Wen Zheng entered the system mall, first glanced at the current worship value, and found that it had increased to more than 300 million in just a few days, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Last time, it was because he lost a lot of adoration points, so he could only make up the numbers by casually playing songs.
The past few days have been quite busy.
With more than 300 million worship points in hand, I feel a lot more confident.
Browsing through the system mall, he quickly fell in love with a song worth 200 million adoration points.
When he failed last time, the judges had pointed out that they wanted him to challenge a more difficult song. He was confident that this song would definitely meet the judges' wishes. After all, few people on Blue Star would dare to cover it.
However, when he confirmed the purchase, the system pop-up window popped up:
"Qiu Mi! The balance of worship points is insufficient, and the song "Who Knows the Heart of the Prodigal" is temporarily unavailable!"
Wen Zheng was stunned for a moment. He clearly had more than 300 million adoration points, but downloading this song only cost 200 million adoration points. How come he didn't have enough balance?
No matter how good I am at math, I can still tell which is bigger, three or two.
"Huh? Damn it!"
Wen Zheng took a closer look at the download price and immediately cursed, "Why did it suddenly rise to 400 million adoration points?!"
"Qiumi! Due to your negative attitude in the last game, you failed to enter the top three. The system rewards are cancelled, and the prices of all purchases in the mall are temporarily doubled!"
"..."
With a shortfall of tens of millions in adoration points, Wen Zheng didn't know where to go from here.
Now he can't compete with Ye Xiaoxue for public opinion, and since the competition is tomorrow, there isn't enough time left for him to earn tens of millions of adoration points.
Start a live broadcast?
No no no.
This idea only crossed his mind and was rejected by him.
Without the company to warm him up, it would be difficult for the live broadcast to achieve the desired effect. If he overturns in front of the camera, he will have to lose his only 300 million admiration points.
Just when he was thinking about how to get some worship points safely and quickly, Ye Xiaoxue suddenly asked:
"Why do you look so bad? Lin Qi can't sing well?"
"Huh? What?"
Wen Zheng woke up from his dream and seemed a little confused.
Ye Xiaoxue pointed to the stage and said: "The song you wrote for Lin Qi, I think it fits her temperament very well. No wonder you said this song is about Boy Killer, it's very good."
Before Ye Xiaoxue could finish speaking, Wen Zheng looked at her with burning eyes and asked, "Will you sing the opening show tomorrow?"
"Yes, yes."
Ye Xiaoxue looked at Wen Zheng warily, and at the same time subconsciously moved to the side, "What's wrong? You look like you want to eat someone. This is a public place, you can control it."
Wen Zheng said happily: "Can you do me a favor? Change the opening song, and I will give you one for free. Sing the song I gave you!"
"Uh...this..."
Ye Xiaoxue was confused, "Well, didn't the company arrange it? It's not time yet. Besides, the show team and I have decided on the opening song."
Wen Zheng said hurriedly: "Not counting the three songs agreed upon. As for the program team, I will call Mr. Zhao right away."
"Oh well."
Although Ye Xiaoxue didn't know what caused Wen Zheng's sudden madness, she still nodded.
She believed that Mr. Wen Zheng would not harm her.
Wen Zheng called Zhao Qiuxing, and Ye Xiaoxue was clearly arranged by her.
Not long after, Wen Zheng handed her the lyrics and music, and said in a deep voice: "You will sing this song "Under the Sea" when it opens tomorrow."
Ye Xiaoxue took it and looked at it, wondering: "Are you sure? I have no problem with the treble part, but... this is obviously a duet by two people!"
Wen Zheng looked at her dreamily without saying a word.
Ye Xiaoxue frowned, then immediately smiled and said: "After going around for a long time, you want to take advantage of my opening show opportunity?"
"Ahem...what about that," Wen Zheng said shamelessly, "Since you took the initiative to invite me, I will reluctantly accept it."
Ye Xiaoxue said nothing, but looked at Zhao Xia and others who were gathered together for discussion.
"Otherwise, let them accompany you. Rehearse now?"
Wen Zheng hesitated.
Ye Xiaoxue nodded and said with a smile: "I think it's okay. How about this? As long as there is a chance to open the show in the future, we will just divide it like this?"
“The boss is awesome!”
Wen Zheng sighed, and then asked Ye Xiaoxue to prepare with the others.
As for himself, he began to write the lyrics and music of "Who Knows the Prodigal's Heart" based on his memory, so that the program team could prepare the accompaniment in advance.
As long as he plays hard at the opening tomorrow and earns enough worship points by then, the original soundtrack of the song can be downloaded for his use.
It's not that he doesn't believe in his current strength, it's actually Wang Jie's song. It's difficult for ordinary people to sing what he wants to express in the song without his voice and skills.
After accumulating enough worship points and purchasing songs, he can transform into a walking soundtrack CD, and the game will be foolproof.
As for other people, no one would refuse the offer of multiple shots.
The next day.
The competition was held on time, and the only difference from the qualifying round was that the promotion rules this time had a lot of changes.
After the first round of the twenty contestants, only those with a score of 90 or above can be directly promoted, while those with a score of below 90 will need to compete for promotion spots through the revival round.
As for the promotion rules for the Easter Round:
Each person has one chance. Ranking is not looked at, only scores are looked at. There is no limit to the number of people who can advance.
It's just that the promotion score has become more than 85 points.
The reason why the program team changed the rules like this is that after the finals, everyone knew that the judges preferred the contestants' original songs. They did not look at the ranking based on the scores, and there was no specific promotion quota. They just wanted to select singers and composers.
A capable singer;
Secondly, this is also the purpose of the Dragon Star Singer Competition.
Strength is something that can be blown up by traffic, but it is something that trolls can't hack.
In short, singers who can participate in the comprehensive finals must sing well and also have certain creative abilities. The program team wants the final scene to be like a fight between gods.
In this way, the program team forces the singers to squeeze their own strength.
Because once they enter the finals, no matter whether they win or lose, they will be the face of the Dragon Country music scene in the future.
The difficulty of the game increases, the competition becomes more brutal, and the pressure on the players is not small, but the corresponding enthusiasm of the audience is also high.
The number of viewers in Yuanlang's live broadcast room has exceeded 100 million before the anchor's screen is cut.
The ticket prices for this game were much higher than during the qualifying round, but despite this, the stadium was packed with seats.
After the commercial.
There was a familiar scene again on the stage.
The opening lineup of Wen Zheng's six-member team has been continued, and the lineup is so luxurious that it can be said to be rare in today's industry.
Drummer Lin Qi is recognized as a rising star in the music industry.
The bassist and two guitarists, that is, Shang Yingying, Zhao Xia, and Luo Guangcai, although they are less famous, they often follow Wen Zheng around, so they have naturally attracted countless fans.
Although Ye Xiaoxue, one of the lead singers, has been constantly questioned on the Internet recently, it is undeniable that she is the champion of the Northwest Division and the finalist.
Wen Zheng, needless to say, in less than a year he has become a great figure in the industry.
Can this lineup be assembled elsewhere?
As the accompaniment sounded slowly, the song information appeared on the live broadcast screen.
"seabed"
Singer: Ye Xiaoxue, Wen Zheng
Lyrics and music: Wen Zheng
Accompaniment: Lin Qi, Zhao Xia, Luo Guangcai, Shang Yingying
When the audience saw the name behind the lyrics and music, they immediately put their hearts in their stomachs.
So far, Wen Zheng has never disappointed anyone.
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds,
Hidden from the crowd, spread out like the scales of the sea."
As soon as Ye Xiaoxue opened her voice, everyone was dumbfounded, and the barrage filled the screen with shit.
"Is this still the Ye Xiaoxue I know? This voice is so penetrating!"
"Why does it feel like she suddenly became rich and bold? Didn't she always speak softly in the past?"
"Ye Xiaoxue's voice directly overturned my understanding of her. It turns out that she can still control this style of songs. It seems that she had hidden her clumsiness before."
…
Amid the heated discussions, Ye Xiaoxue's performance remained steady.
"The waves wet your white skirt and try to push you back.
The waves sing a lullaby, hoping to warm you.
Listen to the depths of the sea, whose cry is guiding you, your soul sinks into silence, and no one wakes you up."
In just a few lyrics, Ye Xiaoxue vividly demonstrated the results of Wen Zheng's line-by-line training. Of course, if she didn't have such a voice and strength, it would be useless no matter how much Wen Zheng personally guided her.
After all, during yesterday's rehearsal, the other four people listened to Ye Xiaoxue's full-throated singing, but they all felt that they could never master this song.
At this time, the live broadcast room was boiling:
"Ye Xiaoxue's singing really made me feel the word "sea bottom", but why do I feel that the bottom of the sea is on the prairie?"
"I feel the same way! The way she sang today, I felt like she brought the sea to the grassland, and sang like a deja vu bandit on the grassland."
"Don't worry about the grassland and the sea, just say it's amazing or not? Hey guys, are you convinced or not?"
"I love it, I love it. It turns out that she also has such a great singing voice! This is definitely the biggest surprise in the music industry this year!"
"By the way, Wen Zheng is holding a microphone, what are you doing there? Listener, please go back to your seat, security guard, the on-site security guard is here!"
"There will come a time when Wen Zheng becomes someone else's backdrop, hahaha!"
…
Just when netizens were ridiculing Wen Zheng for becoming an ordinary audience member who infiltrated the celebrity scene, Wen Zheng suddenly spoke up.
"You like the salty smell of the sea breeze and stepping on the wet sand;
You said that people’s destination should be returned to the sea;
You ask me where I want to go back, and no one loves you, can the world stop..."
Just a few words of rap instantly set off the atmosphere of the scene.
Amidst the cheers, netizens swallowed subconsciously, this is such a wonderful arrangement!
"Wen Zheng will not disappoint. This song is different from the "Compendium of Materia Medica". I said it feels like the Buddha's light is shining all over the place. Isn't that too much?
"
"Inject your soul instantly!"
"Wen Zheng's rap today even has a sense of electronic music. Am I hallucinating?"
"It's such a magnetic rap chant, I'm already hooked."
…
Ye Xiaoxue followed Wen Zheng and continued singing:
“I always like to smile at cool people, and people on the shore have nothing to do with me.
The world is short-lived and everything disappears into smoke."
Just when everyone thought Ye Xiaoxue would continue singing a long section, Wen Zheng's voice took over the singing again.
It's still rap, but it has more power.
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds...
Sadness cannot be felt with just a few words...
You ask me where the road leads, and the road leads to me and I am waiting for you."
Before the audience could recover from Wen Zheng's singing, Ye Xiaoxue sang the opening line again, but her voice felt more ethereal and lofty than before, as if she was standing alone under the moonlight, facing the vast sea.
Or maybe someone is shouting and singing deep in the grassland, and the response can be vaguely heard.
"The scattered moonlight passed through the clouds...
There is light looking for you, it wants to warm you.
It says you listen, if someone calls you back."
Even though Ye Xiaoxue's voice gave people goose bumps, her gentle rap didn't give the audience any chance to breathe.
"You like the salty smell of the sea breeze...
You ask me where I will go when I miss you, if anyone loves you, and why the world is so quiet."
At this moment, Lin Qi and others should really be reduced to the background, but no one cares about this anymore.
Because it’s Ye Xiaoxue’s solo time again.
"I always like people who are cold and indifferent... Who dares to say that every year in the world is like smoke."
After two sentences, Wen Zheng and Ye Xiaoxue began to sing:
"It's too late, it's too late,
You have laughed and cried;
Too late, too late,
I will also sing to you;
It rains in spring, cicadas chirp in summer, and tomorrow will be a good day.
The autumn wind blows, the snowflakes are light, and the four seasons are invisible under the sea."
After the song was sung, the scene was eerily silent. The stadium, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was currently packed with seats, but it was so quiet that one could hear the drop of a pin.
I don’t know when, maybe it was when Ye Xiaoxue sang for the second time, or when the two of them started to sing together, the scene that was originally filled with thunderous applause, cheers, and shouts gradually became quiet.
If we say at the beginning, the audience was shocked by the stunning performances of Ye Xiaoxue and Wen Zheng, which were different from the past.
So, as the lyrics gradually become more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts, as the audience gradually feels the healing and hope conveyed by the lyrics and music, and as the last two people sing together, I will sing it to you even if it is too late.
All the audience were unconsciously caught up in the emotions this song wanted to express.
It's like seeing light in the dark and desperate seabed; it's like the words sung are too late, but it's clearly too late; it's like there's an infinite force pushing people towards the spring flowers that although they can't see in the eyes, they know in the bottom of their hearts that there will definitely be flowers.
Open land.
The host came on stage with the intention of easing the unexpected silence, but the always harsh judge No. 5 was the first to speak out:
"Sorry, I really just want to say a few words.
First of all, the singing of Ye Xiaoxue and Wen Zheng, including the accompaniment of the following contestants, really gave me a big surprise. I can give all the contestants a standard. If each of you sings and writes well in the next competition,
If it is of this level, then I can guarantee that you will definitely have the last laugh!
Secondly, the appeal of this song deserves recognition. Every line of the two singers contains compassion and love. I believe that those who really understand it will be filled with tears at this time."
At this point, he sighed and said: "I think popular singers will never understand what the emotions contained in songs are."
After saying that, he bowed deeply towards the stage.
Suddenly, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and countless people shouted the names of Ye Xiaoxue and Wen Zheng.
The audience in the live broadcast room kept tapping the keyboard.
"This is the strength that the national team should have!"
"Wen Zheng's lyrics and music... I suddenly felt aggrieved for him. I have to go through so much sorrow and still have hope to write such healing lyrics."
"Warden No. 5 bowed. It's not easy. The brothers at the scene also said thank you to Wen Zheng and Ye Xiaoxue for me."
"Sadness cannot be felt in a few words and brought to tears in an instant."
"Spring rain, summer cicadas chirping, tomorrow will be a good weather, I instantly broke my guard..."
"There is a feeling of soul being redeemed, gentle and powerful."
"I understand, you have to believe in the light, because there is light waiting to be called... Tiga!"
"Damn it, that Diga guy, don't leave after school. Are you a devil?!"
