Chapter 295: The big store can bully the customers, but the big customers can also bully the store
“The rock concert in the next game? Is it just rock music?”
“Singing rock music, that’s great Yeah, my favorite thing is rock! Rock boys, cheer up!"
"There are many golden songs in English. You can choose to sing English songs then!"
" As for rock music, I’ve already thought about it, so I’ll sing the song “I Want to Say I Love You Loudly”, but you can’t steal it from me!”
"This name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it for a moment. Who sang it?"
"It's the opening song of "Slam Dunk". You must have seen "Slam Dunk"!"
“Can you speak Japanese?”
“No, but I can sing the Chinese version!”
Several contestants began to discuss the song for the next competition. Zhang Wei next to him fell into silence.
"The rock concert, which limits the theme of the competition, is different from the "Fast Boys" I remember!
I remember that "Fast Boys" only started to appear in every game in 2013 The theme is that in 2007, all the contestants sang whatever they wanted.
How could this happen? Is it because of me? The fast guy, so that caused the organizer to change the rules?"
Zhang Wei was thinking about it when a player came over and patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and said;
"Zhang Wei, You are going to sing rock music in the next competition. Have you decided what to sing? You are now the new little prince of love songs. You have only sang love songs before, but I have never heard of you singing rock music!”
Zhang Wei turned around and saw that it was Ji Jie, one of the contestants, who was speaking. At thirty years old, he is the oldest among all the players, and he is also like a big brother in everyone's eyes.
“I’ve never sung rock music.” Zhang Wei nodded.
"Then this rule change will be very detrimental to you." Ji Jie lowered his voice and continued: "The day before yesterday, I saw Lawyer Guan coming to see you. Have you not followed me yet? Xiaoxiang Entertainment signed the contract? "
"Yes, I still have some doubts about the content of the contract, so I haven't signed it yet." Zhang Wei nodded.
“No wonder!” Ji Jie sighed, and continued: “Don’t blame me for being too talkative. If you want to continue in the game, you’d better sign the contract as soon as possible! Even if it’s like I think it’s better to sign a notice contract first.
Otherwise, the rules will definitely become more and more unfavorable to you. Xiaoxiang Entertainment is definitely not willing to invest too many resources in an outsider. Even if you can survive this one, what about the next one? What's next? After all, the arms can't hold the thighs. "
"Thank you, Brother Ji. "Zhang Wei thanked him, and he already understood in his heart why history has changed.
This rock concert is obviously a rule specially formulated for himself.
In the previous competition, , Zhang Wei sings all JJ Lin's songs, and the style of the songs is also JJ Lin's traditional lyrical style. It has nothing to do with rock and roll, and it has basically nothing to do with it.
"I was originally thinking about this. In a competition of this level, singing JJ Lin's songs directly reduces the dimensionality, but I didn't expect the program team to think that I can only sing this type of song! So we organized a special rock concert. ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.
“This program team really underestimates me! I have a lot of hit-level rock music in my mind. But the saying that the arms cannot hold the thighs is true, but who is the arm and who is the thigh? There are still two words to say now!”
So Zhang Wei picked up his phone and sent Wang Xing a text message, allowing Wang Xing to give him a call back.
About twenty minutes later, Wang Xing called.
"I was having a meeting with the technical department just now, and there is also a meeting with the planning department after that. I am almost busy!" Wang Xing complained first, and then asked: "Junior brother, what are you looking for? What’s wrong with me?”
Zhang Wei knew that Wang Xing's initial complaint was to keep the story short and stop talking nonsense, so he said directly: "Brother, I need your help with something, or I need to use the resources on the school network."
"What's the matter?" Wang Xing asked immediately.
"There is a talent show recently called "Fast Boys". You have heard of it, right? It is a continuation of the popular "Super Girl" two years ago."
"This is for sure. I heard that our school network is mainly aimed at young netizens. It is a hot topic among young people, of course I have heard of it," Wang Xing replied.
Hearing Wang Xing's answer, Zhang Wei knew that Wang Xing only knew about such a topic and must not have gone to the competition. Otherwise, he must have known that Zhang Wei had already gone to compete.
But then I thought about it, Wang Xing didn't have time to watch any drafts. Xiaonei.com was in the initial stage of expansion and had to attract subsequent rounds of investment. At least before it went public, Wang Xing was a very busy man.
So Zhang Wei said directly: "Brother, I am also participating in this talent show."
"You are also participating in the talent show!" Wang Xing's tone was full of surprise.
"And I have already advanced to the top 9 in the country. This is why I came to you this time. I want to use the resources of the school network to build momentum for myself." Zhang Wei said.
"I understand, this is easy. The school network is our own platform, and we will definitely support you fully. Just in time, I will have a meeting with the planning department later and ask them to prepare a planning case for you and give it to you. Promote it." Wang Xing said.
After ending the call with Wang Xing, a proud smile appeared on Zhang Wei's face again.
Although the Internet penetration rate in 2007 was far lower than that of later generations, and the Internet has not yet threatened the survival of TV programs, the communication power of the Internet is already unmatched by other media.
For example, those first-generation Internet celebrities, who didn’t know who didn’t know about them at the time?
TV media with strict censorship will definitely not report on people like Sister Feng. It will not have a positive publicity effect at all and is not in line with the values of TV media. Larger newspapers generally don’t bother to pay attention to her, even if they report it At most, it is regarded as curious news.
However, through the Internet, Sister Feng became a household name overnight and became the target of netizens' routines. This communication power is comparable to that of news broadcasts, and the topic is no less popular than popular events.
The situation of several other first-generation Internet celebrities is similar. Some rely on being ugly, some rely on jaw-dropping remarks, some rely on beautiful photos, and some only need to drink a cup of milk tea to become famous overnight.
Now, Zhang Wei plans to take advantage of the communication power of the Internet.
Xiaonei.com is the top social media in China, with tens of millions of registered users, and most of them are young people. With such a good card, Zhang Wei has no reason not to use it.
You can’t just let the program crew try to mess with you and not fight back, right?
Things like a store bullying customers can make customers feel helpless, but on the other hand, if customers bully a store, the store owner will also feel helpless! ……
Usually, after singer-songwriters become famous, their music style will be relatively fixed. This fixation is not static, but their music style will gradually focus on their music style as they grow and accumulate experience. Someone has a specific style and area to explore and develop in depth.
For example, Jay Chou has created various types of music, but no matter which type, fans who are familiar with him will know that this is Jay Chou's song, even if it is a song he wrote for others. Fans can also feel his strong personal characteristics.
JJ Lin is obviously this type of singer. His songs have a very unique personal style. Even if others imitate him, you can tell that this person is imitating JJ Lin.
Singers of this type are not without their shortcomings. Their biggest shortcoming is that it is difficult to change their own style, whether it is music creation or song singing.
For example, a singer like Lin JJ who has a perfect personal style. He usually adopts Lin's lyrical style. If he is suddenly asked to write about rock, it's not that he can't write it, but nine times out of ten, what he writes will have a hint of "Gangnam". smell.
Perhaps for this reason, JJ Lin asked Mayday to collaborate on the song "Dark Knight", and finally successfully integrated piano and rock.
Pairing piano with rock music is not difficult to say, but it definitely requires relatively high skills, creativity and adaptability.
Rock music is known for its strong rhythm, dynamic melody and unique musical style, while the piano is usually regarded as a more traditional and elegant instrument.
Integrating piano and rock music requires high consistency in the overall rhythm and musical style. And even if they can be integrated together, a good song may not come out.
Thanks to both JJ Lin and Mayday being top musicians, they were able to create hits like "The Dark Knight".
So the program team followed this idea and believed that Zhang Wei is only good at lyrical style songs. If you are good at using piano and orchestral music to deepen your emotions, you must not be good at rock music, because the two styles do not match at all.
To put it another way, if you have the ability to fuse these two styles together and produce a hit song, then you are JJ Lin and Mayday, and you will be killed!
......
This week's quiz was titled "Don't Stop" by Jolin Tsai, a dynamic and fast song. Zhang Wei was still ranked last and went directly to the midfield PK.
Facing the last place in the quiz, Zhang Wei's mentality has calmed down, and the competition has reached the top 9 stage, and the remaining opponents are also masters. To be honest, their understanding of music is better than Zhang Wei's.
Zhang Wei only exchanged for an ordinary singing skill, not for musical understanding, nor for musical talent. He sang the same song with a group of people who love music, have musical understanding, and have God to reward them. It’s normal to lose a song.
This match is a 9-for-7 match. Since there are only 9 people left, it is no longer divided into two teams for PK, but directly changed to a two-by-two PK that competes for the ring.
Zhang Wei came last in the quiz and did not participate in the ring battle. After the ring battle, the other eight contestants were selected by the judges to directly advance to the top 7. Among the remaining six contestants, the worst performer was selected. , entering the midfield PK.
The opponent in the midfield PK is naturally Zhang Wei, who ranked last in the quiz.
In this game, the program team once again introduced a public jury, with 31 public judges to decide the outcome of the midfield PK.
Looking at the 31 public judges who suddenly appeared, Zhang Wei frowned.
The midfield PK no longer relies on SMS voting, but is decided by the public jury. This is obviously not good news for him. There are only 31 people, which means that it is much more convenient for the program team to engage in shady activities. As long as you get 16 of them, you can control the outcome of the game.
The identities of these so-called public judges have not been disclosed. If the program team really appoints a few internal personnel, Zhang Wei really has no place to reason!
“I didn’t expect that the program team could use such a dirty trick! The situation is not good!” Zhang Wei sighed slightly.
Now we can only hope that these 31 people are really public judges and not insiders arranged by the program team.
However, Zhang Wei also knows that if the program team is really determined to eliminate him, there will definitely be insiders on the public jury.
At this moment, the host continued: "Today is a special rock show. Our program has also specially invited the 'King of Rock' Mr. Wang Feng as a flight judge. Next, we invite Mr. Wang Feng!"
< br>As the host's voice fell, the accompaniment on the sidelines also sounded the prelude of the song "Blooming Life".
Teacher Wang Feng, who still has long hair, walked onto the stage. Today, he was wearing a leather jacket on the upper body and jeans on the lower body. It was really full of rock and roll style.
Seeing Teacher Wang Feng, Zhang Wei was slightly surprised, because in Zhang Wei's memory, Teacher Wang Feng did not come to 07 Kuaiman as a judge.
During the rehearsal before this, Teacher Wang Feng did not show up. It can be seen that the program team must have done confidentiality work in order to give the audience a surprise.
Wang Feng’s coffee table is much larger than that of Wu Kequn in the last show, and this is a rock concert, so inviting a domestic rock star will fit the theme very well.
After Wang Feng's performance, it was the contestants' turn to perform. The contestants were obviously familiar with the theme of rock and roll, and they all performed well.
After all the other eight contestants finished singing, the judges selected two people to directly advance to the top 7. The remaining six people, five of whom are to be determined, the one with the worst performance will enter the midfield PK and compete with Zhang Wei in the knockout round.
Perhaps in order to please Teacher Wang Feng, Zhang Wei's opponent directly chose the song "Fly Higher".
Seeing the contestants singing their own songs, Wang Feng gave a very good evaluation without hesitation, and the other judges also said yes.
The original singer has been agreed upon. If the other judges continue to find faults, they will not give the original singer face, and they will appear to not understand music.
Can you understand this song better than the original singer?
You must know that in that era when rock music had fallen into a niche, it was this song "Fly Higher" that brought rock music back to the mainstream. Wang Feng is known as half of the country's rock music industry, and he is well-deserved.
Can you understand rock music better than Teacher Wang Feng?
The opponent received a very good evaluation from the original singer, and the pressure instantly came to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei stood on the stage, and the bassist who accompanied him on the sidelines took the lead in playing. Then, the sound of the electric guitar joined in, and a few lines of rhythmic music sounded.
At the same time, the title of the song appeared on the subtitles of the TV: "Princess".
