At this moment, the entire scene was filled with a cold and lonely atmosphere, and everyone was immersed in Bai Hu's singing. It was difficult to extricate themselves from loneliness, loneliness, regret, and coldness.
"Hey!" After a long time, no one knew who sighed.
And this sigh seemed to light a fuse, and the entire scene suddenly became noisy.
"White Tiger!" "White Tiger!" "White Tiger!"...
Many people shouted Wang Xuan's codename heartily and gave him very warm applause. As the camera looked, you could see tears in the eyes of many people. Obviously, these are people with stories who were infected by "Lonely Sandbank".
"Baihu, I actually don't want to comment on your song, because I probably won't be able to compose such a song in my life. But I still have to comment. If I heard it right, the soundtrack of this song should not be pure. An ancient Chinese pop soundtrack?" Wang Banbi said.
"It's definitely not a pure ancient Chinese pop soundtrack. It should have musical elements from other countries. It feels a bit like the sitar, but I'm not familiar with the sitar. I don't know, right?" Gu Jiahui commented, looking at Wang Xuan.
"Actually, it's a guitar. Of course, it's not wrong to say sitar, because I don't have a sitar here, so I can only use the guitar to interpret the tune of the sitar." Wang Xuan said.
"Wait a minute, what is a sitar? Why have I never heard of it?" Li Yiqun asked like a curious baby.
"Sitar, also called sitar, is a plucked string instrument from India. It is also a very important and popular musical instrument in Tianzhu. It is a wooden long-necked lute with a timbre that is like complaining, melodious and tortuous, as if it has charm. Magic. This instrument has only been used in popular music since the 1950s, but it is still rare. It is mainly popular in northern Tianzhu and Batie. So it is normal that you have not heard of it. What I am more curious about is that the guitar can Can you play the tune of the sitar?" Gu Jiahui asked.
"It's possible, but it's definitely not as pure as the tune of the sitar. The sitar is somewhat similar to the guitar, but the row of protruding keys on the side must be more difficult to play than the guitar." Wang Xuan said.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Bai Hu, have you been exposed? No one will believe you if you say you are not a big shot now, because your accomplishments on musical instruments are actually deeper than Lao Gu." Wang Banbi clicked his tongue in surprise.
"It's not just musical instrument skills. Isn't Mr. Baihu's composition skills better than mine? How many high-quality original songs are there?" Gu Jiahui said.
"I don't dare to say this, even though I feel the same way." Wang Banbi said.
"Come on? Is there anything else you dare not say? Speaking of which, Mr. Baihu, the title of your song always seems familiar to me. Do you have any explanation?" Gu Jiahui asked.
"The title of the song is taken from a poem in Su Dongpo's ancient poem "Bu Shuanzi": The missing moon hangs on the sparse tung trees, which breaks people's initial tranquility. Sometimes I see lonely people coming and going alone, misty and solitary shadows. I get startled but look back, hating that there is no one. Save. I picked up all the cold branches and refused to live on them. The lonely sandbank is cold." Wang Xuan replied.
"Wow, this word fits the mood of your song so well. The boss is so awesome, his talent is really overflowing." Wang Banbi praised.
"I am ashamed of myself." Gu Jiahui said.
.....
Wang Xuan stepped down, and Erha, who was about to appear, was speechless and choked. It’s like saying: “Why am I always the one who gets hurt?”
Erha knew he was finished. There is no hope.
But the Enchantress is also finished, which actually makes Erha feel a lot better.
If you want to die, let’s all die together!
With this idea in mind, Erha didn't struggle too much, not even willing to take out the treasure from the bottom box. Only sang a passable song.
Voting session.
In the end of this round, Wang Xuan got 210 votes, and the total number of votes in the two rounds was 515.
The Enchantress received 180 votes, and the two rounds totaled 285 votes.
Erha got 110 votes, and the two rounds combined got 200 votes.
After two rounds, Wang Xuan holds a 230-vote lead, and it can be said that he has basically locked in the singing king. Enchantress still has some hope, but Erha's comeback is only theoretically possible.
After a short break, enter the third game.
Erha was the first to appear. In order to save some face, he still threw out a rocking song, and there were bursts of applause at the venue.
But Erha is destined to be tragic.
Because the enchantress hasn’t given up yet.
The word "give up" does not exist in the enchantress's dictionary. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will try her best.
The Enchantress sang a song, a truly rocking song: "Men Don't Cry".
The general theme of this song is: Men should be strong. No matter how much pressure they bear, how much pain, how much grievance, how much hurt, they can't cry, because a man can't cry or let others see it. No matter how painful or tiring your wounds are, you must hold on.
This is a very classic song in China, originally sung by a king.
She once again used her true voice for this song, which is very close to the true voice of her original voice, which can be said to be a great sacrifice. For the sake of a glimmer of hope, Enchantress can't control that much.
Anyway, the scene was very excited, and several judges stood up and applauded the enchantress crazily.
"It's amazing! This song has been adapted by Enchantress and exudes special charm. It's not even better than the original singer, but at least it has its own merits." Wang Banbi praised.
"Moreover, I finally know who the boss is," Wang Banbi added after praising her.
"The pronunciation area of her song is very close to her original voice. If you still can't guess it, then I can only say that you are a fool." Gu Jiahui said.
"...Bah! Do you blame me? Who would have thought that this person would actually come to participate in "The King of Masked Singer"?" Wang Banbi said.
"..." In fact, the two music critics on the jury also guessed the identity of the enchantress and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Reveal the enchantress’s identity? That's very offensive.
Unlike Gigi Gigi before, Gigi Gigi is only a second-tier singer, and her identity will be revealed, and they can afford to offend her. But the enchantress's position is too scary. Revealing the identity of the enchantress, it would be okay if the enchantress doesn't argue with them, but if she does, they really can't afford it.
There was no other way, so in the end the two of them had to look at Gu Jiahui for help.
Gu Jiahui naturally knew what the two meant, and whispered: "Pretend not to know. There is no need to take this show too seriously, just provide a wonderful game for the audience."
"Understood." The two music critics breathed a sigh of relief.
After the enchantress finished singing, the entire scene was chanting her code name. Gu Jiahui and several judges praised the performance of Enchantress.
When Enchantress sang this song, Wang Xuan in the studio shook his head. He recruited an assistant from the column team, and in front of Erha, he said something that shocked Erha: "Sorry, I want to change a song."
"No, Mr. Baihu, are you changing the song when it's almost time to go on stage?" the column assistant asked. Before the restructuring, he would have agreed to Baihu's request without hesitation, but now it's a live soundtrack.
"Isn't it possible?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I don't know if it's okay. Teacher Baihu, has the song you're going to change been rehearsed with the band before?" the assistant asked.
"No. I decided on the song I wanted to sing at the last minute."
"No. Baihu, I know you are the boss, but you just decided to change the song now, and you haven't rehearsed with the band yet? What on earth do you think?" Erha interrupted, a little confused.
"Yes, there is no arrangement and the band is not prepared. Who will accompany you when you go on stage like this? There is no rehearsal! This is too risky! Otherwise, let's not change it, right?" the assistant suggested.
At this time, several band members from Tianhai Entertainment also came over. The captain was a little worried and said: "Teacher Baihu, are we dragging you down? Otherwise..."
"Don't think too much, it's not your problem, it's just that I suddenly want to sing a song." Wang Xuan said.
"There's no soundtrack..."
"Just give me a piano. Although it's a little simple, it should be fine." Wang Xuan said.
"..." Erha was about to complain, but suddenly remembered that Bai Hu had done such a thing before, and after thinking about it, he swallowed the words in his mouth.
"....Please wait a moment, I'll ask for instructions."
The assistant went to ask for instructions.
When Zhang Zheng and Su Yichang knew that Wang Xuan planned to change songs temporarily, they were a little stunned.
"No, I decided to change the song when I was about to go on stage, and I haven't rehearsed with the band yet. Isn't it a bit risky?" Su Yichang said.
"This is not a question of whether you have rehearsed with the band, but a question of Teacher Baihu's intention to play and sing by himself. It is indeed a bit risky to say it, but Mr. Su, don't forget Baihu's identity." Zhang Zheng said.
"... Then promise him?"
"Yes. Promise him. In fact, several of the songs that Teacher Bai Hu rehearsed before are very good. At least the soundtrack is not inferior to the song "Men Don't Cry" arranged by Enchantress in my opinion. But since Bai Hu plans to change the song before the battle, he wants to come I am definitely very confident, and I am now looking forward to the song he will bring us." Zhang Zhengdao.
Wang Xuan's request was granted.
After the Enchantress stepped down, Wang Xuan appeared.
What shocked everyone at the scene was that Bai Hu was the only one on the stage, and none of the band members who had previously cooperated with Bai Hu were present. And, of course, there's a piano.
"This is?"
"It's like this. Teacher Baihu plans to change a song temporarily, but this song has not been rehearsed with the band before, so this song is played and sung by Teacher Baihu alone." Host Li Hao explained in time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire scene was in an uproar.
"Hiss! Isn't it? Playing and singing by yourself? Isn't this too risky?" Wang Banbi took a breath.
"But Boss Baihu has actually done this before." Liang Xiaoru said.
"It's different. In the past, everyone played the soundtrack, but Mr. Baihu played and sang by himself, which actually took advantage of it, because the live performance is undoubtedly better. But after the restructuring, there are now many musicians playing with others when singing, and the instruments are not "Sir, if Baihu chooses to play and sing by himself, he will be at a disadvantage with a single instrument." Li Yiqun explained at the side.
"I can only say that a boss is a boss. People with high skills are bold." Gu Jiahui sighed with emotion.
The stage lights suddenly dimmed.
When the light came on again, Wang Xuan was already sitting in front of the piano.
He thought a lot before starting to sing.
In this rapidly developing society, men bear countless pressures, including family pressure, work pressure, and survival pressure.
Many times, no matter how much suffering, anger, or cold looks a man suffers on the outside, he will choose to swallow it inside. After returning home, I always present a smiling face to my family, as if nothing had happened.
But this doesn’t mean that men don’t feel bitter and tired.
Because men are also human beings, they also have emotions and perceptions, they can get tired, exhausted, and have negative emotions.
A man is neither iron nor strong, nor wood, but a person of flesh and blood. When he is injured, he will feel pain, when he is sad, he will want to cry, and when he is tired, he will want to find a warm embrace and take a good rest.
When I get home, I act relaxed and nonchalant, just because I don’t want to worry my family and don’t want to pass on my stress and negative emotions to my family. But it just doesn’t mean that men have to swallow all the pain, all the tiredness, all the sadness and exhaustion, and have to endure it silently.
So why can’t men cry?
Why!
Tell me why men can't cry?
Today Wang Xuan will sing a song to tell the world that men can cry!
This is also the reason why Wang Xuan decided to change songs before the battle.
The piano sounds.
The sound of flowing water filled the whole place.
The guests were stunned! The audience was stunned! There was sadness in the sound of the piano, and that kind of sadness made the whole place quiet!
The light floated on Bai Hu's body, attracting everyone's attention.
At this moment, the white tiger seems to be glowing and has its own halo.
Wang Xuan played the piano selflessly, and the flowing melodies played out one by one. There was sadness in the notes, shouts and roars.
Sadly, in this society, the words that men use to comfort themselves when they are tired are gradually taken for granted, so that gradually there is no place to release stress, and even crying is considered wrong.
Before this, none of the songs told men that they could shed tears and cry. So Wang Xuan wants to shout, roar, and speak for men through music.
After the prelude, Wang Xuan’s deep singing voice sounded:
"When I was young
People around me tell me not to cry
after i mature
Say to the mirror that I can’t regret it
Wandering around in a range
The heart keeps reincarnating on the line of life
People sleep with masks on day and night
I'm exhausted"
The song Wang Xuan is singing now is called "It's not a sin for a man to cry." This song was sung by Wa Jai in another time and space, and it is a masterpiece among Wa Jai's masterpieces.
This is a song that speaks for men, a song that roars for men. Just like this world, in another time and space, before the song "Men Cry, It's Not a Sin" came out, none of the songs told men that it was okay to cry.
It seems that it has become the consensus of the entire society that men should not cry, and that men should bleed without shedding tears. So gradually, many men don't even know how to cry anymore, as if they have lost this skill.
"Obviously when I'm crying
But I forgot how to shed tears in my eyes
When you clearly regret it
But I forgot how to regret in my heart
The invisible pressure makes me so tired
It's starting to feel a little difficult to breathe.
I slowly started to let go of my defenses, then regretted and shed tears slowly.”
The piano sound suddenly became urgent, and everyone knew that the climax was coming. But in fact, before the climax came, many people were already stunned.
Li Yiqun was stunned.
Wang Banbi opened his mouth.
Liang Xiaoru felt goosebumps all over her body!
Gu Jiahui had already stood up because he had a premonition that the next climax of this song might shock and move everyone.
“It’s not a sin for a man to cry, cry, cry
No matter how strong a person is, he has the right to be tired
If there is only heartbreak behind the smile
Why do you have to be so miserable as a human being?
Men, cry, cry, cry, it's not a sin
Taste the tears of long separation
Even if it rains, it is still beautiful. Why not seize this opportunity?
Cry once.”
Sure enough, at the climax, when Bai Hu's song full of exhaustion, loneliness, shouting, sadness and helplessness sounded, the whole scene had one comment and everyone stood up, their eyes filled with shock.
At this moment, countless spectators, both men and women, were looking at the stage crazily, recalling Bai Hu's singing just now, recalling the lyrics in Bai Hu's singing, and felt that their hearts had been stabbed hard!
