Chapter 59: The chance of winning is 90%, or is it a conservative estimate?
"Teacher Xu Kong, the rehearsal time for our opening performance guests is around ten o'clock."
Because Xu Kong was the opening guest, the combined rehearsal time for Xu Kong and the other two same guests was only a little over two hours.
You still need to get up early, and rehearsals have to start around eight o'clock.
Of course, this is understandable.
Compared with other contestants who need to participate, they do not need to participate in the final media review and voting, there is not so much pressure, and they can just treat it as an ordinary performance.
Most of the rehearsal time still needs to be given to Su Zhi and other participating singers.
"There's nothing wrong with me here."
Xu Kong answered.
Because he had performed three times at the Mint Music Festival some time ago, this was not the first time he sang, and Xu Kong performed with ease.
"Don't you go and see Su Zhi?"
During the break, Guo Zihao looked at Xu Kong with some curiosity and asked.
Just now, Su Zhi, as a participating singer, had arrived at the rehearsal.
"Why should I go to see her?"
Xu Kong's expression looked natural, not like he was pretending.
Guo Zihao couldn't help but fall into doubt. Did he really misunderstand the two of them?
But what he didn't know was that it wasn't that Xu Kong didn't want to go, but that Su Zhi seemed very stressed after he sent the new song to the other party.
I haven't even messaged him in the past few days.
He is probably concentrating on preparing for this final stage.
Xu Kong also knew that the song this time was quite difficult, and since it was still the final stage, there was no need to disturb Su Zhi.
This time the "Singer" finals invited guests to be the opening performers, in addition to Xu Kong. The other two are both seniors who have been famous in the Chinese music scene for a long time.
There is Guan Ju, who has won the title of King of Singers, and Yu Yinglin, who worked behind the scenes as a producer until he was 30, and later became an independent musician and became an instant hit.
No matter how powerful these two people are, their status in the Chinese music scene is obviously not comparable to that of Xu Kong.
If Xu Kong hadn't produced several hit singles during this period, he would have been scolded just by the news that he was the opening guest.
However, it can be seen from this lineup that Wu Youxue and the "Singer" program team intend to build momentum and rectify his reputation.
After this time, at least Xu Kong's identity is no longer just a traffic star.
The identity of the singer will be recognized by the public.
I just don’t know what Wu Youxue’s purpose is. Although I haven’t said it yet, Xu Kong knows that he owes him a not insignificant favor.
"Thank you for your hard work, teachers!"
Wu Youxue was not present at the rehearsal. He was the assistant director of "Singer".
A young man who looked to be no more than thirty years old.
After the rehearsal time for Xu Kong and the others ended, he politely invited them to have lunch at the rehearsal site.
However, the time was not yet ten o'clock, and it was not time for lunch, so Xu Kong declined and returned to the hotel.
"Do you think Su Zhi can win the championship?"
On the way, Guo Zihao, who was a little bored, asked.
"A conservative estimate."
"Ninety percent."
Guo Zihao reacted for a while, then showed a shocked expression.
"90% chance of winning? This is still a conservative estimate"
Brother, even though I know that you and Su Zhi have a good relationship, you won’t just open your mouth to come. Guo Zihao is relatively familiar with the singers on the "Singer" program. After the eliminations in the previous episodes, almost all of the singers who can remain on the stage are capable singers.
Even though Su Zhi is a diva, she is not a favorite to win the championship.
Currently, everyone on the Internet predicts that in addition to the two European and American singers, the person with the highest probability of winning the championship is Guan Yan of the national team.
As for Su Zhi, the probability of winning the championship is further down the list.
"It has nothing to do with Su Zhi."
Xu Kong replied lightly.
"If there are no mistakes, there is really no big problem with the song I wrote for her this time winning the championship."
Guo Zihao:?
He originally thought that Xu Kong was in love with Wujiwu, and because of his good relationship with Su Zhi, he mentioned the probability just now.
It turns out that this guy was secretly praising himself? ! !
The day passed quickly. Xu Kong rehearsed in the morning and had nothing to do in the afternoon and evening. He simply stayed in the hotel to rest.
On the day of the "Singer" finals, although there were still seven or eight hours before the official live broadcast started.
But at this time, the discussion on the Internet has already begun.
"I feel that in the finals, the two European and American singers have the highest chance of winning."
"I don't think it matters anymore. After watching so many episodes, I actually found that William and Avril Lavigne are indeed very strong, and there is no problem in winning the championship."
"The singers in this finals are not weak, and they all have the possibility of winning. It depends on everyone's performance on the spot."
"Don't deliberately deify the two European and American singers. They didn't make any mistakes in their previous competitions. It's just that in comparison, our domestic singers are indeed under much greater pressure and are prone to mistakes."
An hour before the recording officially started, Xu Kong went to see Su Zhi.
It's still Sikong Zai's recording. This time, this man with long hair and who looks like an artist has a 180-degree change in his attitude towards Xu Kong.
"I listened to a few of your new songs some time ago, and they were enough to shock me."
"I didn't expect that I would prepare something for Su Zhi this time."
Su Zhi, who seemed to know that Sikong Zai was too excited and would probably not be able to stop once he spoke, quickly interrupted him.
"I'll sing it again first."
After a while, Su Zhi walked out of the recording studio.
"What do you think?"
Su Zhi ignored Sikong Zai who was full of admiration and turned to look at Xu Kong.
"No big deal."
"But you don't have to be so demanding on details. This song requires more emotional investment than technical aspects."
The reason Xu Kong was called over by Su Zhi was actually to let Xu Kong make some more targeted comments before going on stage.
After all, the song was written by Xu Kong, and the song "As Long as I Have You" that they collaborated with before proves that Xu Kong has his own unique understanding and thoughts on the song.
There is nothing wrong with Su Zhi's singing skills, which Xu Kong has no doubt about.
And for this song this time, as long as the other party is invested in it, some mistakes in details will not hurt.
After listening to Xu Kong's words, Su Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
After trying to sing twice more, Xu Kong could tell that she was indeed a little nervous, but she was still in pretty good condition.
There should be no problem.
Then the two of them took a bus together to the live broadcast of the "Singer" finals.
