There are only three days left before the official start of the "China-Korea Exchange TV Gala", and there are more and more discussions about the "China-Korea Exchange TV Gala", which has become the hottest news on the Korean Internet.

In the second half of last year, the most lively event on Naver, South Korea's largest portal, was the sword dance dispute.

Chinese and South Korean netizens quarreled on naver, and even let naver crash for a time, and finally naver had to take a large number of bans, ban IP segments, etc., so that Korean netizens reluctantly retained their basic advantages on naver, and as a result, this knife dance battle ended with Gu Xiaobai's song "Song of God", which also made many people in South Korea become Gu Xiaobai's fans.

In the first half of this year, the news that South Korea's three major and Gu Xiaobai competed for the market in Southeast Asia once again aroused a large number of discussions among netizens. At first, the competition between the two sides came and went, but later, with HSL suspected of money laundering, the Korean music app "melody" causing Gu Xiaobai's new album "White" to sneak away and other scandals fermented, and Gu Xiaobai's "Blue Sea Whale Ride" sea tour frenzy, this competition has become less suspenseful.

If it had been a match, the score would have been 2:0 so far.

South Korea is a country with a strong desire to win, as evidenced by their terrible sportsmanship.

In order to win, anything goes.

So this kind of loss is almost intolerable.

And the loss of the market is even more unbearable.

In the final analysis, capitalists invest money into Hallyu, not to do charity, let alone promote Korean pop culture, but to make money.

In the past ten years from 2000 to 2015, it was probably prime time for the Korean entertainment industry, the Chinese market was gradually opened up in the world's second largest market, and countless Korean stars made a lot of money in the Chinese market, almost dominating the idol market. The influx of hot money has made South Korea's music industry develop rapidly and become the most competitive pop music in Asia.

But since 2016, the good days of the Korean Wave have passed, first completely lost the market in Chinese mainland, had to speed up the layout of Southeast Asia, desperately broke into Europe and America.

Immediately afterwards, the Southeast Asian market also began to lose.

Now, the homeland is about to be invaded?

If you can't go back to the good old days of the early 2000s, you can at least let me have some soup.

Maybe you can't even drink the soup now?

If it was originally a war in the music industry, now this dispute has spread to the capital industry.

South Korea's entertainment industry, which accounts for 3% of South Korea's GDP, is more like a national-level defense war.

Therefore, when Zeng Yizhong and Hao Fanbai hurriedly recruited troops, South Korea was already in full swing.

In a studio in Seoul, although there are still three days before the performance, almost all the players from the South Korean side who participated in the competition have already taken place and started preliminary preparations and rehearsals.

According to Tao Ran and Ye Weiyuan's classification method, in the Korean contemporary music scene, there are still active, and there are about eight singers who can be included in the S-level based on their singing skills or singers' live expressiveness, half male and half female.

And at this "China-South Korea Exchange TV Gala", there are four!

Lee Seung-hyun, who once performed on the same stage with Gu Xiaobai, is one of the four.

Another male singer is his friend, rock singer Kim Shin-young.

As the lead singer of a South Korean indie rock band, Kim Shin-young is not well-known, but he has a highly recognizable tearing metal voice and strong singing skills that can be used as a benchmark for rock singers.

Kim Shin-young is a few years younger than Lee Seung-hyun, just thirty-five years old this year, strictly speaking, he has passed the peak of his physical function, but his singing skills and live performance are still improving, and he is known as the man who may be called the strongest.

In this exchange performance, he was pulled back from a tour by his own company.

Kim Shin-young is a very focused and homely person, plus he is in a small circle of independent rock, so he doesn't pay much attention to mainstream music, and almost all of his heart is devoted to his own music.

Lee Seung-hyun is probably his only friend in the mainstream music circle.

When I was dragged in, I didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, he is sitting in the background, watching the video on his phone.

This video is the live video of Gu Xiaobai singing "Song of God".

After a while, he frowned and asked Li Shengxian beside him: "Brother Shengxian, is Gu Xiaobai really as powerful on the scene as on the video?

"Gu Xiaobai's scene is much more powerful than on the video......" Li Shengxian smiled bitterly, "Can you imagine that when he sang "Song of God", he had a high fever of 39 degrees?"

"No, his singing style is really good, there is no sense of so-called sound area at all, it feels like the real voice is directly on C6...... Is this possible? What kind of vocal system is this?" Kim Shin-young scratched his head.

"It's his own training system, and no one else has done it so far. Lee Seung-hyun said.

There are supporters of the theory of unified sound area, two-tone area, and three-tone area, but how many can really achieve a unified sound area?

Not to mention, Gu Xiaobai's vocal range is so wide, there is almost no weak link.

Jin Shenying scratched his head and said, "His way of speaking is very ruined......

"When he rode a whale on the blue sea, he sang 20 songs a day and sang them for seven nights......" Lee Seung-hyun smiled wryly.

Jin Shenying didn't know what to say, he was stunned for a while, and said, "Is this a human being? He's a monster, right?

Li Shengxian shook his head: "Gu Xiaobai may be the most physically functional existence among the singers we have seen and heard of so far...... And his creative ability is even more terrifying, almost all his songs are written by himself......"

Such a monster, what do we win?

Unless......

Lee looked backstage in the other direction.

Backstage, Kim Dong-hwan, the organizer of the South Korean exchange TV party, was not worried at all, he said to a middle-aged man: "Sir, don't worry, we can't lose this time, the reason why we lost last time was because we were on the opponent's home field." This time it's our home stadium and we're ready for anything. ”

The middle-aged man nodded slowly and said, "That's good, this matter will be handed over to you, and it must be handled well." ”

"Understood, I understood!" Kim Dong-hwan sent the chief away, turned around and came to the backstage.

"Is the sound engineer ready?Which vocal range is Gu Xiaobai good at?Attenuate his vocal range!"

A sound engineer was wearing headphones to test the equipment when he said, "He'...... He seems to have a vocal range of five octaves......"

"Then attenuate all the registers!"

The sound engineer pouted, wouldn't it be better if I just pulled the plug?

"By the way, that's what kind of reverb, add it to him. ”

"Aren't you going to fix the sound? Isn't it going to be reversed? That knob twists and twists for me!"

Kim Dong-hwan blindly commanded in the background for a while, proudly crossed his hands and looked into the distance.

Gu Xiaobai, as long as he dares to come, he will definitely lose!

A few hours later, Kim Dong-hwan received a list of Chinese participants.

After reading the list from beginning to end, Kim Dong-hwan was dumbfounded.

What? Gu Xiaobai didn't come!

How could he not come!
