Chapter 203 Very Unfeminine
Based on the group competition groups announced by He Ling after the live broadcast tonight, as well as the conversation with the program director Li Xiao last week, Bai Xingjian gradually sorted out his thoughts.
The variety show series "The Voice" has twelve episodes per season from the beginning to now, without exception.
Now that "The Voice of China 2024" has reached its eleventh episode, there has not been any sign of news about the finals, and instead there is a group competition.
Moreover, it is a confrontation between two such symbolic groups: Chinese singers and foreign singers.
What is the program team seeking?
It is estimated that they are planning to replicate the situation at the beginning of the show at the end of the "Singing 2024" stage——
Stir up the emotions of the entire network and make the performance of the program "The Voice 2024" reach a higher level.
And Bai Xingjian might be the instigator for the program team to implement this plan, and he can also divert the topic at the same time.
After thinking for a while, Bai Xingjian expressed some of his thoughts.
Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie, who were in the audience, stared at each other in amazement after hearing what he said.
"Brother Xing Jian...is this really that complicated?"
"Ah Jian, if the actual situation is really the same as what you said, then the production team of "The Voice of China 2024" is too much. Why don't we just withdraw from the competition to avoid this kind of anger."
Feng Shiqi's idea is very simple.
They, Fenghuang Yufei, have been cooperating very well with the program team of "The Voice of China 2024".
Li Xiao asked them to change the song style and sing ancient style songs. They, Fenghuang Yufei, did not object at all and changed it right away.
However, in less than a week, the program team suddenly backstabbed Bai Xingjian and prepared to push him to the forefront of public discussion.
Isn't this just naked revenge?
Feng Shiqi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Whoever wants to sing this song can go ahead. We're not going anyway."
"..."
Bai Xingjian stood up and changed his seat, sitting next to Feng Shiqi. He raised his hand and patted her on the back, advising:
"Sister Qi, don't be angry. We still have to sing the song. It's just that the production team is using us as a tool to create topics. I don't really care about that."
To be honest, Bai Xingjian doesn't really mind creating topics to stir up hype.
After all, many celebrities rely on this to survive in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, more and more popular topics mean more traffic, and more traffic means higher value.
Bai Xingjian himself is not a traffic star who only has traffic but no talent, so even if Park Ji-jae labeled him as "only good at marketing" in his song, it would not be a big deal to him.
After all, "lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife", and the label that Park Ji-jae put on Bai Xingjian can only be said to be a lie of moderate size.
What really bothered Bai Xingjian was that the program crew used him to create topics and hype up the topic without notifying him in advance.
However, these are actually just Bai Xingjian's expectations now. Whether things will develop as he expected remains to be verified.
Therefore, "the program crew did not notify him in advance" is now just a false proposition. We will have to wait and see what the real situation will be.
Besides, "The Voice of China 2024" has now reached a critical juncture.
If they withdraw from the competition at this time, wouldn’t Fenghuang Yufei become last season’s Liao Bei?
This is absolutely impossible.
At this moment, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi had almost finished eating.
Mei Jie, who did not continue to "serve" the two of them, took out her cell phone and prepared to verify what Bai Xingjian had just said.
Not long after, after seeing some content on Weibo, Mei Jie showed an expression of "as expected".
"Brother Xingjian! It's really just as you said! Now many netizens have started scolding Park Ji-jae again!"
The entry that Mei Jie clicked on was still [Park Ji-jae diss "The Voice 2024"], which was number one on the hot search list, but the tone of the comments had changed from praising to scolding.
Park Ji-jae is suffering from verbal attacks from all sides from netizens.
"Oh my god! These netizens are really good at fighting! Each one is more offensive than the other."
Mei Jie smacked her lips, raised her head and glanced at Bai Xingjian with admiration, "And there are some netizens who are speaking up for you, Brother Xingjian."
Obviously, it was Bai Xingjian's fans who were making an effort.
"what?"
Bai Xingjian was surprised for a moment and picked up his phone to take a look.
Sure enough, the eighth place on the hot search list is related to him.
【Park Ji-jae diss Bai Xingjian】
When this entry appeared, his fans probably started to diss Park Ji-jae.
Bai Xingjian's helpless expression revealed some relief.
His fans have gradually grown to a certain size.
Bai Xingjian blinked and his attention was attracted by an entry ranked twelfth on the hot search list.
【Bai Xingjian Marketing】
Looking at this content, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but curl his lips.
However, he had no interest in this entry and moved his finger to the previous entry.
Then I saw the most popular Weibo post.
The copy is very simple, it is just an analysis of Park Ji-jae's lyrics.
Since Bai Xingjian was the only singer who appeared on the hot search list with Park Ji-jae last week, Bai Xingjian naturally became the target of this diss lyrics.
Comment area:
[Objective, correct, direct, pertinent, to the point, hitting the nail on the head…]
[Diss is good! Diss is wonderful! ]
[I’ve been wanting to say this for a long time. Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are simply big marketing players. Whenever a variety show with them is broadcast, I can definitely find them in the top ten trending searches on Weibo]
[Indeed, every time the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" is broadcast, Phoenix Yufei can be on the hot search list. I don't believe that they don't have a company behind the marketing.]
[I need your trust? Who are you? Have you paid off your mortgage and car loan? Are you yelling here?]
[If your main character had sung a new song on the last show, I think it would have been more popular on the trending searches than Phoenix Flying!]
[You said my brother has no talent and is only good at marketing? Did Park Ji-jae read too many marketing accounts?]
Bai Xingjian: “…” Now some fans have actually started calling him “brother”.
A strange feeling came over him, but at this moment, Bai Xingjian heard a heavy breathing sound coming from beside him.
Turning around, I saw Feng Shiqi's face was slightly red, and a pair of slender, pink hands were flying across the phone screen at a very fast speed.
Well, it must be his cheap sister who is using her smurf account to argue with netizens again.
Sister Qi is on the line.
Bai Xingjian grinned, didn't interrupt, and turned to send a message in the fan group.
The content of the post is also very simple, which is to advise everyone not to waste energy on participating in the hot searches on Weibo.
As a result, as soon as his message came out, he was rejected by his fans.
[Aaaaaah! (groundhog screams)]
[My husband is out!!!]
[Brother is so nice! He still thinks of us even at this time! But don’t worry, brother, we won’t just watch you get bullied by those haters!]
[That’s right! Brother has written so many good songs, so we should do the same!]
[Sisters, go go go!]
[Just a quick question, brother, do you plan to write a song to diss him back?]
[No, no, no! Brother, please don’t do that! Park Ji-jae is just a nobody, he doesn’t deserve our brother’s dissback!]
[......]
To be honest, Bai Xingjian used to feel a little uncomfortable when he heard comments from fans of other fan clubs.
Especially those comments that keep calling people “brother” or “giegie”, they look like they were posted by kids who have not grown up.
But now, looking at the names his fans gave him in his own fan group, Bai Xingjian only wanted to say one thing, which was -
You are the cutest fans in the world!
Come to think of it, if there is a group of people like this who support you, care about you and are considerate of you all the time, who wouldn’t like them?
But writing a song to diss him back is totally unnecessary. The fan with the ID "I only like to eat sweet tofu pudding" is right. Park Ji-jae is just a nobody, why diss him back?
Bai Xingjian doesn't want to become part of some kind of play by the program crew.
However, just as Bai Xingjian was typing in the input box, there was a sudden movement on his system panel.
[By the way, rhyming will cause problems! ]
[A new task has been launched. Post a Weibo post related to "rap" and sing a song related to "rap" in the next live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024"]
[Task Reward: Specified Music Box*2]
[Note: The "Specified Music Box" can be used according to the host's wishes, and any song from Earth can be selected for use]
After reading the information on the panel, Bai Xingjian suddenly felt overwhelmed with joy.
Specify the music box?
This is a really great thing!
Although the songs he opened from the blind box of his works before were all quite suitable, there were times when they were not suitable.
The designated music work box has none of the shortcomings of the blind box of the work. You can get whatever you want, and this comes with two.
This task...
There's a feeling that I have to do it!
"Well, I take back what I just said."
Bai Xingjian muttered to himself, cleared the contents of the input box, and re-edited:
"I'm planning on singing a rap-related song next week, what do you guys think?"
As soon as the message was released, countless fans responded.
[Ahhh? Is Brother asking for our opinions?]
[We are so happy too!]
[Great, great! We will support you no matter what you do!]
[Can I finally listen to my brother’s rap again? I’m really looking forward to it!]
[Brother, come on! Let that Corea rapper hear what Chinese rap is! ]
Bai Xingjian was deeply touched by the fans' enthusiasm. He smiled and responded:
"Then let's have a rap song next week."
After this message was sent, Bai Xingjian left the fan group and posted a Weibo with exactly the same content as the message.
——Then let’s have a rap song next week.
[The task of posting a Weibo post related to "rap" has been completed! ]
It’s really simple.
Looking at the information prompts that appeared on the panel, Bai Xingjian felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
The moment this Weibo post was published, Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie’s phones rang with the sound of message notifications almost at the same time.
Both of them followed Bai Xingjian, and they cared about him very much, so every time Bai Xingjian posted on Weibo, they could almost always see it first.
"Good job, Jian! Since Park Ji-jae is being sarcastic in the song, we have to confront him head-on!"
Feng Shiqi stretched out her smooth, white little hand and gave Bai Xingjian a thumbs-up. She nodded with satisfaction and gave Bai Xingjian an encouraging look.
The real person's response was much more satisfying than her using a small account to confront him!
Feng Shiqi's expression also made Bai Xingjian laugh. However, before he could explain, Mei Jie's voice rang out:
"Brother Xingjian, go, go! Try to diss Park Ji-jae until he is too embarrassed to go back to see the villagers in Coria."
Just now, Mei Jie used scientific Internet access to browse the most mainstream community platform "X" on the Internet, and then found that the netizens of Corea had gone crazy.
They jumped the land area from less than 11 square kilometers to 1100 million square kilometers.
Park Ji-jae won the second place in "The Voice 2024", and it seems that their Corea has become the second in the world.
It's just mysterious confidence!
"Uh……"
After hearing what Mei Jie said and facing Feng Shiqi's approving eyes, Bai Xingjian felt that he had to explain.
But before he could explain, Feng Shiqi opened her pink lips and spoke again:
"Ajian, I won't be singing on the stage of The Voice 2024 next week. I'll leave the entire stage to you so you can sing a rap song to your heart's content."
Feng Shiqi patted Bai Xingjian on the shoulder with an expression that said, "Sister leaves everything to you."
However, Bai Xingjian still saw a hint of cunning in Feng Shiqi's expression.
He cleared his throat and said, "Sister Qi, the rap I'm going to sing is not actually a diss, it's just a rap song with an ancient style, and you've actually heard this song before."
At this point, Bai Xingjian glanced at Mei Jie and said, "Mei Jie should have heard of it too."
"Really?" Mei Jie pointed at herself in surprise.
"Ah."
Bai Xingjian smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze back to Feng Shiqi: "And I was planning to ask Sister Qi to help me sing the hook."
The hook is the chorus, the climax of a song.
"what?"
Feng Shiqi rolled her clear and bright eyes and said in an unquestionable tone, "Which song is it? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."
"'A Laugh in the Ocean'." Bai Xing said the song title directly.
"Huh?? This song? I sing the hook?"
Feng Shiqi's eyes widened a little, and she pointed at herself with a look of disbelief:
"'A Laugh in the Ocean' is such a rough and majestic song, Jian, you want me to sing the hook? Don't you think of me as a woman?"
When Feng Shiqi heard the song title "A Laugh in the Ocean", he felt as if he was struck by lightning.
She sings the hook of this song?
"The vast ocean laughs! The surging tides on both sides..."
Feng Shiqi tried it in his mind.
then,
For the first time, she felt a resistance to singing.
It's not that Feng Shiqi can't sing the roughness and boldness in the song "A Laugh in the Ocean".
If Bai Xingjian had released this song a few months ago, she would definitely not have any resistance.
But now, people always change.
Especially in front of people you care about, people always care more about their image.
But now Feng Shiqi doesn't want to sing "A Laugh in the Sea" in front of Bai Xingjian.
Because in her eyes, she would be very unfeminine if she sang "A Laugh in the Ocean".
This is absolutely impossible!
