Jia Yi said nothing more, then followed up with another sentence:
"Although both highbrow and lowbrow are necessary, since we have chosen to enter the lower-tier markets, we should not always act pretentiously."
The host asked: "Teacher Jia, what does the sinking market mean?"
"The lower-tier markets are those below the third-tier cities. Listen to songs like 'Learn to Meow' and 'Azhen Falls in Love with Aqiang' – don't they really suit the tastes of young people in small towns?" Jia Yi said. "So I say, if you're going to focus on lower-tier markets, focus on lower-tier markets. If you're going to be earthy, be earthy. But if you're brainwashing the singer into thinking she can't sing, then that's outrageous."
The host looked at Jin Lan who looked innocent and couldn't help but nodded.
Words like brainwashing and PUA can easily provoke a woman's nerves and make her empathize.
After Jia Yi was eliminated, he let himself go a bit. Whenever he was in public, he would criticize Chen Liang.
What's more, Chen Liang was not around, so Jia Yi couldn't even refute him, so he enjoyed stabbing him in the back.
Most of the audience were there to watch the fun, and some new audiences only heard Jia Yi's one-sided story. Most of them were filled with righteous indignation and began to criticize the unscrupulous lyricist and composer.
"So, Jin Lan really did offend the composer? How could this be..."
"Didn't you hear? It's not that we offended the composer, it's that the composer's song was too tacky, so Jin Lan took the blame."
"Oh my god, who is that songwriter?"
"Jin Lan's partner in the previous matches was Chen Liang. However, what Jia Yi said is not comprehensive."
"I wasn't really interested before and just took a few casual glances. I didn't expect there was such a hidden secret here. It's really shocking."
…
The host wanted to ask Jia Yi about his attitude, but Jia Yi just shook his head, acting like a master and refusing to say more.
Guo Xiaoran suddenly said, "I actually understand Jia Yi's feelings. He's not angry about losing his song, he's standing up for Jin Lan."
The host quickly turned his attention to him.
Guo Xiaoran continued, "Do you know? In the previous rounds of competition, Jin Lan's songs ranked very high, higher than ours."
The host said, "Really? It seems that our Jinlan's strength is beyond doubt."
"That's not the case," Guo Xiaoran shook his head. "Our Lu Chujiu is not bad either. And there's also Yun Shang'er. The song 'Ah Zhen Falls in Love with A Qiang' even ranked higher than Yun Shang'er."
The host stared: "Really?"
"Can you imagine?" Guo Xiaoran said with a smile, "You study hard for years, learning music theory and delving into composition, and then something comes up and knocks you down. And when you hear that thing, you're like, what the hell? Do you know what that feels like?"
The host's expression turned serious: "It's really hard to accept."
"I'm not just unwilling to accept it, I just feel that music shouldn't be like this," said Guo Xiaoran.
"Meow meow meow meow, is it difficult to write? I can write, I can write a lot, but if I can become famous by writing this, then all the songs in the music industry will be meow meow meow. I don't like it."
The host showed a solemn expression and nodded heavily.
"This will definitely change the whole trend of the music industry."
"The main thing is that it makes you question your life," Guo Xiaoran said. "I used to wonder, is it enough for the songs to be popular? I don't have to worry about anything else. Then I could just write catchy songs. It would be easier than it is now."
The host nodded continuously.
"But this time, Jinlan's sudden popularity on the Internet has given me back my confidence," Guo Xiaoran said with a smile, "The public's eyes are still sharp."
The host frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Look," Guo Xiaoran said, "Jin Lan didn't become famous because of those catchy songs. This shows that she could have become famous on her own without those songs."
"Oh!" The host understood what he meant and became excited.
Guo Xiaoran said: "A catchy song can be popular for a while or in a certain place, but it may not be popular all over the world."
The host smiled and said, "Yes, especially in a country like Japan where music is so prevalent, foreigners' musical literacy is still much higher."
Guo Xiaoran was a little too proud of himself, and didn't realize what was wrong with his words, so he continued:
"So I'm really grateful that Jinlan has become so popular this time. It shows that writing good songs is still useful."
Jia Yi nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean. What's the point of becoming famous in China just by singing catchy songs? It's only meaningful if you become famous abroad and engage in cultural exports!"
At this point, the two of them sympathized with each other and reached a complete consensus. Many viewers were persuaded and expressed their agreement in the comments.
"Yeah, there are just too many brainless people in China. They listen to whatever's popular and have no musicality at all. That's why the music is so bad."
"If that kind of catchy song became popular overseas, I would be too embarrassed to admit it. It would be too embarrassing."
"If we want to export our culture, we still have to rely on quality products. Unfortunately, the domestic music scene is too impetuous, making it difficult for such music to emerge."
"Haha, are the kneeling tribe in front of you addicted to reflection? A JX hasn't made you stand up yet?"
"No matter how great JX is, there are still clichés like 'Learn to Meow' in China! This shows that the overall strength is still not good enough. Even if he is great, he can't boost the entire music scene."
…
On the other side of the live broadcast screen, Xiao Qing was gritting his teeth in anger.
The most hateful thing is that what Guo Xiaoran said sounds quite reasonable on the surface - if you don't look at what he and Jia Yi did.
It's as if writing a catchy song is a rebellious act. Is it a big deal if it becomes popular on YouTube? There are even more catchy songs that are popular abroad! Even more stupid!
