The dull week finally passed in boredom. In the blink of an eye, the day of the competition with Principal Zhang arrived.
"Ah Hao, how many contestants do you think will participate in the competition this time? Can the two of us get a ranking?”In the car that the school had sent to pick them up for the competition. Ni Ying asked Sun Hao.
"Before we set off, Principal Zhang told me that the participants in this competition are all outstanding athletes from various schools. There are about twenty people. But don't worry, most of the contestants cover other people's songs. There are very few who have their own originals. I believe that we will have good results with our original songs. Isn't that right, Principal Zhang?" Sun Hao held Ni Ying's hand and comforted her.
Upon hearing Sun Hao's question, Principal Zhang, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his head and said,""Yes, Sun Hao was right. Don't be nervous. Just perform normally on the field.”
After more than 20 minutes of driving, the car drove into the Cultural Palace of City H. Sun Hao saw many cars of various sizes parked at the entrance of the Cultural Palace. It was likely that the contestants had arrived.
Under Principal Zhang's lead, Sun Hao and Ni Ying passed through the corridor and arrived at the dressing room of the Cultural Palace. When the staff saw them, they walked over and started to put on makeup for them.
Principal Zhang glanced at the two of them and said,""I just got the order of appearance. Ni Ying is the fifth and Sun Hao is the fifteenth.”
"Understood, Principal. You can go back to your work. I'll take care of Ni Ying here, so don't worry. We will definitely work hard." Sun Hao, who was putting on makeup, turned his head and said to Principal Zhang.
Principal Zhang nodded and walked out of the dressing room. At this moment, the contestants came in one after another. At this moment, Sun Hao saw a familiar figure flash past his eyes. After a closer look, he realized that it was Wang Xin, the student he had seen backstage at school.
"Yo, isn't this our superstar Sun Hao?”At this moment, Wang Xin also saw Sun Hao, so she walked over and shouted at Sun Hao.
The dressing room was originally very quiet, but Wang Xin's sudden shout broke the silence. At this time, the other contestants all looked in Sun Hao's direction.
"Oh, it's you. What's the matter?”Sun Hao didn't want to pay attention to such a person, but Wang Xin took the initiative to approach him. This made Sun Hao very impatient and said in a bad mood.
" You…" Looking at Sun Hao's indifferent attitude and Ni Ying's warm expression as she leaned on Sun Hao, Wang Xin couldn't help but be furious."Don't think that you're so great just because you know how to play the guitar.”
Wang Xin deliberately waved the guitar on her back as if she was showing off that she wasn't any worse than Sun Hao.
"Let me tell you, I won't lose to you in today's match. Just wait and see.”After Wang Xin finished speaking, she strode out of the dressing room.
"Idiot." This was the second time that Sun Hao gave this word to Wang Xin. This person seemed to be very arrogant on the surface, but in Sun Hao's eyes, she was like a retard. Every time, she had to say something full of herself, but in the end, she was always frustrated. Sun Hao thought to himself, Don't you know that dogs that want people won't bark? Who the f * ck is a dog?"
Wang Xin's words attracted the attention of the other players, and they all looked at Sun Hao. Ni Ying felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by more than twenty eyes, so she secretly asked Sun Hao,"Ah Hao, what's wrong? Who was he? Why are you so rude?"
Sun Hao turned around and smiled at Ni Ying."Ignore him. He's just a clown. He can't stand seeing others sing better than him. Let's continue preparing.”Then, he pulled Ni Ying's hand and returned to the dressing area, ignoring the other contestants 'discussion.
At this moment, in front of the television in Sun Hao's house, Huang Shufen tugged at Sun Jianming, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and said,""Hubby, look! Our son's competition is on TV.”
Sun Jianming raised his head to look at the television. On the screen was a large stage with flashing lights. A host in a lace dress was announcing,"Thank you for your wonderful speech, City Leader. Now, our competition officially begins. Let's welcome our first contestant, Li Gang from F High School.”
"Hello, everyone. My name is Li Gang and I'm from F High School. The song I'm going to sing for everyone is Zhang Yusheng's " Fish that Swim All Day ".”Li Gang said to Ping Wei and the audience.
Li Gang imitated Zhang Yusheng's voice and started singing. Although his voice was not as delicate as Zhang Yusheng's, it was still very good.
After the song, there was a round of applause. As Li Gang's singing was not bad, the three judges gave him 8 points, 9 points, and 8 points respectively. The total score was 25 points.
" Next, let's invite contestant No. 2, Student Wang Xin, onto the stage." After the scoring, the host went on stage to announce the next program.
"Hello everyone, I'm contestant number 2, Wang Xin. "Next, I'll bring you a song that I composed myself," Cold to the End."Wang Xin said something that shocked Sun Hao backstage as soon as she came on stage.
Wang Xin picked up the guitar, and a melody that Sun Hao could not be more familiar with echoed in the auditorium. It was Sun Hao's " Cold to the End."
" I'd rather be cold to the end than give up easily..." Wang Xin sang passionately on the stage, attracting warm applause and cheers from the audience.
At this moment, Principal Zhang frowned when he heard Wang Xin's song. Wasn't this the song sung by Sun Haona? Why did Wang Xin say that it was his song? However, Principal Zhang suddenly thought of something. He didn't say anything and just changed his posture to continue listening.
"Ah Hao, isn't this your song? How can he sing it?”Ni Ying, who was backstage, heard Wang Xin's song. She angrily looked at Wang Xin, who was in the middle of the stage, and said to Sun Hao.
"Don't worry, honey. He won't surpass us.”Sun Hao was completely convinced by this Wang Xin. Not only did she sing someone else's song, but she also said that it was her own. This was simply stupid to a certain extent. Didn't she know that Sun Hao had just sung in front of so many people a few days ago? Even if it was plagiarism, it had to be as inconspicuous as Sun Hao's.
After Wang Xin finished her song, the judges discussed for a while and finally gave two ten points and one nine points.
"Student Wang Xin, your song gave us a big surprise. It's just that your singing is still a little lacking. Your voice is too close to the front. I hope you can continue to work hard.”One of the judges gave Wang Xin a very high evaluation.
"This is too much. How can you plagiarize someone else's work? She even thought that it was her own. She was too despicable.”Ni Ying stomped her feet angrily when she saw that the judges had given Wang Xin such a high score.
Sun Hao blushed. Fortunately, Ni Ying didn't know that Sun Hao was actually a plagiarist. At this moment, Sun Hao felt a little guilty. "Alright, I'll handle this matter myself. You better memorize the lyrics. Don't forget them when you go on stage."”Sun Hao comforted Ni Ying, hoping that she wouldn't take this matter to heart, lest it affected the upcoming competition.
At this time, Wang Xin had already returned backstage. When she saw Sun Hao and Ni Ying together, she smiled at Sun Hao with contempt and said,"How is it? You must be very surprised at this moment.”
"How can you be like this? Why did you say that you wrote someone else's song? You're plagiarizing someone else's work. I'm going to find the judges to expose you.”Ni Ying saw that Wang Xin, who had plagiarized someone else's work, was still so uncouth, so she wanted to rush out and argue with the judges.
"Go ahead. Who can prove that he wrote that song? I sang this song first in this competition. Who do you think the judges will believe? Also, Sun Hao, don't you only know how to write these two songs? How about it? I've already sung the best song, and you still want to win the championship? "Haha!" Wang Xin laughed arrogantly.
Sun Hao stopped Ni Ying, who was about to rush out to argue with the judges, then turned to Wang Xin and said,"I'm really doubting your intelligence now, but I hope you won't be happy too early. However, I really admire you for being able to memorize the lyrics and melody after listening to it once. If you use this talent properly, you'll have a bright future.”Then, she pulled Ni Ying and walked towards the dressing room without looking back.
Since this Wang Xin sang Sun Hao's song (let's say it was Sun Hao's song for now) and even angered Ni Ying, Sun Hao couldn't tolerate it. Therefore, Sun Hao formed a plan in his heart.
The next two contestants also displayed their respective strengths, obtaining good results of 23 points and 25 points respectively.
"Next, let's give a round of applause to our contestant number five, Ni Ying from S High School. Bringing us one of her original songs.”After the emcee finished reporting, she walked off the stage and left the stage to Ni Ying.
The lights were on. Ni Ying, who was wearing a white dress, and Sun Hao, who was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, walked onto the spacious stage hand in hand.
"Hubby, look, our Haohao is on TV.”Sun Hao's mother, Huang Shufen, said excitedly to Sun Jianming beside her.
"I'm watching. Yes, our son is quite handsome on stage, just like when I was young.”Seeing Sun Hao on stage, Sun Jianming smiled proudly.
"You can be smug. Jianming, look, isn't the girl beside Haohao Li Na's child, Ni Ying? Why would she perform with our Haohao? Jianming, look, they're still holding hands?”Her mother, Huang Shufen, said in confusion as she watched her son and his colleague's daughter standing on the stage hand in hand.
Sun Jianming glanced at his wife beside him and said with some blame,""You're thinking too much. Our Haohao is still so young. What's the big deal about holding hands between children? Don't think about other things. Besides, what's the big deal about puppy love? It means that our Haohao has grown up.”
"You've spoiled our son, but this Ni Ying is really not bad. She's a perfect match for our Haohao.”Sun Hao's mother, Huang Shufen, scolded Sun Jianming and then sighed.
The camera turned to the stage. Sun Hao and Ni Ying, who were standing in the middle of the stage, bowed to the audience. It caused a round of applause from the audience. Ni Ying picked up the microphone and said to the audience,"Hello everyone, I'm contestant number five, Ni Ying. The song I'm going to sing for everyone is an original song called " I'm Beginning to Understand." I hope this song can bring a good mood to everyone.”Then, he gestured to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao walked to the chair that Ni Ying had arranged beforehand and sat down. He picked up the guitar and started playing the prelude of the song. The gentle chords were broken down, and a wave of melodious music drifted out from the slightly on both sides of the stage. The audience naturally quieted down.
I didn't turn around
The cruelest moment.
Quietly watching you go,
It's not like me at all.
Ni Ying sang the first part of the song with Sun Hao's accompaniment in her gentle voice. Her voice was so pleasant to the ears that the audience was so mesmerized by the cute Ni Ying's sad lyrics that they even forgot to applaud.
Sun Hao, who was accompanying the song, gradually increased the rhythm of the song. This time, he didn't just break down the chords at the beginning. Instead, he used the broken melody to create a euphemistic effect while using the sweeping effect to strengthen the melody of the song. It made the audience listen more rhythmically.
If someone noticed Sun Hao playing the guitar at this time, they would be surprised because the way Sun Hao played the guitar at this time was completely difficult to play. However, everyone's attention was on Ni Ying, so no one paid attention to Sun Hao.
"So I understand that people can become gentle. Love was a flowing thing, not something that could be controlled by others. There was no need to be so excited and need a reason.
Ni Ying's beautiful voice and the sorrowful lyrics made the audience imagine that they were in a place where they could hear the music.
In love, he deeply realized that love was flowing and not what people wanted. Thinking about it was always the best.
As the song gradually entered its climax, Sun Hao's rhythm began to intensify. The dense melody showed the audience a trace of uneasiness and slight anger in the interpretation of the song.
"I believe that you're just afraid of hurting me, not lying to me. Who would be willing to part with someone who loved me so much? He shook my dream awake, announced that happiness would never come, and forgave me with a sad smile…"
When the song reached its climax, you used a slightly blaming and gentle voice to sing it out, making people feel as if they were in the same place.
Among them, he yearned for happiness.
After the song ended, thunderous applause sounded from the audience. Everyone was giving their blessings to this young girl. Whether it was her appearance, voice, or personality, Ni Ying was very suitable for this song. At the same time, they also gave their applause to the young man who was accompanying Ni Ying on the stage. His music also moved the audience. The audience admired him for having such high attainments in musical instruments at such a young age.
Ni Ying bowed to the audience and saw Principal Zhang clapping for her too. Ni Ying smiled. At this moment, the judges also gave their own scores. They were 10 points, 10 points, and 9 points respectively. That was a total of 29 points. Her score was the same as Wang Xin's.
"I really didn't expect Li Na's girl to sing so well. But our Haohao's piano skills are not bad. Jianming, how can Haohao, who has only been learning for more than a week, play so well?”While Huang Shufen praised Ni Ying, she also had doubts about her son's guitar skills.
"Haohao studies hard in everything he does. It's not like you don't know this. What's there to be surprised about?”His father, Sun Jianming, glanced at his wife beside him. It was as if Huang Shufen didn't understand his son.
Just as Ni Ying was about to turn around and leave the stage, Sun Hao grabbed her hand and signaled her to wait. Sun Hao took the microphone from the rack and said to the thousands of audience members,"Let's applaud Ni Ying's wonderful performance again.”
The audience immediately burst into warm applause.
"But I want to make it clear that Ni Ying's song is an original, but some of our contestants today borrowed someone else's song and shamelessly claimed that it was their own.”Sun Hao's words immediately caused the audience to become lively. Everyone was puzzled by Sun Hao's words.
"May I ask how you know? Also, who is the contestant you are talking about?”An old man among the judges asked after hearing Sun Hao's words. This old man was the president of the Music Association in City H. He hated singers who plagiarized other people's songs the most.
"First of all, I won't explain." Sun Hao looked at Principal Zhang, who was sitting below the stage, and found that he was not unhappy. He just looked at Sun Hao calmly, so he said to everyone,"I'm also a contestant in this competition. Like Ni Ying, I'm also from S High School. Before my official performance, I would like to ask the judges and the audience to give me a minute to confirm what I just said.”
Sun Hao ignored the audience's reaction and picked up his guitar again. He played the song " Cold to the End."
" I'd rather be cold to the end than give up easily..." Sun Hao sang along with the melody of the guitar.
The audience was shocked. Sun Hao was singing the same song as contestant number two, Wang Xin, but the difference was in the way he played the guitar and the tone of his voice. Sun Hao's "Cold to the End" was much better than Wang Xin's.
Just as everyone was shocked and confused, Sun Hao stopped singing and looked up."Actually, this song is my original song. I don't know how contestant number 2 knew and learned to sing this song. However, I have to make it clear that this song is not an original song, so please give contestant number 2 a new score.
