Chapter 146 You're Marrying Me Today
Office of the chief director of the "Voice of Heaven" program at Xiangcheng TV.
Director Wang Lei stared at the computer screen and let out a long sigh of relief.
The show had been getting good ratings, and Wang Lei thought that if it continued like this, they would have to work overtime to produce the next episode.
As a result, the two most popular singers on the show both had their scandals exposed.
He had no choice but to suspend the show. Wang Lei was worried about how to resolve the issue better when Shen Yuege and the other two solved it themselves.
"A textbook example of crisis management..." he couldn't help but exclaim. "Shen Yuege directly showed her marriage certificate, Liu Siqi took the initiative to clarify, and Lu Ran confronted her head-on. Although they all made significant sacrifices, these three people and three Weibo posts turned a public relations disaster into a romantic story that everyone was talking about."
"That's really bold!"
The assistant director gave a wry smile: "The problem is, the final was originally scheduled to be broadcast live tonight, but it was already suspended because of this incident. Now, given the situation... will it be postponed again?"
Hearing the assistant director's words, Wang Lei pondered for a moment, then suddenly grinned: "Why not? With such high buzz, the ratings will definitely explode. Isn't this just free publicity? But..."
He picked up the internal phone: "Notify all departments that the finals are postponed by one week. The reason is—to give the contestants more time to prepare, and to give the audience a more perfect stage."
"Director, this..."
"This week is enough for us to take this to the extreme." Wang Lei's eyes were shrewd. "When the finals are broadcast live, we need to focus the camera on Lu Ran in the audience, and film the way Shen Yuege looks at him... That's all traffic!"
The assistant director suddenly realized: "You're so clever!"
"Also," Wang Lei added, "contact Lu Ran and ask him if he'd be willing to sing a duet with Shen Yuege in the finals. If he is, we can change the finals to a solo duet, which is his choice."
He grinned like a cunning old fox: "I think the audience will really want to see it."
……
In his hotel room, Lu Ran had just hung up the phone with the production team.
"The production team wants us to do a duet in the finals?" Shen Yuege asked, her voice muffled as she applied a face mask. "Did you agree?"
"I said I'd think about it." Lu Ran sat down next to her. "What do you think?"
Shen Yuege removed her face mask, revealing a hydrated and clear face.
She turned to look at Lu Ran, her eyes fixed on him.
"Sing it, why not? It's already public anyway."
"What do you want to sing?" Lu Ran asked. "We've already sung 'The Rose in the Palm of My Hand,' and 'Under the Flying Clouds' is a duet with Siqi..."
Shen Yuege suddenly leaned closer, a sly smile playing on her lips:
"Let's write a new one. It has to be sweet, something that everyone will immediately know—that we are in love."
Looking at her face so close to his, Lu Ran's heart began to beat faster.
Judging from Shen Yuege's expression, she's planning to turn their fake relationship into a real one.
And neither of them made it clear, so they just got along in an ambiguous relationship.
"Okay." Lu Ran agreed immediately, "Write a sweet song, so that whenever someone sings it, they'll remember our song."
"Um."
That evening, Lu Ran sat in front of the computer and began to write furiously.
He has a lot of love songs he sang every day in his past life, and any one of them can make his fans feel incredibly sweet.
But Lu Ran felt that this song was the most suitable.
The melody and lyrics of the song flowed out almost without thinking.
Upbeat R&B rhythms, sweet duets, and simple yet sincere vows.
After he finished writing, he hummed it to himself softly, and then smiled with satisfaction.
This song was a widely circulated love song in its past life, and it couldn't be more fitting for this world and this moment.
He sent Shen Yuege a demo clip.
Five minutes later, Shen Yuege replied immediately:
"This is the song. I want to tell the whole world in the finals that I, Shen Yuege, married the right person."
...
One week later, the final night of "The Voice of China" will take place.
The No. 1 studio of Xiangcheng TV was brightly lit and packed to capacity.
In the audience, the number of light boards for the "Yueran Couple" even surpassed the number of support colors for Shen Yuege herself. The CP fans held up banners that read "Happy Wedding" and "May you have a long and happy marriage," making the scene comparable to a wedding.
The number of viewers watching the live stream exceeded 100 million immediately upon its launch, breaking the record for domestic variety shows.
Backstage, Shen Yuege was doing her final touch-ups.
Today she wore a simple white satin dress, her hair loosely tied up, and a pair of pearl earrings, looking elegant and gentle.
Liu Siqi came over from the dressing room next door, saw her, and whistled:
"The bride looks beautiful today."
Shen Yuege blushed: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Did I say something wrong?" Liu Siqi smiled and sat down next to her. "After tonight, the whole world will know you married Lu Ran. But seriously..."
She paused, her tone tinged with regret, but she said sincerely, "Yuege, congratulations. Lu Ran is a very good person, you two are a perfect match."
Shen Yuege took her hand: "Thank you. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"What are you thanking me for? I'm not really heartbroken." Liu Siqi waved her hand nonchalantly. "Right now, I just want to focus on singing. Second place is fine too, anyway, first place is definitely yours."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At the front desk, the competition was in full swing.
Lin Weiwei delivered a solid performance, moving the entire audience with her rendition of "Years"; Zhou Ziming challenged himself with rock music, electrifying the crowd; Su Qing's original folk song was refreshing and touching...
But everyone's hearts were hanging on Shen Yuege, who appeared last.
Finally, the host announced the program in an excited voice:
"Next up is the last contestant of this season's 'The Voice of China,' and also our most anticipated performance tonight—please welcome Shen Yuege and her special guest, Lu Ran!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire audience screamed.
The lights dimmed and then slowly came back on.
The stage was set up like a cozy living room, with sofas, carpets, scattered cushions, and even a warm yellow floor lamp.
Lu Ran and Shen Yuege sat side by side on a high stool; he held a wooden guitar, and she held a handheld microphone.
The two smiled at each other, their eyes overflowing with sweetness.
The intro begins with a light and lively guitar strumming, carrying an R&B rhythm.
Lu Ran spoke first, her voice gentle and smiling:
The blooming flowers of spring take away the sadness of winter.
A gentle breeze carries a romantic atmosphere.
Every love song suddenly becomes full of meaning.
I suddenly saw you at this very moment—
Shen Yuege continued singing, her eyes fixed on him:
The fragrance of spring flowers carries away the chill of winter.
A gentle breeze brings unexpected love.
The birds’ songs brought us closer together.
I suddenly fell in love with you at this very moment—
In the duet section, their voices blended perfectly:
"listen to me
Hold hands and walk with me
Creating a happy life
You didn't have time yesterday
It will be a pity tomorrow
Will you marry me today?
