Chapter 194 193. Musical poet? A story, a life! (Please subscribe!)
It was quiet for nearly two minutes.
Several mentors woke up.
Cui Wenfeng, Liu Junhua and Qin Han all looked calm and looked at Wang Qian with smiles on their faces.
Wang Jingyu also calmed down and wiped away the tears on her face, but she also wiped off all her makeup, leaving only her pure bare face. The revealed face surprised everyone a little.
Because, even without makeup, Wang Jingyu's appearance is not much inferior to that of 30-year-old Liu Shengnan. Her face is white and smooth, and there are not even wrinkles between her eyebrows.
If it weren't for the vicissitudes in her eyes and expression, no one would doubt that she was in her twenties or thirties.
After Wang Jingyu woke up, she quickly calmed down and smiled embarrassedly to Cui Wenfeng and the other two. Then she smiled at Wang Qian, who was still sitting on the stage like a spectator. Just as she was smiling, another tear flowed down unconsciously, and she quickly wiped it away with her hand.
Yu Jingruo, who was standing behind, had also wiped the tears from her face. She crossed her hands and clasped them tightly in front of her, standing there gracefully, looking at Wang Qian.
This scene made Wang Qian and Yu Jingruo feel as if they were back in school eight years ago.
At that time, Yu Jingruo often stood like this under the dormitory, waiting for Wang Qian.
For Yu Jingruo, this was already an extremely proactive gesture.
Eight years have passed.
People haven't changed.
Everything else has changed.
Wang Qian stood up gently.
In the extremely quiet scene, he gently said into the microphone: "Thank you!"
Two words.
But it was like a tiny stone thrown into the calm water, causing ripples and breaking the tranquility.
Zhou Qinghua quickly gave instructions into the microphone: "Daji, get on stage. People from the atmosphere group in the audience, get moving."
As soon as the words fell!
From behind the stage, the host Daji walked up quickly.
The staff members who were in the atmosphere group of the program team in the audience all stood up and clapped vigorously.
Thousands of audience members were awakened and stood up one after another, clapping their hands vigorously.
The four mentors also stood up and applauded Wang Qian! Pa pa pa pa pa...
Unprecedented applause suddenly broke out like thunder.
The host Daji came to Wang Qian and applauded with everyone.
The applause lasted for two or three minutes.
I don’t know how many people’s hands were sore from clapping, but they still kept going.
It seemed like it would continue for who knows how long! Zhou Qinghua once again gave the atmosphere group an order: "Okay, cool down."
Everyone in the atmosphere group slowly stopped applauding and sat down.
The applause at the scene also gradually disappeared.
The scene returned to silence again.
But it wasn't that kind of silence.
There are more voices of other people’s presence.
Wang Qian and the host Daji stood on the stage together, facing everyone in the audience.
Daji said quickly: "Today, Professor Wang can be called the tear harvester! Excuse me, did you cry?"
A chorus of responses rang out from the audience: “Crying!”
The host Daji laughed and said, "I cried too! Both of Professor Wang's songs are so touching. This song, "When You're Old," I think will become a symbol of happiness in everyone's heart. There is nothing happier than this."
Daji looked at Wang Qian and asked, "Professor Wang, may I ask, when did you write this poem?"
Everyone looked at Wang Qian curiously!
Wang Qian: "I wrote it recently. I just had some ideas before, but they have become clearer recently. I've been very busy, so I didn't have time to write them down. Today, after listening to Xiaowen's song, I got a stronger inspiration for this idea, so I took the opportunity to sing this poem. Thank you Xiaowen for the inspiration..."
The camera on the scene turned to Chen Xiaowen. Chen Xiaowen was not so aware of the camera position, so she just smiled normally and didn't say anything to the camera.
She felt very happy to be affirmed by Wang Qian.
Win or lose?
It doesn’t matter!
Moreover, lost to Wang Qian.
It's really not shameful.
instead.
Be able to become a rival to Wang Qian and sing the music he wants.
Chen Xiaowen feels very honored now.
Daji looked at the four instructors and said, "I just saw that all four instructors were deeply moved, especially Teacher Wang Jingyu. Is this the second time you've cried today? You've cried so hard that you're completely bare-faced."
There was some good-natured laughter.
Wang Jingyu smiled gently, her eyes fixed on Wang Qian. She did not rush to say anything as before, and seemed much calmer. After listening to the host, she said softly, "Yes. Today, I can say that my image is completely gone. Professor Wang is a tear harvester, and I am a tear contributor."
"When you listen to these two songs by Professor Wang separately, they are not so tear-jerking. But when you listen to them together, they are so tear-jerking that you can't resist them at all."
"The contrast between the regret and sadness of love and the happiness and contentment of being old is hard to guard against. When Professor Wang and Shengnan finished singing Because of Love, I said that I hadn't cried because of music in ten years. But Professor Wang's When You're Old made me cry again."
"Especially at my age..."
Speaking of this.
Wang Jingyu paused and then remembered that this was a live broadcast and there were at least hundreds of millions of viewers watching across the country.
It’s better not to talk too much about your personal affairs.
Also, speaking of age, I think of the two songs Wang Qian sang just now.
Wang Jingyu felt like crying again.
so.
He changed his tone and stopped mentioning these things.
Wang Jingyu smiled: "In short, I think this song of Professor Wang should be combined with the previous one, Because of Love. It represents the two stages of life. From this, we can see that Professor Wang's thinking on music has already penetrated into the art of life and humanity."
"Coupled with his almost perfect singing expression, I can't find any flaws. Tonight, Professor Wang's two songs are the art of music."
"I am Xiaowen's advisor, but... I can give Professor Wang a perfect score right now! These two songs are the most touching songs I have ever heard."
Wang Jingyu said a lot and finally gave Wang Qian a very high evaluation.
Moreover, as Chen Xiaowen's mentor, Wang Jingyu gave Wang Qian a higher score than Chen Xiaowen.
Moreover, it was the only one of the four performances tonight that scored a perfect 100 points! After saying that, Wang Jingyu smiled at Wang Qian again, her eyes reluctant to leave Wang Qian's figure.
Over the past twenty years, Wang Jingyu had spent twenty years building up her mental defenses, but tonight, they were shattered by Wang Qian.
She also remembered Wang Qian deeply in her heart.
Wang Qian smiled and nodded at Wang Jingyu, saying, "Thank you, Sister Jingyu. Actually, it may not be as good as you said. I just wanted to sing what I thought in my heart without thinking too much about human nature, life, art, etc. I really didn't think so much..."
OK!
Official self-complaint.
Wang Jingyu continued, "That's why I say your music is art. Real art is not something that is done deliberately. That's not art, it's a technique. The fact that you sing out your thoughts so naturally proves that you are a pure music artist. The song you just sang is a poem, so you can also be called a music poet. You deserve it!"
Wang Qian felt a little ashamed.
He really doesn't want to be praised like this and be labeled as a music artist...
The more hats you have.
The burden becomes heavier.
The higher you climb, the harder you will fall if you fall over.
Wang Qian wanted to explain more.
Qin Han clapped his hands gently and started applauding.
Then, he led everyone else to applaud.
The applause lasted for more than ten seconds.
Qin Han stopped, and everyone's applause slowly stopped.
Everyone knew he had something to say.
At this time, Qin Han said: "I applaud Jingyu. Jingyu spoke very well."
Wang Jingyu smiled, leaned back in her chair, and relaxed.
Qin Han continued, "What Jingyu said is very right. Professor Wang's two songs, when combined together, can really be said to be a poem describing life, and are very artistic. It is no exaggeration to say that Professor Wang's two songs have reached the height of art. So far, I personally think that these are the two most thoughtful, profound, and in-depth performances I have heard and seen in the past ten years."
"You are a poet of music, and you deserve the title. I will not be reserved this time and give you a full score of 100!"
Qin Han's evaluation was also extremely high.
Moreover, he said it was in the last ten years.
Wang Qian was not placed in the more distant past for comparison.
Because that would easily cause controversy and might get Wang Qian into trouble.
Wang Qian bowed slightly to Qin Han: "Thank you, Brother Han! After hearing your comments, I feel ashamed."
Daji also said excitedly: "Sister Jingyu and Brother Han both gave Wang Qian a perfect score of 100. So, what about the next two mentors?"
Liu Junhua sat upright, looked at Wang Qian and said softly: "Professor Wang's two songs today made me see the essence of music. I won't talk about those artistic levels. Just say that what Professor Wang expressed through these two songs is clear to everyone."
“A song is a story.”
"A song is a life!"
“A song is an expression of emotion.”
“Professor Wang did both of his songs tonight.”
"This is extremely rare. Over the past few decades, among all the songs in the Chinese pop music scene, there are only a handful that can do this."
"Chen Xiaowen's performance tonight was truly outstanding, but it was a pity that she met Professor Wang. It's no exaggeration to say that tonight was the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene."
"I also give Professor Wang 100 points. I can't find any reason to deduct even a little bit of points."
Liu Junhua's evaluation is also absolutely high.
Wang Qian also smiled and bowed to Liu Junhua and said, "Thank you, Brother Hua. I don't deserve it."
Liu Junhua smiled without saying anything, and looked at Wang Qian with admiration.
at last.
Cui Wenfeng looked at Wang Qian and said seriously, "So, Professor Wang. Can I ask you a question?"
Seeing Cui Wenfeng so serious, everyone became curious and nervous.
I don’t know what Cui Wenfeng wants to ask.
Yu Jingruo, Qin Xuerong and others were a little nervous, afraid that Cui Wenfeng would make things difficult for Wang Qian at this time.
but.
Wang Qian looked calm and said softly, "Brother Feng, of course you can ask!"
Cui Wenfeng nodded slightly and asked, "Then I'll ask directly. I want to ask, is rock music the music you are best at and the one you are most passionate about?"
When everyone heard this question, their eyes widened and they all looked at Wang Qian expectantly.
Wang Jingyu, Qin Han and Liu Junhua were also staring at Wang Qian.
Yu Jingruo and Qin Xuerong didn't care about it.
Musicians such as Chen Xiaowen and Liu Shengnan are very concerned about this.
because……
Wang Qian’s attainments in the field of rock music are already very high.
So, it is natural for everyone to think that Wang Qian might be best at rock music.
Look at what Wang Qian has done for rock music. The song "Shame on Myself" is still one of the most popular songs on major social platforms and video platforms.
He single-handedly made the almost extinct rock music become mainstream music!
He single-handedly revived the dying Chinese rock.
Wang Qian has now almost become a leading figure in the Chinese rock scene.
Many other bands target him.
Many rock bands that were struggling to survive have developed better because of the rock storm brought about by Wang Qian.
but……
The two songs that Wang Qian sang tonight were obviously not rock songs, but lyrical songs with a folk style.
The most important thing.
Wang Qian turned two non-rock songs into art.
He sang a life story! This certainly disappointed many rock fans who had high expectations for him.
However, Wang Qian also surprised many more people.
Rock is, after all, a niche genre. If the style is too strong, it is bound to lose some people!
The audience for these two songs is definitely wider than rock music.
As one of the leaders of Chinese rock, Cui Wenfeng has high hopes for Wang Qian, hoping that Wang Qian can lead the revival of Chinese rock.
But what if Wang Qian doesn’t play rock music anymore?
Cui Wenfeng is worried.
Wang Qian looked at Cui Wenfeng and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Feng. In fact, I have never said that I am best at rock music. I just said that I happened to want to be a rock musician recently. Rock is a type of music that best expresses musical attitudes, so every musician has his or her own rock dream."
"But, for me, rock music is really not everything. However, it is my favorite."
Wang Qian spoke sincerely and truthfully.
The reason why rock music has gradually become a niche and low-end music genre.
The main reason is that the personal style is too strong, and it is the music that best expresses the inner world of the singer and creator.
So, those who like it like it very much, and those who don’t like it even feel disgusted! However, every musician has a rock dream.
It’s still the same reason! Rock music is the best way to express yourself!
I like it because of this.
The decline is also due to this.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Rock's insistence on self-expression is clearly a double-edged sword.
Cui Wenfeng listened carefully to Wang Qian's answer and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Although you didn't sing rock tonight, I agree with the evaluation they gave you. Your performance tonight is truly an art, and you sang out your life."
"I have to give you full marks too, 100!"
Finished!
There was immediate and enthusiastic applause at the scene.
The atmosphere group in the audience immediately led the atmosphere and were the first to stand up and applaud.
Others also applauded.
Four full marks!
Wang Qian's score was full marks.
In the last performance he and Liu Shengnan performed, they received all 99 points! Many people think this is the limit.
Because being too perfect is not good.
This is what most Chinese people think.
Too much is as bad as too little.
So, 99 points is what everyone thinks is the limit.
But……
Wang Qian's second performance.
Once again breaking this limit.
The four mentors collectively gave a full score of 100.
This score can be called a miracle score among all talent shows.
But no one questioned it.
Everyone just applauded.
Because most people think that Wang Qian deserves this score.
Wang Qian also bowed to everyone present again and thanked them: "Thank you, thank you four teachers, and thank you to all the audience friends for their support."
The applause gradually died down.
Zhou Qinghua, who was in the audience, asked He Dongming who came over quickly, "How are the data?"
He Dongming smiled brightly and said excitedly, "We have achieved it. We have just reached the peak, with the ratings exceeding 14 points and reaching 14.5. It is still rising slowly. When the results are announced later, it may exceed 15. Director Zhou, we have achieved it!"
We did it.
Everyone in the program crew who heard He Dongming's words were all smiling and excited.
Zhou Qinghua also laughed and looked at Wang Qian on the stage.
It can be said that all of this was brought about by this person.
The show with Chen Xiaowen and Ru Ke had a high viewership rating, but it was impossible for it to reach such a high level.
Zhou Qinghua immediately said, "I will increase the investment in the later promotions and ask the company and the station for money. Breaking this year's highest ratings depends on this!"
After hearing this, the other leaders all nodded, and were equally excited and expectant.
…
On stage.
The host Daji said, "Okay, the scores of the four mentors are out. All of them gave Professor Wang full marks. You don't need to calculate, you know the average score must be full marks. The score is once again 1.5 points ahead of Chen Xiaowen. Next, we invite contestant Chen Xiaowen to come on stage and announce the final number of audience votes with Professor Wang."
"It is also the final moment to reveal the results of both of them!"
"Who is the final winner?"
"Will there be an extra game?"
"Everyone, please watch an advertisement first."
"Don't go away. Wait, we will reveal the answer."
The live broadcast signal was cut off, and the audience in front of the TV complained when they saw the advertisement screen suddenly pop up.
Chen Xiaowen walked onto the stage and nodded gently to Wang Qian, her eyes filled with unconcealed admiration and a hint of bright light.
Qin Xuerong couldn't help but run up at this moment.
There was live footage just now.
She resisted the urge.
Now……
It's commercial time.
Even though there were still more than a thousand people watching at the scene.
Qin Xuerong didn't care about so many eyes.
He ran over in small steps.
The young swallow threw herself directly into Wang Qian's arms.
Wang Qian gently opened his arms and held Qin Xuerong's thin and soft body tightly in his arms. His eyes were full of smiles. He turned his gaze slightly and glanced at the audience.
The figure in the coat and slippers.
It's gone.
but.
Wang Qian could see a blurry figure walking out from the crowd of the program crew and disappearing at a door.
Snap, snap, snap…
There was warm applause at the scene.
Watch Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong hug each other on the stage.
Chen Xiaowen and host Daji clapped softly on the side.
The four mentors also smiled and clapped together, those were smiles of blessing.
Thousands of viewers, as well as all the staff of the program team, gave Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong their blessing applause.
Wang Qian calmly faced the applause of so many blessings. He put his arm around Qin Xuerong's back and patted her gently, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep, and kissed her red cheek lightly with his lips.
Qin Xuerong's face was red, and the redness extended all the way to her neck, which was also burning red.
However, this time, Qin Xuerong was extremely bold and smiled at everyone in the audience.
She is very shy.
She wanted to announce it to everyone.
Wang Qian is her man! The applause lasted for more than thirty seconds before gradually stopping.
The host Daji said: "I didn't expect that I would be forced to be fed dog food while hosting a show. Professor Wang, Xuerong, please take care of us singles."
Wang Qian and Qin Xuerong separated.
Qin Xuerong smiled slightly embarrassedly, then bowed generously to the four mentors and all the audience, and said two words while holding the microphone: "Thank you all for your support for Wang Qian, and thank you all for your blessings to us."
After saying that, Qin Xuerong left the stage to Wang Qian and Chen Xiaowen and quickly walked off the stage.
However, when passing by Wang Jingyu, Wang Jingyu suddenly got down from the chair, walked up to Qin Xuerong and hugged her. The two did not speak, but just smiled at each other and parted. Qin Xuerong quickly left the stage and stood under the stage to continue being an audience member.
In the lounge.
Liu Shengnan, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue saw the live scene and applauded along.
He Fulin and Zhao Wei then started to applaud.
Liu Shengnan whispered, "They are so happy."
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue nodded and smiled without saying anything.
…
The commercial break passed quickly.
And that's just one minute of advertising time.
The major social media platforms exploded.
The major social media platforms, which had been silent for a few minutes, suddenly saw a surge in traffic.
On Weibo.
These four words "When you are old" instantly became the most popular topic.
Almost all of them were discussing this song.
In other places like WeChat Moments, many people also posted about their feelings about the song When You Are Old, expressing their feelings about life and praising Wang Qian's performance.
The comment section of Wang Qian's Weibo exploded, with tens of thousands of people posting every second, and millions of messages in just one minute.
"I cried after listening to this. Professor Wang is truly a life mentor and a tear-jerking mentor tonight."
"I cried because of love. I cried when you got old. Professor Wang, give me back my tears..."
"Wow, my wife and I hugged each other and cried our hearts out. We really hope that when we are old, we can sing like Professor Wang."
"With four perfect scores, Professor Wang really won over four instructors."
"Wang Jingyu cried so hard, it was heartbreaking."
"Liu Junhua said it very well. Both of Professor Wang's songs tell stories and talk about life. They are also very touching and naturally bring tears to my eyes."
"Professor Wang is a true music artist and music poet, and he deserves the title."
"These two songs, taken separately, are not so tear-jerking. But when put together, they are really touching and are a true portrayal of middle-aged and elderly people."
"Well, congratulations to Professor Wang for winning the title of Music Poet."
…
Many self-media and critics also stepped forward, seizing the opportunity to take advantage of the popularity and share the traffic, and published comments on Wang Qian's performance to attract everyone's attention.
A commentator with millions of fans said: "Two songs, two stories, one life! It is no exaggeration to say that Professor Wang is a musical poet. From these two songs, Professor Wang has opened up a level to other singers. Before, Liu Shengnan and Chen Xiaowen could barely be compared with Wang Qian. But starting from tonight, if they don't make greater breakthroughs in the future, they will be a level behind Wang Qian in terms of musical art."
"Perhaps, their future business achievements will not be much inferior to Professor Wang's, but there will always be a gap in artistic realm!"
…
Xue Man also made a short comment: "Because of the regrets of love, when you are old, you will be fulfilled. Professor Wang sang for us the future life. I really hope that such happiness will not be interrupted. Chen Xiaowen is really excellent. I like both of her songs very much, but Professor Wang's song is indeed more touching. I cried."
…
Li Qingyao wrote a few simple words on Weibo: "If you could live your life over again, what would you like to do?"
…
The top four hot topics on Weibo!
The first one is Wang Qian’s When You Are Old.
Second, it’s still Wang Qian’s reason for love.
Third, there are the performances of Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang.
Fourth, it is still Shichahai sung by Chen Xiaowen.
One night!
The Voice of China only had four performances, but it dominated the top four topics in terms of traffic.
It can be seen that tonight's performance of The Voice of China was extremely successful and almost became a phenomenal national program.
Now……
There are only two things we look forward to.
One is the final voting result of the two.
Another one is the voice of everyone expressed by a music critic.
"Please finish the show soon. Professor Wang and Chen Xiaowen, please upload the four songs quickly. I want to download them all now."
"Keep looping, keep listening!"
Please subscribe and support.
Thank you all…
