Chapter 294: If you continue to fail, you will continue to change the rules
The audience was in an uproar, and the host instantly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Fortunately, the host is experienced and has excellent field control skills. He immediately looked at the judges and said, "Please ask some judges and teachers to comment on Zhang Wei's performance just now."
< br>"The song "Those Your Adventurous Dreams" by Zhang Wei just now is very good. This song really surprised me. I can even say that this is the best song in today's competition." One person. The judge said immediately.
Everyone’s doubtful eyes immediately turned to the judges’ table. Since Zhang Wei is the best, why should he not be allowed to advance? Why should he be allowed to participate in the ultimate PK? Isn’t this a shady plot?
The judge shamelessly continued: "Just backstage, several of us judges originally planned to let Zhang Wei advance directly, but when we learned that Zhang Wei had prepared three songs today, we changed our minds.
In the last competition, the song "Unfortunately No If" sung by Zhang Wei, as well as "Back to Back Hug" and "Those Are Your Adventurous Dreams" sung today, are all rare and good songs. , so we are also looking forward to what kind of amazing performance the third song prepared by Zhang Wei can bring us.
So we decided to let Zhang Wei participate in the ultimate PK. We want to know, Zhang Wei. What kind of song is Wei’s finale song? How beautiful will it be? I think the audience must have the same expectations as me!”
The judges are not blushing. The non-jumping guy gave this reason, and for the sake of legitimacy, he finally got the audience involved and tied up the audience's interests. As long as the audience has expectations, then I'm not doing anything wrong.
“How shameless!” Zhang Wei cursed secretly on the stage.
What kind of bullshit logic is this! After experiencing the game of throwing handkerchiefs and kicking shuttlecocks, you have to participate in a game of Russian roulette, just because you are so great, I like you so much, and I want to see you for a while!
This is like sending your idol to participate in the squid game. You don’t like her, you want her to die as soon as possible!
Excuses like this can be found. Zhang Wei has already realized that the little tricks of the program team are no longer just weekly quizzes and modifications to the competition rules. They have begun to use the judges card to kick themselves out. Out.
After realizing this, Zhang Wei felt a strong fighting spirit deep in his heart. He picked up the microphone and said; "Thank you, the judges, and thank the four judges for their expectations of me." With great love, I also hope that my third song will not disappoint the judges.
However, if the judges want to know about my subsequent entries, they can contact me privately and I will do it one-on-one. It’s okay to sing it to you, there’s no need to make it so complicated.
In this fierce competition, every time a contestant performs on stage, it is a rare opportunity to perform. In the past, only those who ranked first in the weekly quiz would have an extra opportunity to perform. Now that the judges have given me one more chance to perform, I am of course flattered,
but at the same time, I also feel that it is somewhat unfair for other contestants to deprive them of their singing opportunity. I think what the audience wants to see more is a fair competition between the contestants on the stage! ”
Zhang Wei’s words, on the surface, he said that he was taking up other people’s performance opportunities, which was unfair to other contestants, but in fact he was saying, you judges asked me to participate in the final PK, obviously It's unfair.
The judges are not fools. Of course they can hear the implication of Zhang Wei's words. Several of them blushed involuntarily, and some did not dare to look directly at Zhang Wei.
Moreover. Zhang Wei has made it clear. Are you looking forward to my next song? Then I can sing it to you in private. Why do you have to let me go to the ultimate PK?
In the future, if you judges continue to talk about looking forward to your next song, so you are asked to compete in the ultimate PK, there will be no legitimacy.
Zhang Wei is willing to sing to you in private, but for your own expectations, you deprive other contestants of the opportunity to perform. Do you, as a judge, still have the nerve to be a judge?
Backstage, the expression of the program planner also froze instantly. He also realized that this move could only be used once, and he would not be able to use the same excuse in the next game to prevent Zhang Wei from advancing directly.
"Let's talk about the end of the game. Whether you can advance smoothly in this game is still a matter of time!" The planner thought to himself.
……
Entering the final PK, the two contestants' votes were cleared and each sang a song to determine the winner.
Clearing the votes is obviously not a friendly rule for Zhang Wei, which means that all the previous hundreds of thousands of SMS votes will be invalidated and the counting of votes will have to start again.
Moreover, the program team also deliberately arranged for the opponent to sing first, which was equivalent to depriving Zhang Wei of one song to canvass for votes.
Zhang Wei did not complain about this. Anyway, the third song he prepared was a king-level song.
Zhang Wei's opponent sang a song called "The Only You in the World" by Cao Ge. This song was more lyrical and was also a popular style of that era. Many singers such as Yang Zongwei, Xiao Jingteng, Deng Ziqi and other singers have covered this song.
Behind the scenes, program planners have been paying attention to the voting data.
"How's it going? Did you get a high number of votes?" the planner asked.
"More than 50,000 votes, it will soon exceed 60,000 votes!"
"Why this?" The planner frowned fiercely. According to this data calculation, the singer finally It is difficult for the number of votes to exceed 200,000.
And Zhang Wei just finished singing the first song, and the number of votes exceeded 200,000. From this point of view, even the ultimate PK will not be able to stop Zhang Wei's progress.
The only thing the program planners are looking forward to now is that Zhang Wei's last song will directly pull his hips. If the audience is disappointed, they will not vote for Zhang Wei.
At this time, Zhang Wei also stood on the stage, preparing to sing his last song.
The backstage program planner has already obtained the music and lyrics of this song, but he is from an advertising and public relations background and is not professional in music, so he doesn’t know the level of this song.
Looking at the music score in his hand, the program planner couldn't help but ask: "Who knows music better and is more professional, tell me how this song is written?"
" Xiao Wu, weren’t you a bel canto singer before? Come over and tell me how this song goes!” the director said immediately.
A young girl was called over, and the planner handed her the music score in her hand.
The young girl looked at it for a long time and finally said: "This is the common structure pattern of pop music such as A-B-A or A-B-C-B, but some personal innovations and characteristics are incorporated into it. The main song part is relatively stable, The chorus has richer melody ups and downs, and the bridge section also has rhythm changes. The entire song structure is compact and very logical and layered."
"That's not what I'm asking about. Isn’t this song good?” the planner said.
"I don't know." The young girl shook her head.
“Aren’t you a bel canto singer? How could you not know whether the song is good or not?”
"I really don't know. Only when the song is sung can I know whether it sounds good or not! Just give me a piece of music. How can I know if the song sounds good or not?" the young girl said with an aggrieved look.
Not getting an answer, the planner looked depressed and could only wait for Zhang Wei to start singing.
Finally, the prelude sounded, still with the familiar piano accompaniment, and then Zhang Wei also started singing this time.
"Why should you be disappointed, hide your tears in your heart, the past does not lie, don't be embarrassed by it, there is no need for this between the two of us, I think...
The sadness of practicing love , learn to let go of our previous desires, our beliefs, how difficult it is to forget, appreciation from a distance, confusion from a distance, who said the sun will find the moon, the love that others have, we cannot imitate..."
< br>
When Zhang Wei finished singing this line, the program planner's expression had frozen.
Whether the song is good or not, you can’t tell by looking at the music, but you can always tell by listening to it!
Even if the program planner has never studied music, he can tell that this song is really, really nice.
He was originally expecting Zhang Wei to suddenly stretch his hips during the last song, but now his hope was completely shattered.
Based on the quality of this song, that’s another 200,000 SMS votes starting!
...
When many fans evaluate JJ Lin's golden songs, they will rank the song "Practice Love" in the top three, or even first.
As far as the awards this song has won, it is indeed qualified to compete for the top three positions among JJ Lin's many golden songs.
Since this song was released in 2013, from the mainland, to Hong Kong, to Taiwan, and then to Singapore, wherever there are Chinese golden song awards, this song is indispensable.
The year 2013 when this song was released happened to be the tenth year of JJ Lin’s career. At this time, JJ Lin not only established his own style, but also showed diversity and creativity in his music style. .
During this period, JJ Lin was very mature in his ability to control a variety of music styles. His fusion of R&B, pop, electronic, rock and even Hip-Hop elements made his songs unique. Moreover, the control of electronic music elements is also more perfect. In many songs, electronic music can be harmoniously integrated into it, and the songs are more modern.
Needless to say, the emotional expression of songs is a characteristic of JJ Lin and what JJ Lin is good at. His songs can always touch people's hearts with delicate emotions.
JJ Lin at this time is JJ Lin at his peak, and this song "Practice Love" is exactly the pinnacle song of JJ Lin at his peak.
......
When Zhang Wei came up with the song "Practice Love", there was no suspense in this final PK.
JJ Lin’s peak song, how many people in the Chinese music world can rival him?
Before, the judges said duplicity that they were looking forward to Zhang Wei's last song, but now they suddenly discovered that this song is really worth looking forward to.
Although in terms of style, this song is similar to the previous "Back to Back Hug" and "Those Your Adventurous Dreams", from a musical perspective, this song "Practice Love" is overall Be better.
Looking at Zhang Wei who had just finished singing on the stage, several judges had different thoughts. "Fortunately, this bullshit excuse like 'Looking forward to the next song' can only be used once. Without a reasonable reason, the next program planner will probably not ask us to do something shady!"
"What is talent? This is talent. I have been in the music industry for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I have seen such musical talent. It seems that it won't be long before the Chinese music scene will have another king!"< br>
“The organizer obviously wants to eliminate Zhang Wei. This is interesting. On one side is talent and on the other side is capital. I would like to see whether capital buries talent or talent defeats capital in the end!”
The judges each have their own thoughts, and of course there are also some who want to watch the fun and not take it too seriously.
At the same time, in the background, the number of votes received by Zhang Wei's text message soared. Even after breaking through the 200,000 mark, he still did not stop and went straight to 300,000 votes.
Looking at this number, the program planner closed his eyes helplessly.
It seems that if you want to eliminate Zhang Wei, you still have to think of other dirty tricks!
......
In the lounge, sitting in front of Zhang Wei was Xiaoxiang Entertainment's legal affairs officer, a lawyer named Guan.
In order to delay time, Zhang Wei deliberately marked a lot of things that he didn't understand on the contract, which made Hu Li's head grow bigger than hers.
As a result, Hu Li turned around and actually hired a lawyer from the legal department to explain the terms of the contract to Zhang Wei.
This is what professional lawyers have to eat. Zhang Wei can fool Hu Li, but in the face of professionals, Zhang Wei really can't continue to pretend to be confused and delay time.
"Mr. Zhang, do you understand what I just explained? If you don't understand, I can continue to explain it to you." Attorney Guan put on a posture of legal experience.
"Thank you, Guan Lu, for your explanation. I understand everything." Zhang Wei nodded.
“Now that we understand everything, let’s sign the contract!” Lawyer Guan continued.
“Guan Li, we have to wait for signing the contract. Although I understand the terms of the contract now, I still don’t know whether this contract is fair to me, so I still You have to consult a lawyer and listen to his professional advice," Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"I am a lawyer. If you want to ask anything, you can ask me directly!" Lawyer Guan said immediately.
"Isn't this inappropriate? If you represent Party A and Party B at the same time, does it violate the professional ethics of lawyers? Is it allowed by the Lawyers Association?"
"That's right. "Lawyer Guan nodded pretending to be enlightened.
He is a lawyer. How could he not know that a lawyer cannot represent Party A and Party B at the same time? He is just trying to sign the contract as soon as possible to save time. Now that Zhang Wei has pointed it out, he can only pretend that he didn't notice.
Lawyer Guan then continued: "If you need legal services, I can also introduce you to several colleagues who are very professional in the industry."
"Is there any charge?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.
"The fees must be collected, but for my sake, they will give you a discount." Lawyer Guan said in a cool voice.
"That's no need. I'd better ask a senior from our school's law school to help me take a look. The main thing is that it doesn't cost anything, it's free." Zhang Wei said with a smile.
“How long do you need?” Attorney Guan asked.
"I am studying in the capital. If I send something back to the capital from here, it will arrive in three days at most! Don't worry, I will send it by express postal service, the one endorsed by Liu Xiang. It will arrive in a flash!" Zhang Wei said with a smile! .
"Even if Liu Xiang runs errands for you in person, it won't arrive in a blink of an eye! It takes three days to send it and three days to send it back. Plus the time to read the contract, it won't take more than a week!"
Lawyer Guan made a mental calculation. After a while, he asked: "By the way, what did you just say?"
"I said studying in the capital..."
"Not this sentence, but the previous sentence."
“I said to find a senior from our college’s law school...”
"It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence!"
"I asked you whether it charges to read the contract?"
"No charge, free to read! You can read it in one day!" Lawyer Guan immediately said.
“Guan Li, you are so funny, you still bring me back to make up for it!”
……
In the conference room, the leader's face was gloomy.
"Why hasn't Zhang Wei's contract been signed yet? Director Hu, your efficiency is too poor!"
Facing the leader's question, Hu Li quickly said: "Me too I didn’t expect Zhang Wei to have so many reasons. He said he wanted to find a lawyer to look at the contract in detail, so he had to wait until next week to sign it. "
"He is delaying it on purpose!" Someone immediately spoke.
No one is stupid, and Zhang Wei's method of delaying time is not clever either. Anyone with a little bit of brain can see it.
The program planner asked: "Leader, it is not an option to let Zhang Wei delay like this. Our programs are getting more and more popular, and we should put resources on our own artists."
"But Zhang Wei is still one of the contestants! We are running a competition, we can't ban players from participating!"
"So in the next game, 9 will advance to 7, we must find a way to eliminate Zhang Wei !”
“How to eliminate? In the last competition, we had changed the rules and used judges, but Zhang Wei still advanced. His songs were so good, and the text message voting was better than the other contestants. Da Jie, as long as it’s a PK, no one can beat him!”
“What do you think of introducing public judges? Let’s say hello to them in advance and let them judge Zhang Wei. Get eliminated!”
"This is a good idea. Anyway, we have used public judges in previous auditions. Now that we are using public judges again, the audience can't fault it."
"But don't forget, using public judges Judges are also risky. Public judges are not musicians, nor are they in the entertainment industry. They don't have to rely on us to support us. If a few lax people sell us out, then our reputation will be lost. Sweeping the floor."
"It makes sense, and there is another factor, that is Zhang Wei. The three songs Zhang Wei sang in the last game were all golden songs. Singing a golden song, but the public judges eliminated him, it will inevitably cause controversy in public opinion, which is negative for the program as a whole."
"Yes, ordinary people can decide whether the song is good or not. I heard it." The other person nodded with deep understanding.
"This is our show. We are violating the organizer. Isn't there any way to eliminate Zhang Wei?" the leader asked angrily.
Everyone in the conference room immediately fell into silence.
Finally, the person sitting at the bottom of the table leaned forward and said; "Boss, our respective directors, I have an immature idea."
"Don't do it at this time. It’s too late, just say it quickly!”
“We can continue to modify the competition rules. Our current rules do not limit the singing types of singers. In the next competition, we can stipulate the singing types of the contestants. !" the man said.
"Tell me your plan in detail." The leader said.
"I don't know if you have noticed that the songs Zhang Wei sings are all love songs, and their styles are relatively fixed. They start with soothing piano accompaniment, and then add orchestral music to enhance emotional expression. Generally speaking, his style of music They are all relatively lyrical.
Now that we understand Zhang Wei's style of music, we simply stipulate that the singing type of the next competition will be rock, and all contestants must sing rock by then. If Wei can't continue singing the genre he's good at, he might be eliminated!"
"That's a good idea! I agree! Let's have a rock concert next time!" Someone immediately agreed! .
“It’s okay to have a rock concert, but isn’t our current judging panel a little weak?” Another person asked.
"Then let's invite another flight judge." The leader thought for a while and said: "Since it is rock and roll, then we have to invite rock players to be the flight judges. Cui Jian, Dou Wei, Wang Feng, Xu Wei, this Let’s ask some of the top rock people who are free to be our judges.”
