I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 308: Lan Shu’s new song was indeed written by Xu Kong!

Not only Feiniao was stunned, but also most of the media judges, and many ordinary audiences at the scene and in the live broadcast room.

There was no way, the popularity of Xu Kong’s song “King of Karaoke” in the semi-finals was just too high.

This directly leads to the fact that the recognition is maximized as soon as the prelude sounds.

This is also one of the reasons why Mao Zheyu’s song "Good Intentions" was so popular in the beginning.

When I heard this song for the first time, the prelude made me think of Xu Kong’s Mandarin version of "King of Karaoke".

Covers are allowed in the "Singer" competition. After all, it is impossible for everyone to be Xu Kong, who can easily come up with a new song that has not been released in every episode.

But after all, "King of Karaoke" was a song Xu Kong had just sung during the semi-finals.

Under such circumstances, no one would think that Lan Shu's song in the final would be a cover of Xu Kong's song.

Sure enough, as the song information appeared on the screen above the subtitle stage, some of Fei Niao's subconscious guesses were verified.

"The Promise"

"Singer: Lan Shu"

"Lyrics: Xu Kong"

"Composition: Xu Kong"

……

In fact, except for the first second when he heard it, Fat Bird was a little surprised, and then he quickly figured it out.

There is a high possibility that Lan Shu’s song this time was written by Xu Kong.

Because the prelude is the same as the Cantonese version of "King of Karaoke", combined with the previous song "Good Intentions", it is easy to guess.

It would be one of the dozens of new songs that Xu Kong mentioned at the beginning, which have not yet been released and include the lyrics of his "King of Karaoke".

The main reason is that Lan Shu and Xu Kong seemed to have no relevant intersection before.

Even on the show, they seemed like ordinary colleagues who had just met.

No one had guessed that Lan Shu's song for the final would be written by Xu Kong.

While everyone was discussing their doubts and the barrage was still discussing these things, Lan Shu on the stage had already spoken.

“I still remember the hotel number that day”

"Still leaving with a smile on your face"

“The whole city was so lively that day”

"Walk along the half-mile long street together"

……

"really!"

At this moment, the fat bird had an urge to scream.

If it were me in normal times, I would definitely do this.

But now, as a media judge participating in the program, he still managed to suppress his impulse well.

But I was still very excited inside.

Because just as he guessed, the new song Xu Kong wrote for Lan Shu this time was a Cantonese song.

Others may forget, but this is the self-media that understands Xu Kong best on the entire Internet.

Of course he knew that Xu Kong's "King of Karaoke" had two versions with completely different lyrics.

Although the melody is the same, the arrangement and lyrics of the song are completely different in the Mandarin and Cantonese versions.

Although they are not two completely different songs, there are indeed significant differences between them.

The prelude of the last song, "Good Intentions", is the same as the Mandarin version.

This time, "The Promise" is the same as the Cantonese version.

Then naturally, this song will most likely be a Cantonese song!

What he was most curious about now was the exact number of those unreleased songs that Xu Kong had mentioned at the time.

More than twenty poems and fifty or sixty poems can both be called dozens of poems, but the difference in number is twice or even more.

And since the lyrics of the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version are completely different, does that mean that both versions of the lyrics contain Xu Kong’s new song that has not been officially released?

……

“It’s actually Cantonese!”

The music director next to Fat Bird was obviously quite surprised.

Although he knows a lot of inside information that Fei Niao doesn't know.

But the details of some of the singers in the script are indeed not as clear as those remembered by Fei Niao.

Lan Shu herself is from Guangdong Province, so it can be said that she had almost no pressure in singing the song "Promise" in terms of language.

The most important thing is that the style that Lan Shu has always brought to the audience is not quite consistent with the song "Promise".

But with the other party's singing skills and my own language advantage, the effect was unexpectedly good.

……

“Forgetting the world is like forgetting yourself.”

"I still remember the promise to watch the yellow leaves flying in the sky"

At the same time, the whole song just reached the chorus part.

Lan Shu has indeed never become popular on stage over the years.

But her singing skills and vocal talent are impeccable.

Even Fat Bird, who was originally thinking about many things, focused his attention completely on Lan Shu on the stage as the chorus sounded.

……

"I'm afraid the world won't recognize me tomorrow"

"I still remember the promise I made to you if I didn't die"

I don’t know why, although it’s still Lan Shu, Feiniao feels like a completely different person.

Although Lan Shu’s singing skills and performance always made Feiniao very impressed with her professionalism and business capabilities, he just couldn’t really fall in love with her from the bottom of his heart.

The reason for voting is also out of consideration for fairness as a media judge.

But apart from that, Feiniao really doesn’t like Lan Shu’s previous works.

Except for this song "Promise".

This is what surprised him the most, perhaps the quality of the song has some reason.

But even though the style of the song has changed so much, Lan Shu not only does not feel out of place at all, but instead suddenly exudes a kind of stage charm that she has never had before.

It's really a bit too magical.

……

"That sounds good, Xu Kong really has a lot of hidden treasures!"

"Xu Kong wrote a song for his opponent. Isn't this like handing the opponent a weapon to attack him?"

"Is it because you know it's Xu Kong's song? I feel like I didn't like Lan Shu's performances before, but this time it was completely the opposite."

"I think so too. It seems that none of Lan Shu's previous songs are as suitable for her as Xu Kong's!"

Not only Feiniao had such thoughts in his mind, but most of the audience at this time also said similar words.

In fact, Lan Shu is still the same Lan Shu.

Be it her own voice or the stage costumes prepared for this final, there is not much difference from before.

The only difference is this song "Promise", which is indeed different from her previous songs.

Especially in terms of Cantonese, although Lan Shu herself is from Guangdong, she has actually never released any Cantonese songs before, and there are almost no covers of them.

In addition, Xu Kong did tell her specifically that this time he would have to slightly change his singing style.

In particular, make use of your own advantages in high-pitched breath and use more techniques in changing between true and false voices. In the chorus, restrain your previous performance habits and don't just think about showing off your high-pitched skills.

This way of singing with a suppressed tone was indeed a little difficult for Lan Shu to adapt to at first.

But as time went by, especially for this final, Lan Shu himself practiced privately for such a long time.

It really played a significant role.

...Of course, after all, it's been a habit for so many years, even if it's changed, it's still a little bit difficult to get used to.

It is impossible for Lan Shu on the stage to see the barrage in the live broadcast room in real time.

Or knowing the audience’s comments.

Moreover, for slow songs like "Promise", the feedback from the live audience was actually less compared to her previous performances that showcased her skills.

Most of the audience were listening to the music quietly.

So I felt a little unsure at this time.

However, excellent professional qualities did play a big role.

Lan Shu still sang the whole song perfectly.

In addition, with her own musical accomplishment, she is also aware of the quality of the new song Xu Kong wrote for her.

"Even if your big chest can't stand up to the weather"

“I can recognize you even when you are gray-haired”

……

Until the last two lines of the lyrics are completely sung.

After a short silence, Lan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when warm applause, screams and cheers from the audience rang out.

"Fuck, if the votes in the semi-finals weren't a little low, I really think Lan Shu's performance in this game might be able to compete with Xu Kong."

"But if Lan Shu wins, Xu Kong might regret it, after all, he wrote the song for her."

"Regret is a bit exaggerated. He doesn't need a Singer champion now, and it seems that he doesn't care too much. Even if he doesn't win the championship, it won't be a big deal."

Lan Shu's performance is over.

Except for a small number of nitpicking and finding fault with the audience, almost all the comments in the live broadcast room were positive.

In addition, most media reviewers, including Feiniao, have also had a significant change in their opinion of Lan Shu.

The first time I heard Lan Shu perform live, I was truly shocked by her singing skills and performance.

But after so many episodes, the other party's stage style and song types have hardly changed much.

It’s hard not to feel a little exhausted by this.

Especially the high notes that Lan Shu is most famous for.

Although it is indeed a very competitive level in the entire Chinese music scene.

But it's the same trick that he uses every time, and it always looks like he's singing with all his might.

It's true that the more you listen to it, the less you like it.

There are definitely many media judges like Feiniao who voted for Lan Shu simply because of her excellent singing skills, but were actually not very interested in her performance.

But this sudden change of style did bring a big surprise.

Such a breakthrough can be said to be the killer weapon in the final.

……

"Lan Shu's was actually written by Xu Kong?"

At this time, backstage, Su Yuwei's agent was quite surprised.

She didn't expect that Su Yuwei hadn't even received the song written by Xu Kong yet, but Lan Shu actually asked Xu Kong to help write the song in the finals.

It is inevitable that there will be some imbalance in your heart.

At the same time, I began to doubt the relationship between the two.

There was no way. Perhaps it was because she thought so in her heart, which led her to have similar thoughts when she looked at other female singers who Xu Kong helped write songs for.

She suddenly felt a little anxious.

I think the progress is still too slow. It seems that I need to pay more attention in the future. If necessary, I have to personally give Su Yuwei a push.

……

Lan Shu's performance ended, and the European and American singer came on stage next.

The European and American singer who was not eliminated and entered the finals.

It seemed as if he had accomplished his mission and received the announcement fee, so he just let himself go and randomly chose one of his old songs in the final.

The state of relaxation was even too relaxed, and several mistakes that should not have happened occurred.

It can be said that I should have given up the possibility of competing for the championship in advance.

Perhaps the novelty of last year's participation by European and American singers is no longer there.

No one continued to dwell on the comparison between domestic and foreign singers.

Therefore, the two European and American singers participating in the competition this time, whether in terms of popularity in China or their ranking on the show, seem to be somewhat inferior to last year.

But in fact, if we just consider the status, the fees charged by the two program teams this year are even much higher.

All I can say is that even Wu Youxue couldn't have predicted this in advance.

If Xu Kong hadn't come to the rescue, it can be said that the popularity and traffic of this year's "Singer" would have been at least 30% to 40% smaller.

……

""starry night""

"Singer: Su Yuwei"

"Lyrics and music: ..."

Later, Su Yuwei gave the audience some surprises.

Because just like in the semi-finals, she still sang a new song this time.

The style of the song itself is similar to that of the semi-finals, and even the overall quality of the song is about the same.

But for some reason, it was obvious that Su Yuwei's condition in the final was not as good as in the semi-finals.

As the youngest singer on the stage besides Xu Kong, although his singing skills are much better than his peers, he still made several small mistakes.

It's not very obvious, but it is undoubtedly a big minus for some media reviewers who pay great attention to details.

……

As for Jian Junfang, who was second to last, he sang the R&B type of song that he is best at.

And it’s a new song I wrote myself.

It has indeed been a long time since he sang a new song he wrote.

I don’t know if it was inspired by Xu Kong or something, but I got the inspiration.

This new song is of surprisingly high quality.

Even Xu Kong was quite surprised. After all, he had worked with Jian Junfang before, and the other party listened to him almost the entire time, which didn't seem like a singer-songwriter.

I didn't expect that he is so good at arranging and writing lyrics, especially the arrangement, which can be said to be top-notch in the industry.

……

Jian Junfang's performance ended successfully.

The performance of the veteran singer is still very steady.

If you count it, except for that European and American singer, most likely all the singers sang new songs in the finals.

After all, everyone assumed that Xu Kong, who would appear last, would sing a new song he wrote.

Strictly speaking, the excitement of this final really exceeded Fei Niao's expectations.

Currently, including Lan Shu mentioned above, Su Yuwei, and the King of Songs Jian, there are already three singers who have a high probability of getting more than 90 votes in Feiniao's prediction.

In the past, it was definitely the most intense competition for the top spot in the same period.

But at the same time, Xu Kong, who is actually the most popular candidate to win and the one everyone is looking forward to the most, has not yet appeared.

Although Xu Kong has the advantage in votes in the semi-finals.

But after all, compared to several other singers who have already performed, there is indeed a lot of uncertainty.

I just don’t know what kind of song Xu Kong has prepared this time.

He was actually able to sing to Lan Shu with confidence the song "Promise", which Fei Niao had a very high opinion of.
