Chapter 202 "Broader Sea and Sky"

Weibo real-time topic plaza.

"It's really hard to accept Xu Lin's second place."

"Xu Lin deserves first place, but Goodmans not only sang well, but also performed exceptionally well, so he deserves the first place."

"This song 'Devil from Heaven' is so good, I screamed! I really don't understand why it didn't get first place!"

"The impact and shock brought by the live broadcast is really unparalleled. The addition of harmony and the arrangement become very psychedelic, and the tight connection with the compact drum beats pushes the song to a new climax. The arrangement of "Devil from Heaven" is so great that it makes my scalp tingle!"

"After listening to Goodmans, I have forgotten what was sung before."

"Goodmans is currently the ceiling of live performances by foreign singers on stage. His pitch, breath, and singing quotient are all impeccable. It's reasonable for either him or Xu Lin to win, but in the end, Goodmans was voted first. It can only be said that Goodmans is still smoother. Xu Lin was a little bit overwhelmed by Cheng Cheng's "Devil from Heaven". Xu Lin's strengths are singing skills and singing quotient, but this song "Devil from Heaven" cannot be performed without extreme function and huge lungs."

"There's a foreigner issue again this time. Is there any hope for the Tianxia music scene?"

"It's hopeless, give up! Xi Xiang is facing Goodmans who is fully functional and getting more and more used to this stage. Tell me how to fight him? Hit him with the head!"

"There is really no fight. It feels like Xi Xiang needs to pack up and go back."

"I wonder if he bought a return ticket."

"You guys are so mean!"

"Hurry up and go to the West Heaven to ask for help from the Buddha Cheng Cheng!!!"

"In this situation, only Cheng Cheng can come to the rescue. If things continue like this, the stage of Singer will be filled with foreigners! It's so embarrassing. If a domestic program is done like this, I wonder if the singers in the domestic entertainment industry will still have the face to show up."

"No, they are not ashamed."

People online are not very optimistic about Xi Xiang's match against Goodmans, thinking that he has a high probability of not being able to beat Goodmans and will most likely be eliminated in the first round.

Barrage:

[Can you succeed in revealing the list, Ah Xiang? ]

【Wrong target】

[High probability]

[Come on, King Xi, you are the hope of the whole village]

[Be alert! Don’t lose face! ]

[This is really the Masked Singer vs. Singer 2022]

【It's worth coming! 】

[My king, show these foreigners some color! ]

【The King must win! 】

Amidst the chaos, Xi Xiang stood on the stage.

The song he was going to sing today appeared on the big screen.

Song: "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies"

Singer: Xi Xiang

Lyricist: Cheng Cheng

Composer: Cheng Cheng

When they saw the title of the song, both the online audience and the singers at the scene exclaimed in surprise.

For the singers at the scene, although Cheng Cheng is no longer in the entertainment industry, his legend has spread to the entertainment industry. "A Diao" and "Ju Hao" allowed Xu Lin to win two first places, while "Against the Light" and "Invisible Wings" allowed Xu Lin to get two second places.

Although they had never met each other, the foreign singers already had an image of Cheng Cheng in their minds.

He was like a genius who was hiding behind the scenes and whose face could not be seen, controlling everything remotely! Manipulating the results! This was exactly in line with their fantasy of the ancient and mysterious East!

Goodmans perked up, stared at the stage, and felt a little pressure: it could not be too much to pay attention to the mysterious Cheng Cheng.

For the online viewers, it was even more surprising to see that it was Sung Cheng’s song!

[Good fellow, did Brother Frog send a second agent to fight for him? ]

[Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome! Using the superstar singer as a pawn to fight for you, this method and pattern are directly opened! 】

[What is the best talent in the world! This is the best talent in the world! Brother Frog said, do I need to end it myself? No! I don’t need it at all! It’s so low to end it myself! Brother Frog directly starts a proxy war! ]

[Frog Brother has surpassed the level of ordinary singers. He is like a nuclear weapon and will not be used unless necessary.]

[Xi Xiang is also walking and can even sing Brother Frog’s songs]

【Reverse Tiangang! 】

[Two new songs by Frog in one competition, what the hell is this? Half of the traffic of "The Singer" is contributed by Frog]

[Half? Double! Without Frog Brother, the show would have collapsed in the second episode! ]

[Frog Brother fights foreigners in the peninsula, and he will also fight foreigners in China! Good, good, a 20-year-old boy guards the country's borders! ]

[Let’s not talk about anything else, even in Europe and the United States in the past ten years, there has not been a person as talented as Frog Brother]

While the barrage of comments was still swiping the screen like crazy, the prelude sounded.

The song begins with simple and powerful piano playing. The starting pitch is not high, and the rhythm is slow and powerful, but it becomes lower and heavier as the notes go on. After just a few notes, the accompaniment almost disappears, and the listener's mood becomes depressed and empty.

At this time, Xi Xiang's singing finally sounded:
"Today I,

Watching the snow drift by on a cold night,
Drifting away with a cooled heart.

Chasing in the wind and rain,
I can't see clearly in the fog,
The sky is vast, you and I,
But it will change (who is not changing)"

The people listening to the song fell silent instantly.

A silent silence instantly swept the whole audience.

In front of the TV, the boy who was watching TV and playing games raised his head and silently turned off his phone;
In one family, the mother who was preparing dinner for the whole family put down the knife and walked out of the kitchen;
On a busy Cantonese street, a middle-aged man who was walking in a hurry stopped and was attracted by the melody coming from a roadside shop. He walked closer involuntarily. Gradually, more and more people gathered around him.

这歌
This song!

Barrage:

[Holy shit, shit, shit, shit! 】

【Opening True God!!!】

[Nima! How can it sound so good? ]

[Xi Xiang is awesome! Cheng Cheng is awesome! I take back what I just said!!!]

【Who's going to start with a king bomb? 】

[I got goosebumps at the first sound! ]

[The moment he opened his mouth, he had a grand conception, so powerful]

【Killing crazy! 】

【This song is so powerful! 】

How do you evaluate "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies"?
As soon as he got this song, Xi Xiang gave his evaluation. His evaluation was:
All the Fuyin songs he had sung in his life were even better than this song!
Yes! Any one of them!
No matter his original version or his cover, it's not as good as this song!
In folk music, there are very few songs with such majestic momentum, such a grand perspective and mind.

The song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" contains disappointment and depression, but it also contains the spirit of inspiration, struggle, and tenacious struggle. The core of never giving up is always maintained in the grief and indignation.

This is actually not the type of song that Xi Xiang is good at. Perhaps only Cheng Cheng can sing the flavor of this song. He is better at singing love songs.

But if he doesn't sing this song well, he will regret it and feel unwilling for the rest of his life!
He could only sing with all his might!

The faint piano accompaniment turned into the repeated beating of two accents, like firm and powerful steps, moving forward resolutely in the low and cold silence, Xi Xiang continued to sing:

"How many times have I endured cold stares and ridicule,
Never give up the ideal in my heart.

A moment of trance,

If you feel lost,

Unconsciously it has faded,
Love in my heart (Who understands me)"

In loneliness and pain, Xi Xiang let out his first roar, but under the pressure of frustration it sounded more like a wail:
"Forgive me for my unruly and free-spirited life.

I am also afraid that I will fall one day~OH~NO,

Abandoned ideals,
Anyone can do it.
Why would I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me~"

At this moment! Everyone stand up!

Xi Xiang sang the three words "It's OK" particularly heavily, as if he was pounding his fists to resist the pain of setbacks, but the result was just a struggling and exhausted voice.

Backstage, all the singers stood up.

Kacha stood up!

Goodmans stood up!

Florin Mullan stood up!
Bettina stood up!
They can't sit and listen!
They may not understand Fu dialect or Chinese lyrics, but music is universal and is the common language of mankind. They can feel what the song is about and how beautiful it is!
The song takes them back to the Beatles era.

That golden age of mankind, full of ideals, restlessness and anger!

The barrage exploded!

[It sounds so good]

【This is real music!!!】

[It's so fucking penetrating! ]

[I love this sound so much]

【Fearless competition, rock and roll will never die】

[I am proud of the music of our Tianxia people! No matter how good foreign songs are, the music of Tianxia people will be forever, damn, and will never be replaced! This is a song that only Tianxia people can write! This is a song that only Tianxia people can sing! ]

[See? This is the king! This is the fucking king!!!]

[Oh my God, Cheng Cheng! What kind of song did you write? ]

“Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night.

Anyone can do it.
Why would I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me~"

Then, the above chapter was repeated again.

But the difference is that the firm piano tapping injects strong power into the song, as if it is struggling to withstand the heavy pressure of setbacks and adapt to it!
Fight it!
Won’t be overwhelmed by it!

Unlike the previous shouting that was hoarse, Xi Xiang finally shouted happily at this moment:
"OH YEAH~"

After a loud shout pierced through the heavy oppression, palace-like melodies rang out. They were undercurrents surging under the thick black curtain, brewing and accumulating surging power.

They surged back and forth, each beat firmer, each beat more powerful.

When the firm and passionate drum beats sounded again, accompanied by Xi Xiang's roar, this force finally burst out, slowly lifting the heavy pressure, little by little, high above his head:
"Still free myself,
Sing my song forever,

Travel thousands of miles~"

Still free myself!!!

Sing my song forever!!!

As if an electric shock appeared in the cerebral cortex, every audience member in front of the screen began to tremble uncontrollably!
The blood is boiling!
My hair is standing on end!

Tears are flowing!
What does "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" mean?
Among countless musical works, if you want to pick a song that is played most frequently, discussed most, and covered most times, it must undoubtedly be Hai Kuo Tian Kong! .

CCTV Review: "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" has transcended language and music to become a belief and power!
It truly transcends the original scope of music, and is sung, echoed, and resonated in the hearts of countless people. It is no longer just a simple song.

Look at the Chinese people, they will unconsciously sing this song on every important occasion.

The Wenchuan earthquake happened, and the promise is this song

Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition, and the Bird's Nest was given a chance to play

Evergrande won the AFC Champions League for the first time, and the whole stadium sang this song automatically

Macau holds universal suffrage, and a bunch of people took to the streets to sing!

It is more like an underground national anthem of the Chinese people, because it is sad and angry, because it is inspiring, and because it touches upon the national spirit and emotions!
In China's history, even in peacetime, there were still many years of hardship, and the pressure of survival never disappeared for a moment. It was in such an environment that the Chinese people were cultivated to be hardworking, diligent, not afraid of hardship, and brave in their struggles. They did not forget their original aspirations, did not rely on others, and hoped to rewrite their destiny in the face of difficulties and adversities.

Therefore, whenever this song is played, people will sing along, and then there will be a chorus of men, women, young and old, and countless people can gain strength from this song.

Although there is no Wong Ka Kui in this time and space, Wong Ka Kui seems to have traveled through time and space, laughing, talking, and singing in the ears of every listener...

[The melody and lyrics of this song are so amazing]

[Who the hell said Xi Xiang couldn't win! Who said that?! Come on! ]

【I fell in love with Xi Xiang when I was 12 years old! 】

[I won! No need to compete anymore!]

[There is really no comparison! Even if you put Goodmans, Caccia, and Bettina together, they still can't win! ]

【The King is the King! 】

【Xi Xiang’s post-05 fans report! 】

[Conversion of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy]

【Tianxia’s pinnacle song! 】

[The power of encouragement and the sentimental mood, who can not cry!! ]

【YYDS! 】

[This is Cheng Cheng's most awesome song besides "The Internationale"! I said it!]

"Abandoning ideals,

Anyone can do it.
Why would I be afraid that one day you will only have me~"

I have experienced sighing and hesitation, and felt the pain and struggle. It is the perseverance in the face of difficulties and the unremitting pursuit of ideals!
After going through hardships and tempering, the singing at this moment is hearty and refreshing! It is wanton and carefree!
It is heart-stirring and brings tears to eyes.

And when the audience was deeply immersed in this emotion, the music suddenly became quiet, and the song instantly dropped from the climax to the trough.

Suddenly, at this moment, the passionate and powerful drum beats sounded again, like a horn of a charge, and all the music spread out!

"Forgive me for my uninhibited and free-spirited love of life, but I am also afraid that one day I will fall.

Abandoned ideals,
Anyone can do it.
Why would I be afraid that one day it will be just you and me~"

Xi Xiang and the band members sang in unison, bringing the song to a grand climax.

It is majestic and unstoppable. It will crush all the hardships, setbacks and hesitations and throw them into the sky.

It is high but not noisy, brilliant but powerful, and resounds through the sky like the roar of fate.

This is where "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" comes to an end.

Xi Xiang was sweating profusely and stopped panting. He didn't know how he sang. He only knew that he had done his best to sing this song and had used up all his strength! His body and spirit were overdrawn.
