Chapter 67: Tricked by Them Again, This is an Adult Fairy Tale!!
“Wow, that sounds so good.”
“As expected of Liangying, she can move me no matter what genre she sings.”
“I like this song, it’s as cheerful as 《Red High Heels》.”
“Don’t you think Shen Qing is a genius? He wrote all these songs, he’s amazing!”
“…”
In the audience.
Although many Liangfen were discussing, Shen Qing’s gaze was always on Zhang Liangying, and his ears were constantly listening carefully.
He was comparing!
The person who sang this song best in his previous life should have been that once-popular female internet celebrity on Douyu: Chen Fa’er.
She became the Top Sister of Douyu with 《Fairy Tale Town》, and later solidified her Top Sister position with 《Grandma Said》.
However, this person was quite outrageous.
She actually said something she shouldn’t have on her live stream, and was struck down by heavenly lightning, completely annihilated.
As for why that woman’s 《Fairy Tale Town》 became so popular?
It was mainly due to her vocal quality.
Her voice was deep and slightly husky, possessing both a cold and sweet quality, making her stand out from the moment she opened her mouth.
…
And Zhang Liangying’s performance tonight, whether in terms of technique, vocals, or emotion, completely surpassed Chen Fa’er.
“Heard the Sleeping Beauty was buried”
“The little mermaid gazes at the golden palace”
“Heard Apollo turned into a golden crow”
“…”
After singing this section, many audience members were stunned.
Something’s not right!
Something’s not right!
“My god, this isn’t a children’s happy song!!”
“We were all deceived by Shen Qing and Liangying, they weren’t trying to make us happy, ahhh, the fairy tales in these lyrics aren’t beautiful…”
“This section, every line, has a deep meaning. I’m going to study it thoroughly after the live broadcast ends tonight.”
“See you on Tieba tonight, let’s study the lyrics together.”
…
“There’s always a dreamlike river winding through Fairy Tale Town”
“Separating ideals from reality”
“…”
“Making all the ‘once upon a time’ moments reach a happy ending, yet feeling unfamiliar”
…
After the song ended, the entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.
Setting aside the lyrics, just listening to the melody and the performance was so good it made their ears tingle.
The Liangfen cheered, and many viewers in front of their televisions were also clapping and cheering.
“Ahhh…”
“Liangying, you’re so amazing!”
“It sounds so good, I want to hear more.”
However, due to the competition format, Liangying had to step down first to let others perform, and would only be reviewed collectively later.
Next.
No. 07 Zhou Bichang performed Wang Leehom’s 《Forever Love》, a song included in the 2004 album 《The Moon and the Sun in My Heart》.
No. 08 Li Yuchun performed another English song, 《Come on over》, originally sung by American singer Jessica Simpson.
Chun-ge, oh Chun-ge, grow a brain~
Her pronunciation is inaccurate, and she lacks passion, yet she insists on singing such a rhythmic English song, which is really not a good choice.
Even though the band was great, they just couldn’t create the dynamic feel.
Shen Qing only saw a tool-like person standing in the center of the stage, moving her body a few times and singing a few lines of lyrics without any emotion.
At first glance, it looked like an employee going through the motions for a leadership inspection.
Perhaps there’s another possibility: Li Yuchun tried her best to perform, but her talent was limited, and this was the best she could do.
The last performer, No. 10 Huang Yali.
She once again performed the theme song from Chinese Paladin, 《Sha Po Lang》, which she had also sung in the Top Ten qualifiers. At that time, the audience was full of cheers.
However, this time, Huang Yali sang the wrong lyrics as soon as she started.
And she even laughed.
This is a major taboo in singing competitions!
Her performance after that was not as good as the previous time.
Perhaps she was too nervous.
But it’s also possible that she knew she had to be eliminated tonight, so she just gave up.
…
After everyone finished performing, the five contestants took the stage.
Li Xiang: “He Jie has already secured one spot. There are two more spots in this round, so which two of them will successfully advance?”
Wang Han: “Please, our judges, deliberate…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of fans started shouting excitedly.
Among them, Li Yuchun’s fans were the loudest, as they were the largest in number and all female, with loud and high-pitched voices.
“Please be quiet, if you want to hear the results…”
Hei Nan had to remind them.
“There were many issues during the performances just now, which really shouldn’t have happened. This is already a 6-into-5 competition, girls!”
“First, Huang Yali, sang the wrong lyrics, was off-key, and laughed…”
“Then, Yuchun, your condition in this round was slightly off, not as good as your previous performance of 《Please Cha Cha》.”
Hei Nan stopped speaking at this point.
As for the issues with their performances, he really didn’t want to say anything.
Because if he said too much, Wang Peng from Tianyu would definitely talk to him after the live broadcast: Don’t expose their shortcomings, they still have to debut, understand Teacher Hei?
“But there were also people who performed very well in this round, such as Zhou Bichang and Zhang Liangying.”
“Especially Zhang Liangying’s Original Song 《Fairy Tale Town》, which seems to be about the fairy tale world of children, but in reality, it reflects the lives of adults more…”
“Through fairy tales, it awakens the inherent kindness and diligence in people’s nature, to fight against the falseness, evil, ugliness, and greed in human nature… ultimately achieving a happy ending…”
Liangfen: ???
Damn, this song has that meaning?
It seems reasonable.
After all, songs like 《Farewell》, 《Father’s Prose Poem》, and 《When You Are Old》 are all very profound songs, so 《Fairy Tale Town》 wouldn’t be shallow!!
“Shen Qing, this is not a happy song.”
“As expected, we were tricked by you two again.”
…
“Finally, Ji Minjia, your performance in this round was also very good, very stable, you performed to your usual standard… Now, on behalf of the judging panel, I announce the results.”
“The first to advance is Zhang Liangying!”
The Liangfen shouted Zhang Liangying’s name!
She advanced!
She advanced to the Top 5 in advance.
One step closer to the Finals, one step closer to debuting.
“Quiet, fans, quiet.”
“The next to advance is Zhou Bichang!”
The Biqin also cheered and waved their flags.
Just as Zhang Liangying and Zhou Bichang walked off the stage together, a naturally abstract holy body appeared. She was likely a fan of Zhou Bichang.
Why did I recognize her at a glance?
Because there was a green pen taped to each of her cheeks.
She looked at the stage, but didn’t see Zhou Bichang.
She showed a confused face…
Then she turned to the left and saw Bichang and Liangying sitting in the resting area. She ran over, and Wang Han couldn’t catch up.
…
At this moment, only Li Yuchun, Huang Yali, and Ji Minjia remained on stage.
I wonder what Chun-ge is thinking now.
Two consecutive English songs failed, directly pushing her to the brink of elimination, which is truly regrettable.
Don’t try musical styles you’re not good at.
After all, your skill is insufficient.
This also indicates one thing: the judges’ dissatisfaction with Li Yuchun’s performance tonight is a form of indirect warning.
Finally.
After a round of acapella campaigning for votes, the judges selected Huang Yali, who performed poorly, to go to the PK Stage, and the other was Ji Minjia, who had the lowest number of votes from the audience.
Li Yuchun breathed a sigh of relief, successfully advancing to the national Top 5.
Ji Minjia has always been popular in PK rounds, and this time was no exception. The 35 public judges eliminated Huang Yali.
The national Top 5 are now all determined.
The next competition will be the grand finale of the 2005 《Super Girl》, which will determine the national Top 3!
…
As soon as the competition ended, the popularity on Tieba surged, with the most popular being two posts:
【A shallow interpretation of 《Fairy Tale Town》, Shen Qing didn’t mean to make us happy!】
【Prediction of the final Top 5 ranking （Not guaranteed）】
Meanwhile,
Shen Qing and Liangying returned to the hotel.
However, He Jie, Ji Minjia, Zhou Bichang, and Li Yuchun were kept by Wang Peng for a closed-door meeting, and Xia Qing also attended.
Tonight seems like it won’t be peaceful.
Thanks to “Tian Dao Feng Jue” for the 10,000-point reward, thank you very much for your great support.
