Chapter 986 Can't be the second place? (Two chapters in one)
Ouyang Xiaoqing stood on the trial stand of fate. She was so nervous that she couldn't turn her head away. Her eyes were looking directly at Stan Weber, waiting with anticipation and worry for him to tell him who made the top five.
name.
Ouyang Xiaoqing definitely didn't have time to think at this moment. She didn't know that countless eyes were already focused on her at this moment, and she couldn't count how many domestic audiences were looking forward to her winning the championship.
For example, in Shun Liangwei's live broadcast room, although Shun Liangwei kept saying that it would be no problem to enter the top five with Ouyang Xiaoqing's performance, the barrage was still filled with expressions of hands clasped together in prayer.
Yes, perhaps netizens did not think that Ouyang Xiaoqing could win the championship earlier, but that was just based on their distrust of the American environment. In fact, they themselves would still support Ouyang Xiaoqing. After all, they are Chinese.
Ouyang Xiaoqing went through many obstacles in the United States, and it felt like she saw that the little girl she had trained was promising. Of course, she also hoped that she would get better results.
However, fortunately, Ouyang Xiaoqing did not think about the domestic supporters at this time, otherwise the pressure in her heart might be a little heavier - now she felt suffocated!
"Would losing be a good result for Xiaoqing at this stage?"
At this time, Yang Qian, Chang Xueying, Rich Russ and others stood in front of the TV in the hotel lounge, nervously watching the scene of Ouyang Xiaoqing accepting the verdict of fate.
Because like most viewers in the country, Yang Qian's expectation was that Ouyang Xiaoqing would not win the championship. Therefore, when he watched TV, he did not pray "childishly" like Chang Xueying.
I was thinking about how to comfort Ouyang Xiaoqing after she failed and came back.
Although Ouyang Xiaoqing's music career has just started, she has been going smoothly in the past two years.
On the one hand, it is indeed because of Yang Qian's escort.
With a master around, Ouyang Xiaoqing doesn't need to worry about not having any good songs to sing. What she sings are all good works - for some young singers, any song Ouyang Xiaoqing sings can become a success.
The representative works of their singing careers, even if the company did not have the resources, they could only envy them and would never have the chance to sing them. But these are easily available to Ouyang Xiaoqing.
Ouyang Xiaoqing doesn’t need to worry about being too tired to make announcements. Many newcomers, and even many long-established artists, still have to rush to make announcements in order to become famous, and they don’t even have a few hours of rest in a day. It’s not like Ouyang Xiaoqing has encountered this before.
In this case, the other party tiredly expressed envy to her.
Of course, it's not all Yang Qian's fault. Ouyang Xiaoqing's own talent is also an important factor in her success.
In the past two years, people on the Internet have praised Ouyang Xiaoqing. The most popular one is that Ouyang Xiaoqing is very talented. Her high-pitched ability does not only appear once in a hundred or fifty years, but only once in ten years.
, you can still brag about it after seeing you for twenty years.
Just blowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. Smooth winds and smooth flow can promote temporary miracles, but they cannot truly achieve permanent greatness!
"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
At this moment, Yang Qian thought of a famous figure in history-Su Dongpo!
It seems quite appropriate to use Su Dongpo’s experience to comfort Ouyang Xiaoqing!
There is no doubt that Su Dongpo was also a super genius. At the age of 21, he went to Beijing for the first time to take the exam and passed the high school. Moreover, if Ouyang Xiu, the examiner at the time, had not mistakenly thought that his article was written by his disciple Zeng Gong, in order to avoid suspicion, he changed his title to No. 1.
Two names, otherwise Su Dongpo would be the sure winner!
Ouyang Xiaoqing is not yet 21 years old. If she fails in this competition and fails to win the championship, it does not mean that she is not outstanding.
Look, isn't Su Dongpo just "second"?
However, Yang Qian didn't want to use Su Dongpo as an example because he didn't want his disciples to be like Su Dongpo.
Su Dongpo's fate was full of twists and turns! Although he became famous in the capital at the age of twenty-one, Su Dongpo did not achieve rapid success. After a brief period of success, he began to wander throughout his life!
Su Dongpo suffered countless demotions and exiles - he was imprisoned for the Wutai Poetry Case at the age of 42, and was later demoted to Huangzhou. Finally, at the age of 62, he was exiled to Danzhou on the South China Sea Island, and was amnesty four years later.
He returned to Beijing but died of illness on the way.
But Yang Qian believes that Ouyang Xiaoqing, who is also talented, should learn from Su Dongpo!
Later generations commemorate Su Dongpo, not to commemorate how good his imperial examination results were, nor to commemorate how prominent his official position was - during the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, because of the appreciation of Empress Dowager Gao, Su Dongpo became a Hanlin scholar and became a scholar. This official position
But he is only one step away from the prime minister, a thin line.
Su Dongpo's poems and articles, as well as the optimistic and open-minded spirit shown in these works, are even more memorable.
Despite having a near-perfect start and encountering so many hardships later on, Su Dongpo never complained about others, and he rarely even held grudges against others. Even when he was demoted or exiled, Su Dongpo chose to reconcile with his fate and find his way in a difficult environment.
hapiness.
In the impoverished town of Huangzhou, Su Dongpo became a pastoralist, cultivating ten acres of land in Dongpo, writing poems and paintings, and compared himself to Tao Yuanming.
In Huizhou, a city in Lingnan that he had never known, Su Dongpo was obsessed with the mountains and rivers. As every local household had the habit of making their own wine, he was not only happy to taste wine, but also made his own wine. Although his wine made many old friends who tasted it
Had diarrhea.
In Danzhou, which was almost a wilderness and plagued by miasma, Su Dongpo was also willing to communicate with local scholars, so much so that after he was kicked out of his official residence, the poor scholars spontaneously helped him build a house. Su Dongpo was also willing to communicate with ordinary people
He communicated with the people, even the illiterate peasants, he truly achieved that "there are white people in the society, and there are scholars in the conversation and laughter".
Smooth winds and rivers could not make Su Dongpo such an eternal literary giant. The hardships made him more mature and powerful. His experience in exile also allowed him to create many immortal works - such as "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgic", "Niannujiao"
Works such as "Chibi Ode" and "Night Journey to Chengtian Temple" were written during the Huangzhou period!
So, Ouyang Xiaoqing, your life has just begun. Has this short-term failure defined all your efforts and all your future?
It shouldn't be like this!
"You should go see Su Dongpo"
Yang Qian had already thought of words to comfort his apprentice, and he even couldn't help but say it.
"What? Teacher Yang, what did you say?"
Chang Xueying turned around just in time and heard his mumbling.
"Oh, it's okay. I just think she puts too much pressure on herself. In fact, losing is not terrible."
Yang Qian smiled.
"Lost? You didn't lose. Xiaoqing made it to the top five!"
Chang Xueying was stunned for a moment.
"Promoted?"
Yang Qian was also stunned for a moment, and he raised his head to watch TV.
Ouyang Xiaoqing was no longer visible on the TV screen at this time, and the camera showed the host Stan Weber who was chattering endlessly.
But this does not mean that she has been eliminated. The players who have advanced to the top five and those who have fallen out of the top five will leave the stage, leaving the stage to the players whose results have not been announced yet. When the results of this round are announced,
The top five will still come back and continue the brutal results announcement ceremony.
Ouyang Xiaoqing certainly belongs to the group that advanced.
Stan Weber announced her name just now!
Chang Xueying also turned around excitedly, wanting to cheer with Yang Qian, but she heard him muttering inexplicably.
It seems that Teacher Yang was distracted just now!
But it didn't matter. Chang Xueying didn't care about why Yang Qian was distracted. She was so happy that Ouyang Xiaoqing ranked among the top five.
"Actually, this promotion is expected. How good is Xiaoqing? The songs she sings and the performances she performs are much more exciting than that one!"
Chang Xueying said proudly to Yang Qian.
Although Chang Xueying didn't act very low-key, there was nothing wrong with what she said.
The shows Ouyang Xiaoqing performed these two days are indeed better than the magician! Even if there is no difference in two different dimensions such as singing skills and magic skills, in terms of the creativity of the show, Ouyang Xiaoqing's is still better than the magician.
The judges said that she allowed others to see more surprises and showed her more possibilities to the audience. This was not said casually.
In contrast, the magician's performance actually remains based on his previous style. He still uses magic to tell stories, and there is not enough innovation in content. It feels like old wine in an old bottle, but it still has the same taste!
If Ouyang Xiaoqing can't even defeat him, then that's the real shady story!
However, Chang Xueying was so excited as she spoke that she kept glancing at the TV and did not notice that Yang Qian had a strange expression.
Now that we've reached the top five, why does this plot feel more and more like Su Dongpo?
Will he be like Su Dongpo and finish second in the end?
Regardless of whether the final result will be as Yang Qian imagined, Ouyang Xiaoqing's mood seems a bit complicated now that she is back on the stage.
"Stan, to be honest, I don't think anyone worked harder than them these two nights! Even though someone left us, it just proves how exciting this final was! Of course, respect and congratulations to the former
Everyone on Five, because, God, you know who you beat to get here? I mean, this is incredible! I really admire you guys!”
When Tarinal Savoy said some words of encouragement to them, Ouyang Xiaoqing just smiled at the camera pointed at her.
Going further means getting closer to the championship!
This also made her desire for the championship a little more intense.
How could you not be nervous?
The excitement was short-lived. When Stan Weber regained control of the rhythm of the show, the announcement of the results came to the most cruel time of exiting the show!
Yes, the top five lined up on the stage and Stan Weber called out their names one by one, but this time they were asked to leave!
"The American people have already voted, and the actor ranked fifth in the end is Sweetie Bellamy!"
The name Stan Weber pronounced was not Ouyang Xiaoqing, but a harmony singing group.
At this moment, Ouyang Xiaoqing on the stage and the countless viewers behind the screen breathed a sigh of relief.
Sweetie Bellamy is quite powerful. They are both orthodox Broadway actors and can act and sing. They also performed very well in previous competitions!
Although domestic audiences are not very interested in their programs, this kind of harmony singing has a long history abroad and is widely loved by American audiences. Therefore, Shun Liangwei also listed them as one of the favorites to win the championship.
However, just before, their performances in the past two days were much mediocre, especially today's collaboration with celebrities, which made people feel a little stretched!
Therefore, sweetheart Bellamy's elimination is not an upset.
However, now everyone is looking at the four groups of contestants left on the stage. Two groups are dancing and one group is playing musical instruments. In other words, among the top four, only Ouyang Xiaoqing is the only singer left.
!
While the host, judges and eliminated sweetheart Bellamy were communicating, domestic netizens started communicating crazily on various major platforms.
"Sister Xiaoqing is the only singer left. Oh my god, do Americans look down on singers so much?"
"Don't call Ouyang Xiaoqing next, at least get in the top three, right?"
"It's so exciting! My heart can't stand it!"
"Sister Xiaoqing is so strong, she is in the top four!"
"You are already very good. Regardless of whether you have a championship or not, you have created history!"
"I'm really looking forward to seeing the story of Xiaoqing's counterattack to the top spot!"
"By the way, sister Xiaoqing's red hair looks very strange."
"Come on, we support you!"
Everyone has seen this, and the result is about to be revealed. Of course, no one is willing to leave.
The same goes for Jiang Shenrui. He and his girlfriend watched in the canteen for a long time. From dawn to dark, not many people saw that the canteen was completely bustling with students coming and going.
"Wait a little longer, five minutes, ten minutes or so, and you should be able to get the results!"
Jiang Shenrui looked at Zhou Dongdong apologetically, and then looked at the students around him who were giving them strange looks.
"Don't worry, go after watching it."
Zhou Dongdong patted his leg.
I was a little anxious because the library was almost open. If I went later, the good seats would probably be occupied by students reviewing for postgraduate entrance exams - such as a quieter corner or a separate table where the couple sat facing each other.
chair.
But after seeing everything, how can I leave now?
Zhou Dongdong was also a little curious and wanted to see what kind of results Ouyang Xiaoqing could get!
"Agarwal."
It’s really not Ouyang Xiaoqing!
The fourth person eliminated was Agarwal, a group of male dancers. Their dance choreography was very exciting. It was either a plot about the western army in the Middle Ages or a Spartan warrior plot. The muscles, the power, and the dance postures.
, always gives people a stimulating feeling of overflowing hormones!
"Curtis"
The third place is not Ouyang Xiaoqing!
The one who was eliminated was a female contestant who played the harp. Her elf-like face always made the show feel like a myth.
Her program today was actually quite well-organized, and she performed a touching performance of Shakespeare's drama with celebrity guests!
Shun Liangwei just commented that she is also very exciting and may not have the possibility of winning the championship.
However, compared with Ouyang Xiaoqing and the last remaining female dancer Catherine, she is still a little behind.
Yes, now Ouyang Xiaoqing has really entered the top two!
