Chapter 69 Let Him Speak

After leaving the small room, the five mentors came to the scene. At this time, 100 audience members had already taken their seats and cheered immediately when they saw them.

The mentors smiled and waved, then sat down in their seats.

It was close to seven o'clock, and no host appeared. The big screen in front started counting down directly.

"10...9...8..." Under the leadership of the staff, the audience also counted down together, "3...2...1!"

When the number returned to zero, the big screen in front of the scene began to play the opening video. The video showed the footsteps of each student coming to the show, only footsteps, no faces.

Seeing this, Wu Zhou couldn't help but say: "This is really... do you have to keep it secret? You are already here, and you only show your legs!"

Hearing his complaints, the audience also laughed.

In the waiting room, the contestants can also see the scene. Although they cheered together when the mentors came out, they were actually a little nervous. During the rehearsal yesterday, they already knew which room to go to if they advanced and which channel to go if they were eliminated. It won't be long before they will enter one of the doors.

Under the camera, many people were still talking and laughing, but the atmosphere in the room gradually became solemn, as if there was a low pressure hovering overhead.

After the live clip ended and the rules of the competition were introduced to the audience, the radio turned on: "Now, please welcome the first contestant to the stage!"

On the screen, close-up silhouettes flashed, and three seconds later, they were frozen and revealed, and Xu Rui's half-length photo appeared on the big screen.

Then the radio sounded again: "Xu Rui, 23 years old, after the work "The Rest of Life" was launched, the total number of online broadcasts reached 160 million in one week."

The introduction was very simple, without mentioning "first sight CP" and the number of Weibo fans. Unlike other Internet celebrity singers, Xu Rui's fans came more from the love variety show "Falling in Love at First Sight" rather than singing. It was good for him to skip it for the time being, and Lu Ziliang also mentioned it to the program team.

Although he knew that he would be on stage early, Xu Rui was still a little surprised to be the first one. He stood up amid the exclamations and cheers of the contestants.

Tang E could no longer sit still at the scene: "Why would he come? I thought it was just a rumor on the Internet. Ah... I'm looking forward to it."

"You were his observer in the last show, right?" Jiang Hantao said with a smile. He didn't mention the name and details of the show, but it was enough to show that he had seen it.

Tang E nodded and praised him generously: "Yes, I am very optimistic about him, very optimistic!"

Bai Maojie said: "You are so optimistic, and you are the first to appear. It seems worth looking forward to."

As he spoke, Xu Rui appeared on the stage: "Hello, mentors, I am Xu Rui. The song I brought today is called "Nobody"."

"We are looking forward to it. Let's start." Wei Yumeng smiled.

Xu Rui looked at the band teacher, who nodded at him, and then the accompaniment sounded. At the same time, the music score also appeared on the tablet in front of the mentor.

During the short prelude, Xu Rui closed his eyes. He did not feel the tension in his heart. Facing the audience, the cells in his body seemed to be jumping candies poured into his mouth, jumping happily. It seemed that there was still a little complaint hidden, complaining about why he stood on the stage.

"So I like this feeling?" Xu Rui didn't want to admit it. He always felt that he was a person who liked to keep a low profile and didn't want to be noticed too much.

However, there was no time for him to think too much. Before entering the main song, he habitually raised the toes of his right foot gently, and then gently dropped them, beating the beat. When the toes fell for the last time, he opened his eyes.

"The lights of the city at dawn

There are always halos falling

Imitators one after another

..."

As soon as Xu Rui opened his mouth, he conquered the audience. His voice was very clean and clear, but when singing this song, he deliberately sang a little hoarsely, creating a sense of exhaustion from exhausting all his strength.

Every line of lyrics, like the lights of the stage, hit everyone, as if each of them was the protagonist of this song.

"Burn gorgeous fireworks

It's enough to bloom once, what else do you want

..."

In the waiting room, a group of contestants looked at the screen, and their inner anxiety and tension were gradually dispersed by the singing.

That's right, they all understand that the place they are going to with their dreams needs to pass through a single-plank bridge, and most of them can't cross it. If this is the last chance, maybe "burn gorgeous fireworks, bloom once is enough, what else do you want" is the best choice.

"Who am I, an unknown person

It doesn't matter who I forget

Everyone has worked hard to the end of his life

..."

Music director Zheng Hongyang closed his eyes and enjoyed it. After replacing the synthesized sound of the demo with the band during the rehearsal, he suggested to the chief director Ma Zhiru to put Xu Rui in the first place to set the tone for this "Original New Generation".

A group of young and unknown new generation musicians are moving forward fearlessly. They are destined to open a new era of domestic music!

This is the voice he wants to hear, the song he wants to hear!

Zheng Hongyang's voice is also the voice of the mentors on the stage at this moment.

When the song ended, Bai Maojie didn't even let Xu Rui say a few words before he could help but speak first: "Before this, our mentors all filmed a VCR, in which there was a question asking me what kind of music I wanted to find when I came here. At that time, I didn't know how to describe it. Now I understand. The music I want to find is like this. After listening to it, I feel that I am old and can be replaced by young people at any time. This is the music I want."

"Thank you!" Xu Rui thanked him calmly.

He didn't have much excitement, only the inner joy after singing. He used singing to convey his emotions and infect the audience. It turned out to be such a refreshing thing.

As for Bai Maojie’s evaluation, Xu Rui couldn’t help but murmur in his heart, could this person be borrowing from him Versailles, which translated to “I have been singing in the front line for so many years, one singer after another, but I have always stood firm, can someone please Rush down from the front line."

Or, did someone hire Bai Maojie to flatter and kill him?

Xu Rui was a little sinister for a while. This was his secret to keeping a low profile. After all, when he thought that the people around him might harm him, he would not easily become inflated.

"Teacher Bai Maojie's evaluation is very high. I can't praise anything new." Jiang Hantao said with a smile, "It's very mature music. There are no faults in the lyrics and music. It resonates with me very much and understands my past experience." People should know that I am definitely not lying.”

"Thank you." Xu Rui thanked him again.

"Xu Rui, you're here!" Tang He slapped the table, "I really didn't expect you to come. Your song proves that I was absolutely right to be optimistic about you!"

"Thank you." Xu Rui really wanted to say that although you are an observer of "Love at First Sight", this is still the first time for us to meet. It is easy for people to misunderstand you if you are so excited!

Seeing that there were too many good things to say and nothing to criticize, Wu Zhou simply suggested: "Then let's vote. I don't think there is any suspense."

Bai Maojie nodded: "Come on."

Just as they were preparing, the deputy director next to Ma Zhiru became anxious and grabbed his microphone to remind him: "You haven't let him speak yet, let him speak!"
