Chapter 241 There are some changes, but not much
(Forget the one you loved)
In the speakers, the gentle and clear background music flowed out, and Ding Xin began to walk on the stage and sing:

"The wedding invitation was printed with gold foil with that person in it"

“The wall with framed wedding photos”

"And all the good old days"

"To be removed simultaneously tomorrow"

There is a sense of relief in Ding Xin's singing, as if expressing some kind of determination.

From now on, forget the person who was included in the wedding invitation with you and made you wear the wedding dress.

Take down the wedding photo that symbolizes the good old days from the wall, and say goodbye to all the happy and beautiful memories of the past.

(Forget the home I once had)
“Small dining table, sofa, refrigerator and two cups of black tea”

"The warm light is just a loan, can't we take it back when it expires?"

“Can’t wait for the next generation?”

A small dining table, a soft sofa, a refrigerator for summer, and two cups of black tea that I usually drink after meals.

Are these warm scenes borrowed from God and are now being taken back when their time expires?
Before they even have the chance to share these things with the next generation of children, the warm home has already disappeared.

When Ding Xin sang to this point, the audience could understand what the song "Invitation Street" was about.

Regret, aftertaste, relief and other emotions arose in the hearts of the audience.

[This song...why do I feel like I can hear a faint sense of death?]
[Do you have the same idea?]
[+1+1]
[Ding Xin sang very well, the song was nice, and the lyrics were well written, but it was a little suffocating]
[This damn Cantonese, Ding and Ding don’t understand, Xie and Xie don’t know how to speak, and Xi Fan Ding]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking a lot.

At this time, some viewers who were watching the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" in the Greater Bay Area were quietly broken-hearted.

Listening to the song "Invitation Street", they seemed to have returned to the past, back to the days when the old street had not yet been demolished.

Ding Xin's singing continued:
"Forget the sand you've built"

"The fortress of memories collapsed in an instant"

"Facing this barren land of graves"

"You are destined to learn to be cool"

The past is like a castle built of sand. When time passes and memories fade away, they will collapse.

Faced with the wasteland piled up like a tomb, even if this was your former home, you must learn to welcome such changes with ease.

"Step bricks will not resist abrasion"

"Window paper-cuts cannot confine the setting sun"

The streets are bustling with people and traffic, trampling of people, and being washed away by wind and rain.

Therefore, even the solid bricks and stones on the steps know their limitations and will not resist natural corrosion and weathering.

Looking through the window grilles, the sunset is infinitely beautiful.

But why should we imprison such a sunset?

You can't force people or things that you can't touch and can't change.

"Will love last forever?"

"Is it useful to express regret again?"

If you invest your feelings, can you guarantee that you will remain committed to them?

What's the use of regretting at this time?
Just a few lines of lyrics contain a lot of meaning.

Many audience members in the audience were listening to Ding Xin's singing in a daze, with their mouths slightly open, wanting to say something but finding that they couldn't utter anything.

“The time will come eventually”

"Don't be afraid"

"Please put down the key in your hand"

"Okay"

Ding Xin slowly put down the microphone and looked quietly at the audience.

The audience was also silent.

The silence lasted for a while until some scattered applause broke the silence.

Thunderous applause broke out in the studio.

Everyone finally came out of the emotions in this song.

"Awesome! You silenced me straight away."

"Ding Xin sang so damn well tonight! I really want to hear it again!"

"No, what kind of magic does Bai Xingjian have? Ding Xin always performs well when she sings his songs, right?"

"It seems to be true."

"Maybe Bai Xingjian knows how to use Ding Xin."

Many people were surprised by Ding Xin's performance tonight. The situation was exactly the same as when she sang "Mo" before.

Chinese singers’ preparation room.

"Why do I feel like Ding Xin is sure to win tonight?"

Liao Bei smacked his lips, and his eyes swept across the people around him, finally landing on Bai Xingjian, and he said with a rather emotional tone:

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, if you were born a dozen years earlier, I think Ding Xin's achievements would definitely be more than this. She is absolutely suitable to sing the songs you wrote."

There are many good horses, but good horse trainers are rarely used.

This situation is more common in the music industry. In other words, there are many talented singers, but there are very few composers and lyricists suitable for these talented singers.

If this were not the case, the development of the Chinese music scene would not have stagnated in recent years, and there would even be signs of decline.

In Liao Bei's eyes, Bai Xingjian is like Ding Xin's mentor, especially since this little guy can compose music and lyrics, he is simply gifted.

In addition to this idea, Liao Bei has a bigger guess.

That is, Bai Xingjian is not only Ding Xin's mentor, but also the mentor of the current Chinese music scene.

However, this guess was too shocking, and Liao Bei was afraid that Bai Xingjian might not be able to bear it, so he just thought about it himself.

"It's not too late now, at 57, it's time to strive for success."

Gu Zetao interjected with a smile, and then said with emotion: "This song is really well sung! Now I just want to go back and play it on repeat! This kind of catchy Cantonese song really hits my spot!"

"Yes!"

Su Ning nodded in agreement, "Xin Jie sings Cantonese very charmingly, I also like the melody of this song."

As he said this, Suning gave Bai Xingjian a kind look.

He realized that as long as there was no conflict of interest with Fenghuang Yufei, there was no need for him to make things too awkward with Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi. The most important thing was to maintain good relations with them.

Bai Xingjian smiled back and said nothing.

"We should be able to have a great start tonight!" Qiao Xi nodded and said, attracting everyone to agree.

They are very confident in Ding Xin's performance tonight.

The same was true for the audience today. The thunderous applause lasted for a long time until Ding Xin sat down in the waiting area at the edge of the stage, and then everyone gradually quieted down.

"The pressure is coming to Shantimo all of a sudden!"

In front of the computer screen, Wang Pei Ni said with a smile: "If Ding Xin's condition was not different every week, I feel that our Chinese singer camp is actually quite strong."

"Indeed."

Liu Yue nodded in agreement, "But our camp is unstable. However, Ding Xin's condition tonight is really amazing. If she can beat Shantimo, then our camp will have a great advantage."

……

Studio scene.

Shantimo came on stage and sang a well-known English song. Maybe because everyone has heard the original version, it felt that Shantimo's singing tonight was a little off.

Therefore, as expected, in the vote among 101 KOL key opinion leaders on site, Shantimo lost to Ding Xin by 11 votes.

"Congratulations to Ding Xin for winning the first round!"

The host He Ling said loudly: "The Chinese singer camp gets 1 point!"

There was applause and cheers from the audience:
"It's not easy. It's really not easy!"

"Ding Xin's opening performance tonight was great! I hope the following Chinese singers can keep up the good work!"

"Ding Xin was able to beat Shantimo, it looks like we have the advantage tonight!"

Different from the lively atmosphere on the scene, many foreign netizens were expressing their dissatisfaction in the live broadcast room of the international broadcasting station.

[I'm not saying this, but is the voting in this competition really fair? Most of these KOLs are Chinese, and Ding Xin has been singing in Chinese. It's easy to imagine that these people will vote more for Ding Xin, right?]
[That’s right. Actually, in my opinion, Ding Xin should also sing an English song, so that it will be easier for the KOLs to choose, without so many off-stage factors involved.]
[It’s so funny, why don’t you let Shantimo sing Chinese songs too?]
[Now that off-site factors have come into play, if you have the guts, you can ask your domestic program organizers to host a program similar to "The Voice 2024"]
[Is there really anyone seeking truly fair competition rules for the variety show "The Voice of China 2024"? No way, no way?]
Chinese netizens ignored the dissatisfaction of foreign netizens, and even if they did respond, they would only respond with some sarcastic ridicule.

……

The other side of the ocean.

Emily was so angry when she saw the comments in the international broadcast station of "The Voice of China 2024".

At this time, the live broadcast screen also switched to the preparation rooms of the two major camps.

Looking at the figures on the screen, Emily gritted her teeth and said, "Jessica, use all your strength to crush these Chinese people. Their fans are simply too arrogant!"

The singers' discussion time passed quickly, and when the notification sounded in the preparation room, Jessica walked towards the stage aisle.

"Oh, they actually sent Jessica as the second one to compete. It seems that the foreign singer camp has also sensed some sense of crisis."

"So who do you think Jessica will choose as her opponent? I will rule out Fenghuang Yufei first."

"+1. Jessica will play in the second round. It is obvious that she wants to win this point steadily. Jessica has never won against Fenghuang Yufei before, so she will definitely not be so stubborn as to choose Fenghuang Yufei again."

"To be on the safe side, the opponent she is most likely to choose is Gu Zetao. After all, Gu Zetao's previous wins were due to luck."

Jessica's appearance sparked a lot of discussion among the audience.

Chinese singers’ preparation room.

The expressions of Liao Bei and others were also different.

"Jessica is coming with great force." Liao Bei said.

"Some people are here with bad intentions." Gu Zetao had a bad feeling in his heart.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

As a team that defeated Jessica twice in a row, Bai Xingjian was not panicked at all.

And Jessica also said on WeChat a few days ago that she would not choose Fenghuang Yufei as her opponent again.

The main reason is that she didn’t win twice, and her mentality was more or less affected.

Feng Shiqi looked at the broadcast screen and smiled. She naturally knew about this.

However, Feng Shiqi was thinking that if Jessica chose her and A Jian as her opponents tonight, this girl would not be without a chance of winning.

After all, she and Bai Xingjian did not participate in the rehearsal this time, and they did not have much time to practice singing, so their preparation was insufficient, so the stage effect can only depend on the situation.

Some netizens who watched the live broadcast also made a fuss about the fact that Fenghuang Yufei did not participate in the rehearsal of "The Voice of China 2024" this time.

[If I were Jessica, I would definitely choose Phoenix Flying. Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi didn’t come to rehearsal this week, so the stage effect is definitely not guaranteed]
[If that's the case, then isn't Jessica taking advantage of someone's misfortune?]
[How can this be considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Shouldn't it be taking advantage of your illness to kill you?]
[Haha, Jessica is not that kind of person]
……

When Jessica, wearing a white strapless evening dress, came to the center of the stage, many viewers felt that the studio had turned white.

Under the gazes of countless people, Jessica revealed her choice of opponent for tonight:
"Gu Zetao."

He still speaks fluent Chinese, which is refreshing to listen to.

"I guessed it! I guessed it! It's actually Gu Zetao!"

"Hahaha, I don't believe that Gu Zetao can still have such good luck tonight and beat Jessica?"

"Luck is nothing in the face of absolute strength!"

Many viewers at the scene guessed Jessica's choice.

As for Gu Zetao himself, he spread his hands helplessly after hearing his name.

"I feel like it's a bit difficult for me." He sighed.

"It's okay, just let it go." Liao Bei patted his shoulder and said something to comfort him.

Everyone can see Jessica's strength, and it will indeed be difficult for Gu Zetao to face her.

The same is true.

Jessica's performance tonight was impeccable, and it could even be said to be her best night since "The Voice 2024".

The various high-pitched transitions made countless audiences' scalps tingle.

After her performance ended, Gu Zetao also understood a truth.

Not only is energy conserved in the world, but luck is also conserved.

He is in bad luck tonight.

……

"Congratulations to Jessica for winning the second round!"

"Foreign singers get +1 points. Their current points are 2, while the Chinese singers get 1 point."

On the stage, He Ling read aloud.

In the second round, Jessica defeated Gu Zetao with a huge advantage of 25 votes, winning back a point for the foreign singer camp.

"So, who will go first in the next round?"

In the Chinese singers' preparation room, Ding Xin asked.

After these words were spoken, Liao Bei, Feiniao Yuyu and Fenghuang Yufei, who had not yet gone into battle, looked at each other, but no one spoke.

In the end, it was Bai Xingjian who broke the deadlock. He said, "How about Sister Qi and I go pick the people first? Our performance preparations for this week are not very thorough. It would definitely be better if we could take some initiative."

Liao Bei, Suning and others also knew that Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi did not attend the rehearsal this week, and they all nodded in agreement.

But Suning asked: "Who are you going to choose as your opponent?"

Currently, the only foreign singers left who have not performed are Mars Brother, Vanxia and Park Ji-jae.

"Brother Mars." Bai Xingjian responded.

"Brother Mars?"

Su Ning showed a surprised expression, "You didn't even prepare for the stage well enough and chose Mars as your opponent? Are you serious?"

Liao Bei, Gu Zetao and Ding Xin all looked at Bai Xingjian with some surprise on their faces.

Brother Mars is currently the strongest singer in the opposing camp. Even though the situation is like this, Bai Xingjian still wants to challenge him?

The young man is full of confidence!

"How about I change one?" Bai Xingjian said without hesitation, looking at Liao Bei and Suning:
"If you have the confidence to fight against Mars brother."

Suning was waiting for Bai Xingjian to say this, and said, "Then you can change someone else. Let us take care of Brother Mars tonight."

In order to wash away the criticism from last week, Suning and Qiao Xi made sufficient preparations for tonight's performance.

Therefore, choosing Brother Mars as their opponent is the best way for them to prove their relationship with the birds and the fish.

"In that case, why don't you go first, otherwise you may not be able to choose later."

Bai Xingjian smiled and didn't insist.

"reasonable!"

Su Ning replied in agreement, and then he and Qiao Xi walked out of the preparation room with firm steps.

Tonight, Bird and Fish must capture Brother Mars!
