Chapter 166: A Fraction of a Difference (I)
Chen Yichen, dressed in black, held the microphone high, and stood on the lifting stage with his head held high amid the tsunami-like applause, whistles, shouts, screams, and cheers of the audience, ending tonight's singing.
From the audience's live reaction, you can see how successful his singing was tonight. Even the contestants in the lounge and the ten judges on the judges' bench were all applauding and cheering for his singing.
The audience in the studio, starting with Liu Qi, the No. 5 contestant just now, enjoyed the performances of the two contestants in a row for a full twenty minutes. The wonderful performance of these four consecutive songs made everyone feel like they were in the concert scene.
Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the applause will not stop for a while.
According to Liu Qi, Ye Zi is the "fateful enemy" of his Liu Qi's life, and he must defeat Ye Zi in this finals to gain the upper hand. But in Ye Zi's view, Chen Yichen, who is "closely connected" with Liu Qi in the semifinals and finals, is Liu Qi's real "fateful enemy" in this competition.
Chen Yichen's singing has been completed, and his scores will be announced soon. Liu Qi still stood there applauding Chen Yichen's singing, but the corners of his eyes twitched twice unnoticed.
Liu Qi's heart is not bottom at all, just like Ye Zi's understanding, Liu Qi also thinks that Chen Yichen is his biggest opponent tonight.
As for Ye Zi?
Liu Qi sneered a few times in his heart.
Ye Zi also stood with the contestants and applauded, and the pressure in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. He didn't expect that under the pressure of Liu Qi's wonderful singing, Chen Yichen's performance tonight would be so good.
This is another player who plays at a super level on the spot.
This finals has been carried out so far, first the outstanding performance of Zeng Chun and Liu Feifei, and then the continuous super-level performance of Liu Qi and Chen Yichen, it seems that whether it is Wu Lili or herself, the difficulty of competing for the championship has become greater.
However, this is the kind of honor that is worth fighting for with all your might!
In Ye Zi's heart, the fighting spirit is like fire!
In the noise of the audience. Sister Ah once again walked on the stage. Raising the microphone, she smiled before she spoke.
"Wow, Ethan's singing just now was so wonderful! I listened intently backstage, and it was Ming Tsai who reminded me to remember to go on stage. ”
"Thank you Sister for your encouragement. Thank you so much! Chen Yichen on the stage hurriedly thanked him.
Sister A smiled slightly: "Okay, I won't say anything superfluous, and I will ask the ten judges to announce their scores." ”
The light shone on the judges' bench, and the audience immediately fell silent.
Bang, bang, bang??????
Chen Yichen and Liu Qi's heartbeats accelerated at the same time.
There is a saying about dressing, called "If you want to be pretty, you have a soap". Chen Yichen's stylist is well aware of it.
Tonight's Chen Yichen, with black clothes, black pants and black shoes, plus curly and fluffy black hair and two black and shiny black eyes, profoundly interpreted this proverb.
Chen Yichen's dress tonight was very simple.
The upper body is a simple pure black shirt, and the buttons and cufflinks of the shirt are also black underneath, which is integrated with the color of the shirt. But the outer edges of the buttons and cufflinks were wrapped in a dark silver metal border, and each button shimmered with a dark metallic glow in the light. The buttons are tightly buttoned one by one, which seems to be a bit dull, but in fact it gives people the feeling of a rigorous bearing.
The black trousers were ironed with a pen, and the hems of the trousers fell loosely on the surface of the black shoes.
Of course, the leather shoes are also polished.
The only accessory that goes with the clothes. It is a slender sterling silver necklace hanging from the mouth of a shirt, and a delicate black and gold cross hangs from the bottom of the necklace.
Chen Yichen's hairstyle chose the kind that is naturally fluffy and slightly curly. The hairstylist sprays a little styling water to keep the hairstyle in place a little without affecting the natural hairstyle.
Chen Yichen is not a handsome man like Liu Qi, he gives people the impression of being sincere and honest, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly thick lips, a little baby fat on his face, and the contour is not particularly clear.
The makeup artist focused on two places, the eyebrows and the cheeks. The style of simplicity is still followed.
With neatly trimmed eyebrows, the makeup artist uses a dark eyebrow pencil to outline the full contours of the eyebrows, making the eyes below the eyebrows appear extra deep and bright.
On the cheeks, the makeup artist transitions with a dark foundation and a light foundation. A hard curve is drawn along the cheeks, allowing Chen Yichen's facial contours to be revealed.
At first glance, this whole look is nothing special, but when you feel it closely, it is extremely attractive.
Liu Qi, who sang earlier, was dressed in white, which highlighted his handsome and extraordinary appearance. And Chen Yichen, who is now on stage, is dressed in pure black, which also reflects the deep and generous boy's character.
These two men even have black and white clothes. Who would believe that the two of them are not rivals?
On the stage, the voice of Sister A's score came at intervals.
"Chen Junjia judge: 9.85 points."
"Xu Jianqiang judge: 9.75 points."
"Thunder Quake: 9.80 points."
"Ou Dingyu judge~~~10 points!"
Sister Ah suddenly raised her voice, and the second perfect score in this game appeared.
The studio was immediately immersed in a cacophony of noise.
In the orchestra pit, two acoustic guitars are played at the same time. A chasing light illuminates the two guitarists seated together.
To the left is the second guitarist, who holds a guitar pick and plays the broken chords in a steady rhythm.
Under the chasing light, the lead guitarist Andy closed his eyes.
His left hand slid up and down on the fretboard, and the pick in his right hand was like an eye, plucking up and down among the six strings, and a prelude melody with blues and blues characteristics played melodiously between his hands.
In the eighth measure, Andy's right hand plucked the pick slightly, and the middle finger of his left hand quickly slid up and down, and then stopped in the middle of the string, and the middle finger gently kneaded on the string.
The finger rubbing technique brings out a trembling tail note, indicating that the prelude to the song has come to an end.
On the first beat of measure 9, Andy stopped playing. Chen Yichen raised the microphone and began to sing to the accompaniment of the broken chords that the second guitarist continued to play.
The table was dismissed
The guests were in a hurry to drink the wine
Leave before the dance music is finished
It's my night, isn't it?
The last minute arrived
Wait for the enthusiasm to be over
Fang saw the bright lights in the venue
??????
What Chen Yichen is singing is his only single "Song of the Times". Speaking of this song, Ye Zi was very impressed by it. (PS: "Song of the Times" should have appeared in 1996, and the plot needs to be a few years in advance.) )
This work, composed by Jiang Gangsheng and lyrics by Xiangjiang lyricist Huang Weiwen, was criticized by Xiangjiang fans as "ignorant of what to do" when it was first released, but Chen Yichen's excellent performance was still well received by fans.
At that time, in the Xiangjiang music scene, the four kings were as popular as the sun, and the secondary singers were also as solid as a rock, and the prosperity of the music world was like a prosperous era. In such a context of the times, Huang Weiwen's lyrics were written as soon as they came up, "The banquet was over, the guests hurriedly drank the wine, and left before the dance music was finished" and the sentence "There is not much time left" at the back of the song, and the fans were of course very dissatisfied.
But only ten years have passed, and the Xiangjiang music scene is already a yellow flower, and there is no longer a prosperous beauty. And what supports the hope of the entire Xiangjiang music scene is the generation of justar Chen Yichen who Huang Weiwen specially wrote such a masterpiece for him.
Looking back at the "Song of the Times" written by Huang Weiwen for Chen Yichen when he first debuted, fans began to feel that Huang Weiwen's prediction was accurate, and he really lived up to the title of "ghost talent". Of course, this song has naturally become one of Chen Yichen's masterpieces.
But to be honest, although Ye Zi likes this work very much, he still has a lot of complaints about Chen Yichen's original interpretation. Compared with the later performances at the concert, Chen Yichen's original song treatment was a little impetuous, he did not fully grasp the connotation of the lyrics, and the pitch was also slightly deviated.
But in any case, these are acceptable small flaws, which do not affect Ye Zi's liking for this song, nor do they affect his opinion of Chen Yichen, the singer.
When they first debuted, how many singers were able to perform a profound song well and perfectly at the age of about 20?
It's not surprising that Chen Yichen didn't do it.
But tonight was different.
Chen Yichen's performance tonight is excellent and perfect in Ye Zi's opinion. (To be continued.) )
