I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 234 "In a Foreign Country"

Zhu Yiwen knew the true identity of Wenzhao Gong, so after receiving the invitation letter, he immediately transferred the call to Zhou Dingran.

However, he also noticed that Zhou Dingran didn't seem to want to expose his identity, so he took the initiative to remind him: "You'd better not refuse to go, because since the organizer of the Golden Melody Awards has sent you an invitation letter, it means that you have a high probability of winning one. Golden Melody Award, and if you refuse the Golden Melody Award, this award may blackmail you for life. If you really don’t want to show up, you can find someone to accept the award on your behalf.”

Receive the award instead?

Zhou Dingran nodded. He also thought this was a good idea, so he agreed.

As for who to accept the award, Zhou Dingran didn’t have a good candidate.

The last time his father, Zhou Jixian, signed a contract on his behalf and took the initiative to expose himself in front of the executives of Fanghua Entertainment, that time he had almost exposed the identity of the copycat.

The Golden Melody Award has attracted much attention in the Chinese music world. Of course, Zhou Dingran can no longer let people around him accept the award.

After much thought, he finally gave this opportunity to Fanghua Entertainment, and asked Fanghua Entertainment to send a candidate to accept the award on behalf of Mr. Wen Chao.

Before that, Zhou Dingran is about to start preparing the stage for the New Year's Eve concert.

Now is the time for the release of his new album. On any performance stage, as long as there is an opportunity, Zhou Dingran will definitely promote the new album, so Zhou Dingran is also very careful when choosing the four songs to perform at the New Year's Eve party.

Of course, the highly anticipated and anticipated "Blue and White Porcelain" is a must-sing.

"He Must Love You Really" and "Legend" are also being considered, as these two songs are limited-time free tracks featured on the new album.

The first three songs are all free tracks.

As for the fourth song, Zhou Dingran does not plan to sing the paid songs in the album, because the Live copyright will be fully owned by Zhejiang Satellite TV. Although Zhou Dingran can also share part of the income as a singer and creator, it is easy to Spread out the paying audience for the paid songs on the album.

For the same song, others are listening to the free concert version, and there is little desire to listen to the paid version.

So after communicating with the organizer, Zhou Dingran decided to sing an unpublished song.

Soon, New Year’s Eve came.

Zhou Dingran’s team arrived in Qiantang by high-speed rail.

Because the itinerary was announced in advance, the entire entrance and exit of the high-speed rail station was filled with dense crowds of people picking up the plane.

When Zhou Dingran and others walked out of the passage, countless fans were cheering and screaming with support signs. High-speed rail security personnel also quickly dispatched to completely clear the entrance and exit passages, but on both sides of the passage, there were almost three floors inside and outside. There are three floors, all wrapped tightly by fans.

Any passenger who walked out of the entrance was treated like a star at this moment. It was not until they saw the situation outside that these passengers realized that there was a big star among the people riding the same high-speed train with them.

The appearance of Zhou Dingran and others, while being welcomed by hundreds of fans, was also disgusted by passers-by. However, when they saw that the person walking in the passage was Zhou Dingran, some passers-by had expressions on their faces. obvious changes.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? It's not too crowded with so many people standing together. Is the person coming out your father or your mother... ah? Is it Zhou Dingran? That's okay!"

From boredom to surprise, just in the blink of an eye, some passers-by even abandoned their reserve and excitedly raised their mobile phones to take crazy pictures of Zhou Dingran.

Zhou Dingran walked out of the passage in a simple black velvet jacket and gray trousers.

He smiled and waved to the cheering and screaming fans around him. Then, accompanied by Wang He, Liu Ruyan and more than a dozen security personnel, he walked out of the passage and got into the car sent by Zhejiang TV. In a business nanny car.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage that Zhou Dingran breathed a sigh of relief. The hands of Wang He, Liu Ruyan and others were also filled with envelopes and gifts from fans.

These items will be handed over to Zhou Dingran after being opened and verified to be safe.

"Your popularity now has increased visibly."

Liu Ruyan handed the tablet in his hand to Zhou Dingran: "Look around the high-speed rail station. It has been jammed for two hours because of your appearance."

Zhou Dingran saw the media reports and felt helpless.

In most cases, he will not take the initiative to disclose his schedule, but Zhejiang TV's New Year's Eve party has announced the guest list in advance. Anyone who is not stupid knows that Zhou Dingran will arrive in Qiantang City in these two days.

Zhou Dingran has always declined to fly. Fans also know that Zhou Dingran is used to taking the high-speed rail, so as long as he sees the itinerary, a large number of fans will gather together at the same time, especially today is New Year's Eve, and many people buy it. Fans who have purchased concert tickets naturally want to celebrate the New Year with their idols on this day.

Therefore, the current traffic jam is not what Zhou Dingran wants.

Qiantang International Stadium.

When Zhou Dingran arrived here, the entire square outside the stadium was already densely packed with people. These were fans who came from other places to attend the New Year's Eve concert. They all bought tickets, and many people were waiting here in advance.

After Zhou Dingran drove in through the back door, he immediately began to participate in the rehearsal with the stars.

He also saw Wei Xiao at the scene, so he took the initiative to talk: "Teacher Wei."

Wei Xiao was communicating with music director Lin Cheng about the performance tonight. When he heard the voice, he turned around and saw it was Zhou Dingran. He smiled immediately: "Dingran is here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I was talking to Director Lin just now. Talking about you."

Lin Cheng also smiled and said: "Teacher Wei praised you so much. He said that he felt that you were different from the time of "National Idol"."

Zhou Dingran's original smile suddenly froze.

He knew that Wei Xiao had left the meeting angrily because of the so-called "shady" issue between contestants Zhou Dingran and Shi Yucheng.

At that time, Wei Xiao insisted that Shi Yucheng should not be eliminated.

But now, a two-level reversal!

Wei Xiao was also speechless. You surnamed Lin really don't like to pick up the pot. I just had nothing to talk to you about. Why did you turn around and sell me out?

He coughed and smiled: "Dingran was very popular at that time, which shows that many viewers can see that. Now Dingran has used his own strength to give positive feedback to all those who slandered him at the beginning, telling them that it is Gold will always shine. If you can't see the light of gold, you must be blind."

When Wei Xiao said these words, he was also directly mocking himself for being blind.

This was a veiled apology to Zhou Dingran.

Zhou Dingran's face brightened slightly, he smiled and chatted with the two of them for a few words, then turned around and left, starting to prepare for the rehearsal of his performance.

On the stage, when Zhou Dingran tried out the new song he was going to perform tonight over and over again, all the staff stopped their work to listen to Zhou Dingran's singing.

Some of the singers who participated in the performance also stood there and listened in stunned silence.

"Hiss, Zhou Dingran has made great progress this week."

Lin Cheng took a deep breath when he heard Zhou Dingran's live performance ability.

Zhou Dingran's master-level singing skills could win eight crowns in the past, but now his perfect singing skills are naturally even better.

This is why Lin Cheng was amazed, "It's really amazing. If he could sing as effortlessly as he does today, there would be no real rivals in "The King of Masked Singer". I even think he can eliminate any rivals."

Keep the opponent clean and prevent the opponent from getting a ticket.

This is also very possible.

Because Zhou Dingran's current live singing ability is really amazing.

At this moment, not only Wei Xiao, but also Yan Lei, Pang Jun, Zhou Ye and others standing further away were all fascinated by the words.

"Is this the singing skill that a young man like Zhou Dingran should have?"

Yan Lei was somewhat doubtful about life. Although he interacted with Wenzhao Gong and sang the song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", he actually had no interaction with Zhou Dingran at all and had never met. Now he heard it for the first time Zhou Dingran's live performance instantly made people doubtful about life.

What were you doing when you were in your teens or 20s?

This Zhou Dingran, who is less than twenty years old, actually has such perfect singing skills?

Whether it was the processing of breath, vibrato, tail tone, or the resonance between the head cavity and chest cavity, he was amazed.

Even Yan Lei has to admit that he has been a singer and sung all his life, and his achievements are not even as good as those of a nineteen-year-old boy!

"monster!"

"evildoer!"

Yan Lei, Zhou Ye and others all complained silently, and then felt a little powerless.

"Today's music scene is really dominated by young people. Wei Xiao won't say much. It's completely made of real gold and fire. But this Zhou Dingran is too terrifying. Such singing skills don't seem to come from his mouth at all. “This is just a rehearsal, I thought I was listening to a CD player just now!”

"The waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and you can't do it if you don't accept it."

……

In the evening, spectators were already taking their seats in the 26,000-person Qiantang International Stadium.

At a glance, it was all dark and filled with human heads.

Many people are in the center of the stadium, and even in the depths of winter, they can feel the heat coming from all around.

That was the enthusiasm of the audience.

At this moment, the photographers and host team of Zhejiang TV are also in place.

Director Zuo Qiuliang went to the battle in person, checked all the equipment, and inquired about the preparation status of the backstage. At the moment of eight o'clock, accompanied by the flashing numbers on the big screen and the countdown shouts from the audience, this New Year's Eve party , the national live broadcast started on time.

The first thing that came on stage was a song and dance program. This was a team of champion contestants from the most popular hip-hop show in the first half of this year. Their warm-up performance gave the audience a surge of adrenaline, and there were endless shouts and screams.

One of the contestants flipped his body 360 degrees in the air, and then performed a moonwalk after landing, which made everyone dumbfounded.

Even Zhou Dingran, who was watching the live broadcast backstage, was stunned for a moment.

Because the moonwalk is recognized as Zhou Dingran's "patented" dance step, and the operation of this moonwalk is completely like a tribute to Zhou Dingran at this moment, which made the fans and audience at the scene excited and cheered.

Then came the dance show of Zhejiang Satellite TV. When a string of fireworks shot into the sky, it completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

All the audience were shaking their heads and waving light sticks in their hands. Even if the singers had not performed yet, they were still shouting crazily for their idols.

The atmosphere was high and exciting.

Soon, when the performance ended, six hosts from Zhejiang TV appeared on stage to send New Year blessings to the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

"Dear viewers at the venue and in front of the TV, good evening!"

"This is the 2024 Zhejiang TV New Year's Eve Party exclusively broadcast by Douyin..."

After the hosts' blessings, Zhou Ye, the second five-star singer to appear, also officially performed.

Followed by Yan Lei, Wei Xiao and others.

Every singer's appearance made the audience excited.

As the finale contestant, Zhou Dingran finally made his much-anticipated appearance in the second half of the New Year's Eve party.

With this appearance, it directly landed at the top of Douyin and Weibo's hot search lists.

The five words "Zhou Dingran appears" have become the most discussed keywords on the entire Internet.

You know, Zhou Dingran has just released a new album recently. Not only the songs in the new album have quickly become popular all over the country, but almost the entire album can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people, whether it is "Legend" or "He Must Love You Very Much", or "Bridge of Tears", "Norwegian Wood", etc. have all been sung by word of mouth in the past week.

Songs from Zhou Dingran's new album have almost become standard on campus radio broadcasts in primary and secondary schools across the country.

Although the album does not contain a Chinese-style song that many people are looking forward to, in addition to the album, Zhou Dingran also released a Chinese-style song "Blue and White Porcelain" for free, which was welcomed by all ages across the country.

If the album "Legend" can sink into the market and gain more fans.

Then songs like "Blue and White Porcelain" can elevate Zhou Dingran to a higher level, making listening to Zhou Dingran's songs become a kind of weathervane.

Therefore, when Zhou Dingran appeared on the stage, the discussion of Zhejiang Satellite TV's New Year's Eve Party almost instantly overwhelmed other satellite TV programs.

The gap is not generally large.

This made some New Year's Eve party directors of Xiangnan TV, Donghai TV and Jiangnan TV hate it with itch.

Especially on Jiangnan Satellite TV, there is almost no discussion.

But it is worth mentioning that Donghai Satellite TV also attracted much attention because it invited the Miracle Boys. Even after the performance, the host asked the members very stupidly, Zhou Dingran or Huang Boran, as members, who made them more Like, feel more comfortable, etc.

This question was obviously thrown out deliberately. The entire Miracle Boys members were completely unexpected. They hesitated and couldn't respond at all. Huang Boran took the initiative to reply, and the reply was quite bold. He said: "The current thing is the best."

And this sentence directly put the three keywords of Miracle Boys, host and Huang Boran into the top ten of the hot search list.

Of course, it’s not just Donghai TV that is being clever.

At Xiangnan Satellite TV, after Hong Shaorong performed, the host also asked Hong Shaorong about her thoughts on cooperating with Zhou Dingran in filming the program, etc.

You know, this is a TV series broadcast on "Friendly Channel", but in order to gain popularity, the host couldn't wait to ask Hong Shaorong some relevant details.

Although Hong Shaorong declined, she was still included in the hot search.

In a word, at this stage, whoever has a relationship with Zhou Dingran will quickly become a hot search topic.

As for Zhejiang Satellite TV, the cheers and screams from the audience have not stopped since Zhou Dingran came on stage.

Zhou Dingran also complied with the audience's wishes and sang the much-anticipated song "Blue and White Porcelain" as soon as he appeared on the stage.

News that this song will be on the Spring Festival Gala has also spread in the market, so many people have locked in the Zhejiang TV New Year's Eve Party today to enjoy the program that will be on the Spring Festival Gala in advance.

Of course, Zhejiang Satellite TV's ratings are completely incomparable with the Spring Festival Gala, and they are not on the same level.

So even though Zhou Dingran sang on Zhejiang Satellite TV, more than 80% of the audience watching the Spring Festival Gala probably saw Zhou Dingran's live performance for the first time.

Zhou Dingran's live performance also shocked countless audiences.

Someone even posted a soul torture question on Weibo: "Is Zhou Dingran really singing?"

After this discussion topic was posted, it reached the top of the hot search list almost within a few minutes.

It also made the ratings of Zhejiang Satellite TV’s New Year’s Eve Party soar.

After singing "Blue and White Porcelain", Zhou Dingran continued to sing "Legend" and "He Must Love You Very Much", the two main songs of the new album, while countless people were stunned, and he smiled and recommended his new song to all the audience. album.

With the rapid increase in ratings, Zhou Dingran said on the stage: "The fourth song is next."

"This song is not a song in my new album and has never been released. It is also a work written and composed by Mr. Wenzhao Gong himself, and ultimately arranged by me."

"At this moment, I think it means a lot to sing it today, on this stage."

"This song is called "In a Foreign Country" and is dedicated to everyone's friends who are in a foreign country."

As Zhou Dingran said this, he took the guitar from the assistant in the audience and put the equipment on him.

When everything was ready, Zhou Dingran raised his hand, pinched the piano posts, and strummed the chords. Soon, accompanied by the percussion ensemble of the band behind him, another new song by Zhou Dingran that no one had heard of was officially unveiled.

"How I want to go back to my hometown, to be by her side again, to see her gentleness and kindness, to soothe my heartache

Just let me return to my hometown, come back to her side, and let her gentleness and kindness soothe my heartache..."

A climactic chorus was sung as a prelude, which immediately attracted the attention of all the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.

And the singing that followed made many fans in other places be stunned and shed tears.

"That year when you set foot on a foreign land at dusk, you thought your ideals were there

You look at the strange eyes around you and wake up in the morning but no one is around..."
