Chapter 144 The Shock of Joyful Worship (Three in One)
The day of the third competition of "I Am the King of Singers".
In the hotel's karaoke room.
"Love needs to be carefully carved"
"I am Michelangelo"
"Carve the happiest style with heart"
“It sounds good!!!”
Song Ge, who was sitting on the sofa listening to Dong Chen and Ji Yu singing, squinted her smiling eyes and clapped like a seal, "I think you sang this song very well!"
Ji Yu took a sip of water, moistened his throat and said, "Efforts will definitely be rewarded. We have practiced this song 100 to 200 times in the past two days. I feel like I can even sing it backwards!"
Song Ge gave a thumbs up and said, "Come on, the audience will definitely like you tonight."
Ji Yu smiled and nodded, and asked curiously: "Pigeon, how come you have time to come here to listen to music? Why don't you practice singing with Brother Lin?"
Song Ge chuckled and said, "I'm going to slack off tonight."
Dong Chen smiled secretly after hearing this.
In the past two episodes, some haters have been saying that Brother Lin is just slacking off. Looks like he has to prove himself tonight! …
…
In the hotel room.
A musician friend of Yu Jiang came to visit the studio. After learning the song he was going to sing tonight, he was a little surprised, "Are you sure you want to sing that song? Isn't it a little too early to bring it out now?"
"Sure."
Yu Jiang glanced at his depressed girlfriend and made up his mind to help her regain her confidence.
"It's too early to do anything. I thought that singing "Peking No. 81" in the last episode would bring back a wave of nostalgia on Weibo, but I didn't expect it to be ruined. Weibo is full of "No Makeup" and "Little Dimples". The ranking has also fallen behind. It's really embarrassing."
The musician friend nodded and said, "It was indeed an accident last time. It's okay to bring it out in advance to push the ranking up and save face."
…
…
Three hours before kick-off.
In the director's office.
"Director Hong, you're looking for me?"
"Xiao Lin, sit down quickly."
Hong Bo enthusiastically asked Lin Zhixing to take his seat. After a few pleasantries, he said, "Xiao Lin, you still have to be the host. Last time, Guo Jiahe insisted on doing it, but his hosting effect was far worse than yours."
Lin Zhixing was very touched by these two sentences. He saw that he could get out of this difficult situation and didn't mind the temporary replacement. "Sure, Director Hong."
Hong Bo smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, do your best tonight."
Lin Zhixing did not leave immediately. "Director Hong, I want to see something. Do you still have the copywriting cards that introduced the contestants last time?"
"Yes, I'll ask my assistant to give it to you."
Hong Bo thought that he needed some words for the presentation, so he made a phone call and asked his assistant to bring over the copywriting cue card.
"Thanks."
Lin Zhixing took the cue card, looked at the one introducing other contestants, then looked at the one introducing himself, and frowned.
Guo Jiahe's grandson really treats people differently.
Other contestants introduced themselves according to the words, but when it came to him, he omitted them all and just read out the name of the group.
I was still holding on to a glimmer of hope, thinking maybe it was because I had just debuted and there was nothing to introduce, so the program crew omitted it. It seems I was too naive.
Okay, okay, you wait for me tonight!
…
After leaving the office, Lin Zhixing took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo.
【Friends who like rap, come and listen to the music tonight! 】
He edited a Weibo post and posted it, not only to get his fans to read it, but also to let those rappers gain some insights.
Let's see what the king of rap in the millennium is that still makes people excited even after 20 years! ...
Ten minutes before kick-off.
Singer's waiting room.
After Hong Bo appeared, the familiar drawing session continued.
"Brother Lin, which number did you draw?"
"Here, let me see yours."
Yu Jiang looked at Lin Zhixing who was chatting and laughing with his friends, snorted coldly, and thought to himself: "You chose rap, you are lucky today!"
…
Eight o'clock in the evening.
With a gesture from the on-site director, the live broadcast of "I Am the King of Singers" officially began, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room instantly filled the screen.
"First, the sofa!"
"I'm here to listen to Oh Yeah's rap, Oh Yeah!"
"Plus one, I heard that Oh Ye Ge is going to challenge "The Rap King", I came to see if his rap skills have improved!"
…
The stage lights flickered, and amid enthusiastic applause, the host Lin Zhixing walked to the center of the stage and stood under the spotlight.
"Wow, my idol is the host again!"
"Hahaha, it seems that scolding the official Weibo account works!"
The audience applauded enthusiastically. Lin Zhixing didn't open his mouth for a long time. Only after the applause died down did he give an interesting opening speech.
When it came time to introduce the contestants, Lin Zhixing smiled devilishly and said, "The singer who opens the show is a handsome guy. It's not an exaggeration to describe him as a badass. He's both badass and good-looking. Please welcome Guo Jiahe to the stage to sing!"
Most of the audience members in the audience didn't react, but the netizens in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.
"I can describe it as a bad-tempered person. Hahahaha, it makes me laugh to death. What a mean mouth!"
“A simple little master, a handsome guy with a sense of atmosphere—Dafeng.”
"He looks like a puppy, but he's very capable - a real dog."
“People who think scientifically and rationally are extremely handsome.”
Netizens are learning from this and a wave of popular online memes are about to come.
After Lin Zhixing finished his introduction and walked back to the corridor, he bumped into Guo Jiahe who was also coming out.
When their eyes met, he felt that Guo Jiahe's gaze towards him seemed to be much kinder...
I like opponents with high IQ!
…
Guo Jiahe still chose the singing and dancing type that he is good at. As a popular singer, the disadvantage at the beginning was negligible for him, and his overall performance was very good.
"Thank you Guo Jiahe for your wonderful performance. The next contestant to perform is Feng Qi Wu Tong!"
Lin Zhixing did not introduce himself in detail. Praising himself once or twice would be enough. If he did it too much, it would be annoying.
【Happy Worship】
[Phoenix perches on the sycamore]
【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】
【Composition: Lin Zhixing】
【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】
The audience and judges looked at the three words "Lin Zhixing" on the song screen and were surprised at first, but later got used to it.
How can a songwriter who has so many songs to sing sing other people's songs?
"Happy worship?"
Huang Xiao, one of the special judges, picked up the pen as usual, full of expectations for this song.
Inside the surprise singer's compartment.
Among the three new surprise singers wearing masks, two of them had no idea about the surprise attack on Fengqi Wutong.
The remaining surprise singer wearing a tiger mask was staring at the screen with a fierce look in his eyes, his hands in fingerless leather gloves were stroking the challenge lever.
He is also a rapper. When he saw Lin Zhixing say on Weibo that he would sing rap tonight, he became very interested in challenging Lin Zhixing.
The song "Mountain and River Map" made singers in the rap circle notice him, and his fans praised him to no end. If he could successfully surprise him on this stage, he would become very popular.
However, to be on the safe side, he decided to listen first and launch a surprise attack when he was sure.
…
On the gorgeous stage.
Song Ge, wearing a slim-fitting denim outfit and a high ponytail that made her look younger, walked out of the aisle waving her hand, immediately causing screams from male fans.
The dynamic prelude slowly sounded, and the stage lights flickered with the music. The red light was like fire, the pink light was like clouds, and the yellow light was like lightning, which was dazzling.
【bite!】
[The system mission is now simple and will scare the rappers! A random song from Earth will be awarded upon mission completion.]
After attracting everyone's attention, Lin Zhixing tugged at the collar of his red jacket and stretched out his fingers.
“One Two Three Four”
"If you forgot your name, please follow me."
"Let Us Now Worship Joy"
"Please follow me if you have put down your burdens."
"Spread it and build a happy era"
Although Lin Zhixing and Song Ge both raised the microphone, Song Ge's chorus was very small, which made the audience realize from the beginning that their roles were just supporting roles.
The beginning of the song was very nice and eye-catching. As the audience expected, Lin Zhi walked in front of the camera and sang while waving his hands in a casual manner.
“Which era does happiness belong to?”
“70s, 80s, 90s or Generation Y”
“Open the history textbook”
“Even if you look carefully, you won’t find the answer.
“I can’t memorize it well.”
"Relax and let me talk"
"What kind of wind blows in what era?"
“I’m holding my microphone”
"Sing Old School Show Yall Ready To Roll"
Lin Zhixing's singing has a strong sense of rhythm and his speaking speed is fast while his pronunciation is clear.
…
Singers waiting room.
“Wow!”
After just listening to a short clip of rap, Pan Shuai felt his eyes brighten.
As a rapper, his rap is really different from other people's rap.
Recently, I was a mentor on "The Rap King", and I heard that most of the rap was diss and complaints about certain people or certain things.
He felt that this song was a breath of fresh air in the rap music scene.
Judges' seat.
Huang Xiao's pen couldn't keep up with Lin Zhixing's speaking speed. He put down the pen, closed his eyes and listened carefully.
…
“I’m most excited about the retro style of the 70s. “Disco Fever never says goodbye”
“You can only be cool if you play funk”
"Men and women, young and old, we all wear bell-bottom pants"
Lin Zhixing's singing is full of power and passion. Every word he sings seems to burst out from the depths of his heart. It is very contagious and can make the audience unable to help but sway with the rhythm.
"YO Afro is looking forward to spring breeze"
"Sway left and right, up and down, one finger magic"
"Black and white TV may not be able to feel it"
"But I believe you can find black humor."
Lin Zhixing shook his shoulders left and right, moved his fingers up and down, then shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips, as if he was dissing those rappers who like to give the middle finger.
So this is what “One Finger Magic” means!
Pan Shuai, who understood it, smiled. He liked the lyrics of this song more and more.
Inside the surprise singer's compartment.
"this……"
The surprise singer in the tiger mask slowly loosened his grip on the challenge lever.
The originally fierce gaze gradually became clear.
"Forget what you expect from your existence"
"Happiness will come if you invite it"
“It’s better to be wonderful together than to crave for care”
“Happiness is contagious, please come on generously”
Just like the vibrant denim outfit he is wearing, Song Ge's singing on stage is also full of vitality, injecting new soul into the song.
During the interlude, barrage of comments came like a tide.
"It sounds great, the two of them work so well together!"
"Before, I kept shaking my legs while listening to this song. I lost feeling in them. The doctor told me that if I continued to shake, my legs would have to be amputated. I put the earphones into the doctor's ears without saying anything. A year later, I got the bad news that the doctor had amputated his legs."
…
Off screen.
Xiao Zhao is a loyal fan of the show "I Am the King of Singers". She must watch every episode, and likes to watch the live broadcast and share the content of the show with her friends as soon as possible.
Her favorite type of song is ballad, and her favorite type is hip-hop rap.
Her impression of hip-hop songs is the rough voices of black singers, their snake-like dance steps and the obscene lyrics. They wear trendy brands and record music videos in a dark underground garage, with colorful lights shining on their faces, and everyone looks arrogant.
The thought of that scene made her feel sick.
"Happy worship?"
Although Xiao Zhao didn't dislike Feng Qi Wu Tong, his expectations were greatly reduced when he saw the barrage saying it was a rap song.
Looking at the colorful lights on the stage.
She shook her head and snorted, "In the past, rap relied on skills, but now it relies on electronic music and lighting?"
However, when the song started, she was gradually attracted.
Many rappers nowadays try to force the singing and rhyming of the songs, as if they are forcing the lyrics into their own unique rhythms, but they cannot express it as quickly and smoothly as in English, so it gives people a noisy feeling.
But Lin Zhixing on the stage is different. It is obvious that his singing voice and rhythm changes are very subtle, giving people a very comfortable feeling! The song is meaningful and has a joyful charm that makes people move. It can be regarded as a very high-quality hip-hop music.
Sounds good!!!
Xiao Zhao was moved by the song and typed a comment and sent it out.
"This song by Oh Ye Ge tonight changed my view on hip-hop songs. This song is awesome."
…
…
“In the 80s, what should we shout about? B Boys B Girls”
“Let’s Make Some Noise”
"What should I wear? Hmmmm"
During Lin Zhixing's singing, a special tone emerged, which was very cute and catchy.
The audience's eyes fell on Song Ge, who had her index finger on her pink lips, as if she was thinking about something, and the corners of their mouths curled up in surprise.
"Is this Song Ge's voice?"
“It sounds nice, but it’s so tight, hahaha!”
"Look at the sword, little clamp!"
The unique rhythm and beat was like a torrent that broke through all obstacles. Even the audience who were not interested in rap felt a strong impact from the music and quickly immersed themselves in it.
"Tight pants and tight tops show off your figure"
"Don't be surprised when someone shows their gold teeth"
"Hip-hop is sprouting, don't pull out its false teeth"
“Lockin Poppin We Dancing”
"Ani't No Stopping Sing with me"
…
Inside the surprise singer's compartment.
The surprise singer in tiger mask became depressed after hearing this.
He completely gave up the idea of a surprise attack and stayed away from the challenging lever.
My own rap lyrics cannot compare with others.
The lyrics are full of yearning and pursuit for happiness. With the music styles of different eras as the background, it shows people's different understandings and expressions of happiness, allowing audiences of different ages to resonate with it.
What about your own lyrics?
Compared with others, it seems like it was written at the last minute, and the main theme is casual.
I can't surprise anyone this time, because my song has already been submitted, and it would be really embarrassing if I sang it out.
…
"Happiness worship is harmless"
“Happiness is like a virus that is contagious.”
“We’ve been waiting for the millennium for 90 years”
“Party electronic music all night long”
Judges' seat.
Hearing this, Huang Xiao pressed the add ticket button without hesitation, and the yellow lights on the stage began to flash.
He liked the rap lyrics of this song very much, and the lyrics even brought his thoughts back to that era.
In the 70s, people were immersed in the carnival of funk music, in the 80s, the charm of street dance culture was displayed, and in the 90s, electronic music represented the carnival and pursuit of contemporary young people.
Using music styles from different eras, people can feel the power of happiness while crossing time and space.
The lyrics also emphasize the contagiousness of happiness, allowing people to share happiness together, worship happiness together, and feel the beauty of life in happy music.
He looked at the energetic Lin Zhixing on the stage, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
"Xiao Lin, you brought me so many surprises!"
When fans saw that the judges used their right to add votes during the performance, they waved their arms with cheering sticks even faster.
The atmosphere at the scene completely surpassed that of Guo Jiahe's opening performance.
…
Singers waiting room.
"Another vote, Brother Lin is really awesome!"
While Dong Chen was happy for Lin Zhixing, he thought that if the trend continued, getting first place might not be a dream.
"Okay, okay, if he joins my team, our ranking will definitely improve!"
Pan Shuai looked at Lin Zhixing on the screen and admired him very much, thinking that he resembled himself when he was young.
"You are really good, kid!"
Guo Jiahe clenched his fists, his face turned red with anger, and his teeth were about to break.
He didn't react to the initial introduction, but when the audience saw him laughing, he came to his senses.
He would only feel relieved if Lin Zhixing eliminated him immediately, but looking at the current situation, he is far from being eliminated. He is angry and helpless.
…
On the stage, Lin Zhixing's singing gradually got better.
"This modern, hurried age"
“Although time is short, don’t get tired”
“Do today’s work today”
"Because tomorrow we'll have plenty of time to go crazy together"
This verse gave a shot in the arm to those netizens who use "sorrow is the norm in life" and "new day, new sadness" as their catchphrases.
Off screen.
"I just did it yesterday, why do I have to do it again today..."
Xiao Che is a web writer with procrastination problem. He is thinking about the plot while watching the live broadcast.
He was touched after hearing the lyrics.
You should not be tired. The bricks are just there. You might as well move them early, go crazy and worship happiness.
“Bang!”
He slapped the table and typed on the keyboard, "If God doesn't give me a chance to make a comeback, online literature will be in darkness forever!"
"Open the code!"
…
…
"YO's unbridled rhythm"
"Look at your unbridled interaction"
"Seeing you being so unbridled"
"Look at my unbridled creation"
“Look, I’m holding the microphone.”
"Sing a happy show"
Lin Zhixing fully demonstrated his rapping and creative abilities through smooth rhythm and sharp lyrics, which can be called a visual and auditory feast.
At this moment, off screen.
In a hotel room, three young men in pajamas were staring intently at the TV screen.
Wei Zhehao with blond hair is a rapper from the show "I Am the Rap King" and a member of Pan Shuai's team. He is currently ranked first in the team and is also a player that Pan Shuai has high hopes for.
Upon learning that Lin Zhixing, who was about to participate in the show, would perform rap tonight, he watched the live broadcast with the other two team members, Li Chao and Chai Da, who lived with him.
It was clearly summer, but the more Li Chaoyue listened to the song, the more shocked he felt. At the same time, he felt a little inexplicably cold all over and got goose bumps.
"Brother Hao, is the air conditioner set to 26 degrees?"
Wei Zhehao looked up and said, "The air conditioner is not on."
"oh……"
Li Chao rubbed the goose bumps on his body, shook his head and said with emotion: "This guy named Lin Zhixing is quite strong. I think if he comes to our show, he will definitely change the direction of the competition and become the favorite to win."
"Really? It's okay. I think it's the voice of the female companion that adds color to the song."
Chai Da lit a cigarette, took a deep puff and said, "If you remove the female partner from this song, the effect will be reduced by half, but the lyrics are really good."
He smiled and patted Li Chao's shoulder, comforting him: "He is the only one in the competition, he won't have many songs with good lyrics like this."
"The 'I Am the King of Singers' competition is more important, and the opponents are all big names. He must have brought out his best song. When he comes to our show, he definitely won't be able to come up with a song that's better than this one, so just relax!"
“Don’t take it lightly.”
Wei Zhehao listened carefully. He felt that Lin Zhixing was extraordinary. The lyrics of this song could be said to be better than all the songs released so far in "I Am the Rap King".
There is nothing to fault with her singing ability either. Her rhythm, sense of tempo, clarity of pronunciation, fluency and so on are all impeccable.
The combination of excellent singing skills and excellent songs created an effect that frightened him. His lips trembled and he couldn't help but say, "I think I might lose to him..."
"Um?"
Li Chao and Chai Da felt unbelievable when they saw Wei Zhehao, who was usually proud and complacent.
…
Inside the studio.
Hong Bo looked at the steadily increasing number of people online in the live broadcast room, smiled and shook his head, "They are so popular with the audience, and more and more viewers like them."
"yes."
Ji Lei smiled and nodded, "Based on my opinion, they will become more and more popular. It may not be easy to invite them to variety shows in the future!"
…
"Those who are in love or heartbroken, please follow me"
“Dancing and worshipping joy”
"Follow me whether you are happy or not"
"Beautiful and sacred time does not wait"
Song Ge did not have many stage roles today, but her beautiful high notes were very catchy.
Finally, the song ended with the two of them singing in perfect harmony.
There was warm applause from the audience and rave reviews in the live broadcast room.
"Xiao Song finally experienced the joy of paddling today, hahaha!"
"Oh yeah, brother's rap really didn't disappoint me, it was awesome!"
"I love this song. The feeling I get from happy worship is a spiritual belief that allows people to pursue happiness, let go of burdens, and enjoy life. It sounds great!"
…
Singers waiting room.
Pan Shuai looked at the dazzling Lin Zhixing on the screen, and felt that every word of the song touched his heart, and he even had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Just talking about this song...
Why do I feel like I'm living in his shadow? I got stuck in the middle of the song yesterday, and I thought it was bad to be stuck, so I slacked off at work and finished it. I'm very sorry! (End of this chapter)
