Chapter 113 Recording "I'm the King of Singers" (Two in One)
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it is the day for recording "I Am the King of Singers II: The Year of the Fight".
The promotional effect of this program far exceeded that of "The Birth of a Group". Every participating singer brought their own traffic. As soon as they posted a promotional Weibo, the program's hot searches were all over the hot search list, without much effort.
The seven competing singers and three surprise singers all arrived at the hotel arranged by the program team in advance.
Lin Zhixing had some urgent matters to deal with, so he did not rush there. Instead, he boarded a plane to Shanghai in the early morning of the recording day.
As assistants of Good Luck Studio, Dong Chen and Ji Yu also joined the trip.
On the plane.
Song Ge sat by the window. It was her first time on a plane. After takeoff, she looked out the window, feeling both curious and a little scared.
"Xiao Dong, please research it online, and then we can rent a car."
Lin Zhixing patted Dong Chen who was sitting in the front seat and said, "It's convenient to go anywhere if you rent a car. Let's just treat this trip as an outing, go shopping and eat."
"Brother Lin, you have to be confident! Don't always have the mentality of being eliminated in the first round. Should we rent a Mercedes or a BMW?"
Lin Zhixing glanced at Dong Chen, who was grinning crookedly, and said, "Baojun is good. The cheaper the better, as long as it can be used as a means of transportation."
"Support! We should save money and spend money!"
After Ji Yu agreed, he turned around and asked Song Ge who was looking out the window, "Gege, are you nervous about flying for the first time?"
“A little.”
Song Ge touched the seat belt and nodded with a smile.
Ji Yu shrugged his shoulders and sighed softly, "It's not my first time to sit here, but I get nervous every time. If it weren't for the tight schedule, I really wouldn't want to sit here."
When she turned her head, Lin Zhixing glanced at Song Ge's fair little hand holding the seat belt, and slowly reached out his hand to cover it.
Song Ge saw his hand reaching out slowly, and when he touched the back of his hand, he looked up at him in surprise.
"Still nervous?"
Lin Zhixing asked with a chuckle.
Song Ge raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and after a moment of silence, he nodded heavily.
"oh."
Lin Zhixing thought about it for a while, then pulled her hand over and held it tightly in his palm, "What about this?"
Feeling the warmth in my palms...
Two shallow dimples appeared on Song Ge's blushing cheeks. She moved the fingers of her clenched hands and inserted each finger through the gaps between them.
Then she smiled a little smugly and whispered something in his ear.
“I’m not nervous this time!”
"Okay, I'll let you lead me along the way."
Lin Zhixing said with a grin, then he clenched his hands, leaned back in the chair comfortably and closed his eyes to rest.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the song "Hello World".
When it comes to martial arts, there is always a mountain higher than the other. Martial arts are just like fame and fortune today. When you reach a new height, a new mountain will stand in front of you.
All the fame and fortune that we pursue throughout our lives will ultimately be in vain.
True love is as high as the sky, surpassing those mountains of fame and fortune, and is better in a thousand ways.
The best thing in the world is always "you".
Thinking of this, Lin Zhixing was touched by the song, which was worthy of being written by Mr. Huang Zhan.
Martial arts is just the surface, this turns out to be a "love song"!
…
…
After a two-hour journey, Lin Zhixing and his group arrived at the Shanghai airport. They also had a good breakfast on the plane.
With the popularity of the album "Jinghong", Dong Chen and Ji Yu also became a little famous, and the two-person mask team became a four-person mask team.
Lin Zhixing, who was walking in front dragging a suitcase, turned around and asked, "Have you sorted out the car rental?"
Dong Chen nodded, "It's done, let's go to the car rental place first, and then drive to the hotel."
"good."
…
The four of them took a taxi to the car rental point first.
Dong Chen rented a manual transmission Santana, which looked at least ten years old, and followed the advice of "save where you should save and spend where you should spend".
"Brother Lin, come up!"
Dong Chen sat in the driver's seat and waved to Lin Zhixing who had put his luggage away.
As soon as Lin Zhixing got into the car, he heard Dong Chen muttering beside him, "How do you coordinate the clutch and accelerator to start the car? Clutch first or accelerator first?"
“…”
Lin Zhixing tensed up after hearing this, "Both feet are taking screenshots of the car at the same time."
"Hahaha!"
Ji Yu, who was sitting in the back seat, laughed like crazy. She looked up and slapped her boyfriend, "Get out of here, let Brother Lin drive!"
"Okay."
Dong Chen rubbed the back of his head, opened the door and went to the passenger seat.
Lin Zhixing searched the hotel map, put his phone on the holder, and started the car.
He was very emotional while driving.
This is the first time I’ve driven a car after traveling through time. To complete the feat of four people traveling through time, I’m currently short of a song from “Interstellar” and a dump truck to meet my sales goals.
…
There was a bit of traffic jam in the big city, and it took the four of them more than half an hour to drive to the hotel arranged by the program crew.
I had contacted the production team beforehand, and they arranged a large two-bedroom suite for me, which was very luxurious.
Just as I finished packing my luggage, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Zhixing went to open the door and took a look at the clothes worn by the person, revealing that he was a staff member of the program crew.
"Hello Fengqi Wutong, Director Hong wants to meet you."
"Oh, okay, now?"
"Yes."
Lin Zhixing nodded, immediately called Song Ge, and followed the staff member into a room.
"Hello, Director Hong!"
"Director Ji, why are you here too?"
Next to the shiny bald director Hong Bo, Ji Lei was waving and smiling, which surprised Lin Zhixing and Song Ge.
"I am now the assistant director of "I Am the King of Singers". Is that a surprise?"
Ji Lei pointed at the two people and introduced them proudly: "Old Hong, this is the Fengqi Wutong that I often praise. How do you think it is?"
"marvelous"
Hong Bo smiled and gave a thumbs up, "What a perfect match! Don't stand, sit down."
"You two are my most promising newcomers this year!"
After they sat down, Hong Bo didn't exchange too many pleasantries, but went straight to the point, "Our program "I Am the King of Singers" has always been about old, middle-aged and young singers competing on the same stage, so we invited you to participate. Do you know anything about this program?"
Lin Zhixing gave a thumbs up and nodded, "Yes, this show is so famous that it's all over the trending searches on Weibo."
"Since you are familiar with this program, I will keep it short."
Hong Bo adjusted his glasses and said bluntly, "There are two main reasons why I called you here. I need to record a short interview video at 2pm, and the seven singers competing in the competition need to meet at 2:30pm."
"There is one more thing. In order to make the broadcast effect better, we need to see some feedback from other singers while they are singing. Especially for young singers like you, you need to be a little more exaggerated."
Many music variety shows on Earth require acting skills. The variety show with the best acting skills is generally recognized as "The Voice", and the worst is "A Masked Music Show".
Although they knew who the guest was, they still frantically eliminated wrong answers for the sake of the show's effect, which was quite hilarious.
Lin Zhixing was not surprised at all that Hong Bo assigned this task to him, but Song Ge beside him was a little worried because she was not good at these things.
Lin Zhixing smiled and made an OK gesture, "No problem, it's just like a crosstalk supporting role!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Hong Bo nodded with satisfaction.
After chatting for a while and saying goodbye to Hongbo, Ji Lei personally sent the two of them out and whispered to encourage them: "Keep up the good work, no one is optimistic about you, fight for our show!"
"Don't worry."
Lin Zhixing patted his chest confidently.
In fact, I had no confidence at all. My opponents were too strong. It was hard to imagine that I could successfully advance. I could only say...
"I promise not to cry if I lose, okay?"
…
…
After returning to the room, Lin Zhixing thought about it again and again and posted a Weibo.
[There are mountains higher than the other, look up! ] The accompanying picture is a picture of a person looking up at the mountains.
The reason I posted this on Weibo was, firstly, to coordinate with the song "Hello, World" that I will be singing tonight, and secondly, to find a way out for myself.
Compare your opponents to mountains and humbly say that you are at the bottom of the mountain, so that losing won't be too embarrassing.
After this Weibo post was released, fans burst into laughter.
"Oh yeah, put it on, this isn't your style!"
"Hahaha, I get it, the King of Force is scared!"
"I understand. After all, this is a cross-level fight. Just do your best. We will always support you!"
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge went to meet the filming crew and the music teacher, and learned that the song they were to sing was a song with "chivalrous" elements.
During the filming process, the director specially found a very popular martial arts novel for Lin Zhixing. The first shot was Lin Zhixing sitting on a chair and reading the novel.
After going through the whole process, Lin Zhixing was particularly impressed that this pilot film provided a very reasonable explanation for the song he was about to sing.
…
2:20 pm.
Lin Zhixing and Song Ge arrived at the singer meeting room arranged by the program team in advance. The reason why Hong Bo made such an arrangement was to let the singers say hello before the game. There were no filming staff in the room.
Lin Zhixing arrived ten minutes early because he thought that since he had the least experience, he should say hello to his seniors.
Unexpectedly, I saw a familiar face as soon as I entered the room.
The girl with long wavy hair and a white pleated skirt is the sweet-looking Zhao Weiwei, who is chatting with her partner at the moment.
Her partner is Yu Jiang, who is tall and handsome in a black suit, with a slicked-back hair.
The two-person duo "Cool Meow" is very famous among music duos and has many songs that are popular with the public.
"Xiao Lin! Xiao Song!"
After the door opened, Zhao Weiwei recognized Lin Zhixing and Song Ge at a glance, and immediately stood up with a smile to greet them and say hello to the two of them.
"Sister Weiwei!"
This is the mentor who always gave them first-class evaluation in "The Birth of a Group". Lin Zhixing and Song Ge are very grateful to her. It feels like meeting a relative.
"I never thought that one day you two would become my rivals."
Zhao Weiwei smiled and gave a thumbs up, then introduced her partner, "My partner is Yu Jiang, you can just call him Brother Yu!"
"Brother Yu! I've heard of you a long time ago. You are my role model!"
Yu Jiang smiled and waved his hands, "Thank you for the compliment. Please take a seat, little brother!"
The four people had just chatted for a few words when the door opened again and a handsome man in a bright blue suit and a crew cut walked in.
"Old Pan!"
Yu Jiang smiled and waved his hand.
Old Pan?
Lin Zhixing looked at him carefully and decided that this person should be Pan Shuai, a rapper from Taicheng who was known as the "fastest rapper".
This name, coupled with the element of rap, reminded him of "Pan Weibo", a rapper in his previous life who was as popular as Jay Chou in his peak period. Because of his handsome looks, his fans nicknamed him "Pan Shuai".
I had heard Lin Zhixing's rap before the competition, and he was indeed very powerful and a formidable opponent.
From listening to Yu Jiang and Pan Shuai chatting, I learned that they met at an award ceremony, but it can be seen that they are not too familiar with each other, just know each other.
"Come, let me introduce you two!"
Yu Jiang introduced with a smile: "Pan Shuai, you two can just call him Brother Pan, they are Feng Qi Wu Tong."
"Brother Pan!"
"Wow, you are Feng Qi Wu Tong?"
After shaking hands, Pan Shuai stared at Lin Zhixing and asked with a smile: "You are Brother Oh Ye, right? I really like your song "Mountain and River Map"!"
"Don't worry, just call me Xiaolin."
Lin Zhixing smiled and waved his hand, feeling very happy. He didn't expect that he knew his nickname and songs.
Chatted for a while.
Lin Zhixing's butt just touched the chair.
【bite!】
[The system task has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Happy Worship". ]
The system prompt sounded in my mind, and all my memories of the song were brought back.
The like task is completed? The song "Happy Worship" is sung by singers Pan Weibo and Angela Zhang. The original song is "Come on" by the Korean band Turtle, which is also in the style of Hip-Hop. Later, after the song was purchased, the famous lyricist "Lin Xi" wrote the lyrics for this song.
In that era, it was very common to buy copyrights and sing cover songs. There were relatively few people who changed Korean songs, but the Hong Kong music scene was the most active in changing Japanese songs. The Four Heavenly Kings covered 79 songs in total.
There are too many of them, such as "Thousands of Songs", "A Woman Easily Hurt", "Moonlight Serenade", "Wandering on the Road of Life", and "The Wind Continues to Blow".
Some people say that Aunt Miyuki supports half of the Hong Kong music scene. In fact, this is an exaggeration. There are not that many songs, only about 60 or so.
The sad thing is that the music industry relied on the music of the island countries 50 years ago, and it still relies on them 50 years later. Some popular online songs such as "The Wind Rises", "Putting Memories Together for You" and "Promise Under the Cherry Blossom Trees" were also covered by the island countries.
This further highlights the greatness of Wong Ka Kui, Leehom Wang, and Jay Chou.
The song "Happy Worship" was very famous back then. Rapper Hot Dog once said in "The Rap of China" that this was the first rap song he had ever heard.
Similarly, this song was the first rap that most young people had ever heard in that era.
There is no need to say much about the greatness of this song. Even in 2023, this song still dominates the Chinese rap music scene.
When Lin Zhixing learned that he had won the song, he was so excited that his heart was pounding and his eyes were shining.
After coming to my senses.
Lin Zhixing glanced at Pan Shuai, a rapper from Taicheng, who was chatting next to him, pursed his lips, and murmured in his heart: "Brother Pan, you'd better expect me to be eliminated in the first round. If you compete with me in rap..."
"I'm afraid you'll have to live in my shadow."
