Chapter 66: Fairy Tale Town - Not a Fairy Tale at All (Seeking double monthly votes at the end of the month)
The next round is about to begin.

Fans of Zhang Liangying are excited again, and many have already recovered from the sadness of failing to advance.

"Please, I've run out of tears."

"What's up with Shen Qing? Has he been through something these past few days? Why is he always playing such sad songs?!"

"Please sing some cheerful songs, like 'East and West' and 'Red High Heels,' with upbeat melodies!"

"Haha, I'm happy no matter what she sings. So what if she cries? It's a good thing that Liangying didn't advance early. At least we can hear her sing one more song!"

Shen Qing: You're happy so quickly? I should have let Liangying sing "Where Has the Time Gone," and made you all cry again.

……

"Beautiful figure, beautiful voice, beautiful figure."

"Corn is not afraid of hard work, and light rain is the most precious thing."

"Rainy Spring, Rainy Spring, the Supreme of the Stage".

"Smooth and flowing strokes, a powerful vocalist."

The commercials ended, the live stream continued, and fans from each group began to compete with each other using slogans, with wave after wave of shouts.

Shen Qing heard that several fans had pretty good high notes, much better than Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang. There were some really talented people among the crowd!

at this time.

The camera focuses on Li Xiang and Wang Han.

"Welcome back."

"In the next round, five contestants will take turns singing a song according to their assigned numbers, and two of them will be selected to advance directly."

"Then the remaining three will compete in a PK, through a contestant-assisted singing competition."

"First, please welcome contestant number 04, Ji Minjia."

She sang Tengger's "Heaven".

This song is very difficult.

Moreover, without Tengger, one simply cannot capture the feeling of 'grazing on the grassland' in a song.

Shen Qing could clearly hear that Ji Minjia was deliberately imitating Tengger's vocal style, but it always sounded awkward and out of place.

I wouldn't recommend choosing a song with such a strong personal style, because the judges might have preconceived notions and compare your performance to the original singer's.

A comparison will reveal the truth.

after that.

It was Zhang Liangying's turn, number 06.

Amid cheers from the fans, the on-site director announced the song title: "Fairy Tale Town!"

Wow? Did I hear that right?

"Fairytale Town!!!"

"Original..."

"Liangying is so thoughtful, waaaah, I want to cry."

"She just sang a song that made us cry, and now she's immediately singing a fairy tale song to comfort us. She's so sweet."

"Hey everyone, cheer up! This is a fairy tale song!"

"..."

Viewers in front of their televisions were very curious about "Fairy Tale Town," a song they had never heard before, and couldn't imagine how Jane Zhang would sing it.

When the music started, everyone smiled knowingly.

The opening is a sound of a clockwork being wound up, reminiscent of music boxes and other toys that need to be wound up.

As expected, it's about fairy tales...

I can relate to it now.

This song must be really fun!!
But as the intro continued to play, some people's thoughts began to change. "This melody is not right. Although it sounds nice, it's not a cheerful tune. It seems to be something on my mind?"

Take Heilongjiang as an example.

He had a very deep understanding of music, and he could taste a different flavor from the prelude of "Fairy Tale Town". He thought to himself, "It seems that Shen Qing does not intend to make the audience happy. He is still going to make them depressed?"

I learned the word "depressing" from a forum a couple of days ago.
It has few words, but the meaning is very apt.

So Hei Nan also added it to his vocabulary, so he can say it when he talks to people in the future, which is so cool!

Also.

Xia Qing, who is very perceptive, also sensed that something was wrong.

She turned to look in Shen Qing's direction and saw him quietly watching Liang Ying. She thought to herself, "My God, what are you trying to express with this song? You must be up to no good. Are you trying to use a dark fairy tale to metaphorically represent reality? What a clever little devil!"

However, most people couldn't taste the 'subtle melancholy' flavor. He Jiong was just listening to the song happily, treating it as a cheerful tune.

Zhang Liangying raised the microphone, and the fans all fell silent. "I heard Snow White is running away."

"Little Red Riding Hood is worried about the Big Bad Wolf"

"I heard the Mad Hatter likes Alice"

"The ugly duckling will become a white swan"

"I heard Peter Pan never grew up."

"Jack has a harp and magic."

I heard there's a candy house in the forest.

Cinderella lost her beloved glass slipper.

"..."

A series of fairy tales were sung, instantly piquing the interest of the children watching on television.

For every line Zhang Liangying sang, the children would tell the corresponding fairy tale.

These correspond to: Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Alice in Wonderland, The Ugly Duckling, Peter Pan, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hans Christian Andersen, and Cinderella.

Well, all of this sounds perfectly normal.

Moreover, Jane Zhang's voice is also very beautiful. When she sings in low notes, it is soft, delicate, beautiful, resilient, and bright. Her timbre is simply amazing.

But she wasn't that strong from the start.

In the past few months, Shen Qing has been learning and improving himself while giving Liang Ying a lot of guidance, since he has a systematic learning system and learns very quickly.

Over the past three months, Shen Qing has read more than a dozen professional books written by European and American singers, and also got to know a professor of bel canto at the Central Conservatory of Music through Zhang Lu's connection.

Her music theory knowledge is impressive; she could easily make subtle adjustments to Zhang Liangying's singing. If it's really difficult to adjust, she could even help open her mouth wider.
That's why we have such a wonderful performance tonight.

now.

The audience at the scene had thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

They completely lost the emo they had in the previous round.

In order not to disturb Liangying's singing, the fans cheered her on by clapping.

The other five contestants also clapped.

Zhang Liangying's song once again made them envious.

Almost everyone looked at Shen Qing.

If they could snatch someone, they would just start taking action.

At the same time~
Here comes the first chorus.

The first eight lines of lyrics are a brief introduction to eight fairy tales, and the lyrics later incorporate the creator's understanding of the fairy tales themselves.

Some people say that "Fairy Tale Town" is a dark version of fairy tale songs, but Shen Qing does not agree.

Because that's how those fairy tales were written; the original authors didn't embellish them.

Fairy tales may seem beautiful, but they are actually cruel.

For example, the Little Mermaid had her tongue cut out by the witch and turned into sea foam so that she could be with the prince.

Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were eaten by the Big Bad Wolf.

In Cinderella, the prince brings the dancing shoes to Cinderella's father and says, "Let your daughter wear these shoes; whoever can fit into them will be your fiancée..."

Then, the eldest daughter cut off her toes and the second daughter cut off her heels so that they could wear those tiny shoes, but they didn't end up becoming each other's fiancées.

In Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Red Shoes," the little girl who puts on the red shoes has no choice but to keep dancing; she can't help but dance even if she doesn't want to.

The shoes wouldn't come off, so in the end, they had to chop off the feet.

These red dancing shoes are like whips falling on cattle and horses, making those newly graduated cattle and horses keep going to work, because if they stop, they will lose their grass.

There are countless similar short stories.

If viewed from this perspective, the adult world is a fairy tale every day, only these fairy tales aren't so beautiful.

Only the wise river knows.

Snow White ran away from the castle because she was playing.

Little Red Riding Hood had something to restrain herself from doing.

"The Crimson Robe That Turned into a Wolf"

"..."

But the audience didn't think too much about it; they temporarily felt happy from Zhang Liangying's beautiful singing.

But soon, they should be able to continue with that weak and depressing mood brought about by "When You Are Old".
