Chapter 413 It’s her!
The show "Road to the King of Songs" was finally about to officially begin. Screenshots of all seven singers holding microphones appeared on the screen, with the subtitles reading:
This competition is about to begin!
Of course, before the show even began, the production team sent out a famous commentator from CCTV to address the audience watching on TV, computers, and mobile phones: "Thank you to the title sponsor of 'The Road to King of Songs,' Kylin Technology, and its partners... (a series of sponsors) for their strong support of this show!"
This famous commentator read out the names of the sponsors very quickly, which has become a very funny joke.
At the same time, seven younger and more popular hosts from CCTV also appeared backstage. They will watch the performances of the seven singers and then compete for the position of their agent.
Among these seven hosts, male host Yu Kun and female host Han Bingbing are the most popular. The former is a top student at Capital University and is also the agent of the previous King of Singers. He has a good taste in music, excellent vision, and good eloquence, so he can persuade the previous King of Singers.
Han Bingbing is one of the most famous female hosts of CCTV on the Internet. Her smile is so healing, and "My heart is all Bingbing's" is also her exclusive meme. Many of her videos are very popular on Bilibili.
These seven CCTV hosts still don’t know who the seven singers are, so they are joking with each other and looking relaxed.
Next, the scene finally shifted back to the studio stage, and a voiceover appeared to further enhance the atmosphere:
"The microphone audio has been checked and there is no problem."
"Please make all necessary preparations."
"Recording begins."
"Attention Unit 1, prepare for close-up, Unit 2, prepare to receive..."
"15 seconds left before entry. All departments, prepare."
"Received, received. The artist has already left."
"Everyone, take your positions. Unit One, prepare for the full view. Unit Two, take the scene."
"The band has been called to the scene..."
The voice-over was later drowned out by the cheers of the audience, and the first singer to take the stage would not only sing but also serve as the host.
This is also an equally interesting point of the show "Road to the King of Singers". Some singers who have a strong sense of variety shows can make the hosting very interesting and can be called joke tellers.
When the first singer finally appeared, the camera naturally turned to the other singers——
"Gao Yu!"
"It's actually the sad song king Gao Yu..."
"Gao Yu's voice is very recognizable. I'm looking forward to it."
…
Gao Yu then sang his representative work "The Trouble is Caused by the Sun", which aroused cheers from the audience. During the performance, the audience also sang along.
"The Road to the King of Singers" likes to shoot shots of the live audience, and the way these carefully selected audiences listen to the songs is also very contagious. When they hear their favorite songs, singing along is just basic operation, and it is also common for them to listen to the songs and burst into tears.
Although this sad song, Wang Gaoyu's representative work, is not the type that is exciting and explosive when performed live, it is very classic and widely sung. It is a song that music fans in their thirties and forties are very familiar with. They even often order it when they go to KTV to sing.
Like Wang Yangdong, a middle-aged businessman who was watching the show with great interest at the time, he was extremely surprised when he heard the song. He even hummed a few lines of "It's all the sun's fault."
After Gao Yu finished his fairly good performance, he bowed to the audience and took the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I'm singer Gao Yu. I'm honored to be invited to participate in the Qilin Technology program "The Road to the King of Songs." I also took on the hosting role."
Gao Yu spoke word by word, which was very interesting and attracted cheers from the audience.
"I originally thought that taking on the hosting job was a guarantee that I would win the championship... (because the last singing king also happened to be in charge of hosting)" Gao Yu said this, and the audience was amused again.
"But when I saw the list of all the singers, I felt not only ashamed, but also a panic that I was about to be eliminated, because every singer who came here really can sing too well... Today I am the first singer competition of this season. Seven singers will perform their own works. The singer with the fewest votes after two weeks of cumulative votes will be replaced. I implore you to remember the first singer, whose name is Gao Yu. This is the single greatest benefit of being a host, you can canvass for votes for yourself. Do you remember what song I just sang... Some of you may have forgotten, so please remember me again. Thank you!"
Gao Yu, who turned into a joke teller, made the audience laugh and heated up the atmosphere. The audience who were watching the show in front of the TV also felt that this sad singing king was really funny. His hosting added a lot of color to this season of "The Road to the King of Singers".
"Tonight's second contestant is the fastest-rising female singer of the new generation in the Chinese music scene. She's created the Chinese style trend, is a superb writer and singer, and she's... please welcome her with applause!"
When Gao Yu introduced them like this, some of the other singers in the lounge had already reacted.
Mainly because I heard the word "Chinese style", which is exactly Gu Qingge's trademark!
Li Jie, another rising generation singer, couldn't help but excitedly exclaim, "It's Gege! I'm a huge fan of hers, and I never thought I'd have the honor of competing on the same stage with her!"
An Mingxun, who had always looked aloof, saw his expression change visibly. A smile finally appeared on his face, and he said, "Gu Qingge is here as expected. I have always admired her stage performance."
Even the Queen of Heaven, Yang Xiaolian, looked as if she had found her prey. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "It must be Gu Qingge. I really like her "Blue and White Porcelain". I never get tired of listening to it."
Chao Ge, the songwriting king of Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards, also said excitedly in a Taiwanese accent: "Gu Qingge, it turned out to be her! She is really good at writing!"
The only remaining national-level senior singer, Liu Nan, once nicknamed "The Number One in the Music Industry," subconsciously asked, "Who is this?"
Liu Nan is a super talented singer who has sung theme songs for many big-budget movies. He has appeared on many music programs as a judge. This time he came to "The Road to the King of Singers", which really felt like a god descending to earth.
It was normal that he didn't know Gu Qingge because he lived a secluded life and didn't pay attention to the pop music scene.
As a result, his question "Who is this?" actually caused criticism from the barrage. Some barrages scolded him for being pretentious, saying that he didn't even know Gu Qingge. Other barrages said that they had no idea who this person was, but that didn't stop them from disliking his senior appearance.
At the same time, the management team of CCTV hosts also became excited and instantly turned into fans.
"Gu Qingge, don't fight with me for it, I want to be her manager!"
"I'm a fan too. I didn't expect her to be in this season!"
"I guess she'll choose to sing 'Blue and White Porcelain'..."
"I think she will definitely choose to sing new songs. Her creative ability is so strong."
"Gu Qingge, yyds!"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, stop arguing. I always watch Gu Qingge's performances with reverence!"
"That's so exaggerated! Gu Qingge is so popular!"
