Chapter 411 The champion of the "Star of Tomorrow" finals is—
Chapter 411 The champion of the "Star of Tomorrow" finals is—
"Gardenias bloom and bloom,
Gardenias are blooming
like crystal waves
bloom in my heart
......"
Gu Miaomiao, who was the first to come on stage, sang the song "Gardenia Blossoms" released by the famous host He Dan in early July this year.
To be honest, the "Star of Tomorrow" competition is comparable to this. Many classic songs have been sung, and there are even cases where the songs sung by many contestants collide with each other.
Penguin Blog has some netizens who edit and edit versions of the same song sung by different singers for comparison.
It can be said that hitting songs is not terrible, whoever sings poorly is embarrassed.
On the stage of the finals, although there is no rule that the contestants must sing songs that have not appeared before, the risk of repeating songs is not small, and I am afraid that it will lower the impression points of many audiences.
So to be on the safe side, it is safest to sing songs that have never been sung before "Rising Star".
So under the law of introversion, even this year's new song was not let go, Gu Miaomiao took aim at this small and refreshing song "Gardenia Blossoms".
On the one hand, this song is quite popular now, and it can also borrow a wave of popularity. On the other hand, this song is more suitable for her style. . .
On the stage of the finals, winning by surprise may be one way, but it is the safest way to give full play to one's own advantages as much as possible.
Gu Miaomiao is famous for her beauty in "Rising Star" and her popularity is hot, but it doesn't mean she is weak.
On the contrary, she and Yao Beina were the only players in the top four in the country who were from serious disciplines.
Yao Beina just graduated from the China Conservatory of Music, while Gu Miaomiao is from the Central Conservatory of Music.
Although the difference is only one letter, the China Conservatory of Music ranks among the top three music colleges in China, and the Central Conservatory of Music is firmly number one.
Of course, that being said, the two schools are actually very good, but there are some differences, and the major focuses are slightly different, and the first place in Yangyin may not be accepted by everyone.
But no matter what, Gu Miaomiao, as a student of Central Music, has an orthodox professional background. After joining Fanxing for two years, she has gone through various training specializations. "I Love to Remember Lyrics" has allowed her to accumulate a wealth of stage experience.
So whoever thinks that Gu Miaomiao can only show her face is a pure fool. When this girl is serious, her ability is not inferior to other powerful singers.
The song "Gardenia Blossoms" is fresh and soft, very touching. Cao Xuan personally thinks it is even more flavorful and artistic than the original song by Mr. He.
Wang Fei and Liu Tianwang's evaluations were also quite high, and Gu Miaomiao's face was flushed with praise. Her idol is Wang Fei. Singing in front of her idol today is a dream come true in a sense.
Finally, Legend of Phoenix came on the stage, and they chose an "old song" that had been sung twice - "The Wind Rises".
As the title song of Cao Xuan's album "Bright Stars", "The Wind Rises" is definitely Cao Xuan's masterpiece.
It is also a song that many singers and audiences like. It became popular for more than half a year in 2000, and it is still enduring. Its influence spreads all over Asia, and it has also been sung in Japanese and Korean.
The two times I mentioned before, I was talking about the stage of the National Top [-] Competition. If the scope is expanded to include the "Rising Star" audition, re-examination, and third-examination, the number of covers of this song will be double digits at least.
Now Legend of the Phoenix has come up with a cover of this old song. To be honest, the risk is not small.
However, Legend of Phoenix's journey along the way, although its own popularity is not low, it relies more on its own strength.
In particular, what he is good at is performing on the spot, showing amazing performances time and time again, and succeeding in promotion time and time again.
This time it was still the same. When the prelude to "The Wind Rises" sounded, what was more surprising was that the lead singer of Phoenix Legend became Zeng Yi, and Ling Hua gave him the harmony.
This move caught many viewers who are familiar with the legend of Phoenix by surprise.
"Stop and go along the way
Following the traces of juvenile drifting
Before stepping out of the station
a little hesitant
......"
Under Ling Hua's soft harmony, Zeng Yi sang the verse in a deep voice.
Different from the clear and youthful feeling of the original Cao Xuan, Zeng Yi's "The Wind Rises" sings with a bit of vicissitudes of life. It sounds like a different kind of feeling, like a wanderer who has experienced the past and is exhausted.
When it came to the climax of the chorus, Linghua, who had always been in harmony, suddenly joined in. Zeng Yi, who was originally the lead singer, returned to harmony and handed over the C position to Linghua.
And Ling Hua is not stage fright, her high-spirited singing voice turns the vicissitudes of life that were easy to foreshadow before into a confident and open-mindedness that has been ravaged by the years but is still upward.
"I was unable to extricate myself from the bigness of the world
Don't be addicted to it
I don't know the truth, I don't struggle, I don't know the joke
I once poured my youth into it
Once the fingertips popped up the midsummer
Let your heart move, let it go
…”
And when it came to the second stanza, it was the same at first, Zeng Yi sang the main song and Linghua harmonized, but when it came to the chorus stage, Zeng Yi did not give up the C position this time, but sang a duet with Linghua.
The vicissitudes of life's open-minded singing complemented Ling Hua's domineering and high-spirited singing, and the house was full of applause in an instant.
After the song was sung, several judges including Liu Huan and Xiao Zhou praised Phoenix Legend's adaptation of this song, which is full of personal characteristics.
When it was Cao Xuan's turn to comment, he looked at Zeng Yi whose forehead was already dripping with sweat, and smiled.
"Actually, I'm not surprised by the performance of the two of you. In my heart, you are definitely champion-level singers. What touched me more today is that Zeng Yi became the protagonist of the two of you.
I have seen many comments on the Internet, either malicious or ridiculed, saying that Zeng Yi is just a make-up and Linghua is the core of Phoenix Legend.
But in my opinion, the two of you are the most important, and your combination is Phoenix Legend. Zeng Yi's contribution to Phoenix Legend is not inferior to Linghua.
Today, please forget about [the man in Phoenix Legend] or [Oyege] and other nicknames for the time being, and remember his name, Phoenix Legend—Zeng Yi. "
"Come on, Zeng Yi! Come on, Phoenix Legend!"
"Zeng Yi is amazing!"
"Zeng Yi, great job!"
The audience at the scene called Zeng Yi's name under Cao Xuan's call, Zeng Yi bowed with red eyes, Ling Hua couldn't hide her tears, wiped the corners of her eyes, and embraced Zeng Yi.
Regardless of the overwhelming popularity of Legend of Phoenix in later generations, many people spoke highly of Zeng Yi, basically making jokes.
Even Zeng Yi himself laughed at himself, "What does Getu have to do with me? I only have a few words", and played the role of "suffering bag" + "eating soft food".
But in fact, at the beginning of Legend of Phoenix, since most of the lead singers were Ling Hua, many audience members didn't know much about music, and didn't understand Zeng Yi's role in it, so they thought he was a bastard who made up the numbers.
The voice was so ugly and vicious that only the person involved could understand that the disbandment of Legend of Phoenix, which was repeatedly rumored in later generations, was actually driven by Zeng Yi.
While "Star of Tomorrow" gave Phoenix Legend great exposure, it actually brought a lot of negative influences, Zeng Yi was under a lot of pressure.
Phoenix Legend's success in promotion is all thanks to Ling Hua, and if there is a loss, it will be Zeng Yi's fault...
All these things, in fact, this time "The Wind Rises" made Zeng Yi the lead singer. On the one hand, it was due to the style of the adaptation, and on the other hand, it more or less meant to justify his name.
The approval of the boss Cao Xuan and the support and encouragement of the audience also made this Hunan man unable to hold back his inner emotions and burst into tears on the stage.
And Cao Xuan also clicked to the end, indicating that the host arranged for the audience to vote.
In fact, he was trying to solicit votes for Legend of Phoenix just now, and it was actually a bit unfair to Gu Miaomiao. If he hadn't really appreciated Zeng Yi, he wouldn't have done so.
In the first round, 500 spectators scored on the spot. Each spectator scored from 1 to 5 points.
Don't underestimate the 100 points added. According to the rules, these 100 points are counted in the comprehensive calculation of this round. 500 points are the full score, and 100 points are very valuable.
If the gap between the two sides is not large, this 100 points is likely to play a decisive role.
The 1-minute audience scoring time, the atmosphere of the scene was tense and depressing, and even the audience watching in front of the TV were worried.
Fanxing Film and Television City, dormitory canteen
Yan Ni couldn't help but grabbed Sha Yi's shoulders in front of her, secretly exerting force with her fingers, grinning Sha Yi's teeth in pain.
"Well, well, take it easy."
"Ah, I dare not watch, Miaomiao won, you tell me."
Yan Ni ignored Sha Yi, looking at the results that were about to be announced, she couldn't stand the excitement, and she had an ostrich mentality, and plunged into Da Mi Mi's arms, knocking out ripples on the small and scaled mountain.
However, although the eyes saw the TV, the voice of the host announcing the result reached the ears.
"Gu Miaomiao got 441 votes and Phoenix Legend got 463 votes. Congratulations to Phoenix Legend for winning this round."
"Alas."
Those who support Legend of Phoenix in the canteen smiled and cheered, while those who liked Gu Miaomiao sighed and looked gloomy, and staged scenes of human sorrow and joy.
Of course, there are more neutral audiences, and the emotions are not so substituted, mainly to analyze the battle situation.
"This Gu Miaomiao is dangerous. Legend of Phoenix won the first round. The judges' comments just now were obviously biased towards Legend of Phoenix. Gu Miaomiao's chance of winning the next round is not high."
"That's right, although the last round of popularity votes is the most important, but if you lose the first two rounds, Gu Miaomiao basically only has the possibility of advancing theoretically."
"This is not necessarily true. In the final calculation, the proportion of popularity votes is the highest, accounting for 40%. If Gu Miaomiao greatly surpasses Phoenix Legend in the last round of popularity votes, there is still a chance to come back."
"The popularity of Phoenix Legend is not a vegetarian, so it is so easy to be crushed."
"Don't forget, Gu Miaomiao got 200 million votes in the semi-finals. Others can't do it, but she doesn't have to."
"It doesn't matter how many votes, if I were Gu Miaomiao, I would try my best to get it in the next round, otherwise I would be passive."
"Legend of the Phoenix will not let her get what she wants, and she will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue her."
"..."
A group of people were arguing, and it was Zhang Jie and Yao Beina's turn to compete in their first round.
In this way, the two groups alternately compete, and the emotions are progressive, which is more conducive to viewing, and it can also give the players a certain amount of time to adjust their status, and there are many explosive points.
Compared with the previous round, Zhang Jie and Yao Beina are the real high-energy competition, there is no nonsense at all, and they directly output with all their strength.
Zhang Jie, nicknamed Xiao Cao Xuan, still chose Cao Xuan's song this time, which is the Divine Comedy "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" for the Spring Festival Gala.
And Yao Beina also chose a song from the judges, Wang Fei's "Red Bean".
Singing a cover song in front of the original singer also requires courage, but both of them are capable, and they performed steadily and were very brilliant.
As the host of the seven judges, Cao Xuan, who continued to pay attention to the show, took the initiative to introduce it to the other judges.
"This Zhang Jie is very explosive, and she can accurately grasp the emotions of the songs. Yao Beina is stable enough. I have listened to her performances for about 5 to 7 performances. Basically, there is nothing wrong with her, and her ability to convey emotions is first-rate.
I personally think that the level of the two of them is no less than that of professional singers, and even many professional singers are not as strong as the two of them. "
"Listen to you, have you been following our show and the two of them?"
The host Hua Shao asked a question, and Cao Xuan nodded: "Generally, whenever I have time, I will watch the live broadcast of our show, and sometimes I will watch the replay of the highlights, and these two appeared in my line of sight very early.
Especially Zhang Jie, little Cao Xuan, in fact, I recommended him to participate in the competition at the beginning. "
"There is still this origin."
Everyone was surprised at the scene, and Zhang Jie nodded a little embarrassedly, telling the "secret" that has been hidden in his heart.
"Last year in Rongcheng, Mr. Cao went to Rongda University to promote a movie. I went to ask for an autograph and said that I love singing, and then he encouraged me to sign up. Unexpectedly, Mr. Cao still remembered me."
"Of course I can't forget it. I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise."
Cao Xuan half-truthfully stated that he certainly remembered Zhang Jie, the future star, but he didn't expect that the opponent really came and went all the way to the finals.
Not to mention that Zhang Jie was influenced by him to become [Little Cao Xuan]. Seeing this future front-line singer worship him so much, he looks like a crazy little fan.
I have to say that this feeling is quite refreshing, which is why Cao Xuan looks at Zhang Jie differently.
Of course, Cao Xuan also attaches great importance to Yao Beina, and specially introduced her background in the Youth Song Competition and her resume of participating in many national performances.
In his own words: "This is the seedling of a future singer, and he has to sing solo at the Spring Festival Gala."
To be honest, although the previous judges knew about "Rising Star", they still "underestimated" the contestants and regarded them as rookies.
But after this round of competition, the performance of the 4 groups of contestants was better than the other, which more or less stunned the judges.
Xiao Zhou even said self-effacingly that in terms of singing skills, he is no longer particularly qualified to comment. Cheng Long's comment was an eye-opener, and Liu Huanlian said that he is a formidable young man.
Liu Tianwang's evaluation is the most exaggerated: "20 years ago you debuted in Xiangjiang, there is no Andy Lau of the Four Heavenly Kings."
Naturally, the judges' words were somewhat modest and exaggerated. They deliberately praised the contestants, but they couldn't take it seriously, but it could be seen that they really recognized the contestants, otherwise they wouldn't have given so many compliments.
Face is earned by strength, and the judges can't even praise the contestants if their performance is really broken...
In the end, the audience on both sides scored very tightly. In the end, Zhang Jie narrowly beat Yao Beina with a three-point advantage.
Considering the strength of both sides, Yao Beina has a good chance to comeback in the second round.
Compared with the last group of Phoenix Legends who had an absolute promotion advantage, there is no doubt that the competition between Zhang Jie and Yao Beina is more suspenseful and more worrying for the audience.
.........
Soon, the second round of competition began. In this round, seven judges scored, and each judge scored 100 points, decreasing by 5 points. That is to say, the scores were all 80 or 85.
The winner will finally get 150 extra points for this round. Considering the total score is 700, it is not much different from the previous round of 100 extra points.
It was still Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao who competed first, but this time Phoenix Legend took the lead and played Tengger's "Paradise".
This kind of prairie song is definitely an advantage for Linghua, especially the Mongolian Humai, which is vast, pure and long, and because it is a female voice, it has a special taste
Zeng Yi compiled a rap and mixed it with many fashionable and novel elements compared to the original version.
As for Gu Miaomiao, she sang "Later" by Liu Milk Tea. This time she was cornered, and she tried her best to perform.
A song was sad and sentimental, with a bit of farewell to the memories of the past. Gu Miaomiao sang very emotionally. In the second half, there were tears in the eyes, and the audience sang along, turning the final into a small concert .
But it is also true, which proves that Gu Miaomiao's singing is very resonant and very contagious.
The live broadcast also made this picture true and correct to thousands of households, giving the audience a deeper impression of the performance.
After Gu Miaomiao finished singing, the judges began to score the two groups of contestants on the spot.
Perhaps out of real feelings, but also for the effect of the show, several judges began to help "canvass" for their favorite performance while commenting.
"I think Miaomiao's performance is better. I saw that many audiences behind me were moved and cried. The best song is to enter people's hearts."
Ren Xianqi unequivocally supported Gu Miaomiao and got Liu Tianwang's consent, but Xiao Zhou had a different opinion with them.
"I like Legend of the Phoenix better. That Humai is really cool, and the rap, I think Zeng Yi wrote the introduction, it's not bad, I have time to discuss it."
"I also think Linghua's "Paradise" is even better, it is music that can touch the soul."
Liu Huan also voted for Phoenix Legend, and Wang Fei personally admired Gu Miaomiao more, so it was hard not to rule out that Gu Miaomiao was her fan.
As for Brother Cheng Long, he was a little swaying, but in the end he was more inclined to Phoenix Legend. He prefers some atmospheric songs.
Three votes VS three votes
In the end, everyone looked at Cao Xuan, waiting for his final decision.
But who is Mr. Cao, who has been with the East and West Palaces for so long, and his bowl-handling skills have become proficient, so he smiled and wrote down his score directly.
"I like both programs, one is 95 points, and the other is also 95 points."
"Ah~"
A few judges expressed contempt, but they quickly became popular. Those who liked voted for a full score of 100 points, and those who didn't like voted for 80 points.
So the six judges stood in a balanced team, and Cao Xuan served the bowl by himself. In the end, the two groups of contestants had the same number of votes and a tie.
According to the rules, in the case of a tie, the two sides will not add points, and the next round will be postponed.
Fanxing Film and Television City, dormitory canteen
Everyone in the crew of "Wulin Biography" looked at each other, and the youngest Wang Shasha couldn't help complaining.
"Can you still play like this? It's too boring."
As soon as he said a word, he was immediately recognized by other people, and everyone agreed with him.
"Aren't these judges too timid to offend anyone?"
"It's not entirely because I don't dare to offend people. The performances of these two programs are indeed evenly divided. It's hard for me to choose."
"Actually, it's mainly because of Cao Xuan. The other judges seem to have discussed it. It's up to Cao Xuan, the master, to decide. After all, they are all stars and entertainers. Whoever advances is not a matter of his words. In the end, he himself was also a thief. The bowl of water is level."
"Don't want to do it anymore? Who is the thief? It's our boss."
"Actually, it's difficult for him too. Don't look at him as the boss, he deserves to be scolded. Gu Miaomiao's fans are crazy."
"What do you mean? Who are you talking about? What happened to our water baby?"
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel. See what this means. Although Gu Miaomiao didn't win this round, he didn't let Phoenix Legend win. There is still a chance."
"That's right, it's a draw. Phoenix Legend has a big advantage in the first round, but the popularity of Gu Miaomiao is its strength. It's really hard to say who will win."
"Why do I feel that the program deliberately did this to make us feel that Gu Miaomiao still has hope, and deliberately cheated us of tickets?"
"Don't talk about it, if there is such a possibility, these profiteers will pay in different ways."
"Don't talk about profiteers or anything, just say whether you voted or not."
"There is no shady scene in this show, I will definitely vote..."
There are definitely a lot of complaints like this, and they are not very dissatisfied. Everyone also admits that these two programs did perform well, and it is difficult to accurately determine the winner.
The key point is that everyone is looking forward to a high or low result. Supporters from all sides are ready to enter the arena to quarrel, but in the end there is a draw, and everyone is stunned. Why don't they just curse.
It is estimated that they also felt the resentment of everyone, and the judges of the next round restrained a lot.
Just in time for Yao Beina's performance to be more prominent, five of the judges unanimously gave her full marks, allowing her to win this round.
So far, she and Zhang Jie have won a round alone, and they still maintain the same level. It all depends on the last round of popularity competition.
The first ones to start were Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao. When the two had just entered the stage, the program team opened the off-site voting channel.
At this moment, to be honest, whether the show is good or bad has become a foil, and the popularity competition is the key point.
In the cafeteria, Yan Ni took out her mobile phone without saying a word, looked at the TV number and began to vote for Gu Miaomiao, not forgetting to help canvass.
"If you have votes, help me out. Count the votes for Gu Miaomiao. I'll treat everyone to dinner later."
Those who support Gu Miaomiao will naturally have audiences who like Legend of Phoenix: "Everyone vote for Legend of Phoenix and support our contestants in the capital competition area."
"What's wrong with the capital competition area? I'm not from the capital either. I'm still Tou Miaomiao. She's pretty and has a good song."
"What's so great about relying on face to eat, please support the capable faction if you have connotations."
Pulling and pulling votes, the cafeteria has also become a tripartite group, neutral passersby eat melons, and the fans of the other two songs do not forget to mock each other while canvassing votes.
Fortunately, they are all colleagues from the same crew, so there will be no more conflicts. If strangers meet outside, it might be just greetings + fighting.
Soon, the two groups of contestants finished singing their own songs respectively. After the judges commented, they gave the last 3 minutes to canvass votes, and the audience and fans also fell into "crazy".
"Shusha, help me cast a few votes, and I'll call Sister Fei to make up for you later."
"Sister, I am a minor and cannot vote."
"...Forget it, you can borrow the phone from my sister, my mobile phone is out of charge, I'll call home."
"Hey, mom watching TV, yes, vote, what? You voted for Phoenix Legend, why?"
After the fans spent all their phone bills, they began to persuade the people next to them to vote. Even the uninterested viewers voted a few votes voluntarily or involuntarily under the begging of their friends.
When 3 minutes was up, the two scrolling numbers on the big screen stopped.
Phoenix Legend: 233 million+ tickets
Gu Miaomiao: 312 million+ sheets
The latter surpassed the former by nearly 80 votes, winning a landslide victory, and got an extra 10% bonus points, which means Gu Miaomiao added 31.2+ votes.
Based on the comprehensive calculation of the three rounds, the first two rounds each accounted for 30%, and the last round of popular votes accounted for 40%.
The two sides were tied in the second round, Phoenix Legend won the first round, Gu Miaomiao won by a large margin in the third round, plus the proportion of the last round...
Two beams of lights flickered among the three of them, and finally fixed on Gu Miaomiao.
Gu Miaomiao advanced to compete for the championship!
Legend of the Phoenix, regrettably lost.
All the audience who supported Gu Miaomiao fell into a state of cheering in an instant. They probably went to buy firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate, but they couldn't help but set them off casually.
On the stage, although Phoenix Legend couldn't hide his frustration after the failure, he didn't lose his composure.
Although the ambition is to be the champion, after all, the top four compete for a throne, and no one is good at it, so they have already prepared in their hearts.
What's more, Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao have worked together in the "I Love Lyrics" program group for two years, and they have a good personal relationship. During the competition, they were tit-for-tat, and off the field they were still good friends.
Ling Hua and Zeng Yi adjusted their mentality, stepped forward to hug and congratulate, and cheered up their friends.
"Miaomiao, come on and win the championship, let those newcomers know how powerful we are."
"Thank you Sister Hua, Brother Yi, I will work hard."
Since then, Legend of Phoenix has finished work, and can be a quiet audience, while Gu Miaomiao goes backstage to hold her breath, waiting for the final battle in the near future.
There was a special TV broadcast in the background, but Gu Miaomiao didn't have the mood and courage to watch it, so she sat on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.
It wasn't until I heard a new round of movement that I couldn't help but open my eyes, open the door and ask the staff.
"Who's winning?"
"Zhang Jie, the victory was too thrilling. In the last round, the votes were only less than 2 votes. There is one minute left. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose."
Gu Miaomiao didn't listen to the last words, knowing who the final opponent was, she completely blocked other voices, got up and went to the waiting area.
But at this moment, during the commercial time, Zhang Jie, who had just won the victory, also came to the waiting area. The two looked at each other, and there were faint sparks flying in the air.
Yao Beina, who also resigned from the stage, was talking to Zhang Jie. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly hid aside, envious and eating melons at the same time.
The depressed mood of losing just now has also faded a lot. She even wondered if she should get a camera to take a picture of this scene and post it on the blog. At least tens of thousands of followers can be gained...
But Zhang Jie and the two didn't give him this chance. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Zhang Jie took the initiative to smile and speak.
"come on."
"You too!"
Gu Miaomiao also returned a smile, as if it wasn't the two of them who set off the sparks just now.
Yao Beina was amazed at the side, is this the battle state that comes with the promotion?
If he had been promoted just now, wouldn't he and Gu Miaomiao smile and encourage each other while setting off sparks?
Not much to say, after a while, the 10-minute commercial ended, and the highlight of tonight's "Star of Tomorrow" finally came.
Who will be the champion of the first season of "Tomorrow's Star" will depend on the performance in the next half an hour...
The format of the final competition is still the same as before. It is divided into three rounds, followed by the comprehensive calculation of the scores of the audience, judges and off-site popularity.
The two drew lots, and Gu Miaomiao got the upper hand, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the first move is the first, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to be the second striker.
Gu Miaomiao didn't talk nonsense, and took out the song "Little Lucky" written by Cao Xuan to Sun Yanzi, which was clean, clear and touching.
When it came to the finals, Gu Miaomiao's strategy was to seek stability rather than danger. All the songs were themes she was best at, and her singing method was more orthodox.
Although there are very few surprises in this way, as long as she plays steadily and her own strength and popularity are here, the score is definitely not low.
Gu Miaomiao knew that her advantage was her popularity. If she could win the first two rounds, it would be best to win. If she couldn't win, she would try to get as many points as possible, so as not to be pulled too far away, and rely on the final third round to comeback.
What Gu Miaomiao knew, Zhang Jie also understood.
Just now, he and Yao Beina both had around 250 million votes, which was not far behind Gu Miaomiao's 312 million votes, which made him realize that it would be difficult for him to win against Gu Miaomiao in the third round.
Therefore, the best way is to score as many points as possible in the first two rounds, and gain enough advantages to make up for the disadvantages in the third round.
And Gu Miaomiao's own strength is not low, unless he makes a major mistake, Zhang Jie doesn't think he will gain an overwhelming advantage over him.
Unless... a surprise win!
But most of the time, strange tricks also mean risks. Only a few of them win by using them, and most of them are smart but are overturned by mistake.
But there is no way, Gu Miaomiao's popularity advantage is too great, if he plays according to the routine, it is tantamount to falling into the opponent's rhythm, being slowly pulled into the quagmire, and his chance of winning is not high.
It's better to put all your eggs in one basket and gamble. Losing is nothing more than the worst outcome, and winning is blood money.
Then there was a scene that surprised everyone.
Xiao Cao Xuan, who has been singing Cao Xuan's songs since the audition, unexpectedly came up with an original song in the final, which was still a hip-hop song.
But soon, many smart people realized that the rules for originality points also apply in the finals.
And since it was the final, considering the disadvantages of the original song, the principle of extra points was increased. For example, in the first round, the extra points were 80 points, almost catching up with the victory in this round.
But under favorable conditions, it is self-evident which one is easier to impress the audience than a brand new original song or a classic old song.
This is also the reason why several other contestants are indifferent even knowing that originality will add points.
Of course, the fact that several other players are not completely good at originality is also an important reason.
As I said before, "Rising Star" has very high requirements for originality. A song must be written or composed by a contestant or 50% of the entire song, and must pass the review of the program group before this score will be added.
Zhang Jie's song "Blur" was able to be sung in the finals, it must have passed the review of the program group, and the host also introduced afterwards that he is indeed the song's lyricist.
I don't know how many people were moved by this scene, this kid Zhang Jie can really hide.
In the previous national top [-] competition stage, although Zhang Jie performed relatively strongly, he was not without danger at all, and even had the risk of being eliminated several times.
Let's not talk about it, let's just talk about the confrontation between him and Yao Beina just now, the gap between the two sides is very small, and he may be eliminated if he is not careful.
Under such circumstances, this guy held back his trump card and waited until the last moment before declaring himself a semi-original singer.
To be honest, when Zhang Jie came on stage to sing his original song, Yao Beina and Phoenix Legend who were eating melons in the audience, and Gu Miaomiao who had just returned to the waiting area, all yelled in unison, shocked by Zhang Jie's coquettish manipulation.
They are all players, and they understand the pressure in the arena better. To be honest, everyone's tricks were basically squeezed out in the end.
I thought they were all going into battle shirtless, but Zhang Jie secretly hid a submachine gun, who the hell could bear it...
After singing the song, several judges also looked at each other in blank dismay, Cao Xuan couldn't help asking.
"Whether the song is good or not is put aside for now, I'm just curious. How do you resist not using original songs?"
Zhang Jie scratched his head, and said honestly: "Actually, I can't talk about tolerance. The main reason is that I only had two original songs, and I wanted to save some, but I didn't expect to save them until the finals. If you don't use them, it will be too late, so Just sang."
"Okay, I'm a person who lives a life."
Cao Xuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and then commented on Zhang Jie's song: "The lyrics are not bad, the music is average, I can find someone to redo the arrangement later, and then put it directly on the new album."
"Thank you, teacher."
As a bigwig in the original music industry, Cao Xuan's authority is beyond doubt. Zhang Jie couldn't help but smile when he made a good comment, saying that he could produce an album.
At this time, Xiao Zhou, another original tycoon, also chatted about Zhang Jie's song. He is good at composing and arranging music, and he pointed out the weakness of this song more intuitively.
In the end, he even said: "I still like this song quite a bit. If you are interested, you can leave a contact information later, and I can give you some reference opinions."
"Thank you Jay Lun."
This call Jie Lun made Xiao Zhou extremely comfortable, and I don't know if he was infected by Cao Xuan. Now he especially likes to be called "Brother" by some juniors.
The popular explanation is: Brother Xuan's happiness, I finally feel it...
Although the song "Blur" is not very good, being able to sing an original song on this stage is a kind of courage in itself, and you will get some care points more or less.
At the same time, because Zhang Jie's strange trick really shocked many people, to a certain extent he earned a lot of points, plus 80 points for originality.
In the end, with 551 votes, he beat Gu Miaomiao's 463 votes, and won 100 additional votes for the first round of victory, leading by a large margin.
In the second round of the competition, Zhang Jie once again presented the original song "Love of the Big Dipper", which is of better quality than the previous song "Blur".
According to Cao Xuan's evaluation: it is considered a relatively good pop song, and it can even serve as the title song of the album.
Xiao Zhou and Liu Huan also spoke highly of it, and several other judges also gave good comments. Zhang Jie won another overwhelming victory in the second round.
At this point, the situation is clear.
Gu Miaomiao, who had the chance to win, was manipulated by Zhang Jie's two tricks, bringing her back to the evenly matched, even faintly disadvantaged situation.
According to the existing data of the first two rounds, if Gu Miaomiao wants to win Zhang Jie, he must win at least 100 million+ votes. In this way, with the 10% bonus for winning the third round, he has a chance to come back.
This difficulty is not small, no matter how popular Gu Miaomiao is, Zhang Jie is not a vegetarian.
Especially in the last round, Zhang Jie concentrated all his attention and used his strength to sing "Red Ling". Although the opera tone is not very standard, the clean and clear treble made up for everything.
On the contrary, Gu Miaomiao was a little out of order under the pressure. Although the classic old song "Ping Ju" was not bad, it was quite satisfactory, not as good as the previous few games.
Before the final result was announced, Gu Miaomiao had predicted the result, and couldn't help but blushed.
And the end result was just as she expected.
Gu Miaomiao's votes reached an unprecedented 407 million+, but Zhang Jie's votes also set a new record in personal history, reaching 313 million+. After comprehensive calculation, the final winner was——
Zhang Jie!
boom!
Not to mention how ecstatic and heartbroken the two supporters in front of the TV were.
Before the stage of "Tomorrow's Star", sparks and white smoke flashed all around the moment the championship result was announced, and streamers and sparkles floated down from the sky, falling on the smirking Zhang Jie's head, and the seven judges stood up and applauded congratulate.
After more than half a year of preparation, the audition began in April, and the National Top 4 Competition took nearly two months from June to now.
The first season of "Tomorrow's Star" is finally over, whether it is the champion, or the top four, top ten, top twenty, or even top fifty, top hundred.
Many contestants have entered a new chapter of their lives after this program...
Nearly [-] characters, it is not too much to ask for a monthly ticket
(End of this chapter)
"Gardenias bloom and bloom,
Gardenias are blooming
like crystal waves
bloom in my heart
......"
Gu Miaomiao, who was the first to come on stage, sang the song "Gardenia Blossoms" released by the famous host He Dan in early July this year.
To be honest, the "Star of Tomorrow" competition is comparable to this. Many classic songs have been sung, and there are even cases where the songs sung by many contestants collide with each other.
Penguin Blog has some netizens who edit and edit versions of the same song sung by different singers for comparison.
It can be said that hitting songs is not terrible, whoever sings poorly is embarrassed.
On the stage of the finals, although there is no rule that the contestants must sing songs that have not appeared before, the risk of repeating songs is not small, and I am afraid that it will lower the impression points of many audiences.
So to be on the safe side, it is safest to sing songs that have never been sung before "Rising Star".
So under the law of introversion, even this year's new song was not let go, Gu Miaomiao took aim at this small and refreshing song "Gardenia Blossoms".
On the one hand, this song is quite popular now, and it can also borrow a wave of popularity. On the other hand, this song is more suitable for her style. . .
On the stage of the finals, winning by surprise may be one way, but it is the safest way to give full play to one's own advantages as much as possible.
Gu Miaomiao is famous for her beauty in "Rising Star" and her popularity is hot, but it doesn't mean she is weak.
On the contrary, she and Yao Beina were the only players in the top four in the country who were from serious disciplines.
Yao Beina just graduated from the China Conservatory of Music, while Gu Miaomiao is from the Central Conservatory of Music.
Although the difference is only one letter, the China Conservatory of Music ranks among the top three music colleges in China, and the Central Conservatory of Music is firmly number one.
Of course, that being said, the two schools are actually very good, but there are some differences, and the major focuses are slightly different, and the first place in Yangyin may not be accepted by everyone.
But no matter what, Gu Miaomiao, as a student of Central Music, has an orthodox professional background. After joining Fanxing for two years, she has gone through various training specializations. "I Love to Remember Lyrics" has allowed her to accumulate a wealth of stage experience.
So whoever thinks that Gu Miaomiao can only show her face is a pure fool. When this girl is serious, her ability is not inferior to other powerful singers.
The song "Gardenia Blossoms" is fresh and soft, very touching. Cao Xuan personally thinks it is even more flavorful and artistic than the original song by Mr. He.
Wang Fei and Liu Tianwang's evaluations were also quite high, and Gu Miaomiao's face was flushed with praise. Her idol is Wang Fei. Singing in front of her idol today is a dream come true in a sense.
Finally, Legend of Phoenix came on the stage, and they chose an "old song" that had been sung twice - "The Wind Rises".
As the title song of Cao Xuan's album "Bright Stars", "The Wind Rises" is definitely Cao Xuan's masterpiece.
It is also a song that many singers and audiences like. It became popular for more than half a year in 2000, and it is still enduring. Its influence spreads all over Asia, and it has also been sung in Japanese and Korean.
The two times I mentioned before, I was talking about the stage of the National Top [-] Competition. If the scope is expanded to include the "Rising Star" audition, re-examination, and third-examination, the number of covers of this song will be double digits at least.
Now Legend of the Phoenix has come up with a cover of this old song. To be honest, the risk is not small.
However, Legend of Phoenix's journey along the way, although its own popularity is not low, it relies more on its own strength.
In particular, what he is good at is performing on the spot, showing amazing performances time and time again, and succeeding in promotion time and time again.
This time it was still the same. When the prelude to "The Wind Rises" sounded, what was more surprising was that the lead singer of Phoenix Legend became Zeng Yi, and Ling Hua gave him the harmony.
This move caught many viewers who are familiar with the legend of Phoenix by surprise.
"Stop and go along the way
Following the traces of juvenile drifting
Before stepping out of the station
a little hesitant
......"
Under Ling Hua's soft harmony, Zeng Yi sang the verse in a deep voice.
Different from the clear and youthful feeling of the original Cao Xuan, Zeng Yi's "The Wind Rises" sings with a bit of vicissitudes of life. It sounds like a different kind of feeling, like a wanderer who has experienced the past and is exhausted.
When it came to the climax of the chorus, Linghua, who had always been in harmony, suddenly joined in. Zeng Yi, who was originally the lead singer, returned to harmony and handed over the C position to Linghua.
And Ling Hua is not stage fright, her high-spirited singing voice turns the vicissitudes of life that were easy to foreshadow before into a confident and open-mindedness that has been ravaged by the years but is still upward.
"I was unable to extricate myself from the bigness of the world
Don't be addicted to it
I don't know the truth, I don't struggle, I don't know the joke
I once poured my youth into it
Once the fingertips popped up the midsummer
Let your heart move, let it go
…”
And when it came to the second stanza, it was the same at first, Zeng Yi sang the main song and Linghua harmonized, but when it came to the chorus stage, Zeng Yi did not give up the C position this time, but sang a duet with Linghua.
The vicissitudes of life's open-minded singing complemented Ling Hua's domineering and high-spirited singing, and the house was full of applause in an instant.
After the song was sung, several judges including Liu Huan and Xiao Zhou praised Phoenix Legend's adaptation of this song, which is full of personal characteristics.
When it was Cao Xuan's turn to comment, he looked at Zeng Yi whose forehead was already dripping with sweat, and smiled.
"Actually, I'm not surprised by the performance of the two of you. In my heart, you are definitely champion-level singers. What touched me more today is that Zeng Yi became the protagonist of the two of you.
I have seen many comments on the Internet, either malicious or ridiculed, saying that Zeng Yi is just a make-up and Linghua is the core of Phoenix Legend.
But in my opinion, the two of you are the most important, and your combination is Phoenix Legend. Zeng Yi's contribution to Phoenix Legend is not inferior to Linghua.
Today, please forget about [the man in Phoenix Legend] or [Oyege] and other nicknames for the time being, and remember his name, Phoenix Legend—Zeng Yi. "
"Come on, Zeng Yi! Come on, Phoenix Legend!"
"Zeng Yi is amazing!"
"Zeng Yi, great job!"
The audience at the scene called Zeng Yi's name under Cao Xuan's call, Zeng Yi bowed with red eyes, Ling Hua couldn't hide her tears, wiped the corners of her eyes, and embraced Zeng Yi.
Regardless of the overwhelming popularity of Legend of Phoenix in later generations, many people spoke highly of Zeng Yi, basically making jokes.
Even Zeng Yi himself laughed at himself, "What does Getu have to do with me? I only have a few words", and played the role of "suffering bag" + "eating soft food".
But in fact, at the beginning of Legend of Phoenix, since most of the lead singers were Ling Hua, many audience members didn't know much about music, and didn't understand Zeng Yi's role in it, so they thought he was a bastard who made up the numbers.
The voice was so ugly and vicious that only the person involved could understand that the disbandment of Legend of Phoenix, which was repeatedly rumored in later generations, was actually driven by Zeng Yi.
While "Star of Tomorrow" gave Phoenix Legend great exposure, it actually brought a lot of negative influences, Zeng Yi was under a lot of pressure.
Phoenix Legend's success in promotion is all thanks to Ling Hua, and if there is a loss, it will be Zeng Yi's fault...
All these things, in fact, this time "The Wind Rises" made Zeng Yi the lead singer. On the one hand, it was due to the style of the adaptation, and on the other hand, it more or less meant to justify his name.
The approval of the boss Cao Xuan and the support and encouragement of the audience also made this Hunan man unable to hold back his inner emotions and burst into tears on the stage.
And Cao Xuan also clicked to the end, indicating that the host arranged for the audience to vote.
In fact, he was trying to solicit votes for Legend of Phoenix just now, and it was actually a bit unfair to Gu Miaomiao. If he hadn't really appreciated Zeng Yi, he wouldn't have done so.
In the first round, 500 spectators scored on the spot. Each spectator scored from 1 to 5 points.
Don't underestimate the 100 points added. According to the rules, these 100 points are counted in the comprehensive calculation of this round. 500 points are the full score, and 100 points are very valuable.
If the gap between the two sides is not large, this 100 points is likely to play a decisive role.
The 1-minute audience scoring time, the atmosphere of the scene was tense and depressing, and even the audience watching in front of the TV were worried.
Fanxing Film and Television City, dormitory canteen
Yan Ni couldn't help but grabbed Sha Yi's shoulders in front of her, secretly exerting force with her fingers, grinning Sha Yi's teeth in pain.
"Well, well, take it easy."
"Ah, I dare not watch, Miaomiao won, you tell me."
Yan Ni ignored Sha Yi, looking at the results that were about to be announced, she couldn't stand the excitement, and she had an ostrich mentality, and plunged into Da Mi Mi's arms, knocking out ripples on the small and scaled mountain.
However, although the eyes saw the TV, the voice of the host announcing the result reached the ears.
"Gu Miaomiao got 441 votes and Phoenix Legend got 463 votes. Congratulations to Phoenix Legend for winning this round."
"Alas."
Those who support Legend of Phoenix in the canteen smiled and cheered, while those who liked Gu Miaomiao sighed and looked gloomy, and staged scenes of human sorrow and joy.
Of course, there are more neutral audiences, and the emotions are not so substituted, mainly to analyze the battle situation.
"This Gu Miaomiao is dangerous. Legend of Phoenix won the first round. The judges' comments just now were obviously biased towards Legend of Phoenix. Gu Miaomiao's chance of winning the next round is not high."
"That's right, although the last round of popularity votes is the most important, but if you lose the first two rounds, Gu Miaomiao basically only has the possibility of advancing theoretically."
"This is not necessarily true. In the final calculation, the proportion of popularity votes is the highest, accounting for 40%. If Gu Miaomiao greatly surpasses Phoenix Legend in the last round of popularity votes, there is still a chance to come back."
"The popularity of Phoenix Legend is not a vegetarian, so it is so easy to be crushed."
"Don't forget, Gu Miaomiao got 200 million votes in the semi-finals. Others can't do it, but she doesn't have to."
"It doesn't matter how many votes, if I were Gu Miaomiao, I would try my best to get it in the next round, otherwise I would be passive."
"Legend of the Phoenix will not let her get what she wants, and she will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue her."
"..."
A group of people were arguing, and it was Zhang Jie and Yao Beina's turn to compete in their first round.
In this way, the two groups alternately compete, and the emotions are progressive, which is more conducive to viewing, and it can also give the players a certain amount of time to adjust their status, and there are many explosive points.
Compared with the previous round, Zhang Jie and Yao Beina are the real high-energy competition, there is no nonsense at all, and they directly output with all their strength.
Zhang Jie, nicknamed Xiao Cao Xuan, still chose Cao Xuan's song this time, which is the Divine Comedy "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" for the Spring Festival Gala.
And Yao Beina also chose a song from the judges, Wang Fei's "Red Bean".
Singing a cover song in front of the original singer also requires courage, but both of them are capable, and they performed steadily and were very brilliant.
As the host of the seven judges, Cao Xuan, who continued to pay attention to the show, took the initiative to introduce it to the other judges.
"This Zhang Jie is very explosive, and she can accurately grasp the emotions of the songs. Yao Beina is stable enough. I have listened to her performances for about 5 to 7 performances. Basically, there is nothing wrong with her, and her ability to convey emotions is first-rate.
I personally think that the level of the two of them is no less than that of professional singers, and even many professional singers are not as strong as the two of them. "
"Listen to you, have you been following our show and the two of them?"
The host Hua Shao asked a question, and Cao Xuan nodded: "Generally, whenever I have time, I will watch the live broadcast of our show, and sometimes I will watch the replay of the highlights, and these two appeared in my line of sight very early.
Especially Zhang Jie, little Cao Xuan, in fact, I recommended him to participate in the competition at the beginning. "
"There is still this origin."
Everyone was surprised at the scene, and Zhang Jie nodded a little embarrassedly, telling the "secret" that has been hidden in his heart.
"Last year in Rongcheng, Mr. Cao went to Rongda University to promote a movie. I went to ask for an autograph and said that I love singing, and then he encouraged me to sign up. Unexpectedly, Mr. Cao still remembered me."
"Of course I can't forget it. I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise."
Cao Xuan half-truthfully stated that he certainly remembered Zhang Jie, the future star, but he didn't expect that the opponent really came and went all the way to the finals.
Not to mention that Zhang Jie was influenced by him to become [Little Cao Xuan]. Seeing this future front-line singer worship him so much, he looks like a crazy little fan.
I have to say that this feeling is quite refreshing, which is why Cao Xuan looks at Zhang Jie differently.
Of course, Cao Xuan also attaches great importance to Yao Beina, and specially introduced her background in the Youth Song Competition and her resume of participating in many national performances.
In his own words: "This is the seedling of a future singer, and he has to sing solo at the Spring Festival Gala."
To be honest, although the previous judges knew about "Rising Star", they still "underestimated" the contestants and regarded them as rookies.
But after this round of competition, the performance of the 4 groups of contestants was better than the other, which more or less stunned the judges.
Xiao Zhou even said self-effacingly that in terms of singing skills, he is no longer particularly qualified to comment. Cheng Long's comment was an eye-opener, and Liu Huanlian said that he is a formidable young man.
Liu Tianwang's evaluation is the most exaggerated: "20 years ago you debuted in Xiangjiang, there is no Andy Lau of the Four Heavenly Kings."
Naturally, the judges' words were somewhat modest and exaggerated. They deliberately praised the contestants, but they couldn't take it seriously, but it could be seen that they really recognized the contestants, otherwise they wouldn't have given so many compliments.
Face is earned by strength, and the judges can't even praise the contestants if their performance is really broken...
In the end, the audience on both sides scored very tightly. In the end, Zhang Jie narrowly beat Yao Beina with a three-point advantage.
Considering the strength of both sides, Yao Beina has a good chance to comeback in the second round.
Compared with the last group of Phoenix Legends who had an absolute promotion advantage, there is no doubt that the competition between Zhang Jie and Yao Beina is more suspenseful and more worrying for the audience.
.........
Soon, the second round of competition began. In this round, seven judges scored, and each judge scored 100 points, decreasing by 5 points. That is to say, the scores were all 80 or 85.
The winner will finally get 150 extra points for this round. Considering the total score is 700, it is not much different from the previous round of 100 extra points.
It was still Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao who competed first, but this time Phoenix Legend took the lead and played Tengger's "Paradise".
This kind of prairie song is definitely an advantage for Linghua, especially the Mongolian Humai, which is vast, pure and long, and because it is a female voice, it has a special taste
Zeng Yi compiled a rap and mixed it with many fashionable and novel elements compared to the original version.
As for Gu Miaomiao, she sang "Later" by Liu Milk Tea. This time she was cornered, and she tried her best to perform.
A song was sad and sentimental, with a bit of farewell to the memories of the past. Gu Miaomiao sang very emotionally. In the second half, there were tears in the eyes, and the audience sang along, turning the final into a small concert .
But it is also true, which proves that Gu Miaomiao's singing is very resonant and very contagious.
The live broadcast also made this picture true and correct to thousands of households, giving the audience a deeper impression of the performance.
After Gu Miaomiao finished singing, the judges began to score the two groups of contestants on the spot.
Perhaps out of real feelings, but also for the effect of the show, several judges began to help "canvass" for their favorite performance while commenting.
"I think Miaomiao's performance is better. I saw that many audiences behind me were moved and cried. The best song is to enter people's hearts."
Ren Xianqi unequivocally supported Gu Miaomiao and got Liu Tianwang's consent, but Xiao Zhou had a different opinion with them.
"I like Legend of the Phoenix better. That Humai is really cool, and the rap, I think Zeng Yi wrote the introduction, it's not bad, I have time to discuss it."
"I also think Linghua's "Paradise" is even better, it is music that can touch the soul."
Liu Huan also voted for Phoenix Legend, and Wang Fei personally admired Gu Miaomiao more, so it was hard not to rule out that Gu Miaomiao was her fan.
As for Brother Cheng Long, he was a little swaying, but in the end he was more inclined to Phoenix Legend. He prefers some atmospheric songs.
Three votes VS three votes
In the end, everyone looked at Cao Xuan, waiting for his final decision.
But who is Mr. Cao, who has been with the East and West Palaces for so long, and his bowl-handling skills have become proficient, so he smiled and wrote down his score directly.
"I like both programs, one is 95 points, and the other is also 95 points."
"Ah~"
A few judges expressed contempt, but they quickly became popular. Those who liked voted for a full score of 100 points, and those who didn't like voted for 80 points.
So the six judges stood in a balanced team, and Cao Xuan served the bowl by himself. In the end, the two groups of contestants had the same number of votes and a tie.
According to the rules, in the case of a tie, the two sides will not add points, and the next round will be postponed.
Fanxing Film and Television City, dormitory canteen
Everyone in the crew of "Wulin Biography" looked at each other, and the youngest Wang Shasha couldn't help complaining.
"Can you still play like this? It's too boring."
As soon as he said a word, he was immediately recognized by other people, and everyone agreed with him.
"Aren't these judges too timid to offend anyone?"
"It's not entirely because I don't dare to offend people. The performances of these two programs are indeed evenly divided. It's hard for me to choose."
"Actually, it's mainly because of Cao Xuan. The other judges seem to have discussed it. It's up to Cao Xuan, the master, to decide. After all, they are all stars and entertainers. Whoever advances is not a matter of his words. In the end, he himself was also a thief. The bowl of water is level."
"Don't want to do it anymore? Who is the thief? It's our boss."
"Actually, it's difficult for him too. Don't look at him as the boss, he deserves to be scolded. Gu Miaomiao's fans are crazy."
"What do you mean? Who are you talking about? What happened to our water baby?"
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel. See what this means. Although Gu Miaomiao didn't win this round, he didn't let Phoenix Legend win. There is still a chance."
"That's right, it's a draw. Phoenix Legend has a big advantage in the first round, but the popularity of Gu Miaomiao is its strength. It's really hard to say who will win."
"Why do I feel that the program deliberately did this to make us feel that Gu Miaomiao still has hope, and deliberately cheated us of tickets?"
"Don't talk about it, if there is such a possibility, these profiteers will pay in different ways."
"Don't talk about profiteers or anything, just say whether you voted or not."
"There is no shady scene in this show, I will definitely vote..."
There are definitely a lot of complaints like this, and they are not very dissatisfied. Everyone also admits that these two programs did perform well, and it is difficult to accurately determine the winner.
The key point is that everyone is looking forward to a high or low result. Supporters from all sides are ready to enter the arena to quarrel, but in the end there is a draw, and everyone is stunned. Why don't they just curse.
It is estimated that they also felt the resentment of everyone, and the judges of the next round restrained a lot.
Just in time for Yao Beina's performance to be more prominent, five of the judges unanimously gave her full marks, allowing her to win this round.
So far, she and Zhang Jie have won a round alone, and they still maintain the same level. It all depends on the last round of popularity competition.
The first ones to start were Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao. When the two had just entered the stage, the program team opened the off-site voting channel.
At this moment, to be honest, whether the show is good or bad has become a foil, and the popularity competition is the key point.
In the cafeteria, Yan Ni took out her mobile phone without saying a word, looked at the TV number and began to vote for Gu Miaomiao, not forgetting to help canvass.
"If you have votes, help me out. Count the votes for Gu Miaomiao. I'll treat everyone to dinner later."
Those who support Gu Miaomiao will naturally have audiences who like Legend of Phoenix: "Everyone vote for Legend of Phoenix and support our contestants in the capital competition area."
"What's wrong with the capital competition area? I'm not from the capital either. I'm still Tou Miaomiao. She's pretty and has a good song."
"What's so great about relying on face to eat, please support the capable faction if you have connotations."
Pulling and pulling votes, the cafeteria has also become a tripartite group, neutral passersby eat melons, and the fans of the other two songs do not forget to mock each other while canvassing votes.
Fortunately, they are all colleagues from the same crew, so there will be no more conflicts. If strangers meet outside, it might be just greetings + fighting.
Soon, the two groups of contestants finished singing their own songs respectively. After the judges commented, they gave the last 3 minutes to canvass votes, and the audience and fans also fell into "crazy".
"Shusha, help me cast a few votes, and I'll call Sister Fei to make up for you later."
"Sister, I am a minor and cannot vote."
"...Forget it, you can borrow the phone from my sister, my mobile phone is out of charge, I'll call home."
"Hey, mom watching TV, yes, vote, what? You voted for Phoenix Legend, why?"
After the fans spent all their phone bills, they began to persuade the people next to them to vote. Even the uninterested viewers voted a few votes voluntarily or involuntarily under the begging of their friends.
When 3 minutes was up, the two scrolling numbers on the big screen stopped.
Phoenix Legend: 233 million+ tickets
Gu Miaomiao: 312 million+ sheets
The latter surpassed the former by nearly 80 votes, winning a landslide victory, and got an extra 10% bonus points, which means Gu Miaomiao added 31.2+ votes.
Based on the comprehensive calculation of the three rounds, the first two rounds each accounted for 30%, and the last round of popular votes accounted for 40%.
The two sides were tied in the second round, Phoenix Legend won the first round, Gu Miaomiao won by a large margin in the third round, plus the proportion of the last round...
Two beams of lights flickered among the three of them, and finally fixed on Gu Miaomiao.
Gu Miaomiao advanced to compete for the championship!
Legend of the Phoenix, regrettably lost.
All the audience who supported Gu Miaomiao fell into a state of cheering in an instant. They probably went to buy firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate, but they couldn't help but set them off casually.
On the stage, although Phoenix Legend couldn't hide his frustration after the failure, he didn't lose his composure.
Although the ambition is to be the champion, after all, the top four compete for a throne, and no one is good at it, so they have already prepared in their hearts.
What's more, Phoenix Legend and Gu Miaomiao have worked together in the "I Love Lyrics" program group for two years, and they have a good personal relationship. During the competition, they were tit-for-tat, and off the field they were still good friends.
Ling Hua and Zeng Yi adjusted their mentality, stepped forward to hug and congratulate, and cheered up their friends.
"Miaomiao, come on and win the championship, let those newcomers know how powerful we are."
"Thank you Sister Hua, Brother Yi, I will work hard."
Since then, Legend of Phoenix has finished work, and can be a quiet audience, while Gu Miaomiao goes backstage to hold her breath, waiting for the final battle in the near future.
There was a special TV broadcast in the background, but Gu Miaomiao didn't have the mood and courage to watch it, so she sat on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.
It wasn't until I heard a new round of movement that I couldn't help but open my eyes, open the door and ask the staff.
"Who's winning?"
"Zhang Jie, the victory was too thrilling. In the last round, the votes were only less than 2 votes. There is one minute left. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose."
Gu Miaomiao didn't listen to the last words, knowing who the final opponent was, she completely blocked other voices, got up and went to the waiting area.
But at this moment, during the commercial time, Zhang Jie, who had just won the victory, also came to the waiting area. The two looked at each other, and there were faint sparks flying in the air.
Yao Beina, who also resigned from the stage, was talking to Zhang Jie. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly hid aside, envious and eating melons at the same time.
The depressed mood of losing just now has also faded a lot. She even wondered if she should get a camera to take a picture of this scene and post it on the blog. At least tens of thousands of followers can be gained...
But Zhang Jie and the two didn't give him this chance. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Zhang Jie took the initiative to smile and speak.
"come on."
"You too!"
Gu Miaomiao also returned a smile, as if it wasn't the two of them who set off the sparks just now.
Yao Beina was amazed at the side, is this the battle state that comes with the promotion?
If he had been promoted just now, wouldn't he and Gu Miaomiao smile and encourage each other while setting off sparks?
Not much to say, after a while, the 10-minute commercial ended, and the highlight of tonight's "Star of Tomorrow" finally came.
Who will be the champion of the first season of "Tomorrow's Star" will depend on the performance in the next half an hour...
The format of the final competition is still the same as before. It is divided into three rounds, followed by the comprehensive calculation of the scores of the audience, judges and off-site popularity.
The two drew lots, and Gu Miaomiao got the upper hand, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the first move is the first, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to be the second striker.
Gu Miaomiao didn't talk nonsense, and took out the song "Little Lucky" written by Cao Xuan to Sun Yanzi, which was clean, clear and touching.
When it came to the finals, Gu Miaomiao's strategy was to seek stability rather than danger. All the songs were themes she was best at, and her singing method was more orthodox.
Although there are very few surprises in this way, as long as she plays steadily and her own strength and popularity are here, the score is definitely not low.
Gu Miaomiao knew that her advantage was her popularity. If she could win the first two rounds, it would be best to win. If she couldn't win, she would try to get as many points as possible, so as not to be pulled too far away, and rely on the final third round to comeback.
What Gu Miaomiao knew, Zhang Jie also understood.
Just now, he and Yao Beina both had around 250 million votes, which was not far behind Gu Miaomiao's 312 million votes, which made him realize that it would be difficult for him to win against Gu Miaomiao in the third round.
Therefore, the best way is to score as many points as possible in the first two rounds, and gain enough advantages to make up for the disadvantages in the third round.
And Gu Miaomiao's own strength is not low, unless he makes a major mistake, Zhang Jie doesn't think he will gain an overwhelming advantage over him.
Unless... a surprise win!
But most of the time, strange tricks also mean risks. Only a few of them win by using them, and most of them are smart but are overturned by mistake.
But there is no way, Gu Miaomiao's popularity advantage is too great, if he plays according to the routine, it is tantamount to falling into the opponent's rhythm, being slowly pulled into the quagmire, and his chance of winning is not high.
It's better to put all your eggs in one basket and gamble. Losing is nothing more than the worst outcome, and winning is blood money.
Then there was a scene that surprised everyone.
Xiao Cao Xuan, who has been singing Cao Xuan's songs since the audition, unexpectedly came up with an original song in the final, which was still a hip-hop song.
But soon, many smart people realized that the rules for originality points also apply in the finals.
And since it was the final, considering the disadvantages of the original song, the principle of extra points was increased. For example, in the first round, the extra points were 80 points, almost catching up with the victory in this round.
But under favorable conditions, it is self-evident which one is easier to impress the audience than a brand new original song or a classic old song.
This is also the reason why several other contestants are indifferent even knowing that originality will add points.
Of course, the fact that several other players are not completely good at originality is also an important reason.
As I said before, "Rising Star" has very high requirements for originality. A song must be written or composed by a contestant or 50% of the entire song, and must pass the review of the program group before this score will be added.
Zhang Jie's song "Blur" was able to be sung in the finals, it must have passed the review of the program group, and the host also introduced afterwards that he is indeed the song's lyricist.
I don't know how many people were moved by this scene, this kid Zhang Jie can really hide.
In the previous national top [-] competition stage, although Zhang Jie performed relatively strongly, he was not without danger at all, and even had the risk of being eliminated several times.
Let's not talk about it, let's just talk about the confrontation between him and Yao Beina just now, the gap between the two sides is very small, and he may be eliminated if he is not careful.
Under such circumstances, this guy held back his trump card and waited until the last moment before declaring himself a semi-original singer.
To be honest, when Zhang Jie came on stage to sing his original song, Yao Beina and Phoenix Legend who were eating melons in the audience, and Gu Miaomiao who had just returned to the waiting area, all yelled in unison, shocked by Zhang Jie's coquettish manipulation.
They are all players, and they understand the pressure in the arena better. To be honest, everyone's tricks were basically squeezed out in the end.
I thought they were all going into battle shirtless, but Zhang Jie secretly hid a submachine gun, who the hell could bear it...
After singing the song, several judges also looked at each other in blank dismay, Cao Xuan couldn't help asking.
"Whether the song is good or not is put aside for now, I'm just curious. How do you resist not using original songs?"
Zhang Jie scratched his head, and said honestly: "Actually, I can't talk about tolerance. The main reason is that I only had two original songs, and I wanted to save some, but I didn't expect to save them until the finals. If you don't use them, it will be too late, so Just sang."
"Okay, I'm a person who lives a life."
Cao Xuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and then commented on Zhang Jie's song: "The lyrics are not bad, the music is average, I can find someone to redo the arrangement later, and then put it directly on the new album."
"Thank you, teacher."
As a bigwig in the original music industry, Cao Xuan's authority is beyond doubt. Zhang Jie couldn't help but smile when he made a good comment, saying that he could produce an album.
At this time, Xiao Zhou, another original tycoon, also chatted about Zhang Jie's song. He is good at composing and arranging music, and he pointed out the weakness of this song more intuitively.
In the end, he even said: "I still like this song quite a bit. If you are interested, you can leave a contact information later, and I can give you some reference opinions."
"Thank you Jay Lun."
This call Jie Lun made Xiao Zhou extremely comfortable, and I don't know if he was infected by Cao Xuan. Now he especially likes to be called "Brother" by some juniors.
The popular explanation is: Brother Xuan's happiness, I finally feel it...
Although the song "Blur" is not very good, being able to sing an original song on this stage is a kind of courage in itself, and you will get some care points more or less.
At the same time, because Zhang Jie's strange trick really shocked many people, to a certain extent he earned a lot of points, plus 80 points for originality.
In the end, with 551 votes, he beat Gu Miaomiao's 463 votes, and won 100 additional votes for the first round of victory, leading by a large margin.
In the second round of the competition, Zhang Jie once again presented the original song "Love of the Big Dipper", which is of better quality than the previous song "Blur".
According to Cao Xuan's evaluation: it is considered a relatively good pop song, and it can even serve as the title song of the album.
Xiao Zhou and Liu Huan also spoke highly of it, and several other judges also gave good comments. Zhang Jie won another overwhelming victory in the second round.
At this point, the situation is clear.
Gu Miaomiao, who had the chance to win, was manipulated by Zhang Jie's two tricks, bringing her back to the evenly matched, even faintly disadvantaged situation.
According to the existing data of the first two rounds, if Gu Miaomiao wants to win Zhang Jie, he must win at least 100 million+ votes. In this way, with the 10% bonus for winning the third round, he has a chance to come back.
This difficulty is not small, no matter how popular Gu Miaomiao is, Zhang Jie is not a vegetarian.
Especially in the last round, Zhang Jie concentrated all his attention and used his strength to sing "Red Ling". Although the opera tone is not very standard, the clean and clear treble made up for everything.
On the contrary, Gu Miaomiao was a little out of order under the pressure. Although the classic old song "Ping Ju" was not bad, it was quite satisfactory, not as good as the previous few games.
Before the final result was announced, Gu Miaomiao had predicted the result, and couldn't help but blushed.
And the end result was just as she expected.
Gu Miaomiao's votes reached an unprecedented 407 million+, but Zhang Jie's votes also set a new record in personal history, reaching 313 million+. After comprehensive calculation, the final winner was——
Zhang Jie!
boom!
Not to mention how ecstatic and heartbroken the two supporters in front of the TV were.
Before the stage of "Tomorrow's Star", sparks and white smoke flashed all around the moment the championship result was announced, and streamers and sparkles floated down from the sky, falling on the smirking Zhang Jie's head, and the seven judges stood up and applauded congratulate.
After more than half a year of preparation, the audition began in April, and the National Top 4 Competition took nearly two months from June to now.
The first season of "Tomorrow's Star" is finally over, whether it is the champion, or the top four, top ten, top twenty, or even top fifty, top hundred.
Many contestants have entered a new chapter of their lives after this program...
Nearly [-] characters, it is not too much to ask for a monthly ticket
