Chapter 295 Silent smoke
Time passes to Saturday, the day the much-anticipated first episode of "Singer" is broadcast.
As early as the night before, the topic of "singer" had already become a hot search topic on Weibo.
Almost the entire music world has set their sights on today's show.
"Singer" does not have judges, but there are "expert consultants". This role is actually equivalent to the role of a music critic, appreciating and dismantling the performances of competing singers, and explaining them to the audience in popular language.
The list of expert consultants announced by the program team in advance is also full of gimmicks.
Not to mention Li Guojian, who has collaborated with chief director Liao Tao, there are two names that have attracted the attention of fans.
Well-known music critic: Ding Dasheng!
Well-known creator: "Quick Gunner" Luo Wen!
Seeing these two names, the people who watched the melon applauded the program crew for causing trouble.
Ding Dasheng is famous for his "venomous tongue". Although he is the famous Ye Zhiqiu, his comments are actually quite fair. Basically every music review is "the song is not the person's."
But Luo Wen's identity is interesting. He is the golden partner of King Xiao Jie. Everyone knows that these two are in the same boat.
In addition to the two people's previous "air confrontation" with Ye Zhiqiu, the melon-eaters were very curious. If Ye Zhiqiu sang well, would Luo Wen praise him or not?
In addition to these, the most hotly discussed ones are the songs sung by the competing singers.
The program team did a very good job of maintaining confidentiality, and the rehearsals were conducted in strict time periods. Even the competing singers did not know what songs the other singers would sing until the moment they actually went on stage.
The new song from Ye Zhiqiu's "Chinese Style" album has finally been released despite the endless calls from fans.
...
After coming out of the hotel, Ye Zhiqiu and his agent Zhou Miao got into the business car of one of the program sponsors and headed to the live TV recording center.
The moment we got in the car, the program staff had already started recording.
In the car, Ye Zhiqiu rested his back easily on the large leather seat. This sponsor seemed to be a domestic brand, and the competition was about to begin. Ye Zhiqiu was still in a mood to sigh that domestic cars are now doing better and better.
On the other hand, agent Zhou Miao straightened her back and looked very nervous.
There was a small interview session in the car. The staff pointed the camera at Ye Zhiqiu and asked curiously: "Teacher Ye, aren't you nervous?"
Ye Zhiqiu said casually: "It's okay."
"It might be more appropriate to say excited. Strong people can't help but want to get on stage and show off themselves."
"..." The staff member was stunned for a moment.
Are you so confident?
The staff member asked curiously, "Is Teacher Ye singing a new song in the first performance? Many fans are looking forward to it. What ranking do you think you can get?"
"Are you worried that your ranking is too low? After all, the other teachers are very strong."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and did not answer directly, "I don't know the ranking either. I'll just watch the public judges vote on the spot."
"Now that I'm here, I don't have to think too much and just bring good music to the fans."
Ye Zhiqiu is confident, but he is not naive enough to think that he can beat other singers casually.
The people participating in this show are all tough characters. In terms of singing skills, no one is lower than me.
Moreover, the public judges' scoring model is actually quite uncertain. In similar programs in the past, there were many situations where singers thought they performed well, but the final score and ranking were unsatisfactory.
So much so that later, there were complaints that "Whoever has the best pitch in "Singer" will get high scores."
Ye Zhiqiu feels that this statement is understandable, after all, the audience's appreciation level is limited.
When the gap in singing skills between the contestants is very small and cannot play a decisive role, the more shocking and intuitive high-pitched sound will naturally leave a deeper impression on the audience. However, singers with a narrow vocal range will indeed suffer more.
This is determined by the performance format and format of the show, and can only be said to be part of the rules of the game.
However, although he knows that high notes are more popular, Ye Zhiqiu does not have the idea of singing high notes in every song. He still tends to sing the songs he wants to sing.
Now that he's here, he can afford to play. Even if he comes in last, it's not a big deal. He doesn't feel that he has to win.
But the situation of "last place" will not happen.
The staff continued to ask: "Excuse me, besides myself, which player's performance are you most looking forward to?"
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while and gave his answer.
"Xiao Jie, Teacher Xiao."
The staff member's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Why?"
The interviewer's eyes were fixed on Ye Zhiqiu, as if to imply, 'Say it! Say what you have to say quickly!'.
Musical talent Ye Zhiqiu vs. King Xiao Jie is the biggest selling point of the program "Singer".
Ye Zhiqiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Teacher Xiao Jie is a senior who has been in the industry for many years. He is also a king. He is very powerful, so I look forward to competing with him on the same stage."
The official's incomparable answer made the staff's eyes flash with disappointment...
At the same time, the same problem occurred in the remaining six vehicles.
Under the camera, some of the different contestants are confident, some are nervous, and some have calm faces with no emotion at all. The appearance of all the contestants is truly wonderful.
When asked the question "Apart from myself, which singer's performance are I most looking forward to?" Lu Ya, the most popular female singer, gave her answer without hesitation.
"Ye Zhiqiu!"
"I'm looking forward to his new songs."
"How is it better than that song "The Wind Rises"" Lu Ya added in her heart. When she thought about how she was crushed by Yu Caiwei at the [China New Song Award], she felt a little resentful and resentful.
If Ye Zhiqiu writes a song for me, it’s okay for me to be a queen or something like that!
The singers gave surprisingly consistent answers to the same question.
Li Kun: "Ye Zhiqiu, I want to see how much progress he has made."
Cheng Ruojun: "Ye Zhiqiu, as a Xiangjiang native, really likes his work "Exaggerated", and I look forward to another Cantonese song."
Cool Dragon Legend: "Ye Zhiqiu, we are his fans and we like the song "Friends" very much."
Huang Lingyu: "Ye Zhiqiu, this young singer's songs are also very popular in Baodao. Today you can hear the live version up close."
Almost all the contestants' answers were surprisingly consistent, with one exception.
In the car Xiao Jie was sitting in, unlike Ye Zhiqiu's simple and refreshing casual suit and shirt, today Xiao Jie wore an ancient bun-style hairstyle and a long coat with ancient patterns that were extremely complicated. The whole stage looked like a mature man.
Full of charm.
When asked the question "Apart from myself, which singer's performance are I most looking forward to?" Xiao Jie didn't think too much about it.
"Teacher Huang Lingyu Huang, she was my idol when I was in school. I am very happy that Teacher Huang is back in the music scene."
Chapter completed!
