Chapter 340 You are my prey
In the underground parking lot.
Tao Ji listened to the sound of the engine starting, slowly stood up and took a look, his face full of disbelief.
He waited until the car pulled out of the parking lot before he sat up straight.
He never expected that the Chinese Music Spring Festival Gala, which is known for its absolute fairness, would turn out to be shady.
Who would have thought that Luo Sheng, known as the godfather of music, would not only protect his apprentice, but also threaten to use his connections to eliminate Fengqi Wutong?
It shouldn’t be!
What's the grudge between them?
Is the feud over album sales still unresolved? Or will you have to pay a price for eliminating your beloved apprentice? Is the godfather of music so narrow-minded?
However, after Tao Ji thought about it, he no longer thought so.
An international superstar doesn't even recognize his daughter. He teaches all kinds of dirty stuff at a certain university. People who are extremely capable in professional fields may not necessarily have high moral standards. This is probably the case with this Luo Sheng.
Taoji's fingertips kept tapping on the steering wheel, getting into a tangle.
"Do you want to tell them about this?"
…
Outside the Beijing China Television Broadcasting Station building.
Wang Feng patted Lin Zhixing on the shoulder with a smile, gave a thumbs up and praised: "You performed so well tonight! I feel the same as them, I haven't heard such high-quality folk songs in a long time!" "
"Brother Feng, thank you!"
Lin Zhixing smiled and waved his hand.
Wang Feng smiled and said, "By the way, my concert is coming soon. Tomorrow you and Xiao Song can help me rehearse! Let's decide what song to sing."
"Okay, okay, no problem!"
…
Outside a gym.
Tao Ji slowly parked the car in the parking space, and his younger sister Tao Ranran trotted open the car door. After getting in the car, she frowned and complained: "Brother, you are so slow, why did you come here?"
"There's a traffic jam on the road."
Tao Ji looked at his sister beside him and asked with a smile, "How was your practice today?"
"My whole body aches..."
Tao Ranran patted his brother's belly and said, "Brother, you are much fatter now than before. Come with me to lose weight and keep fit. Find a sister-in-law for me to keep in shape!"
Tao Ji nodded, "It's okay to work out. I quite like working out, but I don't do it."
Tao Ranran asked doubtfully: "Which six should I not practice?"
"If you don't train your legs, you will easily injure your knees."
"Secondly, if you don't train your back, you will easily injure your waist."
"If you don't train your breasts, your breasts will be too big to attract the same sex."
"Fourth, if you don't train your shoulders, the posture is not good and the trapezius muscles get up first, which doesn't look good."
"If you don't do abdominal exercises, others won't be able to see you while wearing clothes."
"If you don't do aerobic exercise, you will lose muscles if you do too much aerobic exercise."
After hearing what he said, Tao Ranran rolled his eyes several times, "Then what's left? Just be lazy if you're lazy. I'm really impressed by you, bro!"
The car started and drove smoothly on the road.
Along the way, Tao Ranran noticed that his brother seemed to be worried, and asked curiously: "Brother, are you worried about something? I think you have been silent as if you are worried."
"Nothing to worry about..."
After Tao Ji pondered for a moment, he said, "There is something you just don't know how to do well?"
Tao Ranran suddenly became interested, "Tell me what's going on, and I'll give you some advice!"
"that is……"
Tao Ji pursed his lips and said, "I know one thing. There will be a very powerful singer who wants to challenge Fengqi Wutong. Do you think I should tell them about this?"
Tao Ranran blinked and thought for a moment, then said: "Brother, you're stupid! Of course don't talk about this! Isn't it a good thing for powerful singers to eliminate them? There is one less opponent on the way forward, which is of great benefit to you!" "
"If you tell them in advance and let them prepare in advance, they probably won't be able to eliminate them. Do you think that's the case?"
After hearing what his sister said, Tao Ji frowned slightly and said, "I understand what you said, but..."
"elder brother!"
Tao Ranran raised his hand and interrupted: "No but, have you forgotten your original intention?"
Original intention?
Listening to these two words, Tao Ji fell into deep thought.
…
Gate 8 on the 14th floor of Shuxiangyuan Community.
[I would like to call "My Deskmate You" the best campus ballad! 】
[Luo Sheng’s ballad apprentice was defeated, who will be next? 】
[The real hexagon warrior, taking stock of the highlight moments when Fengqi Wutong defeated his opponents in rap, Chinese style, and folk songs! 】
When Lin Zhixing returned home, he sat in front of the computer and browsed the feedback on tonight's songs.
As I expected, the song "My Deskmate" was very popular with the audience. The comment section was full of praise, and everyone was sharing stories about their deskmate.
Sliding the mouse to look down, one of the hot searches caught Lin Zhixing's attention.
[Is there fairness in the strict sense of the music Spring Festival Gala? Did Luo Sheng use his right as a judge to help his apprentices stay on stage? 】
Sure enough, the eyes of the masses are sharp, but the eyes of the CTV leaders are short-sighted.
Lin Zhixing slid the mouse curiously and clicked on the comment area of this hot search.
"Unfair, absolutely unfair! 8 of the 9 viewers voted for Fengqi Wutong, and 1 viewer voted for Hua Futing, which fully proves the gap! As a judge, couldn't Luo Sheng, a judge, make a judgment on this? "
"Support the leaders of CTV to replace Luo Sheng, and don't tarnish the reputation of the Music Spring Festival Gala!"
"Let me evaluate it objectively. The reason why Luo Sheng did this may be that he gave his apprentice a low rating before to avoid suspicion. Giving Fengqi Wutong a B rating was a helpless move, in order to make up for it."
Lin Zhixing took a cursory glance.
About 4 out of 5 netizens expressed their dissatisfaction, and 1 out of 5 netizens felt that Luo Sheng's actions were reasonable.
"Ling ring ring~~"
The phone rang suddenly. Lin Zhixing picked it up and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hi, hello."
"Is this Lin Zhixing?"
Um?
Lin Zhixing heard that the voice on the other end of the phone was very familiar. He recalled it for a moment and then remembered, "Are you Tao Ji?"
There was brief silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds.
"It's me, I'm Tao Ji."
"Let me tell you something. There may be a very powerful big-name singer challenging you next time. You should prepare in advance!"
Big-name singer challenge?
Lin Zhixing frowned and listened in confusion. He asked curiously: "Can you tell me in detail what's going on? Which singer wants to challenge me?"
"I don't know about this. It's good that you know. I'm just calling you to remind you."
"Thank you!"
After Lin Zhixing thanked him, he asked bluntly: "Can I ask why you reminded me? If I didn't know, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you to be eliminated?"
On the other end of the phone.
In a high-end apartment.
Seeing Lin Zhixing asking so straightforwardly, Tao Ji pursed his lips and smiled.
On the way back today, he apparently listened to his sister's advice, but when he got home, he changed his mind.
The words "original intention" touched him.
Tao Ji's original intention as a singer is to make the "R\u0026B" music he likes and bring good R\u0026B songs to fans.
He did not sign up for the "Loud Singing" competition of the Music Spring Festival Gala. The program team invited him to participate in order to create a gimmick for the "New Four Kings".
Tao Ji actually didn't care too much about the stage that others longed for.
But as the competition progressed, the competition became more and more cruel, and his mentality gradually changed, and he began to care more and more about this stage.
His younger sister Tao Ranran's words of "original intention" made him wake up from a dream.
Compared with any performance ranking, he hopes that his R\u0026B songs can be liked by more people.
Tao Ji smiled and spoke to the phone, "The reason why I remind you is that I am selfish, because you are my prey. I have a new song that I am very satisfied with and will soon finish it. I will use this new song to Challenge you!"
This new song he said has been carefully crafted for a long time, and he feels very satisfied with himself.
I thought that instead of constantly consuming energy and internal energy on this stage, it would be better to spend time on creating music. Excellent works are what I pursue.
Therefore, he thought of using this new song to challenge a singer he recognized in his heart and compete openly.
Fengqi Wutong is the singer he recognizes in his heart.
"East Wind Break" surprised me by combining R\u0026B with Chinese style for the first time in the music industry, and "Love Is Very Simple" moved me to tears.
Tao Ji is looking forward to facing off against Fengqi Wutong.
If I can beat them, there will be huge traffic and popularity, which will also be of great benefit to the promotion of my new song.
On the other side of the phone.
Tao Ji's answer surprised Lin Zhixing.
Unexpectedly, he also regarded himself as prey and wanted to challenge himself...
Lin Zhixing nodded and asked, "Is your new song style R\u0026B?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, let me know when your new song is finished, and I will answer the challenge with an R\u0026B song!"
He was able to call to remind himself. Lin Zhixing was very grateful and was willing to compete with him in the R\u0026B style he was good at.
"No problem, let's make a deal then!"
…
…
October 25th.
The day of Wang Feng's "Brilliant Like You" concert.
At 6:30 pm, outside the Peking Workers' Sports Stadium.
The crowd was packed, and fans holding tickets began to enter the venue.
The lively scene of the past few days reappeared, with several isolation belts stretching for hundreds of meters, and a uniformed security guard every few steps to maintain order.
"Brother, this cheering stick was given to you at Fengqi Wutong's concert a few days ago, right?"
"Yes, I even brought a fan sign!"
"I brought it too. I was afraid it would be confiscated, so I hid it in my bag!"
Among the audience watching the concert, there is a special group of fans. They did not buy tickets for Fengqi Wutong's concert, but bought tickets for Wang Feng's concert just to see their idol.
Concert backstage.
When everything was ready, Wang Feng put out the cigarette in his hand, took out a pack of betel nut, and handed it to Lin Zhixing and Song Ge, "Would you like one?"
"Thank you, no, we can't get used to it!"
Lin Zhixing waved his hand and said in surprise: "Brother Feng, if you eat this before singing, won't it affect your performance?"
"It doesn't matter, I can sing better if I eat this."
Wang Feng smiled and said: "Actually, singing is not just a vocal practice for some singers. Some drink boiling water before singing, some eat chili, some eat preserved eggs, and some don't eat meat for three days... "
Lin Zhixing really heard what he was talking about.
Shantimo from "I Am a Singer" revealed that she had to drink boiling hot honey water before singing. Five tablespoons of honey were added to a glass of water. Other singers got sick of their throats just looking at it.
Song Ge eats a fruit candy before every performance. Sweet things make people feel happy and make them less nervous when singing.
Lin Zhixing stared at Wang Feng who was chewing vigorously, shrugged his shoulders incomprehension, and said in his heart: "I really don't know what's so good about chewing betel nuts. Last time, my brother took a pack of betel nuts and chewed them. After chewing one, I felt like I couldn't breathe, and my throat felt like someone was choking me. When I came back to my senses, I realized it was my brother who was strangling me and asked me why I was eating his betel nut."
"How many times have I fallen on the road?"
"How many times have I broken my wings?"
Wang Feng was chewing betel nut and humming the song, and said excitedly: "Xiao Lin, the song "Blooming Life" you wrote is really great. I believe fans will like it soon!"
"I hope so."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded.
This song "Blooming Life" cost me a song selection card, and I hope that through the promotion of this concert, I can get rich returns.
Wang Feng adjusted his glasses, smiled and said: "If possible, can you sing this song to me at the Musical Spring Festival Gala? I really like this song, it feels like it was tailor-made for me. Same!"
"sure!"
Lin Zhixing was very willing to promote this song on the largest music stage.
But if it’s for commercial use, you’ll have to pay extra.
…
…
At eight o'clock sharp.
Wang Feng's "Brilliant Like You" concert officially begins.
With an exciting background music playing, Wang Feng, wearing a leather jacket and leather trousers, waved and walked out of the aisle, immediately arousing cheers from the audience.
"Brother Feng!"
"Brother Feng, I love you!"
Um?
Wang Feng glanced at the audience, and the smile that had just appeared on his face gradually disappeared. He found that there were many spectators in the auditorium holding fan signs with "Fengqi Wutong".
The ratio of the audience holding their own fan lights is about 1.5 to 3.5...
After the concert video was released, I felt a little embarrassed...but I relied on them to sell tickets, so there was nothing I could do about this situation.
"The security takes money!"
Concert backstage.
Since it was still early in the supporting stage, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge had nothing to do. Apart from taking photos with the staff, they just ate melon seeds and snacks.
"Zhixing, what are you thinking about?"
Song Ge peeled the nuts and asked with concern when he saw Lin Zhixing looking worried.
"I'm thinking about what song to sing next time..."
Lin Zhixing patted the snack crumbs on his hand and sighed softly: "You also know that there will be a big-name singer challenging the next issue. I am thinking about what kind of song I can use to hold on."
Song Ge pursed his lips and guessed: "I guess the singer who comes to challenge may be Hong Degang or Wu Tong."
"How to say?"
Song Ge analyzed: "Luo Sheng is so old, and his network of connections will not be young. In addition, the conditions for big-name singers include Wu Tong, Hong Degang, and Xu Wei. I heard from my senior brother that Xu Wei is relatively withdrawn. , I don’t have many friends, so I probably wouldn’t be related to the Taicheng singer, so I think it’s the two of them.”
"reasonable!"
Lin Zhixing smiled and gave a thumbs up. It would be nice if he could choose one of the two and then rule it out.
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
Wang Feng on the stage has sang ten songs in a row. Amid the anticipation of countless spectators, he shouted out that name.
"Now I invite the guest of this concert, Fengqi Wutong, to appear!"
