Chapter 331 330. Wang Qian said one word, she will go all out! Sophie's shocking performance! (Subscribe)
This player from Denmark was also unknown at the beginning when he participated in the competition in his home region. He suddenly broke out in the middle and late stages, eliminated the previous favorite to win the Danish region, and finally became the champion of the region and entered the world competition stage! His experience is a bit similar to Ru Ke's.
If there was no Wang Qian in the Chinese division.
Ru Ke will be like him, not well-known in the early stage, but suddenly explode and win the championship in the middle and late stages.
but!
The Danish region is less well-known worldwide.
Since Nissen participated in the World Championship, his appearance rate has been so low that it can be counted, and his popularity on social platforms is close to zero, and few people discuss him.
Even though the download data of his performance at the opening ceremony was very good, with more than 10 million downloads in a week, and he was almost in the top ten of the Billboard chart, but people still didn't pay attention to him. Even those who downloaded his works were just listening to the songs and didn't pay attention to him.
Because the attention paid to other contestants is really too high.
It’s not too late for everyone to pay attention to Wang Qian, Sophie, and Adam.
What's so interesting about a player from a small region of Denmark with a population of only a few million? The organizer's operation team invested very few resources in Nissen, and the media didn't want to waste time and effort on him!
So much so that...
When Neeson appeared just now.
Almost 90% of the people at the scene didn't know him.
Even when Wang Qian saw him, he thought carefully before finding his name from the official introduction information in his memory.
As for the others, Qin Xuerong didn’t even know the name of the contestant on the stage! This was a contestant with little presence.
He gave such a stunning performance on stage.
Wang Qian's applause rang out.
The quiet scene suddenly became lively.
Everyone was awakened by Neeson’s words and Wang Qian’s applause.
Snap, snap, snap…
Everyone started to applaud, giving their applause to the contestant whom they had all ignored but who had given such an amazing performance.
Now, after a closer look, many people realize that Neeson can be called extraordinary. He has the handsomeness and fortitude of a Nordic man, and coupled with his extremely young age, it can be said that he combines both good looks and talent. If he is packaged and debuts, he will definitely be a great success.
but!
The applause was warm.
Ceci on the judges' panel, Winston and Eric in the audience, and Adam who stood backstage and watched Neeson's performance, all looked unhappy.
Winston, Eric and Adam even looked a little pale!
They all couldn't believe it. The opponent, whom none of them took seriously and thought they could defeat easily, turned out to be so powerful?
This is the last player in the ranking...
Are your talents and abilities in singing so strong?
Moreover, it is also an original song? This original song sounds very good. If it is packaged and promoted well, it will definitely be a great success.
In other words, it has been a huge success now!
Although she looked unhappy, Ceci still applauded with the other judges and forced a smile.
Winston and Eric also clapped with the others with pale faces! Adam, who was standing backstage, also clapped softly, and quickly adjusted his emotions and mentality through deep breathing, so as not to lose his composure and prepare for the next performance.
Adam still believed that as long as he could finish the performance smoothly.
Then, he will definitely be the final winner! He will perform at 200% of his strength.
He also believed Wang Qian's words! It wasn't just him who made progress.
The progress made by others is also significant.
The applause lasted for ten seconds before gradually ending.
Jennifer patted Adam on the shoulder, walked onto the stage, and said loudly, "It was wonderful. Contestant Neeson's performance just now really opened my eyes. It turns out that someone can sing the high notes so skillfully. I was afraid that he would damage his voice."
Many people stopped clapping and recalled what Nissen had just said: "Thank you, Professor Wang Qian!" It was Wang Qian's music and lectures that gave him the passion to create and develop his own musical style.
Some professional musicians are very dedicated. They have previously carefully analyzed the styles and works of all ten contestants of The Voice of China and published professional articles based on them. However, this kind of highly professional analysis generally does not attract much attention, as people still prefer gossip news.
However, these professional musicians all know that Neeson’s previous musical style was different from what it is now, and he had never shown any creative talent. He had always been covering other people’s songs.
In other words, today was the first time that Neeson sang his original song, and also the first time he changed to a completely new musical style.
And this was the enlightenment and improvement that Wang Qian brought to him! Many people couldn't help but look at Wang Qian again.
This person seems to be really changing the direction of development of pop music in the whole world!
Jennifer didn't spend too much time on Neeson.
Because she supported Adam, she interviewed him briefly and then went straight to the judges' scoring stage.
Everyone looked towards the judges.
Adam and Neeson were the most nervous contestants.
Just now Adam got 66 points, which is not a high score out of 100, just enough to pass.
However, considering that some of the ten judges gave scores based on their personal emotions rather than professional qualities, this score is not low.
Now, it's up to Neeson's score! Cece was still the first one, looking at Neeson with a serious face and said, "Your performance exceeded my expectations, it was great, professionally, I really can't find any flaws, my high-pitched skills are not as good as yours. Even if your mentor Mr. Gently deliberately gave Adam a low score, I would not deliberately give you a low score because of this. Because, you are really great, I give you 8 points!"
Ceci gave an eight.
Now it is being broadcast live to the whole world. He doesn't know the exact ratings, but at least hundreds of millions of people are watching.
Gently from the small country of Denmark can be shameless.
But he has to have face!
He can't just blindly ignore Neeson's amazing performance and give it a very low score, but he can't give it a very high score either, so eight points is neither high nor low.
There was warm applause at the scene, which seemed to be an encouragement to Sisi.
Gently also clapped quietly with a smile on his face. He was not angry at all because of Ceci's words. Anyway, his goal was to hope that the players he brought could get good results. Other things didn't matter. He didn't care even if he lost face. Once Neeson really eliminated Adam and advanced, the lost face would be worthless, and the gains would be huge!
The Neeson contestant on the stage also bowed to Sethi and said thank you.
The second judge, Mungo from France, raised his hand gently and said, "I will also give you eight points. Your performance is totally worthy of this score. Come on! I hope you can create a miracle."
The judges and contestants from other regions must be hoping that Neeson can make a comeback and eliminate Adam, so that they will have one less strong competitor and can strive for a better ranking!
If Adam was eliminated in the first round, it would be big news that would shock the world entertainment industry.
After all, the attention paid to The Voice of China World Championship is too high! And the series of actions taken by North America in the past two years have also made people in almost all other countries in the world dissatisfied with North America. At this time, the North American players were eliminated under the attention of the whole world. This is definitely something they all like to see, and it will definitely trigger public opinion in countries around the world.
So! The third judge, Judy, held up the number she had written down - 9!
There was some discussion at the scene.
No one expected Judy to give such a high score. She didn't even give such a high score to Adam just now.
Everyone looked at the subsequent judges with nervousness and anticipation.
It seems that something big is about to happen.
Everyone looked at the fourth judge, Cui Wenfeng.
Cui Wenfeng wrote down eight points in a very Buddhist manner, just like before.
The fifth place, Ito Masahide, also wrote down eight points! The sixth place, the judge Ah San unexpectedly gave eight points.
The seventh place, the German judge, gave a high score of nine points.
The eighth judge, the polar bear, also gave a high score of nine points.
This time!
Everyone was shocked, looking at the contestants on the stage in surprise, and then at the ten judges! The scores of the next two judges were no longer important.
Because the score given to Neeson by these eight people has reached 67 points, which exceeds Adam's total score.
Neeson really made a successful counterattack.
certainly……
This was just a successful comeback in the professional points of the first performance, and it does not mean that Neeson really made a comeback and eliminated Adam.
Not to mention that it takes three performances to decide the final winner, the first performance alone cannot be decided by a professional score. It also requires the votes of 100,000 audiences around the world and the sales comparison within a week! So! Just a professional score really cannot determine anything.
However, this kind of counterattack drama is a scene that many people are happy to see.
Neeson on the stage excitedly raised his fist and said loudly: "Thank you, thank you everyone, thank you Professor Wang Qian, thank you my mentor Mr. Gently, thank you judges, thank you everyone, I love you..."
Adam, who had not yet left the backstage, froze for a moment. Although he had tried his best to adjust his mentality, he was still hit hard by the score.
Just a few minutes ago, he said confidently in front of the whole world that he would enter the finals and meet Wang Qian!
As a result, a few minutes later, the last-ranked opponent surpassed him by a large margin in terms of professional points...
This was almost a slap in the face at the speed of light.
"Hit? If you never recover from this, I'll be disappointed in you."
A voice sounded, bringing Adam back to his senses. He quickly turned his head to look around and saw Sophie, who was wearing a white dress and looked like a noble princess, standing not far away, looking at the stage. His profile was so stunning that he was incomparably amazed.
Sophie continued calmly, "Go back and take a rest. I am still waiting to eliminate you personally and then meet Wang Qian in the finals. Don't leave the stage here."
Adam took a deep breath, and under Sophie's influence, he calmed down. He already had some thoughts about Sophie in his heart, and now after hearing Sophie comfort him like this, he naturally regained his confidence quickly, and had one of the three major illusions in life...
The goddess is interested in me! Adam showed a confident smile on his face and said to Sophie: "Thank you, actually Neeson has no influence on me. It's just the score of a performance. The performances I prepared later will be more exciting. He will definitely not be my opponent and will be eliminated by me. Sophie, I will definitely perform on the same stage with you! If you really want to enter the finals, I can protect you to get in!"
If Sophie asked in person, he was willing to deliberately give in and lose to Sophie during the competition, so as to ensure that Sophie entered the finals.
Sophie never looked at Adam from beginning to end. She just looked at the slightly blurry shadow in the first row below the stage from a distance and said lightly: "I don't need you to protect me to enter the finals. You are not qualified. I'm going up..."
After saying this, Sophie still didn't look at Adam, and walked onto the stage gracefully.
On the stage, Neeson has received the final score, reaching an extremely high score of 85 points! In this competition system, it is very rare to get high scores from all ten judges.
So, Neeson was really surprised, and after thanking him again and again, he left.
Next, it's Sophie and her opponent's turn to perform.
There are four contestants who will perform in a cycle. In each round, they will take turns to appear, and then the second round will begin. There will be a total of three rounds and twelve performances. Even if a contestant has lost two games in a row and is eliminated, the program team will not cancel his/her third performance and will still give him/her a chance to perform for the third time. This is a very conscientious competition system.
Adam and Neeson's audience vote scores will be announced at the end of Sophie and her opponent's first round of performances.
After all, with 100,000 voters around the world and tens of thousands of viewers voting on site, we have to give everyone some time. Those who haven’t voted after the time is up will be considered options!
When Neeson was stepping down the stage, he saw Sophie walking up and stopped to look at her in amazement. Then he smiled awkwardly at Sophie and walked out quickly. At this time, Adam had already hurried back to his lounge, obviously not wanting to meet Neeson.
The atmosphere at the scene has become heated.
The program team also found that the ratings were also rising rapidly.
This kind of counterattack drama is what everyone wants to see.
Therefore, the ratings in countries around the world are steadily increasing.
This situation made the production team wonder if they should really eliminate Adam? If so, the show's popularity and ratings would explode, and it would definitely not be inferior to Wang Qian's performance in the opening game last time.
but……
This idea just came up and was rejected by everyone in an instant.
They can't go and smash their own brand.
Everything is left to the contestants, the audience and the judges to decide.
Now is the time for the program team to accumulate word of mouth and they cannot destroy it.
They only control the rhythm and propaganda, and don't care about anything else! If Neeson really has the ability to conquer the judges and the audience and eventually eliminate Adam, they will not stop him.
And at this time.
When Sophie appeared.
The atmosphere at the scene became even more heated.
because.
Sophie's performance this time was obviously more stunning than last time at the opening performance.
Last time, Sophie was relatively calm. She didn't have such a strong desire to win the competition, nor did she think that she had to win the championship. She just wanted to have more performance experience and accumulate more musical foundation, so her appearance and mentality were relatively ordinary.
However, Sophie now has a strong desire to win. She must defeat all opponents and appear on the stage of the finals to get Wang Qian's reward.
Wang Qian’s words are her greatest pursuit.
so.
She asked her stylist to carefully create a makeup look for her, which was conservative but not too conservative, nor unrestrained. It had a strong European aristocratic court style, like a princess from a fairy tale, but not so classical and still had a modern feel.
Noble, beautiful, and with a hint of purity.
Even Jennifer looked vulgar and ordinary standing next to Sophie.
The lively scene fell silent for a moment.
Then……
There was even more enthusiastic applause.
Everyone gave their warmest applause to Sophie and to that breathtaking beauty.
Wang Qian also smiled, clapped gently, and looked at Sophie with admiration.
Qin Xuerong whispered, "Sophie is so beautiful today. I want to be friends with her after seeing her."
Wang Qian asked, "Then wait until her performance is over and go make friends with her. I think she will definitely be willing."
Qin Xuerong smiled and saw that Sophie showed a trace of inferiority for the first time.
Contestants like Miyuki Nakamori and Elizabeth looked at Sophie and felt that anyone who didn't vote for Sophie would be blind! The applause lasted for nearly half a minute.
The applause lasted longer than the combined total for Adam and Neeson's wonderful performances just now.
visible.
Everyone was shocked by Sophie's beauty.
The applause stopped.
Jennifer said, "Oh my God, Sophie, are you an angel sent down from God? Your beauty overshadows the entire Staples Center."
All the Hollywood superstars turned into mediocre people in front of Sophie at this moment. No one wanted to look at Jessica and other Hollywood beauties anymore, and just stared at Sophie on the stage.
Sophie smiled and said, "Thank you. However, I hope everyone can focus more on my work and performance. I think I will give you more surprises."
Jennifer was surprised: "Oh? Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it. Adam and Neeson just now both gave us surprises, and I didn't expect that you, Sophie, also prepared a surprise for us. The contestants this time are so strong... Then, I will hand over the stage to you, Sophie..."
Having said that, Jennifer turned and left.
Sophie nodded slightly, and then the show began! The lights on the stage went out!
It seems that the contestants all like this way of appearance.
Appear in the darkness.
In the darkness, a beam of light shone on Sophie, making her, who was already dazzling, almost holy.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If she was said to be an angel descended from the sky, no one would doubt it! And then...
Sophie took the microphone and sang softly, like a choir singing...
The whole scene became extremely quiet, and almost everyone was concentrating on listening to Sophie's gentle singing that sounded like the sound of nature.
There is no musical accompaniment.
There was only Sophie's singing.
The heavenly singing was gentle and melodious and lasted for more than ten seconds.
Just when many people thought that Sophie would continue to sing in the choir and operatic style as before.
The scene suddenly changed! Sophie's singing ended.
Then……
The violent music started! Boom boom boom...
Buzz buzz buzz...
The sound of a drum set with an extremely strong rhythm rang out.
Then there is the grand and heavy keyboard music...
then……
Bass!
Guitar……
Or even...
organ!
Another beam of light shone from behind.
A line of band members appeared.
Drum set.
keyboard!
Bass!
Guitar!
And there's an organ!
A combination that leaves everyone confused.
This is……
Rock?
This seemingly uncertain answer emerged in everyone's mind with great uncertainty.
Adam and Neeson, who had just returned to the lounge, were staring at the TV screen in confusion.
The ten judges on the scene stared with wide eyes at the angel-like Sophie on the stage, with a group of rock band members standing behind her.
It's as weird as an angel and a devil standing together.
Many other audience members were also looking at the group on the stage with shock on their faces.
Only a few professional musicians looked at this scene with shining expressions.
Wang Qian looked at Sophie and the band, thoughtfully.
This band, this music style! I kind of want to...
In memory.
Nightwish?
Operatic heavy metal?
Gothic heavy metal rock? However, Sophie is obviously not in the same league as the lead singer of Nightwish, whether in terms of appearance or singing talent, and she doesn't have such a strong Gothic style.
Amidst waves of heavy metal music that assault the eardrums.
Sophie started singing in high-pitched bel canto style, but it was real rock and roll.
This kind of rock style has already appeared in this world, but it has only appeared in Northern Europe for a few years. It is still a niche and non-mainstream style and has not been developed. There is no legendary band of this style.
So, Sophie was the first to bring this style of rock to the world stage.
Without a doubt!
This is a big shock to many people who have never heard this kind of music.
In many people's minds, operatic bel canto singing is a high-end art.
However, Sophie's singing style combined with rock and roll, and sang in heavy metal music, was seen by many as a combination of angels and demons, a fusion of art and popular culture !
In Wang Qian's opinion, Sophie's style is still a little immature and not mature enough.
However, on this stage, it was enough to impress everyone.
Sophie's singing was extremely emotional, and every line of the lyrics was full of emotion.
Five minutes of performance, at the end.
Her singing voice is still high and full! It can be said that it is full of energy throughout.
The scene was also completely silent.
When her performance was over.
When a burst of heavy metal music suddenly stopped.
The scene remained silent!
until!
Wang Qian raised his hands and clapped softly.
After Sophie finished singing, she also stood in the middle, staring at Wang Qian until she saw Wang Qian applauding and smiling at her with appreciation. Then, a smile appeared on her face. Then, amid Wang Qian's applause, she held up her skirt with one hand and held the microphone with the other, and gently bowed to Wang Qian.
However, to others, it seemed that Sophie was bowing to everyone present.
then……
The audience burst into warm applause.
The ten judges stood up immediately and applauded vigorously.
Wang Qian and other contestants also stood up and applauded.
The celebrities in the first and second rows also stood up and gave Sophie warm applause.
Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded vigorously.
Even Taylor stood up and clapped softly, looking at Sophie. Although he was clapping, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and he murmured in a low voice: "I won't lose to you!"
Ru Ke applauded and said to Chen Xiaowen, "I have also been studying this style of rock recently! I didn't expect that Sophie would create a work and perform it on stage, and it was so successful. She is really a genius."
Chen Xiaowen also said in admiration: "Sure enough, there is no weak player in the world competition. They are too strong."
They all knew that if they represented the Chinese region to participate in the World Championship, they would have no confidence facing such players.
applause……
It lasted for another full thirty seconds.
Today, Sophie was treated like the protagonist and became the focus of the whole audience.
Sophie’s stirring singing and beautiful figure were still echoing in everyone’s mind, and could not be erased!
Jennifer came up and said excitedly, "It's so shocking. I'm so excited, Sophie. Your performance just now was so powerful. You are simply a genius!"
Sophie smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you everyone..."
The applause has stopped.
Everyone looked at Sophie curiously, wanting to know more about her.
Jennifer asked, "I've never heard such a shocking rock style! Besides, you've never performed rock music before. How did you do it?"
This was the question everyone present had.
Sophie's performance today was completely different from her previous style. No one would doubt that she was a different person.
Sophie looked at everyone and said loudly, "In fact, I started to pay attention to rock music since the first time I worked with Professor Wang Qian. It was also during that time that I talked to him about many things about music. He gave me some inspiration. He talked to me about rock and roll, and then talked about my operatic singing style. He told me that this rock style is great. Then, I listened to his lectures at Curtis, and I further understood the essence of music."
"After I came back, I started thinking and creating. I remembered the operatic rock style he talked about at the time, so I tried to create in depth in this area, and then I had my performance today. So I am very grateful to Professor Wang Qian for his inspiration."
“I really like this style of rock music.”
As she spoke, Sophie also bowed slightly to Wang Qian.
The camera also has to be given to Wang Qian.
Wang Qian smiled in front of the camera, waved to Sophie, and shook his head gently, indicating that no thanks were needed, with some emotion in his heart!
He just mentioned it casually to Sophie at that time, but he didn't expect to lead her to this rock style?
Genius, indeed, is extraordinary.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian curiously.
Just now everyone was shocked by Sophie's performance, but in the blink of an eye, Sophie's new style was also influenced and inspired by Wang Qian? Many musicians were extremely shocked and decided to go back and study Wang Qian's music and the content of Wang Qian's lectures in more depth, analyzing and studying word by word! Jennifer's smile froze for a moment, and she did not interact with Wang Qian, fearing that the program team would really punish her. She immediately changed the subject and continued, "It's so surprising, I didn't expect that your musical changes were also due to Professor Wang Qian. The performances of the three contestants who are now on stage all said that the changes were due to Professor Wang Qian."
"Okay, now let's see how many points the ten judges will give Sophie."
The camera was quickly turned to the judges, as the program team did not want to waste too much time on Wang Qian at this time.
With Sophie's amazing performance, the program team also hopes to support another person to be responsible for popularity and ratings, and no longer rely on Wang Qian alone. By then, hyping up the collision between the two will also generate higher miraculous ratings.
The judges also calmed down at this moment.
Ceci hesitated for a second, then raised the sign of 10 out of 10: "Her singing is very subversive and shocking. I give it 9 points."
Mengge gave her a very generous ten points: "She is the pride of our France, ten points."
Judy thought for a moment and said, "Nine points!"
Cui Wenfeng really wanted to say something, because rock music was his favorite, but he couldn't speak English well and didn't want to cause trouble for the translator on the spot, so he just gave a score of nine.
Ito Masahide also gave a score of nine.
Ah San - 8 points! German judges - 9 points.
This style is more popular with German judges.
Polar bear judge - 8 points.
Brazilian judges - 6 points! Because Sophie will be the opponent of the Brazilian contestant, the Brazilian judges gave her a barely passing score, not daring to give a score that is too low, nor too high.
The final Danish judge, Gently, also gave a high score, showing his professionalism - 9 points !
Sophie scored a high score of 86 points, slightly higher than Neeson's amazing performance just now.
Sophie bowed slightly to the judges to express her gratitude and then left the scene.
Many people at the scene were still savoring Sophie’s stunning performance.
so……
When the Brazilian players came on stage, many people didn't listen carefully.
Although the performance of the Brazilian contestant was above the standard, it did not represent a big breakthrough, just an improvement over the previous performance, and the song he sang was also an original song of relatively good standard.
If it were any other time, this would definitely be a successful piece of work. If it were played during the opening performance, it would probably attract the attention of the entire audience and receive positive reviews.
However, at this time, not many people paid attention to it! In fact...
When he finished singing, many people didn't pay attention to what he sang.
So! The Brazilian player only got 55 professional points, which was very sad. He was crushed by Sophie!
Then……
The program team announced the audience voting results for the first round of performances.
Because of the change in the competition system.
Therefore, the top ten regions in the world, with 10,000 voting spectators in each region, a total of 100,000 people, will vote together with the 10,000 spectators with voting rights on site! This result surprised many people but they took it for granted.
Adam, got over 85,000 votes.
Neeson only received more than 20,000 votes.
The votes were crushed! This was Adam's home advantage, and it was also the result of the many publicity resources Adam had enjoyed before.
Wang Qian used the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave the scene and returned to the backstage! Here, Sophie stood there quietly waiting for him.
