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

Chapter 315 High Note Showdown
The song title appeared on the big screen: "The Most Beautiful Sun".

"Why would it be this song? It shouldn't be like this!" Zhang Wei was stunned, feeling a little confused.

The song "The Most Beautiful Sun" was created by Zhang Jie after he participated in the 2007 Super Boy competition. In the Super Boy competition, Zhang Jie was undoubtedly the top player. With the popularity brought by the competition, Zhang Jie released a mini album at the end of the year, and the main song in the album was "The Most Beautiful Sun".

The song was written and composed by the famous musician Liu Jining, who was once a member of the Earth Band. In 2001, he won the Best Singer, Best Original Song and National Singer Championship in the MTV Singer Contest, and also won the silver medal in the CCTV Young Singer TV Contest.

After 2004, Liu Jining moved behind the scenes, became a music producer, and collaborated with many famous singers.

Liu Jining and Zhang Jie are good friends in private. He is the music director of Zhang Jie's two national tour concerts, "Fight for Love" and "I Want".

He will also appear in many music programs in the future, such as the first to fourth seasons of "I Am a Singer" and "The Masked Singer", where he is the music producer.
The first song that Liu Jining and Zhang Jie collaborated on was "The Most Beautiful Sun". This song was specially tailored for Zhang Jie and topped the golden song chart of that season after its release.

So the two of them struck while the iron was hot and collaborated on another song "Tianxia". It was also this song that made Zhang Jie a top young singer in the domestic entertainment industry.

What Zhang Wei didn't expect was that his appearance put more pressure on Jie Shao. The power of original songs was too great, so Jie Shao also found his good friend, wrote an original song, and used it in the most important final PK. As a result, "The Most Beautiful Sun" was born ahead of schedule.

This song was tailor-made for Jie Shao. Both the melody and the lyrics, as well as the arrangement, are very suitable for Jie Shao to display his own characteristics.

Although Jie Shao's singing skills at this time were not as good as they would be a decade later, his nickname "Little Prince of High Notes" had already spread.

On a technical level, his high notes are very stable, with a pure tone, without any sharpness or harshness, and a three-octave range, with the high notes reaching B5.

This top-notch musical talent, coupled with a song tailor-made for him, instantly brought the performance to its full potential.

Even Zhang Wei couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.

"My seat to watch Master Jie's concert is even closer than the VIP area in the concert! Remember the ticket for Master Jie's concert, the best seats start at 1680 yuan, so I've made a small profit! If Master Jie can sing "The World" and "Against the War" together, it will be even more perfect."

At this time, the voting data in the background quickly reached 500,000 votes.

Jie Shao is the most popular contestant in the Super Boy competition, so it is normal that he has a high number of votes outside the venue. Moreover, the song Jie Shao sang this time was an original song tailored for himself.

The song "The Most Beautiful Sun" is already a popular song, so of course the audience is willing to buy into it.

"It's over 500,000 votes. It hasn't even finished singing yet, and it's already over 500,000 votes. Maybe it will exceed a million votes in the end!" The director announced the data.

"As expected of Master Jie, he did not disappoint us. With such a high number of votes, he will definitely defeat Zhang Wei!" The planner also clenched his fists excitedly.

Hu Li sighed from the side: "It seems that the only thing that can beat an original song is an original song."

On the stage, Jie Shao's singing was in full swing and his strength was fully demonstrated. In the climax of the song, he even sang the high notes unscrupulously.

"C5! I can actually make a C5 sound!"

The judges looked at the introduction with admiration, already conquered by his performance.

The audience at the scene widened their eyes and looked at the introduction on the stage with an infatuated expression.

In the eyes of ordinary audiences, the higher the high notes, the better the singing skills.

At his peak, Jie Shao could sing the B5 note effortlessly. Now, he has not yet become a fully evolved body, but he can still sing the high note of C5 with ease.

On this kind of amateur talent show stage, the high notes of C5 are absolutely at the ceiling level and can conquer almost all the audiences.

Here is an explanation, the order from low to high is C, D, E, F, G, A, B, among which C is the lowest note and B is the highest note. So the pitch of B5 is higher than C5, and it is not just a little higher, but also sandwiched between D5, E5, F5, G5 and A5.

In traditional music, the highest pitch of the tenor is C5. When the world's three great tenors sang "O Sun," they also reached C5.

In pop songs, for boys, the high note starts from F4. C5 is considered a touchstone for testing the high note level of male singers. Singers who can sing up to C5 are considered good at singing high notes.

For female singers, C5 is considered the beginning of high notes, and F5 is considered the touchstone of high notes. A female singer who can sing up to F5 is good at singing high notes.

According to this standard, Jie Shao can sing the B5 note, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the top level of high notes in the Chinese music scene.

Not to mention male singers, there are not many female singers who can taste the B5 note, so Jie Shao is definitely a pure talent.

Jie Shao's performance also made Zhang Wei feel a sense of crisis.

Among all the contestants, Jie Shao's popularity is already one of the best. After all, he is a singer who has already debuted and already has a fan base. After several competitions, he performed very well and gained a lot of fans.

The song "The Most Beautiful Sun" is of very good quality and is one of his representative works. It can be said that the right person met the right song.

Add to that the high note of C5, and it’s definitely a plus.

The general audience's musical literacy is not high, and they cannot tell what is difficult about a song. Many people simply think that high notes are the ones that are sung well, and the higher the notes, the better the singing.

This can be seen from the first season of The Voice of China, where each contestant was singing high notes. The crazier the high notes, the more discussion there was among the audience after the competition, and the higher the popularity of the contestant.

Now, introducing the C5 note of "The Most Beautiful Sun", it is obviously in line with this point. It can be seen from the performance of the audience that the audience is very fond of it.

"Master Jie is still very strong. It seems I have to change my strategy!" Zhang Wei took a deep breath and immediately called the devil:

"Devil, I used five days of my life to exchange for four hours of Zhou Shen's talent. Now I plan to use two days of my life to exchange for one hour of Vitas' talent. How about that? You're making a profit!"

……

After Jie Shao finished singing, all the judges praised him.

Backstage, the program planner has already shown that he is confident of winning, as Jie Shao's votes have exceeded 70. At this rate, winning the million mark is a sure thing.

"Break one million votes, Zhang Wei, let's see how you win!" The planner looked at one of the broadcast cameras, which was aimed at Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Wei, you have realized that you will lose the game this time, right? You must be in great pain!"

The program planner said this and looked at the playlist in his hand. Zhang Wei’s last song happened to be called "Torment".

……

"If I had known earlier that you were just a flying bird, after the hug, all that was left in my hand was a feather..."

Zhang Wei began his singing.

Hu Li was stunned and said subconsciously: "Isn't the pitch too high?"

"Raised high? What does that mean?" the planner asked from the side.

Hu Li replied: "From the melody, the notes will get higher and higher as the song progresses. If it starts in the key of C, the highest note will be around C5."

"How high is C5?" the planner asked.

"The highest note in the song that Master Jie sang just now is C5." Hu Li replied.

"Wouldn't that be the same high note as Master Jie's?" The planner suddenly felt unhappy.

"I mean, if he starts with the key of C, it will reach C5, but now he is using the key of F, so it has to be at least D5 to end. That's one note higher than the song that Master Jie just sang!" Hu Li went on to introduce.

"It's a note higher. Can he sing it? Maybe he can't even sing C5!" The planner asked with a look of doubt on his face.

"As soon as the heart beats, love begins to torture, every minute, every second..." Zhang Wei's singing continued to come from the speakers, and this time he had reached the note C5.

"It's obvious that he can sing up to C5!" Hu Li said with a grim face.

"The fire is burning, how nice it would be to burn to ashes, it's called missing you, don't make a fuss, I believe I'm almost, almost forgetting you, and making peace with loneliness!"

Zhang Wei's voice continued to be heard from the speakers.

"He sang the note D5!" Hu Li exclaimed.

After singing the first time, Zhang Wei indeed sang the note D5.

This time it was the judges' turn to stare at Zhang Wei with wide eyes.

Just now, Jie Shao's C5 note has conquered the judges. You know, among young singers, no one has been able to sing to this level for a long time.

When the judges thought they had just witnessed the ceiling of the young singer, they were shocked to discover that there was actually a attic above the ceiling!
In the contestant waiting area, Jie Shao also showed a surprised expression. He was very satisfied with his performance just now, but he didn't expect that there is always someone stronger than you. There is always someone better than you. Zhang Wei actually sang the note D5.

As for the ordinary audience, they once again showed an infatuated expression.

With their understanding of music and the sensitivity of their ears, they cannot distinguish the two notes C5 and D5, but they can feel that Zhang Wei's voice is also very high. In their perception, as long as one can hit high notes, he or she has strength!

"The outcome is unpredictable again!" The planner subconsciously glanced at the voting data. Fortunately, Jie Shao was still far ahead.

However, Zhang Wei on the stage had only sung halfway. "If you can't get it, don't beg for it. Whatever you do, you don't need others to tell you..."

"It's higher again!" Hu Li exclaimed.

"What's higher?" the planner asked immediately.

"The pitch is higher again, this time he used the key of G!" Hu Li replied.

"You just said that he started with the key of F and the highest note he sang was D5. Now he started with the key of G, so what is the highest note he sang?"

"E5? F5? I don't know!"

Soon, Zhang Wei revealed the answer.

"As soon as the heart beats, love begins to torment..."

"E5!"

"Every minute, every second!"

"Still improving, F5!"

"The fire is burning, how nice it would be to burn to ashes, it's called missing you, don't make a noise!"

"G5, no, it seems to be A5!"

Hu Li was also a little uncertain at this time. Although she was a music major, she had never heard anyone sing a high note above G5 live.

After all, the touchstone for female singers’ high notes is F5.

However, Zhang Wei's voice continued to rise.

"Is this the B5 note?" Hu Li said to herself.

"Can't you tell?" The planner glared at Hu Li and continued, "I heard a foreign song, it seemed to be sung by a Russian, it was a dolphin sound, the sound of his howling seemed to be this sound."

"Opera 2? Are you talking about Vitas?" Hu Li was stunned for a second, then exclaimed: "C6, it's C6! My God, he can actually sing C6!"

……

Zhang Wei chose "Torment" as his third song, and he originally wanted to sing some high notes.

He also knew that in the eyes of ordinary audiences, being able to sing high notes means having good singing skills, so he chose a song that is easy to sing high notes so that he can show off his singing skills in front of ordinary audiences.

The song "Torment" is very suitable for singing high notes. When the original singer Li Jiawei performed this song, she entered with the lowest C note for girls, and the chorus soared to the F5 range, which is the touchstone for girls' high notes. The whole song spans the 16 true note range, which is very difficult.

There are not many songs that require the use of the F5 range, and this kind of singing that spans 16 ranges from low to high can also produce a more obvious contrast, allowing the audience to feel the shock of the high notes.

Later, in the Voice of China talent show, contestant Zhao Han also sang this song. As a male singer, he sang the high note of D5, which also left a deep impression on the audience.

Later in a performance, JJ Lin and the original singer Li Jiawei sang this song "Torment" together. This song has also become a famous scene for JJ Lin. Because the pitch of the song was too high, JJ Lin sang while sweating profusely. He sang with all his might and finally managed to finish the song, which made Li Jiawei, who was singing duet with him, almost unable to hold back her laughter.

JJ Lin's singing skills are undoubtedly top-notch, and he almost couldn't suppress it, which shows that this song's high notes are already the limit of human beings.

Zhang Wei exchanged Zhou Shen's talent. He felt that Zhou Shen's level was enough to handle the song "Torment".

However, Jie Shao sang a song called "The Most Beautiful Sun", showing off his highest C5 high note, which is the ceiling for male singers. This forced Zhang Wei to change his plan.

Since your highlight is the high notes, I will defeat you with the high notes, which is the most convincing way.

When it comes to high notes, among male singers, if Vitas is second, no one dares to be first!

Vitas not only has an ultra-wide vocal range of five octaves, but also has the iconic dolphin sound.

For Vitas, C5 is nothing. F5 is a piece of cake. Even B5 is something he can play easily without any challenge.

It is said that Vitas' highest note is one octave higher than the piano keys.

In real performances, Vitas has sung the note B6, but that was basically a whistle-like sound.

In fact, when it comes to human vocalization, the E6 note is already very similar to the sound of animals. So there is a saying that someone's singing voice is like a lark, and it basically refers to girls with high-pitched voices, because when the human voice is high, it really sounds like a bird's cry.

Vitas is called the Little Prince of Dolphin Sound, and it is not a random nickname. If you go to the oceanarium and listen to the dolphins' calls and then listen to Vitas' high notes, you will understand why he has this nickname.

In real singing, of course, there is no need to use dolphin-like calls. The C6 note is already the limit. Vitas' famous song "Opera 2" uses the C6 note.

Now, Zhang Wei uses the C6 note to sing the song "Torment", which is very suitable for high notes. The effect is naturally much better than the original singer's F5 note.

More importantly, this is the sound of C6!

The three judges on the scene were completely stunned and didn't know what to say.

When Zhang Wei sang the note D5 just now, they felt that this was already the attic on the ceiling.

Next, Zhang Wei raised the note and sang E5. Only then did they realize that it was not a attic but an additional floor.

Then the F5 note, add two layers; the G5 note, add three layers; the A5 note, add four layers...

Are you coming here to build an illegal structure?
By the time Zhang Wei sang the note B5, the judges were already numb with shock.

In the Chinese music scene, there are actually male singers who can sing up to the B5 note. If they didn't hear it with their own ears, they would never believe it.

Even after hearing it with their own ears, they still couldn't believe it, because that was the sound of B5!

For other male singers, being able to sing a C5 note is already a test of success and making them excellent soprano singers.

And you raised the pitch by six notes. Are you trying to grind the trial stone into a needle?
It's incredible!
However, the B5 note was not the end point. In the highest note part of the song, they actually heard the C6 note!
It is an octave higher than the C5 note of the tenor's sword test stone!
In front of the C6 sound, Jie Shao's C5 sound just now was just like a kindergarten kid playing house.

Is this still a human being?

Am I dreaming?
One judge even pinched his arm secretly. It really hurt!

So what should we do next?
That's the C6 note. With our level, how can we be qualified to comment on the C6 note!

Isn't this like asking the chef of a roadside food stall to comment on the state banquet cuisine!
My level is just that of tomato and egg, and you want me to review a Michelin three-star dish?

In the waiting area, Jie Shao looked at Zhang Wei on the stage, and after being shocked, his face was filled with admiration.

For me, the C5 note represents a high level of performance, but for Zhang Wei, the C5 note is just the beginning, then each note becomes higher and higher, and finally reaches the C6 note.

Facing the C6 note, which was an octave higher than mine, I admitted defeat with all my heart!

What little prince of high notes? Look at him, this is the real high notes.

Having lost to such an opponent, Jie Shao not only did not feel wronged, but also felt a little honored.

Zhang Wei was willing to use the C6 note to compete with me, which obviously showed his recognition of my performance. Although I lost the game, it was a happy thing to be recognized by my opponent and let him go all out.

The audience's reaction was even more direct. They picked up their phones and started voting for Zhang Wei.

In the perception of ordinary audiences, whoever sings the higher the high notes, the better the singing skills.

Even if you are a crosstalk performer, as long as you sing a piece of "Jiao Xiaofan" and sing it loudly, the audience will think that you sing Peking Opera very well.

Now in this high-note competition, Zhang Wei's high notes surpassed Jie Shao by an entire octave, and the audience naturally felt that Zhang Wei sang better.

Since you sing better, just vote for me!

In particular, many viewers who have just voted for Jie Shao will think that since Jie Shao’s singing is worthy of my vote, then Zhang Wei, who sings better, is more worthy of my vote.

This is the effect of a straight-up confrontation, with no ambiguity, no strategy, and the most direct and straightforward face-to-face confrontation.

You punch, I punch too, you kick, I kick too. When we use the same moves, it is clear who falls and who stands.

You sing high notes, I sing high notes, we don't compete with others, we compete with each other in high notes, whoever sings the higher notes will be the winner, simple and clear. This way, we can win easily and lose calmly.

On the SMS voting data board in the background, Zhang Wei's votes rose rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he surpassed Jie Shao...
