Chapter 340: The Mentor Sings

Lyrics, composition and arrangement by Zhao Zhenghao, and personally produced, An Shuyi's original song "My Dearest" can be called a model of love songs in the history of Dragon Music!

It is not only An Shuyi's most classic masterpiece after the first day of the Dragon Kingdom, but also An Shuyi's highest-selling single, after being covered by the other two three queens in the Dragon Country song scene, Peng Jieshan and Min Lan, it also set another record - the highest-selling female love song in the Dragon Kingdom!

If the sales of Zhao Zhenghao's cover version are also counted, then this "My Dearest" can be called "the best-selling love song in Dragon Country"!

Wang Zhou's cover of "My Dearest" was adapted by Yan Yu himself, and the arrangement was more suitable for Wang Zhou's voice conditions, giving full play to her singing skills.

Before this, An Shuyi also gave her special counseling, so that she could understand the meaning of the song more deeply.

This is what makes Wang Zhou's performance achieve the effect of astonishing the four seats.

In the voting session after Wang Zhou's performance, a total of 75,291 votes were received from the audience, and 92 mass media judges were affirmed, with a total score of 84,491 points.

Li He is also a powerful singer, but in the face of Wang Zhou, who is strong, there is almost no resistance, and there is no suspense about defeat.

The next fourth group of duels can be said to be the most watched duel in the first round of the finals of the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", because this duel is the only one in the same room in the first round of the game, and both sides are all members of Zhao Zhenghao's team.

Zhang Yueli is a female singer with a lot of personality and the only jazz singer among the top ten contestants.

Jazz is a very important music category in the international music scene, but this genre is relatively niche in the Dragon Country, and it can be said to be the exclusive domain of petty bourgeois literary and artistic youth.

Among the popular singers in the Dragon Country music circle, there are currently no dedicated jazz singers, which shows the weak position of this genre in the Dragon Country.

However, in Europe and the United States, especially in the United States, jazz has a very strong audience base and is an important music category.

Zhang Yueli's future development focus, in Zhao Zhenghao's planning, also focuses on overseas, her debut EP, only one of the three songs is in Long Chinese, the other two are English songs, including the title song.

Zhang Yueli herself also knows that the music style she chooses is not very pleasing in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is difficult to stand out in this finals, but she simply chose to sing the title song in her unofficially released first EP directly in the first round of the showdown, even if she can't go further, she can be regarded as taking the opportunity to promote her new song, there is always a win.

Zhang Yueli's singing skills have no problems, and Zhao Zhenghao's tailor-made title song for her has nothing to say about the quality, the two match each other perfectly.

It's just that, as she predicted in advance, among the ordinary audience who are used to listening to pop, rock, and folk songs, there are not many people who like jazz, and her performance, in the audience, only got more than 30,000 votes, a large part of which was voted for her rather outstanding appearance, and there are really not many people who really like her performance.

Her opponent Li Longyue, the music style is actually relatively niche, it is a folk song.

The historical origin of folk songs is very long, but the real acceptance by the mainstream music circle began in the nineties of the last century, when the Dragon Country music circle once blew a burst of "campus folk songs", which was quite powerful and could compete with pop love songs.

After entering the new century, the group of people who sang on campus at the beginning gradually entered the society, and the songs they created had more independent thinking, more profound thinking, and a very high self-esteem, and refused to bow their heads to the mainstream music circle.

Despite its niche, the best works are constantly emerging, vibrant, and have a fairly loyal audience.

In addition, the catchy melodies of folk songs and the lyrics that hit people's hearts can easily become popular songs as long as they have publicity channels.

Every year, there is no shortage of folk masterpieces in the annual top 100 singles list of the Golden Melody Chart.

Folk and rock are at two extremes in terms of specific expressions, with folk singers generally holding an acoustic guitar and singing quietly, while rock singers generally carry an electric guitar and jump up and down and roar.

In terms of live appeal, of course, rock and roll takes the lead, but the folk song is interpreted to the extreme, and it also has the magic to touch the soul.

The song sung by Li Longyue is also from Zhao Zhenghao's third solo album, and the song title is "White Birch Forest".

This emotional masterpiece is an alternative among all Zhao Zhenghao's songs, and when it was first released, it did not attract too much attention, and among the songs included in Zhao Zhenghao's third solo album, the sales were at the bottom.

However, with the precipitation of time, the excellence of this song has been discovered by more and more people, and the follow-up sales have performed strongly, and after several years of fermentation, the current sales have quietly climbed to the forefront of the songs included in the same album.

The version of Li Longyue's cover was personally handled by Zhao Zhenghao, and it was rearranged according to his voice conditions, and the performance effect was very good.

Although such a narrative song was not too appropriate in the finals with a warm atmosphere, Li Longyue's performance was still affirmed by the audience, and he defeated Zhang Yueli with a relatively obvious advantage and became the only player in Zhao Zhenghao's team to advance to the next round.

In the last matchup of the first round, the players were Luo Dixin from the An Shuyi team and Wang Lichao from the Ju Qinghao team.

This matchup is also full of highlights.

Another top 10 player of Ju Qinghao's team has been defeated in the previous duel and missed the next round, if Wang Lichao can't win in this duel, then all the members of Ju Qinghao's team will miss the next round.

Fortunately, Wang Lichao was more competitive, and despite the great pressure, he still defeated his opponent by a slight advantage in the competition, and saved face for Ju Qinghao's team.

The first round of the competition was all over, and the five players who successfully advanced were Wang Zhou and Liang Jianfeng from the Anshuyi team, Pi Yunlong from the Li Runze team, Wang Lichao from the Ju Qinghao team, and Li Longyue from the Zhao Zhenghao team.

The Anshuyi team performed eye-catching in the first round, with two players in the top five, Li Runze, Ju Qinghao and Zhao Zhenghao, and their respective teams were left with only one seedling left in the second round.

This situation can be regarded as a happy situation, after all, there is no situation where all team members are eliminated in the first round.

The finals of the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" have entered the second round, and the competition system has changed.

The promotion method of this round is that the five contestants sing in turn, and then according to the voting situation of the audience and the mass media judges, the top two votes will advance to the next round and get the chance to compete for the annual championship.

In order to make this round of the competition more interesting, the competition system allows the contestants' respective mentors to help the contestants in their own way.

Although on the surface, this rule gives the mentor and the player full choice, but in reality, the choice of the mentor is extremely limited, and the final choice is all the same - go into battle in person and sing for his teammates.

The order of appearance in the second round of the competition is based on the scores of the promoted players in the first round, from low to high, and they will take the stage in turn.

In the first round of the duel, the highest score was Wang Zhou of the An Shuyi team, and the second was Pi Yunlong of Li Runze's team.

The remaining three players have relatively close scores, among which Wang Lichao, who ranks third, and Li Longyue, who ranks fourth, have a score gap of less than 100 points.

Liang Jianfeng, who had the lowest comprehensive score in the first round of the duel, was only more than 200 points less than Li Longyue.

Liang Jianfeng was the first to appear, he and An Shuyi, who sang as a helper, sang a classic duet love song, which was An Shuyi's early work, and the response was good, the audience scored more than 70,000, plus the mass media review score, the comprehensive score was 78,306 points, nearly 10,000 points higher than the first round score.

The second to play was Li Longyue, the conscientious Zhao Zhenghao, not only personally went into battle to help him sing, but also bought one and got one free, and recruited other members of the "Heroic" band to set up a formation on the stage to help him.

The song that Li Longyue chose to sing in this round is also from Zhao Zhenghao, which is the first title song "Once You" in the first album released after he crossed over.

The song "Once You" is classified as rock in terms of genre, but it is just light rock, there is no dry component, and there are some similarities with the style of folk songs, and people who don't know much about music styles can easily confuse its music type.

Although Li Longyue's style is more inclined to folk songs, there is no discomfort or difficulty in singing such a light rock song.

Zhao Zhenghao did not officially contribute his voice in this performance, but in the chorus part, he helped Li Longyue to sing backing up, and put more experience on the performance of the lead guitar.

Zhao Zhenghao's guitar playing skills have now become among the world's top ranks, and many guitar solo tracks have been cited as classics by guitar lovers and are competing to imitate them.

Zhao Zhenghao's guitar solo in his solo concert has become a reserved program for his concert, and some fans even called for him to hold a special guitar recital!

Zhao Zhenghao has played the guitar in person very few times in public, and fans can count only a few times on the stage of the American Music Awards, Grammy Awards, and Golden Melody Awards.

Performing in conjunction with the "Heroic" band goes back a few years.

Although Zhao Zhenghao did not officially contribute to this song, he was able to see his performances, and the audience, as well as the audience in front of the TV and mobile phone, were already pleasantly surprised and addicted.

With the help of Zhao Zhenghao, Li Longyue's performance was a great success, and in the subsequent voting session, the voter turnout rate of the audience was as high as 95%, and only three of the 99 mass media judges did not show his cards.

Li Longyue's comprehensive score in this round is as high as 88,194 points, which is 10,000 points higher than Liang Jianfeng, who appeared first, and nearly 20,000 points higher than his first round score!

Li Longyue also broke the scoring record set by Wang Zhou in the previous round.

Zhao Zhenghao's shot is naturally extraordinary!

Wang Lichao, who appeared in the third place, and his mentor Ju Qinghao, sang a classic love song of Ju Qinghao together.

Wang Lichao's voice conditions and singing style are quite similar to Ju Qinghao, and during the hit broadcast of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", he also won the nickname of "Little Ju Qinghao", and now he sings a song with Ju Qinghao, which is perfectly matched and perfect.

The timbre of the two of them is quite similar, if the audience listens to their singing with their eyes closed, unless they have outstanding ears, it is difficult to tell that this song is actually a chorus of two people.

With his help, Wang Lichao's performance has also been recognized by the audience and the mass media, and the comprehensive score has also increased to 80,000 points, although it is not as good as Li Longyue, but it surpasses Liang Jianfeng.

Ju Qinghao and Wang Lichao are quite satisfied with this result.

They also know that they really have no advantage in just competing for hard power, and the goal set before the game is to be able to not be at the bottom in the second round, even if it is successful.

Pi Yunlong, who was the fourth on the stage, and Li Runze, sang a classic masterpiece of Li Runze together.

Li Runze is the earliest famous among the existing kings in the Dragon Kingdom music circle, and has been on the throne of the Heavenly King for more than 20 years, and still maintains the release speed of one album in three years, and the release of each album is a grand event in the Dragon Kingdom music circle.

Although the sword is not old, Li Runze is not without shortcomings - his music style has never changed since his debut, and he has been mixing in the popular field, although he has also tried other music genres, but he has only tasted it.

Li Runze's singing skills have nothing to say, and his voice conditions are also top-notch, but in terms of cooperation with Pi Yunlong, he is the worst one among the five groups of performances in the second round.

In the first round of the matchup, the key to Pi Yunlong's victory with a high score was his trademark high note.

But Li Runze has never been a singer known for his high notes, and in the second round of the competition, in order to accommodate him, Pi Yunlong could not give full play to his characteristics, which made the performance discounted.

If it is Zhao Zhenghao, who is also excellent in soprano, will present a completely different effect with Pi Yunlong, and will dedicate an audio-visual feast to the audience.

The total score is only 84216 points, although it is slightly higher than the score of the first round, and it also surpasses Liang Jianfeng and Wang Lichao, temporarily ranking second in the second round, but whether you can win in this round, advance to the next round, get the opportunity to compete for the peak duel and compete for the annual championship, the initiative is no longer in your hands.
