Chapter 122 Haidilao

Time flies and it is Friday.

With the broadcast of the tenth edited version of "New Era of Heavenly Group", the popularity about Bai Xingjian and Fenghuang Yufei on the Internet has reached a new height over time.

So much so that before the live broadcast of the two of them started at 8 o'clock tonight, the live broadcast section on Weibo, which was not very stable to begin with, was directly crashed by the influx of fans and netizens who came to join in the fun.

"What kind of rubbish platform is this? Even this can crash?"

Linjiang Normal University, in a girls' dormitory.

Wang Pei Ni yelled angrily and praised Weibo from the bottom of her heart.

I had been looking forward to the live broadcast for two days, but it crashed before I even started.

Who can bear this?
The three girls, Liu Yue, Luo Xi and Lai Jie, were also looking at the computer screen with helplessness on their faces.

"Wait a minute, the live broadcast hasn't started yet, so it should be in time."

"This is an old problem on Weibo. Why hasn't the official dealt with it yet?"

"Penny, hold the mouse in your right hand and keep clicking it, and press F5 with your left hand to refresh it."

Wang Pei Ni listened to her roommate and did as she was told. Finally, she squeezed into the live broadcast room just as the live broadcast began.

"Oh my God, I finally got in!"

……

"Hello~Hello~Can everyone hear the sound?"

Feng Shiqi was wearing a beige short-sleeved shirt and waved to everyone in front of the camera.

Exquisite facial features, clear eyes, fair skin, soft lips with a faint smile, she amazed countless people in the live broadcast room as soon as she appeared.

"As expected of Goddess Feng! She's so beautiful!"

“Why do I feel nervous even when I’m separated by a screen?”

"Goddess, goddess! Can you tell me what skin care products you use?"

"Can you also send me the link to the short-sleeved shirt?"

"Can you teach me how to grow like this?"

"Look at the legs."

Countless comments passed by, but everyone's attention was on Feng Shiqi. Bai Xingjian, who was sitting next to her, seemed to be completely ignored.

"Is there no one who greets me?" Bai Xingjian's voice rang out.

However, everyone only heard his voice but did not see him.

After a while.

Bai Xingjian moved his seat and sat to the right of Feng Shiqi.

Only then did he appear on the live broadcast screen.

"I'm a little rusty on this first live broadcast. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Bai Xingjian clasped his hands together and spoke apologetically.

Feng Shiqi chuckled on the side.

"Hahaha! Yoyo brother is so funny, a real comedian!"

"It's so effective."

“I can’t believe this is the man who wrote so many songs.”

"The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They are a perfect match."

"Exactly. This scene is like an old couple live streaming. It's so relaxing."

In front of the screen, Wang Pei Ni, Liu Yue and other girls were discussing and eating candies while laughing.

After such a period of time, they have become die-hard fans of Fenghuang Yufei.

Especially Bai Xingjian’s interaction on Weibo a few days ago, which even made them tend to become his only fans.

Fortunately, after seeing Feng Shiqi’s beautiful face today, the girls gave up the idea of ​​becoming her only fan.

Isn't it good for two people to like each other?

On the screen, Bai Xingjian's voice continued to sound.

"The reason for starting the live broadcast today is very simple. I just want to tell you something. But I will keep it a secret for now and will tell you later. So I will answer some of your questions now."

The number of people in the live broadcast room is increasing, and everyone is rushing to express their ideas.

"what's up?"

"Are you two going to make it official?!"

"You and Goddess Feng are not planning to quit the entertainment industry and go back to have children, right?!"

"I agree to this! Go ahead and give birth, and just remember to come back after you have five."

"No, no, no! The Chinese music scene cannot be without Brother Yoyo and Sister Shiqi!"

"That's right. I'm still waiting for you to pull me out from the bottom of the sea!"

Looking at these shocking comments, Feng Shiqi blinked.

The fans' imaginations are really big.

Chief Officer Ketang: "Brother Yoyo, do you and Sister Shiqi plan to sing the song "Trouble Maker" on the next stage?"

Bai Xingjian picked this question and replied: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for us two people who can't dance to sing this song?"

The fans were disappointed, and Bai Xingjian added: "Actually, I have a similar song in Chinese. If there is a chance, I should sing this song in the next live broadcast."

"Which song? How come I don't know it?" Feng Shiqi turned her head, a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes.

"Hahahaha, brother Yoyo you are really good at hiding!"

"Sister Lian Shiqi doesn't even know there is this song?"

"You did a great job keeping it a secret! Brother Yoyo, you will have a happy life in the future!"

Bai Xingjian smiled and replied: "Isn't it that I haven't had a chance to say it yet?"

Feng Shiqi blinked and didn't ask any further questions.

The Kite Chasing the Wind: "The styles of "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" and "In the Name of the Father" are quite similar. Currently, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" is very popular. Brother Yoyo, do you plan to release a studio version of this song in the near future?"

"Um……"

Bai Xingjian hesitated for a moment and said, "After the end of "The New Era of Heavenly Group", all the songs we sang on the show will have their studio versions released, so you may have to wait for a while."

"really?"

"Wow! This is awesome!"

"My brother and sister are awesome!!!"

……

"Brother Yoyo, the vinyl records and albums of In the Name of the Father are sold out. Will there be any restocks?"

"I'm a little unsure about this. I'll go ask later."

……

"Has Yoyo watched the "Happiness" duet that's been very popular on Bilibili recently? What do you think of their performance?"

“I have watched it, it’s pretty good. Audiences who haven’t watched it can also go and watch it.”

……

"Sister Shiqi..."

……

In this way, during the question-and-answer interaction, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi also mentioned that they would need fans' help in voting for tomorrow's live broadcast.

"Vote, vote, vote! I will definitely vote during the live broadcast tomorrow!"

"The Thorn Boys are indeed a tough nut to crack! Family members! Tomorrow it all depends on our performance!"

"So what if they have a lot of fans? We have a lot of fans too. Let's just do it!"

"Phoenix, let's charge!"

"Hahaha, tomorrow I'm going to call some old fans of GoldenCold to help vote."

"GoldenCold's ten-year-old fan came uninvited."

Coffee without ice: "So Yoyo brother and Shiqi sister, what song are you going to sing tomorrow?"

In response to this question, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other, then looked at the camera on the tablet and said, "Under the Sea."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bolt from the blue, and the live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

"What? You two are singing 'Under the Sea'?"

"No, tomorrow is a very competitive stage! I'm afraid it's not appropriate to sing the song "Under the Sea"?"

“It’s totally inappropriate!”

"That's right, how can you still vote when you're already singing about depression?"

"I think I know what yoyo brother meant by 'Haidilao' in the comments section a few days ago. He is planning to push us down and then pull us out!"

"Are you two serious?"

"Think twice!"

Looking at these comments, Bai Xingjian said with a smile: "The performance of Sister Shiqi and I tomorrow may not be the same as you imagined. You can look forward to it."

Bai Xingjian didn't say it directly, but kept it a secret.

The news that the two of them will sing "Under the Sea" tomorrow has spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and has reached the ears of many people, arousing everyone's curiosity.

Similar scenes also appeared in different places.

Several groups including Thorn Boys, GoldenCold, and Galaxy Girls also started live broadcasts today to canvass votes for tomorrow's competition.

The fight on the stage hadn't even started yet, but the smell of gunpowder had already spread outside the venue.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was noon of the next day.

Just at half past eleven, amid the anticipation of countless people, "The New Era of Heavenly Group" started its live broadcast.

Countless netizens flocked in, and the barrage of comments soon filled the screen.

"Sofa!"

"Why is the live broadcast starting so early today? Doesn't it start at twelve o'clock?"

“There must be some special sessions.”

"The Thorn Youth Group! Charge, charge, charge! Crush the Phoenix!"

"Crush it? Hehehe."

"The Phoenix Flying will be the biggest thorn that your youth group will face."

Unlike in the past, when the live broadcast started today, there was no Sanshui’s familiar opening remarks.

The live broadcast screen cut to a pure white room, where Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were sitting upright in their chairs.

"The live broadcast has begun. Say hello to everyone."

A female voice was heard. Although there was no picture of her, viewers familiar with the program knew that it was the voice of Chen Dantong, the director and editor in charge of the preparations for Phoenix Flying.

After Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi waved and greeted each other, Chen Dantong began her questioning.

"Today, facing the Thorn Youth Group, are you sure you can win this 1v1 match? If so, how confident are you?"

After hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately understood.

It turns out that this is the stage of making threats before the game!

And it’s real direct broadcast of harsh words.

interesting!
Bai Xingjian smiled slightly and said, "Of course I am sure. I believe in our stage, and I also believe in our fans."

"As for how confident I am, no more, no less, let's say 90%."

"Ninety percent? Are you so confident?" Chen Dantong's eyes widened.

"This kid is really brave!"

"You're just daydreaming here! Ninety percent? Why don't you say 100 percent?"

"Arrogant, this is too arrogant!"

"I've already memorized your arrogant expression. I hope your expression after you lose won't make us laugh out loud."

"Brother Xingjian, you are so handsome! It turns out that confident men are the most handsome!"

The live broadcast room immediately exploded, especially the fans of Thorn Boys, who were furious at Bai Xingjian's arrogant attitude.

Chen Dantong continued to ask: "I heard that you will sing "Under the Sea" on the stage today. I have heard Zhou Mo sing this song several times before. The mood in it is very low and sad. Why do you still want to sing it on such a competitive stage today?"

"This is also a point that many fans are confused about, but you are very confident?"

Facing this question, Bai Xingjian still did not give a direct answer, but smiled and said: "Words are hard to describe, why not see it with your own eyes, you will know it soon."

Such an answer made many viewers in the live broadcast room grit their teeth. However, while they were still venting their emotions, the camera followed Chen Dantong's back.

She came to another preparation room, where the seven members of the Thorn Youth Group were sitting there quietly.

After a brief greeting, Chen Dantong asked them, "Today you will face Fenghuang Yufei in a 1v1 match. How confident are you that you can win this match? Bai Xingjian just said that they are % confident that they can beat you."

Hearing this, the seven members of the Thorn Youth Group were stunned for a moment.

Ninety percent?

This is not treating the Thorn Youth Group as human beings!
Captain Chen Zhuohao sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid Bai Xingjian said the opposite. I think he is 90% sure that he will lose to us, right?"

In Chen Zhuohao's heart, Bai Xingjian is indeed a very great musician.

But today's competition is an online voting!
Their group, The Thorn Boys, has never lost in online voting.

It has always been!
So, they are not afraid at all today, okay?

"Ahhh! Haohao is so handsome!"

"It's really eyebrow-raising!"

"Haohao, don't worry and sing! We will be your solid backing!"

Chen Zhuohao twisted his wrist and said calmly, "Today, our Thorn Youth Group will be the first group to advance to the top five. As for Phoenix Yufei, I wish them to make it through the second round of the top four today."

Another member of the Thorn Youth Group, Su He, also looked at the camera and said:
"Don't think too much about the results of our Thorn Youth Team's competition. After Fenghuang Yufei loses, they can still continue to sell goods in the live broadcast room."

As soon as these two sentences were uttered, they immediately ignited the preparation room and the emotions of countless audiences.

"OhOhOh! Such cruel words!"

"You're really worthy of being Su He! Even his harsh words carry a punchline!"

"That's really cruel words! I wish Fenghuang Yufei next door could see it!"

"If Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi could see this, their faces would probably change!"

“So handsome, so handsome!”

"That's it! Just crush the Phoenix Yufei!"

The players naturally won’t know what’s going on in each group’s preparation room before the competition.

Today's "harsh words" segment is just to ignite the emotions of fans and add some gunpowder.

After all, these fans are going to vote today!

The other six groups' harsh words also followed Chen Dantong's footsteps and were seen by their fans one by one.

The comments in the live broadcast room were particularly tense.

……

"Welcome everyone to watch "New Era of Heavenly Group" sponsored by Jialan Organic Milk and co-hosted by Xinghuo Short Video and Mango TV. I am the host Tang Miao..."

The camera switched to the stage in the studio.

Amid the brilliant and colorful lights, Sanshui gave his opening remarks passionately.

Four groups of mentors stepped into the mentor seats one after another amid the applause and cheers of the audience.

"Today, we will have an elimination match from eight teams to the top five. The match is divided into two rounds. The first round is a 1v1 PK match between eight teams. The winners will advance and the losers will enter the second round."

Sanshui, who was wearing a neat suit, held the microphone and said in a serious tone: "The judges for the first round of competition are composed of four groups of mentors, 51 music producers and the audience watching the live broadcast in the live broadcast room."

The camera turned to the mentor seats and the judges seats where 51 music producers were located.

Many audience members were familiar with some of the musicians, and the audience would occasionally burst into uproar as the camera switched to close-ups.

"Okay, let's welcome our first group to perform today, the Thorn Boys!"

Sanshui's passionate and powerful voice rang out, and the seven members of the Thorn Boys Group walked out of the aisle and came to the stage with great momentum.

At the same time, the voting channel of the live broadcast room has also been opened.

Fans of each group started to work.

Especially the fans of Thorn Boys, their thousands of groups were filled with messages like "It's time to live, it's time to live" and "Hurry up and vote".

The total number of online votes was also displayed in real time on a screen at the edge of the stage.

The audience on site and the players in the preparation room can see it clearly.

Even though the Thorn Boys Group hasn't started singing yet, the total number of popularity votes has already reached over 30.

And the rate of increase is quite high. Many fans and netizens have actively participated in this voting.

The numbers that kept jumping up and down also shocked the audience and the contestants in the preparation room.

On the stage, the Thorn Boys Group has already started their performance.

They brought a more heartfelt song, the theme of which is about themselves and the future.

The logic of the lyrics is very clever, with some depth and a healing feeling. All seven members participated in it, and they were in good shape, which made many viewers feel refreshed.

"Wow! Today's stage was kind of heartwarming!"

"Steady, steady!"

"Phoenix is ​​flying, just wait to be eliminated!"

The fans of Thorn Boys were very excited, but the following voting session dealt them a big blow.

Among the four groups of mentors, only Gu Zetao and Qiao Xi voted, and among the 51 music producers, only 33 voted.

Therefore, the Thorn Boys received 35 votes on the spot.

"What's going on? Do these musicians really understand music?"

"Exactly. Our youth group sang so well, but they only got 35 votes? Are these musicians here to make fun of us?"

"Don't worry, families. Our advantage lies in online voting."

"It really made me laugh. For this song by Thorn Boys, 35 votes is too high in my opinion."

"NFNMDGP"

The live broadcast room was bustling with people, and the members of the Thorn Boys Group were quite surprised to see the voting results.

"It seems that the requirements for the music producer hired by the program team this time are a bit high."

"Who cares? Votes are calculated as percentages. We're not in a hurry."

"Once the online vote is announced, we will definitely win."

In the passage back to the preparation room, the members of the Thorn Boys were discussing.

Although the number of votes in the on-site voting was not high, they did not take it to heart, as online voting is their home turf.

Moreover, the song sung by Fenghuang Yufei was "Under the Sea", a song full of depressing emotions and negative energy. How many votes could it get?
"The online voting data will be announced after all groups have finished their performances."

On the stage, Sanshui said in a clear voice: "Next, please welcome the rival group of the Thorn Boys Group, Fenghuang Yufei!"

Amid the applause and cheers of the audience, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi came to the stage together.

Just like the last episode, the two of them were dressed in a suit and a long skirt respectively.

The only difference is that this time, the color of Bai Xingjian's suit is dark blue, while Feng Shiqi's long skirt is klein blue.

"With your looks and figures, why are you two still singing? Just go walk on the catwalk."

"You can obviously make a living with your looks, but you insist on relying on your talent, and it seems like your talent is maxed out."

"The combination of Phoenix and Flying is outrageous!"

"You two are really going to sing Under the Sea, dressed in blue!"

The appearance of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi caused a lot of discussion.

【seabed】

【Singer: Phoenix in Flight】

【Lyrics: Bai Xingjian】

【Composition: Bai Xingjian】

【Arranger: Bai Xingjian】

As soon as the song information appeared, the audience was speechless.

During this period, the song "Under the Sea" sung by Zhou Mo became very popular on the Internet.

Among the people in the studio, only a few had never heard of this song.

So, everyone knows that "Under the Sea" is a very depressing and suffocating song, but Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are actually going to sing this song on the stage today. Don't they want the tickets?
With such questions in mind, countless eyes fell on the two people on the stage.

In a hotel room far away in Beijing, Zhou Mo and Zhou Ziwen also sat in front of the computer, watching the live broadcast quietly.

The stage lights gradually dimmed and then turned into a faint blue light.

The show started with soft piano music, and ripples appeared on the floor beneath Feng Shiqi's feet.

Then a little bit of string resonance is added, and then the piano begins to play a continuous melody.

The cold feeling gradually turned into warmth at this moment.

Right from the start, the melody and atmosphere are completely different from the original "Under the Sea".

A very heavy yet restrained drum beat sounded, and the screen behind the stage lit up quietly. Deep blue waves surged out as if something had fallen into the sea, splashing waves.

The violin sound faded away, and the piano sounded again. Feng Shiqi also raised the microphone and sang:
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds"

“Hiding from the crowd”

"The scales that form the sea"

"The waves wet your white skirt and try to push you back"

Her voice is ethereal and gentle, without the world-weariness of the original version. It's like someone at the beach, singing this song facing the sea.

But after hearing this, everyone still feels the sad and mournful emotions in this song.

It’s time to be emo again, sis!
"The waves sing a lullaby to warm you"

"Listen to the deep sea and hear whose cries are guiding you"

"The soul sinks into silence"

"No one wakes you up"

Feng Shiqi's voice was still gentle, and it also carried a hint of comfort.

"Goddess Feng's voice is very nice, but I really can't listen to such depressing songs. Everyone, please step back!"

"I can't listen either. Wait for me to leave together!"

"The lyrics seem to have changed? If I remember correctly, the original version seemed to be 'the waves wash away the blood', but here it has become 'the waves sing a lullaby'!"

"Compared to the original version, they have changed the arrangement today, and the lyrics have also changed, but I wonder if the overall mood will change?"

"What? There are changes? Then let me listen again."

"Then I'll just hold back. Today's version of 'Under the Sea' doesn't seem as sad as the original."

The audience was fascinated by the performance and netizens in the live broadcast room were having lively discussions.

While Gu Zetao's team was preparing for the battle, the members of the Thorn Youth Group also showed teasing expressions on their faces.

Singing a sad song on the competitive stage, Fenghuang Yufei probably doesn't know how to write the word "lose".

But the next second, when Bai Xingjian's voice rang out, the expressions on their faces suddenly froze.

On the stage, accompanied by the sound of dripping and flowing sea water, a beam of light fell on Bai Xingjian. He raised the microphone and sang devoutly.

"You like the salty smell of the sea breeze"

"Walking on wet gravel"

"You said people should return to the sea."

“You asked me where I missed going back to.”

"Does anyone love you?"

“Can the world no longer exist?”

The sound of Sanskrit entered the sea and began to bring hope.

Many audience members at the scene widened their eyes, with expressions of surprise emerging on their faces.

"Fuck! Yoyo brother's voice!"

“Isn’t this the Sanskrit rap that we sang with Queen Lin when we sang ‘Above the Moon’? It’s happening again today!”

"Oh my god! This Sanskrit sound gives me a feeling of saving all living beings!"

"I seemed to suddenly see a beam of light at the bottom of the sea!"

"Haidilao! Brother Yoyo is fishing at the bottom of the sea for me!"

"Luckily I didn't leave!!!"

The live broadcast room exploded, and countless barrages filled the screen like snowflakes.

The feeling that Bai Xingjian's Sanskrit rap brings to the audience is no longer the suffocating feeling of being at the bottom of the sea, but that the sea suddenly becomes vast and full of charm.

This may be the charm of music.
