Chapter 355 Nocturne

Chapter 355 Nocturne

The stage lights flickered.

"Come on August Miracle!"

"Eliminate Feiyue Miracle and stay on this stage!"

Amid the anticipation of her fans, Guan Yue lifted her light blue skirt and sat upright in front of the double-keyboard electronic piano.

After exchanging eye contact with her partner Guan Hai, she slowly raised her slender wrist, then slammed her fingertips on the keys, and beautiful notes echoed.

After playing for a short while, she raised her foot and stepped on the bottom keys of the double keyboard, and the beautiful melody suddenly had rich layers.

Guan Hai also raised the microphone at the right time and began to sing.

The song "Chinese Style" they sang tonight is a song with ethnic style. Guan Hai's voice is loud and clear, while Guan Yue's voice is soft and beautiful.

Working together, they provide the audience with a beautiful audio-visual experience.

At the climax of the song, Guan Yue's footwork was as astonishing as "Lingbo Weibu".

The audience will feel the speed of her running on tiptoe and the passion bursting out of her body and mind. It seems that every pulse in her body is beating to her rhythm. They can feel her irrepressible passion on stage and her surging expressiveness.

Coupled with her partner Guan Hai's high-pitched performance, the whole stage was instantly ignited and the atmosphere continued to rise.

Player seats.

As a spectator, Lin Zhixing couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Guan Yue's superb "footwork".

One can imagine the hard work and sweat she put in behind the scenes. Without her extraordinary pursuit and hard training, she would never be able to present top-notch performances and audio-visual enjoyment.

Although they haven't finished singing at this moment, with such a super exciting performance, the outcome is probably already decided. If nothing unexpected happens, Dong Chen and Ji Yu will be eliminated regretfully.

"Why……"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu looked at each other.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, judging from his current performance, he was most likely out. The DJ's live atmosphere just now was not as exciting as theirs at this moment.

Although reaching the round of 16 has exceeded our initial expectations, it is hard not to feel frustrated at this moment.

…

Soon, they finished the performance brilliantly.

Their excellent performance won them thunderous applause and praise.

"Excellent! You guys are my favorite group!"

"It was very enjoyable. Not only did I enjoy the music, but I also enjoyed a performance of the organ. This was the first time I had seen this instrument!"

“Advance, advance!!!”

Guan Hai and Guan Yue, who were in the center of the stage, smiled and waved to the fans in response.

They were very satisfied with the performance just now and were 100% sure that they could win the Miracle Leap.

“Thanks for the wonderful performance of August Miracle!”

The host Wang Bing walked back to the stage and said, "Now, please invite the five judges to comment on their performances!"

The camera rotates.

“Great show!”

Zhang A-mei held up the "A rating" scoreboard and praised: "Your performance style is really rare in the music circle. If you maintain this feature, it is only a matter of time before you can capture a market suitable for all ages."

Such high evaluation drew applause from the audience, and Guan Hai and Guan Yue on the stage also smiled brightly.

Afterwards, the other four judges praised their performance and raised the "A rating" scoreboard.

The five "A ratings" results tonight were beyond their expectations. They could no longer suppress the smile on their faces and laughed and high-fived in celebration.

"Awesome, you deserve this achievement!"

"Advanced, yeah yeah yeah!"

"Congratulations, keep up the good work!"

The audience was boiling with excitement, and fans applauded and congratulated enthusiastically, with the applause echoing in the recording hall for a long time.

On the contrary, the fans who supported the miracle of leaping were depressed. It was so sad to see the contestant they supported was about to leave the stage.

Player seats.

Dong Chen and Ji Yu looked at each other, held each other's hands, and encouraged each other.

Getting here has already exceeded my expectations, and I am very satisfied with my performance tonight. That’s enough. I have to learn to be content and let go.

"You guys performed really well tonight!"

Lin Zhixing and Song Ge also turned around to offer their condolences.

…

Center stage.

The host Wang Bing raised his voice and shouted, "Congratulations on the success of the August Miracle Challenge!"

Warm applause rang out again.

Wang Bing handed the microphone to Dong Chen and said, "Flying over the Miracle, you are about to leave this stage. Do you have anything to say to everyone?"

Dong Chen took the microphone, smiled with relief, and said: "Thank you to the fans for your continued support, and thank you to Fengqi Wutong. Without their help, we might have been eliminated long ago..."

After some heartfelt words of gratitude, Dong Chen and Ji Yu waved goodbye and left the stage.

Lin Zhixing, who was sitting in the first row, watched their dejected backs as they left the stage, sighed softly, and then his eyes fell on Guan Hai and Guan Yue.

In the next issue, he decided to challenge the August Miracle for them.

…

Center stage.

"Who is the next singer to perform? Please look at the big screen!"

The contestants and the audience followed the direction of the host Wang Bing's finger and fell on the big screen on the stage.

The scrolling speed of the players' portraits slowed down and eventually stopped, and the information of the players who were about to appear appeared.

【Chapter 7 of the Day】

【Singer: Zhou Luo】

【Lyrics: Zhou Luo】

【Composer: Zhou Luo】

【Arranger: Zhou Luo】

After the song information appeared, the audience was in an uproar.

"Wow, this song by Zhou Luo is my favorite!"

"You came at the right time today. Luo Ge won the Golden Melody Award for Best Male Singer with this song!"

"Isn't it a bit early to bring out this song tonight? Do we need to work on it in advance?"

"Come on, Luoge!"

Amid the warm applause of fans, Zhou Luo walked confidently and calmly to the center of the stage and stood under the spotlight.

After taking a deep breath, he nodded to the music teacher on the side of the stage.

The fast-paced dynamic melody flowed out, brightening people's eyes, and he raised the microphone and began to sing.

His singing style is basically unconventional and he has basically no professional training.

Although the singing style is ordinary, it has its own characteristics.

He has an excellent vocal range, which is among the top keys for male singers.

His sense of rhythm is one of his strong points, which is unique in the Chinese music scene. Almost no one else can handle fast-tempo songs like he does.

Rap songs allow him to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, like a dragon entering the sea, stirring up a thousand waves in an instant.

Player seats.

“Not bad!”

Lin Zhixing closed his eyes and listened attentively.

He felt that Zhou Luo's performance tonight was the best since he participated in the Spring Festival Music Gala. It was obvious that he attached great importance to tonight's competition.

His rap level is indeed one of the best in Taiwan. His level is completely different from those who were on "I Am the King of Rap".

If he had been allowed to participate in that show, he would have had a chance to win the title of "King of Rap".

…

Center stage.

At the climax of the song, Zhou Luo's outstanding performance made the atmosphere on the scene no less than that of August Miracle, and fans were thrilled.

"It was great to listen to. The live performance of this song was so enjoyable!"

"This is what rap is all about! It's such an audio-visual enjoyment to listen to it!"

"Come on, you must advance to the next level. I want to hear you sing many, many more songs!"

Soon, Zhou Luo's excellent singing ended as the audience was still reluctant to leave. The whole song was flawless and there was no flaw to be found.

Under the spotlight, Zhou Luo slowly put down the microphone, took a deep breath, and then his eyes fell on Lin Zhixing in the first row. He thought to himself, "This is me at my strongest, without reservation!"

Eye to eye…

Lin Zhixing looked at his gaze and thought to himself, "I admit that you sing well, but you met me in the shower. I'm sorry, you still need to practice."

The host Wang Bing walked back to the stage and said, "Thank you Zhou Luo for your wonderful performance. Now, please invite the five judges to comment on Zhou Luo's performance!"

The camera rotates.

Li Zonghua held up the "A rating" scoreboard and said: "You are one of the best rappers I have ever seen. Your performance tonight was perfect. Keep it up and bring us better works!"

Of the other four judges, Wu Boqiang did not like Zhou Luo's unclear pronunciation and gave him a "B rating". The other three judges gave him an "A rating".

"Who will be the next singer to perform? Please look at the big screen..."

"Wait!"

In the contestant seats, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge stood up, pointed at Zhou Luo in the center of the stage, and said seriously: "We want to use the challenge right to challenge Zhou Luo!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience.

"Wow, this is a big news! Feng Qi Wu Tong has really taken action against another singer from the New Four Heavenly Kings!"

"Will Zhou Luo follow in the footsteps of Tao Ji and Zhang Yuanzhou?"

"Come on, you must advance!"

"Keep working hard for the Four Heavenly Kings!"

…

"good!"

The host Wang Bing nodded, raised the microphone and introduced to the audience: "Feng Qi Wu Tong challenges Zhou Luo. They are both A-rated singers in the first row. The winner stays and the loser leaves!"

"Now, please welcome Feng Qi Wu Tong to perform the song "Nocturne". Please welcome her with applause!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the song information appeared on the screen.

【Nocturne】

【Singer: Feng Qi Wu Tong】

【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】

【Composition: Lin Zhixing】

【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】

After the song information appeared, applause broke out again from the audience.

"It's a new song. I'm really looking forward to it! Come on Fengqi Wutong!"

…

"Dove, we're going to win tonight, right?"

"certainly!"

After Lin Zhixing and Song Ge encouraged each other, they walked onto the stage one after another with firm steps and stood in the center of the stage under the spotlight.

Lin Zhixing's eyes lit up when he stepped onto the stage.

A cylindrical golden luminous object fell from the place where Zhou Luo had just been singing.

The moment my toes touched...

【bite!】

[Rock proficiency +5 points. ]

【Current: Rock A (6/100). 】

“Wuhu, an unexpected gain!”

…

Center stage.

Under the spotlight, Lin Zhixing prepared himself for the moment and nodded to the staff playing music, confirming that he was ready.

With a "sizzle" sound, like the interference sound of a radio FM, the prelude of "Nocturne" sounded, and the sad atmosphere invaded the emotions of the audience little by little. As one of the songs that kills with a prelude, the prelude alone shocked everyone.

The live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments.

“This is the first song that I fell in love with just by the intro!”

"I think this is one of the best preludes in the world. I fell in love with it within 3 seconds of listening to it."

"Lin Zhixing, you are the musical poet of this era!"

…

When it came to the main part of the song, Lin Zhixing slowly raised the microphone and began to sing.

"A swarm of bloodthirsty ants is attracted to the carrion"

"I look at the lonely scenery expressionlessly"

"After losing you, the love and hate become clear"

"What's the point of caring about losing you?"

His deep voice is like a narration, slowly laying the foundation for the sadness in the song, allowing the audience to gradually fall into past memories...

“When doves no longer symbolize peace”

“I was finally reminded”

“The vultures are being fed in the square”

"I use beautiful rhymes to describe the love that has been plundered"

Player seats.

Zhou Luo only listened to a short section and his brows gradually furrowed.

It's a very fast rap, and the melody of this rap sounds like the protagonist is constantly expressing his helplessness and disappointment.

This song is first-rate in terms of arrangement, lyrics, rap, and recitation. It seems that he really takes the duel with himself seriously.

"Ah, dark clouds are beginning to cover the unclean night."

"The echoes of the funeral in the park are flying all over the sky"

"The white rose I gave you withered in the pure black environment"

"The crows were eerily quiet on the branches"

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

Because the lover has left, there is nothing to care about anymore. Ants are bloodthirsty, pigeons are vultures, roses have lost their red color, crows can't bear to cry, the garden is full of dragonflies with broken wings, and there is no light in the sky above.

Fang Wenshan's lyrics are very landscape-like, beautiful, but also poignant and sharp. In the hearts of those listeners at that time, especially when Jay Chou's main target group was still students, they were all shocked.

Barrages of comments appeared in the live broadcast room.

"It's really scary to think about it. The vultures are being fed in the square. Are there corpses everywhere in the square?"

"Like! If not for anything else, then for the delicate and desperate numbness in the song. There are ants attracted by rotting meat in the park, and there are scattered dragonflies in the forest. But because you are not here, they are all meaningless. For your departure, my way of mourning is very silent. It is hard not to feel involved in such a song, even if you don't have such a story."

“It really has a sense of classical seriousness that draws the audience in, and a solemnity like a person dying in the cold winter.”

"The lyrics of this song are beautiful and extreme, but they are not pretentious or flowery."

"I personally think the lyrics are amazing! They describe the grief of losing a loved one to the extreme, and the melody is very high-level, just indescribably beautiful...very catchy!"

…

When the chorus came, Lin Zhixing put down the microphone and Song Ge raised it to sing.

"Play Chopin's Nocturne for You"

"In Memory of My Dead Love"

"Sound like the night wind"

“Heartbreak sounds good”

The sudden change in singing style caught the audience's attention, and Song Ge's voice gave the song a new flavor.

"What? This song is more than just rap?"

“The chorus of this song is so beautiful!”

…

“Hands are very light on the keyboard”

“I am very careful in my thoughts”

"The place where you are buried is called the Netherworld"

Player seats.

Zhou Luo’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.

As the winner of the title of "King of Rap", Lin Zhixing's rapping ability is impeccable, and his rhythm, beat and pronunciation are all first-rate.

It was already difficult to deal with him, and now he has the excellent cooperation of his partner.

What a headache!!! (End of this chapter)
