Chapter 21: 021: The Summer of 2005 Belongs to Super Girl
Li Yuchun’s father naturally supported his daughter.
But from her old father’s wavering tone, Chun-ge felt the immense pressure from Zhang Liangying.
She immediately deflated like a leaky ball, lying on the sofa: “Damn it, what bad luck, this is precarious!”
There was no other way, Zhang Liangying’s paper data was too strong.
Li Yuchun couldn’t think of any way to defeat her for the time being…
Unless, relying on text message votes?
“What a great idea…”
“I have a lot of female fans, and female fans are crazier and more willing to spend money, maybe I’m actually stronger than Zhang Liangying in text message votes…”
…
On television.
Wang Han and You Weiwei walked onto the stage, clapping.
The two sang in harmony.
“Oh my god, that was so good to listen to.”
“I just thought the Queen of the Daughter Country was standing here.”
“Haha, I had the same feeling.”
“Audience friends in the audience, do you have this feeling?”
“Yes!!”
At this time~
Hei Nan commented: “For the two songs, ‘Ambitious Person’ and ‘Daughter Country’, whether it’s composition or performance, they are first-class. I really can’t find any fault. Liangying, you can debut directly.”
Zhang Lu: “My opinion is the same as Teacher Hei Nan’s. You have a naturally good voice, and you also have a genius musician supporting you. I look forward to your even more brilliant performance in the next round.”
Zhang Man: “Regarding the performance just now, I also can’t find any fault. Liangying, I can only give you a two-word evaluation—pleasant to listen to!”
For a song, the two words ‘pleasant to listen to’ are the best evaluation.
Zhang Liangying!
Once again conquered the three judges.
And the Liangfen fans, after hearing these comments, were all immensely satisfied, each holding up their light sticks and waving them.
As for the fans in front of the TV, they were all doing different things.
Some jumped up excitedly on the sofa, some ran back and forth around the living room, some excitedly chugged a bottle of beer, some opened the window and shouted Zhang Liangying’s name, and some were drinking heartily in the factory dormitory…
Some factory owners even organized their employees to watch together.
Everyone supported their idol in their own way.
Amidst everyone’s cheers…
Zhang Liangying happily returned to the rest area to watch He Zuoyan and Ding Ding perform.
The two of them were quite unlucky.
They always performed after Zhang Liangying, and the gap was too obvious.
Moreover, He Zuoyan had always had the nickname ‘pretty vase’, and her singing skills were very average. As soon as she opened her mouth, some audience members frowned.
“What is she singing, the gap is too big.”
“Not even a tenth of Zhang Liangying’s.”
“I feel like she’s going to be eliminated this round.”
“It shouldn’t be her, I feel like No. 04 Zhou Yang also sang ordinarily, they might end up on the PK Stage.”
“…”
The last one, No. 10 Ding Ding, performed a rap and even invited Wang Han to dance alongside her, creating a good atmosphere.
After everyone finished singing, it was time to reveal the text message voting results. The 8 contestants each received a card with either 【 passed 】 or 【 pending 】 written on it.
No. 04 Zhou Yang and No. 10 Ding Ding received pending cards and went to the PK Stage together, awaiting the decision of the 31 public judges.
Among them, 22 public judges cast their support votes for Ding Ding, and 9 voted for Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang was regretfully eliminated.
The live broadcast of the entire event ended with a sense of reluctance.
…
22:46.
Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying left the studio.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they were surrounded by enthusiastic fans. The treatment they received, like celebrities, made the other contestants envious.
That’s how competitions are, the winner takes all.
Zhang Liangying alone occupied more than half of the heat in the Hangzhou Division; other contestants couldn’t compete with her at all.
Facing so many fans for the first time, Zhang Liangying interacted with everyone like a rookie, “Thank you everyone, thank you for your support!”
“Zhang Liangying, keep going, don’t be afraid, charge forward!”
“We support you.”
“Liangying, you’re amazing!”
“Shen Qing, I hope you can keep writing new songs!”
“I really want you guys to debut as a group~”
“…”
It took Shen Qing half an hour to successfully escort Zhang Liangying out of the crowd and hail a taxi straight to the hotel.
The enthusiastic fans chased them for dozens of meters.
Hotel.
Zhang Liangying kicked off her high heels and excitedly jumped onto Shen Qing, “Ahhh, Qing, we won, we’re one step closer to the Hangzhou championship…”
Shen Qing held her by the hips and sat down on the sofa, laughing heartily, “Then do you think it was my credit or your credit?”
Zhang Liangying: “Hehe, of course it’s your credit! I just sang, but you need so much talent to write songs. I’m a dummy, I can’t even write a single line of dialogue.”
Shen Qing: “That’s nice to hear, but actually, your credit is the biggest tonight… If you didn’t sing well, no matter how well I wrote, it would be useless…”
Hearing this, Zhang Liangying’s eyes suddenly turned red.
She hugged Shen Qing’s neck and sobbed:
“Qing, it’s so good to have you.”
“Before, I had to bear everything myself. Now that I have you, I don’t have to think about anything, I just need to sing well… I feel so happy, you treat me as well as my father…”
Shen Qing smiled: “I’m even younger than you~”
Zhang Liangying knelt down by his legs with a plop and licked her red lips, “Hmph, then the night before last you were still whipping my butt with a belt and making me call you Daddy?”
Shen Qing: “Can that be the same?”
…
The next day.
The results of the 10-to-7 competition swept through every corner of Hangzhou like a whirlwind.
The Hangzhou Daily even published detailed reports, clearly stating what songs each contestant sang and what comments the judges made.
The first thing office workers said when they got to their desks was, “Hey, did you watch the competition last night? Zhang Liangying’s ‘Ambitious Person’ was amazing.”
The first thing retired old men and women would ask each other when they went for morning exercises in the park was, “Did you watch last night?”
Students who had the weekend off couldn’t stand the loneliness and secretly ran out to go online, chatting with classmates about Super Girl, discussing Zhang Liangying’s songs and styling.
As for other parts of the country, similar things were happening.
In this era, there were few things that captured everyone’s attention so much.
But Super Girl in 2005 achieved it.
Only those who experienced it can understand—how popular Super Girl was that summer of 2005.
Posters and songs of Super Girl were everywhere, on every street and alley.
And online, Super Girl was even more popular.
The internet brought fans from all over the country together. The number of followers on Zhang Liangying Bar increased from 50,000+ to 200,000+.
In one night, 150,000 new followers.
The bar owner pinned a post, calling on everyone to vote for Zhang Liangying in various ways to help her win the national championship.
…
Meanwhile.
Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying slept until 11 o’clock.
They had partied wildly until one or two in the morning, and both were a bit tired.
Zhang Liangying turned over, and a snow-white leg rested on Shen Qing’s stomach.
Just then, music started playing from the audio store downstairs.
“I begin my beautiful encounter”
“Whether you come from the East or the West”
“It doesn’t matter much”
“I’ll listen to you”
“…”
Zhang Liangying listened for a few sentences, her eyes suddenly widened, “Ah, this… it’s actually ‘Thing’? Isn’t the single supposed to be released next week?”
Shen Qing also woke up.
He gently lifted her with both hands, making her lie on top of him, and said, “As soon as I woke up, I saw you messing with me…”
Zhang Liangying frowned, “No way… it’s you, sleeping… restlessly…”
Shen Qing was about to retort when he was suddenly drawn by the music, “Did I just hear ‘Thing’? And it’s a live version…”
Unbelievable!
The CD hasn’t even been released, and the audio store already has pirated copies.
