Chapter 358 Tribute
The theme of the fifth competition of "Cantonese Singer Contest" is "Salute". This program has at least one classic Cantonese song appearing in each episode, so the ratings have become the hottest not only in the Cantonese-speaking area, but also in the whole country music show.

After all, even though Cantonese is not as popular as Mandarin, but because this language has richer syllables than Mandarin, whether it is reading ancient poems or singing, it sounds more interesting and pleasant, so, for Chinese people , Cantonese is like a second language, not unfamiliar, even if some people can't speak it, but there is no problem listening and singing, especially those Cantonese pop songs in the past, they just open their mouths!
This time, Ning Cheng was able to rush back to China before the filming started, which made Wang Wanning and the others in the show team heave a sigh of relief. When they saw Ning Cheng go to the casino to get engaged on the news, they immediately thought about whether it would affect the show. The problem of filming, after all, he just got engaged and started working right away, which is somewhat impossible, especially for a big guy like Ning Cheng who can be willful.

But fortunately, when they called to inquire, Ning Sheng gave them an affirmative answer, "It won't affect the shooting!".Then, before the fifth filming started, Ning Sheng also showed up on time as scheduled.

Arriving at the scene, Ning Sheng came to the lounge specially prepared for the contestants who had won the title of King of Singers. He was the only one in the past, but now besides Liu Ying, there is also the No. [-] contestant who won the previous round. First-line singer-songwriter Hu Bin.

"(Xiao Sheng) Brother Ning, congratulations!" Liu Ying and Hu Bin both smiled and congratulated Ning Sheng.

Ning Cheng thanked him with a smile, then sat aside and asked the stylist to dress him up. Although he was wearing a mask, he still had to clean it up.

"Brother Ning, you and Brother Xuan chose to get engaged abroad, so will you hold another one in China?" Hu Bin asked familiarly, although he had not received an invitation to attend the engagement ceremony, but out of curiosity, or Longing for that star party, he naturally hoped that Ning Sheng would hold another one in China, and then he would have the opportunity to find a way to participate.

Ning Cheng looked at Hu Bin reflected in the mirror and said, "Brother Xuan and I held the engagement ceremony together to avoid trouble and trouble, and most of the friends in the circle were notified that time, so there is no need to hold another one." .”

"What about your wedding? Will it be held at home and abroad? Can I attend then?" Hu Bin continued to ask.

Ning Cheng was never polite to such acquaintances. Regardless of whether the other party had other intentions, before the relationship reached the level of a friend, Ning Cheng never had any kindness to say to people, "I'm afraid not." , our wedding will not be held in China, and we will not invite friends from the entertainment industry, it is just a gathering between relatives and friends, and we will not organize it in a big way."

Hu Bin was a little embarrassed at once, and then sighed helplessly, "That's such a pity!" On the side, Liu Ying seemed indifferent on the surface, but she was a little disappointed in her heart.

She also learned about the engagement party of Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan from the news. It was really a gathering of superstars and the stars were shining brightly. It is a good place to look for opportunities for a star like her who has status but is declining in popularity.

It's a pity that her self-esteem prevents her from having much friendship with Ning Cheng, the proud son of heaven, especially when she sees Ning Cheng at this time, she always feels inferior, feeling that the times no longer belong to her , So, she even avoided Ning Cheng's scorching sun a little bit.

However, when her manager Liu Zhong reminded her that day, she remembered that the scorching sun is not only dazzling, but also warms your body when you get close to it, and even re-lights up her own world with the hot light of the scorching sun!

Therefore, when Hu Bin said those words to Ning Cheng, Liu Ying actually hoped that Ning Cheng would accept Hu Bin, because only when Ning Cheng accepted Hu Bin, could she participate!

But now it seems that this idea was a dead end from the beginning!

This round of competition still started with the performances of Ning Cheng's three king singers. Both Ning Sheng and Liu Ying won unanimous votes for two and one contestants respectively. Ning Sheng now ranks first with [-] votes, and Liu Ying with seven The votes are ranked second, and this time with Hu Bin's participation, there will be three votes.

First of all, Hu Bin, who received the least number of votes for the performance, has a lot of discussions on the Internet about the theme of "tribute", but there are actually not many songs on this theme, and most of them are either none, or they are high-quality goods or classics.Because the songs under this theme are deeply touched by some creators and moved by the characteristics of the objects they want to pay tribute to, so most of the songs are very moving.

But this time, let the contestants use this as the theme and write songs for the competition. Everyone has no idea what kind of works they will write, especially many people, for fear that the works written by some singers will not only fail to meet The meaning of paying homage is that people will be scolded because the work is too bad.

However, some people think that this theme is very good, because as long as you find someone who you cherish and respect, then when you write songs, your thoughts should be like springs, and many good works will appear.

Then, it's time to witness how these songs are!

Ning Sheng was sitting in the lounge, watching Hu Bin's performance. He was a person with a familiar personality but really good musical ability. In fact, he was about the same age as Ning Sheng. As a first-line singer-songwriter, he The object of tribute is a female doctor who was aided by China in Africa. This is a lady with great love. In order to help refugee children in Africa, she never married in her life, gave up her stable and happy life, and went to Africa alone. He helped those children with his own hands and medical skills, and worked there for more than a dozen years, until he was hit by a stray bullet during an African riot, and he was just 35 years old when he died.

The death of this lady directly caused the two local organizations that were fighting to declare a ceasefire, and held a grand funeral for this lovely and respectable lady together!
Hu Bin composed a heartbreaking and admirable heroic story with a folk song and famous musical instruments such as the erhu!
At the end of the song, Ning Sheng applauded vigorously in the background, even for this respectable doctor, but also for this song by Hu Bin!
When Hu Bin got all seven votes and came back happy, Ning Cheng also smiled and congratulated him. For such a truly talented person, Ning Cheng felt very happy whether he was a fan or a colleague.

Liu Ying's next performance was a bit ordinary compared to Hu Bin's. She paid tribute to a foreign musician who called for peace. This musician who called for peace was killed in his home by a nanny who stole money. It was also an event that shocked the world, but for this musician, Chinese people don't have a deep feeling, and the song is really not very good, so Liu Ying's performance won five votes in the end.

Finally, it was Ning Sheng's turn to play, and the person Ning Sheng wanted to pay tribute to was an African leader.

The father of this great man is African-American, and his mother is African. His parents met in the United States at the time. At that time, the black people in the United States were in a state of turmoil. His father helped out of compassion and was beaten into a coma. The black girl on the corner of the street, and then his father took the black girl in as a shelter until his father was about to return to China, the two finally felt the love for each other, so they combined, with this son.

He was born in China and grew up in China. Everything went well at first, but after his father and mother passed away due to illness, he decided to visit his other hometown, Africa.

Then, he saw the miserable life of the African people there, from then on, he was determined to fight for these poor people, until his death, he gave speeches and struggles in Africa for more than 50 years, and finally contributed to the freedom of black compatriots in Africa At the same time, he became the most famous black leader in the world, loved and revered by countless people, and his death was reported by nearly a hundred countries in the world.

The song Ning Sheng chose is still the song of the BEYOND band. Their classic "Glorious Years" was made for Nelson Mandela, a black leader in Ning Sheng's last life. Ning Sheng used this song to pay tribute to another man who lived with Mandela sat out the same thing as a black leader, and it couldn't be more fitting.

The content of the lyrics of this song is inspirational, and the melody of the song is easy to pop.When listening to "Glorious Days", a cry from a rebellious youth to a torch of freedom makes people feel emotional involuntarily. It is a kind of shock from the soul, which makes people in adversity seem to see a glimmer of hope. make people involuntarily strong

The person Ning Sheng wanted to pay tribute to was introduced on the big screen with signboards and subtitles one after another, and when the last photo was frozen on that smiling face, a voice echoed as if from ancient times.

The prelude of the whole song is driven by the heavy melody of the guitar under the beat of the rhythm, like a long picture scroll slowly opened in front of you!

The bell rings the signal to go home

in his life

as if a little sad
The meaning of black skin to him

It's a lifelong dedication to the battle of skin color
Years turn possession into loss

tired eyes with hope
Today there are only remnants of the husk

Welcome to the glorious years
Hold tight to freedom in the wind and rain

A lifetime of struggle
Confidence can change the future

Ask who can do it——
Ning Sheng's voice was like an ancient trumpet, blowing close to people's ears, bringing the audience back to the unfamiliar story, even for Mandela or the black leader of this world The deeds are not clear at all, but when you listen to this song, you will understand what kind of people they are!

When Ning Sheng finished his performance and won applause from the audience and seven votes from all the contestants, many people on the Internet began to discuss the deeds of the black leader that Ning Sheng paid tribute to. The story of this black leader, thinking of the lyrics just now, really has a sense of the sacredness of witnessing history and looking through history.

Ning Cheng returned to the backstage, Liu Ying had already left first, and Hu Bin came up to him and said, "Brother Ning, your performance is really great, I like it so much, in fact, I have always regarded you as my idol, look Do you have time, let me treat you to a meal, let's discuss music creation, how about it?"

Although Ning Cheng was embarrassed to get angry at a person who greeted him with a smiling face, he would not agree to it because of the other party's enthusiasm.

"Sorry, I have to go back in a hurry, let's talk later when I have time." Ning Cheng put it away and left directly.

Hu Bin watched Ning Cheng leave, returned to the lounge alone, and said to his assistant in a self-deprecating manner, "A big guy is a big guy, from Liu Ying, who has passed away, to Ning Cheng, a superstar who is not doing business properly, They all look down on us low-level people!"

The round-faced assistant wearing glasses whispered, "Maybe it's their natural personality. I heard that Liu Tianhou and Ning Tianwang are usually cold to people."

Hu Bin glanced at the little assistant and said, "What do you know, isn't that so-called indifference just to look down on people? If I were a superstar like them, or a big guy like a movie king, see if they would see it." So nonchalant!"

The little assistant thought for a while and said, "Ning Cheng is not that kind of person, he's just not good at socializing. If Brother Hu and Ning Cheng become friends after getting acquainted, Ning Sheng will not be like this, just like Yuan Jieying, she just has to give Second-tier actors, but they are good friends with Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan."

Hu Bin chuckled and said, "Do you believe those outside media reports? Even Ning Cheng and Ding Xuan told reporters that Yuan Jieying was their friend, but in reality? Friends? I think it's almost as if they are lovers!"

Seeing the little assistant's horrified expression, Hu Bin said triumphantly, "So, you are still young, and you are not familiar with this circle. You don't have any good friends in this circle. It's just that you use me, and I use you." Forget it, the so-called good friends are people who use each other to gain benefits together, can you see what benefits Ning Cheng and Ding Xuan can get from Yuan Jieying?"

Hu Bin laughed and said, "Apart from compensation, what else can she use for big names like Ning Cheng and Ding Xuan? Ah? Think about it, don't you?"

The little assistant said in disbelief, "But Ning Chen and Ding Xuan are also friends?"

Hu Bin sighed and said, "You are really elm-headed, you don't even think about it, the two of them are in the same company, and they used to be in the same group, the two of them working together is to give a good topic, besides, Ning Sheng's development focus is obviously constantly changing Turning to the film and television industry, he is obsessed with being a director, and Ding Xuan, a big-name and easy-to-use actor, is his best actor. Think about it, how many of Ning Sheng's works have Ding Xuan starred in? The two of them use The other party's identity as a director enters the film and television industry, and one uses the other party's identity as an actor to familiarize himself with the director's work, this is not mutual use, what is it?"

Seeing that the little assistant was a little speechless, Hu Bin continued to sigh, "It means that my status is low now, and I have nothing to be used by Ning Cheng, that's why he is so cold, but he can't find anyone who can use me." But there are too many places in him that I can use. Do you really like to lean on him when I am shameless? I just want to build a relationship with him, even if I go out for a meal with him, As long as someone is photographed, with the paparazzi in the media who like to make up stories, I will make up a lot of stories for us, enough to increase my exposure a lot!"

Hu Bin talked with the little assistant for a while in the lounge, and then he got up and left in satisfaction. After they left for a while, the bathroom in the lounge was suddenly opened from the inside, and a man with a happy face fiddled with his mobile phone. The staff came out.
