Chapter 67: Take a step back, the sky will be wide open (Part 2)(1/2)
Because Cao Xian suddenly went to the United States and temporarily lost contact, the program team had to make emergency adjustments to Ning Qingzhou's program.
In fact, after experiencing the withdrawal of the three band members and the online controversy, the program team already knew Ning Qingzhou's current situation. Therefore, when Cao Xian asked for leave to go to the United States due to an urgent matter at home, his mentor Zuo Zhengping and the program team staff were not too surprised. Instead, he exchanged "as expected" eyes, or smiled tacitly with each other.
It is no longer a secret that Jian'an and Zhonghan are going to punish Ning Qingzhou. Although Shenzhou TV can resist the pressure of these two companies alone, it does not mean that the TV station will come forward to help Ning Qingzhou settle this matter. After all, to deal with such two giant companies, the connection resources to be used are very important, and things are troublesome to operate, and there is really no need to do that.
Moreover, once the program is over, in addition to the champion ensuring that he will get a global contract, other contestants still have to sign in to different record companies or entertainment and cultural companies. In the future, they will still rely on their own abilities. The so-called "management for a while" will not be managed for a lifetime.
The most urgent task is to ensure that there are no mistakes in the live broadcast tomorrow night and to ensure that this season of "Voice of China" can end successfully.
Therefore, before the last rehearsal, Shi Mian, the director of "The Voice of China", personally went to Zuo Zhengping and Ning Qingzhou to have a meeting. In this year's "The Voice of China", Ning Qingzhou's champion calls for the highest number, but also has the greatest variables. The departures of his friends and the large-scale and organized attacks and smears on the Internet will definitely have an impact on him.
As a result, Ning Qingzhou indeed brought up an incredible idea in front of mentor Zuo Zhengping and director Shi Mian, which shocked the two heavyweights who were already in trouble and confused on the spot.
Ning Qingzhou explained in detail from beginning to end, and the hesitant expressions on the faces of Shi Mian and Zuo Zhengping gradually became solemn...
The rehearsal was carried out normally according to the established process before, and with the guest performance and rest time, it took a full four hours, which was very exciting. After the show, Shimian called the host and the director in charge of the scene to have a secret meeting.
At around 11 o'clock on the evening of the 28th, Ning Qingzhou received a message from Cao Xian on KK, with only three short words: "I'm sorry." This means that she could not come back before the final.
As expected, Ning Qingzhou replied: "It's okay."
The next day, August 29, the final day of the third season of "The Voice of China", around 11:00 a.m., Jiang Hanxue, Cao Yuqin, Huang Li, Chen Qianfan and Jiang Jianzhong rushed to Shangjing from Xinhai, and Ning Qingzhou met them in the gymnasium.
Since the discussion about Ning Qingzhou online is fierce, everyone is worried that he is under pressure and deliberately does not mention this matter. Even Huangli has controlled his burning gossip fire with great perseverance.
"Don't do this, why do you feel like you look at me like a piece of porcelain?" Although the recent public opinion storm has caused some trouble to me, there is absolutely no such blow to me.
"So Brother Zhou, you're really fine?" Huang Li asked tentatively.
"It's really okay. Just ask whatever you want." Ning Qingzhou said with a smile.
Huang Li glanced at Cao Yuqin and Jiang Hanxue, and then suddenly looked like a demon with a seal, stared at Ning Qingzhou and asked several gossips in one breath:
"Does Cai Wenji have a boyfriend?"
"Is the financial backer behind Zhen Luoluo really Yuan Benchu of Zhonghan?"
"How many times have Zuo Zhengping got married?"
...
Everyone looked at Huangli speechlessly but understood. After all, after being held in for so long, Ning Qingzhou smiled and said, "It's a pity that Huangli, I don't know the answer to these questions."
"Have you seen them?"
"If you have seen it, you have to know everything about them?"
"Then I don't have an advantage?"
Cao Yuqin asked: "Advantages, what are the advantages?"
"Now Brother Zhou is in the entertainment industry and can definitely get first-hand gossip. Doesn't that mean that I can accept second-hand?"
Everyone: "..."
After chatting for a while, Ning Qingzhou took everyone to have lunch. Jiang Hanxue looked at Ning Qingzhou and always felt that he was strange today, although his performance in all aspects was no different from usual.
After lunch, it was just the time to enter. As a group of relatives and friends, Jiang Hanxue and his friends did not have to queue up and went directly to Ning Qingzhou to enter the venue.
After entering the venue, Ning Qingzhou went to the backstage to do preparations before the live broadcast. Jiang Hanxue and the other five found the corresponding seats based on the tickets and waited for the show to start.
There are two channels for live broadcast of this year's finals, one is the three sets of Shenzhou TV, and the other is the Genglei.com, which bought out the online broadcast rights of "Sound of Shenzhou", namely kk Technology.
In order to miss the finals, the hardcore fans of "Voice of China" sat in front of the TV or computer at around 7 o'clock to wait for the live broadcast to begin. For this reason, they did not hesitate to watch nearly twenty minutes of advertisements.
In a high-end apartment in Shangjing, Hou Lei, wearing a casual pullover and trousers, locked himself in his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, staring silently at the screen of the tablet.
In a villa in Xinhai, Li Haoran was sitting in front of a 60-inch LCD TV and playing with the psp intently, and seemed to have completely ignored the existence of the TV.
Los Angeles, USA, No. 1, Xinhai River View, Longchuan Lushan Park...
Although the influence of the "Voice of China's Finals" is not as good as that of the World Cup, there are tens of millions of viewers in China. Moreover, this season's show has undoubtedly further increased the attention of the finals due to the emergence of Ning Qingzhou, a contestant who is "the number one in history" like Ning Qingzhou.
The show officially begins at 7:30 pm.
Strangely, the expectant and nervous mood suddenly calmed down after the gorgeous opening.
The energetic host walked onto the stage happily, reported sponsorship, introduced guests and other official processes, which was a warm talk show. Of course, it would not be long, and it would also serve the next report.
In the first part, the four major mentors joined forces to perform!
Cai Wenji, Yang Dezu, Kong Wenju and Zuo Zhengping, just seeing these four heavyweight musicians perform on the same stage, today's live broadcast was not in vain. Each of them had a famous song and could lead the whole audience to sing.
In the second session, the top four nationals took the stage, sang a round in sequence, and then sang the theme song "Dream Flying High" of "The Voice of China".
Next is the chorus of the instructors and students, either singing the instructor’s songs or singing the songs that the chorus sang during the competition. For example, Zuo Zhengping and Ning Qingzhou sang "Long Time No See".
Then there is the contestant's personal show - a link that has the decisive significance. The limited theme is "Long live your dreams and never forget your original intention."
As the program goes here, everything goes according to the rhythm of the rehearsal. Everyone has no doubt that this year's "Voice of China" will be born in this tense and lively atmosphere, just like the previous two seasons.
Before the contestants' personal show started, a guest performance was interspersed. Lu Boyan, a powerful singer from Dongwu Culture, brought everyone the title song of his new album "White Shirt".
However, the audience tonight is more looking forward to the performance of the four contestants, especially Zhen Luoluo and Ning Qingzhou.
After following, supporting, discussing for three months, and now I finally have to see the results, how can I not be anxious?
The first set of solo shows, Cai Wenji's group Chen Zhong, the song chosen is Cai Wenji's representative work "Showing the Sail".
In fact, all the playlists for tonight's finals have been exposed in advance, which is no secret.
After the performances of Wang Shui in Yang Dezu's group and Zhen Luoluo in Kong Wenju's group were completed one after another, the most anticipated contestants' personal show of the national audience tonight is finally about to begin.
Ning Qingzhou. "The Sea and the Sky".
The light on the stage gradually darkened, and a beam of chasing light locked on the yellow guitar, carrying the yellow guitar, and was steadily heading towards Ning Qingzhou who was walking on the stage.
Screams began to appear at the scene.
"Come on Ning Qingzhou!"
"Support you forever!"
"Champion! Champion! Champion!"
Even those who have hacked Ning Qingzhou online now are now infected by this atmosphere and shouted completely different words from those typing on the keyboard.
As for the audience in front of the screen, I don’t know who has put down his work, who has stopped playing games, and who has stopped eating snacks...
Ning Qingzhou walked to the center of the stage, bowed to the audience, then walked to the microphone and said, "This solo show tonight should be attended by the Stray Cat Band. Unfortunately, for some reasons, I am the only one standing here, and it can't be called the Stray Cat Band, so it's a bit embarrassing."
Ning Qingzhou has never made such a long monologue on the stage. Today, he has done this paragraph as soon as he came on stage. What exactly should he do?
The field was trapped in a curious ocean, and countless question marks floated over the ocean.
"So, I decided not to sing the song "The Sea and the Sky" today, but to sing another song "The Sea and the Sky".
The discussion started off the court, and three mentors, Cai Wenji, Yang Dezu and Kong Wenju, also looked at Zuo Zhengping, who shook his head slightly.
Ning Qingzhou continued to report: "The Cantonese version of "The Sea and the Sky" is for everyone who is listening to it."
Everyone suddenly realized that instructor Zuo Zhengping was from Xiangcheng, and it was reasonable for student Ning Qingzhou to sing Cantonese songs.
However, when everyone heard the prelude, they began to be confused: "Why isn't that melody? Did they re-edit the song?"
Then I heard Ning Qingzhou sing: "Today I watched the snow drift by in the cold night..."
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood: "It's a new song!"
That’s right, the other song "The Sea and the Sky" that Ning Qingzhou wants to sing is the representative work "The Sea and the Sky" of the palace-level band beyond!
Floating away with a cool heart
Chasing in the wind and rain can't tell the shadows in the fog
You and I will change
How many times have you been facing cold eyes and ridicule
Never give up on the ideal in my heart
A moment of trance and feeling like something is lost
Unconsciously, the love in my heart fades
Forgive me for being unruly and indulging in love and freedom in this life
I'll be afraid of falling one day
Anyone can abandon his ideal
How could you be afraid that one day you will share me
Today I watched the snow fall in the cold night
...
Without any other accompaniment, it was just a person's own play and singing. Even so, when the song was only halfway through, Zuo Zhengping on the instructor's seat stood up seriously.
For a godfather music producer, listening to only half a song can basically determine the value and significance of this song. Whether it is the bitterness presented in the song when facing cold-eyed ridicule, the praise of the love for freedom, and the unyielding pursuit of ideals, it shows the vast connotation and magnificent power of this song.
In addition, as other rock songs began to chasing individuality and becoming increasingly unconventional, such a main melody song that praises freedom and ideals undoubtedly has the significance of sweeping away the decadent trend.
From a professional perspective, this song has already become a classic.
