Chapter 399
"Are there any contestants who think they will definitely win?"
After briefly introducing the rules, Qin Wen suddenly asked with interest.
The questions were as straightforward and crude as his style.
"Everyone is very talented. I can't guarantee victory, so let's just do our best."
Lu Qingfeng's answer was very official.
"So, we're still using new songs for this performance?"
"Ah."
Lu Qingfeng's answer came from behind the mask.
"Haha, I'm quite curious about your identity. After the last recording session, I and several other judges privately speculated about it. I saw that you wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and arranged the song 'Matchstick Heaven' yourself, so we all thought you were a professional. You might have been behind the scenes before and are just starting to move to the front of the stage."
"Otherwise, there's no reason why a musician with such strong originality would suddenly appear."
Lu Qingfeng did not respond to this.
Qin Wen didn't expect to get an answer according to the rules of the show, she just said what she wanted to say.
After saying that, he asked the staff to bring the lottery box.
"There are ping-pong balls with numbers on them. Take one."
Lu Qingfeng reached in, stirred it for a while, and finally took one out.
Having filmed many variety shows, he already knew the effect of the show, but he did not show it immediately. Instead, he held the ping-pong ball in one hand and opened it little by little.
Finally, the number on top is revealed, No. 3.
According to the rules, he is facing number 6.
"Okay, I look forward to your performance."
Qin Wen completed the task and left.
Although Lu Qingfeng was curious about who was number 6, the program crew would not proactively tell him, so he didn't bother thinking about it and continued chatting with Qu Ruoyun.
About half an hour later, the staff came to inform us that the formal recording stage had begun.
Lu Qingfeng focused his attention on the TV screen.
On the stage, two judges came on stage to make a simple opening. This time they were Liang Xiaoshen and Yuan Qingqian.
"Teacher Liang, what special impression did you get from the last stage?"
After giving the usual opening remarks, Yuan Qingqian looked at the thin music critic.
"Those must be the two challengers. One of them is pretty easy to guess. After the show airs, the audience should be able to tell who it is."
"Hahaha, I think so too."
Yuan Qingqian burst into laughter and covered the lower half of her face with her cards.
Lu Qingfeng knew that they were talking about the little superstar Huo Yingjie. Everyone who had seen his performance so far believed that he was the one who made Ultraman fight against the little monsters.
The audience in the audience was also so confident.
"The other one is also very impressive. He was able to get the second highest score in this year's 'Crossover Singing' with an original lyrical song. The contestant's singing is very infectious."
"Compared to the last one, I'm more curious about him."
"Everyone is the same, because there is no clear feature yet that can guess his identity."
Yuan Qingqian continued and asked the audience below.
The audience nodded.
"I look forward to their performance on this stage, and also to the surprises that the challenge singers will bring."
After repeating the program rules again, Liang Xiaoshen announced the official start of the competition.
The first contestant to come on stage was Ultraman, who was suspected to be a little superstar and didn’t fight the little monsters.
"Hey, he sang a ballad this time."
After the song title appeared on the big screen at the back, Qu Ruoyun said in surprise.
Because of his natural vocal advantage, everyone believes that he will continue to choose songs that can bring out his strengths.
"Because I got a high score with the lyrical song in the last performance, I also want to prove myself?" Lu Qingfeng knocked on his mask, and this thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Not really, not really, you're not a child."
I immediately found my idea a little funny.
The performance on the stage has begun. Compared with the previous show which started with a high-pitched explosion, this time the song follows the rules, starting with the foreshadowing at the beginning and ending with the catharsis in the chorus.
Although it is lyrical, unlike "Matchstick Heaven", it still contains rock elements.
What an amazing mix!
Blessed with the gift of absolute pitch, Lu Qingfeng can clearly discern how powerful the singers' singing skills are while enjoying a performance.
In terms of live performance alone, this is the most outstanding mixing technology he has ever heard.
In the field of vocal music, the concepts of strong mix and weak mix are often heard.
Simply put, mixed voice is a combination of chest voice and head voice.
Chest voice represents strength, head voice represents lightness. Strong mix is easy to understand. In the ratio of the two voices, more chest voice is used as support, while weak mix is the opposite.
When ordinary people sing, as the notes get higher and higher, the voice almost immediately switches from chest voice to head voice. At this time, a situation occurs, a voice line fracture.
It will be very uncomfortable for those who listen to the music.
Singers usually use mixed voice techniques to handle the transition area to achieve a unified tone and smooth voice change.
The representative singer of strong mixed voice is JJ Lin, who is known as the walking CD. Many of his songs have both power and emotional explosiveness in the chorus stage, which can make people feel the charm of strong mixed voice.
Many people think his songs are very simple when they listen to them, but when they really try to sing them, they find them very difficult and they can't sing them at all. This is the reason.
The representative of weak hybrid is Li Jian.
Lu Qingfeng knew that in terms of physical functions alone, with the gift of heavenly voice, he would not lose to anyone on this planet.
But when it comes to vocal skills, he is not absolutely strong.
After all, it's not like learning a musical instrument where you have to spend time and effort to learn it.
Now it mainly depends on the tone and emotional appeal.
If I were to face this person in the end, would I be able to win?
This question suddenly occurred to him.
The performance on stage gradually ended, and as expected, it still received high scores, only slightly lower than the first show. Perhaps it was because after the stunning first performance, the audience had psychological expectations and were not so likely to give high scores.
The eighth person to come on stage next was a female singer whose nickname was "Sunflowers Bloom at Night".
I don’t know if it was because I was the last one to perform and I felt psychological pressure, but I made some low-level mistakes at the beginning. Although I adjusted in time later, I still lost a lot of points in impression.
The final result was not as good as expected, and she didn't even reach her previous score.
Fortunately, she was able to enter the loser group, but when she faced the challenge of the challenger singer, she still lost and was eventually eliminated.
After taking off the mask, he was also a professional singer. He was the lead singer of a very popular band in the early 2000s. Later, there was an internal conflict in the band and he withdrew. He disappeared from the band within a few years.
It is also the childhood memory of many people.
The contestant who is suspected to be a little superstar advanced.
In the second group of competitions, contestant No. 7 advanced with a slight advantage, and No. 2 fell into the loser group. Then this time the overall score was not high, and the challenger singer directly challenged No. 7 from the winner group.
It's a pity, because the challenger singer lost by 2 points because he needed to score 100 points higher than No. 7.
The mask was immediately removed, revealing that it was a female singer who sang the theme song of a recently popular TV series, causing the audience to exclaim in surprise.
At this point, the first half of the program recording has ended.
Lu Qingfeng, as number 3, was the first to go on stage.
