Chapter 157 Taking the Stage to Sing
Host Stanley Chi returned to the stage.
"That was truly a feast for the eyes and ears. Let's give another round of applause to singer Tan Zhuoran."
"The next singer to appear is affectionately known by fans as a treasure music producer who has emerged out of nowhere in recent years. Every piece he makes is a masterpiece, and within a year, he has risen from a junior composer to the position of 'music master.' Please welcome him to perform his original song 'Red Sun.' Let's give him a round of applause."
"No, Ms. Ji, have you forgotten something? You didn't even say her name. Are you making us guess?"
"Let me see who it is!"
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"Move aside the comments, let me see."
......
Backstage lounge.
The seven singers who finished their songs have been speculating about who replaced them.
They also made many guesses.
Suddenly the stage lights dimmed, and a sound came from afar, followed by the sound of a red high heel walking onto the stage.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this person was a woman.
The camera slowly pans up, and a blurry, indistinct figure walks onto the stage from the backstage aisle. The lights are dim, making it impossible for the audience to tell who it is.
At this moment, the people closest to the stage seemed to have recognized who the singer was, showing a very surprised expression and making an "Oh" sound, which made many people who did not see the singer sigh.
The singers backstage were also speculating.
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the viewers on the screen, it must be a very famous person.
"Judging from her back view, she must be a very beautiful and pretty girl. She has a perfect figure, and her hair is waist-length with slightly curled ends. Although I can't see her face clearly, I feel that she must be a very charming girl," said Zhou Yan, a veteran Hong Kong singer, expressing her guess about the girl on the screen.
Immediately afterwards, music started, the stage lights quickly converged, and the appearance of the person who had arrived appeared on the screen.
When Ling Xia's face appeared on the screen, everyone, whether they knew her or not, was stunned by her stunning beauty and exclaimed in surprise, creating a lively atmosphere.
When Zhou Shen looked at Ling Xia singing through the screen, his head buzzed and he exclaimed in surprise, "Ling Xia?" He hadn't mentioned her when he met her earlier.
On second thought, it's possible that Ling Xia appeared just as the singer had her accident, and Director Hongbo happened to run into Ling Xia and asked her for help, which fits the current situation perfectly.
If Ling Xia's identity as a singer is surprising, then her father's identity as a composer will make singers wary.
When veteran singer Zhou Yan heard Zhou Shensheng say this, she repeated it, feeling like she had heard the name before, and asked, "Um, you know who she is, right?"
Zhou Shengsheng nodded vigorously, "Yes, I know her. She's my good friend. Her name is Ningxia. She was just chatting with me backstage. We made plans to go somewhere tomorrow." Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared on the screen.
Zhou Shensheng further introduced Ling Xia to the other singers.
"She is an extremely talented music producer. You know, she produced the theme song for the movie Infernal Affairs that was very famous a few months ago."
Zhou Yan opened her mouth wide, "Oh, right, right, right, I've heard Andy Lau mention her before, so it's her, I remember now."
I was originally thinking of collaborating sometime, but I didn't expect to meet at this concert. This is a perfect opportunity to discuss music together.
Ling Xia appears young, but it is precisely because of her youth and her exceptional composing skills that she is valued by many singers. This means she has a great potential for future development, and smart people will want to befriend her.
......
The intro to the song began.
The voice was particularly cheerful, and Xia was amazed by the song's vocal transitions.
This one sentence immediately raised the audience's expectations for Ling Xia's upcoming performance.
A good singer is judged by how well they can transition between notes; anyone with musical literacy can immediately tell if they have a good ear for music.
The music continued to play.
Even if fate brings hardship and wandering...
Even if fate is full of twists and turns
Even if fate threatens you with the idea that life is meaningless.
Don't shed tears of sorrow, and don't give up.
I wish I could be with you forever.
The first five lines immediately drew the audience to a climax. The authentic Cantonese pronunciation and thought-provoking lyrics brought the audience's enthusiasm to a peak.
The audience watching on screen went crazy.
"Oh my god, what did I just see? Sure enough, the last singer to perform was definitely worth the wait."
"Her Cantonese pronunciation is so standard. Is she really not from Hong Kong? I feel like she is from Hunan. Her pronunciation is more standard than mine, a local Hong Konger."
"This song is really good, it's an original, she's so talented."
"She's a musical genius. I know her. Her name is Ling Xia. She debuted as an actress. I never expected her to sing so well. She's already reached the top."
"Hmm, I suspect that being a singer is your main profession, and acting is just a side job, right?"
"What's going on? I actually saw Zai Zai at the concert! Wasn't he filming a movie? Why is he singing?"
......
The seven singers watching the performance backstage were all stunned as they stared at the beautiful woman on the screen. Good heavens, her Cantonese accent was so authentic, and the lyrics were so well written. No wonder she's a songwriter; she's such a talented writer.
"I'll definitely ask her to write a song for me. I love this song, 'Red Sun,' so much!" Zhou Yan said with delight, watching Ling Xia singing on the screen.
......
The director of Hunan TV smiled and turned to the leaders in Hong Kong, saying, "These singers sang exceptionally well."
Hong Kong leader: ... Don't think I don't know you're mimicking my speech.
Ji Li was stunned by Ning Xia's amazing singing ability. He never expected Ning Xia to sing so well. The camera specifically panned to him and the very excited audience.
The singing suddenly became tender.
