### Chapter 070: I'm Not As Good As Him! Maybe Someone Is Blind?
Shanghai.
In a certain villa.
Qin Xuerong was already sitting on the sofa early, wearing red and white cartoon pajamas and holding a big teddy bear pillow. She leaned comfortably on the sofa, watching TV, and kept muttering, "Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Murong Yue, eating snacks, said, "Don't worry, they said he would appear, so he will, just a bit later. Maybe he's the finale."
Qin Xuerong whispered, "The contestants appearing so far all seem quite strong."
Murong Yue nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the quality of contestants on 'The Voice' this year has definitely improved compared to previous years. It's commendable."
Upstairs, He Chaohui and her daughter, Jiang Yu, came down.
They had been practicing piano in the music room. Murong Yue was supposed to call them when Wang Qian appeared.
Since they hadn't been called, they curiously came down to check.
He Chaohui asked, "Wang Qian hasn't come out yet?"
Jiang Yu, with her usual expressionless face, sat next to Murong Yue and grabbed a snack to eat.
Murong Yue replied, "Almost!"
He Chaohui sat down and sighed, "Wang Qian is something. He could be a great pianist, but he wants to be a star. At today's exchange meeting, Professors Dawson and Karl asked several times why Wang Qian didn't come. I just said he had family matters. Professor Dawson seemed quite regretful."
Jiang Yu interjected, "Didn't you hope Wang Qian wouldn't go?"
He Chaohui glared at her daughter, then continued watching TV. Seeing the contestant on TV being chosen by Wang Jingyu, she exclaimed, "This contestant's singing level isn't weak, comparable to current professional singers! Almost eliminated?"
Murong Yue remarked, "The quality of contestants on 'The Voice' this year has indeed risen. Especially the mentors' lineup, it's really scary. It can be said to be the strongest lineup in ten years! All of them are powerful kings and queens of music. Wang Jingyu was my idol when I was a kid, and later Cui Wenfeng became my idol. Now they're all here."
He Chaohui nodded, "I've heard Liu Junhua mention it. He's received many invitations to be a mentor over the years, but he refused them all. I didn't expect him to accept 'The Voice' this year..."
Liu Junhua, her colleague, occasionally taught classes, and they were always packed.
She didn't usually pay much attention to talent shows, but she had some impression of 'The Voice' since it was quite popular for several years. She knew the previous contestants' standards.
This year's quality had indeed noticeably improved.
Several contestants had singing skills comparable to current young professional singers, yet most of them were eliminated, with only two making it through.
Finally!
Wang Qian appeared.
After watching Wang Qian's interview.
He Chaohui laughed, "This kid, still so arrogant."
She recalled Wang Qian's words at the exchange meeting: "I'm not targeting Mike alone; I'm talking about all of them!"
It was similarly arrogant.
Although Wang Qian later explained, making everyone barely accept it, each person could sense the confidence and pride in his words.
Qin Xuerong watched the TV screen without blinking. When Wang Qian walked onto the stage, she excitedly threw away the pillow and clapped her hands, "Go for it!"
Jiang Yu commented calmly, "This isn't a live broadcast."
Qin Xuerong ignored her, her eyes glued to Wang Qian on the TV screen.
At this moment.
The camera gave close-up shots of the four mentors: Qin Han, Liu Junhua, Wang Jingyu, and Cui Wenfeng.
Especially Qin Han, who received several close-ups, showing her looking a bit bored and curiously touching the confirmation button.
Then.
Before the music started.
Wang Qian, standing at the center of the stage, suddenly began singing a cappella.
"Love... to the death..."
"If it's not unrestrained, it's not satisfying."
"No matter how deep the feelings, only this way, it's enough to express."
"Love... to the death..."
"If not crying to a smile, it's not satisfying..."
"Even if the universe is destroyed... the heart still remains..."
Pure a cappella.
Pure voice.
Pure singing skills.
The heart-wrenching feeling, conveyed through the song, hit the eardrums directly and went straight to the soul!
Murong Yue jumped up, "It's this song..."
Jiang Yu's eyes also lit up.
They had recorded the accompaniment with Wang Qian, but it was just the accompaniment, without recording the vocals.
Moreover, Wang Qian had recorded many accompaniments recently!
So, they didn't know what song Wang Qian would sing.
Now, hearing Wang Qian's voice, they immediately recognized the song by its rhythm and tune.
"I really love this rock song."
Murong Yue said excitedly, "I played the drums in it."
Jiang Yu responded indifferently, "Oh."
He Chaohui watched Wang Qian in surprise, "His singing skills are excellent, and his voice is great!"
She had heard Wang Qian's songs before, but those studio versions couldn't showcase the true singing skills.
This live version truly demonstrated his powerful singing skills.
Clearly.
Wang Qian's opening line was a display of skill and talent!
Even He Chaohui was a bit shocked by his top-level skill and talent.
Qin Xuerong listened quietly, her eyes fixed on Wang Qian on the screen, feeling pleasantly surprised.
"Love to the death!"
Is this directed at me?
...
Chen Xiaowen and Sun Jing were both nervously watching Wang Qian, anticipating his performance.
Even a genius like Chen Xiaowen hadn't managed to get all four mentors to turn for her.
Why could Wang Qian do it?
Both were very curious!
"Love... to the death..."
When the first line was sung, Chen Xiaowen understood why.
Sun Jing's eyes also had a hint of amazed shock, "This song is great!"
The camera gave a close-up of Qin Han.
When Wang Qian sang the first line.
Qin Han suddenly turned her chair around!
Chen Xiaowen and Sun Jing were both stunned.
This mentor...
So quick?
Kneeling at the first note?
Surrendering in a second?
Then.
They saw the camera switch back to two seconds earlier.
Qin Han was bored, fiddling with the button.
Suddenly, Wang Qian's voice burst forth, startling her. She accidentally slapped the button, causing her chair to turn around.
Qin Han's face showed a momentary look of surprise and panic, then quickly returned to calmness.
"Pfft!"
"Haha..."
Chen Xiaowen and Sun Jing laughed simultaneously.
"Teacher Qin is so funny!" Chen Xiaowen couldn't help but say.
Sun Jing shook her head, saying nothing.
The tension between the two eased. However, they also understood why Wang Qian managed to get all four mentors to turn around.
Because!
His opening note was stunning.
Chen Xiaowen, who didn't particularly like rock music and preferred slow, lyrical songs, found it almost impossible to achieve such an immediate impact.
Looking at the past decade of "The Voice" highlights, most contestants who managed to make an immediate impression sang rock songs, songs with a rock influence, or those with an operatic high note.
In short, the opening must be stunning.
Of course, they knew Qin Han's instant reaction was accidental. So, Wang Qian's opening note didn't truly count as an immediate knockout.
However, this year's situation was different.
These four mentors were not ordinary people; each was a living legend in the music world, dominating during the peak of Chinese music.
Getting them to turn around instantly was almost impossible.
Wang Qian's singing continued.
Chen Xiaowen listened very attentively, continually offering praise.
"Top-notch singing skills, flawless breath control, even better than mine."
"Full of emotion, his lyrical abilities should be no less than mine, and his expressions are perfect."
"The heart-wrenching feeling, I've been moved."
"Also, this rock song, he composed it himself."
"Reportedly, from lyrics to music to post-production, he handled it all by himself!"
"I'm not as good as him!"
Chen Xiaowen concluded, looking seriously at Wang Qian on the screen, "I'm very curious why someone with such astonishing talent waited until his thirties to debut. If he had debuted a few years earlier, the Chinese music scene would be different now."
Sun Jing, having gathered some information about Wang Qian from various sources, had a rough idea, though nothing concrete. She smiled, "Maybe it's because of love!"
Chen Xiaowen was taken aback, "Because of love?"
Sun Jing speculated, "Maybe. I guess he might have been dumped by someone and chose to debut to prove himself."
Chen Xiaowen, staring at Wang Qian, asked in disbelief, "He was dumped?"
Sun Jing, also doubtful, said uncertainly, "Perhaps that person was blind?"
...
Li Qingyao and Liu Lihua watched Wang Qian's performance together.
An instant impact!
All four mentors turned.
An incredibly brilliant performance.
This could be edited into the highlights of "The Voice" over the past decade.
Li Qingyao sighed again, whether from pressure or something else, and walked towards the bathroom, "Sister Liu, get me a chance to be on Happy Camp next week. I can't lose..."
They both foresaw that Wang Qian would explode in popularity on "The Voice."
They would face greater pressure next.
Although Li Qingyao's new song currently had two million more downloads than Wang Qian's second song, they knew that once Wang Qian's exposure increased, his data would explode again!
Among the top variety shows that could compete with this year's "The Voice" in popularity, only a few could manage.
Liu Lihua nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to Teacher He right away!"
...
Wang Qian sat on the sofa, smiling as he finished watching this episode of "The Voice." Originally, He Dongming said he would be the first to perform.
Unexpectedly, he ended up as the finale.
Not bad!
Wang Qian evaluated himself.
Ding!
Glorious Xue'er: "So good! You're amazing."
Wang Qian smiled and replied, "Just okay, average! Have you finished watching? Go to sleep now."
Glorious Xue'er: "I want to download this song. When will you upload it?"
Wang Qian regretfully replied, "I might not be able to upload any songs for a while. I won't be uploading my recent songs. I'll see about the future ones."
Glorious Xue'er: "Did something happen with Tengfei?"
Wang Qian: "Yes!"
Glorious Xue'er: "Is Tengfei bullying you? I'll buy exposure to expose them right now!"
Wang Qian quickly said, "No need!"
Glorious Xue'er: "Don't carry it alone, you have me."
Wang Qian felt warm in his heart and smiled, "I know! That's why I'm not afraid of anything."
Glorious Xue'er: "Really?"
Wang Qian: "Really!"
Glorious Xue'er: "Then can I come see you now? I miss you."
Wang Qian looked at the time, "No! It's late, get some rest."
Glorious Xue'er: "Oh!"
After chatting for a bit more, Wang Qian lay in bed, preparing to sleep, browsing information on his computer.
Obviously, the most discussed topic on major social platforms was this episode of "The Voice!"
The top news on major platforms was almost all about "The Voice."
