"The future is always beckoning, charming and brilliant,
Even if only accompanied by pain, I will forge ahead,
I want to set sail on the bluest sea there,
Without caring if I can ever return..."
The second verse begins.
An indomitable spirit sweeps through the hearts of the audience with the song.
At this moment, the audience is moved to tears by the firm and passionate singing.
Many clench their fists, raise them above their heads, and sway to the rhythm.
For a time, layers of human waves surge through the vast audience seats, a magnificent scene captured by the camera.
The song’s impact continues to stir the dream-chasing hearts of all!
"Despondent after failure,
Is the mark of a coward,
As long as there's breath left, clench your fists.
Before the sky breaks,
We must be even braver,
Waiting for the most dazzling moment of sunrise!!"
Let's go!
That infectivity grows ever stronger!
The camera focuses on Yin Na again.
She has already stood on the judges' table, imitating the audience, raising her hands and screaming without regard for her image!
At this moment, she is not a mentor, but merely an audience member infected by the atmosphere and captivated by the music!
Mo Yan beside her has a glint of tears in his eyes.
Han Qi and Liu Huan purse their lips, silent.
"Run forward! Facing cold eyes and ridicule!
How can the vastness of life be felt without hardship..."
The roaring song, accompanied by the screams from the venue.
Meanwhile, quite a few comments in the bullet screen have noticed.
Dark Night Rabbit seems to have hit a cracked note!
It was on that word "run," a tearing cracked note.
In a competition of this level, a cracked note signifies a mistake; even a minor one can lead to defeat.
At this moment.
The music abruptly stops!
The screams of the entire venue cease as well.
Everyone catches their breath, as if they can hear their own hearts pounding wildly.
Looking at Dark Night Rabbit on stage.
He walks to the front of the stage, holding the microphone.
Slowly, he raises his right hand, clenching his fist!
As if by telepathy.
The audience knows what he wants to do.
Then, everyone takes a deep breath.
In the quiet venue, these gasps allow the inner excitement and all negative emotions to be fully mobilized.
Suddenly!
Dark Night Rabbit violently swings his right hand down!
"Run forward!!!"
The entire audience, men and women, young and old, shouts with him!
A explosive sound, like mountains collapsing, sweeps through the entire venue!
Not only that.
In reality.
On the light rail, many people shout this line!
In the office after overtime, someone shouts it out!
In the square, the audience watching the live broadcast on the big screen also shouts along!
Audiences nationwide, and even overseas watching the live broadcast!
They all let out this cry at this moment!!!
Simultaneously, the bullet screen is flooded with "Run forward!"
This is a cry from everyone for their dreams, for that pure heart!
After this shout.
The accompaniment suddenly resumes!!
"With the pride of a pure heart!
How can the brilliance of life be seen without persisting to the end..."
Under the camera.
Dark Night Rabbit is hunched over, singing as if pouring all his strength into it!
He’s gone mad!!
The audience has gone mad!
Everyone's emotions are stirred, unleashing their passion without restraint at this moment!
The camera switches rapidly.
As the emotions reach their peak.
The song also comes to its end.
"For the beauty in our hearts!
Uncompromising until we grow old!"
Under the spotlight.
Dark Night Rabbit stands on stage, breathing heavily.
In the light, he is like a fearless warrior, showing people his infinite determination!
The accompaniment has stopped.
The audience's ears are still ringing.
Everyone is panting from the excitement.
This performance can be described as a perfect live act!
And its infectivity can definitely reach the ceiling!
However.
The immersive experience for the viewers watching the program is somewhat lacking.
They quickly snap back to reality.
And quite a few people notice the unusual sound Dark Night Rabbit made during the high notes.
While singing with all his might, there was a sudden cracked note with even more intense emotion.
Although it doesn't sound abrupt, many industry insiders watching the show can hear that the tone in some parts is inconsistent.
"Dark Night Rabbit made a mistake!"
"It's definitely a mistake, I heard a few cracked notes!"
"It shouldn't be a mistake, Dark Night Rabbit's vocal skills are so good, how could he crack a note?"
"Everyone has off-days, and the notes in this song are so high, he's pushing with his true voice throughout, so mistakes are normal."
"Anyway, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, it actually felt great in the cracked parts!"
"Whatever, let's see what the judges say later."
During those high notes, it did feel like a cracked note.
However, usually, when a singer can't hit a high note and cracks it, it feels very abrupt.
But when Dark Night Rabbit sang it, it fit so perfectly.
It felt as if the note was supposed to be cracked right there.
This leaves many viewers undecided.
"Thank you, Dark Night Rabbit, for this wonderful performance. To be honest, I haven't had enough of shouting 'Run forward!' yet. I'll definitely go to KTV later to belt it out!"
The host, Lin Han, says with a half-joking tone.
Then, amidst the audience's laughter.
He proceeds with the next segment.
"Please welcome Mi Lu and Dolphin Doll to the stage. Now, please let the judges give their comments."
As soon as he finishes speaking, the two singers walk out from the backstage.
The camera also shifts to the judges' table.
Unexpectedly.
This time, except for Mo Yan, the other judges comment on Mi Lu and Dolphin Doll first.
For Dolphin Doll's performance, everyone gives very good reviews.
For Mi Lu's performance, the judges also offer encouragement.
Mo Yan remains silent.
After both singers have been commented on, the judges all look towards Dark Night Rabbit.
Finally.
Mo Yan, who had been silent, speaks first.
He knows that if others were to speak first at this moment, it might affect the votes.
"The handling of your high notes just now, that was intentional, wasn't it?"
He doesn't say "cracked note," because according to his experience, a cracked note would sound unpleasant and jarring, but Dark Night Rabbit's handling didn't feel out of place; it was very fitting.
"Yes, intentional," Su Yu also understands Mo Yan's implication.
Mo Yan is protecting him; if others were to call it a cracked note, the votes from the judging panel later might be affected.
In fact, while singing, Su Yu had also considered whether to handle the song this way.
Ultimately, he felt that this kind of roaring, cracked-note treatment would be more soulful.
So, when he knew there would be controversy, he still kept it.
"So that's how it is, no wonder I felt so hyped and it didn't feel out of place at all!" Yin Na pats her chest.
She didn't dare to say it, for fear of getting caught up in the narrative. With Mo Yan leading the way, she could now speak on this topic without reservation.
She had heard the cracked note in this song, but she found it strange that it didn't affect the listening experience; instead, it made the emotional impact even stronger.
So, it was intentionally processed this way.
"What do you mean intentional, it's clearly a cracked note!"
"A mistake is a mistake, why call it intentional?"
"Is Mo Yan taking money to protect Dark Night Rabbit?"
"Heh, I see it now. What fairness and objectivity? Mo Yan is just biased. He likes Ting Yu very much, so he's speaking up for Dark Night Rabbit."
"Dark Night Rabbit isn't Ting Yu, he's just a singer. The song was written by Ting Yu. Does a singer saying it's intentional make it so?"
"Only Ting Yu can answer this question."
"Ting Yu would definitely say it's intentional, after all, Dark Night Rabbit is the singer he chose, so he naturally supports him."
"It's clearly a mistake, and they don't dare to admit it!!"
Just then.
As if waiting for a long time.
Public opinion begins to appear in the bullet screen.
And with this public opinion, more and more people follow suit.
The words of those people seem to be pre-edited, flooding in at this moment like a tidal wave!
