Chapter 308 Lan Shu’s new song was indeed written by Xu Kong!
It was not just Fat Bird who was stunned, but also most of the media judges, as well as many ordinary viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
There is no way, the popularity of Xu Kong's song "King of Karaoke" in the semi-finals is too high.
This directly leads to the fact that just when the prelude sounds, the relevant recognition is full.
This is also one of the reasons why Mao Zheyu's song "Good Intentions" was relatively popular at the beginning.
When I first listened to this song, the prelude sounded, and people immediately thought of Xu Kong's Mandarin version of "King of Karaoke".
Cover singing is allowed in the "Singer" competition. After all, it is impossible for everyone to be Xu Kong. Anyone who can perform in every episode of the show can easily come up with a new song that has not been released yet.
But after all, "King of Karaoke" was a song Xu Kong only sang during the semifinals.
Under such circumstances, no one would think that Lan Shu's song for the finals would be a cover of Xu Kong's.
Sure enough, as the song information appeared on the screen above the subtitles stage, some of Fat Bird's subconscious guesses were verified.
""Promise""
"Singing: Lan Shu"
"Lyrics: Xu Kong"
"Composer: Xu Kong"
……
In fact, except for the first second when he heard it, Fat Bird was a little surprised, and then he quickly thought of it.
Lan Shu's song this time was most likely written by Xu Kong.
Because the prelude is the same as the Cantonese version of "King of Karaoke", combined with the previous song "Good Intentions", it is easy to guess.
It will be one of the dozens of new songs that Xu Kong said he had not yet released in the lyrics of "King of Karaoke".
Mainly because Lan Shu and Xu Kong didn't seem to have any relevant interactions before.
Even on the show, he seemed like an ordinary colleague he just met.
No one could have guessed that Lan Shu's song for this final would be written by Xu Kong.
And while everyone was discussing and wondering, and the barrage was still discussing this, Lan Shu on the stage had already spoken.
“I still remember the door number of the hotel that day”
"Still leaving with a smile on his face"
“The whole city was so brisk that day”
"Let's walk along the road for half a mile"
……
"Sure enough!"
The fat bird now had the urge to scream.
If it were me in normal times, I would probably do this.
But now, as a media judge participating in the show, he still restrains his impulse very well.
But I was still very excited inside.
Because just as he guessed, the new song Xu Kong wrote for Lan Shu this time was a Cantonese song.
Others may forget it, but as the self-media that understands Xu Kong best in the entire network.
Of course he knew that Xu Kong's "The King of Karaoke" had two versions with completely different lyrics.
Although the tunes are the same, the arrangement and lyrics of the entire song are fundamentally different between the Mandarin and Cantonese versions.
Although it is not said that they are two completely different songs, there is indeed a big difference.
As for the last song "Good Intentions", the intro is the same as the intro of the Mandarin version.
This time "The Promise" is the same as the Cantonese version.
Of course, this song will most likely be a Cantonese song!
What he is most curious about now is the specific number of unreleased songs that Xu Kong mentioned at the time.
More than twenty poems and fifty or sixty poems can both be called dozens of poems, but the difference in number is double or even more.
And since the lyrics of the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version are completely different, does that mean that the lyrics of both versions contain Xu Kong's new song that has not been officially released?
……
“It’s actually in Cantonese!”
The music director next to Fat Bird was obviously quite surprised.
Although he can know a lot of inside information that Fat Bird doesn't know.
But some of the singers in the script are detailed, and they are indeed not as clear as Fat Bird.
Lan Shu himself is from Guangzhou. It can be said that there is almost no pressure on the other party in terms of language when singing "The Promise".
The most important thing is that the style Lan Shu has always brought to the audience is not very consistent with this song "Promise".
But with the other party's singing skills and the advantage of his own language, the effect is indeed surprisingly good.
……
"Forgetting the world, it seems that I can't remember myself"
"I still haven't forgotten to meet up to watch the yellow leaves flying far away in the sky"
At the same time, the whole song happened to be singing the chorus part.
It is true that Lan Shu has not become popular on stage for so many years.
But in all aspects of his singing skills and voice talent, it can be said that there is no fault.
Even Fat Bird, who was originally thinking about many things, now completely focused on Lan Shu on the stage as the chorus sounded.
……
"Tomorrow, the world will only be afraid that it will not recognize itself"
"I still haven't forgotten my promise to you if I don't die"
I don’t know why, although it’s Lan Shu, Fat Bird feels like he’s a completely different person.
In the past, although Lan Shu's singing skills and live performance always made Feiniao very sympathetic to his professionalism and business abilities, he just couldn't really fall in love with him from the bottom of his heart.
The reason why I voted was because of my fairness as a media judge.
But other than that, Lan Shu's previous works are indeed not what Fat Bird likes.
Except for this song "Promise".
The most surprising thing for him is here. Maybe the quality of the song has some reasons.
But despite the huge change in song style, Lan Shu not only didn't feel the slightest sense of dissonance, but instead suddenly burst out with a stage charm that he had never seen before.
It's really a bit amazing.
……
"It sounds good, Xu Kong really has a lot of inventory hidden!"
"When Xu Kong writes a song for his opponent, doesn't this mean giving him a weapon to beat himself with?"
"Is it because I know it's Xu Kong's song? I feel like I didn't like Lan Shu's performance before, but this time it's completely the other way around."
"I feel the same way. It seems that none of Lan Shu's previous songs are suitable for her like Xu Kong's!"
Not only Fat Bird had such thoughts in his mind, but most of the audience at this time also said similar things.
In fact, Lan Shu is still the same Lan Shu.
Whether it's my voice or the stage costumes prepared for this final, there is not much difference from the previous ones.
The only difference is mainly this song "Promise", which is indeed different from her previous songs.
Especially in terms of Cantonese, although Lan Shu is from Guangzhou, he has actually almost never released Cantonese songs before, and there are almost no covers.
In addition, Xu Kong did specifically tell her that this time she would slightly change her previous singing method.
In particular, I should take advantage of my own high-pitched breath and use the technique of changing the true and false voices. In the chorus part, I should restrain some of my past performance habits and don't just think about hitting the high notes to show off my skills.
This way of singing under pressure was indeed a bit uncomfortable for Lan Shu at first.
But as time went by, especially for this final, Lan Shu himself practiced in private for so long.
It has indeed played a considerable role.
...Of course, after all, the habits of so many years, even if they have been changed, are still a bit uncomfortable.
It is impossible for Lan Shu on the stage to see the barrage in the live broadcast room in real time.
Or know the audience’s evaluation.
And for slow songs like "The Promise", the feedback from the live audience is actually relatively less compared to the stage where she used to show off her skills.
Most of the audience in the audience were listening to the song quietly.
So I felt a little unsure at this time.
However, strong professionalism does play a big role.
Lan Shu still sang the whole song perfectly.
In addition to her own musical literacy, she also knew the quality of the new songs Xu Kong wrote for her.
"Even if your big chest is no match for the weather"
"I can recognize you even with gray hair on my temples"

……
Until the last two lines of lyrics are completely sung.
After the scene was quiet for a while, when there was warm applause and the audience screamed and cheered, Lan Shu truly breathed a sigh of relief this time.
"Damn it, if the number of votes in the semi-finals hadn't been a little low, I really think Lan Shu's performance in this game might have been comparable to Xu Kong's."
"But if Lan Shu wins, Xu Kong might regret it a little. After all, he wrote the song for him."
"The regret is a bit exaggerated. He doesn't need a "Singer" champion now, and he doesn't feel like he cares too much. Even if he doesn't win the championship, it doesn't hurt."
Lan Shu's performance is over.
Except for a small number of trolls and viewers who like to criticize, almost all the comments in the live broadcast room are positive.
In addition, most of the media reviewers, including Fat Bird, also had a great change in Lan Shu's opinion.
The first time I heard Lan Shu live, I was really shocked by his singing skills and the performance.
But after so many episodes, the other party’s stage style and song types almost didn’t change much each time.
It’s hard not to feel a little exhausted by this.
Especially the treble part for which Lan Shu is most famous.
Although it is true that in the entire Chinese music world, it is of a very capable level.
But it’s the same trick every time, and it seems like I’m singing with all my strength every time.
It’s true that the more you listen to it, the less you like it.
There are definitely many people like Fat Bird who voted simply because of Lan Shu's singing skills, but were actually not too impressed by the media judges on the other side's stage.
But this sudden change of style really brought a big surprise.
Such a breakthrough can be said to be a trump card in the finals.
……
"Lan Shu's was actually written by Xu Kong?"
Backstage at this time, Su Yuwei's agent was quite surprised.
She didn't expect that Su Yuwei hadn't even gotten the song written by Xu Kong, but Lan Shu actually asked Xu Kong to help write the song during the finals.
It is inevitable that there will be some imbalance in the mind.
At the same time, he also began to doubt the relationship between the two.
She couldn't help it, maybe because she thought so in her heart, which led her to see other female singers who Xu Kong helped write songs with similar thoughts.
She suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
I think the progress is still too slow. It seems that I need to be more attentive in the future. If necessary, I have to go out and give Su Yuwei a push in person.
……
Lan Shu's performance ended, and the European and American singer appeared next.
The European and American singer who was not eliminated and entered the finals.
It seemed that his mission had been completed, the notification fee had been paid, and he just let himself go in the finals and randomly selected a song from his past.
The state was so lax that he made several mistakes that shouldn't have been made.
It can be said that he should have given up the possibility of competing for the championship in advance.
Perhaps the novelty of participating in last year's European and American singers is no longer there.
Everyone no longer dwells on the comparison between domestic and foreign singers.
Therefore, the two European and American singers participating this time seem to be somewhat inferior to last year in terms of their popularity in China and their ranking on the show.
But in fact, if we just talk about the celebrity status, the fees offered by the two program teams this year are even much higher.
All I can say is that even Wu Youxue couldn't have predicted it in advance.
Without Xu Kong's rescue, it can be said that the popularity and traffic of this year's "Singer" would have been reduced by at least 30 to 40%.
……
""Starry Night""
"Singer: Su Yuwei"
"Lyrics and music composition:..."
Su Yuwei later gave the audience some surprises.
Because just like the semi-finals, she still sang a new song this time.
The style of the song itself is similar to that of the semi-finals, and even the overall song quality is similar.
But I don’t know why, but it was obvious that Su Yuwei’s state in the final was not as good as in the previous semi-final.
As the youngest singer on the stage besides Xu Kong, although his singing skills are much better than those of his peers, he still made several small mistakes.
It's not very obvious, but for some media reviewers who pay great attention to details, it is undoubtedly a big minus.
……
As for Jian Junfang, who is second to last, this time he is still the R&B type song that he is best at.
And it’s a new song written by myself.
It has indeed been a long time since he sang a new song he wrote.
I don’t know if it was stimulated by Xu Kong or something, but I was inspired anyway.
The new songs this time are of very high quality.
Even Xu Kong was quite surprised. After all, he had collaborated with Jian Junfang before, and the other party listened to him almost throughout the process, unlike a creative singer.
Unexpectedly, I am not bad at arranging and composing lyrics, especially the arranging, which can be said to be at the top level in the industry.
……
Jian Junfang's performance ended successfully.
The performance of the veteran singer is still very stable.
To sum up, except for the European and American singer, there is a high probability that all of them will sing new songs in this final.
After all, everyone agreed that Xu Kong, who appeared last, would sing a new song written by himself.
Strictly speaking, the excitement of this final was indeed beyond Fat Bird's expectations.
At present, including Lan Shu, Su Yuwei, and Jian Ge King just now, there are already three singers who are predicted by Fat Bird to have a high probability of getting more than 90 votes.
In the past, it was definitely the fiercest competition for first place in the same period.
But at the same time, Xu Kong, who is actually the most popular and the one everyone is most looking forward to winning, has not yet appeared.
Although Xu Kong has the vote advantage in the semi-finals.
But after all, compared to several other singers who have already performed, there is indeed a lot of uncertainty.
I just don’t know what kind of song Xu Kong has prepared this time.
He was actually able to safely sing "The Promise" to Lan Shu, which Fat Bird rated highly in his heart.
