Chapter 332: I dare not forget my country despite my humble position
Before participating in the recording of the latest episode of "The Masked Singer," most people would never have thought that Yu Feifei would be able to get a new Chinese-style song from Xu Ji this time.
Not only Xiong Lu, the media judges and the audience, but also other contestants and some program staff did not know.
But when Xu Ji's name appeared on the big screen, many people didn't think much about it other than surprise and surprise.
But after Yu Feifei stepped down, everyone realized that the debate that everyone had been arguing about, who was stronger and who was weaker, Xu Ji and the Faceless Man, was finally coming to an end.
"After all, it's the Chinese style that Xu Ji is good at. In fact, it's normal for the Faceless Man to lose."
"Haha, why is it that the Faceless Man is normal when he loses, but Xu Ji falls off the altar when he loses?"
"The Faceless Man performs the singing in person, unlike Xu Ji, who is just a songwriter."
When Xiong Lu heard the discussion around him, he felt like he was one head and two heads above the head.
Is it necessary?
You are all media judges! Why are you starting to argue?
Moreover, is it impossible that Xu Ji is actually a faceless man?
And at this moment, the faceless man, who was the last one to appear, walked onto the stage.
The scene suddenly became completely quiet.
There have been many Chinese-style new songs in the past, and the other singers have performed very well. If the performance of the Faceless Man is not particularly outstanding this time, it is probably not going to get high votes.
It’s really stressful.
However, the mask of the Faceless Man is very interesting. It always makes people feel that he has an aura of calmness on stage.
The lights at the scene dimmed after the Faceless Man took the stage, and at the same time the prelude of the song sounded.
What is different from previous contestants is that this time the big screen on the backstage shows not only simple song information, but also animated v.
The looming war scene emerges.
The sounds of gunfire, explosions, the cries of women and children, and the wails of the people were mixed together.
That is a history of humiliation that the Chinese nation cannot forget.
The screen suddenly went black, and the name of the song appeared on the screen in calligraphy.
""Chi Ling"
"Lyrics: Faceless Man"
"Composer: Faceless Man"
"Singing: Faceless Man"
"Damn it, faceless people don't respect martial ethics!"
Seeing such a beautiful animated v, some people couldn't help but exclaim.
Xiong Lu also didn’t expect that the Faceless Man would even make a v for the song specifically for this competition?
The faceless man on the stage, Xu Ji, seemed very calm.
This time "Aki Ling V" is actually a work of Sakura Animation that was acquired previously.
It has to be said that the animation company that Youman bought is indeed of high quality. Even though the project was a bit rushed, it was still produced with a high level of quality.
Just when everyone's attention was still on the animated v, the faceless man spoke.
"When the play breaks, the sleeves rise and fall"
"Singing joys and sorrows, singing separation and separation, has nothing to do with me"
At this time, a scene in the theater appeared in the animation. An opera singer appeared on the square-inch stage. He was the "corner" of the theater. His sleeves were soft and graceful, and he had a graceful Kunqu opera. Next to him, there were shouts from the audience.
Cheers.
Xiong Lu had already realized why the Faceless Man would specially create such a song v.
When he sang this song, he planned to tell everyone the story in the song.
This is indeed a very good approach. Of course, you must have enough money and energy, otherwise it will be risky. After all, this is a variety show and will not give too much preparation time.
The faceless man continues to sing.
"Has a habit of blending all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy into the ink"
"It doesn't matter if the lyrics are sung, they are all my bones and ashes"
The war spread to the small county where the theater was located. The generals of the island country heard about the existence of the theater, so they found them and asked them to perform a solo performance to comfort all the island soldiers, and demanded that "Jiao'er" must appear, otherwise he would be killed.
Burning and killing in the county town.
The "corner" of the theater did not refuse, but sat in front of the dressing table and drew her eyebrows seriously.
At night, there was deathly silence in the small county town, but the theater was brightly lit. The invaders sat under the stage, drinking wine and eating meat, and were quite happy.
The gongs and drums sounded, and the play began.
"Duckweed endures to watch the beacon fire burning mountains and rivers in troubled times"
"In my humble position, I dare not forget about my country, even if no one knows me"
When the faceless man's song came, especially when he saw the line "I dare not forget my country even if I am humble", Xiong Lu had already guessed the plot of the next story.
Everyone at the scene was completely immersed in this story and the song "Chi Ling" by the Faceless Man.
The animation on the screen continues.
What was being sung on the stage was that love arises without knowing it, and goes deeper and deeper. There were jackals, tigers and leopards sitting under the stage, and evil spirits were in control. As the drums beat urgently, the singing became more sad and angry, and the wolves in the audience seemed to be stunned.
At this moment, the "corner" on the stage shouted "Light the fire."
After the previous foreshadowing, the emotion at this time has reached its highest point.
There is a drama that makes people's skin crawl instantly.
"People in the audience can't see the old color when they walk by"
"The people on the stage are singing, a heartbreaking farewell song"
Until the enemy realized that the fire had spread, they tried to escape but found that the door had been blocked tightly, and the entire theater had been splashed with oil without their knowledge.
At this time, the "Jiao'er" on the stage was still singing selflessly.
"The word love is hard to write down, her singing must be reconciled with blood"
"The curtain rises and the curtain falls, who is the guest?"
"Ah..."
Before the Faceless Man started singing, many people actually had no idea what kind of Chinese-style song the Faceless Man would sing.
But when the song "Chi Ling" came out, everyone was shocked.
"The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is sentimental, how to think about it"
"The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is sentimental, it takes a lot of thinking"
The fire in the theater was getting bigger and bigger, and in the midst of the fire, the faceless man's singing and the v-animation of the song came to an end.
I don't dare to worry about my country despite my humble position. All actors are ruthless. How could I know that actors also have intentions?
At this time, many people present had wet eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Including Xiong Lu.
Although she can easily empathize with songs, she is a person who can control her emotions very well.
But when I read "The Story of Chi Ling" and the sentence "I dare not forget about my country despite my humble status, even if no one knows me", I couldn't help but shed tears.
As for the fact that I had been thinking about observing carefully before, whether the faceless man was a trace, it had long been forgotten at this time.
After the Faceless Man's performance on the stage ended, the scene fell into a rare silence.
It wasn't until more than ten seconds passed that violent applause rang out in the quiet recording venue, and then got louder and louder.
"The singer's faceless man's final vote was"
"97 votes!"
During the voting stage, as the host announced the number of votes, everyone at the scene was stunned.
It actually has the same number of votes as Yu Feifei before?
This is indeed a rare situation.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s understandable.
After all, both songs are excellent, and if nothing else, they both received high votes.
It is not impossible to have the same number of votes.
Of course, this song "Chi Ling" has more advantages in terms of the animation in the v and the atmosphere of the song itself.
If this song was sung before, maybe the result would be a little different.
But the interval between the performances of the two songs was indeed a bit long, which ultimately led to this situation.
Xiong Lu finally reacted at this time and began to consider the possibility that the faceless man was Xu Ji.
But soon I began to doubt myself.
Are the Faceless Man and Xu Ji really two people?
Mainly because although the two songs on this program are both Chinese-style, their styles are obviously very different.
It doesn’t look like it was written by one person at all.
The Faceless Man's "Chi Ling" is definitely the Chinese style song that impressed her the most, besides Xu Ji.
Whether it’s lyrics, composition, or concept, it’s all reached a very high level.
If the faceless man is not Xu Ji, then the other person’s accomplishments in Chinese style, apart from a smaller number of songs, are really no worse than Xu Ji!
In the end, due to the same number of votes, "The Masked Singer" had two first places in one issue for the first time.
However, since Jiang Nian has already withdrawn on his own initiative, there is no need to go through the unveiling process.
Instead, it was changed to a session where the Faceless Man and Miss Rabbit decide the order of appearance in the next period.
The worst one is Wu Xiaomin.
Although he was not eliminated this time, it was actually much more uncomfortable than if he was actually eliminated.
His votes were the lowest among all, and his performance was very embarrassing.
When the show airs, it is destined to be another round of ridicule.
And his identity is no longer a secret.
As for Jiang Nian, although he was eliminated, he still maintained his demeanor as a singer.
For example, another diva who participated in the competition before left the show, but strictly speaking she was not eliminated, but she quit on her own initiative.
Not only was he beaten by the faceless man, but he was also beaten by Xu Ji, whom he regarded as his opponent.
In addition, even the performance of other contestants on the show was much better than him.
He felt that as a gamer who came out of a novice village for trainees, he thought he was invincible, but was repeatedly taught how to behave.
You can't even defeat the mobs. In his opinion, except for Xu Ji and the Faceless Man, all the others in this show are mobs.
After the program was finished, directors Mo Jianwen and Wang Jiangyu were extremely happy.
The effect of this program is simply explosive.
The head-on confrontation between Xu Ji and the faceless man.
A bunch of high-quality Chinese-style songs.
There is also Wu Xiaomin who made mistakes and acted as a clown for the audience to laugh at.
There was also the chance that two first place winners came out with the same vote.
This is a development that cannot even be written in a script.
"I'm starting to look forward to it."
Mo Jianwen said.
After hearing this, Wang Jiangyu asked with interest: "What are you looking forward to?"
"When the faceless man is revealed, what will be the reaction of the audience who have been arguing for so long when they see the faceless man is Xu Ji?"
After hearing Mo Jianwen's words, Wang Jiangyu also smiled.
I have to say that this time Xu Ji wrote two songs with such a huge difference in style on the show, and the lyrics and music still used two names.
It is basically impossible for anyone to continue to regard the Faceless Man as Xu Ji.
Even those people on the Internet who have never changed their minds are probably going to be shaken.
Mo Jianwen and Wang Jiangyu thought the same thing.
At this time, Xiong Lu, who was returning to the car, had already fallen into serious self-doubt.
You must know that even when many people thought she was over-guessing, she always believed in her own ideas.
But now she found that there was no basis to support her guess.
Something's wrong, if both are from Xu Ji, then why are the two Chinese-style songs so different in style?
Yu Feifei's "Lanting Preface" seems to be Xu Ji's previous songwriting style.
But "Chi Ling" is more like the faceless man who was inspired to write it after he really knew the theme of the show.
Although she didn't pay special attention, she was basically certain that the previous animated v had no other subtitles except song information and lyrics.
Even the possibility of inferring based on v's production company has been eliminated.
Of course, these are all done deliberately by Xu Ji.
For example, letting Yu Feifei sing the song "Lanting Preface" and singing "Chi Ling" by myself was also due to the consideration of hiding one's identity.
In addition, Xu Ji asked people from the company to remove information about the production staff of Sakura Animation.
I have to say that he himself finds it interesting to watch those people on the Internet arguing about Xu Ji and the Faceless Man.
Such bad taste made Xu Ji even think about whether to quit the competition midway and then never reveal the identity of the faceless man, allowing everyone to keep guessing.
Of course, this is naturally impossible.
Let’s not talk about whether the program team, Mo Jianwen, and others agree. If they really do this, many netizens on the Internet will probably go crazy.
It is possible to do something outrageous.
Xu Ji was always cautious when leaving the recording scene.
Mainly because now I really don’t know if someone will specifically target him and then decrypt his identity or something.
Obviously, Xu Ji's worries are useful.
As soon as he got in the car, Mo Jianwen sent a message saying that he saw someone following him and asked him to be careful.
Xu Ji didn't know if he was photographed, but the assistant bodyguards around him were different people every time.
It’s not that easy to find clues through this.
"Teacher Xu Ji!"
Xu Jicai returned to the hotel and met Yu Feifei.
I kept thanking Xu Ji since I came up, but Xu Ji was still a little overwhelmed.
Yu Feifei is indeed very excited. After all, today's stage is the most satisfying stage for her since her debut.
Whether it’s the song Xu Ji wrote for her or her own live performance.
If it weren't for the need to keep Xu Ji's identity secret at that time, she might have gone to thank him in person.
"It doesn't have to be like this."
"And you have to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala next."
"I will continue to help you with guidance when the time comes."
Xu Ji's words made Yu Feifei react, but she regretted it a little.
After all, although it feels great to have the audience immersed in your performance, Xu Ji's special training is indeed too strict.
She is not Sha Yetong, but Xu Ji always uses Sha Yetong's talent to ask for her.
Words like "It's not that difficult, I taught Tongtong before and she learned it in one go!"
While she was being hit, she still felt like Xu Ji was showing her off to her girlfriend.
