I turned out to be top-notch!

"Isn't it a new song?"

"It's a new song."

"Or is it that Mr. Wen Chao writes lyrics and music himself?"

"Yes, that's right. Teacher Zhou is so powerful. How could he let Duke Wenzhao be so determined to write new songs for him? Even the long-term workers in the old days were not so diligent. They must be debts owed in the previous life."

"Don't talk about anything else. Where's the arrangement?"

"The arrangement was also completed by Mr. Wenzhaogong alone."

"..."

"I Am a Singer" music director He Buwei's face turned ugly after exchanging information about the program to be rehearsed today with the venue manager. Then he got up and went to the director Hong Ye: "Director Hong, I think I will come to our show , my role is a bit redundant, why don’t you fire me, don’t take too much advantage of our program team.”

Hong Ye was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a wry smile: "Lao He, I know you have a lot of resentment, but I can't help you in this regard. Why don't you go talk to Zhou Dingran in person?"

"I'm just wondering why when Zhou Dingran was in "The King of Masked Singer", the arrangement of the first song went through Lin Cheng's hands, but in our show, there is no need for an arranger?"

There was a trace of resentment hidden in He Buwei's calm words: "And it's not like I haven't talked to Zhou Dingran, but this guy didn't take my words to heart at all."

"What did he say?" Hong Ye asked curiously.

He Buwei said: "He said he knew it. He said he knew it from the first episode. Now it's the third episode. I've seen the performance score he handed over. It's so complete that there's no need for an arranger. .”

"There's nothing you can do about it, Lao He. You don't have to be too obsessed with this. Everything is for the show. Since Mr. Wenzhao is willing to help him arrange music, that's the best. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to find you again. You are our The strongest supporter of the program." Hong Ye encouraged.

But he wanted to laugh a little in his heart. The reason why he was willing to serve as the music director of the "notorious" "I Am a Singer" was because he heard that Zhou Dingran was going to compete and had the opportunity to contact Wenzhao Gong's lyrics and music and arrange them. But now that the show has been broadcast for three episodes, Zhou Dingran prepares every show by himself, and does not need any help from He Buwei in terms of arrangement. This makes He Buwei's wish come true, and his mentality is a bit explosive.

But now after listening to Hong Ye's persuasion, He Buwei felt a little comforted.

Before starting the rehearsal, Hong Ye asked inadvertently: "Lao He, what do you think of Zhou Dingran's new song?"

Why not wonder: "Zhou Dingran's new song? You mean "Qili Xiang"?"

Hong Ye laughed and said, "Of course not, I'm talking about the song that Zhou Dingran will rehearse later."

"Then I'm not sure. Works that don't require my help in arranging music are not worth my energy and attention." He Buwei said sourly.

Having said that, when it was Zhou Dingran's turn to rehearse, why not be the first to stand in front of the stage and silently listen to Zhou Dingran's rehearsal singing.

When the sound of the song flooded into my ears like a torrential flood, no matter how hard I said it, I had to admit that the song sung by Zhou Dingran's voice was really endowed with powerful vitality.

In short, it made He Buwei's eyes wet when he heard it.

Not to mention why he didn't do anything, even Hong Ye and the band teachers playing on the side of the stage couldn't help but feel sad after playing the song Zhou Dingran was going to sing tonight, and they were distracted for a few minutes.

"As expected of Master Wenzhao..."

"This song is really well written, but I think Zhou Dingran sang it better."

"I have long discovered that Zhou Dingran's singing skills are among the best, and this time he finally showed it. After this song, no one in the music world will question Zhou Dingran's singing skills."

"How can you sing such an emotional song at such a young age?"

"The song is full of nostalgia for the good times in the past. This song will definitely be another classic under Zhou Dingran's name."

"In the last episode of the show, Zhou Dingran didn't get first place. I felt so wronged. If he doesn't get first place this time, the program team will probably face the anger of fans across the country."

The staff all praised Zhou Dingran’s rehearsal singing.

Soon, at seven o'clock that night, the recording of the third episode of the eleventh season of "I Am a Singer" officially started.

In this episode, the order of appearance was selected based on the drawing of lots. When all the contestants showed humility, Zhou Dingran was the first to draw lots. By chance, he got the first place.

This moment made other contestants feel relieved. The scene faced by the first player to appear is very demanding. Not only the contestants are under great psychological pressure, but the audience's requirements for singers are often higher. No matter how awesome their singing skills are, in At concerts or music competitions, contestants who appear for the first time can hardly achieve the desired performance results.

Therefore, the opening of a concert requires a warm-up. Similarly, music competitions also need to quickly bring the audience into the mood. This challenge is quite difficult for singers, at least at the scene of "I Am a Singer". A contestant who appears often does not receive too many votes.

Although Wang Quan, Huang Boran and others felt relieved.

But Yan Lei, Tu Gang, and even Jin Shengmei and others were only happy for a moment after seeing Zhou Dingran being drawn first, and then their hearts suddenly became cold when they realized what happened.

Zhou Dingran's singing skills have been demonstrated in the first two programs. Even in the entire Chinese music world, his singing skills are almost second to none. Such a master appears in the first place, which invisibly enhances the aesthetics of the audience.

If you start too high, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the performance of latecomers.

Zhou Dingran didn't have much thoughts about this.

Whether it is the first or the last performance, it is not important to Zhou Dingran. What he needs now is a powerful exposure platform to gain the audience's favorability.

And competition is just incidental. As long as he is not eliminated, everything is within Zhou Dingran's tolerance.

He didn't try to guess what the other contestants were thinking. After picking the first place, he went directly to prepare the stage for the performance.

Soon, the recording officially started.

The host Wang Quan walked onto the stage, faced the cheers of the audience, and loudly read the slogans of the title sponsors and sponsors...

After finishing reading the ad, Wang Quan reviewed the rankings of the previous game.

After hearing that Zhou Dingran was not eliminated and even won the second place, many Zhou Dingran fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, the rumors from the outside world are not worth believing at all!"

"Damn it, I thought Zhou Dingran was eliminated!"

"Good guy, not being eliminated is almost as good as being eliminated - Zhou Dingran only got second place!"

"Zhou Dingran won eight consecutive championships in "The King of Masked Singer", but he only finished second in "I Am a Singer" after two episodes?"

"There is definitely a shady story!"

"This is a crappy show. If it weren't for Zhou Dingran, I wouldn't want to watch it for even a minute." The audience discussed the show enthusiastically and indignantly.

However, when they heard that the first singer to appear was Zhou Dingran, the audience instantly fell silent.

"Now, let me invite the first contestant of this episode to appear."

"he is the one--"

"Zhou Dingran!"

In Wang Quan’s shouts.

The stage lights dimmed, and in front of the big screen, Zhou Dingran, wearing a silver-gray suit and a white shirt, stood in front of a piano, holding a microphone and signaling the band teacher sitting in front of the piano to start playing.

When the faint piano sound came, under the enthusiastic eyes of the audience, Zhou Dingran picked up the microphone, filled his pubic area with anger, and sang a song that sounded like a gem.

"It's time for the phoenix flowers to bloom again

Thinking of an old friend I haven’t seen for a long time

Memories slowly become more vivid with feeling

The hillside dyed red, the intersection of farewell

What does youth take away and what does youth leave behind?

There is still a feeling of emotion in my heart——"

Zhou Dingran's singing, set off by the faint piano sound, completely entered people's ears.

With his perfect singing skills, everyone could clearly hear the song Zhou Dingran wanted to sing at this moment, as well as the meaning of the song.

For a moment, many viewers at the scene opened their eyes wide, feeling that in the singing, scenes of the past were floating in their minds.

Especially at the end of the song, even if the accompaniment is only monotonous piano music, when the rich emotions come in, the audience's noses will sore and they almost shed tears.

And this feeling of crying only lasted for a few seconds, and then it became a reality in an instant.

When the chorus sounded, almost everyone burst into tears.

"The river of time flows into the sea, and finally we part ways

No port is a permanent stay

In my mind, there is an intersection where phoenix flowers bloom

I have my most cherished friends..."

It was just a short piece of singing, without warm and colorful accompaniment, and no unnecessary explanation. There was only the fiery emotion coming from Zhou Dingran’s indifferent singing, and this emotion also hit all the audience at the first time. heart of.

"Shocking!! So shocking!! Oh my god, this song... really made me cry!!"

"I don't know why, but when I think about my graduation, it feels like I just separated from them yesterday. This song is really great!"

"It was June 2020, 6, when I graduated from college. The six brothers in our dormitory have been separated from each other since then. It has been three or four years now. In these three or four years, we have only been together once. The next time Goodbye, I don’t know when or where..."

"This song is going to kill me. It coincides with my birthday today. I don’t have many wishes. I just hope that Fatty, Gangzi, Ajie, Chaofan, and Taoer will be happy in a place where I can’t see them!" I am always looking forward to our next gathering, and I hope we will get better and better.”

"Haha, this song made me cry so much. When I think of the gangsters I met in college, no matter whether they are good friends, average friends or bad friends, it is difficult to erase them from my memory as long as I have come into contact with them. , Alas, this is fate! It’s impossible to thank them, so thank you for the arrangement of fate and the wonder of fate!”

"I just hope they all have a good future, and then my future is a little better than theirs."

"When I graduated from college, there was no graduation ceremony, no group graduation photos, no graduation meal away from home, no dinner with classmates after graduation. Some were just the hugs that were unwilling to let go when my roommates of four years left, and some were just dormitories. Some people laughed wildly when taking pictures of their bachelor's uniforms, some cried alone when the five people in the dormitory left and I was left alone, some just felt confused and fearful about the future life and the society, and some just thought about them and missed them. The future is bright..."

"I'm about to graduate from high school. When I hear this song, I want to cry!"

"When I graduated from high school, I was not so sad because I knew that I would be able to study and meet my close friends. Now that I have graduated from undergraduate degree, I am studying for graduate school and working. We are from all over the world. , maybe we won’t see each other again…”

While countless audiences were in tears, the singing did not stop. At this moment, it was like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, hitting their hearts one after another.

"Maybe there aren't many things worth remembering

At least this memory is deep enough

Do you feel the same way from afar?

The ups and downs of growing up, the moments of sharing

When I sing the song you wrote again

It’s like going back to that time again——”

The staff of the live program team, including director Hong Ye and others, even if they heard the song again, the emotion contained in the song still made their noses sore and almost shed tears.

When the singers waiting to appear in the backstage lounge heard Zhou Dingran's singing on the TV broadcast, almost all of them were shocked and speechless.

Yan Lei, as a big name in the industry and a top singer in the music industry, when he heard the song "The Intersection Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom", scenes from the past kept flashing through his mind, but he soon came back to his senses. From his singing skills and Analyze Zhou Dingran’s performance in terms of songwriting and songwriting.

First of all, in terms of singing skills, Zhou Dingran's singing is already impeccable in Yan Lei's opinion.

But he also discovered the flaw of this song, that is, there is a lack of detailed description, both in terms of lyrics and composition.

Although Zhou Dingran's emotions were very direct when singing, he still could not hide the thin overall performance.

Although this kind of simple emotional catharsis can arouse strong resonance, it may also cause the audience to lose the motivation to think deeply about the story behind the song.

"If specific details or descriptions of events about youth can be added to the lyrics in the second part, the content of the song will be richer and more three-dimensional, and it will also be able to support the subsequent lyricism..."

Yan Lei sat in front of the sofa, tapping his knees with his fingers, his eyes a little confused: "It's strange, the lyrics and music are all composed by Wen Chao Gong. He can obviously write such colorful works as "I Remember", but in this song "The Crossing of Phoenix Flowers Blooming" 》, such content is missing..."

Although Yan Lei had some criticisms about the song, his evaluation of the song was still flawless. Especially with Zhou Dingran's singing, Yan Lei did not feel that this song would be buried at all, and when the chorus continued to come At this time, the outpouring of emotion almost made the hairs on Yan Lei's body stand up——

"The river of time flows into the sea, and finally we part ways

no port stays forever

In my mind, there is an intersection where phoenix flowers bloom

I have the most cherished friend..." (End of Chapter)
