"With my final stubbornness,
I hold my hands tight, never letting go.
Is the next stop paradise?
Even if disappointed, I cannot despair.
With my proud stubbornness,
I sing loudly in the wind.
This time, I'll go crazy for myself,
Just this once, it's me and my stubbornness!!"
Gong Ju Ren sang with emotion.
On stage, he clenched his fists, veins bulging on his neck.
His entire face was flushed red from the exertion.
It was precisely because of his dedicated performance
that the chorus perfectly showcased its power.
"My scalp is tingling!"
"The notes in this song aren't high, why does it feel like listening to a high-pitched rendition?"
"Although this is my first time hearing this song, the chorus makes me want to sing along!"
"Damn it, I'm fired up!"
"I need Boruto to cool me down..."
The audience below was also stirred by the song.
The song's style was rock-infused,
making it perfect for a live performance.
The sensation of blood flowing through the body, the tingling, was more exhilarating than running several kilometers!
After a brief interlude,
the second verse arrived.
"To those who love me, don't be nervous,
My stubbornness is kind,
The dirtier my hands,
The brighter my eyes shine.
You, don't care about my past,
You saw my wings,
You said only after being burned by fire can a phoenix emerge."
The audience's emotions were completely ignited by these lyrics!
Especially the line, "The dirtier my hands, the brighter my eyes shine."
It exploded in everyone's minds!
The imagery it evoked
was like seeing someone drenched in sweat, toiling under the scorching sun, moving goods.
There was no fatigue in his eyes, only hope for the future.
He might bow his head for his dreams for a moment, stoop for his dreams.
But as long as he held onto his dreams, his bowed head would rise again!
His stooped back would straighten once more!
And the line about the phoenix emerging after being burned by fire responded to the preceding lyrics.
Perseverance,
that was the message the song conveyed.
"The direction against the wind,
Is more suitable for flying,
I fear not thousands blocking my way,
Only fearing my own surrender!"
Boom!
Even as he was still singing on stage,
the entire audience erupted in countless excited shouts!
They wildly waved their cheering props.
The passion in their hearts was completely awakened.
Such firm conviction!
No wonder the song was called "Stubbornness."
Perhaps only by pursuing stubbornness to its extreme could one possess the resolve to face a million obstacles!
To swim against the tide, and soar to the highest heavens!
As long as I don't surrender, millions cannot stop me!
In the singer's section.
Du Chun Sheng, Gong Ju Ren's opponent for this episode, stared blankly at Gong Ju Ren performing with all his heart on stage.
He felt a pang of envy.
Envy that he could sing Ting Yu's songs.
The feeling, the moment it arose, was suppressed by him.
Ting Yu is the enemy!
That's right, he's the enemy, how could I have such thoughts!
"With my final stubbornness,
I hold my hands tight, never letting go..."
Gong Ju Ren held the microphone.
He walked to the edge of the stage,
stepping onto the speaker.
He leaned back slightly,
fully releasing the emotions within him.
At this moment, he no longer cared about technique.
He just wanted to use the most powerful notes to convey the song's spirit of stubbornness to everyone.
Below the stage.
The audience dutifully waved their support signs and glow sticks.
The scattered lights, swaying rhythmically,
coupled with the deafening accompaniment, ignited the passion within.
Sweat soaked his hair, dripping from the ends, but Gong Ju Ren ignored it. He held the microphone, pouring all his strength into the performance.
"Just this once, let me sing aloud!
Lalala...
..."
Gong Ju Ren extended the microphone with his right hand, raised his left hand high, extended his index finger, and swayed it in the air with the rhythm.
He tilted his head back and closed his eyes.
The chorus singers on the band, seeing this, quickly understood and joined in the harmony while accompanying, leading the entire audience.
To sing along together!
At this moment, everyone stood up from their seats,
singing "la" along with Gong Ju Ren!
The charm of a live performance is to stir the audience's emotions,
to let them sing along to the song with abandon.
Gong Ju Ren's move,
undoubtedly set the audience ablaze!!!
"Damn, when did this kid learn this move?" Zhou Tao exclaimed in surprise.
"So cool!" Jiang Xiao E had to admit that at this moment, Gong Ju Ren was the most dazzling focus of the entire venue.
"This kind of stage control has a touch of a superstar." Even Lin Yan Yu pursed her lips and chuckled softly.
They recognized Gong Ju Ren's growth in his singing skills,
and also his steadily strengthening stage presence.
It was hard to imagine how much he had grown in just a few months.
This song wasn't difficult in terms of singing technique; the challenge lay in grasping the emotion within the song.
And Gong Ju Ren had clearly achieved it, interpreting the song's stubbornness with his own understanding!
He worked so hard!
This was the thought on everyone's mind at that moment.
He wasn't some prodigy, but just as the song sang, he had grown to this point step by step, with his pride and stubbornness!
Suddenly.
The accompaniment stopped abruptly!
Gong Ju Ren's movement halted sharply.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Bathed in the light, his eyes sparkled.
"Gong Ju Ren! Gong Ju Ren!"
"Gong Ju Ren! Gong Ju Ren! Gong Ju Ren!..."
"..."
On site, countless people chanted his name.
From a scattered beginning, it gradually became synchronized.
Finally, it surged like a tidal wave, the sound rising and falling!
It lasted for about twenty seconds.
Gong Ju Ren brought the microphone to his lips.
"Just this once, it's me and my stubbornness..."
The final line,
a perfect a cappella,
brought the song to a complete close!
The vulnerability shown after an emotional outburst is the most touching.
After the a cappella, the band immediately joined in with the song's outro,
pushing the atmosphere to its final crescendo!
Gong Ju Ren gasped for breath, tears welling up in his eyes finally sliding down his cheeks.
A sense of release spread through his entire body.
With misty eyes, he turned to look at Su Yu.
A look of relief spread across his lips.
"Brother Yu, I did it..."
Yes, he had done it.
His singing skills weren't outstanding among singers like Su Yu.
But this live performance was more perfect than expected.
After receiving this song, he realized that to perform it well required strong stage presence, and he spent sleepless nights watching live videos of superstars to learn their stagecraft.
Just like the song "Qian Du Bai Du" last time, to understand its meaning, he spent a fortune to hire experts in ancient culture to interpret it for him.
He treated every song by Su Yu with utmost seriousness.
All of this was what led to his current impressive performance!
He, Gong Ju Ren, had not let Brother Yu down, and had taken a step closer to his dream!
