Zhou He sang the entire song, and the melody at the end was not over yet. The cheers and applause at the scene were like nothing he had ever experienced before.
He knew that he had made the right bet, and regretted his caution in the last game.
If he had competed in the last competition with the song "Love Is Unavoidable" given by Wen Zheng, he would never have been in eighth place!
At this time, the barrage area was also hotly debated.
"Didn't I say that Zhou He, if you sang like this earlier, would you still be ranked at the bottom?"
"In comparison, Lin Qi is still the same. Shang Yingying is transparent. She knows that hugging thighs is not a violation, so she can hug Wen Zheng's thighs."
"No matter how good the song is, doesn't it still depend on the level of singing? Forgot that Shang Yingying used Wen Zheng's song in the first performance, but ended up at the bottom?"
"Let's talk about it, can Wen Zheng come? If not, I'll turn it off and go to sleep."
"That's right. Let the program team give you an accurate answer. We can't watch the commercials in vain, right?"
…
on site.
Judge No. 5 was still the first to speak: "First of all, let's talk about the song itself. There is no doubt that this is a classic piece. As I said before, Wen Zheng has never disappointed anyone."
At this time, the audience also saw some patterns. Any song that Judge No. 5 can comment on first is a classic.
He paused and then said: "This song has a pop melody, but it doesn't have an exquisite folk emphasis. Overall, the work is well blended. As for your singing, I think Wen Zheng must understand you."
Otherwise, he would not have been able to give you a song that suits you so well. So, my score is ninety-eight points. Thank you for the surprise you brought us in the last performance."
In the next few minutes, the other four judges all praised Zhou He's wonderful performance, and then gave scores of ninety-five, ninety-seven, one hundred, and ninety-seven respectively.
After removing the highest and lowest scores and taking the average, Zhou He's final score was 97.33 points, temporarily ranking second in this competition.
From 85 points in the first game to 90 points in the second game, Zhou He was always at the bottom, until today he scored 97:33.
During this period, only one song by Wen Zheng was missing.
Not to mention Liu Jingyue's sudden outburst, Zhou He didn't even dare to think about his score before the game. When he learned that he could score more than ninety-seven points, his intestines were filled with regret.
Why should I be so careful?
Backstage.
Chen Rui is getting ready to go on stage.
The staff found Lin Qi and reminded her that it was time to go to the front and prepare to play.
Lin Qi looked confused and said in surprise: "This is only the fifth person. I'm still early. I am the eighth person to appear."
Shang Yingying was stunned when she heard this.
She asked confusedly: "Isn't it my eighth appearance? Xiaoxue, who is the eighth appearance between me and Lin Qi? Do you still remember?"
The staff was a little speechless, thinking that since these celebrities don't have high academic qualifications, they wouldn't be able to distinguish the numbers, right?
Ye Xiaoxue also thought about it first, and then told Lin Qi with certainty: "You should be sixth. You said it wrong before, and I didn't pay attention to it."
Judging from the order of the draw, Lin Qi was indeed the sixth one to appear, but it is self-evident why she said it wrong before, and Ye Xiaoxue and others did not notice it.
After Lin Qi accepted the fact, she looked at Ye Xiaoxue and said, "Then I... went?"
She was still a little worried that Wen Zheng wouldn't be able to come.
But she was also prepared. Even if Zhao Qiuxing lied to her, she would never participate in the final awards ceremony.
"Yeah. Come on! Behave well."
Ye Xiaoxue said with a smile, but there was still half a sentence left unsaid in her heart, that is, the worst-case scenario is that after confirming that Wen Zheng cannot come, he just refuses to accept the award.
She was quite suspicious of Zhao Qiuxing's words. The reason why she didn't ask further at that time was because of the overall situation and she didn't want to make things too difficult for Zhao Qiuxing.
But if Wen Zheng really couldn't come, then she would have no choice but to protest silently.
On this point, Ye Xiaoxue and Lin Qi coincided with each other.
After Lin Qi left, Shang Yingying asked worriedly: "You said Wen Zheng can really come? I always think Mr. Zhao's words are a bit ridiculous."
Ye Xiaoxue sighed: "No matter what, you should do your own thing well. Even if it is the worst ending, at least let Wen Zheng's lyrics and music show his face again? At least this is what he wants."
While talking, Chen Rui had already walked onto the stage.
Like Zhou He, he also talked a lot today.
"I brought you a song "Did Someone Tell You" today. You can guess who this song is from. That's right! It's Wen Zheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar both in the live broadcast room and on site.
"Aren't Yueyin Records and Feifei Entertainment rivals? How can Wen Zheng write a song for Chen Rui of Feifan Entertainment? Are you not afraid of Chen Rui overtaking in a corner?"
"What do you know? This is called confidence!"
"No matter how strong Chen Rui is, this is already his third game. Even if he scores full points, can Wen Zheng still fall out of the top three? The total points are a sure win."
"Even so, I am convinced that Wen Zheng can write songs for Chen Rui."
"Including Lin Qi, Shang Yingying, and Wen Zheng have already written songs for four people. There are only nine people participating in the competition. Is this Wen Zheng's advance experience of working behind the scenes?"
"Damn! Others are still worried about one song. Wen Zheng took the entries of four people with a wave of his hand. He is awesome! Who else is there?!"
"I said that judging from the speed and level of creation, Wen Zheng is not a carbon-based creature. Is that okay with you?"
"Ah, yes, yes."
…
on site.
Chen Rui continued: "Wen Zheng is about to retire from the music scene. No matter what, I have to express my respect for him. It is a pity that he will withdraw from the music industry like this, but I know that some things cannot be changed..."
When these words came out, the barrage area was directly detonated.
"Quit? Quit the music scene? Did I hear you correctly? When did Wen Zheng quit the music industry? Chen Rui, please stop talking nonsense."
"I don't think it's nonsense. They are all in the same circle and they definitely know more inside information than us."
"Why did Wen Zheng quit the music scene? Then we won't even see his lyrics and music anymore?"
“Isn’t making movies more profitable than singing?”
"I'll go, this news is so exciting. Wen Zheng chose to quit the music industry in order to make a movie! Is the talented singer-songwriter ruining his career?"
…
In less than half an hour, the news that Wen Zheng had chosen to quit the music industry in order to make a movie quickly occupied the hot searches on all major platforms. With the help of Liang Long and Gao Fushun, overnight it seemed as if this matter had been said by Wen Zheng himself.
.
on site.
Chen Rui "remembered" Wen Zheng for a moment, then sat in front of the microphone stand with his guitar in his arms and began to make final inspections.
The scene was silent.
After Chen Rui gently plucked two notes with his hand, he began to sing affectionately:
"When the train enters this strange city,
It was neon that I had never seen before.
When I opened the letter you sent me, I suddenly felt extremely missed.
A winter without snow, a city that never sleeps,
I heard some cheering and some crying.
I have long been accustomed to traveling through the dark night full of temptations, but I can’t forget your face.”
As soon as Chen Rui's singing came out, the barrage area was instantly attracted by the charm of the song, and everyone was temporarily freed from the shock that Wen was about to withdraw from the circle.
"Damn it! Wen Zheng hasn't shown up yet. Why do I feel like he has become a god?"
"This word is written so delicately."
"Leaving one's homeland may be a word that wanderers and prodigal sons dare not touch easily."
"My brother has already dominated the whole place before he even came out, hahaha!"
"Don't be obsessed with me. I'm just a legend. These words come from Wen Zheng."
"Maybe your brother has withdrawn from the circle, ugh..."
…
on the stage.
Chen Rui was also affected by the delicate lyrics. Even though he had practiced this song dozens of times, every time he sang it, it inevitably reminded him of the early days of pursuing his dream.
"Has anyone ever told you that I love you very much?
Has anyone ever cried in your diary;
Has anyone ever told you that I care,
Mind the distance of this city..."
Chen Rui's singing voice is melancholic and affectionate, and he interprets the simple and smooth lyrics and music vividly, allowing the audience to understand the pain and love of a wandering person at once.
Every time "Did anyone ever tell you" is sung, people feel the loneliness and helplessness of a wandering person, and even the inner torment and struggle.
Especially the sentence "I care about the distance of this city" deeply touched many people.
In a strange city, I don’t know how many times I have felt that I am out of tune with this neon city, as if I will never be accepted by it, or because I am angry, I will never truly accept it.
Maybe it was out of feeling that I was insignificant to this city, or maybe it was out of my secret annoyance that I had abandoned my dream, so even the city I was most familiar with in my mind began to deliberately distance myself from it.
, when I looked back with empty hands, I saw behind me a series of footsteps that were getting further and further away from my dream.
The song ends.
Judge No. 3 couldn't help but said first: "Wen Zheng's lyrics and music can always stir up people's hearts intentionally or unintentionally. For this lyrics and music, I give full marks! Of course, your singing is also excellent, I can see it and hear it.
, you are also a musician with a story."
Chen Rui said with emotion: "Back then, I was a bar singer, and sometimes I had to go to several places in a night..."
When he finished telling his story, he then sighed: "I don't understand why Wen Zheng was able to write what I wanted to say about this past event but couldn't. Maybe this is the power of Wen Zheng's lyrics and music.
"
Judge No. 5 closed the coffin and concluded: "There is no doubt about Wen Zheng's talent. His efforts are just invisible to us. As for his achievements, it is self-evident. He has not appeared today, and we have been discussing it almost all the time.
He. If he really withdraws from the industry, I think it will be a loss to the music scene in Long Country."
He sighed softly, calmed down his emotions slightly, and continued: "Your performance today is perfect, but I can only give you ninety-nine points. If you wrote this song, then I will make up for this point. You
Do you agree with me?"
"I respect Wen Zheng very much."
Chen Rui said in a deep voice, "I also hope that Wen Zheng will not quit the music scene by moving behind the scenes, so I agree with your point of view."
At the same time, Liang Long and Gao Fushun in front of the screen were very satisfied with Chen Rui's speech, so they immediately started spreading rumors on the Internet, using Chen Rui's words to exaggerate Wen Zheng's withdrawal from the music industry.
As for whether the lie will eventually be exposed?
Liang Long and Gao Fushun didn't care. Anyway, it was enough for Wen Zheng to leave a record in the hearts of his fans.
After all, with Wen Zheng's current influence, trying to overthrow him at once is tantamount to wishful thinking. We can only subtly change his perfect personality.
In the end, Chen Rui scored 99 points and temporarily ranked first in this game.
A commercial ended and Lin Qi suddenly appeared on the stage.
She said bluntly: "I don't know whether Wen Zheng will quit the music industry, but I'm sure Wen Zheng will not quit the music scene! I hope Chen Rui won't talk nonsense, let alone start rumors."
"In addition, I still don't know if Wen Zheng can come today, but what I want to say is that if Wen Zheng is determined not to participate, the program team still has to decide the final ranking based on points, then I refuse to participate in the final
The awards ceremony!”
Zhao Qiuxing was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
