Chapter 130 Mrs. Shexiang
"The Most Dazzling National Style" is the third album of Phoenix Legend, released in June 2009. "Lady Shexiang" is included in this album.

Unlike the album's title song "The Most Dazzling National Style" which became a nationwide hit, "Lady Shexiang" has always been lukewarm and not many people know about it except the true fans of Phoenix Legend.

This situation continued until 2021, when the famous singer Lin Zhixuan covered "Lady Shexiang" in front of Phoenix Legend on a variety show that gathered many talented people, which made the song begin to attract more attention.

Many people were attracted by Lin Zhixuan's version, and the song "Lady Shexiang" sung by him is also called "the wild version of "Lady Shexiang"" and "Lin Zhixuan's Night Raid on Xiangshui Beach".

But this alone is not enough, "Lady Shexiang" still has not broken the circle.

In August 2023, Phoenix Legend appeared as a guest at the concert of the famous singer Wang Sulong and sang "Lady Shexiang".

Then, videos of Phoenix Legend singing shot by many fans suddenly became popular on major platforms.

Many netizens commented:
"When Lady Shexiang came out, Wang Sulong said: Oh no, I'm a guest."

“Wang Sulong: This time I really went treasure hunting.”

"Wang Sulong's concert lasted four days, and I didn't see any of his videos, but I saw Phoenix Legend."

Under such circumstances, "Lady Shexiang" also began to truly break out of the circle and became well-known to everyone.

At the Asian Games in October of the same year, a video of a post-10s staff member passionately singing "Lady Shexiang" also went viral online, reaching hundreds of billions of views in a short period of time, adding fuel to the song's journey to break out of the circle.

At this point, "Lady Shexiang" officially swept the entire Internet, and anyone who heard the melody of this song couldn't help but shout in their hearts:
"Wu! Meng! Shan! Lian! Zhi! Shan! Wai! Shan!"

……

After a melodious bamboo flute sound, Bai Xingjian continued to hold up the microphone:

"Don't wait until the third watch to dawn"

"Lady Shexiang returns after the moon"

“She paints the sunlight in her heart”

"It makes the dark night bright"

"Bright and Bright"

His voice is still as gentle as ever, and these few short lines of lyrics seem to bring the diligent and people-friendly Lady Shexiang to the audience's attention.

“Over the Mountains”

"Across the Endless Ocean"

Feng Shiqi continued singing amid the melodious sound of bamboo flute.

Although the lyrics were exactly the same as before, the audience still felt fresh, and they always felt that the song "Lady Shexiang" seemed to be brewing something, but they couldn't say what it was.

“The fragrance spreads outside the study”

"Play beautiful music from nature"

Feng Shiqi's voice became louder and louder, and at this moment, Bai Xingjian also began his harmony.

Then, they sang together:
"Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain"

"The moonlight sprinkled on Xiangshui Beach"

"Can anyone tell me?"

“But the heavens are calling you.”

The brewing emotions were ignited at this moment, and a powerful momentum came over them, deeply shocking the audience.

"A mountain over a river"

"Thousands of mountains and rivers will never make you lonely"

"You have been here for a long time and have been passed down as a legend"

"The azalea never withers"

The lyrics do not deliberately sing praises to Madam She Xiang, but use the place names "Wumeng Mountain", "Xiangshuitan" and "Bai Li Dujuan" to slowly tell the story of Madam She Xiang's life, giving a "bard"-like feeling.

In order to let everyone know more about the song "Lady Shexiang", videos of these scenic spots also appeared on the big screen behind the stage.

[Wumeng Mountain: Wumeng Mountain Range, the largest mountain range in the eastern Yunnan Plateau, with the highest peak at an altitude of 4017 meters.]

[Xiangshuitan: Xiangshui Thunder, a beautiful scenery of Bijie Mountain City, the only natural waterfall in the country, named after its thunderous sound. ]

[Bai Li Du Juan: A national 5A-level tourist attraction, it has the world's largest, most diverse, best-preserved original rhododendron forest belt, stretching 125.8 square kilometers, so it is called "Bai Li Du Juan", and is known as the "Earth Ribbon" and "World Garden". 】

The audience was all shocked, even the mentors in the mentor seats were quite surprised, and the netizens in the live broadcast room were even more amazed.

"Brother Yoyo has started searching for place names again."

"I don't know any of these scenic spots. How shameful!"

"Stop talking. If it weren't for Fenghuang Yufei's song today, I wouldn't have known who Madam Shexiang was in my 30 years of life, and I'm from Guizhou Province..."

"Hahaha! Thank you brother Yoyo for promoting Bijie in your province. Luojiao River, Weining Grass Sea, Wumeng Mountain, Xiangshui Beach, and Baili Rhododendron are all scenic spots in Bijie."

"These are just a small part of Bijie's magical and beautiful scenery. Bijie has many more attractions. Welcome everyone to come and play!"

……

The arrangement of "Lady Shexiang" is still exotic and full of ethnic characteristics, but at the end, electronic rock is added in a twist.

Following the accompaniment, Bai Xingjian seemed to be holding the microphone and performing a B-BOX, a Hip-Hop element, commonly known as beatboxing.

Bai Xingjian: “Qi Ke Qi Ke Qi”

Feng Shiqi raps: "Our memories in memory"

Bai Xingjian: “Qi Ke Qi Ke Qi”

Feng Shiqi: "Nostalgia is always lingering in my heart"

Bai Xingjian: “Qi Ke Qi Ke Qi”

Feng Shiqi: “A Heartbeat of Kindness”

Although this section of lyrics is short, Feng Shiqi's rap still gives everyone a completely different feeling.

Before the audience could even begin to express their feelings, Bai Xingjian’s rap came late but surely:
"I follow your path and make the wind stop"

"I can still clearly see your strong steps"

"If Heaven Can Stay"

"If the earth could hold you back"

"May you stay in this cloud and water forever"

When Bai Xingjian was rapping, Feng Shiqi was also singing softly.

The two people's voices were so harmonious that Xiaoshan and Hailey, who were waiting in the waiting area at the edge of the stage, looked surprised.

"Sure enough, they are both very strong."

"And this song is well-written, both in terms of lyrics, composition and arrangement. More importantly, this song 'Lady Shexiang' is actually quite catchy."

"We deserved to lose to them."

Xiaoshan and Hailey were talking in low voices.

And at this moment, the familiar rhythm sounded again.

"Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain"

"The moonlight sprinkled on Xiangshui Beach"

"Can anyone tell me?"

“But the heavens are calling you.”

The emotions of the song progress layer by layer, getting higher and higher.

At this moment, many audience members in the audience were excited, and the netizens in the live broadcast room were even more so.

"It sounds great! The climax of this song is so beautiful!"

"Wu! Meng! Shan! Lian! Zhi! Shan! Wai! Shan!"

“There were clearly two people on the stage, but this song made them sound like a mighty army.”

“It’s really exciting!”

"My legs are already shaking!"

……

One of the reasons why "Lady Shexiang" became popular again is that the melody of the song is catchy and people from all over the country can sing along.

The chorus of the song, which is also the climax, has simple and repetitive lyrics, which makes people even more addicted. Therefore, when Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sang on the stage, many audience members had already started singing along.

"A mountain over a river"

"You will never feel lonely after traveling thousands of miles"

"You have been here for a long time and have been passed down as a legend"

"The azalea never withers"

However, just as the word "落" was sung, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi on the stage suddenly sang high notes together.

"Hey~"

"Yeah, yeah, hey~~"

The audience who were singing along were suddenly speechless.

They can’t sing, they really can’t sing these high notes.

As Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sang the high notes, the song "Lady Shexiang" officially ended.

The audience gave thunderous applause, and their surprised eyes were focused on Bai Xingjian.

The same is true for netizens in the live broadcast room. Everyone is saying:
"Dude, when did you become so good at high notes?"

"Brother Yoyo's singing skills are already pretty good, but I didn't expect him to be able to sing high notes. Is there anything he can't sing?"

"Strong, strong, strong!"

Top four seats.

Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun's faces were also filled with astonishment.

The two looked at each other and could see surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

Bai Xingjian can actually sing high notes now?
It turns out that it’s not just us who have made progress during this period, he has too!
Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun were quite emotional. During this period, their attention had been focused on Bai Xingjian's creative ability, so they had overlooked some things.

Although Bai Xingjian's high note today was short, the effect was very good and amazing.

This is actually normal. After all, Bai Xingjian has Feng Shiqi by his side. With her around, Bai Xingjian can have a smooth journey on the road to high notes.

Although the duration is a bit short, it is enough.

Amidst warm applause and cheers, Sanshui returned to the stage and began to take control of the show.

After the audience quieted down, the mentor evaluation session began.

Lin Qingying was the first to comment. She smiled and praised, "It's a great song! The lyrics are beautiful, the melody is moving, and it's catchy. I only listened to it once, but I feel like I can sing it now."

As the mentor of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, Lin Qingying's comments were brief but won the approval of countless audiences.

Because everyone felt the same as she did, after just listening to it once, they seemed to be able to sing along.

Before he started to comment, Xu Wenzhou gave the two people on the stage a thumbs up and said:
“Lady Shexiang is a song with distinct ethnic characteristics. Moreover, this song conveys the strong female power and national spirit by describing the tenacity and perseverance of Lady Shexiang, a Yi woman. This is very good! This song is very well written! Your singing also expresses the emotions in the song vividly. This is a very good stage!”

Facing Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, Xu Wenzhou did not hesitate to praise them. His series of compliments left many viewers and contestants stunned.

Of course, they also think that these praises are well-deserved.

After all, this song "Lady Shexiang" is not only well written, but also sung very well.

Phoenix is ​​flying, it’s worth it!

When it was Gu Zetao's turn to comment, he shook his head and sighed.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Gu Zetao raised the microphone and said, "I can't think of any words to describe you. Phoenixes are flying. Why don't you come and sit in my seat?"

Gu Zetao patted the sofa under him, motioning for Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi to take their seats.

Seeing this scene, the audience who were just confused suddenly burst into laughter, and even many contestants couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha, our Taotao is so funny! When did he get the sense of humor injected into him?"

"I feel that what Gu Zetao said is quite right. With the strength that Fenghuang Yufei has shown so far, he is more than qualified to be the mentor of "The New Era of Heavenly Group"."

"No! Please don't! I'm still waiting for them to sing for me. I can't sit in the mentor seat."

Backstage center.

Listening to what Gu Zetao said, the program director Hong Yang also had many ideas.

Otherwise, why not invite Fenghuang Yufei to be a mentor in the second season of "New Era of Heavenly Group"?

As soon as he thought of this, Hong Yang laughed.

The first season hasn’t even been finished yet, but we’re already thinking about the second season.

People can't just walk by looking at the sky.

……

The camera turned to Qiao Xi, who smiled and said, "I don't know how everyone feels right now, but the melody of this song is still lingering in my mind."

"The Wumeng Mountains are connected to other mountains! The moonlight shines on the Xiangshui Beach..."

As he was talking, Qiao Xi began to sing.

As a result, when she sang, many audience members started singing along with her.

This made many people look shocked.

Fortunately, Qiao Xi only sang two lines and did not let the scene get too out of control.

After the crowd quieted down, she looked at Bai Xingjian and said, "Bai Xingjian, how did you create such a catchy and resonant song?"

Bai Xingjian held up the microphone and replied simply: "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."

The meaning is simple and clear, but countless viewers have added a big drama in their minds.

"Brother Yoyo was able to write the song 'Lady Shexiang' because he must have visited the actual place."

“Indeed, if I hadn’t experienced it myself, I wouldn’t have been able to write such vivid lyrics!”

"Sure enough, our ancestors' words will not lie!"

"It seems I have to go out more often."

"Let's go! Let's go somewhere together."

"It's so funny! After all I said, you only saw 'travel thousands of miles', right? 'read thousands of books' was not even mentioned once."

……

Qiao Xi gave Bai Xingjian a thumbs up and ended his review.

Suning held up the microphone and said, "Xixi is right!"

The whole audience burst into laughter again.

After the review session, the voting session will naturally follow.

Gushan and Yuanhai returned to the stage and stood at the center of the stage alongside Fenghuang Yufei.

"Next, we move on to the voting phase!"

Sanshui said in a clear voice: "After watching the performances of the two groups, I believe everyone has already formed their own ideas. So please pick up the voting devices in your hands and support Gushan and Yuanhai or Fenghuang Yufei. Please make your choice!"

As the words were spoken, the voting began.

Amid the dynamic music, on the big screen, the votes for Gushan and Yuanhai and Fenghuang Yufei were rising alternately.

"No need to look, Fenghuang Yufei definitely has more votes."

"That's for sure. Although the songs of Lonely Mountain and Distant Sea are nice, they still lack a lot of feeling compared to Flying Phoenix."

"Come on Shanhai! I don't want you to be eliminated as soon as you come back!"

"It's very difficult! Their opponent is a flying phoenix!"

The audience was talking about it and the voting results came out quickly.

Lonely Mountain and Far Sea: 233 votes.

Phoenix in Flight: 568 votes.

The gap is nearly 300 votes, the largest vote difference since the live broadcast began.

Amid the uproar, Sanshui announced: "Congratulations to Fenghuang Yufei for advancing to the top four of "The New Era of Heavenly Group"! Thank you to Gushan and Yuanhai for bringing us a wonderful stage!"
