Chapter 89 "Qili Xiang"
As the last one to appear, Xu Kong watched all the performances of the other four in the backstage lounge.
When Wu Youxue talked to them about the selection criteria for this show, he mentioned "the group of young singers with the greatest domestic entertainment potential at present."
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now it seems that Wu Youxue's vision in selecting people is indeed quite unique.
Even Bai Ran, who seems to be his little fan, is definitely qualified to become a big hit in the future.
Creative singers have a natural advantage over ordinary singers.
Because you can write songs for yourself based entirely on your own voice characteristics and personal advantages.
Of course, this premise is that the creative ability must be sufficient.
What I have to mention is that the other four people on this show, except him, obviously have this ability.
Judging from Xu Kong's many years of experience in this industry, the two songs Bai Ran and Rong Xiabing just sang have the qualifications to become hit singles.
"I am a popular celebrity, how can I compete with these talented young musicians?"
If it were in his previous life, Xu Kong would have completely resigned himself to such a situation.
But right now, I really don’t have much to worry about.
The main thing is, you may all be geniuses, but you guys are cheating!
When Rong Xiabing finished passing the backstage waiting area, he glanced at Xu Kong provocatively.
The ridicule and contempt in his eyes are visible to the naked eye.
"How did I offend this little girl?"
Xu Kong was speechless.
At this time, no camera was filming here. What is certain is that Rong Xiabing's disgust for him comes from the heart and is not what the program team calls a script.
However, Xu Kong didn't pay too much attention. After sorting out his clothes, he walked onto the stage leisurely.
"It's Xu Kong, I don't know what style his new song will be this time."
"I feel that if it were a pop rock song like "LsatDance", the number of votes would probably not be low."
"I also think it will probably be a similar style to Xu Kong's previous popular songs. After all, this is his comfort zone."
Fat Bird ignored the quiet discussions around him and stared at Xu Kong on the stage seriously.
His original intention was not to let Xu Kong "fall off the altar". After blowing Xu Kong so many times in a row, he had long been bound to him.
Before coming, he even directly and publicly stated that Xu Kong would definitely win the championship in this show.
At this time, as the lights on the stage changed, the prelude of the song started.
"The sound of wind and wind chimes?"
Fat Bird was a little surprised. Although Xu Kong had not officially started singing yet, this very distinctive prelude immediately cheered up everyone present.
""Qilixiang""
"Singing: Xu Kong"
"Lyrics: Xu Kong"
"Composer: Xu Kong"
The name and information of the song appeared on the big screen behind Xu Kong.
At the same time, the intro suddenly changes, and guitar and piano sound.
"The sparrow outside the window is talkative on the telephone pole"
"When you say this, it feels like summer"
"The pencil in my hand goes back and forth on the paper"
"I use a few lines to describe who you are to me"
Although Xu Kong only sang the first verse of the entire song, Fat Bird felt amazing.
Also writing songs about summer, Rong Xiabing, who had received the highest number of votes during her previous appearance, is obviously the best at writing songs with the theme of "summer".
You can see it from the song "Summer Fantasy" composed by the other party in high school to the song "Cicada" just now.
Although the theme is similar, and even the style is similar, the writing is good, the song itself is good, and there is nothing wrong with it being popular all over the world. The 92 votes are enough to speak for itself.
But when it comes to Xu Kong, I don't know if I have a preference for Xu Kong. I really feel that just when the prelude sounds, I feel like I am judging the superior. The sampling of wind sounds and the sound of wind chimes created by the vibrator immediately give people a clear sense of openness and freshness blown by the wind. The refreshing coolness of summer is perfectly highlighted in the prelude.
Compared to the song Rong Xia Bing just played, the large number of strings in the arrangement immediately made Rong Xia Bing's song look a bit petty.
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain"
"The fallen leaves in the yard are filled with my thoughts"
"A few words of right and wrong can't cool down my enthusiasm"
"You appear on every page of my poems"
By the chorus, Xu Kong on the stage had completely entered the state.
This song can be regarded as the song he sang the most in his previous life, and it can be said that his performance on the spot was his most perfect performance since time travel.
Among the media judges and general audiences in the audience, when the chorus melody sounded, many people felt goosebumps rising on their bodies.
"Write loving you forever at the end of the poem"
"You are the only one I want to know"
The first half of the song ends with a magnificent interlude that is even more gorgeous than the intro.
It pushed the atmosphere of the whole song to another climax.
“This arrangement is awesome!!!”
Some of the more knowledgeable music critics couldn't help but shout.
"The lyrics are also well written, like poetry."
"The melody is also very spiritual and has a natural feeling."
The audience and media judges at the scene were completely absorbed into the atmosphere of the entire song.
This is also thanks to the good performance of the previous players. The audience's interest and the scene were just right.
Xu Kong's song "Qili Xiang" pushed the atmosphere of the performance to the highest point.
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain"
"The fallen leaves in the yard are filled with my thoughts"
In the second verse of the song, Xu Kong's tone was a little higher again.
If it were in his own live broadcast room, Fat Bird might have started to go "crazy" at this time.
This song really made him feel like he was having an orgasm.
From the stunning intro to the modern poetry-like lyrics, coupled with the almost perfect melody, it can definitely be called a masterpiece.
The key is the style, which is completely different from some of Xu Kong's previous songs, and also different from what many music critics speculated before Xu Kong's debut.
All are surprises.
"Butterflies on the windowsill are like beautiful chapters flying in a poem"
"I will continue writing and put my eternal love for you at the end of the poem"
"You are the only one I want to know"
After singing the last line, Xu Kong on the stage breathed a sigh of relief.
There were no mistakes, a nearly perfect performance.
Although the song itself is not very difficult, after all, it is the world's premiere stage for Xu Kong to sing such a classic song, which still puts a lot of pressure on him.
The expression on Fat Bird's face was quite excited at this time.
Before the show started, everyone felt that Xu Kong was the favorite to win the championship.
But on the premise that the first four people performed quite well, many people, including Fat Bird, were worried that Xu Kong would overturn or even lose the votes.
It wasn't until the end of Xu Kong's performance that I suddenly realized that even though these other new singer-songwriters were not weak, and could even be said to be very talented singer-songwriters, compared with Xu Kong, they were still very intuitively dimensionally reduced. blow.
This song "Qili Xiang" was so stunning that the audience completely forgot about the performance of the previous contestants.
