Chapter 201

Despite so many setbacks, the fourth performance finally arrived.

Although there were still many controversies, the audience was still passionate. Not only was the venue fully packed, but the live stream was also filled with flying danmu -

"Won't they be tired to death performing so many shows tonight?"

"I've already started feeling heartache for my sister. I bought tickets worth 3,000 yuan and will give all my votes to my sister later. My sister must debut with the C position!" "I don't know who your sister is but I'm sure as long as Qin Wei is here, the C position will definitely be hers. My blind guess for second or third place is Qin Wei. Although I don't really like her, her popularity is obvious and her fans have strong purchasing power."

"Her fans are really fierce. This is my first time seeing someone buy out all the new arrivals on a luxury brand's official website in 3 minutes. Her fans are crazy, no wonder so many top brands want to collaborate with Qin Wei."

"No need to put it like that. Qin Wei did advocate for rational consumption but there are indeed many young ladies with good financial conditions among her fans. It's normal for them to shop."

"Qin Wei fans, please keep quiet. You promised not to fight with others, so don't."

...

Host Yang Xiao walked onto the stage. After reading the opening remarks, she spent a full 8 minutes reading advertised sponsor messages aloud.

It immediately rushed to the hot search chart at that time. Everyone felt that Litchi TV made a huge profit this time - just the advertising fees gave people the illusion that "it's enough to feed everyone for years".

"Everyone must miss the young ladies right?! Let's welcome them and the song and dance 'Departure' they've prepared for everyone!"

"Let's just choose today, the sunny morning."

Along with the music, Sun Tiantian's voice rang out under the spotlight.

She wore a navy and white sailor-style costume, with clean and simple makeup.

When the camera focused on her, she pointed to Youyou beside her, wearing the same navy and white clothes, the same series, but the design of the styles was different.

Youyou held onto the railing in front of her, gazing into the distance:

"With our backpacks on, on the deck, sailing against the wind, we set sail."

After singing, she let the camera pan up.

Standing on the upper stage was none other than Qin Wei.

She wore a white sailor's hat, dressed in a sailor suit, looking full of energy.

"Let's just choose today, despite the long road ahead."

As she sang, she rested her arm on Qiao Sixiao's shoulder next to her, tilting her head to give her partner a sweet smile.

Qiao Sixiao wore a similarly naval-themed uniform, navy with white edges, looking clean and vigorous.

She sang:

"Pushing through storms, dashing east and west, we grow together."

The two of them looked to the right together as Wei Lai emerged from the darkness, wearing a long navy and white coat, simple and elegant.

Wei Lai waved at them while singing her part:

"Fearless of storms, sailing against the wind, we set sail with the future!"

Yan Jinyu also walked over, singing: "Let's just choose today, I'll give you the warm sunlight."

Chen Xinya crooked her finger, revealing a brilliant smile:

"Tell the sails about joy, tell the waves about ideals."

...

The whole song was refreshing and cheerful, from lyrics to moves to expressions, all repeatedly revised by dance teachers Yan Qingzi and Song Ye to ensure every performer was fresh without being greasy.

"I think it was alright."

Yan Qingzi, who watched seriously below, said.

"I think it was okay."

Song Ye also nodded.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Danmu -

"I really think Director Sun is amazing! Such a steady and beautiful opening. From now on, wherever Director Sun goes I'll follow with songs to listen to and shows to watch, not to mention shipping couples!"

"The Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao couple appearing together is so sweet. The production team really gets it!"

"This song is so nice. Let me check who wrote and composed it. Ah, the author is actually me (dog head to preserve life)"

...

The song ended, and applause kept coming.

Departure was composed by Chen Chen and Gu Minghua with lyrics by Lai Mai and Daniel. There was also the careful choreography and guidance from the dance teachers and on-site consultants. Plus the joint efforts of the artists, this led to today's still quite good opening.

"Is everyone still satisfied with the young ladies' performance?"

The host came on stage and asked.

"I think everyone can also feel the enthusiasm from the young ladies. Next, please welcome our teacher Chen Chen and Daniel to bring everyone a song called Luxurious Lady!"

There were cheers from the audience. Anticipation was also seen in the danmu -

"Chen Chen paired with Daniel? What an interesting combo!"

"A crossover? I remember renowned singer Song Zuying has also collaborated with Jay Chou on stage before!"

"I'm looking forward to it so much!"

"Awesome! This must be a song Qin Wei picked!"

"I suspect so too..."

...

"Standing on opposite cliffs across the river

Wild cockscomb flowers blooming abundantly in the grass sea

Who hung the moon in the sky

Lighting up the words I wanted to say that flowed into the sea

Flowed into the sea

..." As soon as Daniel opened his mouth, there were screams from his fans. Although he had an accent when speaking, he was quite serious about singing. He specially hired a teacher to correct his pronunciation word for word, so he sang very standard this time.

There was also a live stream in the backstage dressing room where Qin Wei listened to the song very enjoyably while preparing her makeup and hair.

It was Qin Wei who recommended this song to Daniel. After listening to it for the first time, Daniel was amazed and said he must perform it on stage someday. This was a good opportunity.

The first person he thought of collaborating with was Teacher Chen Chen. Since preparations were tight for the fourth performance, the production team had the mentor group put on shows too to bridge the competition.

In the livestream, Teacher Chen Chen continued singing:

"Connecting peaks within and beyond the Wumeng Mountains

Moonlight spilling onto Xiangshui Beach

Is there anyone who can tell me

Whether it's the heavens calling out to you

Crossing over a mountain and a river

Never lonesome across thousands of miles

Your legend spreads as time passes

Hundreds of red azalea flowers never wither

..."

Her voice was stable and powerful with a clear tone. She also had her own style in handling emotional details.

Chen Chen's professionalism in music emerged once again. Even though she hadn't formally performed on stage for a long time since getting married, her brilliance was still present.

Even Qin Wei couldn't help softly humming along backstage.

It sounded too nice!

Danmu -

"Phoenix Legend forever awesome!"

"I love their songs more and more each time! Every one can become a classic!"

"You can always trust in Phoenix Legend! Don't worry fans!"

"Some always say their songs are tacky but they're actually down-to-earth! Relatable to all of us ordinary people from all walks of life. They're appreciated by both the elegant and the popular without being too sophisticated!" (No offense meant to other music)

"The previous person is right. Only those close to the people are loved by the people. Our whole family loves Phoenix Legend anyway!"

"Their old songs are so nice too! Everyone go listen! I love them so much! Chen Chen and her hubby sang so wonderfully too!!"

At the end of the song, Daniel even incorporated a short rap passage into the song as the finale:

"Yo yo

This feeling's just like

A lingering fragrance

And the rippling gentle waves

Turned thoughts

Those causes and effects

A lingering fragrance

Leaves me continuously guessing"
