Chapter 158: "Confession Balloon" advances to the finals

The next competing singer walked to the center of the stage against the backlight.

As the audience guessed, Fang Xing was the third singer to appear in the competition.

He Hao asked a question before starting the competition: "Fang Xing, before starting the competition, I want to say one thing.

"A few days ago, two friends who came to the show to accompany you said that they wanted to come to watch the show live, and asked me to intercede with the director.

"Tonight, they're here to watch you play.

"Do you suddenly feel nervous when a friend comes?"

Fang Xing showed a surprised expression on his face, his eyes swept down the stage, and soon saw Lu Xiang'er and Ning Xiaoyun in the audience reserved by the program team.

Ning Xiaoyun waved excitedly.

Lu Xiang'er waved her hand and raised her thumb and shouted, "Come on!" ”

When the cameraman turned the camera to them, Lu Xianger hurriedly blocked her face with her hand.

Ning Xiaoyun showed a big smile and waved hello to the camera.

Fang Xing was a little surprised, he didn't expect them to appear on the scene.

This situation was not expected at the beginning.

However, it is also good that Lu Xianger appeared on the scene.

He Hao continued to ask, "Have you seen these two friends?" ”

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I saw it." ”

He Hao asked: "Some of the singer friends I know, some of them sing in front of relatives and friends, they will be more nervous, how do you feel now?" ”

"It's fine." Fang Xing still gave the same answer.

"The theme of tonight's competition is 'love', the taste of love, sweet and sour, bittersweet and salty, mixed flavors, so which flavor are you going to sing tonight?" He Hao began to bring the topic to the song.

"That should be sweet." Fang Xing looked at Lu Xiang'er in the audience, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"Is it sweeter than "Across the Sea to See You"?" He Hao cued the song Li Caiwei sang again.

"Actually, "Across the Sea to See You" is not very sweet, it is just the mood of loving someone, and the taste of people who are not loved is sour." Fang Xing replied.

"So the song you're going to sing tonight is a one-man story or a two-person story?" He Hao continued to delve into the topic.

"You'll know when you listen to the song." Fang Xing did not answer directly.

"It's still whetting our appetite, in that case, let's tell the audience friends, what is the name of the song you want to sing tonight?" He Hao asked the last question.

Fang Xing slowly said the name of the song: ""Confession Balloon". ”

"Confession Balloon" is a song sung by Jay Chou, written by Fang Wenshan, composed by Jay Chou, and arranged by Lin Maike.

The song won the 2016 Top 10 Golden Melody Awards from Billboard Radio A, as well as the Best Song of the Year Award at the 28th Golden Melody Awards.

"Then let's listen to this "Confession Balloon", and the stage will be handed over to Fang Xing." He Hao finished the series in an excited tone, and the lights on the stage dimmed.

The spotlight hit Fang Xing, making the eyes of the entire studio focus on him.

Lu Xiang'er was a little nervous, her hands were clasped with her fingers, her chin was propped up, and she just stared at the person on the stage.

When she heard the title of the song "Confession Balloon", her heart began to beat wildly.

All sorts of thoughts came to her mind: What does this song mean? Did you sing it to me? Or is it sung to others?

She was even worried that there were other "people" at the scene, and couldn't help but look left and right.

If the song was for someone else, she would love to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Ning Xiaoyun had already started waving excitedly, but found Lu Xiang'er next to her, nervously fidgeting.

"What's the matter with you? Don't you understand the title of this song? Why is there no reaction at all? ”

"What if this song wasn't sung to me? In case it's sung to the rest of the audience, I'll ...... I ......" The more Lu Xianger thought about it, the more worried she became.

She felt that if it was really such a bad situation, it would definitely be a large-scale social death scene.

"Impossible, it's definitely sung to you. Who else? Ning Xiaoyun insisted on this idea.

"However, he didn't know about our visit. How could it be sung to me? The more Lu Xiang'er thought about it, the more it made sense.

The two of them came to watch the show on the spot, and they hadn't communicated with Fang Xing beforehand, so it was impossible to sing this song to her on the spot.

"You're thinking too much. It's really a fan of the authorities. Don't worry about it so much, listen to the song carefully first, and after the show is recorded, things will naturally understand. Ning Xiaoyun grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand, raised it and began to swing along with the prelude.

The beautiful melody of "Confession Balloon" wafted out, and the light notes danced in the studio hall.

Fang Xing raised the microphone and began to sing:

"Coffee on the banks of the Seine, on the left bank.

"I have a cup in my hand, taste your beauty, leave a lip print on the mouth.

"Florist Rose, who misspelled the name.

"Confession balloons, the wind blows across the street.

"Smile and fly ...... in the sky"

With a sweet melody and cheerful lyrics, it reaches the ears of the audience.

When the audience heard this sweet singing, their mood immediately relaxed.

Originally, some viewers at the scene only listened to "Essay Poems Written by Father" on TV last night, worried that Fang Xing would come up with another tear gas.

Because he already had a stress reaction, when Fang Xing stood on the stage.

The audience was ready to withstand the tear gas attack.

It's just that as soon as Fang Xing's singing voice came out, the audience at the scene suddenly felt that their mood was suddenly brightened.

The sweetness rises in a straight line as the melody and lyrics blend.

The light melody also made the audience wave their hands along with the notes.

on stage.

Fang Xing glanced at the nervous girl in the audience, retracted his gaze, and continued to sing:

"You said you were a bit hard to chase, and you wanted me to retreat.

"You don't have to pick the most expensive gift, just the fallen leaves of the Champs.

"Create a romantic date and don't be afraid to mess everything up.

"If you have it, you will have the ...... of the whole world"

Lu Xiang'er, who was in the audience, listened to the singing and slowly left the cranky thoughts in her heart behind.

She made a decision in her heart, and when the show was recorded, she said that she would come out to play with Ning Xiaoyun and come to watch the show by the way.

If this song is sung to others, then it will not die.

Anyway, it's all here, just listen to the song carefully.

After figuring it out, her mood began to improve, and although she was still a little nervous, she could already feel the sweetness in the song.

The smile on her face is like a winter snowflake melting in the palm of her hand, making people want to hold it in the palm of their hand.

The audience at the scene was a little puzzled: "Is it really a song that is sweet from beginning to end?" There won't be a fraud, right? Don't do any reversal. ”

The audience next to him analyzed: "Probably not, it's not that Fang Xing hasn't sung sweet love songs, don't forget "Qilixiang". ”

The audience's emotions drifted through the sweet melody and gradually came to the last chorus.

Fang Xing raised the melody and continued to sing:

"Honey, in love with you, love diary.

"Memories of perfume.

"A whole bottle of dreams, all of you.

"Stir together.

"Don't be willful, dear, your eyes.

"I'm saying I do."

After the whole song is sung, the last end note falls.

The audience at the scene listened very happily, compared with other bitter love songs, this "Confession Balloon" is particularly fresh.

After the song ended, the audience began to applaud enthusiastically.

He Hao returned to the stage, smiled mysteriously, and said: "How can I listen to this song, it looks like a confession?" ”

"It was originally called "Confession Balloon"." Fang Xing replied with a smile.

"That's a clever answer."

He Hao showed a smile that he couldn't say anything, and then began to say the string words: "Next, it's the turn of the next singer to appear, first ask Fang Xing to go back to the rest area to rest......"

The next singers and songs they sing are basically bitter love songs.

There are indeed a lot of bitter love songs in pop music.

Sometimes, it is indeed a bitter love song, and it can be sung more in the hearts of the audience.

It's just that tonight is a bit of a special situation.

Li Caiwei first used a song "Drifting Across the Sea to See You", which portrayed the appearance of loving someone too clearly.

seems to let the audience see what a person who loves himself should look like.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xing used a song "Confession Balloon" to tell the audience how to respond to the person he likes.

Only "Across the Sea to See You", this song is actually not very sweet, it is just an expression of one person, and it may not be able to get a response.

After adding "Confession Balloon", the story is superimposed, interpreting what love is, which fits the theme of tonight.

also told the audience clearly.

Love is not a one-person thing, it's two-person thing.

Like a person, even the light in the eyes, is talking.

Therefore.

After "Across the Sea to See You" and "Confession Balloon" were sung, the singers behind sang bitter love songs, which made the audience feel very uncomfortable.

The front is so sweet, but the song behind pulls the audience from the sweetness into the bitter sea of love.

made the audience not buy it, and after the singers in the back finished singing, the applause was sparse and not enthusiastic.

There were even some audience members who wanted Fang Xing to come back and sing "Confession Balloon" again.

Who wants to listen to bitter love songs on such a happy night.

After all the singers have finished singing.

The program team arranged an on-site hearing to start voting, and the singers went to the ranking hall to wait for the final results.

After the vote count is over.

Zheng Tao came to announce the results.

This time the competition is fierce, but it is also fierce, and it is not fierce, and it is not very fierce.

Because, there will be no singers eliminated tonight, but there will be a singer with the best results in the whole season, and he will advance to the finals "Battle of the King of Singers" in advance.

Unfortunately, Fang Xing sang all the way, and he was basically the first.

Therefore, in the eighth phase, even if you take the first place from the bottom, there is a high probability that you will be the first to advance.

Before announcing the results, Zheng Tao asked as always: "Fang Xing, who do you think can win the first place tonight?" ”

Fang Xing thought for a while and said: "Actually, when I sang "Confession Balloon" tonight, I didn't come for the first, I just wanted to sing this song, so whoever the first is, I think it's good." If I have to choose a song, I think "Across the Ocean to See You" has a better chance. ”

"So let's congratulate...... Li Caiwei, "Across the Sea to See You" received the highest number of votes tonight, ranking first. Congratulations! Zheng Tao directly announced the results.

may be the popularity of the show, and "Across the Sea to See You" will also vote for Fang Xing in part of the hearing.

In the end, Fang Xing won the second place.

However, this time the third is not Liu Hongsheng, but South Korean singer Zhong Yuanxun.

This time, Zhong Yuanxun chose a classic English song, the high-pitched high pitch of the chorus, which was very shocking and successfully defeated Liu Hongsheng.

When Liu Hongsheng heard this result, his expression stiffened.

After announcing tonight's rankings, Zheng Tao continued to announce the results of the finals:

"When I recorded the last episode, I already explained the promotion rules for the finals 'Battle of the King of Singers'.

"Therefore, tonight will decide the first singer to advance to the 'Battle of the King of Singers'.

"The promotion will be determined by the total number of votes for the whole season.

"And this season, from the first episode to tonight's eighth episode, eight episodes, the singer with the highest number of votes is ......"

Shen Xiyin and Xie Yuwen complained in unison: "Director Zheng, even if we are fools and guess with our toes, we know who it is, so there is no need to hang our appetite, right?" ”

Zheng Tao smiled and said: "You know, the audience doesn't necessarily know." ”

Shen Xiyin rolled her eyes and drew a horizontal line in front of her with her finger: "Do you see it, this is the audience's barrage, they all said they knew." ”

Zheng Tao was not embarrassed at all, and continued: "Then let's announce the first singer to advance to the 'Battle of the King of Singers', he is...... Fang wakes up.

"Congratulations, see you on stage in the finals, and thank you for your contribution to the show, which brought us eight great songs."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Fang Xing.

"Thank you, thank you......" Fang Xing hurriedly returned the salute.

After thanking him, Fang Xing pointed to the door and asked, "Then can I go?" ”

Zheng Tao shook his head and smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry, at least finish recording this link?" ”

"No, I just feel like there's nothing to do with me in the back, just sit here and be a mascot." Fang Xinghan said with a smile.

Zheng Tao continued: "Next, it's time for everyone to be most concerned about things. That's right, the next thing to be announced is the theme of the next competition, nervous? ”

The singers present were nervous.

Because in the next issue, there will be a second singer who will advance to the "Battle of the King of Singers".

Originally, Liu Hongsheng had the greatest hope, but tonight Zhong Yuanxun suddenly appeared, making the situation confusing.

Moreover, although Zhong Yuanxun's previous ranking has not reached the top, his ranking is not low, so the gap between the total number of votes and Liu Hongsheng is not large.

Besides.

The votes of Xie Yuwen and Xu Xinjun are also expected to compete for the promotion places.

Moreover, even if the ninth phase fails to advance, the tenth phase still has a chance.

In other words, each of the next issues is very important, as long as the singers in front can surpass the previous singers in terms of votes, they have the hope of advancing to the "Battle of the King of Singers".

Zheng Tao continued: "Before announcing the theme of the next competition, let's first announce the current overall ranking.

"Tonight we will not announce the number of total votes, only the ranking of the total number of votes.

The total number of votes is Liu Hongsheng, Zhong Yuanxun, Xie Yuwen, Xu Xinyun, and Li Caiwei......

"Caiwei's total number of votes is slightly lower, after all, she came in halfway.

However, the gap between the first four singers is not too big, and they all hope to compete for the next two places in the 'Battle of the King of Singers'.

"So, come on, everybody."

Xie Yuwen originally ranked third in the total number of votes, but he was overtaken by Zhong Yuanxun tonight, and the situation was a bit dangerous.

He urged: "Director Zheng, hurry up and announce the theme of the competition." ”

Zheng Tao glanced at the hand card and said, "The theme of the next competition is...... Dream. ”

Hearing this theme, the singers present couldn't help but sigh.

Dream theme, there are many songs to choose from, but they are also not easy to sing.

After announcing the theme of the next competition, Zheng Tao bowed and thanked: "Thank you, tonight's recording has ended. There is a period of preparation for mining, and after the preparation is over, everyone can disband. ”

……

The singers returned to their respective rest rooms and began to prepare for the shooting with the choreographer.

"Zhong Yuanxun, how does it feel to win the third place tonight?" The choreographer began to ask Zhong Yuanxun questions.

The interpreter translated this question into Korean and told Chung Won-hoon.

Zhong Yuanxun replied in Korean, and then translated into Chinese by the translator: "It feels very good, because it is the first time to participate in Xiangjiang Satellite TV's "Singing", I am not familiar with the tastes of your audience.

"So in the first few episodes of the show, I didn't find a way to get high scores, and the ranking will get higher and higher."

The choreographer continued to ask: "So that's the case, so what is the way you found to get a high score?" ”

Zhong Yuanxun replied: "That's the high tone, I found that your audience likes to listen to the high sound, the higher the more shocking." ”

The choreographer thought for a moment and said, "But Fang Xing has sung a few episodes that are not high-pitched songs." ”

Zhong Yuanxun smiled and replied, "He is in a special case, and the songs he sings are of high quality. Moreover, in the first issue of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", he also relied on his high voice to win the first place.

In addition to Fang Xing, the situation of others is more obvious, Li Caiwei's "It's Dawn", Liu Hongsheng's "Wutong Night Rain", the more high-pitched, the higher the ranking.

"I didn't find this pattern in the previous installments, so I missed a lot.

"However, from the next issue onwards, the first one will be mine."

The choreographer continued to ask: "Then do you think, apart from Fang Xing, among the remaining singers, who is your biggest competitor?" ”

Zhong Yuanxun shook his head and replied, "There is no opponent." ”

The choreographer continued to ask: "Aren't Liu Hongsheng and Li Caiwei good?" ”

Zhong Yuanxun shook his finger and replied, "They can sing okay, but in terms of singing skills, they are not my opponents." ”

When the choreographer heard this answer, his eyes lit up.

If this segment is broadcast, the variety show effect will definitely be full.

"It turns out that Mr. Zhong is so confident, so let's wait and see how well we perform in the next issue." The choreographer finished the last sentence and ended tonight's preparations.
