“Mountain Ghost Ballard” was a song that had debuted five or six years ago.
At the time, the traditional culture circle was just starting to gain traction. The famous dubbing group “Deity Voice” had quickly sparked the first wave of traditional style throughout the Great Xia Empire with this single song.
And it remained popular for years.
The original singer of “Mountain Ghost Ballard” was Gui Lu, one of the founding members of Deity Voice.
Gui Lu could arguably be considered the most talented among the founding members.
Rumor had it that Gui Lu had more than a dozen different vocal ranges, capable of dubbing for men, women, the old, and the young. Versatile in style, she could even single-handedly dub an entire TV series.
Moreover, she could sing, which added to her popularity.
However, her production rate was low, and ‘Mountain Ghost Ballard” was the only song she sang.
Although the popularity of “Mountain Ghost Ballard” never waned, it exploded in recent years due to a cover version by an uploader on a video editing website.
As fans grew accustomed to the new cover version, they gradually forgot the original.
The reason the uploader omitted the introductory opera was due to its difficulty. Ordinary traditional singers could hardly reach those notes.
Therefore, people had always speculated whether Gui Lu had a background in opera.
But the founding members of Deity Voice had always been mysterious and never showed their faces online, so these speculations remained unanswered.
Over the years, although the founding members of Deity Voice had been inactive, their new recruits continued to make waves in the dubbing industry.
Given that actors these days lacked the vocal skills of their predecessors and often required dubbing, Deity Voice’s reputation continued to grow.
Gui Lu might have retreated from the limelight, but legends about her persisted in the dubbing industry.
No one had expected that Si Fuqing would sing “Mountain Ghost Ballard” today, and moreover, Gui Lu’s original version.
The biggest charm of opera is its ability to ignite the atmosphere and command the stage.
Few people choose opera for stage performances precisely because it’s hard to control.
But with just a few casual lines of opera, Si Fuqing managed to command everyone’s attention completely.
What does it mean to make people kneel with just an opening line?
This was it.
Her anxious fans had completely lost it.
Countless comments flooded the screen, drowning out all voices of doubt. [Who said Si Fuqing can’t sing? Come here, I’ll sew your mouth shut!]
[Help, this opera is too good! I thought Gui Lu was here!]
[The original version is obviously the best! I don’t know why the cover is more popular. How dare the cover steps on the original, ugh!] [If anyone dares to say my wife can’t sing, I’ll smash your face!!!] As the music flowed, the singing continued.
Si Fuqing had now reached the part that everyone was familiar with.
Taking two deliberate steps forward, she sang again, “Fate waits no longer…”
The last note had barely fallen when she tilted her head slightly, her fox-like eyes twinkling as she continued, “All that remains is the cycle of rebirth.”
A single glance, and the entire audience was set ablaze.
Such mastery over the stage could only be a natural gift.
Earlier, Lin Qingyan had sung and danced, exhausting herself to no end, yet couldn’t achieve this effect.
But Si Fuqing, with just a few simple steps and without even a perfunctory dance, had electrified the entire stage.
“I’m dead, I’m dead! Her gaze is literally killing me!” “TOO HOT, TOO HOT! Definitely husband material!”
At that moment, Si Fuqing suddenly looked up.
Despite being a floor apart, her gaze met someone’s with uncanny accuracy.
She raised an eyebrow and gave a slight nod of her chin.
Yu Xiheng’s hand paused, his phoenix eyes deep and unfathomable, like still water with depths unseen.
Beside him, Yu Tang’s heart skipped several beats. She let out an excited scream, “AHAHAHAHAH, Uncle Nine, Qingqing saw me! She’s flirting with me!”
Feng San kept a straight face, “Miss Yu Tang, you’re hitting me.” Almost hitting him hard enough to make him cough up blood. “Oh, oh, oh, I’m sorry.” Yu Tang stopped her antics, clasping her face in her hands, “Ah, it’s all because Qingqing is so enchanting!”
“Indeed, too impressive,” Shen Xingjun managed to recover, “Is this my first time watching a performance? Are all performers like this?”
He realized that his emotions had been entirely captured by Si Fuqing, completely absorbed in her voice.
“No way!” Yu Tang blurted out, “I’ve only ever seen this kind of stage presence in Qingqing!”
Shen Xingjun let out a slow breath, “Well, that’s a relief.”
He had been worried that the entire entertainment industry was full of such extraordinary talents..
