Chapter 132 He is strong, but we are not weak

After the live broadcast ended, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi went to the preparation room as usual.

The director and editor in charge of the preparation for the interview for the two of them was still Chen Dantong. After a brief communication, they officially entered the preparation stage.

"Phoenix Yufei, congratulations on winning today's semi-final qualifying match!"

Chen Dantong first congratulated them, and then asked, "How do you feel now after advancing to the semi-finals?"

Feng Shiqi smiled and said, "Of course I am happy and excited. Anyway, it feels great!"

Bai Xingjian also smiled and nodded: "My joy is beyond words."

Chen Dantong smiled slightly, glanced at the memo in her hand, and continued to ask: "After advancing to the semi-finals, you will face the finals. So what do you think about the finals of "New Era of Heavenly Group"?"

Feng Shiqi glanced at Bai Xingjian, pursed her lips, and smiled: "Let it be, I'll just focus on singing."

Bai Xingjian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "I hope I can win a championship."

"Is it just hope?" Chen Dantong asked with a smile.

"Then do your best to win the championship." Bai Xingjian replied.

"That's more like you."

Chen Dantong smiled and nodded, clearing her throat and continued, "From your answers just now, you are quite confident about your position as champion, so Bai Xingjian, what three new songs do you plan to sing in the finals?"

Bai Xingjian thought about it, then spread his hands: "Wasn't there a guest performer in the first round? Now even the guest has not been announced, so I'm not too sure."

As he said, until the end of the live broadcast, the program team still did not announce the relevant information about the guest performers in the first round of the finals.

Therefore, Bai Xingjian is also confused now.

Chen Dantong smiled and nodded, thinking that what he said made sense: "What about the second round?"

"Isn't the theme of the second round [Duet]? So we can only sing songs with this theme." Bai Xingjian replied.

Chen Dantong raised her eyebrows: "Do you think this topic is difficult for you?"

Feng Shiqi looked at Bai Xingjian and answered tentatively: "It shouldn't be difficult. After all, we have sung songs with this theme before."

As for this question, Bai Xingjian pondered for a moment before saying, "That should be the case."

Noticing his abnormality, Chen Dantong asked curiously, "You seemed a little hesitant in your answer just now. Is it because the theme song of [Duet] is not ready yet? Or is it because you encountered some problems?"

After these words were spoken, Feng Shiqi also looked over with some curiosity.

Bai Xingjian shook his head, his tone uncertain, "The song is ready, but there may be some problems when singing."

"is it?"

Chen Dantong's eyes lit up. It was the first time she saw Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi encountering problems in this regard. She smiled and said, "I'm already looking forward to your selection of songs for the theme of [Duet]."

There was also a gleam of curiosity in Feng Shiqi's eyes as she looked at Bai Xingjian.

When we were discussing this topic just now, A Jian seemed to be stumbling. Now that we are in the interview preparation stage, he is still like this. Is there some secret?
Then I must ask about it when I get back today.

"Since we've already mentioned the issue of song selection."

Chen Dantong glanced at the memo in her hand and asked, "In today's live broadcast, the song that touched the audience the most was "Boundless Oceans and Skies". Although this song was sung by the Legend band, it was written by you. Everyone is very interested in this question, which is..."

Chen Dantong glanced down again and asked, "What do you want to express through the song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies"?"

"What is it expressing..."

Bai Xingjian thought for a few seconds before saying, "Actually, everyone should be able to tell from the lyrics."

At this point, Bai Xingjian coughed and then sang in Cantonese: "[Anyone can abandon their ideals, why should we be afraid of the day when it's just you and me], these are the three lines of the lyrics."

Suddenly, Feng Shiqi's bright eyes were shining brightly, and so was Chen Dantong. She was surprised and asked, "So what do these three lyrics express?"

Bai Xingjian felt like he was being asked "100,000 whys", but he still patiently explained: "It is very easy to give up ideals. Everyone in the world can do it because there are too many external factors that change people's minds. However, I will stick to my beliefs. Even if one day, only one person in the world recognizes me, I will still stick to it."

Feng Shiqi looked at him quietly.

Chen Dantong was also thoughtful after hearing this, but she quickly asked, "You sang those three lines of lyrics very beautifully."

"Thank you." Bai Xingjian nodded with a smile.

Chen Dantong smiled and continued, "During the live broadcast, many viewers wanted to hear you sing "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies". Do you think they have this opportunity?"

Bai Xingjian showed a rather surprised look, and then said: "There will be such an opportunity."

……

After Phoenix Flying finished recording, it was GoldenCold's turn.

Chen Dantong's question was very tricky: "Bai Xingjian is a former member of GoldenCold. Wang Yaqi, Lin Hailun, do you have anything to say about his current performance?"

Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun didn't expect Chen Dantong to ask this question, and they were both stunned for a moment.

Wang Yaqi pondered for a long time before saying, "Bai Xingjian is in very good condition now, even better than when he was in GoldenCold. Very impressive."

Lin Hailun nodded: "As Yaqi said, I have nothing to say."

Chen Dantong smiled, but the question was still tricky: "Then what do you think led to Bai Xingjian's current state?"

“Maybe it’s because of the magnetic field.”

Wang Yaqi's tone was uncertain: "His magnetic field in the group Fenghuang Yufei should be much better than that in GoldenCold, so it is probably due to the environment. After all, the environment around you can affect many things."

"Do you think the internal environment of GoldenCold is inferior to that of Phoenix Yufei?"

Chen Dantong glanced at the memo and continued asking.

"I think so." Wang Yaqi nodded.

This answer surprised Chen Dantong, Lin Hailun and Li Zhenxi.

Noticing their surprised looks, Wang Yaqi smiled and said, "Of course, this is from Bai Xingjian's perspective. After all, he is very eye-catching in the group Fenghuang Yufei. But for us, this is naturally not the case."

Chen Dantong smiled and looked at Li Zhenxi: "Earlier, Bai Xingjian said that his goal was to win the championship of "New Era of Heavenly Group". What about you? Are you sure you can win the championship from Fenghuang Yufei?"

Li Zhenxi's face was calm: "It is undeniable that Bai Xingjian is very strong. The Phoenix Flying formed by him and Feng Shiqi is indeed a strong contender for the championship."

At this point, Li Zhenxi smiled and changed the subject: "But we, GoldenCold, are not weak either. It is still unknown who will win."

"So you are sure of winning?" Chen Dantong insisted.

Li Zhenxi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "50-50."...

After the recording was completed, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi got on the nanny car back to the hotel.

As a result, not long after getting in the car, Feng Shiqi received a call from Feng's mother.

Feng Shiqi gestured to Bai Xingjian, Zheng Wei and Mei Jie to be quiet and try not to talk before answering the call.

"Hey, Mom, what's up?"

Mother Feng's tone on the phone was very kind: "Nothing, I just miss my precious daughter. Will she be back this Sunday?"

Feng Shiqi's voice was a little bored: "I've been working overtime recently and I can't spare any time. In another week, um, next week should be enough time after I'm done with the work. Then I'll call A Jian back to accompany you and Dad."

Feng Shiqi blinked at Bai Xingjian.

Bai Xingjian said nothing, but he felt that Zheng Wei and Mei Jie looked at him and his adopted sister with a teasing look in their eyes.

Mother Feng laughed and asked, "Why is your game company working overtime so much recently? Is there another new game coming online during the summer vacation? Are you waiting to make money from the players?"

"Of course~ Summer vacation is coming soon, and the company must do a good job of performance improvement. After all, it's a game." Feng Shiqi said without blushing.

In the past, she often discussed matters concerning game companies with Feng Ma, so Feng Ma was relatively knowledgeable about it.

However, what puzzled Feng Shiqi was that every time she mentioned A Jian, her mother would get excited and tell her not to disturb A Jian unless it was necessary. But the situation today seemed a little different?
Just when Feng Shiqi was puzzled, Feng's mother spoke up: "You have been working overtime a lot recently, so don't overwork yourself. You should pay more attention to nourishing your body and don't damage it."

Mother Feng glanced at the washboard that Father Feng had just retrieved from the express delivery station, and said, trying to hold back her smile, "As for Xiaobai, he should be very busy right now, so don't bother him."

Feng Shiqi was originally very happy, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he glanced at Bai Xingjian and said with a pout: "Yes, yes, don't bother Xiaobai, just bother me, what's the difference in treatment?"

"I don't want to argue with you." Feng's mother chuckled and finally reminded him, "Don't get too tired. Take care of yourself. Your father and I will wait for you to come home."

Feng Shiqi said "hmm" several times, smiled and said a few more words before hanging up the phone.

"Your aunt is urging me to go home again, but it shouldn't be a big deal." Feng Shiqi looked at Bai Xingjian and raised his eyebrows with great pleasure.

Bai Xingjian smiled and replied, "I'm glad you're alright."

Mei Jie looked at the two of them, smiled and said nothing.

Zheng Wei was holding a tablet at this time, and said happily: "The song "Lady Shexiang" that you sang today has become a hot search again, and has aroused a lot of discussion among netizens, especially netizens from your province, who are amazed at the song. Even the officials of your province have joined in the interaction. Just now, the staff of your province's cultural tourism department has contacted me and started to consult about relevant cooperation matters."

Hearing this, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

"So fast?" Bai Xingjian asked in surprise.

Less than two hours after the live broadcast ended, staff from your province’s cultural and tourism department came directly to my door?
This staff member is probably a loyal fan of our Fenghuang Yufei. He started taking action right after listening to the song.

"Would you like to take a look?" Zheng Wei handed the tablet in his hand to Bai Xingjian.

Bai Xingjian took a closer look and saw it was a chat box.

The initiator of the chat box was none other than the official blue V account of Gui Province’s Culture and Tourism Bureau on Weibo, and the message was sent just a few minutes ago.

Feng Shiqi also came over to take a look.

"So, do you have any intention of cooperating with them?" Zheng Wei looked at the two of them expectantly.

Bai Xingjian turned his head and looked into Feng Shiqi's eyes and asked, "Any ideas?"

Feng Shiqi shook her head: "I don't have any ideas. I'm fine with anything."

It means it depends on you.

Bai Xingjian smiled and looked at Zheng Wei again: "Sister Wei, what do you think?"

Zheng Wei said, "It would be great if we could cooperate, but we still have to look at the specific details of the cooperation. As long as the conditions are not too harsh, it's okay for us to make some concessions. After all, they are the official party, not a brand."

Bai Xingjian nodded, agreeing with what Zheng Wei said, but he didn't want to treat himself unfairly:
"Then Sister Wei, please talk to them. We currently have the intention to cooperate. We can discuss the details after you finish talking."

Zheng Wei smiled and nodded: "OK!"

While they were chatting, the popularity of "New Era of Heavenly Group" on Weibo once again reached a high point.

On Weibo's hot search list, several program-related terms dominated the top ten.

The first one is naturally——

[The Thorn Youth Group was eliminated again, and was eliminated unexpectedly (explosive)]

Many netizens left messages on this Weibo post.

"Legend band fans! Line up! Laugh!"

"It's so funny. The Thorn Boys originally wanted to pick on an easy target, but they didn't expect that the target would be taken out from the refrigerator."

"Anyway, I didn't expect that Legend would sing another song by Yoyo. This song 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies' is absolutely amazing!"

"Indeed! "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" is the best Cantonese rock I have ever heard. I never thought Yoyo could speak Cantonese. I hope he can write more songs like this!"

"That's right, I haven't heard such a beautiful Cantonese song in a long time. It's like listening to heavenly music!"

"Am I the only one who is looking forward to Yoyo singing "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies"? This song would definitely have a different feel if Yoyo sang it!"

"No, you're not alone!"

It was clearly a hot search about the Thorn Boys Group, but more than half of the comments were about Bai Xingjian.

The fans of Thorn Boys were so furious, however, they really couldn't find any good excuses. After all, it was not so easy to win against the odds, and it was a foregone conclusion that Thorn Boys would be eliminated for the second time.

However, if one way doesn't work, there is another way.

On Weibo, in an official group of 2000 members of the group Thorn Boys, fans were discussing the issue passionately.

"Girls, even though our group was eliminated, we must not let Bai Xingjian, the culprit, have an easy time! Aren't GoldenCold still on the show? They should be the biggest obstacle for Fenghuang Yufei to win the championship, so from now on, we have to support GoldenCold, let them win the championship, and piss Bai Xingjian off to death!"

"Got it! I'll change my ID to: 10-year GoldenCold fan."

"I'm going to change Wang Yaqi's profile picture!"

"I'll replace Lee Jin-seok!"

"I'll go get my previous Weibo account back now!"

"Go, go, go!"
