On Wednesday, the contestants met individually with their mentors to decide on their repertoire for the next round.

"Sally." When it was Yili's turn to enter the studio, Adam, who was sitting on the high chair, greeted her happily.

Whether it was seeing his favorite player, or thinking about the current situation of public opinion in favor of them, Adam unconsciously smiled.Of course, if Isaac could be more unlucky, Adam would be happier.

"Adam." Yi Li was also in a relaxed mood.

Now everything is developing in a positive direction. If everything goes well, they might be able to say goodbye to that person in the next round of competition.However, this is only the best possibility. The so-called public opinion on the Internet and the real public opinion are often two different things. There are many times when there is a bloodbath on the Internet, but there is no disturbance in reality. Such things abound.

However, that is beyond her decision. Now, what she can do is to prepare well for the next game and not let these things affect her. This is the best reward for those who support her.

"What song are you going to sing in the next round?" Adam took the sheet music handed over by Yi Li, lowered his head and flipped through it.

"Firework by Katy Perry." Standing opposite Adam, Yili answered naturally.

"Hmm." Adam raised his eyebrows and raised his head. "This song doesn't seem to be your usual style? You tend to be soul pop, and you are also good at light rock, but "Firework"? This song is more like electronic dance music, you Are you sure you want to select it?"

It's not a wise decision to switch song styles during a game.

Typically, contestants attract fans of a certain style, pop singers attract pop fans, and country singers attract country fans.These fans may be excited, they may be excited, but they are rarely loyal, because in the short course of the game, very few fans will completely become personal fans of the contestants. Most of their fans are the singing voices of the contestants, not singing So, after the competition, if the contestants can't cover those famous songs, and they don't have a better new song, these fans will naturally disperse.

Unless the contestant has a strong personal charm, coupled with time brewing, as well as a little opportunity and a little talent, it is possible to turn those March fans into their own personal fans, which is the so-called solid fans, but such examples are true. Very few.

If you want to achieve such a goal, you must meet a powerful brokerage company that can help you maintain your popularity, get access to certain industry resources, and get good new songs. If you have the conditions and ability, you can write it yourself, or even better, after all Singer-songwriters are the real scarce resources. Even if they lose their talent for a while, there is always the possibility of a comeback. Bieber is the best example. He once made a big death, but his talent is unquestionable, so it will last for several years. After turning over in one fell swoop.

There are as many draft singers as there are crucian carp crossing the river, and how many of them can really break into the circle.It's just the survivor bias that makes many people think it's easy to get ahead in the draft.In fact, the vast majority of players fell silent after the game, and the glory was temporary. Not one out of ten players could really stand out and become famous.

Therefore, when the fans are not loyal enough, rashly changing the genre is almost tantamount to abandoning the original supporters and attracting new fans. The difficulties are naturally self-evident.

In fact, not to mention draft singers, even famous singers, there are very few who can successfully switch routes.

Big names such as Taylor Swift, in the process of her successful transformation, there are also some people who are ridiculed, but her fan base is strong enough, she is very talented, one after another single, one record after another, abruptly laid down There is a new world, and the original fans are loyal enough. Even if some people question her original intention of music, most fans still support her as always, so she can change from a pure country singer to a pop singer.

In contrast, Katy Perry, who once had three points with her in the world, is known as the big-breasted sweetheart of Fruit Sister. She was also a top performer at her peak, writing countless bulletin board hits, and many The record is still maintained to this day, and she has also gained a lot of money in various awards. Together with Taylor, Rihanna, and Adele, she is known as the four queens, and the four of them were once on the same level.

But in terms of transformation, Katie gave up her big-breasted sweetheart persona, switched from a straightforward and silly big sister to a blunt iron-T line, and was too close to politics. The most important thing is that she has not been able to write a popular new song, so she flopped all the way , It's really embarrassing, and there is even a feeling of hating iron for not being steel-such a good start, such a good hand, how did this once popular fruit sister get to where she is today!

The two very different endings certainly illustrate the importance of talent, which is also the basis for them to stand in this circle. Both of them are not lacking in this aspect. They are both famous as singer-songwriters, and both can write and sing. representative, but the song style and personal route are also one of the factors that affect their musical journey.

If Katie doesn't change styles blindly, and can keep a certain distance from politics like other singers, then she may not be so vital that she gets confused so quickly—it will eventually get confused, and singers who can't write good songs will sooner or later Will be eliminated, but there is still a difference between fading out of the music scene decently and leaving this vanity fair hastily.Of course, Katie has not yet reached the point of leaving, but if no changes are made, the future of this once popular female singer is really difficult to say.

The only fortunate thing is that Katie's nationality is still there, her own status and celebrity status are there. The so-called big explosion is hard to be confused. Even if the fortune is not good for a while, at least she has not really passed away. At present, it is just a decline in popularity. , as long as one day writes a well-known song, it may not be impossible to rebirth the Jedi.The pattern of the new generation of divas has been changing and has not yet been fully settled. Katie used to be one of the most popular female singers. Even if she falls behind for a while, she may not be able to make a comeback, but before that, she really needs to think about her future. How should I go.

Yili also understood this truth, but she didn't change her mind because of it.

"Yes, I'm sure, this is the song I want to sing." Yili replied seriously, facing her mentor who cared about herself, she had to explain her reason for choosing the song to him, "I like the song expressed in this song. Everyone has their own shining moment, that is our dream and the meaning of life, I can feel my resonance with it, this is the most important.”

"That's right." Adam nodded in agreement, waiting for Yili to continue.

"Secondly, I also hope that I am not so static. I want to prove that I can control many types of songs, of course, not all types. That is too exaggerated, but it can't be too limited, isn't it? I don't want to stay In my comfort zone. I wanted to challenge myself a little bit and it would also allow me to discover my true musical path.”

Yili smiled, and continued, "This song is not the same as the ones I sang before, but there is still something in common between them, the natural and harmonious melody, the distinct sense of rhythm, I believe in myself I can grasp it well, and hope to interpret this song in my own way, I think, this will be a self-breakthrough for me.”

"Well said." Listening to Yili's clear explanation, Adam's slightly frowning brows gradually relaxed, "I'm glad you are so sober. However, I still have to say that the melody of this song seems a bit clichéd , but as a singer, it is not so easy to interpret it properly, and it is even more difficult to stand out.

It uses a lot of vibrato skills, and the grasp of the rhythm is also very important. Even some famous singers may not be able to control it well. I have seen the scene of a car accident in this song more than once.But to put it bluntly, the best version I have heard so far is Katie's studio version, and there are very few who can sing this song well on the spot.

If you decide to choose this song, you not only need to sing it well, but also sing it best, only in this way can the audience shine and make them unswervingly support you-so, are you ready?You have chosen a very difficult challenge. "

As Ellie said, this song is definitely different from the songs she has chosen in the past, but it is not that different.

If Yili used to sing country music, but now suddenly wants to sing heavy metal rock, then Adam will show more obvious opposition, after all, the difference between the two is too great, from style to rhythm, from connotation to The forms of expression have almost no similarities at all, and the audiences of the two are also completely different. This sudden change is definitely an unwise decision.

But now, Yili just wants to make a small change in style, and it is still generally within the framework of pop music, and pop music is the most inclusive, from the essence of music to the audience, so Adam is not too concerned. Great opinion.

As for the difficulty of singing the song itself, that's another matter.

Yili had sung pop-rock songs before, and her excellent performance gave Adam enough confidence, but from the standpoint of a mentor, he still had to remind his team members.

"Yes." Yili nodded solemnly, and then added another sentence, saying with a sense of ridicule, "However, I believe that under the guidance of the best mentor in front of me, I will be able to live up to everyone's expectations and make a Best show ever."

"Hmm, very discerning, very insightful." Facing Yili's straightforward 'flattery', Adam didn't blush at all, but was quite pleased with it. He nodded seriously, and happily flipped through the sheet music—this joke-like The small episode also weakened the serious atmosphere between the two, allowing both of them to break free from the heavy pressure of the game and concentrate on preparing instead.

"..." While holding back a smile, the pianist next to him couldn't help feeling a little speechless.

This pair of mentors and team members, what kind of pot is suitable for what kind of cover!

Soon, Adam saw what Yili wanted to change, and put forward some of his suggestions. After a brief discussion, the two decided to change while singing, and then entered the practice process.

"Do you know that there's still a chance for you/

'Causethere' sasparkinyou/

You just gotta ignite the light and let itshine——

Just town the night like the 4th of July—”

Yili sang with all her heart in front of the microphone, and Adam sat across from her, listening with a smile and tapping the beat on the soles of his feet from time to time.

It is undeniable that the melody of this song is not very outstanding, and it can even be said to be a little drooling, but Yili's tense interpretation makes the mediocre melody seem colorful, like a piece of blue and clear In the very bright sky, a colorful rainbow suddenly appeared, which immediately brightened people's eyes. This was Adam's feeling at the moment.

"Sally, wait a minute..." However, Adam also remembered his role as a mentor, so when the other party's singing was not in place, he changed from the role of a listener to a critical mentor, patiently pointing out her faults for the other party. Insufficient, "In ignitethelight and letitshine, when you raise the tone, you can't lower the vibrato. I know, this is not an easy thing, but you have to do it, use the breath in your belly to raise, De-vibration, let the two become one naturally, without any dissonance, this is the effect I want, understand?"

"Understood." Yili nodded. She also felt that her practice was a little lacking this time. This delicate singing skill was the biggest test for her, but she believed that she would be able to complete this challenge. "Then I will do it again."

"Okay." Adam was very satisfied with Yili's progressive attitude, nodded and asked Yili to start over.

"...You just gottaignite~the light~andlet~itshine—

Justtown~thenight~like the4th~ofJuly—”

Eli won't make the same mistake twice.

After brewing and rehearsing in her heart, this time, she almost completed all Adam's demanding requirements.

But the picky instructor was still a little dissatisfied, and shook his head slightly at the slight flaw.

Yili nodded calmly, took a deep breath, and came again.

"...You just gottaignite~the light~andlet~itshine—"

"...You just gotta ignite ~the light~"

After such tireless practice, Adam finally nodded, and Yi Li breathed a sigh of relief and continued singing.

Time passed bit by bit.

One singing, one listening, and after countless practice sessions, Yili finally sang her version completely.

It not only has the essence of the original singing, but also has her own personal style. This is her "Firework"!

"Very well, let's stop here today." Adam said to Yili with a smile.

It can be said that as strict as he was with Yili before, he is as satisfied with her now.

No matter how detailed his request is, she can fulfill it meticulously. This continuous improvement of singing skills and the correct attitude of tireless practice in pursuit of perfection are enough to satisfy Adam.

Once again, he was convinced that his team member would be able to go very, very far in the game...

"Okay, Adam." Yili nodded, took a few sips of water from Adam, moistened her throat, and then said goodbye to her mentor, "Thank you, Adam. Then, see you the day after tomorrow. "

"See you the day after tomorrow." Adam smiled and watched his team members leave the studio, then turned around, looked at his old partner, and said on a whim, "Hey, David, how about we make a bet?"

"What bet?" The middle-aged pianist replied uninterestedly. While speaking, he straightened his sore back and moved his fingers to prepare for the next player who came in for practice.

"Well, bet on how far Sally can go in the competition?" Adam thought for a while, and said quickly, "The bet is a meal, how about a hundred dollars? I bet Sally can enter the finals, and there is no The suspenseful kind."

"..." You know there is no suspense, the pianist David sighed, and said angrily, "I also bet on Sally to enter the final, how about two hundred dollars?" Anyone who has worked with a star for five years , the attitude can't be casual anymore, at least, compared to the politeness at the beginning, the two are now almost friends, even if they are not very close to each other.

"Cough, okay." Adam touched his nose, and he also felt that this bet was a bit boring, "Then change it, next week's voting results, how much do you think Sally will be ranked? Top three? Top five? Top six ? Top eight?"

"...Well, top five." David thought about it in his heart, and said cautiously - after all, a hundred dollars is insignificant to a big star like Adam, but it is not a small amount of money to a small person like him .

"Are you sure?" Adam raised his eyebrows calmly, a little unhappy that the old man underestimated his team members, so he confirmed again, "You think Sally is in the top five, but not in the top three, so it is in the fourth or fifth is it?"

"Uh..." The pianist also noticed Adam's subtle mood, and he couldn't help thinking about it again, feeling that he seemed too conservative.As an accompanist, he understands the strength of these players better than most, and he can feel the current influence of Sally.Among other things, every time I go home, my adolescent daughter will take the initiative to greet him, chirping and asking him about Sally's personality outside of competitions, how she behaves in the world, and rumors and anecdotes...

You know, before this competition, his little sweetheart hadn't whispered to him for a long time, although he knew that this was the normal state of girls' puberty, personality changes, sudden little secrets, and sudden boyfriends , no longer confide in his parents, etc., but as an old father, he still inevitably feels sad...

But all this changed completely after the start of this game! ! !

Knowing that her father is currently working in SuperVoice, her daughter has become lively and considerate again, and she has endless things to say to him every day.Apart from being happy, David is also very happy about the positive changes in his daughter.The only thing that puzzled him was that after the live broadcast on Monday ended, his daughter borrowed his and his wife's mobile phones, closed the door, and became silent.

Knock on the door and ask.

The answer: Do not disturb during the battle.

David: ...

David's wife: ...

Although I was curious about my daughter’s little secret, the next day my daughter was sunny again (the battle was a complete victory~), and she was in a good mood to make breakfast for the family. Even simple bacon omelette and milk cereals were enough to make the David was very relieved, so he didn't delve into it...

Thinking of this, David raised the estimated ranking in the player's mind, and after considering her influence on his daughter, he finally made up his mind and said, "Then, let's be in the top three." After a pause, he asked Adam ,"And you?"

If Adam also felt that the other party was in the top three, then the bet would not count.

However, he didn't really care about this at first, he just wanted to play casually with Adam, and he didn't count if he didn't count.

"I also think Sally is in the top three." Adam was very satisfied with David's change of words, and when David was about to say 'then we won't play', he added, "However, I think Sally's ranking will be higher. better."

"...better?" Top three not good enough?Did Adam feel that Sally must be No.1?David shook his head inwardly.

He believes in Sally's strength. She does have the possibility of advancing to No.1, but this possibility is too small. The strength of the players is not directly equivalent to their rankings. Coupled with the influence of other factors, Adam's words are a bit too sure.

"I bet Sally is the first to advance." Adam shrugged his shoulders and smiled briskly. Facing David's hesitant expression, he didn't explain much, but said confidently, "One hundred dollars, bet or not ?”

If there hadn't been the previous turmoil, Adam might not be so sure, but since that kind of thing happened, Sally and the others dealt with it so well, and the public opinion and word-of-mouth are impeccable. There must have been more votes than the ones she should have received. Under such circumstances, it is unreasonable for Sally not to be the first!

Come on, his free lunch~~~

"... Bet!" David gritted his teeth and bet, "Then I bet Sally is second or third, and it's also a hundred dollars."

In terms of probability, he should have a better chance of winning, David thought to himself.

He didn't think he had a reason to lose. The possibility of Sally getting the first place was too small, and the second and third place were the safer choices.As for, outside the top three, of course both of them lost, the bet was void, and he had nothing to lose. David believed that he had made a wise decision, at least a decision that would not go wrong.

——What the pianist didn't want to understand is that this is not a simple numbers game. Probability is not everything. The strength and personal charm of the players are the most important considerations. All other factors are irrelevant. significance.

"Deal!" Adam stretched out his hand, David held it, and the two smiled at each other, convinced that they were the real winners!
