Chapter 128 Forgive me for being uninhibited, indulgent and loving freedom in this life
"Through the tense and exciting resurrection stage, three groups have emerged as strong breakouts. They are..."
On the stage, Sanshui's passionate and powerful voice rang out: "Lonely Mountain and Distant Sea! Black Tiger Band! Thorn Boys Band!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience cheered and members of the three groups took the stage one by one.
Sanshui continued to announce passionately: "We also invite the top five groups of "New Era of Heavenly Group", they are Fenghuang Yufei, Xinghe Girls, Legend..."
The five groups that advanced to the top five in the previous episode also came to the stage.
This time the applause was particularly loud.
"Next, we will have the semi-finals."
Sanshui said: "But before that, please go back to the three groups on the stage and choose their mentor team."
The Thorn Boys chose Gu Zetao's team, and the Black Tiger Band chose Xu Wenzhou's team. Both groups returned to their original teams.
Gushan and Yuanhai also chose Gu Zetao's team.
Haili, a girl in the group, held up the microphone to explain the reason: "It was mentor Gu Zetao who eliminated us before. Today, I return to the stage to join his team. I want to prove myself."
The boy next to her, Xiaoshan, smiled and nodded.
This time, the two of them returned to the stage to prove themselves!
"Okay! Now we are officially entering the semi-finals of the 'New Era of Heavenly Group'! Next, I will announce the relevant rules."
Sanshui held the cue card and spoke in an orderly manner.
The rules of the semi-finals are very simple. Similar to the previous period, the eight groups are divided into four 1v1 groups. After the two groups in each group finish their stage performances, the 801 audience members on site vote, and the group with the most votes advances.
The rules for the 1v1 grouping are also very simple. The three resurrected groups have the right to choose their opponents first.
Starting with the Thorn Boys, the Black Tiger Band, Lonely Mountain and Far Sea were chosen in turn.
On the stage, the other groups were waiting in surprise but unusually calm.
The live broadcast room was already in an uproar, with many netizens indignantly saying:
"No, it's ok that the teams that came back from the resurrection match didn't have debuffs, but how come they still have special privileges?"
"The production team is really good at playing games. Are you afraid that the Thorn Boys Group won't make it to the semi-finals?"
"And this Gushan and Yuanhai, who didn't even make it past the auditions, are still able to participate in the semi-finals. That's amazing."
"Fair, damn fair."
“It turns out that those who are eliminated can also reach the finish line.”
"They just made a mistake during the audition. There's no need to keep harping on it, right?"
"This rule is so ridiculous. Are all those who come back from the resurrection match the bosses?"
"I want to see how these three resurrected groups choose."
"Thorn Youth Group, if you have the ability, choose Phoenix Yufei!"
"Our Tuantuan is not that stupid!"
……
"Please, Thorn Boys, choose your opponents in the 1v1." Sanshui said in a loud voice.
Chen Zhuohao, the captain of the Thorn Boys Group, slowly swept his gaze over members of the group including Fenghuang Yufei and Xinghe Girls, and finally stopped on Le Yan and Su Liang.
Chen Zhuohao said in a deep voice: "We choose the band Legend."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was in an uproar, as was the live broadcast room.
There are surprises, mockery, and the expected.
"That's all the Thorn Boys have? They chose the weakest legend band?"
"Why are you so cowardly!"
"If you have the ability, choose Fenghuang Yufei! What's the big deal about choosing a band called Legend?"
"I just look down on you guys!"
"Do I need you to look up to me? Who are you?"
"That's right, what's wrong with us playing it safe? Let's advance to the semi-finals first!"
"If you can't advance to the semi-finals even if you choose a legend, then you guys in the Thorn Boys Group should go back to fishing and stop coming to the show."
“Hahahaha, indeed!”
The reason why Thorn Boys chose Legend is very simple. It is because Le Yan and his friends have relatively few fans and do not have an advantage in the voting of the live audience.
And they didn't believe that Bai Xingjian would have a song to sing for the Legend band this time.
But even if there is, it is not a big problem. After all, this time it is the live audience voting, and their advantage is extremely high.
Le Yan and the others were not surprised when they heard Chen Zhuohao's choice.
Among the several groups that advanced to the top five, Legend is indeed the weakest group in terms of overall strength, so it is understandable that Thorn Boys chose them just to be on the safe side.
But this does not mean that they, the legend, have no power to resist.
Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai nodded with a smile and gladly accepted the choice of the Thorn Boys Group.
"Okay! Congratulations to the Thorn Boys and Legend Band for becoming the first 1v1 PK team."
Sanshui said loudly, "Next, please let the Black Tiger Band make your choice."
The captain of the Black Tiger band was in a dilemma at this time because the Legend band they wanted to choose the most was chosen by someone else.
After some hesitation, the leader of the Black Tiger Band finally made his choice. He looked at Wang Yaqi, Li Zhenxi and Lin Hailun and said, "Let's go with Golden Cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene again.
Many viewers were surprised by the choice of Black Tiger Band, even Xu Wenzhou was quite surprised.
"As expected of the Black Tiger band! They actually chose GoldenCold as their opponent."
"I can only say that they really dared to choose. This is GoldenCold!"
"Awesome my brother!"
"It's not unreasonable to choose GoldenCold. They can't choose Fenghuang Yufei, right? As for September Morning, he is the only member of the Bird and Fish Team. If the Black Tiger Band chooses him, then another mentor team will be wiped out. That would be terrible. So choosing GoldenCold is actually a wise move."
"Really? It would be funny if Black Tiger and September Morning were both eliminated in this round."
"Don't say it, you really don't say it."
Netizens were talking about it, and the focus of the studio was now on the two members of the Gushan and Yuanhai group.
Hailey held the microphone and glanced at the remaining members of the group, finally stopping at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.
She said, "It seems that we are the only two teams left that have a male-female pairing. Let's have a PK, Phoenix Flying."
As soon as Haley finished speaking, an uproar broke out again at the scene, and this time the noise was louder than the previous ones.
No one expected that the combination of Gushan and Yuanhai would choose Fenghuang Yufei as their opponent.
"You're brave! You're brave!"
“Shanhai is awesome!!!”
"Warrior! This is the real warrior!"
"It's rare to see someone give away a kill right after resurrecting."
"So the Lonely Mountain and the Far Sea are staging a No Time to Die show?"
"I've seen stubborn people, but I've never seen people as stubborn as Gushan and Yuanhai."
"Isn't this more refreshing and more courageous than a certain youth group?"
"Just because you dare to choose Fenghuang Yufei, I will become your fan!"
on the stage.
Many contestants looked at Haley and Xiaoshan with surprise.
I didn’t choose the Star Girl or September Morning, but instead chose Phoenix Flying.
You guys are good at creating show effects!
"Good! Congratulations to Gushan and Yuanhai and Fenghuang Yufei for becoming the third 1v1 PK combination. The unselected Xinghe Girl and Jiuyue Morning will automatically be matched as the last 1v1."
Sanshui presided over the situation and said, "Please ask the Thorn Boys and Legend Band to stay on the stage, and the rest of the groups please take your seats."
The design of the live stage this time still retains the top five seats, and the groups that break out through the resurrection match also have their own exclusive seats.
Phoenix Flying, GoldenCold and September Morning all took their places in the top five.
Lonely Mountain and Far Sea and Black Tiger Band took their seats in the resurrection seats.
The two seats are not far apart, and everyone can see each other just by looking up. They are only a few steps away.
It's just that their eyes are not on each other, but on something else.
Not far from them, on a higher platform, are the seats for the top four.
The seats up there are very grand, and give you the urge to sit down there.
……
"The performance is about to begin. Do you have anything to say, Thorn Boys?"
Sanshui asked while holding the microphone.
Captain Chen Zhuohao replied: "We will personally take back everything that belongs to us!"
At this point, he turned around and glanced at Le Yan and the other two, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Sorry, we must get a place in the semi-finals!"
"The Thorn Youth Group is very motivated to fight."
Sanshui looked at Legend with a smile and asked, "Do you have anything to say about this?"
Su Liang held up the microphone and smiled faintly: "It's just a defeated opponent, there's nothing much to say. If we can defeat them the first time, we can defeat them the second time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several members of the Thorn Youth Group suddenly changed.
Sanshui opened his mouth slightly, looking surprised.
The audience was in an uproar, and the live broadcast room was in an uproar.
"Arrogant! This is too arrogant! But I like it!"
"Hahaha! Did you see that? As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Chen Zhuohao and the others changed instantly."
"Vocal! How did Su Liang get the confidence to say such a thing? If it weren't for Bai Xingjian's song, they would have been eliminated last time and might not even win the resurrection match."
"That's right! You're so arrogant and say this now. You're really not afraid of making people laugh."
"What? We are arrogant because of Brother Xingjian's songs. Are you not convinced?"
"I accept it. Why not? But you guys just keep being so arrogant. I hope you guys can still be so arrogant when Legend loses later."
The live broadcast room was buzzing with noise. Sanshui also continued with a surprised expression: "The atmosphere is already so tense before the show even starts. So please ask the Legend band to wait for a while. Next, please invite the Thorn Boys to bring us a wonderful performance. Please welcome them with applause!"
Amidst the loud applause and cheers, Legend Band and Sanshui quietly left the stage, leaving the stage to Thorn Boys Group.
In a corner of the studio, Shengchuan Entertainment's chief agent Zhu Tong also came to the scene to supervise the battle.
She wants to watch the Thorn Boys advance step by step from the resurrection match to the finals.
……
Because they were at risk of being eliminated at any time, the Thorn Boys did not hold back on this stage, and brought out everything they could. The song was still full of K-pop-style rhythms and brainwashing melodies, and the overall effect of the stage was very good, making the audience excited. It can be said that they ignited everyone's emotions as soon as they appeared on stage.
Looking at the young people performing hard on the stage, Zhu Tong nodded with satisfaction.
If the Thorn Boys had shown this spirit earlier, she didn't believe that these little guys would be eliminated in the quarterfinals.
As soon as the Thorn Boys' performance ended, there was loud applause from the audience.
Feeling everyone's enthusiasm, several members of the Thorn Boys Group smiled happily on their faces.
It shouldn't be a problem to defeat Legend this time, right?
Sanshui walked onto the stage and asked the mentors to comment on the performance of the Thorn Boys Group.
All four groups of mentors gave positive reviews, but they were only superficial because there was nothing about this stage that made them feel too amazed.
However, the Thorn Boys were already very satisfied.
The enthusiasm of the audience is not deceptive.
After the review session, Sanshui said in a clear voice: "Next, we would like to invite the opponent of the Thorn Boys Band, the Legend Band, to bring us a wonderful performance. Let's welcome them with applause!"
Amidst warm applause, Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai walked onto the stage from the waiting area.
On the way, they passed by the Thorn Boys Group who were leaving the stage.
When passing by Su Liang, Su He said frivolously: "I'm afraid I have to go home today~"
However, Su Liang just said "Oh" and said in a light tone: "Goodbye."
Su He staggered and almost fell off the ladder.
The camera captured this complete scene with great accuracy, and laughter immediately broke out at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
"Hahahaha! Su Liang is really an anomaly. Why didn't I notice him doing this before?"
"We are all from the same roots, why are we so anxious to hurt each other? We are all members of the Su family, why do we have to do this?"
"Su He failed to provoke and ended up getting C'd. This is simply ridiculous."
"It was really the old lady who got into bed and made me laugh."
……
When Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai appeared on the stage, many people first glanced at them and then focused their attention on the big screen behind the stage.
Because everyone is concerned whether Legend will continue to sing Bai Xingjian's songs today like last time.
The same was true for several members of the Thorn Boys Group, who stared at the big screen intently.
Soon, information about the songs sung by legend was also displayed.
【Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies】
【Singer: legend】
【Lyrics: Bai Xingjian】
【Composition: Bai Xingjian】
【Arranger: Bai Xingjian】
The audience burst into applause again, and the live broadcast room was filled with exclamations.
"Oh shit! It's Bai Xingjian's song again!"
"Good job!"
"The sky is wide and the sea is vast? If you take a step back, the sky will be wide and the sea will be vast?"
"Hahaha! Now I know why Su Liang was so confident in saying that. It turns out he got Yoyo's song again!"
"Eliminate, eliminate! Wait for the Thorn Boys Group to be eliminated for the second time!"
"I can't wait to listen to this song, the quality is definitely very high!"
"Of course, anything produced by Brother Xing Jian must be top quality!"
"I don't believe that the Thorn Boys Group can lose in this live audience vote."
"That's right! It's impossible for Bai Xingjian to have every song that sounds good and suitable for Legend to sing. The quality this time must be not that good."
"Don't worry, the Thorn Youth Group won't lose today."
The waiting area at the edge of the stage.
Several members of the Thorn Youth Group sneered, with a mixture of helplessness and mockery.
"It's another song by Bai Xingjian. This is simply cheating."
"It's not a big problem. As long as those music producers are not around, we will be safe."
"Yes! Our performance just now was already very explosive. The three members of Legend should not be able to suppress us. If they are not careful, they might even make the audience feel cold."
"It's unlikely that the audience will get bored. After all, they are a band. With all these instruments, it's hard for the audience to get bored."
Just like the last time they sang "Yellow", there were piano, drums and guitar on legend's stage today.
Le Yan sat in front of the piano, looked at Su Liang and Huang Hai, and began to play slowly.
The deep yet melodious piano sound made the audience quiet down and immerse themselves in the mood of the song.
Su Liang, who had been building up his emotions, stood in front of the microphone holding a guitar and spoke first.
"Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night"
"Drifting far away with a cooled heart"
"Chasing in the wind and rain, unable to distinguish the shadow in the fog"
"The sky is vast, you and me"
“It may change”
Le Yan, who was playing the piano, and Huang Hai, who was sitting in front of the drum set, sang in harmony quietly:
“Who hasn’t changed?”
Many listeners were surprised. Is this a Cantonese song?
It's quite rare indeed.
And just like the stage of "Yellow", this time the opening was also a piano solo, but the singer was changed to Su Liang.
In the mentor seats, the four groups of mentors looked at each other in surprise, and then they all turned their eyes to Bai Xingjian who was in the top five.
Mongolian, Korean, English, and Italian have all appeared, and now there is Cantonese. Is there any language you don’t know?
On the stage, Su Liang continued to sing in Cantonese:
"How many times have I been met with cold stares and ridicule?"
“Never give up the ideal in my heart”
"For a moment, I felt as if I was missing something"
"It has faded without me noticing"
“Love in the Heart”
Le Yan and Huang Hai sing together: "Who understands me"
Hearing this, the audience felt surprised.
"This band called Legend seems to be quite good."
"Last time he sang the English song so fluently, and today he sang the Cantonese song just as well. He is really amazing."
"And the lyrics are interesting too. Yoyo is indeed a great writer."
"More importantly, this song inexplicably fits the band Legend, and that's the scariest part."
"Brother Xingjian is truly amazing!"
The waiting area at the edge of the stage.
Several members of the Thorn Youth Group shook their heads in disdain.
"It's actually a quiet song. How can it compare to us?"
"The mood of this song is a bit depressing, it's not quite appropriate to sing it live!"
"Hahaha, after hunting geese all day, he got pecked in the eye by a goose. Bai Xingjian miscalculated this time."
……
"Forgive me for my unruly and free love in this life"
“I am also afraid that one day I will fall down, oh, no”
“Anyone can abandon their ideals”
"Why would I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me"
Su Liang's voice became a little higher in the deep piano melody.
At this moment, many viewers couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The lyrics are written in a way that goes deep into human nature and touches people’s hearts!
In a corner of the studio, Zhu Tong looked at the lyrics flowing on the screen, and his expression gradually became solemn.
She doesn't write songs, but she listens to them.
Moreover, having been in this circle for more than 20 years, she can naturally tell whether the lyrics of a song are good or bad.
Today's song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" has simple lyrics, but its connotation is not simple at all.
Zhu Tong glanced at the audience seats, seeing that everyone was listening to the song quietly. He frowned slightly, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
If the audience can listen to this song with spiritual connotation, then the Thorn Boys' competition today will be in jeopardy.
Zhu Tong glanced at Bai Xingjian, who was sitting in the top five not far away, and gritted his teeth a little.
on the stage.
Le Yan played the piano and Huang Hai started playing the drums, and the layering of the song was suddenly enriched a lot.
At this time, Su Liang also played the electric guitar in his hand and continued singing in front of the microphone.
Although the lyrics are exactly the same as before, the emotion is completely different, with a little more power and determination.
Many audience members were also immersed in the singing at this time. Several deeply moved audience members even began to follow the melody and sang along quietly while looking at the lyrics on the screen.
"Forgive me for my unruly and free love in this life"
“I am also afraid that one day I will fall down, oh, no”
“Anyone can abandon their ideals”
"Why would I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me, yeah"
As if seeing familiar elements in the song, the camera gave Bai Xingjian a close-up at this time.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Xingjian's expression at this moment was not relaxed, but rather sentimental.
This puzzled some viewers.
However, when the interlude of the song sounded, everyone was gradually infected by the emotion of the song, and they probably understood why Bai Xingjian felt a little sad.
Probably.
