Chapter 741: A Love Song! (Second Update)
Zhou Xing's invitation to the Black Bat Band was not a whim, nor was it sympathy for them, but an idea that Zhou Xing had after participating in the rematch.
Of course, Zhou Xing's idea was the program for the finals, and he had already thought about it at that time, and he needed a band to help him, not that he wanted to find the Black Bat Band at that time.
In the finals program, Zhou Xing is ready to sing a love song, a song that can fully express his purpose for coming to the United States and his own mental journey, no program can replace the popular song of a group that swept the world in his previous life, because compared to Zhou Xing's current situation, that song is too suitable, and the lyrics are almost written into his heart - that is what he wants to say.
And this song, Zhou Xing didn't plan to get the first place with it, the only purpose was to sing it to Jura, as for other people's feelings, Zhou Xing didn't care.
After all, the finals were broadcast on NBC TV stations in the United States, and they were broadcast live, and Zhou Xing worked hard for three episodes and prepared three programs, just to enter the platform that can be broadcast in the United States and has very high ratings.
As for the first three divisional competitions, it is just a stepping stone for Zhou Xing.
Of course, it would be great if Jura could see it and come to him, but there must still be preparation, what if Jura still doesn't show up after the final in the Los Angeles division is broadcast?
Since he wants to find a band to cooperate with him, the Black Bat Band, who has now missed the finals, is Zhou Xing's candidate.
Previously, Zhou Xing had specifically asked Robert to learn about them, and knew that they were still college students, and they were located in the Conservatory of Music of the old Jincheng University in the same California.
Choosing them, on the one hand, Zhou Xing really doesn't know other bands with a level in the United States, and Black Bat's performance level is already very good, which has been praised by Pierce, if they sing any classic work in this final, and at the same time incorporate their arrangement, not to mention surpassing Frank, but it will definitely be no problem to win third.
Another aspect is that they insist on the spirit of originality, which shows that they have their own pride, Zhou Xing doesn't believe that they don't know the risk of singing this original song today, but they still choose to do so, which is enough to prove their persistence - if a band can have such persistence and strength, they will not worry about not developing in the future.
Although Zhou Xing has registered the copyright of this song in China and the United States, if he has not participated in the show, it will be leaked out in advance, and the live broadcast may not have such a big response at that time.
Zhou Xing can indeed defend his rights and even make them pay the price, but he doesn't want to leave regrets about his plan.
It is based on these two points that Zhou Xing threw an olive branch to them.
Hearing Zhou Xing's words, the four people who had just looked gloomy were stunned for a moment, and they seemed to be a little unable to believe that 'joy fell from the sky'!
Every contestant who participates in the talent show is either running for the prize money or fame, but either way, they are naturally eager to enter the finals.
Although the Black Bat Band has been eliminated, even if Zhou Xing invites them, they will participate as assistant actors, and they will not have a chance to win money, and they are more famous than Zhou Xing, but it is an honor for people all over the United States to participate in the finals of the talent show.
In the face of such an invitation, no one will be willing to refuse, not to mention that the person invited is still Zhou Xing, who will definitely be the favorite to enter the finals - according to his performances in these three phases, he is versatile, and he can do the ultimate in every aspect of the key, this kind of player has always been very popular in the talent show.
After the four of them were sluggish, the female drummer named Emma, who was a little more outgoing, hesitated: "Mr. Zhou Xing, what you said is true?
The other three didn't speak, but their eyes were the same.
Zhou Xing smiled and said: "You see, after I participated in the talent show, although I occasionally joked, I never joked whenever I had serious business, and now, I solemnly invite you, are you willing?"
A flash of surprise flashed across Emma's face, and the other three couldn't help but be overjoyed, from hell to heaven, at this moment they had a kind of release that swept away the haze.
"Yes, of course we do!" Emma's head nodded like a chick pecking rice.
The other three, bassist Nick, lead guitarist Brian, and rhythm guitar and vocalist Kevin, also nodded their heads at the moment, for fear that they would miss the opportunity if they agreed a little later.
However, after coming back to her senses, Emma thought about it, a trace of confusion flashed on her face, and after looking at the three partners, the lead singer Kevin asked weakly:
"Mr. Zhou Xing, can you ask what do you need us to cooperate with, is it to be the accompaniment of your songs, or to use the background music for your performances?"
Zhou Xing said: "I sing, I need you to help me accompaniment, as well as some harmonic parts." β
"What?" the four were a little surprised again.
Because just now they were thinking that Zhou Xing chose them because they were a band, and the only thing they could do was to accompaniment or make background music, but they never thought that Zhou Xing would give them a chance to harmonize, although it was just harmony, but it could be regarded as opening their voices.
However, Kevin then asked a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou Xing, can you ask one more question, do you sing your own songs, orβ"
As he spoke, Kevin's face turned red, apparently embarrassed himself.
But this time Zhou Xing didn't wait for him to finish asking, so he said firmly: "I wrote the song myself, so you don't have to worry, I only have one request, before the live broadcast of the finals, there is no leakage, otherwise I will definitely not spare him!"
Hearing the previous words, the four of them were completely relieved and extremely excited, and the latter sentence made their hearts sink.
Although they didn't see the kung fu performed by Zhou Xing's family when they recorded the show before, they had heard about those 'thrilling' methods just now, and now when they heard Zhou Xing's 'threat', they were naturally in awe, and hurriedly said that they wouldn't.
In fact, at this time, after Robert called them for a meeting, Robert and Matthew came out last, saw them gathered around, and understood after listening to a few words, and quickly walked to Zhou Xing's side and asked.
After receiving Zhou Xing's confirmed reply, Robert and Matthew were also very happy.
Anyway, they actually appreciate the Black Bat Band very much, but these guys are too stubborn, and before recording the finals, he suggested that they change to a classic song, but they were unwilling, and they are now eliminated.
And now, I can see that they also have a chance to enter the finals, although they are supporting roles, but they are always from their Los Angeles division.
