Chapter 287 Crushing
The name of the song appeared on the big screen at the scene and on the subtitles of the TV: "Onion"!
“Onion? What a strange song title. You can’t tell what type of song it is from this name.”
“I have heard songs named after fruits before, like Ren Xianqi "Orange Perfume", it's really rare for a song to be named after a vegetable. "
"There are so many vegetables to choose from, but I just picked something like an onion. Isn't it good to call it a tomato and a cucumber? ! The name "onion" sounds a bit irritating to the eyes."
Although the audience thought the song title sounded a bit strange, they still showed expectant expressions, and the three judges even looked like they were listening carefully.
After all, in today's competition, Zhang Wei has already produced two original songs, and the quality of the songs is first-class. Today's "Onion", as Zhang Wei's finale, may be of better quality than the previous two songs.
As the prelude of piano playing sounded, the audience at the scene became quiet, and everyone began to listen to Zhang Wei's "Onion".
"If your eyes can be for me, a moment will come, if you can hear the sound of heartbreak, guard you silently, wait for miracles silently, let yourself be silent, like air..."< br>
When Zhang Wei opened his mouth, the tune was not very melodious, but the lyrics were awesome!
The lyrics of the song "Onion" are really heart-wrenching. At best, they cleverly depict the complex emotions when facing love. At worst, they are like a poor licking dog hiding in the corner waiting for the goddess. favor.
Like "being silent and letting myself be like air", "looking at you secretly, hiding myself secretly", isn't this just a licking dog who dare not express his feelings!
But it is this correct dog-licking attitude that easily resonates with the audience.
After all, the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people, with ordinary looks, ordinary abilities, and ordinary families. When we meet the handsome man or beauty we like, or the rich, handsome, white and beautiful person we like, we ordinary people will naturally lick the dog.
Just like what is sung in the song, no matter how gregarious your smile is, it is just an onion, a condiment. You can only wait silently for the favor of the gods and goddesses, treating it as a miracle. , and when the god or goddess in your mind really comes to you, you will be eager to perform a heart surgery on yourself, peeling off your heart layer by layer.
As Zhang Wei sang the lyrics, the audience gradually fell into the scene of the song, as if they were the onion waiting to be peeled away layer by layer.
Finally, Zhang Wei sang to the climax of the song: "If you are willing to peel off my heart layer by layer..."
This line of lyrics gradually expanded. Under the melody, all the listeners are moved instantly.
This word does not mention affection or love, but it makes people feel extremely cruel. It's like a sharp blade, cutting through emotions. The deep affection and helplessness make people see the struggle and hear the heart. Broken sound.
“If you are willing to peel off my heart layer by layer, your nose will be sore and you will shed tears, as long as you can hear me and see my whole heart.”
When Zhang Wei finished singing this line, everyone understood the meaning of the song title "Onion".
Onions, the most common vegetable in daily life, can be easily found in the vegetable market even in the north where winter is cold, but now it cleverly depicts a kind of love.
Onions need to be peeled off layer by layer to see the heart inside. Such vivid metaphors are rare in pop songs.
This kind of language is concise and lively, without too many gorgeous words or affectionate exquisite decorations, but it is like a carefully carved gem, dazzling.
The progression in the lyrics, from silent attention, to inner struggle and desire, to peeling off my heart layer by layer, explains the emotion from silence to desperate confession. The progress and turning points in it can easily hit people's hearts.
Music without emotion is not good music, and a singer who does not inject emotion when singing is not a good singer.
At this time, Zhang Wei gradually injected emotion into the songs. What follows is the audience's emotions, which are also attracted by the songs.
At the beginning, many viewers frowned slightly and the corners of their mouths drooped slightly, revealing a touch of sadness and contemplation. It was an expression of being touched by the gentle and slightly sad emotions in the song.
However, when the song reached its climax, the phrase "open my heart layer by layer" directly touched the softest corners of the audience's hearts, and many people could not restrain themselves. With their own feelings, they had been completely moved by this song, and tears began to well up in their eyes.
And those who have been licking dogs, or are currently licking dogs, have been awakened by this song to the softness and vulnerability deep in their hearts.
If you think about it carefully, isn't this song exactly what you are singing?
This is simply 120% resonance!
Especially those licking dogs sitting in front of the TV, at this time, they feel like they have found a soulmate.
I have been in love with the goddess for so many years, who can understand my inner struggle? Who else can understand my inseparable emotions?
This song will do it! This singer can read me!
It's hard to find a soulmate, so why are you hesitating? Take out your phone and vote!
In fact, even if there is no resonance at all, just because it is a good song, it is still worthy of a vote.
Although it costs one dollar to vote, for those young men and women who like music, they are willing to pay for it.
As a result, Zhang Wei's votes began to soar rapidly. Before the song was even sung, it reached more than 30,000 votes.
……
On the thirteen expert jury, there was someone whose face was a little confused.
Just now they voted for Wang Bo out of conscience, but they didn't expect Zhang Wei to come up with a better song.
This seems to be asking, are you so-called expert reviewers deaf? Do you understand music?
The better Zhang Wei performed, the more he slapped the expert judges in the face.
The one with the ugliest face was the manager of the entertainment company.
When Zhang Wei finished singing the first climax, he already realized that Wang Bo was afraid that he would lose to Zhang Wei.
The song "Xingqing" sung by Wang Bo is certainly a good song, and it also has the bonus of being a fan of Jay Chou. But compared with this song "Onion", "Xingqing" doesn't seem to have any advantages.
This song "Onion" is not inferior to "Xingqing" in terms of quality, and "Xingqing" just has an extra Jay Chou. If "Onion" was also a song by Jay Chou, it might have received more praise than "Xingqing".
But this is an amateur talent show after all. There is no Jay Chou here. Even if you sing Jay Chou's song, Jay Chou's fan bonus will not be of much use in front of a top-notch original song. effect.
"Where did this Zhang Wei come from? How could he write such a good and sad song! This guy shouldn't come to "Come on Boy" to bully amateur singers, but should Go to the Golden Melody Awards to compete with Jay Chou and JJ Lin!”
The manager cursed secretly in his mind. As an entertainment company executive, he certainly knew that such a heart-wrenching song could easily resonate with the audience and quickly attract fans.
However, he did not intend to give up. Although "Onion" is a top-notch song, a good song does not mean a good singing. If there is a problem with Zhang Wei's singing, maybe Wang Bo will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. .
However, the manager soon discovered that there was no problem with Zhang Wei's singing skills at all, and even the sound and rhythm processing in many places were just right. Not only could he not find any faults, he could not even perform better. improvements.
But in terms of singing skills, Zhang Wei crushed Wang Bo again.
The song is good and the singing is good, how can this compare!
...
The melody and rhythm of the song "Onion" are not particularly complicated. The author of this song is Mayday's Ashin. Everyone knows Mayday's songs, so it won't be difficult.
But it is not easy to sing this song well, because singing this song requires good emotional expression and vocal control.
The first is emotional expression. As a sad song, it must have very delicate and deep emotional investment. If there is no emotional investment when singing, then you will not be able to sing "layer by layer, layer by layer". If you peel off the layers of my heart, there will be no deep affection and sincerity that can penetrate the soul.
The second point is voice control. Singing this song requires good voice control ability and skills. It requires the kind of progressive timbre changes and strong and weak processing. Without certain singing skills, it is impossible to You can sing it smoothly, but you will definitely not be able to sing it well. Yang Zongwei, the original singer of the song, handled these two points very well.
Although Yang Zongwei came from a talent show, his voice is originally a very emotional type, with a sense of vicissitudes of life, yet without losing magnetism, low but very penetrating, and very recognizable.
So if you want to sing this song well, you don’t need to understand it specifically or practice too much. Just listen to Yang Zongwei’s original song several times and imitate it directly.
This is the case with Zhang Wei. His singing is a straightforward imitation of Yang Zongwei in all aspects. From the singing method, to the vocal processing, to the rhythm, they are all based on Yang Zongwei's original singing.
If you have a perfect answer sheet, you would be a fool if you don’t copy it. Even if you just copy and get 80 points, it is better than answering the questions blindly and getting 60 points.
...
After the song was finished, there were endless cheers. Many people were crying and shouting at the top of their lungs, as if they were expressing their suppressed feelings.
There are still many dog lickers, but too few people know how to lick dogs!
At this time, the busiest person is the director backstage.
“And the lens of Unit 4!”
In the footage of Camera 4, a young girl was holding a sign supporting Wang Bo, but she was crying for Zhang Wei with tears streaming down her face.
“Camera No. 5!”
In the camera from Camera No. 5, two spectators with red eyes crying were covering their mouths with tissues, trying hard to suppress their excitement.
“Unit No. 3, give the judges a close-up!”
In the footage of Unit No. 3, all three judges stood up from their positions, and one of them pointed at Zhang Wei and kept saying that he had malfunctioned. Another person raised his hands above his head and was also shouting, while the last person stretched his arms forward and extended his thumb, index finger and little finger in an internationally accepted "love gesture".
As for the viewers in front of the TV, they are probably all using their mobile phones to send text messages to vote!
Seeing such a fierce reaction at the scene, Zhang Wei was also infected. Even though these were expected things, he felt a little excited in his heart.
After all, this is "Onion", which can be regarded as a song on the level of a divine comedy.
However, in terms of the awards this song has received and its spread among the people, "Onion" is definitely phenomenal.
Around 2010, young guys went to KTV to sing, and this song was almost a must.
Moreover, this song has been on various golden song charts all year round, which is a rare thing. You must know that new songs come out every day, there are a few good songs every month, and there are always a few good songs every year, and there are even some divine songs. With such fierce competition, staying on the list for a long time can be more difficult than rushing to the top.
There are many good songs that are amazing when you first listen to them, but after listening to them more times, you will get tired of them. This kind of song can quickly reach the top of the list, but it may not stay on the list for a long time.
There are some songs that you really never tire of listening to. After listening to them once, you still want to listen to them again. Even if you listen to them ten times in a row, you won’t be bored if you listen to them again tomorrow. After listening to it for a few months, I still enjoy it, it can still bring back memories in your heart and make you resonate with it.
A song like this is the kind of song that can stay on the charts for a long time.
"Onion" is such a song.
This kind of song that can dominate the charts for a long time must be liked by most fans. It will not be very controversial and suits the taste of most people. Even if some people don't like the song, they won't find fault with it.
So this type of song is very suitable for attracting SMS votes.
What if your opponent sings "Xingqing"? The bonus of Jay Chou's famous song is really useless in front of this kind of chart-topping song.
In the end, both PK contestants had finished singing. At this time, Zhang Wei and Wang Bo stood in the middle of the stage at the same time.
After a few routine and sensational lines, the counting of the SMS voting was also terminated, and then came the counting of votes.
"Let's look at the single digits first. Wang Bo's single digit is 9, and Zhang Wei's single digit is 7!"
As the host's voice fell, each appeared on the big screen behind them. the first number.
Single digits for tens of thousands of votes are meaningless, so Zhang Wei had no expression on his face and didn't take it to heart.
“Looking at the tens digit again, Wang Bo’s tens digit is 4, and Zhang Wei’s tens digit is 6!”
“In the hundreds digit, Wang Bo’s hundreds digit is 5, Zhang Wei’s hundreds digit is 7!”
On the big screen, the number under Wang Bo is 549, and the number under Zhang Wei is 767
Zhang Wei looked back at the big screen, sighed softly, and thought that he couldn't do it more neatly, one-time After applying, you have to jump out of your teeth in single digits. If it is within a hundred digits, it will not affect the final good result at all.
“Next is the key thousands digit!” The host deliberately played a long note, and then said: “Wang Bo’s thousands digit is 0, and Zhang Wei’s thousands digit is 9!”
"Next is the digit of tens of thousands, and Wang Bo's digit of tens of thousands is 5!"
On the big screen, the number below Wang Bo changed to 50549, which was Wang Bo's final number of votes.
"Next, let us reveal Zhang Wei's number of votes! Zhang Wei's thousandth digit is 4!"
The number under Zhang Wei's name changed to 49767.
"What's going on? Eight hundred votes less than Wang Bo?" Zhang Wei was shocked.
"How can the song "Onion" be inferior to Wang Bo's mediocre "Xingqing"! It seems that this shady story was indeed done by the program team!"
Zhang Wei felt a ray of anger in his heart.
The audience at the scene was also in an uproar, and they all looked incredulous.
The camera showed three more judges. The three judges also looked surprised. They looked at each other in confusion, as if asking each other why this happened! How could Zhang Wei lose with such a good song? Are all the viewers in front of the TV deaf? Can't you tell what's the good song?
Only the manager on the jury of thirteen experts applauded excitedly.
Wang Bo actually won!
Zhang Wei’s song "Onion" can be called a divine song. Under such circumstances, Wang Bo actually won!
What a piece of shit luck!
However, the manager was only happy for three seconds before the host picked up the microphone again: "Next, let us reveal the last digit!"
"What? And the last one? Single digit?”
This sudden change caused the expressions of everyone present to change again.
At the same time, on the big screen, the number 49767 below Zhang Wei suddenly had a 1 in front.
Zhang Wei’s final number of votes was 149,767!
One hundred thousand more votes than the opponent, crush him directly!
