They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 300: Once Again, Twice, Not Three Times

Zhang Wei stood in the center of the stage. The prelude of piano and violin sounded, with a hint of melancholy in the music.

Subtitles also appeared on the TV screen, and the name of the song was "Father".

"What a simple name! The theme of the song is to express gratitude to parents, so the song is simply called "Father."

"Is it an original song again this time? I remember there were several songs with this name."

"Hu Yanbin has a song called 'Father'."

"And Li Jian, I remember he also has a song called "Father"."

"More than ten years ago, there was a TV series called "Our Parents" starring Chen Baoguo. I think the theme song was also called "Father."

"Listen, there's a prelude. I've never heard of this prelude before, so it shouldn't be a cover."

At this time, the prelude had ended and Zhang Wei began to sing.

"I always asked for things from you, but never said thank you. It was not until I grew up that I realized how hard it was for you. Every time I left, I always pretended to be relaxed, smiled and said "go back", then turned around and tears welled up in my eyes..."

There are dozens of songs named after "Father". The one sung by Zhang Wei is "Father" by Chopstick Brothers, which is also the most familiar one.

Many people know Chopstick Brothers, not because of the movie theme song "Old Boy" or the square dance hit song "Little Apple", but because of the song "Father".

This song is probably the most approachable song of Chopstick Brothers. The whole song does not have too much decoration and exaggeration. Both the melody and the lyrics are just telling a very ordinary story. However, this most simple style is the most heartfelt and the most touching.

Moreover, the melody of the song is very light and cheerful. It does not use a sad beginning to set the atmosphere. The chorus part is just a simple repetition, but it achieves a further improvement in the melody.

This song describes the image of an old father with Chinese characteristics with the most common truth. Listening to this song, you can seem to see the changes of a child's father during his growth.

When the child was young, he asked his father for things as if it was a matter of course. His father worked hard but would never show it. He only showed his strong side to the child.

When the child grows up and is about to go to a farther place to work, the father is still worried about the child all the time, just like he was when the child was a child.

As you listen to it, you will unknowingly bring the song into yourself and trigger an emotional resonance.

Especially for those who have entered society, experienced the hardships of reality, understood the hardships of life, and then started a family and had children, they can empathize more after hearing this song.

This poem "Father" is probably like Zhu Ziqing's "Back Figure". When I read the text as a child, I could not feel the emotions in the text at all. I just mechanically wrote down the answers and filled them in on the test paper after the exam.

When you grow up, you will only remember the joke about buying oranges. When chatting with classmates and friends, you can use the joke to make a few ethical jokes.

But when real adults read this article "Back Figure" again, they will feel sad, distressed, and moved to tears, and they will see a miniature of their own father!

……

After the first two lines of lyrics were sung, the audience was already immersed in the song. The line "Every time I leave, I always pretend to be relaxed" has resonated with many people.

Among the audience, there were many people who came from other places to study or work. This line of lyrics directly touched their hearts and made them think of the scene when they said goodbye to their father when they left home.

My own father was just like the lyrics said, pretending to be relaxed and forcing himself to put on a smile before sending me away!

In front of the TV, there are more people who left their hometowns to study and work in other cities. They also resonated with this line of lyrics and began to listen to the song carefully.

"Time, please go slower, don't let you grow old anymore, I'd like to exchange everything I have for your eternal youth, dad who has been strong all his life, what can I do for you, just my insignificant concern, please accept it!
Thank you for everything you have done, supporting our family with your own hands, and always trying your best to give me the best. Am I your pride? Are you still worried about me? The child you care about has grown up! "

With a few simple lyrics, the image of a father seemed to appear vividly in everyone's mind, and this image gradually became clearer and finally turned into the appearance of one's own father.

In the eyes of children, every father is strong.

Every father will give the best to his children.

When the song reached this point, some people in the audience began to have tears in their eyes. They were not moved by the song, but because they thought of their fathers.

As more orchestral music was added, Zhang Wei began to sing the lyrics for the second time. The emotions of the song continued to progress, and at the same time, the emotions of the audience were pushed up layer by layer. Some of the audience had tears in their eyes, biting their lips tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall, but they could not hide the surging emotions in their hearts.

Their bodies were trembling slightly, as if they were trying to bear the deep emotional impact, and their hearts were filled with endless longing and gratitude for their father.

Every word of the lyrics and every note are touching the softest part of their hearts, reminding them of their father's broad shoulders, his rough yet warm hands, and every moment they spent with his father.

Some people lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look at Zhang Wei on the stage. Warm memories of the past kept emerging in their minds. When they thought of their father's silent but firm expression, they felt endless gratitude and longing in their hearts.

Some people closed their eyes and listened to the song quietly, but tears could not be suppressed and flowed from the corners of their eyes. The gentle yet bitter smile was telling of their feelings at the moment.

In front of the TV, more viewers were also moved by this song. Those who were far away from home or the locals who stayed in their hometown all thought of their fathers.

Especially for those who have lost their fathers, the pain in their hearts is indescribable and they can't help but shed tears.

Some people may not have experienced passionate love, some may not have close friends, and there is no friendship to speak of. But everyone has a father.

The love of parental care is the most basic emotion of human beings. Songs that express parental love can resonate more deeply in people's hearts than love songs or friendship songs.

The charm of the song "Father" is that it uses the simplest language to touch people's tears.

……

The performance touched everyone at the scene and countless viewers in front of the TV.

However, the final result is not decided by the audience, but by the 31-member public jury.

If Zhang Wei can get the majority of votes, then even if he is resurrected successfully, he can enter the next round of PK, which is equivalent to having two lives.

If you don’t get a majority of votes, you can only enter the final PK, which is equivalent to using up a life.

In a nearby grandstand area, more than a dozen of the 31 members of the public jury were secretly looking at their mobile phone screens, waiting for news to come.

Backstage, the program planner hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said, "Notify everyone to let Zhang Wei pass!"

A few seconds later, the instruction appeared on the mobile phones of more than a dozen members of the public jury via text message.

The dozen or so judges breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were also moved by the song "Father" that had just been sung, and therefore they were under a lot of pressure.

When Zhang Wei was singing just now, these public judges also felt a deep sense of resonance and also thought of their fathers. Some of them even couldn't help but want to call their fathers immediately.

If such a tear-jerking song is not approved, it will definitely be criticized by the audience. If one is unlucky and someone exposes the truth, the program team may make him a scapegoat and sell it directly.

Just like the incident of destroying the dike and flooding the fields, it was clearly the order given by the young minister and the work done by Zheng Bichang and He Maocai. Yang Jinshui was well aware of it, but in the end, the people who had their heads snapped off were the magistrates of Chun'an and Jiande counties and a young eunuch.

Those who take the blame are always the lowest-level executors.

As long as the matter is not too serious, the middle-level managers will probably only have to drink three times as much wine as usual, while the senior managers will still have to wear no more than eight sets of uniforms for all four seasons.

In the background, the program director quietly came to the planner and asked in a low voice:
"Didn't we say at the last meeting that Zhang Wei must be eliminated in this round? Why do you still want the public jury to vote for him?"

"You think I'm thinking, how good is this song? You should be able to tell, right? Look at the audience, how many people are secretly wiping tears? Look in the mirror again, look at your eyes, they are red too, right?
Even you were moved by this song, which means it is really great. If we don't vote for him, wouldn't it be telling the whole country that we are doing something shady?" The planner snorted.

"Then how should we explain the tasks assigned by the leader?" the director asked in a low voice.

The planner smiled confidently and replied, "This is just a temporary solution. Let him advance first and participate in the next round of PK. Then, we will eliminate him in the next round of PK and let him participate in the final PK. In this way, he needs to sing three songs in total.

Our theme today is gratitude to parents. There is no choice of songs for this theme, and it is not easy to create. It is even more difficult to write a good song.

Even if Zhang Wei is talented and can write a good song to express gratitude to parents in a short period of time, he will definitely not be able to write three songs of the same quality!
I guess the quality of his next two songs is definitely not as good as this one "Father". Or maybe he doesn't have three original songs at all, so in the final PK, he can only sing other people's songs.

Whether it's because the song quality is not good or he sang someone else's song, it can be said that we eliminated him! So in the final PK, he will definitely be eliminated. This is called once, twice, but not three times! "
