Chapter 49 The Ordinary Road
Stepping onto such a large stage for the second time, Li Suifeng still felt a bit nervous. He adjusted his collar, took a deep breath, and began to walk toward the stage.
Listening to the noisy sounds filling the entire venue, Li Suifeng walked step by step to the center of the stage.
Then the lights came on, and Li Suifeng's figure appeared on the large screen behind him.
A good-looking appearance can always give people a favorable first impression, especially someone like Li Suifeng. After he showed his face, the noise died down significantly, and by the time the prelude began, the venue had gone quiet.
"the ordinary road". Singer: Li Suifeng. Composer: Li Suifeng. Lyricist: Li Suifeng.
At this moment, the audience at the scene was stunned, the audience in front of their TVs was stunned, and the audience in the Livestreaming room started cursing directly.
"Holy shit, it's another original song. Is he not afraid of crashing and burning at all?"
"Let's not talk about whether he'll crash or not, but is this guy's inspiration inexhaustible? One original song after another."
"This man is too strong. It's a dimensional strike."
"I have a plan."
"Even if you do, don't say it yet. Listen to the song; this prelude has some substance!"
Li Suifeng raised the microphone, and his deep singing voice rang out.
"Wandering, On the road, Are you going to leave, via via, Fragile, Proud, That was once what I looked like too."
Professor Zhou Qian, the music professor in the front row, his eyes lit up: "These lyrics have some substance."
As for the other three judges, they could only tell for now that the melody was quite catchy.
At this moment, the contestants from the previous episode backstage felt immense pressure. Looking at Li Suifeng's performance on stage, he was sure to qualify this time, which meant there was one less spot available.
"I once crossed mountains and seas, And passed through crowds of people, Everything I once possessed, Drifted away like smoke in the blink of an eye, I was once lost and disappointed, Lost all direction, Until I saw that being ordinary, Was the only answer."
Singing to this point, Li Suifeng's emotional resonance caused the vast majority of people to fall into memories. Isn't that how most people are at the beginning? From thinking they are extraordinary to accepting their own ordinariness now.
"I once destroyed everything I had, Just wanted to leave forever, I once fell into endless darkness, Wanted to struggle but couldn't pull myself out, I was once like you, like him, Like those wild grasses and flowers, Despairing, Longing, Living ordinarily while crying and laughing."
At this moment, Heavenly King Lin Changqing's eyes were filled with heat. If he were to sing this song, it would definitely make him popular again, but he dared not deny that his own Singing Ability could compare to this young man on stage.
And Professor Zhou Qian couldn't help but exclaim internally. To be so young and able to write such a song—if it weren't for the absurdly high quality of the song, he would even suspect it was ghostwritten by someone else.
The three star mentors on the stage had different thoughts, all wondering how to pull Li Suifeng into their respective teams.
Shen Yue suppressed the excitement in her heart; she even wished she could go up immediately and ask him for a song.
However, the situation at the scene was very unfavorable for her. She did have the desire to recruit Li Suifeng into her team, but compared to the other two, she could be said to have absolutely no advantage.
As for Han Yayin, she looked at Li Suifeng singing on stage with pride. She had no worries about Li Suifeng's choices; for now, she just needed to enjoy the musical feast he brought.
"Time is silent, Just like this, Tomorrow is already here, Hia, hia, The wind has blown, The road is still long, Where has your story reached?"
After the music stopped, the venue erupted in thunderous applause. "Li Suifeng!" "Li Suifeng!" "Ahhh, husband is so handsome!"
"This song has so much feeling, hurry and put it on music platforms, I want to play it on loop." "Another golden hit, Li Suifeng is too strong." "Li Suifeng, let's withdraw from the competition. Is it fun to bully the little kids?" "Confirmed, he's smurfing. How are you letting them compete like this?"
Various bullet comments flooded the screen; they had almost completely forgotten that a few minutes ago they were shouting about unfairness.
He Huan quickly went on stage and walked excitedly to Li Suifeng's side. "Thank you to Li Suifeng for bringing us this 'the ordinary road'. Next, we come to our judge review and voting session, starting with Professor Zhou Qian."
Then the director gave the camera to Professor Zhou. Professor Zhou, sporting a bald spot and wearing round-rimmed glasses, stood up.
"To tell the truth, this show has really given me a big surprise. I am very curious about what you, this contestant, have experienced in the past that allowed you to write this 'the ordinary road'. This song, whether in terms of melody or lyrics, is a top-tier work, and I also highly approve of the life attitude it expresses. Here, I will cast my vote for this contestant first."
After speaking, Professor Zhou sat back down. Li Suifeng picked up the microphone. "Thank you very much for your vote, Professor. My life experience isn't like the song; being able to create it might just be my inspiration." Li Suifeng made it up without blushing or skipping a beat.
Professor Zhou nodded in approval, thinking that Li Suifeng was a rather talented contestant. Next was Heavenly King Lin Changqing. After standing up, he said expressionlessly, "I am not very satisfied with this contestant's performance. I'm sorry, I cannot give you my vote."
After speaking, he sat down. Professor Zhou, who was next to him, began to frown, but it wasn't good to say much, because everyone has their own judging standards. The rest of the venue was in an uproar, and arguments broke out online.
"You're not satisfied even with 'the ordinary road'? I'm really laughing. Still relying on your seniority? How many years has it been since you've produced a decent work? You've been living off past achievements, and you have the nerve to say something like that." "Who's to say, and this is still a Heavenly King? Are you deaf?"
However, many of Heavenly King Lin Changqing's die-hard fans still stood up to defend him. "Heavenly King Lin Changqing is a Heavenly King after all, while Li Suifeng is just an undebuted contestant. If he doesn't pass, he doesn't pass; does he need a reason?" "When Heavenly King Lin Changqing was in the music industry, Li Suifeng didn't know where he was playing with mud." "Setting facts aside, is there anything wrong with not giving a vote?" "666, if you're setting facts aside, then what is there to talk about? Talk about your mom."
The bullet comments were in a chaotic mess. However, Li Suifeng didn't take it to heart. No matter what it is, some people like it and some don't. There's no need to dwell on it too much; as long as the majority likes it, that's fine.
Next was Teacher Zhou Kai. "Although I prefer Rock and Roll, I really like the attitude expressed in your song. I'll give you a vote, young man, keep it up!" Then it was Star Mentor Cheng Shuer. This woman with a hot body stood up with a smile. "You gave me a big surprise. I hope we can exchange music privately when you have time. My evaluation is the same as Professor Zhou's, and I also give you a vote." After speaking, she sat back down.
He Huan spoke up hurriedly, afraid that the rhythm would be led astray. "Contestant Li Suifeng's judge panel vote is three votes, and the final vote percentage will be 95%. Let's give him a round of applause to congratulate him." "Our second performer is Situ Qi. Let's welcome his performance with applause."
After Li Suifeng went off stage, he started to frown upon hearing this name. Perhaps he was overthinking it. When Situ Qi performed with a guitar, Li Suifeng looked at his appearance and felt very familiar. General Manager Situ Sheng—yes, that's right, he looked very similar to General Manager Situ Sheng, but he was a bit more immature than General Manager Situ Sheng. He should be his younger brother or something similar.
He sang a love song. His guitar playing was quite good, and the song's melody was also great. It could be considered an above-average work, but it posed no threat to Li Suifeng.
After the 34th place, the one who came on stage was Wang Yufei, performing a song and Dance. Wang Yufei originally practiced Dance, and the song should have been found for her by General Manager Situ Sheng. The song was also at an above-average level.
Li Suifeng's objective evaluation was that the Dance was very watchable, but her Singing Ability was not very good. Looking at the performance of the previous contestants, it shouldn't be a problem for his ex-girlfriend to advance. In the end, Wang Yufei received four votes from the judge panel to pass. When she went off stage and looked toward the Star Mentor side, she found a pair of beautiful eyes staring at her coldly.
Finally, all 64 contestants had finished performing, and everyone, along with the host, went on stage.
Just as everyone wanted to stand at the front, Li Suifeng stood directly at the back. "Alright, all of our contestants have finished performing. All friends in front of the TV and in the Livestreaming room can scan the QR code in the bottom right corner of the screen. The audience at the scene can also scan the QR code on your admission tickets. Or vote for the contestants through the QR code on our official homepage. There is a five-minute time limit. It starts now."
After He Huan finished speaking, the audience in the stands took out their mobile phones and started voting one after another. The vote counts for each contestant also appeared on the big screen.
The one leading the way was Li Suifeng; his looks and strength were undoubtedly the strongest at the moment, making it easiest for him to attract fans. Following him in the rankings was a beauty named Ling Ruoxi, whose appearance was on the pure side, covering one of Wen Qingqing's famous songs. Third and fourth were Situ Qi and Lin Xingchen; these two had looks second only to Li Suifeng. Fifth was a rapper named Zhang Qilin.
