Chapter 672 Fierce fighting, King of Songs crowned

Backstage of "I Am a Singer" Finals

There are still a few hours before the live broadcast is ready. Several groups of players go to the field in order, and the rest of the time stays in their rooms, or closes their eyes and rests, or chats to relax.

Cao Xuan came to the program group after four o'clock in the afternoon. After saying hello to the director and the person in charge, he was going to visit several groups of contestants.

Everyone is here, so we have to say hello.

According to normal logic, it should be someone else who came to greet him, but after all, it was a competition, and Cao Xuan didn't want to affect the players too much, so he just came to meet him in person.

咚咚
Cao Xuan knocked on the door of the lounge, because it was a competitive reality show, in addition to performing on stage, the singer's private state was also one of the highlights.

Everyone has their own lounge, and there are photographers tracking and shooting whether it is rest, rehearsal, or watching the competition.

"I'm coming."

Cao Xuan knocked on the door, there was a voice from inside, the door opened, it was "broker" Anze.

An Ze's movement alarmed the two resting inside, Lin Zhixuan and Lin Junjie who were sitting comfortably got up immediately.

"invisible Wings"

Cao Xuan is willing to praise such a powerful singer and add a bit of heritage to the Chinese music scene.

If Cao Xuan comes forward, there is no need to be biased, as long as some off-court factors can be reduced, today's match will still be more...

Cao Xuan didn't refuse, and he didn't have any musical instruments or soundtrack, so he sang a little a cappella with the accompaniment on his mobile phone.

Cao Xuan didn't know that Lin Zhixuan had so many thoughts, so he bid farewell to Shuanglin and went to see Yuquan again.

To be honest, the effect is quite good. Both of them have relatively high voices, clear voices, and they cooperate well. Coupled with the quality of "The Wind Rises" itself, it must be today's hit.

When Anze opened the door, he saw the cameraman and director. He thought it was for the host or staff to arrange tasks.

But now that time has passed, Cao Xuan's status is getting higher and higher, and the "Brother Xuan" who used to connote submission, instead appears to be close to Cao Xuan, becoming a symbol of status and seniority.

Compared with Huang Qishan, who has put down her psychological burden and played at a super level with a clear gap, Yuquan, who is expected to make a comeback, is obviously more thoughtful.

Lin Zhixuan narrowly lost to Yao Beina again in the second round of voting. With the sum of the two rounds of votes, Yao Beina was successfully elected as the singer of the first season of "I Am a Singer".

On the contrary, it is the other three groups, whether it is their own fame and status, or the ability to operate behind it, that can maximize the benefits of this name as much as possible.

A dark horse is hard to come by, and it is even more difficult to get a dark horse...

In terms of singing skills, Huang Qishan can be called a top singer, Yao Beina is not easy to provoke, and Yuquan is a top-tier combination that has been famous for more than ten years.

As today's special judge, Cao Xuan naturally has his own right to score, and the proportion is not low. When the difference in scores between the two sides is not big, it is very likely to play a decisive role.

Liu Tianxian has released albums and appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, and he is barely a professional singer, but in this kind of master duel, the greatest success is not to be held back.

The remaining Lin Zhixuan and Yao Beina were considered to be more and more courageous as they fought, and they all showed good performances.

Although the voting depends on the specific stage performance, after all, most of the main voters are ordinary audiences. Apart from performances, they still care about other factors such as fame.

Huang Qishan had a calm mind, and she was the first to appear on the stage according to the ranking in the first round. On the contrary, the song "Waiting" played on a high-pitched performance was super-level, powerful and heart-piercing.

Also good at treble, she chose a soothing love song on the stage of the final, which was like a spring breeze, gentle, fresh and natural.

The new generation of singers who rose later, no matter how popular they are, are not qualified to call them this way, and even those who are not famous enough or not close enough to Cao Xuan are half forced to give up this name.

Among the crowd of music critics, Cao Xuan stood up to pay his respects, which attracted warm applause and cheers from millions of audience.

If it is Lin Zhixuan, he came with a set of peerless swordsmanship, cutting gold and jade, full of determination.

Little Yueyue!
After the turmoil in August, after many pillars left, the beloved disciple whom the little black fat man praised is now a relatively well-known new star in the cross talk world.

However, several players and fans before the live TV broadcast were very nervous. Coupled with the melon-eaters from all walks of life, the network where the live broadcast was synchronized was quite lively.

Coupled with the combination of two people, the emotions did not reach an agreement. Although there were no omissions and mistakes in the program, the overall effect can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

It made Cao Xuan's eyes shine, and in the following judges session, he greatly praised Huang Qishan.

But now Cao Xuan's impression of himself is pretty good.This set his heart on fire.

The meaning is very clear: can you do it?

The rest of Huang Qishan and Zheng Chunyuan didn't have much to say, it was the first time for the three of them to meet.

This also made them fall into a difficult choice, each with a tangled face, repeatedly pondering and hesitating.

Prior to this, these people only existed as interviews and commentators, and did not have the right to directly score points. The changes in this finals can be regarded as balancing Cao Xuan to a certain extent, and it also makes him appear less obtrusive.

"Ah yes yes yes."

After the two performed, their smiles obviously became forced, and Cao Xuan didn't even need to say anything to understand that he was no longer the King of Songs today.

For these "brokers", it is also an opportunity to show their faces in variety shows, and if they are lucky, they can also make certain contacts.

But they are all excellent singers, and their personalities are relatively cheerful, so we still have a good chat.

"Then, among so many singers, which one do you like the most? Multiple-choice question, you must answer."

Cao Xuan knocked on Yao Beina's door with complicated emotions, and he couldn't help sighing at the answer he got.

The news has already been received here, and Yu Quan greeted him personally, beside Sun Nan and a fat man with a crew-shaven head.

This can also be seen from the ups and downs of the two people's cheers at the beginning and end of the scene. The addition of Liu Tianxian, the national goddess, is very terrifying.

"In terms of vocal talent, Ms. Huang ranks among the top five singers I've seen. I can't help being envious. This is a born singer."

Famous stars don't like this kind of positioning, but it's not bad for newcomers. Fanxing pushed a few internal schedules, and found a few close to Fanxing's line.

Is this the "I Am a Singer" song king competition, or the Cao Xuan Fan Club...

Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Cao Xuan behind him. He was startled, and he stood up straight unconsciously, with an erratic voice.

Just kidding, do you know what Master Duan Shui is?

This guy had met Cao Xuan before, seeing that his master, who was always laughing and scolding, behaved well in front of Cao Xuan, he was a little afraid of Cao Xuan, and stayed silent.

With the degree of tacit understanding and song adaptation design, Lin Zhixuan and Lin Junjie are the strongest. "The Wind Rises" shows all the advantages of the two singers, which is extremely eye-catching.

"Watch it when I have time, and surf the Internet when I can't watch TV. I dare not say I watch it all, but it's okay."

Facts have proved that Cao Xuan's guesses are all correct.

"Let's invite today's special judge—Ms. Cao Xuan Cao."

Huang Qishan, who is at the bottom, is more troublesome, and the gap between Yao Beina, who is the first, is as high as three digits.

I dare not say that Lin Zhixuan is the same as the stabilizer, but he is definitely not inferior to the opponent.

Cao Xuan would have to wonder if this person was reincarnated, or if a rich family came down to experience life...

Therefore, among their group of singers, they all believed that Yao Beina and Yu Quan had the best chance of winning, and he and Huang Qishan had a high probability of running with them.

After a long time, Cao Xuan became acquainted with him, and the relationship was even better than knowing a certain king first.

[Who do you think can win the championship, I am optimistic about Yuquan]

"I heard you've been following our show too?"

During the flower picking and congratulations, Yao Beina hugged the excited Liu Tianxian, and then Cao Xuan presented the award.

According to seniority, in fact, the other party should call him master like his wife, but Cao Xuan always feels awkward when he calls him brother Xuan.

Because of this, Lin Junjie's posture was more casual: "Brother Xuan, I will sing your song "The Wind Rises" today, why don't you give us some pointers."

It was Yao Beina who couldn't stand it anymore, and spoke to her best friend: "Sissy likes this song very much, she usually sings it all the time, and this time I practiced it many times in private, it must be fine."

Cao Xuan looked at Liu Tianxian in surprise, the latter straightened his body with a proud face.

The main purpose is to increase interaction. Singers rehearse and train in private, and rarely meet other singers, and most of them are relatively reserved, so they need a fan to enliven the atmosphere.

Liu Yan sighed with emotion, and then changed the tone of the conversation, with a smirk.

Cao Xuan: "..."

"That's really a big fan of our show."

It is not an exaggeration to say that the gimmick of [Cao Xuan is envious, the top five I see], as long as her team knows how to operate marketing, it can increase her net worth by a few percent.

Cao Xuan thought about it, picked up the voting device, and divided his 100 votes into four.

Huang Qishan is known as a super dark horse, which is a compliment, but it also means that she is really not popular.

Liu Tianxian did not hold Yao Beina back. On the contrary, she understood the song very well. Although her singing skills were far inferior to the latter, her emotional interpretation was in place. Considering that her expectations were too low, this performance can even be said to be It was a surprise.

As for Yao Beina and Liu Tianxian, to be honest, Cao Xuan was a little surprised.

Then Yao Beina just played a set of Taijiquan, using softness to overcome rigidity, and attacking later.

This is not beyond everyone's expectations.

Cao Xuan and so many Leping people are very relaxed, talking and laughing.

The "Brother Xuan" back then was more a reflection of Cao Xuan's status, and it was also a respectful title respected by the same generation and the new generation of singers in the entire Chinese music scene.

In addition to Cao Xuan, many music critics also had their own voting rights in the final.

The song Yao Beina chose was not Cao Xuan's album or single, but it was written by him. The only representative work of the Empress of the East Palace, which dominated the 2003 Spring Festival Gala Wang Zhan——

【…】

And Yao Beina sang Cheer Chen's masterpiece "The Meaning of Travel".

For her, whether she can become the king of singers is not particularly important.

[Lin Zhixuan is more powerful]

And this is enough, Yao Beina is already in the leading position, as long as she keeps this advantage, everything will be fine.

[Looking at it this way, it’s really hard to choose. Everyone has a chance, let’s see how they perform.]

But today Cao Xuan is destined not to be a master of Duan Shui, the problem can be avoided, but the responsibilities of the judges are still there.

Yao Beina is a direct descendant of Fanxing, even if Fanxing doesn't intentionally take sides, she can still receive some care in the open and in the dark.

"It's pretty good. I usually do shows and commercial performances. We just built a new small theater last year, and Master will sit there when he has nothing to do."

To some extent, Cao Xuan used his fame and status to help Huang Qishan raise his status.

But he also knows that his chance of winning the championship is very small. Strength is one aspect, he is very strong, and the others are not bad.

【support】

Now and now.In the entertainment industry, Cao Xuan can be called "Brother Xuan", I dare not say that all of them are elite big names, but none of them are good.

Singing skills Huang Qishan and Zheng Chunyuan are the strongest, one is a natural maiba, and the other is a veteran Korean singer. Together, the singing skills alone are definitely unique today.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring this word."

Prior to this, Cao Xuan's songs had appeared on the stage of "I Am a Singer" many times.

Lin Junjie was not bad. When he became famous, Cao Xuan was already a bigwig in the music scene, but this man knew how to be a man. Boss Cao was willing to help him with anything, and he was more active than Xiao Zhou, his own little brother.

Cao Xuan didn't chat with Yu Quan too much, mainly because there was another bad artist.

Lin Zhixuan himself has also accumulated a lot of popularity.

The host of Stars, Liu Yan, personally hosted, and after introducing the major financial sponsors, left the C position to Cao Xuan.

He has his own advantages, and so do others, not to mention various off-court factors.

Cao Xuan didn't treat him coldly, and after chatting with Yuquan and the others, he looked at him and asked.

"Good to say."

This evaluation can be described as quite high.

This can be regarded as his strong point, because the rules of "I Am a Singer" have restrictions. Except for the first competition where he can sing his own songs, other competitions must be cover songs. The test is the singer's adaptability and adaptation ability.

As for the general audience, there is no room for voting. Each person only has one vote, and they vote for their favorite.

As soon as the song was sung, Cao Xuan knew that Yao Beina would win.

[I don’t know if there will be a performance by the judges, it’s also good to satisfy your hunger]

Even from a practical point of view, even if she won the King of Songs, it would only be an extra title, and it would not be able to fully utilize the various benefits brought by this honor.

The few players who were evenly matched made the voices on the Internet inconclusive, and also invisibly enhanced the smell of gunpowder.

Qi Qin can be said to be the biggest name in the lineup of "I Am a Singer", but he retired for some reason, otherwise he would have a place in the final due to emotion and reason.

There are two rounds in the King of Singers finals, one is the singing part, the other is the singer's solo, and the comprehensive score is compared, and the winner with the highest score in the end.

After 10 minutes of advertising time, the voting ended, and the large screen directly connected to the voting machine released the vote count data.

[Our Nana is not bad, God rewards us with food, singing and arranging skills are very strong, all-around talent]

Music critics each have 10, which are also distributed in various ways.

To be honest, at that time no one was dissatisfied, but no one could challenge Cao Xuan who was in full swing.

Lin Zhixuan's "Never Left", the treble burst, and he didn't even take a breath. A love song sang the feeling of making a vow, like overwhelming mountains and seas, unstoppable.

"Teacher, I also released an album."

This is also what Cao Xuan deliberately did. The others are not short of a few words from him, but Huang Qishan's background is too weak.

Not only won the first place strongly, but also dominated the QQ star list for several weeks.

But these two may be too busy, or they are too embarrassed to come to the door for no reason, and they haven't seen each other usually. Cao Xuan got this opportunity, so he took advantage of this lover to make an appointment.

A Chinese singer paired with a Korean singer is not very good at singing Chinese or Korean songs. English songs are the most suitable option.

He is naturally very interested in the song king's nickname. After such a long competition, whoever wants to be the first one is willing to be a foil.

Many viewers who were holding back to watch the show failed to see Cao Xuan fall into the pit, and couldn't help booing and booing, Cao Xuan was indifferent.

The relationship between Cao Xuan and those two is not very good, but he loves to chat with them. He said that the cross talk is neat, human, and the size is in place.

Huang Qishan herself knows it, although she is a little bit disappointed, she is not sad. She has gained enough benefits from this show, and she can even be said to be the biggest winner.

As far as Cao Xuan is concerned, he even thinks that Lin Zhixuan is likely to be the first among the four players based on his comprehensive ability alone.

Anze can barely be regarded as a popular niche now, and he is relatively prominent among the stars of the new generation of artists.

This song is easy to learn but difficult to master. It took him a lot of effort to sing this song in the past. Yao Beina didn't care at all, and then looked suspiciously at Liu Tianxian.

Yuquan has been cultivating in the mainland for many years, and his popularity is stable, and the audience at the scene has some feelings in their hearts.

Cao Xuan, who is considered half a fan, sent his blessings with a sincere tone, and Lin Zhixuan was a little flattered.

But he is also used to it, the status gap and personal prestige are here, if one day he meets a newcomer who is not familiar with him, but dares to talk about it without changing his face in front of him.

Cao Xuan took his notebook and kept writing and drawing.

Time flies, and soon the live broadcast will officially start.

Cao Xuan nodded again and again, the column of his education in Baidu Encyclopedia still says Capital University, and he can hardly tell the score of the college entrance examination.

"CEO Cao."

"Mr. Lin, excuse me, Ajie, long time no see."

Cao Xuan laughed, it didn't bother him: "I like Big Brother Qi Qin the most."

Interestingly, the song they sang is also Cao Xuan's masterpiece "Skin".

Huang Qishan's reputation is low, and Zheng Chunyuan, who has almost no presence in China, is expected to be at the bottom.

"Okay, let your master and brother Qian come to me for tea when you have time, I haven't chatted for a long time."

Obviously feeling Cao Xuan's perfunctory and distrust, Liu Tianxian couldn't help but feel angry, his cheeks bulged.

Yu Quan and Sun Nan were the best performers on stage. The song "Running" sang very emotionally, and the whole scene was mobilized, and even led the chorus at one point. As old friends, the tacit understanding is also good.

In such an atmosphere, the four groups of contestants performed on stage one by one, and sang their own repertoire with the guest singers.

At this time, here is a soothing and fresh little love song, which is unique and touching with emotion, which makes people's eyes shine and makes them feel happy physically and mentally.

Plus Liu Tianxian's own popularity.The effect of Yao Beina's move may be better than expected.

This time in "I Am a Singer", the little black fat man also tried to squeeze his apprentice in to show his face. It happened that he and Yu Quan also knew each other, so he stuffed them under their hands as a manager.

"I haven't seen your master for more than half a year. How are you doing?"

So he didn't follow the program group all the time because he had a schedule for filming and finished filming. He happened to come over to follow up with the replacement singer.

Although the second round has not yet started, she still has the possibility of a comeback, but the gap is so large, theoretically, she can basically be considered out.

Liu Tianxian gritted her teeth silently. She understood to some extent the psychological feeling of being surnamed Yang at the time. It was very enjoyable when watching the theater, but it was not the same when it was her turn.

Each group of contestants in "I Am a Singer" is equipped with a celebrity manager.

【If he participates in the competition, what will happen to this show】

Cao Xuan greeted with a smile, Lin Zhixuan and Lin Zhixuan have dealt with each other before.But not too familiar.

If it weren't for the concern about the face of this "Miss Fanxing", Cao Xuan really wanted to ask Yao Beina what she thought.

Aren't you afraid of the show being overturned just because of the gimmicks and popularity?

Lin Zhixuan did a pretty good job in this regard.

"The Wind Rises" by Lin Zhixuan, "Skin" by Huang Qishan, and "Running" by Yuquan before.

Moreover, Cao Xuan could tell that Lin Zhixuan had made some changes to his own original version.

In particular, there was a round of adaptations of Cao Xuan's masterpiece "Fireworks Are Cold", which is cold and sad, with extremely stable timbre, which is indistinguishable from Cao Xuan's original version.

The reason why I choose English is mainly to take care of Zheng Chunyuan.

Cao Xuan has seen countless singers and singers, including some world-class singers. He still speaks highly of Huang Qishan. Although there may be some suspicion of talking on the scene, it also brings a lot of halo to Huang Qishan.

40 tickets were given to "The Wind Rises", 30 tickets were given to "Invisible Wings", 20 tickets were given to "Running", and the last 10 tickets were given to Huang Qishan.

.........

[Why doesn’t Cao Xuan end up participating in the competition, I haven’t seen him sing for a long time]

Are you so scary?

Although his reputation is not low, some singers are not popular, and his influence is still not on the front line. "I Am a Singer" made him popular in one fell swoop, and he is also one of the biggest beneficiaries of this show.

[The strongest singing skill is Huang Qishan, well, that high note sounds like it doesn’t need money, even Cao Xuan is ashamed of it]

Winning is winning because the choice of this song is too good. There are too many high-pitched songs that exploded on the stage today, and the audience even got bored to a certain extent.

"Mr. Lin, come on, I believe you will get good grades."

He was not surprised that his songs continued to appear in the finals, but he never expected that there would be so many.

"Shut up!"

From an unknown little singer, now the popularity is close to the front line, the appearance fee has doubled, and various invitations are soft.

Yao Beina took the lead temporarily with a slight advantage, followed by Lin Zhixuan, and Yuquan was slightly short of the two by dozens of votes, and there was still hope of overtaking them.

What symbolizes the king of singers is not a trophy or a common crown, but a jade seal, which is the token of the Chinese "king".

The jade is Hetian jade, but it is not a high-end species, but it is also worth six figures. On the seal is engraved with the boss of the dragon who gave birth to nine sons, and it is also a beast of rhythm.

The seal at the bottom is in two halves, the upper part is the word "King of Songs", and the lower part is the name. It has not been engraved yet, but it will be added later.

Seeing Yao Beina fiddling with this seal like a baby, Cao Xuan felt itchy in his heart, wondering if he should also go home and get a mutton jade seal...
