At this moment, the song's information also appeared on the big screen—"a thousand miles away."
It was another instance where only the song title was displayed, making many people feel that there must be a surprise prepared by Su Yu following this song!
However, before anyone could ponder further, Su Yu's singing had already spread.
"【The eaves are like cliffs, the wind chimes like a vast sea, I await the swallows' return.
Time is arranged, to stage an accident, you quietly depart.】"
The first impression the lyrics gave was that the vibe was right!
That indescribable charm and beauty truly couldn't be written by just any lyricist.
And as the lyrics slowly unfolded, an antique, highly period-specific scene also appeared before the audience's eyes.
It brought them back to that very vintage era.
On stage, Su Yu's singing continued.
"【The story is outside the city, the thick fog won't disperse, obscuring the dialogue.
You can't hear, the message doesn't exist, it is I who sighs.】"
Su Yu's singing began to gradually rise, and the emotions within his voice also grew richer.
In fact, many audience members and netizens felt that this song should be accompanied by an MV to truly grasp the story expressed in the lyrics and singing.
However, considering it was a live broadcast and the production time was so short, an MV had probably become a fantasy.
"【When the dream awakens, who is at the window sill,
Opening the ending.
That future, as thin as a cicada's wing,
Cannot withstand anyone tearing it apart~! 】"
Just as Su Yu finished singing this section, the lights on his stage suddenly went out, and a beam of light suddenly shone on the other side of the stage!
There was an incredibly retro small stage in a singing hall, as if instantly pulling everyone's memories back to the Shanghai of the 1920s and 30s.
Goodness! Su Yu truly had a surprise prepared for everyone!
When everyone clearly saw who was standing on the small stage, for a moment they didn't know how to describe their feelings.
"Fei Qing?! It's actually Fei Qing!"
"Amazing, how did they come up with such an imaginative combination?"
"A surprise! This surprise is really too impactful, it is just that their styles don't match!"
"You can always trust Su Shen!!"
"......"
Just as netizens were furiously discussing, Fei Qing had already walked to the microphone stand, his head slightly raised, and his clear, high-pitched, yet retro and sophisticated singing filled the entire venue!
"【I send you away a thousand miles away, you are silent, black and white.
In a silent era, perhaps it should not be, love too far apart.
I send you away beyond the ends of the earth, are you still there.
Whence comes the sound of the zither, life and death are hard to guess, waiting for a lifetime.】"
The moment Fei Qing's chorus spread throughout the venue, countless people felt goosebumps all over!
Because the two of them had completely different vocal lines and singing styles, when Fei Qing's singing suddenly emerged, it truly gave everyone a huge surprise!
That retro-sounding voice was truly beautiful and so enjoyable.
Backstage, Chu Ming, China's Ace Composer, nearly had his eyes pop out.
Goodness, he truly only wanted to say goodness.
Such a combination and such a design were truly beyond his wildest imagination.
Moreover, the production team's confidentiality work was incomparable to that of the other Four Nations.
Even though he was a Chinese contestant, he had no idea that Su Yu had created such a stage!
A cross-temporal collaboration between the music scene's newly rising pop king and an evergreen of the music scene?
This was simply too amazing!
Furthermore, Fei Qing on stage gave off the feeling of a storyteller; he seemed to be narrating the story of this period of time with his voice.
Such a design was incredibly powerful.
And when the interlude ended, Su Yu's singing came in once more, pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality.
"【Hearing tears, I enter the forest to find white pear blossoms,
Only a line of green moss remains.
The sky is beyond the mountains, rain falls on the flower terrace,
My temples are streaked with grey.
......
I await you.】"
And then Fei Qing's singing returned, causing two completely different voices to once again intertwine and spark!
"【A body of glazed white, transparent with dust,
Your flawless love.
You came from the rain, poeticizing sorrow,
I am drenched in the present.】"
Watching the old and young man on stage, alternately singing this beautiful and melodious song, many people were momentarily lost in thought.
They truly had not expected that such a chemical reaction could occur between Su Yu and Fei Qing!
It was simply unbelievable!
At this moment, Su Yu's singing came again.
"【Lotus flowers picked from the water, the boat's shadow still remains,
But you do not return.
Covered by years, the blooming you spoke of,
The past becomes a blank~】"
Afterward, the two sang line by line, each with a different style, yet perfectly compatible and harmonious, truly astounding many industry insiders.
As for the Chinese audience and netizens, at this point they were already speechless.
This stage, in their eyes, was simply phenomenal!
"【I send you away beyond the ends of the earth,
Are you still there? Whence comes the sound of the zither?
Life and death are hard to guess, with a lifetime, to wait.】"
It was not until the two of them sang the final chorus together, perfectly blending their two voices into one, that this song, which had given everyone an immense surprise, finally concluded.
And at this moment, the venue was already filled with thunderous applause!
Chu Daye, Chris, Kailina! At this moment, they had long been thrown to the back of their minds.
After Su Yu and Fei Qing exchanged glances on stage, they both smiled and bowed in acknowledgment, then waved as they exited the stage, watched by everyone.
This unexpected performance was truly an exceptionally wonderful experience for Fei Qing.
The last time the two met at the Golden Melody Awards, Su Yu promised that if there was a suitable song for him in the future, he would consider a collaboration.
Fei Qing had heard about Su Yu and knew that he would not easily make promises; whatever he said, he would certainly do.
So, after returning, Fei Qing was not anxious; instead, he happily watched Su Yu dominate the Four Nations Concert!
But as he watched, he received a call from Su Yu, asking if he was interested in collaborating on a song with him in the eleventh episode.
Interested? Of course, he was!
So, on the second day after Su Yu returned from South Korea, Fei Qing went directly to Tianxing Entertainment.
That unexpected visitor at Tianxing Entertainment that day was actually Fei Qing.
And when Fei Qing saw Su Yu's work, he initially felt a bit out of place.
He had thought Su Yu wanted him to perform alone, using a relatively retro song for the final regular season match.
Anyway, winning or losing didn't really matter to Su Yu anymore.
But who would have thought that Su Yu would write such a trendy song, with a harmonious blend despite its stylistic differences?
Fei Qing loved "a thousand miles away" to his core.
And with his vocalist-level strength, he mastered the song completely in a short amount of time.
He even asked Su Yu if he needed to deliberately match Su Yu's timbre to make the two voices more harmonious.
However, Su Yu did not need it.
But it was clear that Su Yu was right; when the two emerged from the recording studio and listened to the recorded audio, Fei Qing grew even more impressed with the young composer.
He felt that this collaboration was truly too wonderful.
