Chapter 123 I Don't Believe I Will Be Eliminated
in front of the screen.

Zhou Mo was lost in thought as she watched Bai Xingjian singing.

The same song can express completely different feelings. Is this his charm?
Hearing Bai Xingjian's special voice, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

The light that fell on Bai Xingjian really gave people a feeling of Buddha's light shining upon them!

Tutor's seat.

Gu Zetao opened his mouth, his emotions surging like waves, and finally turned into two silent words: "Oh my God."

He had heard Zhou Mo's "Under the Sea", so he was very clear about the difference between the two.

Bai Xingjian's performance today simply sublimated the song. The emotions in the song changed directly, and it was a change that touched the heart.

This guy is such a genius.

While everyone was still expressing their feelings for Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi walked over to Bai Xingjian's side.

"Always smiles at cool people"

“People on the shore have nothing to do with their faces.”

"A flash in the pan"

"Everything turns to smoke"

Her voice became more and more tender, as if the sun was shining.

The arrangement suddenly became passionate at this moment, with drums, synthesizers, and strings playing at the same time, as if roaring out from the turbulent seabed.

Bai Xingjian held up the microphone and continued to rap:
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds and gazed at the crowd"

"Our lonely hearts are sometimes like the bottom of the sea"

“Sadness cannot be felt in a few words”

This verse is very well written and contains a lot of profound meaning, especially the line "Sadness cannot be felt in just a few words", which has two perspectives.

From a subjective perspective, if I am a depressed patient, people around me may not be able to understand my pain through simple words.

From an objective perspective, I am an ordinary person, and it may be really difficult for me to understand the pain of a person with depression through just a few words.

So, what to do?

The following lyrics are all about answering this question.

Bai Xingjian's voice continued to ring out.

"Tears are silent but I want to hold you tight"

"You are an important being and someone's star"

"When you're alone, you say being loved is just a fluke"

"Child, please don't forget"

"There was a warm voice calling your name"

“You asked me where the road would lead.”

"The road leads to me waiting for you"

This verse is the core paragraph of this version of "Under the Sea" and is very heartwarming.

If you are suffering from depression, you must understand that you are not alone. There is a lot of warmth around you and there is always someone waiting for you in the world.

The tone of the entire song also began to change drastically here.

The world suddenly becomes worthwhile!

"Vocal! Now I know what Yoyo meant by fishing it out from the bottom of the sea."

"The previous "Under the Sea" was depressing, but now it is pure healing!"

"This is such a wonderfully written poem! It's full of vitality! It also brings out the meaning and hope of life!"

"【The road leads to you, I'll wait for you】, I'm really going to cry after hearing this from Yoyo-ge!"

"So gentle and warm!"

"I'm about to cry because of Yoyo-kun's warmth!"

The audience was all shocked, and it was because of listening to Zhou Mo singing "Under the Sea" that everyone felt the current version of "Under the Sea" was so precious.

After all, there is no harm without comparison. If only the song "Under the Sea" sung by Fenghuang Yufei was presented to the public, it would definitely not have the same effect as it does now.

You may just think like this -

Hmm? Why is the mood of this song so weird, with highs and lows?

But with Zhou Mo's singing of "Under the Sea" as a prelude, there is no such concern.

Zhou Mo, who was watching the live broadcast in front of the screen, also understood this.

She raised her eyebrows, and a few strange colors flashed across her eyes.

Oh my god, I am being treated as a tool!
However, can there be more opportunities to be a tool like this?
I don't mind at all, okay?

on the stage.

After Bai Xingjian put down the microphone, the music suddenly paused, and then the drums and piano sounded, and Feng Shiqi's heart-touching voice rang out.

"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds"

"Sneak into the seabed avoiding the crowd"

"There is light looking for you and it wants to warm you"

"She said listen, listen, someone is calling you back."

As soon as the word "scatter" came out, there was a feeling of clearing away the clouds and mist, and the mood of the whole song became warmer and warmer.

"Always smiles at cool people"

"The faces of the people on the shore are all covered with light and darkness"

"Year after year in the world"

"Who dares to say Ruyan"

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi began their first chorus of the day, a four-sentence bridge that paved the way for the most emotional part of the entire song.

The arrangement is still based on drums and strings, and at this moment, the drums and strings become passionate again, changing key in a very short rhythm.

Then, with countless listeners staring intently, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sang loudly:

"It's too late, it's too late"

"You laughed and cried"

"It's too late, it's too late"

“I want to sing for you, too.”

The sound of a phoenix rang out from the bottom of the sea, and the emotions in the song were completely sublimated and full of power.

If you listen carefully, when the two people sing "Too Late", there is a sound effect similar to a falling meteor. From this moment on, the sense of space in the song's artistic conception begins to expand further.

The overall accompaniment of this section is also mainly composed of drums and string groups, and the role of both is to increase the grandeur of the song.

Coupled with the cooperation of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's high and low parts, the momentum of the climax of the whole song becomes extremely magnificent, just like the vastness of the world, the high mountains and the long rivers.

It is for these reasons that Phoenix Legend's version of "Under the Sea" makes everyone feel as if they have been "fished out of the bottom of the sea" after listening to it.

"Spring rain and summer cicadas"

"It will be a nice day tomorrow"

"The autumn wind blows and the snowflakes lightly"

“You can’t see the four seasons under the sea”

These four lines of lyrics are very infectious. What one feels in "Under the Sea" is no longer despair and suffocation, but the expectation for another vast world and the future.

The warm song gradually ended here, but the warm emotions still lingered in the hearts of countless people.

"There's still time for everything. We just went for a swim in the seabed."

"Yes! There's still time for everything!"

"Successfully landed! Thank you Haidilao from Phoenix!"

"Haidilao, Haidilao. How about the version sung by Phoenix be called 'Haidilao'?"

"I agree!"

……

Gu Zetao's team's preparation room.

After listening to this song, the members of Thorn Boys fell silent.

"I have a bad feeling."

"Compared to Phoenix Flying, the songs we sing are like children playing house."

"We're not really going to lose to them, are we? No?"

"What are you thinking? We have tens of millions of fans. How can Phoenix Yufei compare to us?"

"And even if we lose, so what? There's still one more round. I don't believe that our Thorn Boys Group will be eliminated today."

The Thorn Boys no longer have the confidence they had before about winning, but they are still very confident, after all, there is online voting today.

Other teams’ preparation room.

"Fortunately, I didn't fight against Fenghuang Yufei. This move was too cruel."

"Yes! Two songs of 'Under the Sea', one is depressed and the other is up. Whoever touches them will die!"

"What do you think? If the Thorn Boys lose to Phoenix Yufei in a 1v1 match, will their fans be furious?"

"There's no need to be upset. Unless the Thorn Boys lose in the second round, there will definitely be something exciting to watch today."

"Oh, the Thorn Youth Group was completely bullied when they made it to the second round. Their online voting absolutely crushed us."

"This result is not bad. At least we can sing two songs today. Although there is no tomorrow, there are no regrets."

……

Tutor's seat.

Before the voting, several mentors will make some comments on the contestants' performances as usual.

Lin Qingying was the first to comment. She was deeply touched and took a deep breath before picking up the microphone and saying:

"I have listened to both versions of 'Under the Sea'. Zhou Mo's version is sad and mournful, expressing a deep sense of decadence and despair. The lyrics and music you two sang today are full of warmth and have a surging vitality. They are some hope that there is still time, like the rebirth of the phoenix."

“You two are awesome!”

Lin Qingying gave the two of them a thumbs up, and Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi smiled and nodded in response.

The audience in the audience applauded, this is how it felt!

“But I’m a little worried at the moment.”

Under the gazes of many puzzled people, Lin Qingying looked at Bai Xingjian and asked:
"Bai Xingjian, you are an excellent creator. It is no exaggeration to say that you are a musical genius. But everyone knows that geniuses always think differently from ordinary people. Is the song "Under the Sea" a reflection of your inner thoughts?"

Lin Qingying asked very tactfully, but many people could understand what she meant.

——Are you suffering from depression?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention shifted to Bai Xingjian, and even Feng Shiqi turned to look at him.

While Gu Zetao's team was preparing for the battle, Wang Yaqi's heart was also in suspense.

In response to this question, Bai Xingjian just smiled and said, "Everyone can rest assured that I don't have depression because I am not alone."

Bai Xingjian raised his finger and pointed at Feng Shiqi, his meaning was clear.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, he continued: "The song "Under the Sea" is also intended to make everyone pay more attention to this group and have more understanding and tolerance towards them.

Of course, there is also ourselves. In this stressful era, everyone has more or less depression tendencies. When we have this tendency, we must not ignore it, we cannot hold it in ourselves, we must find someone to talk to, and we must walk out of the room and see the outside world.

The world is actually beautiful, you are important, and we are all here for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience applauded unconsciously.

"I thought Yoyo was just trying to show off his affection, but I didn't expect him to be so sincere."

"He's quite right. If you hold it in, it's easy to get into trouble."

"This is when the importance of friends comes into play! I have a friend who is so stupid that I can't even feel depressed when I'm around him."

"What about people who don't have friends?"

"It's okay, you still have us! Come on, add us as a friend!"

Netizens in the live broadcast room expressed their opinions one after another.

……

"Well, that's good. I feel relieved then." Lin Qingying said with a smile.

When it was Xu Wenzhou's turn to comment, he smiled and said, "Although both are called "Under the Sea", they are two completely different songs. You are really good at composing! I will vote for you!"

The contestants in the preparation room were very envious after hearing this, especially the Thorn Boys Group.

Gu Zetao then commented: "Fanyin rap is great! I like it very much! I hope we can have a chance to communicate in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people at the scene showed surprised expressions on their faces, and the eyes of several members of the Thorn Boys Group almost widened.

Want to communicate?

Is this really what the mentor said to the contestant? What kind of person would use this phrase?

People at the same level.

But the current situation is that Gu Zetao, as a mentor, actually asked Bai Xingjian, a contestant, to communicate with him?
Has the ability that Bai Xingjian has demonstrated now enabled him to cross the gap between contestant and mentor?

It seems really possible.

After all, this guy caused quite a stir on the show.

Countless viewers thought so, and Bai Xingjian himself was a little surprised. He nodded and said, "Okay."

"Just one word 'good'?"

"What else? What else do you want Yoyo-ge to say?"

"This guy's ability to remain calm in the face of adversity is quite amazing!"

"Hahaha! I like it!"

"So did you vote for Phoenix Flying?"

"Throw, throw, throw! Throwing!"

Netizens were discussing Bai Xingjian's reaction.

After the mentors’ comments session, the voting session began.

The voting results will be out soon.

Phoenix in Flight: 48 votes.

All four groups of mentors voted, and only seven of the 4 musicians did not vote, which is considered an extremely high number of votes.

Applause suddenly broke out and the audience was very satisfied with the result.

The online voting information will be announced after all groups have finished their performances. At this moment, the total voting data displayed in real time on the screen has reached more than 9 million, a very scary number.

"Oh my god, their votes are so high."

"Why do we feel like we're in danger?"

"It doesn't matter. In the end, it all depends on the online vote."

"But I feel like the number of votes for Fenghuang Yufei in the online voting won't necessarily be lower than ours."

"Then we're screwed!"

After seeing the voting result, the members of the Thorn Boys Group suddenly felt that today's 1v1 was a little risky.

……

The groups appeared one after another.

Before long, the remaining six groups had all finished their performances.

At this time, all contestants returned to the stage and waited for the announcement of the online voting numbers.

"The online voting channel has been closed, please look at the big screen." Sanshui's voice sounded.

Everyone's eyes turned to the big screen behind the stage.

A table appeared in front of everyone, with the headings being the group name, number of on-site votes, number of online votes, and total number of votes.

There are clear numbers on the number of votes cast on site.

Phoenix in Flight: 48 votes.

The Thorn Boys: 35 votes.

GoldenCold: 45 votes.

Black Tiger Band: 48 votes.

Galaxy Girl: 37 votes.

Roadblock Drift: 34 votes.

September morning: 44 votes.

legend: 39 votes.

As for the number of online votes, apart from a total of 1655 million, the specific number of votes received by the eight groups was not announced.

In the tense and anxious atmosphere, Sanshui took a card from the staff, took a look at it and said, "Next, we will announce the number of online votes."

"Phoenix in flight, 459 million."

As soon as the words were spoken, changes began to appear on the big screen.

The number of online votes in the column where Fenghuang Yufei was located showed 459 million, and a number also appeared in the total number of votes area, 76.

There is a formula next to it.

Total votes = number of on-site votes + number of online votes / total number of online votes (rounded off)

Therefore, the total number of votes for Fenghuang Yufei = 48 + 459 million / 1655 million ≈ 76.

Seeing this content, many audience members were a little confused.

Why does my brain itch?

Sanshui continued, "The Thorn Youth Group, 518 million."

The data was also displayed in real time on the screen, with the total number of votes: 66.

Once this result appears, the winner is decided.

Sanshui said loudly with his passionate voice: "I declare that in the 1v1 duel, Fenghuang Yufei won and advanced to the top five of "Heavenly Group New Generation"!"

"The Thorn Youth Group failed to advance and entered the second round of competition."

There were sporadic cries of uproar at the scene, and at this moment the live broadcast room exploded.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"what's the situation????"

"The Thorn Boys Group lost???"

"No, sisters, where are the votes? Where are the votes you cast? Why are there only 518 million?"

"I just calculated that if the total number of online votes remains the same, our youth group must get 679 million online votes to have a chance of winning. There's nothing we can do about it."

“Indeed, the number of votes cast on site was directly reduced by 13 votes, and it is difficult to recover them.”

"What a rubbish show! What a rubbish vote!"

“Garbage, garbage, garbage!”

"Why don't you introduce yourselves here?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

……

On the stage, except for the Thorn Boys Group, other contestants were not surprised by the result.

After all, compared with Fenghuang Yufei, the only advantage of Thorn Boys is the number of fans.

Today's voting method obviously places more emphasis on on-site voting.

The key to the live voting lies in the 51 music producers.

It is obvious that these 51 music producers today attach great importance to the musicality of songs.

If this were not the case, groups like Thorn Boys, Galaxy Girls, and Barricade Drift, which rely mainly on stage effects, would not have received such low votes.

As for why Legend band only received 39 votes, it was because LeYan, Su Liang and Huang Hai tried too hard today. Although the stage effect was explosive, the song lost some of its musicality, so their votes were also relatively low.

The members of the Thorn Boys Group didn't feel good after losing to Fenghuang Yufei.

Especially when they thought about the harsh words they said at the beginning of the live broadcast, they simply didn't dare to look directly at the camera or face the fans who voted for them.

"It's okay, we still have a chance."

"What's so great about 1v1? 1v3 is really exciting!"

"Exactly. Besides, isn't it nice to sing two songs? It gives us one more chance to perform!"

"As long as it's still an online vote later, we will definitely win!"

After communicating for a while, the members of the Thorn Youth Group regained their spirits and returned to their previous high spirits.

During this process, the remaining groups that advanced to the top five and the groups that entered the second round of competition were also determined.

The top five advancers: GoldenCold, Galaxy Girl, and September Morning.

Entering the second round: Black Tiger Band, Roadblock Drift, Legend.

Tutor's seat.

Qiao Xi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Her only hope, September Morning, finally advanced to the top five.

But Xu Wenzhou became worried at this time.

The only band in his team, Black Tiger Band, failed to advance directly to the top five, but entered the second round, where they had to compete with three other groups for the last qualifying spot.

"My team won't be wiped out today, right?"

Xu Wenzhou was worried because there was also a group called Thorn Boys among the groups participating in the second round, and they were undoubtedly the biggest rivals of the Black Tiger Band.

Gu Zetao, he can still sit still now, and the Thorn Youth Group should be able to break through in the second round.

As for Lin Qingying, she was even more confident, after all, Fenghuang Yufei and Xinghe Girl both advanced to the top five.

Lin Qingying didn't have much hope for Legend, mainly because the other groups were too competitive in the second round and it would be difficult for Legend to snatch the last qualifying spot from them.

……

"Please invite Fenghuang Yufei, GoldenCold, Xinghe Girl and September Morning to take their seats in the top five."

Sanshui said loudly, pointing his finger at a place.

A light shone on the area next to the tutor's seat, and a special seat appeared.

The contestants who advanced to the top five were delighted.

Isn’t this seat better than the preparation room?

Everyone took their seats one after another.

As soon as he sat down, Feng Shiqi looked at Bai Xingjian curiously and asked, "What were you gesticulating with Le Yan and the others just now? And you were laughing so happily?"

Just now on the stage, Sanshui announced that legend entered the second round.

Feng Shiqi saw Bai Xingjian making a gesture to Le Yan and the others, and they smiled and nodded, not feeling worried at all about entering the second round.

Bai Xingjian grinned and said, "You'll know in a moment."

"Don't tell me?"

Feng Shiqi snorted, turned his head and didn't ask any more questions.

"Sister Shiqi, what happened to you two?" asked Tang Tang who was sitting next to them.

"Nothing, someone just did something without telling us again."

Feng Shiqi looked at the stage and vaguely guessed something.

"Brother Xingjian?"

Tang Tang poked his head out to look at Bai Xingjian, then retracted his head, saying sadly, "Since Sister Le Yan and the others have left, the recording of the show won't be so lively in the future, ah~"

Although Feng Shiqi currently had some guesses, she did not bring up the topic and just watched the stage quietly.

At this time, Sanshui began to announce the rules for the second round.

"Next, we will proceed to the second round of competition today."

Sanshui glanced at the Thorn Boys, Black Tiger Band, Roadblock Drift, and Legend who remained on the stage, and continued:
"The order of performance will be based on the number of votes you four groups received in the first round, from lowest to highest. When all of you have finished your performances, 51 music producers will jointly select the final group to advance to the top 5 today."

After hearing this rule, the faces of several members of the Thorn Youth Group suddenly changed.

Let 51 music producers choose?

No online voting?
What the hell are they doing?

However, the members of the other three groups all breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s great that there is no online voting!

They still have a glimmer of hope!
Especially the members of the Black Tiger band, they just felt that the scales of victory had begun to tilt towards them.

Top five, great chances!
Tutor's seat.

Xu Wenzhou breathed a sigh of relief. If only music producers were allowed to vote, then the Black Tiger Band would have the greatest chance of winning among the four groups.

It looks like his team won't be wiped out today.

As for Gu Zetao, his expression became much more serious at this moment.

According to the current voting rules, the Thorn Boys Group seems to be in a state of uncertainty.

They won't really be eliminated in this round, right?

No way?
