46 Chapter 46
Results
If Deng Xu was more handsome, he might have won the favor of some people who are obsessed with looks, but in the impression of the public, he is just ordinary-looking and has no memorable features. In addition, almost everyone says that his singing talent is also mediocre, so apart from the attacks of some unknown people who are trying to muddy the waters, other audiences don’t actually have much impression of him.
So, when Deng Xu suddenly changed his look and went on stage, the audience in front of the screen suddenly noticed it.
[Was Deng Xu like this before? ]
【What's the matter with being a little handsome? 】
[The look has changed, definitely the look has changed! ]
[He even brought a guitar! I almost forgot, instruments are allowed in this show! Is he trying to get extra points for using an instrument?]
[Then he must have miscalculated. This trick only works on the average, uninformed audience. If it's played without accompaniment, it would only exacerbate his poor pronunciation...]
But after Deng Xu adjusted his seat and microphone, and the background music started, everyone realized that they were worrying too much.
Deng Xu did not intend to use only guitar accompaniment.
This time he chose another very famous song called "Stairs of Joy". The style of the whole song is very light-hearted and cheerful, and it is very popular among men, women, young and old in China. Although the lyrics are simple and catchy, the melody is a bit complicated.
The accompaniment music should be the guitar sound removed from the polyphony, and Deng Xu added it in on stage with his guitar.
Compared to his appearance half a month ago, Deng Xu and Feng Ruo are now like completely different people.
He was seen sitting on a high chair with a leisurely attitude, holding a guitar in his hand, looking up slightly towards the microphone, with his eyes lightly closed. As the background music sounded, he was ready to strum the guitar in his hand to join in the polyphony.
The instructors on the stage seemed to have sensed something and all focused their serious gazes on him, but he seemed oblivious.
Just when the background music's front tune was almost transitioned and it was time to add the guitar, the instructors' attention became more focused than ever.
Deng Xu lived up to everyone's expectations. At the right moment, once the guitar was plucked, it perfectly connected into the polyphony.
Everyone just vaguely felt that the tune he played seemed a little different from the original version, but they couldn't analyze it for the time being.
As the rhythm fast-forwards, we finally arrive at the main song part.
As soon as Deng Xu opened his mouth, everyone immediately realized something was wrong!
Except for Zhang Li, Chen Xiaodong, and Pei Yuanzhi who didn't understand, the other five mentors on the stage suddenly looked shocked.
The camera cuts to the contestants' backstage, and the other contestants, who thought the dust had settled, suddenly feel something.
In addition to Feng Ruo who looked calm, Jin Quan, Cai Lihua and others had also heard it.
“He changed the tune!!”
One sentence revealed the truth that no one had time to bring out.
The barrage also noticed the difference at this time.
What's going on?
[It sounds a little different]
Why is everyone so shocked?
An explanation was quickly given.
He pretended so well at first that I thought he was just playing the wrong note. I was about to complain, but I didn't realize he had changed the tune on purpose!
[Haven't you noticed? Once the tune changes, his slurred speech becomes completely unnoticeable!]
His original flaws were in his pronunciation and singing. Listening to him now, his pronunciation is still unclear, but it's incredibly harmonious with the melody. Even more remarkable is his singing, compared to when he was previously evaluated, is infinitely better!
[I originally thought he would be eliminated, but with his current skills, even if he can't make it into the top three, he'll definitely advance! ...]
After being reminded by the barrage, other viewers also began to listen carefully. Sure enough, even though they knew that Deng Xu's pronunciation was unclear, they would unconsciously ignore it under the mixture of guitar sounds. They only felt that the singing was pleasant and the joyful atmosphere was almost bursting out.
The audience at the scene had already been immersed in it. As the camera switched, many people on the screen began to sway their bodies and sing in chorus.
Although this song is loved by the whole nation, if someone changes the melody, it will easily make people feel uncomfortable. However, Deng Xu's changes and singing are perfectly combined. People who are familiar with the song are shocked, but outsiders just think it sounds good.
The whole song ends with a very light-hearted atmosphere.
After Deng Xu finished singing, he opened his eyes, stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you all for listening."
At this time, the atmosphere on the scene and in the barrage was completely different.
The mentors looked at him with extremely complicated expressions, and Yuan Minshan even looked directly and tentatively at Zhang Li and Chen Xiaodong.
Bi Yan also knew a little about music and could fully understand everyone's shock, so he asked in a guiding tone: "I can hear that the tune you played, Axu, is different from the original. Did you adapt it yourself?"
Deng Xu had no intention of hiding anything and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I made some changes to the original tune at the suggestion of Teacher Zhang Li."
Bi Yan looked at Zhang Li in shock, and it took him two seconds to regain his rhythm after being reminded by the director's earphone.
"Although I'm really shocked, our show still has to go on. Okay, now it's the mentors' turn to canvass for votes."
Zhang Li was still the one speaking. She held the microphone and looked at Deng Xu on the stage. "I told you before, if you can forge a path like I told you, you'll definitely be more than just a 'B' grade. Now I can assure you, you've undoubtedly reached an 'A' grade! I hope you won't slack off and keep working hard!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Deng Xu bowed deeply, and it was not difficult to see how much respect he had for Zhang Li.
When this scene appeared in the live broadcast room, the speed at which the barrage of comments refreshed was almost as fast as when Feng Ruo was singing.
Feng Ruo was extremely talented, so everyone could still accept what they heard, but Deng Xu's performance was truly unbelievable.
Who, after Zhang Li finished speaking, went to look up her comments on Deng Xu? I can't be the only one.
[What is a reversal?! This is a true reversal!]
[Everyone looks down on you, yet you are so ambitious! ]
All I can say is: Damn it, damn it, damn it!!
Am I the only one who thinks Zhang Li is even more impressive than Deng Xu? There are many good horses, but few good horse trainers! This is the first time I've had such a profound understanding of this saying!
Feng Ruo's rapid progress can be attributed to his talent, but what does it mean when another Deng Xu emerges?
[It is said that Chen Xiaodong's album was recommended by Zhang Li. I originally thought it was an exaggeration, but now I really believe it!]
[This is so awesome...]
After Zhang Li finished speaking, it was time for other mentors to give their comments.
Jiajia and the others were so shocked that they really had nothing to criticize, so they could only say, "Your singing has improved a lot!"
However, when it comes to Pei Yuanzhi and Yun Shang, the style of painting becomes quite different.
Although Pei Yuanzhi didn't quite understand, he could still understand by observing other people's expressions. Looking at their expressions, he could tell that Deng Xu had completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
After Yun Shang's explanation, he finally understood what happened.
However, Yun Shang's words also pointed out the key point.
So he directly repeated the comments: "Although your singing skills have indeed improved, I don't think covering up your flaws by changing the songs is the right path. If you want to be a truly top singer, talent is the top priority, but you obviously don't want to correct this flaw."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.
When Pei fans heard what their leader said, they also began to show up.
[That's right! You know you have flaws, but instead of trying to correct them, you resort to these devious methods.]
Do you really think Zhang Li, an actor who knows nothing, can lead you to a path to greatness? It's hilarious!
[I was thinking of telling him not to be led astray, but then I realized he wasn't a good prospect to begin with, so I let it go...]
The camera was facing the mentor's podium, and the audience also noticed that almost the moment Pei Yuanzhi finished saying this, Zhang Li sneered, then supported his face with one hand, no longer concealing the disdain on his face.
The program team originally asked the mentors not to bring in personal emotions, but instead did not remind them. Instead, they presented this scene directly in the live broadcast room.
And the popularity Zhang Li accumulated in this show finally erupted.
[Why do I think Zhang Li's expression is so cool? ]
We're the ones who are making people laugh to death, okay? An outsider who knows nothing is criticizing an expert who delivered two superb performances. I really don't know how a certain movie star has the nerve to say that.
"Their performance just now has completely proven that this approach is feasible, okay? Could it be that they're deliberately suppressing him because their team's 'last hope' is threatened?"
I'm really speechless about this certain fan. What do you mean by crooked ways? Do you understand this: it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!
Before watching this show, my impression of Zhang Li was all about the negative online rumors, and I thought Pei Yuanzhi was just a product of his fan marketing. But after watching this show, my impression of both of them was completely reversed.
[Sister Li’s expression vividly conveys to us that when people are speechless, they really want to laugh...]
Faced with the widespread ridicule of Pei Yuanzhi and support for Zhang Li, Pei fans wanted to refute but were afraid of being attacked and reported again.
In the live broadcast room, Bi Yan seemed not to notice Zhang Li's unusual movement and looked at the group with Yuan Minshan at the end.
Yuan Minshan did not have Pei Yuanzhi's arrogance or Yun Shang's old-fashioned style. She directly praised Deng Xu's performance.
"Contestant Deng Xu, honestly, after seeing your performance today, I almost want to retract my previous evaluation of you and re-grade you. I underestimated you and Teacher Zhang Li. To be able to improve to this point in just two weeks, your excellence is truly unquestionable! Keep it up! I look forward to seeing you perform even better!"
This warm-up made the atmosphere on the scene better again.
Bi Yan also announced, "At this point, all eight of our contestants have finished their performances today. Now it's time for the crucial voting phase. We'll replay all the contestants' performances on the big screen, followed by random voting from the audience jury and online. Please look at the big screen!"
At the staff's signal, Deng Xu left the stage and returned to the contestant backstage.
Their previous performances were also being replayed backstage.
From Jin Quan to Wu Jiajin, from Feng Ruo to Deng Xu.
Only by looking at everyone's performance together can we compare and determine who is better and who is worse.
If Feng Ruo was not there, everyone would only think that Jin Quan and Cai Lihua were the best, but when Feng Ruo came, it was a direct dimensionality reduction attack.
Before Deng Xu came on the stage, others thought the outcome had been decided, but Deng Xu became the unexpected dark horse.
The twists and turns here are much more exciting than the first season.
After watching the whole show, everyone finally analyzed their own rankings.
Under Bi Yan's chairmanship, the specially selected audience jury, all of whom have the ability to appreciate music, began to vote.
At this time, the big screen was also replaced with background data.
Feng Ruo rushed to the top with an overwhelming momentum, while Jin Quan, Cai Lihua and Deng Xu took the second to fourth places at about the same speed. The male singer from Yuan Minshan's team, who was behind Feng Ruo but kept singing, lagged slightly behind and ranked fifth. The Buddhist male singer from Jia Jia's group and the two singers from Pei Yuanzhi's group all fell behind.
Obviously, although the online voting has not yet been released, the elimination spots for this episode have basically been determined.
Sure enough, when Bi Yan initiated another online random vote, although the values changed slightly, the results did not change much.
Finally, Bi Yan announced the list of players who advanced: "Congratulations to our five players: Feng Ruo, Jin Quan, Cai Lihua, Deng Xu, and XX for successfully advancing. The ranking tournament for the top five will begin tomorrow."
"Please don't be discouraged for the remaining three contestants. Before the final of the show, we will hold a regular competition to eliminate contestants and return them to the qualifying position. The losing contestants can also challenge the other contestants to challenge the other contestants!"
"Okay, this program ends here. Thank you again...blabla..."
The episode only truly came to an end when Bi Yan began to recite his exit words.
This time, before the program even put the complete live video online, countless entries about the program had already appeared online.
[#Zhang Li designed the makeup for Feng Ruo#]
[#Shock! True heavenly music appears on "Sing Out Loud"! #]
[#Feng Ruo's superb voice#]
[#Feng Ruo, a voice kissed by God#……]
At first, it was all about Feng Ruo. When Deng Xu's performance ended, the online discussion about him quickly became heated.
【#Sing loudly to the real dark horse!#】
[#I bet no one expected this result#]
Deng Xu, a big shot
[#What kind of Midas Touch is Zhang Li? #……]
Not only did netizens upload some clips of Feng Ruo and Deng Xu's singing, they also used various exaggerated descriptions to describe this unique qualifying match.
They praised Feng Ruo and Deng Xu endlessly, and even mentioned Zhang Li, who was mentioned by both of them.
There were even netizens who were completely impressed by Zhang Li. They edited together Deng Xu's first appearance, Zhang Li's comments on him, Deng Xu's performance later, and the ridicule of Zhang Li by many people before and after the barrage until it became silent. It was simply a large-scale slap in the face scene.
Not only Feng Ruo and Deng Xu became famous overnight, but even Zhang Li was directly on the hot search list.
Many netizens heard the news and watched the first episode and the second episode that the program team finally released carefully.
They marveled at Feng Ruo's talent and Deng Xu's budding talent, but together, they admired Zhang Li even more.
[Oh my god! These two are like completely different people from their first appearance to their second appearance! How did Zhang Li come up with this makeup look for Feng Ruo?!]
[Not to mention anything else, just the fact that they were able to turn two amateurs into such a phenomenal reserve in just half a month, I have to bow down to Zhang Li and Ling Man.]
It's understandable that Feng Ruo's talent was immediately apparent, but weren't all the instructors optimistic about Deng Xu? Only Zhang Li, and only Zhang Li, accurately picked him out of the seven contestants!
[Who still remembers how everyone thought Zhang Li was just there to make up the numbers at the beginning?]
Although Zhang Li doesn't sing, with her abilities, even if she doesn't become an actress, she can still be a professional agent. Compared to her, Pei Yuanzhi is simply inferior.
Once someone starts comparing, naturally countless people will start comparing.
How on earth did Pei Yuanzhi have the nerve to stay in that position?
[I give in. This movie star is the one who’s really here to make up the numbers.]
[Isn't the funniest thing about this? The players whose teams were originally ranked fourth and fifth were successfully eliminated under the leadership of Pei Yuanzhi and Yun Shang. The elimination rate is only three out of eight. Is it that difficult for even one of these two players to advance?]
[Oh my god, the more I watch, the funnier it gets. Is this the power of a superstar and a movie star? ...]
Pei Yuanzhi and Yun Shang have quite a lot of fans. When they saw netizens starting to mock them, they swarmed over and started confronting them.
As the confrontation went on, it naturally escalated into name-calling.
Netizens will not tolerate this group of fans. The more they curse, the more fiercely netizens will mock them.
Seeing that it was about to turn into a big fight, Pei Yuanzhi and Yun Shang's agent rushed out to suppress it.
Although many comments were deleted after being reported, there are still many mocking comments about Pei Yuanzhi and Yun Shang appearing on various platforms.
When the reputation of the two was plummeting, Zhang Li suddenly became popular with an emoticon package.
It was after Pei Yuanzhi commented on Deng Xu that some netizens cropped out her sneer-faced expression, added the words - [When people are speechless, they really want to laugh], and posted it on various platforms.
Because the expression is so vivid, and even those making such an expression are stunningly beautiful, this expression was downloaded and saved by many people in a short time.
After being spread through social platforms, Zhang Li became completely famous.
Cheng Yu has been paying attention to the online developments and quickly guides people when something is wrong. Finally, when she saw Zhang Li's number of fans rising rapidly, she couldn't help but smile with relief.
-
The controversy and popularity naturally increased the popularity of "Sing Out Loud", and the number of people watching the live broadcast online on the second day reached a new high.
Because the ranking is closely related to the finals later, all the contestants except Deng Xu took their utmost care.
However, Feng Ruo still won the first place with her extraordinary voice.
Deng Xu kept Zhang Li's advice in mind. This time he did not fight for the first place. He just chose a song that suited him in advance and did not make any changes to the music.
The competition among other contestants was enough to attract people's attention. Although there were many ridicules on the Internet about him being "just so-so", Deng Xu didn't take it to heart at all.
With the ranking results coming out, the first episode of the second season of "Sing Out Loud" has come to an end.
Except for the initial period when he was still mentioned by people, a few days later, the online hot searches changed, and except for the emoticon package that was circulated, Zhang Li's popularity gradually disappeared.
At this time, the opening ceremony of "The Battle of Vientiane" was held in a place unknown to everyone.
The investment in "Battle of Vientiane" was huge, and the director insisted on using real scenes, so except for some scenes that had to be shot in the film and television city, most of them had to be shot in the wild.
Zhang Li plays a pair of twins. Although their separate scenes are not many, they add up to the entire middle and late stages.
In fact, the production team had already invited some actors into the crew for the purpose of training them in fighting scenes.
However, because Zhang Li was filming "Sing Out Loud", and the director recognized her martial arts skills, he agreed that she could delay training until she joined the crew and take advantage of the time when others were filming.
It just so happened that the first episode of "Sing Out Loud" ended and "The Battle of Vientiane" was about to start filming, so Zhang Li hurriedly explained some matters to Feng Ruo and Deng Xu, and then flew to the filming location.
After getting off the plane, they made various transfers. By the time they arrived at their destination, it was already very late, so Zhang Li just said goodbye to the director on WeChat, and then with the help of the director's assistant, he booked a room in the B&B to rest.
Because conditions did not allow for single rooms, Zhang Li asked others to find their own, and Cheng Yu lived with her.
After a good sleep, they were woken up by the alarm clock before dawn in the morning. They got up, washed up, and Ranran, who also got up early, put on makeup for them.
The morning of the second day after their arrival, the opening ceremony of "The Battle of Vientiane" was held.
Zhang Li asked the others to rest and only took Cheng Yu with him.
When they arrived, they found that many people from the crew had already arrived.
As Zhang Li's right-hand man, Cheng Yu needs to handle many things more carefully.
For example, when Zhang Li was busy with the assessment of Wan Cheng, Deng Xu and Feng Ruo, and the filming of "Sing Loudly", she had already understood the situation of "The Battle of Vientiane" clearly.
Zhang Li had not had time to pay attention to this matter before, and Cheng Yu felt sorry for her being so busy, so she did not start reporting to Zhang Li about the crew's affairs until she appeared on the scene.
"You should know the director of this drama, A Li, Chen Lin. He has a very good impression of you and is very kind. As long as you have the ability, he will never mess with you."
"The male lead, Deng Xunlong, is a veteran and talented actor. He is well-known in the industry for his good character and willingness to help others. He is a master in fighting scenes and has basically no negative news."
"Heroine..."
"What about the heroine?"
Cheng Yu continued, "It's said that Director Chen originally wanted to cast another actress as the female lead, but Suo Yun Entertainment seemed to have intervened, so the role fell to their top actress, Fu Haijing. I heard that she has a difficult personality, and you had quite a few scenes with her..."
Zhang Li's focus suddenly shifted. "You mean the top actress at Suoyun Entertainment? Fu Haijing?"
In the original novel, the one who unexpectedly retired from the entertainment industry with the top star of Suo Yun Entertainment, causing Suo Yun Entertainment to only be able to cooperate with Bang Entertainment?
