Money Can't Buy It, I'm Willing [Entertainment Circle]

Chapter 111 Poisonous Tongue

Air-conditioning, iced drinks, and comfortable soft chairs, this place is simply heaven!

Qin Ji bit his straw and took another sip of his drink. His eyes were so happy that he almost squinted his eyes. So in the summer, such activities as outdoor publicity, or playing games in variety shows are simply torture. This kind of announcement is really stunning as long as you sit and blow the cold wind!

However, if something goes wrong with such a highly professional program, it will be beyond redemption. It is enough for others to laugh for a year. The positioning in the program is accurate.

There are a total of four judges on the show, one is a veteran artist, it would be a bit tricky to evaluate singing skills in front of her, and although Qin Ji's singing skills are generally recognized as not bad, he is not specialized in singing skills after all. A well-known singer, his professionalism is definitely not comparable to this one.

The other is a well-known writer of youth emotional novels in China—although Qin Ji doesn’t quite understand why a writer joins in the fun of such a professional singing show, but it’s not feasible to talk about the emotions that singers give to songs. Qin Ji can feel more deeply than this writer, but his words are far inferior to this writer's eloquence, which resonates with the audience.

There is also a top-notch concert director. Qin Ji has not held a personal concert yet, but it does not prevent the director's name from being heard frequently in the circle. The evaluation of stage performance is basically dominated by him.

Then Qin Ji also has some advantages that he has but they do not have, such as creative ability, Qin Ji can be said to be the only one of the four judges who has the ability to create songs, so his starting point is to evaluate the songs sung by the contestants. The adaptation is exquisite, but there are some shortcomings.

Basically, even if the show is singing its own songs, it will be adapted, giving people a refreshing feeling. Of course, if someone directly plays the original song, then Qin Ji has nothing to say. After all, there are no deficiencies in other people's adaptations. Problem, but if someone else's original song has a problem, it's a public slap in the face, which is somewhat bad.

Although there is no difference in essence between the two, it is so strange in the circle that the records after release will achieve a certain degree of success, and even the most critical musicians will not foolishly disclose this kind of finished product. Point out what's wrong with this song, or if fans who like this song come up and tear you up, the original singer will probably hate you in his heart.

I'm not a music critic, they're all in the same circle, and I don't have any big grudges, so I don't want to go up and tear people's face, even if you are a producer, even if you are a good friend of the original singer, you can say whatever you want before the release, after the release Then hold back all the words, you said that it is impossible to take back all the sold records and remake them before selling them.

Qin Ji leaned on the back of the chair, thinking about the list of singers who will be on stage today, and couldn't help frowning.

For the sake of professionalism and appreciation of the show, the singers on stage must come to live rehearsals, but those few rehearsals did not bring their directors, the purpose is to let them show the most natural performance when they see the performance .

And the first singer who will be on stage today can be said to have a deep relationship with Qin Ji. Li Li, who debuted at the same time as Qin Ji and was called the two newcomer kings, sometimes has such a strange fate. Overwhelming Qin Ji, but now one sits on a soft chair as a judge, while the other needs to curry favor with him through performances.

Since Li Li's plagiarism scandal broke out, everyone on the Internet has called Li Li into a fight. Although he has a few fans who support him, it is of no avail. Fortunately, people's interest comes and goes quickly. Today you still hate it so much that you hate it, but tomorrow you will be attracted by other things-after all, you have no interest in them, it's just a pastime after dinner.

It wasn't until the limelight passed in the middle of last year that Li Li officially came back, and became popular with the magical style of his new album... How should I put it, Qin Ji doesn't like his new album very much, it doesn't have any subjective color dislike.

The dance music that Li Li sang before was regarded as a saliva song, but it is definitely not as saliva as his current song. Every song keeps repeating the same rhythm and the same lyrics, as if it is brainwashing over and over again, and even some songs he sang It takes less than a third of the time, all relying on the magical rhythm, funny MV and some weird dance steps.

This kind of song that has no connotation and is purely entertainment, it is understandable to make a song once in a while, but the whole album is in this style. up.

As Qin Ji had expected, this time Li Li still walked in an eye-catching way, with dark red leather jacket and pants, strange makeup, strange hairstyle, strange dance, and the lyrics that he didn't even need to sing a few words, That's not what a singer should do, because he's not singing, he's acting, entertaining people, like comedians do.

A few years ago, Li Li was still an idol. With his good appearance, he won a lot of fans. The character design is also cool and handsome. Now, the painting style has changed and he has gone straight to the funny style, and the character design that follows the trend is also now The popular funny comparison style, this abrupt style of painting does not know how his former die-hard fans feel.

However, Qin Ji's headache now is that after Li Li's performance is over, how should he evaluate... According to Qin Ji's position, he should talk about adaptation, but Qin Ji was slapped in the face in the first performance today—— Li Li put all his energy on how to attract attention. He made a funny look, re-arranged the dance, and took the song intact.

This kind of song is actually the best adaptation, there is no emotional tone, just add some drums, chords, and change the speed of some parts appropriately, and you can achieve good results, but unfortunately he didn't.

There is no way, then I can only say something irrelevant at that time... I hope that the people who will appear later will let him say something. A show is so soy sauced from the beginning to the end, and he has no face to come again.

Singing and dancing, Li Li ended his performance with a little heavy panting, and no matter what the professionals in the judges' seat thought, at least most of the audience at the scene cheered up.

While the host was chatting with Li Li on the stage, Qin Ji seized the last time to come up with some comments that could be heard at least to a certain level. But to be honest, Li Li's performance can fully show his previous strength , although he didn't sing a few words in the whole song, but whenever he opened his mouth to sing, his breath was steady.

You know, while dancing such an intense dance, you can also ensure the stability of your breath when singing. This is already a performance that can prove your strength.

"I think you can't wait to hear what the judges have to say! What do the judges think about Li Li's performance?" The host smiled and ended the conversation between him and Li Li, and brought the progress to Qin Ji. himself.

Fortunately, Qin Ji immediately regained his senses when he heard the host's words, so that the cameraman did not catch him in a daze. Qin Ji straightened out his thoughts, and commented methodically: "Li Li's grasp of the whole song is very good, The style of electronic dance music mixed with rock is full of appeal, but the most brilliant part is the chorus part, you added some bluegrass music, right?"

Speaking of which, Qin Ji still didn't forget to interact with Li Li on the stage. He did such a perfect job as a judge for the first time, and Qin Ji wanted to give himself a thumbs up!

Li Li nodded somewhat cautiously, but the atmosphere on the field was still very natural, without the slightest embarrassment that Qin Ji was afraid of appearing before.

"The hard and fast, high and dense bluegrass rhythm is undoubtedly well integrated with the style of this song, which has raised the appeal of the song by more than one level. I believe that I am not the only one who can't help but feel emotional when he hears the chorus want to dance to the beat”

There wasn't much to say, and Qin Ji didn't intend to talk nonsense to steal the spotlight, so he turned his head and handed the topic to the writer sitting next to him after he finished speaking, "Is that so, Liu? Miss? I saw you shaking slightly just now!"

Liu Qing smiled shyly, stretched out her hand to tie up her long hair hanging on her chest, then slightly lowered her head and said to the microphone in front of her, "It's true, Li Li's performance is very dynamic, as if there was a burst of excitement. A wave of heat impacted our rationality, causing our calmness and self-control to gradually disintegrate. We wanted to carnival with him. Whether it was singing, dancing or Li Li, they were all like a psychedelic black hole full of infinite and deadly emotions. attraction"

As expected of a writer of literary novels, she is full of literary and artistic words, but she does not often appear in front of the camera, maybe because of nervousness, her voice is a little trembling, her face is tense, and the most important thing is - like Qin Ji It is absolutely impossible for these "old fritters" to act like Liu Qing, with their chests in their arms, looking for the microphone. After all, it will not look good in the mirror. Don't look at them sitting casually, in fact, they are posing all the time.

Li Li smiled and thanked Liu Qing, but suddenly a loud and energetic female voice came in: "I don't think you should appear on this stage!"

Not to mention Li Li on the stage, Qin Ji was stunned, and moved forward calmly. Qin Ji finally saw the serious face of the old artist who was a step away from him. It was terribly black.

It’s no wonder Qin Ji was so shocked. Since the first season, this show has not followed the current trendy hot-spicy comment route. After all, the last show was all small and well-known singers, not those who were trembling for a debut. Opportunity's draft singer, everyone seems to be friendly and friendly, even if it is a criticism, it has to turn [-] turns before saying it.

"I thought I was here to be a judge of a singing competition, not a dance competition, right?" The old artist frowned fiercely, and his serious tone didn't seem like a joke at all.

She is said to be an old artist, but she is not actually that kind of gray-haired grandmother. She is only sixty years old and well-maintained. There is not a single white thread in her curly hair with a sense of the times. Only the wrinkles on her face can tell that she has experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"I just counted, not counting the chords in the accompaniment. You sang less than fifteen lines in total. Are you worthy of singing?" When she was angry, she even clenched her fist and knocked on the table: "Rhythm and vocal Complementing each other is called music. Tell me yourself, is your song qualified? The rhythm keeps repeating, and the lyrics keep repeating. There is nothing appreciable. What I want to watch is not you playing a monkey show It's like jumping around on the stage!"
