Chapter 24: Fierce rap battle
Jiang Liuxing bowed and walked off the stage.
This is the end of the first fight and singing the lyrics.
Lee Woo-chang discussed with Yang Hyun-seok for a while, then walked onto the stage and began to announce the results of his referee.
Li Yuchang took the microphone, looked at the audience, and briefly commented in a sincere tone.
"Ha Ji-hoon sang "I-Believe", he has his own feelings.
"Min Kyung-hoon's "Thorn", as always, shows his magnetic and penetrating voice, worthy of being the lead singer of the BUZZ band, but without the BUZZ band accompanying the scene, Min Kyung-hoon's singing this time is slightly insufficient."
Kwon Zhilong used his unique style, including pronunciation, to give a new definition to the song "Even If There Are Only Memories", injecting fresh blood, and giving this song a new era of K-pop feeling. This is a very important pioneering spirit, which is needed in music, and only such musicians can keep up with the pace of the times. ”
"Jiang Liuxing's singing, I don't think I need to comment more, from everyone's reaction just now, it can be seen that his performance makes you feel amazing and shocked, emotional, powerful, explosive, high-pitched, falsetto, magnetic...... He used these musical elements to not only prove to us his good singing skills, but also proved his talent in controlling music. ”
Li Yuchang deliberately glanced at Jiang Liuxing sitting in the audience at this time: "But I want to remind him of one thing, that is, I hope he can continue to practice his singing skills, because he still has a lot of room for improvement in this regard, I hope that in a few years, when he sings a song like "Millennium Love" again, he will be able to reduce his skills, and in a relaxed and natural way, he will be able to give people amazing and shocked." ”
Jiang Liuxing under the stage, while smiling shyly, nodded at the same time, he recognized Li Yuchang's statement, yes, although he sang "Millennium Love" just now to achieve the effect he wanted, but he himself knew that when he sang this song just now, because his singing skills were still limited, he needed to use a lot of skills to embellish, so he didn't sing very easily and naturally.
The evaluation is very simple, but it is not difficult to see that Li Yuchang's words are very exquisite, the evaluation of Ha Zhixun is the most polite but also the most omitted, and the evaluation of Min Jingxun is also more polite but still points out a little shortcoming, all praise for Quan Zhilong, considering the presence of Yang Hyun-suk, there is praise and teaching for Jiang Liuxing. This once again proves that Li Yuchang is indeed very good at being a man.
Li Yuchang looked at the audience again, raised his voice and said: "Now I announce the result of my referee, the fight just now sang the lyrics, I think, the first place is Jiang Liuxing, and the second place is Quan Zhilong!." ”
Li Yuchang was also a little particular about this referee result, only announcing the first and second places, and not letting the third and fourth places be too ugly.
In fact, who the third and fourth places are, most of us know in our hearts.
After the results were announced, many people in the audience couldn't help but applaud and expressed their satisfaction with the results.
Li Yuchang asked the 100 students who had the right to referee in front of him: "Okay, now give you 10 seconds, if you think my referee is reasonable, you will raise your hand to agree, if you think my referee is not good, you will not raise your hand, if more than sixty percent of people do not raise their hands, my referee will not count, based on what you say, but you must be fair." ”
When the words fell, Li Yuchang silently counted in his heart while waiting.
1,2,3…… 10。
After 10 seconds, nearly 80 of the 100 students in front of them raised their hands.
Li Yuchang smiled and said: "It seems that my referee result this time is still convincing, the first fight and singing lyrics, the first place is Jiang Meteor, Jiang Meteor and Quan Zhilong's team wins, let's start the second competition, fight rap!" ”
The audience burst into applause, undoubtedly in anticipation.
Lee Woo-chang and Yang Hyun-seok are actually looking forward to this, they know that this rap fight may be the most fierce competition, Ha Ji-hoon is a Hip-Hop genius, San-E is a Hip-Hop rap master from the United States, Kwon Zhi-ryong needless to say, his music is mainly Hip-Hop, and Jiang Meteor, although Yang Hyun-seok is not clear, Lee Woo-chang knows how good he is in this area!
Hip-hop is a culture that originated from the streets, and it also refers to rap (rap) in general, but it is not only rap.
The four elements of hip-hop include rap (which evolved from m-cing, which refers to rhythmic, rhyming speech), hip-hop, dj-ing (playing with records and turntables), and graffiti art. Hip-Hop can be described as an avant-garde attitude towards life culture, and rap is just one of the elements of Hip-Hop.
Some argue that there can be a fifth element in Hip-Hop, and that is beatbox or street basketball.
At this moment, Min Jingxun, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, suddenly stood up, with an apologetic face, and said to Li Yuchang in a frank tone: "Professor Li, I have decided to withdraw from the competition, and I will not participate in the next few competitions." ”
It's really a kind of honesty.
Min Kyung-hoon is best at lyrical songs, rap, dance, and drums, and he also knows a little, after all, he plays a rock band, but he is not strong, not good at it.
In the fighting lyric song, Min Jingxun lost, to be exact, it was the third place, he didn't feel unconvinced, but this result made him very disappointed, and he felt that he even lost the lyrical song, and there was no need to participate in the others, and he also lost if he participated. After all, Min Kyung-hoon is a star who debuted a long time ago, and he has some idol baggage, in his opinion, it is better to retire at this time than to keep losing.
After watching Jiang Liuxing and Quan Zhilong's singing just now, Min Jingxun was very emotional, and sighed that there are talented people in the country, not to mention that in the Korean entertainment industry where the competition is too cruel and the elimination rate is too fast, he is no longer what he used to be, and the new Jiang Liuxing and Quan Zhilong are really excellent geniuses.
Li Yuchang paused, then understood Min Jingxun's mood, and he could understand, and said with a smile: "Since Min Jingxun has decided so, I can't go against it, in fact, I think he has proved his value in the Korean music scene with his strength, and today he is willing to participate in the competition, mainly to support the juniors and juniors, as for winning or losing the game, I believe he will not care." ”
Min Jingxun nodded with a guilty face, and was very grateful to Li Yuchang for giving him such a good step to go down.
Some fourth-year students of the postmodern music department at the scene, as well as some fans of Min Kyung-hoon, regretted this, but still supported Min Kyung-hoon's decision.
When Min Kyung-hoon sat down again, he said "sorry" to Ha Ji-hoon and San-E, after all, the two were his teammates, which was a kind of politeness, but Ha Ji-hoon and San-E just nodded casually, looking unconcerned, and they were even more disdainful of Min Kyung-hoon in their hearts.
After Min Kyung-hoon sat down, he became a spectator and watched, he didn't leave immediately, but continued to watch the scene, which can be regarded as showing a kind of demeanor, and he lost sincerely if he lost.
This kind of character made Yang Hyun Suk appreciate it, and he deliberately reached over and patted Min Kyung-hoon on the shoulder.
……
The second fight rap officially began.
Kang Meteor Sung, Kwon Ji Ryong, Ha Ji Hoon, and San-E make rock-paper-scissors to decide the order of appearance.
As a result, Ha Ji-hoon was the first, San-E was the second, Kang Meteor was the third, and Kwon Ji-ryong was the fourth.
Although Ha Ji-hoon felt unlucky in his heart and was the first to play, he didn't feel at ease, he believed in his rap strength, and felt that he would probably be able to win the first place this time, even if it wasn't him, it would be his teammate San-E.
Ha Ji-hoon stood on the stage, didn't rap immediately, and beckoned to San-E first: "San-E, you come up." ”
San-E smiled knowingly, knowing that Ha Ji-hoon asked him to help Beatbox, and rap is often more exciting with Beatbox.
Beatbox, originated in the United States, is a new Hip-Hop element that appeared in the 1980s, which can be colloquially understood as rhythm ventriloquism, but cannot be called ventriloquism.
Beatbox is mainly involved in mimicking drums, rhythms, and music with the sounds of the lips, teeth, tongue, mouth, and throat, and it includes: singing, using vocal cords to imitate DJing, imitating trumpets, strings, or some other instrument.
In Chinese-speaking areas, Beatbox is usually referred to as B-Box, which is not standardized, and the correct name should be Beatbox.
As soon as San-E took the stage, he immediately stood up to the microphone Beatbox.
As soon as San-E's Beatbox came out, some students in the audience became excited, because they did a good job, and Lee Woo-chang and Yang Hyun-seok also judged that this San-E was indeed a Hip-Hop master, worthy of being from the United States.
With San-E's Beatbox, Ha Ji-hoon raps.
"E,P,I,K,Fly, I'm so tired, I'm so tired, today's cruel world also despises you, I'm also depressed in front of the mirror, and I'm drinking alone, Dot't-know-where-to-go, just one mistake and lose a qiē, Oh-no, clench your hands and spread your wings when you bow your head, You-can-fly......"
She sang the song "Fly" by the popular Korean hip-hop group Epik-High, which was an important song from Epik-High's album "Swan-songs" released in 2005.
Ha Ji-hoon raps this song, not only because the rap of the song is good, but also because YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun-seok is sitting in the scene, and he wants to attract special attention from Yang Hyun-suk, an artist owned by YG Entertainment.
"Fly" is a rap song intertwined with Korean and English, but there is some lyricism in the chorus, Epik-High deliberately found a female singer to sing together, and Ha Ji-hoon's singing cleverly adapted these lyrical chorus parts into a very rhythmic rap, I have to say, he is indeed a Hip-Hop genius.
Ha Ji-hoon's performance in this scene was much better than when he sang the lyric song in the first scene, and San-E's Beatbox also graced his performance.
After singing the song, there was a lot of applause at the scene.
Ha Ji-hoon excitedly slapped his hands with San-E, and deliberately glanced at Yang Hyun-seok in the audience, and felt very proud when he saw that Yang Hyun-seok was also applauding applaudively.
Neither Ha Ji-hoon nor San-E stepped down because it was San-E's turn immediately afterward.
Ha Ji-hoon also wants to help San-E, but instead of using a beatbox, he turns around and walks to the drum kit placed on the stage, sits down, and prepares to use the drum kit to accompany San-E.
Many viewers in the audience are looking forward to it even more.
Quan Zhilong was a little nervous.
After Jiang Liuxing found out, he shook Quan Zhilong's hand, gave him an encouraging look, and then looked at San-E and Ha Zhixun on the stage with playful eyes, and muttered in his heart: "It seems that this is really a fierce rap battle!" ”
