Chapter 306: A Shocking Breakout Match
On the weekend of the week when Xiao Yao was concentrating on rehearsing for the two songs in the finals of "Singer", the episode of the "Singer" breakout competition was also broadcast on TV and met with the audience. Unexpectedly, when this episode was broadcast, there was a large number of exclamations and... Rarely some controversy!
As the most prominent and topical figure in "Singer", after the weekly broadcast of "Singer", the media and the Internet are always indispensable for comments and controversies about Xiao Yao's performance in the show. But this routine weekly discussion tide has been experienced a lot, and the audience has slowly become accustomed to it.
The audience began to get used to the media's surprise and discussion of Xiao Yao's performance on "Singer", and if there were no comments about Xiao Yao in the media and on the Internet after the show was broadcast for a week, netizens would find it strange. Therefore, in the first two episodes of the program, whether it was Xiao Yao's jazz song playing the piano, or Xiao Yao's whistle and saxophone performances, although they were still amazing and eye-catching, they did not surprise the audience, so relatively speaking, everyone's enthusiasm for discussion was not very high.
However, after all, the breakout competition is different from the previous episodes, the number of participating singers is the largest, and it is a winner-or-loser, and the competition of eliminating six singers at once, the audience's attention to this episode of the show is much higher than the previous show, and what happened in the breakout competition is too incredible, so after the breakout game was broadcast, the media and the Internet discussed this game much more enthusiastically than the previous more than ten episodes.
The first breaking point of this episode of the show is naturally that the nine contestants who participated in the breakout competition all chose the song written by Xiao Yao, a competitor on the same stage, as their own competition tracks, turning a competition into a special concert of one's musical works. Such a thing, not to mention in Huaxia, has never happened in the TV program of any country in the world.
So this statement deliberately arranged by the program team was already very popular among netizens who watched the live broadcast on the Internet before the show ended. And some online media with a relatively fast response speed also sent out similar online news posts on their websites to push before the program was completely finished. Suddenly, the program team wanted to escort Xiao Yao to the finals, and even the rumor that he was designated as the champion was also spread on the Internet.
These comments and reports have already begun to appear before the show is finished, and in order to truly form a large-scale public opinion outburst, it will have to go through at least one night of fermentation. And before these remarks fermented and exploded, when the show came to an end, and the performance of Xiao Yao, the last person to appear, was broadcast, another big breaking point in the show appeared.
When Xiao Yao was halfway through the singing, suddenly Xiao Yao's lips were only seen moving on TV, but Xiao Yao's voice could not be heard, and the conductor and musicians of the band also stopped strangely. Seeing this, most viewers understand what happened, after all, it is not the first time that this kind of thing has been seen in TV shows in the past few years.
What makes the audience more strange is that since there was an equipment failure in a TV program in the first half of last year, and the singer's live re-singing caused a great controversy on the Internet, and scolded the program, even if this kind of accident was inevitable in the later TV programs, it was only edited into the footage of the accident and broadcast in the tidbits, telling the audience that there had been such an accident, so as to explain the reason for the special expressions of some viewers. There is no longer a show that will broadcast the singing of the accident and the subsequent re-singing. This episode of the show is not a live broadcast, why did it be released so much during the official competition without editing?
Next, Xiao Yao's performance solved the audience's doubts, and also made everyone more shocked than hearing the nine Xiao Yao songs before! Xiao Yao actually did not repeat the song, but walked to the front of the stage, and just sang a cappella without microphone and accompaniment to the audience.
When the microphone in Xiao Yao's hand suddenly broke, the TV audience did not hear any sound, and when Xiao Yao walked to the side of the stage to sing, the microphone in his hand was still the broken microphone, and it was not placed on his mouth, his voice was placed in several fixed positions in the audience, and the microphone used to record the applause, cheers and screams of the audience was recorded. At that time, apart from those few microphones, there was no one else on the scene with microphones.
What the audience hears is the sound of these microphones. The size, model, and purpose of these microphones are different from the microphones specially prepared for singers in Xiao Yao's hand, and the sound effects recorded in them must be very different. Although what I heard was Xiao Yao's slightly deteriorated singing, this voice and this scene were shocking enough.
Especially when the cheers and screams of the audience were together, Xiao Yao's voice immediately became blurred, and Xiao Yao's hand pressed down, the audience became quiet, Xiao Yao's voice became clear again, and the audience in front of the TV and computer also had a feeling of listening to the scene. You must know that in previous programs, the singer's microphone and the audience seat were separated from the recording, even if the audience shouted loudly, it did not affect the TV audience to hear the singer's voice on the stage.
Forcing an unaccompanied cappella singing without microphone amplification was enough to surprise the audience, but what they didn't expect was that Xiao Yao actually signaled the band to continue playing, and sang along with the amplified accompaniment music without amplification equipment.
Yes, TV viewers know that Xiao Yao gestured to Liu Tong. There are several cameras in the studio, although the audience did not see Xiao Yao's gesture to Liu Tong quietly, but not only Tao Ran saw it, but also the cameraman who was focusing on him, and one of the cameras also deliberately gave Xiao Yao a close-up of that gesture. Liu Tong's expression at that time was also captured by the camera, and after editing the footage of the two together, the TV audience could easily understand the explanation of the program team: Liu Tong commanded the musicians to re-play because of Xiao Yao's signal, and even the change in the rhythm and speed of the music accompaniment in the back is inseparable from the few numbers made by Xiao Yao with his fingers.
Seeing this, many viewers have doubts about the statement that the previous program team wants to escort Xiao Yao to the finals. At first, Xiao Yao's voice disappeared, and when everyone guessed that Xiao Yao's microphone was broken, many people suspected that it was the arrangement of the program team, which was nothing more than arranging a repeat to let Xiao Yao sing a song one more time, so that the audience would have a deeper impression and take advantage of the vote.
But what happened later immediately dispelled this speculation. In the competition, a singer sings a cappella without a microphone to a few hundred viewers in a studio, or even sings with a human voice or even against the accompaniment music coming out of the sound without a microphone? No program group would be brain-dead enough to propose this kind of design, and no singer would be brain-dead enough to dare to agree to such an arrangement.
Don't say that Xiao Yao's singing voice is also fake, it is also the kind of words made in the later stage, not to mention Xiao Yao's slightly deteriorated sound quality, the crazy performance of the audience is enough to explain the authenticity of this matter. It's normal for a few viewers of TV shows to burst into tears at the camera, and I am afraid that no program can do it if hundreds of viewers are all in the audience to cooperate with the madness of the performance. When Xiao Yao finished singing, a long shot was given in the TV screen, which swept the crazy expressions of the audience.
Besides, the other nine singers are not clay wood carvings. If you deliberately make a device failure, they may not be able to say anything, but they can accept it, but you let the three promoted singers and hundreds of audiences perform a big show for Xiao Yao? This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to hide from the singers who participated in the competition, I am afraid that some singers have already withdrawn from the competition and broke the news. This is a recorded program recorded two weeks ago, and so far, no singer has publicly claimed that he wants to withdraw from the competition or broke the news that the program team is cheating.
The breakout competition of this episode of the show ended with Xiao Yao's unexpected and crazy performance, and when it came to the later announcement of the results, all the people watching TV almost believed that Xiao Yao could definitely enter the final with this performance, if Xiao Yao did not enter the finals, everyone was afraid that they would shout that the show was shady and deliberately suppressed the young newcomers. But with Xiao Yao's performance in this show and his current topic heat, the program team is afraid that only the collective brain convulsions will deliberately exclude him from the finals. Therefore, for the audience, the suspense of this episode of the show has also changed from which four singers will advance to the finals to which three singers will enter the finals with Xiao Yao.
In the period before the results were announced, the show only released the arrogant "who else" dialogue when Xiao Yao was in the corridor with Shen Man after the singing, as well as the praise of Xiao Yao's performance by other singers after entering the lounge hall and Xiao Yao's thanks for singing their own songs. As for the fact that a group of singers rushed for the right to cover Xiao Yao's songs like robbers, the program team probably took into account the image of the singers and did not release it, but played Xiao Yao's performance when he just saw the script in his room before the start of the competition in the form of an interlude.
On the one hand, the fact that nine singers chose Xiao Yao's song at the same time is indeed a big highlight of this episode, the program team does not want to expose it to the audience before the competition starts, but wants the audience to find out for themselves after watching the singers' performances.
On the other hand, the program team also considered that after the program was broadcast, it would definitely attract the audience's speculation that this kind of scene was deliberately arranged by the program team, and at this time, the performance of Xiao Yao at that time was released in the program was also a response to this speculation. Through Xiao Yao's performance and Shen Man's words, remind everyone: The participating singers in this show are all big names, no one will let the program team knead, and it is impossible for these nine people to choose songs according to the arrangement of the program team, and cooperate with the program team to support one person!
After the final results were announced, Xiao Yao unexpectedly won the first place in the breakout competition, and when Tao Ran said this ranking, whether it was the other nine singers or their agents in the studio at that time, their expressions were also quite convincing, and the expressions when congratulating Xiao Yao were also very sincere, and there was no shadow of being arranged by the program team at all.
For the other three players who advanced, although netizens were a little skeptical, the overall controversy was not very big.
Although the two biggest explosions of this breakout match are about Xiao Yao, after the show was broadcast, there was a lot less controversy surrounding Xiao Yao before. Maybe as Shen Man said, Xiao Yao used to be the most black, saying that he relied on musical instruments, costumes, and off-board tricks in the show, but this time Xiao Yao had no musical instruments, no guests, no special performance clothes, and in the end, he didn't even have a microphone, and he could still sing so crazy that the audience was so crazy, who could say that he didn't sing well, didn't deserve to participate in this show, and was not qualified to enter the finals?
As for the fact that nine singers sang Xiao Yao's songs at the same time, there are still a lot of good things The media went to interview some of the singers involved.
"Xiao Yao's music works have won more than 20 nominations and seven or eight trophies in the two "Golden Disc" Awards, he is the youngest winner of the best creative newcomer in Chinese history, the best songwriter nominee, who doesn't know that his songs are well written? Isn't it normal for me to choose his songs as my competition songs?"
"When did you ever hear that this show arranges singers to choose songs? If they have the final say on what songs to sing, I won't come to this show!"
"Xue Ying also sang his song in front of Xiao Yao in the show, why can't I? Xue Ying sang Xiao Yao's song but won the first place in the current issue, I also want to win the first place in the breakout competition, can't I? He didn't say that others can't sing his song in the show!"
"Xiao Yao is the singer who impressed me the most in the show, and it is normal for me to think of his songs when I choose songs!"
"I'm surprised by this situation, but it's certainly not something we agreed on in advance, and this kind of thing can't be discussed. We are all opponents in the breakout competition, who will ask other singers what songs they are going to sing in the breakout competition? But then I saw Xiao Yao's frightened expression when he got the script in the show, and I was very happy! I can only say that we have too much tacit understanding!"
Although the answers of several singers interviewed were different, their attitudes were very consistent.
Therefore, after the broadcast of this breakout match, there was not much controversy in the media and on the Internet about Xiao Yao's performance and the results of advancing to the finals, and there were not many remarks accusing the program team and Xiao Yao of cheating. This breakout match left only one feeling in the hearts of the audience, that is, shock!
