Chapter 158 "Confession Balloon" Advances to the Finals

The next competing singer walked to the center of the stage against the light.

Just as the audience guessed, Fang Xing was the third singer to appear in the competition.

He Hao's question before starting the competition: "Fang Xing, before starting the competition, I want to say one thing.

"A few days ago, two friends who came to the show to accompany you said that they wanted to watch the show live, and asked me to intercede with the director.

"Tonight, they came to the scene to watch your game.

"Will you suddenly feel nervous when a friend comes suddenly?"

With a surprised expression on Fang Xing's face, he glanced down the stage, and soon saw Lu Xianger and Ning Xiaoyun in the auditorium reserved by the program group.

Ning Xiaoyun waved her hands excitedly.

While waving her hand, Lu Xianger raised her thumb and shouted, "Come on!"

When the cameraman turned the camera to them, Lu Xianger quickly covered her face with her hands.

Ning Xiaoyun showed a big smile and waved hello to the camera.

Fang Xing was a little surprised, he didn't expect them to appear on the scene.

This situation was not what was expected at the beginning.

However, it was good that Lu Xianger appeared on the scene.

He Hao continued to ask: "Have you seen these two friends?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I see."

He Hao asked: "Some singer friends I know, some of them will be more nervous when they sing in front of relatives and friends. How do you feel now?"

"It's okay." Fang Xing replied the same.

"Tonight's competition theme is 'love', the taste of love, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, mixed flavors, so which flavor will you sing tonight?" He Hao began to bring the topic to the song.

"That should be sweet." Fang Xing looked at Lu Xiang'er in the audience, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Is it sweeter than "Across the Ocean to See You"?" He Hao cueed Li Caiwei's song again.

"Actually, "Across the Ocean to See You" isn't very sweet, it's just the feeling of loving someone. Someone who is not loved tastes sour." Fang Xing replied.

"So is the song you're going to sing tonight a story of one person or two?" He Hao continued to delve into this topic.

"You'll know after listening to the song." Fang Xing didn't answer directly.

"It still whets our appetite. If that's the case, then tell the audience, what's the name of the song you're going to sing tonight?" He Hao asked the last question.

Fang Xing slowly said the name of the song: ""Confession Balloon"."

"Confession Balloon" is a song sung by Jay Chou. Vincent Fang wrote the lyrics, Jay Chou composed the music, and Michael Lam arranged the music.

This song won Billboard Radio China's 2016 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, as well as the Best Song of the Year Award at the 28th Golden Melody Awards.

"Then let's listen to the song "Confession Balloon". The stage is handed over to Fang Xing." He Hao finished speaking in an excited tone, and the lights on the stage dimmed.

The spotlight shone on Fang Xing, causing the entire studio to focus on him.

Lu Xianger clasped her fingers a little nervously, resting her chin, just staring at the person on the stage.

When she heard the title of the song "Confession Balloon", her heart started beating wildly.

Various thoughts arose in her mind: What does this song mean?Was it sung to me?Or sing it to someone else?

She was even worried that there were other "people" at the scene, so she couldn't help but look around.

If this song was sung to someone else, then she would really like to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Ning Xiaoyun was already excitedly waving her hands, but found that Lu Xianger next to her was fidgeting nervously.

"What's the matter with you? Can't you understand the title of this song? Why didn't you respond at all?"

"What if this song wasn't sung for me? What if it was sung for other people at the scene, I... I..." Lu Xianger became more and more worried the more she thought about it.

She felt that if such a bad situation were really the case, it would definitely be the scene of a large-scale social death.

"Impossible, it must be sung for you. How can there be anyone else?" Ning Xiaoyun insisted on this idea.

"However, he didn't know about our coming to the scene. How could it be sung for me?" The more Lu Xianger thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

The two of them came to watch the show live and hadn't communicated with Fang Xing beforehand, so it was impossible to sing this song to her live.

"You think too much. You are really a fan of the authorities. Don't worry about it so much, listen to the song carefully first, and after the recording of the program, things will naturally become clear." Ning Xiaoyun grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand, raised it and began to swing along with the prelude.

The beautiful melody of "Confession Balloon" floated out, and the brisk notes danced in the studio hall.

Fang Xing raised the microphone and began to sing:
"Coffee on the Seine, on the Left Bank.

"I have a glass in my hand, taste your beauty, the mouth that left a lip print.

"Florist Rose, whose name is wrong.

"Confession balloon, the wind blows across the street.

"Smile, fly in the sky..."

The sweet melody, accompanied by cheerful lyrics, spread to the ears of the audience.

The audience at the scene immediately relaxed when they heard the sweet singing.

Originally, some viewers at the scene had just finished listening to "Prose Poems Written by Father" on TV last night, and they were worried that Fang Xing would throw another tear gas bomb.

Since he already had a stress response, when Fang Xing stood on the stage.

The audience at the scene were all ready to bear the tear gas attack.

However, as soon as Fang Xing sang, the audience at the scene suddenly felt enlightened.

The sweetness rises linearly with the blend of melody and lyrics.

The brisk melody also made the audience wave their hands along with the notes.

on the stage.

Fang Xing glanced at the nervous girl in the audience, looked away, and continued singing:
"You said you were a bit difficult to chase, and you wanted me to retreat.

"You don't need to choose the most expensive gift, just the fallen leaves of the Champs Elysees.

"Create a romantic date and not be afraid to screw things up.

"Own you, own the world..."

Lu Xiang'er in the audience, listening to the singing, slowly put aside the wild thoughts in her heart.

She made a decision in her heart, and after the show was finished recording, she said she was going out to play with Ning Xiaoyun, and came to watch the show live by the way.

If this song is sung for others, then the society will not die.

Anyway, it’s all here, just listen to the song carefully first.

After she figured it out, her mood began to improve. Although she was still a little nervous, she could already feel the sweetness in the song.

The smile on her face is like winter snow melting in the palm of her hand, making people want to hold it in her palm.

The audience at the scene was a little confused: "Is it really a song that is sweet from the beginning to the end? There will be no fraud, right? Don't make any reversals."

The audience next to him analyzed: "Probably not. It's not that Fang Xing has never sung sweet love songs. Don't forget "Qilixiang"."

The emotions of the audience floated in the sweet melody, and gradually came to the last chorus.

Fang Xing upped the melody and continued singing:

"Honey, falling in love with you, love diary.

"Memories of Perfume.

"A whole bottle of dreams, all of you.

"Stir together.

"My dear, don't be self-willed, your eyes.

"I'm saying I do."

After the whole song was sung, the last note fell.

The audience at the scene was very happy to hear it. Compared with other bitter love songs, this "Confession Balloon" is particularly refreshing.

After the song ended, the audience began to applaud enthusiastically.

He Hao returned to the stage, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "This song, why do I listen to it, it sounds like a confession?"

"It was originally called "Confession Balloon"." Fang Xing replied with a smile.

"That's an ingenious answer."

He Hao showed a see-through smile, and then began to say interludes: "Next, it's the turn of the next singer to appear on the stage, please ask Fang Xing to go back to the rest area to rest..."

The songs that the following singers sang were basically bitter love songs.

There are indeed a lot of bitter love songs in pop music.

Sometimes, it is indeed a bitter love song, which can be sung to the hearts of the audience.

It's just that tonight's situation is a bit special.

Li Caiwei first used the song "Across the Ocean to See You", which portrayed the appearance of loving someone too clearly.

It seems to let the audience see what a person who loves himself should look like.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xing used the song "Confession Balloon" to tell the audience how to respond to the person they like.

Only "Across the Ocean to See You", this song is actually not very sweet, it is just an expression of one person, and it may not necessarily get a response.

After adding "Confession Balloon", the stories are superimposed, explaining what love is, which fits the theme of tonight.

And clearly tell the audience.

Love is not a matter of one person, but of two people.

When you like someone, even the light in your eyes is talking.

therefore.

After "Across the Ocean to See You" and "Confession Balloon" were finished, the singers behind them sang bitter love songs again, which made the audience feel very uncomfortable.

The front is so sweet, but the song behind it pulls the audience from the sweetness to the bitter sea of ​​love.

The audience didn't buy it. After the singers finished singing, the applause was sparse and not enthusiastic.

There were even some audience members who really wanted Fang Xing to come back and sing "Confession Balloon" again.

Such a happy night, who wants to listen to bitter love songs.

After all the singers have finished singing.

The program group arranged for on-site hearings to start voting, while the singer went to the ranking hall to wait for the final result.

After the counting of votes is over.

Zheng Tao came to announce the results.

This time the competition is fierce, but it is also fierce, and it is not fierce, but not very fierce.

Because, tonight, singers will not be eliminated, but there will be a singer with the best performance in the whole season, who will advance to the finals "Battle of the King of Songs" in advance.

Unfortunately, Fang Xing sang all the way, and he was basically number one.

So in the eighth round, even if you take the last place, there is a high probability that you will be the first to advance.

Before announcing the results, Zheng Tao asked questions as usual: "Fang Xing, who do you think will be the first tonight?"

Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "Actually, I didn't come to be the first to sing "Confession Balloon" tonight, I just wanted to sing this song, so whoever is the first, I think it's fine. If you have to If you choose a song, I think "Across the Ocean to See You" has a higher chance."

"Then let us congratulate... Li Caiwei, "Across the Ocean to See You" got the most votes tonight, ranking first. Congratulations!" Zheng Tao directly announced the results.

It may be due to the popularity of the show, and "Across the Ocean to See You" will also vote for Fang Xing in part of the hearing.

In the end, Fang Xing got No.2.

However, the third place this time is not Liu Hongsheng, but South Korean singer Zhong Yuanxun.

This time, Zhong Yuanxun chose a classic English song with a high-pitched refrain, which was very shocking and successfully defeated Liu Hongsheng.

When Liu Hongsheng heard the result, his expression became stiff.

After announcing tonight's ranking, Zheng Tao continued to announce the results of the finals promotion:
"During the recording of the last episode, the promotion rules for the finals 'Battle of the King of Songs' have already been explained.

"Therefore, tonight will decide the first singer to qualify for the 'Battle of the Kings of Songs'.

"The candidates for promotion will be determined by the total number of votes for the whole season.

"And this season, from the first episode to tonight's eighth episode, the eighth episode, the singer with the highest number of votes is..."

Shen Xiyin and Xie Yuwen complained in unison: "Director Zheng, even if we are fools and use our toes to guess, we will know who it is, so there is no need to whet our appetite, right?"

Zheng Tao said with a chuckle: "You know, the audience may not know."

Shen Xiyin rolled her eyes and drew a horizontal line in front of her with her finger: "Did you see that? This is the audience's barrage, and they all said they knew it."

Zheng Tao was not embarrassed at all, and continued: "Then let us announce the first singer to advance to the 'Battle of the Kings of Songs', and he is...Fang Xing.

"Congratulations, see you on the stage of our finals, thank you for your contribution to the show, and brought us eight nice songs."

While he was speaking, he took the initiative to go forward and shake hands with Fang Xing.

"Thank you, thank you..." Fang Xing hurriedly returned the gift.

After thanking him, Fang Xing pointed to the door and asked, "Then can I go?"

Zheng Tao shook his head and smiled, "Why are you in such a hurry, at least finish recording this part?"

"No more, I just feel that there is nothing for me in the future, and I will be a mascot when I sit here." Fang Xinghan said with a smile.

Zheng Tao went on to say: "Next, it's time for everyone to worry about the most. That's right, what will be announced next is the competition theme for the next issue. Are you nervous?"

The singers present were very nervous.

Because in the next issue, there will be a second singer who will advance to the "Battle of the Kings of Songs".

Originally, Liu Hongsheng had the greatest hope, but Zhong Yuanxun's sudden emergence tonight made the situation confusing.

Moreover, although Zhong Yuanxun hadn't reached the top of the ranking before, his ranking was not low, so the gap between the total number of votes and Liu Hongsheng was not that big.

Besides.

With the votes of Xie Yuwen and Xu Xinyu, there is also hope to compete for the promotion spot.

Besides, even if the ninth round fails to advance, there is still a chance for the tenth round.

In other words, every next issue is very important, as long as they can overtake the previous singers in terms of votes, there is hope to advance to the "Battle of Kings of Songs".

Zheng Tao continued: "Before announcing the theme of the next competition, let's announce the current overall ranking.

"The value of the total number of votes will not be announced tonight, only the ranking of the total number of votes will be announced.

"The order of total votes is Liu Hongsheng, Zhong Yuanxun, Xie Yuwen, Xu Xinyu, Li Caiwei...

"The total number of votes for Caiwei is slightly lower, after all, she came in as a replacement.

"However, the gap between the first four singers is not too big, and they all hope to compete for the next two to advance to the 'Battle of the King of Songs'.

"So, everyone, come on."

Xie Yuwen was originally ranked No.3 in total votes, but was overtaken by Zhong Yuanxun tonight. The situation is a bit dangerous.

He urged: "Director Zheng, quickly announce the theme of the competition."

Zheng Tao glanced at the card in his hand and said, "The theme of the next competition is...dreams."

Hearing this theme, the singers present couldn't help but sigh.

For the dream theme, there are many songs to choose from, but they are also not easy to sing.

After announcing the theme of the next competition, Zheng Tao bowed and thanked: "Thank you, tonight's recording has ended. There will be a section of preparation later. After the preparation is over, everyone can disband."

……

The singers returned to their respective rest rooms, followed by the filming director and began to prepare for recording.

"Zhong Yuanxun, how does it feel to win No.3 tonight?" The director began to ask Zhong Yuanxun.

The translator translated this question into Korean and told Zhong Yuanxun.

Zhong Yuanxun answered in Korean, and then translated into Chinese by an interpreter: "I feel very good, because it is the first time to participate in Xiangjiang Satellite TV's "Song", I am not familiar with the taste of your audience.

"So in the first few episodes, if you didn't find a way to get a high score, the ranking will get higher and higher later on."

The director continued to ask: "So that's the case, then what is the way you found to get a high score?"

Zhong Yuanxun replied: "That is the treble. I found that your audience likes to listen to the treble. The higher the sound, the more shocking it is."

The director thought for a while, and said, "But Fang Xing sang songs that weren't so high-pitched in a few episodes."

Zhong Yuanxun smiled and replied: "He is a special case. The songs he sang are of high quality. Moreover, in the first issue of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", he also won the first place with his treble.

"Besides Fang Xing, the situation of the others is even more obvious. Li Caiwei's "Dawn" and Liu Hongsheng's "Wu Tong Night Rain", the higher the pitch, the higher the ranking.

"I didn't find this pattern in the previous issues, so I missed a lot.

"However, starting from the next issue, the first one will be mine."

The director continued to ask: "Then, besides Fang Xing, who do you think is your biggest competitor among the remaining singers?"

Zhong Yuanxun shook his head and replied, "There is no opponent."

The director continued to ask: "Are both Liu Hongsheng and Li Caiwei okay?"

Zhong Yuanxun shook his finger and replied: "They can sing well, but in terms of singing skills, they are not my opponents."

When the director heard this answer, his eyes lit up.

If this episode is broadcast, the variety show will definitely be full.

"It turns out that Mr. Zhong is so confident, let us wait and see, and wait to see the performance of the next episode." The director finished the last sentence, ending tonight's preparations.
