Chapter 217 Oolong
After the live broadcast, there was a certain preparation room.
The familiar director Chen Dantong glanced at the A4 paper in his hand and asked Feng Shiqi:
“The performance tonight by you two was very exciting, but there are many fans of Phoenix Yu Fei. During the live broadcast, they said that they were very uncomfortable not hearing your singing.
Regarding this question, why did you two think about performing separately this time? ”
Feng Shiqi was sitting on a high stool, still wearing the dark blue cheongsam, which outlined her beautiful body curves.
“Why do you want two people to perform separately?”
Feng Shiqi turned to look at Bai Xingjian, then turned back and replied with a slight smile: “Actually, it’s me. I felt that the song "A Smile in the Sea" was not very suitable for me to sing, so I left it all to him.
Looking at it now, the effect is also very good, right?"
Feng Shiqi asked Chen Dantong in return.
"Yeah!" Chen Dantong nodded with a smile on his face, looked at her and praised: "Shiqi plays the pipa very well!"
"It's indeed very good." Bai Xingjian followed up with praise. .
Feng Shiqi smiled brightly, Chen Dantong smiled knowingly, and continued to ask with a smile:
"Whether it was in the previous eleven episodes, or when you were in "Tian Tuan Xin" "Times", I have never seen Shiqi play the pipa.
Is this a new pipa or have you learned it before?"
Hearing this question, Feng Shiqi's eyes lit up.
She smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I learned Pipa when I was young, but it was in a hobby class. I didn't learn it too deeply, so I only picked it up recently."
A surprised look flashed in Chen Dantong's eyes: "You just learned it recently? Your talent in Shiqi is really amazing!"
Bai Xingjian continued to praise: "Her talent in musical instruments "Always very high"
"As expected of Phoenix Yu Fei"
Chen Dantong sighed with emotion and continued to ask Feng Shiqi a few questions before turning the focus of the conversation to Bai Xingjian.
"So tonight's song "A Laugh in the Sea" is your response to Park Ji Jae?"
Bai Xingjian shook his head and denied: "How can this be a response? , I just want to sing a rap-related song to shut up some keyboard warriors on the Internet.”
Although he doesn’t care much about making topics popular, those people on the Internet still don’t care. Bai Xingjian felt like she was having a myocardial infarction after reading the comments that praised and criticized others.
For example, "Chinese rap is not as good as Korean rap" and "Compared with Park Ji Jae, Baek Hang Jian's rap is really mediocre".
Now, in addition to completing the tasks given by the system, this reason is also a relatively important part of the song "A Laugh in the Sea".
He Dantong nodded, she could understand the meaning of Bai Xingjian's words.
"So do you plan to continue singing this type of music on the stage of "Singing 2024"?"
"It depends. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will sing again. It’s okay.”
Bai Xingjian rubbed her chin and thought for a while, then said, “Some of our fans seem to like me singing rap music.”
"Yes! And not only your fans, but also many netizens also like You Sang's rap very much. Tonight's song "A Laugh in the Sea" has aroused a lot of discussion!"
He Dantong He nodded with deep understanding.
Before preparing for the audition, she watched everyone’s reaction to Phoenix Yu Fei’s stage tonight.
How enthusiastic!
He Dantong took advantage of the situation and asked: "Before tonight, the public was actually quite familiar with the song "A Laugh in the Sea". Compared with the version you created before, tonight's rap version has a unique What are your personal thoughts? Why do you want to make two versions of a song? And why are the rap lyrics in this song almost always used in Sichuan dialect? ”
Why?
He Dantong's three consecutive questions really put Bai Xingjian in trouble.
However, after pondering for a few seconds, Bai Xingjian blurted out:
“The main thing is to localize the element of ‘rap’.
Everyone should We know that "rap" is an imported product. It comes from the street culture of America and is full of American street culture
And this also leads to the fact that when our Chinese people sing rap, a large part of them do not break out of the original framework of rap. They still use foreign accents, foreign flows, and foreign characteristics, which are only superficial imitations. Feel.
So in order to break this shackles, I went straight to the extreme and added rap into songs with our ancient style.
As for why rap is sung in dialects, in addition to breaking the original constraints of rap, there is another reason. Dialects are more suitable for rap than Mandarin in terms of syllables or rhythm. They also have our local unique features. "
Chen Dantong's eyes lit up as she listened to what Bai Xingjian said.
Originally she thought Bai Xingjian was just in a mood and wrote it out on a whim. "A Laugh in the Sea" rap version of this song
But I never expected that there would be such a profound meaning in it.
This young man is really a bit of a monster!
Feng Shiqi's state at this time was almost the same as that of Chen Dantong. Her eyes looking at Bai Xingjian were also full of praise and admiration.
"Last question."
Chen Dantong raised her index finger and asked: "Compared to Roger's song "A Laugh in the Sea," which version do you think sounds better? ”
Chen Dantong looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, indicating that they both needed to answer this question.
Feng Shiqi pursed her lips and said first: "Each has its own advantages, but if you really have to choose one, then I still think that A Jian and I will sing "A Laugh in the Sea" tonight. It sounds better. After all, this song was performed by us together, just like A Jian and I..."
At this point, Feng Shiqi paused, blinked and continued: " ...The results, my results will definitely be better."
"I think so too." Bai Xingjian nodded with a smile.
“Okay.”
Chen Dantong smiled in surprise. She thought the two of them would hold water, but she didn't expect them to be so outspoken.
After walking out of the preparation room, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi both rubbed their brows tiredly.
Tonight’s live broadcast was a little longer than before, and it was already early in the morning when the recording was completed.
At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the two of them.
The person coming was blond and blue-eyed, it was Jessica.
She changed out of the white evening dress she wore before and replaced it with a more leisurely outfit, a white T-shirt and denim shorts.
Slender and straight legs are always so eye-catching.
She had also just finished her preparation. Thinking of some questions raised by the director of the preparation, she looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she said hello in fluent Chinese: "Hello. Hello~ Are Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi right?”
“Hello~”
Hearing such fluent Chinese, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were quite surprised and responded to Jessica with a smile.
The two parties did not talk too much, and left after meeting each other.
After the distance grew, Jessica’s manager Mattie said: “Are they the two of you that the host just said were your biggest rivals in “Singing 2024”?”
< br>A trace of doubt appeared on Mattie’s face, and then she nodded in admiration:
“If nothing else, these two people do have an advantage in appearance, completely different from what I thought before. .”
In a group, the boy is handsome and the girl is beautiful. It's not that Mattie has never seen it before, she has even seen it a lot, but that was all in America.
This situation seems to be particularly rare in China, but she saw a pair today.
"In addition to what you said, they also have great advantages in singing!" Jessica added.
“Indeed.”
Mattie did not deny it, looking at Jessica with a bit of teasing: “And that Bai Xingjian seems to be the same type as you. Singer-songwriter, according to the behavior of most agencies and variety show teams, they should put you and Bai Xingjian together for marketing next.”
"Marketing is marketing."
Jessica turned her head, with a face that didn't mind, and even a bit of ambiguity: "Sister, with such a high traffic, if the marketing is not successful, maybe it will It’s counterproductive, I hope Bai Xingjian can take advantage of my traffic.”
……
As Maddie said, Bai Xingjian is also a 22-year-old singer-songwriter. With Jessica, no one would miss such an easy opportunity to compare.
Therefore, shortly after the live broadcast of "Singing 2024" ended tonight, there was already a hot search term #白行jjessica# on the Weibo hot search list.
However, this hot search term is not very popular and has almost always been at the bottom of the hot search list.
On the other hand, another entry, #天宇瑞典Adapted version of "A Smile in the Sea"#, shot up all the way and reached the third position on the hot search list in the early morning of that day, attracting countless people's attention.
As for the reason, it can only be said to be a big oolong.
Tian Yu, forty-five years old, is a rather old-school musician.
Due to his talent, his focus is no longer on music. A few years ago, he switched careers and founded a chain of Internet celebrity restaurant brands and served as the manager.
He has a heavy career in real life, so he doesn't pay much attention to some things in the current music industry. Occasionally, when he has time, he only posts some complaints about life and his opinions on some old songs on Weibo to his old fans.
And in the early hours of tonight, Tian Yu, who closed his laptop and took a break from his career, picked up the small wine bottle on the desk in frustration and drank a few sips of white wine.
This is his habit. Whenever he encounters any problems in his career, he always uses wine to drown his sorrows.
“Ha~”
After a few sips of white wine, Tian Yu suddenly felt as if the world had become lighter.
Tian Yu walked to the bed with fluttering steps. As usual, Tian Yu opened the smart push playlist of Spark Music and prepared to listen to the music to sleep.
About ten minutes later, Tian Yu, who was already on the edge of sleep, suddenly frowned.
After a few seconds, his eyes suddenly opened, looking particularly bright in the dark night.
At the same time, there was also his angry roar:
"Grandma, what is this song about? Is it ancient or foreign? Yeah, it just ruined the song!”
Tian Yu sat up from the bed, found his cell phone in the dark, and turned off the "A Smile in the Sea" that was playing.
Tian Yu likes "A Laugh in the Sea" very much. Whenever Roger's voice sounds, he feels as if he is standing proudly on the top of the mountains, looking at the world as invincible.
But what is the situation of tonight's song "A Laugh in the Sea"?
There is no sense of listening at all, it is simply a mess!
When pressing the pause button, Tian Yu glanced at the singer’s name:
——Bai Xingjian.
Drowsily, Tian Yu felt that this name was quite familiar, and he said angrily:
"Listen to this voice and look at this name, I guess it's some little fresh kid. It’s a waste of songs. Nowadays, these entertainment companies really don’t ruin a few good songs, but they really can’t find the traffic password, right?”
Tian Yu doesn’t like idols, doesn’t like young people, and doesn’t like rap. .
The song "A Laugh in the Sea" that Bai Xingjian sang just now, in his subconscious mind at the moment, really brought together these elements.
Tian Yu, whose anger was already burning, returned to his desk, turned on the computer, and began to vent some of his grievances on Bai Xingjian and the song "A Laugh in the Sea" sung by him.
Half an hour later, he posted a Weibo post.
The content is classic and simple, which can be summarized into three points:
1. "A Laugh from the Sea" was adapted in such a different way that it simply ruined the original song!
2. Bai Xingjian, be your idol. A song like "A Laugh in the Sea" is not something you young people can do, please respect the originality! Respect originality! Respect originality!
3. Rap is an imported product, and there is no need to blend in with different cultures. What others have is other people’s, and what is yours is your own!
When this Weibo was posted, many of Tian Yu’s old fans agreed.
This resulted in the comments section being all criticizing Bai Xingjian, saying that he blindly changed songs and did not respect other people's original works.
"No, Bai Xingjian is the original author of the song "A Laugh in the Sea"? Doesn't he respect himself?"
There are actually several such comments in the comment area, but All were drowned out by mainstream critical comments.
A fan of Fenghuang Yufei who stayed up all night and checked Weibo vigorously, laughed out loud immediately after seeing this Weibo post, turned around and forwarded the relevant Weibo link and screenshot directly to Fenghuang Yufei’s fans Inside the group.
The late-night fan group suddenly became lively.
“Is this guy serious? Why are you talking nonsense in the middle of the night?”
“Maybe I didn’t wake up. I went to that person’s homepage and saw what he posted. Weibo is quite abstract.”
“Hahahahahaha, I’m so happy!”
"Forgive me for laughing like a pig in the middle of the night!"
"No, why can such a good thing only be seen by us? It must be seen by more people! I’m going to trend this post on Weibo.”
“I’m going to share the link!”
“I’m going to…”
So, in Phoenix. Thanks to the self-promotion of Yu Fei's fans, more and more people have seen Tian Yu's Weibo and participated in the discussion.
