Chapter 154 The Competition Begins in 'The Cloud of My Hometown'
Chapter 154 The Competition Begins "Clouds from My Hometown"
After arriving at Xiangjiang River, we rested for one night and then rehearsed the next morning.
In the afternoon, we started recording the singer’s entrance.
The recording tonight is the seventh episode of "Singing", so there will be a replacement singer joining.
As before, the identity of the replacement singer remains confidential.
Then, the starting singer began to guess the identity of the replacement singer.
When this segment is broadcast, it will also trigger speculation among the audience, which can effectively improve the audience's sense of participation.
Because the replacement singer last time was Li Caiwei, and Fang Xing knew about it in advance.
Therefore, this time, Xie Yuwen was the first to ask: "Fang Xing, tell us first, did you produce the song of the replacement singer this time?"
Fang Xing smiled and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Xie Yuwen replied matter-of-factly: "You and Li Caiwei have caused post-traumatic stress disorder. Another one will come out later, and you will be in charge of the songs. Do you plan to take the first, second, and third place?"
Fang Xing shook his head and smiled: "You can rest assured this time, I don't know who the replacement singer is, and I didn't help him produce the song."
Xie Yuwen looked at the camera and said, "Everyone in the audience has heard it. If the replacement singer later has something to do with Fang Xing, you know, try to blackmail him."
This variety show is full of effects.
Zheng Tao was very satisfied and started to choose the order of appearance in the competition.
This time, Fang Xing's luck was pretty good. He got seventh, Li Caiwei fifth, and Liu Hongsheng fourth.
Xie Yuwen got the order that everyone wanted, playing sixth.
The recording of the appearance sequence is completed, and there will be a one-hour break.
At 7:30 in the evening, the recording of the competition session began.
Zheng Tao took the walkie-talkie and announced loudly: "Everyone is in place, the seventh competition recording of "Singing" has officially begun."
The host He Hao stepped onto the stage with joy and began to speak the opening words:
"Dear singers, guests, live audiences, and viewers in front of the TV, good evening to everyone.
"Welcome to the seventh competition of "Singing". The theme of tonight's competition is 'Hometown'.
"'Hometown' is a word with a special meaning. It is a place that we can never forget in our hearts.
"Like the roots of a tree, a wanderer in a distant place, no matter how far he goes, always hopes to return to his roots when the leaves fall.
"'Hometown' is such a special place. It has witnessed the joys and sorrows of our childhood. It is the place where we were born and raised.
"Tonight, we come to sing the praises of our 'hometown' and tell the stories that happened in our 'hometown'."
After finishing his opening remarks, the audience gave Teacher He warm applause.
He Hao continued: "I believe the audience and friends are already waiting impatiently. The competition is about to begin. First of all, the first singer to appear tonight. Who is he..."
The first person to appear was Zhong Yuanxun, who sang a Chinese song praising his hometown.
His pronunciation was quite clear, and his singing skills were indeed solid, winning warm applause from the audience.
Afterwards, singers appeared one after another.
Liu Hongsheng made his fourth appearance.
When he appeared under the spotlight on the stage, he immediately won applause from the audience.
He Hao had a pre-competition interaction and finally asked: "So, what song will Liu Tianwang sing tonight? Tell the audience loudly."
Liu Hongsheng cleared his throat and replied: "Tonight's song is called "Hometown in the Heart"."
"Okay, let's hand over the stage to Liu Hongsheng and bring us this song "Hometown in the Heart."" After He Hao finished speaking, he turned and walked off the stage.
The scene fell silent.
Liu Hongsheng held the microphone and began to brew his emotions. After a moment, he looked in the direction of the band.
The conductor of the band picked up the baton and pressed it down, and the piano started the prelude.
Liu Hongsheng started singing with a rich voice:
"There is a place in my heart. It is full of camphor trees, and I often yearn for it in my dreams. It is a place that I cannot go back to, but my heart has already been filled..."
Liu Hongsheng's singing is very soulful.
Since the last time, Fang Xing's performance of "Prose Poems Written by My Father" moved the audience to tears.
Liu Hongsheng learned from the experience and began to take a soulful route. When singing "Hometown in the Heart", he sang his longing for his hometown into the song.
After singing, the audience was really moved by the singing. Many people had mist in their eyes, especially the wanderers who were struggling in a foreign country, they were deeply moved.
After the song was sung, the audience responded with warm applause.
Liu Hongsheng was very satisfied with the performance, and the reaction of the audience also made him more confident.
At least, the response from the audience was much more enthusiastic than the previous three singers.
…
The singer takes a break.
Following the instructions of the directing team, the filming director began to ask questions to the singer:
"Fang Xing, what do you think of Liu Tianwang's performance this time?"
Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "It's a very good song. I miss my hometown very beautifully."
The director continued to ask: "Then where do you think Liu Tianwang will be in the final ranking in this game?"
Fang Xing thought again: "It's hard to say, maybe... the top three?"
When the director heard this answer, he knew the topic was coming.
Due to the broadcast of this season, the popularity is very high, and it is even expected to surpass the peak ratings of the first season.
Zheng Tao wants to continue to increase the popularity of "Singing" this season.
The best way is to create buzz.
Zheng Tao originally rarely watched men's team drafts.
Originally, his understanding of Fang Xing came from some clips about Fang Xing played by the program team.
When Fang Xing showed his super dominance on "Song".
After Zheng Tao went back, he watched Fang Xing's season of "Tomorrow's Star" again.
He discovered that Fang Xing was a walking talking machine.
Just give him a few questions and Fang Xing can make big news.
Moreover, even if Fang Xing knew that the program team was up to something, he would step in without hesitation and do it forcefully.
The director continued to ask: "So do you think Liu Tianwang still can't win the first place in this competition? When we were in the pre-collection, Liu Tianwang said that he would compete for the championship in this competition."
Fang Xing shrugged and said, "If it were another show, it would be okay for him to win, but tonight it's a bit difficult."
The director continued to ask: "Why? Is the song you sing another ultimate move?"
Fang Xing sighed: "That's too scary, a nuclear bomb-level ultimate move."
The director was so happy that he overfulfilled his task by asking this question: "Is it more powerful than the songs you sang before?"
After careful consideration, Fang Xing said, "Let's put it this way, I'm afraid of singing this song."
The director asked: "So, you are confident that you will win first place again this time, right?"
Fang Xing sighed: "I don't know what the audience will think. I can only say that those who dare not to vote are warriors."
When the director heard this, his eyes lit up.
This sentence was so familiar to her.
Fang Xing said something similar before on "Tomorrow's Star".
The director said excitedly: "The more I talk about it, the more I look forward to it."
…
After Liu Hongsheng finished singing, he bowed to the audience and went to rest.
He Hao came on stage to say the words and began to introduce the next singer:
"Singer No. 5 is coming next. Singer No. 5 has an ethereal and clear voice. Her competition song was produced by another competition singer.
"When it comes to this, everyone must say that singer No. 5 is Li Caiwei.
“But, audience friends, are you so sure?
"On the stage of "Song", can Fang Xing be the only one who can produce songs for other singers? Can't it be another singer?
"I'm telling you, yes, no, at least not tonight.
"Let us welcome singer No. 5 to the stage, please!"
Li Caiwei wore an aqua sequined evening dress, holding the hem of the skirt with one hand, walking gracefully on the stage, smiling and waving to the audience as she walked.
"It is indeed Caiwei. The news I got from the director is that Caiwei's competition song this time was produced by another singer. Is it true?" He Hao began to ask.
Li Caiwei nodded and replied: "Yes, he made it again."
He Hao continued to ask: "Are you satisfied with tonight's song?"
Li Caiwei nodded again: "Of course, he never disappoints the audience."
He Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "So Caiwei is confident of getting a good ranking tonight, right?"
Li Caiwei thought about it and replied: "It depends on performance. I will try my best."
He Hao then asked: "Tonight's theme is 'Hometown', so please tell the audience, what is it about your hometown that you are going to sing tonight?"
Li Caiwei glanced at the audience with a smile, raised the microphone and replied: ""Clouds of Hometown"."
"Then let us leave the stage to Caiwei." He Hao said the last sentence loudly and walked off the stage.
"Clouds of Hometown" is a song written by Xiaoxuan, composed by Tan Jianchang, and sung by Wen Zhang.
This song uses the "clouds" and "wind" of hometown to praise the homesickness of wanderers and expresses the desire of thousands of wanderers to return home.
This song has been covered by many famous singers.
Among them, Fei Xiang sang this song on the Spring Festival Gala, and most of the public’s impressions of this song came from Fei Xiang.
In addition, Han Hong also sang a cover of this song, and later sang it on the stage of "I Am a Singer".
The stage lights dimmed.
Li Caiwei took two steps to the left, stood in the center of the stage, turned around and signaled for the band to start playing.
The melodious prelude sounded.
Li Caiwei followed the beat of the music and swayed her body slowly. When the intro reached the end, she raised the microphone and started singing:
Clouds drifting over my hometown in the sky
it keeps calling to me
When the breeze around you gently blows
There's a voice calling to me
Come back, come back
A wandering wanderer
…
Li Caiwei sang this song with her clear and beautiful voice and a eloquent tone.
It's like a mother calling the wanderer to return.
It's like a wanderer missing his hometown.
The singing was so tearful that the audience felt warm in their hearts.
When Li Caiwei finished singing, the audience gave thunderous applause.
In the rest room.
The choreographer began to ask the singer another question: "Fang Xing, this song sung by Li Caiwei was produced by you. What do you think of Li Caiwei's singing?"
Fang Xing nodded and said, "The singing is very good, and it has expressed what this song is about very well."
The director asked: "Then what do you think Li Caiwei's song will rank tonight?"
Fang Xing said speechlessly: "I'm not hearing the trial, how would I know, you just want to cause trouble."
The director smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just make a guess. Besides, you are not someone who is afraid of causing trouble."
Fang Xing said speechlessly: "Okay. Let me tell you straight. I think Li Caiwei's song can be in the top two tonight."
When the director heard this answer, his eyes widened immediately.
Because just now after Liu Hongsheng finished singing, Fang Xing's answer was: "I can make it into the top three."
Liu Hongsheng can be in the top three, and Li Caiwei can be in the top two.
When the two answers are put together, the topic is simply overwhelming.
The director's eyes widened and he continued to ask: "Then why don't you guess first?"
Fang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "You must want me to answer, because I haven't sung it yet. Okay, you guessed it right. There is no reason why this song won't take first place tonight. If this song doesn't take first place tonight,
One, that is the stain on my life."
The director then said, "It doesn't need to be so serious."
"No, the matter is that serious." Fang Xing stressed.
The director feels that tonight’s questions have become extremely topical.
There is no need to compete at all. As long as this segment is broadcast, it will definitely dominate the search charts.
…
the other side.
After Liu Hongsheng listened to "Clouds of Hometown" sung by Li Caiwei, his expression instantly froze.
Because he once again discovered that Li Caiwei's song was too strong and once again made him feel threatened.
The director completely ignored his inner thoughts and started asking: "Teacher Liu, what do you think of the song Li Caiwei sang tonight?"
What can Liu Hongsheng say?
He still wanted to maintain the image of being a generous king, so he could only reply: "Very good, Li Caiwei's performance today was even better than the last one."
The program team has made up its mind that this episode is going to cause trouble.
The director continued to ask: "So where do you think Li Caiwei will be ranked tonight?"
"Well... I don't know. It depends on the feeling of hearing the trial on the spot." Liu Hongsheng did not answer directly.
No matter how many questions the director asked, Liu Hongsheng just kept doing Tai Chi and would not give an accurate answer.
In fact.
The best way to deal with such troublesome questions is not to answer them.
Because if you answer that your opponent ranks high, it will boost his ambition.
If you answer that your opponent's ranking is low, if in the end your opponent's ranking is high, it will be a slap in your face.
Therefore, Liu Hongsheng answered the director's questions very skillfully and in an unmistakable way.
However, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
What worries him even more is that Fang Xing hasn't played yet.
This song "Clouds of Hometown" was produced by Fang Xing.
Fang Xing has produced such a strong song for others, so will the song he wants to sing be weak?
You know with your toes that the song Fang Xing will sing next will only be stronger.
When Liu Hongsheng thought of this, he felt panicked.
In the last game, with the theme of "family love", he was full of confidence at first, but later he was severely slapped in the face.
This time, he felt similar to the last time, and his mood was very complicated.
