In the guest lounge area.

The orchestra and guests invited by the competing singers all watched the competition in this rest area.

Among them, there is a young man wearing a suit and bow tie, who is the young pianist Zhou Mingqiao who was invited by Chaoyin Culture to come over to perform piano accompaniment for Li Siqi.

Zhou Mingqiao came to accompany Li Siqi this time.

He didn't know much about the men's group, so he was invited over this time, first, because he had a friend, secondly, the songs he chose were not bad, and thirdly, the stage of "Singing" was the ceiling of domestic music programs.

All things considered, here he comes.

He knew that the mysterious kicking singer in the host's mouth was Li Siqi.

As for who Li Siqi wants to kick, he doesn't care.

After all, he was only here to accompany this performance, and the subsequent matches had nothing to do with him.

He just needs to play to his heart's content.

Therefore, he is not involved in the decision-making of Li Siqi's team.

When the host announced the goal of kicking the hall, Zhou Mingqiao didn't care very much.

When chatting with the guests next to me, I learned that this singer called Fang Xing is very strong.

However, I hadn't paid attention to Fang Xing before, so I didn't have an intuitive feeling.

When he heard the prelude to "Qili Xiang", he immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling that the prelude of this song was of a very high level.

The melody sounds very gentle, but it fully expresses the artistic conception of summer and poetry.

Moreover, he can be sure that the higher the musicianship, the higher the evaluation of the song.

After listening to the main song and chorus, Zhou Mingqiao felt that this song was no longer inferior to the song that Li Siqi wanted to sing.

However, this is not the end of the story, when the interlude modulation appears, and then the strings join, and the brilliant string ensemble takes the song to a higher level.

After listening to the interlude, Zhou Mingqiao already knew in his heart that it was impossible for Li Siqi to win.

In fact.

The song that Li Siqi is going to sing this time is called "After all, I want to go away", which is a golden song that has won many awards in Blue Star, and the level of the song is also very high.

It's just that after the interlude of "Qili Xiang" appeared, the lyrics and music of "After all, it will be far away" seem to be a notch lower.

It's deadly, but it's not the deadliest.

Zhou Mingqiao's musical literacy allows him to hear the sound of each instrument and the timbre of the singer clearly.

Therefore, he is very sure that this singer named Fang Xing surpasses Li Siqi too much in terms of singing ability.

Therefore, before he played, Zhou Mingqiao already knew that this was a performance that was destined not to win.

However, he is only here to play the piano, as long as he plays the piano well.

As for winning or losing, it doesn't matter to him.

……

on stage.

After Fang Xing finished singing, he adjusted his mood.

He Hao returned to the stage and said: "Before the competition just now, the goal chosen by the singer has been announced, do you think he will challenge?" ”

Fang Xing asked curiously, "What if I don't challenge it?" ”

He Hao replied seriously: "If the singer who kicks the gym doesn't challenge twice, then he loses the opportunity to kick the gym." ”

"Wouldn't you have to sing?" Fang Xing asked again.

"Yes, there is no chance to sing." He Hao nodded.

"That's too comfortable, isn't it? You don't have to sing to get paid. Fang Xing had a very envious expression on his face.

He Hao stumbled: "How did you think of going there." ”

After the joke is over, the variety show effect is also there.

He Hao turned to the topic: "So did this kicking singer challenge it?" Let's take a look. ”

It's all ......

As soon as the words fell, the alarm sounded at the scene, and red lights flashed all over the venue.

He Hao showed an expectant expression and said, "Okay, hearing this alarm sound means that this kicking singer has launched a challenge."

"Fang Xing, are you nervous now? I was really kicked out of the gym this time. And according to reliable information from the director's team, the kicking singer invited a famous pianist to accompany him this time. ”

Fang Xing said with a sudden: "It's not nervous, in fact, I'm wondering if the singer who kicked the gym will regret not kicking the gym in the first issue." ”

Li Siqi, who was sitting in the rest room of the singer in the kicking hall, heard this sentence, and his expression suddenly froze.

Because he found that the first game was kicked out of the gym, the situation was not necessarily worse than now.

In terms of the song itself, the melody of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is more suitable for singing live, and it is more advantageous to use it for competition.

However, the first one is not a theme competition, and Li Siqi can choose more songs and is more free.

In the second game, because it was a theme competition, the range of songs was much narrower, which made it more difficult to kick the venue.

He Hao raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do you think that if the singer who kicks the gym initiates the kicking of the gym in the first competition, the odds of winning are greater?" ”

Fang Xing smiled and asked, "That's not it, in fact, the result should be the same." ”

He Hao reacted immediately.

Fang Xing took the first place in the first competition, and if the singer wanted to win, he had to surpass the first, which was difficult......

But thinking back to "Qili Xiang" just now, it's really hard to say which one is more difficult, anyway, they are all hell-level difficulties.

He Hao, as the host, began to feel helpless for the singers who kicked the hall.

Both kicks were hellish difficulty, and before they were compared, the result was already doomed.

Unless a miracle happens.

Although he felt so in his heart, He Hao would not say it, but continued to announce in an excited tone:

"Thank you Fang Xing for your wonderful singing, please go back to the rest room to watch the game.

"Then it's the turn of tonight's kicking singer.

"Who is this kicking singer?

"He is a superstar with 30 million followers on Weibo.

He is also a topic of conversation for 366 days a year, 366 days a year.

"He's not fighting alone.

"They swept many group awards at the three major Chinese Golden Melody Awards when they debuted.

"Tonight, he wants to use the microphone in his hand to prove that his music can also be independent.

"Now, let's have tonight's kick singer, he's ......"

He Hao didn't pronounce the name, but turned to look at the back of the stage.

A light shot from the back of the stage, and a singer with the body of a model came against the light.

Because He Hao's introduction just now was very grand, the audience was very curious about the identity of the kicking singer.

Everyone craned their necks to look, but the kicking singer walked against the light and couldn't see his face clearly.

Fang Xing was also very curious, who was so iron-headed and chose himself twice in a row.

By the time the kicker reached the center of the stage, the backlight disappeared and the spotlight fell from above.

The audience finally saw the appearance of the singer who kicked the gym, and suddenly a young audience shouted out.

"Li Siqi! It turned out to be Li Siqi! ”

"Li Siqi, isn't he the captain of SPK? How did you get to "Singing"? ”

In the impression of most ordinary audiences, Li Siqi is the captain of the idol boy group SPK.

SPK is indeed very popular in China, and it can be said that it is the ceiling of the domestic men's group now.

However, most of the audience is still rational.

In the audience's impression, SPK is very popular, and Li Siqi is even more popular, but he has never been able to shake off the label of a men's group.

Ordinary audiences will think that the men's group should do the things of the men's group, group singing and dancing, group variety, variety shows, and idol dramas.

Only a competitive singing program like "Singing" should not come to join in the fun.

In the program "Singing", it is either a king of heaven, or a powerful singer who has never met a talent, or a dimensionality reduction blow of the national team.

The men's group came here, and the painting style was wrong.

Before the competition began, He Hao had to have an interaction.

However, He Hao was very wise not to mention the goal of playing in the gym with him, because Li Siqi's face was already very solemn.

"Si Qi is coming to the stage of "Singing" for the first time, and I heard that this time he also brought a heavyweight partner, can you introduce it to me?" He Hao began to guide the topic.

"It is a pianist who recently won an international award, Mr. Zhou Mingqiao. It was also fate that allowed us to get to know each other, so I asked him to accompany my competition song tonight. Li Siqi answered the question according to the script.

"What's the name of the song this time?" After He Hao had a brief interaction, he accelerated to the main topic.

"The title of the song "After all, it will be far away" tells the story of an ignorant love during the period of educated youth, and had to be separated due to the situation." Li Siqi introduced the background story of the song a little.

In fact, the song "After all, I want to go away" is the theme song of a TV series that tells the story of educated youth.

This TV series was broadcast on CCTV 20 years ago and created a ratings myth.

This song has also become one of the most familiar songs of the 60s and 70s generation.

This time, the selection of songs is a decision made by Li Siqi's team after discussion.

In terms of decision-making, the selection of songs this time is indeed very ingenious.

Because Chaoyin Culture has done a survey, Li Siqi is very popular among the post-90s and post-00s groups, and he also has a good reputation among the post-80s groups.

The only thing missing is the popularity of the 60s and 70s.

Therefore, Li Siqi's team very cleverly chose this song "After all, it will be far away" to awaken the feelings of the 60s and 70s generation.

In this way, Li Siqi's competition tonight can kill 60, 70, 80, 90, and 00, five young listeners.

The interaction ends, and the lights are pressed.

Zhou Mingqiao sat down in front of the piano and pressed the first note.

A melancholy melody flowed out.

Li Siqi picked up the microphone and began to sing in a deep voice:

"Your back will eventually go away. Search along the railroad tracks, far away. Where you can never go, you will be encircled in the map for the rest of your life......"

Hearing Li Siqi's singing, the first singers on the scene felt a little pity.

With Li Siqi's popularity and the performance of this song, if you change your goal, you will be very hopeful that you will succeed in the gym.

It's a pity that the target chosen is too terrifying.

Moreover, when Li Siqi was in the men's group, the group songs he sang were all dance music.

Therefore, he sings this song in a deep voice, which can obviously be heard, and he is not so proficient.

Coupled with his experience, he can't sing the emotions of that era.

So, in the 60s and 70s, this song is not so pure.

In terms of singing skills, although he is already a very good singer in the men's group, he is not outstanding in "Singing".

The accompaniment of the piano is of a high level, but the accompaniment does not impose many points.

After Li Siqi finished singing, the scene resounded with warm applause.

Some viewers applauded the song, while others applauded Li Siqi's courage.

It's just that the songs that are flat and straightforward, although they can also awaken the feelings of the audience, cannot cover up the light of "Qili Xiang".

There were still a lot of spectators, immersed in the cool breeze of summer just now.

After Li Siqi finished singing, the starting singers behind him appeared to sing one after another.

It wasn't until the last singer, Chen Lizhu, finished singing that the 500 judges at the scene began to vote.

The program team will count the number of votes on the spot.

Meanwhile.

The choreographer began to prepare the singers.

The choreographer asked: "Fang Xing, before the singer appeared, did you guess his identity?" ”

Fang Xing shook his head: "No, I don't know who it is." ”

Choreographer: "When you saw that the singer who kicked the gym was Li Siqi, did you ever worry? ”

Fang Xing: "What are you worried about?" ”

Choreographer: "I'm worried about losing the gym, if I lose, it is possible to be eliminated directly." ”

Fang Xing: "How low do I have to be in the second game to fall out of the top three in the comprehensive ranking of the two games?" ”

Since the first "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" has already won the first place.

If you want to fall out of the top three in the overall ranking of two games, then you have to take the penultimate first in the second competition.

"Seven Mile Fragrance" is the penultimate one?

How blind is the on-site hearing to be able to cast this type of vote?

Moreover, after listening to the competition songs of the other six starting singers, there is no reason why "Qili Xiang" should not take the first place.

Choreographer: "Then were you surprised when you saw that the singer of the kicking hall was Li Siqi?" ”

Fang Xing: "It's okay." ”

Choreographer: "Then do you know why he chose you as the target for both games?" ”

Fang Xing: "I don't know, I don't know him." Maybe there was a confrontation on the music charts? ”

Choreographer: "Then what do you think of Li Siqi's singing tonight?" ”

Fang Xing: "It's okay, the first echelon in the men's team." ”

This answer is realistic, but the scope has to be well circled, and the first echelon in the men's group is placed in the music world, so there is no need to evaluate it.

Choreographer: "Then do you think Li Siqi's kick tonight will be successful?" ”

Fang Xing: "It's a little difficult. ”

……

After the preparation is completed.

The program team arranged for the singers to come to the ranking announcement hall.

The seven starting singers were seated in order of appearance.

Li Siqi, as a kicking singer, sits on the far right.

Fang Xing was the first singer to appear, and the seat sat on the far left.

After the first competition, the starting singers are already familiar with each other.

Once you've sat down, start chatting.

Everybody's making business touts:

"It was so good to sing tonight, especially the first line of the chorus, it was fantastic."

"You too, you sing so well, I'm fascinated by it, and the makeup is almost spent."

I waited for about half an hour.

Zheng Tao took the final competition results, walked into the hall, and stood in front of the singers.

The final voting results have been counted, and 500 people on the scene have heard and finally received 495 valid votes, with a total of 1,492 votes.

"Moreover, the number of votes for the first place in tonight's competition is higher than the first place in the previous show, 8 votes higher."

Everyone turned their eyes to Fang Xing.

Because the first place in the last game was Fang Xing's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

Zheng Tao added: "However, tonight's first place and the first place in the last game are not necessarily the same person. ”

Xie Yuwen complained: "It doesn't have to be the same person, but it may be the same person, right?" ”

All of you here are powerful singers, who sings well and who sings averagely, they all know in their hearts.

Maybe the ranking may not be 100% accurate, but the error will not be too large.

Therefore, in Xie Yuwen's view, tonight's "Qili Xiang", even if it doesn't take the first place, is definitely the top three.

The specific ranking depends on the acceptance of the on-site hearing.

After all, the 500 judges on the scene cover all age groups, and the prediction is indeed not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

In particular, there may be a large generation gap between the older auditors, the aesthetics of music, and the younger ones.

Zheng Tao didn't answer Xie Yuwen's words, continued to smile, and asked, "Do you want to hear the results of the kicking hall first?" Or do you want to hear the ranking results? ”

Xie Yuwen replied: "What do we want to hear?" Do you just announce something? ”

Zheng Tao smiled and said: "Don't hang your appetite tonight, you can announce whatever you want to hear." ”

"What you said, then I want to listen to the results of the kicking hall first." Xie Yuwen didn't believe that this dog director would be a moth.

"Okay, let's announce the results of the kick first." Zheng Tao immediately agreed.

"Huh...... Director Zheng, this is not your style. "Xie Yuwen has been tortured to the point of stress.

Zheng Tao looked at Fang Xing and asked, "Fang Xing, what do you think of the result of tonight's kicking competition?" ”

Fang Xing waved his hand with a disgusted face and said, "I don't know, don't ask me." ”

This question is too difficult to answer.

If you answer: The singer who kicked the gym didn't have a chance, he could go home directly.

When it is broadcast, it will be sprayed too rampantly.

If you answer: The kicking singer is very strong, and he has a good chance of winning.

When it is broadcast, it will be sprayed too hypocritically.

Fang Xing simply didn't take this stubble, and directly asked Zheng Tao to ask another party.

Although he didn't answer this question directly, Fang Xing's expressions and movements, coupled with this disgusted answer, can simply be an emoji.

The variety show effect has been achieved.

Zheng Tao was very satisfied, turned to Li Siqi, and asked, "Li Siqi, are you satisfied with your performance in the gym tonight?" ”

Li Siqi replied expressionlessly: "My performance tonight is okay, and I have already played the level of rehearsals." ”

Zheng Tao then asked: "Then do you think you can win tonight?" ”

Li Siqi thought about it for a while and gave a very official answer: "The opponent is very strong, a very respectable opponent, as for the result, it depends on which song the on-site hearing prefers, and I can't guess the result." ”

There was one last bit of hope in his heart.

Because of the song "Qili Xiang", in the ears of the 60s and 70 age groups, I am not sure whether it will be popular.

And the "After all" he sang "After all, it will be far away" can harvest the feelings of the 60s and 70 generations.

If the 60s and 70s don't like "Qilixiang", then he still has a little chance of winning.

After all, in the ears of the audience, singing strength is not the scoring criterion, but whether the song is good or not.

Zheng Tao glanced around and officially announced the results: "What is the result of tonight's kicking hall?" Was it a success, or a failure? Let's start by announcing the number of votes for the kicking singers.

Li Siqi competed tonight and finally got 175 votes, ranking fifth.

"So it's a pity, Li Siqi, you didn't succeed in kicking the gym tonight, thank you for coming to the stage of "Singing", thank you."

Li Siqi's expression was very stiff, and he couldn't hold back a little.

He stood up and folded his hands and said goodbye to the singers present: "The results are announced, I won't stay longer, I have to catch a plane, everyone say goodbye." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly, expressionless from beginning to end.
