Chapter 371 370. We are all waiting for Wang Qian! What is rock music without bass and drums? (Subscribe)
Adam actually cried!
She walked off the stage in tears with Sheena.
Many people in the audience were also moved by Adam.
They all heard from Adam's songs about his efforts and struggles during this period.
It was under their witness that Adam had grown step by step from a pure draft rookie to where he is today.
After reaching his peak, he was once considered the biggest favorite for the championship. Many North American audiences believed that he had already secured the title of The Voice of China world champion!
But……
Reality is cruel.
Adam's experience is actually the process in which many North American audiences who supported Adam were constantly hit.
Now.
Adam is still working on it and has found a new direction.
This heartfelt rap song is extremely nice to listen to, and paired with Xina's voice, it is a perfect match made in heaven, and is basically not inferior to the best rap singles in recent years.
It was recognized by almost everyone at the scene.
The Brazilian judges praised: "Adam is showing even more of his amazing singing talent and musical talent."
Adam's rap indeed shows a stronger singing talent, not every singer can sing rap songs. The lyrics and music of this song were mainly created by him, almost reaching the world-class level, showing top-level music creation talent.
Adam's image has suddenly become taller in the hearts of many professional musicians. He has truly changed from relying on his vocal talent to being a talented and all-round singer who is good at singing and songwriting.
Green, who was eliminated by Adam and angrily criticized Adam for his loud voice, now sincerely applauded Adam and envied Adam's progress on this stage.
Sometimes it is not a bad thing to have a powerful enemy, as it can motivate you to make progress!
Green believes that if she faces talented contestants such as Wang Qian and Sophie on stage, her progress will be greater than Adam's.
Christine even whispered to Garbo: "Adam's gifts and talents are truly astonishing!"
Jiabao didn't understand much, so she just instinctively compared it and asked, "How about comparing it with Professor Wang Qian?"
Christine shook her head and said affirmatively, "There is no comparison. Professor Wang Qian's talent and strength in music are unique in the world. No one can compare with him. There is no comparison at all. Adam can only be compared with other people. I think his future achievements will not be much worse than mine."
"The contestants of this year's Voice of China are so incredibly strong."
Christine also had a sense of crisis and a strong sense of pride in her heart! In the past few years, she had almost no rivals in the European and American music scene. Only a few newcomers such as Ellie barely posed a threat to her, but only barely.
But now on this Voice of China stage.
Christine discovered that there were at least three or four opponents who could threaten her in the future.
Not to mention Wang Qian, who has already surpassed her in business achievements.
Garbo glanced at Adam and Sheena who were leaving the stage and said, "I'm not very interested in rap. I still hope Sophie and Elizabeth's performance will start soon. Professor Wang Qian's performance should start soon. Sophie should be next, right?"
Christine nodded: "Well, it should be Sophie..."
Both of them looked towards the stage with anticipation.
The rest of the audience watched Adam leave, then sat down again, looking toward the stage expectantly.
They all knew that Sophie was about to appear.
Sophie is also a contestant who has amazed the world on this stage. She is almost the most popular contestant after Wang Qian. Whether in terms of demonstrated strength or other aspects such as appearance, aura and temperament, she is second only to Wang Qian. At the same time, she is one level higher than other contestants, including Adam and Elizabeth.
When Jennifer came on stage and announced that Sophie was about to appear, the audience burst into warm applause.
In the lounge.
Wang Qian also clapped softly, looking at the TV screen with anticipation in his eyes.
Under the light, Sophie was wearing a slim black dress with her hair curled behind her head, which made her look a little more mature. Her face was lightly made up in a dark style. She looked like an elf walking out of the darkness, beautiful and mysterious. Once you see her, you can't help but fall in love with her and can't bear to look away, as if it would be a loss if you didn't look at her once.
The music starts!
Grand and restless background music sounded.
Everyone who understands music's eyes lit up.
Everyone can hear that this is an operatic Gothic rock song similar to Wang Qian's "She Is My Sin".
However, there are many more popular elements.
There is also Sophie's own unique style, which incorporates more classical elements, making it more grand and solemn.
It sounds more solemn and catchy.
Sophie looked up at the sky and sang her heavenly voice in a high-pitched voice!
The singing seemed to come from the sky, with a sense of ethereality, just like the feeling when Wang Qian sang "Dreams", but more intense and with a stronger sense of rhythm.
The lyrics are also very grand, this song is written with a classical legend as the background!
Plus the impactful accompaniment music.
Everyone was immediately attracted by the prelude, completely dispelling the shock and surprise brought by Adam's rap song just now.
Adam, who had not yet left, was standing backstage when he heard the song and looked at the situation. He looked a little distressed and whispered, "Sophie is such a formidable opponent. She is simply a musical spirit."
Adam was attracted by this song as soon as he heard it, and immediately felt ashamed of himself.
Of course, Adam has always had ideas about Sophie in his heart, and perhaps that is why he can frankly admit that he is not as good as Sophie.
Xina looked at Sophie with twinkling eyes, and roughly understood in her heart why Adam, who was so talented and capable, was struggling so much on this stage.
Even with her perspective as a woman, she couldn't help but be conquered and attracted by Sophie's powerful stage charm.
“She’s perfect!”
Sheena exclaimed in admiration.
Adam nodded, his eyes never leaving Sophie's figure, and murmured softly, "Who said it wasn't?"
Adam looked at Sophie with burning eyes.
Such a perfect goddess.
Who wouldn’t want to have it?
Adam did not leave, and said to Xiena: "Xiena, you can go and rest first, or go to the audience to watch the performance. I have reserved a seat for you. I will watch here for a while."
Xina looked at Adam's burning eyes and knew what Adam wanted to do, which was to pursue the goddess on the stage!
"Okay, Adam, come on."
Sheena joked, turned and left, entered the venue from the other entrance, and went to the audience to watch the performance.
Jennifer stood not far away and watched Adam staring at Sophie infatuatedly. She felt both funny and pitiful.
Adam has a sunny and handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and his looks are definitely at the level of a young and handsome boy. It is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the most handsome people in the music industry.
Coupled with Adam's own talent, he is almost irresistible to young women in North America.
but……
But.
On this stage, there is a being whose light is more dazzling than Adam’s, completely overshadowing his brilliance.
Jennifer had no intention of going up to talk to Adam, and just stood there watching the fun as a bystander.
She knew that Adam was definitely doing useless work and was simply a bootlicker who would never have a good end.
However, when she looked at Sophie on the stage, she couldn't help but admire in her heart - it was perfect! She was always confident, but she felt inferior to Sophie when she looked at her.
No wonder Adam was so obsessed.
Likewise, it's no wonder that even he was fascinated.
Jennifer's mind flashed with Wang Qian's figure, and she couldn't help but recall what happened just now when she forcibly dragged Wang Qian to the tool room. Her face couldn't help but turn red, and then she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, with a smug smile on her face.
This piece of work by Sophie is definitely a rare masterpiece. What is even rarer is that it incorporates multiple styles and unifies them without any sense of clutter, fully demonstrating Sophie's own talent and vocal gift.
The atmosphere on the scene gradually became heated.
When Sophie's performance ended, more than 20,000 people at the scene called out Sophie's name.
Many audience members were so excited that their faces turned red and they shouted loudly, just wanting Sophie to look at them.
Sophie remained calm, with only a slight smile on her face. She bowed slightly to thank everyone, then turned and left.
There was thunderous applause.
Jennifer came on stage and passed by Sophie, neither of them paying attention to each other.
Adam hurried over and congratulated Sophie with a big smile on his face, "Sophie, your performance just now was amazing. I worked so hard to get the audience to perform, and they were completely conquered by you."
Adam praised himself a little, thinking that based on his performance just now, maybe he was qualified to talk to Sophie? However...
Sophie just nodded slightly to Adam and said two words: "Thank you!" Then, she walked straight towards her lounge with her long legs, not wanting to pay any attention to Adam at all.
The only thing she was thinking in her mind was whether there was a chance that she would pass by Wang Qian's lounge and meet him when he came out?
Adam hurriedly caught up and said with a smile, "You're welcome. I just said what I really feel. By the way, there is a party in Beverly Hills tomorrow. It was initiated by Mr. Robert. The participants are all top musicians and singers in North America. I can bring a female companion. Would you like to go with me?"
This was the umpteenth time that Adam had invited Sophie. Even though he couldn't remember how many times he had been rejected, he still continued to send out invitations.
Various star parties, singer parties, celebrity parties, etc.
Adam tried them all.
pity.
Sophie didn't stop, and still didn't look at Adam, but just said lightly: "Thank you, I don't have time."
After saying that, Sophie glanced at Wang Qian's lounge. She didn't see Wang Qian leaving, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes. Then she nodded and smiled at Elizabeth who was walking towards her, and then walked straight into her own lounge.
Adam stood in the corridor and smiled awkwardly at Elizabeth, then quickly turned and walked towards his lounge, wanting to disappear quickly and hide his embarrassment.
However, Adam was not discouraged at all. He was thinking of new ways to invite Sophie and please her.
Sophie walked into the room, her hand trembled slightly as she picked up the phone, and she almost wanted to call Wang Qian.
However, she still held back! The applause continued...
Some of them were given to Sophie.
Even though Sophie has left the stage, many people still cannot forget her stunning appearance on the stage and the operatic classical rock song she sang with her heavenly voice.
Of course, some of the applause was given to Elizabeth when she walked onto the stage.
Elizabeth has now gained complete recognition from all over the world.
The best proof of this is that her single sales exceeded 60 million this week. Although it pales in comparison to Wang Qian’s explosive sales, she still gained a group of fans and supporters.
Her songs are suitable for listening to on repeat, and people who like them love them very much because they are very immersive.
Therefore, it is easy for her to gain a group of loyal fans.
When she appeared, many viewers around the world posted messages of congratulations and anticipation on social platforms.
And behind the scenes of the program.
A group of producers gathered together and kept an eye on the real-time viewership data.
Zhou Qinghua was among them, looking somewhat nervous and excited.
Ratings are their money, and money is their life.
"When Miyuki Nakamori and Asan competed, the highest audience was several billion thirty million, and the average audience was eight hundred and fifty million. Among them, the lowest audience for Asan was only more than five hundred million, and most of them were from the Asan region..."
"When Adam appeared, the audience rating increased to 1.15 billion."
"When Sophie appeared, the ratings increased again, reaching a peak of 1.46 billion. The increase was very obvious, and her popularity was very high."
"Elizabeth has just appeared. The audience is still influenced by Sophie. Now there are 1.2 billion people watching, and it is still slowly increasing. But it is unlikely to surpass Sophie. Elizabeth's appeal is weaker than Sophie's."
…
Constant analysis and data flow into their ears.
"The biggest reason why Elizabeth's single sales this week can surpass Sophie's last week is that she and Wang Qian appeared at the same time, and the audience was almost double that of Sophie's performance! So the sales have increased significantly. Elizabeth's sales and popularity have been raised by Wang Qian..."
"This time, everyone will perform at the same time. We will once again witness the difference in popularity and appeal. This is also the start of the second round of contestant rankings!"
…
Someone asked: "Wang Qian is about to appear. Is it possible to reach the audience rating of the last episode?"
The analyst quickly replied, "It's possible, but not certain! The starting point for this viewership is very high, but how high it can reach in the end depends on Wang Qian's performance. However, there is a great chance of reaching the 2 billion viewership of the previous episode, and there may even be a chance to exceed it. Everything is possible."
The producers of the show were all excited.
If the show can be watched by more than 2 billion viewers worldwide for two consecutive weeks, it means that this number of viewers is not a flash in the pan, but a stable number of viewers for their show! Once this stable number of viewers is recognized and accepted by the industry, the advertising revenue of their subsequent world competition performances will explode, and may set a record, which will be on par with the world's largest sporting event, the World Cup, or even slightly higher.
The person in charge, Oni, immediately shouted excitedly: "We will continue to increase our investment in publicity and build momentum. We must raise the audience number to the peak of last week and keep it from falling."
"There are still a few minutes until Wang Qian's performance. Hurry!"
The program team took quick action.
Elizabeth's performance was also very wonderful, still in her own style.
She is a mature independent singer and her own style has now become very successful.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Therefore, both she herself and the company behind her asked her to stick to this style, which can also distinguish her from Wang Qian and form her own unique style and label, so that she may go higher in the future.
The single she is singing now was also created by her in the past half month. It has the same style as the previous singles and is very emotional. It is very suitable for today's anxious young people to listen to. The description of love in it is very touching, and most young people in Europe and the United States will feel involved to varying degrees after listening to it!
So! The on-site reaction was not strong.
However, her performances have received a lot of support from all over the world.
Many comments supporting her can be seen on social media platforms in various countries, especially in the UK, where the voices supporting her are the mainstream at the moment.
but……
When Elizabeth's performance was over.
Social media platforms in countries around the world have become even more lively.
because……
Everyone knows.
Elizabeth's performance is over, so who will be the next to perform?
It was the player everyone was looking forward to, Wang Qian, from China.
Or you can call him Professor Wang Qian.
Similar remarks are everywhere on social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter in North America.
"I finally waited for Wang Qian. I've been listening to his songs this week, but I still want to see his live performance."
"Although Adam's rap was eye-catching, Sophie's singing was amazing, and Elizabeth's singing touched me deeply. However, I am still most looking forward to Wang Qian's performance. It seems like I have been waiting for him all along."
"My favorite rock is here."
"What will Wang Qian sing this time? I'm really looking forward to it."
"It is this sense of unknown that fascinates me. Before his performance begins, no one knows what he will sing or how he will sing it. I am very much looking forward to it. Because I know that he will definitely bring surprises, not shocks."
…
The most lively places are the major Chinese social platforms.
"Here he comes, here he comes, Professor Wang is finally here."
“The performances of the previous speakers all exceeded my expectations, but I am still most looking forward to Professor Wang. Professor Wang may be the biggest surprise.”
"To be honest, I didn't understand what they were singing and I couldn't do anything about English songs, but I still supported Professor Wang and sat in front of the TV waiting for his performance."
"I don't quite understand what they are singing, but Adam's rap has a strong sense of rhythm, which I like. Sophie's aura and appearance are simply invincible, and her singing voice is so beautiful, I like it the most. Elizabeth's slow-tempo emotional songs are incomprehensible..."
"Professor Wang is invincible."
"Wow wow wow... Professor Wang is here. I'm so excited that I can't sit still..."
…
Elizabeth walked off the stage amid applause. Seeing Wang Qian, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Juliet and others standing behind her, she smiled and said to Wang Qian, "Everyone is most looking forward to your performance."
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Your performance was already very good."
Elizabeth smiled without saying anything. She knew that she had already performed at her best level. She also knew how Adam, Sophie, Miyuki Nakamori and other contestants had been working hard to improve themselves in recent times.
But no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to shake Wang Qian's status and appeal on the stage.
Jennifer nodded to Wang Qian, then walked up and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, the most exciting moment is here. Professor Wang Qian, whom we are most looking forward to, is about to appear on stage. Let us welcome him with the warmest applause."
The entire audience applauded enthusiastically again.
Even Robert and the others applauded vigorously, no matter how they tried to boycott and attack Wang Qian, or how they tried to profit from Wang Qian's popularity. But from the perspective of musicians, they had some respect and recognition for Wang Qian.
Even though they have different positions, they have to admit that Wang Qian's musical talent and ability far surpass theirs.
Therefore, their applause was also serious and sincere.
Wang Qian went straight onto the stage with his band members without any entrance ceremony.
Jennifer smiled slightly, turned around and gave Wang Qian a warm hug, and whispered in Wang Qian's ear: "I didn't rinse my mouth, I ate it in my stomach. I said I'm willing to do everything for you, come on!"
After hearing this, Wang Qian's mind inexplicably thought of the inappropriate scene for children that he had experienced before the performance. His body immediately became restless. He hurriedly calmed himself down, reached out and patted Jennifer on the shoulder. Without saying anything to Jennifer, he just let go of her and waved to the audience.
The audience applauded even more enthusiastically.
Many audience members in the back row couldn't help but stand up and applaud excitedly.
Then, more and more audience members were led to stand up.
Some audience members in the front who didn't want to stand up had to stand up as well when they saw a large crowd of people standing behind them, and they continued to applaud.
The show hasn't started yet.
Wang Qian just took the stage with his band members, and the more than 20,000 audience members spontaneously stood up and gave him warm applause.
This is also the first time such a thing has happened on this stage.
Last week, Wang Qian's three classic rock singles in different styles really conquered them and also gained a large number of loyal fans.
There were many loyal fans at the scene.
Wang Qian also saw many familiar faces.
Liu Shengnan, Yu Jingruo, Li Qingyao, Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Qin Xuehong, Wang Jingyu and so on... as well as Xiao Dongmei in the inconspicuous corner, and Kristen, Garbo and so on in the front row.
They all stood up, smiling, and gave Wang Qian their warm applause.
Wang Qian took the microphone and said sincerely to everyone: "Thank you."
The applause gradually died down.
Jennifer did not take the opportunity to continue to hang out with Wang Qian, as that would seem strange. She distanced herself from Wang Qian and announced loudly, "Okay, the stage is handed over to Professor Wang Qian and his partners. I'm leaving first..."
No one cared that Jennifer was gone.
Everyone sat down again, staring at Wang Qian with great anticipation, hoping that Wang Qian could continue to bring them surprises and musical enjoyment.
The program producers backstage were cheering and surprised at this moment.
"When Elizabeth's show was at its peak, the worldwide viewership reached 1.35 billion, which was indeed not higher than Sophie's."
"But when her performance ended, the number of viewers began to rise rapidly. By the time Wang Qian appeared, the number of viewers had reached 1.7 billion."
"As of now, the number of viewers has officially reached 1.9 billion!"
"Okay, the number of viewers has exceeded 2 billion... Guys, we have achieved our goal, but I think Wang Qian will bring us even bigger surprises."
The staff of the program team hugged and cheered each other excitedly.
“God, that’s great.”
"Wang Qian is a gift from God to us. He himself is a miracle."
"Amazing Huaxia, amazing Wang Qian, Director Zhou, you are the biggest contributor to our program team."
Zhou Qinghua was complimented by several producers and was very excited.
After a brief celebration and cheer, everyone quickly looked at Wang Qian and others on the TV screen, looking forward to Wang Qian's next performance.
Just see.
Wang Qian and others on the stage were fiddling with musical instruments under everyone's gaze.
This was also the first time that Wang Qian prepared for a performance under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The musical instruments were neatly placed...
but……
Everyone discovered a strange scene.
That's it! Where's the drum set?
Wang Qian stood in front of the microphone, looking at everyone with a calm expression.
Jiang Yu stands in front of the keyboard and is ready to start playing at any time.
Juliet, Zhao Wei and He Fulin each held a guitar.
There is no drum set or bass! Where is Murong Yue?
Everyone sees.
The rock girl who also amazed the world, Murong Yue, with twin ponytails, stood in front of a drum and a medium-sized bronze bell. She still held drumsticks in her hands, but there was no drum set in front of her.
this……
What is it? Is it rock?
Even ordinary audiences who don't understand music can see the problem.
What is rock? Shake it up! Roll it up! The core of rock music is the bass and drums, two instruments with strong rhythm.
but……
On the stage today, there are no drums and bass, the two core instruments of rock music.
The musicians and singers all looked at each other, then stared at the stage in surprise.
The ten judges also frowned, thinking about something.
Of course no one would think that this was Wang Qian’s mistake.
No one would think so.
After all, Wang Qian has proven his absolute strength and talent in the field of rock through several consecutive performances.
So!
There is only one truth.
This is how Wang Qian will perform tonight.
Rock without drums and bass? Maybe he's trying something new in music? Adam sat on the sofa, frowned at the TV screen, and murmured in a low voice: "Hurry up and start!"
He also didn't believe that Wang Qian would mess up, and just wanted to quickly hear what Wang Qian's rock performance would be like without a drum set and bass.
On the other side, Sophie was sitting on the sofa in the lounge, staring at Wang Qian without blinking, with a hint of obsession in her eyes...
Under the confused, curious and expectant gazes of everyone.
Wang Qian's performance began.
Jiang Yu gently pressed the keyboard with both hands.
The music starts...
