Chapter 414 The shock brought by Wang Zha’s new song, “Qili Xiang”
"The songs in this program all sound pretty good."
"Indeed, I think the quality is quite good. It may be the best period for all players so far."
"It's too early to draw such a conclusion now. Don't forget that Wu Xiaomin hasn't even sung yet."
At the recording site of "The Masked Singer", the audience was discussing happily.
Just now Yu Feifei's song "Red High Heels" not only received a high number of 93 votes, but also received a high rating from the general audience.
Of course, as many viewers think.
Even Xiong Lu and many media judges actually felt that Wu Xiaomin, who will appear next, will be the failure of this program.
The main reason is that the opponent's performance has been too unstable.
Not to mention my poor singing skills and live performances, even the quality of the new songs I originally wrote is not guaranteed.
There are not many high-quality songs released before.
Being able to persevere until now and not being eliminated is considered by many to be just bad luck.
......
At this time, Wu Xiaomin backstage also felt under a lot of pressure.
The previous players all performed very well, and he was the penultimate player in the finale.
It’s impossible not to think about anything.
Although only one person will be eliminated from this program, Zeng Yinfei, who had the lowest number of votes, received 85 votes.
In other words, if he does not have 85 votes, it will be very dangerous.
Because the last person to appear is the faceless man.
The probability of the other party making a mistake with less than this number of votes is really too low.
From the time the show was broadcast to now, the performance of the Faceless Man is obvious to all, and the songs in almost every episode of the show are the most popular.
Therefore, his biggest hope now is to surpass Zeng Yinfei, and at least get more than 85 votes.
Of course, although she was a little worried, Wu Xiaomin was still confident.
He has been preparing this song for such a long time, and since there are no restrictions on the theme, it can be regarded as a song that he has written to the best of his ability.
And no matter what the outcome of participating in the show this time, he has already made up his mind.
That is to terminate the contract with his original agency.
He has now come to his senses. The current company, apart from sucking his blood and having a bunch of people flattering him every day, has almost no real help to him.
......
"Next, we invite the singer king to give us his performance."
......
As the host spoke, Wu Xiaomin, wearing a mask, also walked onto the stage.
This time, his mentality is completely different from that in previous episodes of the show.
When I first joined the show, I was arrogant and wanted to defeat Xu Ji and the Faceless Man.
In fact, his performance was not to surpass anyone, but to prove himself.
""Miracle""
"Singing: The King"
"Composer:King"
"Lyrics:King"
......
The brisk guitar sound sounded, and the accompaniment arrangement was not very gorgeous, but the melody was quite memorable.
When Xiong Lu heard the accompaniment playing, she was actually a little surprised.
Mainly because of the songs written by Wu Xiaomin himself before, which are actually more inclined to show off one's skills.
I feel like I am eager to tell everyone how awesome I am
This is the first time I heard something like this.
As Wu Xiaomin’s singing begins.
The audience at the scene was gradually attracted by his singing.
There isn’t much singing skills, or it can be said to be quite pure.
But it is precisely this way of singing that makes Wu Xiaomin's own shortcomings of poor singing ability be covered up a lot.
The opponent actually performed quite well.
And until the chorus, there was no mistake at all.
This performance indeed exceeded the expectations of most people, including Xiong Lu.
No one knows what kind of psychological changes Wu Xiaomin has experienced during this period, but it has to be admitted that Wu Xiaomin has made progress, and the progress is very obvious.
The song itself is also quite well written.
It's a heartfelt song and quite touching.
The lyrics are not weak either. Even when Xiong Lu saw a few lines of the chorus, he couldn't help but want to praise them.
......
"Oh my God, there really aren't any contestants performing crotch stretching in this show?"
After Wu Xiaomin's performance, Xiong Lu couldn't help but sigh.
Who would have thought that Wu Xiaomin, who is most prone to problems, would actually perform at such a level.
The five songs so far are not only original new songs, but the quality of the songs themselves is also quite high.
This was something Xiong Lu never expected before coming to participate in the recording of the program.
Of course, although his impression of Wu Xiaomin was not very good before, Xiong Lu was still quite fair.
Taking matters into consideration, I still voted for Wu Xiaomin’s performance just now.
"Singer King, the final number of votes for "Miracle" is..."
"94 votes!"
When the votes came out, there were a lot of exclamations at the scene.
Such results are, for many people, something they had never imagined before.
A singer like Wu Xiaomin, who everyone thought would be eliminated in this round, suddenly became the top contestant with the most votes.
The contrast is really too great.
Xiong Lu was also a little surprised, although the song Wu Xiaomin just played was indeed of high quality.
Of course, there is no big problem with 90 or more votes.
But compared with Yu Feifei's previous performances, it's really not necessarily possible to win.
The only reason that can explain the high number of votes is probably because the surprise brought by Wu Xiaomin was too big.
Yu Feifei originally sang Xu Ji's song, so before everyone started singing, they actually didn't think the song would be any bad.
But Wu Xiaomin was different. Before he performed on stage, many media judges, including Xiong Lu, felt that Wu Xiaomin's performance would not be very good.
Who knew that the other party would actually write such a high-quality song.
And I didn’t make any mistakes during the performance, and my performance can be said to be quite good.
The surprise brought by exceeding expectations has also become a bonus for subsequent votes.
Looking at it this way, the score of 94 votes seems understandable.
......
Wu Xiaomin obviously didn't expect that she would get such a high number of votes.
The whole person looked very happy.
From the time he participated in the show to now, his reputation has been declining, and his popularity has been basically exhausted.
Except for some die-hard fans, most ordinary viewers hate him.
Wu Xiaomin also knows this very well.
Before, although he said he didn't care, he was actually very sad inside.
However, after I thought about my position clearly and determined that I would be a powerful singer and a master of songwriters and lyrics in the future, I actually felt like I had an epiphany.
I have also made up my mind to terminate my contract with my current company.
When writing songs, I no longer deliberately want to prove myself.
Instead, I started to really put my energy into the song itself.
After Wu Xiaomin recognized himself, people still had to admit that he did have some talent in music.
The person in the worst mood at this time was Zeng Yinfei, who was already feeling a little worried.
But I am still placing my hope on Wu Xiaomin.
After all, I feel that the opponent is likely to perform poorly and become the player with the lowest number of votes.
But who knew that Wu Xiaomin would suddenly cheat in this issue?
Got the highest number of votes so far.
In this case, if the number of votes for the subsequent Faceless Man is higher than him, he will eventually face elimination.
The key is that Zeng Yinfei doesn’t think that the Faceless Man in this issue will perform abnormally.
His elimination seems to have become a foregone conclusion at this time.
The most important thing is that the other four contestants, even the Faceless Man and the Redeemer whose identities are unknown, must not be too old.
On the contrary, he, an old-timer and the only top-tier singer, will be the contestant who gets eliminated at the bottom with the votes.
It's really a bit embarrassing.
......
So far in this program, the only one left who has not performed yet is the Faceless Man.
Even the Faceless Man must be under a lot of pressure when the previous players performed so well, right?
Xiong Lu couldn't help but think.
In this program, in addition to Xu Ji who performed a very high-quality song "Red High Heels", several other people also performed well.
Especially the two original new songs written by Redeemer and Wu Xiaomin, who are also songwriters, are of very high quality.
Faceless Man, who has been judged by netizens before to be able to compete with Xu Ji, if the quality of his songs is not good for even one period, he will definitely become a point of siege by black fans.
Of course, Xiong Lu actually thinks this is quite normal.
After all, not everyone can guarantee that the quality of each of their songs is so high.
Except for Xu Ji, that guy has written so many songs since his debut. Although the popularity may be high or low, there is basically no shortage of people who like it.
And there are songs of various styles.
It’s really too evil.
Even though Faceless Man has been participating in this program till now, the songs he writes in every episode are still pretty good.
But after all, the total number of songs is not too many.
At least it is incomparable to Xu Ji.
......
Just when Xiong Lu was thinking about this, the faceless man wearing his own distinctive headgear also walked onto the stage.
Unlike Xiong Lu, the faceless man on the stage at this time, Xu Ji, was not worried at all.
When he comes this time, the songs he prepared are unlikely to fail.
It’s a small surprise.
The main reason is that this show is almost over, Xu Ji must have prepared a few songs that can be really popular.
The popularity of the Faceless Man is still quite high.
Although Wu Xiaomin’s previous performance impressed many people.
But after seeing the faceless man, the audience was still very excited.
It wasn’t even too affected by Wu Xiaomin’s previous performance.
In fact, generally speaking, it is not a good thing if the previous singer's program leaves too deep an impression on the audience.
It will definitely affect the singers who appear later.
But if the audience expects too much from the singers behind them, there won’t be such a problem.
The same is true for the faceless man who appeared behind Wu Xiaomin at this time.
......
The piano sounded slowly, and the prelude made Xiong Lu's eyes light up.
At the same time, song information also appeared on the big screen behind the faceless man.
""Qilixiang""
"Singing: Faceless Man"
"Lyrics: Faceless Man"
"Composer: Faceless Man"
As for the Faceless Man’s song, Xiong Lu actually hasn’t found a suitable style to define him yet.
Even if it is a prescribed theme and the Chinese style pioneered by Xu Ji, the Faceless Man can still write something of his own taste.
Obviously, the most similar thing between the Faceless Man and Xu Ji is that the genres he is good at are quite varied.
This is also the reason why Xiong Luhui suspected that the faceless man was Xu Ji.
Although such speculation has now been denied by herself.
But Xiong Lu can be confident that his research on faceless men is quite in-depth.
Of course, even after studying for so long, there is still no way to determine what kind of song the faceless man will sing.
At this time, the faceless man on the stage also started singing.
"The sparrow outside the window is talking too much on the telephone pole"
"What you said makes it feel like summer"
......
As soon as the Faceless Man's song came out, Xiong Lu felt goosebumps all over his body.
While the intro is quite stunning, the Faceless Man’s singing also successfully captured the feeling of the intro.
With just two simple lyrics, a picture of summer emerged.
There are not many songs that can remind people of certain images. The songs that can do this are basically of very high quality, and most of them will become classics.
At the same time, the faceless man's singing on the stage continued.
"Both the cat and you want to know the taste of saury"
"This is how we find the fragrance of first love"
......
It's natural, this was Xiong Lu's first feeling when she heard this song.
Even though the melody of the song is excellent, the intro and interlude are astonishing, and there are many kinds of musical instruments in it that are extremely harmonious, they are not what Xiong Lu pays most attention to.
In other words, it is precisely because these elements added together give Xiong Lu such a natural feeling.
This song cannot be written simply by relying on talent and so-called basic skills.
Instead, we need that sudden flash of inspiration.
The song "The Faceless Man" gave Xiong Lu the feeling that the other party was really lucky.
This kind of pop song is probably the level that many songwriters can only dream of writing.
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain"
"The fallen leaves in the yard are thick with my thoughts"
In the chorus part, the very smooth melody brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.
Regardless of the composition, the lyrics are also very particular.
Sparrows, pencils, strawberries, cats, saury...a series of concrete writing methods can easily bring related pictures to mind.
Love songs are indeed the most numerous song type at present.
Especially pop love songs are the easiest to write for many songwriters.
But if you want to write well, whether it is melody, lyrics, or even accompaniment, it is very important.
In Xiong Lu's opinion, the song "Qili Xiang" by the Faceless Man definitely achieved the top level in all aspects.
Such a song, whether it becomes a hit or not, is likely to become a future classic.
The previous contestants may have performed quite well in this episode.
But compared with the Faceless Man, it's not on the same level at all.
