Chapter 126 "The Ordinary Road"

"This guy's new song is good. It sounds nice."

“Although the style is not what I like, the lyrics feel quite emotional.”

"It sounds good. Although there are many people who are playing the strings and leading the rhythm, you have to admit that it is not easy for Xu Kong to win the championship of this show."

It is still the narrative style of writing that Bai Ran is good at.

But compared to the other party’s previous songs on the show, this one is obviously more sophisticated in melody and arrangement.

Especially the chorus part, which is quite memorable.

No matter what the final result is, Bai Ran’s song is expected to be very popular.

The only thing that Feiniao felt a little regretful about was that Bai Ran himself had too little stage experience. This was his first time on a variety show and also his first time performing on such a big stage.

What's more, the final itself will be broadcast live.

There are a few minor mistakes along the way, although you may not feel them on site and they affect the viewing experience.

But it is more obvious during the live broadcast.

"It's a pity that there are still mistakes."

“As a newcomer, this performance is pretty good.”

"It's harmless, as long as the song is well written. Anyway, I will definitely add this song to the playlist when the time comes."

Although there were mistakes, Bai Ran, as the first contestant to perform, received almost all the approval of the barrage experts in the live broadcast room.

Everyone is very tolerant towards a newcomer.

Of course, if Xu Kong, who is currently in the limelight, had made such a mistake, the result would not have been like this.

"Is the second one Chu Shi?"

"I think he was nominated for the best new artist at the music festival this year? But he didn't get many screen time."

"It's normal. The Best New Artist award doesn't attract much attention. Do you really think everyone is a pervert like Xu Kong who can win the Best New Artist award and the Best Male Singer of the Year award at the same time?"

"Don't brag about Xu Kong. Without the background and capital behind him, he is nothing!"

The barrage of comments started to get noisy again.

However, it did not affect Chu Shi who was already on stage preparing to perform.

Feiniao originally thought that Chu Shi would also be affected since Xu Kong had defeated him in the last episode in the genre of music he was best at.

But he didn't expect that he was only half right this time.

Chu Shi was indeed affected, but unlike Yu Huai before, he became more and more courageous.

This new song is surprisingly good, and the style has also broken away from the previous habit of writing sad songs.

Coupled with the stable scene, it was really hard to tell for a moment which one performed better between the other and Bai Ran who appeared first.

"It's the finals and they've started to put in their best effort. It's obvious that Chu Shi and Bai Ran's two songs were specially prepared for the finals."

"What a pity! If Xu Kong had kept the first issue of "Seven Miles of Fragrance" until now, there probably wouldn't be much risk. Now, it's hard to say who will win in the end."

"Are all the new singers in this show so talented? I feel like the first two new songs were surprisingly good."

The audience who have followed this variety show until the finals are more familiar with the contestants' styles.

But some people who came simply to join in the fun and watch the memes because of Xu Kong's recent rhythm, now slowly calmed down and started watching the show.

The finals were broadcast live, and almost the entire process was performance, with no variety show segments to fill up the duration.

The quality of the performance is high enough and it should be no problem to gradually attract the attention of most people.

There was a brief break in the barrage of comments, and they were not as noisy and intense as before.

Everyone's discussion focused on the performances of Bai Ran and Chu Shi.

At this time, Xu Kong in the backstage was also quite moved after watching Chu Shi's performance.

Although this person is a little bit immature, he inexplicably regards himself as an imaginary enemy.

But I have to say that the psychological endurance is still very strong.

The level of this new song stage performance is even better than the previous one.

Compared with Yu Huai, who had completely lost confidence after being hit by Xu Kong, the gap between the two is even more obvious.

Compared to this newcomer who doesn't focus on music and likes to study the ways of the world, Chu Shi's future ceiling will definitely be higher.

Chu Shi’s performance ended, and next up was Rong Xia Bing, the only female singer on the final stage.

This version of t0 did not meet Xu Kong in this final because they were separated in the lounge.

Soon, Rong Xiabing's performance began.

It can be seen that the opponent has obviously prepared for this final.

Although the style of this new song is still the same, the arrangement and melody have changed a lot. It is obvious from the comments online that there is a pursuit of innovation and change.

However, there are probably relatively few audiences who can hear it.

You can tell from the comments of most viewers who are not buying it at this point.

“The elements that always appear in Rongxia Ice Songs: summer, seaside, small town.”

"It's the same thing again. It feels like she hasn't made any progress since she won the Best Newcomer award last year."

“I was really amazed when I first heard Rong Xiabing’s song, but after listening to so many of her songs, it seems that I can only remember one, or that all of her songs are almost the same.”

Feiniao also discovered that the quality of Rong Xiabing's song in the final was obviously the best since she appeared on this show.

Moreover, the arrangement and melody have also changed slightly from the previous style.

It's just that the change is too subtle. Media judges and professional musicians can hear it, but ordinary audiences probably won't think there is much of a change.

The only evaluation that Fat Bird gave to the other party was that he had tried his best.

After all, Rong Xia Bing has a very high standard. The first song he wrote in high school became a hit on the entire Internet, and he even won the Best Newcomer award after his debut.

But that popular style has now become something that restricts the other party's development.

In fact, it was a pretty good stage overall, but compared to Bai Ran and Chu Shi before, it still lacked some surprises.

At least here at Feiniao, there is no place for Rong Xiabing among his three tickets.

Before the fourth Wenren Chuncheng came on stage, Xu Kong had already left the lounge and went to the waiting area to wait.

Feiniao himself has undergone the biggest change in his opinion of the short video singer Wenren Chuncheng.

After listening to the songs that became popular in the other party’s short videos and various DJ versions, and then listening to the pop rock songs of quite good quality written on this show, I guess no one would think that this was the work of one person.

Apart from Bai Ran who gained millions of fans from being a newcomer, the person who probably benefited the most from participating in the show this time is Wenren Chuncheng.

With his performance on this show, he will be able to integrate into the mainstream music circle.

At least I won’t be mocked by so many netizens for writing songs that are all earthy and hilarious.

This time, Wenren Chuncheng sang another new pop rock song.

And the quality is much higher than his previous shows.

"The finals were truly a battle of gods. Even Wenren Chuncheng stopped pretending."

"This song is really good, and Wenren Chuncheng's performance is pretty solid as well."

"It's obvious that this song was prepared specifically for the finals. Although the chances of winning are slim, after this show, Wenren Chuncheng's image will probably be completely changed."

The current situation is indeed not very optimistic for Xu Kong.

Wenren Chuncheng's performance had just ended, and Feiniao couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Among the four people who have performed on stage so far, except for Rong Xiabing who might have been a little bit lacking, the performances of the others can be said to be surprising enough.

And compared to previous shows, almost everyone contributed their best performance in this show.

It can be seen from several songs that they have been polished for a long time and were prepared just for this final.

For Xu Kong, the enemy was coming with great force and was difficult to deal with.

The key is the difference in the number of votes in that period, which puts Xu Kong in a completely passive situation.

If you can't achieve a large number of votes, it will be difficult to win the final championship. While Fei Niao was thinking about this, Xu Kong had already walked onto the stage.

There was huge cheers and screams at the scene.

No matter what, Xu Kong is still the most popular and hottest contestant in the show, and he is leading by a huge margin.

It can be said that no matter what their purpose was, more than 70% of the people who came to watch the final came for Xu Kong's performance.

Of course, in sharp contrast to the high popularity at the scene is the barrage in the live broadcast room at this time.

"Resist the capitalism. The Chinese music scene doesn't need such connections."

"I wonder how Xu Kong is going to win this time. The script Mango prepared isn't very good. I guess they didn't expect the previous contestants to perform so well."

"I don't know what kind of song Xu Kong's new song will be. It's already this late, please don't let it suck!"

Even Xu Kong's fans or some rational passers-by were worried about Xu Kong at this moment.

The main reason is the various rhythms from the outside world this time, plus the high attention to the final of "Our Song".

If he fails to perform well in this performance, then the popularity and reputation he has won through his works over the past six months, including the honors and awards, will be eaten away at a very fast speed.

Although it will not shake the basic fans and passers-by, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get rid of the impact of this incident in a short period of time.

Xu Kong walked onto the stage carrying a guitar.

After adjusting the height of the microphone, he glanced in the direction of the band.

The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and what followed was the distorted guitar prelude.

The name of the song appeared on the screen behind Xu Kong’s stage.

"Ordinary Road"

"Lyrics: Xu Kong"

"Composition: Xu Kong"

"Singer: Xu Kong"

After the prelude of nearly ten seconds ended, Xu Kong's voice finally came.

"Wandering, on the road"

"Are you leaving, Via Via?"

"Fragile and proud"

"That was what I looked like"

As soon as Xu Kong's singing came out, Fat Bird suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.

The melody is not outstanding, but with the accompaniment of the guitar, Xu Kong's slightly low voice is particularly obvious.

"Boiling, restless"

"Where are you going, Via Via"

"Mysterious, silent"

“Are you really listening to the story?”

From the very beginning, the atmosphere of the song itself and Xu Kong's singing style seemed a bit depressing.

The melody and arrangement of this song are actually not complicated, but for some reason, it gives Fei Niao a natural feeling.

Especially when combined with the lyrics, he couldn't describe it, but he just had a special feeling. As soon as Xu Kong opened his mouth, he was completely immersed in it.

When it came to the chorus, Xu Kong's voice suddenly became higher and higher.

"I have crossed mountains and seas, and also passed through mountains and seas of people."

"Everything I once owned was gone in the blink of an eye."

"I was once lost, disappointed and lost all direction, until I realized that ordinary was the only answer."

This melody, this lyrics!!!
Xu Kong on the stage is now completely immersed in his singing.

At this moment, Fat Bird felt his whole body was numb, and he couldn't stop shaking because of excitement.

At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room of "Our Song" has exceeded 500,000, but the number of barrages is only one-tenth of that before Xu Kong came on stage.

Since Xu Kong started speaking, many people stopped posting comments and their attention was completely focused on Xu Kong's singing.

When it came to the chorus of the second part, Xu Kong's voice became increasingly high-pitched.

"I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and flowers"

"Desperate and Longing"

"I cry and laugh, I am ordinary"

At this moment, Fat Bird felt that the feeling was very similar.

Just like when Xu Kong changed his agency, disappeared for more than a month, and then appeared on the show again.

The song "Our Song" was Xu Kong's response to some voices from the outside world at that time.

And this time, in the song "Ordinary Road", Xu Kong once again conveyed his truest thoughts.

And the shock brought by the previous time was more intuitive.

What an ordinary road.
What people talk about most about Xu Kong during this period is that he has some deep background and that there is strong and huge capital behind him that is deliberately supporting him.

Feiniao simply didn't believe that Xu Kong gave this song such a title.

No wonder Xu Kong has never responded to the rumors from the outside world, because in the eyes of the other party, those are not things that need to be cared about at all.

From being a traffic idol who was criticized for being too incompetent more than half a year ago, to being nominated five out of five at the music festival later, becoming the youngest king of the Chinese music scene, and now the capital space for various rhythms that have been deliberately brought up.

This song "Ordinary Road" is equivalent to telling everyone directly that his original intention has never changed, no matter what happens, he is still the same Xu Kong.

"Move forward, just like that"

“Even if you were given something”

"Move forward, just like that"

"Even if something is taken away from you"

Xu Kong was still singing.

Many of the audience members had tears in their eyes.

Many people themselves don’t know why.

Obviously the lyrics are not the type that are very straightforward and sentimental.

But I just can't control my emotions at all.

"Fuck Capital Kong, Singer of the Year, I just like Xu Kong's songs, so what?"

"I'm just a music listener. Who cares about the singer's background and connections? Anyway, I'm going to vote for Xu Kong."

"If you're not good at it, just practice more. No matter what time it is, music can never deceive you."

The audience who had been suppressing their support for Xu Kong in the barrage finally exploded at this moment.

Even some real passers-by expressed their opinions at this moment.

"I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and flowers"

"Desperate and Longing"

"I cry and laugh, I am ordinary"

The singing continued, and every word of the lyrics seemed like Xu Kong's response to the various rhythms during this period.

"The wind blows, but the road is still far."

"Where is your story~"

As the last line of lyrics was sung, accompanied by the gradually fading guitar accompaniment, Xu Kong's voice echoed.

There was silence for a few seconds at first, and then the applause, screams and cheers of thousands of audience members broke out almost simultaneously, echoing throughout the venue.
