Chapter 128: Chasing Dreams

After singing the song, there was a wave of applause.

Xi Jia's original song "Uninhabited Island" is undoubtedly the biggest highlight since the opening of tonight's Bihai Singing Area PK competition. The top 10 leader showed off his trump card when facing a strong enemy and immediately won the house.

.

Unique voice, powerful singing, catchy lyrics, and bright and enthusiastic melody...

Accompanied by the passionate accompaniment of the live band, this new song seemed like a sudden heavy rain on the island on a summer night, conquering the 5,000 audience with lightning speed.

Many audience members stood up and applauded vigorously to pay tribute to Xi Jia and thank her for dedicating a good song to everyone.

Xi Jia's fans even held their fluorescent signs high and shouted her name loudly.

The atmosphere at the scene reached a new climax!

Facing the cheers of thousands of spectators, Xi Jia's chest rose and fell violently several times, a flush of excitement appeared on her fair and jade-like face, and the corners of her eyes became a little more sparkling.

She held her electric guitar and bowed deeply to the audience who supported her.

Then turned around and thanked the live band.

When she straightened up again, there were already two lines of tears on her face, but she still had a smile, a smile of joy.

Among the four judges, Filia Chen stood up and applauded her.

After sitting down, the sweet song queen asked with a smile: "You sang so well, Xi Jia, I remember that you always sang covers of other people's songs in previous competitions. Why did you come up with this original piece tonight?"

Xi Jia wiped her tears and said a little embarrassedly: "Because I have been writing this song for a long, long time, and I have never had a suitable opportunity to sing it to others, but tonight is different..."

After a slight pause, she continued: "Tonight is the PK competition in Bihai Singing District. I just want to use this song to express my love for my hometown. Thank you to all the fans and audience friends for their support!"

"Thank you everyone!"

The applause that had just subsided started again.

Filia Chen encouraged: "Well said. I'll give you 10 points!"

She pressed the scorer and added 10 points to Xi Jia.

In the warm applause, Xi Jia bowed again: "Thank you, Teacher Chen."

Immediately afterwards, Tan Hong, Lin Zhijie and Zhen Zhen commented respectively, giving them 9, 9 and 10 points!

Adding up all four, Xi Jia's total score from the judges was 38, which was also the highest score since the start of the competition.

The audience burst into applause.

This song "Uninhabited Island" is a typical fast song, which is very in line with the taste of young people nowadays.

Both its lyrics and melody are unique. If it is packaged and promoted, there will be no problem in being on the original music chart. Maybe it will have a chance to reach the top ten position.

But it can't be said how excellent and classic it is. Because this song lacks enough connotation, it was only because of Xi Jia's almost perfect performance that it received such a high score from the judges.

Of course originality is a bonus, but singing ability is also indispensable. After all, "Singing China" is not "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter", so Xi Jia's performance is still the key to scoring.

She scored such a high score from the judges, which inadvertently put a lot of pressure on Lu Chen who appeared later.

In particular, Xi Jia relies on original works.

When it comes to the tour PK competition, the scoring standards of the four judges are much higher, and it is easy to not get a perfect score.

Even for Lu Chen, the judges' total scores in the previous two games were only 36 and 37, but they were both higher than his opponents.

Now Xi Jia has scored 38 points, and she has the home court advantage, so she is naturally a great threat to Lu Chen.

This kind of threat and pressure was reflected in [Whale TV]'s live broadcast room, and Lu Chen's fans could no longer calm down.

"Xijia is really great. Although I am a fan of the anchor, I must say this song is good."

"It sounds very good. Filia Chen even gave it a 10 points."

"What if it happens?"

"What! I'm really impressed by you guys. It's not like Lu Fei has never encountered a powerful opponent."

"Unless anything happens, Commander Lu will win!"

"If the anchor loses, I will eat the keyboard during the live broadcast!"

"Chicken keyboard?"

"Bah, bah, bah, you don't want a crow's mouth. I believe Lu Fei will win!"

"Support the anchor"

Amidst the heated discussion, Li Bai, the number one fan in Lu Fei's live broadcast room, suddenly smashed five aircraft carriers in a row.

After shocking the audience with his big move, he said coolly: "Shuai Lu will win, no need to doubt it. If you win this PK, everyone come to the group to grab red envelopes!"

There was a flood of flattery in the live broadcast room.

It was different when the local tycoon took action, instantly suppressing all noise.

At the competition site, after the four judges announced their scores, Xi Jia temporarily left and Lu Chen took the stage instead.

The rules of the tour PK competition are different from those of the singing area promotion competition. In addition to the judges' scores, the votes of the audience inside and outside the venue will be announced at the same time later. Of course, the vote counting time is exactly the same for the two contestants.

Lu Chen took his guitar and walked onto the stage again.

"Hello to the four judges, and to the audience at the scene and in front of the TV!"

"I'm Lu Chen!"

After speaking, he bowed and saluted.

The audience at the scene was still very considerate, and the applause was quite enthusiastic, but it was incomparable to the previous ones.

However, there were two female fans sitting in the front seat, desperately shaking the fluorescent signs in their hands.

The two cute characters "Lu Chen" above are very eye-catching.

"Hello"

Tan Hong nodded, smiled and asked: "Lu Chen, everyone is looking forward to your performance tonight. Player Xi Jia scored 38 points earlier. Do you feel any pressure?"

Since Tan Hong appeared on "Singing China", he has become the well-deserved chief judge with his rigorous style and professional judgment. Some people on the Internet said that he was too harsh on singers, but no one said that his scoring was unfair.

He doesn't really like to interact with players, but rather provides guidance and discussion on music.

Questions like this, which are commonplace, have almost never happened before.

It was really Lu Chen.

Lu Chen answered calmly: "There is definitely pressure. Xi Jia's performance is great and her works are really great. If I have a choice, I hope not to compete with her."

"Well. Let's all be good friends!"

The venue immediately burst into bursts of laughter and applause.

Lu Chen's answer was undoubtedly very humble. It also had a humorous side, which made people feel good about him.

The camera lens at the live broadcast scene instantly switched and focused on Xi Jia standing in the waiting area.

Lu Chen's words made her purse her lips and smile. When the camera came over, she raised her hand to make a gesture of victory.

Filia Chen smiled and said: "Then if you really become good friends, for the sake of friendship, would you be willing to give her the place to be promoted to the top ten in the country?"

The queen of sweet songs blinked, a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

this question

Lu Chen was a little speechless. When did "Singing China" become the "Wit Answer" program?

But he reacted quickly and said after a moment of thought: "I think true friendship is based on mutual respect and mutual understanding. Friendship has nothing to do with interests, identity and status."

"So I think contestant Xi Jia will not accept the spot I gave her. She has to win with confidence!"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the audience burst into applause again, which was more enthusiastic and sincere than before.

for his wonderful answer.

Xi Jia bit her lip, her eyes bright.

Filia Chen smiled and said: "Well said. Then let's start your performance. I'm looking forward to it!"

Not only is she looking forward to it, the viewers sitting in front of TVs and computers, and the hundreds of thousands of fans in the online live broadcast room are all looking forward to Lu Chen's performance tonight.

What kind of works will he use to meet the challenge of a powerful opponent?

Standing in front of the microphone with his guitar in his arms, Lu Chen was very calm.

After so many duels, he has been truly tempered and will not have stage fright no matter how big the stage is.

But at this moment, his heart was not at peace.

With just a snap of his fingers, Lu Chen thought a lot, and many past events flashed in his mind.

He thought of the dark years he had experienced, of his depression after his father's death, of the hardships caused by the drastic changes in his life, and of the pain and heartbreak he felt after his girlfriend broke up.

He thought of the days in Jingpiao, where he worked hard to earn more money and lived like a zombie.

He remembered being banned from the Starlight Show, and being suppressed and forced because he refused to sign a contract.

He has not forgotten that he was slandered twice on the Internet and even spread rumors and slanders!

Although Lu Chen had overcome all the difficulties and obstacles along the way, and although all the troubles had been solved, he had not yet spoken out his feelings or launched his own counterattack.

Anger has long been stored in my heart, just waiting to explode!

And here is the best stage.

Lu Chen puffed up his chest and his eyes lit up with fire.

He hugged the guitar tightly, then turned around and gave a thumbs up to the live band.

It's time to start.

Let the whole world listen to my voice!

The name of this song is, Chasing Dreams with Pure Heart!

"Where is the world full of flowers?

If it really existed then I would definitely go,

I want the highest mountain to stand there,

Don’t care if it’s a cliffhanger!

Live hard, love hard, even if your liver and brain are ruined,

Don’t ask for anyone’s satisfaction, just be worthy of yourself,

Regarding ideals, I never choose to give up,

Even on the gray days.

Maybe I don't have talent,

But I have the innocence of dreams,

I will prove it with my whole life.

Maybe my hands are clumsier than my feet,

But I am willing to keep exploring,

Give all your youth without leaving any regrets!

Run forward, facing cold looks and ridicule!

How can one feel the vastness of life without going through hardships?

Fate cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy,

Even if blood is spilled all over my arms!

Keep running, with pure pride!

How can you see the sparkle of life if you don’t persist to the end?

It's better to burn to your heart's content than to linger,

One day it will sprout again!

..."——

Note: Lyrics/Music of "Chasing Dreams of Innocence": Su Duo.

ps: Let’s talk about the author’s past here.

The author's family used to be very poor. His parents were laid off very early. His sister gave up college and went to a vocational high school so that she could get out of work as soon as possible. The same goes for the author, who went to a vocational school to study art.

At that time, I was so poor that I had to borrow money to pay my tuition fees, and I couldn't even afford painting paints. Life was extremely difficult.

In the second half of the third year of high school, the author went out for an internship and worked as an apprentice in a small company. He worked for free for half a year, and then got a job as an artist.

That was in 1994, and my salary was 350 yuan.

Later, the advertising company grew and the boss bought two Apple computers for graphic design. Apple computers were very expensive at that time. One computer cost 50,000 yuan, which could buy a house locally.

The author really wants to learn it, but his boss won't let him, so he just needs to be a good artist.

How can you let you play with such a high-end and expensive thing?

But the author was unwilling to do so, so he asked a friend to buy textbooks in Hangzhou, and at night when there was no one in the company, he secretly went to study AI, PS, PM and other graphic software on his own, and he studied late at night every day, rain or shine.

A year later, the author became the director of the company's design department and worked in this company for 8 years.

When the author later switched to coding, people still called and asked if they were willing to help.

This may be the reason why the author chose the song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart". The author wants to tell everyone that no matter what kind of hardships we face, as long as we persist and work hard, there will always be hope and a future!

Life is a long road, and I am willing to encourage you together.

ps1: The above content is free, and there will be a third update in the evening. (To be continued ~^~)
