For this preliminary competition, thirty-six guest seats have been added to the upper left side of the stage. Thirty-six singers with excellent singing skills have already occupied nine of the guest seats before the start of the competition.
When the competition starts, the computer randomly selects singers for the contestants.
The singer sang random songs a cappella again.
On the stage, pianists were sweating profusely as they accompanied the singers' singing, some of which were melodious and harmonious.
There are also those that are completely opposite, like the scene of a car accident.
Among them, some people successfully advanced and some were eliminated.
But after each piece was played, it elicited a burst of applause from thousands of spectators.
Soon, it was the turn of the musical version of the first sister, Zero Zero Monster, to appear.
A randomly selected singer sang "River Bend" a cappella. This is a folk song with a summery atmosphere. The rhythm is slow and beautiful. Ling Lingyao used canon-style music without much effort.
The composition technique is accompanied by the accompaniment, and the connection is appropriate, which can be called a match made in heaven.
It is worth mentioning that most of the songs performed by the live singers are original compositions and are works that have not been released on the market. Even if there are works that have been released, most of them are less popular.
This further tests the pianists’ ability to improvise accompaniment.
When Ling Lingyao appeared, the number of people in the official live broadcast room still increased to more than 5 million.
In addition, more than 4 million people are watching the official live broadcast room in the Northern Division at the same time, while the number of people in the live broadcast room in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Division is also around 4 million.
In other words, at this moment, there are more than 13 million viewers watching the live broadcast of the One Emperor and Four Emperors Piano Competition.
This is enough to reflect the popularity of piano among the people.
Especially since it is still the qualifying stage.
According to past experience, by the time of the regional finals and the world finals, it will be easy for the number of live broadcasts to exceed 100 million.
The momentum of this year's competition is obviously stronger than that of the previous two years. Major advertising investors are coming in droves. On the overseas version of Jili Gulu live broadcast website, almost tens of millions of viewers in the five international competition areas are watching the live broadcast.
This is a real battle for fame. Anyone who can perform in the competition area can basically make a name for himself.
Even those pianists who have been famous for a long time, there are many who cannot resist the temptation and go to the sea to participate in the competition in person.
Soon, the next group of players who will compete in the PK was displayed on the big screen.
"Asdfghj" VS "Tang Hong"!
…
"it's your turn!"
After Fu Xiaoci saw the list, he immediately put his phone aside, jumped to Liao Yuan's side and began to squeeze his shoulders and back, "Uncle A, go! go! go! Let them know how powerful the Qin Emperor is!"
"Qin Emperor?" Liao Yuan asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"The nickname given to you by the guys in the live broadcast room!"
Fu Xiaoci chuckled: "They all say you have the strength of the Qin Emperor!"
Liao Yuan snorted and ignored it. After the results of the previous group of contestants came out, he stood up and prepared to walk on the stage.
But at this moment, the whole audience suddenly burst into loud cheers.
On the other side, contestant Tang Hong also strode forward. When the camera focused on Tang Hong, everyone was excited!
Fu Xiaoci looked intently and was stunned, "It's actually her!"
"Who?" Liao Yuan asked.
Fu Xiaoci said excitedly: "Olympic champion Tang Hong!"
Liao Yuan was stunned.
How could there be an Olympic champion at the piano competition?
But after getting to know him, Liao Yuan was in awe.
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which attracted worldwide attention, young Chinese female weightlifter Tang Hong competed with world-class female weightlifters from the United States, Turkey, and Russia.
She kept challenging the limits, and at the last moment she actually lifted a 200KG barbell, which shocked the world!
What shocked people was not just that Tang Hong lifted the 200KG barbell, but the entire weightlifting process.
Weightlifting is divided into snatch and clean and jerk. After several rounds of competition, seeing the results were deadlocked, Tang Hong finally decided to challenge the limit and challenge 200KG.
In the camera, hundreds of millions of people clearly saw that when Tang Hong was performing the snatch movement, the veins on his forehead, neck, and arms burst directly, but even so, Tang Hong still firmly grasped the barbell
.
After the snatch is completed, it's time to clean and jerk.
When Tang Hong surpassed her limit and challenged the 200K barbell that she had never succeeded before, people all over the country felt honored and worried about her.
When she lifted the barbell vigorously, at that moment, hundreds of millions of people cheered, and audiences around the world applauded Tang Hong.
She is the undisputed champion!
Although when she stepped down, she was bleeding from seven holes and was extremely weak. She was rushed to the hospital.
But that shocking move still crowned her the crown, making her a legend as a weightlifting queen!
Because of regular exercise, the whole body is full of muscles, which makes the whole person look very strong, but it is such a big queen who actually appeared at the piano competition.
Speaking of which, Tang Hong's appearance did not attract the attention of the audience in the first qualifying match. It was only after she finished the game and successfully advanced that the audience realized it later and asked everywhere whether it was true or false. The news soon became public.
Obtained official identification.
In the past few days, in the hot searches on Weibo, #一帝四皇唐红#, #athlete Tanghong# and other hot search terms have been at the top of the list. No one can imagine that a man of steel can actually sit in front of the piano.
Play elegantly.
The strange yet harmonious image made Tang Hong become a hot topic in an instant.
Almost all of the 7,000 spectators who came to the scene today wanted to see Tang Hong compete with their own eyes.
But no one expected that Tang Hong would actually compete with Uncle A on the same stage!
Even if you imagine it with the soles of your feet, Uncle A's strength will definitely crush Tang Hong...
Liao Yuan felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
Under the spotlight, after he walked onto the stage, he threw away his previous aloof image and actually reached out to Tang Hong proactively.
The whole audience burst into cheers.
Tang Hong was stunned, but she still shook hands with Liao Yuan happily: "Uncle A, I am your fan and I am very happy to meet you!"
"I am also a fan of yours, Teacher Tang." Liao Yuan said.
The host smiled and said: "Okay, although I really want to see the two business braggings, the game is a game after all. If you have anything to say, you two can talk about it after the game, okay?"
Tang Hong said carelessly: "Okay, okay."
Liao Yuan also said: "It's time to start."
The host nodded and let the computer randomly select corresponding singers and songs for the two contestants.
The results came out quickly.
The selected singer is a female in her early thirties. Judging from the information displayed on the big screen, she is a university teacher at the Imperial Conservatory of Music, specializing in bel canto, chorus, etc.
The name of the song is "Sky".
There are no lyrics in the sky, the whole process is sung by the vocal teacher, and the contestants need to improvise accompaniment according to the singer's singing.
For Liao Yuan, although it was a little difficult, he didn't pay too much attention because he was mentally prepared.
But Tang Hong was completely bitter. Obviously, this kind of wordless songs sung with a singing voice made it more difficult for her to accompany songs than songs with lyrics.
Fortunately, the first one to appear was Liao Yuan.
For the players who come up later, this definitely has more advantages than disadvantages, as it gives them time to learn and think.
