Chapter 103 Battle Royale
A divine song usually refers to a song with a catchy style, easy-to-single melody, simple and clear rhythm, which can produce a "brainwashing" effect on people.

"The Most Dazzling National Style" is indeed a divine song.

And why is this song like this?

Because in terms of melody, the tune of "The Most Dazzling National Style" adopts the pentatonic scale of traditional Chinese music, namely gong, shang, jue, zhi, and yu, 12356, and there is no heptatonic scale, namely "1234567" and "4" in do, re, mi, fa, so, lasi, and do, 7.

Moreover, the overall melody progression is mostly step-like with a gentle rise and fall, which not only reduces the difficulty of singing, but also makes it easy to remember and catchy.

In terms of lyrics, almost every line of "The Most Dazzling National Style" ends with the rhyme ai or uai, making the whole song catchy.

In terms of rhythm, it is also the simplest and most cheerful 2/4 beat (/ beat).

These many features combined together give "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" a mysterious magic.

If you listen to it several times, you will memorize it uncontrollably and it will be deeply rooted in your mind. Once you start listening, you will enter the automatic play mode and can't stop listening.

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my heart"

"Fill the wine and let you stay"

"stay!"

“Always singing the most dazzling folk style”

“It is the most beautiful posture in the whole sky”

The simple melody, simple lyrics and simple beat do not mean that the song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" is simple.

In terms of arrangement, "The Most Exciting National Style" incorporates a lot of national elements, which is actually also reflected in the lyrics.

For example, Feng Shiqi sang the following passage:
"Yo la la la ha la bai"

"Ila sola hala bela"

It is a folk song from the Gaoshan ethnic minority.

These two lines of lyrics that were difficult to understand made the audience's eyes brighter.

Judging from Yoyo's tone, this might be the language of some ethnic minority!

"I hear the moving music in your heart"

“Going on the stage in the sky”

Feng Shiqi seemed to have no breath for her high note, and when she reached this point, she and Bai Xingjian began to walk to the back of the stage, leaving the center of the stage to the dancers.

A very dynamic interlude sounded.

At this moment, many audience members could no longer hold back their emotions and started dancing along with the dancers in the center of the stage.

The live broadcast room was in an uproar, with comments filling the screen like snowflakes.

"Oh my god! This scene is so exciting! What a large-scale disco scene!"

"Ahhh! I really want to go!!!"

"This is such a great song to sing and dance to! Yoyo is such a great guy!!!"

"I originally came here to listen to 'In the Name of the Father', but now I'm swaying to the melody. What's going on?"

"As a medical student, I just want to say that this song 'The Most Dazzling National Style' is really suitable for cardiopulmonary resuscitation!"

"Stop rolling around, bro! Take a break!"

"Rest? I haven't even finished memorizing Surgery yet, what's the point of taking a rest?"

Tutor's seat.

Except for Lin Qingying who had watched the rehearsal stage, the other mentors had different and complicated expressions.

While watching the stage, Xu Wenzhou shook his head and sighed from time to time.

Gu Zetao's eyes widened, he could be the spokesperson for KISS ME.

Qiao Xi was already waving his hands and swaying to the rhythm while sitting on the sofa.

As for Suning, he always looked like a robot, but a gleam of light would flash in his eyes from time to time.

At this moment, the interlude ended, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi returned to the center of the stage to continue to deepen everyone's impression of "The Most Dazzling National Style".

"There's no comparison. This creative ability is simply incomparable."

"As expected of the man who wrote "In the Name of the Father", this song "The Most Dazzling National Style" is also a masterpiece!"

"It's so exciting to listen to it, it makes me want to feat this song and rap a bit."

"Bai Xingjian still needs you to rap on his feat? Is that right for him? Is that right for him? Is that right for him?"

"I don't deserve it, I can't stop talking!"

"Ye Nan, another bottle of whiskey, let's get high today!"

In a bar in a county town, Xu Yang and his group were watching the live broadcast of "New Era of Heavenly Group" and expressing their feelings constantly.

"Bai Xingjian's singing skills are really good, this live performance is not compromised at all!"

"And he's pretty handsome! If he concentrates on rap, I don't think we'll have a chance in the rap world."

"God! You are so unfair! Where's the wine? Ye Nan! Quick, pour me some!"

"Brother Yang, what do you think?"

"Pour me a glass of wine too. I'll drink while I watch."

Xu Yang was a little depressed. He just looked at Bai Xingjian's stage, and ideas kept popping up in his mind.

What would happen if dialect rap was integrated with these ethnic elements?

At this time, Feng Shiqi's voice on the screen faded away, replaced by the sound of dulcimer like the sound of spring water.

Xu Yang's eyes lit up and his heart was shocked.

He felt as if he had grasped something elusive.

Soon, a voice that shocked him even more sounded quietly.

In the center of the stage, a man in black ethnic costume was playing the suona, known as the "king of musical instruments", with all his might.

The penetrating and bright sound of the suona surprised many listeners.

"Suona?!"

"Holy crap! No way! I actually saw a suona on this stage! Yoyo brother, you are really worthy of me!"

"When the suona sounds, it's worth a ton of gold. It's either ascension to heaven or a wedding. But it seems like there's no wedding at this scene?"

"What the hell is in Yoyo's head?!"

There is an interlude in "The Most Dazzling National Style" which is a suona solo. It is not long, only a dozen seconds.

The momentum of this suona performance was relatively soft and cheerful, and it did not fully display the charm of the suona, so the audience was only slightly surprised for a short while before returning to normal.

However, the atmosphere in the studio became more and more heated due to the singing of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

Soon, all the accompaniment sounds disappeared quietly, and a woman wearing a cheongsam and holding a pipa appeared on the side of the stage.

Amid the beautiful sound of the pipa, Bai Xingjian raised the microphone and injected soul into the song:
"I hear the moving sound of nature in your heart"

"Suddenly, like a spring breeze, peach blossoms bloom all over my face"

"I can't help but pick it, I can't help but pick it"

"I am waiting for you with my heart open~Token~Token~"

Bai Xingjian's voice during this rap was very gentle, which touched many listeners.

But when everyone was surprised by the change in Bai Xingjian's tone, an even more unexpected voice quietly rang out.

"you are the most beautiful cloud in my sky"

"Let me keep you here with my heart"

The light and clear voice of a little girl almost broke the expectations of all the audience.

Is it abrupt?
It's a bit abrupt, but not too abrupt, giving people a just right feeling.

This childish voice came from an innocent little girl, the daughter of a good friend of Queen Lin. She was 9 years old at the time and a loyal fan of Fenghuang Yufei.

The children's singing ended, and Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi began the final chorus.

"Singing the most dazzling folk style leisurely"

"Let love sweep away all the dust"

"I know!"

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my heart"

"Pour the wine in for you to stay."

"stay!"

“Always singing the most dazzling folk style”

"It is the most beautiful posture in the entire sky!"

When the song ended, the singing and melody came to an abrupt end.

However, the audience was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere until a few seconds later, when warm applause and cheers broke out.

“What a joyful song this is!”

"Yeah, yeah! The atmosphere is just like Chinese New Year!"

"It ended so suddenly! I haven't heard enough!"

"Haven't you heard enough? The melody of this song has been playing in my mind on a loop - You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky~"

"You are not alone!"

The sounds from the audience rose and fell, as if a feast was being held.

GoldenCold, who was waiting in the waiting area at the edge of the stage, saw this scene and all three of them showed helpless expressions on their faces.

Bai Xingjian really knows how to mobilize the audience's emotions!
The atmosphere is so exciting now, who wouldn’t vote for them?

All I can say is that we will still compete.

On the stage, Sanshui began to take control and entered the mentor's commentary session.

The first person to make comments was naturally the team mentor, Queen Lin.

She smiled and clapped, "This is a happy song! You performed very well! The atmosphere was great too! It was a perfect stage!"

As the team mentor of Fenghuang Yufei, Lin Qingying didn't say much.

When it was Xu Wenzhou's turn to comment, Sanshui suddenly asked a question: "The theme of this round of competition is [ethnicity]. In the Xinghuo live broadcast room, many netizens said that Fenghuang Yufei's song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" only mentioned the theme in the title, and the rest of the song is not [ethnic] at all. In this regard, mentor Xu Wenzhou, what do you think?"

This question of Sanshui made many people suddenly realize.

"It seems so. The atmosphere of 'The Most Dazzling National Style' is indeed very cheerful, but isn't it a bit off topic?"

"The lyrics of this song are so simple. Apart from the few lines 'the coolest ethnic style', the rest of the lyrics have nothing to do with ethnicity!" "Bai Xingjian is still young."

"Superficial! Your ideas are so superficial!"

"You're commenting on a song without even understanding it? Where does your confidence come from?"

Many listeners were discussing the issue, with different opinions.

Xu Wenzhou pondered for a moment and said, "This song not only mentions the ethnic group in the title, but also in the lyrics and music. Especially the music, I think everyone can hear a lot of traditional musical instruments while listening to it, right?"

At this point, Xu Wenzhou made a small joke: "The most obvious ones are the yangqin, suona and pipa. After all, these instruments have dedicated players on the stage, so everyone should have the deepest impression of them."

There was laughter at the scene.

Xu Wenzhou looked at Fenghuang Yufei on the stage and continued, "And if I heard correctly, Feng Shiqi also sang two lines of Gaoshan folk songs in the song. This is what I like very much, and it is also what I like about Bai Xingjian. This guy often uses our country's traditional culture in his songs, and I like it very much!"

Xu Wenzhou gave Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi a thumbs up.

This scene made all the members of Xu Wenzhou's team jealous.

Director Xu never said such words to them.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were flattered and bowed slightly to express their gratitude.

Xu Wenzhou concluded with a smile: "So is this song ethnic? I can only say it is very ethnic! Audiences who can't tell can go and study it carefully. This song will bring you a lot of surprises."

As Xu Wenzhou said, "The Most Exciting National Style" incorporates a lot of national elements.

Although it is not easy to tell from the lyrics, the most important part of a song is not just the lyrics, but also the melody.

Many national elements, such as the drums of Guangdong lion dance, loud gongs, a heart-wrenching piece of erhu and suona, are integrated into the song "The Most Dazzling National Style", waiting to be discovered by countless listeners.

The camera turned to Qiao Xi, who commented with a smile in her eyes: "Your performance was so exciting! The melody of this song is all in my mind now. Bai Xingjian, you are really good at composing music!"

These words resonated with countless netizens, and everyone was posting comments crazily, as if only in this way could they vent the excitement, excitement and other emotions in their hearts.

Backstage center.

Hong Yang looked at the live broadcast data and his brows were filled with joy, his face beaming with happiness.

The time when Fenghuang Yufei appeared was already at the end of the live broadcast, which was a low period when various data gradually declined.

However, the song "The Most Dazzling National Style" sung by the two of them directly pulled the data back.

Not only did it pull back, it even broke the new high of today's live broadcast data, with more than 260 million people online and a popularity value of more than 9800 million, about to break million.

Although it failed to break the highest data record since the program was launched, it has broken the record for the end of the live broadcast.

Hong Yang couldn't imagine how explosive the live broadcast data would be if the Fenghuang Yufei's stage and the mentor's stage were arranged together in the finals.

By then, maybe he can really become the longest river and the highest mountain in the variety show live broadcast industry!
……

After Qiao Xi finished speaking eloquently about praising Fenghuang Yufei, the camera turned to Suning.

He still said unchanged: "Xixi is right!"

The audience burst into laughter again.

At this time, the camera turned to Gu Zetao.

As the opponent of Lin Qingying's team, he was left to comment at the end.

But how could Gu Zetao, who already knew the result, be in the mood to comment?
Just like "KING" was crushed by "In the Name of the Father", the song "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" was still crushed by "The Most Dazzling National Style".

Are these two songs comparable?

There is still some significance, but it is not very significant.

So Gu Zetao just forced a smile and said a few polite words before ending the segment.

Then, GoldenCold returned to the stage and stood in the center of the stage with Fenghuang Yufei.

Compared with Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi who had bright smiles on their faces, Li Zhenxi, Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun could only be described as expressionless.

If it weren't for their good mental qualities, they would probably be crying now.

How can this be called a vote? This is clearly a public execution.

Moreover, when Li Zhenxi thought about the harsh words he had said to Bai Xingjian before, he felt like his toes were digging into the ground.

How did I say those words to Bai Xingjian at that time?
Li Zhenxi's mental activities are unusually active.

With Sanshui's order, the scene officially entered the voting stage.

The originally dynamic background music during the voting phase had become overshadowed by the appearance of "The Most Dazzling National Style", but this did not affect the audience's enthusiasm for voting.

On the big screen, the votes for GoldenCold and Phoenix Flying rose alternately.

Although they already knew that they had a high chance of not winning, Li Zhenxi and Wang Yaqi couldn't help but look back at the screen, hoping for a miracle.

But the miracle did not happen again.

The final voting result was somewhat cruel, with Fenghuang Yufei defeating GoldenCold by a huge margin of 55 votes.

Sanshui announced loudly: "Let us give a warm round of applause to congratulate Fenghuang Yufei! Congratulations to Lin Qingying's team for defeating Gu Zetao's team with a score of 3:1 in the second round of the mentor team PK match!"

Applause broke out and the audience cheered, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.

When some are happy, others are sad. When all the members of the four mentor teams came to the stage, Sanshui said in a slightly low voice:

"According to the competition rules, today's losers, Team Xu Wenzhou and Team Gu Zetao, need to eliminate one team each. I believe the two mentors already have the answer in mind.

Next, please invite mentors Xu Wenzhou and Gu Zetao to announce the groups that will be eliminated according to the order of performance. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the losing team couldn't help but feel a "whistling wind and cold Yishui River".

Of course, this only appears to be the case in the eyes of the audience.

Because everyone actually knows who will leave and who will stay.

In the end, Xu Wenzhou's team eliminated the Chenzhong combination, and Gu Zetao's team eliminated the Dududu combination.

At this point, the number of combinations of the four major mentor teams has returned to the same starting line, all four.

Seeing this result, many audience members and netizens laughed.

"The production team of 'New Era of Heavenly Group' is really fair."

"Program team: Our main goal is fairness and justice!"

"This feels... more fake than our double championship in The Rap of China."

"Farewell, your pair of champions look fake at first glance, but this one is at least somewhat acceptable."

"That's right. This kind of thing really depends on peers to set off."

"Morning Bell and Dududu should be very depressed, right? After all, they were eliminated before they even had a chance to perform on stage today. Their makeup today was really in vain."

"Indeed! The competition system designed by the production team is actually quite unreasonable. Even if they are going to be eliminated, they should at least let them finish their performance on stage before being eliminated. They spent so much time on the live broadcast just to say a few words before leaving?"

"I really don't understand how the program team is doing this."

"This is actually not bad, the next door "New Rap" also has this kind of operation."

"It's not just 'New Rap', there are many other shows that have this kind of operation. It can only be said that the production team does not treat all the contestants as human beings."

"So... where isn't this the case?"

"..."

Some viewers felt sorry for the two groups that were eliminated today.

Just as they said, the two groups Chen Zhong and Dududu were eliminated directly in today's live broadcast without even performing on stage.

The reason is actually very simple. Today is a 4v4 combination. Xu Wenzhou's team and Gu Zetao's team still have 5 combinations, so naturally one combination will be on the list.

The groups that were given a bye were mostly the weaker groups, and the instructors certainly wanted to keep the stronger groups, which led to this result.

After the members of Morning Bell and Dududu gave their farewell speeches, Sanshui began to announce the competition rules for the next live broadcast.

"There will be no mentor team PK competition next week."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the mentors and members of the mentor teams lit up.

There is no need to conduct the mentor team PK competition. Does that mean that no group will be eliminated in the next live broadcast?

The program crew still has some conscience!

Finally I know how to give them some slack!

However, this is not the case.

What Sanshui said next not only shattered the contestants' fantasies, but also dealt them a heavy blow.

"Next, we will enter the mentor team battle royale phase!"

When Bai Xingjian heard the word "Battle Royale", the first thing that came to his mind was a game from Earth.

Good luck, let’s eat chicken tonight!
——PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

The rules of this game are very cruel. You can only win by killing all enemies.

Will the program team also want to implement this kind of rule next week?
Bai Xingjian suddenly had a bad feeling.

This is also the case for many players. The word "battle royale" does not sound very auspicious.

Under the expectant, nervous and anxious gazes of the audience, netizens in the live broadcast room, mentors and many group members, Sanshui said in an orderly manner:
"During the next live broadcast, the studio will welcome 1000 audience members. At that time, the four major mentor teams will send groups to perform in turn. After each group's performance, the audience will vote.

There will be one mentor team, four combinations, and four votes.

In other words, the four mentor teams will conduct a total of sixteen votes.

Finally, the votes for the combinations to which the mentor team belongs are added together, and the mentor team with the highest total number of votes successfully breaks out of the battle royale, and no combination will be eliminated.

The remaining three mentor teams failed to break through the battle royale, and the team with the least number of votes was directly eliminated."

After Sanshui announced the rules, there was an uproar in the studio, and the Xinghuo live broadcast room also exploded.

"The production team is being inhumane! They want to eliminate three groups at once!"

"Oh my god! Up to now, the groups that remain on the stage are basically the elite ones! In the next live broadcast, only one mentor team will not be eliminated. I'm afraid the other three teams will have to put on a sad show?"

"The relationship between the team members was just established and it was destroyed. I can only say that the production team is still trying to create a good show effect."

"Hahahaha, there are 1000 audience members and no professional jury. The next episode will be our Taotao's home court!"

"Yes, yes! In the live audience voting, our Taotao has never lost. Our team is directly guaranteed to be first!"

"Lin Qingying, Xu Wenzhou, and Qiao Xi were thinking: If you want Gu Zetao's team to win, just say so directly. We can eliminate the team ourselves, there's no need to make it so complicated."

"So, in the next live competition, are there any restrictions on the songs that can be sung?"

"We just finished restricting this issue, so there shouldn't be any more restrictions, right? And if there are still restrictions on themes, that would be too difficult. After all, not every group has a creative talent like Yoyo-ge!"

Sanshui also raised the microphone and said, "In the next competition, there will be no restrictions on the songs. Everyone can perform freely!"

Except for the players from Gu Zetao's team, the players from other mentor teams all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

This is the only good news that Sanshui brought today.
