"No, what is this situation? Our show is going to be cursed to death today?"
The general director of "Weekly Good Songs" broke out in a cold sweat, looking at the situation on stage.
After all, their show had always been known for its fairness, but they never expected Hua Cheng Yu to be so willful.
If this continued, their show would be criticized relentlessly, and in severe cases, it might even be suspended by the station.
But today was a live broadcast, and they couldn't make any overly obvious moves. They could only adapt to the situation.
The general director was also praying in his heart that Hua Cheng Yu wouldn't do anything more outrageous. He already regretted temporarily inviting Hua Cheng Yu to be a judge.
On stage, Wang Shu continued to sing passionately into the microphone.
"Fragile,
Proud,
That was once me."
...
Wang Shu was unfazed by Hua Cheng Yu's elimination decision.
Every time he stepped onto the stage, he had only one belief.
That was to finish singing the song for the audience.
In his past life, he died on stage.
If he had a choice in this life, he would also choose to die on stage.
He continued to hold his guitar, performing his song "The Ordinary Road" with his best effort.
"Boiling,
Restless,
Where are you going, via via?"
...
Perfect vocals, a voice full of emotion, paired with thought-provoking lyrics.
A few simple lines of singing had already captivated the audience in the hall.
The slow, lyrical rhythm blended with his clear voice and hushed singing, filling the song with a subtle warmth and melancholy.
"Enigmatic,
Silent,
Are you truly listening to the story?"
...
"I have crossed mountains and seas,
And traversed crowds of people.
I once possessed everything,
Which vanished like smoke in a blink.
I once felt lost, disappointed, and directionless,
Until I saw that ordinariness was the only answer."
After a section of singing, the song directly entered its climax.
The sudden chorus was like someone who had been suppressed for a long time, crying out in despair at life.
Instantly, the audience's hair stood on end.
"This song made me cry. As we grow older, we realize we're just ordinary people!"
"We think we're just living ordinarily, but in reality, we're living mundanely, still a million miles away from being ordinary!"
"I'm in my final year of high school. After listening to this song, I will work hard and diligently. Even if I'm ordinary, I will cross mountains and seas!"
At this moment, the viewers in the live broadcast were moved by Wang Shu's song and were expressing their thoughts in the bullet comments.
On the scene, the audience was intently watching the young man on stage. At this moment, he seemed like a shining superstar.
"What kind of monster is this kid? These lyrics, this melody, it's simply ingenious!"
He Yue's admiration for Wang Shu, who was singing passionately on stage, grew exponentially.
In less than two days, Wang Shu's talent had completely convinced her.
In her eyes, Wang Shu was a divinely gifted genius creator.
Any song Wang Shu casually wrote was a height that others could hardly reach in a lifetime.
"This contestant's strength is remarkable. Not only is his singing good, but his lyrics and composition are also astonishing. My role as a judge is worthwhile this time!"
Qin Feng said excitedly to He Yue, feeling that the contestant on stage was to his liking.
At least this song resonated with him, and he genuinely admired the person who wrote it from the bottom of his heart.
Although he was known as the King of Rock, he didn't arbitrarily believe that rock was superior and other genres were inferior.
Behind the stage, the contestants who were waiting to perform originally disdained to pay attention to Wang Shu.
But when they saw the audience's excited expressions, they couldn't help but shift their gaze to the stage.
"This kid is so strong!"
"Damn it, we were tricked. I thought he was just a nobody who barged in, so we voted for him to go first."
"With such a explosive start, we'll be under a lot of pressure later!"
"It's our fault too. Who told us we wanted to see him make a fool of himself? Now we just have to accept our fate?"
The waiting contestants backstage could only sigh as they watched Wang Shu's performance.
Originally, the order of performance was determined by mutual voting, and the order was decided by the number of votes.
They had originally planned to vote for Wang Shu to go first, to break the ice and then laugh at him.
But unexpectedly, instead of seeing a joke, they got a hot potato.
Wang Shu's performance had already ignited the enthusiasm of the entire venue. If they didn't have enough talent, they would only cause the atmosphere to cool down again.
At that point, they would be the ones embarrassed.
Tian Fen, who had been sitting in the corner, stared blankly at Wang Shu singing on stage.
The current Wang Shu had shattered his perception of him.
He originally thought that the person he saw on TV at Jin Wei Ju that day was just someone who looked very much like Wang Shu.
But now he was sure: the person on TV that day was Wang Shu.
Recalling what he had said to Wang Shu earlier, he felt his face burning with shame.
He was incapable, yet he tried to show off in front of Wang Shu!
The more Tian Fen thought about it, the more regret he felt. When Wang Shu came down, he had to try and mend their relationship.
With their relationship as old classmates, it shouldn't be a problem for Wang Shu to write a song for him.
Thinking of this, Tian Fen felt less uncomfortable. He stood up and pointed at Wang Shu on stage, saying:
"This is my classmate. We were in the same class in college!"
The other contestants backstage looked at him as if he were an idiot.
When Wang Shu was being ridiculed earlier, why didn't he stand up and say that this was his classmate?
"I have crossed mountains and seas,
And traversed crowds of people.
I have asked the whole world,
And never received an answer..."
As the song was sung for the second time, the audience couldn't help but wave their glow sticks.
Even Hua Cheng Yu's fans were now holding up their light boards and glow sticks, waving them to the rhythm.
On the judges' panel, seeing his fans now cheering for Wang Shu, Hua Cheng Yu's expression immediately turned grim.
This was outrageous! A nameless newcomer actually wanted to steal his fans?
"You sang terribly. I am extremely disappointed. To hear such an ordinary song on this stage! To put it bluntly, you wasted five minutes of my time!"
As the song ended and Wang Shu prepared to put down his guitar,
Hua Cheng Yu impatiently picked up the microphone and said to Wang Shu.
