Kitchen in Room 201, Building 7, Dongping Community, Binhai City, East Zhejiang Province.
Fang Yun put the freshly washed dishes and chopsticks into the cabinet.
"Mom, come quickly!"
From the small living room outside, Lu Xue's crisp call came: "Brother, the game is about to begin!"
"knew!"
Fang Yun agreed, wiped her wet hands on her apron twice, and hurried out.
She sat down next to Lu Xue and was stunned when she saw the picture on the TV. She said angrily: "Where is your brother? The current news is still on! You kid, you know how to lie to your mother!"
Lu Xue hugged Fang Yun's arm with a smile, rested his head on her shoulder, and said: "If you don't come over, you must be busy again, so I will trick you into taking a rest first. It will be my turn soon."
It’s a show.”
"Let me clean the house tomorrow!"
Fang Yun shook her head helplessly, but her eyes showed doting.
His eyes were still locked on the screen.
…
7:15.
Two thousand kilometers away in the capital, dormitory 305, Building 7, of the female dormitory of Capital Normal University.
Ye Zitong sat alone on the bedside, put on headphones and turned on the computer.
For a few days, all her roommates went out to play, but she did not feel lonely at all. Instead, she felt a sense of satisfaction that she had the whole world to herself. She skillfully opened a website in her browser favorites by sliding her fingers.
The webpage shows that the live broadcast of Beijing Satellite TV's "Singing China" with 32 people advancing to the top 16 has entered the countdown stage.
Staring at the constantly jumping numbers, Ye Zitong's heart suddenly started beating violently!
Without even realizing it, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.
As beautiful as peaches and plums.
…
7:20.
Houhai, Wangyoucao Bar.
Today is the first night of the weekend, and even though it's not prime time yet, the bar is already packed.
The strange thing is that there are no singers singing on the stage, and even the music is turned off.
What is displayed on the large LED screen is a news screen from a TV station, and the logo in the upper left corner belongs to Beijing Satellite TV.
Such a scene would never happen in normal times - who would go to the bar to watch the news?
After a while, Chen Jianhao walked onto the stage holding a microphone.
He said with a smile: "I believe everyone already knows. Tonight is the day when Lu Chen, the former resident singer of our Wangyoucao Bar, will participate in the Beijing Satellite TV Singing China 32 to advance to the top 16 competition."
"We are here to watch the live broadcast and cheer for Lu Chen. We are all his relatives and friends!"
“All alcohol consumption in the evening is 20% off!”
Applause, laughter, whistles, and cheers suddenly filled the bar.
Many old customers raised their wine glasses to thank Chen Jianhao and at the same time cheered for Lu Chen.
Don't let everyone down!
…
7:25.
Lantian Creative Park, Room 1905, Building A8, Lu Chen Studio.
The undecorated studio was in a mess. Office desks and chairs were scattered everywhere, large and small cardboard boxes were stacked in the corners, and the air was filled with the unique smell of latex paint.
In the webcast studio, Li Feiyu sat energetically on a brand-new chair. He was wearing big headphones, facing the same brand-new computer, camera and microphone, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, there are still five minutes.
The live broadcast starts in five minutes!”
"Put on the music, everyone get excited. Follow me..."
"Let's cheer for Lu Fei!"
"come on!"
Countless barrages flashed across the screen, as well as fish balls falling like raindrops.
Aircraft carriers sailed majestically one after another!
…
7:27.
Beijing Satellite TV studio hall, backstage waiting area.
Lu Chen holds his beloved guitar in his arms and is waiting to play.
The host's impassioned voice came from outside.
Tonight's "Singing China" Beijing Singing District 32 to advance to the top 16 competition, due to the addition of voting sessions for on-site and off-site audiences, the delay time was changed from 60 minutes to 5 minutes. It is considered a real live broadcast!
Lu Chen was ranked first, numbered 001.
There are 31 players behind him, all of whom are strong opponents who have stood out from thousands of competitors.
And tonight half of the people will be eliminated and bid farewell to this stage.
Lu Chen knew that in front of the TV and computer, many people who knew or did not know him were about to see his performance, including his relatives and friends.
But he didn't feel nervous at all, he was as calm as if he was going to an afternoon tea date with a friend.
"Now, I would like to invite Lu Chen, the top 32 player in the Beijing singing area, No. 001, to come on stage!"
Warm applause suddenly sounded, like a summer storm, sweeping through the large studio in an instant.
It hit Lu Chen's eardrums.
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly became brighter, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
Amid applause, he stepped up the steps, walked to the center of the stage with steady and powerful steps, and stood under the spotlight.
Facing 4 judges, 27 camera lenses and 1,500 live audiences at the same time!
"Hello to the four judges and teachers, hello to the audience, and good evening to everyone!"
Lu Chen didn't look sideways and said into the microphone: "I am contestant No. 001 Lu Chen."
After speaking, he bowed and saluted.
The applause that had just subsided started again, and one could hear the audience's love and support for him.
A song "Singing While Walking" and a song "In Spring" made Lu Chen, who performed well in the preliminary round, sing his name in "Singing China", and many audiences were no longer unfamiliar with him.
Even if he skipped the rematch and advanced directly to the top 32.
Last week, July 19, on the Chinese original music rankings for the third week of July, "In Spring" successfully topped the list after a month of promotion and publicity!
The Wandering Band has become famous and has become a hot new band. As the original songwriter of "In Spring", Lu Chen's name is firmly remembered by many people in the industry.
One of the judges, the Queen of Sweet Songs, Filia Chen, smiled and asked: "Lu Chen, we meet again, what good song will you bring to everyone tonight? Is it your own original work?"
She showed an expectant expression and gave the camera a close-up shot.
Lu Chen did not disappoint. He nodded and replied: "Yes, the song I brought to you tonight is very special. It is my first original work. A campus ballad..."
"Its name is, you at the same table!"
Tan Hong said: "Then I look forward to your wonderful singing."
Music starts.
Lu Chen lowered his head slightly and gently plucked the strings.
began his singing.
"Tomorrow will you remember the diary you wrote yesterday? Tomorrow will you still miss you who cried the most?"
"The teachers couldn't remember you and couldn't guess the problem. It was only by chance that I looked through the photos and remembered you as my deskmate!"
"..."
Lu Chen has played and sang this song "My Deskmate" many times, but every time he plays it and sings it, he has different feelings and experiences. I can't say which one is the best, but what he sings is the taste of his heart.
.
The song itself is not complicated, just two sections, and the range is not wide, only six degrees.
But its melody is very beautiful, simple and easy to sing, and the lyrics are as long and delicate as silk. It easily touches people's emotions that have been hidden deep in their hearts, causing everyone to resonate strongly and recall the past.
This song with a melodious melody and fresh melody perfectly reflects the innocent and hazy emotions of the student days, so it has always been one of Lu Chen's most popular works.
Different from usual, this song has been rearranged by Nirvana Studio. Wang Jing added accordion and harmonica to the accompaniment, which greatly enriches the tone and also enhances the nostalgic feeling of the melody.
Therefore, when Lu Chen took out "My Deskmate" and sang it on a real stage, the charm of this classic work not only did not fade at all, but became even more touching.
Even if you have heard it many times before, you will still be deeply moved!
The studio hall became quiet, very quiet, and everyone listened and savored it quietly.
Many, many people, in Lu Chen's slightly sad narration, recalled the beautiful years of youth they had experienced - the erasers they borrowed, the notebooks they copied, the 38th line on the table...
Those beautiful things, those sweet things, have all gone with the wind!
"...Who tied up your long hair and made you a wedding dress..."
Until Lu Chen finished singing, the entire audience was still silent.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The first person to clap his hands was judge Lin Zhijie.
There was uncontrollable admiration and appreciation in the eyes of the music director of Feishi Records.
However, everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, and they clapped their hands one after another. At first it was chaotic, but then it became neat and tidy, and the sincere and warm applause came in waves!
Filia Chen stood up first, her eyes sparkling with crystal light, and applauded Lu Chen.
Many viewers stood up. Although the live broadcast of the competition had just begun and Lu Chen was the first singer to appear, the atmosphere at the scene had already been pushed to the climax!
"Thanks!"
Lu Chen bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Thank you everyone!"
His heart was no longer calm.
This feeling is so good!
It took a full minute for the applause to finally subside and everyone returned to their seats.
Filia Chen said: "Lu Chen, I like your song, I like it very much!"
She was even a little excited: "So I give you ten points!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the queen of sweet songs pressed the scorer on the table hard and gave Lu Chen the highest score.
Lu Chen was unexpectedly happy and could only thank: "Thank you, Teacher Chen."
"Singing China" has 32 entries into the top 16. It uses a combination of judges' scores and on-site and off-site audience voting to select the top 16, of which the judges' scores account for 40%.
The 10 points that Filia Chen scored for the first time undoubtedly put a heavy weight on Lu Chen's winning balance!
She smiled and said: "Thank you too, for letting me hear a good song, really."
Smiling with tears.
As emotional as her, as touching as her.
