Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

Should we make some arrangements for Meng Ziyi?

Wu Qiuyan's comprehension ability really impressed Wang Xiaozhou. The top-tier celebrities who came to participate in the singing competition were indeed very strong, and some of them were so strong that they couldn't be defeated by strength alone in a single competition.

If Wu Qiuyan were to arrange for Meng Ziyi to have a relatively weaker opponent, she could appear on the singer's stage for a few more episodes, which would greatly help boost her popularity.

But after thinking it over carefully, Wang Xiaozhou decided against it. With a system by his side, resorting to such underhanded tricks would be a disgrace to reborn individuals.

Using tactics and seizing resources is to ensure that others can compete fairly with you, not to make things unfair for others.

Wang Xiaozhou shook his head at Wu Qiuyan and laughed, "Back when Meng Ziyi was a talent show contestant, she could compete with big names like Xingcan. Now that she's a second-tier star, using underhanded tactics would only make us a laughing stock."

Wu Qiuyan smiled awkwardly, but could only nod in agreement. Neither of them spoke again, and they watched the host on stage go through the procedures.

Soon, the tense and exciting lottery drawing process began.

In the past, Wang Xiaozhou would feel nothing at this time of year, and even feel a little bored, but today he was starting to get nervous.

People are always like this; the more they have, the more they want. Wang Xiaozhou wanted Meng Ziyi to stay as a singer.

But things don't always go as planned. Meng Ziyi and Wang Feng drew their opponent in this round of the lottery: the elegant male god Lin Zhixuan!

Seeing the worry on Wang Xiaozhou's face, Wu Qiuyan sighed and reassured him, "This draw was absolutely real. Those veteran singers wouldn't stoop to such underhanded tactics, and the companies of the remaining singers didn't make any moves either. I didn't interfere either, so this was all luck."

Wang Xiaozhou turned his head and suddenly laughed: "It doesn't matter whether it's luck or not. This kind of competition is about strength. I want Meng Ziyi to stand out. Even if she faces a contestant of average strength, there's no point in her staying on the show. On the contrary, if she faces Lin Zhixuan and can still win, that would be the best outcome."

Wu Qiuyan was speechless. Just how arrogant was this young man to think that his song could beat Lin Zhixuan's hit song?

Seeing Wu Qiuyan's expression, Wang Xiaozhou knew she didn't quite believe it, but it didn't matter. He would know everything once the contestants came on stage.

The host then recited two final "GG" phrases, prompting the audience to cheer. The guests then took the stage one by one, and the recording officially began.

The first to take the stage was a new challenger. This singer was probably unlucky, or perhaps her company knew she wasn't good enough and just sent her to go through the motions. So her opponent was... Huang Ma.

The result was completely predictable. The challenger performed well, but Huang Ma hit a world-shattering high note. The two were simply not in the same league, and the challenger was eliminated immediately.

The second match was a contest between players within the same group, with two relatively lower-ranked stars facing off.

The third match was the most exciting, with two veteran singers going head-to-head, each bringing out their signature songs. The audience votes were tied, and the final result would not be known until the end of the show.

The fourth match will be Meng Ziyi's stage.

Those who can participate in this program are all well-known figures in the entertainment industry. There are no low-class segments such as pre-competition trash talk. Meng Ziyi and Wang Feng went on stage and started performing immediately.

As the background music began, the singers in the backstage dressing room clasped their hands together, eagerly anticipating what quality original song Meng Ziyi would present.

Originality is a hallmark of Meng Ziyi.

What's more, there's also Wang Banbi singing on stage, who is also famous for his original songs.

It's really unreasonable for the two of them to perform their previous signature songs together.

The two of them, of course, did not disappoint. They walked to the center of the stage together, looked at each other, and neither of them spoke, letting the music prelude continue.

To everyone's surprise, after these two went on stage, another group of musicians immediately came on stage and stood in the backup vocal positions.

That wasn't all. After the backup singers took their places, dozens of instrumental teachers came on stage with their instruments.

"Wow, what a big commotion!"

"Keep it down, this intro is something else, it has an epic feel to it, it's giving me goosebumps."

Inside the lounge, Huang Ma and Lin Zhixuan were exchanging words.

The stage crew was finally complete, and Meng Ziyi picked up the microphone and began to speak right on the beat of the music:

"When the ashes sealed the frosty eaves,

When the chrysanthemum turns into autumn dew.

I made my travel bag from stubborn, withered vines.

They ventured into a foreign land filled with thorns.

"The pitch's too high, it sounds like rock?"

Huang Ma quickly spoke up during the interlude.

Meng Ziyi's opening performance was of very high quality. Everyone knows that she has excellent singing skills, so it didn't cause too much surprise. People were just curious about the type of song she sang.

Lin Zhixuan nodded: "With Wang Feng involved, the possibility of rock music is very high, and this song won't be that simple. I have a feeling the chorus will be incredibly crazy!"

As a veteran and accomplished singer, Lin Zhixuan can discern the intention behind the arrangement.

The song starts off with a sense of oppression. Although Meng Ziyi's singing helped to alleviate much of the oppressive feeling in the arrangement, Lin Zhixuan could still sense a feeling of constraint.

The verses of this song might feel frustrating to listen to, but in another sense, they can also be seen as building up tension.

Judging from Wang Xiaozhou's past songwriting style, the more intense the initial climax, the more explosive the chorus will be.

Meng Ziyi took a step back, and Wang Feng raised the microphone at the right moment to take over the second verse, opening with his signature shrill voice.

"When the earth is covered with weeping fallen leaves,

When azaleas turn into haze in the distant sky.

Bless me, my dearest loved ones.

That was the figure of me saying goodbye to you.

Seeing Wang Feng step back again, leaving Meng Ziyi in the spotlight, everyone in the lounge perked up, silently exclaiming, "Here he comes!"

Meng Ziyi didn't give anyone time to react; she picked up the microphone and fired a powerful, resonant high-pitched shot that echoed throughout the venue.

"Perhaps the melancholy of being lost will tear my steps apart."

But I believe the future will give me wings to dream.

Although the pain of failure has left me battered and bruised,

But I firmly believe that the light is just ahead!

Meng Ziyi stepped back, giving the stage back to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng was not to be outdone. He repeated the chorus with his signature ripping vocals, then took two steps back and stood with Meng Ziyi, handing the stage over to the interlude and backing vocals.

The backup singers who came on stage earlier started with a beautiful high note, and their singing brought the atmosphere to another level.

As the interlude progressed, the previously stunning chanting transformed into two neat "hey" and "ah" tones, further amplifying the sense of anticipation.

The band, which had been waiting in the wings, finally raised their hands and played the tune of an epic battle song.

The second part, building momentum, was handed over to Wang Feng, and only his voice could convey the increasingly powerful feeling.

"I used my wings to stir up the waves on the horizon."

I used my body to hold up the blood-red sun.

In this biting and fierce wind,

You will hear me, my cry praising the future!

Wang Feng's signature shouts, accompanied by the backing vocalists' "roars," "heys," and "ha"s, got the audience all fired up and gave them goosebumps.

Starting from the second chorus, Meng Ziyi joined in the singing, but she only played a harmonizing role, and the main stage was still given to Wang Feng.

"Perhaps the melancholy of being lost will tear my steps apart."

But I believe the future will give me wings to dream.

Although the pain of failure has left me battered and bruised,

But I firmly believe that the light is just ahead!

The two of them roared together, finally releasing some of the momentum they had built up earlier, but it wasn't enough!

As the duo sang their last line, the backup singers roared and yelled again. Everyone in the dressing room leaned forward, their blood boiling and their scalps tingling with excitement, secretly hoping, "It's here! It's finally coming!"

Wang Feng straddled the wall, leaned back, and assumed a fighting stance, awaiting his final roar.

Meng Ziyi raised her hand, once again preparing Wang Feng for action:

"Perhaps the melancholy of being lost will tear my arms apart."

But I believe the future will give me wings to dream.

Although the trauma of setbacks has made it difficult for me to move forward,

But I firmly believe that the light is just ahead!

"But I firmly believe that the light is just ahead!"

......

Meng Ziyi kept repeating the last line of the lyrics, and the backing vocals grew louder and louder.

Finally, at a point when Meng Ziyi hit a high note to the extreme, the music stopped abruptly, the backing vocals went silent, and Meng Ziyi put down the microphone.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Feng slowly raised the microphone.

"But I firmly believe that the light...is just ahead!"

With a loud "smack," the drum kit struck, and all the other instruments joined in, bringing the rock extravaganza to a close.

The entire audience stood up and gave the stage the loudest cheers and applause.

"You're cheating! You're cheating!"

After things calmed down a bit, the host invited Lin Zhixuan to the stage. Faced with his competitor, Lin Zhixuan said these words helplessly.

Wang Feng laughed heartily, his voice hoarse and cheerful; even his voice now had a rock and roll quality.

"We definitely benefited, but there's nothing we can do about it. The charm of rock music lies in the live performance, don't you all agree!"

"right!!!"

The last sentence was addressed to the audience, who responded with great enthusiasm.

I have to admit that this guy is a genius at creating a lively atmosphere. With him around, it's hard for the atmosphere not to be enthusiastic.

Lin Zhixuan was also somewhat helpless. Wang Feng's status was no lower than his own, and their singing skills were about the same. However, Wang Feng had two more advantages: rock and original songs. This round was really uncertain.

The host escorted Meng Ziyi and Lin Zhixuan off the stage, allowing Lin Zhixuan to begin his performance.

The cocktail heartthrob performed his signature song, "Single Love Song," and received countless positive reviews throughout the performance.

Unfortunately, in this kind of ring-style competition, rock music had a clear advantage. Meng Ziyi and Wang Feng won by a landslide in the audience vote, leaving Lin Zhixuan shaking his head in frustration.

"Did they really win?"

Wu Qiuyan, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but murmur aloud.

Wang Xiaozhou leaned forward with a sly grin: "Yeah, they really won! A contestant from 'The Voice of China' three months ago, today he and Wang Feng teamed up to beat Lin Zhixuan!"
