Chapter 218: Are You Ready?
In this ten-in-five game, Friday eliminated their opponent Xiao Yizhen with almost full votes and advanced to the top five in the country, directly establishing their status as the "big devil" in the show "Singing Leading".
Many people have paid more attention to Song Yuzhe before, and even when the show was just broadcast, there were rumors on the Internet that Song Yuzhe would be designated as the champion.
Friday received attention, but not much attention, even if he was jointly recommended by the three mentors during the audition, he still did not get a high degree of favorability, and Lin Jie's fans felt that Liu Jingxin's refusal to be promoted in his personal name was not to give Lin Jie face, and it was a shameless act that should be criticized by the mouth.
But as the game progressed one by one, Friday gained more and more attention, and the number of fans became more and more, and the number of votes on the Internet even surpassed that of Song Yuzhe.
Although this is a small step forward for rock music in this day and age, it is finally a step forward, and it is very significant!
After the recording of the program ended that night, Chang Yisen was very happy to pull Friday Five and Zeng Shuang in his room, order takeout and eat supper together, and several people chatted together.
Chang Yisen suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Jingxin and the others: "In fact, as far as I know, in the past ten years, many people have been working hard to promote the revival of rock music in China. The results are obvious, the effect is not obvious, rock music is still a utopia for a few, only some popular bands can barely get along, many bands with real personalities disbanded one after another, and many musicians who were once active on the stage are now going to different industries and barely making ends meet on their meager income. ”
Originally, the atmosphere in the room was very cheerful, but after Chang Yisen suddenly said this, the air seemed to freeze, and the five of them looked sad and stopped talking.
Chang Yisen's words are very realistic, and it is because of reality that they are cruel.
The word "underground band" used to represent independent and niche music, a unique style that is different from mainstream music, although it is only circulated in bars, concerts and other occasions, there is still a large number of supporters, and the musicians can still live a bright life even if they are in the dark.
But now, the "underground band" only represents the tombstones in the world of music, in which countless dreams are buried.
An underground band?
Chang Yisen didn't seem to care about the deterioration of the atmosphere in the room, he sighed lightly and said: "After more than ten years of verification, although those who promote rock music have not succeeded, and even can't stop rock music from regressing in this era, they have come to a conclusion: if you want rock music to be truly revived, and if you want independent musicians to really be able to make music without worry, then a band needs to be able to stand up." By the way, with that said, I feel the need to call someone over. ”
As he spoke, Chang Yisen took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Have you slept yet......?" In my room, we didn't go out...... Haha, it's a guest here, how can we bully you......"
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Lin Jie walked in.
"Yo he, the food is good, why do you want to call me over?" After Lin Jie entered the room, he nodded to Friday and Zeng Shuang with a smile, then took the chair handed over by Bao Yi and sat among the crowd, picked up a string of red hairy belly and ate it by himself: "Well, it's crispy, not bad!"
Chang Yisen sat next to Lin Jie and said with a smile: "We chatted and talked about promoting rock music, so I think it is necessary to call you over to talk together." Haven't you been trying to promote rock 'n' roll all these years?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jingxin and they were all stunned.
Lin Jie is known as the king of pop, and he has been promoting rock music?
However, Liu Jingxin and the others thought about it for a while, but suddenly woke up, Lin Jie has indeed performed in the form of a band on many occasions, and has also made rock-style adaptations of many songs in some programs, hasn't he been promoting rock music? If it weren't for his mentor show, the five people on Friday would not have finally voted to go to the Sunshine District first, but went directly to the Magic District, and it is estimated that there would not be a "joint recommendation of the three mentors" in the future.
Lin Jie shook his head with a smile, didn't answer, and continued to eat skewers.
Zhang Xun asked bluntly: "Mentor Lin Jie, I want to know, since you like rock music so much, why do you want to only give Brother Jingxin a promotion during the audition, instead of our band?"
It was actually very impolite to ask this question, which made the atmosphere in the room tense all of a sudden.
Lin Jie put down the skewers in his hand: "Because I hope you can go further, in this era, most people look at this group of people who play rock and roll with colored glasses, thinking that they should be dirty, don't smoke those forbidden things, don't play with women everywhere, don't fight and make trouble, don't rock 'n' roll, and even many rock lovers think so." What a sad thing! The living environment of bands at home and abroad is different, and even foreign bands are not all like that. You play in a band and do indie music, and I don't think the audience will accept it well, and if you are looked at with such colored glasses again, I am really worried that you will not go far in this show. As it turned out, I was wrong, but I was wrong. Look at you guys, how popular are you now?"
Zhang Xun scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not very popular, it's too far from you." ”
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere just now was swept away.
In the past, Liu Jingxin looked at Lin Jie, and always felt that this king of pop should be high and could only look up. Who would have thought that one day they would be able to sit with Lin Jie like friends and have supper.
Thinking that when Lin Jie said his expectations for Friday a long time ago, it also aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhang Xun and others, feeling that Lin Jie's expectations for them had too much weight, and that weight should not be borne by them.
Perhaps, that weight, they have already carried it unconsciously.
Lin Jie said: "There is one more game, and you will enter the national finals." This finals will be broadcast live on the whole network, and the stage scale is not small, are you ready?"
"What preparations?" asked Liu Jingxin.
Lin Jie suddenly restrained his smile and said, "Use this as a springboard to prepare for a leap towards the new world." As you can imagine, you may be saddled with a lot of slander from so-called rock lovers in the future, and a lot of pressure from the outside world......"
"Ready!" Liu Jingxin said.
