Chapter 279 The sea took away his embarrassing history of cross-dressing.
Backstage control room.
Director Li Mingzheng crossed his legs, preparing to take a sip of water.
He was stunned when he heard the first sentence.
As he finished speaking the second sentence, the paper cup in his hand was crushed with too much force, and it snapped flat with a "rip".
"This...this is seriously a sad love song about the ocean!"
Li Ming stared in horror at the figure wearing a fox mask on the monitor.
If Zhang Dali's rendition of "Broken Hearts" was a top student's work, then Jiang Bai's shout was like a nuclear bomb that could be used to deliver a devastating blow!
In comparison, Zhang Dali's so-called "contrasting tragedy" suddenly seems like child's play.
That's just being coquettish, it's feigning illness, it's a false sadness concocted with industrial saccharin.
Jiang Bai, however, was not singing a song.
He poured that bottomless pool of sorrow directly into everyone's skulls!
.......
In the center of the stage, blue light and shadow swayed wildly.
Soon, the first chorus began.
"If only the sea could bring back the love we once shared."
"Let me wait a lifetime~"
If you no longer cherish those deeply felt memories of the past...
Let it drift away on the wind!
This time, Jiang Bai's voice was restrained.
He was like a heartbroken man wandering alone on the beach at night, whispering his reluctance to leave the endless darkness.
The tremor in every note.
It wasn't because of unstable singing skills, but because the "nostalgia" had reached its peak, yet no answer could be found.
He was asking the sea for an answer:
If I wait my whole life, can you give me back that vanished face?
Backstage, director Li Ming seemed to have already been captivated by the film.
He stood frozen in place, listening to the profound meaning behind each word "wait".
Some long-buried memories welled up in my heart.
"This isn't just singing..."
Li Ming murmured, "This is asking about fate..."
He stared blankly at the monitor, his vision blurring instantly.
He thought back to ten years ago.
At that time, he had not yet become a director; he was just an assistant director who carried equipment for others and was constantly being scolded.
That day, also on such a chilly autumn night.
The girl who had shared three years of instant noodles with him and lived in a leaky basement hugged him one last time at the seaside pier.
The girl said, "Amin, I can't wait any longer. My parents want me to go back to my hometown to get married."
At that time, Li Ming only had a ticket to the film crew that led to his dream.
He looked at the surging sea and the girl's receding figure. At that moment, he felt that the whole world was nothing but bitter, salty seawater.
"If only the sea could carry away my sorrow~"
"Like taking away every river~"
"All the wounds I've suffered~"
"All the tears that have been shed~"
"Take all my love with you~"
As Li Ming listened, two lines of tears streamed down his wrinkled face and fell onto the control panel.
Drifting with the wind... drifting with the wind!
"My love went with you too."
He kept the breakup from ten years ago buried in his heart.
It was sealed away by fame and fortune, by drinking parties, and by all sorts of unspoken rules.
But now, Jiang Bai's shout was like a giant axe that split the heavens and the earth, directly cleaving through that layer of icy armor.
It directly dredged up that most painful and bitter memory.
"So... I once wanted the sea to carry away my sorrows..."
"If I wait my whole life... will it bring you back?"
Li Ming cried like a 200-pound child.
His crying startled the technician next to him, who was already wiping away tears, so much so that he dared not utter a sound.
The only sounds in the control room, besides the buzzing from the overheated machines, were the director's uncontrollable sobs.
.......
Meanwhile, Jiang Bai on stage was rapidly developing his emotions.
They've reached a breaking point in their emotions.
Jiang Bai did not intend for the audience to linger in this gentle sorrow for too long.
"Wandering aimlessly along the beach, watching the tides come and go~"
"It's all in vain to try and remember every single wave."
I wanted to say "I love you," but my words were blown away by the wind.
I turned around suddenly, and there you were!
The accompaniment became urgent, and the low pressure, like the calm before an impending tsunami, instantly enveloped the entire studio!
Jiang Bai suddenly tilted his head back. His powerful lung capacity of 12 points of stamina was like a storm that had been brewing in the deep sea for thousands of years, finally finding an outlet!
He was no longer the wanderer who whispered his tales.
He became—the sea god!
"If only the sea could—bring back the love we once shared—!!"
"I will wait my whole life!!!"
"If you no longer cherish those deeply felt past moments!"
"Let it drift away with the wind!!"
If the first time was a plea, then this time is a roar!
That was a roar that erupted from the depths of the soul, a high-pitched sound that transformed all the grievances, exclusion, and resentment suffered in this life into a monstrous wave!
This song does not sing the word "nian" at all.
But the trembling of every word and the madness infused in every note made the audience feel the intense, almost obsessive love and longing!
"All the wounds I've suffered! All the tears I've shed!"
"My love—take it all away—!!!"
With the emotional outburst of the high notes.
boom--!!!
In that instant, it seemed as if the entire roof of the Lychee TV studio was about to be blown off by the sound wave!
The judges in the audience were stunned into a blank as the tenor's voice soared to the heavens.
The electric current generated by emotional resonance surged from the tailbone straight to the top of the head!
The fans who had originally supported Zhang Dali were now holding glow sticks, but they all forgot to wave them.
They stared blankly at the man on the stage wearing a fox mask.
They wanted to cry.
This roaring, heartfelt emotion made them realize that true "tragic love songs" are not the kind of miserable stories where you hide in a corner and secretly wipe away tears.
Rather, it is the kind of magnificent spirit that, even when swallowed by giant waves, still sends out a final, desperate cry towards the sky!
The song on stage continued.
It's no longer roaring so loudly, but rather its intensity is decreasing.
Like the calm after a huge wave.
"If only the sea could take away my sorrow~"
"Like taking away every river~"
"All the wounds I've suffered~"
"All the tears that have been shed~"
"My love—"
"Please take them all."
The last sentence fell.
The accompaniment gradually weakens until it disappears.
On the sea, the spray from the crashing waves has disappeared, and the ocean has returned to calm.
Jiang Bai's fingers were trembling, but it was a natural resonance after the song had reached its peak.
Looking at the tearful and excited audience below, Jiang Bai had no romantic memories.
Please take all my love with you?
Do not!
Oh, the ocean!!!
Please take away his past cross-dressing scandal!
Take them all with you!
Leave absolutely nothing behind!!
