Honestly, the Wasps were dumb.
They are ready to sweep away all enemies with the unrivaled interactive feeling of a rock band.
This is considered to be using illegal means to compete for a single-period championship, after all, professional players are prohibited from participating.
But they didn't expect that even though I was ready to commit a foul, I still lost.
Also rock, Han Zhou's song triggered interaction among the audience.
This is more participatory than rock music.
The Wasps knew they were doomed, but they went ahead anyway.
A passionate and hot rock song - "Utah Desert".
A complete defeat.
The Wasp Band knew that if they performed in a different position, the contrast wouldn't be so obvious, and they died miserably singing behind Han Zhou.
Following behind the Wasp Band is An Lan.
When An Lan appeared on the stage, many viewers felt that An Lan would be even more miserable.
What good can come from performing after two rock songs?
Seeing An Lan appear on stage wearing a down jacket instead of a formal dress, the fans didn’t really care. What they wanted to know was what song she was going to perform this time.
After all, An Lan looks beautiful in anything she wears, so she doesn't need to work hard on this aspect at all. This isn't a concert.
And the answer was given on the screen.
Yesterday Once More
One viewer said: "She can make yesterday happen again, I eat shit..."
It's not their fault for swearing, but because they don't believe that a singer who didn't grow up or live in the United States can bring the feeling of yesterday to everyone.
Even if this song was written by Han Zhou, even if this song was sung by An Lan, the most popular queen nowadays.
Isn't this nonsense?
“When I was young
When I was a kid
I'd listen to the radio
I like listening to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
Waiting for my favorite song
When they played I'd sing along
I sing along when they play
It made me smile
And my smile..."
The scene was completely silent.
The American audience was silent, but Chinese fans didn't think anything of the lyrics.
In fact, this is because Chinese music fans have no idea about the performance of the American music scene.
Many Chinese music companies, including fans, like to make the translation of English songs extremely gorgeous, yet simple and rustic.
For example, many people like to translate yesterday’s story into “yesterday’s time”, which sounds much more grand and elegant.
However, this is precisely a huge pitfall that prevents many fans from understanding English songs.
There is no such thing as gorgeousness in English writing. The so-called gorgeousness means writing words that ordinary people don’t know or have never seen before, and using unfamiliarity as gorgeousness.
Chinese poetry and writing create a sense of magnificence through the rhythmic beauty and sense of rhythm of words, the stories and profound meanings behind the words, and the sensory effects of the words and fonts themselves.
But have you ever heard that S is more gorgeous than B, and A is more gorgeous than C?
No one has ever heard of an uncommon word called "gorgeous".
So, when a fan thinks that English songs are written gorgeously, he is totally wrong.
When it comes to English song writing, what matters is who writes the most uncultured lyrics and whose lyrics are simpler and easier to understand. If your lyrics are a little more difficult and fans can't understand them, then your popularity will be ruined.
Every fan at the scene thought that all the simple words had been written by previous creators, and that current creators could only use swear words to be down-to-earth and show simplicity.
But when they heard the lyrics, they were stunned.
The simplest lyrics are combined into the most rhythmic phrases, which fit the song perfectly.
“Those were such happy times
That happy time
As if it's still in front of me
How I wonder where they went...
But they are back
Like a long-lost friend
I still love those songs deeply..."
“Every Sha-la-la-la
Every word of Sha La La
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Every oh oh oh
Still shines
Still shining
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
When they started singing
Very good~”
An Lan's singing has reached perfection.
There were no high notes, only a mellow voice, and one could seem to hear a little bit of smoke in the voice. Of course, that was a little bit of tearing sound simulated by An Lan.
That elegant female voice, with its unique qualities, really stunned every audience member at the scene, including those in front of the TV.
This song is actually a narrative song.
When he first released it, it was only the second song of the year, but strangely, it was still second among the ten-year selections.
When choosing the best song of the century, it was…still second.
Everyone knows that it is excellent, but it just doesn’t have the emotions to explode, so it can’t take first place. However, when it took second place in a higher dimension, the original first place had already died in some corner.
Because its words are the simplest words and tell a story that everyone can relate to.
One afternoon, I suddenly felt nostalgic and listened to the songs I heard when I was young or even a teenager.
Whenever a wonderful melody comes, it is still exciting and pleasant to the ears.
“When they get to the part
When they sang
The time when he broke her heart
It really still makes me cry
This is a replay of yesterday..."
Many people at the scene were in tears when they heard a song for the first time, a song without any love or confession.
Although the live sound quality and atmosphere are much better than watching on TV, they did recall the past under guidance.
These tears are not from thinking about past love or past regrets, but simply from crying for the years and crying for oneself.
This feeling is just like when domestic fans suddenly want to cry after hearing the lyrics “It’s not a sin for men to cry” and “I once crossed mountains, rivers and seas”.
When the singers backstage saw the woman on the stage, they just thought she was terrifying.
She seems to have the most powerful effective vocal range in the world and the best singing skills.
But these things are not contained in this song at all. The pure tone makes people quickly indulge in this simplicity.
“Looking back on how it was in years gone by
Looking back over the years
And the beautiful moments with me
Makes today seem sadder, so many changes
This is the song of love
Every word I remember
And the old tune
Still sounds good to me.
I am still moved after all these years..."
Domestic fans were stunned when they saw the fans at the concert crying their hearts out.
Most non-English speaking audiences, when they hear this song for the first time, may feel that the melody is nice, but they will definitely not feel that the lyrics are well-written.
The lyrics of this song are full of grammatical errors if used in high school English.
All kinds of wrong words are used and all kinds of words fail to express the meaning.
But this was the speaking habit of ordinary people in the last century when there was no Internet.
The lyrics of this song seem a bit scattered to Chinese people. If it were translated in a more gorgeous way, it would be like a prose poem.
But unfortunately, this is how ordinary people in Europe and America speak.
Many people have this kind of speaking habit.
Therefore, distance creates beauty.
The reasons why it touched American fans and the reasons why it may touch Chinese fans in the future are completely different.
If you have to make a metaphor for it, what's so good about it?
It's like the American cars of the past, with a big sofa placed in the front, and an open space in the middle, but no central console.
Every old American lost his virginity on top.
That's good.
If you have such memories, you will also think that the Chase Seat is good. Not only is it good, it also represents the United States.
Although the central control of today's cars is advanced, luxurious and fully functional, it just doesn't have the joy of yesterday.
Chinese fans think it is good, probably because the leather quality of old American cars is excellent, so they like it.
That's the contrast.
“Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling…”
When Chinese fans hear these words which can be understood even at the junior high school level in English, they find the melody beautiful.
What American fans are thinking is:
This song can represent the United States before the 1980s.
Yes, that's what they thought.
A male singer who was born in the 1990s and grew up in China wrote a song and asked a female singer who was born in the 2000s and had never lived in the United States for more than ten days to collaborate on the song.
Represents American history.
In front of the TV, the nostalgic souls of many people have been rekindled.
After all, when you get older, you like nostalgia.
Younger ones like to pretend to be nostalgic like older ones.
Except for the children and teenagers, everyone else was convinced.
It is worthy of being called "Yesterday Again".
In the end, as 'Every Sha-la-la-la' was repeated over and over again, the fans shed tears.
Sorry, Anthony.
Although you sang an old song, it was very classic.
But An Lan seemed to have sung a hundred classic old songs...
I might pick her.
For fans, freshness is the first choice, good sound is the second choice, and atmosphere is the third choice.
As for whether these songs will become classics in the future, they don’t know either.
They only know that this moment has touched them.
When An Lan had already stepped down from the stage, 'Every Sha-la-la-la' was still echoing in the ears of every audience member.
Anthony sang first, Aminée second, Felive third, Han Zhou fourth, Carl fifth, An Lan sixth, and finally Ellis came on stage, and everyone was numb.
Because she just couldn't accept the gap between herself and An Lan, and felt that the only thing missing between her and An Lan was Han Zhou.
But now she gradually realized that she was still too naive.
Ellis wants to win back her fans' hearts with a song with explosive high notes.
But it failed.
She clearly saw that many fans were not excited at all.
After Ellis finished singing, she returned to the hall not so happily.
At this time, the host reminded: "Today there will be one more singer than in the past, because there will be a challenge singer."
"This challenger singer needs to be in the top four in this episode, and in the next episode, his ranking must be higher than the last one in this episode, in order to succeed in the challenge."
An Lan asked Han Zhou: "Who is the singer who will challenge the club?"
Han Zhou looked at An Lan and his eyes rolled.
An Lan understood that she couldn't ask about this matter, it was a PY transaction.
At this time, Ellis came back, pretended to be indifferent, laughed and greeted everyone, and then said that she might be eliminated in this episode.
Everyone has seen that Ellis is a dark horse, but since An Lan, who is of the same type, came along, her ranking has started to plummet as a comparison.
This episode is the worst.
Everyone comforted him.
Felivi: “A new singer has come out!”
Everyone looked over.
Anthony was puzzled: "Two people?"
At this time, the light gathered on two figures. The assistant of Fox TV station pushed Wang Chuyang, who had a broken leg and was in a wheelchair , onto the stage.
In fact, it was Han Zhou's sudden idea to let Wang Chuyang go on stage at this time.
Although I wasn't prepared for anything, how could there be so many things in the world that we could be prepared for?
"Twilight 2" has been released recently. "Twilight 2" is very clear that it cannot compete in the Christmas period, and it can forget about the Spring Festival period. To be precise, New World has no intention of bringing the Twilight series to China for release.
So, I chose a time slot for myself and played by myself. Anyway, it attracts young fans and has a unique fan base.
And with the broadcast of "Twilight 2".
It was set in the setting that the werewolf would change drastically when he grew into an adult, so fans naturally accepted the new actor.
Wang Chuyang is the new Jacob.
In this film, Jacob has a lot of scenes. He is very handsome and has a wild beauty.
In the United States, wild beauty is more popular than the aesthetic of white, thin and young.
Even though the drama was originally intended to attract audiences with its fair, thin and young characters, Wang Chuyang quickly gained fans.
The company is well aware of this situation.
At this time, the director of "Singing" asked Han Zhou if he had any idea of ​​recommending a challenge singer.
Han Zhou does have it. If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity, you’d be a bastard!
Other new singers were scared and cried when they saw this lineup. They didn’t dare to come, fearing that it would ruin their singing career.
Wang Chuyang was not afraid. He was going to be an actor. He just wanted to release an English song to increase his popularity in the United States. What was there to worry about? He came directly.
To be precise, although Wang Chuyang himself was confident that he could sing the song well, he was reluctant to come, saying that he still needed to recuperate from his injuries.
Wang Xiya sent him here directly.
Wang Chuyang, who was pushed onto the stage in a wheelchair, received crazy screams from more than 300 of the 5,000 spectators.
However, the remaining four thousand people looked at Wang Chuyang in confusion.
Who is this person?
Another Chinese face, could he be a great singer from China?
How did this American song "Singing" turn into a big fight between China and the United States?
But they understood Wang Chuyang's young face and felt that he was unreliable.
Although in China, Wang Chuyang looks relatively mature, he looked like he was twenty when he was sixteen.
But for American audiences, this kind of smooth and delicate skin without a single wrinkle on the face makes it obvious at first glance that the person is a young person.
They all didn't believe that Wang Chuyang could sing well.
At this moment, Wang Chuyang still remembers what Han Zhou said when he tricked him into joining the circle.
"Idols need to be able to sing? This is the second biggest joke I've heard this year."
I never thought that I would actually believe it, and then come all the way to where I am today, and even stand on the competition stage with international superstars.
After the assistant put Wang Chuyang in front of the microphone, he slipped away.
Wang Chuyang looked at the microphone that Ellis had used before, looked at the height, and then looked back at the TV station's assistant.
The audience laughed, and so did the audience on TV.
Many people who have seen the movie know: "Here comes Jacob! The King of Werewolves!"
Those who haven’t seen it: “Haha, it’s a funny show, so ‘Singing’ is going to be funny?”
The host, who was only there to make up the numbers and could barely say a few words, came on stage and said, "You know, sometimes I'm not just a host, I'm also an electrician, a doctor, or something like that."
Amid the laughter of the audience, the microphone was released and adjusted to the lowest level.
The host looked back at Wang Chuyang: "How is it?"
Wang Chuyang used standard English: "You don't have to be so short..."
So far, there are only two singers who have spoken on the stage of "Singing".
One is Han Zhou, who was singing and encouraging the audience to sing along.
One of them is Wang Chuyang.
However, Wang Chuyang was the only one who spoke alone.
After the microphone was adjusted, many audiences were curious about what kind of song this seemingly newcomer could sing.
The song that Han Zhou recently made for him is a fresh and youthful song.
"Lemon Tree".
A song that was very strange in the previous life.
The singer is a German. One day, he was driving in his hometown in Germany and saw a lemon tree that only grows in warm areas.
He was inspired to write this song.
This song was not a popular fresh song all over the world at the beginning.
It's a weird song.
Look at the BUFF stacked on this song.
A German band was inspired by a tree that only grows in warm areas and wrote an Intlan-style band song in English.
Two things were popular in Germany at that time: heavy metal rock and Nordic music.
In this environment, someone wrote a British band song.
But because there were not many lemon trees in Germany at that time, and in places like Europe where the streets are narrow, people don't like driving, and they don't like road songs even more.
So this song is very weird.
But this song became popular and became popular all over the world.
When the Italians heard this song, they thought it was about the Mediterranean Sea.
When Americans heard it, they thought it was about California.
No one thought that this song was about Germany.
If you honestly say that this song was written by someone from somewhere else and you bought it to sing, it would probably be easier to promote it.
But this song has such a strange origin, and then it became popular all over the world.
"I'm sitting here in the boring room
I'm sitting in this boring room
It rained again on Sunday afternoon
I have nothing to do except kill time.
I'm wandering, I'm waiting for your arrival
But nothing happened, I was surprised..."
The audience at the scene were quite surprised after hearing Wang Chuyang singing.
How should I put it? It’s as refreshing as eating cucumber-flavored potato chips!
Wang Chuyang has been in ACE9 for a year and is very familiar with youthful and fresh singing. Han Zhou prepared this song specifically for him based on his characteristics, so Wang Chuyang sang it freely.
The audience in front of the TV were also shocked.
Awesome!
“I was driving around
I drove too fast and too far
I want to see everything from a different perspective
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
But nothing happened, I was surprised
I want to know what happened, I want to know why
Yesterday you told me the sky was so blue
But I only saw a yellow lemon tree..."
I have to say, although this song is very fresh, I have to say it is very nice.
But Wang Chuyang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, sang like this.
It always makes people feel that he is riding in a wheelchair.
"I sit here, I feel exhausted
I want to go out in the rain
But there's a dark cloud in my mind
I feel so tired, I just want to lie in bed
Nothing happened, I was surprised
Loneliness doesn't suit me
I don't want to sit alone in the lemon tree
I stroll on the happy sandbanks..."
The audience at the scene actually had a very strong sense of involvement. This is California, and California is just like what is imagined in the song.
This song is written in a very figurative way.
Because lemons are only grown in hot places, when you see a lemon tree, you think of sunshine, sandbanks, and the comfortable sun.
Dispel all the haze.
"I want to know what happened, I want to know why
Yesterday you told me the sky was so blue
But I can only see
But I can only see
But I can only see
I saw a yellow lemon tree~"
When Wang Chuyang finished singing, the whole song ended.
Han Zhou knew that the more powerful this program was, the more famous Wang Chuyang would become this time.
Moreover, it is unlikely that Wang Chuyang will be at the bottom.
Because everyone just saw it, among the five thousand viewers, there are more than three hundred of his die-hard fans.
Even if only 300 other viewers voted for him, he would not be seventh and would most likely be in the top five.
As for the top four, it all depends on luck.
At this moment, the TV was playing the scene of Wang Chuyang arriving at the hall.
Several veteran singers went up to greet them.
After all, this guy has a broken leg.
Wang Chuyang greeted everyone one by one, then greeted Han Zhou and An Lan in Mandarin, asking how their singing was.
Both of them affirmed that the singing was good.
Felive: “You two know each other, right?”
Han Zhou held the armrest of Wang Chuyang's wheelchair: "Oh, he is my junior fellow apprentice."
Anthony: "Oh, I see. So, who is your master?"
It must be awesome to be able to teach two such apprentices, right?
Han Zhou didn't know how to explain to him that in China, all the stars in the same company call each other brothers, so he joked: "In our country, there is a custom called accepting apprentices on behalf of the master."
Including the audience in front of the TV, when they heard such a novel concept, they all watched TV and wanted to hear what it was about.
Han Zhou introduced: "For example, in my hometown there is a mountain called Emei, and there are hundreds of sects in the mountain."
"Many of the disciples of this generation are fellow disciples of the sects hundreds of years ago."
"They are recruiting disciples on behalf of their master."
Han Zhou: "Basically, I taught him, but at that time I was not yet old enough to be his teacher, nor did I have the qualifications to be one, so I accepted him as a disciple on behalf of my master. He was my junior fellow apprentice, but I was the one who taught him all the kung fu."
Felivi: "So, who is your master?"
Han Zhou pulled his hair handsomely: "I learned it by myself."
This kind of vocabulary is too magical for foreigners.
But you can roughly see that it is very mysterious, and it fits the impression of the mysterious East!
In the end, when the rankings were announced, there was no dispute that Han Zhou was ranked first in both the singer vote and the audience vote, far ahead of the second place.
The second is An Lan.
To be honest, looking back thirty years later, "Yesterday" may not necessarily lose to "We Will Rock You", but it is not the case today. After all, in the past, "Yesterday" was always the second best, and it was always the second best in any occasion, which is normal.
Third, Felive’s new version of the opera.
What is surprising is that Wang Chuyang is not fifth, but fourth.
The fifth is Amynie, the sixth is Carl, and the seventh is Anthony.
The audience was numb.
Originally, when Anthony was the first to appear on stage, everyone thought he was the number one in this episode.
The result is seventh!
If there weren't so many people in this issue, I might have been last.
And the last one is Ellis.
Before, Ellis’ explosive singing skills seemed to be no less than those of the older generation in all aspects, so she was very popular with the audience.
But after An Lan came, Ellis's condition took a sharp turn for the worse and she is now ranked eighth.
If Han Zhou gives Wang Chuyang another song, she will be eliminated!
But Han Zhou didn't plan to write a new song for Wang Chuyang.
Because his fans will probably be attracted by this episode and will watch the next one. At that time, Wang Chuyang will sing his previous representative Chinese works, allowing his fans to directly adapt to his Chinese songs.
If you can't adapt, forget it.
Anyway, Wang Chuyang has a broken leg and is unable to move around easily, so even if he continues to participate, there is no way he can have a good stage performance.
If I win, I'll make a lot of money. Every extra episode I sing is a bonus. The longer I stay, the more famous I'll become in the American music scene.
Three Chinese singers, Han Zhou, An Lan and Wang Chuyang, were present.
This time, Han Zhou was going to continue singing Chinese songs. He had originally written an English song for An Lan, but An Lan didn't want it. She said, "You all sing Chinese songs, so if I sing an English song, wouldn't that be asking for criticism?"
As a result, the sixth episode of "Singing", which was the last episode before the finals for the debut singers, shocked the audience during the recording.
Three Chinese songs appeared on the stage, which was unprecedented in the history of American television.
It’s not that American audiences don’t listen to songs in other languages, but it’s the first time that a program with the highest ratings at the moment has three songs in another language.
While the fans were waiting foolishly, Han Zhou and An Lan were in the United States, and they couldn't go back for the Chinese New Year this year.
Originally, the performance would end just before the Chinese New Year. If I rushed back, I would have to celebrate the New Year on the plane, and the Oscars ceremony would be held three days later.
So, it’s better to stay here and then go back.
By the way, there is also Wang Chuyang with a broken leg acting as a light bulb.
Wang Xiya also had to rush over from China, because the Oscars ceremony was a film award ceremony, so it was Wang Xiya who accompanied Han Zhou instead of An Lan.
