A song about a southern girl made her ex-girlfriend cry on the judges' bench

"Please be quiet."

The director simply maintained order on the scene.

After a while, Ding Chongdong, who gave zero points, took the lead and said:

"Judge Zhou Ningqing, I want to hear why you gave it 9 points. Is this the highest score you have ever given?"

Zhou Ningqing nodded:"Yes, but I would like to hear the opinions of the three judges first. Teacher Zong Xiao?"

Teacher Zong Xiao heard that he was being cueed, thought for a moment and said:

"The reason why I gave it 3 points is simple. This is a love song. Love songs, especially those with explicit lyrics, have always been considered to be unpresentable."

"I am not biased against love songs, but this is the fact. Lyrics are an important part of a song. If the lyrics are not up to standard, then my evaluation of this song will be greatly reduced."

"I gave it three points, largely because this song was originally written by the contestant. Otherwise, my score would be even lower.

Ding Chongdong was the second to speak, saying:

"I have a similar opinion to Zong Xiao. At first, I also wanted to give it 3 points, but then I thought, after the show is broadcast, everyone will pay attention to how we judges score."

"I gave it a zero as a warning, to tell the subsequent contestants who want to be original not to pursue novelty too much. There are some things that can be touched, and some things that cannot be touched."

"Innovation is allowed, but it must be done in accordance with the rules and not blindly. Why is the world not prosperous? Is it because everyone can't write a song?"

"I hope every innovator will think carefully and ask themselves more often why there is no style they want to create in the world. Are they geniuses, or have they crossed a red line that others are unwilling to cross?"

"That's all I have to say. Fan Ying, you haven't told the other contestants your true identity yet, right? Would you like to take this opportunity to tell them?"

Fan Ying knew what he meant. He got such a low score that he might not be able to enter the semi-finals.

Today was his last time on stage.

Ding Chongdong hoped that he would use his personal experience as a lesson to warn future contestants to work harder on the lyrics.

Fan Ying took the microphone and said:

"Hello everyone, I am Fan Ying, a contestant from the Shanghai Division, and also the Masked Man himself."

"What? He is the Masked Man?"

"Holy shit, what did I hear? Did I hear correctly, he said he was the Masked Man?"

"That is to say.....This guy not only sang a love song in the audition, but he also sang a love song in the finals?"

The contestants were shocked and at the same time admired Fan Ying very much.

If it were them, they would have improved the song in the finals after singing a controversial song in the audition.

Fan Ying, on the other hand, just walked right into the trap!

No wonder Ding Chongdong gave him zero points.

Knowing his mistakes and not correcting them, isn't this looking down on them, the professional judges, and the program team?

Zhou Ningqing had already given him a chance during the audition, but he didn't know how to cherish it!

Yu Xinyao said:"The first two judges have already said everything I wanted to say. Let me add one last point."

"Fan Ying, your singing skills are beyond doubt. I gave you 5 points largely because of your singing skills. You are the best singer among all the contestants who have performed so far. I only deducted 5 points because of your song selection."

"If you had chosen a song that was relatively well-known on the charts, with your singing level just now, you would have been very likely to get full marks from me."

"But I'm sorry, no matter how well each contestant performs, they only have one chance to sing. If your total score cannot reach the top 100, unfortunately, your journey of"Sing Out Yourself" may end here."

She looked at Fan Ying and found that he looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about the result.

Whether he really didn't care or was pretending, she was a little surprised. It

's rare for a young person to have such a state of mind.

As a judge, she didn't feel very good about eliminating such a contestant.

But rules are rules. No matter how well Fan Ying sings, the public will still not accept love songs.

"The opinions of the three judges are very pertinent.

Finally, Zhou Ningqing made the last comment.

"But did you misunderstand the rules of this round?"

Zhou Ningqing raised his hand to indicate:

"Director, can you repeat the rules you just mentioned?"

The three judges looked at her, not knowing what she was going to do. The director didn't understand, but still said:

"This round of competition requires each contestant to prepare a 60-second a cappella performance. The four judges will score the contestants based on their singing skills. The top 100 contestants will advance, and the worst will be eliminated."

Zhou Ningqing said,"Director, can I understand this way? The rule for this round is to only score the singing skills and not consider other factors?"

The director thought about it and finally nodded.

They are a talent show, and it is the first round of the finals, so of course they have to compete in singing skills.

Stage effects and action design are things that should only be considered in the finals or on the eve of debut.

At the current stage, the only requirement of the program team is singing skills.

Other aspects are just icing on the cake.

After getting the director's confirmation, Zhou Ningqing said:

"Thank you, Director. Since this round is about singing skills, we as judges should only score based on singing skills."

"I just heard the three judges questioning the contestants' lyrics. I want to say, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

All the contestants present heard this, and many of them opened their mouths in disbelief.

Is Zhou Ningqing going to fight against the three judges on her own?

Especially the contestants from the Magic City competition area, they feel familiar with such scenes.

During the initial auditions, Zhou Ningqing was the same. She would rather offend other judges than not stick to her own ideas and successfully send Fan Ying to the finals.

If it weren't for her, Fan Ying would never have come here.

Of course, they didn't think there was any special relationship between Zhou Ningqing and Fan Ying, they just thought it was the judges' cherishment of talent.

Only Lu Qingqing had a strange look on her face.

In her impression, Zhou Ningqing was a shy and introverted girl.

Over the years since her debut, Zhou Ningqing's personality has indeed changed a lot, and she has become stronger. Some, but being in the entertainment industry, she also knows when to be strong and when not to.

Fan Ying’s singing skills are indeed good, but the controversy is too great. Not to mention the other three judges, I’m afraid even the program team wants him to be eliminated in this round.

But Zhou Ningqing did the opposite and tried to keep Fan Ying in the next round.

If they were not acquaintances, or if there was any interest involved, why would they fight so hard?

Lu Qingqing suddenly thought of the last season when the two of them competed together. Zhou Ningqing always had red eyes, and she wouldn’t say anything when asked about something.

Later, when they became familiar with each other, she mentioned her ex-boyfriend a few times.

A woman’s sixth sense told her that Fan Ying must have a close relationship with Zhou Ningqing.

There was a gossipy light in her eyes!
