After the contract was signed, the representative of Xingyao left, and the top four players were still sitting inside, listening to the staff of the program team explaining the process of the next final to them.
"The four finalists will be divided into two groups according to the lottery, and they will compete against each other. After the first round of singing, the audience will vote to select the two players who will enter the championship. The two players with fewer votes, They will sing again, this time by the judges' vote to select the third runner-up of this competition. The two advanced contestants will sing in the second round after this, and the judges will also vote to select the winner of this "Sound of Heaven". Champion. Any questions?"
Ding Meng and the others shook their heads, and a contestant raised his hand and asked, "That means I have to prepare two songs this time?"
"Yes." The staff nodded, "And this time the program team also has requirements for the songs to be sung in the first round."
This was unexpected by everyone, everyone looked at her and waited for her to explain further: "The program team stipulates that the first round of singing must be the song you sang in the primary election. At that time, the video program The group is still saved, and will be re-edited and played on the big screen to compare with your current singing."
Ding Meng: "..."
This is simply shameful PLAY. During the primary election, it was originally a cappella singing, and I didn't do any costume modeling. It was simply... pure and natural. And she remembered that Qiao Yichen also said that she sang KTV, and she wondered if the judges' words would be edited together...
The other players had the same concerns as her, and they all started talking in a low voice.
The staff said again: "Don't be shy, everyone, the primary election must be regarded as your dark history, but compared with you at that time, it will allow the audience to see more intuitively how much you have grown after this competition. It will also be a basis for their vote."
This may sound reasonable, but the ending may just be a drop in fans.
However, everyone must abide by the rules of the program group, so everyone is complaining in their hearts, and they still practice honestly.
The training this time was different from any previous one, because this time everyone had a practice room, training individually, and everyone could not be near their players' rooms.
The program team said that this is to protect the interests of the players, so that the opponents do not know your level, or even the songs you sang in the second round.
But on the other hand, you don't know your opponent's level and repertoire. What if the selection is repeated with someone else? Ding Meng asked her inner question.
The program team said that repetition does not matter, different people will have different styles when they sing the same song, it is just so willful.
Ding Meng silently went to her practice room.
Because I still don't know what the second song is singing, Ding Meng is mainly practicing the songs in the primary election. The teacher will come to give you guidance from time to time, the arrangement will also have new adjustments, and sometimes they will discuss with you about stage performances.
The first day of training went by smoothly, and Ding Meng was asked to report the second round of singing tomorrow morning.
After returning home, Ding Meng first took the contract she signed in the morning to Qiao Yichen for a look. After reading it, Qiao Yichen said: "Except for the price of rotten cabbage, there is no problem."
Ding Meng: "..."
"For a company as big as Xingyao, you newcomers have no value to them."
… unsuspectingly turned on the poisonous tongue mode.
"but… "
Seeing him frown slightly, Ding Meng immediately became nervous: "But what?" They really still deserve to be tricked!
Qiao Yichen just shook his head: "It's nothing, wait until you get the first place."
Ding Meng: "..."
Hmm, ok.
"By the way, I have something for you too." Qiao Yichen put down the contract and stood up from the sofa.
Ding Meng looked up at him and wondered, "What is it?"
"Wait." Qiao Yichen went back to the room and walked out with a long gift box.
Ding Meng looked at the gift box in his hand. This size could not be clothes, nor a necklace or ring. What could it be
"I didn't have time to prepare yesterday. It's a gift to congratulate you on entering the semi-finals."
Ding Meng was even more curious, he actually prepared a gift for her! She took the box and couldn't wait to open it. Inside was... a set of hair accessories, ranging from combs to hairpins to hair clips.
Qiao Yichen said: "Well, I agreed to buy you hair accessories."
Ding Meng: "..."
Who told you that! She just wanted to stick all the hair accessories in her hand on his face, but this set of hair accessories looked very expensive, and she couldn't do it.
She looked at the hair accessories in the box again. The workmanship was very delicate and the style was very unique. He was willing to make fun of her with such expensive things. How could she not dare to accept them
"Thank you Dog Dan, but unfortunately I won't sell my hair to buy you a watch strap." She smiled at him, picked up the box and went back to her room.
Sitting in front of the table, Ding Meng took a closer look at the set of hair accessories. The patterns on the wooden comb seemed to be hand-painted. The little ruby can't be real...
It looks like a carefully chosen gift.
After a while, Qiao Yichen came over and asked her to eat. There was no reason to miss the special training tonight. After Ding Meng ran for half an hour, Qiao Yichen asked next to her, "How is the song preparation for the finals?" ?"
Ding Meng wiped off her sweat with a towel. Now that she has finished running, she is no longer panting like before, so she can talk to Qiao Yichen with a calm expression: "You should know the rules of the game, right? The first song I wanted to sing the primary selection song, "fly me to the moon". As for the second song, I was wondering if I should still sing Pan Ying's songs. Her songs are basically lyrical songs. confident."
Qiao Yichen thought for a while and said to her, "Your voice is indeed suitable for singing that kind of gentle lyrical tone, but you can't only sing this type of song."
Ding Meng was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he was trying to convey.
"Your voice is your strength, but don't let that limit your development."
His voice was like a drumstick, tapping lightly on Ding Meng's heart. She frowned, looked at him and said, "You mean, let me sing other types of songs?"
Qiao Yichen nodded: "Singing the same type of song all the time, even if you don't get tired of it, the audience will be aesthetically fatigued. A singer who can only sing one type of song, the song path is too narrow, and there will be no long-term development. ."
Ding Meng felt that what he said made sense, and she understood it too, but with her current strength, and at the time of the final, she really did not dare to rashly challenge a field she was not good at: "But you also said that I still have The gap, even if I sing Pan Ying, I have no absolute certainty, let alone..."
Qiao Yichen interrupted her: "I said that apart from a good voice, there are still gaps in other aspects, but for a singer, a good voice is the most important. Because of all singing skills, You can learn it through hard work the day after tomorrow, only the voice is a gift from God.”
Ding Meng looked at him blankly, so... Was he lying to himself before
"The top singers in the music world, such as Gu Xin and Sima Xiaoxiao, are all born with good voices." Qiao Yichen looked at her, those beautiful black eyes seemed to be magnetic. Locking her eyes tightly, "It doesn't matter if you lose the game, it's just a game. But I want to see more possibilities in you through it."
For some reason, Ding Meng felt inspired, even the blood in her body boiled and her heart was beating non-stop.
In addition to lyricism, she can also sing other songs, and even like Tang Shiran, she can make the atmosphere of the scene explode.
"Well..." She looked at Qiao Yichen with anticipation, and carefully expressed her thoughts, "Actually, I always have a song that I like very much."
"what?"
"Sima Xiaoxiao's "Early February Flower"."
Qiao Yichen: "..."
He asked her to challenge him, but he didn't expect her to give him such a big challenge.
"Early February Flower" sounds like a lyrical song by its name, but it's actually a light rock with a lively rhythm, a dynamic melody that hits the audience's eardrum from beginning to end, and Sima Xiaoxiao's high-pitched and explosive voice. Song and herself were sent to the altar together.
That's right, "Early February Flower" is a song that established Sima Xiaoxiao's status in today's music scene, and it is also widely recognized as the most difficult song for Sima Xiaoxiao to sing. There are even rumors that even Sima Xiaoxiao would not dare to sing this song live.
So from the beginning of the competition, although Tang Shiran sang a lot of Sima Xiaoxiao's songs, but this one "Early February Flower" was not the only one.
Seeing Qiao Yichen's distrustful expression, Ding Meng curled her lips and said, "You didn't say that winning or losing is not important, you just want to see my possibility?"
Qiao Yichen suddenly laughed: "Yes, I said it, since I decided to sing this song, I must first analyze my strengths and weaknesses." He glanced at Ding Meng and said, "Sima Xiaoxiao You are definitely not comparable to her singing skills now, but your advantage over her is that you can sing higher pitches more naturally. The chorus part of this song is very high, and Sima Xiaoxiao also recorded it many times before recording it. Good. But this high pitch is different from the high pitch you usually sing. For example, Pan Ying, her song starts from the beginning of the song to pave the way for the high pitch of the chorus, and does not need much explosive power when it reaches the high pitch. The beginning of February is a bright rock, but the chorus suddenly rises, like a long-suppressed cry, which is an earth-shattering explosion."
After listening to his analysis, Ding Meng couldn't help but ask, "Did you also point out Sima Xiaoxiao like this in the recording studio?"
Accidentally, she felt as if she was getting closer to the queen, and Ding Meng couldn't contain her little excitement.
Qiao Yichen tapped her forehead with her index finger: "I'm talking to you about business, is this what you're focusing on?"
Ding Meng pouted and looked at him while covering her forehead: "Oh, what are you talking about?"
Qiao Yichen said, "The point is, you will be defeated by Sima Xiaoxiao."
