Chapter 117 A Song for You
In a hotel in Beijing.

Zhou Mo was wearing headphones and listening to the songs sent to her by the composers of Yehua Entertainment.

"dengdengdeng~"

Listening to the song coming from the headphones, she couldn't help but hum along with the melody.

The song I'm currently listening to is pretty good. Both the style and the lyrics make people feel sad, and the melody is also very good.

However, what Zhou Mo likes most is the particularly strong sense of picture. The lyrics vividly describe the various psychological activities of a man who attends his ex-girlfriend's wedding banquet.

After listening to the whole song, Zhou Mo still felt like she wanted more.

Her eyes sparkled as she said, "This song 'Pu Tong Leaves' is not only depressing, but also contains a strong sense of regret. It's a great song!"

At this point, Zhou Mo sighed, frowned slightly, and had a very conflicted expression on her face: "It's a pity that the perspective of this song is on boys. If I were to sing it, the audience would definitely feel weird."

"But there is no song more suitable than "Putong Leaves" at the moment! Am I going to stop here?"

Zhou Mo lay on the back of the chair, brows furrowed, feeling unwilling.

Her thoughts now were like a tangled mess, impossible to cut or sort out.

Seeing her struggling, her manager Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "We have already recorded three episodes of I Am a Singer, plus there will be another episode next week, which means it is four episodes. It is already very good to be able to stay on this show for four episodes."

The program "I Am a Singer" is full of big names, and because of the special rules set by the program team, singers who are not particularly strong are usually eliminated after recording one or two episodes.

According to Zhou Ziwen's expectations, it would be very good for Zhou Mo to stay in this program for three episodes, and the fourth episode would be a pleasant surprise.

So, her mentality is very good.

Before participating in the show "I Am a Singer", Zhou Mo actually thought the same.

The requirements are not high, just “survive” three stages.

But now that she has "survived" to the fourth period, she is wondering if she can make it to the next period.

But the topic she drew, "Depression," really stumped her.

"Fourth phase..."

Zhou Mo sighed, "Before I went on the show, I thought it was difficult. After I went on the show, I felt that it was not that difficult. But when I think about going further, it seems like there is a huge chasm between us."

"This is so difficult!" Zhou Mo lay on the table, a little emo.

Before she even started singing the song with the theme of "Depression", she felt like she was about to get depressed.

"Relax." Zhou Ziwen came to Zhou Mo and rubbed her shoulders.

"Sister Ziwen, do you think I should just sing "Wutong Leaves"?"

Zhou Mo twisted her neck and said, "I just thought about it. The lyrics of 'Wutong Leaf' don't necessarily have to be about a boy attending his ex-girlfriend's wedding. It could also be about a girl attending her ex-boyfriend's wedding. After all, there is no clear gender reference in the lyrics of this song."

"Yeah, that's okay too."

Zhou Ziwen nodded, "But I still suggest you not to make a decision so early. Sister Wei has already told me that she will go to Bai Xingjian to ask if he has any songs that are more [depressing], so you should wait a little longer."

"Bai Xingjian?!"

Hearing this name, Zhou Mo immediately stood up from the table, her eyes brightened: "Bai Xingjian from Phoenix Flying?"

"Yes, it's him." Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile.

Of course, they were both quite familiar with Bai Xingjian, this incredible newcomer who was recently signed by Yehua Entertainment had extraordinary creative power.

"I've heard a lot of his songs."

Zhou Mo was excited at first, but then her mood gradually became depressed: "The songs written by Bai Xingjian are all of a grand and positive type. It seems that he has never written a sad song so far."

At this point, Zhou Mo shook her head at Zhou Ziwen: "Although his creative ability is very high and his music style is very wide, he probably doesn't have any songs of the "depressing" type. After all, Bai Xingjian doesn't look like a sentimental guy."

Zhou Ziwen nodded, somewhat agreeing with this statement, but she was more optimistic: "But it's not certain. Bai Xingjian is so powerful, what if he has it? So we should wait a little longer and not rush to make a decision."

"Ah."

Zhou Mo nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and at the same time, her heart suddenly became a little nervous.

It would be great if Bai Xingjian had it!
After all, this is a song written by Bai Xingjian!

Every song can become a hot search on Weibo!
If Bai Xingjian didn't have it, then she might be a little sad.

After all, the process of hope arising and then disappearing is still painful.

"Then when will we get news about them?" Zhou Mo asked with a nervous look.

"Sister Wei just returned to Linjiang this morning."

Zhou Ziwen hesitated for a moment and said, "If she takes this matter seriously, there will be news as early as this afternoon, or tomorrow. If she doesn't care about us, there may be no news at all."

The relationship between the two of them and Zheng Wei is not that close, they are just ordinary colleagues.

But just as he finished speaking, Zhou Ziwen's cell phone rang.

She quickly took out her cell phone and saw that it was Zheng Wei calling.

Zhou Ziwen signaled to Zhou Mo, then answered the call excitedly but nervously.

One minute later.

"Okay, Sister Wei, then you should have a good rest. I'm really sorry to bother you!"

"Okay, bye Sister Wei."

Zhou Ziwen hung up the phone with a look of joy on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, yes! Bai Xingjian has a song! And Sister Wei has already sent it to me!"

"Sister Wei is so nice!"

Zhou Ziwen sighed, then said to Zhou Mo: "I'll send the file directly to your computer."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Zhou Mo nodded rapidly, her face full of energy.

I finally feel at ease!
And before she even started listening to the song, she already felt stable.

Obviously, Zhou Mo is very confident about the quality of the songs written by Bai Xingjian.

"Let's listen together."

After receiving the file, Zhou Mo took off her headphones and turned the computer volume to loud.

Zhou Ziwen also sat next to Zhou Mo at this time.

In addition to being an agent, Zhou Ziwen is also Zhou Mo's cousin.

So the relationship between them is very harmonious.

“Is this the watermark of his song?”

“Hahaha, no wonder everyone calls him Yoyo-ge, it turns out his tag is ‘yoyo’.”

Zhou Mo and Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but smile when they heard the electronic synthesized sound before the song started.

Like the text watermark on a picture, some musicians also add watermarks to their songs in order to make the songs have their own unique characteristics. The watermark in the song is called a Beat tag, which can be understood as an anti-counterfeiting mark.

This situation is particularly common in the rap circle. Listeners who often listen to rap should be familiar with watermarks such as “Dao Dao Dao Dao Dao Dao”, “Mai”, and “K Eleven on the boat”.

When they heard the watermark, Zhou Mo and Zhou Ziwen had smiles on their faces, but as "Under the Sea" played, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

The 4 minute and 16 second song was finished very quickly.

When the song ended, Zhou Mo and Zhou Ziwen looked at each other and saw that each other's eyes had become moist.

Depressing, this song is so depressing.

Both the arrangement and the lyrics carry a strong sense of suffocation, making people sink to the bottom of the sea, so desperate that they cannot see a ray of sunshine.

"I forgot to tell you, Sister Wei said that this is a song written for people with depression." Zhou Ziwen said, pursing his lips.

She didn't know the weight of this sentence before, but after listening to the song "Under the Sea", she knew it, and she felt very upset.

"what?!"

Zhou Mo purred her nose and was quite surprised: "Then Bai Xingjian sang this song for me?"

Songs like this one, which are written for special people, have invaluable meaning, but Bai Xingjian actually took out this song to sing to her.

Does this guy really not take his own songs as songs?
"He said your voice is very suitable for this song." Zhou Ziwen quoted Zheng Wei's words.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Mo came out of the mood of "Under the Sea" and clenched her fists. "Then I will work hard and live up to his expectations!"

I want the song "Under the Sea"!

When it comes to the theme of "depression", it can be said that there is almost no comparison between other songs and this song.

……

It was noon in Linjiang City.

At the dining table in the hotel room, Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie gathered together again to eat lunch.

But it was quite quiet at this moment. Apart from the rustling sounds of chewing, there was no other sound.

"Sister Qi, are we still having crayfish tonight?"

At the quiet dinner table, Bai Xingjian suddenly asked.

From morning till now, the cheap sister hasn't said a word to him.

He just didn't believe it. How could he keep silent this time?

Feng Shiqi's action of picking up the food paused. She raised her head and glanced at him without saying anything. She just silently picked up the food and put it into her mouth, then bit it with her silver teeth, making a slightly crisp sound.

Bai Xingjian opened his eyes slightly, and knew when to stop, so he stopped talking and continued to concentrate on eating.

At this moment, Feng Shiqi spoke up: "What did Sister Wei want to talk to you about this morning?"

Mei Jie also looked over at this time.

Bai Xingjian confessed the truth: "There is a female singer in our company who is in need of a song of the "depressing" type. Sister Wei asked me if I had such a song, and I just happened to have one. It's that simple."

"Depressing?"

Mei Jie's eyes lit up, "Brother Xing Jian, the female singer you are talking about is not Zhou Mo, right?"

"Yes, it's her. How did you know?" Bai Xingjian asked curiously.

"Hehehe." Mei Jie said with a smile: "Because I am following the show "I Am a Singer"."

Hearing this, Feng Shiqi's puzzled look gradually became clear.

"So you took another song for someone else to sing?" She stared at Bai Xingjian, and the person she was looking for was a female singer.

But Feng Shiqi didn’t say the last sentence.

Bai Xingjian nodded, "If there is anything suitable, just bring it out. Besides, her singing of this song will be helpful to us as well."

As he was talking, Bai Xingjian started to talk about some things about the song "Under the Sea".

The biggest reason why he gave "Under the Sea" to Zhou Mo to sing was that after this girl sang it, if he and his cheap sister sang "Under the Sea" again, it would have the effect of Phoenix Legend singing "Under the Sea".

Because of the contrast, the audience can feel the emotions contained in the two songs more clearly.

Haidilao or Haidilao.

"Sister Qi, do you want to release a song? I have a song that's perfect for you to sing."

After telling the story of "Under the Sea", Bai Xingjian said to Feng Shiqi.

When he was resting last night, he added the attribute points he gained from completing the task to the basic attributes of [Breath] and [Articulation]. These two attributes were upgraded to C level.

became--

[(Basic) Breath: C (1/30)]

【(Basic) Articulation: C (1/30)】

Bai Xingjian obtained the song "Virtual" from the lucky wheel obtained from the upgrade of [Breath].

This is a song that is quite suitable for Cheap Sister to sing.

“No, I don’t want to release a song.”

Feng Shiqi shook her head and continued to pick up food with her chopsticks. "Save it for other women."

"Cough cough cough-"

Mei Jie, who was eating happily, choked. She glanced at Feng Shiqi secretly.

Why does this feel a bit resentful?
Bai Xingjian was speechless for a moment, his head twitched, and he said, "That song is prepared for you. No one else can sing it except you."

Feng Shiqi raised her head and looked at him, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "No."

"Okay, then I'll sing it for someone else. You don't want it anyway." Bai Xingjian said indifferently.

Hearing this, Mei Jie's eyes almost widened.

What are you two doing?

"You dare!" Feng Shiqi glared at Bai Xingjian.

Bai Xingjian smiled.

Then he was kicked.

"so?"

Mei Jie looked at the two of them and suddenly regretted coming here to eat for free.

But why is this kind of cool?

……

The meal was eaten at noon and the trending search was posted in the afternoon.

After fermenting for most of last night and this morning, various situations in the ninth episode of "The New Era of Heavenly Group" also made it to the hot search list.

【Wang Feng, Wen Suxi, He Ziling, and Li Zijun all lost! 】

This entry ranked first on the hot search list.

Fans from all walks of life were in an uproar over this Weibo post.

"What a joke. It's fine that He Ziling and Li Zijun lost, but even Wen Suxi and Wang Feng lost. The shady dealings of 'New Era of Heavenly Group' are too obvious. They don't care about their reputation anymore, do they?"

"What do you mean by 'It's OK if He Ziling and Li Zijun lose'? Can you translate it for me?"

"Fuck! Wang Feng actually lost. It's like a knife cutting his butt. I'm really surprised!"

"What kind of nonsense are these? It's obvious that someone who hasn't watched the live broadcast is talking nonsense here."

"Indeed, anyone who has watched the live broadcast and has a little bit of common sense would not say such a thing."

"Those who say shady things, how about I buy you a membership and wait for the edited version to come out on Wednesday so you can go and watch it?"

"These guests didn't use their best efforts, while the contestants all gave their all. It's normal for them to lose."

"Wang Feng's fans came forward to speak out. Although he lost by 1 vote, it was not unfair for Feng to lose."

"Wen Suxi's fans speak out..."

Among fans, there are fanatical fans and there are rational fans, just like there are all kinds of people in a circle.

【"Mountain and River Map" is a true Chinese style rap! 】

This entry ranked second on the hot search list.

Countless netizens commented on this Weibo post:
"Compared to this song, I can only say that our Su Xi deserved the loss."

"Brother Yoyo sings so many lyrics at once, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."

"Bai Xingjian's singing skills are simply amazing! When he raps, I can understand what he is singing without even looking at the lyrics. It's amazing! After listening to so many rappers, this is the first time I've heard someone with such clear pronunciation. I immediately paid close attention to him! He's so cool!!!"

"Just kidding, 'Chinese rap godfather' you thought."

"It's so funny. You can be called a godfather just by singing a few folk songs. How low is your aesthetic taste?"

"666, you actually said that Chinese style rap is folk songs? Wait until you get in and start sewing on the sewing machine!"

"This guy's profile picture is of a black man, and his homepage is full of English rap and solving crimes. He is a fake foreigner again."

"What's going on? We finally produced a high-quality Chinese style rap in the rap community, why are these fake foreigners showing up again?"

"These people who imitate and borrow from black culture and divert the trend of domestic rap are really stupid!"

"Hahaha, there is only this small piece of the cake in the domestic rap circle. When these fake foreigners see Yoyo brother coming to share the cake with authentic Chinese style rap, they must be unable to sit still and can only start to slander him, otherwise they won't be able to survive!"

"Brother Yoyo, come and make a cake in the rap circle!"

……

Bai Xingjian was browsing Weibo and almost laughed to death when he saw these comments.

Sure enough, the Chinese rap circle is all the same.

Some people treat traditional Chinese rap as folk songs, while others like to pretend to be foreigners.

The main reason is that the threshold for rap is relatively low.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t rhyme or think. As long as the internet speed is not 3G and you can translate into Chinese, you can become a rapper.

Then, something even funnier happened.

These rappers copy the rap styles of European and American black people and like to do Chinese rap. One of them says they can represent Chinese rap.

But many people took it seriously.

As a result, this circle became half rotten.

It’s hard to save him.

Bai Xingjian shook his head and continued to scroll down.

Then, the fifteenth item on the hot search list suddenly caught his attention.

【Topic selection system, Zhou Mo may be eliminated】

Bai Xingjian clicked on it and saw that many netizens who followed the show "I Am a Singer" were discussing it.

"[Depressing] theme, then Zhou Mo will be finished next weekend!"

"There is hope, but it's slim. It's more likely to be bad than good."

"The most difficult topic was picked by Momo. It's not because Momo is not strong enough, but because of the plot."

"It seems that Zhou Mo's limit on this show is four episodes."

"Zhou Mo was eliminated, and Lai Hui may become the biggest winner."

"Oh my god, next weekend our Momo might be pissed off to death by Lai Hui's smug look."

"We fans have to start fighting against the odds!"

Looking at these comments, Bai Xingjian became a little curious, and there seemed to be some story behind this.

Bai Xingjian did a direct search and found out about the grievances and love-hate relationship between Zhou Mo and Lai Hui.

The two graduated from the same university and the same class. Although they did not study the same major, as alumni, they should have a good relationship.

However, because of the positions of the two companies and some outrageous actions of fans on both sides, the two alumni have become rivals, and neither of them is willing to give in.

That’s right, Lai Hui is an artist of Shengchuan Entertainment.

Bai Xingjian listened to her representative works and found that she is indeed a very talented female singer.

"However, the song 'Under the Sea' should be able to save Zhou Mo."

Bai Xingjian stroked his chin, turned around and began to interact with his fans.

……

In the capital city under the same sky, in the same hotel as Zhou Mo.

Lai Hui was in a room, happily eating afternoon tea and browsing Weibo.

Her manager was also telling the good news: "Zhou Mo rejected the song given to her by Yehua Entertainment. It seems that she has decided to give up and is going to use the songs in the program group's music library in the next recording."

Lai Hui sneered, "Will she definitely be eliminated next time? Hahaha, who made her so unlucky that she actually drew the most difficult topic? Even in the music library provided by the program team, there are only a few songs about depression, and none of them are suitable for her to sing. It's really God's will to kill her, help me!"

Without a suitable song, Zhou Mo’s elimination was almost a foregone conclusion.

The topic Lai Hui drew was completely opposite to Zhou Mo's, and could be said to be tailor-made for her. Therefore, in the next recording of "I Am a Singer", Lai Hui has a great chance of continuing to advance and "live" one more episode than Zhou Mo.

"We have finally turned the corner!" the agent said with emotion.

Lai Hui smiled and nodded: "Besides, defeating Zhou Mo is also equivalent to defeating Yehua Entertainment. Even Wen Suxi didn't do this, but I did."

“Hahaha, this is the feeling of taking off.”

Lai Hui naturally saw the number one hot search today, and she was actually a little surprised by the defeat of Wang Feng and Wen Suxi.

But this is understandable. It's just a talent show. Can Wang Feng and Wen Suxi really treat it with care?
