Return to the Road of God

June in Ningcheng has entered into a scorching heat.

Ye's father and Ye's mother turned on the electric fan, watched the local news, and ate simple meals at the same time.

The news related to the college entrance examination is being broadcast on TV, and it is the annual college entrance examination season. The students are buried in their books, writing hard, and doing their best to meet the upcoming test.

Painting and art are not the whole of this world. When some people frantically pay attention to events such as the downfall of the government, Xia’s Tibetan paintings, Xia Xiaochuan, Chris Fionn’s art exhibition, safale, etc., there are still many people who don’t know Don't hear anything outside the window, don't care about everything that has nothing to do with them.

The news showed that the students were concentrating on studying, and the scene was filmed at the best middle school in Ningcheng, Experimental High School.

"If Xiao Yu is still in school, it's time for the college entrance examination..." Mother Ye recognized the students captured by the camera, and vaguely remembered that those students seemed to be Ye Yufan's former classmates, but in just three years, the child They all looked a lot haggard.

"After 12 years of hard study, it's just this moment..." For them, a small space and an admission letter are a whole world.

Fearing that Mother Ye would think of something sad, Father Ye quickly grabbed the remote control and changed channels after saying this.

The screen flashed, and a burst of cheerful music played. The host on the TV held the microphone and said something with a smile—this was an entertainment program.

"Next, let's invite the final contestants tonight——Shen Qi, Huang Yaoyao, and Jiang Bing!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa than.

"Shen Qi! Shen Qi! Shen Qi!"

"Huang Yaoyao! Huang Yaoyao! Huang Yaoyao!"

"Jiang Bing! Jiang Bing! Jiang Bing...!"

Fans calling for their favorite idols, screaming endlessly... The stage, stars, flashing lights, this is another completely different world.

Father Ye let out a "huh", he, who never watched such programs, unexpectedly put down the remote control rarely.

What made Father Ye surprised was not the fans cheering wildly, but the last name that the host reported just now.

Mother Ye was also attracted by the name, and looked at the screen. The explosive music sounded, and three platforms slowly rose in the center of the stage. Standing on them were undoubtedly the three people whose names were announced by the host just now.

"Is Jiang Bing that friend that Xiao Yu knew?" asked Mother Ye, who had a better memory.

As soon as he mentioned it, Father Ye quickly remembered that it was a friend Ye Yufan met on the street after dropping out of school.

Because they were afraid that Ye Yufan would be bored and unable to think about it alone, the two couples adopted an attitude of letting him go freely, and did not restrain him from doing anything, and out of their trust in their son, they knew that he had a sense of proportion.

During those days, Ye Yufan went outside almost every day, and it was said that he was just playing with that friend.

The result showed that they made the right decision. After about half a year, Ye Yufan determined his goal and came back immediately to set sail again.

When Ye Yufan went abroad, the kid named Jiang Bing went with him to see him off, so Ye's father and mother had a good impression of him, not only because he accompanied Ye Yufan in his most difficult time, but also because he was very affectionate.

Now when I heard the host announce the name "Jiang Bing" on TV, Ye's father and Ye's mother didn't think it out of thin air, after all, there are many people with the same name in China.They would pay attention entirely because they had learned from Ye Yufan that Jiang Bing also "sang".

The photographer gave a few close-up shots of the three people on the stage, and Mother Ye couldn't help exclaiming: "It's really him!"

They didn't expect that this ordinary young man who had nothing to do would appear on such a big stage!

"Oh, it's amazing, it's on TV!" Father Ye pushed his glasses again, completely aroused his interest, put down his job, and focused on watching the show.

"...It's pretty good!" The opening song was a cover of an old song that both Ye's father and Ye's mother were familiar with. The two thought it was very fresh, and Jiang Bing, who was good at singing and dancing in the show, surprised the two couples so much that they couldn't keep their mouths shut— —I didn't notice it before, but now I see it, this kid stands on the stage, he really has a star quality!

After the opening song, the host appeared again to introduce the program to the audience. Father Ye also opened the newspapers from the previous period and began to search.

"Here, here it is!" It turned out that what was shown on the TV was a program with the highest ratings in China recently, called "Born to Shine: "Tomorrow Star"".This talent show, imitating foreign singing competitions, was launched in April, and within a month, it became popular all over the country.

Because of the popularity of the show, newspapers reported it very early on, and several times the entertainment page was almost full of related news, young handsome men and beautiful women, singers who are no less powerful than Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, cruel competition system, fierce competition... all of the show All the features make the audience want to stop!

But Father Ye is not very interested in such programs, so he ignored them before...

Their luck is very good, tonight happens to be the live broadcast of the final!

At this moment, there are only three people left on the stage. These three people are Shen Qi, who looks like Jimmy Lin and can sing a good high pitch; Huang Yaoyao, who is gentle but good at rap and street dance; Jiang Bing, a popular bar singer who was born as a street singer.

Tonight, they will face the last battle before the finals, winner and loser, in one fell swoop.

Shen Qi is a graduate of the Conservatory of Music. He has a flattering appearance to support the stage, and he can also soar high notes. He has attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared on the stage, and has always been ranked first in the popularity list of talent shows.

Huang Yaoyao was originally a host of a certain TV station. Her cute appearance and unique r&b music style attracted a large number of young fans.

And the last Jiang Bing is basically a pure grassroots. Not only has he not received systematic vocal training, but he has dropped out of school since junior high school and stayed at home. However, his background has also become the most special promotion in the program group.

There are many people who support Jiang Bing, including the popularity he has accumulated in Ningcheng; there are also many who hate him, because many people think that his level is everywhere in the country, so why can he come to this point? What about one step?

But all of this also increases the viewability of the program.

The host announced the competition system of the final, which was divided into three rounds. In the first round, the singers sang the songs designated by the judges. In the second round, there was an impromptu performance, followed by a question and answer session and scoring by the judges. The last round was a thank you singing.The final result depends on the audience support rate and the judges' score, and the winner with the highest score is the champion.

Tomorrow's star, star -- this word that was out of reach in their minds is now within reach, so the three contestants have to do their best to win the favor of the judges and the support of the audience.

In the first round, the judges selected common popular songs, which were somewhat difficult, to test the singer's singing skills, but not uncommon.

Shen Qi's song is Qi Qin's "Ye Ye Ye Ye", because he is good at high notes, so he sings effortlessly.

"Not bad, but it doesn't sound as good as Qi Qin's singing." Father Ye sat in front of the TV and commented with a posture.

Mother Ye glanced at him: "You think you are a judge!"

The judges on TV naturally gave a high evaluation, except for one of them, who was pretty much the same as Ye's father said-the singing was quite satisfactory, but there was no major breakthrough compared to the original singing.

Father Ye looked at Mother Ye triumphantly: "You see what I said is right!"

Mother Ye: "...Stop talking nonsense, Xiao Jiang is going to play!"

I saw the lights on the stage gradually dimming, and the subtitles of the song information floated up in the corner of the TV screen——

"The Wandering Singer's Lover"

Singer: Jiang Bing (Original Singer: Old Wolf)

Father Ye wondered: "Why did you choose such a song that lacks vitality?"

The guitar sounded, and the stage lit up again. I saw Jiang Bing sitting in the center of the stage with a guitar in his arms. He was wearing a v-neck black sweater. He looked cool and handsome, and he looked like a student studying on campus. College Students.

"I can only tell you to believe me again and again..." As soon as the first sentence came out, the audience was in an uproar. Even Father Ye was stunned. He had to admit that Jiang Bing had a unique temperament. It's not obvious, but when he sings, you can't help being attracted to him.

The young man sat cross-legged on the stage, closed his eyes, and sang intoxicatedly: "The person who once loved you, that is me... leave you far away, leave the noisy crowd... I, please be a , the lover of the wandering singer..."

His voice has a warm hoarseness. He is only 20 years old, but he sang a vicissitudes that belonged to those who have experienced it. He is not hypocritical, just singing so quietly...

"...I can only ask you to believe me again and again, someone will always hold my hand and let me go with you..."

The audience quieted down, they had already been brought into that world by Jiang Bing, listening intently.

"...behind you, in people's legends, in the desolate distance, you and your love are sung in four seasons..."

After the slow prelude, Jiang Bing put down the guitar in his hand, took off the microphone from the stand, held it firmly in his hand, and then stood up: "I hate that I can't give my lover's life, I hate that I can't The melody that brings happiness..." without deliberate force and elevation, like the power bursting from the body, calm and passionate, filling the audience inadvertently, "I can only give you a small attic , a window facing north, allowing you to see the stars...!"

……

Amidst the frenzied applause, Father Ye continued to say: "Xiaojiang has performed very well, I think he has the potential to become a champion..." Holding a pot of tea, he decided to see the end of the night no matter how late up.

""The Vagabond Singer's Lover", this song originally needs to be sung by someone with deep feelings..." A female judge said, "The song itself actually reveals a feeling of inferiority and despair. I couldn't give his beautiful lover a good life, so I blamed myself very much. I thought that when you were young, you couldn't control this kind of song, but I was wrong..."

Jiang Bing stood on the stage neither humble nor overbearing, with some natural unruly and unruly eyes in his eyes.

"Do you know, Jiang Bing, when you sang the phrase 'I can only give you a small attic', I suddenly wanted to go with you willingly!"

Hearing this, the young man raised the corners of his mouth, showed a wicked smile, and screamed the whole time in an instant...

Another judge also spoke: "Jiang Bing, in this song, I heard your romance, it's great!" He said, giving Jiang Bing a thumbs up.

……

In the second round, the main judges gave a theme called "Love", and asked the contestants to improvise according to the theme.

"Love" is a theme that never goes out of fashion, especially for these young people who can sing and dance. Who doesn't have a relationship in their teens and 20s?

Shen Qi sang Lin Zhiying's "17-year-old Rainy Season", and with his similar face to Lin Zhiying, he immediately won a lot of applause!

Huang Yaoyao chose to dance street dance, and through body movements, she expressed the unique posture of a little girl in love, which is also very distinctive.

Finally, Jiang Bing stood on the stage and said, "Let me sing an original song of my own for everyone."

He didn't talk much, after finishing this sentence, he hugged his guitar, sat on a high stool, played and sang——

"That year I held your hand, and sorrowful clouds blocked your star-like eyes..."

"I couldn't bear you to leave that day, you promised to always remember me..."

"I stayed up all night that night, looking forward to your short and heartwarming greeting..."

……

"That year we were still very young, so crazy and stupid that we had nothing to worry about..."

"That day I sang on the street, singing about our ignorant youth..."

"That night you lay next to me, saying that you were a soul from a previous life..."

……

"I don't laugh at you crazy, just because I love everything about you..."

"Love your strength and your fragility, love you when you cry and laugh when you live hard..."

"I love your beauty and your fragility, I love your heartless persistence in past and present lives..."

……

At the end of the song, the audience was all drunk, especially the female audience, who held their chins and looked at the youth on the stage with fascination.

The female judge was most interested in Jiang Bing and asked, "Jiang Bing, did you write the lyrics of this song yourself?"

Jiang Bing said: "Yes."

The female judge said: "It's really good, I think your level is enough to reach the professional level, but I still have a question, why do you keep frowning when you sing this song, which makes me think you have something on your mind... ... Or is your relationship not going well?"

Jiang Bing smiled, and asked instead of answering: "Mr. judge, is it time for the question-and-answer session?"

Female judge: "..."

The audience burst into laughter, and the host immediately ran out to smooth things over and said something, followed by a 10-minute commercial. After the commercial, there will be a question-and-answer session between the judges and the singer.

Ye's father and Ye's mother took advantage of this gap to discuss the champion candidate in their minds.

Ye Mu said: "I think that Shen Qi can be popular. When he sang the song just now, he really looked like Jimmy Lin!"

Father Ye asked, "Who is Jimmy Lin?"

Mother Ye: "How many times have I told you that he is a famous cream boy in Taiwan, but he is famous! He has also filmed a lot of TV series, and it is said that he can also race cars!"

"I think that young man surnamed Shen is not as good-looking as our little Yu..." Father Ye rubbed his chin.

Mother Ye was secretly happy when she heard him say that her son was good-looking, and stopped arguing.

"I guess his chances are not great," Ye's father pretended to analyze deeply, "Although I don't know who Lin Zhiying is, but if you want to be a star, you must have your own characteristics. No matter how good Shen Qi sings, you can only be Lin Zhiying's shadow, not to mention he has never filmed, let alone racing..."

"How do you know he doesn't know how to race cars!" Ye's mother gave Ye's father a sideways glance, "You see, he has the highest approval rate on the field."

Father Ye: "If the audience can guess the ending after seeing it now, how boring it is!"

Mother Ye thought about it, and felt that their original intention of watching the show was to watch "acquaintances", so she silently began to cheer for Jiang Bing.

As for the girl named Huang Yaoyao, the two resonated with each other and neither mentioned it, because whether it was hip-hop or "rapping", it was beyond their appreciation.
