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

Chapter 49: The Zhengzhou Singing District is Wiped Out

"When did Xia Qing's commentary become so professional?"

"At first I thought Xia Qing would only say things that didn't really matter, but I have to praise her today."

"Haha, that's so true. Her evaluation of Jane Zhang is spot on. 'Warm' is the best song I've heard all year, without a doubt."

"One sentence changed my impression of Xia Qing as unprofessional."

"..."

Zhang Liangying's fans once again found satisfaction in the judges' comments; Xia Qing's approval was exactly what they wanted.

Xia Qing continued speaking.

"I've always felt that the first thing to consider when judging whether a song is good or not is whether it sounds good, and only then do you consider the lyrics, the emotions, and the technique."

"The song 'Warm Warm' undoubtedly excels in all of the above aspects."

"In addition, Liangying, you sang very well. Whether it was your breath control, pronunciation, or vocal transitions, you hit every point perfectly and fully expressed the meaning of the song."

"Keep trying..."

Zhang Liangying nodded like a chick pecking at rice; Xia Qing's comments did indeed make her feel very comfortable.

then.

Hei Nan's Commentary.

He first praised it a few times, and then began to analyze "Warm and Cozy" from a professional perspective, talking for two minutes straight.

"Wow, is this the first time Hei Nan has talked for so long?"

"I watched every single episode of the Super Girl competition, and this is the first time I've seen Hei Nan give such high praise. Zhang Liangying is the first person to do so!!"

"Honestly, with the release of 'Warm,' among the new generation of singers, only Fish Leong's 'Courage' and Stefanie Sun's 'Darkness' can rival it."

"I'm making a statement today: in the future of Chinese pop music, Jane Zhang will definitely carry the flag for the mainland."

"Was this song written by Shen Qing? It wasn't mentioned earlier. If Shen Qing wrote the lyrics and composed the music, that would be amazing. It would completely solidify Shen Qing's title as a musical prodigy."

"Yes, four amazing pieces in a row, that's really difficult."

……

At last.

Even the notoriously critical Ke Yimin couldn't find any fault with it.

She gave very insightful evaluations from four aspects: singing, emotion, lyrics, and composition.

However, she commented more on the lyrics and composition.

The producer of the song "Warm" received a very high score.

in fact.

She knew it was Shen Qing who wrote the song, but she was just praising Shen Qing on purpose.
She also commented on Jane Zhang's performance, but only briefly.

Finally, she didn't forget to recommend her upcoming 'singing training class'.

She told Jane Zhang, "You're great, but you'll be even better if you come to my training class. I'm not kidding, I can make up for your deficiencies in the high notes."

High notes?

I'll show you what dolphin sounds are like later!
……

Wang Han: "Wow, after hosting Super Girl for so long, this is the first time I've seen the judges comment on a contestant like this."

Lee Sang: "The original songs today are really great."

Wang Han: "Yes!"

Li Xiang: "Next, let's invite our three judges to continue commenting on the other four contestants. Let's start with Ms. Xia Qing!"

The four of them finished in a very short time, about the same as Zhang Liangying's time alone.

With Zhang Liangying as a comparison, the other four were somewhat lacking, but the judges didn't say anything.

They already had a plan in mind since they were going to choose the worst player anyway.

The answer will be revealed soon; now it's time for a commercial break.

At the same time, the staff brought a prop onto the stage.

This prop contains ten letters, each written by one of the ten contestants the day before yesterday as their farewell messages. They will be opened when they leave the stage.

Li Xiang looked at the props, gave a brief introduction, and then turned around and said, "I think whether they stay or leave, they are all girls who sing with their hearts."

Wang Han nodded: "Yes, now let's see who has received the fewest SMS votes so far."

Li Xiang: "Please invite the notary from our CS City Notary Office to send us the SMS vote count."

Wang Han announced the voting results.

Surprisingly, Ji Minjia received the fewest votes via SMS.

Ji Minjia has always had relatively low popularity, mainly because she lacks good looks.

She's not pretty, and she doesn't look cool. If it weren't for her good singing skills, she would have been eliminated much earlier.

She went up to the PK seat.

Meanwhile, the three judges selected the worst contestant.

As expected, this person was Zhu Yan.

She's going to compete against Ji Minjia.

After they finished their a cappella performance to garner votes, the 35 audience judges cast their votes in turn.

finally.

Ji Minjia won by a landslide with 27 votes to Zhu Yan by 8 votes.

Zhu Yan was eliminated.

In the third round of the finals, all three finalists from the Zhengzhou region were eliminated, resulting in a complete wipeout.

Whether in the studio or in front of their televisions, there was a collective sigh of despair. Zhengzhou, in the heart of Central China, how could the entire first wave be wiped out?!
"Damn, don't we have any singers in Henan?"

"It's all the fault of the stupid critics. They picked three people who can't sing. What a mess!"

"Now I can only support Li Yuchun."

"I support Jane Zhang!"

……

The fact that the Zhengzhou singing region was the first to be completely wiped out is actually quite predictable.

Song Lin, the first to leave, is only 16 years old and not yet an adult.

She had to be the first to leave.

Because the State Administration of Radio and Television has been receiving complaints for the past two years, and its attention to the Super Girl competition has increased significantly recently, the production team may have set a trap to eliminate Song Lin as the first contestant for safety reasons.

As for Zhu Yan and Guo Huimin, compared to the remaining 9 contestants, they are both considered to lack distinctive features.

Having no distinctive features means being mediocre.

They didn't meet the program team's requirements, so leaving was inevitable.

But their departure only caused a brief emotional fluctuation among the other contestants; a few minutes later, everyone would forget about them.

Next.

One more person is leaving.

The second round of the competition is much more brutal than the first round. The remaining nine people will be divided into groups of three to compete against each other, and the gap between them will be more obvious.

Zhang Liangying is number 06 and was assigned to the second group.

Her opponents were Ji Minjia (born in 04) and Zhou Bichang (born in 07).

Shen Qing didn't know if Zhou Bichang was nervous, but Ji Minjia was definitely nervous; the fear of being dominated by Zhang Liangying in the Hangzhou competition had returned.

……

Executive Director: "Please welcome contestant number 01, Ye Yiqian!"

As she walked onto the stage, the live stream switched to the commentary videos of judges Hei Nan and Ke Yimin.

This is a new segment added to the 10-to-8 stage.

on the screen.

Ke Yimin and Hei Nan each expressed their opinions.

Hei Nan said, "I think she has gradually developed her own style of singing. Her songs are handled very delicately, and she is also beautiful and elegant. She is very comfortable and is a kind of tranquility in the midst of noise."

Ke Yimin: "Yes, keep it up, Ye Yiqian."

From the very beginning of the competition, Hei Nan paid close attention to Ye Yiqian.

Does he like Ye Yiqian's type?
In this round, Ye Yiqian performed Xu Ruyun's "Suddenly Want to Love You".

Shen Qing felt that she had taken Hei Nan's advice: to create a peaceful place amidst the noise.

Because this song is gentle and soothing, it matches her persona better; it would be somewhat incongruous for her to sing dance music.

However, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

A soft and soothing song will definitely expose the shortcomings of her singing skills.

This song uses a lot of chest voice, so the breathing sounds are quite heavy and sound deep and full... Singers who are not technically proficient may have unstable breath control.

After she finished singing, Hei Nan gave another comment.

Hei Nan: "I feel that Ye Yiqian has been improving, improving in every performance, and she handled this song very delicately, which is very much in line with her beautiful appearance."

Good grief, so you're not even going to act anymore?
These compliments made Ye Yiqian beam with joy, and she thanked them repeatedly.

Ke Yimin's comment was intriguing: "Hmm~ I think you sang really beautifully."

If Shen Qing remembered correctly, this was the second time Ke Yimin had made such a comment about Ye Yiqian.

To be honest, Ye Yiqian's singing skills really didn't interest Ke Yimin.

Xia Qing: "I think you should sing this kind of song. The song you sang in the first round, 'The Main Theme of Love,' wasn't really suitable for you..."

……

Wang Han: "Next, please welcome He Jie."

In the short video, Hei Nan and Ke Yimin both praised her as having explosive energy, radiating brilliance, and having an excellent stage presence.

In this round, she performed Li Wen's "Beautiful Foolish Woman".

Li Wen's songs need no introduction; they are all quite upbeat and dynamic, making them very suitable for He Jie to sing.

Moreover, she incorporated many physical movements into her performance, which was very impressive and far superior to Ye Yiqian's stage presence.

The third performer, Yi Hui, sang "White Moonlight" by Jeff Chang, a soothing and tranquil song.

Despite her very 'hip-hop' style, she performed this song by the Prince of Love Songs perfectly.

Shen Qing clapped.

It's not that her technique is particularly impressive, but rather that she captured the emotions perfectly and understood what the song was trying to convey.

A singer who can convey the right emotions will never sound too bad, no matter how they sing.

……

but.

No contestants advanced in this round; the three judges selected three people, so they are all put on hold.

The second group went up.

This group includes Ji Minjia (No. 04), Zhang Liangying (No. 06), and Zhou Bichang (No. 07).

The competition is the most intense.
