Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 255 Off-tune
"Almighty Lord, hear my prayers and give her back to me, a weak lost lamb, until I hear the sad words..."

Faced with the embarrassing situation of the two people in front of them failing halfway through, the rap trio could only try their best to complete their part, but all their eyes were on Xia Fan...

Because, next is the key part that starts the first climax of the song.

Not only will the pitch rise again, but the mood of the song will also begin to change...

The pressure of the "slippage" of the teammates in front fell on Xia Fan, who was responsible for the solo part.

Under everyone's complicated gazes, Xia Fan licked his lips and spoke carefully...

……

"Humph, a mob is just a mob..."

What Xia Fan and the others who were rehearsing seriously didn't know was that in the corridor of the practice room separated by a wall, An Ziyao, who had come out to take a break during the rehearsal, was leaning against the door frame.

Although the walls of the practice room are made of soundproof materials, the door is an ordinary wooden door, so even if the door is closed, you can clearly hear the singing inside the room from outside...

"Except for the rap part which was supported by Martin and was a little more professional, the singing part was totally amateurish."

"It's really uninspiring to meet such an opponent."

He listened to the rehearsal in the room from beginning to end, his eyes behind his curly bangs full of contempt.

Songs like "Prayer" require the collaboration of four tenors, but they basically never appear on talent show variety shows because the quality of the trainees varies greatly and it can easily ruin the reputation of the show.

For this performance, the program team specially arranged an "open-book test" for him as he is good at singing high notes, and the repertoire was confirmed long time ago.

Therefore, since the initial stage as a trainee, Kishi has been looking for local trainees who are good at high notes, and has been deliberately building good relationships with them in private.

All these preparations were made in order to amaze the audience with his high notes on the first performance stage, and to label himself as a "high-pitched handsome man"...

In previous talent shows, the person who impressed the audience the most was often not the first place winner, but the contestant with strong specialties in certain areas...

A good "personality label" can often have an effect for more than ten years, which is crucial to the development path after debut.

What made An Ziyao feel even luckier was that Xia Fan, who had been the hottest topic in the early stages of the show and ranked first in popularity, actually automatically got the turn to sing the same song as him!

In the past two days, he had confirmed repeatedly that whether it was the first stage performance or the campus singing competition video on the Internet, Xia Fan's singing voice might have magical emotional appeal, but his pitch was very ordinary, and his range was at most G6...

There is no way I can compete with him on a song like "Prayer" that requires high-pitched talent.

After all, if you can't even hit the basic pitch, how can you express your emotions?

“Hey… hey hey hey…”

Thinking of his stunning debut and monopolizing the hot searches after his first stage performance, Kishiyo couldn't help but cover his face and laugh.

What could be a more perfect script than to accomplish all this by stepping on the head of the most popular Tianlongren trainee?
"I will be your man, I will never let you go, I will never leave you again..."

"Please call my name. I can't live without you. Let me hold you in my arms once again. I won't leave you alone again..."

"Honey, I'm just praying."

But the next second, Xia Fan's singing voice rang out from behind the door, interrupting An Ziyao's laughter and making his face stiffen...

The strong love, reluctance, longing and regret in that song were like bullets that silently pierced through his heart.

He couldn't help but recall the summer of his senior year in high school when a senior schoolmate left him and went to live across the ocean...

"This part... this voice... is Xia Fan..."

"Impossible...Impossible...I must have heard it wrong..."

"That guy...actually...sang on stage?!"

Breaking free from the forbidden emotions, An Ziyao's beautiful face was twisted into a ball with a haze of disbelief.

The part that Xia Fan just sang was exactly the part he was responsible for in the song.

Even though it's just a small climax and not the line with the highest pitch in the entire song, the original version also reached the pitch of C2. Even trainees who focus on VOCAL have low, middle and high notes, and not everyone can sing it.

Even Kishi Kiyoshi, who has always been proud of his high notes, practiced repeatedly many times before he could sing this passage "flawlessly".

But just now, when his teammates were dragging down the entire song, Xia Fan's singing was not only high-pitched but his breath was also as steady as an old dog. Although the emotions were not perfect, it was enough to be called "turning the tide."

"Huh? Why don't you sing anymore?" Just when An Ziyao's thoughts were confused, the singing in the practice room also stopped.

"Sing, sing it..."

"So, Xia Jun is also good at high notes?"

He quietly peeked in and found that several trainees in the room also had surprised looks on their faces, obviously shocked by Xia Fan's amazing high notes.

"By the way, who should say the next sentence? Why didn't you catch up?"

"It's me, sorry, sorry, I forgot the words."

After a moment of silence, Ken raised his hand apologetically like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

He was originally responsible for singing the next chorus from the beginning, but he didn't expect Xia Jun to sing the original key, and was so surprised that he forgot to follow.

"No, I didn't sing the part I just sang well, so I was going to start over."

But Xia Fan blamed himself with an unhappy look on his face.

"Didn't...didn't sing well?"

“Is this not singing well?”

When these words were spoken, not only did the six people in the room look confused, but even An Ziyao outside the door clenched his teeth.

"Yes, I was out of tune just now. Look, it's all recorded on the software..."

Xia Fan showed his cell phone to everyone.

"It was my first time singing, so I wasn't very skilled and I didn't pay attention and started too high."

Even though there was no limit to his high notes, his pitch was still at the average level as always. It was easy for him to go out of tune when singing unfamiliar songs, so he kept cultivating the habit of testing his pitch scale.

According to the scale test app, the highest level of the song just now reached was E3...

In other words, Xia Fan was out of tune and went two steps higher than the restored version.

If you start too high at the beginning, the teammates behind you will collapse like a snowball.

"It doesn't matter. We didn't get together twice anyway. It's best to expose all the problems..."

"That's it, start over again!"

No longer worrying about the details, everyone started rehearsing from the beginning.

"Humph, this is always a collaborative stage..."

"Even if you can sing it, can these ugly teammates of yours sing it?"

Listening to the "Chorus of the Underworld" sounding again in the house, An Ziyao's face gradually returned to normal.

The competition on the performance stage is about the overall effect.

Judging from the current quality of the personnel on both teams, even if Xia Fan can perform at the same level as him, there will still be a huge gap between teammates.

As long as his group wins, Kishiwara Kishi, as the captain, center and lead singer, will definitely win the highest score from the live audience and get the lion's share of the 5 million popularity votes.

As for Xia Fan, who is in the loser group, no matter how well he performs, he is destined to be a loser with nothing.

"Call everyone over and continue training."

After sorting out his thoughts, Kishiyo confidently walked back to his practice room and signaled his teammates to restart rehearsal.

"Ah? Isn't there still five minutes of break time?"

"After the first performance, those who were eliminated will have plenty of time to rest."

"Okay, okay..."
