Chapter 59: I think this song is a bit pompous
The show is over.
The studio was silent, silent without a single sound.
Whether it was the audience, guests, staff, or the assistants and executive directors in the control room, everyone lowered their heads, as if they were afraid, their eyes were wandering, and no one dared to look directly at the stage.
Gasping for breath, four young men wearing fox masks and white suits came to the center of the stage, bowed side by side to the audience, then picked up the keyboards they had smashed to the ground, turned around and walked back to the preparation area on the side of the stage.
"Hey, go up!"
It was the director of the scene who was the first to recover from the shock of the music, pushed Han Tao, who was standing beside him, and signaled him to hurry up to the stage to continue hosting the show.
"Oh, okay..."
Obviously, Han Tao was still a little dazed, and after hearing the director's urging, he took the microphone and walked onto the stage in a trance.
"Well, thank you for this song... Forehead... This one..."
After a long time, because he didn't know the name of the song, he looked at the on-site director for help, hoping to get some hints in the headset.
Unfortunately, to his despair, the director just shook his head and then gave him a gesture to skip here.
"Uh, bring this song. ”
Awkwardly smoothed the name of the song, and just as Han Tao was about to continue the next process, there was a wave of applause in the studio.
"Wanton! Wanton!"
The audience stood up from their seats one after another, applauding and shouting the name of the band, seeing this scene, Lin Xiangxiang in the console laughed self-deprecatingly.
She thought of the editing she had made before to highlight the contradictions, the scripts she had designed for the popularity of the topic, and the handsome men and women she had deliberately selected to attract attention.
All of this was ruthlessly revealed by this song whose name she didn't know yet.
The angry accusations of the singers, the sharp criticism in the lyrics, and even the instruments are full of bitter irony.
With a long sigh, Lin Xiangxiang suddenly understood what the boss had told her at the Kyoto Conservatory of Music:
"The greatest charm of music is identity!"
It's not just about the songs, it's about the musicians.
"Next, let's invite Miss Meow and the two groups of contestants to return to the stage. ”
After the applause gradually subsided, Han Tao was already completely sober, watched the wanton band follow Miss Meow onto the stage, and asked with a smile:
"Hello guys, first of all, I want to ask all the audience friends who must have been curious about a question for a long time, that is, what is the name of the rap or rock song that a few people just sang?"
"Name?"
Hearing this question, as the lead singer of the band, Shen Yiran did not hesitate to give an answer:
"This song is called "Enough, Let the Storm Come More Violently"!"
Thirteen words, and there are broken sentences.
Such song titles are rare in the Han Kingdom.
After silently reading both sides in his heart and writing down the name of the song, Han Tao nodded, looked in the direction of the guest seat, and continued:
"Mentor Xiao Jingbo, what do you think of the performance of the two contestants tonight?"
Originally, according to the script, Xiao Jingbo needed to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the two songs, and then say some positive and ambiguous words to create some suspense for the next vote.
But at this time, he was reluctant to say the established lines, but took a sip of water, moistened his throat and said:
"Miss Meow's performance is very stable, just as good as in the audition, but she is unfortunate to meet the band. ”
Giving a thumbs up to the stage, Xiao Jingbo continued:
"Rap rock with a black voice and a cappella is a genius arrangement, and thirty-five years ago, I heard the flies live, and after they broke up, I thought that no one would try this kind of music again, but, today, I want to say, I am honored to be able to sit here, because I feel the shock of the vocals again. ”
After Xiao Jingbo finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to the stage, as an evergreen tree in the Han music scene, he personally experienced the glory and decline of Chinese music.
For more than 20 years, at first he was worried about the increasingly bad creative environment and the deteriorating quality of his songs, but as time went by, various phenomena in the circle made him more and more sleek, and he no longer had the most primitive passion for music.
Nowadays, singing is more like a job for him than a love.
"Uh... Thank you Tutor Xiao Jingbo for your speech, and let's listen to whether Tutor Cai Jiachun has any different views. ”
found that the host had changed the topic to himself, Cai Jiachun was silent for a long time before whispering:
"They sing about who they really are, we live a hypocritical life, on stage, off stage, I can't tell who is wearing a mask?"
Cai Jiachun's voice is very natural and simple, completely devoid of the pretentious feeling before.
"Enough, trying to be trampled on by entertainment, barely supporting the embarrassment of the surface scenery..."
hummed a lyric quietly, Cai Jiachun felt that her nose was a little sour, everyone could only see her scenery as a star, and who could know the bitterness behind a woman when she was crawling and rolling in the entertainment industry.
"Sister Cai, Sister Cai. ”
Hearing Han Chen beside him call himself, Cai Jiachun took all his emotions back to his heart, sniffed and said:
"I blew up Miss Meow in the preliminary round, and I was very satisfied with her performance tonight, but I must say that this song by the band made a deeper impression on me. ”
Both mentors gave undisputed opinions, for such comments, Lin Xiangxiang, who was sitting in the general control room, did not feel any surprise, not to mention that the scripts stipulate that all three lights are passed, the appeal of this song alone is already destined for such a result.
Just as she was waiting for Han Chen to finally make a summary, she only heard a voice from the monitoring headphones that surprised her:
"I think the song is a bit pompous. ”
That's right, the person who said this sentence was none other than Han Chen.
In Lin Xiangxiang's incredible expression, I only heard him continue:
"As a rocker, I admit it's a very good rap rock, and the first half of the satire on online violence is also in place.
However, about the second half, I think the creators are biased against the music industry, and now many people like to exaggerate some small things in order to attract attention and hype themselves, and like to highlight themselves in a critical way, so I am skeptical about their original intention of singing this song, although I was the first to turn around for them during the audition. ”
