After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

Chapter 165 Model

The draw is over.

The scene switches back to the stage.

Cui Yuanbo smiled at the camera:

"The draw is over, and next is the singing session we have been looking forward to for a long time."

"The first contestant to appear is from Nanzhou."

"He debuted at the age of fifteen and became famous with one song. Since then, he has brought us many classic songs and has won the Best Singer Award at the Nanzhou Music Festival many times. Let us invite——"

"Zhou Zheng!"

Someone in the audience shouted out the name in unison.

The live audience are all public judges, and their reactions are not as intense as those of fans or ordinary audiences.

But the atmosphere on the scene has been aroused.

Many of Zhou Zheng’s fans stayed in front of the screen and cheered for their singer through barrage.

The camera swept across.

The person standing on the stage has been replaced by Zhou Zheng, who is wearing a suit.

As a singer who has been in the industry for many years, he looks calm and composed.

"Good evening, everybody."

"The song I'm going to sing later is——"

When he introduced the song he was going to sing, he was stuck for a moment.

I glanced back at the screen behind me and then remembered: "Model."

Everyone followed his gaze, and most of their attention was focused on the name of the composer. When they saw the word "Zigui", they all felt that the dust had settled.

As for Zigui himself, he was currently sitting in a corner of the audience, watching the first episode of the show.

This song by Zhou Zheng was customized based on his vocal range and voice after she listened to his songs.

After handing the lyrics and music to Zhou Zheng, Lu Wantang had never heard him sing the song.

Don't know how effective it will be.

After Zhou Zheng said the song title, the stage lights dimmed.

'Boom, boom, boom'

The sound of a strong heartbeat spread throughout the venue, and the atmosphere instantly changed.

The piano and drums in the prelude are well combined with the embellishment of synthesizers. The rhythm is not lyrical, but it sounds cold.

'Wear fancy clothes'

'Standing for the primal desire'

Zhou Zheng always gives people the impression of being very upright.

But this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave people a very relaxed feeling.

'With a perfect expression'

'Supporting fragile cities'

The lazy tone made Chen Xi and He Zhi, who were more familiar with him in the lounge, look surprised.

'I accept it with indifference'

'You are anxiously waiting and you are also trapped'

The camera switched to the lounge, and the expressions of the other contestants were clearly visible.

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh:

"Teacher Zhou is challenging himself! But he is quite suitable for this style of song."

They didn't expect that in the first episode, Zhou Zheng would dare to challenge a field he was not familiar with.

'Like countless models living in the windows'

'What else can I see besides the lights?'

The window models in this song are well-dressed and have the same expression, just like everyone in the rapidly developing city.

'What more could I ask for than light'

'Who else can I rely on besides you?'

The songs that Zigui wrote before required 100% investment of various emotions.

This song does not require this. Instead, you should be more rational when singing it, and it is best to sing it with a bit of indifference.

'What is calling from a thousand miles away'

'What will you want to recall a hundred years from now?'

'Before leaving/Can I see that moment again'

'Lights', 'Thousand Years', 'Hundred Years'...

Both space and time convey a sense of desolation and anxiety.

'Remember'

'Your eyes will light up'

A large amount of string music is released, driving the emotions and venting the feelings.

Zhou Zheng performed with ease and seemed completely immersed in the singing.

'My arms/will wave'

'Who says the world/has no choice'

The chorus seems to be the answer to the previous questions.

'While'

'I will be happy and angry, and you will be sad and happy'

'Sing love songs for a few minutes/nothing'

'At least it proves that we are still alive'

After hearing this, professionals can already tell that the style of this song is different from what Zigui has written before.

The arrangement is a combination of pop music, jazz and soul elements, but it does not sound complicated. The style is unique and clear, and it fits the meaning of "cold-eyed observation" expressed in the lyrics.

Some judges in the audience nodded while listening, and did not forget to take notes on paper.

'Like a simple butterfly'

'Flying for the sweetness of roses'

The second verse is of the same tone.

'Like a playful kitten'

'Falling asleep for tomorrow's curiosity'

Whether it is a rose or a kitten, they are actually using animals to represent people.

People should be as 'innocent' and 'playful' as these two, rather than like window models.

'It's a time of chaos'

'It feels like a transparent prison'

Chaos represents the existence of underlying rules, and prison represents being bound by rules.

Transparency means that everyone is aware of the existence of unspoken rules.

'I can't continue to be a model in the window'

Now that I have realized that "I need to take advantage of my joys and sorrows to prove that I am alive" and "the world does not allow me to choose", of course I want to refuse to be a model in the window and want to make a different voice.

"Except for the wind—"

……

'Remember--'

……

'At least it proves that we are still alive'

The ending is similar to the prelude, echoing each other.

The rolling lyrics and the meaning they expressed left everyone in a daze for a long time.

Zhou Zheng's singing was almost flawless.

But just as Lu Wantang expected, this song is actually not very suitable for the competition.

But after she took out the lyrics and music, she also asked Zhou Zheng what he thought.

The latter felt that there was no need to change the song, so Lu Wantang let him do as he pleased.

After a song was sung, the camera turned to the audience.

This is where the public review takes place.

The hundreds of audience members present were all people working in music-related jobs. Cui Yuanbo walked over with the microphone, and whenever there was a chance, each of them would make a few comments.

After all, there is no judges panel on "Singer".

The live show lasts nearly two hours, so we can't just sing one song after another without any intermission.

Cui Yuanbo stood in the aisle of the audience and conducted random interviews.

"Can you tell me what you think of Mr. Zhou or this new song?"

The person being asked is a music producer.

"I am quite familiar with Mr. Zhou and have listened to many of his songs. To be honest, tonight's performance is the one that impressed me the most. In the first competition, he dared to challenge an unfamiliar song style and performed so well. It was quite unexpected."

"And this new song... Zigui is really amazing to have customized such a song for Teacher Zhou."

……

The judges' responses varied, with some praising and some criticizing.

But at this time, Zhou Zheng had already returned to the lounge.

Chen Xi led the applause, "Teacher Zhou is awesome!"

Others echoed.

Song Qiuyu was curious: "Is the style of the songs Zigui wrote for you different?"

"Probably not... Shiki usually writes songs based on timbre and range."

After Chen Yulin answered, he looked at He Zhi, who knew Zigui better.

The latter responded: "Maybe Brother Zhou is indeed more suitable for this style."

Zhou Zheng himself said: "This is my first try and I feel it's pretty good, but I don't know how the audience will accept it."

Chen Xi: “I think this song will be a hit.”
