Chapter 149
Kuang Meiyun, who was on the dressing table backstage, seemed excited and a little uneasy at the same time.
After more than two months of competition, she finally reached the finals tonight.
Recalling this period of time, she felt as if everything before her eyes was in a dream, and she was afraid that when she woke up, everything she had experienced before her eyes would disappear without a trace.
In the past two months, her life has undergone unprecedented changes. She has had the opportunity to try and strive for many things that she could not or did not dare to think about before.
Kuang Meiyun looked at her somewhat unreal self in the mirror and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch her cheek. She suddenly smiled happily, which was bright and moving. Before she left, she gave herself a cheering gesture and then continued to work.
The person walked towards the front desk.
As soon as Kuang Meiyun appeared on stage, she became the focus of the audience's attention.
Wearing a pure white dress that reaches her bare feet, she reveals her small feet wearing elegant white sandals. Her slender and soft hair hangs naturally on her neck and shoulders, half covering her pair of crystal clear ears.
Such an innocent and flawless girl next door, in her prime, with bright eyes, white teeth, and picturesque features, she stood there quietly, with a true and simple nature, like a narcissus in clear water.
Miss Chu Chu secretly glanced at Lu Dongjie next to her, and looking at the faint smile on his lips, she suddenly felt a little disgusted for some reason. The gentle girl on the stage had already become the idol of many middle school students.
Kuang Meiyun nodded slightly to indicate that she was ready, and then the whole place fell silent.
The crisp piano sound and the soft guitar sound merge into one, and the ancient and melodious prelude seems to bring a distant Scottish atmosphere, flowing through the heart like a trickle, refreshing.
A dozen contestants resting backstage were surprised, because during the rehearsal, the little girl clearly used this accompaniment. Did they hear it wrong? So they were listening, huh? It was that song, but why?
There is a brand new version, and the singing method is also different.
Zhong Weirong and Zhang Guorong were also slightly startled, and then they both showed expressions that it was indeed the case, because the little girl Kuang Meiyun had never followed the routine since she participated in the competition. There seemed to be a mysterious person behind her helping her. She just needed to feel at ease.
Just sing on stage.

Along with the ethereal and beautiful melody, Kuang Meiyun sang softly, which immediately shocked the entire audience. Listening to the reverberation of the voice and melody intertwined in the air, people felt as if they were lost.
What a pure, clear and natural sound, as if it does not contain a trace of impurities.
In an instant, the entire concert hall seemed to be reverberating with ethereal fairy music in the air. It had a very elegant and sacred feeling, which seemed to wash away all worries and made people calm down and listen to this beautiful singing and melody.
Kuang Meiyun's stage experience is not shallow, and the situation off the stage does not affect her. After all, she has practiced this song hundreds of times, which words, which sentences, which sounds should be used, and which sounds should be used.
She memorized every tune by heart, and sang it naturally like clouds and flowing water.

When Zhong Jinghui and Mo He Minyi saw this situation on the program monitor, they couldn't help showing very surprised expressions, because during the rehearsal, Kuang Meiyun asked a live band to accompany the original singer. The live effect at that time was only average, but today she chose herself
's accompaniment tape.
But they never imagined that this adapted version would be so powerful. The audience was completely stunned by the beautiful and pathos singing and melody, giving people a mesmerizing feeling. It was really magical.
"This song is so good. I didn't expect it to be so good." Mother Lu also watched the live TV broadcast with emotion. Although she couldn't understand English, the melody was so beautiful.
"Well, it's indeed good." Even Father Lu, an old man who doesn't like Western culture, couldn't help but nodded.
"Hey, I told you, we Meiyun have a trump card." Lu Xiaomei raised her chin with some pride.

The magic of this song is that it can calm people's impetuous hearts, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and have no distracting thoughts in their hearts. They just want to quietly appreciate and listen to this natural sound.
"It sounds really good." Miss Chu Chu was completely fascinated by this song. She held Lu Dongjie's hand tightly and repeated in a low voice.
"Is this song really adapted by you?" Xu Ruoqi also looked at Lu Dongjie in surprise.
When Lu Dongjie heard this, he just nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.
This famous "Scarborough Fair" classic hit was the theme song of the American movie "The Graduate" ten years ago, and it also won an Oscar Music Award. The original version is a traditional British folk song, composed by an American musician
It was adapted by Paul Simon and has since become very popular around the world. It has also been covered by countless singers in the past ten years.
In order to re-create this classic hit of the times, Lu Dongjie spent a lot of money. Not to mention the copyright fee for this single, just for the re-arrangement and recording of this accompaniment, Lu Dongjie hired musicians from the Hong Kong City Symphony Orchestra to record it
, after nearly half a month, such a majestic and beautiful tune finally appeared ahead of schedule.

This slightly sad song and melody seem to be telling the joys and sorrows of the world. The sound reaches the ears and the words enter the heart.
Crying actually interprets sadness so beautifully.
"It sounds so good. This little girl gives everyone a surprise every time she competes," Fang Yi said in a low voice.
"This little girl performed well, do you think she will be the champion?" Shao Yifu asked with interest, turning his face slightly.
"Although this song and her singing are both very good, overall, she is still a little worse than the contestant in Manila." Fang Yi quickly looked at the judges and the stage, and finally shook his head slowly.
Fang Yi is also a singer who is very good at singing English songs. She is also very confident in how to comprehensively evaluate the performance of an English song. She is quite confident in this point.
"Haha, only children can tell the difference between right and wrong. Adults only look at the pros and cons." Shao Yifu suddenly shook his head and said with an unintelligible smile.

As the last note fell, Lady Gordon, who was in the audience, was already in tears. At this time, a very warm applause rang out that woke her up. She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes with some embarrassment.
She is a native British person, so she is naturally very familiar with this British folk song. When she listens to this folk song in a foreign country, its rich British style and artistic conception teach her how not to miss her hometown.
