Chapter 86: The Result of the Four Powers (Part 1) Additional Chapter 2

  Guo Xiaoyu's song "Practicing Love" won the second direct promotion spot so far. Of course, it didn't end there. After dinner, when Guo Xiaoyu was sitting alone in his room playing computer, his door was knocked on.

  "Who's there?" Guo Xiaoyu shouted without turning his head back, as he was currently in the midst of an exciting game.

  "It's me, Zuo Li."

  "What's left? What does he want from me?" Then Guo Xiaoyu shouted loudly: "The door is not locked, come in."

  "Clang..." Along with the sound of the door opening, Zuo Li walked in and looked at Guo Xiaoyu, asking: "Xiaoyu, what are you playing?"

  "Come on!" Guo Xiaoyu said, pressing the keyboard, "This teammate is too trashy, I have to hurry up and steal the tower, or we'll lose this round again."

  "Oh, then you go ahead and play, I'll come find you later." Said Leisi as he prepared to turn around and leave.

  "Wait, if there's something on your mind, speak up and I'll help you out for sure."

  "Uh..." Zuo Li hesitated for a long time, stuttering as he said: "Xiao Yu, I want to ask you for a song."

  "What?" Guo Xiaoyu suddenly turned his head and stared at Zuo Li in surprise.

  Seeing Guo Xiaoyu's expression, Zuo Li hurriedly said: "I know we are currently rivals, I shouldn't ask you for a song, but my girlfriend... never mind." As he spoke, Zuo Li somewhat embarrassedly waved his hand.

  Seeing Zuo Li like this, Guo Xiaoyu said: "You misunderstood me. I just think it's strange. The song you wrote 'If I Grow Old' is pretty good! Why would you think of asking me to write a song?"

  "This... this..." Zuo Li was entangled for half a day, saying: "My girlfriend's father promised me that as long as I can advance one more round in the final match, he will allow me to be with my girlfriend. Otherwise, I have to leave her. I don't want to leave her, but there are more and more formidable opponents. I must become one of the top 12 in the country, so I found you."

  "Really!" Guo Xiaoyu smiled and turned around, taking out a sheet of music from the drawer and handing it to Zuo Li, saying: "Take a look at this..."

  "Southern girl?" Zuo Li took it over and examined it carefully.

  After a while, Zuo Li excitedly said: "This... this... is..."

  "It was written for you." Guo Xiaoyu stuffed it into Zuo Li's arms and said, "Your vocal line is very special, very suitable for singing folk songs. This song was inspired by your 'Miss Dong' after I heard it, I think no one else can sing this song well except you."

  Zuo Li stared blankly at Guo Xiaoyu, unable to speak for a moment, with only emotion left in his eyes.

  Guo Xiaoyu patted his shoulder and said, "Go on, cherish that girl well, don't let the opportunity slip away." Guo Xiaoyu's words were spoken from the heart, many things are only cherished after they are lost. Those who know how to cherish what they have will never let it go and regret it later.

  After walking through the left history, Guo Xiaoyu turned around and looked at the computer. The opposite side had already dismantled to his own home. He was also powerless to turn back now.

  Just as he was about to serve again, there was another knock at the door.

  "What's going on again?" Guo Xiaoyu shouted while opening the door, only to find Zhang Hengyuan standing outside.

  "Huh...... Xiaoyuan, what are you looking for me?" Guo Xiaoyu had become quite familiar with them over the past few days, and even their greetings had become simpler.

  "Uh...". Zhang Heng stuck here too.

  "You're not thinking of asking me to write songs, are you?"

  "No, no, no..." Zhang Hengyuan hastily refused, saying: "I'm asking you for a small favor."

  "What's the hurry?" Guo Xiaoyu patted his chest and said, "Up Knife Mountain, down Fire Sea, so easy."

  Looking at Guo Xiaoyu's smile, Zhang Hengyuan took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoyu, I want you to help me improve my singing skills."

  "What's the trick to singing?" Guo Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

  "They said I have a unique voice, but lack singing skills, so I want to improve on that." Zhang Hengyuan said in a slightly low tone: "You know, I'm a kid from the mountains, and I don't usually have friends who understand this stuff, so I can only come to you for help."

  Guo Xiaoyu saw Zhang Hengyuan looking a bit self-abased and said, "Xiaoyuan, I'll teach you some skills, this is absolutely no problem. But I want to ask you, do you want to be a good singer or a singer in the future?"

  "Singing? Singer?" Zhang Hengyuan asked in confusion: "Isn't a singer just someone who sings?"

  "You're right, a singer is someone who sings songs, but not everyone who sings songs is a singer."

  "Why?" Not just Zhang Heng was confused, many people who heard this sentence would also be confused.

  Kuo Hsiao-yu explained: "Many people are singing, but real singers are rare. Do you know why?"

  Looking at Zhang Heng, Guo Xiaoyu shook his head and continued: "A true singer has their own style. Even if several people from the same genre sing the same song, they can bring out different flavors. That's what makes a singer." Guo Xiaoyu paused, then went on: "Your voice is very distinctive, in other words, you have your own unique qualities that no one else can teach you. You just need to take these qualities to the extreme and you'll be a true singer. If you really want to find someone to learn from, listen to more of Wang Feng, Cui Jian, and Zheng Jun's songs, try singing their songs in your own way and see what kind of flavor it brings."

  Guo Xiaoyu finished speaking, Zhang Hengyuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. When Guo Xiaoyu finished, Zhang Hengyuan actually bowed to him and said loudly: "Xiaoyu, thank you, I understand now."

  "I'm going..." Guo Xiaoyu suddenly dodged his bow and said, "You're still being polite to me. However, the skills of singing still need to be learned, don't worry, before the final competition on stage, each judge will give you good training."

  It was not easy to send Zhang Heng away, but now someone else has come. This person is still considered by Guo Xiaoyu as his greatest opponent all along, a relatively more formidable opponent than Huahua, and that is Xiao Jin - Jin Zhiwen.

  Jin Zhiwen came with a guitar, and after entering Guo Xiaoyu's room, the sound of two guitars soon came out. Then, after a while, Guo Xiaoyu and Jin Zhiwen went to Jay Chou's room together, and the three talked until late at night around 2 or 3 am. After that, Jin Zhiwen left first, but Guo Xiaoyu didn't leave until the next morning at 6 o'clock, when he returned to his own room with two panda eyes.

  Today's Beijing competition area four strong breakthrough match, Guo Xiaoyu did not go to watch, two nights without sleep, this has exceeded his limit, he now must have a good sleep.

  PS: Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Fox here wishes everyone a happy new year in advance, and I wish you all a harmonious and fulfilling reunion.
