Chapter 152: Song as History (Subscription Requested)
After a short period of turmoil, the game officially began.
It's just that Zhang Qiusheng always feels that director Li Dongtian's eyes are always glancing at him, and his eyes are cold, so he can't help but shiver.
According to the usual practice, continue to draw lots for one-on-one PK, the extra one is to be determined first, and then by the public review, in the eliminated team to draw a player whose strength and popularity are recognized to resurrect, and the pending player to PK, the winner will be directly promoted.
In other words, even if it is eliminated, as long as it is recognized by the public judges, there is still a chance of resurrection with a small probability.
Zhang Qiusheng was tempted to refuse the lottery.
But when he took out the drawn tag number, the audience cheered.
Number 8!
But why did the audience cheer?
Because Zheng Qian is also the No. 8!
If it weren't for the players' eyes closed, and the live draw duel was completely under the noses of the audience, and only the audience could see the numbers, everyone might not be able to help but doubt the fairness of the game!
But it's true.
Zhang Qiusheng smoked No. 8!
The road is narrow!
Face the music!
Zhang Qiusheng, who was slapped in the face by Zheng Qian in the last game, escaped by luck, but he didn't expect that this time, he was drawn to a group with Zheng Qian again.
The audience burst into laughter!
Zheng Qian couldn't hold back either, coughed and hid his happiness.
Zhang Qiusheng also laughed, but the laughter was more ugly than crying, Nima, shady, definitely shady!
The host He Jiong laughed: "Okay! No. 8! Auspicious number! Zhang Qiusheng will have another PK with Zheng Qian! This time, will Zhang Qiusheng catch up and turn defeat into victory, or will Zheng Qian defend the throne and win again? Wonderful things are coming soon, don't go away, after the advertisement, come back immediately!"
During advertising time, the live broadcast screen was cut off.
Director Li Dongtian stepped onto the stage, pointed at Zhang Qiusheng and said, "Come with me." β
There was a sudden silence in the field.
Zhang Qiusheng followed with a sneer.
Li Dongtian took him to the corner and asked, "Don't you know that it's a live broadcast now?" How do you tell you during the rehearsal, if you have an opinion, mention it in private, don't take up the live broadcast time, can you bear the consequences of the accident?"
Zhang Qiusheng gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his head and said, "I know! But director, can I only swallow my anger when I am treated unfairly?"
Li Dongtian said strangely: "Who was unfair to you?"
Zhang Qiusheng turned his head and didn't speak, but his eyes turned red instantly.
Seeing this, Li Dongtian suddenly said irritably: "A big man, why are you crying? If you feel that you have been unjust, you can tell me now, "Chinese Idol" is definitely a fair and just program, I am the director, here, I have the final say, just say it, are you doing something behind my back?"
Zhang Qiusheng was stunned, he gritted his teeth and said: "There is nothing wrong with the selection tube, it is you who is wrong, the director, why do you want to arrange me and Zheng Qian together several times? With my strength, as long as I don't meet Zheng Qian, I definitely have a chance to enter the top three ......."
Li Dongtian was stunned, but soon came back to his senses.
He looked at Zhang Qiusheng, raised his eyebrows and said: "Luck is also a kind of strength, when you meet Zheng Qian, you can only say that you are unlucky, all the draws are conducted publicly." β
Zhang Qiusheng's face was full of disbelief.
Seeing this, Li Dongtian didn't bother to explain to him, and said bluntly: "Warn you for the last time, don't make any moths for me during the live broadcast, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Zhang Qiusheng a chance to speak at all.
Not to mention that he is the chief director of the show, just the identity of the leader of Shonan Satellite TV can make Zhang Qiusheng unable to mix in this circle.
Did my brain be eaten by a dog?
It's not the finals yet, it's not the key circle of interest yet!
I'll operate your uncle!
He has seen a lot of people who complain about their strength, and Li Dongtian already has disdain and contempt for Zhang Qiusheng in his heart.
Young people don't have brains and are easily impulsive, but this is not a reason to make mistakes.
Soon, the recording continued.
The contestants performed on stage one by one, and the three professional judges commented one by one, and then the public judges voted on.
An hour passed quickly.
"The eighth group of players is invited to play. β
He Jiong shouted.
When this sentence was shouted, the sleepy audience of the entire scene instantly came to their senses.
Zheng Qian and Zhang Qiusheng came to the stage one after the other, introduced themselves, and then began to flip coins to decide who would appear first.
It turned out to be Zheng Qian again.
Zhang Qiusheng's face changed, and he looked at Zheng Qian with trembling lips.
Zheng Qian looked at him suspiciously.
Zhang Qiusheng smiled reluctantly and said, "Come on!"
Zheng Qian also smiled and patted Zhang Qiusheng on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, there is still a long way to go in life." β
Zhang Qiusheng nodded, the smile on his face was uglier than crying.
At the same time, almost all the teenagers and girls squatting in front of the television set all over the country picked up the tape recorder in their hands, knelt in front of the television, and pressed the record button.
If you don't have a tape recorder, you can directly open your mobile phone to record, and then you can't just pick up a pen and paper and start to transcribe the lyrics to the greatest extent.
After "Nocturne" became popular, young people across the country almost developed the habit of copying lyrics from songbooks, and "Nocturne" was copied more because of the complexity of the lyrics, and was regarded as a divine comedy by many people.
Many people even set this song as a caller song and an alarm song, and it is also a song that people often cycle in singles nowadays.
The more I liked the song, the more I wanted to know who was singing it.
As a result, more and more people joined Zheng Qian's fan base.
All Qian fans know that when Zheng Qian participated in the show, almost all the songs were original, and the songs in each competition were not the same, and his talent seemed to be endless, which was also one of the characteristics that were touted and loved by fans.
Saying that Zheng Qianjiang is exhausted is really a big joke.
"The song I'm going to sing today is called "Love Before the Western Era", and I wrote this song by blending exotic customs, Western trends and Eastern subtlety. β
Zheng Qian paused and said: "I may have to disappoint the public judge who commented on me before, and the style of this song also continues "Nocturne", I hope the judge will be more responsible." β
The middle-aged public judge who commented before snorted when he heard this.
Because there was no microphone, he couldn't answer Zheng Qian's suspected provocative words.
But he has already decided, no matter what Zheng Qian sings, he doesn't want to get this vote in my hand.
All four professional judges laughed.
Dang Shui of the Shuiquan group said happily: "This guy looks docile, but there is a sense of arrogance in his words, I like it!"
Hu Tianquan said: "The addiction is over, but it is obvious that you will lose this vote." β
Teacher Zheng Jun, who has rarely commented, suddenly said: "Zheng Qian is a singer who constantly surprises people, you may not know, he also did rock and roll before, and he was famous in Hong Kong, and then he suddenly became good at high notes, and now he is playing Rap again, which is really not good at it, only better at it." β
The other three professional judges were a little surprised when they heard this.
What surprised me was not Mr. Zheng Jun's words, but Mr. Zheng Jun knew Zheng Qian so well?
They knew that during the rehearsal, Zheng Qian greeted Teacher Zheng Jun, but the latter just hummed nonchalantly, and didn't show his liking at all.
But at this moment, Zheng Qian's resume is a treasure, which suddenly surprised them.
Teacher Zheng Jun was rarely reserved: "Zheng Qian is a very good singer, talented, and in our era, he will also become popular." β
Singapore's queen Sun Xueyao is curious about Zheng Qian at the moment.
She knew that Zheng Qian was completely from this show, but other than that, because of her busy work, she knew almost nothing about the newly rising Zheng Qian.
The story of this song is based on the story of Nebuchadnezzar II, King of Babylon, and his wife, Mitis, who is said to have built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon for her wife. β
After speaking, Zheng Qian signaled to the staff that they could play the accompaniment.
Because of time constraints, the accompaniment of this "Love Before the AD" was not fully spread.
With the exception of the drum kit, all the other instruments just use metronomes to string together some R&B music, but even if the presentation is not perfect, it does not affect the quality of the song.
So, when the prelude sounded, it seemed to be a sound coming from the radio, which immediately attracted everyone's ears.
Soon, the drums sounded, and the rhythm instantly became pleasant.
"The ancient Babylonian king promulgated the Code of Hammurabi
Carved in black basalt
It has been more than 3,700 years ago
You're in front of the window
Gaze at the words of the inscription
But I'm quietly admiring your beloved face......"
Because there was communication during the rehearsal, in order to let the audience have a deeper understanding of this song, the lyrics of "Love Before the A.D." appeared on the big screen at the scene.
But even so, when Zheng Qian hummed a short paragraph, all the audience at the scene were stunned.
Every word seems to be understood......
But when put together, I don't know what it means......
However, the mysterious humming adds a lot of illusion to this already mysterious text.
The fantasy flowing from under that note is endlessly evocative.
In short, I don't understand it, but I feel like it's amazing.
And at this moment, the friends who were sitting in front of the TV and preparing to transcribe the lyrics were confused.
What's this?
How do you copy it?
The speed of speech is fast, but why is it so difficult to even write?
Is this still a Chinese character?
"Priests, temples, conquests, bows and arrows, whose past?
I like the picture that you only belong to me in the crowd
Pass by the goddess Sugmei
I make a wish in the name of the goddess
Thoughts stretch like the Tigrisβ"
However, for those who study historical work, there is an unexplained excitement in their hearts when they see these lyrics.
Zhang Ke is like this.
He is a middle school history teacher, and the new edition of the history textbook has a description of the ancient Babylonian kingdom of the four ancient civilizations, and in this year's final exam papers, there are many questions about Babylon in the history papers, which mention the Mesopotamian plain and the Tigris two place names.
This kind of translation of place names, which is extremely difficult for Chinese students, sings so smoothly in this song!
Learn!
Be sure to let the kids learn this song!
"This Zheng Qian is so talented! He actually wrote all the questions of the test paper in the song!"
Zhang Ke looked at the picture on the TV, and his head turned rapidly: "Most of these lyrics about the place names of Babylon are displayed, if the history is displayed in songs, it will be much easier for children to remember!"
Promotion! Respond to the education department!
This song is very suitable for the whole city, no, it is a national promotion!
This form of song should be encouraged, and history should be used as a song, so that children can remember history more well!
There are not a few history teachers who have the same idea as Zhang Ke, they are all in front of the TV at the moment, silently listening to the song "Love in the West", and they have already thought about how to force students to study after the start of school.
Studio scene.
After a round of incomprelude rap, finally, the chorus came, and in an instant the mood of all the audience was released.
"The love I give you is written before the AD
Buried deep in the plains of Mesopotamia
Unearthed and discovered dozens of centuries later
The handwriting on the clay tablets is still clearly visible......"
The scene suddenly boiled!
That's what we like to hear.
Many people also realized it at this time, and they were all a little surprised.
This song is really as Zheng Qian said, the lyrics describe the story of ancient Babylon, this kind of song is history, so that people listen to the song at the same time, understand the history and geography of the West, so that everyone feels that a new world has been opened, and they are instantly attracted by the charm of the song.
"Songs and knowledge are combined, and it turns out that love songs can also write such connotative content!"
"Zheng Qian is really amazing! Where is Jiang Lang's talent, this is a new breakthrough!"
"This rhythm is too powerful, not professionals will never be able to experience it, this song "Love in the West" is definitely the strongest rhythm in the R&B genre. β
"Compared to "Nocturne", I like this song more, it is completely subversive!"
The audience is boiling!
The beauty of the chorus completely made them surrender.
Even Sun Xueyao felt a little moved when she listened to this song at the moment.
The amazing climax made her instantly impressed with Zheng Qian.
No wonder he is the hottest player in "Chinese Idol......
When the chorus part came, the emotions accumulated in the prelude exploded in an instant, making her feel like an electric current flowing all over her body, and goosebumps on her arms.
"The love I give you is written before the AD
Buried deep in the plains of Mesopotamia
Engraved forever in cuneiform
A thousand-year-old vow
It's all happening again......"
Backstage, Zhang Qiusheng listened to this song and the cheers of the audience, and the whole person was stupid.
What about Jiang Lang's talents?
That last bit of expectation has completely vanished.
He opened his mouth, his mind completely blank, and only the words "sacrifice, temple, conquest, bow and arrow...... jumped in his head.
He Ling, the host next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, and finally stepped forward and patted Zhang Qiusheng on the shoulder, comforting: "Don't be discouraged, it's just a small probability to meet Zheng Qian...... Ahem, actually, it doesn't matter if you lose, there's still a chance. β
Zhang Qiusheng smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher He, I am like a dead heart now, opportunity? That is reserved for those who are prepared......
