Chapter 107: The opponent is strong
Like the Legend of the Phoenix, the Phoenix and the Dragon in this world combine elements of folk songs with electronic music, rap, ethnic singing and pop singing, forming a very localized and cool national style.
It's a pity that because of the different time and space backgrounds, the Chinese public in this world has relatively high requirements for pop music, so Phoenix and Dragon have not been able to become popular here.
In the eight years they have been in the arts, they have never entered the top 20,000 in APM China.
Looking at the official website, their highest ranking in domestic history is 29,588.
Having a club background, they were able to show their faces in some of the Challengers.
However, after terminating their contracts with the club in the last two years, Phoenix and Dragon's record has plummeted.
With a rare win, they have been reduced to playing in A Hau to earn points and return to the ranks of the Challenger.
At present, the two have 6 APM points, and they are still a few wins away from returning to the bigger challenge stage.
The two insist on their own style, work the road of cool national style, and want to go all the way to the end.
It's a pity that the audience generally doesn't like this style of music.
Look at the two of them's playing records over the past period.
They have already turned around the Ahao in the northwest region, including the Inner Mongolia region, which is most accepting of their cool ethnic style, but they have not yet accumulated enough points to jump out of the threshold of Ahao.
It can be seen how difficult the situation of the two is now.
In fact, the competition in the domestic music scene is so fierce and cruel.
Not only Phoenix and Dragon, but most singers without club backgrounds have a very difficult time coming forward.
There is no club to give them points in their own competitions, and it is even more difficult for most independent singers to rush out of A Hao to advance to the challenge tournament and keep more than 10 points.
This is also the most important reason why so many singers have to sell themselves to the club.
The phoenix and the dragon are very distinctive, though.
But like the previous two players, they shouldn't pose any threat to Jiang Dongliu.
The fifth and sixth places in the field are the Polaris and the Dread, which are the real threat.
These two rookie bands are all from Salt Lake Walkers, the most powerful singer club in the Salt Pond area.
Among them, the Band of Fear is a heavy-duty newcomer band that Salt Lake Walkers will focus on this year.
They only officially entered the professional music scene after the Spring Festival this year.
In the previous three online matchmaking matches, their record was the same as Jiang Dongliu's, and they achieved three consecutive victories.
The 100% winning record shows the strength of this young band.
Tang Zhi checked the information of the Fear Band on the Internet, and also watched the video of their previous game.
I couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Dongliu.
The style of the band of Dread is very similar to that of the big man, and they are very violent heavy metal bands.
This kind of band is a complete foul in playing in A-Ho, because their music is so impactful and oppressive, and few spectators can withstand such a heavy metal torrent as they are.
And their lead singer Hou Xiaoyong has an extremely sharp metal gun voice, which is much more tense than Hao Han's black core voice, and the scene is extremely infectious.
Because of this, he was also named "Little Shooting Wolf", and he is one of the newcomers that Salt Lake Walkers focus on cultivating.
The Band of Dreads is also known as the "Little Northwest Wolves".
Their music is modeled after the Salt Lake Walkers' signature heavy band, the Northwest Wolves.
The APM ranking of Northwest Wolves has been stable in the top 100 in the country and is one of the most influential heavy bands in the country.
Each member of their band has a "wolf" title.
Among them, the lead singer Dou Fei took the wolf number "Shooting the Wolf".
He is one of the most famous metal guns in the Chinese music scene, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first gun voice in the northwest.
Hou Xiaoyong is called "Little Shooting Wolf", you can imagine how outstanding this kid's voice talent is.
Although they are still in the stage of imitating the Northwest Wolves, the repertoire of their previous competitions is also all covers of the classic works of the Northwest Wolves.
But the Band of Dreads have shown themselves to be far superior to their peers, and in time, they will be able to unleash a new wave of heavy metal in the Northwest.
Facing this kind of foul-level opponent, Tang Zhizhen was worried about Jiang Dongliu, afraid that Jiang Dongliu would suffer a loss if he competed with this kind of heavy band.
Compared to the Band of Fear, the strength of the Band of Polaris is relatively weak.
But this folk rookie band also achieved an impressive record of three wins in four games in the online matchmaking stage.
It's not like the Band of Dread hasn't played a game in the A Howe stage.
Polaris have played 10 games in the A-Hall and have a lot of experience.
However, their record in the A-Ho stage was not particularly impressive, with only three second-place finishes and two third-place finishes, and they never won the championship.
Their current APM points are 8.
This is also the highest score among the 16 groups of singers competing in the same competition.
Polaris and the Band of Fear sat on the home court of Yanchi, one after another, it is conceivable that their competition will definitely set off a small high dynasty of the night's competition, I don't know what kind of impact it will have on Jiang Dongliu's results.
Among the 10 groups of singers after the Band of Fear, Tang Zhi carefully checked their resumes and found that the strength of these people was uneven.
Among them, only the No. 11 singer Gao Feng, and the last No. 16 female rock band to appear are "incomplete", which has the strength to impact Jiangdongliu.
The No. 11 contestant, Gao Feng, is also a singer under the Salt Lake Walkers.
Although he signed up alone, he can see that there is actually a mature band behind the peak.
Gao Feng, like Hou Xiaoyong of the Fear Band, is a 20-year-old young rocker.
Looking at the record, Gao Feng achieved a high-quality record of 3 wins in 5 games in the online matching stage, and played two games in the A Hao competition, both of which won the runner-up.
This record does not look as dazzling as the total victory record of the Little Northwest Wolf, but Tang Zhi listened to Gao Feng's work.
She herself thinks that Gao Feng's singing is more textured and compelling than that of Hou Xiaoyong.
Gao Feng's covers are all old songs of independent rockers with a lot of personality, he has the hard-core style of the older generation of rockers, and his half-dumb voice is full of magnetism, which makes people listen to it with endless aftertaste.
After watching the video of Gao Feng's A Hao competition, Tang Zhi felt more worried, she felt that this Gao Feng might be more challenging to Jiang Dongliu than the fear band that had never participated in the A Hao competition.
This kid has won two runners-up in the Black Sheep Club in a row, and the momentum is strong, and with more efforts, he has the possibility of an upset and championship.
The last "incomplete" band to appear is from the second strongest singer club in the Yanchi area, "Sons of the Wind".
Although there is a gap in grade between the Windson and the Salt Lake Walker, it is only a mid-ranked C-level club.
But this singers' club, which specializes in rock music and is not attached to any group company, has very distinct personalities among its rockers.
According to the words in the circle, the son of the wind specializes in crazy rockers, such as the ancestor of Chinese domestic joke rock "Eight Hand Rose", who was born in this C-level singer club.
