Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 14 The Chinese Music Scene is Saved (1)

As a national-level music variety show, the fact that "Treasure Voice" has reached its finale is already a huge hot topic, with many viewers and the public paying close attention to it.

The final battle for the championship among the four mentor teams, and who would ultimately claim the title, had already sparked intense discussion long before the show even began.

Unlike the previous programs, which were all pre-recorded and broadcast on online platforms and television stations, this program is different.

The final of "Treasure Voice" was broadcast live.

At this moment, although the live broadcast room on the online platform has not yet started, it is already crowded with people. Even before the broadcast begins, thousands of people are already waiting, and the barrage and comments have already begun to float by.

"It's open! Let's cheer for Zhou Yumeng! She's bound to win!"

"I think it's hard to say right now, the contestants in the other groups are all quite strong."

"The quality is quite high this year, so it's really hard to say what the outcome will be."

"Li Weiwei is number one!!"

"I support Chen Gang."

"Zhou Yumeng, go for it!!!"

"I came here specifically to cleanse my ears. The current state of the Chinese music scene is really... I don't even know how to complain about it."

"Hahaha, you hit the nail on the head. Lately, wherever I go, I hear that guy's 'Stubborn to the end' and 'The silence has dried up,' it's so annoying."

"Indeed, I'm sick of listening to it, especially since the two songs were written by the same person. It's really puzzling. Where did this Xia Shen suddenly come from, this 'divine song maker'?"

"Anyway, I'm already familiar with this name. Another one added to my blacklist. From now on, I'll avoid this name whenever I see it!"

"But actually, there is an original version of 'Dried Silence'. Your first impression is just based on the DJ version. But if you listen to the original version, you will find that it is actually quite good and very pleasant to listen to. And isn't it the listener's freedom to choose what they like to listen to? There is no need to keep criticizing it, right?"

"Tang is finished."

"If you like listening to this kind of music, you've found your perfect match in this lifetime."

"And the most outrageous thing is that this guy seems to be incredibly prolific. Look, he's already had two hit songs in less than a month."

"Wash your ears!"

It turns out that Xiao Zhongge wasn't the only one there to cleanse his ears; moreover, he wasn't the only one who felt that this kind of song was dragging down the Chinese music scene.

He is not alone in sharing this view with many netizens.

Xiao Zhongge wholeheartedly agreed and liked several netizens' comments.

After a long wait, the live stream finally started moving, and the screen began to appear.

He was immediately invigorated and clicked to watch in full screen.

First, of course, is the opening sequence.

The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed at that moment, continuing to rise.

Soon, it surpassed 1!

2+!

5+!

10! 20! 50!

The moment the host appeared after the opening credits, the show officially reached one million views, and the number continues to climb.

"It smells so good! What are we eating for our get-together with friends? Let's eat!"
Welcome to this episode of "Treasure Voices," sponsored by 700° Space to protect your privacy and security. After a series of competitions, today we've moved to the Beijing Super Nest Stadium for our final battle! The ultimate showdown!

The host, holding a microphone and cue cards, dressed in a suit, stood in front of the camera and began to speak at a machine-gun-like pace.

The camera then began to capture the grandeur of the 10-seat National Stadium from aerial and multi-camera perspectives as the host walked up the steps.

The audience seats were also packed.

This demonstrates the authority of this nationally renowned music variety show.

"After fierce competition, the strongest contestants have emerged from the teams of the four mentors. First, let's welcome the four mentor teams: Teacher Liang Ying and contestant Li Weiwei! A rising force specializing in heavy metal singing!"

As a burst of rousing music played live from a symphony orchestra, the mentors led their respective teams onto the stage.

Each mentor's appearance was met with thunderous cheers from the audience.

Each contestant who has competed to this point has their own unique style, and there are no weaklings left here!
The number of viewers in the live stream is also constantly increasing.

Now, it has been viewed by tens of millions of people.

The comments section was already incredibly dense. At this point, it was practically impossible to see the content without turning off the comments, and it would also cause lag.

Xiao Zhongge turned off the bullet comments and began to watch intently.

At the start of the competition, it's impossible to just start competing right away. There will be some fixed procedures, and there will also be interaction with the audience.

This process lasted for more than ten minutes before we finally got to the main topic.

The game officially begins!
The first contestant to take the stage was Li Weiwei.

She brought an English song, a very difficult high-pitched song that is quite popular worldwide.

This immediately increased the difficulty. This contestant has made it this far with a strong vocal style, and in terms of singing ability, he can compete for the top spot among the remaining four contestants.

At the very least, we should aim for second place and strive for first!

However, Xiao Zhongge did not like this contestant. The reason is quite simple.

"Too much focus on singing skills and technical expression," he said, frowning.

Although the songs she sings are also on her playlist.

But look at how the original singer performed it?
It is a perfect work of art, combining incredible skill with emotional expression.

This kind of song doesn't sound flat.

He believes he has a certain level of listening comprehension when it comes to music.

This contestant seems to take 180 turns with a single note, and switches between different resonance chambers several times during a single aria, as if trying to create something extraordinary.

It's awesome, but it doesn't sound good.

And most importantly, singing other people's songs always feels a bit off.

Because there will always be an impression of the original singer, it is very difficult, especially difficult, for a cover artist to break that impression.

In his opinion, the next few contestants all had various flaws, more or less.

His eyes lit up as he worked on the last one.

Because the last contestant to appear was none other than Zhou Yumeng, whom he had his eye on!

"I wonder what song Yu Meng will sing this time. It should be an original song again, right?" he muttered to himself.

Anyway, his expectations were very high.

As the contestant with the highest chance of winning the championship right now, without exception, Zhou Yumeng's popularity is evident.

When she came on stage, the cheers from the audience were several decibels louder than those from the other contestants.

Xiao Zhongge's eyes lit up the moment Zhou Yumeng appeared.

"You've changed your look!"

Yes, the Zhou Yumeng in the picture is not the look that the audience is familiar with.

Instead, she was wearing... wait, is that a school uniform?

Xiao Zhongge squinted, as if he had discovered a key point.

Because Zhou Yumeng was wearing a school uniform that looked like a tracksuit.

She then kept her hair short, reaching her ears, and wore no makeup.

But it still couldn't hide her radiant beauty.

To be honest, even with this kind of look, Zhou Yumeng...

So cute, so adorable.

That clean scent is captivating.

Xiao Zhongge was immediately drawn to the look.

The lights went out when Zhou Yumeng raised the microphone.

Song information has appeared.

What the world has given me

Original singer: Zhou Yumeng
Arrangement: Xia Shen

Lyrics by: Xia Shen

Composer: Xia Shen

The song information flashed by quickly, and Xiao Zhongge didn't notice anything amiss.

After all, most people only pay attention to the original singer and the song title when looking at song information.

He was overjoyed to see that Zhou Yumeng was the original singer.

That's right! That's absolutely right!
That's how it has to be! Singing original songs throughout!
His whole being was already absorbed in the music.

As the camera pans across the screen, the pianist's fingers dance across the strings, the orchestra's strings are joined in, violinists in evening gowns pluck the strings, and a guitarist smiles as he strums the strings.

Some people are setting off fireworks, while others are chasing the evening breeze.

"Borrow a sliver of time to hold a piece of starry sky in my hands~"

"Stop and wait a bit, don't rush!"

"The dreamer created a beautiful dream, which deserves my praise."

"hiss--"

Xiao Zhongge gasped in shock.
