Chapter 233 Sister, let's not be a middle school student, okay? (Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!)
Yi Xiaobo's lyrics for this folk song are very good, and they fit the theme of "reunion" very well. He is indeed one of the best of the younger generation in the singer-songwriter circle. Lin Fan feels that Tianlai has really put a lot of effort into inviting guests this time.
Especially when Yi Xiaobo was sitting on the stage holding a guitar, he seemed to be telling stories happening around everyone. The feeling of telling stories of youth memories, separation and reunion was very intimate, and the audience felt very involved. After the song was finished, he received warm applause from the audience.
It’s a pity that Yi Xiaobo’s opponent is Liu Zhengyan.
When Lin Fan saw Liu Zhengyan take out an erhu from the case, he trembled all over and was extremely glad that his opponent was not Liu Zhengyan.
As the saying goes, among all musical instruments, suona is the king.
Either ascend to heaven or get married.
A pipa can be played for a thousand years, a zheng can be played for ten thousand years, and an erhu can be played for a lifetime.
A song that can use an instrument like the erhu, plus the theme of "reunion" specified by Liu Zhengyan, Lin Fan couldn't help but light candles for Yi Xiaobo and the next group of performing guests.
Liu Zhengyan's outfit today was also very appropriate for the occasion. He wore a long gown and a mandarin jacket, and sat on the stage like Yi Xiaobo. He placed the sound box on the base of his left leg close to his lower abdomen, and lightly supported the neck of the instrument with the base of his left hand. His thumb was naturally slightly extended, and the other four fingers were in an arc shape with his fingertips pressed slightly downward on the strings. He drew the bow with his right hand, and the unique tone of the erhu fell into everyone's ears.
The dense and long-lasting timbre is appropriate and delicate, lingering and yet decisive and neat, like an ancient and mysterious ballad, gently rippling in the blue sky and in the quiet ancient alleys.
Like a cup of strong black tea or a glass of mellow red wine, it slowly tells a story called "Old Friends".
This was the first time that Lin Fan heard an erhu performance live. The elegant, mournful and sad sound of the erhu was extremely penetrating, quietly plucking people's heartstrings, bringing tears to their eyes and moving their hearts. It was like a pool of starlight filled with warmth and sorrow, sparkling and glittering in their hearts.
At the end of the song, the audience, who were immersed in the music, did not free themselves from the joy of reuniting with old friends and the sadness of the passing of time until Liu Zhengyan stood up and bowed, and burst into warm applause.
"It's so beautiful! When Liu Zhengyan sang it, it was really amazing. I completely forgot what Yi Xiaobo sang before!"
"This is simply a crushing defeat. They are not even on the same level at all. How can we compare?"
"Light up the candle for Yi Xiaobo. Last time he appeared after Hui Qiaodan, and now he has become Liu Zhengyan's opponent. The most miserable person in "The Voice of China" is fresh out of the oven."
…
As for voting, is it even worth looking at?
Instead, Liu Zhengyan encouraged Yi Xiaobo: "I took advantage of the situation this time. I have been polishing this piece for many years, while you only had one week. But your song "Not Returning Until Drunk" is already very complete, which is better than mine."
After all, Liu Zhengyan is older and his creative energy is not as good as before, so he must enter the winner group in every competition and get the right to designate a theme, otherwise it will be difficult for him to complete an excellent work within a week.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Liu Zhengyan does not have a finished song or semi-finished material for the theme specified by others, and needs to write a song from scratch.
Yi Xiaobo felt a little better. "Actually, I never thought about competing with you, Teacher Liu. I wrote this song just hoping to get some comments from you. If I can get some advice from you, I'll be lucky."
“We are all creators, and we learn from each other.”
…
The second group was supposed to be Jiang Yuhe and Cen Miaoxue, but the director team temporarily changed the order, letting Liang Ben and Wei Kai go first, Jiang Yuhe and Cen Miaoxue later, and as for Hui Qiaodan and Lin Fan, they were naturally the last to go on stage.
The theme of Liang Ben and Wei Kai's group was inner monologue. Wei Kai sang a pop song. Perhaps influenced by the comments of other guests on his songs during the previous recording, Wei Kai abandoned elements such as rap and electronic music, which made the whole song more popular.
But I don’t know if it’s because Wei Kai debuted as an idol in a neighboring country, or for some other reason, but the whole song has a neighboring country style, and sounds like a directly translated pop song from the neighboring country, rather than a domestic pop song.
Yi Xiaobo, who had finished his performance and relieved of his psychological pressure, said casually: "This style of music should not get many votes, right?"
“It’s hard to say, it depends on the audience’s reaction.”
And what kind of songs Liang Ben will bring.
Although the 400 audience members on the scene were carefully selected by the program team, including people from all walks of life and all ages, it has to be said that young people still make up the vast majority. After all, people at this stage are the largest audience group for music.
Although Wei Kai's songs have the style of neighboring countries, he abandons the more exaggerated music style of idol singers and focuses on making a simple but not simplistic pop song, which is still very popular with the public.
Liang Ben performed a rock song, which was also a song with a very personal style. It had a classic rock style, a classic band interpretation, and a classic performance style. The scene was very explosive, but in the end he did not get much more votes than Wei Kai.
Liang Ben VS Wei Kai, 197 to 191, 12 people abstained from voting.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“Only 6 votes…” The audience who were voting were all surprised, not to mention the guests themselves.
The difference of 6 votes is really small. Maybe there was just a tiny mistake in the performance, and the result could have changed completely.
Wei Kai was very satisfied with the result, which showed that his direction was correct. Liang Ben's face was not very good, because it showed that the song he chose, or the style of music, might not be as popular as he thought.
The third group was Jiang Yuhe and Cen Miaoxue. Well, Cen Miaoxue had a natural advantage due to the events of the past few days. With this advantage, she successfully entered the winners group with a relatively large vote gap. Jiang Yuhe also became the first guest to enter the losers group from the top four.
However, Jiang Yuhe was not discouraged. After all, it was not his fault. Cen Miaoxue had the public's sympathy, so he was mentally prepared. As for the audience voting based on their mood instead of being fair and just as the program team promised, isn't this normal? Otherwise, why do those programs love to play the victim so much? Isn't it just to win sympathy points?
Finally, it’s the last group.
After Hui Qiaodan finished hosting, she came out from the backstage passage and said to Lin Fan who was standing there: "I am looking forward to the songs you will bring. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Lin Fan's scalp was numb with embarrassment.
Sister! Is it not okay for me to call you sister? Can you please stop making such a shameful and immature statement? You are over 30 years old, not 18!
