It's really God's blessing!" Su Liang also grinned and laughed.

"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied. I won't have any regrets if I'm eliminated next week as I can advance to the quarterfinals." Huang Hai also had a smile on his face.

The atmosphere in Gu Zetao's team's preparation room was the same.

Their situation was the same as Lin Qingying's team. All three combinations stayed and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

On the contrary, in the preparation room of Xu Wenzhou Team and Feiniaoyuyu Team, there was a feeling of "snowflakes fluttering and north wind howling".

There is only one combination left in each of these two teams.

The other two groups were currently giving their farewell speeches on the stage.

"Hahaha, what are Xu Wenzhou, Qiao Xi, and Suning going to do now? There's only one child left in the family."

"On the other hand, Gu Zetao and Lin Qingying's teams both have three more combinations. I'm afraid the production team didn't expect this situation, right?"

"Xu Wenzhou, Qiao Xi, and Suning were thinking: Get off work! What the hell is this?!"

"So today's live broadcast will end in less than two hours?"

"It shouldn't be that soon, right? I don't believe Sanshui won't announce the competition rules for the next live broadcast today."

Netizens are talking a lot.

Keqila and the Akiba team also quickly said their farewell speeches and left the stage.

Sanshui held up the cue card and said loudly: "After today's fierce competition, the top eight groups of 'New Era of Heavenly Group' have been born. Let's welcome them back to the stage with warm applause!"

As soon as the words were spoken, cheers broke out from the audience.

The eight groups from the four major mentor teams returned to the stage one after another.

After the contestants stood still, Sanshui held up the microphone and said, "Next, I will announce the rules for the next live broadcast, the competition for the top eight groups to the top five."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.

The familiar feeling is back!
Can we advance from eight to five?

Program team, are you serious?
"Oh my god! What's going on? Is the production team going to do such a big thing?"

"666!"

"Only two groups were eliminated today, but three groups will be eliminated in the next episode. Does the production team want Xu Wenzhou, Qiao Xi and their team to be wiped out?"

"Fuck! It would be hilarious if we were to be wiped out."

The live broadcast room was in an uproar, with countless netizens expressing their emotions.

Many contestants on the stage couldn't help but open their mouths in shock.

Eight to five?
What a big game!

However, the surprise did not stop there. Sanshui continued in a loud voice: "Next, there will be a 1v1 duel, and the opponent will be decided by the contestant himself."

The players were stunned. 1v1? 1v1 at this time?

"How to 1v1 in the top eight?"

"Right? Aren't there going to be 1 out of the eight 1v4 teams? Who will get the remaining spot?"

"It's easy. Eight teams will play four 8v1 matches. Four teams will advance first. Then the four teams that lost the 1v4 matches will compete against each other for the last promotion spot."

"Oh shit! Bro is awesome! His words woke me up." Netizens in the live broadcast room were discussing.

However, Sanshui did not continue to announce the rules, but walked to the center of the stage.

Here, there is a cylinder made of stacked Jialan organic milk, with eight boxes of milk placed on the top.

Sanshui looked at the contestants and said, "At the bottom of these eight boxes of Jialan organic milk, there are number labels from 1 to 4. Next, each group will send a representative to select a box of milk in order according to their ranking on today's leaderboard."

"The rules are simple. Two groups with the same numbers will become opponents in the next round of 1v1 competition."

Amid the complicated looks of the contestants, Sanshui looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi and said, "Please invite the number one on today's leaderboard, Fenghuang Yufei, to send a representative to draw your number."

Bai Xingjian came to the center of the stage and randomly picked a box of milk.

"Show it to everyone." Sanshui reminded gently.

Bai Xingjian took a look at it himself, then raised his hand and faced the bottom of the milk carton towards the audience.

Number 1.

"Interesting, really interesting."

"If we choose like this, it's very likely that players from the same team will hurt each other!"

"Indeed! It will be hilarious if Galaxy Girl or Legend also draws the number 1."

"It doesn't necessarily mean that they are hurting each other. In fact, it can be said that they are being sent home as a gift."

"I'd rather see GoldenCold draw 1, that would be fun."

"Come to think of it, GoldenCold and Fenghuang Yufei have been participating in the show for such a long time, but it seems that they have never had a head-on PK. How about doing it this time?"

Many viewers were quietly discussing this method of drawing lots.

"Please invite the Thorn Youth Group to draw your numbers."

After the Phoenix Flying, it was naturally the Thorn Boys Group, and the captain Chen Zhuohao stepped out from the team.

Before leaving, the other members said:
"Captain Chen, don't worry about drawing."

"That's right, we're not afraid of anyone."

"Just do it!"

The effect was very good and caused the audience to burst into laughter.

The other contestants were secretly hoping, "Why don't you draw the number 1?"

Chen Zhuohao came to the place where the lottery was drawn and without hesitation, he randomly picked a milk carton.

When he picked it up and took a look, his eyes suddenly widened.

The reason is simple: Chen Zhuohao drew the number 1.

When he showed the result, the scene became quite exciting.

The live broadcast room was even more lively, with an avalanche of comments filling the entire screen.

"Wang Defa! This is going to be a decisive battle on top of the Forbidden City!"

"The finals will be held ahead of schedule?"

"666! The Thorn Youth Group actually faced off against Phoenix Yufei! Awesome!"

"It's truly a peak showdown!"

"Are there not all these milk cartons with the number 1 on the bottom?"

……

Seeing this result, the other contestants were all happy and excited.

They didn't want to face Fenghuang Yufei and the Thorn Youth Group.

Now that these two groups have digested the situation internally, it is naturally a very wonderful thing.

Well done!

The members of the Thorn Youth Group were also surprised when they saw the result.

Just thinking about what they just said, they didn't show any inappropriate expressions.

Although some people do not want to face Fenghuang Yufei, it does not mean that they are really afraid of Fenghuang Yufei.

Now that they are facing each other, let’s see who is stronger!

The members of the Thorn Youth Group were aggressive and their eyes were full of fighting spirit when they looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

Bai Xingjian was calm and composed. As long as the production team didn't organize any online voting in the next episode, there shouldn't be any problem competing with the Thorny Boys Group.

Feng Shiqi didn't feel nervous at all. On this show, she just had to focus on singing A Jian's songs.

Don't worry about other things.

The drawing process ended quickly and the eight groups each found their opponents.

Phoenix Yufei VS Thorn Boys Group.

GoldenColdVSBlack Tiger Band.

Galaxy Girl VS Roadblock Drift.

September morning VS legend band.

There was no internal harm within the team.

However, faced with such a drawing situation, the mentors in the mentor seats had different expressions.

The main problem is Xu Wenzhou. He has a feeling that his team will be wiped out in the next round.

"Okay, the draw is over, and all the teams have found their opponents."

Sanshui looked at the instructors' seat and said loudly, "Faced with this kind of battle situation, do you have any suggestions?"

"Teacher Lin Qingying, what do you think?"

The camera cuts to Lin Qingying, who says with a smile: "No matter who your opponent is, just do your best. I hope to see you bring a wonderful performance next week."

Xu Wenzhou also said something similar: "Go all out and prepare well!"

The same is true for Gu Zetao.

Only Qiao Xi was a little sentimental: "Come on, girls! I don't want to be alone in the next episode!"

The straightforward but emotional words made many audience members laugh.

Suning still did not change his habit: "Xixi is right."

The live broadcast has come to an end here.

After Sanshui finished his closing remarks, the live broadcast of the tenth episode of "New Era of Heavenly Group" officially ended.

Shortly after the live broadcast ended, some things about today's live broadcast also became a hot topic on Weibo.

However, there is no stage video broadcast yet, so people are not discussing the stage much. The most popular topic at the moment is the issue of Fenghuang Yufei and the Thorn Boys Group becoming 1v1 opponents.

Many netizens participated in the discussion of the relevant Weibo topic, and the main force among them was the fans of the two sides.

Just as they were discussing it, it was eight o'clock that evening.

The latest episode of "I Am a Singer" has started airing.

……

Xiao Hu is a female college student who failed the postgraduate entrance examination for the second time. Her scores this year had already passed the national line, but there was still a certain gap between her and the university she applied for.

Therefore, she failed the postgraduate entrance examination again as she did not want to be transferred.

Now, she rents a room in the staff community of her target university and is preparing for World War III.

But for some reason, Xiao Hu suddenly couldn't muster the energy to review these days. He didn't want to read books, memorize words, or recite formulas.

She felt that everything she did now seemed to be meaningless.

She did not go home during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, but pretended to be in good condition and called her parents via video.

After ending the call, Xiao Hu sighed and lay down on the bed.

An indescribable feeling of helplessness was tearing at her.

"Boom!"

A notification sounded, and Xiao Hu picked up her phone and saw that the show "I Am a Singer" that she was following had been updated.

She clicked on the video according to the notification, then adjusted the position of her pillow and lay on the bed to watch it.

"Not nice."

"Not nice."

“It still doesn’t sound good.”

"Why are all the songs in this episode so bad?"

After watching for more than half an hour, Xiao Hu spoke in a gloomy mood.

"A song with a [Depression] theme?"

"I hope I can fight poison with poison."

When it was Zhou Mo's turn to perform, Xiao Hu suddenly felt a little excited.

Then, she saw "Under the Sea" and related song information.

At this time, there were more and more comments on the screen.

"High energy ahead!"

“A song for people suffering from depression.”

“A song that really sank to the bottom of the ocean!”

"Please stay strong, everyone!"

"Happy people should never listen to this song!"

"Bai Xingjian is such a great writer!"

"Bai Xingjian..."

Many people mentioned Bai Xingjian in the barrage.

Xiao Hu was a little confused. She just saw that Bai Xingjian was the creator of "Under the Sea", so what?

Is this guy awesome? So many comments mentioned him.

Xiao Hu didn't have the energy to find out who Bai Xingjian was, because the song "Under the Sea" had already started.

The ethereal piano caught her attention.

When Zhou Mo's voice sounded, Xiao Hu could sense a sense of world-weariness.

Suffocation, depression, and helplessness gradually invaded her heart as the song went on.

However, Xiao Hu seemed to have found a way to vent her emotions in the singing. Although tears kept flowing from her eyes, she felt a lot more comfortable.

The emotions that had been pent up in my heart these days seemed to be released at this moment.

“So, am I a little depressed?”

Xiao Hu sniffed, let out a long breath, got up and wiped his tear-stained face with toilet paper.

In different places under the same sky, many people's state when they heard "Under the Sea" was no different from Xiao Hu's.

Although this song is very depressing, for them, this kind of depression is just right, allowing them to find a place to express their emotions.

However, there are also many people who were really depressed by this depressing song.

Everyone took to Weibo to express their feelings.

Not long after, the official video clip of Zhou Mo singing "Under the Sea" became a hot search topic among many netizens who came to discuss it.

At the same time, Bai Xingjian, the creator of "Under the Sea", also appeared on the hot search list.

"Suffocating, Momo's singing is so suffocating!"

"It makes me want to cry."

"The song is worthy of its title "Under the Sea"! It's like sinking to the bottom of the sea, with no hope in sight. Bai Xingjian can write songs!"

"Brother Yoyo is really thoughtful. Thank you for your contribution to people with depression. I have a friend who likes this song "Under the Sea" very much. Thank you!"

"It turns out there are still people who understand me. Thank you, Bai Xingjian."

"Everyone is still alive despite this pain, so I should be able to hold on for a while."

Netizens discussed the matter on the official video’s Weibo, and many people also found Bai Xingjian’s Weibo and left messages on it.

Suddenly, a wave of discussion about "Under the Sea" began to surge on Weibo.
