Chapter 14 Unspoken Rules?
Although the judges were harsher in the previous episodes, none of them were as harsh as Xia's single sentence.
Zhou Shen opened her mouth wide, which made Xia Haomeng realize that although she herself felt that the song was not very good, she always gave the contestants some face.
The audience and viewers alike were abuzz with discussion. The host's eyes widened; in all his years of hosting, he'd never seen anyone so outspoken. Regardless of which company the contestant belonged to, the host showed no mercy, launching into a scathing critique.
The contestant laughed in exasperation, "You're not a professional singer, what gives you the right to say that?"
"I'm not a singer, I'm just answering your question as an ordinary listener. Anyone can sing this song, it's just a catchy pop song."
"Catchphrases" are, as the name suggests, songs that don't have much meaning. They're not necessarily well-written, but they're catchy and become popular for no apparent reason.
"Sing it for me, come up on stage and sing!" the contestant shouted at Ling Xia, unable to contain his anger.
Then everyone saw Ling Xiazhen stand up and walk towards the stage, and everyone's eyes followed her to the stage.
When he actually went up there, the audience erupted in excitement. Everyone stared wide-eyed, eager to see what kind of incident was going on.
"Leave the stage to me"
The host dragged the contestant who wanted to punch someone off the stage because the director's voice came through her earpiece, telling Ling Xia to sing.
Ling Xia was dazzling on stage. She raised her left hand and made a gesture of closing, and for some reason, the audience and the audience fell silent.
She bowed to the music teachers, who were taken aback for a moment before quickly returning the bow – a gesture of mutual respect among musicians.
The music teacher instantly took a liking to Ling Xia; those idols never showed such courtesy. This was just a minor incident.
The etiquette was something Lingxia remembered when she saw it on "I Am a Singer" on Earth, and she never expected it to come in handy.
"I am not a singer, but I love music. Music is sacred."
The appraisers opposite him had different expressions.
The audience below the stage were watching the spectacle with amusement, eager to see Ling Xia make a fool of herself.
The cool girl held a microphone in her hand, her fingers tapping lightly, and her magnetic voice rang out.
"The barbecue restaurant is filled with the smell of smoke; next door is a martial arts school."
This is an upbeat song, very catchy, and it makes your body move involuntarily.
"The tea ceremony performed by the madam in the shop has three stages."
"The boss who teaches boxing and martial arts practices Iron Palm and wields the Yang Family Spear."
"His forte is solid basic kung fu; he also knows the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Cover techniques."
……
Holy crap, those words, that voice, is that really Ling Xia?
Summers: My little one is so wonderful, you sing so well, Mommy loves you.
The music teacher followed along, playing the drums.
Time seemed to stand still when Ling Xia spoke.
The audience fell silent. Then came a burst of cheers. Everyone moved to the rhythm of Ling Xia on stage, and cheers erupted.
What kind of amazing rap is this? Is it original?
Backstage, the director and screenwriter hugged each other, relieved to see each other's situation.
The furious contestant, number 3, stood there dumbfounded. Why wasn't this guy playing by the rules? Is there any way to undo this now? The audience behind him shouted in unison, creating a lively atmosphere.
Are the judges nodding in approval? The chorus is almost here, and the chorus will determine how popular it becomes.
"Quickly use the nunchucks! Hum hum ha hee!"
Hum hum ha hee
"Quickly use the nunchucks! Hum hum ha hee!"
Hum hum ha hee
"Those who practice martial arts must remember: the benevolent are invincible."
The benevolent are invincible
Who is practicing Tai Chi with such flair?
风生水起
"Quickly use the nunchucks! Hum hum ha hee!"
Hum hum ha hee
"Quickly use the nunchucks! Hum hum ha hee!"
Hum hum ha hee
"If I had the skill of lightness of a kung fu, I could fly over rooftops and scale walls."
Flying over eaves and scaling walls
"Upright and unyielding, possessing a strong sense of justice."
upright
The audience cheered when the song ended. Applause resounded throughout the studio.
Even the lyricist among the judges couldn't sit still: "This lyric's style is a stunning blend of rock and rap, combining strength and gentleness. It has pioneered a new musical style."
The host then came on stage and asked, "Ling Xia, is this song your original composition?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Jay Chou, I'll borrow your song for a moment. I'll definitely make it famous." Ling Xia said without blushing or skipping a beat.
After answering the question, Ling Xia calmly walked off the stage and returned to her seat, only to see Zhou Shen staring at her with bright eyes.
"Lingxia, you've been hiding your true abilities!" Zhou Shen moved the sofa, but found she couldn't move it, so she moved her body as far to the left as possible.
"Write me a song!"
"It depends on inspiration." Believe it or not, there really is one, a big fish on the other side of the world, but I need to recall the lyrics.
Zhou Shen nodded, satisfied with the answer. She looked around and saw that everyone was craning their necks to listen quietly.
When they saw Zhou Shengsheng looking over, they all gave an awkward smile.
If we had known Ling Xia was so capable, we should have tried to win her over earlier. Many people regret it now.
The singers who followed her all slunk away after Ling Xia finished her song. Because the day's peak had been reached.
……
Although Ling Xia only came for one term, everyone insisted on having a casual meal with her. He couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
Dinner was arranged at the recently renovated and luxurious Huating Hotel. Our group of more than 20 people booked a medium-sized private room.
The group followed the waiter toward the private room. As they passed one of the rooms, the door suddenly opened, and Tong Yaya came out with a slightly flushed face. Perhaps she had drunk a lot, as Tong Yaya kept pounding her chest with her fists, as if trying to burst out the gas.
Upon hearing footsteps, Tong Yaya, being a public figure, immediately straightened her back and looked ahead.
When Tong Yaya saw Ling Xia approaching like a star surrounded by admirers, anger instantly rose in her heart. She was entertaining a few pot-bellied, greedy, and lustful investors, so why was Ling Xia treated like a queen, having to listen to their obsequious smiles?
Tong Yaya's eyes narrowed slightly, her smile as bright as a flower. Wearing sky-high heels, she strode to Ling Xia's side, grabbing her arms to prevent her from escaping. Her expression was like that of someone seeing a long-lost relative. "Ling Xia, my dear sister, I've missed you so much!"
Ling Xia originally intended to sit for a while and then leave, but she didn't expect to see Tong Yaya, that dangerous person, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. She had heard from Sister Zhao that her past scandals were all revealed by Tong Yaya's agent.
Like father, like son. The moment Xia saw Tong Yaya, he tensed up and went into battle mode. But Tong Yaya grabbed his arm tightly and wouldn't let go.
Tong Yaya is definitely up to something again. As the two faced off, a middle-aged man walked out of the private room.
The middle-aged man was obese, with thinning hair, and his face was so fleshy that his eyes were almost squeezed out. His face was flushed, and he reeked of alcohol. His suit was half-open, revealing his white flesh, and his tie was loosely tied around his neck.
Upon seeing Tong Yaya, he chuckled and let out a burp. Ignoring the many people around, he grabbed Tong Yaya and pulled her in front of him. Tong Yaya choked. "Yaya, keep drinking. If you make me happy, I'll make you the female lead in this movie."
Tong Yaya eagerly pulled Ling Xia over, smiling at the middle-aged man, "My little sister also wants to join this show."
The middle-aged man then noticed Ling Xia. His small eyes widened instantly, and he raised his hand to touch Ling Xia's face. "There's another little beauty here. Come have a drink with me, and I'll give you the lead role."
Tong Yaya's expression changed upon hearing this. She looked at the investor she had just been drinking with in the private room with in disbelief. "Businessmen are indeed fickle," she thought.
