Click to enter the live broadcast of the national Happy Female Voice competition, where six contestants will be reduced to five.
Tonight, one more contestant will be eliminated from the top six. Director He Ping writes a blog post in support of Yu Kewei.
Last Friday, Tan Lina luckily broke the "death prediction of the set designer," and this round facing extremely strong opponents, elimination seems almost certain. The focus of the outside world naturally shifts to the "top battle" between Yu Kewei, Li Xiaoyun, and Liu Xijun. In this match, all three will challenge songs of ultra-high difficulty. This highly anticipated "top battle" has already become intense before it even begins, with a strong "powder keg" atmosphere. Even renowned director He Ping couldn't help but "stick his nose into it." Previously, he wrote an article on his blog strongly supporting Yu Kewei: "I like Yu Kewei's tone and stage presence; emotion is the most important part of a song, and I hear that interpretation and understanding in her singing!"
The topics of "Pan Chen's elimination having insider secrets" and "under-the-table operations to save Tan Lina" have gradually dissipated as the list of songs for the current 6-to-5 round has been exposed. People always like new things. Since Tan Lina is the weakest among the remaining six, after narrowly passing last round, the public opinion overwhelmingly predicts her elimination this time.
Tonight, Liu Xijun will choose the international song "Think of Me" to challenge her vocal limits. Li Xiaoyun also brings out her "hidden treasures" by performing her original song "Strength for Dad" for the first time. She even prepared a song by Wang Leehom called "Plum Blossom Edge", which includes elements such as rap, Peking Opera, and a strong rhythm, presenting a comprehensive challenge for her. Yu Kewei will once again bring surprises by singing Sa Dingding's "Birth of All Things". As long as she can convey the distant tranquility and the primitive Eastern essence in the song, her victory in this round should be without doubt.
Yesterday, the production team released the latest news. The judges tonight remain unchanged, consisting of Chun Xiao, Wu Qixian, Gao Xiaosong, and Wu Zhourong. In terms of the competition format, there will be further upgrades, with the contestants going through four rounds of competition.

On June 18th during the Top 20 Breakthrough Competition of Happy Female Voice, Bao Xiaobo angrily left his seat due to dissatisfaction with another judge Shen Lihui's support for the "off-key angel", muttering half angrily and half helplessly, "If you stay, I'll leave."

During this period of storm, the highlight was when Bao Xiaobo angrily left his seat, muttering half angrily and half helplessly, "If you stay, I'll leave", thus becoming a symbol of "true men".

In the second rehearsal of the Top 10 Breakthrough Competition, I saw her at the scene. She had already cut her hair short, and her overall appearance had completely changed. Wearing black-rimmed glasses without lenses, her catchphrase became "So what?" — not wanting to take photos? So what? Not wanting to give interviews? So what?
I smiled and told her I wanted to interview her. She casually pushed me and laughed, saying she had been interviewed so many times she felt like throwing up and asked me to spare her. She even made a deal with me, jokingly saying that she would authorize me to write whatever I wanted, whether or not I interviewed her. Of course, it was a joke, but I thought she really felt very innocent. After all, when someone becomes famous, troubles follow.

At the live broadcast of the second Top 10 Breakthrough Competition, her short hair on stage looked neat and crisp. The microphone placed in front of her was neither too high nor too low, positioned just right. After receiving guidance from the band teacher and the judges, her singing and pronunciation had become more "standardized." Although her voice was still the same, the childishness could still be heard when she sang high notes, but sitting in the media area, I felt that she had developed a star-like aura, possessing artistic charm. But, she should no longer be the old Zeng Yike.

Some people compare her to Li Yuchun and Jay Chou when they debuted, but I think they are incomparable. If we must compare, Li Yuchun was lucky to hit a good time, able to captivate thousands of fans without judges fighting over her; Jay Chou suffered委屈by having to sit on the cold bench for a long time in Jacky Wu's company before being able to release an album. And Zeng Yike, she is innocent. Judges are powerful, she is small, because the judges hold life-and-death power; directors are powerful, she is small, because the directors will try to make her more perfect; fans are powerful, she is small, because even without text message voting, fans still determine the popularity index of the contestants.

Bao Xiaobo has returned. What he previously said, "She stays, I go," has now proven false. Perhaps Bao Xiaobo himself has realized that no matter how upright he is, and how much he sticks to his own opinions, he cannot change the result of the competition. Zeng Yike's advancement was already arranged. How could Hunan TV let go of such a treasure so easily? It's like capitalists exploiting workers; they won't stop until they've squeezed out every bit of surplus value.

Later, everything I saw was about the growth of a "little innocent" during a special period. Upon careful reflection, actually Zeng Yike participated in some talent shows before but was never discovered. To be bold, only the "Happy Female Voice" stage has the breadth to accommodate her. Otherwise, according to traditional standards for mainland music talent shows, she might still be a simple college student strumming her guitar alone in a Taekwondo hall recording her own songs.

That position was not the height she initially desired to reach, nor was it something she deliberately planned to achieve. It could only be described as a dream, a dream magnified by the crowd.

The first time I saw her was during the 300-to-60 breakout competition. I was watching the live broadcast in the media area when she sang "How Long Can I Still Be a Child." On stage, she appeared quite confused and then said the classic line, "Just put me on hold." At the time, this statement gave me a great shock. How could any contestant say this in such a "fame and fortune arena"? When she was announced to advance directly, I went to the entrance of the 600 broadcasting hall. I guessed she herself didn't expect so many cameras to suddenly be pointed at her. Her words came out one by one, and she was very nervous. Later, I asked her, when the host asked if she wanted to advance or be eliminated, why did she think of being on hold? She innocently countered me, asking, "That's what I thought. I can't tell the judges I want to advance, right?" I was somewhat astonished. Originally, this girl was so pure.

Parents in the city often let their children receive a little artistic training when they are young, which is essentially artistic cultivation. Because Yike's mother had learned violin before, she wanted Yike to have a specialty. Around fourth or fifth grade, she let Yike study the violin for two years. However, this child seemed not to like the violin much, and no one knows if she wanted to or not, but she persisted for two years anyway.

We really didn't notice Yike's musical talent, except for one incident that made me feel how smart this child was. In fifth grade, she played with my phone, which allowed custom ringtones. Surprisingly, Yike managed to produce simple melodies on my phone, which sounded pleasant. However, it didn't attract my attention much. I just thought her sense of melody was pretty good.

I started working in Changsha in 2001, and Yike's mother transferred to Changsha in 2006. Therefore, during those few years, Yike and her mother spent their time in their hometown, Changde. Since her mother also worked, Yike grew up very independently. I visited them in Changde almost every week, and Yike never complained about the absence of her father. Her academic performance was fine, ranking above average, especially in English, where she was among the best in her class. Thus, we were relatively at ease. When she took the college entrance exam, she performed well and eventually chose an English major, aligning with her interests.

After the college entrance exam, Yike told me she wanted to enroll in a guitar tutoring class in Changsha (I also studied guitar, so maybe there's a genetic factor involved). I said sure, go ahead if you want. During that time, she practiced diligently. She attended classes during the day and would perform for my wife and me in the evening. Occasionally, she would complain of pain, with her fingers covered in tape. Once Yike determined to do something, she would take it seriously. Practicing guitar, she would start early, usually practicing until midnight, sometimes even until 3 or 4 in the morning, while strumming, singing, and scribbling on paper. I'm not familiar with pop music, so I wasn't sure if she was starting to write songs, but I knew she was serious about it. The first guitar cost 500 yuan, and Yike cherished it greatly, taking it with her when she went to university.

"Twins are my idols. From the moment I knew about them, which was also around the time they debuted, I began to like them." Despite now being regarded as an idol by many people, Zeng Yike openly admitted her idols. "I buy every one of their albums, it should be described as collecting. Those CDs are still at my home, and I sing their songs when I go to karaoke." Immediately, someone nearby would ask if she feels her idols have split since Twins have gone solo. Zeng Yike seriously and without hesitation replied, "I don't think they've split. Separation inevitably leads to reunion. They will definitely not separate and will come back together. I look forward to it."

Zeng Yike's lyrics and singing style are quite niche, playing a route of light freshness that easily reminds people of Chen Qi-zhen. Originally, I thought Zeng Yike's idol would be her, but Zeng Yike denied it. She admitted she listens to Chen Qi-zhen's songs but has never bought her albums. She likes the feeling of Chen Qi-zhen, but the inspiration for her own songwriting comes entirely from her own life and has nothing to do with Chen Qi-zhen's writing style.

Her mother lured her to learn the violin
When Zeng Yike was very young, no one could have predicted her connection to music. No signs were noticed around her, although she once made her family proud in drawing. When she was about five years old, Zeng Yike drew a rooster, and her grandfather said it was super similar. However, this "talent" in drawing was not well preserved, and later, Zeng Yike didn't draw as much anymore. "Those talents have now shifted to music. Ha ha."

Contestant Zeng Yike has recently been a focal point of discussion among netizens and audiences. From making it to the top 20 when Bao Xiaobo left his seat, to accusations of off-key singing, plagiarism of Chen Qi-zhen, and controversies regarding her tobacco tycoon "Furongwang" father and alleged manipulation by Hunan TV, despite continued controversy, forums filled with criticism, and netizens giving her the nickname "Sister Zeng,"

Yesterday, a netizen posted on a forum claiming that the "Zeng Yike incident was carefully planned hype." This netizen named "dayule" claimed to have left the planning team on July 11th. "In February 2007, I joined this team through a netizen introduction. The boss is called Dalu. This promotion of Happy Female Voice was received in early June. The preliminary selection started on May 7th, and I don't know why the order came so late. It was an order from a Beijing-based Media Information Technology Company. This year, the viewership ratings of Happy Female Voice are very low, and our responsibility is to increase the ratings."
Zeng Yike won't be the champion

This netizen also revealed, "Zeng Yike won't win the championship. Our plan at the time was to place her fifth, but now according to Congcong and others, she might be moved to third place to ensure the ratings for the finals."
