Chapter 137 Freedom Like a Dream
After the performance, all the composers and singers who successfully advanced to the next round chatted with each other and walked briskly together toward the recording studio.
At this moment, Shen Yan, dressed in neat and appropriate attire, walked steadily onto the stage, his figure standing out prominently under the spotlight.
Shen Yan slightly raised his hand, signaling for silence in the room, and then said in a clear and steady voice, "As you all know, our stage has always been full of uncertainties. Now, two composers have unfortunately left. Based on this, we will reschedule the theme selection for the next episode three days from now, and the selection will be done in teams with the singers. In addition, it should be noted that this time the teams will not be formed freely, but will be determined by a live draw to ensure the greatest possible fairness."
After the recording of the second episode was completed, it sparked heated discussions online and received an unprecedentedly positive response.
Many singers were thrilled upon hearing the news. Some were newcomers, still searching for opportunities to make their mark; others had been in the industry for a long time without producing any notable works, almost forgotten by the public. But when they saw the incredible performances on the show, it was like seeing a ray of light in the darkness, igniting a burning desire for stardom in their hearts.
They all took the initiative to contact the program team, expressing their strong desire to participate. Some singers even said they were willing to give their all even without receiving any payment in order to get this opportunity.
The day after finishing the intense recording of "I Am a Composer," as the morning sun was just beginning to stream through the window, Luo Li eagerly arrived at Wanwan's place. Today, Wanwan would face the fierce competition of "Heavenly Voices" in the top five to top three round.
With Luo Li by her side, Wanwan quickly got ready. The two then boarded a car arranged by the production team and headed towards the recording venue.
Throughout the journey, Wanwan felt both nervous and excited. As she gazed at the scenery rushing past the window, she recalled every moment she had experienced on the show.
From initial nervousness and anxiety to now being able to confidently present myself on stage, every step has been full of challenges and growth.
"Wanwan, don't be nervous. You got the most votes last time, so you'll definitely be fine this time too!" Luo Li seemed to have seen through Wanwan's thoughts and comforted her.
Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, I will do my best. No matter the outcome, I will sing my best on this stage."
When they arrived at the recording site, the staff were busy with final preparations.
Wanwan was doing her final rehearsals and warm-ups backstage. Her singing voice echoed backstage, attracting the attention of many people.
"This little girl has such a lovely voice; she's sure to put on another wonderful performance today," a staff member whispered.
As time went on, the recording officially began. The atmosphere on set was incredibly enthusiastic, with cheers and applause from the audience rising and falling.
The host walked onto the stage and enthusiastically introduced each contestant. Because Wanwan received the most votes in the previous round, she was scheduled to perform as the finale this time.
The performances of the previous contestants were all excellent, and the audience's emotions were repeatedly pushed to a climax.
Wanwan waited quietly backstage, her heart gradually racing, but she kept adjusting her breathing and telling herself to stay calm.
Finally, the host's voice rang out: "Next, let's welcome our final contestant of the night—Wanwan! She will bring us a feast of freedom and dreams with her singing!"
As the host finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience.
Wanwan took a deep breath and steadily walked onto the stage. The stage lights focused on her, making her radiate a kind of glow.
The music began softly, and the familiar yet stirring melody instantly captivated everyone's ears. Wanwan closed her eyes slightly and began her performance:
Will you still care about me?
My dearest friend.
When I decided to let go of everything
Embark on the road to freedom.
Her voice was clear and powerful, with a penetrating quality.
Every note seemed to flow from the depths of her heart, expressing her yearning for freedom and her dedication to her dreams.
The audience was captivated by her singing, falling silent and immersing themselves in the beautiful music.
The live stream was instantly ignited by Wanwan's singing. Viewers flooded the screen with comments:
A viewer named "Sunshine Warmth" quickly typed on the keyboard: "May sunshine fill every place you go, and may everything go as you wish."
He had just finished a tiring day at work and was feeling gloomy, but Wanwan's singing was like a ray of sunshine shining into his heart. He couldn't help but hope that this girl who conveyed warmth through her singing would have a future filled with sunshine and smooth sailing.
The "Dream Chaser" commented: "On this winding and circuitous road, I experience the meaning of life."
He was going through a period of confusion in his life, constantly hitting roadblocks in his career, and feeling that the road ahead was full of thorns, unknowns, and hardships.
Wanwan's singing resonated with him in an instant. He realized that life is a winding and tortuous road, and every fall and rise, every perseverance and struggle on this road constitutes the meaning of life. At this moment, he seemed to have found the motivation to move forward again.
A fan of the "Music Elf" wrote excitedly, "Wanwan's songs have a power!"
As a devoted music lover, he has listened to countless singers, but few songs can touch the soul like Wanwan's.
The singing seemed to possess a magical power, penetrating the screen, dispelling the gloom deep within his heart, and allowing him to feel a vibrant and uplifting force.
"Dream of Free Flight" sent multiple comments: "With a free heart, the world becomes wider. Be as free as a dream, as strong as the sky, as tolerant as the earth, and ignite the light of life!!! Let's cheer each other on!!!"
He always longed for a free life, but was held back by various constraints in reality.
Wanwan's singing made him yearn for freedom even more. He felt that Wanwan sang out his innermost desires, as if telling him that as long as you have a free heart, you can break through all constraints and embrace a wider world. So he couldn't help but write these words on the screen, which was both a praise for Wanwan and an encouragement to himself.
PS: Original singer, lyricist, and composer of "Like a Dream of Freedom" is Wang Feng. The stage performance is inspired by Zhang Yuqi's performance on "The Voice of China."
