Chapter 46: In My Heart
Han Mo retracted his gaze, looked into the microphone, and said lightly, ""Southern Girl" is dedicated to everyone. β
The surrounding lights gradually dimmed, the scene was silent, he adjusted the guitar strap slightly, and suddenly the lights came on again, and a beam of light hit Han Mo's body.
The audience stared at the stage with expectant eyes, and in an instant, it seemed that the bar singer who had been seen countless times in the video returned to them with the most realistic image.
At the moment when the eyes of the two collided and separated, Shu Ya's heart seemed to be bounced, and she couldn't say how she felt, she looked away and deliberately didn't look at the direction of the stage.
Zhai Xu didn't know the situation, thinking that Shu Ya disdained to look at Han Mo, and pouted beside him and whispered, "This guy doesn't have any skills, just rely on hype, this is all Internet celebrity, it's short-lived, don't look at it." β
Shu Ya didn't speak, nor did she have any expression, pretending not to hear.
"Those Flowers" has drunk the hearts of countless people, and fans can sing every lyric silently in their hearts, how much they hope to hear that melody again at this moment, but Han Mo did not choose to sing this song that has been recognized by everyone and will make the success rate of the competition higher, but chose "Southern Girl" that no one has heard.
When Li Manli received the track list, she sweated for Han Mo in her heart, singing "Those Flowers" in the first issue is undoubtedly the safest, there is already a fan base, and everyone is looking forward to it, and then let everyone feel this song, it is the best choice, at least in Li Manli's heart.
Wang Qian had already quietly come to the scene, she knew that Han Mo would come to participate in the competition, so she lurked in the venue early and found the most favorable terrain. What she didn't expect was that Guo Tao also followed to the scene, and stood beside Wang Qian without a sound.
"Director Guo. Wang Qian was a little surprised and whispered.
Guo Tao nodded with a smile and fell his gaze to the stage.
"You say, why didn't Han Mo sing "Those Flowers", he was the first to sing that song. Wang Qian said with some puzzlement.
In fact, Guo Tao didn't understand Han Mo's behavior, why did he give up a song with such a high popularity, and he knew that Meng Si covered Han Mo as a bar singer so strictly, just to make a splash in this competition, wouldn't it be better to choose "Those Flowers", a song that is already popular.
Guo Tao thought for a moment and said casually, "Maybe Han Mo has his own plans." β
Guo Tao and Wang Qian didn't speak again, both of them quietly watched the stage, waiting for Han Mo's performance.
Han Mo's slender fingers plucked on the strings, the prelude sounded, the rhythm was very soothing, the scene became quieter, everyone was listening carefully to the melody on the stage, and with the end of the last syllable of the prelude, Han Mo's clean voice spread through the calm of the scene.
"The village of the north ~ lives a girl from the south...... She always likes to wear a dress with flowers ~ standing on the side of the road...... She doesn't say much~ but her smile is so calm and melodious...... What is in her weak eyes~ It's the sadness of longing......"
Shu Ya, who had already looked away, couldn't help but raise her head, looked at Han Mo on the stage, and silently recited in her heart: Southern girl......
Han Mo's song is not a high-pitched type, but his voice is very penetrating, the song itself has a strong sense of substitution, coupled with Han Mo's unique voice, the interpretation of the song is incisive, just one sentence, the audience is deeply infected.
The audience no longer wondered why it wasn't those flowers, but couldn't help but follow Han Mo's rhythm and listen to him tell about the girl from the south.
"The small town in the south ~ The rainy winter is not as cold as the north, she doesn't need bloated cotton clothes ~ to cover her watery face, she leaves a shadow fragrance on the streets where she comes and goes~ In the back of people's hearts, the time of the blink of an eye ~ The fragrance has drifted away~ The shadow has disappeared ......"
The Southern Girl is a song that Han Mo liked very much in the original world, both the lyrics and the melody gave people a faint feeling at first, but it can poke the hearts of every listener, yes, it is the girl who is desperate for you, from the south to the north, the girl who hides in your heart.
"Southern girl, are you used to the cool autumn of the north, southern girl, do you like the straightforwardness of the northerners......"
Shu Ya gasped and clenched her fists slightly, every lyric was so clear, and every word touched her heart.
More than six years ago, Shu Ya followed Han Mo resolutely from the southern city to the northern capital despite the opposition of her family, they could only live in a basement of only a few square meters, squeezed into a single bed of one meter two, at that time she was very unaccustomed to the weather in the north, but never mentioned it to Han Mo, spent countless nights in a cold room, never depressed and confused, because she could snuggle up to him, she cooked for him and did everything, he was busy looking for his dream every day, his thoughts were fixed at a certain moment, Shu Ya restrained herself from thinking about it anymore, and took a deep breathγ
The singing continues, no high-pitched showmanship, no fast-paced drums, no hot dance, one person, one guitar, one microphone, telling the story that belongs to the singer.
"The days are like those sleepless nights, she chews gum~ talking about ideals on the wall...... Southern girl, we are all enduring a long time, southern girl, is it a tall building that obscures your hope...... Southern girl, are you in love with the north, southern girl, you said you were going back to your hometown today......"
Zhai Xu saw that Shu Ya didn't want to pay attention to him, so he whispered to himself, "The lyrics are so white, and the skirt with flowers?" After speaking, he pouted with a sneer, but he was the only one who cared about his comments, and everyone in the audience except him was attracted by Han Mo who was holding a guitar and wearing a low-key style on stage.
Until the last lyric, accompanied by the melody plucked by Han Mo, floated to every corner of the hall......
"Missing makes people's hearts sad, she calls out to your tears, the fruit of the south is ripe, that is your simple ideal......"
At the end of the singing, the guitar sound gradually weakened, and the time seemed to be set at that moment, the audience present was moved by Han Mo's singing, and some young female audience members had tears in their eyes, until the voice disappeared completely, and the audience realized that the song was over, the story was over, and suddenly, the applause was thunderous.
Guest judge Lei Jia is a famous musician in the circle, and he is also a singer, he has produced many popular songs when he was young, he took the lead in clapping his hands vigorously and said loudly, "This is the soul singer, this is a new force in the music world, a talent who sings and writes well." The old man praised Han Mo without hesitation.
Zhai Xu snorted coldly unconvinced, but everyone was applauding, so he reluctantly slapped a few times.
Han Mo bowed deeply to the audience, and the host Li Manli appeared again.
"Thank you Han Mo for letting us hear such a moving song again, is this your original work?" Li Manli was a little excited, and her voice was much higher than usual.
Han Mo let out a light "um".
"After "Those Flowers", this "Southern Girl" allows us to hear another touching story, as if it happened right around us, every lyric is a shot, so clear and vivid. Li Manli didn't prepare a string of words in advance, these are her real feelings after listening to Han Mo's singing.
The audience applauded again, and the applause echoed through the studio again.
"Thank you, thank you. Han Mo said lightly.
"Then, may I ask, is the southern girl written to someone this week?" Li Manli's question was asked for herself and for all the audience.
As soon as this question came out, the scene was instantly quiet, and everyone was waiting for the answer in Han Mo's mouth.
Shu Ya held her breath, raised her eyes slightly, her eyes wandered over Han Mo for a moment, and then moved away lonely.
"Yes. β
Shu Ya's heart tightened, and she suddenly looked up at Han Mo, with a trace of complicated emotions in her eyes.
Han Mo's answer was simple and crisp, and the audience instantly boiled. Even Lei Jia was a little excited, looking at the stage with interest.
How could Li Manli miss this opportunity, and immediately continued to ask, "Where is she?"
Shu Ya's charming eyes trembled slightly, and her heart, which had been fluctuating violently, was once again suspended high.
Han Mo's lips pursed slightly, his gaze turned slightly downward, and at that moment, Shu Ya also cast his gaze......
At the moment of collision again, Shu Ya held her breath, she was looking forward to Han Mo's answer, but she was afraid to hear the answer.
With just a glance, Han Mo looked away.
The whole audience was waiting for his answer, but Han Mo smiled faintly, "She, in my heart." β
