Chapter Seventy-Two: Dreams Never Fade
In the waiting area for students, several singers who have not yet come to the stage are scattered around the screen, either talking softly with familiar singers, or watching TV alone like An Ran.
When Wei Na on the screen resolutely said "Meng Xing is promoted", the waiting area of the students instantly fell silent, and several people turned their heads almost at the same time, looking at the little boy sitting in the back row, some regretted, and some gloated.
There is only one direct promotion in the knockout round in the group, as a mentor, Wei Na can use it at any time, as long as she is optimistic and plays today, she can directly enter the next round.
And the students in the Wei Na group also know that this place in the Wei Na group is either Meng Xing or An Ran, and it must be one of the two who will get it, whether it is compared to singing or fame, the chances of the other dozen students are too slim.
Although everyone has expected it in their hearts, and this is within the rules, everyone is not a child anymore, as long as they want to continue on this stage and want to achieve good results, they will not have any resentment against the mentor because of this.
But although that is the case, it is inevitable that there will be strong envy and jealousy of the two of them in their hearts, so when they saw Wei Na announcing Meng Xing's promotion, everyone's first reaction was a sour heart, and then they turned back to see An Ran's expression.
Although there is mockery in the eyes of some people, at most it is a little smug and strange satisfaction in the heart, no matter how famous you are, what is the use of the teacher not liking you? What about "the youngest star singer in China", not everyone is the same now!
In addition, there is no more malice, at least Enron didn't feel it, these people are just a little unbalanced in their hearts, which is completely understandable.
Whether it was sympathy or mockery, An Ran ignored their gaze, his face was still faint, staring at the screen intently, with a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth.
He had already expected this situation, after the tutor training, he had already seen many clues from Wei Na and Wu Ke's helplessness with some regret, but he was only slightly helpless, but he didn't take it too seriously.
And among these four mentors, if you want to say that the most competitive is the one who must belong to Wei Na, there is no doubt that she doesn't care about anything, don't look at her usual giggling, she doesn't seem to care about anything, but when it comes to the critical moment, she is definitely the most ruthless.
As many viewers concluded, at such times, even if Wei Na will show very difficult choices and reluctance in the face, and even often cry in the finals, but after counting every choice she has made in the past few years, everyone will be surprised to find that the only female xìng in this good voice is actually the most rational of the four mentors and the least swayed by feelings, which completely subverts everyone's previous impression of female xìng judges being casual and emotional.
So after having such a cognition, Enron will not be surprised and surprised by Wei Na's choice.
Exhaling slightly, An Ran turned his gaze to the other players around him, he swept over everyone's faces seriously, next, who will be his opponent?
……
There was no need to think about it more than An Ran, Meng Xing had already left the stage in the studio, and Wei Na also calmed down and returned to her chair.
The host Han Yu, the sāo movement in the audience gradually subsided, until the studio became quiet again, and finally announced the start of the seventh group of lots.
Wei Na pursed her lips, and in the nervous and expectant gaze of the audience, she slapped the red sè button heavily, and the only eight avatars left on the big screen flashed quickly.
This time she didn't make people wait too long, and immediately shouted to stop after ten seconds, and as her voice fell, the picture on the big screen stopped turning, and the two avatars were lined up on the left and right, facing each other.
A huge shout immediately sounded at the scene, and the applause was warm - Chen Jing vs An Ran!
Several mentors saw the lottery results on the screen, looked at each other, and looked at each other, several of them were also like the audience, both a little surprised, and a little surprised, I didn't expect Meng Xing and An Ran to be on stage continuously, so that the comparison between the two is more intuitive.
In the waiting area, Chen Jing, who had a scruffy beard and a vicissitudes of life, looked at the screen a little stunned, and it wasn't until the staff came to guide him that he came back to his senses, glanced at An Ran with complicated eyes, didn't say a word, and followed the staff to the studio.
An Ran's expression was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that his opponent was the eldest of the eighteen students, and he could be his father's uncle.
One of these two is the oldest and the other is the youngest, and they were actually drawn into a group, which is really a coincidence.
An Ran followed the staff and Uncle Chen Jing briskly, walked through the corridor into the studio, and when the huge audience seat and the black head appeared in front of him, An Ran couldn't help but feel a little stunned, two lives, this is definitely the biggest stage he has ever been on.
Although time and space have changed, and many things have changed, I have finally come here today, and I will continue to walk.
The flickering neon made him a little uncomfortable, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath to stabilize his mind.
The knockout tournament is live, right...... Mom and Dad, and the big witch and little girl, are you watching...... Mom must be babbling in front of the TV, Dad... I guess I'll be proud of myself......
……
According to the rules, the one with the name on the left sang first when drawing lots, so after An Ran greeted the four instructors and the audience, he stood on the steps on the east side of the stage with the host Han Yu, quietly waiting for Chen Jing to start performing.
Standing on the stage, Chen Jing hung his head, brewing emotions, mixed feelings in his heart, all kinds of emotions came to him, he is forty-five years old this year, not only the oldest one in the batch of students of The Voice, but also the most unfavorable one among the media and the audience.
Not to mention comparing with a little guy like An Ran, even compared with those singers in their twenties with unlimited potential, he really looks like a person who specializes in soy sauce.
Being able to pass the blind audition, in addition to his impeccable singing skills because of his years of experience, more seems to be just that the program needs such a gimmick.
Chen Jing sighed helplessly, he debuted very early, but his luck was really bad, neither favored by large companies, nor did anyone write songs for him, plus he himself is not an idol, so it can be said that he has achieved nothing for more than 20 years, so he has been on the edge of the music world, lingering in bars and various night clubs.
As time flies by, coupled with the consumption of personnel, those youthful dreams that have been hidden in the bottom of my heart have not been remembered for many years.
The stage of The Voice, for a singer like him, is already the last hope and sustenance at the moment, so as soon as he thought that he might have to leave after singing this song, Uncle Chen Jing's heart rose with infinite unwillingness.
Suddenly raised his head, with a face full of vicissitudes, a roar from the bottom of his heart, and sang the first syllable of the song he was going to sing, and then the accompaniment sounded, and the fierce and shocking singing voice vibrated in the studio.
This well-known rock music instantly ignited the emotions of the audience, making the atmosphere in Hall 1 scorching, people swaying, singing, cheering with Chen Jing's singing, infected by his emotions, and couldn't help but devote themselves to it.
With a smile on their faces, the four mentors swayed their bodies to the rhythm, and their eyes were full of approval when they looked at Chen Jing.
An Ran under the stage was also watching the uncle's performance with appreciative eyes at this time, slowly relaxing his somewhat nervous body and mood in the rhythmic rhythm.
Since Chen Jing was able to pass the blind audition, it shows that his skills and singing skills are in place, judging from the expressions of the audience on both sides of the screen, everyone is still satisfied and appreciative of him.
So five minutes later, when Chen Jing stopped singing with sweat on his face, the audience gave warm applause without hesitation.
The applause stopped for a while, and Yu Yanqing opened his mouth first, "It's really good to sing!" It's very affectionate, it's in place, and it's even more out than when you auditioned. ”
"That's right, Chen Jing has indeed improved a lot, especially in emotional investment, which is especially rare for a singer of your age." Chen Huan did not hesitate to praise him.
"Yes, age doesn't matter at all, you see Teacher Chen Huan, he is still so old and strong, and he is still so popular in the pop music world, you are still young compared to him......" Lei Kun commented and teased Chen Huan a few words by the way.
"I just want to say, keep singing, go on, come on!" Wei Na.
Because the duel was not over yet, and it was not yet time for specific comments, the four mentors only mentioned a few words and then stopped talking.
After Chen Jing bowed and thanked him and stepped down from the stage, the eyes of the entire scene, almost at the same time, were tightly fixed on the young face who was walking onto the stage after hugging Chen Jing.
An Ran stepped onto the stage lightly, glanced around lightly, looked at the crowd of black pressure, and took a deep breath.
He saw the complicated gods of several mentors, especially Wei Na, after he insisted on singing originally, and after some disputes, Suo Xìng did not ask about his singing, although An Ran was very confident, but it was inevitable that there would be slander, but at this time, seeing that she was a little worried, and quite "angry and indisputable" eyes, An Ran's heart swelled with emotion.
Cocking the corners of his mouth, An Ran smiled and nodded slightly to Wei Na, then he didn't think about it anymore, his eyes were empty, and a few seconds later, he made a gesture to the live director on the side of the stage, indicating that the accompaniment could be played, and the staff nodded and pressed the play button.
An Ran raised his head, his eyes diverged, and emotions were brewing......
But just two seconds later, his eyes widened violently, and his expression froze completely in that moment.
In front of the side, as far as his line of sight could see, a screen that reflected the expressions and status of the audience in real time, on the screen, a little girl stood on the edge of the upper floor, holding on to the railing, jumping, waving and cheering at the passing camera.
"Little sister...... Mom and Dad...... And Uncle Liang! An Ran opened his mouth in disbelief, in a trance.
The excited eyes of An's father and mother, the excited look of the little girl, and the cheers of Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang, all of them were imprinted in his mind at the moment when the camera flashed, and he didn't even hear the accompaniment that sounded.
It wasn't until the audience was in an uproar, the four mentors were inexplicably surprised, and Han Yu was even more panicked and gesticulating in concealment, that An Ran came back to his senses.
turned around, immediately made a stop gesture to the director, looked around An Ran, and finally lit up when he saw Han Yu's back, just in the astonishment of the audience who moved sāo, An Ran walked quickly to the stage, held a guitar behind Han Yu in his arms, and then turned around and went on stage.
At this moment, he completely ignored the astonishment of his mentor and the buzzing of the audience, and An Ran couldn't help but be excited.
The family sat in the audience and watched him perform, such a scene had been imagined countless times in his mind, no matter what life he was, he had never sung for his parents, let alone being on the scene like he is now, especially his father......
An Ran has always understood that Father An almost sees him as a continuation of hopes and dreams, unlike his mother's excitement and the excitement of the little girl, Dad's eyes are full of pride, and when the camera flashes, the tears in his eyes suddenly pierce An Ran's whole person.
At this time, there was only one thought in his mind, to sing a song and give it to his father.
"Hu ......" into the microphone, An Ran took a breath, looking at the tutor who was already obviously dissatisfied, and the audience who were clamoring, An Ran was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry, there was an accident, I have to change the song, please understand!" ”
Seeing that the sāo movement in the audience gradually subsided, the eyes of the audience were all looking here, and although several instructors frowned, fortunately, they still had some patience.
An Ran calmed his breath, stabilized his emotions, and tapped his fingers on the strings, "This song, I want to give it to those who have a special meaning in my life...... Once, there was such a teenager, he and his good brother, in order to chase their music dreams, the two of them went south and north, on the streets, in bars, on overpasses, in underground passages, in the eyes of people, insisted on enduring...... For the sake of dreams, they exhausted all the green chūn years......"
With An Ran's narration, the audience's attention was finally diverted, at least no longer thinking about the unexpected situation just now, but with his story, the mood gradually calmed down, Chen Huan and Weina and the four of them were also listening attentively, and the scene finally returned to normal again.
“…… Until many years passed, the two were separated by a music company, and the other opened a small video store, no matter what, the two did not stay away from music...... The years can take away the green chūn and make the boy an uncle, but it can't take away the dream......
I would like to say that dreams are just like classics, they will never fade because of time, but will become more precious!
Dad, Uncle Liang, this song is dedicated to you! ”
After An Ran finished speaking, the corners of his eyes were moist, he walked to the corner of the stage with his guitar in his arms, faced the audience, raised his head and sent a bright smile to the dark upstairs, and then sat on the edge of the stage.
Hearing this, the audience and several mentors at the scene suddenly understood the reason why An Ran was sluggish on the stage just now, the audience responded with warm applause, and the four mentors gradually relieved, after all, this is still a seventeen-year-old boy, in the eyes of many audiences, he is just a child, and it did not cause a big broadcast accident, everyone can fully understand.
The host, Han Yu, fixed the microphone on the lower steps, and then made an OK gesture to An Ran, sending an encouraging look.
An Ran bowed his head slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, his fingers hooked the strings, and a bright guitar prelude flowed out, and the crisp sound made the studio quiet for a moment.
Sitting high in the corner of the stage, except for a blue neon light, An Ran did not have any gorgeous background on his side, and he was still in that ordinary costume.
After half a minute of guitar playing, An Ran's pure voice, slightly hoarse, sang a melody that made everyone at the scene feel unfamiliar with it in a deep tone.
"That's the person I love so much
How do I express it?
Will she accept me
Maybe I'll never say that to her
I'm destined to wander the world
How can there be a concern......
