Chapter 287
On the Internet, the song "Coral Sea" swept across the entire Internet like a tornado.
"Woo hoo hoo, we want a love song duet, but not a sad love song!"
"Damn it, make sure to make it clear next time you make a wish."
"I knew the promise thief had bad intentions. Do any of you still remember what he said, 'Whenever he thinks readers will cry, he wants to laugh'?" From this look, he is a fan of "Shading the Sky".
At that time, Qin Yao died, and a bunch of people were clamoring to open the blind box, but Xu Nuo even uttered this classic quote from Teacher Yu Hua at the celebration.
It almost caused a riot, but fortunately he resurrected Qin Yao in the finale, which saved a lot of knives.
"You thief, you want to fall in love with us, but you want us to break your defense."
Netizens cursed and cursed, but they clicked on the video. Don't tell me, it sounds funny.
"As expected of me, I have been doing it for a whole year. Even singing sad songs makes me feel so good."
Several hot searches appeared on the Internet.
# The promised thief will die!
# "Coral Sea" The seabird and the fish fell in love, it was just an accident~
Netizens are discussing the topic lively, and music critics from all walks of life are online.
They have already taken a hit from the traffic of "Courage". "Did Lin Wanqing give you the courage?" quickly became the golden line of the night, and it is obvious that it will last for a long time.
As for "Running", it is an inspirational song, and "Running with the wind and freedom is the direction~" will definitely become a classic.
If there is a music critic's favorite singer, last year it was Lin Wanqing, then this year it is the promise.
Each of his songs is enough for them to write three or five music reviews. Every aspect of the lyrics, composition, and arrangement is enough for them to sing about for a long time, and netizens are willing to buy it.
This time, everyone is focusing on "Coral Sea".
Their intuition told them that this song would definitely be included in the new album "New Era".
The first song is "Qili Xiang", the second song is "Coral Sea", one is sweet and the other is sad, it is simply amazing.
This wave of traffic must be eaten, and it will not work for anyone.
An article with a very exaggerated title "Qilixiang - the pinnacle of sweet songs in the Chinese music scene, Coral Sea - the pinnacle of tragic love songs so far" spread on the Internet.
When "Qili Xiang" first came out, it shocked many seniors in the industry, such as Mr. Lu Xinzhi, who publicly stated that the arrangement of this song should be used as a textbook.
Wu Gaofeng said: "I can't write this song."
Top singers one after another have expressed their affirmation of this song, and many professors also regard this song as a classic case.
The complexity of the arrangement is unimaginable, it is the pinnacle of complexity.
"The work of the gods!"
"The number one love song in a century!"
"It's amazing. I'm afraid no one in the music world can write this kind of song."
No matter how picky a music critic is, they can't make more demanding demands on this song.
Now some people actually compare "Coral Sea" to "Qilixiang", so I have to take a look.
Netizens clicked into this article.
"First of all, from the perspective of lyrics, have you noticed that every sentence rhymes with ai, every sentence is ai, even the sentence 'the seabird and the fish fell in love, it was just an accident'."
"In addition, I want to say that the lyrics of this Coral Sea song are actually very particular, and there are many sentences with great literary connotations. The ancients once said, "The geese are in the clouds and the fish are in the water, and it is difficult to express melancholy." This is different from "Seabirds and fishes" "Love is just an accident" is the same artistic conception. It is no exaggeration to say that there are only a handful of people in the Chinese music world who can write such words.
Netizens curiously went back to search for the lyrics and found that they were indeed true.
"Okay, okay, just secretly go there and tell us it was just an accident, right?"
"It has to be you!"
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some money."
Netizens love to see little surprises in songs like this.
AI rhymes, which undoubtedly makes everyone feel like they have discovered a little secret.
The backhand of the expert is just a like and a retweet.
Continuing to read below, music critics analyze the difficulty of this song.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Say important things three times. Don't try to sing this song at KTV or competitions. Believe me, you will be laughed at for the rest of your life."
"It's difficult to speak # A2. If you don't have the talent for high notes, I suggest you don't try it easily. It's a small thing to be laughed at, but it's a big thing to damage your vocal cords!"
"If you really want to sing, I suggest you lower the key."
The music critic's suggestions are very pertinent. This song sounds good, and everyone wants to try it, but they still have to act within their capabilities.
Of course, netizens are quite rebellious, so why don’t you say no? I had to try it.
Just so rebellious.
So soon various imitations appeared on the Internet, and the effect can only be said to be comparable to a pig's roar.
However, some anchors successfully sang it and gained tens of thousands of fans in a short time.
Anchors like two kinds of songs the most, one is popular and the other is difficult, and "Coral Sea" has both.
There was a wave of imitation on the Internet.
The review of "Coral Sea" is not over yet: "As for the arrangement, I found that Nuoyan particularly loves piano and string music. It is gorgeous and magnificent, but not rigidly clichéd. It is a work of genius."
The fans nodded one after another. Indeed, after listening to Nuoyan's song and then listening to other songs, they always felt that the songs were not on the same level.
The songs he wrote for Kevin Shen and Yuzhou before were also very good, but not as shocking as the recent songs.
"The harmony part is very difficult and the vocal range is very high, but the two of them can do it easily, neatly and without any sloppiness. There are no more than two figures in the entertainment industry who can sing this harmony well."
It is true that not many people can sing the harmony part well. There are only a handful of cover versions of this song that can sing well, and so far only Jay Chou and Joey Yung can sing it well.
"Now it seems that the album is called New Era, which is not too arrogant, because his songs don't seem to belong to this era. The compositions and arrangements are wild and unconstrained, and the antelope hangs its horns. Perhaps "New Era" means that this is his era. ”
Music critics are making rainbow farts and praising "Coral Sea" from all angles.
It’s not that they are recharged, and the promise is the traffic password.
Magic City Stadium.
After a tsunami of applause and cheers, the concert finally came to an end.
However, all the subsequent songs are more than inferior to "Coral Sea".
After eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, eating home-cooked meals is almost boring.
At this time, the second stage of the peak night of the finals finally began.
There are four rounds of competition. Except for the first round where students sing with their instructors, the remaining three rounds are all solos.
Lin Wanqing and Xia Qi won first place in the first round, and Xia Qi won second place in the second round as a soloist. In the first two rounds, they ranked first in the audience vote and directly advanced to the fourth round.
Xia Qi will compete with the last student to advance to the fourth round for the championship.
Backstage, Lin Wanqing kept encouraging Xia Qi, "Believe in your own strength. It doesn't matter if you lose. Being able to get here is victory."
Xu Nuo didn't join in the fun and just closed his eyes on the chair to relax.
Finally, the much-anticipated championship battle begins.
The ratings began to rise steadily, and the performances excited the audience, allowing the audience to see what real music is.
Everyone who has reached the semi-finals has no doubt about their strength and has reached the standard for debut.
Finally it was Xia Qi's turn to perform. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. The three-hour concert dispelled the exhaustion of the audience with music that excited the audience.
"Xia Qi! Xia Qi! Xia Qi!"
As the favorite to win the championship, the audience is full of expectations for this petite girl with a loud voice.
With its own reverberation sound, just singing a cappella can give people the ultimate enjoyment.
Xia Qi waved to the audience, confident, bold and generous.
The piano melody that precedes the music is full of aura but majestic.
Song information is displayed on the large screen.
【Light Years Away】
【Lyrics: Promise】
【Composer: Promise】
[Singer: Xia Qi]
The hot man is at it again. Wherever he is, you will definitely see new songs.
This is the third singer he strongly supports. Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou shocked the audience with their new songs in the competition. So what about Xia Qi?
The audience is looking forward to her performance.
The lights on the stage turned into star lights, matching the vast Milky Way on the big screen.
The audience suddenly realized that it was no wonder it was called light-years away. Light-year is the largest unit of distance known to everyone, and sometimes people also use it to describe time.
In addition to the famous song "Bubble", "Light Years Away", which she wrote, composed and sang herself, is Deng Ziqi's most widely circulated song.
This song "Light Years Away" is not only very well-known in China, but also has the highest number of downloads in a row!
It is also very popular overseas and has been played more than 200 million times on YouTube. This is also the first Chinese song to exceed 200 million times on YouTube.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that "Light Years Away" was the first Chinese song to be sung at the NASA Awards Ceremony in the United States.
In 2018, Deng Ziqi was invited to attend the "Scientific Breakthrough Award" held by NASA in the United States, an awards ceremony known as the "Oscars of the scientific community", as an award guest, and sang "Light Years Away" live.
On the stage, Xia Qi raised the microphone and sang:
"Feeling stops at my fingertips,
How to freeze time instantly,
Remember to look into my firm eyes,
Maybe there is no tomorrow. "
Clear singing voice, unique voice, and the effect of opening your mouth and kneeling.
The audience at the scene felt as if their souls were soaring to the sky following the singing.
"Facing the vast sea of stars,
We are as small as dust,
Floating in helplessness~"
The big screen changed accordingly, and Xia Qi seemed to be on the starry sky, walking in the starry sky.
There is also a sentence on the screen: "Facing the vast sea of stars, we are as small as dust."
Although it is as small as dust, love can travel through time and ignore space.
Xia Qi was on the stage and continued to sing:
"Fate brings us together in troubled times,
But fate wants us to love each other in times of crisis,
Maybe the future is light years away,
I am willing to wait for you in the unknown..."
The melody has an ethereal feeling, but the rhythm is very powerful, as if it is taking everyone soaring in the endless starry sky.
Until now, this song has not shown the high notes that Xia Qi is famous for.
You must know that the first time the audience knew her was because of her high notes and reverb.
"What's going on? Why did you give up the high note in the final game?"
"And this song is obviously worse at stimulating the atmosphere."
The audience was puzzled. Every singer has his or her own area of expertise. The song promised to Xia Qi was undoubtedly a cut off.
"Maybe it's to avoid suspicion? After all, Xia Qi signed with Fanxing, Nuo Yan is the chief planner of the show, and Lin Wanqing is the mentor." Some people speculated whether this was the reason.
"As far as I know, Promise has never cared about such things."
"Wait for the chorus."
The students in the background secretly rejoiced. If it was to avoid suspicion, he would accept the championship with a smile.
The song finally gets to the exciting part.
Xia Qi is on full fire.
"Fate brings us together outside of troubled times...
Maybe the future is light years away..."
There is still no treble, but then there are transitions everywhere, switching back and forth between true and false tones.
The chorus is even more exciting.
"I never thought I could be so crazy for you,
If there is a landslide or tsunami, you will not want to escape at all.
My brain has gone crazy for you,
Your pulse and heartbeat are not important at all without you..."
At the end of the chorus, although there was no high note that Xia Qi was good at, the audience was also impressed by this switching between real and fake and smooth voice transition.
The students stopped laughing and the audience couldn't hear it, but that doesn't mean they couldn't hear it either.
This song has no high notes and is equally difficult.
In section B of the song, Xia Qi repeated section A, and finally sang: "When we meet in troubled times and fall in love in danger,
I didn’t expect~”
The music stopped abruptly.
The audience was quiet for a moment and burst into applause.
With touching lyrics and touching melody, Xia Qi has a unique voice and profound singing skills, and will sing about love that spans time and space.
The whole song creates a feeling of wandering in space, and the beautiful transposition makes the song never tire of listening.
The most successful thing about a song is that everyone is deeply impressed by certain lyrics after listening to it only once.
"Fate brings us together outside of troubled times~" This lyric has already made the audience sing along uncontrollably.
The sky above the Magic City Stadium is dotted with stars, and the brightest North Star is shining. Paired with the song "Light Years Away", the atmosphere is even more intense.
With the right time, right place and right people, Xia Qi gave the most exciting performance in the four rounds.
The audience knew that the game had lost its suspense.
The camera was shown to the media representatives, and everyone looked intoxicated.
The camera panned across the auditorium, where 80,000 people were waving glow sticks in unison.
"Xia Qi! Xia Qi!" The shouts gradually became unified and formed a powerful sound.
There was really no suspense anymore, and the whole audience shouted Xia Qi's name in unison.
This is the audience's recognition of her. In the live broadcast room, Xia Qi's name was mentioned all over the barrage.
Without a dark horse or a counterattack, Xia Qi has always been the biggest favorite to win the championship. She has excellent singing skills, a unique voice, and behind her there is a great figure like Nuo Yan.
In the end, everyone stood up, screaming and shouting wildly, and the huge wave seemed to overturn the entire stadium.
In the final stage of media voting and live audience voting, Xia Qi won the championship with a huge advantage.
In the rain of flowers all over the sky, Xia Qi shed tears on the spot.
"Let us congratulate Xia Qi with the warmest applause, the 2024 Chinese Voice of the Year - Xia Qi!"
Winning the championship, Xia Qi won the overall championship with a new song "Light Years Away"!
The peak night continues, with awards to come and a promised new song, the third song of the new album.
