Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 34: Yes, that's the feeling.

Zhang Liangying walked to the center of the stage, her gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, her expression carrying a hint of aloofness, and gently pushed her glasses up.

The whole process was filled with a languid and charming atmosphere.

And at this time...

The fans in the audience and those watching on TV went absolutely crazy.

day!
Zhang Liangying, you're so good at this!

Who taught you to push up your glasses like that?
Don't you know that this will make people not want to listen to the music but only want to see the person?

"Beautiful girl, you are so beautiful..."

"Ahhh, I love you!"

"Champion champion!"

Not only were the fans crazy, but everyone else was also moved by Zhang Liangying's look and couldn't take their eyes off her.

It's important to know that in 2005, low-rise pants and afro hairstyles were all the rage, and even in Korean entertainment, skinny jeans were all the rage. There was no such thing as Zhang Liangying's intellectual, lazy, and charming makeup and style.
And they even boldly adorned themselves with gold jewelry...

One word, beautiful.

Two words: awesome.

Many fashionistas watching on TV were cheering, "Zhang Liangying's makeup and styling could start a trend, this is a business opportunity..."

but.

When the intro to "Rain Butterfly" started playing, even fans and casual observers who initially said they didn't want to listen to the song but only wanted to see the person were stirred by their inner double helix DNA.

That feeling...

came back!
Everything is back.

Many people are reminded of the winter of 1998 when "My Fair Princess" landed in mainland China.

From then on, this hit drama series has been a viewing sensation every summer, and its ending theme song, "Rain Butterfly," is known to everyone.

Even if someone doesn't know the song title, they can hum along to a few lines as soon as they hear the intro.

Many young people in their early twenties recalled watching "Princess Pearl" with a large group of friends during summer vacation a few years ago.

Fifth Prince, Erkang, Ziwei, Ertai, Rong Momo, Xiao Jian, Liu Qing, Liu Hong...

One by one, familiar characters emerge.

Even the older grandparents tapped their knees gently to the rhythm, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The success of "Rain Butterfly" is inseparable from the fame of "Princess Pearl" and even more so from its composer, Zhang Yu.

He doesn't have many classic songs, but they are very famous, and I believe everyone has heard them, such as "The Moon Caused the Trouble", "The Rain Keeps Falling", "For You", etc.

As the prelude ended, Zhang Liangying raised the microphone.

Her red lips parted slightly...

"Love to the point of heartbreak"

Don't blame anyone.

"Simply because the encounter was so beautiful"

Even if I cry all my tears...

"To the bitter end"

"Heart turned to ashes"

"..."

The first few lines were very stable. Zhang Liangying's chest voice was very round and full. She sang short phrases in a row with smooth vocal pressure release and very clear articulation and stress.

He's clearly an expert!
Huang Zheng knew Zhang Liangying was talented after only listening to a few lines. As a singer, he knew very well that one couldn't sing with that kind of feeling without some skill.

Ke Yimin leaned back in her chair, pursing her lips, seemingly lost in thought...

Hei Nan nodded repeatedly.

I fly to you

"The rain falls gently"

"I want your embrace to surround me."

I fly to you

"I'm not tired no matter how far I go"

"Although there were pains and tears along the way."

"..."

"As long as you have no regrets... I will have no regrets either..."

When singing "No Regrets", Jane Zhang's vocal range suddenly shifted, with a touch of soft blending technique, and the beautiful timbre was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

……

Xinghai Academy.

The room of the dormitory supervisor in the boys' dormitory.

Many boys crowded here to watch the live stream.

"Holy crap, Zhang Liangying's voice is so steady and so gentle, it's even better than our school's teachers' singing..."

"That's so true! I feel that Zhou Bichang from our school is not as good as her."

"Did you notice that at the end of many of her lyrics, her voice hovered on the edge of her vocal register, sounding very weak and pitiful, making you feel sorry for her..."

"Haha, that's exactly the kind of pitiful kitten feeling I want. Jane Zhang is really good at it. I'm a big fan of hers now. I really want to be her assistant."

"Me too, I'm liking her more and more."

"..."

A food stall outside the school.

Zhou Bichang and her classmates were also watching the live stream. After watching this competition, she will return to Changsha to prepare for the finals.

Zhou Bichang wasn't intimidated by Zhang Liangying's singing skills, but rather by Zhang Liangying's outfit and styling today.

"How can I, a tomboy, compare to her, a sexy woman?!"

"Men definitely prefer her type."

"Sigh, why am I not feminine enough, and my breasts aren't as big as hers..."

……

I fly to you

"The rain falls gently"

"I want your embrace to surround me."

"..."

Crispy!
It's tingling!
Zhang Liangying ends each of her sentences with a soft, delicate tone, gently touching the hearts of listeners and evoking a sense of vulnerability that makes one want to hug her.

"As long as you have no regrets... I will have no regrets either..."

Love is so beautiful.

My heart is captivated.

The feeling of being loved

As the last sentence faded, Zhang Liangying's aggrieved face broke into a smile. She covered her collar with one hand and bowed, saying, "Thank you."

She straightened up, looked at Shen Qing, and smiled even more broadly.

When Shen Qing gave her a thumbs-up to encourage her, Zhang Liangying's secretly delighted expression captivated the viewers in front of the TV.

"Ahhh, beautiful girl..."

"looks great."

"Vote! We must vote for Liangying!"

The cheers from the audience told everyone who was the most popular contestant on the Hangzhou stage.

now.

Ding Ding, who had already finished singing, and Ye Yiqian, Jin Minjia, and Lin Shuang, who had not yet sung, all felt a sense of helplessness.

strength……

They're not on the same level.

Fortunately, three people advanced to the national competition. As long as they make it into the top three, they can go to Changsha to participate in the finals and have the opportunity to debut.

Amid cheers from the fans, Zhang Liangying returned to the back.

As for who will ultimately advance and be eliminated in the first round, we'll have to wait until the other three contestants have finished singing to find out.

Executive Director: "Contestant No. 05, Lin Shuang, will sing the song 'Everyday'."

"Oh……"

“Yeah yeah…”

"Sunny day or rainy day"

A crowded coffee shop

"Find a comfortable corner where you can think of me."

The first few lines were sung very poorly.

Lin Shuang's understanding of this song may not be adequate.

Perhaps she simply saw David Tao's "Everyday" as just another ordinary pop love song...

That would be a huge mistake.

As we all know, David Tao is one of the "New Four Heavenly Kings" (Jay Chou, Wang Tingjian, David Tao, and Lin Chien) who emerged from the era of fierce competition in the Chinese music scene, and is known as the "Godfather of Chinese R&B".

The song "Everyday" is a typical R&B song.

Lin Shuang didn't understand what R&B was, or rather, she understood it but not very deeply, because she didn't sing it with that R&B feel at all.

Instead, they sang "Everyday" as a rather unpleasant, pop-style love song...

This made both Hei Nan and Huang Zheng frown.

R&B stands for Rhythm and Blues, with rhythm first and blues second.

Simply put, R&B music refers to a genre of songs that emphasize rhythm and emotional expression.

When singing this kind of song, the most important thing is rhythm.

Lin Shuang's pronunciation lacked any rhythm or cadence.

For example, the lyrics: "Find a comfortable corner where I can think of you."

Her rhythm is 'find a corner where you can feel comfortable', while David Tao's rhythm is 'find a corner where you can feel comfortable'.

Even though the only difference is the position of the '的', this one-word difference makes the entire lyric sound distorted.

Lazy and out of rhythm.

R&B music places great emphasis on the distribution of triplets in a lyric; if the distribution is not good, it will sound incredibly cheesy.

For example, in the phrase "find a corner where you can feel comfortable", David Tao's triplet has three parts: "find a corner where you feel comfortable".

Lin Shuang only has one triplet: "find one," and she sang the whole lyric in a mess.

How could the score possibly be high?
Even Jane Zhang could hear the problem in her voice.

……

Executive Director: "Next up, contestant number 02, Ji Minjia, will sing 'The Same Moonlight'."
