Chapter 345: Slightly Injured.
When the cheers of the audience subsided, Yoo Jae-seok began to introduce the players who represented the three sides of the team competition one by one.
First of all, what is surprising is that the first Korean player to participate in the competition is not the only male singer, but the lead singer of the girl group.
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, obviously quite puzzling about the choice of the Korean team, and the Korean audience and international students were also in an uproar, in everyone's impression, the reason why the team debuted was not because of insufficient strength to make its debut alone? Is she really qualified to compete with the top singers of China and Japan on such an occasion?
Li Mu also frowned slightly, but of course he didn't think that the Korean team was crazy, and dared to make such an arrangement at his home stadium, there should be some killer feature.
And the Japanese side came out of the station thinking that she was a female singer, although she couldn't see her appearance clearly while wearing a mask, but looking at her calm state on the stage, she was obviously a battle-hardened veteran.
And Ye Xin, who played on the Chinese side, was not too surprising to everyone, after all, Huang Zilan and their chorus must be the most stable, and Yishen, as the only male singer, must participate in the second round of chorus, so the first round will definitely be one of Ye Xin and Zhao Xuan.
It is Ye Xin who is appearing now, it must be because her timbre is too special and easier to be remembered, as for whether she can win, in fact, everyone does not have much hope, in such a competition, explosive songs are easier to get high votes, obviously Ye Xin is not very good at this style.
The first to appear was a Korean player, and her appearance made the Korean audience and international students extremely excited.
What is surprising is that when the female singer came on stage, a staff member actually gave her a guitar, but she was wearing a mask, basically seeing the guitar, which means that she was going to play the guitar accompaniment blindly?
The Korean audience couldn't help but sweat for her when they saw it, of course, in the eyes of insiders, this is nothing at all, after all, when you actually play the guitar, no one will look at it with your eyes, and you rely on your hands to sense the strings.
The first note was plucked by her slender fingers, Li Mu nodded secretly, it was not a fake play, and the level of playing was also hard work, but gradually Li Mu found that something was wrong, and the prelude of this piece was too familiar to him.
Not only Li Mu, but Huang Zilan in the contestant's seat gently dragged Shen Meng: "Hey, Sister Mengmeng, isn't this your song?"
The Korean female singer on the stage held the guitar and played the last end note of the prelude, and the accompaniment was seamless at the right time, and she sang in the exclamation of the Korean audience.
"When I was still an ignorant girl..........."
The Chinese audience was stunned, did not expect that in this kind of competition, they could actually hear Korean players sing such a Chinese song, although the sound is not very pure, but foreigners, this tolerance is still there, after all, the difficulty of Chinese is the highest in the world.
The Korean audience is really confused, what the hell is this? Why can't they understand the songs sung by their own singers, and what does this group of Chinese audiences mean when they are moved?
On the stage, Huang Zilan was stunned and whispered to Shen Meng: "This, they are too scheming, right?"
Li Mu couldn't help but praise the ingenious calculation of the Korean side, first of all, they are the host, and Korean students will definitely favor their own people in voting, and they chose a Chinese song, clearly wanting to get the neutral votes of some Chinese students.
I have to say that these people are really good at using their brains.
The Japanese contestants also guessed the intentions of the Korean team, but there was nothing they could do, and it was reasonable that the "girl with wings" Korean players completed quite well, especially the treble processing of the English part of the chorus, which was higher than the other, and the scene was very infectious.
Sure enough, at the end of the song, not only the Korean audience, but even the Chinese audience were applauding desperately.
The three-minute voting time passed quickly, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little solemn for a while, and everyone's eyes were on the international student judges on the spot.
"OK, the voting time is closed, and the Japanese players are invited to appear. ”
The strength of the Japanese players is there, but with the Korean players in front, the effect is not as good as imagined, and the audience's response is not enthusiastic, only the Japanese audience is more enthusiastic.
During the same three-minute voting time, many international student judges did not even move the voting machine next to their seats.
Liu Zaishi looked at the timer in his hand and pressed it heavily: "Okay, it's time, the last player in our first round of team competition will be on the stage, how will she perform?" ”
Ye Xin came to the stage and glanced at the bottom of the stage, Li Ruilan's little girl was leaning on Li Mu's arms to cheer her on, Ye Xin smiled and nodded at her, and her mood relaxed a lot.
The piano of the prelude sounded, and it was still that faint sad feeling, which made the audience sit up straight unconsciously.
"My love, good night
Don't be embarrassed
Don't worry I'll get hurt
I'm used to being considerate
What else?"
Li Mu secretly sighed perfectly, just the first sentence at the beginning, and that kind of faint and hoarse voice made people can't help but be intoxicated.
In fact, whether it is "Yezi" or this "Injured" is not Ahsan's most popular song, such as "It's Been Quiet" and "Lonely Singing" are more popular than these two songs, the reason why Li Mu chose these two songs for Ye Xin to participate in the competition is actually selfish.
In Li Mu's view, these two songs are the works that really establish Ahsan's music style, especially this "Hurt a Little" was once rated as one of the ten songs that can't be listened to when you fall out of love.
Zhao Xuan looked at Ye Xin's back and was envious for a while, her voice is too recognizable, for a singer, a voice that can make people remember as soon as she opens her mouth is too precious, but unfortunately she doesn't, her style is cultivated by a little hard work the day after tomorrow, this is the gap between talents, even if she is now more famous than Ye Xin, but it does not prevent her from envying Ye Xin's voice.
Shen Meng is also very envious, Huang Zilan's bass in the team is special, and Liu Qinmei's dolphin voice is very distinctive, only she has been acting as a alto, playing the role of a lubricant, and now another Ye Xin has popped up, which is really shocking.
The audience was silent throughout the whole process, and even their breathing became very low, as if they were afraid that breathing too hard would affect Ye Xin's performance, and she sang until the last lyrics.
"Don't say you're guilty of me
Don't say you'll miss me forever
I know how to go down the lonely road
Please don't comfort me
My love, good night don't take it personally
I was only slightly injured
Just a little bit hurt."
The last end ended with a hint of trill, Ye Xin's eyes under the mask were already moist, the bad thing about this song is that there are no ups and downs, if you want to sing the taste, you must use your feelings to drive the singing, but Ye Xin is only in her twenties, and she doesn't have such a rich emotional experience, so she has been watching some classic love tragedy movies these days, trying to substitute herself into the artistic conception of this song, and finally the effort pays off.
Especially the outbreak after the last chorus, she has tried many times before, or the emotions are too much, destroying the overall artistic conception of the song, this song "a little hurt" shows that girls are actually in a state of self-protection when they are in love, close themselves up, and say to the outside world: I'm fine, I'm just a little injured, I need to be quiet for a while.
At the end of the song, the scene was a little cold, until Liu Zaishi took the stage to remind the international student judges to vote, and the audience burst into applause.
"OK, it's three minutes, the voting is closed, then, please ask the staff to count the votes and send the results to me." Yoo Jae-seok waited another minute or so, and the staff handed him an envelope.
The scene was suddenly silent, and everyone stared at the white envelope held up by Liu Jae-shi, as if in this way they could have the superpower of perspective and see through the contents inside.
So under the watchful eye, Yoo Jae-seok opened the envelope, and then showed a very surprised expression, followed by a minute-long silence.
"This guy must have done it on purpose!"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to throw my stinky socks at him. ”
The Korean audience is impatient at first, they know Yoo Jae-seok too well, and this product likes to play tricks like this, fishing for the audience's appetite.
Liu Zaishi saw that he was angry, and he didn't dare to make any more noise, so he took the envelope and read it.
"The first thing to announce is that the Japanese team received - 368 votes!"
The Japanese contestants sighed, this number of votes is basically no play, and the Japanese female singer who has just appeared on the stage also consciously took a step out of the Japanese contestants' seat, obviously ready to be eliminated.
Liu Zaishi looked at the Chinese player Xi Nian and said: "The number of votes received by the Chinese team is - 496 votes. ”
This number of votes is very delicate, Li Mu frowned slightly, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, in the Chinese player's seat, Zhao Xuan gently held Ye Xin's hand, and Ye Xin's hand was already sweating.
Huang Zilan's three daughters also stepped forward and patted Ye Xin's shoulder, signaling that she was okay and would definitely win.
"Then, the Korean team's votes are 502 votes, congratulations to the Korean team for successfully winning a place in the finals with a narrow margin of six votes!" Liu Jae-seok forced the excitement in his heart, but the smile on his face had already betrayed him.
Ye Xin looked at the audience in disappointment, but found that Li Mu had already stood up and gave her a thumbs up, and Ye Xin also walked out of the contestant seat amid Zhao Xuan's comforting voice.
"So, the Sino-Japanese team, have you already identified the eliminated personnel?" asked Yoo Jae-seok.
Ye Xin and the Japanese female singer appeared in the center of the stage together, the two held hands and bowed slightly like the audience, but just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Liu Zaishi.
"There are also some fine-tuning of the rules of this issue, that is, the players who have passed the qualifying round are eligible to uncover their faces on the stage, may I ask, do you want to exercise the right to unmask?"
The audience couldn't wait to shout "uncovered~~~" in three languages.
But what is surprising is that the Japanese female singer refused to uncover her face on the spot, and it seems that she is not willing to show her face as a loser to the public.
Liu Zaishi expressed his respect for her opinion with some regret, and then turned to Ye Xin and said, "So, may I ask, do you want to exercise the right to uncover your face?"
Ye Xin was a little hesitant, but Zhao Xuan behind her had already shouted, "Unmask, it's okay, you are the best." ”
The audience also reacted and began to encourage her: "Uncover your face, you are the best!"
Ye Xin was still a little undecided in the sound of unmasking, so she looked at Li Mu and found that the other party didn't say anything, just gave her a thumbs up, and Li Ruilan was kissing her.
Gritting her teeth, Ye Xin turned her back and unmasked with the help of Liu Zaishi, and at the moment she turned around, all the Chinese audience at the scene began to cheer loudly: "Ye Xin~~~"
Ye Xin picked up the microphone and put it to her mouth, but she choked up for a while, some of her fans at the scene were already in tears, they watched Ye Xin get through step by step all the way, it was not easy.
"Thank you. Ye Xin finally spoke up, but she choked with tears as soon as she said these two words.
"Come on, you're the best!" Some viewers at the scene also said that they turned fans and began to cheer for her.
"Thank you for your support to me, and thank you to the fans who came to the scene to cheer for me, and all the fans who liked me along the way, without you, I would not be able to stand on such a high-level stage today.........." Ye Xin said this, tears began to pour out again, she could only hold her head high and look at the ceiling, trying to hold back her tears.
The applause began to spread, and gradually not only the Chinese audience applauded her, but also the Japanese and Korean audiences were cheering for her performance, and at the same time, it was a pity for her, it was only five votes, in fact, many people thought in their hearts that Ye Xin was qualified to advance to the finals, but she was just stolen by Korean players.
Ye Xin calmed down again, and then bowed to Li Mu's position and said: "At the same time, thank you, my boss and musician, thank you for everything he has done for me behind the scenes, I'm sorry, I failed this good song." ”
Li Mu sighed secretly, Ye Xin's mind is too heavy, she takes others too seriously and herself too lightly, such a character is actually not suitable for mixing in the entertainment industry.
"Hey, take care of her more in the future. ”
The Japanese and Korean audience understood through the translation in the headset that the man holding the child was actually Ye Xin's behind-the-scenes boss, and the song just now was written by him, and he immediately became interested in him.
The director in the control room shouted: "Live director, cut the picture to me, you pig's head, do you want to do it? Which bastard handed me a microphone to him, you stupid people!"
In this way, Li Mu was stuffed with a microphone in his hand, and before he could speak, the little girl had already shouted into the microphone in a milky voice: "Sister Ye Xin, you are the best." ”
The audience was amused by this cute little girl, Li Mu tried to organize words and said to Ye Xin: "There will be a champion of the King of Singers every season, but there is only one Ye Xin, you are unique, come on!"
In the cheers of the audience, Ye Xin bowed to the end, and when she got up again, although there were tears in the corners of her eyes, the corners of her mouth were filled with a faint smile.
