Chapter 558: The First Song
After Lu Yuanning finished singing, the audience burst into applause. Lu Yuanning did not leave the stage immediately. He used a few minutes to canvass votes for himself. It was not because he was eager to win, but before he went on stage, the director asked him not to leave immediately after the singing, but to delay for at least three minutes so that they could set up the stage. Lu Yuanning himself did not know what to set up, so he just did what the director asked.
So when Lu Yuanning was speaking, it was still pitch black behind him, with the light only shining around him. He heard the director's orders through his earphones, telling him that he could leave. Only then did he bow to the audience, thank them, and walk off the stage.
As soon as he left, the spotlight on the stage immediately changed from one beam to two beams, shining on the left and right respectively. Just as Lu Yuanning was speaking to divert the audience's attention, the staff quietly placed a white grand piano on the left and a guzheng on the right.
The two beams of light made the two instruments particularly bright.
There was a slight murmur from the audience. Everyone was discussing who the backup singer would be and why there were two instruments with completely different styles.
The curiosity of netizens watching the live broadcast was also piqued.
Under the director's arrangement, Li Xiaoru was the first to walk onto the stage. She saluted the audience first, then sat down in front of the piano. The camera gave a close-up of her profile.
Even if it was just a side profile, those who lived around Li Xiaoru could recognize her at a glance, especially her classmates from the Conservatory of Music. They were all stunned. Li Xiaoru playing the piano live on "The King of Singers" was as surprising to them as Shen Mozhen holding a guzheng and entering the entertainment industry!
Everyone just made this analogy in their minds, but then they saw Shen Mozhen suddenly appear next to the guzheng on the right, bowed slightly to everyone, and then sat down...
...
...
A student from the Conservatory of Music posted a comment saying, "This is so weird. How did the "Singing King Contest" become our school's alumni concert???"
"That's not the point. Who is the backup singer?"
"I seem to have guessed someone."
"I guessed that, but how is that possible? They are both internet celebrities. If you want to invite her, why do you want to eliminate Xiao Ke'er?"
"What's that upstairs talking about?"
…
Just as everyone was having a heated discussion about the identity of the backup singer, Li Xiaoru's fingers lightly danced on the piano keys, and the performance began.
The camera was pointed at her, recording her performance, and at the same time, a line of text appeared on the screen:
Piano: Li Xiaoru (Piano Department of Capital Conservatory of Music)
Only those accompaniments, dances and vocals that are worth emphasizing will be specially introduced with subtitles by the program team. For example, the handsome guitar player just now also has a special introduction.
Under this dim lighting effect, the smile on Li Xiaoru's lips seemed mysterious, and her dazzling piano playing skills amazed the audience who didn't know her and didn't understand the piano.
After Li Xiaoru finished playing a paragraph, she stopped, and the sound of the guzheng rang out from the other end. The melodious melody, like pearls and jade, was like a stream of clear spring water pouring into the hearts of the audience, drawing everyone's attention back from the illusion of listening to an elegant concert, and making them see a Chinese ink painting again. The girl in the painting was impeccably beautiful.
A line of text appears on the screen again:
Guzheng: Shen Mozhen (Guzheng principal of the National Chinese Orchestra)
Shen Mozhen's performance brought silence to the entire studio, and the online barrage and comment sections also fell silent. Everyone listened to the music seriously and didn't want to be distracted!
The zither gradually faded away, and when the piano sounded again, the singing followed.
“That day, I mustered up the courage;”
"I like you, I tell you;"
…
The third beam of light shone in the middle of the stage, illuminating the singer. When they saw Liu Man, some of the audience who had guessed it was her felt relieved, but still felt a little touched. Liu Man's fans were especially surprised and proud to see their idol standing on such a grand stage.
The song's announcement finally appeared on the screen:
First Love
Lyricist: Xue Yunfei
Singer/Original singer: Liu Man
When will Liu Man release a new song? Why haven't they heard it? Liu Man's fans are confused, but they don't have time to be distracted, this song is so good! They don't want to miss any note or any lyrics.
Liu Man held the microphone and looked at the audience, especially the one in the middle. She wanted to find Yu Zhan, but there were too many people. She just glanced at him and focused on singing:
