The second episode of "Band Frenzy" aired, and the opening song by Sui Qingchi and Pharaoh Sasha ranked first in the real-time trending search, and the screen was filled with barrage.
— Pharaoh's electric guitar, Sasha's keyboard, Sui Qingchi's lead vocal, this combination is amazing!
- ah ah! It turned out to be The Phoenix! ! To be able to hear Sui Qingchi singing rock and roll again! !
— This song is really suitable as the opening song of the band frenzy
—Risby! ! It's completely different from the original singer, his voice is really nice, it's like a young man's voice! !
—Actually, I think the arrangement is a bit weak, but when Sui Qingchi’s voice came out, I really knelt down, and there was a feeling throughout the whole process, ah, the sound is about to explode...
— Sui Qingchi dressed well today, the red motorcycle jacket is so hot and handsome!
——Sui Qingchi is very in shape, he is suitable for singing this kind of second-year songs, the fringe of the motorcycle jacket flicks around, I was caught by Sui (*/ω＼*)
——Also, when singing here here and that part of panting, the throat was raised twice, it was so refreshing to watch! Thanks to the director for giving the camera!
——The sexiest part of Sui Qingchi's singing is the neck, sisters who understand!
— Sister, I understand you!
— Sister take me one!
—When I sang Like a phoenix, my articulation is so solid, and my voice is still so thick and high-pitched...
- What's so strange, he can use mixed voice to achieve this pitch, you guys are too underestimating the middle two
—Everyone at the scene stood up and shouted, more than 300 spectators danced wildly, and their pronunciation was trembling
—Sui Qingchi must want to sing so badly, don’t sing like me
— Hahahahaha
— I *I am afraid that the barrage will kill me laughing
— This song would not be interesting without his middle school eyes, the eyes are the essence
When Xifeng was the first to appear on the stage, the barrage continued to be high-energy:
—The first band is West Wind!
—West wind rushes the duck!
——Sui Qingchi sat there with "I'm uncomfortable" written all over her body
- This song sounds good!
——I like "Fallen" the most in this scene!
—Why didn't anyone ask about Sui Qingchi and Xifeng at the scene? Is Xifeng so confused
— It was definitely Liu Mei who said hello. Xifeng is a forbidden word in Sui Qingchi's place. If you leave the word Xifeng on his Weibo, he can get up at four o'clock in the morning and delete it for you!
— ha ha ha ha really? ! Then I will try it!
—Don't try it, if you get angry, you will directly close the comment, let us humble fans go!
—Fu Cuo is so handsome! Without Sui Qingchi on the scene, he is the most handsome!
——I saw that Fu Cuo lowered his head not to look at Sui Qingchi, and Sui Qingchi also lowered his head not to look at him, standing here for a second!
"Band Frenzy" became a huge hit on the Internet. After several episodes, Xifeng's Weibo fans rose to nearly two million. What moved Fu Cuo the most was that the fans were really working hard for the band. On Weibo, a super chat called "Blowing West Wind" was created. The performance video of "Fallen" was reposted tens of thousands of times. The reason is that this video was deleted, and the fans edited another video introducing Xifeng, and strung together their various performance videos. Although this kind of practice similar to the fan circle was also laughed at by many underground rockers, it is very important to the band’s For the four of them, there was only emotion to speak of.
There was also some unhappiness, because the introductory video did not mention that Sui Qingchi was the first lead singer of Xifeng, Sui Qingchi's fans were very dissatisfied, and forwarded a comment saying, "I really kicked away the lead singer who should be most grateful! The fans of Xifeng retorted, "Isn't it that you yourself don't admit that Sui Qingchi was the lead singer of Xifeng? You have already said the truth and the irony!"
Fu Cuo and his teammates were busy rehearsing, and they just wanted to sleep when they returned to the apartment. In fact, they didn’t have much time to follow up on the disputes on the Internet, but that day they received a very long private message on Weibo, which was about that video. The fans who made the video asked about this Is the video not done properly, should I add Sui Qingchi: "Actually, the purpose of making the video is just to think about Amway's current West Wind, but I am really worried that it will backfire and hold you back."
After reading the private message, Fu Cuo lost all sleepiness. He watched the video again. There was really no scene of Sui Qingchi in it, and He Bin was mentioned, but Sui Qingchi was not mentioned at all, only congratulations When Bin bin, incidentally, "after the first lead singer". It is not without regret in my heart that Sui Qingchi has been the lead singer in Xifeng for longer than He Bin and Fan Fan combined, but now this is the result.
Leaning against the bed, he turned off Weibo, opened the photo album of his mobile phone, and scrolled down several times, scrolling past the giggling Fan Fan, and the radiant He Bin, and finally those photos that had been dusty for a long time finally reappeared. From the group photo with fans after each performance, to the cover of the first album, to the group photo of four people in front of the tiger-painted second-hand car, Sui Qingchi used to be the most photographed person in his mobile phone album, even if Counting now, he is also the lead singer with the highest appearance rate on his mobile phone.
For a moment, Fu Cuo wanted to reply to the fan who made the video: He is our lead singer, please cut him in.
But in the end I still held back, it had already been cut off, adding it at this time would only make the quarrel worse, and the result of capriciousness was usually unfavorable in the end, so I had to reply "That's it".
After rehearsal the next day, when I came back from the company, the car passed by a street for supper, AK rolled down the window a crack, and the smell of all kinds of hot pot grilled crayfish wafted in. Seeing this, Tan Si was amused: "If you want to eat, go down and eat , what are you looking for to quench your thirst!"
Fu Cuo also noticed that since the game, let alone supper, AK has not even mentioned the celebration banquet after each qualifying match.
AK closed the window again, and said chicly: "It's boring to eat now, it's greasy and a waste of time, let's have a good celebration banquet after we win the game!"
Tan Si teased him: "You want to win the championship? Your face is too big!"
AK blushed: "Then at least the top three, it would be hypocritical to say it is too low!"
Fan Fan leaned on the front seat and asked, "Does the top three make you a lot of money?"
AK snorted: "You know money!"
Fan Fan said: "At least we can get together a down payment and renovation costs! I have already agreed with my mother to move to a new house at the end of the year!"
Tan Si said: "The bonus is probably not much money, so don't count on that, but if you can get the top three, you should have a lot of business resources."
Fan Fan leaned on the back seat and nodded. When the car drove onto the bridge, he suddenly jumped up, startling all three of them, and yelled like a child, "Damn, bro, We're going to be popular, right! West Wind is going to be popular, right?!"
Tan Si turned her head away, and could not laugh or cry: "I have sprayed my neck with saliva, and I haven't won the top three yet. Calm down."
AK glanced up and down at him in distaste: "Fanzi, did you falsely report your age? Why do I feel like we hired a child laborer?"
Fan Fan grinned and said to Fu Cuo, the co-pilot: "Captain, I'm so happy!"
Fu Cuo turned his head and smiled at him. Everyone in the car was infected by the joy of this twenty-three-year-old boy. Even the Ferris wheel spinning in front of the bridge seemed to be no longer a sad place, and it was flashing with joy all the way. .
Fu Cuo still remembers that when Fan Fan first joined the band, he said boldly that his dream was to make Xifeng the second LOTUS. In fact, no one asked him about his dream, but he said it straight away. The three of them were embarrassed by his tone, and AK even laughed at him with his belly in his arms. But when they first formed the band when they were seventeen years old, everyone seemed to think so. They took the LOTUS as their goal for granted, and worked hard without knowing the heights of the sky.
It seems to be back in the tiger-painted car back then. Tan Si has carried them and their musical instruments for so many years, from the winding mountain road in his hometown, to the tunnel of CTR College, and then to the bridge in S City, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, under the wind Rain, people gathered and scattered, and finally saw the scenery of the destination for the first time.
"Band Frenzy" has been eliminated all the way to only 16 teams left. Each of the advanced bands is very strong. From 16 to 8, the competition system has become a PK competition. The rankings of the first three qualifying rounds are also being discussed online. Although the fourth qualifying match has not yet been broadcast, after the announcement of the PK competition system, everyone's focus is on the bands with higher rankings:
—The five bands with the highest rankings in the three qualifying rounds, Zephyr: 3,1,3, Blower: 1,6,4, Namtso: 2,9,1, Damm: 3,5,5, Cannon Gunner: 5,3,6
— West Wind! ! ! If the competition is only based on qualifying, Xifeng will definitely win the championship!
—The number of Weibo fans of the band, Damm Dan first, Blower second, Zephyr third, Cannon Gunner fourth, Namtso fifth
— After all, Dumtan has a high average appearance, and has been called LOTUS second by fans. The number of fans on Weibo is the last four bands. Blower bought fans. They all admit it, saying that the company is messing up
—The three judges of the PK competition can only vote for one band. If Xifeng and these four PK, I wonder how Sui Qingchi will vote
— To be honest, Sui Qingchi is just a commercial singer after leaving Xifeng, what qualifications does he have to vote for the above bands, it’s so funny
- It's funny upstairs, his live skills, he can be a mentor for the lead singer of any of the bands above
—If I were Sui Qingchi, I would vote for Xifeng no matter how the band and Xifeng PK
—If he does this, it will be touching, and I, a West Wind fan, will cry just thinking about it! God, give me a chance to hug Sui Qingchi again!
- will be scolded as a shady
—Nili Xiao Sui will be scolded for care
—Sui Qingchi and Xifeng have no relationship with each other, it's hard to say
— It’s not that there is no cross-off, but off-off. I think it’s really hard to say, but to be honest, Xifeng is really strong. Among the albums of the band Crazy on Yinlang.com, the songs with the highest number of hits and downloads are those of Xifeng. This is the most telling, because the base is large, Namtso is too ecological, and the audience is not so high-minded. The Cannon Gunner is engaged in metal, and the public foundation is not good. It is mainly on-site bombing, but after a long bombing, the single style will still be a bit boring. The blower Those who play punk, the live atmosphere is very good, but the lyrics are a bit too saliva. The overall style of Dumtan is more similar to Zephyr, but the arrangement is better than Zephyr. Of course, Dumtan is the youngest in the band on average. The temperament is not bad, the potential is indeed high
—It’s all pretty good, it’s not that unlucky, let’s bump into these five in the next issue, I want to save them all until the end
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the recording of the fourth offline episode has also been completed. Xifeng temporarily ranked second in the number of on-site votes, and 50% of the votes still depend on the online voting after the broadcast. The next PK competition will be just in time for Qixi Festival, so the theme of this competition is love songs, and they must be original.
Fan Fan had a difficult time choosing a song in the rehearsal room: "I haven't sung many love songs in Xifeng." He looked up at the other three and said, "Why don't you sing what Brother Qingchi sang before?"
AK frowned: "It's not that simple. Sui Qingchi wrote the lyrics for those songs. If you want to sing, you have to contact Huanyi. It's very troublesome to deal with the copyright."
Fan Fan didn't take it seriously: "Let Handsome Peng get in touch, and you don't need to talk about it."
Tan Si pondered for a while: "In fact, there is a song that is quite suitable."
"Which song?" AK blinked, and passed through his mind, "Don't tell me, Sui Qingchi wrote quite a lot of love-themed songs. I didn't expect this kid to be a lover..."
Fu Cuo interrupted him and asked Tan Si: "Which song are you talking about?"
Tan Si: ""You Come to the Ferris Wheel with Puzzled Style"."
AK's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers: "Yes, this song is very suitable for the occasion!"
Fan Fan blinked, and suddenly realized self-righteously: "Oh, it's because of the Ferris wheel in S City!"
AK didn't bother to explain to him, so he laughed and said, "That's right! You're so smart!"
Fu Cuo didn't speak, Tan Si saw him hesitant, and said: "The lyrics are really not good, we can fill in a new one, or use the Ferris wheel as the theme."
AK also said: "I think it's okay to rewrite the lyrics."
Fan Fan eagerly hummed a few words: "I liked this song very much when I first heard Brother Qingchi sing it, and I thought that I would sing it to my girlfriend one day in the future, so this is the one!"
Stared at by three pairs of eyes, Fu Cuo finally nodded: "Okay, I will hurry up and write a first version of the word, and we will revise it together."
The next day, the program team released the highlights of the competition on the Internet, some of which were interviews with the three star judges. During the break between company rehearsals, Fan Fan excitedly put his phone on the shelf and asked everyone to watch it together.
Fu Cuo glanced at the phone screen, put down the guitar, walked behind Tan Si, and sat on the floor watching from afar.
Sui Qingchi's interview is undoubtedly the most played. In the preparation room, he was wearing a black sleeveless V-neck T-shirt and sat down on the single sofa with a mic pinned to the collar. After sitting down, he handed a white question board in front of him. , he got up to take it again, and then habitually crossed Erlang's legs, and the question board was placed flat on the crossed legs. Many people in the barrage noticed his movement, because he was not elegant, but a bit ostentatious, saying that he was uneducated, arrogant, and disrespectful.
AK tutted: "These people are really strict with him, his mother never asked him so much."
Fu Cuo didn't speak, Fan Fan laughed haha, probably thinking it was a joke.
The director's voice-over said that the questions were all collected from the audience of "Band Frenzy". Sui Qingchi rested his pen on the armrest of the sofa, twirled the pen, nodded indifferently, and said, "That's all said of".
Most of the questions are very boring. When Sui Qingchi finished writing on the question board and revealed the answer, lines flashed across the barrage in an instant, "The writing is beautiful", "The best handwriting among young artists", "Sui Qingchi's handwriting A bit fanciful”…
The director's voice asked again: "We did a statistic here. Fifty bands were promoted in the primary election. You only voted for eighteen bands during the qualifying round. What kind of band would you vote for? The most important thing when voting. what?"
Sui Qingchi frowned and thought for a while: "Creative ability."
"why?"
"I don't know," Sui Qingchi raised his shoulders, "Maybe because I don't know how to write songs, I admire those who write well."
"The next question, which of the twenty bands that have advanced now is your favorite? Please write it on the question board."
Sui Qingchi raised his eyebrows, and stopped turning the pen: "Do I have to answer?"
"Yes."
Sui Qingchi frowned again: "Have the other two judges answered?"
"They all answered," the voice-over said.
Seeing this, Fan Fan slapped the floor and shouted, "I'm lying to you! They didn't answer!"
Sui Qingchi sat there without moving. It should have been longer than the clip they saw. A row of ".jpg" floated across the barrage. He raised the question board silently. Although he didn't speak, he took a deep breath, and he could feel the aggressive pressure from him through the screen. In this section, he only heard the sound of him lifting the question board and writing on it. The director made no sound at all. When he was writing, he lowered his eyes, but he didn't bow his head very much. There was a subtle arrogance. The question board was erected on his lap, so he couldn't see what he was writing clearly. When he was writing, he said "write whatever you want." , the voice was very deep, and the director hurriedly responded with "hmmm", and finally Sui Qingchi showed "Dum Dan", and more than one voice said "Oh~~" in the voice-over, Sui Qingchi turned over the question board after she finished In the past, the words were erased.
Although it is not incomprehensible for Sui Qingchi to write like this, but Fu Cuo looked at Fan Fan's appearance, and was still a little disappointed, especially when "It's not West Wind", "I knew he couldn't write West Wind", "The beginning and the end" floated on the bullet screen. Abandonment * Heartless people can't collapse" "Sui Qingchi, do you really think that Damm is better than West Wind?"
The director asked why it was a dum bomb.
Sui Qingchi said: "Didn't you let me write casually?"
The director said, "Uh, okay, okay."
AK watched and shook his head, and said to Tan Si next to him, "You said that he has been in the entertainment industry for three years, and he will be fooled like this, isn't he stupid?"
Of course Sui Qingchi is not stupid, Fu thought wrongly, but it may be that he cared too much about this question, and instead set himself a position that he had to answer. He propped himself up from the floor: "Okay, let's rehearse."
They finished writing the lyrics before the TV station notified the rehearsal, and changed the name of the new song to "Ferris Wheel". After finishing writing, Fan Fan still felt that Sui Qingchi's version was better, so AK taught him: "You are a fan filter, preconceived, I just look good!"
I don't know if he convinced himself, but Fu Cuo looked at AK's heroic slapping of the lyrics, and thought amusedly, in fact, he himself was not sure that the lyrics would be better than Sui Qingchi's version.
When I went to the studio for rehearsal, the stage design teacher discussed the stage design with them. A Ferris wheel and fireworks would appear on the big screen behind the stage. Fu Cuo looked up at the huge screen. Although the picture of fireworks blooming behind the Ferris wheel was beautiful, but He always felt that there was still some distance from the artistic conception of this song. After thinking about it, he pointed to the screen and asked the choreographer: "Can this one be done without a Ferris wheel?"
The choreographer asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"I want to use the blue sky and white clouds, is that okay?"
After the rehearsal, they saw the live effect of the filming, entered the chorus, the broken chords of the piano sounded, and the electric guitar made a particularly dreamy long sound, and the lyrics sang "a little bit, close to your face, one second, stop When the time is down", a slowly rising blue sky appeared on the screen, the entire stage turned blue, and white dry ice spray covered the stage. Fu mistakenly felt that this feeling was right.
"Wow..." Fan Fan sighed, "It's so romantic, it really feels like sitting on a Ferris wheel..."
AK said: "You still sing too much, you have to imagine the feeling of sitting on a Ferris wheel with your girlfriend, if you really can't do it, you can copy Sui Qingchi's feeling!"
The teammates were still sitting by the stage, watching the effect together with their heads together. Fu Cuo stood up and walked over to thank the band, choreographer, and photography teacher.
The rehearsal was tiring, and they had a holiday when they returned to the company that afternoon. Fu Cuo stayed for a while and discussed with Peng Shuai about releasing a digital album at the end of the year. After passing the rehearsal room, they found that Fan Fan hadn't left yet.
He stood outside the door and listened to Fan Fan singing the new version of "Ferris Wheel". He was trying to imitate Sui Qingchi, but he was really imitating the other, nondescript, and he couldn't help laughing.
He knocked on the door, Fan Fan craned his neck to look over, pulled off the earphones: "Captain, you haven't left yet?"
"Stop practicing," Fu Cuo opened the door to signal him to come out, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."
The place to go is the Eye of D City.
This is the second time, to be precise, it is the third time he has visited the third largest Ferris wheel in China. Unexpectedly, that funny notice was still posted there. When he passed by it, Fu Cuo stopped and looked at it. nostalgia.
Fan Fan pointed at the slogan and laughed exaggeratedly. Sui Qingchi didn't react like this at the time. He always felt that Sui Qingchi was like an actor at that time, performing a fascinating and dazzling lover.
The cabin is still spacious and bright, the windows are bright and clean, the scenery outside the cabin has not changed, but the people in the cabin are different.
The higher it went, the quieter it became. When the surroundings were once again surrounded by pure blue, even Fan Fan, who was restless, became quiet.
"Brother Cuo, what were you thinking when you wrote this song?" Fan Fan asked.
"...I just want to sit here with the person I like." Fu Cuo said, looking out the window. There really is nothing else.
The Ferris wheel reached the highest point little by little, and Fan Fan was sitting opposite, holding up his mobile phone and taking pictures outside the window, but Fu Cuo suddenly felt a little lonely.
The wish at the highest point of the Ferris wheel is to hope that West Wind can reach the top little by little. Fan Fan can buy an elevator room for his mother, and stop painting big cakes. Tan Si can take them to travel to the motherland and learn from Mr. Bei in the wild. Let's have fun... In addition to these, it would be great if the wish of standing outside the Xinghe Stadium at the age of seventeen can be realized, even if it is only once in a lifetime, it can be regarded as living up to the once-in-a-lifetime youth.
When I came down from the Ferris wheel that day, the sky was covered with sunset, Fan Fan said: "Brother Wrong, I can sing this song well, trust me."
Fu Cuo didn't know what to say, he seemed to be unable to be moved by other people's promises, and finally said: "I don't think you need to learn from him."
Be yourself, no one can imitate him.
Two days later, the PK game officially started, and the 16 teams were going to draw lots on the spot. However, they were not in charge of the lottery, but three star judges. When Pharaoh drew the first group of PK bands, the preparation room was so quiet that everyone stared at Pharaoh's hand with trepidation.
Fu Cuo watched the two bands in the first group play against each other. At this moment, it is difficult for them to devote themselves to the stage performance when they are preparing for the battle. The voting process is long and tormented. Each band is canvassing for itself. Those words that I said at the time touched tears, because those difficulties, those ups and downs, all those who are in the band have experienced it. When the results of the competition came out, watching one of the bands leave with tears in their eyes, one would feel a sense of helplessness. There is actually no big gap between the 16 bands on the stage. They are all a group of people relying on their music to impress others. Rockers, but the gap between the top 16 and the top 8, maybe there will be a natural barrier between them in the future.
After less than an hour of recording, two bands have already been eliminated, and the people who came back did not seem very happy, but more relieved and survived the catastrophe.
It was Sui Qingchi's turn, and the host walked up to him with a card. Sui Qingchi didn't hesitate and drew the first card from the left.
The host nodded: "Okay, the third band to PK is..."
Sui Qingchi glanced at the face of the card, and raised it towards the camera: "Dum bomb."
The audience applauded. This was the first time that a high-ranking band was selected. The audience was naturally looking forward to it, but there was only more stalemate tension in the preparation room. The back of a person is not easy.
The host turned his back and shuffled the cards again, then turned around and said, "OK, please draw another card."
Sui Qingchi was about to draw the second card from the left when the host suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"
Sasha next to him glanced at the host and persuaded Sui Qingchi: "Choose again, you can choose again!"
Sui Qingchi stared at the host with very sharp eyes, and everyone in the preparation room prayed nervously: "Don't choose this one!" "That one must be ranked high!" "I don't think Brother Dong will Suddenly cheat him..."
Sui Qingchi still drew this one, and Fu Cuo was not surprised at all. There was a wail of "I knew it" and "It's just so unmoved" in the preparation room.
The host laughed and said, "No matter how I shuffle the cards, you will draw from left to right, right?"
Sui Qingchi didn't reply, and Sui Qingchi's card face couldn't be seen on the screen in the preparation room, only Sui Qingchi took out the card and glanced down, then swallowed quickly.
Fu Cuo heard a musician from a certain band behind him saying: "Judging from his expression, he should be ranked high..."
The host said: "The band that played against Damm is..."
In the camera, Sui Qingchi held the card and kept looking at it, and Fu Cuo suddenly felt a strong anxiety.
"The bands of the third group PK are Dum Tan and..." The host cue to Sui Qingchi for the second time.
Sui Qingchi turned the card over, rolled his throat, and said:
"West Wind."
