Chapter 154 "General's Order" Please hit my palm with your face!
Shanghai Recording Building.
On the day of recording of "I Am the Rap King", it was 6:30 in the evening, and there was still an hour and a half before the show was to start.
In the Pan Shuai team lounge.
"Although our team has always been at the bottom, I have never doubted my vision in selecting players and your abilities! Tonight, I hope everyone will give their best and strive to keep everyone on this stage!"
Pan Shuai, dressed in trendy brand clothes, was sitting among the players, giving pre-match mobilization. Tonight's game was very important, and the format was twelve to eight.
"good!"
Everyone replied.
Chaida, who was wearing sunglasses and had pierced ears, smiled and patted his chest, "The other two teams will each eliminate two people, so it's ok for us all to stay, that's exactly eight people!"
Pan Shuai smiled and nodded, "I hope so. If everyone can advance, I will treat everyone to dinner tonight!"
"good!"
When they heard about the dinner invitation, the team members became interested. Li Chao joked, "We can't forget to wash our feet after dinner!"
Pan Shuai glanced at him, then turned his head and looked at Lin Zhixing, who had been very quiet, as if thinking about something.
He really likes this pre-match attitude. He must have simulated the game scenes in his mind. He is truly a promising player in the future!
Lin Zhixing was indeed thinking, but he was thinking about the topic of foot washing just now.
ââLove rises with the bell, and itâs hard to calm down when the bell stops.
"Okay, let's take a break!"
Pan Shuai patted each player on the shoulder to encourage them, and then left the locker room.
"Come on, Brother Chao, accompany me to the bathroom."
Chai Da put his arm around Li Chao's shoulders and they went out of the lounge to go to the bathroom together.
Lin Zhixing and Wei Zhehao were the only two people left in the lounge.
Lin Zhixing doesn't like people in this circle very much, and he doesn't have the habit of actively chatting with others. Now he is leaning comfortably on the sofa and browsing Weibo.
Suddenly, Wei Zhehao stood up and sat opposite him. He paused and said, "Brother, there is something I think I need to tell you."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Zhixing was a little surprised. He put down his phone, sat up and straightened his body.
Wei Zhehao turned his head to glance outside the door, lowered his voice and said bluntly: "The contestants are very dissatisfied with the program team's blunder in the last competition, especially Zhao Fan and Zhou Dan. The other two teams are already planning to protest against the program team."
Protesting the production team? Zhou Dan is understandably dissatisfied with the production team for not being ranked, but what do you, Zhao Fan, who was defeated by them, have to be dissatisfied with? You are really shameless.
Lin Zhixing frowned slightly and asked in surprise: "How are they going to protest the production team? Are they going to diss the program with lyrics?"
Wei Zhehao shook his head and explained, "They are going to sing English rap together this time, and Zhao Fan even communicated privately to let the three of us sing English rap as well, leaving you out in the cold.
"We all hate Zhao Fan, so we didn't agree. We are all on the same team. I think it's necessary to tell you about this so that you can be prepared before the game."
"Okay, thank you very much!"
Lin Zhixing nodded and thanked him. He had heard that before he came, Wei Zhehao was the most powerful player in Pan Shuai's team, but he stole his limelight after he came.
Not only did he not hate himself, he also told himself about this, which is quite generous and respectful.
As for their protest, Lin Zhixing was really amused. He was planning to sing "The General's Order" while they were collectively singing English rap. They were really stretching their necks out and asking for a beating.
Okay, okay, Iâll grant your wish today!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhixing picked up his phone again and opened Weibo. This time he didn't read it, but edited a text and sent it out directly.
[I'm a little tired, can you hit my palm with your face? @Rapper Zhao Fan. ]
Repeated silence and tolerance only resulted in further progress.
Okay, I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to be frank with you. I've been wanting to confront you for a long time! As soon as this Weibo post was published, netizens who were just watching the show started a heated discussion.
"It seems like they have had a conflict for a long time, and this has intensified it!"
"Hahahaha, this is the first time that Brother Ohye has argued with someone on Weibo. This is interesting!"
"As expected of a Weibo joke teller, I predict this sentence will be made into an emoticon!"
"The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger, a must-see tonight!"
âŚ
âŚ
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the lounge of Dong Diamond Team.
Zhao Fan crossed his legs, smoked a cigarette, and chatted with other team members. "Tonight, the production team will be shocked. After this show, they will apologize to us. Do you believe it?"
"Of course, our rights have to be fought for. If we don't do this, the production team will think we are easy to bully!"
"That's right, that's the right thing to do."
The other team members echoed.
After chatting for a while, the other team members started practicing singing. Zhao Fan had nothing to do and opened Weibo to reply and tag others. There were all 99+ messages, which stunned him.
What's going on?
He clicked on the message out of curiosity and saw that Lin Zhixing had directly criticized him on Weibo. He was angry and annoyed after reading the content.
In anger, he immediately edited a Weibo post to respond.
But his finger fell on the send button, and after hesitating for a while, he deleted it again.
If I had encountered this before the last round of competition, I would have responded harshly.
Itâs different now. After arguing on Weibo, I canât beat the reality and become even more clownish.
"I'm so angry!"
Zhao Fan threw his phone on the sofa in a rage, picked up the cigarette that had just been placed on the ashtray, and put the lit end into his mouth.
"Dig a hole!"
âŚ
âŚ
Eight o'clock in the evening.
With a gesture from the on-site director, the scene suddenly became quiet, and the live broadcast room of "I Am the Rap King" was officially opened.
Due to Lin Zhixingâs superb performance in the previous episode, a group of new audiences were attracted. Fans had been waiting in the live broadcast room for a long time. For a time, they poured in like a tide, and the barrage of comments filled the screen.
"First, the sofa!"
"Oh yeah brother, come on, Zhao Fan, hit your palm with your face!"
"I Am The Rap King cannot exist without Oh Ye Ge, just like pancakes cannot exist without green onions!"
"Eat melons, I'm here to see you get slapped in the face!"
âŚ
In the director's office.
"Oh my god, the initial data has increased again!"
Director Hou Pingliang looked at the real-time data in the live broadcast room and was so surprised that he stuttered. "My goodness, the addition of a challenger has directly brought a second spring to the program. It's terrible!"
The female assistant beside him smiled and nodded, "The last issue of 'My Territory' was so popular. After a week of preparation, new fans have come. The data for this issue will definitely be quite good."
âI hope so!â
Hou Pingliang smiled and shook his head. "It's beyond my expectation that such a niche program can be successful like this."
âŚ
On the gorgeous stage.
The host, Hua Shaoyang, wearing a bright blue suit, came on stage amid cheers, "Good evening, audience friends!"
"good!"
After the opening remarks, inspiring background music sounded, and the three mentors waved their hands and came out. Behind each mentor was his or her team member, and the opening effect was very effective.
Lin Zhixing had a seat this time. After he sat down, it happened that the sofa next to him was where Zhao Fan was sitting. The two of them were about half a meter apart.
Their eyes met, and Zhao Fan glared at Lin Zhixing fiercely.
Lin Zhixing looked at him with eyes full of fatherly love. He slowly raised his hand and pointed to his palm with his other hand.
Zhao Fan's nose was crooked with anger.
The camera scanned the contestants' seats, and this scene happened to be seen by the audience, and netizens were delighted.
"It's so funny, oh yeah, is this a live demonstration?"
"Hahaha, this is murderous!"
âŚ
After the host's opening remarks, the singing session began soon.
There are three teams, each with four members. They will go on stage in the order of the numbers drawn on the screen, but this episode is based on teams.
The first team to perform was the Dong Diamond Team, and the contestants took turns to perform on stage.
Lin Zhixing's evaluation is that this group of people's English rap is worse than Chinese rap. Not only is the English pronunciation not standard, but one singer's English even has a dialect feel and a strong flavor.
He also seriously doubted the on-site director, who assigned tasks to the audience. The cheers from the audience were so outrageous.
This kind of situation does exist. Usually, college students are invited to watch for free. They are trained for half an hour to an hour before the show starts. They are taught how to laugh and shout. The goal is to get good results in the filming.
"Next, please welcome singer Zhao Fan to perform a song for everyone..."
As the strongest player of Dong Diamond Team, Zhao Fan is indeed a little better than the others. He used English words, and it is impossible to tell what the specific meaning is. It is much better than the previous song "I Just Love to Procrastinate", whose words were simply devastating to the ears.
"That's it?"
Lin Zhixing shrugged at him as he walked back.
âŚ
The next team to appear were the members of Shen Fei's team.
Zhou Dan was the first to appear. His English rap was indeed quite good, and he seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction. He sang harder this time, and the effect was even better than the previous one.
It was visibly visible that the audience were clapping and cheering sincerely, and it could be said that the previously cold atmosphere was restored, otherwise the audience would really have turned off the live broadcast.
The concert was still going on, and careful netizens discovered a problem: all the songs in this episode were English rap, without a single Chinese one.
"Two teams in a row sang English songs? What's going on?"
"I see, they are protesting, right?"
"Can you please stop singing that bird language? It sounds like shit!"
Director Hou Pingliang also noticed this problem. He immediately understood what the contestants meant and frowned slightly.
âŚ
While netizens were speculating, the avatars of the players from Pan Shuai's team were scrolling on the stage screen.
The host Hua Shaoyang walked back to the stage, looked at the results on the screen, and introduced in a high tone: "Now, please welcome Lin Zhixing to perform the song "General's Order". Please welcome him with applause!"
ăGeneral's Orderă
ăSinger: Lin Zhixingă
ăLyrics: Lin Zhixingă
ăComposition: Lin Zhixingă
ăArranger: Lin Zhixingă
"Sure enough, it's original again. What does this name mean?"
The audience looked at the song information on the screen and had no idea what it meant.
As mentors, Pan Shuai and Shen Fei had high expectations for Lin Zhixing, especially Shen Fei, who liked him even more after she sang the song "One is Like Summer and the Other is Like Autumn".
"come on!"
Encouraged by his teammates, Lin Zhixing picked up the microphone and walked slowly to the center of the stage.
He was wearing a red jacket today, and he looked particularly dazzling under the spotlight.
Soon, the accompaniment of traditional instruments sounded, and while it caught the ears, the contestants and mentors' eyes lit up, "Is this going to be a traditional Chinese style rap?"
âI know whatâs wrong with being rightâ
"I know what the general said may not be true"
âI know what is right and what is wrong and I can tell for myself.â
"Please be quiet, please be quiet"
The song "General's Order" begins with the chorus. Lin Zhixing's rhythmic singing attracted the audience, but they did not understand what it meant.
"I am a soldier and I am on edge."
"On the battlefield, listen to who is giving orders"
"The general was tipsy and couldn't tell the direction."
âHe listens to all the sutras recited by Westernersâ
While Lin Zhixing was singing, the hand that was not holding the microphone swept towards the contestant seats on the right side of the stage. Combined with the lyrics on the screen, the five words "Westerners chanting scriptures" made some smart netizens understand the theme of the song.
"Different skin colors speak different languages"
"Same rhythm, different melody"
âYou have to explain your own culture.â
âWe have our own stage to support ourselvesâ
Lin Zhixing patted his chest and pronounced the three words "I will do it myself" very heavily.
If you were still a little confused about the meaning just now, this paragraph directly and clearly expresses the confidence in culture and the dissatisfaction with the worship of foreign things.
âWow?â
"The stage is not your goal, your goal is to promote Chinese rap?"
Pan Shuai's eyes lit up when he heard the lyrics. He really liked the line "culture speaks for itself, stage supports itself" and understood what Lin Zhixing wanted to express.
Compared to other singers who keep talking about "champion", this one keeps talking about promoting culture, which is so cool.
âI like this word!â
âI know whatâs wrong with being rightâ
"I know the moon in foreign countries is not rounder"
"I know yo yo yo is not my language"
"Please be quiet, please be quiet"
The live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments, and eight consecutive English songs brought the audience's emotions to the bottom. This song of criticism, which was like a refreshing article, made the audience's breasts become unblocked.
"It's better to criticize people for not having a rounder moon in foreign countries. I've seen many people who worship foreign things saying that the air in foreign countries is sweeter and it's hard to breathe in China. We should sing this song in their faces!"
"Most rappers nowadays are imitating European and American styles, learning how to diss others, while Chinese style rap is gradually lost and becoming neither fish nor fowl. I hope that this song by Oh Ye Ge can wake these rappers up."
"Oh yeah, I've reminded everyone that yoyo is not our language, oh yeah is!"
The photographer turned the camera to the contestant seats. The two teams that had just sung the English song now blushed.
The rappers led by Zhou Dan felt extremely ashamed and regretful, feeling that they had been fooled by Zhao Fan.
Now, not only did I lose my rights, but I also lost face.
"Okay, okay, you're waiting for me here, right?"
Zhao Fan finally understood what the Weibo post meant. He was so angry and embarrassed that his face turned red. He lowered his head and remained silent, too embarrassed to look at other people.
My own operation...
It seemed like he was really using his face to slap him hard.
