When Hu Zhixuan turned back to look at his votes, his shocked and surprised expression was absolutely unfeigned.
He was truly dumbfounded by the soaring number of votes.
However, considering his stable performance just now, and the fact that this song was still Su Yu's, it was not surprising to see such a development.
The moment Hu Zhixuan's vote count was revealed, countless people were stunned.
43,451 votes!
Hu Zhixuan's votes for this round actually surpassed Xie Jie, who was temporarily in first place, putting him in the top position.
This was a result no one dared to imagine before Hu Zhixuan took the stage.
They went crazy; at this moment, countless netizens were all in a frenzy.
The so-called 'prophet' from earlier was now being dragged out and relentlessly ridiculed, because no one could have predicted such a result in advance.
And since Hu Zhixuan was now temporarily in first place, what about Han Zhuoma later? Was Han Zhuoma in danger?
As this semi-final progressed, all the results seemed to become increasingly confusing.
Who would advance in the end? How could anyone guess?
However, what could be confirmed now was that Hu Zhixuan would definitely secure one of the four advancement spots.
At this moment, Wang Shan's expression had changed from solemn to ferocious, because he smelled a conspiracy.
He felt that everyone in this round was targeting him! And it was a targeted attack led by Su Yu, who wasn't even present!
If he wasn't mistaken, the song Han Zhuoma would perform later should also be Su Yu's work!
Wang Shan's guess proved accurate this time; when Han Zhuoma confidently took the stage and the song information appeared on the big screen, the live audience and the livestream all seemed to be on the verge of madness and paralysis.
Because what they saw was:
"that sea"
Lyrics, Music, Arrangement: Su Yu
Vocals: Han Zhuoma
Wang Shan's heart felt as if it had died at this moment, and He Wei of Jusha Entertainment, who had been watching the livestream, also felt numb, as if he were a wooden chicken.
If Su Yu's works appearing one after another in the semi-finals were a series of pleasant surprises for the audience and netizens, then for him and Jusha Entertainment, it was one humiliating attack after another.
No matter how slow Wang Shan and He Wei were, they now understood that this semi-final was entirely Su Yu's revenge against them!
It was revenge for their joint suppression of "foam" with several major entertainment companies at the beginning of the month!
However, the bitter fruit was of their own making, and now Su Yu was humiliating them by forcing this bitter fruit into their mouths.
At this moment, He Wei even felt a sense of powerlessness.
It was simply because Su Yu, such a high-quality and prolific genius lyricist and composer, made them hesitant to act.
Perhaps after tonight, Tianxing Entertainment would completely solidify its position as the leader in the Chinese music market.
As long as Su Yu's creative inspiration didn't dry up, they might never have a chance to defeat him again.
And Han Jianhua also thought of this point at this time; the smile on his face was incredibly radiant.
Moreover, Han Jianhua felt that Tianxing Entertainment was truly lucky to have been able to sign Su Yu, this precious talent, at the earliest opportunity.
Of course, what Han Jianhua was most emotional about was actually the foresight of his daughter, Han Jiangxue!
Because Han Jiangxue played the biggest role in Su Yu's smooth entry into Tianxing Entertainment.
He didn't say anything, but listened to Han Zhuoma's singing.
"【Tell me, will this night have me?
Is it that besides me, you have someone else in your heart?
Is it that she is gentler than me, better at making you happy than me?
I want you to answer easily.】"
The moment Han Zhuoma's singing came out, everyone was a little confused, because it was actually a love song!
It should be known that Han Zhuoma hadn't sung love songs for a long time, because her voice always made people feel a sense of detachment.
This time, Su Yu actually wrote a love song for Han Zhuoma; wasn't this a bit too daring?
However, Su Yu's first two songs tonight had already given them enough shock, so no one would easily draw any conclusions at this moment.
"【Tell me, will this night dream of me?
Is it that in my dreams, I no longer make you sad?
Is it that she is stronger than me, better at making you happy than me?
I want you to answer clearly.】"
Although there were no high notes in the verse, Han Zhuoma's singing gave people a feeling of stability, yet with a hidden power.
It was as if the early part was all a prelude to the later sections, just for a stunning burst after the build-up.
As expected, in the transitional part, Han Zhuoma's singing began to rise.
"【The once eternal vows, in a blink of an eye, ascended to the heavens.
Why think again, why speak again, of that karmic connection?
The once sorrowful loneliness, in a blink of an eye, ascended to the heavens.
Why think again, why speak again, of that winter?】"
Other people's love songs gave a feeling of sadness or regret.
But Han Zhuoma's love song made them feel the freedom in her voice, and that strong sense of 'don't think a love injury can hurt me forever'.
What regret? What pain? What sadness? They did not exist for Han Zhuoma!
And the next moment, Han Zhuoma's terrifying high note struck, directly shocking the entire venue.
"【You see the flowers have withered, you see the sea has cried.
You know I will forever and ever, wait for your answer.】"
Indeed, even sadness must be sung loudly and clearly.
And Han Zhuoma's high notes also gave a very stable, very reassuring feeling.
As if there was never any need to worry about her not being able to hit the note.
At this moment, this needed to be enjoyed!
"【Let us forget that sea, let us start anew in the next life.
Let us be together for all eternity, never to be separated again.】"
When this lyric came out, many people finally understood why Han Zhuoma sang this song with such a free and easy demeanor.
Because the person she was waiting for was no longer there!
And the high note in this line also gave countless people goosebumps; it was simply too high, and the voice was too clear.
This feeling was completely different from Hu Zhixuan's two distinct styles.
As expected of the national team, truly formidable!
Perhaps all the previous setbacks were just missing a song given to her by Su Yu?
Otherwise, what would other singers have to do with it?
"【You see the flowers have withered,
You see the sea has cried.
...
Forever and ever, never to be separated again.
Never separated, never separated.】"
Two consecutive chorus sections, each with stronger high notes than the last, and each employing more intense and rich emotions.
Countless people were stunned, numb!
As Han Zhuoma's singing drew to a close and her voice returned to calm, the feeling of wistful loss grew increasingly intense.
Earlier, some people were worried that Han Zhuoma wouldn't be able to follow Hu Zhixuan's "no breath taken" stage. What about now?
One can only say there's no strongest, only stronger!
