The cross-border king of entertainment

Chapter 208 0208, Counterattack and Elimination

Tuesday is the recording time for the new issue of "I Am a Singer".

A variety show is not broadcast directly after recording, because the shooting time is very long, it may be several hours, or even more than ten hours, but the broadcast time will be limited to about two hours, so post-processing is required. Including subtitles, color correction, editing, dubbing, packaging, rendering, sound effect modulation, etc. The purpose of doing this is to make a variety show look better.

but……

The variety shows on Blue Star are somewhat different from those on Earth.

On Blue Star, variety shows are basically completed within a week from recording, post-production, and broadcasting; while on Earth, variety shows are mostly recorded this week and broadcast the next week, and some even last a whole season After all the recordings were finished, the broadcast started.

"This is my first time watching a variety show live, and I'm a little excited."

"It's okay, but it's also my first time."

……

At the recording site of the fourth issue of "I Am a Singer", two more people entered through the back door.

It was Yunfeng and Tang Yu.

Both of them had a work card with the word "assistant" hanging around their necks, which was brought by Chen Cheng.

I came here to feel the atmosphere of the scene, and to cheer for Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei.

There are three biggest highlights of "I Am a Singer", competition, kicking, and audience.

The most important thing in a singing program is the performance itself. Whether it is the accompaniment of the song or the control of the entire stage, it is the key to every performance of every singer.

In addition to the first singer, but also to create a sense of crisis for the show, then there needs to be a kick-off singer.

Then there is the audience. The audience who participated in the recording of the program is also a very important role. Although they are not the protagonists, their on-site status directly determines the quality of the on-site atmosphere.

Yunfeng was on Earth in his previous life, watched the first and second seasons of "I Am a Singer", and heard a rumor that some of the audience's tears were bought by the show crew. Simply put, " Actor" was not moved by the singing.

And this is a good opportunity to verify for yourself whether it is easier to be moved by listening and watching on the spot than on the screen.

"Tianpeng and Mengwei, this episode shouldn't be tense..." Tang Yu was a little worried.

Because she's been through it, she knows that overcoming stage fright is not easy.

Furthermore, Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei ranked at the bottom of the competition in the previous competition, and the pressure of this competition is even greater.

"I just sent a Weichat message to ask Brother Chen, and Brother Chen said that they are in a good state." Yunfeng thought to himself, after two days of special training, if the same situation as the previous period still occurs, there is no way out. up.

"I heard from Mengwei that they are singing your new song this issue." Tang Yu tilted her head to look at Yunfeng and asked, "When did you write a new song?"

Yunfeng thought for a while and said, "It's quite early, when school starts."

In fact, Tang Yu was already used to Yunfeng's high output, and asked, "Have you started writing the song you promised Sister Lin?"

Yunfeng said with a smile in his eyes: "It's in progress, why don't you write the song?"

Tang Yu smiled apologetically, and said frankly: "This, I can't help you anymore, I have no inspiration."

She has the heart to help Yunfeng share, and she has tried it, but she can't even write a melody, let alone a whole piece of music.

Yunfeng just said this, saying: "It's okay, I will go to collect folk songs during the National Day holiday."

He was also uninspired, and the song he wanted to give to Lin Zixuan was given by the system.

……

When the time came to 06:30 in the afternoon, the audience began to come in one after another.

After all the audience were seated, the on-site director came to the stage and talked about the program process and precautions.

Everything is ready.

Colorful lights shone on the scene. In the anticipation of Yunfeng, Tang Yu, and the audience, the first singer came on stage.

Yunfeng took a closer look and saw that it was He Qian. It seemed that she was unlucky in this issue, so she got the first competition.

Tang Yu on the side applauded along with the audience, feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart, wondering what song He Qian would sing in this issue and what style it would be adapted into.

Among the seven groups of singers, He Qian has the most varied styles, and each issue is different, so she is also the most anticipated.

The applause fell and the music started.

The melody played by the acoustic guitar is a bit sad...

One thing is certain now, this song is not Yunfeng's song.

"The wind is blowing, and the maple leaves are stepping on the shadow of the seasons, watching the long and short changes of the years..."

He Qian took the soulful route today, abandoning her soaring high pitch and showing another extreme in the wide range. The voice became deep and vicissitudes, flowing like a spring.

Yunfeng hadn't heard this song before, but it read "You Under the Maple Tree" on the notice board.

Judging from the melody and accompaniment, it should be a folk song.

Slowly, the audience raised their hands and swayed to the rhythm along with the music and singing.

I have to say that He Qian's voice is very contagious, and her emotional expression is also very good.

Yunfeng no longer has to worry about whether the tears of the audience are from the performance. On the spot, whether it is sight, hearing, or feeling, it is far superior to that in front of the screen, and it is very easy in the environment where thousands of people gather. Infected by the emotions of those around you.

"The next singer..." After He Qian finished singing, she guest-played as the host, and began to introduce the next competing singer and the song to be sung.

When she stepped off the stage from the side, she saw Yunfeng and Tang Yu, and waved to them both.

but……

The audience thought He Qian was greeting them and screamed.

"Goddess, Goddess..."

"He Qian, I love you!"

"You look so beautiful today!"

""You Under the Maple Tree" is so beautifully sung!"

"First, first!"

……

Yunfeng and Tang Yu couldn't figure out whether He Qian was waving to the two of them or to the audience.

However, out of politeness, he waved his hand in response.

During the recording, the appearances between singers and singers were not connected as they were during the broadcast, but were separated by a long period of time.

This is due to clearing the stage, setting up the cameras, and giving the orchestra a break and adjustment.

two hours later.

After the sixth group of singers finished singing and left the stage, Tang Yu said in a low voice, "Tianpeng and Mengwei are very lucky. This episode is the last competition."

Yunfeng nodded and said: "This is also one of the key factors for their counterattack this time."

In addition to the factors of personal performance, the order of appearance of the singers is particularly important, and the later order of appearance is the most popular, because the later the competition, the more memory fragments will be in the hearing mind, and the easier it is to be infected when voting. Singers also have an easier time getting potentially pivotal votes.

And Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei ranked last in the competition in the last round. If the first three contestants were drawn in this round, the probability of a counterattack would be at least halved.

But now they get the best order of appearance, and the rest depends on their performance on the spot.

At this point, backstage.

"Relax and don't think too much."

"Just bring out the level of rehearsal."

……

The manager and Chen Cheng gave them final encouragement.

Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei both nodded with a smile. Compared to the previous episode, they were in much better condition.

Under the leadership of the staff, the two came behind the curtain.

Xiao Tianpeng took a deep breath and said, "Come on."

Xu Mengwei said firmly: "We will do it."

They both cheered each other on.

……

After a short break, the recording starts again.

In the flickering lights, Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei held hands, clasped their fingers together, and walked slowly to the center of the stage.

The two of them are dressed very trendy and youthful today.

The place went quiet.

however……

This combination called "male talent and female appearance" has the lowest sense of expectation for the audience.

This is naturally due to the performance of pulling the hips in the previous period.

Seeing Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei's calm, firm and confident eyes, Yunfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dynamic music then sounded.

Xiao Tianpeng: "One, two, three, four!"

Together: "If you forget your name, please follow me

Now let us worship to joy
Please come with me if you put down your burden
Spread the word to build a happy age..."

The audience was amazed. Compared with the previous episode, this talented man and woman looked completely different.

There was no tension at all, and even danced.

Moreover, the song the two of them sang was a song they had never heard before.

Just now the sixth group of competing singers only introduced that "the next group of singers will sing his song again", and did not explain who this "he" is.

Those with good eyesight glanced at the prompt board under the stage.

original……

This "he" is "Yunfeng"!
At this time, the verse part is over, and we come to the chorus part.

Xiao Tianpeng: "What kind of wind blows in what era
i hold my mic

Sing Old School Show
Yall Ready To Roll
10's Retro I'm the Highest
Disco Fever
never say goodbye
Only funk can be cool

Men and women old and young

We wore flared trousers..."

This rap lyrics, coupled with the melody, has a joyful charm that makes people move when they hear it, and it really surprised the audience.

Tang Yu raised both hands to his chest, drawing circles with the dynamic rhythm.

Yunfeng also shook his head rhythmically.

Xiao Tianpeng's rap and singing progressed rapidly, speaking fast and clearly.

Although Xu Mengwei's words are not many, but the beautiful treble has a very catchy performance.

Dynamic dance, beautiful music, moving scene...

All the audience stood up, and the atmosphere of the audience exploded.

Seeing the enthusiastic response from the audience, Yunfeng and Tang Yu felt that Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei had stabilized today.

After the song was sung, there were waves of applause and cheers.

When Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei stepped off the stage, they saw Yunfeng and Tang Yu give them a thumbs up, with excitement after being praised.

Since they had to go to the lounge to meet the other six groups of singers, they couldn't stay here, they just waved to Yunfeng and Tang Yu and left.

Tang Yu asked, "Are we leaving here?"

Yunfeng replied: "Wait, I'll send a Weichat message to ask Brother Chen."

In the end, there was a recording to announce the results of the competition. He wanted to see it, but he had to ask if the assistant could be on the scene.

At the same time, the audience left and went outside to vote.

The off-site host waited for a long time, carrying a camera, looking for the subject of the interview.

"Handsome guy, which group of singers' performances do you like the most?"

"The last group, because it was so high, was very contagious."

……

"Auntie, which group of singers do you think performed the best today?"

"Hehehe, of course I support Leng Yiming, handsome old handsome, hehehe!"

……

"Miss, who will you vote for?"

"Male and female, they sang "Happy Worship", the lyrics are very interesting and vivid, and they seem to have been completely reborn, much better than the previous issue."

……

In the arena, after waiting for a short while, Tang Yu asked again: "How is it, Brother Chen, did you get back the Weichat news?"

Just as Yunfeng was about to shake his head, Chen Cheng's Weichat message came. After a glance, he said, "Brother Chen said no, let's go to the backstage to find him."

When the results of the competition are announced, only the agent can be present.

The two of them had work cards, they walked unimpeded, and soon came to the backstage.

As soon as Chen Cheng saw Yunfeng and Tang Yu, she asked, "How is it, how does it feel to watch "I Am a Singer" live?"

Yunfeng replied: "At close range, you can see more details, such as the performance of the singers on the stage, the tacit understanding between the bands, and the emotions expressed in the eyes of the audience when they applaud, which is different from that on the screen. Looking ahead, it’s two completely different experiences.”

Tang Yu nodded in agreement.

In fact, whether to watch the video or go to the scene is a philosophical question, and everyone has a different opinion.

You can watch videos anytime, anywhere, fast forward and rewind, and after post-processing, there are no noises from the scene.

But when you go to the scene, you can feel the waves of sound, swaying, cheering, intoxicated, and excited, and everyone is infected with each other.

Chen Cheng said again: "If you want to come again, please ask me to arrange."

Of course, the premise is that their company's artists have not been eliminated.

Yunfeng said, "It's enough to experience it once."

Tang Yu said with a smile: "The main reason is to come to Star City, so I have to take half a day off."

This is indeed the main reason. Although the recording only started at 06:30 in the afternoon, the location is in Star City. It takes five hours to take the high-speed train from Shanghai to Shanghai. You can't ask for leave every Tuesday afternoon.

Chen Cheng changed the subject and said, "What do you think of Tianpeng and Mengwei's performance in this episode? What are the chances of a counterattack?"

Tang Yu said without thinking: "Their performance is very good, I believe they can counterattack."

Yunfeng thought for a while, and analyzed objectively: "Judging from the audience's reaction, they are indeed the best, but He Qian, Leng Yiming, and Qi Feiyang are also not bad, and the top four votes may be very close."

Chen Cheng looked towards the scene and said, "I hope they won't be eliminated."

After about half an hour.

The door of the scene opened, and seven groups of singers and their managers came out.

The singers were chatting and laughing, and it was impossible to tell who was eliminated from their expressions.

but……

He Qian was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, which meant that she won the first round of votes in the two competitions and won the second round.

Yunfeng, Tang Yu, and Chen Cheng who were waiting outside hurried towards Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei.

Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei looked at each other.

Xiao Tianpeng sighed and said, "You should say it."

Xu Mengwei nodded, and said to several people: "We won the first place in this round, and the total number of votes in the two rounds was sixth, but we were still eliminated."

Chen Cheng comforted: "You have performed very well this time, you have proved your strength, don't be discouraged, there is still a rematch."

Tang Yu asked suspiciously, "Isn't the seventh eliminated?"

Yunfeng murmured: "Could it be because two groups of kick-off singers are added in this round?"

"Let me tell you..." Knowing this, Chen Cheng explained: "Fan Yixuan, who temporarily quit due to illness, just didn't participate in the recording of these two episodes, and will come back in the next episode, so this round will eliminate two groups singer."

For Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei, it was really sad to be eliminated, but they were also very happy to win the first place in this round.

I saw that the two of them came to Yunfeng and said "thank you" sincerely.

Without the words of that day and the song "Happy Worship", there would be no such first place in this issue.
