This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 141 Don’t you know how much money you have spent?
After the countdown, the first person to go on stage to sing was Wang Yong.

In order to ensure fairness as much as possible, Dai Mingli, who was to perform on stage later, was required to wear special headphones and other equipment to block out external sounds.

This is a new song that has never been released on the market. The singer who sings later can gain a great advantage by observing the singers who sang earlier.

So the program team needs to avoid this situation.

While Dai Mingli was changing the equipment, Wang Yong took the opportunity to quickly go over the entire song in his mind again.

During the final preparations, the barrage and the audience also began to consider the challenges that this song might bring to the subsequent "Singer" program.

"I'm so nervous. I feel like I'm more nervous than the two contestants on stage."

"It's such a great show. Have all the major manufacturers seen it? As long as they can invite Xu Feng, they can have anything."

"Compared to this, I want to know what kind of song Xu Feng's new song is and whether it's good or not."

"I feel like after these two people finish their competition, he will sing this song again by himself and the whole audience will be blown away. What a calculated plan!"

"I don't think it's that simple. I think I'll sing it during the second round of the Superstar Challenge."

It is indeed possible!
Many of the superstar candidates for this round of challenges have already narrowed down their scope to a very small circle by looking for IP changes on the Internet.

The program team selects singers, most of whom are international stars with first-tier talent and status. This range seems large, but in fact, someone with a heart can screen them all within a few days.

Then we keep an eye on the IP addresses of these people. If they change from abroad to domestic, it means that they may be invited to the stage by the program team.

"Among the few possible candidates, I feel like anyone who faces Xu Feng has a chance of failure!"

In the last round of confrontation with Lin Shenghuan, everyone had already seen Xu Feng's strength.

Although there was a new song released that time, no one had heard it yet, which led to Xu Feng's score being close to Lin Shenghuan in the end. It wasn't entirely due to hard power...

But just because you're one step short of Lin Sheng Huanqi doesn't mean you won't be enough when competing with other superstars.

Now let the two contestants with lower rankings warm up Xu Feng's new song and arouse the audience's curiosity.

And then show the power of the original singer in the second round... Tsk tsk, the pressure on the superstars who are going to perform on the stage this time will be huge.

However, we still have to look at the quality of Xu Feng's new song.

In fact, if you must say, all of Xu Feng’s songs are new songs—it’s only been more than two months since his official debut.

Even the first song released can still be counted as a new song.

The discussion among the audience stopped immediately after a burst of rapid piano music.

Since Xu Feng appeared, "music resources" themselves have become a rare resource - if you don't listen to it today, you may not be able to hear it in the future.

Before Xu Feng’s original version is released, the cover version cannot be released online. If you want to listen to it in the future, you can only open the replay of this variety show and drag it to the corresponding time, which is very troublesome.

Wait for this guy to release the original version...then wait.

Wang Yong began to sing: "Legend has it that there is a star in the vast galaxy that is him, who chose to stay after walking out of time."

"Qi Zhouzhong is incredibly gentle, quietly guarding his regrets."

"..."

After listening to the accompaniment and reading the lyrics, Wang Yong had a preliminary understanding of the song - the mood of this song was rather low from the beginning.

Then it slowly got higher...

Five minutes was indeed too short, and this was all he could analyze.

"God! Can you let me feel it? Since we are worried about each other..."

"..."

After hearing this climax, the audience did not cheer.

The accompaniment of this song is very nice, especially when the two words "God" are sung, it makes people feel extremely amazed.

As expected of Xu Feng’s product, the quality is still so stable.

But... I always feel that Wang Yong's understanding of the emotions of the entire song is a bit too formulaic.

There is nothing wrong with the sentiment of opening low and closing high, there is nothing wrong with it, but it just makes people feel that something is not right.

Singing is not a formulaic exercise...

Although you won’t go wrong by answering questions in a formulaic manner, the “Singer” stage is not a place where you can go far without making mistakes.

“The song is good, but I feel like the person didn’t sing it well.”

"How good can you perform in just five minutes? It's already pretty good to sing like this."

"Indeed, we still have to let the original singer perform."

"The chorus doesn't feel right. If you ask me what is right, I can't tell you, but I'm sure Xu Feng's singing style will be different."

"..."

This new song that has never been released has attracted surprisingly high discussion after the final answer came out. There were even many people in the audience arguing about it.

After singing, Wang Yong put down the microphone and breathed a sigh of relief - his performance just now was not bad.

It has to be said that although Xu Feng's song is not as expressive as his previous song "Lanting Preface", its singing difficulty is as demanding as ever in testing the singer's basic skills.

The melody itself has a wide range of up to 20 degrees!

The lyrics of the song are arranged densely and quickly. Wang Yong spent a lot of effort to control the pitch and beat, pronounce the words clearly, and interpret the emotions of the song in such a situation...

This is simply not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

In many places in this song, he inevitably made technical mistakes.

Amateur audiences may not be able to hear it, but the judges responsible for scoring will definitely be able to hear it.

"With only five minutes of preparation time, it's pretty good to be able to do this... Fortunately, the production team didn't go so far as to ask us to memorize the lines."

Wang Yong was basically satisfied with his performance just now.

After thanking the audience, Dai Mingli took off his headphones, calmed down his nervousness, picked up the microphone and walked to the front of the stage.

As long as we can get through the knockout stage, we can survive another three rounds!

He and Xu Feng are relatively familiar with each other, and he is one of the colleagues who has witnessed Xu Feng's growth from the beginning to the present stage.

When thinking about the emotional core of the song, he did not start from the accompaniment and lyrics like others did.

Instead, I thought about Xu Feng's road to fame.

Perhaps, this is Xu Feng’s own mental journey?

Xu Feng, who looks awesome and has his own unique way of speaking and doing things, also has moments of confusion?
Maybe, but five minutes won’t give us much to analyze.

Dai Mingli picked up the microphone and began to sing the song with his own understanding.

"..."

"The old rocking chair squeaked and couldn't stop, and the wind blew away all the fallen leaves and flowers in the yard..." "..."

"...When the underworld is stranded, we will turn into dust and meet again in the end."

"thank you all!"

Objectively speaking, the two were selected together because their singing skills are indeed quite similar.

But the emotions of the songs they sang were completely different!
Sometimes, it even feels like they are singing two completely different songs.

"Thank you, teachers!" The host came up from the backstage and said with emotion, "This is really... something that has never happened before!"

The same song was sung in two different styles!
And it sounds like it’s all pretty good?

When the original singer has not appeared and the standard answer has not come out, how a song should be sung is a topic that can be debated for several years!
This is a very subjective judgment.

But there was one person at the scene who knew the correct solution to this song.

Because he is the one who set the question.

The host looked at Xu Feng and said with a smile: "Teacher Xu Feng, as the creator of this song, what do you think of the performance of the two people on stage?"

"But Mr. Xu Feng, you are one of the contestants. Your opinion cannot be used as a factor in the final decision of the winner!"

In fact, at this time, the voting of most judges has already ended.

No matter what Xu Feng said, he couldn't affect the final result.

As both contestants, the host actually asked one contestant about the win or loss of another contestant, and no one found it strange. This in itself is enough to show that in the minds of most people, Xu Feng and the guests on the stage are no longer singers of the same level.

Many people even fantasize that if they were in Xu Feng's position, with such strength and appearance, and were taken care of by the program crew, they would be so crazy...

However, Xu Feng, who had been listening to the song the whole time, was very confused when his name was called.

He didn't feel at all like it was an honor to be called out.

Are you sick? You called my name again?
How many times has this happened?

I was earning such a meager income and working diligently to check the names on the death list, but I didn't say that I would also work as a part-time judge!

This is exploitation of workers...I want to complain!
"I don't know." Although he protested in his heart, Xu Feng could only stand up and tell the truth, "I think both of you sang pretty well!"

When doing things unrelated to the commission, Xu Feng is just a useless person with funny abilities. It's good enough if you can understand him. Any comments?
What does he have to say about these two?
Besides, the song "Echoes of Dusk" is much more well-known in its cover version than in its original version. Although the audience may not say it, they recognize the cover version more in their hearts.

What Xu Feng plans to release at that time is also Angela Chang's cover version, not the original version.

He couldn't even make clear the difference between the original and cover songs in his previous life, so how could Xu Feng, at his current level, comment on others?

I can only deal with it by saying "I don't know".

Everyone was not surprised by Xu Feng's answer.

This kind of scenario is indeed very pretentious, but no matter how you answer, it is easy to offend people, and if you are not careful, you may easily put yourself in the spotlight.

No one thinks that Xu Feng said "I don't know" because he really didn't know.

Of course, there are also senior patients in Fengren Hospital who believe that Xu Feng deliberately said he didn’t know because the program crew did not add extra money.

"..."

"Teacher Xu Feng's answer is very emotionally intelligent." The host did not ask further questions about this. She looked at the real-time score sheet in her hand and said, "As the original author, no one knows this song better than you."

"Okay, the backstage scoring is now complete, please show us the big screen!"

"Let us congratulate..."

"Teacher Dai Mingli defeated his opponent by a very slight margin and retained his position as the first singer."

"From the perspective of the scores, the two sides were very, very close. The judges also had different interpretations."

"It's wonderful... but this position can only accommodate one person. Thanks again to Mr. Wang Yong for his wonderful performance. Thank you!"

"By the way, I look forward to Mr. Xu Feng's performance in the second round!"

We will know how this song will be sung in the second round of the superstar challenge.

All the audience, including the program crew, believed that Xu Feng would use this song as his trump card when competing against superstars in the second round.

Now their appetite has been whetted, which will have a great impact on the score. If the superstars in this round were not so strong, they might be able to see the superstars being defeated!
At that time, will the program team enter an unconventional hidden round one, two or three in this round?
Will there be other exciting content?
Everyone was holding their breath - they couldn't wait to end the elimination round, finish the qualifying round, and enter the superstar challenge.

Whether it was Dai Mingli or Wang Yong, the emotions they expressed when singing the chorus didn't seem right.

There is a singer who can sing better right in front of me, but I just can’t hear him singing the original version…

Obviously, they might be about to witness the climax of the entire variety show, but they have to slowly advance through the stages. This feeling is really too torturous for the audience.

However, when most people were very excited, Xu Feng was confused.

The host finally said, are you looking forward to your performance in the second round?
Xu Feng, who was already confused, became even more confused after hearing what the host said. He could only nod in confusion: "Oh, okay."

Why does this host speak so erratically?

We were just talking about "Echoes of Twilight", how come we jumped to the second round of Superstar Challenge?

Is there any deep connection between the two?
After thinking about it, Xu Feng came up with a possibility - could it be that the program crew thought that he would sing "Echoes of Dusk" in the second round?

how could it be possible!
The song "Echoes of Dusk" was originally an internet celebrity song in its previous life. The lyrics and composition were only at an excellent level of 7.5 points. It was only later that the overall score was raised thanks to the singer's amazing singing skills.

It is really not very reliable to use it against the foreign creator who is also known as a genius.

Besides, the program team has spent a lot of money to defeat this singer, so Xu Feng must provide corresponding services!
Don’t you know how much money you spent, and yet you still want me to sing this song?
Want to destroy my mission completion... No way!

The host and Xu Feng were discussing the second round as a matter of course, and the audience were also fantasizing about it as a matter of course.

No one realized... the third round of eliminations had just begun, and the PK between Xu Feng and the challenger had not even started!

But no one thought that Xu Feng would be eliminated.

Not far away, Zheng Hua was watching all this with a grim face.

Many singers were too lazy to even give him a sympathetic look.

Zheng Hua's face turned even uglier... Wasn't it just mocking those poor laborers? As for being scolded by the whole network, as for not giving them even a little face in front of so many viewers?
A bunch of nosy people.

If he switched positions with Xu Feng, would these people still dare to complain?

How noble is Xu Feng, who measures everything with money? !

There's still a second round. Maybe Xu Feng will quit just because you can't afford to pay him, and he'll be eliminated directly!
The host also announced the next group of contestants: "The next group of contestants, Xu Feng versus Zheng Hua!"
