"I'm constantly disappointed and hopeful
I'll try my luck and share it with you
Nowadays, it’s hard to avoid feeling panic while standing on the stage.
If you want to fly high, you should forget about the horizon.”
If it were "The King of Masked Singer" before the reform, Wang Xuan would never sing "Today" as the first choice. Wang Xuan really likes this song, and there is no denying that it is a very classic song. However, this song is not a hit. It takes a certain amount of experience to understand this song and resonate with it.
When you first listen to it, you don’t know what the song means, but when you listen to it again, you already know the meaning of the song. This sentence is also very appropriate to describe this song. Didn’t Andy also not understand the meaning of this song at first?
In the pre-reform "The King of Masked Singer", if Wang Xuanruo sang "Today" when it was first released, he would probably be eliminated. The reformed "The King of Masked Singer" should not have such a problem. After all, 6 out of 10, do you really not regard the classic song "Today" as a classic?
The song "Today" is just not suitable for solo PK in the first place, but it is perfectly fine in this kind of group pick. At most, it just won't be able to win the lead.
But Wang Xuan never thought about getting the top spot, as long as he can advance, what does it matter if he doesn't get the top spot?
If he could still be eliminated by singing "Today", Wang Xuan would admit it.
No, elimination is impossible. The worst result is to enter the undecided area and compete with the other three in the undecided area for the right to stay on the "King of Masked Singer" stage.
Anyway, on this stage, Wang Xuan cannot be eliminated, and he will not allow himself to be eliminated. Entering the pending area is his bottom line.
On the other side, many audience members off the stage really didn’t understand the song, and they all looked at each other in confusion after hearing the verse part.
Even several judges didn't understand the song for the time being.
"Here I go, the song that Mr. Baihu sang today feels so sad." Wang Banbi said.
"I am constantly disappointed, constantly hoping, and sharing my bitterness with you with a smile... I feel a sense of sadness and helplessness in these lyrics." Li Yiqun expressed his opinion.
"So what kind of song is this? Is it lovelorn?" Liang Xiaoru asked.
"It's not about falling out of love, it's about the bitterness and bitterness of chasing dreams. In fact, the lyrics are already very obvious, such as this sentence, 'Success or failure has some illusions'... and this sentence, 'Why hide in the darkness, suffer and suffer Self-pity' and the phrase 'If you want to fly high, you should forget the horizon'..." said Gu Jiahui.
"After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today.
I have been dreaming about it for a long time and finally realized it
I have a long way to go. Fortunately, you are by my side.
I have been looking forward to it for a long time and finally today
After enduring it for a long time, my dream finally came true
Those unchanging winds and frosts no longer matter
Don’t say you’re tired even if you’re tired.”
"Yes, it's definite. It's a story about chasing dreams." Wang Banbi said.
"Indeed, I have finally realized my dream after a long time, and I have a long way to go. The lyrics should not be too obvious. As for the 'you' in 'I still have you by my side', it is either a fan of the protagonist of the song or his lover." Li Yiqun said.
"So does this song tell Bai Hu's own story? Did he experience a lot of ups and downs in pursuing his dream?" Liang Xiaoru was curious.
"It's possible. Bai Hu's singing is full of sadness, helplessness, exhaustion, and the joy of realizing his dream. I even heard tears of joy in his singing. I feel that there is a high probability that what is written in this song is His own story, otherwise it would be difficult for the emotions in his singing to be so full and complex," Wang Banbi said.
"From a professional point of view, this song "Today" is amazing, and it will definitely become a classic in the future. However, some viewers may not necessarily buy it, because there may not be many people who understand this song, or at least they don't have that kind of experience. It doesn't resonate that way," Gu Jiahui said.
"But Baihu should have no problem advancing because the song is also very nice." Li Yiqun said.
"That's true, I don't mean that Bai Hu can't advance, but that he can't advance with the top card. After all, Bai Hu has never been defeated before. If he can't win the top card, it means that his undefeated myth has been broken." Gu Jiahui said .
"That is indeed a pity. In fact, if everyone can understand this song, I feel that Baihu will have no problem winning the top spot." Li Yiqun nodded.
"I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
After enduring it for a long time, my dream finally came true
Those unchanging winds and frosts no longer matter
Don’t say you’re tired even if you’re tired.”
After Wang Xuan finished singing, the applause was quite warm. The voice of "White Tiger" is still very high.
Enter the review phase.
"Brother Baihu, before commenting, can you answer a question for me? Is this song about your own story?" Wang Banbi asked.
"Almost." Wang Xuan said.
"But it shouldn't be. Would a singer as creatively talented as you encounter so much sadness and helplessness in pursuing your dreams?" Wang Banbi asked curiously.
Wang Xuan was a little silent when he heard this. He thought of his previous life. Is his journey to stardom considered bumpy?
Probably calculated.
After I entered the entertainment industry, the company was unwilling to allocate resources to him. The songs they found for him were all rubbish and were composed by songwriters who were less than an ace. It was almost difficult for him to get out of the entertainment industry.
At that time, he had not learned a musical instrument, and naturally had no originality. He had no choice but to cover other people's popular songs. This is also the company's positioning for him. So much so that after three years in the industry, he was considered an Internet celebrity at best, at the bottom of the entertainment industry, and was subjected to cold looks and ridicule.
Then he fell out with the company and was hidden by the company for three years.
Although Xue Zang successfully terminated the contract after three years, he has wasted six years in vain. He is still a complete newcomer in the entertainment industry and has gained nothing.
But how many six years are there in a person's life?
Especially in the entertainment industry, which is changing very quickly, six years is enough to be fatal. Although Wang Xuan was only 28 years old at that time, he was already considered an older youth in the entertainment industry. Older youths with no potential were almost sentenced to death.
If Wang Xuan hadn't given up on himself when he was hidden, he would have worked harder to learn all kinds of entertainment industry knowledge, learn musical instruments, and hone his acting skills. After the contract was terminated, he competed for the second male lead in a movie with his outstanding acting skills and outstanding appearance, and became famous... Whether there is still Wang Xuan in the entertainment industry is still a question.
All in all, Wang Xuan's stardom has been very bumpy. He has experienced not being favored, being hidden, and being blocked. Everything he has now, except for the gift from the dream, is completely obtained through his own efforts.
Wang Xuan's silence represented acquiescence in Wang Banbi's eyes, so Wang Banbi stopped asking this question. After all, further questioning is no different from exposing someone's scars. He still has this bit of emotional intelligence.
"Brother Baihu, your song "Today" is really good. From a professional perspective, this song "Today" will definitely become a classic in the future. It's just that this song requires experience, which may not be available on this stage. Good results, do you know this?" Gu Jiahui commented.
Wang Xuan nodded.
"Okay, since you know this, I won't say more. In fact, I personally like this song very much. Although I am very successful now, I also encountered a lot of cold treatment. When I first started composing music, I wrote hundreds of songs, and none of them were requisitioned.
But my biggest difficulty is actually not this, but the lack of understanding and support from my family. They told me to face the reality and find a job in a factory. It's just that I was stubborn and persisted, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. So I understand the mood of this song very well. "Gu Jiahui said.
"Hey, Lao Gu, do you still have such experience?" Wang Banbi joked from the side.
"Otherwise? Do you think you can succeed casually?" Gu Jiahui couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"No one can succeed casually. Everyone who persists in their dreams deserves to be respected, and every dream is worthy of embracing and persevering." Wang Xuan interjected.
"That's well said. Mr. Baihu, if it weren't for this stage, for these words, I would have wanted to have an affair with you." Gu Jiahui said.
"I want it too! How can you drink without me?" Wang Banbi said.
"Tch! You go ahead. You are a singer, don't you want your voice?" Gu Jiahui said.
"Lao Gu, you are calling this a double standard. Boss Baihu is also a singer, so he doesn't need a voice?" Wang Banbi complained.
"Okay, I forgot about that."
"It doesn't matter if you drink two drinks occasionally, as long as you don't drink it often." Wang Xuan said.
"Stop, stop, teachers, this is the review session. You are reviewing and reviewing, why did the conversation suddenly turn to drinking?" Seeing that Gu Jiahui and others had strayed from the topic, Li Hao quickly shouted to stop.
The audience was delighted when they heard this.
"Oh, I've finished my review." Gu Jiahui spread his hands.
"Do the other three judges and teachers have any comments?" Li Hao asked.
Wang Banbi, Li Yiqun, and Liang Xiaoru shook their heads at the same time.
Li Yiqun thought for a while and said: "The performance of Mr. Baihu is still perfect, and the song is also a very perfect song. There is nothing to comment on. If I were to give a score, I would give it 9.9 points. The 0.1 point deducted is because I am afraid that Mr. Baihu will be proud."
After Li Yiqun, Gu Jiahui and the other three also gave Wang Xuan high scores, the highest scores among the players currently playing.
In fact, Li Yiqun and others are obviously suspected of canvassing votes for Wang Xuan.
Because they understand that many viewers may not understand Wang Xuan’s song. But from a professional point of view, "Today" is really a very amazing song. The confusion, ups and downs of chasing dreams are all in this song.
So they are willing to give Wang Xuan a platform and help guide the audience to vote for Wang Xuan when they vote. At least it can't be lower than the top three, right?
No, after they scored, many viewers were stunned and couldn't believe it.
"Is Bai Hu's song so amazing? The judges' score was actually higher than that of Bull Demon King and Qiangwei Hao."
"I'm also a little surprised. I originally thought that the song Bai Hu sang today was not very good, but I didn't expect that the score was so high. Moreover, Teacher Gu also said that this song will become a classic in the future..."
"That's because you are too young. This is a song about dreams. Didn't you hear what Bai Hu said? Everyone who persists in their dreams deserves to be respected, and every dream is worth embracing and persevering!"
"White Tiger YYDS, no explanation!"
