197. Heroes use their flesh to carve out of thorns, so I don't do such stupid things
Maizi led her band across the lawn next to the studio.
She turned her head to look at the large billboard that was still in the middle of the outdoor stage.
There are eight names on the sign, each with two bands' logos affixed to it.
This is a remnant of the outdoor part of the second scene recorded a few days ago.
The rules of the 1v1 adaptation match are not complicated.
After the first phase of the 31-in-16 promotion competition, the 16 bands that entered the second round faced off in pairs, the two sides chose each other, and after the mutual selection was completed, the order was determined by drawing lots, and one of the eight singers selected by the program group was selected to adapt. Grabbing
In the inter-band selection stage, Maizi chose the tongue sword that no one wanted to touch.
She feels that she is the strongest, so she has to charge the stronger.
And when Ma Yi chose a singer, he chose Meng Shi.
It's respect.
Because he knew that if it weren't for Meng Shi, these bands would be participating in a farce called Huashi Company.
Ma Yi didn't know much about Meng Shi, but this did not prevent him from showing his respect for him in this link, in the way of grabbing Meng Shi.
Like Ma, there are two other veteran bands.
Although Meng Shi is not well-known among the mainstream public, he still has some prestige in a full-time band that can support himself from rock and roll.
In this context, Lao Qin first insisted on putting Meng Shi, who was not famous outside the circle, together with seven other powerful singers, and put them on the stage for 16 bands to choose from, and then tried his best to promote Meng Shi and Lao Wu to cooperate again.
This move can be said to be very old and spicy.
Imagine that the first episode of the show is over and some previews of the second episode of the adaptation are played.
When these bands talked about Meng in the show, and their words revealed their respect from time to time, the audience behind the screen looked confused, who is Meng Shi?
Who is Meng Shi? This is a topic that can cause a lot of discussion, and it is also a beginning, and Lao Qin can do a lot of things with it.
Maizi didn't know that behind Meng Shi's name appearing here, there were several layers of games between Lao Qin and Jia Shudao.
She has her own thoughts on the show.
Street Lamp ranked eighth in the first episode of the show and was successfully promoted, although Maizi felt quite satisfied, but he felt that the number of votes in his heart might not be real.
It's not a question of ranking, it's a question of who determines the ranking.
Maizi is a conspiracy theorist at heart, and her mind is full of suspicion and anger about the world.
In her opinion, the recording scene is like a small society, full of rules.
The voting rules are simple.
Voters are called music fans.
The fans are divided into three parts.
100 "popular music fans" like Zhang Linjun and Jiang You who signed up online and were selected by the program team to come to the scene with uneven quality.
Mass music fans can vote 1 per person.
This title shows that this part of the population does not need to really understand the principle of how music works.
Maizi doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.
Music, just follow your own feelings, this is the natural aesthetic - the public aesthetic.
Although the public aesthetic will be paralyzed by some industrially produced melodies, after a long time, the aesthetic instinct will become bored with this melody, but this instinctive boredom will soon be replaced by a new melody that changes the soup without changing the medicine, and the cycle continues.
The masses are too easily deceived.
They only need to rely on their own likes and dislikes to make choices, and they seem to have the right to decide, but in fact, all they really have is a sense of participation.
Fortunately, this sense of participation, which is not even beautifully packaged, is enough to satisfy them.
So, the mass music fans are at the bottom.
On top of the mass music fans are 20 "professional music fans" composed of livehouse managers, music critics, and media.
This part, 5 votes per person.
This is the middle layer and can be swayed by various factors.
Then there are the five "super fans", each with a choice of 1 to 10 votes.
The three resident among the five people, the three producers from Qingxue Media, Huashi Entertainment, and i Strange Video, this is the decision-making level.
That's class. Maizi thought. Jia Shudao, Huashi Entertainment, who signed Street Light and several other bands and sent them to participate, is not a friend of rock music, but a capitalist.
Gao Ben followed Maizi's gaze, looked at the stage, looked at the sign of the street lamp under Tongue Sword and Meng Shi, and said, "He wants us to die." ”
Maizi didn't speak, still staring at Meng Shi's name.
She thought that Meng Shi was a friend.
Right?
Should be.
Drummer Niu Qi rubbed his face fiercely, "There are still three hours before it officially starts, now what kind of arrangement is not good, there are too many elements, let's re-elect, Nima is not sending us away obviously!" ”
Yuan Fei, who is the youngest, married, and has a wife who is quite rich, loves him, supports him to play music, and can be called a winner in life, reached out and patted them on the back and said, "What's the use of you talking to Maizi now?" We are all victims. is so dissatisfied, why didn't you just talk to Meng Shi head-on. "Hip
The two were dumb.
Face to face with Meng Shi?
Spending three hours to rearrange a song doesn't necessarily have to be really "dead", because this is 16 into 12, even if it loses in the direct confrontation with the tongue sword, it is only to be determined, as long as it does not fall to the bottom four, it will not be eliminated.
But he was destined to be beaten by Jiao Cong's neuropathy first, and then sent away directly by Meng Shi with a brawl as a reason......
Gao Ben has been crawling all these years, always being angry on the surface, and he is no longer stunned in his heart, he knows very well what things need to be endured.
In order to stay, he endured the violence of Jiao Cong, Meng Shi's ignorance, the contempt of other veteran bands, and the ridicule of Yuan Fei in the same band, which was not within the scope of his endurance.
Gao Ben stared at Yuan Fei and said, "It seems that you don't care about the opportunity we finally get, too, after all, there is soft rice to eat." ”
Yuan Fei said disdainfully, "The opportunity we get? Who gets the opportunity and doesn't have points in their hearts? ”
At the beginning, Maizi and Ma Yi asked Lao Qin Qingxue Media if they wanted to sign someone, and Lao Qin, who had just talked to Meng Shi, euphemistically said that he did not have this idea for the time being.
Ma Yi left in disappointment, and Maizi threw himself directly into Hua Shi, who began to sign a large number of bands, there was no way, the band needed money. Grabbing
Jia Shudao's initial advice to Maizi was that you have a lot of potential, and if you give up your current musicians and have the company redo the packaging plan, this potential will reach its limit.
The bottom line of the wheat is that other treatments can be discussed, but must be the whole band together.
Eventually, Jia Shudao lowered her resource rating and agreed that she would bring her own musicians.
Several people know this in their hearts, and now Gao Ben has a chance for us, which makes Yuan Fei feel ridiculous.
Maizi is not a good person who is good at mediating conflicts between band members, on the contrary, she believes that this conflict is conducive to creation to a certain extent.
She didn't look at Gao Ben and Yuan Fei who were rattling, she took her eyes away from Meng Shi's name, raised her head and squinted at the sun that had begun to set westward, and said, "There are still three hours, if you feel that you have enough time, then we will spend an hour cursing Meng Shi, and another hour cursing each other." ”
Several people stopped talking.
————
Meng Shi kicked Jiao Cong back to Lao Wu's side, asked them to communicate with Zhang Renpei about the real performance repertoire that had already been decided, and then walked out with Chu Le.
glanced at Qin Qian, who followed like a little tail, and didn't pick her up.
Zhang Linjun and Jiang You followed them out of the studio, Zhang Linjun held up the camera and said, "This ......"
Meng Shi said, "You can send it when you go back, and when the first episode is finished, you can put it on again." ”
Zhang Lin said sneeringly, "Send my number? ”
Meng Shi smiled, "This is your daily shooting, who do you don't post?" "Ding Ding Ding M
Zhang Linjun thought about it, it seemed to be the case.
It was he who went to the cheap noodle restaurant to visit the store, and photographed Meng Shi, Lao Cui, and Lao Wu drinking and singing, but in the end he felt that the weight of the video was too heavy, and he was not qualified to release it, so he put it in the USB flash drive and gave it to Meng Shi.
It was Jiang You who told him to sneak to the studio, and Meng Shi asked him to help shoot it.
It is true that they can be regarded as their own vlogs, but these two videos are in the upcoming launch, and with the normal publicity of the show, they can be directly on the Vbo hot search.
Zhang Linjun swallowed his saliva, and after confirming with Meng Shi again, he felt that he was about to take off.
Meng Shi took out his mobile phone and added a V message to Zhang Linjun, and after glancing at Jiang You, who was in a little wrong state, said, "You guys go to the audience area to gather first, I still have something to do with Brother Chu." ”
Qin Qian used the backstage pass given by Zhang Renpei to ask about the rest room of the street lamp, and led Meng Shi and Chu Le to that side.
Passing by the outdoor stage, Chu Le couldn't help but ask, "What do you think about that girl like this?" ”
Chu Le didn't understand Meng Shi very well that he vetoed Maizi's arrangement, and now he has to help her arrange it.
He even had some doubts about whether Meng Shi really had that kind of thoughts about wheat.
Qin Qian secretly slowed down and pricked up his ears to listen to Meng Shi's answer.
Meng Shi had nothing to hide, and said directly, "I want her to become an 'industry hero'." ”
Chu Le repeated, "Industry hero? ”
Meng Shi said, "Do you watch the NBA? ”
Chu Le said, "Don't look at it." ”
Meng Shi said, "I've always heard of it. ”
Chu Le nodded.
Meng Shi stopped at the advertising board with his name written on it, and continued walking, saying, "Rock music doesn't need a savior, but there can be a hero, the NBA's development in China, Jordan is important, Kobe Bryant is important, Iverson is important, and the most important thing is Yao Ming, Yao Ming is the industry hero of the NBA's development in China, and I hope Maizi can become an industry hero of rock and roll." ”
Chu Le was silent.
Meng Shi said, "Now that the cultural market is booming, entertainment products are abundant, pop culture, and online platforms are encouraging people to be numb, giggle, imitate, and follow the trend, and the mainstream media is advocating harmony, warmth, and positive energy." The character of rock 'n' roll is both serious and entertaining, and the situation is too awkward to be trimmed at both ends in this era. ”
Chu Le said, "You mean that we should compromise with the public aesthetic. ”
Meng Shi shook his head, "When the rise of subculture reaches the level of opposition to the mainstream culture, the co-optation of the subculture by the mainstream culture begins, and the co-optation will bring sacrifices, but at the same time, those marginalized products will be discovered and bloom with new brilliance."
After all, variety shows are just a catalyst for inclusion.
Punk, metal, earth shake, etc., what is needed is the scene, not the screen.
If Maizi grows up, let young people go to livehouses, go to music festivals, and listen to concerts, it will become the same leisure option as watching movies, even if it is just reaching out to the screen and jumping up.
When that day comes, will we compromise with the masses, or will the masses fall for us?
Rock 'n' roll is natural, free, and confident.
If rock music always imprisons itself in a way that evokes the yearning for freedom in others, then it is still dead. ”
Meng Shi's tone was like casually saying something about the parents, and he asked what to eat later.
Qin Qian's eyes turned in circles when she listened, she didn't understand the meaning of Meng Shi's words, so she could only remember as much as she wanted, and then tell Lao Qin.
She knew that Meng Shi could say this in front of herself, so she didn't mind relaying these words to others.
Chu Le exhaled a long breath and said, "Why do you want Maizi to become that 'hero'?" She signed Huashi. ”
Meng Shi changed the old monk Xingsheng's sentence "Zen is divided into north and south, and Buddha is not divided into north and south", saying, "The band has a company, but rock and roll does not." ”
Chu Le said, "Then why can't this hero be you." ”
Meng Shi touched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Heroes want to use their bodies to carve out the way among thorns, so I won't do such stupid things." ”
Chu Le shook his head helplessly and said, "Send wheat on the road." ”
Meng Shi took out the singing machine from his pocket.
With the dialect of Liangzai Ah Gong, "Qi-", the suona blew all the way to the rest room of the wheat.
