Chapter 524 is great!
Time is something that catches you off guard.
Lin Yourong was completely immersed in this warm and tender atmosphere, and as the melody progressed, she naturally began to use a crying tone in her singing.
At this moment, her voice became even higher, every word filled with deep emotion, carrying a powerful infectiousness, and the vocal pressure was also very high.
The camera precisely captured her slightly furrowed brows.
Her eyes were misty, the mist growing thicker and thicker, and a large tear welled up in her eye, shimmering in the light before slowly sliding down her beautifully shaped chin.
The camera then quickly panned across the audience.
A middle-aged woman's shoulders trembled slightly, tears streaming down her face.
The tissue in her hand was crumpled and crumpled beyond recognition.
The third chorus brought the atmosphere to an unprecedented climax.
This intense emotional atmosphere was not at all heavy; instead, it was filled with warmth and affection, like the warm sun in winter, quietly seeping into everyone's hearts and deeply touching everyone.
"Sometimes sunny, sometimes windy; sometimes cloudy, sometimes rainy."
"We can't compete with the present moment, yet we yearn for the past."
"They stole my youthful hair, but they kept you..."
The song drifted on and on, and Lin Su's slightly trembling, tearful singing seemed to lead the audience through the gaps of time, awakening those beautiful memories that had been dormant deep in their minds.
In the living room, Zhang Ye unconsciously clasped his hands tightly together.
She leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed intently on the television screen.
Ji Meng's playful smile had vanished without a trace. Her mouth was slightly open, and her face was filled with emotion as she immersed herself in the musical atmosphere created by Lin Yourong.
"Just because you're willing to be with me~"
"Watching the clouds drift by, the breeze gentle and the sky light."
As the last line of lyrics was softly sung from Lin Yourong's lips, the audience was completely captivated by her tender and affectionate voice.
In an instant, thunderous applause erupted, like a tidal wave, lasting for a long time.
The camera panned across the audience again, where people wiped away the tears still lingering in their eyes and eagerly stood up to applaud. Their expressions were sincere and enthusiastic, expressing their heartfelt appreciation for Lin Yourong's wonderful performance in the most straightforward way.
Lin Yourong raised her hand and gracefully wiped away the remaining tear stains from the corners of her eyes.
Then, under the camera's focus, she bent down slightly and bowed slightly to the audience, her posture humble yet graceful.
The television screen glowed with a faint light.
The performance has ended.
Ji Meng suddenly hugged Lin Yourong tightly, rubbing her head against her shoulder repeatedly, and excitedly exclaimed, "Rongrong, your performance on stage this time was absolutely amazing! Every lyric felt warm and touching, it almost made me cry!"
Lin Yourong pursed her lips slightly, and a faint smile bloomed on her lips.
She responded softly, "If you want to move the audience, you have to be moved yourself first. What my senior sister said is quite true."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye's chest heaved slightly, and he let out a long sigh. His voice, tinged with an undeniable hoarseness, slowly said:
"You Rong sang with great passion and emotion, and Xiao Yu's writing is also excellent. The lyrics are really touching, and You Rong's singing is so moving that it made me reminisce about my youth and the love that seems so innocent now... 'Life is a journey with no return, good and bad are all scenery,' this lyric is really well written!"
His words revealed both open-mindedness and deep emotion.
Upon hearing these words, Yu Huan turned her gaze away from the television and looked at Zhang Ye, only to see a relieved smile on her lips.
Zhang Ye raised his hand and gently and slowly wiped away the traces left at the corner of his eye, as if he were carefully suppressing the complex emotions that had just surged up.
At this moment, the mother-in-law turned slightly to the side, her eyes full of concern, and asked softly, "The person you dated when you were young, I think, was also a singer named Zhang Hang, right?"
"Sister Fang, you have such a good memory!" Zhang Ye smiled and nodded, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Hang was also a very popular male singer in the 1980s.
However, at the time, he was imprisoned for three years due to the crackdown.
After falling in love with Zhang Ye, rumors of his immoral private life loomed over him like a dark cloud, which naturally met with strong opposition from Zhang Ye's parents.
Despite dating for eight years, the two ultimately failed to overcome numerous obstacles, and their relationship ended without a trace.
Old Lin's eyes were also filled with emotion. He subconsciously pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and exclaimed sincerely, "Xiao Yu's writing is truly outstanding! At first, I was thinking of asking him to help me write materials. I didn't expect him to live up to my expectations and successfully run for acting deputy director of the new media department based on his own abilities."
As someone who has been through it all in his forties, Zhang Ye quickly detached himself from the emotions evoked by the song.
She smiled broadly, looked at Yu Huan, and chimed in, "Brother Lin, you've really found a good son-in-law!"
After being praised by everyone, Yu Huan waved her hand slightly and said with a light smile, "If you keep praising me like this, my tail will be wagging in the air."
Upon hearing this, Old Lin smiled warmly and said earnestly, "It's good not to be arrogant, Xiao Yu. Although you have achieved some success, you still need to take it one step at a time. The road ahead is still long."
Yu Huan immediately replied with a slightly teasing tone, "I will follow Dad's teachings!"
After a brief exchange, everyone's attention returned to the television.
The television screen quickly switched to the dressing room of several singers.
Huang Qishan raised her hands high and clapped vigorously, her body swaying slightly to the rhythm. Her eyes revealed undisguised admiration, and she kept muttering:
"Lin Su's voice is so expressive and nuanced! She sang it so well, it was so moving! I love the song 'Time Thief' so much!"
Shang Wenjie then picked up a tissue and gently wiped the corner of her eye.
With their eyes fixed on the screen showing Lin Su bowing, they clapped along with the continuous applause. In an instant, the camera quickly returned to the stage.
Hu Haiquan stood in the center of the stage, a shy smile on his face, and raised the microphone, saying, "This is how a singer should be, right?"
As he finished speaking, he nodded thoughtfully.
The audience erupted in waves of cheers upon hearing his interaction.
A thunderous response erupted, a chorus of shouts: "Yes!"
The camera quickly panned across the audience, where many audience members had red eyes and tears glistening in the corners of their eyes. Their hands seemed to be clapping tirelessly, as if they were still immersed in the musical atmosphere that Lin Su had just created, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, the scene changed again.
Shen Mengchen, dressed in a light blue short-sleeved dress, walked intimately beside Lin Su as the two strode forward.
Shen Mengchen turned her head and brought her face close to Lin Su's, a bright smile on her face, and asked with concern, "How was it? How do you feel about your performance?"
"what do you think?"
A faint smile played on Lin Su's lips.
After asking the question, he sniffed lightly, clearly still not completely shaken off the emotions from the performance.
"I think it was absolutely amazing! Even now, I can still hear the applause from the audience, it was so enthusiastic! You know what, I couldn't help but shed tears, I used up several tissues! I was so deeply moved! Especially when you sang the last part, it felt like all my pores opened up, and my hair stood on end!"
Shen Mengchen was particularly excited, her voice unconsciously rising several octaves, as if she was proud of Lin Su's successful performance.
Lin Su walked with elegant steps, listening to Shen Mengchen's enthusiastic praise. She turned her head and glanced at Shen Mengchen's short-sleeved shirt, and said in a calm tone, "Maybe you feel cold because you are wearing short sleeves today, which is why you have this goosebumps."
"No, no!" Shen Mengchen's smile froze for a moment. She waved her hands frantically, looking embarrassed, and hurriedly explained, "The studio is heated! And I've been so excited ever since you stepped onto the stage, and that feeling of excitement hasn't gone down yet."
"Is that so?" Lin Su replied calmly and indifferently.
Watching this amusing segment on television, Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He thought to himself that, for Shen Mengchen, Lin Su's calm and composed response at that moment was probably more chilling than the cold wind of winter.
Soon, the scene shifted back to the stage.
With a serious expression, Hu Haiquan held the microphone and said slowly, "I believe that the other singers waiting to take the stage are inevitably feeling a lot of pressure."
Although he did not directly praise Lin Su's singing, his high regard for her was evident in his words.
The camera instantly cuts to the quiet elevator lobby.
Chen Yufan was dressed in a sharp suit. At this moment, he looked serious, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed his undisguised tension. He was humming a fragment of the song "Looking Back" that he was performing in the competition.
According to the previous draw results, the Yuquan duo was the second to take the stage in this competition.
Since Hu Haiquan was still guest-hosting on stage, Chen Yufan was the only person in the elevator, and the camera clearly captured his every move.
He hummed a tune while glancing nervously around, his fingers unconsciously rubbing back and forth along the seam of his trousers, revealing his inner unease.
In the living room, Ji Meng kept her eyes glued to the television screen.
Seeing Chen Yufan's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but laugh. She gently put her hand on Lin Yourong's shoulder and said half-jokingly, "As expected of you, Rongrong! You're amazing! Look at how much pressure you've put on the people going on stage after you. Chen Yufan's expression shows his heart is in his throat!"
Lin Yourong gently patted Ji Meng's hand, her eyes smiling, and said reproachfully, "Don't talk nonsense. This is a highly professional competition stage. Everyone is standing under the spotlight, facing countless audience members. It's hard not to be nervous. It has little to do with me."
"Right?" Ji Meng mimicked Lin Su's response to Shen Mengchen on TV, deliberately drawing out her words and replying in a nonchalant tone.
Hearing their conversation, Zhang Ye smiled and turned to his mother-in-law, half-jokingly saying, "Sister Fang, your young couple are quite humble and low-key."
"Being humble and composed is a good thing." The mother-in-law smiled gently and looked at Lin Yourong with loving eyes.
As time slowly passed, the minute hand on the wall clock quietly moved, and before we knew it, it was eleven o'clock.
Lin Zhixuan, who made a grand finale appearance, ignited the atmosphere with his cover of Celine Dion's "I Surrender," titled "Never Left," delivering a visual and auditory feast for the audience.
Zhang Ye picked up the tea that had long since gone cold, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Lin Zhixuan's basic skills are quite solid. The second-highest register has always been the most difficult register for male voices to master. This song is filled with dense high notes for several minutes, and it keeps hovering in the vocal break, with almost no time to rest. His breath control and lung capacity are both excellent."
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this song very difficult?"
“In terms of pitch, the whole song doesn’t have any particularly high notes, and a single section wouldn’t be difficult to sing. But the challenge lies in maintaining a mid-high range throughout the entire song, which places very high demands on the singer’s abilities,” Zhang Ye patiently explained.
Old Lin took off his black-rimmed glasses, rubbed his sore eyes, yawned, but smiled and joked, "No wonder you're an expert! Your analysis is so insightful. Unlike us, all we can say after listening is 'It's nice!'"
Zhang Ye chuckled softly, then turned to Lin Yourong and asked, "Lin Zhixuan won first place this time, right?"
"Yes." Lin Yourong nodded slightly, her expression calm.
Yu Huan laughed and continued, "He played his trump card right from the start. Rongrong's loss in this round wasn't unjustified. But we only managed to play four Aces at most. There are still many rounds to go in the competition, so let's take it slow."
Ji Meng crossed her arms, her brows furrowed slightly, and her face showed a hint of indignation on behalf of Lin Yourong.
"To be honest, compared to Lin Zhixuan's 'Never Left,' I still think Rongrong's 'Time Thief' is better. It's more emotional and has a better story. Many audience members were moved to tears. With so many people showing their true feelings, it's impossible that the show's producers hired people to do it!"
After listening, Yu Huan pondered for a moment and then said in a calm tone, "What kind of music you like is actually a very subjective thing. Some people like the grand and majestic style of 'Never Left,' while others prefer the delicate and warm style of 'Time Thief.' Moreover, Rongrong was the first to go on stage and sang a ballad, so she was indeed at a disadvantage in this situation."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye nodded in agreement: "Xiao Yu is absolutely right. The competition is still long, and You Rong will have many more opportunities in the future." (End of Chapter)
