Chapter 60: Rock 'n' Roll Is Just a Form of Music
Han Chen doesn't like rock 'n' roll.
But he knows that fans of rock music tend to be the most loyal, crazier and most inclusive.
Depraved, rebellious, extreme, violent, and sexual!
These terms, which seem to be somewhat negative in the eyes of ordinary people, are perfectly normal for most rock lovers in Han Kingdom, and even many immature young people will regard them as a label of personality.
Therefore, when the sex scandal with underage fans last year was exposed by the paparazzi, he knew that the route of idol singers almost did not have much room for improvement.
Although he still has a high popularity, with the emergence of more and more newcomers Xiao Xianrou, the sharp decline in various data makes him clear that if he doesn't want to be eliminated from the entertainment industry in a few years.
Then, he must urgently transform and develop into a group that can accept the stain on himself.
For this reason, the company defined it as the image of a youth rock mentor in the program "The First Voice".
Because in the Han Kingdom, it seems that as long as the word rock is stained, any moral deficiency can be forgiven by the public.
From the audition to the semi-finals, during this time, Han Chen accurately exploded the lights according to the set lines, and interpreted the impression of rock musicians in the eyes of the public little by little.
But as Li Wanxiang told him, shouting a few RockRoll slogans, turning around for a few rock players, and fooling fans is okay, obviously it can't completely change the audience's original opinion of him.
He needed something more sophisticated, detailed, and topical to make his image completely transformed.
So, according to Li Wanxiang's arrangement, the live video was leaked, and when fans and passers-by criticized the band, on the recording of the rematch, he took the mistake on himself in public, apologized for the previous incident, and tried his best to maintain the reputation of the contestants.
Two steps, just two steps.
An upright, honest, responsible, and rock-minded image was created.
However, this step alone is far from enough, in the words of Li Wanxiang.
Only when there is controversy can there be popularity, and only when there is popularity can there be popularity.
Just apologizing, apparently not generating much interest in the audience.
So, I only heard Han Chen in the guest seat say impassionedly:
"Rock 'n' roll is a spirit, a spirit of fighting against the world, not an imaginary utopia, not a refuge of reality, and not a tool to vent negative emotions. ”
Standing up from his seat and tapping his fingers on the table of the guest seats, Han Chen continued with a little emotion:
"During the audition, your positive and optimistic rock song full of self-ridicule made me turn around at the first time.
However, this song in the rematch is full of too many gloomy emotions, and I think you are also aware of the current discussion and controversy about your band on the Internet, and coming up with such a work at such a time makes me have to doubt your motives. ”
Yizheng criticized the performance of the wanton band, looking at the complicated expressions on the faces of the audience, although Han Chen's face did not change, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
In fact, no matter what song the band sings today, he will make targeted criticism, which is also a routine designed for him by Li Wanxiang.
"Thank you, thank you to the three tutors for the wonderful comments. ”
After listening to Han Chen's evaluation, which was completely different from that of other mentors, the host glanced at the tightly frowning brows of the on-site director, and hurriedly walked down the process:
"Next, I would like to ask the three mentors to give you the promotion object of your choice!"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Three voices rang out almost at the same time.
Seeing that all three lights chose the wanton band, the host was stunned, and after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask:
"Mentor Han Chen, you see that you finally gave the qualification for the promotion to the band, I'm curious why you did this?"
Hearing this, an indescribable smile appeared on Han Chen's face.
"What I criticize is their attitude towards singing, and I question their motivation for creation, but giving them the promotion is out of respect for musicality, because this song is far stronger than Miss Meow's "Ten Orange Cats and Nine Fat" from the perspective of arrangement and creation, here, I also hope that the audience will vote more from the perspective of musicality, thank you!"
Perfect!
This is Lin Xiangxiang's evaluation of Han Chen's 'performance' in the console.
She had suspected that Han Chen's various behaviors were arranged behind the scenes by her boss Li Wanxiang, and now she could almost confirm this inference.
First, the apology is used to highlight the self-criticism of the rock musician, then the song is criticized for showing rebellious and unusual emotions, and finally the insistence on truth and facts is highlighted through choice.
From beginning to end, without any impact on the script's process, the image of a rock veteran jumped into the show.
This routine, if it weren't for a deep enough understanding of Han Chen, Lin Xiangxiang felt that he would be completely deceived.
"Next, I would like to ask the 500 audience members to judge and give your decision!
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience at the scene pressed the selection button in front of them for the first time.
Identification is blue, negation is red.
In about three minutes or so, the voting results came out.
"Voting is over, please reveal the final results of the data group!"
The voice fell, and an astonishing number was given on the big screen at the scene, with a red-blue ratio of 500 to 0!
"Five hundred votes in favor!"
"Congratulations to the band for making it to the next round!"
"At the same time, I would like to thank Miss Meow for her performance tonight, although the result is a bit regrettable, but I believe that such a wonderful process is also worth remembering!"
"Below, Miss Meow's unveiling moment is about to come!"
After some congratulations and words, in the applause of the audience, Miss Meow took off her mask.
In perfect harmony with the image shown by the voice, this is a petite and cute girl, perhaps because of the first time she faced the audience with her real face, the girl's cheeks were flushed, and it was obvious that she was a little nervous.
After interacting with the girls for a while, the host sent Miss Meow off the stage, and then let the band come to the center, and asked with a smile:
"Congratulations on advancing to the next round of the competition, three lights are promoted, five hundred votes agree, do you have anything to say about such a result now?"
Taking the microphone from the host's hand, Shen Yiran cleared his throat, glanced at the other members of the band, and saw that the three of them nodded at him, and no longer hesitated, and said directly:
"First of all, I want to say that there is a consensus among all of us in the band, which is that rock, actually, is just a form of music!"
