Cheng Xi's face suddenly turned cold - apart from his own team, the only one who had touched his lyric book recently was Meng Bai, who had made a surprise interview.
Unexpectedly, after so many choices, Meng Bai was still plotting against him.
Cheng Xi briefly explained a few words to Zhao Xiaotao, and Zhao Xiaotao's teeth chattered in anger. But in this case, anger is the most useless emotion, and it can easily cause pressure on Cheng Xi. Zhao Xiaotao suppressed his anger and comforted: "
It doesn’t matter, don’t worry, his adaptation style may not be the same as yours.”
Two minutes later, Zhao Xiaotao was completely speechless.
Zhao Yunqing's arrangement is indeed not a dark style, but has been upgraded by two keys. The chorus has been replaced with high notes, and the difficulty level of the entire song has been immediately raised several levels.
He really showed off his skills, and the audience and judges listened happily.
"Cheng'er..." Zhao Xiaotao looked at Cheng Xi, trying to find another reason to comfort him.
But seeing that his artist seemed to be less decadent than expected, he frowned: "That's not right."
Zhao Xiaotao was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? He made a mistake?"
"There was no mistake," Cheng Xi slowly shook his head, "He sang very accurately and perfectly, but... this is not "Black Mist"."
Zhao Xiaotao still wanted to ask more questions, but then the coordinator came over to hurry up. Cheng Xi didn't say anything. As usual, he handed the phone to Zhao Xiaotao and walked to the curtain.
The moment he met Zhao Yunqing, Zhao Yunqing smiled at him and hurried away. His expression was stiff, and the corners of his eyes were full of traces of time.
In fact, he doesn't want to do this, Cheng Xi thought to himself.
The former prince of love songs was reduced to using petty tricks to plot against the younger generation. He was simply forced to give up his principles under the pressure of life.
The horn sounded again, Cheng Xi took a long breath, held the microphone, and stepped onto the stage.
Seeing his appearance, there was a scream of marmots in the audience. After the prelude started, the screams suddenly turned into gasps——
"Did I hear it correctly? He and Zhao Yunqing chose the same song?"
"Oh my God, there are such coincidences in the world! It seems that Cheng Xi is completely cold. Go back and offer him incense."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you have money to buy a spot, but don't have money to buy the program team to read the playlist in advance?"
"It's terrible, it's terrible. This time I really hit Zhao Yunqing's gun. I can give Zhao Yunqing ninety-five points for his performance just now. Except for a slight lack of emotion, there is nothing wrong with it in other aspects. Hey, Cheng Xi is backstage again
No matter how strong you are, if you are unlucky, just pack your bags and get out."
The discussion in the audience was louder than in every previous round, and Cheng Xi could even vaguely hear words like "miserable", "lose", and "get out".
Although he didn't show it before going on stage, he was indeed affected by the sudden change. Now standing in front of the stage, looking at the faces below that looked either regretful, stunned or gloating, he calmed down uncharacteristically.
As long as he steps on the stage, he is fearless.
Cheng Xi placed his microphone on the microphone stand and sang his first line after an electric guitar solo as he had rehearsed countless times.
The voice is ethereal and distant.
Just one sentence takes the audience back to ancient Europe, to an era full of mystery.
Cheng Xi blinked, with a curious light shining in his eyes, as if he had slipped out of the castle to see the vampire prince in the world. He followed the flow of people to the town and saw bright flowers, pink rouge, and sapphires on the soldiers' hats.
, a lady with loose golden curly hair.
So fresh and vivid.
It's much more fun than the dark and old castle and the old antiques in the castle.
After arguing with his father, he immediately settled in the small town. The children were very curious about the sudden appearance of the handsome boy and often went in groups to peek at him. He was not annoyed and kindly invited the children to play together.
The next day, the children gave him a candy. It was very sweet, but it was a pity that it was not something he could eat.
Because he was handsome and easy to talk to, anyone who needed help would go to him. He cut the grass for uncles, made pies with aunts, and repaired clocks for short girls. Very soon,
He became familiar with the residents of the town.
But the good times didn't last long. Just when he thought he had integrated into the town, the townspeople suddenly died mysteriously one after another. There were two black holes of blood on the necks of the deceased. Soon someone suspected him, saying that he appeared too strange.
He is mysterious and often goes to the wild in the middle of the night.
God knows, in order not to hurt the residents of the town, and in order not to hurt his friends, he always used animals to eat outside when he was hungry.
It was the nastiest thing he had ever eaten.
Doubt is like a seed. As long as it is planted in your heart, it will take root and sprout sooner or later.
On a dark, starry night, the townspeople broke into his house with crosses, garlic and other tools.
Thinking that someone was coming to him for help, he got up in his pajamas and saw a scene of angry people.
He was too young, and the bloodthirsty nature in his body was quickly aroused. His expression gradually became ferocious, and his sharp teeth grew longer and longer uncontrollably.
"Look, I was right, it is indeed him!"
"It's a shame that we trust you so much, you devil in human skin!"
"Let's kill him quickly before he can react. Go ahead!"
"rush!!"
Those who had always smiled at him on weekdays were now full of ferocious looks.
He wanted to say that he had never done it, but before he could say anything, the blade slashed his arm, causing a trace of bright red blood to ooze out.
The blood made him lose his mind, and he knocked away the person who hurt him with his backhand. Just when he was about to attack another person, the frightened cry of a child suddenly came to his ears.
It was the child who once gave him candy.
He immediately put away his sharp teeth and stood there. Hearing that vampires can truly die by being burned by fire, the townspeople lit a victory bonfire, threw the tied man into the fire, and held hands to celebrate the devil's demise.
The fire was so intense that the whole town was shrouded in black smoke. Cheng Xi raised his head——
A twenty-second long, extremely penetrating dolphin sound broke through the black fog and ignited the entire thick night sky!
Just like the last chant in despair, the public judges below were stunned, as were Zhao Xiaotao and the band accompaniment teacher!
Of course, the public judges were surprised because they did not know Cheng Xi was so good at singing. Zhao Xiaotao and the accompanist teacher were surprised because this section was not included in the rehearsal.
The dolphin sound was added on the spot by Cheng Xi!
But it has to be said that in the overall tone of the song, which is dark and depressing, this dolphin sound is like a stroke of genius. It not only takes the audience to understand the story behind the "Black Mist", but also miraculously allows them to understand the story of the vampire prince who never died before his death.
words that can be said.
-I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.
In the processing of the same song, Zhao Yunqing is the "singer" and Cheng Xi is the "interpretation"; Zhao Yunqing is the "singer" and Cheng Xi is the "storyteller".
What the public judges said before was correct. When singing the same song, the quality of the singer will be judged. At the same time, the voting results also proved this truth.
With 130 votes to 370 votes, Cheng Xi won the ticket to compete for the medal with nearly three times the votes.
Until he stepped down, Cheng Xi couldn't believe that he had defeated Zhao Yunqing. Zhao Xiaotao threw away his two hooves and ran over to give him a bear hug: "Cheng'er, you are so awesome! You are really my great hero!"
"Hey, hey, don't touch me," Cheng Xi quickly pushed him away and mouthed, "I have a boyfriend."
Zhao Xiaotao: "...You are quite a good wife and mother."
"What a good wife and mother," Cheng Xi's eyes wandered, "I'm called henpecked."
Zhao Xiaotao: "Oh."
After a while, Zhao Xiaotao came to his senses and said, "No, tell me again, who are you, Tao Shiyan?"
Cheng Xi felt a little guilty: "...Old, my wife."
"It's impossible..." Zhao Xiaotao was 10,000 times more shocked than hearing Cheng Xi sing dolphin music, "He must be 1 like that? How can it be 0? Is there no 1 in the north anymore?"
"Heh," Cheng Xi twitched his lips, "I was the one up there last night."
Zhao Xiaotao's outlook was immediately ruined. He checked over and over again while walking, and bumped into Zhao Yunqing who was about to leave the field.
He didn't even take off his performance clothes, only a coat. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were red. I don't know if he knocked over the dressing table in panic. His body was white and yellow, covered in liquid foundation and various eye shadows.
It looks so embarrassing.
When he saw Cheng Xi, he was just stunned for a moment, then continued to walk his own way with his head lowered.
Zhao Xiaotao finally put aside the topic of 0,1 and couldn't help but sigh: "If we choose songs according to the original plan, Zhao Yunqing really may not lose to you."
The more eager you are for quick success, the harder it is to get good results. Cheng Xi pulled Zhao Xiaotao and signaled him to stop talking.
When he returned to the rehearsal room, Teacher Zhou immediately stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiao Cheng."
Cheng Xi shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you. I was tricked by Meng Bai. The song you chose is very good."
"No, what I want to apologize for is-" Teacher Zhou paused and suddenly smiled, "I shouldn't have asked you to adopt evasive tactics. In fact, based on your performance just now, you may not lose to him if you fight for strength. I preconceptionally thought
You are young, have only been around for a short time, and your skills are definitely not good... I am too self-righteous, you are very powerful, much more powerful than I thought."
When he sang just now, he felt that he was very awesome. Now that he was being praised, Cheng Xi felt embarrassed and coughed twice without saying a word.
After receiving the blessings from other contestants, finishing the final schedule meeting, and walking out of the studio through the back door of Fanshu, Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and caught a trembling snowflake.
This year's Lunar New Year is much earlier than in previous years. In mid-November, it is also the time for snow to fall according to the solar terms. Cheng Xi shrank his neck and only wore a thin sweater, which would be blown through by the wind.
Pulling up the collar of his sweater to cover his face, he breathed hot air into his palms, preparing to rush back with all his strength. The next moment, he fell into a warm embrace.
Tao Shiyan pulled open the lapel of his coat and wrapped him from behind: "I told you to wear more clothes, but you refused to listen."
Tao Shiyan's clothes were very loose, and Cheng Xi was wrapped tightly, leaving only half of his snow-white face exposed. The little face looked around quickly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find the camera, "You're here.
.....It’s not that I didn’t listen, I didn’t bring any thick clothes at all.”
After saying that, he unconsciously leaned against Tao Shiyan. Their skins were close to each other, and the heat was continuously transmitted from one person to the other. Tao Shiyan chuckled: "Why didn't I notice that you were afraid of the cold before?"
The two spent last winter together on the set. At that time, Cheng Xi was not even afraid of the sky falling. However, after falling in love, the more he lived, the more he was afraid of snowflakes.
He is a man from the north!!
How can you be frightened by the snowflakes in the south?!!
Cheng Xi: "...You are the only one who talks a lot, so you can leave quickly."
Under his "scolding", the two of them moved towards the back door of the hotel like conjoined twins.
He didn't notice at all the vicious eyes hidden in the darkness.
