After the song, there was a flood of applause.

Xi Jia’s original work, “Uninhabited Island,” is undoubtedly the biggest highlight since the opening of the competition in Bihai singing area tonight. The top 10 champion faced the formidable opponent, revealed her trump card, and won a resounding victory.

A unique voice, powerful singing, catchy lyrics, coupled with bright and lively melody…

Accompanied by the enthusiastic live band, the new song seemed to be like a sudden rainstorm on an island on a summer night, conquering the 5,000 audiences at the scene.

Many of the audience stood up and applauded Xia Jia for giving them a good song.

Xi Jia’s fans held up their fluorescent cards and shouted her name.

The atmosphere of the scene reached a new climax!

Faced with the applause of thousands of audiences, Xi Jia’s chest violently heaved up and down a few times, her white jade face flushed with excitement, and the corners of her eyes were a little sparkling.

She held her electric guitar and bowed deeply to the supportive audience.

Then she turned around and thanked the live band.

When she straightened up again, there were two lines of tears on her face, but she still smiled, a smile of joy.

Among the four judges, Chen Fei’er stood up and applauded for her.

After sitting down, the Queen of Sweet Song smiled and asked, “That was so good, Xi Jia. I remember you were covering other people’s songs in the previous competition. Why did you come up with this original work tonight?”

Xi Jia wiped her tears and said with a little embarrassment, “I’ve been writing this song for a long time, and I haven’t had the right opportunity to sing it to others, but tonight is different.”

After a pause, she continued, “Tonight is the competition in the Bihai singing area. I just want to use this song to express my love for my hometown and thank all my fans and audience for their support!”

“Thank you everyone!”

The applause that had just stopped broke out again.

Chen Fei’er encouraged, “Well said. I’ll give you 10 points!”

She pressed the scoreboard and added 10 points to Xi Jia.

In the warm applause, Xi Jia bowed again: “Thank you, Teacher Chen.”

Then Tan Hong, Lin Zhijie and Zhen Zhen respectively commented, and give her the score 9, 9 and 10 points!

All four are added together. Xi Jia’s total judges’ score is 38, which is also the highest judges’ score since the start of the competition.

The whole audience burst into thunderous applause.

This song “Uninhabited Island” is a typical fast paced song, which is very suitable for the taste of young people nowadays.

It has a unique lyrics and melody, and If it is packaged and promoted, it will have no problem being on the original music list. There may be a chance to rush to the top ten position.

But it’s not as good as a classic, because this song lacks enough connotation. Only under the near-perfect interpretation of Xi Jia that it has won such a high judges’ score.

Of course, originality is a plus, and the power of singing is also indispensable. After all, “Singing China” is not “Super Singer,” so Xi Jia’s performance is still the key to scoring.

She won such a high judges’ score, invisibly putting a lot of pressure on Lu Chen who will come out later.

Especially since Xi Jia had relied on an original work.

To the tournament, the four judges’ score are much higher on the criteria, so they can’t easily give out full scores.

Even Lu Chen, the judges gave him a total score of 36 and 37 in the previous two competition, just higher than his opponents.

Now Xi Jia got 38 points, and she also occupies the home court advantage. The threat to Lu Chen is naturally great.

This threat and pressure were reflected to the [Whale TV] live broadcast room, and Lu Chen fans couldn’t calm down.

“Xi Jia is really good. Even though I’m the anchor’s fan, I have to say that this song is good.”

“It was very pleasant to hear. Chen Fei’er gave her a score of 10.”

“What if by some chance?”

“What?! I really gave it to you guys. Great Lu Fei has never met a fierce opponent.”

“In any case, General Lu will win!”

“If the anchor loses, Laozi will eat this keyboard live!”

“Chocolate keyboard?”

“Bah bah, be careful of your crow’s mouth, I believe in Great Lu Fei and he will win!” (TN: crow mouth is like “don’t jinx it”)

“Supporting the anchor…”

Amid the discussion, Li Bai, the number one fan of Lu Fei’s live broadcast room, suddenly send out five aircraft carriers in a row.

After shocking the audience with that great move, he said coolly: “General Lu will win, there is no need to doubt. After he wins this tournament, everyone should come to the group to grab red envelopes!”

The live broadcast room was immediately flooded with flattery.

It’s different when a local tyrant makes a move, it instantly suppressed all the noise.

At the scene of the competition, after the four judges had given their scores, Xi Jia temporarily went down the stage and will be replaced by Lu Chen.

The rules of the tournament are different from those of the promotion competition in the singing area. In addition to the judges’ scores, the votes of the audiences on and off the site will be announced at the same time. Of course, the counting time of the two contestants is exactly the same.

Lu Chen took his guitar and walked onto the stage again.

“Hello, four judges and teacher. Hello, audience at the scene and in front of the TV. Hello, everyone!”

“I am Lu Chen!”

After that, he bowed.

The audience at the scene was still very respectful and applauded warmly, but it could not be compared with the previous one.

There are two female fans sitting in the front seat, shaking their fluorescent cards in their hands.

The two cute characters “Lu Chen” above are very eye-catching.

“Hello…”

Tan Hong nodded. He smiled and asked, “Lu Chen, everyone is looking forward to your performance tonight. The previous contestant Xi Jia scored 38 points. Do you feel the pressure?”

Since appearing in “Singing China”, Tan Hong has become a well-deserved chief judge with his rigorous style and professional judgment. Some people on the Internet say he is too strict with the singers, but no one said he was unfair in scoring.

He doesn’t like to interact with the contestants very much, but he talks more about music.

Such routine inquiries have hardly ever appeared before.

It must be because it’s Lu Chen.

Lu Chen calmly replied: “There’s definitely some pressure. Xi Jia’s performance is too good. Her work is really great. If I have a choice, I hope not to compete with her.”

“Um. Let’s be good friends!”

There were bursts of laughter and applause in the stadium.

Lu Chen’s answer is undoubtedly very modest and humorous, making people have a favorable impression.

The live feed was in instantly switched over, focusing on Xi Jia, who was standing in the waiting area.

Lu Chen’s words made her smile. She saw the camera sweep over, and she raised her hand to make a victory sign.

Chen Fei’er smiled and said, “If you two really become good friends, for the sake of friendship, are you willing to give her the place to be promoted to the top 10 in the country?”

The Queen of Sweet Song blinked, her eyes flashing with cunning light.

This question…

Lu Chen is a little speechless. When did “Singing China” become a “witty response” program?

But he reacted quickly, and after a little consideration, he said, “I think true friendship is based on mutual respect and understanding. Friendship has nothing to do with interest, identity or status.”

“So I don’t think contestant Xi Jia will accept the spot I gave her. She will want to win the right way!”

As soon as Lu Chen’s voice fell, the whole audience applauded again, more enthusiastic and sincere than before.

For his wonderful answer.

Xi Jia bit her lip, her eyes bright.

Chen Fei’er smiled and said, “Well said. Let’s start your performance. I’m looking forward to it!”

It’s not just her that is looking forward to it, but the viewers sitting in front of televisions and computers, and the hundreds of thousands of fans in the webcast, were looking forward to Lu Chen’s performance tonight.

What kind of works will he use to meet the challenge of a powerful opponent?

Standing in front of the microphone with his guitar in his arms, Lu Chen was calm.

After so many fights, he has been really honed out, and he will not have stage fright in the face of any big stage.

But at this moment, his heart was not calm.

It was just for a mere moment, but Lu Chen thought a lot. A lot of the past events flashed in his mind.

He thought of the dark years he had gone through. He thought of his depression after his father’s death. He thought of the hardship brought by the great changes in his life. He thought of the pain and the heartbreak after his girlfriend broke up with him.

He remembered the days of being a Beijing drifter, and in order to earn more money, he worked so hard that he lived like a walking corpse.

He remembered being banned at the StarryLive and being suppressed for refusing to sign a contract…

He has not forgotten that he was attacked and even slandered on the Internet twice!

Although Lu Chen has broken through all the difficulties and dangers along the way, although all the troubles have been solved, he has not yet spoken his mind and has not issued his own counterattack.

Anger, has long been accumulated in his heart, just waiting to explode!

And here is the best stage.

Lu Chen raised his chest, and a flame was lit in his eyes.

He clasped his guitar in his arms, then turned around and gave a thumbs-up to the live band.

It’s time to start.

Let the whole world listen to my voice!

The name of this song is “Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart”!

“Where is the world full of flowers,

If it does exist then I will definitely go,

I want to stand on the highest mountain there,

It doesn’t matter if it is a cliff!

To live better and love deeply no matter what it takes,

I do right by myself rather than to seek other’s satisfaction,

I never choose to give up my dream,

Even in my darkest days.

Maybe I have no talent,

But I have a pure dream,

I’ll prove it with my life.

Maybe I’m a little more clumsy,

But I will keep exploring,

To stake my youth without any regrets!

To run forward against the cold shoulders and the jeering crowds!

If we didn’t go through all kinds of hardships and difficulties, how can we feel this wonderful life,

Fate can’t make us kneel and beg for mercy,

Even if blood is spilled all over my bosom!

To keep running with the pride of childlike simplicity,

If we didn’t persist to the end, how can we see the glory of the life,

It is better to burn heartily than to linger on,

One day it will sprout again!
