Chapter 75 A program with constant surprises
In the early morning of January 1st of the following year, the December season rankings closed the data, and "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow" won the championship. However, this matter had long been a foregone conclusion and had been discussed extensively before, so it did not become the biggest topic.
The biggest topic right now is the Spring Festival Gala.
There is no topic during the Spring Festival that can compare with this thing in traffic popularity.
The king of singers will sing after singing, and there will also be regular skits, cross talk, song and dance performances, etc.
And the works sung by the kings and queens were all written by Qu Dad. It was the first time that these songs appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage. At the same time, the sound sources also appeared on major broadcast platforms, and then the competition for the January season charts officially started.
In other words... the war of the gods has begun.
Lin Zhibai doesn’t care how many gods are fighting in the January season rankings. Sooner or later, he will be one of the gods himself. Now he just wants to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his family.
The Spring Festival Gala in this world is similar to that in China. The whole family chats while watching the show, and gnaws on melon seeds and peanuts, which is very atmospheric. But it is inevitable that melon seed shells and peanut shells are all over the floor.
Of course dad is back too.
Recently, my father rarely came home from filming in other places. When the family was watching the Spring Festival Gala and chatting, he suddenly told Lin Zhibai about Feng Shuo, "That classmate of yours is quite talented. I asked him to work as an assistant to the photographer and he did a great job." .”
Feng Shuo has been recommended by Lin Zhibai to join the crew.
I also received New Year greetings from Feng Shuo on my mobile phone. Of course, not only Feng Shuo, but also Zhang Xiyang from Jiangcheng, Lin Shouzhuo, Yin Dongnuan and others also sent New Year greetings.
Lin Zhibai was chatting with his family and replying to these people at the same time. He felt that he had more and more friends. In previous years, the Spring Festival was not so lively.
It will be lively until the 3rd.
Dad returned to the set to continue filming, and Lin Shengtian also started working. This day was the official recording day of the first episode of "I Am a Singer".
Lin Zhibai was sitting in the audience.
There are about 500 spectators at the scene. These 500 people are the so-called public jury, which will vote for the singers, of course after listening to the songs.
There were audiences of all ages at the venue.
Young people, Mesozoic people, and even some elderly people, many of them came together in groups and were discussing in whispers before the program started.
“Who are the singers?”
“I don’t know.”
“It wasn’t mentioned in the trailer.”
“The trailer copy is very popular, and I was attracted to that show.”
“You can still look forward to Shinhwa’s programs.”
“That being said, there are some programs in Shinhwa that are not very good.”
“Who is the host?”
“I don’t know, is this right? It looks a bit strange, not like a host.”
In conversation.
A man wearing glasses suddenly walked to the stage, holding a microphone and said: "Welcome to our show recording site. I am the show producer and director Lin Shengtian. The first performance of "I Am a Singer" is about to begin. Everyone in the audience Twenty seconds countdown.”
The audience was stunned.
This program has a lot of personality, so why is it that the director just said a few words and it's about to start?
Where are the judges?
Where is the host?
Who will interact?
Lin Zhibai felt a little sad inexplicably. The scheduled host ran away, but his brother, one of the producers and directors, actually came on stage to open the show himself.
Sudden.
The lights dimmed.
Everyone instantly put aside other questions, only curious about the identity of the first singer to appear today.
唰!
The lights are down.
There is a singer's figure, passing through the oval door behind the scenes and walking along the light strip at his feet towards the center of the stage.
"ah!"
“Zhang Xiyang!”
“It’s him!”
"How could it be him?"
“Isn’t it Zhang Xiyang’s claim that he never participates in any variety shows?”
"Wow!"
“I was pleasantly surprised!”
“Zhang Xiyang’s scene was very scary!”
“What song can he sing?”
Everyone was a little unsure about whether there were big names in this show. If they were just unknown singers, it would be meaningless. But as soon as Zhang Xiyang appeared on the show, everyone got excited. After Zhang Xiyang became famous, he had so many fans. Even the popularity among the public is very good. No wonder when Lin Shengtian wanted to host this show, the first singer he wanted to invite was Zhang Xiyang—
Singing skills? enough!
Popularity? have!
If you can't invite the king of singers and the queen of singers, then Zhang Xiyang is the best candidate to participate in this show. Even if other singers do not perform well, he can at least take care of the situation.
At this time.
The melody comes in.
The audience was stunned for a moment after hearing the melody. This is a song with a very familiar intro.
“Fuck!”
“It’s "Years"!"
“This is Zhou Hanjin’s masterpiece. It’s too difficult to sing, and most people wouldn’t dare to cover it!”
“Zhang Xiyang Niu!”
“You really dare!”
“The first episode of the program will directly sing Zhou Hanjin’s work of conferring gods. Aren’t you afraid of being compared with the King of Songs?”
“How confident is this?”
“Aren’t you afraid of the car rolling over?”
“Zhou Hanjin himself said that he should try not to sing this song as it would easily lead to overturning.”
Listening to the audience's comments, Lin Zhibai was stunned for a moment. He had heard Zhang Xiyang sing this song during rehearsals before, but he didn't know that this song turned out to be Zhou Hanjin's masterpiece.
Lao Zhang still knows how to play.
You are teasing the King of Songs of Zhou, right?
After the prelude, the singing began. The difficulty of singing this song is indeed very high. It can be said that non-singer kings and queens dare not challenge it. It involves a lot of switching between true and false sounds. It roughly describes a man who betrayed his lover and tried to sing it. To appease one's own jokes and debunking, the lyrics are very narrative and visual. It can be said to be a satire that leaves no room for the duplicity of love between modern men and women, which requires the singer to use his voice and countless skills to interpret.
"hehe…"
At the transition from the verse to the chorus of the song, Zhang Xiyang smiled softly. The laughter was bitter, sarcastic, and a little contemptuous. It instantly made all the audience feel tense and felt as if there were ants crawling on their bodies.
“Mom!”
“So strong!”
“I love this laughter to death!”
“Why do I feel that Zhang Xiyang’s singing skills are no worse than Zhou Gewang? This song has been completely interpreted into another version, which is very amazing.”
“What a show!”
“The most terrifying thing is that while showing off his skills, his emotions are also very on point. The laugh just now, I don’t know if it was planned in advance or the atmosphere was there, it was just perfect.”
Sounds good!
Shocking!
enjoy!
This is not only the feeling of the entire audience, but also the feeling of Lin Zhibai himself.
Lin Zhibai is now considered a semi-professional singer. He used to be tone-deaf but now he can feel the other person's strength from a professional level. It is indeed too strong. In comparison, his singing skills are completely overwhelmed by the other person's. , at least now Lin Zhibai cannot sing the song Zhang Xiyang sings at all.
“Zhang Xiyang!”
“Zhang Xiyang!”
“Zhang Xiyang!”
When Zhang Xiyang finished singing this song, the whole audience shouted crazily, as if today was his concert.
"Thanks."
Zhang Xiyang, a man who looked very miserable, actually smiled at this moment, took the microphone and said to the audience: "I am the singer Zhang Xiyang."
The shouts from the audience became even more intense!
The audience was a little surprised during the shouting, because Zhang Xiyang did not step down, but stood on the stage and took out a small notebook from his arms.
What is this going to do?
While the audience was wondering, Zhang Xiyang sighed and said, "I was invited by Teacher Bai Di to participate in this program. I thought I would just sing, but the program team was too poor and said they couldn't afford a host. , let me take over as a guest host for the first time. Please bear with me if I don’t speak well..."
Good guy.
The audience was dumbfounded.
The program team is so poor. No wonder there is no host. The director just came on stage to open the show himself.
but…
How fresh!
It was so interesting to have Zhang Xiyang as a guest host. Not only did everyone not feel it was inappropriate, but they were even more excited!
What kind of host do you want?
Let Zhang Xiyang come!
The song that Zhang Xiyang just opened was so explosive that everyone was a little reluctant to let him go. It was good to be able to watch it from the stage.
correct.
Just now, Zhang Xiyang said that he participated in this program only after being invited by Bai Di. What is the relationship between Bai Di and this program team?
.
Zhang Xiyang cleared his throat: "The next logically speaking should be about reading an advertisement, but unfortunately the program team has not started soliciting advertisements yet. Of course, this is good news for me. We don't need to think about reading advertisements for the time being. Then we Directly invite the next person to sing..."
accidentally mispronounced it.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Zhang Xiyang quickly said that he wanted to do it all over again: "Then we will directly invite the next singer. He is a very senior senior, and he is also a senior who I personally like very much..."
Zhang Xiyang stumbled.
However, no audience felt it was wrong.
If a professional host makes a mistake, everyone will definitely think that this person is unprofessional and even lowers the quality of the program. However, Zhang Xiyang is a temporary guest speaker. The more stumbling he talks, the more interesting and fun everyone finds it. It can be said that the more nervous Zhang Xiyang becomes. The more mistakes they make, the more excited they become.
Isn’t this the effect of a variety show?
However, when the second singer appeared, everyone's interest dropped a lot, mainly because most of the young audience looked confused and didn't know them at all.
“Who is this?”
“Old-timer?”
“This is how Zhang Xiyang introduced me just now.”
“Even Zhang Xiyang is called senior, he must be at least fifty years old, right?”
“You don’t know him?”
“This is Teacher Xia Yulong!”
“How about the super powerful faction!”
“He was very popular when he was young, but there has been little movement in the past seven or eight years.”
“Then can he still sing?”
“Let’s listen and see.”
“Xia Yulong! My idol!”
Young audiences lack interest, but those over thirty-five are extremely excited. This program is good, and they are willing to invite such an old singer who was very popular in the past even though his fame has faded!
The younger generation has their idols.
Elders naturally have their own idols of their generation.
Xia Yulong is such an idol to older audiences, but there are not many such stages in today’s entertainment industry where these older audiences can listen to the singing of the idols of their generation!
“I am a singer, Xia Yulong.”
Xia Yulong said with a smile, and then started singing.
As soon as the melody entered, his voice followed, carrying the traces of time.
The hoarseness is full of vicissitudes of life, as if there is a strong sense of story, and the breath is very stable. The eyes of the older audience gradually turned red. This is the youth of their generation.
came back!
All are back!
Still the same taste as before!
The faces of the young audience gradually changed. Maybe many people were unfamiliar with Xia Yulong, but the song Xia Yulong sang now was his most popular work when he was young. These young people don't listen to it now, but they basically didn't listen to it when they were young. Heard it all!
“This song is so familiar!”
“I actually heard it!”
“My mother used to listen to it when I was little!”
“My dad used to listen to this song every time he drove!”
“I remember, my mother said that she often listened to this song when she was doing prenatal care. It turned out that Xia Yulong was the one who sang this song. I thought the voice was so familiar.”
“I feel a little touched for no reason.”
“You didn’t even use any high notes, but you sang it into people’s hearts.”
“This old man’s sword is still young.”
“It’s a terrible fact that he caught Zhang Xiyang’s scene. Zhang Xiyang’s song was so popular, but he actually caught it too. It’s such a classic old song with great feeling!”
Discussion room.
Someone started singing along.
At first, only the older audiences sang along, but later on, younger audiences also joined.
Young audiences may not be so familiar with the lyrics, but the melody is familiar to them. Many old songs are like this. You may not be able to name them at all, but when the melody appears, you can be sure that you can actually sing it, and you can sing it easily. Hum along.
finally.
Xia Yulong has finished singing.
The audience was somewhat unsatisfied.
A young audience member wiped his tears gently, "I didn't expect that such an old song could make me cry. I have heard it many times before. I don't know the name of the song, but I just think it sounds good."
“I didn’t feel anything about it before.”
"The melody is too old and I really don't feel it, but when I listened to it live today, it felt completely different. The arrangement seemed to be different from the original version, and the sound was also different from the one in the recording studio. In short, it was very comfortable, and it seemed to sing into people's hearts. I feel inexplicably moved.”
“I like Xia Yulong.”
“Who’s the next singer?”
“I actually kind of like this poor show.”
“Lao Xia’s song this episode is still a safe way to play. He actually knows a lot, and it’s a lot of work. If you still pay attention to this program, you’ll have to check it out.”
…
After Xia Yulong retired.
Zhang Xiyang continued to talk.
"Teacher Xia Yulong just listened to this song for the first time when I was twenty-three years old. I had just debuted not long ago. Listening to his singer, I can't help but recall those years. What kind of surprises will there be in the future? Let us invite Come up with the next singer.”
The third singer appears.
The audience was stunned, regardless of gender or age.
Mainly because this singer doesn't look like a singer at all. I can't say she's ugly. Anyway, she looks like a random aunt on the roadside. She doesn't look like someone from the entertainment industry at all.
“Who is this?”
"do not know."
“No one knows.”
“I believe that the program team is really poor now. Zhang Xiyang is the only big name, and Xia Yulong is half. This one seems to be just making up the numbers.”
“You can’t even reach the third line, right?”
“I am familiar with third-tier singers. This one is probably beyond the 18th-tier. She looks a bit like my aunt in the countryside. The key is that the clothes are so casual.”
Everyone was discussing.
Lin Zhibai raised his eyebrows slightly.
This singer is not from Shinhwa Entertainment, but was invited by Lin Shengtian from a small company.
I heard from my brother that this aunt is very powerful, but her appearance is too ordinary, and there are no good songwriters to write songs, so her incredible singing skills are somewhat buried.
That’s right.
Brother described it as "against the heavens".
This made Lin Zhibai very curious.
In this curiosity, this ordinary singer began to sing.
Just started.
No one thought much about it.
Just think that people should not be judged by their appearance, and the voice is quite deep.
But as the song progressed, the pitch of the song became higher and higher, and the audience was shocked!
Treble!
Higher pitch!
Super high treble!
Huge explosive power, almost knocking off the roof!
Lin Zhibai was even frightened, his loud and irritable voice was like a giant cannon!
Boom.
Everyone’s eardrums are trembling!
Some viewers have already started screaming!
However, the screams could not suppress the high pitch of the strange singer on the stage. Only then did everyone notice that the singer did not even wear earphones.
“Mom!”
"too horrible!"
“What kind of voice is this!”
“Where did the program team find the gods?”
“I’ve never heard this song before, it’s absolutely amazing!”
“Look at Zhang Xiyang’s face, hahahahaha, he’s scared!”
“Strong!”
“This poor program group has something good, just for the first three singers. I must follow this program in the future!”
“This person on stage is definitely a good singer who has been buried!”
Yes.
Everyone thinks that this is a good singer who has been buried.
You can tell just by looking at her appearance. This kind of appearance is definitely not popular in the entertainment industry. Besides, the aunt must be over forty years old.
but…
At this moment, everyone on the stage has ignored their looks and only focused on each other’s voices. Their rich and explosive power is terrifying.
“I am the singer Yue Shanlan.”
After singing, this mediocre singer introduced herself with red eyes. She heard the craziness and shouting at the scene.
First time in life!
So many people applaud themselves!
…
Zhang Xiyang returned to the stage, was silent for a long time, and suddenly made a joke:
“Director, can I withdraw from the competition?”
The whole audience burst into laughter, and they were even more shocked. The female singer named Yue Shanlan just now was really terrifying. Even Zhang Xiyang used this method to praise her strength.
“Very powerful.”
Zhang Xiyang said with emotion: "As a participating singer, I hope everyone will vote for me, but if I were the audience today, maybe I would consider voting for Yue Shanlan. Please remember her name. This is a great opportunity for all music lovers." , the name everyone should remember, her name is..."
“Yue Shanlan!”
The audience in the audience shouted, and at the same time they were full of respect for Zhang Xiyang.
Although his hosting was not professional enough, the character he displayed deserves deep respect. It is really rare to praise his opponent so sincerely.
“I’ve fallen in love with his jerky hosting style.”
Some viewers laughed.
Many viewers agreed.
Even Lin Zhibai agreed.
Previously, Lin Zhibai wanted Lin Shouzhuo to be the singer's speaker.
Because Lin Shouzhuo is young and has a lively mind, he is obviously better at talking than other first-time singers.
Brother, however, insisted on saying:
A taciturn singer like Zhang Xiyang will work wonders as the host.
It turns out that my brother is right.
This is a mature variety artist with very precise and vicious judgment.
Subsequently.
The fourth singer appears.
Another very old singer.
However, after experiencing the shock brought by the first three singers, everyone no longer picks on whether the fame of these singers is outdated.
This is a stage where strength is measured.
Facts have also proved that the fourth singer is equally good.
Although the fourth singer behind Yue Shanlan suffered a lot and made some mistakes at the beginning, he adjusted his condition later and sang better and better.
Not as certain as the first three.
However, it is definitely a strong performance, and it also affected the audience. Many people cried at the end. This competition seems to be more tear-jerking than any other music program.
certainly.
The first three are stronger.
But it would be too much for this show to require every singer to be as strong as the first three. Besides, this is a competition. If everyone is equally strong, who will be eliminated?
…
And then.
The fifth singer appears.
After singing the song, the whole audience was discussing, and the atmosphere was completely aroused. The singers in this show were all great, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations!
“Almost the same as the fourth one.”
“I know him, a very popular singer in a small circle, a **** among the small crowd!”
“It doesn’t feel like a niche.”
"As for the song selection, this style is not what he is best at. He is probably afraid that the audience will not accept it."
“I feel he is a little weaker than the fourth one.”
“But this kind of love song has a very unique style.”
“That’s right.”
“This style doesn’t give me an advantage in games, but I quite like it.”
In conversation.
The sixth singer appears.
This is a very young female singer.
Some people didn’t know her, and some people screamed in surprise when they saw this female singer appear!
"ah!"
"is her!"
“The iron-lunged little diva!”
“Little diva?”
"How did I not hear it being said?"
"She debuted in Qizhou. It's normal if you don't recognize her. She just came to our Qinzhou music scene not long ago, but she is very strong and an absolutely talented female singer. I didn't expect that the program team actually found her. !”
"Yeah?"
Some viewers listened with suspicion.
However, soon, the audience had to believe it!
This is really a talented female singer. She is only in her twenties, but her singing skills are no less than those of her predecessors!
more importantly…
She is also very beautiful!
Although this is a stage that focuses on singing skills, everyone likes beautiful girls.
A pretty girl with no singing skills will be criticized when she comes, but what if a pretty girl has great singing skills?
“It’s not simple!”
“I feel like she might be on fire!”
“Is she popular over there in Qizhou?”
“It’s relatively popular, but among the younger generation. By the way, she’s also a singer-songwriter. She wrote this song herself. I’m a fan of hers, so I know it very well.”
“Singer-songwriter?”
“Same as Chu Ci?”
“Who is Chu Ci?”
“It’s the song “Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow” last month, which was on the hot search list. I also wrote and sang the song myself.”
“That’s pretty much it.”
"But this girl should be more powerful. She has been writing songs by herself when she was eighteen years old, and her results are very good."
…
Lin Zhibai listened silently, his eyes thoughtful.
This young female singer has something, or is she a singer-songwriter?
It seems that my sister recommended it to my brother.
It seems that my sister is also very good at discovering singers.
At present, the strongest ones are still the first three, but this one is close to the level of the top three.
Taking into account that there are too many factors that affect the game.
Lin Zhibai feels that this female singer can also compete with the top three.
.
Lin Zhibai suddenly sweated for Lin Shouzhuo.
If Lin Shouzhuo is put into this show, can Lin Shouzhuo withstand it?
This issue is not bad.
Lin Shouzhuo’s ranking should not be bad, he has “People Like Me” as his backbone.
What about the next issue?
Lin Zhibai can’t help Lin Shouzhuo write new songs every issue.
“Let’s see what he is capable of.”
Lin Shouzhuo's singing skills are not weak, Lin Zhibai thinks that he can still look forward to it.
In this expectation.
The sixth singer has finished singing.
Lin Shouzhuo slowly walked onto the stage after Zhang Xiyang came to host. He was the seventh singer and the last singer today.
“Another young man.”
“Lin Shouzhuo!”
“My bracelet!”
"Oh, it's him, "Xiaocou", right?"
“Yes, that’s the song written by Bai Di. I like that song very much!”
"Will he sing "Xiaochou" this time?"
“It may not be possible to sing “Xiaochou” on this stage.”
“But he has a pretty good voice.”
“He and the female singer in front are the youngest ones on the show.”
“He has a name, Han Yueshuang.”
“I forgot for a moment…”
“Listen to the song, Lin Shouzhuo is about to start.”
