Chapter 89 Fans are angry, the topic of the finals! (3rd update)
Chief Director's Office.
Ji Lei stared at the data in the live broadcast room and was so surprised that he was speechless.
The song just sung by the talented couple brought the number of people in the live broadcast room up to 200,000. It only took them half a song to increase the popularity by 250,000. In the end, the number must have increased by 400,000!
What does it mean that a talent show has 3.4 million fans? They are still unknown contestants. It is not like the variety show "I Am the King of Singers" where the data of star singers PK is normal. The data of this show can be said to be the pinnacle of talent show variety shows! The scary thing is that this data is only for the semi-finals. The finals must not exceed 4 million!
If the final can really achieve 4 million popularity, then the music talent show "The Birth of a Group" will be enshrined in the world of music, and will not be surpassed by any other talent show for at least five years.
His title can also be changed. It is no longer "draft godfather", but...
——The God of Talent Show!
Ji Lei's eyes were shining as he imagined the future.
…
【bite!】
[System task "Medium" difficulty has been completed, selecting songs that suit the host... Please wait patiently. ]
During the interlude of the song, the system prompt sounded.
Lin Zhixing showed a barely perceptible smile, and he had completed the task of singing half a song, proving that this type of song was also popular with the audience, and his future path was brighter.
"Good, great, keep it up!"
"Kill the handsome man and pretty girl!"
The handsome group sitting in the second row of the contestant seats were delighted. This was the hero who slapped himself in the face. Let’s cheer for the hero!
“What expectations are hidden in the shells?”
“We don’t want to guess anymore.”
"Love facing the salty sea breeze"
“I can’t taste the future”
The performance of the second part of the song remained stable. Lin Zhixing and Song Ge faced each other and performed affectionately, and the singing gradually got better.
The audience was completely moved by the emotion of the song, and barrages of comments filled the live broadcast room.
"Birds and fish take different paths, and from now on they will never meet in the mountains and rivers."
"666, I was strongly against the gentleman above retiring from the literary world!"
"Don't give me that. You were the one who threw the most rotten eggs back then!"
"Have you noticed that the words 'seabirds and fish in love' sound similar to 'love'?"
"Oh my god, it really is. The homonym is 'I still want to love you'!"
"Oh yeah, this lyric is amazing!"
Player seats.
As Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen listened, they suddenly had a bad feeling. The lyrics were the bones and the music was the skin, and they both performed well.
On the contrary, when I was composing my own music, there were some aspects that I was not satisfied with, but due to my limited ability, I did not make it perfect.
Their eyes drifted towards the instructor's seat.
At this moment, the smile on Guo Jiahe's face was gone, and instead there was a hint of worry.
Will history repeat itself?
"I can't say goodbye even if I turn around and leave"
"The blue coral sea turns pale when you miss it"
"We were not mature enough to be honest with each other at the beginning"
"Enthusiasm is no longer there, smiles cannot be forced"
"Love is buried deep in the coral sea"
At the end of the song, after a graceful tune ended, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge held each other's hands, and they both smiled with satisfaction at the performance they had just performed.
The seabird and the fish were not together, but the singers held hands together, which added a sweet ending to this tragic love song.
Contrary to the performance just now by the talented couple, they did not receive any applause from the audience after their performance.
Until five or six seconds later...
A few audience members broke away from the song to applaud, and applause broke out at the scene.
This isn't a worse performance than the previous one, but a symbol of awesomeness, proving that the audience listened and got deeply into the song.
…
Off screen.
In a four-person female dormitory at a university.
Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, Xiao Sun, and Xiao Fang were all watching the music program "The Birth of a Group" on their mobile phones. When they heard the song "Coral Sea", they were deeply touched.
Xiao Wang recalled the past, wiped his tears and said: "Love without results is still unswerving, just like me!"
Xiao Li looked at the posters on the wall, bowed and cried to apologize, "I'm sorry, husbands, I can't vote for you today, I really like this song!"
Xiao Sun is a single guy and has never had any love experience, but when he saw his roommates crying, he also wanted to cry and started crying too.
Xiaofang was the only one in the dormitory who didn't cry. She was actually the most touched one, but she was usually labeled as a "strong woman" by her roommates, and she couldn't shed tears in the dormitory.
At this moment she really couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed the door open and went to cry in the toilet cubicle.
On the way to the bathroom, tears were already welling up in her eyes, but she was still holding them back.
But when she got to the bathroom, she really couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.
There is shit in every toilet.
…
On the gorgeous stage.
"Now, please invite the five mentors to comment on Feng Qi Wu Tong's performance just now!"
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge were both a little nervous at the moment. After all, it was the first time they changed the style of the song and they were afraid of being criticized harshly.
"The song is beautiful. There is no mention of regret in the whole song, but every sentence is regret! I like this song very much!" Zhao Weiwei gave a thumbs up and held up the first-class score card.
"You are truly a creative genius, and your creative style is so diverse. I really admire you!" Shen Fei also raised the first-class score card.
Dong Dehua held up the first-class score card and said, "The two instructors have just finished what I wanted to say. I just found something interesting while listening."
"Every sentence in this song ends with ai!"
After these words were spoken, the audience thought about the lyrics and their eyes widened in surprise.
"That's true, the rhyme is amazing! As expected of a superstar, I listened so carefully!"
"This is a sad love song, and every line ends with ai (love)? It's sublimated, isn't it? He is really amazing!"
"This further demonstrates the excellence of this lyric. To write lyrics that end with "ai" has its own limitations. But the limited lyrics can still touch people's hearts and move the listeners. It's amazing!"
"In my personal opinion, Xiao Shiyi Niang's lyrics are amazing, but I like this song more. This song has the strongest lyrics in my heart, and I won't accept any rebuttal!"
When Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen heard that even the king of pop openly praised the song, their straight backs collapsed and they felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave.
"Brother Hua is really strong, it's true!"
Wang Cong gave a thumbs up, looked at Lin Zhixing and Song Ge on the stage, and said with a smile: "I'll wait for you too!"
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge both breathed a sigh of relief and bowed with a smile to express their gratitude.
“This song is great.”
Oh? Even Guo Jiahe said it was good?
Lin Zhixing had a smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth were raised.
Guo Jiahe suddenly changed the subject and said, "But I think it's worse than the song that Shiyi Niang just wrote the lyrics for. I give you a second-rate rating."
When he heard it was "second class", the corners of Lin Zhixing's mouth that were curved upwards straightened.
Yes, you hold a grudge! You have been rated first in recent episodes. I thought the previous episode was over. I didn't expect that you would trip up the top four at the most critical moment. You are hiding your weapon and waiting for the right time. You, Gou Jian! How is this hit song not as good as the previous crappy song?
Wang Cong turned his head and looked at Guo Jiahe with anger on his face. He couldn't believe that he would give a second-rate evaluation.
At this moment, he really wanted to pick up the microphone and tell the host to change the previous call to the handsome man and beautiful woman, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was basically impossible to do so, and it was a recorded broadcast now, and there was no way to continue editing after he got angry.
Okay, okay, you are targeting the artists in my company, right?
You wait for the next final, and wait for my scoring in the next issue. The grudge between us today is settled!
Dong Dehua looked at Guo Jiahe with great confusion.
You think "Unreachable" is good, and that's your right as a mentor, but the live atmosphere of "Coral Sea" is obviously better, and both songs should be given first-class ratings.
"He is so abominable. Coral Sea is obviously more popular at the scene, but he actually thinks it is not as good as the previous song!"
Ji Yu clenched his fists and glared at the instructors.
Dong Chen was also very angry, "A company is biased, right?"
In the live broadcast room, Lin Zhixing's fans were excited.
"This comment really made me laugh. Are you trying to get some words from Xiao Shiyi Niang? Is it necessary to flatter her like that?"
"Do you have chicken feathers in your ears? Isn't this song better than the last one?"
"You vengeful bastard, I made you lose face last time, so you're taking revenge openly, right?"
"Guo Jiahe, I'll give you two punches!"
"Brothers, stop cursing here. He can't see it. Let's blow up his Weibo, shall we?"
"Let's go, I've finished listening to Oh Ye Ge's songs, I won't watch it anymore, start cursing!"
The whole audience.
Only Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen were grateful to Guo Jiahe. They didn't expect that he would really keep his word and help them.
"Brother Guo is really nice!"
"I am so touched. I, Zhang Long, will remember this favor!"
…
The grading has been completed and there is no other good way.
Although Lin Zhixing was dissatisfied, he could do nothing about it. Fortunately, he was sure to be in the top four, so he just let it go.
Song Ge and Lin Zhixing walked off the stage and the live performance continued.
The next contestant to appear is "Flying Miracle".
Dong Chen and Ji Yu both performed poorly, and were placed behind "Coral Sea" and encountered a cold audience. It can be said that they had no advantage of time, place and people.
However, this "regret" topic was indeed difficult for them. Ji Yu's charming voice made it impossible for people to empathize with the character, and she received the lowest score among the five mentors.
Chief director Ji Lei almost cried when he looked at the real-time data. After they finished singing this song, 800,000 people dropped out of the live broadcast room.
You finish singing and I will come on stage.
The last of the top eight to appear was the Sunshine Boys Group. Just as Guo Jiahe had said at the beginning, the team's performance in singing a song with the theme of "regret" was not very good.
They chose someone with good singing skills to sing the lead vocals, and the others followed along. Even so, the fans were still fanatical.
History repeated itself in the mentors' grading, and among the five mentors, Guo Jiahe gave a second-class score again.
In the live broadcast room.
Guo Jiahe’s fans started to criticize.
"Who said my brother deliberately targeted Fengqi Wutong? How about the Sunshine Youth Group being second-rate?"
"Isn't it normal that when you think a work is very good, you don't want other works that are not as good as it to be on par with it? I don't understand you haters, your heads are full of conspiracy theories!"
"These stinking losers are worse than my husband. There is no woman around him and they are ugly as hell. It's normal to be jealous!"
Even if the whole world says that a person is not good, but he is good to you, you should be grateful to him.
Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen were deeply moved.
If the previous scoring was revenge, this time it was really for myself. I am not even afraid of offending others. I am a real man who keeps his word.
Guo Jiahe's expression was very calm at this moment.
I have to keep my word. I was embarrassed when "Mountain and River Map" failed to win the award. Can I let them down this time? Then I should stop being a senior.
So what if it might offend people?
Wang Cong, so what if you are a top rich second generation? I have already given you face once, so can I always listen to you? It's not you who pays me!
As long as I protect my female fans well and don't make mistakes serious enough to get banned, no one can do anything to me, and I'll still be a top star!
…
As the eight members of the Sunshine Youth Group left the stage, the host returned to the stage, raised the microphone and announced: "Now let me explain the voting rules for this episode."
"In addition to the online popularity vote, this episode will also have 200 additional audience votes on site, which will also be counted towards the contestants' overall scores. The audience can just press the numbers on the voting devices in the order in which the contestants appear!"
"I declare that the voting will begin now! Next, we welcome mentors Shen Fei, Zhao Weiwei, Wang Cong, and Guo Jiahe to sing a song for everyone!"
The four mentors sang a song and the audience was extremely happy.
The atmosphere on the scene became hot again, but there was a detail that the audience noticed. During the singing, Wang Cong and Guo Jiahe had no interaction at all, as if they didn't know each other.
After the song, thunderous applause broke out from the audience. The audience has begun to look forward to the next episode, perhaps they will be able to see the five mentors singing on stage together.
Soon, the staff came out from behind the scenes and gave the audience's voting and online popularity vote results to the on-site host.
The host read out the results, "After voting by two hundred audience members, Feng Qi Wu Tong received 99 popularity votes, Sunshine Boys received 38 votes, and Talented Man and Pretty Woman received 35 votes..."
The audience was surprised to learn of the result. The votes for these three people were a bit outrageous. The other contestants were too miserable...
Because of Guo Jiahe's scoring, Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen, who were originally confident, collapsed on the backs of their chairs like deflated balloons when they heard the result.
Hopes were dashed. The online popularity votes could be roughly determined through the on-site performance. History repeated itself. This time, the brightest star on the stage was still not me.
Both of them were very lost, each with their own thoughts, and no one comforted the other.
A glimmer of hope appeared in Lin Zhixing's eyes at this moment. If the number of online votes was high enough, perhaps a reversal could really be achieved.
"The following is the online popularity ranking: the first place is Feng Qi Wu Tong with 1.5 million votes, the second place is Yangguang Boys with 1 million votes, and the third place is Lang Cai Nu Mei with 600,000 votes..."
"In the end, the one who won first place in the overall score was Feng Qi Wu Tong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was applause from the audience.
"So what if the instructor doesn't like it? As long as the public likes it, we can win! Feng Qi Wu Tong is awesome!"
"Really speak with strength!"
Player seats.
Song Ge smiled and patted Lin Zhixing beside him, saying excitedly: "Zhixing, we got first place this term!"
"This is just the semi-finals. Keep your mind right. Our goal is to be the first in the finals!"
Lin Zhixing appeared calm on the surface, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
"Hahaha!"
The handsome and attractive group was murderous and heartbreaking. They sat behind Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen, venting their emotions with mocking laughter.
"Brother Lin and the pigeons are really strong!"
Dong Chen and Ji Yu were sincerely happy for them.
Tutor seat.
Guo Jiahe's face turned pale. He didn't expect that he would lose even after helping like this. He felt very depressed.
Wang Cong looked at Guo Jiahe's deflated look beside him and couldn't help laughing.
The applause from the audience lasted for a long time.
The host made several silencing gestures before the crowd quieted down and continued to announce, "The second place is Handsome Man and Pretty Girl, the third place is Sunshine Boys, and the fourth place is Mulan Brothers... Now, please invite the top four contestants to come on stage and give their speeches!"
With some very exciting background music.
The top four contestants came to the center of the stage.
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge were beaming with joy, their backs straight, confidence and happiness written all over their faces.
The other three groups were like eggplants hit by frost. Although they won the places in the semi-finals, it was obvious that they were not very happy, especially the handsome man and the pretty girl. It felt like their world had fallen.
"Feng Qi Wu Tong, please give your final four speeches first!"
The host handed over the microphone, and Lin Zhixing took it. After thinking for a moment, he gave a very Versailles speech.
"Thank you all for your support. We were very surprised by this result!"
"We didn't have the confidence to change to a different song type. We even posted on Weibo asking for votes before the game. It was really an unexpected success. We originally just wanted to secure a top four spot. I am really grateful for the fans' support."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused heated discussion among the audience.
"Good fellow, I was really fooled by you yesterday!"
"I naively thought you were no match for me, but you were just playing the pig and eating the tiger, right?"
His Weibo post was posted yesterday and netizens were deeply impressed. Many of them also commented and criticized it, saying that changing the style in such an important game would be tantamount to seeking death.
This time I was severely slapped in the face. It seems that he was just speaking modestly.
Speaking of Weibo, we have to mention Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen’s Weibo, which are the opposite. They are so confident! They were full of confidence but didn’t win.
I had no confidence and just won with a casual move.
This is so uncomfortable.
After listening to Lin Zhixing's speech, Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen couldn't even raise their heads and kept looking at the ground.
"Okay, thank you very much!"
The host took the microphone and handed it to Zhang Long, "Now, please invite the talented man and beautiful woman to give their final speeches."
"Thank you for your support. The top four is not our goal. We will continue to work hard. Thank you again!"
Zhang Long's speech was very brief.
"Top four is not our goal," he said it so weakly that it made fans feel very uncomfortable.
…
After the top four gave their speeches one by one, they returned to the contestant seats.
The host announced: "Now, please invite the eliminated contestants to give their farewell speeches.
The four eliminated groups of contestants returned to the stage amid the encouragement of the audience.
The first to speak were Dong Chen and Ji Yu, who ranked eighth.
Dong Chen took the lead this time. He took the microphone handed to him by the host, looked at the audience below the stage, and slowly spoke.
"I would like to thank the program team for giving us the opportunity to participate in the competition, and I would also like to thank the audience and fans who support us. It is because of your enthusiastic support that we have the motivation to continue singing."
"Here, we would like to especially thank one person, that is Lin Zhixing from the Fengqi Wutong group, our Brother Lin! If it weren't for his help, we might have been eliminated long ago and would not have been able to enter the top eight of this show. We are very, very grateful to him."
"Everyone may label him as a 'rap master' or a 'creative powerhouse', but in fact he is also a very good person in life. He is capable and eloquent!"
"As for character... ugh!"
Dong Chen spat on the ground and wiped his mouth.
The camera turned to Lin Zhixing, who had a confused look on his face, and everyone was amused.
"Hahaha, how bad must this person's character be to even spit on him!"
"The punchline came so suddenly. Xiao Dong really understands stage effects."
"???"
Lin Zhixing's fist hardened in his trouser pocket, staring at the stage in disbelief, "Wait for my 40-meter sword, you're allowed to run 39 meters first!"
Dong Chen smiled and waved his hands, "Sorry, a bug just flew into my mouth."
As soon as he was interrupted, Dong Chen forgot what he was talking about just now, so he simply stopped talking and gave a thumbs up perfunctorily: "Anyway, he is a very good person and a friend worth making close friends with!"
Lin Zhixing looked at Song Ge who was laughing with his hands covering his mouth beside him, and gritted his teeth, "Good fellow, you just skipped the character, didn't you?"
"We hope that the audience who support us can give them more support in the next competition. We would like to thank you all here!" After saying that, Dong Chen and Ji Yu bowed deeply to the audience together.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhixing nodded.
This is fine, as a younger brother you can direct traffic to your older brother.
"Don't worry, Xiao Dong and Xiao Ji, I will take the damn first place!"
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge watched Ji Yu and Dong Chen leave from the passage. Looking at their lonely backs, they felt really sad.
…
"Next, I will announce the competition rules for the finals of "The Birth of a Group."
"The top four contestants need to prepare two songs. The first song will still be a topic selection system to compete for the top three. For the second song, singers can choose any type of song to compete for the debut ranking!"
After the host made the announcement, there was an uproar in the audience.
"Oh my god, next time it's going to be great, we'll be singing two songs in a row!"
“I’m really looking forward to it. I hope the next episode can save me from my lack of songs!”
"Sure, the production team knows how to stretch the show. The top four singing four songs is too short a show. If each person sings two songs, it will be the same length as today, hahaha!"
After introducing the rules of the finals, it was finally time for the exciting topic selection session.
"Now, please invite Professor Dong Dehua to come on stage to draw the topic card for the last issue."
Amidst warm applause, Dong Dehua waved and walked onto the stage. After rummaging in the cardboard box for a few seconds, he drew a card and took the microphone from the host.
He looked towards the camera, his lips curled up as he announced: "The topic for the next issue is 'Friendship'!"
Upon hearing this topic, the audience showed a hint of disappointment, and all the contestants except Lin Zhixing frowned unconsciously.
"There are too few songs about friendship, and those that are don't really touch me, they seem to be deliberately sentimental."
“I can’t even think of a single song about friendship…”
"It's not a big deal. The first song is just boring. Just treat it as an appetizer. The second song you choose will definitely be great!"
【bite!】
[The rewards have been selected. Congratulations to the host for winning the song "Years of Friendship". ]
The system prompt sounded, and as his memory was restored, Lin Zhixing was stunned.
Many scenes and classic lines flashed through my mind.
"My name is Shan Ji, ... Chicken."
"It's difficult, so don't do it!"
"If you want to get involved in a gang, you must admit your mistakes and stand at attention when you are beaten!"
“There is only one Hao Nan in Causeway Bay!”
This is the theme song from the classic movie "Young and Dangerous". The original singer, Ekin Cheng, charmed thousands of girls back then, and the song was extremely popular.
"Years of Friendship" can be said to be one of the classic Cantonese songs that many people are familiar with.
Many famous singers have covered this song, and every time they cover it, the song becomes popular again for a while.
Phoenix Legend had covered this song in the music variety show "The Voice of China". That was their first time to challenge a Cantonese song. Once it was broadcast, it was loved by many netizens, and the song with few puns once again returned to the public's attention.
The movie "Ex-Files 4" even used this classic song "Years of Friendship" as the theme song of the movie.
Zheng Kai's classic line "This song is worth a fortune, and right and wrong are as vast as the sky and the sea" left a deep impression on netizens who watched the movie.
In the past, people born in the 1980s and 1990s liked this song. Once the movie was broadcast, people born in the 2000s also liked this song. The influence is quite wide.
This song is good, but Blue Star does not have a Young and Dangerous movie, nor does it have Ex-Files 4...
Will the song be popular with the audience in the next episode?
besides……
How to solve the Cantonese issue?
Update completed! Thanks to Youyue|Binglan for the 5000-point reward, and thanks to Yuyedejiedeng for the 600-point reward! (End of this chapter)
