Chapter 136 This show will become a temple for Tianxia musicians
The music stopped!

The singing stopped!

The show is over.

But the audience’s applause did not stop, and the audience’s cheers did not stop!
Cheng Cheng’s performance was so complete. The expressiveness in his voice, the straightforward and touching lyrics, and the exquisitely arranged composition all merged into a complete organism.

Those who have not seen the live performance will never be able to appreciate the beauty of this song!

It is not a sudden rainstorm, but a continuous dampness. Even after the song is over, its lingering sound still remains in the hearts of the audience.

So they didn't want to stop, the applause and cheering lasted for half a minute, one minute, three minutes!

The "Ajiu Escape Plan" that was supposed to go on stage immediately after Cheng Cheng finished singing didn't know what to do.

This was the first recording accident on the show.

Li Xiang came on stage urgently: "Thank you Li Huowang for the performance..."

Having said this, he suddenly choked up.

At this time, the audience realized that Li Xiang was also crying, with tear marks on his face.

"Sorry." Li Xiang turned around and wiped away his tears, then turned back and said, "I lost my composure a little bit."

The audience cheered for him in encouragement. Although it was a bit unprofessional for a host to shed tears on the spot, they all understood.

Compared to a mechanical host who doesn't make any trouble, they prefer this host who can't hide his emotions and is a little unprofessional.

Amid the audience's comfort, Li Xiang calmed down and said:

"We will send Teacher Li Huowang to rest for now. Now, please welcome Teacher Jiu to the stage."

Cheng Cheng bowed to the audience and then retreated to the backstage waiting area. Ajiu nodded to Cheng Cheng and went on stage.

In three minutes, Ajiu finished the song, and the host Li Xiang invited Cheng Cheng back to the stage.

The two people stood on both sides of Li Xiang, waiting for the jury's evaluation.

But unlike Ajiu who was anxious about his escape plan, Cheng Cheng was much calmer and stood there solemnly with an expressionless face.

Li Xiang: "The second match of the second round is over. I'm curious about how Mr. He Zhiyuan voted?"

He Zhiyuan leaned forward, staring at Cheng Cheng with a fiery gaze, and said:
"I voted for Li Huowang. His previous song made me feel his unparalleled stage dominance, but this song abandoned all vocal techniques and showed unprecedented emotional appeal! In the final analysis, music is an art that makes people empathize. All singing skills and techniques are actually just auxiliary means. The ultimate goal is to move people. In this regard, Teacher Li Huowang has done his best. This is also the only song in the audience where emotion is more important than technique. If I don't vote for him, I will be committing a great sin against myself."

Li Xiang: "Oh? Is that so? What do you think of Jiu?"

Ho Chi-Yuan: "I am a little distressed because Ah-Jiu also showed very good singing skills, blending many genres such as jazz and blues together to bring a brand new song."

Li Xiang asked: "What about Teacher Han Shi? Who do you think will win this round?"

Han Shi said, "Zhiyuan and I have different opinions."

Li Xiang was surprised: "Oh? What's the different opinion?"

Han Shi said: "In fact, Li Huowang did not fail to use his singing skills in this song, but his skills were used very skillfully, so skillfully that people could not detect it. If I guessed correctly, Li Huowang used the female key when singing this song, right?"

Female key refers to the vocal range suitable for female singers, which is usually higher. As mentioned earlier, female voices are about 6 to 7 keys higher than male voices, which is half an octave.

The key of female voice can basically be used to sing most of the male voice's songs easily, and the female voice change zone C3 is an authentic high note for male voice. Without advanced techniques and certain vocal conditions, it cannot be achieved with real (mixed) voice.

The original singer of the original version of "The Wind Rises" was a female, so Cheng Cheng did use a female key when singing.

Cheng Cheng nodded: "Yes."

After getting the confirmation, Han Shi showed a hint of pride on his face, and at the same time, with a bit of emotion, he explained to the audience who didn't understand:

"To put it simply, it is very difficult for male singers to sing female keys because of natural reasons. However, after a lot of vocal training, male singers gradually conquer the transition zone and keep the timbre uniform. Their voices are fuller and more solid, and their appeal and quality are higher than those of female singers.

In this song, Li Huowang showed off his vocal condition, and the most rare thing is that he has an extremely wide vocal range, conservatively estimated to span two and a half octaves, which is very rare. "

The breadth of vocal range is an important indicator to measure a singer's musical performance ability.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not only high notes that are difficult to sing, but low notes are also difficult to sing.

The bass/female voice cannot go up, and the soprano/male voice cannot go down.

Even if you ask G.E.M. to sing the bass, she won't be able to do it.

Han Shi continued, "As for Ah Jiu, if it's the one I think he is, he sang the song in a different way than usual. Maybe this stage can be a turning point, a stage where we can re-evaluate him. But unfortunately, he is not a competitive singer. On such a stage, he will inevitably suffer a loss, so I will still vote for Li Huowang."

Li Xiang was surprised and asked, "Has Teacher Han Shi already guessed who Ah Jiu is?"

Han Shi responded affirmatively: "Yes, I was a little unsure at first, but after listening to three songs, I already had a name in mind."

In fact, there are not so many difficult-to-guess singers in the domestic entertainment industry. One Li Huowang, one Jian Zhongren, and one Li Baona who is not a singer at all are enough.

In fact, not only Han Shi guessed who Ajiu was, He Zhiyuan and Zhang Qingfei also guessed it.

Under the mask, Ajiu's expression was a little bitter: Even if everyone guessed who it was, Han Shi didn't think highly of him, which only proved that the gap between him and Li Huowang was too big.

Li Xiang continued to ask: "Where is Jiang Nan? I saw you crying when Li Huowang was singing. Are you feeling better now?"

Jiang Nan's eyes were a little red and the tip of her nose was also red, which made her look even more delicate and cute.

She was a little embarrassed and said: "I want to vote for Li Huowang. Actually, Teacher Jiu also sings very well. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to sing it. I also like Teacher Jiu's singing, but Li Huowang's song is too beautiful and especially touching.

There are two things about this song that I think are great, one is the tone and the other is the emotion, so I feel it is very reluctant to rate this song. "

Li Xiang: "How do you say it?"

Jiang Nan struggled with his words and said:
"It's like facing a piece of art. I almost don't want to use any words or scores to evaluate it, for fear that such an evaluation will destroy its beauty and be offensive."

Li Xiang: "That's really a high evaluation! Okay, now to help with reasoning, let's move on to the familiar individual skills. First up is the street dance by Jiu."

The music started, and Jiu performed a street dance:

After the performance, he paused, breathless.

Then it was Cheng Cheng's turn.

Everyone in the audience looked at Cheng Cheng.

There are so many things they want to explore about this mysterious singer.

Like where is he from?
What is his daily life like?
How did he get into music?
What other unknown stories and experiences does he have?
What does he do?

and most importantly -

Who is he? !

They didn't want to miss even a little information. It would be even better if they could guess his identity through his personal skills.

Ajiu was drunk: Can’t my cool street dance win back your hearts?
Li Xiang: "Li Huowang's personal skill is mind reading. His designated guest performer is Jiang Nan. Please ask Jiang Nan to come to the stage."

Jiang Nan pointed at himself: Hey, me?

The other jury members thought regretfully:

Why isn't it me?

If I remember correctly, when Cheng Cheng performed hypnosis before, Jiang Nan was also his assistant, right?

Jiang Nan walked onto the stage reluctantly.

Then the mind reading began.

Cheng Cheng stared into her eyes, placed his fingers on his temples, and breathed heavily, as if he was practicing magic.

The audience and jury were curious:

Can he really read minds?
And why are his personal skills different from others?
Other people's personal skills are dancing, imitation, gesture dance and so on, but his personal skills are metaphysical, such as hypnosis and mind reading.

Is it because he is dressed as a Taoist priest?

He really maintained his personality in unexpected places!

After a while, Cheng Cheng said: "I am reading my own heart~~~"

The audience and the jury were all furious:
Damn! Read your own heart?!
Jiang Nan collapsed and almost spit out a mouthful of salt water:
No, why did you ask me to come on stage when you were reading your own heart? ! ! !
Are you bullying me again?!

Damn it! You've bullied me four times!

Jiang Nan was furious and wanted to throw the hood of the guy in front of her to the ground, or call her good brother Cheng Cheng directly and ask her good brother to avenge her and make things difficult for this guy!
Do you know! My good brother is the youngest and most talented director of Tianxia, ​​and the chief director and planner of this program! I have a backstage!

The audience laughed like crazy:

"Hahahaha, the first part is hypnosis and the second part is mind reading. You're crazy. Hahahaha!"

"It's so funny, could it be that funny guy Mao Qian?"

"Impossible, Mao Qian can't sing that well!"

“You’re so real!”

"Is it possible? This is called thinking?"

“It’s okay to read your own mind!”

“Someone come save my shitty sense of humor, hahahaha!”

"Redefining mind reading!"

"So I can read minds, too. I'm hungry!"

"How can he be so funny? Hahaha. He can sing and be funny. I'm already his fan."

"Please find out the psychological shadow area of ​​Jiang Nan at this moment."

"Nannan has been played badly, hahahaha!"

After both of them performed their individual skills, Li Xiang announced the results of the second round:

Cheng Cheng won the second round with an overwhelming advantage of 231 votes to 55 votes, without any suspense.

In the second stage of the singing king competition, Ajiu was the first to be eliminated!

Now only Cheng Cheng and Jian Zhongren are left. Whoever wins next will become the first generation king of "King of Masked Singer".

Li Xiang first analyzed the situation, then said loudly:
"The mysterious music show, King of Masked Singer, has now come to the third 1v1 duel of the second stage. The next duel will determine who will be the first generation king of King of Masked Singer! What kind of songs will the two of you sing to face the final stage today? Their choice will determine the direction of this duel!"

"Now I declare that the third 1v1 match is about to begin!"

As soon as Li Xiang's voice fell, the whole audience was boiling!
The audience's emotions were pushed to a climax!
Among the six masked singers in the first episode, the two strongest ones are Jian Zhongren and Cheng Cheng.

Now, has the final battle finally arrived?

Judges:
Zhang Qingfei: "Brother Han, who do you think will win between the two of them?"

Han Shi analyzed: "Technically speaking, Jianzhongren is better than Li Huowang. Her high notes are very stable, her breath is full, and she can switch between true and false voices easily. The most terrifying thing is her head cavity resonance. The vocal position is very scientific. She must have received five or six years of systematic training. Her style is very stable. In the next performance, she will only get better, not worse."

Zhang Qingfei: "What do you think of the man in the cocoon?"

"No!" Han Shi shook his head and said, "I can't make up my mind. Although the Cocoon Man's singing skills are better, can you be sure that Li Huowang will not come up with an original song that is comparable to the previous two, or even better than the previous two?
And judging from these two performances alone, Li Huowang is a singer who is born to express emotions through music. His recorded songs are definitely not as good as his live performances, because when he sings live, he has rich body language, perfect stage performance and singing awareness, which makes him more contagious. Every expression and movement is a natural reaction to the performance. "

Zhang Qingfei: "The scary thing is that his next original work won't be as good as the previous one."

Han Shi said: "This is the uncertainty of originality."

Zhang Qingfei: "It's hard for the man in the cocoon to win; it's even harder for Li Huowang to win! They are truly a strong duel!"

He Zhiyuan: "No matter what, no matter who wins, this show is definitely a success. Among all the shows I have participated in, only Infinite Voices can compare with this show. Director Cheng Cheng's creativity is really strong."

Han Shi also said: "In the future, this program will be the temple of Tianxia musicians. As long as there are singers with ambition, they will come to participate in this program. It is an honor for us to participate in this program."

After hearing what the two big guys said, Song Yifei began to think about whether he had performed well or not. He was just a small idol and he especially needed this popularity.

Jiang Nan was secretly delighted: They are praising my good brother's program!
The audience also started discussing it.

“Who do you think will win?”

"I don't know, but I like Li Huowang more!"

"I like the Cocoon Man! The Cocoon Man sings well, and Li Huowang is a good singer."

Amid the discussion, the third match began.

When they met in the waiting area, the man in the cocoon said to Cheng Cheng: "I don't know who you are, but I will win. I will be the first generation of singing king!"

Cheng Cheng: "You will know that you can't."

The man in the cocoon shook his head and walked through the corridor to the stage.

The first episode of "King of Masked Singer" has begun.
