Chapter 195 Issue

After a friendly discussion, Bai Xingjian and Li Xiao finally raised Fenghuang Yufei's appearance fee in "The Voice of China 2024" to per episode, more than before.

The new contract will take effect from next week’s live broadcast.

As for why Bai Xingjian wanted Li Xiao to add more money to their Fenghuang Yufei, the reason was very simple.

It was that morning when he went to the piano store to play the piano that he took a fancy to a Steinway grand piano.

The texture is very good, the feel is very good, and the sound quality is also particularly good.

Bai Xingjian asked the sales guy about the price and got a price of [355] million.

Bai Xingjian was stunned for a moment, and the salesman said considerately: "Sir, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to take this piano home in the future. Don't worry about the quagmire under your feet. There are infinite possibilities in the future!"

The moment he heard what the sales guy said, Bai Xingjian made up his mind.

That is to work hard to make money and take this grand piano home!

……

After Bai Xingjian hung up the phone, he turned around and printed out the simple musical scores of "A Stunning Look", "The East Wind Breaks" and "Chi Ling".

At this moment, there was new movement on the system panel.

[New mission released]

【One】

[Please invite the host and Feng Shiqi to sing "A Stunning Face" to let 10000 listeners feel the "sickness" in the song]

[Task completion reward: song "Freezer"*1, attribute points*5]

Ah? ? ?
When Bai Xingjian saw this task, he was a little confused.

Do you feel the disgust in the song "A Glimpse of Beauty"?

Is there anything disgusting about this song?

When it comes to memories of this song, Bai Xingjian's mind is filled with the scene in the MV where Xu Song and Huang Ling were arranging flowers together.

"..."

Bai Xingjian patted his head, recalled the song again, and found that this song "A Glimpse of Beauty" was indeed quite disgusting.

Such lyrics as "Released from prison at a young age, always in my heart", "Your love has not diminished over the years", "What else do I want in this life but you".

The lyrics are so well written that it’s hard to believe that you two haven’t dated before!

Bai Xingjian smacked his lips twice, and then he saw the reward for this task.

"No...singing 'A Glimpse of Beauty' as a reward for singing 'Freezer'?"

Bai Xingjian couldn't help but complain: "The aesthetics of this panel is quite unique."

The task information on the panel was not finished yet, so Bai Xingjian continued to read on.

【two】

[Please invite the host or Feng Shiqi to sing "Dong Feng Po" to let 10000 listeners feel the "sorrow of separation" in the song]

[Task completion reward: song "Red Dust Inn"*1, attribute points*5]

"This task is quite reasonable." Bai Xingjian nodded with satisfaction.

He naturally noticed the word "or" in the task. It seemed that the song panel would not force a chorus if it was not a duet.

"But this... actually has a mission?"

Bai Xingjian opened his eyes, the message was not over yet!
【three】

[Please invite the host or Feng Shiqi to sing "Chi Ling" so that 10000 listeners can feel the "sadness" in the song]

[Task completion reward: song "Silk-pulling Opera"*1, attribute points*5]

"Oh my God……"

Looking at these songs, Bai Xingjian feels that he and his cheap sister can now release an album with an ancient style theme.

"So many missions suddenly appeared. Did the panel sense my ambition?"

Bai Xingjian muttered something with a smile, picked up the printed simple scores of three songs, walked out of the room and came to the living room.

Then he discovered that Feng Shiqi, who had been "hanging upside down" on the sofa before, was now sitting upright on the sofa, looking so serious that it was a little bit abnormal.

Looking at Bai Xingjian coming out, Feng Shiqi felt like he had escaped a disaster.

Because Bai Xingjian walked out of the room just as she came back from eavesdropping.

And because the hotel room was well soundproofed, Feng Shiqi, who had tried to eavesdrop earlier, heard nothing.

Perhaps to cover up his embarrassment, Feng Shiqi was the first to ask: "What are you holding in your hand is another simple sheet music? It seems there are several more songs?"

"Well, there are three songs. Let's pick one and sing it during the next live broadcast."

Bai Xingjian handed over the musical score and told him about Li Xiao's phone call just now.

"I see. I thought you were having a secret conversation with someone just now."

Feng Shiqi glanced at Bai Xingjian with a smile, then relaxed and sat cross-legged on the sofa to carefully read the musical notation.

During this process, Bai Xingjian took out his mobile phone and checked Weibo for a while.

Then I found that there were no negative entries related to him on the hot search list at this time. Yehua Entertainment’s public relations team was still quite powerful.

……

Ten minutes later, Feng Shiqi finished looking at the simple scores of the three songs.

She took out "A Glimpse of Beauty", lifted a strand of black hair by her ear and said, "Let's sing a song next week. "East Wind Breaks" is not easy to separate the lyrics."

At this point, Feng Shiqi smiled and glanced at Bai Xingjian: "And I feel that "Dong Feng Po" is more suitable for you to sing alone. Your male voice will be more lethal in this song."

Feng Shiqi was in a very happy mood at the moment.

The lyrics written by Ajian are just great!

The imaginary heroine in the lyrics is her, right?
Yes, it is definitely her!

"can."

Bai Xingjian smiled and nodded, then asked, "What about 'Chi Ling'? Why didn't you choose this song?"

"Because this song is a bit foul, I feel like the first place in next week's live broadcast will be ours again."

Feng Shiqi blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Are you so confident?" Bai Xingjian gave her a thumbs up.

Feng Shiqi snorted: "That is~"

She is confident, but to be honest, she doesn’t really want to take first place on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024".

Because they are so popular like phoenixes flying in the sky!

Even though I unexpectedly took first place this week, I was scolded by fans of Bird and Fish.

So let's just give way for now, to ease the emotions of the fans next door, and also to let Qiao Xi and Suning save face.

The song "A Glimpse of Beauty" is quite good. It is an ancient style song that is romantic yet a bit sad about the unexpected encounter between two people. It has a very novel feeling.

Bai Xingjian had a similar idea to Feng Shiqi, so the two of them unanimously decided to sing "A Glimpse of Beauty" during the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" next week.

However, after deciding on the song, they did not start practicing it immediately.

Just kidding, it’s the weekend! Plenty of time!
Therefore, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi stayed on the sofa and watched a zombie movie. It was a domestic one, and the scale was quite large.

……

the other side.

Li Xiao was talking on the phone with Suning.

Li Xiao: "It has been handled. Bai Xingjian promised Fenghuang Yufei that the next few episodes will be based on the ancient style."

Su Ning: "Huh? He agreed so quickly? Didn't he make an excessive request?"

Li Xiao: "No, I just asked them to increase the announcement fee of Fenghuang Yufei by 100,000 yuan."

Suning: "...That's it? You really don't have any other requests?"

Li Xiao: "Really not! Next week, you and Qiao Xi can come up with a stronger song, and I absolutely guarantee that you will take first place!"

Suning: "Thank you so much, Director Xiao!"

Li Xiao: “You’re welcome.”

Such a harmonious conversation makes the relationship between the two seem very good.

After hanging up the phone, Su Ning showed a satisfied smile on his face, hugged Qiao Xi beside him and smacked:
"I didn't expect Bai Xingjian to actually agree to go for the ancient style route! Now Fenghuang Yufei is no longer a threat to us!"

Qiao Xi wiped his face in disdain, frowned and said, "Is this really okay? Isn't it too cruel to these two young people?"

Originally, on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024", everyone is free to choose what songs to sing. Although they still need to discuss with the music director of the program team, sometimes this discussion is just a formality. Many times it depends on the singer's own choice.

But now, for their own development, they have tied Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi to the theme of "ancient style".

This made Qiao Xi feel guilty.

Su Ning knew her personality, so he said, "Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are young people. Their future path has not yet been determined. Now is the time for them to make a breakthrough. Maybe they can make a name for themselves in the field of ancient style. Haven't they sung a few ancient style songs before? It shouldn't be a problem for them."

Having said that, Suning didn't think so in his heart.

If Fenghuang Yufei sings ancient style songs, then they, the birds and the fish, will really be "the sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly".

Well, it’s not that exaggerated.

What Suning really cares about is that as long as Fenghuang Yufei and their Fei Niao Yu Yu do not have the same theme in terms of songs, then no matter how well or badly both of them sing on the stage, it will not be so embarrassing even if they are compared together.

During this period, Suning has almost become an embarrassing real estate tycoon.

Familiar people, unfamiliar people, people with whom he had conflicts, anti-fans, etc., everyone would send him a message or leave a message when they passed by.

——Oh, isn’t this the national group? How come they lost to Phoenix Yufei, a group that debuted less than half a year ago, on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024"? Is this okay?
Similar remarks emerged one after another, and even former classmates had sarcastic discussions in the class group.

Suning is in such a bad situation.

Then, someone came up with this idea for him.

So far, we have already achieved half of the success.

"What you said seems to make sense."

After hearing what Su Ning said, Qiao Xi's guilt instantly lessened a lot, and he nodded in approval.

Suning sighed, "Let's sing a harder song next week and try to win first place."

He did not tell Qiao Xi about some of the things between him and Li Xiao, so Qiao Xi did not know that they, Birds and Fish, would surely take first place on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024" next week.

Qiao Xi thought about it and said a song title: "Then let's sing "The Most Beautiful Dream"!"

"can."

Suning nodded. This song was once one of their hit songs and can be regarded as a classic song that is popular all over the country.

"Come on, let's go practice singing now and try to get back into the best condition to sing this song!"

After seeing that Su Ning agreed to sing the song, Qiao Xi pulled Su Ning up from the sofa.

Like Bai Feng and the others, they also sat on the sofa and watched TV.

"It shouldn't be that necessary, Sister Xi! It's only been a short while since we started today? You're already practicing singing?" Su Ning looked surprised and puzzled.

"Why do you care so much? Just practice singing when I ask you to. You don't want to be outdone by Fenghuang Yufei, do you?"

Qiao Xi did not let go, but instead held Su Ning's hand with a little more strength.

"Alright, alright."

Su Ning did not resist too much and followed Qiao Xi straight into the karaoke room.

Noticing Qiao Xi's brisk steps and her energetic and motivated back, Su Ning felt as if he had gone back to the past, back to the time when he and Qiao Xi were practicing singing desperately.

Unfortunately, today is different from the past.

He is no longer as pure as he used to be.

……

Time passed like this day by day.

Soon it was Friday, September 9, the day when the tenth episode of "The Voice 6" was broadcast.

Because there were no new singers coming this week, the materials released by the official program did not cause much waves.

However, the song list released by the program team yesterday still aroused heated discussions among many netizens.

7:30 p.m.

All singers in the online singer camp gathered in the singer’s house and began to draw the order of tonight’s performance.

During this process, Bai Xingjian noticed the slightly hostile look of South Korean singer Park Ji-jae.

"Could it be because of that trending search?" Bai Xingjian thought to himself, "That shouldn't be something they bought, but this information doesn't seem to be of any use."

Bai Xingjian smiled, put his thoughts aside, and returned his attention to Feng Shiqi who was participating in the draw.

Then he saw her holding a number plate with the number 5 in her hand and waving it at him.

"Great!" Bai Xingjian shouted while clapping.

'5' is actually a very good order.

Seeing his reaction, Feng Shiqi thought she had drawn a very good order. She turned the number plate over and saw that it was a 5...

She smacked her lips and glanced at Bai Xingjian.

The atmosphere group did a pretty good job.

The interactive host Xiao Shen announced: "Congratulations to Fenghuang Yufei, your performance order tonight is fifth!"

The drawing of lots for the performance order was proceeding in an orderly manner.

When it was eight o'clock in the evening, all the singers returned to their respective preparation rooms.

In the studio, with a gesture from Li Xiao, the tenth live broadcast of "The Voice 2024" officially began!
As the most popular variety show in China at present, as soon as the live broadcast room was opened, countless eagerly waiting viewers flocked in, and the amount of barrage increased instantly.

[I'm coming! ]
[Come on, Birds and Fish! Win first place tonight!]
[Park Ji-jae Oppa, go, go!]
[It’s really hard to listen to a new song from Phoenix Yufei every week! ]
[That’s right, Phoenix! Do you know how I spent this week?]
On the stage, gorgeous and brilliant lights came on.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of 1001 audience members, hosts He Ling and Hai Quan, both dressed in neat suits, came to the front of the stage.

"Good evening, viewers! Welcome to watch..."

After a familiar opening speech, He Ling got straight to the point: "Tonight, we will be holding the [Zhangbang Contest]. Although there will be no elimination spots, it is still important for each singer to get a ranking."

"Okay! Please welcome the first group of singers to perform on stage tonight..."
