My wife is in my arms

Chapter 659 Season 2 Recording Part 5
Wait for Qin Tai to take the stage.

After listening to his performance, Zhang You leaned forward slightly.

Compared to Zheng Tiannan, Qin Tai's singing style is quite interesting. It is one of the more difficult singing styles, mainly consisting of soft and slow singing, which requires a high level of vocal quality.

According to traditional understanding, this can be classified as bel canto.

He doesn't need many singing techniques; he can sing with his naturally long and clear voice. Wang Lei, who was busy flirting with girls, had to stop because Qin Tai was followed by Zhang Xiyu, the "Iron Lung Princess."

As Zhang Xiyu rushed backstage to prepare for her performance, Wang Lei followed. He was the third to last to go on stage, which was ahead of Zhang You. Logically speaking, he didn't need to rush backstage now, since after Qin Tai's performance, there was the new generation dance king Xue Linchao. However, after a little thought, it became clear why he went now.

Picking up girls!
Of course, wherever the girl goes, he goes too.

Otherwise, how would I get her?!

"Teacher Qin's voice is truly enviable."

Xue Linchao spoke up.

"Um"

Liu Fei, who was also blessed with natural talent, nodded slightly in agreement.

"The beauty of the lakes high in the snowy mountains is well-deserved."

Xue Linchao said with some envy.

Zhang You didn't speak, mainly because he wasn't very familiar with the two yet. Qin Tai's singing was still playing; he was singing a song called "Night," a song perfect for listening to alone late at night.

The performance is over.

A round of applause erupted from the audience.

Zheng Tiannan returned to the lounge, where two staff members entered at the same time. The two staff members then began setting up the cameras.

Zhang You frowned.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Money is getting harder and harder to earn. He originally planned to leave right after his performance, but then the camera was set up... It was obvious that the production team not only wanted to film the contestants' expressions after listening to other singers' performances, but also wanted to prevent other singers from leaving right after their performances from happening again.

There's no need to say it directly.

But once the camera was set up, the meaning was already clear.

When the footage is cut out, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the other singers' fans if a certain singer is not seen in the dressing room while other singers are performing.

In severe cases, it can even lead to fan wars.

The key is that after they finish singing, they also have to put on an expressive performance. After watching them one by one, Zhang You had a general understanding of the vocal characteristics of his opponents. In any case, each of them had their own unique features. He stood up from the sofa, straightened his collar, and then walked out of the lounge.

Backstage, Zhang You could still hear Wang Lei singing. His voice was particularly outstanding in the high register, slightly hoarse and possessing a strong sense of vicissitude.

After a while.

As the unique harmonica prelude of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" begins.

Zhang You, dressed in a gray suit, appeared on the stage. Before he even started singing, the audience below screamed.

He is very popular.

"How can we even compete like this?!"

Back in the lounge, Wang Lei looked at the scene on the television and said helplessly.

Zhang Xiyu, the "Iron-Lung Princess" who had recently been charmed by him, was also watching TV. Her agency had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to get her on the stage of "Special Voice" Season 2. Even so, she lowered her appearance fee before the production team reluctantly agreed.

Besides hoping to boost her popularity through the second season of "Special Voice," which topped the ratings for music variety shows at its finale, her manager also asked her to get closer to Zhang You during the recording of the show.

She naturally understood what her agent meant.

But... she really didn't know how to start the conversation! She had met Zhang You not long ago; she had debuted earlier than him, and just now she had enthusiastically declared herself his idol. Then Zhang You said something like "indeed," and sat down on the sofa, showing no intention of engaging in small talk with her.

"Tonight I watch the snow fall in the cold night, my heart, now cold, drifts far away. In the wind and rain, I chase the fog, unable to distinguish my shadow. The sky is vast, the sea is wide, but will you and I change..."

Zhang You held the microphone and sang.

"These two songs, 'Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies' and 'Glorious Years,' are definitely timeless classics. Twenty or thirty years from now, my songs may be forgotten by fans, but these two songs will definitely still be listened to and sung by people."

Zheng Tiannan spoke up.

"Several of his other songs also have the potential to become classics."

Liu Fei replied.

"Is it 'The Question'? My wife likes listening to it."

Zheng Tiannan replied with a smile.

When the chorus came, many Cantonese-speaking fans in the audience actually started singing along. Zheng Tiannan rubbed his head. If that were the case, there would be no point in having a competition at all.

Judging from the situation on site, if these audience members were to give scores, who would dare to compare with Zhang You, who sang "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies"?

Fortunately, today's pre-recording session is over. From now on, it's not just about the singers' popularity, but also the quality of their songs. And unless they happen to bump into each other by chance, they basically won't have another chance to sing their own songs.

Thinking of the popularity, Zheng Tiannan subconsciously looked at Liu Fei, who was getting up to go backstage.

During the chorus, Zhang You finished singing "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," the stage lights dimmed, and a figure rose up with the lift platform in the middle of the stage.

The beautiful melody resonated throughout the venue through the sound system.

Then came a light, clear voice. The fans in the audience were stunned at first, and some realized what was going on as the stage lights slowly came on.

There was a moment of complete silence from the audience.

Then a cheer erupted that was far more intense than Zhang You's. Liu Fei was not affected in the slightest. She sang calmly and steadily, with a style that was ethereal.

Back in the lounge, Zhang You's expression instantly turned serious.

This woman was indeed as Jiang Yiren had described: "She either doesn't come out at all, or when she does, she's still a true diva." When she said this, Jiang Yiren, as the current queen of the music scene, showed no sign of resentment. On the contrary, she looked like she had lingering fear, probably because of the trauma she had suffered from being dominated by Liu Fei.

The song ends.

"Next, please welcome the contestants from the second season of 'Special Voice' to the stage."

Liu Ling said with a smile.

One by one, they walked out from backstage. Then Liu Ling pointed to the large screen at the back of the stage and said, "I'm sure everyone knows what upgrades 'Special Voice' Season 2 has made. Without further ado, let's start randomly selecting cover songs."

In addition to songs from the singers in the second season, songs from several contestants in the first season are also included.

This was agreed upon between the production team and the singers from the first season; all they had to do was pay a small copyright fee for the cover songs. Zheng Tiannan pressed a button on the machine, and the screen suddenly started flashing, finally stopping on one of Hai Qing's songs.

......

When Zhang Xiyu, the "Iron Lung Princess," drew Zhang You's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky," she was surprised to find that he had drawn the song. When it was Zhang You's turn, he casually pressed a button on the machine, which only had a start button and a pause button, and it wasn't complicated.

Zhang You has a very calm mindset.

It would be even better if you drew a song by Jiang Yiren, as many of her songs are written by her and are not difficult to sing.

Just as the screen was scrolling through song titles, Zhang You pressed pause. The scrolling on the screen didn't stop immediately; it flickered twice more as if due to inertia.

Zhang Youchao glanced at the screen.

I was completely dumbfounded.

"She", originally sung by Jiang Yiren.
