Chapter 346: The Beginning of the Heart
After a short time, all ten guests appeared on the stage and took their seats, the music in the venue was quiet, and Hong Kong host Lin Jiawan took the stage to talk about the rules of the competition system.
Lin Jiawan glanced at the hand card, and then took off the script and said: "This year's "Domination of Cantonese" has a total of seven rounds of competition, each round of competition has a limited theme, and the song language is limited to Cantonese.
In addition, all participants are not allowed to sing their own songs, sing new songs or adapt songs from other singers!
There is a heartbeat button on the seat of each audience, and pressing the heartbeat button after the singer's performance is a vote, with a total of 1,000 spectators on the scene, and each ticket is 0.1 points!
After three rounds of competition, the bottom three contestants in the total points ranking are eliminated! After the sixth round, the three guests with the bottom three total points will be eliminated, and the remaining four guests will compete for the final championship! ”
Zhou Miao and others already knew in advance that the host's introduction was mainly for the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.
The guests are not allowed to sing their own songs, mainly because the audience is tired of listening to them sing their own songs, and such an important stage always has to come up with something new.
In general, this knockout system is still very cruel for them to be kings and queens, everyone is a level of singers, no matter who is eliminated in advance, their faces are not good-looking, so they are all riveted and dare not take it lightly.
After Lin Jiawan's introduction, Qian Jin took a step forward.
"Love is the eternal theme of human artistic creation, and the theme of the seven rounds of this year's "Domination of Cantonese Altar" is related to love, and the theme of each round symbolizes a certain stage of human love.
The theme of the first round of singing that we are about to play today is the purest and most beautiful period of love - the beginning of the heart! ”
At the same time, on the big screen behind Qian Jin, a pink heart was constantly jumping.
The beautiful host of Hong Kong and Taiwan, Erin, came to the guest seat with a lottery box, and each person took a colored ball, and the numbers on it determined the order of the first round of singing.
Zhou Miao blew in the palm of her hand, reached in and stirred, and took out a colored ball.
Number 3.
The position is high, not good and not bad.
Ding Jiahao, who was sitting next to him, didn't look at the ball when he caught it, rubbed his thumb on the colored ball, and his movements looked like an old gambler.
"Number 5, hehe, it's okay."
Gu Yuming stood up helplessly holding the No. 1 color ball, "Alas, the most energetic first to play, my luck is a little weak today." ”
Lin Jiawan saw the results and said loudly: "Okay, first of all, let's applaud, please applaud, Asian Dance King, Gu Yuming!" ”
Gu Yuming took the stage, and Zhou Miao applauded, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
In recent years, Gu Yuming's title of Asian Dance King has been more and more questioned, and many people feel that his dancing skills are too backward, that is, he became popular early, and now the dance level of any trainee is stronger than him.
Zhou Miao has heard a lot of this kind of argument, but he doesn't know much about Gu Yuming, and today is just the opportunity to see the style of the dancing king and see if he is really as netizens said.
The theme of the first round of "The Beginning of the Heart" is actually very unfriendly to all Hong Kong singers, and a senior in the music industry once commented on Cantonese songs, ten Cantonese songs, eight sad love songs, and the remaining two songs are pretending to be happy.
Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it also basically summarizes the creative trend of Cantonese songs, sad love songs are the main stream, and there are really not many Cantonese songs that meet the theme of the first round of original heart, and are suitable for singing on stage.
Gu Yuming searched for two days in a row, and finally found a few songs to report, but was told that he had been selected by other singers, so he had no choice but to contact the producer to tailor a new song for him.
During the preparation stage, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed.
didn't make the audience wait long, with a brisk snap of fingers, Gu Yuming walked out of the darkness while snapping his fingers.
Dressed in a handsome black suit, shiny leather shoes, and meticulous big back, Gu Yuming personally demonstrated what a middle-aged handsome uncle and a handsome yuppie are!
Gu Yuming knew that at his current age, forcibly pretending to be tender and acting out the budding of his original intention would only make people feel greasy, so he asked the lyricist to set the scene as a middle-aged man who was hurt by love and moved again after many years.
The title of the song appears on the big screen.
"Second Beat"
When he came to the microphone stand, Gu Yuming held the microphone stand as if he was hugging the waist of his dance partner, and sang affectionately:
"I saw you smiling on the streets in the afternoon
Captured souls can't escape
Try to hug again
Retrieving the lost heartbeat ......"
On the stage, Gu Yuming danced gently, and a person with a microphone stand danced out of the feeling of a sweet pas de deux, the dance steps were brisk, and every movement was just right to step on the rhythm.
sang to the climax, Gu Yuming's crisp and neat tap dance made the audience cheer, the movements were intense, but the breath did not fluctuate in the slightest.
Although Zhou Miao doesn't know how to dance, he still has a stage aesthetic, and although Gu Yuming's dance on stage doesn't seem to be difficult, it has a relative appreciation independent of the song.
Seeing this, Zhou Miao suddenly understood why Gu Yuming could be known as the king of Asian dance in that era, and he extended the dance to the song and melody to the greatest extent, perfectly showing the charm of the dance without taking away the attraction of the song itself.
Dancing is not the same as dancing, Gu Yuming's dancing skills are not the most outstanding, but he is the best combination of stage performance, costumes, lighting, etc., Asian dance king, well-deserved!
At the end of the song, Gu Yuming didn't even sweat much, and bowed to the audience with a smile amid fierce applause and screams, not only did the audience like it, but he himself was also satisfied with Fang Cai's performance.
The host Lin Jiawan walked up to the stage, "Okay, thank you Brother Ming for your wonderful performance, and then please vote for our dancing king, if you like his performance, please press the heartbeat button next to you!" Ten seconds to vote, the clock begins! ”
With Lin Jiawan's order, Gu Yuming's score on the big screen began to soar, and the momentum was very strong, if nothing else, he should get a relatively high score.
When the timer ended, Gu Yuming looked back at the score.
89.6 points.
The score is relative, and Gu Yuming, as the first guest on stage, doesn't know if this is high or low, but it didn't reach 90, which was a bit unexpected for him.
But in Zhou Miao's opinion, Gu Yuming's dancing is good, but because of the new songs he sings, and the quality is relatively average, he has not been able to resonate with the audience, and this score is reasonable.
The second person on the field was Hu Xuan, and Ding Jiahao on the side came over awkwardly and whispered to Zhou Miao: "Hu Xuan's nickname is the Voice of Hong Kong, so do you know what her feet should be called?" ”
Zhou Miao smiled but didn't say anything, his eyes picked at his back.
Ding Jiahao seemed to realize something, his smile suddenly stopped, and when he looked back, Hu Xuan was standing next to him, looking at him with a smile.
