Chapter 143 "Singing 2024 Online", the national gate was broken?

Bai Xingjian rested in the hotel for a day, and on July 7, he rushed back to Linjiang Conservatory of Music to deal with graduation matters.

As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, his roommates and classmates who had been waiting for a long time greeted Bai Xingjian warmly.

"Fuck! The champion is back!"

"Brother Tongzi is awesome!"

"Brother Xingjian, can you sign an autograph?"

"Brother, can we take a picture together?"

After being busy for a while, Bai Xingjian finally sat on the bench in the dormitory which he had not seen for a long time.

"How's it going, man? Doesn't it feel good to be a big star?"

He Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled at Bai Xingjian.

"It's actually quite refreshing." Bai Xingjian grinned.

"Grass!"

He Chen roared, "I really let you install it, but it does look pretty cool."

Which composition student has not dreamed of becoming famous at a young age?
But now that I am about to graduate, I find that this dream is right in front of me but cannot be overcome.

But, someone just happened to cross it.

He Chen had mixed feelings, happy and sad at the same time. How could this person be his roommate?
"You have to defend your thesis at 2:30 this afternoon, are you ready?" Wang Huai asked.

"Of course I'm ready. After all, graduation is a big event in life."

Bai Xingjian simply picked a ready-made one. He planned to use "Guanghan Palace Breaking Formation Song" as his graduation project.

As for some related professional issues, I have already had some ideas in mind.

"Are you really ready?" Wang Huai asked again.

"Yes." Bai Xingjian nodded, "Just say it if you have something to say."

"That's great, come on, let's go out and take photos and sign autographs. I owe you a lot of favors these days in order to canvass for you, and you have to pay them back."

Wang Huai took out a camera from the drawer and brought a few memory cards with him.

It seems like we are going to take a lot of photos.

Seeing the camera, Bai Xingjian suddenly thought of something and blurted out, "Have we taken graduation photos yet?"

Wang Huai shook his head: "No, everyone is busy holding a concert outside the school. How can we shoot it if we can't get everyone together? So the time is set for this afternoon, and we will shoot it after the defense."

"That's good."

Bai Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief. He attached great importance to the graduation photos.

In the end, I can only recall most of my four years of college experience through this photo.

"Oh, by the way, our concert has also been confirmed. It will be held at 7pm on July 5th at Linjiang Central Park."

Wang Huai added.

At this time, He Chen smiled and asked Bai Xingjian: "Boy, why don't you bring your girlfriend to the concert? With her in our concert, it will definitely be a dazzling sight! It will definitely set off a fierce storm in Linjiang Central Park!"

"It depends on whether she wants to come." Bai Xingjian added: "Also, she is my cousin, not my girlfriend."

Zhu Hao smiled teasingly, "You two kissed, and you thought we didn't see it? And cousin?"

"That's right! And they kissed in front of tens of millions of people! Guys, didn't you see the trending searches on Weibo? Many netizens called your kiss the 'kiss of the century'. It was so romantic!"

He Chen hurriedly said that although that scene caused him to suffer countless critical hits and real typhoid fever, it also made him envious.

Wang Huai interrupted with a smile: "It's just flirting, these are just the flirtations of Tongzi and the others, so we shouldn't expose them."

"What the hell!" Bai Xingjian rolled his eyes at a few people and said, "Come on, stop talking nonsense here and go take pictures."

Wang Huai was in high spirits: "Go, go, go!"

……

Matters such as taking photos, developing photos, signing, defending thesis, taking graduation photos, etc. were carried out in an orderly and smooth manner.

Bai Xingjian spent this busy day at school.

Time flies, and it is July 7th in a blink of an eye.

The sun is shining brightly in Linjiang City today, and it is destined to be a lively day.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the movie "Jianghu Fengyun" was released in major theaters, and its theme song "A Laugh in the Ocean" was also released on major music platforms.

In the cinema, accompanied by the ups and downs of the plot, the audience felt the heroic spirit in the world of rivers and lakes, as well as the desolation and vicissitudes of life in the world of rivers and lakes, and even more so the feeling of being insecure and helpless after entering the world of rivers and lakes.

Especially when "A Laugh in the Ocean" sounded at the right time, the audience's feelings were intensified.

"I heard that the theme song of this movie was composed by Bai Xingjian from the champion band Phoenix in Flight?"

"Yes, it's him! But the one who sang "A Laugh in the Ocean" was not him. I thought he would sing it again."

"I feel that this singer sings very well. If Bai Xingjian were to sing, he might not be able to convey the same feeling. After all, Bai Xingjian is too young."

"Yes, a little bit. Judging from the voice, the person singing this song should be quite old. It gives it a special feeling."

“But I have to say that this song is really well-written. As soon as the melody sounded, the feeling of belonging to the underworld came out instantly.”

"Bai Xingjian is really amazing! I don't know how he can write such a gangster-like song."

Countless moviegoers were filled with emotion.

Beijing, Universal Pictures office building.

After the first screening of "Jianghu Fengyun" ended, the film's creative team nervously opened Douban Movie Network to see what people were saying about the film.

"I've finished watching it. Jianghu Fengyun has completely satisfied all my imaginations of the martial arts world!"

“+1, Director Dai Guanhai is really awesome!”

"Some people don't like this ending. Is the acting director deliberately exaggerating the tragic tone? The protagonist's brothers and sisters were all planning to retire from the martial arts world, but they still ended up dying."

"Isn't the Jianghu the world of things that are unpredictable? Where there are people, there are grudges. Where there are grudges, there is the Jianghu. People are the Jianghu. As long as people are alive, it is impossible to leave the Jianghu."

"Indeed! As the saying goes, 'Once you enter the imperial court, it's like entering a deep sea. You can still retire one day after achieving success, but once you enter the martial arts world, there is no way back.' You can't just quit the martial arts world whenever you want."

“‘A Laugh in the Ocean’ is also very good. This song has a very Jianghu feel to it!”

"This song is absolutely amazing! Roger also sang it very well! He managed to sing three different flavors in one song! The first is the freedom and ease of living in the martial arts world, the second is the heroic spirit of the martial arts world, and the third is the desolation and loneliness behind the confrontation between the martial arts world and the imperial court. The two people who composed and sang it are really amazing!"

"This song, 'A Laugh in the Sea', is the highest quality and most suitable theme song for a movie that I have ever heard in a domestic movie, bar none."

"I always feel that the movie Jianghu Fengyun is so similar to the MV of Cang Hai Yi Sheng Xiao."

"Don't say it! Don't say it!"

Looking at these comments, director Dai Guanhai was delighted. On a 10-point scale, the current score of "Jianghu Fengyun" is 8.6.

A very high rating!
The producer was very excited: "According to this rating trend, there is a high probability that the rating of our film Jianghu Fengyun will exceed 9.0! Is my goal of getting a movie rating of 9.0 in my life about to be achieved?"

"Maybe, maybe!"

“The audience response was great, so this is really possible!”

"Am I the only one who noticed that half of the comments about our movie were about the song 'A Laugh in the Ocean'?"

Other creators said.

Dai Guanhai discovered this very early on. He even saw a rather excessive comment saying that "Jiang Hu Feng Yun" was the MV of "Cang Hai Yi Sheng Xiao"?

He thought about it carefully.

Suddenly I thought about it and it was horrifying, it seemed that this feeling really existed.

Dai Guanhai said with a smile: "'A Laugh in the Ocean' really adds a lot of color to our movie. I feel that many of the high ratings of our movie are due to this song."

"It's worth it! The eight million is totally worth it!" The producer's tone was very excited, and he asked Dai Guanhai with a sharp gaze: "Director Dai, did the investors send you a message to say anything?"

Dai Guanhai shook his head. "Their reaction will probably be a little slow, but judging from the current results, they will definitely increase the publicity for Jianghu Fengyun, and the movie theaters will definitely increase the number of films..."

Before he could finish his words, Dai Guanhai's cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone, took a look at it, smiled and showed it to the people around him, then answered the call: "Mr. Zhu, yes, yes, yes..."

……

On Weibo, the movie "Jianghu Fengyun" and the song "A Laugh in the Ocean" both topped the hot search list, with countless netizens joining in the discussion.

The download volume of "A Laugh in the Ocean", which has been launched on major music platforms, has already exceeded 999, and the number of comments in the comment section of this song has exceeded + in minutes.

"When I heard this song while watching the movie, I got goose bumps all over my body! Who knows that feeling?"

"+1+1, especially when I heard the line [The breeze laughs, yet it causes loneliness], Roger's angry voice really hit the spot for me."

"Download it! I won't hesitate for two dollars!"

"That's right! I can't afford a movie ticket worth dozens of dollars, but can I afford a song worth two dollars?"

"Dude, you've made a killing! Let me tell you, the movie "Jiang Hu Feng Yun" is the music video for this song!"

"Hahaha, it's actually not that exaggerated!"

"I never thought such a song full of passion and vicissitudes was composed by Bai Xingjian."

"I want to apologize to him. I used to think that the songs created by Bai Xingjian would lower the quality of Jiang Hu Feng Yun. Now it seems that the clown is actually me."

"As a fan of Yoyo, I forgive you on his behalf."

"Oh, you're still representing?"

Because of Fenghuang Yufei's victory, Bai Xingjian has been a hot topic these days. Therefore, after seeing that he is the author of "A Laugh in the Sea", everyone couldn't help but discuss it.

But as time went on, everyone's topic shifted to the singer of "A Laugh in the Ocean", Roger.

Roger also became famous because of this, and there are signs that his career is experiencing a second spring.

When everyone was discussing "Jianghu Fengyun" and "A Laugh in the Sea", at noon, the official program team of "The Voice of China 2024" also officially announced the starting lineup.

As soon as the starting lineup was announced, it immediately aroused heated discussions among countless netizens.

"Ding Xin? Ding Xin is actually going to participate in this show?"

"If the queen of Chinese pop music doesn't come, who will?"

"With Sister Xin, the Goddess of Song, we are absolutely invincible!"

……

"Alaimu is coming too? Can the production team really not find a singer?"

"I really can't stand his singing style, let's eliminate him immediately!"

……

"Who is this foreign female singer Vanxia? I've never heard of her. Why is the quality of this season's program so low? They just invite some little Karamis to come?"

"Little Karami? Don't look down on me. My Vanxia is definitely the dark horse!"

……

"Yang Xilin?"

“This one is not very well-received.”

"At least they have the courage to come to the live show, okay? Unlike some singers, who don't dare to come when they see it's a live show with no audio editing."

……

"Treasure musician Li Zijun? Wasn't he the big devil in "New Era of Heavenly Group" a while ago? Why is he participating in "The Voice of China 2024" again? He doesn't write songs anymore, right?"

"Brother above, there is no conflict between being on a show and writing songs!"

“Looking forward to Li Zijun!”

……

"So who is this Shantimo?"

"This name sounds like a hero from a MOBA game."

"This person seems to be someone the production team brought in to help out. The previous cat lady couldn't come for some reason."

"I'm speechless... The Voice of China program has been around for more than 10 years, how come it's still just a makeshift team?"

"I was so excited for nothing."

……

"February Rose? This band is even more heavyweight."

“It’s hard to judge.”

"Spicy eyes."

"To be honest, I like Long Ge's mental state on stage."

"I just love February Rose. I can listen to their songs all night long!"

……

"Ah? The lineup has been officially announced?"

"We haven't seen each other for four years. This year's lineup is a bit lame!"

"With this lineup... they won't just choose Ding Xin as the singing king, right? No way?"

"No, where is my Fenghuang Yufei? Didn't Fenghuang Yufei come?"

"Please respect every singer, thank you!"

"See you live tonight!"

"The Chinese music scene will surely shine again in the international arena tonight!"

……

After seeing the starting lineup announced by the program team, countless people are looking forward to tonight's live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024".

However, Bai Xingjian had no time to take care of this matter. He and Feng Shiqi had already arrived at Linjiang Central Park.

"Is this your first time attending a small concert like this?"

In a large open space similar to a square in the park, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were arranged by their classmates behind the stage because it was inconvenient for them to show up.

Students Wang Huai, He Chen, Zhu Hao and others built a stage with the help of some relevant staff.

Looking at the busy figures around her, Feng Shiqi smiled and nodded: "What a special feeling, it's completely different from what we've seen on the show before."

Bai Xingjian was tuning his guitar. He used one hand to point to the stage in front of him and said, "Here, you can perform as you please. You can sing whatever you want and however you want. You don't have to worry about singing out of tune. The audience in the park is very patient."

"Can we sing '囍' later?" Feng Shiqi asked playfully, tilting her head. "Then let's forget it."

Bai Xingjian finished tuning his guitar and wiped the sweat off his face. "Of course, if you want to sing, that's fine. But if you do that, so many of us students might not be able to graduate successfully."

"You're kidding."

Feng Shiqi blinked her eyes and looked into the distance. She saw several female classmates handing out flyers for the concert, so she said:
"Ajian, let's go and help distribute flyers."

"Are you wearing a mask?" Bai Xingjian asked.

"Yeah." Feng Shiqi nodded.

"Then go."

After he finished speaking, Bai Xingjian put away his guitar, and went to distribute flyers with Feng Shiqi, putting on masks.

At this time, it was almost evening.

More and more tourists came into the park. When they saw the platform being set up here, they couldn't help but be attracted by their curiosity and gathered here.

This made the distribution of leaflets go extremely smoothly.

"Hey, Xiaoxia, do you think the big sister who handed out flyers to us just now was Feng Shiqi? Her eyes look similar to Feng Shiqi's!"

"How is that possible? Feng Shiqi is handing out flyers here? Aren't she and Bai Xingjian recording "The Voice of China 2024" at the Broadcasting Building tonight?"

"Maybe they just look alike."

A pair of girls who came to the park for fun stopped not far from the stage.

"Are we going to see this graduation concert?"

"Let's take a look. We're all here for the city walk anyway."

At this time, the stage construction work had been completed, and Wang Huai and his team began to debug the equipment.

During this period, some tourists came to watch, and the place became lively before the performance even started.

He Chen took the microphone and said, "The concert is about to begin, everyone please wait."

In front of the stage, the crowd was bustling.

"It turned out to be a group of college students who are about to graduate. I thought it was some celebrity who came here. How boring."

"Oh, let's go, what's so good about a song sung by a bunch of college students?"

"Why not go to the old man next door and watch them play spinning tops?"

Some onlookers took a few glances and then left.

Behind the stage.

A dozen boys and girls participating in the concert gathered together at this time to cheer each other up before the performance.

"Everyone sang with abandon. With Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi backing us up, we didn't have to worry about not having an audience in the end!"

"Yes! Just sing it!"

"Watch me show off my singing voice and shock the world!"

"I won't go home unless I sing a dolphin song tonight!"

"I advise you to be kind!"

"Miao Miao, is it okay for you to take the lead?"

"No problem at all!"

Miaomiao is a girl with good looks and outstanding figure. As soon as she came on stage, she attracted the attention of many audiences.

She picked up the microphone from the stand and said to the audience: "Thank you all for participating in our 'Music Time·Farewell Dreams' graduation concert. We are graduates from the Composition Department of Linjiang Conservatory of Music. Tonight, we will bring you a unique performance. During the performance, there will be heavyweight guests. This is definitely a very big surprise. Don't leave!"

Miao Miao's words piqued the curiosity of some viewers.

"I'd like to give you a song I wrote, "The Flowing Years,"!" Miaomiao said, and put the microphone back on the stand.

Wang Huai, He Chen, Zhu Hao and others who were responsible for the accompaniment played guitar, bass and other instruments.

"This girl wrote a pretty good song herself! It's pretty nice!"

"Linjiang Conservatory of Music is really amazing. After hearing about it, I want my children to study music there in the future."

"Of course not. Do you know Bai Xingjian who is very popular recently? He is a student of Linjiang Conservatory of Music."

“This school is amazing!”

"Flowing Years" left everyone wanting more. Applause broke out from the audience, and some audience members took out their phones to record the performance.

But Miaomiao only planned to sing this one song, and when the audience felt unsatisfied, another girl came on stage.

The audience was instantly pleased.

Backstage.

Listening to the beautiful singing voice of this girl, Feng Shiqi asked in surprise: "Are all the girls in your composition department so talented? Not only can they write songs, but they can also sing beautifully."

Bai Xingjian shook his head: "Miao Miao and Xiao Lai are both extremely talented, otherwise we wouldn't let them take the lead. You'll see it in a moment."

"So that's it."

Feng Shiqi nodded, then looked at Bai Xingjian and asked, "What about you?"

"I?"

Bai Xingjian raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently: "I am the most rare person in the world."

"You are the poorest."

Feng Shiqi gave him a charming look and continued listening to the song.

Not long after, when several boys were singing, Feng Shiqi also understood what Bai Xingjian said.

In front of the stage, some of the audience who had gathered began to leave.

"Oh my god, this boy's singing is like taking his life."

"I feel like it's not that he wants his life, but that he wants our lives."

"I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to withdraw first."

"Wait for me."

On the stage, Xiao Wang finished his singing.

Looking at the audience who had become scattered in front of the stage, he spread his hands helplessly.

"Do you want me to sing another song?" Xiao Wang said, holding up the microphone.

"roll!"

A rather sharp female voice sounded, "If you keep singing, the baby will be scared to tears."

Below the stage, a woman was holding the hand of a little boy about five or six years old.

There was a burst of laughter all around. He Chen, who was playing the accompaniment on the stage, also played a light-hearted and humorous piece of music on the keyboard, making the atmosphere a little more cheerful.

Xiao Wang shook his flowing long hair and walked backstage without looking back: "It seems like I am willing to sing for you. I won't wait any longer."

Another piece of light-hearted and humorous music sounded, and the audience who were still in front of the stage burst into laughter.

The performance continued and everyone took the stage in the order they had been arranged.

It was just because the impact Xiao Wang brought to the audience was really great, and there were not many audience members left by the end of the song.

Wang Huai patted Bai Xingjian on the shoulder and said, "Boy, it's a good thing you're here. If you weren't here, we would have to hire extras."

"Xiao Wang will pay for the extras." a classmate shouted.

"I'll pack it!" Xiao Wang replied.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Wang Huai waved his hand and said in a serious voice: "Next, anyone who wants to sing the three songs "Yellow", "Boundless Oceans and Skies" and "I Like You" can go to the stage and sing with Xing Jian and Sister Shi Qi. Be careful not to mess up the formation!"

"GOGOGO!"

"Singing with a big star!"

“Hahaha, I can sing these three songs!”

Soon, everyone came to the stage.

Some security personnel also came to the stage.

The audience who were still here were very confused. Was it the end when so many people suddenly appeared on the stage?
And where did these security guards come from? What were they doing?
Before they could think too much, the melody of "Yellow" sounded.

In front of the microphone stand, Bai Xingjian plucked the strings of the guitar, and Wang Huai, He Chen, Zhu Hao and others also accompanied him.

“Look at the stars”

"Look how they shine for you"

Bai Xingjian's quiet and warm voice floats in the melody.

The audience's eyes lit up, this song sounded a little familiar!
Farther away from the stage, a pair of girls who had come to the park for a visit heard the singing and looked at each other.

“Is this Yellow?”

"It sounds pretty good."

"But didn't they say they would sing original songs? Is this song also their original creation?"

"This sound... I have a bold idea."

"I have it too!"

"Oh my god! Go, go, go!"

The two girls ran back at a very fast speed like crazy.

Soon, the two of them returned to the stage.

Then the two of them froze in an instant, staring at Bai Xingjian on the stage in amazement.

It was not until a long while later that he recovered.

"Oh my god! It's really him!"

"This guest... is indeed quite important."

"So the older sister before was Feng Shiqi?"

"Yes, I saw her. The one standing next to Bai Xingjian was her!"

“This concert is amazing!”

Hearing the familiar singing voices, some audience members in front of the stage recognized Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, but everyone was very orderly and listened to the song quietly in front of the stage.

The audience who had left here before slowly came back following the singing, and later more and more audience gathered in front of the stage.

When the song "Yellow" ended, a voice suddenly rang out from the audience.

"Bai Xingjian, is that you?"

The sound is very loud and a small speaker is used.

"Yes, it's me." Bai Xingjian nodded with a smile.

"Bai Xingjian! My mom likes to listen to your songs! My dad likes to listen to your songs, my grandpa and grandma like to listen to your songs! My relatives like to listen to your songs too!"

The sound continued to come from the small speaker. Bai Xingjian took a closer look and it seemed to be a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Then I'm honored." Bai Xingjian held up the microphone and said, "But I have to make it clear that this handsome boy is not someone I hired."

There was a burst of laughter.

Bai Xingjian didn't chat for too long. "The next song I'm going to give to everyone is 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies'. Can those who can sing sing along?"

"it is good!"

Just like that, the whole audience started to sing in chorus.

Although many people don't speak Cantonese, they can sing anything.

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

“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"

The singing voices of the crowd floated over Linjiang Central Park, and the scene of everyone singing together was recorded by many viewers.

After "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies", Feng Shiqi also sang "I Like You".

Bai Xingjian was surprised to find that the audience seemed to like the cheaper sister more.

The cheers she made while singing really put him far behind.

Happy times always pass quickly. After singing the song "I Like You", at the strong request of the audience, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sang another song "Above the Moon" with the whole audience singing along.

When singing this song, the two of them felt much more relaxed. They just had to pass the microphone outward without having to speak themselves.

Bai Xingjian instantly began to like this feeling.

However, just as they were enjoying the joy brought by the music, the live broadcast room of Mango TV was already in an uproar.

"What is the final ranking?"

"Shantimo first? Vanxia second? Sister Ding third?"

"Wang Defa?! The first and second places were occupied by foreigners?"

"The hanging heart finally died."

"Well-deserved! I can only say that this ranking is well-deserved!"

"Well, Shantimo was actually nominated for a Grammy. How disrespectful!"

“Ding Xin: The Grammys have invited me, why didn’t the director tell me before the show started that this battle would be so difficult?”

"A 50-year-old Manchu woman guards the country's border alone."

"Yeh Nara core, stand up and resist the foreigners!"

"Program crew! Go and invite some singers to help Sister Ding perform!"

"Everyone, the current situation is extremely serious! Let me explain that this program is a last-place elimination system. That is, if we can't find a few singers who can dominate the show, in the end it may be Ding Xin who will fight against six countries alone!"

"Hahahaha, is this the fate of the Yehenara clan?"
