Chapter 476 It’s all bubbles
There is no doubt that this season of "The Road to the King of Singers" is the most watched season in recent years!
In previous years, when the show reached the semi-finals, everyone was actually more keen on discussing which singer would have the last laugh and win the title of "King of Singers" among the singers who remained on the stage.
But this season, because of the appearance of Gu Qingge, a top star with beauty, talent and strength, she completely regards this program as her own song release platform. Every new song is so popular and can satisfy the gossip desires of various analysts. Therefore, the topic discussion about this program has basically gone awry.
Some loyal viewers of the show said that it doesn’t really matter whether there is a singing king this season or not. They just want to listen to Gu Qingge’s new songs and then watch the show with great interest.
Then, fans of Gu Qingge also said that although "The Road to the King of Singers" is indeed a relatively fair music competition variety show with less shady dealings, in fact, seniority is still very important, which can be seen from the candidates for the King of Singers in the previous seasons.
Even though Gu Qingge has competed in so many episodes and her ranking has never fallen out of the top three, many people predict that her final ranking will probably be third. Ahead of her, of course, are the queen of singing Yang Xiaolian and the senior singer Liu Nan.
For music competition variety shows like this, there will often be all kinds of rumors leaked before the finals begin, saying that so-and-so has been selected as the king of singers, and then there will be all kinds of conspiracy theories.
There is a conspiracy theory on the market now, which is -
"Gu Qingge actually knew before joining the show that she had no chance of winning, so she simply let herself go and expressed herself however she wanted. Even if she didn't win, it didn't matter. After all, she was the most dazzling star of this season of 'Road to the King of Singers.'"
"In the beginning, Gu Qingge also wanted to become the singing king, so she chose to sing all kinds of difficult songs. Later, she became more open-minded, and coupled with her emotional setbacks, she later wrote those love songs that make people want to cry."
Once such a conspiracy theory emerges, netizens naturally have different opinions.
"Conspiracy theories are bullshit. From a purely musical perspective, or in terms of singing ability, Gu Qingge is the strongest singer this season. In the face of absolute strength, if 'Road to the King of Songs' can't be objective and fair, then this show shouldn't even be held!"
"Regardless of whether or not Gu Dacai wins the championship, she will always be a superstar in my mind. She alone can create the future of Chinese pop music because her creative ability is so strong!"
"While other singers play it safe by opting for familiar old songs, Gu Qingge is forging ahead with one high-quality new song after another, an unprecedented display of confidence. Regardless of whether she ultimately becomes the king of singing, she will always be the queen in my heart."
"As a member of the audience who was lucky enough to participate in the recording of the semi-finals, I want to say that the talented Gu will always be a god. No matter what song she sings in the finals, her performance in the semi-finals is already enough to make her a god. Wait until this episode is broadcast, and you will understand!"
…
Before the semi-finals of "The Road to the King of Singers" were aired, the audience's curiosity had actually been piqued. First of all, everyone wanted to see which song Gu Qingge would use to express himself after "Love Is Not a Crime". Secondly, before this episode was aired, various rumors broke that Gu Qingge's stage performance in this episode was simply amazing!
Then the production team of "The Road to the King of Singers" also understood this very well. In the previews and behind-the-scenes footage, they focused on editing some of the audience's reactions when they listened to Gu Qingge's singing, and of course the reactions of the host and other singers.
Their reactions were all exaggerated without exception. One audience member in particular actually burst into tears!
The time finally came when the semi-finals of "The Road to the King of Singers" were broadcast, and then everyone knew that Gu Qingge's new song was called "Bubble".
As soon as "Bubble" came out, it was like a hurricane, sweeping across the country!
So much so that on the same day, Gu Qingge's other alias [Yu Meiren] also released a new song, but it has not attracted anyone's attention yet because everyone is still deeply trapped in the "bubble" cycle and cannot extricate themselves.
The song "Bubble" is really addictive. It is the kind of song that makes people feel particularly amazing the first time they listen to it, and then they play it on repeat endlessly. The more they listen to it, the better it becomes, and they never get tired of listening to it... If it is coupled with Gu Qingge who is like a fairy on the stage and has an extremely perfect appearance, the lethality can only be described as shocking!
The most important thing is that when "The Road to the King of Singers" reached the semi-finals, many passers-by who did not watch every episode originally also started to get into it. This is actually very understandable. It is just like people who don’t pay attention to sports or football on weekdays, but when it comes to the Olympics and the World Cup, they all become fans and participate.
As mentioned before, the show "Road to the King of Songs" is the most authoritative and influential music event in China. At this point, no matter what kind of online audience you are, you will choose to participate, and even post your thoughts on the show on your Moments to show that you are paying attention to current affairs, and your fashion sense is high enough.
Wei Liang is such a cloud audience. He doesn't even pay attention to the music scene and has no hobby of listening to music. His hobby is large-scale stand-alone games, the so-called 3A masterpieces.
Of course, he had heard of the female star Gu Qingge, but his understanding of her was limited. He only knew that she was indeed beautiful. Every time he visited a game forum or chatted in a game group, some group members would directly use Gu Qingge's animated pictures or emoticons. Gu Qingge in those animated pictures was truly beautiful and cool, which was very impressive.
But even so, Wei Liang had no interest in getting to know the other party better. He felt that if he had that much time, he would be better off playing his single-player games.
However, with the broadcast of the semi-finals of this episode of "The Road to the King of Singers", Wei Liang was surprised to find that the forums and game groups where he liked water, his WeChat Moments, and even his Penguin account updates were all flooded with a song!
In such a situation, it was hard for him not to be curious, so he clicked on the link sent by others.
This link is naturally a clip of Gu Qingge from this episode of "The Road to the King of Songs". It is less than five minutes long and is the song "Bubble".
Nowadays, various headphones and audio equipment have become more and more advanced. As long as you are willing to spend money, listening to the 8D surround panoramic Dolby version at home can indeed create the feeling of listening to it live. Of course, when it comes to atmosphere and effects, the live performance is naturally more perfect.
Although Wei Liang has no hobby of listening to music, as a single-player game enthusiast, he is a gamer who wants 3A masterpieces to have the best picture and sound quality. His audio equipment is of course top-notch, so it is also very suitable for listening to music.
After he opened the link, he upgraded the video to 8K, and also turned up the various sound effects and quality. Officially edited videos like this do have lossless sound quality and various surround effects.
Wei Liang saw Gu Qingge sitting in front of the piano at a glance, and was instantly stunned by her profile in front of the camera. You know, this is 8K picture quality. With such full clarity, her skin full of collagen is flawless, white and delicate, which makes people jealous!
In the lower left corner of the video, the classic lyrics and music were written by Gu Qingge himself, highlighting his talent and willfulness.
Gu Qingge didn't wear any heavy makeup this time, giving people the feeling that she appeared without makeup. To use a poem to describe it, it is like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration. Anyway, a straight man like Wei Liang couldn't tell that she was wearing makeup, and then he naturally couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, I didn't expect that Gu Qingge is so beautiful without makeup?
The more Wei Liang looked at Gu Qingge, the more he thought she was particularly attractive. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Gu Qingge had so many male fans, her looks were truly a male killer!
Gu Qingge's overall outfit this time still shows her good taste, giving people a dreamy beauty, making her look like a fairy.
However, Wei Liang's first impression was that she was like a fragile porcelain doll, which could easily arouse others' desire to protect her.
In such a situation, Gu Qingge played the prelude of "Bubble" by herself. Her posture of playing the piano was also beautiful and intoxicating. Gu Qingge's piano skills were also top-notch. She began to play and sing by herself, and the camera slowly moved upwards from her legs, close-up of her hands playing the piano, and finally fixed on her side face.
Wei Liang watched this video with the barrage turned on. Naturally, the barrage was full of "awsl", "lick the screen", "unbeatable figure", "hands are too beautiful", "Gu Qingge's temperament when playing the piano is amazing"...
Gu Qingge, who played and sang by herself, seemed very comfortable.
"The bubbles in the sun are colorful
Just like I who was deceived, I am happy
What's right or wrong? Your lies
Because You Still Love Me
Beautiful bubbles, though a flash of fireworks
All your promises, though too fragile
But love is like a bubble, if you can see through it
What's sad?
After Wei Liang heard Gu Qingge start singing, he was not as exaggerated as some fans in the barrage, who boasted in all kinds of ways, saying that Gu Qingge was invincible as soon as he started singing. This soothing bass part was really handled perfectly, and he was worthy of being a professional player. Anyway, the song "Bubble" seems not difficult on the surface, but it is actually very difficult to sing.
Compared to her singing voice, Wei Liang was actually more attracted by Gu Qingge's way of playing and singing by herself. It is said that serious men are the most attractive. In fact, Gu Qingge, who is extremely serious and fully committed to singing, also has infinite charm. Her expressions are particularly contagious, making it easy for the audience to empathize.
Next, Gu Qingge, who was playing and singing by herself, stood up from the piano, took down the microphone in front of her, and walked to the center of the stage. Bubbles began to float all over the stage. Under the extremely matching lighting, it looked particularly beautiful and dreamy, and made people inexplicably sad.
Gu Qingge's singing voice instantly became very ethereal, forming a sharp contrast with the previous part -
"I should have known that the bubble would burst at the first touch.
Like a broken heart, tormented
It's not anyone's fault, no matter how many lies there are
Because You Still Love Me
Beautiful bubbles, though a flash of fireworks
All your promises, though too fragile
Love is a bubble, if you can see through it
What's sad?
At this moment, Wei Liang could no longer remain calm. He seemed to be instantly struck by the song "Bubble". It was not because the song evoked any emotional sadness in him, but because he felt for the first time that his ears were so greedy, and Gu Qingge's singing voice like heavenly music could not satisfy his greed at all!
He was just mesmerized by Gu Qingge's singing!
“No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will wither after it blooms.
No matter how bright a star is, it will fall after a flash."
When Gu Qingge sang these two lines, the barrage of comments also exploded at this moment——
"The singing voice is so ethereal, it's amazing!"
“It’s amazing, it’s amazing!”
"The ear is pregnant"
“I love these two sentences so much.”
"Goosebumps"
"I love this feeling that goes straight to the top of my head and makes my scalp tingle!"
"Am I the only one who noticed that there were tears glistening in Gu Qingge's eyes?"
"I feel bad for you, Gu!"
"From now on, she may never love again, love is just a bubble"
…
Wei Liang stared blankly at Gu Qingge on the stage in the video. It was the first time he realized that a singer could be so charming. He even felt that even if the other person was not very good-looking, the singing voice would be enough to completely conquer him!
He thought the above part was the most amazing part for him, but he didn't expect that there would be an even more shocking part that almost made him shout "WTF"!
"Love is a bubble, if you can see through it
What's sad
Why sad
What's sad
Why sad?
In this part, with every line Gu Qingge sang, her emotions seemed to be accumulating and laying the groundwork. When they accumulated to the highest point, it was like a silver bottle suddenly breaking and water spurting out. She held the microphone in her left hand and clenched her right fist, as if injecting soul into the song, and the famous scene of the entire "Bubble" stage was born!
At this moment, the barrage was full of "inject soul", "high energy warning", "high energy attack", "big thing is coming", "everyone kneel down"!
Gu Qingge's signature high notes were at full power!
"It's all bubbles, just a flash of fireworks
All your promises are too fragile
And your outline, I blame myself for not seeing through it
That’s why I’m so sad.”
At this time, the camera turned to other singers and the hosts who acted as their agents. Their expressions were basically shocked. Although Gu Qingge had already shown off her high notes many times on this stage, no matter which time, it was always so amazing!
What made Wei Liang almost shout "Fuck" was the next part, in which Gu Qingge once again raised the sound pressure to the maximum and pushed the high notes upwards!
"How to find the assurance of love again
Embracing loneliness, isn't it lonely?
Love is just a bubble, I don't see through it.
That’s why I’m so sad.”
The most shocking part of the whole song finally arrived. All the audiences at the scene seemed to surrender at this moment. Their feelings at this moment were actually similar to Wei Liang's. They could only use interjections such as "fuck" and "NB" to express their feelings about Gu Qingge's "Bubble".
Gu Qingge's ending was also perfectly performed, like the afterglow after the climax -
"The bubbles under the rain burst at the touch of a finger
The fervent heart at the beginning has long since sunk
Say you love me, if you lie to me
I would rather you remain silent."
