Chapter 104: Intra-Team Qualifiers
All the members of Jay Cou's team bowed and thanked him.
Then, Jay Zou stepped forward and sat back in his mentor's seat. This time, no one looked at him with questioning eyes, and all that was thrown at him was eager, envious glances.
"Teacher Zou, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Geng Chengqing half-jokingly said with a hippie smile.
"No, no, it's still Mr. Haring." Jay Zou replied with a smile.
"Jay, what's the name of that song you just had? I get goosebumps when I hear it! Wang Feng eagerly poked his head over and asked Jay Zou softly.
"The name of the song is "A Thousand Mountains and Thousands of Waters."
"A Thousand Mountains and Rivers? I don't think I've heard of this song, you wrote it newly? The other two teachers answered, and Sakura couldn't help but join in the fun.
"Ha, well, this is a new song, but I didn't write it." Jay Zou spoke truthfully.
"You didn't write it?" The other three gurus, you look at me, I look at you, and the eyes of the three of them are full of disbelief.
Didn't Jay Zou write it? So why does it feel like the song fits Jay Chow's voice so well?
"Don't guess, I've recruited you. One of my team members wrote it, and he said that he wrote it for me, so he gave it to me. Jay Zou jokingly raised his hands above his head in a "surrender" gesture.
"Members? What do you mean...... Participants? Geng Chengqing's eyes were almost shining, as if he had found some otherworldly treasure.
"Yes, it's the Yu Xian who 'held a solo concert' during the audition."
"Him?!" The three mentors never expected that this Yu Xian would be a musical genius!
No, it's not just Yu Xian.
The song "A Thousand Mountains and Thousands of Rivers" shows Jay Chow's excellent grasp and control of music melodies and beats. Yu Xian, on the other hand, has bold and terrifying musical creativity, a composer who can integrate ancient style, rock, and Beijing accent, and is also a singer, what a terrifying existence!
A hidden mentor and a dazzling new star with unlimited creativity. Geng Chengqing, Na Ying, and Wang Feng never expected that their biggest enemy would be the most inconspicuous and controversial Zou Jielun.
The contestants got off the stage, and the host took the opportunity to walk on the stage.
"Good afternoon, all the guests, the participants, the instructors and the audience in front of the TV!"
"Papa-" As soon as the host finished speaking, a formal applause followed.
"Before the start of the tournament, please allow me to give you a brief overview of the rules of this season's intra-team qualifiers."
The host paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "There are twelve members in each mentor's team, and the twelve team members match the opponent by computer drawing. There is no restriction on the repertoire selected by the participants, and the two of them each sing a complete song, after which the song is voted by four mentors, and each mentor must and can only vote for one of the contestants. One vote for each of the mentors outside the team, and two votes for the team's lead mentor. The one with the highest vote wins and is promoted, and the one with the lowest vote leaves the stage of "The Voice of China". ”
"Good! Now, let's scroll the big screen! As soon as the host's voice fell, the center of the big screen behind him quickly switched to the headshots of the twelve students belonging to Jay Cou's team, that is, the twelve participants who will stand on the competition field today.
"Stop!"
A photo appeared on the screen, and the name above the photo was marked: Liu Zerong.
"Again—stop!"
This time, the name displayed on the screen was: Lin Fei.
"Okay, the first round is: Liu Zerong vs. Liu Fei. First of all, let us applaud Liu Zerong to play! ”
Liu Zerong took the microphone and walked to the center of the stage with obviously nervous steps, and the next moment, the big screen behind him suddenly lit up.
It was a VCR that Liu Zerong had recorded in advance.
"I was born with mild polio, and when I was four years old, my father was hunted down because he was gambling and owed a huge loan shark outside. However, he ran away, and he ran alone, leaving only me and my mother ......."
Three minutes later, Liu Zerong's VCR finished playing.
A moment later, a mournful prelude sounded. Liu Zerong brought the microphone to his mouth with trembling hands, and slowly spoke: "The winter night is so cold that it hurts to the cold heart, but I don't see the big hands that were once warm......"
The song that Liu Zerong chose to sing was "Lonely as Me", which perfectly matched the sentimental background described in the VCR.
After a song, it is followed by either moving or appreciative applause.
The next one to play was Lin Fei.
is the same as Liu Zerong, to be precise, according to the routine process of the promotion competition, before she sings, a VCR is also played.
"Three years ago, I was a top student in a key high school in M City, and I met my ex-boyfriend in that spring season. Half a month later, we fell in love. Classrooms, corridors, groves, playgrounds, we are everywhere, enjoying a happy and sweet time every day. However, the good times did not last long, and after half a year, I found out that I was pregnant, and he said that he would be responsible for me, but not now, and after that, I followed his advice and killed the child. A year later, I got pregnant again, but this time, he was gone, and he disappeared without leaving a word......"
The VCR on the big screen faded away, and a piece of cold and lonely music followed:
"It really hurts, I love you so much...... Lin Fei was full of emotion, and he even brought out a trace of crying when he sang to the **.
Compared with Liu Zerong, Lin Feixuan's song "From Dead Heart to Dead Heart" is more appropriate to the story described in the VCR, and it can win the recognition and moving of the audience and mentors.
After Lin Fei finished singing, Liu Zerong walked onto the stage.
The four tutors first talked for a while for the effect of the show, and then commented on them in turn. After the evaluation, the four mentors voted for their favorite or admired contestants.
In the end, Lin Fei got four votes and was promoted, while Liu Zerong got a pitiful vote and could only leave the arena gloomily.
The first round of PK ended, and the host walked to the center of the stage again.
"Okay, then let's start the lottery for the second round of students. The big screen – get started! ”
More than ten seconds later, the host shouted: "Stop! ”
The big screen stopped changing in response, and a bland photo prominently said the owner of this photo: Xu Wendi.
"Again—stop!"
This time, the name displayed on the big screen was: Yu Xian.
"Okay, the second round is: Xu Wendi vs. Yu Xian. First of all, let's applaud Wendi Xu! ”
