"I'd like to invite contestant No. 007 Lu Chen to come on stage!"
Following the enthusiastic shouts of the live host, Lu Chen stepped onto the already familiar stage.
The studio hall of Beijing Satellite TV was rearranged to give people a refreshing feeling. The 1,500 audience seats were all occupied, and the four heavyweight judges Tan Hong, Filia Chen, Lin Zhijie and Zhen Zhen were all present.
On the last day of July, the competition for the top 16 of the Beijing Singing Area of "Singing China" was held here on time.
This is also the last final of the Beijing singing area. The top ten contestants selected tonight will set off from the capital at the beginning of next month and go to major singing areas to perform tours and compete to determine the top ten in the country.
Therefore, this game is extremely important and attracts much attention!
"Good evening to the four judges and teachers, and hello to all the audience friends!"
Standing in front of the microphone, Lu Chen first bowed to the judges' table and then saluted to the audience seats on the left and right: "I am contestant No. 007 Lu Chen!"
The order of the top 16 contestants in the Beijing singing area was determined through computer ranking. There were already 6 contestants in front of Lu Chen, and their singing was quite exciting.
I don’t know if it’s because of Lu Chen’s influence, but two of the contestants also came up with their own original works!
In most reality talent shows, especially singing competitions, the weight of original works is always higher than covers, and they can get a lot of bonus points.
Encouraging original works is the mainstream attitude. In addition, the broad audience also needs freshness. Even if it is a cover, many singers like to rearrange the original works, and even deliberately increase the difficulty to increase the gold content of their singing.
But there is a premise here, that is, the quality of the original work cannot be too bad, otherwise it will only be self-defeating!
Talent is higher than singing skills, and singing skills are higher than appearance. Anyone who can be among the top 16 in the Beijing singing area is not a weakling.
"Ocean of Love" by Contestant No. 002 Zhang Junhua, and "Memorial Day" by Contestant No. 005 Zuo Qiuqing. They are both very good works. They both received high ratings from the judges and the audience inside and outside the venue.
The two currently rank 1st and 2nd respectively in the top 16 rankings!
Different from the promotion competition in which 16 advance to the top 10, this final in the Beijing singing area is a real live broadcast, so a real-time scoring and counting method is used. Contestants can get their scores immediately after singing.
For contestants, the change in scoring methods tests their psychological quality to a considerable extent.
They need to work harder in singing and not make any mistakes.
The outstanding performance of Zhang Junhua and Zuo Qiuqing undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Lu Chen, who played in seventh place.
If Lu Chen's "Walking and Singing" performed well in the qualifying round, then his song "My Deskmate" in the top 16 of the 32nd round undoubtedly made him steal the show.
Three of the four judges gave a perfect score of 10, with a total score of 39, ranking first, and finally won the top spot of the top 16. It was well deserved and there was no objection.
The subsequent debate that broke out on Sky Forum and Inspur Blog pushed Lu Chen to the forefront. His name became known to more people, and he was even regarded as a singing genius among the new generation.
Not convinced? Then try writing a classic like "In Spring"!
As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind. Even though Lu Chen won honors and fame, he also became the object of envy, jealousy and hatred of many people. I don’t know how many people were watching the Beijing singing district finals he participated in!
No one thinks that Lu Chen will not be selected into the top 10 in Beijing, but if he doesn't sing well enough or can't come up with original works of sufficient weight, then some people will have something to say.
Zhang Junhua and Zuo Qiuqing in front are the best weapons of attack.
Therefore, everyone can imagine that once there is a problem with Lu Chen's performance, comments such as "the talent is exhausted" or even "the donkey is exhausted" will undoubtedly be poured on his head like a torrential rain.
The most important thing is that Lu Chen was promoted by Beijing Satellite TV to compete with Ling Xiaoxiao, who was promoted by Xiangnan Satellite TV. The performance of both parties will affect the ratings of the two talent shows to a certain extent.
If Lu Chen's performance is poor, it would be weird if Hunan Satellite TV didn't do something behind the scenes!
Is the face of this local satellite TV station so easy to beat?
As a result, Lu Chen's pressure to play became even greater.
In the official forum of "Singing China", many fans are already worried about Lu Chen.
At the same time, controversy is inevitable.
"Lu Chen is coming on stage, I'm really looking forward to his new song!"
"Zhang Junhua and Zuo Qiuqing are both very strong. If he wants to take the top spot again this time, I'm afraid it's a bit of a cliffhanger!"
"How did the person upstairs know that he was going to sing a new song? Maybe it was a cover of someone else's work?"
"Tch! How is that possible? Filia Chen even said that she wants to listen to Lu Chen's new songs. Even if she is holding it back, she can sing out one song!"
"Do you think Lu Chen really wrote all his songs himself? That's amazing."
"It's not impossible to buy songs. Many people do it."
"Don't be ridiculous, Lu Chen only knows how to sell songs to others. He needs to buy songs from others? What a joke!"
"That's right, we Lu Chen will never lose to anyone."
"Hahaha, covering other people's songs? Do you know how many original works Lu Chen has?"
"How many?"
"We'll see!"
The official post forum of "Singing China" has not been established for a long time, but it already has more than 2 million followers.
Due to the good interactivity of Tieba and the live broadcast content on the Internet, thousands of members of the Lu Family Army have come here to support Lu Chen since he entered the competition.
Up to now, the official post forum of "Singing China" has almost become a branch of Lu Jiajun. The number of active fans in it is quite amazing, and it has also influenced a large number of passers-by to become fans.
Seeing others worrying or even questioning Lu Chen's strength, many Lu fans laughed.
Will Lu Chen be unable to produce good original works?
What a big joke!
During the last [Whale TV] PK themed show, Lu Chen came up with seven or eight original works in one breath, and finally won the runner-up in the PK competition. The entire live video is still hanging in the [Whale TV] forum!
Each of these works is good to listen to, and some are classics. However, the circle of online live broadcasts is relatively closed, and Lu Chen does not have any hype and promotion, so people outside the circle don't know much, otherwise there is no need to question his ability.
This time in the Beijing Singing Area Finals of "Singing China", Lu Chen had a lot of works to choose from.
The only question is. Which song does he choose?
Of course, Lu Chen's fans support Lu Chen, but if there are fans, there will always be opponents. The post forums are always a mixed bag, and when you see Lu fans being so confident and arrogant, it is inevitable that some people will look at it and ridicule him.
"Lu Fan is really good at blowing!"
"You don't have to pay taxes when you brag, so what's wrong with you? Haha."
"Dance happily now, don't cover your face later!"
"Since you have written so many songs and are so great, why haven't you heard of them before?"
"hehe…"
Heizi started to spray. Of course, the mainland fans were not to be outdone, and the two sides started fighting on the spot.
It's just that no matter how fierce the commotion is in the online forum, it will not affect the live broadcast of "Singing China" at all.
"Hello Lu Chen, we meet again..."
The first person to greet Lu Chen was Filia Chen. She smiled and said, "What song have you prepared for everyone today?"
Lu Chen replied: "What I have prepared for you today is my own original work. This song is also my personal favorite. I hope you all like it. I also ask the four judges and teachers to give me some advice."
"good!"
Filia Chen raised her arms and clapped her palms: "We are all looking forward to it!"
The audience at the scene was very considerate and applauded.
Lin Zhijie said: "Lu Chen, everyone has listened to several of your works now, and they are all excellent. So may I ask, what made you embark on this music path?"
Different from the previous promotion round, the number of contestants in this final has been reduced by half, so the program time is relatively ample, and there are more opportunities for interaction between the judges and contestants.
Therefore, according to the requirements of the program director, the judges need to ask questions to the contestants before they sing.
In addition, in order to ensure the authenticity of the program, the judges' questions were prepared in advance. However, the contestants were not informed in advance.
Therefore, the language and reaction skills of the players are particularly important at this time.
Lu Chen thought for a while and replied: "I used to like music. I learned piano and guitar playing and singing. But at that time, I studied music more to chase girls..."
"Hehehe..."
Hearing Lu Chen's answer, several judges and many audience members laughed.
interesting.
Filia Chen smiled and said: "You still need to take the initiative to chase girls? I think few girls can refuse you, right?"
Lu Chen is tall, handsome and talented. Many girls should actively pursue a guy like him!
Zhen Zhen asked: "So you are not a music major?"
Lu Chen replied: "Yes, I graduated from the Computer Science Department of Jianghai University."
Computer studies!
His answer amazed everyone, and there was a buzz of discussion.
Many people think that Lu Chen majored in music and that's why he was able to create such outstanding works.
But he didn't expect that what he studied had little to do with music.
At this time, Tan Hong spoke: "So what motivates you to participate in the Sing China Competition now?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and replied: "Let's make money. I want to make a lot of money."
This answer once again surprised everyone.
Many people thought that Lu Chen would answer that it was to realize his music dream or wish, because several contestants had answered the same question before, and their answers were almost the same.
Only Lu Chen said that he was doing it to make money!
Who doesn’t want to make money? But isn’t it good to say it directly like this? Will it damage the image?
But think about it from another perspective, at least Lu Chen is honest!
Tan Hong and Filia Chen looked at each other, and the latter said: "Then start your performance, come on!"
Lu Chen nodded and smiled——
