Chapter 253 Oh no, I became Charlotte!
“Cough cough cough…”
Faced with the sudden system task, Lin Zhixing, who had not yet recovered from his shock, choked on a mouthful of water.
The temptation is increased again? In fact, the two advantages that Dong Chen just mentioned did not impress Lin Zhixing to the extent of making an immediate decision.
When assisting in "I Am the King of Singers", one must also consider whether the song is suitable. It is not necessarily necessary for Yehlana Ying to assist in the performance. Everything is unknown.
As for reputation, as a singer, one should let his works speak for himself instead of deliberately doing things to please netizens.
At this stage, it is not the unknown first stage, and the rewards for system tasks are not a necessity.
The idea that really gave Lin Zhixing the idea of assisting in the performance came two minutes ago.
After witnessing the performances of those two powerful foreign Grammy-winning singers, his desire for challenge was aroused.
If I can beat them, not only will my popularity increase, but it will also be beneficial for me to expand my overseas markets. With the "song selection card", I will be fully capable of fighting.
"Dong, I've made up my mind!"
Lin Zhixing placed the water cup heavily on the office and said in a firm tone.
"join?"
Dong Chen asked expectantly.
"Um."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded. "If I can beat a Grammy singer, I'm equal to a Grammy singer. If I can't beat them, I'm just a backup singer, so the blame will be on Sister Ying. So I'm not at a loss anyway."
"That's right."
Dong Chen raised his thumbs with both hands, "I believe you, Brother Lin. I will go and communicate with the production team now."
"OK!"
…
…
Twelve o'clock noon.
Good luck in the office.
“Slurp~~”
Lin Zhixing held the bowl and slurped the tasteless noodles, complaining as he ate: "Noodles are not delicious without good sauce. Even with good sauce, it's a waste."
Song Ge rolled her eyes at him and threw a clove of garlic into his bowl. "Just eat it. Eating takeout all the time is not healthy."
Ji Yu slurped noodles with gusto while checking his phone. "Wow, the popularity of the show 'Top Singer' has really exploded in the past two days! Brother Lin and Guo Jiahe even posted on Weibo to take advantage of the popularity."
"What's that?"
Lin Zhixing raised his head and asked vaguely while chewing noodles.
Ji Yu flipped over the phone and said, "Anyway, the implication is that as long as the production team invites him, he will definitely be on the show. I think the production team will definitely not invite him, and Sister Ying will definitely not like him. He is just showing his determination to win the favor of a wave of female fans."
"He knows how to market to female fans. Has anyone criticized him?"
"Well, there is one with a sharp tongue."
Ji Yu smiled and nodded, saying: "Don't invite him. He came with nuclear weapons. You took out a... firecracker from your pocket?"
"Hahaha, this description is a bit funny!"
Ji Yu covered his mouth and laughed, "I say, why don't they invite me to go? It would be shameful for those foreigners to win."
While talking and laughing, Dong Chen pushed open the door of the office and walked in with a grin, "Brother Lin, the production team over there saw that you are interested and are willing to pay you 400,000 yuan for assisting in two episodes. Sister Hui has already negotiated with them."
"Also, Sister Ying was very pleased to learn that you were willing to help out. She is in Xiangcheng now, and she wanted to ask if you have time during your lunch break today to chat with you via video."
Lin Zhixing nodded, "Okay, let's finish our meal. You're almost done eating too."
"good."
Dong Chen rolled up his sleeves and scooped a bowl of noodles. While mixing the noodles, he suddenly remembered, "By the way, Deng Xiaoyu and Mao Nan know you're coming to the show, so let me say hello to you on their behalf."
When Lin Zhixing watched the recording before, he saw them participating, "What were their rankings in the last episode?"
Dong Chen said: "Deng Xiaoyu ranked fourth behind Sister Ying, and Mao Nan ranked seventh. To be honest, Mao Nan sang well, but the song was not suitable for competition singing, and it was not exciting."
Lin Zhixing nodded and asked curiously, "Do you know who will be the supporting performers for those two foreign singers?"
Dong Chen shook his head. "I'm not sure. They come here to make money. I think it's unlikely that they will invite foreign singers. Maybe the program team will help them find someone. It's more likely that they will find domestic singers."
That's true.
The champion of "I Am a Singer" in the previous life, Sister Jie Shi, invited Coco Lee to perform with her.
Lin Zhixing raised his lips, put down his chopsticks and said, "You're right. Now that netizens are recruiting people everywhere, if a famous singer assists a foreigner, he will definitely be criticized. The singer who assists them will not be very strong."
"Come on, Brother Lin!"
…
Twenty minutes later...
Lin Zhixing sat at his desk and asked Dong Chen to make a video call.
The call was connected quickly. In the video, Yehlana Ying was wearing sportswear and no makeup on. She had just got off the treadmill and her forehead was covered with sweat.
"Hello Sister Ying, I'm Lin Zhixing!"
Lin Zhixing smiled and greeted the screen.
Yehenalaying wiped her sweat and waved with a smile, "Hello Xiaolin, although this is the first time I meet you, I often see your news on the Internet. I like you and your partner Song Ge very much."
"Thank you, Sister Ying."
"I really like the songs you wrote, especially the one you wrote two days ago, "Because of Love", the lyrics are so good!"
After a few polite words, we didn't talk too much about the show. We just wanted to get to know each other first.
During the chat, she didn't have any airs of a diva. She spoke freely and said whatever she wanted to say. Lin Zhixing preferred this way of communication as it didn't require him to guess and the exchange was not tiring.
“I hope that with your help, our cooperation can create sparks, improve our rankings, and beat the foreigners!”
Lin Zhixing waved his hand and said, "Sister Ying, you are too kind. What help? I was just going to study."
"I wish you a pleasant cooperation in advance!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Lin Zhixing just hung up the video call...
【bite!】
[Special mission completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Meet in 1998" and a song selection card! ]
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.
As a member of the 1996 golden generation, Lin Zhixing did not have a very deep impression of this 1998 song.
This song was sung by two divas, Faye Wong and Na Ying. It first appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage. It was a special day. Faye Wong is a singer from Hong Kong and Na Ying represents the mainland. The collaboration between the two was very meaningful, symbolizing peace, prosperity and common development.
The song is really nice to listen to. It is a collision of penetrating power and layers. No one can cover the other's voice, like the chords of a zither. Without either one, the song would not be so popular.
It is said that after this song became popular, many bars called "Meet Bar" appeared all over the country.
Lin Zhixing really became familiar with this song through the movie "Charlotte's Troubles". Charlotte and a Na Ying imitator sang this song on the Spring Festival Gala stage and became an instant hit.
Oh no, I’m Charlotte!
…
…
The next morning.
Yida Records, Good Luck Studio.
"Hey Whataya you want from me~~"
Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. After breakfast, Lin Zhixing connected his speakers and played the representative works of two powerful singers who participated in the "Singer's Top" program, while listening to the songs and checking Weibo.
The number one on today’s hot search list is also about the show “The Top Singer”.
[I am Han Chunhong, a Chinese singer. I want to challenge you! ]
The national team players applied to compete, and the topic became a hot topic, with netizens excited.
[Han Chunhong: Yingzi, I know you want to be famous, but from now on, you don’t need to be famous, because your fame has come! The CP name is: Chai Na Hong! ]
[I cried. Sister Hong has been at the forefront of disaster relief for so many years! ]
【Chinese singers over 50 years old, come out! 】
[I am touched. The last person who volunteered to fight at the age of 50 was Mu Guiying.]
【I saw a military post last night, and netizens were recruiting soldiers. There are twelve volumes of military books, and my name is in every volume. The actors have no talent, and the singers have no schedule. I am willing to be a market horse, and I will go to war again in the fifty days.】
The second most searched topic is a list of people who can beat foreign singers.
There are a total of 20 singers on the list, and the second to last one has four big characters written on it: “Feng Qi Wutong”.
"Good."
Lin Zhixing scanned the hot search list and opened his Weibo. As a joke teller, he hadn't answered questions from netizens for a long time.
[Oh yeah, Zhang San raped a girl on the street. I asked Zhang San if I could join in. He said yes, so I raped Zhang San. Am I breaking the law?]
The Q&A is still so exciting! After a brief thought, Lin Zhixing typed a line of words in reply.
[1 Zhang San volunteered. 2 There was also a female witness. 3 No money was exchanged. Not guilty.]
“Brother Lin!”
The office door was pushed open, and Dong Chen walked in with a smile, "I'm back from spying on the enemy. I just finished talking to Sister Hui and got a lot of inside information."
Lin Zhixing put down his phone and said, "Okay, share it."
"The supporting singers for the two foreign singers have been decided, and they are both domestic singers as expected."
Dong Chen sat down on the desk and pointed at his phone, saying, "It's confirmed. The singer who will be supporting Adam is Zhang Wei."
"Who is Zhang Wei?"
"A singer who debuted through a talent show. He sang a cover song that became very popular. He often appears on music variety shows. He and Sister Ying are also a mentor and apprentice."
Lin Zhixing nodded and asked, "What about the other one?"
Dong Chen raised his voice and said, "The singer who assisted Shantimore is Alan Zhuoma."
"Who is Alan Zhuoma?"
"Alan is so amazing. She is one of the most underestimated singers. Her singing skills are amazing. But it's normal that you don't know her. She is not very popular in China, but she is very well-known in the island country."
Lin Zhixing was stunned and asked in surprise: "Using the Chinese national anthem to open up the island country market? So awesome?"
"No, no, she sang the island's national anthem. She is known as one of the nine great singers."
Dong Chen said with emotion: "It is actually quite difficult to open up foreign markets with songs in non-local languages. At this stage, only Taylor Swift from the United States can do it. If she is invited to participate in this program, Xiangcheng's GDP can increase by 5 percentage points."
Indeed, Chinese songs may be able to open up the Asian market, but it is impossible in Europe and the United States.
"Alan, is she going too?"
When Ji Yu heard the name, she stepped forward excitedly, "I like her very much, her singing ability is really amazing. She never took vocal lessons when she was on Sisters before, and she even said that she could teach that teacher. It's so funny! Brother Lin, please help me get an autographed photo from Sister Lan."
"Sure, sure."
Lin Zhixing asked curiously, "If they work together in pairs, which one has the strongest combined strength?"
"Hmm... this question is difficult for me."
Dong Chen stroked his chin, thought for a while, and predicted: "Adam's strength may be a little higher than Shantimore, and Alan Zhuoma's strength is much higher than Zhang Wei, so if we combine them together, it should be the combination of Shantimore and Alan that is more powerful."
"By the way, Han Chunhong has also been invited to help out. Because you and Sister Ying have agreed in advance, the program team plans to arrange for her to help out Deng Xiaoyu. Sister Hong is a national team player, and she is just as strong as Sister Ying. The two even competed at the awards ceremony in the early years."
Lin Zhixing nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Another big name in the music industry has appeared. If we can establish a good relationship with her in the future, we can also try to invite her to co-star in "I Am the King of Singers".
"Also, the production team also asked you to post a Weibo to promote the show. Just post 'Please join the show'. When the production team officially announces you, it will be like having two waves of popularity."
“6!”
Lin Zhixing would never have thought that traffic could be used in this way. It really broadened his horizons.
Dong Chen was silent for a moment, then he smiled and scratched his head, "Brother Lin, Ji Yu and I will not accompany you on this trip to Xiangcheng. First, we have work to do here, and second, Ji Yu and I plan to meet our parents in the next few days."
Lin Zhixing smiled and patted his shoulder. "It's so sudden. I didn't hear you say that before. Meeting the parents-in-law will cause trouble. Don't drink. You will make a fool of yourself if you drink."
"Oh!"
Dong Chen's face flushed red, he slapped his thigh, and said very embarrassedly: "We are all family, so I won't hide it. Ji Yu... is pregnant."
After hearing this, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge widened their eyes in disbelief and glanced at Ji Yu, whose face was flushed.
Xiao Dong, who lives with me every day and is inseparable from me, actually...
What should I say now? Congratulations?
…
One hour later...
After chatting with Dong Chen and Ji Yuchang, Lin Zhixing edited a Weibo post and sent it out as arranged by the program team.
[I am Chinese singer Lin Zhixing, I apply to participate! ]
After this Weibo post was published, it quickly topped the trending search list and sparked heated discussions among netizens.
"@Singer's Peak Official Weibo, please invite Oh Ye Ge to come and write a song to compete with them. He can also write in English. He is the man who wrote "See You Again."
"If it's Brother Oh Ye, I really think there's a chance. I can shock them with the Sanskrit sound!"
…
【bite!】
【The scenario has been triggered.】
[Congratulations to the host for winning the song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall"! ]
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.
Lin Zhixing put down his cell phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looked at the tallest building within his sight, took a deep breath, and sang in a passionate and powerful voice.
“This is a country where everyone is a soldier”
"Robbers have always wanted to invade"
“You will eventually die”
"Beautiful mountains and rivers with cascading peaks and ridges"
“Ask me how the music industry looks like a disease”
