Chapter Seventy-Six: Provincial Champion

"How are you?"

Zhang Kexuan came to the stage this time, no longer like in the preliminary round, he came up to introduce himself first, this time, he directly greeted the audience, which shows that he has made great progress in terms of mentality.

A hello caused the girls to scream again, especially the female students of Jinling University, whose enthusiasm was simply bursting.

Zhang Kexuan said: "The song we brought to you this time is another original song of ours, "Sunflower"

The audience boiled again......

Chen Wan stood on tiptoe and spat hot air in Li Mu's ear and said, "My brother is really not ashamed, obviously it is your original!"

Li Mu laughed: "If you want to be popular and become famous, you have to be shameless, if he can't even do this, he is destined to be out of Jinling." ”

Chen Wan nodded thoughtfully, her eyes staring at Zhang Kexuan on the stage, full of anticipation.

At this time, Zhang Kexuan turned around and signaled to several other members of the band, and drummer Ye Tianming struck the drumstick four times, and then the prelude to the sunflower sounded.

When Xie Tianxiao, the original author of "Sunflower", became famous, he was already a rock veteran who had been in the underground band circle for more than ten years, and he paid more attention to the catharsis of strength and the expression of emotions in the handling of his singing, rather than how to sing a song better.

But under the guidance of Li Mu, Zhang Kexuan gradually found his own positioning, and his singing voice and style are completely pop-rock routes, although it feels not rock and roll enough, but it is more popular with listeners and can please the ears of most listeners.

Therefore, when Zhang Kexuan sang "Sunflower", the audience screamed and cheered while enjoying his singing voice and the positive energy conveyed by the song "Sunflower".

A seed born in the mud breaks free from the shackles of darkness and blooms into the sun.

Although the lyrics have only a simple theme, they are more acceptable to the audience than those cynical rock works, and they are easier to move the audience than those obscure and complex lyrics.

Not only the audience listened to it, but even several judges in the audience were surprised, it was difficult to see such a rock work, which was good, inspirational and moving.

Among the eight bands participating in the semi-finals tonight, the simple plan "Sunflower" is the only positive song, and from the lyrics, to the singing to the arrangement, it surpasses the competition in an all-round way, and it is not on the same level at all.

Li Mu listened quietly, and gave full marks to the performance of Zhang Kexuan and the other three in his heart.

This time, their live performance was impeccable, much more effective than every rehearsal, because they brought the atmosphere of thousands of people in the audience, so that everyone swayed to their rhythm and was captured by their music.

"Sunflower, will you continue to bloom......"

Zhang Kexuan has been suppressing his voice, and let himself try to follow what Li Mu said: close to the pop singing, don't black voice, don't deliberately break and tear the sound, but the performance made him too excited, the last sentence of the end, he suddenly burst out of the energy that had been pent up for a long time, and a roar instantly pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a peak, Li Mu even felt that his ears were almost deafened by the screams of the fans around him!

Li Mu's eyes flashed with a bright light, Zhang Kexuan's last roar was the finishing touch, as if the seed of the sunflower was struggling to explode when it broke out of all the encirclement, it felt really good.

Li Mu couldn't help but applaud, he knew that Zhang Kexuan was distracted, and he also knew that Zhang Kexuan did have the potential to be popular.

THE SONG'S OUTRO IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE INTRO, AND THIS ARRANGEMENT IS INTENDED TO FORM A KIND OF LOOP IN THE OVERALL FORM, MEANING "THE BEGINNING IS ALSO THE END".

After the last note of the simple plan was played, the applause of the audience lasted for a long time, and all the audience had already stood up halfway through their singing, and at this moment, everyone on the scene had the only champion of this competition in their minds, and the only champion was the simple plan.

The host came to the stage, and it took a minute for the audience to gradually quiet down, and this young woman in her twenties couldn't help but be excited by the simple planned performance, and even spoke with a trill, and after saying several times that it was great, before asking the judges to score, she also said to Zhang Kexuan with a look of admiration: "I, like many viewers today, am your fan." ”

Zhang Kexuan smiled, looking pampered and not surprised, but Li Mu had a certain understanding of him, and knew that this kid was probably excited at this moment.

The judges gave very high evaluations, especially the deputy music director of Yanjinglai's record company, who was the most unstinting in his praise, and said excitedly: "Kexuan, do you know, on the plane to Jinling this time, I was thinking about one thing, that is, what kind of original works can I come up with in this semi-final, I am worried that your last song "Li Bai" is your peak work, and I am afraid that you are just a ......flash in the pan in my eyes."

Speaking of this, the deputy director paused, raised his volume a little, and said in a straight voice: "But today, your song "Sunflower" proves that my worries are completely unnecessary, your song today is a little more rock and roll than "Li Bai" in terms of style and arrangement, but the lyrics are much more positive than "Li Bai", to be honest, I haven't heard such a positive rock song for a long time, which is eye-catching!"

The four people of the simple plan bowed and thanked one after another, and after all the judges' comments were over, they nervously waited for the release of the scores.

The host spoke at this time: "At present, among the seven bands in front of us, the most scored is the Sky City Band, their score is 22 points, and in the preliminary round, the simple plan has scored an amazing high score of 27 points, so, what kind of score can the judges give for today's simple plan "Sunflower"? Let's wait and see!"

The five judges began to write down their scores on the scoreboard, and a moment later, when the host asked the judges to show their scores, the audience let out an exclamation.

One 10 points, two 9.5 points, two 9 points.

For the judges, they are very clear about the positioning of this competition, basically the last domestic bands are not famous, and the strength level is much worse than that of professional bands, but in their eyes, the simple plan has surpassed this level, so this score is not an exaggeration for them.

So, remove a 10 points, remove a 9 points, and simply plan the final score of this rematch: 28 points!

A well-deserved semi-final champion!

The host also excitedly announced on the spot: "The first place in the Nansu Provincial Division of the Bingli Pioneer National Band Competition has finally been released, and it is the Simple Plan Band! Congratulations to them! On August 8, they will play the first round of finals in Yanjing with the champions of other 18 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions! Let us congratulate them and wish them better results in the finals!"

The deafening applause sounded again, Chen Wan also jumped happily, and even the parents of the band members raised their hands above their heads excitedly to applaud, these rich generations are all forty or fifty years old, and for the first time in more than 20 years, they are sincerely proud of their sons.

Zhang Kexuan on the stage was very excited, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and when he saw that the other three people were also red-eyed, one sideways took them over, and the four of them formed a circle, no one saw their faces, only they saw each other's excited faces, and silent low tears.

At this time, the host invited other participating bands to take the stage together, and the players of the other seven bands also stepped forward one by one to congratulate the four people of the simple plan, Li Mu received a text message from Zhang Kexuan at this time: "Brother Mu, the host said that he will be interviewed by the TV station in the background, and it may be a little later tonight, you must not leave, let's find a place to celebrate together at night!"

Li Mu looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock, and when they finished participating in the interview, there were still so many fans outside, although it was impossible to be surrounded like the superstars of later generations, but at least it would have to be delayed for a while, so when they could get out, I am afraid it would be after eleven o'clock.

Today, the parents of the four people who simply planned to be here are here, Chen Wan's parents are also there, the four of them want to celebrate, these elders naturally have to participate, and it will be abrupt for an outsider to be inside, and he doesn't like this kind of occasion very much.

Besides, Chen Wan had to go back to Haizhou after the train at twelve o'clock, and she sent her to the station.

So Li Mu sent a message back to Zhang Kexuan: "Congratulations on winning the championship first, in addition, a few of your brothers celebrate today, aren't there still your parents, I won't follow the blind mixing, I have to go back to Haizhou later." ”

After replying to the message, Li Mu looked at Chen Wan and asked, "Sister Wan, are you going to celebrate with them later?" Then I'll find a place to sit for a while, and tell me when you are ready to go to the station, I'll go to you." ”

"I don't want to go either. Rather than going to the celebration, Chen Wan wanted to stay quietly with Li Mu for a while.

Li Mu said: "It's not appropriate for you not to go, right? Besides, your parents are also here, it is estimated that they are also going to go, and they should send you to the station at night, how can you explain to them if you don't go?"

"Yes. Chen Wan pouted, and said a little unhappily: "Dad in the summer has a star-rated hotel in Jinling, he has already said that if he wins the championship, he will celebrate them in the hotel at night, the parents of the four of them, as well as my parents, will go, and it is really not suitable if I don't go..."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Wan suddenly said with a little joy: "Otherwise, I will tell them now that I want to meet a friend before leaving, and then we will find a place to sit for a while, and when it is past eleven o'clock, I will go to the hotel to show my face, which means it." ”

Li Mu nodded: "Okay." ”
