118, the national show
The live broadcast of the huge finals can be said to be both the finals and a huge national show.
Unlike previous competitions, many performances have been added this time.
After Zhang Xiaoping and the three hosts appeared, a five-minute VCR was playing on a huge screen.
A mellow male voice said: "Four years ago, we had a scorching pact with 1.4 billion Chinese in the middle of summer every year. ”
"The opening ceremony of "Today's Star" officially begins-" Zhang Xiaoping's voice sounded in the VCR, it was he who was hosting the launch of the first season of "Today's Star".
"Today's Star" uses the unique forms of the three tracks to explore the different charms of the contestants and gain the hearts of Chinese people around the world. Time flies like a white horse, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye......"
VCR briefly reviewed the highlights of the first three seasons of "Today's Star", spent a minute, and then entered the fourth season of the full rise, and began to review the experience from the audition to the final three.
The audience cheered constantly, especially when the idol they supported appeared on the VCR.
There was a sea of people in front of him, and a tsunami in his ears, Zhang Xiaoping's mood was agitated and he forced him to calm down. The first season of "Today's Star" was announced by him, and now it has hosted the fourth season, with an unprecedented scale and 100,000 people, which he never dared to imagine.
The finals of the first three seasons were only in a slightly larger studio hall, and the 100,000-person workers' cultural gymnasium was not considered at all, because the popularity of the show could not support it.
However, in the fourth season, thanks to the collective outbreak of the contestants, "Today's Star" rose strongly in the fourth season, surpassing "The Song of Nature" and "The Sound of Nature", and it is the hottest variety show this summer, and there is no one.
The most common topic that young people talk about when they meet is "Today's Star".
With confidence, the program team and the Miya Entertainment behind them dared to play a big game, this was not their whim, the result even exceeded expectations, 100,000 tickets were sold out within three days, and the audience's popularity was beyond imagination.
Watching the program he hosted from scratch, from childhood to adulthood, the overwhelming sense of accomplishment is stirring in Zhang Xiaoping's heart, just like watching his own children grow up.
"Today, on the last night of midsummer, in the cheers of 100,000 spectators, witnessed by hundreds of millions of Chinese around the world, we ushered in an exciting finals. Now, I announce that the fourth season of "Today's Star" finals have officially begun—"
Zhang Xiaoping looked up at the moon above the gymnasium, the air was pure, but the ground was hot, and he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
"Let's welcome the top 12 contestants of "Today's Star" with warm applause to bring us the song "Snail"!!!
There were mighty shouts at the scene, and if you listen carefully, you are shouting people's names, some shouting Li Xiang, some shouting Xu Zitong, some shouting Zheng Youshi, and some shouting others.
Flames erupt on the stage, and lights flicker.
“?? Should we put down the heavy shell??
?? Looking for a blue sky??"
Before anyone appeared, the singing had already spread throughout the venue.
The audience cheered loudly as soon as the voice sounded, and even the teachers in the box sighed and heard that it was the voice of the elder brother.
"Pigeon"
Dou Dou immediately jumped to the side of the teacher, jumped up, and shouted loudly Elephant Elephant, Dumbo Elephant.
In the singing, Li Xiang was the first to appear on the stage.
“?? With the gentle wind gently drifting??
?? You don't feel any pain from the injuries you've been through??"
Zheng Yoshi was the second to appear.
Then came Xu Zitong.
"Snail" may not be the best song in this season's show, but it is quite inspirational, and it is very appropriate to the theme of the show and the experience of the contestants, so it was selected as the opening song of the finals, and the top 12 contestants sang together.
After Xu Zitong, Luo Jianming, Shi Shu, Su Rui, Lu Shaoyan, Yang Ji Jingru, Jiao Andong and others appeared one by one.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you to the top 12 players, and let us welcome them with a round of applause again. Zhang Xiaoping came out to host, "Everyone, all the global viewers who are watching this live broadcast, please allow me to proudly introduce the three star promoters. ”
Wu Xuefei, Hou Jiankun and Yuan Changju appeared in the cheers of the scene.
Zhang Xiaoping: "Audiences from all over the world, today we will witness the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene at the sacred 100,000 Workers Cultural Stadium. The three championship candidates from the three major tracks, who will share the glory from the championship with their star promoters tonight, now, I want to share their hearts with you first. ”
The three star promoters respectively issued a pre-game declaration, "Today's Star" began to be divided into three tracks, and then the track was canceled into one, and now in the finals, the track format has been restored, and the top three players happen to be from three tracks, providing a very good gimmick for the finals.
The legend is useless, and the first three seasons always fell on the beauty track before the finals, but this time it rose strongly, not only squeezed into the finals, but also became a big favorite. Wu Xuefei participated in the music contestant program for the first time, and achieved results that had never been achieved by any rainbow before.
In the first three seasons of the finals, He Caihong was the most embarrassed, because nothing happened to her.
Now Wu Xuefei has finally risen with the beauty track, making the entire "Today's Star" more complete, and truly practicing the original intention of the show to set up three tracks.
Su Rui and the others left the stage to go backstage, and there were only three finalists and three star promoters left on the stage.
The competition is about to officially begin, and Zhang Xiaoping began to introduce the rules of the competition.
According to the old rules, the order of appearance is determined according to the real-time popularity ranking. Li Xiang firmly occupies the first place, Xu Zitong surpasses Zheng Youshi in second place, and Zheng Youshi lasts.
Zheng Youshi was the first to appear, and he will sing with his star promoter Hou Jiankun, and the song he brought is called "Sing Gently with Me", which is an old song.
Li Xiang and Concubine Wu Xue, Xu Zitong and Yuan Changju all left the stage and handed over the stage to the two of them.
"Sing Gently with Me" is a song by Hou Jiankun, which is widely sung. When the title of the song appeared on the big screen, the prelude sounded on the scene, followed by bursts of cheers. There were so many people that I couldn't hear what everyone was shouting. No matter what they shouted, they were quickly covered by the singing voices of Zheng Youshi and Hou Jiankun.
Li Xiang was standing at the corner of the stage, and people outside couldn't see him, but he could see the situation on the stage. Zheng Youshi was a little nervous, or maybe excited, and his voice was a little unsteady, but he quickly stabilized.
Wu Xuefei stood beside him, held his hand, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, don't treat this as the finals, just as your concert." ”
Li Xiang nodded. Before the finals, Concubine Wu Xue was more nervous than him, but she was experienced in a hundred battles, and when she really arrived at the scene, she calmed down and was much stronger than Li Xiang.
Wu Xuefei is right, this is not so much a finals as a concert. When Zheng Youshi and Hou Jiankun sang "Sing Gently with Me", the more they went to the back, the louder they sang along with the scene, and the stars were shining like the Milky Way, like a concert.
Xu Zitong and Yuan Changju then played.
What they brought was also an old song, called "Breeze Song", which is a classic song by Liu Guanglun, which is also widely sung and can be sung by everyone.
Li Xiang thought to himself, sure enough, everyone's songs are the same, they are all highly sung and can resonate with the audience. Such songs are more suitable for singing on big occasions and are flattering.
"I Only Like You" prepared by Li Xiang is also a very classic love song.
Xu Zitong's singing voice is a little "floating" and unstable. In the midst of all the attention, the mood is agitated, and it is even more difficult to sing a song calmly and steadily. What's more, Xu Zitong's singing skills are not good, he belongs to the "small voice", humming and singing is no problem, the treble can't go up, it can be said that he has no treble at all, in a small environment, such as indoors, or sitting in the crowd to sing, the effect will be very good, but in such a big occasion in front of him, his weaknesses are magnified many times, and he can't hold the scene, fortunately, Yuan Changju helps him.
