Debuting After Eight Years of Time Travel: 154. Light metal English rock, Professor Wang is coming—the, phoenix (please subscribe)
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter that took eight years to debut!
Lingangjun’s band.
As soon as it started, there was a rush of drum beats.
Then, the guitar keyboard enters, and the noise of the bass joins in!
European and American styles are coming to you.
Ende and his four teammates are performing very hard.
Although, their band was on the verge of disbanding, so they had no choice but to come to China to waste money.
However, they still have dreams and still want to return to the ranks of mainstream bands in Los Angeles!
This time is also an opportunity for them to prove themselves.
Good Voice is popular in countries all over the world, and the Chinese region will also be paid attention to by European and American media.
If they have an amazing performance, maybe they can be reported by European and American media?
Eun Tak and the others are extremely focused on their performances, trying to gain attention!
Lin Gangjun opened his voice with a more violent and hoarse voice, and combined with the slightly metallic manic music style, it instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
It is indeed a relatively pure European and American English rock song.
Many rock-loving audiences who were looking forward to this rock showdown were slightly surprised with their eyes lit up.
Cui Wenfeng, who was sitting on a chair, also watched Lin Gangjun's singing seriously.
Wang Qian also looked at Lin Gangjun on the TV screen seriously and only listened to the prelude.
He knew that this should be a European and American metal-style rock song!
Not heavy metal, though.
Light metal leaning toward hard rock.
This reminded Wang Qian of memories from another world in his heart.
This style is very similar to a Linkin Park song.
However, Lin Gangjun's voice and strength are not as good as that of the late Linkin Park lead singer.
Of course, as far as the scene is concerned.
Lin Gangjun's performance is already very good and professional.
Zhao Wei and He Fulin, two rock veterans, were so engrossed in listening to it that they reached out and gently beat the beat on their knees.
Murong Yue whispered next to Wang Qian: "It is indeed a good rock song. With Lin Gangjun's current performance, if it is released in North America, it may be able to enter the top 20 of the Billboard, and it is estimated that it will not be in the top 10. It’s very possible. Of course, it also depends on luck!”
Jiang Yu also nodded in agreement with Murong Yue's words.
In the new era, information is extremely developed.
The success of works in the entertainment industry is not mainly dependent on the quality and strength of the work itself, unlike twenty or thirty years ago. External factors are also important.
Nowadays, some songs that simply sell memes can become popular for a while.
The title songs of some popular singers who have been carefully produced by international teams are unknown, but simple songs written using memes that were briefly played on variety shows can become popular.
This was unimaginable ten or twenty years ago, but now it is very common.
This is also one of the reasons why many singers no longer focus on making music.
Because there are other ways to go.
Then, naturally, everyone will not follow the same path.
Wang Qian said softly: "Then let's sing that English song too."
Murong Yue looked at Wang Qian: "Are you sure? You don't plan to wait until the finals or the international competition?"
Zhao Wei, He Fulin, and Jiang Yu also looked at Wang Qian.
They have been rehearsing a lot of works recently.
Moreover, Wang Qianyi is responsible for all the writing, composing, arranging and other creative work. They are only responsible for performing well.
For this performance, the originally scheduled song was a rock song that was more folk-oriented, Lao Xu’s - Travel!
But now I see Lin Gangjun’s performance.
The metallic hard rock atmosphere hits.
The restless heart in Wang Qian's heart could not be restrained.
English rock?
He can do it too!
He must be heading for the World Championship this time.
Of course I also have some practice in English rock.
However, for now they have only rehearsed one English rock song.
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue naturally thought that Wang Qian might only have one English rock song now.
It must be taken out at the most critical moment.
Now
They thought it didn't seem like that time.
It seems that it is not used in the domestic arena. It is best to put it in the international arena because it is the home court of North America!
Although, Lin Gangjun's performance was very good and the atmosphere was very good. Many people at the scene stood up and waved!
But
This is the land of China after all.
English songs are not mainstream after all.
The vast majority of people who listen to English rock only listen to the rhythm and atmosphere. Basically, they can't understand the lyrics. Only a few people can understand the lyrics and can relate to them.
Even if many other people search for lyrics translation and understand the meaning of the lyrics, they actually don’t quite understand the emotions expressed in them.
After all, cultural barriers exist.
No matter how classic and beautiful your Chinese songs are, most people in Europe and the United States will not understand what you are singing.
Lin Gangjun chose an English rock song this time, which is actually a deviant approach!
His mediocre Chinese rock singing will definitely not be more influential than Wang Qian’s!
Because, he knew that no matter how he sang, he would never be able to sing that shameless song.
Wang Qian listened to Lin Gangjun's singing, looked at the TV screen, and said softly: "If we win with Chinese songs, he may not accept it!"
Murong Yue laughed: "So, Professor Wang is going to give a live teaching? Will Lin Gangjun be convinced that he lost?"
Wang Qian glanced at everyone and smiled: "Why not?"
Jiang Yu nodded lightly and said nothing.
Zhao Wei and He Fulin also smiled and remained silent.
Qin Xuerong continued to rub Wang Qian's shoulders gently, and the smile on his face became sweeter.
Many outside audiences are currently discussing Lin Gangjun’s thestar.
"This English rock song by Lin Gangjun is not inferior to the new song of the Hurricane Band, it sounds great!"
"Finally I've been waiting for Lin Gangjun's English rock. It sounds pretty good. I'm not disappointed. Like it."
"Lin Gangjun's strength is not too strong. It is a pity that he did not perfectly interpret the flavor of this song."
This is an audience that understands.
The Hurricanes are one of the most active rock bands in Europe and the United States. They won the Grammy Rock Award just two years ago, and the new song they just released is ranked tenth on the Billboard chart.
Comparing this song by Lin Gangjun with the song ranked tenth on the Billboard, it is already a very high evaluation.
There are also some that I didn’t understand, but thought they sounded good.
"It feels pretty good."
"To listen to rock music, you really need to listen to English rock music. The taste is completely different. There is a saying that among Chinese rock music, Professor Wang's last song "Shameless" is considered serious rock music, and forget about the others."
"Lin Gangjun dares to challenge Professor Ban Wang. He does have some skills. It sounds quite impressive!"
"This is real rock, it sounds good. It has more feeling than Guo Xiao's heavy metal Chinese rock last time."
These people don’t understand it, but they also like it. They are the majority.
There's more to dislike.
“I don’t understand what is being sung and I don’t like it.”
“Although the rhythm is quite interesting, I don’t understand it!”
"Who will translate what you are singing?"
"The audience is all Chinese. Why sing English songs? You haven't even reached the international competition yet."
"Get down quickly"
Chen Xiaowen listened carefully until Lin Gangjun finished singing, then she said softly: "Not bad! However, it did not exceed my expectations. It is a decent European and American studio assembly line song, all kinds of work They all have it, but they don’t have any obvious features. They may be popular for a while, but that’s it.”
Sun Jing said: "I think it's okay!"
Chen Xiaowen looked at Sun Jing: "Can Sister Sun understand?"
Sun Jing shook his head: "I don't understand, I just think it's okay."
Chen Xiaowen smiled and said nothing, but continued to watch the TV screen expectantly.
Onsite.
Lin Gangjun has finished singing, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He is wearing jeans, a tight black Zhenqi jacket, a black T-shirt underneath, and black leather shoes, giving him a rather cold look.
Eun Tak’s band members also came behind Lin Gangjun. At this time, many people discovered that Eun Tak’s five band members were all wearing long-sleeved T-shirts, covering up all kinds of fancy tattoos on their bodies. Apparently, people from the TV station I came to say hello, and I didn’t let the audience see those fancy tattoos. I didn’t care about the small tattoos on my neck and hands.
The audience burst into warm applause.
Wang Jingyu, Qin Han, and Liu Junhua just applauded along with everyone, their expressions were calm, and their eyes looked at Lin Gangjun with a hint of interest, but there was no excitement.
Cui Wenfeng, who only knows rock and roll and can understand this English song, was in a high mood and asked directly: "Lin Gangjun, did you participate in the creation of this song?"
Lin Gangjun nodded and replied to Cui Wenfeng: "Yes, I have in-depth communication with the creative team."
Cui Wenfeng also nodded slightly and said: "I don't see any style characteristics that belong to you. This is an obvious work of a studio team, with various elements, but nothing personal."
A trace of helplessness flashed in Lin Gangjun's eyes, and he smiled without saying a word.
Cui Wenfeng continued: "However, this song is also a good rock song, and your singing ability has been perfectly displayed. In terms of professionalism, your performance is not bad."
Cui Wenfeng: "Thank you, Brother Feng."
Wang Jingyu looked at Lin Gangjun curiously and asked, "Lingangjun, are you really ready to participate in the World Championship?"
Everyone looked at Lin Gangjun curiously, and more of them looked at it with amusement.
Because everyone knows the rhythm between Lin Gangjun and Wang Qian on Weibo in the past two days.
Many people say that Lin Gangjun started participating in English song writing in preparation for participating in the world competition.
Lin Gangjun smiled awkwardly and replied: "Those are all people's jokes, I don't dare. This year's players are so strong, I will be the winner if I can take one more step. This time my opponent is someone who I am very good at personally." I like Professor Wang, and I dare not say that I can win. Being able to compete on the same stage with Professor Wang and fully express what I want to express is very satisfying to me. ”
This is a very good statement.
Wang Jingyu clapped her palms gently to express her appreciation: "Come on! I'll give you 85 points."
Qin Han didn't comment too much, he just gave Lin Gangjun 86 points!
Liu Junhua also gave 85 points.
Cui Wenfeng gave 89 points!
The professional score reached 86 points, which is not low, and it is not high among the players tonight!
Ling Gangjun was slightly disappointed, but he bowed respectfully to the four instructors and said, "Thank you, four teachers. I will continue to work hard."
The competition of The Voice has progressed to this point, and the remaining contestants are all strong players who almost never make mistakes.
So, the professional scores are relatively high and very close.
Lingangjun turned around and walked off the stage with Ende and others.
Ende asked Lin Gangjun in a low voice: "Lin, have we won?"
Several people in the band looked at Lin Gangjun with concern!
They traveled across the ocean and came to China just to make money. In the eyes of many of their fellow bands in North America, they were degenerates.
But if they still lose here.
They will probably have to disband when they go back.
Ling Gangjun replied softly: "I don't know, our opponent hasn't appeared yet. Guys, thank you, your performance is great."
After hearing the compliment, several people laughed.
Ende: "Of course, with our help, you will definitely win."
Lin Gangjun did not answer these words, and quietly walked to the lounge with a few people. When he saw Wang Qian and others walking towards the stage, he paid attention and saluted.
Wang Qian nodded towards Lin Gangjun.
Lingangjun smiled slightly nervously, and then led Ende and others into his lounge.
The manager got water for several people and said quickly: "The company called and said that they are now promoting you and trying to attract as many votes as possible from the online audience!"
Lingang Jun nodded and said he understood.
The manager said with a hint of regret: "Your performance just now was great. However, we may have misjudged everyone's acceptance of English songs. I observed the audience at the scene and the public opinion on the Internet. . People are not very receptive to your English songs. Most people still don’t understand them, but they feel pretty good if they can hear the melody.”
“However, in terms of understanding and emotional substitution, it certainly cannot be compared with Chinese songs”
When the agent said this, he stopped and did not continue.
However, Lin Gangjun understood.
The company misjudged the audience's receptivity to English songs.
Nowadays, it seems that everyone is not very accepting of his songs.
If
Wang Qian sings a good Chinese song, plus its popularity base.
Lingang Army basically has no chance of winning.
A trace of helplessness flashed in the eyes
Lin Gangjun said calmly: "I want to sing a Chinese song earlier. People from the company bought this song because they said they wanted to go international. I personally like this song better."
That's all Lin Gangjun said.
The agent was silent.
Everyone understands the meaning.
But, no one said anything!
To sum it up in one sentence.
The odds of winning are not high!
In China, why don’t we stop making those fancy English songs and just sing songs that everyone can understand?
But!
This time.
The host Daji said: "Next, the last contestant to perform, Wang Qian, Professor Wang. This time, Professor Wang also brought us an English song he composed, the song is called thephoenix!"
Lin Gangjun, his manager, and people from the band such as Ende were all slightly shocked.
Neither Lin Gangjun nor his manager expected that Wang Qian would also sing an English song?
Although the five members of Ende did not understand, they did understand the title of the song.
They all naturally guessed that Wang Qian might sing an English song!
What does this mean?
The manager laughed: "Wang Qian did it on purpose! But that's fine, no matter if it was intentional or not. But he also sings English songs, so he is just like us. In terms of language, no one has an advantage. , it depends on who can lead more people!”
Ling Gangjun’s eyes flashed with anticipation and inexplicable throbbing!
If he loses to a Chinese song, he can find an excuse to say that he chose the wrong song!
But
If you lose to the same English song.
Then there is nothing to say.
When the four instructors heard what the host said, there was obvious surprise on their faces.
Everyone in the audience also didn’t expect it!
Many spectators sitting in front of the TV outside the venue could not have imagined that Wang Qian would also sing an English song.
Chen Xiaowen, Liu Shengnan and others all had confused eyes at this moment and were watching the TV with expectation!
Before this, Wang Qian did not disclose any information to the outside world.
Just when many people are wondering and thinking.
A burst of rapid music has been heard.
A sense of tension before a war arises inexplicably.
