Chapter 7: Stubbornness
Of course, Yang Yu didn't know about these comments on the Internet, because the brutal two-by-two PK was about to begin.
In order to attract the attention of young people, distinguish it from other TV talent shows, and better interact with the audience, Yanjing Satellite TV has added a lot of network elements to "The Strongest Voice in China".
The candidates for the PK will be arranged according to the ranking of the online popularity vote, from the first place in popularity to the last place, the second place in popularity to the penultimate place, and so on.
In this way, the program team can also give those players who are stronger and more popular have a greater chance to enter the next round, so that the ratings can continue.
At this time, Yang Yu found out from the big screen that his popularity ranking on the Internet had reached thirty-one, and I remember that when he watched it the day before yesterday, he was still in the thirty-fourth place.
In the past two days, because he was busy, he didn't pay special attention to the ranking, but he didn't expect his ranking to improve unconsciously.
Now that he's in the top half, he's going to be in 34th place.
According to the display on the big screen, the thirty-fourth most popular player is No. 17 Wen Yueting, standing not far from him.
He looked over there and found that this Wen Yueting was a beautiful woman in her twenties with good looks.
Compared to the men's clothing, the women's blue skirts look much better.
At this time, Wen Yueting also looked at him, and the eyes of the two inadvertently met.
Facing the other party's gaze, Yang Yu nodded lightly, and did not make any provocative moves, because he understood that on this stage, strength is everything.
After announcing the rules, the host Sun Rui announced that the first national breakout competition officially began.
It will be played by No. 46 against No. 21, and the two of them are ranked 32nd and 33rd in popularity online, and the difference in strength is not too big.
Hearing this arrangement, Yang Yu's expression froze, it seems that the program team wants to put the competition of the popular players behind.
There is nothing wrong with this, after all, in order to maintain high ratings, the program team needs a popular contestant finale.
However, for him, who is ranked 31st on the popularity list, he will appear as the second group in the first phase of the breakout match.
Compared with Yang Yu's somewhat solemn expression, Wen Yueting on the other side looked even more nervous.
After all, in order to create some tense atmosphere, some of the program teams will not be notified in advance, and the program team did not tell her that she will appear as the second group.
And now, Yang Yu was nervously waiting for the performance of the first group of contestants.
In this mood, the duel between the two contestants in the first group ended, and the judges began to comment.
Among the three judges of the national competition, one is Li Jiansong, the judge of Yang Yu's primary selection, and he is mainly responsible for the professional part of the review.
Among the remaining two judges, the first is the domestic actress Zhang Xiaoqi, who is mainly responsible for attracting popularity, and is completely a beautiful vase, so there is no need to count on it professionally.
The last one is a middle-aged man with a serious face, named Sun Yong, a leading figure in early rock music in China, who speaks directly and makes spicy comments.
The three judges faced the nervous two people on the stage, and all chose the No. 21 contestant to win, which also made the No. 21 contestant the first to sit in the exclusive winner's seat, and at the moment, he was the only one there.
However, the defeated No. 46 player is not without a chance, and the loser in the breakout match will not be eliminated immediately, and will enter the lower bracket to wait for the repechage.
After all the top 32 have been selected, the 32 players in the lower bracket will compete in a brutal repechage match to compete for the repechage qualification with only two spots left.
At the beginning of the breakout match, the unpopular player defeated the popular player, but this is actually normal in the early stage of the competition.
Not to mention that the votes of the two players are not much different, even if you compare the first place on the popularity list, the strength is not necessarily much stronger than them.
In the live broadcast game, any unexpected situation will happen, and if you want to win in the early stage of the draft, you will fight for strength, and your popularity will be floating clouds.
Only when the competition enters the national voting stage, then popularity will really play a decisive role, after all, not all audiences are willing to vote for a dollar.
After the first set of matchups, the second set of matchups is about to begin.
As a player in the upper half of the popularity list, Yang Yu has the advantage of playing later, but if he wants to play the game, he mainly depends on his own strength.
As soon as Wen Yueting came on the stage on the 17th, she chose a song called "Distant Hometown", which is the famous song of the famous domestic national singer Mingma Zhuoma.
Mingma Zhuoma has always been famous for its high vocal range, and this Mingma Zhuoma's famous song is the most direct proof that the high vocal range and large span are not something that ordinary people can control.
Wen Yueting chose this song, obviously because she is very confident in her own high notes, and she can fully demonstrate her vocal strength when she soars high notes in the competition.
As soon as Wen Yueting opened her mouth, she left to show her strong strength, the high note that made ordinary people desperate, she sang it easily without lowering the key.
Even in the highest note part of the chorus, Wen Yueting did a very good job, Yang Yu stood in the standby area, looking at the approving looks of several judges, and felt that his breakthrough competition this time would be very troublesome.
But just when Yang Yugang felt a little bad, Wen Yueting suddenly made a mistake, perhaps because she was too nervous, Wen Yueting accidentally didn't handle her breathing when she sang the last chorus, resulting in a broken tone directly at the highest note.
Although it was only for a moment, it was very obvious to the judges.
After discovering Wen Yueting's mistake, Yang Yu suddenly felt a lot less pressure, and if there was no major problem with his singing in the future, there should be no problem in winning.
Seeing Wen Yueting's expression fade to the side, Yang Yu walked to the center of the stage, what he didn't know was that when he walked on the stage, in the courtyard rented by Lin Sen, Xue Ming, Zhang Meng and Hou Donglai were carrying beer and shouting.
Far away at home in Chang'an City, Liu Xiuli ignored her husband's dissatisfied expression, turned on the TV, and watched the TV expectantly with her daughter Yang Rong.
All over the country, all the spectators who watched the game quietly looked at Yang Yu, waiting for him to sing.
"Hello judge, I'm Yang Yu, and what I'm going to sing next is an original song, called Stubborn. ”
Standing in the middle of the stage, looking at so many audiences in the audience, Yang Yu's hand holding the microphone sweated nervously.
"Yang Yu, we meet again, it's time for the national breakout competition, and you still have to use originality, you are so confident in your songs?"
Li Jiansong was very impressed by Yang Yu, after all, the song "Sea and Sky" was really good.
"To be honest, competing on the same stage with so many excellent singers, I don't dare to say anything confident, I just feel that when I come to this most watched stage, instead of being nervous, it is better to sing my own works to everyone, and I will not come once. ”
Yang Yu's shrewd answer not only made Li Jiansong happy, but also made the other three judges feel that Yang Yu performed well.
Everyone thinks that he is not only quick to respond, but also very modest, and he patted the sycophants of the program team without a trace between his words.
However, he didn't know that at this time, in the control room of the studio hall, Zhang Junrong, the director of Yanjing TV, was inspecting on the spot.
After he heard Yang Yu's words, he said to Cui Jianguo, who was accompanying him: "Old Cui, this young man is good. ”
Cui Jianguo said with a smile: "It's really good, this kid was introduced by my lover to participate in the competition, and he is very talented in creation." ”
After listening to this, Zhang Junrong nodded and said: "The person introduced by Professor Lin will definitely not be too bad, isn't our station going to make a new Taiwan song, you let this kid try it, if it can be done, just use this show to promote it." ”
While the two leaders were talking, Yang Yu on the stage had already begun to perform.
He nodded to the nearby accompaniment area, signaling that the accompaniment could begin.
When the accompaniment sounded, the lights shone on, and four male harmonies standing behind the microphone appeared in the accompaniment area.
Accompanied by the sound of music, the four male harmonies hummed refreshingly, snapped their fingers, and began the prelude to the song.
For this song obtained from the dream, Yang Yu did not choose the arrangement originally sung in the dream, but chose a cover version.
This version comes from a variety show in the dream world, a male singer named Deng Lun, compared with the original song, the cover version is fresher and more suitable for him to sing.
As Yang Yu's clear and powerful voice sounded, his singing officially began:
When I'm different from the world, then make me different
Persistence for me is to overcome rigidity
If I compromise with myself, if I lie to myself
Even if someone forgives me, I can't forgive
The most beautiful wish must be the craziest
I am my own God in the place where I live
I clenched my hands with my last stubbornness
The next stop is not paradise, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair
I and my proud stubbornness, I sang loudly in the wind
This time I'm crazy about myself, just this time me and my stubbornness
Don't be nervous about the people who love me, my stubbornness is kind
The dirtier my hands were, the more my eyes glowed
You don't care about my past, you see my wings
You said that it was burned by fire before a phoenix appeared
The direction of the headwind is more suitable for flying
I'm not afraid of thousands of people blocking me, I'm afraid of surrendering myself
I clenched my hands with my last stubbornness
The next stop is not paradise, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair
I and my proud stubbornness, I sang loudly in the wind
This time I'm crazy about myself, just this time me and my stubbornness
I clenched my hands with my last stubbornness
The next stop is not paradise, even if you are disappointed, you can't despair
I and my proud stubbornness, I sang loudly in the wind
This time I'm crazy about myself, just this time me and my stubbornness
After the song, Yang Yu put down the microphone, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause, which is enough to prove the excellence of this song.
On the stage, Wen Yueting walked next to Yang Yu and waited for the comments and choices of the four judges.
In fact, after listening to Yang Yu's song, she knew that her hope of victory was not great, even if there was no mistake just now, it would be even more difficult to defeat Yang Yu's excellent work.
In the standby area, many players who aspire to be the champion have looked sideways, and since this song, Yang Yu has become an important opponent in the minds of all players.
And where the Blue Fire Band stood, Lin Xiyan looked at Yang Yu with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth.
At the beginning, he knew that Yang Yu's creative ability was good, otherwise he would not have used tricks to deceive Yang Yu into writing a few songs, but who would have thought that after Yang Yu was kicked out of the band by him, his creative ability would go further.
Originally, the songs written by Yang Yu were enough to make him jealous, but compared with "Sea and Sky" and "Stubborn", it is not a level at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiyan couldn't help but think crookedly again, and went back to ask Li Xue to flip through Yang Yu's previous manuscript paper again, if he could find one or two similar lyrics, he would have a way to snatch the two new songs sung by Yang Yu.
He didn't believe it, Yang Yu, a poor boy, could have the money to fight a copyright lawsuit with him, and at that time, he could still make Yang Yu's reputation stink by the way.
