Chapter 147 Xia Anruo: Hello, Dad! (Two in One)
Xia Anruo continued to sing, her magnetic and ethereal voice lingering in the scene, and the fragrance of ink wafted in the bluish-white painting in the background.
"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you."
"The smoke from the kitchen is rising thousands of miles across the river."
"The calligraphy on the bottom of the vase imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty."
"Just think of it as foreshadowing my meeting with you."
"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you."
"The moonlight was salvaged, and the ending was blurred."
"Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself."
"You have a smile in your eyes."
The audience was already mesmerized by the song, as if they had entered the misty painting behind Xia Anruo, with a sky painted in ink and color, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and rain hitting banana leaves.
On the stone bridge, there is a girl holding an oil-paper umbrella, her gentle and hazy face reflected on the water.
She looked across the bridge, as if she was looking for and waiting for the love from her previous life.
"The white and blue koi fish leaps out from the bottom of the bowl."
"I was thinking of you while copying the Song style signature."
"You have hidden a secret in the kiln for thousands of years."
"Extremely delicate, like an embroidery needle falling to the ground."
"The banana leaves outside the curtains caused sudden rain, and the door knockers caused copper green."
"And I passed by that Jiangnan town and offended you."
“In ink-splashed landscape paintings.”
"You are hidden from the depths of ink."
The lyrics reveal a touch of sadness, the sorrow and resentment of Jiangnan, which are completely conveyed to the hearts of every audience member present and in front of the screen.
"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you."
"The moonlight was salvaged, and the ending was blurred."
"Like the blue and white porcelain handed down from generation to generation, it is beautiful by itself."
"You have a smile in your eyes."
The gentle and graceful piano music became lower and lower and gradually disappeared.
The song ends and everyone disperses.
Xia Anruo breathed lightly and looked quietly at the silence below the stage. No one had yet come out of the melancholy and sad mood. Some of the more sentimental girls even covered their mouths and cried, with red eyes.
She turned her head and looked at the first row, and saw Chu Ze at the bottom, looking at her quietly with a smile on his face.
Seeing Xia Anruo looking at him, Chu Ze moved his lips and gave her a thumbs up:
"Perfect!"
Although he didn't say anything, Xia Anruo still understood what he meant, and her heart, which was originally a little nervous about her performance, relaxed a little.
The singers backstage were as silent as those on stage.
After a long while, Luo Yu, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, slowly spoke: "What a great song, Blue and White Porcelain... It perfectly combines blue and white porcelain with the deep affection of love, creating a mood that is both beautiful and affectionate, full of poetry and imagery, and profound. The person who wrote this song is definitely a real genius."
“Fuck, how can there be such a beautiful song? The lyrics are so well written. It’s over. I feel like I’m uncultured and don’t know how to praise it.” Xu Dongqing was so excited that he was at a loss for words.
"I still haven't gotten over this song, it's so infectious." Jiang Xinyan's expression was still a little intoxicated, as if she was still immersed in the mood of the misty Jiangnan just now.
"This song has both classical charm and modern fashion sense. The elements of traditional music are cleverly integrated with modern pop music..." Song Jie also commented while stroking her smooth chin. Then she thought of something, "Was this song written by Tudou?"
"It should still be him." Jiang Xinyan thought.
After all, An Ruo’s songs in the previous dozen episodes were all written by Tu Dou, so it is unlikely that someone would suddenly change the writer in the finals.
"Before, I just admired his ability to mass-produce high-quality songs. Now, I want to knock my hat off to this potato. Is this guy still human? He's a true songwriting genius!" Xu Dongqing said with a sigh.
Where on earth did An Ruo find such a genius? I wonder if I’ll have a chance to meet him.
As long as you can get a song, you will make a lot of money!
At this time, Lin Youxi was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, not saying a word. His brows frowned and then relaxed, and he smiled helplessly. No one knew what he was thinking, but his heart must be very complicated.
Xia Anruo watched for a while, then bowed deeply to the audience below the stage: "Thank you everyone!"
Finally, people came to their senses.
Chu Ze took the lead in applauding, and a moment later, the whole audience burst into applause.
Everyone excitedly stood up from their seats and clapped their hands vigorously. There were no extra words, they just kept using applause to express their inner shock, amazement, admiration and praise... feelings that were difficult to express in words.
“This song is fucking amazing!”
"I can't think of any other words to describe this song other than God."
“This song subverts my impression of ancient style songs.”
"It's like listening to the music of heaven. I finally understand what the music of heaven is."
“I thought that Lin Youxi’s “Watercolor Painting” was the pinnacle of ancient style, but I didn’t expect there are other masters.”
"I admit that I was careless before. An Ruo really likes to slap me in the face!"
"As expected of An Ruo, you always refresh my cognition and overturn my worldview. I completely kneel down to you."
"Hurry up, hurry up, vote now, stop sighing here!"
"I have already invested. I have used all the cell phones of my aunts and uncles to invest."
"It would be unjust if this song didn't win first place!"
The audience in front of the screen took out their mobile phones, scanned the code to enter the voting website, and cast their only vote for An Ruo.
Some fans even brought all their relatives and friends to vote for An Ruo.
Chu Wanqing also picked up his phone and started to operate it: "Quick, quick, dad, have you voted for Sister An Ruo?"
"Do I need you to tell me? I've already voted." Comrade Chu Mingtao was quite active. It seemed like he had voted many times before, so he was so skilled.
"I'll ask my mom to help me vote." After Chu Wanqing cast his own vote, he asked Jiang Huiqin to cast one as well.
The sister-in-law is quite supportive of her sister-in-law's career.
Soon, Su Qing walked onto the stage step by step. The big screen behind her lit up, and all the audience stared at the big screen, which displayed real-time voting data.
Soon the numbers scrolled on the big screen:
One hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, one million, two million...
The number of votes continued to rise, and soon reached three million and four million.
Not stopped yet!
Four and a half million, five million!
There are only 100,000 votes left for Lin Youxi, but the number of votes still shows no sign of stopping.
Oh my God, is this really the pace to surpass Lin Youxi and win the championship?
Sure enough, the vote count continued to climb.
Five million and five hundred thousand, five million and one hundred thousand, five million and one hundred thousand.
The moment his vote count surpassed Lin Youxi's, everyone exclaimed - this season's champion had been decided.
And the number of votes has not stopped, the growth rate is still terrifying.
When the host finally announced the end of the voting countdown, the final number of votes remained at six million!
The number of votes exceeded six million!
This is a very terrifying statistic, a full 900,000 votes higher than Lin Youxi.
You know, Lin Youxi is a queen. She is a newcomer and has a huge gap with the queens. This is unheard of in other variety shows. Su Qing also looked at the result on the screen excitedly and announced loudly: "The champion of the third season of "Who is the King of Singers" has finally appeared. She is our An Ruo! Let us give the warmest applause to congratulate An Ruo for winning the throne of the king of singing!"
At this moment, the whole audience cheered and called out An Ruo's name. The barrage in the live broadcast room was also filled with the words An Ruo.
fantastic.
Deserved!
Every singer in the finals showed unparalleled strength. Even so, Xia Anruo still fought her way out of the competition and stood out. Even Lin Youxi couldn't defeat her.
But no one thinks that this championship is credible.
It was the first time that everyone heard such a song that was so soul-piercing.
It’s too shocking!
Everyone had a hunch that An Ruo's song "Blue and White Porcelain" was enough to make a sensation in the entire domestic music scene, and it would not be long before the song became a hit in every street corner.
The program crew was so happy that they were almost going crazy.
Damn, that's awesome. The excitement of this final completely exceeded the expectations of the production team. You can tell without even thinking about it that the ratings and number of people watching the live broadcast will probably explode. It may even have a chance to break the ratings record for variety shows.
They were somewhat glad that it was someone who suggested choosing An Ruo to participate. It was like they had found a treasure.
At this point, with everyone's blessings, the third season of "Who is the King of Singers" came to a perfect end and the audience left one after another.
In a separate small room, Xia Anruo had just returned and was sitting in front of the dressing table humming a song in a happy mood. The screen of her mobile phone placed beside her was flashing, and messages kept coming in, all of which were congratulations for her victory from her friends and colleagues in the circle.
Xia Anruo didn't have time to reply to them one by one. Just as she was about to pick up the makeup remover to remove her makeup, she heard knocks on the door.
Then Liao Qing's voice came from outside the door: "An Ruo, someone is looking for you."
Xia Anruo was stunned, thinking that a staff member was looking for her, so she put down what she was holding and quickly stood up to open the door.
"Sister An Ruo!"
As soon as the door opened, a figure rushed in and hugged Xia Anruo's waist tightly, which scared her. Fortunately, she heard a familiar voice, so she quickly looked down.
"Is it Qingqing?"
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had run into some crazy fan.
"Sister Anruo, you won the championship, that's amazing!" Chu Wanqing danced while hugging Xia Anruo, his tone very excited.
"I'm just lucky." Xia Anruo smiled dotingly. She still liked Chu Wanqing very much.
“How could it be? That song ‘Blue and White Porcelain’ is so amazing, I have never heard such a beautiful song!” Chu Wanqing danced with joy, wanting to praise it to the sky but at a loss for words, so he could only use gestures to make up for the fact that he was uneducated.
"That's because someone wrote it well." Xia Anruo touched Chu Wanqing's head.
"Sister An Ruo sings well too! Was this song also written by Tu Dou?" Chu Wanqing asked.
Xia Anruo smiled and nodded, and then heard someone coughing twice at the door.
"If you want to talk, can you please go in first? Why are you blocking the door? There are people behind you."
Xia Anruo looked up and saw Chu Ze appearing outside the door. He had a cool smile on his face and waved at Xia Anruo.
Xia Anruo also stared at Chu Ze's smile with a full gaze, and her eyes became soft.
Chu Ze walked in. Seeing him walk up to her, Xia Anruo was about to say something when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man who looked very similar to him following in from behind Chu Ze and also looking at her with burning eyes.
Xia Anruo was stunned.
When she was on the stage before, she noticed the man sitting next to Chu Ze and Chu Wanqing, so she roughly guessed something in her mind.
I felt a sudden panic for no reason.
When Chu Ze saw Xia Anruo looking at Chu Mingtao, he immediately understood something, smiled meaningfully, and then pulled Comrade Lao Chu over to Xia Anruo.
When Chu Mingtao saw Xia Anruo standing so close to him, he was also amazed by her stunning beauty.
It’s really beautiful.
It looks even more beautiful up close than on stage.
I don’t know who will be lucky enough to marry such a beautiful wife in the future.
Soon, Chu Mingtao realized that it was not good to look at others like that. He should not be rude when meeting someone for the first time, so he quickly extended his hand: "Hello, hello, Miss An Ruo. I am sorry if I disturbed you."
Seeing Chu Mingtao's outstretched hand, Xia Anruo was actually flustered for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously turned to Chu Ze for help.
Chu Ze thought, why are you looking at me?
What Comrade Lao Chu is extending to you is not a chicken claw. Can't you even shake hands?
Xia Anruo also reacted quickly, not daring to neglect it, and quickly held it with both hands, and then...
What's next?
What should I say next?
Her smile froze, and she looked at Chu Ze for help, just like a socially anxious child who can't communicate.
"This is my dad." Chu Ze had no choice but to remind him.
It would have been fine if Chu Ze hadn't said anything. After hearing this, Xia Anruo didn't know what had happened and blurted out:
"Hello, Dad."
Chu Mingtao's clenched hands trembled in fear, and his old eyes looked at Xia Anruo in disbelief.
What?
Get up violently.
The first time I met my favorite singer, he came up to me and called me dad.
Liao Qing next to him also had a weird expression on his face, as if he had heard something.
"No, well, I mean, uh..."
Xia Anruo realized that she had let the cat out of the bag... no, she had said the wrong thing. She stuttered and was so anxious that her brain short-circuited. Her CPU was about to burn out and she didn't know what to shout for a moment.
Although as a star, she has experienced many scenes, big and small, but she has never experienced such a scene.
I was sweating profusely.
"Just call me uncle." Chu Ze wiped his sweat and quickly helped Xia Anruo to smooth things over.
Chu Ze was almost at a loss when he heard the word "Dad".
You are quite impatient.
"Oh, uncle, hello, hello." Xia Anruo also wiped his sweat secretly and took the opportunity to greet him again using Chu Ze's words.
Chu Mingtao was also confused by Xia Anruo just now.
But I soon realized that it was just an accidental slip of the tongue, and it would be embarrassing to dwell on it.
Just listening to Xia Anruo calling him uncle, Chu Mingtao always felt something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Since Chu Ze is a friend of An Ruo, it seems there is nothing wrong with her calling him uncle according to their seniority.
It just sounds so awkward.
The high-ranking and unattainable superstar who used to only appear on the screen, now suddenly calls him uncle in front of him affectionately.
Moreover, he listens to this singer's songs every day and he likes them.
This feels very disconnected.
But even though it's awkward, you know what, it actually sounds quite comfortable.
As a fan, it always feels worth it to have my idol call me uncle.
Don’t be anxious, there will be times in this life when you will be more valuable.
