After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

"Please welcome the next contestant."

After the judges finished their comments on the stage, Lu Qingfeng, who had been wearing the mask for too long and couldn't take it off, let out a sigh and walked to the front desk.

On both sides of the passage leading to the center of the stage, the camera was aimed at him. His tall figure, wearing a cloak and a fox mask, appeared on the sub-screens on both sides of the stage.

Clap clap clap!

The audience burst into applause.

Fans gathered in the bar outside the venue, and many people like Yang Xiuxiu who were watching the show at home, also set their sights on him.

"How do you feel about the final stage?"

At this time, a colorful picture was displayed on the main screen in the middle.

Against a pure black background, Lu Qingfeng sat on a stool, thought for a moment, and then answered.

"I never thought I would get this far as a singer. I'm very happy to be recognized by everyone."

It was a standard answer. For those who knew him, it reminded them of his past as an idol, which now seemed to be a failed debut experience.

The singing and dancing did not leave much impression.

Compared with hiding his identity in the early stage, it is really touching to reach the finals with pure strength.

For fans, it was a chance to witness his growth. Many people who have been following him since his idol days, such as Shen Meng and Luo Yunqian, felt mixed emotions when they heard this.

"Ever since the first season, only one person has chosen an original song, and it's still sparked quite a bit of discussion online. Is this the same this time?"

Lu Qingfeng answered the second question directly this time.

"Yes, I've had some new insights during this period, and everything I want to say is in the songs."

"One last question, on the final stage, what do you want to say?"

“Give it your all and leave no regrets.”

After the colorful screen ended, Lu Qingfeng walked to the center of the stage and applause broke out again from the audience.

beep!beep!beep!

Three warning tones sounded in succession, indicating that the stage performance officially began.

Lu Qingfeng held the microphone, folded his hands in front of him, and lowered his head slightly.

Woohoo!

The outermost circle of lights above our heads suddenly went out, followed by the second circle, the third circle, and the third circle, until the last three headlights in the center.

The solitary white fox lowered its head, hazy light scattered around it, and darkness filled the surroundings. A heart-wrenching atmosphere surged into the hearts of the audience.

Snapped!

The last headlight flickered and suddenly went out, plunging the stage into complete darkness.

One,

two.

three

……

When everyone at the scene couldn't help but slow down their breathing, the big screen behind the stage lit up, and a line of large, iron-painted and silver-hooked characters caught people's attention.

[It has always been like this, is it right? ]

The picture also appears through the lens in front of everyone gathered in front of the screen.

Some people were stunned, some were confused, and some roughly guessed the meaning of this sentence.

For example, Liang Xiaoshen, one of the judges.

This sentence comes from Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman". In this article, "I" had a conversation with the visitor.

"I" asked the visitor whether "eating people" was right or wrong, and the visitor flatly denied that such a thing existed.

I kept asking and produced evidence. The man couldn't deny it outright, so he just said, "Maybe, it's always been like this..."

"I" said these words.

"It has always been like this, is it right?"

The background of the article's writing is Mr. Lu Xun's exposure of the cruel nature of the feudal etiquette at that time and his questioning of the blind thinking of the masses.

Now that he was being used on this stage, he couldn't help but think of the incident a week ago where someone was leading him online.

In an era of online information overload, highly developed social media is able to influence public opinion, which is very consistent with this statement.

This is borrowing this sentence to respond to the events at that time.

Liang Xiaosheng didn't know whether to praise the person on the stage as a genius or to be petty. He responded in this way repeatedly, which was like adding another layer of dirt to the other party's grave.

Deadly.

By the way, the popularity at that time can also be extended to the stage.

While I was thinking about this, something changed on the stage.

He stopped thinking about it and just focused on appreciating it.

The fonts on the big screen dissipated like smoke, and then formed the song title "Breaking the Cocoon"

On the dark stage, the prelude of the song sounded, with the rich piano sound sounding first, followed by the long string notes wrapping the piano sound and continuing to move forward.

The melody line, which mainly moves in the bass range, creates a heavy atmosphere.

The string group constitutes the main body of the prelude. The vibrato in the treble range of the violin and the bass of the cello form a sharp contrast, giving the listener an epic sense of confrontation between strong and weak.

The lights in the inner circle above the stage suddenly lit up slowly, and Lu Qingfeng's figure appeared in front of everyone. He raised the microphone and sang.

“If you open your eyes in a nightmare and face the cruel world;”

"The wind plucked someone's heartstrings, leaving them nostalgic but unable to say goodbye."

……

The clean tone, low and restrained, with a sense of fatigue, the slowly progressing chords, and the meaningful lyrics, the singer standing on the stage has a suffocating feeling of depression.

“If the only outcome is tragedy, don’t be afraid to break out of your cocoon in the face of adverse winds;”

"Even if the wings are torn apart and return to the nineteenth level of the abyss."

……

Different people will have different thoughts when listening to the same song because of their different moods.

The song "Breaking the Cocoon", sung by Angela Chang in her previous life, is the theme song of a cartoon adapted from a well-known online novel.

The lyrics are mostly consistent with the plot and can be seen as themes of courage, resistance and protection.

The title of the song "Breaking the Cocoon" reflects the spirit of the whole song.

In this world without animation as a premise, the lyrics of this song have a different meaning in the eyes of many people.

Nightmare, cruelty, farewell, tragedy, headwind, tearing, returning to the abyss.

Shen Meng and others immediately thought of the boy's past. If this incident of being led by others to "sell misery" was successful, would he have to go through the same hardships as before?

Their hands clenched into fists, and the images projected on the bar's big screen had a different feeling in their eyes, and the singing continued to come from the speakers.

"Holding your hand, we will move forward, day or night, without stopping;"

"Through time and space, there will be setbacks and heartaches, but we will still fight bravely;"

"That's what a hero is!"

……

As the theme song of a passionate animation, the style of this song is not the kind of painless groaning tune, but the fighting and burning style!

The melody of the main song began to rise, and the second circle of lights above the head turned on, and the light shining on the body gradually became brighter.

The dense drum beats and electric guitar enter, foreshadowing the upcoming explosion with distorted tones.

The vocal range suddenly soars, the strong mixed voice hits the high notes, and the chorus comes.

The voice is as transparent as tears and as hard as diamonds, with an unyielding stubbornness, and the burst of singing is like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

"Look up, chaos and war will never cease;"

“Looking back, you are by my side;”

"Break, the curse of fate;"

“Let the story live on!”
