Except for the guest performances at the beginning.
Now, it is Wang Qian’s first official performance as a player in the world competition.
The audience at the scene and even in the world's top ten regions were looking at Wang Qian on the stage with scrutiny!
Although, the opening song "Magic City Rhapsody" made everyone feel amazed and witnessed Wang Qian's amazing musical talent!
However, that kind of music obviously cannot be used as a competition piece.
The best voices in the world, just as the name suggests.
It’s for singing!
This is not the World's Best Piano Program.
To say.
Among all the people around the world watching Wang Qian's performance right now, who are the most nervous
Without a doubt!
It must be the other players who competed with Wang Qian.
Because each of them regarded Wang Qian as their potential opponent.
Even Sophie, who had a good relationship with Wang Qian, and Miyuki Nakamori, who was almost becoming a fan of Wang Qian, felt a little nervous.
Because Sophie and Miyuki Nakamori also hope to get the best results!
Each of the ten players is a talented player who has fought his way from his own national region to the final regional champion position, and each of them has his own championship pride.
if you can!
Who doesn’t want to be the final world champion, who doesn’t want to stand on the highest podium
And Wang Qian!
Without a doubt, he is recognized by the other nine contestants as the most musically talented contestant among them all.
Therefore, every player who wants to win the championship will regard Wang Qian as his strong opponent, and will think about eliminating him when he faces Wang Qian!
Apart from these nine contestants, who is the most nervous
Program team
no!
Ten judges
Not really!
Big Ten audience
Not at all!
But they are the many big companies in the Chinese entertainment industry and the senior executives of the Tengfei platform!
because…
Their plan of flattery and killing has reached the most critical stage of closing the net.
How long will it take to close the net and what will be the effect of the closing
It depends on how long Wang Qian can stand on the stage and what the effect of Wang Qian's performance is...
The sooner Wang Qian is eliminated, the sooner they will close the net, and the more effective their plan will be. Maybe they will be able to kill Wang Qian with one blow and make him disappear from the Chinese entertainment industry.
so!
People like Wang Jianqiang and the senior executives of several other major entertainment companies really hope that Wang Qian will be eliminated after just one performance. That way, Wang Qian will immediately become socially dead, dare not return to China, and can only immigrate to Mars!
The shorter the time is, the fewer resources they will invest. They can now withdraw many publicity resources to promote their own artists and film and television works!
Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Rong were watching the TV screen on the wall in the office.
Seeing a voice that seemed to come from hell coming from the dark stage, they couldn't help but get goose bumps and a sudden inspiration in their hearts.
Oh wow wow…
Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Rong looked at each other, both feeling an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
A trace of solemnity appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.
Looking forward to it!
That means there is a high probability that Wang Qian's performance will be successful.
They are all senior executives of music platform operations with high-level appreciation abilities and professional appreciation standards.
You have to know that not a single line of lyrics had been sung yet, the stage was still pitch black, and Wang Qian himself hadn’t appeared yet!
In the simple prelude, a few eerie chants create such a strong sense of anticipation. It is definitely an amazing prelude start!
The prelude is absolutely important to whether a song can be successful or popular!
Especially in this fast-paced mobile information age, everyone's patience is very limited. If your prelude is not strongly attractive within ten seconds and does not create a sense of anticipation, then the listeners will basically be too lazy to continue listening and will say goodbye to you.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why most popular songs in the pop music scene in all regions of the world are fast-paced electronic music, because this is the choice of the market.
This is also one of the reasons why contestants such as Adam have to adapt previous classic songs before performing them on stage.
If not adapted, most of the classic old songs from twenty or thirty years ago would not be able to adapt to the preferences and pace of life of today's audiences.
certainly!
Those well-known classics of the era can still break the limitations of time and era, and can be performed intact today. They can still attract a lot of people's likes, can still be widely spread around the world, and are recognized by many people!
However, since they are called classics of the era, their number must be very small. In an era, only no more than two hands of classic works can be called classics representing that era.
However, because classic works of the era are too classic, the impression left by the original singer on everyone has been solidified. No matter how later singers cover them, they cannot surpass everyone's inherent impression, and it is difficult to gain everyone's recognition and high scores from the judges.
Therefore, there are basically no classic works of the era among the songs adapted by the contestants of The Voice of China. Most of them are classic old songs of a lower level.
Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Rong would not think that Wang Qian's performance could reach the level of a classic of the era, but listening to this opening prelude, it was really amazing enough, attractive enough, and full of expectations.
Moreover, it is different from the mainstream electronic music style in the current popular world. It has a retro feel, and seems to be the pop rock style of 20 or 30 years ago!
Being able to create such an exciting prelude in a retro rock style definitely requires amazing music creation skills.
All the experts who understand music were able to figure out a lot of information from Wang Qian's prelude in just a few seconds.
Next moment!
Lights on!
However, only one beam of light shone on the center of the stage, where Wang Qian was standing.
There was a microphone in front of Wang Qian. He was holding the microphone with both hands, as if he was going to put it in his mouth. His cheeks were slightly moving, making a sound like hell: "Oh woo woo woo... Oh woo woo woo..."
then!
The four rays of light behind lit up and shone on Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin.
There was also a microphone in front of Zhao Wei. Everyone saw Zhao Wei holding the microphone in his mouth while playing, and together with Wang Qian, he made a sound that seemed to come from hell: "Oh woo woo woo... Oh woo woo woo..."
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and He Fulin also started playing their instruments with great devotion, and the atmosphere on the stage immediately became hot.
The pleasant and manic music gradually sounded.
Wang Qian immediately let go of the microphone and his body shook slightly to the rhythm.
Under everyone's gaze, he picked up the microphone again, holding it up with the pole, and sang into the microphone with a different voice than before:
"This ain't a song for the broke!"
(This song isn't for the sad.)
Listen to Wang Qian’s first sentence.
Jiang Rong stared directly at Wang Qian on the TV screen, her ears almost pricked up, and she quickly said, "Professor Wang's voice is different."
Wang Jianqiang naturally also heard that Wang Qian's singing voice was different this time.
Of course, Wang Qian's voice did not change into a female voice, but this unbridled and shouting voice is completely different from the male voice that sang on the China Voice stage before.
If they hadn't seen Wang Qian performing on the stage and singing into the microphone, they would have suspected that Wang Qian was lip-syncing. The voice didn't seem to be Wang Qian's voice at all!
But, there is no doubt.
It is impossible for Wang Qian to lip-sync on such a stage that is watched by the whole world.
Moreover, the organizers of the North American home venue would never allow Wang Qian to cheat and lip-sync. Once discovered, it would not be a simple scandal. He might be directly expelled from the competition. At that time, there would be no need for them to join forces to praise him. Wang Qian would disappear from the entertainment circle on his own.
certainly.
Jiang Rong believes that Wang Qian has always been a standard of behavior for an artist, and with his artistic style, it is absolutely impossible for him to falsify.
Then, there is only one truth.
That is…
Wang Qian can really change his voice when singing!
This kind of talent is not uncommon, and many have appeared on many so-called talent shows. However, it is only a forced short-term voice change, and it is impossible to maintain it for a long time, let alone sing naturally with full emotions, because maintaining the voice change consumes physical energy and distraction, so it appears very deliberate!
However, Wang Qian in the TV screen obviously did not seem to be trying hard to maintain his voice change. He sang with ease, as if this was his original voice!
"Prayer for the faith-departed."
"God will not protect those who pray without faith."
"I ain't going a fa the crowd."
“I don’t want to be just one of the crowd.”
Wang Qian's singing is unrestrained and full of vigor and spirit.
Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Rong only listened to a few sentences and concluded that this was a very nice song.
Although, they didn't understand the lyrics.
However, on the TV screen, Wang Qian was in high spirits. He walked around the stage with a microphone and pole in hand, turning the pole with one hand. He was not at all stage frightened. He faced more than 20,000 audiences on site and more than one billion audiences around the world. His stage aura was stronger than that of the three contestants who had appeared before.
Whether it is Adam, Sophie, or the equally older contestant Elizabeth, they are all more than one level weaker than Wang Qian in terms of stage aura!
After all, the other contestants are newcomers who do not have much experience in large-scale performances. The biggest stage for them is the Voice of China stage in their region, and there are relatively few performances, so they still look immature and are much weaker than those top world superstars who have many years of experience in large-scale performances!
But…
Wang Qian, standing on the stage at this moment, has such stage aura and easy-going temperament that he seems like a top singer who has been famous in the world music scene for many years and has performed in countless large-scale performances.
Every gesture and movement he makes shows that he is in control of the whole situation. Just by standing there, people can't help but look at him. He has an attractive charm.
That look was looking at the audience of more than 20,000 people, including many world superstars and world-class wealthy people, but Wang Qian seemed to be looking at ordinary people, with no expression in his eyes, still looking down at everyone from a high position.
That momentum shocked everyone in the audience into silence!
Wang Jianqiang said in a bitter voice: "Ah, it seems that our plan is a little difficult. I hope the result will be as expected..."
The result is satisfactory
Then Wang Qian must be eliminated as soon as possible.
But looking at Wang Qian’s first performance, he was not at all stage nervous and performed with ease. It was obvious that he would not be eliminated too early!
Jiang Rong whispered, "This song will definitely be a hit!"
After listening to just a few sentences, Jiang Rong, as a senior executive of the Tengfei platform, immediately judged with her musical literacy that this song would definitely be a hit, and not just ordinary hit, but might become a worldwide hit.
Wang Jianqiang: "Be prepared. After the performance, Wang Qian will definitely upload this song and the piano piece Magic City Rhapsody to the Qianqian Jingting platform!"
Jiang Rong said solemnly, "That's for sure. In this competition, all contestants' songs will be listed on the Billboard for ranking, but the Billboard ranking does not take into account the sales data in the Chinese region. Therefore, in the Chinese region, Qianqian Jingting is the only platform where Wang Qian's songs can be downloaded."
This is also the reason why many Chinese audiences are dissatisfied and criticize the organizers for being unfair and the Billboard rankings for being unfair!
However, major statistical agencies around the world almost never include the sales data of the Chinese region. This is the rule they have maintained for many years, and Chinese audiences and players have no way to deal with it.
At that time, the single of that young idol was ranked in the top ten of a certain small category on the Billboard, and this was also the data that many of his crazy fans in China used to cheat.
If domestic data were calculated, the Billboard rankings would probably be dominated by Chinese singers.
After all, the combined population of Europe and the United States is not as large as that of China, and there are many countries in Europe and the United States, and each country has its own mother tongue, so no song can become a hit single in every country. At most, becoming a hit single in most countries is a remarkable achievement.
However, China has a larger population, and everyone speaks the same language, so naturally, the sales of a hit single will be pushed higher.
For example, the daily download data of a song by Wang Qian on Qian Qian Jing Ting can reach a terrifying 30 to 40 million. This is something that many singers in Europe and the United States would never dare to imagine in their dreams. When they see such data, they will instinctively think that it is fake and that it is a manifestation of fraud by the Chinese. Those statistical agencies will not believe such data.
Jiang Rong's eyes still did not leave Wang Qian on the TV screen, and she felt that she was deeply attracted by this figure.
The clothes she wore were just ordinary, like those worn by ordinary people, but they exuded a charm so strong that it almost overflowed from the TV screen!
Wang Jianqiang asked: "Those first-tier stars all promised to release songs recently, but they haven't taken any action today. What's going on?"
The Tengfei platform has recently invested huge sums of money in many first-line singers and superstars, and finally impressed these singers. Big-name singers release new songs every day, which finally relieved Qianqian Jingting from the huge pressure, and there seems to be a trend of competing with Qianqian Jingting.
However, they all knew that the next step would be a bigger test!
A few days ago, Wang Qian was busy writing a book and did not release any new songs, so Qianqian Jingting's attention was not high, and they could grab some traffic.
But then, the competition officially began, and every time Wang Qian went on stage to sing, it was a major test for them!
Therefore, they contacted several superstar singers in advance and released songs in the latest issue to compete with Wang Qian in the world competition.
Jiang Rong's eyes still didn't leave the TV screen, and she quickly said, "They said they are still in the post-production stage. I think they may be waiting to see if Professor Wang's performance will put pressure on them! Judging from the situation now, we may have to pay more..."
Wang Jianqiang said in a deep voice: "Then strengthen it!"
His eyes did not leave the TV screen. He knew that with a performance like Wang Qian's, those superstars would probably avoid Wang Qian for the sake of their own reputation.
Well, there is no choice but to pay more money.
…
The Chinese internet is also in an uproar at this moment!
Even more lively than before.
The moment Wang Qian opened his mouth, millions of comments about his world game performance appeared every second on major online platforms.
Wang Qian’s Weibo is still the main battlefield.
There are countless densely packed comments, refreshing every second, which is even more exaggerated than the barrage of comments from the most popular anchors. It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 new comments every second!
"My scalp tingles when I hear this. Professor Wang's voice has changed again."
"Wow, is this Professor Wang's voice? It's so beautiful!"
"I remembered what Ru Ke said. She always said that Professor Wang had always been holding back. It wasn't Professor Wang's full strength before. Now it seems that this is the case. This song is so beautiful."
"The prelude alone gave me goosebumps!"
"It sounds good, it sounds good... It sounds so good..."
“Although I don’t understand it, it sounds good.”
"If anyone understands, please translate..."
…
Various self-media and music critics were speaking frantically to get some attention.
A famous music critic said: "Is this all Professor Wang's ability is? It turns out that he is somewhat reserved on the domestic stage. This talent of being able to change the sound at will and still have complete control over it is truly unmatched."
A commentator: "Did you see the stunned looks on the faces of the international superstars at the scene? So refreshing..."
…
Xue Man also spoke on her own account in real time, saying: "Professor Wang's performance aura is absolutely the best in the world, even stronger than on the domestic stage. In addition, the singing style has changed, and the song itself is so beautiful, it is simply a king bomb at the beginning, and the opponent must be stunned!"
…
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have also come out to take advantage of the popularity.
Wu Han immediately sent a message: "Wow, I wanted to go to see Professor Wang's performance, but unfortunately I couldn't buy a ticket! The scalper wanted $20,000 a ticket, and it was for the last row, so I refused. Now watching Professor Wang's wonderful performance on TV, I regret it. Even if it's the last row, it's still live, which is definitely better than watching TV."
…
Zhou Tao sent a series of excited emojis: "I was there and spent $30,000 to buy a middle seat. It was so cool, so cool. Professor Wang was so amazing and the performance was so beautiful. If you are not there, you can't fully appreciate how shocking Professor Wang's powerful performance aura is. My hands are shaking as I type!"
…
Chinese international superstar Zhang Ruoyi posted a picture of herself at the performance, and wrote: "I was invited by the organizer to sit in the front row and watch the opening performance of the Voice of China World Competition up close. I thought the performances of Adam, Sophie, and Elizabeth were already wonderful. Unexpectedly, Professor Wang directly threw out a trump card, and none of them could afford this trump card! Only when you watch it up close do you realize how wonderful it is."
“Professor Wang’s performance is the most exciting live performance I have ever seen.”
Zhang Ruoyi, an international Chinese superstar who has played the second female lead in Hollywood blockbusters, gave Wang Qian a very high evaluation.
…
Viewers all over the world could clearly see on TV the shocked expressions of many big-name stars, entertainers, celebrities and wealthy people in the audience.
Rock music is definitely the most suitable pop music for live performances!
At this moment, Wang Qian interpreted this point almost perfectly on the spot.
One person, four instruments.
He stunned the whole audience, and everyone was stunned into silence for a short period of time by his powerful aura.
Wang Qian came to the front of the stage with a microphone. At the closest distance, he faced the many European and American superstars, celebrities and wealthy people in the audience. He raised his chin slightly, pointed at everyone under the stage, and sang loudly.
"Yonna hear my voice."
(You will hear my voice.)
"When I shout it out loud."
(When I scream out loud.)
“It’s my life.”
(This is my life.)
“It’s now or never.”
(Seize the moment, the opportunity is fleeting.)
"I ain't gonna live forever."
(I don't expect to be immortal.)
"I just want to live while I'm alive."
(I just want to live my life to the fullest while I am alive.)
Wang Qian faced the audience closely and sang loudly: "It's my life!"
The camera also captured this.
Everyone could clearly see on the TV screen that the audience in the front row near Wang Qian were all extremely excited. Among them, more than a dozen big-name stars could not help but wave and interact with Wang Qian.
Even Christine, who had been sitting there quietly and unmoved, smiled and waved gently to Wang Qian.
The camera gave Christine a close-up.
Many people at the scene saw the close-up of Kristen interacting with Wang Qian, so more big stars and wealthy celebrities also waved to Wang Qian.
This is absolutely rare. Kristen is usually very quiet and expressionless at many performances. For those big stars who are performing, Kristen not sleeping is a courtesy.
Interaction? Not happening!
Now, Kristen waved and interacted with Wang Qian...
Wang Qian smiled, turned around suddenly, and raised the microphone pole above his head, turned it around above his head, and then carefully placed it in the center of the stage in front of him. He turned his body and stood in front of the microphone.
Under the original atmosphere and the influence of Wang Qian's powerful stage aura, many audience members couldn't help but scream at Wang Qian!
Wang Qian turned around and stood in front of the microphone and continued singing:
"My heart is like an open highway."
(My heart is like speeding on the road.)
"Like Frankie said."
(Like Frank said.)
“I did it my way.”
(I go my own way.)
"I just wanna live while I'm alive."
(I just want to live my life to the fullest while I am alive.)
“It’s my life.”
(This is my life...)
…
In the audience, Sharon, who was standing next to Kristen, blushed with excitement. She couldn't help but whisper, "God, I can't believe that his stage presence is so strong and he sings so beautifully. His performances are better than the three contestants who came on stage before him. No, they are simply not in the same league!"
Kristen nodded, staring at Wang Qian, recalling in her mind the domineering aura that Wang Qian had when he stood in front of her just now, as if all the superstars, wealthy people and celebrities in the audience were just his foils. There was absolute pride and ego in his eyes!
What kind of self-confidence does it take to have such momentum
Christine thought about herself and felt that she couldn't do it.
Her music is not of this style. She has three concerts a year, and she has never missed the annual Oscars and Grammy performances. Her experience in large-scale performances is definitely the best in the world.
But she can't be as arrogant, free and easy as Wang Qian, and she can sing so beautifully!
Especially...
This sound!
Christine listened carefully and compared it with the singing voice of Wang Qian that she had heard before. The change was so great that it was almost like two different voices!
However, there was no sense of deliberate forced voice change, and the singing was extremely natural and devoted!
It seems that this is his own voice!
No flaws!
This is what makes Christine feel the most incredible.
This Chinese player...
Christine was filled with curiosity.
…
Adam's lounge was also quiet at this moment!
Adam, Eric, and Winston watched Wang Qian's performance on TV silently and listened to Wang Qian's singing carefully.
It was not until Wang Qian paused in the middle of his song that Adam's shocked expression subsided. He couldn't help but ask, "Eric, Winston, has his voice changed again? Why can he do this? Why is his stage presence so strong? Didn't he just debut for half a year? How did he do it?"
Adam's mind is full of questions at this moment. If he were allowed to ask all the questions, he could publish a book of 100,000 Whys.
He wanted to know the answers to these questions!
But how could Eric and Winston know the answer
Both of them were in shock at this moment!
As one of the world's top music producers, Winston has worked with almost half of the big names in the European and American pop music scene, including many of the world's top superstars.
but…
He had never seen Wang Qian's strong stage aura, nor the ability to change his voice at will and sing naturally, in those top European and American singers!
This was incredible to the well-informed Winston.
Singing with a changed voice is not uncommon!
What’s amazing is that he can change into many different voices and still sing naturally!
Many singers have different singing and speaking voices, so there is a contrast, which makes it more attractive.
However, that is the original singing voice, not deliberately changing the voice and then continuing to sing, which would seem unnatural.
And what about Wang Qian
Naturally!
Nothing deliberate.
The emotional expression is also extremely full and natural, and the singing is extremely attractive.
Winston stared at it almost without blinking for more than a minute. With his experience and musical literacy, he could not find any flaws in Wang Qian's voice.
unless…
Lip sync
This idea just came to me.
Winston denied it!
Lip-synching is the most unlikely truth.
Therefore, it could only be Wang Qian’s own real voice.
But why can he do this
In comparison!
Winston could understand Wang Qian's powerful stage presence.
After all, some people are born to be suitable for big scenes, and they are born with a strong aura that matches them in big scenes. It’s just that Wang Qian’s aura is a little too strong at the moment.
When Adam saw that Eric and Winston were still staring at the TV screen in silence and did not answer his question, he immediately realized that they might not know the answer either, and might have been shocked by Wang Qian's performance. He could only remain silent and continue watching Wang Qian's performance.
However, his mood was becoming increasingly heavy.
Compared to Wang Qian's already stunning performance in the China finals, Wang Qian's performance now is obviously more dazzling and more attractive, and is simply a level ahead of him!
why is that
Adam had another question.
If I had known earlier that Wang Qian was so powerful!
He would have started working hard to improve himself early on, instead of relying solely on his talent to crush and defeat his opponents, which has led to him feeling weak now.
…
Sophie is with Elizabeth at the moment.
Because Sophie knew that Elizabeth was nervous, she went to Elizabeth's lounge after her performance to comfort her.
Then, the two of them watched Wang Qian's performance together!
Seeing the powerful aura on the TV screen that almost overflowed from the screen, and the completely different singing voice, both of them were in a state of shock, staring at the TV screen without saying a word!
Until more than a minute passed.
The two looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Sophie asked softly, "So, I want to know, the program team will never allow lip-syncing, right?"
Although I admire Wang Qian's talent very much and like his piano works very much.
However, Sophie couldn't help but think of this possibility at this moment!
Elizabeth had similar thoughts.
As veteran musicians, they all know how incredible it is to be able to change your singing voice like Wang Qian and still sing naturally.
But then Sophie answered her own question: "Of course this is impossible, God, his voice is simply a gift from God!"
Elizabeth also said with admiration: "Yes, this kind of vocal talent, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it. The last time he changed into a female voice to sing the song "I hate myself f you!", I was very amazed. I thought he could only change into a female voice, which was already very rare."
"I didn't expect that he could change and control more sounds. It's incredible!"
Both of them never took their eyes off Wang Qian in the picture. They were attracted by the powerful stage charm emanating from Wang Qian at the moment, and conquered by his magnetic and beautiful singing voice. They didn't want to move their eyes away and didn't want to miss a word of the lyrics!
Sounds good!
nice!
…
In Taylor's lounge.
Dawson quickly added: "There's no doubt that he has an equally strong talent for pop music. He was born for music, whether it's classical or pop."
Taylor's eyes sparkled as he stared at Wang Qian's figure and whispered, "Yes, in the field of music, he is simply perfect!"
He has world-class piano playing skills, piano composition skills comparable to those of historical masters, world-class singing skills, the ability to change voices and sing naturally, and world-class pop music composition skills...
Isn't this the perfect musician
It can almost satisfy all people's fantasies about music...
Taylor clenched his hands tightly together, wishing he could rush onto the stage and hug that figure tightly, and give him everything he had right away!
She felt a little regretful in her heart that she didn't do everything she could to get him in that passage just now!
Even if it was only half an hour, she would be satisfied because that proved that she had him!
…
The show goes on!
Wang Qian's singing voice is spreading all over the world.
The organizers are extremely excited at this moment.
Because the ratings in every region of the world are all soaring!
At this moment, the whole world pricked up its ears for Wang Qian.
