Chapter 177: No, buddy, are you pretending to be cool?
Although Yang Jiangjie is indeed a newcomer, so far this year, the one with the highest demand for album of the year is indeed the first album released by him this year.
It is precisely because the performance is too eye-catching.
Therefore, various marketing accounts, including music critics, will compare Xu Kong with Yang Jiangjie.
But on the other hand, Yang Jiangjie's fame and popularity are definitely not comparable to that of Xu Kong, who is at the height of his power.
You can tell from those articles and videos.
Yang Jiangjie's name did not appear on it, but Xu Kong's own photo or name was definitely placed on the most prominent cover and title.
There is no way, Xu Kong is indeed the so-called traffic password.
Xu Kong could understand that at Yang Jiangjie's current age, and because he had just graduated, he officially entered the entertainment industry and became a professional musician.
Let alone Xu Kong, it is estimated that more than 99% of the people in the entire Chinese music world can't stand him.
But on the one hand, it's a bit embarrassing for you to show it on the spot.
Xu Kong was not used to it and said directly:
"Actually, even if I don't release an album this year, the result won't be so suspenseful, right?"
After hearing Xu Kong's words, Xie Yiman certainly noticed something strange.
So he asked: "Is it the album you helped Su Zhi produce?"
Without waiting for Xu Kong to answer, she directly used this to change the topic.
"By the way, in addition to your own fans on the Internet, there are also your CP fans."
"I also want to ask for them, Su Zhi or Song Youyou, who do you choose?"
When Yang Jiangjie spoke just now and showed disdain for him, Xu Kong didn't take it seriously at all.
But Xie Yiman's question at this moment made Xu Kong almost break out in a cold sweat.
I'm not a eldest sister. Can such a question be asked on the show? ! !
Let’s not talk about how much excitement the show will create after it is actually broadcast.
What's more, if nothing else happens, Song Youyou and Su Zhi will definitely watch the variety show he participated in recording.
How should he respond?
However, Xu Kong is quite experienced in dealing with this matter.
Generally, the best way to answer such a pointed question is not to answer it.
It's not that he directly said that he didn't want to answer, but that what he said had nothing to do with the question itself.
"Youyou and Su Zhi are both excellent people I think."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Kong praised Song Youyou, and even talked about her acting talents and innocent and cute personality when she was on the set.
Xu Kong also praised Su Zhi's words, mainly talking about her singing skills and her serious and dedicated attitude towards her works and performances.
After hearing Xu Kong's answer, Xie Yiman had a high emotional intelligence and did not ask again aggressively.
In the following time, several guests chatted for a while, and finally the environment was ready to start the performance.
The first ones to appear were naturally the two senior singers from Hong Kong City.
It has to be said that although these veteran Hong Kong stars had a lot of messy scandals and black materials back then compared to many popular idols today.
But in terms of business, the gap is really huge.
Although he is almost 60 years old, Shi Rui still chose a masterpiece from his youth, and one with high difficulty and skill in singing.
And the final performance effect was surprisingly good.
Although it is definitely not as good as before, it is really not easy for someone at this age to be able to sing some high-pitched parts.
As for Ji Banghe, although the song he chose was not difficult, it was still one of his masterpieces.
For some young people at the scene, it was full of memories and emotions.
It is estimated that these songs were all agreed upon by the program team before the invitation.
Once these two classic songs come out, the final popularity and data of this show will not be too bad.
Even if the program is less effective, it may be difficult to become a so-called hit, but it is enough to be popular for a while.
Both of them sang Cantonese songs, and I have to say that Xu Kong could also hum a few lines along with them.
The outgoing rate can be said to be full.
As for the third one, Xie Yiman, who volunteered to sing on the small stage.
He actually suddenly thought of changing the song he had prepared.
It was replaced by a very classic Cantonese song.
Obviously in order to take advantage of the live atmosphere of the two singing kings' performance just now, the song was specially changed.
Of course, after all, it is not a competitive music variety show with strict competition rules. The director and the program team also acquiesce to such a thing that has its own program effects.
It can be seen that for a talented singer like Xie Yiman in his early years, in a relaxed state, even without any preparation, the effect and level of the performance are still very high.
And she herself is also quite relaxed.
It was not regarded as too formal a performance, but more like an impromptu performance at a gathering of friends.
However, in this way, the effect will be better.
Far exceeded expectations.
Originally, according to the script, Xu Kong should be the fourth one to take the stage.
But he didn't expect that Yang Jiangjie would take the initiative to suggest that he should act first.
On the program team's side, director Deng Baoliang still didn't make the decision without permission, but came to seek Xu Kong's opinion.
Xu Kong didn't care, saying he didn't mind the order of the performances.
But this was just the beginning. Perhaps because Xie Yiman had made a start, Yang Jiangjie actually said that he would change the song temporarily.
Although the program team did not follow the script very much when recording.
However, two guests in a row changed songs at short notice, which really made it go too far beyond the plan.
Just now, Xie Yiman was given the right to change songs temporarily. It would be really unjustifiable if he was not given the right to Yang Jiangjie.
So I could only agree.
And it can be seen that Yang Jiangjie did think of this on the spur of the moment.
He didn't even prepare the accompaniment for the song, but asked the program crew for a guitar.
When he took the stage, he took the initiative to introduce:
"This is a Cantonese song I wrote about a year ago, and it has never been published."
“If you don’t sing well, seniors, please forgive me and give me some pointers.”
Yang Jiangjie's words made Xie Yiman look expectant.
"Okay, not only will I sing a new song, but it will also be a Cantonese song."
It can be seen that although Yang Jiangjie spoke very modestly.
But at this time, he was quite confident, and he could even clearly feel the youthful arrogance of the other party.
I have to admit that the quality of this new Cantonese song by Yang Jiangjie is surprisingly good.
Both the lyrics and the melody have the flavor of old songs from the heyday of the Hong Kong music scene.
Even Shi Rui and Ji Banghe listened with interest.
The only thing that may be slightly weaker is that because there is no accompaniment prepared, the guitar accompaniment alone is still a little rough.
But this temporary change of songs, not to mention a completely new song, the quality is quite good, I have to say that this is a success for Yang Jiangjie
"It feels like those songs we had back then"
Shi Rui said in his not very standard Mandarin.
Ji Banghe also followed suit.
It was obvious that after listening to Yang Jiangjie's performance just now, the two Hong Kong singing kings still admired Yang Jiangjie, a young newcomer in the music scene.
Although Yang Jiangjie didn't look in his direction when he stepped down.
But Xu Kong always felt that the other party did it on purpose.
Although there was no conflict between the two just now, the other party was definitely unhappy with him.
If it were other circumstances, Xu Kong wouldn't care.
After all, I only agreed to participate in the program because I couldn't refuse Wu Youxue's kindness.
Just go through the scene and record it. But now, Xu Kong really couldn't stand it.
It’s not my brother, but you’re pretending to be cool on me?
From the time Xu Kong traveled to the present, most of the time he appeared in front of his own people.
All I can say is that I can't bear it.
Isn't it just changing the songs, so no one can change the same songs.
"Director Deng, can I change the song too?"
When Xu Kong came on stage to perform, he suddenly spoke, leaving Deng Baoliang stunned for a moment.
It’s the third one, forget it, it can’t be stopped now, so it doesn’t matter.
What's more, the person making the request now is Xu Kong. Even if he really wants to refuse, he probably won't be able to do it.
Then change it, change it however you want!
Anyway, it is like this now. Although it is very different from the original script, the program effect is enough anyway.
Xu Kong walked to the program staff and asked for the guitar Yang Jiangjie used just now.
Then he went up to the stage and sat down on the stool, imitating what Yang Jiangjie said just now and said:
"I think it's such a coincidence that this song was also written in Cantonese a year ago and I didn't have time to publish it."
"So if I don't sing well, please forgive me and give me guidance."
"A song of "Scoundrel" for everyone."
Xu Kong almost imitated what Yang Jiangjie said just now and said it again.
The guests and staff present were a little surprised.
As for Yang Jiangjie himself, his expression was a bit ugly.
No matter how inexperienced he was, he could tell that Xu Kong obviously said this on purpose.
But he couldn't refute it.
Because it is also a new song that has not been released yet, except for Xu Kong himself, no one really knows when he wrote the song.
After Xu Kong finished speaking, a slightly brisk guitar sound sounded.
What followed was Xu Kong's soft singing voice, as if he was telling a story.
"I get drunk from time to time and like my freedom"
"I often make mistakes and love to lie, but I always feel guilty"
"I have met many bad friends and learned to be greedy for the new and hate the old"
They are also new songs, and they are all Cantonese songs that are now gradually declining.
Naturally, people subconsciously compare this song by Xu Kong with the one by Yang Jiangjie just now.
But it can be clearly felt that although the quality of Yang Jiangjie's new song is equally good, the imitation of old songs from the Hong Kong music scene is too obvious.
It can be said that the nostalgic style is well done, and the melody is not bad, but it just doesn't make a deep impression on people.
Xu Kong’s song is obviously different.
Although it still has the flavor of the original Cantonese songs, the style is obviously more distinct.
And although there is only one guitar, the overall melody, guitar accompaniment, and completion are not generally high.
"It's so nice."
Ji Benghe praised concisely and concisely.
As for the other Hong Kong singer Wang Shirui, he did not speak at this moment, but listened very carefully.
"Afraid of getting married and only keeping the three-minute promise"
“I once said I would quit smoking, but I’ll forget it”
"My dreams and thoughts are far away, but I am tired of reworking"
Xie Yiman also understands Cantonese.
When I heard the lyrics sung by Xu Kong, I couldn't help but feel a little weird.
The title of Xu Kong's song is "Scoundrel".
When she first heard Xu Kong say it, she still didn't understand what it meant.
But now when I hear these lyrics, isn’t it the so-called scumbag nowadays?
"Why do you still like me, a scoundrel like me"
"You are stupid, but you are still great"
"Everyone here is stepping on me, how bad the reputation is"
"But you will never be surprised"
When it came to the chorus, Xu Kong's condition was still very stable.
The song itself is not the kind of slow song with particularly many emotional changes and ups and downs.
But the difficulty of singing itself is not low.
It's just that Xu Kong's singing skills are not at the top level in Chinese after he sang on the same stage with Hua Hongjuan at the Beijing TV New Year's Eve party.
But it’s not a big problem to beat up most of the so-called capable singers.
As for Xie Yiman at this moment, he just felt like he was a little brainwashed.
No matter how you listen to the lyrics of Xu Kong's song, it sounds like the confession of a scumbag who doesn't want to take responsibility and is spurned by others.
But it just gives people a very affectionate feeling, and even a sincerity that is seriously analyzing their own hearts.
The singing and melody alone are already so annoying.
Coupled with Xu Kong's handsome and somewhat unreasonable appearance, it really made Xie Yiman, a middle-aged woman, a little excited.
She felt that if it were some young girls, they might not be able to help shouting directly: "So what if you are a scumbag? Brother, come and scumbag me!"
"But you won't change your mind even if you die, and you will fight me tooth and nail"
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't have the heart to do it secretly"
When the last line of lyrics ended, the audience burst into even louder applause than before.
In addition to a few guests, there were also many older and younger girls from the live program team.
Including the young girl who went to pick up Xu Kong at the airport, she was the most excited at the moment, her face was red as she clapped her hands, she was very cute.
"Thank you everyone."
Xu Kong was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes. After bowing calmly, he took the initiative to step down.
"Xukong, you wrote this song so well!"
"I feel like I saw it."
As soon as he came on stage, Xu Kong was praised by two singing kings in Hong Kong.
His words were much more exaggerated than when Yang Jiangjie was speaking before.
As for Yang Jiangjie at this time, although he does not deny that Xu Kong's new song is good, he must still be very unconvinced that it stole his limelight after all.
However, in an inconspicuous corner, in the worst mood at the moment, which can even be said to be a little desperate, is the guest with the least presence in the entire episode, Yu Huai.
Not buddy!
He really wants to complain, what song do you guys want to change if nothing happens?
The key is that they are all in Cantonese, and Xu Kong and Yang Jiangjie wrote them themselves.
He is also a singer-songwriter. How can he get off the stage at this moment?
The most important thing is that it doesn’t matter if he can’t come up with a song, but he doesn’t have any Cantonese songs that he can sing!
At this time, the program director Deng Baoliang walked towards him, and then proactively asked:
"Do you want to change the song?"
It was not that Deng Baoliang deliberately embarrassed Yu Huai.
It mainly started with Xie Yiman, and then both Yang Jiangjie and Xu Kong took the initiative to apply for temporary song changes.
And they all sang Cantonese songs in unison.
Now Yu Huai is the only one left without a performance, so of course he has to ask.
Anyway, the program scripts are completely different now.
Yu Huai really wanted to say "Of course I want to change" in a very pretentious manner, and then go up and overpower Xu Kong.
But unfortunately, he could only helplessly smile and shake his head at this moment.
