The official Weibo account of "Who is the King of Singers" successfully sparked public outrage, and this preview video was made popular by fans using emoticons. The top three emoticons perfectly expressed everyone's feelings, namely: Are you happy about this?jpg, Dirty words.jpg, and Hurry up.jpg.
When Xie Yang posted on Weibo after receiving the news, his fans, who had just scolded the official Weibo account, were heatedly discussing the content of the preview video. Many of them were worried that this newcomer with "poor high notes" would make "A Sword Peaces the Spring and Autumn" into something weird, or that he would not be able to keep up with Ji Zehui's rhythm and sing this classic song well.
Ji Zehui probably also noticed this trend and quickly sent a WeChat message to explain: This is not the trend in the press release I asked someone to send out, it is completely what the fans of the show think.
Xie Yang typed back and asked: If you hadn’t brainwashed people with the “objective review” article you asked someone to post, would people think this way?
Ji Zehui felt guilty and took a while to reply: We have decided to cooperate, why do you always care about the past... Young people should not hold grudges like this, and I have asked someone to delete the article.
Xie Yang: I don’t hold grudges, I’m just simply stingy. But it doesn’t matter. Now I’m the one being scolded. After the show is broadcast, it will be your turn to be scolded, Senior Ji. I hope that by then Senior Ji, who is no longer so young, will be able to generously forgive those who scold you and question you, and not hold grudges.
Ji Zehui didn't reply to the message, he must have been pissed off.
Although they dislike each other, business must go on.
After the quarrel, the two of them went on Weibo to follow each other, and then reposted the preview video released by the "Who is the King of Singers" program team, each with their own captions, and politely tagged the other, creating an illusion of harmony and love to the outside world.
Afterwards, Xiao Jin's internet trolls came out and started hyping up the love between Ji Zehui and Jie Yang, who were "senior-junior lovers" who "hit it off at first sight".
Ji Zehui sent another WeChat message: Why don’t you come and comment on my Weibo!
Xie Yang: I allow you to reorganize your language.
Ji Zehui was quiet for a long time, and finally sent another message.
Ji Zehui: Don’t be so arrogant.
Xie Yang: Don’t be too arrogant.
Ji Zehui didn’t reply to the message again.
Jie Yang closed WeChat, reopened Weibo, and followed the official Weibo of "Who is the King of Singers". After refreshing the page, he unexpectedly found that the old singer Zeng Min followed him, so he quickly followed back.
After dealing with the Weibo issue, Xie Yang began to seriously consider hiring a new agent.
Hu Biao himself has limited abilities, and he has to take care of three other people at once, so he simply cannot take care of things on his side. And as he develops in the entertainment industry, the trivial matters that he needs to deal with will only increase, and he cannot do them all by himself.
But where can I find a good agent?
The phone suddenly vibrated and a new WeChat message came in.
Xie Yang picked up his phone and opened it.
Qiu Xing: Go take a shower and go to bed.
Xie Yang raised his eyebrows and sent an emoticon package he just received from Weibo: Let us fight until dawn.jpg
Qiu Xing did not reply to the message. Five minutes later, the nanny knocked on Li Yang's door with a cup of loving milk in her hand. The nanny said with concern, "The boss said you have insomnia. Is it serious? Try drinking a glass of milk first. If it doesn't work, I have other remedies to help you sleep."
"…The milk is enough, thank you auntie."
Xie Yang took the milk, closed the door, glanced at the floor under his feet, and drank the milk.
The next morning, "Who is the King of Singers" released the second version of the trailer, which was about the song selection process of veteran singer Zeng Min.
The fans who had been waiting for "A Sword to Conquer the Spring and Autumn Period" all night almost died on the spot due to lack of breath.
Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth preview videos were released one after another. Together with yesterday’s one, there were six videos in total, belonging to the six official guests, which was a very fair distribution.
The fans completely lost their temper and resigned themselves to the fact that they had heard the adapted version of “One Sword Flatters the Spring and Autumn” before the show started, and were waiting intently for the show to start.
At 8 o'clock on the weekend evening, the new episode of "Who is the King of Singers" finally aired amid the anticipation of countless fans. Xie Yang sat in the living room watching TV and took out his cell phone to call Qiu Xing.
He Jun answered the phone.
"Isn't your revenge yet?"
"The boss is in a meeting, and it will probably take another half an hour. Little Boss, do you have anything to say to the boss? Do you need me to convey it to you?"
Xie Yang said no, and after hanging up the phone, he glanced at the TV screen where the program titled "Who is the King of Singers" had already finished playing, and pulled a pillow into his arms.
The host on TV came on stage and began to speak his opening words.
Xie Yang suddenly threw away the pillow and stood up, grabbed a bunch of snacks from the kitchen, sat back and ate while watching and browsing his phone.
Ten minutes after the show aired, there was no movement on Weibo.
Fifteen minutes into the show, topics discussing Nagarjuna's appearance and the draw results appeared on Weibo, and some fashion marketing accounts were commenting on the various guests' looks today.
Twenty minutes into the show, the topic #Zeng Min failed to break through# fell to the bottom of the hot searches on Weibo.
…
Finally, at the 75th minute of the show, the first five guests had finished singing, and the host came on stage to announce the song to be sung by the last group of guests - "Raging Waves".
Fans who had always thought that Ji Zehui and Jie Yang would sing "One Sword Flatters the Spring and Autumn Period" were stunned on the spot and posted black question mark face emoticons under the first trailer video.
At the 76th minute of the show, before Jie Yang and Ji Zehui officially began singing, the program team followed the program process and cut into a video of Jie Yang and Ji Zehui preparing for song selection and arrangement.
Xie Yang put down his phone and focused on watching TV.
The video is only five minutes long, and on average one and a half minutes represents a day’s preparation.
In the first minute and a half, Ji Zehui and Jie Yang set out from home and company respectively. When the two sides met, Ji Zehui proposed to sing "Raging Waves", and Jie Yang agreed. After Xie Yang became familiar with the song, Ji Zehui asked Xie Yang to sing "iud" a cappella. Xie Yang agreed again and sang it a cappella. Only two or three sentences of the a cappella part were broadcast here. Then the two of them had lunch together. During lunch, Ji Zehui said that he wanted to change the song because he felt that "Raging Waves" was not suitable for Jie Yang's voice. Xie Yang had no objection, and the two finally decided to act separately, one looking for new songs, and the other trying to change "Raging Waves".
In the second minute and a half, a new day comes, and Ji Zehui says that he has chosen a new song, which is "A Sword to Peace the Spring and Autumn Period". Jie Yang suggests singing the adapted version of "Raging Waves" to Ji Zehui first to see how it works, and Ji Zehui agrees. Xie Yang sang, but only one or two sentences of the song were broadcast here. After the performance, Ji Zehui said that he still wanted to change the song, and Jie Yang agreed. The two began to adapt "One Sword to Peace the Spring and Autumn Period", but the progress was not ideal. At the end of the day, Xie Yang expressed his desire to try to adapt "A Sword to Conquer the Spring and Autumn Period" himself, and Ji Zehui agreed.
In the third one and a half minutes, Xie Yang adapted "One Sword to Peace the Spring and Autumn" overnight and wanted Ji Zehui to hear the effect. Ji Zehui agreed and Jie Yang sang. Here the production team finally stopped making annoying gestures and after fast-forwarding a chorus, they played the first rap sung by Jie Yang in its entirety. After listening to Jie Yang's arrangement, Ji Zehui left the practice room on the pretext of making a phone call. When he came back, he said he would still sing "Raging Waves". Jie Yang agreed and began to write the adapted score.
In the last half minute, the two went to work with the band teacher.
The video ends, the screen switches back to the stage, and the concert officially begins.
Xie Yang blinked slowly and almost laughed.
What's going on? Why didn't the production team of "Who is the King of Singers" help Ji Zehui cover up at all? Instead, they edited the show tightly and exposed all the difficult things Ji Zehui did?
Did Nagarjuna ask the production team to do this?
The sound of a door opening and a cell phone ringing suddenly rang out at the same time. Jie Yang came back to his senses, grabbed the phone on the coffee table, and saw that it was Ji Zehui calling. He hung up and muted the phone, then turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
Qiu Xing walked in with the coolness of the late autumn night all over his body. He raised his eyes and looked at Jie Yang, saying, "What are you looking at? You look like a mouse." After saying that, he walked closer to the sofa and naturally sat down on the single sofa next to Jie Yang, and turned his eyes to the TV.
Xie Yang followed Qiu Xing's gaze to see himself singing on TV, then looked at the shoes on Qiu Xing's feet, which he didn't know whether he forgot or hadn't changed for some other reason. He slowly leaned back on the sofa without saying a word.
A few minutes later, the singing ended and Qiu Xing stood up.
Xie Yang asked, "How did I sing?"
Qiu Xing took off his coat and threw it into Jie Yang's arms, saying, "It's okay." After that, he took off his tie and threw it on the sofa, then went to the restaurant in the back.
Xie Yang took the coat, raised an eyebrow, put it down, stood up and followed him, and asked, "Why are you suddenly so busy today?"
"Something went wrong with the branch in Country M." Qiu Xing poured himself a glass of water, took two sips and put it down again, looking back at Jie Yang, "Accompany me to see Qinglin tomorrow."
"He contacted you again?"
"He said he was ill."
The smile on Xie Yang's face disappeared.
Being sick is what Qiu Xing cares about the most. This rubbish nephew really knows how to pinch people's soft spots.
Qiu Xing noticed Xie Yang's expression, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Are you angry?"
Xie Yang had a blank expression on his face: "Can't be angry?"
"Okay." Qiu Xing took a step forward, took off a piece of snack crumbs that were stuck on Jie Yang's body, and threw it into the trash can. "Go to bed early tonight. We will go early and come back early tomorrow."
After Qiu Xing went upstairs, Xie Yang thought about the male protagonist for a while, and then called Ji Zehui back.
Ji Zehui answered immediately, his tone was angry and a little frustrated: "Finally you are willing to contact me. Did you ask the production team to do the editing of the show just now? Why did they edit it like that! "
"Didn't they edit it like that because they were mad at you for forcing them to stop recording with a black face?"
Ji Zehui was silent for a second, then he softened his tone and said, "I was just anxious for a moment. Now there's a commotion on Weibo. How are you going to help me with the PR?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The webcast version hasn't come out yet. Let's take a look at its contents first." Xie Yang answered and hung up the phone.
At 10:30 in the evening, the online version of "Who is the King of Singers" was exclusively launched on the video playback website of B City TV Station. Countless viewers who were amazed by "Raging Waves", stunned by Ji Zehui's song change, attracted by the a cappella version of "IUD", and whetted their appetite with the adapted version of "One Sword to Peace the Spring and Autumn" all rushed in and directly clicked on the parts of Jie Yang and Ji Zehui to start watching.
The video is still edited, but it is much more complete. The three songs that Xie Yang sang during the preparation time have all become complete versions. The scenes of Xie Yang and Ji Zehui going out on the first day have also become more numerous and longer. There are more shots of Xie Yang sitting in the corner of the practice room listening to songs and turning over music scores. The scenes of Ji Zehui frequently leaving the practice room and leaving Xie Yang alone in the practice room, which did not appear at all in the TV broadcast version, have all been released.
The webcast version lasts a total of three hours, with each guest spending an average of half an hour. But just over ten minutes after the online broadcast version was launched, Weibo exploded with comments.
A musician who once spoke up for Jie Yang was so angry that he posted two long Weibo posts.
Lao Wen with a sharp ear: Why did you delete the article, Music World? Didn’t you say before that Xie Yang is not good at high notes and has a narrow vocal range? What do you think of tonight’s "Raging Waves"? And Ji Zehui, what are you doing? Listen to your singing tonight. I used to like you, but what are you singing? And the thing about you changing the song and then changing it back again, Jie Yang performed very well whether it was the a cappella "IUD" or the self-playing and singing "Raging Waves". Is there something wrong with your ears that you think Jie Yang's voice is not suitable for "Raging Waves"? And I don’t quite understand the last rating. How come "Raging Waves" is not number one? Did the grader's ears get damaged too?
Lao Wen, who has a very picky ear: I watched the online broadcast version carefully again, and I am convinced. Between you, Ji Zehui, and Jie Yang, who is the official guest and who is the guest singer? Why is Jie Yang doing everything? "Breaking the Cocoon" is obviously so good, Ji Zehui, how come your singing skills and character have deteriorated to this extent? Or are you really like what those rumors say, that you have become arrogant in the past two years, no longer take your voice seriously, and your singing skills have regressed, so that now you can only be a studio singer? But your performance in the last episode of “Who is the King of Singers” was obviously not bad. Did the program crew edit your voice?
As soon as this Weibo post was released, it immediately received responses from countless viewers who shared the same feelings. Ji Zehui and the program team were instantly put at the center of public attention.
