Chapter 67 New Song
Ren Limeng's performance time was clearly only one minute and fifteen seconds, but in Shen Xingzhi's eyes, even though Ren Limeng spoke very fast, this moment was still infinitely stretched, carrying the mottled traces of ten years, and every ups and downs of her tone were engraved with the silent mark of time.
On the university campus, the young and timid schoolgirl finally slowly held her microphone steady, no longer worried about any difficulties. She looked at him for help with her bright eyes, full of infinite trust and love.
Now she can stand calmly in the center of the dazzling stage, speak fluently and confidently, showing her professional qualities, and calmly challenge seemingly impossible problems, making the audience remember her involuntarily.
No matter how many people remembered her before today, Shen Xingzhi believed that anyone who had watched this live broadcast and witnessed Ren Limeng's live introduction of this variety show on the Orange platform would definitely remember such a shining female host.
Ren Limeng is always like this, overflowing with endless enthusiasm and energy. After setting a goal, she will go all out and rush forward regardless of everything, just to achieve what she wants.
On the bustling stage, a smile that could not be hidden flashed in Chen Xingzhi's eyes. Under the camera, it seemed that he was just amused by Yan Baiwei's joke that Wu Yue was the "most favorite male host". Ren Limeng also tilted her head to look at Yan Baiwei and smiled as if to suit the occasion. Her smile suddenly paused for a moment.
Ren Limeng, who was standing on the far left of the center of the stage, suddenly caught sight of Shen Xingzhi on the other side, separated by the other three people in the team.
The lights were bright, Wu Yue's hosting was loud and clear, and the enthusiasm and cheers of countless audiences below the stage intertwined into a boiling ocean. In this hustle and bustle, Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi looked at each other silently, but they could not be ignored by each other.
Noticing the smile in Chen Xingzhi's eyes, Ren Limeng's smile deepened. She blinked slightly, as if she was just happy about her successful performance just now, or as if it was a natural reaction to the gorgeous stage lighting effects, but it made Chen Xingzhi feel an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Similar playful eyes had appeared countless times in the depths of his memory. At the end of each co-hosting, when they finished their closing remarks together and smiled at each other, she also smiled and talked like this.
Of course there are differences.
Even though he had experienced this many times before, at this moment, Shen Xingzhi still subconsciously held his breath, just wanting to deeply record the reflection in his eyes. The pair of eyes in front of him, sparkling with bright luster, were unforgettable and...heart-beating.
"Li Meng, you're truly a hidden talent! You speak so fast, it's amazing!"
"Chi Chi, is your injury feeling better? You're amazing for being able to persevere and finish the stage! If Brother Yue hadn't just explained it to you, no one would have known you were injured!"
After returning to the waiting hall, Shen Xingzhi's team was immediately surrounded by other guests. Although most people still gathered around Shen Xingzhi and Yan Baiwei, a few guests walked to Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi first. Everyone praised Ren Limeng and was concerned about Xu Chichi's injury.
Xu Chichi's smile was a little forced. She couldn't help but look at Ren Limeng again and again, carefully examining her teammates as if they were meeting for the first time.
Off camera, she ultimately offered a dry compliment, "Li Meng, you truly deserve to be the host! You've truly brought honor to our team!"
"Yes, Ren Limeng, I remember you learned to sing opera since you were young, but I didn't expect you to be such a great host!"
The sudden male voice surprised Ren Limeng a little. Ren Limeng turned her eyes from Xu Chichi to the other side, and her sight happened to meet the friendly smile on Guan He's face.
"Thank you. I'm also looking forward to your crosstalk performance. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to see your group's performance today."
They don’t seem to be familiar with the crosstalk artist Guan He?
But during the recording and even the live broadcast, even though Ren Limeng had some doubts in her heart, she still had a smile on her face and greeted politely.
"You'll find out when our team performs later. Ren Limeng, do you want to watch the crosstalk performance? I'm going to have a special performance next month and I'd love for you all to come and support me! And there are other sisters too, everyone should come and see it. Thank you all in advance!"
Guan He has a straight nose, and his leisurely voice carries a smile, accompanied by a friendly smile with a hint of cunning on the corner of his mouth. His every move is full of the natural joy and kindness of a crosstalk actor, which naturally brings him closer to the other guests. His short, shiny black hair is simple and neat, which perfectly sets off his well-defined face.
As expected of a leading figure in the crosstalk world, I've long heard that Guan He has high emotional intelligence and is a generous and open-minded person. He seemed quite cordial during our conversation today.
Ren Limeng thought in her heart, and just smiled like everyone else, listening to the guests' lively discussions and conversations, and slowly walked back to her seat along the flow of people.
After Chen Xingzhi, the next team to perform was Zheng Chuanbai's team. Zheng Chuanbai's team incorporated the paper-cutting culture of the first travel destination into the stage design. Paying attention to the audience feedback, Ren Limeng guessed that her team's score might be higher, but all the results would have to wait until the four teams had finished their performances to be announced.
Therefore, even though their team's performance had ended, everyone's hearts were still hanging in the air. Of course, another reason why Ren Limeng felt a little nervous was that the solo competition added after the quiz was about to begin.
After the second team's performance, the first half ended. Shen Xingzhi will start a 1V1 solo performance with the guest sent by Zheng Chuanbai's team. The audience on site and the audience in the live broadcast room will vote, and the results will be recorded in proportion and announced on the spot.
Theoretically, with Chen Xingzhi's popularity, the so-called competition was just a formality, but Chen Xingzhi himself was too pretentious!
Ren Limeng glanced silently at Shen Xingzhi who was already standing by the elevator waiting to go on stage. The captain of each team had to go on stage to perform, but the team members didn't even know the name of the song the captain was going to sing!
Shen Xingzhi actually took the initiative to choose the first-hand performance where the voting was even more disadvantageous!
The Douban team had already done statistics. Regardless of other factors such as popularity, the overall winning rate of the teams and guests who performed later in the first season of "Shan Hai" was significantly higher than that of the first. Ren Limeng was really worried about Shen Xingzhi.
"Next, please welcome Shen Xingzhi from Shen Xingzhi's team to perform a new song called "No Name"!"
Listening to Wu Yue's passionate and serious introduction, Ren Limeng almost couldn't hold back her smile in front of the camera. She was really confused and wanted to hold her forehead and smile bitterly.
In the morning, including the final rehearsal at noon, Shen Xingzhi did not report the name of the song to the program team. Until the chief director Yao Xin personally came to give the "ultimatum", Shen Xingzhi just said lightly, "Then let's introduce "No Name"!"
Yan Baiwei and others looked at Shen Xingzhi with strange expressions. Li Qingzi, as Shen Xingzhi's junior sister in the same company, couldn't help but speak gently and carefully proposed a naming suggestion to Shen Xingzhi.
Many staff members of the program team at the scene secretly looked at Ren Limeng, who had a calm face, and carefully observed any subtle changes in her expression.
While the guests were recording without a clear idea, the staff had already quietly spread the word that Shen Xingzhi had actually asked Ren Limeng to name the new song in front of the camera last night! Surely Shen Xingzhi was being sullen now? Was he trying to get some placation from Ren Limeng? Ren Limeng had to say something; she couldn't let Shen Xingzhi take advantage of his fame to act so recklessly!
Although, Shen Dadingliu does have unbridled strength and ability.
"The performance is about to begin, so don't bother coming up with a name for this crappy song of mine. Let's hurry up and train. Our team still has so many problems. Director Yao, I won't entertain you!"
Everyone did not wait for Ren Limeng to speak, but Shen Xingzhi ended the matter coldly without hesitation and directly issued an "eviction order" to Yao Xin.
On the broadcast screen, as Chen Xingzhi walked onto the stage amid the cheers of the crowd, even though Ren Limeng was just sitting there without observing her surroundings, she knew that there would be a lot of cameras focused on her at this moment, and the program crew would not miss out on recording her facial reaction to the current situation. Thanks to Chen Xingzhi, she had also become the program crew's key focus guest.
Ren Limeng felt that she had not yet made her official debut. In the past two days, with just a few glances and words from Chen Xingzhi, the CP of the two of them could already take shape.
Who made Chen Xingzhi so cold for so many years? The program crew saw his slightly abnormal behavior in the past two days, just like a firefly in the summer night encountering a bright light, and just wanted to drill into it.
Fortunately, she had already applied to the Orange platform and finally got a part-time job from the entertainment department to handle public opinion and marketing related to her.
Of course, since she is just a humble worker, working diligently and only getting a five-figure salary every month from the company, and she doesn't have the luxury of spending six figures on a trending search, the so-called marketing is just to build a platform and program team, and deal with some of the negative discussions about her.
Ren Limeng sighed silently in her heart. Compared to all these, she was only worried about Shen Xingzhi. She had just secretly flipped through her mobile phone. The response to her oral performance was unexpectedly good. Her rationality returned. She now wanted to downplay the CP cooperation with Shen Xingzhi.
In front of and behind the camera, Shen Xingzhi's behavior was too fierce. She was afraid that she could not withstand it, and she was even more afraid that the backlash would be more intense than expected.
If possible, Ren Limeng dreamed, she still hoped that they would not deliberately hype up the couple, at least... the object should not be Shen Xingzhi.
But what we wish for is often not what we want.
The response to Chen Xingzhi's new song should be very good. Listening to Chen Xingzhi's cool and low singing voice, Ren Limeng did not immerse herself in the faint sadness of missing out again. Instead, she silently paid attention to the faces of the audience who passed by in the broadcast, and quietly checked the latest discussions on platforms such as Weibo. No matter from which angle, she saw only positive reviews.
Not only did Chen Xingzhi's fans praise him endlessly, but even in the barrage and other discussions, many people couldn't help but sigh at the strong strength of Chen Xingzhi, the three-time king of singers. The song "No Name" was able to be deeply remembered by everyone with just a short song. Many people have left messages asking how to search for the source of the song on the music platform.
Since it is a new song, of course the audio source cannot be searched, and the audio source provided by the program team is not available in real time.
Ren Limeng's fingertips paused on the message, and just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Chen Xingzhi finish singing the last note and said softly, "New song "Lost Dream"..."
