Chapter 144: What will you do if Sister An Ruo is kidnapped by Tu Dou? (Two in One)
The rules of this final are different from previous ones. The old method of two-on-two PK is no longer used. Instead, the order of each singer's performance is determined by drawing lots.
The schedule of the final episode has also changed. The six singers will not immediately compete after the draw.
The program team deliberately added a new exhibition match segment before the exciting finals.
It not only warms up for the finals, but also provides each singer with a valuable opportunity to show off, allowing them to have more screen time in the final episode and present a wonderful audio-visual feast for fans.
After the performance, each singer will be ranked according to the number of votes from the live audience, and this ranking will directly determine the order of performance in the official finals.
The voting rights in the final stage will not only be in the hands of the audience on site, but also in the hands of everyone watching the live broadcast in front of the screen.
Everyone can participate in the voting through live broadcast and jointly select the champion of this season in their minds.
The sense of participation is full.
On the screen, the draw results for the exhibition match were quickly announced, and the order was: Song Jie, Luo Yu, An Ruo, Jiang Xinyan, Lin Youxi, and Xu Dongqing.
"No way, I'm the first one to go on stage?" Song Jie widened her eyes when she saw the result of the draw.
"Isn't it good to be the first one to go on stage?" Jiang Xinyan said with a smile.
"I'm the first one to come up, and the pressure is too great." Song Jie said with a bitter face.
"You got it wrong. The last one to go on stage has the most pressure. You don't have to worry about the rest after you sing first. But I'm going on stage after Sister Youxi, and it would be embarrassing if I didn't sing as well." Xu Dongqing complained.
"So I'm still stuck between An Ruo and Sister Youxi, isn't that even more miserable?" Jiang Xinyan spread her hands.
"Why do you all make An Ruo and I sound like we are monsters?" Lin Youxi pointed at them and said with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Luo Yu agreed in a teasing tone.
"This is just an exhibition match, why are you so nervous?" Xia Anruo said with a smile.
"Hey, look at this, this is the calmness that comes from a strong person." Song Jie said deliberately.
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed.
When the singers were ready, the host Su Qing announced loudly: "Next, please welcome our first singer, Song Jie!"
Amid the audience's warm applause, Song Jie walked onto the stage in a white dress.
The song she sang this time was a light and lyrical song. Her melodious and light voice blended perfectly with the song, which was very appealing and successfully ignited the atmosphere at the opening.
The exhibition match was meant to warm up the audience, and Song Jie perfectly completed her task of heating up the atmosphere at the opening.
The audience and her fans were applauding:
"Sounds good!"
"After so many episodes, Song Jie feels her singing skills have improved."
"Hurry, hurry, vote."
Under Su Qing's chairmanship, the voting results were announced: 446 votes.
"Okay, the voting results are out. It's a very good number of votes. Let's give a round of applause to Teacher Song Jie." Su Qing said with a smile while looking at the screen.
Amid the cheers of fans, Song Jie bowed and left the stage.
Her vote count is currently ranked first.
Luo Yu came on next and ranked first with 456 votes, surpassing Song Jie by just ten votes.
With Luo Yu's exit, it means that it is finally Xia Anruo's turn to appear on the stage.
All the audience below were looking forward to it.
After much anticipation, Xia Anruo finally made her appearance in a stunning black dress amid the audience's cheers.
"Ahhh, Sister An Ruo is on stage!" Chu Wanqing screamed from the audience.
Xia Anruo's fans below were also waving fluorescent boards and fluorescent sticks vigorously:
"An Ruo, I love you!"
"An Ruo is so beautiful!"
"What a nice view!"
"It was worth the effort I put into getting the tickets. It's much better in real life than on the screen."
"It's so beautiful, Mom, I'm in love!"
Chu Ze hugged his chest and looked at Xia Anruo's stunning figure on the stage with a smile on his face. Listening to the bunch of big men around him shouting and screaming like they were in heat, Chu Ze felt secretly happy.
Looks good, right?
My wife!
As the melodious prelude on the stage ended, Xia Anruo picked up the microphone and slowly spoke:
"In those fleeting years, we said it several times, and we will delay it after we meet again."
"It's a pity that everyone has it. Love is not just one thing. It's eloquent on the seven emotions."
"In those hurried years, we made promises that were too much to bear."
“Just wait for others to deliver.”
"No wonder the kiss marks haven't accumulated into calluses yet."
"Even if I hibernate, I still cannot become an immortal."
As soon as the song started, the audience opened their mouths in surprise.
There is no doubt that this is another original and high-quality song. It is better to say that all the audience and fans have already reached a consensus that Xia Anruo’s new song must be an original and high-quality song. They are already accustomed to it. It would be strange if it were not.
But most people were still a little surprised, not because it was another excellent song, but because it was just an exhibition match.
Isn't it a bit unnecessary to bring out such a good song in a performance?
It feels like using a cannon to blast mosquitoes.
"This song has a great melody and the lyrics are very resonant." Luo Yu nodded as he listened backstage.
"An Ruo's voice is very suitable for this song." Lin Youxi praised.
"But why did An Ruo perform an original song in the performance competition?" Jiang Xinyan was quite surprised.
Generally speaking, in this kind of performance match to warm up the audience, one must retain one's strength, and good songs should be put in the finals.
"They are so willful because they have so many excellent songs, haha." Song Jie laughed.
"Yeah, if I had so many great songs, let alone the performance competition, I would have to sing a song in the interview session." Xu Dongqing also laughed.
"Tsk tsk, An Ruo is still too young and has no idea about strategy. She sang such a good song in the exhibition match. She whetted the audience's appetite right from the start. It will be hard to canvass votes for the final." Luo Yu shook his head.
Just like serving dishes starts with appetizers, the quality of the dishes served must improve little by little so as to highlight the deliciousness of the main course that follows.
If you serve good dishes at the beginning, the subsequent dishes, even if they are equally delicious, will not be surprising.
The other singers nodded in agreement.
Xia Anruo continued singing on the stage.
"If we can't have red eyes when we meet again, can we still have red faces?"
"Just like that hasty year, we will be together forever."
"Such a beautiful rumor."
"If the past is still worth cherishing, don't let go of it too quickly."
"Who is willing to be like this, without any attachment or ties to each other."
"We owe each other, otherwise why would we remember each other?"
Xia Anruo also demonstrated her excellent singing skills and emotional expression ability when singing this song.
Her understated beginning was touching, and both her pronunciation and breath transitions were beautiful.
Especially in the chorus, her vibrato was handled perfectly and the emotions were well integrated.
Even Chu Ze who was listening to the song in the audience couldn't help but praise it highly. This performance was perfect and was on par with the original singer Faye Wong.
too strong!
Xia Anruo's song "Those Years in a Hurry" won the applause of the whole audience. Amid the cheers, Su Qing also announced Xia Anruo's number of votes: 483 votes.
Very high vote count.
He surpassed Luo Yu by nearly 30 votes and is currently ranked first. "An Ruo has made obvious progress in singing after so many episodes!"
"You sing so steadily, and you're getting better and better."
“This song is so beautiful and has a lot of rhythm.”
"Anything produced by Anruo must be top quality!"
"The song in the exhibition match was so good, the song in the final must be amazing."
"looking forward to!"
Chu Wanqing waved his light stick and cheered for Xia Anruo crazily: "This song is so nice, Dad, don't you think so?"
"Nonsense, are there any bad songs by An Ruo?" Chu Mingtao said as a matter of course.
"Was this song also written by Tu Dou, Sister An Ruo's exclusive lyricist and composer?" Chu Wanqing turned around and asked Chu Ze.
"Yes." Chu Ze nodded.
"Wow, this potato is amazing. Do you know him, brother?" Chu Wanqing asked excitedly.
"Of course I do."
“So is this potato male or female?”
"male."
"Are you handsome?"
"As handsome as I am, why are you asking this?"
"Then you have to be careful. That Potato is so talented. What if Sister An Ruo falls in love with someone else one day?" Chu Wanqing whispered in Chu Ze's ear and reminded him.
"..."
Am I falling in love with someone else?
It seems that it is not impossible, unlock a new vest to play.
"You don't have to worry about this, little girl." Chu Ze glanced at her.
"I'm reminding you with good intentions, but you don't even appreciate it." Chu Wanqing rarely thought about Chu Ze from the bottom of her heart.
I finally have a superstar sister-in-law, I can’t let her go.
Chu Ze tilted his head slightly and looked at Chu Wanqing with a playful smile: "Why do you sound like you don't trust your sister An Ruo?"
"Who said that? I'm just taking precautions! Think about it, Sister An Ruo is so beautiful, there's no guarantee that Tu Dou also has feelings for Sister An Ruo. Moreover, he is the official composer of the songwriter, and he must have frequent contact with Sister An Ruo. With all this going on, don't you feel a sense of crisis?" Chu Wanqing gestured with his hands.
"No." Chu Ze replied without hesitation.
"Are you so confident? Wait until Sister An Ruo is kidnapped by Tu Dou and see what you will do?" Chu Wanqing muttered.
Chu Ze chuckled.
That is to say, is there a possibility that the potato is actually me, your brother?
After Xia Anruo left the stage, the remaining singers came on stage one after another.
After the last singer Xu Dongqing finished singing, the rankings of all singers were completely determined:
An Ruo ranked first with 483 votes, followed by Lin Youxi with 481 votes, only a slight difference of two votes in second place. Following her were Jiang Xinyan, Luo Yu, Song Jie and Xu Dongqing.
Because it was a performance competition, the singers didn't particularly care about the ranking, but their fans on the barrage did argue:
"An Ruo is indeed number one, my wife is amazing!"
“The champion is booked!”
"I've long said that the Queen is no match for my goddess, hahahaha."
"An Ruo fans, that's enough. The queen didn't even put in any effort. Just let her play the exhibition match casually. Look how you show off."
"I didn't give my best and I was only two votes short. If I gave my best, there would be no doubt that I would win."
"The final is the main point, the exhibition match is just for show."
"There must be something fishy going on in this vote. How could my Lao Xu be ranked last?"
When Chu Wanqing saw the final ranking results, she exclaimed, "Sister An Ruo is first, is she sure to win the championship?"
"It's hard to say. Didn't you see that second place Lin Youxi was very close?" Chu Mingtao shook his head.
In this performance, Lin Youxi and other singers were obviously reserved, and their song selection and singing were rather casual.
On the contrary, An Ruo has already brought out her greatest advantage, original songs.
Even so, she was only two votes ahead of Lin Youxi and was unable to create a big gap between her and Lin Youxi.
This is like you have to use up all your skills to barely beat the opponent's basic attack. Then when it's the opponent's turn to use skills or even big moves, won't you be doomed?
I can only say that the queen is worthy of being the queen, and her strength is indeed not to be underestimated.
If Lin Youxi is serious in the final, it will be hard to say who will win.
After this analysis, Chu Mingtao felt that An Ru was in danger.
As the rankings of the exhibition matches were determined, the order of appearance in the finals was also determined.
The higher the ranking, the later the appearance order.
This also means that Xia Anruo will be the last to appear on stage.
After a short intermission, the host Su Qing announced: "Next is the finals that we are looking forward to the most tonight. Who will be the king of singing this season? Please wait and see. Next, please welcome our first contestant, Mr. Xu Dongqing, and welcome him with applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out, and then fireworks exploded on the stage, passionate music sounded, and a very magnetic rap was heard. Xu Dongqing rose up little by little from the elevator in the center of the stage. He looked handsome, and he sang and danced all the way to the front of the stage.
Listening to Xu Dongqing's singing, the singers backstage all opened their mouths in surprise.
"Oh my god, this song by Lao Xu..." Luo Yu stood up.
"It's original, and it's rock!" Lin Youxi nodded.
"Teacher Xu hid it so deeply?" Song Jie was surprised.
No one expected that Xu Dongqing actually wrote an original song as a trump card for the finals. It seemed that he was determined to win the championship.
Moreover, Xu Dongqing's original song happens to be the rock genre that he is best at, and he sings it with ease.
Xu Dongqing was shaking his head on the stage, tapping his limbs to the rhythm, and his voice was deep and high.
The audience in the audience also got excited as they listened, clapping their bodies and dancing uncontrollably to the rhythm.
As soon as the rock song was sung, the whole audience was excited.
Cheers and applause resounded through the sky like a tide. Hundreds of spectators shouted and clapped their hands vigorously, their emotions were warm and excited.
"666."
"Old Xu is awesome, he's worthy of being my husband!"
"This is rock and roll. It makes me so high."
"I haven't heard such exciting rock music for a long time!"
"It's so cool, I can't stop watching it. I want to vote for him."
"Rock and roll is the romance of men. It's much better than those crappy love songs!"
The singers backstage also expressed their feelings.
"This is amazing. This song is of very high quality. It's absolutely a fine rock song."
"The high notes are so steady."
"No way, why do you put pressure on me every day?"
Seeing that Song Jie was about to go on stage next, she felt like cursing.
