Chapter 244 "Daoxiang"
Su Yuwei's pressure at this time was indeed too much.
The main reason is that in this episode, I feel that the other guests, compared to the previous ones, seem to have suddenly become serious.
Especially for someone like Jian Junfang, compared with his performance in this issue, it really feels like he was just trying to fish for a living.
Originally this new song was written by Guo Min.
Although I wasn't too sure about beating Xu Kong, I still thought there was no problem if I got a good result.
But now, she felt a little unsure.
After all, although she is much older than newcomers like Xu Kong.
But in terms of stage experience, he is still not as good as singers like Jian Junfang and Wang Songjie.
The only thing I can do is not to let the tension at this time affect my subsequent performance.
……
""More Than Forgive""
"Singer: Su Yuwei"
"Lyrics written by: Guo Min"
"Composer: Guo Min"
As Su Yuwei took the stage, the name of the new song she sang this time appeared on the screen on the stage.
Although he had known about this before, Fat Bird was still a little surprised.
In fact, Su Yuwei is not particularly outstanding among the current first-line singers in China.
Not to mention Jiying Entertainment, where all kinds of singing kings and queens gather.
The other party actually got the new song that Guo Min helped write.
Not only that, but judging from the style of the intro, it is the type of pop love song that Guo Min has written the most hit songs before.
Although now, there is the entire "Su Xu" written by Xu Kong for Su Zhi, which covers almost all types of love songs and conceptual angles.
It is indeed easy for people to compare the following pop love songs with the songs in Su Zhi's album.
However, love songs are indeed the genre that has the largest number of songs over the years.
From the perspective of creative difficulty and business perspective, this is a situation that cannot be avoided in the short term.
……
"The melody of this song is very good..."
When the chorus came out, before Fat Bird even opened his mouth, the music director of the small company next to him quickly expressed what he was thinking.
This is indeed the case, although it is a bit too formulaic in itself.
Especially the lyrics, among all the love songs currently on the market, there are not many that are too surprising. Even if you put several songs together and sing the lyrics interchangeably, there will be no sense of dissonance. That kind of thing.
But the melody is indeed quite stunning.
This is especially true for the chorus, which is very memorable.
It's the kind of song that you can sing along with almost once.
If the melody and lyrics weren't particularly harmonious, Fat Bird would have felt like he was listening to Xu Kong's new song.
Because in the past two years, most of the songs that could make him feel this way were written by Xu Kong.
Guo Min is worthy of being a songwriter who has had many hit singles. Although he is already quite old, he has been in the industry for a long time.
But he is still able to write such amazing melodies from time to time.
It proves that the other party is still not at the stage when his talents are exhausted and his inspiration is exhausted.
……
"It's a pity that Su Yuwei is still a little too nervous..."
Fat Bird couldn't help but speak.
The song itself is absolutely stunning.
Especially as a new song that has not been released before and is only performed for the first time this time.
The melody alone was enough to make it a hit after the show.
But although the singer said that the new song will be a bonus, after all, the first consideration is the singer's stage performance and performance on the spot.
Su Yuwei made several obvious mistakes. In fact, it was not a particularly difficult singing. With the other party's singing skills, similar situations should not occur.
The only explanation is that nervousness affected my own performance state.
……
However, although it was a mistake, it was because of the melody advantage of the song and the bonus effect brought by the new song.
Su Yuwei finally got 92 votes, second only to Jian Junfang.
Su Yuwei, who was on the stage watching the votes come out, was also slightly relieved.
At this time, how could she still be in the mood to think about the tasks that the company asked her to complete? It was already the best news that she could finish the song smoothly, make timely adjustments to her mistakes, and get such votes without overturning.
And judging from the feedback from the audience, Su Yuwei was quite satisfied.
Defeating Xu Kong and defeating the opponent's surging momentum were just the company's thoughts. Su Yuwei actually never thought about it.
For her, if the song becomes popular, it will further increase her own popularity and popularity.
This is the real deal.
A year ago, she might have thought about stepping on Xu Kong's ass.
But now, when she received the thoughts from the company's management, her heart was filled with an incredulous expression of "Me?"
……
“It’s really hard to say this issue.”
“Xukong’s chances of surpassing Jian Junfang’s votes are probably a little bit uncertain...”
As a music director, although I am only a small company in the entertainment industry, I have also participated in the voting of "Singer" for so many times.
There are even many similar music collections.
Except for some program groups who deliberately manipulate the votes and intervene for the sake of program effectiveness.
Various variety shows of this level, although they are called variety shows, in terms of the gold content and attention of the competition itself, they are definitely the best in the country.
So even though Xu Kong himself is very popular, his strength is also recognized.
But as the previous singers have all contributed and this season's "Singer" is the best stage, Xu Kong may not necessarily be able to get the first place so smoothly.
Even the one with the lowest number of votes currently is the only European and American singer on the show, but it still reached a high number of 87 votes.
"I don't think it's a big problem."
The voice of the fat bird came.
He seemed very determined.
This made the music director, who was not very high in the industry, stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Fat Bird noticed the other person's eyes and asked in confusion.
Although Fat Bird doesn't know where his judgment comes from, he just feels that Xu Kong's new song this time is probably not bad.
At least it is better than the one Guo Min wrote for Su Yuwei.
……
"I originally thought that the people on the Internet who said you were the 'Xu Chui Boss' were just a persona you created for yourself..."
The other party smiled and explained.
Fat Bird understood what this meant.
After all, Xu Kong is so popular and has many fans.
With such a prestigious title, it can indeed bring a lot of traffic and attention.
There are many Internet celebrities of various types on the Internet, and they reap such dividends by establishing their own personalities.
This is not too shameful.
It's nothing more than one thing on the surface and another in private.
It is also very common in the entertainment industry.
It's just that he really isn't like that.
At the very least, although he did post a lot of annoying videos about Xu Kong, he never said anything against his will.
"Calm me half a fan of Xu Kong."
"He still talks a few words occasionally."
Although he knew that the other party would not really listen to his explanation, Fat Bird still said something.
As for Xu Kong, of course he has one. Before Xu Kong started to show off his creative talents, his most popular video was due to his critical comments on Xu Kong's car accident stage.
Strictly speaking, even Xu Kong didn't change much later. For Fat Bird, he is still a noble person on his career path as a critical blogger.
……
While Fat Bird and the two were chatting quietly, Xu Kong, who was the penultimate finalist, had already appeared on the stage.
Although Xu Kong had met him at the award ceremony before.
But at this time, Fat Bird was quite excited to hear each other live again, most likely a new song.
The last time he listened to Xu Kong's performance probably dates back to Su Zhi's concert in Beijing last year.
Moreover, Xu Kong was just a guest, and the songs he sang on his personal stage were all old songs from before.
There was probably a similar variety show competition until the time of "Our Song". At that time, Fat Bird was also the on-site media judge.
……
Compared with Su Yuwei who was on stage earlier, Xu Kong felt completely stress-free at this moment.
Fat Bird has always felt that even though Xu Kong didn’t perform too many performances.
Not to mention similar singers and singers, even some second- and third-tier singers who have developed slightly well, the number of performances Xu Kong performed last year is probably completely incomparable.
There are not necessarily that many performances that people can accept, but Xu Kong simply refused them all.
But even so, compared to the original time, Xu Kong's current typhoon and scene make people feel more and more obvious that he has the temperament of a singer that many people on the Internet call him.
However, Fat Bird analyzed it a little later and realized that it was mainly because Xu Kong didn't care too much. Without any pressure, the effect was actually better.
What gave Xu Kong this confidence was not only the other party's current popularity, but also Xu Kong's other identity.
That's right, compared to singers on other programs, even singers like Jian Junfang, Xu Kong is the only one who can still develop well even if he doesn't sing a song in the future.
Because the other party's development in film and television is indeed no worse than that of a singer.
It can even be said that Xu Kong's current popularity is so high because the several dramas he has filmed have played almost the most important role.
……
While Fat Bird was thinking about these things, Xu Kong's song information appeared on the big screen behind the stage, accompanied by a few cicadas that suddenly sounded at the scene.
""Daoxiang""
"Singing: Xu Kong"
"Lyrics: Xu Kong"
"Composer: Xu Kong"
……
“It’s indeed a new song!”
Although I was almost confident enough before.
But when he saw the name of the song, Fat Bird was completely relieved.
The slightly cheerful guitar intro was still playing. Although Xu Kong had not spoken yet, the intro, which he had never heard before but was quite memorable and recognizable, was enough to make Fat Bird start to get excited. Get up.
Soon, Xu Kong's singing began to be heard.
"If you have too many complaints about this world"
“If you fall, you don’t dare to move forward”
"Why do people have to be so fragile and corrupt~"
Although you can feel it from the prelude, Xu Kong's new song this time is completely different from the previous song "Bridge of Tears".
But I have to say that Xu Kong didn't change his voice too deliberately this time.
The first few sentences sound fast-paced, but the rather healing atmosphere is overwhelming.
……
"The style is completely different from Xu Kong's previous songs..."
There were soft comments coming from the side.
Fat Bird also agreed quite a bit at this time.
But he wasn't surprised at all.
In comparison, some of Xu Kong's previous songs were almost all more obvious in style.
Especially songs like "A Bridge of Fate" and "I Want to See You, I Want to See You, I Want to See You" almost all contain quite contagious emotions.
Even though it's a softer style, it's still R&B.
But the ones he wrote for Su Zhi were all ones that didn't have particularly big mood swings, and didn't have many high notes or singing skills. They were almost all based on the melody, lyrics, and singing voice, which was almost non-existent.
……
"Remember, you said home is the only castle"
"With the fragrance of rice, the river continues to run"
"Smile slightly, I know your childhood dreams"
When it comes to the chorus, in addition to the brisk and healing melody itself, the lyrics are also very graphic.
It feels right, the feeling that lyrics and music almost complement each other.
And not only that, it is obvious that the arrangement of the entire song is also quite expressive.
The chirping of crickets, chirping of cicadas, accordion and other elements added to it almost become the finishing touch of the whole song.
The summer, country atmosphere is created quite well.
……
"Don't give up so easily"
"Just like I said"
“If you can’t chase a dream, just change it to another dream”
Xu Kong's singing still continued.
There are too many details worth talking about, but at this time, Fat Bird's brain is obviously overloaded.
Later, I just let myself go and enjoyed Xu Kong's performance.
“There’s even a rap part?”
Fat Bird was quite surprised, but Xu Kong's experience as a rapper in high school had long been exposed, and it had actually been shown once in "Our Song" before.
But when it comes to "Daoxiang", although it is only a very short part, I feel that Xu Kong is a little more comfortable in using the rap genre.
Not only does it not feel disconnected, but it feels like it is completely natural and fits perfectly here.
……
"Color your life brightly"
"First paint love with your favorite color"
When Xu Kong sang here, he suddenly paused, and even the original accompaniment stopped.
"Just smile, success and fame are not the goal"
"Making yourself happy is called meaning"
"The paper airplane of my childhood is finally flying back into my hands"
……
As soon as the lyrics "Let's laugh" came out, Fatty's whole body got goosebumps instantly.
Of course it couldn't be a mistake, it was specially designed this way.
Pause can actually be regarded as a kind of melody, and it can have such a good effect!
Throughout the lyrics of the song, the healing image becomes more and more obvious towards the end.
After the phrase "success and fame are not the goal" came out, the intention of the whole song was completely revealed.
"Go home, return to the original beauty"
……
With the end of the last line of lyrics, Xu Kong's performance ended completely with the same sound of crickets at the end.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that violent applause finally broke out.
Many of the audience's eyes even turned red at this time.
No way, compared to the melody itself, the whole song brings a sense of healing, and it is indeed the most powerful tool that can infect and stir up the audience's emotions.
"I take back what I said before."
"There is probably not much suspense in this program now..."
Amidst the applause that resounded throughout the venue, the voice of the music director of the small company came from beside Fat Bird.
