Chapter 332 331. The most dazzling Sophie! What will Wang Qian's next performance be like? (Subscribe)
When Sophie stood on the stage, she gave Wang Qian a signal with a hidden wink.
Wang Qian didn’t want to go!
but……
Sophie's performance today was indeed amazing.
It’s not that she sings operatic rock well, but her subversive creation that breaks with her past image and style has amazed everyone.
From classical to rock!
The contrast she brings to everyone is even greater than that brought by Wang Qian.
After all, Wang Qian had always been unknown before, and he debuted as a singer, and then gradually showed his talent in classical music. Everyone just saw a sense of contradiction in Wang Qian, but there was no strong contrast.
but.
Sophie has been a piano genius since she was a child, and can be regarded as one of the representatives of the younger generation in the field of European classical music.
Even when Sophie participated in The Voice of France competition, the music she sang had a distinct classical style, revealing her talent and attainments in classical music!
Therefore, Sophie has always had an obvious identity and label as a classical music genius.
Now, she has plunged directly into rock music and brought the niche operatic rock that has just emerged in Northern Europe to the world stage.
This brought an incredible contrast, surprise and shock to all the musicians present.
So! Wang Qian also wanted to see Sophie, so he said to Qin Xuerong that he was going to the bathroom, left his seat, and went backstage.
This is the most lively time for the world competition.
The backstage seemed deserted, with no one around, but it was also very lively because the noise from the front was constantly hitting the place.
Because, the audience votes for Sophie and her opponent's first performance were being announced, and Sophie beat her opponent's 20,000 votes with 90,000 votes! Wang Qian walked to a corridor without surveillance.
Sophie, who had not yet returned to the lounge, stood there quietly in her white dress.
Seeing Wang Qian coming, Sophie turned around gently, her skirt lifted up slightly, looking ethereal. She smiled at Wang Qian and said, "Does it look good?"
Wang Qian did not go in, fearing that he would be entangled, which would waste a lot of time and might also affect Sophie's subsequent performance.
So Wang Qian stood at the entrance of the corridor, leaning against the wall, looking at Sophie with admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, but your performance just now was more exciting."
Sophie smiled brightly, as if Wang Qian's praise was the best reward for her, which made her feel more accomplished than the high scores given by the judges. She walked towards Wang Qian with light steps: "You inspired me. Before, I never thought about winning the championship, and never thought about concentrating on making pop music."
"But I have to get your promise. So, I have to defeat all my opponents. In the past few days, I have studied your music attentively. Because your music is the most popular type in the current pop music market."
"And the core of your music is rock. Rock has been dormant for twenty years, and because of you, there are some signs of revival. I can use this trend to attract popularity."
"So, I created the music based on the idea you mentioned at the beginning, which is to combine opera and rock!"
Sophie had walked in front of Wang Qian. Wearing high heels, she was almost as tall as Wang Qian, who was wearing flat shoes. She looked straight at Wang Qian, moved forward slightly, and touched Wang Qian's lips.
Wang Qian took a step back and looked at Sophie with admiration: "Then I look forward to seeing you on the stage of the finals. Now, just concentrate on preparing for your next performance! Come on!"
Sophie looked at Wang Qian with a hint of desire: "Then won't you give me a little reward now?"
Wang Qian seemed a little helpless. He walked forward and kissed Sophie on the forehead, even standing on tiptoe to reach it. Sophie took the opportunity to gently hug Wang Qian.
Wang Qian whispered in Sophie's ear: "Come on..."
After saying that, Wang Qian walked out and returned to the scene.
Sophie stood there and watched Wang Qian's back disappear before she walked out and returned to her own lounge.
Back to the scene!
Wang Qian nodded and smiled at Qin Xuehong, Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen, Yu Jingruo, Li Qingyao and others in the audience.
Among the crowd, Wang Qian was surprised to find Wang Jingyu, the mentor of China's Voice, sitting very low-key in the audience. When she saw Wang Qian, she smiled and waved. Wang Qian also responded with a smile.
Go back to your seat and sit down.
Qin Xuerong whispered, "Just now Nakamori Miyuki was saying that she also wanted to play rock music!"
Wang Qian looked at Miyuki Nakamori curiously.
Miyuki Nakamori looked a little embarrassed, but still said to Wang Qian bravely: "Professor Wang Qian. Sophie's rock just now was great, and I also have the urge to compose a rock song. Her performance is so impactful..."
Elizabeth heard it too and said, "Yes, Sophie is a genius!"
Wang Qian also had such admiration in his heart.
In terms of true talent, he is definitely not as good as Sophie.
His current works and achievements are the result of his experiences, memories and insights from two lifetimes.
However, Sophie truly creates based on her own genius and talent.
Because she really wants to make it to the finals.
Therefore, Sophie really studied pop music and Wang Qian’s most popular rock songs, and then combined some classical elements of rock songs to create this performance that shocked many people at the scene.
Compared to this!
Adam, Elizabeth, Miyuki Nakamori, and all the other contestants including Neeson who just appeared seemed to be a little worse than Sophie.
Wang Qian said to Miyuki Nakamori and Elizabeth, "She is indeed a genius. However, Miyuki, you should continue to play your favorite music. Your music is excellent and beautiful in itself. There is no need to force yourself into the field of rock music!"
Miyuki Nakamori's pretty face was full of thought, and she nodded: "Well, I know, thank you Professor Wang Qian for your guidance..."
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment...
Did I give you any pointers?
Wang Qian looked at Miyuki Nakamori, whose face was full of gratitude and admiration.
Wang Qian looked at Elizabeth again and found that Elizabeth's face was also full of admiration and solemnity, as if she understood the wise words Wang Qian said.
All right!
Wang Qian shut up and looked at the second round of performance on the stage.
In the first round, Adam was hit by his opponent Nissen in the professional points, which made him get beaten on the spot.
Although, he far outpaced Neeson in the audience vote, allowing him to pull even.
However, losing professionally means that he lost to his opponent in hard power and performance.
Winning the audience vote only proved that he was more popular and had more publicity resources at home! Moreover, they didn't really win in the first round.
Because they are tied with one win and one loss, what needs to be verified by the market next is to determine the winner based on market sales data.
And this will take a week.
certainly.
Adam has absolute confidence that he can beat his competitors in sales.
However, not being able to defeat his opponent on the spot, and having to rely on sales to defeat his opponent was a huge blow to him.
He is the official number one player, he is the North American champion...
He is a champion supported by many people in North America. In a sense, he can represent the strength of North American pop music.
However, he failed to crush the Danish contestant who was unknown to many people. This was a small blow to the North American pop music scene.
During the break, it took Adam a long time to adjust himself back to his normal state of mind. He didn't even dare to open his phone to read the comments from the outside world, for fear of seeing the disappointment of many fans who supported him.
Second time on stage.
Adam showed his absolute talent and good condition. In addition, it was a new song that he created in the past few days due to his burst of inspiration and combined with rock elements. It set the scene on fire again.
In the end, the professional score finally reached 80 points.
Except for the judges from the Polar Bear and Denmark regions who deliberately gave five points, all other judges gave high scores, even the Indian judges gave relatively high scores.
Adam finally proved himself.
Neeson's second performance was a little disappointing to many people who had high expectations of him.
Because Neeson's first performance was so amazing, many people have higher expectations for his subsequent performances.
However, Neeson's second performance did not follow the success of the first. The song he performed was not original, but an adapted old song. Although he added some high-pitched virtuoso skills, it was not as amazing as the first performance, and did not reflect his own musical concepts.
but……
It still shows Neeson’s strength and talent.
Therefore, the score given by the judges was not low, reaching 81 points, which was still one point higher than Adam, making Adam want to vomit blood.
Because everyone's scores for Neeson are relatively objective, and no one deliberately gives a low score.
Adam faced an obviously targeted low score, which was a bit unfair to Adam!
But……
Once the scores are out, they cannot be changed.
Elizabeth, who was selecting the first place winner, whispered, "After the competition, the judges who deliberately gave Adam low scores will definitely be criticized, and the organizers will definitely warn them. They are suppressing the contestants so irrationally, and they have not demonstrated the fairness and professionalism of the competition at all."
Miyuki Nakamori also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Adam's score shouldn't be so low! Neeson's score is relatively objective..."
Other contestants including Jonathan also agreed.
They will all compete next and face scoring by the judges.
Therefore, none of them wanted to be in Adam's current situation, being deliberately given low scores by several hostile judges.
If they lost like that, they would really not accept it.
They could imagine right now how angry and depressed Adam was.
In fact...
After Adam returned to the lounge and saw Neeson's score, he immediately called his agent Eric and said, "Contact the company to put pressure on the program team and warn those judges. I really don't want to be targeted like this again. If this continues, I may announce my withdrawal. Rather than being eliminated by their inexplicable suppression, I might as well withdraw on my own initiative!"
Adam could imagine that if two or three judges were deliberately targeting him and gave him low scores every time, he would definitely be eliminated and would never make it to the finals! Now he was facing a contestant like Nissen who was not very popular.
If he meets Sophie or Elizabeth, who are also very popular and can compete with him in the voting, and his professional scores are deliberately suppressed, will he win with his head? Rather than facing elimination, it is better to withdraw from the competition now and save face. He can say that he withdrew because the judges were unfair, and he has an excuse!
Eric also said helplessly: "In fact, after the first round of performances, I have already contacted the company, and they have also contacted the production team. Don't worry, they will give you fair treatment!"
Adam said with a hint of anger: "It's better this way!"
Hang up the phone!
Adam looked at Sophie's performance.
Sophie's second performance did not continue the amazing operatic rock performance of the first one, which disappointed many people.
However, Sophie had also carefully prepared this song beforehand. It was like a hymn, supporting Sophie like an angel.
Coupled with the deep impression left by Sophie’s first performance, it formed a sharp contrast with the second performance, and also brought a different and alternative impact to many audiences.
So! The applause was still overwhelming.
The professional score was higher than the first round, reaching as high as 90 points, and almost all of the ten judges gave a high score of 9 points.
This made Adam look even uglier.
Afterwards, Sophie's opponent came on stage and her performance also showed her level and strength and talent. In her own competition area, it was definitely a championship-level performance, but with Sophie's excellent performance in front of her, it seemed very ordinary, and finally she only got 70 professional points.
After the second round of audience voting numbers came out.
Adam no longer has a clear crushing advantage over Neeson. Adam received more than 59,000 votes, while Neeson received more than 50,000 votes, and it seems that he is almost catching up.
The gap between Sophie and her opponent was huge. Sophie got more than 99,000 votes, while her opponent only got more than 11,000 votes, truly crushing her opponent.
Round 3! Adam was finally not targeted.
The three judges who had just criticized him were also obviously much more low-key.
Adam also did not sing any original songs in the third show. He was able to create two high-quality original songs within a few days, which was already an outburst of inspiration. For the third song, he could only make a major adaptation of a rock song for the performance.
The effect was quite good! The applause was very enthusiastic.
It seems that rock has become the mainstream of popular music nowadays.
Adam also received a professional score of 87 points, his highest score of the day.
Neeson's third performance disappointed everyone a little more. It could only be described as mediocre. He sang a high-pitched song that everyone is familiar with, and continued to show off his talent and voice. If it were placed among other ordinary performances, it would definitely be considered excellent.
However, on today's stage, Neeson's third performance seemed too ordinary, and he only got more than 70 professional points in the end, losing to Adam in professional points for the first time!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Adam returned to the lounge and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the first two performances, he tied with Neeson. In the third performance, he won in professional points and was likely to win in the audience vote. He only won once on the spot. He will need to win once in sales data within a week to advance.
The player officially ranked first in the world cannot immediately eliminate the player ranked last to advance!
Adam himself was very embarrassed. Thinking about the big words he said at the first performance, he wished he could go back in time and take back those words.
In the third show, Sophie's performance was also a new song that continued the previous style. It was also a new song she had prepared for the World Championships. This disappointed many audiences who still wanted to hear her sing rock and roll.
Obviously, rock music was really Sophie's momentary inspiration, and she only created a song temporarily, but it brought better audio-visual effects to everyone, and everyone wanted to continue to enjoy such an audio-visual impact.
So, everyone was disappointed.
However, Sophie was still given warm applause.
The professional score is as high as eighty-nine points.
No one paid much attention to Sophie's opponent's performance in the end. They only remembered that her professional score just reached 60 points, which was enough to pass.
Even after the show ended, many people did n’t remember the name of Sophie’s opponent?
No one will pay attention to the eliminated contestants.
Because, in the end, Sophie still received more than 90,000 votes, crushing her opponent's several thousand votes, winning all three games, eliminating her opponent without looking at sales results. Even if her opponent's sales exceeded hers within a week, Sophie would still advance! Adam's audience votes beat Neeson's more than 51,000 with more than 58,000 votes. The win was not much, but it was a win after all.
Many people have discovered the result of today's game.
Adam didn't advance right away! He only won one game, and the other two were draws. We need to wait for the sales data to come out before we can determine who will advance!
if……
Neeson's songs sold more in the first two shows than Adam's, so Neeson could beat Adam and advance to the next round! Although this is only a theoretical possibility, it will still attract everyone's attention and hype.
Finally, it was almost over.
When all four players appear at the same time.
Adam's expression was visibly stiff.
If possible, Adam didn't even want to perform again. He just went back to rest and think carefully about the next round of performances and how to ensure that he would not be on the verge of elimination in the next round.
And Sophie became the most eye-catching person tonight.
In all three performances, they crushed their opponents.
All three performances had their highlights.
Especially in the first performance, Sophie brought everyone an extremely shocking audio-visual experience.
certainly!
Many people also remembered it.
The four contestants who performed today all publicly called Wang Qian "Professor" and publicly thanked Wang Qian for his inspiration and encouragement...
After the game!
Many media gathered here at Adam's place.
Of course, it wasn't because Adam's performance was so good that it attracted them.
But it’s because there is too much news to be dug up about Adam today.
Guns and cannons were stretched out in front of Adam and surrounded him.
"Adam, what do you think of your opponent Nissen? You lost to Nissen in two professional points. Do you think you will be eliminated by Nissen?"
"Adam, you just barely passed your first performance. How did you do it? Aren't you a genius?"
"Adam, you said Wang Qian helped you a lot, but you didn't eliminate your opponent. Does that prove that Wang Qian didn't help you?"
"Adam, have you ever thought about the possibility of you being eliminated by Neeson?"
"Adam, if you were eliminated by Neeson, would you feel ashamed?"
"Adam..."
Each question made Adam look extremely embarrassed.
However, he couldn't refuse them all.
The post-match interview itself is part of the performance. He is not yet a big enough star to refuse all media interviews, and the program team will not allow it. These media reporters are also partners of the program team.
Agent Eric also signaled him to say a few words.
Adam forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your help. There is no doubt that I will defeat my opponent and advance. Nissen is a very good opponent, and he has also learned a lot from Professor Wang Qian's music. Therefore, he is not a weakling. We are two strong teams meeting each other and presented everyone with a wonderful and suspenseful performance."
"Okay, thank you everyone..."
After saying that, Adam left in embarrassment.
On the other side! Sophie was also surrounded by many media.
As the most dazzling contestant today, the media naturally could not let Sophie go.
"Sophie, your first rock show was amazing. Have you ever thought about continuing to create similar music in the future?"
"Sophie, the rock style you sing has already appeared in Northern Europe. Why do you say it was inspired by Wang Qian?"
"Sophie, your last two performances are completely different from the first one. Does this mean that you will continue to stick to your previous style in the future?"
"Sophie..."
Facing many questions, Sophie said softly: "Rock is also a kind of pop music, and it is also music that everyone likes. Of course I can make rock music. In the future, I may continue to create similar rock music, and I may also create other types of rock music."
"There are indeed several bands with similar styles in Northern Europe, but I have never heard their music before. As I said, I tried it only when I performed with Professor Wang Qian at the opening performance and we were talking about music. He mentioned it to me and I started to do it."
"Thank you everyone..."
After saying that, Sophie also left quickly.
but……
When Wang Qian was about to leave, he was also surrounded by many media. His popularity was no less than that of Adam and Sophie.
"Professor Wang Qian, the four contestants who performed today all said that you helped them understand music better. What do you want to say to them?"
"Professor Wang Qian, Adam's performance today disappointed everyone. Was it influenced by you?"
"Professor Wang Qian, your performance will be next week. Will you continue to stick to the rock style?"
"Professor Wang Qian, there is news that you will hold a piano concert in Los Angeles during the competition. Is this true?"
"Professor Wang Qian..."
Wang Qian dragged Qin Xuerong and moved step by step among the reporters. Seeing that no one wanted to leave, he could only answer: "I have never taught anyone music. When I give lectures, I just share my music philosophy and the way of learning music with everyone. If everyone learns something from it, I am very pleased. Of course, I will continue to stick to rock music in my performance next week. This is my style in the Voice of China competition, and I will stick to it."
"Also, during the competition, I will concentrate on preparing for the competition and will not be distracted by preparing for the piano concert..."
A reporter asked loudly: "Professor Wang Qian, do you remember what you said? You said that each performance would have a different style, even a different voice! Will you keep your promise for the next performance? Will you perform with a different voice and style?"
Many reporters who wanted to ask questions fell silent.
Because, that's what many of them want to ask.
There are so many news points about Wang Qian that they want to dig out.
And the second performance is about to begin.
They also have to give face to the organizers of The Voice of China, so they try to dig up as much news as possible about Wang Qian and the second performance. This will promote the second performance and also help them to attract traffic, which is a win-win choice.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian.
Adam, Sophie, Neeson, Miyuki Nakamori, Elizabeth, Jonathan and other contestants all looked at Wang Qian! One of the reasons why all the audience, including contestants and judges, as well as many professionals in the music field and Hollywood stars, were looking forward to Wang Qian's performance was because of what Wang Qian said.
Of course, when Wang Qian first said this, no one believed him and everyone thought he was bragging.
However, now that everyone has witnessed Wang Qian’s many talents and abilities, they are looking forward to it. Perhaps Wang Qian can really do it?
But……
What kind of performance would that be? They couldn’t imagine it!
because!
Wang Qian's next performance is unknown.
Different in style and even in sound from the last show? No one could imagine what the show would be like.
Everyone looked at Wang Qian, waiting for his answer.
Wang Qian looked at the camera calmly and replied: "To be honest, I don't know the answer yet. You will know when the time comes."
After saying that, Wang Qian took advantage of the moment when the reporters relaxed, pulled Qin Xuerong out of the crowd, and quickly joined Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, He Fulin, Zhou Qinghua, He Dongming, Chen Xiaowen, and Ru Ke, and rushed out together! But...
Public opinion about The Voice of China has just begun to explode in countries around the world.
While everyone is paying attention to the public opinions about this performance, more people are also paying attention to the sales of the works of the four contestants who performed in the first official competition of The Voice of China.
After all, the fate of the two rivals, the North American champion and the Danish champion, still depends on sales. Such a suspenseful plot is what many people are paying attention to! However, what many people did not expect was that
A new week begins...
The protagonists in the North American music download market are not Adam and Neeson.
At the same time, Sophie, who performed the most amazingly, was not the absolute only protagonist.
Wang Qian's name is still so dazzling that many people cannot ignore it.
This is something that many people would not expect.
It's the second week.
The sales of Wang Qian’s two works are still so strong?
