Chapter 111: The Three Public Songs Selection Announced

Qu Qinghuan glanced at the contestants in the audience. Many of them tried their best to avoid looking at him, which showed the "intimidating power" of this song.

"According to fan voting, the center position of the song "THUNDER STRIKE" is——"

She started to sow doubts again, looking at the nervous expressions of the contestants below the stage, and laughed inwardly.

Nothing else, it's just that the organizer is too boring and likes to tease the contestants~

It wasn't until several top-ranked contestants began to fidget that Qu Qinghuan raised his hand with a smile and pointed in a certain direction: "Contestant Bai Yan!"

As soon as she announced it, applause filled the auditorium.

Everyone applauded Bai Lang enthusiastically. The number of performers for one song is 5, which means that in addition to the C position, there must be 4 unlucky people to join the team.

I just hope that because I work so hard, I won’t be chosen.

The main reason is that I'm afraid of holding others back. Judging from the appearance of contestant Bai Lang, he has a bad temper. If he can't learn or perform well, he won't beat me up.

Bai Lang stood up and thanked him with a normal expression.

For him, it doesn’t matter what style of performance he uses. Since it is the fans’ choice, he will give it his all.

If the choreographer dares to choreograph, he dares to dance, and he must dance to the best of his ability and present it perfectly!

Xie Qingyu was a little disappointed when she heard that Bai Lang was the center of this song, but she had to admit that this song was indeed more suitable for Bai Lang.

It seems like the fans' song choices are more in line with the contestants' own characteristics, but if that's the case...

Xie Qingyu inevitably became more and more curious about what type or style of music his fans would choose for him.

When the title of the third track, "Aurora Kissed the Dayline," appeared on the big screen, the entire auditorium fell silent.

The creative concept of "stealing a moment of eternity at the junction of day and night" makes people's hearts tremble as soon as the words appear.

The prelude pours out like flowing water, and the strings and piano interweave a dreamy melody.

As the music played, the contestants' expressions gradually changed from concentration to amazement.

I don’t know where or when the program team started collecting these songs, but the quality of these songs is totally different from what would appear in a talent show.

The song is grand in its elegance and powerful in its gentleness, perfectly blending storytelling and romanticism.

In the chorus, when the heavy organ and the clear string music intertwined, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but be moved by this song. Especially the lyrics:

"The Aurora kisses the dayline

Smuggling tenderness on the edge of prohibition

I'll trade everything for this second

Even if I have to pay back light years

Even if it burns my universe"

How can this be an ordinary ballad?

It is clearly telling the story of a forbidden yet reckless love, and every word is heart-wrenching.

Almost everyone's eyes turned in the same direction at the same time. Gu Yan was staring at the screen intently, seemingly unaware of the gazes.

Sure enough, the next second after the song ended, Qu Qinghuan bluntly announced: "According to fan voting, the centerpiece of 'Aurora Kissed the Daylight Line' is—Gu Yan!"

The result was so predictable that the contestants didn't even bother pretending to be surprised.

Xie Qingyu clapped his hands while trying to calm himself down - this couldn't go on. Why did every song make his heart beat so fast?

We still have to trust the fans' vision, they will definitely choose the most suitable song for him.

But when the prelude of the fourth song sounded, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but sit up straight, because... he also liked this song!

As the prelude of the song called "Wild Knight" sounded, Xie Qingyu's pupils dilated unconsciously.

Its creative concept - 'a wild symphony of yellow sand, sweat and street blood' perfectly interprets the art of style mixing.

The producer creatively transplanted the wild spirit of western cowboys into modern street culture, reconstructed the "contemporary nomadic spirit" with motorcycle elements, and finally returned to the original romantic theme of physical confrontation.

The music arrangement is even more amazing - based on Hip-hop, it cleverly incorporates the glissando technique of the banjo, adds a western-style trumpet melody to the chorus, and the rhythm section accurately simulates the rhythm of galloping horses.

This bold and innovative hybrid style, even Xie Qingyu, who has tried many different musical styles, couldn't help but fall for it. He was so so so... in love!!!

Although he knew in his heart that he would most likely not be the center of this song, Xie Qingyu still couldn't help but stare at Qu Qinghuan on the stage with shining eyes.

"According to fan voting, the centerpiece of the track 'Wild Knight' is Qian Song!"

Hey~ When will it be Yu Yuzi's turn~

Xie Qingyu sighed softly in his heart, and then looked at Qian Song who stood up excitedly with unconcealable envy.

The other party obviously did not expect to get such high-quality music. When he stood up, even his hands and feet were out of control and he was extremely happy.

No! I can't just fall in love with every song I see!

Xie Qingyu adjusted his breathing and secretly warned himself: Stay calm! After all, he has seen the world, how could he be so obsessed by a few songs?

We must firmly believe in the fans' choice!!!

However, when the fifth rock band style song called "Don't Call Me Good" was released and played.

His psychological defenses collapsed again!

This cannot be blamed on his lack of concentration. For someone who loves the stage, the program team has too many "tricks" and the "ammunition" they have prepared is too sophisticated.

Each song has a different style, but the quality is top-notch. Who can resist this?

The song's creative concept, 'The New Vocal Cords of the Cocoon Breaker', directly hits the core contradiction of the idol industry.

The producer uses rock aesthetics to package the transformation declaration, explores the constraints and breakthroughs of the "personality cage", and interprets the artistic evolution theory of "destruction and reconstruction".

What's even more amazing is the music design - alternative rock mixed with experimental electronic music. This high-risk combination can easily sound like whining, but this song is completely soul-stirring.

Hearing this, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but wonder if the producers of these songs were secretly battling each other, each one more creative and bolder than the other.

"We've wrongly blamed the production team. It turns out all the funding went into this!"

"It's only natural to save a little on a daily basis. Funds should be used where they matter most!"

"Who understands??? From the first track on, I've had goosebumps all the time. Such a high standard. Any song I hear would be worth it if I could hear it!"

After the song was played, other contestants in the contestant box also began their "confession" performances for misunderstanding the good intentions of the program team.

With the quality of this song, what's the point of waiting two days!!!

As for whether the contestants were genuinely impressed or just following the trend, that's not important.

The important thing is - there are still two tracks that have not been announced. He is super excited to know which one the fans will choose for him.

The center position of the song "Don't Call Me Good" was also successfully taken by Sun Lele's fans.

I think his fans took into consideration his breakthrough performance on the second public stage. Although the official program has not yet been broadcast, the feedback from the 3,000 live audiences has already spread through various channels.

The confidentiality agreement of the program team has always been to prevent gentlemen but not villains, not to mention that they themselves may not want to keep it secret very strictly.

The marketing account they maintain has already released the "first-hand" information.

As long as you don’t spread photos or videos of the performance on the Internet, the positive feedback from the live audience can also raise the expectations of the online audience. Why not do it?

The sixth track "Clear Sky Travel Guide" was released immediately afterwards. The creative concept is "In the prime days of youth" and it carries a strong campus atmosphere.

Anyway, the quality is definitely there.

It’s just that compared to the stunning performances of the previous songs, this fresh style of song caused the contestants’ reactions to be noticeably bland. In other words, their tastes have become spoiled.

But Xie Qingyu was listening carefully to every note - this was indeed a qualified and thoughtful work.

While other campus songs recount innocent love, this song takes a different approach, focusing on pure friendship and youthful energy. Warm memories, pieced together from everyday fragments, unfold slowly in this lighthearted melody.

Perhaps it is this quality of returning to nature that can bring unexpected effects on stage?

Xie Qingyu tapped her knees lightly, and suddenly realized an interesting phenomenon: every song prepared by the program team this time was trying to break the mold of similar works.

Just like this campus song, it abandons the clichéd love routine and instead sings the praises of friendship - maybe it can really touch the audience who miss their campus days.

"According to fans' voting, the center position of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Clear Sky" is--" Qu Qinghuan's voice brought his thoughts back to reality.

Because the C positions of the previous songs were all contestants in the second debut position, and currently only Xie Qingyu and Wei Liangchen are left in the top seven.

Compared with the two, Wei Liangchen is more suitable for this type of song. After all, he performed this type of song on the first stage, and the response to the same type of stage in the next public performance was also good.

Who knows, maybe his fans would like him to perform this kind of songs on stage.

When almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Wei Liangchen, another person's name was heard from Qu Qinghuan.

"Contestant Weiran!"

The entire auditorium fell into an eerie silence.

What's going on?

Haven’t Wei Liangchen’s fans ever beaten Wei Ran’s fans?

That shouldn't be the case. The popularity gap between the two is quite large. Either his fans made a strategic mistake, or the program crew is deliberately creating topics.

This is embarrassing. It is impossible for Xie Qingyu not to get the C position. Then he would be the only contestant among the second-place debuters who did not get the C position in the center of the song.

The key is that these two are roommates, and even more importantly, they are sitting together now. It’s really a drama. Open the door to drama, it’s the drama at home~

They could almost imagine how the post-production editing would magnify this moment - the camera switching back and forth between the two of them, accompanied by sentimental background music, and at most a few close-ups of the other contestants' shock.

Wei Liangchen was stunned for only a very short moment, then he smiled broadly and embraced Wei Ran, who was a little at a loss beside him. Everyone in front of the camera was a decent person.

"Congratulations!" There was no sound of abnormality in the voice, only the slightly stiff fingertips that touched each other revealed a hint of true emotion.

There was definitely a gap in his heart, and although Wei Liangchen didn't show it on his face, a hint of bitterness rose in his heart.

He knows that his abilities in the show are not outstanding, and perhaps his fans also think that he is not worthy of the center position... This thought is like a thin thorn, gently piercing his heart.

Regardless of what the contestants think, the song announcement is not over yet.

All eyes were focused on the big screen. This song, which was deliberately left to the end by the program team, and Xie Qingyu, whose center position had not yet been determined, made everyone know:

The next one to appear must be the real trump card!

Xie Qingyu leaned forward slightly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He wanted to show him how the production team cherished him so much, and how the fans had chosen him specifically for him.

What kind of work is it?
