Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Final Battle
At Zhou Miao's home, he and Hu San were sitting on the sofa watching the fourth round of "Finale", the duel between Huang Chengxi and An Qi.
It's just that Hu San has been swiping his mobile phone, his mind is not on the TV at all, and he looks preoccupied.
Zhou Miao noticed her abnormality and asked, "What's wrong, I always feel that something is wrong with you lately." β
Hu San was a little speechless, and finally sighed and said: "Recently, I've been having nightmares, dreaming that you were injured by fans of other celebrities, and there were many, many people, blocking the whole street." β
Zhou Miao smiled when she heard this: "Am I so hated in your eyes?" β
Hu San's expression was very serious: "I mean seriously, fans like Hui Yuan and Lin Zekai must hate you to death, I'm really afraid that some irrational fans will do something to hurt you." β
Hu San's words are not alarmist, most of the fans are not rational, and they can do anything when their brains are hot, and there have been many incidents in the history of the entertainment industry where fans have attacked artists.
However, Zhou Miao has always been very careful when she goes out, she is followed by two big men all the year round, and she never eats the water and food handed over by fans, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one knows whether it is a person or a ghost standing in front of her.
Zhou Miao understood her worries, hugged her and comforted, "Don't worry, I'll be very careful." β
Hu San sighed, not knowing if he was comforting himself or if he would really be careful.
"Are you ready for next week's final?" Hu San asked.
"It's almost, there's enough time, I'll polish it well."
Huang Chengxi is a standard academic singer, bel canto learned in college, God also appreciates food, his voice is very unique, and the treble is a must, and he has the reputation of the Yellow Siren in the circle.
However, Zhou Miao still found a problem after listening to all his songs, he likes to show off his singing skills and timbre too much, and the songs he chooses match his voice, rather than him taking the initiative to fit the songs, which causes his songs to sound the same.
And because he pays too much attention to skill, there is a problem with the injection of feelings.
Especially the love songs he sings, which are good, but not touching and emotionless, this is Huang Chengxi's biggest weakness.
Playing to his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, Zhou Miao can't go head-to-head with him to soar the high notes, but wants to use a sincere love song to hit his weakness!
Zhou Miao searched in his mind for several days, and finally remembered a song that was sincere, resonant, suitable for live performance, and in line with his current age.
A week later, Zhou Miao came to the recording site of the show and took a photo with Huang Chengxi in the corridor, both of them smiled confidently and staggered by.
Zhou Miao is studying Huang Chengxi, why is Huang Chengxi not studying Zhou Miao, he is very aware of his own advantages, good singing skills, strong treble, and music variety shows like singers like him.
And most of the audience is not a professional, just listen to the song, whoever has the higher treble thinks who is powerful, his advantage is too great, and he doesn't know how to lose.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the final of "Battle for the Top of the Forbidden City" officially started, and countless viewers poured into the live broadcast room to watch the final imperial city PK, and the person who won this game will become the undeniable new generation of singers.
On the list of power support between the two sides, Zhou Miao is slightly ahead, but not much, and it looks like June Fourth.
The two tossed coins to decide the order of play, and finally Huang Chengxi took the stage first.
What he wants to sing today is the most difficult song in the history of the Chinese music scene, "Late Night".
The high-pitched part of this song is a lot of singers who don't rap, they are stunned when they listen to it, it's too high and too difficult!
And as soon as Huang Chengxi opened his mouth, it lifted people's spirits, and the tone was even higher than the original!
"Late Night" is a story about a person walking alone at night, scaring himself, and screaming all the way, which is both terrifying and a little funny.
Under Huang Chengxi's interpretation, this song once again glows with a different charm after more than 20 years, his high note is more clear and bright than the original, and it seems that there is no limit to the roof.
Even Zhou Miao had to say: "Amazing!" β
Wave after wave of high notes made the audience feel like they were on the top of the wave, and the mood could not be calmed for a long time, until Huang Chengxi took a long breath after singing a song, which was really shocking!
And Huang Chengxi's whole back was soaked after singing this song, he kept wheezing, and his head was a little dizzy, he had already taken out twelve points of strength, if he was allowed to sing it again, he wouldn't be able to sing as well as just now.
Next, it was Zhou Miao's turn to play, and a black grand piano was moved to the center of the stage, which made the audience can't help but look forward to it, is this going to play and sing at the same time?
Zhou Miao sat in front of the piano with a straight figure, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes silently.
This state lasted for several seconds, and just when the audience was curious about what he was going to do, Zhou Miao opened his eyes, and the sound of the piano sounded.
The prelude to the pure piano solo is concise but not simple, and the atmospheric and smooth melody has a hint of sadness, which instantly calms the audience's thoughts that have just been bombarded by high notes.
Zhou Miao was completely immersed in the artistic conception of the song and sang softly:
"Once unexpectedly he and her fell in love
In times where there will be no hesitation
Thought it understood
So love heartily
I can't let go of my hands tightly
Persistence and the future in my heart
Can't forget your love
But the ending is hard to change
I couldn't keep you
Not even like he can give you one
Looking forward to the future
NaΓ―ve boys
wu~wu~wu~β
There are no flowery rhetoric, and there are no gorgeous high notes, Zhou Miao is like a storyteller, telling everything eloquently.
The emotional expression of this song is very restrained, and the heart-rending pain is lightly narrated, which is a little distressing.
There are thousands of words in the heart, but the mouth is open but speechless, this emotion called regret tightly grasps the hearts of the audience, and it is such a simple word, but it causes a mountain of thoughts.
"I want you right now
Miss you whenever I wander again
All regrets are not the future
All love is inevitable in the end
Can't escape the damage
You don't have to do it all over again
Now I just want the pain to come more painfully
You can't do it all over again
wu~wu~wu~β
This is a song that costs smoke, after listening to it, I only feel that my heart is blocked, and I want to listen to it again and again, everyone who has regrets can find their own shadow from this song.
The long piano solo at the end of the song injects soul into the song, and all the words that dare not be said turn into musical notes and fly, and every trace of suppressed emotions is released at this moment, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
When the last note fell, the scene did not applaud like Huang Chengxi before, but fell into a short silence, and many people's eyes were red.
I don't know who was the first to react, sporadic applause rang out, and then more and more applause, louder and louder, enduring!
This applause brought Zhou Miao, who was immersed in the artistic conception of the song, back to reality, and he got up and bowed slightly to the audience.
Huang Chengxi also returned to the stage, and now what is to be announced is the scores of both sides in the final final of "The Battle of the Top of the Forbidden City", and the new generation of singers is about to be crowned!
