Before Ru Ke's explosion, Wang Qian and Chen Xiaowen had always been the most talked-about contestants in this season of The Voice of China.
Because the two of them showed strength that was clearly one level ahead of the other contestants!
The Voice of China officials have also always used these two as publicity hotspots!
Therefore, from the beginning, the two of them had a feeling that they would become ultimate enemies.
but!
Wang Qian's performance is always better than Chen Xiaowen's.
Therefore, no one thought that Chen Xiaowen would be a real threat to Wang Qian. At most, she could only be considered a potential threat.
Even so, later Chen Xiaowen began to sing her own original songs, and each time they were excellent songs, and her singing was extremely beautiful, with very good results. She quickly gained first-tier popularity and was called a popular little queen.
However, everyone still feels that there is some gap between Chen Xiaowen and Wang Qian, not only in popularity, but also in all aspects such as strength and talent.
Before this show starts.
No one thought that Chen Xiaowen would eliminate Wang Qian. Everyone was just looking forward to their performance and singing four original songs. This was a musical feast they had not enjoyed for a long time.
No matter who wins or loses, they will all be able to hear four great songs they have never heard before.
This is what they are most looking forward to.
But…
Chen Xiaowen's performance at the beginning immediately ignited the scene and all the audience watching the live broadcast.
Chen Xiaowen's performance exceeded everyone's expectations of her.
Just as the four mentors said, the two's singing was almost perfect.
There are almost no flaws to be found.
On major social platforms, countless heated discussions about Chen Xiaowen's performance instantly broke out.
"My ears are pregnant after listening to it. It's so beautiful and touching."
"It was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I spent it alone. When I was video chatting with my family, I felt a little sad, just like Xiaowen sang this song. I like this song very much."
"Can I say that I am fascinated by Chen Xiaowen? She is so handsome, simple and refreshing, but she sings so beautifully."
"Wow, I almost cried when I heard it, it was so beautiful, Xiaowen is amazing, and Teacher Hu's singing skills are still as good as ever, this is a great combination."
"I've already followed Xiaowen. From now on I'm her fan. It's so beautiful."
"I just hope Xiaowen can upload it quickly so I can download it."
"Where's Professor Wang? Professor Wang is in trouble now. Is he really going to be eliminated by Chen Xiaowen?"
"It would be really fun if Chen Xiaowen eliminated Professor Wang."
…
There is constant heated discussion on this.
Li Qingyao was gently scrolling through Weibo. Seeing that almost all the messages were praising Chen Xiaowen, she frowned slightly, then continued to look at Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang on the TV screen and said softly, "This song is really nice! Chen Xiaowen has improved again. It's amazing!"
Li Qingyao's tone was a little solemn, and a little envious.
If she had such musical talent, she wouldn't care about the attitude of the agency.
No matter if you are an agent or an entertainment group, if you dare to show disrespect to me, I will turn around and leave immediately...
Unfortunately, she does not have the qualifications. Her ability is only a small factor in her success today, but the bigger reason is the company's hype and resources.
However, a trace of worry also appeared on her face: "I don't know if Wang Qian can handle it."
…
Ru Ke and several members of the Baojia Street Band also sat in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast of this episode of The Voice of China together.
When Chen Xiaowen finished singing.
The members of the Baojia Street Band were all silent.
They looked at each other and saw the solemnity and a hint of surprise in the eyes of the others.
Zhu Qiqi whispered, "Is this genius? I feel like Xiaowen's song is really great, the arrangement and lyrics are excellent, and the two people's singing is flawless, almost perfect! When did the people in the Central Conservatory of Music become so awesome? I feel like I'm in a fake Central Conservatory of Music."
Several people smiled bitterly after hearing this.
We both graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, why is there such a big gap between them
Among the few people, only Ru Ke can compete with Chen Xiaowen, and the others can only carry shoes.
Xiong Jia said in surprise: "Professor Wang will not be eliminated by Chen Xiaowen, right?"
Several people widened their eyes.
They are already thinking about the final match against Wang Qian.
As for their next opponent Ma Rufei, they didn't take him seriously.
Just an original folk singer!
Not taken seriously by them.
But now, they discovered that Chen Xiaowen was really strong.
If Wang Qian was eliminated, they would be in trouble facing Chen Xiaowen, and would be eliminated if they were not careful.
They don't think they are stronger than Wang Qian.
Yang Zixuan said loudly: "Impossible, I support Professor Wang to win, he hasn't even appeared yet, his performance will definitely be better than Chen Xiaowen's song."
Ru Ke said softly, "Yes, don't jump to conclusions. Professor Wang hasn't performed a single game yet. Even if he loses to Chen Xiaowen, there's still a second performance. If they win one and lose the other, they'll probably have to play an extra game."
Zhu Qiqi: "This competition system doesn't seem very smart!"
Ru Ke laughed and said, "I don't know. The production team seemed to have decided it on purpose to increase suspense! Either they win 2-0, or they tie at 1-1 and play off a game, which increases the uncertainty."
Yang Zixuan asked: "Guess which guest Professor Wang invited?"
Several people shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Then, everyone watched the live broadcast on TV quietly.
The host interviewed Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang during their performance: "It was so beautiful, Xiaowen. I was stunned! Your voice, combined with this song, made me feel like a fairy walking down from the moon."
After listening to what the host Daji said, several people thought about it for a moment and felt that it really seemed to be the case.
Chen Xiaowen looked so calm and cool when she was singing, with the temperament of a fairy from the Moon Palace, especially when the Peking Opera coloratura appeared, it was most stunning. It's a pity that her clothes were too simple, casual and ordinary. If she wore a palace dress and did some styling, it would really look like one.
Chen Xiaowen said softly: "Thank you, actually I feel there is still room for improvement. The teachers praised me too much."
Daji smiled and said, "Xiao Wen is really modest. With such a high score, she still thinks she can improve. Do you think there is a possibility of eliminating Professor Wang next?"
Chen Xiaowen smiled and said, "I just want to be a listener and listen to Professor Wang's singing. It doesn't matter who wins or loses! Besides, as long as I don't get a perfect score, it won't be perfect. Besides, there are audience votes."
Daji looked at Hu Wenjiang and said, "Teacher Hu, how would you rate your performance?"
Hu Wenjiang smiled and said, "Xiao Wen wants full marks, so I'll give her full marks!"
Daji gave a thumbs up and said, "You two really scored full marks. All right, you two go take a break first, and then we will invite the second contestant to come on stage, Professor Wang Qian!"
Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang bowed again to express their gratitude to the four teachers and many audience members present, then turned and walked towards the exit.
And at the export.
Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan, as well as Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin were already waiting there.
He Dongming was talking to Wang Qian: "Qianzi, don't feel pressured. Chen Xiaowen's performance was truly unbeatable. Just keep up the good work."
Wang Qian rolled his eyes at He Dongming and said, "Are you here to cheer me up, or are you here to cause trouble?"
He Dongming smiled and said nothing, but the encouragement and a hint of worry in his eyes were real.
Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang walked over and met Wang Qian and others.
Chen Xiaowen smiled calmly, and walked to Wang Qian with small steps, like a primary school student. She looked at Wang Qian and said, "Professor Wang, how was my performance just now?"
Chen Xiaowen's face was full of anticipation and her eyes were full of innocence, as if she was a student seeking credit and praise in front of the teacher.
This is completely different from the Chen Xiaowen when she first met Wang Qian.
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Xiaowen's innocent and expectant eyes, and immediately smiled and nodded: "It's great, we were all stunned by it, it was so beautiful. I am impressed by your talent and singing skills, I guess I can't compare to you."
Wang Qian wanted to say that in terms of pure talent, he was far inferior to Chen Xiaowen!
However, he could only speak vaguely.
only…
Obviously no one believed this.
Chen Xiaowen put her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "Professor Wang is too modest. I will never be able to catch up with your talent in this lifetime. I will watch your performance here. I am closer and can see it more clearly."
Wang Qian didn't mind: "Of course, if the production team doesn't kick you out."
He Dongming spread his hands, indicating that he would not chase anyone away, as long as they did not walk into the camera.
After talking to Wang Qian and receiving his praise, Chen Xiaowen looked at Liu Shengnan and said, "Senior, I look forward to your performance."
Liu Shengnan looked at Chen Xiaowen with some appreciation: "Well, this time we sang Professor Wang's song, so I just contributed my voice, it doesn't count as my performance. Your performance is really amazing."
Chen Xiaowen smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior..."
There was no atmosphere of tension between the two sides.
It was like chatting with very good friends.
Moreover, Chen Xiaowen and Liu Shengnan's dress styles are almost the same.
Liu Shengnan was also wearing jeans and a white T-shirt at the moment, and she also had an ivory tower temperament that was not tainted by the world. The two of them looked like two students in school chatting together.
Hu Wenjiang, Jiang Yu, and Murong Yue were all ignored.
Sun Jing who was waiting over there was completely ignored.
He Dongming heard Zhou Qinghua's voice in his headset: "Dongming, hurry up and let Professor Wang and the others go on stage."
He Dongming immediately said to Wang Qian and the others, "Everyone, the time is up, it's Wang Qian's turn to go on stage."
Wang Qian waved to Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang, then waved to Qin Xuerong who was separated not far away, and nodded and smiled at Liu Shengnan and the others, then walked out of the exit with steady steps.
Behind them, followed Liu Shengnan, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin.
The camera immediately turned to their group of people!
When Wang Qian appeared.
Warm applause broke out, and many people made written comments on the Internet.
"Professor Wang is here."
"What will Professor Wang sing?"
"Who is following Professor Wang?"
"Fuck, is that true? Am I seeing things? Is that Liu Shengnan following behind Professor Wang?"
"It seems like it's really Shengnan. Has the missing person been captured by Professor Wang?"
"Shengnan, if you are threatened, just blink your left eye. If you are kidnapped, just blink your right eye."
"I was wondering why Professor Wang kept it a secret. So it turned out to be this bomb?"
"I have to say, this is the real king bomb."
"Oh my god, I thought the combination of Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang was the best. It seems I was too careless. The one coming out now is the real best."
"Speak loudly, Professor Wang, Liu Shengnan..."
"This combination is something I never dared to imagine in my dreams. Professor Wang and Liu Shengnan? Did they just announce the ending?"
…
Almost all the audience were shocked by Liu Shengnan's appearance.
No one thought that the guest invited by Wang Qian would be Liu Shengnan.
Discussions about the two people have almost exploded on all major platforms.
Li Qingyao, who was watching the TV screen, was also stunned.
To be honest, she also fantasized that Wang Qian might invite her as a guest, but then she realized that this was impossible. She knew her own weight and had just barely stepped into the threshold of a professional singer. If it was the Voice of China in previous years, she would have the confidence to show up on the stage, but this year's Voice of China contestants were all monsters. If she went, she would only bring humiliation to herself and hold Wang Qian back.
Therefore, she knew that she had no chance. Even if she was really invited by Wang Qian, she might have the self-awareness to refuse, not wanting to hold Wang Qian back.
However, she thought that Wang Qian would invite many other people, but she didn't think of Liu Shengnan!
This is also someone that no one else has thought of.
Because Liu Shengnan is so unique.
I won’t participate in any variety shows, no matter what they are, and I will refuse any invitation from anyone.
Even the Spring Festival Gala can be rejected.
How could such an independent and pure musician accept Wang Qian’s invitation
Li Qingyao really wanted to ask: Why
…
The members of the Baojia Street Band were also dumbfounded at this moment.
Xiong Jia widened her eyes and asked, "Is that Liu Shengnan?"
Zhu Qiqi: "It seems so..."
Yang Zixuan said loudly: "Professor Wang is so honorable, isn't he? He even invited Senior Sister Liu Shengnan? This is Senior Sister Liu Shengnan's first time on a variety show, and her first time accepting an invitation, right? She even refused the Spring Festival Gala that year!"
Yan Ru frowned and said, "Who can beat the combination of the two of them? What if we meet them in the finals? Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang performed perfectly just now, but when I saw them, I think Chen Xiaowen is in trouble again."
Ru Ke said softly, "Indeed, Chen Xiaowen is probably doomed! If she loses even after such a perfect performance, there is really nothing to say."
After hearing what Ru Ke said, everyone was speechless!
In their opinion, the performances of Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang were so powerful that they were close to perfection.
If it were put on any domestic program, it would be a king bomb and no one could stop it.
No matter who comes, it won’t work!
The same goes for Baojia Street. At best they can draw. It is almost impossible for them to win.
It has almost reached the ceiling of the Chinese pop music circle.
but…
I saw Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan walking out together.
They all felt that the ceiling might be even higher.
…
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
There were even shouts of "Come on, Shengnan!" and "I love you, Shengnan!" from the audience.
Obviously, there are fans of Liu Shengnan here too.
The four mentors also stood up and applauded Liu Shengnan and Wang Qian to show their respect.
Liu Shengnan's status is not inferior to theirs, and her current popularity is even higher than theirs. Her musical talent, strength and character are impeccable.
The host Daji said exaggeratedly: "Wow, when Liu Shengnan and Professor Wang came out, everyone's applause was a little too enthusiastic, right? Is the applause for Liu Shengnan or for Professor Wang?"
No one answered him, but the applause became even louder and the audience in the auditorium clapped even harder.
Liu Shengnan stood next to Wang Qian, appearing very dignified and quiet. She did not try to steal the spotlight, but could not be ignored. She just nodded and smiled at the four mentors, and then did not say anything else. However, her frank and unique temperament made everyone unable to take their eyes off her.
In comparison, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, who are both good-looking, are inferior to Liu Shengnan in terms of temperament.
The applause gradually died down.
The host asked, "Professor Wang, how did you invite Shengnan to be a guest? Our program team invited Shengnan to be a mentor, but Shengnan ignored us!"
Liu Shengnan raised the corners of her mouth slightly but said nothing, as if the host was not talking about her.
Wang Qian said calmly: "When the program team said they wanted to invite a guest singer, I thought about it and realized that there weren't many people I could invite. Because I'm a newcomer who just debuted, I know very few people in the industry. Basically, I met them on The Voice of China. They were either contestants or mentors. I can't invite them to help me sing, right?"
"Okay, the only person we can invite is the singer's friend, and that's Liu Shengnan."
"So, I called her and asked her to help. Then, she agreed and came to rehearse with me that afternoon."
"Liu Shengnan is a very good friend."
Wang Qian said this calmly.
But…
The scene became very quiet, almost eerily quiet.
The four mentors are all people in the circle, and of course they paid attention to this talented singer when Liu Shengnan first became famous.
However, they all knew that this person was notoriously difficult to approach.
Because you can't touch her at all...
Some people compare Liu Shengnan to a cat.
No matter whether you are a small shot or a big shot, no matter whether you are poor or rich.
She doesn't even bother to pay attention to you.
Now, Wang Qian just made a phone call and asked Liu Shengnan to rush from Chengdu to Xihu City that afternoon.
this…
People in the industry who are in the know don’t know what to say.
The host Daji looked at Liu Shengnan, who was standing quietly beside Wang Qian, and boldly asked, "Shengnan, is what Professor Wang said true?"
Liu Shengnan nodded gently: "Yes, what Professor Wang said is true. When I received his call, I packed my things and rushed over. I wanted to rehearse with him as soon as possible so as not to delay Professor Wang's performance."
Daji asked again: "Then why did you break your previous habit and come to the variety show?"
Liu Shengnan calmly replied: "Because Professor Wang invited me, I couldn't refuse a friend's request."
Daji asked, "Why can't you refuse?"
Liu Shengnan smiled: "Because we are friends!"
Daji: "Why didn't you accept invitations from other friends before? As far as I know, in the past ten years, many people have invited you to their shows, and even the Spring Festival Gala has invited you, but you rejected them all. Why is that?"
Everyone at the scene, the audience, the mentors, the entire program crew, as well as Jiang Yu and Murong Yue, all looked at Liu Shengnan curiously, wanting to know the answer!
The audience in front of the TV pricked up their ears to know Liu Shengnan's answer.
Because quite a lot of them are fans of Liu Shengnan. Even if they are not fans, they have basically heard Liu Shengnan's songs and know what kind of singer she is.
So, everyone wants to know Liu Shengnan's answer.
Liu Shengnan replied softly: "You made a mistake."
Daji was puzzled: "What!"
Liu Shengnan said affirmatively: "I don't have any other friends."
Everyone was stunned.
Daji: "What do you mean? Shengnan, are you saying that you have no other friends except Professor Wang?"
Facing Daji's gaze, Liu Shengnan nodded affirmatively after a few shots: "Yes, I only have one friend, Professor Wang, so I only accepted his invitation."
This answer...
Obviously no one expected this.
You are so old, around 30 years old, right? You don’t have any friends
Kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, graduate student, doctoral student...
I have met so many classmates along the way...
You don't have a friend
How long have Liu Shengnan and Wang Qian known each other
Become the only friend
Don't believe it!
Except Wang Qian.
The other people on the stage, the host, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, He Fulin and others all showed expressions of disbelief.
They all thought that this might be Liu Shengnan's excuse.
only…
Liu Shengnan's face remained calm and confident.
The host Daji was stunned for a second, then quickly asked, "Then Shengnan, why didn't you have a friend before?"
Liu Shengnan said calmly: "Because I don't want to!"
The host actually wanted to dig deeper into this gossip topic.
This is Liu Shengnan's first appearance on a variety show, and she is definitely the object of everyone's attention and the one they want to know about. If we dig deeper into the gossip about Liu Shengnan, it will definitely attract a large number of viewership ratings, as well as a super topic after the show, and both the host and the program team will benefit.
However, Daji knew that going too far would make Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan unhappy.
So, he stopped.
Zhou Qinghua also waved to Daji from the audience, signaling him to stop.
Backstage entrance.
Hu Wenjiang asked Chen Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, do all geniuses have such personalities?"
Chen Xiaowen smiled and said, "I don't know, but I don't have many friends. Professor Wang is both a teacher and a friend."
…
The host Daji quickly changed the topic and asked, "Professor Wang, Shengnan, what do you think of Xiaowen and Teacher Hu's performance just now?"
Wang Qian: “Very good, I like it very much.”
Liu Shengnan: "Very good, I like it too."
Almost the same answer.
Daji looked at the two of them and continued to ask, "Are you confident that you can win against them? What song have you prepared today?"
Wang Qian held the microphone and said softly, "You don't have enough confidence to win. Xiaowen and Teacher Hu's singing is really great, and there is no flaw in their singing skills. Now I just want to sing our own songs well. The song I sang today is not a rock song. This is also the first time I sing a non-rock song on this stage."
“A very heartfelt and relatively simple song!”
Daji smiled and said, "Wow, I'm so looking forward to it. I believe everyone wants to listen to it. Then I won't be an eyesore here. Now please enjoy the duet song by Professor Wang and Shengnan."
After a pause, Daji looked at the prompt board below and said, "Song title: Because of Love!"
Because of love
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard the title of the song.
certainly.
I was mainly surprised by what Wang Qian said, that this was the first time he sang a non-rock song on the Voice of China stage.
Everyone is gradually getting used to listening to Wang Qian's rock and roll voice that hits the eardrums and the soul...
Now, suddenly it's different!
Everyone was a little surprised and looking forward to it!
Everyone at the scene pricked up their ears.
The four mentors sat upright and concentrated, not wanting to miss any details so that they could give Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan the most objective evaluation and scores.
Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang, who were standing at the door, also listened attentively without making a sound.
…
All the audience sitting in front of the TV outside the venue put down everything they were doing, stopped sending messages, stopped chatting, stopped eating snacks, and just stared at Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan on the TV screen!
I don't know why.
Everyone watched the two of them appear on camera together.
There is a feeling of enjoyment.
seem…
The two of them just stood there, and the notes flowed out of their bodies and into their hearts.
An inexplicable music sounded in everyone's heart.
The music hasn't started yet.
Not a single word was sung.
Just seeing the picture of the two of them and the expressions in their eyes.
Many, many people have a sense of remembrance in their hearts.
Those who don’t understand don’t think much about it.
However, those who understand are all shocked!
Ru Ke said softly, "These two are true masters of interpretation! They have already brought out the mood of the song before they even started singing. Amazing, amazing! Apart from other things, in terms of emotional expression and interpretation, they have already surpassed Chen Xiaowen and Hu Wenjiang."
Yan Ru also praised: "Yes, when I saw the two of them, my heart was inexplicably sad."
Yang Zixuan: "I feel a little flustered..."
…
Li Qingyao looked at the two people on the TV screen, her heart ached and she almost cried.
She hurriedly got up and walked to the bedroom, rummaged through the innermost part of the closet and found a box, then took it out and placed it on the coffee table.
Her tears could no longer be stopped and burst out like a flood.
The box was filled with photos of her and Wang Qian.
The top photo is the wedding photo of the two...
At that time, Wang Qian was wearing a black suit and had a 3:7 hairstyle. He looked very young and more handsome than he is now, but not as mature as he is now. However, there was already some vicissitudes in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Li Qingyao was standing nearby, smiling happily. She was wearing a bright red ancient Chinese costume, which made her look elegant and beautiful.
Times have changed…
Things are different and people have changed.
“Woo woo woo…”
Li Qingyao burst into tears, holding the photo in both hands, tightly in her arms, feeling pain all over her body.
She didn't know why she thought of these things and dug them out.
only…
She felt the mood and emotion of the song performed by Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan, and couldn't help but do it.
…
Inside another villa in Magic City.
Qin Xuehong sat on the sofa in her pajamas, curled up in a ball, watching Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan on TV, tears streaming down her cheeks, she murmured in a low voice: "You will never marry me in this life, I hope you can marry Xuerong..."
…
Qin Xuerong was also looking at the two people on the stage from the backstage at this time, feeling a little panicked.
She looked at Liu Shengnan, thinking a lot in her mind, but quickly suppressed her panic. A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She gently applauded Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan with a very natural expression!
…
Wang Qian and Liu Shengnan on the stage actually did nothing.
The mood of the song was interpreted naturally. The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be strong and unbreakable emotions in their eyes.
The music starts!
A very simple guitar intro.
However, it fits the current atmosphere and mood very well.
A nostalgic and sad atmosphere arises spontaneously.
