How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 88: People can't lose, and neither can the formation
"Teacher Zhang, are you really planning to let Zhao Tong sing "A Diao"? If you regret it now, maybe it's not too late!" Vocal music teacher Sun Chengcheng said in a low voice, with worry written all over her face.

The previous moment she was secretly happy that Liu Meijun only got 5 points, but the next moment she broke out in a cold sweat because of the song title Zhao Tong announced.

"A Diao"?
Even if she is a vocal teacher and knows the singing method and difficulties of this song very well, she would not dare to try it easily, not to mention that the singer is just a trainee?

She couldn't understand why Teacher Gu's student had chosen such a difficult song when Zhao Tong could have surpassed Liu Meijun in score if she had just performed consistently. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
"Why do you want to go back on your word?" Zhang Wen said after hearing this. "Teacher Gu's student sang a difficult song. If I had chosen an easier song for my students, people who didn't know me would have thought I was a coward. They say it's better to lose the person than the formation. I can't lose either the person or the formation."

"..."

Sun Chengcheng opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only look at Zhao Tong and place her hopes on him.

Don't make any mistakes!

At this moment, everyone was looking at the girl standing in the center of the room, waiting for her next move.

As the prelude sounded, Zhao Tong's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.

"A Diao..."

It starts with the high note of A4, which is definitely from Zhang Shaohan's version of "A Diao".

Moreover, Zhao Tong's voice is highly recognizable, with a crisp tone and bright high notes, which can awaken the ears at first listen. Although there are only two words, his soft singing shows strong control.

"A Diao, spread the sunshine in front of the Jokhang Temple."

"Make a pot of sweet tea and let's talk about the past..."

"..."

"Dimpled cheeks beneath the grey brim"

"You rarely speak simple answers"

“Who will care where you are tomorrow?”

"Even if you fall on the road..."

The first part of the song ended without Zhao Tong making any mistakes.

Although her voice is not as bright as Angela Chang's, her good control of breath allows her to convey the emotions in the song to the audience, making it more contagious.

However, everyone knows that the difficulty and highlight of the song "A Diao" lies in the final climax. Only when that part is sung well can the song be considered complete.

Otherwise, no matter how well you sing at the beginning, it will be a failure.

However, the performance in the beginning made everyone present look forward to the climax later.

"Fate is unfortunate, obsession is indifferent"

"Farewell to the countless stations of youth"

“Willing to be ordinary but unwilling to fail in an ordinary way”

"You are A Diao..."

The brief pause attracted enough attention that everyone's heart was in their throat.

Sun Chengcheng, Li Yuetong, Lin Feng, Xu Qingyu, even Gu Chunyan and Jiang Yijing, all stared intently. At this moment, everyone held their breath.

Victory or defeat depends on this shout!
"You're a free bird!"

The voice is loud and powerful.

Zhao Tong held on to the last word. Although his voice was not very steady, there was no interruption, and the high notes touched people's hearts.

Sun Chengcheng clenched his fists tightly, his whole arms were shaking, his face turned from white to red, and his eyes were full of excitement and surprise.

I sang it, I really sang it.

On the other side, Gu Chunyan's face turned pale and her expression was extremely ugly.

Although there were a few minor issues in the performance, the merits outweighed the flaws, and at least it did not fail in the key places.

Just for this reason, Zhao Tong's score will definitely be higher than Liu Meijun's.

Gu Chunyan couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

She had given Zhao Tong vocal lessons before, but at that time, his performance was not very impressive. How come there was such a big change in him after just one month of not teaching him?

I heard that recently, it was Sun Chengcheng who gave vocal lessons to Zhao Tong and others.

She had attended Sun Chengcheng's class before, and her lectures were pretty good, but singing skills cannot be mastered in ten days.

Could it be that Zhao Tong has been hiding his strength?

That shouldn't be the case. Daily performance will also be recorded in the trainees' overall scores, and only those with excellent overall scores will have the opportunity to debut.

How evil!
Zhang Wen glanced at Teacher Gu next to him and a smile appeared on his face.

A month ago, Zhao Tong certainly couldn't sing to such an effect, but now Zhao Tong is not only free from the troubles of negative personality derivatives, but also has increased his vocal skills by 4 points.

Although there is still a big gap compared to Zhang Shaohan, but compared to ordinary trainees...

What did that sentence say?

Not as good as the best but better than the worst!

The singing is over.

Zhao Tong learned from Liu Meijun's previous lesson. After singing, he held his head and chest high with a confident smile on his face.

She knew she didn't hold her breath on the high note at the end, but she was very satisfied with her performance.

Xu Qingyu looked at Zhao Tong with his eyes full of surprise. He didn't expect that after not seeing him for such a long time, the other party would change so much.

She had been filled with anxiety just now, but now she was relieved and even looked forward to the upcoming competition. "Judges, please give your scores!" Xu Qingyu said with a smile.

It was Liu Haiyang who first showed the white paper with a big "9" written on it.

"I haven't heard such a recognizable voice for a long time. I closed my eyes for a while just now. It's hard to imagine that this song is sung by a trainee. I am very optimistic about you." Liu Haiyang said with a smile.

As the vice president, he was naturally very happy that the company had such a trainee.

As for why he deducted 1 point, he simply felt that among the many advantages, a small flaw was not worth mentioning.

The next person to show the score was Wang Jinghua, and there was also "9" written on the white paper.

"With a good image and good singing skills, you already have the basic conditions to debut as a singer. The next step is to constantly hone and improve yourself. I am looking forward to your future." Wang Jinghua said while nodding.

The last person to raise the score was Yang Zhengnan.

8 points!
"Boss Liu and Director Wang have spoken a lot about your strengths, so let me be the bad guy and point out your weaknesses. While your high notes are stunning, you're also missing some of your bass range. Your explosiveness is also great, but it lacks sustain, which prevents you from holding onto words for long. Even if you try to cover it up with vocal variations, you still can't land smoothly. I hope you can improve your lung capacity after you return. That way, you'll be perfect."

Although Yang Zhengnan only talked about the shortcomings, his eyes showed unconcealable admiration.

Xu Qingyu was delighted when she saw the result. She said, "Taking away the lowest score and the highest score, Zhao Tong's final score is 9."

After hearing this, Zhao Tong immediately bowed and thanked them, "Thank you, teachers."

After saying that, he walked happily towards his team.

Zhang Wen raised his right hand, palm facing Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong also raised his right hand, and the two palms collided as he passed by.

"Snapped!"

The sound was particularly loud in the quiet rehearsal room.

Especially for some people, it's just jarring.

For example, Jiang Yijing.

Next it was her student's turn, but after facing Zhao Tong's near-perfect performance, she had completely lost confidence in winning this competition.

But for the sake of the previous plan, I have to persevere even if I don’t have confidence.

"Teacher Jiang, which song should I sing?" Ding Xinyi asked nervously. Before she started singing, there was a hint of timidity on her face.

Obviously, she didn't think she could surpass Zhao Tong.

That's 9 points.

Jiang Yijing thought about it and realized that if she simply tried to win by singing high notes, she would definitely not be able to win. In this situation, she could only win by using skills.

"Just sing Huang Liling's 'Give Me a Reason to Forget'."

"what?"

Ding Xinyi's eyes widened when she heard this.

Are you kidding me?
This song not only tests singing skills, but also extremely high tests of vocal techniques. Although the high notes are not as good as "A Diao", it is not inferior at all in the use of voice tension and explosiveness.

It also includes falsetto, pharyngeal sounds, etc., which is so difficult that it drives people crazy.

"Teacher, can we change the song? I'm not familiar with this song!" Ding Xinyi said.

She didn't dare to say no, so she could only use the excuse of lack of experience, hoping to get away with it.

"Haven't you practiced this before?" Jiang Yijing asked with wide eyes.

"No, I didn't practice well." Ding Xinyi said in a low voice.

"Don't make excuses!" Jiang Yijing said unhappily.

She didn't want to hand over the victory in singing to the newcomer, so she had to give it a try even at the risk of making mistakes.

Ding Xinyi lowered her head, knowing that she couldn't make the decision, so she could only turn around and walk in front of the judges.

Wang Jinghua, who was sitting on the judges' panel, frowned when she saw the expression of singer number three. This girl is pretty, but why does she look so bitter and resentful?
This is not a good place, and storytelling is not popular.

When the accompaniment sounded, Ding Xinyi had no choice but to sing.

"The rain has stopped, why is the sky so gray?"

"I still remember you saying we should be happy."

"The sound of your footsteps late at night is always grating."

"If you are afraid of loneliness, then let..."

"Uh"

'让' was originally a high note, but Ding Xinyi not only failed to sing it, but also broke her voice.

The singing continued, but Jiang Yijing and Gu Chunyan's faces had already gloomed.

She can even break her voice when singing a simple high note. She can already predict the ending without waiting for the judges’ scores!
Well, another one finished!
Gu Chunyan looked at the remaining three trainees with disappointment. The best ones had already lost, so how could these substitutes still win?
It seems that we can only pin our hopes on the next item!

Dance, you must not lose!
