Chapter 119: The mountains and rivers are safe, and fireworks are normal

Before setting off, Bai Youlou helped Zhang Xiaorong discuss which songs to sing.

Of course, the first song is naturally the most important. Although the first episode is only for ranking and there is no elimination, the exciting elimination phase will not begin until the second episode when the challenge singers appear.

But there is no need to say much about the importance of the first song in the first episode.

First of all, one thing needs to be made clear: Zhang Xiaorong will not be able to win the championship of the show "Singer".

Even if she had the humanoid plug-in Bai Youlou, she couldn't get it.

No matter how well Zhang Xiaorong sings or how great her songs are, as long as Mango TV still wants to continue the "Singer" program, it will absolutely not give the championship to her.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaorong didn't go for the championship.
Sometimes you don’t have to win the championship to prove something.

Just like Bai Youlou was eliminated early on the stage of "The Voice of China", so what?

As long as the "conditions" are good enough and powerful enough, he can still transform the program into his shape.

But~
It is impossible for the "Singer" program to give the championship to Zhang Xiaorong. This program has more than ten episodes and there are rankings in each episode.

Since we are destined to not win in the end, let’s just beat them to pieces at the very beginning!
Without hesitation, the first song he picked out for Zhang Xiaorong was a song that “absolutely cannot lose”.

"The audience has entered the venue. All departments are ready. The last ten minutes."

Before the program officially started recording, the singers participating in the program became more or less nervous.

After all, most of them are successful singers. Now they have to compete with each other. It’s not that they can’t afford to lose. Well, it’s just that they can’t afford to lose.

Under the camera of the program crew, the expressions of these singers are very interesting.

Deep in thought, looking around, having awkward conversations with the singer's agent. There are all kinds of things.

They are singers, not actors.

We are indeed not professionals in this area, and it is easy for the audience to catch the clues and start pointing fingers. This is also one of the effects the program team wants.

"Welcome to "Singer". I am the host Yu Zhan, thank you to the sponsor of this program."

Maybe because all the hosts have become singers’ agents, the program team chose to let one of the invited singer guests be the host.

The level of the host doesn't matter, even if he stumbles or speaks slowly, as long as he can pronounce all the words.

Being unprofessional is also one of the highlights.

When the "host" finished speaking the lyrics with sweat all over his forehead, he seemed to feel relieved, "Now let's welcome the first singer to perform today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room dimmed and Zhang Xiaorong emerged from the dim light, her skirt swaying.

She was wearing an exquisite white long dress, making her look like an immortal.

With this look, she immediately attracted everyone's attention as she stood in the middle of the stage.

Her looks are top-notch even in the entertainment industry, let alone in the music industry, which is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

The other singers look a bit unbalanced.

"She is so beautiful! She should be an actress!" A singer seemed to be praising Zhang Xiaorong's appearance.

The singer's manager immediately nodded and said, "Indeed, when she stands in the middle of the stage, she is simply a star-grabbing presence. She is so beautiful! The look is also a good choice, but the real proof is in her performance."

That’s right~that’s what I mean.

In the battlefield where professional singers compete with each other, is it useful to be beautiful?
This kind of evaluation is somewhat ambiguous, but of course, there are also genuine praises.

For example, Yu Zhan, who had "suffered a loss" at Bai Youlou's hands, praised Zhang Xiaorong highly.

It was so sincere, as if he had turned into a dog licker on the spot.

The singer's agent next to him was a little confused. What happened to Teacher Yu?

Well, after all, he was the man who was beaten up in the face by Bai Youlou with "Miss Dong".

Yu Zhan said that he could doubt Zhang Xiaorong's strength, but he would never doubt the strength of the man behind this girl!

He is very good at "emergency avoidance". After Bai Youlou "overturned the verdict", the one who reacted the fastest was Yu Zhan.

The non-stick pan statement was copied by many people.

Yu Zhan’s inner thoughts: You may not believe this, but when I saw the title of that new song, I had a bad feeling.

Some are boastful, some are skeptical and ambiguous, and some are more straightforward.

When the big sister of the music industry Li Ying saw Zhang Xiaorong, she subconsciously exclaimed "Wow~" and the singer's agent thought she was going to praise her.

As a result, Li Ying turned around and said, "Being pretty is useless here! Don't be a useless person."

Program Group: 6
To be honest, this elder sister's explosive remarks made those who wanted to stir up trouble a little hesitant.

Or you should cut her hair. Otherwise, she will be scolded to death by the audience.

Good news: Big Sister is awesome and the show is great.

Bad news: The big sister is awesome, the show is so good.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaorong on the stage could not hear the comments of other people in the lounge, as she was already building up her emotions.

The biggest problem with her singing before was the lack of emotion, mainly because she couldn't really put herself into the story.
So, Bai Youlou gave her some "make-up lessons".

He doesn't have the ability to turn Zhang Xiaorong, an acting black hole, into a qualified actor, but he can help her get into the emotions.

This aspect was also taken into consideration when selecting the songs this time.

For Zhang Xiaorong, who has never been in love, it is difficult for her to generate any feelings or resonance when singing songs with love as the theme; she cannot express any bitterness or regret at all.

Not to mention that Bai Youlou was not here this time.
So~if we can’t do small love, let’s do big love!

Take a deep breath, Zhang Xiaorong is ready!

Nodded at the band teachers.

If someone observes the expressions of the live band teachers at this time, they will find that they are quite serious.

Because every singer had rehearsed with the live band before, they knew what kind of song "As Wish" was.

Dare not be serious!
Zhang Xiaorong picked up the microphone and looked at the audience.

A heartbeat-like sound was heard at the scene, causing everyone to concentrate.

This time, Bai Youlou would not look at her from below, she had to walk her own way.

On "Singer", a stage that can be said to be full of professionalism, as long as she can stand firm, she will officially gain a firm foothold in the music world!

The next second, the clear and melodious piano sound rang out, simple and clear, like a whisper in the ear, and then the strings intervened, as if the emotions were suddenly aroused.

"You are the long road"

"Lamp in the foggy mountains"

"I am a child, walking in your eyes"

"You are the bright moon and the fresh breeze"

"I am the dream you care for"

"Whether we meet or not, I will embrace you for the rest of my life"

"."

The ethereal singing voice tells the story slowly and the emotions are gradually accumulated, just like telling a story. There is a special sense of intimate narration and power, which is full of appeal.

In addition to the audience, there were many professionals at the scene.

Melody, lyrics, arrangement, singing. Pick any one of them and you can give a few professional comments.

The tune is melodious and soothing, the emotion is rich, the melody is beautiful and catchy, and it has a strong memorable point. The soundtrack is very grand, and the gorgeous string arrangement is ups and downs, adding full and distinct layers to the song.
However, what is the most catchy part of this song?
It’s the lyrics, it’s the idea!
"I hope it will not be in vain, I hope to move forward courageously"

"Every day in this prosperous era"

"The mountains and rivers are safe, and fireworks are normal"

"But you get the view you wish for"

"."

Even a person with the slowest reactions would feel the hairs on his body stand up when Zhang Xiaorong sang this part.

The singer, who was originally laughing and commenting, became speechless for a second, with a dull expression as he looked at the lyrics scrolling on the screen.

The audience at the scene began to be cautious, not daring to breathe loudly, and even sat up straighter subconsciously.

The lyrics express a vast and lofty existence that encompasses everything. That existence is not a thing of this world, but it is related to the source of every inch of human joy.

Zhang Xiaorong's three-part singing seems to be really "interpreting" this song.

The first paragraph has clear pronunciation and a clear voice, as if he is reading a poem or appreciating a painting.

The second paragraph, starting from the chorus, from the appearance of the two words "human world" in the lyrics, the song truly falls into the human world, because the emotions are there.

The third paragraph, the climax, keeps rising the key, but Zhang Xiaorong's high notes always maintain a three-point suppression.

It seems that he doesn't want to steal the show.

"Meet you, and your life will be clear"

"As young as your face"

The last two lines of the a cappella song contained all the emotions, and seemed to have brought the whole song to its final sublimation.

The whole song is about the grand aspirations of the great age, which finally turns into a bird flying out, graceful and agile, bringing an immediate orgasm to your brain.

I felt my nose getting hot and my eyes getting warm.
It was inexplicable, as if it made people cry all of a sudden.

It seemed as if only the final faint ending of piano and strings was left on the scene, perfectly capturing all the emotions.

After the song ended, Zhang Xiaorong, who was holding the microphone, stood there in a daze for several seconds, as if trying to calm down.

He then bowed to express his gratitude to all the audience.

The next second, thunderous applause and cheers broke out.

Many people didn't even wipe the tears from their faces, but just kept clapping.

Many times, when I see a singer on a TV show making the audience cry, I always feel it is so fake.

I feel that they are all "actors" invited by the program team.

Maybe this is the case, but at certain moments, a song that is emotionally resonant can really achieve this effect.

And at this moment, the girl who accomplished all this stood in the center of the stage, with tears in her watery eyes.

This scene will be something many people will never forget in their lifetime.

Backstage.

numb.

People are numb.

Except for Zhang Xiaorong's singer agent He Shanshan who was wiping away tears and "going crazy" to cheer for Zhang Xiaorong, the other six singers and their agents, after expressing their feelings or being immersed in their emotions, almost fell into silence at the same time.

How is this played?
The “King of Singers” for this episode has already appeared, so are the rest all competing for second place?
Of course, the one who suffered the most was the second singer to perform.

I originally thought that my performance order was pretty good, following the newcomers. After all, newcomers lack various experiences, and their stage performances are probably not as good as those of the veterans.

Waiting for Zhang Xiaorong to make some suggestions.

Now, the cards haven’t even been played yet, and someone has already played “Spring”.

In fact, although Zhang Xiaorong’s singing ability is very good, it is not strong enough to make so many veteran singers afraid of her.

It can be said that it was an excellent stage performance, and the interpretation of the song was quite accurate, truly top-notch.

But the point is, this song is terrifying!

If we were to point that point, we couldn't ask the singer behind us to sing a popular song instead, right?

The big sister's performance remains stable and direct.

"What's there to compete for? I'm just competing for second place! This is too tough! The production team didn't tell me it would be so difficult when they invited me to come. Who wrote this song?"

The singer's agent next to her was a little scared of this sister, whose mouth really spoke faster than her brain, but they had to give her an answer.

"All of Zhang Xiaorong's songs were written by Mr. Bai Youlou."

"Bai Youlou, what a familiar name."

焯？
You don’t even know Bai Youlou?
The program team said that this sentence really had to be cut out, otherwise it would easily be attacked by Bai Youlou’s fans.

You really can't afford to offend this guy, so you can just protect the big sister.

But the big sister said, "She's been appearing at every major party in the past two years. No, I'm going to go visit her first. This girl is interesting!"

Hey? Are you really going?
The big sister said that she was the last one to appear, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaorong put on a coat and relaxed enough to enjoy other people's performances. She looked at the big sister who came to visit with some confusion.

The other party's arrival really made He Shanshan nervous, after all, he was a senior in the circle.

But Zhang Xiaorong has unique "social" skills.

Almost no one dislikes her along the way. Even her haters usually end up hating her in the black and white forum.

Just like that, we somehow formed a lounge for two and started chatting.

The big sister also successfully obtained some information from Zhang Xiaorong.
"Bai Youlou is your boss, huh? And a singer bought your boss's song? Who is it?"

This question made Zhang Xiaorong not know how to answer. It seemed like she was trying to sow discord if she just said the name.

"You can find it on the Internet. Just search it and you will know."

"These guys have no moral principles! They bully an old lady like me. Will they sing this time?"

"I don't think I saw the title of the song. It should be saved for later. Maybe it won't be sung on this stage."

Not singing on this stage?

How is that possible?
He can both promote songs and "beat people", the only problem is whether he has practiced well.

After all, the songs that Bai Youlou sold are all very difficult. If you practice them well, they will be a killer. If you don’t practice them well, it will be embarrassing.

What does it feel like to chat with the big sister?

Zhang Xiaorong felt like she was chatting with a child. Although it might seem a bit disrespectful to say this, the sense of déjà vu was indeed very strong.

You dare to say anything~
During this period, other singers came on stage one after another, and the big sister gave comments one by one, which were so sharp that Zhang Xiaorong blinked countless times.

Can this also be said?

At the end of the recording, it was finally the big sister's turn, and Zhang Xiaorong felt inexplicably relieved.

But even at this time, she still had to find another topic.

"Hey, there will be a show where you can compete with foreign singers in a while. Do you want to go?"

Zhang Xiaorong spread her hands and said, "I don't know."

"There are more and more ideas for making programs now. They are not satisfied with just motivating domestic singers like us, but also want us to compete with foreign singers."

Foreign singer?

Zhang Xiaorong didn’t take it too seriously at first, but suddenly she remembered that Bai Youlou seemed to have written foreign songs!
The ending song of his movie "Whiplash" is an English song.

Of course, this doesn’t seem to be too important.

As for the program with foreign singers, Zhang Xiaorong didn’t receive an invitation, so it had nothing to do with her. She could just listen for fun.

Besides, this kind of show is usually won by domestic singers~
Look, the big sister who got on the stage showed her impressive strength. She is worthy of being such a gossiper and still able to stay in the music industry for so many years.

To see how capable a person is, just look at how annoying she is. The more annoying she is, the more she jumps around. She must be quite capable.

After all the singers finished singing, everyone went to a small dark room for a round of interviews.

Mainly asking them about their predictions for the rankings and the like.

When Zhang Xiaorong was asked this question, she was a little confused, but she finally said boldly: "I think it's possible to be first."

"Are you so confident?"

"Because he wrote my song!"

Her tone was firm and trusting.

After the interview, everyone gathered in the same large lounge.

Here, the results of the public jury's vote will be revealed.

Ruthlessly ranking the seven singers.

The atmosphere in the lounge was quite good at this time, and Zhang Xiaorong was even quite popular.

On the one hand, she has proved her ability and is indeed qualified to stand on such a stage.

On the other hand, everyone is not stupid. Even if they are afraid of her, they will not show it at this time.

The program director came on the stage at this time and started to frantically create program effects to whet everyone's appetite.

Instead of announcing them in order, the third and fourth place winners were announced first.
Just talk slowly from the middle to both sides.

The big sister only got third place this time, and her face looked a little depressed, but she glanced at Zhang Xiaorong and seemed to comfort herself.

The second place winner was the singer who bought Bai Youlou's song "Stars", also a senior singer named Ming Jichang.

The big sister also has to give people some face. Thinking this way, it seems acceptable.

In the end, only the first and seventh rankings were left to be announced.

Almost everyone's eyes turned to the unlucky guy.

Yu Zhan scratched his head. Damn, this is a bit embarrassing!
He doesn't think that he has any hope of coming first even though it hasn't been announced yet.

This clearly shows that Zhang Xiaorong is number one.
The director seemed to be aware of the current situation and did not torture Yu Zhan too much. He announced the winner of this episode's "King of Singers" in a very relaxed tone.

"Congratulations, Zhang Xiaorong!"

"Wow~"

"Great!"

“Awesome!”

"."

Zhang Xiaorong bent down to thank all the blessings, whether sincere or helpless. The recording of this episode ends here and it is finally over!

Almost as soon as the director made the announcement, Zhang Xiaorong looked at her assistant Lele anxiously.

He made a cell phone gesture to her.

She wanted to share this news with Bai Youlou as soon as possible.

Get your phone and make a call.

Almost a perfect connection.

However, before Zhang Xiaorong could speak, a smiling voice came from the other end of the phone, "Look back."
