"Super New Voice Generation" final scene.

The artificial snow machine dropped bunches of snowflakes from above the stage. These small white snowflakes were blown away by the wind. The children sitting in the front row subconsciously stood up, tiptoed and raised their hands to touch them.

A chubby kid said loudly: "Mom, why is it snowing in the house!"

The staff stole disapproving glances from the family, crossed their fingers on their mouths, and signaled that they could not speak.

His mother pushed him onto the seat in embarrassment, covered his mouth and asked him to learn from other children and be a good baby quietly.

The snowflakes were scattered, and the melodious and misty piano sounded together. Qiu Qiu took Qi Qiqi's hand, and two boys, one big and one small, walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces.

This much-anticipated final is a scoring system, with a total of six songs arranged, three of which are sung by contestants solo, and the rest are sung in pairs. After the lottery, Qiu Qiu and Qi Qiqi's chorus program was ranked first. There must be some nervousness, but it is more of a kind of excitement and excitement.

The two of them have completely different styles. The chorus songs chosen should not only highlight their personal characteristics, but also not violate the harmony.

Qiu Qiu pondered for a long time, and proposed to sing "I will follow him". The original version of this song has been around for decades, and it has been sung countless times over the years. With the introduction of the music movie "Nuns Are Crazy" in the 1990s, the new version of "I will follow him" has also spread. High streets and alleys.

This movie tells the interesting story of a black nun who leads the reform of the choir and subverts the tradition. This song was originally a love song, and the original singer sang the deep love for "him" in a female tone, but in the movie, the lyrics are extended, and the word has not changed, but it has given a layer of religious meaning.

Of course Qiu Qiu had his own selfishness in choosing this song. This song can be used not only to sing praises to the Lord, but also as a confession to the lover. It kills two birds with one stone and is not afraid of being discovered his little secret.

Although Qiu Qiu was not yet born when the movie was released, and Qi Qiqi's parents were still in elementary school, they both had watched the movie, and they quickly decided on the chorus method.

In the movie, the first half of the song is noble and sacred, while the second half is fashionable and dynamic. Wang Tingxie helped re-arrange the second half to fit Qiu Qiu's singing style better.

On the stage, artificial snowflakes fell on the hair and shoulders of the two contestants, making them look like two princes walking on snow, which aroused the enthusiasm of the young fans below.

The violinist plucked the strings, Qi Qiqi closed his eyes, and the ethereal child's voice rang out throughout the studio.

"I will follow him,

follow him wherever he may go,

and near him i always will be,

for nothing can keep me away.

i will follow him,

ever since he touched my hand i know,

there isn't an ocean too deep,

a mountain so high it can keep us away,

away form his love.

he will always be my true love,

from now until forever,

nothing can keep him from me."

The singing is melodious, full of a strong sacred atmosphere, and the meaning of the lyrics is simple and easy to understand. The ears of the audience seem to have received a holy baptism, and the body and mind are purified accordingly.

Among the five judges, one is a devout Buddhist, and the remaining four are atheists, but Qiqi's voice still directly touches their hearts. Music is a bridge of communication. It has nothing to do with religion, age, skin color, or race, but only with feelings.

Qiqi's mother covered her mouth excitedly in the background, her eyes were full of tears. She flung herself into her husband's arms and hummed softly along with him.

It’s just that not all the audience can understand foreign languages. For example, Hua Xiang’s seniors, they are old and can only speak hello and goodbye in English. Although they can understand the surging emotions in the singing, they still feel a little regretful.

Hua Xiang's nephew said with emotion: "It would be great if there was a translator."

Hua Xiang's elder brother nodded: "Record it, record it, my grandson Wensen is studying abroad, and I will ask him to translate for us."

They were communicating in low voices, only to hear the accompaniment on the stage suddenly changed. The guitar replaced the violin, provoking the backbone of the melody, and the music style changed from melodious to fresh and lively.

Qiu Qiu on the stage took a step forward and sang his love song in Chinese instead.

"I chased after his ass like a duckling,

He goes to the left and I never go to the right,

I'm only a tiny bit away from him,

It's impossible for me to leave him.

I'm like a puppy chasing after a bone,

When he first touched my hand,

I just decided that even if I go over the mountains

I will not separate from him either.

He is my true heart,

From yesterday to tomorrow, from past to future,

No one can steal him away. "

The relaxed and lovely tune and the easy-to-understand lyrics made the corners of the mouths of all listeners unable to restrain themselves.

The lyrics are not the original English meaning, but a free translation after processing. Qiu Qiu translated it himself, on the one hand, to distinguish it from Qiqi's version, and on the other hand, he didn't want this love to appear too heavy.

Teenager's love is both clumsy and romantic. I am afraid that the older lovers did not expect at first what kind of fresh heart the teenager will offer.

Gradually, the sound of the guitar and the violin merged, and the guitar could be distant, and the violin could be naughty. They were like two streams that converged and merged into one, gurgling through every piece of heart.

Qi Qiqi sang: "I love him."

Qiu Qiu sang: "I love him."

"i follow him."

"I'm after him."

"he is my destiny."

"He is mine..." The sound of the music gradually faded away, Qiu Qiu's eyes fell in the distance, and he sang the last line softly, "...It is destined."

In the private room of the luxurious restaurant, Fu Ruien looked at the figure of his lover singing affectionately on the TV screen, his eyes were full of love.

It's a pity that other people in the private room can't appreciate this friendship.

Madam Yang, who was sitting in the upper seat, picked up the remote control on the table and pressed the off button. The screen went black, and the TV quietly retracted into the dark compartment on the wall.

"It's so touching..." She clapped her hands lightly twice, with a half-smile on her face, "This should be Mr. Fu's little fresh meat, right? He really has vision."

Fu Ruien replied lightly: "Mrs. Yang misunderstood, Qiuqiu is my lover, and we are not in a nurturing relationship."

"I understand. This is Mr. Fu's 'little melon'. For him, you can't look down on anyone." Mrs. Yang looked at the pair of children beside her, and then turned her eyes on Fu Ruien again. He, you also dragged my stupid son into some live TV broadcast, after all, he is a young master, tearing up with a little girl who can't make it to the stage, it's completely embarrassing."

Before Fu Ruien came, he had vaguely guessed that there would be such a lawsuit.

In order to prevent Xin Tian from playing again, Fu Ruien designed her to reveal her true colors through the live broadcast. At the same time, he also revealed to Ms. Yang that Xin Tian had been the mistress for Mr. Yang. As a result, Young Master Yang got wind of it, rushed over and beat the mistress violently, and made a big splash in front of the netizens.

On the surface, Mrs. Yang was mocking Fu Ruien, but she was actually beating her two sons and daughters. They were actually used as gunmen. Their brains were almost as small as their father's!

Young Master Yang was like a mouse in front of his mother, without any arrogance, but Miss Yang was calm, but the hand holding the teacup was shaking a little.

Fu Ruien was indeed at fault in this matter, and he sincerely apologized: "Madam Yang please Haihan, I really did not think carefully about this matter. But it is also good for you. As far as I know, you and Mr. Yang I've been negotiating a divorce, just... "

"Oh! I don't need you, a junior, to intervene in my family affairs." Mrs. Yang sneered, "Mr. Fu, you are right. I really need some help if I want to divorce that smelly man. A few years ago, my father Retired from the seat, I had no relationship with that man, but now it's just because the family property is unclear, he refuses to cut the flesh."

Mrs. Yang is indeed a woman with a strong wrist, which makes people dare not take a peek: "Fu Ruien, we all know why we are sitting here today. You need someone to cooperate with you, and I need someone to be the new backer for the three of us. But you are An ambitious wolf, if you use us once, there will be a second time."

Fu Ruien showed all his sincerity: "Mrs. Yang, I came here today to discuss how to cooperate with you. The accident last time was not calculated. You want to help you get everything you deserve through me. I It's a great honor. I chose to join forces with you to fight against Yang Tian out of trust. My legal counsel team is outside, and I can negotiate a contract with you now."

"No, forget about the contract." Mrs. Yang said proudly, "If you want to join forces with me, you have only one choice."

Fu Ruien was silent.

"My son, or my daughter, whoever is fine, you will announce your marriage tomorrow, and I can transfer all the shares in my hand to you on Tuesday."

Young Master Yang sprayed red wine again, he looked at his mother in disbelief, not understanding why the topic turned around and came back to him again.

He Yu was much calmer. Sure enough, all the previous foreshadowing was to prepare for the final climax. Now, it depends on what his big boss will choose.

"..." Fu Ruien's eyes didn't seem to fluctuate at all, but only familiar people could see the rolling waves under the calm sea, "Mrs. Yang, don't you want to choose other ways of cooperation?"

"No, there is nothing to discuss." Mrs. Yang showed a mocking smile on her well-maintained face, "If you don't marry my children, then you don't need to stay here."

Across a table, the distance between the two was very close and far away, and Fu Ruien's expression was firm and calm.

"Mrs. Yang, I am very surprised by your decision. There are still many ways of cooperation in this world, which are more reliable than marriage. I can transfer part of the benefits, or use a contract to restrict my future business behavior, but I am sorry Link marriage and interests." Fu Ruien said frankly, frankly and frankly, "In my opinion, marriage should be reserved for love."

He stopped talking and asked He Yu to get up and leave.

As for the expressions of the other three people on the table, he had no time to watch.

Before he left, Mrs. Yang stopped him.

"Mr. Fu," she said, "for the sake of so-called love, you let go of such a good opportunity to meet up?... It seems that you have been with children for too long, and you have become childish."

Fu Ruien didn't even look back: "I'm already forty years old, and it's good to be young once."

In the backstage, Qiu Qiu put his hands on his chest. For some reason, he suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and his whole chest was hot.

Hua Xiang, who was about to go on stage, was startled when he saw him touching his chest, and hurriedly asked him: "Autumn thief, are you okay? Don't scare me."

"It's all right." Qiu Qiu quickly put down his hands, "It's just a sudden warmth in my heart... Maybe my godfather misses me."

Hua Xiang was forced to stuff his mouth full of dog food, feeling like he was really nosy.

"All right, all right, Landlord Qiu, you can just enjoy your little secret of love here, I'm going on stage, so I won't bother you anymore." Hua Xiang took on the white reflective Chinese tunic suit, "If you have free time, you can Give me a boost. If you don't have time, just find a corner and telepathically go with your godfather."

"If you are free, if you are free!" Qiu Qiu did not know where to find the banner that said "Hua Xiang, you are the best", shaking in front of Hua Xiang, "I'll 'call' you!"

"What kind of phone call, that's called 'calling'!"

Hua Xiang flicked his sleeves, took the microphone and boarded the lift. His golden microphone was broken before, but it was finally repaired a few days ago. He has a "revolutionary friendship" with it. Since they are comrades-in-arms, they naturally want to go on stage together.

The competition has reached the second half, the three choruses have been sung, the judges have finished scoring, and then entered the stage of individual singing.

Hua Xiang was the first to play in the solo. Today he prepared two sets of looks, one for the chorus, and the other for his white Chinese tunic suit at the bottom of the suitcase.

On the stage, there was light smoke, and the beam of light shrouded the smoke, like a fairyland on earth.

The melodious sound of the yueqin sounded, and along with the yueqin, there were also huqin, xianzi, and sea flute... Unlike the previous competitions where Huaxiang chose to use the accompaniment tape, this time Huaxiang specially invited a professional Beijing opera accompaniment band. His senior brother helped him become a lobbyist, and only then did he persuade these senior masters.

The music was delicate and moving. Surrounded by smoke, Hua Xiang stood on the lifting platform and slowly appeared in the center of the stage.

With neatly bristled hair and a straight white Chinese tunic suit, Hua Xiang today is no longer the unconventional punk boy he used to be, but a man with firm features.

Whether it was the fans in the audience or the fans watching the live broadcast, they all exclaimed.

"Who the hell is this?" "Hua Xiang? No way? His appearance has changed too much!" "Fuck, I didn't know what he looked like until today!" "Lick lick, I declare that I am now a fan !" "Kneel down to thank the stylist father for saving our brother!"

Some new viewers who had nothing to do to watch the final left a message in the live broadcast, saying that they were going to search for videos of Hua Xiang's previous games, which attracted a bunch of people downstairs to line up to light the wax.

In the audience, Hua Xiang's elder brother nodded in satisfaction and exchanged opinions with Hua's mother.

"Sure enough, long hair looks best with a 'Da Guangming' ponytail."

On the stage, after the prelude was finished, Hua Xiang officially opened his voice.

After several months of competition, Hua Xiang let everyone know the "Beijing song" - Beijing song is different from Peking opera, Beijing song is based on traditional opera, and uses popular repertoire arrangements that are more acceptable to the public to adapt traditional opera. drama. It is easier to understand and easier to sing. A good Beijing song must not only retain the traditional charm, but also be able to adapt to the trend of the times.

Moreover, Beijing songs will incorporate Chinese musical instruments as accompaniment, and the singing styles used are not purely popular singing.

The most typical and famous Beijing song that everyone has heard since childhood - "The Blue-faced Dou Erdun Steals the Royal Horse". Although the whole song has a modern style, these few lines use the typical Peking opera singing.

The Beijing song Hua Xiang brought today is called "Mandarin Duck Mistake", which is adapted from the classic Huadan play "Red Mansion Eryou". In the play, Sister You falls in love with Liu Xianglian, a son of a wealthy family (and an amateur fancier), and Liu Xianglian takes off the mandarin duck sword she carries with her on the spot and presents it to her. It's a pity that this relationship ended in tragedy, and Sister You finally killed herself with this mandarin duck sword.

The adapted "Mandarin Duck" retains part of the libretto and recomposes the music, singing the various changes of a young woman's love from expectation to disappointment.

"Sitting in spring, my boudoir is worried,

Watching dramas make people fall in love,

Suspicion cool chivalry, careless about details,

He is upright and a man of talent. "

The stage was condescending, and the audience could be clearly seen. Unfortunately, the lights in the auditorium were very dim. After careful identification, Hua Xiang finally found his group of relatives and friends among the crowd.

He searched and searched again, until he found the upright figure.

The stage was too far away from the auditorium, and Hua Xiang couldn't see Mr. Li's expression clearly. But what if you can see clearly? During this month's cohabitation, he has figured out how cold the other person is. Li Weixi often smiles at the dog, but he never smiles at him once.

"I thought he was very handsome,

I think of his appearance,

Attract me, Chunyun Kuoxuan,

Tossing and turning, dare not forget. "

Hua Xiang's eyes were fixed on Li Weixi, and unconsciously, he put his emotions into the singing.

For the audience, it just felt that he put himself into the heroine's mind, and she admired the man who made him dream.

Hua Xiang didn't know that Li Weixi, who was sitting under the stage, had a look of surprise on his face.

Although Li Weixi had already learned that Hua Xiang was a student of opera, he had seen his performance several times. But Hua Xiang's stage makeup is more exaggerated and "non-mainstream" than his private ones, which really challenges Li Weixi's aesthetics, and Li Weixi often shuts it off in a hurry after watching it for a minute. Moreover, the video broadcast will definitely distort the timbre. Li Weixi just felt that Huaxiang's female voice was used freely, which surprised him a little.

But when he sat at the scene, he realized that this seemingly unreliable boy actually had such a delicate side.

He looked up and saw that Hua Xiang was dressed in formal attire, with a heroic appearance, he was a man among men in terms of appearance, but his singing voice was melodious, his eyes were emotional and full of femininity.

Completely contradictory, yet completely integrated.

With a voice like his own, Li Weixi could see Hua Xiang's two personalities. He has an impulsive personality, but at the same time he is sensitive like a child. Hua Xiang's puberty is too long, he stands at the junction, one side is his innocent heart, and the other side is the future he has to bear.

But many people are unable to accompany him through such a long youth.

On the high lifting platform, Hua Xiang is still continuing his story.

"Daughter's mind can't be solved,

Under the sword of the mandarin duck, one is infatuated.

Just wait until next year's spring grows,

No more peach blossoms crushed and red all over the ground. "

As the music gradually died down, Hua Xiang's voice gradually fell. He lowered his head, as if like a song ending, dissipated along with the feelings that ended without a cause.

The judges held their breath, still immersed in the atmosphere of the song.

Suddenly, Hua Xiang raised his right hand high. Under the spotlight, the golden microphone in his hand reflected the dazzling light, as if holding a sun in his hand.

"Thank you for your support!" Hua Xiang stood on the high lifting platform and returned to his original madness in a blink of an eye, "I love you all!"

Under the stage, Fei Fei, the head of the support group, stood up holding the light sign, and waved the support object in his hand with tears in his eyes. Under her leadership, his fans shouted his name in unison.

Huaxiang's relatives and friends sitting in the front row turned around, and when they found out that Huaxiang had so many fanatical fans, they felt amused, surprised and proud.

Hua Xiang's brother said to Hua's mother: "When he came to participate in the competition before, I said he was messing around... It seems that I am too old and can't keep up with the times. I am too narrow."

Hua's mother laughed: "I didn't expect that my stupid son would be liked by so many people because he didn't look good all day long."

yes.

Li Weixi applauded along with the crowd.

Who doesn't like such a vigorous young man

A luxury car was running quietly on the road. The street lamps and tree shade cast different reflections on the car body one after another, flickering between bright and dark, like a giant beast running under the moonlight.

He Yu carefully watched Fu Ruien who was sitting opposite him, not even daring to pant too loudly.

In the recent period, Enrui Group has been under the bottomless attack of Yang Tian. One of them is in the open and the other is in the dark.

For the meeting tonight, Fu Ruien had prepared for a long time, hoping to get Mrs. Yang's approval and work together to defeat Yang Tian. But who would have thought that Mrs. Yang's attitude was so tough that she would actually put marriage on the stage as a bargaining chip.

This kind of thing, if I change someone, I'm afraid I will agree to it - so what if there is a lover? Mrs. Yang's two sons and daughters are both heterosexual. Whether he marries a man or a woman, it will not have any impact on the actual status of his lover. It can also help the company tide over the difficulties and fight a beautiful turnaround, why not do it

But Fu Ruien refused.

When He Yu thought of that sentence now, he felt both thrilling and fascinated.

— "In my opinion, marriage is reserved for love."

Fu Ruien made the stupidest choice, but He Yu felt that he followed the wrong boss.

Businessmen value profits, but businessmen must not forget their heart.

After Fu Ruien got in the car, he told the driver to drive to the TV station. This meal ended early, and the faster it should be able to arrive before the end.

After that, Fu Ruien didn't speak again, but closed his eyes and meditated. There was no light in the carriage, and the street lights outside the window were projected in, making Fu Ruien look very tired.

He Yu felt a little sympathetic to his boss.

He Yu suddenly noticed that the scenery outside the window was speeding up. He was about to ask why he was speeding up suddenly, when the rear car communication came from the car channel.

"Boss," said the bodyguard on the communication channel, "someone is following us."

He Yu's heart shuddered.

Fu Ruien opened his eyes and asked calmly, "How many cars? Can you tell how many people there are?"

"Uh... alone," said the bodyguard, "it's a motorcycle."

Fu Ruien and He Yu looked at each other.

He Yu asked: "Are you sure you are following us? Are you carrying any weapons?"

"No weapons. The other party has been following us since we came out of the hotel, but the speed was not fast before, and it was speeded up five minutes ago. Boss, otherwise we... woes!!"

Fu Ruien hurriedly looked out the car window, only to see a heavy motorcycle suddenly speeding up from behind to catch up with them, and now it was already going hand in hand with them.

After all, cars are not as flexible as motorcycles, especially drivers have to take into account the feelings of passengers. But the rider of that motorcycle was extremely crazy, his speed was getting faster and faster, and his posture was completely desperate.

Moreover, the person driving this "crazy horse" is actually a female rider! She turned her head to Fu Ruien, clearly through the helmet, but Fu Ruien felt that the other party was staring at her.

Fu Ruien suddenly said: "Driver, stop!"

He Yu: "What?"

Fu Ruien: "I want to go down and talk to her."

"Boss Fu, but..."

"I have a feeling that she has no ill intentions towards me."

He Yu was in a hurry, this crazy woman could drive the motorcycle to 100 mph on the road, so it's not malicious? She didn't even need a gun. After Fu Ruien got out of the car, she could knock him out with just one twist of the accelerator!

But Fu Ruien insisted on stopping, and the driver could only slowly park the car on the side of the road.

This place is relatively remote, no one has been passing by, no matter what the purpose of the visitor, you can calm down and have a good talk.

After Fu Ruien's car stopped, the female rider also parked the motorcycle on the side of the road ten meters away. She was dressed in black pure leather riding clothes, which tightly outlined her proud figure with protruding front and back.

Fu Ruien got out of the car, and the bodyguard wanted to follow, but was stopped by Fu Ruien raising his hand.

The female knight wrapped in black came slowly, her leather boots beating on the asphalt road, making a dull sound.

"Fu Ruien," the female knight's voice was extremely distorted through the black helmet, "You are so brave."

Fu Ruien didn't answer this question, and asked instead: "I don't know why Miss Yang drove here?"

He Yu is confused.

The female knight was also blinded.

After half a minute, the female knight took off her black helmet, revealing her exasperated and charming face: "Fu Ruien, how do you know it's mine?"

Fu Ruien said calmly: "Ask casually, it's okay to guess wrong anyway."

Miss Yang: "..."

In fact, Fu Ruien guessed with 70% certainty that Miss Yang and Young Master Yang were twins, mischievous and daring since childhood. It’s just that Young Master Yang is a bit stupid, and Ms. Yang is quite smart. She was sent to study abroad by Mrs. Yang, and she became a "everyone's lady" after she came back. Heart.

Moreover, this female knight has been following them since she came out of the hotel. Based on such reasoning, she can only be Miss Yang.

But why did Miss Yang stop him

"I don't know what's the matter with Miss Yang?" He asked.

Ms. Yang rolled her eyes: "Aren't you very capable, guess, guess again."

"Fu Mou can't guess."

"Okay, I don't have time to chat with you." Miss Yang unzipped the leather jacket, and saw a very heart-shaped necklace hanging around her neck. She pulled off the necklace and threw it into Fu Ruien's hand.

The necklace still carried the temperature of the girl's body, but Fu Ruien didn't have time to think about it at all. He only noticed a small mechanism on the necklace pendant - under a light touch, a small memory card popped out!

How could Fu Ruien not know what it was? He was ecstatic in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why Miss Yang would give this to him.

"Miss Yang, thank you. It's just that I think you have a good relationship with Lingtang. If you help me in private, will Lingtang..."

"It's not 'in private'." Ms. Yang told the whole thing clearly, "That's what my mother meant."

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Ruien finally connected the whole thing together - the Hongmen Banquet tonight was just a temptation, Mrs. Yang had known about Qiu Qiu's existence, so she deliberately put Qiu Qiu and her children's marriage together and let him make a choice.

If he was a little bit unsteady, and even a little bit emotional about the marriage, then he would not be able to pass the test of Mrs. Yang, and all that awaited him was the loss of his wealth.

Ms. Yang said loudly: "In our family of three, what we disbelieve the most is love. Because we have seen too many examples of abandoning love in the face of interests. My father is such a man. He once said that money can buy love, even if This love doesn't last long, but he has a lot of money, so he can keep buying it."

This distorted view of love eventually makes the husband and wife divorced, and the relationship between him and his children is also very weak. He lingers on one young body after another, indulges in love again and again, and then gets bored quickly, and quickly throws himself into the next love and money transaction.

But what Fu Ruien did today, let them see the presence of love in the world.

Love is the purest and most basic emotion of human beings. If love is not lost, people's hearts will not change.

Only honest and trustworthy people are worthy of being partners, and such people definitely have a heart that believes in love.

Fu Ruien said gratefully: "Please rest assured, Madam Yang, I will make good use of these materials."

Ms. Yang nodded in satisfaction and walked towards her motorcycle.

The accelerator roared, and the black heavy motorcycle swung its tail beautifully, turning its direction.

"By the way." Miss Yang said suddenly, "We did you such a big favor, so you should do us a small favor too."

Fu Ruien said in a personable manner that she would follow her request.

"Help me get ten signatures of Qiu Qiu... no, twenty."

Fu Ruien never expected it to be this request, he didn't respond a little: "... what did you say?"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not his fan girl." Miss Yang said with disgust, "My mother is."
