Chapter 25: Super Imitation Show (Part 2)

  P.S: As usual, asking for votes! The plot is getting more and more exciting, updates are also increasing, but the votes are pitifully few!

  "I love Chen Huilian's 'Thousand Songs', would you like to sing one?" The young man said with a bit of provocation to Xiao Sa Ge.

  The 1990s was the most prosperous and influential period in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and it was indeed a golden age that produced many classic works. Not to mention films, there were countless classic songs.

  Among them, there is a song that absolutely cannot be ignored. That is the adaptation of "Song of Sunset" from the East, "Thousand Songs", which was extremely popular when it was released and won the "Top 10 Most Popular Song Award". Later, it continued to thrive and spread rapidly even after being introduced to the mainland, despite language barriers, and almost everyone can hum a few lines.

  So, even though it's been almost 20 years since the time has passed, there are still loyal fans on site, which is not surprising. However, this guy asked Xiao Ge to imitate a female voice in Cantonese, which is really a bit too much.

  As expected, when the quiet onlookers waiting for a show heard this strange and difficult request that seemed more like an attempt to sabotage the stage, there was immediately a flurry of whispers, with many feeling that this request was simply too excessive.

  "I don't even speak Cantonese, but this guy is asking people to imitate a Cantonese song, and it's even a classic by a female singer. This sabotage is too obvious, right?" A middle-aged uncle shook his head in disapproval, but he clearly wouldn't say anything more, anyway, onlookers aren't afraid of trouble.

  "This is too much, isn't it? Isn't this making things difficult for people?" Some of the sisters who had initially admired Xiao Xiao Ge felt that this guy called "Xiao Tang" was quite pitiful, having encountered a saboteur during his performance.

  Okay, actually although the girls like strong guys more, their maternal instincts also make them easier to support "weak" ones. En, one of these girls is a beauty named Xiao Wen who originally wanted to see Xiao Sao get embarrassed.

  Tonight's performer, Xiao Sao, didn't seem to know that he had won the sympathy and support of so many people. He just looked at the "song requester" with a slightly amused expression. About five seconds later, when the murmurs in the audience grew louder, and the boss of the specialty store was about to come out to mediate, Xiao Sao suddenly nodded his head, took the microphone, and said: "Although I hadn't finished explaining all the game rules just now, this guy did seem a bit impatient..."

  The young man who was about to mock him thought that Xiao Su was going to "not acknowledge" it, but when he was about to open his mouth, he saw Xiao Su wave his hand at him. Then Xiao Su smiled, and a row of neat white teeth sparkled with dazzling light under the lamp. He heard him say loudly: "But it doesn't matter, I didn't announce it completely just now, so I will satisfy this brother's request and do my best to recreate the flavor of the classic song 'Qian Qian Que Ge'."

  The scene was initially silent, but immediately erupted into a thunderous applause. At this moment, almost everyone had a sense of admiration for the smiling and elegant brother. Because his choice was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations.

  It was this "fearless" act of pure awesomeness that immediately gave everyone a heroic feeling, as if they were the only one brave enough to take on the challenge. So when Xiao Shuai Ge, who was about to perform, received thunderous applause from nearly a thousand people for the first time, he looked somewhat bewildered and couldn't understand why the applause was so fierce and synchronized. Hmm, I guess it's because they had high expectations for my performance?

  "Qian Qian Que Ge" is actually a beautiful song that suits piano and guitar accompaniment very well. Of course, playing this song solo with guitar is also great, at least better than "Dong Fang Hong".

  Xiao Xiao Ge is a bit regretful that he doesn't have an electric guitar now, and although the wooden guitar can be played, it's still missing a bit of variation. But never mind, this isn't a concert anyway, as long as I do my best to perform, I believe I won't lose out to the original singer too much.

  He gently stroked the guitar in his hand, and a familiar yet elegant prelude music suddenly spread through the speakers... In an instant, some passersby stopped their footsteps, they all looked towards the crowd...

  Xiao Sa Ge took a light breath, even if he was very confident that his voice could imitate the song eight or nine out of ten. But who made him only imitate it once in the system space? Moreover, the key is that Cantonese is too deceitful, and he has never learned it, so he may not be able to pronounce it very standardly. Don't look at his promise being very "manly", but this is simply like pushing a duck onto a shelf!

  I hope Lao Zi's memory won't have any lapses. He calmed his mind and then softly began to sing:

  Slowly looking back, the evening that once belonged to each other

  Red is still you, the bright sunshine in my heart

  Shedding tears like a stream, hoping for sympathy and understanding.

  This morning I bid farewell to you, and perhaps the road ahead will be long and lonely

  ……

  Men imitating women singing, the biggest difficulty is not the problem of losing face, but the difference in gender makes it really difficult for men to produce a purely feminine voice. Chen Huixian's tone is undoubtedly great, especially when singing love songs, that sweet and sweet sound is simply a classic, and her voice is also very ethereal, being praised by many music critics as "elfin voice". This can imagine the difficulty of imitating her.

  Xiao Xiao Ge's voice indeed did not disappoint, singing only a short two-sentence lyrics. He grasped that ethereal feeling and sweet yet slightly melancholic emotion. Even the Cantonese pronunciation he was most worried about, he didn't show any obvious flaws.

  So, everyone can imagine that when a relatively tall man suddenly performs the original singer's essence, the scene is so explosive.

  The temperature on the scene has already made it impossible to drop, and everyone feels a genuine astonishment and incredibility. If Xiao Su Ge was not continuing to perform, they would have screamed into the night sky by now.

  Well, actually some girls have already started cheering excitedly. They are always the easiest to get excited and lose their minds. So now the "brain-dead fans" of Korean and Japanese pop culture who are starting to emerge are mainly made up of these girls. Unfortunately, the current Xiao Shuai Ge really can't live up to the name "idol", otherwise he would have discovered that even without releasing an album, he could still attract a lot of fans, and possibly very loyal "brain-dead" fans.

  The future is brighter than today's moonlight

  All of these cannot compare with your beauty, nor can they make me appreciate you more.

  Ah... because you sang with me tonight

  ……

  The strength of the strong is that once they enter a certain state, they often get better and better, affecting nothing but their mentality. Now, at this moment, Xiao Shuai's performance is even more relaxed and natural, because he has abandoned his concerns about Cantonese pronunciation, and now he is completely enjoying this "cross-dressing" performance.

  "I'm starting to like him, he's really talented!" Xiang Wen was humming softly when she suddenly heard her good friend's sigh of admiration. She quickly closed her mouth and turned around to look at her friend who had a look of enjoyment on her face, and said with mixed emotions: "This guy shouldn't be appearing here, his stage should be in the stadium in front of thousands of people, at various award ceremonies."

  Yes, with such amazing singing skills and shocking mimicry abilities, how could he end up performing on the streets? He's infinitely stronger than those "idol" singers.

  At this moment, even if she was still angry that her first kiss had been "taken away", Xiaowen really felt that Xiaohe's current behavior was a kind of "self-destruction". His performance shouldn't be so cheap.

  It's not just Xiaowen who has this idea, even the "buyer" tonight - the thin old boss of the specialty store is also sighing in his heart: "I've invited a great god, haven't I? After watching such a shocking performance now, it's likely that there won't be any strong feelings when watching concerts by big-name singers in the future." In short, this 500 yuan was really worth it.

  Xiao Sa Ge didn't know what others were thinking, after all, he didn't have the ability to read minds. So he continued to perform with sincerity.

  The future is brighter than today's moonlight

  Nothing compares to your beauty tonight, nothing can wash away what I'm thinking of you now.

  Because I don't know when we'll sing together again...

  "Bang bang bang bang bang..."

  As the song came to an end, the pedestrian street, which had been "dead" just a moment before, suddenly erupted into a thunderous applause. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Shuai, who let out a gentle breath. Even the young man who had requested the song with the intention of "crashing the scene" was visibly moved, impressed and slightly embarrassed as he clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: "Great singing! Absolutely original level! Really too good!"

  He glanced at the crowd in front of him, which was filled with screams and applause. Xiao Ge suddenly smiled, because he knew that his task must have been completed. After all, as long as people had eyes and ears, they could discover that there were not many who didn't applaud, and even fewer girls who didn't scream. This number was absolutely greater than the system's requirements.

  "Alright, thank you everyone for your enthusiastic encouragement." After about a minute, the people on site finally stopped their ear-piercing screams and continued to applaud. With a smile, Xiao Sao continued to read out the "game rules": "I hadn't even finished explaining the game rules when this guy interrupted me in a hurry. Now please everyone quiet down for a bit, I have to finish explaining the rules or else later on it might be really hard to get off stage..."

  "Hahaha……" A loud burst of laughter erupted on the scene, a kind-hearted one. The guy who was "named" by Xiao Sao was also "shameless", holding his chest with both hands and laughing along, earning him a nickname of "2B" from someone in secret.

  "Alright, my rule is that I'll only perform 10 songs tonight, and for every 10 items sold at the bird specialty store behind me, one friend will get a chance to request a song. Yeah, it has to be a Chinese song, and it has to be a classic, widely-known one."

  This time, Lao Tzu has managed to extricate himself. He's really afraid that some "2B" friend will pop up again and start playing a foreign song or something, in which case this "pure domestic product" who hardly ever listens to foreign songs would be left with no choice but to make a tragic exit.

  "Can anyone's be used?" A middle-aged woman suddenly shouted out loud: "What if I want to listen to Wang Fei's?"

  "As long as it's a classic and I know the tune, I'll definitely not refuse." Xiao Sao Ge replied with certainty.

  "Alright, I'll buy it now." The middle-aged woman immediately responded, and then shouted loudly: "Don't hesitate, such a good opportunity is not common. If you miss it today, it will be hard to hear such a great performance again."

  Indeed, although the onlookers at the scene were not professional musicians, they also had a certain aesthetic ability. They had just listened to Xiao Sa Ge's performance and naturally knew in their hearts that this kind of shocking performance was hard to come by. To put it bluntly, unless "Little Tang" became famous and held concerts, otherwise they would really never encounter such performances again.

  Then, under the "encouragement" of this middle-aged woman, a large crowd suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and walked into the specialty store. At that moment, the thin boss's smile became even more intense, looking at the stylish brother who was adjusting the sound, he suddenly took out a bottle of drink and handed it over: "Come on, have some water first, is your throat okay?"

  "It's okay, you go collect the money first!" Xiao Sao Ge handed over the water and advised with a very professional moral. Now the whole specialty store is busy to the point of being unable to cope, several shopping guides are simply too busy to keep up, so Skinny Boss also nodded immediately without hesitation and rushed in.

  "With this task completed, I can also release a single, it's really exciting!" Looking at the thousands of people still standing in place waiting for the performance, Xiao Sao thought of the system's task reward and felt a burning passion in his heart.
