She wore a long white dress like flowing neon clothes, tied around Yingying's waist, her long black and smooth hair was combed into a princess braid, her embroidered eyebrows and her speaking eyes were like the clouds and moon on Wushan Mountain.
Perhaps because of the lighting, she stood in the center of the stage like a real princess.
Naturally beautiful and radiant.
In the audience.
Two freshmen from Jiangcheng University whispered quietly.
"That seems to be the senior sister from our school."
"It seems to be from the music department."
"My sister is too beautiful..."
"I feel like a star."
"You must be a star. Last year, you were a little popular because of Jialanyu. But this year, you seem to be focusing on your studies. I haven't heard of participating in any movies."
After staring at the stage for a while, Zhou Xuan muttered softly.
"It feels a bit familiar."
"A little bit, indeed."
"Ah, ah, I remember," Zhou Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Lao Zheng next to him, "Do you still remember the person who often ate with Hao Yun in the cafeteria?"
"is her?!"
"That's her! Look carefully."
"I'll give it a try, it's really..."
Not just in the audience.
The "mentors" at the judges' table also looked surprised.
Especially Liu Shiyao, the little queen of the singing world.
Seeing the little girl's bright eyes, white teeth, and radiant appearance, the twenty-six-seven-year-old suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, feeling both envy and a little bit jealous.
Lin Mengmeng introduced the mentors on the judges’ bench to the audience.
In addition to the popular male singer Hu Yanshu who is familiar to Xia Kingdom players, Xu Shaoyuan who has always been at the top of the singles list, and the little singing queen Liu Shiyao, there are also pianist Pella from Italy, and Jiangcheng University Music Department Sun Yu, honorary professor and well-known music critic in China.
Whether it is elegant or vulgar, whether it is pop music or classical instrument performance, the experts on the judges' bench are good at covering almost all fields.
After each stage performance, the instructor will comment on the player's work, and the players will ultimately vote and score to select the best work of the World of Warcraft Music Festival.
End of prologue.
Hu Yanshu took the stage and sang a song "The Last Stand" written for World of Warcraft. Amid the screams of the fans, the atmosphere of the audience was pushed to a peak.
Next up was Xu Shaoyuan.
The singer from DaMi Entertainment changed his usual fresh style and sang "For the Horde", a wild electronic rock song, which ignited the enthusiasm of all the Azeroth players in the audience.
Next on the stage was the little queen of the singing world. She sang "The Frozen Throne" to express the domineering queen's royal sister style.
Then there is the rock band King from Eastern Europe, "Burning Legion" presented by lead singer Alex, bassist Camille and others. Although the lyrics are difficult to understand, the passionate melody makes people excited.
Looking at Xu Shaoyuan who returned to the judges' table from the backstage, Hu Yanshu said with a surprised look on his face.
"Okay, you still have this style."
Xu Shaoyuan smiled shyly and said modestly.
"Brother Hu, you are still far behind."
Hu Yanshu waved his hands politely and said: "What's the matter! Your song "For the Tribe" really sang the majestic feeling in the game. I can't do it. I didn't express the feeling in the game at all. Sing it with feeling.”
Liu Shiyao pursed her lips and smiled, jokingly saying from the side.
"You two should stop exchanging commercial blows. It sounds too Versailles."
Hu Yanshu said with a smile: "There is no such thing as business flattery, I really think so. And the same goes for our Shi Yao, her queenly style is so awesome! Even I am a fan."
Liu Shiyao felt proud, but she still smiled and said a few words of modesty.
The other two guests did not participate in their conversation, but they were also exchanging comments in a low voice, discussing some insights on music theory and some feelings about this music festival.
"... The singers invited by the organizer are all excellent. Although I can't understand the lyrics, the melody and timbre are all first-rate. There is no doubt about this. However, I still feel a little regretful that I did not hear that This is a work that shocks the soul." The old man from Italy said in broken Mandarin.
Sun Yu said helplessly.
"Is it a soul-shaking feeling? Mr. Pelard, your demands are too high. This is just an ordinary commercial performance, not a professional one."
Pelade: "I know, so I'm just a little regretful."
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect Jiangcheng TV station to invite you here," Sun Yu said in surprise, "I thought you wouldn't participate in such activities."
Although he does not have as many fans as the three celebrities next to him, the pianist from Italy is no less popular than them. Not to mention the international awards he has won and the national performances he has attended, the fact that many well-known composers are his students is enough to illustrate his status in the music industry.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a big boss to be interested in this kind of business performance.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Perarde never felt that he was interested in this music festival, nor did he feel that he could hear works that stood out to him here.
However…
"That's what I said," Pella said sheepishly after coughing, "but they gave me too much."
Sun Yu: "..."
The four singles released earlier were all custom-made with official money. They have been scheduled to be recorded on the original soundtrack album and included in the Karazhan Opera House, and will not participate in the final selection.
It is placed at the beginning of the concert mainly to warm up the venue and ignite the atmosphere in the stadium.
After King's program ended, it was quickly time for the players' program.
The first person to take the stage was an online singer, dressed in a rather unique style and holding a guitar. I was a little excited when I went on stage and almost fell down accidentally. Fortunately, Lin Mengmeng cleverly smoothed things over and resolved the embarrassment.
After singing.
The instructors sitting at the judges' table took turns to comment on the songs.
Hu Yanshu: "The sound is good, but to be honest, the melody of the song needs to be strengthened."
Xu Shaoyuan: "The singing is quite good, with a sense of fantasy, but the lyrics may need more work."
Liu Shiyao smiled and nodded.
"I have a different view from the other two judges. In fact, the singing was pretty good, but I always felt that it lacked a touch."
Pella shook her head and said nothing.
Sun Yu gave some professional suggestions.
Although he did not receive high praise, the new singer was still very grateful to be reviewed by so many big names. After bowing and thanking him, he turned around and walked off the stage.
The audience voting results came out quickly, with a total of 1,120 likes. It seems that the willingness to vote is not very strong.
Maybe, as the judges said, it has something to do with the fact that it didn't impress the audience.
Soon, the next singer came on stage.
The singer is very young, only about 20 years old. He is introduced as a sophomore at the School of Software Engineering of Jiangcheng University. Playing guitar and writing songs are his spare time hobbies. He was popular on Yinke.com before.
Between the auditorium.
Zhou Xuan excitedly pulled Zheng Xueqian's arm and pointed to the stage.
"Fuck, look, look, your brother Ziyuan is up."
Lao Zheng was not too excited, but sighed.
"Old Liang."
"I hope he can sing something from the underworld."
The prelude begins.
The name of the song is "Orc", the lyrics and music were written by Liang Ziyuan himself, and this is also the first time that he has sung a song that he wrote and composed in public.
It can be seen that Liang Ziyuan was a little nervous on stage, but his performance was normal. What surprised Lao Zheng the most was that although this guy couldn't pronounce the words clearly when he sang, it was quite touching to hear the surprise.
how to say
Although the melody is a bit jerky, the rhythm is very strong!
"I'll go, this guy can do it," Lao Zheng, who took off his earplugs and looked at the stage in surprise, said, "I thought he was definitely going to overturn."
"How could it possibly overturn? This kind of show would have been rehearsed before. If it had turned over, it would have been screened out during the rehearsal," Zhou Xuan glanced at him sideways and said, "You can't have any confidence in our Ziyuan."
"hehe."
Although he was joking, Zheng Xueqian was still very happy to see that his good brother finally realized his dream.
On the judges' bench.
His index finger tapped the table gently following the rhythm, and Hu Yanshu nodded thoughtfully.
"The rhythm is very strong! But... the lyrics are a little unclear."
Xu Shaoyuan: "Out of ten, I can give it six."
Liu Shiyao smiled and said: "The young man is quite handsome, but his composition and lyrics are still a little weak."
"After all, it's a hobby, and it's already very strong to reach this level."
Sun Yu still gave some professional advice. Perhaps because he was an alumnus, he spoke a little more than before, and Liang Ziyuan also listened attentively.
Pella's face remained expressionless, but after a while he nodded slightly, but then shook his head again.
The voting session begins.
Zhou Xuan and Zheng Xueqian voted without hesitation, but the result was only over 1,400, which was less than 300 votes more than the previous contestant.
"Why are so many people not voting?"
"...I feel like the previous songs have whetted the audience's appetite," Zhou Xuan sighed and said, "Actually, Brother Ziyuan sang well, but compared with big stars like Hu Yanshu and Xu Shaoyuan, the gap is still small. Small."
Old Zheng shook his head and said.
"These big guys' songs shouldn't be at the beginning."
Zhou Xuan nodded.
"I think so too... but who wants it to be a song paid for by the official government?"
While the two were talking, the contestants who sang on the stage had already walked off the stage, and the host Lin Mengmeng returned to the stage.
"The person who is about to take the stage is a special guest."
After hearing these words, the restless gymnasium became quiet again.
A pair of eyes focused on the stage.
Especially Azeroth players.
Many people have already guessed who she will say next.
"He is the creator of all legends in Azeroth, a game producer loved by countless players, and the holder of the highest winning streak in Warcraft -"
"No defeat so far!"
"He said that music was not his strong point, but when the players called on him, he still chose to stand up."
"He also said that this music is a gift to all Azeroth players."
She raised her voice and said in a voice full of emotion.
"Let's welcome him with a round of applause—"
"And the song "Prelude to the Dead" from another world!"
