Chapter 155: A Slap in the Face
[Ding!]
【Kill people and destroy their hearts! 】
[System missions are enabled at a simple difficulty level. Gain 50 points of anger from rappers. Complete the mission and you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth.]
During the interlude of the song, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded.
Team Pan Shuai.
Wei Zhehao listened to the lyrics of the song and was extremely impressed by Lin Zhixing's talent. The rap lyrics he sang were like a dimensionality reduction attack on this stage.
Chai Da stared at the stage, frowning and saying, "Brother Hao, after hearing this guy's lyrics, I feel a little embarrassed to sing."
Li Chao sighed and rubbed his tight temples. "Me too. My lyrics are worth throwing away when compared to this song."
Wei Zhehao turned his head and glanced at Chai Da and Li Chao who were standing beside him with great admiration on their faces. The corners of his mouth curled up and he comforted them, "Me too."
…
"The general follows fashion and his whole body is covered in bling bling"
"I learned to chant sutras like Westerners and forgot my husband's name"
Lin Zhixing's unique voice and excellent sense of rhythm made the whole scene boil, and the audience swayed along with the rhythm, which was completely different from the performance-like atmosphere when the previous contestants sang.
"You've forgotten your own surname when you learn to chant like Westerners." This insult was so harsh that the eight singers who had just sung English songs all turned their faces black, and some of them were already cursing in their hearts.
【bite!】
[Rage value +20! ]
During the performance, in order to make his emotions more full, Lin Zhixing was also thinking about some events that would fit the theme of the song and could arouse his emotions.
For example, when Brother Kun won the Chinese Golden Melody Award with a song entirely in English, Jay Chou in the audience turned pale.
“They kept saying check out and wanted him to get out.”
"I am a small soldier but I am optimistic and content with my fate"
According to Lin Zhixing’s own understanding, the “general” in the song is actually a popular trend. Popularity is like a general, but we cannot listen to him blindly. If we follow the trend just because it is popular, we will only learn the basics.
“I don’t follow trends, I create them!”
Lin Zhixing leaned down, pointed to the stage floor, and sang in an operatic voice.
"Learn to say ABCD in your world"
"Sorry, please speak Chinese in my land"
“Wow!”
As the most impressive lyrics of the song "General's Order", after it was sung, the audience below the stage shouted out in a booing manner.
The number of barrages in the live broadcast room reached its peak at this moment.
"The whole song summarizes what we are talking about now, cultural confidence, it is so good and enjoyable to listen to!"
“The black lyrics become redder the more I read them!”
"I really like this song. The melody is very appealing, and the author also put a lot of effort into the lyrics. Oh yeah, it's awesome!"
【bite!】
[Rage value +20! ]
In the last competition, the song sung on this stage was "My Territory". This time, I directly told everyone that they have to speak Chinese in my territory.
It's both domineering and classy, and the key is that the connection is so good.
This episode is the one where rap contestants have been dissed the most from the auditions to now. Every one of them was red in the face and cursing in their hearts.
Zhou Dan, who once dominated the charts, not only had his territory taken away by his challengers, but his songs were also severely dissed. He was really angry.
We lost this round without any suspense, and we must save face next time.
Tutor seat.
Pan Shuai looked at Lin Zhixing, who was radiating dazzling light on the stage, and was very impressed. This kind of creative ability was something he himself could not achieve.
It’s a bit inappropriate to be his mentor now.
"It's amazing. He didn't use a single curse word and he dissed the other contestants to pieces."
Dong Zuanhua admires Lin Zhixing very much. Based on his performance in the past two episodes, he feels that Lin Zhixing will not only win the championship on this stage, but will also become a great figure in the rap field.
The number of people online in the live broadcast room began to rise sharply after declining during one English rap song after another, and now the data has surpassed the previous period.
…
…
Off screen.
Xiaowen is a fifth-grade pupil with a serious academic imbalance. He hates English class the most and has never passed the English test. Xiaowen's mother was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with English when he entered junior high school, so she sent him to an English remedial class.
In class, Xiaowen felt overwhelmed when he saw his English teacher talking nonstop like a monk. He couldn't listen at all and his mind was full of thoughts about watching his idol "Oh Yeah Brother"'s show during the break.
During the ten-minute break between classes, Xiaowen asked his mother outside the classroom for her cell phone, opened the live broadcast room and happened to see Lin Zhixing singing.
He was deeply moved by the lyrics "In your world, I learned to speak ABCD. In my land, I'm sorry, please speak Chinese."
He suddenly had a dream, which was to become a rapper like Oh Yeah Brother and deliver such positive lyrics.
The break was short, and his most hated English class began again.
Xiaowen held his chin with his hand and didn't pay attention to the class. His mind was full of images of himself becoming a singer when he grew up and singing on the stage.
"Xiao Wen, how do you pronounce the word I just said?"
The English teacher noticed that he was distracted and called on him to answer.
Xiaowen stood up in panic and looked at the textbook, not knowing what the word was.
The criticism from the English teacher and the harsh ridicule from his classmates made Xiaowen, whose face turned red, finally explode. He pointed at the teacher.
"Learn to say ABCD in your world"
"Sorry, please speak Chinese in my land"
The students around cast admiring glances at the English teacher, who stood there in a daze.
Five minutes later, outside the classroom.
"I don't want to learn English, I want to be a rapper!"
Admired by his classmates, Xiaowen became more determined and shouted with his chest puffed and fists clenched.
“Bang!”
The old mother slapped Xiaowen on the face with love.
The intense pain made Xiao Wen burst into tears. Thinking of his classmates who had supported him just now, he shouted in pain: "It's check, it's freestyle!"
What a standard pronunciation!
The English teacher's eyes lit up, "Could it be that this child who doesn't like English is actually a congenital English saint?"
“Bang!”
Another blow of maternal love.
As a happy-go-lucky soldier, he had to listen to his mother, a general who worshipped foreign things.
Xiaowen wiped her tears, lowered her head with trembling lips, and said, "I don't want to rap anymore. I want to learn English. I love learning English."
——Another young man lost his dream.
…
On the gorgeous stage.
"I know there's something about us"
"I know we dare to charge"
"I know about the proud dragon"
Lin Zhixing's singing was full of power and passion. Every word seemed to be beating and striking the hearts of the audience, making them feel the true emotion of the singing.
It directly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
…
“I know what is right and what is wrong and I can tell for myself.”
"Please be quiet, please be quiet"
After a loud "Yeah", the singing of the song "General's Order" was completed, and Lin Zhixing bowed deeply to the audience to express his gratitude.
“Nice!”
The audience was very excited and responded with thunderous applause.
The song is over, but there are still 10 points left for the task...
Lin Zhixing suddenly had an idea. When he walked back to the contestant's seat, he deliberately walked around in front of Zhao Fan, raised one hand, and put his face close to Zhao Fan with a smile.
He wouldn't be like this on other stages. It's too common for people to mock each other on a rap stage, and the production team will even create tension, otherwise there's nothing to watch.
The audience who noticed this detail were all amused.
“Although I don’t know why Oh Ye Ge posted that Weibo, but now it seems that he obviously did it!”
"Hahaha, killing people and destroying their hearts!"
Zhao Fan's nose was crooked with anger. He was still holding the same words before and after going on stage? This was too much of a bully.
But after being bullied, he had no ability to fight back, and his plan to provoke Zhou Dan to beat him at the dinner table also failed. He was left with only helpless rage.
【bite!】
[Anger value +10! ]
[The system task of simple difficulty has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Beautiful Myth"! ]
"Are the songs by the two powerful singers, Han Hong and Sun Nan, coming?"
Lin Zhixing returned to his seat with a smile on his face.
As the theme song of the movie "The Myth", this song became popular as the movie became a hit. It is a rare work that is popular in both the film and the soundtrack, and it is also one of the most well-known male and female duets.
There is also a Chinese-Korean version sung by Jackie Chan and Kim Hee Sun, which is also a classic among classics.
As a ballad, this one is also an excellent work of high quality.
…
The concert continued, and the remaining three singers from Pan Shuai's team took the stage one by one.
When Lin Zhixing took the stage, they were all met with a cold reception, and the number of people online in the live broadcast room dropped by one third. The data fully proved to Hou Pingliang "who is the king".
After all the contestants finished singing, Lin Zhixing glanced at the stage. For two consecutive episodes, he didn't see a single fragment.
This stage is incomparable to the King of Singers' stage! ...
The host, Hua Shaoyang, returned to the stage. "All singers have performed brilliantly. Now I declare the voting officially open!"
"While the votes are being counted, please tell us why you're adding more votes!"
As expected, the three mentors used all their voting rights on Lin Zhixing. Their students were not dissatisfied, but they just couldn't defeat him.
Dong Zuanzi gave a thumbs up and praised: "The song satirizes the worship of foreign things and is very enjoyable to listen to. I have never heard a better song than this one on this theme!"
"You may see it in the future. Compendium of Materia Medica is also good." Lin Zhixing thought to himself as he listened to the comments.
Pan Shuai also praised: "Very strong, we rappers should really focus on Chinese rap and promote Chinese!"
Shen Fei also gave his affirmation.
The camera turned to the rappers in the contestant seats, and each of them looked as wilted as eggplants hit by frost.
This episode was really blasted, no temper at all.
…
"good!"
After the review session, Hua Shaoyang received the vote count and announced with a smile: "I declare that the contestant who won the first place tonight is Lin Zhixing!"
"Second place Zhou Dan!"
"The third place is Wei Zhehao!"
"The fourth one is Zhao Fan!"
"...The contestants whose names were not called will leave the stage soon."
Chai Da really guessed it right. Dong Diamond's team and Shen Fei's team eliminated two players each, and all four members of Pan Shuai's team remained on this stage.
Finally, after the eliminated contestants’ farewell speeches, the recording of this episode ended.
The schedule also became a fierce 8 to 4 competition.
…
…
That night.
The song "General's Order" quickly climbed to the top of Weibo's hot search list and occupied the first place on the hot search list.
[It is not advisable to worship foreign things, we must promote our own culture! 】
The number of likes exceeded 100,000, the number of comments exceeded 50,000, and the topic went from (hot) to (explosive).
In a high-end apartment in Shanghai.
Director Hou Pingliang, who was wearing pajamas, turned on his computer while smoking a cigarette, intending to check out the audience's feedback after the live broadcast of this program.
The feedback was like a report card from his school days, and he got nervous every time he opened it.
The song "General's Order" took the first place on the hot search list. Hou Pingliang was a little excited, because it meant that this episode of the program received a lot of attention.
He clicked on the Weibo comment section.
"This song is really exciting. I like Brother Oh Ye for being so opinionated."
"The lyrics don't contain a single curse word, but they satirize those who worship foreign things and fawn on foreigners. This creative ability is amazing!"
"It's not just about winning the championship, but also about passing on the spirit. It's so precious!"
The comments section received rave reviews.
Hou Pingliang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. After watching for a while, he clicked on the official Weibo of the program to see the feedback about the program.
However, after reading the feedback on the program's official Weibo, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Is this how you do rap shows? It's all in English, right? Why don't you invite foreigners to participate?"
"Oh yeah, what a breath of fresh air. I don't even want to watch this show without him!"
"This director is rubbish. If he wasn't waiting for Oh Ye Ge to come on stage, he would have shut down this bird-singing show long ago."
The overwhelming online public opinion made director Hou Pingliang unable to sit still. In this environment, if he or the program team was accused of "worshiping foreign things and fawning on foreigners", it would be a disaster.
He closed his Weibo and immediately called his assistant.
"Xiao Zhang, at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, except for Lin Zhixing, all other contestants must join the video conference. I have something to tell you, and everyone must attend!"
…
Eight o'clock the next evening.
The video conference went on as scheduled. Except for Lin Zhixing, all the contestants sat in front of the screen, waiting for director Hou Pingliang to appear on camera.
Zhao Fan counted the contestants on the screen, but Lin Zhixing was the only one absent, which surprised him. When director Hou Pingliang showed up, he looked at Hou Pingliang's somewhat livid face and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Hello, Director Hou!"
"Good evening, Director Hou!"
Hou Pingliang, with a gloomy face, made a stop gesture and said bluntly: "I'm going to tell you one thing tonight. From the next episode onwards, you are not allowed to sing pure English rap songs on the show "I Am the Rap King". Sing in Chinese!"
It’s interesting that a song directly caused the program team to change the rules.
Wei Zhehao smiled and shook his head, feeling that Lin Zhixing was amazing.
"receive!"
"receive!"
After listening to what the director said, Zhao Fan looked at Zhou Dan, who was silent and with his head down on the screen, and felt a little ashamed. He felt like a clown.
The rights and interests that I wanted were not obtained. After all the operations, not only did I get slapped in the face, but the rights and interests that I originally had were also taken away...
Damn Lin Zhixing!
