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

Chapter 79: Writing Songs in My Youth Without Knowing the Limits (First Update, 4600 words)
My teeth are practically crushed!

How can you be so strong?
How can I judge you to lose if you cover it like this?
How the hell did I put all my eggs in one basket with Li Yuchun?

……

Wang Peng asked himself three soul-searching questions!
Now, Mr. Wang finally understands how Zhuge Liang felt back then.

When faced with an incompetent ruler like Liu Shan, no matter what tricks you pull, it won't work. Liu Shan just wants to be happy and forget about home, and just wants to coast along. What can you do?

"but……"

"Singing a song well doesn't prove anything!"

"We can't panic! We still have a chance to turn things around."

“Li Yuchun’s popularity is definitely no less than hers. Right now, their SMS votes are evenly matched. As long as the difference is no more than 50, I can make Li Yuchun win directly. Anyway, the final data is in my hands.”

"Hehe, do you want to check the data again, Liangfen?"

"This data is in the hands of China Mobile, China Unicom, and PHS. How are they supposed to investigate it? Even if they get data from one of them, it won't be of any use, and it will be very difficult for them to get all the data from the other two."

"win!"

Wang Peng regained his confidence and said into the headset, "Prime Minister Li, please get Zhang Liangying down as soon as possible. Time is of the essence."

Li Xiang was a little embarrassed.

But she couldn't completely ignore Wang Peng's words, so she had to speed up and send Zhang Liangying off the stage to start the next segment.

But the fans' emotions haven't been vented yet!

now.

Hundreds of fans in the audience kept chanting Zhang Liangying's name.

"sounds amazing."

"Crazy for Love, Liangying, you are my goddess!"

"That's what you call a cover! A cover that surpasses the original!"

"Zhang Liangying, you've broken my heart with your singing."

"I thought of my ex-girlfriend, sob sob..."

Who understands the pain of heart-wrenching love?

"..."

As Zhang Liangying stood in the rest area at the edge of the stage, her fans continued to call her name, over and over again, and some were moved to tears.

That shows the magic of that song.

It really touched everyone's hearts.

They had never heard a version of "Crazy for Love" that was just as good as Liu Ruoyin's, and even surpassed the original singer to some extent.

And this song was sung by their idol.

How could I not be excited?
Is this Zhang Liangying's talent?

After a while, seeing that everyone was still screaming and clapping, Liangying felt that it would affect the live broadcast, so she took two steps forward.

She moved closer to the edge of the stage, made a shushing gesture, and quietly reminded everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet, let's talk after the competition, okay?"

Only then did the fans quiet down.

……

First row, offstage.

Ke Yimin turned her head and said, "Hei Nan, I really admire Zhang Liangying's singing skills now. I used to think she was a bit pretentious and didn't like her much, but now my opinion has changed. She has the right to be pretentious."

Hei Nan laughed and replied, "I've always thought she was amazing and I like her a lot, but tonight she really surprised me. I really want to see where her limits are!"

Ke Yimin said, "I wish I had come to the rehearsal this afternoon. Now I don't even know what song she'll sing next... Do you think it's an original or an arrangement?"

Hei Nan: "It should be an original. Shen Qing is very good at writing lyrics, composing music, and arranging. He would never be willing to sing someone else's song in the final. He must be holding back something big."

Ke Yimin: "I'm really looking forward to it! I hope to see Zhang Liangying's best performance! It will be worth flying back from abroad just to watch the finals."

……

at the same time.

Viewers watching on television noticed something unusual.

Unaffected by the atmosphere, they clearly felt that Zhang Liangying's interview time was relatively short, seemingly only two-thirds of Li Yuchun's.

Ordinary passersby were all curious: What's going on here?
Not to mention the fans who cared about the outcome of the match, they all started cursing.

"Today's photo is so short!"

"Is Li Xiang targeting us? He interviewed those two tomboys for two minutes, while our beautiful Ying sang such a powerful 'Crazy for Love' for less than a minute and a half."

"Damn, this competition is so rigged."

"Liangying has really been targeted all along. If it weren't for her strong abilities, she would have been eliminated by Tianyu Entertainment long ago."

"Liangying, we support you not signing with EE-Media. A company like that isn't worth your time! After the competition, you and Shen Qing can choose a big company. Sony, Universal, and Warner are all better than EE-Media, aren't they?"

"..."

Wang Peng wanted to use this trick to shorten the time it took for viewers to vote for Zhang Liangying, but he was too naive.

Even if a small number of passersby forgot to vote due to time constraints, it was only a small minority. Those who were deeply attracted by "Crazy for Love" had already picked up their phones to compose text messages.

This song keeps countless young and middle-aged men awake at night!

I enjoyed listening to it.

I will definitely give a reward (vote)!
……

Between the first and second rounds, many segments were interspersed, such as lucky draws, fan sing-alongs to garner votes, off-site fan calls, performances by veteran artists, and video blessings.

After everything was done, it was time for the contestants to compete, which the fans had been eagerly anticipating.

"Damn it! Hunan TV is really good at dragging out the time. Can't they let Zhang Liangying come up and sing? We want to hear an original song!"

"Go down, all of you. I want Yuchun."

"I wasted a whole 20 minutes of my time; I just wanted to watch the pen sing!"

"..."

The second round of competition has finally arrived amidst the eager anticipation of fans.

Zhou Bichang was the first to take the stage.

She sported her signature hairstyle, wore black-rimmed glasses, and a purple trench coat, and sang Jay Chou's "Black Humor".

This song is from Jay Chou's first album, released in November 2000.

Music students say it's a popular singing style with a difficulty level of 9.

Shen Qing believes that among Jay Chou's most difficult songs to sing, "Black Humor" is definitely a top-tier song.

It is a great test of vocal cord function and technique, such as the continuous high-density appearance of high notes and true and false voices from beginning to end.

Some people might say, isn't this song very simple?

It's just an A4 high note, and the vibrato isn't particularly difficult; I can sing it too...

But that's the trap!

Being able to sing doesn't mean you can sing well.

Many people can sing from beginning to end, but their vocal cords are very tight, and it feels like they are pinching their throats.

This is wrong.

You have to sing it effortlessly, and you need to blend your true and falsetto voices, high notes, and vocal transitions together with a high density of techniques, without making any mistakes...

This is difficult.

Zhou Bichang's vocal cords are not very functional, and she is far from being able to handle "Black Humor" with ease.

Her performance was a minor disaster.

Every sentence teeters on the brink of spiraling out of control.

It's a bit heartbreaking to hear.

and.

Most importantly, it didn't surpass Jay Chou's style, and in comparison, many people felt that her singing was a bit poor.

……

On-site director: "Please welcome Li Yuchun to perform 'Maria'."

This is a Spanish-language rock song.

The melody is dynamic and energetic.

It seems that Brother Chun has embarked on a one-way journey of self-expression from which there is no turning back.

You ask what singing skills are?
How could Brother Chun know!

All she wants to do right now is jump for joy.

offstage.

Shen Qing shook his head: "When a singer stops valuing singing skills and starts caring about external things, they will undoubtedly not go far."

Hei Nan and Ke Yimin exchanged a smile, neither of them saying anything.

What's there to say to Tianyu's own son? Just praise him, that's enough. They're too lazy to explain further; saying too much would only upset Wang Peng.

It's clear who's stronger on stage; no amount of pretense can hide the difference in singing ability.

As for He Jiong, Chang Kuan, and the others, they all looked at the stage with smiles on their faces, but everyone knew very well in their hearts, "The gap is quite large!"

Wang Peng stood by the window, stroking his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

But judging from his eyes and expression, he didn't seem very happy.

But what is poison to him is honey to me.

Those fans of Li Yuchun were overjoyed.

They just like singers who are cool and charismatic. They don't really care about singing skills; as long as they're having fun, that's all that matters.

……

On-site director: "Please welcome Jane Zhang to perform 'Moonlight'!"

Finally, it was Liangying's turn. Not only did the fans applaud, but Hei Nan, He Jiong, and others also applauded.

These musicians also want some simple food.
"It's an original work!"

"Yes! Shen Qing wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and arranged the music. He's amazing."

"Judging from the song title, it sounds like a love song."

"Hmm? Something's not right! The intro has a bit of a martial arts feel to it, could it be a ballad in the martial arts genre?"

"Brother, this is called Chinese style, just like Jay Chou's 'Dongfeng Po'."

"..."

Zhang Liangying strolled to the center of the stage, smiling gently.

Subsequently.

She took a deep breath and got into the zone in a second.

"Holy crap! They got into character that fast?"

"As expected of Liangying, she's amazing."

"Judging from her expression, it must be a rather painful love song?"

Once she was in the right mood, Liangying gave the band leader an OK sign.

The band leader returned the OK sign and excitedly pressed the first key.

They love this song so much.

During rehearsals, Zhang Liangying's singing was like eating a giant intestine, spinning and spinning, with countless syllables.

The band members were all amazed when they first saw this singing style.

Their goal is to collaborate with such experts.

Who would want to provide background music for those newbies?
I didn't enjoy accompanying Li Yuchun at all before; if I played something wrong, Li Yuchun wouldn't even realize it.

……

The moment the sounds of the guzheng, erhu, and xiao are heard, a strong Chinese style emerges.

Ke Yimin: "Chinese style?"

Hei Nan: "Yes! This intro is definitely it, it uses a lot of traditional instruments."

Ke Yimin: 'Haha, I'm kind of looking forward to it. Is she finally using her trump card in the final? I hope her Chinese style will surprise me.'

Hei Nan glanced around, leaned closer to Ke Yimin, and whispered, "We have to use our trump card. If her vote lead over Li Yuchun isn't too big... the championship is in serious jeopardy."

Ke Yimin had a 'Holy crap' expression on her face.

No, is this something I can talk about?
Hei Nan, you've gotten too cocky!
……

Fans in the audience and in front of their televisions were also discussing it.

Many people said they liked this intro.

After all, the style is completely different from before.

"The color of moonlight, the fragrance of women"

"Tears break the sword, how long is the love?"

"How painful it is, words cannot describe."

"..."

Three words, three words, this is a typical R&B style.

Hu Yanbing truly deserves to be called the only contestant in mainland China who can rival Zhou, Wang, Tao, and Lin. His understanding and application of R&B is in no way inferior to these four.

The first few sentences showcased Zhang Liangying's usual high standard.

With clear enunciation, a mellow and refined voice, and a soothing and lingering quality, it is a heavenly experience for those who love lyrical music.

But these are just appetizers; the real mountain road twists and turns are yet to come!

Anyone who has heard "Moonlight" knows that Hu Yanbing, at the peak of his vocal cord function and physical fitness, was a prodigy who could sing hundreds of trills.

Jane Zhang: "I've forgotten you~~~"

offstage.

Hei Nan laughed and said, "Haha, as expected of her, she even used the '6717' sound in this sentence."

He Jiong asked, "Teacher Hei, what kind of technique is this?"

Hei Nan replied, "It's a universal formula for vocal transitions that has been used in many songs. I can tell you about it after she finishes singing."

Hei Nan will regret saying that.
Zhang Liangying's vocal runs in the upcoming song are so numerous that it would take three days and three nights to describe them all.

A lonely soul, drifting with the wind.

Who cares about the lovelorn man?

"This battlefield of the mortal world"

"Among a vast army, who can claim the title of king?"

This part was a real treat for fans and casual listeners alike; the repeated vocal transitions gave a tingling sensation and were incredibly satisfying.

But this is still just an appetizer.

The truly challenging transitions are yet to come.

The chorus is coming!

"Who dares to cross the threshold of love?"

Gazing at the bright moon, my heart is filled with sorrow.

"A regret that lasts a thousand years, to be tasted in reincarnation."

With eyes closed, who will be drunk and mad?

The overwhelming sense of grudges and love affairs among the heroes and heroines of the martial arts world, along with the poignant and tragic atmosphere, is simply irresistible.

Why do I feel that way so much?

This section features a whopping 83 vocal transitions, and is further enhanced by Liang Ying's unique, ethereal, and emotionally rich head mix.

Who wouldn't be confused after hearing that?

Even without analyzing the technique, from the perspective of an ordinary viewer watching on television, this performance is still chilling.

At this moment, many viewers on the screen were amazed.

"So cool!"

"It's incredibly beautiful."

"Listening to Jane Zhang sing is truly a pleasure."

"Aren't those two tomboys ashamed?"

"Tianyu Entertainment actually forced Zhang Liangying out. I really don't know what their boss was thinking? Couldn't they offer a better contract to a talented player?"

"Zhang Liangying, the championship tonight is definitely yours!"

And those professional viewers~
Many people have analyzed it from a professional perspective, and the more they analyze it, the more desperate they feel, and they can't help but exclaim, "Is this what genius is?"

In the phrase "谁敢闯", the word "谁" changes its sound four times, while the word "敢" changes its sound six times.

In the phrase "望明月" (wàng míng yuè), the character "月" (yuè) is pronounced eight times.

The 'reincarnation taste' turned 12 times in total.

This entire chorus has a total of 83 notes.

Learn! Go ahead and learn! You learn without making a sound.

This is a heartbreaking song that can make you feel like you've eaten a nine-turn intestine.

Who wrote this song?
Shen Qing?
Can you please consider the limits of Liangying's abilities? What if Liangying can't sing that many turns anymore in a few years?
Shen Qing didn't care at all. After all, in his previous life, Hu Yanbing was always said by fans to be the one whose "original singer disappeared," but that didn't affect the fans' love for him at all.

This song is no longer his.
Sorry Hu Yanbing~! Shen Qing just wants to crown Liangying as the god of 'vocal transitions' in the Qin Dynasty, unless you can write a song even better than "Moonlight" in the future.

For a talented player like Hu Yanbing, maybe he really can do it?

Pushing them to their potential is always a good idea.

……

The first verse of the song is finished.

Inside the studio, enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted.

Even the judges, directors, teachers, and artists sitting in the front row were applauding Zhang Liangying's performance.

However, it's hard for Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang's fans to be happy. The more outstanding Liang Ying is, the more difficult it is for their idols to win the championship.

At the same time, Wang Peng, Li Yuchun, and Zhou Bichang all looked equally grim.

Wang Peng, in particular, was so eager to rush up and turn off the sound system: Sing, sing my ass, how can you bully people like this?

At this moment, the beautiful figure was completely unaffected by the outside world.

She was still immersed in the mood of the song.

In addition, the band's musicians and backing vocalists were also immersed in the music and had no time to pay attention to the noise outside.

soon.

Here it comes again.

This performance was different from the previous one. Not only were there more vocal transitions, but it also incorporated smoky and crying vocal techniques, and the singer frequently switched between falsetto and natural voice.

This is very scary.

Most importantly, Zhang Liangying didn't make a single mistake throughout the entire process.

She executed each point perfectly according to Shen Qing's requirements, conveying the emotions perfectly. Just by listening to her voice, you could tell she had experience in the martial arts world and was a genuine member of the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world).
As the last syllable fell, Zhang Liangying took a deep breath and smiled.

The enthusiastic applause from the audience made her realize that she had successfully completed the task assigned by Shen Qing.

In the second round, there was still no match for him.

Zhang Liangying no longer considers Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang as rivals, because their singing skills are completely unworthy of hers; she now wants to challenge herself more.

Seeing Shen Qing calm and composed in the audience, Liang Ying recalled his words: "You already have two feet on the champion's podium. Your next song, 'Wanjiang,' should make everyone lose the will to compete with you and completely kill the competition!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Liangying clenched her little fists, determined to fulfill Shen Qing's expectations: "Win the 2005 Super Girl championship, and then conquer the Chinese music scene!"
