Chapter 328 He Said that This Little Pain in the Wind and Rain Is Nothing
At the competition site, the audience was in high spirits.
The singing king competition began.
Qi Tian announced the results of the draw.
The Monkey King was first, the Lion King was second, and the Wolf Man was third.
"I now think it's not a good idea to be the first to appear, because you can't change songs based on the performance of the previous contestants." Zhao Lei suddenly said.
"That's right, this is only the second episode, and the Monkey King and the Wolf Man have already changed songs, and the song changes have achieved very good results. The Monkey King won the singing king, and the Wolf Man successfully advanced." Liang Feifan analyzed.
The audience also noticed this.
"I said that the Monkey King had a great advantage in the first episode."
"Whoever comes last in this competition will have an advantage."
The audience talked a lot, and they all thought it was better to go on stage later.
"This time the Monkey King is the first to go on stage, and he can't change the song. Can he perform miracles again?"
"I have reservations."
"Even if he sings "Big Fish" again, it won't be as shocking as the first time."
"By the way, when Chen Zhiqiu was leaving the stage just now, the Monkey King seemed to stop him and say something."
"Yes, I noticed that too. Chen Zhiqiu looked very surprised."
"Is he mocking him? That's too bad of a person."
The audience was talking about it.
Looking at the lively scene in the audience, Qi Tian said: "Let's welcome the Monkey King with warm applause!"
The applause was very warm. Amid the discussion of the audience, Xu Nuo walked to the stage.
The Monkey King's fame is now close to that of the werewolf and the jade-faced fox. Even Chen Zhiqiu, who has revealed his identity, is not as good as him.
"I really want to know who he is."
"Someone come and kill him!"
Everyone stared at him, and Xu Nuo saw a lot of things from their eyes.
Everyone was expecting him to reveal his identity, or waiting for him to fail and reveal his identity.
Xu Nuo raised his lips, afraid that he would disappoint them. No one could guess him just by his voice.
Xu Nuo made a gesture and the lights went out.
The big screen lit up and everyone looked at it in unison.
Although it was only the second episode, everyone knew that the Monkey King never went back.
So far, he has sung new songs.
Only Kevin Shen and Yu Zhou have sung new songs all the way in the competition.
Will the Monkey King copy their miracle?
A song title can make everyone full of expectations.
The song title slowly appeared on the screen.
The song is called "Sailor".
Clap, clap, and the applause rang out.
"The Monkey King! The Monkey King!"
Just a song title ignited the atmosphere on the scene, and someone began to shout his name.
"Sure enough, it's another new song." Wu Gaofeng retracted his gaze.
"It seems that the Monkey King is ready to carry out the new song to the end." Zhao Lei touched his chin.
"Every time he sings a new song, his style is different, which makes it impossible for me to guess." Liang Feifan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Which big guy is here to tease us?"
"It feels like a promise." Li Zhengyi mentioned casually.
No one took it seriously.
The music started, the rhythmic music made people feel relaxed and happy.
"Sailor", a song released by Zheng Zhihua in 1992. Other songs were popular on Douyin, but this song became popular in the textbook.
In 2001, "Sailor" was selected into the "Music" textbook for the first grade of Shanghai junior high school.
For more than 30 years, this song has helped countless people through the dark days.
The sentence "He said that in the wind and rain, this little pain is nothing." has become the source of spiritual strength for countless people.
The prelude was a bit long, and everyone was whispering.
In the lounge, Chen Zhiqiu's return made the temporary agent excited.
"Brother Qiu, why are you back?" The agent said excitedly.
Generally, singers who are eliminated will choose to leave directly. After all, this stage no longer belongs to him, and staying here is a torment.
"The Great Sage told me to leave later." Chen Zhiqiu smiled.
"Ah?"
"He said this song is very suitable and asked me to listen to it before leaving." Chen Zhiqiu said bluntly.
"Great, Brother Qiu, please sign for me!" The agent excitedly brought paper and pen.
"Okay." Chen Zhiqiu felt warm in her heart and signed for her.
"Another photo?" The agent tried.
Chen Zhiqiu accepted everyone who came. He was intoxicated by the feeling that fans still remembered him after being away from the entertainment industry for more than ten years.
The lights were shining and everyone was paying attention. He liked this stage.
It was a pity that he was going to be eliminated.
Sitting in the lounge, Chen Zhiqiu looked at the song title on the screen and was stunned for a moment.
"Sailor", is this a song about sailors?
He lived by the sea since he was a child, and his father was a sailor. No wonder the Monkey King asked him to listen to it.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiqiu's heart moved, "No, this song was prepared in advance, but before today's competition, I should not have revealed my identity, right?"
"Yeah, everyone was guessing who you were at that time."
With doubts, Chen Zhiqiu continued to look at the screen.
The prelude was very nice, with the drums and keyboard playing in a clear rhythm.
"This is not rock."
"In fact, we all know that on the competition stage, we need to sing some songs that can stir up the atmosphere, such as rock, high notes, or songs like "Big Fish" that can bring freshness to everyone."
Some people were not optimistic about the Monkey King.
Under the attention of the crowd, the Monkey King on the stage finally moved.
"The feeling of bitter sand blowing on my face,
like my father's scolding and my mother's crying,
I will never forget it."
The singing sounded, just like a salty sea breeze blowing, and it seemed that the voices of parents could be heard faintly.
The rich atmosphere of life seemed to bring everyone back to their childhood.
Chen Zhiqiu stared at the screen blankly, a little lost.
It was so similar, his life when he was a child was like this.
The singing continued.
"When I was young,
I liked to be alone at the beach,
rolled up my trouser legs and stepped on the beach barefoot,
I always imagined that there was another world at the end of the ocean,
I always thought that the brave sailors were real men,
I always looked weak and cowardly,
when I was bullied, I always heard the sailors say..."
Chen Zhiqiu stared at the screen, and his eyes seemed to see the past years through the screen.
When he was young, his favorite thing was to walk barefoot on the beach, looking at the turbulent sea, and imagining what the other side of the sea looked like.
Later, he left his hometown and plunged into the entertainment industry.
Participated in the competition and won the championship, signed an entertainment company, and then terminated the contract... Life is always full of setbacks, and he has been oppressed by life countless times. He has thought about giving up.
The song "The Monkey King" seemed to be sung for him, especially the main part.
On the stage, with the rhythm of the drums beating, the Monkey King began to sing the main part.
"He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing,
wipe away your tears and don't be afraid,
at least we still have dreams,
he said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing,
wipe away your tears and don't ask why."
It was a simple singing method, without high notes, no transitions, and no skills to show singing skills, even the voice was so ordinary.
However, it was such a singing voice that moved everyone present.
The drums hit everyone's heart again and again.
The most straightforward lyrics have the most touching magic.
Wu Gaofeng nodded to the rhythm, and the long-renowned king was obviously moved by the singing.
Zhao Lei kept mumbling something in his mouth.
Li Zhengyi frowned, as a master of lyrics and music, he could certainly hear the wonderful part of this song.
The lyrics are simple and the arrangement is not complicated, but the core of this song transcends the song itself.
Who is this? The spiritual core of this song is definitely a masterpiece by a master, but he basically knows all the masters with names.
The only clue is no Monkey King.
"Who is this?" Li Zhengyi couldn't help asking.
Liang Feifan was the most exaggerated. He had already hummed along. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Who cares, it's fine as long as it sounds good."
Zhao Lei was still muttering: "The lyrics are so grand and spirited. I thought it was a teacher who came."
"I can't guess it."
Several people in the guessing group have already sung along.
Many people at the scene began to hum.
After all, this song has no ups and downs, and it is not difficult to sing. You can understand it as soon as you hear it and learn it as soon as you learn it.
"After growing up, I worked hard for my ideals,
and gradually ignored the news of my father, mother and hometown.
Now my life is like acting,
saying insincere words and wearing a hypocritical mask."
Chen Zhiqiu's eyes were red.
At the age of 19, he left his hometown and chose to go inland to pursue his musical dream, leaving his hometown behind, leaving his parents and hometown behind.
He thought he would be able to stand out, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.
The entertainment industry is full of capital and blood, so he had to compromise again and again, saying things that were not what he meant.
"Brother Qiu? What's wrong with you?" the agent asked cautiously.
Chen Zhiqiu turned around and looked at the agent who was concerned, "Nothing."
At this time, he suddenly smiled: "Can I go to the stage to listen?"
The agent was at a loss and was about to ask the director.
"Okay, go." Hong Liu's voice came from the headset.
"Director Hong agreed!" The agent said in surprise.
"Thank you." Chen Zhiqiu got up and left the lounge.
When he appeared on the stage again, the audience was a little surprised, but they still gave him a round of applause.
Chen Zhiqiu did not go to the center of the stage, but went to the guessing panel to find a seat to squeeze in.
It would be a huge regret for him if he could not listen to this song "Sailor" live.
"Come here!" Chen Zhiqiu was stopped by Wu Gaofeng.
He was a little stunned. Wu Gaofeng's position was not suitable for him to sit. The gap between the two was too big.
"Come over here." Wu Gaofeng waved.
Chen Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment and walked over.
The audience also saw this scene, and they all sighed that Wu Gaofeng was worthy of being the king of heaven, and no one could match his demeanor.
Xu Nuo on the stage was a little surprised, but he still had to sing, so he just nodded slightly.
The singing continued.
"Always using insignificant achievements to deceive yourself,
Always inexplicably feel a burst of emptiness,
Always rely on a little alcohol anesthesia to fall asleep,
I seem to hear the sailor say again between half asleep and half awake."
Everyone was excited, and the climax was coming again.
