Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Yang Ye and Elva Hsu sang an inspirational song, while George Lam and Leo Ku sang a powerful song.

Zhang Guorong and Wang Fei performed next and sang a classic love duet "Who Makes You Crazy".

This song was originally a duet between Zhang Guorong and Chen Jieling in the 1980s.

The lyrics roughly mean that two people have feelings for each other, but can't say it out loud.

Chen Jieling is a singer with a good voice, but when it comes to voice, Faye Wong is the representative.

This time, the duet between the two can be said to have taken the song a step further and surpassed the original version.

Deng Lijun and Ren Xianqi sang a classic song "The Moon Represents My Heart".

After Teresa Deng passed away, many singers covered her song "The Moon Represents My Heart" to commemorate her. Ren Xianqi himself has covered it many times.

Many singers even use holographic images to sing with Deng Lijun remotely.

Deng Lijun is alive and well now and in good health. It is basically impossible for her to die young. There is no need for holographic images or remote singing.

However, she has been in semi-retirement since 1984 and rarely appears in public.

It was not until last year that the "Billion Applause" concert was restarted in mainland China, and then it fell silent again.

This time, he made a comeback and participated in "The Voice of China" to help Yang Ye.

After The Voice ends, she will go into seclusion again.

Most people would have no chance to sing a duet with her, but Ren Xianqi is one of them.

"The Moon Represents My Heart" is a classic song that almost everyone in the Chinese world can sing.

So when the two of them sang together, the whole audience started a chorus, pushing the first round of singing to its climax.

……

After the first round of singing, five hundred professional judges began to vote.

The results came out, and Yang Ye and Su Huilun were at the bottom. The reason was that although the song was good, Yang Ye's performance was mediocre, which dragged Su Huilun down. This...

Yang Ye had no choice. Compared with the three top singers in the industry, Teresa Tang, George Lam, and Zhang Guorong, his singing skills were indeed not as good as those of Teresa Tang.

George Lam and Leo Ku ranked third, mainly due to disharmony.

Gu Juji's voice couldn't keep up with Alan Lam, and in order to accommodate Gu Juji, Alan Lam sang in a lower key, which reduced his expressiveness.

Zhang Guorong and Wang Fei are a good match. Their voices match well and they sing well, but the song itself is average, so they ranked second.

As for Teresa Tang and Ren Xianqi, they sang classic songs, and Teresa Tang added a lot of points to Ren Xianqi, helping him win first place.

It’s fine for others, but Yang Ye, as a mentor, is holding his students back…

It was a bit embarrassing and a bit funny, and I was teased by fans for a long time.

……

In the middle of the show, several previously eliminated contestants came on stage to sing.

Then, the second round of singing began.

This round is a solo performance. According to the ranking of the first round, Ren Xianqi will sing first.

In order to create something new, the four students did not sing covers in this round of singing, but sang new songs instead.

As for new songs, they are tailor-made for students by their instructors.

Yang Ye, Zhang Guorong and Lin Zixiang are all masters of composing music, and each of them gave a song to the students.

Deng Lijun has no ability to compose music, but she has a husband, so she doesn't have to say anything. Yang Ye took the initiative to write a song for Ren Xianqi.

In fact, Ren Xianqi has strong creative ability. He has written many beautiful songs by himself, such as "Flowers Will Bloom in Spring", "Waves", "A Beautiful Night with Full Moon and Flowers", etc.

Ren Xianqi changed into a new outfit, with long hair and ripped jeans, transformed into a rock boy, jumped onto the stage with a guitar, and started singing;
“Is leaving really cruel, or is being gentle shameful, or is it that lonely people don’t care, day or night, unconditionally.

Is there really danger ahead? Or is betrayal the most considerate? Or is escape easier? Rumors are like the wind blowing sand! "

Miyuki Nakajima was a little hurt. Since many Chinese singers covered her songs, Yang Ye copied all these songs and turned them into original Chinese works.

But because of this, Miyuki Nakajima also lost many classic works.

Poor Aunt Xue!

"One wave hasn't subsided yet, another wave comes to attack, the vast sea of ​​people is raging with storms. One wave has not come yet, another wave has already passed, a lifetime is like waking up from a dream. Deep in the Pacific Ocean, I am deeply sad!"

This song by Miyuki Nakajima was originally a sad enka song, but after being adapted, it became a rock song that is more suitable for Ren Xianqi.

The content of the lyrics describes the wandering life of the people of the world.

Ren Xianqi in the original time and space made his debut in 1990, but was never popular. At the end of every year, Rolling Stone held a meeting and considered terminating the contract with Ren Xianqi and laying him off.

It was not until 1996 that he became famous thanks to the song "Heart Too Soft" written for him by Xiao Chong.

Later, with "Pacific Rim", he got rid of the embarrassing situation of his song being more popular than himself and entered the ranks of superstars.

"Sad Pacific" is also the last album in the record era to sell over a million copies in Taiwan.

After that, no matter how good the Zhou Wang Tao Lin was, it could not be sold for more than one million due to the limitations of the times.

Yang Ye performed the song "Sad Pacific" in the final of The Voice of China, which was equivalent to directly giving Ren Xian a royal flush.

Ren Xianqi was singing passionately on the stage. In the mentor seat, Deng Lijun said to Yang Ye with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of losing at all?"

Although Deng Lijun does not write songs herself, she has a very strong ability to appreciate music.

When Yang Ye took out this song and Ren Xianqi sang it once, Deng Lijun laughed and said that she heard the sound of money.

It would be strange if a song with such a beautiful melody and catchy lyrics didn’t become popular.

Yang Ye said as a matter of course: "What's the big deal? Our relationship is stronger than gold. Your students are my students. How can I keep it to myself?"

Deng Lijun said without hesitation: "Compared to what?"

"Hey, this is a race, don't drive recklessly!" Yang Ye was really convinced.

"I just didn't hear who was driving." Deng Lijun argued.

"Okay, it's all my fault. I was the one who spoke unclearly, okay?"

"That's more like it. So, what song did you write for Huilun?"

"You'll know when you listen to it later. Can you keep it a little mysterious?"

"All right!"

"One wave hasn't subsided yet, another wave comes to attack. One wave hasn't come to an end, another wave has already passed. Deep in the Pacific Ocean, I am deeply sad! Deep in the Pacific Ocean, I am deeply sad!"

After Ren Xianqi finished singing the song, the audience was treated to a feast for the ears and the judges also gave it high praise.

……

When it was Wang Fei's turn to perform, Zhang Guorong wrote a song called "If You Know My Hardships".

Zhang Guorong has not composed many songs, only twenty or thirty, but they are all excellent.

Zhang Guorong was not a professional musician, did not know musical notation, and did not know how to arrange instruments.

So how does he compose music? According to him, he hums it while taking a shit.

"When I write songs, I actually sit in the toilet, squatting there, thinking! Ha, I hum...

Because I have a good memory and I have good ears.

So after I hummed, I called someone, such as Zhao Zengxi.

Ah Xi, I wrote a song, please listen to it. I just hummed and he wrote it.

Zhao Zengxi recorded it in music score and asked me, is that right?

I said, yes! Then can you please ask my old friend, Lin Xi, to write the lyrics for it.”

Just like that, Zhang Guorong finished writing a song.

Damn, this can only be described as genius.

"If You Knew My Hardships" was originally written for Zhou Huimin, and it was very nice. But now it has been transferred to Wang Fei by accident.

But now Zhou Huimin has Yang Ye's support, so one less song won't affect anything.

Zhou Huimin could barely be considered a first-line singer during the golden age of Hong Kong music, but that was mainly because of her good looks. After all, she was the woman that three generations of people wanted to marry.

When it comes to singing skills, it’s just so-so.

Zhou Huimin mainly relies on a large number of effects when recording songs, and her live performances are often like car accident scenes.

He is a true idol.

There were also car accidents during Wang Fei’s performances, but that was because he didn’t practice his voice in the later stages and it was wasted.

In the early days, Wang Fei was at the top of the Chinese music scene in terms of voice, singing skills, stage presence, composition, image, and sales.

He is a serious and powerful person, a true hexagonal warrior.

After Teresa Teresa, Wang Fei is one of the few Chinese singers who can perform at the Tokyo Budokan and have the hall filled up in minutes.

Wang Fei doesn't speak Japanese, so he always sings Chinese songs at his concerts at the Budokan.

Even so, the Japanese media still touted her as the number one singer in Asia.

Wang Fei's voice is ethereal, beautiful, and penetrating, making people forget the world.

She appeared in the program "The Voice of China" and truly interpreted what "The Voice of China" means.

"If you knew my difficulties, why aren't you touched? Who would have thought that looking at you like this, I wouldn't see any recognition. You know my difficulties, but you still let me have a good dream. It's rare to have a friend like you. I am very intoxicated but painful!"

A good song goes with a good voice, and the audience applauded enthusiastically after listening to it.

……

The song that George Lam wrote for Gu Juji was "The Piano in the Old House".

This is a little-known classic, but it is considered by many of George Lam's fans to be his best song.

The arrangement of this song is extremely simple, with only three instruments from beginning to end: maracas, piano, and drums.

Of these three instruments, two are atonal, and the entire song relies only on piano and vocals to express a feeling of helplessness and regret.

Gu Juji's voice is very suitable for this song and he interprets it well. It's a pity that he is still a little young and doesn't understand the deeper meaning of the song, so it always lacks something.

……

Su Huilun, who came last in the first round, went on stage again, and Yang Ye chose a song "Fairy Tale Town" for her.

There are countless versions of the song "Fairy Tale Town" on the Internet, but the best one is sung by Chen Yifa.

However, this woman was banned after someone dug up inappropriate remarks she made during a previous live broadcast, and her songs were also taken off the shelves.

Don’t worry about what the person does. It’s a pity that we can’t listen to such a beautiful song.

Yang Ye thought that Elva Hsiao’s voice was very warm and pleasant, and her appearance was pure and sweet, so he dug out this song and gave it to her.

At least she is the original singer, so the song won't be taken off the shelves in the future.

Su Huilun wore a white dress and held a transparent umbrella. She stood on the stage and sang quietly:

“I heard that Snow White is running away, Little Red Riding Hood is worried about the Big Bad Wolf, I heard that the Mad Hatter likes Alice, and the ugly duckling will become a white swan.

I heard that Peter Pan never grows up, Jack has a harp and magic, there is a candy house in the forest, and Cinderella lost her beloved glass shoes..."

Deng Lijun listened for a while and asked Yang Ye: "How did you write such a song?"

"Does it sound good?"

"It sounds nice, but it's so girly!"

Deng Lijun wanted to say, this is not your style. But then she changed her mind and realized that Yang Ye himself did not have any style. He wrote whatever type of songs he wrote.

"Hui Lun is a little girl. Don't you think she is very suitable to sing this song?"

"That's true!"

Deng Lijun stopped interrupting and listened quietly. She seemed to have returned to her childhood and was immersed in those fairy tales.

“There is always a colorful river winding through the fairytale town, stained with the perverse breath of magic but winding in love. The endless flow raises the splash of water, and draws a curtain of time into the water, making all the moments long, long ago come to a happy ending…”

……

“Damn, we’re at the bottom again!” Yang Ye complained.

The voting results are out. After ranking fourth in two rounds, Elva Hsiao was eliminated.

Elva Hsiao was a little sad: "Teacher, I embarrassed you!"

Yang Ye never thought that Elva Hsiao would win. Her ability was not as good as the other three, especially since the judges who voted this time were all professional.

Moreover, Yang Ye himself did not care about the ranking. If he wanted to, it would be very easy to get an internal appointment through secret manipulation.

Fourth is fourth, Yang Ye comforted him casually: "It doesn't matter, I said before, the result of a game can't mean anything. Our teacher-student relationship will not end after tonight, there are still many days to come!"

Elva Hsiao was very touched and nodded heavily; "Yes!"

“You’ll be busy later. We’re going to Taipei for a concert next week, followed by Singapore, Kuala Lumpur… Fans all over Asia are waiting to see you.

You should practice the two songs "Lemon Tree" and "Fairy Tale Town" well, and after the concert, you should record the album, and then you will officially debut!"

……

Elva Hsiao came in fourth and Leo Ku came in third, both were eliminated.

Wang Fei and Ren Xianqi, two future legendary singers of Chinese pop music, started the final showdown.

Ren Xianqi chose Zhang Guorong's "monica", a hit song that established Zhang Guorong's status as a superstar in the music industry.

Ren Xianqi sang and danced on the stage very hard. Zhang Guorong, who was in the mentor seat, was so excited that she wanted to jump onto the stage and sing with Ren Xianqi.

When it was Wang Fei's turn, she chose Teresa Tang's "Wishing We Would Live Long". This song is ethereal and beautiful, which perfectly brings out Wang Fei's voice.

After the two sang, the instructor gave comments, and Yang Ye complained: "Xiao Qi is a student of teacher Deng Lijun, but he chose teacher Zhang Guorong's song.

Ah Fei is a student of Zhang Guorong, but she chose Deng Lijun's song. Did you follow the wrong instructor? "

Both of them gave great performances, and then it was time to vote to decide who wins or loses.

After the notary came up, five hundred professional judges began to vote.

Commercials began to play crazily on TV.

This is the most prime booth tonight, with at least tens of millions of people across Asia watching.

One second of advertising costs 1500 US dollars. With a full five minutes of advertising time, Star TV earned million US dollars.

Finally, the final voting results came out.

Deborah announced: "Wang Fei, 252 votes, Ren Xianqi 248 votes! Congratulations to Wang Fei for winning the first annual champion of "The Voice of China"!"

Zhang Guorong suddenly jumped up from the instructor's chair and ran to the stage! (End of this chapter)
