Chapter 53: The Voice of China Semi-Finals Air!
Sunday, 7:30 p.m.
There's only half an hour left until the semi-finals of "The Voice of China" air.
A university in Yenching.
Girls' dormitory 404.
The four girls finished washing up early, changed into comfortable pajamas, and sat around the desks that were pushed together.
The table was covered with duck necks, fried chicken, and cola.
"It's starting! It's starting!"
As the familiar opening theme song began to play, Chen Tingting excitedly slammed her hand on the table, shouting, "Go, Xianyu! Go, Zhixing too!"
Wang Siyu, with a face mask on, rolled her eyes: "You're quite adept at being a fence-sitter."
"Oh, only children make choices, I want them all!" Chen Tingting grabbed a duck neck with a straight face. "Besides, I think Lin Zhixing is getting more and more charming lately, that kind of roguish and handsome vibe, tsk tsk."
The battle in Group A didn't cause much of a stir in the dormitory until Li Ziming appeared, whose aura as a king of traditional Chinese style was truly eye-catching.
"Li Ziming is really strong," Chen Tingting mumbled between eating sunflower seeds.
"Yes, the traditional Chinese folk songs were sung so well. The charm of those songs is something that most people can't imitate." Li Meng nodded in agreement while gnawing on a duck neck.
We've moved on to Group B.
Zhang Xianyu makes his appearance.
"Wow! So handsome!" Chen Tingting cupped her face, her eyes sparkling. "That white suit makes him look like a prince! He sang 'Deep Love' so emotionally, I almost cried."
Li Meng nodded objectively: "It's really good, a big improvement. It feels like they really put their heart into it this time."
When the final score of 91.2 was announced, Chen Tingting jumped up with joy, as if she herself had won first place. "I knew Xianyu-gege was the best!"
The competition in Group C was relatively uneventful. Although Wu Hao successfully advanced with a rock love song, it only caused a small commotion in the dormitory.
The most attention is naturally focused on Group D!
Gu Qingzhou was the first to appear.
Wearing a well-tailored suit, he played R&B vocal runs with flair and had an excellent stage presence.
"This adaptation is amazing! It's so sophisticated!"
Final score: 91.2 points!
Wow! That's so tall?
"Lin Zhixing is in trouble..."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mubai appeared.
The song "The Rain Keeps Falling" exudes a melancholic atmosphere that seems to overflow the screen, perfectly capturing the bitterness of unrequited love.
Final score: 92.3 points!
"It's over..." Chen Tingting bit her lip, even the duck neck in her hand no longer tasted good. "Jiang Mubai's score is too high! The highest score in the whole game! How can we win like this?"
Wang Siyu frowned as well. "It's really uncertain. Love songs are Jiang Mubai's forte, and this song is a good choice, with high national recognition and easy to empathize with. Lin Zhixing can only win if he can come up with a nuclear-level masterpiece."
On the screen, the host announced:
"Please welcome—Lin Zhixing!"
......
Yanjing.
Zhou family.
"Dad, hurry up! We're at Lin Zhixing's place! Stop looking at that stupid report!"
Wearing a silk nightgown, Zhou Xuan, like a little girl, pulled her father, Zhou Liren, and pressed him down onto the expensive Italian leather sofa in the living room.
Zhou Liren reluctantly took off his reading glasses and put down the documents in his hand, but he was also a little curious.
These past few days, his daughter has been praising this young man to the skies, even saying she'd break company rules for him. He wants to see just how capable this Lin Zhixing really is.
Just then, the screen went black, followed by a beam of spotlight.
Lin Zhixing entered the stage carrying a guitar.
A simple white shirt, clean guitar music, no unnecessary accompaniment or stage design.
"Clang—clang—"
When the prelude to "Sunny Day" began, and the simple guitar sound flowed out, Zhou Liren's expression changed.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
The melody and arrangement seem simple, but they are actually catchy and have great potential to become popular.
"The little yellow flower of the story..."
"I've been drifting since the year I was born..."
When Lin Zhixing spoke, Zhou Liren sat up straight and leaned forward slightly.
That slightly languid yet magnetic voice was like an evening breeze gently brushing past my ear.
"This voice is truly exceptional. The timbre is highly distinctive, and the emotional expression is nuanced. It doesn't rely on technical skill, yet it's more moving than any technically impressive performance."
Zhou Liren couldn't help but comment.
"The day I skipped class for you..."
"On this windy day, I tried holding your hand..."
Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a very long time...
"But in the end, it seems you still said goodbye."
After listening to the song, Zhou Liren remained silent for a long time, seemingly savoring the moment.
"These lyrics and music..." Zhou Liren exclaimed, "They're so well written. The regret, the bittersweetness of youth, are captured perfectly. This song has the potential to be a hit."
"How was it, Dad?" Zhou Xuan asked expectantly, as if she had won an award. "Wasn't it amazing?"
"sharp."
Zhou Liren nodded. "This song is definitely a hit. And... this Lin Zhixing has such obvious superstar potential. Both his typhoon response and his songwriting are impeccable."
He pondered for a moment, then immediately made a decision, "Xuanxuan, the condition you mentioned last time... I've thought about it, and it's not something we can't discuss."
"Really?!" Zhou Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
"Although setting up a personal studio is difficult, if someone is truly this talented, we can make an exception for them. They can be affiliated with a studio; you can talk to them about it. If we can secure their services, this concession is worthwhile."
......
404 Dormitory.
The song ended.
The four girls were still immersed in that faint sadness and couldn't pull themselves out.
"Waaaah... I remembered the boy I had a crush on in high school... It was raining that day too, and he lent me his umbrella..."
"This is so beautiful... I want to cry... It's such a simple melody, why is it so touching?"
However, when they saw that the media reviewers only gave it 82.5 points, the dorm completely exploded!
"Holy crap! Are these judges deaf?!"
Chen Tingting was so angry that she crushed the Coke bottle in her hand. "82.5? Bah! Such a good song only gets such a low score? It's a rigged score! It's absolutely a rigged score! Have they lost their conscience?!"
"That's outrageous!" Li Meng exclaimed angrily, wiping away her tears as she cursed, "Isn't this blatant bullying? Jiang Mubai scored over 90, why is Lin Zhixing's score so low?"
Next, the scores from the public jury were announced.
99 points!
An incredible reversal!
"Ahhhhh!"
Four girls hugged each other and screamed so loudly that the dorm next door could hear them, almost attracting the attention of the dorm supervisor.
"A miraculous comeback! That's awesome!"
"Hahaha, 99 points! That's amazing! Well done, audience judges!"
"We won! We won! A buzzer-beater by 0.1 points! That was awesome!"
"Yeah, a comeback from 0.1 points, hahaha."
"Lin Zhixing is awesome! This is the will of the people! The audience's eyes are discerning!"
"Those media critics must be slapped in the face! They deserved it!"
"Awesome! This is so awesome! It's even more awesome than reading a wish-fulfillment novel!"
......
Lin.
Lin's father, Lin Jianguo, and mother, Wang Xiufen, sat in front of the television. There was cut fruit on the coffee table, but neither of them touched it.
Although they couldn't understand any techniques or vocal runs, the elderly couple couldn't help but smile when they heard their son sing "The Day I Skipped Class for You".
"That brat, he must have skipped a lot of classes back in school," Lin Jianguo said with a laugh. "No wonder the teachers were always calling his parents in."
When Lin Jianguo saw the low scores given by the media, he was so angry he almost threw the remote control. "What's wrong with these people? Giving scores randomly? That guy named Jiang something, his singing was just so-so, how come he got such a high score? Are they bullying my son because he doesn't have any connections? What kind of lousy judges are these!"
Wang Xiufen also became anxious, "This is too outrageous! Isn't this blatant bullying?"
Fortunately, the audience judges gave a strong performance, scoring 99 points and securing their advancement!
"Good! Well done!"
Lin Jianguo slapped his thigh and shouted, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people! Our son is capable; no one can suppress him!"
......
The semi-final results were unexpected and a complete reversal, generating a huge buzz and flooding the internet with discussions!
Everywhere you look, there are discussions about The Voice of China, Lin Zhixing, and "Sunny Day"!
