Chapter 116 The King of Singers is tied, so a tiebreaker is scheduled!
Chapter 118 The King of Singers is tied, so a tiebreaker is scheduled!
Liu Qing called with three purposes in total.
First, we invite Li Shen, as a top screenwriter, to join the judging panel of the "Flying Eagle Award." (I revised the previous chapter; a reader's comment made sense.)
Second, we will discuss the film and television copyright issues related to "Female Celebrity" and the implementation of new variety show ideas.
The work of the judging panel would require a great deal of energy from one person, so Li Shen declined the offer.
However, the trip to southern Hunan was inevitable.
After seeing Li Shen's message, Tian Xiwei replied with "Okay" and then began to think about the problem of salvaging the iron ox again.
In the previous life, this was not a story made up out of thin air; it came from the official history, the "History of Song," and was clearly recorded.
The salvage of the iron ox was indeed a challenge for countless scholars and experts. In the end, it was the monk Huaibing who managed to salvage it.
Popular accounts say that all eight iron oxen were successfully retrieved, but historical records such as the Qing Dynasty's "Tongzhou County Annals" state that after retrieving three, the monk Huaibing left due to comments from bystanders. Others attempted the same method but failed.
Currently, four of the iron oxen are located at the Pujindu site.
Ordinary tourists can reach out and touch these four Tang Dynasty iron oxen when visiting the site, and feel the warmth of history.
The salvage method can be summarized in a few words: the two giant ships are joined together with wooden beams, and the ships are filled with mud and sand until they are about to be submerged. Then, skilled swimmers dive to the bottom of the river and tie multiple ropes to the iron ox, with the other side naturally tied between the two giant ships.
After the ropes were tightened, the craftsmen began to unload the mud and sand from the ship. Due to the law of buoyancy, the iron ox was gradually pulled up vertically.
This salvage method is something most adults who haven't read the story wouldn't think of, but after reading the latest chapter, they suddenly realize how simple it is.
Following that, Li Shen updated three more chapters, in which the young Li Fei exposed the charlatans' scams such as "writing on blank paper" and "fishing for money in a frying pan," thus regaining his prestige.
Scams like writing on blank paper and retrieving money from a deep fryer actually have very simple scientific principles, making them especially suitable for explaining to elementary school students. However, most people can't understand the underlying reasons without consulting a search engine.
"Clever Li Fei" won the approval of readers. Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of this long fairy tale was several levels higher than all the fairy tales on the market at present! Moreover, it is very educational and enlightening.
In this lifetime, "The Crow and the Pitcher" is already a very classic fairy tale!
The long fairy tale "Clever Li Fei" contains stories that are classics from a bygone era.
The children's writers of this generation were all dumbfounded after reading "Clever Li Fei".
They can't write it!
What will they write?
They would write, "If you find a penny, hand it over to the police officer—"
After following the story for two days, Yu Hua even posted on Weibo: "This is the most logically rigorous, the most interesting, and the most enlightening fairy tale I have ever seen in all these years."
In fact, when writing "The Clever Li Fei", Li Shen was targeting the group of older children, namely primary school students, and even more so older primary school students.
While writing it, he was already planning for its future film and television adaptation.
In his previous life, Zhang Weijian starred in "Clever Little Master", which was the live-action version of "Ikkyu-san".
"Clever Little Master" was very popular back then, but if you put aside your childhood nostalgia and watch "Clever Little Master" again, you will find the plot and acting to be quite awkward.
In my past life, several TV series and movies featuring children as the main characters were very popular, such as "Home with Kids," "Little Dragon Man," and "Happy Planet."
Films like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "The Nine-Year-Old Magistrate" are all classics.
However, Li Shen did not repeat his own habits, so in principle, he only wrote one TV series for children.
Therefore, "The Clever Li Fei" is another work that Li has been planning for a long time, following "Female Star".
"Clever Li Fei" not only needs to incorporate many classic stories, but it also needs to be appropriate for young children, logically sound, and have a reasonable plot.
Li Shen had very high standards for this long fairy tale.
Not to mention that this life's fairy tales pale in comparison, even the other fairy tales in "Lu Fei's Fairy Tale Collection" pale in comparison.
For example, "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Ugly Duckling".
Of course, they are not aimed at the same age group as the children in "Clever Li Fei".
Li Shen has already conceived two creative directions: pure love films and television dramas, and children's television dramas.
The adaptation of "Female Star" into a film or television series is imminent, while there are no plans for "Clever Li Fei" at the moment; it may be a few years from now, and we'll have to wait for the right opportunity.
The reason why Li Shen was filled with creative passion after transmigrating was only one: to elevate all fields of entertainment in this life to a new level!
In every category, he must set an example for this life!
Three weeks later, after the second stage of the regular season ends, "The King of Singers" will hold its singing championship competition.
Li Shen has three weeks to complete the writing of "Female Star" and continue updating "Clever Ji Fei".
Regarding "Female Star," many things will revolve around it in the coming months.
For example, matters related to the publication of physical books, book signings, and film/television adaptations.
In the following weeks, Li Shen threw himself into his busy work.
The number of favorites for "Female Star" is also increasing, but the growth rate is slowing down. In the days leading up to the breakout round, the number of favorites is only increasing by about 10 per day.
Due to Li Shen's absence from the show for over 20 days, the popularity of "Female Celebrity" has been declining.
However, after a month and a half of gradual accumulation, "Female Star" successfully surpassed 1 million collections on Origin.com, reaching 1200 million collections, which is not far from the 1900 million collections of the classic online novel "Hidden Knife" in this era.
Surpassing "The Hidden Blade" may only be a matter of time and opportunity.
Everything was going smoothly for Li Shen, but Tian Xiwei encountered a formidable competitor on the stage of "The King of Singers": [Flowers Bloom and Wealth is Prosperous]!
In the first episode of the second stage, Tian Xiwei came in second with "Warmth" but went all out with "Flowers Bloom and Wealth Arrives," winning first place with her flawless singing!
The song "Redemption" by Li Shen, sung in the song "Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity," gave him goosebumps. It was indeed sung so well that it must have been performed by a powerful diva.
In the second episode, Tian Xiwei successfully challenged the song "Flowers Bloom and Wealth Arrives" with her rendition of "Courage," becoming the champion of this episode.
With five consecutive songs including "Lost Beauty," "A Little Happiness," "Not Yet Lovers," "Warmth," and "Courage," [66] successfully established herself as a queen of healing love songs.
This Sunday, after the second stage of the third episode of the "King of Singers" competition concludes, the singer breakout round and the group stage of the King of Singers competition will take place.
Therefore, Li Shen also needs to attend the recording on Sunday.
Since Li Shen did not have a performance segment, after arriving at Shanghai Broadcasting Station, he went to the public lounge immediately under the guidance of Wang Xiaomei.
The list of members for the show has been updated as of today.
After Li Shen advanced, [Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity] took to the stage as a replacement singer.
[Don't always imitate a cat's meow] Eliminated in the first episode of the second stage, his true identity is revealed: Xiao Jingteng.
Yang Chong Wei's identity as Prometheus was successfully guessed by the audience, and he left after revealing his true identity.
Since being rescued by the "Ugly Duckling," Deng Ziqi has tried to hide her singing style. In addition, the "Ugly Duckling" has stirred up trouble and confused the audience, which is how she managed to get to this episode.
In the second stage of the competition, four new singers were added: 【花开富贵】, 【厨夫】, 【我就学猫叫】, and 【鬼火少年】.
【Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity】 and 【Cook】 are even more powerful.
Even someone as strong as G.E.M. only ranked sixth in the last round.
Inside the lounge, the television signal was connected, and the live broadcast of "The King of Singers" began.
When the close-up shot focused on Tian Xiwei on the throne of the King of Singers, she slowly waved her hand.
On stage, the first singer, "Flowers Bloom in Wealth," took the stage. With her extremely high voice, she garnered 92% of the vote and sat in the seat of the strongest challenger.
The next few masked singers all performed well, with scores generally hovering around 90%.
The Ugly Duckling ranked second to last with 87%.
[Ghost Fire Boy] is slightly worse, with a 79% approval rating.
As the show has progressed to this point, the strongest group of singers has made it to the end.
After finishing their performances, the singers went into the dressing room one after another.
[I'll Learn to Meow Like a Cat] was very excited when he met Li Shen: "Brother, my grandson really loves your fairy tales."
This is clearly an elder.
The cook looked Li Shen up and down, then nodded: "Young and promising!"
Li Shen: "Thank you."
Santa Claus was very lively; she kept asking Li Shen how he planned to promote the product next.
On stage, after all the challengers finished their performances, Tian Xiwei walked onto the stage, ready to sing her song for the evening.
Having honed her skills in the previous five episodes, Tian Xiwei has become a veteran on this stage, and she is now completely at ease.
She held the microphone with both hands; the regular season was about to end, and this was her last chance to express her feelings.
This song is related to the novel "Female Star".
She loved reading the books he wrote.
The tranquility in his book is filled with her image, and she hopes that in the years to come, the content of the book will reflect in real life, and that her image will always surround him.
She hoped that the two of them could slowly grow closer and savor the beautiful moments together.
The band's accompaniment began.
Tian Xiwei's eyes were tender, and her singing voice was languid and soothing: "The book always describes the delightful evenings, the bicycles they ride, and their conversations. Slowly liking you, slowly becoming intimate, slowly talking about themselves, slowly walking together with you, slowly wanting to match you, slowly giving myself to you—"
Li Shen listened quietly, then smiled with satisfaction. The queen of healing love songs had chosen the right path.
Tian Xiwei sang "Slowly Falling in Love with You" with great emotion. Her voice was like warm water, slowly seeping into the hearts of the listeners: "Slowly falling in love with you, slowly reminiscing, slowly growing old with you, because slowly is the best reason."
When the singing stopped, Tian Xiwei smiled brightly. On this stage, she sang everything she wanted to say to him.
Tian Xiwei's final approval rating was 93%! She retained her title as the reigning queen of singers.
【66】The title of "Queen of Healing Love Songs" has been firmly established at this moment!
-
Wang Fei liked these slow songs; she listened to them with great enjoyment.
She took the cue card handed to her by a staff member: "Congratulations to [66] for successfully defending your title and becoming this week's Singer King. Now I announce that the one who directly advances to the Singer King Championship in the second stage of the regular season is, hmm?"
Wang Fei paused.
Because the average support rate for the three episodes, [66] and [Blooming Prosperity], was the same.
Wang Fei looked at the production team and asked, "What should we do? Should we all advance to the singing competition?"
The production team huddled together and started discussing it.
This situation is very rare, and there are only two options: either all of them advance, or there is a tiebreaker.
However, in the event of a tie, a tiebreaker will be held on any competitive stage.
Director Hong Feng: "Both singers, please prepare for the tiebreaker. The winner will advance to the King of Singers final, and the loser will join the other masked singers in the elimination round!"
【66】I was stunned. It was over.
She prepared a song for the breakout round, but unexpectedly, there was a rare tie in the support rates for the three rounds.
If she uses the same song from the preliminary round in the tiebreaker, and wins, she will directly advance to the final competition for the title of "King of Singers," which would be a perfect ending.
But what will happen to her later qualifying rounds if she loses?
She looked at Wang Fei and asked, "Excuse me, is it mandatory to sing an original song in the tiebreaker?"
【Flowers Bloom in Wealth】also looked longingly at Wang Fei, which was also something she was worried about.
Wang Fei was very understanding of the singers. She looked at Hong Feng and said, "I don't think it's necessary to have an additional original song competition, right?"
Hong Feng nodded: "The tiebreaker round is an unexpected event, and it's up to the two singers whether they sing original songs or not."
Upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had panicked in this situation too.
【66】: "Okay, thank you."
It seems she can only sing the song "Little Happiness" now.
This song was the first song Li Shen wrote for her, a song she sang countless times at home, and the song she knew best!
She might reveal her identity because of this song, but she will definitely sing it very well.
Wang Fei: "Please, [66] and [Flowers Bloom in Wealth], step down and prepare your own songs!"
[Flowers Bloom in Wealth] walked quickly off the stage, while a short, unassuming musician stood up on one side of the stage.
The camera panned across the screen, and the original musician appeared in the live stream: Chang Shilei.
【花开富贵】walked to Chang Shilei's side and asked for his opinion: "What should we do?"
Chang Shilei smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, during the tiebreaker, you can sing the song from the qualifying round first!"
【花开富贵】: "What if I haven't sung [66] before? What will I do if I don't have an original song for the elimination round?"
Chang Shilei: "It's okay. The director just said that in this situation, no matter who enters the breakout round between you and [66], you will be the last to sing, giving you some time to prepare again."
In other words, if you unfortunately make it to the elimination rounds, you'll have at least six hours to prepare from now until you start singing. Six hours is enough time for me to write a song; don't worry, it's a no-brainer.
[Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity] Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Chang Shilei, a musical prodigy, is her greatest asset.
The third PK competition and the breakout competition were recorded in two sessions, one during the day and one at night.
During the evening recording, the tiebreaker round was recorded first, followed by the knockout round.
The audience members quickly left the venue.
The judges also got up and went to the rest room to rest.
【Flowers Bloom in Wealth】returned to the stage, rehearsing "Red," a song originally intended for the breakout round, with the help of the band.
[66] He looked at her blankly from below the stage.
This song, "Red," is an original new song!
I compared my song "Little Happiness" with her original new song, which puts me at a natural disadvantage in terms of reputation.
[66] Suddenly, as if she had lost her support, she walked blankly towards the lounge.
lounge.
Li Shen frowned: "A tie?!"
G.E.M., always eager for drama, remarked, "With two female singers so evenly matched, another round of competition would be a real treat for us."
Seeing Tian Xiwei walk in, Li Shen asked, "Where is Teacher [Blooming Flowers and Wealth]?"
"She's rehearsing."
"Then why did you come back?"
Tian Xiwei forced a smile: "Because of the tiebreaker, I don't plan to sing an original song. I want to sing someone else's song, but first I need to secure the copyright and get the arrangement."
"So she doesn't sing original songs either?"
"She sings original songs."
Li Shen: "Then aren't you at a disadvantage? On this stage, originality is the theme, and the audience has a preference for original works."
"I----"
"It's alright, I'll write one for you so you can compete fairly."
All eyes were on Li Shen.
【66】: "Isn't there too much time?"
Li Shen: "What time will recording begin?"
"Eight hours later."
"No problem, just wait and see."
Li Shen gently patted Tian Xiwei on the shoulder to encourage her, and then calmly walked out of the lounge.
Li Shen's gentle pat instantly relieved Tian Xiwei's pressure, and she felt a strange sense of security.
The singers looked at Li Shen's back, then at [66].
[Female celebrity] made a move for [66]?!
