Chapter 218: Dark Curtain, Secret Collusion

Hearing the topic of "Homeland"...

All the singers were stunned for a moment. You looked at each other, your eyes rolling around, thinking about songs that fit the theme.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also typed the names of songs that fit the theme in their minds in the barrage, and for a while the barrage filled the screen.

"Great, this song selection is quite profound, I like it very much, I will definitely come next time!"

"'Chinese Army Soul'! I think it fits the song very well. Listening to this song makes my blood boil. I dreamt of the turning point of World War II, the Battle of Pinglang."

"It must be "Chinese" by the king of pop Tung Tak-wah, which sings out the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation!"

"I vote for Mr. Gao's "Great China", and I wish you the best without any words."

…

"Weiwei, what song do you think we should sing next time?"

Yu Jiang sighed lightly. This topic was even more difficult than the "Rock" one. Singing alone was not suitable for him who was good at sweet songs. It was more suitable for the singers in the national team.

He predicted that Wang Jiawei would definitely top the list in the next issue, and Fang Jian would be second.

Zhao Weiwei frowned slightly and shook her head, "I don't know, this topic is so difficult to choose. There are only a few good songs that fit this topic, and so many people might choose the same ones!"

Guo Jiahe frowned, staring at the box containing the topic, and cursed in his heart, "Damn, who wrote this crappy topic!"

Fang Jian, who won first place in this issue, stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

When it comes to choosing songs for the topic of “Home and Country”, it can be said that any word related to the topic will fit the theme. Songs about “country” are easy to think of, but I can’t think of any songs about “home” at the moment.

At this moment, not only could he not think of it, but the comments in the live broadcast room were all filled with songs with the Chinese character "国".

“It’s really hard for me…”

When Iijima Ran learned about this topic, her eyes became dull and she looked a little emo.

In fact, she will be at a real disadvantage in the next concert, as she can only sing songs about "home". If she sings about "country", she may be eliminated inevitably, and she may even lose the Chinese music market.

"Director Hong, I have a question!"

Wang Jiawei suddenly raised her hand and asked Hongbo curiously: "I think the probability of us choosing the same song for this type of song might be a bit high. What if we choose the same song?"

“That’s a good question.”

After thinking for a moment, Hong Bo replied with a smile: "Everyone tell me the songs you want to sing in three days. If there is a conflict in the song, we will draw lots to choose the singer."

When the singers heard this answer, they all rolled their eyes at Hong Bo.

now.

The least flustered singer was Lin Zhixing. He had already completed the task of being the top three as announced by the system, and was leaning on the sofa with a relaxed look on his face, playing with his bracelets.

Is it difficult to choose a song for the next episode? Don’t panic, here comes the song!!! [Ding! ]

[The medium difficulty system task has been completed, and the song selection is complete. Congratulations to the host for winning the song "Homeland"! ]

The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.

This is a song that fits the word "home" in the theme of "home and country".

"Homeland" is a song sung by legendary singers Liu Huan and Song, and was used in the 2008 New Year's drama "Crossing the Guandong".

Crossing Guandong, going west, and going to Southeast Asia are the three stages of population migration.

This TV series can be regarded as one of the ceilings of domestic TV series.

Lin Zhixing's top three domestic TV series, excluding the old versions of the four great classics, are top 1 "Kangxi Dynasty", top 2 "Crossing the Guandong", and top 3 "My Captain, My Regiment".

"Crossing the Guandong" achieved amazing ratings. It was a show that the whole family watched together. It is full of memories.

This theme song "Homeland" also pioneered the combination of folk songs and rap.

"The moon is bright and the wind is calm"

"The leaves cover the window lattices"

"The crickets are chirping"

"Like the sound of a harp string"

The combination of Teacher Song's Northeastern Lullaby and Teacher Liu Huan's rap is so pleasant to the ears that it is like the sound of nature. This is also the first time that Teacher Liu Huan has tried the rap style in his singing career.

"Pigeon, next time it's your turn!"

Lin Zhixing looked at Song Ge who was adjusting her skirt beside him, smiled, and said in his heart.

Folk songs are Song Ge's forte and he can fully handle the part of Teacher Song. Rap ​​of Teacher Liu Huan is also his forte, and there will definitely be sparks in the next episode.

At present, I have created two musical precedents.

Folk song combined with rap = "Rice Fragrance".

Rock combined with Errenzhuan = "Xian'er".

The next issue will be - folk song combined with rap = "Homeland".

Wow, so cool!!! …

Is it difficult to choose a topic about "homeland"? Not true!

Dong Chen and Ji Yu were also not worried, because they had Lin Zhixing, a man who could be called a walking music library, so choosing topics about family and country would be no problem for them.

【bite!】

[Cumulative tasks have been completed (9), congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Country"! ]

The system prompt sounded again, and all memories about the song were retrieved.

I really want to eat ice and hail.

After sending a song about "home", here comes another song about "country".

The song "Country" was sung by Jackie Chan and singer Liu Yuanyuan and was performed on the 2017 Spring Festival Gala.

"A jade mouth is China, a tile roof is a home..."

The sign language dance of the song was very popular at that time.

Many colleges and universities across the country were required to practice the hand gesture dance of this song during military training.

Lin Zhixing felt that this song was a very appropriate gift.

I have a song now, and it is difficult to choose a song to sing for Dong Chen and Ji Yu. Because this kind of song is more suitable for national team players to sing, and it is not easy.

This song is relatively easy to sing and does not require too many singing skills. It is fine to sing it with a patriotic heart.

…

The topic selection was announced, and after Hong Bo’s closing remarks, the live recording of the seventh episode (Part 1) of “I Am the King of Singers” ended.

"Jiahe, come with me."

Hong Bo stopped Guo Jiahe who was putting on his coat and about to leave.

"What's wrong, Director Hong? If you have something to say, just talk about it here. I'm in a hurry."

Guo Jiahe was overtaken by Lin Zhixing in online popularity. He was so annoyed that he wanted to curse at any dog ​​that passed by. He was in no mood to pay attention to the mysterious Hong Bo.

"Five minutes. It will take up at most five minutes of your time."

Hong Bo knew that he was in a bad mood, so he coaxed him into his office, sent the staff away and closed the door.

"Giant Harvest."

Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Hong Bo did not keep him in suspense and asked directly: "Are you confident of winning the next issue of the family and country topic?"

What a big hammer! Upon hearing this topic, Guo Jiahe was furious and frowned, saying, "Director Hong, who wrote this topic? It's so abstract. I really want to hammer him!"

"cough."

Hong Bo scratched his head awkwardly, smiled and raised his eyebrows and asked: "How about you hit me a couple of times to vent your anger?"

Guo Jiahe: “…”

If you weren't the director, I'd really like to beat you to death! "It's like this..."

Hong Bo touched his nose and said with some difficulty: "We agreed before that if you come to participate in this program, I will always ensure that you will be in the top three, right?"

"Um."

Guo Jiahe nodded.

Seeing that he looked a bit strange, she vaguely sensed something and her sensitive nerves were immediately stimulated. She frowned and asked, "Director Hong, do you think Lin Zhixing is more popular than me now? Do you want to go back on your word?"

"Okay, then I'll withdraw from the competition!"

After saying this, he was about to leave with a red face.

"No, Jiahe, I didn't. I definitely didn't mean that."

Hong Bo held his arm and tried to persuade him, "The popularity of I Am the King of Singers is definitely due to your contribution, Jia He. I, Hong Bo, will never do such a wicked thing as to abandon you after you have done your job."

Calling me a donkey? Guo Jiahe turned around and glared at me.

Hong Bo also realized that his analogy just now was not appropriate, and quickly changed the subject: "Jia He, don't be sensitive, I have something to discuss with you, let's sit down and talk."

He pulled Guo Jiahe to sit on the sofa, poured two more cups of tea, rubbed his temples, and sighed: "As the director of this program, I also have my difficulties. Especially after this program became popular, I am under a lot of pressure now."

"Just tell me what you think!"

Guo Jiahe didn't want to listen to his long-winded complaints, and said impatiently.

"good."

Hong Bo pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "The audience has sharp eyes. If you don't perform well on this family and country topic, I will rank you in the top three, which may affect the reputation of the program. Put yourself in their shoes, I think you should understand."

Guo Jiahe was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Director Hong, have you ever done anything behind the scenes for me?"

Hong Bo nodded, "In fact, we haven't been in the top three since the last issue..."

Just a few words, like a bucket of cold water poured over one's head.

"But Jiahe, I believe in your ability."

Hong Bo patted Guo Jiahe's shoulder who was lost in thought and said comfortingly: "You didn't perform very well because the topic selection is not your forte. How about this? Although I can't guarantee that you will be in the top three next time, I can guarantee that the topic selection next time is what you want."

He said it very cleverly, first praising Guo Jiahe and making it difficult for him to refuse the offer. If he refused, it would be a self-denial of his own ability, and he believed that Guo Jiahe would agree.

"You mean... I will decide the topic for the next issue?"

Guo Jiahe was really moved after hearing this. He was proud and confident in his own abilities. If there was a topic suitable for him, he believed he could get first place.

His withdrawal just now was just an angry remark. He himself could not accept the result of withdrawing after ranking behind Lin Zhixing.

"Yes."

Seeing that he was interested, Hong Bo smiled and nodded, "I can make all the topics in the box the same, and you can pick any one you want."

It's not the finals yet, and it's not a big problem to fall out of the top three in one episode. The director has already said this much, and it would be tactless to continue to twist it.

"Okay, thank you Director Hong."

Guo Jiahe picked up the teacup with a smile and handed it to Hong Bo with both hands.

"Lin Zhixing, I will get back what I lost sooner or later. Wait for me next time!"

…

…

Ten o'clock at night.

In the hotel room.

After washing up, Lin Zhixing lay comfortably on the bed humming a tune and checking Weibo to see feedback on his songs.

[Interlude ceiling "It's a pity there is no if", there is no one who can beat it! 】

This Weibo post received over 50,000 likes and the topic sparked heated discussions among netizens.

"I was just about to curse, but after listening to you, I think you're right!"

"There really isn't a single one that can fight, this song's interlude is invincible!"

"Don't speak too soon. I think the best song of Oh Ye Ge is always the next one!"

Can speak!

Lin Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth, and then clicked on the hot search of "Winter's Secret". The hot search of this song ranked above "It's a pity there is no if".

[How can there be no regrets? Listen to "Winter's Secret" and feel the unspoken love! ]

“A masterpiece that allows you to experience the meaning of classics and pay tribute to our most passionate youth. We will never forget the people we miss.”

"I cried after hearing this. No one liked me, and no one confessed to me. My youth was ordinary."

"Oh yeah, it's so well written, I seriously doubt this song is his autobiography!"

Defamation! There are a lot of comments on this topic, and maybe this song can resonate more with netizens.

Browse through the song feedback.

Lin Zhixing edited a Weibo post and sent it out.

[If you want to know more about the story of crossing Guandong, welcome those whose ancestors crossed Guandong to leave your story in the comment section. ]

Lin Zhixing thinks that the next time he sings, he should play a video to accompany the performance, so that the song can be more immersive.

It is most appropriate to splice the video content with the story of Crossing the Guandong.

…

…

The next morning.

Peking High-speed Railway Station, inside the waiting room.

After recording "I Am the King of Singers", I have four days of rest.

Song Ge called his grandmother the day before yesterday and learned that she had a bad cold. He was a little worried about her being alone, so he decided to go home to check on her.

Lin Zhixing didn't have any work to do, and his mother often complained about him not going home, so he also planned to go back home.

"Zhixing, it's still early. Give me your ID card and I'll go get the ticket."

"What do you want to take it for?"

The two bought their tickets online and were able to enter the station simply by swiping their ID cards.

"I want a paper ticket..." Song Ge pursed his lips.

"Ask the company for reimbursement?" Lin Zhixing asked curiously.

"Yeah, that's right."

The two of them went to the ticket machine together. As soon as they got the tickets, Song Ge curled up the corners of his lips. He grabbed two tickets and put them in the compartment of his small wallet.

…

The train is coming.

"Here it is! Sit inside."

The two of them bought seats D and F. After Song Ge sat down, he was surrounded by Lin Zhixing. There were no strangers around, so he felt very comfortable.

As soon as Lin Zhixing sat down, he took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo, wondering if the comments from netizens were enough to support the background video of the song.

There were several thousand comments on Weibo, which was quite unexpected.

[My ancestors went to Peking after crossing the Guandong Pass but got too lazy to leave, so they settled down in the wilderness. Peking in the 1800s was a very good place to settle down.]

[My ancestors were hardworking and worked their way to Hegang, Heilongjiang. Although it was far away, the housing prices were low! I cried my heart out.]

[My ancestors also went to Beijing and lived there for two years. In the end, they really wanted to explore the rich black soil in the Northeast, so they resolutely gave up their Beijing hukou...]

Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head.

Everything is fate!

"Zhixing, did you tell your aunt when you went home today?" Song Ge asked curiously, looking at Lin Zhixing who was grinning foolishly while browsing Weibo.

"No."

Lin Zhixing shook his head, turned to look at Song Ge, suddenly remembered something, closed Weibo, and dialed his mother's number.

The call was connected quickly.

"Hello, Mom."

"What's wrong, son? Is there something wrong when you call me so early?"

"Nothing else, just letting you know in advance that I'm taking my girlfriend home today."
