Chapter 121: Ruo Huang is invincible, I surrender! (Two in one)
The singers in the show have already started drawing lots.
As a senior, Lin Youxi was still the first to be pushed out to draw lots.
"Number 1." Lin Youxi took a look at the ball.
This means that Lin Youxi will be the first group to appear in this episode.
Next was Cai Wei, who drew number 3.
Then Cui Yongyan said: "Also number 3."
The opponents of the third group were quickly determined.
The next person to draw lots should have been Song Jie, but she insisted on nominating Xia Anruo to draw lots because Xia Anruo had beaten her in the last round and ranked higher than her in the resurrection match.
Xia Anruo couldn't refuse and had to step forward and take out a ball: "Number 2."
Song Jie was stunned when she saw it: "It's over, I'm dead, right?"
Now the two balls left in the box are either number 1 or number 2, which means Song Jie will definitely face Lin Youxi or Xia Anruo.
She can't win any of these now.
She had already been crushed by Xia Anruo in the last resurrection match, and she estimated that the situation would not be much better this time.
As for Lin Youxi...
I beat the diva? Really?
Are you finally going to pay back the luck you overdrew last time this time?
"Go ahead and smoke. You'll die sooner or later." Cui Yongyan laughed beside him.
Song Jie gave up struggling after hearing this and simply took out an item from the box: "Number 1."
Song Jie's opponent is Lin Youxi.
A veritable death group.
If I drew An Ruo, I could still hope that Xia An Ruo might not be able to perform a good song in this episode, but if I drew Lin Youxi, there is no hope at all.
Song Jie's eyes went dark.
Well, we’ll see you in the resurrection match again.
But since number 1 was drawn by Song Jie, the last ball left is naturally number 2.
Everyone turned their eyes to Meiya. Everyone knew about her previous remarks against Xia Anruo. This time the two of them really came into conflict. This was going to be a good show to watch.
Barrage: "Oh my god, is this really the case?"
"Did the production team do this on purpose?"
"Is there a script for this lottery? How can it be such a coincidence?"
Su Qing was also surprised to see the result and smiled: "Does Teacher Meiya want to draw the remaining ball again?"
"No thanks." Miya smiled.
"The draw result is very interesting." Su Qing said with high emotional intelligence.
Those who don't know the truth probably think that the program production team deliberately created conflicts for the show effect. After all, this is too much of a coincidence.
But everyone at the scene knew very well that the draw was completely random and unscripted, and no one had expected that the two would actually face off.
"In the last episode, we witnessed the strength of teacher An Ruo's original songs. This time, teacher Mei Ya also came with teacher Li Quan's new song. Everyone is looking forward to who will be better?" Su Qing said.
"I think An Ruo will win. After all, Mei Ya hasn't sung for so many years, so her singing skills are definitely not up to par. An Ruo is still an active singer no matter what."
"But Meiya brought Teacher Li Quan's new song this time. I can't think of how I can lose."
"What's wrong with Li Quan? The songs he wrote are not necessarily better than the ones Tu Dou wrote for An Ruo."
"Li Quan can't always write masterpieces. The five songs Tudou has written so far are all masterpieces."
"Tudou has only written five songs, which are not even a fraction of the number of songs written by Li Quan. You let that Tudou write fifty songs and they are all excellent and they speak for themselves."
"You are all discussing whose song is of higher quality. Haven't you ever thought that if An Ruo's song this time is not as good as the last one, most people will be disappointed even if the song is good. Mei Ya doesn't have such concerns. As long as the song is not bad, it will be easier to attract votes."
"That makes sense. Everyone's expectations for An Ruo have been raised very high in the last episode. If she goes a little wrong in this episode, it could lead to a setback."
"Doesn't that mean An Ruo is going to lose?"
Netizens began to analyze the winning rate of the two players.
While the discussion was going on in the comments, the first match soon began, with Lin Youxi competing against Song Jie.
Although Song Jie had given her 100% effort in this contest, the result was still no surprise as she won by a landslide victory with Lin Youxi having an advantage of more than 80 votes.
Song Jie entered the revival match for the second time.
As the winner of the first group was decided, Su Qing took the stage again: "Congratulations to Teacher Youxi for successfully advancing again. The next group to appear is the group of contestants we are all looking forward to. I wonder what kind of surprises they will bring us? Please welcome the first singer of the second group - Meiya!"
Amidst the warm applause from the audience, Miya appeared on stage in a snow-white long dress. She was just in her early thirties and was at her most charming.
"Sister Meiya is so beautiful!"
"I get Meiya's looks. I love her."
"Wake up, she's already married."
"A married woman, that's even better."
I have to say that although Meiya cannot compare to Xia Anruo in terms of appearance, her wife attributes and the charm of a mature young woman are indeed incomparable to Xia Anruo.
Young people don't know how good young women are, and mistake young girls for treasures.
I have to say that many comrades still like this.
On the stage, music slowly started playing.
As the prelude ended, Miya picked up the microphone and finally spoke.
Her voice is very sweet, and the song written by Li Quan is a love song with a brisk beat and catchy lyrics. It is really perfect for Meiya to sing.
I can only say that this is a new song that Li Quan specially tailored for his wife, and it fully brings out Miya's vocal conditions.
"This song is very interesting, and the melody is a bit magical." Backstage, Cui Yongyan's eyes lit up after hearing this song.
"It's a very nice love song, and it sounds a bit sweet." Lin Youxi also nodded affirmatively.
"But I feel that the quality of this song is still a little bit behind An Ruo's two original songs in the previous episode. Can it win?" Although Cai Wei also thought that the song was very nice, she always felt that it was still inferior to the high-quality songs.
"Please, don't forget the mechanism of our competition. It's not about who has the better song, but who can sing better and get the votes of the judges. This song may not be a masterpiece in terms of its own quality, but the melody of this song becomes more and more addictive. If the judges get addicted to it, they might vote for her." Song Jie reminded.
The quality of the competition songs is not the most important thing. The key is whether they can cater to the aesthetic tastes of the 500 judges present.
This is also the reason why many singers do not choose to cover popular songs when participating in competitions. Instead, they can choose to cover unpopular songs in their own style, or even surpass the surprise brought by the original singer, which can win the recognition of the jury.
At this time, there was endless discussion about this song on the barrage:
"This song is so addictive, what should I do if I can't stop listening to it?"
"Oh no, the melody of this song is all in my head now."
"It sounds so good and sweet."
"This is what Teacher Li Quan wrote for Sister Meiya. The lyrics are full of love."
"Is this a show of affection? I'll drink this dog food first as a token of my respect."
"But this song feels of average quality and can't be considered a fine song."
"What do you think of high-quality songs being everywhere? Meiya's song is already of very high quality, right?"
"It's fine as long as it sounds good. I just want to ask you if it's brainwashing or not?" "The lyrics of this song are catchy and the rhythm is brisk. It's very good."
"An Ruo will be under pressure next. I don't know if she can come up with another excellent song. Otherwise, she may not win."
"It's difficult. If An Ruo's song is of a slightly lower quality, it will probably be a failure."
"An Ruo has just been provoked. If she loses this match, won't she lose all face?"
Many people don't seem to be very optimistic about Xia Anruo's situation.
“In fact, Meiya’s song should be very successful as a commercial song. Although the quality is not top-notch, this catchy, simple and pleasant style is easier to sing and more likely to gain public favor.” Lin Youxi analyzed while listening to Meiya’s singing on the stage.
"Also, I originally thought that Meiya's singing skills would not be as good as before, but now it sounds like she hasn't deteriorated much. I guess she has already practiced in advance to prepare for her comeback." Cai Wei also nodded.
"Hey, do you think Meiya can really beat Anruo this time?" Cui Yongyan asked curiously.
"It's hard to say." Lin Youxi said.
"Don't do that kind of thing. An Ruo comes to the resurrection match again. Does she still want me to live?" Song Jie screamed when she heard it.
The other singers were all happy.
Song Jie is traumatized by the fact that she was crushed by An Ruo in the resurrection match last time. If An Ruo enters the resurrection match again, the possibility of Song Jie advancing will be even lower.
As the singers laughed, Miya sang the last line of the lyrics and bowed to the audience.
There was warm applause and cheers from the audience, and it was obvious that they were very satisfied with Meiya's song.
Su Qing walked onto the stage amid applause, picked up the microphone and asked Meiya, "Teacher Meiya, can you tell us the title of this song?"
"'The Main Theme of Love' was written specially for me by my husband." Meiya smiled calmly, with a hint of pride in her smile.
"Wow, isn't it a bad idea to show off your affection in public like this?" Su Qing joked, "But I can really feel Teacher Li Quan's love for you from this song. Thank you Teacher Meiya for the wonderful performance!"
After Meiya left the stage, Su Qing spoke again: "I don't think I need to say much about the next one, right? I think everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. Let's welcome our much-anticipated singer, An Ruo, with applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause and cheers.
It is obvious that Xia Anruo's popularity has increased a lot after the last episode. Just from her appearance on stage, one can hear the cheers and applause from the audience are much more enthusiastic than before.
Dazzling lights shone on the stage, and Xia Anruo walked gracefully to the center of the stage with her long, straight legs.
Comment: "This is the goddess. Who is the face of the singing king?"
"An Ruo, I love you!"
"An Ruoke must not lose, otherwise who will I find pleasing to the eye?"
"Miya is also very beautiful."
"Come on, in terms of looks, An Ruo is better than Mei Ya!"
"Miaomao, I choose to take them all."
The audience in the camera were also looking forward to it, obviously looking forward to Xia Anruo's next performance.
Will it be the same as the last episode, where everyone will be shocked by the original exquisite songs, or will it be the stepping stone for Meiya’s comeback due to her lack of talent?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xia Anruo slowly opened her mouth, her clear and ethereal voice spreading throughout the audience:
“Finally made the decision.”
"I don't care what others say."
"As long as you are equally sure."
"I'm willing to follow you to the ends of the earth."
"I know it's not easy."
"My mind keeps trying to convince myself."
"I'm most afraid that you'll suddenly say you want to give up."
Backstage, the singers who were originally discussing who might win suddenly fell silent.
Cui Yongyan opened his eyes wide, Cai Wei's face was full of amazement, Song Jie didn't know for a moment whether she should be lucky or unlucky, and the queen Lin Youxi also opened her mouth slightly, amazed at the song.
As a professional singer, I can tell the quality of a song just by listening to the beginning.
Well, another masterpiece!
It is still a song of even higher quality than the previous one.
Meiya stared at Xia Anruo's figure in the audience, her hands clenched unconsciously. Such a beautiful song sounded so harsh.
Xia Anruo paused for a moment, then changed the tune and entered the chorus:
“Love really does require courage.”
"Come face the gossip."
"As long as you give me a look of affirmation."
“My love has meaning.”
“We all need courage.”
"Believe that we will be together."
"I can feel you in the crowds."
"Put your sincerity in my palm."
Now all the singers looked at each other and felt that there was no need to discuss it.
If Meiya's song "The Main Theme of Love" captured people's hearts with its catchy lyrics and melodies, then the song sung by Xia Anruo now shocked the hearts of everyone present from the lyrics to the melody to the intention.
Although both are love songs, this song surpasses "The Main Theme of Love" in all aspects and is a crushing victory in terms of quality.
The comments exploded: "This song, my god!"
"I can only say: Ruo Huang is invincible, I surrender!"
"It really gives me a surprise every time I appear on stage."
"These high-quality songs are really becoming commonplace now. Three high-quality songs in two episodes, is it really free?"
"I guess all the Meiya people are stupid, hahaha."
"I hit a wall right after my comeback, Le."
"If only I had heard this song earlier, I wouldn't have broken up with my first love."
"There's a story ahead, tell me in detail."
When the song ended, even without voting, everyone knew that this was another victory for An Ruo.
The audience stood up and applauded loudly and continuously.
Su Qing walked onto the stage with a big smile on her face: "Thank you Teacher An Ruo for bringing us this original song again. As usual, I will ask for the song title for everyone."
"The name of this song is "Courage". I hope that when you meet someone you like, you will be brave enough to love them and not leave any regrets." Xia Anruo breathed lightly and looked at the camera.
This sentence is not only said to the audience, but also seems to be said to myself.
"Love requires courage, and so does everything. Thank you, Teacher An Ruo, for bringing us this song of courage. Next is the second round of voting. Please invite Teacher Mei Ya to come on stage to witness the voting results."
Meiya went on stage and stood with Xia Anruo, watching the votes on the big screen rise alternately.
Final vote count:
Meiya: 203 votes.
An Ruo: 297 votes.
A crushing victory without any suspense!
