Chapter 147
The night before the recording of "I Am the King of Rap".
Inside the hotel room.
"Brother Lin, you have a gymnasium match tomorrow, will you be nervous?"
Dong Chen looked at Lin Zhixing who was lying on the bed watching the football match on his mobile phone and asked curiously.
"not nervous."
Lin Zhixing shook his head. He was nervous about participating because of the lack of music library and the high quality and status of the stars participating together.
Now that there are four kings in hand, the contestants are all a ragtag group of people who are just collecting chicken feathers to scrape together, and they can't be a little nervous.
"Yes, after all, this is your best field, Brother Lin!"
Dong Chen swiped his phone and said with a smile: "I saw there are posts on Weibo predicting the final ranking of "I Am the Rap King"."
Lin Zhixing asked smoothly, "What's my rank?"
Dong Chen said: "Second place."
Second place?
Lin Zhixing turned to look at Dong Chen and asked in surprise: "Who is the first?"
"Christmas."
Seeing that Lin Zhixing didn't recognize him, Dong Chen explained: "He is quite famous in this circle. From being rejected by "Good Singing" to now sharing the stage with the mentor who once rejected him, his competitive ranking is higher than that of his mentor. His experience is quite touching. "
"oh."
Lin Zhixing nodded, looked back at the screen, and asked again, "What is the predicted ranking of that person named Zhao Fan?"
"Third place."
"Third place? Does he have many fans or is he really talented?" Lin Zhixing was very surprised.
"Zhao Fan is the one with the best results in his team."
Dong Chen explained carefully: "There are three teams in this show. You know that Pan Shuai leads the team, and there is a mentor that you are also familiar with."
"Who?"
"Shen Fei!"
"Shen Fei?"
Lin Zhixing raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Is it the Shen Fei who was our mentor in "The Birth of the Group"?"
Dong Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, many of her songs also have rap elements. The program team may have invited her because they wanted to match men and women."
Lin Zhixing nodded, "That's good. Sister Feifei can be considered an acquaintance."
The program team wants to hire popular celebrities, and it has nothing to do with singing or rapping. Jane Zhang does not sing rap, but she has also been a mentor on a rap show.
"The remaining mentor is Dong Diamond, who is relatively famous in the mainland. His famous work "Painting the Dragon" became a hit, and he also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. This alone puts him in a different league from other rappers."
"The Zhou Dan I just mentioned is from Mentor Shen Fei's team, and Zhao Fan is from Dong Diamond's team. Both of them are the top seeds of their respective teams."
Lin Zhixing nodded after hearing this, "Okay, I understand."
Dong Chen continued to ask: "Brother Lin, do you want me to introduce you to other players?"
Lin Zhixing waved his hand, "No, I'm going to sing and I'm not interested in getting to know those people."
…
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host, task (1) has been completed. 】
too difficult!
Lin Zhixing slammed the phone in his hand on the bed and glanced at the sports bracelet on his wrist. The highest heart rate was 96 beats per minute. He had passed the test just now.
I blame myself for thinking too naively at the beginning. This task is comparable to scoring goals for the national football team. It is really exhausting.
Just as he was about to wash up, the phone rang suddenly. It was Zhang Sihui.
"Hey, Sister Hui."
"Xiao Lin, I've talked with the Optoelectronics Communications Company, and they are willing to pay up to 10 million yuan."
Lin Zhixing curled his lips after hearing this. The price was too cheap. His lowest expected price was 25 million. The gap was too big to accept.
"Okay, what about the other two communications companies?"
"One company is willing to pay 18 million, and the other wants to wait and see how popular your song is. If the popularity meets their expectations, they are willing to accept a price of 30 million."
"Okay, I understand, let's sing first."
Lin Zhixing hung up the phone and thought to himself: "If the song becomes popular, it won't be 30 million."
…
…
The day of recording of "I am the King of Rap".
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Accompanied by Dong Chen, Lin Zhixing came to the "King of Rap" recording building.
After submitting the song accompaniment to the staff, within five minutes of arriving in the lounge, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
"Hi, Xiaolin!"
"Brother Pan, Sister Feifei!"
The two of them came to see him together. Lin Zhixing was very surprised and hurriedly greeted him.
"long time no see!"
Shen Fei said with a squinted smile. She was wearing a hollow black hip-hugging skirt with stockings and high heels, and her image was still so royal.
"Long time no see. Sit down, sit down."
Lin Zhixing quickly moved two chairs and asked them to sit down.
Pan Shuai, who was dressed fashionably, said with a smile: "I just heard from the staff that you are here. We will meet you before the game."
Shen Fei looked at Lin Zhixing who was becoming more and more stable, pursed her lips and gave a thumbs up with a smile, "Your level has improved again, I can always see your news on the Weibo hot search list!"
"Sister Feifei, thank you very much."
Lin Zhixing smiled and waved his hand.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Shen Fei said: "I heard that the program team invited you to play in the gym temporarily. Is there anything unclear about the rules? You can ask me."
Lin Zhixing really had a question, "I would like to ask, I can designate anyone for this competition, right? No matter the ranking."
Shen Fei shook her head and explained: "This show is different from "I Am the King of Singer". The show you participated in allowed anyone to compete."
"The kicking part of this show is for kicking singers to compete. After singing and passing the score, the singer with the worst score will be squeezed out to occupy the spot."
"Oh, I see."
Lin Zhixing nodded after listening. The rules are the same as the previous two seasons of "I Am a Singer", which is a elimination system for the last place.
The plan to eliminate Zhao Fan immediately failed, so consider this grandson lucky.
Shen Fei explained roughly again, "Other rules are similar to "The Birth of a Group". There are both live broadcast and essence versions. There are one hundred public judges. One vote of the mentor is worth ten votes. Online voting will be opened for the finals. At this stage No."
"okay."
Chatted for a while.
Pan Shuai and Shen Fei had work matters to attend to, so they had to leave.
Lin Zhixing sent them out. Pan Shuai patted Lin Zhixing's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't forget our agreement!"
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, "Brother Pan, don't worry!"
…
Just a few minutes after sitting down, there was another knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
The door was pushed open, and a man wearing black glasses and a slicked back hair walked in. Lin Zhixing felt that he looked very familiar, so he looked carefully and recognized him.
"The Birth of a Group" host "Hua Shaoyang".
Hua Shaoyang pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: "Big star, can't you remember who I am?"
"No, Brother Hua, sit down quickly!"
Lin Zhixing smiled, waved his hand, and invited him to his seat, "Are you the host of this show?"
"Yes."
Hua Shaoyang smiled and nodded, then gave a thumbs up, "Back then you were shouting on the stage, and then you will be invited by the program team again. I still remember it vividly."
"How long has it been since the show? Now you are participating in "I am the King of Singer" again, and tonight you are on the stage of "I am the King of Rap" again. You are really amazing!"
Lin Zhixing smiled and said modestly, "I'm a little lucky."
After chatting for a few minutes, Hua Shaoyang stood up and patted his shoulder, "I hope you have good results tonight. I'm very optimistic about you!"
"good!"
…
…
7:40 p.m.
There are still twenty minutes before the start of the competition, and the audience and public judges have already taken their seats in the studio, listening to the on-site director's arrangements.
The four members of the "Diamond Team", headed by Zhao Fan, were smoking cigarettes and chatting in a separate lounge.
"That guy named Lin Zhixing is so crazy!"
"Isn't that right? He hasn't participated in a show yet, and this place has become his territory!"
"Don't tease me, I want to laugh when I mention this. He is probably a dog. He pees to mark his territory, right? Hahaha!"
"Hey, there's a picture."
Zhao Fan, who had a yellow haircut and a peaked cap tilted at an angle, took a puff of his cigarette, sipped the cigarette butt in the ashtray, stood up and said, "This kid is so crazy, I'll teach him how to behave in a while!"
…
…
the other side.
Lin Zhixing also came out of the lounge and happened to meet Zhao Fan and four others in the corridor.
"Hey, who did I see just now? I think I saw the Rap Emperor on the ground!"
"Hey, the emperor of rap on earth, this nickname sounds very powerful!"
"The nickname is awesome, but I wonder if you can sing well?"
Interestingly, on other stages, even if they don't deal with each other, they won't say it openly.
This circle is indeed extraordinary.
Lin Zhixing listened to the dogs barking behind him and ignored them. There was no point in talking about it now, and he would attack the dogs indiscriminately after a while.
【Ding! 】
[The easy difficulty of the system task is turned on. Successfully kicked out the gym, extinguished their arrogance, and completed the reward to receive a random song from Earth. 】
…
…
At eight o'clock sharp.
With a gesture from the on-site director, the scene instantly became quiet, and at the same time, the live broadcast room of "I Am the Rap King" was officially opened.
There were many spectators who came specially to watch Lin Zhixing's game. They had been waiting in the live broadcast room for a long time. They poured in like a tide and barrages filled the screen.
"First, the sofa!"
"I'm here to see Brother Oh Ye, come on Brother Oh Ye!"
"'I Am the King of Rap' can't be played without Oh Brother, just like pancakes can't be made without green onions!"
"Let these rappers see how powerful you are and destroy their arrogance!"
"Chigua, I'm here to grab the territory!"
…
Inside the director's office.
"Ouch!"
Director Hou Pingliang looked at the real-time data in the live broadcast room and smiled happily, "I really didn't expect that the appearance of a kicking singer directly increased the initial popularity of the live broadcast room by 300,000. If I had known this, I would have invited him earlier. coming!"
The female assistant beside her smiled and nodded, pointing at the computer screen and saying, "That's right. Now I can't even see the names of other singers on the barrage. They are all blocked by his fans!"
"But it's not too late to invite him now. The song "Happy Worship" has just brought the popularity to its peak. The data for this period will definitely be quite good."
"hope so!"
…
On the gorgeous stage.
The host Hua Shaoyang, who was wearing a bright blue suit, appeared on the stage amidst bursts of applause, "Friends from the audience, good evening!"
"good!"
After some opening remarks, inspiring background music played, and the three instructors waved and appeared. Each instructor was followed by their own team members. The opening effect was very effective.
The design of this stage is different from other music ensembles.
There are sofas on both sides of the stage. The sofa on the left is where the instructors sit, and the sofa on the right is where the contestants sit.
The colors of the sofas distinguish each team. Pan Shuai has a green sofa, Shen Fei has a red sofa, and Dong Diamond has a black sofa.
This brings the singers closer to their opponents and instructors during the singing process.
Lin Zhixing is currently a kicking singer. He has no place to sit and is waiting quietly behind the scenes. According to the arrangement of the program team, the order of appearance is to appear as the finale, second to last.
Soon, the singing session began.
Three teams, each with four members, will take the stage in the order of the lottery on the stage screen.
The contestants took the stage to sing one after another.
Lin Zhixing listened carefully behind the scenes at first, but after listening to two songs, he couldn't listen anymore.
The music is barely listenable, and the lyrics are hard to describe.
Also, I don’t know if it was arranged by the on-site director or if the audience themselves have no ability to appreciate songs. As long as the stage lights are flashing enough, the rhythm of the music is high enough, and the lyrics are spoken fast enough, they will feel awesome and start cheering off the stage.
Later, Lin Zhixing simply stopped listening and sat quietly in the waiting room waiting to appear.
"Now, I would like to invite singer Zhao Fan to sing the song "I Have Procrastination" for everyone!"
Um?
Hearing the familiar name, Lin Zhixing left his chair and went back behind the scenes to look, wanting to see what level this grandson was.
The rhythmic musical prelude sounded.
Zhao Fan, who was dressed in a hip-hop outfit with N necklaces hanging around his neck, raised the microphone and sang during the main song.
"I go to work at 8 a.m. and I don't go to bed until 7 a.m."
"I ordered takeout at 10 o'clock, and the delivery fee was 20 yuan."
“Labour and management make money when they go to work, and mess around when they get off work.”
“No matter how many days I take during the vacation, I feel it is very short.”
"Ask me to sing on the 9th, don't panic and do it again on the 8th."
this……
Lin Zhixing's whole body went numb as he listened to the diary-like lyrics, and he awkwardly dug out a sea-view room with his toes.
Can this also be on stage? How much money did you give to the program team?
Unable to calm down, he was soon tortured by the song's chorus.
On the stage, Zhao Fan was so excited that he threw the peaked cap off the stage. He felt like he was the most handsome boy tonight.
"I just love to procrastinate, I just love to procrastinate"
"I always procrastinate. Always procrastinate."
Do you suffer from procrastination?
I think you are mentally ill?
After being shocked by the singing, Lin Zhixing glanced at the audience. The audience actually waved along with him in excitement.
horrible……
…
"Okay, thank you Zhao Fan for your wonderful singing!"
The host Hua Shaoyang raised the tone and said: "Now we invite the kicking singer to come on stage. The singer Lin Zhixing will perform the song "My Land" for everyone. Everyone welcomes it with applause!"
As the applause rang out, song information appeared on the stage screen.
【My territory】
[Singer: Lin Zhixing]
[Lyrics: Lin Zhixing]

[Arranger: Lin Zhixing]
"Oh Brother Ye is here, he comes with originality!"
"Wow, he really wrote about my territory like Weibo?"
