Chapter 23 The darkest moment of the Chinese music scene
“Yuanhong Band’s final number of votes was 76!”
The results came out, and as expected, Yuanhong Band became the last among the three singers.
"Why do I feel like something is wrong if this continues? The number one spot in this first issue is going to be taken away by a European and American singer."
"Don't feel too bad. There is a high probability that Avril Lavigne will be the first one to appear. Her performance was perfect."
"Why are you starting to gain the prestige of others? Don't worry, aren't there still the little singers like King Tao Ge and Su Zhi behind you?"
"It is indeed possible for Tao Zidan to win back a victory, but Su Zhi is probably too young because of her age and experience. And don't forget, William hasn't even played yet!"
The "Singer" program was only halfway through, and the barrage was already making a huge noise.
No way, the singers this season are slightly different. The live broadcast format has brought much more popularity than before. With the participation of two well-known European and American singers, there are too many places that can easily cause controversy.
Most people think that regardless of which country a singer is from, their ability is respected, and if they lose, they lose, and there is nothing to say.
Some other netizens were unwilling to accept the variety show hosted by them. In the first episode, a foreign singer took first place.
But everything was fine at the moment. At least everyone felt that Tao Zidan was capable of regaining his place.
What happened next was the real bad news.
The fourth person to appear is European and American singer William.
The good news is that William himself did not choose a competitive song, but a very orthodox country song.
The bad news is that William's performance was almost impeccable, another near-perfect performance.
With just a simple guitar soundtrack, the audience at the scene and in front of the screen were completely immersed in it.
The singing of the song is not very difficult, but William's own stage performance is quite charming. The singer devotes himself wholeheartedly. In this state, the stage is almost full of appeal.
"91 votes."
Second only to Avril Lavigne, who appeared first, but also successfully reached the 90 mark.
“It’s hard to imagine the popularity of the show not being high now.”
“As expected of a mango”
Guo Zihao couldn't help but sigh.
As a celebrity agent, he is much more sensitive to public opinion than ordinary people.
He can almost guess how big a storm of public opinion will be on the Internet when the first episode of "Singer" is finished.
"Is the number of votes high? I feel like the program team is deliberately controlling the number of votes."
"Everyone who is a conspiracy theorist, please stop. Isn't the whole voting process real-name? And honestly speaking, isn't William's performance just now worthy of such votes?"
"I think Mango is planning to completely tear off the fig leaf of the domestic music scene. I can only say that they have done a good job."
"Strictly speaking, Avril Lavigne and William are not considered the top singers in Europe and the United States. Are our domestic singers really not even capable of competing?"
"Don't worry, everyone! Tao Zidan will be next. It's too early to draw conclusions at the moment!"
After William's votes came out, the barrage discussion became more and more heated.
Even Guo Zihao became a little nervous.
"Why do I feel something is wrong!"
"If according to the current public opinion, two European and American singers really take the top two spots, then the other domestic singers on the show, including Su Zhi, will probably be roasted on the fire."
Guo Zihao's speculation is not unreasonable.
Of course, what he was most worried about was affecting Xu Kong.
After all, he already knew in advance that the new song Su Zhi was going to sing on the show this time was written by Xu Kong.
If the number of votes is too low, it will definitely be implicated.
Before, Guo Zihao just thought that Xu Kong would be criticized by Su Zhi's own fans.
But with the current situation, those who will join the public opinion crusade are definitely not just Su Zhi's fans, but also many passers-by.
"It's still early. You don't need to be nervous when watching a show."
On the contrary, Xu Kong behaved calmly.
Strictly speaking, if Su Zhi can really perform well, Xu Kong doesn't think that the song he wrote for the other party will have more votes than Avril and William.
When he first wrote that song, Xu Kong was still a little hesitant.
At first I just wanted to do it perfunctory, but after listening to some of Su Zhi's previous songs and thinking about what I did to Su Zhi in the hotel room, I sent it to her anyway. Just consider it a small compensation.
Bad news comes one after another, and Murphy's Law does not disappoint.
Many viewers are worried whether Tao Zidan, the singing king, will make mistakes like Guan Yan before.
The final result was that although Tao Zidan made no mistakes, his performance on the spot can only be described in one word.
There were no mistakes, because almost the entire performance was a complete disaster, and it cannot be described as just mistakes.
"Why is Tao Zidan's voice so bad now?"
"I wonder if his song is not difficult, but is it so difficult to sing?"
"I can no longer sing high notes, and I have deliberately avoided singing my past few songs that were too difficult in high notes. It's still the same"
"It's too bad, even worse than the previous lead singer of Yuanhong Band."
During Tao Zidan's singing, the barrage completely shattered the filter on this former king of singers who had many glorious moments.
Xu Kong was also a little surprised. In the memory of the original owner, although Tao Zidan sang pop songs most of the time, his singing skills had always been praised in various ways, especially his shocking high notes.
I didn't expect it to turn out like this now.
Moreover, he was not unfamiliar with Tao Zidan's voice problem at this time, he was too familiar with it.
He was like this in his last life.
Due to various irregular schedules, bad habits of drinking and smoking, by the time I realized what was happening, my throat was completely broken.
This is also the reason why Xu Kong had to give up his original plan of becoming a singer and started acting instead.
Tao Zidan's throat problem is definitely not as serious as in his last life.
But in the same way, Tao Zidan does not rely on his reputation to make a living. For such a powerful singer, if he has a problem with his voice, it almost means that more than half of his career is over.
In the future, whether it is various evening performances or music festivals, I can only say goodbye to the open mic and become a complete studio singer.
"Singer Tao Zidan, the final number of votes was .79."
When the results came out, many viewers felt quite sad.
Xu Kong also didn't understand. If he were Tao Zidan and knew his situation, he would definitely not accept the invitation from the "Singer" program team.
After all, even if it is a concert, various music festivals and performances, you can still choose to half-open the mic or lip-sync to fool them.
Now that the problem with my throat has been completely exposed, there is no room for maneuver.
Two seniors in the music industry who originally had great hopes were placed on them. At this time, one made an undue mistake and the other completely fell from the altar.
Many viewers have been completely disappointed.
At this time, the only ones left are Yu Huai, a little transparent person in the music world, and Su Zhi, the youngest diva in China.
It is not impossible for the two of them to surpass Avril and William in front of them on stage, but it is really difficult.
It feels like "you go and get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples·jpg".
Yu Huai made his sixth appearance and sang his own song.
It is an R&B type song, and its performance is quite stable. There are no big mistakes. Of course, it is not too eye-catching.
In the end, I got 82 votes, which was the best result except for the two European and American singers.
Tao Zidan had just finished his performance earlier, so everyone was quite tolerant of Yu Huai.
At least for a newcomer in the music scene, he performed very well.
"The darkest moment of the Chinese music scene"
"Alas, now the fig leaf of the domestic music scene has been completely torn off."
"What are these domestic singers doing?"
Many viewers watching the live broadcast felt a little uncomfortable. After a little comparison, is the gap that big?
What's more, among the singers in this issue, Tao Zidan and Guan Yan are already among the top singers in the country. ”
And just when the barrage was sighing, Su Zhi, who was the last to appear, walked onto the stage.
She was wearing a black evening dress today, paired with her neat short hair, which was quite eye-catching.
As the lights dimmed, a soft piano played.
