Chapter 155 Unexpected Ranking
When the song ended, the audience in front of the stage burst into thunderous applause.
Bai Xingjian on the stage was surprised. He thought that singing "No Makeup" tonight would not cause much response, but he did not expect that everyone seemed to like this song.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Your and Feng Shiqi's singing successfully made 10000 people reminisce about the past! ]
[Task Reward: Blind Box of the Work*1, Attribute Points*5]
Bai Xingjian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he and Feng Shiqi bowed to the audience, then left the stage.
……
“It’s a nice song, but why do I feel like ‘No Makeup’ is a bit thin?”
"It seems so!"
"Compared to the songs they sang in the previous two episodes, tonight's "No Makeup" is a bit simple in both arrangement and lyrics. This song seems like Bai Xingjian's stock from a long time ago."
"Indeed! This song "No Makeup" is a catchy song."
"But the effect is still very good. Judging from the audience's reaction, Phoenix Flying's ranking tonight should not be low."
Looking at the bustling comments in the live broadcast room, Su Caitao said with a smile: "Don't think that the song "No Makeup" is simple. The catchy melody and the plain lyrics are very intriguing. I have a feeling that this song may cause quite a stir in the future."
"Ah? Sister Taotao thinks so highly of this song?"
"But I feel like 'No Makeup' doesn't seem to have any advantages other than being catchy?"
"Sister Tao Tao, aren't you talking nonsense? Which song sung by Fenghuang Yufei didn't cause a response?"
Faced with these comments, Su Caitao just smiled intriguingly without giving any further explanation.
She knows that most of her fans are high school and college students. Now, everyone may not understand the meaning of the song when they first hear it, but they will naturally understand it after a while.
Maybe that’s what youth is like, it’s always a step behind.
……
After the Phoenix Flies, it was the turn of the last singer to perform, Vanxia.
This 24-year-old girl, who won the first place for two consecutive episodes, conquered many listeners with her strength.
As soon as he came on stage, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and the live broadcast room was also in an uproar.
"Yaya! My Yaya! Come on!"
"Go, go, go! Take first place tonight!"
"Liao Bei's performance was as expected, Fenghuang Yufei was mediocre tonight, Huang Fei was pretty good, and Shantimo was just OK. If Yaya can perform consistently, then she will definitely be the first tonight!"
"I understand! Ding Xin and Li Zijun don't have to say anything."
Vanxia lived up to everyone's expectations and her performance tonight was still impeccable.
Dressed in a black long dress, she looked like a saint from ancient Loulan. Her Arabian style and unique voice-changing technique added a lot of mystery to the songs she sang.
On the stage lit by dim lights, the singing that sounded like the sound of nature moved countless listeners.
Coupled with Vanxia's charming appearance, a wonderful audio-visual feast was presented to countless people, making everyone intoxicated and reluctant to leave.
Netizens in the live broadcast room had already been amazed by Vanxia's performance.
"It's perfect, Yaya!"
"Can you just kneel down and ask?"
"These layers of transitions are almost numb to me!"
"This song should only exist in heaven, it is rare to hear it in the world!"
"People are like the song title, Desert Rose, Desert Flower."
"There's no doubt that I'll take first place tonight!"
The eyes of the crowd are sharp, and the eyes of the singers in the preparation room are wide open.
"This little girl is really amazing!"
Ding Xin now feels both emotional and helpless. She hasn't felt this powerless for a long time.
Vanxia is such a great singer!
On the other side, Huang Fei covered his bald head, looking like he was about to grow a brain.
Did such a beautiful song really come from the mouth of this little girl?
This scene also made many viewers in front of the screen laugh.
Liao Bei, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but frown. He felt that his ranking today seemed to be only second.
……
When Vanxia finished the performance, all the audience stood up, and applause, screams, and shouts rang out one after another, and everyone was expressing their excitement to Vanxia.
Vanxia’s performance tonight was amazing!
This 24-year-old girl really brought them countless surprises!
The camera swept across the audience, and many netizens were moved by the enthusiastic response of the audience.
"It's hard to imagine that The Voice 2024 will be our home stadium."
"Even Liao Bei can't take back the advantage from Vanxia?"
"Adam is just a flash in the pan. Vanxia is the real big devil."
"Thanks to The Voice 2024, we have opened our eyes to the world's music scene."
"There's a huge gap, we need to improve, everyone!"
Amidst huge cheers, host He Ling returned to the stage and began to take control of the situation.
When the scene returned to silence, he said loudly: "Tonight's seven groups of online singers have all finished their performances, so how will the rankings be?"
“Before the final ranking is announced, let’s take a look at the top three in the second round of national predictions.”
He Ling took a card from the staff and immediately read:
"First place, Liao Bei."
"Second place, Phoenix in Flight."
"Third place, Vanxia."
"This is the result of the second round of national forecasts."
After the predicted rankings were announced, the live broadcast room exploded.
"Vanxia is only third? What kind of prediction is this? It's not reliable at all."
"For your information, the second round of public predictions is the collective choice of netizens after all singers have performed."
"Then I can see that Fenghuang Yufei has quite a lot of fans."
"What do you mean? Shouldn't Fenghuang Yufei be ranked second?"
"That's right! First is Fanxia, second is Liao Bei, and third is Suibian."
"Liao Bei is indeed a little overrated. He should be ranked behind Vanxia."
back-court.
All the singers came to the Singers' House and gathered together.
Looking at the predicted ranking announced in front, Liao Bei smiled rarely. He felt that he had hope of winning first place again.
As for this ranking, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Can this get the second place?
Netizens are really optimistic about their rapid development!
When the camera turned to Vanxia, she smiled slightly.
This is just a prediction and doesn't mean anything.
Shantimo, who dropped out of the predicted top three rankings tonight, also felt the pressure for the first time.
It seems that there are still some talented singers in the Chinese music scene.
In the Singer's Home, after a period of interaction between supporter Xiao Shen and the singers, the camera switched back to the scene.
"Then the final ranking will be officially announced next."
He Ling held a hand card and read out loudly under the nervous and expectant gazes of countless people:
"First place, Vanxia!"
There was a burst of cheers at the scene; this ranking was well-deserved!
Vanxia was very happy and excitedly high-fived the music partners around him, making the live broadcast room even more lively.
“Three first places!!!”
"Who else? I just want to ask who else?!!!"
"Winning the championship for three consecutive weeks! My Asian sister is awesome!"
"I shouldn't call you Yaya anymore, I should call you Guanguan!"
"Tonight's stage is officially crowned as a god!"
……
"No, what happened to Liao Bei and Fenghuang Yufei? Why did Fanxia get first place again?"
"I can only say that Mr. Liao Bei tried his best today. He has played at his best. As for Phoenix Flying... it's hard to say."
"I can't understand it. I really can't understand it! There are obviously better song choices, why did Fenghuang Yufei choose to sing "No Makeup" tonight? If they changed it to another song, such as "Map of Mountains and Rivers" or "The Seventh Chapter of Night", wouldn't they have won first place with their status? Why did they have to let a foreigner like Vanxia win first place three times in a row? The Chinese music scene is now completely disgraced!"
"It's really funny. The difficulty of singing the two songs you mentioned is not on the same level as the "No Makeup" sung by Fenghuang Yufei tonight, okay? Do you really think that you can sing "Mountain and River Map" and "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" whenever you want?"
"For Fenghuang Yufei, she can sing whenever she wants!"
"So? I sang and you guys stabbed me in the back, right?" There were constant controversies in the comments in the live broadcast room. In the studio, He Ling continued to announce the final ranking.
"Second place, Phoenix in flight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another round of loud applause from the audience.
But after they realized what was happening, the audience in the auditorium looked at each other in surprise.
The second place is Fenghuang Yufei! Not Liao Bei!
A corner of the audience.
"What's going on? When we were selecting three out of seven, didn't many people say they wouldn't choose Fenghuang Yufei's "No Makeup"? How come Fenghuang Yufei is ranked second now that the rankings are announced?"
"Could it be that someone says they don't want to vote, but their body is very honest?"
"Yes, I am! Who can blame the song "No Makeup" for making me feel like I'm back in my youth? I would be sorry for myself if I don't choose Fenghuang Yufei."
"Yes! Although "No Makeup" is a catchy song, putting that aside, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's performance tonight really made me revisit my high school experience... After evening self-study that day, she and I strolled on the tree-lined avenue under the dim lights..."
Some netizens in the live broadcast room also expressed surprise.
"No, can Fenghuang Yufei really get second place?"
"What's wrong? Can't Fenghuang Yufei be ranked second?"
"That's it! 'Undying' is worth it!"
"Are you excited to listen to a sleazy song? No wonder the Chinese music scene can't develop. It turns out that there is a problem from the source."
"The musical taste of our domestic audiences really needs to be improved."
"???"
"These comments are really hilarious. I suddenly agree with what a certain upvote said, [The gap between our Chinese music and European and American music is the smallest among singers]"
"Clicked!"
……
Singer's House.
Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were also surprised when they saw that they got second place.
Their mentality was the same as when they were preparing for the live broadcast, and they didn't have any expectations for tonight's ranking.
But I never expected that they could actually rank second!
It’s true that flowers planted with intention do not bloom, but willows planted with no intention of planting create shade.
"It seems that the jury was moved by 'No Makeup'!" Bai Xingjian muttered to himself, and high-fived Feng Shiqi with a smile on his face.
Seeing the two happy people, Ding Xin also showed a gratified look.
Huang Fei and Li Zijun, who were sitting together, looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi with envy.
And double is second!
Do you two new generation people really have to be so strong?
The two glanced at Vanxia beside them.
Well, there's a stronger one here.
It seems that the music scene will be dominated by young people in the future!
Huang Fei and Li Zijun looked at each other, both feeling quite emotional.
But soon, they both reacted.
No, one of us is 32 and the other is 34, which is the prime of our lives. How come the music industry is dominated by young people?
We are young people too, okay?
Liao Bei, who is no longer a young man, now looks a little gloomy.
Fenghuang Yufei ranks second, so doesn’t that mean his ranking is lower than Fenghuang Yufei’s?
It was understandable that she lost to Vanxia, after all, this girl had won first place twice before.
Can you lose to Fenghuang Yufei?
Liao Bei couldn't understand it. As a big name in the Chinese music scene, he didn't get first place tonight, but he should at least get second place, right?
But he actually lost to Fenghuang Yufei and didn't even get second place.
Where can he put his old face?
Especially when I think of what I said before the competition started...
Liao Bei's face turned completely black.
When He Ling announced that he won third place and the camera cut over, Liao Bei's smile seemed a little stiff and forced.
However, many netizens said it was very exciting.
"Comfortable, comfortable!"
"Hahahaha, looking at Liao Bei's expression, we won't hear news of him withdrawing from the competition again tomorrow, right?"
"Tomorrow? I guess I'll be able to hear the news before the live broadcast ends."
"Not really. Liao Bei should still know his limits now."
……
The subsequent rankings will be announced one by one.
Fourth place, Huang Fei.
Fifth place, Shantimo.
Sixth place, Li Zijun.
Seventh place, Ding Xin.
"Luckily, no one will be eliminated tonight, otherwise I would definitely have to leave."
After learning that she was ranked seventh, Ding Xin said to the camera.
The audience burst into laughter and praised her for her good attitude.
On the stage, He Ling began to connect with the singers in the backstage.
He asked: "First, let's ask Yaya, how do you feel now that you have been ranked first for the third time?"
After simultaneous translation by his music partner, Vanxia said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your recognition of me. I am honored to have won the first place three times on this wonderful stage. This is a great honor for me. I will continue to improve myself and bring you a better stage."
"Yaya, stop improving! If you improve any more, you'll really reach the ceiling!"
"What a motivated girl!"
"The Grammy is yours! The future is yours! The champion of "The Voice 2024" will also be yours!"
"Vanxia is so motivated, Fenghuang Yufei and you guys should also work hard!"
The audience in the live broadcast room were talking about it. He Ling took the microphone and continued to ask: "Fenghuang Yufei, this is the second time you have ranked second. What do you think about this?"
Feng Shiqi's lips curved with an arc: "Keep working hard and strive to win first place again!"
Bai Xingjian nodded and said in a resounding voice: "Second place is not our goal, first place is!"
"Hahaha, you two are really making me laugh! You act like this when choosing songs, but you're so stiff during interviews."
"I hope you two will keep your word!"
"It's great to have a goal! Come on, Fenghuang Yufei!"
"come on! Come on!"
There was a heated discussion in the live broadcast room.
At this moment, Bai Xingjian suddenly saw a task information refresh on the panel.
[New task released: Please ask the host and Feng Shiqi to rank first on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024" next week]
[Reward: 3 blind boxes of the work, 15 attribute points]
? ? ? ? ?
Bai Xingjian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
3 blind boxes of works? !
15 attribute points?!
Isn’t the reward for this mission too generous?
“It seems like this requires hard work!”
"And he's the type that tries harder and harder!"
Bai Xingjian murmured to himself, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
Fanxia, who was not far away, glanced at him and felt that Bai Xingjian had an aura that he had never seen before.
This guy is not simple!
At this time, He Ling also shifted the focus of the question to Liao Bei. He asked, "Brother Bei, you came in third place in your first return to the stage of The Voice of China after many years."
"What do you think about this?"
Liao Bei cleared his throat and said, "I haven't been back for a long time. I didn't expect that everyone's taste for music has changed. I think I still need to adapt for a while before I can get into the competitive state."
"[People's taste for music has changed], what does this sentence mean?"
"I guess it's implying that Fenghuang Yufei took second place tonight?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? He might just be saying that the song he sang tonight is an old song from more than 20 years ago."
"I don't believe it. How can Liao Bei be so naive? I think Fenghuang Yufei is naive. These two are still grinning foolishly."
……
After the connection session with the singer’s home ended, the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" tonight has come to an end.
The hosts He Ling and Hai Quan said a simple farewell to everyone.
Then, a video similar to previous ones was played.
This video only has two recordings.
One section is Chinese with processed timbre, and the other section is Japanese with processed timbre.
At the end of the video, four large golden characters [揭榜再至] appeared in the center of the screen.
