Chapter 276 Everyone stand up!

A small town in Orlando, America.

Unlike the starry sky in Linjiang City, the sun is shining brightly in Orlando at this moment. The sunlight at ten o'clock in the morning is even bright enough to make people drowsy.

In a B&B in a small town, a tall, handsome man with oriental looks opened the door of the B&B, bringing with him a variety of breakfasts.

As soon as he entered the room, the man heard a familiar voice, and his hand holding breakfast paused uncontrollably.

"Are you back?"

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Wang Yaqi, who was wearing a suspender pajamas, smiled and said something, but she did not turn her head, her eyes still fixed on the TV not far away.

What is being played on TV at this moment is the final of "The Voice of China 2024".

The people who appeared on the screen were Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

"When did you wake up? Are you hungry?"

The man carrying the breakfast was naturally Li Zhenxi. He placed the things in his hands steadily on the coffee table and began to pack up.

"I'm not hungry yet. Why don't you come over and watch some TV first? We can eat after you finish watching this."

This time, Wang Yaqi looked at Li Zhenxi, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"It's Fenghuang Yufei's turn to perform on stage now. After their performance, the final of The Voice of China 2024 will be over."

Hearing this, Li Zhenxi's hand movements became a little unnatural, but soon returned to normal.

He put down what he was holding, went to the sofa and sat with Wang Yaqi to watch TV.

However, after seeing Bai Xingjian on the screen, Li Zhenxi couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't we agree not to pay attention to these things? Why are you thinking about watching them again?"

Ever since GoldenCold's disappointing defeat in "The Voice of China 2024", Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi no longer have much desire to stay in this industry.

After that, GoldenCold's development seemed to have stagnated.

Although they also tried to go on tour, as if fate was deliberately playing a trick on them, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi went to Gu Zetao's concert.

This incident naturally caused a great shock to Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi at the time.

They also gradually realized that if they continued to stay in the entertainment industry, they would probably have to live under the shadow of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi for the rest of their lives.

So Wang Yaqi came up with the idea of ​​retiring from the entertainment industry, and Li Zhenxi agreed with her.

Not long after, the two announced their retirement from the entertainment industry in front of Lin Hailun.

Lin Hailun: ?????

Lin Hailun was completely confused at the time, but he didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything. He had no choice but to accept the situation.

Since then, GoldenCold has been disbanded.

However, this news has not been released yet, and GoldenCold’s fans are not aware of it.

After retiring from the entertainment industry, Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi also felt a sense of relief that they had not felt for a long time.

The two discussed it and started their life after retiring from the entertainment industry.

Travel around the world.

Today, Orlando, America, is the umpteenth stop that Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi have visited.

Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi only knew that they had been abroad for almost a month.

During the trip, the two also abided by the agreement they had made before and stopped reading any news in the entertainment industry, especially those related to Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

But today, Wang Yaqi broke their agreement, so Li Zhenxi asked her this question.

"Oh, this is the last time."

Wang Yaqi held Li Zhenxi's arm and said coquettishly, "After watching "The Voice 2024" this time, I will never watch it again."

"Don't you want to know who will be the singer king of "The Voice 2024" tonight?"

Wang Yaqi winked at Li Zhenxi and asked with a smile: "You should be curious too, right?"

"..."

Li Zhenxi was indeed very curious, especially whether Fenghuang Yufei could win the title of King of Singers tonight.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Yaqi smiled and said, "Then let's watch it together!"

"Ah."

Li Zhenxi nodded, raised his arm and put his arm around Wang Yaqi on the sofa, and watched the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" together.

Then, not long after, they both saw the song that Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were about to sing.

Wang Yaqi's eyes widened immediately. "No, have they evolved to this point? They sang in Korean last time, and now they're singing in English again?"

"Sing in Korean?"

Li Zhenxi looked at Wang Yaqi in confusion, "Did Bai Xingjian sing a Korean song before?"

"Yeah, but it wasn't sung by him. It was sung by Feng Shiqi, that is..."

Wang Yaqi explained for Li Zhenxi.

After learning some information, Li Zhenxi smiled and said, "I see. But I feel that the difficulty of singing in Chinese and English should be lower than that of singing in Chinese and Korean. After all, we have been exposed to English since we were young."

"However, judging from Bai Xingjian's choice, Fenghuang Yufei really wants to win the title of the best singer of "The Voice of China 2024"!"

As he was talking, Li Zhenxi couldn't help but sigh, "And they also wanted to win the title of King of Songs in a way that would be more convincing to the audience, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen to add foreign languages ​​to the song."

Now that he has retired from the entertainment industry, Lee Jin-seok feels much more relaxed when he says these words.

Anyway, what happens to Fenghuang Yufei has nothing to do with them. He and Wang Yaqi are now just bystanders and have walked out of the situation.

So when facing these things now, Li Zhenxi no longer feels the same sense of urgency as before.

GoldenCold no longer exists, and the oppression of Fenghuang Yufei has disappeared.

"But I feel that if that's the case, they might as well sing "Beautiful Myth" in the last round. After all, the Chinese-Korean duet is much more shocking than the Chinese-English duet. I was stunned when Feng Shiqi sang in Korean before."

Wang Yaqi muttered to herself, "But Fenghuang Yufei chose to sing the Chinese-English duet song in the last round, and it also clashed with Fei Niao Yu Yu. It was really an unwise choice."

That’s right, Wang Yaqi and Li Zhenxi subconsciously thought that "Love the Way You Lie" was a duet song in Chinese and English.

After all, "Beautiful Myth" is a Chinese-Korean duet song, so I just thought so based on my inertial thinking. Many netizens in the official live broadcast room of "The Voice of China 2024" also had the same idea as them.

[No, did you, Phoenix Yufei, discuss this with the Birds and Fishes? You all started singing in English in the last round?]
[Birds and fish: Why do you want to learn from us? Don’t you Phoenixes have your own songs?]
[It’s so funny, Phoenix Flying sang a Chinese-Korean duet song in the first round, but you Birds and Fish didn’t bring it out until the second round. Isn’t it obvious who learned from whom?]
[No, you guys can also argue about this? How can anyone copy someone else? You guys are talking as if the two songs "Birds and Fishes" and "Flying Phoenix" were just written.]
[So what is the Chinese translation of the song "Phoenix Flying"? Can anyone translate it for me if I'm not good at English?]
[I know! The title of this song means, obviously, "Love the street where you lie down!"]
[Or——I like the road you lay on!]
[Wrong! It’s——I love the street where you pounced!]
[??? Where did this idiot come from? This is clearly the way I love your lies!]
[It means "I love the way you lie" or "I love the way you lie"? ]
[Right! That’s about it. There are still serious people in the live broadcast room.]
……

While countless netizens were discussing the matter, the stage lights gradually dimmed, and finally only a beam of light fell on Feng Shiqi.

As for Bai Xingjian, he disappeared into the darkness and his figure could no longer be seen on the stage.

The audience held their breath, with countless eyes focused on Feng Shiqi, waiting for the melody to sound and Feng Shiqi to open the show.

But what surprised everyone was that before the melody sounded, Feng Shiqi grabbed the microphone on the microphone stand and sang softly:

“On the first page of our story”

(At the beginning of our story)
“The future seemed so bright”

(The future seems so bright)
“Then this thing turned out so evil”

(Slowly everything started to become so evil)
"I don't know why I'm still surprised"

(I still find this surprising for some reason)

As soon as Feng Shiqi opened her mouth, her extremely infectious voice attracted the attention of the entire audience.

Her voice is very soft, but extremely clear and emotional, and the English she sings is very standard and fluent.

Accompanied by sporadic and lonely piano sounds, it was transmitted into the auditory cells of countless audiences.

Just these first four sentences in English made many audience members look stunned.

"Oh my god, Feng Shiqi's English is really standard!"

"Oh my god, the group Phoenix Yufei is simply amazing. Why do they seem to be able to sing songs in any language?"

"It's not enough that she can sing, the most important thing is that she sings so beautifully! Feng Shiqi sang just a few lines and I started to get goose bumps on my arms! She is really amazing!"

"Ahhh, Sister Shiqi, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

Some viewers who couldn't resist the impulse in their hearts have already started discussing in low voices.

“Even angels have their wicked schemes”

(Angels can also have evil plots)
“And you take that to new extremes”

(You brought it to its fullest potential)
"But you'll always be my hero"

(But you will always be my hero)

"Even though you've lost your mind"

(Even if you've lost your mind)
At the front of the stage, Feng Shiqi held the microphone stand and sang with deep emotion and devotion.

The lighting atmosphere of the surrounding environment is quite dim, which fits the emotional tone of entanglement, pain and contradiction expressed in the song.

In this atmosphere, Feng Shiqi's singing gradually puts the audience into a love story full of struggles.

At a certain stage, Feng Shiqi's voice suddenly became high-pitched:

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn"

(Are you going to stand there and watch me burn to ashes?)
"But that's all right because I like the way it hurts"

(But it doesn’t matter because I like this heartache feeling)
"Just gonna stand there and hear me cry"

(Are you just gonna stand there and listen to me cry?)
"But that's all right because I love the way you lie"

“I love the way you lie”

(But it doesn't matter because I love even your lies, I love even your lies)

Feng Shiqi was singing engrossedly on the stage.

In order to sing this song better, Feng Shiqi has already put himself into the song.

It was because of her immersion and self-substitution that the audience also felt the woman's tolerance for love and self-sacrifice from her singing.

Some female viewers have even started to actively sing along after reading the Chinese translation of the lyrics provided by the program team.

Some male viewers, on the other hand, were standing up for Feng Shiqi.

[Yes! Love is always beautiful at the beginning! But as time goes by, both people change, and love seems to have deteriorated and is no longer beautiful]
[My ex-boyfriend's situation is exactly the same as the lyrics sung by Feng Shiqi. Although I like him very much, my instinct for survival forced me to break up with him. I don't know who he is bullying now]
[Don't worry, Shiqi, as long as you date me, I will make you heartbroken! I will never lie to you! I will protect you well!]
[Sisters, listen to my advice, don’t believe what a man says! Especially when you are in bed! And when he takes off his pants! If you believe it, you lose! ]
[…No, what are you guys discussing? Am I the only one wondering when Bai Xingjian will come out to sing? Feng Shiqi has been singing on stage for over a minute.]
[This situation is really similar to the last song they sang, "Beautiful Mythology". Previously, Bai Xingjian sang the first part, and then Feng Shiqi came out with the chorus and stunned everyone. This song is probably the opposite.]
[So how can Bai Xingjian impress everyone later? Sing in Chinese?]
[Maybe this is possible]
[This song is sung in Chinese...why does it feel so unsuitable?]
Just as the audience was discussing when Bai Xingjian would appear, as Feng Shiqi's singing ended, Bai Xingjian's voice sounded seamlessly.

Moreover, the audience hadn't even seen his figure yet, which vividly portrayed the scene of "the voice arrives before the person arrives".

"I can't tell you what it really is"

(I can't tell what this is)
“I can only tell you what it feels like”

(I can only tell you how it feels)
"And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe"

(And now it's like a steel blade in my windpipe)

A beam of light fell on Bai Xingjian, and he was seen walking forward from the back of the stage while holding a microphone and singing English rap.

At the same time, video images of flame effects began to appear on the big screen behind the stage.

Under the light, the flames kept dancing and flickering, just like the passionate emotions in love burning, or the intense conflicts and contradictions in the relationship between two people spreading.

Accompanied by the flickering flames, Bai Xingjian sang as he walked, and the visual and auditory impact was maximized by him at this moment.

Listening to the rhythmic English entrance and watching Bai Xingjian's handsome appearance, many audience members stood up involuntarily and applauded him uncontrollably.

Even the host He Ling, who was standing at the edge of the stage, felt a little numb.

No, Bai Xingjian is singing on the stage, why are you, the audience, standing up and applauding?
The audience was so enthusiastic that it was difficult for He Ling to control the situation at this stage.

So he also gave in and stood up like the audience, applauding Bai Xingjian.

Surprise!

A real surprise!
Bai Xingjian's English rap was surprising and shocking!
He Ling sighed in his heart.
