Chapter 32
When the host called out Chunxi's name, Chunxi took a deep breath and spread a beautiful smile, charming the contestants in the waiting area. Then when she walked onto the stage, she charmed the judges and the audience below. Cao Yanyan finally understood one fact: beauty can indeed be used as a weapon.
"Hello everyone, I'm Fu Chunxi." Chunxi saw that everyone was so quiet, so she spoke out and greeted them, waking up those friends who were immersed in the beauty of the gorgeous lady.
"Oh, it's easy to get distracted when looking at you. It feels like looking at you is such a pleasure!" Han Hong came back to her senses and sighed. That's true, and it's even more enjoyable to listen to her singing. She has great singing skills and rich emotions. She is really a great contestant.
"Oh my god, I've waited for so long and finally got my little Xixi. As my wife, it's enough that I only get to see her once in such a long time."
"Check in to enjoy the beauty of Xiao Xixi."
"It's absolutely beautiful. I feel like today is even more beautiful than the last time. What should I do?"
"Indeed, I feel that the style of what she is wearing today is more European and American, innocent yet a little sexy. She is simply beautiful."
It is true that Chunxi is wearing a more European and American style today, because the songs chosen this time are also European and American, so the clothing and makeup have to keep up. Chunxi's hair was a little curly when she was a child. I heard that she inherited it from David. As she grew older, the curls gradually turned straight. However, they were not completely straight, but still had some natural and nice curves.
Today the makeup artist also gave her some curls, not big curls, just small curls to show off Chunxi's sexiness.
The clothes are not revealing, and the sexiness is reflected in some small details, the subtle charm, coupled with the slightly smoky makeup and bright red retro lips, which always catch people's eyes and hearts inadvertently. Looking at a beautiful woman is really a very pleasant thing for the body and mind. If this beauty also has a good voice and can sing good songs, it will be even more intoxicating.
Ever since Chunxi started her singing, everyone present had this feeling in their hearts. When they knew that Chunxi had chosen an English song, both Chunxi's fans and the judges showed some concern to some extent. It has been a long time since English songs have failed to adapt to the local environment and are not popular in the Youth Song Competition. It can be said that everyone knows it well. From the previous competition, it can be seen that Chunxi's singing ability is definitely not bad, and her foundation must be very solid, but they are just worried about the English song curse.
It would be a pity if I couldn't get a high score just because I sang an English song.
The song Ain't no sunshine was originally sung by a black singer, so it has a strong black singing style. Chunxi changed the singing style, but did not change the strong European and American flavor. This song is also an interlude in the movie Notting Hill (you can go and watch it, I really like this movie, it makes me sad when I watch it, and the heroine in the movie is Julia Roberts, a female star I like very much). Notting Hill is a cliché but romantic story about a small bookstore owner who falls in love with a female star, but they have to separate. There are too many cafes, too many small restaurants and too many bookstores in Notting Hill, but there is only one story like this and only one love like this.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Listening to this song, those scenes of parting appear again. The bustling crowds in Notting Hill, the maple leaves on the street, and the aroma of coffee next to the shop. The frustrated man walked along the path in Notting Hill, passing by, missing, and meeting his love again.
"Ain't no sunshine" is set against the background of William walking alone on the streets of Notting Hill. There are all kinds of pedestrians on the roadside, but his heart is filled with unspeakable pain and unspeakable farewell. Just like the song goes, 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone'. Perhaps William's heart was just like the content of this song.
This song also expresses William's longing for Anna and his inner struggle. I can't forget her face. Whether happy or sad, I would give everything I have for it." This song not only adds a lot of color to the film, but also made the semi-famous British actor Elvis Costello famous, making him well-known to hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
Such a sad song, under Chunxi's vivid interpretation, not only expresses its sadness and regret, but also is full of love, making people feel a little sweetness and joy besides sadness. It is this contradictory feeling that is the most charming. As you listen, you will cry, and you will feel that this is the heroine Anna Scott in the play whispering about that regret. She quietly tells you the romance of love and the sadness of separation. The excitement of our first meeting, that casual first encounter filled with the slightly bitter aroma of cappuccino.
It was as if I had returned to Notting Hill and saw that small bookshop again, the mediocre, even debt-ridden bookshop owner and the two people who were the center of attention and lived under the spotlight, a wonderful encounter, a wonderful love. There were embarrassment, happiness, confusion and mutual understanding. The things in the movie seemed to happen in real life. Everyone who listened to Chunxi singing witnessed that love affair.
The song will eventually end, and when the lights come on, the audience in the studio slowly open their eyes, with tears in their eyes and smiles on their lips. It is a wonderful experience, with laughter and tears, and not only the audience, but also the judges are not spared. Wiping the tears from her face, Chunxi laughed, giving the audience another critical hit.
Why can you cry so beautifully? Even your tears are so beautiful!
"Oh my god, she just made me cry, and then she cried too. I suddenly want to watch Notting Hill again. I think Xixi's singing is better than the original, and the rich emotions are so overwhelming. I can't help it. I kneel down to Xixi."
"This song is really great. In fact, let's not talk about the singing skills. Just the fact that she is so emotionally rich is enough to make everyone intoxicated and share her joy and sorrow. This is already quite remarkable. Anyway, I think she is really a very talented person. At such a young age, it is not easy for her to combine so many emotions and understand them clearly. By the way, I am also a student at the Conservatory of Music. I think it is really difficult to do what she does. Moreover, the skills she showed in singing "Sun and Moon in the Sky" last time were superb."
"I think that many times, English songs in the Youth Song Contest are not popular because many singers' English pronunciation is not authentic enough, and their singing styles are not European and American enough, which always sounds weird and discordant. Chunxi's English songs are clearly pronounced, with a very standard American accent, and her singing is not deliberate at all, but very natural and vivid. I think she should be given a high score this time."
The judges did think so. Man Wenjun wiped the tears from his eyes, sighed and said, "I want to say that it is a torture every time I listen to your singing. It's not that you sing badly, it's that you sing too well! Last time, your high notes in Sun and Moon in the Sky almost gave me a heart attack, and this time you are tear-jerking again. You, you, you... I really don't know what to do. But I get addicted to your songs. I think you sing really well. Anyway, I like it very much."
"I like it too. What do you mean by "since you like it, I like it too." Xiao Chong said with a smile. He hadn't even wiped the tears from his eyes yet. He said jokingly, "Although you made me cry, I still like the songs you sing. I really like them. I can really feel the love and your rich emotions from your songs."
Han Hong nodded repeatedly when she heard Xiao Chong say this: "Indeed, emotion is very important in singing. It should be said that it is the most important thing. It is very important for a person to have rich emotions when singing. This determines whether your song can move others."
After everyone had a lot of conversation, it finally came to the time to give Chunxi a score. Xiao Chong gave her 100 points directly, and the scores of the others were all above 99.5 points. The final total score reached 99.67 points, breaking the record again. Cao Yanyan sighed in her heart: It's really strong, but at the same time she still clapped her hands sincerely for Chunxi. However, the same could not be said for some others, such as Zhang Liangqiao.
After Zhang Liangqiao stepped down from the stage, she just changed her clothes but didn't actually leave. She had a secret evil thought in her heart. She hoped that Chunxi would suffer a Waterloo because of singing the English song, and fall to the bottom, without ever having a chance to stand up again. She never understood why she had to come here to compete with them when her family was so rich. Why didn't she just live her life as a rich second-generation?
For Zhang Liangqiao, she wants to be famous, to be well-known, and to make money, but singing is just a tool for her to make money, and has nothing to do with her dreams or pursuits. Maybe she had a dream many years ago, but now, that illusory thing has long since disappeared.
For Chunxi, singing is more of a hobby and a dream, so her singing is purer. You can find happiness in her singing, but never indulgence in sentimentality; you can find sadness, but never world-weariness or evil; you can find beauty in her singing, but never darkness. In short, in Chunxi's singing, you can find all the elegant and beautiful things, but her songs will never make you feel dark and depressed. She is not eager for quick success and instant benefits, nor does she aim for high positions blindly. She is not greedy for money and forgets her principles for the sake of gain. Her singing voice is like crystal and her whispers are like an angel. So listening to her songs is relaxing and makes people feel happy.
The judges all have very discerning ears and can actually sense what's in someone's singing. Therefore, Zhang Liangqiao's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits is disliked, while Chunxi's simplicity is favored.
A video that appeared on the Internet made Chunxi's reputation as the "Voice of the Elf" spread across the country in a short period of time.
The author has something to say:
I set a goal to have the hero and heroine meet within three chapters. If I can't do it, I'll add more until we meet.
