Chapter 18: The Ceylon River

Fang Xiyi and Lu Qiluan were waiting backstage, and when they heard the staff shouting that Chi An was ready to play, they got up and started to do the final warm-up activities.

Fang Xiyi has been busy practicing and rehearsing in the past 24 hours, and he has no time to see the situation of other people, he is very curious, the shy and little-spoken lyric singer Chi An, and the always eccentric, enthusiastic and lively idol Lu Ajian, two people with such contradictory styles are divided into a group, how will they interpret this sad and sentimental "Ceylon River".

said it was curious, but in fact, it was a bit of a good show.

After getting the complete guest list of this show, he wanted to find a chance to fight for a group with Chi An.

Without him, compared to other guests, the word "Chi An" alone is enough to carry weight. In the two years since his debut, he has already had a number of excellent works that singers can't achieve in their lifetimes, and the name "Chi An" can almost be directly equated with "good songs".

Anyone can foresee that in ten years, Chi An will definitely be among the top singers.

Whether it is getting to know her through this show, or keeping in touch after the show, and getting to know Chi An, it is extremely beneficial to himself with limited creative ability.

It's a pity that when he was just about to start, he heard that Lu A saw that as soon as he heard that there was Chi An, he immediately tried his best, and he had already won the opportunity to be in a group with Chi An. He originally thought that Wei Heguang, who had cooperated with Chi An, was the one he wanted to guard against, but now he was preempted by Lu Ajian, who was suddenly killed.

"What about a group? It's just a show. Fang Shuyi showed a subtle smile on his face, and thought proudly, "Out of the team, Ah Jian's temper has become worse and worse in the past two years. ”

It was because of him that he saw Wei Heguang and Chi An immediately ran to Lu Ajian to fan the flames, and he bet that Lu Ajian, who had a childish temper, would definitely be dissatisfied with Chi An because of this.

"I'm sorry, my good brother, who told us that we are rivals now?"

The crimson curtain shrouded the stage tightly, the audience waited quietly, a melodious Irish bagpipe sounded out of nowhere, suddenly, the dim and empty studio was filled with this fresh wind from Northern Europe, the curtain slowly opened, tin whistle, drums, accordions joined in turn, the golden light illuminated the "Wizard of Oz" general full of vitality stage, Chi An sat in a simple light gray linen dress, the berry red curls were simply braided with vines, and the cheeks were two strawberry-like flushes, like a doll running out of a fairy tale; Lu Ajian was dressed in a dark gray British newsboy outfit, and the sparse bangs on his forehead made him even more cute.

The melody of "The River of Ceylon" poured out in this joyful and vibrant way of playing, and the audience's eyes widened in amazement, and the originally soothing and intense "The River of Ceylon" was completely subverted by them into the song of youth of the young girls in the Nordic manor. Like the tea trees that flourish around them, "Ceylon River" is now full of rhythm and vitality, bringing a completely different feeling to the audience who have just finished watching a modern performance.

"It's like watching a musical." Someone muttered to himself.

The two men held hands in the tea garden, sang in unison, and danced a tap dance while singing to a cheerful rhythm. Accompanied by light music and dance steps, the audience is gradually drawn into their world -

They were childhood sweethearts, grew up in a tea plantation, they sang together, danced together, baked bread together, weeded the tea tree soil together, and later they fell in love, got married, lived together in the tea plantation, and lived carefree......

Then, the snare drum joined, and the dense beat of the drums made people nervous, and as soon as the sky darkened, the girl disappeared without a trace, and the music stopped abruptly, and then sounded again after a short silence, and the music was no longer cheerful, but gradually lower and deeper, and the boy anxiously searched, and walked around the tea garden with dance steps, and then circle, and the sky fell snowflakes.

"Look!" Someone shouted.

Through the big screen, everyone was surprised to find that the boy had changed, his eyes were vicissitudes and sad, full of painful thoughts, and the bangs that once symbolized immaturity were wet by snowflakes, adding a touch of mature and soulless charm to him.

How many people really realize at this moment: that little busy inland Ah Jian has already grown into a real man!

He left the tea garden, and sang in a low voice, heartbroken,

"They say that this year the tea is all over the floor again

And you, at this moment you

Where are you?

Will the tea garden appear in your dreams

And whether there is anyone or not

Can teach me not to look for you again

Learn to give up. ”

There used to be such a happy time, so after the loss, there will be the same pain and refusal to let go.

In Ajian's deep and affectionate singing, Chi An's ethereal singing voice followed from afar like a light veil, a man and a woman, a high and a low harmony, so that the audience couldn't help but hold their breath and listen, and couldn't bear to make one more noise to interrupt the brief meeting of the affectionate lovers in the song.

The last line of the song fell, and Ah Jian was the only one left on the stage, his hand holding the microphone did not fall, his eyes looked into the distance, immersed in this sad story, unable to extricate himself. The longer he spent with Chi An, the more he felt that he seemed to have a different emotion towards Chi An, but when he sang the line "Where are you at the moment?" , his eyes couldn't stop reminding him of the appearance when Chi An and Wei Heguang once sang on the same stage, and the lonely mood helped his performance even more.

It wasn't until the audience burst into applause that Chi An ran up briskly and naturally held him and bowed to the audience, that he pulled out of that sad mood, and when he bowed, he couldn't help but glance at Chi An, bitter and sweet in his heart.

The two stepped down, Chi An let go of his hand and walked in front, Ah Jian fell behind, and blurted out: "Chi An, do you think I still have a chance?" ”

Chi An turned his head, the red curls raised an elegant arc, thinking that Ah Jian was still thinking about the "uselessness theory of Ah Jian" before he came on stage, Chi An smiled and encouraged him: "Of course there is, the game will only start now!" ”

When Ah saw and heard the words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He knew that Chi An might not understand what he was referring to, but it didn't matter, as long as the answer was yes, it would be enough.

β€”β€”

She lost.

Lu Qiluan watched the whole show through the backstage monitor, even if she had less than two minutes to go on stage to perform, she should maintain the most confident state, she still couldn't suppress the frustration and loss that hit her.

Chi An only appeared for half a song, but she felt that she had been thrown away from tens of thousands of songs.

She was able to turn an ordinary lyric into a musical!

Lu Qiluan was frustrated to find that when she would only show the most "murderous" stage performance on the stage unchanged, and study how to switch her breath more perfectly while dancing, Chi An had already jumped out of the track and really started playing music, telling stories, and doing art!

After the end of "Flower War", she is not short of resources, variety shows, galas, acting, albums, she strives to do her best, not only for her original dream, but also for a person, a person who will be compared with her wherever she goesβ€”β€”β€”β€” Chi An.

"The guest of honor this time is Lu Qiluan, if only Chi An could come......"

"The director said that the theme song was sung by Chi An, and he originally wanted to ask her to make a cameo, but Chi An said that he couldn't act well, and Lu Qiluan could play it, so what ...... she couldn't play well"

"Lu Qiluan is so cute...... Chi An reacted too quickly, although there were few words, but every sentence was very interesting......"

Again, she lost to Chi An convincingly.

β€”β€”

"Are you alright?"

Before entering the field, Fang Xiyi saw that Lu Qiluan had kept his head down and asked.

"It's fine." Lu Qiluan raised his head, his eyes were full of fighting intent, Chi An, even if I lose, I won't be caught, no matter this time, or next time, don't think I'll bow my head!
