Chapter 58: The Prose Poem Written by My Father
Inside the studio, nearly 200 of Zhang Liangying's fans were overwhelmed with excitement upon hearing the three judges unanimously praise her.

They vented their emotions with shouts.

"Beautiful figure, beautiful voice, beautiful figure."

"Champion, champion, you are the champion."

"Go Zhang Liangying! Be brave and strong and make it to the finals!"

We vote for you!

"..."

Some are happy and some are sad.

While Liangfen (Liangfen's fans) are happy, other fan groups, such as Corn (Liangfen's fans), Biqin (Liangfen's fans), and Hefan (Liangfen's fans), are very unhappy.

"Pshaw, what's so great about it? It's just that you sang a song correctly."

"Hmph, I don't believe Shen Qing can write a new song."

"Without Shen Qing's original songs, what are you, Zhang Liangying? You're just lucky."

"Bibi, beat Zhang Liangying in the next round!!!"

"Go Li Yuchun!"

……

Soon~
The contestants who will be competing in the first round are now announced.

Wang Han: "We'll have to call our notary again. I never want to see this happen, but we have to accept it."

Li Xiang: "Yes, then please have our notary submit the name of the contestant with the lowest number of off-site support votes."

The off-site voting data was obtained directly from the three telecommunications companies, and the notary public had access to first-hand data—at least before the finals.

When the card was opened and the name was seen, Li Xiang smiled helplessly, "The one who needs to compete is... Feng Jiamei."

Feng Jiamei stood there, stunned, as if she had been electrocuted.

She was one of the few contestants to be praised by the judges just now, and now she's going to be the first to step up to the PK seat. How ironic.

But when she thought about how this was the result of a vote by off-site viewers, Feng Jiamei felt relieved...

What can be done if you have few followers?

At this moment, He Jiong, who greatly admired Feng Jiamei, felt a little embarrassed. He put his hand to his forehead and sighed deeply.

He had no choice but to accept this option.

The camera gave him a close-up of his expression.

"Alright, let's invite Feng Jiamei to our waiting area. Go Feng Jiamei!"

"come on!"

"Now, please let the three judges select the other contestant. Please welcome Mr. Hei to announce the results."

The camera focused on Hei Nan.

"We, the three judges, unanimously felt that three of them actually performed a little weaker in this round..."

"First is Huang Yali. Her control was a little lacking today, especially in the high falsetto part, which was not stable enough."

"Then there was He Jie, who made a rather obvious mistake."

"And then there's Li Yuchun. I think your stage presence is indeed dazzling, but your singing performance was too bland, uh..."

Hei Nan paused for a moment.

I don't even know how to point out the flaws.

Because Li Yuchun's performance was terrible, her poor English was the least of her problems.

Just as Shen Qing thought, any music student randomly selected from the Sichuan Conservatory of Music would probably sing better than her.

After thinking for a moment, Hei Nan continued his comments: "I hope you will continue to work hard in your future singing career, avoid swallowing words, and continue to emphasize the key points of the rhythm..."

Actually, Hei Nan wanted to continue talking about this.

But Wang Han felt that time was running out and started reminding him.

So Hei Nan had no choice but to stop there and said, "Then the three of us have unanimously decided that Huang Yali is the one who needs to go up to the PK stage."

An expected result.

He Jie is actually quite strong; she just made a few mistakes, but it's nothing serious. She has no chance of getting into the PK slot.

Chun Ge's popularity ensured her advancement all the way, and she wouldn't be promoted.

It can only be Huang Yali~
……

Feng Jiamei and Huang Yali have very different styles.

Huang Yali leans towards hip-hop and is more youthful, attracting more young people and thus gaining more popularity.

Feng Jiamei is prettier, but on the Super Girl stage, being pretty doesn't seem to be a big advantage.

In the end, Huang Yali won with 19 votes to 16.

Feng Jiamei was eliminated and became the eighth place winner in the 2005 Super Girl competition.

Shortly after, Feng Jiamei concluded her Super Girl final journey with Wu Bai's "Sudden Self".

……

The game continues.

The second round was even more intense.

Because the groups are divided into 2/2/3, each group will have to compete against each other.

This kind of competition segment is the most popular with the audience.

Group 1: No. 10 Huang Yali and No. 08 Li Yuchun.

第二组:07号周笔唱和06号张靓影。    第三组:04号纪敏佳、02号何结合01号叶一倩。

On-site director: "Please welcome Huang Yali to perform the song 'Breathing'!"

This song comes from Cai Jianya's first album, "Breathing," released in 1999.

The original singer was very ordinary; the singing style sounded like the singer was suffocating, and the ending notes were handled very poorly. It was an extremely ordinary song.

The songs on this album are very different in style from those on Cai Jianya's later albums.

As for why her later albums suddenly clicked?

Shen Qing felt that it was related to her becoming a "super tailor," because the songs she sewed were sung the same way.

That's some serious sewing skill...

This is something that ordinary musicians should learn from.
……

Because the original version was not easy to sing, Huang Yali's rendition was naturally even more bland, even more so than if she were lacking oxygen.

Sometimes I really don't understand them. Why do they choose songs like this?

The next performer, Li Yuchun, brought a song called "When I Start to Secretly Miss You," originally written by Zhang Yusheng and sung by A-mei (Chang Hui-mei).

This time, Chris Lee learned from her previous experience with an English song and chose a rock song that better suits her style.

and so.

Although her singing was just so-so, there weren't any major mistakes, and her stage performance was quite good, winning over many of her fans and eliciting screams from the audience.

Ultimately, after the judges' selection, Li Yuchun advanced to the top six ahead of schedule, while Huang Yali was placed in the waiting area.

……

The next pair is Zhou Bichang and Zhang Liangying.

Zhou Bichang performed "Love is Doubt," the title track from Eason Chan's 2001 album "Anyway, It's Me."

The song has a strong retro rock vibe, plus some rap, making it very avant-garde.

Zhou Bichang has broken through her own limits this time.

The style has changed drastically.

Regardless of the outcome, Shen Qing admired her do-or-die spirit and showed no fear of Zhang Liangying.

Unfortunately, she encountered an even stronger opponent.

……

The on-site director announced: "Next up is Jane Zhang, who will perform the song 'Father's Prose Poem'."

Ok?
Another song title I've never heard of!

Is this another original work?
day!
The fans of the other contestants in the studio glared angrily at Zhang Liangying.

I really want to swear!
Just sing the songs you already have. They're not going to stop you from advancing. If you try to create something original like this, it'll make the other contestants look silly!
As for the jelly, that's great.

They wish Zhang Liangying could release a new song every day.

"My father wrote a prose poem, and the song title is so artistic!"

"Could this song be written for his father? His father passed away in 98, I think."

"It must have been written by Shen Qing, right?"

"I heard that Shen's parents are both alive and in good health. If he wrote the song, it was probably written for Jane Zhang."

"..."

Chengdu.

Zhang Guiying played a two-of-a-kind, which hit the opponent's cannon, and lost a dollar. Just then, she saw Zhang Liangying come on stage and said happily, "Oh dear, take a break, my daughter is going to sing, everyone listen."

Her second aunt squinted at the TV: "Guiying, what's the name of the song Xiaoying sang? It's a prose poem written for her father, or for Old Zhang?"

Zhang Guiying's heart skipped a beat.

She knew that Liangying always sang original songs, and this song seemed to be original as well. Could it really be written for Lao Zhang?

Others echoed.

"Xiaoying is such a filial child."

"Even during the competition, he didn't forget to write a song for Lao Zhang."

"Sigh, if only Old Zhang were still here, he could have seen Xiaoying singing."

"Listen to what I think..."

Zhang Guiying pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Well, her father knows what she means by singing. He'll like it no matter what."

at the same time.

Zhang Liangying spoke up.

In 1988, the crops had not yet been harvested.

My daughter was sleeping so sweetly in my arms.

"I don't have time to watch the outdoor movie tonight."

My wife reminded me to fix the sewing machine's pedal.

"I need to go tomorrow; I'll borrow some more money from my neighbor."

"The child cried all day, demanding cookies."

"..."

 Jane Zhang was born in 1984, so the lyrics were changed to reflect 1988.
