Chapter 6: The Day the Little Queen Was Born
"Please welcome today's first match!"
"Kim Hyo Hee's group, Han Zhou, An Lan!"
"Liu Yiling's group includes Zhao Qian and Hu Xilin!"
When the contestants entered the venue, the camera crew was very casual, because based on their many years of experience in variety shows, they were afraid that the new singers would have no momentum or characteristics when they appeared on stage.
All you have to do is shake the camera randomly, and then have post-production add all kinds of screams to create a feeling of excitement.
As expected, when Zhao Qian appeared on the scene, the camera crew almost rolled their eyes.
She wasn't even walking in the middle of the aisle.
The photographer speechlessly didn't take a full-body shot, but instead took a picture of the upper body. With the program crew's 'specially invited audience' lying in ambush in the aisle waving glow sticks vigorously, it should be barely visible.
Then Hu Xilin came on stage.
This relatively handsome boy walked out with a hunched back and he seemed to be aware of it, so he trotted onto the stage with his head held high and chest puffed out. When he raised his head, he bit his lip to cover up his embarrassment.
After Hu Xilin finished his appearance, the camera turned to the entrance of the passage.
An Lan walked into the corridor with an almost sullen face.
Many people in the audience screamed, and some discussed loudly.
“Isn’t this contestant too beautiful?”
"Oh my god, are you sure she's not an actor but a singer?!"
When a person's dress and temperament are perfectly combined, coupled with their high appearance, the sensory impact on the audience increases exponentially.
Most of these live audiences did not participate in the solo recordings of the first and second episodes, and basically had no idea who was better.
But the first time they saw An Lan, they were deeply certain of one thing.
A contestant with this kind of appearance is worth paying attention to.
Many animals began to hit the inflatable sticks of the maracas to make noise.
For the first time, the scene really got exciting.
The moment she stepped onto the stage, An Lan glanced at the audience. Just one glance and many people felt like they were about to lose their souls.
"She's looking at me!"
"Among thousands of spectators, she noticed me!"
"Please don't add to the drama. There are only 800 spectators in total. Where did the tens of thousands of spectators come from? Besides, there are more than 800 people here. Who can see you when you are so short?"
After An Lan came on stage, the camera was aimed at the entrance.
At this time, Han Zhou, wearing a white suit, walked into the aisle with his head held high.
That expression seemed to show that he was enjoying the noise and cheers around him.
Moreover, while walking, he naturally greeted the audience on both sides.
If it was the male audience at the scene who couldn't bear it anymore.
Now, the girl’s scream made everyone understand the role of being handsome.
Men are more rational than women and like to watch works of art, while women mostly watch for the feeling, and it would be even better if there is a work of art.
Therefore, in this entertainment market, male stars are only half a level higher than female stars of the same level.
Because women are easily taken advantage of.
Of course, it’s also easy to get carried away.
Only when you like something to the extreme can you gain benefits.
When Han Zhou came on stage, Jin Xiaoxi was speechless: "They only have mediocre skills."
If the agent was there, he would definitely remind him that the word to use is "silver-plated spear head" instead of "three-legged cat kung fu" and he used the wrong word.
In the eyes of the audience, there was no such thing as Zhao Qian and Hu Xilin being masters. They clearly saw a future diva on the stage.
What’s even more frightening is that the angular man’s aura clearly makes it seem like he thinks he’s a celebrity.
If people who are not fans of celebrities saw this scene, they would probably think that Han Zhou is a well-known star.
When the four of them came on stage, Chen Feng spoke: "Zhao Qian, Hu Xilin, you two scored the highest among all the contestants in the solo segment, but I want to tell you that the competition is still long, keep up the good work and don't slack off."
The two hurriedly said: "I understand, teacher."
Chen Feng looked at Han Zhou and An Lan again: "Han Zhou, An Lan, I personally selected you during the auditions. Although you sang badly in the solo segment and got the lowest score among all the contestants, I believe in your ability."
"You were very confident in today's opening performance. I hope you can maintain this confidence in your performance of the songs."
An Lan smiled: "Try your best."
Han Zhou picked up the microphone and said, "I will dedicate my next performance to the audiences here and in front of the TV. I hope you will become my fans in the future."
These two groups of four were not led by Chen Feng, so Chen Feng made a summary: "Okay, start your performance."
The first person to take the stage was Zhao Qian.
After going on stage alone, it was obvious that Zhao Qian was unhappy.
Because Han Zhou and An Lan's appearances were more eye-catching and their stage presence was better.
Zhao Qian was holding back her energy, wanting to show her best self.
Of course, this is how she sees it.
In the eyes of others, An Lan put a lot of pressure on her.
Chen Feng shook his head: "She is too nervous."
Sure enough, after singing the first sentence, Chen Feng raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Qian sang a high K!
One whole KEY, two tunes.
This is not a show of skill, but the whole song is out of tune! You should know that the tone has been set by the background music before the performance!
This also means that the singing style and vocal range that Zhao Qian had chosen in advance that she was most comfortable with were buried by herself.
When the most difficult part and the high notes came, her singing was two keys higher and it was no longer under her control.
Zhao Qian quickly realized that she had made a mistake at the first high note .
After realizing this, I became even more nervous.
Chen Feng closed his eyes.
Zhao Qian sang: "I want my yesterday to be able to change..."
Chen Feng opened his eyes: "I still broke my voice."
Liu Yiling shook her head: "A common problem among new singers is that they can't control themselves and their emotions."
As mentors, they can make comments on the spot at will, but when the show is broadcast, most of the comments about the contestants' business will be edited out.
Otherwise, the draft would just be a matter of picking the tallest among the short ones.
After Zhao Qian finished singing, Chen Feng commented: "You sang well, your voice was very good, and your high notes were also good. I believe that with the help of Yiling, you can make great progress."
Zhao Qian bowed: "Thank you, Teacher Chen Feng."
According to the script, the three mentors chatted for a while. Han Zhou said, "It's your turn."
An Lan smiled and said, "Do you think I will be a little bit crazy or a little bit devilish?"
Han Zhou: "Be more restrained."
An Lan: “???”
When An Lan came on stage, the background music began to play.
All three mentors took out the lyrics and started reading them.
Korean Kim Hyo-hee's Mandarin is okay, but her Chinese is really bad. I was dumbfounded and couldn't understand it.
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows. Liu Yiling glanced at the lyrics and then looked up and stared at Han Zhou on the side of the stage.
An Lan on the stage was very quiet and calm, at least one meter away from the microphone. When the lyrics came, she raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the camera's light.
"I hope I go crazy, and I also hope I don't live alone"
"You want me to be cool and elegant, but you also want me to be frivolous and mean"
"I want sunshine, but I also want my charm to remain unchanged"
"You tease me to laugh and cry, but the owner is still teasing me, my heart is like a dead tree"
"Give me dreams, and grant me to wake up quickly..."
In electronic music, the appearance of violin makes the music sound very high-end.
What’s even more advanced is the strange and contrasting lyrics, which are so pleasant and infectious in An Lan’s powerful voice.
Many audience members were stunned.
Is this a song sung by a talent show singer?
How come she is not on the same level as Zhao Qian just now?
Jin Xiaoxi was even more puzzled: "Is this a word that a human could write? Are you sure it wasn't written by a madman?"
Chen Feng: "It's very emotional, a psychedelic folk song with a hint of rock and roll, and some jazz techniques."
“Needless to say, the lyrics are great.”
Liu Yiling was about to say something, but An Lan had already started the actual singing.
An Lan, who was extremely sexy and became untouchable, walked to the microphone.
The red lips parted slightly, but the voice was so powerful.
"May I be like smoke, may I be graceful and lazy
Look at me crazy, and also look at me funny and dignified
You want me to be beautiful, and you want me to kill without blinking an eye..."
An Lan's voice was not intense, nor did she burst out with her strongest power, nor was she overly focused.
It seems like he is singing very seriously.
The only advantage is the good control of the song.
Even Liu Yiling, as a queen of pop, could tell that An Lan didn't sing with her real voice at all, but instead squeezed out the sound on purpose, giving the voice a sense of tearing and metallic texture.
In terms of emotion, there is zero emotion when An Lan sings.
In terms of skills, An Lan's skills don't seem like a newcomer at all. Liu Yiling feels that her singing skills are better than many first-line singers!
Liu Yiling looked at the lyrics again and took a deep breath.
The best feeling about this song is to not sing it with emotion, and let the audience figure it out for themselves!
The audience only has one feeling: this is such a great understanding of men!
Men are just like the lyrics of the song, they want women who are cool, frivolous and mean.
Many people have become addicted to the song.
When everyone thought that An Lan would finally have a strong outburst.
An Lan didn't explode at all, but sang the last few lines in a more casual, nonchalant and relaxed tone.
But the more this happens, the more fascinated, intoxicated, unable to extricate themselves, and the more involved the audience becomes, making the lyrics become everything alive.
"Please make me charming, and please make me erotic"
"It seems like I am in full bloom, but also like I am lacking oxygen and acting weird"
"I am beautiful, and I am obsessed with it"
"Blame me for being a hundred years old, Wuyou still blames me for having only tears to shed..."
After the song, Liu Yiling, who had been silent in the second half, couldn't help but applaud along with the audience and shouted, "You understand men very well!"
Chen Feng smiled and clapped: "The composer of the lyrics really understands women!"
Jin Xiaoxi was puzzled: What the hell is this singing? I don’t understand…
An Lan bowed slightly, then said, "The composer is in the audience, let's see what he says."
The host handed over the microphone, and Han Zhou tilted his head towards the microphone: "I don't understand anyone."
After saying that, he returned to his original position and stared at the lights in the distance in a daze.
