Chapter 455 454. The change of history begins with Wang Qian's participation in the competition! (Subscribe)
Since his debut, Wang Qian has been redefining rock for the new era, while also paying tribute to classic rock genres of the past, making many rock genres that have been lost in time bloom again on the world stage.
It can be said to be a culmination of the past and the future. Each of his works is as good as the representative works of the top ten bands in the history of rock and roll. He can be said to be the rock god of the new era.
It’s really not an exaggeration at all.
The last time someone proposed this title, there was some controversy, with veteran top band members and some veteran fans expressing opposition and even disdain for it.
But as the past few weeks passed, as Wang Qian achieved more and more incredible results in the field of pop music, those voices of opposition disappeared.
Some people say that Wang Qian's rock music is old-fashioned and out of tune with the music of the new era. But it is undeniable that in the history of rock music, it can be ranked among the most classic rock works.
so……
When Jennifer once again raised the point here that Wang Qian is the God of Rock, there was only applause at the scene.
Even the 20 to 30 billion viewers outside the venue felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Social media platforms in various countries were full of support and praise, and no one in the industry openly opposed it...
Although Wang Qian's song Zombie was not as amazing as the first time they heard Wang Qian sing Dreams, it also made everyone extremely satisfied. This song was more popular in the market, not only because the theme was more in line with reality, but also because of the rock elements and Wang Qian's unique singing voice, which made everyone who heard it unable to stop.
The warm applause lasted for nearly a minute.
It gradually calmed down and everyone sat down slowly, with excitement still on their faces.
Then, everyone's eyes turned to the ten judges sitting in the front.
Among the ten judges, nine of them looked at Cui Wenfeng who was sitting in the first position. Cui Wenfeng is now the undisputed first judge. The program team has arranged a special assistant and translator for him. He has participated in several talk show variety shows of the sponsoring TV station. The musical literacy and rock style he demonstrated have been loved and recognized by everyone.
Cui Wenfeng looked at Wang Qian and said excitedly, "Professor Wang's performance today was beyond our expectations. We never thought that you could sing such a beautiful alternative rock song with a voice that is obviously different from your own. I have to say that you really play with voice and rock thoroughly."
Cui Wenfeng's words made all the experts at the scene nod in agreement immediately.
They all wanted to dissect Wang Qian's throat to see whether it was a real flesh and blood voice or a voice changer?
Wang Qian has perfectly demonstrated what the best voice in the world is with his voice...
There was a moment of applause.
Wang Qian smiled faintly and said to Cui Wenfeng: "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Feng."
Cui Wenfeng hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I didn't praise you. I am not qualified to comment or praise you. I am just expressing my personal feelings. If I were to give you a score, I would definitely give you full marks, otherwise it would be unfair to my ears. Thank you for the wonderful performance you brought us..."
Cui Wenfeng spoke to Wang Qian with an extremely sincere tone and expression.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Brother Feng, you are too polite."
Cui Wenfeng finished his brief scoring and evaluation, and everyone looked at the French judge sitting in the second seat.
The French judges had complicated expressions.
He didn't want to give Wang Qian a high score, so he naturally supported Sophie to win the championship.
But……
From a musical perspective, he really couldn't find any details that would deduct points.
The ability to change the voice and control it perfectly is enough to get full marks.
Not to mention such a perfect rock performance, which is in no way inferior to any of Wang Qian’s previous works that have been regarded as classics by rock fans.
So, he pondered for a moment, and chose to be more rational and speak the truth: "To be honest, I don't want to give you full marks. However, after thinking about it carefully, I found that I really can't find any place to deduct points, and I am not qualified to deduct points from Professor Wang Qian's performance and voice..."
"So, I can only give you full marks."
Another perfect score, and it was given by a direct competitor. Now everyone at the scene knew that Wang Qian's professional score for the first performance was probably perfect. Sparse applause broke out, and it was the applause from many domestic audiences who came to support Wang Qian! The remaining judges were now pure tools, and there was no way they would deduct points to offend Wang Qian and the huge number of fans behind him.
As expected, Ceci said directly: "I can only give it full marks. I can't think of any reason to deduct points. I really like the theme of this song. I hope there will be no war, no killing, and no bloodshed in this world..."
Sisi sold his anti-war image, which drew applause from the audience. Many big-name singers from the European and American entertainment circles gave him a thumbs-up to express their support for Sisi's anti-war ideas.
Almost all public figures in the entertainment industry publicly express their opposition to war and killing, so that they can gain more likes and support from ordinary people.
Therefore, if Ceci supports the anti-war theme of this song, it will definitely attract a wave of popularity and fans.
Several subsequent judges expressed their support for Wang Qian, and all of them gave him full marks.
They will have to stay in this circle in the future, so it is impossible for them to do anything weird at the last minute. Doing so will not only offend Wang Qian and his fans, but will also cause conflicts with the program crew.
Although it was already the last game and the production team no longer cared whether Wang Qian was eliminated, they still hoped to continue to create this myth and let the first season of The Voice of China World Championship come to a perfect end, creating a legendary figure who would go down in history, and their entire production team would also go down in history.
The ten judges will also benefit greatly.
so……
No one did anything weird, and everyone gave relatively rational evaluations and scores.
"I want to say that Professor Wang Qian is more qualified to sit here as a judge and watch my performance. I dare not comment on his performance casually. I can only give him full marks. Professor, your performance is amazing..."
…
"When watching Professor Wang Qian's performances, there are always surprises. No one knows where his ceiling is, but I give him full marks."
…
“There is no choice but to get full marks.”
…
No one was surprised by this score.
Whether it was the judges who gave the scores, or the eight eliminated contestants sitting nearby as spectators, as well as other big-name stars and celebrities and ordinary audiences, they all felt that this was natural.
It seems that Wang Qian should be given full marks for his performance on stage.
No one is qualified to deduct points from Wang Qian.
Not here, not anywhere in the world.
This impression of being taken for granted has already been formed in many people's minds.
Jennifer announced loudly: "Congratulations to Professor Wang Qian for his first performance, and for getting full marks in his professional field. Let's take a break, our second contestant Sophie's first performance is about to begin..."
The audience applauded again.
Wang Qian led the band members to bow slightly in thanks, and left amid the applause. He smiled and nodded to some familiar faces in the front row, such as Christine, Robert, etc.
Christine waved her arms wildly at Wang Qian as if she had seen a fan of her idol. She only gradually calmed down after seeing Wang Qian turn around and leave.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Juliet and others were not too excited about this result, but were more excited about this stage. After all, this kind of stage is unique in the entire history of pop music.
Today's performance will definitely go down in history!
Walk off the stage.
Wang Qian saw Sophie standing behind him.
Sophie was standing tall and graceful in a black dress, looking sacred and dignified, like a goddess from a European myth. She nodded slightly to Wang Qian and said with a smile, "It was an amazing rock performance. But I won't give in easily..."
Wang Qian smiled slightly: "I am looking forward to it."
Sophie looked at Wang Qian with a smile in her eyes. There was a hint of happiness in the depths of her eyes, as if she was the happiest person in the world and had obtained everything she wanted.
but……
Sophie woke up immediately.
She knew it was just her fantasy.
However, she did feel a sense of happiness in her heart to be able to perform on stage alone with Wang Qian.
In the future, this performance will be recorded in history, and her name and Wang Qian's name will be remembered by everyone and recited by everyone. Her and Wang Qian's story will never be forgotten.
In comparison...
Even Qin Xuerong, who was standing behind Wang Qian, didn't seem to have the same treatment.
Therefore, Sophie has a unique sense of happiness in her heart.
After passing by Wang Qian, Sophie looked at Jiang Yu, Juliet and Murong Yue again. When she looked at Jiang Yu and Juliet, her eyes became a little serious.
Ma Long appeared beside Sophie, looked at Wang Qian who was leaving, and said seriously: "Are you ready? Don't mess up!"
Sophie smiled brightly: "No, I will only be more devoted! Let's go..."
As she spoke, Sophie took her father's hand and they slowly walked onto the stage together.
The applause at the scene became even louder.
Everyone was obviously surprised when they saw Marlon and Sophie, father and daughter, appear together.
The program crew was extremely secretive and did not reveal any information in advance.
As Sophie's performance shocked the world, Marlon, a world-class artist, became known to everyone, adding to Sophie's musical and artistic aura.
In comparison, Wang Qian came from a grassroots background and was self-taught, but his achievement of world-class level makes him even more legendary. This is also one of the reasons why many ordinary passers-by support Wang Qian and buy his works. They see their own ordinary past in Wang Qian.
Ma Long's appearance made Sophie's halo more dazzling and more attractive! The program team found that after Wang Qian left the show, the ratings did not drop too much, but only dropped from the peak of 3.7 billion people to about 3 billion. This is already an extremely surprising data. He is also the only player besides Wang Qian who can maintain such a high ratings.
Jennifer also clapped softly, then stepped forward again to give Sophie a hug and said loudly: "Welcome Sophie and Mr. Malone, and the musicians from the Royal Orchestra of France..."
A light appeared in a dark area on the stage, and well-dressed men and women holding musical instruments walked in and sat down in the accompaniment area at the back. Each of them had an obvious musical and artistic aura.
Many of Sophie’s previous accompaniment team members were from the Paris Conservatory Orchestra. In terms of artistry, they were already unique on this stage. There were no flaws in their performances, and each performance was extremely perfect.
Many people have said that the accompaniment team behind Sophie has made a great contribution to her success.
However, on the final stage, Sophie's accompaniment team was even more famous, with many core members of the French Royal Orchestra and live accompaniment from Ma Long, one of the top ten pianists in the world.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This kind of treatment...
It is also the only one in the entire history of pop music.
At the same time, it is also the most globally watched stage for classical music performers in decades.
The most watched stages that big-name classical music artists have performed on before were at most the Oscars or the Grammys, which may have been the best stages in the past, but their ratings were several orders of magnitude lower than those of today's world competitions.
Malone himself has never even been to the Oscars or Grammy stages, so facing such a crowded scene, he felt a little excited.
He felt a little proud of his daughter Sophie. All the dissatisfaction he had felt because of Sophie's involvement in pop music and her unclear relationship with Wang Qian disappeared at this moment.
Sophie is an adult now, let her make her own choice.
When the applause ended.
The band members behind are also ready.
All the audience were shocked when they saw this scene. It was as if they were at a large orchestra's performance, as if they were watching a large-scale music concert instead of a pop music variety show...
The sense of class at the scene was instantly improved.
Jennifer was a little worried about Wang Qian, so she said to Malone, "Mr. Malone, what do you think of Professor Wang Qian's performance?"
Ma Long said directly: "Very good. Although I practice classical music, I know that there is no difference in the essence of music. I admire Professor Wang Qian's achievements in the field of rock music! In fact, his talent and strength in classical music are also better than mine."
In public, Ma Long also spoke well of Wang Qian, openly acknowledging that Wang Qian's talent and strength in classical music were superior to his.
Jennifer continued to ask: "Then you and Sophie are confident that you can eliminate Professor Wang Qian and win the championship?"
Ma Long laughed and said, "Once on stage, every performer will have absolute self-confidence. As for the final result, it's up to everyone. We just want to present the most exciting performance to everyone..."
Ma Long showed the qualities of a seasoned veteran and gave a flawless answer.
Jennifer looked at Sophie, who was standing quietly beside her like a goddess. She blushed and her heart beat fast as she thought of something. She quickly said, "Sophie, are you ready?"
Sophie nodded affirmatively: "Ready!"
After saying that, Jennifer slowly exited and left the stage.
Everyone looked at the grand scene on the stage with anticipation.
Malone walked to a piano in the back and sat down.
Sophie stood in front of the microphone in the center of the stage.
music……
It rang immediately.
A solemn and heavy symphonic feeling hits me.
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
It was like watching a hymn from heaven.
Sophie was in the middle, a beam of light fell on her, like a goddess descending from the sky, singing her own song into the microphone.
The singing was as beautiful as ever, and paired with the background music and the atmosphere of the scene, her voice seemed to come down from the sky.
Ethereal, graceful, and a little sacred! The theme of the song is to praise the good life, which complements the atmosphere.
The ten judges looked at each other and felt tremendous pressure and disbelief.
In their opinion, Sophie's current performance is definitely the best in the world. It combines classical and pop music, which is also her musical feature. It is definitely far beyond the strength and level of the judges.
The eight players sitting off the field also had gleaming eyes, and each of them was greatly shocked.
Adam clenched his fists excitedly, and couldn't bear to look away from Sophie. He wanted to rush up to Sophie and confess his love to her, but he felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Sophie's attitude towards him.
Miyuki Nakamori was slightly shocked, knowing that Sophie was performing better at this moment than the last time she competed with her.
If Sophie had performed like this last time, she would not have been able to compete with Sophie and would have been eliminated quickly! She had to admit that Sophie's overall musical quality and talent were above hers and second only to Wang Qian.
After all, many European and American media have predicted that Sophie will be the only singer who can compete with Wang Qian in the future.
Because Sophie is the only one who excels in both pop and classical music, and has a similar musical foundation to Wang Qian.
No one else can do that! The performance was going on and the place was in complete silence.
This solemn and dignified music is accompanied by the goddess's heavenly song.
No one dared to disturb this sanctity, fearing that they would be punished by God.
Wang Qian returned to the lounge and sat quietly beside Qin Xuerong, watching Sophie's performance, feeling extremely impressed and shocked.
Sophie is truly the most talented musician he has ever met in both worlds! If he hadn't appeared, Sophie's light would definitely shine on the world, even history!
but……
Wang Qian thought that Sophie had originally withdrawn from the French competition, but later continued to participate in the world competition because of him, and his emotions became even more complicated.
There is a sense of trance that influences the course of history.
If he had not participated in the competition, Sophie would have withdrawn from the French competition. Then the best contestants in this Voice of China World Championship might be Adam, Elizabeth and Miyuki Nakamori, and Adam would most likely win the championship.
Then the World Championship will also be such a huge success.
Now…Adam had long been eliminated, and the Worlds had reached incredible heights.
The cause was Wang Qian’s participation in the competition.
Murong Yue, Jiang Yu, Juliet and the others all looked serious as they watched the performance with a hint of shock in their eyes.
It was the first time for them to hear and see such solemn and beautiful pop music!
Juliet murmured under her breath, "She's really amazing!"
Then, she looked back at her teacher Wang Qian, and admired him even more.
A genius like Sophie was always suppressed by her teacher.
The show is over...
There was an explosion of applause at the scene.
Wang Qian also stood up and clapped softly, praising: "It's wonderful, really wonderful..."
Unfortunately... he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
That is, although such music looks very shocking, sounds beautiful, and gives people a sense of holiness, solemnity and dignity, its audience will not be too wide.
Because this is not pure pop music anymore.
It lacks the most core elements of pop music - entertainment and life.
Qin Xuerong and the others were serious, with a hint of worry.
However, Wang Qian remained calm, gave Qin Xuerong a gentle hug, and set off again with the band members! His second performance was about to begin.
At the scene, the judges also began to score and evaluate Sophie...
