Zhang Yang and Yang Wenxuan are in the fifth group, which is the finale of Ling Ran's group.

In the first group, Lin Guoer faced a girl with a lazy voice, won the battle, and powerfully fought back the saying "cute is vulnerable to the face of sexy"

But this is probably related to Ling Ran being a female tutor.

Zhang Yang also paid attention to the showdown between the second and third groups, but the one he attached the most was the fourth group.

There are not many songs from Zhang Yang, and he can save one song. He must compete for the golden seat in the second round of knockout matches. His most powerful competitor is in the fourth group, a girl named Shangguan Qiyu.

She is a student of the Beijing Conservatory of Music. She has a beautiful appearance, a pure voice and excellent singing skills. When she was blindly selected, she amazed the audience with a song "Red Dust" by Lin Suyuan. Before "Sunny Day", she always dominated the top spot in the "Summer League".

After "Sunny Day" reached the top, it also ranked second.

Zhang Yang didn't have much direct dealings with Shangguan Qiyu, and basically just greeted him when he met him. However, with some observations, it can be judged that she was from a good background, very well-educated, a little cunning, and a little sleek in dealing with people and things. She is the best among the twelve people in the same group.

The student who faced her was named Shi Jianjun, a folk song uncle in his thirties, with a solid voice, equally popular and excellent strength, which made many people very puzzled by Ling Ran's first round knockout round to arrange these two people together.

However, the showdown is naturally good, and the only shame is that Zhang Yang and the others are in the background and cannot directly see the live performance.

The result was not expected. Shangguan Qiyu was better, Shi Jianjun was eliminated, and Zhang Yang faintly heard Ling Ran's farewell words in the background, and he felt quite apologetic and reluctant to leave.

Shangguan Qiyu won, but there was not much surprise. Instead, she felt a little sad in her indifference. When she spoke, she recalled the details of her practice during this period and did not forget to thank Shi Jianjun for her help.

From the sidelines, he is beautiful and has a good personality, and is very popular.

Then Zhang Yang and Yang Wenxuan appeared.

The two walked onto the stage side by side for a distance, and greeted the tutor and the audience as usual. Then the host Yingzi asked Ling Ran about the consideration of splitting the two into the same group.

Ling Ran replied: "I just wanted to watch the showdown between Shangguan Qiyu and Shi Jianjun, and this group is actually a two-person with a relatively large contrast. Yang Wenxuan has experienced many ups and downs in order to pursue his musical dream. Zhang Yang is the genius we talk about. Whether in study or music, he is a genius."

"This experience reflects that their style is completely different, but in music and on this stage, they are equal and fair. I want to see what kind of showdown will be between the two of them, and I am very looking forward to it."

Zhang Yang and Yang Wenxuan bowed their gratitude again to express their gratitude to the mentor.

Yingzi said: "Okay, I won't say much. We look forward to the wonderful singing of the two students. First of all, please invite Zhang Yang to bring us his singing songs."

Yang Wenxuan smiled and said cheering, retreated to a corner of the stage, and Zhang Yang stepped forward and came to the center of the stage.

In the dim light.

The big screen in front of the stage slowly lit up, with a painting of ink and wash, with dim morning light, trees, birds singing, and small bridges looming.

The sound of the guzheng is like the gurgling water in the stream under the bridge, perfectly containing the pipa and electric piano that came in later. The string melody and hiphop drum beats are natural. In the soothing ancient Chinese charm, there seems to be a faint sorrow quietly permeating.

The lights light up slowly.

In the ink painting behind me, someone sat up from his sleep and looked through the window at the small bridge and flowing water in the morning light.

"The window is clear at dawn, the sun shines on the West Bridge, the clouds shake, I miss the corner of your clothes that the lotus wind swayed back then"

A low voice sounded, and the familiar singing style was still there. A faint sorrow enveloped the entire recording hall with the singing. The whole audience was silent, and even the soft light seemed to flow out a faint sad melody.

"The wood carving is gilded, the years are rippling, and the pen is sealed seven years ago, because I only write for you in this life."

"The rain wets my eyes, and I lean on the well every year and look forward to returning to the hall."

"I am most afraid that I have wet my tears."

...

Since it is an original song and the lyrics are complicated, I am worried that everyone is not familiar with it and it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect. Xia Hai refused to say that he asked someone to work overtime to make the video, and not only attached it to the subtitles.

In this way, even if it is the first time you listen, everyone can hear each lyrics clearly with the subtitles. The meaning of the lyrics and the voices are blended to ensure the transmission of emotions to the greatest extent, and the singing effect is naturally very different.

Even if many of the words and sentences are difficult for many people to fully understand their meanings at the first time, the remembrance, longing, and sadness in the song can be clearly felt.

"It's on the Qingming Rain again, and the chrysanthemums are sent to you."

"Sing your favorite song gently"

The last note stopped, and the scene was still silent. After Zhang Yang bowed his body to greet him, sparse applause rang out, and then it spread rapidly. The audience of three or four hundred people forced a four-digit momentum.

Tong Wan said: "Wait, wait, don't talk for now, let me slow down, I'm a little confused..."

Lu Yuan, Ling Ran and Xiao Jingyu both laughed, and Wang Chuxi also said, "It's true that you sing well, and you're writing well... Did you write this yourself?"

Zhang Yang replied: "Yes."

Wang Chuxi gave a thumbs up, "Your mentor is right, you are a genius."

Zhang Yang owed her body and said, "I dare not, you have overrepresented."

Tong Wan asked: "Your previous two songs were about campus and love, but this song completely changed its style, as if it was about mourning, about Qingming Festival, right?"

"yes."

Lu Yuan took over the conversation and said, "Is there any story? Why did he write this song?"

"This song is actually written from my grandfather's perspective, I miss my grandmother."

Zhang Yang has pondered this statement many times and said softly: "My grandfather was a martial arts writer. Seven years ago, my grandfather stopped writing. My grandfather loved flowers very much during his lifetime. He still had half an acre of flower fields at home. Every year during the Qingming Festival, my grandfather would fold flowers with yellow paper to worship, which made this song come into being."

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment and continued, "And today, uh, means today recorded, which happened to be my grandfather's birthday. When we go forward, we will go to my grandfather's house for dinner. There is no way to go here this year, so I chose this song, which is a small gift."

Although Zhang Yang did not deliberately conceal the identity of the old man, he rarely talked about it on his own initiative. In the media reports these days, his family only said that his parents were teachers and scholarly families, so he did not go up and checked it up.

Except for Xia Hai and Ling Ran, everyone present was the first time they heard this. They couldn't help but be surprised. Ling Ran smiled and said, "This gift is not small."

Xiao Jingyu asked, "Well, I want to ask, your grandfather is a martial arts writer...what is the pen name? Is it convenient to say?"

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment before saying: "Luo Shengyong."

Many viewers in the audience immediately showed a sudden look when they heard the name. Several mentors also said "Oh" and were a little surprised. Ling Ran helped introduce: "You should be familiar with this name, one of the four martial arts masters in that year."

Tong Wan said: "Yes, yes, I was his fan of the book back then, and my dad, really... When your grandfather finished writing, my dad felt sorry for a long time."

Lu Yuan also said: "This is the origin of family education."

Wang Chuxi said: "Your grandfather was our generation back then, including our elders, and our common memories. You will now become the memories of your era and a whole generation. With these three songs you wrote, I am very optimistic about you, come on!"

The audience spontaneously applauded, and Zhang Yang bowed to thank him again.

Several mentors chatted for a while, and Lu Yuan asked again: "The contrast between your song and the first two songs is quite large. It should be considered Chinese style. In fact, I have heard all three songs of you, and the styles are all different. Do you have any considerations?"

China in this world is also deeply influenced by Western culture, but there have always been people who are committed to the inheritance and development of traditional culture. The concept of Chinese style has appeared at this time and was proposed by Wang Qingyuan, a well-known "Heavenly Mentor" in the industry.

The reason why he is called the "Tian King Mentor" is because he has six disciples in total, five of whom are the queen-level figures of the Heavenly Kings. Lu Yuan is one of them. He has also tried several Chinese songs and gave up after that.

Now only Wang Qingyuan’s closed disciple Lin Suyuan has always insisted on Chinese-style songs, but the results are not very obvious.

Zhang Yang said: "I like Chinese-style songs very much and ethnic instruments very much, so there are many ethnic instruments added to this song, which is a kind of attempt. Mentor Ling Ran and Teacher Xia Hai both gave me a lot of guidance and help."

Ling Ran picked up the microphone and said, "I have to talk about it here. Xia Hai and I did help in this song, but it was like helping to order two nails in a building, which was insignificant."

She glanced at Zhang Yang and said sincerely: "This is the most talented person I have ever met, no, all the songs of all styles can be easily picked up."

She paused and continued: "My words may sound a bit exaggerated now, but I believe in time. No matter how far Zhang Yang goes on the stage of "Summer League", time will prove that gold will shine as it deserves sooner or later!"

Applause was sensational.

Lu Yuan said: "No exaggeration, no exaggeration, I agree with this sentence very much!"

Zhang Yang continued to bow and thank him.

Then Yang Wenxuan sang.

Logically speaking, after Zhang Yang's singing just now, especially the praise from several mentors, he should have been under greater pressure, but when Zhang Yang passed by him, he could clearly feel that his mentality seemed to be more relaxed.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Come on." It's not a false opinion. I really hope that he will perform better and gain a little favorability before leaving. This will undoubtedly make the situation much better in the future.

"I have been confused again and again, where is the way ahead?"

"I hope again and again that there is light in the night"

The low male voice is a bit vicissitudes. This is probably Yang Wenxuan’s real psychological journey for many years. At this time, he gave a try without any scruples and was completely immersed in this song called "After Despair". His emotions were suppressed to the extreme, giving people a sense of depression that a volcano was about to erupt.

Sure enough, the thick and desolate voice began to burst out in the next lyrics, making everyone present, including Zhang Yang, feel a faint touch:

"I have been disappointed again and again, there is no light in the night."

The last word ending continued to rise, and the energy accumulated in depression seemed to tear a hole in the thing that was imprisoning it. As it gradually vented, the hole became bigger and bigger, and the energy and emotions burst out were like floods breaking through the dam, and finally poured out overwhelming.

"I used to see no light in despair."

"I once had to smile and say it's okay, the road is ahead"

"I once told myself that life is strong alone in despair."

...

After the grouping results came out, almost no one, including the audience who liked Yang Wenxuan, was optimistic that he could advance, and elimination was the fate he could see next.

But after singing this song, Zhang Yang could clearly feel it and shook it.

When the four mentors gave suggestions, Wang Chuxi was the first to speak, which shocked Zhang Yang: "To be honest, I still like Zhang Yang, but this time, I suggest Ling Ran choose Yang Wenxuan."

"Because Yang Wenxuan needs more affirmation, and in comparison, for Zhang Yang, a small setback may further promote his growth."

Then there is Tong Wan: "I don't agree with this statement. We are not allocating it on demand. To be honest, Yang Wenxuan's performance made me admire him. He has the ability to advance, but I still stick to my original intention. Zhang Yang is better. I still recommend choosing Zhang Yang."

Lu Yuan also voted the "suggested vote" to Zhang Yang.

Xiao Jingyu voted for Yang Wenxuan, with the reason: "Yangyang is amazing, and Yang Wenxuan touched the soul."
