  Chapter 75 A show with endless surprises

  In the early morning of January 1st of the following year, the data of the December season rankings was blocked, and "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" won the championship. However, this matter has long been a foregone conclusion, and it has been widely discussed before, so it has not become the biggest topic.

  The biggest topic at the moment is the Spring Festival Gala.

   During the Spring Festival, there is no topic that can compare with this thing in traffic popularity.

  The song king will sing after singing, and there will be regular sketches, crosstalk, song and dance performances and so on.

  The works sung by the song kings and song queens are all written by Qu Dae, which means that when these songs appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, the music sources also appeared on major broadcast platforms, and then the competition for the January season list officially started.

  Or... the battle of the gods has begun.

  Lin Zhibai doesn’t care how many gods are fighting in the season standings in January. Sooner or later, he himself will be one of the gods. Now he just wants to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his family.

  The Spring Festival Gala in this world is similar to that of the Celestial Dynasty. The family chats while watching the show, and knocks melon seeds and peanuts by the way, which is very atmospheric, but it is inevitable that the ground is full of melon seeds and peanut shells.

  Of course Dad is back too.

Recently, my father rarely came home from filming in other places. When the family was watching the Spring Festival Gala and chatting, he suddenly mentioned Feng Shuo to Lin Zhibai, "Your classmate is very talented. I asked him to work as an assistant for the photographer. Very good job .”

  Feng Shuo has been recommended by Lin Zhibai to join the film crew.

  Feng Shuo also received New Year greetings on his mobile phone, of course not only Feng Shuo, but also Jiangcheng Zhang Xiyang, Lin Shouzhuo, Yin Dongnuan and others also paid New Year greetings.

  Lin Zhibai replied to these people while chatting with his family. He felt that he had more and more friends, and the Spring Festival was not so lively in previous years.

   Hilarious until the third.

  Dad returned to the crew to continue filming, and Lin Shengtian also started working. Today is the official recording day of the first episode of "I Am a Singer".

  Lin Zhibai was sitting in the auditorium.

  There are about 500 spectators at the scene, and these 500 people are the so-called public jury, who are going to vote for the singers, of course after listening to the songs.

   There are audiences of all ages at the scene.

  Young, Mesozoic, and even some older people, many people came together, and they were discussing in whispers before the show started.

   "Which singers are there?"

   "I don't know."

   "It's not in the trailer."

   "The copywriting of the trailer is very hot, I was attracted by that program."

   "The Shinhwa program can still be expected."

   "That being said, Shinhwa also has some bad shows."

   "Who is the host?"

   "I don't know, is this one? It looks a little strange, it doesn't look like a host."

In conversation.

A man wearing glasses suddenly walked to the stage, holding a microphone and said: "Welcome everyone to our program recording site. I am the program producer and director Lin Shengtian. The first performance of "I Am a Singer" is about to begin. Twenty seconds countdown."

  The audience froze.

   This program group still has its own personality, why is it about to start with a few words from the director?

  What about the judges?

  What about the host?

  Who will interact?

  Lin Zhibai inexplicably felt a bit sad. The scheduled host ran away, but his brother, one of the producers and directors, actually came on stage to open the show himself.

Sudden.

  The lights are dimmed.

  Everyone put aside other questions in an instant, only curious about the identity of the first singer to appear today.

   Shua!

  The lights are turned on.

  There is a figure of a singer, through the oval door behind the scenes, and walks towards the center of the stage along the light strips all the way under his feet.

"ah!"

   "Zhang Xiyang!"

   "It turned out to be him!"

"How could it be him?"

   "Didn't Zhang Xiyang claim to never participate in any variety shows?"

"Wow!"

   "I was surprised!"

   "Zhang Xiyang's scene is very scary!"

   "What song can he sing?"

Everyone was a little unsure about whether there are any big stars in this show. If they are all unknown singers, it would be meaningless to come, but when Zhang Xiyang appeared on the stage, everyone became excited. Even passers-by are very popular, no wonder when Lin Shengtian wanted to host this show, the first singer he wanted to invite was Zhang Xiyang—

  Singing skills? enough!

  Popularity? have!

  If you don’t come to Song Wang Ge, then Zhang Xiyang is the best candidate to participate in this show. Even if other singers don’t perform well, he can at least cover the bottom line.

   At this time.

  The melody comes in.

  The audience froze for a moment after hearing the melody. This is a song with a very familiar prelude.

   "Fuck!"

   "It's "Years"!"

   "This is Zhou Hanjin's masterpiece, it's too difficult to sing, and most people don't dare to cover it!"

   "Zhang Xiyang bull!"

   "Really dare!"

   "The first episode of the show directly sang Zhou Hanjin's masterpiece of the gods, isn't he afraid of being compared with the king of singers?"

   "How confident is that?"

   "Aren't you afraid of overturning your car?"

   "Zhou Hanjin himself said that he should try not to sing this song, because it is easy to overturn."

  Listening to the audience's discussion, Lin Zhibai also froze for a moment. It was true that he had heard Zhang Xiyang sing this song in rehearsal, but he didn't know that this song was Zhou Hanjin's masterpiece.

   Lao Zhang still knows how to play.

   Molesting Zhou Songwang, right?

After the prelude ended, the singing began. The difficulty of singing this song is really super high. It can be said that non-song queens dare not challenge. It involves a lot of conversions between true and false sounds. The sarcasm and debunking to appease oneself, the narrative and visual sense of the lyrics are very strong. It can be said that it is a kind of irony that spares no room for the incongruent love between modern men and women. It requires singers to interpret it with voice and countless skills.

"hehe…"

  At the transition from the verse to the chorus of the song, Zhang Xiyang smiled lightly. This laughter was bitter, mocking, and slightly contemptuous. It instantly made all the audience feel tense, as if there were ants crawling on their bodies.

   "Oh my god!"

   "So strong!"

   "I love that laugh!"

   "How do I feel that Zhang Xiyang's singing skills are not inferior to Zhou Songwang at all? This song has been completely interpreted into another version, which is very amazing."

   "It's too cool!"

   "The scariest thing is that while showing off his skills, his emotions are also very good. The laughter just now, I don't know if it was planned in advance or the atmosphere was achieved, it was just right."

  It sounds good!

  Shock!

enjoy!

   This is not only the feeling of the audience, but also Lin Zhibai's own feeling.

Lin Zhibai can be considered a semi-professional singer now. He used to listen to the crowd with tone deafness, but now he can feel the strength of the other party from a professional level. It is indeed too strong. In comparison, his singing skills are completely crushed by the other party. , at least Lin Zhibai couldn't sing Zhang Xiyang's song now.

   "Zhang Xiyang!"

   "Zhang Xiyang!"

   "Zhang Xiyang!"

  When Zhang Xiyang finished singing this song, the audience shouted crazily, as if today was his concert.

"Thanks."

   Zhang Xiyang, a man who looked miserable, actually smiled at this moment, and said to the audience with a microphone: "I am singer Zhang Xiyang."

  The audience shouting became more intense!

   During the shouting, the audience was a little surprised, because Zhang Xiyang did not step off the stage, but stood on the stage, and pulled out a small notebook from his arms.

   What is this for?

When the audience was wondering, Zhang Xiyang sighed and said, "I was invited by Teacher Baidi to participate in this show. I thought that all I had to do was sing, but the show team is too poor, and they said they couldn't afford a host." , let me take over the class, the first guest host, please bear with me if the speech is not good..."

   Good guy.

  The audience was dumbfounded.

  The program group is so poor, no wonder there is not even a host, the director just came on stage to open the show himself.

but…

  How fresh!

   It was so interesting to have Zhang Xiyang as a guest host. Not only did everyone not feel inappropriate, but they were even more excited!

  What host do you want!

   Let Zhang Xiyang come!

   Zhang Xiyang’s opening song just now was so explosive that everyone was a little reluctant to let him go down. It’s good to be able to watch on stage.

correct.

  Just now Zhang Xiyang said that he was invited by Baidi to participate in this program. What is the relationship between Baidi and this program group?

   "Cough."

Zhang Xiyang cleared his throat: "It is logical to read an advertisement, but unfortunately the program group has not yet started advertising investment. Of course, this is good news for me. I don't need to think about reading the advertisement for the time being. Then we Directly invite the next singer..."

   I accidentally mispronounced it.

  The audience burst into laughter.

  Zhang Xiyang quickly said that he would do it all over again: "Then let's invite the next singer directly. He is a very senior senior, and also a senior I personally like very much..."

  Zhang Xiyang was stumbling.

   However, none of the audience felt wrong.

If a professional host makes a mistake, everyone will definitely feel that this person is unprofessional, and even lowered the level of the show, but Zhang Xiyang is a temporary guest, the more he stumbles, the more interesting and fun everyone finds it. It can be said that the more nervous Zhang Xiyang is The more mistakes they make, the more excited they are.

   Isn't this the effect of a variety show?

  But when the second singer came on stage, everyone's interest decreased a lot, mainly because most of the young audience looked confused and didn't know each other at all.

   "Who is this?"

   "Old man?"

   "That's how Zhang Xiyang introduced it just now."

   "Even Zhang Xiyang is called senior, so he must be at least fifty years old?"

   "You don't know him?"

   "This is Teacher Xia Yulong!"

   "How about a super-strength faction!"

   "He was very popular when he was young, but there has been little movement in the past seven or eight years."

   "Then can he still sing?"

   "Listen and watch."

   "Xia Yulong! My idol!"

  Young viewers are not interested, but those over 35 years old are very excited. This show is good, and they are willing to invite this kind of old singer who was very popular in those days even though his fame is gone!

  The younger generation has idols of the younger generation.

  The elders naturally have idols of their generation.

  Xia Yulong is such an idol for those older audiences, but there are not many such stages in today's entertainment industry, where these older audiences can listen to the singing of idols of their generation again!

   "I am a singer, Xia Yulong."

   Xia Yulong said with a smile, and then began to sing.

  As soon as the melody entered, his voice sounded, bearing the traces of time.

  The vicissitudes in the hoarseness seem to have a strong sense of story, and the breath is very stable. The eyes of those older audiences gradually turn red. This is the youth of their generation.

came back!

   All are back!

   It's still the taste of the year!

The faces of those young audiences have also gradually changed. Many people may feel unfamiliar with Xia Yulong, but the song Xia Yulong is singing now is the most popular work of his youth. These young people don’t listen to it now, but when they were young, they basically I've heard it all!

   "This song is so familiar!"

   "I have heard of it!"

   "My mom used to listen to it when I was a kid!"

   "My dad used to listen to this song every time he drives!"

   "I remember, I remember, my mother said that she often listened to this song when she was doing prenatal education. It turned out that Xia Yulong was the one who sang this song. I said why the voice is so familiar."

   "Inexplicably touched."

   "Evidently there was no treble, but the singing went to people's hearts."

   "This old man's sword is not old."

   "It's a terrible fact. He caught Zhang Xiyang's scene. Zhang Xiyang's song is so popular, but he also caught it. It's such a classic old song!"

   Discussion room.

   Someone sang along.

  At the beginning, only older audiences sang along, but gradually young audiences joined in.

Young audiences may not be so familiar with the lyrics, but the melody is familiar. Many old songs are like this. You may not be able to name it at all, but when the melody appears, you can be sure that you can actually sing it, and you can easily hum along.

finally.

  Xia Yulong finished singing.

  The audience was a bit unsatisfied.

  A young audience member gently wiped away his tears, "I never thought such an old song could make me cry. I have heard it many times before. I don't know the name of the song, but I just think it sounds good."

   "I didn't feel it when I heard it before."

"The melody is too old, I really don't feel it, but listening to it live today, it feels completely different. The arrangement seems to be different from the original version, and the sound is also different from the recording studio. In short, it is very comfortable, and it seems to be sung to people's hearts. There is an inexplicable emotion."

   "I like Xia Yulong now."

   "Who is the next singer?"

   "I actually like this poor show a little bit."

   "Me too. I just thought that the biggest surprise would be Zhang Xiyang. I don't care about it later. I didn't expect Xia Yulong to bring such a big surprise."

   "Young people, don't underestimate Lao Xia."

   "Lao Xia's song in this episode is still a safe way to play. He actually knows a lot, and he spends a lot of time. If you still pay attention to this show later, just watch it."

  …

  After Xia Yulong left the stage.

  Zhang Xiyang continued to talk.

"Mr. Xia Yulong just heard this song. I heard it for the first time when I was 23 years old. I had just debuted not long ago. Listening to his singer, I couldn't help but recall the past. What kind of surprises will there be in the future? Let us invite Choose the next singer."

  The third singer comes on stage.

  The audience was stunned, no matter men, women or children.

  The main reason is that this singer doesn't look like a singer at all. He can't be called ugly. Anyway, he just looks like a random aunt on the side of the road, and he doesn't seem to be in the entertainment industry at all.

   "Who is this?"

"do not know."

   "No one knows."

   "Now I believe that the program group is really poor. Zhang Xiyang is the only big name, and Xia Yulong counts as half. This seems to be just making up the numbers."

   "Doesn't it reach the third line?"

   "Third-line singers are familiar to me anyway. This one is probably outside the 18th line. She looks a bit like my rural aunt. The key is that the clothes are so casual."

  Everyone is discussing.

  Lin Zhibai raised his eyebrows slightly.

   This singer is not from Shinhwa Entertainment, but was invited by Lin Shengtian from a small company.

  I heard from my brother that this aunt is very powerful, but she looks too ordinary, and there is no good composer to write songs, so she is a bit buried in her singing skills.

   That's right.

  Brother used "against the sky" to describe it.

   This made Lin Zhibai very curious.

   And in this curiosity, this ordinary singer started singing.

Just started.

   Everyone didn't think much about it.

   I just thought that people should not be judged by their appearance, and the voice is quite thick.

  But as the song gradually deepened, the pitch of the song became higher and higher, and the audience was shocked!

   Treble!

   Higher pitch!

   Super treble!

   Huge explosive power, almost toppled the roof!

  Lin Zhibai was frightened, his irritable and loud voice was like a giant cannon!

  Boom.

  Everyone's eardrums are trembling!

   Some viewers have already started screaming!

   However, the screams could not overwhelm the high-pitched voice of the strange singer on stage, and everyone noticed that the singer didn't even wear earphones.

   "Oh my god!"

"too horrible!"

   "What kind of voice is that!"

   "Where did the program team find the gods!"

   "Never heard this song before, it's absolutely amazing!"

   "Look at Zhang Xiyang's face, hahahahaha, I'm shocked!"

   "Strong!"

   "There's something about this poor program group, and it's aimed at the top three singers. I must follow this program in the future!"

   "This one on stage is definitely a good singer who has been buried!"

Yes.

  Everyone feels that this is a good singer who has been buried.

  You can tell just by looking at her appearance. This kind of appearance is definitely not popular in the entertainment industry, and besides, the aunt must be over forty years old.

but…

  The stage at this moment has made everyone ignore their appearance and only pay attention to the other party's voice. The thick explosive power is terrifying.

   "I am singer Yue Shanlan."

  After singing, this mediocre singer introduced herself with red eyes, and she heard all the madness and shouting at the scene.

  First time in life!

  So many people applaud themselves!

  …

  Zhang Xiyang returned to the stage, was silent for a long time, and suddenly made a joke:

   "Director, can I retire?"

  The audience roared with laughter, and their hearts became more and more shocked. The female singer named Yue Shanlan just now was really terrifying. Even Zhang Xiyang used this method to praise the other party's strength.

   "Amazing."

Zhang Xiyang said with emotion: "As a participating singer, I hope everyone will vote for me, but if I were the audience today, maybe I would consider voting for Yue Shanlan. Please remember her name. This is a song for all music lovers. , a name everyone should remember, her name is..."

   "Yue Shanlan!"

  The audience in the audience shouted, and at the same time, they were full of respect for Zhang Xiyang.

  Although his host is not professional enough, the character he displayed is worthy of deep respect. It is really rare to praise an opponent so heartily.

   "I even like his jerky hosting style."

  Some audience laughed.

   Many viewers agree.

  Even Lin Zhibai agreed.

  Before, Lin Zhibai wanted Lin Shouzhuo to be the speaker of the singer.

  Because Lin Shouzhuo is young and quick-witted, he is obviously better at speaking than other debut singers.

  Brother insisted on saying:

  For a taciturn singer like Zhang Xiyang, it will be very effective to be the host.

   It turns out that my brother was right.

   This is a mature variety showman with very precise and vicious judgments.

   Then.

  The fourth singer appeared.

   Another very old singer.

  However, after experiencing the shock brought by the first three singers, everyone no longer picks whether these singers are too famous or not.

   This is a stage to see the strength.

   Facts have also proved that the fourth singer is equally good.

  Although the fourth singer was behind Yue Shanlan, he suffered a lot and made some mistakes at the beginning, but he adjusted his state later, and the more he sang, the better he became.

  It is definitely not as good as the first three.

   But it is definitely a strong group, and it also infected the audience. Many people cried at the end. This competition seems to be more tear-jerking than any other music show.

certainly.

   The first three are stronger.

  But it’s too much for every singer to be as strong as the first three in this show. Besides, this is a competition. If everyone is equally strong, who will be eliminated?

  …

And then.

  The fifth singer appeared.

  After the song was sung, the whole audience was discussing, and the atmosphere was completely mobilized. The singers in this show are all great, completely beyond everyone's expectations!

   "It's about the same as the fourth place."

   "I know him, a very popular singer in the small circle, a **** of the small crowd!"

   "It doesn't feel like a minority."

   "The issue of song selection, he is not the best at this style, probably because he is afraid that the audience will not accept it."

   "I feel that he is a little weaker than the fourth."

   "But this kind of love song has a very unique style."

   "Exactly."

  “This style doesn’t have an advantage in playing games, but I quite like it.”

In conversation.

  The sixth singer comes on stage.

   This is a very young female singer.

  Some people don’t know each other, and some people screamed when they saw this female singer appear!

"ah!"

"is her!"

   "Iron Lung Little Song Queen!"

   "Queen of the little song?"

"How did I not hear it being said?"

"She debuted in Qizhou. It's normal if you don't know her. She just came to our Qinzhou music scene for a short time, but she is very strong. She is an absolutely talented female singer. I didn't expect the program team to find her here. !"

"Yeah?"

   Some viewers listened with suspicion.

   But soon, the audience had to believe it!

   This is really a talented female singer. She is only in her twenties, but her singing skills are no less than those of her predecessors!

more importantly…

  She is still beautiful!

  Although this is a stage that focuses on singing skills, everyone likes pretty girls.

  Beautiful girls without singing skills will be sprayed, but what if the pretty girls are good at singing?

   "Not easy!"

   "It feels like she might be on fire!"

   "Is she popular with Qizhou?"

   "It's relatively popular, but among the younger generation, by the way, she is still a singer-songwriter. This song was written by herself. I am her fan, so I know it well."

   "Singer-songwriter?"

   "Same as Chuci?"

   "Who is Chu Ci?"

   "It's "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" last month. It was also on the trending search, and I wrote and sang it myself."

   "It's almost like this."

   "But this girl should be better. She wrote her own songs at the age of eighteen, and her grades are very good."

  …

  Lin Zhibai listened silently, his eyes thoughtful.

   Is there something about this young songstress, or is she a singer-songwriter?

   It seems that my sister recommended it to my brother.

  It seems that my sister is also very good at finding singers.

   At present, the strongest ones are still the first three, but this is also close to the level of the first three.

   Considering that there are too many factors affecting the game.

  Lin Zhibai felt that this female singer could also meet the top three.

   "Hiss."

  Lin Zhibai suddenly sweated for Lin Shouzhuo.

   Put Lin Shouzhuo in this show, can Lin Shouzhuo stand up?

  This issue is okay.

  Lin Shouzhuo's ranking should not be bad, with "Someone Like Me" at the bottom.

  What about the next issue?

  It is impossible for Lin Zhibai to write new songs for Lin Shouzhuo every issue.

   "Look at his own ability."

  Lin Shouzhuo's singing skills are not weak, and Lin Zhibai feels that he can still look forward to it.

   And in this expectation.

  The sixth singer finished singing.

  Lin Shouzhuo walked onto the stage slowly after Zhang Xiyang played host. He is the seventh singer and the last singer today.

   "Another young man."

   "Lin Shouzhuo!"

   "My bracelet!"

   "Oh, it's him, "Sorrowless", right?"

   "That's right, that song was written by Baidi, I really like that song!"

   "Can he sing "Sorrow" this time?"

   "It may not be possible to sing "Sorrow" on this stage."

   "But he has a nice voice."

   "In the show, he and the female singer in front are the youngest."

   "He has a name, Han Yueshuang."

   "I forgot for a while..."

   "Listening to the song, Lin Shouzhuo is about to start."
