To be honest, Ding Meng has no experience in large-scale performances. Although the scale of 1,000 people is not that large, for her, this is the first time she sings in front of so many people.
After the three judges took their seats, the competition started quickly. Like many other contestants, Ding Meng secretly listened to the host on the stage in the background. The hostess of this game is a famous mouth of A City Satellite TV, and Ding Meng has also watched the variety show hosted by her. After making an enthusiastic opening statement, she began to announce the rules of the game.
"After all the five contestants in each group have finished singing, the three jury will select a contestant who is promoted to enter the strength group, and then the audience will choose one person to enter the popular group, and the next eight-in-four competition , the strength group will fight against the popular group!"
The audience at the scene made various voices. Ding Meng in the backstage thought that the program team would really make a point of view. In the next competition, the popularity group VS the strength group, will the popularity group be wiped out
"The players in the first group are ready, No. 1 is about to play!"
The staff hurriedly organized the players to take their places, and when the host read the name of the No. 1 player, the game officially started. Ding Meng was getting more and more nervous as she listened to the singing of the contestants and the screams from the audience from time to time.
When it was the second group's turn, Tang Shiran was the first to play.
She sang "special", the title song of Sima Xiaoxiao's last album. The dynamic music and powerful drums, coupled with Tang Shiran's explosive voice, pushed today's competition to another climax.
Ding Meng found that Tang Shiran seemed to like Sima Xiaoxiao very much, and almost all the songs she sang during the competition were Sima Xiaoxiao's. But what she likes is Qiao Yichen, after all, Qiao Yichen has always been the queen's official producer.
Although Tang Shiran's singing skills are not as good as that of her superior Ma Xiaoxiao, she still sang the song "special" very well. At the end, the audience gave her warm applause, and the judges also praised her performance just now.
Tang Shiran's singing invisibly put pressure on the other contestants. Ding Meng took a few deep breaths backstage to cheer herself up.
She was the third of the group and took one last breath as she heard the host announce her name and repertoire and took to the stage.
The bright lights on the stage made her uncomfortable for a moment, and the applause and screams from the audience surprised her even more. She glanced at the audience subconsciously, and found that there were also audience members holding cheering cards with her name on them.
Ding Meng was stunned for a while, these... Shouldn't it be the nursery invited by the show team to create an atmosphere.
The beautiful and soothing violin solo opened the prelude to the song "White Bird", Ding Meng's heart gradually calmed down in the music. Even if the audience just now were really nurses, she was indeed moved, so she must sing this song well:
"I want to have wings and fly like a bird.
Ride the wind to meet the light and go anywhere.
See the white bird over the clouds,
Carefree and free-spirited.
At last I spread my wings too,
I can also ride the wind and waves! "
Different from the hot scene before, when Ding Meng sang this song, the audience was very quiet. The beautiful symphony accompaniment, and Ding Meng's clear voice as if the sun is breaking through the clouds, gradually came to an end in the innocent children's chorus. When Ding Meng sang "I want to have wings" again, the white wings slowly descended from the top of the stage. , landed firmly on her shoulders.
Warm applause and cheers erupted from the audience, Ding Meng exhaled and bowed to everyone. The host also came up while applauding: "The performance just now was so good, you can see that our teacher Xiao is too excited to speak."
The audience laughed, Xiao Qi put the microphone in front of him and said, "Fortunately, I just took notes."
After another burst of laughter, the host took advantage of the situation and said, "Then ask Mr. Xiao to be the first to comment on Ding Meng's singing just now."
Xiao Qi said: "I have always said that I like her voice very much. I think after today, more people will like her voice."
"Oh?" The host raised his eyebrows, looked at Ding Meng and said, "It seems that Teacher Xiao has a very high opinion of you."
Ding Meng said thank you, Xiao Qi continued to comment: "I will evaluate your performance just now from three aspects. The first is your voice and singing skills. "White Bird" is a folk song, the voice of the folk song to the singer The conditions are very demanding. Although you have re-arranged the music, its essence will not change. Speaking of which, I would like to commend the teacher who arranged the music for you. He arranges the music very well and stands out as much as possible. For the merits of your voice, you must thank him well."
Ding Meng nodded, and Xiao Qi said again: "Then there is the stage effect, this is really... perfect! When the last pair of wings came down, I was going to cry out, it's so beautiful! And your outfit today, and The whole song and the whole stage atmosphere are very harmonious, I really like that skirt on you so much!"
The host smiled and joked with her, and then asked the judge next to her to speak: "I'll ask Mr. Sun to express his opinion below."
Sun Rui paused for a moment before opening his mouth and said, "Seriously, Ding Meng's performance surprises me every time. Producer Qiao's words about you singing KTV are still in my ears, but you are moving at an astonishing speed. Master your singing skills. The song "White Bird" is not easy to sing, but your current singing skills are enough to support this song, and your explosive power can be said to not lose to Tang Shiran. This progress is by no means accidental Yes, I believe you must have put a lot of effort into practicing under the stage, and I hope you can continue to work hard."
Ding Meng thanked him sincerely, and Sun Rui smiled again and added: "Finally, did I say you are beautiful? When the wings came down just now, I thought I saw an angel."
"Emma, our teacher Sun is too good at talking." The host made a "really numb" expression, the audience also booed from the stage, and Ding Meng's face immediately turned red.
"Look, all our players are shy." She changed the subject and looked at Qiao Yichen, "The two teachers said so many good things just now, and the task of pouring cold water will be handed over to Producer Qiao."
Ding Meng felt that the host really knew Qiao Yichen too well.
Qiao Yichen adjusted the position of the microphone, and said calmly: "Although your explosive power and vital capacity, including pitch and control of breath, have been greatly improved, it is still far from enough. And your performance today The reason why it is so brilliant is that half of the credit is attributed to the performance of the symphony orchestra and the chorus of the children. Without them, your performance will be discounted. The final stage effect is the finishing touch of the whole performance, you can count , how much is your own contribution?"
Ding Meng: "..."
Although I knew for a long time that Qiao Yichen would not say good things, he was still very angry when he said that! Although the other contestants do not have symphony accompaniment and children's chorus, their accompaniment band and harmony combination are also top-notch in China, and every contestant has the stage effect. The dancers in front of them use high-tech, and the stage effect is called A Hyun, why are you only so strict with her!
But of course she didn't dare to say these words, so she obediently went back to the backstage after accepting the comments. When walking back to the backstage, Tang Shiran asked her with a smile, "Do you still say that you are an amateur?"
Ding Meng glanced at her, smiled and said, "I was really amateur more than half a month ago."
The two did not speak after that. After the remaining two contestants finished singing, the host invited them to the stage together: "The five contestants in the second group have also finished their singing. Now ask the judges to choose one of them directly. The advanced players."
There was tense music on the scene, and the audience watched the stage with bated breath. The three judges discussed for a while, and finally Qiao Yichen was the representative to announce the result: "We chose Tang Shiran."
Tang Shiran let out a sigh and bowed deeply to them. The audience holding the Tang Shiran sign even cheered loudly.
"Congratulations to Tang Shiran, becoming the third player to enter the top eight in the country! Now please take a seat at the top eight seats!" The host pointed to the top eight seats and pointed her to the top eight with gestures. Tang Shiran waved at everyone and walked towards the top eight seats with "Strength Group" written on it.
There were four players left on the stage.
Ding Meng was not surprised by this result, she just couldn't help but think that the man's words were really not credible, he just said that she looks like an angel, and in the blink of an eye, she voted for other women.
The host asked the remaining four contestants to stand in the center of the stage and spoke quickly: "I would like to introduce to you our live audience again, who are also our next judges. Each of them has passed through the program group. Only after screening can we sit here. They come from all walks of life, including musicians, media people, students, ordinary white-collar workers and star chasers. They are a microcosm of the market, so the popular players they select also have D."
After the host finished speaking, he began to guide the audience to vote: "Okay, it's the same as before, everyone pick up the voting machine next to the seats, and press the corresponding number key for which contestant you support."
The tense music was played at the scene again. The audience's vote statistics can be seen directly from a screen on the side of the stage. After the host announced the start, the votes of the four contestants rose rapidly. Gradually, Ding Meng's votes exceeded At the end of the voting, she topped the list with more than 100 votes.
Ding Meng didn't expect this result. She stared blankly at the screen and didn't even react when the host congratulated her for being in the top eight.
"It seems that Ding Meng didn't expect this result at all. She has already stayed on the stage." The host's words caused the audience to burst into laughter, and Ding Meng finally recovered.
"Okay, let's let Ding Meng be in a daze for a while. I'll interview the audience first."
The audience laughed again. The host looked at the audience and asked a girl in a plaid shirt to speak: "Who did you vote for just now?"
The girl said, "I voted for Ding Meng."
"why?"
"Because I personally think that she is the strongest among the remaining four players. Since the next competition will be between the strength group and the popular group, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, it won't be worth watching."
"Oh, so that's the case." The host showed a sudden realization, and called a boy in a white T-shirt to get up, "Who did you vote for?"
The boy adjusted his glasses and said, "I also voted for Ding Meng."
"Oh, do you also think she sings the best?"
The boy said: "My reasons are not so superficial. I voted for her simply because she is good-looking."
The audience laughed again and again, and the host also smiled and said, "This reason is indeed very profound." She looked at Ding Meng and asked, "Ding Meng, are you back now? Give your finalist testimonials."
Ding Meng held the microphone that she handed over, and said with a very serious expression: "I will continue to work hard and live up to every vote you cast for me today."
