Chapter 307 The finals begin, Xu Kong’s new song for Lan Shu
“The stage for this final is really big!”
As a media judge for "Singer", Fat Bird naturally does not need to line up to check in like other ordinary audiences.
It has its own special review entrance channel.
Moreover, their media review positions are all in the infield with the best view.
The official price for the infield tickets alone is thousands.
In this regard, the program team's treatment of media judges like Fat Bird is indeed quite good.
"However, having a stage with four sides is indeed a big challenge for the singers who perform..."
Because they had sat together so many times before, Fat Bird and the music director of a small company in the industry had already added their contact information, so naturally they came together for this final.
Although Fat Bird is not the kind of person who likes to socialize most of the time.
But when participating in this kind of program, it is indeed much better to have someone around you who can talk. At least you won't feel so lonely.
Although Fat Bird is still doing his own self-media work, it has to be said that as his fame grows, he has more opportunities to interact with various people in the domestic music industry, and he is now considered to be half an industry insider. .
Fat Bird himself also consciously controlled this change and did not want to integrate into this circle wholeheartedly.
He clearly knows that the reason why he has achieved the current number of fans and popularity is actually from the perspective of most ordinary listeners.
If you are separated from the masses, the final result will be nothing more than backlash.
First of all, it is very necessary not to get too close to those professional singers. After having personal relationships, it is inevitable that you will not be able to be absolutely objective and impartial.
……
"I heard that many singers are going to sing new songs this time. Even Jian Junfang plans to sing a single that he has not released yet."
The music director once again brought some gossip from the industry.
Although the other party's company is small, he is from this circle and knows many people.
Therefore, in terms of such undisclosed information, Fat Bird is indeed inferior to the other party.
"New song?"
The other party nodded and said at the same time:
"It probably has a lot to do with Xu Kong."
"After all, Xu Kong has been absent from several programs before. It can be seen that the singers are struggling very seriously. They are either singing their own old songs or randomly choosing and adapting a classic song."
"It's probably the finals. Needless to say, Xu Kong will definitely be able to sing new songs, and some other singers will also feel pressure."
Fat Bird half agrees with this speculation.
It is indeed probably because of Xu Kong.
But pressure and other things can only be dealt with by Jian Junfang, the king of singers.
For some other singers, the reason why they choose to sing new songs in the finals is definitely not because they think they have a chance to beat Xu Kong.
On the contrary, it is more likely that because of Xu Kong, the "Singer" finals are attracting quite a lot of attention now.
Therefore, I will not miss the opportunity to expose such a work.
……
You must know that Fat Bird took a brief look when he entered. Although the "Singer" finals have not yet started, the number of viewers of the live broadcast has exceeded 100,000 just from some early backstage interviews and warm-up stages.
The final estimate of the number of viewers watching the live broadcast online at the peak of this final is over one million, which is a bit exaggerated, but it is not too difficult to have four to five million.
It can be said that it seems that the popularity of the early programs has not been as popular as last year's previous season.
But by the finals, the attention was almost even.
The reason why everyone paid attention to last season was largely because the show had been hyping up the competition between a domestic singer and two European and American singers on the same stage.
There is a kind of blessing from those who support you.
But this season, most people probably came here to see Xu Kong crowned the champion.
Xu Kong's voice for winning the championship was frighteningly loud.
My popularity is also the highest in the entire domestic entertainment industry.
Whether it is some veteran domestic superstars who have been famous for a long time but are not very active, or they are top players who like to make various charts and statistics.
Put it in front of Xu Kong, it's a bit unsightly.
……
The audience here is entering in an orderly manner, and at this time backstage, Xu Kong has already begun to be interviewed by the host.
Obviously, the program team knows who is the most popular.
Therefore, Xu Kong's interviews are often obviously better than those of other players.
However, this time the performance venue was changed to an outdoor venue, and the participating singers' lounges were all concentrated in a large room.
So during the interview, some other singers behind Xu Kong were also photographed.
"Do you think you can win the championship this time?"
"After all, the scores from the previous semi-finals were also counted, and now you have the highest number of votes..."
The host asked some relatively common questions.
"Of course I want to win the championship. Since I have participated in the show, I believe everyone's goal is to win the championship."
"But the final result is not something I can decide. I can only say that I can perform my own stage well..."
Faced with such a question, for Xu Kong, the answer was just a matter of words.
His current speaking skills are probably at the top level in the industry. If it wasn't intentional, it would be hard for anyone to criticize him.
Generally speaking, while being motivated, you must also be humble enough.
Although Xu Kong really didn't have much thought about the winner of the show "Singer".
After all, looking at it, apart from the Maple Leafs and the European and American singer, the only other person who has a slight chance of winning is King Jian Ge, who has a good relationship with him.
In addition, Lan Shu is already an artist in his own company, and even the song for the final was written by Xu Kong.
Even Su Yuwei from Jiying Media, the only one who seems to have the smell of gunpowder, actually has a pretty good relationship with Xu Kong in private. Even some of the stages in the finals were adjusted by Xu Kong with help. .
And Xu Kong still plans to bring him under his command in the future.
To sum up, Xu Kong didn't pay much attention to the final result of "Singer".
There was nothing he disliked about the singers on the same stage.
But despite this, Xu Kong still chose a song that he thought could make the show more popular because he had promised Wu Youxue but was absent for so many consecutive episodes as compensation.
……
"Xukong suddenly became so humble, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
"Damn it, if I hadn't seen the exchange between Xu Kong and Chang Dachun before, I would have almost believed it!"
"In fact, Xu Kong may indeed have a very crazy character at heart, but I have to say that most of the time, if he is not provoked, he still looks quite harmless..."
At this time, most of the viewers in the live broadcast room were naturally paying attention to Xu Kong.
If it had been before, when Xu Kong had just debuted and people didn't know much about him, they might have thought that Xu Kong had such a humble character.
But the previous scenes where Xu Kong took the initiative to speak out are really hard to forget.
So I know what kind of character Xu Kong is inside.
Of course, some sunspots will naturally still say a lot of things like emptiness and hypocrisy.
But most people are relatively receptive to Xu Kong's way of life.
After all, Chinese people do prefer that kind of humble character.
But other than that, if you really encounter something that you can't stand, it's really okay to be a little crazy.
After all, Xu Kong also has crazy capital.
It would be a bit too heroic if he kept the same persona he had when he was fighting against Chang Dachun, quarreling with people everywhere and so on.
Just show your true feelings occasionally.
In this regard, although Xu Kong did not deliberately create his own personality. But unexpectedly good results were achieved.
At least at this stage, Xu Kong's popularity among passers-by is indeed quite good.
……
After the interview here is over.
The performance order of this finals has been officially announced.
There was no draw this time. What Wu Youxue wanted was to put Xu Kong's stage at the end of the show.
In addition to the preservation of the show, the most important thing is Xu Kong's current call to win the championship. It is indeed most appropriate to appear at the end.
Therefore, the order of performances is determined by the number of votes in the semi-finals.
Xu Kong also cooperated and chose to appear last.
Soon, the pre-final performances officially began.
On such a big stage, it is definitely impossible to start the finals directly like before.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
Although the method of gathering time backstage can be used, the experience is not very friendly to the thousands of spectators at the scene.
Therefore, in this final, many singers who were eliminated before were invited to return to perform.
At the same time, Xu Kong and other finalists also had a performance each.
The songs sung were from the previous show, but there was no voting, so it was just a performance.
It is equivalent to making the audience at the scene not feel that it is not worth the ticket price.
……
What Xu Kong sang was the song "Dongfeng Po" he had performed on the show before.
It has to be said that as the pioneer of Chinese style, "Dongfeng Po" is now almost widely sung.
Although up to now, there have indeed been some Chinese-style singles with good quality and popularity.
But the most popular and well-known ones are still Xu Kongchun's "Blue and White Porcelain" in the evening and "East Wind Break" sung in the previous program.
"Who is playing a song on the pipa? The east wind is breaking, the years are peeling off the wall and I see my childhood"
In the chorus part, Xu Kong's voice was somewhat inaudible.
It became a chorus of the whole audience.
This is an effect that other performers do not have.
It felt like the scene had turned into Xu Kong's own personal concert.
Xu Kong hardly rehearsed the stage of "East Wind Breaks".
Mainly, this song is not the focus of the stage today.
Just pay a little attention to your positioning and stuff.
Who knew, the moves were a bit redundant, and he didn’t even have to sing.
After entering the state, in the second part, even if it is not the most familiar chorus, the audience can sing along while looking at the lyrics on the screen above the stage.
……
"Damn it, I didn't think about buying tickets for a variety show at that time. Now I see the atmosphere and regret it."
"If I hadn't glanced at the live broadcast room of Mango Channel, I would have felt like I was watching Xu Kong's concert."
"It feels like Xu Kong himself is confused, and the voice below is louder than his."
In the live broadcast room, although there is no way to experience the live atmosphere immersively.
But Mango’s stage was really well set up this time, and coupled with the constant switching of cameras from various angles and the neat chorus at the scene, it was still quite shocking.
Of course, maybe it's because Xu Kong really hasn't participated in too many performances.
In other words, in most of the performances so far, Xu Kong has sang new songs.
On the contrary, people overlooked Xu Kong's advantages in this aspect.
That is, other singers may have one or two of their own masterpieces, which are highly popular and can attract fans to sing.
But for Xu Kong, most of his songs so far can almost be sung by the whole audience.
With this advantage alone, if Xu Kong's live stage appeal is weaker, this can easily make up for it.
……
The early performance stage was over, and with the two well-known Mango hosts taking the stage, the finals of "Singer" finally entered the official competition stage.
The first one to appear was the Maple Leafs.
These two outdated first-line combinations, who had the lowest votes in the last period, seemed to know that there was no hope of winning the championship, so they simply chose to be the first to appear, trying to leave a deep impression on the audience.
This time the two sang new songs. It was obvious that they wanted to recreate the songs that were popular back then. The styles and types of songs were almost exactly the same.
It is a pity that the Maple Leafs became popular in the first place because of a certain amount of luck and the times.
Even most of the viewers watching the show now are not the same group when the two were popular.
At most, I have heard their songs before.
So there is no so-called filter at all, and most people are not too cold.
Even Fat Bird didn't think it worked. The style of the two songs was similar to the two contemporary pop songs that Xu Kong wrote for Mao Zheyu some time ago.
But in terms of quality, it can be said that it is as good as heaven and earth. The chorus seems to have no memorable points and is so mediocre that it makes people feel a little boring.
……
After the performance, during the voting stage, Fat Bird decisively chose not to vote.
The Maple Leaf combination was indeed very popular back then, but the two were obviously not satisfied with the combination model, and both believed that they could develop better without each other.
As a result, after so many years, it is still tepid.
When mentioned, most people couldn't even name the two of them, and would only remember them as one of the two members of the Maple Leafs.
Obviously, they can no longer survive. In desperation, they chose to merge again this time.
It looks like this is not just a plan to harvest the feelings of fans, but a plan to re-enact the glory of the past.
But this kind of thing is a bit too simple to think about.
……
However, for the sake of final suspense, the voting for the final was not announced directly as usual, but was made public after everyone had finished their performances.
Therefore, although many people found Maple Leaf's performance boring, no one knew exactly how many votes the two had.
As for the second person to appear at this time, it was Lan Shu.
In addition to the low number of votes in the semi-finals, he didn't have a good choice. In fact, Lan Shu also hoped that he could finish the performance earlier.
Although Xu Kong is now her boss.
But I have to say that the previous times when she and Xu Kong appeared next to each other did make her a little subconsciously afraid.
Especially Xu Kong's last appearance, he couldn't take over the scene at all.
So she thought that performing at the front was exactly what she wanted.
……
Although Fat Bird knew that Lan Shu would be good at the scene, he really didn't have much expectations.
Until Lan Shu came on stage, a prelude sound sounded that was very familiar to everyone including him.
He was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this the prelude to "The King of Karaoke"?!"
