The soothing and slightly sad piano sound sounded, breaking the silence of the scene.
After ten seconds, the prelude ends.
A small number of lights on the stage were turned on so that the audience could clearly see the two people on the stage.
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds."
"Hide from the crowd, spread like the scales of the sea."
The moment Chu Qingqiu spoke, a beam of chasing light hit her, dispersing the darkness around her. In contrast, Tan Miao, who was wearing a black suit, was still in the darkness, and the dim lights around her seemed like a deep
seabed.
Standing in the bright chasing light, Chu Qingqiu, dressed in a fiery red dress, sang softly:
"The waves wet your white skirt and try to push you back."
"The waves sing a lullaby, hoping to warm you."
"Listen to the depths of the sea, whose cry is guiding you."
"The soul sinks into silence, and no one wakes you up."
At this point, Chu Qingqiu put down the microphone, and the spotlight on her disappeared.
Behind her, Tan Miao put the microphone to her mouth and spoke in a low voice:
"You like the salty smell of the sea breeze and stepping on the wet gravel."
"You said that people should go back to the sea."
"You asked me where I would go when I miss you."
"Does anyone love you?"
"Can the world no longer exist?"
At this point, the music stopped abruptly.
Logically speaking, even though he is only a guest singer, his treatment on stage should be the same as Chu Qingqiu's.
But after the chasing light on Chu Qingqiu disappeared, it did not transfer to him.
While he was singing in a low voice, it was still dark around him, and the only light was from the light shining elsewhere and reflecting on him.
The environment around him, like his singing, was low and dark, with no "sunlight" in sight.
"Dongdong~"
The piano sounded again.
Chu Qingqiu came to him at some point, raised the microphone, and the light hit her again.
"Always smiles at cool people."
"People on the shore have nothing to do with their faces."
"The world is fleeting."
"Everything turns to smoke."
There was still no light on Tan Miao's body, but because Chu Qingqiu was standing beside her, the chasing light not only illuminated her, but also made his whole body light up.
Wearing a red dress, she was like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the darkness and making his "world" bright.
Fang Qin said in surprise: "This group also specially designed stage effects?"
In the previous groups, both the singers and the supporting singers just stood there and sang quietly, unlike their group, where the moves and lighting were designed.
Shi Yue shook his head and sighed: "This group is really serious."
At the same time, she also sighed secretly in her heart.
My path to promotion is becoming increasingly unclear.
Standing next to "Sunshine", Tan Miao raised the microphone again. This time, his voice was no longer deep:
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds."
"Looking at the crowd, our lonely hearts sometimes feel like the bottom of the sea."
"Sadness cannot be felt through a few words."
"Tears have no sound, but I want to hold you tight."
"..."
After a long and rhythmic rap, Tan Miao had exchanged positions with Chu Qingqiu. The spotlight on Chu Qingqiu had disappeared, and the surroundings of the two of them were no longer "black and white."
The stage lights are getting brighter and brighter. Compared with the opening scene, the darkness around Tan Miao is almost invisible.
Chu Qingqiu sang again:
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds, avoided the crowd, and slipped into the seabed."
"There is light looking for you, it wants to warm you."
"It says you listen, listen, someone calls you back."
In the last sentence, her voice was sad and full of tears, as if she was advising those who were in the dark seabed that there is still light in the world and there are people waiting for you on the shore.
The chasing light turned on again, but this time it no longer only shined on Chu Qingqiu, but also included Tan Miao.
Tan Miao's world finally saw "sunshine" for the first time.
The whole place lit up.
At the end of "Under the Sea", Tan Miao, who had escaped from the "undersea sea", bathed in the bright sunshine with Chu Qingqiu, who brought him sunshine, with a bright smile on his face and sang in chorus:
"It's too late, it's too late, you laughed and cried."
"It's too late, it's too late, but I still want to sing it to you."
"It rains in spring and cicadas chirp in summer. Tomorrow will be a good day."
"The autumn wind blows the snowflakes lightly, and the four seasons cannot be seen under the sea."
The song ends.
There was silence for a moment, followed by a wave of continuous applause.
Some viewers wiped away the tears from their eyes and tried their best to give their applause to the two people on the stage.
This song "Under the Sea" sounds sad at first, but later on, it gives people more and more courage to move forward.
Especially the description of the four seasons in the human world in the last two sentences directly kicks people out of their previous "mourning" state.
You can't see the four seasons at the bottom of the sea, but you can in the human world. Don't keep thinking about what is there and what is not. Let me appreciate the beauty of this world, you bastard!
This song "Under the Sea" is a song written for patients with depression.
On Earth, "Under the Sea" has the original version of Durian and the Phoenix Legend version, and what Zhou Ziwu provided to Chu Dahu was the Phoenix Legend version.
It’s not that the original version is bad, both are very good songs, but compared to the original version, the latter is more positive and uplifting.
If the original version is full of disgust for the world, then the Phoenix Legend version is: the world kisses me with pain, and I respond with songs.
Even if hope is just a ray of light coming through the cracks, we must try our best to catch it, because tomorrow will be a good day.
"Thank you to teachers Chu Qingqiu and Tan Miao for moving us. Let us applaud them again for their wonderful singing."
Zhou Ziwu walked out from the backstage and asked the two of them to step off the stage to rest.
The audience cooperated and applauded again.
"The next person to appear is our last competing singer in the first round."
Waiting passage.
Zhang Yang looked at his guest singer, who was also his best friend, and said, "It's our turn."
Seeing his sad face, his best friend said: "Isn't it just elimination? We have already achieved enough to get to this point. What are we afraid of? Just go ahead and do it!"
Zhang Yang: "Do it!"
…
Half past nine in the evening.
Zhou Ziwu stood on the stage again.
"Dear viewers at the scene and in front of the TV, all seven competing singers tonight have finished singing. Next, comes the voting session."
"Except Fang Qin and Chen Chen, who decided the winner in the surprise battle, the remaining five singers will select the top three and advance to our second round of solo singing competition."
Backstage singers lounge.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Except for the early morning, no one here can guarantee that they will advance.
There was really no one who was weak among everyone who used all their skills tonight. Even Shi Yue, who had been firmly in the top three before, and Xiong Yun, who had invited "a group" to help the guest singers, felt unsure.
