The stage lights gradually dimmed, and Qiu Qiu stood under the spotlight in the middle with a calm expression. In this national competition, the first song he chose was no longer a guitar solo, but a little love song that had been properly packaged by Brother Wang Frame.
There was silence on and off the stage. He closed his eyes and silently counted down to the rhythm of his heartbeat.
The big bear sitting in the auditorium was so nervous that he let out a huge hiccup from his mouth. The sharp sound pierced the air. After a short silence, the audience burst into laughter at the same time.
At this moment, Qiu Qiu spoke.
There is no soundtrack, no accompaniment, only sparse laughter in the auditorium, but the boys on the stage have not been disturbed by the outside world. He didn't even open his eyes, and he sang the room with a beat that only he could hear.
"The sun rises from the treetops,
The moon falls into your dreamland.
The stars are made into cookies,
I quietly put my love. "
The accompaniment band joined in at the right time. This little love song called "Chasing" was still made by Qiu Qiu, and the arrangement was handed over to Wang Tingxie. The main instruments were brisk piano and violin, echoing each other from a distance, like a pair of papers separated by a window. lovers, attracted to each other, tempted each other.
This is the love song of youth that everyone has longed for, but some stories have ended successfully, while others have never started.
Qiu Qiu opened his eyes, and his eyes slowly slid across the judges' seat opposite the main stage. The two female judges were taken aback for a moment, as if they could see the stubborn and persistent love in his eyes when they looked at him. Among the two, one picked up the ice mineral water on the table and applied it to his cheek, while the other put his hand over his heart. The two of them were completely moved by this cute little lover.
A male judge who was famous for a few love songs more than ten years ago slammed the table and complained half-truthfully: "Why don't our show have a judge turn around, light up, and recruit students? I will Take him to 200 concerts!"
Qiu Qiu, who was immersed in the music, naturally didn't know how the judges judged him. In his eyes, everyone in the audience turned into cabbages, radishes and tomatoes. Only in front of the judges was the huge " Enrui Group" LOGO can be reflected in his heart.
Enrui Group is the sponsor's father of this show, but Fu Ruien is his godfather alone.
If there is no support and encouragement from his godfather, he should have been an intern in a publishing house this summer, working at his desk every day, sleeping with his favorite text every day, that kind of life is what he has always wanted Safe and leisurely.
But... being able to stand on the stage and watch thousands of people in the audience, this kind of scenery is even more beautiful.
"I approach step by step,
But you are like a fish that can only fly,
Fly over the ends of the earth, over mountains and forests.
I follow in your footsteps,
Accompany you to watch the seasons change, the stars move.
You are free beings,
I am the reflection beneath you,
You chased the world…”
The accompaniment came to an abrupt end, but the lyrics clearly hadn't reached their climax. The judges suddenly woke up from their dreams. They subconsciously leaned forward, staring at Qiu Qiu who had finished singing, wishing they could rush up and tap his forehead to make him give in. The last line of the love poem.
Naturally, Qiu Qiu would not disappoint their expectations.
He stared straight ahead, held the microphone in his hand, and sang the last sentence softly and solemnly: "—Just like me, chasing you."
After the voice fell, the huge studio was silent for three seconds, and then it was filled with deafening cheers.
Standing on a high stage, Qiu Qiu could easily see everyone in the auditorium. He saw Xiao Li waving the lights on behalf of everyone, he saw Da Xiong taking off his shirt and shaking, he saw Wang Tingxie weeping excitedly...not only them, but even the relatives and friends of other contestants were also moved by him.
This is only his first battle, and there are many more battles waiting for him in the future.
…
Qiu Qiu walked off the stage with the highest score in the audience. After this period of special training, his singing skills are only behind Hua Xiang. Coupled with his refreshing and heart-warming image, he gained a lot of favorability points.
In this way, his average score is higher than that of Hua Xiang. If others see their good brother surpassing themselves, they might feel uncomfortable. But Hua Xiang was a type with a big heart and a low IQ. After Qiu Qiu stepped down, he leaned over to congratulate him.
"Okay, okay, the first half is over, and the second half is probably going to be miserable, why don't we go have supper now?"
Just now Huaxiang studied the schedule again. It said that after the contestants finished singing, they could go off to rest directly, and there was no collective stage call at the end. The schedule description didn't say whether he could leave at this time, Hua Xiang was like a bad student who took advantage of the school rules, and wanted to drag the first grader to skip class.
Qiu Qiu said in embarrassment: "It's not good... others will sing later..."
Hua Xiang said proudly: "They don't sing as well as I do. I'll be your jukebox for free. I'll sing you whatever you want!"
"I want to listen to "Her Royal Highness The Number One Princess in the Universe"."
"... Fuck off, I now remember what it is to break up friendship."
Qiu Qiuzhen didn't deliberately make excuses, he had a premonition that Xin Tian was definitely not as simple as Hua Xiang thought. If she didn't have two brushes and only relied on "off-court support", how could she make it to the national competition.
After a long intermission, the second half of the game continued. Xin Tian was the finale of the yellow group and came in second. Before walking onto the stage, she passed them both, and waved to them with a smile.
"The two little brothers sing so well and their scores are so high, Tian Tian must be imbued with the air of a top student and try to get a good score."
She clearly said "two little brothers", but her eyes fell on Qiu Qiu, as if wearing a small hook. Qiu Qiu hurriedly turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery. In fact, there was only a big white wall and a concrete floor in the background. How can there be any scenery.
After Xin Tian appeared on the stage, the otaku fans who had been waiting for a long time were all blown up. She is youthful and beautiful, with a soft light on stage, blowing kisses to the audience frequently, with a frown and a smile, touching the heartstrings of countless teenagers. Even the judges praised her as a "heroine who came out of a comic book", and she really has no dead ends in 360 degrees.
It was even worse after the official concert. Her well-trained fan group actually stood up from the auditorium, holding colored light sticks, and changing different movements following her lyrics.
Xin Tian's singing skills are indeed not good, but the songs she chooses are clever, and the acting elements are more than the singing elements. She may not be able to become a good singer, but she is already a very successful online otaku idol.
Her fan group is the real calling group. She sang on it, and they echoed off the stage. The momentum was amazing, and even the judges looked back in shock.
Xiaoli looked at them and felt a surge of comparison in her chest - the grass-roots team in her team could only wave light signs, and the fans from both sides scolded each other more neatly than they did during the national football games.
no! ... Fantou Xiaoli thought angrily, she can't admit defeat!
…
By the time the recording of the first "Fifteen into Twelve" of the "Super New Voice Generation" national competition was completed, the clock was already approaching eleven o'clock.
Originally, Hua Xiang wanted to slip away early in the morning, but Qiu Qiu insisted on listening to Qi Qiqi's singing, saying that friends should encourage each other.
Qi Qiqi, who had just left the field, asked very shamelessly: "When did I become friends with Hua Xiang?"
Hua Xiang: "... Please, I should ask this question, right?"
Fortunately, they didn't leave. After the recording was over, the assistant director gathered the top twelve contestants together and told them in detail about the big and small problems that the contestants had exposed in this competition.
For example, some contestants don't know how to move and don't always look at the camera; Talking about too many irrelevant things, delaying time...
"Your performance in front of the camera today will not be completely cut into the finished product. The finished product is only three hours long, and the director will check the quality of the program and choose the right shot to cut into it. My ugly words are at the front desk. If you find yourself in this shot No, it’s definitely not that we intentionally blackmailed you, it’s 100% because your camera is not expressive enough.”
He spoke seriously, and the players were criticized by him as shrunken quails. Originally, they were elated after passing a test, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only self-examination, self-examination, and self-examination.
"I'm not scaring you, who are you showing me with a frowning face?... Tiantian, Qiu Qiu, you are the face value of our show, what are you doing with a sad face? If you are seen by others, don't you think I want to rule you?" The assistant director opened A joke, "Okay, this episode will be launched in two weeks, and the next episode will be recorded at the same time next week. The next one is a challenge competition. The bottom six in this competition will challenge the top six. They all know their opponents Who is it? Prepare well, after the next game, there will be only eight finalists left here."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the backstage became tense in vain. The last six carefully looked at the top six, surviving adversity, who knows if they have a chance to come back? Furthermore, even if you fail in the first round, there will be a second round of competition to determine two more. In this way, the chances will be much greater...
…
When the players officially disbanded, the hands of the clock had crossed zero, and it was the next day. Qiu Qiu was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and Hua Xiang dragged him to the parking lot. He was so tired that he took advantage of Hua Xiang's time to take out the keys, leaning on the tail of Hua Xiang's car, his head bit by bit sleepy.
Hua Xiang is a night owl, crossing the road at night: "Wake up, I'll take you home, get in the car and go to sleep."
Before he finished speaking, a mature man's voice came from the shadow beside him - "Don't worry about it."
This familiar voice slightly awakened Qiu Qiu's sanity, his eyes were half-closed, his feet automatically led him, floating and floating towards the place where the sound came from, and shouted in a sticky voice: "Godfather... you How come..."
Fu Ruien came up to him in a few steps and grabbed him into his arms. The boy's body leaned against him softly, as if a vine wrapped around a big tree, giving everything to him.
Qiu Qiu was even more sleepy, he closed his eyes and raised his head, pouting to ask for a kiss from his godfather.
When others are sleepy, they are lack of energy. Qiu Qiu reported that it is a bit like being drunk. In addition to being lack of energy, he will also become bolder and more coquettish.
Of course, Fu Ruien fulfilled his wish, lowered his head to hold his lips, and gently soothed the thirst between his lips and teeth with the tip of his tongue.
With the soft sound of water and the gradually deepening kiss, Qiu Qiu absorbed the tenderness of his godfather wholeheartedly, like a chick waiting to be fed, and he didn't need to worry about anything beside Fu Ruien.
After the kiss was over, Qiu Qiu hugged his godfather's neck with his eyes closed, and almost fell asleep standing up.
Fu Ruien patted him on the back and coaxed him: "Okay, godfather will take you home and go back to sleep."
Hua Xiang, who had been a transparent person next to him for a long time, finally came to his senses. He yelled "Damn!", and jumped back in fright, his back hit the reflector hard, causing him to bark in pain. Grinning his teeth—he did know that Qiu Qiu and his godfather were a couple, but he knew that he was single and didn't want to feel the light waves of love up close!
Hua Xiang made such a big commotion, Qiu Qiu was forced to wake up a little bit, he glanced at his good brother in a daze, and asked dazedly, "Hua Xiang... why are you still here..."
Hua Xiang is so wronged! "Thief Qiu! You clearly promised to accompany me to have supper!"
Qiu Qiu tilted his head, and answered in a vague way: "But godfather also wants supper..."
Hua Xiang wanted to say something, but Fu Ruien suddenly took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them into Hua Xiang's hands.
Hua Xiang caught it subconsciously, and looked at the dim lights in the parking lot, and found that it was the Aston Martin he had been coveting for a long time! !
Fu Ruien: "I borrowed you to drive this car, and return it to me next week."
With the luxury car he dreamed of driving, Hua Xiang, a single-celled creature, immediately beamed with joy, no matter what the agreement is or not! ! "Okay, okay!... No, you gave me the car, how are you going back today?"
"I'm not going back today, I have a private room in the hotel next door." Fu Ruien raised his eyebrows, "Besides, I still have supper."
"..."
