This star is wrong

Chapter 143 "Wedding Invitation Street", the theme of the next issue
Amid the cheers of the audience, Fang Xing stepped onto the stage.

This is the first time, on the stage, I heard the audience shouting their names.

Hearing the audience's reaction, Fang Xing knew that after half a year of fermentation, his background and audience relationship had taken shape.

This is thanks to the broadcast of "Song".

The top variety show, together with the two songs "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Qilixiang", has conquered many audiences.

Especially the audience at the scene, they all came to participate in the recording of the program. Last night, they must have watched the second episode of the program and listened to "Qilixiang".

It can be said that "Qilixiang" contributed a lot to the atmosphere on the scene.

After the audience quieted down, He Hao began to interact: "Fang Xing, did you expect the audience to be so enthusiastic tonight?"

"I didn't expect that." Fang Xing shook his head.

"Why? You are very popular now, don't you know?" He Hao continued to ask.

"Isn't the whole internet hacking me?" Fang Xing joked.

"But the slogan of your fans is, if you like you, you will be hated for the rest of your life." He Hao said with a suppressed smile.

"Then I thank them." Fang Xing replied.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"Let's get down to business, let's talk about tonight's song? The theme of tonight's competition is dialect. What kind of song have you prepared?" He Hao then asked.

"A Cantonese song." Fang Xing replied.

"When it comes to Cantonese songs, I'm already looking forward to it. Now netizens say that the song "Difficult to Recite" is the most difficult Cantonese song to learn." He Hao mentioned the Cantonese songs that Fang Xing sang before.

"I dare not say the hardest, but one of them is definitely." Fang Xing replied.

"So tonight's song is a song that tells a story?" He Hao continued to ask.

"It's about love, and it's also the old street stories left in people's memory through the changes of time." Fang Xing replied.

"When you listen to it, it smells like time has changed, so what is the name of this song? Tell the audience loudly." He Hao asked the last question.

""Wedding Invitation Street"." Fang Xing said the name of the song.

"Wedding Invitation Street" is a song written by Huang Weiwen, composed by Guo Weiliang and sung by Xie Anqi.

This song swept the four major award ceremonies in the Hong Kong music scene, winning 16 awards in total.

Xie Anqi is also known as the "Queen of Common People" with this song.

The singers who have sung this song are like crucian carp crossing the river, Eason Chan, Zhang Jingxuan, Zhou Shen, Wang Xiaomin, Su Yongkang, Liang Hanwen...

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have sung this song in concert.

This song tells the story of an old street in Xiangjiang where wedding invitations and wedding decorations have become a part of people's memory through the passage of time.

The song is extended from this, asking the sentence: "Doesn't the person you love live forever?"

……

The auditorium fell silent.

Spotlights shine on the stage.

Fang Xing lowered his head, brewing emotions, recalling the old neighborhood in his memory, then turned his head to look in the direction of the band, signaling that he was ready.

The prelude to the song sounded, and the bell rang a few times, as if it was the evening drum and the morning bell, heralding the disappearance of a period of time.

After the prelude passed, Fang Xing slowly sang:
"Forget the flowers you planted, start again, give up your ideals

"Don't look any more, the dusty wedding invitation, you are about to move..."

The main song is sung in a eloquent tone, as if leading the audience back to that old street.

The singing voice full of traces of time seems to awaken the audience's memories of the past.

The combination of the plain and straightforward lyrics and melody of this verse is very beautiful, but it can sing to people's hearts.

This kind of song that sounds gentle is actually more powerful.

The audience at the scene listened quietly.

Since the theme of the competition this time is dialect, when the program group gathered the audience, they specially found a lot of audience who understand the corresponding dialect according to the songs selected by the singer.

Singers choose the most Cantonese songs.

Therefore, some of the audience at the scene can understand Cantonese songs.

Even audiences who cannot understand Cantonese can feel the emotions expressed by the singer from the melody.

When the audience was brought into the story by the song, the scene became more and more quiet, and everyone listened quietly to the narration.

The singers who have finished singing will return to the living room in the rest area to continue watching the singers' performances, and the singers who have not yet competed will stay in their rest room.

Therefore, in the living room of the rest area, only Liu Hongsheng and his executive manager are alone.

Liu Hongsheng frowned again when he heard the song "Wedding Invitation Street".

The verse of this song sounds very plain, but this kind of plain song can especially move the audience as long as it can bring the audience into the story of the song.

"True Temperament" sung by Liu Hongsheng is about the loyalty of the world. Although it is the feelings of some audiences, this song is a bit far from ordinary people.

No ordinary person would join a club and fight with a knife.

However, the changes in the old streets of the city are happening all the time around everyone.

Songs that are too far away from life can only entertain the audience.

And the songs that can really enter the hearts of the audience will always be those that are close to life and show the truth in the ordinary.

In the final analysis, what really lasts for a long time is always humanity and emotion.

However, what Liu Hongsheng has heard so far is only the main song of the song "Wedding Invitation Street". So far, this song is relatively plain. Whether it can finally impress the audience depends on the chorus.

……

on the stage.

Fang Xing continued to sing and sing, the singing became more and more beautiful, the melody was melodious, and the story progressed layer by layer.

"In fact, there is no one kind of stable happiness, and it will never be bad.

"It's like this area was once called the perfect world.

"But in the blink of an eye, the entire street is about to be filled with crows..."

All the notes converged into a beautiful melody, which firmly grasped the audience's ears.

Wait until Fang Xing sang the refrain: "Isn't the one you love a lifetime?"

Some viewers even closed their eyes and listened with ecstasy.

Solid vocal skills, this song is performed just right.

The lyricism of the chorus is melodious, free and easy, and the emotion of the expression, one point more is too much, one point less is too little.

It expresses the vicissitudes of life, but also the desire for a lifetime of love.

Fang Xing sang about his longing for the rest of his life, and also sang about his indifference to the changes in the world.

The last line of the chorus is sung:
"Forget about the home you once had, the small dining table sofa refrigerator and two cups of black tea.

"The warm environment is only loaned out, can I get it back when it's due?

"The hour will come, don't be afraid.

"Put down that key in your hand, please?"

The ending falls.

The audience at the scene woke up from the melodious songs and light emotional expressions.

Some viewers who can't understand Cantonese sighed: "Although I can't understand the lyrics, I just think this song is very good, so strange."

"There is no language barrier in the music, and I think it sounds good, and Fang Xing's sense of narrative is really great. In comparison, Liu Hongsheng's song has an aggressive feeling. "

The audience next to him immediately agreed: "Did you feel it too? I also think that Liu Hong's singing is a bit aggressive, as if he is using too much force. Most people agree that he sings well."

"When you say that, I feel the same way. Fang Xing is different. He just sings with his heart. It won't make people feel uncomfortable when the whole song stops. It's very lyrical."

There were also many audiences who could understand Cantonese, and they were full of praise:
"This song is very good, very good. It is the kind of song that must be used as a single. As for Liu Hongsheng's song, the live effect is actually very good, making people feel that he sings very well. However, the arrangement has been listened to for a long time. It will be a bit noisy."

An audience member from Yangcheng applauded and praised: "This song should be ranked in the top three among the new Cantonese songs released in the past ten years.

"I even think it's a bit wasteful to sing it on a variety show. After all, many audiences don't understand Cantonese, so they may be prejudiced against this song.

"If this song is released in the Cantonese region, it will definitely be a hit song."

Another viewer who lived in Xiangjiang turned his head and said: "Do you also think this song can kill the charts? I think so too. I feel that as long as the audience can understand Cantonese, most of them will vote for this song." .”

An audience member who came from a major in music and knew Cantonese songs commented: "This song is very strange, and the overall feeling is very pleasant. Moreover, the story told in the lyrics is not the kind of fake and empty story, but actually happened around me. , the emotions expressed also resonate. What's even more rare is that the song is not bitter and bitter, but very pleasant to listen to."

……

Singers rest room.

Shen Xiyin's Cantonese isn't particularly good, but she can understand a little, and the program team gave her a copy of the lyrics.

Therefore, she can basically understand the whole song by looking at the lyrics.

After listening to it, she sighed: "This song is so good, why are your songs always so good, it's so enviable."

She began to be interested in the link of announcing the ranking later.

Because Liu Hongsheng and Fang Xing had finished singing, the two had secretly competed for the first place for four rounds. If Fang Xing took the first place again this time, it would be fun.

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

Shen Xiyin had also heard a little about Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng's competition for Baoboli's endorsement.

So she knew that although the two of them didn't break their faces, they must have a secret contest.

Moreover, she also knew that in order to grab Baoboli's endorsement, Liu Hongsheng's company not only took the initiative to lower the price, but also promised to attend more promotional activities.

Even if these matters were directed by Liu Hongsheng's agent, Liu Hongsheng himself must have acquiesced.

Therefore, the two maintain a polite harmony on the surface, but neither of them must obey the other.

……

In another lounge.

Xie Yuwen rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

After a while, he turned his head to look at the manager behind him, and asked, "Can you invite Fang Xing to sing a song? This guy is too fierce, and every song he sings has the ability to become a classic."

The manager shook his head and smiled, and said, "You're too slow to react. Now I'm looking for Fang Xing to invite songs, and the queue can go to outer space. Songshi Records has received countless song invitations. Even Zhang Huiying only got Fang Xing The promise of the studio is that there is an opportunity to cooperate, but we haven't seen the shadow of the song yet."

Xie Yuwen realized: "Indeed, many singers are probably like me, who want to ask Fang Xing for a song. If you don't have any special friendship, it's really difficult to ask for a song."

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is that Li Caiwei who sang "Painting Heart" before? It seems that besides Fang Xing's teammates, she is the only one who has sung Fang Xing's song now."

The manager answered his doubts: "Li Caiwei is from Songshi Records, and both Li Caiwei and Fang Xing's managers are Qiao Yinghong, what do you think?"

"Near water, so cool." Xie Yuwen suddenly envied Li Caiwei a little bit.

"Don't rush to be envious. I heard that Li Caiwei offered to be Fang Xing's singing tool for free. She doesn't want a penny or share of it." The manager replied.

"I don't want his songs to be sung to me. As long as he can sing and perform a few commercial performances, he will earn back all the money." Xie Yuwen also wanted to be a singing tool without money, but the relationship was not strong enough.

The manager added: "There is one more thing you need to know, the songs that Fang Xing asks Li Caiwei to sing are all female keys, which are not suitable for Fang Xing to sing.

"Even Lu Ming's "Big Fish" is not suitable for Fang Xing to sing by himself.

"But your vocal range is not much different from Fang Xing's. He can sing any song you can sing."

Xie Yuwen patted his thigh and sighed, "You mean to say that I have no chance."

"No, but it depends on fate. You can start with friends. I think Fang Xing is a very loyal person. At least he has his teammates with him." The agent began to make moves.

"What should I do?" Xie Yuwen asked.

"This...Fang Xing is very popular now, but after all, his career has just started and he needs to accumulate in all aspects. You can see if he needs help and take the initiative." The manager continued to offer advice.

"In order to ask for a song, it's time to play the emotional card?" Xie Yuwen never thought that one day he would reach this point because of an invitation for a song.

"Anyway, think for yourself, why don't you give it a try." The manager didn't continue to persuade.

"Of course, it's just to make friends. No matter what the matter is, I like to make friends. I can make friends without asking for songs, let alone if I want to invite songs." Xie Yuwen thought very clearly, and just complained.

……

The competition goes on.

Xie Yuwen, Zhong Yuanxun, and Shen Xiyin successively performed on stage.

Xie Yuwen also sang Cantonese songs.

Zhong Yuanxun sang Korean songs.

Shen Xiyin added Mongolian and Humai to the song, and the effect was very good.

After all the singers had finished singing, the [-] hearings at the scene began to vote.

The program group immediately began to count the votes, and then notified all the singers to gather in the ranking announcement hall.

Singers sit in a row according to the order of appearance.

Liu Hongsheng is number [-] and Fang Xing is number [-].

So, unfortunately, the two of them sat next to each other again.

Zheng Tao came to everyone with the results, whetting his appetite as always, and getting worse, more and more hateful.

The audience wanted to drag him out of the TV and beat him up.

Moreover, this time, he announced the votes of other people first, and left Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng at the end.

When this happened, the singers present were already used to it.

Xie Yuwen said directly: "Continue whetting your appetite. Anyway, I already know my ranking, so if you procrastinate, I don't care."

Zheng Tao looked at Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng, and said with a smile on his face: "The situation is very interesting. It is the same as the previous episodes. The two are ranked first and second in the competition."

Liu Hongsheng's expression was already a little ugly.

In the first three competitions, he was second.

After experiencing it many times, he was also very upset.

A majestic heavenly king was forced to such a point by a newcomer in the music scene.

It's fine if he doesn't want to fight for the first place, but for four consecutive games, he has worked hard to fight for the first place.

Even, some rule power has been used.

The "Singing Voice" program team did launch a poll on Weibo, allowing the audience to vote for the theme of the competition.

However, not 100% of the topics voted first can be selected.

The program group is selected from the top three themes in the vote, which means that the program group still has a lot of choice.

As for the competition theme of the last two episodes, Liu Hongsheng has golden songs that fit the theme.

As Xie Yuwen said, the last two games were Liu Hongsheng's home games.

But the last match was his home game, he only took second place, and Fang Xing took the first place.

Now singing Cantonese songs this time is also his home game. If he takes second place again, his reputation as the second child in a thousand years will be confirmed.

Liu Hongsheng coughed and urged: "Director Zheng, hurry up and announce."

Under normal circumstances, Liu Hongsheng would not urge him loudly. Since he did urge him loudly, it meant that he was very impatient.

Zheng Tao didn't touch Liu Hongsheng's brow, and speeded up his announcement: "The No. 1 in this competition ranking won [-] votes, and the song "Wedding Invitation Street" won, congratulations to Fang Xing.

"Congratulations also to Liu Hongsheng, who won No.2 in this competition with [-] votes."

Liu Hongsheng sat in the chair, motionless, did not show any angry expression, but his face seemed to be frozen, and there was no reaction at all.

The other singers stood up and expressed their congratulations to Fang Xing: "Congratulations, you won the first place again, the four-time champion, this should be the first time "Singing" has appeared in so many seasons, right?"

Zheng Tao added: "Congratulations to Fang Xing, who became the first four-time winner of "Singing" and won the first four times in a row. I don't know if anyone can break this record."

Fang Xing politely responded to everyone's congratulations: "Thank you, thank you..."

last game.

Liu Hongsheng lost two votes, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

This time, they directly lost more than [-] votes. This gap is too big, and it is not luck that can bring it back.

In fact, after listening to Fang Xing's "Wedding Invitation Street", he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

If there is no contrast with Fang Xing's song, his "True Temperament" sang the live effect very well.

However, when "Wedding Invitation Street" came out, the songs he sang and what he expressed were too far away from ordinary people, even a little fake.

After the ranking was announced, all the singers kept talking.

Zheng Tao clapped his hands and reminded: "Did you forget one thing, we have to announce the theme of the next competition."

When they heard that the theme of the competition was going to be announced, all the singers present immediately fell silent.

Zheng Tao waited for everyone to return to their seats before officially announcing: "The theme of the next competition is... Gongshangjiao Zhengyu."

"Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu?"

Xie Yuwen's eyes widened immediately, and he asked: "Is this referring to ancient songs? Is it Xu Xinyu's home game this time?"

Zheng Tao added: "No, the theme of the competition is Gongshangjiao Zhengyu, not ancient songs. Because many ancient songs are not written according to the ancient rhythm of Gongshangjiao Zhengyu.

"Our requirement is the song, which needs to be composed according to the pentameter of 'Gongshangjiao Zhengyu'. You can understand it as an ancient style, but not all ancient style songs conform to the rules."

Xie Yuwen complained: "This is still Xu Xinyu's home game. No, it seems that Fang Xing is also very strong in this aspect."

After the competition theme was announced, the recording was all over, and the singers left the stage.
