This star’s style is wrong

The next competing singer walked to the center of the stage against the light.

As the audience guessed, Fang Xing was the third singer to compete.

He Hao asked a question before starting the competition: "Fang Xing, before I start the competition, I want to say one thing.

"A few days ago, two friends who came to the show to accompany you said they wanted to come to watch the show live and asked me to beg for mercy from the director.

"Tonight, they came to watch you play.

"Are you suddenly nervous when friends come over?"

Fang Xing had a surprised expression on his face and glanced down the stage. He soon saw Lu Xiang'er and Ning Xiaoyun in the auditorium reserved by the program team.

Ning Xiaoyun waved excitedly.

Lu Xiang'er waved and raised her thumb, shouting: "Come on!"

When the cameraman turned the camera towards them, Lu Xiang'er quickly covered her face with her hands.

Ning Xiaoyun showed a big smile and waved hello to the camera.

Fang Xing was a little surprised, he didn't expect them to appear at the scene.

This situation was not what I expected at the beginning.

However, it was good that Lu Xiang'er appeared at the scene.

He Hao continued to ask: "Have you seen these two friends?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I saw it."

He Hao asked: "Some of the singer friends I know will be even more nervous when singing in front of relatives and friends. How do you feel now?"

"It's okay." Fang Xing still answered the same.

"The theme of tonight's competition is 'love'. The taste of love is sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, and a mixture of five flavors. So which flavor are you going to sing tonight?" He Hao began to bring the topic to the song.

"That should be sweet." Fang Xing looked at Lu Xiang'er in the audience, with a smile on his face.

"Is it sweeter than "Across the Ocean to See You"?" He Hao cueed the song sung by Li Caiwei again.

"Actually, "Across the Ocean to See You" is not very sweet. It is just the feeling of loving someone. The taste of someone who is not loved is sour." Fang Xing replied.

"So the song you are going to sing tonight, is it the story of one person or two people?" He Hao continued to delve into this topic.

"You'll know after listening to the song." Fang Xing did not answer directly.

"It still whets our appetite. In that case, let me tell the audience, what is the name of the song you are going to sing tonight?" He Hao asked the last question.

Fang Xing slowly said the name of the song: ""Confession Balloon"."

"Confession Balloon" is a song sung by Jay Chou, written by Fang Wenshan, composed by Jay Chou, and arranged by Michael Lin.

This song won the Billboard Radio China Top Ten Golden Melody Awards in 2016 and the Best Song of the Year Award at the 28th Golden Melody Awards.

"Then let's listen to the song "Confession Balloon". The stage will be handed over to Fang Xing." He Hao finished his words in an excited tone, and the lights on the stage dimmed.

The spotlight shone on Fang Xing, causing the entire studio to focus on him.

Lu Xiang'er was a little nervous, clasping her hands with her fingers, holding her chin, and just staring at the person on the stage.

When she heard the song title "Confession Balloon", her heart began to beat wildly.

Various thoughts came to her mind: What does this song mean? Are you singing it to me? Or are you singing it to others?

She was even worried that there were other "people" at the scene and couldn't help but look around.

If this song was sung to someone else, she would really want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Ning Xiaoyun had already started waving excitedly, but found that Lu Xiang'er next to her was fidgeting nervously.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you understand the title of this song? Why don't you react at all?"

"What if this song is not sung for me? What if it is sung for other people at the scene, I...I..." The more Lu Xiang'er thought about it, the more worried she became.

She felt that if it was really such a bad situation, it would definitely be a large-scale social death scene.

"Impossible, I must have sung it for you. How could there be anyone else?" Ning Xiaoyun insisted on this idea.

"But, he didn't know about our coming to the scene. How could it be that he sang it to me?" The more Lu Xiang'er thought about it, the more it made sense.

The two of them came to watch the show and had not communicated with Fang Xing beforehand, so it was impossible for them to sing this song to her live.

"You think too much. You are really a fan of the authorities. Don't worry about so much, and listen to the song carefully first. After the recording of the program is completed, things will naturally become clear." Ning Xiaoyun grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand, raised it and began to swing to the prelude.

The beautiful melody of "Confession Balloon" floated out, and the brisk notes beat in the studio hall.

Fang Xing raised the microphone and started singing:

“Coffee on the Seine, on the Left Bank.

"I hold a cup in my hand, taste your beauty, and leave your lip prints on your mouth.

"Florist Rose, whose name was wrong.

"The confession balloon was blown across the street by the wind.

"Smile, fly in the sky..."

The sweet melody, accompanied by cheerful lyrics, reaches the ears of the audience.

The audience immediately relaxed when they heard this sweet singing.

Originally, some of the audience at the scene had just finished listening to "Prose Poems Written by My Father" on TV last night, and they were worried that Fang Xing would use another tear gas song.

Because he already had a stress reaction, when Fang Xing stood on the stage.

The audience at the scene was ready to withstand the tear gas attack.

However, as soon as Fang Xing's singing came out, the audience suddenly felt their mood brighten up.

The sweetness rises straight up as the melody and lyrics blend together.

The brisk melody also made the audience wave their hands along with the notes.

on the stage.

Fang Xing glanced at the nervous girl in the audience, looked away, and continued singing:

"You said you were a bit difficult to chase, and you wanted me to give up.

“You don’t need to pick the most expensive gift, just the fallen leaves from the Champs Elysees.

“Create a romantic date and don’t be afraid to mess up.

"With you, I have the whole world..."

Lu Xiang'er in the audience slowly put her random thoughts behind her while listening to the singing.

She made a decision in her mind. After the recording of the program was finished, she said she was going out to play with Ning Xiaoyun and came to watch the program live.

If this song is sung to others, it will not lead to social death.

Anyway, we are here, just listen to the music carefully first.

After thinking about it, her mood began to improve. Although she was still a little nervous, she could already feel the sweetness in the song.

The smile on her face is like winter snowflakes melting in the palm of the hand, making people want to hold it in their hands.

The audience at the scene was a little confused: "Is it really a sweet song from beginning to end? It can't be deceptive, right? Don't make any twists."

The audience next to him analyzed: "Probably not. It's not like Fang Xing has never sung sweet love songs. Don't forget "Qili Xiang"."

The audience's emotions floated in the sweet melody, and gradually came to the last chorus.

Fang Xing raised the melody and continued singing:

“Dear, I’m in love with you, love diary.

“Memories of perfume.

“A whole bottle of dreams is all about you.

“Stir together.

“Honey, don’t be willful, your eyes.

"Say I do."

After the whole song was sung, the last note fell.

The audience was very happy to hear it. Compared with other bitter love songs, this song "Confession Balloon" was particularly refreshing.

After the song ended, the audience began to applaud enthusiastically.

He Hao returned to the stage with a mysterious smile on his face and said, "Why does this song sound so much like a confession to me?"

"It was originally called "Confession Balloon"." Fang Xing replied with a smile.

"What a clever answer."

He Hao showed a smile that showed he could see through the situation, and then began to say the words: "Next, it's the next singer's turn to come on stage. Please first ask Fang Xing to return to the rest area to rest..."

The songs that the next singers sang were basically bitter love songs.

There are indeed a lot of bitter love songs in pop music.

Sometimes, it is indeed a sad love song that can sing more deeply into the hearts of the audience.

However, tonight's situation is a bit special.

Li Caiwei first used the song "Across the Ocean to See You" to portray what it is like to love someone very clearly.

It seems to allow the audience to see what a person who loves himself should look like.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xing used the song "Confession Balloon" to tell the audience how to respond to the person you like.

As for "Across the Ocean to See You", this song is actually not very sweet. It is just one person's expression and may not necessarily get a response.

After adding "Confession Balloon", the stories are superimposed together, explaining what love is, which fits the theme of tonight.

Also tell the audience clearly.

Love is not a matter of one person, but of two people.

When you like someone, even the light in their eyes speaks.

therefore.

After "Across the Ocean to Come to See You" and "Confession Balloon" were finished, the singer behind them sang a bitter love song again, which made the audience feel very uncomfortable.

The song at the beginning is so sweet, but the song at the back pulls the audience from the sweetness into the bitter sea of ​​love.

The audience didn't buy it. After the singer finished singing, the applause was sparse and not enthusiastic.

There were even some audience members who wanted Fang Xing to come back and sing "Confession Balloon" again.

Who wants to listen to sad love songs on such a happy night?

Wait until all the singers have finished singing.

The program team arranged an on-site hearing to start voting, and the singers went to the ranking hall to wait for the final results.

After the votes are counted.

Zheng Tao came to announce the results.

The competition this time is fierce, not fierce, not very fierce.

Because the singers will not be eliminated tonight, but the singer with the best performance in the whole season will advance to the finals "Battle of the Singers" in advance.

Unfortunately, Fang Xing sang all the way and was always first.

Therefore, in the eighth period, even if you finish last, you will most likely be the first to advance.

Before announcing the results, Zheng Tao asked the question as always: "Fang Xing, who do you think will take first place tonight?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said: "Actually, when I sang "Confession Balloon" tonight, I didn't do it for the first place, I just wanted to sing this song, so whoever is the first place, I think it's fine. If you have to If I choose a song, I think "Across the Ocean to See You" has a better chance."

"Then let us congratulate... Li Caiwei, "Across the Ocean to See You" received the highest number of votes tonight and ranked first. Congratulations!" Zheng Tao directly announced the results.

Perhaps due to the popularity of the show, "Across the Ocean to See You" will also vote for Fang Xing in part of the hearing.

In the end, Fang Xing got the second place.

However, this time, the third place was not Liu Hongsheng, but South Korean singer Zhong Yuanxun.

This time, Zhong Yuanxun chose a classic English song with a high-pitched chorus that was very shocking and successfully defeated Liu Hongsheng.

When Liu Hongsheng heard the result, his expression froze.

After announcing tonight’s rankings, Zheng Tao continued to announce the finals promotion results:

“During the last recording session, the promotion rules for the finals ‘Battle of Singers’ were already explained.

“So tonight the first singer to advance to the ‘Battle of the Singers’ will be decided.

“The promotion candidates will be determined by the total votes cast throughout the season.

"And from the first episode to tonight's eighth episode this season, the singer with the highest number of votes in the eight episodes is..."

Shen Xiyin and Xie Yuwen complained in unison: "Director Zheng, even if we are fools, we can guess who it is with our toes, so there is no need to whet our appetite, right?"

Zheng Tao chuckled and said, "You know, the audience may not know."

Shen Xiyin rolled his eyes and drew a horizontal line in front of his face with his finger: "Did you see it? This is the audience's barrage. They all said they knew it."

Zheng Tao was not embarrassed at all and continued: "Then let us announce the first singer to advance to the 'Battle of Singers', he is... Fang Xing.

"Congratulations, see you on the stage of the finals. Thank you for your contribution to the show and bringing us eight good songs."

While he was speaking, he took the initiative to shake hands with Fang Xing.

"Thank you, thank you..." Fang Xing quickly returned the gift.

After thanking him, Fang Xing pointed to the door and asked, "Can I leave then?"

Zheng Tao shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? At least finish recording this session?"

"No, I just feel like I have nothing to do with me anymore. I just sit here and act like a mascot." Fang Xing said with a naive smile.

Zheng Tao continued: "Next, comes the thing that everyone is most concerned about. Yes, the next thing to be announced is the theme of the next competition. Are you nervous?"

The singers present were very nervous.

Because in the next issue, there will be a second singer who will advance to the "Battle of the Singers".

Originally, Liu Hongsheng had the best hope, but tonight Zhong Yuanxun suddenly appeared, making the situation confusing.

Moreover, although Zhong Yuanxun has not reached the top of the ranking before, his ranking is not low, so the gap between the total number of votes and Liu Hongsheng is not big.

besides.

With their votes, Xie Yuwen and Xu Xinzhen also hope to compete for promotion spots.

Moreover, even if you fail to advance in the ninth round, you still have a chance in the tenth round.

In other words, each subsequent period is very important. As long as you can overtake the previous singers in the number of votes, you can hope to advance to the "Battle of the King of Singers".

Zheng Tao continued: "Before announcing the theme of the next competition, we will first announce the current overall ranking.

“Tonight we will not announce the numerical value of the total votes, only the ranking of the total votes.

“The ranking of total votes is Liu Hongsheng, Zhong Yuanxun, Xie Yuwen, Xu Xinjun, Li Caiwei...

“Caiwei’s total number of votes is slightly lower, after all, she came in midway as a fill-in.

"However, the gap between the first four singers is not too big, and they all hope to compete for the next two places to advance to the 'Battle of Singers'.

"So, come on, everyone."

Xie Yuwen originally ranked third in total votes, but he was surpassed by Zhong Yuanxun tonight, and the situation was a bit dangerous.

He urged: "Director Zheng, hurry up and announce the theme of the competition."

Zheng Tao glanced at the card in his hand and said, "The theme of the next competition is...dreams."

Upon hearing this theme, the singers present couldn't help but sigh.

Dream theme, there are many songs to choose from, but they are also difficult to sing.

After announcing the theme of the next competition, Zheng Tao bowed and thanked: "Thank you everyone, tonight's recording has ended. There will be a preparation later. After the preparation is over, everyone can disperse."

…

The singers returned to their respective rest rooms, and the filming director began preparations.

"Zhong Yuanxun, how do you feel about winning third place tonight?" The director began to ask Zhong Yuanxun.

The translator translated this question into Korean and told Zhong Yuanxun.

Zhong Yuanxun answered in Korean, and then the translator translated it into Chinese: "It feels very good. Since it is the first time to participate in Xiangjiang Satellite TV's "Singing", I am not familiar with the taste of your audience.

"So if you don't find a way to get high scores in the first few episodes of the program, your ranking will get higher and higher in the future."

The director continued to ask: "So that's it, so what's the method you found to get high scores?"

Zhong Yuanxun replied: "That's the treble. I found that your audience likes to hear treble. The higher it is, the more shocking it is."

The director thought for a moment and said, "But in a few episodes, Fang Xing didn't sing high-pitched songs."

Zhong Yuanxun smiled and replied: "He is a special situation. The songs he sings are of high quality. Moreover, he also won the first place in the first issue of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" with his high notes.

"Except for Fang Xing, the situation is more obvious for others. Li Caiwei's "Daybreak" and Liu Hongsheng's "Wutong Night Rain", the higher the treble, the higher the ranking.

“I didn’t find this pattern in the first few periods, so I missed a lot.

"However, starting from the next issue, the first place will be mine."

The director continued to ask, "Then, apart from Fang Xing, who do you think is your biggest competitor among the remaining singers?"

Zhong Yuanxun shook his head and replied: "There is no opponent."

The director continued to ask: "Can't both Liu Hongsheng and Li Caiwei do it?"

Zhong Yuanxun shook his finger and replied: "They can sing well, but in terms of singing skills, they are no match for me."

When the director heard this answer, his eyes shone.

If this segment is broadcast, the variety show effect will definitely be full.

"It turns out that Teacher Zhong is so confident, so let's wait and see how it will perform in the next issue." The director said the last sentence and ended tonight's preparation.
