Beijing Satellite TV T1 Studio, “Singing China” National Final.

The new studio, which opened just half a month ago, occupies the entire floor of the new satellite TV building. It is not only fully equipped with advanced facilities, but it is also on a large scale among all the satellite TV stations in the country.

It can accommodate 3,000 live spectators at the same time, with a total stage area of 3,500 square meters. Its interior decoration is grand and spacious, demonstrating the ambition of Beijing Satellite TV!

At 6:30, the studio was already packed and all the on-site staff were in place.

Tonight is “Singing China” last competition, and it is also the top 10 competition.

Different from the Xiangnan Satellite TV’s “Super Singer”, Beijing Satellite TV’s “Singing China” has only one national competition. The really wonderful part of it is actually the competition of six singing areas, which is completely in line with the program theme of “Life on A String” and “Singing China”. (TN: The Chinese characters of “Life on A String” can also be translated as “Singing While Walking”, which they did, they travel around the country and sing.)

But this final competition still attracted the attention of countless spectators and fans!

Who can win the highest crown? Who can win the grand prize of 5 million yuan? Who can be the brightest star tonight?

All the answers are about to be revealed!

T1 Studio backstage, the top ten singers of “Singing China” are waiting.

As a set-up of the studio hall, the backstage is sufficiently magnificent and luxurious to accommodate hundreds of performers and staff without the slightest problem, but the 10 contestants simply can’t sit down at all.

Even if they are accompanied by family and friends.

Everyone tacitly kept their distance. No one talked loudly or laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was tense with silence.

This competition is so important that it will affect everyone’s future to a great extent.

Whether they successfully embark on the path of a star, or this will just be short-live moment has been noticed by thousands of people, which has never been seen since. It depends on their performance tonight.

Including Lu Chen, all the contestants are waiting eagerly!

None of them want to lose!

By contrast, Lu Chen is the most relaxed.

He also has family and friends around him. Besides Lu Xi and Chen Xin, Qin Hanyang and the four members of the Wandering band, as well as Sister Na and Chen Jianhao have come. The lineup is quite strong!

It was still a while before he appeared. Lu Chen leaned back in a soft chair that smelled of new leather, staring at Chen Jianhao and Zhang Nana, opposite him.

More precisely, staring at the hands of the two that are held together, with a particularly deep look.

Sister Na, such an open-minded and frank woman, was also seen blushing, showing a rare shyness.

Chen Jianhao was exasperated. Staring at Lu Chen, he reprimanded, “What are you doing looking at me for? Go and properly make your preparation!”

Everyone else is taking the time to practice warm-up, while Lu Chen is teasing them, staring at him.

What’s there to see? it’s just holding hands!

Lu Chen smiled and said, “Congratulations to both of you. When can we have a wedding drink?”

As soon as this remark came out, even Qin Hanyang and others laughed.

The people that had long been in the Forget Worries Bar all know that Sister Na has liked Chen Jianhao for a long time.

But she was not confident about her appearance, so she never made it clear to the latter, fearing that her friend would not feel the same.

Of course, Chen Jianhao is also clear about this.

He’s always been single, but has are also several confidants, and he has experienced a lot of things, and have a very light view of marriage.

He regards Sister Na as a friend, a good friend.

Until later, Lu Chen wrote a song for Sister Na named “I Want To Have A Home.”

When Sister Na first sang this in the Forget Worries bar, Chen Jianhao listened and was unconsciously touched.

Then last night, everyone gave him a big surprise.

When Sister Na pushed the birthday cake in front of him and wished him a happy birthday in tears…

Chen Jianhao’s heart defense finally completely collapsed!

They have known each other for years, and he suddenly discovered the love that he didn’t believe, was in fact, has been waiting by his side.

Sister Na was so beautiful under the candlelight.

So, Chen Jianhao can only endure Lu Chen’s teasing now, holding Zhang Nana’s hand and not letting go.

Sister Na was very generous. After her shyness, she said calmly, “It’s enough to be together. Marriage is not important…”

“No!”

Chen Jianhao suddenly interrupted her words and said, “On October 1st, National Day, we’ll get married!”

What?

Everyone was stunned – so fast!

Qin Hanyang felt very incredible. He is a true good friend of Chen Jianhao and Sister Na. He hasn’t previously been optimistic about the two people being able to be together, but now they are talking about getting married.

The one that was even more surprised was Sister Na. She was staring dumbfoundedly, unable to speak.

Chen Jianhao looked at her and said with a faint smile, “I’ve already thought about it. Let’s get married, as long as you want to.”

If this is a marriage proposal, it’s really not romantic at all.

Chen Jianhao is not a romantic person either.

But Sister Na was still moved to tears, choking with tears. “I would like to, but I’m afraid that you’ll..”

Chen Jianhao shook his head and clasped her hand. “I won’t regret it!”

Lu Chen, Lu Xi, and Qin Hanyang…

Everyone applauded to offer their blessings. If it wasn’t for the place, perhaps they have already cheer on the spot! (TN: They are in the backstage, so it’s inappropriate for them to make noise)

Nevertheless, it has attracted a lot of attention around.

Chen Jianhao reached out to wipe the tears from Sister Na’s face and said to Lu Chen, “Are you satisfied now? Your sister and I are getting married, and if you don’t win the championship tonight, you are not allowed to come to our wedding reception.”

“I can’t afford to lose then!”

Lu Chen’s smile suddenly turned into a wry smile – the pressure is great!

Everyone couldn’t help laughing, and the atmosphere in the small circle suddenly became very happy.

Lu Chen had to take out his guitar and sit aside to practice.

After nearly two months of hard work, he has traveled over most of China. If he loses the last battle to others, not to mention his relatives, friends and fans, he himself will not be able to accept it.

The entries had long been sent and had been rehearsed with the accompaniment band in strict confidentiality according to the rules. He was confident in himself, but he dared not say the he was 100% sure.

The top 10 National singers in “Singing China” are not necessarily the best of all the contestants. But for them to be able to stand on the stage tonight, none of them are ordinary people.

Just like during the knockout competition in Bihai singing area, Lu Chen’s opponent, Xi Jia, once posed a great threat to him.

No one can be sure that the other nine singers will not come up with a similar trump card!

So, despite Lu Chen’s seemingly calm attitude, but in fact, he’s actually prepared to stand by, not letting himself be too nervous, nor letting himself be too relaxed.

Time passed quickly, and in a twinkling of an eye it was 7: 30.

“Singing China” National Finals officially began!

Compared with the previous competition in the old studio, the final held in the T1 Studio was far more spectacular than the previous one. The grand background display composed of countless LED screen is excellent, with beautiful dancing lights on the screen. It was dazzling to the extreme.

The number of hosts on the scene has increased to two, and their passionate lines easily set off a warm atmosphere.

At the invitation of the two hosts, Tan Hong and Chen Fei’er went on stage and sang their respective famous songs.

Since the Beijing Singing Area qualifying round, the two pop stars have always served as judges. This was the first time they sang on the stage, which undoubtedly gave the live audience and off-site audience a great awakening.

In particular, Tan Hong has been in a state of semi-retirement in recent years, and he does not take on commercial performances, so there are really few opportunities to see him and listen to him sing on the stage.

A Heavenly King is a Heavenly King. A classic old song “End of the World Prodigal Son”, under his emotional interpretation, made the 3,000 audience on the scene so fascinated that they even sang in chorus in the end, which pushed the atmosphere to its climax!

Chen Fei’er did not disappoint either. With her natural voice, she sang the famous song “Sweet Memories”, which made the audience reminisce the good old days.

The two big stars simply stole the show completely!

It’s just that Tan Hong and Chen Fei’er have long enjoyed the glory. The two are completely free from such a spectacle. No matter how much the audience requested, they all returned to the judges’ seats.

Because tonight’s stage belongs to “Singing China” top 10 singers!

The order in which the ten contestants will perform was arranged in advance, and the first one to perform was Mu Xiaochu.

In the last round of the national tournament, Zhang Junhua lost to Lin Meiru, one of the top 10 in Bihai, so she and Lu Chen were the only contestants left from the Beijing singing area.

With her sweet voice and the purity of a girl next door, Mu Xiaochu, though not as good as Lu Chen in “Singing China” competition, she has also overcome one difficulty after another and made her way to the final.

Even her fans couldn’t believe it. They talked about it on blogs, post bars and forums.

It’s all praise, of course.

This final, Mu Xiaochu’s parents came to help, and Lu Chen also went to say hello earlier.

The song she sang in the evening was called “Mountain Lotus”.

“Mountain Lotus” is not a very famous work. The style is biased towards the main melody, and it has a very high requirement for the ability of the singer. If the atmosphere is not in place, the outcome can be bad. Many famous singers dare not try it.

Mu Xiaochu taking out this song means that she has really come to fight!

Lu Chen watched the large screen LCD TV hanging on the wall and secretly worries for her.

However, this soft and delicate girl did not disappoint. She fully displayed her vocal qualities through the song, fully demonstrating her unique talent in singing.

If one has to point out the shortcomings, it is that the high-pitched part is still slightly lacking, which is inferior to the original.

But it’s enough to make people feel shocked.

After she finished singing, the whole audience applauded loudly, and many of the audience stood up and applauded for her.

Lu Chen also stood up.

However, he had just applauded a couple of times when he suddenly saw Lu Xi sitting opposite staring at her cellphone, looking a little strange.

Lu Chen couldn’t help asking, “Sister, what’s the matter?”
