Chapter 188: The Singing Contest Finals
On November 1, after three months, the auditions, preliminaries, and semi-finals of the "First Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest" have ended, and the finals have also reached the finals of the final showdown.
Backstage of the game, Wu Ming looked at a pair of men and women with a smile on his face, and asked happily: "Dayou, Amei, how is it?" The game is about to start, you are all adjusted, are you ready?"
This pair of men and women are the two players who stood out from the 300,000 contestants and entered the finals. Among them, the young man is Luo Dayou, the future godfather of Wanwan music, whom Wu Ming has been paying attention to since the auditions.
The young girl is the future of Xiangjiang's ever-changing diva Mei Yanfang, in the original time and space, next year she will win the first Hong Kong Rookie Singing Contest with a song "The Season of the Wind", signed a contract with Huaxing Records, launched the first album "Heart Debt", and officially stepped into the music scene.
Mei Yanfang's father died young, and her mother supported her four children alone, and the family only relied on her mother to run the dilapidated "Jinxia" song and dance troupe to make a living, and the family was very poor. Since the age of four and a half, Mei Yanfang and her sister have performed on stage at the Xiangjiang Liyuan Playground and have developed a good singing voice.
Seeing that there are so many bonuses in the singing contest, Mei Yanfang, who is from a poor family, will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. Not only Mei Yanfang, but her sister Mei Aifang also participated in this competition. It's just that although Mei Aifang entered the finals, her strength was still a little lacking, and she was brushed down in the second round.
As for Li Zongsheng, another godfather of Wanwan music who is favored by Wu Ming, although his personal strength is very strong, it is a pity that he was dragged down by the rest of the "Acoustic Guitar" choir and could only stop at third place. Otherwise, it is estimated that this finals should be a competition between Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou, the godfathers of Wanwan music.
In the past few days, Wu Ming has been in frequent contact with the two of them in the name of the organizer of the singing contest, and both parties are already familiar with each other.
Luo Dayou nodded and said with a smile: "Ready!"
Mei Yanfang also nodded and smiled: "It's been ready for a long time!"
Both of them have been preparing for more than two hours and have adjusted to their best.
Wu Ming looked at the two of them with interest, smiled and asked, "How sure are you each of you?"
Luo Dayou smiled lightly: "This is accurate, do your best!"
said so, but looking at Luo Dayou's appearance, it shows that he is still very sure of winning the championship of the singing contest.
In fact, Luo Dayou is 27 years old after all, has rich experience, and is also a singer-songwriter, with some pluses. Even if Mei Yanfang has been on stage since she was a child, there is still a gap in strength compared with Luo Dayou.
Mei Yanfang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Luo is too modest, you are so strong, you should be very confident." ”
Then, Mei Yanfang's expression became serious, and she said firmly: "But I will also go all out, the outcome is still unknown!"
Mei Yanfang is very aware of the difference in strength between her and Luo Dayou, but she has finally come to this point, how could she give up easily.
Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Let's go together! Show your best state so that the audience can see a perfect game." ”
……
The finals are divided into two rounds, the first round of which is for each of the two to choose a song to sing solo.
The first to appear was Mei Yanfang, who saw her standing on the stage, holding a microphone, and singing a song of Xu Xiaofeng's "Season of the Wind" emotionally.
"The cool breeze blew gently into the hem of my clothes
I can't hear it in the summer
The days have passed in a hurry, which makes me feel a lot of feelings
Remember that scene colorful
Gently blowing with the wind until you step into my heart
……”
Then Luo Dayou came on the stage, and he sang "Childhood", a song he wrote for his current girlfriend Zhang Aijia when he was studying at Medical University.
"On the banyan tree by the pond
I know that I am screaming about summer
On a swing by the playground
Only butterflies stop on it
Teacher's chalk on the chalkboard
Still desperately chattering and writing
Waiting for the end of class, waiting for the end of school
Waiting for the game of childhood
……”
Then while the judges scored, the eliminated singers and singer guests under Starlight Records were also invited to the stage to sing their respective songs. Both to promote them and to increase the time of the show. After all, it is impossible for a two-person competition to support a two-hour show.
The first to take the stage was the "Acoustic Guitar" choir, which was eliminated in the "3-in-2" session, and at this time their band had signed a contract with Starlight Records. Of course, Li Zongsheng was singled out from the band alone. After all, Li Zongsheng's stay in the band can only bury his talent, and flying solo can show his amazing talent to the fullest. They sang a song "Sunshine of Life".
……
In the second round, the two contestants and big-name stars sang two songs together.
This time, Luo Dayou was the first to play, and he and the well-known Wanwan singer Liu Wenzheng sang Luo Dayou's "Love Song 1980" together.
Liu Wen is now the first idol singer in the Wanwan pop music scene, and after his debut in 1975, he has been out of control and has always been one of the most popular singers in Wanwan. Moreover, Liu Wenzheng and Teresa Teng's singing voices have become iconic singing methods imitated by mainland male and female singers in the following decades.
It also cost a lot of money to invite this big singer over this time.
After the song "Love Song 1980", the two sang Liu Wenzheng's "Little Rain Hit Me" again.
Although it is a Chinese song, the beauty of music knows no language, and the audience at the scene listened to it one by one.
Then Mei Yanfang took the stage again, and she cooperated with Xu Xiaofeng, a well-known singer who recently joined Starlight Records. The two sang Xu Xiaofeng's "Farewell My Love" and "Wind and Rain on the Same Road" together.
The tacit cooperation between the two made the audience scream with excitement. After all, most of the audience at the scene were locals from Xiangjiang, and only a very small number of them were Wanwan people who came to watch it. Cantonese songs are naturally a little more popular.
……
Then some guests took the stage to perform, and the results of the competition finally came out.
Huang Zhan, who is the host and judge, walked on the stage.
"I guess everyone is already impatient to wait!" Huang Zhan said with a smile on his face, "Then I will announce the results of the first Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest now, and the third place winner is the acoustic guitar band." ”
This result has long been known to everyone, so the response is not very big.
"The runner-up winner ~ is ~ Mei Yanfang, everyone congratulates her!"
Although Mei Yanfang had already guessed the result, she still lowered her head in frustration. But it didn't take long for her to raise her head and laugh again, encouraged by countless applause.
"I don't need to say it next, you also know, the champion is Luo Dayou! Congratulations!"
The audience burst into applause and cheers.
