"Damn, I suddenly don't want to watch 'Masked Singer' anymore!"
"There are clips of Lang Ya, I hope they just skip them!"
"It's disgusting, they're milking Teacher Mo Yan to death, aren't they?"
"Heh, the song choice is interesting. They don't want to confront Dark Night Rabbit directly, they want to be lazy and get a spot in the loser's bracket."
From his song choice, the audience could tell his intention to slack off.
However, Lang Ya didn't care. What he wanted was this controversy; controversy breeds popularity.
As long as he was on stage, his popularity would be higher than other Kings of Songs.
And the higher the popularity, the higher the appearance fee the company could negotiate for him.
Who would refuse money?
Lang Ya finished singing the entire song.
Mo Yan's expression was calm, without any extra emotional fluctuations.
As he stepped off stage, the camera clearly captured Mo Yan sighing.
It seemed like helplessness, and also like a release.
After sighing, Mo Yan's expression gradually became relaxed.
Lang Ya's actions had completely untangled a knot in his heart that had been there for many years.
"Next, let's welcome the last singer of today, Dark Night Rabbit!!!"
The host was as biased as ever.
After all, everyone knew that Dark Night Rabbit was chosen by Ting Yu.
Therefore, his favoritism towards Ting Yu naturally transferred to Dark Night Rabbit.
He put his full effort into the last syllable, "Rabbit."
Only when he had stirred the audience into a frenzy, with the entire venue screaming wildly in unison, did he stop.
Then.
Under everyone's gaze, Dark Night Rabbit walked from backstage to the front of the stage, carrying his guitar.
On the stage, there was a drum set and guitarists.
Rock and roll.
Generally speaking, on stages like this, most performances were rock songs.
"When I sing this song, I hope all the lights are turned off, and everyone takes out their phones and turns on their flashlights..."
With everything prepared, Dark Night Rabbit didn't start singing immediately. Instead, he made a request to the audience and the show's staff.
Dark Night Rabbit's support rate was definitely the highest on the King of Songs stage. When he made this request, the production team and the audience excitedly agreed.
And they began to anticipate what kind of song would require the audience's cooperation.
"Making requests to the audience, Dark Night Rabbit is really learning how to perform live," Liu Huan praised with interest.
"I heard Ting Yu has two inspirational songs this time. I think Dark Night Rabbit's request will definitely be very effective for the show," Han Qi nodded.
Mo Yan also nodded. He took out his phone from his pocket and turned on his phone's flashlight at the same time.
The other judges followed suit.
The stage lights dimmed completely, leaving only a base light and a spotlight focused on Dark Night Rabbit.
The entire audience area shimmered with countless lights, as brilliant as a starry sky.
The intro began.
The lyrics appeared.
"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"
Performer: Dark Night Rabbit
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
No wonder Dark Night Rabbit made such requests.
It turned out to be a song about stars.
The intro, combined with the starry scene in the audience,
evoked a sense of vastness tinged with a faint loneliness.
"Brightest star in the night sky, can you hear clearly,
The loneliness and sighs in the hearts of those who look up..."
With a deep yet slightly hoarse voice, Dark Night Rabbit's voice was like a call from afar.
It was yet another new timbre, but the audience was no longer surprised. For Dark Night Rabbit, they were more concerned about the emotions behind his songs.
"Brightest star in the night sky, can you remember,
The figures who walked with me, now vanished in the wind..."
Accompanied by the brilliant "stars" in the audience,
many people not only followed the song but also recalled the past, remembering that person, those people.
Dark Night Rabbit's voice was like a lonely person confiding.
Things have changed, people who walked side-by-side have disappeared.
Time gradually made one forget the face of the person in their heart, leaving only oneself sighing alone while gazing at the starry sky. Da Feng Novel Network
"I pray for a transparent heart,
And eyes that can shed tears,
Grant me the courage to believe again,
To embrace you beyond the lies..."
When the chorus was sung with an indescribable power,
its infectiousness made people forget to smile, their entire beings immersed in the song.
The greatest magic of this song, despite being a more artistic song leaning towards love, could still convey an inspirational story.
Moreover, everyone heard different emotions based on their state of mind.
The emotions they brought to it depended on what their brightest star was.
Was it that unattainable girl?
Or was it that unreachable dream?
Or perhaps it was the hometown they yearned for?
"Whenever I can't find the meaning of my existence,
Whenever I'm lost in the night,
Brightest star in the night sky,
Please guide me closer to you..."
The camera swept across the audience one by one,
finally settling on a boy who was crying uncontrollably.
When the interlude began, the audience saw the boy on the broadcast screen clutching his head and weeping, and they all cheered him on!
Perhaps, this was the meaning of the song.
An emotional release; sometimes, a single lyric or melody could make passersby stop for a long time.
That emotion flowed in the heart, like a fine old wine, worth savoring.
When returning to reality from contemplation, people would often smile wryly and then continue their hurried journey forward.
Life is a long road.
Some strive for their dreams, some strive for the people they love.
Some give up halfway, some get lost unexpectedly, and some persevere, gritting their teeth and moving towards their dreams.
In front of the television.
Zhou Xiang, like the boy who was crying uncontrollably, was already in tears.
In the days since his retirement, he had visited the training grounds every day.
Previously, he went to the training grounds for training. Now, when he went there, he no longer felt the same tense emotions. He was like a passerby, watching the friends he once ran with for glory, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness.
And now, hearing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," those experiences and glories surfaced in his mind, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
Only those with stories could be more deeply moved by the emotions of this song.
"Brightest star in the night sky, do you know,
Where are the figures who walked with me now?
Brightest star in the night sky, do you care,
Whether the sun rises, or if an accident comes first..."
The pitch of this song wasn't high, but it seemed to possess immense energy.
The brilliant river of stars below flickered with the music.
On stage, Dark Night Rabbit held his guitar, gently strumming.
The camera occasionally panned to one or two audience members who were shedding tears.
A concert-like feeling arose in everyone's hearts.
Dark Night Rabbit had once again turned a competition into his own concert.
Many people wondered if, when Dark Night Rabbit revealed his identity or won the championship to become a music god, and held a concert years later, he would sing this song and evoke a chorus from the entire venue.
After all, whether it was the melody or the lyrics, it possessed a strong sense of connection for everyone.
