Chapter 59 Young and Green

Regarding the news that the band members collectively withdrew from the competition, Yang Zhi was confused throughout the whole process. Originally, she came to sing in this game at Kou Xiang's request, but unexpectedly, she became the lead singer and had to sing alone in the finals.

Kou Xiang told her not to think too much, that every game is worth treating well and showing her most perfect side. Yang Zhi tried to communicate with the program team, hoping to join the band.

In the office, the producer poured Yang Zhi a cup of warm water: "I have already said it to Caesar."

"But August is very popular now, and the audience likes them very much. Why can't they perform on stage?"

“The audience prefers you and Caesar.”

"But we are one." Yang Zhi said anxiously: "The performance we cooperated with was also very successful, right? In the previous few competitions, we had the highest popularity index."

The producer looked at her like he was watching a naive child.

"Yang Zhi, I have already told Caesar the same thing. Rap ​​music is not mainstream appreciation in China. The champion of our newsstar competition cannot be a rap band."

Yang Zhi remembered what Shi Xu once said, do you think the champion of this kind of competition is really chosen by the audience? Wrong, the champion has actually been decided by the program team.

Her hands tightly held the water cup and said in a deep voice: "So, even if August performs better and more popular than others, it is impossible to win the championship."

The producer raised his lips and did not respond positively to Yang Zhi, only saying: "Unless you choose popular tracks, but if you sing popular, the rest of your band will have no meaning of existence. You are the only one who can sing popular in the whole band."

There was nothing to say. Yang Zhi stood up with a calm face and was about to leave, when the producer's hoarse voice came from behind.

"To be honest, you and Caesar are the only ones who really have value. Others do not have the potential to debut and will drag you down. Now you are no longer children. Since you have this dream, you should still consider your future carefully."

Yang Zhi's hands tightened, and finally pushed the door and left without looking back. She rushed out of the TV building in one breath. The producer's words made her angry. She had decided to give up this broken program and not compete. She had already decided to win the championship game. If she continued to compete, it would be a waste of time and it had no meaning at all.

She called Kou Xiang and was about to tell him her decision. However, when the phone was answered, Shen Xingwei's excited voice came: "Zhier, come back soon!"

"What's wrong?"

"Hey, you'll know when you're back!"

"Tell me first."

"Oh, there is a surprise. Come back soon and wait for you!"

Yang Zhi hurried back to the hotel, Shi Xu pulled her into the room mysteriously. As soon as he walked in, he heard a series of pleasant sounds of tying the guitar strings, with a gentle melody. At the same time, there was a gentle male voice, accompanied by a melodious melody, singing a folk tune in a low-key tune.

Kou Xiang never sings popular songs easily, but his voice is very recognizable. He sang this gentle tune slowly. Yang Zhi felt that every inch of his soul seemed to be trembling and goosebumps oozing out.

It sounds so nice!

In the room, Kou Xiang was half leaning and half sitting by the bay window, holding Shen Xingwei's wooden guitar in his hand. The sunlight swept in from behind him, covering him in a halo, and the dust floated in a long time. He seemed to be outside the dust, as handsome as if he was not as mortal.

As his melody slowly came to an end, Yang Zhi's breathing was smooth, and she couldn't help but applaud. Shi Xu Shen Xingwei, who was next to him, had already whistled and patted his shoulder and excitedly said, "It sounds so good! I've heard it several times!"

Pei Qing also took the messy note manuscript in Kou Xiang's hand and said excitedly: "Don't you didn't sleep all night last night, do you write lyrics and music."

Yang Zhi noticed that Kou Xiang's face was indeed not as energetic as usual.

It really took a night.

Kou Xiang held the pen and quickly recorded the remaining melody in his mind: "I was full of inspiration last night." He looked at Yang Zhi, his eyes were not as calm as usual, but with a little excitement: "You sang this song in the finals."

Before Yang Zhi could speak, Shen Xingwei yelled at the high point: "I said why did I suddenly write pop music? It turned out to be written for someone to prepare for the finals."

Shizuo smiled faintly: "Most other contestants cover the songs, and if they have a little talent, they are adapted. Zhier, we show the original works and are produced by Caesar. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. This time we will definitely win the first place."

Not only is the quality guaranteed, but the goodness of this song is amazing. She has been listening to pop music for so many years, and most of the songs have to be repeated and cycled to hear them. However, she can get goosebumps when she listens to this song once.

There is no doubt that it is absolutely a level of fire.

Looking at Kou Xiang's expectant gaze, looking at the lyrics of the book beside the bed that had been revised and modified for several pages, watching his friends pick up the instruments, busy helping her improve the melody and rhythm, and if she wants to withdraw from the competition, she can't say anything.

A busy whole morning, during the discussion between everyone, this song was basically taken shape. The theme of the lyrics was related to dreams. Walking out of the mud and darkness, the glimmer of dreams guided her towards a smoother road to starlight.

The lyrics that touched Yang Zhi the most were—

"As long as you have the dream of not regretting until death, the whole world around you will help you."

She was deeply touched by this lyrics. Indeed, when she really began to clarify her goals and no longer hesitate or hesitate, she met Lu Yi, and her friends who always supported her, taught her to play guitar and write songs.

At the edge of night and dawn, she is not always alone, nor is she alone.

She watched with the score intently, humming softly, and a voice from the bandit came from her ears: "Give this song a name."

Yang Zhi suddenly looked up and saw him staring at her, his eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as his eyes.

"I'll name it?"

"Well, this song is written for you, and you should name it." Kou Xiang held his arm and sat back to the bay windowsill.

"Then I have to think about it."

After the friends walked out of the room, Yang Zhi leaned over to him and asked with distress: "Have you stayed up late?"

"Um"

Kou Xiang said "Yeah" like a mosquito screamed for a long time before saying, "No, it was written in the dream."

"Nonsense." Yang Zhi pinched his cheek: "Look at your dark circles, they were almost falling out."

"Don't interrupt, get back to the point, think of a name for this song."

Yang Zhi let go of him, then held his palm back, put it in his palm, pondered for a moment, and said two words-

"The Original Intention."

"Original intention." Kou Xiang murmured these two words repeatedly: "Only by not forgetting the original intention can we achieve the end."

"No." Yang Zhi stared at him in deep eyes, and leaned closer to the corner of his lips and kissed him lightly.

"It is to never forget the original intention and never let it go."

Even though Yang Zhi has many popular songs many years later, she will sing this song "The Original Intention" at every concert of her.

That was the first song Kou Xiang wrote for her.

He is her unswerving love in this life.

**

In the final finals, there will inevitably be many so-called "farewell" and "sentences". Each advanced player showed reluctance to the eliminated players, encouraging them not to give up and stick to their dreams, which made the audience wipe their tears.

But from the beginning to the end, Yang Zhi was indifferent. She could not pretend to cry like the program team arranged it. No matter whether she was eliminated or not, as long as her performance reached perfection, there would be nothing to regret.

As long as you stand on the stage, you must be worthy of the stage.

The last sing and hot dance just ended, and a beam of highlights hit the center of the stage. With the melodious and soothing melody, she walked out of the shadow in a small white dress. Her face was so sweet and tender, and the unique charm between her eyebrows was also incomparable.

Kou Xiang stood at the end of the audience and looked at her from afar. She was soft and petite, but the stage aura emitted from her body was so powerful that she could control the whole audience.

In the song "Original Intention", she sat on a wooden chair in the middle of the stage, fiddling with the guitar strings, as if telling a distant story, a girl who came out of an ancient town, carried her luggage and walked to the distance.

The most suitable way to perform this song is to guitar singing, without the noise and chaos of musical equipment.

A guitar is enough to tell the story of "her" in his life.

The whole audience was silent.

After she finished, the audience reacted for about ten seconds, and the warm applause was slowly ringing. Many people had already stood up and applauded better. The momentum at the scene had exceeded all the contestants who performed on stage before.

On the online live broadcast platform, Yang Zhi's wonderful performance just now also made countless netizens feel a blow.

"It sounds so nice!"

"Seeking for the name of a song! Seeking for the name of a song!"

"The Original Intention"

"I can't find it, is this song original?"

"It seems that yes, ahhhhhhhh! It sounds nice to burst!"

"Try to call the young lady!"

"I want to download it as soon as possible when the online version comes out!"

The final result was revealed. The host held an envelope with the title of the championship in his hand, saying that this was the champion of this summer's Newsstar finals, which was decided by online voting, judges and audiences.

The host buried suspense over and over again, raising the audience's appetite, but at this moment, Yang Zhi and several contestants stood on the edge of the stage, but their mood felt unprecedentedly calm.

The host finally announced that the champion of this summer's newsstar finals was Yang Zhi. The scene was filled with cheers, and the focus of all the cameras and people's eyes were all focused on her. Tonight she became the most attention.

But she stared at the boy in the last row of the audience and his friends, who sincerely applauded and cheered her heart, and under his calm eyes, everything seemed irrelevant.

The award presenter delivered the trophy to Yang Zhi, but she did not take it, but said sorry to him.

The award presenter looked at her in surprise, not understanding why.

No one could have imagined the next scene. She bowed deeply to the audience and said to them, sorry.

Sorry, I don't want this trophy.

The audience instantly boiled, and everyone whispered and talked. Even the experienced host on the spot didn't know how to deal with it at this moment. They just asked Yang Zhi awkwardly if he was too happy and he was talking nonsense.

Yang Zhi said calmly: "The champion should not belong to me alone. "The Original Intention" is a song written by my friends. I can't hold the trophy in my hand, but let them stand in the audience and cheer for me."

After saying this, she resolutely left the stage, jogged all the way, and ran towards the August band at the end of the audience. Shi Xu Pei Qing and others went from being surprised to see, to being moved, and Shen Xingwei said that he was almost crying.

Kou Xiang looked at the white figure running towards him calmly, and finally smiled slightly. In the crowd, he stretched out his hand to her from afar.
