Chapter 106 The top singer who can only sing ballads
The second contestant, "The Flying Tiger", sang a more classic folk song - "Looking at You in Thousands of Water and Mountains".
As soon as this song came out, the three judges couldn't help frowning.
It’s not that the song is not good, but that this kind of song is not suitable for competitions, and... The song title of "Watching You in Thousands of Water and Mountains" looks OK, but the style is a bit niche and retro.
Um-
The word "retro" is used more euphemistically. If you put it bluntly, it is outdated.
It is true that the singing skills of "Flying Tiger" are very good. You can tell that you are absolutely powerful as soon as you open your mouth, but no matter how good your singing skills are, it is difficult to hide many of the flaws of this song.
At least, compared to "One and One" adapted by "Benbenben", his overall performance is obviously much inferior.
One song is finished.
Applause was heard on the spot, but compared with No. 1 player "Benben", the audience's enthusiasm was obviously not that high.
The judges' comments begin—
"Tiger has a good singing skills, and today's performance is completely fine, but..."
Xu Jinhao frowned: "I can't understand why I chose such a classic folk song to participate in the competition? I don't mean to discriminate against folk songs. I also like folk songs very much, but these kinds of songs are obviously not suitable for participating in the competition. I can't understand. Can you ask contestant No. 2 to solve my doubts?"
"Flying Tiger" was silent for a few seconds and said, "I think folk songs are good, so I sang them."
This answer...
Xu Jinhao frowned even more and took a deep breath: "It's okay to like folk songs, but I think there is something wrong with your attitude towards the stage and the competition. I can only give you 40 points here, sorry."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
"The full score of 100 is deducted 60 points directly. It's so cruel."
"I think I deserve to lose points. The No. 2 player's attitude towards the competition is too unpositive. He sings whatever he wants, and he doesn't consider whether it's appropriate."
"The song "Watching You in Thousands of Mountains" is quite nice, but it's a bit outdated. It's been so many years, and it's okay to have a square dance, but it's not suitable to use it for competition... isn't it?"
"Teacher Xu still gave me some face. If it were the past, with Teacher Xu's personality, I would probably not give me a single point."
"Teacher Xu is old, please understand."
The audience was talking.
at the same time--
The other two guests also came out.
Niu Yukun gave 60 points, because the song is too old and has not made any adaptations, lacks novelty and cannot keep up with the times.
Qu Wenxing scored 70 points. Among the three judges, he gave the highest score, but the reason is undisputed, that is, the singing skills of "Flying Tiger" are indeed good and are very suitable for singing folk songs.
Immediately afterwards, the audience scored.
The final score of "Flying Tiger" is: 837 points.
...
Backstage, lounge.
"It's 837 points, so miserable. It's a gap of more than 200 points with Mr. Benben."
Wang Xiaoyu showed an incredible expression on his face, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask Xiao Mo: "Teacher Wangcai, what do you think?"
"Sit and watch."
Xiao Mo answered casually.
Wang Xiaoyu:???
"If I guess correctly, Tiger should also know that playing folk songs will suffer. The reason why he doesn't change other songs is not necessarily because he likes folk songs or disrespects the competition."
Xiao Mo said suddenly.
"ah?"
Wang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, reacted and asked quickly: "Teacher Wangcai, what do you mean?"
"If I guess correctly..."
Xiao Mo pondered for a moment: "He may only know how to sing folk songs."
Only know how to sing folk songs?
Wang Xiaoyu was a little unbelievable. When Qu Wenxing (an veteran singer) commented, he said that "Flying Tiger" has a strong singing skills and can rank among all the first-line singers in Qinzhou. How could such a powerful singer only know how to sing folk songs?
"Maybe I didn't make it clear."
Seeing the doubts in Wang Xiaoyu's eyes, Xiao Mo thought for a while and added: "I mean, he is not good at anything other than folk songs, and may even... Influenced by his voice conditions and habits, he sings like folk songs. So, instead of singing other songs, he sang four-dimensional songs, it is better to sing folk songs with one stone, although the final result is not ideal."
“…”
Wang Xiaoyu understood a little: "Is there any such singer?"
She couldn't help but start thinking, among the top singers in Qinzhou, which male singer started his business purely with folk songs?
A few familiar faces passed by her mind like a movie. Suddenly, her inspiration flashed, and her memory stopped on a familiar vicissitudes of face and blurted out: "Can it be Cai..."
"Shh!"
Xiao Mo suddenly reached out and stopped, saying mysteriously: "Although there is no one other than him, it's boring to say it out. The show will be broadcast, so let the audience have some suspense."
“…”
Wang Xiaoyu quickly shut up. After a few seconds, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Teacher Wangcai, have you guessed it?"
"I guessed it when he started singing the first sentence."
Xiao Mo said lightly.
In fact, before participating in the competition, Xiao Mo paid special attention to all singers who could become "competitors".
He is very confident in his strength. Looking at the huge Qinzhou, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to be his "strong enemy", and these people are all in Xiao Mo's "preparation list".
There is a saying on Earth in my previous life: Knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle.
Xiao Mo is very optimistic about the program "The King of Masked Singer" and believes that it is likely to become a hit in the music variety show market.
For the sake of maximizing interests, he will of course find ways to get more exposure opportunities in this show, so he carefully studied all potential opponents.
Xiao Mo has paid special attention to the singer named "Cai" that Wang Xiaoyu blurted out. He has heard many of his songs. When thinking about problems from the perspective of God, it is easy to detect where the other party’s dilemma is.
so--
When the song "Watching You in Thousands of Waters and Mountains" came out, the first photo that popped up in Xiao Mo's mind was this old singer named Cai.
And in the following singing, he became more and more sure of his guess.
...
Meanwhile, in other lounges.
"If I guess correctly, it should be Senior Cai."
Wei Yang said lightly.
Her voice was a little cold. When she mentioned the three words "Senior Cai", she did not respect her much, but instead she was a little condescending and indifferent.
"The only teacher Cai can sing "Watch You in Thousands of Waters and Mountains" so well."
Maotu said with a chuckling "Carrot".
"It should be Lao Cai? His question is still the same as before. I asked this question when I performed on the same stage with him, but he didn't listen and said I didn't understand..."
Chenlong shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, with a bit of gloating in his calm voice.
Obviously—
At this moment, all the contestants have guessed the true identity of the "flying tiger". Some people feel sorry for each other, some people ignore it, and some people gloat about it.
