Chapter 135 134. The spirit of rock and roll, Yang Yilong's confidence? (Subscribe!)

He had just heard Zhou Qinghua mention the names of these four people.

Although, he had occasionally heard the names of these four and the bands they had been in from other people.

However, he did not know any of these four people, so he didn't know who was who among them.

Wang Qian admires these four people who still insist on performing on stage even at their old age!

And now, looking at the outfits of the four of them, they seem to be still at the forefront of fashion.

Tight leather jacket, dyed yellow afro, stud earrings, and bright gold pendants around her neck and wrists.

Wang Qian admires their young mentality even more.

but……

He really didn't know the uncle who wanted to teach him the spirit of rock and roll.

So, he wanted to get to know him.

After hearing what Wang Qian said, the four of them all stared at Wang Qian with wide eyes.

The guy with the afro who was talking to Wang Qian raised his voice and spoke in Cantonese: "You, don't you know me?"

Wang Qian nodded and answered seriously: "Well... I don't just not know you, I don't know any of you four."

The four of them were stunned for a moment.

Then a hint of anger appeared on their faces.

"Well, kid, you'll know us once we eliminate you."

The other person stared at Wang Qian and spoke in a cold voice, then walked past Wang Qian, and the others also left quickly.

A fat man with an afro stood in front of Wang Qian. He looked at Wang Qian carefully and said, "I like your music. I heard that you are a piano professor at three music colleges in mainland China?"

Wang Qian nodded: "Well, he is considered a professor of three colleges, but it's just a title, don't take it seriously."

The other party smiled and looked at Wang Qian: "You really don't know us?"

Wang Qian smiled innocently: "I really don't know you, but I want to know you, but you don't give me the chance."

The other party looked closely at Wang Qian's eyes and expression, nodded and said, "You don't look like you're lying. How long have you been playing rock music? You don't even know us, so how do you know Lao Cui?"

Wang Qian looked around and said with a smile, "If it wasn't for my friend's introduction, I wouldn't have known Teacher Cui. I haven't been playing rock music for long. I just started playing it recently."

"hehe!"

The other party laughed and said, "Okay, my name is Huang Zhongsheng, I'm from Taiwan, have you heard of the East Blue Band in the past?"

Wang Qian nodded: "I've heard of it!"

Huang Zhongsheng: "I am the bassist of the East Blue Band!"

Wang Qian: “I’ve heard so much about you!”

Huang Zhongsheng: "Okay, stop pretending. I can tell from your expression that you haven't heard of my name. I am looking forward to your performance this time. I agreed to be a musician for Yang Yilong because I have seen your performance and I want to try to perform on the same stage with you. Rock and roll, there hasn't been a surprising new force for a long time, you give me hope."

Wang Qian: "Thank you. I am also looking forward to your performance. You are all seniors. I am under a lot of pressure."

Huang Zhongsheng looked at Wang Qian and said, "I don't see that you are under any pressure. I won't talk to you anymore. Let's go get ready!"

After saying that, Huang Zhongsheng turned and walked towards the stage to meet Yang Yilong and others.

Wang Qian looked at Huang Zhongsheng's back and could see the spirit and pride of the golden generation of rock and roll!

That is a spirit of persistence, not giving up, and not compromising!

In Wang Qian's view, this is the spirit of rock and roll.

Rock is the most self-expressive and self-centered music genre!

Therefore, every rock band that has left its mark in history has its own unique characteristics.

These four old-time rock artists have this feeling. Each of them is in his forties or fifties, but they still stick to their own ideas and styles, and refuse to admit defeat or grow old.

pity……

After all, they are old and eliminated by the times!

Under the tide of the times, rock music has declined and become a niche music.

Wang Qian felt a little regretful.

Qin Xuerong, Jiang Yu and Murong Yue came over.

Murong Yue explained, "The four of them are all veterans in the rock industry. The one with blond hair is Gao Feng, a member of the Baodao Qingwen band, which disbanded fifteen years ago. The one with the longest chain around his neck is Liu Jiale, a member of the Hong Kong Island Ocean Band, which disbanded thirteen years ago."

"The guy wearing sneakers is Li Wenhui, from the Hong Kong Jewels band, which disbanded ten years ago."

"The last person who spoke to you was Huang Zhongsheng, from the band Formosa East Blue, which disbanded twelve years ago."

"They were one of the earliest rock musicians in China, and they enjoyed a few glorious years, but unfortunately they were soon eliminated."

“When I was a student at Berkeley, I studied their development.”

Murong Yue spoke in a serious tone, which was rare.

Wang Qian looked at Murong Yue with a little surprise, then nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, you will lose to us anyway."

Murong Yue smiled and said, "Of course you will. You have Jiang Jiang and I to help you! I saw you say on Weibo the other day that there is a saying in the Three Kingdoms that if you get one of the two, you can rule the world. Now you have both the dragon and the phoenix, so you will definitely rule the world!"

This girl was so proud when she spoke, she almost poked her chin up to the sky! Jiang Yu understood Murong Yue's words and nodded happily to show his agreement.

Obviously, they usually pay attention to Wang Qian's Weibo updates.

This is what Wang Qian and Xue Man talked about on Weibo more than half a month ago about the Three Kingdoms, and they mentioned Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!

Unexpectedly, Murong Yue and Jiang Yu both noticed it at that time, and they were so shameless as to compare themselves to Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick!

that is……

If, they were shown the words of the richest man in Xihong City.

I don’t know if they will be very happy.

then.

Wang Qian pretended to be surprised and looked at Murong Yue, saying, "Is that so? I didn't expect that. How could I, Wang Qian, be so worthy of the help of both Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child at the same time? Why should I worry about not being able to accomplish great things?"

Murong Yue blinked her eyes, looked at Wang Qian who was cooperating with the performance, and said with a reserved smile: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly and whispered, "Boring!"

Qin Xuerong came over and said with a smile: "Okay, the three of you stop joking and go over and join everyone else. Later, find a chance to walk around the stage, find your position, and get a feel for it. Don't mess up when you go on stage to perform. Time is running out."

Jiang Yu and Murong Yue both nodded, with serious expressions on their pretty faces.

Wang Qian looked towards the stage.

Yang Yilong led four rock predecessors on the stage to practice their movements and get a feel for the performance. They didn't sing, but hummed a few times.

This is also our current rehearsal habit.

They are all practicing positioning!

I'm not really singing, at most I'm simulating shouting a few times to get the feeling of singing.

There was another contestant in this competition whom Wang Qian knew. He was one of the contestants with whom he had dinner when he first came to Xihu City.

Lin Bing, a contestant under Wang Jingyu.

Lin Bing also entered the second round, this time performing at the same time as Wang Qian.

Seeing Wang Qian, he walked over quickly. Lin Bing said with a little surprise: "Hello, Professor Wang!"

Wang Qian: "Lin Bing, we've had dinner together, don't be so distant. How are your preparations?"

Lin Bing smiled and nodded at Qin Xuerong, and replied: "It's OK. My opponent's strength seems to be about the same as mine, but I am more prepared this time, so it may be no problem for me to advance. However, I may not be able to make it to the next round. In the next round, I may have to face Chen Xiaowen. I am very satisfied to have made it this far."

This year's Voice of China is recognized as the strongest in the past decade.

But at the same time, there are also two recognized super bosses!

One is Wang Qian under Cui Wenfeng.

Another one is Chen Xiaowen who is under Wang Jingyu.

These two players are a level above other talented players and are the two strongest candidates for the championship.

Even if Lin Bing advances this time, the contestant he faces in the next round may be the boss of the same group, Chen Xiaowen! Facing Chen Xiaowen, Lin Bing has no chance of winning.

but.

When Lin Bing had dinner with Wang Qian and others last time, she frankly said that she was just here to show her face and that she only wanted to do her best, not the best! Wang Qian admired Lin Bing. She had a positive attitude, was positive, and was very strong. He encouraged her, "Chen Xiaowen is not invincible. Come on, eliminate Chen Xiaowen."

Lin Bing smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying jokingly: "I'll try my best."

A hint of expectation and confidence also flashed in Lin Bing's eyes.

Young people, who doesn't have a dream ?

Did she really eliminate Chen Xiaowen?

She is also signed to a large group company, and has the resources to support her! This time...

She also brought an original song that she liked very much, which the company bought at a high price.

Therefore, she is confident of advancing.

Next time, even if it’s facing Chen Xiaowen.

If she could get more and stronger support from the company.

Then, it will definitely be better than this performance.

Eliminating Chen Xiaowen is not impossible! However.

Lin Bing looked at Wang Qian, and a feeling of helplessness appeared in his heart again! Even if Chen Xiaowen was eliminated, what would happen? In the end, they still had to face Wang Qian, the super boss? Who could eliminate Wang Qian?

None of the contestants in this year's Voice of China have enough confidence!

Even so, many contestants already have the resources of large companies behind them.

They still didn't have much confidence facing Wang Qian, the boss who relied on his own strength to fight.

For example, Yang Yilong didn't dare to brag when facing Wang Qian just now, and appeared very low-key and humble.

Lin Bing didn't even dare to think about eliminating Wang Qian.

Only the champion can participate in the world championship.

Most of the players are aiming for the World Championship.

If you can't participate in the world competition, what's the point of getting the second place if you can't go abroad? Besides, how many viewers will remember the second place? Who still remembers the second place of the Voice of China in the past ten years?

Therefore, Lin Bing still felt powerless in his heart.

This year's Voice of China is really strong.

If it were previous years, Lin Bing would really be confident of winning the championship.

But in this session, Lin Bing only hopes to be in the top ten.

After chatting for a while, Lin Bing said goodbye and went to practice his movements on the stage.

At this time, the show was about to start.

Instructors including Cui Wenfeng, Wang Jingyu, Qin Han, and Liu Junhua also entered the venue one after another.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Cui Wenfeng came over and saw that Wang Qian brought so many people, and was also surprised: "So many people? Are there more people playing rock music now?"

Wang Qian knew that Lao Cui was joking, and said with a smile: "If we fight, you can just declare me the winner."

Cui Wenfeng smiled and shook his head: "What tricks are you playing this time?"

Wang Qian explained in a low voice: "This time I tried to add folk music arrangement, and invited some students from the folk music department of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music to help."

Cui Wenfeng praised: "Great! Rock music is about constantly trying new things. Adding folk music makes it more Chinese. I support it."

Wang Qian: "Haha, thank you Brother Feng, don't forget to give me a high score later."

Cui Wenfeng said seriously: "It depends on your performance!"

After a while.

Wang Qian took the band members to the stage again, took the microphone to get a feel for it, and then quickly left the stage.

The other contestants also hurriedly walked around the stage again to make final rehearsal preparations.

Then……

The stage was quickly cleared.

The program group immediately started the live broadcast. The live broadcast signal had been sent out. TV stations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang across the country began to show live broadcast images, showing the final preparations of the program group. Many viewers said they enjoyed watching these!

Four mentors are in place.

Thousands of spectators entered the venue and took their seats.

Wang Qian led the band into his own exclusive lounge.

Wang Qian's band had the most members, more than a dozen, attracting the attention of all the other contestants and the four mentors! Wang Jingyu jokingly said, "Wang Qian, why did you bring so many people to fight this time?"

Wang Qian didn't reply, just waved to Wang Jingyu and left.

Wang Jingyu asked Cui Wenfeng, "Old Cui, what tricks will Wang Qian play this time? I can't wait to see his performance. Otherwise, let Wang Qian go on stage first."

Cui Wenfeng sat in the chair calmly: "Go ask Director Zhou."

Wang Jingyu looked at Zhou Qinghua who was directing the whole scene and shook her head: "Forget it!"

It was necessary for Wang Qian to be the finale, and the audience was most looking forward to his performance.

Only in this way can the program's ratings achieve a breakthrough.

With higher ratings, the four mentors and all the contestants can gain more.

Qin Han said softly, "Old Liu and I are just runners-up this time. It is said that the final champion will be between Wang Qian and Chen Xiaowen under your two banners."

Liu Junhua: "I won't say anything!"

The four mentors joked with each other.

…

Yang Yilong also took four senior musicians into the lounge to make final adjustments and rest.

Gao Feng had just been humiliated by Wang Qian and felt that Wang Qian was deliberately embarrassing him. He was a little angry and asked Yang Yilong, "Yilong, how are your preparations going? Do you have confidence?"

In front of the four senior musicians, Yang Yilong behaved very modestly and did not dare to be too ostentatious. He just said confidently: "With the cooperation of the four seniors, I am definitely confident."

Gao Feng smiled and said, "That's good. After we eliminate Wang Qian, I'll go ask him if he knows me!"

Huang Zhongsheng sat in the corner at the edge without saying a word. He just held his bass and stroked it gently, watching the TV screen in the TV lounge. He was not optimistic about Wang Qian being eliminated.

Liu Jiale said, "This kid brought quite a few people this time. I don't know what he's going to do."

Li Wenhui said with a hint of disdain: "Young people nowadays just like to do something fancy. Rock is rock, and if they insist on adding some messy things to it, is it still rock?"

Yang Yilong didn't continue talking, but there was some worry in his eyes!

He didn't tell everyone that when he said he was confident, he meant he was confident that he could perform normally.

Instead of having the confidence to eliminate Wang Qian!

He himself really liked Wang Qian's last performance of "Shame" and felt amazed by the song.

At the same time, we are also looking forward to Wang Qian's performance in this show.

in this way.

How could he have the confidence to eliminate Wang Qian?

Guo Xiao performed so well last time, but was eliminated in the end with a song that made him feel ashamed! Is Guo Xiao weak? No one thinks so.

Because, Guo Xiao's new song, which was eliminated by Wang Qian, received more than 20 million downloads on Tengfei last month. It is the best-performing new rock song in recent years, except for Wang Qian's.

This proves that Guo Xiao's performance at that time was also perfect.

However, he was still eliminated.

Therefore, this further proves Wang Qian’s strength.

Even so, Wang Qian's "Shame on Me" has not received as many downloads as Guo Xiao's song on Qianqian Jingting.

However, no one would think that "Shameful to Face" is not as good as Guo Xiao's song!

It’s just because many people are still unwilling to register an account and recharge on a new platform just for a song. It’s not worth it.

But even so, Wutaizixiang has accumulated 20 million downloads and almost single-handedly brought tens of millions of paying users to Qianqian Jingting.

Very scary! Yang Yilong didn't have much confidence at all! Buzz buzz buzz! The phone rang, Yang Yilong saw that it was his agent calling, and answered: "Brother Li."

The agent quickly asked: "The show has started, are you confident that Wang Qian will be eliminated?"

Yang Yilong told the truth: "Lack of confidence!"

The agent sighed, "It's okay, just show your strength. If you can eliminate Wang Qian, that would be great, the company will directly give you a top second-tier contract. If you are eliminated by Wang Qian, as long as you perform well enough, I can also get you an ordinary second-tier contract so that you can debut smoothly."

Yang Yilong said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Li!"

Agent: "This is what I should do. Come on, do your best. The company has paid a lot for you this time. Try to bring some rewards to the company."

A good song, plus the appearance fees of four rock veterans, cost millions in total!

Just to snipe Wang Qian, all the efforts were directed at a newcomer.

Yang Yilong felt quite pressured and promised: "I will try my best!"

No matter what, he will try his best.

What if Wang Qian just didn't perform well this time? What if Wang Qian's new song was not popular? What if I won? Yang Yilong's eyes gradually burned with confidence.

You still have to have dreams.

…

The show has begun.

As usual, the first group to appear were two contestants under Qin Han. Both of them performed mediocrely and scored relatively low, with an average score of just over 70. The on-site reaction was also average.

The second group is Chen Xiaowen's Lin Bing and her opponent.

Both of them are very strong.

Lin Bing was more prepared and sang a new song that was slightly surprising. He received a professional high score of over 80 points on average, while his opponent only received 75 points! When Lin Bing left the stage, he was smiling.

Based on the audience reaction, she felt she had secured victory.

The third group of players are Liu Junhua’s team members.

What surprised everyone, even Liu Junhua, was that this time his two team members sang new songs instead of difficult and popular classic old songs.

Moreover, both new songs are surprisingly above the standard.

The two of them scored the same 78 points, which is the first time there was a tie in this season of The Voice of China.

There was warm applause at the scene, expressing recognition of the two people's breakthrough innovations.

Wang Jingyu praised: "Lao Liu, these two contestants are such a surprise, keep it up!"

finally!

To the end.

Cui Wenfeng's players are about to appear on stage.

Zhou Qinghua asked the station staff: "What are the current ratings data?"

The staff member immediately replied, "The latest real-time data came from there. It was 2 o'clock when the show started, and it has been rising all the time. It just passed 5. Everyone is most looking forward to Wang Qian's performance, so it has now quickly climbed to 6 o'clock, and may even break 7 points later."

Zhou Qinghua grinned.

The previous thoughts came back to me again.

It would be great if Wang Qian performed in every episode.

On stage.

Yang Yilong, here we go.

Sorry for being a little late! 　　Thank you for your support, it's a pleasant surprise. Thank you very much.
