At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Chapter 220, Director Lin is numb! (Please subscribe)
on the stage.

As the lights came on, a lively prelude began.

Chen Qingzhu, wearing a white dress, spoke first:
The vast horizon is my love
Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills.

Although Chen Qingzhu was not famous, she was a very good singer, even better than some well-known singers.

That's just how the music industry is; singing well doesn't necessarily make you famous, since there are just too many people who can sing well!

Chen Qingzhu's voice and temperament are a perfect match for the song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style". Although the audience did not know her, she amazed many people as soon as she opened her mouth.

"That's awesome!"

"This woman is amazing!"

"Top-notch singing skills!"

"Suddenly I felt like I was at the scene of a gala."

Some people in the audience sighed, while others whispered among themselves.

Apart from Yang Nian, who had already heard Chen Qingzhu sing during rehearsals, the other three mentors all showed expressions of surprise.

Zhou Dawei even nodded subconsciously. For the mentors, the type of song was not important.

The important thing is whether the song has the potential to spread and whether it can generate traffic.

The times have changed.

The works are too sophisticated for the general public, and mentors like Zhou Dawei and Li Kun are too lazy to praise them.

Because it doesn't bring any real benefits!
Whether it's film and television dramas or musical works, they are all ultimately for the purpose of entertaining and pleasing the audience.

Instead of educating the audience.

It would be even better if entertainment could convey some positive messages and values.

But this is definitely not the first point. No one will suddenly have a complete awakening and change their original mindset just because they watched a movie or listened to a song.

unconsciously.

The chorus begins.

Chen Qingzhu:
You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky.
Let me keep you with all my heart

All members of the Red Rose Band:
Stay!

……

"Wait, why is this song getting more and more addictive?"

"Why do I want to shout it too!"

"My arms, why do they just want to swing uncontrollably!"

"You've got something special, kind of tacky!"

During the song's interlude.

The audience members were whispering among themselves.

Beginning with section B.

It was Lin Xiamo's turn to sing:
The vast horizon is my love
Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills.

The lyrics remain largely unchanged.

But when Lin Xiamo sang this song, it was a completely different feeling from when Chen Qingzhu sang it.

When Chen Qingzhu sings, the audience feels as if they are at a gala.

Lin Xiamo then transported the audience from the gala to a concert.

Her folk-style songs gave them a pop song feel.

But one thing remains unchanged: Hi!
Still having a blast!

Especially after the chorus, which had been repeated several times before, came again.

The audience members below the stage could no longer restrain their emotions and began swaying their bodies to the rhythm of the music.

The chorus comes again.

Lin Xiamo:
You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky.
Let me keep you with all my heart

All audience members:

Stay here!!!
Originally, this sound should have been made by Chen Qingzhu, Hu Tingting, and the other two together.

This was rehearsed beforehand.

When Chen Qingzhu sang the lead vocals, Lin Xiamo and three teammates provided harmonies.

When Lin Xiamo sang the lead vocals, Chen Qingzhu and the other three chords provided harmonies.

As a result, the audience's voices completely drowned out the voices of Chen Qingzhu and the other three.

When we do it again...

Even the four mentors joined the "stay" group.

The atmosphere at the entire recording site was energized.

Wait until the performance ends.

Chen Qingzhu and her daughter Lin Xiamo held hands and bowed to take their bows.

The audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Some audience members even whistled.

"Thank you to Ms. Chen Qingzhu and the Red Rose Band for their wonderful performance."

"The voting channel is now open. If you enjoyed the performance, please cast your vote."

"Next, please welcome our four mentors to give their comments on the performance and cast your votes!"

"Teacher Dawei, please go first..."

Host Zhang Zhihua walked onto the stage and began the program.

Zhou Dawei, whose name was called, pulled the microphone on the table closer to his mouth: "A very amazing performance, exceeding my expectations, especially this song, because it is an original, I didn't have high hopes for it."

"I'd like to ask, did your band write this song?"

"That's it!"

Lin Xiamo nodded.

"Really?"

"What does it mean?"

Zhou Dawei shrugged and pressed for an answer.

"The lyricist and composer of this song is Shen Qiushan, who is a candidate member of our Red Rose Band."

Lin Xiamo gave a very serious explanation.

The idea of ​​having a substitute member was brought up by Shen Qiushan himself, and he even had Hu Tingting put his name in the profile of the Red Rose Band's Kuaiyin account.

"Shen Qiushan?"

"The author of 'The Three-Body Problem'?"

"Nebula Award winner, renowned author?"

Li Kun picked up the conversation and immediately launched into a three-question barrage, clearly showing his astonishment.

In fact, it wasn't just him; the audience was already in an uproar after learning that the song was actually written by Shen Qiushan.

Shen Qiushan is quite well-known, after all, he has been trending on social media multiple times.

Moreover, he is the first and only Nebula Award recipient in China.

Since they are not celebrities, many people might not recognize them at first glance.

However, the name "Shen Qiushan" is still very well-known, even more so than the four mentors present.

"Yes, it's the writer Shen Qiushan."

Lin Xiamo nodded, and said with some pride, "Red Rose is also his work."

"It really is Teacher Shen!"

"Too good!"

Li Kun gave a thumbs up.

"I never imagined that 'Red Rose' and this song 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style' were written by the same person."

"As a fellow creator, I am truly in awe!"

"Because only the creators know how difficult it is!"

Guo Yanbin took over the conversation. He is a singer-songwriter, and he writes 80% of his own songs. He is a recognized talent in the music industry.

Therefore, his words still carry considerable weight.

"I absolutely love 'The Three-Body Problem'!"

"Since Teacher Shen is also considered a member of your band, is it possible that he will come to the competition later on?"

Zhou Dawei asked.

"This is good!"

"I'm also really looking forward to seeing Teacher Shen."

Li Kun echoed this sentiment.

"It's probably possible."

Lin Xiamo hadn't considered having Shen Qiushan participate in the competition, but it wasn't out of the question if necessary.

After chatting about Shen Qiushan for a while, everyone turned their attention to Chen Qingzhu, the guest performer.

"I didn't think this song was a good match for the Red Rose Band, but after Teacher Chen joined, the sense of incongruity disappeared completely. That must be the charm of the guest performance competition."

"The addition of guest performers gives the contestants more possibilities, I give them 25 votes!"

Each of the four mentors has 25 votes, and they can give 0 to 25 votes according to their own preferences.

Li Kun, who was the first to express his opinion, gave it a full vote.

"I'll give you 25 votes too!" Guo Yanbin echoed, then praised, "Teacher Chen and Momo's mother-daughter duo is fantastic! I even think Teacher Chen could be a member of the Red Rose Band."

"This group is the best performing group so far in my opinion!"

"So, I also have 25 votes!"

Zhou Dawei also gave a full vote.

"Three perfect votes!"

"Well then, Ms. Yang Nian."

"Whether we can get four full votes depends on you."

The host, Zhang Zhihua, said to Yang Nian with a smile.

As a mentor to the Red Rose Band, Yang Nian has refrained from making any comments, which can be seen as a tacit understanding among the four mentors.

Once a player from their own team is performing on stage, the team's mentor will give a final comment.

"I would like to use two words to describe the performance by the Red Rose Band and Teacher Chen."

"Perfect!"

Yang Nian praised lavishly: "It was truly perfect, better than any rehearsal before!"

"Especially Teacher Chen, he is really very steady, and he is very serious during every rehearsal. This attitude is something that we young singers should learn from!"

"Therefore, 25 votes are a certainty!"

"I also want to say that 25 votes is the maximum allowed by the production team, not my maximum!"

Wow!
Yang finished speaking.

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from the audience.

Zhang Zhihua then loudly announced, "OK, the mentors' votes are now in."

"The Red Rose Band has won 100 mentor tickets!"

"Full marks!"

"Let's congratulate the Red Rose Band!"

Zhang Zhihua led the applause.

The audience erupted in applause and cheers once again.

Once the commotion subsided, he continued, "Next, the public voting channel will be closed."

"Public voters who haven't voted yet, please vote as soon as possible. 10 seconds left..."

Wait for the countdown to end.

Zhang Zhihua read another advertisement.

"Now, let's reveal the number of votes cast by the public jury."

"Please look at the big screen!"

As Zhang Zhihua spoke, everyone's eyes fell on the big screen.

A line of numbers scrolled rapidly.

The thousands digit has been reduced to zero!
The hundreds digit is nine!
Next, the tens digit and the units digit stop scrolling.

Number frozen: 0962
"The Red Rose Band received 962 votes from the public jury!"

"Total votes: 1062!"

"Temporarily ranked number one!"

Congratulations to the Red Rose Band!

Zhang Zhihua announced loudly.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

Chen Qingzhu and her daughter Lin Xiamo quickly expressed their gratitude.

Return to the lounge.

Chen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a smile, "At least I didn't hold you back."

"Auntie, you didn't just not hold us back, you practically carried us to the top!"

"Yes, yes, it's super stable!"

"Even more stable than Momo!"

Hu Tingting and Zhu Xinyue both praised it.

Fang Di nodded in agreement: "This time we really performed better than during rehearsals."

"Alright, I'll take this seriously!"

"You bunch of kids!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled broadly. Despite her extensive stage experience, this was her first time appearing on such a high-profile program as "Voice of China," so it was impossible for her not to be nervous.

Before going on stage, she nervously went to the restroom.

Fortunately, there were no major mistakes during the performance, and she was very satisfied with her performance.

Right now, Chen Qingzhu is already looking forward to the show airing.

Although the feedback from the mentors and the audience was very positive, the number of people present was only a little over 1000, which is still too small compared to the tens or even hundreds of millions of viewers.

She still wanted to see the reactions from netizens and viewers after the show aired.

Does this "retired singer" still have the ability to contribute her remaining energy?
"I'll send a message to Akiyama and let him know."

Chen Qingzhu couldn't wait to share this joy with her son-in-law, Shen Qiushan, who had been a strong supporter of her.

It's another weekend.

The quarterfinals of "Voice of China" were broadcast as scheduled.

Due to time constraints, the quarterfinals were split into two parts.

This episode features the "guest singing competition".

eight pm.

Lin.

Chen Qingzhu sat in front of the television early in the morning.

"No, where's my news?"

"What the hell is this?"

Lin Moxuan brewed himself a pot of tea and sat down on the sofa.

His usual routine was to drink tea while watching the evening news and keeping up with current affairs.

As a result, his wife, Chen Qingzhu, started watching commercials on TV.

"do not move!"

"I'm not watching the news today!"

Chen Qingzhu simply put the remote control away.

"Ok?"

"What else should we watch if not the news?"

Lin Moxuan frowned and said with a straight face, "You know perfectly well that I'm doing this for work!"

"After being a bureau chief's family member for so many years, why can't you improve your ideological awareness?"

"okay!"

Don't give me that talk about ideology and awareness!

Chen Qingzhu pursed her lips, completely unmoved by this: "The latest episode of 'Voice of China' will be broadcast soon."

Don't you want to see Momo?

"Is it going to air again?"

Lin Moxuan put the teacup he was holding on the coffee table and said nonchalantly, "There's nothing much to see. Momo's performance hasn't always been very good."

"However, I still think she is more suited to a university position. After the competition, she should work diligently."

Lin Moxuan was unaware that his daughter, Lin Xiamo, had resigned from her job.

Director Lin was still dreaming that after the competition ended, Lin Xiamo could focus all her attention on her work.

"I think Momo is more suited to be a singer!"

"Look at her on stage, how at ease she is."

Chen Qingzhu knew about Lin Xiamo's resignation.

However, she had already been "turned to the side" and was now completely on the side of Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo.

According to the three's plan, they would tell Lin Moxuan about their resignation after "Voice of China" ended.

"How do you know she wasn't very good at her job at the university?"

Lin Moxuan pursed his lips slightly. He always felt that his daughter was more suited to a stable job within the system.

"Alright, stop talking."

"The show has started!"

Chen Qingzhu was too lazy to argue, but silently thought to herself: What do you know! Momo resigned a long time ago!
As Chen Qingzhu spoke, Lin Moxuan's gaze unconsciously fell on the television screen.

He said he didn't care.

In fact, he is still very concerned about his daughter's performance on the show.

After all, she was Lin Moxuan's daughter!

However, just as he was waiting to see his daughter, another familiar figure appeared on the television screen.

Lin Moxuan was completely stunned. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his wife sitting next to him: "No, you..."
