Chapter 144: The Most Correct Choice

Although Xianjian Er has already started the project, Xu Ji has no intention of withdrawing from the recording of "I Am a Songwriter".

After all, this time is not filming a tribute drama, so I am not so rushed in time, so I can still find time.

The recording scene of "I Am a Songwriter".

When Xu Ji came, the other three songwriters had already arrived.

After a simple greeting to the three of them, Xu Ji sat down in his place.

Zongge and Bian Ruxuan both responded to Xu Ji with a smile.

Only Feng Huan's face was not very good-looking, so he simply nodded.

He was already a little unhappy with Xu Qi.

As a result, the other party in front of him successfully won the first place in the two phases.

This made him feel ashamed and a little difficult to accept.

The most important thing is because of Feng Zhenghao in the last issue, so that his votes set a record for the lowest number of votes in this show.

You must know that Jiang Yuke in the first issue has more than 80 votes.

If nothing else, this record is not expected to be broken.

It's a bad feeling to be dragged down by your pig teammates!

Jiang Yu has decided at this time that in the selection of singers in this issue, he must choose the strong ones.

As for the appearance or something, I'll think about it later.

After the recording of the last episode of the show, Feng Huan had already asked Phoenix Entertainment and Feng Zhenghao to directly terminate the contract.

He didn't want to keep the other party in Phoenix Entertainment, and appeared in front of him from time to time, reminding him of the experience of the previous issue.

Feng Zhenghao signed a contract with Phoenix Entertainment, and he didn't even go to the company, and then he received the news of termination.

Of course, I must know that I am not qualified to cry out for injustice.

His performance in the last issue, any other songwriter is expected to do the same.

......

After Xu Ji arrived, it didn't take long for Mo Jianwen to come in time.

Then he said, "I'm sorry teachers, I'm a little late. ”

"There was a little accident."

"Of the seven groups of singers we had tentatively set before, one group withdrew."

"But it won't affect our next recording."

"So we're going to have another set of substitute singers fill in."

"But it will take a little time, so I'll tell you about our rules for this issue."

......

"Brother Ze, as for it?"

"We weren't allowed to pass the audition before, but now we are suddenly asked to participate in the recording."

Xu Zhize, who was driving, heard this, and said:

"It's a rare opportunity."

"We can't miss it."

Among the four people in the car, another person sitting in the back seat also spoke:

"Isn't it just a show, it's not like we can't live if we don't go."

"We didn't sign a company before, don't we just want to be free?"

Xu Zhize heard the complaints of several people, and his face was a little unsightly.

"What do you mean you can't live anymore? Is that all you are pursuing? ”

"It's true that we can make money by performing now, but you don't know what the popularity of our new songs has become?"

"If it continues like this, it will be a question of whether or not I can receive performances in the future."

"Xiaojie is also about to get married, where doesn't it cost money?"

"Needless to say, listen to me, wait until you go on stage, give me the best state!"

......

"Band?"

Hearing Mo Jianwen's words, several people present were a little surprised.

Xu Ji had guessed some before, but he didn't expect that this time the program team really invited seven bands.

Feng Huan was in a good mood when he heard that the contestants in this issue turned out to be bands.

After all, when he was young, Feng Huan started the road of music by forming a band with others.

Although he eventually became a songwriter, not a singer.

But in terms of pop rock, he also has a lot of high-quality works.

It's a bump into his area of expertise.

In the last issue of the ballad, Feng Huan felt that he was restricted everywhere, and he did not play his highest level at all.

I've got the champion of this issue!

Feng Huan thought secretly in his heart.

Thinking of this, he secretly looked at the other three songwriters.

Sure enough, the faces of Zongge and Bian Ruxuan were not very good-looking at this time.

Compared with the previous ballads, the rock in this issue is not only not their field of expertise, but also more difficult.

Especially Bian Ruxuan, the folk songs in the first issue and the rock in this issue belong to the genre that she has only tried to create before.

Although there have been some works, the quality is not high.

It's equivalent to not hitting what I'm good at for two consecutive issues.

And Feng Huan finally looked at Xu Ji.

found that the other party was still as calm as in the previous issue, and I couldn't see any panic at all.

If it was before, Feng Huan would definitely feel that the other party was pretending to be calm.

But after the song "Ideal" in the last issue, Feng Huan also had to face up to Xu Ji.

Could it be that this time the rock 'n' roll, Xu Ji can also write?

......

At this time, Mo Jianwen also continued to talk about the rule changes in this issue.

"In the second issue, we decided the order in which the songwriters chose the singers based on the number of votes in the first issue."

"It's the same in this issue, but the only difference is that this time the songwriter chooses the band, and they have the right to refuse."

"In other words, the seven bands this time will not be forced to join the team after the songwriters are selected."

......

Hearing Mo Jianwen's words, Xu Ji's four groups of songwriters did not have much emotional fluctuations.

Although it was able to refuse, it actually did not have a great impact on the four groups.

At most, it's just a different band.

Mo Jianwen explained in detail what he just said at the beginning.

"After the rejection of the band chosen by the songwriter, it will go to pending."

"The songwriters in the back can still continue to choose."

"After the first round of selection, the rejected songwriters were able to move on to the second round of selection."

"Until we finally reach a partnership."

......

After introducing the rules, Mo Jianwen began to announce the final voting results of the previous term.

"Teacher Xu Ji's group, singer Kong Cheng received 95 votes in the media review, plus an additional 30 votes for the first place in audience support, a total of 125 votes, ranking first."

"Zongge, Yan Fen's teacher group, and singer Hao Ke received 91 votes in the media review, plus an additional 20 votes in the second place in the audience's support rate, a total of 101 votes, ranking second."

"Teacher Bian Ruxuan's group, singer Du Comber received 87 votes in the media review, plus an additional 10 votes in the third place in the audience's support rate, a total of 97 votes, ranking third."

"Xu Huan, Fan Nina teacher group, singer Feng Zhenghao media review received 75 votes, no additional votes, a total of 75 votes, ranking fourth."

"In this issue, the selection of singers is still given priority by the Xu Ji teacher group."

Hearing the voting results, Feng Huan felt that he was suddenly attacked by the memories of the dead in the previous issue.

Originally, because I heard the theme of this issue, my face was a little happy, and my face slowly darkened.

At this time, a staff member ran to Mo Jianwen's side and whispered a few words.

After he nodded, he then said to Xu Ji and the others:

"We just got the news that our last band has arrived."

"Please prepare for it, and we'll start the stage recording of the seven bands later."

......

"The Darkgrid Band is here too?"

Seeing the first group of bands performing on the stage, Bian Ruxuan said with some surprise.

Xu Ji had also heard of this band.

As an indie band, the other party's popularity is still very high.

The band's last album sold more than 200,000 copies last year.

Such sales may be much less than some first-tier or even second-tier singers.

But know that this band is an independent band that has not signed to an agency.

There was no marketing and exposure at all in the early stage, and the sales of more than 200,000 were completely accumulated by the word-of-mouth of the album.

At this time, the four groups of songwriters all knew that the dark grid band was likely to be the existence of everyone's competition in this issue.

The singers in this issue are obviously basically different from the last issue.

In addition to the dark grid, the other bands that sang on stage were also well-known indie bands.

"Mo Jianwen's means are okay!"

Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh at this time.

These bands are obviously qualified enough to sign with some small agencies.

Like the dark grid, it is even possible to enter the Big Three.

Apparently not that they don't want to, but that they don't want to.

After Bian Ruxuan's performance in the fourth group of lower performances, she finally couldn't help but ask Mo Jianwen who was standing on the edge of the stage:

"Director Mo, are you sure that after we have selected these bands, they will be willing to sign with us?"

This question must be asked in advance, after all, if the other party temporarily regrets it after cooperation, it will make people feel uncomfortable.

Many of these rock players don't like to be tied down, and if they don't make it clear about signing a contract when the time comes, it's a troublesome thing.

Of course, it's not that a few well-known bands are so attractive.

For a few songwriters, these bands have not yet reached the point where a few people have to sign contracts in all aspects.

I just said that I didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because the signing of the contract was not clearly discussed.

Mo Jianwen nodded and said:

"All the teachers can rest assured, they have all negotiated, and if they succeed in cooperating in the end, then they are naturally willing to sign the contract."

The reason why Mo Jianwen has increased the choice that singers can refuse songwriters in this issue is precisely because some bands are clearly aimed at a certain songwriter.

I just want to work with a certain songwriter.

He just came up with such a solution.

"Next up is the fifth group, the Screaming Band!"

......

"It's our turn!"

"Cheer up!"

Hearing the voice of the host on the stage, Xu Zhize spoke.

There are a total of four members in the Scream Band, although except for the captain Xu Zhize, the other three are a little reluctant to participate in this show.

But for the matter of singing on stage, no matter what kind of stage it is, several people will still take it seriously.

Among the bands that came this time, the Scream Band can be said to be the least famous.

In fact, Xu Zhize is not very sure that there will be no songwriters to choose them.

......

After all seven bands have performed, the next step is for the songwriters to choose the bands to work with.

In fact, Xu Ji basically doesn't have to guess, among these seven groups of bands, the most popular is the dark grid band.

While all the bands sang original songs, it was clear that the quality of the songs in this group was higher.

And several songwriters, including Xu Ji, have also listened to some songs of the dark grid band to a greater or lesser extent.

The styles he is good at are quite diverse, and he is undoubtedly the best choice for the seven bands to work with.

Of course, in fact, the level of several bands is not much different.

Xu Ji can choose any one, it's just that he can choose more songs in the dark grid.

But even with some other bands, he still has no shortage of suitable songs.

However, since he is the first choice, he naturally considers the dark grid band first.

"Mr. Xu Ji, as the first in the last issue, you can give priority to choosing your own band."

- "The Dark Grid Band"

Hearing the host Guan Zimo's words, Xu Ji opened his mouth to reply.

"Dark Grid Band, are you willing to cooperate with Teacher Xu Ji?"

Guan Zimo turned to look at the band standing in the middle on the stage.

But what was surprising was that Wen Yang, the captain of the dark grid band, picked up the microphone and bowed to Xu Ji and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Ji." ”

They came specifically for Feng Huan this time.

The other party has been writing a lot of rock-style songs before, and many high-quality songs are well-known in the industry.

As for Xu Ji, he has never written a rock 'n' roll style song at all.

Moreover, Wen Yang made his own judgment from some of Xu Ji's previous works, and the other party may not be able to write at all.

As the lead singer of the band, he also writes songs himself, so he naturally knows how different there are between different types of songs.

Hearing that Xu Ji was rejected, Feng Huan's eyebrows furrowed, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

This time it's not like the last issue, the songwriter may be rejected.

Although he was the last to pick the band's songwriter, with those boutique pop-rock style songs he had written before, he would certainly not be turned down.

"The dark grid band refused to cooperate, and the cooperative band of Mr. Xu Ji's group was temporarily vacant, and then Mr. Bian Ruxuan made the choice."

.......

Bian Ruxuan was not as iron-headed as Xu Ji, and it was obvious that the dark grid band was coming for Feng Huan, so she simply chose another band, and finally successfully determined the choice of cooperation in her group.

The same is true of the third-born Zongge, who did not choose the Dark Grid band.

When he arrived at Feng Huan's place, he said with a smile on his face: "Dark Grid Band." ”

Sure enough, it was correct as I guessed before, and in the end, the dark grid band did not refuse.

Darkgrid became the cooperative band of Feng Huan's group.

The first round of selection ended, and only Xu Ji was rejected.

He can still choose between the remaining four bands.

Xu Zhize watched Xu Ji's gaze sweep over them and did not stay long, in fact, he was a little lost in his heart.

Although I have done my best to perform, there are still no songwriters?

But at this moment, I suddenly heard Xu Ji's voice: "Screaming band." ”

After Xu Zhize heard Xu Ji say the name of his band, he was immediately ecstatic.

Although he originally thought that the best choice among the four songwriters was Feng Huan's.

But in the end, I was able to be successfully selected and stay in the show, but I was also satisfied.

......

The recording of the third phase of the selection session has ended.

But at this time, the atmosphere of the screaming band that was finally chosen by Xu Ji was not very good.

Lead singer Xu Zhize was in a good mood because he was selected, but the other three did not have a smile on their faces.

"Brother Ze, are you so happy?"

"Although Xu Ji is really powerful, I also like many of the songs he writes."

"But he hadn't written a rock song before."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be really embarrassing to be the first to the bottom directly after the performance."

Xu Zhize replied: "What you said is too exaggerated, right?" ”

"The first of the two issues of this section is Xu Ji."

"Also, when you meet someone, remember not to say that!"

- "Yes, we are not stupid, and we will not say it in front of people. ”

Although he said so, in fact, Xu Zhize didn't know the bottom of his heart.

It is unknown what kind of quality song Xu Ji will be able to write to them.

I just wish it could be a little bit higher than the ones they've created before the Scream band.

Of course, if they can't even compare to the songs they wrote, that's not bad.

At least the popularity of the program "I Am a Songwriter" is so high, and it is also a good thing to be on the show to give the band a little more exposure.

......

The reason Xu Ji chose the Scream Band is not because of how good the band is.

On the contrary, the performance of the Scream Band just now is actually relatively poor among several bands.

But they have one thing in common with Darkgrid.

That is, Xu Ji will perceive that the other party will be able to control more styles.

The words of the dark grid are related to the fact that their previous masterpieces themselves are changeable in style.

As for the screams, it is purely from the original song they sang, and the songs they wrote have obviously not yet formed their own style.

Such a band may not be very memorable to others.

But for Xu Ji, it is the best, because the plasticity is very high.

In fact, many of these independent bands are of similar level, and the only thing that can open up the gap may be their songs of different levels.

And this is not a big problem for Xu Ji.

Anyway, one song is not suitable, so change a few more songs, there is always a suitable one.

......

The four members of the Screaming Band naturally followed Xu Ji back to Rongcheng.

It's just that he can't accompany them to practice the whole time, at most he just finds some time to come out.

Now that Xianjian Er has just established the project, it is impossible for Xu Ji to spend all his thoughts on the show "I Am a Songwriter".

stayed in Rongcheng for two days, but after Xu Ji only arranged for them to stay, there was no follow-up.

The four members of the Screaming Band were no surprise.

Most of the time, Xu Ji didn't have the right song to give them.

Even if you take some of the songs you created before, it will take time.

Of course, until now, even the lead singer Xu Zhize doesn't have much hope.

Xu Ji probably hasn't written a rock song before.

That's understandable.

Even if it is pop rock, if Xu Ji is written and revised, it is estimated that the quality of the final song will not be too high.

But what a few people think is different.

Xu Ji actually wrote the song a long time ago.

It's just that he is auditioning for some actors selected by Ponel these days, and he forgot about it.

In the end, several important roles were determined.

Some of the remaining characters, Xu Ji was specially vacant.

I plan to find those official actors who have worked together in "Mountains and Seas" before to appear in friendship.

......

"Brother Ze, why is there no news from Xu Ji?"

"We've been here for almost three days!"

In the hotel room where the Scream Band was staying, one of the guitarists, Yu Qi, spoke.

"What can he do if he can't write a song?"

"It's normal to have no news."

The other bassist Zhu Yan had an expression that was completely unexpected.

Xu Zhize said, "Don't worry. ”

"Since they are all here, let's wait for Mr. Xu Ji's new song."

Drummer Wang Jiangyu, who has always been quiet and rarely complains, said his thoughts at this time.

"I'm afraid that Xu Xian won't listen to our opinions."

"We don't say how high the level is, but after playing for so many years, we can still distinguish between good songs and bad songs."

"Actually, Xu Ji can come over earlier, and we can also help brainstorm. It's better than doing it behind closed doors. ”

"When Brother Ze wrote a new song before, didn't we all come over like this?"

......

Just as a few people were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Several people glanced at each other, and after opening the door, it was indeed Xu Ji who stood at the door.

"Alright, you all come with me."

Xu Ji said.

The four of them didn't say much, and then followed behind Xu Ji.

After a while, the people who followed were discussing in whispers.

Zhu Yan: "You said what we just said, didn't you hear it?" ”

Yu Qi: "It's very likely that you just spoke so loudly. ”

Zhu Yan: "Isn't that the end?" This has not yet started the official cooperation, and the result is to offend people. ”

Yu Qi: "According to the normal process, we are likely to sign a contract with Xu Ji's company in the future, which means that before we joined the company, the boss heard him talking about him privately." ”

Hearing that the two of them were still talking one by one, Xu Zhize roared in a low voice: "Shut up!" ”

......

Xu Ji took a few people to Tongji Entertainment's singing studio, which was actually rented a long time ago.

But in the follow-up, because Sha Yetong thought it was a little bigger, and she was the only one who was a little deserted now, so she didn't use it much.

Basically, I am still using the practice room that I built at Tongji Entertainment Studio.

Later, after Kong Cheng came to Rongcheng, it became a place where Kong Cheng would often come over.

But Kong Cheng wasn't there today, so there were only four members of the Screaming Band.

"It's the score and the lyrics."

"And the key here."

"You practice first, and I'll see the results in two days."

After Xu Ji finished speaking, he didn't stay much, and after a few more words, he left in a hurry.

The four members of the Screaming Band looked at each other a few times.

"Xu Ji is leaving?"

Bassist Zhu Yan said with a confused expression.

Drummer Wang Jiangyu glanced in the direction Xu Ji left.

"Looks like he really didn't intend for us to give us an opinion."

Lead singer Xu Zhize said:

"Don't talk about that, let's see how the song goes."

......

Half an hour later, after the four members of the Screaming Band had practiced the song given by Xu Ji in its entirety, the scene turned into a brief silence.

After a while, he had been not optimistic before, and he had a very good opinion about Xu Ji not seeing anyone for two days, Zhu Yanzhi said directly:

"Xu Ji Zhen NB."

Yu Qi looked at Xu Zhize and said:

"I take back my previous words, Brother Ze, you are right."

"Participating in this show is the best choice you have made since the band was formed."

......
