In fact, in addition to Han Zhou who is preparing to participate in the semi-finals, many singers are preparing songs.
This time period is very special.
First of all, Wang Xiya’s strong promotion of Han Zhou’s new song "Kill That Changshan Man" topped the hot song chart.
And it topped the New Music and Penguin Music charts at the same time.
Then, the Red Ducks’ trilogy of resignations came to the fore.
Then, An Lan released the album "Falling in Love at First Sight".
Since the release of "Falling in Love at First Sight", it has become a luxury for songs from "Dark Gold Voice" to appear on the hot song charts.
The entire list was dominated by An Lan's album "Falling in Love at First Sight".
What a joke! An Lan’s album sales in one month, combined on the two music websites, have reached 7.3 million copies!
What a concept.
In recent years, the monthly playback volume of some first-line singers’ new songs is not as high as the sales volume of An Lan’s album!
When you buy an album, it is impossible for others not to listen to it. To be more precise, many people will listen to the free songs in the album many times before they make up their minds to buy the album.
An Lan's most-played song "The Moon Represents My Heart" has been played 60 million times in a single month!
You know, so far this year, the highest number of views of all songs, including old songs, is only over 40 million.
Excluding old songs, the song with the highest number of views is Han Zhou's "Shudu", which has only 35 million views.
Excluding Han Zhou, the strongest new song by the older generation of singers has only been played more than 10 million times.
To put it simply, after An Lan, there was a vacancy for Han Zhou, and after Han Zhou, there were two vacancy for other singers.
There was only one red-skinned duck in the middle.
The problem is that many netizens now suspect that the red-skinned duck is Han Zhou. It's either Han Zhou or Zhang Xuye.
So, let’s not bring red-skinned ducks into the discussion for now.
In other words, the older generation of singers have collectively lost their voice in the music industry.
After the new generation came out, they took over the hot song charts!
He has even begun to challenge the Golden Melody Chart in terms of the number of plays with his new songs.
Who can stand this?
So, although the veteran singers who participated in "The Voice of Dark Gold" did not say anything, each one of them prepared more seriously than the other.
Especially since the semi-finals have already arrived, wouldn’t it be a joke if he didn’t dare to reveal his mask after the competition?
At least you have to act awesome to cooperate with the final unveiling, right?
Many singers also feel that An Lan's "Falling in Love at First Sight" has ignited the market, and the album market may pick up in the future.
So many people are making songs, preparing to reap the benefits.
Under such circumstances, the entire music industry began to get busy in April.
As a result, netizens have no way of knowing who the participants of "Voice of Dark Gold" are.
This creates more suspense and makes netizens more eager to speculate.
There are often speculations about who is someone and who is someone else that become hot searches.
The popularity of "The Voice of Dark Gold" is getting higher and higher. Even in the ninth episode of the resurrection match, there were no singers with particularly strong performances participating, but the ratings reached a new high of 3.8!
This almost means that the ratings for the semi-finals and finals will definitely exceed 4.
Variety shows that have exceeded four viewership are almost the only discussion among the entire nation among netizens.
When working in the office, you can also hear colleagues’ discussions.
During breaks at school, I can also hear classmates discussing.
Even when riding the subway, you can see people browsing relevant information.
…
Amidst everyone’s attention, the semi-finals finally arrived.
A music show that dares to be broadcast live is definitely a big gimmick.
After all, for live broadcasts, there is no particularly complicated sound editing, at most it can be done on the spot.
However, ordinary variety show fans would not pay attention to this.
Everyone just wants to see if anyone will reveal their identity in this episode.
Because it is a live broadcast, the format of the program is much simpler.
There are four singers waiting here backstage.
Hope, searchlight, black rose, leaping soul.
Out of four to two, only two people can make it to the finals.
In the first round, four people sang, and the one with the highest score went directly to the finals.
In the second round, the remaining three people competed in one round, and the winner entered the finals.
The cruel nature of the competition is revealed, and two people must be eliminated.
But there is still a reserved format.
That is, if you don’t come last in this episode and your contestant isn’t guessed, you can challenge a singer with the same conditions at the end of the second episode and choose one of them to enter the finals.
If there is only one such contestant in two rounds, he or she will not enter the finals directly but will be eliminated directly.
Because the game has reached its final moments.
Therefore, the challenge is no longer to let the opponent choose the topic, but to choose the topic by themselves, allowing the contestants to maximize their abilities.
As soon as the show started, the ratings soared to 3.5, and it was certain to break 4.
Lu Jin on the stage was very melancholy.
So far in the entire show, no one has guessed it.
It seems that the guessing panel is redundant.
Lu Jin is still confused about one question: where did Brother Bing go?
Lu Jin had another choice, which was to wait for the dog-headed man to appear in the second round of the semi-finals and guess that he was Chen Yin.
So that there will be no duck eggs hanging.
However, Lu Jin was a little hesitant whether to guess Chen Yin.
Although the Red Duck pointed out Chen Yin's identity, and although Yang Cong and others might also guess Chen Yin when conditions were ripe, after all, he and Chen Yin were former teammates, and it seemed a bit unkind for him to guess.
The competition was about to officially begin, and Yang Cong was impressed: "To be honest, this season of "Voice of Dark Gold" has broadened my horizons."
"It's conceivable that there must be many familiar faces under the masks, but in the end, I couldn't guess any of them."
"I only guessed correctly twice, and one of them was an accidental killing."
"The other time was because he didn't hide his voice and singing style, but I knew there was such a person, so I guessed it."
Yang Cong actually had a good record, having guessed two people correctly.
He guessed who was Shu Shu Li Xinqi, and also who was Qu He from the national team reserve team.
There are four people on the stage now, and Yang Cong is ready to ignore everything else and just guess what he can.
On the stage, the first to perform was Black Rose.
When Black Rose came on stage, she displayed the strongest singing skills and high notes among first-line singers.
And the song she chose to sing was "I Heard Love Has Come Back" from An Lan's new album "Falling in Love at First Sight". She adapted the song to be more intense and more suitable for the high-pitched burst.
It almost feels like there is no hiding of the tone and singing style.
A high note that reaches the sky.
The song itself is very beautiful in terms of melody, and the transition part is really a test of the singing skills.
Flawless performance.
After the performance, Yang Cong said: "To be honest, our judging panel has been embarrassed to this day, and we are no longer afraid of being embarrassed."
"But we still decided to burn our boats and risk our lives!"
Zimo interjected: "We guess you are Maggie!"
Onion powder rolled his eyes: "Hey, hey, hey, have you reached a consensus?"
Zimo was stunned: "Didn't you just hint to me that she is Maggie? You said two words related to the word Maggie."
Yang Cong: "I said it's Mailang Music that has something to do with Mai, and the name has two characters, Su Rui!"
The Black Rose on the stage didn't say much about this topic.
Soon, the jumping soul appeared.
"Mother", a song often sung by singers from the national team, is heart-stirring.
Zimo was a little curious: "Say, this is obviously Teacher Dai, how could it not be him?"
Yang Cong: "Hahaha, you don't know, I specifically asked the people from the national team."
"Teacher Dai Liqiang's name is a stage name. Because it is a stage name, he used his mother's surname. Teacher Dai Liqiang's actual surname is Chen."
"So, in fact, the jumping soul is Teacher Dai Liqiang, but he flatly denied that his last name was Dai, leading us astray."
Jumping Soul: “Hahaha.”
Don't talk about this either.
The four people had discussed it before they came on stage and would not reveal their identities in advance, and would reveal their identities together during the final evaluation.
No one wants to challenge again and enter the finals as a loser.
If it was an ordinary talent show singer, the director would definitely have opinions, but this is a live broadcast, and the participating singers are all of high status, so the director didn't say anything. It's just that the judges in front of the screen didn't know about this agreement.
The third one to appear is Hope.
I hope the song they choose to sing is "Blue Lotus", which Red Duck sang on this show!
It's not rock singing, but pop singing.
However, when the three words "Blue Lotus" burst out at the end, the soaring high notes were frightening.
The terrifying real sound G5!
Moreover, I still couldn't tell who the voice belonged to.
This terrifying performance made the audience scream wildly.
The more Lu Jin listened, the more familiar it sounded, but there was no other voice that could match it.
Yang Cong, who wanted to watch the fun, made a blind guess: "To be honest, there are at least five divas in China who performed like this during their peak period."
“If you look at the next 100 years, there might be a dozen.”
"However, in recent years, there are no more than three people who have been able to achieve such a terrifying level."
"I have seen and recognized the other two, but there is only one I am not familiar with."
"This person is An Lan. In the past month, the album sales at home and abroad have exceeded 10 million in a single month. The first album was successfully launched. The domestic digital album sales exceeded 7 million in a single month. And she is already showing signs of becoming popular in Yazhou!"
"I really couldn't tell who it was. I can only say that the only singer who meets this condition is An Lan. "
"So I guess you are An Lan."
Hope's diamond mask waved, but it was unclear whether it was a shake of the head or a nod.
The last one to appear in the first round is Tanzhao.
As the big devil in the first episode, Tanzhao should have won easily. After all, he hid his voice and singing style, and burst out with the strength of a quasi-king even though he was unfamiliar with the competition system. He must be a genuine king!
However, Tanzhao lost the first issue.
Afterwards, after Tanzhao qualified for the semi-finals, it did not participate in subsequent programs.
And today, Tanzhao chose a song by the Red Ducks, "You Once"!
Without high notes, I am at a disadvantage in the competition.
However, the reason why Searchlight is Searchlight is that it is the big devil.
The horror lies in strength.
When "You Once" was sung, everyone on the judging panel was stunned.
After this song came out, many people tried to cover it.
But no one can sing like the Red Duck.
Tanzhao, without revealing any personal identity or features, fully presented another version of "You Once" that could be said to be a match for the original singer, Red Duck.
This also means that while Tanzhao has hidden his identity, the strength he has displayed has reached the king level!
If Tanzhao never reveals his face, I'm afraid everyone will think that he is a new superstar, not a former superstar.
Hope, to be seen as An Lan, actually lost the show.
Lost to Searchlight who didn't choose a high-pitched song.
In the first round, Tanzhao directly qualified for the finals!
However, as a female singer, it is normal for me to lose after choosing a male song.
The second round begins.
The first song chosen by Jumping Soul was not the songs of the national team, but a popular song called "Spring Buds" from more than ten years ago.
Many viewers have never heard of this song.
But under the interpretation of Leaping Soul, it was very beautiful and full of confidence. The audience in the front row felt that their hearts were about to resonate when they heard it under the oppressive sound pressure.
And the Black Rose that follows closely behind is no joke either.
We chose a song called "Rain in a Small Town", a representative work of the queen Su Rui and the gold medal composer Wang Jianing.
“Last night the rain fell, and the leaves followed.
Today you left, and I didn’t dare to chase you…”
"The tapping of banana leaves and the clacking of footsteps, is it you who has returned, walking through the familiar rain curtain again?"
This is a very tender song. The difficulty of the melody lies mainly in that the whole song must be full of emotions, and at the same time, the sound of no word can be weak.
The pronunciation and articulation of each voice part should be sung with fullness.
This is not a singing problem.
If one's talent is a little lacking or there is a flaw in the pronunciation of a certain part, one will not be able to sing this song well.
Black Rose is very strong and very close to perfection, but chasing the pronunciation of words like this is too difficult to sing fully.
Han Zhou, who was watching TV, felt like he was listening to "Olive Tree" when he saw Black Rose singing.
So strong!
The performance of the jumping soul and the black rose actually gave the audience a glimmer of hope or perhaps a sense of danger.
Hope has been very strong since the first period. He has never lost in a one-on-one fight, but he has never won against the Red Ducks in group scoring.
Now I have to choose one among the three, and I feel like my hope may be overturned.
Many people believe that Hope is An Lan, and An Lan is Hope. An Lan’s fans don’t want her to be eliminated.
When Hope took the stage, the ratings for the semi-finals of "The Voice of Dark Gold" reached its peak, and it was also the highest ratings moment since the show started, breaking 4.15!
Hope on the stage actually changed her skirt for a studded leather jacket.
The figure looks so curvy, so attractive, but the outfit is so hardcore.
The song sung was "Existence", which Han Zhou had sung on "Superstar of Tomorrow".
I hope that the tone of Han Zhou’s dry shouting will be raised by... three tones!
"I know where we should go. I wonder what life has become!!"
“No need to look for reasons, just live like this, and move forward bravely, always angry, this is how I exist!!!”
Hopefully, some lyrics have been changed.
Changing the tune and lyrics clearly showed the efforts of a gold medalist.
This song was modified to best showcase Hope's strength.
In fact, when the highest note came out, there was no suspense at all.
The five-word group was pronounced clearly and continuously, for a whole sentence, the highest note, the real voice #C6, was terrifying to the point of being outrageous.
Moreover, the sound from beginning to end, the texture of every word is super strong. Black Rose was perfect just one word away from perfection, and I hope it was perfectly displayed.
This kind of terrifying high-pitched song is like a final for the audience in the competition.
"Hey, if Goddess Ann used this song in the first round, Tanzhao might not win!"
"Without revealing her true voice, the searchlight showed the strength of a king. Without revealing her true voice, Goddess Ann also showed the strength of a queen."
"Speaking of which, without revealing her true voice, how do you know she is An Lan?"
"Nonsense, isn't it An Lan? Is there anyone else in the music industry who has this ability? Yes, there are some foreigners who can't sing in Chinese."
When it comes to singing pop music, English songs are more suitable for vibrato, and the difficulty of using various techniques is half as low as that of Chinese songs.
Therefore, singers of the same level will perform much more stunningly when singing in English.
More importantly, long-term adaptation to this kind of performance is helpful for a singer to improve his or her ability, so the singing skills of Chinese singers currently lag behind those of Europe and the United States.
However, clear articulation happens to be a unique advantage of domestic singers.
Hope is both powerful and able to enunciate clearly, a well-deserved queen.
Unfortunately, Hope has definitely won, and the judging panel will have to wait until the final to see what kind of face Hope has under her diamond mask.
Sure enough, after a round of advertising, the online voting results were counted.
Hope received 7.8 million votes, Black Rose received 3.4 million votes, and Leaping Soul received 3.5 million votes.
Jumping Soul is actually singing with open cards, and there are so many votes, the members of the national team are so terrifying.
But a competition is a competition, and the jumping soul has stood out.
Yang Cong: "So, do the audience still need to vote?"
Jumping Soul: "No, I will take off my mask myself."
After the jumping Lingfu took on the deer headgear, his fluffy hair blew back so loudly that it was really eye-catching.
You don't even need to see the face clearly, this hairstyle is the exclusive hairstyle for the older generation of male singers in the national team who are in their 50s and 60s.
Yang Cong laughed out loud: "It really is you, Teacher Dai Liqiang. You've played us so hard!"
Dai Liqiang's voice changer was off, and he smiled brightly: "I'm not lying, my last name is not Dai."
"Hello everyone, I am Dai Liqiang."
The audience also gave a warm round of applause.
Dai Liqiang's last song was not a bel canto song, but a pop song. Although it was a song from more than ten years ago, his sincerity can still be seen.
It is obvious that Teacher Dai prepared it specially for this program.
After all, outside of this show, you can't see Teacher Dai singing pop songs.
Black Rose also took a step forward: "So, have you guessed who I am?"
Black Rose took off her mask.
Not only the guessing panel, but also Han Zhou stretched his neck and asked, "Huh?"
Yang Cong: “Ah?!”
Zimo: “Ouch!”
Under the mask of Black Rose is Mai Lang’s second sister, Maggie, the most powerful female singer on the front line.
Sometimes people would think that the strongest first-line female singer is still just a first-line singer after all, and there is still a huge gap between her and the quasi-queen or queen.
But others can make progress!
Yang Cong actually thought that Black Rose was Su Rui.
Maggie smiled and waved, "Oh, even though I didn't win, I wasn't guessed either."
Zimo: “I guessed it!”
Yang Cong: "You were just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. You misheard my hint, so you reported the wrong name."
Yang Cong hinted that the Black Rose was Su Rui, but Zimo misunderstood and reported the name Maggie.
In fact, no one guessed that Black Rose was Maggie.
Maggie smiled on the stage: "For this show, I studied with Suri for a long time and deliberately imitated her voice to create a feeling that she was singing with her voice hidden."
"It's too difficult to sing Sister Su's voice."
Han Zhou initially thought that Black Rose was Liu Yiling, but later discovered that Black Rose's explosive power was not as good as Liu Yiling's.
After a long time, I feel that Black Rose is a veteran first-line singer.
But later, the strength displayed by Black Rose clearly exceeded the limits of this level.
In the end, Han Zhou also thought that Black Rose was Su Rui.
Unexpectedly, it was Maggie.
Han Zhou had met Maggie once before. When he was writing a song for An Lan, he passed by Maggie who was going to the recording studio to record a song and only said hello.
But I still know him.
But Han Zhou really didn't expect Maggie to sing like this.
If An Lan hadn't appeared, perhaps Mailang would have invested all his resources into promoting Maggie.
It's a pity that Maggie is still a little lacking in hard power, but now with the blessing of "Dark Gold Voice", perhaps Maggie is not far from being officially certified as a queen or a record queen.
After exchanging pleasantries, Tan Zhao looked forward to entering the finals.
Lu Jin: "So, the contestants for the second half of the semi-finals are: the Red Duck, who has been the champion for six consecutive episodes since the show started! The Dog-Headed Man, who appeared in the later stages of the show and became very powerful! The Magic Cube, who suffered a series of defeats at the beginning, but then burst out with amazing strength, and the Ice Beauty, who only appeared in the seventh episode and finally won two consecutive PKs with her powerful strength!"
"The show so far is a bit scary. Six first-tier singers have been eliminated . I don't know who will be eliminated in the second half of the semi-finals and who will enter the finals!"
After watching the show, Han Zhou turned off the TV.
There must be no mistakes in the semi-finals and finals this time, as it is related to whether his popularity can be explosively increased and continued in his "Summer of Idols".
"Superstar of Tomorrow" once had an average viewership rating of just over 1.0%, and a market share of only 1%. That kind of popularity was far from programs with a viewership rating of over 4% and a market share of over 7%.
On average, one out of every fifteen TV users watched the entire show, and five out of every ten users switched channels to "The Voice of Dark Gold" at least once, resulting in a viewership rating of over 7%.
In the semi-finals and finals, you must give a flawless performance and sing the most amazing songs to win the final championship!
This time, Han Zhou prepared an ancient style song for the semi-finals.
