Chapter 30: Bring Out the Ultimate Skill

When the music stopped, the audience's hearts still remained in their first love, in that beautiful memory that had been forgotten for a long time.

It was not until the singing of contestant No. 5 Chen Xiyu rang out that my thoughts were interrupted.

This is a very famous Hong Kong song, which was once one of the top ten golden songs in the past few years.

"Don't remember the old dreams,

All that is gone yesterday is dead.

In the past, people were lost in dreams.

Don’t recall the tears flowing in the wind and the resentment of separation.

"Don't Remember the Old Dreams", this song has a touch of sadness. With Chen Xiyu's slightly hoarse singing, it seems like a woman who has experienced many vicissitudes of life is recounting a past emotion.

"Don't remember the past,

Don't mention it again after the incident has passed.

Why did love need to wait so long in the past?

Let me repay you for all the grievances I have borne."

There is relief, but also sadness, with the insights gained after going through so many things, and the helplessness towards life's circumstances. In my heart, there is also a faint expectation.

"Life is a long journey from now on,

Find their own way and fly towards the sky.

If there is any unfinished business between us in the future,

I will always meet you again at the end of the world."

Things in life are not satisfactory eight out of ten. Adult love is something that can be encountered but not sought. You can take it and let it go. When it is time to keep it, you will not give up. If you can't keep it, you and I will be well.

"Therefore, there is no need to remember old dreams, nor to feel pain or sorrow.

The joy and tears of past events,

Let me give you my all today."

The lingering feelings are still there, yet I let go freely. In the adult world, love is no longer the only thing. There are too many ties, and love is no longer everything in life.

After Chen Xiyu finished singing "No Need to Remember Old Dreams", the accompaniment of the song of the last contestant No. 24 Tan Feixia also sounded.

"The Moon Represents My Heart" is also a very lyrical song that is sung everywhere in the streets and alleys.

After the melodious prelude sounded, Tan Feixia sang in her sweet voice:

"You asked me how much I love you,

How much I love you,

My love is also true,

My love is true,

The moon represents my heart."

Tan Feixia's singing voice is very sweet, as sweet as if it were soaked in sugar water, and also like the feeling of being in love.

"You asked me how much I love you,

How much I love you,

My love remains unchanged,

My love remains unchanged,

The moon represents my heart."

The cloyingly sweet voice and lyrics perfectly suit a couple in love. The closeness between their lips, the blushing whispers of love, is truly thrilling...

"A gentle question,

It has touched my heart,

A deep love,

I still miss it today."

The lights on the stage also began to change, turning pink, as if countless pink bubbles were surrounding Tan Feixia.

"You asked me how much I love you,

How much I love you,

Think about it.

You go and take a look.

The moon represents my heart."

As the last music ended, the performance of this group of beauties also came to an end.

The charming lights disappeared, and the stage was lit up with bright white lights, as bright as day.

The host, Chen Jinchu, also walked onto the stage. "These four songs are so beautiful! They're all about love. They make me want to fall in love. I think the songs sung by these four beauties are much better than Lu Xinghe's. Xinghe, don't you agree?"

The camera turned to Lu Xinghe in the audience. Lu Xinghe smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, which made people feel very friendly.

Lu Xinghe nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement with the host.

Chen Jinchu smiled and said to Lu Xinghe, "But your opinion doesn't count. We need to hear the opinions of professionals. Shigao, I leave it to you."

Fang Shigao was already sitting next to a musician named Lin Zifeng. He said, "Zifeng, among the audience, you are the most professional in music. Please give us some comments."

Lin Zifeng took the microphone and asked the host Fang Shigao, "Let me test you. Who do you think sang the best among the four performers who just performed?"

"Huh? Why are you testing me?" Fang Shigao was at a loss for words. "I'm notoriously tone-deaf. Instead of asking me, you might as well ask a rooster why it doesn't lay eggs."

The audience burst into laughter again.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore." After Lin Zifeng finished laughing, he began to comment seriously.

"The four contestants each have their own unique voices. It's hard to say who sings the best, because every audience member has their favorite voice. I can't make decisions for the audience.

But from a professional's perspective, I think contestant No. 19, Hu Xiaoxiao, sang better. I could tell that among the four contestants, she was the only one who had studied vocal music seriously.

At the same time, it can be heard that she has not studied vocal music for a long time and is still a little bit behind professional singers.

But just the fact that she is willing to work hard, make efforts to learn vocal music, and put so much effort into today's stage is worthy of praise.

What's more, her voice is very unique and recognizable, and she handles details very delicately. I am very optimistic about her. I think if she is willing to continue learning, it will not be a problem for her to become a professional singer in the future."

Fang Shigao expressed surprise, "You have a very high opinion of Contestant No. 19."

"I always look up to people who have potential and are willing to work hard," said Lin Zifeng.

Chen Jinchu smiled and said, "Thank you Shigao, thank you Lin Zifeng, I hope contestant No. 19 will continue to work hard and go further, and hope that her next performance will be equally wonderful."

Backstage, Hu Xiaoxiao, who had finished her performance, stood behind the stage. After listening to the guest's comments, she nodded secretly: Not bad, it seems her efforts were not in vain.

Zhao Yanhong passed by and saw that Hu Xiaoxiao looked satisfied. She stopped and said jokingly, "The guest was just being polite and praising him. You don't take it seriously, do you?

How many contestants haven't been praised? I've been praised too. You don't think you can get first place just by being praised? Naive, you're celebrating too early.

Hu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Zhao Yanhong strangely: "You are not happy when people praise you, so you have to be scolded to be happy? You have a very unique taste."

"I'm kindly reminding you that every contestant performing today has brought their best to the stage. Athena may seem otherworldly, but hasn't she brought the ballet she's learned since elementary school to the stage? However, who knows who will win until the very last moment?"

In order to prepare for tonight's competition and win first place, Zhao Yanhong even used the Cantonese opera that was originally intended for the finals in the semi-finals.

"The best thing? Sorry, my box is too big and has too many things in it, all of which are good stuff. And..." Hu Xiaoxiao raised the question in his heart:

"Tonight is just the semifinals. Do we really need to use all our skills? Isn't it enough to just get into the top 16 and avoid elimination? If we use all our skills tonight, what will we have to win in the finals?"

Moreover, talent is only one aspect of the Miss Hong Kong pageant. In addition to talent, other aspects of the competition are equally important, or even more important.

If you only focus on your talents and ignore other aspects, you will fail miserably.

True strength lies in taking everything into consideration.
