Chapter 398(1/2)
After hearing Chen Zhe's words, Zhang Chonghua couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiao Chen, what you mean is that you are going to fight against Teacher Cheng Tao?"
Chen Zhe shook his head and said, "When it comes to the opposite? Why is it a fight? Didn't Teacher Cheng Tao stipulate that everyone should not sing big songs? Then I won't sing big songs, sing some niches.
Just sing a niche song, will the director's nephew definitely win the ranking? Will he definitely win me? I doubt this..."
Shu Qian also smiled and said, "That's right, who said we don't sing songs that are more competitive and sing some unpopular and niche songs, can this fill-in singer beat us?"
Yu Ying also understood after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I understand what Chen Zhe means. Chen Zhe means that we all try to be niche in choosing songs, but we still have to maintain the level that should be maintained. On the one hand, this will give Cheng Tao and the director face, and on the other hand, it may not necessarily lose.
This is a good idea.”
However, Hu Lei shook his head and said, "Oh, there is no need to be serious with Master, right? Since they have asked for this favor, then don't you just give him the favor? Just sacrificing the ranking of a game, it's nothing."
Shu Qian smiled and said, "Teacher Hu, if you are willing to sacrifice, you should sacrifice. I am here to compete fairly and justly, not to sell favors."
Hu Lei shrugged and said, "Okay, everyone has their own choices. I stick to my own ideas, and you stick to yours."
Yu Ying looked up at everyone and found that Hu Lei was a faction - he advocated letting go of people and changing favors. This time he must be kept to the end and paved the way for the director's nephew.
Chen Zhe and Shu Qian are the same group - they advocate maintaining fairness in competition. Even if they sing niche and unpopular songs, they must do their best to live up to the stage and the audience.
She herself is a fencer and sits on the wall and sways.
Finally, he looked at Zhang Chonghua and Yu Ying asked, "Teacher Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Chonghua said: "The classical songs I sing are originally unpopular songs, and they are niche enough. They are ranked last in the last place every time... So in fact, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I wouldn't have blocked this young man's path..."
"That's how..."
Yu Ying narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, and finally decided to say, "Then I'll sell this face to the Master."
After everyone agreed, Cheng Tao also came back after smoking a cigarette.
After entering the door, Cheng Tao asked with a smile: "How are the discussions between the teachers?"
Hu Lei immediately took the lead and said, "No problem, this is just a small matter for us. After all, as seniors, we have the responsibility to support and support the younger generation."
Yu Ying also said, "Yes, Teacher Cheng Tao has spoken. This junior is the nephew of Master, how can we not give face?"
When Cheng Tao heard this, he smiled.
"I would like to thank all the teachers. Don't worry, Cheng Tao has always remembered this kindness. I will definitely report it to the Director when I go back..."
Then I got back to the point and preached: "Since everyone has decided to pave the way for the younger generation, today's song selection will be more special. Teachers, please re-select songs now, try to choose some unpopular and niche ones, thank you."
Hu Lei nodded immediately and said, "One of my songs is the most unpopular. This song is called "Rongma Guanshan North". It mainly has an element of poetry recitation. Every time people complain that songs do not look like songs, and poetry recitation does not look like poetry recitation... If this song is sung, the ranking should not be too good."
When Cheng Tao heard this, he immediately said happily: "Teacher Hu is willing, thank you for your sacrifice."
Hu Lei smiled softly: "This is nothing. In order to support the younger generation, it is appropriate for us old guys to sacrifice some of them..."
Then Yu Ying said, "Then I will sign up for a song "Sleeping Song". This was originally a song written for young mothers as lullabies in my first album. It is very unsuitable for being a competitive song. However, in order to cooperate with Teacher Cheng Tao and Director, I can only choose this song."
Cheng Tao quickly said gratefully: "I'm sorry for Teacher Yu Ying. Don't worry, I will tell Master the situation truthfully."
The third song selected is Zhang Chonghua. Her song selection has not changed from before, because her musical style is classical and opera-like, and this kind of song itself is very niche.
Her song is "Bird Singing Stream", which also has opera elements.
Then Shu Qian, she thought for a while and said, "My previous song selection was the third title song of the new album "Say Love You", but since Teacher Cheng Tao asked me to choose a niche song with such a strong competitive gender, I would otherwise change it to "Chronic Spirit" in the new album."
However, after hearing this, Cheng Tao shook his head repeatedly.
"Chronic spirit? This song doesn't work either..."
As the director, Cheng Tao has a thorough research on these first-time singers. He knows that although Shu Qian's new album "Look at Me 72 Changes" has unpopular and popular songs, overall, all the songs in this album have not failed.
Not to mention this popular song "Chief Spirit", even if it is the song with the lowest number of views in the entire album, it can still get a pretty good ranking when you get it on the singer's stage.
So he didn't dare let Shu Qian choose this song "Chronic Spirit".
Shu Qian was a little unhappy when she heard Cheng Tao’s intervention, but she had long heard that Cheng Tao, the director of "We Are Singers", liked to interfere with singers' song selection, so she was not surprised.
"Teacher Cheng Tao, "Children" is no longer the title song of my new album. Are you not satisfied with such a song selection?" Shu Qian asked.
Cheng Tao smiled and said with a pity: "Shu Qian, to be honest, the quality of your album "Look at Me 72 Changes" is above the standard. If you choose songs here, will Wang Xiaoqin still have a way out?
Please, this time the task was assigned by Master, so you can cooperate... Choose another unpopular song. Look at Teacher Hu and Teacher Yu Ying's song selection, how sincere it is? In this way, Master will also appreciate your affection."
Shu Qian looked speechless and wanted to stop recording on the spot. However, what Hu Lei said before was correct. She had just been promoted to queen. If she had a breakup with the program team and the entire TV station because of this little thing, it would be a bit too much to lose.
Taking a deep breath, Shu Qian said, "It's better, I'll change the song again, this time I will change it to the most unpopular song in my first album, "Pure Little Girl". Is it okay now?"
Shu Qian's first album was completely made of small costs and crudely made, and the quality was simply unsatisfactory. Among them, "Pure Little Girl" is from lyrics and composition to arrangement, and it can't do anything...
Upon hearing this, Cheng Tao finally smiled on his face: "Thank you Shu Qian, thank you for your cooperation. Don't worry, Master and Wang Xiaoqin will remember this kindness."
Shu Qian snorted without comment, feeling very unhappy.
At this time, Cheng Tao looked at Chen Zhe again and asked, "Chen Zhe, what about you? What song do you want to choose this time?"
Cheng Tao was most worried about Chen Zhe, because Chen Zhe did not play according to the routine every time, and all the songs he sang were his own new works.
What's even more terrifying is that Chen Zhe's songs are of very good quality and have won the first place for two consecutive episodes, so Cheng Tao is worried that Chen Zhe will use his ultimate move again this time and bring a shocking masterpiece.
He couldn't help but beat, "Chen Zhe, you should understand your current position. You are a newcomer. It was our "Singer" stage that gave you a chance. You have to cherish this opportunity, do you know?"
Chen Zhe's expression was calm, and there was no turmoil in his heart. He smiled and said, "Teacher Cheng Tao means, I must not get a good ranking this time, otherwise the stage of "Singer" will not tolerate me, right?"
Cheng Tao was stunned by the quarrel, coughed awkwardly, "No, where? I don't mean this... I just said that you should know the right degree in choosing songs this time, after all, other teachers are very cooperative..."
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Cheng Tao, the songs I sang this time must be niche enough and unpopular enough."
"Oh?" Cheng Tao asked curiously, "What song are you singing this time?"
Chen Zhe said: "It's still my original song, called "Dance of the Goddess."
""Dance of the Goddess"?" Cheng Tao asked vigilantly, "Where is the niche song you mentioned?"
Chen Zhe said: "This song has no lyrics from beginning to end, it is just chanting through human vocals, so as a competitive song, it is not very competitive."
After hearing this, Cheng Tao felt relieved.
"There are no lyrics? They are all chanting in vocals? Very good, this song is selected very well. Chen Zhe, you are indeed a smart person." Cheng Tao said with a smile.
He thought to himself: No matter how high your Chen Zhe is and how strong your singing skills are, what kind of flowers can you sing without lyrics?
In addition, Hu Lei and Yu Ying were both very cooperative before, and Cheng Tao felt that Chen Zhe dared not to give the director face, so he did not think about what kind of song "Dance of the Goddess" was.
After confirming the songs of the five first singers, Cheng Tao's mission was over.
"Very good. This fill-up singer will come to meet you later. I hope you all seniors take more care of them." Cheng Tao said.
"OK."
"Of course."
"Don't worry, Teacher Cheng Tao."
"I know..."
Everyone responded in a verbal manner.
After all, he is the nephew of the Master, and no one dares to give face.
Half an hour after Cheng Tao left, the singer made up for the seat really came to the scene. The director's nephew was pretty good. He was tall and big, nearly 1.9 meters tall and tall, and his figure was quite tall.
As soon as he entered the door, he greeted the starting singers politely:
"Hello teachers, I am today's fill-up singer and a newcomer. My name is Wang Xiaoqin."
Yu Ying, Hu Lei and the others immediately went up to meet him and said with a smile: "Welcome to welcome..."
Chen Zhe and Shu Qian did not stand there either, and went over to say hello to the newcomer.
With the camera facing each other, the atmosphere on the scene seemed very harmonious and friendly. From time to time, everyone asked small questions such as which college Wang Xiaoqin graduated from, what areas he was good at, and what fruit he liked to eat.
In addition to the relationship between Master, Wang Xiaoqin was overly favored by his predecessors.
Soon the official recording of the third episode began, and Chen Zhe took the lead in stepping onto the stage as the host of the talk.
After talking a few scenes, he said today's rules: "Because Xiao Ke, who ranked last in the last game, was eliminated, we had fresh blood to replenish in this game. He is a mysterious filler singer...
According to the rules, the singer will perform at the last performance today. Who is he? Please wait and see. Next, let’s invite our old friend, Mr. Zhang Chonghua, to bring her today’s competitive repertoire: "Bird Song Ridge".
Then Chen Zhe left the stage and Teacher Zhang went on stage. The accompaniment on the stage sounded, which was the sound of traditional instruments, pipa, guzheng and bamboo flute.
Teacher Zhang's song "Birds Singing Stream" is intended to be based on the birds singing in the deep mountains. The style of the song pursues tranquility, ethereality and wonder, but this is a typical song of "high and low songs", which is difficult to resonate among the audience.
However, because Teacher Zhang gave such performances in three consecutive shows, the audience was actually used to it.
No one has too much hope for Teacher Zhang, so there is no disappointment.
After Teacher Zhang's performance, the audience members gave polite applause. Teacher Zhang heard the perfunctory meaning of the applause and his expression was a little disappointed, but he still bowed and thanked him, then turned around and left.
The second one to go on stage was Hu Lei. His competitive repertoire today is a very uncompetitive song - "Rongma Pass North".
When the music was played, some viewers who had heard Hu Lei's old songs frowned slightly.
"Why is this song?"
“Isn’t this a poem recitation?”
"What did Hu Lei think... Why did he sing such a strange song?"
To be continued...
