Chapter 253 Conquest
"Sister Xin, what are you going to say later?"

On the way to the singer's home, Bai Xingjian asked Ding Xin.

Ding Xin and Fenghuang Yufei were matched together in a 1V1 match. According to the rules, the performance order should be decided by Fenghuang Yufei.

But Bai Xingjian still planned to see what Ding Xin thought.

"Oh~ I'll go up and perform first later."

Ding Xin said helplessly: "What's the matter with the lottery tonight? I wanted to sing the song you wrote, but I ended up running into you Fenghuang Yufei."

"Haha, maybe this is fate." Feng Shiqi smiled brightly.

"But this is also good. I haven't had a chance to compete with you guys in "The Voice of China 2024" for such a long time. Please don't show mercy when we perform later~"

Ding Xin also smiled happily and looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

"Don't worry, Sister Xin, we will do our best." Bai Xingjian pursed his lips and couldn't help but glance at Feng Shiqi.

They have practiced a lot this week for tonight's performance.

Soon, everyone arrived at the singer's home.

Then they sat together according to the 1V1 groups they had matched with.

Not long after we sat down, the radio started talking.

It was a notice asking Liao Bei, Asuka and Yu, who were to perform in the first round, to go to the studio to prepare for the performance.

"No, we just sat down and our butts haven't even warmed up yet, and you called us over?"

Liao Bei couldn't help but complain: "It would be better for us to just stay on the stage. It's such a wasted trip."

But despite all the complaints, Liao Bei still obediently got up from the sofa and returned to the stage with Su Ning and Qiao Xi.

……

"So, in the first round of 1v1 competition tonight, who will be the first to go on stage to sing?"

When Liao Bei, Feiniao and Yu appeared at the entrance of the stage passage, He Ling at the edge of the stage spoke loudly.

Then, under the gazes of countless people, Liao Bei walked straight onto the stage, while Su Ning and Qiao Xi walked towards the waiting area at the edge of the stage.

"Applause to welcome the first singer to perform tonight, Liao Bei!"

After he finished speaking, Liao Bei came to the center of the stage amid warm applause from the audience.

The song he prepared tonight was a rock-style song, one of Liao Bei's early compositions.

As the familiar melody sounded, countless audiences at the scene and netizens in the live broadcast room expressed their feelings, "My youth is back."

[I am a little tearful, Brother Bei!]
[Those who have heard this song "Glorious" probably have children in elementary school now, right?]
[The child is in primary school? Don’t mention it, I have been a solo artist since birth!]
[It still feels familiar!]
While singing his old songs on the stage, Liao Bei had some emotions surging in his heart, so much so that he couldn't help choking up when he sang some of the heartfelt lyrics.

And his singing also deeply touched countless listeners.

Some audience members with stronger empathy already had tears in their eyes.

The song passed quickly, and when the last note fell, deafening applause broke out.

The edge of the stage.

Qiao Xi raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, then stood up and gave Liao Bei a warm round of applause together with Su Ning.

He Ling took control of the situation at the right time: "Thank you Brother Bei for bringing us a wonderful stage. Next, please invite his opponents, Bird and Fish, to come on stage to sing."

"Everyone welcomes you with applause!"

There was continued warm applause at the scene, and Liao Bei exchanged the stage with Su Ning and Qiao Xi.

When the two sides met, Liao Bei and Suning hugged each other in a friendly manner.

Such a scene made many viewers feel emotional.

[Ahhh, why do we have to let domestic singers kill each other! ]
[We are of the same root, why are we so anxious to fight each other!]
[Tonight's 1V1 draw is really intoxicating]
[There's something even more fucked up in the second round, Ding Xin and Fenghuang Yufei are having a 1v1 showdown!]
[I can only say that the program team understands the program effect...]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking a lot.

Under the gazes of countless people, Su Ning and Qiao Xi also began their singing tonight.

At this stage of "The Voice of China 2024", almost no one has any reservations.

Birds and Fish sang a song that is well-known and very suitable for competitions. Suning and Qiao Xi were in full swing tonight.

The two people sang loudly, and the audience couldn't help but open their mouths slightly.

Singer's House.

Ding Xin smacked her lips and said with a sigh, "Xiao Su and Xiao Qiao are in such a state tonight. I'm afraid Liao Bei will be sent home by them."

“It’s really amazing.”

Feng Shiqi, who was sitting next to Ding Xin, nodded in agreement, "I feel like they have a chance of winning against anyone tonight."

Hearing this, Ding Xin turned around and asked Feng Shiqi and Bai Xingjian curiously, "What if it's against you?"

"Half and half."

The corners of Feng Shiqi's mouth curved upward.

Although the birds and fish tonight are indeed powerful, their flying phoenixes are not vegetarians either.

"It looks like I'm going to be under a lot of pressure later."

Ding Xin nodded and said with a smile.

……

Studio scene.

When Suning and Qiao Xi ended their concert tonight with a common high-pitched ending, the audience in the auditorium was almost boiling with excitement.

The applause, cheers, and shouts seemed to be about to blow the roof of the studio off.

In the waiting area at the edge of the stage, Liao Bei had already stood up and was shaking his head and clapping.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was even more overwhelming.

[Oh my god, this stage of Birds and Fish tonight can be said to be the best performance of Qiao Xi and Su Ning in "The Voice of China 2024", right? ]
[That’s right! The Birds and Fishes are at full strength tonight. Their stage is in vain no matter who comes!]
[Even Phoenix Yufei has to hide from the spotlight for a while!]
[Damn! Their high notes almost numbed me. What is the feeling of tingling scalp? That's what I just experienced!]
[Hahaha, it seems that Asuka and Yu have a strong desire to stay in "The Voice 2024"!]
[I can only say it’s a pity for Brother Bei]
The warm atmosphere lasted for a while until the host He Ling came out to take control of the situation.

"Okay, the two groups of singers in the first round of 1v1 tonight have finished their performances. I think everyone should know what's going to happen next without me having to tell them."

There were scattered uproars at the scene.

He Ling continued loudly: "Yes, the next step is the voting phase."

"Please all 1001 audience members, pick up the voting devices in your hands and press the number 1, which means you support Liao Bei's performance. Press the number 2, which means you support the performance of Birds and Fish."

"Make your choice!"

As soon as the words fell, tense and rhythmic background music sounded in the studio.

Voting officially begins.

"I feel like there's not much suspense. Birds and fish have a great chance of winning."

"It's not easy to say, actually. What if the audience likes Liao Bei's songs more?"

"Who did you vote for?"

"That must be Birds and Fish. There is really no reason not to vote for Suning and Qiao Xi tonight."

"..."

The voting session ended quickly.

The camera gives close-ups of Liao Bei, the flying birds and the fish.

Liao Bei's expression was very calm, and it seemed that he accepted all the results calmly.

As for Suning and Qiao Xi, they looked a little embarrassed and nervous.

Obviously, both of them care more about the voting results.

"The rules for tonight are very simple. Those with more votes will have a chance to successfully break through tonight, and those with fewer votes will be eliminated immediately."

He Ling's voice sounded at the right time, "So, what will be the result of the first round of 1v1 duel tonight?" "Please look at the big screen!"

Sonorous and powerful words were uttered, and countless eyes followed He Ling's movements and looked at the big screen behind the stage.

Liao Bei, Su Ning and Qiao Xi also turned their heads to look with different feelings.

The voting results are displayed.

Liao Bei: 408 votes.

Birds and Fishes: 593 votes.

The difference in votes was nearly two hundred.

"Congratulations to Feiniao and Yu for winning the 1V1 duel!" He Ling's excited voice rang out.

However, the atmosphere on the scene was not as lively as when the Birds and Fishes performance ended.

Amid the cheers, there were some sighs and voices of regret.

After all, Liao Bei, Feiniao and Yu are like the palms and backs of the hands of the audience. No matter who wins or loses, the audience will not feel good.

Instead, Liao Bei gladly accepted the result.

Looking at Su Ning and Qiao Xi who were happy but not too happy, Liao Bei opened his arms.

This time, both Suning and Qiao Xi hugged him.

"The victory of Bird and Fish also means that Bei Ge's journey in "The Voice of China 2024" has come to an end."

After the hug, He Ling said in a low voice: "Brother Laibei, please give us your farewell speech."

There was an uproar at the scene.

"No, this is too fast, isn't it? Are you starting to give a farewell speech right now?"

"The program crew, please behave yourself!"

"Woo woo woo, the little pearls are going to fall again."

Liao Bei took the microphone, looked at the audience in front of him, and slowly spoke:

"How should I put it? It's a pity that I couldn't accompany you all to the end."

"But fortunately, although I didn't make it to the end, there are still many excellent singers left on the stage. I think they will carry my heart and persevere to the end."

Liao Bei spoke very tactfully, but everyone could understand what he meant.

He continued, "Now our Chinese music scene is finally showing a trend of the younger generation surpassing the older generation. I am very pleased about this. I hope that we will all get better and better. That's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

Then, under the gazes of countless people, Liao Bei walked towards the elimination channel, ending tonight's live broadcast recording.

……

Liao Bei's departure seemed to cast a dark cloud over the singer's home.

Whether they were Chinese singers or foreign singers, the expressions on everyone's faces became solemn.

The broadcast sounded for the second time.

Ding Xin, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other, then stood up from their seats and went to the studio.

[This game tonight is really a cannibalistic one!]
[I came here from Weibo, this is really Ding Xin VS Fenghuang Yufei! ]
[Here they come! They are coming towards the stage!]
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was extremely overwhelming, and the number of people watching the live broadcast had reached an extremely terrifying number.

2500 million +
Many people came to watch the live broadcast after seeing the trending searches for Ding Xin and Fenghuang Yufei’s 1V1 on Weibo.

"If everyone knew that the song Ding Xin sang tonight was written by Bai Xingjian, I don't know how explosive the program team's effect would be."

Looking at the data in the live broadcast room, Li Xiao said with a smile on his face.

Hong Yang laughed a few times: "Anyway, the popularity of our show tonight is bound to be maxed out."

Studio scene.

Amid the audience's warm cheers, Ding Xin walked straight onto the stage, while Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sat in the waiting area at the edge of the stage.

Ding Xin took a deep breath and stood calmly in the center of the stage.

The lights on the scene dimmed, and three heartbeat-like sound effects sounded.

Information about the song Ding Xin is about to sing is displayed.

【conquer】

【Singer: Ding Xin】

【Lyrics: Bai Xingjian】

【Composition: Bai Xingjian】

【Arranger: Bai Xingjian】

After seeing these contents, many audience members and netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned.

"Huh? Ding Xin is singing the song written by Bai Xingjian again?"

"Forget about singing, the problem is that Ding Xin is still competing against Fenghuang Yufei!"

"Using the song you wrote to defeat you? What do you mean by anti-Tian Gang?"

“The show was really effective.”

When Zhou Dingxin asked Bai Xingjian to sing a song, Bai Xingjian was actually a little surprised.

It's just that he didn't have any songs that were particularly suitable for Ding Xin at the moment, so he took out a song that had been in his inventory for a long time and gave it to her, "Conquer".

Bai Xingjian has also watched Ding Xin's rehearsal performance of this song, and can only say that the effect is great, especially the last part of the head voice, which is simply top-notch.

on the stage.

The retro prelude sounded, as if bringing the audience back to the late 90s.

In the deep and serene atmosphere, Ding Xin held up the microphone and started to sing at the right time:
"Finally you found a way to decide the winner."

"The price of winning or losing is to be crushed to pieces"

"You look healthy on the outside, but you have countless scars on the inside"

"I am a prisoner of this battle"

Her voice is very soft but very steady, with almost no vibrato, and can be described as perfect.

Ding Xin's condition also surprised many viewers.

"Sister Xin's singing of Bai Xingjian's songs is really very steady!"

"What's going on with Bai Xingjian recently? Has he suddenly become obsessed with retro style? This was the case with the song "Nobody" for Galaxy Girls, and the song "Conquer" tonight as well."

“Hahaha, the melody of this song really sounds old.”

"The song is called "Conquer", how come there is no passion at all? Ding Xin even sang it half-heartedly..."

Many audience members were chirping secretly, but before she could finish her words, Ding Xin on the stage started singing louder and louder.

"I was conquered by you"

“Cut off all escape routes”

“My heart is strong”

“My decision was muddled”

Ding Xin's singing voice is full, affectionate and focused, and the emotions she expresses allow the audience to feel the pain and struggle in the song.

But at this moment, everyone's attention seems to be not on Ding Xin, but on the lyrics.

[This word is written... Did Bai Xingjian write it like this on purpose?]
[If this was intentional, then Bai Xingjian really has a bad taste.]
[Ah? What do you mean?]
[This is not difficult. When Fenghuang Yufei was still in "The New Era of Heavenly Group", didn't Ding Xin directly criticize Bai Xingjian on Weibo? And now? Ding Xin sang Bai Xingjian's song. How could this not be conquered?]
[Oh my god! Is that so? Bai Xingjian is really amazing]
