Chapter 146: Ancient Style? Bumped into the Gun (Two in One)
Backstage.

Luo Yu closed his eyes and listened carefully.

Jiang Xinyan nodded in amazement: "This ancient style is so tasteful."

"The classical charm is brought out in just two sentences. This is the true ancient style song." Xu Dongqing exclaimed with admiration.

"Is this Sister Youxi's trump card? It's an ancient style song and it's original. It's absolutely a masterpiece. It's not the kind of ancient style that is just filled in to make up the numbers. It's invincible." Song Jie's face was full of disbelief.

too strong.

Ancient style songs are very resonant with the audience, especially young audiences. Who doesn’t like these ancient style songs that are poetic, profound in artistic conception, and have beautiful melodies?

It’s not that other singers haven’t thought about singing ancient style songs, but original ancient style songs cannot be written casually.

Real ancient style songs are very particular about the lyrics and composition. They cannot be called ancient style by simply piling up some gorgeous words and forcing them together. On the contrary, shoddy work will be out of place, arouse the audience's disgust, and be counterproductive.

After all, the audience's requirements for ancient style have always been quite strict.

They understand that if you don't have the skills, you shouldn't take on a job.

There are not many songwriters in the songwriting world who can write excellent ancient style songs. Lin Youxi obviously prepared for this song for the final for a long time and specially invited a talented songwriter to write it.

Lin Youxi's singing voice gradually changes from high to low, quiet and distant, with a long and ancient charm.

Finally, the singing gradually became lower and lower until it disappeared.

At the end of the song, Lin Youxi opened his arms and bowed gracefully to the audience.

Clap clap clap!

The applause was unprecedentedly enthusiastic. Even when the rock music had rocked the whole audience before, it was not as exciting as it is now.

After all, the ancient style and charm can best capture the hearts of the Chinese people.

Even until Lin Youxi left the stage, the audience's applause and cheers continued for a long time, and the enthusiasm was still there.

“This is an ancient style song!”

"After listening to this song, I realized what garbage all those so-called ancient style songs were in the past few years."

"This song is so artistic. This is the charm of ancient style songs."

"We're sure to win, we're sure to win. This song will be a hit. How can we lose?"

"Yes, plus Lin Youxi's singing skills are so perfect that he can really bring out that unique ancient charm. He is already unbeatable."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry and vote!"

"Is this song still human if you don't vote for it?"

Soon, Lin Youxi’s voting results were announced on the big screen: 5.11 million votes!

The gap between the second place Jiang Xinyan and him was nearly 1.5 million votes, which was a cliff-like gap. She truly stood out from the crowd!

He is not at the same level as other singers!

The queen is the queen, she doesn’t just get the title for nothing.

“Isn’t this the championship?”

"Last season's champion only had 4 million votes. This time, Lin Youxi got 1 million more votes than last season's champion. It's a sure win, right?"

"An Ruo is in danger."

"Danger? No more!"

"Yeah, I can't imagine how Lin Youxi lost."

"An Ruo's songs are of very high quality, not as bad as you say."

"An Ruo's song is indeed not bad, but what song is it compared with? Lin Youxi's song is really amazing. It is better than An Ruo's previous songs."

"It's not as good as you guys say. I think the lyrics of this ancient style song are a little off, and it feels a bit flowery."

"You know shit. Do you know ancient Chinese music? If you're so awesome, come and write a song."

"Fuck, I have to know how to cool a refrigerator to evaluate its performance."

"If you don't like it, stop talking. There are still a few ancient style songs worth listening to these days. Go listen to other people's ancient style songs, they are just forced together, with a lot of words and are irritating to the ears. Lin Youxi's song is already the top ancient style song."

"An Ruo originally relied on the advantage of her original songs to make it to the finals, but now every singer in the finals has an original song, so this advantage is gone. She can only rely on her hard skills and the quality of her songs."

"An Ruo is definitely going to lose, but she is a newcomer with little experience. She made it all the way to the finals from the first round and lost to Queen Lin. This record is already brilliant enough."

"What a pity! If An Ruo could win the championship, it would really be a legend."

"How can a newcomer beat the queen so easily? Do you think you can write a cool story?"

Listening to the discussions around him, Chu Wanqing was also very worried: "Is Sister An Ruo really going to lose?"

Although she also hoped that Sister An Ruo would win, after listening to Lin Youxi's song, Chu Wanqing was completely amazed. She no longer had confidence in Sister An Ruo. After all, her opponent was too strong.

"The quality of this ancient style song is too high, it's very difficult." Even Comrade Lao Chu, a fan of An Ruo, sighed and shook his head.

Chu Ze sat in his seat in silence.

antiquity?

He has a weird expression on his face.

This is really a case of running into trouble. I don't know who ran into whom.

When Xia Anruo was about to appear on stage, the show temporarily went into a commercial.

The barrage was full of curses:

"Fuck, here we go again!"

"Keep it a secret at the critical moment!"

"Fuck, I can't skip the live broadcast. This is fucked."

"Lin Youxi is definitely the champion, let's go."

"You know An Ruo has no trump card?"

"Then wait and see."

Backstage, when they saw Lin Youxi coming back, all the singers stood up and applauded, except Xia Anruo who had already left the lounge to prepare.

"Our sister Youxi's song is really well hidden." Luo Yu joked.

"What do you mean by unfathomable? This is unfathomable. I thought I had seen through Sister Youxi's strength in the past, but I didn't expect that I was shocked again just now." Jiang Xinyan nodded in agreement.

I always feel that the way they look at Sister Youxi is the same as how people in the martial arts world look at Zhang Sanfeng. No matter how strong you are, Taoist Zhang always seems to be able to suppress you.

No matter how well they sing, Lin Youxi will always be better than you.

"Sister Youxi, who did you ask to write this song? There aren't many people who can write a song of this quality." Song Jie asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten that my husband is very good at writing ancient style songs?" Lin Youxi took a sip of water and said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. No wonder, this is a couple's action." Song Jie slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

Lin Youxi's husband is a senior figure in the songwriting industry, and his status is similar to that of Lin Youxi in the singing industry. It would not be surprising if he wrote it.

"It seems that the championship is already in Sister Youxi's pocket." Jiang Xinyan sighed.

I had won such a high number of votes, and I still held a glimmer of hope in my heart, what if I could win?

However, Lin Youxi's appearance on the court completely shattered this fantasy.

Fantasy Killer belongs.

"It's hard to say." Lin Youxi shook her head, not looking relaxed. Although Lin Youxi was confident about her performance of this song, she still felt uneasy because of the surprise Xia Anruo had given her before.

Can Xia Anruo bring her an unexpected miracle this time?
The advertisement on the big screen ended. On the stage, Su Qing held the microphone and said, "Welcome back to the finals of "Who is the King of Singers" exclusively sponsored by 'Liyi Milk'. I am your host Su Qing."

"Thank you very much, Sister Youxi, for singing us the new ancient style song "Water Ink and Color" just now. Do you think Sister Youxi sings well?" Su Qing asked loudly, pointing the microphone towards the audience.

"Sounds good!"

The camera turned to the audience seats, and the audience was also applauding and cheering.

It can still be seen in the camera that many audiences are still immersed in the aftertaste of the song and have not come back to their senses.

"The songs that Sister Youxi brought us are certainly beautiful, but don't forget that we have a singer who is waiting to be performed. Let's shout out her name together, okay?"

"An Ruo! An Ruo!!"

The whole audience cheered!

An Ruo's popularity is obviously still very terrifying, and she is not affected by Lin Youxi's amazing performance.

Listening to the cheers from the audience, Su Qing also announced with a smile: "That's right, next we will invite our last singer - An Ruo to come on stage!"

As Su Qing finished speaking, the audience stared at the center of the stage with bated breath.

Backstage, Xia Anruo clenched her hands on her chest, took a deep breath, and calmed her nervous emotions before she mustered up the courage to step onto the stage.

It has to be admitted that Lin Youxi's performance also brought unprecedented pressure to Xia Anruo.

She was not sure whether she could defeat Lin Youxi, but she firmly believed that the song Chu Ze wrote for her would not disappoint her expectations.

The audience was also discussing:

"Do you think An Ruo still has a chance to win this time?"

"It's very difficult. The quality of Queen Lin's song is too high. It's extremely difficult to surpass it."

"It's hard to say. An Ruo has Tu Dou behind her. She's also a talented songwriter. Who knows if she has prepared a blockbuster song for An Ruo?"

"Even if Tudou can really write songs of similar quality, An Ruo's singing skills are not as good as Lin Youxi's. Now that all songs are original, An Ruo is at a disadvantage in terms of singing skills."

"An Ruo's singing skills have improved significantly over the past few episodes, okay? Do you think this is still the first episode?"

"Can we improve further and be more awesome than the queen?"

"When you didn't think highly of An Ruo before, didn't you always get slapped in the face in the end? Why didn't you learn your lesson?"

"What was the level of the opponent before? What is the level this time? Can it be the same?"

"Exactly, I can't imagine how Lin Youxi lost with this song. If he goes to any other music show, he can just kill them with a dimensionality reduction attack."

Even though many people were extremely amazed by Lin Youxi's "Watercolor Painting", and said that An Ruo was bound to lose, when An Ruo was really about to appear on stage, they all looked up in anticipation!

Finally, the lights on the stage changed, and a large screen in the background showed a landscape with ink splashes and peaks, like a painting slowly unfolding.

Then, the spotlight gathered in the middle of the scroll, and Xia Anruo walked out in a blue and white ancient-style long dress with her skirt fluttering and her sleeves floating in the air, like clouds and mist, like a dream.

Her hair was tied up in a bun with a gold hairpin inserted in it. Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her long hair fluttering and shining with a faint luster.

Xia Anruo held a jade fan in her hand and waved it gently. The fan was engraved with exquisite patterns, which complemented her ancient costume.

It’s as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting, so beautiful!

"An Ruo is here!"

"Oh my god, why is it so beautiful?!"

"Mom, I saw a fairy!"

"Hey, this, this is An Ruo? How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?"

Everyone was shocked by An Ruo's outfit at first, it was too fairy-like, but soon someone realized:

"Why is An Ruo wearing ancient costumes?"

"Oh my god, it looks like An Ruo is going to play the ancient style rhythm too!"

"Wouldn't that have run into Lin Youxi's gun?"

"If An Ruo had sung a different type of song, she would still have a chance to win. But this one is also in ancient style. Lin Youxi must have crushed her on the ground. The level of perfection of "Watercolor and Ink" is too high."

"Alas, the songs were all prepared in advance. An Ruo probably didn't expect Lin Youxi to sing ancient style. How unlucky."

"I really can't win this time, so it's good enough to be the runner-up."

"Don't sing anymore. You look more ethereal than fairies in this ancient costume. Go act in a fairy tale drama. It will definitely be more popular than singing!"

"I agree. I really want to watch An Ruo's fairy drama. She is definitely more than qualified to play the most beautiful woman in the fairy world."

After such a long time since the first episode of the show, the audience has rarely started to speak negatively about Xia Anruo.

There is no way, Lin Youxi’s song is like a mountain standing in front of all singers.

It's like a numerical monster covered in divine equipment, a hexagonal warrior. Anyone facing such an opponent will be scared.

It's decent if you don't lose too badly.

"Sister An Ruo, why are you singing ancient style songs? It's over, it's over."

Chu Wanqing in the audience also had a sad face, having lost confidence in Sister An Ruo. She looked at Chu Ze, who was still staring at the stage with a calm smile, and was puzzled: "Brother, why are you still so calm?"

"What else can you do if you're not calm? Just keep watching." Chu Ze glanced at Chu Wanqing and continued to look at Xia Anruo on the stage.

Don't disturb me from admiring your sister-in-law's period cosplay.

He hasn't tried this trick yet and is a little greedy.

He licked his lips and stroked his chin.

Chu Wanqing couldn't help but pursed her lips when she saw that Chu Zemo didn't seem worried at all.

I don’t understand where this brother’s steady-as-an-old-dog mentality comes from. Is it because beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and he thinks whatever Sister An Ruo sings is the best?

And could you please be more restrained? Your eyes are wide open.

Haha, not just the eyes, but everything else is straight!
Just as Chu Wanqing was daydreaming, he suddenly heard soothing and melodious music.

Ok?
This prelude...

She looked up suddenly and was immediately attracted.

Not only her, all the audience were visibly stunned.

This prelude is unexpectedly nice.

The sounds of drums, flutes and guqin are intertwined together, like clear spring water flowing in an empty valley, and the clear guqin sounds reveal a strong classical rhythm.

As the audience was stunned, Xia Anruo finally spoke:
"The blank is used to outline the blue and white pattern with thick and thin strokes."

"The peonies depicted on the bottle are just like your first makeup."

"The incense of sandalwood shone through the window and I understood your thoughts."

"Put the brush halfway on the rice paper."

After singing just the beginning, Chu Wanqing already opened her mouth in an O shape, speechless in surprise.

Many of the audience members who were originally leaning casually on their chairs now sat up straight unconsciously, staring at the stage and listening quietly with their ears tilted.

Anyone who loves listening to music can hear...

This song seems a bit complicated.
