Chapter 156: Songgu

"Japanese? Which Japanese person is coming here?"

"The internal troubles haven't been solved yet, and the external troubles are coming again?"

"So who is it? A man or a woman?"

"I can't tell. This sound has been specially processed."

"What about the other Chinese singer who speaks Chinese? Who is that person?"

The two audio clips broadcast at the end of the live broadcast sparked discussions among countless viewers.

……

"Are there any Japanese singers among the top singers? How rare."

"Could it be Nakajima Miyuki?"

"Dude, how can I come when I'm already in my seventies?"

"What about Izumi Sakai?"

"??? Are you serious?"

"Could it be Mei Yi Li Ya? Didn't she come to Linjiang last year to participate in another program on Mango TV?"

"Probably!"

"Sister Taotao, what do you think?"

After the live broadcast of the fourth episode of "The Voice of China 2024" ended, there were still many viewers lingering in Su Caitao's Xinghuo live broadcast room.

Looking at these comments, Su Caitao smiled and said, "It's hard to guess. Before the program team announces the exact news, anyone could come. All we can say is that the singers who come will be relatively heavyweights."

At this point, Su Caitao paused: "Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be dark horse singers, just like Vanxia. When the show started, no one thought that she would be so popular on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024"."

The live broadcast room was bustling with comments:

“Hahaha, I thought that this little girl Vanxia would amaze everyone, but I never thought that she could stay champion for three weeks in a row.”

"Before the start of "The Voice of China 2024", I thought that the Vanxia production team had just brought in little Karami to make up the numbers, but after only one month of broadcasting, she took first place for three weeks."

"Yeah! Who would have thought of that?"

"Fenghuang Yufei is really not good! I thought they could get first place this week!"

"Forget about first place. It's already beyond my expectation that Fenghuang Yufei can take second place tonight. I hope they can sing a stronger new song next week!"

"That's it!"

"By the way, Liao Bei seems to have some complaints about Fenghuang Yufei's ranking."

"Have complaints? I think he is trying to change the subject because he is embarrassed to be ranked third."

"Hahahaha, after all the fanfare before the competition, Liao Bei only got third place. I guess he's so speechless that he wants to quit now."

"Can you please respect the elders?"

"Respect him? Is there anything respectable about him?"

Seeing that there was a sign of quarrel in the live broadcast room, Su Caitao quickly said, "Okay, family, it's getting late, let's end tonight's live broadcast here. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, Bai Xingjian will have his first performance on Songgu. We will see you then. Bye~"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for the audience in the live broadcast room to respond, Su Caitao turned off the live broadcast, leaving the audience who were still typing on the keyboard in front of the screen speechless.

No, where is the live broadcast room?
……

An upscale residential area along the river.

Sitting on the sofa in front of the large LCD TV, Wang Yaqi's face was full of smiles.

Vanxia is number one again!

Although Fenghuang Yufei came in second, they seemed to have been implicated by Liao Bei!
"Hahaha, I'm afraid there will be another good show to watch on the hot searches tonight."

Wang Yaqi is in a very good mood now. "Vanxia has been ranked first for three weeks. The Chinese singers invited by the program team are not good enough!"

Li Zhenxi also sneered, "Fenghuang Yufei can only get second place for singing such a sloppy song, it's better to let us GoldenCold sing it."

"Yes!"

Wang Yaqi squeezed the doll in her hand quite hard and said through gritted teeth, "The program team has found two more groups of singers to take the lead, but we at GoldenCold still haven't received any relevant invitation information. These people in the program team really don't know what's good for them."

"Hahaha."

Li Zhenxi grinned and said, "But our GoldenCold should be on this show soon."

Hearing this, Wang Yaqi turned around and looked at him curiously: "Ah? Why do you say that?"

Li Zhenxi explained with a smile: "Tonight, Bai Xingjian sang a catchy song, which is very rare. Singing a catchy song on a very serious stage like "The Voice of China 2024"? I think he probably doesn't have many new songs, otherwise he wouldn't have been forced to sing this song "No Makeup"."

Wang Yaqi's eyes lit up: "It seems to be true!"

Li Zhenxi continued with a smile and said, "And the reason why Fenghuang Yufei sang new songs is probably largely due to the program team's request. If Bai Xingjian doesn't have new songs, then Fenghuang Yufei's value to the program will be greatly reduced. If GoldenCold can come up with new songs, the program team will definitely invite us."

Wang Yaqi smiled brightly, but the smile on her face quickly disappeared.

Because she thought about it carefully, and felt that Bai Xingjian's situation did not seem to be as Li Zhenxi said.

Wang Yaqi asked, "But if Bai Xingjian really doesn't have any new songs, why did he participate in the show "Song Gu" this week?"

"When I saw the news that Bai Xingjian was participating in "Song Gu", I learned that many songs in the program were written on the spot and were specially adapted from ancient poems. There is no gold content at all."

Li Zhenxi's lips curled up slowly, "So tomorrow night on the stage of Songgu, we can probably see how good Bai Xingjian's recent creative ability is. If the lyrics and music of the song he sings tomorrow night are all written by people related to Songgu, then this means that Bai Xingjian's recent creative ability is indeed a bit sluggish, and it's not long before he runs out of new songs."

"Okay, then set an alarm and watch the show Songgu at 8 o'clock tomorrow night."

Wang Yaqi's smile reappeared in her eyes. She picked up her phone, set an alarm for 7:50 tomorrow night, and then opened Weibo.

"Weibo is destined to be not quiet tonight."

……

As in previous episodes, after the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" ended tonight, many topics related to the show rushed to the Weibo hot search list.

Among them, the top search topic is naturally the fact that Vanxia won the first place for the third time.

[Vanxia is number one again!!!]

There is a red word "explosion" suffix at the end of this entry. There is no doubt that many people have participated in the discussion of this topic.

"Too strong! Too strong! Too strong!"

"Let me tell you a ghost story. So far, Vanxia hasn't used any of her special skills. The four songs she sang are just her areas of expertise."

"Really? Don't be scary!"

"I can only say that the stage of "The Voice of China 2024" is too unchallenging. Judging from Yaya's current strength, she is just showing off herself and doesn't take this as a competition at all. On the contrary, our domestic singers have been emphasizing rankings, like the one who came to fill in our spot tonight."

“It’s true, I feel like Fenghuang Yufei didn’t treat this stage as a competition. The song they sang tonight really shocked me.

……

[Phoenix Yufei's new song "No Makeup" is ranked second again! ]

This entry ranked second on the hot search list, and there were many doubts and criticisms amid everyone's heated discussions.

"I really don't think this song "No Makeup" can take second place. Whether it's singing skills or stage performance, it's far inferior to Liao Bei's "Rescue."

"Yes, Fenghuang Yufei is not worthy!"

"I don't know what Fenghuang Yufei was thinking. Singing a cliché song on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024"? Does Bai Xingjian have no new songs? If not, then just sing the old songs honestly. Singing such a cliché song will immediately lower the level of "The Voice of China 2024". "

"Hey! I really don't understand Fenghuang Yufei's song selection. The first song they sang, "Huo Yuanjia," was pretty good. But the following "A Thousand Miles Away" and tonight's "No Makeup," please comment. Are these two songs really suitable for the competition?"

"Can the production team interfere with Fenghuang Yufei's song selection? If the two of them continue to mess around like this, when will our Chinese singer get first place?"

"If Fenghuang Yufei continues like this, we might as well ask GoldenCold to replace them."

"You can invite GoldenCold, but it would be a bit awkward to ask them to replace Fenghuang Yufei."

"Awkward? What's so awkward about this? Fenghuang Yufei is unworthy of his position now!"

……

It's half past twelve in the morning.

After returning to the hotel, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, who were having dinner at the table, naturally saw some of the criticisms about them on Weibo.

"Ajian, do you think we should tell everyone the reason behind choosing the song "No Makeup"?"

Feng Shiqi wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, looked at Bai Xingjian and said, "If we let netizens continue to discuss this, I guess there will be more and more criticism."

"Are you going to tell everyone about your period?" Bai Xingjian looked at her and said in a slightly cold voice, "There is no need to explain this. It is our own business to decide which song we want to sing. We don't need others to tell us what to do."

Feng Shiqi blinked her beautiful eyes: "Are you angry?"

Bai Xingjian was stunned and looked at her: "No."

"Then why are you so cold?" Feng Shiqi asked in a tender voice.

Bai Xingjian said, "Who told you to tell such a private matter to others?"

"What plan? Didn't I ask for your opinion?"

"Ask for my opinion? What would you say if I agree?"

"I just said I had a cold and my throat hurts. Who would be so nice to say on Weibo that they have their period?"

Feng Shiqi tilted his head and looked at Bai Xingjian: "How stupid."

Bai Xingjian: “…”

...After dinner, Bai Xingjian prepared to open a few blind boxes.

To be honest, it must be false that some voices on the Internet have no effect on him at all.

Besides, who doesn’t want to take first place on the stage of “The Voice of China 2024”?

Bai Xingjian certainly wanted to, but unfortunately the songs he had now were not enough to help him get first place.

Therefore, the important thing is to open a few blind boxes as soon as possible. Moreover, the rewards for the tasks released by the system this time are extremely generous, and Bai Xingjian is very tempted.

After taking a bath, Bai Xingjian sat cross-legged on the bed, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and recited devoutly:
"Opening blind boxes for the rise of Chinese culture."

The words fell.

【Congratulations to the host for winning the song "A Bridge of Fate"! 】

【Blind box of works: 3】

"A bridge of fate?"

"The song that became a hit in a bad movie?"

Bai Xingjian was very surprised. "If I can perform consistently, I should be able to win first place with this song, right?"

……

time flies.

"Boom boom boom——"

At 7:50 the next evening, Wang Yaqi's life-threatening alarm clock rang.

She turned off the alarm clock with a start and began to prepare melon seeds and peanuts for tonight's show.

After a while, a small pile of snacks was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi also sat on the sofa in a comfortable posture.

Both of them had expectant smiles on their faces. Since the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" ended last night, there have been a lot of insults about Fenghuang Yufei on the Internet, which made Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi feel quite happy.

"I hope Bai Xingjian will also sing a catchy song on Songgu tonight, then Fenghuang Yufei's reputation will get worse and worse."

Watching "Songgu" on TV, Wang Yaqi said with glee.

"If that's the case, then Bai Xingjian is finished." Li Zhenxi smiled and shook his head, "With the help and review of the program team, the songs Bai Xingjian sings will not have the tendency to be 'cheesy songs' anyway."

"It seems so." Wang Yaqi was eating melon seeds. "So when will Bai Xingjian appear?"

……

While Wang Yaqi was waiting, many of Bai Xingjian's fans and netizens who heard the news in the past few days were sitting in front of their TVs, computers, or mobile phone screens to watch "Song Gu".

In the data center where the "Song Gu" program team is located, director Xu Jun looked at the real-time number of online viewers of the latest episode of "Song Gu" displayed on the computer and widened his eyes slightly.

"Tonight's episode has over 150 million people online?! That's 30 more than the last episode?!"

Xu Jun's tone was filled with disbelief, "Is this Bai Xingjian's influence?"

For a variety show that is not live, more than 150 million online users are already very high. Even when "Running Man" was at its peak, the real-time number of online users in the latest episode was only more than 200 million.

"Songgu" and "Running Man" are completely different programs in different leagues, but the data of "Songgu" tonight is only 50 less than that of "Running Man" at its peak. This shows the value of the 150 million+ online users.

"If the ratings of Songgu don't go up tonight, I'm not named Xu!"

Xu Jun yelled angrily, staring at the computer screen with red eyes.

……

"I'm here for Brother Xingjian!"

"+1+1!"

"It's a pity that Sister Shiqi is not here tonight. It would be even better if we could still see Sister Shiqi!"

"Brother Youxing Jian is already very good. Listening to his new songs for two consecutive days, what kind of divine treatment is this?"

"Hahaha! That's right! With this kind of treatment, I wonder who else would receive it!!!"

"So where is Brother Xingjian? When will Brother Xingjian come out?"

"21:54"

"Thanks to the location guy, I'll jump right in!"

"It's only twenty minutes. I can't make it in time. Let me watch it for a while to get familiar with the show first."

The TV screen was filled with comments.

Looking at so many comments about Bai Xingjian, Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi couldn't help but feel depressed.

Bai Xingjian is really popular now!
"Just read half of this barrage. It's a bit dizzying to see so many of them." Wang Yaqi muttered.

Li Zhenxi nodded, picked up the remote control and started operating it.

They did not choose to fast forward. After all, there was plenty of time, and it would not matter if they watched a few more minutes to get to know the program.

What if “Songgu” invites GoldenCold to be on the show one day?
……

Hotel living room.

Feng Shiqi was sitting cross-legged on the sofa wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and slender white neck. The slim-fitting short-sleeved shirt also made her bust, which was usually hidden, appear to have a shocking curve. Following the curve, her slender waist suddenly narrowed, and her snow-white, slender and well-proportioned legs were shown under her casual shorts.

Bai Xingjian, who came over with a fruit plate, glanced at her.

Well, and also wearing a pair of white ankle socks.

"Ajian, come and sit here." Feng Shiqi patted the seat next to her.

"Eat?"

Bai Xingjian handed the fruit plate to her, and Feng Shiqi took a piece of fried watermelon:

"Thank you, Jane!"

Bai Xingjian then handed the fruit plate to Mei Jie who was on the other side of Feng Shiqi.

Mei Jie took a piece of cantaloupe: "Thank you, Brother Xing Jian!"

"You're welcome."

Bai Xingjian smiled, placed the fruit plate on the coffee table in front of them, took half a peeled apple and sat down.

Feng Shiqi looked at the TV and asked curiously, "Ah Jian, what song are you singing tonight? Can you tell me?"

"You still don't know even if I tell you." Bai Xingjian chewed an apple: "It's a new song."

"Just say something." Feng Shiqi used the Iron Mountain Backstroke and bumped into Bai Xingjian softly.

Bai Xingjian turned his head to look at her and said, "Sister Qi, I think you should wear suspenders."

"Sling?"

Feng Shiqi's pupils trembled, and after being stunned, a blush began to spread on her cheeks.

Mei Jie next to her also turned her head to look at Bai Xingjian in shock.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the sling?"

Looking at the two people who were somewhat surprised, Bai Xingjian asked in confusion.

"No no."

Feng Shiqi shook her head with a half-smile, and stood up from the sofa while saying, "I happen to have one in my room. I'll go change now."

Meijie blinked.

"No, no." Bai Xingjian quickly pulled her back, his forehead sweating a little, and grinned, "I said it wrong, I just said it wrong, I meant to say suspenders instead of suspenders, I was a bit mistaken."

"Really?" Feng Shiqi glanced at him.

"Yeah." Bai Xingjian nodded sincerely and explained, "I have a friend who likes to play basketball in overalls. The Iron Mountain Backbone is his secret to fame, so I said that just now."

"Oh, I see." Feng Shiqi nodded, not quite understanding, and sat down again.

Mei Jie breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was just a small misunderstanding.

Just now, the filter of Bai Xingjian in her heart was almost shattered.

After this little incident, the living room suddenly became quiet except for the sound of the TV.

To ease the atmosphere, Bai Xingjian said, "I sang a song about Yue Fei, called "Last Night's Book". An expert will explain it later."

"Yue Fei? The book last night?" Mei Jie was stunned and quite shocked.

Wasn't Fenghuang Yufei nicknamed Yue Fei by netizens some time ago? !
And that night, Brother Xing Jian also posted a Weibo post? !

This creative ability is too strong!

At this time, Bai Xingjian's figure also appeared on the TV screen.

He walked out slowly in a black suit and came to the side of the host.

"He's quite handsome, Ajian." Feng Shiqi said.

"Not bad." Bai Xingjian nodded with a smile.

Mei Jie also smiled, and the three of them stared at the TV screen intently.
