570, what do you say you pretend (2/3)
Li Dan refers to the song that Li Xiang improvised on "The Summer of the Band", which also became a hot search and appeared on the hot search list.
Li Xiang didn't care about these and continued to watch the video.
This episode requires the band to adapt the song, and the first to appear are the Jiulianshan Band and the Baboon Army, they adapted Zhou Xingda's song, which is relatively simpler.
Zhou Xingda himself is a rock singer, and the song is better adapted.
However, for the Jiulianshan Band, it is more disadvantageous. Because they are a dialect band, now they give up their strengths and sing a Mandarin song, there will only be two results, either the response is good or bad, and the audience's expectations drop greatly.
Before this, the Jiulianshan Band had never sung Mandarin songs, and no one knew if they were good at it.
The reason why the dark horses became dark horses is because of their surprise, when they lose this unpredictability, the mystery disappears, and whether they can maintain their charm and catch the ears of the audience, which is a test of the comprehensive strength of the band.
Their opponents, the Baboon Legion, are a very strong and established band, and the number of members crushes them.
The Baboon Legion, as the name suggests, has nine members! It is the largest number of bands participating in this competition, while Jiulianshan has only three, a lead singer and rhythm guitarist, a lead guitarist and suona player, and a drummer.
As far as Li Xiang is concerned, of course he hopes that Jiulian Mountain will be promoted, and maybe, for Ma Dong and them, they will also be more inclined to Jiulian Mountain.
Jiulian Mountain came to the stage full of everyone's expectations and curiosity, the two bands each occupied a stage, the baboon army was full of personnel, and Jiulian Mountain seemed to be much empty.
"Is there anything Li Xiang would like to say to Jiulian Mountain?" Ma Dong asked Li Xiang in advance.
Li Xiang: "Just enjoy the stage, and leave the rest to the audience and judges." ”
"Thank you~~~" The three of the lead singers Ah Min bowed to Li Xiang.
Ma Dong asked again: "We are all curious about Jiulian Mountain singing Mandarin songs, have you heard Li Xiang?"
"It's also my first time listening to it, so I'm looking forward to it. ”
"Then do you think Jiulian Mountain can defeat the Baboon Legion and advance smoothly?"
"Look at the scene. ”
Li Xiang didn't say too much, and he hadn't heard Jiulian Mountain sing songs other than dialects.
Ma Dong asked the lead singer of the Baboon Legion what he thought of the game.
The lead singer of the Baboon Legion is an ordinary-looking young man, he said: "We are very confident that we will advance, even if Li wants to help Jiulian Mountain, it is useless, and it is still us who will be promoted in the end." ”
There were boos at the scene, Li Xiang smiled, didn't feel at ease, put down the microphone, and stopped talking.
Amin immediately said: "Although the number of baboon legions is several times that of us, good music is not made by the number of people, and we will definitely win." ”
He was very modest just now, but when he heard that the baboon army pulled Li Xiangye into the water, he immediately fought back not to be outdone.
The two bands guess the fist to decide who comes first and who comes last, and the baboon army loses, and they sing first.
The Baboon Legion sang Zhou Xingda's latest single "So Far".
I have to say, the live of these bands is fantastic. It is a band that has been established for more than ten years, and they cooperate very well with each other, and the typhoon is also very good, far from being comparable to other rookie talent shows.
The Jiulianshan Band sang a relatively unpopular song from Zhou Xingda's "So Far" album, called "The Old Road Baiyun", and even the name is very obscure.
Li Xiang and Zhang Yuan nodded at the same time, the temperament of this song is very in line with Jiulian Mountain, and the song is very right.
The final score of the two bands was 290:275, with Jiulianshan in front and the winner.
The total score is 360 points, and neither team has a high score, but as long as they win against each other, it will be fine.
The army of baboons who had just spoken cruelly were eliminated from the competition.
With the opening of Jiulian Mountain and the Baboon Army, the bands collided with each other and staged a good show.
The sixth bands to appear are the Flying Spur Band and the Idol Band.
The singer they chose happened to be Li Xiang.
The idol band is 5 young and handsome young men who greet Li Xiang with respect and choose his hit song "Sunny Day" as the song arrangement.
The Flying Spur Band chose to sing the difficult and relatively cold "Pushing the Door of the World".
Before the start of the singing, Ma Dong briefly interviewed the other party as usual, asked why the idol band chose the adaptation of "Sunny Day", and asked why the Flying Spur band chose "Push the Door of the World".
The answer of the idol band was polite, but the flying spur band was not so slick.
"I couldn't find a better song, so I chose this one. ”
The scene was cold for a moment, Ma Dong smiled a little embarrassedly, and seeing that Li Xiang had no intention of speaking, he immediately changed the topic.
Ma Dong knew that the Flying Spur Band was not very good at talking, and he almost couldn't get off the stage in the last issue.
Although Li Xiang doesn't like the Flying Band very much, I have to say that Lao Pao'er is Lao Pao'er, and in terms of stage performance, he completely crushes the immature young people of idol bands.
There were no surprises, with the Flying Spur winning 287-230.
The game is over, but the comments have just begun.
As usual, the host people commented on the two bands that performed the performance, because the adapted songs were all from Li Xiang, so Ma Dong asked Li Xiang to come first.
"Pushing the Door of the World" is not one of Li Xiang's hottest singles, but it is definitely a special one for him, not only the pressing song that won the championship of "Today's Star", but also carries many different emotions.
The Flying Spur Band adapted such an affectionate, lyrical song into hard rock, and in Li Xiang's opinion, he lost the feelings contained in the song, leaving only an emotionless cry, which made him very awkward.
And Gao Lun, the lead singer of the Flying Spur Band, believes that this song is more suitable for the hard rock fan, through shouting, bidding farewell to the old world and welcoming the new world, which is a kind of rock spirit in it, which is different from the expression of traditional pop music.
The two of them gradually became more serious when they talked.
"Do you know rock 'n' roll?" said Golen impatiently, his face dark, unhappy written all over his face.
"You don't play rock 'n' roll, you can come, but you don't have to comment on the idea, you are young, you don't have enough experience, you can't understand the spirit of rock 'n' roll. ”
As soon as the words fell, the scene seemed to be suspended, and everyone didn't react for a while, and they were stunned.
The second scene where all the bands were resting and waiting was in an uproar~~~ I didn't expect Gao Lun of the Flying Band to be so rigid! Even if some of them disagreed with Li Xiang, they would never say this in the show, is this here to smash the scene?
At the scene, Li Xiang's reaction was very fast, and he immediately shot back: "There are many kinds of musical expressions, but there are no kinds of music, whether it is folk or rock, or jazz or reggae, it is just a way of expression, they are all the same, they are all to express the feelings of the work, so I don't know why you keep emphasizing that you are playing rock, playing rock is more advanced than others? I don't know where you got your sense of superiority." ”
Since Gao Lun said it, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said without showing weakness: "I don't have a sense of superiority, I just have more experience than you, I have seen, heard, and experienced more than you, when I sang rock and roll, you were still wearing open crotch pants, and I didn't know where to play in any corner, so don't tell me the truth, I know these better than you, it's just that we people who play rock don't like to say it." ”
The scene was silent at this time, and no one expected such an on-site accident to occur.
Ouyang Xiaojing next to Li Xiang was already pale with fright, she was younger than Li Xiang, 18 years old, she was chased and held by people on the show before, and she had never encountered this kind of situation, so she just looked at Li Xiang in a daze, frightened.
Li Xiang smiled at her, signaled her not to be afraid, and continued to say to Gao Lun: "You are indeed older than me in terms of age, when you played rock and roll, I was indeed very young, and I couldn't even speak, but my understanding of music has nothing to do with age. For example, if my two albums have sold more than 20 million copies, can all of your records sell 5 million combined?......
"I still have four Golden Melody trophies in my study, do you have them? Have you been shortlisted?"
"I also won the Literature Award, and the trophy is also placed in my study, with the Golden Melody Trophy, do you have it?
"You say, what do you compare to me?!!! am I qualified to sit here and comment on you singing my songs?!!!"
"Don't say that you sing a song written by me, even if you sing a song by another singer, I can still comment, you can disagree, but don't question my qualifications, if I am not qualified, then you tell me why I am sitting on the judges' bench and you are performing on stage? If you are not convinced, you can leave this stage!"
"I believe that the bands who come to participate in "The Summer of the Band" are all holding the drums and shouting for Chinese rock, and they can put down their bodies and perform sincerely, to show the spirit of Chinese rock, this spirit does not contain arrogance, so since you are here, don't put on a score, what do you pretend, what do you say you pretend!"
