Chapter 170 Young singers are mentally unbalanced, and the older generation struggles to support them

Backstage, the singers are preparing.

Watching the live broadcast in the studio, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of being a song that became popular all over the world in 15. The atmosphere is so exciting!"

"Ok!"

Feng Shiqi pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "And his ability to sing and dance is also very enviable!"

Although there are many singers who can sing and dance at the same time, Feng Shiqi has never seen many singers who can sing as smoothly as Mars Brother.

As for herself, needless to say, the skills of singing and dancing are simply a luxury for her.

Bai Xingjian could sense the envy in her tone, and with a mischievous smile on his face, he asked, "How about we develop the skill of 'singing and dancing' when we have time?"

"No."

Feng Shiqi looked into his eyes, her lips curled up slightly: "As long as you can sing and dance, I will be a beautiful flower on the mountain top and help you to calm down on the stage."

Bai Xingjian smiled dryly and said nothing.

Seeing his "speechless" look, Feng Shiqi gritted her teeth and reached out to pinch his arm.

“Watch the live broadcast.”

Although he didn't use much force, Bai Xingjian still said "it hurts a lot".

At this point, "Uptown Funk" is about to enter its final stage.

On the stage, Brother Mars and his partner were performing a "duo act".

Feng Shiqi blinked at Bai Xingjian and withdrew his hand. Then they both turned their gazes to the display screen in front of them.

……

"Uptown Funk you up"

(Soy milk, popcorn)
“Uptown Funk you up (say whaa?!)”

(Who is bending?)

"Uptown Funk you up"

(Soy milk, popcorn)
On the stage, Brother Mars and his six team members were swaying gracefully.

Behind them, there were two members playing the electronic keyboard and drums.

Because he had no musical instrument in his hands, Brother Mars danced very happily, jumping up and down with his feet off the ground.

In such a cheerful atmosphere, the audience couldn't help but dance to his rhythm.

The camera swept across the audience, and the scene looked like a large-scale disco.

The building with seats on the second floor even shook a little.

This is a scene that has never been seen before.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were filled with envy.

"Oh my god! This scene is so happy! I really want to go!"

"The stage design, the hard-working and professional performance, and the warm atmosphere are just top-notch! So perfect! I am deeply moved just by looking through the small screen of my mobile phone. If I were there, I would have jumped out of my skin!"

"I listened to this song when I was a kid and walked, and now I'm still in a wheelchair."

"A man who has won so many Grammy Awards is extraordinary! He can sing, dance and rap to his full potential!"

"If Kun Kun had half the business ability of Huo Xing Ge, he wouldn't have been blacklisted by the entire Internet."

"The only male singer who can sing so smoothly is Brother Mars!"

“It can be seen that Brother Mars has high expectations for his team members and their requirements are not high.”

"Photographers also have requirements. The camera cannot look down. It must be level or looking up."

"Hahahaha you guys are so mean!"

"Although Mars is only 1 meters tall, his superstar aura is something you only see once in decades."

"Indeed! He is 1.6 meters tall but manages to look like 1.8 meters tall."

……

Compared to the lively atmosphere in the studio, the atmosphere in Liao Bei, Ding Xin and Huang Fei's respective preparation rooms seemed quite solemn.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Liao Bei's forehead and his face did not look very good.

In order to sing the song "Nameless" well this week, he made full preparations before the show started, just wanting to take the first place tonight.

However, after seeing Brother Mars' performance, he suddenly felt that the number one ranking had slipped away from him.

The song "Uptown Funk" sounds very exciting and seems catchy, but once you have sung it, you will know that the lyrics of this song actually contain a lot of high-pitched pronunciations, similar to Michael Jackson's songs, and are very difficult.

If a normal person sings "Uptown Funk" like Mars, his voice will be broken before the song is finished, just like what Bai Xingjian did after singing "A Bridge of Fate" before.

But what about Brother Mars?
Not only can he sing "Uptown Funk" smoothly, but he can also dance with big movements while singing.

This talent, this physical function, is simply amazing!

Liao Bei now regrets coming to "The Voice of China 2024". If he doesn't perform well on the stage, he will probably end up with a disgraced reputation in his later years.

As for Ding Xin, she was quite open-minded.

She doesn't care at all whether she can preserve her dignity in her later years, she has already started.

Ding Xin's expression is quite solemn now, because she deeply feels the gap between her and Brother Mars.

And this gap is perhaps a microcosm of the gap between the Chinese music scene and the European and American music scene.

“I hope our young people here won’t be affected.”

Ding Xin murmured to herself. What she was mainly worried about was that after watching Brother Mars' performance, Huang Fei and Fenghuang Yufei's mentality might fluctuate, leading to doubts about themselves.

If Huang Fei knew what Ding Xin was thinking, he might say "thank you" to her.

However, Huang Fei's current mentality is not affected by Brother Mars at all. After all, his heart is dead, so how can he be influenced?

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi didn't think so much at all.

Although the atmosphere in their preparation room was not very lively, the two would occasionally exchange a few words with a smile.

Different from the relatively quiet situation of Chinese singers, the atmosphere in Shantimo and Vanxia's respective preparation rooms was quite lively.

From the song "Uptown Funk" to now, the two have been standing, swaying their bodies to the rhythm.

They are very familiar with this song, probably to the same degree that Chinese citizens on Earth are familiar with Phoenix Legend.

It’s similar to “The Most Dazzling National Style”.

……

On the brightly lit stage, Mars Brother and his team members performed hard and professionally.

At the same time, they also enjoy the stage of "The Voice 2024".

Mango TV spent two small goals to build the sound system, and both Mars Brother and the audience can feel the joy of money.

The audio-visual experience of the live audience was even more amazing. The ending stage of "Uptown Funk" was just like "Unforgettable Tonight", the whole audience was going crazy, it was like a large-scale disco scene.

The audience was very excited both visually and auditorily.

The number of people online in the live broadcast room also reached a peak at this time, and the ever-increasing number is breaking the record for the largest number of people online since the live broadcast of "The Voice 2024".

Backstage center.

"Twenty-four million!!!"

The program's chief director, Li Xiao, was shaking his legs and blushing as he exclaimed, "It's worthy of being the number one song on the American Decade Chart and the number three song on the Global Decade Chart. This scene is so exciting!"

Hong Yang smacked his lips and expressed his deep agreement: "Mars' stage performance is truly world-class!"

After saying this, he changed the subject: "Will inviting him here so early really not affect our singers?"

"It's an impact, so be it."

Li Xiao grinned and said nonchalantly: "It's a good opportunity to show everyone the gap between the Chinese music scene and the European and American music scene. Otherwise, our domestic singers will always be complacent and work behind closed doors, and the Chinese music scene will sooner or later be ruined."

“Although it’s almost rotten now, it needs a fierce burning to give birth to new vitality.”

Li Xiao said calmly: "And Brother Mars is this raging fire."

……

On the stage, the fire of Mars Brother was burning fiercely. Even after the song ended and they had left the stage, the audience was still immersed in the fanatical atmosphere, with applause, shouts, and roars that continued for a long time.

Everyone didn't quiet down until He Ling came on stage to take control of the situation.

in front of the TV.

"Brother Mars' first place tonight is absolutely unquestionable! Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have no chance of even getting the top spot!"

Wang Yaqi spoke with a very excited tone, as if she was singing "Uptown Funk" on the stage.

Li Zhenxi shook his head and smiled: "It's not just the two of them. Shantimo and Vanxia can't take first place tonight. Mars' performance was too wonderful!"

"That's right! Watching Mars' performance is such a pleasure. He is indeed a charming superstar!" Lin Hailun couldn't stop praising him.

the other side.

Wang Pei Ni said with twinkling eyes: "I really like the cool and handsome feeling of Mars brother!"

"Hahaha."

Lai Jie smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Mars always looks like he just came back from a vacation in Hawaii. It feels so relaxing!"

Liu Yue: "So this song was sung by him? I've heard this song before, but I can't remember the name of the song or the name of the person."

Luo Xi smiled brightly: "Brother Mars is like this, a magical person whose songs you can't remember the names of, but you have always heard of."

"But I have to say that Mango TV's filming techniques are really detailed. If you hadn't told me before, I wouldn't have been able to tell that Brother Mars was only 1 meters tall." Liu Yue smiled playfully.

Lai Jie still had a smile on her face: "Although he is only 16 meters tall, his aura is meters high. During the Super Bowl halftime show, Mars danced with Beyonce. Although he was not as tall as Beyonce, his aura was not inferior to Beyonce at all."

Wang Penny said loudly at this time: "Height and appearance are nothing compared to talent!"

Luo Xi raised an eyebrow at her: "Then if I ask you to find a boyfriend who is 1 meters tall, would you be willing?" Wang Pei Ni rolled her eyes and said with her chin in her hand: "If he has the talent of Mars Brother, then it's not impossible."

At this point, she smiled and changed the subject: "If not, forget it. After all, I'm already 1 meters tall, so I should at least find someone who's over 65 meters tall."

Rossi sneered: "Hehe~ Woman~"

……

After you sing, I will appear.

After Brother Mars’ performance, it was Huang Fei’s turn.

And his performance tonight may be his worst since he came to the stage of "The Voice of China 2024".

It is obviously a very dynamic dance song, but in Huang Fei's interpretation, it seems lifeless and dull.

Compared with Brother Mars’ stage just now, there is a world of difference.

Many audience members at the scene stared with wide eyes, showing extremely surprised expressions.

Su Caitao, sitting in front of the computer screen, couldn't bear to watch Huang Fei's performance tonight.

As for the fans in her live broadcast room, they were all extremely shocked.

"No wonder Sister Tao Tao said before that Huang Fei's stage style is very similar to Brother Mars. Now that the real protagonist is here, I don't know how to sing it."

"When a fake meets a real one, his true colors are revealed!"

“Young people’s mentality is not very good!”

"But it's true. For a singer with a slightly weaker mental quality to be on such a big stage in front of him like Mars Brother, it would be hard for him to handle it, right?"

"I'm beginning to worry about Phoenix Flying."

Looking at these comments, Su Caitao couldn't help but say, "Everyone, please say less. In the live broadcast environment, Huang Fei is already under a lot of pressure. Now he is performing behind Brother Huoxing. It is common for his mentality to be affected. I hope everyone can be more tolerant."

"Whoever performs behind Brother Mars tonight probably won't feel very comfortable."

Su Caitao's tone was quite emotional.

The main thing is that Mars Brother’s stage performance was really a masterpiece, and his team provided their own choreography, which looked really enjoyable.

This alone has created a huge gap between him and other singers.

As for singing skills and stage performance...

Let’s not mention it. If we do, the gap will be even bigger.

……

Singer's preparation room.

Looking at Huang Fei's stage, Ding Xin couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, what she expected happened.

"Alas, the current situation is really not optimistic!"

Ding Xin put her hands on her legs, watching the real-time broadcast from the studio, and couldn't help rubbing her hands.

“I hope Lao Bei can perform well later!”

She wasn't really worried about Fenghuang Yufei. The camera had just cut to them, and Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi seemed to be in good condition.

Moreover, they are the last group to perform on stage tonight, so the pressure should not be that great.

As for Liao Bei, he performed after Huang Fei.

Ding Xinting was afraid that Liao Bei's mentality would be affected. She knew that Liao Bei wanted to rank first tonight, but Mars Brother's performance...

All I can say is that it’s very difficult under the current circumstances.

"Are you nervous, Bei-ge?"

In Liao Bei's preparation room, his music partner asked him.

At this time, Huang Fei's performance was coming to an end, and it was soon his turn to go on stage to sing.

"Fortunately."

Liao Bei smiled and nodded, his eyes deep and firm.

Unlike Huang Fei, his heart is not dead.

Liao Bei is now over 50 years old. He has seen many scenes and has strong adjustment ability.

Therefore, even though Mars' stage is like an unshakable mountain, there is no trace of anxiety or tension on his face at this moment.

Liao Bei's mentality has changed——

This number one ranking is a request whether you want it or not! Just play your role well!

He calmly stood up from the sofa and walked towards the stage aisle in an orderly manner with his music partner.

The music partner was quite surprised at Liao Bei's transformation. When Brother Mars was performing before, he noticed that Liao Bei's face was not very good and he even wiped the sweat off his face.

But now?
He only saw calmness and composure in Liao Bei, as if no matter how great the difficulties were, they could not shake his inner peace.

Is this the calmness that comes from the older generation of singers?
The music partner suddenly felt the charm from Liao Bei.

……

"Thanks Huang Fei for the performance!"

At the edge of the stage, He Ling held up the microphone and said loudly: "Next, please welcome singer Liao Bei to perform the song "Nameless" for us!"

"Everyone welcomes you with applause!"

As soon as the words fell, there was loud applause from the audience, and barrages of comments in the live broadcast room also floated up.

"Brother Bei, come on!"

"I've already taken third place three times, let's take first place tonight!"

"Go, go, go!"

"Let Brother Mars see how powerful our older generation of Chinese singers are!"

"Looking at the comments you guys posted, I tried my best not to laugh in front of the screen."

Amid the brilliant lights, Liao Bei came onto the stage.

The scene became quiet. After three heartbeat-like sound effects rang out, Liao Bei opened his mouth and began to sing.

His careful preparations this week to secure the top spot were worthy of his success. Not long after he sang the song "Nameless", both the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the screen felt their eyes brightened.

Even Su Caitao, who was quite critical of Liao Bei last week, couldn't help but praise him: "Liao Bei really listens to the suggestions given to him by netizens! Today's song "Nameless" surprisingly has few dragging notes, which is rare."

"And the bass was performed perfectly, and the connection with the high notes was also very smooth. If in the last episode, we said that Liao Bei was lackluster except for the high notes, then in tonight's episode, Liao Bei can be said to have blossomed in many areas."

"Thumbs up!"

Su Caitao gave a thumbs up to the camera, and netizens in the live broadcast room also agreed with her.

"Bei Ge is worthy of being Bei Ge for being able to perform so well under such high pressure!"

“It’s really amazing!”

"Brother Bei might be able to refresh his ranking tonight and make further progress."

"Don't even think about getting first place, but maybe I can try for second place."

Singer's preparation room.

Looking at Liao Bei's stable performance, Ding Xin patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't have any hope for herself, but it was different for Liao Bei.

From the current perspective, Liao Bei has managed to defend the national goal.

Another singer's preparation room.

Brother Mars and his team members sat on the sofa and watched the live broadcast in the studio together.

Including Brother Mars, their team consists of nine people, but with the music partner, there are already ten people in the room, the largest number of people in all the singers' preparation rooms.

Fortunately, the production team should have anticipated this before the show started.

Therefore, even if there are ten people in a preparation room, it does not look crowded.

Mars Brother’s music partner sat next to him and introduced Liao Bei to him.

After listening to some information, Brother Mars smiled and nodded: "It can be seen that Liao Bei is a very good singer. He performed this lyrical song very well! It's my favorite type."

Brother Mars was once known as the "Little Prince of Lyrical Songs", so he is very fond of lyrical songs.

The music partner continued to introduce him: "The next singer to perform is called Ding Xin, she..."

After Liao Bei's performance, Ding Xin went on stage to sing.

She was also singing a ballad song tonight. She was inevitably a little nervous at the beginning, and her voice sounded a little unstable. She also made a mistake when entering the first sentence of the chorus.

However, this is also Ding Xin's old problem, and countless viewers have become accustomed to it.

Fortunately, after entering the chorus, Ding Xin adjusted her state, and she gradually got into better shape in the following parts, even singing a difficult high note like F5 in a strong voice.

Such a free and unrestrained feeling directly pushes the song to a climax, which is amazing.

After the performance, many audience members laughed and said:

"Sister Xin knows how to suppress before promoting."

“I’ve outdone myself again this week!”

"Although there were mistakes, overall the merits outweighed the flaws. Especially under the high pressure of Mars' explosive opening tonight, Ding Xin was able to perform like this, which is very rare and precious."

"Say less, I feel like Huang Fei will break into pieces if you continue talking about him."

“Hahahaha, Huang Fei still needs to work on his mentality! I just wonder if Fenghuang Yufei will be affected by Brother Mars tonight.”
