Chapter 12: Hip-Hop Underground

After five days, Su Fan finally arrived home with the two, and as soon as the two of them arrived home, they hid in their small room to choose songs, in order to prepare for the finals of the new singing audition the day after tomorrow, Su Fan didn't care too much about the new singing, just let them play freely.

Su Fan had nothing to do while staying at home, so he took the car to the Hunter's Bar.

The Hunter Bar is a small and medium-sized bar in the south of the city, and it is the resident performance bar of the Ice and Fire Band, and the owner Xie Liang has known Liu Yunbing for nearly ten years, so the Ice and Fire Band has always been a resident performance in this bar.

In addition to performing here, Ice & Fire also occasionally tours other bars and nightclubs, and for these night venues, as long as you perform well and can bring the atmosphere in the store, many new performance groups are welcome.

When Su Fan arrived at the Hunter's Bar, it was almost half past six in the afternoon, and there were already some customers in the store.

"Xiaofan, you're here. A man wearing a yellow T-shirt and pants with a big flower pants and a thick necklace around his neck greeted him behind the bar, and this man was the bar owner, Xie Liang.

Xie Liang is about thirty-three or four-year-old, with very white skin, wearing a black sunglasses, according to Sister Yun Bing, he used to be a member of the hip-hop industry, played in the circle for a few years, and later opened this bar.

"Brother Liang, it's been two years since I finally went out to play for a few days, and you still urge me every day, asking me to come back quickly, what is the big deal in the hip-hop world you are talking about. ”

Xie Liang called a waiter to ask him to look at the shop, and then put his arm around Su Fan to find a place in the corner of the hall, the two sat down, and Xie Liang told Su Fan what had happened.

It turned out that Yanjing Satellite TV was going to hold a music talent show in the hip-hop industry, pushing this niche music to the foreground, with the purpose of discovering some excellent underground rappers and giving them a stage to show their talents.

In today's music scene, the most popular is pop music, pop music is considered to be today's mainstream music, because there are many people who like it normally, so there are a lot of classic songs and kings and queens, and the status and value of these big singers are also very high.

It can be said that the value of a king-level singer is equivalent to the value of half of all rappers in the hip-hop industry, which shows the status gap and popularity of pop music and hip-hop rap music.

In addition to pop music, Chinese folk and rock music also account for a part of the market, which can be regarded as part of the mainstream music because it conforms to the public's aesthetic concept.

Because the theme of society is harmony, rap songs such as rap are labeled as alternative, rough, and indecent and marginalized by the market, and they are basically not ranked on major music charts.

Because its style is with a rebellious, cynical style.

In the public's impression, hip-hop players are a group of people with dirty braids and bizarre hairstyles, wearing exaggerated and bizarre clothes, and their clothes are painted with distinctive patterns.

In short, this is a group of people who seem to have a sense of disobedience, a group of people who will bring bad social atmosphere, a group of people who have a bad impression on most people, and the mainstream music industry looks down on them, so they generally only perform underground.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding of them in this society, rappers tell stories in a half-talking, half-singing, talking and singing way, they are singing with emotions, they rap when they are happy, they talk and sing when they are angry, they rap when they are lost, they compare to those pop songs, they show their true inner self is a way of singing that can really move people's hearts.

Yanjing Satellite TV wants to hold a talent show about hip-hop to discover and promote those rappers from the underground, so that these young people who like hip-hop music can have a stage to show their talents, and also to let more people understand hip-hop and this niche group, so that hip-hop style and folk style and rock style become a part of pop music, rather than a marginalized niche music.

The idea of this show can be said to be very bold, you must know that hip-hop has appeared in China for almost 17 years, but it has been popular underground, once the program is broadcast and causes controversy, it will be a great loss to Yanjing Satellite TV.

After all, it takes a lot of investment to make a talent show, and if it stops halfway, it will undoubtedly be a big loss to the TV station.

However, Yanjing Satellite TV still decided to do this show, and the program team will definitely come down, and the program team will send invitations to rap labels, groups, and individuals across the country, and also send invitations to bars and nightclubs around the country, inviting people who like hip-hop to gather in Yanjing and hold a grand hip-hop party.

In the past few days when Su Fan went out to play, the hip-hop scene across the country has been boiling, because this circle is too niche, and almost no rappers can appear on TV programs.

In recent years, Chinese talent shows have become popular, and programs such as Huaguo New Singing Voice, which hold new talent shows, have become popular with many newcomers.

Now Yanjing Satellite TV is holding a talent show specifically for the hip-hop industry, and if you are strong enough, it is possible to become famous from this stage in one fell swoop.

As soon as the invitation came out, the world was crowded.

It's for fame, and it's also for a big gathering in the hip-hop world.

Next Tuesday, there will be a live audition for Huaguo's hip-hop, and there will also be three groups of mystery star producers who have not yet been announced.

Xie Liang, the owner of the Hunter Bar, looked for Su Fan to tell him about it, Su Fan has been in the Hunter Bar for two years, Xie Liang feels that this Huaguo hip-hop is an opportunity, even if he can't enter the finals, he can enter the audition and show his face on TV, maybe some companies will be able to take a fancy to him.

Besides, it is also helpful to face off against the masters of the hip-hop world on stage to let him personally understand and grow in this circle.

At that time, the most well-known Wanhuahui, Wudu and rap clubs in the Chinese hip-hop circle will have members to participate, and many members of the hip-hop groups in Yanjing City will also appear in the ring.

Xie Liang knew that there were many hip-hop masters in Huaguo this time, and it would be a very difficult thing to pass among these masters, and if Su Fan could pass the audition, it would already be the ideal answer in his heart.

Su Fan has been in this circle for two years, and he is naturally very familiar with well-known groups and masters in China.

If it was before, Su Fan would just go to have a fun at most, and he didn't dare to expect any ranking, but now he has all the skills related to hip-hop, and after listening to Xie Liang's explanation, Su Fan also has some desire to win the championship in his heart.

Or, your road to fame and the road to the music scene will start here.
