"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Huang Xizhao, the managing director and general manager of Lili TV, to come to the stage and ask him to give a welcome speech for this conference." After introducing the judging panel, Zhang Zhiyu continued.
The audience immediately burst into applause. Huang Xizhao, who looked energetic in a suit and leather shoes, stood up from his seat, nodded slightly to the audience behind him, and then strode towards the stage.
"Hello all distinguished guests and friends, first of all, I would like to thank you for your support. At the same time, I would also like to thank our program director, Mr. Zhong Jinghui, for choosing such a good day as today to host tonight's finals." Huang
Xizhao said with a rich smile on his face. He first finished it in Chinese and then repeated it in English.
"Although it's raining heavily outside, for Hong Kong, it's rain after a long drought. This is a joyous rain that all Hong Kong citizens have been waiting for. At the same time, tonight's game is also a game that many viewers and fans are looking forward to.
It has been a grand event in the music industry for a long time." Huang Xizhao continued to say with a smile.
There was a round of warm applause from the audience, and many viewers were indeed happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"The purpose of our Asian Singing Competition is to improve the level of amateur singers in Asia and promote the friendship of music-loving people from all over Asia. I wish all the contestants tonight can sing at their best," Huang Xizhao said.
Said encouragingly.
"I would also like to announce good news here. After the resolution of the Asian Singing Contest Executive Committee, the third Asian Singing Contest will still be held in Hong Kong next year, and our Li TV will continue to host it. We are flattered by this and can only do our best.
I will do my best and live up to expectations, thank you all!" After Huang Xizhao finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to the audience.
The songs of all the contestants tonight have been announced in the media and newspapers. The songs chosen by the seventeen singers from eight cities are all English songs without exception. This also facilitates the fairness of the judging.
The first contestant to appear was Suchawang from Bangkok. He performed the song "This House Is Not My Home" (Chinese translation). It must be said that the strength of the contestants who can stand out from various competition areas and come to Hong Kong to participate in the finals
It's very good, and the songs they chose are also very suitable for their own style.
The response from the audience at the scene was pretty good. Most of them could understand or appreciate English songs. However, the audience in front of the TV was just average because the entire competition was all about singing English songs. For ordinary audiences, it was hard to watch.
The sexiness has been greatly reduced. If I didn't want to see the performance of the three local contestants, I would have turned to TVB Jade Channel to watch Revenge.
"Are you really optimistic about him?" Xu Ruoqi suddenly whispered to Lu Dongjie.
"Then what do you think of him?" Lu Dongjie smiled and asked without answering.
"Not bad, the long hair is handsome but not frivolous, and she is also very spiritual," Xu Ruoqi praised with a smile.
"Yes, I also think he performed very well, hee hee," Miss Zhong Chuhong also added with a smile.
At this time, the seventh person to appear on the stage was Zhang Guorong. At this time, his typhoon was much more stable than in the preliminary round. He was wearing a white dress and a red scarf, which made him look full of vigor and vitality. He was holding a silver rice peak in his hand.
Along with the sound of the piano, he sang the song "American Pie" that accompanied him all the way through the battle.
After singing an abridged version of American Pie, the little girl Mo Wenwei, wearing a cute green dress and two buns, quickly picked up a bouquet of flowers and walked onto the stage. She saw the graceful big man on the stage.
Brother and little girl Mo Wenwei happily presented flowers to Zhang Guorong, and then the two of them turned around and walked off the stage holding hands.
Then Zhang Guorong's next contestant on stage was Dinkadu from Manila. He sang the song "If She Breaks into My Heart." The two contestants from Manila have always been regarded as the favorites to win this championship.
The level of Filipino musicians has always been well-known in Southeast Asia. High-end nightclubs and hotels everywhere give priority to hiring Filipino bands to perform.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the music scene in Hong Kong was completely controlled by the Filipinos. The musicians and arrangers were all Filipinos. Even the film companies and record companies in Hong Kong had the concept that Bingo music must be good.
.
Filipino musicians have extremely high performance skills, and their style is close to American and Spanish music. Their performance of popular music is often better than that of those who graduated from formal music academies. Although the music scenes in Japan and Hong Kong have also risen in recent years, there are always
Out of reach.
Even in the face of such a strong enemy, we must have the momentum to lose even if we lose. Players from all regions continued to take turns to perform on the stage, basically showing their best state and level. As for the outcome, it was left to the judges to decide.
.
The fifteenth person to take the stage is Chung Wai-ho. He is the champion of the Hong Kong finals and has high hopes from the citizens of Hong Kong to win glory for Hong Kong. His performance and performance are as stable as ever.
However, this contestant caused a minor disturbance two days before the competition. The cause was a complaint that he had been a professional singer in a nightclub and violated the rules of the amateur singing competition. The relevant person in charge of Li's TV was very concerned about the complaint.
We take it seriously, and Huang Xizhao personally convened an emergency meeting to study this issue the day before yesterday.
It is said that Lai's management has made preparations. If the complainant's opinion is true, Chung will be temporarily disqualified from the competition to avoid being questioned and affecting the fairness of the competition.
For this reason, Chung Wai-ho was called to see Huang Xizhao yesterday to assist in the investigation of the above-mentioned issues. After investigation by the relevant departments of Lai TV, it was confirmed that the complainant's opinions were inconsistent with the truth. Chung Wai-ho had indeed never been a professional singer, so he maintained his original position.
It was decided to reinstate Zhong Weiyi’s qualification to compete.
I don’t know if it was affected by this turmoil. Although Zhong Weiyi performed stably on the stage tonight, he didn’t seem to have a bigger breakthrough in his performance, especially when he was competing on the same stage with strong players from several other regions.
Under the circumstances, the comparison can be made more intuitively. On the contrary, the impression of Zhang Guorong's progress along the way is more eye-catching.
"When will our Meiyun come out? Nothing will happen, right?" Mother Lu, who was watching the live TV broadcast at home, asked anxiously.
"Mom, you've asked me several times, and now there are only two left. You'll know when you read on." Lu Xiaomei rolled her eyes helplessly. Although her tone of voice was relaxed, her little hands were also clenched in anticipation.
.
"Why are you so anxious? Look how calm your son is at the scene." Dad Lu pointed at a close-up shot of Lu Dongjie on the TV and said with a funny look on his face.
"You speak so easily. It's not like you don't know how powerful those Bin guys are. They don't win prizes in any competition. Hum, they're just fine singing English songs. But if you ask them to sing Cantonese songs, you can see how proud they are.
"Ma Lu said still a little angrily.
