This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 116 Loyalty to the Country!

The camera pans to the stage of the finals.

The opening performance featured a male singer who has been quite popular recently.

A passionate and cheerful song ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue.

The camera panned across the audience, where ten thousand spectators waved glow sticks, creating a truly spectacular scene.

After heating up the atmosphere, the three celebrity mentors entered the venue, followed by other guests.

Some of the later guests were people who were put in by entertainment companies.

The show "Future Singer" is incredibly popular right now.

Many companies want to put their own artists in the program to gain exposure.

After everyone was seated, the host officially announced the rules for this round of the competition.

The current popularity rankings were also displayed on the big screen.

Fei Lingyun was the first place winner.

The second place went to Lu Ran.

The number of votes following these names continues to grow.

Even many audience members were using their phones to watch the performance and vote at the same time.

Both inside and outside the venue, there was a lively atmosphere.

After all the opening segments were finished, the first contestant took to the stage.

This contestant is a singer from Zhou Hao's class.

Unlike before, Zhou Hao couldn't sit still this time. He stood up as soon as the contestant came on stage and said a lot of words of comfort and encouragement.

It's clear that Zhou Hao values ​​this player quite a bit.

After speaking, the contestant began to sing.

After the performance, Zhou Hao even campaigned for votes for his students.

Then, the contestants from Jiang Yaofeng's class took to the stage one after another.

Finally, it was Fei Lingyun's turn.

He was the ninth player to take the stage.

The last person to go on stage was Lu Ran.

This was deliberately arranged by Xu Zi.

She wanted to schedule Lu Ran to be the last one to go on stage.

Fei Lingyun sang an inspirational song and also performed a dance, which drew cheers from the fans in the audience.

However, some audience members remained unmoved.

After Fei Lingyun stepped off the stage, the stage lights suddenly went out.

Advertisements have already started playing on television and in live broadcast rooms.

The audience could vaguely see something being prepared on stage, as if some musical instruments were being set up.

In the live stream, the chat was flooded with Lu Ran's name.

Everyone knew that Lu Ran was going to be the next to appear!
After a few minutes of commercials, the screen returned to the stage.

The lights came on, illuminating the stage.

Four large drums stand on either side of the stage.

In front of each large drum is a person dressed in armor, holding drumsticks.

Red lights surrounded the stage.

Bang!
Eight people struck the drum in unison, and the sound echoed throughout the venue.

As the drums beat, a figure slowly walked in from the back of the stage.

He was dressed in all white, and his shoes were also white.

The white shirt isn't a suit; it looks more like a training uniform, giving off a heroic vibe.

Lu Ran stood upright, not holding a microphone, but wearing an earpiece, and took steps forward.

Bang!
Another drumbeat rang out.

A line of text appeared on the large screen overhead.

"My hair stands on end in anger, as I lean against the railing, the rain has just stopped."

The drumbeats continued, and Lu Ran continued to advance.

On the big screen, characters as sharp as iron strokes and golden hooks appeared continuously.

"Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, your heart is filled with fierce ambition. Thirty years of fame and glory are but dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon. Do not idly let your youthful head turn white, only to be filled with empty sorrow."

"The shame of Jingkang remains unavenged. The hatred of the subjects will never be extinguished. I will drive my chariot and shatter the Helan Mountains. With lofty ambition, I will feast on the flesh of the barbarians when hungry, and laughingly drink their blood when thirsty. I will wait to start anew, to reclaim our lost lands, and return to the imperial palace."

One line of poetry after another appeared.

As soon as the words "Chaotianque" appeared, Lu Ran walked to the center of the stage.

The somber drumbeats had already ignited the audience's emotions.

This poem is known to every Chinese person.

This is Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong"!

"What song is Director Lu going to sing?"

"I got goosebumps before I even opened my mouth to sing!"

"What song could possibly match these lyrics!"

The tens of millions of viewers watching "The Future Singer" all had their eyes on Lu Ran.

On the large screen, the words of the poem slowly faded away.

The song title appeared on it.

Those were four large characters.

Serve the country with utmost loyalty!

The earliest source of the phrase "serving the country with utmost loyalty" is the "Biography of Yan Zhiyi" in the History of the Northern Dynasties by Li Yanshou of the Tang Dynasty: "You have received great favors from the court, and you should serve the country with utmost loyalty."

The biography of Yue Fei in the History of Song states, "Initially, He Zhu was ordered to interrogate him. Yue Fei tore his clothes to show Zhu his back, revealing four large characters, 'Serve the country with utmost loyalty,' which were deeply embedded in his skin."

This led to the idiom "Serve the country with utmost loyalty".

Once the song title was revealed, everyone understood its meaning.

The drums thundered, and the prelude began.

The show opened with the voices of the harmonizing singers, creating a somber and tragic atmosphere throughout the venue.

On stage, Lu Ran, dressed in white, looked at the 10,000 audience members and slowly began to speak.

"The smoke of war rises, and the mountains and rivers look north~"

"Dragon banners unfurl, horses neigh, sword energy gleams like frost~"

"My heart is as vast and boundless as the Yellow River." "Through twenty years of traversing the world, who can stand against me?"

As soon as those few lines of the song came out, the three mentors on the panel all showed expressions of surprise.

The song "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty" is also very difficult to sing.

What's rare is the powerful presence conveyed in the singing.

To this end, Lu Ran spent a lot of points practicing in the vocal training room.

As soon as Lu Ran opened his mouth, countless viewers were already cheering in their hearts.

"A high note is a high note, and it's Lu Ran's singing that's most pleasant to listen to!"

"The momentum is too strong, it's like singing out a thousand troops."

"Truly worthy of being Director Lu!"

Lu Ran's singing continued.

"Hate rages, the longsword points in all directions~"

"How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in foreign lands~"

"I would gladly die a hundred times to serve my country!"

"I can't help but sigh in regret, speechless, my eyes brimming with tears of blood."

As soon as the song started, the audience was drawn into its emotions.

This is the power of Lu Ran's singing voice.

The audience thought of many, many people.

Throughout history, this nation has never lacked people who would sacrifice their lives for their country.

It existed in ancient times, and it exists in modern times.

It's available now!

The accompaniment became more energetic, and Lu Ran entered the chorus.

"The horse's hooves head south, while people gaze northward."

"Looking north, the grass turns green and yellow, dust flies everywhere."

"I am willing to defend our land and expand our territory!"

"A mighty China should yield to all sides!"

"Congratulations!"

When those few lines of the chorus were sung, the whole audience erupted in cheers.

The stage beneath Lu Ran's feet slowly rose, allowing him to stand on a high place.

When the stage stopped, he sang the words "Lai He" (来贺).

The momentum is like a rainbow!

Of all the other performers today, none of them could match Lu Ran's powerful delivery.

They couldn't even mimic the expression on Lu Ran's face.

"Looking upright" is an adjective.

Lu Ran, who sang this song, made the audience feel what it means to have a righteous look on your face.

Lu Ran shines brightly on the stage, just like the blazing sun.

However, this is not the end of the story.

Just as Lai He's voice faded away, a red-tasseled spear fell from the top of the stage.

Lu Ran reached out and firmly grasped the falling red-tasseled spear.

This scene was a design that he and Xu Zi had rehearsed countless times.

The position must be exactly as it appears.

In an instant, gasps of surprise erupted from the entire audience.

This stage design was something no one had anticipated.

The next second, Lu Ran held the gun with both hands and thrust the red-tasseled spear forward.

On the big screen, another line of text appeared.

"On this tiny planet, a few flies bump against the wall. Buzzing, a few mournful cries, a few sobs. Ants on a locust tree boast of a great nation, how easy is it for a mayfly to shake a tree? The west wind blows, leaves fall in Chang'an, arrows fly and whistle."

Lu Ran spun around, and the red-tasseled spear spun nimbly in his hand.

The poems on the screen were also appearing rapidly.

"So many things are urgent; the world turns, time presses on. Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day."

"The seas are churning and the clouds are raging; the five continents are shaking and the winds and thunder are roaring. We must sweep away all harmful insects and be invincible."

This poem is also titled "Man Jiang Hong".

Both poems are titled "Man Jiang Hong," but their artistic conceptions are completely different.

From the Imperial Palace to being invincible.

This is also the change in China today.

The humiliation we endured has gradually disappeared.

In this world, no one can make us grieve in vain again!
"You have no right to speak to China. You should speak to China based on your power and status!"

"If China had really provided supplies, the situation on the battlefield would be very different today!"

"If you want war, whether it's a tariff war, a trade war, or any other war, we will fight to the end!"

The confidence behind these words stems from the presence of a powerful nation.

Behind this powerful nation stand countless Chinese people who are devoted to serving their country!

On the stage, the spear tip danced, drawing streaks of silver light in the air, accompanied by the fluttering of red tassels.

Lu Ran's white robes were also fluttering.

During the interlude, Lu Ran finished wielding his gun.

Holding a red-tasseled spear, he continued singing.

The lyrics are a repetition of the previous ones, but the singing style has changed.

In terms of the song's emotion, the emotion is even more intensified.

When the line "Horses gallop south, people gaze north" played once more, the emotions contained in the song completely erupted.

"A mighty China should yield to all sides!"

"Congratulations!"

Lu Ran's powerful singing voice filled the entire venue, igniting the passion in the hearts of the audience.

The red lights shone on the stage, flowing slowly like a river.

This is Man Jiang Hong!
