Chapter 228, a song allures the city
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and on Sunday, August 31, the day of the finals of "Asian Idol" has arrived, and the audience who have been chasing for three months has finally waited for the championship to be announced.
Like "Miss Asia", the finals of "Asian Idol" were also held in the Red Hall, and the audience seats in the Linshide Stadium were too limited to meet the requirements of the number of spectators in the finals.
Everyone in the program group, including Mo Fei, who has witnessed history, underestimated the impact that this new talent show can bring. Since the day the finals time was announced, countless citizens have called ATV or Phoenix Culture for consultation, hoping to watch the finals of "Asian Idol" live.
Before, it was just to make the scene look better and more convenient for the live broadcast of the show, so I chose to change the location of the finals to the Red Hall. The current situation fully proves the correctness of this decision, and the 5,000 tickets that have been printed are sold out in two days.
But even this still could not meet the needs of the market, and the program team had to make some temporary changes to the finals scene, squeezing out 2,000 audience seats again to meet the needs of the audience.
The live broadcast time of the finals was set at eight o'clock in the evening, and before seven o'clock, the outside of the Red Hall was already bustling with audiences with and without tickets, and the scalper tickets had been fried from a price of 100 yuan to nearly 200 yuan, and there was still a situation where demand exceeded supply.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 9,000 spectators outside the Red Pavilion, and there are still spectators who are constantly rushing over, if they continue. It is likely to cause riots and even vicious incidents.
The program team had to insert a consolation notice in the program being broadcast by ATV, advising the audience not to crowd all to the scene, and they would not be able to enter the scene without a ticket. In fact, it's the same when you watch it on TV.
But who would believe that, everyone is a person who has watched the concert, who doesn't know that the effect of the scene is completely different from the effect on TV, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope to get tickets, no one will be easily persuaded to go home and watch TV.
As the chief planner and director of the show, Mo Fei has already entered the Red Pavilion and got the news that nearly 10,000 fans have gathered outside. It's not just such a crazy situation, and the little snack was shocked.
But that's all there is to it, seven thousand tickets is already a limit, and it is absolutely impossible to add another one. Because of the arrangement of the stage and the judges' seats, etc. There are only so many seats in the Red Pavilion that you can only use them, and you can't see anything from other angles, and you can barely see the performance of the contestants on stage, so you might as well go home and watch TV.
Eventually, there was a little commotion. Fortunately, it was under the control of the police personnel and security guards on duty at the scene. It soon subsided. is also the police inspector who is very powerful, and the sentence "I can't even see the TV when I stop here", he said that half of the fans who didn't have tickets were gone, and those who stayed behind couldn't make any trouble.
On the stage of the finals of "Asian Idol", Chen Baixiang appeared again, which couldn't help but make many viewers think of his gags and funny in the finals of "Miss Asia".
The host Hu Feng then came out and spoke to Chen Baixiang as soon as he took the stage: "Ah Lak, why did you appear at the finals of "Asian Idol" again today. Do you know ......?"
"Eh, Uncle Feng, don't say anything. I understand. Chen Baixiang stopped Hu Feng's words and said: "Today is not like last time, I came here after full preparation, the last time I went to "Miss Asia", I almost lost two months' salary, how can I be careless this time, I have already inquired about the rules here." β
"That's not what I'm going to tell you, I'm trying to ask ......"
Before Hu Feng finished speaking, he was stopped by Chen Baixiang again and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Feng, I really know." After the finals of "Asian Idol", all three contestants can get contracts from Famous Craftsman Music, but the prize for the champion will be more, and the most important thing is that Mr. Mo will personally create an album for the champion, and Mr. Mo will complete it from songwriting to production, I think this should be the most important prize for a person who is interested in becoming an excellent singer. Of course, we would also like to thank Cheung Kong for its strong support for this program, and the champion can get an advertising agency contract signed by Mr. Li himself, which is worth more than 200,000 yuan, which is not a small amount of money......
"Okay, okay, what I'm going to tell you has nothing to do with this, this will be said after the opening." Hu Feng finally couldn't stand his broken mouth, stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture in front of Chen Baixiang, and said, "I just want to ask you, you always appear in other people's shows like this, is it to rob us of our jobs?" β
Chen Baixiang suddenly looked like an eggplant that had been drained, wilted and stood there, the performance was really in place, pondered his next lines, and said: "Actually, Uncle Feng, you don't know, I've been ...... recently."
The two of them were still warming up on stage, but Huang Zhan in the background pestered Mo Fei before the stage: "It's been so long, can you tell me the other one, you also know that your question is difficult, I have found all the drinks, and it has nothing to do with Snow White undressing." Today is the finals, you have worked so hard for so long, now is the most critical time, if you don't talk about it, believe it or not, I will turn around and leave immediately, and let you go again. β
Mo Fei didn't care at all, and said: "Ah, Uncle Zhan, are you threatening me, then you can go, it's a big deal that I will personally come to the stage as a judge, but you will receive my lawyer's letter." β
"Stop, stop, count you awesome, okay?" Huang Zhan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Just when I beg you if you're okay, I can't think of an answer, and I can't hear another story, I can't sleep well every day, you can say it with kindness." β
Of course, the two were joking, Huang Zhan would definitely not leave, and Mo Fei would definitely not have a lawsuit with him, after joking enough, he said: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but you can only choose the same, depending on whether you want to know the answer to the riddle or the content of the story?" β
Huang Zhan stretched out two fingers. said: "Both are good or not, you also know how hard I have worked during this time, so it should be better to give me a prize." β
I really don't understand this salty wet guy. Nothing else, except for the salty jokes and stories that made him bend his waist, shrug his shoulders helplessly, and say, "Okay, I'll tell you everything." This riddle is actually very simple, have you ever drunk PepsiCo's Seven-up? β
βSeven-upοΌ What does this have to do with riddles......", Huang Zhan is a very high-level salty and wet old monster. After just being puzzled for a while, he immediately understood, pointed at Mo Fei and smiled: "Ah." You're amazing, you're really powerful, Snow White is with seven dwarfs, haha....... I really laughed at it. β
Mo Fei really wants to tell the people around him now that he doesn't know this salty wet guy. It's just that there are basically people from the company and people from the Red Pavilion, and almost everyone in Hong Kong knows that he has a good relationship with Huang Zhan, and now he can only lose face with this salty wet guy.
As for that little story, he definitely won't tell it to Huang Zhan again, so he called a staff member to bring a pen and paper, wrote down the story on it, handed it to Huang Zhan for him to see, and then walked to the exit of the stage and waited for the stage.
Huang Zhan opened the piece of paper that Mo Fei handed him. It's only three short lines, but it's a lot more words than the last one. The taste is also much heavier.
Japanese-Korean mixed-race family
Brother, you're so much better than Dad!
Well, that's what Mom said too!
After reading it, Huang Zhan felt a little sweaty, this story is too powerful and too perverted. But why are there Koreans, the Japanese are inherently perverted, and there is a feud with the Chinese, and why are the Koreans made up here?
Time didn't allow Huang Zhan to think too much, Hu Feng and Chen Baixiang, who were hosted at the front desk, soon began to invite the judges to appear, Huang Zhan had to fold the paper and put it in his pocket for the time being, and then think about it after the show.
Because "Asian Idol" does not set up guest judges, the guests who appear after the judges are the guests of the finals, that is, the representatives of the sponsors, and after the final results come out, these are also responsible for awarding awards to the top three contestants.
Entering the finals, there will no longer be so many links that make the contestants' hearts beat faster and the pressure surges, but they will have to rely entirely on their own singing to impress the judges. Each of the three contestants sings five performance tracks, allowing for mistakes and corrections, and the judges score each according to the performance of the five songs, and after getting an average score, combined with the impression score and performance score given by the media judges, the score of the seat in the round, and the final total score is used to select the champion.
After the three drew lots, Du Dewei drew the first lot, Zhou Huimin was in the second place, and Li Keqin got the No. 3 lot. The draw represents the element of luck, the first contestant to perform is the least stressed, and the last one is the opposite; But this luck has to be artificially arranged, Du Dewei is the weakest of the three, and placing it in front can relieve his tension a little; Li Keqin is the most stable, and it will not affect him too much in the end; And Zhou Huimin came in second place, which can not only avoid the suggestion that she is too lucky, but also form a transition between the two male players.
Du Dewei appeared first to sing, and the first song he chose was Zhang Guorong's "The Minister Under the Skirt", and the style was also more suitable. When it came to the finals, the contestants also began to be tempted, this song is from the hand of Mo Fei, as a singer who will definitely sign a contract with Famous Craftsman Music in the future, it is easy to get extra points for singing songs written by the boss himself in the finals.
You must know that the four judges on the opposite side are all holding famous music appearance fees, among which Huang Zhan and Mo Fei have a great relationship, Tan Yonglin is one of Mo Fei's first singers to write songs, Li Zi, the new star of Phoenix Culture, seems to have been recommended to Mo Fei by Xu Guanjie, and Ye Qianwen is one of Mo Fei's rumored girlfriends.
How did poor Du Dewei know that he was the life of a runner-up, although he was optimistic about him, Zhou Huimin's potential was undoubtedly the greatest, and he could bring greater benefits to the company.
Even if Zhou Huimin, who was wrongly packaged in his previous life, still has a considerable ability to absorb gold after the age of forty; On the other hand, Du Dewei and Li Keqin, one is not so stamina, and the other is that the process of becoming popular is too slow, excluding the factor that beauties are more popular, and the two are also slightly inferior in other aspects.
Du Dewei sang a song "The Minister Under the Skirt", played quite well and won applause from the audience. It seems that Tan Yonglin has helped him practice a lot in the past two days, and this song was also chosen by Tan Yonglin for him. All four judges gave more than 90 points, and 25 media judges also cast 13 votes in favor. The combined score reached 121 points.
The championship is already in Zhou Huimin's bag, and the four mentor judges are very clear. Before entering the finals, the four of them fought for the other two spots in the top three for their disciples, and after entering the finals, the goal was changed to the runner-up, who doesn't want the players they coach to perform better.
Zhou Huimin's first song is the theme song "She" of Phoenix Culture's new summer film "Taiping Mountain", which is a slightly modified jazz-style English song. It was chosen for Zhou Huimin, which not only meets Zhou Huimin's voice conditions, but also is very suitable for a song to open her voice.
It started when I just entered the main competition. Zhou Huimin was at the request of Mo Fei, and every time she sang, some small problems would be exposed, and then the judges pointed them out, and there were other small problems after the next correction. just stumbled all the way to the final top ten.
But after entering the top 10. But he began to exert force suddenly, as if all the small problems had been found out and corrected before, and he was the first to pass the level and advance. All the judges praised her, and the media also called her the most improved and fastest contestant in "Asian Idol", and the most powerful contender for the title.
As Zhou Huimin's performance got better and better, even the four tutors found that this girl was really good at singing, and it was completely worth the money to cultivate. After the champion of "Asian Idol" is in his hands, he is likely to become the next Ye Qianwen.
It was meant to be as high as possible. Zhou Huimin also used her performance to give the mentors a sufficient reason to score highly, the average score of the four tutors was 98 points, plus the support of 21 votes from the media judges, Zhou Huimin's final score on the first song was as high as 140 points, 19 points more than Du Dewei.
In Du Dewei's nervousness, Li Keqin also appeared with apprehension, and the first song chosen for him by his mentor Ye Qianwen was from Tan Yonglin, also written and composed by Mo Fei "Infatuated as a Doll".
Li Keqin's voice conditions are better than Du Dewei's, especially his treble part, high-pitched and broad, and full of explosiveness, the first song won the tutor's average score of 96.5, and the media judges' 15 votes of support, and the final score is 126.5.
After the first round of the competition, Zhou Huimin took the lead with a score of 13.5 points ahead of the second place Li Keqin, and Du Dewei was 5.5 points behind Li Keqin, temporarily ranking third, and the distance between them was not very large.
In the second round, Du Dewei and Li Keqin both chose English songs, Du Dewei chose Elvis's champion song "Shes-Not-You", and Li Keqin chose Queen's "We-Are-The-Champions", both of which are more bonus songs. In order not to widen the gap too much, he specially selected a young girl-style Cantonese song included in the "Girl Magazine" album for Zhou Huimin, "Let Me Be Happy" sung by Chen Huixian.
Sure enough, after the end of the second round, Zhou Huimin scored 128 points, Du Dewei scored 135 points, and Li Keqin's score was 134 points. The gap between the three narrowed slightly, Zhou Huimin's score ahead of second place Li Keqin narrowed to within 10 points, and the score gap with Du Dewei was also reduced to 12 points.
The third round is a required song, the difficulty is about the same, and the three contestants also work together. Du Dewei scored 136, Zhou Huimin's score was 139, and Li Keqin scored 136, the gap did not open too much, and it was basically still in the range of catching up.
But from the fourth song, the gap is more obvious, Zhou Huimin with a perfect performance of Ye Qianwen's "Lover Confidant", won more than 140 points, has 135 points Li Keqin and 136 points of Du Dewei far away.
After Zhou Huimin finished singing, when the judges commented on her, even Ye Qianwen, the original singer of "Lover's Confidant", praised her for singing well, completely forgetting that her disciple Li Keqin also needed to canvass for votes. The other three judges are the same, and they all gave quite high evaluations, which is also one of the means to guide the media judges to give high scores.
In the last round, anyone can guess the repertoire that Zhou Huimin wants to sing, there is no doubt that it is the song "Lonely Like the Wind" that Huang Zhan gave her at the beginning, Huang Zhan has been active in the Hong Kong music scene for so many years, relying on absolute strength, he said that if it is suitable for Zhou Huimin to sing, it must be very suitable.
As long as Zhou Huimin does not make serious mistakes in this round, the champion will definitely not be able to run; If there are no mistakes, it is very likely to get a score that far exceeds the previous four songs.
Under the premise that only Zhou Huimin can win the championship if he makes a serious mistake, Du Dewei and Li Keqin have basically given up the competition for the championship, and both of them have set their sights on the runner-up position, and it is imperative to compare each other.
Lonely and quiet like the wind, silently creeping into my dreams;
I look forward to you coming every night, pretending to meet again in a dream;
But you are like a merciless north wind, blowing the enthusiasm in your heart and freezing it early.
Words take away my youth, laughter, innocence, and coquettishness, and no longer with laughter......
No matter how similar it was before, when the lyrics came out of Zhou Huimin's mouth, the judges found out how suitable this song was for Zhou Huimin. One by one, they opened their mouths wide as if they couldn't believe it, looking at Zhou Huimin who was singing on stage, now there are so many singers who have released records in Hong Kong, and there are so many people who are called singers, but there are definitely very few people who can really be compared with Zhou Huimin at this moment.
All the high, mid, and low tones of the whole song, and Zhou Huimin's voice conditions are perfectly matched, it is simply tailor-made, and there is such a song, which is enough to sweep all singing competitions.
This song also reminded the judges of the gold medal music producer Mo Fei, who sat in the guest seat and successfully created Ye Qianwen and Zhang Xueyou, how did he choose to choose such a song that completely fits Zhou Huimin's voice, which is a little more difficult than writing a good song.
There is no suspense in the final score, and the four mentor judges all gave full scores, which has nothing to do with the singer at all, but from the bottom of my heart, I think this song should get a full score.
The same is true for the media judges, all 25 judges voted in favor, and if anyone did not vote, they will be rumored to be "people who don't understand music" the next day.
Li Keqin is completely relieved this time, even if he gets a full score, the championship will not be his own, he only blames himself for competing on the same stage with a demonic opponent, and this opponent also has a very unparticular mentor. Now the goal is completely clear, that is, Du Dewei, who has just scored 139 points in the fifth song, as long as he can get 136 points, he can surpass Du Dewei, who has 667 points, and win the runner-up in the finals.
Li Keqin, who was out of the way, still broke out, and a song of Tan Yonglin's "Goddess of the Storm" scored 141 points, defeating Du Dewei by 5.5 points higher.
The final result of the finals, that is, Zhou Huimin won the championship of the first "Asian Idol" with a total score of 697 points, and Li Keqin and Du Dewei won the second and third places respectively.
Later, according to the statistical ratings data, the highest ratings of the finals of "Asian Idol" once broke through from more than 70% to more than 90%, and the ratings of this miraculous few minutes were when Zhou Huimin sang "Lonely as the Wind".
On the second day, many newspapers reported on the just-concluded "Asian Idol", and the three major newspapers, "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily" and "Wen Wei Po", reported the scene of the finals at considerable length.
Interestingly, the titles of the three newspapers reporting on the finals of "Asian Idol" are all exactly the same - a song that is alluring. (To be continued......)
