Entertainment system: The sad queen sang and made the audience cry

[I didn’t expect it to be so exciting after the competition system was changed! ]

[I thought the international competition was already exciting at first, but I didn’t expect it to be this exciting]

[Who came up with this new competition system? It’s so cool! ]

[If you can hold on, it will be a round-robin battle. I think Gu Zhimiao can definitely hold on.]

[According to reliable gossip, the change in the competition system was initiated by the United States, and China was opposed to it.]

[China will definitely oppose this. Isn't this bullying? ]

[China must oppose it. What if it wins? ]

[The new competition system is so exciting that I have been in the live broadcast room for more than two hours and I don’t even dare to go to the toilet]

[I always go to the bathroom when they are working on their creations]

[The live show must be more exciting, but unfortunately I didn’t buy a ticket for the live show]

[Hurry up and book your tickets for China. You can’t even get a ticket at your doorstep. If you tell others about it, they will laugh at you.]

[I couldn’t buy a ticket, so I moved a stool to the door to listen]

[To be honest, I'm already looking forward to the China race. I hope the competition system won't be changed. It will just be PK. How exciting it will be.]

While the audience was still discussing the matter heatedly, Gu Zhimiao completed the change of clothes on the stage according to Xiaomin and Xiaomei's instructions.

From a long skirt to a short skirt, and then from a short skirt to a long skirt, you don’t have to step off the stage, it’s done in just one second.

Gu Zhimiao's change of clothes immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.

The topic of discussion shifted to Gu Zhimiao's makeup.

[Oh my god, how many skirts is Gu Zhimiao wearing?]

[Three seconds, I want to get her stylist's information]

[Gu Zhimiao's costume designer Zhang Xiaomei and makeup artist Lin Xiaomin are both attached to the company]

[Zhang Xiaomei? Is that the Zhang Xiaomei I was thinking of? ]

[Is Lin Xiaomin the same Lin Xiaomin I know? ]

[Yes, they are the two who won the Newcomer Makeup Award]

[Damn, there are so many talented people in the company! Even the costumes have won awards.]

[Gu Zhimiao's makeup is really well thought out. Every PK has a different look, just like the style of the songs Gu Zhimiao sings every time is different]

[Don’t you think Gu Zhimiao’s performances are very sincere? ]

[To be honest, I'm already looking forward to Gu Zhimiao's concert...]

【Concert!!!】

The topic took a turn unconsciously and everyone started discussing Gu Zhimiao's concert again!

Maria has already stood on the challenge stage, her heart beating fast. This is her first challenge, but Gu Zhimiao's fourth PK.

Gu Zhimiao looked normal, without any change at all.

It seems that there is no problem in hitting ten at once.

The questions will be drawn by Gu Zhimiao, the successful champion.

Gu Zhimiao looked at the note in his hand, then looked at Maria, which made Maria nervous all of a sudden.

Is the question difficult?!

The audience was also very confused. What was the question that made Gu Zhimiao look so solemn?

Gu Zhimiao sighed and said, "The title of this creation is [Time]!"

The title [Time] is displayed synchronously on the big screen!

The show was really well done and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They thought the questions were very difficult!

The host Wan Taixian continued, "The topic of this competition is [Time]. I believe everyone has a lot of feelings about this topic, so let's count down to three and enter our creative time!"

"Three, two, one! Start!"

Both of them started to operate, and this time the song given by the system was "Yesterday Once More", which was played again yesterday.

This song is quite classic and has been covered by countless singers. It can be said to be a timeless classic.

This song had a special feature at Gu Zhimiao's time: it was a song highly recommended by English teachers across the country.

Gu Zhimiao never thought that one day he would be able to sing this song in another world.

She couldn't wait.

The stylus moves very fast.

She quickly finished moving the items and pressed the Done button.

Maria initially thought that Gu Zhimiao would finish after her. Judging from the PK chosen by Gu Zhimiao, Christina and Rong En, finishing after Gu Zhimiao had already become a tactic.

After Gu Zhimiao's two rounds of operations, finishing and performing, he felt more advantageous.

Why did you suddenly stop doing this?

Maria looked at the stylus in her hand and wondered if the song Gu Zhimiao was playing did not require any tactics at all?

She was a little confused!

My mentality is messed up!

After all, Maria had experienced many ups and downs, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and pressed the completion button.

The time it takes for creators to complete their works is really getting shorter and shorter, as if time constraints are not a big problem for them at all.

Gu Zhimiao finished first, so he performed first. Under the attention of everyone, Gu Zhimiao took the microphone and began to sing along with the accompaniment.

There is no showmanship, no dancing, and no unnecessary performances.

Half of the big screen played a close-up of Gu Zhimiao, and the other half played the song title and lyrics.

【When I was young】

【I'd listen to the radio】

【Waiting for my favorite songs】

When they played I'd sing along

【It made me smile】

……

The song has a melodious melody, and as soon as the melody sounds, everyone's hearts calm down.

Listening to this song, everyone seemed to follow the music back to the past.

This song sounds simple, but the information provided by the system shows that this song requires a relatively wide range of sounds and a slow rhythm, but it is more penetrating than high notes.

It also requires persistent and stable input, and it is not an easy task to sing this song well.

Gu Zhimiao's singing seems to have magic that can soothe people's hearts.

【Every Sha-la-la-la, Every Wo-o-wo-o】

【Still shines】

【Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, That they're starting to sing】

【So fine】

……

The chorus was very simple. Everyone in the audience followed Gu Zhimiao and sang along, [Every Sha-la-la-la, Every Wo-o-wo-o]. Everyone had become accustomed to singing along.

It’s a different la la la from the previous song, but it has the same brainwashing effect.

But this song is more peaceful and soothing in comparison. The melody is melodious and has a magical power that can penetrate people's hearts.

The lyrics of this song are relatively straightforward, and can be said to be plain, concise and clear, yet they retain sincere emotions and profound connotations.

Following the system's suggestion, Gu Zhimiao used a softer voice and performed the song in an infectious manner.

It expresses the emotions in the song vividly, making the listeners unconsciously start to recall the past.

Maria clutched the clothes in her hands tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.

Her eyes were sharp, staring intently at Gu Zhimiao on the stage in front of her, as if she wanted to see through him.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Gu Zhimiao's performance came to an end.

Maria felt that Gu Zhimiao looked down on her. Why did she, Gu Zhimiao, use so many tricks when facing other contestants, but why did she use such a calm song when facing her challenge? !

Maria's mentality was ruined by herself again!

If Gu Zhimiao could hear Maria's inner voice, she would definitely say, you are wrong! This song really does justice to you!

Maria was dressed in white today, like a holy saint, but her eyes were filled with unspeakable resentment and jealousy.

When it was Maria's turn, she passed by Gu Zhimiao and couldn't help showing disdain in her eyes.

Gu Zhimiao was confused by what he saw.

Maria stood in the center of the stage, holding the microphone, and started off with a high-pitched note in the octave.

The whole place was shaken!

Her voice is particularly penetrating. If it were a normal high note, this kind of penetrating voice would be particularly shocking!

But the emotions that Maria brought in were full of resentment and jealousy, and the high note sounded very harsh.

Some viewers couldn't help but cover their ears.

There was a lot of discussion below!

[What's wrong with Maria's high note? It's too bad! ]

[Today, she completely changed her previous kind-hearted appearance]

[She looks like an angel in her dress, has she turned evil? 】

[Faced with Gu Zhimiao, there shouldn't be any angel who won't be blackened, right? ]

Maria certainly had no idea what they were talking about, she just continued to perform according to her own creation.

Her voice was sharp and piercing, and she used the bel canto technique, with great penetrating power, as if she was accusing God of injustice and telling of the darkness of hell.

Overall, the song she created today is dark, ironic, and hysterical.

But today's topic is time...

Gu Zhimiao couldn't help but frown after hearing this!

The final reversal is here!

Maria's voice gradually lowered and she began to sing the lyrics.

The general meaning is: You of the past and I of the future, we have never met again, so what does it matter what about us of the past.

[Could it be that Maria is heartbroken? ]

[Is he crazy? How could he write such a rebellious song? 】

[Nonsense, Maria is a religious person and would not have such dark thoughts]

[Today's song sounds full of resentment]

[Maybe trying a new style?! ]

At the end of the song, Maria used her best chanting again.

The sound is shallow, thin, and dense, and it feels like it is crawling up your back.

Gu Zhimiao looked at Maria in front of her and was a little moved by her music.

Maria's entire song, from madness to loneliness, perfectly describes the passage of time, the hysteria when a person discovers the truth, and the process of being powerless in the end and having to admit the truth.

This process takes time.

Maria's creation and performance of this song were seamless and exquisite.

Gu Zhimiao couldn't help but applaud!

Only people who understand music can understand what Maria's song expresses.

Bravo!

When Gu Zhimiao got to the voting session, he was very much looking forward to it.

She felt that Maria had a good chance of defeating her, and as long as Maria won, her progress bar for the ultimate mission in the world would move forward one step further.

Unfortunately, Gu Zhimiao overestimated the public's appreciation of music and underestimated the public's love for her.

Everyone has heard Maria's singing style of first rising and then falling.

Some of the audience were also moved by her singing style and understood the emotions she wanted to express.

But most of the audience were first shocked by Maria's piercing high notes!

Singing is not just about showing off your skills, it also takes into account the public's listening experience.

You first listened to a song by Gu Zhimiao that was so soothing and gentle, taking you back to your old dreams.

If you listen to such exciting and stimulating songs again, it will easily cause physical and psychological discomfort.

Therefore, most of the audience did not have a very good impression of Maria, and a small number of them even vomited after listening to her.

The louder the high notes are, the better they are. Music still needs beauty.

The result is obvious.

No one really likes Maria's music, so her voting stopped at around 9 million.

What Maria didn't expect was that her vote count was even lower than Rong Enxuan's.

This was also something he could not tolerate.

Maria was very strong. She clenched her fists until her fingertips turned white, and she closed her lips tightly. She said nothing, bowed, and walked down the challenge stage.

The host announced that there would be a twenty-minute break.

Gu Zhimiao quickened his pace and walked towards the dressing room. Xiaomin and Xiaomei were already prepared. As soon as he entered the room, they stripped off all his clothes.

She was quickly put on a short black velvet dress.

Gu Zhimiao asked: "How are we going to change into this outfit later?"

Xiaomei held a bunch of white transparent seersucker in her hand and piled it around her waist: "I will take down this seersucker around your waist later, and then put it on your arms to become new sleeves."

Xiao Min continued, "Then open the neckline of your skirt and make it into a one-shoulder style."

Xiaomei put a pearl necklace on Gu Zhimiao's neck, and Xiaomin put black velvet gloves on her.

The whole person looks very noble and elegant, but the fluffy seersucker around the waist gives people a playful and cute feeling.

"I'm going to PK with Katyusha later, sister, will you let her win?" Xiaomei asked while changing Gu Zhimiao's hairstyle.

"Of course not! Giving up on the game is a way to disrespect your opponent!"

"Then you just..."

"Do you think I just went easy on Maria?" Gu Zhimiao asked back.

Xiaomei nodded straightforwardly.

"I didn't, I actually thought Maria's interpretation was also very touching!"

Gu Zhimiao wanted to say something, but Wang Xiaoya shouted from outside: "It's time to go on stage!"

Katyusha was waiting for Gu Zhimiao in the waiting area. When Gu Zhimiao came over, the staff quickly came forward to tidy up her equipment.

After the host finished reading the commercial, he said, "Please welcome the champion Gu Zhimiao and the challenger Katyusha!"

The two smiled at each other, held hands, and walked onto the stage together.
