Chapter 124 The first phase of the competition ends
When singer No. 2 Chen Lizhu was singing, Shen Xiyin took a photo of the kick button.
In order not to affect the singer's singing status, Shen Xiyin clicked the kick button, and there was no change in the studio hall.
Chen Lizhu continued to sing, the tune changed from melodious to passionate, and the high notes of the chorus were too thick to sound like a female voice.
This makes her voice very recognizable. As long as this slightly thick female voice sings, it is easy to recognize her voice.
Fang Xing sat in the starting singer lounge, listening to Chen Lizhu's singing, and was sure that she deserved to be the winner of the rookie competition.
After Chen Lizhu finished singing, the host He Hao came on stage and told her the news that she had been kicked out.
However, Chen Lizhu had already been mentally prepared.
Her Chinese is very good.
After reading the rules of kicking the venue, she was basically sure that if the previous starting singer was not challenged, then she would definitely be challenged.
Therefore, her expression was not surprising at all: "Actually, I have already thought of it."
He Hao answered: "Indeed, so this challenge is inevitable. Do you want to know who the singer is who challenged you to kick the club?"
Chen Lizhu shook her head and replied: "I don't know."
"You can ask me a question about the singer who kicked off the club. What do you want to ask?" He Hao continued to lead the topic.
"Well...is he a male singer or a female singer?" Chen Lizhu thought for a moment and asked a question.
"She is a female singer." He Hao replied.
"How old is she?" Chen Lizhu continued to ask.
"The script given by the director came up and said that only one question was asked. However, I can also answer this question for you. She is about the same age as you." He Hao replied.
"Then she is a young female singer, no wonder she chose me." Chen Lizhu said.
"Thank you Chen Lizhu for bringing us this song "Melody in dream". Please go back to the lounge and continue watching. Next it is the turn of the kicking singer to appear. Who is she? What song will she bring? Let's wait and see what kind of songs we can sing. Please invite a singer!" He Hao said, raising his hand to gesture towards the back of the stage.
Shen Xiyin had already come out of the lounge and reached the back of the stage.
The light shines from behind her, and in the backlight, the audience can only see the outline of a graceful beauty.
Shen Xiyin walked onto the stage with long legs and stepped into the spotlight.
Everyone craned their necks to look, and when the light fell on her face, they finally saw her appearance clearly.
"Shen Xiyin!"
After seeing the female singer clearly on the stage, many people made a sound of surprise.
When Fang Xing saw it was Shen Xiyin, he raised his eyebrows.
The two met in the airport waiting area, said hello and chatted all the way.
In the end, no one said they were here to record "Singing", and then they saw each other at the recording site.
Fortunately, we met through the screen in the lounge, not in person, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing.
However, after listening to Chen Lizhu's "Melody in dream", Fang Xing felt that it was a bit difficult for Shen Xiyin to win.
In fact, the English song sung by Chen Lizhu has already given Shen Xiyin a chance.
English songs are acceptable to those born in the 80s, 90s and 00s, but for those born in the 60s and 70s, it is difficult for English songs to get their votes.
However, none of Shen Xiyin's Sky Girls songs can be hit.
If she sings Sky Girls' group song, she'll basically be sent.
When Shen Xiyin walked to the center of the stage, He Hao began to interact with her before the competition.
"Xiyin, we meet again."
"Yes, we just met at the rehearsal yesterday." Shen Xiyin replied.
He Hao stumbled and said, "The audience doesn't know about the rehearsal. I just saw it in the last show."
"Yes, it's been three months, it's already autumn." Shen Xiyin trembled again.
"How do you feel about Xiyin coming here to be a kick-off singer this time?" He Hao started to change the topic.
"I feel...I have no idea where to start." Shen Xiyin looked very relieved.
"Why do I feel like I can't start?" He Hao went deep into this topic.
"The starting singers are all too strong. I don't know who to kick. It's either a senior, a chart-topping singer, or a rookie contest champion. It's hard to choose anyone." Shen Xiyin sighed.
"Then why did you choose singer No. 2 in the end?" He Hao continued to ask.
"Singer No. 2 is about the same age as me, and she is also a female singer. At least we are evenly matched in age and gender," Shen Xiyin replied.
"As far as I know, there are two kicking singers tonight. Do you know who the other kicking singer is?" He Hao started to talk about the identity of the other kicking singer.
So far, the audience does not know who the other singer is.
Therefore, He Hao's topic has aroused the curiosity of many people.
"I know, because he and I are in the same lounge." Shen Xiyin replied.
"That's it, what are the characteristics of this kicking singer? Can you tell the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV?" He Hao asked.
"Can you tell me this?" Shen Xiyin looked at the chief director Zheng Tao in the audience.
Although she asked this, in fact, these questions were in the script, and the director team had already defined the range that she could answer.
Shen Xiyin thought about it and replied: "His situation is similar to mine, and the target he chose is also... evenly matched."
He Hao raised his eyebrows and asked: "When you say evenly matched, do you also mean age and gender?"
"yes."
Shen Xiyin nodded happily. Naturally, she would not compare their singing abilities. That would offend people.
Age and gender are evenly matched, and this answer is simply a textbook template.
He Hao looked at the audience and said: "Okay, we already know that the singer who chose singer No. 1 but did not challenge is a young male singer."
Now some viewers who are well versed in the routines of the program group complained: "Does this need to be said? The status of the singers who join the show must be lower than that of the starting singers, and they are basically young singers."
on the stage.
He Hao continued to ask: "When you chose the goal of playing in the gym, did you discuss it? Or did you choose your own goal, because according to the rules, you can actually choose the same goal."
Shen Xiyin smiled mysteriously and said: "Everyone should have their own goals. Anyway, you will understand it when you see him."
He Hao said with a smile: "How can I hear what you mean? There is something in your words?"
Some people in the audience began to guess: "It can't be Wu Junchen, right? The age and gender are right, and he and Shen Xiyin are in an idol group. It's very suitable to find a member of a boy band to be a kick-off singer."
When the audience next to him heard this, he immediately became interested: "It would be interesting if Wu Junchen was involved. Is this the playoffs of "Tomorrow Stars"?"
"If it is really Wu Junchen, then there should be nothing to compare with, right? When Wu Junchen was in "The Star of Tomorrow", he never defeated Fang Xing, and he never defeated him in various positions."
"Indeed, if it's Wu Junchen, he will definitely go on a tour."
"If it was Wu Junchen, the contract he signed must be a one-round tour contract. I am very familiar with the routine of this kind of variety show. Some new singers come to participate in the show just to sing a newly released single. They are purely for singing. .”
Amidst the discussion of the audience.
He Hao began to bring the topic back to the competition: "Xiyin, what song are you going to sing this time? Is it your Sky Girls group song?"
Shen Xiyin smiled awkwardly and replied: "Actually, this song is related to the No. 1 singer. It's a bit of a trick."
He Hao raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is it related to singer No. 1? Are you planning to sing his songs?"
"Yes, I met him at the airport yesterday. He told me that he was here to record "Laughter Weekend"." Shen Xiyin pointed her finger in the direction of Fang Xing's exit.
Hahaha……
The audience at the scene burst into laughter.
Fang Xing was sitting on the sofa in the lounge and was a little surprised when he heard Shen Xiyin say that he wanted to sing his own song.
Because I didn't know about this before.
The copyright of the song is currently represented by Pine Stone Records.
If other singers or record companies want to use Fang Xing's songs for commercial performances, they only need to buy a license from Songshi Records.
This is also a big source of income from songs.
This part of the licensing work is the responsibility of the Copyright Department of Songshi Records.
Fang Xing didn't have time to ask about these things, so he didn't know which song Shen Xiyin had licensed.
on the stage.
"So, which song by Singer No. 1 are you coming to sing this time?" He Hao continued to ask.
"My favorite song is "The Wind Rises"." Shen Xiyin replied.
"Let us hand over the stage to Xiyin and bring us this song "The Wind Rises"." After He Hao finished speaking, he turned and walked off the stage.
Fang Xing heard that she was going to sing "The Wind Rises" and thought her song selection was very clever.
"The Wind Rises" has only been sung on the stage of "Tomorrow's Star" so far, and it was sung as a team.
Currently, there are professional singers who have sung this song alone.
Moreover, Fang Xing, Guo Keda, Shao Yu and others sang the male version, which is obviously different from the female version.
The clever thing about Shen Xiyin's song selection is that she did not choose "Chi Ling".
Because there is Li Caiwei in "Chi Ling", especially that beautiful scene.
No matter how she sings, Shen Xiyin can never surpass Li Caiwei.
On the contrary, she can sing "The Wind Rises" with a completely different feeling from the male version.
For a cover to be successful, one of the keys is to be different from the original version.
If you just blindly imitate the original version, even if you sing well, it will be difficult to win over the audience.
"The Wind Rises" was originally sung by a female voice, so this song is very suitable for a female voice.
Shen Xiyin's age and voice are also very suitable for this song.
When Fang Xing heard her tell the name of the song, he suddenly felt that she might win.
…
The stage lights were focused, and Shen Xiyin held the microphone in one hand and gestured to the band to start with the other.
The prelude of "The Wind Rises" sounded.
Shen Xiyin lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand, took two steps forward gracefully, and then began to sing affectionately.
She liked this song very much, so she sang it many times in private.
Her voice perfectly interprets the continuous lyrics of the D5 treble, making the whole song's tune always fly among the clouds.
After hearing her singing, Fang Xing had to say that Shen Xiyin was the better singer among the many girl groups.
Singing the last chorus, Shen Xiyin raised the melody, preparing to give the final word to the show:
"Twilight covers your faltering steps.
"Go into the painting hidden by the bedside.
"You in the painting lower your head and talk...
"In the name of love, are you still willing?"
The audience, born in the 90s and 00s, applauded loudly after listening.
This version of "The Wind Rises" is in contrast to the version sung by Fang Xing.
It sounds good and fresh at the same time.
Moreover, Shen Xiyin's high notes are indeed very beautiful.
In addition to the audience born in the 90s and 00s, some audiences born in the 80s also like this song very much.
Audiences born in the 60s and 70s basically don’t watch talent shows, so they are relatively unfamiliar with this song.
However, the melody of this song is beautiful and the lyrics are full of memories of youth.
It can also inspire the emotions of older audiences, so the response at the scene was very good.
…
In the rest room of King Liu Hongsheng.
After listening to the song sung by Shen Xiyin, Liu Hongsheng commented: "The lyrics and music of this song are both good."
Follow the filming director to delve into the topic: "So, does Mr. Liu think the singer who kicks the studio will win?"
"I hope to win." Liu Hongsheng nodded.
Liu Hongsheng felt that Shen Xiyin had a chance of winning, while Fang Xing felt that Shen Xiyin had already won.
In terms of singing ability alone, Chen Lizhu is actually not weak.
However, Chen Lizhu's song selection this time was not very good.
She sang English songs.
Singing English songs is basically equivalent to giving up the votes of people who were born in the 60s and 70s.
Her base is mainly in the hearings of those born in the 80s, 90s and 2000s.
However, the song "The Wind Rises" is a precise dunk, which is almost invincible in the ears of young audiences.
Moreover, Shen Xiyin did sing well and fully brought out the advantages of the female voice.
After Shen Xiyin finished singing, it was the turn of the remaining starting singers to compete.
Liu Hongsheng, as the King of Heaven, sang an old song that he once had that was popular across the Taiwan Strait and three places. It captured the sentiments of a wave of people born in the 60s, 70s, and some people born in the 80s.
South Korean singer Jong Yuanxun sang a Chinese version of a famous South Korean song.
This South Korean song was covered by a domestic singer back then, so it has a Chinese version.
This song is also very harmful to those born in the 70s, 80s and some 90s.
Afterwards, Xu Xinzhen still followed the ancient style and sang her famous song "Ye Rain and Evening Wind".
After all the singers finished singing, the host announced that the 500 people at the scene would start voting.
Each judge has three votes, but they cannot vote for the same singer.
In other words, the total number of votes in the hearing is 1,500, which must be divided among the 7 starting singers and 1 singer who will be eliminated.
On average, each singer gets less than 200 votes.
After the 500 hearing votes are completed, on-site statistics will begin.
When counting votes.
The director who was following the shoot started preparing for the filming.
"Fang Xing, can you guess who the singer is who will choose you as the target to kick out tonight?" the director started to ask.
"I don't know. Anyway, he is a young male singer. There are too many suspicious targets." Fang Xing really couldn't guess.
"Some viewers think it's Wu Junchen, do you think it's possible?"
"It's probably unlikely."
In fact, Fang Xing mainly felt that Wu Junchen's singing ability should not be appreciated by the "Singing" program.
The program "Singing" has relatively high standards for vocal selection, much higher than the men's group talent show.
Shen Xiyin, who is already considered a good singer in the girl group, can only get one spot as a singer.
Among these idol groups, there are really not many singers who can be favored by the "Singing" program crew.
The director continued to ask: "Tonight, the singer who chose you as his target did not launch a challenge in the end. Why do you think it was?"
Fang Xing replied casually: "Maybe he thinks he can't win."
This is a very honest statement. If it were broadcast, it would definitely trigger a new round of topics.
The director smiled and asked: "Are you so confident about your performance tonight? Then where do you think your ranking will be tonight?"
If you haven't heard other singers singing, you may not be able to guarantee it.
After listening to other singers singing, there is no suspense.
Fang Xing grinned and said: "If I answer this question, some people will definitely say that I am arrogant. But tonight's ranking should be number one."
The director continued to ask: "According to the rules of kicking, the singer who chose you as the target of kicking will have a chance to choose the target of kicking again in the next episode. Do you think he will continue to choose you?"
Fang Xing thought for a moment and said: "Probably not. In fact, there is no need to be so tough. Tonight, I and Chen Lizhu were chosen as singers because we are young. The other first singers are all seniors. Out of politeness, I chose We are more suitable.
"Now, the first program has been recorded. The game is just a game. There is no need to be so polite. If this singer is smart enough, he should change his goal."
The director chuckled and said, "I have some interesting news for you. When we were preparing to recruit this singer, he replied that he would choose you for the next issue."
Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you so stubborn?"
The director went on to say: "The kicking singer feels that your song tonight is more resonant with the audience, so tonight is not a suitable night for kicking. He thinks that your next song will not be as harsh as tonight."
Fang Xing grinned and said, "Then he is wrong. The audience should know me. I have always been very ruthless."
…
The vote counting is completed.
The program team asked all the singers to go to the voting hall to wait for the final results of the competition.
Since all the first singers have finished singing, they already know each other's identities, so there is no need to keep it secret.
Including singer Shen Xiyin, a total of eight singers were sitting in the seats and posing in a row.
Next to them are their respective agents.
Guo Keda was sitting next to Fang Xing. He was having a bout of social anxiety and was chatting wildly with the singer and manager next to him.
There were two singers competing tonight, but only Shen Xiyin came to hear the results, and the other one did not show up.
Because the other singer has not performed yet, so he needs to continue to keep it secret.
This program has a special feature. When the results are announced, the chief director Zheng Tao personally announces them.
Zheng Tao walked up to the eight singers with his card in hand and said with a smile: "Thank you to the eight singers for singing tonight. The comrades at the Xiangjiang Notary Office have just finished counting the votes.
"A total of 498 valid votes were received tonight, and the total number of votes was 1,486."
At this moment.
Guo Keda started counting with his fingers, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not right, 498 times 3, not 1486."
Zheng Tao laughed and said: "Yes, because some hearings only cast one vote. Whether it is a mistake or just want to cast one vote, it is the right of the hearing."
Two groups of relatives came to see the baby today, so I just finished coding the first chapter.
Code the second chapter immediately and keep updating every day!
