Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 46: The Quarterfinals
"For the first song, we can hold back a bit and sing 'Warm'."

"We're not going to show off our skills in this song; we're just going to make it sound good and let it touch the hearts of our listeners."

Liang Jingru's "Warm" is just like its name, and it also gives a warm feeling when you listen to it.

This song is probably a cherished memory for many people, and some born in the mid-95s have listened to it almost since childhood.

"Qing, thank you for writing such a heartwarming love song for me. I understand your feelings for me... Just like the lyrics say, 'Loving someone means wanting them to have a better life.' I will definitely work hard to make you proud!"

"Liangying, yes, yes, that's exactly what I think... So, you have to do your best tonight, and sing with a smile, okay?"

"Hehe, I get it, I get it. Of course, happy songs should be sung happily."

"Okay, you sing a verse first..."

After listening, Shen Qing nodded and said, "The emotion is spot on. You should sing like that on stage later!"

For the second song, Shen Qing chose a piece that was quite difficult.

After all, this is the national finals.

Each player has their own strengths and merits.

Moreover, Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang both have a large fan base, so they must show their true skills.

Let everyone see—

Zhang Liangying is more than just a good singer!

It's not just that she's pretty and has great makeup!

More importantly, their dolphin-like vocalizations are absolutely amazing!
Every time Zhang Liangying reached the mountain peak at the hotel, she would easily produce a high C, her terrifying ability making the girl next to her afraid to make a sound.

This is a genius!
Other singers struggle to reach the C6 high note, but Zhang Liangying can do it effortlessly and sustain it for over ten seconds, still managing to transition to B4...

Lin Junjie, who has spent his whole life trying to prove he can sing high notes, would probably cry if he heard this.

……

tonight.

If she becomes an overnight sensation, and then with her upcoming appearance on "Happy Camp," her popularity will definitely skyrocket again.

Only in this way can we prevent a situation where Li Yuchun's SMS votes lead by a precipitous margin.

Many people may have forgotten what happened during this year's final...

At that time, Li Yuchun had 353 million votes, far ahead of Zhou Bichang's 327 million votes and Zhang Liangying's 135 million votes.

The gap is too big.

Brother Chun's fans are terrifying.

……

After practicing for about 15 minutes, Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying arrived at the studio, where many contestants were still singing in the corner.

Shen Qing chatted with the band members for a while and finally determined the key of the accompaniment.

then.

I took my seat in the audience and waited quietly for the live broadcast to begin.

Not long after I sat down, a voice rang out behind me, "Hey, Shen Qing."

Shen Qing turned around and saw Chen Liang, and he wasn't alone; there were more than a dozen people from the Zhejiang University Tianci Music Society.

These musicians are definitely rich!
Going around and having fun.

Chen Liang laughed and said, "Unexpected, right? I've prepared a surprise for you. By the way, we've also managed to get tickets for Happy Camp tomorrow afternoon."

Shen Qing: "Thank you so much. I'll treat you to drinks after tonight."

With the addition of Tianci Music Club, and including Zhang Liangying's original fan club, their numbers are roughly the same as Li Yuchun's fan club.

The two evenly matched forces put the other contestants to shame.

After all, they also want that kind of buzz.
Because popularity is the biggest asset for a future debut.

Some might ask, isn't a singer's greatest asset their singing ability?
No.

If your singing skills aren't good, you can get your voice fixed.

I absolutely won't go to a live performance if they don't allow lip-syncing.

There was absolutely no chance of being exposed...

……

Around 8:20 PM.

Staff, band, and fans are all ready.

The ten Super Girls, dressed in brightly colored shirts and shorts, looked like they were on vacation in Phuket, and waited backstage.

Zhang Liangying and Li Yuchun stood in the center position.

Zhou Bichang, He Jie, and others could only be ranked later.

now.

Li Xiang and Wang Han, along with a dozen or so dancers, stood at the entrance of the passageway.

They're going to sing a song later. It's the first time a host has sung on the Super Girl stage.

These are the top eight!
It's different inside and out.

The atmosphere is getting lively.

The video begins with a two-minute short clip showing ten Super Girls playing at a water park.

In this hot summer, such an opening video is indeed refreshing.

As the video ended, Wang Han, dressed in a flamboyant white suit and brown striped trousers, took the lead in singing "I Love Summer".

However, it's obvious that they were lip-syncing.

Then Li Xiang came up, and the live stream gave her a close-up shot, which caught the eye of many viewers who had watched the first two episodes.

"Prime Minister Li is acting a little differently today."

"It looks much better."

"Did they change the makeup artist?"

"..."

They sang for a while and then quit.

Ten contestants ran out of the backstage passage one after another.

Li Yuchun and Zhang Liangying appeared at the same time, which excited their fans, since the other eight people were still in the passage.

The contestants went up in pairs to sing a line, and the opening song ended smoothly.

Wang Han and Li Xiang then appeared on stage.

"Thank you!"

"thank you all!"

"Hello everyone, I am your host, Li Xiang."

"I am the host, Wang Han."

"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the 2005 Mengniu Yogurt Super Girl Top 10 to Top 8 competition."

"First of all, let's give a warm round of applause to our fans and friends here. Welcome everyone."

Chen Liang and others waved support signs and banners, shouting enthusiastically, no less so than Chun Ge's fervent fans.

Wang Han: "Today, two of our ten contestants will be leaving, so at the beginning, we need to give them a chance to showcase their talents..."

Li Xiang: "Yes, let them campaign for votes. How about we give them some applause to encourage them? Now, starting with number 01, Ye Yiqian, let's each sing a line to campaign for votes, okay?"

Summer, summer, quietly passed by.

"Leave a little secret"

"Keep it to the bottom of your heart, keep it to the bottom of your heart"

I can't tell you.

"..."

Ye Yiqian sang "Pink Memories".

Next up is contestant number 02, He Jie, who performed "I Am a Girl".

……

When it was Zhang Liangying's turn, the cheers from the audience were noticeably louder.

Liangying performed Westlife's "My Love," her ethereal vocals paired with the beautiful melody, making it impossible not to applaud.

Li Xiang remembered Shen Qing's kindness, so she naturally paid more attention to Zhang Liangying as well. She hadn't commented on the other contestants' performances, but now she exclaimed, "Wow, Liangying's voice is so beautiful!"

Wang Han was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood and chimed in, "Yes, Liangying is very good at this kind of love song. Her voice is very distinctive. Next up, Zhou Bi..."

When it was Li Yuchun's turn (number 08), the cheers from the audience changed again, becoming even louder than those from Zhang Liangying's fans.

These female fans are truly fanatical.

Shen Qing turned her head to look over...

Her fans are mostly the same type as her.

They were all of average appearance.

They belong to a group of people who would be easily lost in a crowd.

On the other hand, Zhang Liangying's fans, mainly male, made up almost two-thirds of the group sitting in front holding fan signs, while the female fans all had long hair and were quite good-looking.

Shen Qing also saw many beautiful women.

This is the answer to Zhang Liangying's decision to embrace a sexy and intellectual image 20 years ahead of schedule—not only attracting men, but also drawing in high-quality, tasteful women.

……

After the opening vote-soliciting segment ended, the official competition began. The on-site director announced, "Please welcome contestant number 01, Ye Yiqian, to perform 'The Main Song of Love'."
