They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 287 Crush
The name of the song appeared on the big screen at the scene and on the subtitles on TV: "Onion"!
"Onion? What a weird song title. It doesn't tell what kind of song it is."

"I've heard songs named after fruits before, like Richie Jen's "Orange Perfume," but songs named after vegetables are rare."

"There are so many vegetables to choose from, but you chose onion. Calling it tomato and cucumber is not good! The name onion sounds a bit offensive to the eyes."

Although the audience felt that the song title sounded a bit strange, they still showed expectant expressions, and the three judges looked like they were listening carefully.

After all, Zhang Wei has already performed two original songs in today's competition, and the quality of the songs is first-rate. Today's song "Onion", as Zhang Wei's finale song, may be better than the previous two.

As the piano prelude sounded, the audience fell silent and everyone began to listen to Zhang Wei's song "Onion".

"If your eyes could come to me for a moment, if you could hear the sound of a broken heart, I would silently guard you, silently wait for miracles, silently let myself be like air..."

When Zhang Wei opened his mouth, the melody was not very gentle, but the lyrics were a blast!
The lyrics of the song "Onion" are really heartbreaking. To put it nicely, it cleverly depicts the complex emotions when facing love. To put it bluntly, it is about a poor dog hiding in a corner waiting for the favor of the goddess.

Like "silently letting myself be like air", "secretly watching you, secretly hiding myself", isn't this just a bootlicker who dares not confess his feelings!
But it is precisely this correct attitude of bootlicking that easily resonates with the audience.

After all, most people in this world are ordinary people, with ordinary looks, ordinary abilities, and ordinary families. When we meet a handsome man or a beautiful woman, or a tall, rich, handsome, white, rich and beautiful man, we ordinary people will naturally become lickers.

Just like the song goes, no matter how sociable you smile, you are just an onion on the plate, a condiment. You can only wait silently for the favor of the god or goddess, and regard it as a miracle. But when the god or goddess in your mind really comes to you, you will be eager to perform heart surgery on yourself, peeling off your heart layer by layer.

As Zhang Wei sang the lyrics, the audience gradually immersed themselves in the scene of the song, as if they were the onion waiting to be peeled off layer by layer.

Finally, Zhang Wei sang the climax of the song: "If you are willing to peel off my heart layer by layer..."

This line of lyrics, with its gradually unfolding melody, instantly moved all the listeners.

This word does not mention affection or love, but it makes people feel extremely heartbroken. It is such a deep feeling to peel off the heart layer by layer, just like a sharp blade, cutting deeply into the emotions. The deep affection and helplessness contained in it seem to make people see the struggle and hear the sound of heartbreak.

"If you are willing to peel off my heart layer by layer, you will feel sad and shed tears, as long as you can hear me and see my whole heart."

When Zhang Wei finished singing this line, everyone understood the meaning of the song title "Onion".

Onion, the most common vegetable in daily life, can be easily found in the vegetable market even in the cold north in winter. But now it cleverly depicts a kind of love.

An onion needs to be peeled off layer by layer to see what's inside. Such a vivid metaphor is rare in pop songs.

Such language is concise and clear, without too many fancy words or affectionate exquisite embellishments, but it is like a carefully carved gem, dazzling.

The lyrics' progressive progression, from silent concern to inner struggle and desire, and then to peeling off my heart layer by layer, interprets the transition from silence to desperate confession. This kind of emotional progression and turning point can easily touch people's hearts.

Music without emotion is not good music, and a singer who cannot inject emotion into singing is not a good singer.

At this time, Zhang Wei gradually injected his emotions into the song. As a result, the audience's emotions were also attracted by the song.

At the beginning, many audience members frowned slightly, their mouths drooped slightly, revealing a touch of sadness and contemplation, which was an expression of being touched by the gentle and slightly sad emotions in the song.

However, when the song reached its climax, the line "peeling off my heart layer by layer" directly touched the softest corner of the audience's hearts. Many people found it difficult to suppress their emotions. They were completely moved by the song, and tears began to well up in their eyes.

And those who used to be bootlickers, or are currently bootlickers, have had their softness and fragility hidden deep in their hearts awakened by this song.

If you think about it carefully, isn’t this song exactly expressing your own feelings?

This is a 120 percent resonance!

Especially those who are fans of TV have a feeling of finding a soulmate.

I have been in love with my goddess for so many years. Who can understand my inner struggle? Who can understand my feelings that are hard to let go?

This song can do it! This singer can understand me!

It's hard to find a soulmate, so what are you waiting for? Take out your phone and vote!

In fact, even if you have no resonance with it at all, it is worth voting for it just because it is a good song.

Although it costs one dollar to cast a vote, young men and women who love music are willing to pay for it.

As a result, Zhang Wei's votes began to soar rapidly, and before he finished singing a song, he had reached more than 30,000 votes.

……

Some of the thirteen-member expert jury were already looking a little embarrassed.

Just now, they voted for Wang Bo against their conscience, but they didn't expect that Zhang Wei came up with an even better song.

This is like asking, are you so-called expert judges deaf? Do you understand music at all?

The better Zhang Wei performed, the more he was slapping the faces of those expert judges.

The one with the ugliest expression was the manager of the entertainment company.

When Zhang Wei finished singing the first climax, he realized that Wang Bo was about to lose to Zhang Wei.

The song "Starry Sky" sung by Wang Bo is certainly a good song, and it also has the bonus of Jay Chou's fans. But compared with this song "Onion", "Starry Sky" does not seem to have any advantages.

The quality of this song "Onion" is not inferior to "Starry Sky", and "Starry Sky" just has Jay Chou in it. If "Onion" was also a song by Jay Chou, it might get more praise than "Starry Sky".

But this is an amateur talent show after all, and Jay Chou is not here. Even if you sing Jay Chou's songs, the bonus of Jay Chou's fans will not play a big role in front of a top original song.

"Where on earth did this Zhang Wei come from? How could he write such a good and heartbreaking song? This guy shouldn't come to "Happy Boys" to bully amateur singers, but should go to the Golden Melody Awards to compete with Jay Chou and JJ Lin!"

The manager cursed inwardly. As an executive of an entertainment company, he certainly knew that this kind of heart-wrenching song could easily resonate with the audience and quickly gain fans.

However, he did not intend to give up. Although "Onion" is a top-notch song, a good song does not mean a good singing. If there is a problem with Zhang Wei's singing, perhaps Wang Bo still has a chance to turn defeat into victory.

However, the manager soon discovered that there was absolutely no problem with Zhang Wei's singing skills. In fact, the sound and rhythm processing in many places were just right. Not only was there nothing wrong with him, but there was no way to make better improvements.

But in terms of singing skills, Zhang Wei crushed Wang Bo.

The song is good and the singing is great, how can you compare!
……

The melody and rhythm of the song "Onion" are not particularly complicated. The author of this song is Ashin from Mayday. Everyone knows Mayday's songs, so they are not difficult to sing.

But it is not easy to sing this song well, because it requires good emotional expression and voice control.

The first is emotional expression. As a heart-wrenching song, it must have very delicate and deep emotional investment. If there is no emotional investment when singing, then the entanglement and struggle of "peeling off my heart layer by layer" cannot be sung out, and there will not be the kind of deep affection and sincerity that can penetrate the soul.

The second point is voice control. Singing this song requires good voice control ability and skills, and requires the kind of progressive timbre changes and strong and weak processing. Without certain singing skills, you can sing it smoothly, but you will definitely not sing it well. The original singer of the song, Yang Zongwei, handled these two points very well.

Although Yang Zongwei was a product of a talent show, his voice is the type that is extremely emotionally rich, with a sense of vicissitudes, yet magnetic, low yet extremely penetrating, and very recognizable.

So if you want to sing this song well, you don’t need to have a special understanding of it, nor do you need to practice too much. Just listen to Yang Zongwei’s original song several times and imitate it directly.

This is the case with Zhang Wei. His singing is a straightforward and comprehensive imitation of Yang Zongwei, from the singing method, to the vocal processing, to the rhythm, all of which are based on Yang Zongwei's original singing.

If you have a perfect answer sheet, you would be a fool if you don't copy it. Even if you can only copy and get 80 points, it is better than answering the questions randomly and getting 60 points.

……

After the song was finished, there was continuous cheering from the audience. Many people were crying and shouting at the top of their lungs, as if they were expressing their suppressed emotions.

There are still many people who lick dogs, but too few people who understand how to lick dogs!
At this moment, the busiest person is the director backstage.

"And the camera number four!"

In the camera of No. 4, a young girl was holding a sign in support of Wang Bo, but she was shouting for Zhang Wei with tears in her eyes.

"Camera No. 5!"

In the camera shot of Unit 5, two audience members with red eyes were crying and covering their mouths with tissues, trying hard to suppress their excitement.

"Unit 3, close-up of the judges!"

In the shot of Unit 3, all three judges stood up from their seats. One of them kept yelling at Zhang Wei, another raised his hands above his head and also shouted, while the last one stretched out his arms forward, with his thumbs, index fingers and little fingers extended, making an internationally used "love sign".

As for the audience in front of the TV, they are probably voting by sending text messages on their mobile phones now!

Seeing such an intense reaction at the scene, Zhang Wei was also infected. Even though these were all expected, he felt a little excited.

After all, this is "Onion", a song that can be considered a divine song.

However, judging from the awards this song has won and its popularity among the people, "Onion" is absolutely phenomenal.

Around 2010, this song was almost a must-order song for young men when they went to KTV to sing.

Moreover, this song has topped various hit lists for many years, which is a rare thing. You know, there are new songs every day, a few good songs every month, and a few good songs every year, and even some hits. With such fierce competition, it is more difficult to stay on the list for a long time than to rush to the top.

Many good songs may seem amazing when you first listen to them, but after listening to them many times, you will become aesthetically fatigued. Such songs can quickly reach the top of the charts, but they may not stay on the charts for a long time.

And some songs are really something you never get tired of listening to. After listening to them once, you will want to listen to them again, even if you listen to them ten times. You will not get tired of listening to them again tomorrow. Even if you have memorized them by heart, you will still enjoy listening to them again after a few months. They can still evoke your inner memories and resonate with you.

Songs like this are the kind that can stay on the charts for a long time.

“Onion” is one such song.

This kind of song that can dominate the charts for a long time must be liked by most fans, not controversial, and suitable for most people's tastes. Even if some people don't like this song, they won't find fault with it.

Therefore, this type of song is very suitable for attracting SMS votes.

Even if the opponent sang "Starry Sky", what would it matter? The bonus of Jay Chou's famous song was really dispensable in front of such a top song.

The two final PK contestants had both finished singing. At this time, Zhang Wei and Wang Bo both stood in the center of the stage.

After a few routine and sensational lines, the counting of SMS votes was terminated, and the next step was to count the votes.

"Let's look at the single digit first. Wang Bo's single digit is 9, and Zhang Wei's single digit is 7!"

As the host's voice fell, the first number appeared on the big screen behind the two people.

With tens of thousands of people voting, a single digit number is meaningless, so Zhang Wei had a blank expression on his face and didn't take it to heart.

"Look at the tens digit again. Wang Bo's tens digit is 4, and Zhang Wei's tens digit is 6!"

"Hundreds digit, Wang Bo's hundreds digit is 5, and Zhang Wei's hundreds digit is 7!"

On the big screen, the number below Wang Bo is 549, and the number below Zhang Wei is 767
Zhang Wei looked back at the big screen and sighed, thinking that it couldn't be more efficient and report it all at once. Single-digit numbers had to pop out from between his teeth, and numbers within hundreds would not affect the final good result at all.

"Next is the crucial thousands digit!" The host deliberately dragged out the tone, and then said: "Wang Bo's thousands digit is 0, and Zhang Wei's thousands digit is 9!"

"Next is the ten thousandth digit, Wang Bo's ten thousandth digit is 5!"

On the big screen, the number below Wang Bo changed to 50549, which was the final number of votes Wang Bo received.

"Next, let's reveal Zhang Wei's vote count! Zhang Wei's thousandth digit is 4!"

The number under Zhang Wei's name became 49767.

"What's going on? Eight hundred votes less than Wang Bo?" Zhang Wei was shocked.

"How could the song 'Onion' not be better than Wang Bo's mediocre 'Starry Sky'? It seems that this shady deal was indeed created by the production team!"

A trace of anger filled Zhang Wei's heart.

The audience at the scene was also in an uproar, with all of them looking incredulous.

The camera turned to the three judges, who were also surprised. They looked at each other in confusion, as if asking each other why this happened! How could Zhang Wei lose with such a good song? Are the audience in front of the TV deaf? Can't they hear what a good song is!
Only the manager on the 13-member expert jury applauded excitedly.

Wang Bo actually won!

Zhang Wei’s song “Onion” can be called a divine song. Even under such circumstances, Wang Bo actually won!

What a lucky guy!
However, the manager was only happy for three seconds before the host picked up the microphone again: "Next, let's reveal the last digit!"

"What? There's one last digit?"

This sudden change caused the expressions of everyone present to change again.

At the same time, on the big screen, there was suddenly an extra 49767 in front of the number 1 below Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei's final number of votes was 149767!

With 100,000 more votes than his opponent, he was completely crushed!
