I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 167 - Boundless Sea and Sky Stuns the Crowd

Panda Novel

Everyone’s life was filled with ups and downs. That was like a person walking in the desert aimlessly, without any signs of hope.

They have all put in the effort, fought for their dreams, yet the desert would bear no fruit for them.

I spread my wings, but the wind falls silent…

It was just the opening of the song, yet many felt a shiver run through them, their tear ducts on the verge of bursting.

They witnessed their life before them.

Impactful!

Classic!

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoyan continued.

“My silver lining was not looking back.

I finally realized oasis exists…”

So oasis does exist in the desert. Those that toiled with their sweat would be rewarded by a new hope!

In the next instant, the music reached a climax, just like a person in despair rejoicing at the sight of hope, passion, and moving!

“Boundless sea and sky! It comes after courage.

“Break the chains of fate, with your determination!

“To the apathetic people.

“Thank you for your condescension.

“For granting an exciting life with my head held high…”

Silence!

The entire hall stopped breathing.

They dared not make a sound, afraid that it might ruin the atmosphere.

They were deeply immersed in the song, unable to back out of it.

That included the judges and Director Zhou!

Everyone there came out from the desert!

They had gone through disappointments, lived through despair, and finally found their oasis!

Boundless sea and sky, truly boundless!

In that instant, the dam broke, moving them to tears.

That song brought out the inner voice within all the listeners!

“To those who understood me,

Thank you for your silent comfort.

It gave me a good tale to share.

Welcoming the approaching future.”

The song finally ended.

After a full five minute, the emcee finally recovered from his daze. He quickly got on the stage with a mic.

“My apologies, I was dazed earlier, too deeply immersed in the song. However, I believe that everyone here can understand how I felt.”

With a humorous tone in his voice, he brought the audience back to attention.

“Hahaha, I feel you. I almost got dragged in too.”

“Sob sob sob, it’s so wonderful, so touching…oh no, give me a moment to cry this out…”

“To the apathetic people, thank you for your condescension! Chen Xiaoyan, all the best!”

“Damn it, we’ve all met someone with a superiority complex. That’s right, I need to thank them for their condescension! That’s my motivation!”

“Welcoming the approaching future! Sob sob sob, that last sentence is so well put!”

“To be honest, I was originally despairing, but now I’m filled with hope!”

“I agree, me too! I’m just filled with motivation!”

Boundless Sea and Sky!

There was no need for any retort as that song itself was the retort to Hong Na!

It had similarly showcased Chen Xiaoyan’s struggles, and finally her success!

The apathetic people were beyond a doubt aimed at Hong Na!

“Next we’ll have the judges present the scores,” said the emcee.

The noises died down immediately. Although the results were clear, they all wanted to hear the judges’ comments on the song.

After a moment of silence, Brother Haha picked up his mic and coughed, clearing his throat, “Let me begin.”

“I’m unable to comment on this song as I was crying when I heard it!” Brother Haha rubbed his eyes after commenting. One could see the moisture on his face. “As for the results, I believe you don’t need me to tell you.”

With that, he placed his palm down and a red tick appeared!

“This song is wonderful! Definitely a classic! At the same time, Chen Xiaoyan has fully displayed her skills for us. Flawless!” Wang Qing commented, similarly giving her a red tick!

Yan Kun instead began with a red tick, then said jokingly, “I believe everyone is satisfied with this result? If I don’t give her a tick I’m afraid the audience might shout me to death.”

Next was Hong Na’s turn.

All eyes were focused on her, with a touch of mockery.

When witnessing the success of others, how would that ‘apathetic person’ react?

Hong Na’s expression showed a mixture of envy and fear, but she managed to take a deep breath, then said, “Your skills are barely passable for a singer, but your personality is yet to be determined. I’ll stick to my past judgment!”

With that, a red X lit up!

“Damn it! Is this granny f*cking stupid?!”

“Personality? How is someone like this fit to talk about personality? We should thank her! If not for her provocations, Y might not have shown himself.”

“F*ck me! You’re right! It’s because of her that I can hear such a wonderful song!”

“Y is amazing. Such a genius! He wrote Boundless Sea and Sky in just one morning!”

“That’s right, and it matches the scene so well. Truly amazing!”

The second round of competition ended, with only five contestants making it into the next round.

At the same time, the backstage was just as lively as the mainstage itself.

All the crew was livid. Even the Director was apart from himself in excitement!

“The ratings hit 3.6!” Director Zhou held onto the charts with his shaking hands, tears of joy flowing from his eyes.

That was the record high rating for a variety show!

Moreover, it completely towered over other channels!

All that was because of one song by Y!

Legendary!

Dreamlike!

He was at a loss for words.

Right then, Little Li rushed in with another form, “Director Zhou! Our show’s replay rate has reached 87 percent!”

“What?!”

Another big surprise that almost blew his mind.

Replay rate was another important factor.

Nowadays smart TVs are everywhere. The replay function is a must.

Under normal circumstances, a replay rate of 40 percent was already considered a heavenly figure. However, the current replay rate managed to hit 87 percent!

Epic!

That was not just a heavenly figure. It was a heaven-defying figure!

“Are…are you sure?” Director Zhou’s voice was trembling.

“We have checked it five times! 100 percent sure!” Little Li was also crying tears of joy. “However, the part that is being replayed is only Chen Xiaoyan’s Boundless Sea and Sky!”

“Director Zhou, our official Weibo account for China’s Top Voice is going crazy with activity!” Another crew member rushed in to deliver the news.

In such a short time, their official Weibo had reached a million comments, with countless mentions and private messages! All of them urged the TV station to quickly produce a recording of Boundless Sea and Sky.

The masses were planning to play this song on an endless loop!

Another crew member rushed in excitedly, “Director Zhou, various music platforms are sending us messages hoping for us to have Chen Xiaoyan contact them. They want to play her song on their platform!”

One by one, the news almost drove Director Zhou crazy. He paced around in a hurry, then said, “Go contact Chen Xiaoyan as soon as possible. Tell her that we’re interested in discussing her music copyrights and collaboration. The price can be negotiated! Remember to be respectful!”
