Chapter 129: Just Resurrected and Destroyed Again

In 1993, Beyond released a new album "Music and Fury", in which the song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" was rated as the most popular original song of the year and was named the Song of the Year.

However, in June of the same year, Beyond lead singer Wong Ka Kui accidentally fell off the stage while recording a program at Fuji TV in Tokyo. After being in a coma in the hospital for six days, he left this world forever.

The song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies", which originally marked the true maturity of Beyond, became Wong Ka Kui's swan song.

This has become a pain that countless Beyond fans cannot get over until now.

However, such a cruel reality to some extent echoes the tragic sense of fatalism in "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies". For various reasons, this song has transcended the scope of language and music and has become a belief, faith and strength in the hearts of many people.

When Bai Xingjian opened "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" from the blind box of his work, he originally planned to keep the song for himself.

After all, this song is too classic. It was released in 1993 and Beyond disbanded in 2005. Now, more than years have passed, and "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" is still sought after and loved by countless music fans.

In the future, this song will always accompany people and become an eternal classic.

This shows how important "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" is.

Moreover, Bai Xingjian is from Shenzhen and Cantonese is his mother tongue, so it is not difficult for him at all.

But why did he let Legend sing "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" first?
The reason is actually very simple.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are not in the same band, so if they sing alone they cannot bring out the charm of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

But legend is different, they are a band. The last time they sang "Yellow", they showed their tacit understanding and charm. Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai are worth a try.

Moreover, when chatting with them, Bai Xingjian was surprised to find that Su Liang was also from Shenzhen. In addition, "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" was originally a song opened from the blind box of works related to "Yellow", so there must be a destiny in the dark, and legend cannot be wrong to sing "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

Watching the three people performing passionately on the stage and listening to the passionate yet familiar interlude, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but get goose bumps.

If the interludes of songs were ranked, "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" would definitely be at the top.

The fusion of modern instruments such as electric guitar, drum set, piano and traditional instruments such as string instruments and wind instruments makes the interlude majestic, grand and extremely shocking.

Hearing this, many audience members, like Bai Xingjian, couldn't help but get goose bumps all over their bodies.

At this point, it is also the most emotional and climaxing part of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

Su Liang sang in a high-pitched voice:
"Still free myself"

"Sing My Song Forever"

"Travel thousands of miles"

"Forgive me for my unruly and free love in this life"

"I am also afraid that one day I will fall, oh, no"

“Anyone can abandon their ideals”

"Why would I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me, oh, yeah"

Below the stage, many audience members stared at the stage in a daze.

The bitterness, freedom, indomitable spirit and majestic power in the song are like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the hearts of the listeners.

The audience at the scene and netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned.

Such a boy appeared in their minds. He pursued freedom, but the road ahead was filled with rain, snow and fog; he pursued his ideals, but was surrounded by cold eyes and ridicule; he was indomitable and insisted on his ideals. Even if he was left with only one person in the end, he would still stick to his ideals and beliefs.

This song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" clearly brings everyone a positive attitude towards life, but when people listen to it, they only feel an inexplicable sense of sadness in their hearts.

Why is this?

Resurrection seat.

Everyone in the Black Tiger band felt fortunate.

Fortunately, legend was chosen by the Thorn Boys Group, otherwise if they were to face off against each other, it would be a situation where there would be no return.

As a rock band, the members of Black Tiger naturally know how shocking and soul-stirring the song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" is.

Their captain glanced at the audience. Everyone was very quiet, not as enthusiastic and passionate as when the Thorn Boys performed. But this was not a sign of a cold audience. Instead, everyone was listening and resonating deeply with the emotions of the song.

Today, the Thorn Boys' Group's hopes of advancing to the semi-finals are probably slim.

……

Parallel world, Earth.

Every dinner time, Xiao Lin would always listen to music while eating. Today was no exception, and Lin's father was also there.

By chance, the prelude of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" sounded, but Xiao Lin did not plan to listen to this song while eating and prepared to change to another one.

But just when he was about to change it, Father Lin said, "This is it, this is it."

Father Lin, who was usually taciturn, said it twice, chewed the food in his mouth twice, and swallowed it.

His eyes were fixed on the lyrics flowing on the screen, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.

Through the still bright light, Xiao Lin noticed that Lin's father's eyes were quite shining, with a hint of red around his eye sockets.

Noticing Xiao Lin's gaze, Lin's father hummed along with the song, pretending to be calm as if nothing had happened.

Xiaolin looked away.

Later, Father Lin stopped humming, lowered his head and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and did not raise his head until "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" was about to end.

Xiao Lin was born in the 00s and his father was born in the 70s.

The "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" that Lin's father heard was not just "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies", but also his youth, memories, and that one regret.

……

"Forgive me for my unruly and free-spirited life, oh, yeah"

“I am also afraid that one day I will fall.”

“Anyone can abandon their ideals”

"Why would I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me"

At the end of the song, when Su Liang's voice gradually faded, he picked up the electric guitar and started playing again.

Le Yan's hands were still waving on the piano arrow, and Huang Hai, who was sitting in front of the drum set, did not stop either.

The performance lasted for a short while before it finally ended.

There was a brief silence at the scene.

It was not until a few seconds later that thunderous applause broke out.

Many audience members stood up from their seats and cheered at the top of their lungs for the three members of Legend, Bai Xingjian, and the song "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies".

The live broadcast room also exploded at this time, and the barrage of comments like heavy snow filled the screen.

"It sounds great! This song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" is so beautiful!"

"Why do I feel like crying?"

"I've already cried."

“The mood of this song is really strange.”

“‘Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies’ is really well written! Everyone can abandon their ideals, but not everyone can pursue freedom for a lifetime. Even if only you and I are left in the end, I will pursue it to the end!”

"It's really strange. I obviously don't speak Cantonese, but after listening to this song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies", why do I feel like I can sing along with it?"

"Yunliangwojieyasengbagibangzongaijiu! Yeahweibayouyadingweidu~hou~"

Amidst warm applause, Sanshui and the Thorn Boys Group returned to the stage together.

"Next, we will move on to the voting phase."

Sanshui said in a clear voice: "Everyone present here, you will decide whether the Thorn Boys and Legend Band will stay or go. The one with the highest number of votes will advance to the semi-finals, and the one with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated directly. Pick up the voting machine in your hands and make your choice!"

As soon as the words fell, dynamic music sounded at the scene.

Everyone at the scene stared intently at the big screen behind the stage, and the vote numbers for Thorn Boys and Legend continued to rise.

The voting results will be out soon.

The Thorn Boys: 359 votes.

Legend: 442 votes.

Many people looked at the result in surprise.

What? The Thorn Boys lost again?!
The live broadcast room immediately exploded.

"How is it possible? How could the Thorn Boys lose?"

"It's a shady deal! This is simply a naked shady deal!"

"Do you believe this result? I don't believe it anyway."

"Indeed! Isn't this too fake? It is true that Legend sang Bai Xingjian's song, but I really don't get what's so good about this song "Boundless Oceans and Skies". It's not even a bit better than Tuantuan. How can Legend win? Ugh!"

"The production team will do anything to gain popularity. If the Thorn Boys come back to this show, I will eat shit!"

"Dude, you can't eat this, because there won't be any resurrection matches next."

"Hahaha, I came in and saw the Thorn Boys Group being eliminated. How satisfying!"

"Su He: I really have to go home today!"

on the stage.

The faces of several members of the Thorn Youth Group all turned black.

359 to 442, what a miserable defeat!
And they were facing the band Legend, an opponent they had chosen themselves.

Is this embarrassing?

This is so embarrassing.

Tutor's seat.

Seeing this number of votes, Gu Zetao sighed helplessly.

Although he had anticipated this result, he still couldn't help feeling depressed when it actually happened.

Team member - 1.

Gu Zetao glanced at Gushan and Yuanhai who were in the resurrection seats, and then looked at GoldenCold who was in the top five seats.

Although there are still many members in the team, he doesn't feel at ease.

Today his team might become the only one left, or even more extremely, be wiped out.

Gu Zetao now wants to give some suggestions to the program team.

——Can you please not let groups other than Fenghuang Yufei sing Bai Xingjian’s songs? This is too unfair!
In a corner of the studio, Zhu Tong was looking at the Thorn Boys Group on the stage who were talking about the feeling of elimination, and he was also very angry.

I lost again, and I lost right after I was resurrected.

The Thorn Boys Group doesn't even have the guts to fight back!

Zhu Tong felt like she was about to break, but before she broke herself, she wanted to let the Thorn Boys break first.

Special training! I'll start special training for you when I get home today!
"Let's give a round of applause to bid farewell to Thorn Boys, and thank them for the wonderful performances they have brought to everyone during this period..." Sanshui said the farewell words, and Thorn Boys slowly left the stage amid the applause of the audience.

After they left the stage, Sanshui's tone changed and he said excitedly: "Congratulations to Legend for becoming the first group to advance to the semi-finals of "New Era of Heavenly Groups". Please invite Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai to take their seats in the semi-finals. Please welcome them with applause!"

Amidst warm applause and cheers, Le Yan and the other two slowly took their seats in the semi-finals, their faces filled with joy and excited smiles.

"I never expected that we could make it to the semi-finals!"

"Indeed, it feels like a dream right now."

"It's all thanks to Brother Xingjian! Without him, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

……

After the competition between Thorn Boys and Legend, it was the turn of Black Tiger and GoldenCold.

The Black Tiger band gave the audience a very good stage, but compared with Golden Cold, they were still slightly inferior.

"Oh my god! The stage performances of these three GoldenCold members are getting more and more harmonious now!"

"Really! The effect they presented on stage was amazing!"

"My goodness, other groups come to the show to perform, but these three come to the show to get along well, right?"

"As expected, this is the group Yoyo hyung used to be in. They are still quite good."

"I don't know how to comment on what the above person said."

Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking a lot.

After the performances of Black Tiger and GoldenCold, the voting results came out quickly.

Black Tiger Band: 385 votes.

GoldenCold: 416 votes.

"Congratulations to GoldenCold for winning the 1v1 team PK!" Sanshui announced loudly.

Compared with the first group, the difference in votes between them is not that big.

Wang Yaqi, Li Zhenxi and Lin Hailun smiled faintly, not too happy.

Their goal is not just to reach the semi-finals.

But the members of the Black Tiger band smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

You can escape the legend, but you cannot escape the GoldenCold, and you will be eliminated in the end.

"Alas, I was eliminated again just after being resurrected."

"I feel like I can't even face Director Xu now."

"It's okay. Isn't that what the Thorn Youth Group does as well? Don't panic."

"That's right. I guess the situation in Lonely Mountain and Far Sea will be similar to ours. We are all wanderers in this world!"

The members of the Black Tiger band exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then began to give their farewell speeches on the stage.

Tutor's seat.

Xu Wenzhou sighed helplessly.

His team was wiped out again, twice.

Did the program crew do this on purpose?
And today, seeing Xu Wenzhou's team being wiped out once again, the smile on Qiao Xi's face was gone.

Because she sensed something bad happening.

One has to wonder, her Bird and Fish team might be wiped out today.

September Morning VS Galaxy Girl, Qiao Xi couldn't tell who would win or lose.

……

After the Black Tiger band left the stage and GoldenCold took their seats in the semi-finals, the studio also welcomed the third group of 1v1 duels.

“Let’s give a warm round of applause to the band Lonely Mountain and Far Sea for their wonderful performance!”

Sanshui said loudly.

Amidst the loud applause and cheers from the audience, Xiaoshan and Hailey appeared on the stage.

Although Gushan and Yuanhai were eliminated in the audition stage, their popularity and strength remain unquestionable.

Today, they sang one of their representative works, "We".

It was a love song sung by a man and a woman. The two people on the stage sang the song hand in hand, which made the audience and the mentors all smile.

"Sweet sweet!"

"It's delicious."

"It turns out that true couples have a great feeling when singing love songs."

"I declare! You two have already surpassed Phoenix in this respect!"

"Hahaha, that's all. Just wait to be wiped out along with the Thorn Boys and Black Tigers."

The response to the Lonely Mountain and Far Sea stage from the audience and netizens in the live broadcast room was very good.

Bai Xingjian also felt a little bit of pressure.

“Thank you Gushan and Yuanhai for the wonderful performance. Next, let’s welcome their opponents, Fenghuang Yufei!” Sanshui’s passion remains unabated.

The audience burst into particularly warm applause and cheers.

The noise seemed to be about to blow off the roof of the studio.

"Are they both so popular?"

In the waiting area at the edge of the stage, Xiaoshan and Hailey looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

They knew that Fenghuang Yufei was very popular, but they didn't expect it to be so popular.

When Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi appeared on the stage, information about the songs they were going to sing was also displayed on the big screen.

【Lady Shexiang】

【Singer: Phoenix in Flight】

【Lyrics: Bai Xingjian】

【Composition: Bai Xingjian】

【Arranger: Bai Xingjian】

"Madam Shexiang? What does this song title mean?"

"Madam Shexiang? It's actually Madam Shexiang!"

"Ah? Who is Madam Shexiang?"

"For your information, Lady Shexiang is a historical figure. Her Yi name is Shezi, and she was a female politician of the Yi ethnic group in the Ming Dynasty. During her reign, Lady Shexiang opened post roads and quelled the chaos on the border..."

"Zhu Yuanzhang once praised: She Xiang's surrender is better than having 100,000 soldiers."

"Wow! Madam Shexiang is so powerful?!"

"My home is in Gulin, next to Shexiang Square."

"Brother Yoyo knows so much about history? That's awesome!"

Many audience members were talking about it, and at this moment, the screen behind the stage also gave some detailed information about Lady Shexiang.

The audience, who were originally a little confused, suddenly understood, and their eyes were filled with admiration when they looked at Bai Xingjian.

Even several mentors in the tutor seat were like this, especially Xu Wenzhou.

There is no shortage of songs about love and pursuing dreams in the Chinese music scene, but there is a shortage of songs praising historical figures.

"Okay, okay, okay." Xu Wenzhou, sitting in the mentor seat, said "Okay" three times in a row, as if the team's annihilation had not happened.

There was a gleam in Lin Qingying's eyes. Before she saw this song, she didn't know who Madam Shexiang was.

Now I know it and I have learned it.

Xiaobai is so awesome!

On the stage, the lights gradually dimmed and the soothing and beautiful melody of "Lady Shexiang" sounded.

The sound of the zither and drum was extremely melodious, followed by the Yi tune played on the bamboo flute, which gave the audience a very novel feeling.

The melody is soothing and melodious, and Bai Xingjian's singing voice is also very gentle.

“Buckwheat flowers are in full bloom in Weining Caohai”

"Who hung the moon in the sky?"

"The words I want to say flow into the sea"

"Flowing into the Sea"

Many listeners were shocked when they heard Bai Xingjian's voice.

"Oh my god! Why is Bai Xingjian so gentle?"

"Wow~ This voice sounds so comfortable~ so sexy~ so charming~"

"I'm going to get pregnant~Brother Xingjian~"

"...Everyone, please restrain yourself."

When everyone was surprised by Bai Xingjian's gentle voice, Feng Shiqi raised the microphone and sang:

“Over the Mountains”

"Across the Endless Ocean"

"If the expectation is still there"

“It’s always spring when flowers bloom”

Feng Shiqi's voice is melodious and graceful, still stunning.

Accompanied by the classical melody, she and Bai Xingjian's condition gradually improved.

"Please stay quietly"

"Let the dream sweep away the dust"

“The fragrance spreads outside the study”

"Play beautiful music from nature"

The lyrics of "Lady Shexiang" are as beautiful as poetry, and the previous short paragraph describes some of the cultural landscape of our Yi compatriots.

Many viewers couldn't help but smile and nodded when they heard this. The familiar Fenghuang Yufei is back.
