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

Chapter 310 Where is the tear point?
"Why did the singing make him cry again!" The planner looked at the camera, bewildered.

This is not the first time that the judges have been moved to tears by the song. Previously, Mr. Wang Feng was also moved to tears by the song.

But I definitely never cried to this extent!

Teacher Qi Qin cried so hard!
"No, is this song so touching? Is it necessary to cry like this?" the planner said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know. We don't understand Minnan dialect!" someone nearby answered, and the others nodded.

"Okay, it's no use asking." The planner pouted.

The director came over quietly and whispered, "Look, Teacher Qi Qin is crying like that. I guess when the vote comes later, Zhang Wei will definitely advance!"

The director's words reminded the planner, and his heart tightened, with beads of sweat the size of beans appearing on his forehead.

This plan took so much effort, and the purpose was to eliminate Zhang Wei. But after Qi Qin cried like that, how could Zhang Wei be eliminated!
"Can't this deal with him?" A feeling of powerlessness rose in the heart of the program planner. He deeply realized that in the face of absolute strength, conspiracies and tricks are of no use at all.

You think that Zhang Wei, a northerner, must not be able to speak Cantonese well, so why not set up a rule and have a competition in singing Cantonese songs? This will definitely poke at your weaknesses!

What? You speak Cantonese fluently? Well, let's change the rules and let you sing a song in Taiwanese. You will definitely be dead this time, right?
It turns out that singing Minnan songs is better than singing Cantonese songs. When singing Cantonese songs, everyone just clapped and praised them, but singing Minnan songs made a judge cry, and that judge was the most famous one.

If anybody was moved to tears by the song, it would be fine, but if the person being moved is a superstar of the Chinese pop music scene, the effect would be different.

It’s easy to guess that tomorrow’s entertainment news will definitely include news about King Qi being moved to tears by music.

This is definitely good for the ratings of the show, but it is more beneficial to Zhang Wei. The original singer made the king of pop cry, which is definitely a great success!
Apart from anything else, in the text message voting that will take place later, at least 300,000 viewers will pay for King Qi Tian's tears.

Just when the planner was dumbfounded and his mood hit rock bottom, the other three judges in the judging panel stared at Qi Qin in surprise.

We’ve all seen people crying, but we’ve never seen anyone cry like this!

She was crying so heartbroken that everyone was confused.

"The melody of this song is pretty good, and it feels like a rich love song when it's sung, but is it necessary to cry like this?"

"Is this song so touching? Why didn't I feel that way? But when King Qi Tian cried, it was a genuine expression of emotion, it didn't seem like he was pretending!"

"Although the song is nice, I can't quite understand why it makes me cry! Is this how the king of pop understands music? He is indeed the king of music. His understanding of music is far better than mine!"

Several judges obviously could not imagine that King Qi Tian cried so hard because he owed his former lover. Although he was full of regret now, he could no longer turn back.

Emotions are the most likely to inspire people to tears, especially love. Let alone romantic movies, even many soap operas can make people cry.

For example, in the TV series "Meteor Garden" back then, Shancai got caught in the rain outside Daomingsi's mansion, which brought tears to the eyes of many young boys and girls.

Now it seems like just getting drenched in the rain in the middle of summer, no big deal, who hasn’t been a drowned rat in their life?
Even movies and TV shows can easily move people to tears, let alone personal experiences.

If it weren't for emotional factors, King Qi Tian would not have cried so bitterly.

But the others didn't know this. They were not the worms in King Qi's stomach, so they instinctively thought that Zhang Wei's song "The Prodigal Son Returns" was so good that it completely moved the music king.

The quality of the song "The Prodigal Son Returns" is indeed very good. It is worth mentioning that this is a song created in 2013, but it did not become popular until 2018.

There are two reasons. First, the original singer of this song, the Eggplant Egg band, is not very famous. After forming the group in 2012, they did not release their first album until 2107, and then included this song "Prodigal Son Returns".

The second reason is that Minnan songs are too niche and are not the mainstream of Chinese music. They can only be used to entertain themselves on an island. If they rely on normal record sales, Minnan songs will never go viral.

After all, even Jay Chou can’t make a popular Hokkien song.

In Jay Chou's album "Octave Space", almost every song is a classic, and every song can be used as a hit song. But there is only one song that is not good, and that is "Train to Go".

The young people born in the 00s probably don’t know that Jay Chou has this song, and even if those born in the 80s and 90s know this song, they probably don’t have much impression of it.

Because this is a Hokkien song, and it is also Jay Chou's only song sung entirely in Hokkien.

You have to know that it was 2003, Jay Chou was already more than just "popular". That year, Jay Chou was on the cover of Time magazine, and his song "In the Name of the Father" was played simultaneously on 50 radio stations in Asia, with million people listening to it. At that time, college students would be embarrassed to attend classmate gatherings if they didn't have a few Jay Chou albums.

At that time, even if Jay Chou learned a few dog barks and recorded them into a record and released it, there would be a lot of fans who would pay for it.

But even if Jay Chou at that time put a Hokkien song in his best album, it still didn't make much waves.

How many people born in the 80s would press fast forward to skip to the song "The Train Is Going" when listening to the album "Octave Space" on tape?

In the era of selling songs by cassettes and CDs, niche songs like Minnan songs simply could not go viral. No matter how good the song was, if the record could not be sold, no one would be interested. Over time, no popular singers would touch this genre.

Fortunately, the song "Prodigal Son Returns" encountered the Internet era. After being covered by several Internet celebrities, it quickly spread on the Internet and quickly entered the public eye, becoming the only Minnan dialect golden song that has become popular in the mainland in the past two decades.

If it were still the era of traditional records, perhaps this song would have been forgotten and would never have made a comeback.

So when Zhang Wei drew the Minnan song, the first song he thought of was "The Prodigal Son Returns".

The quality of this song is good enough, and the key is that there is no better choice. There have been no good songs in Minnan dialect in the past twenty years.

But Zhang Wei himself did not expect that the effect of this song would be so good. After listening to it, King Qi Tian burst into tears.

Who could have thought that this song would evoke King Qi's guilt towards his former lover. He put himself into the role of a playboy, and was inexplicably moved by himself. Who could stop him!

Looking at Qi Tianwang who was crying, Zhang Wei was also confused, and then he cast a worried look: "Damn, this song is pretty good, but is it really so touching? Why are you crying like this? Don't cry too much and get sick, or I won't be able to explain myself!"

Fortunately, Zhang Wei's worries did not last long, and he entered the judges' commentary session.

The other three judges looked at Qi Tianwang. Here, he was the most qualified to comment on a Minnan song.

The staff handed Qi Tianwang a tissue. Qi Tianwang wiped his tears and said in a sobbing voice: "I'm sorry, I just... this song... I... really... I... wuwuwu..."

Another one couldn't hold back and started crying!
However, the next second, the audience gave the warmest applause.

The judges expressed such sincerity when commenting, so we have to give them a round of applause!

"What's going on! You're just clapping blindly! He didn't say anything at all! It's just pure self-admiration!" The program planner backstage couldn't help but complain.

But crying like this doesn't seem like acting!

The microphone was handed to another judge, who didn't know what to say.

I was originally thinking about adding a few words to whatever the King of Heaven Qi said, but he ended up just crying. Otherwise, should I shed a few tears along with him?
But where is the tear point? I don't feel like crying at all!

There is no other way, let me just praise you first!
The judge praised the product for a lot of reasons, and the next judge followed suit.

The next step is to announce the SMS voting session.

"Zhang Wei, 83 votes!" The host's tone was full of surprise as he read out the number.

This is a record-breaking number of votes, and behind this record-breaking number is a record-breaking viewership rate.

It is obvious that the ratings skyrocketed after the king cried!
……

In the conference room, it is time to review to the leader again.

However, this time, the leader was not angry, because he had watched the previous game in person.

After watching Zhang Wei's performance throughout the game, he finally understood that it was not because his subordinates were not strong enough, but because Zhang Wei was too strong.

For a northerner to be able to write such a good Hokkien song is simply like a BUG!
It would be fine if you found the bug yourself, but the guest also found the bug. Such a big music star, he cried like that.

This guest was invited by the program team. Is it appropriate for him to find a bug with you? By the way, what kind of guests did my program team invite? Why are their tear points so low?

Last time we invited teacher Wang Feng, who moved people to tears during his performance. This time we invited superstar Qi Qin, who moved people to tears again during his performance!
They cry so easily, do these guests have any psychological problems? How about we do a psychological test next time we invite guests, and try to invite strong and unyielding ones?
Yongzheng directly called the expert: Father Emperor, choose me, choose me!

At this time, the subordinate next to him noticed that the leader's expression was not very serious, and felt that the leader might be in a good mood, so he said:
"In fact, our plan this time was half successful. For example, during the duet, Zhang Wei's partner Liu Bo'er suddenly forgot the lyrics, which successfully prevented Zhang Wei from advancing directly. Otherwise, with the quality of Zhang Wei's song, he might have advanced directly to the top five in the country at that stage."

Another person also spoke up: "The final lottery session was also quite successful, but Zhang Wei actually knew how to speak Minnan dialect, which was beyond all of our expectations."

After a few people summarized the situation, the general conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with the dirty trick we used, it was just that Zhang Wei could not be killed because he dodged too many peaches.

The leader nodded slightly, then glanced across the conference room and continued, "We are now the top five in the country, with four games left. My bottom line is that Zhang Wei must not advance to the top three! You must come up with a plan as soon as possible to get rid of Zhang Wei!"

"Actually, I do have an immature plan. However, this plan cannot be completed by the program team alone. It requires the cooperation of multiple departments." This time it was the program's music director Hu Li who spoke.

"Director Hu, if you have any ideas, please tell me as soon as possible."

"I studied music. From a musical perspective, Zhang Wei's greatest advantage is his originality. For every competition, no matter what theme we set, he can always come up with first-class original songs. In this respect, he is indeed a musical genius.

But in terms of singing, his singing skills are just average, without any outstanding singing skills, and his voice is not very unique. As a singer, he is at a qualified level, but not excellent. This is his shortcoming.

The other four contestants are better than Zhang Wei in singing. In terms of singing skills, they are slightly better than Zhang Wei. The most important thing is the voice. The voices of the other four contestants have their own characteristics and they are all very excellent.

We can start from this aspect, using the media discourse we have, to attack Zhang Wei's poor singing skills, and compare Zhang Wei's voice with the other four contestants. As long as we leave the audience with the impression that Zhang Wei has no singing skills, even if he writes good songs, there is a chance to eliminate him. "

"What a good idea! It's equivalent to playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses! Director Hu, you should have told me about this good idea earlier." Someone nearby said.

Hu Li explained: "This method couldn't be used before because the other contestants' vocal talents were also average. But it's different at this stage. Except for Zhang Wei, the other four are all very talented in vocals and their singing skills are also outstanding."

"Director Hu has a good idea. How about this, Director Hu, you write a plan and send it to me, and then each department will divide up responsibilities, cooperate with each other, share resources, and act together." The leading man said.

The program planner then said, "Boss, there is one more thing. According to the plan we made before, we will invite Super Girls from previous sessions to sing with the contestants in the next competition. I think we can modify the plan and invite famous female singers to sing with the contestants. This will definitely help the ratings."

"Describe your plan in detail."

"According to the original plan, our next guest is Landy Wen, and the one after that is SHE. I want to invite them all, so there will be four guests, and then we will invite a Hong Kong guest who doesn't speak Mandarin very well, to make up five people. Then let this guest who doesn't speak Mandarin very well partner with Zhang Wei.

In this way, if Zhang Wei sings a Mandarin song, his partner is not proficient in Mandarin, which will definitely cause problems; and if Zhang Wei sings a Cantonese song, and the other groups of contestants all sing Mandarin songs, then Zhang Wei's group will also lose points. "The planner explained.

The leader nodded and said, "This plan is feasible. After all, our program is aimed at mainland audiences, and the audience for Mandarin songs is still larger."

……

"In today's era of musical talent and fierce competition, every singer who steps on stage carries countless expectations. Today, I want to talk to you about Zhang Wei, a contestant of "Happy Boys".

It is undeniable that Zhang Wei is a talented musician. In every week's "Hurry Up Boys" competition, he can bring us two or three beautiful original songs, but in terms of singing skills, Zhang Wei still has a lot of room for improvement.

From a technical perspective, his pitch control, breath management, and vocal expressiveness are indeed slightly inferior to those of some experienced or talented singers.

When singing high notes, Zhang Wei occasionally seemed to be unable to do so, and the bass part lacked sufficient stability and depth..."

This report appeared as the first item in the entertainment section of the homepage of a portal website. Although it was not a front-page column, it could be seen by scrolling down the page, so it was in a prominent position.

"Who is this? Is he trying to ride on my popularity?" Zhang Wei subconsciously searched the name of the author of the article and found out that he was a relatively famous arranger.

"I don't know this person, and I probably haven't offended him, so why are you saying bad things about me? Is it to gain attention, or do you have some other purpose?"

Zhang Wei lowered his head and thought for a moment, then opened the search engine and searched for the keywords "soon-coming boy Zhang Wei".

Sure enough, several new links appeared on the webpage, all of which were released in the past two days. Looking at the titles, either they said that Zhang Wei's singing skills were average or that Zhang Wei's voice was mediocre.

Click on any article:
“Zhang Wei’s exploration and attempts in the field of music deserve recognition, but if analyzed from the perspective of professional singing skills, his performance still has a lot of room for improvement.

Specifically, Zhang Wei still has slight deviations in his grasp of pitch, especially in the handling of complex melodies and high-pitched areas, and occasional instability occurs, which affects the overall harmony.

The bass area is slightly weak, lacking the necessary thickness and resonance, and failing to fully demonstrate the layering of the sound.

More importantly, Zhang Wei's voice is relatively ordinary and lacks unique recognition and appeal. In the music market, a voice with distinctive personal characteristics is often the key for a singer to stand out.

However, Zhang Wei's current voice has not been able to fully demonstrate his unique musical charm, making it difficult for him to stand out among many contestants."

There are many similar comments, but the content is roughly the same. The writers are all professional musicians. They all seem to be making professional analysis, but in fact they are all questioning Zhang Wei's singing skills and voice.

After reading several commentary articles, Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, because what they said was all right.

Zhang Wei's singing skills are just at the level of an ordinary singer. Although it is far better than the KTV level, it can only be considered mediocre among many professional singers.

As for the tone, it is even more ordinary, completely without any characteristics and no recognition, just the same.

With this level, they could still cope with the previous competitions, but now that they have advanced to the top five in the country, they are at a disadvantage.

Except for Zhang Wei, the singing skills of the remaining four people are above average. The key is that they all have musical talent and are the type that are blessed by God. Zhang Wei really can't compare with this.

Zhang Wei also admitted that he was not as good as the other four in singing skills or voice. But at this point in the competition, so many such articles suddenly appeared in the media, which is intriguing.

Five competitions have been held since the national top 13. It has been a long time since Zhang Wei's singing skills have been mediocre and his voice is average. Everything has been peaceful before, but why did someone jump out to make a fuss at this time?
It would be fine if there were only two or three music critics criticizing the singing skills, but so many people suddenly appeared overnight. There must be something wrong!

Zhang Wei could already guess that this was most likely another shady trick used by the program crew.

Since I can't beat you in the game, I will find fault with you outside the game and trip you up. This tactic is very familiar to Americans.

"If this is really a shady trick by the production team, then in the next competition, maybe they will bring up my singing skills. I have to prepare for it sooner rather than later."

Zhang Wei was thinking about how to deal with the situation when his cell phone rang. It was Brother Jie calling.

"Hey, Zhang Wei, I just got some inside information from the program team."

Everyone knows that Brother Jie can get inside information, because at that time Brother Jie was in a passionate relationship with Sister Na, and Sister Na was the ace host of the organizer, so she would naturally leak some inside information.

"What inside information? Brother Jie, please tell me about it." Zhang Wei said quickly.

"The rules of the competition have changed again. Didn't it say before that the next competition would invite Super Girls from the previous two sessions to team up and sing with us? Now it has been changed to inviting well-known female singers." Brother Jie said.

"Who are the famous female singers?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.

"you guess?"

"If I were to guess, it would be mainly singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, right? Our famous female singers from the mainland are all big names, they probably won't form a group with us."

As Zhang Wei was speaking, the images of Han Hong, Faye Wong and Na Ying popped up in his mind. Big names of this level would definitely not come off the stage to sing with the selected singers.

In addition to these big names, the more popular female singers in mainland China at that time were those who came from Super Girls.

Brother Jie then continued: "You really guessed it right. This time the program team invited SHE and Landy Wen."

"That's only four people, what about the other one?"

"The last one has not been confirmed yet. The invitation has been sent out. It depends on whether they have time."

"Who is that? Could it be Jolin Tsai?"

"What are you thinking! How much does Jolin Tsai get for her appearance? It has to be a performance of the same level as the New Year's Eve party before we can afford to pay for her." Brother Jie paused and continued, "The one who hasn't confirmed the schedule yet is Joey Yung."
