This star’s style is wrong

Amid the cheers of the audience, Fang Xing stepped onto the stage.

This was the first time that I heard the audience shout my name on the stage.

After hearing the audience's reaction, Fang Xing knew that after half a year of fermentation, his background and audience connections had taken shape.

This is thanks to the broadcast of "Singing".

The top variety show, coupled with the two songs "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Qili Xiang", conquered many audiences.

Especially the live audience, all came to participate in the recording of the program. Last night, they must have watched the second program and listened to "Qili Xiang".

It can be said that "Qili Xiang" contributed a lot to the atmosphere at the scene.

After the audience calmed down, He Hao began to interact: "Fang Xing, did you expect the audience to be so enthusiastic tonight?"

"I didn't expect that." Fang Xing shook his head.

"Why? You are very popular now, don't you know?" He Hao continued to ask.

"Isn't the whole internet trying to hack me?" Fang Xing joked.

"But the slogan of your fans is that if they like you, they will hate you forever." He Hao said while suppressing a smile.

"Then I thank them." Fang Xing replied.

The scene suddenly erupted in laughter.

"Let's get down to business, let's talk about tonight's song? The theme of tonight's competition is dialect. What type of song have you prepared?" He Hao then asked.

"A Cantonese song." Fang Xing replied.

"When it comes to Cantonese songs, I have begun to look forward to it. Now netizens also say that "The Hard Sutra" is the most difficult Cantonese song to learn." He Hao mentioned the Cantonese song Fang Xing sang before.

"The hardest thing I dare not say, but it is definitely one of them." Fang Xing replied.

"So tonight's song is a song that tells a story?" He Hao continued to ask.

"It's about love, and it's also about the old street stories that remain in people's memories as time goes by." Fang Xing replied.

"When you hear it, it feels like the changes of time. So what is the name of this song? Tell the audience loudly." He Hao asked the last question.

""Wedding Invitation Street."" Fang Xing said the name of the song.

"Wedding Invitation Street" is a song written by Huang Weiwen, composed by Guo Weiliang, and sung by Xie Anqi.

This song swept the four major award ceremonies in the Hong Kong music scene, winning a total of 16 awards.

Xie Anqi is also known as the "Public Queen" with this song.

The singers who have covered this song are like crucian carp crossing the river, Eason Chan, Zhang Jingxuan, Zhou Shen, Wang Xiaomin, Su Yongkang, Liang Hanwen...

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers have sung this song in concerts.

This song tells the story of an old street in Xiangjiang that sells wedding invitations and wedding decorations. Over the years, it has become a memory for people.

The song expands on this and asks the question: "Don't you love someone for the rest of your life?"

…

The studio hall fell silent.

A spotlight shines on the stage.

Fang Xing lowered his head, brewing his emotions, recalling the old neighborhood in his memory, and then turned to look in the direction of the band, signaling that he was ready.

The prelude of the song sounded, and several bells rang, like evening drums and morning bells, heralding the passing of a period of time.

After the prelude passed, Fang Xing slowly began to sing:

"Forget the flowers you have planted, start over, and give up your ideals

"Don't look at the dusty wedding invitation, you are moving..."

The main song is sung in a eloquent tone, as if leading the audience back to that old street.

This song full of traces of time seems to awaken the audience's memories of the past.

The straightforward lyrics and melody of this verse, when combined, are very beautiful and can sing into people's hearts.

This kind of song sounds gentle, but it shows more skill.

The audience listened quietly.

Since the theme of this competition is dialects, when the program team gathered the audience, they specially found many viewers who knew the corresponding dialects based on the songs selected by the singers.

Singers choose the most Cantonese songs.

Therefore, some of the audience at the scene can understand Cantonese songs.

Even the audience who cannot understand Cantonese can feel the emotions expressed by the singer from the melody.

When the audience was brought into the story by the song, the scene became quieter and everyone listened quietly to the story.

The singers who have finished singing will return to the living room in the rest area to continue watching the singers' competition, while the singers who have not yet performed will stay in their own rest room.

Therefore, there are only Liu Hongsheng and his executive broker in the living room of the rest area.

Liu Hongsheng frowned again when he heard the song "Wedding Invitation Street".

The verse of this song sounds very plain, but such a plain song can particularly impress the audience as long as it can bring the audience into the story of the song.

"True Nature" sung by Liu Hongsheng talks about loyalty in the world. Although it is the sentiment of some viewers, this song is a bit far away from ordinary people.

No ordinary person would join a club and fight with a knife.

However, the changes over time in the old streets of the city are happening around everyone all the time.

Songs that are too far away from life can only entertain the audience.

The songs that can really enter the hearts of the audience are always those that are close to life and have real meaning in the ordinary.

In the final analysis, what truly lasts forever is humanity and emotion.

However, what Liu Hongsheng has heard so far is only the main song of the song "Wedding Invitation Street". So far, this song is relatively dull. Whether it can impress the audience in the end depends on the chorus.

…

on the stage.

Fang Xing continued to sing, the singing became more and more beautiful, the melody was melodious, and the story advanced layer by layer.

“Actually, there is no stable happiness, which is never bad.

“Just like this area, it was once said to be the most perfect place in the world.

"But in the blink of an eye, all the units on the street will be filled with crows..."

All the notes converged into a beautiful melody that captured the audience's ears.

Wait until Fang Xing sings the chorus: "Don't you love someone for the rest of your life?"

Some viewers even closed their eyes and listened to the scene.

With solid vocal skills, this song was performed just right.

The lyricism of the chorus is melodious, free and easy, and the emotion of the expression, if it is too much, it is too little, if it is too little, it is too little.

It expresses the vicissitudes of life and the longing for a lifetime of love.

Fang Xing sang about his longing for a lifetime, and also about his freedom and ease in looking down on the changes in the world.

The last line of the chorus is sung:

"Forget about the home we once had, a small dining table, a sofa, a refrigerator and two servings of black tea.

"The warm light is just a loan, can you get it back when it expires?

“The time will come eventually, don’t be afraid.

"Please put down that key, please?"

The outro falls.

The audience at the scene woke up from the melodious songs and light emotional expressions.

Some viewers who couldn't understand Cantonese sighed: "Although I don't understand the lyrics, I just think this song is very nice. It's so strange."

"Music has no language barrier, and I think it sounds very good, and Fang Xing's sense of narrative is really great. In comparison, Liu Hongsheng's song has an aggressive feel. "

The audience next to him immediately agreed: "Did you feel it too? I also think Liu Hongsheng sang a bit aggressively, as if he used too much force, and it sounded very deliberate."

"When you put it like that, I feel the same way. Fang Xing is different. He sings with all his heart. The whole song doesn't make anyone feel uncomfortable. It's very lyrical."

There were also many audience members who could understand Cantonese, and they were full of praise:

"This song is nice, very nice. It is the kind of song that must be repeated as a single. As for Liu Hongsheng's song, the live effect is actually very good, making people feel that he sings very well. However, after listening to the arrangement for a long time It will feel a bit noisy.”

An audience member from Yangcheng applauded and praised: "This song should be at least in the top three among the new Cantonese songs released in the past ten years.

"I even think it's a bit of a waste to sing it on a variety show. After all, many viewers don't understand Cantonese and may be biased against this song.

"If this song is released in Cantonese, it will definitely be a chart-topping song."

Another audience member who has lived in Xiangjiang turned around and said: "Do you also think this song can kill the charts? I think so too. I feel that as long as the audience can understand Cantonese, most of them will vote for this song. .”

An audience member who has a background in music and knows Cantonese songs commented: "This song is very unique, and the overall feeling is very pleasant. Moreover, the story told by the lyrics is not a fake and empty story, but something that actually happened around me. , the emotions expressed also resonate. What’s even more rare is that the song is not bitter and hateful, but very pleasant to the ear.”

…

Singer's rest room.

Shen Xiyin's Cantonese is not particularly good, but she can understand a little bit, and the program team got her a copy of the lyrics.

Therefore, she can basically understand the whole song by looking at the lyrics.

After listening to it, she sighed: "This song is so nice. Why are your songs always so good? It's so enviable."

She became interested in the part where the rankings would be announced later.

Because both Liu Hongsheng and Fang Xing had finished singing, the two of them had secretly competed for the first place for four periods. If Fang Xing took the first place again this time, it would be fun.

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

Shen Xiyin also heard a little bit about Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng competing for the endorsement of Bao Boli.

So she knew that although the two of them didn't have a falling out, they would definitely have a secret rivalry.

Moreover, she also knew that Liu Hongsheng's company not only took the initiative to lower prices, but also promised to attend more publicity activities in order to win the endorsement of Boboli.

Even if these things were led by Liu Hongsheng's agent, Liu Hongsheng himself must have acquiesced.

Therefore, the two of them maintained polite harmony on the surface, but they were definitely dissatisfied with the other.

…

In another lounge.

Xie Yuwen rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.

After a moment, he turned to look at his manager behind him and asked, "Can you ask Fang Xing to sing a song? This guy is so awesome. Every song he sings has the potential to become a classic."

The manager shook his head and smiled, and said: "You are too slow to respond. If you ask Fang Xing to invite you to sing, the queue will be as long as outer space. Songshi Records has received so many song invitations. Even Zhang Huiying only got Fang Xing. The studio promised that there would be an opportunity to collaborate, but we haven’t seen any songs yet.”

Xie Yuwen came to his senses and said, "Indeed, I guess many singers are like me and want to ask Fang Xing for a song. If you don't have any special friendship, it's really difficult to ask for a song."

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is the Li Caiwei who sang "Drawing Heart" before? It seems that apart from Fang Xing's teammates, she is the only one who has sung Fang Xing's songs."

The manager answered his doubts: "Li Caiwei is from Songshi Records, and both Li Caiwei and Fang Xing's managers are Qiao Yinghong. What do you think?"

"It's so cool to be near the water." Xie Yuwen suddenly felt a little envious of Li Caiwei.

"Don't be so impatient to be envious. I heard that Li Caiwei promised to be Fang Xing's free singing tool without any money or profit," the manager replied.

"I don't want him to sing his songs for me. As long as I can sing and perform a few commercial shows, I will make back all the money." Xie Yuwen also wanted to be a singing tool without money, but the relationship was not strong enough.

The manager added: "One more thing you need to know is that the songs Fang Xing asked Li Caiwei to sing were all female vocals, which were not suitable for Fang Xing to sing.

"Even Lu Ming's song "Big Fish" is not suitable for Fang Xing to sing by himself.

"But your vocal range is not much different from Fang Xing's. He can sing any song you can sing."

Xie Yuwen slapped his thigh and sighed: "You just want to say that I have no chance."

"No, but it depends on fate. You can start with friends. I think Fang Xing is a very loyal person. At least he always takes his teammates with him." The manager began to offer advice.

"What should be done?" Xie Yuwen asked.

"Well... although Fang Xing is very popular now, his career has just started and he needs to accumulate experience in all aspects. You can see if he needs help and be proactive." The manager continued to offer advice.

"In order to ask for a song, it's time to play the emotional card?" Xie Yuwen never thought that one day he would reach this point just because of a song invitation.

"Anyway, it's up to you whether you want to give it a try." The agent did not continue to persuade.

"Of course, it's just to make friends. No matter how big the deal is, I like to make friends. I can make friends even if I don't ask for a song, let alone if I want to ask for a song." Xie Yuwen thought very clearly. He just complained about it just now.

…

The competition continues.

Xie Yuwen, Zhong Yuanxun, and Shen Xiyin performed one after another.

Xie Yuwen also sang Cantonese songs.

Jong Yuanxun sings Korean songs.

Shen Xiyin added Mongolian and Khumai to the song, and the effect was very good.

After all the singers finished singing, the 500 judges on site began to vote.

The program team immediately started counting the votes, and then notified all the singers to gather in the ranking announcement hall.

The singers took their seats in a row according to the order they came on.

Liu Hongsheng is No. 1 and Fang Xing is No. 2.

Therefore, the two of them unfortunately sat next to each other again.

Zheng Tao came in front of everyone with the results. He was as appetizing as ever, and he became more and more abominable.

The audience wanted to drag him out of the TV and beat him up.

Moreover, this time, he announced the votes of others first, and left Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng until the end.

The singers present were used to this situation.

Xie Yuwen said directly: "You can continue to whet your appetite. Anyway, I know my ranking. You can delay it as long as you want, I don't care."

Zheng Tao looked at Fang Xing and Liu Hongsheng and said with a smile on his face: "The situation is very interesting. Just like the previous issues, the two competition rankings are first and second again."

Liu Hongsheng's expression was already a little ugly.

In the previous three competitions, he was ranked second.

After experiencing it too many times, he felt very unhappy.

A great king was forced to this point by a newcomer in the music scene.

If he didn't want to compete for first place, forget it, but for four consecutive games, he worked hard to compete for first place.

Even some rules and regulations have been used.

The "Singing" program team indeed launched a poll on Weibo to let the audience vote for the theme of the competition.

However, not the theme with the first vote will be 100% selected.

The program team selects from the top three voting topics, which means that the program team still has a lot of choice.

As for the theme of the last two competitions, Liu Hongsheng has golden songs that fit the theme.

As Xie Yuwen said, the last two games have been Liu Hongsheng's home court.

But in the last game, which was his home field, he only came in second place, and the first place was taken by Fang Xing.

Now singing Cantonese songs this time is also his home field. If he takes second place again, his title as the second best singer in a thousand years will be confirmed.

Liu Hongsheng coughed and urged: "Director Zheng, please announce it quickly."

Under normal circumstances, Liu Hongsheng would not urge him. Now that he had urged him, it meant that he was very impatient.

Zheng Tao did not touch Liu Hongsheng's brow, and announced quickly: "The first place in this competition ranking, with 295 votes, was won by the song "Wedding Invitation Street", congratulations to Fang Xing.

"Congratulations also to Liu Hongsheng, who won second place in this competition with 263 votes."

Liu Hongsheng sat in the chair, motionless, showing no angry expression, but his face seemed to be frozen, and he did not react at all.

The other singers stood up and congratulated Fang Xing: "Congratulations, you won the first place again. The four-time winner. This should be the first time in so many seasons of "Singing", right?"

Zheng Tao added: "Congratulations to Fang Xing for becoming the first four-time winner of "The Voice" and the first for four consecutive years. I don't know if anyone can break this record."

Fang Xing politely responded to everyone's congratulations: "Thank you, thank you..."

Last game.

Liu Hongsheng lost two votes and felt a little uncomfortable.

This time, I lost by more than 30 votes. This gap was too big and could no longer be recovered by luck.

In fact, after listening to Fang Xing's "Wedding Invitation Street", he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Without the contrast of Fang Xing's song, his performance of "True Temptation" would have been very effective live.

However, when "Wedding Invitation Street" came out, the songs he sang and what he expressed were too far away from ordinary people, and even a little fake.

After the rankings were announced, all the singers kept talking.

Zheng Tao clapped his hands and reminded: "Did you forget one thing? We have to announce the theme of the next competition."

Upon hearing that the competition theme was about to be announced, the singers present immediately fell silent.

Zheng Tao waited for everyone to return to their seats before officially announcing: "The theme of the next competition is... Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu."

"Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu?"

Xie Yuwen's eyes widened immediately and he asked: "Does this refer to ancient songs? Is this Xu Xinzhen's home field this time?"

Zheng Tao added: "No, the theme of the competition is Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu, which does not refer to ancient songs. Because many ancient songs nowadays are not written according to the ancient rhythm of Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu.

"Our requirement is that the songs should be composed according to the five tones of 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu'. You can understand it as ancient style, but not all ancient style songs comply with the rules."

Xie Yuwen complained: "This is still Xu Xinzhen's home court. No, it seems that Fang Xing is also very strong in this area."

After the competition theme was announced, the recording ended and the singers left the stage.
