Forever Yielding to Tragic Heroism

No one thought Zhang Xiaorong's song "Xiaguang" was written by An Luning.

After all, the audience had watched this girl grow up to some extent. If she had the talent for songwriting, how could she have hidden it until now?

The "mysterious" creator had, after all, not revealed their identity.

For the production team, this matter wasn't that important.

Zhang Xiaorong's "sudden emergence," along with the "original songs" she brought, was, in a way, their secret weapon against Bai Youlou's monstrous, cheating talent.

If things got too big, too big for even Zhejiang Blue TV to handle, they could use Zhang Xiaorong to eliminate Bai Youlou.

Plan successful. What a joke!

This plan was completely scrapped after An Luning's appearance.

Even though this young lady looked harmless and was so beautiful that anyone who saw her couldn't help but smile.

But her appearance didn't just represent herself.

It was really annoying. Fortunately, the director's team had already reported this annoyance upwards, letting higher-level leaders worry about it.

What was most important now was to record the show well.

And now, the most heavyweight participant was finally about to come on stage.

"All departments prepare! Bai Youlou is about to go on stage!"

All the staff wearing earpieces in the studio heard this announcement.

However, the mentors' earpieces didn't receive any reminders.

After all, they were mostly musicians, not four movie kings sitting there. If they were told in advance, they might not be able to capture those genuine moments.

But Zhen Dongjun vaguely sensed something...

Ah! The scent of grass~

The studio lights went out, and a chair could be faintly seen placed in the center of the stage.

If anyone had sharp eyes, they might even see a somewhat familiar figure standing by the stage.

Long Ziqiang was already there, but he wasn't a contestant this time; he was there to provide backing vocals for Bai Youlou.

After the "plan changed," Bai Youlou directly changed the song he was going to sing.

Since he felt that "The Voice" production team was planning something big, how could he not play along?

This move not only surprised the audience present but also made the contestants backstage, who were watching their competitors perform and trying to understand their strengths, feel that something was off.

At this moment, a figure approached the host standing at the entrance. He paused, and it seemed the host heard a light chuckle. Before he could react, the microphone was taken away, leaving him with only a retreating back and the faint scent of tobacco in the air.

For this shot, the post-production team had already added subtitles for the viewers watching on television.

"Lone Brave"

Lyrics: Bai Youlou

Composition: Bai Youlou

Arrangement: Bai Youlou——

"All are brave

The wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you made

Don't need to be hidden

Your worn-out doll, your mask, your true self"

"..."

It wasn't difficult to sing "Lone Brave" with passion. The real challenge was to hold back, to suppress the emotions.

To maintain anger, but to sing each word clearly with absolute clarity.

Bai Youlou actually liked this song a lot, even though in his original world, it had been taken over by elementary school students, turning it into a true children's song.

Some things are just strange. After a song becomes popular and is labeled as "for elementary school students," many people who originally loved listening to it stop.

Is it the song that changes, or the people?

"They say to tame every monster with light

They say to mend your wounds, no one loves a clown"

"..."

"Only imperfection is worthy of praise

Who says someone covered in mud isn't a hero"

One spotlight after another turned on, illuminating the same spot.

It also allowed the audience to gradually see the man sitting on the chair, singing softly.

Surprise, astonishment, confusion... many similar emotions appeared on the faces of the audience present.

When Long Ziqiang came on stage earlier, he had only said that his song was written by the director, without mentioning Bai Youlou's name.

And now the truth was out, because Bai Youlou's clothes were printed with the same movie title as Long Ziqiang's.

But the audience on site didn't let out too many surprised sounds, because they heard the song before they saw the person.

Bai Youlou couldn't touch anyone across the stage, it was just a performance, making people "suffocate."

One by one, the judges turned around, but it didn't affect the performance in the slightest, the audience didn't even cheer.

The oppressive atmosphere on site seemed to accompany the song.

Until the emotions were ignited.

"I love you walking alone down dark alleys, I love your unyielding appearance, I love you confronting despair, Refusing to shed a tear."

"..."

Zhen Dongjun, who finally turned around, looked at Bai Youlou on stage with an exceptionally complex expression.

Only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are.

He had originally intended to negotiate with Bai Youlou using the surveillance footage he held, because in his opinion, Bai Youlou was the one in urgent need of that thing.

For Zhen Dongjun himself, being cuckolded was a foregone conclusion.

Did it matter who had cuckolded him?

If it was exposed again, it would just be reopening the wound for netizens to pick at again.

It offered him no benefit whatsoever; he just needed to find out the identity of the third party, and then he could secretly get revenge on them.

However, having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he had become a shrewd operator. Letting Bai Youlou cooperate with him to gain the most benefits and attention was what Zhen Dongjun wanted.

But at this moment, he had a very ominous premonition.

Even if Bai Youlou had no evidence, would his reputation, his scandals, really continue to affect him and prevent him from making a comeback?

This world was very strange; if Bai Youlou had sworn oaths and cried himself hoarse, people might still not believe him, and might even mock him as a clown with no way out.

But if he spoke through his work... music could seemingly tell all.

He didn't need to say anything; others would interpret it for him, as long as the work resonated deeply with people.

The world would always bow down to tragic heroism.

Why did ancient people fear being cursed in poems?

Because that could truly lead to "immortality."

And for Zhen Dongjun, this kid had produced a song that could win a Golden Melody Award!

If the previous song, "Miss Dong," was a direct attack, then this song could crush that woman into dust.

At this moment, an idea popped into Zhen Dongjun's mind: he needed to cut ties!

Never underestimate the integrity of the media and marketing accounts.

Although it was a bit of over-preparation, he had to consider the aftermath of this matter, which might be misinterpreted as him and his wife colluding to set a trap for Bai Youlou, harming him.

The more he thought, the more tangled his expression became.

Finally, with a sense of relief.

You got me there.

"To the whimpers and roars in the dark night, Who says only those in the light are heroes."

The sound faded, the stage ended.

Bai Youlou, having completed a performance he was satisfied with, looked up and began to truly take in everything before him.

However, the scene before him caused him slight confusion.

The next second, applause thundered.

That's right~
