Chapter 126 "The Ordinary Road"
“This guy’s new song is good, it’s pretty good.”
"Although the style is not my favorite, the lyrics feel quite touching."
"It sounds good. Although there are many people who play chuanzi and rhythm, don't tell me. It's still not easy for Xu Kong to win the championship of this show."
Bai Ran is still good at writing lyrics in a narrative style.
But compared to the song on the other party's previous show, this one is obviously more sophisticated in terms of melody and arrangement.
Especially the chorus part is quite memorable.
Regardless of the final result, Bai Ran's song is expected to remain popular.
The only thing that made Fat Bird feel a little pity was that Bai Ran had very little stage experience. This was his first time on a variety show and his first time performing on such a big stage.
What's more, the final itself is still in the form of live broadcast.
There were a few minor mistakes along the way, although they may not have affected the viewing experience at the scene.
But during the live broadcast, it became more obvious.
"It's a pity, there are still mistakes."
"As a newcomer, this performance is already very good."
"It's okay, as long as the song is good. Anyway, I will definitely add this song to the playlist when the time comes."
Although there were mistakes, Bai Ran, as the first contestant to perform, was recognized by most of the barrage experts in the live broadcast room.
Everyone is very tolerant of a newcomer.
Of course, if Xu Kong, who was in the spotlight, made such a mistake, this would not be the result.
"Is the second one Chu Shi?"
"He seems to have been shortlisted for the best new artist at the music festival this year, right? But there are just no shots."
"Normally, the Best Newcomer Award does not attract much attention. Do you really think that everyone is a pervert like Xu Kong, who can win the Best Newcomer and the Best Male Singer of the Year at the same time?"
"Stop bragging about Xu Kong. Without his background and capital, he is nothing!"
The barrage became noisy again.
However, it did not affect Chu Shi, who was already on stage preparing to perform.
Fat Bird originally thought that Chu Shi would also be affected since Xu Kong was hit by dimensionality reduction in the genre he was best at in the last issue.
But he didn't expect that he only guessed half right this time.
Chu Shi was indeed affected, but unlike Yu Huai before, he became more and more courageous.
This new song is unexpectedly good, and the style also breaks away from the original habit of writing bitter love songs.
Coupled with the stable scene, it was really difficult to tell which one performed better, the other party or Bai Ran, who was the first to appear.
"It's the finals and I'm starting to work hard. It can be seen that the two songs by Chu Shi and Bai Ran were specially prepared for the finals."
"It's a pity. If Xu Kong had kept the first issue of "Qili Xiang" until now, there wouldn't be much risk. Now, it's hard to say who will win in the end."
"Are all the new singers on this show so good? I feel like the quality of the first two new songs is surprisingly good."
Audiences who have been following this variety show until the finals are familiar with the contestants' styles and other aspects.
But some people who came to join in the fun just because of Xu Kong's recent rhythm slowly calmed down and started watching the show.
The final is a live broadcast, almost the entire process is a performance, and there is no long variety show part.
The quality of the performance is high enough that it will have no problem gradually attracting the attention of most people.
There was a brief truce in the barrage, but it was no longer as noisy and intense as before.
Everyone's discussion point was focused on the performances of Bai Ran and Chu Shi.
At this time, Xu Kong, who was backstage, was quite emotional after watching Chu Shi's performance.
Although this person is a bit out of character, he somehow regards himself as an imaginary enemy.
But I have to say that my mental endurance is still very strong.
The new song stage this time is even better than the previous one.
Compared with Yu Huai, who had completely lost confidence after being hit by Xu Kong before, the gap between the two was even more obvious.
Compared with this kind of newcomer who doesn't focus on music and likes to delve into the world of people, Chu Shi's upper limit will definitely be higher in the future.
Chu Shi's performance ended, followed by Rong Xiabing, the only female singer on the final stage.
This version of T0 did not meet Xu Kong in this final because the lounges were separated.
Soon, Rong Xiabing's performance also began.
It can be seen that the opponent is obviously prepared for this final.
Although the style of this new song is still the same, the arrangement and melody style have changed a lot. It is obvious that the comments on the Internet are still pursuing innovation and change.
But the number of viewers who can hear it is probably relatively small.
From this moment, most of the viewers who didn't really buy it could notice something.
"Elements that will always appear in Rongxia Bingge: summer, seaside, small town."
"It's the same thing again. I feel like she hasn't made much progress since she won the Best Newcomer Award last year."
"When you first listen to Rong Xiabing's songs, you will be really surprised. But after listening to so many songs, I feel like I can only remember one, or in other words, every one of her songs is almost the same."
< br>
Fat Bird also discovered that the quality of Rong Xiabing's song in the final was obviously the best since she came on this show.
Moreover, the arrangement and melody have also changed slightly from the previous style.
It's just that this change is not obvious. Media judges and professional musicians can hear it, but ordinary viewers will probably feel that there is not much change.
The only comment Fat Bird gave to the other party was that he tried his best.
After all, Rong Xiabing's threshold is very high. The first song he wrote in high school became popular all over the Internet, and he even won the best new artist when he debuted later.
But that popular style has now become something that limits the opponent's development.
In fact, overall it is a pretty good stage, but compared with Bai Ran and Chu Shi in front of it, it still lacks some surprises.
At least here at Fat Bird, his three tickets no longer have a quota for Rong Xiabing.
Before the fourth Wenren Chuncheng came on stage, Xu Kong had already left the lounge and came to the waiting area to wait.
For Wenren Chuncheng, a short video singer, Fat Bird himself has changed the most.
After listening to the other party’s popular songs in short videos, as well as various DJ versions, and then listening to the few high-quality pop rock songs written on this show, no one will probably think that this is the work of one person.
Apart from Bai Ran, who has gained millions of followers from being a newcomer, the one who probably benefited the most from participating in the show this time is Wenren Chuncheng.
Through his subsequent performance on this show, the other party will be able to integrate into the mainstream music circle.
At the very least, I won’t be ridiculed by so many netizens anymore for writing songs that are all earthy songs.
But this time, Wenren Chuncheng still sang a new song in the pop rock genre.
And the quality is much higher than what he had on previous shows.
"The final was really a fight between gods, even Wenren Chuncheng didn't pretend anymore."
"This song is really good, and Wenren Chuncheng's live performance is also quite solid."
"It is obviously a song specially prepared for the finals. Although the chance of winning is low, after this program, Wenren Chuncheng's image will probably completely change."
The current situation is indeed not optimistic for Xu Kong.
Wenren Chuncheng's performance had just ended, and Fat Bird couldn't help but think about it.
Among the four people who have performed on stage so far, except for Rong Xiabing, who may have been a bit uninterested, the performance of the others can be said to be surprising enough.
And compared with previous shows, almost everyone contributed their best stage to this show.
It can be seen that several songs have been polished for a long time and were prepared for this final.
For Xu Kong, it was so menacing that it was difficult to deal with it.
The key is the poor number of votes in the first round, which puts Xu Kong in a completely passive situation.
If you cannot achieve a large vote advantage, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win the final championship. While Fat Bird was thinking about this, Xu Kong had already stepped onto the stage.
There were huge cheers and screams.
No matter what, Xu Kong is still the most popular and popular contestant on this show, and he is also the one who leads the way.
It can be said that no matter what the purpose is, more than 70% of those who came to watch this final came for Xu Kong's performance.
Of course, in sharp contrast to such a high popularity at the scene was the barrage in the live broadcast room at this time.
"Resist the empty capital, the Chinese music scene does not need such connections."
"I wonder how Xu Kong will win this time. The script prepared by Mango is not very good. I probably didn't expect the previous players to perform so well?"
"I don't know what type of Xu Kong's new song this time is. It's time, so don't stretch your hips!"
Even Xu Kong's fans or some sensible passers-by were a little worried about Xu Kong at this time.
Mainly due to the various rhythms of the outside world this time, coupled with the high attention paid to the "Our Song" finals.
If he fails to perform well in this performance, the popularity and reputation gained through his works in the past six months, including those honors and awards, will be eaten back at an extremely fast speed.
Although it will not shake the basic fans and passers-by, it is estimated that it will be really difficult to get rid of the impact of this incident in a short time.
Xu Kong walked onto the stage carrying a guitar.
After adjusting the height of the microphone, he glanced in the direction of the band.
The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and what followed was a distorted guitar intro.
The name of the song appeared on the screen behind Xu Kong's stage.
""The Ordinary Road""
"Lyrics: Xu Kong"
"Composer: Xu Kong"
"Singing: Xu Kong"
Nearly ten seconds before the prelude ended, Xu Kong's voice finally came.
"Wandering, on the road"
"Are you leaving, ViaVia"
"Fragile, proud"
"That was what I looked like"
As soon as Xu Kong's singing came out, Fat Bird suddenly felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
The melody is not outstanding, but Xu Kong's slightly deep voice is particularly obvious with the accompanying guitar sound.
"Boiling and restless"
"Where are you going, ViaVia"
"Enigmatic, silent"
"Are you really listening to the story?"
From the beginning, the atmosphere of the song itself and Xu Kong's singing style seemed a bit depressing.
The melody and arrangement of this song are actually not complicated, but for some reason, it gives Fat Bird a natural feeling.
Especially with the lyrics, he couldn't describe it, but it just felt so special. As soon as Xu Kong opened his mouth, he was completely immersed in it.
When it came to the chorus, Xu Kong's voice suddenly and gradually became louder.
"I have crossed mountains and seas, and also crossed mountains and seas of people"
"Everything I once owned was gone like smoke in the blink of an eye"
"I was once disappointed and lost all direction, until I saw that ordinary is the only answer"
This melody treatment, these lyrics! ! !
Xu Kong on the stage has completely devoted himself to his singing at this moment.
At this moment, Fat Bird felt that his whole body was numb, and he felt like he couldn't stop shaking due to excitement.
At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room of "Our Song" has exceeded 500,000, but compared with before Xu Kong took the stage, the number of barrages was only one-tenth.
From the moment Xu Kong opened his mouth, many people stopped posting comments and focused entirely on Xu Kong's singing.
In the second part of the chorus, Xu Kong's voice became louder and louder.
"I used to be like you, like him, like the wild grass and wild flowers"
"Desperate and longing"
"I cry and laugh at the same time"
At this moment, Fat Bird felt that this feeling was very similar.
It was the same as when Xu Kong changed his agency and disappeared for more than a month before reappearing on the show.
That song "Our Song" was Xu Kong's response to some voices from the outside world at that time.
And this time, Xu Kong once again conveyed the most authentic thoughts in the song "The Ordinary Road".
And the shock it brought last time was more intuitive.
What an ordinary road.
What Xu Kong has been talked about most during this period is that he has a profound background and has strong and huge capital behind him to deliberately flatter him.
If it was a coincidence that Xu Kong gave this song such a title, Feiniao didn't believe it at all.
No wonder Xu Kong never responded to the rumors from the outside world, because in the eyes of the other party, those were not things that needed to be taken care of at all.
From being a traffic idol who was criticized for being incompetent more than half a year ago, to being named among the top five at music festivals later, becoming the youngest singer in the Chinese music scene, and now those who are deliberately brought up with the capital of various rhythms null.
This song "The Ordinary Road" is like telling everyone directly that his original intention has never changed, and no matter what happens, he is still the same Xu Kong.
"Go forward, just go like this"
"No matter what you have been given"
"Go forward, just go like this"
"Even if nothing is taken away from you"
Xu Kong was still singing.
Among the audience in the audience, many people's eyes were already wet at this time.
Many people themselves don’t know why.
Obviously the lyrics are not the straightforward and sensational type.
But I just couldn't control my emotions at all.
"Fuck Capital Kong, the best singer of the year, so what if I just like Xu Kong's songs?"
"I just listen to music. Who cares about the background and connections of the singer? Anyway, I vote for Xu Kong."
"If you're not good, just practice more. No matter what time, music can't deceive people."
The audience who had been suppressing their support for Xu Kong in the barrage finally broke out at this moment.
Even some real passersby expressed their opinions at this moment.
"I used to be like you, like him, like the wild grass and wild flowers"
"Desperate and longing"
"I cry and laugh at the same time"
The singing still continued, and every lyric seemed like Xu Kong's response to the various rhythms during this period.
"The wind blows, but the road is still far"
"Where is your story~"
With the guitar accompaniment gradually weakening at the end, the last line of lyrics was sung, and Xu Kong's singing echoed.
There was silence for a few seconds, and then the applause, screams and cheers of thousands of spectators broke out almost simultaneously, resounding throughout the venue.
