Chapter 264: Ten Years

The stage lights change like flowing amber.

The outline of the phoenix perching on the wutong tree was embedded in a dazzling light and shadow.

【bite!】

[System tasks are unlocked at a medium difficulty level. Get the top three in this episode of "I'm the King of Singers" and you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth! ]

The system prompt sound suddenly sounded.

Lin Zhixing lowered his head to gather his emotions and nodded to the band teachers beside him. Soon, the melodious, slightly sad and low prelude of "Ten Years" flowed out.

The audience had just come out of "Letting Go" and listening to this prelude, they had a vague premonition.

——The paper in my pocket is running out.

"If those two words didn't tremble"

“I won’t find myself feeling uncomfortable”

"How to say it"

"It's just a breakup"

Song Ge raised the microphone, and her unique voice hovered in the melody like a charming elf, attracting the audience.

From the first second, the audience was gripped by this song, as if it had some kind of magic that forced them to stop what they were doing and immerse themselves in the story.

At the same time, some viewers were curious about the "two words" in the first sentence of the lyrics.

Which two words did not tremble?

Hello? Break up? Goodbye?

"If there is no demand for tomorrow"

“Holding hands is like traveling”

'Thousands of doorways'

“Someone has to go first”

Lin Zhixing raised the microphone and sang with great emotion, as if every word was an unforgettable memory.

Compared to the "Letting go" which just created a miracle, the lyrics and sense of immersion of this song are very strong, and the audience is deeply attracted.

"Since the embrace cannot linger"

"Why not when you leave"

"Enjoy while crying"

In the chorus, the harmony of Lin Zhixing and Song Ge has a kind of magic. As the melody of the song goes on, it is like playing a movie, bringing all the listeners' past events to the big screen, playing scene by scene. The voice, appearance and smile of the person in their hearts seem to be vivid and clear, as real as if they had never left.

"I didn't know you ten years ago"

"You don't belong to me, but we are still the same"

"Being with a stranger"

"Walking through the streets that are becoming familiar"

Lin Zhixing and Song Ge's singing became better and better. The audience was moved and left their own thoughts in the live broadcast room.

"Ten years later, we all have our own lives now. After so many years, I have finally learned to keep everything to myself. When we meet again, I will just smile and say: Long time no see."

"Ten years ago, if you lost your temper, even a bull couldn't stop you. Ten years later, if you get angry, you suddenly feel it's unnecessary. Ten years ago, even sentimentality had to be exaggerated to the point of shaking the world. Ten years later, the more pain you feel, the calmer you become."

"Every decade in life brings new insights. Ten years later, I will no longer risk my life for love, and no longer expect a passionate love affair. I am increasingly yearning for a long-lasting, ordinary and warm relationship."

Singers waiting room.

Fang Jian listened very carefully and he felt that the song was about loneliness.

No matter whether you become boyfriend or girlfriend or just ordinary friends within ten years, everything you have will eventually return to zero, and you will all have to go on your own in the end. The passers-by in life come and go in a hurry.

“It’s so well written.”

He felt that among Lin Zhixing's songs, he could always find a song that could touch his heart. A certain line of lyrics or a certain melody could easily stir his heart.

Wang Jiawei's eyes became red unconsciously as she listened to this song.

She also had a relationship ten years ago. Although it only lasted three days, she missed it for ten years.

Just now, while listening to this song, she suddenly felt relieved.

——Why make the memories longer than the experience?

She felt that she could not beat Fengqi Wutong today, as they were too strong in the topic selection competition.

If you want to beat them, you can only wait until the free singing session.

The audience were particularly surprised when they accidentally saw the big devil Wang Jiawei secretly wiping away tears.

"Wow, Feng Qi Wu Tong made her opponent cry?"

"Ten years later we are friends"

"You can also say hello just that kind of gentleness"

“No more reasons to hug”

"Lovers will inevitably become friends in the end"

“Bang!”

Huang Xiao, one of the special judges, pressed the add vote button, and the yellow lights on the stage flashed.

He felt that the lyrics and music of the song were excellent, and the performance was impeccable. They were really getting stronger and stronger.

Auditorium.

A female audience member, Xiaofang, burst into tears and confided to her bestie: "Ten years ago, he was the first person I loved. At that time, I was only a teenager and a clingy girl. Every day we spent together satisfied all my fantasies about love."

"It was ten years later when I saw him again. He had gained a lot of weight and found a stable girlfriend. Seeing him and talking to him really felt like traveling through time and space. Do you understand how I feel?"

Ten years later, we are still friends and can still greet each other, but we no longer have a reason to hug each other...

At this moment, Xiaofang was listening to every word of the lyrics, which struck her heart and opened the floodgates of tears.

Seeing her best friend crying, she wiped her tears and asked curiously, "Why are you crying? Haven't you never been in love?"

The bestie wiped her tears and said through gritted teeth: "Ten years reminds me of the friend who owed me money and didn't pay it back."

Another corner of the audience.

A male audience member was also moved to tears, "Oh yeah, you taught me how to sing for ten years, but you didn't tell me how to walk for ten years..."

The audience around him heard his confession and slowly uttered a few words, "Enjoy it while crying."

"Until we've been friends for many years"

"I understand my tears"

"Not for you"

“Flow for others, too”

Finally, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge sang together to end this song that moved the audience.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the screen in the live broadcast room was filled with comments.

“How many people, at a young age, meet someone they want to spend their lives with, but in the end, this beautiful relationship eventually drifts away in the wind, with no news ever heard of it.”

"We eventually became indifferent adults, and put that time in the deepest part of our memory. Only in our dreams at midnight do we vaguely recall that person's smiling face."

"I feel like it's harder to fall in love as I get older. I had to have a deep and lasting love during my school days, but it's basically impossible now!"

Judges' seat.

Lv Liangshan, one of the special judges, likes this song very much. He thinks the line "It was not until I became friends with you for many years that I realized that my tears were not only shed for you, but also for others" is very interesting.

"Dongli, what do you think he wants to express at the end of the song, when he shed tears for others?"

Seeing Lu Liangshan asking himself, Wei Donglin stroked his chin, thought for a while, and expressed his opinion, "It means that they are really only suitable to be friends. It is right to separate. The protagonist can still love and shed tears for others. His ex-girlfriend is still by his side as a friend. This kind of new love and old love have their own way to go. I think it is a perfect ending."

Lu Liangshan nodded, turned around and asked Huang Xiao, "Brother Huang, what do you think?"

"Um……"

Huang Xiao tapped the table with his fingertips, thought for a moment and said, "I think this sentence hits the nail on the head and hurts the audience's heart, but also wants to heal the audience in the pain. Being friends is just an idea in the protagonist's mind. Shedding tears for others is for all those who have the same experience."

As expected of the two heroes of Hong Kong City! After listening to Huang Xiao’s explanation, Lu Liangshan immediately felt that the song had been elevated! ! ! “Pa!”

The yellow stage lights flashed again.

Lu Liangshan also pressed the button to add a ticket.

Off screen.

Inside a fast food restaurant.

How should rain be described?

Xiao Liu was eating a hamburger while browsing Zhihu. When he saw this question, he looked out the window and saw the drizzling rain still falling.

The customer sent him another message urging him to finish. He finished the last bite of his burger, put on his headphones, opened the live broadcast room of "I Am the King of Singers", then picked up his umbrella and walked out of the fast food restaurant.

"I didn't know you ten years ago"

"You don't belong to me, but we are still the same"

This song is so well written...

Xiao Liu sighed, and as he inadvertently raised the umbrella, his mind went blank.

Fate is always full of drama and coincidences. He never thought that he would see his first love again in his lifetime.

The moment he met his first love again, Xiao Liu was frozen in place. When he looked at her, the short distance of just a few steps seemed so close and yet so far to him, as if separated by countless summers like that year. It seemed so unreal.

What Xiao Liu saw was not her who was a few steps away from him. In these few steps, what he saw were all the little bits and pieces that he thought he had forgotten over the years.

What I saw was the me who swore to love her, care for her and take care of her for the rest of her life. What I saw was her back as she turned and left and disappeared into the crowd. What I saw was her shy smile when we first met...

But the first love, who was anxious to hide from the rain without an umbrella, did not see him.

After so many years, Xiao Liu has finally learned to stop saying a word and stop pursuing whether the past is worth cherishing, because now they both have their own lives.

After passing each other, he put down his umbrella and stood there with his face up in the rain.

After a moment, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him, but his first love had already disappeared.

"Why……"

Xiao Liu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on the post he saw in the restaurant again, poked the screen, and replied.

[In fact, the rain was not heavy, it only wet my cheeks. In fact, the rain was also heavy, it wet the spring, summer, autumn and winter that you and I have walked through. ]

"Hello, Manager Wang, I'll be there right away!"

Xiao Liu hung up the phone and continued to be busy as usual, but he, who never sang on the road, was humming a song.

"Since the embrace cannot linger"

"Why not when you leave"

"Enjoy while crying"

Even rain is a kind of beauty, why not take this opportunity to cry bitterly...

We all have to perform our own parts in this life script.

"Thank you Fengqi Wutong for your wonderful performance. Now, please welcome singer Fang Jian to perform the song "Breakup Journey". Please welcome him with applause."

What surprised Lin Zhixing was that Fang Jian’s singing was equally impeccable. He sang a popular breakup song by Lan Xing, which more than 90% of the audience had heard.

The memories added extra points to the song, and the atmosphere on the scene was no less than my own.

The next person to perform was Wang Jiawei, but since ballads were not her forte, she did not perform as well as Fang Jian.

“Thanks to Wang Jiawei for the wonderful performance!”

As the last group of contestants finished singing tonight, it was time for the exciting voting session. While the 500 judges were voting, the stage screen switched to the singers' waiting room.

As more and more singers were eliminated, the waiting room was no longer lively. The singers hardly communicated with each other and were all quietly waiting for the results to be announced.

Guo Jiahe leaned on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, as if the ranking tonight had nothing to do with him.

"Don't sit over here!"

When Guo Jiahe saw Lin Zhixing coming back after hosting the meeting and looking like he wanted to sit next to him, he recalled the bad things that had happened before and quickly moved aside as if avoiding the plague god.

Lin Zhixing glanced at him, said nothing, shrugged his shoulders, and silently walked to Dong Chen's side and sat down.

It’s over. A bad luck post has irritated the child…

Three minutes later...

The staff handed an envelope to Hong Bo, who opened it and took a look. He then announced, "Now I will announce the number of on-site votes, and I will announce the number of online votes and rankings later!"

"First place is Fang Jian, second place is Feng Qi Wu Tong, third place is Wang Jia Wei, fourth place is Fei Yue Qi Ji, and fifth place is Guo Jia He."

No way! Lin Zhixing slapped his thigh. He was only one vote away from Fang Jian.

What do these public judges like? They sang "Ten Years"!

But he did not lose heart, knowing that online popularity votes might help him turn things around.

Seeing that he was indeed at the bottom of the list, Guo Jiahe's tense nerves finally relaxed. He leaned his head on the sofa, closed his eyes, and accepted the reality calmly.

"Here is the online voting!"

"First place was Feng Qi Wu Tong with 220,000 votes, second place was Fang Jian with 150,000 votes, third place was Guo Jia He with 130,000 votes, fourth place was Wang Jia Wei with 80,000 votes, and fifth place was Fei Yue Qi Ji with 70,000 votes."

So many tickets? Are you kidding!

Dong Chen and Ji Yu became nervous when they saw Guo Jiahe's poor performance and his exaggerated online popularity.

“Don’t be the last one!”

The two put their hands together and prayed silently in their hearts.

Hong Bo raised his voice and announced the final ranking: "The final ranking is: Feng Qi Wu Tong first, Fang Jian second, Wang Jiawei third, Fei Yue Miracle fourth, and Guo Jiahe fifth."

After hearing this, Dong Chen and Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh yeah!"

Lin Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth. Just as he expected, he managed to overtake others by relying on his online popularity.

“Ten Years” deserves the title!”

The audience in the live broadcast room were moved by the song and left comments to celebrate for Feng Qi Wu Tong.

Soon, it was time for the topic selection that the audience had been looking forward to.

The staff brought a box containing song selections, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Hong Bo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The topic for the next issue will be drawn by tonight's first place winner Feng Qi Wu Tong!"

"good."

Lin Zhixing rubbed his hands, stood up, walked to the cardboard box, rolled up his sleeves and reached out to touch it.

The camera gave a close-up of him drawing the lot. When the slip was unfolded, there were two words written on it.

"Inspirational".
