Chapter 184 Tonight is Perfect
pressure?

It's not that big.

As I said, Zhang Xiaorong's personality determines that she doesn't like to pay attention to things other than the stage.

The program team asked her to "use her ultimate move", but what they really asked was Bai Youlou.

To put it bluntly, it can even be described as: Brother, I am here to help you, I kneel down for you, you need to write a cool song for Zhang Xiaorong that can dominate the stage.

Part of the high announcement fee given by the program is used to "buy" Bai Youlou's new songs.

Otherwise, Zhang Xiaorong should just sing whatever she wants and choose the song according to her mood, just like she did when she was on "The Voice of China".

Anyway, there was really a lot of stuff in the "magic bag" that Bai Youlou gave her.

Looking at the unhurried Zhang Xiaorong, Liu Manli found the plot particularly interesting.

The second to last foreign female singer to perform was apparently so relaxed to an exaggerated degree, with no sense of nervousness at all.

People have already started singing Chinese songs~
What’s even more terrifying is that even his singing in Chinese is very good. From the perspectives of timbre, technique, aesthetics and other dimensions, this person is really amazing.

His Chinese was surprisingly standard, the alto at the beginning was quite beautiful, the sound pressure was amazing, the listening experience was more comfortable than the other two, and his facial expression management was also better, he really integrated into the stage completely.

Anyway, although Liu Manli doesn't understand music, from the perspective of an audience member, she thinks that the other person sang very well.

If she were to choose, the foreign female singer who performed second to last would be the current number one.

I couldn't help but take another glance at Zhang Xiaorong who was about to go on stage.

Still looking calm and confident.

Interestingly, Liu Manli observed the expressions of the program staff and found that they were not worried at all.
This immediately made people very curious about what kind of "reassurance" Zhang Xiaorong gave them during the rehearsal.

The stage lights went out and it was pitch black.

Along with the sound of heartbeats, everyone could vaguely see a figure standing in the center of the stage.

Before the lights came on, a clear and melodious piano solo sounded
The prelude is not long and does not suspense the audience too much.

As the brightness of the spotlight gradually increased, Zhang Xiaorong's face became clearer and clearer. She still had a gentle smile on her face, which made many viewers who were worried about her feel relieved.

“What a strong stage presence. He hasn’t even opened his mouth yet.” The big sister, who had a bad performance today and even forgot the lyrics, sighed backstage.

After the previous show, she also watched Zhang Xiaorong's performance on the "Voice of China" stage and found that this girl's stage level had improved visibly.

Later I found out that she was a professional dancer. Although she changed her field, she naturally got familiar with it quickly.

Instead of singing under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the only thing he did was dance.

She still stands center stage.

"I will run I will climb I will soar."

“I’m undefeated”

"."

"Fuck!"

The exclamation of "Fuck" was uttered subconsciously by the big sister.

English song?
A foreign female singer sang a Chinese song, and then Zhang Xiaorong sang an English song?
The reaction of the big sister shows that she really doesn't know what song Zhang Xiaorong chose. The program team has done a very good job of keeping secrets in this regard.

This is the kind of real reaction we want.

However, this time the program team wanted the reaction not from the big sister, but from those foreign singers.

The foreign female singer, who had just finished her performance and was now chatting and reviewing the show with a relaxed look on her face, didn't even look at the broadcast screen in the lounge at first, and was just chatting and laughing with her assistant.

It was not until Zhang Xiaorong opened her mouth that she suddenly turned her head, her eyes widened, and she said, "Amazing!"

"I've never heard this song before!"

“When your dreams come alive you're unstoppable”
“take a shot chase the sun， find the beautiful”

“We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold”
“And we'll dream it possible”

"."

Compared to the reactions of the people on the scene, the reactions of the audience watching the live broadcast were really big!
Because they saw the subtitles that had been prepared long ago.

Song title: "Dream It Possible"

Lyricist: Bai Youlou
Composer: Bai Youlou
In order to increase the audience's sense of involvement and help them understand the emotions of the song, the program team was very considerate and provided Chinese translations under each line.

Foreign singers don’t get this treatment, but no one would find fault with such “favoritism” at this time.

audience:? ? ?
"I'm so convinced! Bai Youlou, ah Bai Youlou, are you serious?!"

"What a trick from our ancestors! I understand. Is this learning from the barbarians to defeat them? This is definitely it!"

"Bai Youlou? Just call me Brother Lou!"

"Sibai Youlou can also write English songs? Is this true?"

"He can write. He wrote the movie theme songs himself. Don't you know that?"

"I'm so strong now. Who said before that Xiaorong could only sing high notes when she came to this show?"

"It's amazing that I won. I really got my face back in this episode~"

"I've already gone to Bai Youlou's Weibo comment section, and I'm going to give him a few more knocks to see what other treasures he has."

"Shake this Bai Youlou and he will randomly drop an item for you."

"."

Although Zhang Xiaorong did not use any particularly high notes to dominate the performance tonight, she did almost everything to the extreme.

In the live broadcast with the mic on, she performed the song perfectly, and her technique and emotional rendering almost reached the top of her level.

Her timbre advantage was demonstrated quite successfully. The sound was layered and with some weak voice techniques, it felt like a movie scene unfolding layer by layer.

Zhang Xiaorong also began to learn to "tell stories" through singing.

Of course, being stable enough has always been her greatest advantage.

It's not easy for her to have a stage accident, unlike the big sister next door who forgets the words at any time.
However, fans and viewers classify these as "absolute talent".

They had already started laughing, wondering why Zhang Xiaorong was so ruthless as soon as she arrived.

But Zhang Xiaorong said that she is just a singer.

The person who actually made her act so harshly was actually someone else.

After singing the song, she felt very happy, not because her performance was good enough to win the competition, but mainly because she did not disappoint the song that Bai Youlou wrote for her.

Based on past experience, this wonderful mood can keep her happy for more than a week.

To some extent, Zhang Xiaorong is actually easier to coax than An Luning, that "silly and cute girl".

Bai Youlou had long since learned to judge her mood by the degree to which the corners of her mouth curled up.

Conclusion: When she is with me, Zhang Xiaorong is always in a good mood~
It’s a pity that Bai Youlou can’t come today.

But it doesn’t matter, champions can come from the void, and so can people.

After Zhang Xiaorong finished singing and the audience applauded enthusiastically, the host came on stage and Liu Manli also strolled over.

Promoting a movie?
"What a great English song! Is this also Mr. Bai's work?" the host asked knowingly.

Zhang Xiaorong made a rare joke, "Who else could it be except him?"

"Oh~~"

There was a sudden booing from the audience.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaorong’s face didn’t turn red, and the young lady remained calm.

Liu Manli felt uncomfortable. Although she wasn't jealous or anything, it was still unpleasant to see people shipping the man who had just slept with her last night and another girl.

But her acting skills are good, and her smile becomes even brighter.

I even joked, "When can I ask him to write a poem for me? My English is also very good." "Sister Manli can tell him directly."

"It's so embarrassing to be rejected."

"He won't reject you~"

"Oooo!"

Stimulate!

Although it’s a bit weird and a little bit abnormal to support two couples at once, it’s really enjoyable!
Many of Bai Youlou’s male fans were very moved. Damn, Brother Lou is so awesome. Could it be possible that he got both of them?
A role model for our generation!

However, some strange groups smiled sinisterly and supported two couples? It would be better to be bolder.

No matter whether it is Bai Youlou and Liu Manli or Bai Youlou and Zhang Xiaorong, none of them can be as exciting as the "CP" of Liu Manli and Zhang Xiaorong!
To be honest, there has always been a big market for beautiful female stars to be intimate with each other.

Liu Manli, the beautiful actress who has been single for many years, is not without scandals.

That’s right, her scandal was with Jiang Yuanchu.

There have always been people supporting this couple.

And now, many people feel that Zhang Xiaorong and Liu Manli seem to have a better sense when standing together.

Just eat it and it’s done!
After chatting on stage for a while to fill the time, the host mentioned: "It's a pity that Mr. Bai couldn't come to the scene today."

Zhang Xiaorong blinked, and before she could react, the host suddenly changed the subject: "Although he didn't come, it doesn't mean we can't see him today. Please look at the big screen."

Live connection?

No, it was a video that Bai Youlou took the time to record in advance for the program crew.

The video was also recorded very cleverly. Although he did not write the name of the movie on his clothes, the background was the movie poster of "The Simpsons".

For advertising, there's nothing wrong with being a little tough.

However, he recorded this video mainly to tell the audience the "origin" of this song.

"The inspiration for this song actually comes from the singer herself. The girl who had a dream fifteen years ago finally realized her wish and stood on the stage of her dreams."

The plot of the Dream Chasing Journey is very old-fashioned, but also very classic.

But if it is a "true story" and the real person is standing here, it will be a decisive moment.

After Bai Youlou's action, if the production team dared to let Zhang Xiaorong lose this episode, that is, not get first place, he would not have to do anything, because the audience, whose emotions have been completely aroused, would destroy the production team.

Oh yes, there is more to it. This song is not chosen randomly.
In the name of dream.

At this moment, the movie theme promotion and this new song also completed a dream connection.

"Is he the one who wrote this song? He's so young!"

The foreign girl in the backstage looked at Bai Youlou and asked curiously.

The people from the program crew nearby quickly gave her some popular science advice.

The handsome guy who appears on the screen now, in addition to being a songwriter, is also the Cannes Film Festival winner and the Berlin Best Director. By the way, he also introduced Bai Youlou's works.

"Oh my god! I know him!"

Did you mention Whiplash earlier?
If we look at it from the perspective of a singer, Bai Youlou's fame is limited to China, regardless of whether he has won the Golden Melody Awards or not.

But when it comes to movies, he is still "somewhat famous" internationally.

They were able to identify with the characters immediately, and then Bai Youlou started to gain new "fans".

At least claim to be his fan.

The three foreign singers who participated in the recording all said that they knew Bai Youlou and had seen or heard of his movies.

One person actually talked about Whiplash in front of the camera, saying that the movie gave him a lot of strength. I've actually seen it~
Bai Youlou's true fans: Brother Lou is so awesome, I feel so proud~
In response to this, the program team said: Damn, it is true, the one who can really control the situation is the man behind Zhang Xiaorong.

So awesome!
It’s a pity that I can’t invite you.

But I think it’s not impossible to try hard and offer a high price to invite someone to participate in one episode. Maybe it will work.

Bai Youlou is young and has little experience now, but the advantage is that he has fewer restrictions.

It's not to the point where if I go on a show and sing some songs, people will think I've lost the quality of a director.

But one thing that is almost foreseeable is that as Bai Youlou achieves more and more, the possibility that he will accept such invitations will become less and less.

Maybe it's because it would damage their image, or maybe it's because they don't value this little money.

In short, invite him as soon as possible.

Of course, you can’t see what’s happening backstage during the live broadcast, but it will definitely be edited into the official program later.

But there is someone on the stage right now who is jealous!

This time Liu Manli is really jealous!

Bai Youlou writing songs for Zhang Xiaorong will only make people somewhat envious, but writing songs based on her own stories and dreams
Uh ~
Liu Manli suddenly remembered that Bai Youlou also gave her a song called "White Rose".

Of course, it is definitely not as "fitting" as Zhang Xiaorong's song, but it is indeed not so "favorable".

All in all, I still feel that there is some discrimination.

If she were given the same treatment, Bai Youlou should have tailored a movie for her.

Well, it seems that An Luning has this treatment!

Love in trilogy! This thing can seduce any female star!
The "nine-year agreement" between the two is quite famous, and some marketing accounts are still using it to meet their KPIs.

Liu Manli: So, I’m the only one who’s not “tailor-made”?
Jiang Yuanchu: Yes, you are the only one who doesn’t have it, I have it too~
Liu Manli was still feeling jealous, but Zhang Xiaorong, as the person involved, really couldn't help herself.

Because, at the end of this video, Bai Youlou said softly: "Happy birthday."

Suddenly, her defense broke down on the spot.

She had never behaved in a "inadvertent" manner on stage before, but she couldn't hold it anymore because of Bai Youlou's "movie promotion" this time.

That “Happy Birthday” was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I feel like crying!

Although she knew that such emotions seemed a bit childish, she was moved and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

The audience may find it a little strange, happy birthday? Whose birthday is it?

Zhang Xiaorong's birthday is not today~
Yes, her Gregorian birthday is indeed not today, but from childhood to adulthood, Zhang Xiaorong has actually celebrated her lunar birthday.

When she celebrated her birthday last year, it happened to be Bai Youlou’s busiest time.

I took the time to wish her a happy birthday and even ordered a small cake.

Not expensive, only sixty dollars.

Because at that time Bai Youlou was almost penniless, and sixty yuan was not a small amount for him.

After eating the cake, Zhang Xiaorong told her with a smile that it was her first time celebrating her birthday according to the Gregorian calendar, but she was very happy.

How to say it? Only the word "careful" can describe it.

Bai Youlou must have checked the lunar calendar date of her birthday.
It’s hard to imagine that such a lazy person like him would do such a thing. After making a “mistake” last time, Bai Youlou even cried out that he had wasted sixty yuan.

But the more this happens, the more I feel valued.

So, for Zhang Xiaorong, tonight is perfect.

"Sorry."

"Huh? Xiaorong, who are you apologizing to?" Liu Manli, who went back to the backstage with her, asked curiously.

"Uh, a. best friend."
-
Someone will definitely scold me for this chapter being too short, but I want to say, don't be impatient.

Because there is another chapter coming up later.
