Chapter 174 The Influence of a Song
After the live broadcast of the seventh episode of "The Voice of China 2024" ended, related topics, as always, became a hot search on Weibo.

[Fenghuang Yufei defeated Mars Brother and won the weekly championship again! (Explosive)]

The term that ranks first on Weibo's hot search list is naturally related to Phoenix Flying.

In the official Weibo post of "The Voice of China 2024" congratulating Fenghuang Yufei for winning first place, the number of comments and likes reached an extremely exaggerated level.

Even though it was late at night, countless netizens joined the discussion.

"Dreams come true! Fenghuang Yufei actually defeated Brother Mars!"

"Wow! I thought Brother Mars would slaughter the Chinese music scene, but I didn't expect Fenghuang Yufei to defend the honor of the Chinese music scene!"

"Hero! Fenghuang Yufei is our hero!"

"Can you just put me on the Spring Festival Gala reserve?"

"Phoenix Yufei defeated Mars Brother? Am I crazy or is "The Voice of China 2024" crazy? Isn't this really a shady deal?"

"Hahahaha, this really made me laugh to death! Mars, who has won 15 Grammy Awards, actually lost to the fledgling Fenghuang Yufei? Mango TV, I advise you not to create stars too exaggeratedly."

"That's right! Is this really reasonable?"

"Even Martian Brother's "Uptown Funk" lost? What kind of song did Fenghuang Yufei sing?"

"This is simply ridiculous!"

"...I guess the person who said that didn't watch the live broadcast tonight?"

In the comment section, some people were excited, some were happy, and some were skeptical.

Mainly in the eyes of some people, it was too unbelievable that Fenghuang Yufei defeated Mars Brother.

Is it true that there are still singers in the Chinese music scene who can rival the Grammy level?
Impossible, right?
However, when some people who were skeptical listened to "As Wish" sung by Fenghuang Yufei, they all calmed down.

The second most searched term on Weibo is:

[Phoenix Yufei's new song "As Wish" made everyone cry (explosive)]

The program officially uploaded the complete stage video of Fenghuang Yufei singing this song, as well as footage of some audience members and singers being moved to tears by the song.

Netizens who did not watch the live broadcast felt extremely complicated after watching this video.

"Now I understand why Phoenix Flying won over Mars' Uptown Funk."

"I can only say that Mars deserved his defeat."

"Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are so awesome!"

"Is it okay for Fenghuang Yufei's song "As Wish" to be performed on this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"No problem! That's absolutely no problem!"

"This song reminds me of the man who lived in history, in textbooks, and whom I have never met. He had no savings, no offspring, and studied purely for the rise of China."

"Damn it! I cried when I heard this late at night. In the dark dormitory, my roommate with a green face looked at me and asked me if I had broken up with him too..."

"Are Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's singing skills so amazing? Their pronunciation and emotions are so perfect!"

"If they don't take first place tonight, who will? Even Mars will have to step back a bit."

At this late night, anyone who hears the song "As Wish" has a complex emotion in his heart, perhaps it is remembrance, admiration, sigh, sadness, and many other emotions.

[The number of online viewers of "The Voice of China 2024" has exceeded 2500 million! The ratings have been ranked first for seven consecutive weeks! ]

This is the third most searched term on Weibo.

This week, the official program team disclosed some detailed data of "The Voice 2024".

The total amount of communication across the entire network was 1155.8 billion times.

There are a total of 9816 hot searches on the entire network.

There were 192 hot searches on both Weibo lists in a single issue.

15 burst, 37 hot.

31 videos with million likes.

876 videos with likes.

The video received 5285 likes.

215 topics have been circulated over million times.

Such data has also aroused discussion among many netizens.

"Fuck! 'The Voice of China 2024' has probably become the most searched variety show on the Internet. 'Running Man' is totally unworthy of mention."

"Indeed! The ratings are way ahead of the rest! Mango TV has really found the secret to traffic this time!"

"Keep doing this, invite more Grammy singers, and don't do anything fancy. Sooner or later, The Voice 2024 will become the hottest, top-notch, and most phenomenal variety show of the year, bar none."

“I can only say that Hong Yang’s “New Era of the Heavenly Group” has made a good start, and Li Xiao is following suit.”

……

Looking through these comments, Li Xiao, who was sitting in front of the computer screen, couldn't stop smiling.

"You know what, I also feel like I found the traffic password."

Li Xiao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip comfortably.

When a person is happy, he feels refreshed. He feels that the tea tonight seems to be more fragrant and sweeter. "

"According to the current situation, the program really just needs to develop steadily, and there is no need to deliberately create program effects."

"Otherwise, if you're not careful, it might backfire."

"Tsk, what the netizens said this time makes a lot of sense."

Looking at one of the comments in the comment section, Li Xiao was thoughtful, then picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to someone:

[There is no need to deliberately help GoldenCold in the live broadcast next week. Whether they can overcome the huge obstacle of Phoenix Flying depends on their true level. ]

Soon there was a reply: [Received! ]

After nodding with a smile, Li Xiao opened the chat box of a contact whose nickname began with [Aoki Entertainment].

He typed some words on the screen of his mobile phone, but quickly deleted them all, and then directly quit WeChat.

There's no need to tell that person about this now.

……

When some people are happy, others are sad.

Xu Jun, the director of the program "Song Gu", felt very disappointed when he saw the series of hot searches for "The Voice of China 2024" dominating the list on Weibo tonight.

[Fenghuang Yufei defeated Mars Brother and won the weekly championship again! (Explosive)]

Just this one hot search alone will probably stay at the top of the list for a long time, right?
Xu Jun is still thinking that the song "Crossing the Mountain" sung by Fenghuang Yufei on his show tomorrow night will top the hot search list.

But now it seems that there is no need to even think about it.

It's probably pretty good enough that their "Songgu" can be on the hot search list.

“Why is my life so miserable?”

Xu Jun picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Is this tea expired? Why does it become more bitter the more I drink it?"

……

That night, Bai Xingjian slept well.

But he didn't expect that he woke up from his dream before seven o'clock the next day.

Bai Xingjian sat up, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the dim room.

He is feeling a bit complicated right now.

Perhaps because the shock he received in the car last night was too great, Bai Xingjian dreamed of Feng Shiqi.

In the dream, the two of them did unspeakable things.

The dream was so real that Bai Xingjian was still a little dazed.

"What do you think about during the day? What do you dream about at night?"

"Or is it because the window period is too long, people will involuntarily become hungry?"

Bai Xingjian muttered to himself, took a deep breath, got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, he came out after taking a shower.

I pulled open the curtains and it was already bright outside.

The rising sun shines on the earth, and today is another sunny day.

He changed into sportswear and went straight to the hotel gym.

Singing is a physical job and it is important to maintain physical health and strength.

It was less than eight o'clock and he was the only one in the gym.

Therefore, in addition to exercising his body, Bai Xingjian can also practice his voice.

This state continued until nine o'clock, when other people came to the gym. Bai Xingjian stopped training and practicing his voice, and got up and walked back.

“What a self-disciplined person!”

"Each each other."

It was that familiar greeting again.

The other person is a middle-aged man who comes to the gym to exercise at nine o'clock every day.

Whenever Bai Xingjian came to the gym, the two would pass each other at this time.

Even though this has happened many times, the two still don't know each other's names.

They are like their own refreshed NPCs. After saying hello, they return to their normal lives without interfering with each other.

After returning to the hotel room.

Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie were already sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast.

Bai Xingjian walked over directly, but was kicked in the calf by Feng Shiqi who was wearing sandals:
"Go wash your hands first!"

"Oh... okay." Bai Xingjian was stunned for a moment, then walked towards the bathroom with a very subtle mood.

He turned around and his eyes widened unconsciously.

The reason was simple. Whenever he saw Feng Shiqi, the dream he had this morning would involuntarily come to his mind...

Oh my god, what is going on?!
Compared with Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi behaved very naturally.

But she was still a little confused as she watched Bai Xingjian walk towards the bathroom: "Isn't the kitchen right next to us? Why do you have to walk so far to wash?"

Mei Jie smiled and continued, "Maybe Brother Xing Jian wants to go to the bathroom."

Feng Shiqi nodded: "It should be."

……

After a night of fermentation, the fact that Fenghuang Yufei defeated Mars Brother almost caused heated discussions across the entire Internet.

The song "As Wish" has also entered the sight of countless people.

On the Xinghuo short video platform, many musicians, music lovers, KTV players, etc. have joined the ranks of covering this song.

As a result, the song "As Wish" was born with countless versions and countless interpretations from cover singers.

"My dear family, I really didn't mean to irritate your ears! This song "As Wish" by Fenghuang Yufei sounds simple, but it's completely different when you sing it!"

"Family members, please give me a like! Don't unfollow me!"

"I can't sing it. The mixed voices of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are too difficult to sing."

"Everyone, just listen to it."

In addition to the cover, various analyses of the song "As Wish" have also popped up like mushrooms after a rain.

However, what convinced the public the most was the reaction video of music critic Su Caitao.

In the video, she explains:

“The song ‘As Wish’ is a three-part expression.”

"The first stanza expresses gratitude, and the singing of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi is as tender as water."

"The second part expresses inheritance. I grew up while being led by someone else's hand. The singing is firm and affectionate."

"The third paragraph expresses the idea of ​​pioneering. I have grown up standing on the shoulders of my parents, striving to make progress, making the most of the past and moving forward bravely into the future. The singing is heroic, passionate and magnificent."

"One song has three kinds of emotions, which progress layer by layer. Each verse is full of strong emotions. Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have extremely delicate singing styles, which can be said to have brought the song to perfection."

"And Feng Shiqi's last extremely gentle a cappella song brought all the emotions together, as clear as water waves, as twinkling as a shooting star, and finally turned into a tear in the corner of the audience's eyes, sliding down quietly..."

At the end of the video, Su Caitao also gave advice on covering "As Wish": "After you fully understand the emotions contained in this song, singing it should have a good effect.

Of course, this is based on a certain level of singing skills. If you can’t sing well, it’s useless to sing this song even if you have rich emotions.”

Su Caitao's professional and straightforward analysis makes netizens love and hate her.

"I've watched so many analysis videos, but yours is still the best!"

“That’s a great interpretation!”

"Sister Taotao, you can delete the last part of the video. I wanted to sing this song "As Wish"..."

"That's right! It makes me lose all confidence."

……

At twelve o'clock noon, Zheng Wei, who was eating at the table, suddenly received a call.

In less than two minutes, her expression changed from indifference, to surprise, and then to ecstasy.

Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie, who were sitting at the dinner table, were watching with great interest.

The three of them looked at each other, as if they were all saying: Is there a pregnancy in Sister Wei's family?
After Zheng Wei hung up the phone, before the three of them could ask, he looked at her excitedly and said:

"CCTV! CCTV actually came directly to our door this time!"

"what?"

"really?"

"Isn't it?"

This time it was Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie's turn to be surprised.

Zheng Wei's eyes were bright and her voice was high-pitched: "CCTV is planning to use your song "As Wish" as the song for this year's National Day special video. In addition, they have also invited you to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. I hope you two can sing "As Wish" at the gala."

This sentence contained too much information, and it took Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi a while to recover.

It’s not like they haven’t been paid attention to by the central media before. When the song "The Most Dazzling National Style" came out, the central media paid attention to Fenghuang Yufei.

Only this time, the care came more intensely.

Requisition Songs!

Attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala!
Any one of these is what countless singers dream of, right?
They, Fenghuang Yufei, actually have both!

After being pleasantly surprised, Bai Xingjian said with a smile: "We can even let them use the song "As Wish" for free."

Feng Shiqi also nodded with a sweet smile.

"Hahaha, sure. I'll report it to them when the time comes." Zheng Wei smiled like an auntie.

Mei Jie asked at this time: "Why did you invite Brother Xingjian and Sister Qi to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala instead of the National Day Gala? Obviously, the songs were used in the National Day special video?"

After hearing this, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi both showed some confusion on their faces.

But they soon realized, maybe it was because they lacked status or strength?
Zheng Wei explained with a smile: "Because there is no National Day Gala this year. The National Day Gala is held every ten years, so it will take a few more years."

"Is that so?"

“It’s really a great experience.”

"Hahaha, it seems we are still pretty good."

Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie could not hide their joy.

……

"Loving you is like a heartbeat that is hard to touch"

“I can draw you, but I can’t draw your bones”

"Remembering your expression is my persistence in waiting for you"

"You are the song I can never finish singing"

In a recording studio far away in Beijing, Lin Qingying sang "Hua Xin" with great emotion.

The staff outside the recording studio, wearing headphones, listened to her singing with a look of amazement in their eyes.

This song "Hua Xin"... is so suitable for Lin Qingying! It's like a song specially tailored for Lin Qingying!
Bai Xingjian is such an awesome guy!
The staff were deeply moved.

When he first heard Lin Qingying singing this song, he was totally shocked.

The "la la la la" without accompaniment at the beginning of "Hua Xin" was so mournful that it made his hair stand on end.

And the "Ahhhhh" of Lin Qingying's singing in the interlude made him seem to have returned to the past, to the period when Lin Qingying's voice was called "the song of the Siren".

If this song "Hua Xin" is released, it will definitely cause a frenzy among Lin Qingying's fans!
"But this song is also quite long, 7 minutes and 12 seconds..."

"Did Bai Xingjian feel that Lin Qingying hadn't released a new song in a while, so he deliberately asked her to sing two songs for each song?"

"Hahaha……"

At this point, the staff themselves laughed.

It didn't take long before the recording was completed.

Lin Qingying asked through the glass window with great anticipation: "Brother Wu, how was this one? I feel it's pretty good."

The staff member called "Brother Wu" gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's more than good! This one is perfect, okay? We just need to make some minor adjustments to the sound at the corners and it can be sent to Lao Lu."

Lao Lu is the producer of the main creative team of the movie "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Painted Skin". We can all be said to be friends in the same circle, so the way we address each other is relatively intimate.

"really?"

Lin Qingying took off her monitoring headphones and said with a smile, "Then let me listen first."

The song "Hua Xin" took a little long, but after listening to it once, Lin Qingying was quite satisfied with her singing.

So, two and a half hours later, the final version of "Hua Xin" was sent to Lao Lu's email.

"It's sent right away? Speed ​​is of the essence!"

Looking at the newly received email, Lao Lu said in surprise: "It should be just a trial version, right? Our movie will be released during the National Day holiday, so there is no need to rush now."

"Wow! So long? A seven-minute song?"

Old Lu rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

It turned out that you were not mistaken. This song "Hua Xin" is a full 7 minutes and 12 seconds long.

"interesting."

Old Lu raised his eyebrows slightly and became curious.

He put on his headphones and clicked play.

Then, his expression became wonderful as time passed.

Seven minutes is neither long nor short.

After listening to it once, Lao Lu restrained his facial expression, lay back in his office chair, closed his eyes and thought.

The film "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Painted Skin" was completed a long time ago, but he still remembers some of the plots vividly.

While listening to "Hua Xin", the impressive plots in the movie involuntarily emerged in his mind.

It fits so well!

This song "Hua Xin" fits their movie so well!

"Why do I feel like Bai Xingjian understands the script better than us in the director team?"

Old Lu opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, laughed at himself, and then laughed involuntarily:
"It's a song written by Bai Xingjian, and it's also the first performance of the only new song by Queen Lin in recent years. It would be really unfair if our movie doesn't become popular!"
