Chapter 172: The Uncrowned King
The audience applauded thunderously.
The roaring shouts resounded throughout the studio.
When Zheng Qian came out, a cheer higher than the previous two players rang out.
Screams came and went.
This is popularity visible to the naked eye.
Although he ran overseas for a week, it wasn't until he stepped on the ground under his feet that Zheng Qian could really feel a tremor from the depths of his soul.
This made his palms holding the pillar sweat a little.
Inexplicably a little nervous!
Zheng Qian smiled.
The audience was enthusiastic, and he quickly mobilized his emotions.
So, under the illumination of the brilliant lights, Zheng Qian lowered his head, swept the guitar chords vigorously, looked at the audience, and calmly sang loudly:
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword-"
The plucking of the strings, as well as this poetic and yearning song, for a moment like a morning bell, made everyone wake up in an instant.
This opening rhythm ......
The audience's hearts trembled and their eyes widened.
Everyone didn't expect that a single lyric would touch their hearts so much!
It's amazing!
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword
Take a look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always a little frivolous
Now you are at home ...... all over the world."
Good!
Good song!
Judge Shen Li seemed to be pressed to the G spot, his whole face turned red, his hands slammed into the judge's seat, and he was even so excited that he stretched forward and stared intently at Zheng Qian who was playing and singing.
The fact that this representative of the campus folk music scene can be so moved as soon as he opens his mouth obviously shows that this song is special.
Even Tan Jing and Li Kun were surprised at this time.
They had heard a few of Zheng Qian's previous works, but it was so rare that such an amazing prelude, the first line of lyrics made everyone's eyes light up.
Backstage, Yu Qianxi and others, who had not yet played, were also shining at the moment, even Zhang Qiusheng, who was hostile to Zheng Qian, was deeply intoxicated by Zheng Qian's singing at this moment......
And the audience in the audience, just after listening to this short paragraph, already felt their scalps tingle......
Everyone's goosebumps all over their bodies are in a big patch!
It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the level that a would-be champion singer should have!
That's so good!
Everyone stood up and waved their sticks.
Especially the humble fans, all of them are full of smiles on their faces at this moment, and there is pride and pride in their smiles.
Zheng Qian's singing voice at the moment is very pure, and he deliberately creates a hint of hoarseness, because his timbre is too high, and it is obviously impossible to get the effect of Xu Wei's great god, he can only try his best to lower his voice and create a trace of smoke in a self-harming way.
And this kind of singing simply made everyone at the scene intoxicated:
"The girl who once made your heart ache
Now it is gone
Love always makes you yearn and feel annoyed
It has left you bruised all over your body."
The atmosphere reached a critical point!
At the moment when the audience fell into madness, Zheng Qian raised his head slightly, revealing a confident and free appearance.
Then, as if he was about to tear his throat, with a force that pierced through the sky, he sang hard:
“dilililidilililidada
......
Walk on the road to courage
dilililidilililidada
......
It's sad and wonderful."
The climax of this chic chorus instantly ignited the entire studio.
All the audience excitedly shouted with all their strength.
At this moment, the focus in people's eyes is only Zheng Qian.
Everyone was excited and shouted!
Some people even can't hold back their tears because they are emotional!
No one thought that the chorus could be sung like this!
But it's also ......
This kind of emotion hidden in the song is already a realm that no words can really express.
It represents the emotions of a generation.
Everyone listened in fascination.
This time, Zheng Qian's singing almost threw away all the tricks, no falsetto, no vibrato, and no treble.
It's just a seemingly calm, unpretentious singing.
And the feelings revealed in the song are also extraordinarily natural.
There seems to be a huge magic in this song, which makes people can't help but have a beautiful yearning for the world described by the singer.
"Every time it's sad
Just look at the sea alone
I always think of my friends who are walking on the road
How many are waking up
Let's dry this glass
A good man's heart is like the sea
has experienced the ups and downs of life
This smile is warm and innocent......"
When the song was finished, the audience was silent.
The lights on the stage are also starting to return to normal.
When they heard Zheng Qian say "thank you" in the empty and quiet studio, everyone seemed to wake up like a dream.
Some of the audience who were excited and moved to tears also suddenly broke away from the artistic conception of the song.
Only then did they realize their embarrassment.
Looking at the companions left and right, I found that most of them were in the same state as myself.
Someone sneered.
For a moment, people looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
This is the charm of the scene, which makes people can't help but immerse themselves in the song.
After nearly ten seconds, when He Ling and Lin Xiang walked onto the stage excitedly and stood beside Zheng Qian, the entire studio remembered the thunderous applause.
"Good, good song!"
"This is rock 'n' roll, right? A man with his own reverb, even if it's a guitar, he sings so dynamically, he loves it!"
"Zheng Qian is amazing, this is my favorite song! Although his songs are all good, I just like this one the most!"
"The girl who once made you feel distressed is now quietly gone, this lyric is really heart-wrenching!"
"It's really a trip in vain to hear such a song tonight!!"
"Although I feel that what you said is too exaggerated, I still can't help but nod, you are right!"
The cheers and screams of the scene came and went.
The thunderous applause lasted even longer, and everyone stood up and paid their most sincere respect to Zheng Qian.
Tribute to a brave, persistent, strong, and confident singer!
In today's music scene, which singer stands on a similar position, dares to step out of his comfort zone and bring new attempts to the audience and fans at such a critical moment?
Zheng Qian had shocked everyone when he sang "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" last time, but the effect was surprisingly good.
This time, this song "Once You" still put aside Zheng Qian's own unique treble strength, broke his own shackles, and brought a new way of singing.
There has never been a style that has been able to completely tie him down!
Looking at the audience in front of him who had been applauding for a long time, He Ling sighed with emotion.
As a witness who has accompanied "Chinese Idol" all the way to today, no matter what others say, but in He Ling's heart, in fact, the champion has long been destined - that is the real Zheng Qian!
In terms of talent and songwriting alone, Zheng Qian alone is enough to sweep the entire "Chinese Idol"!
This is the absolute uncrowned king.
It's just possible, sometimes, that the outcome is not what one expects......
He Ling sighed.
He clearly saw the situation clearly
At this time, Lin Xiang also smiled.
Her thoughts are the same as He Ling's, and she also thinks that Zheng Qian is already the uncrowned king of the show.
But in this show, it's not that you can really win the championship because you are popular.
She picked up the microphone and said a few words, but the audience's warm applause lasted for a long time......
In this state, the show cannot be carried out.
Because the applause of the audience has overshadowed the host's voice!
Fortunately, Zheng Qian took the initiative to raise his hand to signal that the fans could calm down.
So the audience fell silent in an instant.
The director Li Dongtian was completely speechless.
Zheng Qian's popularity and prestige today are no longer the same as they were at the beginning.
Li Dongtian was in a complicated mood, both pleased with his vision, after all, Zheng Qian was personally selected by him, but he felt powerless to control Zheng Qian.
Nowadays, there is a lot of controversy within the company.
There are all kinds of solutions.
But the final decision is still in the hands of Li Dongtian, who created Tianhao Shengshi and has absolute dominance.
But to this day, Li Dongtian still hasn't figured out a solution.
Is it to push the boat with the current, or to ignore public opinion and manipulate the final situation?
After thinking about it for so many days, Li Dongtian actually had an answer in his heart.
At this moment, the applause is still.
All the audience calmed down and sat down again one after another.
On the judges' seat, Shen Li looked at Zheng Qian directly, suddenly laughed, broke the tranquility of the scene, and said: "Zheng Qian, I am very happy that China can have a musician like you!"
"You're in the best of times, and this era hasn't failed you, and you've lived up to this era. ”
Shen Li turned around and said with a smile to the audience: "We didn't have such a good environment back then, and even a person's life became a problem at that time, and you still expect him to listen to rock and roll?"
"But now it's different, life is getting better, but rock 'n' roll is also gone, and there is basically no rock in the popular songs on the market now. ”
Shen Li's expression was a little lonely: "People think I do a good job in folk songs, but in fact, I was also in the rock circle back then." ”
"My idol is Cui Pingjian Cui Ye, do you know Cui Ye, the godfather of rock music, so my dream at that time was to become a rock singer like Cui Ye, at that time, he was very simple, he was dedicated to rock and roll, no matter how many difficulties he encountered, he only needed to say that everything was for his dreams, and he could grit his teeth and persevere......
"But when I was at the worst, in order to pay the rent, I sold my favorite electric guitar, and when I turned around and left the second-hand piano dealership, I burst into tears......
The audience was silent.
Shen Li looked at Zheng Qian and said with a smile: "I feel that you are very similar to Cui Ye when he was young, do you know? When Cui Ye first mixed in the rock circle, he also came out of the arena through one competitive stage, and later he became the king of the rock circle!
Zheng Qian didn't expect this judge to be so talkative, and he was obviously very touched after listening to his singing.
I didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only thank you.
Shen Li smiled: "Alas, after listening to your song, I really miss the era when I was born for rock and roll and died for rock and roll......
Although Shen Li was full of emotion, Tan Jing and Li Kun did not have much empathy.
The two are singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and according to their status, they also belong to Cui Pingjian's level, at this time, listening to Shen Li touting Cui Pingjian so much, Tan Jing and Li Kun both laughed and did not speak.
Because ten years ago, they and Cui Pingjian were known as the three major singers of Hong Kong, land and Taiwan.
It's just that, unlike Tan Jing and Li Kun, who often appear in front of various media channels, Cui Pingjian never accepts announcements from commercial performances and variety shows.
With Cui Pingjian's current status in the music world, he will no longer pursue popularity.
In an exclusive interview with the media, Cui Pingjian once said that other people's applause will become a cage, and praise from the outside world will also become a shackle.
And the so-called dreams and distances, and real happiness, are forever separated by a river.
In Cui Pingjian's view, it is actually good to be bland, unsuccessful, not famous, not depressed, not covered with bruises, even if you spend your life with nothing.
This is obviously different from the concepts of Tan Jing and Li Kun, the two singers of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
At this time, Tan Jing smiled and greeted Zheng Qian: "I just attended your birthday banquet a few days ago, but I didn't expect to meet here again, are you okay?"
"It's good. Zheng Qian said.
Hearing Tan Jing's words, the host He Ling was surprised and said, "Zheng Qian, do you know Tan Jing?"
Before Zheng Qian could answer, Tan Jing preemptively said: "Of course we know, we know each other very well, Qian Tsai recently released a record in Hong Kong, and I have a cheer, and I heard that Andy bought a full hundred copies in order to show his support." ”
The audience burst into cheers.
Many people actually know that Andy and Zheng Qian once had a cooperative relationship, Andy's now very popular song "Seventeen Years Old" was written by Zheng Qian himself, which is no longer a secret in the circle, and you can know it with a little inquiry.
Andy has praised Cheng Qian in many public places, which is a well-known thing.
However, everyone is not too surprised, because Andy has brought too many juniors.
Li Kun also spoke: "One of you is nostalgic and the other is reminiscing, then I'll comment on the song Zheng Qian just sang!"
"I think this song, in fact, is not about rock or not, but in this song there is an expression of the meaning of life and attitude towards life, I think this is a kind of open-mindedness in leisure, broad-mindedness in happiness, open-mindedness, never impatient, not sad or happy, calmly facing the surroundings of the world, after a long time, I feel that even in the worst days, there is a kind of faith supporting myself, just like a sunflower, always growing towards the sun!"
"That's why this song can bring us so much emotion!"
Li Kun smiled and said, "I don't dare to say anything else, but Zheng Qian has brought me a very good feeling this time, and you will definitely be able to advance." ”
"Yes, if I were a public judge, I would definitely vote for you. ”
Shen Li also nodded and said, "You deserve to think of a better position to sprint." ”
Hearing this, the host Lin Xiang smiled, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Zheng Qian, do you think you can win the championship?"
Zheng Qian did not hesitate: "Yes." ”
The audience instantly felt tears in their eyes, and the scene applauded continuously, and once again broke out into huge applause and cheers.
Then, Zheng Qian left the stage.
Wait for the other contestants to finish their performances and announce the final results.
Yu Qianxi and Su Jing's play has always been stable.
In fact, singers like them, not to mention experienced in many battles, but they already have a lot of stage experience, so they won't make mistakes easily.
And Song Zixun played at a super level, and a mouthful of the most popular rap-style rap song at the moment was applauded by many audiences.
Finally, the live broadcast is coming to an end.
Zheng Qian and six other contestants took to the stage and began to accept the votes of the public judges.
It is worth mentioning that from the beginning of this competition, the number of public judges has increased from the initial 35 to 99.
There are nine rows of ten people in each row.
Each person has six number plates in their hands, representing the six players who have appeared in succession.
After the host's order, the public judges in the first row began to raise the number plate in their hands and vote.
But what is more surprising is that six of the ten public judges in the first row voted for No. 6, Song Zixun!
And Zheng Qian is worth two votes!
Su Jing and Yu Qianxi each received one vote
Not only the parties were shocked, but even the host opened his mouth wide and looked incredulous.
The audience was also in an uproar.
"Is it finally coming?"
"Shady!!"
Quite a few people protested.
However, when the public judges in the second row showed their numbered plates, similar protests were much quieter.
This time, Zheng Qian alone received 5 votes.
The rest of the five players, except for Jiang Ruolin, each received one vote.
The suspense continues.
When the vote tables of all the public judges were revealed, the protests of the audience suddenly became much louder.
99 viewers, with six abstentions.
The number of valid votes is 93.
But Song Zixun alone won 39 votes.
Zheng Qian received 32 votes.
Su Jing received 13 votes.
Yu received 7 votes.
Zhang Qiusheng received 2 votes.
Jiang Ruolin, zero votes.
The Great Reversal!
Although except for Jiang Ruolin, everyone was promoted.
But Song Zixun, who was in the middle and lower reaches of the market in the past with votes, suddenly won a high number of votes and took the first place in one fell swoop, and even the light overshadowed Zheng Qian.
This is obviously something that no one expected.
