This star’s style is wrong

In the guest lounge area.

The orchestra and guests invited by the competing singers all watched the competition in this rest area.

Among them was a young man wearing a suit and bow tie. He was the young pianist Zhou Mingqiao who was invited by Chaoyin Culture to accompany Li Siqi on the piano.

Zhou Mingqiao came this time to accompany Li Siqi.

He didn't know much about boy bands, so he was invited here because he had a friend to help him, the songs he chose were pretty good, and the "Singing" stage is the ceiling for domestic music programs.

All things considered, here he comes.

He knew that the mysterious singer mentioned by the host was Li Siqi.

As for who Li Siqi wants to play, he doesn't care.

After all, he was just here to accompany this performance, and the subsequent games had nothing to do with him.

He just needs to perform to his best this time.

Therefore, he does not participate in the decision-making of Li Siqi's team.

When the host announced the goal of kicking the gym, Zhou Mingqiao didn't pay much attention.

While chatting with the guests next to me, I learned that this singer named Fang Xing was very capable.

However, I have never paid attention to Fang Xing before, so I don’t have an intuitive feeling.

When he heard the prelude of "Qili Xiang", he immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling that the prelude of this song was of a very high level.

The melody sounds very gentle, but it fully expresses the artistic conception of summer and poetry.

Moreover, he can be sure that people with higher musical literacy will have a higher evaluation of this song.

After listening to the verse and chorus, Zhou Mingqiao felt that this song was as good as the song Li Siqi was going to sing.

However, that's not the end, as the interlude modulates and then the strings join in, a brilliant string ensemble that takes the song to even greater heights.

After listening to the interlude, Zhou Mingqiao already knew in his heart that it was impossible for Li Siqi to win.

In fact.

The song Li Siqi will sing this time is called "Going Far Away". It is a golden song that has won many awards at Blue Star, and the level of the song is also very high.

It's just that after the interlude of "Qili Xiang" appeared, the lyrics and music of "Going Far Away" seemed to be a lower level.

This is already deadly, but it is not the most deadly.

Zhou Mingqiao's musical literacy allows him to clearly hear the sound of each instrument and the timbre of the singer.

Therefore, he was very sure that the singer named Fang Xing surpassed Li Siqi in terms of singing ability.

Therefore, before even playing, Zhou Mingqiao already knew that this was a performance destined to be unwinnable.

However, he is just here to play the piano, and it is enough for him to play the piano well.

As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter to him.

…

on the stage.

After Fang Xing finished singing, he adjusted his mood.

He Hao returned to the stage and said: "Before the competition just now, the target of the singer's selection has been announced. Do you think he will challenge?"

Fang Xing asked curiously: "What will happen if we don't challenge?"

He Hao replied seriously: "If the kicking singer does not challenge twice, then the opportunity to kick the house will be lost."

"Doesn't that mean we don't have to sing anymore?" Fang Xing asked again.

"Yes, there is no chance to sing." He Hao nodded.

"That's so comfortable, isn't it? You don't have to sing and you can get money." Fang Xing had an envious expression on his face.

He Hao staggered: "Why did you want to go there?"

The joke is over, the variety show effect is also there.

He Hao turned to the topic: "So, has this singer launched a challenge? Let's take a look."

Toot toot…

As soon as he finished speaking, an alarm sounded, and red lights flashed all over the place.

He Hao showed an expectant expression and said, "Okay, hearing this alarm means that the kicking singer has launched a challenge.

"Fang Xing, are you nervous now? This time I really got kicked out. And according to reliable information from the director's team, the kicking singer invited a famous pianist to accompany him this time."

Fang Xing said calmly: "I'm not nervous. In fact, I was wondering if the singer would regret not participating in the first episode."

Li Siqi, who was sitting in the lounge of the singers in the kick hall, heard this sentence, and his expression suddenly froze.

Because he discovered that the situation might not be worse than it is now if he initiates a kick-off in the first game.

Speaking of the song itself, the melody of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is more suitable for singing live, and it has more advantages when used in competitions.

However, the first game is not a theme competition. Li Siqi can choose more songs and has more freedom.

Since the second game was a theme competition, the range of song selection was much narrower, making it more difficult to compete.

He Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think that if a kicking singer launches a kicking show in the first competition, he will have a greater chance of winning?"

Fang Xing smiled and asked, "That's not true. In fact, the results should be the same."

He Hao reacted immediately.

Fang Xing came first in the first competition. If the singer wants to win, he has to surpass the first place. This difficulty...

But thinking back to the "Qili Xiang" just now, it's really hard to say which one is more difficult. Anyway, they are all hell-level difficulties.

As the host, He Hao began to feel helpless for the singer who kicked out the show.

Both competitions were extremely difficult. Even before the competition, the result was already determined.

Unless a miracle happens.

Although he felt so in his heart, He Hao would not say it out loud, but continued to announce in an excited tone:

"Thank you Fang Xing for your wonderful singing, please go back to the rest room to watch the game.

“Then it’s the turn of tonight’s kicking singer.

"Who is this kicking singer?

“He is a superstar with 30 million followers on Weibo.

“He is still a trending topic 366 days out of 365 days a year.

"He's not fighting alone.

“They swept multiple group awards at the three major Chinese Golden Melody Awards since their debut.

"Tonight, he will use the microphone in his hand to prove that his music can stand alone.

"Now, let's invite the singer for tonight's performance. He is..."

He Hao did not read out the name, but turned to look at the back of the stage.

Light shot out from behind the stage, and a singer with a model figure came back against the light.

Because He Hao's introduction just now was very solemn, the audience was very curious about the identity of this singer.

Everyone craned their necks to look, but the singer was walking against the light and could not see his face clearly.

Fang Xing was also curious as to who was so stubborn that he chose him twice in a row.

When the kicking singer walked to the center of the stage, the backlight disappeared and the spotlight fell from above.

The audience at the scene finally saw clearly the appearance of the singer who kicked off the hall, and some young audience members immediately shouted out.

"Li Siqi! It's actually Li Siqi!"

"Li Siqi, isn't he the captain of SPK? Why did he come to "Song"?"

In the impression of most ordinary viewers, Li Siqi is the captain of the idol boy group SPK.

SPK is indeed very popular in China, and it can be said that it is the ceiling of domestic men's groups now.

However, most viewers are still rational.

In the audience's impression, SPK is very popular, and Li Siqi is even more popular, but they can never shake off the label of a boy band.

Ordinary viewers will think that boy groups should do what boy groups do, including singing and dancing as a group, doing variety shows, appearing in variety shows, and filming idol dramas.

Only a competitive singing program like "Singing" should not join in the fun.

In the program "Singing", either the king of heaven comes, a talented singer who is rarely seen, or a national team to reduce the dimension of attack.

The boy band comes here and their style is wrong.

Before the competition begins, He Hao wants to have an interaction.

However, He Hao was very wise and did not mention the goal of playing in the gymnasium with him, because Li Siqi's face was already very solemn.

"This is Si Qi's first time on the stage of "Song". I heard that this time he also brought a heavyweight partner. Can you introduce him to me?" He Hao started to guide the topic.

"It's a pianist who won an international award not long ago, Mr. Zhou Mingqiao. It's fate that made us know each other, so I asked him to accompany me for my competition song tonight." Li Siqi answered the question according to the script.

"What's the name of the song sung this time?" After a brief interaction, He Hao quickly got to the point.

"The title of the song "Going Far Away" tells the story of an ignorant love during the period of educated youth, who had to break up due to circumstances." Li Siqi briefly introduced the background story of this song.

In fact, the song "Going Far Away" is the theme song of a Blue Star TV series about educated youth.

This TV series was broadcast on CCTV 20 years ago and created a ratings myth.

This song has also become one of the most familiar songs to the 60s and 70s generation.

The song selection this time was a decision made by Li Siqi’s team after discussion.

In terms of decision-making, the song selection this time is indeed very clever.

Because Chaoyin Culture has conducted a survey, Li Siqi is very popular among the post-90s and 00s groups, and also has a good reputation among the post-80s groups.

The only thing lacking is the popularity among the 60 and 70 age groups.

Therefore, Li Siqi's team very cleverly chose the song "Going Away" to awaken the feelings of the 60s and 70s generation.

In this way, Li Siqi's competition tonight can kill the audience of five age groups: 60, 70, 80, 90, and 00.

The interaction ends and the light is pressed.

Zhou Mingqiao sat down in front of the piano and pressed the first note.

A sad melody flows out.

Li Siqi picked up the microphone and started singing in a deep voice:

"Your back will eventually go away. Searching along the railway track, a long distance. Places you can never go to will be circled on the map for your whole life..."

Hearing Li Siqi's singing, the first singer at the scene, I felt a bit pity.

With Li Siqi's popularity and the performance of this song, if he changes his goal, he is very hopeful that he will be successful in the competition.

It's a pity that the target chosen is too terrifying.

Moreover, when Li Siqi was in the boy band, the group songs he sang were all dance music.

Therefore, when he sang this song with a deep voice, it was obvious that he was not that proficient.

Coupled with his experiences, he couldn't sing the emotions of that era.

Therefore, to the ears of the 60s and 70s generation, this song is not that pure.

In terms of singing skills, although he is already a very good singer in the boy band, he is not outstanding in "Singing".

The level of piano accompaniment is very high, but the accompaniment cannot be any more impressive.

After Li Siqi finished singing, there was a fairly warm round of applause.

Some viewers applauded the song, while others applauded Li Siqi's courage.

However, although the straightforward songs can awaken the audience's feelings, they cannot cover up the brilliance of "Qili Xiang".

There were still many spectators, immersed in the cool summer breeze just now.

After Li Siqi finished singing, the starting singers came on stage one after another.

After the last singer, Chen Lizhu, also finished singing, the 500 people at the scene began to vote.

The program team will conduct vote counting on site.

at the same time.

The filming director began to prepare the singers.

The director asked: "Fang Xing, did you guess the identity of the singer before he appeared?"

Fang Xing shook his head: "No, I don't know who it is."

Director: "When you saw that the singer was Li Siqi, were you worried?"

Fang Xing: "What are you worried about?"

Director: "I'm worried about losing the competition. If I lose, I might be eliminated directly."

Fang Xing: "How low do I need to be in the second game before my overall ranking falls out of the top three?"

Because "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" in the first show has already won the first place.

If we want to fall out of the top three in the overall ranking of two games, we have to finish last in the second competition.

"Qilixiang" is the last one?

How blind do you have to be during a live hearing to cast this type of vote?

Besides, after listening to the competing songs of the remaining six first-time singers, there is no reason why "Qili Xiang" should not take first place.

Director: "Were you surprised when you saw that the singer was Li Siqi?"

Fang Xing: "It's just fine."

Director: "Then do you know why he chose you as his target in both games?"

Fang Xing: "I'm not sure, he and I don't know each other. Maybe we had a confrontation on the music charts?"

Director: "What do you think of Li Siqi's performance tonight?"

Fang Xing: "It's not bad, the first echelon in the boy band."

This answer is truthful, but the scope must be well defined. The first echelon of men's groups is placed in the music world, and there is no need to comment.

Director: "Then do you think Li Siqi's kick-off tonight will be successful?"

Fang Xing: "It's a bit difficult."

…

After the preparation is completed.

The program team arranged for the singers to come to the ranking announcement hall.

The seven starting singers took their seats in order of appearance.

Li Siqi, as the kicking singer, sits on the far right.

Fang Xing was the first singer to appear, sitting on the far left.

After the first competition, the first singers have become quite familiar with each other.

After sitting down, we started chatting.

Everyone is making commercial boasts:

"The singing was really good tonight, especially the first line of the chorus, it was great."

"You too, you sang so well, I was so mesmerized that I almost lost my makeup."

Waited for about half an hour.

Zheng Tao took the final competition results, walked into the hall, and stood in front of a group of singers.

"The final voting results have been tallied. There were 500 people on site for the hearing, and 495 valid votes were obtained, with a total of 1,492 votes.

"Moreover, the number of votes for the first place in tonight's competition is higher than that of the first place in the last competition, which is 8 votes higher."

Everyone turned their attention to Fang Xing.

Because the first place in the previous show was "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" by Fang Xing.

Zheng Tao added: "However, tonight's first place and the first place in the last game are not necessarily the same person."

Xie Yuwen complained: "It doesn't necessarily mean the same person, it just might be the same person, right?"

Everyone here is a capable singer. I know who sings well and who sings mediocrely.

Maybe the ranking may not be 100% accurate, but the error will not be too big.

Therefore, in Xie Yuwen's opinion, tonight's "Qili Xiang", even if it does not take first place, is definitely among the top three.

The specific ranking depends on the acceptance of the on-site hearing.

After all, there were 500 people attending the hearing, covering all ages, so predictions cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

In particular, there may be a big generation gap between older listeners and younger people in their appreciation of music.

Zheng Tao did not answer Xie Yuwen's words, but continued to smile and asked: "Do you want to hear the results of the match first? Or do you want to hear the ranking results?"

Xie Yuwen added: "What do we want to hear? Are you just going to announce something?"

Zheng Tao chuckled and said, "I won't whet my appetite tonight. I'll announce whatever I want to hear."

"You said it, then I want to hear the result of the expulsion first." Xie Yuwen didn't believe that this stupid director would be dishonest.

"Okay, let's announce the results of the match first." Zheng Tao agreed immediately.

"Hey... Director Zheng, this is not your style." Xie Yuwen was already tortured to the point of having a stress reaction.

Zheng Tao looked at Fang Xing and asked, "Fang Xing, what do you think the result of tonight's gymnastics competition will be?"

Fang Xing waved his hands with a look of disgust and said, "I don't know, don't ask me."

This question is too difficult to answer.

If the answer is: The singer has no chance at all and can go home directly.

When it airs, it will be criticized for being too rampant.

If you answer: The kicking singer is very strong and has a good chance of winning.

When it airs, it will be criticized for being too hypocritical.

Fang Xing simply refused to answer the question and directly asked Zheng Tao to ask another person involved.

Although he didn't answer this question directly, Fang Xing's expression, actions, and this disgusting answer could easily make a meme.

The variety show effect has been achieved.

Zheng Tao was very satisfied and turned to Li Siqi and asked: "Li Siqi, are you satisfied with your performance tonight?"

Li Siqi replied expressionlessly: "My performance tonight was not bad. I have already shown my level in rehearsals."

Zheng Tao then asked: "Then do you think you can win tonight's kickboxing match?"

Li Siqi thought about it and gave a very official answer: "The opponent is very strong and a very respectable opponent. As for the result, it depends on which song the judges prefer, and I can't guess the result."

There was still one last bit of hope in his heart.

Because the song "Qili Xiang" is not sure whether it will be popular among those in their 60s and 70s.

However, his performance of "Going Far Away" can capture the feelings of the 60s and 70s generations.

If those in their 60s and 70s don't like "Qili Xiang", then he still has a slight chance of winning.

After all, in the ears of the audience, singing ability is not the criterion, but whether the song sounds good or not.

Zheng Tao glanced around and officially announced the results: "What is the result of tonight's kick-off? Is it a success or a failure? Let us first announce the number of votes for the kick-off singer.

"Li Siqi competed tonight and received 175 votes, ranking fifth.

"So it's a pity, Li Siqi, that you didn't succeed in playing tonight. Thank you for coming to the stage of "Song", thank you."

Li Siqi's expression was very stiff and he could no longer hold himself tight.

He stood up, clasped his hands, and said goodbye to the singers present: "The results have been announced, I won't stay any longer, and I have to catch a plane. Please take your leave."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly, his face expressionless from beginning to end.
