Chapter 235 That man?

"What? Fenghuang Yufei isn't coming to the rehearsal?"

At the Mango Radio Building, at the recording site of "The Voice of China 2024", Li Xiao spoke with great surprise, holding the phone in his hand.

Now that "The Voice of China 2024" has reached a new stage, why did Fenghuang Yufei say that she couldn't come to the rehearsal?
"Okay, I won't do it next time."

Although a little annoyed, Li Xiao still spoke to Zheng Wei on the other end of the phone.

After all, who made the person who didn't come to the rehearsal Fenghuang Yufei?
If it were someone else, he would have to nag a little more.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiao held up a loud speaker and said to everyone at the scene: "Call it a day, call it a day. Fenghuang Yufei will not be coming to the afternoon rehearsal. I'm leaving get off work early today!"

Li Xiao's voice spread throughout the entire scene, followed by some cheers.

"Can we call it a day so early today?"

"Great! I get an extra afternoon off out of nowhere!"

"I didn't expect that I would have time to prepare before going to Gu Zetao's concert."

"So why didn't Fenghuang Yufei even attend the rehearsal? Are they going to be absent this week?"

"Could something really have happened to them? They didn't even come to such an important rehearsal?"

"Interesting! Interesting!"

Almost all people working in the entertainment industry have a gossipy heart.

Everyone was discussing this and that, and Li Xiao did not explain to them why Fenghuang Yufei did not come to the rehearsal.

Because there is really no need for that. How can a boss and his subordinates have to explain things to each other?

So, the news that Fenghuang Yufei did not participate in the rehearsal of "The Voice of China 2024" spread again.

During this rather sensitive period of time, this news also surprised some of Fenghuang Yufei's fans.

However, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were completely unaware of this. They were both immersed in the huge stage of the Beijing Gymnasium.

"Give you a CD from the past"

"Listen to our love at that time"

“Sometimes I forget.”

"I still love you~~~"

When the song ended, Gu Zetao at the edge of the stage clapped his hands.

"It sounds good! It sounds so good!"

He said excitedly, "I think it was a good decision to invite you two this time!"

"I am over-flattered."

Bai Xingjian replied quite modestly, and Feng Shiqi beside him also smiled.

"You two are in such great form! I'm afraid you two will steal the spotlight at the concert later."

Gu Zetao came up to the two of them and spoke with concern.

This was his true words, because Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were both going to sing new songs at his concert.

Bai Xingjian smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, the people who come to your concert are definitely your fans. How could the limelight be stolen by the two of us?"

"Not always."

Gu Zetao shook his head. "Don't I know how many fans you two have? Maybe you have surrounded my fans in all aspects."

"How could it be so exaggerated?" Bai Xingjian picked up the water cup and took a sip to moisten his throat.

He didn't think there would be a large overlap between Gu Zetao's fans and Fenghuang Yufei's fans.

They chatted for a few more sentences and then returned from the stage to the room.

The stadium will soon open, and after making final preparations, they will face thousands of spectators.

……

At 6:30 in the evening, the stadium began checking tickets.

The outside of the venue was already densely packed with pedestrians, with all kinds of noises coming and going. The scene of a deserted street was probably just like this.

"Oh my god, is this the face of our Taotao? It's just a concert, but people actually sent flower baskets."

"The people who sent the flower baskets are not ordinary people. I saw many celebrities' names written on them!"

"You are worthy of being my Tao! So many celebrities came to support my first concert after returning to China!"

In the square outside the stadium, there were rows of flower baskets, which attracted many fans of Gu Zetao to watch, take photos and check in.

"Fenghuang Yufei! Sisters! Look at this! There is a flower basket sent by Fenghuang Yufei!"

A delicate cry was heard, attracting many people around to watch.

"Penny, is this true? Fenghuang Yufei also sent a flower basket to Gu Zetao?"

Noticing Wang Pei Ni's movement, Liu Yue rushed over with her cell phone, and beside her were Lai Jie and Luo Xi.

That’s right, these girls all bought tickets for Gu Zetao’s concert.

To be more precise, it was Lai Jie, a wealthy woman, who paid for the tickets. She invited her roommates to come to Beijing to watch Gu Zetao's concert with her.

"It really was sent by Fenghuang Yufei!"

Liu Yue looked down and found Fenghuang Yufei's name on the ribbon on the flower basket, along with some congratulatory words.

"Wow! Here are the flower baskets sent by Ding Xin, Liao Bei, Fei Niao and Yu!"

As if she had discovered a new world, Wang Penny's voice rang out again.

"Alright, alright."

Lai Jie said at this moment: "Let's finish taking pictures here and go check our tickets. It's getting late."

Although they could use the VIP channel, the huge crowds of people at the scene still put a lot of pressure on Lai Jie.

"Okay!"

"Everything is up to Sister Lai!"

"Sister Lai is my god!"

Wang Penny, Liu Yue and Luo Xi responded one after another.

They are grateful for what they have received, so they naturally obey Lai Jie's orders 100%.

The time soon came to seven twenty-five, and there were still five minutes before the concert officially began.

The venue was fully occupied, with countless audience members holding glow sticks or cheering boards, waiting for the concert to begin with excitement in their hearts.

Somewhere in the front row of a concert.

Liao Bei's family of four were sitting quietly.

"The concert is about to start! Dad, have you adjusted the phone stand?"

Liao Xiaoqing was holding a cell phone and fiddling with it while talking.

She is Liao Bei's eldest daughter, 22 years old this year, and just graduated from university.

"It's all set."

Liao Bei obediently placed the stand in his hand on the open space in front of them. It was steady. Later he would just clip the phone on it and start recording with peace of mind.

Gu Zetao's concert does not have any restrictions in this regard. As long as you have the conditions, it is no problem to bring in a camera to record the concert.

Liao Xiaoqing took the mobile phone and put it on to do the final debugging.

"It's just a stick from Coria. Is that necessary?"

At this time, a rather soft voice sounded, with a bit of chattering:

"You didn't act like this when our dad was singing. Is it true that the songs sung by other family members are better?"

The girl who said this was Shen Huimin, Liao Bei's second daughter. She took her mother's surname, Shen Yu. She was thirteen or fourteen years old and was in her rebellious period.

"Shen Huimin, I'm in a good mood now and I'll allow you to say a few more words. If you come out and scream again when the concert starts, don't force me to slap you!"

Liao Xiaoqing turned around and looked at Shen Huimin with great contempt, not taking her words to heart at all. "Alright, alright, stop talking."

Shen Yu, who was sitting next to the two girls, advised loudly, frowning slightly.

To be honest, she didn't like this kind of scene at concerts. It was so noisy and she was bombarded by screams from time to time. It was like torture.

If it weren't for the strong request of Liao Xiaoqing and Liao Bei, Shen Yu would not have come to Gu Zetao's concert.

The first was that she was not very interested in Gu Zetao's songs, and the second was that she was no longer old enough to watch concerts.

Moreover, when Liao Bei held a concert, she was already a little tired of it, and now she has no interest in it at all.

It's just that Shen Yu is Shen Yu, and others are others.

When she feels indifferent, others will be so excited.

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"... "

At a certain moment, a countdown with extremely explosive visual effects suddenly appeared on the giant screen at the concert.

Accompanied by the screams of countless audiences, the countdown reached "0" and Gu Zetao slowly appeared on the stage standing on the lifting platform.

"Ahhh! So handsome!"

"Our Taotao! Invincible!"

"My husband is the most handsome!!!"

The roars of the female audience continued.

On the stage, gorgeous lights flashed continuously, and Gu Zetao began his performance tonight.

He performed one classic song after another, and the overwhelming sound waves on the scene deeply stimulated every audience member in the stadium.

"Is this a concert with tens of thousands of people? It's completely different from what we saw in the video! So shocking!"

In a corner of Area A of the auditorium, Wang Peini couldn't help but sigh.

She turned her head and saw a dark ocean behind her, but in the blink of an eye, countless stars lit up and it turned into a sea of ​​stars.

"It's shocking, but I always feel that this scene is not as comfortable as in the dormitory. What's going on?"

Rossi tilted his head, his ears were numb from the shock, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Yue smiled and said, "This is the disadvantage of watching a concert live. When you watch a video in the dormitory, the camera position and volume are all adjusted for you in advance, but when you get to the concert, you have to rely on luck."

Liu Yue glanced at Lai Jie and continued, "Thanks to Jie Jie, our location can be said to be a prime viewing location. If the location was worse, the experience would probably be worse."

"But none of that matters."

Liu Yue concluded: "People who come to concerts are all here to have fun with the atmosphere. As for listening to the songs? Who goes to a concert just to listen to the songs?"

After hearing this, Lai Jie was a little amused.

"So what's going on now? Is it halftime? Gu Zetao has been off the court for a while, right? Why hasn't he come on yet?"

Wang Penny noticed the situation on the field at this time.

"It seems so. Gu Zetao rested for a long time this time, didn't he?" Liu Yue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Did he encounter any problems when changing clothes?"

At this moment, more and more people have noticed this situation.

But no one was surprised. Concerts are usually divided into several parts, and what happened now was probably just that Gu Zetao had finished singing the first part.

I guess they will play a short video later to liven up the atmosphere for the audience, and then he will go back on stage wearing new clothes.

The fact was just as everyone thought. When the noise of the audience gradually grew louder, a video began to play on the giant screens on both sides of the stage.

The content of the video is very simple. It talks about Gu Zetao’s views on some music and the direction of his future creations.

"The theme I want to do most right now is probably 'ancient style'!"

After Gu Zetao finished speaking, the video came to an abrupt end.

The audience at the scene also cheered and screamed enthusiastically.

"They suddenly did this. Could it be that Taotao prepared a new song for us?"

"It's very possible. Maybe we'll be able to hear Taotao's new ancient style song later."

"Ancient style? I thought of an old friend."

Countless audiences were talking about it, and just as everyone was expecting it, a figure appeared on the dark stage.

The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on the figure.

The figure slowly walked to a piano in the center of the stage and took a seat gracefully.

As he moved, the audience kept screaming.

"I'm afraid that by now everyone hasn't realized that this figure is no longer me?"

In the lounge backstage, Gu Zetao said with a wry smile.

The audience cheered loudly, it was for him, but it was not for him either. Gu Zetao had a strange feeling.

"Your move..."

Feng Shiqi was also in the lounge. She smiled and said, "Although it's a bit unethical, there will definitely be many viewers who will be surprised later!"

Zheng Wei sat next to Feng Shiqi, also smiling: "Young people are full of tricks."

Gu Zetao grinned and said, "Just amuse the audience. This will make the concert more interesting."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of a piano rang out, and Gu Zetao couldn't help but shook his head and praised:
"What else can I say except genius? This piano playing really touched my heart."

……

"Nice! Nice piano!"

"Our Taotao is really multi-talented, and he plays the piano so beautifully!"

"I haven't heard it before! This is a new song! A new song!"

"But this style... seems a little off. What's going on?"

On the stage, as the figure's fingertips fell, soft piano sounds rang out.

The beautiful melody is mixed with a hint of sadness and melancholy, caressing the ears of every listener, trying to bring everyone into an antique, elegant and quiet artistic conception.

The sound of the piano continued to ring, and at a certain stage, it was as if someone had plucked a pipa. After a sound like the sound of a spring, the figure playing the piano gradually spoke:

"A Lamp of Sadness"

"Standing alone at the window"

"I'm behind the door"

"Pretend you're still here"

The light on the stage was still dim, and the audience could not see anything except that figure.

However, when these lines of the song sounded, some viewers with sharp ears noticed that something was wrong.

"Is this our Taotao's voice? Why does it feel a little different?"

"It's normal. Taotao is just researching a new way of singing."

"New song, new singing style, there doesn't seem to be any problem."

"Really? But I feel like this voice is a bit like that man's."

Listening to the new song, there were occasional rustling sounds coming from the audience.

Some people noticed that something was wrong, but they didn't say anything. After all, this was very unrealistic, and saying anything would probably only add to the joke.
