Chapter 236: Mute the world and listen to the sound of Guo Jiahe breaking through the defense
"Swoosh~"
Guo Jiahe, whose pain point was touched, became so angry that he said something harsh, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Oh? Are you in a hurry? Lin Zhixing looked at the taillights of the car, shrugged helplessly, opened the door and slowly got in.
Isn’t it just that the grades are two periods behind?
Is it embarrassing to lose to a music industry lyricist? He even threatened to withdraw from the competition if he lost. This guy is really petty! He has only been in the industry for a short time...
“I’m heading north”
"Leaving the season with you"
"You said you were tired"
"I can't fall in love with anyone anymore"
Lin Zhixing rolled down the window, started the car, held the steering wheel with one hand, and placed his other hand on the window like Fujiwara Takumi, humming "Due North" as he drove towards his destination.
Seeing that both cars had started, the director immediately arranged for the filming vehicle to follow.
There were walkie-talkies in both cars, so the simple chase scene went smoothly. The only thing that didn't go smoothly was the overtaking shot at the end. Although it was in the script, Guo Jiahe was very reluctant to be overtaken by Lin Zhixing.
…
"Okay, that's it!"
The director shouted "Cut" in the car, and Guo Jiahe reluctantly released the accelerator and slowly stopped the car.
Lin Zhixing followed closely behind, parked his car next to Guo Jiahe's car, rolled down the window, and shouted, "Hey! Captain Super July M!"
When Guo Jiahe heard Lin Zhixing's voice in the car, he frowned slightly, rolled down the window and looked at him with extreme disgust and impatience.
"You just left after you finished talking. I still have something to ask you."
Lin Zhixing pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You said that you would withdraw from the competition if you lose to me next time. Is it because you feel that you are best at the topic of 'singing and dancing', and if you lose again, you will have no hope of winning me in the future. Are you afraid that the longer you stay on this stage, the more embarrassed you will be, right?"
"you!"
Guo Jiahe frowned, his face turned red and white, and he glared at Lin Zhixing fiercely, opening and closing his mouth, not knowing how to refute.
I have indeed thought about this. If I can't even win on the topic I am best at, then there is really nothing I can do.
"well!"
Lin Zhixing shrugged his shoulders in a very annoying way and sighed, "But I understand you. You have a lot of idol baggage and you're afraid of losing face. If you participate in this show, your status will drop and you won't be valued by the agency. It doesn't matter, come to my company, I'll accept you!"
Every word was like a steel needle, piercing Guo Jiahe's pain point.
"You farted!"
Guo Jiahe's face turned red, and he was so angry that he cursed, "How do you know you're going to win next time? I was just teasing you! Not only will I win you next time, but I'll also win you in the next time, and the next time. Just get ready to get beaten..."
I don't want to listen, you bastard! After Lin Zhixing couldn't help but vent his anger, he rolled up the car window as if he hadn't heard anything, interrupted Guo Jiahe's spell, and drove away with his foot on the accelerator.
“Gosh, gosh, gosh!”
Guo Jiahe was so angry that he pounded the steering wheel. It was a happy thing for him to be chosen by Mercedes-Benz as a brand ambassador, but he didn't expect to be so angry.
…
"Okay, now let's take a close-up shot that matches the promotional song. Come on, strike a cool pose."
Lin Zhixing drove the car back to the starting point and followed the director's instructions to shoot the brand promotional song.
"Director, what about me?"
After Guo Jiahe came back, he saw Lin Zhixing busying around and had no filming arrangements on his side, so he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Your filming has just been completed, you can go back now."
After the director replied to Guo Jiahe, he went back to filming Lin Zhixing, "Hit the direction right here and show more of your side profile. It's very handsome!"
Guo Jiahe looked down at the expensive rented clothes on his body, widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "There are only three shots of me?"
"two!"
The director glanced back and corrected, "One is the scene of getting on the bus, and the other is the scene of shock and unwillingness after being overtaken."
Guo Jiahe: “…”
As a dog for the brand, he spent two years investigating before getting the endorsement contract. Even if he was dissatisfied, he dared not speak out. Finally, he left the filming location in frustration.
Lin Zhixing looked at Guo Jiahe's lonely back through the rearview mirror, and suddenly felt that this scene was particularly in line with the first line of the lyrics of "Heading North".
——The world in the rearview mirror is saying goodbye further and further away.
From this moment on, the gap between your world and mine is really getting bigger and bigger.
…
…
The next day, at 11:50 am.
The endorsement video was produced by the Mercedes-Benz brand on an expedited basis and will be released at 12 noon.
Lin Zhixing and Guo Jiahe, the two major spokespeople, have a huge influence on Weibo. When they heard that there would be a promotional song, the fans of both companies were very much looking forward to it and had been waiting on Mercedes-Benz's official Weibo early on.
[Congratulations to Lin Zhixing for becoming the global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz...]
At exactly 12 noon, the endorsement video was released on time.
Countless netizens clicked on the Weibo video at the first moment, and the strong rhythmic song "Drift" made the listeners' eyes light up.
Off screen.
Zhou Dan, the runner-up of "I Am the King of Rap", read Lin Zhixing's Weibo and heard that there was a fast rap song in the promotional song, so he clicked on the video immediately.
The entire song is composed entirely of electronic synthesized sounds. The arrangement is not complicated, but it is very pleasant and catchy.
"Find a pen and write a diary to record your courage"
"I can throw my fists against the wall and rebel"
The prelude was very nice, and Zhou Dan listened to the lyrics of the song carefully.
Ignite, continue, matter, honor, I have no interest in anything other than being the first, I drink quietly, laugh easily, the lyrics are casual and freehand, and the intuitive feeling they bring is cool, a coolness that goes deep into the bone marrow.
"It's so pretty, so pretty~"
The chorus is very memorable. After listening to the whole song, Zhou Dan felt that it had completed its commercial mission and was quite innovative compared to previous similar works.
The strength is still there, but I feel it still cannot surpass "In the Name of the Father".
In the video, Zhou Dan was not very interested in the scene of Lin Zhixing and Guo Jiahe racing, so he skipped to the second song "All the Way North".
He gave a huge thumbs up to the prelude of this song.
It starts with a violent throttle sound.
If you put on headphones and listen to the lossless audio, you can clearly feel the car speeding from far to near, and you can even identify the distance between the car and your ears through your ears.
This kind of opening prelude is a typical way to introduce the prelude by borrowing objects, such as the sound of wind chimes in "Seven-mile Fragrance", the sound of insects in "Rice Fragrance", and the sound of horse hooves in "Above the Moon"...
This method can simply and crudely match the theme of the song at the first moment, and can quickly bring the audience into the picture created by the song.
“He really likes writing songs like this!”
Zhou Dan smiled and continued listening.
After the sound of the car driving ends, the drum set starts straight away, and it's a sad and helpless love song with a rock feel.
"The World in the Rearview Mirror"
"Farewell is getting farther and farther away"
"Your profile is still beautiful when you turn around."
"I followed you with my eyes and heard your tears"
After listening to just a few words, Zhou Dan widened his eyes in surprise.
He didn't expect that Lin Zhixing's singing skills had improved so much not long after he won the title of "Rap King".
Strong, pharyngeal, marginal head voice...
He didn't seem to have this kind of singing skill before. Can an adult singer learn and improve so quickly? This speed of improvement is like absorbing the abilities of other singers! "The street scene keeps going backwards"
"Your collapse is in pieces outside the window"
Zhou Dan likes the lyrics of this song very much.
Every word of the lyrics reflects the author's helplessness, sadness, self-blame, shame, regret and other emotions, and shows the reluctance to leave, as if one is really there.
"I head north to leave the season with you"
"You said you were so tired that you couldn't fall in love with anyone anymore"
"The wind blows through the mountain road, and all the past scenes are my fault"
"I am ashamed to count the times I have hurt you"
After listening to the chorus of the song, Zhou Dan couldn't help but applaud and had to admire Lin Zhixing's writing style.
Although the song is not complicated and gorgeous, nor is it overly plain and straightforward, it is the kind of words that flow naturally from the heart and can easily immerse the listeners in it.
He is also very good at depicting the characters' moods. Just a few light strokes can fully capture the characters' inner ups and downs.
"I head north to leave the season with you"
"My regrets are spinning around the steering wheel"
“I accelerated to overtake but could not shake off the sadness that followed closely”
When Zhou Dan heard this, he took out his calculator and pressed the number "6" three times.
——I accelerated to overtake, but I couldn't shake off the sadness that followed closely! This line in the chorus can be called a golden phrase of the song, which directly raised the emotions of the audience.
"I am ashamed to count the times I have hurt you"
"Stop being embarrassed and let the mistakes be pure"
The song ends in a mediocrity and ends in sadness.
“It’s so well written!”
Zhou Dan thinks that this song "All the Way North" can be called the king of road songs. It is different from ordinary road songs and his writing is very special.
Ordinary road songs make people shake their heads and bodies to follow the beat and hum, "I have crossed mountains and seas, and also walked through mountains and seas of people"...
The cool thing about this song is that it doesn't make people want to sing along.
Because when you listen to it while driving, you will automatically put yourself into the song. It seems that every time you step on the accelerator and turn, it is accompanied by the listener's past emotional scars.
Awesome! That's awesome!
As expected of you !!!
After the Mercedes-Benz endorsement video was released, two of them were on the hot search list.
[Lin Zhixing is the global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz, Guo Jiahe is the brand ambassador...]
After watching the Mercedes-Benz endorsement video, Guo Jiahe's female fans were collectively devastated and even started to abuse Mercedes-Benz's official Weibo.
[Why do you only give my Golden Harvest two shots? Do you have eyes? Do you understand aesthetics? He is so handsome! I will never buy a Mercedes-Benz in the future! ]
There were many such remarks made by little fairies, and male netizens could not stand it anymore and started to confront them.
"Damn, this punch takes 50 years of hard work, most people can't withstand it."
"I give up. Just because you're handsome, you can get more screen time? Oh Yeah is a global spokesperson. Just this alone makes your brother look like a nobody. Don't you understand?"
"I am so fucking amused. Someone on the homepage cursed at someone for slashing the back seat of his Yadi with a razor blade, and then said here that he would never buy a Mercedes-Benz in his lifetime. Haha!"
"Come on, sister. Things change over time. I'm optimistic that you'll slap him in the face in the future. Hahaha!"
The heated debate between male and female netizens was so intense that the topic topped the hot search list.
The number one on the hot search list is about the song "All the Way North". The song "Drift" is not very popular, and the praise is focused on the nice "prelude".
[Listen to "All the Way North". It's not a pity to take the wrong bus or miss the bus. What's a pity is that you didn't reach the destination. ]
“I’m so proud of myself, my driver’s license was easily revoked! I give 88 points to Brother Oh Ye for this song, and 12 points to the traffic police!”
"I'm working in a garment factory. I put on my earplugs, played this music, and smiled. Because I know this month's best employee award is mine again. Don't ask me why. The sewing machine pedal under my feet has started to smoke!"
"Morning: Haha!"
“Noon: Haha!”
"At night: I head north, leaving the season with you."
"I think the cool thing about Oh Ye Ge's songs is that I am single, but after listening to his songs, I feel like I'm in a passionate love relationship."
"Xiu'er! Man, after reading your comment, I want to hug you to sleep."
…
Off screen, in a room.
"I'm heading north, leaving the season with you~~"
Xiao Song is a loyal fan of Lin Zhixing and listened to the song "All the Way North" as soon as it was released. At this moment, he is recommending this song to others.
The person being recommended nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. I think this song is very nice. What's the name of the song?"
"'Go North'! What's so good about it? Can you analyze it for me?"
Seeing that Amway was successful, Xiao Song was in a good mood and asked with a smile, with his hands behind his back.
"It's hard for me. I can only listen, I can't analyze..."
"Okay, then let me analyze it for you. I'm a musician by profession."
Xiao Song showed a hint of pride and analyzed carefully: "The beauty of this song is that racing is a great way to vent the emotions of a broken heart! What's the saddest part of the whole song? It's actually the first sound of the prelude - step on the accelerator!"
"If you don't believe me, try driving when you're heartbroken. When you step on the accelerator, what you drive away is not RMB, but all the grievances and sadness. Then you get caught speeding, and tears flow. The sadness reaches its limit!"
"Well, that's very well said!"
The traffic policeman Xiao Wang, who was being recommended by the salesperson across the table, gave a thumbs up and said, "I have been a traffic policeman for ten years, and this is the first time I have heard someone give such a refreshing and refined reason for speeding!"
"6 points deducted, 200 yuan fine!"
…
The endorsement video went viral on Weibo.
One of the parties involved, Guo Jiahe, has locked himself in the room since yesterday. For the first time, he dared not read any news about himself, fearing that his fans would be disappointed in him.
The other side.
Dong Chen and Lin Zhixing excitedly introduced the hot search about Guo Jiahe’s failure.
Lin Zhixing, who was reading the feedback on the song "All the Way North", didn't care at all and made a gesture to keep quiet.
"Turn the world into silence and listen to the sound of Guo Jiahe breaking through his defense!"
