This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 209 Mother's Waiting

After realizing this, the judges started whispering among themselves.

Writing two songs on the same theme, Lu Ran is deliberately making things difficult for himself.

Audiences will definitely compare these two songs.

Most importantly, Lai Ho-Yui's song "Bicycle" is considered by many to be a rare masterpiece among Cantonese songs about family affection.

Even if we consider Mandarin songs in the broader music scene, it is still a masterpiece.

This song doesn't have any exciting moments, and Li Haorui's performance is very restrained.

This restraint perfectly matches the emotions the song wants to express.

Most fatherly love, like the emotions expressed in this song, carries a hint of restraint.

This treatment, combined with the melody, makes the song very listenable.

These are the kinds of songs you can put in your playlist, listen to slowly with headphones, and enjoy them more and more the more you listen.

The judge next to Hu Nengkai asked, "What do you think of the bicycle? How does it compare to Ye Zhenzhen and Han Ye?"

The judges completely ignored Fu Ziheng.

Fu Ziheng's performance is not even up to par with Lu Ran's, let alone Li Haorui's.

Moreover, even without considering the songs, Li Haorui's singing skills far surpass Fu Ziheng's.

Li Haorui's voice is very distinctive, while Fu Ziheng's voice is not.

He's the kind of singer you can't identify from his voice.

This situation is quite common among newcomers in the music scene today.

For example, the boy group FKL7.

There were seven people singing inside, and it was impossible to tell who sang which line of lyrics.

Hu Nengkai pondered for a few seconds: "I think she's better than Ye Zhenzhen, but slightly inferior to Han Ye."

The judge next to him nodded: "I think so too."

In the small room backstage.

Cai Jiasheng looked at Li Quan, his face extremely grim.

"That bastard Mu Yong not only let Lu Ran perform, but also let singers from Lu Ran's studio perform. He has no shame at all!"

Before Lu Ran could even make a move, his general Li Haorui instantly killed Fu Ziheng. What was the point of playing anymore?

Cai Jiasheng chuckled and said, "Lu Ran's creative ability is really good."

It's not just good, it's excessively strong.

Li Quan said calmly, "That's fine."

Cai Jiasheng didn't say anything more and lit another cigarette for himself.

"It all depends on Lu Ran's performance."

This performance determined his future arrangements for Fu Ziheng.

In the singer's waiting room, Lu Ran received a notification from the staff.

He got up and left the waiting room, going first to the preparation room next door.

A staff member asked, "Lu Ran, the song you wrote for Li Haorui is about fatherly love. Is the song you wrote for yourself about motherly love?"

Lu Ran: "Yes, it's about maternal love."

What do you think are the differences between fatherly love and motherly love?

Lu Ran thought for a few seconds: "I once read a sentence in a book: 'Mom will put the best food in your bowl, but Dad will just not eat the food in that bowl.'"

Upon hearing Lu Ran's answer, the staff in the preparation room fell into deep thought.

A staff member walked in from outside and asked, "Is it ready?"

The girl who asked the question then realized what she was doing and hurriedly asked, "One last question, is there anything you'd like to say to the audience?"

Lu Ran: "Then I wish everyone's parents good health and a long life."

After the interview was over, Lu Ran walked to the stage aisle.

On stage, Mu Yong announced, "I won't go into too much detail about the last singer to come on stage. Please welcome Lu Ran to give us his performance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the stage lights went out.

Only the dim lights remained in the studio, illuminating the faces of the audience.

The music that everyone expected did not play.

Instead, a picture appeared on the big screen.

After this scene appeared, Ning Sirou said to Wang Ying, "Mom, this is a public service advertisement I filmed for Lu Ran."

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Mom knows."

Both of them spoke very softly, so as not to disturb those around them.

Everyone present stared curiously at the big screen.

The show has already started, why hasn't Lu Ran come on stage yet?

Is this going to be a short video for everyone?

The scene shows an open space with houses and trees behind it.

There was also a huge propaganda poster standing behind it that read "Learn from Lei Feng, a good example."

In the open space, a young woman wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and long skirt, with her hair tied in a ponytail, stood looking to the left of the scene, as if waiting for something.

On the right side of the image, there is a sentence written: "What is love?"

One by one, children wearing red scarves ran past in the scene. After the group of children had passed, a little boy carrying a schoolbag came up to the young woman.

The young woman bent down, took the little boy's schoolbag, and then mischievously turned and ran away.

The little boy stretched out his hands and chased after the young woman.

The background music is a female singer humming, which sounds very warm and comforting.

The screen moves to the right.

A young woman is playing games with a little boy.

A line of text appeared on the screen.

"Love is simply wanting you to be happy."

After playing for a while, the little boy ran to the left and the young woman ran to the right.

The camera then follows the young woman.

Some audience members recognized the actresses in the photos.

"Holy crap? It's Ning Sirou in the role?"

As you can see from the picture, it shows a young mother waiting for her child to get out of school, and then playing with her child after school.

As the mother walked forward, she glanced back at the direction the little boy had gone.

The mother took a few more steps forward, and a tall boy wearing a red scarf caught up with her.

The boy has grown quite a bit taller and is playing and frolicking with his mother.

The difference is that before, it was the little boy chasing his mother, but this time, the older boy is running, and it's the mother chasing the child.

Another line of text appeared on the screen.

"Love is walking with you for a lifetime."

The entire audience in the studio was watching the big screen with rapt attention.

Even singers who have already finished performing are no exception.

As everyone can see, this video is about mothers and family relationships.

The screen then moved to the right again.

In the video, the mother and her son are resting on the spot, their hands supporting their knees, panting heavily.

My mother is no longer young.

The actress who plays this older mother is Xi Meixia.

After resting for a while, the older mother got up and continued on her way.

A line of text reappeared on the screen.

"Love is about not regretting the passing of youth."

She is not as fast as before, and her walking movements are not as agile.

As she walked, a tall figure appeared beside her.

He was a boy who had grown into a young man.

He is already taller than his mother.

He smiled and walked forward with his mother, who raised her hand and pulled the scarf that had fallen off his neck behind him.

Another line of text appeared.

"Your soaring flight is my comfort."

The young man glanced back at his mother; he had already outpaced her.

His mother held onto his scarf, which grew longer and longer until it finally broke free from her grasp.

The camera follows the young man as he moves forward.

The mother's figure disappeared from the frame.

When a few leaves obscured the view and the young man reappeared, he had changed his attire, adopting a more mature look.

This indicates that the child has already started working.

He turned around and looked behind him.

Behind her, in front of a poster promoting the good example of Lei Feng, stood an elderly mother with white hair.

She gazed in the direction the child had gone.

Another group of children wearing red scarves ran across the screen.

The elderly mother looked back to her left once again.

It's just like when she was young, standing here waiting for her children to get out of school.

A line of text reappeared on the left side of the screen.

"Love is waiting patiently."

In the scene, the mother's figure gradually fades away until it disappears from the picture.

The video also ends here.

Four large characters appeared on the big screen.

"I Really Love You"
