In the backstage dressing room, Lin Changfeng sat with his arms crossed, his eyes red from crying, but his expression was cold.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'Feng'?" Lin Changfeng was speechless. "What do you mean I've influenced you?"
They're all spectators and accompanying family members; who's more noble than whom?
"The literal meaning." Feng Chi's eyes never left the screen, and he didn't even bother arguing with him. "Noisy."
"Hey, you old ice block!" Lin Changfeng stood up, furious. "What's wrong with me shedding a couple of tears because I'm emotional? What's wrong with me calling out? I was calling for An'an, not you, so why are you meddling in this?"
"Besides, don't think I didn't see you crying too!"
Lin Changfeng said sarcastically, "A real man shouldn't act like a young lady in her boudoir all day long, not even daring to cry openly!"
Feng Chi finally couldn't help but glance at him and sneered, "I said you're noisy, don't you understand?"
"Living for 27 years and still not understanding human speech, how pathetic."
Lin Changfeng:...
From childhood to Lin Changfeng's biggest pet peeve was his brother's infuriatingly sharp tongue; he couldn't understand how Wen Jiu managed to kiss him every day!
[If you're so capable, go back and argue! It's not appropriate to argue here with bloodshot eyes. [doge emoji]]
[Hilarious! I've never felt these big shots were so childish before.]
[I now even think that the two adorable young men on stage are more reliable than them.]
Hmm... it doesn't exist.
From the mentor panel, singer-songwriter Wang Xu was the first to select this adapted song. "If I'm not mistaken, you've adapted it into a dialogue format, with primary and secondary personalities, or rather, An'an is actually her inner self."
"Yes," Wen Jiu replied, "He represents anger and clarity, while I am someone who has failed countless times in reality and struggled internally countless times."
"From belief to doubt, from pain to relief, the emotions build layer by layer. I can even feel your soul burning; it stubbornly persisted for a long time, but ultimately had to succumb to reality."
Grandpa Ying Songnian picked up the microphone and gave his comments.
"This process of stripping away one's personality and abandoning one's 'self' is painful and cruel. One may feel resentment and think: 'Perhaps giving up like this isn't so bad. Perhaps in another parallel universe, 'I' did not succumb.'"
"But judging from the last sentence of the response, it doesn't seem to be the case, right?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then said in unison, "Yes."
"The line I sang before I disappeared, 'In the next story, let me give you the world,' was a dying wish, and also a kind of hope."
Shen Huaian glanced at Wen Jiu and said, "If we could do it all over again, I would hope that you could have everything the world has to offer, without having to endure the ridicule of the world, without having to go through that pain, and without suffering a devastating blow to your soul."
After saying that, Shen Huaian suddenly laughed, his puppy eyes sparkling, pure and beautiful. "A young person with sincere dreams should be clean and pure, shining brightly on the stage they love."
A warm and gentle round of applause erupted from the audience.
Young people with sincere dreams should be pure and innocent, shining brightly on the stage they love.
Feng Chi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle softly, his gaze turning gentle as he looked at the boy on the stage.
What was he afraid of before?
In this life, the young man has him by his side, along with close friends like Yu Qing and Shen Huaian who cherish him, and fans who have accompanied Wen Jiu through seven difficult years and know Wen Jiu's character and personality.
The story is different now.
The outcomes will inevitably be different.
Having figured this out, Feng Chi's smile grew even brighter.
On the mentor's panel, Wang Xu smiled and said to Wen Jiu, "Did you add the last line of the lyrics yourself?"
"Yes." Wen Jiu adjusted her headset and nodded obediently.
"May I ask why you wanted to add this sentence?"
"Hmm..." Under everyone's gaze, Wen Jiu hesitated for the first time. In the end, he scratched his head helplessly and chuckled.
"I don't know either."
puff!
The unexpected answer stunned even the mentor, and the audience burst into laughter.
[My wife is so cute, let me give her a kiss!]
Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
"Yes, I accept that answer," Wang Xu said with a smile. "After all, every word comes alive in the hands of a creator."
"Perhaps you gave this protagonist a new life, or perhaps 'you' who was suffering and sinking in another time and space is giving a new response to the present you."
In the next story, I will not let you down again.
[At this moment, a woman as majestic as an eagle shed tears.]
[Wow, you're so eloquent! No wonder you're a singer-songwriter, you have such great feeling!]
Wen Jiu bowed to the audience, her peach blossom eyes clear and bright. "That's right."
Gu Xun, who was waiting in the audience, looked up at the screen above him upon hearing this.
His gaze lingered on the boy's pure, smiling face, his eyes momentarily dazed.
It's as if we're looking at another scene through this stage.
He was only brought back to his senses by Guan Qingqing's excited voice beside him, "Great job! I can't wait to go on stage!"
Gu Xun snapped out of his reverie, chuckled softly, and nodded in response, "Mm."
Hu Yanping: "This song has a profound meaning, and everyone has their own interpretation, so I won't comment on it. Let's talk about your performance."
"From a stage design perspective, it was still perfect. Whether it was the initial eye contact, the emotional expression of the drums and guitar during the musical interlude, or your high notes and harmonies, everything was executed beautifully."
"This song has a wide vocal range and a very varied vocal style. Wen Jiu's opening vocals were enough to amaze the entire audience, but when Shen Huaian's voice joined in, it was not overshadowed at all, especially his metallic voice when he roared, which was a pleasant surprise."
"Many details on the stage may not be fully captured in one or two viewings and require repeated viewings, but the stage presence you displayed, as well as the tension between the two performers, was excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic."
"This stage amplifies and showcases the strengths of both of you. By combining your best qualities, you create a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts."
After Hu Yanping finished speaking, he smiled with satisfaction and cast his vote.
"Your stage presence, your attitude, and your passion for the stage have all impressed me. Keep up the good work, kids!"
The two bowed deeply, and when they stood up, Wen Jiu's eyes were filled with tears.
"Thank you, Professor Hu Yanping," Wen Jiu said, moved. "I will."
"Pfft!"
Wen Jiu:?
A soft laugh suddenly reached her ears. Wen Jiu in confusion, her peach blossom eyes brimming with tears looking at him blankly.
Shen Huaian pinched his thigh hard, looking like he was really holding back his anger. He then bowed deeply to Teacher Hu Yanping once again.
He said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I'm a professional and I've received training in facial expression management, but... I just couldn't hold it in anymore, please understand."
Hu Yanping's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
