Chapter 162 The Band's Summer
Backstage of the program team.
"Xiao Lin, no wonder Hua Zi said you are amazing. In my opinion, you are even better than he said. Your performance tonight was outstanding!"
"Thank you for the compliment. There is some luck involved."
"Too modest!"
After nearly an hour of recording, after the show ended, Lin Zhixing and Fei Taiqing chatted and laughed all the way and walked back to the dressing room together.
It is quite relaxing to record this kind of variety show. I didn’t feel tired after sitting through almost the entire show. It is a hundred times easier than the previous “The Birth of a Group”.
Zhang Donghai followed behind them and looked at the chat messages Guo Jiahe sent to him. The words were full of sarcasm and made him feel even more uncomfortable after reading them.
Originally, he wanted to raise his own value on the show, but this time, not only did Lin Zhixing steal all the limelight, but his own value also dropped by 20%.
In the past, people introduced me as the creative director of Super July M and a man with absolute pitch.
Whenever someone introduces me like this in the future, the bad memories of tonight will come back to me, and I will find this title embarrassing.
"How shameless! I underestimated the enemy!"
Zhang Donghai replied "I'm sorry" to Guo Jiahe, put his phone back in his pocket, looked at Lin Zhixing's back, and said to himself: "Just wait, wait until the "I Am the King of Singers" supporting performance competition starts, then you will cry!"
…
In the dressing room, Lin Zhixing and Fei Taiqing had a pleasant chat and exchanged contact information before leaving.
"Hello, Brother Zhixing."
Hearing someone calling him from behind in the corridor, Lin Zhixing turned around and saw the girl who was playing the piano on the stage and performing a multitasking performance.
This contestant was very impressive. He played the piano well and said that he could play all his songs. If this is true, then he must be a die-hard fan.
Lin Zhixing stopped and said, "Hello, are you the contestant named Xiao today?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Xiao Yu smiled, nodded, and asked, "I like you and your partner very much. I have liked you since "The Birth of a Group". My mother also likes you very much. Can I take a photo with you?"
"no problem."
Lin Zhixing readily cooperated in taking photos.
After taking the photo, Lin Zhixing asked curiously, "What is your role in participating in the show? Are you engaged in musical instrument work?"
"Oh!"
Xiao Yu tapped his forehead and sighed, "I'm a college student who just graduated two months ago. I'm having a hard time finding a job. I thought I'd be able to use this show to gild myself so that it would be easier to find a job, but I didn't expect to be embarrassed."
Lin Zhixing nodded after listening to this. This idea was actually correct, but it was indeed a bit sad that he did not advance.
"Don't be discouraged. Don't give up just because others say you can't do it. I think you're pretty good. I've organized a Western orchestra. If you want to come, the position of pianist can be reserved for you. I'm not in a hurry to reply, you can consider it!"
Lin Zhixing admired her very much, and if he could get her into the orchestra, it would be a small enhancement.
After saying that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
Xiao Yu took the business card with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Okay, I'll go home and discuss it."
…
…
On the night the show was recorded, the topic of “absolute pitch” became a hot search.
[The clash of absolute pitch in "Super Brain", who has the real absolute pitch! ] With pictures of Lin Zhixing, Zhang Donghai, and the contestants.
Netizens who watched this live broadcast left messages and comments on this topic.
"This episode was so funny. Two people who claimed to have perfect pitch were blasted to death by Oh Yeah. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt."
"Oh yeah, this is really amazing. He can distinguish eight notes at once. No wonder he has such strong creative ability!"
"I study music, and I've never seen anyone who can distinguish six notes at once. He is truly a genius among geniuses, with true absolute pitch."
…
Off screen.
A couple was lying on the bed making plans before going to bed. The girl was looking at her phone and the boy was reading a book. They didn't disturb each other and were very harmonious.
"What are you doing?"
"Wet your hands so you can turn the pages of the book."
"You're annoying, wait! Guess who I saw? I didn't expect he was so well hidden."
Li Zhenzhen turned her phone around and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhang Long took the phone and looked at it carefully. "Who is this? Lin Zhixing?"
"Yes."
Li Zhenzhen nodded. "He appeared on the show 'Super Brain' and showed off his musical ability. He was impressed again."
"Let me see."
Zhang Long watched the entire video clip and lowered his head in shame. "Deaf Five is not really deaf, we are the ones who are really blind!"
…
…
Yida Records Instrument Room.
"OK, very, very good, no flaws at all!"
Lin Zhixing had no idea that he had become a hot topic and was praised by netizens. After returning from recording the show, he rehearsed with the two bands until late at night to prepare for the band competition the day after tomorrow.
Zheng Lili put away her instrument and said, "Brother Lin, you've worked hard."
Lin Zhixing smiled and waved his hands, "It's nothing. I hope you can achieve good results the day after tomorrow and give the audience and judges a little shock, okay?"
"good!"
Everyone responded in unison.
After returning to the hotel from the company, Lin Zhixing posted a Weibo to promote his band.
[My band "Sound of the Heart" will participate in the "Summer of the Band" program. I have composed several songs for the band and will present them to everyone in the program. I hope everyone will support it! ]
After this Weibo post was released, it instantly attracted the attention of fans and the discussion became very heated for a while.
"Oh my god, not only does he write songs, he also writes music for the band. His creative ability is incredible! He is indeed a genius with absolute pitch!"
"Looking forward to it, I will definitely go to watch the show the day after tomorrow night!"
…
The next morning, Lin Zhixing received a call as soon as he arrived at the company.
"Excuse me, is this Lin Zhixing?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"I'm Xu Chun, the conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra. We met at a composer gathering last time."
"Oh, Brother Xu, I remember now."
"It's me. I checked Weibo this morning and saw that your band also participated in the "Band's Summer" program, right?"
"Yes."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment...
"Look, there's something I want to discuss with you. Although we've only bought the copyright for commercial performances, can we play the symphony version of 'Over the Moon' on this show? Our fans have left messages wanting to hear this song."
Lin Zhixing understood what he meant. He didn't intend to let the orchestra play this song, so he nodded and agreed immediately, "No problem!"
…
…
The day of recording "Summer of the Band".
One hour before the competition started, backstage of the production team.
Because this was the first recording, there were a lot of rules and requirements that needed to be explained, and all ten participating band contestants were present.
"Look at this group of staff, they are so contemptuous!"
Dong Yuhao, the drummer of Tang Music Band, looked at the staff who were explaining the foreign Vienna Orchestra and snorted coldly, showing great dissatisfaction.
Guo Mingtao, a flute player of the Tang Music Group, curled his lips, "Foreigners are just so good, right? I really should go up and sing a song of "General's Order" to their ears!"
Dong Yuhao gave a thumbs up and said, "Go, go quickly, if you dare to sing, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Guo Mingtao smiled and rubbed his throat, "It's not that I don't dare, my throat is not in good condition tonight."
"Stop bickering!"
Zheng Lili interrupted, "The Vienna Orchestra is the strongest and most famous, so it's understandable that these staff members are surrounding them. If you want the staff to surround you, let your strength speak for itself."
"Yes, Sister Li is right."
Han Tao, the leader of the Western Orchestra of Good Luck Studio, secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. She was worthy of being the woman he had loved. What she said was so cool.
He knew in his heart that leading the Western orchestra himself had an easier time than leading Zheng Lili. After all, he had Lin Zhixing to expose him, while Tang Yin had no exposure at all.
The road ahead for Tang Music Group is not easy...
Twenty minutes before the game started, the audience lined up to enter.
Lin Zhixing greeted the program crew and reserved a seat for himself in the audience. He was now sitting in the audience waiting for the program to begin.
The four main judges of the show and forty public judges also walked into the recording hall and sat in their respective seats.
Among the four main judges, there were two faces that Lin Zhixing was familiar with, Huang Xiao and Li Yumin.
Huang Xiao is very prestigious in both the fields of composition and lyrics, and often serves as a judge in major music variety shows.
Li Yumin is a famous composer. He was the one who organized the last composer gathering and he is also very prestigious in the circle.
The other two judges, both instrumental judges, scored the contestants based on their professionalism.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening.
After a gesture from the on-site director, the "Summer of the Orchestra" program officially started.
This program, "Summer of the Orchestra", does not have channels for live broadcast on the Internet or upload to video platforms. It is broadcast synchronously with the TV station, which is equivalent to live broadcast and also does not allow any mistakes.
With the inspiring music, a beautiful female host in cheongsam came on stage and made an opening speech with a smile, "Good evening, audience friends, welcome to watch the program "Summer of the Orchestra". I am Miaomiao, the host of tonight..."
After the opening remarks, the four judges were introduced.
Each judge stood up to greet everyone, and the audience responded with applause.
Lin Zhixing sat among the audience. Compared to the lively audiences on singing shows, the audiences on this kind of shows were quite quiet, and the applause was not that enthusiastic.
"Now let's welcome the first band to come on stage. Which band is it? Please look at the big screen!"
Following the direction of the host's finger, the names of ten groups began to scroll on the stage screen. After they stopped scrolling, the name of the first band to perform appeared in front of the audience.
【Lichunyuan】
【Composition: He Yi】
【Performed by: Tang Music Group】
"The first one to appear?"
Lin Zhixing frowned slightly. The audience's emotions had not yet stabilized, so he was at a disadvantage as the first to appear.
When the audience saw the title of this song, they burst into laughter.
"Am I seeing things? Lichunyuan? Why does it sound so much like the name of an ancient brothel?"
"It's a bit funny to play this kind of song on this stage!"
"I've never heard of this composer or band before, so I don't know what their level is!"
…
Soon, the members of Tang Music Band, led by Zheng Lili, came to the center of the stage.
The boys wore Tang suits and the girls wore cheongsams. Just this distinctive outfit left a deep impression on the audience, and they also understood why they were called Tang Music Band.
【bite!】
[The cumulative task is activated. Every time the band stays on the stage, they will receive a random song from Earth. ]
The system prompt sound suddenly rang in my mind.
Lin Zhixing's eyes lit up. There would be no elimination in the first round, which meant that he could get two songs in this round.
As the conductor of the Tang Music Orchestra waved his baton, the guqin and pipa players plucked the strings with light and powerful gestures, as graceful and charming as dancers.
The melody flowed out, filling every corner of the recording hall.
"Um?"
When the judges and the audience heard this piece, their eyes lit up and their first reaction was "It looks like it!" "This..."
"It's a bit magical. Listening to this song, the image of brothels in the movies and TV shows I've watched comes to mind!"
After just a short segment, Lin Zhixing clearly felt that the audience around him were full of energy, especially the men, who were no longer as unenthusiastic as they were at the beginning of the show.
“This song is great!”
Li Yumin adjusted his glasses and sat up straight. What he was best at was composing interludes for film and television dramas. According to the title "Lichunyuan", it was a perfect fit.
Huang Xiao also felt refreshed. "Just by listening to the music, the scene can jump out and emerge in my mind. This is really amazing!"
Who is the composer of “He Yi”? I have never heard of it!
Then the instruments blossomed, every note was played accurately, and the sound of each instrument was fully utilized...
Traveling through the world of musical scores, music and the soul become one, giving people endless imagination and bringing an indescribable wonderful feeling.
"Thank you. After listening to this, I feel like I have visited the entire Lichunyuan!"
"Thank you. I shuddered after hearing that!"
…
The piece was very short, only 55 seconds long, and the audience was still reluctant to listen to it again when the performance ended.
"Huh? It's over already? This is too fast!"
"The author is amazing, even the timing of the music fits the theme so well!"
Listening to the whispers of the audience around him, Lin Zhixing really wanted to laugh, but judging from the audience feedback, the effect should be very good.
After the performance, as the Tang Music Orchestra bowed, the audience burst into applause, which was very enthusiastic, much more enthusiastic than at the beginning of the show.
Zheng Lili and the band members felt the warm applause and were very happy.
“Thank you Tang Music Group for the wonderful performance!”
The host walked back to the stage with a smile, and stretched out his hand, saying, "Now, please invite the judges to comment on the Tang Music Group. First, please invite judge Wang Yuehua to comment."
Judges' seat.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who was seriously overweight, slowly raised the microphone and said, "The level of the orchestra's performance was very good. There were no mistakes and they coordinated well with each other, but..."
This "but" made the band members feel nervous.
"I feel that this song, which describes a brothel, is inappropriate for this stage."
