Chapter 167 On the Influence of a Song
After the program recording, in the dressing room.
“Dude, you’re amazing!”
"Please upload this song as soon as possible, I love listening to it so much!"
Li Chao and Chai Da, who were eliminated, surrounded Lin Zhixing and praised the song highly. "I never thought that you could use a hum you made while eating to make it into a song!"
Li Chao took out his phone and found the video he recorded at the hotel that day. "At the time, we thought you were just singing casually, but we didn't expect to witness the birth of a masterpiece! Can I post the video I recorded that day online?"
"OK."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded.
I really didn't expect that he still saved the video recorded that day. If netizens saw it, they would probably be shocked.
…
The other side.
Dong Zuanhua and Pan Shuai walked side by side in the corridor. Recalling the performance of "In the Name of the Father", the shocking feeling was still clear. "Pan, congratulations, your team has won the championship title. I didn't expect Lin Zhixing to be so powerful!"
This song made the opponent team surrender.
Pan Shuai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that he would bring me surprises one after another. I think he may be a leader in this circle in the future."
“That’s right.”
Dong Zuanzi sighed and nodded. "I am a little ashamed of being a mentor. Tonight made me feel that I might not be as capable as my students."
Take out the word "maybe".
Pan Shuai pursed his lips and agreed, "We both have the same idea. I never thought rap could be played like this. It's so advanced!"
Who said that he only relies on his partner to sing? Is he just doing nothing? Without his partner, he really goes all out! How scary!
…
The four people from the other two teams were on their way back to the hotel after the recording.
"I am convinced. I am really convinced!"
"His song is so good even before the finals, his song in the finals will definitely be a blast!"
Zhou Dan shrugged his shoulders, having lost all his temper after being beaten. "He has already won. I accept my defeat with all my heart. Now I just want to listen to his singing of "In the Name of the Father" a few more times tonight and think about it carefully."
Zhao Fan, who is usually talkative, remained silent throughout the journey.
He really didn't expect that starting from "Above the Moon", he would create a groundbreaking musician and dominate the entire rap circle with just one song.
It's an honor to be his opponent!
…
…
The show only aired for an hour.
The topic of "In the Name of the Father" directly topped the hot search list and reached the point of "explosion".
[#In the Name of the Father# I would like to call it the strongest rap in the Chinese music scene. This summer, I was completely chilled by the dark wind. (Explosive)]
This Weibo post received over 100,000 likes and nearly 50,000 comments, with the comment section filled with positive reviews.
"It has a strong sense of art and imagery, and a dark style, but it is also gorgeous, elegant, and high-end. Before this song came out, there was no Gothic dark song in the Chinese music scene. It can be regarded as a cross-era work!"
“In the Name of the Father is a masterpiece of music. The whole song actually has a one-and-a-half-minute prelude. Although it sounds “unconventional”, this method of creating an environment is simply amazing!”
"I got to know Brother Oh Ye because of "Above the Moon", I fell in love with Brother Oh Ye because of "Mountain and River Map", and I worship Brother Oh Ye because of "In the Name of the Father."
…
On the short video, a group of musicians, big and small, began to analyze the song "In the Name of the Father". Many versions appeared, but each version came back to the theme of "This song is awesome."
There are currently no cover versions of the song, as it is quite difficult to sing.
Two videos went viral on the Internet.
A village party secretary born in the 1990s likes Lin Zhixing very much, and also likes the song "In the Name of the Father" very much. He played the song on the radio, making netizens laugh.
“Villagers: Everyone in our village is guilty!”
"Auntie: There is something dirty!"
"Uncle: It seems my mother is coming to pick me up."
"The village next door: The village next door is evil!"
…
Another video that went viral was posted by Li Chao, which was recorded in the hotel that day.
[On the creative ability of outstanding creators, a simple meal witnessed the birth of a masterpiece! ]
After watching this video, netizens were shocked.
"First time, what the heck is this wolf howling thing! Second time, it was used in In the Name of the Father, awesome!"
"Newton discovered gravity after being hit by an apple. Oh yeah, I burned my mouth while eating hot pot, so I added the element of screaming to In the Name of the Father. If it were me, I would probably just say 'WTF'."
"This creative ability is truly amazing. From now on, all doubts will disappear completely!"
Due to the popularity of this song, Lin Zhixing gained 200,000 followers in 12 hours, and his Weibo followers exceeded 6 million.
…
…
Hangzhou, Metro Line 19.
Wen Lei is a loyal fan of Lin Zhixing and has liked him for eighteen years.
"Did you guys watch "Rap Me The Best" last night?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I really like the song "Eating Noodles with Big Mouths", it's so refreshing to listen to!"
"I like that, too!"
Wen Lei, holding a briefcase, watched several middle school students in front of him talking about rap, and curiously searched for the rap song they were talking about on his mobile phone.
He didn't click to listen, but just looked at the lyrics and frowned.
Then he quietly found the Bluetooth headphones, put them on his ears, opened Penguin Music, found "In the Name of the Father Live", clicked play, closed his eyes and listened quietly.
Listening to this song, the fatigue of the day gradually disappeared and the corners of my mouth slowly curled up.
He likes the "Live" version of this song because this concert includes his voice from seventeen years ago.
When I first heard this song, I thought it was the beginning of a new era of rap in the Chinese music scene, but I didn’t expect it to be the pinnacle of rap in the Chinese music scene.
Eighteen years ago, one person brought Chinese to the world stage. I thought Chinese would be so awesome eighteen years later. I didn’t expect that I was overthinking. The development of human civilization is a zigzag spiral, not a straight line.
"Behind the glory there is a loneliness engraved", doesn't this line of lyrics describe Oh Yeah Brother? Looking at the 21st century, Oh Yeah Brother is still the highest glory in the Chinese music scene!
"After so many years, there is no one left who can fight."
After listening to the song, Wen Lei opened Weibo and found "Fengqi Wutonglinzhixing" in the follow column, a Weibo account with more than 50 million fans.
The singer whose fans are second only to his, with 30 million fans, is also on Wen Lei’s follow list, and his account name is “Feng Qi Wu Tong Song Ge”.
His most recent Weibo post was posted a month ago, celebrating his youngest daughter’s 16th birthday. The family of four looked very warm at the dining table.
"Song Ge is so beautiful. She and my daughter are like sisters."
Wen Lei sat on Line 19, listening to songs from 18 years ago. He wanted to go home and open a bottle of 17-year-old Lafite. He said to the group of 16-year-old students, "In the Name of the Father is awesome. Oh yeah, it's awesome."
…
…
Early in the morning on the day of recording "I Am the King of Singers".
The two programs were running back-to-back. Lin Zhixing finished recording the programs last night and went to bed early when he came back. When he woke up, he found that Dong Chen was not in the room and the quilt was folded.
When I left the room, Song Ge was sitting on the sofa, holding a piece of lyrics paper in his hand and humming softly.
"Good morning, pigeon. Where's Xiaodong?"
Lin Zhixing wiped his face with a towel and asked curiously.
Song Ge shook her head and said, "I don't know. Ji Yu didn't come back last night either."
"Oh, well, maybe I practiced singing all night."
Lin Zhixing nodded. He had just given them "Why Not" last night. They probably practiced too late and fell asleep in the practice room.
…
In the singing room.
"Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"I don't think it's a good time to meet your parents. Auntie thinks you're not doing your job properly and will probably be prejudiced against me."
"That's right. Let's wait a little longer and show them some results."
After Dong Chen and Ji Yu got the new song, they almost didn't sleep all night, and not just for practicing the song. Dong Chen's mother is coming to Shanghai tomorrow and wants to meet her son. He is a little confused about whether to introduce his girlfriend to his mother.
After discussing with Ji Yu.
Dong Chen didn't even have breakfast. After washing up, he left the hotel and took a taxi back to his home in Shanghai.
In a villa in Jinchen Villa District.
Dong Chen got out of the car, looked at the home he hadn't returned to for half a year, frowned, and rang the doorbell.
"The Master is back!"
Soon, the nanny opened the door, saw Dong Chen coming back, and pulled him in enthusiastically.
Dong Chen waved his hand and looked inside. "How many times have I told you not to call me that? Where is my mother?"
"On the second floor, the lady just got up."
"Auntie, please stop reading novels about overbearing CEOs."
Dong Chen curled his lips, changed his shoes, and hurriedly climbed up to the second floor. His mother had nothing else to talk to him about, but to criticize him and ask him to take over his father's company.
I have wasted too much time practicing singing and I have a competition in the evening. I am very anxious.
"mom!"
Dong Chen's mother was eating breakfast at this time. When she saw her son coming back, she smiled and said, "Hey, come and sit down. Have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
Dong Chen sat down patiently.
The two started arguing after just a few words, and just as Dong Chen expected, he started by criticizing himself for not doing his job properly.
"Mom, do you know who I'm hanging out with now? A genius, a musical genius! Sooner or later I'll be famous in the music industry."
"What kind of talent? I only know that eunuchs who mess around with the emperor lose their baskets and can't even find a wife."
Mother Dong patted her son on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Son, there is no way out if you hang around with others. Our family is big and powerful, and it's time for you to take over the family business."
Dong Chen pushed his mother's hand away and said, "Then why did you let me learn music?"
Dong's mother frowned and said, "It doesn't matter what you learn. You are going to take over the family business anyway. I let you learn music just to make you happy!"
Dong Chen's family is quite wealthy, but he doesn't want to rely on his family. If he wants, he can start his own record company. His father started a film company because of his hobby.
"Mom, for my happiness, please give me some more time, two years. If I can't make something of myself in two years, I will take over."
"One year. I only give you one year. You must adapt early. You also know the reason why your father was hospitalized last time."
"Well, one year is one year."
Dong Chen nodded in compromise, then picked up his mother's phone, downloaded a live broadcast app, and said, "Mom, I have a game at 8 o'clock tonight, I hope you can watch it."
