Strong Counterattack

Chapter 123

Views:

It was so late and the shop was not open. But the little boss informed in advance that there would be a show to watch that night, and those who came could receive free side dishes and drinks. The old customers in the store were so excited that their faces turned red.

Who is the little boss? Wannian will give you one yuan for every 100 yuan you spend doing activities, and he will stare at you for the remaining one yuan with those strangely shining eyes. Free food delivery is really a miracle.

Can you not join in the fun when you encounter a miracle? It's not in line with human nature.

They are not afraid of any marketing traps made by the little boss, because he has always been very sincere and does not lie.

Moreover, when the small boss puts out this kind of advertisement, the subtext is obviously that he needs people to support him. We have been customers for many years and can be called friends, so they still have to support us.

So the diners who were bored after get off work simply came here with their families. Those who didn't come early enough were kicked out because they had no land, and they were squealing and showing pity at the door.

The little boss was making milk tea and sweet soup at the kitchen counter. He was stirring the pot with a spoon and glanced at them with his eyes.

A group of people gathered around Ji Zhiyi, trying to restrain themselves but unable to help but be curious.

"This is my first time watching TV with someone who's going to be on TV."

"Can you sign something for me later?"

"Can you sing a song? I listen to it on the radio every day. I want to know what it feels like to hear it live."

Ji Zhiyi said modestly: "I'm not a star yet, thank you."

Half an hour later, Zhang Fangfang squeezed in from the door with his distant and neat hair.

"My agent." Ji Zhiyi introduced.

Everyone was curious: "Wow, a real agent!"

Zhang Fangfang didn't expect that one day he would be as popular as a celebrity. He was flattered and nodded slightly.

When the diners were about to chat, the headlights in the store suddenly dimmed. The surroundings were dark, with only the orange light coming from the glass door.

Then the power supply in the walkway outside the door was cut off, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Fangfang was startled, and his first thought was to take Ji Zhiyi away quickly. Who knows what this mess is like.

When he was about to catch Ji Zhiyi in the dark, a beam of blue light came down from above his head. The light was dim and could only illuminate the vague outline of the store.

The waiter shouted: "Please sit down in an orderly manner and don't move around. We're starting!"

The diners very consciously moved their chairs and leaned to the other side of the screen.

Zhang Fangfang was still confused. When he turned around, he saw Ji Zhiyi sitting opposite.

The side projection is turned on and the screen is set to movie viewing mode. After making sure everyone is in their correct positions, the blue light is dimmed again.

An advertisement is playing on the screen, and there is still 15 seconds left in the countdown. Everyone waited patiently for the show to start.

Immediately after the mute was cancelled, music flowed from the speakers. It is the light music selected later in the program.

Zhang Fangfang raised his head in shock when he heard the voice and looked around for the equipment.

The sound quality is extraordinary at first sight. Such high-end speakers are used in ordinary restaurants. The boss is really rich.

Now let’s play the preview of “This is the Singer”. The picture is very simple and has the feel of a documentary.

The chief director of the program has confidence and excitement in his eyes, and is explaining the concept of launching this program.

"My daughter watches a lot of music shows or talent shows, and she asked me if singing skills can only be heard by professionals? What is CD-level sound quality? She listened to the songs on the TV show perfectly. I It’s not that the singer and technique are perfect, it’s that the musician is perfect.”

"We invited six singers this time and searched a lot of information before selecting them. We made sure that each one has enough strength. We just want to tell everyone what a real singer is. Singing is not a skill that relies solely on talent. A job that lasts forever, it also requires learning, skills, and experience. It is the same as other industries, except that it is more demanding. Talent is just a ticket."

"Pitch repairing and lip-synching are unspoken rules that are not often mentioned. Especially now that the equipment is becoming more and more advanced and the technicians' skills are becoming more and more powerful, the singer's own strength does not seem to be so important. Truly talented people , but because of external conditions, they were excluded and put the cart before the horse. This time, we just want to break this industry weird phenomenon. I hope that those who have strength can let more people see their strength. You just know what singing is and what lip-synching is."

This was followed by several professional musicians and footage from the rehearsal.

After this segment was broadcast, the program finally officially started.

At the beginning, several singers appeared one after another. After they arrived at the TV station, they were led to the resting hall by the program team.

Several newcomers had already taken their places and lined up to applaud to show their respect.

The singers invited by the program team try to keep their age under forty, so as to avoid physical strength and voice from dragging down their performance.

These are all powerful singers who were once popular and then gradually retired. There are four men and two women, and one male singer has even started to gain weight.

Ji Zhiyi was arranged by the program to arrive last.

When her figure appeared on the indoor screen, everyone fell silent.

Discuss quietly:

"I've never seen her before."

"So young. Are you from the singer group?"

"She has a very popular song recently and she is an original singer."

"oh."

The five people discussed it without any interest, and then abruptly turned to other topics.

The program also gave a close-up of everyone's face.

They have been in the industry for so many years, and their facial expressions are well controlled. Only one male singer with small eyes frowned slightly, probably a little dissatisfied. I think the show sounds good on the surface, but in the end I think they will be used to praise newcomers. In the blink of an eye, the scene of the subsequent fight was even imagined in his mind.

Soon Ji Zhiyi opened the door and came in, shaking hands with them and saying hello. He smiled politely, neither humble nor overbearing. After the greetings, he sat at the edge and raised his collar.

She is obviously the youngest among the singers, but she is the one who wears the simplest clothes. Jeans and black Martin boots, a look that you can go shopping after the show.

The atmosphere in the house has not changed because of Ji Zhiyi's appearance. The seniors have friendships with each other, have common topics, and joke with each other. The conversation is interesting and interesting, and the advantages of cuteness and down-to-earthness are instantly brought out.

However, this was a joke among peers, and the younger generation did not dare to get involved. The newlyweds sat on a high stool in the back row and were only responsible for exaggerated and emotional compliments.

Ji Zhiyi, who didn't know how to flatter, was undoubtedly isolated. She simply sat aside in silence, looking at the wall in a daze with focus. The newcomer on one side looked at her vaguely and did not come forward to talk to her.

The program crew seemed to be afraid that everyone would not notice the awkwardness of the scene, so they shamefully drew a lightning crack between the two sides of the scene, painted Ji Zhiyi's area with black and white special effects of ice and snow, and wrote the word "deserted" in big letters.

Ji Zhiyi turned his head and smiled at the camera.

What an embarrassment to entertain oneself

Although I know that this is a common tactic used by the program crew to highlight conflicts and increase the focus, so as to facilitate later whitewashing, it still makes people feel unhappy.

Zhang Fangfang wanted to touch his phone to read the reviews, but finally held back. I wonder what kind of bloody chaos the barrage area is now, and they are probably about to be massacred.

He squinted his eyes to peek at Ji Zhiyi's reaction, but the other party's expression was indifferent as if he didn't care. Even smiled.

Zhang Fangfang couldn't help but sigh, his mental quality is really strong.

The little boss took off his apron at this time, leaned against the wall in the last row, and immersed himself in brushing the barrage.

"Just dress up properly when you go on the show. Or are you spending all your money and can't afford good clothes?"

"It's okay to dress casually, but what kind of off-brand brands are these?"

"The new signer of friendship? Oh my god, he's the last one to show up. Are you trying to be a big name? Where did the pheasant come from? Don't you have any skills at all?"

"Can she be in the singer group? Isn't this show so popular? Can all the newcomers be in it?"

"Damn it, it feels like you're stingy at the end of the meal. I believe the show crew when they say it's poor."

"Have you seen everyone's looks and attitudes? Resource guys are resource guys, please be more aggressive and get out of here as soon as possible."

"Same emoticon. Who the hell is this? I, Qingqing, are simply devaluing myself by going on this show. I feel bad."

The little boss was replying, and in the dark space, someone suddenly muttered: "You are so immeasurable."

Someone soon echoed: "It's not unreasonable to get confused later."

"When there are people you don't know well, you definitely can't always talk about topics that deliberately prevent others from getting involved. It's obvious that you are isolating."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn't this what I look like when I'm showing off?"

"Well, when I get older, my eyes are poisoned, and I don't like to watch young people's programs. I see too many things in the world."

Some young people wondered: "Are you thinking too much? It's just that we don't have a common language, right?"

"Isn't it obvious what they did? This is cold violence. Everyone wants to have face, and they must not do something as low as cynicism."

"We are all singers. Isn't our profession a common language?"

The young man who asked the question said "Oh" doubtfully.

The little boss's face changes brightly and darkly in the reflection on the mobile phone screen. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he quickly stopped.

His customers are indeed quite discerning.

He put his phone back into his trouser pocket, crossed his arms over his chest and continued watching the variety show.

At this time, the program has entered the next stage.

The program team brought a box for drawing lots, and six people took turns to go up and draw lots.

Ji Zhiyi's new song was actually selected into the music library, and it was coincidentally chosen by another female singer in the group.

Her name is Gu Ruguang, and fans like to call her Sister Guang.

In fact, she was not very popular back then, because the company she signed with was only average, and the quality of the songs she recorded was not that good. Her covers are more famous than her own works. In fan promotion, he is an example of a typical person who is not popular.

She looked at the note in her hand and asked: ""Unreached Letter", is this song difficult?"

Ji Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's very simple. I just sang it casually."

Gu Ruguang raised his head and glanced at her, without saying anything, he put the note away.

Fan Qing smiled sweetly and asked, "What song did Teacher Ji draw?"

Ji Zhiyi was still a little uncomfortable with this little flower and said, "Break the formation."

"call-"

Unfortunately, this is probably the most difficult song among the six. It is an episode in a large-scale costume war drama, and the original singer is a big-shot male singer.

Everyone looked at her with sympathy immediately.

How unlucky it must be to get this song.

The audience was also shocked.

... There is no shady secret in this link? !

The six people then went to different rooms to learn new songs and prepare for the rehearsal.

The final official performance will be performed in the order of their arrival. So Ji Zhiyi was ranked last.

Of course, this had been arranged long ago, and it was also to take care of her, so that she could have more time to study.

During the rehearsal, the chief director temporarily adjusted the competition format.

He divided the six newcomers into three groups.

After the two singers finished singing, the audience selected one of the songs and let a new group of singers sing it again.

This change has nothing to do with Ji Zhiyi, she just needs to prepare her own songs with peace of mind.

A diner asked in a low voice: "Spoiler, where did you end up?"

Ji Zhiyi said: "There is no ranking."

Everyone wondered: "What's the point of watching if there's no ranking? There has to be some gimmick in the show, right? Just asking people to sing won't make it popular, right?"

Ji Zhiyi said mysteriously: "You'll know after you see it."

This show can achieve high ratings just by complaining.

In the middle transition scene, the little boss turns on the light and asks them to get drinks.

When the store became quiet again, the first singer officially came on stage.

During the show, Ji Zhiyi put down the music score in his hand and sat on the sofa staring at the screen. The posture is almost exactly the same as that of the people in the store.

When diners looked around, they felt a strange sense of time and space folding.

The first male singer to appear is a well-known and capable singer. Participated in many Spring Festival Galas. The treble is deep, the voice is mainstream, and the figure is even bigger. However, the song he drew was completely inconsistent with his past style... It was a cute song with a coquettish tone. The original singer's voice was thin and sweet, with a baby voice.

Listen to the title of this song, it's called "My Little Sweetheart".

When the male singer stood on the stage, he still looked troubled, shrugged to the audience, and then bowed.

When he picked up the microphone, the audience laughed.

"My little sweetheart, for everyone."

The audience burst out laughing.

The subsequent singing session did not disappoint everyone.

He wanted to show his little woman's delicate side, but his voice and the muscles in his body didn't allow it. He performed with all his heart, but the audience burst into laughter. In the end, he gave up on himself and returned to his original voice. His voice was an octave higher and he shouted with a loud voice: "My little sweetheart, take me into your arms quickly -"

So coquettishness turned into an oath. The style of painting is 180 degrees off.

"What a disaster hahaha!"

"It's so funny. I can't imagine Teacher Han's masculine voice singing 'My Little Sweetheart~'."

"I actually think it tastes good. Meditating"

"I can't hold you, Teacher Han, you're too big."

"The high notes are still so perfect~ I know you worked hard!"

After singing, he sighed dejectedly, shook his head, and walked off the stage, seemingly deeply hit.

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and the atmosphere was wonderfully stirred up.

When he got backstage, a tall man of nearly 1.9 meters kept looking back, as if he was afraid of the stage, and kept muttering and complaining:

"I heard that this song ranked third. Young people today really don't understand it. When I saw the title of the song, I knew it was over. But the audience didn't cooperate with my performance."

There was a burst of laughter inside and outside the venue, and the second singer came on time.

The style of the second song does not have such a strong contrast, and the performance is quite satisfactory. It can only be said to be a normal interpretation.

The enthusiasm of the previous scene was quickly submerged under this contrast, and the audience was a little disappointed.

A few comments passed boringly in the comment area:

"It's just so-so."

"It sounds pretty good, but it's not that exaggerated."

"The original song sounds better."

"My little Madoka is so awesome!"

"The live show is different from the recording. The teacher is a teacher, and we, Xiao Yuan, are still newbies. Thank you all."

However, this argument took a sharp turn when the first group of newcomers appeared.

The two newcomers who appeared in the first group are both outstanding in appearance and came from the talent show. One has already released an album, and the sales are pretty good. One of them has released two singles, which are very popular on the Internet.

Externally, they have always followed the line of "Obviously they can rely on their looks, but they have to rely on their talent."

Of course this is a common thread for almost all newcomers.

The audience voted for the second song.

Watching the funny thing once is enough. They want to hear the second song more and see if the newcomer can sing better than the singer.

The following is a very interesting feeling.

Their purpose is very clear, exposure, so it makes sense for the two to sing separately.

Defects in the sound will be amplified as the microphone amplifies. In addition, the two knew that their singing was not as good as their predecessors, and the most attractive thing was their appearance, so they added a dance in the middle, hoping to make up for the gap between the two parties and gain points for themselves.

This behavior is simply seeking death, it can be described as a quick death.

Big movements themselves will affect breathing, and even powerful singers dare not sing and dance at will, not to mention they are still two newcomers. Especially this song is not simple yet. I was jumping and jumping, and I couldn't catch my breath. I couldn't catch my breath, and my voice started to drift.

A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org

They naively thought that the program team would help them fix the sound later. This is almost the default rule in the industry.

It turned out not to be.

The picture was so beautiful that Ji Zhiyi was so calm that he was a little suffocated.

The little boss kindly opened the barrage. At this time, the barrage and comments exploded, and the white fonts completely covered the entire screen. Including the handsome face that is showing off its charming lips and evil smile.

“…”

"What?"

"Where is the successor to the singer that the fans are talking about? What the hell is this?"

"Is it really released like this? No sound editing?"

"Why is the voice so trembling? Why is it broken and out of tune? Is this also a singer? Is his professional ability really good?"

"Damn it, I can actually hear the out-of-tune sound. I'm about to cry!"

"What kind of heavenly sound is this! It's the flesh and bones of the living dead! It's even better than the opening remarks of the Spring Festival Gala!"

"Damn that charming singing voice that was released in the talent show back then, you told me it was the hand of God with millions of tuners?! The singer I fell in love with was actually Schrödinger?"

There was even more screaming in the store, because the stereo that the young boss bought at a high price clearly showed its flaws. The diners covered their ears and shouted: "Fuck!!"

One girl was even more excited and stood up: "Damn, I'm a fan of his! Why does this voice sound so disillusioned?"

The girl grabbed Ji Zhiyi and asked, "Is it true? This was not deliberately smeared in the later stage, right?"

Ji Zhiyi thought for a while and said, "Absolutely."

The girl sobbed truly: "I cried!!"

Ji Zhiyi consoled him: "It would be much better if I didn't dance. They are too focused on the stage effect."

The girl looked sad and couldn't listen to anything. I couldn't bear to see my idol shattered with my own eyes, so I turned my back, silently enjoying the charming singing, and said my final farewell to life.

The little boss thoughtfully turned up the volume one notch again. The diners cursed each other.

Ji Zhiyi thought absentmindedly, wondering how many hot searches it had already made. The effect was more explosive than what she had seen in her previous life.

why

Ji Zhiyi lowered his head and pondered.

Could it be that his appearance in the singer group made the newcomers feel oppressed

She must be angry and dissatisfied, but she still understands it very well.

Next to him, Zhang Fangfang pulled Ji Zhiyi's sleeve and said excitedly: "It's 7! It was only 0.5% at the beginning, and now it's 0.7%. Oh no, it's 0.8% now! The popularity on the Internet has begun to rise!"

The person next to me asked curiously: "Is this level considered high?"

"It's much better than expected. After all, today is Thursday. Moreover, the early promotion of this show was so-so, so it is normal to start low. But how long has it been since it started airing now? It is already rising at a high speed, both in terms of discussion and broadcast volume. Fei, maybe it can break 1 in the later period." Zhang Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But compared with Guardian's golden variety show, it's probably just a fraction."

Ji Zhiyi nodded: "It will still rise."

The average ratings of this show are close to 2%, making it a veritable hit. If the opening had been during prime time, it would have probably been broken.

Zhang Fangfang was originally relaxed, but Ji Zhiyi was not nervous. Instead, he became nervous.

"Keep it, keep it, hurry up and get on the stage while there are many people watching."

Ji Zhiyi smiled.

She feels that now that newcomers are being ridiculed so badly, everyone should want to see her leave the country more. As long as she performs poorly, she can scold the program team for being shady and saying she is unworthy of her role. But isn't that just going to divert the public's focus

There is always a shorter one among the dwarfs.

While they were talking, Gu Ruguang appeared. Wearing a floor-length dress, she carefully walked out from backstage. After years of careful maintenance, the figure is still graceful. As soon as he appeared, screams filled the hall.

The lights came down from behind, and she smiled and nodded to the audience.

When she actually got "Unreached Letter", she wanted to curse.

How simple is this song? Various treble stacks. When she saw the title of the song, she thought it was a more literary song, but she didn't expect it to be a light rock song.

However, Ji Zhiyi's voice is very powerful, he can sing high notes with ease, and his grasp of details is extremely high.

I didn't expect that young man to have such strength.

Gu Ruguang knew that he was not good at high notes, and he was too old to compete with Ji Zhiyi's skills. Shocked, he took the initiative to avoid it. Finally, she adapted the song. If it can be confused with falsetto, use falsetto. The whole song has been dropped twice, and the style has become more soothing.

Regarding this song, there has been a polarizing debate on the Internet because of the killer performance of the previous group of newcomers.

"Not as good as Ji Zhiyi!"

"The original song sounds better. The high notes have been changed."

"Gu Ruguang is old,"

"Ji Zhiyi's navy?"

"I can't bear to see everyone talking about navy. The original song is really good, but the difficulty level is different."

"What the hell, after what happened just now, do you still believe in the songs in the music software? That was the work of the sound engineer, okay?"

"Wait until your master can sing at Sister Guang's level before you speak out. Oh, by the way, she will appear soon."

I have never seen such a controversial show. I don’t know whether I should say that the show team is causing trouble, but the Internet has completely exploded.

Various voices criticizing the show crew for being unkind flooded the show crew's official account. Pink and black gathered to party with each other.

As for the fans of the guests who have not yet performed, they are even more restless at this time. I even wanted to call the TV station to stop broadcasting.

Zhang Fangfang has no time to worry about the program. He is not interested in what other people are singing now and is focused on the ratings without wavering.

"It's 0.9!" He almost jumped up from his stool and clenched his fists: "The real-time rating is 0.9! It's still rising! Now it's on three hot searches at the same time, Ji Zhiyi, you are going to be popular!"

Ji Zhiyi nodded calmly.

Zhang Fangfang's glasses slipped down. He completely lost his persona and smiled intently at the side.

A cup of tea was handed over in the dark, along with a small piece of cake.

Ji Zhiyi felt warm in his hand.

The customer at the back said: "The boss gave it to you."

Ji Zhiyi turned around and seemed to see that shadowy figure smiling.

At this time, Gu Ruguang finished his performance and walked off the stage. She coughed, covered her throat and apologized: "My throat feels uncomfortable today. I have a cold, and I can't sing high notes. I really didn't perform well and feel uncomfortable."

Everyone in the store was dissatisfied:

"They're all excuses!"

"Obviously you sing better!"

"Why didn't you say you had a cold before singing?"

The subsequent sessions were basically spent in arguments and scoldings, and the controversy led to an increase in ratings.

The data slowly climbed, and it actually broke 1.

There are all kinds of troll-like voices appearing on the Internet.

"Is this kind of show meaningful? Can anyone really sing well? It's just a hype stunt!"

"Even a few teachers sang so-so, so what is the purpose of this kind of program dedicated to disillusionment?"

"What's wrong with the defective treble? It's not like this to be clever?"

Anyway, it’s just to drag everyone down together.

At this time, Ji Zhiyi in the show stood up and began to prepare to go on stage.

Everyone was excited. He reached over and patted her shoulder and said:

"Come on!"

"come on!"

"Wow, wow, wow, little sister, I'm so nervous! You're about to go on stage!"

Ji Zhiyi: "..."
