Chapter 417: Glorious
Wan Kun sang and danced on the stage, very hard.
There were also some little girls in the audience holding "Wankun" lantern signs, swaying the lantern signs in their hands to the rhythm of the music.
How else to say that Wan Kun is different from those other draft players?
It's nice that most of the talent players can have their relatives and friends to watch the performance, and the most they can cheer on is to write their names on paper, and even if they are lit up in the dimly lit audience, the players on stage will basically not see anything.
Not to mention that the vast majority of the contestants have no family and friends to cheer at all.
But Wan Kun has surpassed the level of "family and friend group" and jumped directly to the stage of "fan group". has been familiar with various talent shows for a long time, and he already has his own fan base.
This makes Wan Kun more like a little star than those draft amateurs, but an eighteenth-tier star.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Although Wan Kun's wrist is small, there should still be pomp and circumstance.
There are fans to pick up at the airport, there are fans waiting to sign autographs when participating in the draft, there are fans holding light signs to support during the performance, and you can get the screams and popularity of fans wherever you go, and there is no shortage of agents and assistants.
It was almost an instant hit on the talent show and became popular all over the country.
At this moment, in the audition of "Super Good", the Wankun fans in the audience swayed with the singing of their idols, with an intoxicated look on their faces - this is not what they pretended, but they really feel that their idols sing very well.
But what completely different from them were the three judges on stage.
The impatience on their faces did not improve because of Wan Kun's handsome face.
The only advantage of being handsome may be that the performance is not interrupted by the judges halfway.
After Wan Kun finished singing, the music stopped, and he panted and looked at the judges, not forgetting to maintain a handsome smile on his face, waiting to get a ticket to the top 64 in the country.
The fans in the audience collectively cheered and screamed, applauding their idols.
In the courtesy applause of the other audiences, their cheers were still very prominent.
So the only female judge among the three judges glanced back at the audience.
At the same time, the oldest male judge asked Wan Kun: "Okay, Wan Kun, how do you think you sing?" β
Wan Kun obviously didn't expect the judges to ask such a question, shouldn't the standard process ask him what his dreams are?
He was ready to answer the judges, although his family was in difficulty, his parents did not support him, and others ridiculed him, but he never gave up the dream of music, and he was eager to comfort his grandmother's spirit in heaven on this stage, and he also believed that his grandfather would be proud of him if he could hear the news of his dream under Jiuquan......
But why don't the judges follow the routine?
His handsome face froze, and he did not answer the judges' questions in time, so the judge, who is known for his severity in the Chinese music industry, repeated the question just now: "This contestant, how do you think you sang just now?" β
Wan Kun had recovered from his state of absence by this time, and his brain told him to come up with the best answer.
Of course, he couldn't just say, "I think I sing pretty well." β
Nor can he say, "I don't think I'm singing well." β
He couldn't even say, "I think I'm singing...... Not bad. β
In the end, he could only stammer, "This ...... I came to participate in this audition because I really want to get the comments of the judges and teachers, so that I can continue to learn and improve and improve my ......."
The judge interrupted Wan Kun's stammering reply: "Then you're in the wrong place, Wan Kun." β
This answer surprised not only Wan Kun, but also the fans in the audience, who looked at everything that was happening on stage with some trepidation, not knowing what to do.
The judge raised his hand and pointed to the draft logo on the stage: "What kind of show are we?" 'Super nice', right? It is to screen out sixty-four contestants who sing well from all over the country, and then select the super good one from these sixty-four, rather than singing teaching programs, so if you are not good at your own level and want to come here to learn and improve, I can only say, young man, you have come to the wrong place. β
The judge surnamed Li is the oldest of the three judges, and he often plays the role of "black face" in the previous "super good" shows, and is known for not smiling, making sharp comments, and not showing mercy to the contestants, and even sometimes his criticism of the contestants will cause disgust among the audience, which has caused controversy on the Internet.
But this Mr. Li was unmoved by those controversies, and the program team had no intention of replacing the judge, and it seems that the program team also thinks that this kind of controversy is a good thing for the show. Although the audience didn't like the judge's sharp approach, they were also very much looking forward to the judge being slapped in the face, so there was a situation where Mr. Li's intimidation disgusted the audience, the more the audience had to chase after the show......
At this time, another male judge next to Judge Li, a slightly younger Mr. Wang, also spoke: "I personally suggest, Wan Kun." When you can't control your breath well, don't choose this way of singing and dancing, the movements look handsome, but the singing is really ...... Sort of, well, a little miserable......"
Mr. Wang is the more moderate of the three judges, relatively gentle, not as sharp as Mr. Li, and will not deliberately find faults. If he usually thinks about the effect of the show, he will play a round for Wan Kun. But today may have been here for almost a day, and he has been devastated by all kinds of magic sounds, resulting in a loss of patience, so the gentle teacher Wang has no heart to speak for the contestant, and he also expressed his opinion very straightforwardly, hoping to speed up the progress of the audition, and he doesn't want to argue for a long time on the question of whether this contestant should be promoted.
Among the three judges, the young and beautiful women, who are usually mainly responsible for all kinds of moving tears, also shook their heads, and there was no sign of being confused by Wan Kun's beauty.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Wan Kun is full of confidence in his performance, thinking that he will definitely make it to the round of 64, and Wan Kun's fans are also well prepared and plan to witness the scene live.
As a result, things slipped in a direction beyond their control.
Wan Kun stood on the stage with the microphone, sensing the danger, but he didn't know how to defend himself or work harder, he just stared blankly at the three judges in front of him.
"Since everyone's opinion is very unanimous, then ......" Teacher Li turned his head to look at his two companions, and after eye contact, he announced to Wan Kun. I'm sorry, player number 672, Wan Kun, you can't pass. β
Accompanied by three piercing sound effects, three giant red crosses appeared above the stage.
β»β»β»
The other players who were waiting in the hall saw Wan Kun come out of the door.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wan Kun's face, hoping to see the result from his expression.
And with just one glance, the results came out.
Although Wan Kun tried hard to show composure and calm in front of this group of amateur rookies he looked down upon, the feelings of frustration and pain still appeared on his face irrepressibly.
The sun was replaced by dark clouds, and the handsomeness was eclipsed by the loss of brilliance.
What the result is, it goes without saying.
Although many people don't like the sense of superiority that Wan Kun shows all the time, they do have the strength of others, which is better than many amateurs.
But now that even he has been eliminated from the competition, it has made many people's inner tension even worse - I'm afraid that the rest of them will also end up with the same ending as Wan Kun.
Many people looked at the dark doorway again, and suddenly felt that the door was not leading to the stage of dreams, but a trap that devoured people......
At this moment, the staff member who poked out of the mouth shouted: "Next, six hundred and seventy-three!" β
The onlookers were no longer as enthusiastic as before, hoping that the next one would be able to shout to them, but became a little cringe.
Of course, they are also glad that it is not themselves who are shouting.
In their minds, the three judges must be in a state of rage, and whoever performs now is simply going to die.
Feng Shiyu put her phone on silent and put it in her pocket, then picked up the guitar next to her, got up and walked towards the doorβshe was number 673.
Everyone's eyes turned to her, and after noticing her beauty, they felt sorry for her in their hearts - with this appearance, if they participated in the audition performance in the morning, they would all enter the top 64...... Now, the handsome and sunny professional Hu Wankun has been eliminated, what chance does this amateur who everyone has never seen before?
Others are filled with twisted pleasure - what's the use of being pretty? Do you want to be eliminated from the competition? I don't know if this beautiful woman will still be so beautiful when she runs out of it crying......
Feng Shiyu could feel the gazes that were staring at her, but she ignored them, took the guitar she had bought in Genoa, walked through the path that those people had automatically separated, and entered the door.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the door was shut.
Looking at the closed door, some of the contestants seemed to think that even if they went to perform, they would just waste their time, so they simply packed up their things and turned around and left here.
Others are unwilling to stay and continue to stay, still waiting for a miracle to befall them.

When Feng Shiyu stood on the stage with a guitar in his arms, facing the three judges and the somewhat listless audience, Judge Li smiled: "Interesting, a handsome guy just left, and here is another beauty." Introduce yourself, this player. β
"Hello judges and teachers, my name is Feng Shiyu." Feng Shiyu bowed slightly.
"Okay, then you can just start performing." Judge Li waved his hand, and didn't want to ask Feng Shiyu what his ideals, dreams, and family background were, he just wanted to end the long and painful work of the day as soon as possible.
Feng Shiyu also hung up the guitar very simply, sat on high feet, plucked the strings, and began the performance.
Judge Li, who was originally sitting in a chair, didn't take this performance seriously, but when he heard the prelude of the guitar playing, he suddenly frowned.
He turned his head to look at Judge Wang next to him, and found that the other party also had the same doubts as himself.
At this moment, Feng Shiyu on the stage spoke:
"I've been looking for you and I haven't been able to do so, I thought I'd run out of luck. But I never thought that you would come to me on your own initiative. Now that I see the love in your heart, I will not let you down. Even in the toughest of times, we are unstoppable......"
She sang English lyrics, and the solemn look on the judges' faces was very obvious at first, and the audience seemed to be a little confused, after all, not everyone can easily understand the English lyrics.
But as she sang, everyone's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Judge Li was even tapping his fingers to the rhythm of the music.
The only female judge among the three had already closed her eyes, shook her head, and showed an intoxicated expression, as if she was immersed in Feng Shiyu's singing.
Although not everyone in the audience could understand what Feng Shiyu was singing, they didn't know why, listening to her singing, their faces would bloom with a heartfelt smile, they gently swayed their bodies to the brisk music, and the fatigue and complaints of sitting in the audience all day were swept away with the singing......
ββ¦β¦ Now we are like flames, shining from the inside out. So we climbed higher into the sky, where we had never been. Having been freed, we will never be resigned to the status quo ante, and we will never give up our resistance even in the most difficult times......"
Although Feng Shiyu was on the stage, there seemed to be a picture of Gao Zheng running on the green field in front of him. She closed her eyes and smiled as she sang and played.
ββ¦β¦ You and I will never stop. Running on the road to chasing dreams, as if it was a matter of life and death. You and I will never admit defeat, never admit defeat, never admit defeat...... We never, never...... We will grow old, we will no longer be alone, and wherever we go, we will shine incomparably...... Trust me, we're going to shine like ......"
The song ends with guitar and the humming of Feng's ballad "oooo".
But after the singing died down, the scene fell silent.
Feng Shiyu opened her eyes in surprise, and found that the three judges in front of her also opened their eyes at the same time, and they all cast their eyes over.
Immediately after that, the audience woke up like a dream, and erupted in warm applause and excited whistles.
The theater had been silent for a long time, but now it finally came back to life.

PS, the title of this chapter is the title of this song "Glorious", which is the theme song of the North American version of "Rock and Roll Mastiff" released in 2017, sung by Rolfe Kent and Adam Friedman.
The Chinese version of "Love" was written by Zheng Jun.
The reason why I chose the English version instead of the Chinese version is because I think the English version of the lyrics is more in line with what Feng Shiyu wants to express.
