Chapter 135 - 130: Initial Dream_i
On stage.
The praises given by the four judges to Tang Yue had pushed the atmosphere of the scene to its peak. Almost all the audience members were ignited, madly shouting the name of another contestant—
This stage, so difficult to take on!
The host could not suppress his excitement: “Unexpectedly, contestant Tang Yue has brought us a new song as beautiful as heavenly music. Her voice is still echoing in my ears. But the next contestant should not be underestimated, let’s welcome Xia Fan with a round of applause!”
The lights flicker.
Xia Fan steps onto the stage.
At this moment, everyone from the director to the staff and the judges were stunned because Xia Fan was dressed too plainly. Normally, contestants should be fully dressed up for the final competition.
What’s going on!”
Backstage, the director was furious.
The staff explained helplessly: “We dressed her very nicely, with earrings and strings of small pearls on her skirt. She must have taken them off herself, we have no idea why.”
The director was helpless.
What’s going on here?
Tang Yue did the same thing just now. She suddenly changed the prepared song before stepping onto the stage.
Thank goodness the song turned out unexpectedly well, so the director didn’t get angry. But his heart was beating wildly, fearing that something would go wrong.
Director, we have a problem!
Just as the director reluctantly accepted Xia Fan’s decision to remove her decorations, the staff member’s shout came into his ear:
Xia Fan’s agent suddenly demands to change the song. We can’t offend Zhao Jue from Starlight, do we change it?”
Change, let her change her song, let her change as she wish! Let her sing whatever she wants!”
The director felt the scene had turned into chaos!
But a contestant’s request to change the song was allowed.
Given that Tang Yue had already changed her song at the last minute, why wouldn’t they allow Xia Fan to do the same?
But in this situation, would it be useful for Xia Fan to change her song?
Meanwhile, under the stage.
The audience were whispering to each other, discussing the song Tang Yue just performed, still not quite recovered from the atmosphere it created.
Most of the audience present are relatively neutral and wouldn’t particularly lean towards either singer.
Their support would go to whoever sang better.
Tang Yue hid her talent pretty deep!
She even sang a new song!”
And it’s especially suitable for her voice!”
Feels similar to Zhao Ying Ge from last year!
Exactly, Zhao Ying Ge’s championship was highly valuable. Actually, Xia Fan is not bad either. I’ve watched many of her performances and have a deep impression of her. It’s just that this is the final. Tang Yue’s trump card is too strong.”
Not only the audience.
Even the judges had a small sigh in their hearts.
Xia Fan had only a slim chance of succeeding.
The suspense in this final round was minimal, especially after Tang Yue took the stage first and completely captivated the audience.
Just then.
The lights started flickering.
A soft piano sound rang out, followed by a drum beat and the progression of various instruments, gradually bringing us into a whole new mood.
This mood even dissipated the impact that the previous song had on the audience.
Xia Fan stood on the stage in her simple attire and began her performance. Her voice, just like her attire, was simply simple:
If pride hadn’t been cruelly shattered by the cold sea of reality
How would one know the effort required to get far
If dreams never hung by a thread on the brink of a cliff
How would one know the persistent ones
possess invisible wings
The audience who had been whispering to each other gradually raised their heads, their conversations ceased in the melody of Xia Fan’s song.
This song, somewhat unfamiliar.
But it seems… quite pleasant?
The four judges once again exchanged looks and then simultaneously straightened up their bodies, startled for a moment.
A new song?
Another new song?
From the intro, it doesn’t seem like a randomly chosen piece. Is Xia Fan trying to combat Tang Yue’s new song with her own new one?
Interesting.
A moment after the initial surprise, the judges became somewhat excited. New song against new song, this final round is even more exciting than they anticipated!
On stage.
Xia Fan’s enunciation was exceptionally clear; her bright voice echoed.
Her voice seemed to contain a streak of defiance, a strength, an unwillingness to concede…
As if something was about to break through the soil, bask in the sunlight, but it was still struggling at the moment. It feels like it was just a tiny bit away, but it’s this tiny bit that made all the audience inexplicably hold their breath.
Plant the seeds of tears in your heart, and a flower of courage will bloom
When weariness strikes, close your eyes and you can smell a scent of fragrance,
It’s like sleeping deeply until the day breaks,
You can walk and hum a song,
With a light pace,
Like a light piercing through the darkness, like a gust of wind blowing the fog away, or like a pair of gentle hands, soothing the unknown wounds.
It was just a moment.
The spectators’ gaze concentrated on the stage.
The expressions of the judges gradually changed.
Xia Fan was dressed very simply, not elaborately like Tang Yue, but her figure seemed to shine, and her voice seamlessly merged with the music, rising bit by bit into the sky:
When you’re down, you always feel the weight of loneliness,
How much you long for someone to offer warmth and lend a shoulder,
I’m so glad the bond we share is so strong,
We weathered through storms, remained connected as usual,
When the high point came, the audience felt the gap within their hearts being gradually filled by this resounding song.
Just like stepping up a staircase!
Xia Fan’s voice was constantly rising. When the emotion reached the second high point, everyone felt a thorough catharsis and release:
The initial dream holds tightly in hand,
The place you want to go most,
How could you turn back half way…
The drawn-out note twisted smoothly, and seemed to pause slightly for the next note. Xia Fan held the microphone with both hands.
At that moment countless lenses roared into action!
The sky full of lights chased the figure on the stage, finally focusing on Xia Fan’s faintly pale knuckles wrapped around the microphone.
Her figure leaning slightly backwards.
Her clear yet unruly voice seemed to rip through everything, her voice surged like a rushing tidal wave, enveloping the vast studio. Everyone felt as if they were basking in the scorching sunlight, their bodies gradually heating up!
Stubborn and piercing!
Thoroughly liberating!
Xia Fan’s gaze finally rested on the sky. Next came an even more exaggerated high note that shocked the audience, this was the emotional climax of the entire song: “The initial dream will surely be reached, longing truly realized, then you can really say you’ve reached Heaven————————————————–
The crowd roared!
Almost at the same time!
The judges abruptly stood up!
As if echoing this scene, the countless audience members erupted in cheers, flashlights spinning rapidly, some audience members also stood up!
Camera three!
The director backstage went crazy. Without worrying whether the stage was in chaos, he instinctively roared with Xia Fan, pointing and commanding the staff from afar:
Keep the spotlight on the singer from the left!
All stage lights follow up!
The audience reaction must catch up!
Close-up on the four judges!
I want to see their expressions! Expressions!
The camera zoomed in.
The judges’ reactions varied.
But it was clear they were all hyped!
When the four judges simultaneously opened their mouths wide, their exaggerated reactions said it all, they completely forgot any sense of image control, which seemed comparable to a constipated expression, the audience’s emotions exploded together—
Wow!
What is this!
I’m going crazy!”
“Ah! Ah! Ah! All! Ah!”
At that moment all their minds were blank, they just lost themselves in the ocean of the song, with almost unconscious screams from the audience one after another, just about ready to jump even if there was a precipice ahead of them!
Some were waving their fists!
Some were clapping their hands until they turned red from the screaming!
In the backstage, Tang Yue widened her eyes, almost forgetting to breathe, and next to her, Xi Mei took a step back in shock, screamed, and twisted her ankle because her high heels were too high.
Only one person.
Was still calm at this moment.
That person was Zhao Jue.
Zhao Jue even wore a smile. In her mind, she suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Xia Fan before she went on stage, it was very simple:
Why did you change the song?
Because it’s Xian Yu’s song.
