Chapter 161: Opponent? Just leveling up!
This is a live broadcast, and if you don’t follow the routine, it will be a stage accident.
The director backstage was a little panicked, but fortunately the host was experienced. He calmly glanced at the cue card and reintroduced, "We have another guest on the scene. He has a musical quality that only a few people have. This musical quality is called absolute pitch. Who is he?"
"Um?"
Lin Zhixing was stunned for a moment. Did he recognize the wrong title just now? Is this how to introduce yourself?
"East China Sea!!!"
Hearing the screams of fans from the audience, Zhang Donghai breathed a sigh of relief, stood up at the right time, and greeted the audience behind him with a smile.
"Now, please pay attention to the electronic screen and take a look at the personal introduction of our first contestant."
While introducing himself, the host was thinking that after this blunder, the way the game would be played might have to be changed.
If something goes wrong, you can't blame yourself. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not paying attention to the process.
Short videos of the contestants were played on the stage screen.
"Her name is Xiao Yu. She has beautiful eyes and accurate hearing. She is a beautiful girl who can decipher the codes on the black and white keys..."
The audience watched the short film and, combined with the piano on the stage, guessed that the girl who was about to appear would take on a piano challenge.
The girl named Xiao Yu who was waving to the audience was no more than 25 years old. She was about 1.6 meters tall and had a bun on her hair. She looked very pure and cute.
When she sat on the piano stool, the host introduced with a smile: "Let's play a small game to test the three guests. The contestant will play three songs of the three guests backwards. Let us guess, okay?"
"good!"
The audience said in unison.
Lin Zhixing, a guest invited by the program crew with great difficulty, is not averse to these kinds of games.
【bite!】
[System tasks are enabled with simple difficulty. Unleash your personal charm and gain 30 shock points. A random song from Earth will be awarded upon completion.]
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and Lin Zhixing shrugged helplessly.
30 shock points? I really don't want to show off in front of people! Off screen.
Guo Jiahe, who had just finished dancing practice and was sweating all over, was sitting in the dance studio, watching the live broadcast.
Seeing this, he smiled.
Playing a song backwards can make it into two completely different songs. It's not enough to just have creative ability, you also need a strong sense of music.
Guo Jiahe was well aware of Zhang Donghai's abilities, music was everything to him, and playing songs backwards was something he often did, so this test was easy and enjoyable for him.
The advantage lies in him!
…
After the host shouted "start", contestant Xiao Yu played the first song, and the first guest to guess the song was Fei Taiqing.
Due to limited time, I didn't play the entire piece, only about half a minute.
“Pruning plum blossoms, right?”
Fei Taiqing gave the answer with a smile, and added: "If it were any other song, I would not be able to guess it. I have heard someone play this song backwards before."
"Congratulations on the correct answer!"
After the host announced the result with a smile, the audience applauded warmly.
The second guest to guess the song was Zhang Donghai. As soon as the piano music started, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Half a minute later, he left the guest seats and sat in front of the piano on the stage. He played and sang the song that tested himself, and the audience applauded in unison to the beat.
"I said it was too easy for him!"
Outside the screen, Guo Jiahe smiled and shook his head, gave Zhang Donghai a thumbs up in his heart, and looked forward to Lin Zhixing, who was going to guess the song last, making a fool of himself.
Soon, the third song started and Lin Zhixing began to guess the song.
Half a minute later, he also came to the piano, looked at the keys in silence for a moment, and said to the camera: "I want to tell you my analysis, otherwise everyone will wonder how I guessed it."
"Honestly speaking, I have no idea about the melody at the beginning, but I heard a few notes, "re", "fa" and "so". Among my songs in the key of G, the one that can be directly related to it is "Lady Shexiang". Let me try it."
Lin Zhixing's fingers flowed on the piano keys, and a beautiful melody sounded. He sang along, "Across the endless mountains, across the endless sea..."
“Wumeng Mountain is connected to other mountains”
"The moonlight sprinkled on Xiangshui Beach"
To everyone's surprise, the audience actually sang along.
“Nice!”
"Why do all the people in the audience sing along when he plays it casually?"
"Because the work has reached a level where even the common people can sing it, it can be called a phenomenal singing level!"
【bite!】
[Shock value +10 points! ]
Obviously, they all guessed it correctly, and the audience's chorus added points for Lin Zhixing, and made Zhang Donghai, who also played and sang, look pale in comparison.
"this……"
Guo Jiahe, who was watching the live broadcast, frowned and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. "What are these people doing?"
…
"Congratulations on guessing correctly!"
The host smiled and clapped his hands. "All three guests are very impressive! Now, I would like to invite contestant Xiao Yu to start tonight's challenge. Let me introduce the challenge project to everyone..."
After some introduction, Lin Zhixing understood the general meaning.
The piano keys are projected on the stage screen, and each key has a number on it. The contestants need to memorize the key number while playing the song.
After the time limit ends, the contestants only listen to the sounds of the keys pressed by the guests, and report the corresponding note names, musical notes, key positions and numbers.
The summary is to test the extent to which one can do two things at the same time.
Soon, the countdown began.
The contestant began to recite the numbers on the screen while playing the piano keys, and the accompaniment was the song "The Most Dazzling National Style".
Lin Zhixing was quite surprised, and he didn't know if it was intentional by the program crew. When the song was played, the atmosphere was super good, and the audience applauded in unison with the music.
Zhang Donghai had just been overshadowed by the audience singing along when Lin Zhixing was playing, and now it was his song again, and he immediately frowned.
While he was dissatisfied, he picked up the pen and paper on the table and started taking notes.
After a song, the host made a stop gesture. Xiao Yu left the piano, turned his back to the screen, and closed his eyes, as if trying hard to memorize.
Lin Zhixing was invited to the piano. After glancing at the keys, he pressed a random note.
"So sharp, it's the fourth black key in F, the number is 3!"
"Ouch?"
Lin Zhixing looked at the screen to confirm the answer, then shrugged in disbelief, "Correct!"
Applause broke out from the audience.
I took the test twice more and got the answers right both times.
Lin Zhixing returned to the guest seat and immediately raised the "passed" sign and gave a reason, "I can tell you responsibly that this show was not rehearsed in advance. She is really amazing!"
Fei Taiqing also held up a "passed" sign, "This ability to do two things at once is incredible. I admire it very much. Passed!"
The camera turned to Zhang Donghai.
He shook his head, held up the "eliminated" sign, and explained: "From your performance just now, we saw a problem with attention allocation. She was allocating her attention between playing the piano and memorizing, but she was not able to allocate her attention well today."
"I was looking into your eyes, you were staring at the numbers on the screen, reciting them, the piano was playing automatically..."
"Can I talk about this for a minute?"
Xiao Yu raised her hand and interrupted, "Because I like all of Brother Zhixing's music. In fact, I have played all of his music."
Brother Zhixing?
Can you play all the songs?
This is more satisfying than the system giving me songs! Lin Zhixing's lips curled up. It was the first time someone called him that. At this moment, he wanted to ask, "What is your dream? Do you want to join my Western orchestra? There are 32 concert tours waiting for you."
“So it’s easier for you to remember.”
Zhang Donghai said confidently, then picked up the data he had just recorded, "I saw that the total number of times you looked at the score and your hands was 27 times."
"In 3 minutes and 30 seconds, you did it 27 times. The rest of the time was spent memorizing numbers. Memorizing 88 numbers in 3 minutes and 30 seconds is nothing in the mental world. In terms of multitasking, it's just that. So I won't pass you."
Every word was so devastating that the girl's eyes turned pale after hearing the comments.
Some of the audience booed, expressing dissatisfaction with Zhang Donghai's scoring.
In this program, all three guests must pass the test to advance, and the first girl who appeared was unfortunately eliminated.
Lin Zhixing wanted to speak for her, but Zhang Donghai’s comments were indeed irrefutable. After all, this was not a track for ordinary people, but a competition platform for geniuses.
…
Soon, the second contestant came on stage. He was a slightly plump boy with a buzz cut.
The host introduced: "This is a contestant who is extremely sensitive to timbre! He also has the ability of absolute pitch..."
Lin Zhixing: “…”
Okay, okay, all the people on Blue Star who have this ability are gathered together today, right?
After another introduction, this slightly plump boy wanted to demonstrate his abilities. The rule of the demonstration was that he would use the sound of the piano as a reference for any sound made by any object.
"Okay, listen carefully!"
The host first pointed the microphone at the piano stool, and then pulled the piano stool to make a sound.
“F#!”
Lin Zhixing thought to himself.
After listening to this, the slightly fat boy walked to the piano and pressed the keys. The sound was the same as the sound of the piano bench. "The sound just now was F#!"
"good!"
Applause broke out from the audience.
He's quite good! Lin Zhixing's eyes widened in surprise. If he hadn't rehearsed, then this boy really had absolute pitch.
The host pointed the microphone at the glass again and tapped it with a spoon.
"D#!"
Lin Zhixing thought to himself.
The chubby boy pressed the keys again, and the sound was still the same as the knocking sound, "The sound just now was D#."
Absolutely amazing!
So fucking strong!
Lin Zhixing gave a thumbs up in his heart and turned his head to see Zhang Donghai's reaction, only to see him lift his butt very slightly.
“Do!”
Lin Zhixing covered his nose and said to himself.
After this segment, the host said, "Now let's play a game to interact with the audience. Please invite guests Lin Zhixing and Zhang Donghai to come on stage and participate."
After the two came on stage, the host pointed to the round empty fish tank on the piano and said, "There are colored balls in it, which the two guests and the contestants will throw into the audience. The audience members who catch the balls will come on stage and press the keys together, and they will guess."
The first one to throw was Zhang Donghai. He took out three balls and threw them towards the audience.
"Come on, let's invite these three audience members to the stage."
Soon, three audience members came on stage and, following the host's command, pressed the piano keys together.
Zhang Donghai shrugged his shoulders and frowned, "All three are Duo. This is too simple. I think the audience will think I'm an idiot!"
Off screen.
Guo Jiahe was amused, "Okay, okay, you are still pretending!"
After hearing the applause from the audience, Zhang Donghai straightened his back, turned his head and asked the slightly fat boy: "Excuse me, contestant, how many notes can you hear at a time?"
The slightly fat boy scratched his head and replied with a smile: "Don't play it discordantly, it looks like four of them."
Zhang Donghai nodded after listening. This time he took out five balls and threw them into the audience.
The live broadcast room exploded with comments.
"Damn, you're really good at pretending!"
"After asking about their limits, you just throw five of them in, right?"
"That little girl just now was so good, but she was eliminated, and now he's starting to attack this contestant again. He's turning this show into his own show!"
…
Zhang Donghai did not feel that what he did was excessive. He thought to himself, if he couldn't even beat himself, what kind of "super brain" was he? Soon, the five audience members who came on stage pressed the piano keys together.
The slightly plump boy frowned, unable to explain what was going on.
Zhang Donghai smiled proudly and gave the answer, "do mi so si do!"
The host, who knew piano, clapped his hands and said, "The instructor is still the instructor, all correct."
The audience applauded like a tide.
The corners of Zhang Donghai's mouth are harder to suppress than AK, and he is about to float.
"I want to play too!"
Lin Zhixing raised his hand, and under the gaze of everyone, he grabbed all the remaining balls in the fish tank.
host:"???"
Fat boy: “???”
Zhang Donghai: “???”
Throw the balls one by one, a total of eight balls.
After throwing the ball, Lin Zhixing turned around and asked the host, "Are there any more balls?"
"Fuck, this is for you!"
Zhang Donghai curled his lips with a look of disdain. He had never seen anyone who could hear seven notes. No, he had never seen anyone who could hear six notes.
The host smiled and shook his head, "No more, this is not about who throws more!"
"I know."
Lin Zhixing nodded and extended his hand to invite eight audience members to come on stage.
After the host gave the command, eight audience members pressed the piano keys together.
"What the hell? It's over in one go?"
The audience thought to themselves after hearing this.
Zhang Donghai was very confused by what he heard. Not only were there too many notes, but they were also very discordant and he had no idea what they were.
Off screen.
"I'm going to be embarrassed, I'm going to be embarrassed!"
Guo Jiahe stared at the screen intently, with the corners of his mouth raised to his ears.
…
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhixing blurted out: "do fa LA do 降 re mi si so!"
The host looked at Lin Zhixing in disbelief and raised his thumbs up, "All correct!"
Zhang Donghai was completely dumbfounded. He turned around and asked in surprise: "You also have absolute pitch?"
“I don’t have absolute pitch.”
Lin Zhixing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The professor who taught me hearing, sight and ear training in college called me Deaf Five."
"Hahaha!"
The audience burst into laughter.
【bite!】
【Shock value +20 points.】
"Eight balls is not the limit for Oh Ye Ge, but there are only eight balls in the fish tank!"
【bite!】
[The system task of simple difficulty has been completed. Congratulations to the host for winning the song "Tomorrow Will Be Better." ]
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.
Will tomorrow be better? Lin Zhixing was a little excited when he learned that he had won the song.
If there are few songs in the music industry that can be sung by two people, then songs that can be sung by three or more people are even rarer.
There will be a backing vocal segment later in "I Am the King of Singers". Lin Zhixing was just worrying about not having a song for the three of them to sing together, but he didn't expect it to come! This song is so heavyweight.
1986 was the World Peace Year. The creators of "Tomorrow Will Be Better" hoped to imitate the model of "We Are The World" where a group of stars sang for charity to echo the theme of the World Peace Year.
Therefore, Luo Dayou, Zhang Aijia and other singers jointly created this song and called 60 Chinese singers to sing it together. These singers came from different regions and record companies, breaking the restrictions of signing contracts. Among them were many famous artists such as Li Zongsheng, Cai Qin, and Su Rui.
Once the song was released, it received a very enthusiastic response and was deeply loved by people.
It’s actually a bit too few for three people to sing this song. It would be better if more singers could be invited to help out.
Can the program team get more people to help out?
…
Off screen.
Guo Jiahe was so angry that his nose was crooked. He threw his phone heavily on the yoga mat, "This idiot!"
"So you're leveling up for others, mmp!"
