Even Qin Xuerong, who was sitting next to Wang Qian, couldn't help but flash a trace of amazement in his eyes. He stared at the TV picture and whispered, "Sophie is really beautiful."
Jiang Yu's eyes did not leave the figure on the TV screen, nodded and said: "Well, she deserves to be the first on this stage. However, her talent is also second only to Professor Wang. This song sounds good. Although I can't understand what she sings in French, I feel very good. The music sounds very soothing and pleasant, like a folk style, especially her singing is really good."
Juliet said with admiration: "I heard Sophie's name long ago when I was in Europe. Many people praised her as the first musical genius in France. I was a little unconvinced of her before. Now it seems that she may be really better than me."
Juliet thinks she will never be worse than Sophie in classical music, especially piano.
However, Sophie's piano has not only reached the world's top level, but also has such extraordinary understanding and achievements in the field of pop music.
This is extremely rare in the whole history of music development. There are almost no world-class achievements in the two major fields at the same time.
And now!
In this draft stage, there are two at the same time.
A Wang Qian.
A Sophie!
Although, Sophie's real strength level is still far from Wang Qian.
After all, Wang Qian's piano and violin standards are recognized by the world's top ten performing masters, not losing to world-class masters, and pop music breaks records and creates amazing sales records.
The achievements in the two major fields are no longer world-class, but have reached a historical level.
The world level is compared with the masters in the world at present, while the historical level is compared with those famous masters in the whole music history.
This is the first person to do this in the history of music development.
Sophie is not as good as Wang Qian, but she also shows the potential to achieve this step, and has initially achieved world-class achievements in both fields.
Born in a classical music family, the piano level has reached the world-class level, and the classical instruments such as violin have great attainments.
At the same time, she has also made extraordinary achievements in pop music. She is almost catching up with Christine, the previous first day in the world. It is definitely a great success.
In the view of many people in the industry.
In time!
It is almost inevitable that Sophie will reach the peak in both fields at the same time.
Or, in the eyes of many people with low requirements, Sophie has stood at the peak of classical and pop music, and has proved herself to be famous in history.
Wang Qian looked at Sophie on the TV screen with the same appearance temperament as a fairy. He said it was impossible not to be excited. He looked forward to meeting Sophie after the performance.
And Wang Qian really likes this song.
This is a truly native historical genius.
Wang Qian has a trace of admiration for Sophie.
At the scene!
The audience was also very quiet.
No one expected Sophie to sing a French song on such an important semi-final stage.
Although French is also a widely used language in Europe and the United States, it is not the mainstream after all. On this world-wide performance stage, many audiences do not understand French.
In particular, the vast majority of the audience at the scene did not understand French.
This will discount Sophie's performance recognition, which is a big taboo for the competition performance.
Just!
French is called the most beautiful language in the world by many European and American writers and linguists, so they think French itself is very good.
Basically, all European and American best-selling books will have French versions.
Many ordinary people in Europe and America have a good foundation in French.
Coupled with Sophie's voice like the sound of nature, the relaxed folk music tune and the singing method like self narration, many people are fascinated.
Of course
The most amazing thing is Sophie's fresh and natural temperament and shape like a fairy facing the dust tonight. Many people can't open their eyes when they see it.
Adam, who had not left backstage, stood there staring at Sophie in a daze.
Jennifer also stood by and looked at Sophie's figure with some envy in her heart.
Such Sophie makes Jennifer, who has always been confident, have a trace of inferiority.
She thinks that she is not much worse than Sophie in absolute beauty. What is worse is the kind of art and aristocratic temperament deep in her bones.
This cannot be easily formed.
Jennifer is a real rich family. She has received an extremely good education since childhood. She has learned some noble etiquette and other things. She is a real upper class figure in North America.
However, after all, her family is a capital family developed in North America, which is much worse than the aristocratic art family born in Sophie.
In the view of many noble families in Europe, the capital families in North America are upstarts and have no historical heritage. They look down on the capital families in North America from the bottom of their heart.
Even though many capital families in North America are richer than some aristocratic families and even royal families in Europe, aristocratic families still despise capital families in North America.
Jennifer now has a deep understanding of this and the gap between the two.
The song is over!
Sophie gently nodded as like as two peas to Wang Qian, and quietly said, "thank you. This is my French song that I feel inspired to create. The name of the song is my own name, Sophie!"
Many people are surprised to name the song after their own name. They have new ideas about the song and want to take a good look at the meaning of the lyrics after the end.
The quiet scene suddenly became warm, and everyone woke up and gave warm applause one after another.
Whether they understand it or not, they all know that this is an absolutely good French song. The faint artistic conception in the song has infected them, which shows that this is an extremely excellent work.
So, just clap!
Even Qin Xuehong, Liu Shengnan, Ru Ke, Chen Xiaowen and other audiences from China applauded hard.
Qin Xuehong also whispered to Xiao Dongmei: "I have to say that this Sophie from France is really powerful. I admire a little girl like this for the first time."
Sophie is only 20 years old. It's not too much to call a little girl for Qin Xuehong, who is about to be 30.
Xiao Dongmei clapped and said, "it's really good. This is the best French song I've ever heard."
Qin Xuehong asked curiously, "do you know French?"
Xiao Dongmei: "a little understand!"
Qin Xuehong shut up and knew that this was Xiao Dongmei's modest words.
What others say is a little understood, which may be the degree of arbitrary communication with French people.
Jennifer and Adam watched Sophie's performance backstage together. Without saying a word to Adam, she quickly stepped onto the stage and said loudly, "although I only understand a few lyrics, I know it's a great French song. Sophie is really great. So, what do our judges say?"
The applause subsided.
Everyone looked at the ten judges who were equally excited.
The judge from France spoke first and looked a little excited: "this is a great French song. It is also a surprise brought to us by Sophie! She is a real genius. Her talent is not lost to Professor Wang Qian. After ten years, she may be the next Professor Wang Qian. I gave her full marks. She is so perfect."
Warm applause broke out at the scene.
Everyone agrees with this view. Sophie is a perfect musical genius. She may not lose to Wang Qian in talent.
Since Sophie performed on this stage, she has also tried several different music types, and her singing methods have also changed, but she has not directly changed her voice as exaggerated as Wang Qian.
Most importantly, like Wang Qian, Sophie's every musical attempt was a great success.
This is the same as Wang Qian.
This is also the only singer in the world who can do this except Wang Qian.
Adam had several different attempts before, but apart from this rap type, none of them was very successful.
Therefore, people think that Sophie's talent is not lost to Wang Qian. The difference is time to grow up. It's also reasonable.
Sophie smiled and said, "thank you for your praise. However, Professor Wang Qian and I still can't compare. Maybe I can be his student."
This is what Sophie really thinks.
If she can be with Wang Qian every day, she is willing to be Wang Qian's student like Juliet.
Then, Cui Wenfeng, the first judge, said, "although I didn't understand it, I felt the artistic conception of this song. I was also touched by Sophie's beautiful song, which was very powerful. I gave 9 points!"
Nine is almost the highest score given by Cui Wenfeng except Wang Qian.
Sophie smiled: "thank you, Miss Cui!"
Ceci said with a little exaggeration: "if there were no Professor Wang Qian, Sophie, you would be the most dazzling star on the stage. However, even if there was Professor Wang Qian, he could not hide your light. You are really great. This French song is the best French song I have heard in recent years, and I also give 9 points!"
Many audiences applauded Ceci and agreed with him. This is also the best French song in the impression of many others.
Of course, there are not many French songs you have heard.
Laubert in the front row also said in a low voice: "Sophie may be the only one who has the chance to beat Wang Qian in the future. Christine is now at the peak. It is difficult for her to make a breakthrough. If she can't beat Wang Qian recently, she will never beat Wang Qian in the future. However, Sophie still has great potential to tap and may have the strength to beat Wang Qian in the future."
"We can invite Sophie to join us next time. I think she must be eager to beat Wang Qian."
The others nodded in agreement.
People in the singing industry highly recognize Sophie's talent and strength, which is the genius they all need to look up to.
Several judges also scored one after another.
Finally, Sophie got a high score of 93 points, three full marks, and the other seven were nine points, which can be said to be the highest one under Wang Qian's full score.
More than ten points higher than Adam's performance just now. He has won one.
It's an absolutely amazing achievement for a French song.
She conquered the judges and audience with a French song, which once again proved Sophie's amazing talent and strength.
Sophie politely thanked all the audience and the judges before turning away.
Adam, who had been waiting backstage, hurried to greet him: "God, Sophie, your performance just now was perfect. I was convinced to lose. This French song is so beautiful. Can you explain the meaning of this song to me? I think it must be of special significance to you to name this song after your own name!"
Adam spoke excitedly of his support and affirmation for Sophie, hoping to shorten the distance with Sophie.
Unfortunately, Sophie didn't say a word, as if she didn't hear him. She just walked to her lounge, stopped when passing by Wang Qian's lounge door, and then entered her own lounge next to her.
Bang
Adam stood at Sophie's lounge door, pale.
Lost the game!
Also lost the goddess.
Adam felt that his life was dark for a moment and turned slowly to his lounge.
And on the stage.
Jennifer began to announce the results of the first round that everyone expected.
At this time, the audience rating is generally high.
Because this is the time to uncover the suspense.
But
Jennifer heard the voice of the director group from her headset and knew that the ratings were still declining.
From the peak of Sophie's performance just now, 2 billion people are online, down to 1.5 billion!
"It's down again. However, the good news is that Sophie is the second player who can support 2 billion people to watch at the same time. Her popularity in the world is incredible. We can make good use of it."
"Jenny, the process of announcing the number of votes can be accelerated. The audience doesn't like watching. It may be that the performance gap between the two groups is a little big..."
The director team communicated with Jennifer.
The reason why the audience are not so interested in solving the suspense of votes may be that the antagonism between the two groups of players is not strong.
The gap is somewhat obvious, so the result is already obvious!
The live performances of Wang Qian and Elizabeth are definitely not of the same grade.
There is also a big gap between Adam and Sophie on the stage.
So!
It seems that we can think of the result without looking at the number of votes.
Naturally, the audience was too lazy to watch. They posted posts on major social platforms and boasted. They were forced to go and watch the contestants' performances when the time passed.
Jennifer also accelerated the speed of announcing the results: "it's time to announce the number of votes in the first round of performance again. Are you looking forward to it?"
Many of the audience at the scene also looked very calm. It was obvious that there had been results in their hearts for a long time.
Jennifer also quickly released the results.
"OK, the first group of contestants, Elizabeth and Professor Wang Qian. Issa won 27370 votes. Professor Wang Qian won 82600 votes, and the remaining dozens of votes were abstained. Obviously, everyone knows that Professor Wang Qian won. In addition, Professor Wang Qian also won the judges, so Professor Wang Qian has won the first round of performance Benefit. "
"Let's congratulate Professor Wang Qian and hope Issa will not be discouraged and continue to cheer to bring us the best performance."
……
Let's talk!
No one was surprised by the result.
It was just an accident that Wang Qian opened such a big gap with Elizabeth in popularity. He was almost no different from Jonathan in the first round. He just watched the second round.
Laubert and other European and American singers are slightly disappointed. Obviously, they all had a glimmer of hope for Elizabeth before, hoping that Elizabeth could create some trouble for Wang Qian and even counter attack to eliminate Wang Qian.
Now it seems that they really think more
The reason why the dark horse counter attack is shocking is that there are too few.
As few as many people are hard to meet once in a lifetime.
Jennifer continued to announce the votes of the second group: "the second group, Adam and Sophie. Adam won 41300 votes. Sophie won 68700 votes and no one abstained. Sophie won. Sophie also won in professional points just now. So congratulations to Sophie on winning the first round."
"This is the result of the first round of performance. Professor Wang Qian and Sophie are the winners."
"Next, we are about to start the second round of performance. I hope the four players can maintain their best state again..."
"First contestant, Elizabeth!"
Jennifer doesn't have too much nonsense.
After announcing the results, we will start the second round of performance directly.
Elizabeth was also informed early that she had come to the backstage and stood well. She looked very calm. She was not surprised or disappointed with the result.
She knew that she had absolutely no chance of winning in front of Wang Qian.
On the contrary, she was surprised that nearly 30000 people voted for her, which shows that almost all the parents in her hometown are supporting her.
This is the greatest recognition for Elizabeth.
With great strides, Elizabeth walked to the stage and began her second performance!
It is still the mature style she has always adhered to before.
It is still a new song she created.
Still above the standard
Just
For the audience at the scene and all over the world.
But it feels a little boring.
They listened to Wang Qian's different rock and roll, Adam's different rap, and Sophie's amazing French ballads.
As a result
Elizabeth is still her.
Many people are disappointed at once.
Although Elizabeth's performance has always maintained a high standard, the songs are still quite moving.
However, in addition to those fans who have always supported her, other passers-by audiences are somewhat disappointed or even despised. I hope she can finish the performance quickly so that they can see the surprise performance brought by Wang Qian.
Everyone wants to see something new.
Yunna said to Lillard: "I don't know why, this good song can be the main song of an album, but I feel very ordinary."
Lillard said with a bitter smile: "because we were all raised by the more wonderful unknown surprise performance of Wang Qian and Sophie, we were very unfriendly to Elizabeth who had no new ideas and surprises."
The others nodded, and they all felt the same.
This is true of these professional musicians.
Not to mention other ordinary audiences.
The backstage of the program group looked at the declining ratings again, which was heartache and unable to breathe.
There was a quarrel in the office.
"I'm suffocating. There's only a billion people left."
"From the peak of 2.7 billion viewers to only 1 billion, what did we do wrong?"
"Elizabeth's performance didn't have any sense of expectation and didn't meet the expectations of the audience, so everyone left."
"Ask Wang Qian to hurry up and save the show. The advertising time of his second performance has been sold at US $16 million per second. Poor Issa, it's even harder to buy the advertising time of her third performance, which may be only US $2 million per second."
"Two million dollars is not enough. After all, there are a billion viewers."
"Don't worry, wait a little. It's only a few minutes. Wang Qian still has two performances. Now he can save the low viewing data. Just watch quietly."
"Yes, with Wang Qian, we shouldn't worry."
The office is quiet again.
However, even copyright representatives in North America and English now hope that Elizabeth can end the performance as soon as possible, and they don't want Elizabeth to eliminate Wang Qian.
Compared with interests, position is not important.
Elizabeth also maintained a stable play and successfully ended the song.
There was also polite applause at the scene.
Just look at everyone's mood.
Elizabeth is not surprised. She has a clear understanding and positioning of herself and knows that her live performance is very ordinary against the background of Wang Qian and Sophie.
She had no choice but to stick to it.
It seems that the judges also got the news from the director group, so they didn't comment at length or interact with Elizabeth.
The scoring will be over soon.
Jennifer announced Elizabeth's final score: "congratulations to Issa. She scored 85 points in the second round."
Compared with the first game, Elizabeth's score in the second game also decreased a lot.
Although, her performance has always been stable, and her strength has not decreased. It is reasonable that her professional score should not decline.
However, the judges also have their own preferences.
Moreover, good and bad are relative
Compared with Wang Qian and Sophie, Elizabeth's performance was very ordinary, and her score decreased.
Elizabeth smiled helplessly and bowed to the judges and the audience: "thank you. I may have disappointed you. I'm sorry!"
Elizabeth said this frankly.
Everyone clapped again and watched Elizabeth turn and leave!
Jennifer's face lit up.
Because Wang Qian is about to appear.
Jennifer shouted, "well, now let's invite Professor Wang Qian, who is most expected to appear. I don't know what surprise his second performance will bring us?"
The applause became more enthusiastic.
From seeing off Elizabeth to welcoming Wang Qian.
Jennifer backed away from the stage while clapping.
All the lights on the stage went out and turned dark.
The applause fell silent.
Everyone craned their necks and looked at the dark stage. They didn't want to miss any details of Wang Qian's performance.
It seems that several shaking figures on the stage in the dark are so wonderful and full of expectation.
