The song "Ordinary Road" is about the kind of people who have experienced big storms. It is definitely not suitable for Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan in this world is too smooth. The small setbacks he encountered as a trainee were not even small. The wind and waves don’t even count.
However, Wang Xuan said that it was appropriate to create this song inspired by other people's experiences, and no one could say anything.
"Can you please share what kind of experience led you to create this song? Because I really like this song and really want to know the story in the song." Gu Jiahui said.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just knew a very powerful person who suddenly retired when his reputation was at its peak. The reason is very simple. The pressure of work and emotional breakdown caused his physical and mental collapse at the same time. He has been ill for a long time. He has been depressed for a long time and has always been displeased with everything he looks at. When he was at his lowest, he even thought about giving up his life more than once.
Moreover, he never told anyone, including his family, about his physical and mental condition.
During that time, he didn't want to see anyone and was just trying to redeem himself.
He kept convincing and comforting himself: Everything you think about now is an illusion. The only thing you have to do now is to get over this night safely. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will be a new you. , you will see something new.
By the time he reappeared in the public eye, he had been away for nearly ten years.
After quitting addiction at the peak of his career, he remained silent for nine years without any works or exposure. It was as if he had disappeared.
For nine years, he struggled with his depression. He did not go to the doctor. He read and traveled. Now he has become open-minded, peaceful, takes everything lightly, and works hard to create in ordinary happiness.
He came out successfully.
Compared to his unruly appearance ten years ago, he is more gentle, mature and open-minded. His long hair was cut short, and fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes. Time took away his youth, but it also made him understand that ordinary is the true meaning of the world. Fame and fortune are nothing but external things, fleeting and fleeting.
After he got out of depression, he should not fight with himself, no longer care about the opinions of the outside world, and no longer fight against fame and fortune. Instead, he should treat himself tenderly, be unfazed by favors and humiliations, stay or go without care, and deal with the storm calmly.
I admire him very much, and it was based on his experience that I created this song. I also hope that everyone on the road can have their own good stories to tell on this ordinary road. "Wang Xuan said.
What he shared was naturally Pu Shu’s experience.
In 2003, after releasing his second album "Life is Like a Summer Flower", Pu Shu suddenly retired at the height of his fame, cut off contact with the outside world, and rarely appeared in public after that.
As for the reasons, they are those shared by Wang Xuan, but they may not be all.
In addition to depression, Pu Shu suffered from something else that he was unwilling to share with others. In an interview, he said this: "There are some things that cannot be said, and I am not willing to say them. If in a few years I think I can explain them clearly, and I think if it can be helpful to everyone, I’m willing to say it, and it’s not that mysterious, but I’m not willing to share that part.”
But what Wang Xuan shared was exciting enough. As soon as he finished speaking, the audience gave him a very warm applause.
Several judges also kept applauding.
"It's so well said. The story is wonderful, and the words of Mr. White Tiger are also wonderful. On the way to pursue your dreams, you will definitely experience a lot of hardships and pains along the way, but as long as you keep going, you will definitely see good scenery." Wang Banbi said.
"Boss White Tiger, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your creations are still so amazing. The songs are full of stories and connotations. What's rare is that both lyrics and music are excellent, with an electric piano intro, a light melody, and simple but touching lyrics. ....It’s so awesome, really, a boss!” Gu Jiahui said.
Wang Xuan smiled when he heard this: "Thank you."
The review ends here. Several judges gave Wang Xuan very high scores. In the voting session, Wang Xuan received 495 votes.
Among the 500 audience votes, Wang Xuan received a full 495 votes and only lost 5 votes.
After ten years of silence, Pu Shu announced his return with the song "The Ordinary Road". Wang Xuan bid farewell to "The King of Masked Singer" for nearly half a year, and he announced his return as the king with "The Ordinary Road"!
This result shocked many people and made all the players feel the pressure.
Of course, Star Reacher and the others were under pressure, but they had expected this result. For the first time, King Lanling felt the power of the white tiger up close. It was really strong, much stronger than he imagined.
When he watched "The King of Masked Singer" before, he knew that Bai Hu was very strong, but across the screen, he felt that Bai Hu could be defeated. At least he could fight, but now he is no longer confident.
As for Monkey King, who is about to appear on stage, he is almost crying. He finally understood why the Star Picker Monster and others had told him not to cry for a while. Bai Hu's performance was so explosive, he would definitely be affected if he appeared behind Bai Hu.
Even if it is not affected, the audience's emotions and judgment will be affected. It's as if things between men and women suddenly become boring after they are done. Unless he can perform as well as Bai Hu, he will definitely not be able to ignite the audience's enthusiasm.
But Bai Hu's performance is absolutely perfect, and it's an original song, how can he possibly match it?
Barbie is Q!
Sure enough, after he came on stage, he sang a carefully prepared song. It should be said that his performance was pretty good, at least at his usual level. But after singing, there was sparse applause.
During the review, several judges and teachers gave him great recognition. But in the voting session, he only got 380 votes, a number that he absolutely couldn't accept, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Barbie is Q!
Really Barbie Q!
After the Monkey King, Contestant No. 6 Bai Lian came on stage. She sang a rock song and her performance was very good. It was much better than during the rehearsal. It was considered an extraordinary performance and aroused cheers and applause from the audience.
There is a saying in the music world that you are not afraid of anything but female singers playing rock and roll. Once they get wild, it will be beyond your imagination. Bailian sings rock and roll, full of passionate and wild singing, coupled with wild dance steps. During her performance, you can see many young people in the audience dancing excitedly and getting high with the rhythm.
The four judges were also very capable and gave a lot of unanimous praise and very high praise. Frankly speaking, Bai Lian's performance this time gave them a big surprise. When scoring, several judges unexpectedly gave it a score of 9.7 or above.
This is the highest score obtained by any other player except Bai Hu. Just now, several judges gave Bai Hu a score of 4 9.9, and the 0.1 was deducted because Bai Hu was afraid of being proud.
As for Bai Lian, she got three 9.8s and one 9.7.
The audience was also very considerate. Bai Lian finally got 485 votes, 10 votes behind Bai Hu, but higher than King Ling. Obviously, this score means that Bai Lian has successfully entered the next round.
After Bai Lian, No. 7 Pixiu appeared, and he was also tragic. Bai Lian's extraordinary performance will definitely affect him. In the end, he sang a song that he had carefully prepared for a long time, but only received 440 votes.
"It still doesn't work." Pixiu sighed in his heart. On this stage, his ability is still a little bit behind, at least not as good as those real kings of singers and queens.
With 440 votes, he is currently ranked fourth. It is still possible to advance to the next round, but unfortunately, he probably won't be able to go far.
If he had predicted correctly, Mudan and Prince Lanling would definitely be kings and queens of singers, and they might even be his acquaintances. Even Monkey King is probably a king of singers. To be honest, Monkey King's performance is better than him. The reason why the number of votes is so low is because of Bai Hu's influence.
There are only two places that can advance to the semi-finals. Baihu must have reserved one place. It is too difficult for him to compete with Mudan, King Lanling and others for the other place.
After Pixiu, Orchid No. 8 appears. She sang a song, or adapted a song, and adapted the chorus of a popular song into a drama, which was very good.
Anyway, several judges and teachers all gave very high praise, saying that her adaptation was very imaginative. When grading, she was also given high marks. In the voting session, in the end, Orchid received 460 votes, temporarily ranking fourth.
With only two singers yet to appear, this ranking has actually locked a promotion spot. Of course, the one who advances is not the semi-finals, but the next round of the revival competition.
Emperor Haotian came on the stage and performed reasonably well. Unfortunately, he only received 430 votes in the end, temporarily ranking seventh. has been eliminated.
Tulip, who appeared at the end, performed well, at least better than Emperor Haotian, which can be seen from the audience's reaction. The whole scene was cheering for the tulips and applauded warmly.
Unfortunately, in the end, Tulip received 435 votes, edging out Emperor Haotian and ranking seventh, and was also eliminated.
After Tulip finished singing, the first round of recording results came out.
The votes from high to low are:
White Tiger: 495 votes.
Bai Lian: 485 votes.
King Lanling: 480 votes.
Peony: 472 votes.
Orchid: 455 votes.
Pixiu: 440 votes.
Tulip: 435 votes.
Emperor Haotian: 430 votes.
Monkey King: 380 votes.
Starcatcher: 350 votes.
The top six, White Tiger, White Lotus, Lanling King, Peony, Orchid, and Pixiu, three men and three women, advance to the second round of the rematch. Emperor Haotian, Monkey King, Star Picker, and Tulip were eliminated.
However, unlike the regular season, since elimination in the first round of the rematch is elimination, there is no relegation battle, so the players do not need to reveal their faces after being eliminated. In other words, you can choose to reveal your face, or you can choose not to reveal your face.
In the end, only Emperor Haotian and Tulip chose to reveal their faces. The Great Emperor Haotian is Ding Wei, the A-list singer of the Rays. Tulip is the Zhizhi of Star Media.
The other two eliminated contestants did not reveal their faces. The Monkey King has a good face and cannot afford to lose this person. The star-catching monster has already been revealed during the regular season. It's not that I can't afford to lose this person, but the number of votes is too low, which is a bit embarrassing.
As for Ding Wei and Zhizhi, they both regretted the loss. They were just a little short of advancing, so they had nothing to worry about.
Ding Wei and Zhizhi are both old friends of the audience and have participated in the regular season before, so after they were unveiled, the audience gave them very warm applause.
In short, the first round of the Easter match ended like this. The second round of recording started a week later.
After the recording of the program, Wang Xuan returned to the Magic City early the next morning.
It's been a few days, and the company still has a lot of things waiting for him.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Wang Xuan came to the company. As soon as he arrived at the company, Li Tao came to Wang Xuan's office.
"Brother Xuan, where have you been these days?" Li Tao asked.
"Something has happened these days. Didn't I say hello to you before? If you need anything, you can call me." Wang Xuan said.
"It's mainly not a big deal. The contract between Iron Lung Singer Lin Zhixiang and Huayi has expired, and he is now a free agent. Did you know?"
"Know."
"The outside world thinks that Lin Zhixiang has passed away, but I feel that he is still at his peak. At least his singing skills have not declined at all, but have become more mature and stable. The reason why this illusion is caused to the outside world is that Huayi refuses to It’s because of the resources given to him. After all, Lin Zhixiang hasn’t released a new song for a long time, and he hasn’t held a concert for a long time. He even has very few commercial endorsements.”
"That's right, Brother Tao, heroes think alike."
"Yes, Brother Xuan, I want to sign Lin Zhixiang. I think with Brother Xuan's ability, coupled with Lin Zhixiang's strength, Lin Zhixiang's second youth will definitely not be a problem. What do you think? If you think it is possible, I will go Contact Lin Zhixiang’s agent.”
"Okay. But there is no need to contact me. In fact, I have contacted Lin Zhixiang and we have made an agreement. He will come to Tianhai to sign a contract on the 15th." Wang Xuan said.
"Oh! It seems we have the same idea." Li Tao gave Wang Xuan a thumbs up.
Wang Xuan smiled.
From here we can see that Li Tao is really capable and has a unique vision. When the outside world generally believed that Lin Zhixiang was not good, Li Tao could see the essence of Lin Zhixiang's declining popularity at a glance, which is really rare.
"By the way, haven't you been contacting some TV stations with the sample clips of "Staying Together" in the past few days? How about it?" Wang Xuan asked.
"It's not ideal. I went to two TV stations, namely Xiangjiang Satellite TV and Yangcheng Satellite TV, but couldn't reach an agreement. After Xiangjiang Satellite TV heard that the premiere rights of "Welcome to the School Together" had been sold, they were not even willing to negotiate. , I didn’t even watch the samples.”
"It's normal. After all, Xiangjiang TV is one of the five major TV stations, and it has been very strong in recent years. It is almost catching up with Yanjing TV, so naturally it won't want leftovers." Wang Xuan said.
"Yes. The person in charge of them also means the same thing. If we at Tianhai want to cooperate with them for a TV series or something in the future, we should find them as soon as possible. Otherwise, we don't have to come to the door."
Wang Xuan nodded: "But why did you think of contacting Yangcheng Satellite TV? Yangcheng Satellite TV is famous for its Buddhist culture. The economy of Southern Guangdong Province is very strong, ranking first in China, but the presence of Yangcheng Satellite TV is even worse than that of Guangxi Province. It’s not as good. It wants a variety show but not a variety show, it wants a TV series but not a TV series. All that’s left are current news programs such as Today’s Focus.”
"Pfft! Brother Xuan, your summary is really vivid. In fact, I was just passing by. The original purpose was not Yangcheng Satellite TV, but Shencheng Satellite TV. I just watched Yangcheng Satellite TV and there were no good TV dramas, so I went to test it out. The result was... Tsk tsk, Buddha TV really deserves its reputation. As soon as their person in charge heard that I was selling TV series to them, they wanted nothing to do with me.
But in the end, because of my sharp tongue, they still watched the sample and were interested. Unfortunately, they were only willing to pay 350,000 per episode. "
"Amazing! It's amazing! Yangcheng TV is also very stingy. You can actually get them to pay 350,000 for an episode. It's amazing." Wang Xuan praised.
"No, Brother Xuan is the one who is great. The TV series you made is great, otherwise why would they be willing to pay for it? I will only play a supporting role at best." Li Tao said.
"What about Shencheng TV? What should I say?"
"Shenyang TV is still considering it. I liked the sample after seeing it, but they only offered a price of 400,000 per episode. I want 600,000 per episode. They said they would consider it."
