In Qian Zhen's view, even the obviously good "Jimei" couldn't move Xiao Ning. That could only be because "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is even more popular than "Jimei"!

His strong curiosity prompted him to say this to Xiao Ning.

However, Qian Zhen regretted it as soon as he said it.

"I just made the relationship a little better with him. Now that these words are said, it won't make things worse again, right?"

Xiao Ning didn't know what Qian Zhen was thinking, and he was also very confused at this time.

What's going on with this senior brother?

I said I would hum for you before and you said no, but now you want me to hum again?

Weird.

However, Hummingbird’s artists all have unique personalities, and it’s okay for Brother Qian, who became famous right after his debut, to be eccentric.

That’s all.

Just hum.

"Humph Jing..." Before the word "just" in Xiao Ning's mouth could be fully uttered, the staff's voice sounded from the door of the lounge.

"Contestants No. 15 to 30 please go to the backstage of Studio 3 and wait."

Jiangcheng TV Station, backstage in Studio Hall 3.

Because he was notified to come over and wait for the show, Xiao Ning could not hum the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". After coming over, he was carefully watching the performance of the fifteenth contestant, and he was just rushing to

Liu Weiwei came over and chatted, temporarily ignoring the matter.

However, Qian Zhen felt like there were ants crawling in his heart at the moment. He looked at the live broadcast screen in the background and glanced at Xiao Ning, who was talking to Liu Weiwei with a calm face.

"Junior brother just said hum..."

"It must be because he was angry because of what I asked him to hum before. He was expressing his ridicule and disdain to me by snorting, right?"

"But when he said the word 'hum', his tone didn't seem to be particularly disdainful..."

"But if that's not the case, how can we explain this 'hum'?"

"Although I consider myself to be charming and a musical genius, and am loved by thousands of girls and boys, this 'hum' of Junior Brother Xiao can't be just coquettish to me, right?"

"Can't you?"

While Qian Zhen was still thinking crazily from various angles, contestant No. 15 had already finished singing his song.

The assistant Xiao Wang on the side saw that Qian Zhen seemed to be still lost in thought, and patted him carefully on the shoulder: "Brother Zhen, it's your turn."

……

Jiangcheng TV Station, in a dressing room.

Xu Minghao, an artist of Xuanji Entertainment, is sitting quietly in front of the mirror with a slight smile. The professional makeup artist on the left is helping him remove his makeup.

To his right, sat his agent Wei Min.

Even though Xu Minghao looks happy right now, in fact, he has been in a bad mood recently.

As soon as his new song "Remnants of Sorrow" was released at the end of last month, it shot to the top of the new song list with a very rapid momentum. In less than half a month, it has reached the first place on the new song list, and the data is even higher after ranking first.

Every day we are opening a wider gap with the second place.

But the song "Lonely Warrior" that suddenly appeared last week made him feel vaguely uneasy, and this uneasiness lasted until he sang "Jimei" today.

If he hadn't also participated in this program on Jiangcheng TV, Xu Minghao, who has been well-connected in the music industry for six years since his debut, would not even know who Xiao Ning is.

In his understanding, Xiao Ning is the existence that Hummingbird temporarily pulled out for a round to make up the numbers.

But what he didn't expect was that this person was a master of explosives. In the knockout round of fifty to thirty, he directly entered the finals of "The Lonely Warrior", which everyone seemed to play casually.

Although Xu Minghao has been very annoyed recently because "Lonely Warrior" poses a threat to his No. 1 position on the list, he himself admitted that this song "Lonely Warrior" is indeed a song that changes from the song itself to the audience.

A rare and excellent work on all levels.

Xu Minghao is willing to admit that others are excellent, but he is not willing to admit that he is inferior to others.

As a musician, who doesn’t have a little bit of arrogance?

The reason why he took out an unreleased original single today instead of singing the songs that have already been released is because the production level of this song is to surpass his current number one song on the chart, "Remnant", "Jimei"

》Go and tell everyone that I, Xu Minghao, will never be weaker than anyone else in my life.

Of course, he actually knows in his heart that from the perspective of the song itself, this song "Jimei" cannot catch up with "The Lonely Warrior".

But after all, he is an original musician who debuted six years ago. Although his status in the music world is not yet at the forefront, many passers-by who are not his fans have more or less heard his songs and know who he is. In terms of fame, Xiao

Ning's small transparency is completely incomparable.

Xu Minghao’s idea is very simple.

As long as he shows the unreleased song "Jimei" on the show, and with the popularity of the show, he will naturally make many people have a new impression of him, and attract as much traffic from passersby as possible through the stunning performance of "Jimei"

, and then convert them into the data of the number one song "Remnant", and try to widen the gap with "The Lonely Warrior" as much as possible.

Even if "The Lonely Warrior" itself is better than "The Last Sorrow", the popularity and fame of this song in the future will definitely be higher than that of "The Last Sorrow", but so what?

In terms of the number of fans and fame, he and Xiao Ning are not on the same level at all.

What's more, the new song chart only lasts for one month, and he, Xu Minghao, just wants to keep "Remnant" at number one until it falls off the chart on the last day.

Therefore, his operation is completely feasible in theory.

This is also the reason why Xu Minghao can laugh now.

The song "Jimei" just ended. The applause at the scene was not necessarily smaller than that of "The Lonely Warrior", and the judges' evaluation was also quite good.

He was very satisfied.

In the dressing room at this time, except for the makeup artist who was busy removing Xu Minghao's makeup, Xu Minghao and Wei Qingqing were both staring at the broadcast screen in the dressing room.

On the screen, Qian Zhen is singing.

The song Qian Zhen sang at this time was the title song of his album last year. When it was released as a single, the song peaked at No. 8 on the new song chart. Both the production and the quality of the song itself are considered excellent.

A piece of work.

But compared to the song "Jimei" that Xu Minghao sang just now, this song seems more ordinary.

Wei Min, who had a cold expression, said: "Qian Zhen's song was actually just okay. Although it was indeed a lot worse than Ji Mei's, he didn't sing it like this. Several of his high notes were a bit shaky. I guess it was.

I was affected by your performance just now."

Xu Minghao didn't say anything, just looked at the broadcast screen quietly.

At this time, Qian Zhen's performance had just ended. Although it seemed that he was not in good condition and could not give full play to his performance, he still had strength after all. The judges had already announced the "promotion" result, and the next contestant had already appeared.

When the contestant started to sing, Wei Min murmured: "Qian Zhen's performance is poor, but he is a singer that Hummingbird is currently cultivating for the front line. There is no suspense about promotion in this knockout competition of thirty to ten...

…”

Wei Min glanced at Xu Minghao, and then looked back at the broadcast screen: "Since we have decided to put the two songs you put at the bottom of the box in the finals of the top ten and the top five, then this season's top singers

It definitely belongs to us at Xuanji Entertainment. Hummingbird can’t take it away, Qian Zhen can’t take it away, and Xiao Ning can’t take it away.”

The smile that had always been on Xu Minghao's face suddenly disappeared without warning.

"Amin."

"What do you think of Xiao Ning's song about the stars tonight?"

Wei Min frowned slightly: "Didn't I check Xiao Ning's information for you before?"

"He was signed by Hummingbird after graduating from Jiangcheng Music Academy, and then spent a year in obscurity. His path was not original. He had never learned to write songs before. He is a complete amateur in the original field."<

/p>

""The Lonely Warrior" is indeed good, but that's all. If an amateur like him can come up with a song like this, it's already smoking in the ancestral graves. You have to know that even those senior-level songwriters and lyricists in the music industry will spend their entire lives.

I guess there are only one or two songs of the level of "The Lonely Warrior"."

Speaking of this, Wei Min smiled lightly and said: "You ask me what I think, but there is actually nothing to see."

"If a person's creative inspiration is limited, then a song like "The Lonely Warrior" can be said to have exhausted Xiao Ning's creative inspiration, even to the point of overdraft."

"Relax, it's not impossible for him to be eliminated directly later, even if he is lucky enough to enter the finals..."

"The song you left in the finals is better than Jimei's."

"The championship of powerful singers is yours, and the number one on the new song chart will also be yours."

After a few seconds, Xu Minghao nodded calmly: "Indeed."

While the two were chatting, contestant No. 16 had already finished singing.

Xiao Ning, No. 17, walked slowly to the center of the stage.

"Good evening everyone, a song called "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", thank you."

Xiao Ning did not talk a lot of nonsense before starting to sing like other contestants, but simply explained it in one sentence.

As the lights in the studio dimmed, the accompaniment of the song was played.

The crisp and pure guitar tone sounded.

The intro to the original version of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" by Runaway Plan is not complicated and has nothing to do with being fancy.

But the ultimate simplicity and purity.

But it's so pure, and it's just the prelude of folk guitar, but it sounds very comfortable.

It's as if people are really looking up at the night sky on a summer night, comfortable, cozy and quiet.

In the dressing room.

As Xu Minghao's manager, although Wei Min has a fair knowledge of music, for this song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", she feels that the prelude is a bit interesting, but not much.

As an original musician, Xu Minghao was stunned just after a few guitar sounds in the prelude appeared.

For Xu Minghao, who lives with music day and night, music is like water and fish.

From the simple and pure prelude of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", he could sense a certain kind of comfortable and peaceful emotion from the rhythm and melody, and even a picture appeared in his mind——

The sky is like ink, and the stars are twinkling.

The night is decorated with the bright stars, which is as picturesque as a poem.

The flickering frequency of those dots seems to be just like the intervals between each guitar tone in the prelude.

Xu Minghao was stunned by the intro of this song!

He quickly came to his senses and frowned slightly.

There's a problem!

This song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is not quite right!

Something is wrong!

This Xiao Ning has never learned to write songs at all!

How did he write such a graphic prelude?

How did he do it?

Xu Minghao felt vaguely uneasy.

In the studio, Xiao Ning's singing slowly sounded.

"The brightest star in the night sky

Can you hear me clearly

The one who looks up

The loneliness and sigh in my heart...

The brightest star in the night sky

Can you remember

Walked with me

The figure disappearing in the wind..."

The melody is as simple as the intro, but the eloquent singing and lyrics, and the faint sense of sadness, arouse everyone's emotions at the same time.

The audience at the scene was infected.

Liu Weiwei's eyes lit up as she stood behind the auditorium.

Qian Zhen, who was waiting for Xiao Ning backstage, opened his mouth.

Sun Ye, who was watching TV at home, was confused.

In the dressing room.

Wei Min was so surprised that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

And Xu Minghao remained indifferent before Xiao Ning took the stage.

Now my fists are clenched and red.

"Let you go today!"

"Final next week!"
Chapter completed!
