Chapter 147: Another new magic masterpiece, second update

Li Xiang: "The singing king competition is over, now is the time to choose. Number one is Li Huowang who loves flying kites, number two is the person in the cocoon who saw me today, and who will be the final choice for the second generation singing king? Who do you want to choose as the singing king?"

The audience and the jury all lowered their heads, concentrating on the voting machines in their hands.

Soon, Li Xiang's voice fell: "The voting is over!"

He said, "First, let's listen to Mr. Han Shi's thoughts on the King of Songs Contest!"

Han Shi picked up the microphone, as if he had been waiting for a long time:

"First of all, the performance of Cocoon's singer today was perfect. She continued her usual style. Her voice was extremely explosive and infectious. All her vocal skills were natural. Among the female singers in Tianxia, ​​she is second to none."

Li Xiang: "Second place, one place? Is that such a high evaluation?"

Han Shi said, "Indeed, I'm telling you a very cruel fact. The talent of the Cocoon is not overstated. Saying that she is in the top two does not mean that there are only one or two female singers who are better than her, but that she can touch the real ceiling of Tianxia's top singing skills. If the full score for singing skills is 100 points, then the top singers of Tianxia are all competing in the segment above 100 points, and many people, no matter how hard they try in their lives, can't break through the passing line of 60 points. It is meaningless to talk about singing skills with top singers. Their singing skills are not the same as those of ordinary people.

Most people think that singing skills refer to singing well after practice. In fact, top singers can sing well in their teens. At that time, most of them have never learned to sing seriously. It is completely natural.

Li Xiang asked: "Teacher Han Shi is also a top singer of Tianxia. May I ask, what is your singing score?"

Han Shi had not thought much about this question. After a brief thought, he said:

"When I was young, I could probably compete with the people in the cocoon, but now my function has declined, and I guess I can only get a score of more than 90."

Han Shi is a member of the national team and a national treasure singer. He compares himself with the person in the cocoon, which is undoubtedly a very high evaluation.

Li Xiang: "Teacher Han Shi is too modest."

Han Shi: "I'm not being modest. The person in the cocoon is indeed at this level. When you listen to her singing, you will clearly have a thought that no one can beat her singing voice. She will not lose to anyone, but——"

'But' is late but arrived.

The audience listened to his analysis attentively.

Han Shi: "Li Huowang's singing is perfect above perfection, the ceiling above the ceiling! I can sit back and watch "Sadly", "The Wind Rises", and "Flowers". These three songs are very good, but they can only produce one every one or two years. However, the song "Kill That Zhending Man" is a top-level work that can be written into the history of Tianxia rock. Don't say that you can produce one every ten years. If you are unlucky, you may not produce one for decades."

Li Xiang doesn't understand music, so he asked the audience's questions:

"When I listened to this song, I did think it was nice, but is it really that good? Is it too exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all!" Han Shi said excitedly.

In fact, the more people understand music, the more awesome this song is.

According to rumors, in an interview, Li Zongsheng once said: There must be foreign musicians helping in the Universal Youth Hostel. The implication is that no one in China can write such great music. Li Zongsheng can't write it, and other Chinese people have no chance of writing it.

Han Shidao: "Let's analyze it from the arrangement first. Every second is enjoyable. The chords of the mandolin are broken down first, and the kazoo is slowly added. After 1 minute and 28 seconds, the cello and triangle are added, which are subtle but not overwhelming. At 1 minute and 47 seconds, the rapid sound of the cello bow rubbing against the strings is added, and at 2 minutes and 27 seconds, the...
In general, the arrangement of this song is diverse but not complicated, the various instruments are in order and know what they are doing, and each lick adds points to the song, such as the electric guitar background in the last chorus, which does not feel abrupt, and the cello added at the end once again pushes the song to a climax, which is very gorgeous. "

He continued, "From the perspective of lyrics, many songs nowadays are written to fit the public's heart, which is commonly known as the "tickling" style of writing. They write about the things that everyone has in their hearts. Although everyone has different ticklish spots, most of them cannot escape love and life insights. The song "Kill That Zhending Man" peels off the layers of shells and writes about the unique sense of desolation or powerlessness of being a Tianxia person under the great changes of the times."

Finally, he concluded:
"This song has been pondered and considered over and over again by people in the industry. I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for it."

Han Shi's evaluation of the person in the cocoon was "When I was young, I could probably compete with her", but his evaluation of Cheng Cheng was "admiration and gratitude", and the difference in status was immediately apparent.

Li Xiang: "Where is Teacher Zhang Qingfei?"

Zhang Qingfei said: "Teacher Han Shi has analyzed this song very thoroughly. I would like to analyze Li Huowang's singing skills. I found that Li Huowang's progress is terrifying."

Li Xiang: "Oh, how do you put it?"

Zhang Qingfei said: "Before, Li Huowang's voice change point was very obvious, probably around F4, but in this song, his voice change point is almost completely inaudible. Either he is improving, or he was hiding his strength before."

As mentioned above, to put it simply, the voice transition point is a "bump" in vocal discomfort that occurs when a singer transitions from the middle to high pitch range.

The worse the singing skills of the singer, the clearer this bump can be heard. The better the singing skills of the singer, the smoother this bump is polished, and in the end it is almost inaudible.

It can only be said that Cheng Cheng's previous singing skills of 92 points were still flawed, especially on such a competitive stage, but now with Vitas' vocal conditions, his talent has reached a once-in-a-century level.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhang Qingfei to hear his voice changes again.

His voice change point is estimated to be around C5-D5, and it is also very smooth.

Vitas' currently known vocal range is E2-G6, which is an extremely exaggerated level, covering almost all the notes of bass, baritone and tenor, and this is what is known so far. Since Vitas has not participated in any competitions, maybe he can sing higher.

All of these will need to be explored by Cheng Cheng in the future.

Although he has acquired Vitas' vocal conditions, it takes time to develop and master them.

After Zhang Qingfei finished his speech, Li Xiang invited He Zhiyuan, Jiang Nan, Song Yiyun and others to analyze, and finally came to the personal skills display session.

Everyone stretched their necks, looking forward to this segment, wanting to see what other fantastic performances Li Huowang would bring.

After the foreshadowing in the previous episode, Li Huowang's magic has become a regular part of "King of Masked Singer".

The staff brought Cheng Cheng a deck of cards. Cheng Cheng randomly drew a card, turned the card's back to the audience, raised it high, and pointed at Jiang Nan in the audience, asking confidently:

"When is your birthday?"

Jiang Nan was confused. Why is it me again?
She replied reluctantly, "Number 14."

Cheng Cheng confidently showed the card he had drawn earlier to everyone.

Jiang Nan was confused: "But you got 9!"

Cheng Cheng turned over and took a look at himself, then asked:

"9+5 is 14, right?"

Jiang Nan was choked: "9+5 equals 14, that's right, but——"

Cheng Cheng interrupted her directly: "You know nothing about magic."

Then, he drew another card and pointed it at Han Shi: "What day is it today?"

Han Shi looked doubtful: "Number 6."

Cheng Cheng flipped his hand and showed an 8, took a look at it, and then said, "Then 8 minus 2 equals 6."

After saying this, he returned the cards to the staff, bowed as if he had completed a grand performance, and retreated to Li Xiang's side, nodded slightly to him, and said:

"I've finished my performance."

Seeing his arrogant look, Jiang Nan was so angry that he wanted to slam the table:

You tell me this is magic?
The audience in the audience also twitched their lips.

Even though they had prepared themselves mentally, they were still amused by Cheng Cheng's magic. If I'm not mistaken, your magic should be called mathematics, right?

And it’s not very advanced mathematics, only addition and subtraction are used.

Li Lin said:
“Haha, this is a very interesting comedy show.”

Cheng Cheng corrected him seriously: "This is a magic show, not a comedy show."

Li Lin: I was just trying to smooth things over for you!
This guy is really stubborn!
The audiences were almost laughing crazy, hahahahahahaha, Li Huowang is really a lunatic, a comedian!

The funniest thing is not his performance, but his sense of belief. He didn't learn much magic, but he learned the magician's confidence 100%.

After the cocoon man finished his performance, Li Xiang couldn't help laughing and said:

"Okay, the result of the second generation of the mysterious music show, King of Masked Singer, is in my hands. Who will the judges and the audience support more without prejudice? The second generation of King of Masked Singer is now revealed!"

The results are announced.

As expected, Cheng Cheng won the title of King of Singers again.

Even the person in the cocoon did not feel any surprise at this result, as if she had already determined this result.

Li Xiang: "Li Huowang who loves flying kites has won. He is the second generation king of singers, Li Huowang. He won by a large margin of 190 to 102. Li Huowang has ascended the throne again. Please give him a round of applause!"

The audience cheered and applauded.

Li Lin stretched out his hands: "Worship, Li Huowang!"

Han Shi: “I’ve already guessed it.”

Zhang Qingfei: "This song is so good. He is invincible on this stage."

Qiu Dagui: "It's a pity for people in the cocoon. With technology already catching up, the gap between singer-songwriters and non-singer-songwriters is too big."

Afterwards, Cheng Cheng, wearing a golden mask and a cape, walked around the venue and returned to the throne. Li Xiang then returned to the stage with the spider web and his inflamed nose.

Li Xiang: "Now please make a decision. Do you want to take off your mask and quit the Masked Singer stage, or do you want to start from the beginning and participate in the third episode? Please make your choice!"

Looking at the invincible Cheng Cheng, the man in the cocoon was excited and said firmly:
"I choose the third recording."

Even if she keeps losing, as long as there is a one in ten thousand chance of winning, she will stay on this stage!

Later, Spider Web and Rhinitis also made their choice and chose to stay.

This is actually a very simple multiple-choice question.

Since you have to take off your mask anyway, you might as well stay on the stage for a few more shows. The longer you stay, the greater the profit.

Afterwards, the second episode of "King of Masked Singer" was finished, and the audience who left the show excitedly discussed every detail of the recording.

Soon, on Friday, May 5, the second episode of "King of Masked Singer" was aired.

Compared to the premiere, only one episode was aired this time, but despite this, it was still very exciting, whether it was the three new masked singers or the people whose identities were revealed, they were all full of highlights.

Especially at the end of the second episode, after the man in the cocoon won, the look he looked up at Li Huowang was full of a sense of fate and confrontation, and full of dramatic tension.

At that moment, their eyes met, as if it was a silent conversation.

"So fucking handsome!"

"This glance is absolutely amazing! It gives me a sense of déjà vu of a confrontation between man and god! The man in the cocoon rises from the bottom up, bringing with him an invincible victory; Li Huowang sits on the throne, glancing down with contempt, full of the ruthlessness of a king. Ahhhhh, this is so fucking shocking!"

"What is a hot-blooded manga?! King of Masked Singer is a real hot-blooded manga! It makes my blood boil!"

"With just this one shot, you will never be able to learn the Infinite Voice in your lifetime!"

"The second episode should be finished, right? Did the Cocoon Man successfully challenge Li Huowang? Who is the second generation singing king?"

"Rhinitis and Spider Web are very strong, but they are still inferior to the Man in the Cocoon. If nothing unexpected happens, the Man in the Cocoon should challenge Li Huowang, but I don't know who will win. It doesn't matter who wins, they are both powerful."

“I’m really looking forward to the second episode!”

"This episode is really great. I didn't expect Ajiu to be Meilang. No wonder he is so strong!"

"Mei Lang is old, otherwise he wouldn't have lost. Oh, I really feel sorry for him. He was scolded by that woman back then, and he wasted such precious time."

"To put it simply, a non-professional earned money and fame that the professionals were jealous of, and then began to exclude and suppress them. It turned out that it was driven by the general trend, and then they pretended that nothing had happened and lived their lives with a clear conscience."

"This is the arrogance of the elites, looking down on the lower classes and desperately trying to control the right to interpret culture."

"In fact, Meilang is really amazing. He integrated folk music into pop music, and the public can sing and remember the tunes. After all, the public is not like some music professors who don't appreciate highbrow music."

"Lu Meng is also amazing. I didn't expect that she is such a good actress and singer. I'm a huge fan of her."

"."

After the second episode of "King of Masked Singer" was aired, it triggered a series of chain reactions. Countless netizens who grew up listening to Mei Lang's songs began to vindicate Mei Lang. The comment section of those people who had scolded Mei Lang in the past was flooded with hundreds of thousands of insults.

This undoubtedly once again proves the terrifying influence of "The Masked Singer".

However, this is of no use at all. What Meilang has suffered in the past cannot be rewritten, and those who once criticized Meilang will not be substantially affected. It will all be over after a while, and they will continue to go on the show and make money.

It was just netizens expressing their own sense of justice.

On Monday, May 5, the ratings were announced again.

NO1: "King of Masked Singer" average ratings 2.61%! Peak ratings 3.11%!

NO2: "Infinite Voice" average ratings 1.31%! Peak ratings 1.77%!

NO3: The average rating of "The Journey of Music" is 1.02%! The peak rating is 1.21%!

Except for "King of Masked Singer", the ratings of "Infinite Voice" and "La La Music" have declined. "King of Masked Singer" has become the real number one, and "Infinite Voice" and "La La Music" have completely lost the qualifications to compete with it.

The only suspense at the moment is whether the average viewership ratings of "King of Masked Singer" can exceed 4 after it is broadcast!

Judging from the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that the average viewership will break 3, but whether it can break 4 is still unknown.

On Thursday, May 5, the day before the second episode of "King of Masked Singer" was updated, Cheng Cheng left the editing room where he had lived for more than a month, dressed up and went out.

Today is Jiang Nan's birthday, and he wants to celebrate it with his good-looking brother.
