405, the showdown

As the chief director of "We Are Singers", Cheng Tao definitely hopes to leave excellent singers on the stage, and also hopes to make this competitive stage as fair and just as possible.

Unfortunately, there are always people who use their power to interfere, and the most frustrating and infuriating thing is that they are able to do it.

After listening to Cheng Tao's explanation, Chen Zhe understood.

"So...... I only have two ways now – either I'll lose to Wang Xiaoqin in tomorrow's match, or tomorrow's match will be my last match on the Singer stage, right?"

"Yes. Cheng Tao sighed and said, "Chen Zhe, you are the most potential newcomer I have ever seen, and you are also an excellent singer, from my point of view, I hope you will endure this time and stay on the stage."

Anyway, you have already beaten Wang Xiaoqin in the last game, this one should be regarded as saving some face for him, so that he doesn't lose so ugly, okay?"

In the face of Cheng Tao's persuasion, Chen Zhe shook his head with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng Tao, no.

It's not my character.

If I wanted to cheat, I had already deliberately let go of the water in my last fight, and since I decided to give it my all in my last fight, this one will certainly be no exception. ”

Hearing Chen Zhe's answer, Cheng Tao was not surprised.

He had long known that Chen Zhe would not compromise with Wang Xiaoqin, let alone bow to power, but he still tried to persuade: "Chen Zhe, don't you cherish this stage at all? As a newcomer, if you can sing on the stage of "Singer" for ten years, this will be very helpful to your popularity......

Chen Zhe smiled: "Of course I cherish the stage of "Singer". But compared to the stage of "Singer", I cherish my reputation more and cherish the fairness and justice I uphold in my heart.

If this stage requires me to fight for it by cheating, then I would rather give it up because this stage has been tarnished and it is not worth it for me to stand on it and perform. ”

"Chen Zhe, you don't need to be like this at all, you can be more tactful, which is more conducive to your ......development," Cheng Tao tried to persuade again.

Chen Zhe waved his hand:

"No need, Mr. Cheng, I am used to living with a straight back, although sometimes I will hit the eaves and break the blood flow on my head, but I am really not used to bending over to walk. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Tao knew that he couldn't persuade Chen Zhe.

"Alas......"

He sighed softly and said regretfully,

"Blame me for failing to protect you, and blame me for failing to protect the show...... From the first season to the present, "We Are Singers" is like my children.

I also want my children to be pure forever and not be defiled by outsiders, but I don't have the ability, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

After that, Cheng Tao got up gently, patted Chen Zhe's shoulder and said:

"Now that you've made your choice, come on tomorrow. ”

"I will, Mr. Cheng Tao. Chen Zhe replied softly, and then sent him out of the room.

After Cheng Tao left, Chen Zhe silently closed the door, walked to the window, and looked at the prosperous night of S City through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something.

Tomorrow's song may be the last song he sings on the stage of "Singer".

"I didn't expect to say goodbye so soon. Chen Zhe smiled helplessly and said to himself, "Since it's a farewell, let's leave a perfect end to this memory." ”

……

Following.

The recording of the fourth episode of "We Are Singers" is in full swing in S City.

Because this is a knockout match, all the singers are gearing up and showing off their own pressing at the bottom of the box, for fear that they will lose the chance to advance to the next round if they are ranked lower.

In addition, everyone's song selection in the last round was restricted, and this issue is even more of a breath in everyone's hearts, eager to burst out the power of the desolation in the body, and be ashamed.

Today's Chen Zhe is very preoccupied, and he is inevitably recalling what Cheng Tao said to him last night, choosing fair competition, then it is equivalent to losing the opportunity to play later, if you want to keep this stage, you must deliberately lose to Wang Xiaoqin today.

During the rehearsal, in the backstage of "Singer", Chen Zhe met Wang Xiaoqin by chance.

Although he was defeated by Chen Zhe's subordinates, Wang Xiaoqin had a high-spirited face when he saw Chen Zhe.

"Chen Zhe, the last game was very showy? Don't forget that there is an old saying that a gun shoots a bird, and people who are too showy are easy to be unlucky. Wang Xiaoqin said aggressively.

In the face of Wang Xiaoqin's provocation, Chen Zhe responded flatly: "Each other, weren't the Xiaoqin brothers also very showy in the last game?"

"Huh?"

Wang Xiaoqin was stunned by Chen Zhe's words, frowned and asked, "I...... How did I get in the limelight?"

Chen Zhe smiled: "Ranked first from the bottom, applause is sparse...... Sometimes the level is too vegetable, and it is also an alternative showmanship. ”

"You ......" Wang Xiaoqin's face was flushed, he resisted the impulse to erupt on the spot, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Zhe, you'd better be smart for me today, Cheng Tao should have talked to you, right?" Do you know what the price of being in the limelight is!"

Chen Zhe smiled freely, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever you want, Wang Xiaoqin, but please remember, even if you get me out of the stage of "Singer", it can't change the fact that you are a rookie." ”

After that, Chen Zhe floated away, leaving only Wang Xiaoqin, who was clenched with his teeth, standing in place resentfully.

……

After the song selection and rehearsal were over, the recording of the fourth phase officially began.

Chen Zhe took the lead in coming to the stage as the host of the series and started the recording of this episode of the program.

After a few simple greetings, Chen Zhe began to introduce the first singer to appear, and the order of appearance in this issue is determined according to the ranking of the previous issue, so the first to appear is Wang Xiaoqin, who ranked first from the bottom in the previous issue.

The singer who will come on next may not be familiar to everyone, and some people can't even remember which song he sang in the last show......

Because the singer is a newcomer, a newcomer in every way.

But it doesn't matter, if everyone forgets his name and his voice, then in this competition, everyone can get to know this newcomer again.

He is the newcomer singer who ranked first from the bottom in the last competition - Wang Xiaoqin!"

Chen Zhe's brief and vicious introduction led to today's first competing singer Wang Xiaoqin, and standing next to the stage, the green tendons on Wang Xiaoqin's forehead loomed.

Because Chen Zhe is so good that he can't die, he has to mention the ranking of his last competitive competition, and this kind of humiliation in front of the audience is really resentful.

"Damn Chen Zhe, I'll ask my uncle to remove you from "Singer" when I go back today!"

He said through gritted teeth, and then walked onto the stage with the microphone.

Today, Wang Xiaoqin sang a new song, the name of this song is "She on Campus", which is a typical campus ballad, with a simple melody, simple lyrics, and simple arrangement.

Compared with the previous non-existent performance, this one was the first to sing, so Wang Xiaoqin's performance finally made some people remember.

In addition, the difficulty of this song is low, but the melody is still excellent, so there are no flaws in the whole performance.

After he finished singing, the audience politely applauded him, compared with the applause in the previous issue, today's applause for Wang Xiaoqin is already very generous.

Wang Xiaoqin himself was also very satisfied with this result, and walked off the stage with a smile on his face, and when he passed by Chen Zhe, he couldn't help but say: "This is my real strength!"

Chen Zhe smiled speechlessly, didn't bother to argue with him anymore, walked on the stage, and introduced the second competing singer Hu Lei to the stage.

Because he ranked second to last in the last issue, Hu Lei must be magnifying his moves this time, and what he brought this time was one of his popular works - "The Man Who Left Home", and the prelude of this song was exchanged for a full house as soon as the prelude came out.

As the first lyrics were sung, Hu Lei's calm and vicissitudes of voice instantly resounded throughout the stage.

Compared with Wang Xiaoqin's pale and weak singing skills just now, Hu Lei's voice is like a textbook for baritone, as the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the direct comparison between the two is like a public execution of Wang Xiaoqin.

Listening to Hu Lei's singing on the stage, Cheng Tao, the chief director of the backstage, couldn't help but shake his head, and said with emotion in his heart:

Wang Xiaoqin always felt that Chen Zhe was targeting him in the last game, and deliberately came up with that amazing singing in front of him...... But in fact, it's just that the gap between the two is too big, so this effect is just shown.

This scene avoided Chen Zhe in the order of appearance, but didn't Hu Lei, who sang next, also crush him with no scum left? This is not aimed at all, it is just an objective gap in strength......

Alas......

I hope Wang Xiaoqin can figure this out and stop targeting Chen Zhe. ”

At this moment, Wang Xiaoqin didn't realize this at all, he still felt that his song today was excellent, and Hu Lei's singing was not even stronger than himself.

Sitting backstage listening to Hu Lei's singing voice on the stage, Wang Xiaoqin also compared this singing voice with his performance just now.

It's just that he didn't admit the gap between the two, but pondered without self-awareness: "Is this Hu Lei......'s real strength? In today's game, I must prove my strength!"

But soon after Hu Lei's performance, the applause of the audience spoke for itself.

This time, the applause was far warmer than Wang Xiaoqin's applause, and the audience even stood up from their seats excitedly and shouted Hu Lei's name loudly.

Next, Yu Ying appeared, and she also released her ultimate.

A classic song "Landscapes in Other Places" was sung, and the soft and gentle style of the song immediately attracted applause from the audience.

And Zhang Chonghua, the fourth on the stage, is still steady, she still sang a song full of classical charm, in exchange for the audience's respect and recognition of applause.

After the top four singers finished singing, Chen Zhe announced the real-time rankings, among the top four singers, Hu Lei is currently ranked first with his song "The Man Who Left Home"!

Hearing this result, Wang Xiaoqin, who felt good about himself, finally couldn't sit still, because he was the first to sing, and he still had an absolute advantage in the real-time rankings, if he couldn't beat the singers behind him in the real-time rankings, then he could only lose in the next game!

"No, I can't afford to lose again, this match is my last hope!"

The anxious Wang Xiaoqin turned around and left the backstage and went directly to the film crew to find Cheng Tao, if the ranking continues to be in the bottom two, then he is likely to be eliminated.

It was not easy for his uncle to help him get the seat of the singer in "Singer", and he didn't want to waste it like this.

rushed straight to the film crew, Wang Xiaoqin's abnormal performance aroused the suspicion of the surrounding staff, because most people didn't know Wang Xiaoqin's special identity, so everyone was puzzled when they saw a contestant suddenly come to the film crew.

"Wang Xiaoqin, what are you doing with the film crew?"

"Mr. Wang, you can't come in here. ”

"Wang Xiaoqin, aren't you a competition singer? Competition singers are not allowed to get close to the film crew until the end of the competition......

Hearing the surprised voice of the staff, the chief director Cheng Tao hurriedly got up and went out to greet him.

"Is this guy Wang Xiaoqin crazy? What are you doing with the film crew? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to cause trouble for me?" Cheng Tao pondered angrily.

walked to the door of the film crew and saw Wang Xiaoqin standing outside.

"Uncle Cheng, I'm ......" Wang Xiaoqin was so anxious that he directly shouted out his usual name in a hurry.

The staff next to him were stunned after hearing this.

"Uncle Cheng?"

"This Wang Xiaoqin, Teacher Cheng Tao is called Uncle Cheng?"

"Is he a relative of Teacher Cheng Tao?"

Seeing that the rumors around him were gradually spreading, Cheng Tao hurriedly walked towards Wang Xiaoqin nervously.

"Why did you come here, don't you know that the participating singers are strictly forbidden to go this way?" Cheng Tao's voice became a little more stern in a hurry, and he reproached in a low voice.

Wang Xiaoqin frowned, and asked nervously, "Uncle Cheng, I want to ask ......"

Cheng Tao hurriedly interrupted: "Don't call me Uncle Cheng in front of others, do you want to harm me or your uncle?"

"Understood, Teacher Cheng Tao......" Wang Xiaoqin said reluctantly, "How many votes do I have for this time?

Hearing this question, Cheng Tao sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Qin, I should have helped you, you should be able to feel it......, right?

"Maybe what? Maybe I'm not suitable to be a singer?" Wang Xiaoqin asked in a deep voice, "This is impossible, I have been recognized by many professionals since I was a child, and they all say that I am a natural singer!"

Cheng Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Qin, to be honest, I have already helped everything I can, and I have done everything I can to you......"

Wang Xiaoqin was extremely dissatisfied, clenched his fists and said: "Do everything you can? The result of all your efforts is that I will be eliminated in two games? I don't care, Cheng Tao, I don't care what other methods you have, in short, if I am eliminated in this game today, then we will not be done with this matter!"
