When Wang Yuchang's performance ended, the competition for this year's last issue of "Xia Guo Good Singer" was all over.
All the singers came to the familiar lounge one after another, waiting for the audience's voting results.
They all greeted each other, no matter how they performed in this issue, and showed their best side in front of the camera with a very skilled business smile.
"Everyone's performance was very exciting. On behalf of the program team, I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone!"
"There are several singers who have accompanied us through these eight episodes, which lasted for one and a half months, which is even more rare!"
Director Huang Shengcai and producer Jiang Linlin stood in front of everyone, speaking in official accents skillfully.
Director Huang was still wearing his sleeveless vest and his pair of black-framed myopia glasses. He greeted all the singers with a smile on the surface but actually a mean expression.
"Hello, Director Huang!"
"Hello, Producer Jiang!"
All eight singers waved to him and said hello.
Although everyone had bright smiles on their faces, it was unclear how many of these greetings were sincere, and how many of them wanted to punch this guy who liked to laugh cheaply to death.
"Everyone is still very energetic today!"
Seeing everyone's piercing eyes looking at him, Director Huang continued to talk with a smile without any doubts in his heart, and then raised his hands and raised his thick black-rimmed glasses too much.
"Because today is the last episode, everyone is a little sad and nostalgic, which is understandable."
"However, we still have to decide the final ranking of this final round and the overall noun of this round based on the votes of the audience judges!"
He was holding a microphone and facing the camera towards the camera. He didn't seem as "sad" as he said in his words. The singers didn't know whether this old-fashioned and robot-like director really belonged to His own true feelings.
"But before the voting results come out, Producer Jiang and I will express our highest respect and gratitude to you on behalf of the entire program team. Thank you for supporting us through this month and a half and for the entire Xia Kingdom. I have also left a lasting mark on the music scene, thank you!"
The two joined hands and bowed deeply to the singers. At this time, the eight singers and their competition assistants also stopped laughing and bowed very seriously in return.
In an instant, a feeling of separation and farewell that was about to end the song surged into the hearts of the singers.
Especially the three singers like Jiang Kan, Zhao Yu, and Liu Yiliang, who stayed with me from beginning to end, felt more deeply than others.
Such a top stage, such a powerful opponent, such a picky audience, such a mean director...
They all left indelible memories in their hearts.
Jiang Kan, in particular, has gone through a lot of twists and turns from an unknown newcomer, to a budding sensation, and now the number one professional accountant. Now he can better understand how to grow from poverty to no one in a busy city. Ask, how does it feel to be rich and have distant relatives in the mountains? ….
Once he became famous, it can be said that it is the most authentic feeling of Jiang Kan's psychology at this moment, and the most authentic description of his identity.
Zhang Lingling has received piles of advertisements, and the promotion channels for all of her songs given by the company have also been upgraded to the highest standards. In the past, when working in the company, the only time to work in the company was to enter the composition department office where there would be colleagues and He said hello, and before he even entered the building where the company is located, people were frantically surrounding him to take photos and ask for autographs...
Everything is changing, everything is getting better.
This is also due to the stage and popularity of this prestigious Xia Country's first music variety show - "Xia Country Good Singer".
At this moment, sitting with a group of singers who could only look up at the TV at this time last year, feeling the kindness and adulation from them, Jiang Kan only felt waves of unreal
Feel.
It was as if I was still working in the IT company back then, and this was just a short dream I had when I fell asleep on the table during my lunch break. It was so illusory, so hazy, so unreal...
I just filled out a lot of reports in the morning, and I was still looking at the work plan before taking a nap. After a while, I had to discuss the promotion strategy of the new game with the people in the marketing department, hold a dark meeting, and help the children on the way home in the evening. Juan bought a box of Tiffany cakes that she had been talking about for a long time. In the evening, she had to help her daughter Xiaoyuan with her math homework and test her dictation...
The surrounding sounds were very noisy, and Jiang Kan's vision gradually became blurred in the mist.
Everything in this lively world seems to be gradually moving away from him, and everything is unreal. Is this absurd and prosperous reality just a short fantasy in his poor and busy middle-aged life?
However, this dream is so beautiful and so happy. They are pursuing me and praising me. If this is a dream, please let me not wake up...
"Teacher Jiang Kan, Teacher Jiang Kan?"
Seeing that his expression was a little confused, he refused to respond to his name. Zhao Yu and Liu Yiliang beside him were a little anxious. Liu Yiliang even shook his shoulders gently, which brought him out of the unreal hazy hallucination. Wake up and come back.
"Ah, it's not a dream?"
He shuddered suddenly, and his thoughts returned instantly. He saw the familiar faces of Liu Yiliang and Zhao Yu on the left and right sides, then looked at the singers sitting around him in twos and threes, talking enthusiastically, and then looked at the front of his eyes. The expensive camera carried by the cameraman, Director Huang’s squinty black eyes, his everlasting vest and smile...
"call……"
Not fake.
As long as it's not fake.
I never want to go back to the old, boring life.
In this way, there is no pressure from KPIs, no pressure from a PUA wife, no endless housework and heavy financial pressure. Instead, you will be sought after by the audience, the camera, and even other celebrities. A relaxed and comfortable life is the life I want to live.
This is how a man should be in life!
Jiang Kan took a deep breath, and his face instantly returned from the confused state to the sincere and friendly smile before, responding to the greetings of the two.
"The lights were too dazzling just now, and the sudden blood flow caused me to feel a little dizzy..."...
He rubbed his temples and smiled politely and politely to Liu Yiliang and Zhao Yu, who were caring about him.
"That's good. We just saw that your mental state seemed a little abnormal...but it's okay, haha."
Liu Yiliang has regarded Jiang Kan as a thigh that he must hold tightly for the rest of his life, and is very concerned about Jiang Kan's condition.
After these several program experiences, he has once again deeply realized the impact and help an excellent composer and lyricist can have on a singer's future.
Even someone as strong as Zhao Yu would be defeated by a mere first-tier singer, just because he sang a song called "White Rose" by Jiang Kan.
As strong as Janice, he was able to fight her inextricably with the song "The Wind Rises" composed by Jiang Kan.
"I'll hang out with Brother Kan from now on."
This is a true portrayal of his mood at this time.
And Zhao Yu was also filled with emotion.
At the beginning of the period, just because this uncle was the object of my niece's crush, I deliberately condescended to "take care of" him and sang "A Thousand Years of Waiting" provided by him.
Who would have thought that after several episodes of "Good Singer", I have become his companion, watching him get first and second place every time, and I can only get a second or third place by singing his songs. Already?
It's really not easy. Such a fierce person must have a good relationship, not only to fuck his niece, but also for his future singing future.
…
"Okay, I have the voting results in my hands. Teachers, please sit down. We will start the final vote report right away!"
A staff member handed the unopened envelope to Director Huang, and everyone sat down in rows at his request.
"So, today we will follow the old rules and announce the fifth-place singer first... Does anyone think they will be fifth? Can you raise your hand?"
Director Huang asked intentionally or unintentionally while opening the envelope.
As a result, when he opened the envelope, he saw a field of raised hands in front of him.
Except for Janice.
But Janice found it interesting when she saw so many people raising their hands. After a moment of hesitation, she also raised her hands.
"Haha... Teachers, you are so funny. Is fifth place so popular?"
This is something Director Huang has never thought of before. After all, in this highly competitive show, getting fifth place is equivalent to landing safely. No one has much confidence in themselves.
"Um...Teacher Jiang Kan, Teacher Janice, and Teacher Zhao Yu, you three, please stop making noises, okay..."
Producer Jiang Linlin also looked at the scene in front of her with both laughter and tears. She smiled bitterly and pressed her hands, signaling everyone to put their hands down.
"hey-hey……"
The eight singers also put down their hands angrily. You looked at me, I looked at you, and in the end they all laughed uncontrollably.
"Okay, no more joking, let's see who is the fifth in this competition..."
Director Huang had clearly read the terms on the envelope, then put down the envelope and looked at everyone with bright eyes. ….
"The singer who won fifth place in this competition, his name is!"
"Teacher Janice, congratulations!"
"Wow!"
Everyone made a sound of surprise!
Everyone looked at Janice in disbelief!
This international superstar only got fifth place?
No, is there any mistake?
"Director Huang, did you see it wrong?"
Liu Yiliang couldn't hold back and asked Director Huang.
"That's right, Teacher Janice did get fifth place."
Director Huang Shengcai did not look at the envelope again, but put his hands behind his back and looked at Liu Yiliang with his usual smiling expression.
"..."
The smile faded from Janice's face.
She felt a sense of absurdity come over her.
Impossible. I, the international superstar Janice, came to Xia Country, a country whose music level is not even considered mainstream internationally, to participate in a singing competition, and could only get fifth place?
Am I dreaming?
She only felt dizzy for a while, and the color on her face faded a bit.
However, the dignity and quality of being an international diva made her dazed for a moment, and then she put a smile on her face again, maintaining an awkward yet polite smile.
"It's incredible..."
Everyone was talking like this, and the competition assistants at Xiangnan Satellite TV were brewing this shocking thing in their minds, and they wanted to rush out immediately to tell reporters about this unimagined result.
"Haha... After all, this is just a business show. Just get the appearance fee. You don't have to argue with them. You don't have to argue with them..."
In Janice's mind, this is the dominant thought now.
But deep in her heart, there was a voice telling her:
"Don't deceive yourself. Jiang Kan is better than you. You have also sung their songs. Is it so difficult to admit that others are better than you?"
However, the superstar's dignity and face made her unwilling to admit this. She could only say that the expression on her face now was a little better than crying.
"Then, we will continue to announce the ownership of the fourth and sixth competing singers."
Director Huang didn't care about the face-to-face socializing between these singers. Anyway, the camera had faithfully recorded everyone's every move.
Every move, every frown, now he just needs to guide.
"The singer who won fourth place in this competition, his name is!"
"Teacher Wang Yuchang, congratulations!"
"Wow!"
Wang Yuchang covered his mouth in disbelief and screamed, forgetting even about maintaining his persona of a cold little prince!
He beat Janice!
He is actually one rank higher than Janice!
"Congratulations, Yu Chang. Let's have a drink later to celebrate!"
"Congratulations, Teacher Wang, fourth place, this is a good ranking!"
"Classmate Xiao Wang, you are so awesome. Among so many masters, you can get fourth place. Congratulations!"
There were people carrying people in sedan chairs, and everyone came up to congratulate the singer with the youngest qualifications (crossed out) among all the singers.
Wang Yuchang, on the other hand, happily and excitedly thanked everyone for their kindness, and made a bow with his hands crossed:….
"No matter what, all the teachers are so flattering. Uncle Kan's songs are all good and flattering!"
After all, he is Jiang Kan’s number one dog-licking (crossed out) fan. At this time, he also knows that his honor comes from Jiang Kan’s songs. This makes the latter feel deeply in love, and also adds a little "I want to". Continue to work hard to learn arranging, and strive to write such great songs by myself in the future!" Determination.
The next ranking announcements were carried out step by step. Liu Mingming won sixth place with Jiang Kan's "Initial Dream", Liu Yiliang won third place with "Like You", and Zhou Yun won seventh place.
Zhao Yu captured the hearts of the audience with his wonderful performance in "Ordinary D" and won the second place.
The unlucky Zhu Huan once again finished eighth. Now in the minds of the audience, the title "Zhu Laoba" was completely confirmed.
"Then, we finally announce the competing singer who won the first place in this issue, which is the last issue of 2022's "Xia Guo Good Singer" competition!"
Director Huang Shengcai had a proud smile on his face. This was the fruit of his preparation for a whole year. The show brought out the popularity of the stars, and the stars also brought out the excellence of the show. Both parties achieved each other's achievements and complimented each other. Everyone in-in, win-win.
"That's it, Teacher Jiang Kan. Congratulations to him for winning first place in this competition!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the prelude of "Nocturne" sounded in the lounge!
The familiar and classic prelude suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, like a depth bomb falling into the seabed, exploding huge waves!
"That's all, that's all... it's not unfair to lose to music like this..."
Janice was still fighting with the voice in her heart.
But at the moment when the prelude to "Nocturne" sounded, persistent and stubborn, she completely broke her guard.
Director Huang is right.
When "Nocturne" comes out, who can compete with it?
Janice only felt the voice in her heart saying:
"I lost. This time, I am convinced that I lost.".
