Chapter 159: A Bridge of Fate
As soon as Bai Xingjian’s Weibo post was released, it quickly caused a sensation.
Countless netizens heard the news and directly pushed this Weibo post to the top of the hot searches.
"So handsome bro!!!"
"Oh my god, what's going on with Bai Xingjian?"
"Is he declaring war on Shantimo and Jujinyi?"
"Hahaha, is Brother Xing Jian finally going to show off his big moves on the stage of The Voice 2024?"
"Got it. Phoenix will be first tomorrow night!"
"Things are accomplished through secrecy, and ruined through disclosure. It's not okay for Bai Xingjian to say it out loud like this."
"Will the song 'Last Night's Book' really work? I doubt it."
……
Many singers in the online camp were quite surprised after seeing the Weibo post by Bai Xingjian.
"Is this what young people are like? They are really energetic!"
Ding Xin smiled and expressed her feelings while liking Bai Xingjian's Weibo post.
……
"Oh my god! Bai Xingjian is so tough?!"
When Li Zijun saw this Weibo post, his eyes widened and he almost jumped out of bed.
He sighed: "I should have posted on Weibo earlier. After all, tomorrow night may be my last time on "The Voice 2024"."
After thinking for a while, Li Zijun reposted Bai Xingjian's Weibo post and wrote:
[It’s handsome! It’s handsome! ]
……
"Are you going to go all out?" Huang Fei's mouth slowly raised an arc, "Then we'll see who is more powerful tomorrow night."
……
Liao Bei shook his head in disdain: "The higher everyone praises you now, the more miserable you will be when you fall tomorrow night."
"First, is it something you can covet?"
"What I didn't get last week, I must get it back in person this week!"
……
"If I had known that you guys wanted to compete for first place, I would have changed the song."
Vanxia curled his lips and lay on the lazy sofa in a depressed mood, "Please don't eliminate me tomorrow night..."
……
"You are so young and energetic."
Shantimo looked at the Weibo and smiled, "But I will be the first tomorrow night!"
……
Wang Yaqi looked at the Weibo post by Bai Xingjian and widened her eyes: "No, where does he get his confidence from?"
Li Zhenxi didn't quite understand: "Could it be that the positive reviews of "Last Night's Book" gave him confidence?"
Wang Yaqi blinked her eyes. "That may be true. However, if this happens, Bai Xingjian will definitely attract Ju Jinyi's attention. In tomorrow night's live broadcast, as the singer who unveiled the list, Ju Jinyi will probably challenge him."
"Bai Xingjian is walking into the muzzle of a gun!"
Li Zhenxi smiled in surprise: "He doesn't really think that singing "Last Night's Book" on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024" will be very effective? Ju Jinyi's ability is not low!"
Wang Yaqi's smile was too bright: "There will be something to watch in the live broadcast tomorrow night!"
……
That night, many people were discussing the Weibo post released by Bai Xingjian, but he, as the person involved, slept soundly with the reward given by the system.
Time flies and it is Friday, August 8nd.
Half an hour before the live broadcast started, seven groups of singers from the online camp gathered together to draw the singing order for the live broadcast.
In a drawing session that was quite effective, Fenghuang Yufei drew the finale position, and Fanxia drew the last position to perform.
"What's going on with your two groups? Is the order of appearance in this live broadcast the same as last time?"
Huang Fei, who got along well with everyone, asked Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and Fan Xia.
"The goddess of luck is on our side." Feng Shiqi smiled faintly.
"You are so lucky!" Li Zijun couldn't help but sigh.
"There are two groups of singers here tonight. With their challenge, the order of our performance will probably be broken down, and we may not necessarily perform in that order." Ding Xin smiled and looked at Fenghuang Yufei and Vanxia with a meaningful look in her eyes.
In her eyes, they are the singers that Black Tiger Band and Ju Jinyi are most likely to challenge tonight.
"That's right!"
The interactive host Xiao Shen said: "The rules are as Sister Xin said. The singing order tonight is just a reference. Everyone should be ready to perform on stage at any time later."
When the singer who announced the winner was mentioned, the air pressure in the room suddenly dropped a lot.
If the singer succeeds in his challenge, there will be elimination spots among the online singers tonight.
As for how many places there will be, the minimum is probably 1.
After all, the strength of Ju Jinyi, the Japanese male singer, should not be underestimated!
Li Zijun, Huang Fei and Liao Bei couldn't help but glance at Bai Xingjian.
Ju Jinyi's challenge opponent tonight is most likely you, Fenghuang Yufei!
……
In the studio, as the time reached eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast of the fifth episode of "The Voice 2024" officially began.
As soon as the live broadcast room was connected, countless netizens crowded in and posted comments frantically.
"sofa!"
"Ju Jinyi! Ju Jinyi!"
"Phoenix is flying, go, go!"
"The first place tonight will belong to Fenghuang Yufei!"
"Fenghuang Yufei represents Chinese singers and takes the damn first place!"
Lights flickered on the futuristic stage.
Amid the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience, hosts He Ling and Hai Quan came to the front of the stage and delivered opening remarks.
the other side.
Music critic Su Caitao, as usual, opened a live broadcast room on Xinghuo Video to discuss tonight's live broadcast of "The Voice 2024" with netizens.
Although the popularity of Su Caitao's live broadcast room is far from that of the official one, it can still maintain 1 to 2 people online each time, which makes other music critics quite envious.
[Sister Taotao, do you think Phoenix Flying can take first place tonight? ]
[Will Ju Jinyi challenge Fenghuang Yufei tonight? 】
[If Ju Jinyi challenges Fenghuang Yufei, who has a higher chance of winning? ]
In the live broadcast room, these three are the most frequently mentioned issues.
Su Caitao answered them one by one: "The first question is not easy to answer, after all, I haven't heard of "A Bridge of Fate", but the only thing I can be sure of is that the probability of Fenghuang Yufei singing this song and winning first place is probably higher than the probability of Bai Xingjian singing "Last Night's Book" alone."
"After all, a united husband and wife can accomplish anything, hahahaha."
Su Caitao laughed in front of the camera.
This morning, the program team of "The Voice of China 2024" announced the playlist for this live broadcast, so everyone knows which songs the singers will sing.
"As for the second question."
Su Caitao smiled strangely: "If Bai Xingjian hadn't posted that Weibo, Ju Jin probably wouldn't have challenged Fenghuang Yufei, but since Bai Xingjian posted that Weibo, I think Ju Jin probably would have challenged them."
"Bai Xingjian is in trouble!"
"He's really going too far this time! Ju Jinyi is going to sing 'Boring' tonight, which is a very powerful song!"
"You can fight if you want, but I still believe in the Phoenix Flying!"
"That's right! If you want to take first place, you have to surpass these singers. If Ju Jin Yi is difficult for Fenghuang Yu Fei, how can you take first place?"
Netizens are talking a lot.
Su Caitao nodded: "Everyone is right. As for Fenghuang Yufei's chances of winning against Ju Jinyi..."
At this point, Su Caitao lifted her hair and said, "I'm not sure either. The song 'Boring' is really good, but Fenghuang Yufei always brings us surprises, so... let's split it 50-50 between them and Ju Jin."
"Fifty-fifty?"
"I don't think it's that high. Four or six is enough."
"Sanqi!"
"Bullshit! Ten to zero!"
……
On the stage in the studio, He Ling introduced to everyone the two groups of singers who would be taking part in the competition tonight, the Black Tiger Band and Ju Jinyi.
After the introduction, the Black Tiger band began to choose the singers they wanted to challenge.
Amid countless expectant gazes, the leader of the Black Tiger band said, "I choose Shantimo."
As soon as the words fell, the scene was in an uproar.
"Seriously? Black Tiger, are you serious?"
"The song that Shantimo sang tonight is really good. It's obvious that she's here to compete for first place tonight. You guys are just asking for trouble if you challenge her!"
"I've already thought of a title for this part: Black Tiger Band, No Time to Die!"
“It feels like Shantimo’s confidence is coming back.”
"I feel like the chances of Ju Jinyi challenging Fenghuang Yufei have increased a lot."
……
Shantimo, who was in the preparation room, couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard that the singer to be challenged was her.
Why is it that every time the list is announced, there are singers challenging her?
Does this mean she's easy to bully?
It would have been fine if Fenghuang Yufei had succeeded in revealing the list before, it was because these two little guys were really amazing.
But tonight, you band should go home early!
Shantimo, who was originally scheduled to perform fourth, also became the first singer to perform tonight.
Shantimo, wearing a sequined red dress, made everyone feel what it means to be stunning as soon as she appeared on the stage. And when she finished singing the song for tonight's performance, this sense of stunning was magnified to an indescribable degree.
"Is there a line in Shantimo that's too early? And she keeps repeating the word 'I'?"
"Yes, Shantimo came in early, but her repetition of 'I' didn't feel out of place at all."
"I think it's no exaggeration to call it 'divine rescue'!"
"Indeed! Her ability to respond to situations on the spot is amazing! Is this the strength of a Grammy-level singer?"
"And her high-pitched high-leg kick went straight to my heart!"
“Although there are some flaws overall, the merits outweigh the flaws, especially the part where he saved the game from a mistake, which can even be called a highlight.”
"She's almost 60... It's a miracle that Shantimo can still sing such explosive high notes!"
"There is no harm without comparison! Xinzi! Look at other people's 57, and then look at your 57!"
"Hahaha, tonight Shantimo is like a female general in a red dress, very majestic and natural, holding a spear turned into a microphone, directly smashing the Chinese music scene!"
"Shantimo will definitely be first tonight!"
"agree!"
Everyone gave positive reviews to Shantimo's performance tonight.
When the song ended, the audience in front of the stage burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
Su Caitao smacked her lips in front of the screen, "The Black Tiger Band is in trouble tonight!"
She is half a fan of the Black Tiger band, but after seeing Shantimo's performance tonight, she couldn't help but worry about the band.
The fact was just as Su Caitao thought, the Black Tiger Band's performance tonight was amazing, but it was still three points behind Shantimo.
As for the results of the challenge, they have been kept secret as in previous periods and will not be announced until all the singing performances are completed.
……
"Next, please ask Ju Jinyi to choose the opponent you want to challenge."
On the gorgeous stage, He Ling connected with Ju Jinyi who was in the preparation room.
The live broadcast room was quite lively at this time, with a lot of comments.
"Phoenix in flight. Danger!"
"Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have no way to escape!"
"I don't believe Ju Jin will challenge any singer other than Fenghuang Yufei."
"If Ju Jinyi succeeds in his challenge, Bai Xingjian will probably have to bear the blame."
"I hope Fenghuang Yufei can guard the country's borders. After all, Ju Jinyi is a Japanese who lives a good life."
in front of the screen.
Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi watched the TV intently.
When the words "Phoenix Flying" came out of Ju Jin's mouth, the two of them suddenly burst into shouts of surprise.
“Hahahaha! Ju Jinyi actually challenged Fenghuang Yufei!”
"That's right! That's right!"
"If Fenghuang Yufei is successfully challenged tonight, they will definitely become the target of netizens' attacks, and Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi will also become the laughing stock!"
"Phoenix Yufei has fallen from the altar. Now is our GoldenCold's chance!"
Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi couldn't stop laughing. They clapped their hands, as if they had already seen the miserable scene after Fenghuang Yufei's failure.
……
"Ju Jinyi has made his choice."
He Ling held up the microphone and said, "Next, let's invite Fenghuang Yufei to perform the song "A Bridge of Fate" for us."
"Everyone welcomes you with applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was particularly loud applause and cheers from the audience.
"The Phoenix is flying! Go, go, go!"
"Down with Ju Jinyi!!!"
"It's time to win glory for our country! Come on, Phoenix Yufei!!!"
"Just do it!"
The commotion created by the live audience this time was unprecedented.
Several Japanese judges in the audience felt as if their ears were about to be shattered by the roar at the scene.
Is the group Fenghuang Yufei so popular in China?
The singers in the preparation room were also shocked by the movements of the audience.
There were even a few singers who had the thought, "It would be great if it was me that I challenged."
But this idea only lasted for a moment before it was extinguished by them.
The pot is a bit big and it’s not easy for them to carry it.
……
Amid countless nervous and expectant gazes, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi came to the center of the stage together.
Tonight, Bai Xingjian wore a black windbreaker, which highlighted his tall figure.
His eyebrows were slightly trimmed, now looking like sword-like eyebrows. Against the backdrop of a pair of black eyes with a bright color, his handsomeness became more fierce.
In front of the screen, many female viewers' eyes lit up.
Bai Xingjian seems to be more handsome tonight than ever before!
Feng Shiqi wore a halterneck sleeveless red dress with a black belt, revealing her long legs. Her soft long hair fell over her shoulders, and she looked elegant yet a bit cool, making people dare not look directly at her.
"What a pair of handsome and pretty little guys!" Su Caitao exclaimed, raising her hands and clenching her fists in front of her to cheer for them:
"Come on! Phoenix is flying!"
Netizens in her live broadcast room also left comments and cheered for Fenghuang Yufei from afar.
……
On the gorgeous stage.
Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other and both nodded solemnly.
They naturally knew what Ju Jinyi's challenge meant, and in order to sing the song "A Bridge of Fate" well, they had made full preparations.
【A bridge of fate】
【Singer: Phoenix in Flight】
【Lyrics: Bai Xingjian】
【Composition: Bai Xingjian】
【Arranger: Bai Xingjian】
When the song information was displayed on the screen, the scene fell silent and three clear heartbeats were heard.
Then, the orchestra at the edge of the stage began to play a melody.
A clear and bright sound of a zither sounded, and at a moment when countless audiences were not expecting it, Bai Xingjian held up the microphone and began to sing.
"The bright moon in Qin Dynasty and the pass in Han Dynasty"
“The Long March has not yet returned”
"As long as the flying general of Dragon City is
"We will not allow the Hu horse to cross the Yinshan Mountains"
These four lines of lyrics are from a group of frontier poems, "Two Frontier Poems", by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling.
Just hearing these few lines of poetry, many audience members at the scene and in front of the screen couldn't help but start to get goose bumps.
"Fuck! I've learned this poem before!"
"Who hasn't learned it? I can still recite it now!"
"So does everyone know what this song means?"
"Of course I know! [If the famous general Li Guang who once resisted foreign enemies was still alive, he would never let the Xiongnu's iron hooves step over the Yinshan Mountains!]"
“Fuck! This poem is so appropriate for the current situation of “Song 2024”!”
“Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Brother Xingjian, my God!”
"This creative ability...was it inspired by the show Songgu?"
"What can I say? Bai Xingjian is awesome!"
I don’t know who started it, but at this moment all the comments were saying “Bai Xingjian is awesome!”.
in front of the screen.
Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi looked at each other and both felt surprise in each other's eyes.
They were not only surprised by the poem, but also by Bai Xingjian's singing skills.
There are no other instruments in the accompaniment of these lines of poetry except the occasional guitar, which makes Bai Xingjian's voice exceptionally clear.
However, this clear voice did not reveal any shortcomings, but instead showed everyone Bai Xingjian's superb skills in changing tones.
"Oh my god! Why do I feel like Xiaobai's singing skills have improved a lot?"
Su Caitao stared in surprise, and soon, Feng Shiqi's voice made her eyes open even wider.
"A Mass Graveyard with Smoke Smoking a Thousand Miles Away"
"No one visits lonely souls in troubled times"
Feng Shiqi's voice, like a shining sword, pierces deeply into the hearts of every listener.
"The sky is speechless and the ink is cold"
"The pen and the sword will pay for the autumn with blood"
Especially when singing the word "pen knife", Feng Shiqi's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and majestic momentum gushed out with the high notes. The shiny long sword turned into a spear, passing through the hearts of countless listeners.
"Wang Defa!"
"Feng Shiqi's angry voice... Awesome!"
"So Sister Shiqi used the Qinqiang singing style just now? It sounds so familiar."
"That's right! It's Qinqiang! Sister Shiqi's voice is so oriental! So majestic!"
"Goosebumps!"
