Chapter 287: "Light Years Away" Xia Qi Wins the Championship
Online, this song "Coral Sea" swept the entire network like a tornado.
"Woo woo woo, what we want is a love song duet, but not a sad love song!"
"Damn it, make sure to make it clear next time you make a wish."
"I knew that Nuoyan was up to no good. Do any of you remember what he said, 'When he thought that readers would cry, he wanted to laugh'?" This is obviously a fan of "The Great Ruler".
When Qin Yao died, a bunch of people shouted to open a blind box, but Xu Nuo even said this classic quote from Mr. Yu Hua at the celebration.
It almost caused a riot, but fortunately he resurrected Qin Yao in the finale, which saved a lot of knives.
"You bastard, you are in love, but you want us to break your defense."
Netizens cursed and clicked on the video. Don't say it, it sounds pretty good.
"It's worthy of the CP I have been supporting for a whole year. Even singing a sad love song is so CP-like."
There were several hot searches on the Internet.
# Nuoyan, the bastard, come and die!
# "Coral Sea" seabirds and fish fall in love, it's just an accident~
Netizens are discussing it hotly, and music critics from all walks of life are online.
They have already taken advantage of the traffic of "Courage". "Did Lin Wanqing give you courage?" quickly became the golden phrase tonight, and it is obvious that it will last for a long time.
As for "Running", it is an inspirational song, "Running with the wind, freedom is the direction~" will also become a classic.
If you want to choose a music critic's favorite singer, last year it was Lin Wanqing, then this year it is Nuoyan.
Each of his songs is enough for them to write three or five music reviews. The lyrics, composition, arrangement, every link are enough for them to brag for a long time, and netizens are willing to buy it.
This time, everyone is eyeing "Coral Sea".
Intuition tells them that this song will be included in Nuoyan's new album "New Era" 100%.
The first song is "Seven Miles of Fragrance" and the second is "Coral Sea", one sweet and one sad, it's absolutely amazing.
This wave of traffic must be taken, no one can help.
An article with a very exaggerated title, "Seven-Li Fragrance - the pinnacle of sweet songs in Chinese music, Coral Sea - the pinnacle of tragic love songs so far", spread on the Internet.
When "Seven-Li Fragrance" was first released, it shocked many seniors in the industry, such as Mr. Lu Xinzhi, who publicly stated that the arrangement of this song should be used as a textbook.
Wu Gaofeng said: "I can't write this song."
Top singers have expressed their affirmation of this song one after another, and many professors have also used this song as a classic case.
The complexity of the arrangement is unimaginable, and it can be called the pinnacle of complexity.
"A masterpiece!"
"The first love song in a hundred years!"
"Amazing, I'm afraid no one in the music industry can write such a song."
No matter how picky the music critics are, they can't make more stringent demands on this song.
Now someone actually compares "Coral Sea" with "Seven-Li Fragrance", then I have to take a look.
Netizens clicked into this article.
"First, from the perspective of the lyrics, have you noticed that every sentence is ai rhymed, every sentence is ai, even the sentence 'Seabirds and fish fall in love, it's just an accident'."
"In addition, I want to say that the lyrics of this song Coral Sea are actually very particular, and there are many sentences with literary connotations. The ancients once said, "The wild geese are in the clouds and the fish are in the water, and it's hard to express my melancholy feelings." This is the same artistic conception as "Seabirds and fish fall in love, it's just an accident." It's no exaggeration to say that there are only a handful of people in the Chinese music scene who can write such lyrics."
Netizens went back to search the lyrics curiously and found that it was true.
"Okay, okay, you secretly ai there, and then told us that it was just an accident, right!"
"It has to be you!"
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some money."
Netizens love to see little surprises in this kind of song.
The ai rhyme undoubtedly makes everyone feel that they have discovered a little secret.
The knocking expert gave a like and forwarded it.
Continue reading to see the difficulty of the song analyzed by the music critic.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! I'll say it three times. Don't try to sing this song in KTV or in competitions. Believe me, you will be laughed at for the rest of your life."
"It's difficult to open your mouth # A2. If you don't have the talent for high notes, don't try it easily. Being laughed at is a small matter, but damaging your vocal cords is a big matter!"
"If you really want to sing it, I suggest you lower the key."
The music critic's advice is very pertinent. This song is nice, and everyone wants to try it, but you still have to do it within your ability.
Of course, netizens are quite rebellious. If you say it's not possible, then it's not possible? I have to try it.
That's how rebellious they are.
Soon, various imitations appeared on the Internet, and the effect can only be said to be comparable to pigs.
Some anchors succeeded in singing it, and they quickly gained tens of thousands of fans.
The anchors like two kinds of songs the most, one is popular, and the other is difficult. "Coral Sea" happens to have both.
A wave of imitations has been set off on the Internet.
The music review of "Coral Sea" has not ended yet: "Speaking of the arrangement, I found that Nuoyan particularly loves piano and string music. It is gorgeous and magnificent, but not bound by clichés. It is a genius work."
Fans nodded one after another. Indeed, after listening to Nuoyan's songs, they always felt that they were not of the same level when listening to other songs.
The songs he wrote for Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou before were also very good, but not as shocking as the recent songs.
"The harmony part is very difficult and the vocal range is very high, but the two of them can do it easily, neatly and without any sloppiness. There are no more than two figures in the entertainment industry who can sing this harmony well."
It is true that not many people can sing the harmony part well. There are only a handful of cover versions of this song that can sing well, and so far only Jay Chou and Joey Yung can sing it well.
"Now it seems that the album is called New Era, which is not too arrogant, because his songs don't seem to belong to this era. The compositions and arrangements are wild and unconstrained, and the antelope hangs its horns. Perhaps "New Era" means that this is his era. "
Music critics were making rainbow farts and praising "Coral Sea" from all angles.
It’s not that they are recharged, and the promise is the traffic password.
Magic City Stadium.
After a tsunami of applause and cheers, the concert finally came to an end.
However, all the subsequent songs are more than inferior to "Coral Sea".
After eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, eating home-cooked meals is almost boring.
At this time, the second stage of the peak night of the finals finally began.
There are four rounds of competition. Except for the first round where students sing with their instructors, the remaining three rounds are all solos.
Lin Wanqing and Xia Qi won first place in the first round, and Xia Qi won second place in the second round as a soloist. In the first two rounds, they ranked first in the audience vote and directly advanced to the fourth round.
Xia Qi will compete with the last student to advance to the fourth round for the championship.
Backstage, Lin Wanqing kept encouraging Xia Qi, "Believe in your own strength. It doesn't matter if you lose. Being able to get here is victory."
Xu Nuo didn't join in the fun and just closed his eyes on the chair to relax.
Finally, the much-anticipated championship battle begins.
The ratings began to rise steadily, and the performances excited the audience, allowing the audience to see what real music is.
Everyone who has reached the semi-finals has no doubt about their strength and has reached the standard for debut.
Finally it was Xia Qi's turn to perform. The time was already eleven o'clock in the evening. The three-hour concert dispelled the audience's fatigue with music that excited the audience.
"Xia Qi! Xia Qi! Xia Qi!"
As the favorite to win the championship, the audience is full of expectations for this petite girl with a loud voice.
With its own reverberation sound, just singing a cappella can give people the ultimate enjoyment.
Xia Qi waved to the audience, confident, bold and generous.
The piano melody that precedes the music is full of aura but majestic.
Song information is displayed on the large screen.
【Light Years Away】
【Lyrics: Promise】
【Composer: Promise】
[Singer: Xia Qi]
The hot man is at it again. Wherever he is, you will definitely see new songs.
This is the third singer he strongly supports. Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou shocked the audience with their new songs in the competition. So what about Xia Qi?
The audience is looking forward to her performance.
The lights on the stage turned into star lights to match the vast Milky Way on the big screen.
The audience suddenly realized that it was no wonder it was called light-years away. Light-year is the largest unit of distance known to everyone, and sometimes people also use it to describe time.
In addition to the famous song "Bubble", "Light Years Away", which she wrote, composed and sang herself, is Deng Ziqi's most widely circulated song.
This song "Light Years Away" is not only very well-known in China, but also has the highest number of downloads in a row!
It is also very popular overseas and has been played more than 200 million times on YouTube. This is also the first Chinese song to exceed 200 million times on YouTube.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that "Light Years Away" was the first Chinese song to be sung at the NASA Awards Ceremony in the United States.
In 2018, Deng Ziqi was invited to attend the "Scientific Breakthrough Award" held by NASA in the United States, an awards ceremony known as the "Oscars of the scientific community", as an award guest, and sang "Light Years Away" live.
On the stage, Xia Qi raised the microphone and sang:
"Feeling stops at my fingertips,
How to freeze time instantly,
Remember to look into my firm eyes,
Maybe there is no tomorrow. "
Clear singing voice, unique voice, and the effect of opening your mouth and kneeling.
The audience at the scene felt as if their souls were soaring to the sky following the singing.
"Facing the vast sea of stars,
We are as small as dust,
Floating in helplessness~"
The big screen changed accordingly, and Xia Qi seemed to be on the starry sky, walking in the starry sky.
There is also a sentence on the screen: "Facing the vast sea of stars, we are as small as dust."
Although it is as small as dust, love can travel through time and ignore space.
Xia Qi was on the stage and continued to sing:
"Fate brings us together in troubled times,
But fate wants us to love each other in times of crisis,
Maybe the future is light years away,
I am willing to wait for you in the unknown..."
The melody has an ethereal feeling, but the rhythm is very powerful, as if it is taking everyone soaring in the endless starry sky.
Until now, this song has not shown the high notes that Xia Qi is famous for.
You must know that the first time the audience knew her was because of her high notes and reverb.
"What's going on? Why did you give up the high note in the final game?"
"And this song is obviously worse at stimulating the atmosphere."
The audience was puzzled. Every singer has his own area of expertise. The song promised to Xia Qi was undoubtedly a cut off.
"Maybe it's to avoid suspicion? After all, Xia Qi signed Fanxing, Nuoyan is the program's chief planner, and Lin Wanqing is the mentor." Some people speculated whether this was the reason.
"As far as I know, Nuoyan never cares about such things."
"Wait and see the chorus part."
The students in the backstage were secretly delighted. If it was to avoid suspicion, he would have accepted the championship with a smile.
The song finally entered the exciting part.
Xia Qi was in full swing.
"Fate made us meet outside the troubled times...
Maybe the future is far away and light years away..."
There were still no high notes, but there were transitions everywhere, and the true and false voices switched back and forth.
The chorus was even more exciting.
"I didn't expect that I could be so crazy for you,
I don't want to escape without you in the landslide and tsunami,
My brain has been crazy for you,
My pulse and heartbeat are not important without you..."
The chorus ended. Although there was no high note that Xia Qi was best at, the audience was also moved by this true and false switching and smooth transitions.
The students stopped laughing. The audience couldn't hear it, but it didn't mean that they couldn't hear it either.
This song has no high notes and is also very difficult.
In the B section of the song, Xia Qi repeated the A section and sang at the end: "We met outside the troubled times and fell in love in the midst of adversity,
I didn't expect~"
The music stopped abruptly.
The audience was silent for a moment, and the whole audience applauded.
The lingering lyrics are matched with the moving melody. Xia Qi has a unique voice and profound singing skills, and she sang out the love that transcends time and space.
The whole song creates a feeling of wandering in space, and the beautiful transition makes the song never tire of listening to it.
The most successful part of a song is that everyone is impressed by some of the lyrics after listening to it only once.
The lyrics "Fate made us meet outside the troubled times~" have made the audience sing along.
The sky above the Magic City Stadium is dotted with stars, and the brightest North Star is shining. With this song "Light Years Away", the atmosphere is even stronger.
With the right time, place and people, Xia Qi presented the most exciting performance in the four rounds.
The audience knew that the game had lost suspense.
The camera gave the media representatives, and everyone looked intoxicated.
The camera swept across the audience, and 80,000 people waved their glow sticks in unison.
"Xia Qi! Xia Qi!" The shouts gradually became unified, forming a huge wave of sound.
There was really no suspense, and the whole audience shouted Xia Qi's name in unison.
This was the audience's recognition of her. In the live broadcast room, the barrage was all brushing Xia Qi's name.
There was no dark horse and no counterattack. Xia Qi has always been the biggest favorite to win the championship. She has excellent singing skills, a unique voice, and a great god like Nuoyan behind her.
In the end, everyone stood up, screaming and shouting wildly, and the huge wave seemed to overturn the entire stadium.
In the media voting and live audience voting stages, Xia Qi won the championship with a huge advantage.
In the rain of flowers, Xia Qi burst into tears on the spot.
"Let us congratulate Xia Qi with the warmest applause, the 2024 China Good Voice-Xia Qi!"
Won the championship, Xia Qi won the championship with a new song "Light Years Away"!
The pinnacle night is still going on, with awards to come and a promised new song, the third song from the new album.
