Chapter 196: A Stunning Encounter
Tonight, the first singer to perform is Shantimo.
Perhaps because there are more and more talented singers on the show and everyone's performances are getting better and better, Shantimo has been feeling a bit lost in the crowd recently.
So tonight, she sang another European and American hit song that is familiar to the public, and it was still within her comfort zone, so the stage effect was naturally quite good.
In the backcourt, in the preparation room where Asuka and Yu are.
Qiao Xi and Su Ning sat safely on the sofa, watching the live broadcast from the studio through the screen.
Tonight, both of them were dressed very youthfully.
Qiao Xi was wearing a white preppy-style dress, and even though she was already 35 years old, she didn't look out of place at all.
When Shantimo's stage performance reached its final stage, Qiao Xi shook her legs nervously.
The performance order they drew tonight was 2, and it would be her and Suning's turn soon.
Noticing her strangeness, Suning smiled and said, "Are you a little nervous?"
“A little bit.”
Qiao Xi nodded and unconsciously crossed her legs, with her plump, white right leg resting on top of her left leg.
Her dress was a short one, and with this movement, the white hem naturally pulled up a bit, revealing a section of her snow-white thigh.
Su Ning raised his hands and clapped them, comforting them: "Let's just sing normally. After practicing so hard for so many days, we will definitely be able to give the audience a great stage."
During this week, Suning didn't know how he got through it.
It was just a variety show, but practicing singing was more tiring than a concert.
"Mmmmmmm!"
Qiao Xi hummed several times, looked at the broadcast screen, and said in a firm tone:
"We must take first place tonight!"
By now, Shantimo had finished her performance and started walking towards the singer’s house.
Su Ning also stood up, with a confident smile on his face, and extended his hand to Qiao Xi:
"Don't worry, the first place tonight will definitely be our Birds and Fish!"
Qiao Xi smiled brightly, took Su Ning's hand and stood up.
The camera at this time also switched to this side.
What Suning said and the scene at the moment appeared in the sight of countless viewers without reservation.
There was an uproar at the scene, and the audience in the live broadcast room was even more excited.
[They are indeed a model couple in the entertainment industry! This little detail from Suning is so thoughtful!]
[Sure enough, there are traces of a man's love and dislike!]
[Damn it! I’m just here to watch a live broadcast, please don’t use the comments to teach me values!]
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter!]
[Suning is so domineering! We took the damn first place tonight!]
[I believe you can do it! By the way, let Fenghuang Yufei see what a true national group is! ]
[Fenghuang Yufei: Ah, yes, yes! Why didn’t the National Group take first place last week?]
[You guys were just lucky last week]
[Ah, yes, yes, yes]
Just like before, whenever there are images of flying birds and fish, someone will definitely cue the Phoenix Flying.
Then, fans of both sides inevitably started a new round of debate, which seemed to have no end.
The program crew is naturally aware of this situation, but they did not deliberately bring up this topic openly.
Just like now, when the birds and fish appear on stage, although the camera will be cut to other singers, it will not be cut to Fenghuang Yufei.
In the eyes of many fans of both sides, the program crew seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.
This situation made the fans feel warm in their hearts, and they all sighed in their hearts: "This program team is pretty good!"
If Li Xiao knew what these innocent fans were thinking, he would definitely be grinning from ear to ear:
"Look, they still praise me even though it's like this~"
……
Last week, Birds and Fish failed to get first place on the debut stage of "The Voice of China 2024", so both they and their fans put in their best efforts tonight.
When Qiao Xi and Su Ning appeared on the stage, there was deafening cheers and applause.
The song they sang tonight is called "The Most Beautiful Dream", a song about the theme of youth.
To match this theme, Qiao Xi and Su Ning's outfits also look youthful and beautiful.
When the song sounded, many audiences also said "My youth is back".
Linjiang Normal University, in a girls' dormitory.
It was particularly noisy at this time.
There were not just Wang Peini, Liu Yue, Luo Xi and Lai Jie in the dormitory, but a total of twelve people.
The students from the dormitory opposite and next door gathered together to watch today's live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024".
As for why there are so many people, the reason is simple: school has started.
"Wow, that's a familiar singing voice!"
"It's true! My childhood memories are triggered again...My sister loved this song so much that my ears are callused from listening to it!"
"Yes, my brother also liked this song at that time. He sang this song at his high school graduation party, and then he won my sister-in-law over."
"Oh my god, your brother is so awesome?"
"Of course not. It turns out that the kids they have now really like to listen to Fenghuang Yufei's songs, especially the song "The Most Dazzling National Style". It's simply a magic weapon to stop them from crying!"
“Hahahaha, your brother’s family is a bit complicated!”
……
The time for a song passed quickly.
On the stage, Qiao Xi and Su Ning bowed to the audience with slight breaths.
Both of them had smiles on their faces at this moment.
perfect!
Tonight they performed the song "The Most Beautiful Dream" in almost perfect condition!
The audience also gave them the biggest applause and cheers.
Fans of Birds and Fish are even more confident.
As long as there isn’t anything too outrageous on stage tonight, the first place is almost certain!
The singers in each preparation room couldn't help but applaud and express their admiration for the birds and fish.
"Awesome! I knew Qiao Xi's high notes were her specialty. I didn't sing before because I thought it was unnecessary. Now that I've opened my mouth, isn't it a sure thing that I'll be first tonight?"
Ding Xin stood up and applauded them both.
On the other side, Liao Bei couldn't help but sigh: "They are worthy of being the national group! Fenghuang Yufei still needs to learn from them."
The live camera did not cut to this side at this time, so the audience did not hear what Liao Bei said.
The preparation room where Fenghuang Yufei is.
Feng Shiqi clapped his hands.
Birds and Fish really put on a great performance tonight, and she deserved it.
Bai Xingjian also nodded and clapped, saying, "Their performance tonight should win first place, right? After watching this stage, I feel that Shantimo's stage is a bit inferior, and the songs selected by the remaining singers are not very hard."
"Probably, but I'm not sure."
Feng Shiqi blinked her beautiful eyes but didn't say anything very affirmative.
Because she was afraid that she had done something bad again. After all, that was what happened last week.
……
“Thank you to the birds and fish for singing so passionately!”
The host He Ling held up the microphone with a smile on her face and said, "Next, please welcome the third group of singers to the stage. Please give them a round of applause!"
The singer who drew the third performance order was Ding Xin. Given her current condition, she can only be said to be the last one among all the current singers.
Therefore, no one had much hope for her.
And Ding Xin did not disappoint everyone's expectations of her. The first line of lyrics at the beginning was a little out of tune.
Although it was rounded off later, everyone could still hear it clearly.
[What can I say? No fuck]
[I’m really drunk…Ding Xin’s state is really like riding a roller coaster? Sometimes high, sometimes low]
[Ding Xin: Tonight’s last place, take it!]
[Take it, take it. Now that Huang Fei is gone, no one will compete with you for the first place.]
……
After you sing, I will appear.
Vanxia, who came on stage after Ding Xin, made many audiences feel as if they were listening to heavenly music and their ears were temporarily clear.
Vanxia's condition is still impeccable. Tonight she sang an original song of her own, full of rhythm and excellent singing ability, which made many viewers sigh:
"Vanxia is still the same Vanxia!"
In front of the computer screen.
Su Caitao raised her eyebrows and said, "Shantimo and Vanxia's stage performances tonight were both very impressive! From what I can see now, it seems that both of them have a chance of making it into the top three tonight."
Hearing this, the audience in her live broadcast room debated:
[Really? Brother Huoxing and Fenghuang Yufei haven't even performed on stage yet, Sister Taotao, are you so confident?]
[That’s right! From the current perspective, the first place tonight is most likely to be Bird and Fish. The second and third places are still there. Shantimo and Vanxia are likely to be eliminated by the latecomers.]
[Didn’t Sister Taotao say “at the moment”? Don’t be so impatient!]
[Wow! Fenghuang Yufei is here! They are the fifth in the performance order!]
"Oh, finally we get to see the two of them!"
Looking at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi appearing on the live broadcast screen, Su Caitao sighed, and then her eyes lit up and she said:
"No wonder the production crew didn't give them any shots before. Did they plan to give the audience a surprise? The outfits they're wearing tonight look a bit like a costume drama!"
Just as Su Caitao said, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's outfits tonight are quite ancient in style, but still a little far from being a costume drama.
If I really have to say it, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it neo-Chinese style.
Bai Xingjian wore a black new Chinese style Zhongshan suit with trousers of the same color.
Her hair is combed meticulously and slightly back, revealing a full forehead. She looks energetic and exudes a unique charm. She looks both traditional and modern.
Feng Shiqi was dressed in a white cheongsam.
The cheongsam was tailored to perfectly outline her graceful figure. The white silk fabric seemed to be blended with moonlight, emitting a soft and pure luster.
The cheongsam adopts an off-shoulder design, which cleverly shows Feng Shiqi's elegant collarbone and round shoulders. The white shawl makes them appear looming, adding a bit of charm and sexiness.
The two of them walked to the center of the stage together and stood safely amid the enthusiastic cheers and applause of the audience.
At this moment, Feng Shiqi's posture was upright and elegant, like a blooming lotus, pure and noble.
[Oh my god! This sister is so beautiful!]
[It was indeed a ‘stunning encounter’! ]
[I understand! Bai Xingjian’s poem “A Stunning Look” is about Feng Shiqi! ]
[Hahahaha! I can tell whether "A Glimpse of Love" is good or not just by looking at it (doge)
[As graceful as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon. So beautiful~]
[It's so funny, why are there people reciting poetry?]
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room filled the screen like heavy snow, and many viewers were moved to tears by Feng Shiqi's beauty.
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Qiao Xi in the Singer's House moved her legs slightly uneasily.
I have to admit that Feng Shiqi is exceptionally beautiful tonight, even she is inferior to her.
However, what Qiao Xi cared about was not this, but the next performance of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.
Suning on the side was also a little nervous.
"A Glimpse of Beauty" is a new song. Neither of them had heard it before, nor had they seen Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's rehearsal performance, so it was inevitable that they were a little nervous.
Especially Qiao Xi.
As for Suning, although Li Xiao has already assured him that their team of birds and fish will get first place tonight, it cannot be ruled out that Li Xiao will mess things up.
After all, this person is not without precedent.
Just like that, under the slightly worried gazes of Su Ning and Qiao Xi, the accompaniment of "A Glimpse of Beauty" sounded.
The melodious sound of the guqin seemed to come from a mountain stream, bringing with it the freshness and tranquility of the early morning, permeating countless listeners.
Then, soft piano sounds rang out, interweaving with the piano sounds, like the gurgling of water, carrying a lingering emotion.
"This prelude... feels so magical!"
"It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
"She is really beautiful and her songs are beautiful!"
As the prelude sounded, many audience members couldn't help but sigh quietly.
On the stage lit by dim lights, Bai Xingjian held up the microphone and sang at the right time:
"Turning your hand makes clouds, turning your hand again makes rain"
"Retiring from the Golden Basin to Stop the Storm"
“I don’t love the world but I can’t let go of the memories”
"You are in every paragraph"
Bai Xingjian's voice is clear and magnetic, and its soft feeling is like a piece of warm jade, warm and lustrous.
His lyrics, which are full of stories and vicissitudes, make the audience unconsciously start to associate and even immerse themselves in the story of the song.
When Bai Xingjian's voice fell, a softer and more lingering "Haa~~~" sound came from the accompaniment.
Many audiences were stunned, and at this moment, Feng Shiqi's voice rang out.
It makes everyone feel more relaxed.
"Our first encounter in youth is always in my heart"
"Your love has not diminished over the years"
"How can the picturesque landscape be compared to this?"
"The scenery you gave me"
Feng Shiqi's voice is like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, lingering and long, revealing deep affection and romance, as if telling a touching and sad story, making the audience intoxicated.
"Oh my god! Why are the lyrics so sweet?"
In front of the computer screen, Wang Peini supported her face with her hands and smiled like an aunt.
Liu Yue at the side also laughed happily: "I never thought that this song "A Glimpse of Beauty" is actually a love song!"
"Their stage performance is simply picturesque!" praised Rossi.
"Why do I feel like they're a little weird?"
Lai Jie held her chin with one hand, while Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi on the screen smiled at each other.
This made Lai Jie feel like she was watching a dating show rather than listening to a song.
