Chapter 275 "Love the Way You Lie"
Beijing.
In a luxurious villa on the Second Ring Road.
Ji Qiu, the artist director of the music department of Yehua Entertainment, was sitting on the sofa with his wife and daughter, watching the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 100" on a 2024-inch TV.
"Jessica is so powerful, can your Fenghuang Yufei group snatch the title of singer from her?"
Ji Qiu’s wife asked. Her name was Chen Xi. She was 31 years old, sexy and graceful.
At this time, she was wearing a gray suspender dress and sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.
Maybe she was in a good mood, she put her sandals on her left leg and her feet were shaking.
Chen Xi's hands were not idle either. He held a bright red pomegranate, peeled the seeds one by one and put them into his mouth, watching the live broadcast on TV with curiosity in his eyes.
"To be honest, I'm not really sure. After all, Jessica's performance on stage is really shocking."
While Ji Qiu was doing a jigsaw puzzle with his five-year-old daughter, he answered his wife's question:
"Besides, the first group of performers, Birds and Fish, are not easy to deal with either. It will be quite difficult for Fenghuang Yufei to take the title of Singer from them."
“But from an idealistic point of view, I feel that Fenghuang Yufei still has a high chance of winning the title of Singer.”
"Why?" Chen Xi turned around and asked curiously.
Ji Qiu did not give a definite answer, but just said: "It's a feeling. I can't really say for sure. Anyway, I just feel that Fenghuang Yufei is very confident."
"Oops! Dad! You spelled it wrong again! Can you be more serious and stop chatting with mom?"
As soon as Ji Qiu finished speaking, the little girl next to him suddenly became annoyed. She supported her hands on the puzzle, raised her head, opened her big eyes, and stared at Ji Qiu.
Chen Xi couldn't help laughing and stared at the father and daughter in silence.
"Okay, okay, I won't chat with mom anymore."
Ji Qiu nodded repeatedly, then turned to Chen Xi and said, "Mom, did you hear that? Stop chatting with Dad. Dad needs to concentrate on helping Xixi with her puzzle."
Chen Xi smiled and said nothing, but the little girl turned her head and looked at her, then smiled and nodded:
"That's pretty much it."
What the little girl didn't know was that although her father had promised to do the puzzle with her, his mind was completely focused on the TV at the moment.
It’s just that the little girl was concentrating on doing the puzzle and didn’t look up again, so she didn’t notice anything.
……
Mango Broadcasting Building.
The studio scene with slightly dim lighting.
At this time, Fenghuang Yufei’s pre-match interview is being played.
As soon as Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi appeared on the big screen, there was an uproar at the scene.
The live broadcast room was bustling with excitement.
[No, what is Bai Xingjian wearing?]
[This baseball cap, this big gold chain, is he a raper? ]
[It’s rapper, not raper. Although there is only a letter p difference, the meaning is very different! ]
[Could it be that Shang Shanglou also graduated from a junior college?]
[With this hip-hop style outfit, it seems that Bai Xingjian is going to sing rap in this final round.]
[Looking forward to it! ]
[I just want to know how heavy Bai Xingjian's gold chain is!]
[How heavy can it be? This sheen makes it look like plastic.]
Netizens in the live broadcast room discussed Bai Xingjian's outfit.
At this time, the editor-in-chief on the screen asked: "It's the last round of the finals. How do you feel now?"
Bai Xingjian, who was sitting upright on a high stool, said, "Nervous, expectant, and excited."
Very official answer.
"Shiqi, what about you?"
The editor-in-chief looked at Feng Shiqi and added with a smile: "Can you be more specific?"
Feng Shiqi nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and replied: "I feel the same as Jian, but I am mainly excited and looking forward to it, and only a little nervous."
The editor-in-chief: "Is that so? It seems that you are very confident about the upcoming performance."
I feel only a little nervous, which implies that I'm not too worried about the upcoming performance, right?
It seems that Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are really confident!
Many viewers thought so and showed interested expressions on their faces.
And Su Ning and Qiao Xi in the preparation room, and Jessica next door.
When he saw this interview with Fenghuang Yufei, he frowned slightly, and a feeling of uneasiness began to spread.
The voice of the editor-in-chief continued to ring out: "Xingjian's outfit tonight is quite stylish, and it is very different from your usual style."
As he said this, the camera began to give a close-up of Bai Xingjian, especially the big gold necklace hanging around his neck.
Perhaps it was because of Bai Xingjian's temperament and the design of the gold necklace, but when Bai Xingjian wore a five-pound necklace, he did not look like a nouveau riche at all, only a little bit exaggerated.
The audience was also amused by Bai Xingjian’s painting style.
When the camera gave a close-up, there was laughter rising and falling from the audience.
However, when the voice of the editor-in-chief sounded, everyone fell silent again, and stared at the big screen intently.
"Is this outfit related to the song we're singing tonight?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone became interested.
Ding Xin, who was sitting in the special guest seat, began to lean forward involuntarily, as if she could hear more clearly this way.
Bai Xingjian grinned and said, "It is indeed related to the song I will be singing later. After all, if there is no connection, I would not wear it like this. Everyone can look forward to it."
"Yes, everyone can look forward to it~"
This time, Feng Shiqi said to the camera with a sweet smile.
The audience felt that this scene was extremely familiar.
"If I remember correctly, Bai Xingjian seemed to have said 'look forward to it' during the first round of interviews?"
"That's right. At that time he said 'Qianqian, look forward to it'. This time he didn't even say 'Qianqian'. Maybe Fenghuang Yufei will come up with a song that's even more powerful than 'Beautiful Myth'."
"That's right! Last time we interviewed Feng Shiqi, she didn't even mention anything about looking forward to it, but this time even she said 'look forward to it'. So, isn't the next song by Fenghuang Yufei going to be an explosion?"
"Awesome, awesome!"
The audience was talking about it, and everyone was staring at the stage, their appetite was whetted by the interview with Fenghuang Yufei.
In the backcourt, in the preparation room where the birds and fish are.
"Isn't the song they prepared this time really that great? They've already started saying things like that."
After watching Fenghuang Yufei's pre-match interview, Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Well, there's no point in worrying about this now. We'll see how powerful it is later."
Suning didn't know what to say at this time, his eyes were fixed on the broadcast screen in the room.
Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi had already walked out of the aisle and were heading towards the center of the stage together, greeted by the applause and cheers of the audience.
The camera gives a close-up of the two people.
Bai Xingjian was dressed in hip-hop style, with a black hooded sweatshirt, a black lined T-shirt, black trousers, and a five-pound necklace around his neck. Unlike the pre-match interview, Bai Xingjian wore the hood of his sweatshirt when he walked out of the tunnel.
That is, he wore two hats, one was the baseball cap he wore first, and the second was the hat on the sweatshirt he wore on top of the baseball cap.
I’m not sure whether this style of dressing is comfortable, but it is definitely very handsome.
After the camera gave a close-up of Bai Xingjian, the female audience members were so excited that their throats were about to break.
And it wasn't just the female audiences who were shouting, some male audiences were also shouting just as loudly.
"Oh my god, isn't Bai Xingjian's outfit so handsome?"
"Bai Xingjian! He's so handsome! He's so handsome!"
"Ahhh! It's going to be so cool!"
Some female audience members were almost shouting out loud.
Fortunately, the camera did not continue to give close-ups to Bai Xingjian. After a certain period of time, the close-up was given to Feng Shiqi.
Feng Shiqi was naturally also wearing the black dress, but as she walked, the red and yellow part of her skirt was revealed, swaying gently like waves, like a burning flame.
This design has amazed countless people.
[Oh my god, I thought Feng Shiqi's skirt was on fire, but I didn't expect it was designed like this on purpose, so cool!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, this skirt looks expensive, doesn’t it?]
[Not expensive, not expensive, it’s just the autumn couture that Hermès recently released. Feng Shiqi’s dress seems to be around 800,000 or 900,000 yuan.]
[Only 800,000 or 900,000? I thought it was 800,000 or 900,000. I didn’t expect it to be so cheap. This skirt doesn’t look as valuable as Bai Xingjian’s gold necklace.]
[This is true. Bai Xingjian’s gold necklace weighs five kilograms and is also a new product recently launched by Chow Tai Fook. The official retail price is 188 million.]
[? ? ? ? ? ]
[Fuck! A five-pound gold necklace?! Damn, I thought Bai Xingjian was wearing a fake thing, but this is real?]
[It is absolutely real, imitations have not come out so quickly]
[Oh my god, wearing a five-pound gold necklace around my neck, won’t it affect Bai Xingjian’s singing?]
[Wang Defa? I just came to watch a live broadcast, why are you telling me about things I can't afford?]
[It’s broken. I really can’t afford it now…]
[…Fenghuang Yufei is not at all friendly to the people, woo woo woo.]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were discussing non-stop.
Of course, there are also knowledgeable netizens who directly dug out the prices of some of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi’s outfits, causing many netizens to exclaim.
……
Under the gazes of countless people, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi looked at each other with a smile, then walked towards their respective positions.
Feng Shiqi slowly came to the front of the stage, where there was a microphone stand.
Bai Xingjian stood in a corner of the stage, quite a distance away from Feng Shiqi.
This position is also completely different from their previous stages.
This again aroused the curiosity of many viewers.
"Is it finally coming?"
Outside the screen, Wang Peini started to get excited as she watched Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi standing.
"With these outfits...it seems hard for them not to come up with a shocking piece of music!"
Liu Yue folded her hands over her chest and said with great emotion.
She and Lai Jie looked at each other, and she saw the deep meaning in Lai Jie's eyes.
Lai Jie smiled and said, "I now have a 90% chance that Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi will sing an all-English song. If not, it will be difficult for them to end the show!"
"really."
Liu Yue nodded, and under Luo Xi's confused gaze, she said, "You said so much during the interview. Apart from the all-English song, I really don't know what other song is more worth looking forward to than "Beautiful Myth"."
As soon as he finished speaking, information about the song sung by Fenghuang Yufei appeared.
【"Love the Way You Lie"】
【Phoenix in Flight】
【Lyrics: Bai Xingjian】
【Composition: Bai Xingjian】
【Arranger: Bai Xingjian】
Liu Yue and Lai Jie looked at each other again, and both smiled with satisfaction.
Wang Penny and Rossi looked horrified and said in unison:
"No, did you two really sing an English song?"
The situation in the studio was no different from that in the girls' dormitories.
After seeing the title of this song, many viewers showed expressions of shock and surprise.
"Oh my god! English! It's actually English!"
"Ahhh! I guessed right! Fenghuang Yufei is actually going to sing an English song!"
"Fuck! Awesome! Phoenix is flying awesome! Phoenix is flying YYDS!"
"No, can you guys not be so excited? It's just an English song title. Maybe the content of the song is all in Chinese? This has happened before."
"That's right, I really don't know what's so exciting about an English song title. Are all of you Phoenix Flying fans so sensitive? Can you get excited just by a song title?"
There were discussions and uproars in the audience.
Fortunately, everyone was able to control themselves and did not make too much noise to disturb Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi on the stage.
“That’s amazing.”
In the special guest seat, Ding Xin raised her hand and gave Feng Shiqi a thumbs up.
The two were very close, with a straight-line distance of no more than three meters, so Feng Shiqi could clearly see Ding Xin's movements.
Feng Shiqi responded with a slight smile.
Some audience members who were closer to the stage were watching Feng Shiqi all the time. Her faint smile made many of them feel melted.
Liao Bei, who was sitting next to Ding Xin, noticed the interaction between the two and sighed and shook his head.
His heart was in turmoil and he had not yet come to terms with the title of the song.
Mars and Shantimo, who were standing next to Liao Bei, both had their mouths slightly open, looking surprised.
The two looked at each other, and saw indescribable surprise in each other's eyes.
Fenghuang Yufei is so brave!
As for Suning and Qiao Xi in the backcourt preparation room, and Jessica next to them.
At this moment, they were not as surprised as the audience. It was mainly because they expected Fenghuang Yufei to sing an English song.
"I can only say that I hope they can sing this song well, otherwise they will just be digging a hole for themselves."
Suning said in a calm tone.
It’s not that he doesn’t care about Fenghuang Yufei’s choice, but he is a little numb at this moment.
"Hey, I hope Fenghuang Yufei doesn't do the same as us and mix Chinese and English."
Qiao Xi had a look of despair on his face.
If Fenghuang Yufei sang the same type of song as them, it would be awkward for the combination anyway.
